85: Chapter 85 Yu Xiaogang's Envy: I Want to Become a Master Too!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Father, why must we negotiate with the Spirit Hall to purchase whale sharks? Why don't we go into the ocean to hunt Sea Soul Beastss ourselves? That way, we wouldn't be ripped off so heavily by the Spirit Hall."
At this moment, an elegant youth asked with a face full of confusion, voicing his doubts.
The elegant youth was named Ning Fengzhi, the future Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Standing before him was his father, the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Master Ning Qingzhou.
Facing Ning Fengzhi's confusion, Sect Master Ning Qingzhou slowly shook his head and then explained to Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, you underestimate the Spirit Hall. By the time they released this secret, most of the Sea Soul Beastss in the nearby waters were already easy prey for them."
"If we want to obtain low-age whale sharks, it is still possible. But if we want to obtain high-age ones, we have to travel to much farther waters."
"Moreover, high-age Sea Soul Beastss are already difficult to deal with. Coupled with the omnipresent dangers on the ocean, even if a Spirit Saint powerhouse goes, there is a risk of falling, and there is still no guarantee of any results."
"With all that trouble, we might as well buy them directly from the Spirit Hall. Although we are being taken for fools, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rich enough to rival nations, so it is acceptable in the short term. We can only solve this problem when we have sufficient channels to obtain whale sharks ourselves."
Sect Master Ning Qingzhou's words made Ning Fengzhi suddenly realize. Indeed, he had been too naive. If they wanted to get high-age whale sharks in the short term, they could only start with the Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, they would have to travel far into the sea, and whether they could return alive would be a question. The further the waters were from the continent, the more dangerous they became.
"Father, I understand. It's just that I feel a bit uncomfortable. Watching the Spirit Hall sell whale sharks at a hundred or a thousand times their original price while we can only play the fool is truly frustrating."
Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness. It had always been the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School making money; he never expected that today the Spirit Hall would make a fortune off them.
As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made its decision, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect made the exact same choice, opting to temporarily play the fool to solve their urgent needs, and then rely on themselves once they had their own channels in the future.
At the same time, they couldn't help but marvel at what an extraordinary genius Yun Yuan was to actually discover such a treasure that could change the Spirit Master's world. He truly deserved the title of "Great Master."
For a time, all members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were praising Yun Yuan. The younger Disciples even took Yun Yuan as their idol, wanting to grow up to be powerful and knowledgeable Spirit Masters like him.
Among them, Yu Xiaogang also heard the praises for Yun Yuan within the Sect, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
After all, back in Heaven Dou City, he had once suspected that Yun Yuan was looking down on him, and he had engraved this deeply in his heart. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely slap Yun Yuan in the face.
However, after learning that Yun Yuan was worshipped by everyone because of the "whale shark matter" and was even dubbed the "Little Grandmaster,"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but have an idea. With his Innate Rank half Soul Power talent, wanting to become a top-tier powerhouse was harder than climbing to heaven.
In that case, why shouldn't he, Yu Xiaogang, take an alternative path and become a Great Master revered by everyone, making all those who had laughed at him in the past regret it?
Thinking of this, a burst of "jie jie jie" laughter suddenly rang out from Yu Xiaogang's room within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"It's decided! Today, I, Yu Xiaogang, shall abandon cultivation to pursue theory, and I will surely become a Great Master revered by all!"
"First, let's set a small goal, and that is to surpass Yun Yuan in terms of reputation."
Having made his plans, Yu Xiaogang left his room and walked toward the pavilion where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect stored their books.
Since he wanted to become a Great Master, how could he do without studying theoretical knowledge? He believed that with his determination, he would surely carve out a path to heaven on the road of theory.
When the time came, he would publish theories that would shock the continent, directly shaking the entire Spirit Master's world, and make everyone in the world call him Great Master Yu Xiaogang.
In the Clear Sky Sect, after learning about the effects of whale sharks, Sect Master Tang Chen also decided to first purchase whale sharks from the Spirit Hall for urgent use, and then head out to sea in the future to retrieve some high-age whale sharks.
Right now, a crowd of Clear Sky Sect Disciples was still eagerly waiting to be fed, especially Tang Hao.
Ever since he learned about the effects of the whale shark, he saw an opportunity to catch up to Yun Yuan once again. This instantly drove Tang Hao mad, and he kept clamoring to Tang Chen for whale sharks.
"Tang Zhen, go to the Spirit Hall and buy some thousand-year whale sharks. If there are ten-thousand-year whale sharks for sale, purchase them first, no matter the cost."
"Hao'er needs them urgently now, and it will also be of no small benefit to Xiao'er. Do not spare the Sect's wealth; the most important thing is for Hao'er and Xiao'er to become stronger."
Tang Chen said to Tang Zhen in the main hall.
"Understood, Father."
Hearing this, Tang Zhen nodded and then went to do as Tang Chen instructed.
Immediately after, Tang Chen began to plan his departure from the Douluo Continent to head into the ocean to hunt whale-type Spirit Beasts of over ten thousand years.
As the Sect Master, Tang Chen could naturally guess that the high-age whale sharks in the nearby waters were monopolized by the Spirit Hall, and only by going to further waters could they obtain high-age whale sharks.
And since he was a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, even on the ocean which was constantly filled with danger, he had the confidence to return safely.
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
While the whale shark matter was fermenting across the Douluo Continent, Yun Yuan wanted to use this storm to accomplish what he planned to do next.
Upon meeting his teacher, Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan began to state his request.
"Teacher, for the whale sharks our Spirit Hall has collected, I want to let the other forces exchange them for herbs. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan with curiosity, his interest piqued.
"Xiao Yuan, why do you want to collect herbs? Are the precious herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well not enough for you to refine Medicinal Pills?"
He was puzzled. The herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were numerous and of high enough quality, with no shortage of immortal grade herbs. Logically speaking, it should be more than enough for Yun Yuan to squander.
Except for being superior in quantity, how could the herbs on the Douluo Continent compare to the herbs in their Spirit Hall's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
"Teacher, I have a grand plan. Not only can we heavily rip off the continent's major forces once more, but we can also take the power of the Spirit Hall to the next level. Would you like to hear it?"
In response, the corners of Yun Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
Now that his Soul Power Rank had reached Spirit King, it was time to lay out the path to becoming a god through faith.
If he waited a few more years to layout his plans, he would waste several years in vain. Raising his Soul Power Rank and gaining insights into the Way of the Spear held no great difficulty for Yun Yuan.
What was difficult was the barrier of breaking through from Rank 99 to Rank 100. How many incredibly brilliant people had fallen at this hurdle.
From now on, Yun Yuan would devote a portion of his energy to the path of becoming a god through faith. This way, when he reached super Douluo in the future, he wouldn't have to wait too long.
