Chapter 128: Powerful Mental Shock, Obtaining the Sea Chart!
For five-thousand-year-old Whale Glue, the Spirit Masters present all seem to know its benefits.
It appears golden-yellow and is of quite good quality; ordinary people who obtain a treasure like Whale Glue would not bring it out to sell.
Those with families and descendants can all make use of it.
This is a treasure that can directly improve one's strength; Whale Glue over a thousand years old is no longer a common item, and five-thousand-year-old Whale Glue is even more precious.
Moreover, the quantity is not small, enough for three people to use.
A starting bid of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins is not particularly high!
Even with Hai Qing being the son of the Hanhai City lord, there are still many nobles willing to compete with him for this Whale Glue.
"One hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"One hundred and fifteen thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
The price of the five-thousand-year-old Whale Glue continues to climb, and Lingxu does not immediately make a move, still waiting for the final price to see if it is worth purchasing.
Before long, the price reached one hundred and fifty thousand.
Ordinary thousand-year-old Whale Glue is worth about this much per portion, but this Whale Glue is considered good even among those of thousand-year age.
After all, there is still a huge gap between one thousand years and five thousand years.
Therefore, this price can still continue to rise.
"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Seeing the price increase by one thousand or two thousand Gold Soul Coins each time, Hai Qing feels he should be extravagant for once, bidding two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins directly.
Although the effects of Whale Glue are good, spending two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins at once to buy this is still a bit too expensive.
"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, going once."
"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, going twice..."
Every time the host calls out this price, Hai Qing looks back without hesitation, fearing that the person who competed with him before will bid again.
Just as the host is about to call out for the third time, Hai Qing turns his head to look in Lingxu's direction, only to see that Lingxu has already raised his paddle.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
This price has actually already exceeded the value of the Whale Glue, but being able to buy some to take back is still not bad.
Lingxu is certainly not lacking in Gold Soul Coins.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand Gold Soul Coins," Hai Qing says.
"Three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
This time, Lingxu increases the bid directly to three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins; if it goes too high, he also feels it is not worth it.
Furthermore, thinking carefully, this Whale Glue has that other effect, which doesn't seem very suitable for girls; if he needs it himself, he can go hunt whales to obtain Whale Glue.
Seeing Lingxu raise the price again and again, increasing it by a large amount almost every time.
Consequently, Hai Qing decides to go all out and says loudly, "I bid four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Once the four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins are bid, the venue is in an uproar.
Basically, the price of this Whale Glue would top out at twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins at most; four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins could even buy ten-thousand-year-old Whale Glue.
Hai Qing looks at Lingxu with the appearance of a victor; Lingxu, after seeing this, only reveals a slightly indifferent smile, and under Hai Qing's gaze, he leaves with Luo Yun'er and Luo Liu'er.
It is just that when his gaze rests on these two graceful figures, he suddenly feels that the two women beside him seem to be missing something.
In fact, he had two purposes for coming to the auction today: one was to buy the Super Dragon Abyss Boat, and then buy the Whale Glue; after obtaining both, he would take a dozen beauties to dive into the thousand-meter-deep sea.
Then he would consume the Whale Glue and activate the transparent mode of the Super Dragon Abyss Boat that allows one to enjoy the sea view.
In this mode, consuming Whale Glue would definitely allow him to battle for three hundred rounds without fatigue.
But all of this was ruined by this number two hundred and sixty-six.
"Four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, going three times. Congratulations to the gentleman in seat number one for winning this auction item."
Turning back and hearing that he only bought these three portions of Whale Glue for four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, Hai Qing is furious and says to a Soul Emperor beside him, "Keep a close eye on them."
After Lingxu leaves the auction hall, he goes straight to the backstage to settle the payment.
"Congratulations, sir. You have won two auction items in total, for a total of five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"May I ask if you are using a Gold Soul Coin Card, or...?"
Generally speaking, for transactions of this size, most people use Gold Soul Coin Cards.
But just as the attendant finishes speaking, Lingxu moves his soul power and takes a large chest of Gold Soul Coins directly from his Soul Guidance Device.
"There is just over five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins in here; the extra can be considered a tip for you all," Lingxu says.
"Thank you, sir. However, please wait a moment; this requires a specialist to count."
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins is not a small amount; they cannot let someone go just for the sake of greed for a tip. Whether the amount of Gold Soul Coins is correct is one thing, but more importantly, it is the authenticity of these Gold Soul Coins.
