Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 14 I've Got Your Back

"pharmacy?"

Tang Ya thought for a moment, "If you want to buy medicine, you can go to the best clinic in Tiandou City. They have the widest variety of medicines there. I happen to be free later, so I can take you there."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya."

Upon hearing this address, Tang Ya's eyes crinkled with a smile, and she patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.

"Just for calling you 'Sister Xiaoya,' I'll protect you at the snack street from now on! Come on, I'll take you to the clinic."

Under the complex gazes of the surrounding vendors, Huo Yuhao left the food street with Tang Ya. After seeing that she seemed to really only sell fifty grilled fish a day, everyone's faces showed a more or less relieved expression.

If it's this popular on the first day, you can imagine how popular it will be later. If the other party continues to supply them in unlimited quantities, they'll probably all starve to death.

Moreover, the other party was personally brought in by Huang Yu, who was in charge of this street. From the very beginning, they were prevented from having any intention of causing trouble for Huo Yuhao. The people who set up stalls were just trying to make a living. If they really had that kind of power, they wouldn't have come here to set up stalls.

However, their dissatisfaction vanished immediately upon learning that the grilled fish was limited. After all, Huo Yuhao only had so much grilled fish, and the vendors who had tried it knew that it would definitely be in short supply in the future. Those who were attracted by the grilled fish would naturally become customers of the food street.

"Sister Xiaoya, besides the clinic, there's another place I need to go. Do you know where they sell rare metals?"

Looking at Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao suddenly had an idea: his soul tool could totally cooperate with the Tang Sect!

He can certainly purchase rare metals in small quantities on his own, but if he were to purchase them in large quantities, not to mention whether others would sell to him, they would certainly be eyeing them.

Although the Tang Clan has declined, it is still a sect whose main business is selling hidden weapons. It still has some connections in the rare mineral sector that it can utilize, and there is no need to worry that the other party will have malicious intentions because of his talent, like other forces.

Selling soul tools would be less conspicuous if the Tang Sect's name was used as a cover.

Although those who once had connections now keep their distance due to the decline of the Tang Clan, that's because the Tang Clan is no longer valuable. If there's profit to be made, under normal circumstances, those people would naturally not refuse to sell a batch of rare ores to the Tang Clan.

After all, it doesn't matter who I sell to, right? We had some prior acquaintance, and only a fool would refuse a chance to make money.

Having a conflict with Tang San wouldn't implicate him in a sect that only has a nominal connection to him. Besides, he had more contact with Tang Ya in his previous life, so it's definitely better than dealing with a completely unfamiliar force.

However, Tang Ya and he are not familiar with each other yet, so it would be better to bring this up after they have gotten to know each other for a while.

"Rare metals? These are hard to buy, and the prices they fetch on the market are often outrageous."

When rare metals were mentioned, Tang Ya's smile noticeably faded, since the decline of the Tang Clan was largely related to the changes in the three great empires' policies toward rare metals.

As the three great empires place increasing importance on soul tools, the importance of rare metals is rising, and their prices are naturally soaring.

With production costs constantly rising and their own products still not selling, the Tang Sect has reached an irreversible dead end. If the Tang Sect had made timely changes when the Soul Guidance Devices first came into view with the collision of the Sun and Moon Continents, perhaps they would not have come to this point.

Unfortunately, the Tang Sect has become so stagnant that, in order to commemorate the so-called first sect leader Tang San, for the past ten thousand years, every sect leader has been someone with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, which is simply unimaginably morbid.

Even if this generation wants to make changes, it's already too late. The Tang Sect's current resources aren't enough to train even a single Soul Master.

"I enjoy collecting all sorts of unusual metals. As a big city, Tiandou City must have many kinds that I haven't seen before, so I want to go and broaden my horizons and buy some for my collection."

Huo Yuhao explained softly that what he said was not wrong. To a Soul Master, rare metals are like beautiful women who have taken off their clothes and are waiting to be favored. No Soul Master would say no to rare metals.

"Oh, I do know some shops that might sell rare metals. I'll take you to look for them on the way."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoya. I'll treat you to grilled fish tomorrow."

"real?"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, quickening her pace. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

After turning two corners, the two finally saw the best medical clinic in Tiandou City that Tang Ya had mentioned.

Huo Yuhao looked up and gazed into the distance. The entire building looked ancient and grand, with people coming and going at the entrance, but he didn't see a "GG" sign. If it were someone visiting for the first time, they probably wouldn't even realize that this was a medical clinic.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao stopped and grabbed Tang Ya.

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Tang Ya subconsciously turned around and saw Huo Yuhao with his brows slightly furrowed and his gaze fixed straight ahead.

At that moment, a figure caught Huo Yuhao's attention at the entrance of the clinic. It was the young man who had clashed with the blacksmith shop yesterday. He was carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs. After walking out of the clinic, he did not stop at all and strode away, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and released Tang Ya's hand. He did not intend to let Tang Ya have any contact with this person who resembled Tang San. If it was not Tang San, that would be fine, but if it was... then it would probably not end well.

Recalling the fates of those members of the God Realm Committee in his previous life, a strange look appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

The Tang Sect was founded by Tang San himself. Given Tang San's personality, how could he possibly be willing to call someone else the sect leader?

If he really joins the Tang Clan, it probably won't be long before those members with higher seniority than him die one after another in mysterious ways, and then he will naturally become the leader of the Tang Clan.

Fortunately, the Tang Clan has declined and is of no help to Tang San. It would be an understatement to say that it is a mess. If that boy really is Tang San, judging from yesterday's situation, he should be too busy to even take care of himself, let alone the fate of the Tang Clan.

"Why are you being so secretive?"

Watching Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Tang Ya, unaware that she had successfully escaped a disaster, muttered something and followed him into the clinic.

"Hello, are you here for a medical checkup?"

As soon as they entered, a young man in a blue robe approached them and politely inquired.

"I need to buy some medicine."

Huo Yuhao immediately stated his purpose and listed his needs one by one. These included things to regulate Huo Yun'er's body, as well as things to strengthen her foundation and nourish her meridians.

After reciting the list of dishes, the young man, who was clearly an apprentice, showed an embarrassed expression. He took out a pen and paper and carefully began to speak.

"Um... cough cough, could you speak a little slower?"

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Alright, let me handle these two. You can go and attend to other things."

"Yes."

The young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left.

The middle-aged man looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression and spoke with a light laugh.

"I didn't expect two people to buy similar medicinal herbs today, and they even named them directly. Young man, have you ever studied medicine?"
