Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world and inheriting the Angel of Time

Chapter 81 The Money-Giving Hermit, the Evil Soul Master, and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cold Marrow

Let me tell you about the unusual thing about my mother.

As the young master of the Earth Dragon Sect, Nan Qiuqiu felt like dying.

Looking at her mother, who was high above her, dignified and elegant, she really found it hard to believe that her mother was not her father.

This hobby is truly unique.

"Mother, I'm warning you first, don't make a fool of yourself later, or I'll tie you up tonight." Nan Qiuqiu waved her little fist, a hint of threat flashing in her bright eyes.

"Really?"

Nan Shuishui's eyes lit up. She snapped her fingers, pulled out a rope, and, with breaths like ocean waves, eagerly handed it over.

"You you you you————"

"Incomprehensible."

Nan Qiuqiu snatched the rope, threw it heavily on the ground, and stormed out the door.

Fortunately, the elder who had been notified earlier left after delivering the information; otherwise, she would have had to consider killing him to silence him.

Inside the room, the once-stunned, beautiful woman's face changed color. She pounded the table with unusual seriousness and murmured, "Why would the master of the Spirit Pagoda come to a small sect like mine?"

"Even a merger wouldn't happen in such a remote place."

"Could it be that you want me to introduce you to the royal family?"

"But people usually don't need their status, so what's the point?"

the other side.

Under the guidance of the elder, Huo Yuhao observed the Earth Dragon Gate.

This place has mountains and water.

Everywhere there are pink flowering trees.

It is indeed a fairyland.

Just as Huo Yuhao was observing the disciples fighting, a figure suddenly appeared within his mental detection range.

She was a woman no less capable than Meng Hongchen, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit that showcased her exquisite figure, and possessed remarkable confidence despite her young age.

With such a demeanor and appearance, he is clearly not an ordinary person.

Of course, Huo Yuhao could tell more from the fact that her clothes were not those of a disciple of the Earth Dragon Sect.

"Tower Master, that is Nan Qiuqiu, the young sect master of our Earth Dragon Gate. She will lead you to the sect master." An elder on the side bowed slightly and introduced her simply.

"Is she Nan Qiuqiu?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl in front of him and nodded slightly, saying, "I am Xiao Yan of the Spirit Pagoda."

He was indeed familiar with this person.

Her martial soul is a rare annihilation attribute, the Rouge Dragon.

He fought against Huo Yuhao in the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Competition in the original work, and joined the Tang Sect after losing.

He was promoted to level 91 Title Douluo in the finale.

She was given the title "Rouge".

It is also a promising stock.

"Respected Tower Master, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I will take you to see your mother now." Nan Qiuqiu looked at the young man in front of her, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Even though she already knew that Huo Yuhao was very young.

But when I actually saw it, I realized I was wrong.

It's more than just being young.

They're way too young.

The boy, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, was already a Soul Saint and the master of the Spirit Pagoda, with one of the forces behind him possessing Limit Douluo level experts.

Huo Yuhao followed behind Nan Qiuqiu, glancing at the many disciples around them who possessed spirits, and asked, "Miss Nan, may I ask what you think of my Spirit Transfer Tower?"

"I think it's very good; this kind of spirit should become the mainstream in the future."

Nan Qiuqiu stretched out her fair little hand, and with a burst of pink light, a soul beast of similar type, but with ferocious dragon horns and strange scales covering its body, appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

This is a soul beast that possesses some of the bloodline of a dragon.

It put its hands on its hips, pointed at Nan Qiuqiu with its black claws, and said something incomprehensible.

Judging from his angry expression, he had clearly hurled a lot of insults.

"What did you do to him?"

Huo Yuhao looked at his own soul in this state and found it rather strange.

This soul beast has over four thousand years of cultivation, and because it possesses the bloodline of a dragon, it has long been intelligent.

To prevent the spirits from disobeying the spirit master, he had already included some warnings in the spirit contract.

