Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 26 Heaven Dou City, Jiang Nannan

Huo Yuhao glanced at the three options, quickly analyzed the tasks and rewards, and directly chose option three.

He remembered that in Battle Through the Heavens, medicine cauldrons were also classified into different levels, and the more fire vents a cauldron had, the higher its grade.

The two-mouthed cauldron is considered a low-grade medicine cauldron. Xiao Yan used this kind of cauldron in his early stages. Similarly, for Huo Yuhao now, as long as it works, he doesn't have high requirements. In any case, the pills he wants to refine now are only grade two.

Use the rewarded medicine cauldron as a temporary measure, and then buy some metal to make your own medicine cauldron later.

Huo Yuhao considered for a moment: "Xiao Xiao, may I try to refine medicine using your Soul-Suppressing Cauldron Martial Soul?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and then agreed: "Sure, then you'd better make sure Wang Dong and I have enough skewers."

"No problem." Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

After selling kebabs for a while, Huo Yuhao felt that he had replenished his funds enough to go to the far north.

They stopped selling and packed up the remaining skewers, saying, "This should be enough for you."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao leaned forward slightly, glanced at the quantity, and nodded in satisfaction: "Ha, that's enough to eat."

After Huo Yuhao finished his business, he found a Soul Master Hotel in Shrek City. Compared to ordinary hotels, it was just a bit bigger and more luxuriously decorated.

Huo Yuhao and the other two entered the hotel room, and Xiao Xiao released her martial soul, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

"Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, combine!" Xiao Xiao shouted softly, and the three strange small cauldrons merged into a larger and wider cauldron.

"Huo Yuhao, you can use it with confidence. My Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron has high defense when the three cauldrons are combined into one, and its resistance is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary metals."

"I'm going to get some skewers!" Xiao Xiao clapped her hands happily, then ran over and sat down at the mahogany round table with Wang Dong to start eating skewers.

Huo Yuhao took out all the medicinal herbs and released purple flames.

For my first time refining medicine, I tried using purple fire. The aura of purple fire was not as strong as that of strange fire. In the Soul Master Hotel, it was considered the aura of a normal Soul Master's cultivation, since the medicine I was refining was only a second-grade pill.

Seeing the purple flames emerging from Huo Yuhao's palm, Wang Dong asked curiously, "Huo Yuhao, is this purple flame your martial soul?"

"I guess so, it's a special ability that comes with a martial soul," Huo Yuhao thought of an explanation.

"Oh," Wang Dong nodded as if he understood, and ate barbecue skewers with Xiao Xiao.

Huo Yuhao recalled the principles of alchemy he had learned last night.

In principle, it requires the combination of fire and wood attributes as a catalyst, but it possesses the life seal formed by the metal of life, which is more vibrant than the wood attribute.

Electrolux's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Yuhao, when you're refining the pills later, you'll be mainly responsible for controlling the heat and adding the medicinal herbs."

"While you are refining the medicine, I will add a trace of the aura of the Life Seal to increase the success rate."

"Yes, Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao nodded in response.

He prepared to refine a more practical Soul-Returning Pill. Following the principles of refining the Soul-Returning Pill, he carefully allocated the medicinal materials in proportion to prevent adding too much or too little during the refining process.

As the medicinal herbs were thrown into the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, purple flames roared within, marking the start of Huo Yuhao and Elder Yi's first joint alchemy session.

A few hours later, a faint fragrance wafted out.

Under the precise control of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul, his first alchemy attempt with Elder Yi was unexpectedly successful.

With a thought, Huo Yuhao withdrew the purple flame and, guided by his soul power, sent seven light green pills flying out of the cauldron.

[Optional quest completed. Reward: Medicine Cauldron]

The next second, a cauldron with two fire vents appeared in the storage ring.

Xiao Xiao paused in her eating, then asked, "Did it work?"

"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded, handing over four light green pills in his palm.

"These four pills are for you. They are called Soul-Returning Pills. Taking them will restore your soul power."

"Oh, thank you." Xiao Xiao didn't refuse and accepted the four pills.

Wang Dong's eyes lit up. "Xiao Xiao, I've taken you flying around a hundred times several times. It's time for you to pay me back something."

"W-what?" Xiao Xiao blushed slightly, thinking that Wang Dong had come to his senses and wanted to use this as an excuse to take advantage of her.

"Let's split these four pills in half."

Wang Dong's utterly naive words infuriated Xiao Xiao, who pouted and said, "I'll think about it!"

"I'll bring you breakfast for a week, is that alright, Xiao Xiao?"

"make a deal!"

After saying goodbye to the two, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, "Huo Yuhao, will you continue to set up your barbecue stall tomorrow?"

"It's highly unlikely."

Huo Yuhao responded, "The funds spent on buying medicinal herbs have been replenished. Shrek City should remain prosperous and peaceful forever. Until we meet again."

Tonight, we'll set off for the far north.

The far north is located in the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. A relatively good route is to pass through the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Several days later, outside Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire.

A caravan of freight wagons was parked on the side of the main road outside the city.

"Young Master Huo, we've arrived."

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Yuhao jumped off the carriage, paid the fare, and prepared to walk into the city gate.

At this moment, from the seemingly inconspicuous freight wagon behind, a girl with long orange hair and a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance but a sickly pale complexion slowly emerged from the cargo-laden carriage.

Huo Yuhao hadn't paid any attention at first, but the beautiful woman's weak words made him pause in surprise.

"Nannan, why don't we just give up? We've been seeing doctors at the clinic in the last city for months, but the symptoms haven't improved... Mom doesn't want to be a burden on you."

The girl's eyes welled up with tears, her orange hair clinging messily to her forehead and cheeks: "Mom, I will definitely cure your illness, I promise..."

A resolute glint flashed in her deep gaze. If Tiandou City couldn't cure her mother, the people from Xuanming Sect had intentionally or unintentionally revealed certain information to her...

(PS: Xu Sanshi's coming-of-age ceremony was at the age of fifteen, and the first Soul Master Competition reserve team required candidates to be no older than fifteen. Based on this timeline, I'll write it around the start of a semester.)

……

Shrek Academy, on a path beside Poseidon Lake.

"Xiaoya, I've already spoken to your school teacher (Xuanzu Mu'en) about getting you a life force attribute soul ring."

Beibei and Tang Ya walked side by side, discussing where to get a spirit ring for Tang Ya.

Tang Ya's expression brightened: "What did the teacher say?"

Beibei said gently, "It just so happens that some senior students in the inner academy are also preparing to obtain soul rings. The teacher said that we can go with them. Moreover, I heard that Elder Xuan will be leading the team this time."

"Xiaoya, you may not know who Elder Xuan is. He is a highly respected and authoritative elder of our academy's Sea God Pavilion. He is very powerful and can fully guarantee our safety."

Tang Ya smiled gently: "Thank you, Bei Bei."

At this moment, Beibei seemed to suddenly remember something, "Xu Sanshi said before the holiday that his family was going to arrange some kind of awakening ceremony for him, and that his strength would definitely increase greatly this semester, and he would beat me up."

"But I haven't seen him at school yet. Hey Xiaoya, has your roommate gone back to school?"

"Nannan?"

Tang Ya was also very puzzled, and a worried look appeared on her face: "When the semester ended last year, Nan Nan said that her mother was seriously ill. I heard her say that she had taken her mother to several cities for treatment, but her condition had not improved..."
