Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 41 Xuan Ziwen: He's Too Perfect for the Sun and Moon

Seeing Huo Yuhao controlling the shaking of the bamboo skewer tube, Bei Bei asked in surprise, "Little Brother Huo, you can do this too?"

"It's not some amazing skill," Huo Yuhao said half-jokingly, picking up the slip of paper he had just drawn.

"I have some insights into this thing called luck."

"As for drawing lots, it's just something to do in your spare time, something to play around with."

The simulation included dozens of bamboo sticks, each with different levels of good or bad fortune for each route: extremely bad, extremely good, more bad than good, more good than bad... and so on. Each route had multiple possibilities.

He didn't consciously control the shaking; he just shook it randomly to draw lots.

In other words, he might draw a very unlucky number on the right, or he might draw a very lucky number on the right.

Dugu Luo moved closer to Huo Yuhao, looking curiously at the slip of paper in his hand, and asked with delight, "Yuhao, what's the meaning behind it?"

"Sister Dugu, the divination results tell me that the right path is extremely dangerous."

Dugu Luo nodded heavily: "Yes, Yuhao, we won't take the right route then."

Of course, this method might have a good predictive effect on those who are lucky enough to have some good fortune.

It is not recommended for ordinary people to use.

The two continued eating skewers and shaking the skewers, the atmosphere quite lighthearted. However, when the next two skewers were shaken out, Huo Yuhao suddenly froze.

[Middle route, extremely unlucky, very bad omen], [Left route, extremely unlucky, very bad omen]

Hmm? All three paths are extremely unlucky? Huo Yuhao's expression immediately turned serious.

What does that mean? Out of dozens of divination sticks, the first three he randomly drew happened to correspond to extremely unlucky sticks on the left, center, and right paths, respectively.

Could it be that all three paths lead to death?

Huo Yuhao fell into a brief moment of thought, wondering if taking any path would inevitably lead to being tainted by something dirty...

While it's true that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was orchestrated by that great being, it can't be this outrageous. The moment you go there, the God-King senses your destiny and makes a series of arrangements.

Dugu Luo looked at the three ominous fortune sticks, his lips slightly parted, and after a long pause, he slowly opened his mouth and smiled jokingly.

"Yuhao, is your luck always this bad?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, showing no signs of nervousness, and said in a gentle tone, "To be honest, I still have a bit of luck on me."

"Perhaps these three paths are indeed suspicious," Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully.

Tang Ya, who was standing nearby, was completely confused and asked curiously, "Yuhao, what place are you looking for?"

Dugu Luo responded on Huo Yuhao's behalf, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and speaking in a way that was both serious and fake.

"My martial spirit has malfunctioned, causing many problems to arise within me. I need the medicinal herbs from that place to help me heal."

"Huh? Is it urgent?" Tang Ya asked instinctively.

"urgent."

After discussing it, Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo decided to rest for the night and then scout out the location of the entrance the next morning, so as to at least have a general idea of ​​the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The group chatted and ate kebabs, and soon it was evening. They started talking about establishing a sect.

Zhang Lexuan paused, her hand holding the skewers of grilled meat, and said with slight surprise, "I know Tang Ya wants to rebuild the Tang Clan. Little brother Yuhao, do you also want to establish a sect?"

"It was just an idea that came to mind."

Huo Yuhao looked at Zhang Lexuan and smiled, "Sister Lexuan, if I ever really establish a sect, would you be willing to join?"

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently. She certainly wouldn't cruelly crush Huo Yuhao's dream, so she encouraged him: "Little brother Yuhao, just keep trying your best."

"No matter what, you've done your sister a great favor today. If your sect is successfully established in the future, I would be happy to take on a position there."

Huo Yuhao smiled and thanked him. He had only asked casually, and it was good to get such an answer. The most important thing to establish a sect was one's own strength.

As long as one is strong enough, establishing a sect is just a side effect, since most people cannot escape the effect of the strong.

At this moment, Xuanzi, who had been eyeing the kebabs for a long time, dragged the corpse of the Three-Soul Ghost Mantis over.

"Little one, your barbecue skills are not bad. Could you help this old man roast this praying mantis?"

Xuanzi said angrily, "I will not be at peace until I eat this beast today."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Roast a mantis? It's too old. With my cultivation level, I definitely can't roast it properly."

"It's alright. After I cut it into pieces, I'll break down the energy it contains. Just roast it like normal meat."

