Six-Grade Spirit Medicine, Thousand-Year Dragon Lingzhi!

By now, Liu Yuer and Xia Feng had consumed no one knew how much Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue. Their blood and vitality surged like dragons, and in terms of physical strength alone, they were no weaker than Soul Kings or Soul Emperors!

"Earth Demon Bulls are extremely rare in the wild, and they prefer living in herds!"

"Wild Earth Demon Bulls usually grow up under the protection of the Earth Demon Bull King, making them exceedingly difficult to hunt!"

"However, as far as I know, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal ranch raises Earth Demon Bulls. Like Wind Spirit Horses, they're strategic reserve resources!"

"Perhaps we can buy one with money this time!"

"Many nobles in Heaven Dou enjoy Earth Demon Bull meat. That might be a shortcut!"

Xia Feng had also done plenty of research beforehand. This time, they did not intend to go hunting outside. Instead, they planned to use the power of money to help Xia Feng obtain his fourth soul ring!

"Earth Demon Bulls are soul beasts specially raised by the Heaven Dou royal family. Ordinary people have no way of obtaining them."

"We'll have to take this slowly!"

Liu Yuer shook her head. Things were not as easy as Xia Feng made them sound. Without an introduction, ordinary people could not even enter the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Ranch.

"Maybe we can ask Dugu Bo!"

"As the head of the Dugu Clan in the Heaven Dou royal capital, he might be able to make some connections for us!"

Xia Mu looked at the two of them. Back on the Desolate Gold Plain, Dugu Bo had owed Xia Feng a favor. Given Dugu Bo's proud nature, this matter might just work out.

"Dugu Bo?"

"He's a high-level six-ring Soul Emperor!"

"Though we've met him before, would he really help us if we suddenly went to him with a request?"

Liu Yuer hesitated, unable to make up her mind.

"Ah, let's give it a try!"

"Rumor has it that Dugu Bo is extremely proud and rather eccentric, but he's a man who clearly distinguishes gratitude from grudges!"

That was all Xia Mu could do to reassure them.

"Our family of three has stayed in Vast Sea City for two years now, and we've already avoided the trouble from the Heaven Dou Auction."

"Two years is enough time for many things to fade away."

"This time, we can use this matter as an excuse to formally settle down in Heaven Dou City."

"As long as we're careful in all things, nothing should go wrong!"

Xia Feng spoke loudly to the two of them.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Since we're leaving Vast Sea City, why don't we sweep up all the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue here first?"

"This place is near the sea. Though Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue is rare, as long as we have money, we can always pick up some bargains."

Xia Mu looked at his parents and made another suggestion.

He was only eight years old. His body had not fully developed yet, and consuming Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue too early would hinder his growth.

But Xia Mu did not mind having more Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue. Not only could this stuff increase the age limit of soul rings one could absorb, it could also boost a soul master's soul power.

"Alright!"

"Since we're leaving anyway, we might as well sweep up all the whale glue here. It doesn't cost much, and keeping it around means we'll be prepared for anything."

Liu Yuer nodded. She and Xia Feng then went out to the market specifically to buy Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

After half a month, Liu Yuer once again used the power of money to acquire more than ten pieces of high-quality Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

"This piece of whale glue is around seventy thousand years old!"

"It's said to be loot left behind by a Soul Douluo while hunting his eighth ring. Its quality is quite good!"

"Besides that, I also bought four pieces of whale glue that are over fifty thousand years old. They cost me quite a bit!"

Liu Yuer took out five jade boxes from her storage ring. Inside were five pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

"You caused such a huge stir in Vast Sea City. It looks like we can't stay here any longer!"

"Before the enemies lurking in the shadows discover your true identity, we need to leave quickly."

"I'll buy a few Wind Spirit Horses later. Early tomorrow morning, our family will head for Heaven Dou City!"

Xia Feng spoke to the two of them.

The next day, at dawn!

Sunlight filtered through the leaves of the coconut trees and spilled across the golden beach. The air was humid and hot, while sea breezes blew in waves.

The three members of the Xia Family each rode a century-old Wind Spirit Horse and headed straight out through Vast Sea City's gates.

