Around the crystal display case, the senior core disciples kept exclaiming in admiration, as if they had seen some incredible treasure.
Wang Dong and Zhu Lu both went over to take a look.
"Brother Bei, Brother Xu."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and called out. Hearing the voice, the two brothers who were whispering immediately turned around and looked over. When they saw that it was Huo Yuhao, their faces immediately lit up with smiles.
"Yuhao." Bei Bei looked him up and down. "It's been so long since I've seen you. You've grown so tall."
"People always have to grow taller." Huo Yuhao replied cheerfully. "I didn't expect to run into you guys today."
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi climbed onto Huo Yuhao's shoulder and whispered, "I heard that you forcibly controlled a thousand-year-old wind ape in the beast fighting area and made it do all sorts of flashy moves. You're amazing." "
Actually, it was also very difficult for me to control it." Huo Yuhao laughed. "Luckily, I'm a step ahead, or I would have been so embarrassed."
After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, Yuhao, you're here too, so why don't you give this guy some advice?" Beibei rubbed her forehead, changing the subject.
"What advice?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
Beibei smiled teasingly, "Some guys, you know, they pursue a girl desperately, but she just won't agree. So they come to me for help every day, but I can't think of any good ideas. Why don't you help him out?"
"By the way, Yuhao, you give me some advice too. If I succeed, I'll immediately go back to the family and get some top-grade pills as a thank-you gift." Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up.
"Hey, I'm giving you advice, why aren't you mentioning a thank-you gift?" Beibei was displeased.
"Do we brothers need thank-you gifts? Our relationship is so close." Xu Sanshi chuckled. "
Fine, fine, you're going to play along, huh?" Beibei laughed in exasperation.
But clearly, they were just joking and didn't think Huo Yuhao really had any solutions.
"Speaking of which, I actually do have an idea,"
Huo Yuhao suddenly said.
The two brothers, who were joking with each other, paused and looked over.
Just then, a beautiful figure walked over from the other side, seemingly attracted by the lively crowd.
This person was none other than Jiang Nannan.
Today, she was wearing a black school uniform, her petite and graceful figure even more captivating. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, it was no wonder she was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the outer academy.
In fact, the outer academy was not lacking in beauties, and there were several whose looks were no less than Jiang Nannan's. However, Jiang Nannan's identity made many people like her more. For no other reason than that, she was a commoner Soul Master with outstanding talent and a stunning beauty. This was definitely more attractive than Ning Tian, a disciple of a powerful faction.
No one dared to pursue Ning Tian; the difference in status was too great. Jiang Nannan was different.
"Nannan." Xu Sanshi immediately smiled and walked over in a rather gentlemanly manner.
However, Jiang Nannan completely ignored Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi's face stiffened, and he sighed helplessly.
Bei Bei behind him was forcibly suppressing her laughter.
Jiang Nannan greeted Huo Yuhao, and then left with a smile on her face.
"Sigh." Walking back, Xu Sanshi sighed again.
"I'm really curious, why is Nan Nan so polite when she talks to other boys, even if she refuses, but she completely ignores you? Did you do something bad?"
Bei Bei asked, quite puzzled.
"No, no." Xu Sanshi's head bobbed like a rattle-drum, but a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Maybe she interrupted in the wrong place." Huo Yuhao mumbled something unclearly.
"What?" Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were taken aback, not hearing clearly.
"Ahem... nothing." Huo Yuhao coughed.
Xu Sanshi scratched his head, suddenly remembering that Jiang Nan Nan had already walked away, and quickly asked, "Yuhao, didn't you say you had an idea? What is it?"
"It's not exactly a great idea, does Nan Nan have any family?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Family?" Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up. "Yes, Nan Nan's mother is still alive."
"Alone?"
"Alone."
Huo Yuhao said, "Why don't you bring Nan Nan's mother to live in Shrek City? But remember, even if you bring her, never talk about Nan Nan in front of her. You just need to be nice to your future mother-in-law."