As Xuanzi spoke, he dismembered the three-souled ghost mantis into dozens of pieces.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with roasting and eating the captured soul beasts, but roasting mantises is quite rare, and Huo Yuhao had never roasted one before.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitant expression, Xuanzi gave him a small bag of gold soul coins: "One hundred gold soul coins, consider it a reward for your hard work roasting it. I don't need to add any more money, do I?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and didn't refuse, "Okay then."

Several disciples ran over, saying they were going all out and would eat the roasted mantis even if they felt physically uncomfortable, otherwise they wouldn't be able to swallow their anger and might suffer internal injuries.

Xuanzi readily agreed and turned to the crowd: "I'll treat everyone to barbecue skewers, and later you can all come and eat grilled mantises."

In fact, most of the disciples had been eyeing the barbecue skewers for a long time, but seeing their senior sister with Huo Yuhao and the others, they didn't have the nerve to ask if the skewers were for sale.

With the help of Xuanzi and a group of students, Huo Yuhao roasted a praying mantis.

Speaking of which, this time Xuanzi didn't chase after the Five-Ring Soul King, but instead chased after a stronger one, the Three-Soul Ghost Mantis, which is nearly 100,000 years old. This is enough to prove how powerful Elder Xuan is.

After some time, the three-soul ghost mantises were roasted. In fact, soul beasts of this level have good nutritional value, and Huo Yuhao roasted them in a way that was both visually appealing and delicious.

The Three-Souled Ghost Mantis was quickly devoured by Xuanzi and his disciples, who kept saying how satisfying it was and how delicious it was.

Xuanzi beckoned, and a chicken the size of half a carriage flew over, supported by his soul power.

With Zhang Lexuan on his back, he whispered, "Little girl, do you think my 25,000-year-old chicken-type soul beast can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lexuan's usual cold voice rang out from behind him: "Elder Xuan, this disciple thinks Yuhao is a bit tired and needs to rest."

Zhang Lexuan didn't object to the roasted mantis earlier, since the Three-Soul Ghost Mantis had harmed the disciples, but how could she stand by and watch the chicken that had attracted Xuanzi away from the team being roasted?

Xuanzi coughed lightly, "Le Xuan, you all get some rest. Tomorrow we'll continue deeper into the Sunset Forest. I will stay with the group every step of the way."

He then put the 25,000-year-old chicken into his storage soul tool, and carrying his wine gourd, walked to the front of the group.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled, "Yuhao, it's getting late. Why don't you set up camp with us? That way, we can look out for each other."

"Sister Dugu, what do you say?" Huo Yuhao asked Dugu Luo for her opinion. His main purpose was to find out the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye through Dugu Luo's map.

Dugu Luo readily agreed, "Yes, then I'll trouble Sister Lexuan to take care of you."

Before Huo Yuhao rescued her from the evil soul master, she was always alone. Now, with such a large group, she definitely feels safer, even though that teacher who loves chicken legs seems a bit unreliable.

Zhang Lexuan returned to her tent, leaving one disciple to keep watch with Elder Xuan, while the rest of the disciples returned to their respective tents.

Dugu Luo took out her tent from her storage bracelet, and after quickly setting it up with Huo Yuhao, the two crawled into the tent.

The room was spacious, but there was only one large bed, with some toiletries and blankets piled up in the corner.

Dugu Luo hung up the candle and saw Huo Yuhao pick up a blanket. She felt it was inappropriate to let her savior sleep on the floor, and her lips moved slightly.

"Yuhao, how about I sleep on the floor? You're young, so I'll take care of you. You sleep on the bed."

Huo Yuhao grabbed the blanket and waved his hand, "It's okay. I don't care where I sleep. Before, I just dug a hole in the snow and slept there."

He spread out the blanket, then had the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm turn the remains into an ice silk quilt, and said slowly, "It's getting late, let's rest early. Tomorrow we'll go and see what's going on with the three routes of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had already covered himself with the blanket and lay down, Dugu Luo didn't say anything more. He leaned against the headboard, took a book from his pocket, and sat up straight. The book's title was:

Listen to the story of the world's number one poison soul master becoming close friends with Tang San, the God of the Sea, despite their age difference.

Without a doubt, this book was written by Dugu Bo, Dugu Luo's ancestor, and was passed down to her generation ten thousand years later.

Dugu Luo flipped through the book, muttering softly, "Tang San, a friend despite the age gap..."

"Hey Yuhao, do you think if I met my ancestor Tang San, I wouldn't have to worry about the toxins accumulating in my body? He must have a way to deal with the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King."

Huo Yuhao would naturally not start by talking about the great power of Tang Shenwang, and Dugu Luo would most likely not understand it either.

