"... Yuhao, are you sure on getting those items?" Wang Dong'er asked, looking at the booths being covered and be taken away for transport: They were the items that she and Yuhao had bought, and would be sent off to their dormitory by tomorrow morning. "I can get the 6,900 year old Sun Gem and the Mystical Wind Ore, but that crummy old thousand year Whale Rubber? Are you really sure its ten thousand years old?"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her skepticism. "Wang Dong, trust me. Am I the type of person who would waste his time on some rubbish? Just wait until we receive the items tomorrow, and I melt off the outer layer of it so I can tell you how right I am."
"Whatever, as long as you keep that crap away from me. I'm not going to eat such a sticky thing. I have eaten a lot of this when I was younger because I was forced to do so by my family. After I fused with a thousand year soul ring, I swore that I would never eat this sticky thing for the rest of my life." Her body trembled, recalling a dark history.
Huo Yuhao shrugged. "Alright, fine. But don't come begging for it later on."
"Shut it."
"So, looks like your purchases went well." Ning Tian said as they all gathered together; she, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao and Wu Feng. Bei Bei and the older friends was still window shopping however.
"Yuhao, what'd you get?" Xiao Xiao asked, looking curiously at him.
Huo Yuhao lightly smiled. "Oh, nothing much. I just got a couple of materials for a new project that I'm working on now; a 6,900 year Sun Gem and a Mystical Wind Ore. Lastly, one body strengthening resource."
Ning Tian raised her eyebrows in surprise. "A Sun Gem and a Mystical Wind Ore?" She was the only one among them that recognized the value of these materials.
The Sun Gem is a rare fire-type gem that is found in deep underground caverns and volcanoes, imbued with the essence of ancient magma flames. The heat it generates, which is as hot as the surface of the sun, which is how it earned its name, makes it impossible to be used on rank 6 and below soul tools.
Moreover, they can only be formed after a thousand years, and every thousand years makes it more stronger. It can even increase a fire-type soul master's cultivation speed by a few folds(considering if the age of the gem and the cultivation of the soul master isn't too wide; an example is if a Titled Douluo were to use this Sun Gem, it would have no effect) and it could even enhance fire-type soul skills as well.
It costed them(Wang Dong'er) 40,000 soul gold coins, it should've costed them a 100,000 but it was only thanks to the 40% discount of Huo Yuhao's card, which shouldn't have normally worked since they were Wang Dong'er's card but... "special treatment".
The Mystical Wind Ore, on the other hand, is a prized material often mined from remote mountain ranges. It's highly sought after for its unique composition, which allows it to absorb physical attacks or kinetic energy and then convert it into a powerful gale of wind force. This makes it invaluable for crafting wind-attribute soul tools and enhancing wind-based soul skills. Its rarity and versatility make it a coveted asset among soul masters specializing in wind elemental abilities. It costed at a surprisingly cheap price, including discount, 24,000 soul gold coins per 10kg.
All in all, plus 6k from the Whale Rubber, is 70,000 soul gold coins. Wang Dong'er still has enough to buy one more item at least.
Ning Tian nodded appreciatively. "Impressive choices, Yuhao."
Xiao Xiao's eyes shone, she tucked on his sleeves and asked. "Yuhao, is there another Mystical Wind Ore? How much is it?"
While he was out training for several months and left behind a shadow clone to help out both Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, he helped train them in the arts of being a Shinobi. And through some trial and error, he found out what their elemental affinities was. Wang Dong'er was surprisingly Water and Earth, while Xiao Xiao was Wind.
So it wasn't a surprise that she also wanted one.
Huo Yuhao anticipated this and said. "Don't worry, I asked the staff to reserve 10kg of Mystical Wind Ore for you."
Xiao Xiao's eyes shone and without any hesitation, out of sheer excitement, she curled her feet and placed a chaste kiss on his left cheek.
"What-!"
Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian and Wu Feng looked at her with wide eyes, startled by Xiao Xiao's sudden action.
Huo Yuhao's cheeks flushed slightly in surprise, but he chuckled softly. "Xiao Xiao, what was that for?"
Xiao Xiao blushed furiously but maintained her enthusiasm. "Thank you so much, Yuhao! This means a lot to me."
