Chapter 37 Angel Investor? Lu Li's Gift [Please Read Further]
"Brother Lu Li, I'm very interested in rare and precious herbs. Do you know much about the Ice Spirit Fruit and the Crimson Flame Fruit?"
"I want to buy them to improve myself."
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, trying to suppress his disgust for Old Tang, and came back to his senses.
He ultimately couldn't obtain everything he needed by asking for help from the people in front of him, just as Old Tang had suggested.
Brother Lu Li has helped him enough.
All he needed to get from the other party was information and data about the spirit.
"Okay, Wu Lin."
"These two rare and precious materials are quite good for nourishing Soul Masters, improving and enhancing their physical qualities."
"If you need, I can keep an eye out for auctions of these two items in Donghai City later."
Upon hearing this, a look of solemnity flashed in Lu Li's eyes. The rare and precious materials that had unlocked the first seal of the Golden Dragon King clearly also told him that Tang San's consciousness had already been awakened.
This is truly a turbulent time.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Brother Lu Li."
"By the way, I haven't paid you back for the Azure Vine Soul Spirit you gave me before. This is 200,000 that I've saved up through forging over the past two years with your guidance. Please accept it, Brother Lu Li."
With a smile on his face, Tang Wulin took out a card from his soul tool and respectfully handed it to the other party.
"Wu Lin, you know that was a gift from me, a way to help you become a Soul Master."
Lu Li was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head. At that time, he only wanted to be an angel investor.
"Brother Lu Li may not be short of money, but I can't really refuse to give it to him. Besides, this amount isn't enough; I need to keep working hard—"
Tang Wulin shook his head with a serious expression.
The hundred-year soul spirit costs one million federal coins, which he is far from enough for. He can only pay it off slowly, and hopefully he can pay it off within three years.
"You can't refuse, otherwise I'll never have the face to show my face in front of you again."
Seemingly afraid of being rejected, he immediately adopted a serious expression, using his small stature to bully the powerful.
"
Lu Li smiled helplessly. What a clever kid, he's even come up with this excuse now. Could Wu Lin really be a little genius?
"Wu Lin, the soul spirit is priced at an internal rate as a member of the Spirit Pagoda, much cheaper than you think, so don't worry about it."
Lu Li smiled faintly.
"Take this money and buy other things. You'll need a lot of money for your future cultivation."
"Really?"
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up as he was drawn to the "internal price" mentioned by Lu Li. So, members of the Spirit Pagoda all have internal prices for their souls? It seems to be a truly approachable force.
"Yes, it's true."
Lu Li chuckled lightly, "Of course I was just kidding."
Silly child, a top-tier plant-type spirit like Azure Vine wouldn't be worth two million, let alone one million.
".——

"As expected, Brother Lu Li rejected me. I must earn more money in the future and pay it all back to Brother Lu Li."
Not long after, Tang Wulin was finally persuaded by Lu Li, and on the way back, he said with a firm expression.
Just as the other party said, I still need to spend money normally. If I really return this money to the other party, wouldn't I have to ask the other party to buy me spiritual fruits? That would be terrible!
"Hehe, Wu Lin is such a good kid."
Tang San smiled with satisfaction at Tang Wulin's performance. Apart from being unfilial, the child was still very much like him, at least his values were very upright.
Repay kindness with kindness, and know how to be grateful!
He has the same style he had back then!
However, if it were him, he would actually ask the person in front of him to pay for the rare and precious materials first, and then repay the favor later.
"This Lu Li really seems like an angel investor. He reminds me of my old nemesis from back in the day—no, I mean, the old poisoner?"
"Speaking of which, what was that old poison master's name again? I think it was Dugu—"
"Never mind, it's not important."
Meanwhile, after parting ways with Tang Wulin, Lu Li returned to the teaching building.
"Brother Lu Li, I cannot contact Wu Lin's parents."
"I haven't seen his physical condition before. Just like I told you before, he suddenly fainted, seemingly entering a special state of deep concentration, which is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve."
In the office, Wu Changkong seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, and slowly spoke.
"I also tried to contact Wu Lin's parents, but I couldn't get through on the phone either. Perhaps there are some special circumstances, which is beyond our control."
"As for Wu Lin himself, there is something wrong with him, but I can tell you that his parents are indeed ordinary people, ordinary people without martial spirits or cultivation."
Lu Li nodded.
""
In fact, it's more than just that something's not right. Tang Wulin is no longer a simple and naive little boy; he now has a huge threat lurking inside him.
"Is he really just an ordinary person?"
"To be honest, I'm even wondering if this child is even human. Ordinary people can't give birth to a little guy with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul and innate divine strength."
Wu Changkong nodded, his face thoughtful. This kind of child is simply not something a normal person could give birth to.
"Ordinary people —"
If only he were just an ordinary person.
Lu Li smiled and shook his head. Wu Lin's growth trajectory was arguably the most tragic in the Douluo series.
If he didn't have the identity of the son of the God-King, he would probably be much better off. He wouldn't have had his values collapse like in the later part of the original story, and he could even laugh off things like stealing missiles.
The phrase "son of Tang San" completely changed the other person's original growth. It is said that Huo Yuhao would risk his life to rush over if he saw his future self. Tang Wulin was no different.
"Brother Lu Li, there's one more thing."
At this moment, Wu Changkong looked at Lu Li again, a serious expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Li looked at him suspiciously.
"If you want to fight me again, like today, we can settle it privately."
"In front of the children—"
"I still don't want to give them such a weak image."
Wu Changkong coughed lightly, looked away, and muttered to himself.
he----
She is, after all, the children's assistant homeroom teacher.
"So it was because he cared about saving face."
Lu Li chuckled softly, understanding perfectly.
Look, even the skies over the East China Sea have their share of such days.
"How can you call it saving face?"
Wu Changkong quickly shook his head.
"Compared to all that, I'd rather know when you'll break through to the Soul Saint level."
Lu Li smiled and looked at him, then asked tentatively.
"It will happen."
Wu Changkong was taken aback, then nodded, but his words were full of uncertainty.
In cultivation, there is a difference between accepting and not accepting restrictions; of course, he was referring to whether or not one is subject to restrictions.
Just like last night, when he tried to break through to the Soul Saint realm again, his soul power did not increase at all, just like before.
It's not just a matter of his temperament; the hidden ailment within his body is also the reason for his stagnant cultivation. He needs top-tier natural treasures to absorb.
The idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh. Rare and precious materials are not ordinary things, and those that could be useful to him were even fewer; they weren't so easy to obtain.
He is no longer Shrek's top genius.
He was just an ordinary teacher at Donghai College.
Just as he was feeling down, a dense burst of ice-attribute energy suddenly appeared in the space, and a sky-blue rare treasure appeared in Lu Li's hand.
"Take it."
Lu Li silently handed it to him, smiling as she spoke.
"What... what is this?"
"Eternal Ice Grass?"
Wu Changkong looked surprised, his eyes widened, and he hesitated to speak. Of course, he was no stranger to top-tier natural treasures.
This is a rare and precious treasure that countless ice-attribute soul masters dream of—the top-tier Xuanbing Grass! In the soul master world, it's in high demand and short supply, and its benefits to ice-attribute soul masters are unparalleled!
Especially this one in front of me, judging from its energy level, has reached the level of ten thousand years, which is more than enough for me to absorb!
Lu Li————
Is this a gift for him?
