Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 43 Huo Yuhao's Temptation

Huo Yuhao couldn't miss the opportunity of the Different Flame Sub-Flame, so he chose number three without hesitation. After all, the immortal herbs inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire combined were definitely a huge opportunity.

If Huo Yuhao were to be lucky enough to obtain the remnants of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King's souls, it would be an incredible stroke of good fortune.

Correspondingly, they will also obtain a higher-ranking and higher-quality sub-flame on the Strange Flame Ranking.

"Yuhao, my Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom and the poisonous mist released by the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers are, in a sense, of the same lineage, but the venom it contains is more concentrated and more toxic."

Dugu Luo possesses a certain degree of resistance to the poisonous mist released by the Seven Deadly Flowers of Azure Phosphorus.

"I can stay in the poison barrier for a while, Yuhao, what about you?"

With a thought, Huo Yuhao unleashed a burst of pale white flames that quickly spread across his body: "Don't worry, Sister Dugu, this poisonous mist can't harm me."

The gray-green mist within the poison barrier instantly turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated upon contact with the flame membrane formed by Huo Yuhao's bone spirit cold fire outside his body, making the space a few centimeters around him much brighter.

However, with their current strength, the two are not enough to deter the immortal herbs.

Even if one successfully enters the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it is difficult to have friendly communication with them.

So Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo began scouting the area, exploring the surrounding area outside the poison barrier and marking it on the map.

Several hours later, Dugu Luo had marked the surrounding terrain in detail on the map and asked happily, "Yuhao, when are we coming over next?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, but didn't say anything, instead simulating a Buddha's Wrathful Lotus.

"To be on the safe side, let's wait until my fire lotus has one or two more colors before entering the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. This will allow us to demonstrate our goodwill to the fullest extent."

Dugu Luo blinked. "You mean, the more colors the fire lotus has, the stronger its power?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded: "You can understand it that way."

Then, after hearing Huo Yuhao's simple description of the Buddha's Fury Lotus's destructive power, Dugu Luo began to make a series of associations, and the corners of her lips gradually curved into a smile.

As long as the power of the Buddha's Wrathful Lotus is great enough, it can help to discourage arrogance and impatience.

Presumably, the immortal herbs will also follow their hearts and communicate with Huo Yuhao more calmly and effectively.

After completing the reconnaissance of the area surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye's poisonous barrier, it was already evening.

After defeating the Cave Demon Spider, Huo Yuhao used simulation to make himself and Dugu Luo invisible, while also creating identical "Huo Yuhao" and "Dugu Luo" who went in other directions.

This move is solely for the purpose of maintaining stability and prudent operation.

Xu Sheng, who was secretly protecting Huo Yuhao and his companion, was quite confused.

"Xuan Ziwen, aren't your self-made soul-guided glasses supposed to have extremely keen scanning and perception abilities for mental energy? How could you lose track of them?"

Xuan Ziwen's glasses flashed with white light. After thinking seriously for a moment, he suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that the little kid's invisibility soul skill has other special effects as well."

"We were halfway through following them when my spiritual glasses were misled by their spiritual forms, causing us to follow their spiritual forms instead."

Xuan Ziwen was growing to admire Huo Yuhao more and more. Both his cautious nature and his unique spiritual attribute soul skills seemed to be tailor-made for soul tools.

"Hey Xuan Ziwen, look!"

Xu Sheng vaguely saw two figures in the poisonous fog and patted Xuan Ziwen's arm: "They've come out. They don't seem to have encountered any danger."

……

Several hours later, as darkness fell, Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo emerged from the poisonous fog, cleared a spot, and set up their tent.

The air outside the toxic fog was much fresher, and the surrounding green jungle and trees created a vibrant atmosphere, allowing people to feel a sense of life.

Outside the tent, Huo Yuhao took out a pill furnace.

"Yuhao, are you preparing to refine pills? Do you think these medicinal herbs will be useful?"

With curiosity and joy on her face, Dugu Luo took out a handful of medicinal herbs from her storage soul tool.

There are all sorts of things, including common and precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and lingzhi, as well as roadside foxtail grass and wild chrysanthemums.

Huo Yuhao glanced at it and couldn't help but admire how hard Dugu Luo had worked to survive and find a way to live on her own.

"Most of the medicinal herbs can be used; just wash them thoroughly."

