This world is good, this world is bad; this world is simple and crude.
Lin Xiao knew that even in his previous life, the gap between people was incredibly vast. Even people living in the same era experienced such disparities in their quality of life and lifestyles that it seemed as though hundreds of years separated them.
Some people traveled the world, having planned their lives early on, their dreams reaching for the stars and the sea; others wished only to eat KFC once in their lives, or to own a pair of white sneakers.
And then there was power, the most formidable barrier.
However, unlike his previous life, in a world of fantasy, the machinations of power seemed so pale and weak in the face of absolute strength.
The weak adapt to the environment, the strong set the rules.
This was the charm of a fantasy world.
No matter how much injustice, how much lack of freedom, I have the strength to break through the heavens!
Lin Xiao clenched his fist, feeling his own power. He suddenly felt a fondness for the Douluo Continent. This world was so good. In his previous life, no matter how hard he tried, he would always be a fish in a pond, or at best, a big fish in a river or lake.
But here, he could "transform into a dragon when the wind and clouds meet," truly free and unrestrained, doing as he pleased! Provided he was strong enough!
Fists don't speak, but they can silence unwanted words and allow desired words to be spoken boldly! Dugu Bo watched Lin Xiao fall into contemplation.
He didn't say much, letting him figure things out on his own.
In his opinion, Lin Xiao was precocious, with his own thoughts and ideas, but in some ways, he was very naive, seemingly subconsciously believing in the idea of equality for all. He didn't know who had brainwashed him, but his understanding of the world was inadequate.
In the end, he hadn't seen enough! In a few years, he would take him to kill some people, and when he saw how fragile life was, he would naturally mature.
"A true man should act with pleasure and settle grievances, not looking before and after, acting like a child!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"In my life, I curse what I can't stand, and kill what I want to kill. I never feign civility. At worst, it's just death! It's better to die happily than to live in frustration!"
"Also, those corrupt nobles indulge in pleasure, and even though they have good conditions, they ultimately fail to become powerful Soul Masters, and they are nothing more than fish meat in front of the strong."
"Lin Xiao, take this as a warning!"
Dugu Bo was only telling Lin Xiao the true, dark side of the world, not telling Lin Xiao to imitate those noble lords who bullied men and women and acted tyrannically in the market. Living like that was like a parasite, which Dugu Bo looked down on, and Ye Qingxian deeply hated.
Lin Xiao nodded.
His desire for power grew stronger.
Fortunately, from the beginning, he had been on the right path, whether it was Evil Fire Body Tempering or focusing on becoming stronger, Lin Xiao was moving forward according to his own heart.
This was a great fortune.
He hoped that in the future, this fortune would continue to accompany him.
Heaven helps those who help themselves!
Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao didn't speak anymore. A few words were enough. Too much talk turns good words into nonsense. In the end, action is greater than slogans.
The two waited in the VIP box for a while.
The Heaven Dou Auction officially began.
The first item to be auctioned was a Storage Soul Tool.
It looked like a brocade pouch and could be worn on the waist. A few people bid sporadically, and it was finally sold for 51,000 Gold Soul Coins.
The second item was a huge egg.
This was a precious Soul Beast egg. The species was a Cloud Stepping Colt, a very fast herbivorous Soul Beast, much stronger than those horses with Soul Beast bloodlines.
After hatching, it would grow up with a child and be slowly tamed, and it could even be a pet?
Soul Beasts live long, one pet passes on through three generations, people leave but the pet remains.
It was finally sold for 60,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Some other auction items came out one after another.
But none of them interested Lin Xiao.
After the novelty wore off, the auction was actually a bit boring.
Until the appearance of one auction item made Lin Xiao's spirit perk up.
"Next up is the main event. This is whale gel acquired by the chamber of commerce along the coast. It's about ten thousand years old, far more valuable than the thousand-year and hundred-year whale gel on the market, and of extremely high quality!"
"As for its effects... men understand! After taking it, fighting seven battles in one night is no problem. It can also subtly strengthen the yang, and most importantly, it has almost no side effects!"
"Those interested can participate in the auction!"
"Starting price, 80,000 Gold Soul Coins!"
Whale Gel!
Lin Xiao slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this?
Whale gel is an absolute treasure, a special substance produced in the brains of whale-type Soul Beasts. It is extremely yang and firm. After taking it, it can enhance physical fitness, allowing Soul Masters to choose higher-year Soul Rings when absorbing them.
In the original work, Wang Dong'er took whale gel from a young age and was able to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring at level 20.
However, the effect of whale gel in improving physical fitness is not yet widely known. People generally believe that it is a special aphrodisiac "sexual aid."
It can be used as both an aphrodisiac and Viagra.
Some noble lords are old and weak, and they especially favor whale gel, especially high-quality whale gel, which can rejuvenate them and briefly bring them a second spring.
As for why it is said to be brief, it can only be said that no matter how good the tonic is, it cannot withstand excessive debauchery. Moreover, indulging in lust will inevitably ruin cultivation, and if cultivation is ruined, it will be difficult to enhance physical fitness, eventually forming a vicious cycle.
In general, whale gel has always been popular.
But its true value has not yet been discovered. Otherwise, the starting price of 80,000 for this ten-thousand-year whale gel would probably rise to more than 800,000.
No, treasures that can increase the age of absorbed Soul Rings, no one would sell them at all! If they were sold, they would be at sky-high prices! "Senior Dugu, this whale gel must be auctioned off!"
Lin Xiao said to Dugu Bo with a serious face.
Dugu Bo was dumbfounded.
He had just told Lin Xiao not to learn from those noble lords and be debauched, but as soon as he saw something that invigorated the yang and acted as an aphrodisiac, this kid's eyes lit up? "Who are you buying this whale gel for?"
"Of course, I'm using it myself!"
Lin Xiao frowned and added, "Of course, there's also Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling. Aunt Ye can also use it!"
Dugu Bo prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced.
What hadn't he seen? What storms hadn't he experienced?
But today, Lin Xiao opened his eyes!
His mind was buzzing.
This brat actually wants to use it for himself, Yan Yan, and Ling Ling? And the Ye Family Head? Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed, looking at Lin Xiao in disbelief, wondering if this kid had been possessed or if he was really just a pervert.
The problem is, he's saying it in front of him, isn't he afraid of being pulled up by his belt and whipped?
And he's saying it so confidently, saying he's giving it to Yan Yan! Lin Xiao noticed the unbelievable look in Dugu Bo's eyes.
Suddenly realizing something.
He was about to explain, but the host was already shouting "Three, two, one."
"I'll explain to you later, Senior Dugu!"
Without thinking too much, Lin Xiao pressed the bid button.
"Black Gold VIP Box, adding 1,000 Gold Soul Coins!"
"181,000 Gold Soul Coins, going once!"
"..."
Because there are only a handful of people in the entire Heaven Dou City who are qualified to stay in the Black Gold VIP Box, all of them are top dignitaries, so naturally no one dares to compete with them.
In the end, Lin Xiao won the ten-thousand-year whale gel.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but was startled by Dugu Bo's faint gaze, and said unhappily:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If you knew the effect of this whale gel, you would definitely beg me to give it to your granddaughter!"
Dugu Bo: ???