It is not the first or second time that real Gold Soul Coins have been mixed with fake ones, so verifying their authenticity is something everyone must do.
"No problem!" Lingxu nods, saying he can understand this point.
"Sir, ladies, please go to the rest area to wait. The number of Gold Soul Coins is not small and may take some time. Fruit, pastries, and tea have already been prepared for you over there."
It must be said that the service at this auction is very thoughtful, the environment in the rest area is also quite good, and one can directly see the staff counting in front.
It is equivalent to counting under one's nose, which puts the person paying at ease.
This auction has about fifty items, and these people basically all used Gold Soul Coin Cards; even those who gave Gold Soul Coins only gave a few thousand, so they were finished counting very quickly.
That Hai Qing also used a Gold Soul Coin Card, and upon arriving at this transaction hall, he did not forget to look down on Lingxu.
As for this Hai Qing, Lingxu ignores him, enjoying the fruit and snacks of the coastal region with Liu'er and Yun'er.
These things cannot be eaten on the mainland, and they have a unique flavor.
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, almost every Gold Soul Coin auction house must carefully verify.
A dozen or so staff members took a full hour just to finish the inspection.
"Sir, you brought out a total of 501,235 Gold Soul Coins. Should I pack up this extra 1,000 Gold Soul Coins for you, or?" the staff member asked tentatively.
Lingxu smiled and said, "I already said just now, it's a reward for you all. Counting for an hour, it was hard on you."
"Thank you, thank you, sir, miss."
"Your two auction items have already been prepared for you."
"Additionally, I must remind you, sir, that you offended Hai Qing at the auction today. Here in Hanhai City, he has a Level 89 city lord for a father and is used to being arrogant and domineering. You must be extra careful after you go out, especially tonight."
The staff member spoke very softly; the reward Lingxu gave was too generous, and this was the only way to repay it.
"Thank you, I understand. Go get my auction items," Lingxu said.
Before long, the two auction items were delivered to Lingxu. After checking them, there were no issues with either item.
He then handed the two necklaces to Luo Yun'er and Luo Liu'er, saying, "Sister Yun'er, Sister Liu'er, I haven't given you a gift in so many years; these necklaces are just right."
"They are very suitable for girls, and they have ten cubic meters of space, which makes up for the lack of space in your Soul Guidance Devices and allows you to carry more things."
"Young Master!"
"Are these really for us?"
Luo Liu'er and Luo Yun'er were very moved. In fact, when Lingxu bid on these two necklaces, he had an intuition that they were meant for them.
When they were truly placed in front of them, it was a different feeling altogether.
Lingxu nodded and said, "Sister Yun'er, Sister Liu'er, you both watched me grow up. When have I ever told a lie? We are all family, so don't be polite. Put them on now."
He picked up a necklace in each hand and handed them to Luo Yun'er and Luo Liu'er.
In fact, Lingxu had already given them enough things.
The two women were not the type to be coy, so they accepted them gladly.
"Thank you, Young Master." The two women put on the necklaces, all their gratitude unspoken.
As for Lingxu, if there was a need, they would absolutely be willing to sacrifice themselves at any time.
Lingxu put the Super Dragon Abyss Boat into the System Space; it was already late at night when he left the auction house.
Just as he had left, Lingxu discovered that someone was following him.
Even Lingxu had not expected that after walking only a few hundred meters, while still on the main street, Hai Qing and his group of five would block their path.
And at this moment, Hai Qing truly saw Luo Yun'er and Luo Liu'er beside Lingxu clearly.
At this time, those sea-blue crystal necklaces were also worn around their necks.
Whether it was their looks, temperament, or figures, they completely crushed the two women beside Hai Qing in every aspect.
After looking at Luo Liu'er and Luo Yun'er, Hai Qing immediately felt that the people beside him were not worth looking at.
He even felt that the two women beside him no longer interested him.
"You two go back first, I have something to take care of here," Hai Qing said to the two women beside him. In fact, they knew what kind of person Hai Qing was—he loved a new one every time he saw one.
They hadn't even been with him for seven days before he was already done with them.
Other people have the seven-year itch, but Hai Qing had the seven-day itch.
After the two women left, Hai Qing brought two Soul Emperors to a position about two meters in front of Lingxu and said, "Kid, your hair hasn't even grown in yet, and you dare to challenge me, Master Qing?"