He then released his cold air, which condensed into an icebox. With a thought, the icebox was filled with water that had melted from the ice, and it looked quite clear and clean.

Hearing that her collection of medicinal herbs had not been in vain, Dugu Luo happily said, "Yuhao, I was really amazing when I was little. I could run like the wind in the mountains when I was only five or six years old."

"After awakening my martial soul, I tried many herbs to suppress the toxins in my body. Anyway, I'm not afraid of herbs being poisonous. No matter how poisonous they are, they can't compare to the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent."

As Dugu Luo spoke, she carried a pile of medicinal herbs to the freezer filled with water and carefully cleaned them.

Huo Yuhao released his purple flames and began refining pills. He planned to refine some Soul-Returning Pills and Antidote Pills.

Several portions of medicinal herbs were pre-allocated according to their medicinal properties, and then, supported by soul power, they were put into the alchemy furnace one by one. Immediately afterwards, purple flames blazed up in the furnace.

As the medicinal herbs were continuously poured back and forth, the aroma of elixirs wafted from the alchemy furnace, and taking a breath felt like ascending to heaven.

Dugu Luobi's eyes were half nervous and half expectant, even though the antidote would break down the toxins that were linked to her combat power.

But compared to escaping the life-threatening danger of a toxin outbreak, a few less is nothing.

Nearly two hours later, with a loud clang, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Previously, Huo Yuhao needed Elder Yi's cooperation to infuse the life essence of the Life Seal into the pills. After reaching the second ring, he was able to do it on his own.

With a thought, Huo Yuhao used his soul power to guide several green pills that flew out from the center.

"Sister Dugu, this is my first time making an antidote pill. I don't know how effective it will be. Why don't you try it?"

Huo Yuhao used his soul power to wrap a pill and slowly controlled it to fly to Dugu Luo's side.

"Yes, thank you, Yuhao." Dugu Luo caught the greenish-blue pill.

"It's alright. Finding the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time will actually be of great help to my future."

Huo Yuhao responded and continued refining pills. The number of Soul-Returning Pills needed to be replenished constantly, since this kind of pill was even more excessive than a "baby bottle".

After taking the pill, Dugu Luo could clearly feel that her whole body was more relaxed. The accumulated poison in her body seemed to have met its nemesis and was neutralized to some extent by the power of the antidote.

She breathed a sigh of relief; one antidote pill would be enough for the short term.

When the toxins accumulated from cultivating her martial spirit reach a level she can no longer tolerate, she will take an antidote pill. However, compared to before, her cultivation speed will definitely be slower.

……

"Xuan Ziwen, what did I just see? That young man is actually refining pills himself. If he were born in Sun and Moon, I would suspect that he was born in the Sun and Moon's environment where everyone is taking pills." Xu Sheng was incredulous.

Then, thinking of Xuan Ziwen's background, he coughed lightly.

"Well, you don't seem to be a native of Sun and Moon either, but that's not important. As long as you can come to Sun and Moon and achieve better development, that's all that matters."

Xuan Ziwen paid no attention to these words; he was watching Huo Yuhao refine pills with utmost concentration.

"The pills he refines seem to be a completely different type from ours. The medicinal properties are utilized almost perfectly, and we can't detect any drawbacks."

Xuan Ziwen suddenly understood the differences in the quality of the pills.

He felt he could see through Huo Yuhao less and less. Huo Yuhao had previously unleashed a fire-attribute lotus with power far exceeding that of other Soul Masters of the same level, and just now, with a wave of his hand, it condensed into an icebox.

What amazed him even more was that the other party actually possessed a peculiar alchemy technique, which was far beyond his comprehension.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's temptation.

Xuan Ziwen's love for talent was beyond restraint; it would be such a waste not to nurture such a genius.

Perhaps one day in the future, the master and apprentice will achieve a major breakthrough in the field of soul guidance, taking soul guidance technology to the next level.

They developed Soul Guidance Technology that was several versions ahead of Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao was focused on refining pills when a gentle voice came from behind him.

"Little friend, are you selling your pills?"

A bespectacled, refined-looking man and another tall, slender man with a composed demeanor walked over; they were Xuan Ziwen and Xu Sheng.

With an infectious, friendly smile, Xuan Ziwen asked Huo Yuhao a question before introducing himself and clarifying his identity.

"Little friend, don't be afraid. My name is Xuan Ziwen. I am a senior researcher at the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire, and also a teacher at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"His name is Xu Sheng, and he holds the same position as me."

