Chapter 16 Nine Treasures Pavilion
"Yuhao, are you sure nothing bad will happen?"
Tianmeng's voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, carrying a hint of barely concealed nervousness.
Nearly half a month has passed since they returned from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao found a secluded place to stay in Shrek City and settled down temporarily.
However, a thorny problem has arisen – a lack of funds. The remaining gold soul coins are hardly enough to purchase the precious medicinal herbs that can enhance cultivation.
According to Huo Yuhao's plan, he intended to raise his soul power to level 20 before officially enrolling in Shrek Academy. This would allow him to travel to the far north and reunite with his companions.
Pills like the Profound Water Pill or the Soul Ascension Pill that he had taken in his previous life were all extremely precious and hard to come by.
Even when trading on the black market, it's easy to sell for tens of thousands of gold soul coins, and often there's no market for it, with supply falling short of demand.
In this way, simply selling ordinary soul tools is clearly far from enough to meet Huo Yuhao's needs.
Tianmeng's concerns were not unfounded, and Huo Yuhao was naturally aware of what she was worried about.
After all, the soul tool he was going to sell, and the enormous profits it represented, would probably tempt even a titled Douluo-level expert.
Before Huo Yuhao reunited with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he naturally wouldn't sell those soul tools that were far beyond this era. At that time, his strength was limited; at most, he could only barely deal with soul masters at the Soul King level.
But now the situation is completely different. Tianmeng has been sublimated into divine consciousness. Although limited by various conditions, he can only unleash a mental shock close to the limit of Douluo.
However, with the simulated soul skill in the first soul ring brought by Tianmeng, as long as they don't actually encounter a Limit Douluo, scaring a few ordinary Super Douluos is a simple matter.
Since Huo Yuhao handled everything when the soul contract was signed, the soul skill brought by the first soul ring was naturally chosen by him personally.
The soul impact and mental interference attached to his first soul ring in his previous life were abilities he could unleash even without a soul ring, which Huo Yuhao then combined into a soul skill. He then incorporated the simulation abilities unique to the Ice Silkworm clan.
It can be said that the simulation effect produced by Tianmeng is a significant improvement over the thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm of the previous life. Unless the opponent's spiritual power reaches the realm of tangible yet intangible, it is simply impossible to see the flaw.
"Don't worry, Sister Tianmeng. I wouldn't joke around with our lives."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but speak out, trying to comfort the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual space.
"But Yuhao, you saw it last time too. That guy in charge of reception had such greedy eyes, it was like he wanted to devour you alive."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised to hear this. In his previous life, when he only had level 20 soul power, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dared to directly trick him into going to the far north to negotiate with the Ice Emperor.
Although after that incident, Tianmeng Bingcan told her that she had the ability to safely teleport her hundreds of miles away.
The problem is, how much difference can a distance of several hundred miles make to those terrifyingly powerful beasts?
Moreover, if the Ice Emperor had gone to find the Snow Emperor at that time, given the Snow Emperor's control over the far north, it would have been extremely difficult for the two of them to escape.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head. Tianmeng's mind was indeed becoming more and more unpredictable. He could only patiently continue to analyze the pros and cons with Tianmeng.
Of course, he had no idea that Tianmeng was preoccupied with her "one husband, one wife" plan and was naturally unwilling to let Huo Yuhao take too much risk.
If she had a choice, she would even prefer that Huo Yuhao become a Title Douluo before going to the far north to obtain his second martial soul, as that would be safer. After all, that second martial soul wouldn't expire.
……
As Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng continued their conversation, they arrived at a magnificent building with nine stories and a height of nearly sixty meters.
Shrek City enjoys a superior geographical location. It is not only the location of Shrek Academy, but also the most important commercial city at the junction of the three major empires of Douluo Continent.
Thanks to Shrek Academy, Shrek City enjoys excellent public security. Therefore, merchants from the three great empires often choose to conduct their international trade in Shrek City.
The Nine Treasures Pavilion before us is the Shrek City headquarters of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, which has a history of ten thousand years. It is also the place where the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School sells items related to Soul Masters and Soul Instructors.
Four young girls stood on each side of the entrance to the Nine Treasures Pavilion. They were all beautiful, with graceful figures, and dressed in matching long dresses, clearly having been carefully selected.
This pomp and circumstance is exactly the same as Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion. It seems that the methods of these large chambers of commerce are indeed very similar.
As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped into the Nine Treasures Pavilion, a maidservant immediately greeted him, clearly having been notified beforehand. Smiling, she said to Huo Yuhao, "Mr. Huo, please follow me."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and followed the maid without any hindrance to the door of a room on the seventh floor.
The maid knocked gently on the door, and a deep, calm voice came from inside the room:
"Please come in."
The maid then opened the door and gestured for the door to open.
Huo Yuhao entered the room and saw an elderly man with gray hair and dressed in white sitting at a desk processing documents.
Two women were sitting on a sofa on one side of the room. One of them looked to be nearly fifty years old and had a shrewd look in her eyes.
Sitting next to her was a blonde girl with short, neat blonde hair. She had large, light blue eyes with long eyelashes, and a few cute freckles on her cheeks, adding a touch of playfulness.
As for the steward who received Huo Yuhao last time, he was nowhere to be seen now, presumably because he was not qualified to participate in such an important discussion.
However, Huo Yuhao did not expect to meet Ning Tian, who had confessed to him at the matchmaking event in his previous life, here.
To be honest, if I were in that situation again now, I probably wouldn't refuse her.
It wasn't because he had any special feelings for Ning Tian, but simply because of Ning Tian's status as the only daughter of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader and the significance behind it.
Huo Yuhao has decided to kill Tang San after ascending to the God Realm. Therefore, he naturally cannot simply ascend to the God Realm without considering anything else, as he did in his previous life. To achieve his goal, he will inevitably need a large amount of money and manpower.
