177: Chapter 177 Arrival on the Sun and Moon Continent, Mysterious Force?
Still having to wait until reaching level sixty before being able to leave, Hai Linger did not look very happy; she still wanted to go to the human World, as on the small island, apart from Zi Xuan, there was no one she could talk to.
How could Su Ling not know what was on Hai Linger's mind?
After all, this woman was someone he had set his sights on. The characters described in the original story were just the tip of the iceberg; there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven. Su Ling not only wanted to win over the goddesses from the plot, but he also wanted to find even more goddesses.
"Actually, I have a way that will allow you to go to the human World without worrying about human Spirit Masters harming you," Su Ling said.
"Su Ling, is that really possible?" Hai Linger asked, looking excited.
[Ding... Hai Linger's favorability +1, obtained white treasure chest * 1]
Hearing Hai Linger say this, Zi Xuan immediately corrected her: "You must call him Senior; how can you address him by his name directly?"
"Ah, Su... Senior Su!" Hai Linger said. However, in her heart, she thought that her age was much greater than a human's, so she shouldn't have to call a human Senior.
Su Ling smiled and said: "No need to be so polite. Based on your actual human age, I'm not much older than you. You can just call me Brother Su Ling."
"Oh, Brother Su Ling!" Hai Linger said.
"Brother Su Ling, can I really go to the human World early?"
Su Ling replied: "Yes!"
"In your situation, it would be better to go to Sea God Island. It can be considered a miniature version of the human World. The Spirit Beast guarding the island is the Devil Spirit Great White Shark. There, sea Spirit Beasts and sea Spirit Masters can coexist."
"Compared to the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, Sea God Island is very small, but for you, it is already enough. It has a population of tens of thousands and seven small cities. If you really want to see the World before reaching maturity, it is a good place to go."
After Su Ling finished speaking, Hai Linger was filled with longing.
Over here, she only knew that the Sun Moon Continent was where humans gathered, so she had only wanted to go to the Sun Moon Continent. Besides, she didn't even know about the existence of Sea God Island.
"Grandpa Zi, what do you think? Can I go to Sea God Island?" Hai Linger asked.
Zi Xuan said: "Sea God Island, that is a place we could go to, and I can go with you."
"Really? Grandpa, that's great!" Hai Linger said, looking excited.
Looking at Su Ling again, her eyes were filled with sincere gratitude.
[Ding... Hai Linger's favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest * 2, yellow treasure chest * 1]
Zi Xuan had been to Sea God Island before. He agreed with Su Ling's suggestion, and on Sea God Island, he could still look after Hai Linger. When she turned eighteen, she could even take the Sea God's examination.
Hai Linger was excited, unable to suppress her joy.
"Grandpa Zi, when are we going?" Hai Linger asked.
"Hmm, in about half a year," Zi Xuan said.
"Ah, we have to wait another half year? I thought we could go right away," Hai Linger said, feeling a bit disappointed.
Su Ling said: "Then why don't I take you both there in half a year? I am going to the Sun Moon Continent this time as well, which will also take about half a year. We can go to Sea God Island together then."
Hai Linger knew she couldn't make this decision, so she could only look at Zi Xuan.
Zi Xuan said: "Of course, we would be delighted, but we might slow you down."
"It's fine, leaving in half a year is no problem."
In terms of time, Su Ling analyzed that there was plenty of time. Coming back here in half a year would still leave three or four months before the examination. He could go with them then and, incidentally, reset Hai Linger's favorability!
"Then it's a deal!" Zi Xuan said!
At the beginning, he had been very guarded against Su Ling!
But after witnessing Su Ling's power—knowing that killing them would be easy—and seeing that Su Ling's requests weren't difficult, he had let go of most of his wariness.
Moreover, Su Ling had two million-year spirit rings and already possessed nine spirit rings, which meant their spirit rings and Spirit Bones probably wouldn't catch Su Ling's eye!
"Su Ling, I have a question. What do you need my blood for?" Zi Xuan asked!
Even though he had already agreed, he still didn't want his blood to be taken for research!
Su Ling said: "Follow me!"
Su Ling went to the seaside, took out a bottle, and poured out a drop of blood!
Immediately, Su Ling activated the skill, Fish Transformation!
Su Ling's body began to change, wrapped in light. In the blink of an eye, Su Ling transformed into a Two-Headed Sea Dragon over two meters long, and after a while, the Two-Headed Sea Dragon grew to several tens of meters!
By the shore, the real Two-Headed Sea Dragon was stunned!
"Could Su Ling also be a Spirit Beast!"
Zi Xuan said: "He is not a Spirit Beast, he is a human. He is just using your blood to transform into your form!"
"So, that is why he wanted our sea Spirit Beast blood!"
Su Ling stopped after demonstrating and did not continue to explain the effect of this skill!
Recovering his body, Su Ling returned to the shore and said: "We are undergoing the Sea God Island examination, and for the upcoming test, this skill will help us pass!"
