Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 245 The Elders' Discussion (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

The young woman who was greeting us had already placed two cards on the table, one red and the other black.

A black card was handed to Wang Dong. "Mr. Wang, your credit limit is 500,000 gold soul coins. It can only be used once a year, and it needs to be reassessed the following year."

"At your age, a purple rating should already be the highest. Your black rating represents the academy's extraordinary recognition of you."

"Enjoy a 20% discount on any purchase. Our prices are lower than elsewhere, so please take advantage of this offer."

Wang Dong couldn't help but feel excited. A 20% discount! He had brought so much money; how could he not go on a shopping spree?

Immediately afterwards, the girl in charge of reception handed a red card to Huo Yuhao.

"Mr. Huo Yuhao, this is your red card. With this red card, you are a top-tier VIP of our Treasure Pavilion. Every year, you are entitled to choose one item from the Treasure Appreciation Event to take away without paying any fees."

"If you wish to make further purchases, you can enjoy a 40% discount, which is our maximum discount level. You are entitled to three shopping privileges, including the one free pickup privilege."

The thin red card had a gold pattern on it. When Huo Yuhao took it, he could feel a faint warmth emanating from the card, and it felt very comfortable to hold in his hand.

Crimson Spirit Warm Jade?

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the Treasure Pavilion. The Flaming Sun Refined Iron Treasure Box, which had once been used to encapsulate the Soul Devouring Blade, was already quite luxurious, with the cost of a small box not less than ten thousand gold coins. However, compared to the Crimson Spirit Warm Jade of the same weight, it was still far inferior.

A small piece of Crimson Spirit Warm Jade is enough to ward off the bitter cold. It is also a very stable gemstone that can be inscribed with core magic arrays. Even such a thin piece costs hundreds of gold soul coins, and with the labor cost, it is estimated to be over a thousand.

Wang Dong skipped excitedly to pick out her favorite items, while Huo Yuhao, accompanied by the young girl who was serving her, quickly went to the piece of whale glue closest to him.

The broken fragment was clearly left for him by the academy on purpose, with the price specifically marked as negotiable. Huo Yuhao was naturally not in a hurry, but the whale glue had a clearly marked price.

Although even the teachers at the neighboring school could mistake this piece of whale glue for trash, who knows if a senior student from a coastal area might recognize it?

I hurried over to the piece of whale glue. There were a few lines of small print on the information board in front of the exhibit.

Name: Millennium Whale Glue.

Price: 6,000 Gold Soul Coins.

Item Description: Whale glue is a special substance produced in the brain of whales, a type of soul beast. It is beneficial to soul masters.

The whale glue has weathered over time and deteriorated slightly, but it is still usable, although its quality will be somewhat reduced.

"I'll take this whale glue, without using the free access. This is a Gold Soul Coin card."

Huo Yuhao handed over a card with a face value of 10,000 gold soul coins, and then strode towards the location of the fragment.

"Please take it out for me, thank you."

Huo Yuhao pointed to the sword fragments in the cabinet. The girl nodded respectfully and made a gesture, and the glass cabinet in front of Huo Yuhao slowly rose.

"Buzz—"

As if in celebration, the fragment of the sword blade began to vibrate spontaneously. The shields in Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion were also soul tools, capable of isolating soul power fluctuations. When the shields were removed, the fragment of the sword blade instantly sensed the familiar aura emanating from Huo Yuhao.

Reaching out with both hands, he respectfully retrieved the broken fragments of the sword in front of him. An unparalleled power flowed into Huo Yuhao's limbs and bones. It was an extremely warm and magnificent power, as if his whole body had been soothed, or as if he had been comforted by a warm, large hand.

Golden flames appeared on Huo Yuhao's hands, then his arms, spreading faster and faster until they completely engulfed him.

Surprisingly, although the golden flames ignited on Huo Yuhao's body, they did not burn his clothes.

Inside the hidden room of the Treasure Pavilion.

Two elderly women with white hair and youthful faces sat on either side, while Old Mu, who was drowsy, sat in the middle.

One of the two old women was the nun Huo Yuhao wanted to visit, the level 97 Super Douluo Song, known as the Divine Eagle Douluo. Her hair had turned as white as snow and was neatly coiled behind her head.

The old woman sitting opposite was Elder Lin, who was in charge of the operation of Jubaoge in public. Compared to Elder Song, Elder Lin was obviously more prosperous and approachable. Her gray hair was tied into a small bun, and she looked no different from the old lady next door.

"This little guy is really not polite. I bet he used his mental detection to look through all the treasures we have in the Treasure Pavilion as soon as he arrived."

At this moment, Old Master Song also noticed Huo Yuhao's action of heading straight for the fragments after buying the whale glue, and his eyes smiled.

"Then your Soul Guidance Department's Extreme Individual Soldier Project is expected to take another step forward. This detection range is different from what that kid Duoduo mentioned last year."

Old Master Lin casually laid his arms across the table: "Old Master Mu has a good eye. He knows what is most suitable for this child. I thought Old Master Mu would give this child the Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow that Xuanzi brought back."

The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow that Elder Lin mentioned was what Elder Xuan had obtained when he ventured deep into the far north a few years ago. Although it was only a thousand-year-old marrow, it was still incredibly precious. Its value even exceeded that of most ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. At an auction, two million gold soul coins would only be the starting price.

Unfortunately, although the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is precious, the difference between it and the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is like heaven and earth, and it cannot help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire at all.

A genuine piece of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow is worth at least as much as a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone. It is something that has a chance to cultivate an ultimate martial soul and can also greatly increase the possibility of an ice-attribute soul master advancing to a super Douluo. It can be called a rare treasure.

And the Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Marrow

It's not that it's not precious, but it's not very useful for Soul Masters with the ultimate ice attribute. It can improve the ice attribute ability to some extent for ordinary ice attribute Soul Masters, but it's a waste for Soul Masters with the ultimate ice attribute. The improvement in ability can only be described as making small but incremental progress.

Mu En slightly opened his eyes, revealing a look of relief: "It's just the good fortune this child deserves. Once, that guy and I each obtained such a fragment by chance. We were both extremely excited, thinking that the opportunity to become a god, which had been cut off for thousands of years, was contained within it."

"But in reality, this fragment has been in my hands for over a hundred years without any effect. That guy is probably the same; he doesn't have this good fortune. It's just a fragment of strange material. Since this thing is useful to Yuhao, let's give it to him. This kid is already a member of Shrek Academy, and that's enough."
