Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 453 Junior Brother, please wait a moment, let me drop some gold coins before you go.
After Huo Yuhao's painstaking explanation, Xue Di reluctantly accepted the fact that Huo Yuhao had first stumbled upon a million-year-old ice silkworm, and later, with Tianmeng's help, used his own remains to trap Bing Di, tricking her into becoming his second martial soul and residing in his spiritual sea. He also demanded that whenever Bing Di woke up, she would see her as soon as possible.

As for Chen Ping, after listening to Huo Yuhao recount his experiences over the years in detail, his professional instincts kicked in, and he wanted to extract some gold coins from Huo Yuhao as well.

If he remembered correctly, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the original novel never used its own remains to keep Huo Yuhao warm and prevent him from freezing to death in the far north, nor did it use its own remains to trap the Ice Emperor. It never appeared again until it ascended to the God Realm.

However, the fact that the Ice Silkworm's remains were never used again after the original story does not change the fact that Tianmeng's remains are a genuine treasure!

This is the remains of the Ice Emperor, who at the time had a cultivation level of 399,000 years, was in the far north, and whose combat power was at its peak!

By the way, this thing's toughness and defensive capabilities are also top-notch. After all, if Chen Ping remembers correctly, Huo Yuhao in the original story was once stepped on by the Titan Snow Demon King like an ant without him noticing. If it weren't for the remains helping to block it, he would probably be dead.

Chen Ping personally speculated that its value, even if it couldn't compare to the Black Dragon's Reverse Scale from the Heavenly Emperor or the whale pearl in the Demon Whale King's head, was at most only half a level below that of a supreme treasure.

Anyway, Chen Ping never saw Huo Yuhao use this treasure later on, so why not borrow it and see if he can modify it into a magic weapon-type soul tool, just like the Conferred God Platform that could trap the energy-state Snow Empress, and modify it into a soul tool specifically for trapping people.

Chen Ping was also straightforward and asked Huo Yuhao directly if he could exchange something else for the remains left by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to make a soul tool. However, after thinking about it, he realized that he didn't seem to have any equipment of equal value to exchange for Huo Yuhao.

He had many valuable items, but almost none that could compare to the value of the Tianmeng Remains.

Whether it's a soul-guided exoskeleton or even the Vast Ocean Universe Tower of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, these little gadgets are only good for giving away as gifts. If you want to exchange them for something that can seal the remains of the Ice Emperor in his prime, they're way too inferior.

So much so that Chen Ping could only scratch his head helplessly. If he really wanted to get the remains in Huo Yuhao's hands, he would probably have to go to the Sun Moon Empire to get two level-nine soul tools first, and then use those level-nine soul tools to exchange for the remains with Huo Yuhao.

"Remains?"

After Chen Ping said that, Huo Yuhao immediately took out the semi-transparent remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm when it became a million-year-old soul beast.

Just as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian loses a black dragon scale every 100,000 years when he undergoes a heavenly tribulation, the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm are also produced once every 100,000 years.

However, the first nine remains were abandoned in some ice cave, leaving only this million-year-old remains, the only one left after the million-year-old soul beast survived its tribulation.

The remains before me were as thin as cicada wings and as smooth as jade. Although they did not have the dazzling brilliance or the imposing energy fluctuations I had imagined, the fact that they could withstand the Ice Emperor's pincers and the Jade Scorpion's tail hook without being damaged, and that they were impervious to water and fire, made them a priceless treasure.

“Well, if Brother Chen wants it, I can give you this remains. After all, you helped me get two valuable level-eight defensive soul tools for free. But this is Brother Tianmeng’s remains. In any case, I should wait for Brother Tianmeng to wake up and ask him what he thinks.”

"If this remains can be of greater use in your hands, Brother Chen, I think Brother Tianmeng would be happy to give it to you. After all, with my current cultivation level, I wouldn't need this remains to keep warm when I go to the far north." If it weren't for meeting the Snow Emperor this time, and Huo Yuhao happened to mention the remains while recalling his past experiences, he doubted he would have remembered this remains in his entire life.

So for him, if Chen Ping really needed this remains, he wouldn't have any objections as long as Tianmeng agreed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up: "Alright, just for what you said, I'll try to get you a list-engraving knife in a couple of years, and also get you one or two level-nine soul tools. Consider it a gift from your senior brother."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was shocked. Could a mere remnant really be comparable to a list-carving knife, plus one or two level-nine soul tools?
The List Carving Knife is a treasure with only one hundred of them in the entire continent. Shrek Academy still can't provide one for each of its three level-eight Soul Masters.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who was still in awe of Xue Di's soul, overjoyed at Yi Lao's resurrection, and shocked by the generous gift Chen Ping promised, Chen Ping was only thinking about one thing: whether he should take advantage of the fact that so many of his classmates were at Haotian Sect and also make a trip there himself.

Based on Chen Ping and Electrolux's assessment, Tang San, currently being intercepted by the elves, was probably unaware of Chen Ping's presence as a troublemaker.

Moreover, after the incident with the Jade Bed of Ten Thousand Years, Tang San will most likely conclude that Electrolux, this extraterrestrial divine soul, is completely dead, and his plan will be back on track.

Under these circumstances, going to the Haotian Sect at this time is not a crazy move at all, but rather an attempt where the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Intelligence, and more intelligence. For Chen Ping right now, nothing is more important than intelligence.

For Chen Ping, visiting the Haotian Sect at this time is definitely less risky than going there five or ten years later.

This opportunity for a group of guests to visit the Haotian Sect together will likely never come again, and this chance to be like being in the darkest hour will also be hard to come by again.

He now has Elder Yi, whose soul has recovered to an excellent state because he was nurtured for a year in advance, and Xue Di, whose power has been sealed in his body almost without any omissions, as a backup plan.

Even if something really goes wrong, he's not completely helpless.

If he could find any odds and ends about Tang San left behind at the Clear Sky Sect and analyze them, they might become one of his solutions when he encounters Tang San in the future.

After all, since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School already possesses a depleted divine-given soul ring and a rubbing of the core formation diagram of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Clear Sky School, which is from the same era as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, should theoretically also have some valuable items.

With this in mind, Chen Ping returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, found his guest room, briefly explained things to Ning Tianwu Feng, and then hung up a sign indicating that he was going into seclusion. Using the undead demiplane as a springboard, he and Huo Yuhao arrived at a town quite a distance from the Haotian School with two teleports.
