Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

He planned to accelerate the arrangements for the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, which naturally required him to control the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Alright." Unable to refuse, Ming Lei Douluo could only nod in agreement.

.......

Shrek Academy.

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with a worried expression and said, "Wang Dong, are you sure we want to go to the treasure appreciation event?"

I remember the last time we went to a treasure hunt, we were ambushed and killed.

"If we hadn't run fast, those guys would have killed us long ago."

A look of helplessness appeared on Wang Dong's face. She thought for a moment, organized her thoughts, and then said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xiao, you know that the reason we were ambushed last time was mainly related to Dai Huabin."

This guy did such a despicable thing. I was planning to find a chance to get revenge on him, but he was blown up by the Grim Reaper.

"Dai Huabin is no longer in the academy, and even his lover Zhu Lu has disappeared for a long time."

Currently, we have no enemies within the academy, so who would dare to harm us? Therefore, our trip to the treasure appreciation event is actually perfectly safe.

Xiao Xiao's expression softened. She actually wanted to go to the treasure fair to relax.

After all, she spends all her time in the academy, not only cultivating but also fighting with others to prepare for the next Soul Fighting Tournament.

This is undoubtedly a difficult task.

Xiao Xiao said, "Okay, then I'll go with you. By the way, are you going to wear men's clothes or women's clothes? That will determine whether I call you Wang Dong or Dong'er."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong was stunned. After a moment's thought, she said, "I will still wear men's clothes. You can still call me Wang Dong. As for wearing women's clothes, now is not the time."

She didn't have any good ideas, after all, it was her eldest and second fathers' request.

Moreover, if she chooses to revert to her female identity, she will definitely attract a lot of suitors, which is something she doesn't want to see.

Chapter 263 Xuanzi's Ingenious Plan

“Okay.” Xiao Xiao nodded. “Then let’s go to the treasure appreciation event now.”

Soon, the two set off from Shrek Academy, heading towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Generally speaking, once the core disciples of the outer academy receive an invitation, they can go to the Treasure Pavilion to participate in the treasure appreciation event.

But for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who have already been promoted to inner court disciples, they can set off to participate in the treasure appreciation event at any time if they wish, and the gates of the Treasure Pavilion will always be open for them.

Although they did not achieve good results in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, the root cause is that these team members should not bear the responsibility for Shrek Academy's poor performance.

Although the elders of the Sea God Pavilion are a bit old, they are not so confused as to be unable to distinguish right from wrong in such a simple matter.

In preparation for the next Soul Battle Tournament, the elders decided to increase their training for them. Wang Dong and his group of former preliminaries were able to obtain the status of inner court disciples. Of course, becoming an inner court disciple of Shrek Academy meant facing danger.

After all, according to the academy's rules, the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy are all members of the Shrek Inspection Team, shouldering the responsibility of hunting down evil soul masters. Basically, every year, inner court disciples sacrifice themselves in the process of hunting down evil soul masters.

Soon, the two arrived at Jubaoge.

The so-called Treasure Pavilion is actually a very huge building. It has four floors and is more than 20 meters high. It occupies a large area and is magnificent in appearance. Many people come and go at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

The four maids at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion greeted and saw off guests in a polite manner. The maids were all beautiful and had smiles on their faces, which made them very likable.

The two walked to the door, showed their identities as inner courtyard disciples to the maid, and were immediately escorted inside by a maid in a white dress.

After all, Shrek City is essentially Shrek Academy's territory, and any business has to rely on Shrek Academy to survive.

Those who dare to challenge the authority of Shrek Academy would naturally not be able to run any shops here.

The maid in the white dress looked at Wang Dong with an even more respectful expression: "Mr. Wang, we meet again. When you came here last time, you only took away a soul bone. I hope that you can still get what you want this time at the treasure appreciation event."

Jubao Pavilion is a rather special business because it is essentially an enterprise of Shrek Academy. The people here generally treat Shrek Academy members well. In addition, Wang Dong's promotion from a core disciple of the outer academy to a disciple of the inner academy has made the girl in the white dress even more respectful to him.

Wang Dong nodded and said, "I hope so. Let's go, take us to the treasure viewing party on the second floor."