"I see!"
After Zi Xuan finished speaking, he transformed into his Spirit Beast form and said: "Give me the bottle!"
"Okay!"
Before long, a bottle of blood from a 400,000-year Spirit Beast was in Su Ling's hands!
The previous blood of the Evil Spirit Orca King would affect the examination, so the effect brought by the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle's blood would be the best.
Regarding the defense of the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle, only Poseixi had a way to deal with it on Sea God Island. The main opponents of the examination, Xiao Bai and the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan behind her, would definitely not be able to break through the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle's defense.
Of course, the point of the examination was for everyone to pass.
Putting the bottle filled with blood into the System space, these three Spirit Beasts over 100,000 years old had the ocean as their home field, but could also be used on land.
As long as it was blood from a sea Spirit Beast, this Fish Transformation move could be used.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore and will head to the Sun Moon Continent first." After Su Ling finished speaking, he prepared to leave, releasing a pair of external Spirit Bone wings behind him.
It was more reliable to use this pair of wings for traveling.
"Su Ling, in half a year, I'll be waiting for you to take us with you," Hai Linger said.
"Alright, don't worry, I will definitely come." After Su Ling finished speaking, he took flight and prepared to leave, but just as he flew up, he heard the System's notification.
[Ding... Hai Linger's favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest * 1]
"I might as well give them something else."
Su Ling turned back and said: "Zi Xuan, I made you bleed just now, and I see that Hai Linger is at level forty-nine. This item should be suitable for her, so I'll gift it to you."
After speaking, Su Ling took out a ten-thousand-year medicinal herb from the System—the ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma, which even Poseixi would consider a good item.
The ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma slowly descended under the protection of Su Ling's Soul Power.
When the three Spirit Beasts saw this medicinal herb, their eyes lit up.
"Is that actually a ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma?"
"The quality is excellent!"
"Su Ling, this... is too precious," Zi Xuan said.
Su Ling said: "It's fine, this is a gift for Hai Linger."
After speaking, Su Ling flashed and disappeared from their sight.
"We gave our blood too, why didn't he give us a ten-thousand-year medicinal herb to replenish ourselves?" The Six-Armed Thunder Naga said, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
It was the same giving of blood, but the difference was too great.
Zi Xuan took the ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma and carefully inspected it.
"Linger, with this, you can easily break through to level fifty. This is a ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma; it is several times better than the medicinal herb I've been cultivating that is about to reach ten thousand years."
The reason he said they would leave in half a year was mainly because that medicinal herb would reach ten thousand years within half a year. When it was given to Hai Linger to consume then, she would be able to go to Sea God Island with Soul Power above level fifty.
"Mm!" Hai Linger said.
"Brother Su Ling, thank you."
Regardless of whether Su Ling could hear her, Hai Linger still shouted in the direction where Su Ling had left.
As a former 100,000-year Spirit Beast, Hai Linger also knew the efficacy of the ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma; among coral-type medicinal herbs, it could rank in the top three.
Moreover, it was a rare medicinal herb that could increase Soul Power and consolidate one's foundation—this was its greatest value.
Zi Xuan also knew that there were many ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs in the ocean, and he had many on him, but there were none that could be consumed directly by Hai Linger that had reached ten thousand years.
Having obtained the ten-thousand-year Purple Jade Coral Ganoderma, Hai Linger was very grateful to Su Ling, and this gratitude also transformed into a precise numerical value.
[Ding... Hai Linger's favorability +15, obtained white treasure chest * 9, yellow treasure chest * 2]
Hai Linger's favorability had accumulated to 42 points. According to Su Ling's estimation, when he returned and took her to Sea God Island, it would reach over sixty.
Flying at high speed over the ocean, Su Ling did not slow down to observe the sea area this time.
After all, he had accumulated enough sea Spirit Beast blood for Fish Transformation; he had blood from various types and different ages of sea Spirit Beasts, so he didn't need to prepare any more.
...
Three days later!
Su Ling finally saw a piece of land. Su Ling deliberately flew to a height of over two thousand meters to observe; looking into the distance, he couldn't see the edge at all, so it shouldn't be an island.
He must have arrived at the Sun Moon Continent.
Ordinary Spirit Masters really couldn't travel this far. Sailing on the ocean involved attacks from sea Spirit Beasts, and if there was no ship, Soul Power would eventually run out while flying over the ocean.
When Soul Power was exhausted and there was no landing spot, one could only stay on the sea surface by boat. If it were the deep sea and they were detected by some powerful Spirit Beast, even an ordinary Titled Douluo would find it hard to survive.
This might be the biggest reason why the Sun Moon Continent had never communicated with the others.
Su Ling looked ahead and activated the Eye of True Sight. Before long, he discovered a small town not far from the coast.
So Su Ling flew toward this small town.
He landed in an uninhabited area before long.
Looking at his clothes, they were indeed different from what these people were wearing, but that didn't matter.