The three rode swiftly away, vanishing down the official road.

One month later, Heaven Dou royal capital.

Amid the clatter of hooves, dust flew along the official road as the three figures appeared before Heaven Dou City.

"Heaven Dou City, we're back!"

Two years ago, the Xia Family had suddenly become rich. To avoid the crisis lurking in the shadows, the three had chosen to live in seclusion by the Vast Sea.

Now that they had returned, their feelings were deeply complicated!

"I've asked around!"

"The Dugu Clan is located in the west of Heaven Dou City. After entering the city, we'll buy a small courtyard in the west."

"Then we can make further plans!"

Xia Feng made the decision, and neither of the other two objected.

Heaven Dou Auction!

"Dad!"

"What are we doing here?"

Xia Mu looked at his father in confusion.

"Some time ago, I ran into Dugu Xin while I was out. He's going to marry Feng Yansha!"

"This is the invitation he gave me!"

"It wouldn't be proper for us to visit the Dugu Clan for the first time empty-handed. We have to bring something!"

"As the saying goes, a gentleman's friendship is as plain as water!"

"But we're asking them for help, after all. If we don't offer a substantial gift, your father's soul ring will be a lost cause!"

Xia Feng took out an invitation and explained.

Two years ago, when the Xia Family hunted wolf bandits on the Desolate Gold Plain, Dugu Xin had met Xia Feng once.

At the time, Dugu Xin had formed a very favorable impression of Xia Feng. Upon meeting again, both sides were willing to become friends.

"Dugu Xin is getting married?"

"He's only twenty this year, right?"

Xia Mu felt a little emotional. As expected of Love Continent, people here generally matured so early.

His own father had married early!

And now, even Dugu Xin had not escaped it!

"Distinguished guests!"

"The next treasure is a superb four-thousand-year Dragon Lingzhi, a medicinal herb that can rank among sixth-grade spirit medicines!"

"Even more rare, this Dragon Lingzhi still retains its vitality and can produce a four-thousand-year soul ring!"

"Opportunity knocks but once!"

"According to the appraisal, this Thousand-Year Dragon Lingzhi has a starting price of five hundred thousand. Each bid must increase by no less than ten thousand. It will go to the highest bidder, so distinguished guests who need it must not miss this chance!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked.

"A four-thousand-year Dragon Lingzhi?"

"That's a good thing indeed. Using it as a wedding gift would be both impressive and substantial!"

Dugu Bo was proficient in poison arts and knew many medicinal herbs. Giving this as a gift would carry considerable weight!

"Dad!"

"Bid for this Thousand-Year Dragon Lingzhi. If we use it as an introduction, your fourth soul ring should be practically secured!"

Because Xia Feng's fourth soul ring was too old, it could not be exposed, so he could only hunt it in secret.

And the key to everything lay with Dugu Bo.

As long as Dugu Bo was willing to help, let alone a thousand-year Earth Demon Bull, even a ten-thousand-year Earth Demon Bull could easily be bought through the Dugu Clan's connections.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Xia Feng nodded lightly!

After an intense bidding war, Xia Feng ultimately won the Thousand-Year Dragon Lingzhi for eight hundred thousand.

West of Heaven Dou City, Dugu Clan.

Lanterns and decorations filled the surroundings, while guests came and went in an endless stream. It turned out that today was Dugu Xin's wedding day.

"Brother Dugu, congratulations on your marriage!"

Xia Feng arrived at the Dugu Clan with his wife and son to offer congratulations, while personally presenting his wedding gift.

"Brother Xia!"

"Madam Xia!"

"I'm overjoyed that you two could attend my wedding banquet. I failed to personally welcome you earlier, so please forgive my discourtesy!"

Dugu Xin was also delighted to see his old friends. He led the two into the residence while apologizing.

"Not at all, not at all!"

"Today is your great day!"

"Our family came to share a cup of wedding wine and bask in some of your good fortune!"

Xia Feng waved his hand and offered flattering words.

"Master, this old servant has something to report!"

Just then, an elderly steward found Dugu Bo and said that he had an important matter to report.
