Chapter 35: Magic Potion Refining, Selection Competition
Apart from a few high-level soul guides and soul bones with ridiculously high prices at the auction, there are quite a few items at the treasure appreciation event that can be considered to be of good quality and low prices.
For example, some pills that nourish qi and blood, or some energy-rich medicinal herbs and soul beast tissues. Although Huo Yuhao himself could not identify the energy properties of them, he still bought them one by one under the guidance of Alex.
Most of the medicinal herbs and soul beast tissues that can be placed in the treasure appreciation party have been tested by the Treasure Pavilion. Most of them can be used directly to enhance the physical strength of soul masters in different ways, or to increase the training speed of a certain type of soul master.
Among them, Huo Yuhao naturally did not let go of the blackened piece of ten thousand year old whale glue. With the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao’s own soul power was constantly transforming Huo Yuhao’s physique. Although he was only level 24, Huo Yuhao’s current physical strength was far superior to that of soul masters of the same level.
And if Huo Yuhao had this piece of ten thousand year old whale glue, combined with the magic potion that Alex extracted from other pills, medicinal herbs and soul beast body tissues, his physical strength would be even stronger.
This also means that Huo Yuhao's body can withstand a higher intensity soul power circulation, thereby affecting the speed of soul power cultivation through the body until the two are equal.
As for whether there are any other negative effects of using external objects to increase physical strength? At least in Huo Yuhao's cognition, in the Douluo Universe, I don't know if it's because of the author's malice, 90% of the side effects of drugs that appear on the protagonist are aphrodisiacs.
Or it could be said that his blood was restless, but with the dual support of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Alex, Huo Yuhao naturally would not worry about this problem.
The five people walked around in circles, mostly watching Huo Yuhao shopping. For Ning Tian, Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner, the simple cultivation resources were naturally taken care of by the forces behind them.
Not to mention Ning Tian, who is a direct disciple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the family forces behind Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner also belong to the peripheral families of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Naturally, they have their own cultivation methods that have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Being able to study at Shrek Academy with the young sect master Ning Tian, the two of them are naturally highly valued in the family. It is definitely not their turn to worry about the resources that soul masters use for their early training.
The main reason they came this time was to follow Ning Tian to win over Huo Yuhao. At most, they came to see if there were any special treasures in the treasure appreciation meeting to broaden their horizons.
Following Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong also bought a lot of things one after another. Huo Yuhao took a rough look and it seemed that most of them were some medicinal herbs, and they were more inclined to nourish qi and blood.
Moreover, most of the exhibits on display here have introductions, and most of the exhibits are also recorded in the books that Huo Yuhao read in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, which also makes it convenient for Huo Yuhao to choose.
"Senior Brother!" Suddenly Wang Dong's eyes lit up and he waved in one direction. Two familiar figures also appeared in Huo Yuhao's sight.
The person Wang Dong called was Bei Bei, and next to him stood a young man in black with thick eyebrows, fierce eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. Huo Yuhao naturally recognized that the other party was Xu Sanshi, who was as famous as Bei Bei in the outer courtyard. After all, Huo Yuhao’s time in the outer courtyard’s fighting spirit arena was not in vain.
Seeing Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei smiled slightly and walked towards them: "Two junior brothers, long time no see." At the same time, he nodded slightly to Ning Tian and the other two as a greeting.
Huo Yuhao did not respond, but walked towards the display case at the side, leaving Wang Dong, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi to chat.
The content of their conversation was nothing more than topics about the Tang Sect and Xu Sanshi's hope that Beibei would invite Jiang Nannan to join the Tang Sect to create opportunities for him.
As for the mess between Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to get involved. It was just a normal transaction, but Xu Sanshi actually developed feelings for him and became a gullible person.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were only a few years old at the time, and such bizarre things could only be seen in Douluo Continent.
Ning Tian followed Huo Yuhao who left alone, and did not let Wu Feng and Nanmen Yoona who had been following her come with her.