Seeing the approximate ages of Lingxu and the two women, Hai Qing immediately felt relieved.
The two women were in their early twenties, and the boy looked to be about sixteen or seventeen.
They were simply too young, and they were outsiders to boot.
So what if they were geniuses? At most, they were only Soul Ancestors.
But so what if they were Soul Ancestors? Even if they were Soul Kings, he wouldn't be afraid, as he had brought two Soul Emperors with him.
One was Level 67, and the other was Level 63; they could easily handle Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings.
But in that split second, Lingxu cast a cold glance that almost instantly made Hai Qing panic, his body trembling as he took a step back.
"You..."
"You two, go get him, hack this kid to pieces, and grab the items. Remember, you cannot hurt these two beauties," Hai Qing said with a look of greed, as if he had already imagined the scene of killing for treasure and taking the women for himself.
Although it wasn't the first time he had done this, this time was the most exciting and anticipated.
Seeing this, Lingxu did not immediately make a move.
He watched the two people about to attack.
Rapidly, he unleashed a powerful Mental Power shock. This time, Lingxu was not facing two people, but three.
A powerful Mental Power shock was not something these three could withstand.
Under the Mental Power shock, the three were instantly stunned in place.
Lingxu moved with extreme speed, took Hai Qing's Soul Guidance Device, and then used the System Space to take everything inside; it was completed in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go." The three remained standing in place, watching helplessly as Lingxu and his companions left.
Only when Lingxu left, the eyes of these three were not right—hollow and lusterless.
Lingxu had used a Mental Power shock, turning these three into fools in almost an instant.
He used his Mental Power very well; he did not make the three faint on the spot, but directly impacted their souls, turning them into idiots.
Even after Lingxu left, many observers did not know what had happened.
After all, no one had dared to provoke these three voluntarily.
They left the three to act out on the street; no one helped, and there were only those watching the fun and the joke from afar.
Having done this, Lingxu knew that there would be some trouble in Hanhai City next.
However, these troubles were minor matters; soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.
After returning that night, Lingxu just notified everyone to be careful and then returned to his own room.
As a playboy of Hanhai City, there were quite a few things inside his Soul Guidance Device, but what surprised Lingxu was that, damn it, most of them were lewd and evil items.
Of course, there were also some good things.
For instance, the Whale Glue just bought from the auction.
Besides that, there was actually a Dragon Abyss Boat inside his Soul Guidance Device, though it was the lowest-grade type, likely the same specification as the one Tang San used.
The biggest harvest inside was a Sea Map; this Sea Map was very complete and ancient, and judging by its make, it had at least several hundred years of history.
On this Sea Map, it was actually marked with the location of Lingxu's destination for this trip, Sea God Island.
Originally, Lingxu was completely in the dark about going to Sea God Island, knowing only that he could just head west.
Or he could ask others before setting sail, or perhaps go buy a nautical chart tomorrow.
However, the location of Sea God Island is special, so even if he bought a sea map, it might not have the general location of Sea God Island, yet this sea map stated it very clearly.
Not only that, it also explained where there were dangers.
For example, places where Demon Orcas frequently appear, and it even marked where there might be super Sea Soul Masters, warning not to go there.
This sea map, for Lingxu, might be even more useful than this Whale Glue.
"This playboy, it seems he wasn't entirely useless."
Late at night, Hanhai City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Who on earth is it? To actually do this to my son!"
"Qing'er, what has happened to you?"
Inside a magnificent castle, a woman who looked to be fifty or sixty years old held Hai Qing and wept.
Beside her was an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy, who was the City Lord of Hanhai City, Hai Dafu.
He wore a grave expression, looking at Hai Qing before him with immense heartache.
"Qing'er and the others suffered a mental attack, damaging their souls. It didn't just hurt Qing'er, but also two guards at the Soul Emperor level. This person is not simple; without Mental Power at the Spirit Douluo level, I fear it would be very difficult to accomplish this," Hai Dafu analyzed carefully.
"Dafu, I didn't have Qing'er until I was fifty. We didn't restrain him when he was spoiled, but they cannot treat our child like this. We must take revenge, and we must take it immediately." The woman wiped her tears, revealing a look of ruthlessness.
"I have already ordered people to investigate, and there will be results shortly."
"Hmph..."
Hai Dafu did not say much, merely keeping it hidden in his heart without revealing too much.
Whoever touched his son must die!
