Douluo Continent: Life-Giving Blue Silver Grass, Immortal

Chapter 54 Excited Hands, Trembling Heart

After leaving Flanders' shop, Lin Hao took Dugu Yan's hand and hurriedly walked into a hotel.

At this moment, he was extremely excited. His palm, which was holding Dugu Yan's hand, was covered with a layer of Han Shuo.

Even he himself didn't realize that this was how he first took Dugu Yan's hand.

Dugu Yan was usually quiet and well-behaved, but when Lin Hao got serious, she became even more obedient and quiet. Her face flushed slightly, and she shyly lowered her head as she followed Lin Hao into the hotel.

Lin Hao quickly booked a room, pulled Dugu Yan inside, and then quickly drew all the curtains around the room.

For a fleeting moment, Dugu Yan had a wicked thought. She wondered if Lin Hao was about to unleash his beastly desires and push her down and grope her?

Because she knew Lin Hao's character well, she rejected any despicable thoughts.

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Lin Hao, I've never seen you so excited on this trip. Tell me, what's so special about the things you bought?"

Thanks to Lin Hao, Dugu Yan has already enjoyed the related "benefits," namely whale glue and ambergris.

Dugu Bo has already gone on a journey.

He called it a tour, but in reality, he went there himself to collect whale glue and ambergris.

Occasionally, he would give Lin Hao a few pieces of ambergris. The quality of these pieces was generally low.

Lin Hao first took out a crystal. "The most precious crystal isn't amethyst, but rutilated quartz. A crystal that can produce rutilated quartz is called rutilated quartz. The finest rutilated quartz is called slab quartz. And the crystal I have here is slab quartz!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao clenched his fist, channeled his soul power into it, and slammed his fist into the crystal.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted, as if a firework had been set off on the spot.

"Come!"

Lin Hao swept his palm towards the crystal void, and a pulse of suction was formed, causing countless golden beads to fly into Lin Hao's hand.

Dugu Yan held a piece of rutilated quartz in her hand and asked, "What are they used for?"

Lin Hao infused his soul power into the golden hair. The golden bead began to wriggle and grow longer, and soon it became a golden needle thinner than a hair.

"call out!"

With a wave of Lin Hao's hand, the golden hair shot into the sofa, shattering the sofa cover with a loud bang. When Dugu Yan approached, she discovered that the sofa had a hole the size of a marble.

As Lin Hao walked to Dugu Yan's side and took out the golden hair that had transformed back into a golden bead from the sofa, he explained, "Golden hair infused with soul power can become as thin as a hair. Once the soul power stored inside disappears, it will curl up. Imagine what would happen if it were shot onto a person?"

"Shooting it on a person's body?" Dugu Yan imagined the scene and exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't the flesh and blood be curled up?"

Lin Hao nodded, "Yes."

Shhh!

Dugu Yan gasped. Looking at the gold in Lin Hao's hand, she found it hard to believe that such an inconspicuous little thing could possess such terrifying destructive power.

If it hits someone, that person will be in excruciating pain.

Lin Hao flipped his hand and took out a large handful of gold coins, handing them to Dugu Yan. "These are all for you."

"For me?"

"Yes. Every time your grandfather comes back, he brings me a gift. I should return the favor, shouldn't I?"

"Is it only because of my grandfather that you gave me the gold?" Dugu Yan was not satisfied with Lin Hao's words.

Without much thought, Lin Hao grabbed Dugu Yan's hand and shoved the item into it. "Take it. This thing is specifically designed to break through the protective shields of Beast Soul Masters' Soul Skills. The higher the Soul Master's level, the weaker the threat. But it still poses a considerable threat to Soul Masters at the Soul King level and below!"

Dugu Yan's face flushed even more; the warmth of Lin Hao still lingered on her skin. She lowered her head and asked, "There are two more items. What are their uses?"

Lin Hao handed the tattered map to Dugu Yan empty-handed.

Dugu Yan touched the map, examining it carefully for a while, and said, "The map feels soft, like it's made of soul beast leather. But it also feels different. Looking at it for too long makes me dizzy! Boss, what is this?"

"I don't know," Lin Hao answered Dugu Yan's question very simply.

Dugu Yan blinked, looking at Lin Hao speechlessly, "You bought it, but you don't even know what it's for?"

Lin Hao picked up the map on the table and said, "Although I don't know what it's for, I guess it might be a treasure map!"

"A treasure map?" Dugu Yan perked up instantly.

"Maybe. I can't be sure. Only by collecting all the maps will we know what it really is."

Whether the maps were collected by Flanders remains to be verified.

The shelf holding the map has been there for a while. Shrek Academy hasn't been established in Soto City for very long.

Lin Hao even suspected that the mysterious map might have been left behind by the shop's previous owner.

It was tucked inside an old book, perhaps forgotten by its previous owner.

Perhaps the previous owner was an ordinary person who was unaware of its special characteristics.

If Flander had known of its existence, he might not have sold it so easily.

Whatever the reason, it now belongs to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao didn't know if he would be able to collect all the remaining fragments of the map in this lifetime.

It's like a treasure map.

The strokes drawn on it look like a painting of mountains, rivers, trees, and water. But after looking at it for a while, it doesn't quite look like a treasure map.

At the bottom of the fragment, there is an ancient character that is recognizable – “机”.

It's impossible to guess what it is from just one word and a few words of description.

"Keep it. I've never heard of an item that retains spiritual energy, enduring the erosion of time without dissipating. It must be a treasure!"

Meng Yiran pressed on, "And the last one?"

"The last item..." Lin Hao's interest was instantly piqued. He put the mysterious map into his storage jade ring and took out a bronze bracelet that smelled of horse urine.

Horse urine doesn't have a very strong smell.

The bracelet features a dragon and a phoenix.

No matter how exquisite its workmanship is, it still cannot change the fact that it is a fake.

The bracelets were either made of gold or jade. Bronze bracelets were extremely rare, practically nonexistent.

Only in ancient times would people wear bronze bracelets.

But it clearly did not come from ancient times.

Because it is a fake.

Lin Hao could not hide his excitement. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a dagger from his storage soul tool.

"Clang!"

Lin Hao struck the bronze bracelet, leaving only a chip on it.

"Yanyan, move aside!"

Dugu Yan retreated backward.

Lin Hao raised his hand and once again struck the bronze bracelet with his dagger.

"Clang!"

The bracelet snapped in two. Inside was a hollow roll of shredded parchment!
