Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 204 Obsession

Although it was dusk, it was still bright outside the window, which is rare in winter.

After confirming with Zi Yan that Huo Yuhao was alright, Su Qian finally felt a sense of relief, but many questions still lingered in her mind.

At this moment, he is buried in his desk, dealing with a mountain of files.

With the holidays approaching, Canaan College is exceptionally busy.

Arranging for students to go home for the holidays, handling the graduation matters of senior students in the inner courtyard, and drafting the enrollment plan for the following year—he had to personally review and approve each and every one of these matters.

"Hmm—Hu Qian thinks that we can consider raising the admission standards appropriately next year—" He was flipping through a report, his pen tracing the words on the paper.

Just then, without warning, ripples appeared in the space in front of the desk, like waves on water, and a figure quietly emerged, as if stepping out of nothingness.

"Who?!" Su Qian looked up abruptly, his fighting spirit instantly gathering around him. Only when he saw the face of the person who had come into view did he relax and let out a long sigh of relief.

"So it's Elder Huo—you haven't given me a single word these past few days, where have you been?"

"Something came up, so I went home for a bit." Huo Yuhao's voice was calm, as if he had just gone out for a walk.

Su Qian carefully examined Huo Yuhao and noticed that although his expression remained normal, the sunset made his brows appear more solemn than usual.

Su Qian couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did something happen? All your divine sense clones scattered that day—"

"It's nothing serious." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and got straight to the point.

"Elder, I have come to discuss something with you. I plan to relocate my entire family to Peace Town. What do you think of this?"

"Relocate to Peace Town?" Su Qian pondered for a moment, then tapped the table lightly with her fingertips. "That's perfectly fine. The academy has always welcomed the relatives of our mentors to settle nearby."

"Besides my family, other families will also migrate here."

Huo Yuhao clearly had more plans: "My plan is to expand Peace Town and build a larger city."

"In that case—" Su Qian stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "The academy is about to have its holiday, so how about we use this time after the holiday to build this new city?"

"Okay." Huo Yuhao replied, pulling over a chair to sit down. "By the way, a few days ago, on behalf of the academy, I reached a long-term trade agreement with the Gama Empire. We can regularly purchase large quantities of rare ores from the empire at 80% of the market price."

The batch of magical artifacts he had promised to provide to the royal family of the Gama Empire had already been delivered. Therefore, the only remaining item in the transaction that he brought back to the academy was the purchase of ores at a low price.

"Oh? That's a good thing!" A glint flashed in Su Qian's eyes. He immediately opened the drawer, took out a blank scroll, and dipped his brush in ink.

"This is perfect for providing to Lin Xiuya and his weapon alliance. Elder Huo, you have no idea how crazy those guys have been lately."

"Many of those students who broke through to the Dou Wang level and were preparing to graduate were pulled down from the Strong Ranking by Lin Xiuya and his group." Su Qian said while taking notes, recounting some interesting stories from the academy.

"They really work very hard." Huo Yuhao didn't pay much attention to his classmates.

"This newly built city can serve as a transit point for this transaction."

"In the future, the academy can also use this city to more easily trade with other forces and sell some of the academy's specialties to the outside world."

Huo Yuhao continued to explain the plan he had conceived over the past two days.

"Specialty products?" Su Qian paused, a drop of ink spreading out on the scroll. When did the academy, besides training students, acquire specialty products available for large-scale trade?

"The supply of low-grade spiritual artifacts that the Artifact Alliance is currently producing is already exceeding the demand within the academy."

Huo Yuhao explained, "These spiritual artifacts are of stable quality and can be sold to the outside world to obtain more resources for the academy."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question that was on her mind: "Elder Huo, you previously allowed the students to take the weapon-refining techniques back to their respective families to study."

"In that case, it probably won't be long before the methods for crafting these low-level spiritual artifacts spread. Will they still have any value then?"

"That's not the case." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"The reason why this batch of members of the Weapon Alliance were able to quickly get started and make rapid progress is largely because I used my own soul to repair their soul damage, which greatly improved their soul perception and control precision."

Huo Yuhao paused, then said with certainty, "For the vast majority of people outside, while the art of weapon crafting doesn't have an absolute talent threshold, it still requires some soul power and is by no means a skill that can be easily mastered."

As for Lin Xiuan, Yan Hao, and other early core members, it was because they received the Concentration Technique from Huo Yuhao at an early age.

With Huo Yuhao's dedicated guidance, he was able to grow at an astonishing speed, far ahead of the entire Weapon Alliance.

"In addition, it's not just about magical artifacts," Huo Yuhao added.

"Pills, some medicinal herbs produced in the spirit fields, or other resources that the academy has surplus can all be considered for inclusion in the trade list."

Su Qian put down her pen, pondered for a moment, and looked up at Huo Yuhao.

"Elder Huo, you seem to have quite a few new plans in mind this time, right? How about we hold an elders' meeting tomorrow to discuss them together?"

It must be said that Su Qian's perception was extremely sharp. Huo Yuhao indeed had many ideas and hoped that the academy could implement them quickly.

Initially, Huo Yuhao thought that after the academy built many basic training facilities, it was on the right track and he no longer needed to worry about it.

But after his experience at Yunlan Sect, he felt more and more that his previous ideas were not perfect enough.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "There isn't enough time. I'll be leaving the Northwest Continent tomorrow for the Central State, and I don't know when I'll be able to return."

"I see—" A look of understanding flashed in Su Qian's eyes.

Next, Huo Yuhao began to explain his ideas and plans to Su Qian in more detail.

Huo Yuhao was preparing to hand over a special secret scroll to the academy's alchemy department.

This secret technique was an unfinished product that he accidentally derived while studying the secret techniques created by Xiao Yan.

It possesses a certain power to temper the soul, and can enhance the cultivator's soul strength.

Its most important effect is that it allows cultivators to directly release and utilize their soul power in a way similar to "spiritual power"!

"In that case—" Huo Yuhao explained to Su Qian, who had sat up straight.

"It can not only help existing alchemists control flames more easily and increase the success rate of alchemy."

"More importantly, it lowers the barrier to becoming an alchemist."

According to Huo Yuhao's research, anyone who cultivates this secret technique, as long as they can control a type of flame—whether it's their own fire-attribute battle qi, refined beast fire, or even a strange fire—

Then there is hope of successfully entering the hall of alchemists, thus freeing oneself from the constraint of "not being able to accurately control flames without wood-attribute battle qi".
