Douluo: Gu Master Yuhao, they have a big problem

This is food diplomacy.

……

After finishing their dinner leisurely, the two did not go home directly, but continued to stroll among the vendors outside the north city gate.

Wang Dong said excitedly: "Since we are here, I will take you around the city so that you can broaden your horizons."

"alright."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, thinking it was a good idea to combine work and rest.

Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. You can't just work in isolation.

The same is true for the practice of soul masters. Simply focusing on meditation is the least efficient way of practice.

As for the Jubao Pavilion, Huo Yuhao thought about it and finally did not suggest going there.

Just let nature take its course.

With their current status, without an invitation letter, they might not even be able to enter the Jubao Pavilion and would be stopped outside, which would be troublesome.

A mere ten thousand year old whale glue was not worth all the fuss he made over it.

And without a certain amount of gold soul coins on me, I don’t feel very confident.

There are less than 10,000 gold soul coins in my storage space, which makes me feel really insecure.

As one of the most prosperous cities in Douluo Continent, Shrek City is much more lively at night than during the day.

There are bustling crowds and noisy sounds everywhere. At a glance, there are dense streams of people coming and going in an endless stream.

The lights illuminated every street in Shrek City. In this prosperous and brilliant light, the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.

It feels a bit like being in the crowded night market on Blue Star.

“Let’s go.” Huo Yuhao naturally held Wang Dong’s hand and smiled gently: “Don’t get separated.”

"Ah."

Wang Dong felt a burning sensation in his ears and nodded.

Just like Yuhao said, there were just too many people and they were worried about getting lost.

……

After getting in a good mood, Wang Dong took Huo Yuhao to wander among the vendors' stalls and various shops, stopping to admire the dazzling array of goods and buying the items they liked.

Although he had the memories of his past life, the customs of this alien world really opened Huo Yuhao's eyes and the experience was truly worthwhile.

Of course, it would be better if there weren't so many people.

Until the two came to a large shop.

Seen from a distance, this shopping mall has four floors and is over twenty meters high. The building itself occupies a large area and its appearance is magnificent, like a treasure pot.

This is the Treasure Pavilion, which sells all kinds of items related to soul masters and soul mentors.

Wang Dong said, "I'll take you to a treasure-viewing meeting today to broaden your horizons."

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion: "Treasure Appreciation Party? I heard that the treasure appreciation party held in Shrek City is not open to anyone."

Wang Dong introduced: "Yes, there are three main types of treasure appreciation events in Shrek City. The first type is held for the academy, and the academy will purchase the items. For example, there are various rare metals needed by the Soul Guidance Department, some teaching supplies for the Martial Soul Department, and things ordered by the academy, precious ingredients, and so on."

"The other two treasure-hunting events are for our students, and they have more good stuff. One is for the inner courtyard students, and they are all top-quality items, and extremely precious spirit bones appear every time. The remaining one is only for the core disciples of the outer courtyard, and it often has some elixirs, medicinal materials, customized spirit rings and the like."

"But, these three treasure-hunting events have nothing to do with us two Shrek freshmen, right? What do you mean?"

Huo Yuhao wanted to see what Wang Dong was planning.

"Are you underestimating my connections? I have been in Shrek for so many days since I reported in. I will not stay in the dormitory to practice all the time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Yuhao immediately understood that it was the butterfly effect caused by his late enrollment time.

“Don’t talk about laziness so proudly,” he complained.

"No one practices all the time. You have to combine work and rest." Wang Dong retorted and continued to explain.

"What a coincidence. When I was out for a walk to relax, I met the leader of the Tang Sect, Senior Sister Tang Ya. We hit it off right away. You should have heard of her, right? The Tang Sect, once the number one sect..."

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Have you joined the Tang Sect?"

Wang Dong nodded. "My family has some connection with the Tang Sect. Seeing that it has withered to this extent, I naturally cannot stand idly by. Besides, I am also very interested in the Tang Sect's hidden weapons."

“Alright.” Huo Yuhao curved his lips, “As long as you’re happy.”

Anyway, with Wang Dong's identity, joining the Tang Sect is just like the crown prince going on an incognito visit. Although he doesn't know his identity, it doesn't matter.

"Today there will be a treasure appreciation meeting for the core disciples of the outer courtyard. You may not know that one of the twin stars of the outer courtyard, Pili Beibei, is the eldest senior brother of our Tang Sect. With his VIP status, he can just take the two of us in, guaranteed."

Huo Yuhao: Actually, I know.

Wang Dong said nonchalantly: "Besides, even if Senior Brother can't do it, I'm still here, so you can rest assured..."

I understand. This is the confidence of the eldest lady of Haotian Sect.

If anyone dares to look down on us at that time, we can just reveal our identity and act like the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to continue saying something, an extremely surprised voice rang out.

"Yuhao! Why are you here?"

The person who came was Ma Xiaotao who had fled a few hours ago.

The moment they met, she rushed up to him in a rage.

Chapter 24: Generous and generous

"Hello, Sister Xiaotao!"

After introducing their identities to each of them, Huo Yuhao also roughly explained the reasons why he stayed here.

Ma Xiaotao smiled charmingly and waved her hand: "This is easy. I remember there is a treasure appreciation meeting for the core disciples of the outer courtyard today. I can take you in directly."

During the afternoon practice, she truly realized how comfortable it was to practice without being disturbed by the evil fire.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were filled with tears and she felt better than ever before.

Her martial soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix, inherited from her ancestor Ma Hongjun, and is also tainted with troublesome evil fire.

The Phoenix Evil Fire is also the fire of lust.

Ever since her martial soul awakened, she has been tortured by the evil fire and has been tortured to the point of collapse countless times during her training.