"Even if her mother brings up Nan Nan herself, just say that Nan Nan is busy and you'll tell her everything when the time is right."
Xu Sanshi worriedly asked, "Will that work? Her mother's health is very weak. She had a heart problem back then, and her bodily functions were severely damaged. She almost died. Even though she's recovered now, her health is still not very good. I'm worried that a long journey won't be good for her."
"Then wouldn't it be perfect if you brought her over?" Bei Bei also realized something. "What's plentiful in Shrek City? Soul Masters, especially healing-type Soul Masters. You can just ask the academy teachers to help treat her, right?"
"When Nan Nan asks, just say Auntie isn't feeling well, and you're worried because you're far away in Shrek City, so you brought her here to take care of her. But don't forget, taking care of her is
one thing, don't use that as an excuse to force Nan Nan to be with you." Bei Bei knew Jiang Nan Nan had a mother; after all, Tang Ya and Jiang Nan Nan were roommates, and she knew a lot about her.
But what Bei Bei didn't know, Huo Yuhao did.
After Jiang Nan Nan was given the Xuanwu Divine Pill through connections to treat her mother's illness, she felt too ashamed and went directly to Shrek Academy, never returning, only writing letters and sending money back.
During this time, Xu Sanshi consistently sent people to take care of Jiang Nan Nan's mother.
This scene actually occurred in Qiankun Dog Training Valley.
In the end, Jiang Nan Nan was moved, and the two hugged each other, finally realizing they had entered through the right gate, not the back door.
To put it bluntly, if Jiang Nan Nan had seen Xu Sanshi taking care of her mother earlier, none of this would have happened.
"Alright, I'll ask for leave tomorrow and rush back to pick up Auntie."
Xu Sanshi's expression hardened.
After their conversation ended, Huo Yuhao turned around and noticed Wang Dong was nowhere to be seen. Puzzled, he asked Zhu Lu, "Where's Wang Dong?"
Zhu Lu shrugged. "I don't know either. She seemed to have left in a hurry."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was surprised. He looked around but couldn't find Wang Dong. Helpless, he said, "Never mind, let's go shopping together. I need to pick out some treasures too."
"Okay." Zhu Lu nodded.
"Yuhao, we'll go ahead then." Bei Bei said to Huo Yuhao, and the two brothers quickly walked away.
As they passed the counter, Huo Yuhao glanced at the soul bone inside, which was the Golden Light Left Arm Bone.
The price of 9.5 million was indeed astonishing, but unfortunately, very few could afford it.
"There's something good in the third counter on the left, Yuhao, you can take it."
Suddenly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang out.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw a dull, crystal-like item in a counter, long and narrow, resembling a sea cucumber.
Huo Yuhao didn't even read the description and went straight to the round-faced girl to pay.
He remembered that this was a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue, an extremely rare item on the market, but unfortunately, because of its ugly and dull appearance, it was assessed as a thousand-year whale glue, resulting in a price of only a few thousand gold soul coins.
After Huo Yuhao paid, a staff member from the Treasure Pavilion took out the whale glue for him, which he quietly put into his storage ring.
"This is Millennium Whale Glue. It looks quite old, so its effectiveness has probably diminished considerably," Zhu Lu whispered to Huo Yuhao.
"I know, but it's not a thousand years old, it's ten thousand years old," Huo Yuhao smiled.
Zhu Lu was taken aback, her dark pupils changing slightly.
The two continued strolling around.
The second floor was quite large, and as they walked, Huo Yuhao picked out several treasures for Zhu Lu, almost all of them items that could enhance or assist in cultivation. They spent nearly 300,000 gold soul coins, even after a 50% discount.
"That's the Soul Tool counter area," Zhu Lu pointed to a softly lit tiered counter area not far away as they reached a corner.
Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, and he quickly led Zhu Lu over.
At a glance, Huo Yuhao was instantly attracted to a Soul Tool that resembled a heart-protecting mirror, his eyes brightening. A card nearby provided information:
[Trigger-activated Level 5.5 Invincible Shield, produced by the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. Recommended user cultivation level: at least six rings. Under normal circumstances, once activated, the shield is sufficient to withstand a high-level Soul Douluo's attack for three seconds.]
