Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world, I start by becoming Yao Lao's app

Chapter 27 The Old Master Yao Makes His Move, First Glimpse of Alchemy!

"Mmm..."

On the wooden bed, Ma Xiaotao shifted slightly and murmured, "It's so cold."

She opened her eyes; her pupils were pale pink, the original bloodshot color gone.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's eyes held a slight hint of doubt as she muttered to herself, "Strange, why is it so cold?"

"Xiao Tao, you almost made a terrible mistake this time! But perhaps by chance, an external ice-attribute power surged into your body, sealing the evil fire within you. Do you remember what you encountered after you rushed out of the Sea God Lake?" A white-robed old man said at Ma Xiao Tao's bedside.

"I don't remember. I only remember a flash of red, followed by an icy chill that froze me. Then I was back here," Ma Xiaotao said, shaking her head. "Teacher, what kind of power could suppress my Phoenix Evil Fire?"

The white-robed elder pondered for a moment and said, "That is an extremely high level of ice attribute, its purity far surpasses your Phoenix Evil Fire. You almost killed an outer court student this time. I originally thought that the one who froze you was his protector, but he was just an orphan with average talent and no powerful background. He was only allowed to enroll because he happened to find a Shrekian Token."

"Teacher, what's the name of this student from the outer academy you mentioned?" Ma Xiaotao asked, her eyes shining brightly.

"Class monitor of Class 9, freshmen, Huo Yuhao."

Compared to yesterday's classes, today's classes were much easier for the students in Class 9. Both the morning and afternoon were theoretical classes; the morning was about classifying martial spirits, and the afternoon was about identifying the age of soul beasts.

Many students, due to their family background in academics, did not pay much attention to these two courses. But Huo Yuhao was different; he listened very attentively and took many notes.

Compared to other students, he lacked not only cultivation but also knowledge. Whenever he had free time, he would immerse himself in the Shrek Academy library, systematically learning about this continent.

Although he, as a reader who had read the original work, possessed an understanding of the history, culture, and knowledge of the entire Douluo Continent that surpassed his own era, what that person described was merely the tip of the iceberg of this world.

Huo Yuhao needs to enrich the framework he already has in his memory with a large amount of knowledge, which is crucial for his future development.

In the evening, Huo Yuhao pushed his cart out to set up his stall as usual, and business was even more booming than yesterday.

After all, he had already won over the taste buds of a large portion of the students with his barbecue yesterday, and his fame had spread throughout Shrek Academy.

However, Huo Yuhao had the foresight to have Lao Mo order 50% more barbecue ingredients, which prevented a situation where supply could not meet demand.

Today's barbecue king is a ten-year-old soul beast, the Black-striped Pig. These soul beasts are quite numerous and usually move in groups. However, they are more than twice the size of pigs raised by humans, making them ideal for roast suckling pig.

It's worth mentioning that Xu Sanshi spent 3,000 gold soul coins to bid for this roast suckling pig today, and also voluntarily handed over the remaining two Xuan Shui Pills and the 10,000 gold soul coins used to purchase the lyrics of Mercury Chronicle to Huo Yuhao.

Besides himself, the roast suckling pig also invited Beibei and Tangya to eat together.

After all, the two of them had said a lot of good things about Xu Sanshi during yesterday's incident, and Xu Sanshi obediently took the initiative to treat them to a meal to thank them.

Of course, after finishing the meal, Xu Sanshi pulled Beibei aside and carefully inquired about Beibei's so-called secrets to picking up girls before leaving satisfied.

Finally, after finishing all the work at the barbecue stall, Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel. Closing the door, Yao Lao appeared from his ring.

"Yuhao, you're going to make headlines this time," Yao Lao chuckled. "But after honing your skills for so long, with your accumulated strength finally coming to fruition, there won't be any instability in your cultivation level. You can focus on improving your cultivation."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then handed the Soul Ascension Pill he had obtained during the day to Yao Lao.

"Teacher, this Soul-Ascending Pill seems to be made from the sap of a plant with extremely strong vitality. Please take a look."

Then, Huo Yuhao took out a Xuan Shui Pill from his storage ring and placed it in his palm.

The Xuan Shui Dan (玄水丹) was a deep blue color, about the size of a cherry, with many white veins of varying shades on its surface. After being poured out of the porcelain bottle, a thin layer of mist enveloped the elixir. It carried a refreshing fragrance that was truly delightful.

The Soul-Ascending Pill in the old apothecary's hand was about the size of a walnut, with a translucent, emerald-green, gelatinous outer shell. Inside the shell, a faint halo seemed to flow, crystal clear and full of life.

The old apothecary took the Soul-Ascending Pill and examined it. He shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and said, "If the so-called Mysterious Water Pill can only be called a pill, the Soul-Ascending Pill doesn't even qualify as one. It's clearly just some kind of precious wood-attribute herb that's been crudely purified and then poured into a gelatinous shell. Look, if you look closely through the light, you can even see some plant residue inside."

"Give me that Profound Water Pill as well. I will purify and refine both pills, and with the remaining herbs and soul beast essence blood, I should be able to enhance some of their medicinal power."

Huo Yuhao nodded and handed the Profound Water Pill to Yao Lao as well. Yao Lao then took out some herbs he had picked in the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the remaining soul beast essence blood from refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir, from his black ring.

A moment later, the old man gently exhaled, and a slightly pale flame suddenly rose up on his left palm.

As soon as the flames appeared, the temperature in the room dropped significantly.

With a calm expression, the white flame in the old medicine master's hand flickered slightly, engulfing the Profound Water Pill. In just two breaths, the Profound Water Pill was refined into a small ball of blue liquid.

Then, the old man of medicine broke the outer shell of the Soul Ascension Pill, letting the green liquid inside flow out and merge with the blue liquid transformed from the Profound Water Pill.

The blue and green liquids merged together, and under the refinement of the white flames in Yao Lao's palm, they slowly transformed into a ball of clear, cyan liquid.

The cyan liquid, as blue as the finest jade, writhed continuously in the flames, with impurities turning into wisps of black smoke that constantly escaped from it.

As the white flames burned, the volume of the blue liquid shrank smaller and smaller, and after a short while, it was only about the size of a thumb.

Next, the old doctor threw several medicinal herbs and two bottles of soul beast blood into the white flames, and after they were burned, they melted into the blue liquid.

These steps lasted for about an hour, but the old doctor still looked energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.

Finally, the white flames in Yao Lao's palm gradually subsided until they disappeared completely. In his palm, a single, crystalline, azure droplet, emitting a strange fragrance, floated.

"Alright, today I will use the most extreme methods to temper all the muscles and meridians in your body. Afterwards, soak in the Foundation Building Elixir and take this drop of the elixir for optimal effect."

Huo Yuhao's face fell. Of course, he knew what Yao Lao meant by the ultimate tempering.

Looks like he's in for a lot of trouble tonight.
