Douluo: The True Eye

"?" Opening his eyes and rubbing his head, Huo Yuhao felt a little strange.

‘What’s going on? Did I fall asleep?’ He looked at the sunlight streaming in from the dormitory window, feeling his mind was clearer than before.

It was still early morning, and Wang Dong was still fast asleep in his bed.

Huo Yuhao frowned. He first used Spiritual Sharing to review the memories stored in Tianmeng Iceworm's spiritual avatar, finding nothing unusual during that time. It seemed he had simply fallen asleep last night.

Wang Dong was the same, but she might have just been in a state of deep sleep for the first time, so she slept soundly through the night without waking up.

‘Stop looking, child. It was I who made you fall asleep yesterday. How was your sleep? Comfortable?’ An old voice echoed from the depths of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

As if anticipating Huo Yuhao's next question: ‘There must be a balance between work and rest. Proper relaxation is necessary, a principle I believe you understand.’

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. He naturally understood and knew that Iilex was acting out of kindness, but, Elder I, isn't your method of relaxation a bit too crude!

‘Elder I, I hope that next time something like this happens, you can tell me in advance.’

‘Yes, I understand.’ Iilex responded, feeling somewhat tired himself. Yesterday, Huo Yuhao wasn't simply sleeping; Iilex had been using his divine sense to mobilize Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.

This allowed Huo Yuhao to enter a state of unconsciousness as much as possible, achieving complete relaxation. For Iilex, although it didn't deplete his divine sense, it was still tiring.

“Phew, I slept so well, but why am I so hungry? Huo Yuhao, let's quickly go have lunch, or the cafeteria will close.” Stretching lazily, Wang Dong said somewhat languidly.

“Of course you're hungry. You've slept for a whole day and night. Eat something to tide you over first.”

Huo Yuhao took out a prepared simple meal from his storage soul tool and handed it to Wang Dong.

“Ah?” Hearing this, Wang Dong was a little dazed, looking incredulously at the setting sun outside the window.

“What did you say? I thought I only slept for an hour or two? Crap, I hope I didn't catch it from you!?”

“You're overthinking it. It's normal to enter a state of deep sleep for the first time. It will relax your whole body and be very beneficial for relieving mental fatigue. It won't be like this afterwards.”

“Alright, hurry up and eat. We have serious business to attend to after eating.”

Wang Dong ate while muttering and asking: “Serious business? Isn’t today a holiday?”

Huo Yuhao placed a gold-lettered red card on the table: “It was originally a holiday, but Shrek City is holding a Treasure Appraisal Fair, inviting core disciples of Shrek Academy to participate. Here, this is your invitation.”

Hearing this, Wang Dong quickly sped up his eating, then said: “Wow, really? I've heard of the Treasure Appraisal Fair. It's said that there are discounts for students from our Shrek Academy.”

“Yes, get ready after eating. There's a financial backer sponsoring this event.” Huo Yuhao said after tidying up his clothes.

“Ah? A financial backer? Who is it?” Putting down the half-eaten lunch box, Wang Dong wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

“You've met her before, Ning Tian from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. She just told me the specific details about the Treasure Appraisal Fair.”

“Ah? Is she trying to seduce you?” Hearing this, Wang Dong suddenly became vigilant: “Those guys from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are all about profit. Don't get tricked by them.”

“Mm-hmm.” Huo Yuhao nodded: “I naturally understand. You could say she's interested in me, but only in my future potential. I went out with her in the afternoon for a brief discussion.”

“The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Sect have some relationship. She came to me, definitely not to recruit me into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. At most, it's just to become acquainted, at most to curry favor.”

“But it's not worth not going. Let's go, it can be considered seeing the world.” Compared to other things, Huo Yuhao was most concerned about the sale of pills and medicines at this Treasure Appraisal Fair.

For him, who possessed the Eye of Truth, refining pills on Douluo Continent was extremely simple.

This can be seen from the manufacturing process of the Xuanshui Pill. Most of them are forcibly combined with the powerful energy and medicinal properties of the medicinal materials and soul beast essence blood themselves.

Rather than calling them pills, it would be better to call them medicinal balls, completely lacking technical content.

In Iilex's words, this was a complete waste of natural resources. With such a large amount of materials, Iilex could even refine ten times the results of the pills on Douluo Continent.

But this also has its benefits, which is that Huo Yuhao can, through Iilex's guidance, purify these roughly refined pills into more effective magic potions through the magic potion refining process.

Although Iilex's main profession was not a magic potion master, as the most talented magic god in the history of the Holy Magic Continent, refining magic potions was naturally not a difficult task for him.

Secondly, the opportunity to display a large number of soul tools was extremely rare for Huo Yuhao. He naturally had to seize it to analyze the core magic arrays of these soul tools.

After Wang Dong finished eating and changed his clothes, it was almost time. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went to the gate of Shrek Academy together, and also saw Ning Tian, who was waiting for them, and her two followers, Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

For normal soul masters, the soul power of the whole body must be mobilized, operated, and strengthened in a meditation state. Breaking through the bottleneck is a test for every soul master.

Naturally, it's not like Huo Yuhao, a cheater, whose whole body's soul power circulates and can be steadily improved with the help of Tianmeng Iceworm. Therefore, when breaking through bottlenecks, it's normal for ordinary soul masters to meditate for five or six hours.

After speaking, the five people went to the Jubao Pavilion, where the Treasure Appraisal Fair was held.

Along the way, Ning Tian also noticed Wu Feng's hostility towards Huo Yuhao. Although she didn't know where it came from, as the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she naturally disciplined her a little.