"How is it, are there other things you're interested in this time? I noticed that the pills and medicinal materials you bought these few times were worth hundreds to thousands of gold soul coins. Although they are effective for cultivation, the effect is not obvious and needs to be used for a long time."
"Do you need my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to provide you with a long-term purchasing channel? I can give you some extra discounts."
Walking behind Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian's calm yet clear voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.
“Tell me about it?” Huo Yuhao looked at the soul guide in the display case. It was a defensive soul guide. As a fourth-level soul guide, it only required the strength of a great soul master to use it, while a soul master could use it with ease.
"I can sponsor you in my personal capacity. The level of sponsorship can be the same as the investment made by Jubao Pavilion in you. The condition is that you have to owe me a favor in Shrek Academy. How about this condition?"
Huo Yuhao used the purple card in his hand to purchase this soul guide. He then asked the staff beside him to pack up this level 4 soul guide called the Glazed Shield and send it to Shrek Academy. He then turned to look at Ning Tian.
"A favor, this sounds light and fluffy. With my current ability, it should not be enough to enter the eyes of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Of course." Ning Tian responded with a smile: "So this is my personal optimism about you, not the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's investment in individual soul masters."
"I have a feeling that with your ability, the final investment result will definitely make my investment more than worth it."
"Also, the Tang Sect used to have a pretty good relationship with the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. Although the Tang Sect is now in decline due to various reasons, if we in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect can still help, we will do our best to do so."
“Well, thank you Miss Ning Tian for your generosity. I will be honored to accept your offer.” Huo Yuhao did not continue to shirk his responsibilities. “I will go back and sort out the things I need and come back to you later.”
"Okay." Ning Tian's smile remained unchanged: "There is also a chamber of commerce of my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in Shrek City. You can go directly to take over and mention my name."
Huo Yuhao nodded. Judging from Ning Tian’s expression, he knew that such things must have happened a lot in Shrek Academy. After all, there must have been a lot of internal struggles in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
As the young sect leader, Ning Tian bears more pressure than others and matures more precociously. It is normal for him to use the resources at his disposal to cultivate his own network or win over some subordinates.
After the two of them had almost finished their discussion, they returned to the booth where Wang Dong and his group had been. It was quite lively at this time, as Jiang Nannan was once again pestered by Xu Sanshi. Seeing Jiang Nannan's undisguised disgust for Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao curled his lips and directly pulled away Wang Dong, who was watching the show on the side.
"Let's go, we've seen enough, let's go back first, Ning Tian, we're going to go back first, you guys continue shopping."
Ning Tian nodded slightly to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, then walked in another direction with Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner.
"Wow, Senior Jiang Nannan hit me so hard this time. I really don't know what happened between Senior Xu Sanshi and her." Wang Dong looked at Xu Sanshi, who was kicked far away by Jiang Nannan, and made a clicking sound.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late. We should go back and get some rest. School will really start tomorrow. The harvest from this treasure appreciation meeting is pretty good. It’s just okay.” As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong out.
In his opinion, this was what Xu Sanshi deserved. Originally, the transaction was already done, and they were just strangers from then on. Out of sight, out of mind. But you actually went up to him and asked for a fight. Isn't this purely disgusting?
After leaving the treasure appreciation meeting, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went to wander around Shrek City. It was mainly because Wang Dong dragged Huo Yuhao along. After all, she had been hungry for a whole day and night, and she had only eaten the food that Huo Yuhao brought with her.
For soul masters at this stage, before they can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and convert it into soul power, the conversion of soul power requires the consumption of a large amount of energy from the soul master himself. The energy consumed by the food that Wang Dong had eaten before was not enough for her to consume.
After finishing the meal, the two returned to Shrek Academy. Because they did not have the branch plot of pretending to be cool and making a bet with Dai Huabin, they naturally would not trigger the assassination plot of the insane assassin in the original book.
