Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 20 Pill
"you're awake?"

An old man dressed in white appeared in Huo Yuhao's field of vision, with seven soul rings pulsating behind him, and a phantom sapling full of life standing beside him.

As the soul skill was activated, glowing leaves fell and merged into Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's bodies, repairing their injuries. A small portion of the excess energy even helped them recover their soul power.

"Well……"

Huo Yuhao shook his dazed head and just as he sat up, he bumped into the wooden stick beside him.

This is?

The ordinary wooden stick was now engraved with three strange patterns, exuding a familiar aura.

'It looks exactly like that gray cloud!'

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.

Did he save both of us?

Just as he was lost in thought, the old man beside him interrupted his thoughts: "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"It's all right now."

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Huo Yuhao stretched his shoulders, his gaze falling on Wang Dong: "Why hasn't he woken up yet? By the way, who exactly was that guy on the lake earlier—"

"cough!"

The Soul Saint coughed heavily: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Remember, neither of you saw anything tonight. As for him, he should wake up in a little while."

"But that person!"

Huo Yuhao's face darkened.

The attacker was clearly an inner court student, and he even tried to kill them both. If it weren't for the mysterious senior in the Sea of ​​Spirit, they would probably have really perished here.

"Expel him/her."

The Soul Saint met his gaze with cold eyes for a few seconds, then his expression suddenly softened: "Or perhaps you should forget about these things."

As he spoke, he first took out two green objects, then looked at Huo Yuhao's unpleasant expression, and sighed before exchanging them for two small bottles: "This is compensation from the academy. You should accept it! Don't make things difficult for this old man."

What I fear most are young people who are clueless about social interactions, who are inflexible and don't know how to adapt, and neither carrots nor sticks work.

"Ah."

Huo Yuhao remained silent for a few seconds, but ultimately chose to accept it.

No matter what, he's still studying at Shrek Academy. If he really clashes with high-ranking figures, things could get tough for him in the next few years.

Even if they were resentful, they had no choice but to admit defeat under the current circumstances.

"Where is he?"

The old man glanced at Wang Dong.

"I'll try to persuade them." Huo Yuhao immediately understood and nodded.

That's good~
The old man in white smiled with satisfaction, turned around, and swiftly swept across the lake, disappearing into the night.

When Wang Dong woke up, he only saw Huo Yuhao sitting by the lake, holding a wooden stick and looking at the scenery.

"Huo Yuhao? Where's that guy who attacked us earlier?!"

Wang Dong was taken aback at first, then his eyes quickly scanned his surroundings.

"Those were people from the Inner Court, so naturally they were taken away by the Inner Court teachers."

Huo Yuhao's voice was low and his mood was somewhat downcast. After speaking, he tossed a small bottle into Wang Dong's arms: "This is the compensation they offered, but I don't know what's inside."

compensation?

Wang Dong raised his eyebrows, opened the door and peeked inside. His expression suddenly froze, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Mystic Water Pills? They actually gave us so many!"

"What is that? Oh, right, there's another bottle here, take a look too."

"Soul Ascension Pill!"

Wang Dong exclaimed again, his hands trembling as he held the bottle: "This...this is all compensation?" Five Profound Water Pills and two Soul Ascension Pills—the entire continent probably produces no more than a hundred of these every year.

These two bottles of pills alone are worth more than 100,000 gold soul coins.

"Shrek is really rich and powerful."

Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh.

"A lot of money was lost?"

Huo Yuhao, leaning on the wooden stick, wondered where his excitement came from: "By the way, they also said they would keep today's events a secret and not spread them around."

"Nonsense...of course we lost more money."

Wang Dong sighed softly, "The Xuan Shui Pill in this bottle can increase one level of innate soul power! It can also improve one's physique by clearing the meridians and marrow."

Enhance innate soul power and improve physical constitution.

Huo Yuhao blinked, unable to muster any excitement, and only gave a polite "Wow".

It's not that he doesn't care about these things at all, it's just that the blessing given by that deity earlier was far more effective than this elixir.

With the blessing as a foundation, the shock brought by the Xuan Shui Dan was naturally not so great.

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

Wang Dong's face darkened, and he shook another bottle: "There's also this bottle, Soul Ascension Pills! This stuff can bring the equivalent of a level 30 Soul Master increasing their Soul Power by one level. If you put it in a first-ring Soul Master's bottle, it can instantly increase their Soul Power by at least three levels!"

interesting.

Huo Yuhao mentally estimated that this pill would probably raise him to level nineteen on the spot, and he could add a second soul ring if he took another step forward.

"Understood. Give me one Soul Ascension Pill first, and you can keep the rest for yourself."

?

Wang Dong was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened and his voice rose a few decibels: "I said it can enhance innate soul power! Didn't you hear me! You don't want this?"

"heard it……"

Huo Yuhao picked at his ear with a helpless expression: "But this thing probably won't be of much use to me. You should keep it for yourself."

"Humph!"

Wang Dong snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take advantage of others? Considering your low soul power level, you get three Xuan Shui Pills and I get two. That's settled! No room for discussion."

……

Three hours later.

Sitting on the bed, Huo Yuhao reluctantly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of clear, misty air. His soul power had only increased to about half a level, and his cultivation speed had not increased at all.

'I told you it wouldn't be very effective~'

Huo Yuhao looked somewhat helpless.

Perhaps because his body had already been thoroughly cleansed during the blessing ceremony, the effects of cleansing his meridians and marrow were not fully apparent in Huo Yuhao, only causing him to break out in a light sweat.

The same goes for cultivation talent; I didn't feel any change at all.

But think about it.

To think that a mere elixir can compare to divine blessings is simply too far off.

The reason why Huo Yuhao wasn't immediately given innate level 20 soul power was simply because Qian Renxue was about to disappear and had no energy left; otherwise, she could have even equipped him with soul rings.

"One Xuan Shui Pill can only raise your level by half a level at most; consuming more will only have a smaller effect."

Pointing at the two coins remaining in his hand, Huo Yuhao planned to find a way to exchange them for other resources, or at the very least, for gold soul coins, so as to avoid being short of money in the future.

"Next, let's try the Soul Ascension Pill."

Huo Yuhao put the green pill into his mouth and closed his eyes again.

The Soul Ascension Pill is produced by high-level plant-type Soul Masters. The soul power it contains does not have any additional attributes and is accompanied by a tiny bit of life force. It does not require any so-called refining. You only need to directly integrate the added soul power into yourself.