That's what she said, but she didn't have much hope. After all, for someone like Wang Dong, the young sect master of the Haotian Sect, soul bones weren't a rare commodity. If she wanted, she could immediately collect a complete set of high-age soul bones.

However, being able to collect a complete set of high-age soul bones does not mean that every soul bone is extremely suitable for Wang Dong. This is because once a soul bone is fused, a great price must be paid to remove it. Therefore, Wang Dong's current selection of soul bones naturally prioritizes suitability.

"Please follow me, Mr. Wang and Miss Xiao." The maid in the white dress led Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao upstairs.

The three of them quickly arrived at the second floor, where a large number of booths came into view, each with clearly marked prices for its products.

The goods are diverse, including soul bones, soul tools, and a large number of resources to assist soul masters in their cultivation.

"They have whale glue!" Xiao Xiao looked excitedly at the display stand on her left. "And it's golden in color, much better than the inferior whale glue we saw at the last treasure appreciation event. By the way, what about that spoiled whale glue? Did someone buy it?"

An embarrassed look immediately appeared on the girl in the white dress: "No, basically no buyers are willing to purchase it. I guess it will probably just sit in the warehouse collecting dust."

“That’s more like it.” Wang Dong crossed his arms. “Although that stuff is supposed to be millennium whale glue, it’s black on the outside, which means it’s spoiled. If you take this kind of whale glue, it might even upset your stomach. Xiao Xiao, buy this golden whale glue, and then we can look at the other things.”

Xiao Xiao nodded, then immediately paid for the golden-yellow Millennium Whale Glue. Led by the girl in the white dress, the two continued to examine other items.

At this moment, two figures were standing on the third floor, watching Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's actions.

Elder Lin asked, "Elder Xuan, why are you so concerned about Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao? They're just here to buy things, yet you're secretly following them?"

As one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Lin's seat was near Xian Lin'er, so she was naturally considered a member of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. Of course, she also had the responsibility of managing the Treasure Pavilion, so she would sometimes come to the Treasure Pavilion to check on the situation.

Xuanzi said without turning his head, "I am someone who has made mistakes, so naturally I cannot allow outstanding students to have safety issues again. As for the others in the academy, I don't need to take too much care of them, after all, there are many elders in the academy."

But since Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao have already left the academy, I naturally have to follow them to prevent them from getting into trouble. After all, the last time Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao came here, they were intercepted and killed.

They were lucky last time and weren't killed, but if they'd been even less lucky, we wouldn't have been able to explain ourselves to the Haotian Sect.

"Elder Xuan's insight is profound." Elder Lin looked pleased, thinking to himself that although Elder Xuan had made mistakes, he was ultimately able to admit and correct them. As long as Elder Xuan was more serious in the future, the safety of the students should be guaranteed.

Xuanzi continued, "By the way, sell all that blackened whale glue in the warehouse to the Sun Moon Empire. Since this stuff has already gone bad, it can't be given to our students, otherwise they might get sick from it."

Elder Lin was somewhat astonished: "Elder Xuan, the people of the Sun Moon Empire aren't fools. Why would they want this kind of inferior whale glue?"

Xuanzi's face revealed a confident expression: "You don't understand. Recently, I received news that Mingdetang is going to buy a large batch of whale glue at a premium because of a shortage of whale glue resources. They will basically accept any kind of whale glue, regardless of its color."

Moreover, traders can choose not to accept gold soul coins but instead accept Mingdetang soul tools. These deteriorated whale glues are just sitting in the warehouse anyway, so why not take them out and exchange them for some Mingdetang soul tools?

Although I had a very poor impression of soul tools, I now admit that their significance in this era far surpasses what it once was, and you should also be aware of the value of the Mingde Hall's soul tools.

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin showed a look of surprise. Although she had the responsibility of managing the Treasure Pavilion, she usually spent most of her time in seclusion cultivating, all in order to make herself stronger.

Therefore, her sensitivity in receiving messages is actually not as good as Xuanzi's, who drinks and eats chicken legs all day long.

Chapter 264 Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue

Old Lin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll arrange for people to go to Mingde Hall to sell this item."

She had no doubts about the news that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy urgently needed whale glue, partly because she trusted Xuanzi and felt that Xuanzi would not lie to her.

On the other hand, it was because of her stereotypes about the Sun Moon Empire.