[However, it should be noted that the invincible shield consumes a great deal of soul power. If the attack from a Soul Douluo is too powerful, the absorption rate of the user's soul power will increase dramatically, potentially causing the user's soul power to be exhausted in less than a second, leading to the shield's shattering. But without a doubt, this is an excellent life-saving weapon.]
[Disadvantage: This is a one-time use item, like your life.]
At the bottom was the price:
200,000 gold soul coins.
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao immediately went to another counter and bought the invincible shield, paying 100,000.
The second floor, due to its large size, had three sales counters.
After receiving the soul tool from the staff, a smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips. He wasn't buying this soul tool for himself, but for Ma Xiaotao.
When they go on the mission to exterminate the evil soul masters, if Xuanzi doesn't listen to advice, Ma Xiaotao will have a protective charm to avoid serious injury.
"Is this thing really worth it?" Zhu Lu was very puzzled. A one-time use soul tool could actually sell for 200,000 gold soul coins.
"It's worth it and it's not worth it." Huo Yuhao smiled. "Besides the Invincible Shield, there is another kind of soul tool shield. Although the latter is not as life-saving as the Invincible Shield, it is cheaper. In addition, as long as it is not damaged, it can be used indefinitely. More people use soul tool shields."
"The Invincible Shield is not something that everyone in the Sun Moon Empire can use. It is considered a luxury."
"I understand." Zhu Lu nodded knowingly.
"I'll get you an Invincible Shield when I have the chance." Huo Yuhao stroked the Invincible Shield soul tool and put it into his storage ring. He didn't know if Sister Xiaotao would like it.
Zhu Lu stared at Huo Yuhao for a moment.
"Let's go, let's continue to look around." Huo Yuhao didn't wait for Zhu Lu to say anything and walked in another direction they hadn't gone before.
Zhu Lu shook her head and smiled, then followed.
The two continued strolling around. Huo Yuhao planned to exchange the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone for a top-tier treasure if nothing seemed suitable.
It was a once-a-year opportunity, so why not take advantage of it?
But as they arrived at another display area, Huo Yuhao stopped. A dozen or so people were gathered around a counter emanating a pale white glow, all exclaiming in amazement.
Coincidentally, Wang Dong, who had been somewhere, was also there.
"Hey, where have you been?" Wang Dong greeted Huo Yuhao with delight.
"What's going on? Why are you all gathered together?" Huo Yuhao leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Wang Dong's face was filled with excitement. "A super treasure! An absolutely top-tier soul bone! It was just put out."
"A soul bone? What soul bone?" Huo Yuhao pressed. He remembered that in the original story, the top-tier soul bone offered by the Treasure Pavilion was the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone.
Could things have changed in this life?
"A soul bone that allows one to fly," Wang Dong explained excitedly.
"Fly?" Huo Yuhao muttered. Back in the Douluo Continent era, once you reached the third ring, you could use a flying soul tool. These days, flying wasn't as desirable as it was ten thousand years ago.
"See for yourself," Wang Dong said, seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't seem particularly interested, and pulled him over to look. Just then, several senior students left, freeing up a spot.
Huo Yuhao looked down at a soul bone displayed on the counter, his eyes immediately widening in amazement.
The soul bone's shape was extremely unique, resembling a miniature dragon wing, its entire body like amber, white-gold in color, with a strange, flowing light gliding across it. Even with the counter obscuring it, a strong power of light could still be sensed, along with a blazing aura.
Huo Yuhao quickly looked at the card description and was immediately shocked.
[White Dragon Wings, external soul bone, age unknown, speculated to allow the absorber to recover soul power or even heal injuries with the help of sunlight, price: 30 million gold soul coins]
The description was pitifully short, but even this brief description was enough to completely shock people.
