For example, feeling like Senior was maliciously impersonating a student of Shrek Academy.
Even if Shi Yu didn't feel like he was impersonating, it wasn't a good thing if they came to pay attention to him. He wasn't from this era and couldn't withstand too much scrutiny.
Shi Yu quickened his pace, not wanting to attract too much attention.
Upon arriving at the antique shop, Senior was also particularly noticed, as they recognized the Shrek Academy uniform.
The academy emblem and a few words on the chest were still easy to recognize.
Seeing that Senior might be a student of Shrek Academy, the owner of this antique shop personally received Senior, being quite enthusiastic.
"This Shrek Academy identity is truly extraordinary," Shi Yu also got to witness the value of the words Shrek Academy.
"I happened to obtain a few silver soul coins here. Please, Boss, take a look and see how much they are worth," Shi Yu said as Senior took out a few silver soul coins.
This Boss was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who introduced himself as Boss Wang.
Boss Wang took the silver soul coins, adjusted his glasses, and leaned in close to look, as if trying to see some patterns on them.
"These are silver soul coins minted ten thousand years ago?" Boss Wang quickly made a discovery, looking at Shi Yu in surprise.
"Mm," Shi Yu nodded.
"Hiss," Boss Wang took a sharp breath. Things from ten thousand years ago were very valuable.
Senior began examining them again, continuously rubbing the surface, looking very professional.
Shi Yu watched Senior, observing Senior's reaction, and also secretly thought about the price of these silver soul coins, wondering what price would be appropriate.
"Why are these silver soul coins so new?" Boss Wang still asked the doubt in his heart.
Something from ten thousand years ago had no rust at all and wasn't old, which was very abnormal.
"These are things my elder stored in a Storage Soul Tool. They were preserved very well, so they are relatively new," Shi Yu gave the explanation Senior had prepared beforehand.
"Even so, they shouldn't be this new, right?" Boss Wang still felt it was unscientific.
"There are always special circumstances. Some might be old, while others might still be as new as ever. It's not to say that all ancient artifacts must be very old."
"The point is that these silver soul coins are indeed from ten thousand years ago, aren't they?" Shi Yu said with a light chuckle.
Boss Wang didn't speak, but instead studied them for a while longer, and an answer formed in his heart.
Holding the silver soul coins a little tighter, Senior looked at Shi Yu, with numerous thoughts in his mind.
The items were real, Senior was certain. Although they were very new, this wasn't necessarily a disadvantage; sometimes it could even be an advantage. After all, old items were rare, and brand-new ancient artifacts were equally rare.
Rarity makes something valuable. The value of these items might be even higher than old silver soul coins from ten thousand years ago.
What Senior was thinking about at this moment was what price to offer for acquisition.
Offering too high a price would be a loss for himself, while offering too low a price might displease the other party.
Moreover, the other party was a student of Shrek Academy. If Senior were discovered treating Senior as a fat sheep to be butchered, Senior might be in for big trouble.
Students of Shrek Academy were all favored by heaven, and becoming strong individuals in the future was a high probability.
It seemed inappropriate to offend a future Soul Master powerhouse for the sake of money.
Most importantly, Senior was also watching him, with vigilance in Senior's eyes, clearly guarding against him offering a random low price.
"Let's be a bit more conscientious," Boss Wang suppressed the greed in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Shi Yu left the antique shop with five million federal currency.
This five million federal currency was all stored on a card, so there was no issue of inconvenience in carrying it.
The few silver soul coins sold for a total of five million. The price could actually have been higher, but it would require going through an auction, which was too time-consuming and not suitable.
Shi Yu chose to sell at a lower price. Having five million federal currency credited was already quite in line with his psychological expectations.
The first thing Shi Yu did after getting rich was to buy a communicator. The communicators of this era were actually similar to smartphones.
After spending ten thousand to buy one of the best communicators at a normal price, Senior found a place to sit down and look up various information.
The first term Senior searched for was how long it had been since Huo Yuhao disappeared from the Continent, wanting to determine the timeline based on this. The answer was ten thousand and ten years.
"This should be Tang Wulin's era. I also don't know how old Tang Wulin is now, whether Senior is studying in East Sea City, or has gone to Shrek Academy, or is still studying in Ao Lai City," Shi Yu thought to himself.
While thinking about these things, Senior didn't stop, searching for all sorts of information Senior wanted to know.
The most important thing was how to obtain the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Senior remembered that in the Spirit Ascension Platform in East Sea City, there was an External Soul Bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The value of this item was extremely high. Since Senior was already in East Sea City, there was no reason to miss it.
Senior just didn't know if that Soul Bone was still there. If Tang Wulin had already gone to Shrek Academy, then it wouldn't be.
If it wasn't there, then there would still be a chance. No matter what, Senior had to try.
"Fortunately, I can still enter even without a Soul Spirit," Shi Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
There was an official website for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda online, which clearly mentioned the conditions for entering the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Possessing a Soul Spirit was not a necessary condition. Even a Soul Ring could have its lifespan increased by relying on the Soul Beast energy in the Spirit Ascension Platform.
However, the enhancement effect was less than one-tenth of the enhancement effect of a Soul Spirit, and there was a possibility of abnormal situations such as the Soul Ring being damaged by the energy.
There was a note above stating that Soul Masters without a Soul Spirit were not recommended to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Not recommended didn't mean not allowed. Shi Yu still had a chance.
The difficulty lay in how to obtain the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. Just having money wasn't enough; one also needed some background, or choose to join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
"Joining the Spirit Transfer Pagoda is indeed a good option," Shi Yu seriously considered this matter.
There were many things in this era that didn't exist during the Jue Shi Tang Men Period, some important ones being Soul Spirits, advanced Soul Guidance Devices, Dou Armor, and mechas.
If possible, Senior wanted to master all of them. That way, wouldn't Senior have a dimensionality reduction strike upon returning to the Jue Shi Tang Men Period?
Among them, what Senior wanted to obtain the most was a Soul Spirit, which could solve Senior's problem of difficulty in obtaining Soul Rings.
One Soul Spirit could provide multiple Soul Rings. If Senior obtained a suitable Soul Beast and turned it into a Soul Spirit, Senior might not need to worry about two or three Soul Rings anymore; they would automatically evolve when Senior reached the required level.
Senior could also increase the lifespan of Soul Rings through some methods. This was significantly better than normal Soul Rings.
And to obtain the technology for Soul Spirits, it seemed necessary to join the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. This kind of technology was not public.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time," what Shi Yu was concerned about was that if Senior traveled back after seven days of joining the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, there might be a gap in between.
It was hard to say how the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would view Senior's disappearance at that time.
After worrying for a while, Senior didn't think about it too much. Senior would take it one step at a time.
Anyway, if Senior disappeared, they wouldn't be able to find Senior, so Senior didn't need to worry too much about the aftermath.
