Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 32: The Living Gold

"Why, Elder Yi, are you interested in the Living Gold?" Du Qianjue smiled slightly.

"Enough, kid. Since you know about Living Gold, you should also know its importance to both of us. No need to test me," Electrolux replied with a mix of exasperation and amusement. "We must obtain it!"

"Of course!" Du Qianjue agreed firmly.

Du Bushi's eyes sparkled. What? Something this amazing exists in the world? Solidified life force forming metal? Just imagine the amount of life force it contains!

The allure of Living Gold was immense for Du Bushi.

What's the strength of the Body Martial Soul?

Besides the fact that the Body Martial Soul can greatly enhance the physical qualities of the Soul Master and that the Soul Master is most familiar with their own body, the most important aspect is its ability to undergo a second awakening!

The most powerful of these awakenings is the Gold-level Second Awakening. Currently, only Du Bushi in the Body Sect has achieved this level.

Ordinary second awakenings are already powerful. A Silver-level second awakening can double one's strength, but a Gold-level second awakening can enhance one's power by two to three hundred percent!

Such powerful awakening abilities naturally come at a cost. For a Gold-level second awakening, that cost is the Soul Master's life force! It's a method that burns life force to gain power, a desperate gamble.

Living Gold could solve the biggest drawback of the Gold-level Second Awakening! Moreover, its immense life force can improve the Soul Master's physical strength and enhance their recovery ability. It's a treasure comparable to the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Ice Marrow.

Even Xue Linglong was stunned, her mouth agape in surprise. Despite her nearly seven hundred thousand years of life, she had never heard of such a treasure.

"Actually, in the Lake of Life, deep within the Star Dou Forest, there's likely a large piece of Living Gold," Du Qianjue said, looking at Xue Linglong. "I can't say how big it is exactly, but it's definitely there."

Xue Linglong's expression was thoughtful. She knew the Lake of Life was a treasure trove not inferior to the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Ice Cave, but she didn't know it could produce Living Gold.

"Knowing is one thing, but what can we do? Are we going to fight Di Tian for it in the Star Dou Forest?" Du Bushi grinned. "But the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is different! It's something we can easily get our hands on!"

"The fools in the Star Luo Empire don't recognize its worth, proving it's not meant for them. It's destined to be ours!" Du Qianjue nodded in agreement.

The two exchanged a look, and their metaphorical fox tails seemed to wag wildly.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go now! I'll go personally!" Du Bushi laughed.

"No, we can't make too much of a fuss. We need them to know we want it, but not that we desperately need it," Du Qianjue shook his head.

"Do you think I don't know that? Don't worry, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly from the shadows. Someone else will do the purchasing," Du Bushi assured confidently.

After discussing the details, Du Bushi hurried off, returning shortly with a Soul Douluo with a large head and a somewhat dazed expression.

"That big-headed Soul Douluo is named Lang Ya, right? I think his martial soul is his head, making him a spiritual type," Du Qianjue vaguely recalled.

"Well, Elder Yi, once my granduncle returns, it will be settled. With him on the job, there's almost nothing on this continent that can slip through his fingers," Du Qianjue said confidently while holding Xue Linglong, sitting back on the swing.

"Yes, your granduncle is indeed very strong, almost reaching my strength in my prime," Electrolux nodded.

"Extreme Douluo is only close to your strength? Were you a god when you were alive?" ice Empress, now awake, asked in shock.

"Hahaha, a god?"

"If I wanted, I could have become a god long ago!" Electrolux laughed. "In our world, becoming a god means losing everything. I simply didn't want to become one!"

ice Empress and Tianmeng exchanged a glance, with Tianmeng feeling relieved.

Thankfully, I only had a verbal spat with this old man and didn't actually make an enemy of him. He once said that when he recovered, he would crush my beautiful body into pulp!

Recalling those words, Tianmeng shivered.

"Qianjue, there's a god's remnant spirit residing in your spiritual sea?" Xue Linglong was surprised.

Of course, Xue Linglong wasn't excluded from Du Qianjue's encrypted spiritual conversations. Since Electrolux awoke, he had kept the connection open, allowing her to know what was happening.

"Yes, it's a matter of fate," Du Qianjue smiled. "It all started when I merged with Brother Tianmeng."

"It was thanks to my fusion with Brother Tianmeng that Elder Yi was attracted. I must also thank Elder Yi's help. Without him, I wouldn't have such a powerful second martial soul!"

"Thank you, elder," Xue Linglong said sincerely.

Indeed, she should thank him. Not only did he help her husband greatly in this world, but he also sacrificed himself to save her and Huo Yuhao's lives in another world!

Du Qianjue secretly added.

"No need. The kid and I just help each other," Electrolux chuckled, genuinely liking Du Qianjue.

"Kid, can you tell me why you know about me?"

"Because I know about the Saint Demon Continent," Du Qianjue shrugged.

"Oh? You know my world?" Electrolux was surprised.

"The worlds aren't completely isolated. Your world is still within this universe, just very far away. I have my sources," Du Qianjue said mysteriously.

Electrolux didn't mind this, stroking his imaginary beard thoughtfully.

Though to others, Electrolux's spiritual fragment still appeared as a light sphere, and no one could see his expressions or actions.

"Would you like to be my disciple? I've already passed down two of my legacies to other disciples, but I still have one left," Electrolux offered with a smile.

"You're not worried I have too many powers?" Du Qianjue was taken aback.

"What does it matter? No matter how many powers you have, they are still powers. If you find the right balance, they can merge into one. Only then will you truly achieve greatness!" Electrolux said, unconcerned.

No matter how many powers you have, you surely wouldn't mind one more from me, would you?

Du Qianjue nearly quipped, but instead, he bowed respectfully.

"Master, please accept my obeisance!"
