"Hmm? What have you been researching this time, kid?"
Broad Hill instantly put down his wine cup, rushing to Han Li's side with a whoosh, asking anxiously.
After Xiu'er's incident, the Grand Elder had specifically instructed him to keep an eye on this kid, telling him to focus on cultivation and not to create any more strange things. Aside from the potential dangers, it was crucial not to waste his precious training time.
Well, Broad Hill didn't say it out loud, but Han Li would have definitely scorned Qian Daoliu a bit. You old man understand the principle, but regardless of the reason, agreeing to let Qian Renxue go undercover during her prime was outrageous.
Seeing that the gazes of the two big shots were on him, Han Li chuckled, handing over the paper in his hand and leisurely finding a stool to sit down, waiting for them to finish reading.
However, instead of questions, he received two strange stares.
Hmm? Han Li frowned. Was there something wrong with the data on the paper? Impossible, he had checked it, there should be no problems.
Then he saw Broad Hill open his mouth with a look of pity: "Little Li, I know you're mature, but you're still young, and it's normal if you can't get it up~ o( ̄▽ ̄)o. The water is deep here, you can't handle it. I'll accept this record of yours with a smile and give it to your Golden Crocodile Martial Uncle, he needs it."
"Well, you'll probably understand when you're a couple of years older. It's okay, it's not the time for you to be thinking about this yet." Broad Hill comforted him, while the paper was directly sent to his storage space.
Hearing this, Han Li didn't need to guess, his face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth, looking at the old man who only looked young on the outside: "Thank you for your concern, you're such a good teacher."
"You're welcome, it's my negligence. I should have arranged for someone to educate you about these things. You can go back now, I'll arrange it for you later." Broad Hill waved his hand dismissively, saying cheerfully.
"No need, and give me back the paper. I'll talk to Martial Uncle, you old man should go wherever it's cool and stay there." Han Li was furious, this time he was really breaking down a bit. The data and records he spent so much time on were being treated like he was selling fake medicine. If he could beat Broad Hill, he would have punched him in the knee.
Seeing that he was really angry, Broad Hill realized that he might have misunderstood Han Li, and quickly took out the paper from his belt, skipping the beginning and looking directly at the end.
He saw a special note on it: "Therefore, based on the above data and records, I preliminarily believe that Whale Oil, in addition to being an aphrodisiac, can also enhance the physical strength of Soul Masters to a certain extent, especially in the weak stage. If enough or high-quality Whale Oil is taken, it may be possible to break the maximum age limit for Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings."
"Note: This is applicable to the first four Soul Rings. When the Martial Soul is not awakened, the effects of taking a large amount are unknown and need to be tested; for the fourth Soul Ring, mental power must meet the standard to obtain a ten thousand year Soul Ring. The specific situation needs to be studied according to individual circumstances."
After reading it, Broad Hill's mind went blank. If this, this speculation is true, the low-level Soul Master world is really going to change.
He blankly handed the paper to Azure Luan , who also looked directly at the end. After reading it, even the always calm Azure Luan couldn't help but stand up, looking at Han Li and then at the contents of the paper, opening and closing his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a while, the two sat back on their stools, but neither of them touched the wine glasses on the table. They exchanged glances, signaling each other to speak, and in the end, Broad Hill lost.
"Good disciple, is this speculation of yours true?"
Broad Hill leaned close to Han Li with a smile, asking softly, afraid of scaring his disciple.
"It's fake, it's for aphrodisiac purposes." Han Li replied expressionlessly.
"So, that means it's true." Broad Hill straightened his back and muttered: "No, I have to notify the Grand Elder quickly, this news can't be spread casually."
"Teacher, have you forgotten that this is my discovery?" Han Li said quietly from the side.
Hearing his words, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Broad Hill's face. He was anxious and almost forgot that this was his disciple's credit.
"Haha, how could I? I'm just saying, the way to handle it is of course up to you." Broad Hill laughed.
"Then Little Li, what are you going to do?" Azure Luan asked from the side.
Han Li's expression softened slightly. As expected, he still had to rely on his Martial Uncle, his teacher was really unreliable.
Han Li sat up straight and said seriously: "Martial Uncle, this is just my speculation, of course, I am more than ninety percent sure that it is absolutely feasible. Submitting it is a must, but before that, we must first test it, and secondly, I need to do some things first before submitting it. Of course, I guarantee that it will not harm the interests of the Spirit Hall."
Azure Luan thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "So, you plan to collect a batch of Whale Oil in advance after testing and confirming that it is useful?"
Han Li nodded, confirming his statement.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Broad Hill asked in confusion: "Little Li, why do you want to collect a batch in advance? Even if it's useful, you and Xiu'er won't need that much."
Han Li glared at his teacher: "Teacher, I want money, a lot of money. I like research, but research costs money, and I don't lack it now, but I can't always ask you for money, right? I'm planning for the future."
"When the time comes, most of the Whale Oil I collect will still be sold to the Spirit Hall, but I'll just charge a handling fee. You can't expect me to contribute this news for nothing, right? Well, to put it another way, even if there's a reward after submitting it, what do you think I can get? I don't care about fame, Soul Bones are limited in number, and high-quality ones are even rarer. In the end, won't I just be rewarded with Gold Soul Coins? It's better for me to earn it myself."
After Han Li finished speaking, Broad Hill and Azure Luan nodded in agreement. They had Soul Bones, if not complete, at most missing one or two, and they really didn't need Gold Soul Coins now, so they hadn't considered this issue at all. Thinking about it this way, it seemed to make sense.
"So you came to us to talk about this?" Broad Hill finally realized his disciple's intention.
"Yes, and to let Teacher and Martial Uncle earn some money too. Your followers' families probably aren't that rich either. It's best for everyone to make money together, isn't it? Besides, I'm still young, and I have to collect Whale Oil through their channels." Han Li said eloquently.
Hearing this, Broad Hill and Azure Luan exchanged glances, and they were also a little eager to try. They couldn't let others contribute for nothing. Their followers' families had been doing just so-so these years, especially after Bibi Dong came to power. Now that there was such an opportunity, why not?