Near Shrek Academy and Shrek City, a few Soul Emperors and Soul Kings dared to assassinate the core disciples of Shrek Academy? They are really brainless assassins, right? The cultivation of these five and six rings has cultivated their brains to death.
Moreover, the period chosen was when the treasure appreciation meeting was held. During this period, many Titled Douluo in Shrek City and Shrek Academy were secretly patrolling. After all, those who participated in the treasure appreciation meeting were all potential seeds among the outer courtyard disciples.
If someone really caused trouble at this time and wiped out all these potential seeds, then for Shrek Academy, it could be said that the generation would be cut off.
Although normal people would not provoke Shrek or touch the tiger's butt during this period, Shrek would naturally not fail to take any precautions. At least the mayor of Shrek City and the elder who controlled the Jubao Pavilion were always keeping an eye on it.
The next two days were very peaceful because it was a new semester and the entire grade had a lot to prepare and learn.
However, these preparations and learning contents did not have much effect on Huo Yuhao and some students who had powerful forces behind them.
Huo Yuhao had already read all the books in the outer college of Shrek Academy, and those students were naturally taught by the elders in their families and sects during the holidays. The only ones who were probably tortured were the civilian students.
In the past few days, Huo Yuhao has been dealing with the medicinal herbs, soul beast tissues and pills purchased from Jubao Pavilion.
Although in the academy, Alex could not directly help Huo Yuhao to refine the potion, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.
However, as a god of magic, Alex naturally has his own unique method, which is to use Huo Yuhao's body as a carrier to refine and fuse these materials.
Through a specific sequence and pharmacology, Huo Yuhao swallowed these processed medicinal materials, soul beast body tissues and pills directly wrapped in his soul power, and then sorted and integrated them in Huo Yuhao's body through the operation of his mental power and soul power.
Although this process was extremely difficult, it was finally successful with the help of Huo Yuhao's physique with all his meridians open, Alex's powerful control, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's huge spiritual essence as a backup energy source.
Feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power in his body and the feeling that he could control everything in his hands, Huo Yuhao knew that this was just an illusion.
Because at this moment, the medicinal power of the magic potion made from the mixture of ten thousand year old whale glue, medicinal herbs, soul beast body tissues and pills is still hidden in Huo Yuhao's dantian, continuously nourishing Huo Yuhao's body.
According to Alex, the grade of this potion should be considered a level five potion according to the strength classification on the Holy Demon Continent, and it is one of the more advanced level five potions.
With Huo Yuhao’s current physical fitness, if he could absorb it completely, even if he did nothing else, his physical strength would be able to directly leap to the level of Soul Master, approaching the level of Soul Sect.
Furthermore, with the energy supply of this magic potion, before the effect of the potion wears off, the physical injuries Huo Yuhao suffered or the hidden injuries he suffered during the period of the potion's effect will recover to perfect condition at an extremely fast speed.
This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao feels that there is an endless supply of power in his body. Because at this moment, with the help of the magic potion, his body is strong enough to support him to do things that exceed his current soul power realm. This leads to the wrong perception of his body's own strength.
In Zhou Yi's office, the core disciples of Class One, Grade Two had already arrived. With so many people packed into this small office, it seemed a bit crowded.
Zhou Yi nodded and said to these core disciples: "I called you here today because I have a special situation to inform you."
"In three days, the outer courtyard will hold a core disciple selection competition. Originally, it had nothing to do with us second-year students, but the academy suddenly decided to let our second-year core disciples participate in the selection as well, so you all need to be prepared."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples started to talk among themselves: "Strange, didn't they say there would be a class selection competition?"
"Yeah, I thought we only needed seven people at most. Do we all have to go?"
"."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. It is a blessing in disguise. Although there is the pitfall of Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi, the Gold of Life is still waiting for him. This time, the Shrek reserve team must enter. After all, the role of the Gold of Life to Alex and himself is self-evident, and he must get it.