According to her, the Sun and Moon people, in order to take shortcuts and quickly improve their strength, already liked to eat all kinds of pills that could make them stronger.

Mingdetang accepts all whale glue, presumably for the purpose of making certain elixirs.

Although whale gelatin has a normal way of being consumed, there are also elixirs made from whale gelatin.

One good thing about pills is that once they are made into the shape of pills, no one will care what the raw materials used to make them actually look like.

.......

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Meng Hongchen brought Huo Yuhao to the purchasing department of Mingde Hall, where a batch of jet-black whale glue had been delivered today.

In fact, the order to purchase whale glue has always existed within Mingde Hall. After all, so many teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy want to use whale glue to increase the age of their soul rings.

The upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire also needed whale glue, which led to a persistent shortage of this product. However, whale glue comes from the sea, and the Sun Moon Empire's development of the ocean was not particularly extensive.

Therefore, even if it's spoiled whale glue, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will reluctantly accept it and use it to make pills.

Looking at the pile of blackened whale glue on the table, Meng Hongchen said, "Junior Brother Yuhao, you specifically asked me to pay attention to this kind of deteriorated whale glue a while ago. However, it is indeed very difficult to acquire this kind of whale glue."

After all, most Soul Masters, once they get their hands on whale glue, either sell it or consume it themselves. I've only ever seen this kind of blackened, spoiled whale glue a handful of times since I was born. If it weren't for good luck, we wouldn't be able to acquire this kind of whale glue at all.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Senior Sister Meng, do you know why I specifically mentioned this whale glue and made you pay attention to it?"

Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes darted around and landed on Huo Yuhao. She pondered Huo Yuhao's words for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "Is there a problem with this blackened whale glue?"

"Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded, not denying it. "In fact, it's not inferior whale glue, but ten-thousand-year-old whale glue."

I know you might think that ancient whale glue is dark yellow, but this blackish appearance is actually due to the whale glue weathering over time.

"I see." Meng Hongchen's eyes widened immediately. "Then isn't this a huge profit?"

Generally speaking, the price of Wannian Whale Glue is extremely high, as everyone wants to become stronger.

"We did make some money, but not a huge amount," Huo Yuhao said with a calm smile. Then he asked with some doubt, "By the way, where did these things come from? I think Mingdetang could acquire more of them."

Meng Hongchen immediately said, "These things were acquired from Shrek Academy. As for the person who issued the sales order, according to the Shrek teacher we traded with, it was Xuanzi."

Xuanzi thought this item wasn't very valuable and that it would be better to sell it and use the proceeds to buy a soul tool from Mingde Hall.

Xuanzi?

Huo Yuhao was stunned. He thought to himself that Xuanzi was quite muddle-headed. This thing was far more valuable than a thousand-year-old whale glue.

However, it's actually quite normal that Xuanzi couldn't see the value in this blackened whale glue.

After all, in the original novel, even Wang Dong, the young sect master of the Haotian Sect, failed to recognize the true identity of the black whale glue.

It was only after Huo Gua explained that Wang Dong learned the true identity of this type of whale glue.

"Then this ancient whale glue..."

“Take them all. You are the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire and have made many contributions. You deserve to enjoy a lot of benefits. You should choose these resources first, and then others can choose.” Meng Hongchen said from the side.

"Okay." Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony. Although his contributions to the Sun Moon Empire were essentially paving the way for his future control of the Sun Moon Empire, his contributions were real and tangible. Therefore, it was only right that he enjoyed good benefits.

So he put away the millennia-old whale glue and immediately took it back to consume. He did not choose to use the whale glue as a raw material for a pill, although the effects of the pill might be more potent. However, consuming such a pill could potentially damage one's potential.

He was unwilling to sacrifice potential for rapid short-term progress.

Taking elixirs that deplete one's potential in pursuit of rapid progress is undoubtedly a short-sighted act.

Just like Xiao Hongchen in the original novel, he took a special pill that rapidly raised his cultivation to the level of Soul Saint, but the price was that Xiao Hongchen's cultivation would not advance at all for five years.

To be honest, Xiao Hongchen in the original novel is too concerned about winning and losing and the honor of the Sun and Moon.

Otherwise, he should know that whether the Sun Moon Empire can surpass the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy has little to do with the outcome of the Soul Fighting Tournament.
