"Soul Fusion Technique? Of course I know. What's wrong?"
Dugu Yan was stunned, not knowing why Ye Lingling suddenly brought up this.
But soon, Dugu Yan's eyes widened, she looked at the direction Qing Mu left, then looked at Ye Lingling, and said in shock: "Lingling, you don't mean to say..."
Ye Lingling nodded and said, "It's just as you think. I suspect that the person just now and I may have a martial soul fusion technique."
The inexplicable attraction coming from Qing Mu, coupled with the sense of closeness from her martial soul, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, forced Ye Lingling to think in the direction of martial soul fusion techniques.
After all, apart from the martial soul fusion technique, what other skills can cause the martial soul to undergo such a degree of change?
Even the treasures her mother mentioned could not have the same appeal as hers. That was a phenomenon that could only occur when one could make up for the defects of a martial soul.
Although those treasures can allow some more common martial souls to evolve, her Nine-Hearted Begonia is already the top-level auxiliary martial soul. There is even a restriction that there can only be two Nine-Hearted Begonia soul masters in the world at the same time.
This restriction is even more outrageous than the seven rings of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, and it directly prevents the Nine-Hearted Begonia from growing and developing.
In comparison, although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower cannot break through the Soul Douluo, it still does not affect their becoming a top force. They are known as the top three sects, which is in sharp contrast to the decline of the Nine-Hearted Begonia.
"Hiss~ It's actually true."
After hearing Ye Lingling's answer, Dugu Yan couldn't help but take a breath.
The martial soul fusion skill, this is definitely something that no soul master can refuse, and its attraction to soul masters is even greater than the ten thousand year soul bone.
After a moment of stunned silence, Dugu Yan came to her senses and hurriedly pulled Ye Lingling, saying anxiously, "If that's the case, why don't you chase him? If you let him get away, it will be almost impossible for you to find someone who can perform a martial arts fusion technique with you."
But Ye Lingling was a little hesitant, "But I'm not familiar with him..."
"stop!"
Before Ye Lingling could finish her words, she was interrupted by Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan patted his forehead and looked at Ye Lingling speechlessly, "Lingling, are you crazy? That's a martial soul fusion technique!
If I have the ability to fuse my martial soul with someone else, I will tie him up and take him back even if I have to!
As for feelings, they can be cultivated later. The most urgent thing is not to let him run away, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find someone with him later.
And if something unexpected happens during this period, you will definitely regret it."
"this..."
After Dugu Yan's persuasion, Ye Lingling no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Yanyan, you are right. Now is not the time to think about these things."
Soul fusion skills are something you can only encounter by chance. No matter what the other person's character is like, you should at least get to know them first.
If she missed out because of her hesitation now, Ye Lingling felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
"That's the right thing to do."
Seeing that Ye Lingling no longer hesitated, Dugu Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Dugu Yan then came up behind Ye Lingling, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, even if Qingmu doesn't want to, I will help you catch him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Lingling's face turned red and some white steam came out of her head.
...
On the other side, Qing Mu came to a stall and looked at a palm-sized black crystal on the stall.
This black crystal was casually placed in a corner by the stall owner. It was not only dull but also had an uneven surface, making it look quite shabby. I'm afraid no one would want it even if it was given away for free.
"Boss, how much is this black crystal?"
Qing Mu picked up the black crystal that was bigger than his palm and shook it, then asked the boss with pretended curiosity.
The owner of this stall is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, also a soul master. As for his level, due to the special mechanism of Douluo Continent, Qing Mu could not tell without the other party taking action.
But sometimes, not seeing it is a message in itself.
With Qing Mu's current level, no soul master can hide in front of him. Even because his mental power is stronger than that of ordinary people, even a great soul master can see it.
But he was unable to see through the level of the stall owner in front of him, which was enough to show that the stall owner was at least a strong man above the Soul Master level.
The stall owner took a look at Qing Mu and found that although Qing Mu's clothes were not luxurious, the soul power fluctuations on his body had reached the level of a great soul master. He was immediately delighted.
Whose genius is this? It's just the right time to trick... No, it's just the right time to teach someone about the dangers of the other person's world.
The stall owner quickly said, "Sir, this isn't some cheap black crystal, but extremely rare, ten-thousand-year-old whale glue. Just take a fingernail, and it'll keep you full and energetic all night long."
While saying this, the stall owner winked at Qing Mu, with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."
Children in Douluo Continent are generally precocious, especially soul masters. There are many who have experienced the world in their teens. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are ready-made examples.
"Ten thousand year old whale glue?"
After hearing this, Qing Mu's face became a little tense, and he immediately retorted, "Do you think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young? Whale glue is produced in the brains of whale spirit beasts in the deep sea. Hunting whale glue that's ten thousand years old requires at least a Soul Sage to lead a team. Even then, in the dangerous sea, there is no guarantee of returning safely.
Moreover, whale glue is more than enough at the thousand-year level. Unless someone happens to need the soul ring of a ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast, who would take the risk to hunt a ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast?
If it were such a rare item, why would you set up a stall here and even casually place it in a corner? You really don't even think before you tell a lie!"
After a pause, Qing Mu continued, "And isn't whale glue supposed to be golden yellow? Yours is so black. Even if it's really whale glue, it's probably some expired defective product. I'm afraid there will be some side effects if you eat it."
The stall owner felt a little embarrassed when Qing Mu directly exposed his lie.
However, he was an old hand at setting up stalls after all, and it wasn't the first time he encountered something like this. So after a moment of embarrassment, he immediately said, "It seems that you know a lot about whale glue, so I won't hide it. This is a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue. As for why it's black instead of golden yellow, it's because it's weathered.
However, although it has been weathered, it does not have any side effects. The only consequence is that its effect has been weakened a lot, but it is still much stronger than ordinary century-old whale glue.
If you're interested, you can name a price, and I'll sell it to you if it's suitable."
