Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 9, Question 09: Boss, is your roast duck made of gold?

"I didn't expect Brother Zhongli to be so popular. He can meet someone he clicks with while just strolling around the Star Dou Great Forest."

Huo Yuhao, who left with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out what was on his mind.

Upon hearing this, Beibei stroked her chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"Indeed, Brother Zhongli's words and actions seem to have been meticulously crafted, leaving no room for criticism."

"Moreover, his voice subtly gives people a sense of security; even a normal stranger would feel a sense of goodwill towards him."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with some surprise, not expecting their senior brother (Bei Bei) to have such a high opinion of Zhong Li.

"It's a pity that his innate soul power is relatively low, so he can't become a powerful soul master."

Beibei shook her head and said bluntly.

Speaking of innate soul power, Huo Yuhao frowned, feeling immense pressure.

"Senior Brother Beibei, my... my innate soul power is not high either, only level one."

"I……"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, his tone somewhat forlorn.

He feared he wouldn't be able to become a powerful Soul Master, and thus wouldn't be able to avenge his mother.

Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Yuhao, your martial soul is your original martial soul. If it awakens a second time in the future, it will definitely improve your talent."

"Besides, there are drugs in this world that can change one's talent."

At this point, Beibei thought of someone, who was considered his good brother.

"For the sake of my junior brother, I have no choice but to make things difficult for my good brother."

Beibei thought to herself.

Xu Sanshi, far away at Shrek Academy, couldn't help but sneeze, feeling somewhat at a loss.

How could a powerful Soul Master, especially one with water attributes, catch a cold?

Stop joking!

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had opened up a new world, but then he seemed to think of something and frowned again.

My pockets are empty; how expensive are the drugs that can change one's talents!
Is this something Huo Yuhao can afford to spend?

Huo Yuhao's mouth was slightly open, but he ultimately did not speak.

He already owes Beibei and Tangya enough; he can't trouble them any further.

Seeing this, Bei Bei simply patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

He made no promises, but he would prove with his actions that Huo Yuhao had not chosen the wrong sect.

"Yuhao, there's still a distance to Shrek Academy. I'll teach you the core technique of my Tang Sect, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, first. During this time, you should cultivate diligently."

"Yes, Senior Brother Bei Bei!"

Time flies, and a few days later it was over.

Shrek City is a city directly under the jurisdiction of Shrek Academy.

It has no relation to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The world seems to be in a cycle. Ten thousand years ago, Wuhun City was the same, directly under the Wuhun Hall, and had nothing to do with the two great empires.

The dragon-slaying youth eventually becomes a dragon himself, and Shrek Academy is even more superior than the Spirit Hall.

"Senior Zhongli, this is Shrek City, and its prosperity is even comparable to that of Nine Treasures City."

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School also has its own directly subordinate cities, but they are under the jurisdiction of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, even if it's only nominal jurisdiction.
It should be noted that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is the wealthiest sect in the entire Douluo Continent, and one can imagine how prosperous its territory is!

But Shrek City is even better than it, and that is Shrek Academy.

Wow, it's so bustling!

Paimon's eyes widened, and he whispered, "Paimon wants to find something delicious to eat!"

Everyone: "..."

Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, his amber eyes surveying Shrek City.

This place is indeed prosperous, even surpassing Liyue Harbor in terms of population size.

Moreover, the people living here seem to be "born into wealth".

Yes, without a large amount of gold soul coins, it's impossible to survive in Shrek City.

You should know that renting a regular room here costs 1,000 gold soul coins per month!

This only covers rent; food and other necessities are included. Of course, Shrek City is much safer than other cities, even though it's closest to the Star Dou Great Forest and a beast tide might occur.

The Douluo Continent has no shortage of nobles, and Shrek City has no shortage of residents.

Just then, Paimon sniffed the air, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew to the door of a shop.

"Boss, how much is your roast duck?"

There were no customers in the store at the moment. The owner looked up at Paimon and was slightly surprised.

Paimon has a "white" spirit ring on her body, and she's so small, she's definitely not human.

So, she must have a separated martial soul.

Those who can make it in Shrek City are more or less Soul Masters or nobles, and they all have a normal sense of judgment.

"Little guy, you're so cute, I'll give you ten gold soul coins."

The boss was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a plump and prosperous appearance.

Paimon: “???”

"Ten gold soul coins?"

The current Paimon is not the same Paimon as before; she now understands the purchasing power of Soul Coins.

One gold soul coin is enough to live happily in some small cities for a month.

Ten gold soul coins for a roast duck?

"Boss, is your roast duck made of gold?"

Subconsciously, Paimon asked the boss.

These words stunned the boss.

He is a food-type Soul King, and these roast ducks were all made by his Martial Soul.

Under normal circumstances, one costs twenty gold soul coins.

Besides, this is Shrek City, where prices are ridiculously high. He can't afford to pay the rent if he doesn't sell at a higher price.

"Excuse me, sir."

"Little Paimon did it unintentionally. It was her first time in Shrek City, and she didn't understand these things."

Ning Tian wiped his hand on the storage soul tool, and twenty gold soul coins were placed on the table.

"Let's buy a roast duck, at the original price."

As a support-type Soul Master and the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she naturally understood the intricacies of these roast ducks.

This food-type Soul Master is something else.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper forced a smile and said, "It's alright. It's normal for people who come to Shrek City for the first time... well, including those with such peculiar martial souls, not to know the market prices."

“I said I’d sell them for ten gold soul coins each, and I won’t go back on my word. Here are twenty gold soul coins; I’ll give these little guys three.”

The boss said very generously.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a strange martial spirit. Since it was a business with no cost, why not get a discount and even give it away for free?
"what?"

Paimon counted on his fingers, looked at the boss with some confusion, and then looked at Ning Tian.

"Thank you, boss. You're such a kind person."

"Thank you, Ning Tian!"

"You wouldn't believe it, Zhongli found..."

"Cough cough!!"

"Zhongli, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. The weather is fluctuating between hot and cold, so you probably caught a cold."

Zhongli stared at Paimon and said.

Picking up trash, huh?
Little Paimon!
Ning Tian turned his head to look at Zhong Li, his eyes lighting up.

Being short of money, he would rather scavenge other people's belongings in the Starry Sky Forest than go astray.

This senior Zhongli was truly of noble character.

Being short of money is fine, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is never short of money!
