Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 35: Body Tempering with Magic Potions, and the Start of the Selection Tournament

Aside from a few high-level Soul Guidance Devices and Soul Bones with ridiculously high prices at the auction, there were still quite a few worthwhile items at the Treasure Appraisal.

For example, some Qi and Blood nourishing pills, or some energy-rich medicinal herbs and Soul Beast body parts. Although Huo Yuhao himself couldn't identify the energy properties, he bought them one by one under Ilex's guidance.

Most of the medicinal herbs and Soul Beast body parts placed in the Treasure Appraisal had been tested by the Jubaoge Pavilion. Most of them could be used directly to strengthen the Soul Master's physical body in different ways, or to increase the cultivation speed of a certain type of Soul Master.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao didn't miss the blackened, sticky, ten-thousand-year Whale Jelly. With the help of Tianmeng Iceworm, Huo Yuhao's own Soul Power continuously transformed Huo Yuhao's physique. Although he was only at level twenty-four, Huo Yuhao's current physical strength far surpassed Soul Masters of the same level.

And if he had this ten-thousand-year Whale Jelly, combined with the magic potions extracted by Ilex from other pills, medicinal herbs, and Soul Beast body parts, Huo Yuhao's physical strength would become even more powerful.

This also meant that Huo Yuhao's body could withstand higher intensity Soul Power circulation, thereby influencing the speed of Soul Power cultivation through the body, until the two were balanced.

As for whether using external objects to increase physical strength had any other negative effects? At least in Huo Yuhao's understanding, in the Douluo Universe, perhaps due to the author's malice, 90% of the side effects of drugs appearing on the protagonist were aphrodisiacs.

Or rather, Qi and Blood agitation, but with the double assistance of Tianmeng Iceworm and Ilex, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't worry about this problem.

The five of them wandered around, mostly watching Huo Yuhao buying things. For Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er, their respective forces behind them naturally took care of their cultivation resources.

Not to mention Ning Tian, as a direct disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the family forces behind Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er also belonged to the outer family of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and naturally had cultivation methods passed down over thousands of years.

Being able to accompany Ning Tian, the young sect master, to study at Shrek Academy, the two of them were naturally highly valued in their families. They certainly wouldn't have to worry about the resources used for cultivation in the early stages of a Soul Master.

Their main purpose for coming here was to follow Ning Tian to win over Huo Yuhao, and at most to see if there were any particularly special treasures in the Treasure Appraisal 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 found that most of them seemed to be medicinal herbs, and they were more inclined towards nourishing Qi and Blood.

Moreover, most of the exhibits displayed here had introductions, and Huo Yuhao had also found records of most of the exhibits in the books he had read in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, which also made it easier for Huo Yuhao to choose.

"Senior Brother!" Suddenly, Wang Dong's eyes lit up and he waved in one direction, and two familiar figures also appeared in Huo Yuhao's sight.

The person Wang Dong was calling was Bei Bei, and standing next to him was a black-clothed youth with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. 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 Soul Fighting Arena was not wasted.

Seeing Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei smiled slightly and walked towards the two of them: "Two junior brothers, long time no see." At the same time, he nodded slightly to Ning Tian and the other three to show his greetings.

Huo Yuhao didn't respond, but walked towards the display case on the side, leaving Wang Dong, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi to chat.

The content of their chat was nothing more than topics about the Tang Sect, and Xu Sanshi's hope that Bei Bei could invite Jiang Nannan to join the Tang Sect in order to create opportunities for him.

As for the nonsense between Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to participate. Originally, it was just a normal transaction, but Xu Sanshi really developed feelings and became a clingy leech.

Moreover, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were only a few years old at the time. This kind of bizarre thing could only be seen in the Douluo Continent.

Ning Tian followed the departing Huo Yuhao alone, while not allowing Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, who had been following her, to come along.

