Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Thousand-Year Whale Glue!

Lin Ye was startled.

With Innate Full Spirit Power and the physique granted by a God-Rank Martial Soul, he knew the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Devour skill was powerful.

But he had never expected it to be this powerful.

Not only could it strengthen every aspect of his body, it could also increase the age of his existing Soul Rings?

What did that mean?

It meant that as long as he kept Devouring, the age of his Soul Rings could continue to increase!

Then, in theory, he could raise every single Soul Ring to ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years!

This was practically an unlimited-leveling cheat!

Lin Ye took another deep breath and forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart.

For now, no one could be allowed to learn of this.

Just then,

an earth-shaking roar suddenly came from the mountaintop.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Vajra World-Ending Palm!"

BOOM!

A massive golden palm phantom descended from the mountaintop, carrying an overwhelming pressure capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"Awoo—"

The final prolonged howl from the mountainside came to an abrupt stop.

Immediately afterward, a huge dark-silver figure tumbled down from the cliffside and crashed heavily into the valley floor.

It was the Wolf King.

A large section of its chest had caved in, and its dark-silver fur was soaked in blood.

The crimson vertical pupils in its eyes had completely lost their light.

Li Feng withdrew his Martial Soul and slowly descended the mountain.

At the same time,

the dozen or so remaining Wolf Raiders in the gorge fell into chaos the instant they saw the Wolf King die.

Without a commander, the Wolf Raiders were like headless flies, and their attack rhythm completely fell apart.

The six Soul Ancestors seized the chance to press their assault. In less than three minutes,

the last Wolf Raider was hacked to the ground with a single slash. It twitched twice, then went still.

The battle was over.

The entire gorge returned to silence.

Li Feng strode up to Lin Ye, his expression complicated.

"Brother Lin."

Li Feng clasped his hands in a respectful salute, his tone solemn.

"If you hadn't acted at that critical moment tonight, at least two or three of my men would have been lost."

"I, Li, will remember this favor."

Lin Ye waved his hand.

"You're too polite, Brother Li. We're traveling together, so looking out for each other is only natural."

Li Feng shook his head.

He did not ask what that black hole of Lin Ye's had been.

After traveling far and wide for so many years, he understood one truth all too well.

Everyone had secrets. Asking what should not be asked was a great taboo in the martial world.

But there were some things he understood perfectly well.

This kid was absolutely no ordinary Great Soul Master.

Those methods, that presence, even that judgment that remained calm as still water in the face of life and death...

He was someone destined to stand at the top.

"Brother, wait a moment."

Li Feng suddenly reached into his robes, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a jade pendant.

The pendant was about the size of an adult's thumbnail, its surface carved with exceptionally intricate patterns.

A faint ripple of soul power could vaguely be felt from it.

"This is..." Lin Ye's gaze shifted slightly.

"A Storage Soul Tool."

Li Feng handed the jade pendant over.

"I don't know how else to thank you, so I can only give you this."

"There are five cubic meters of space inside. It isn't very large, but it should be enough to store some everyday items."

A Storage Soul Tool?

Lin Ye's heartbeat skipped half a beat.

Wasn't this exactly what he had been trying to find before?

He had gone to the general store hoping to try his luck, but not only had he failed to find one, he had ended up running into that mess involving Dai Mubai.

Who would have thought that what he had searched everywhere for would come to him without any effort?

"Brother Li, this is far too valuable. I can't accept it."

Lin Ye declined with his words, but his hand had already very honestly reached out.

Li Feng was amused by his little act.

"Take it. I used this jade pendant in my early years, but I later replaced it with a larger one, so this has been sitting unused ever since."

Then he paused before adding,

"There should also be some things I stored inside years ago. I was too lazy to clear them out, so they're all yours. Consider it a small token from your big brother."

Seeing this, Lin Ye stopped standing on ceremony and tucked the jade pendant into his robes.

"Then thank you, Brother Li."

"What are you thanking me for? You've done so much. What's one old jade pendant worth?"

After seeing Lin Ye accept it, Li Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright,"

"there's still a long road ahead. You two lovebirds should get some proper rest."

"Brother Li, we're not..."

Zhu Zhuqing tried to explain.

However, Lin Ye's voice directly drowned hers out.

"Alright, Brother Li. You should rest early too."

Zhu Zhuqing could only glare fiercely at him.

Bad Lin Ye!

Then Li Feng walked away with a hearty laugh.

After the two returned to the carriage,

Zhu Zhuqing leaned against a corner with her eyes closed, recovering her strength. She had consumed too much soul power and needed to recover as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye sat on the other side, turning the jade pendant over in his hand.

After threading his spiritual power into it,

a space of five cubic meters unfolded within his perception.

The space truly was not large, but it was more than enough for him at his current stage.

There were not many items inside either, scattered in a pile.

There was a bulging money pouch.

There were also three irregularly shaped, translucent gelatinous objects.

And several rusted daggers.

Lin Ye first took out the money pouch and opened it.

Holy shit, there were actually two hundred Gold Soul Coins!

Lin Ye's eye twitched involuntarily.

Good heavens, Brother Li had called these "things he'd stored away before,"

yet he had casually given away two hundred Gold Soul Coins?

By the prices on Douluo Continent, an ordinary family's annual expenses were only around a dozen Gold Soul Coins.

Two hundred coins were enough for a family to live comfortably for more than a decade.

"Ah, it really is nice to be rich."

Lin Ye sighed and set the money pouch aside.

Next came the second item,

and the one that concerned Lin Ye the most: three amber-like gelatinous chunks.

Lin Ye picked up one of the smaller pieces, placed it in his palm, and gently squeezed it.

It felt warm and smooth, remarkably elastic, and emitted a faint fishy scent of the sea.

"Whale Glue! This is actually Whale Glue!"

"And judging by the size, there should be two pieces of Hundred-Year Whale Glue and one piece of Thousand-Year Whale Glue!"

Lin Ye's face instantly filled with shock!

Whale Glue was the hardest of hard currencies on Douluo Continent.

It was refined from deep-sea whale-type soul beasts, with extremely low production and an extremely high price.

Especially Thousand-Year Whale Glue—it was even rarer.

"Lin Ye, what are you looking at?"

At some point, Zhu Zhuqing had opened her eyes. Her catlike pupils stared curiously at the translucent amber-colored object in Lin Ye's hand.

Tilting her head, she asked in confusion,

"What is that?"

Lin Ye turned the three pieces of Whale Glue over in his palm.

"This is Whale Glue."

"Whale Glue?"

Zhu Zhuqing repeated the two words,

but for some reason,

the color in her face began rising at a visibly rapid pace.

From her neck,

to her cheeks,

to the tips of her ears.

At last, even her forehead was tinged with a light blush.

Her catlike pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly turned her head away, her voice as faint as a whisper.

"Th-then... isn't that what those nobles use... use for that?"
