Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 52 Pills (Please continue reading, gentlemen, stop raising them!)

Huo Yuhao originally intended to give Bei Bei and Jie Qu each a Xuan Shui Pill; as the saying goes, those who see it will receive one.

Both Jiechu and Beibei helped Huo Yuhao a lot. For Huo Yuhao, the main reason he didn't use Xuan Shui Dan at first was that he didn't know it existed. But after learning about the price of Xuan Shui Dan on the black market from Beibei, Huo Yuhao stopped worrying about improving his aptitude in a short period of time.

After all, no matter how expensive the Xuan Shui Pill is, it still circulates on the black market. Although the Xuan Shui Pill costs more than 10,000 gold coins, it is not unaffordable for Huo Yuhao with his current annual income of more than 500,000 gold soul coins. This is the confidence that money brings to Huo Yuhao.

According to Beibei, although the Xuan Shui Dan is good, only the first Xuan Shui Dan has the most obvious effect and the best improvement on the cultivator's aptitude. Although subsequent Xuan Shui Dans will also have an effect, the effect is far less obvious than the first Xuan Shui Dan.

Although Huo Yuhao's innate soul power was only level one when he first awakened his martial soul, as he kept eating and repairing his deficiencies with various nutritious meats, his cultivation speed was now about the same as that of a typical soul master with innate soul power at level three or four.

Later, when Huo Yuhao absorbed the first soul ring given to him by Master Qian, the other party also opened up many of his meridians, increasing his cultivation speed by another 20%, which was already much faster than that of a typical innate soul master at level four.

That's why Huo Yuhao was considering whether to give one Xuan Shui Pill to Bei Bei and one to Jie Chu. After all, Huo Yuhao knew very well that after taking one Xuan Shui Pill, his cultivation aptitude would most likely be raised to the fifth level of the Innate Realm. However, if he took three, his cultivation speed would probably only reach the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

Beibei explained the function of the Xuan Shui Dan very clearly: it cleanses the marrow and tendons, essentially removing impurities from the body that are not conducive to cultivation, rather than clearing blocked meridians.

After raising his cultivation aptitude to the fifth level of innate soul power, if Huo Yuhao wants to continue to improve his cultivation speed, immortal-grade items may really be an unavoidable topic.

According to Qian Daoliu, there was once an Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo in the Spirit Hall whose spirit was the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. This is both a spirit and the name of a celestial product. After consuming it, one's blood can flow through the eight extraordinary meridians, one's qi can circulate through the limbs and acupoints, and one can forge an indestructible body. Only such a celestial product could perhaps truly allow Huo Yuhao to continue to improve his cultivation speed.

But when Huo Yuhao offered the remaining two Xuan Shui Pills to Bei Bei and Jie Qu, the two simply grinned and refused Huo Yuhao's kindness.

Zhu Jie spread his hands and said, "Chico (brother), my Mighty Vajra Bear Martial Soul's innate soul power is only level six. Do you want to guess why I was able to cultivate so quickly?"

Beibei shrugged, glanced at Xu Sanshi beside her, and said with a mocking look in her eyes. Everything was clear without her saying a word.

Huo Yuhao silently gave Xu Sanshi a thumbs up. He really hadn't expected that Xu Sanshi actually had the attribute of being a generous spender.

"Tsk tsk tsk, finally seeing something new from ten thousand years later. If it weren't for this Mysterious Water Pill, I would have thought I had only been asleep in the Spirit Realm for a few days, instead of sleeping for almost ten thousand years."

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind sinking into his spiritual sea. He looked at Qian Daoliu with some surprise and asked, "Elder Qian, what do you mean by that?"

"Tsk, what else can I say?" Qian Daoliu clicked his tongue in amazement, picking his teeth with a toothpick he had conjured with his spiritual power. He looked nothing like the former chief elder of the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Limit Douluo, but rather like an old man from next door who had just finished eating and was taking a stroll outside.

"Ten thousand years have passed. Apart from soul tools, what else has changed in Douluo Continent? The food, clothing, and daily necessities are basically the same as they were ten thousand years ago. The only thing that's somewhat interesting is the soul tools, but they were brought by the people of Sun Moon Continent."

"Honestly, if you didn't have this kind of pill that can change one's innate cultivation aptitude, I really wouldn't know what the people of Douluo Continent have been doing all these years."

Then, Qian Daoliu changed the subject: "Since this kind of pill that can improve innate aptitude has appeared in Douluo Continent and is sold so cheaply, I think there may be many other pills with different effects on Douluo Continent now. You can keep an eye out for them."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, acknowledging Qian Daoliu's analysis. Then, he suddenly turned to look at Qian Daoliu and asked, "Old Qian, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about the word 'cheap'?"

Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes at the shocked Huo Yuhao: "Is 10,000 gold soul coins a pill that can improve innate cultivation aptitude so expensive? I give Xue'er several million gold soul coins as pocket money every time. Besides, this is a pill that can improve cultivation aptitude."

Qian Daoliu tapped Huo Yuhao's illusory head in his spiritual sea with a hint of exasperation, saying, "Ten thousand years ago, this kind of pill that could improve cultivation aptitude would be priceless, let alone ten thousand gold soul coins, even if it were a million or ten million."

"The fact that the price of the Profound Water Pill can be reduced to 10,000 gold soul coins shows that pills are not scarce in the Douluo Continent at present. That's why I asked you to pay attention to other pills with different effects."

Qian Daoliu's explanation was insightful and profound, giving Huo Yuhao a sense of sudden enlightenment. The fact that he could analyze so much useful information from the effects and price of a single pill filled Huo Yuhao with awe.

Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; this is indeed true.

After swallowing a Xuan Shui Pill, Huo Yuhao felt a lazy mood almost fill him, as if he were floating. In his dream, he felt as if he were soaking in a refreshing pool, and the comfortable and clear feeling almost made him groan.

A rich surge of soul power emanated from Huo Yuhao's body. It was already night, and in the darkness, the faint blue light emanating from Huo Yuhao's body was particularly noticeable. A thin layer of mist could be seen floating on the surface of his body, and a faint, refreshing fragrance emanated from the mist.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's skin seemed to be pulsating slightly, and within this pulsation, subtle streams of energy emanated from his pores—this was the soul energy fluctuation he sensed. Meanwhile, the pale blue mist continuously flowed in and out of his pores. As time passed, the mist gradually deepened in color, while its delicate fragrance faded.