And when Su Ling entered the small town, everyone treated him as an outsider, and not only did they take an extra look.
There was the reason of the clothing, and of course, the reason of his good looks.
Men basically treated him as an outsider, while women mostly looked at him with appreciation.
"Little brother, is this your first time coming to our Haifeng Town? My name is Li Moting, you can call me Tingting. Do you want me to take you around this town?"
In front of Su Ling came a woman with a decent figure, though her looks could only be considered average. She didn't look young either, at least over thirty.
What surprised Su Ling most was that he could roughly understand what the other person was saying. Although the tone of some words might be different and carried a slight dialect, Su Ling could still understand the meaning.
"Is this Haifeng Town?" Su Ling said.
"That's right, this is Haifeng Town," Li Moting said.
Su Ling said: "Then take me around, and I also need to change my clothes."
"Mm... well, little brother, our Haifeng Town is a famous seaside tourist town, you this..." Li Moting's meaning was very clear: if you don't have money, how can I do things for you?
Give money?
Yes, tour guides also need to eat.
Originally, Su Ling wanted to take out gold coins, but the gold coins on him were of the Douluo Continent standard, which must be different from here.
"Is this okay?"
"I left the continent to Cultivate at sea with my teacher for many years, and I don't know where my previous money went."
Su Ling directly took out a gold bar, weighing about half a catty.
These gold bars were naturally not from Su Ling's reserves; they were all from the spatial spirit tools carried by the Spirit Masters he had killed before.
Seeing Su Ling take out a large piece of gold, her eyes lit up.
"Little brother, I can't take this much. My explanation only costs one gold coin a day. How about I take you to a bank to exchange it?"
"A bank, okay, let's go exchange it first," Su Ling said.
The woman's action surprised Su Ling. If the other party had just taken this gold bar away, he wouldn't have minded either. After all, it was his first day here, he didn't know anything, and there was too much to understand; losing it wouldn't have been a big deal.
Following Li Moting, after a while, the woman asked again: "I don't know how to address you, little brother?"
"My surname is Su!"
"Brother Su, you must be a Spirit Master, right?" Li Moting said. She had heard Su Ling say just now that he had been cultivating at sea for many years, so he must be a Spirit Master.
Looking at Su Ling's temperament again, he was clearly not an ordinary person. How would she dare to just take the gold bar? She was afraid of not wanting to live anymore.
As a Senior tour guide, she still had that much discernment.
Su Ling said: "That's right, you could say I'm a Spirit Master!"
"Brother Su, this is the bank. You go in and exchange it, I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay!"
Su Ling looked at the introduction above; the text was similar to that of the Douluo Continent. A bank, isn't that just a bank?
The Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent were too similar, which made Su Ling guess that the two continents might really have some kind of connection.
Entering the bank, a formally and appropriately dressed woman walked over. Just looking at her looks, she was at least a ninety.
"Guest, may I ask what business you would like to handle? My name is Xiaoling, and I am at your service."
Su Ling said: "Help me exchange some gold coins. Also, exchange some in smaller denominations."
After speaking, Su Ling took out a small box. Inside the box were gold bars weighing about fifty kilograms.
"Please wait a moment!"
"I will immediately ask someone to come and verify it."
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old walked over. When he saw Su Ling's attire, he was stunned for a moment before coming over to verify Su Ling's gold bars.
The process was very short, and it was finished in less than five minutes.
"Fifty kilograms of pure gold bars, purity is qualified. It can be exchanged for five thousand gold coins, fifty thousand silver coins, and five hundred thousand bronze coins. However, we have to charge a one-thousandth handling fee and minting fee. Any amount less than one gold coin is charged as one gold coin, so you can only get four thousand nine hundred and ninety-five gold coins in the end," the middle-aged man said, looking at Su Ling.
"Can it only be exchanged for five thousand?" Su Ling said, surprised.
He remembered that the weight of a gold coin in the Douluo Continent was about five grams. So according to the weight of the gold coin here, wouldn't it be ten grams each? This was simply doubling the price.
"Yes, our bank is all over the Sun Moon Continent, and it's all like this," the middle-aged man said.
"Alright then, exchange it for me. Give me one thousand silver coins and one thousand bronze coins as well," Su Ling said. The difference between the two continents appeared immediately.
Su Ling remembered that the Sun Moon Continent had richer products compared to the Douluo Continent, and it was indeed true; even the gold coins were one size bigger!
Before long, a box of gold coins was brought out for Su Ling.
Su Ling also picked one up to take a look. He was shocked at what he saw.
Damn, the standard, pattern, and appearance of this thing were exactly the same as the gold coins of the Douluo Continent, with almost no difference.
If there was a biggest difference, it might be that it was a circle larger than the Douluo Continent's gold coins.
Looking at the silver coins and bronze coins, it was the same! Even the exchange ratio was the same.
Could it be that there was an unknown force between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent?
