Whale Rubber

Ling Yu pulled Na'er into the residence Salas had arranged for them. It was behind the Spirit Temple, where there were many rooms for Spirit Hall personnel to stay in.

Led by two deacons, he held the girl's hand and entered the two most luxurious suites.

"Na'er, we'll be staying here for the next few days. What do you think?"

Gu Yuena looked at the two rooms before her, then at Ling Yu beside her. Her lips curved slightly as she said with a hint of grievance, "Little Yu Gege, did Na'er do something to upset you? Why do you want to sleep separately from Na'er? Weren't we always together in the carriage before?"

Ling Yu hurriedly said, "How could that be? If Na'er doesn't want to sleep alone, then we can share a room!"

Hearing Ling Yu say that, Na'er lowered her head, a trace of a triumphant smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

Seeing that it was still early before nightfall, Ling Yu took Na'er out to stroll around the city.

The two walked down the street. Though they were both six-year-old children and their attire was clearly extraordinary, drawing plenty of attention with their looks, no one foolish enough came looking for trouble.

Suddenly, after Ling Yu held Na'er's hand and bought some snacks, a huge building bearing the words "Auction House" appeared before him.

Ling Yu's eyes immediately lit up at the sight of the building. "An auction... I remember there being a lot of good things auctioned here, even soul bones!"

He took out two masks from his ring, covering both his and Na'er's faces completely, then headed toward the auction house.

Bibi Dong had even prepared a Gold Soul Card for him in his ring. There were quite a few Gold Soul Coins in it!

As they entered the lobby, two maids dressed in outfits resembling the cheongsams from his previous life approached them. Their tight-fitting clothes fully accentuated their figures, revealing nothing completely while displaying all their advantages.

Not bad!

Ling Yu secretly sighed in admiration. Then, one of the maids said softly, "Hello. Please present your proof of entry!"

"Proof of entry? How do we prove it?" Ling Yu asked the woman.

The woman bent slightly at the waist and said, "For example, a Gold Soul Card. As long as it is verified to contain more than one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, you may enter the auction house!"

Ling Yu nodded upon hearing this. He reached into his Soul Guidance Device Ring, took out a golden card, and handed it to her.

The woman accepted the card and passed it to an appraiser behind her. Less than a minute later, the card was returned to Ling Yu. The girl turned slightly to the side, bowed, and gestured for the two of them to enter.

The two walked into the hall without looking around. Quite a few people had already gathered inside, and when they saw two children enter, they cast curious looks their way.

"Whose children are these? They're coming here at such a young age?"

"Judging by their clothes and bearing, they don't look like ordinary nobles. They probably have a major force behind them!"

"..."

Ling Yu ignored the murmuring crowd around them. Holding Na'er's slightly nervous hand, he casually walked to a corner, sat down quietly, and waited for the auction to begin.

A few minutes later, the lights in the hall dimmed. A beam of light immediately focused on the auction stage at the front, where a woman with delicate features and a seductive figure walked in. With every alluring step she took, Ling Yu could even hear some indecent swallowing sounds from the people around him.

"Hello, everyone. I am today's auctioneer, Yaya! Thank you all for attending Heaven Dou City's monthly auction! Our venue has prepared many items this time, and we hope none of you will leave empty-handed!"

After saying that, the woman clapped her hands. A maid carrying a tray covered with black cloth walked onto the auction stage.

"Without further ado, let us begin the auction for the first item!"

She reached out and removed the black cloth from the tray. An unusual object appeared before the crowd, glowing with a golden sheen but wrapped in a layer of blackish keratin on its surface.

"The first auction item is a piece of Whale Rubber from a five-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale. A Soul Sage from Vast Sea City obtained it after accidentally killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale while out fishing. As for its effects, I believe many distinguished guests here are already aware of them. That's right, it has powerful aphrodisiac properties and effects similar to an aphrodisiac!"

Ling Yu's face darkened upon hearing that. They even sold this here?

Having never read the original novel, he naturally did not know that this thing was highly beneficial for strengthening the body. In Soul Land 2, Huo Gua obtained a piece of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, greatly increasing his physical strength.

He looked speechlessly at the many men around him whose eyes were gleaming, the corners of his mouth twitching nonstop.

"Brother! Buy it! This thing is very good for the body!"

Just as Ling Yu felt helpless, Na'er's whisper beside him nearly scared him to death.

"Na'er, this... this isn't a good thing. Let's not buy it, okay?"

Ling Yu lowered his head and tried to keep his tone calm. "We're still young. Eating this won't do anything for us!"

A flash of purple passed through Gu Yuena's eyes, and her gaze at Ling Yu carried a hint of amusement. "Trust me, Brother. I can sense that this thing is very beneficial for the body. It's much better than ordinary Soul Beast meat!"

Looking at Na'er, who spoke with such certainty, Ling Yu fell into a moment of indecision. In the end, he chose to trust his little sister.

"The starting price is five thousand Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must increase by no less than one hundred. The auction begins now!"

At the female auctioneer's command, scattered voices rang out through the hall.

"Five thousand one hundred!"

"Five thousand five hundred!"

"..."

Ling Yu carefully looked around. There were only three bidders. Sure enough, few people were willing to expose certain personal problems in front of so many others. These three old brothers were brave!

As the price climbed to six thousand, Ling Yu raised the bidding paddle at his side.

"Seven thousand!"

The moment his words fell, countless gazes turned toward him. When they saw that he was a child, many people revealed strange expressions. Did even children only a few years old need this stuff now?

Had nobles fallen this far?

Besides, at his age, did he even have that function?

Ignoring the strange looks from most of the crowd, once the price rose to seven thousand, the three people who had intended to continue bidding all gave up. Six thousand five hundred was already the highest price for this thing. Any more than that, and it would not be worth it!

When the female auctioneer saw that it was a very short child, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. However, she then raised the auction hammer.

"Seven thousand, going once!"

"Seven thousand, going twice!"

"Seven thousand, going three times!"

As the third call fell, the female auctioneer pointed at Ling Yu and said with a smile, "Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the first auction item!"