Xuan Ziwen? Huo Yuhao was suddenly taken aback. This was really strange. He actually encountered this scientific research expert in the Sunset Forest of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After thinking for a few seconds without coming up with a solution, he smiled and politely replied, "Hello, teachers. The antidote pills I sell can neutralize most common toxins. You can decide on the price."

Huo Yuhao does not want to sell the Soul Returning Pill for the time being, as this pill can restore soul power and has no side effects.

In the current Douluo Continent's pill system, which is almost a complete mess, this is ultimately a kind of dimensional reduction attack.

If Xuan Ziwen were to learn about the effects of the Soul-Returning Pill, and then think of the advanced milk bottle he had painstakingly researched, he would surely fall into deep self-doubt and suffer a great blow.

Xu Sheng pointed to the Soul-Returning Pill and asked with a chuckle, "Young man, aren't you selling this pill?"

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment: "This kind of pill is still in the experimental stage and has significant side effects. My principles do not allow me to sell it."

Xu Sheng had a "you're not being honest, kid" look on his face. He had just seen the other person stuffing a Soul-Returning Pill into his mouth every now and then.

Xuan Ziwen smiled gently and said unhurriedly, "I have heard that in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, a single Xuan Shui Pill was worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"But in the Sun Moon Empire, they don't sell for such a high price. Depending on their quality and effectiveness, the market price for antidote pills ranges from one silver soul coin to one hundred gold soul coins."

"Little friend, I'll buy one of these antidote pills for the highest price of one hundred gold soul coins, how about that?"

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Then he took out a small porcelain bottle, filled it with an antidote pill, and handed it to Xuan Ziwen.

As Xuan Ziwen accepted the porcelain bottle, he took out a small bag of gold soul coins and gave it to Huo Yuhao.

Now that other people had arrived, Huo Yuhao stopped refining pills and put away the pill furnace.

"Well then, please make yourselves at home, teachers."

Huo Yuhao walked to Dugu Luo's side. "We're going to rest now."

As he spoke, he and Dugu Luo prepared to crawl into the tent. Today's scouting of the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was indeed quite tiring.

As for Xuan Ziwen's purpose, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this person was a relatively upright character in the original work, with excellent research talent in soul guidance technology, and there weren't many flaws.

"Hey, wait a minute, kid." Xuan Ziwen called out to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao turned around, a polite smile on his face: "Is there anything else, Teacher Xuan?"

"I noticed that you two came to Sunset Forest without any adults or teachers accompanying you..."

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's knowledge of Xuan Ziwen's character in the original work, and the fact that the other party had already introduced himself, he didn't hide anything.

"My name is Huo Yuhao. I come from the Star Luo Empire. My mother was killed by a noblewoman, and now I am all alone in my family."

Xuan Ziwen was taken aback by the result of his question.

The previously harmonious topic seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Xuan Ziwen felt deeply apologetic. "I'm sorry, Yuhao, I didn't mean to reopen your wounds."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and didn't say anything.

Tang Ya: ? I don't think anyone mentioned me.

Xuan Ziwen did not get the key information about his background. He was thinking about how to start the conversation so that he could have a more accurate assessment and understanding of him.

At this moment, Xu Sheng asked, "Yuhao, what are your plans for the future? For example, becoming a powerful Soul Master to avenge your mother?"

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao replied, "That's one of my goals. I want revenge, revenge for my mother!"

Xuan Ziwen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, "Yuhao, which academy are you currently studying at?"

"If not, could you tell me what your martial soul is? Maybe I can introduce you to my academy, which is a very good one."

Huo Yuhao understood something. It seemed that the two of them wanted to lure him to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so he explained his situation and saw how they would react.

"I haven't started school yet."

"As for my martial soul, it is a physical martial soul with a spiritual attribute, the Spirit Eye, which is a mutation of my eyes."

Although he had already guessed, Xuan Ziwen's heart was still stirred by the keywords "spiritual attribute" and "body martial soul".

Xu Sheng almost couldn't contain himself and crushed the small porcelain bottle in his hand.

An eye-themed martial soul! A top-tier spiritual attribute physical martial soul!

"Yuhao, would you like to study at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? With your unique martial soul advantage, you can definitely maximize your potential at our academy."

Xuan Ziwen looked at Dugu Luo with a smile on his face: "Of course, your friend next to you can also study at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
