Douluo Dalu: The Goddesses Know My Secrets

The Golden Tortoise explained, "This is my Life Tortoise Shell—the Golden Tortoise Shell. I can only shed it once in my life, and it’s one of the most precious things on my body."

Lin Qingmo crouched down and picked up the Golden Tortoise Shell. It was lighter than it looked, as if it were hollow.

The patterns on the surface of the tortoise shell were complex and exquisite, as if they were a naturally formed Formation.

"What is this thing used for?" Lin Qingmo asked.

In the original work, it didn’t seem like there was any mention of the Golden Tortoise having such a treasure.

The Golden Tortoise introduced it seriously, "It has two abilities."

"The first is ’Invincible Shield.’ It can be activated by inputting spirit power, forming a powerful golden barrier."

"As long as enough spirit power is provided, it’s very difficult to break unless the opponent’s strength far exceeds your major Realm."

"Simply put, it’s a life-saving skill."

Lin Qingmo’s eyes lit up; this ability was practical!

Opening a shield at a critical moment could block a fatal blow.

"What about the second ability?"

He pressed further.

"The second is ’Golden Tortoise Shedding’."

The Golden Tortoise continued to explain, "Once activated, this tortoise shell will remain in place to form a golden light barrier. Any target within the range of the light barrier can be instantly teleported to any location within one kilometer."

"The Teleportation location is designated according to your will, with an error of no more than ten meters."

"It can be used to escape, or it can be used for a sneak attack, such as teleporting behind an enemy."

"However, this ability can only be used once a day, and after teleporting, the tortoise shell will temporarily become ineffective, requiring one day to recharge."

Lin Qingmo’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened.

"Holy shit!"

He couldn’t help but swear.

This was practically a Divine Artifact!

A shield to save his life, and Golden Tortoise Shedding for escape or surprise attacks—both abilities were maxed out in terms of practicality!

Especially Golden Tortoise Shedding; wasn’t this just a high-end version of Teleportation?

Although it could only be used once a day, once was enough at a critical moment, and it could even take multiple people at once.

"Thank you!"

Lin Qingmo unceremoniously accepted the Golden Tortoise Shell.

He was already overjoyed.

First the Gold of Life, then a life-saving Divine Artifact, plus the previous Eight Spider Lances—the harvest from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was just too bountiful!

This Golden Tortoise really lived up to the name "Auspicious Beast"; meeting it was truly a stroke of great luck.

The Golden Tortoise smiled honestly.

That smile looked a bit comical on its tortoise face.

"I’m the one who should say thank you."

It said seriously, "After three hundred years, I’m finally free. This kindness cannot be repaid with just one treasure."

It took another deep look at Lin Qingmo.

"If there’s a chance to meet again in the future, I will return this favor."

Having said that, it didn’t stay any longer. It turned around, moved its four thick legs, and dashed into the depths of the forest, quickly disappearing behind the dense trees.

It was afraid that if it ran too slowly, the murderous Bibi Dong next to it would change her mind and kill it.

It was going to enjoy its life!

Without the Gold of Life draining it, its cultivation would slowly recover.

100,000 years, or even further. The Golden Tortoise was full of expectations for the future.

Watching the Golden Tortoise’s retreating back as it fled, Lin Qingmo couldn’t help but smile.

"This Golden Tortoise is quite interesting."

The forest was quiet.

After the Golden Tortoise vanished, only Lin Qingmo and Bibi Dong were left.

Lin Qingmo turned to look at Bibi Dong beside him.

His master stood there, her long hair fluttering gently in the wind. Her profile beneath the mask looked exceptionally beautiful in the mottled light and shadow.

’I’m the one who took the things, but if Master hadn’t been here, that tortoise would have disappeared long ago, and might have even turned around to hunt me down.’

He knew exactly how much he was worth.

A Level 45 Spirit Ancestor could get by in the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But it would still be very difficult to confront a 50,000-year Spirit Beast.

Let alone forcing it to obediently hand over its treasures.

All of this was because Master was here.

Bibi Dong was like a max-level expert carrying a novice village alt through a dungeon.

She was the one fighting the mobs, yet the alt got all the gear.

Lin Qingmo shook his head.

He walked up to Bibi Dong and handed over both the Gold of Life and the Golden Tortoise Shell together, his movements very solemn.

"Master, both of these items are very precious. They should be useful to you as well."

He spoke very sincerely.

Although he was indeed very covetous of these two treasures—nonsense, who wouldn’t be!

But Lin Qingmo’s head was very clear.

Without his master, he wouldn’t have been able to get these at all.

Never mind the Golden Tortoise; the dangers in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest alone would have been enough to give him a hard time.

Moreover, from the Awakening of his Spirit until now, his path of cultivation had been paved by his master.

Resources, guidance, protection... Bibi Dong had given him far more than he had ever contributed.

’One cannot forget their roots.’

Lin Qingmo said to himself in his heart.

’And one must never forget kindness.’

This wasn’t being sentimental; it was a matter of principle.

Although he, Lin Qingmo, was no Saint, he at least had a basic conscience.

Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment as she looked at the two treasures he handed over.

Then, she smiled.

That smile was very gentle, as gentle as ice melting in spring.

There was an emotion in her eyes that Lin Qingmo couldn’t quite understand.

It looked like relief, or perhaps something else.

"I don’t need them. A-Qing, keep them for yourself."

Bibi Dong shook her head gently, her voice so soft it could drip water.

She didn’t even reach out to take them.

"But..."

Lin Qingmo wanted to say something else.

"Be good."

Bibi Dong interrupted him, her tone gentle but unquestionable.

She reached out, her fingertips gently brushing through Lin Qingmo’s hair, the movement as natural as if she had done it thousands of times.

"Only when your strength improves can you better protect yourself."

Bibi Dong looked into his eyes and said very seriously.

"Only then can your teacher be at ease."

After a pause, she added, "Master is a Titled Douluo; these things ultimately have limited benefits for my improvement."

"But it’s different for you."

This made sense.

Lin Qingmo had to admit it.

Although the Gold of Life was precious, for his master, who was already at Level 95, the effect might truly not be that obvious.

The shield from the Golden Tortoise Shell? With Bibi Dong’s strength, did she need that thing?

On the contrary, for him, any improvement was massive.

’It seems... that’s how it is.’

Lin Qingmo pondered in his heart, but he still felt a bit uneasy.

"Master, at least take the Golden Tortoise Shell, even if just as a souvenir..."

"A-Qing."

Bibi Dong called his name again.

This time, there was a hint of helplessness in her voice, along with a full sense of doting.

"You are my disciple. Whatever I give you, just accept it with peace of mind. If you decline again, Master will get angry."

She said "angry," but there wasn’t the slightest hint of anger in her eyes; instead, her smile deepened.

Lin Qingmo was a bit embarrassed by her gaze.

Master was just too gentle today! So gentle that he was almost unable to handle it.

He scratched his head and finally stopped insisting.

"Then... thank you, Master."

Lin Qingmo put the Golden Tortoise Shell into his storage spirit tool; this thing would be his life-saving trump card from now on.

Seeing him accept it, Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction.

Then, her gaze fell on Lin Qingmo’s other hand, on that emerald-silver Gold of Life.

"The Golden Tortoise Shell can be used as a life-saving spirit tool, but what about this? What exactly is it, and how do you plan to use it?"

Bibi Dong asked.

She could only feel powerful life energy fluctuations within it, very pure and majestic.

But she had no idea what it specifically was or what it was used for.

After all, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth like the Gold of Life was too rare—so rare that there were no records of it even in the archives of Spirit Hall.
