Hanhai City, located on the western border of the Tiandou Empire, is the largest coastal city in the Tiandou Empire and the Douluo Continent. In terms of prosperity, it ranks among the top even on the entire Douluo Continent.
Upon arriving in Hanhai City, Qing Mu immediately smelled the slightly salty ocean scent, which was basically the same as the smell of the seaside in her previous life.
Compared to Qingmu, who had experienced it before, Ivysaur was slightly displeased with the scent, but did not have any special reaction.
"Soul Master, is this your first time visiting Hanhai City?"
As Qingmu and Ivysaur strolled around the city, they naturally attracted the attention of some people. A rather thin young man dressed in coarse cloth walked over and asked Qingmu a question.
Qing Mu sized up the man and asked, "You're a broker, aren't you?"
"Your Excellency has keen insight. I am indeed a broker in this Hanhai City. I wonder if Your Excellency would like my services?"
I have lived in this Vast Ocean City since I was a child, and I am extremely familiar with everything in the city. If you are satisfied with the service, please just give me one silver soul coin.
The young man in coarse cloth laughed.
As he spoke, the young man in coarse cloth glanced at the Ivysaur at Qing Mu's feet and couldn't help but marvel at it.
He was quite knowledgeable, but he had never seen a soul beast pet before. Qing Mu's ability to raise such a soul beast suggested that he was of high status.
Qing Mu pondered for a moment, then took out a silver soul coin from his storage soul tool and tossed it to the young man in coarse cloth.
"I'll give you a silver soul coin directly. If you can help me find what I want, I'll reward you with a gold soul coin."
The young man in coarse cloth accepted the silver soul coin. Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, a glint of longing flashed in his eyes, and he quickly replied, "You are so generous, sir. May I ask what you are looking for?"
"Whale glue, I need whale glue that is at least ten thousand years old, as well as some exotic herbs. Can you find it?"
Qingmu asked the young man in coarse cloth.
"Whale nectar over 10,000 years old?"
The young man in coarse cloth was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then his gaze toward Qing Mu became somewhat strange.
"If this were to happen elsewhere, it would be difficult to find such a thing, but this is Hanhai City. Although the ten-thousand-year whale glue is rare, it is still available. I just don't know how much the lord needs?"
Although Qing Mu's request was somewhat strange, he had seen far more outrageous requests in his many years in this line of work, so Qing Mu's request was not surprising in comparison.
"The more the better, and the higher the quality the better!"
Qingmu replied.
The young man in coarse cloth nodded. "I understand, sir. Please follow me."
Before long, the young man in coarse cloth led Qing Mu to an inconspicuous shop and went inside.
"Little Ka, you've brought people again."
When the shopkeeper saw the young man in coarse cloth arrive, he immediately greeted him with a smile, clearly indicating that the two were quite familiar with each other.

The young man in coarse cloth walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "My customer needs high-quality whale glue that is over ten thousand years old, as well as some rare herbs. Shopkeeper, I remember you have a piece of extremely high-quality whale glue, right? Please bring it out quickly!"
"Hehe, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself, guest."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Qing Mu and asked with a smile, "Guest, how many gold soul coins would you like for whale glue?"
In the current Douluo Continent, whale glue is merely an aphrodisiac and aphrodisiac. Although it is extremely popular in certain small circles, it is still a niche product overall.
And each time only a small amount is needed, which is why the shopkeeper asked Qingmu how much she needed.
"As long as the quality meets my requirements, I'll take as many as you have!" Qing Mu said calmly.
Qing Mu's words startled the shopkeeper slightly. After a brief pause, he took out a box more than a foot long from the warehouse and placed it on the table.
"All my high-quality whale glue is here. If you want it, I'll give you all 100,000 gold soul coins."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper opened the box, and instantly a strong aroma of high-quality whale glue wafted out.
Qingmu looked at the whale glue in the box, her eyes flickering slightly.
Inside the box was a piece of deep yellow-gold whale glue, much larger than the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue that Qing Mu had found the first time, reaching the size of a head.
Unlike the previous piece of weathered whale glue, this piece of whale glue from the shopkeeper was well preserved, with almost no damage except for some scratch marks in one corner.
Seeing that Qing Mu hadn't spoken, the shopkeeper assumed that Qing Mu thought it was too expensive and became a little anxious. He quickly said, "Don't think it's too expensive. Judging from the color, this piece of whale glue is from a whale soul beast that is at least 50,000 years old. Moreover, its size is also extremely rare. 100,000 gold soul coins is not much. If I sell it slowly, the price will be at least 200,000 gold soul coins."
The shopkeeper wasn't lying. If he sold it in batches, given the quality of the whale glue he had, it could fetch at least 200,000 gold soul coins.
The problem is that it is extremely difficult to find buyers for this high-quality whale glue.
If it is only used as an aphrodisiac, ordinary hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old whale glue is more than enough. Except for a very few people who want to try it out, there is no need for ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.
If he missed Qingmu as a customer, he didn't know how many years it would take to sell this piece of whale glue.
It's even possible that the glue could be passed down through three generations, leaving the person behind but the glue still intact.
"Alright, I'll take the 100,000 gold soul coins!"
Qing Mu nodded and took out a black card from her storage soul tool.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and quickly took out his soul tool, which Qing Mu swiped, instantly transferring 100,000 gold soul coins into his account.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Mu put the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue back into his soul tool, and the transaction was thus completed.
The shopkeeper was in a great mood after selling the whale glue. Remembering that Qingmu still needed some herbs, he quickly took out all sorts of herbs he had hidden away and showed them to Qingmu.
Qingmu looked at the various herbs the shopkeeper had taken out, her expression unchanged.
After studying with Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo, his knowledge of herbs also improved by leaps and bounds. Although the herbs that the shopkeeper took out were rare and precious outside, they were everywhere in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so he naturally had no interest in them.
However, just when Qingmu thought that this shop had nothing good left, something that Qingmu couldn't understand appeared in front of her.
It was a dark green bamboo stalk with nine sections and a length of one meter. At the top of the bamboo grew four bamboo leaves, and under the light, dark golden veins were faintly visible.
Upon seeing this, Qingmu immediately asked the shopkeeper, "What is the origin of this bamboo, and what is its use?"