The ancestors could release the evil fire in their bodies by indulging in lust, but for Ma Xiaotao, she was too proud and arrogant to do such a thing.

As for other ways to deal with the evil fire, even Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek's Martial Spirit Department, was helpless.

For other soul masters, it is just ordinary meditation practice and daily battles, but for her it is something she desires but cannot obtain.

Normally, she always relied on Xu Sanshi, who possessed the Xuanming Turtle Shield, a dual-attribute martial spirit of water and earth, to temporarily delay her evil fire problem.

However, due to the difference in their soul power levels, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Now, with the help of Huo Yuhao, she has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Having endured all the hardships, she will not give up the hope he brought her.

As long as we have the ultimate ice, everything will be fine!

Although the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit would still continuously produce evil fire, as long as Huo Yuhao took action, she could indulge herself in practicing and fighting for a long period of time without being troubled by this.

Ma Xiaotao appeared here at this time and was just strolling around Shrek City, wanting to buy some cultivation resources to repay Huo Yuhao later.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I could meet the slightly troubled person directly.

Whether it is to bring them closer together or for the sake of their future happy life, helping out is naturally an obligation.

Given Ma Xiaotao's status and position, it would be easy for her to bring two people in.

Besides, the two people in front of her are both Shrek students. In her perception, they are both extremely talented. How could they be rejected?

The background of this Jubao Pavilion is Shrek Academy, and one of its first floors is specially opened to some students whose status and position are not high enough for the time being.

As long as the potential assessment is completed, Shrek students with outstanding talents can be given a break.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Xiaotao."

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Dong’s expression was a little unnatural, so he asked.

"Wang Dong, what's wrong, aren't you going?"

Wang Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Yuhao, follow Senior Sister in. I have already made an appointment with Senior Brother to meet here."

Just as Wang Dong said, the time she and Bei Bei agreed upon was approaching, which was why she brought Huo Yuhao here.

You can't just stand someone up after joining the Tang Sect.

Huo Yuhao also understood: "Well, I'll go first. Bye."

After saying that, he was dragged away by Ma Xiaotao, leaving Wang Dong alone with a twitching mouth.

Senior Sister Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao have a really good relationship.

……

As a legitimate inner court disciple who had been promoted from a core disciple of Shrek's outer court, Ma Xiaotao was obviously familiar with the procedures of participating in the treasure appreciation meeting.

Thanks to the deterrent power of the red-robed girl in the inner courtyard, she dismissed the welcoming girl and brought Huo Yuhao all the way to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion without any obstruction.

The second floor of the Jubao Pavilion is where today’s treasure appreciation party for the core disciples of the outer courtyard will be held.

Compared with the first floor, it is quieter and more elegant. It looks messy inside, but all the booths are placed in the most reasonable and eye-catching positions.

Each booth is covered with huge crystal glass, and different items are placed on the stands inside.

"What a pity, Yuhao, there is no treasure appreciation meeting for the inner courtyard disciples today, otherwise I would have taken you there to broaden your horizons."

Holding Huo Yuhao's hand, Ma Xiaotao's tone was slightly lost.

"However, for you, Yuhao, right now, perhaps the treasures at the level of the core disciples of the outer courtyard are the most suitable. If you have anything you like, just tell me and I will buy it directly."

Women will only affect your cultivation speed, but rich women will not.

Huo Yuhao naturally accepted Ma Xiaotao's kindness.

Having said that, can he still refuse hypocritically?

"Thank you, Sister Xiaotao. There is indeed an item I need in this treasure hunting event."

When he set foot into the treasure viewing party, Bingdi's reminder came to his mind.

"Yuhao, there's something good on the third stage on the left that might be suitable for you."

Tian Meng laughed: "I should say it is very suitable for you. It is whale glue that is more than ten thousand years old. The quality is quite good."

Following the instructions of the Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao took Ma Xiaotao to the third booth on the left side of the hall.

Placed on the platform is a black crystal, which is dull and has an uneven surface.

There is also a detailed introduction on the booth. Millennium whale jelly is a special substance produced in the brain of the soul beast whale. It has a very good nourishing effect on soul masters, strengthening the body and enhancing the endurance of muscles, bones and meridians.

……

As Huo Yuhao stopped, Ma Xiaotao looked at the whale glue with a slightly curious look, somewhat puzzled.

"Yuhao, are you interested in this piece of inferior whale glue? High-quality thousand-year-old whale glue is golden and transparent, just like golden crystal. A piece of real thousand-year-old whale glue like this is worth at least 50,000 gold soul coins."

"And this is only 6,000. I don't think it's worth it. Yuhao, don't think about saving money for me. I'm the top VIP of Jubao Pavilion. I can get a 40% discount on everything I buy in Jubao Pavilion."

After saying that, Ma Xiaotao took out a red VIP card with a gold pattern from the storage soul guide and showed it to him.

The card was made of red warm jade and had the three ancient characters "Jubao Pavilion" written on it. Apart from that, there were no other markings.

It was one of the investments Shrek made in Huo Gua after his talent was properly exposed in the original novel and he became a core disciple of the outer courtyard.

With this top-level VIP privilege, you are eligible to choose any item from the treasure hunting event to take away every year without paying any fees.

At the same time, there is a 40% discount when buying things in Jubao Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao also received the same level of treatment. It can only be said that she is worthy of being Shrek's direct descendant and Yan Shaozhe's disciple.

Huo Yuhao smiled and explained in a low voice: "Sister Xiaotao, this is not a thousand-year-old whale glue, but a ten-thousand-year-old one."

"Ten thousand years of whale glue!?"

Ma Xiaotao was extremely surprised.
