Chapter 15 Reunion After 3 Years
A fierce tiger's roar echoed through the forest for a radius of a thousand meters, and a terrifying aura of royalty permeated the forest, causing some weaker spirit beasts to desperately flee outwards.
The tiger's roar echoed for a long time, then suddenly stopped at a certain moment.
Soon, a rustling sound came from the woods, and Ye Tian, covered in dirt, emerged from the bushes, clutching a long rope made of fur in his hand.
As Ye Tian exerted his strength, a dark tiger corpse over ten meters tall emerged from the forest. Looking at the dark tiger behind him, even with his greatly improved strength, he felt exhausted.
Recently, he has been taking on various missions in order to go on a shopping spree in Tiandou City. It has been a month since he took the whale glue, and Ye Tian has already saved up 10,000 gold soul coins.
After taking the dark giant tiger back, he planned to sleep for a few days.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household.
Those nobles used whale glue as an aphrodisiac, and they drove up the price of whale glue as if it were free. Ye Tian had inquired about it before, and nowadays, pharmacies have never had whale glue that is 10,000 years old, and the most they have is whale glue that is 5,000 years old.
It took more than an hour to drag the massive, dark tiger, weighing a thousand pounds, to the mission location. After picking up his reward, Ye Tian immediately found a hotel, washed up, and went to sleep.
When he woke up again, he asked the waiter and learned that he had slept for three days and three nights. Ye Tian suddenly discovered that his soul power had increased significantly, reaching level forty-six.
A level up in a month and a half—if this news were known to the world, countless Soul Masters would be utterly astonished.
Given Ye Tian's terrifying cultivation speed, he will become a Soul King in at most another six months.
Ye Tian knew he had pushed himself too hard this time, and any future results wouldn't be as noticeable. He then spent ten days traveling, finally arriving at the heart of the Heavenly Dou Empire—Heavenly Dou City.
This place truly lives up to its reputation as one of only two royal cities in the Douluo Continent; among the people coming and going, Soul Masters make up almost one-fifth.
Ye Tian continued to buy whale glue at the pharmacy. Perhaps because of his lavish spending, a pharmacy owner took the initiative to tell Ye Tian some inside information.
"Young master, in half a month, the Tiandou City Auction House will hold its annual auction. I heard that a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue from the sea will be auctioned at that time."
"real?"
"Of course, this news is not a secret among the herbal medicine merchants in Tiandou City."
What qualifications are needed for this auction?
"We happen to have an extra invitation. I can tell that you, sir, possess extraordinary abilities. Our shop recently has a team planning to go to Sunset Forest to gather some rare medicinal herbs. I wonder if you could help escort them on their journey?"
"What kind of medicinal herbs are you looking for?" Ye Tian did not immediately object to the pharmacy owner's conditions.
The effects of whale glue that has been refined for thousands of years are at least ten times stronger than those that have been refined for thousands of years. Moreover, no one has discovered the effects of whale glue yet, so there is a high chance that he will find a bargain.
Since such a treasure had been delivered to his doorstep, he naturally couldn't just watch it slip away.
The Sunset Forest contains soul beasts that are at most level 60. With his current strength, escaping wouldn't be difficult, which is why he was confident enough to listen to the shopkeeper's explanation.
"In the lair of a 30,000-year-old Frost Tiger, there are three Frostblood Grasses. We only want the medicinal herbs; we will not take anything else."
"If you agree, young master, our shop will offer an additional three thousand gold soul coins as a reward, plus an invitation to the auction. How about that?"
"Okay, let me know when you're ready to go." After a moment's consideration, Ye Tian accepted the invitation.
"I would like to invite you to my humble shop for a gathering five days from now at noon."
Ye Tian put away the temporary identity token offered by the shopkeeper and turned to leave.
Five days is just enough time for him to refine the whale glue in his hands and increase his strength.
After Ye Tian walked away, the boy who had been listening silently looked up at the shopkeeper, his eyes still showing a hint of resentment.
"Father, why are you being so polite to that person?"
"Besides, that was our only invitation, and you just sent it out like that?"
"What do you know!" The shopkeeper glared at his good-for-nothing son, his words filled with disappointment and disdain.
"Do you know who that young master was?"
"have no idea!"
"It's definitely not someone from a noble or aristocratic family; that face looks completely unfamiliar!"
The boy answered with such confidence and self-assurance.
Looking at the boy's innocent appearance, the shopkeeper's anger rose rapidly. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he slapped the boy across the face.
With a sharp crack, the boy winced in pain, clutching the back of his head, his clear eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
This silly boy has absolutely no idea why he hit him.
If it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and that the brat's face bore an uncanny resemblance to his mother, he would have seriously doubted whether the midwife had given him the wrong baby.
How could someone as shrewd as him have such a stupid son?
With a sigh, the shopkeeper had no choice but to break down the reasoning and force it into his son's mind.
"Haven't you noticed that there are more medicinal herbs related to spirit beasts in the shop lately?"
"Dad, didn't they say the price of soul beast materials has plummeted recently? What does this have to do with that person?"
The shopkeeper felt that if he looked at his rebellious son even once more, he would lose several years of his life, so he simply stopped looking at the fool in front of him and began to explain to himself.
"If you had paid more attention to the commotion outside, you would have known that a mission maniac has recently arrived and hunted several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. That person is the young master from earlier."
"Although we have hired other Soul Masters, with that young master in charge, we are definitely more confident. Besides, the invitation is not very useful to us; it is obviously more worthwhile to use it to do someone a favor."
"That young master has been buying whale glue recently, and we happen to have information he doesn't know about. This is how we build our network."
The boy nodded as if he understood, but it would probably take him many days to fully comprehend what his father meant.
The shopkeeper sighed, patted the boy on the back of the head, and looked at him with a hint of affection.
"It's all because I've protected you too well."
"Next time we go to gather herbs, I'll have your second uncle take you with me."
"Great!" the boy cheered. He was tired of being stuck in the herbal medicine shop. "Thank you, Father!"
Ye Tian returned to his residence, refined and consumed all the millennium whale glue he had, and felt his physique strengthen by another three points. He became even more eager for the legendary ten-thousand-year whale glue.
Just then, a system notification appeared.
"Please prepare yourself, host, as the dream entry will begin again tonight."
Ye Tian then realized that he hadn't dreamt for three months and wondered how much time had passed on Dong'er's side.
