Chapter 41 A Win-Win Deal
Tang Wulin was completely confused. He didn't understand anything Gu Yuena was saying about dragons or anything like that.
He pretended to listen attentively, but inwardly he was trying to confirm, "Brother Huo, is what Gu Yuena said true?"
"It's true," Huo Yuhao confirmed to Tang Wulin. "The Golden Dragon King's divine core is on you. I originally wanted to tell you this later, but now... sigh!"
"Fortunately, your two classmates meant no harm. Otherwise, with their strength, they could have easily forcibly seized the Golden Dragon King Divine Core from your body. Let's not act rashly and observe the situation. If necessary, I will take action."
After hearing this, Tang Wulin felt much more confident. He sat on the sofa with his back straight.
"That's how it is," Meng Xinghe began, summarizing:
"Gu Yuena asked me to act as an intermediary, wanting to exchange other resources and treasures for the dragon treasure you possess. Tang Wulin, would it be convenient for me to examine your body?"
Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, Huo's words echoing in his ears.
So he nodded, "Sure, but Meng Xinghe, it might not be convenient for Gu Yuena to be here, right?"
Meng Xinghe understood the meaning behind Tang Wulin's words and replied:
"Don't worry, it's not the kind of examination you're thinking of. You just need to put your hand out."
Meng Xinghe stood up and walked forward. Tang Wulin, who had misunderstood, also blushed a little and stretched out his hand, looking at Meng Xinghe with some curiosity as he placed his fingers on his wrist.
Any Chinese person could tell this was traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis, but Tang Wulin couldn't understand it, so he asked curiously:
"Meng Xinghe, what's going on?"
"Oh, a method for checking the body, very 'scientific'."
Meng Xinghe placed his fingers on the meridians of Tang Wulin's wrist, and his soul power flowed into the meridians along his fingertips to probe the condition of Tang Wulin's body.
Half a minute later, Meng Xinghe released his grip, his expression looking somewhat solemn.
He turned to look at Gu Yuena and said in a deep voice:
"The matter is a bit tricky. The Golden Dragon King's divine core is indeed on Tang Wulin, but the power of the divine core has been divided into eighteen parts by eighteen seals."
"seal?"
Gu Yuena delivered a superb performance:
"That's true," she said, looking at Tang Wulin with a hint of realization in her purple eyes. "The power of the divine core is immense. Without these eighteen seals, Tang Wulin wouldn't be alive today."
Tang Wulin also confirmed the fact that there was a seal in his body at the same time as Brother Huo. He also learned that these eighteen seals had saved his life, but now the first seal could no longer be maintained, and a trace of the power of the Golden Dragon King was leaking out and merging with his bloodline, which is why Gu Yuena was able to sense it.
The Golden Dragon King's divine core is a double-edged sword; it can bring Tang Wulin tremendous benefits, but it also comes with deadly dangers.
If Gu Yuena doesn't come knocking, then Tang Wulin will need to gather three precious spiritual objects in the near future, using their power to break the first seal and absorb the essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline contained within.
This process is very dangerous. If you can survive it, everything will be fine. If you can't, there is only one outcome—death!
The existence of the seal allowed Tang Wulin to survive until now, but it also put Gu Yuena in a difficult position.
Meng Xinghe, acting as an intermediary, came up with a compromise solution.
"I have examined those eighteen seals. Breaking them rashly would endanger Tang Wulin's life. So, I have come up with a solution."
"If Tang Wulin is willing, we can provide you with spiritual treasures of heaven and earth for you to absorb. These spiritual treasures will ensure your safety when the seal is broken. Gu Yuena will take away the essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline contained in the seal, and you can also absorb these spiritual treasures of heaven and earth to obtain great benefits."
"What do you two think of this suggestion, Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin?"
"I have no problem," Gu Yuena nodded in agreement.
Possessing the wealth of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, if she is called the second richest woman on Douluo Star, who dares to claim the first?
The expenses in this plan were a drop in the ocean for her, not worth mentioning.
Tang Wulin's expression said "I'll think about it," but in his heart he was calling out to Brother Huo.
"Brother Huo, do you think I should say yes?"
"Little Wu Lin," Huo Yuhao's voice rang out, "this is your own business, and you have to make the decision yourself. I can't make the decision for you."
After hearing this, Tang Wulin pondered many things. Why would the legendary Golden Dragon King's divine core appear on his body? Could this be related to his father hiding his identity?
But if that's the case, then his mother wasn't an ordinary person either. She had to live in anonymity in the small city of Aolai because of some unavoidable hardship.
"So, it turns out, Mom and Dad did all this for me..."
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Tang Wulin didn't understand the allusion, but he grasped a similar principle.
Their family lacked the power to possess the divine core; leaving it behind would only attract more people who coveted its power.
Therefore, his choice is...
"I have no problem either."
After Tang Wulin spoke, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Alright," Meng Xinghe smiled, "There's no time like the present. Let's place an order for a few spiritual items now. If they're in the Spirit Pagoda's treasury, they can be delivered in a few minutes. If not, and we need to order from elsewhere, with the current logistics speed, they can be delivered in half a day."
As he spoke, he took out a Soul Guidance Device from the Spirit Pagoda's internal network, which looked exactly like a tablet computer, and clicked to view the list of spiritual objects.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin also came over from the left and right, their eyes following the list as it slid up and down.
In the original story, Tang Wulin used three things to absorb the first Golden Dragon King seal: a hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit, a hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Fruit, and the blood of a hundred-year-old dragon-type soul beast.
This formula was provided by Tang San's divine sense, and its effect is to assist in absorbing the essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline contained in the first seal.
The current Tang Wulin does not need to absorb the essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline contained in the seal. He only needs to ensure his safety and improve himself. Therefore, the spiritual treasures he needs are naturally different from those in the original story.
Meng Xinghe quickly flipped through the list and selected four spiritual items:
Centennial purple fungus, centennial stalactites, centennial green vine, centennial fresh fruit.
"Star River" Gu Yuena transmitted her voice: "Isn't a hundred-year-old spiritual item too young? How about we change it to a thousand-year-old one? Anyway, I can afford it."
"It's not low," Meng Xinghe replied telepathically. "The essence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline contained in the first seal isn't as much as you think. Moreover, we also need to consider Tang Wulin's physical condition. The power contained in the thousand-year-old spiritual artifact is too immense for him to handle right now."
Tang Wulin, the protagonist, has a different focus: money.
