Chapter 513 - Trading
Chapter 513 – Trading
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “I’m not trading it. I can exchange this Endless Life Fruit for all of your fruits, but I can’t give you the box.”
The white tiger got anxious. “Then what do you want in exchange?”
Lan Xuanyu: “I don’t know either! What else do you have?”
If his teammates saw this scene, they would immediately understand that this fella was going to wait until the last minute before agreeing. But how could the white tiger avoid Lan Xuanyu’s scheming? It stretched out its claws, slapped out a silver light, and dug around inside. After a while, it took out a stone and handed it to Lan Xuanyu.
This was a palm-sized jade green crystal, wasn’t it a Life Crystal? This type of Life Crystal required extremely rich life energy and could only be formed in a place with the densest life energy on a planet.
This piece was hundreds of times bigger than the Life Crystal embedded in Lan Xuanyu’s box. Also, Lan Xuanyu didn’t feel any difference between it and the one on his box. That extremely dense life aura far surpassed anything he had seen before.
Shrek Academy naturally had Life Crystals as well, but this was their most precious thing. It was impossible to exchange for it at all, at least not in the Outer Court, including the Special Exchange Office.
The defective goods on Lan Xuanyu’s box naturally didn’t count.
Such a large piece of Life Crystal would probably cost an astronomical figure in the academy. Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He couldn’t hold back anymore.
He could already sense that this white tiger was not ordinary and probably had quite a high status in the world of soul beasts. It was best to quickly make a deal before anyone found out.
At that moment, he said reluctantly, “Life Crystals! We have them too, but they’re better than yours. Alright, seeing that we know each other and are friends, I’ll trade with you. But let’s make a deal. With this trade, we’ll be good friends and brothers in the future. This is a gift between friends, we can’t go back on our words.”
The white tiger was already extremely anxious. “Alright, alright. Also, I’m not your good brother. I’m your good sister, I’m a girl.”
A tigress? This was the first thought that appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s mind and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded and said, “Alright, sister then. I’ll treat you as a sister in the future.”
With that, the man and tiger sealed the deal with satisfied looks on their faces.
A faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face and he heaved a sigh of relief. This fella slept in his bed but had brought so many good things with her. As long as there weren’t any soul beasts looking for a payback later on, he would have profited greatly. Let alone those Emperor Fruits, just by placing this large piece of Life Crystal in his meditation room, he wouldn’t even need to go to the Sea God Lake, right? The life energy contained in this was accumulated over thousands of years in the Elven Planet. The concentration was so strong that it was sufficient for him to cultivate anywhere. He had really profited big!
Everything was just simply perfect, he had received such a huge benefit after just arriving on the planet.
The white tiger took the box and the fruit and looked at Lan Xuanyu with gratitude. “You’re really a good person.”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly couldn’t bear it anymore. “Actually, everyone is talking about me like that. We’ll be friends from now on. If you need any help, feel free to look for me. I’m on Douluo Planet, Shrek Academy.”
“En en. But I don’t think I can leave the planet.” The white tiger said wrongly.
“Oh right, what is your name?” The white tiger suddenly asked.
Lan Xuanyu: “My name is Lan Xuanyu. What about you? Do you have a name?”
“Of course I do,” the white tiger replied. “They call me Tiger King, it sounds so awful, I don’t like it at all. That’s why I’ve given myself a name. Look at my head, isn’t this butterfly pattern especially beautiful? I made it myself, and my name is Lan Hudie (1). Speaking of which, do we have the same surname Lan ? (2)”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. “I think so.”
The white tiger giggled. “Then we’re family. I’m definitely older than you, so you should call me big sister. In the future, I’ll treat you as my little brother, how about that?”
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes and said, “No way. You soul beasts can’t be compared to us humans in terms of age. I can tell that you’re very young just by listening to your voice. You’re more like my little sister.”
The white tiger scoffed. “You’re really petty, huh. You’re so calculative. Alright, so be it, little sister. Then it’s a deal.”
As it spoke, it walked forward and rubbed its head against Lan Xuanyu’s chest.
For some reason, when the butterfly pattern on its forehead came into contact with Lan Xuanyu’s chest, Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel his bloodline vortex fluctuating slightly. Lan Hudie’s hair also emitted a dark blue halo.
Unknowingly, the human and tiger felt a sense of intimacy.
Lan Hudie raised her head. “The smell on your body is so comfortable. But I have to go back. They will be looking for me. I’ve been out for a long time, but they’re so boring. They only know how to let me cultivate. It’s so annoying. I’ll find another chance to play with you. Goodbye, big brother.”
With that said, she raised her tiger claw in a very human manner and patted Lan Xuanyu’s shoulder gently. Then, she suddenly turned around and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that it seemed as fast as lightning.
Seeing her back as she left, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt that he couldn’t bear it anymore. This fella was really a little naive! Should he give her back her stuff if she regrets it later on ?
Although that was what he thought in his heart, he had already stored everything properly. He had a very good impression of this white tiger. Not only was she beautiful, but also very innocent. She was so pure! Cough cough…
The sky gradually lit up and Lan Xuanyu finally found food. There was no meat here. Yes, this was the world of soul beasts and there was naturally no meat for them to eat. There were all sorts of fruits.
But these fruits were delicious, and the key was that each of them contained a rich life energy, which was very rare. They didn’t even need to eat much and they already felt full. The rich life energy nourished their bodies, and after breakfast, everyone’s spirits were restored.
At noon, everyone gathered.
Xiao Qi followed behind Wang Tianyu. Wang Tianyu walked to the front of the many students from Shrek Academy and said, “There are still three days before the ceremony. Since we’re here in the Elven Planet, we’ll take the chance to take a look and understand the world of soul beasts. Most importantly, I told you guys on the spacecraft that we will be heading to the Soul Beast Nursing District soon. En, that is the Reclining Garden that the soul beasts mentioned. There are soul beasts that are nearing the end of their lifespans living there. If there are suitable ones, both parties can choose one another. Of course, the prerequisite is that the soul beasts must become Spirit Souls of their own accord. There will be people in charge of supervising the soul beasts in this area, and we will be going with the Spirit Pagoda, War God Temple, and the Tang Sect. So all of you must be alert and show your most outstanding side in front of the soul beasts. Whether you can gain anything depends on yourself.”
Are we going to choose a Spirit Soul now? Upon hearing Wang Tianyu’s words, most of the students present couldn’t help but become excited, especially the first years.
Although not everyone was at the bottleneck of their Spirit Power and needed to fuse with a Spirit Soul, following the evolution of the Spirit Soul Ritual, there was no longer a need to specially cultivate their Spirit Power to the bottleneck before fusing. Humans could meet the Spirit Soul first and reach an agreement with it to let the Spirit Soul live in their own body and wait for the breakthrough to complete the fusion process.