"How is it? Did you see anything else you like this time? I saw that you bought pills and medicinal herbs worth hundreds to thousands of gold soul coins each time. Although they are effective for cultivation, the effect is not obvious and requires long-term use."

"Do you need my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to provide you with a long-term purchase channel? I can give you some extra discounts."

Walking behind Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian's calm and clear voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Tell me about it?" Huo Yuhao looked at the Soul Guidance Device in the display case. It was a defensive type Soul Guidance Device. As a level four Soul Guidance Device, it only required the strength of a Great Soul Master to barely use it, while a Soul Elder could use it freely.

"I can sponsor you in my own personal capacity. The level of sponsorship can be the same as Jubaoge Pavilion's investment in you. The condition is that you owe me a favor in Shrek Academy. How about this condition?"

Huo Yuhao showed the purple card in his hand to purchase this Soul Guidance Device, and at the same time asked the staff on the side to pack this level four Soul Guidance Device called the Glazed Tile Shield and send it to Shrek Academy, before turning his head to look at Ning Tian.

"A favor, that sounds light and airy. With my current ability, I shouldn't be enough to enter the sights of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"That's natural." Ning Tian replied with a smile: "So this is my personal optimism about you, not the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's investment in a rogue Soul Master."

"I have a feeling that with your ability, the final investment result will definitely make my efforts worthwhile."

"Moreover, the Tang Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School have always had a good relationship. Although the Tang Sect is now down and out due to various reasons, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will still help as much as possible if we can."

"Okay, thank you for your generosity, Miss Ning Tian. Then I will accept it." Huo Yuhao didn't continue to decline: "Then I will sort out what I need and come back to find you later."

"Okay." The smile on Ning Tian's face remained unchanged: "There is also a Chamber of Commerce of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in Shrek City. You can go directly to hand over at that time, and just mention my name."

Huo Yuhao nodded. Looking at Ning Tian's appearance, it was estimated that she had done this kind of thing a lot in Shrek Academy. After all, for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, there were probably a lot of internal struggles.

As the Young Sect Master, Ning Tian would only bear greater pressure than others, and be more precocious. It was normal for him to use the resources at his disposal to cultivate his own connections, or to subdue some subordinates.

After the two had discussed things, they returned to the booth where Wang Dong and the others were. It was quite lively at this time, as Jiang Nan Nan was once again being pestered by Xu San Shi.

Seeing the undisguised disgust in Jiang Nan Nan's eyes towards Xu San Shi, Huo Yuhao curled his lips and directly pulled away Wang Dong, who was watching the show from the side.

Wang Dong watched Xu San Shi being kicked far away by Jiang Nan Nan, and clicked his tongue.

"Let's go, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest. School really starts tomorrow. The harvest from this Treasure Appraisal Meet was not bad, barely passable."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong and walked out.

In his opinion, Xu San Shi deserved it. Originally, everyone had finished their transactions, and after that, they would be strangers, out of sight, out of mind. But he actually insisted on going up to get beaten, wasn't that purely disgusting?

After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left the Treasure Appraisal Meet, they strolled around Shrek City. Mainly, Wang Dong was pulling Huo Yuhao, after all, she had been hungry for a whole day and night, and had only eaten some of the food Huo Yuhao brought to fill her stomach.

For Soul Masters at this stage, before they can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to convert it into Soul Power, the conversion of Soul Power requires a large amount of energy from the Soul Master themselves. The energy consumed by the things Wang Dong ate before was not enough for her to use.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to Shrek Academy. Because they didn't get involved in the forced pretense and face-slapping, and didn't make a bet with Dai Huabin, the side plot of the assassin's assassination that lost his mind in the original work was naturally not triggered.

In Shrek Academy and near Shrek City, a few Soul Emperors and Soul Kings dared to assassinate the core disciples of Shrek Academy? Were they really brainless death warriors? Did they lose their brains after cultivating to the fifth and sixth rings?

