Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

"Why is that...?"

Gu Yuena's face flushed red as she pondered, one hand tightly gripping her smooth, flowing silver hair, unable to find the answers to these questions at all.

The Silver Dragon King's brain was thus completely overloaded.

Gu Yuena: I don't understand. Don't I possess extraordinary wisdom?

"Teacher, is he in...Donghai City?" Gu Yuena took a deep breath and asked Leng Yaozhu as calmly as possible.

She decided that she had to go and see for herself later to confirm whether it was a coincidence or if he really was...

Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu Yuena's slightly flushed face, a mixture of curiosity and amusement on her face:

"Yes, Na'er. He was taken in as a disciple by the Mo Yuan branch tower master of Donghai City, and should be developing there for the time being. What, are you interested in this little boy whose talent is probably no less than yours?"

"Hmm... I am somewhat interested, teacher."

It's not just a little bit.

After pondering for a moment, Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly:

"In that case... after you've studied with the teacher at headquarters for a while, I'll send you to Donghai City to continue your training. It'll be good for you to leave your comfort zone, get to know such a gifted child, and gain experience in other places."

For Leng Yaozhu, she also hoped that Gu Yuena, as her closed-door disciple, could stay away from the power vortex of Mingdu, where various forces were deeply intertwined and engaged in open and covert struggles, during the early stages of her cultivation.

Although she didn't know why, Gu Yuena seemed so interested in this little boy who shared the same name as the first tower master...

However, seeing the shyness and curiosity of a young girl, or perhaps the competitive spirit of a genius, in her usually aloof and unapproachable closed-door disciple, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"Okay, teacher."

……

The Spirit Tower of Donghai City, top-floor cultivation room.

"Phew... Mission accomplished!"

"Achoo! Why do I keep feeling like someone's talking about me..."

After only about three weeks of training, Huo Yuhao broke through the level 20 threshold and became a Great Soul Master.

After absorbing another million-year soul ring from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, his soul power level has now reached level twenty-two.

After stretching and feeling refreshed, Huo Yuhao walked out of the cultivation room and saw Titan Snow Demon King still waiting quietly in the outer room, protecting him.

Immediately, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of emotion and asked with heartfelt concern, "Atai, you've worked hard. Take a good rest for a while afterward."

This cultivation room is now filled with the rich aura of ice, perhaps even more suitable for your life than the far north. From now on, you can rest or cultivate here.

He wouldn't be like the Buddha Tang, constantly exploiting his subordinates like Da Ming and Er Ming without giving them any benefits.

"Thank you for your reward, my lord!" Titan Snow Demon King naturally sensed that the environment in this cultivation room was extremely suitable for him after Huo Yuhao's arrangement, so a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "It is only my duty to protect you here on my lord's orders."

After saying that, the Titan Snow Demon King went on to report to Huo Yuhao on the events that had occurred over the past three weeks:

"Also, my lord, all the items that the Spirit Pagoda has sent over this period of time are here. Please take a look."

"Okay... this also comes with a storage soul tool."

Huo Yuhao took the storage ring handed to him by Titan Snow Demon King, scanned the approximately twenty-square-meter storage space inside with his mental power, and then his eyes widened slightly.

This level of storage ring was nothing to Huo Yuhao, who had once been a level 10 Soul Master, but he still felt that the contents inside were quite good.

"It seems this branch tower master of Mo Yuan is quite sincere..."

Huo Yuhao checked each of the delivered items one by one, and generously transferred them to his starlight sapphire storage bracelet.

"First are the pills... three Soul-Enhancing Pills to improve soul power, three Spirit-Nourishing Pills to improve mental power, and various other pills to strengthen the foundation and improve physical fitness."

As early as 10,000 years ago, Huo Yuhao carried out large-scale improvements to the alchemy technology of the Sun Moon Empire, which was famous for its "drug use" in order to reduce its side effects as much as possible and reduce costs while increasing efficiency.

His Soul Guiding Gradient Refinement Method successfully improved the efficacy of many elixirs.

For example, the Soul Ascension Pill is most common and has the highest number of users in the Sun and Moon Empire.

It has the simple and direct but very practical effect of amplifying soul power, but it has a strict limitation that it can only be taken once in a lifetime, and taking it too many times will seriously affect the soul master's future cultivation.

The improved method developed by Huo Yuhao is to use the Soul Guidance Gradient Refining Method to first separate the "Soul Power Crystallization Impurities" and "Vicious Medicinal Byproducts" in the Soul Ascension Pill liquid, which have different sedimentation rates from the benign components, using a gradient soul force field. Then, the separated liquid is subjected to low-temperature condensation and centrifugal extraction. Finally, a guiding mark simulating the natural growth fluctuation of a Soul Master's soul power is injected to form the pill.

In this way, although the amount of soul power amplification is reduced, the side effects of the Soul Ascension Pill are greatly reduced.

After the improvements, each low-level Soul Master can safely take between three and five pills without side effects, depending on their physique. The impact of overdose on future cultivation limits has also been greatly reduced.

It can be said that the Sun Moon Empire's army was able to have fifteen heavy armored brigades composed of nearly 100,000 low-level soul masters in the later stages because of the Soul Ascension Pills that Huo Yuhao had improved.

The drug-fueled dynasty has arrived.

For a large number of Soul Masters and Soul Strategists who have no hope of advancing to the Soul Grandmaster level or above, the improved Soul Advancement Pills that can be obtained by joining the Sun Moon Empire are naturally quite attractive.

The Nourishing Spirit Pill is a pill developed by Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago based on the principle of the Soul Ascension Pill, used to enhance spiritual power. Its effects and side effects are basically the same.

"I wonder how effective these elixirs are now after ten thousand years of development... They must have improved quite a bit, right?"

Huo Yuhao decided to save these pills until after he advanced to level 30, in order to speed up his breakthrough to the Soul Master level as much as possible.

Besides the elixirs, Mo Yuan gave Huo Yuhao many other things.

For example, there was a token for a disciple of the branch tower master, forged from star silver and warm to the touch, as well as a Sun and Moon Bank savings card with a note indicating an initial amount of 500,000 Federal Credits and a high monthly allowance of 50,000.

In addition, there are several internal books of the Spirit Pagoda, a soul guide information storage disk containing a large amount of information from various fields, as well as daily necessities such as apartment access cards and formal attire for core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda.

As his fingertips traced the cool, silver surface of the savings card, a complex emotion flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

This scene of being appreciated and receiving resources is all too familiar—ten thousand years ago, when he first entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and was spotted by Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, he had experienced almost the same starting point.

Now that he has initially established himself in Donghai City, he should be able to go to the undead demiplane to awaken his elder, benefactor, and other family members after some time.