All spirit beasts that possess a spirit understand what that spirit truly means. Generally speaking, once a spirit master gains its approval, they will become partners who share both glory and ruin.

But the way this person was pointing at their own Soul Master and swearing seemed a bit off.

Upon hearing the familiar words, the spirit turned around and saw Huo Yuhao. It rushed over, hugged his clothes, and began to cry.

Although I don't understand what it means.

It seems to be complaining about its owner's bad points.

"This—" Seeing her own spirit in this state, Nan Qiuqiu couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on her face, and quickly reached out and picked it up.

Turning his back to Huo Yuhao, he stared straight at it and warned, "If you complain, I'll make sure you suffer the same fate as my mother."

"Chirp!!"

Upon hearing this, the spirit turned pale with fright.

"It's nothing, I'm just hungry. Let's hurry up and go." Nan Qiuqiu put away her soul and gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Um."

Huo Yuhao gave Nan Qiuqiu a slightly strange look and nodded.

To be honest, given his mental strength...

He could hear it clearly from that distance.

In addition, Hyotei gave him a rather interesting translation in the Sea of ​​Spirit just now.

The spirit just said it wanted to go home.

This place is terrifying.

This soul is not right, it's very wrong.

He likes to play with whips and whip people.

It was terrified that it would be next.

This is the same kind of treatment given to the mother that Nan Qiuqiu just mentioned.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, the bizarre image of Nan Qiuqiu hanging her mother and whipping her couldn't help but surface.

Judging from the original work, shouldn't this be a gentle and refined young lady, or at least a bit rough when fighting?

Do they have such a fun-loving relationship in private?

Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, he arrived outside a room with an extremely luxurious exterior.

"Master, my mother is inside," Nan Qiuqiu said, standing at the door.

Thank you.

Huo Yuhao nodded and went inside.

Unlike the exterior, the interior is not decorated with gold; instead, it is remarkably simple.

One table, two sofas.

There were many bookshelves scattered around, but strangely, there wasn't a single book on them; instead, there were various props.

Whips and ropes were the most common items.

Looking ahead, he saw a woman who looked remarkably like Nan Qiuqiu bowing to him and saying, "This humble woman is Nan Shuishui. Greetings, Tower Master. Please take a seat."

You're too kind.

Huo Yuhao sat opposite them, while Nan Qiuqiu made tea for them from behind.

"Lord Tower Master, I am a straightforward person. I wonder if you have come here on some important matter?" Nan Shui Shui did not stand on ceremony at all, but instead directly asked the question that was on her mind.

"I've heard that your sect's forbidden area is an extremely cold place. Unfortunately, I am the epitome of ice, so I'm somewhat interested in that place." Huo Yuhao picked up the steaming tea and took a sip; it was somewhat sweet.

"Forbidden area?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She hesitated before saying, "That place—only the sect leader can go there; it's generally not open to the public."

"Is that so?"

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by this.

After all, it was rather arrogant of him to demand the forbidden area ahead.

However, there are ways to overcome this problem.

Huo Yuhao took out a purple token and said calmly, "The Spirit Pagoda can cooperate with the Earth Dragon Gate, and the price of soul spirits can be reduced by 10%."

"This—" Nan Shuishui's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she hesitated before saying, "The elders of the sect might not agree."

"Our Dilongmen family is large and wealthy, so we're not actually that short of money."

Simply put, is it a polite way of saying no?

It looks like the only option is to sneak in.

"Fine, just pretend I was never here," Huo Yuhao sighed.

Just as he reached out to take back the token, Nan Shuishui suddenly grabbed the other half of it, her bright eyes staring straight at Huo Yuhao as she said, "Tower Master, it's not that I can't agree."

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao looked at the person in front of him with surprise. "Does the sect leader have any other requests?"

"You need to pay more!"

After some haggling...

Huo Yuhao sacrificed one core disciple, three inner disciples, and five outer disciples of the Spirit Transmission Tower to indirectly bring the Earth Dragon Sect under his command.

Simply put, the Earth Spirit Sect wants a powerful backer.

