Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 247 Meeting the Grand Secretary (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Speaking of which, does Senior Jiang Nannan have anyone she particularly wants to kill? If Xu Sanshi could be a little more clever and help kill that person, maybe he could gain Senior Jiang Nannan's favor.

After taking all the items he wanted, Huo Yuhao leisurely approached Wang Dong, who was staring intently at a soul bone radiating golden light.

Name: Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone.

[Introduction: Originating from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Golden Earth Dragon King, it possesses the attribute of Light and is presumed to have the ability of Light Flame. Suitable for Light-type Soul Masters. Its attached skills are expected to be offensive.]

"The Golden Earth Dragon King possesses a pure but diluted bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan, and this soul bone contains the concentrated essence of this ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King's bloodline."

Price: 9.5 million Gold Soul Coins.

Seeing the price of this soul bone, Huo Yuhao finally understood why Wang Dong had been eyeing the soul bone for so long but hadn't made a move yet—it was probably because he hadn't brought enough money.

This can't be blamed on Wang Dong's eldest and second uncles. Logically speaking, the handful of gold soul coins that Wang Dong's second uncle casually grabbed should have at least several million gold soul coins, which would be more than enough to buy a ten-thousand-year soul bone. There's no reason why they shouldn't have enough to spend.

Unfortunately, this soul bone contains pure dragon blood, and even if it is somewhat diluted, it is still more valuable than those mixed bloodlines.

The only pity is that the golden earth dragon king that was killed only had a cultivation of more than 10,000 years. If its cultivation had exceeded 100,000 years, it would have been a beast king.

Compared to the Glazed Dragon we encountered in the Starry Sky Forest, the difference in the nobility of their bloodlines is like heaven and earth. Even if their lifespans were reversed, the Glazed Dragon with ten thousand years of cultivation would have almost no chance of defeating a Golden Earth Dragon King with only a thousand years of cultivation.

"How much more do we need?"

Huo Yuhao noticed Wang Dong's hesitation and asked.

"Even after the discount, we're still short about four million. I'm trying to contact my family."

Wang Dong looked longingly at the golden left arm bone in the cabinet. This soul bone was presented in a golden-red color and was actually floating in the display case. Five slender finger bones pointed upwards, and each fingertip emitted a faint golden-red light.

"By the time you finish contacting your family, the treasure hunt will have ended. Please retrieve it for me."

Huo Yuhao gestured to the girl beside him to help him take out the soul bone, and then handed over a gold soul coin card with a face value of five million and one million, as well as his own card with a 60% discount.

Wang Dong stared wide-eyed at Huo Yuhao's extravagant display of wealth: "When did you become so rich? Doesn't your barbecue restaurant only make around 500,000 yuan in profit after a year of hard work?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong, who was dumbfounded, and smiled with a puzzled expression in his big blue and pink eyes: "The profit sharing has been settled. The first share this time is about five million. Adding my previous savings and with the 60% discount, it's just enough."

"You forgot that you played a part in the development of the nested new melee soul tool. If it weren't for you providing the initial theoretical basis, Brother Ning and I would probably still be running around like headless flies."

Wang Dong still hesitated upon hearing this: "A 60% discount is practically a free gift, Yuhao. I think I understand the academy's intentions now."

"This is a privilege granted to you by the academy because of your special talent and exceptional attributes. The more valuable what you take from here, the greater the favor you owe the academy, and you will have to repay it in the future. At the very least, it will completely bind you to the academy."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly upon hearing this: "That's true, but I've been tied to the academy for a long time now, so isn't it normal to take some things from my own home?"

Wang Dong was taken aback by Huo Yuhao's explanation, but then realized that it seemed to be true.

"Huh? Yeah."

A look of certainty appeared in Wang Donglan's pink eyes.

"Well, then I owe you a big favor. Are you in a hurry for the money? If not, I'll ask my uncle for some money later, and pay you back together when I have enough."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said nothing more. Wang Dong's soul bone was not handed to him directly, but was taken down by the staff and handed over to them in the academy to ensure absolute confidentiality and security.

"You should go back first; I still have some things to do."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong wandered around the Treasure Pavilion for a while, and after confirming that there were no items that particularly attracted them, Huo Yuhao spoke to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong naturally understood that Huo Yuhao meant he needed to do something, so he turned and left, while Huo Yuhao stood in front of a wall.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of stones scraping against the ground rang out, and the wall in front of Huo Yuhao quickly retreated and then moved to the left, revealing a dark room in front of him in just a few seconds.

"Elder Mu, the two Grand Secretaries."

Huo Yuhao entered the dark room and saw the three smiling old men. Mu En sat in the middle, while the other two old men sat on either side.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, kid."

When Mu En saw Huo Yuhao walk in, he said with a smile, "You can call the lady next to me Elder Lin. She is the owner of the Treasure Pavilion of our academy. And the lady next to me is Elder Song, the mother-in-law of your master Qian Duoduo. Logically speaking, you should call her Master's wife."

"Hello, Elder Lin. Hello, Nun."

Huo Yuhao obediently greeted the two of them, and the two looked him over with satisfaction.

"Although Duoduo is usually a bit unruly, she has a good eye for apprentices. Even though it's thanks to Xiaoyan, it's still pretty good."

When Old Master Song heard Huo Yuhao call her "Master's Wife," he nodded in satisfaction and took out two pieces of rare metal from his jade storage bracelet: "You little rascal, you have a sweet tongue. Consider these two pieces of rare metal as a small gift."

Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief at the two rare metals in front of him, his eyes wide open. One of the rare metals was pure purple gold, which could greatly resist the penetration of spiritual power, and the other was solid deep-sea silver. Both were valuable items, and often there was no market for them.

"Thank you, Master. You are so kind. May you have boundless happiness and longevity."

Huo Yuhao's mind raced. Since his master's wife was so generous, he naturally had to be sweet-talking. As for his lack of eloquence...

It's alright, I can learn all of these. There's no difficulty that can't be overcome when faced with these two rare metals.
