Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 656 Seizing 100 Million in Gambling Funds (6K)

To achieve this, Huo Yuhao needed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a neutral celestial herb that his cheap ancestor had once eaten. It could circulate qi in the limbs, open the eight meridians, and allow one to cultivate an indestructible body.

His mental strength had already been enhanced by the nourishment of the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, and the powerful medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum could completely nourish Huo Yuhao's physical body, which had not been improved for a long time, and at the same time improve his own soul power level.

Moreover, as a top-grade neutral herb, the Qirong Tongtianju likely also has the effect of balancing the Yin and Yang in the body.

Huo Yuhao, carrying the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, leaped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. As Huo Yuhao slowly put the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum's stamen and petals into his mouth, he could feel a strong medicinal power instantly erupt in his mouth.

The drug's effects were as fierce as a flash flood, sweeping through his limbs and bones, giving him an unprecedented sense of impact.

The medicinal power was like a blazing flame, burning fiercely within his body, yet also like warm spring water, cleansing every meridian and acupoint. He could feel every cell in his body rejoicing, greedily absorbing the essence from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

As the medicine continued to penetrate, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel his physical abilities improving rapidly. His muscles became firmer and more powerful, as if they were brimming with boundless energy.

The medicinal power swept through his body like a storm, and every cell was revitalized by this force.

He could clearly feel the medicinal power surging within his body, constantly impacting his meridians and acupoints, as if trying to sculpt every detail of his body into something even more perfect.

As the medicine continued to penetrate, Huo Yuhao's body began to change.

Under the influence of the drug, his muscles became hard and elastic, as if injected with a powerful force. His bones also became stronger, as if they had been reshaped, and were able to withstand more intense attacks.

Such potent medicinal properties.

Huo Yuhao sighed in admiration. With his current physical condition, he could still feel such a strong impact after consuming this rare and precious chrysanthemum. One could only imagine how much his ancestor had improved when he consumed this immortal herb.

As time quietly passed, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that his cultivation was in a period of rapid growth.

The pure medicinal power flowed into Huo Yuhao's body, rapidly increasing his soul power level.

Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty!

Each advancement requires diligent daily practice, and months of arduous cultivation in a place abundant with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although Huo Yuhao couldn't clearly perceive the extent to which his soul power level had increased because he didn't have a sixth soul ring, he knew very well that the enhancement of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum's medicinal power was not yet over!

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Yin-Yang Eye, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes slightly, feeling the rapid improvement in his physical fitness and the domineering harmonizing power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Deep within Huo Yuhao's eyes, the blazing golden flames danced incessantly, while deep within his body, the chilling frost grew ever more profound under the influence of the medicine, even showing signs of reaching a level that could rival the Eye of True Sight.

With ice and fire harmonized and yin and yang complementing each other, at this moment, the ultimate dark power within Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was no longer a floating weed clinging to the depths of the martial soul, but rather another power that could continuously begin to condense.

Huo Yuhao flipped his right hand, and a golden sphere danced in his palm, radiating a magnificent and powerful force, as well as a reassuring warmth.

On Huo Yuhao's left palm, silently, only the temperature dropped slightly, a hollow circle, which looked like the deepest darkness due to the lack of light, silently appeared on Huo Yuhao's left palm, quietly swallowing everything around it.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and leaped out of the spring.

With ice and fire harmonized and yin and yang mutually generated, an indestructible body was formed.

The weather in Mingdu has turned cooler these past few days, especially after sunset each night when the temperature drops significantly.

There are several mining areas around Mingdu, so the air here is always worse than in other parts of the mainland. Only after a gust of wind does the air become clear.

Strolling along the streets of Mingdu, Wang Dong'er glanced at both sides of the road from time to time. "I still prefer the ancient and grand atmosphere of our Shrek City. The metallic feel here is too strong."

Huo Yuhao just chuckled at this: "This is also a change brought about by humans. If we really want to trace it back to nature, Shrek City should have been a gathering place for soul beasts without any signs of human activity back then."

"We always have to learn to accept new changes; it's an inevitable trend, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Wang Dong'er tilted her head, thinking that what Huo Yuhao said made a lot of sense, so she nodded.

The two discussed the proper relationship between humans and nature, and walked to the entrance of the Qingse Hotel, where Chen An had been waiting for a long time.

In the VIP lounge of the Qingse Hotel, Huo Yuhao looked at a list with a small number of items, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Chen An stood to the side, forcing a sheepish smile.

"Try your best! This little bit of rare metal isn't even enough for me to forge a level six soul tool. We can't keep trying to fool me with low-grade rare metals, can we?"

Chen An dared not refute, and could only explain in a humble voice, "Young Master Tian, ​​it's just that your gambling prowess is too strong!"

"He recklessly wagered 5.1 million gold soul coins on an odd number, and it multiplied twentyfold, reaching over 100 million gold soul coins. This... this... even a mine manager who deals in rare metals couldn't possibly gather 100 million high-grade rare metals in just a few days."

As the manager of the Golden Hall, Chen An, who had worked in the Xi Shui Alliance for decades, never dreamed that someone could actually bet on such an impossible probability and win a hundred million in gambling funds.

Even for a behemoth like the Xishui Alliance, this is definitely a considerable sum.

One hundred million gold soul coins, what does that mean?

Even Shrek Academy would be stunned for a moment before figuring out how to spend this money. If given to the three great empires, the infrastructure and public welfare projects that the three great empires had been holding back for who knows how long could be put on the agenda immediately.

Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, which has a complete range of soul tools, the infrastructure level of the three empires is far inferior. Building bridges, repairing roads, constructing dams, and opening up mountains—each of these livelihood projects requires the labor of farmers.

Although there is no extra money spent on corvée labor, meals still need to be provided. Isn't food money money?

If Huo Yuhao had 100 million gold soul coins, none of these things would be a problem, which shows just how much money that is.