Now, Huo Yuhao, this powerful ally, is right in front of me.

So they climbed up.

From now on, the Earth Dragon Gate can still be called the Earth Dragon Gate, but it also belongs to the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"Master Tower, please guide me in the future."

Outside the forbidden area, Nan Shuishui laughed like a fool.

"Well, since you are the first sect to join my Spirit Pagoda, you will build a Spirit Pagoda in Earth Dragon City, which will be under the jurisdiction of your Earth Dragon Sect."

Faced with this force that is eager to give people away.

Huo Yuhao didn't mind giving the other party some more benefits.

"Really?" Nan Shuishui asked in disbelief.

"That's right. You can hold the position of Tower Master concurrently, but I will arrange the position of Deputy Tower Master." Huo Yuhao nodded silently and said.

Actually, this is a pretty good way of operating.

The management and development are handed over to local strongmen, while internally, they also have their own people used for intimidation.

As long as this Spirit Pagoda still remembers him, Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, he wouldn't mind letting anyone build the Spirit Tower.

"Thank you, Tower Master, thank you, Tower Master." Nan Shuishui was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Not only did she find a wealthy man to marry?

They also possessed a spirit transmission tower.

If her ancestors for eighteen generations knew, they would be so happy they'd crawl out of their coffins.

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and stepped into the forbidden area.

As soon as he entered, he sensed a chill.

"Snow Empress, are you there?"

Huo Yuhao called out softly.

"Hmm, is this the place of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frozen Marrow?"

Before anyone knew it, Xue Di's figure appeared beside Huo Yuhao, as if she were a ghost, leaving no trace.

"That's right, it should be right below that well." A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's heterochromatic eyes; no energy in the world could hide from him.

He could clearly see that the cold air around him was emanating from the well in front of him.

"Here?" The Snow Empress tilted her head, a hint of doubt in her crystal-clear eyes, and asked, "But in my perception, there is no difference. It's just simple cold air, not even reaching the level of extreme ice."

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

If that's what Xue Di said, does that mean there really isn't one here?

But this is something he saw in a novel.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be fake.

"Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look first."

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Okay," Xue Di agreed.

Since we're already here, we can't just take a quick look and leave, can we?

That's far too hasty.

Before going down, Huo Yuhao specially summoned Zafkiel, shot himself, and left behind a clone.

He's going down, and it might take a long time.

Regardless, it would be good to send a clone to investigate the situation at the Earth Dragon Gate.

He was still somewhat concerned about the evil thoughts of that evil spirit master.

What if the evil spirit master really comes and destroys the Earth Dragon Gate?

In the original story, the Heavenly Soul Empire was also attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult of the Sun Moon Empire. Since it was conquered so quickly, there might really be evil soul masters hiding here.

The goal was very likely to unify the sun and the moon.

Although he also wanted to unify the world, he absolutely could not allow the evil spirit masters to unify it.

Especially because of his intervention, Tang San was stopped by the God of Destruction.

He might not see that scoundrel in the short term.

At that time, the Valley of Love and Destiny will be gone, and no lesser villain will personally descend to the mortal realm to stop the Sun and Moon Army.

If we don't take some precautions...

Who knows, we might actually end up losing our boat in the gutter.

Tang San: "Thank you so much."

"Let's go down."

After sending his clones out, Huo Yuhao looked at the well emitting icy air and jumped into it without hesitation, with Xue Di following behind.

It was a cold spring, with a temperature below zero, but not quite at the extreme of ice. Huo Yuhao felt nothing there.

It flows straight down without any obstruction, and the temperature of this cold spring is no different from that outside.

Leaving aside the ice and fire body tempering, I've long since achieved immunity to both ice and fire.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion alone was enough to ensure that he could survive in the far north without clothes on.

Moreover, this level of coldness.

The bottom of the cold spring was unfathomable; even when Huo Yuhao used his spiritual sense to probe for thousands of meters, he couldn't see where it went, which was quite strange.

