Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 679 Building a Career (Part 1)

Ye Wen continued to stay at the Huo residence during the rest of the holiday.

There was nothing he could do; having grown accustomed to having experts guide him, Ye Wen felt he could never go back to the days of tinkering with the path of cultivation alone.

Huo Rui's martial soul is different from ordinary martial souls. In addition, when Huo Rui was a commoner in the early days, she could hardly obtain a soul ring that could provide direct combat ability. Therefore, Huo Rui began to study her own physical skills from a very early age. Now that she has reached the peak of Soul Saint, she can rival Soul Douluo for a short time with her super explosive power.

With guidance from such a top martial arts master, coupled with Ye Wen's own basic knowledge of boxing, Ye Wen's combat ability improved dramatically during the short holiday.

Moreover, Ye Wen didn't know why. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student, but when he received guidance from Huo Rui, he was always able to make connections and understand things from different perspectives. It seemed that he had mastered similar abilities a long time ago, but he had just regained them during rehabilitation.

It's a very subtle feeling.

However, feeling that there was no clue to this, Ye Wen quickly stopped worrying about it and directly attributed this talent to the benefits of his transmigration.

But even the best martial arts are just routines. If a Soul Master doesn't have a strong physique to support them, it's all just castles in the air.

So after Huo Rui taught Ye Wen some martial arts routines, she let him train his body on his own.

Ye Wen agreed wholeheartedly and did not feel that Huo Rui was hiding anything. He was happy to accept it, since Huo Yu'er had also received such teachings.

Compared to school, holidays are always short, and before Ye Wen knew it, the second semester had begun.

Ye Wen wasn't one to show off, so even though most of the second semester had passed, no students knew that Ye Wen, whom they considered a waste, had actually become a first-ring Soul Master. During this time, Ye Wen also started receiving a government job from the Spirit Hall.

One gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a year. Just by becoming a soul master, one can obtain it. This makes Ye Wen realize that becoming a soul master is indeed the simplest way to achieve upward social mobility.

"But that's not enough." Ye Wen, who had received another month's subsidy, gripped the gold soul coins in his hand, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Ye Wen has now completely escaped poverty and truly achieved a life free from worries about food and clothing. In fact, if Ye Wen wanted to get married, he only needed to reveal his identity as a Soul Master, and there would be plenty of girls willing to marry him.

But this is not what Ye Wen wanted.

"Although Grandma Huo takes good care of me and Yu'er likes me very much, in order for our relationship to not collapse in the future, I must constantly strengthen myself, because only love that supports each other can last."

If only one party in a relationship is constantly taking, the relationship will eventually deteriorate.

Ye Wen thought to himself.

Although Ye Wen was someone who had never been in a relationship in his previous life, he was still able to find his own views on love amidst the rampant online chatter of relationship gurus.

Ye Wen has never been favored by the opposite sex, so in Ye Wen's view, so-called love should be mutual tolerance, achievement and support between men and women, rather than the abnormal demands of gold diggers or gigolos.

So after accumulating some initial capital, Ye Wen wanted to start a small business.

With Ye Wen's knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, it would be a complete game-changer for Douluo Continent, just like Tang San's experience. He could easily build a great enterprise with that knowledge.

But Ye Wen knew very well that whether it was the ordinary world of his previous life or a supernatural world like Douluo Continent, if there was no strong enough background behind the huge profits, he would be devoured by the wolves at the top, and in more serious cases, he would be completely ruined.

Although Ye Wen currently has two Soul Douluo-level powerhouses backing him, he is merely an ordinary second-rate force in the context of the entire Douluo Continent, unable to protect the real big picture.

Therefore, Ye Wen plans to start small.

Although Ye Wen had never started a business before, he knew that he was not a person favored by fate and could not possibly succeed by doing something recklessly. Therefore, since the beginning of this second semester, Ye Wen had done a lot of small investigations.

This survey also led Ye Wen to discover a blank market.

That is the pharmaceutical market.

Although there is some research on medicines in Douluo Continent, it is still in a very rudimentary stage, and most of these medicines are for the dominant group of Soul Masters in this world.

Although no pills similar to those in Dou Er have been created yet, medicinal baths and poisons are already readily available.

However, both of these directions are the apple of the eye of those powerful forces, and ordinary soul masters can't even touch them.

However, Ye Wen was self-aware from the beginning and did not think about this aspect. What Ye Wen wanted to do was to develop medical drugs for ordinary people.

Although the common people in Douluo Continent are very poor, so poor that almost everyone has to wear patched clothes.

However, in an era where ordinary people simply cannot afford to hire a healing soul master to save their lives, even a common minor illness can send a person to their death.

In Ye Wen's view, if the cost of just a few meals could save a person from the brink of death, most poor families would surely grit their teeth and pay the money.

After all, money can be earned back, but life is truly only given to you once.

However, although Ye Wen had a clear entrepreneurial plan, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.

As mentioned before, most of the medicinal herbs in Douluo Continent exist primarily to strengthen or kill Soul Masters.

Therefore, after Ye Wen's investigation, it was found that ordinary Chinese medicinal herbs simply do not exist in this world.

However, time is on Ye Wen's side. Ye Wen, who has no desire to fight for power and profit, has plenty of time to slowly create his own formula.

Although the field of traditional Chinese medicine is very mysterious, Ye Wen discovered the hidden uses of martial souls after obtaining his first soul ring.

Nana's Martial Soul is naturally adept at sensing changes in the elements. After obtaining her first Soul Ring and letting Ye Wen know that she had acquired spatial attributes, Ye Wen discovered that by storing things in Nana's Martial Soul, he could roughly understand the effect of those objects on him.

Stone, hard, composed of earth element, is inedible.

Lake water, composed of water elements, contains a large number of impurities; drinking it will cause severe diarrhea. Slightly toxic.

River shrimp are small creatures that harbor a large number of tiny organisms. They are edible but may cause mild diarrhea.

Ye Wen conducted countless experiments with various kinds of sensory data, and as he became more proficient, the information he obtained became more and more detailed.

As Ye Wen discovered the characteristics of each plant, he couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary his martial soul was, a martial soul version of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.