"Sister Dugu, think about it carefully. Since your ancestor Dugu Bo, there has always been a map of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Why is it that even after ten thousand years, every generation of you has been unable to find the exact location of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

Dugu Luo was taken aback, frowned and thought for a long time before tentatively speaking.

"They can't possibly be unable to read a map..."

Huo Yuhao slowly spoke, "I don't think so."

Dugu Luo thought so too. Which Soul Master doesn't know how to read a map? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pout with a hint of resentment.

"My ancestor Dugu Bo and Tang San were close friends despite their age difference. Ten thousand years have passed, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has still not been found. My ancestor Tang San has not given us any guidance or help."

Huo Yuhao's leisurely voice came over.

"Tang San will most likely say that gods are not allowed to interfere with the mortal realm without authorization, so they cannot help you."

Dugu Luo felt a surge of anger. "If it weren't for Ancestor Dugu Bo giving Tang San the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it's uncertain whether he could have become a god."

If it weren't for the toxins, her talent would actually be quite good. She was already level 26 at the age of twelve. Back then, she used her Dugu surname to get a city lord-level recommendation letter to enroll in Shrek Academy.

As a result, because the toxins continued to accumulate, Shrek Academy had no solution and gave her some pills to suppress the toxins, but they had no choice but to refuse them.

After that, she had to find her own way to survive and search for medicinal herbs that might cure the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Snake.

It only dawned on her tonight that even the ancestral map might not be enough for her to find the exact location of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Thinking of this, Dugu Luo gripped the book tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning white.

"Yuhao, I suddenly feel that Tang San is not a good person. He is not sincere at all, and he is hypocritical."

"My ancestor Dugu Bo's immortal herbs helped him and his friends become gods. It's one thing that his detoxification only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, but we, his descendants, are also inexplicably unable to find the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. "Your sudden feeling is really accurate."

Seeing Dugu Luo's indignant expression, he chuckled and comforted her, "Alright, alright, Sister Dugu, your poison definitely won't flare up if you encounter me."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Luo's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Yuhao, why do you say that?"

"While I cannot completely solve your problem right now, I can concoct an antidote to inhibit the spread of the toxin."

Huo Yuhao pointed out the drawback of this method: "However, your poison is equivalent to your cultivation level. Directly taking the antidote pill would weaken your combat power."

"The toxins you've accumulated from hours of hard training can be wiped out with just one antidote pill."

Dugu Luo was overjoyed. He threw the book onto the bed, clenched his fist, and said, "It's okay. As long as I can live, I'll find a way to completely cure the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Snake."

"Yuhao, you can actually refine pills!" Dugu Luo felt that happiness had come so suddenly.

"Yes, a little skill I acquired in my spare time."

"You have so many little skills."

"Having more skills means you'll avoid taking more fatal paths."

The two chatted casually for a few minutes in good spirits before falling asleep.

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, the two got up and tidied up. Dugu Luo packed up the tent, while Zhang Lexuan and her disciples had already formed their ranks and were ready to continue their journey deeper into the Sunset Forest.

"Yuhao, are you coming with us today?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Dugu Luo's map and found that there was a section along the way, so he accepted her invitation.

Before long, Zhang Lexuan stopped in front of a large patch of vines.

She unleashed several moon blades, clearing away the obstructive vines, leaving behind a special vine that was bluish-green and translucent, which was firmly imprisoned by Zhang Lexuan's moon ring.

Tang Ya leaned closer for a look and exclaimed excitedly, "Beibei, look! It's a thousand-year-old Spirit Binding Vine! That's great! I want this one!"

Zhang Lexuan calmly said, "The Spirit Binding Vine has life attributes and is quite resilient, so let's choose this one."

Then, while Tang Ya was hunting for spirit rings, Huo Yuhao, Dugu Luo, and Zhang Lexuan bid each other farewell.

Following the route on the map, Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo continued to venture deeper in another direction.

Zhang Lexuan watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure and wished him: "I hope you can realize your dream."

After walking an unknown distance, Huo Yuhao released his mental detection sharing ability, and habitually rubbed the Fury Lotus while stuffing a Soul Returning Pill into his mouth.

Behind him, somewhere outside the range of mental detection.

"Xuan Ziwen, what are you looking at?" Xu Sheng asked, puzzled.

Xuan Ziwen took off his self-made soul-guided glasses and handed them to Xu Sheng, unable to hide his excitement: "Mental attribute, most likely the physical martial soul."

"And he also likes to take drugs, which is perfect for us Sun and Moon."