"This thing sells for 30 million? Does anyone actually buy it? Age unknown, and it even allows the absorber to recover soul power and heal injuries with sunlight? That's outrageous."
Suddenly, a senior core disciple standing to the side couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Yuhao, obtaining it will help you utilize the power of the sun in the future."
Just as Huo Yuhao was calming his emotions, Electrolux's voice suddenly rang out.
Huo Yuhao nodded calmly.
"How about it, aren't you surprised?" Wang Dong frowned, looking miserable. "It's a pity I just bought something else, so I can't afford this. Otherwise, the Goddess of Light Butterfly paired with the White Dragon Wings would be perfect, it would definitely maximize the aesthetic appeal."
"What did you buy?" Huo Yuhao asked subconsciously. He moved aside, intending to go to the payment counter to select this special external soul bone.
Wang Dong and Zhu Lu followed.
Wang Dong whispered to the two of them, "I just bought that Golden Light Left Arm Bone, it's perfect for me."
He paused, Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu staring wide-eyed in astonishment.
"You just bought it?" Huo Yuhao was completely taken aback.
Wang Dong nodded calmly, "Yeah, this time when I left home, I wanted to take more money so I wouldn't be short of cash. My uncle stuffed a storage ring full of gold notes into my hand, probably worth over ten million."
"Brother Dong, do you need a leg accessory?" Huo Yuhao straightened up, his face becoming serious.
"I don't lack thigh accessories, but if you make me happy, I might reward you with something." Wang Dong grinned, joking.
"How would I make you happy? How about I give you a scrub?" Huo Yuhao teased. "My scrubbing skills are absolutely top-notch, everyone praises them."
Wang Dong's smile froze, seeing the mockery in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he immediately clenched his fist.
Huo Yuhao didn't give him a chance, quickly slipping away to the payment counter.
"Stop right there." Wang Dong shouted, chasing after him.
Zhu Lu stood behind, rubbing her chin. "Is this some kind of special friendship between boys? Helping each other scrub?"
Because the item was too valuable, after Huo Yuhao submitted his information, the Treasure Pavilion would deliver it to him later, to avoid others eyeing it.
After selecting their soul bones, the three left the Treasure Pavilion and went to Peace Street for barbecue, experiencing Shrek City's nightlife.
Huo Yuhao also went to see Blueberry and Tang Ya, only to learn from Aunt Blueberry that Blueberry and Wolf Baby had already gone off on their honeymoon.
It seemed that if they continued like this, Huo Yuhao would soon be attending their wedding.
Tang Ya wasn't in her rented room either; she and Bei Bei had gone shopping.
...
"Elder Mu, is this soul bone worth giving to Huo Yuhao?"
In a secluded room within the Treasure Pavilion, an old woman looked at the elderly man reclining in a chair with a puzzled expression.
"Of course it is. Perhaps this child will bring us a great surprise after obtaining this soul bone. A top-tier spiritual attribute martial soul, an ultimate ice attribute martial soul—the future of the academy will most likely belong to him."
Mu En smiled calmly.
The old woman's expression shifted a few times, but ultimately she didn't say anything more, clearly agreeing with the idea.
And she was none other than Lin Huiqun, one of the elders of Shrek Academy and the head of the Treasure Pavilion, a level 97 Super Douluo powerhouse.
Seeing Elder Mu quiet down, Lin Huiqun walked to the one-way glass window to observe the Treasure Pavilion, not disturbing Mu En's rest.
Mu En's eyes were slightly closed, but the words Yan Shaozhe had said to him before came to mind.
[Teacher, why didn't you let Yuhao help you absorb the evil energy of the Dragon Core?]
"The Dragon Wings and the Dragon Core both originated from that Light-type White Dragon. With such a soul bone, when Yuhao absorbs the evil energy of the Dragon Core within me, even if he fails, I can protect him from harm. If he succeeds, my injuries will be completely healed,"
Mu En's calm voice rang out.
Lin Huiqun, who was observing the situation inside the Treasure Pavilion, suddenly brightened, and finally nodded in understanding.