Moreover, they chose the time when the Treasure Appraisal Meet was being held. During this period, many Title Douluos in Shrek City and Shrek Academy were secretly patrolling. After all, those who participated in the Treasure Appraisal Meet were all potential seeds among the outer court disciples.

If someone really caused trouble at this time and wiped out these potential seeds, it could be said that Shrek Academy would be directly cut off.

Although a normal person would not provoke Shrek at this time, to touch the tiger's butt, Shrek would naturally not fail to take any precautions because of this. At least the city lord of Shrek City, the Elder who controlled the Jupao Pavilion, were all watching.

The next two days were very calm. Because it was a new semester, the things that the entire grade needed to prepare and learn were relatively numerous.

However, these preparations and learning content were not very effective for Huo Yuhao and some students who had forces behind them.

Huo Yuhao was because he had already gnawed through all the books in the outer court of Shrek Academy, while those students naturally had elders in their families and sects teaching them during the holidays. The only ones who might be tormented were the commoner students.

These days, Huo Yuhao had been processing the medicinal herbs, Soul Beast body tissues, and elixirs he bought from the Jupao Pavilion.

Although in the academy, Illyasviel could not directly help Huo Yuhao to refine the magic medicine, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

But as a God of Magic, Illyasviel naturally had his own unique methods, that is, he directly used Huo Yuhao's body as a carrier to refine and fuse these materials.

Through a specific order and pharmacology, he directly had Huo Yuhao use Soul Power to wrap up the processed medicinal herbs, Soul Beast body tissues, and elixirs and swallow them, and then use mental power and Soul Power to sort them out and fuse them in Huo Yuhao's body.

Although this process was extremely difficult, with Huo Yuhao's already unobstructed physique, Illyasviel's powerful control, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's huge spiritual origin as a backup energy source, it was finally successful.

Feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power in his body and the feeling of being able to grasp everything in his hands, Huo Yuhao understood that this was just an illusion.

Because at this moment, the medicinal power of the magic medicine, which was mixed with ten thousand year whale glue, medicinal herbs, Soul Beast body tissues, and elixirs, was still hidden in Huo Yuhao's dantian, constantly nourishing Huo Yuhao's body.

According to Illyasviel, the grade of this magic medicine, according to the strength division on the Holy Magic Continent, should be considered a fifth-grade magic medicine, and it was also the kind that was relatively outstanding among the fifth-grade magic medicines.

With Huo Yuhao's current physical fitness, if he could completely absorb it, even if he didn't do anything else, his body strength could directly cross over to the Soul Grandmaster, close to the Soul Ancestor level.

Moreover, with the energy supply of this magic medicine, before the medicinal effect disappeared, any physical damage Huo Yuhao suffered or the hidden injuries he suffered during the duration of the magic medicine would recover to a perfect state at an extremely fast speed.

This was also why Huo Yuhao felt that the power in his body was endless, because at this moment, with the help of the magic medicine's effect, his body strength was enough to support him to do some things that crossed his current Soul Power realm, which led to an incorrect understanding of his own body's power.

In Zhou Yi's office, the core disciples of Class One of the second grade had already arrived at this time. So many people crowded in this small office, it still seemed a bit crowded.

Zhou Yi nodded and said to these core disciples: "I called you here today because there is a special situation to inform you."

"Three days later, the outer court will hold a core disciple selection competition. Originally, it had nothing to do with our second grade, but the academy suddenly decided to let the core disciples of our second grade also participate in the selection, so you all have to be prepared."

Hearing this, the disciples all discussed with each other: "Strange, didn't you say there was still a class selection competition?"

"Yeah, I thought we only needed to send seven people at most, do we all have to go?"

"."

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't avoid it. Although there was the Chicken Leg Douluo Xuanzi, the Gold of Life was still waiting for him. This time, he definitely had to enter the Shrek Reserve Team. After all, the Gold of Life's effect on Illyasviel and himself was self-evident, and he had to get it.