The deeper you dive.

The lower the surrounding temperature, the better.

Especially at a depth of 3,000 meters, it is comparable to the finest ice.

But we still haven't seen it reach that point.

Huo Yuhao and Xue Di exchanged a glance, both understanding what was on their minds.

It seems there really might be some ancient, cold marrow here.

Just as Huo Yuhao and Xue Di accelerated their descent, Huo Yuhao's clone discovered a problem on a rooftop.

Huo Yuhao lay on the warm tiles, bathed in sunlight, listening quietly to the discussion below.

"The sect leader just announced that he has pledged allegiance to the Spirit Pagoda and will build a Spirit Pagoda in Earth Dragon City."

"Indeed, this is a big problem. Having a Spirit Pagoda as a backer would have made little difference to us. But if she establishes the Spirit Pagoda and they arrange for a Title Douluo to suppress Nan Shuishui, it will be very detrimental to our plans."

"This is indeed a big problem."

"I suggest we contact headquarters immediately and clear out the Earth Dragon Gate in advance."

"I agree +10"

"Then it's decided. We'll do it this way—this way—this way—maybe that we can also eliminate the huge danger of the Spirit Pagoda in the future."

"That's right. Even if the tower master is just a Soul Saint, he definitely has the potential to be granted a title in the future. It's definitely a good idea to deal with him in advance."

Hearing the plan below, Huo Yuhao sneered.

In his perception, there were actually three Soul Douluos below. If he had the means to deal with them all at once, he could have crippled them right now.

However, they also learned about the other side's plan.

If we join forces with Nan Shuishui, we should be able to resolve this.

If all else fails, then let Xue Di stop exploring for now.

With that in mind, Huo Yuhao headed to Nan Shuishui's residence to discuss the matter.

On Huo Yuhao's side.

He and Xue Di finally reached the bottom of the cold spring, where there was a large springhead, big enough for people to pass through.

At the same time, the cold here exceeded the level of extreme ice, and even Huo Yuhao had to circulate his soul power to resist it.

-

Otherwise, the body will feel cold, and the joints will be affected to some extent.

The two then passed through the spring and moved a short distance before the path ended, and another wall blocked their way.

It's more like a door than a wall, a door that was installed by man, only its shape resembles a wall.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Emperor's Claw."

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao conjured a long spear and thrust it fiercely at the wall in front of him.

Instantly, the entire spring water surged and gushed, and the wall swayed but was not completely shattered.

"That's really sturdy. Snow Empress, it's up to you now."

Since he couldn't break through with a single, all-out shot, Huo Yuhao had no intention of trying again.

Anyway, Xue Di is here.

You can rely on her completely.

"good!"

Xue Di nodded, her fair little hands moving in the air, extreme cold swirling around them, and even the surrounding cold water showed signs of gradually freezing.

The strange spring water is so cold yet it hasn't frozen, but now, under the power of the Snow Emperor, it's showing signs of freezing.

It's easy to imagine the Snow Empress's strength.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the wall in front of them shattered into pieces, revealing a pitch-black space inside.

Huo Yuhao and Xue Di immediately vanished from their spot in a flash, traversing space and entering the area behind the wall.

Behind the wall was still seawater, but it wasn't flowing downstream; instead, it was a straight road.

The two continued swimming forward, and light appeared ahead.

The water flowed continuously downwards, and the thunderous sound of the water was particularly deafening. The waterfall was already quite amazing, but Huo Yuhao and his companion's attention was drawn to something else.

The tree that came into view was a cave, also an ice cave, with a temperature even lower than outside, but not yet at the level of the Snow Emperor.

But the water here, and even the ice in the cave, can be considered the ultimate ice; many ice blocks have formed minerals, which are deep blue in color.

"This is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Marrow Cave!" The Snow Empress exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the scene before her. "I never imagined that such a large-scale ice-attribute environment would exist here."

Clearly, what lies before us is the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.

It's a great tonic for ice-attribute soul beasts.

