Lan Xuanyu was almost certain that, at least in the records concerning ancient soul beasts he had read, there was no such existence.
Qian Lei said, “No, I’m not talking about it. It’s the storage coin and the bag. Think about it, these two things can store a living creature for at least tens of thousands of years, if not more. What a wonderful treasure this is! How much do you say it is worth?”
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up, yes ! Qian Lei was right. One had to know that today, although things could be kept fresh inside modern soul storage devices, but none was able to store living creatures. In other words, this ancient soul device was even more advanced than modern one, or more precious. If its existence could allow modern storage soul devices to evolve, then the value of this thing could not be measured by money.
“Fatty, I haven’t never admitted to anyone, but today I have to bow to your mind when it comes to business. It makes sense! But what about this little beast?” Lan Xuanyu said.
Qian Lei said: “Get it out first. Then we have to find a way to figure out what it is. Shrek Academy’s history can be traced back to 30,000 years ago. Maybe there are some related records. Let’s go to the teacher tomorrow.”
Lan Xuanyu waved his hand and said, “Don’t get it out first. It has lived for so many years, and it might be so only by relying on these two treasures. If it was out, it would die. Then how are we going to prove that these two treasures can store living creatures for so many years? Put it back as it is. Then we’ll find a teacher to verify this tomorrow. Let’s go see your teacher directly. The Dean should be knowledgeable.”
“Yes, yes, as thoughtful as ever. Let’s go there early tomorrow morning, and skip class.” Qian Lei was really impatient now.
Today’s auction was quite exciting for them, there were so many Heaven and Earth treasures effective for cultivation. But they had limited money, so they didn’t dare to rashly buy. But if they had enough federal coins as support, they could every day a Heaven and Earth treasure grade fruit to nourish their body, just by imagining it they could see how quick their cultivation would be !
After re-sealing the bag and putting it back in the storage coin, Qian Lei carefully put it back into his chest pocket, then bade farewell to Lan Xuanyu and went back to the dormitory by himself. But he felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight, as he was really too excited.
Sending Qian Lei away, Lan Xuanyu also felt happy for him. Everyone had different opportunities. Qian Lei missed the one with the emblems they earned in the Douluo World, but he had picked up a big treasure in the auction house. Who could say this was fate ?
He was about to return to his meditation room to cultivate. Suddenly, Lan Xuanyu felt that there was something he hadn’t done yet, so he subconsciously stopped and looked at the table unconsciously.
The black box was lying peacefully on the table. The box seemed completely isolated its content from the outside world. Lan Xuanyu did not feel any palpitations as in the auction room.
The gemstone, the rainbow-colored tear-shaped gemstone. The one that had caused his bloodline to thirst in an unprecedented fashion.
Lan Xuanyu slowly picked up the box, his mind in turmoil for a while, what exactly was this ? Why did it make his emotions fluctuate so dramatically? After opening it and taking a look, could it bring some pleasant surprises ?

When Dong Qianqiu returned to her dormitory, she went directly into the meditation room.
Closing the door, she walked staggeringly to the center and sat cross-legged. After bathing in the meditation room’s life aura, she felt a little better.
There seemed to be hundreds of small hammers striking in her head, and various memory fragments kept rushing out, along with that was her Martial Soul, behind, a dark blue shadow was faintly discernible. Amist that dark blue color, a thick white halo was surging.
“Huh, huh...” After taking a few deep breaths, Dong Qianqiu barely managed to sit still, but the surrounding air began to drop in an uncontrolled temperature, adding a layer of hoarfrost in the meditation room.
A faint blue halo rushed out from her body, like a cold wave sweeping outwards. The life energy in the meditation room was almost instantly shrouded by the cold waves.
Dong Qianqiu showed pain on her face. She originally wanted to reduce her headache through meditation, but at this moment, the headache suddenly intensified to the extreme, making her feel as if her spirit was about to break down.
The scenes from the memory fragments that appeared in her mind before suddenly became clearer and more complete.
That memory made her unconscious body tremble slightly, and a familiar figure, as well as scenes that made her incomparably grieve, constantly assaulted her mind.
No..., no..., no!
Mom..., Dad...
Sorrowful cries sounded in the bottom of her heart, and Dong Qianqiu’s beautiful dark blue long hair fluttered, and in an instant her skin became even more crystal clear, white mist swelled out, making her whole body seem like an ice sculpture.
Her soul power fluctuated extremely unsteadily, and dense soul power aura flew around in the air. Behind her, a huge illusory figure slowly emerged.
The first thing that appeared was a pair of dark blue eyes, the huge dark blue eyes were full of coldness and despair. If Lan Xuanyu were here, he would definitely recognize that these dark blue eyes were actually very similar to the Deep Blue Gaze they used when unleashing together their Martial Soul Fusion skill, but there was more emotion in it, and also a touch of despair.
Behind these dark blue eyes was a huge body that almost filled the entire meditation room. It was a huge shark, and the dark blue eyes were its eyes. Its huge white jade body spread throughout the meditation room. With its appearance, Dong Qianqiu’s body suddenly began to become illusory.
“No, no. I want to be a human, I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to. My enemy is dead, I no longer have an object of revenge, I don’t want to, I don’t want to live in pain and struggle, I don’t want to live aimlessly in this world. I want to be a human.”
A strong conviction suddenly rushed out from the deepest part of the soul, and Dong Qianqiu’s violently trembling body stiffened, and the frost mist on her body stopped spreading at this instant. Her body became clear again, and the huge white shark phantom behind her gradually became illusory, with only its pair of dark blue eyes remaining solid.
After coming to the human world, what do I want to do ?
No more hatred, only kindness and affection !
A golden figure was looming in her vague sight. It was him who helped her kill the enemy and gave her a chance to live a new life.
And why is he so similar to that person? Is he his descendant?
“BOOM!”
The ice mist all over her body suddenly burst, turning into a strong white halo and expanding outwards. The great white shark phantom behind her disappeared instantly, only the pair of huge deep blue eyes was still clearly visible.
A smear of dark blue was released from Dong Qianqiu’s body and condensed behind her. The dark blue eyes that were originally behind her gradually became smaller, and finally, merged with the dark blue halo, and turned into a phantom that was exactly like her but standing behind her, like her shadow, quietly suspending there.
Dong Qianqiu murmured, “There is not only ice, but also a demonic soul. Has my Martial Soul finally awakened? Because I have found my real reason and purpose of entering the human world? Can, can I really become a human being ? I’m here to repay my favor.”
The dark blue figure behind slowly stepped forward and quietly blended into her body. At this moment, Dong Qianqiu’s aura suddenly soared, and a strong dark blue halo rose like a strong blaze with her body as the center. One after the other, soul rings also emerged from her feet.
Purple, purple, purple, black!
Yes, at this moment, her fourth soul ring finally appeared. Rank forty, breakthrough! From this moment onwards, she was a four-ring Soul Ancestor. The inky black soul ring quietly materialized around her body.
