Chapter 13 The Venom Sac of the Datura Serpent
Although Shi Lin had walked around Notting Junior Academy, he still didn't know where the library was.
After searching for a long time, Shi Lin finally found the library of Notting Junior Academy after asking around.
"I didn't expect it to be hidden so well. I've been looking for ages and still can't find it." Shi Lin looked at the small library in the corner of the Academy, which was less than 200 square meters, and shook his head helplessly.
Douluo Continent is truly a world where strength reigns supreme; no one seems to care about something as important as cultural heritage.
There was only one old man guarding the library entrance.
After giving the old man a few copper coins, Shi Lin went into the library on his own.
The library had very few books, mostly for early childhood education. Although Shi Lin's body was that of a child, his soul was already that of an adult, so these books were of no use to him.
However, some of these books also contain introductions to soul beasts and cultivation techniques.
These books still held some value for Shi Lin, so he selected some that interested him and walked out of the library with them in his hands.
Because he had bribed the old man at the entrance of the library, he didn't stop Shi Lin at all, and didn't even register him, letting him leave directly.
Shi Lin carried the books back to his dormitory and placed them on the bookshelf.
"It seems I'll have to go to Notting City to buy some books if I want to learn more." Shi Lin looked at the books on the bookshelf and shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, Shi Lin remembered that he had a class this afternoon, so he quickly packed his things, picked out a book that interested him the most, and took it to the classroom.
If the lecture content isn't very interesting, Shi Lin plans to study on his own.
The afternoon class was taught by an elderly teacher with white hair and beard, who lectured on techniques for cultivating soul power.
Shi Lin had no experience in cultivation, so he put away his books and listened attentively to the teacher's lecture.
As the bell rang, Shi Lin followed the rest of the group to the cafeteria for lunch.
For the next few days, Shi Lin lived a very secluded life, going between the classroom, the cafeteria, and the dormitory, with no other entertainment activities.
Because of the lack of soul beast materials, Shi Lin didn't plan to practice Gu cultivation, so he spent most of his time cultivating, hoping to break through his cultivation level as soon as possible.
Five days later, in the morning.
Having developed the habit of waking up early, Shi Lin carried two books into the classroom. As soon as he entered, he saw that there were already people in the classroom.
"Tang San?" Shi Lin was taken aback and looked at Tang San, who had arrived even earlier than him, with a puzzled expression.
In the past, Shi Lin was always the first to arrive at the classroom, but today someone actually arrived earlier than him, and that person was Tang San!
Judging from the appearance, Tang San has returned from the Soul Hunting Forest, and he must have already absorbed his first soul ring.
He has officially become a Soul Master.
Shi Lin ignored Tang San and went to his seat, opened the book, and began to read carefully. After all, Shi Lin did not want to have anything to do with Tang San at the moment.
Tang San also noticed Shi Lin, who had arrived at the classroom early to study, but Tang San didn't pay much attention to Shi Lin. He just glanced at him briefly and then started cultivating in the classroom.
Shi Lin and Tang San were both busy with their own things, and the two tacitly avoided disturbing each other.
However, at this moment, Shi Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Although the corpse of the Datura Serpent was too large to bring back, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both had soul tools, so they should be able to bring back some soul beast materials.
So Shi Lin thought about it for a while and decided to ask Tang San if he had any soul beast materials.
"Hello, classmate. My name is Shi Lin. I heard that a classmate with innate full soul power went hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings a few days ago. You must be the one." Shi Lin approached Tang San and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's me. May I ask what's the matter?" Tang San looked up, and although he was somewhat reluctant, he still responded to Shi Lin.
Although Tang San is a bit ruthless now, he hasn't yet been burdened with a "blood feud" and can communicate normally. If Shi Lin were to come up to Tang San after returning from the City of Slaughter, he would probably be pierced through by the Eight Spider Lances before he could even speak.
"Hey classmate, I'm not going to beat around the bush. Do you have any soul beast materials? I'd like to buy them," Shi Lin said directly to Tang San without any hesitation.
Tang San was stunned when he heard Shi Lin's words. He didn't expect Shi Lin to have designs on this thing.
"I'm sorry, classmate, this hunt for soul beasts was a bit rushed, so I didn't bring back anything of value and can't sell it to you." Tang San shook his head, refusing Shi Lin's offer. After all, Tang San and Shi Lin had only just met, and Tang San was currently very wary of everyone.
"Oh, that's a pity, classmate. I'm willing to pay ten gold soul coins to buy the materials you have." Shi Lin sighed somewhat disappointedly, then turned around and returned to his seat.
When Tang San heard about ten gold soul coins, his pupils trembled. Clearly, Tang San, who was used to living a poor life, was tempted by the prospect of ten gold soul coins!
Ten gold soul coins could buy his father so much good wine, rebuild their house, and buy a lot of food...
Tang San was still hesitant, wondering whether to do this business with Shi Lin, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the gold soul coins.
"Classmate, I only brought back two poison sacs, is that alright?" Tang San stood up, took out a snakeskin bag from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, and came to Shi Lin.
As the snakeskin bag arrived, a pungent, bloody smell mixed with a sweet aroma wafted towards him.
Inside the snakeskin bag were two black venom sacs, each the size of an egg, filled with green venom. They looked very fresh and hadn't been processed yet, so they were probably materials Tang San was saving to coat his hidden weapons with poison.
"A poison sac?" Shi Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the poison sac.
This venom sac is the core material of the Datura Serpent's cultivation. Moreover, according to Shi Lin's speculation, this venom sac, combined with the Gu worm, could very well be used to refine a Gu worm with the function of sedatives.
Although Tang San did not bring back the entire Datura Serpent, he did bring back its most valuable venom sac. This is to be expected, since the Tang Sect is skilled in using poison, and most of their hidden weapons are coated with poison.
"Thank you so much, classmate! If there are any more materials in the future, I'd like to trade with you again." Shi Lin took out ten gold soul coins from his pocket and handed them to Tang San.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you for your gold soul coins." Tang San also showed a bright smile.
He carefully placed the gold soul coins into the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, then returned to his seat and continued cultivating.
However, Shi Lin carefully placed the poison sac into the desk. Once the poison inside evaporated, everyone in the classroom would probably be asleep for a whole day.
