Li Qing slowly woke up, but his chaotic memories made his mind feel like it was seizing up. For a moment, he couldn't figure out his current situation until two completely different sets of memories completely merged together.
"I... transmigrated?"
After sorting through the unfamiliar memories, Li Qing gradually realized that he might have transmigrated because he found a lot of familiar information in those memories.
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and so on.
But...
When others transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, if they didn't have twin spirits, they had top-tier spirits. At the very least, they transmigrated before awakening their spirits, allowing for a little anticipation.
How come the original owner had already completed spirit awakening when it came to him?
Awakening wasn't necessarily bad, but at least give him a decent spirit! What the heck was a Crow Spirit with only three levels of innate spirit power?
He was at the bottom of society before transmigrating, and still is after. Isn't that like transmigrating for nothing?
"System?"
"Panel?"
...
Li Qing sat up and called out every cheat he could think of, but there was no response.
It seems.
He was just a pure transmigrator with no talent, no cheats, and no background.
No, you can't say he had no background at all.
The original owner was also named Li Qing. His parents were deacons of the Spirit Hall sub-branch in Nuoding City. Although they had died in the line of duty, their colleagues were quite kind to the original owner.
Should this be considered having some background?
However, this minimal background could at most provide some help in acquiring the first two spirit rings and choosing a mid-level Spirit Master academy. Don't expect anything more.
Lie flat?
Although his talent wasn't great, his background wasn't great, and he had no cheats, he was a transmigrator after all. How could he be willing to just lie flat like this?
He really didn't want to live the kind of life where he could see the end at a glance again.
No, who said I don't have a cheat?
I've read all the Douluo series novels. While I don't know them by heart, I understand some key information. Isn't this my biggest cheat?
Li Qing's eyes gradually brightened.
Yu Xiaogang is still at Nuoding Academy, and Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long, and Ling Feng are fifth-year students. This means it is one year before the start of the Douluo I plot.
Hanging onto a powerful leg?
With Yu Xiaogang and the Shrek Academy group who only value talent, it's basically impossible for a waste with only three levels of innate spirit power like him to join the protagonist group.
Tang San, who is from a killer background, is also not easy to approach.
As for the Spirit Hall...
Although joining the Spirit Hall isn't difficult, especially with the connection through his parents, with his talent, he wouldn't be able to reach the high-level members of the Spirit Hall and wouldn't receive key cultivation.
Joining wouldn't be of much significance.
Moreover, without a cheat, he really didn't dare to stand against Tang San, the protagonist, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Talent...
Speaking of talent, anyone who has read Douluo Continent can think of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As long as Li Qing can obtain the immortal herbs within it, his trash spirit might not directly evolve into a divine spirit, but it shouldn't be a problem to be comparable to innate spirit power of seven or eight levels.
Plus some other things, becoming a Titled Douluo might not be without hope.
It's just that Dugu Bo is also not easy to approach. In the original work, although Tang San pointed out Dugu Bo's flaws, if he hadn't been proficient in the art of poison, he would likely have died.
If Li Qing dared to seek him out.
It's estimated that even if the other party didn't slap him to death, they would capture him and interrogate him severely, and it's hard to say if he could even meet Dugu Bo with his identity.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well needs to be considered in the long run.
Besides the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, what else can change a Spirit Master's talent?
Whale Gum.
Whale Gum can improve a Spirit Master's physique, meridian strength, etc. This is also a kind of talent improvement, and absorbing spirit rings below ten thousand years depends entirely on physique.
The quality of spirit rings also has the effect of improving talent.
Currently, the use of Whale Gum hasn't been developed yet, and the price isn't expensive. Moreover, the savings left by the original owner's parents and the compensation issued by the Spirit Hall amount to nearly one hundred thousand gold spirit coins.
Completely sufficient.
Thinking of this, Li Qing immediately stopped hesitating, took the money, and went out.
Nuoding City is not large, and there is only one Spirit Master academy, Nuoding Academy. Therefore, considering their child, Li Qing's parents chose to settle in the western district of Nuoding City.
And it's not far from Nuoding Academy, belonging to the school district.
Li Qing quickly found a shop specializing in adult products. The boss was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, sitting idly behind the counter.
"Boss, do you sell Whale Gum here?"
"Huh?"
Wang Laosan looked at Li Qing, who had some baby fat and was quite cute, and couldn't help but be a little confused.
What is Whale Gum?
It's an aphrodisiac.
Although many nobles would have their servants buy it for the sake of their reputation, who would let a little kid buy it? Isn't this misleading the youth?
Complaining is one thing, but business still has to be done, and it's easier to fool children, isn't it?
"Yes, yes, what quality do you want, little friend?"
Wang Laosan's face was beaming with a fake smile, looking kindly at the child outside the counter.
Li Qing asked, "What qualities do you have here?"
The boss smiled, "From ten years and a hundred years to several thousand years, even if you want ten thousand years, I can get it for you, it just takes a little time."
"Hmm?"
Li Qing was slightly surprised and looked at the boss, saying, "Boss, you're not trying to fool me because I'm a kid, are you? With the size of your shop, you can get ten-thousand-year Whale Gum?"
Although the use of Whale Gum hasn't been developed yet, aphrodisiacs are never out of style.
Ten-thousand-year Whale Gum is definitely a top-quality Whale Gum. He doesn't believe those nobles who are extremely vain would be willing to let it circulate on the market.
Huh.
Wang Laosan looked at Li Qing with some surprise. This little guy looked at most six or seven years old, but why did he talk like an old man?
However, he still said with full confidence, "As long as the customer wants it, there is nothing I, Wang Laosan, cannot get."
Li Qing looked at him deeply and asked, "Then how do you sell your Whale Gum here? How much is a ten-year one, and how much are the hundred-year and thousand-year ones?"
Wang Laosan said, "The ten-year and hundred-year ones are temporarily out of stock. You'll have to wait if you want them."
"The thousand-year quality is priced in increments of one thousand years. One thousand years is ten thousand gold spirit coins, two thousand years is twenty thousand, and so on. What quality do you want, little friend?"
Li Qing turned around and left.
Damn it, even the thousand-year one costs ten thousand gold spirit coins. Even in Douluo II, it wasn't this exaggerated. Isn't this old guy purely treating him as a big spender?
"Hey, hey..."
Wang Laosan quickly ran out from behind the counter and stopped Li Qing at the door. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. If you think it's expensive, you can bargain."
Li Qing glanced at him and said, "Then I'll name a price, one thousand years for one hundred gold spirit coins."
"How much?"
Wang Laosan was instantly dumbfounded when he heard Li Qing's offer. He originally thought that the person behind Li Qing had given him a price, but now it looks like he's here to cause trouble?