"Xiao Xiao, you-" Wang Dong'er's face twitched, her eyes lifeless and a dark
Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down her spine, cold sweat on her forehead. Without even looking at Wang Dong'er, she quickly ran away.
"Ah, I better go before someone else gets a hold of it first. See you guys later!"
She ran off like the wind, leaving behind dust.
Wang Dong'er clicked her teeth and grumbled, "Just you wait. In our next spar, I won't hold back."
"By the way, what is this body strengthening resource you bought?" Wu Feng asked, as a pure attack-type soul master she was curious about such items.
Wang Dong'er was the one to answer her. "A thousand year old Whale Rubber."
Ning Tian tilted her head, rubbing her chin in thought. "A Whale Rubber? I didn't know there was one here, well, except for that strange black colored one. I felt that it could be valuable... but since it was appraised by the pavilion's appraisers to be flawed, and considering how professional they are, I didn't buy it."
Huo Yuhao smirked. "Well you should've followed your gut, because that was a ten thousand year old Whale Rubber."
"What?!" Ning Tian exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, but she immediately realized that people was looking at her and quickly composed herself with reddened cheeks. She came closer to him and whisperingly said, "What?!"
Huo Yuhao's lips widened. "Ten thousand year old Whale Rubber, and probably the highest quality as well."
"No."
"Yes."
"That's incredibly rare!" Ning Tian's jaw dropped.
"I know." Huo Yuhao almost burst out laughing.
For all the time that he knew her, he never saw her lose her composure like this. It was unsurprising, considering she was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's young lady, who was groomed to be their clan's next leader.
Ning Tian regained her composure, straightening up and clearing her throat. "Well, that's quite the remarkable acquisition, Yuhao. I must say, you have a keen eye for valuable resources."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Thank you, Ning Tian. It's all about knowing what to look for and having a bit of luck on your side."
Wu Feng rolled her eyes and nudged her best friend's side, harshly. Ning Tian glared at her, but she ignored it and said. "Yuhao, what sister Tian here wants to say here is that: She wants to see the ten thousand year old Whale Rubber and see its special characteristics so that when she encounters one, or one of the clan members does, they'll know how to spot it one day. Please, she hasn't seen one before."
"Really? Eh, sure. I don't mind." Huo Yuhao shrugged, agreeing. It wasn't a big deal, besides, it is a pretty rare material after all. Although humans have reached deep depths in the sea thanks to advanced soul tool technology, they are still unable to fight back against thousand year sea-type soul beasts underwater, much less reach the depths of where ten thousand year soul beasts live.
Even if Ning Tian knows, it would still be hard for them find much ten thousand year Whale Rubber.
Just as they were chatting, their attention was soon diverted to a gathering crowd around the golden stairs.
"No way, she's here?!"
"Oh Sea God, she's so gorgeous!"
"Damn, I want her to step on me..."
The people who was near the person who said that, took a few steps away.
"Who are they getting excited for?" Wang Dong'er raised an eyebrow, tilting her head to get a better view.
"It's probably a senior student from the inner courtyard, or a young teacher I guess." Wu Feng commented.
Ning Tian turned towards Huo Yuhao, who looked particularly restless. "Well, judging by the look on your face, you know who our mysterious star of the night?"
Huo Yuhao wryly smiled. "We all know her."
"Yuhao~"
Before they could even question him, a sweet and alluring voice interrupted their conversation, causing everyone to turn their attention towards the source of the voice.
Standing at the top of the golden stairs was a stunningly beautiful woman, her long crimson hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall of silk. The red cocktail dress she wore, which revealed a considerable amount of her huge cleavage and her long white legs by the slits from her upper thighs. She wore a captivating smile, her ruby eyes sparkling with mischief as she looked straight at him with complete focus, ignoring everyone else around her.
As she walked towards him, everyone's eyes was on her. They were entirely captivated by her natural charm, aura and seductive figure. They gulped, feeling something rising within them.
She licked her plump red lips. Her eyes glowing with an intense pink color, seemingly as if flames appeared in her eyes that took on a heart shape. Only the most perceptive person would notice it however.
'Ah, shit!'
Huo Yuhao shivered, he recognized that look.
Out of nowhere, the Ice Empress chimed in, having noticed a familiar aura nearby.
"Oh? I wondered who it was, but it was just the little Phoenix. Hm. Judging by the look on her face... she's horny again."