After all, her purpose in inviting Huo Yuhao to participate in the Treasure Appreciating Conference this time was to give favors and build connections, not to add an enemy. After this incident, Wu Feng also restrained herself a bit.

Shrek City, Jubaoge (Treasure Gathering Pavilion).

This is the largest shop in Shrek City, dealing in all kinds of soul master and soul tool related items. The overall structure is divided into four floors, covering a huge area. At the same time, it is more than twenty meters high, resplendent and magnificent, and its exterior resembles a cornucopia.

"We're here." Walking into Jubaoge, those responsible for receiving guests were some young girls who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, but had no innate soul power themselves.

These girls were all beautiful in appearance and slender in figure, wearing long skirts that highlighted their figures, appearing graceful and charming. It was obvious that Jubaoge had spent a lot of effort to search them from the folk and train them rigorously.

The purpose of doing this was self-evident. One was for the sake of Jubaoge's reputation, and the other was to stimulate the students of Shrek Academy, who were still in their youth and full of vigor, to spend money through their beauty.

After the five people showed their invitation letters, a welcoming girl at the door quickly smiled and led them into Jubaoge.

Entering the second floor of Jubaoge, this is the exhibition area for the Treasure Appreciating Conference for core disciples.

In the most conspicuous position, each booth displayed the items on the exhibition stand from the most perfect angle to the core disciples who came to participate. Through the crystal clear glass cover, everyone could clearly see all the exhibits at a glance.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Jubaoge Treasure Appreciating Conference. The five distinguished guests can browse at will. If there are any items you like, please go to the west side of the second floor to register and purchase."

"At the same time, if you need to evaluate the credit limit or discount, you can also inquire on the west side."

The few people were all new students of Shrek Academy, and now they were only in the second grade. Even Ning Tian, who was from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, had never come to Jubaoge to participate in relevant evaluations.

So, under the guidance of the welcoming girl, the five people walked towards the west side of the second floor. At the same time, the exhibits along the way made everyone a little overwhelmed and dazzled.

On the way, Huo Yuhao saw a huge booth with a piece of golden-red soul bone displayed in it, suspended in the booth.

Unsurprisingly, this soul bone should be the one that Huo Yuhao spent 9.5 million gold soul coins on for Wang Dong in the original book.

It's just that, unlike in the original book, this soul bone doesn't seem to be very attractive to Wang Dong now, and Wang Dong didn't show a strong desire for this soul bone.

'Is it because of that torso bone?' Huo Yuhao made some guesses based on the known information, but in any case, it has nothing to do with him, after all, no matter how biased his soul power is, it won't be biased towards the light attribute.

However, for Huo Yuhao, this trip can be said to be very rewarding. A large number of soul tools were also placed and displayed in the booths.

Corresponding to Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Eye of Reality, these soul tools are like being naked, completely displayed in his eyes. The core magic array structure of the soul tool was recorded one by one by the Eye of Reality.

Although he doesn't have the energy to interpret these core magic array structures for the time being, it is not much pressure for Huo Yuhao to just record them.

The lowest is also a third-level soul tool, and the highest even has a seventh-level soul tool design drawing. However, for Huo Yuhao, there is no difference between the two. Whether it is a drawing or a soul tool, he records them in the same way.

After walking nearly a hundred meters, under the guidance of the welcoming girl, the five people came to a counter at the end of the west side. A girl in the counter stood up and said respectfully: "Hello, five soul masters, please fill out the evaluation form."

Then, five forms with not complicated content were pushed in front of everyone.

Unlike Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er did not take the forms to fill out.

After all, the three of them are actually from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so naturally they would not owe Shrek Academy too much favor in this kind of thing.

Therefore, the so-called discount and credit limit are of no use to them, after all, compared to hard-to-repay favors, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong filled out the contents of the form normally. After all, Huo Yuhao, who was born as a commoner, believed that only the resources he got were the most important. As for how to get them, it didn't matter to him.

Wang Dong simply followed Huo Yuhao. She didn't want to think too much about this aspect. After all, as Tang San's daughter, although she was nominally the young sect master in the Haotian Sect.

But in fact, she had not been exposed to too much cultivation in terms of the ways of the world, or the Haotian Sect had never cared about these.

After all, for the Haotian Sect, absolute strength and two powerful sect masters, plus the ancestor Tang San, were their proud capital. As for the so-called ways of the world? Only other forces relied on their Haotian Sect, and their Haotian Sect never catered to other forces.

"Two gentlemen, the evaluation price of your credit limit and discount amount has come out." The front desk girl said in a gentle and respectful tone.

At the same time, two purple cards were placed on the table: "The evaluation standard for both of you is the highest purple rating in your current grade. The credit limit is 100,000 gold soul coins, which can be used once a year, and needs to be re-evaluated in the second year."

"At the same time, holding this card can enjoy a 10% discount when purchasing any item. In addition to the internal discount of the Treasure Appreciating Conference, this price is much cheaper than the outside world."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and accepted the purple VIP card. Although he didn't have the ridiculously terrifying authority of Huo Yuhao in the original book due to the lack of extreme attributes.

However, in his mind, the level of authority he could obtain this time should be much lower than Wang Dong's. After all, whether it is in his own soul power or soul master functional positioning, or in his usual performance in the academy, it is impossible for his evaluation to be as high as Wang Dong's.

'Is it just because the highest rating in this grade is purple? Or are there other reasons?' The purple card moved back and forth in his hand. Huo Yuhao didn't entangle too much, but said to Ning Tian and the others who had been waiting for a while.

"Okay, everyone, let's continue to visit the Treasure Appreciating Conference."