"That's right, this is the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, I can vouch for it." Tianmeng, sensing the familiar aura outside his spiritual sea, immediately ended his cultivation, ran outside, and explained, drooling.

As an insect that once grew up eating water that had been frozen for thousands of years, it has a lot to say about this.

"Shut up!" Ice Emperor rushed out and punched Tianmeng. "How dare you not cultivate? You should know that your actions are greatly slowing down Yuhao's progress."

"Don't you want to witness the legacy of the gods?"

Just as Hyotei was cursing and swearing, a strange light from the outside suddenly caught her attention.

"This...this is actually ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow, and there's so much of it."

Hyotei walked along, muttering to themselves, slightly surprised by the environment.

With her discerning eye, she could naturally identify these ancient, cold marrows. She had eaten one before and still couldn't forget it.

"Don't worry, we all get a share."

Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side, laughed.

They were surprised that the tree was normal. After all, this was not like the icy environment of the far north, where the low temperatures year-round provided excellent conditions for the formation of the millennia-old Xuanbing marrow.

It's almost impossible for a piece of ancient ice marrow to form in such a place.

But somehow it actually formed here, and it even costs tens of dollars, which is quite amazing.

Even he couldn't explain the specific reason.

Aside from the fact that it can only be simply attributed to a change in geographical location, and that the third young master of the Tang family moved from other places, one can only say that the third young master of the Tang family is terrifyingly powerful.

That person can change the entire Douluo Continent with a flick of their wrist.

After walking for a while, Huo Yuhao saw another small cave, about ten square meters in size and less than one and a half meters high.

Inside the cave are many strange ice pillars, more than a dozen in total, crisscrossing each other, varying in size, each one as white as jade.

Huo Yuhao looked at the ice pillars without any surprise; he had already observed them using his mental detection.

These ice pillars are no ordinary objects; they are all made of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, each containing a much larger amount of ice-attribute energy than the ones on the outside.

The age of these cells is probably over ten thousand years.

Although it may not be 100,000 years old, it should be 50,000 to 60,000 years old, and one root is equivalent to ten of those smaller roots outside.

These dozen or so ice pillars do not mean that there are only a dozen or so ancient ice marrow.

Some icicles are about the size of a human thigh, with several smaller icicles on top, just like trees with a main trunk and branches.

A closer look reveals that there are a total of twenty-three strands of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Marrow here, not just a dozen or so.

For ice-attribute soul masters, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is a priceless treasure; even a single piece is worth more than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. The Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow can not only cause a Soul Master's cultivation to increase dramatically in a short period of time.

It can also improve the quality of the martial soul of ice-attribute soul masters, and those who reach the ultimate ice will thus become the ultimate martial soul.

The benefits of directly upgrading the quality of one's martial soul to its peak are equivalent to those of a 100,000-year-old soul bone, not to mention the benefits of increased soul power.

"This place is perfect for us," Huo Yuhao said with a light laugh.

His greatest power lies in the far north.

Even his subordinates Meng Hongchen and Su Tong can transform into ultimate ice through this rare and precious material. It's simply amazing.

Those people from the Earth Dragon Gate should have discovered this as well.

Those man-made gates are the best proof.

However, the people of the Earth Dragon Gate were unable to take these things, which must be related to their strength.

In such an extremely low-temperature environment, no one without the strength of a Title Douluo can even think about getting close. Even an ultimate Ice Soul Master would need the strength of a Soul Douluo.

There are currently no Title Douluos in the Earth Dragon Gate.

It's very likely that this information was only known to the Earth Dragon Gate a long time ago.

Without a titled Douluo, it means they can't enter this place, leaving them guarding a treasure mountain but unable to use it.

The fact that Nan Shuishui was given to him so easily is likely because, over the long years and without the emergence of any titled Douluo, this place may have been forgotten.

Otherwise, with so little stuff, I would have given this place to him.

That means the South Water Water isn't that generous.

They've all become lay Buddhists who charge extra fees.

I doubt they would be that generous.
