Chereads / Soul Land II: Transmigrated as Huo Yuhao, Apprenticed to Yao Chen / Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Really Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore!

Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Really Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore!

(Have you all watched the animated version of Peerless Tang Sect? What do you think?)

Playing with two sparkling and translucent soul bones, the brows of Yao Lao furrowed, clearly contemplating something.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao stood beside him, nervously watching Yao Lao's expression.

He didn't know if the energy aggregates within the soul beasts' bodies that Yao Lao mentioned were indeed soul bones. If not, he would have to put in more effort to find them.

After a moment, Yao Lao's brows finally relaxed, and a hint of a smile crept onto his lips as he glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him. "Kid, are you nervous?"

"How can I not be nervous, teacher? These two soul bones were not easy for me to extort from Ma Xiaotao. It would be a pity if they couldn't be used," Huo Yuhao said with a bitter face.

"The path of cultivation has its ups and downs. If you can only accept gains and not losses, your state of mind will inevitably suffer," Yao Lao said solemnly. "Only with a balanced mindset can you avoid falling into the wrong path."

Speaking of this, Yao Lao seemed to recall something, and his expression turned melancholic.

Huo Yuhao knew that Medicine Master was thinking about his former disciple, Han Feng.

Han Feng was an orphan saved by Medicine Master, nurtured under his care since childhood. However, as he grew older, his ambitious nature led him, influenced by the instigation of enemies, to choose to kill his foster father, Yao Lao, in order to obtain a cultivation technique.

"Oh, teacher, I know everything you said. But can these soul bones be used for alchemy? You're really driving me crazy!" Huo Yuhao deliberately acted like a spoiled child, grabbing Yao Lao's illusory arm and shaking it. Yao Lao was interrupted by Huo Yuhao's somewhat childish behavior, shaking his head helplessly and smiling.

"You little rascal, mischievous as ever. I don't need to lecture you on any profound truths. Alright, I'll tell you, these soul bones can indeed be used for alchemy, and their effects are even stronger than the magic nuclei in our world," Yao Lao explained.

"Soul bones are not only condensed from pure energy but also contain the existence of the laws of heaven and earth, which is why they can provide what we call soul skills for soul masters. Of course, it's too early to tell you all this now. You just need to know that the existence of the laws of heaven and earth has a good auxiliary effect on alchemy."

Huo Yuhao nodded, rubbing his hands excitedly. "So, teacher, can you refine the Primary Essence Pill now?"

"Yes, the main ingredients are already available, but some necessary auxiliary materials are still needed. I'm not very familiar with the herbs in your world, so I need to study them systematically. Tomorrow, go to the library of the academy and find a comprehensive book on herbs to consult," Medicine Master nodded.

"Okay, I'll go to the academy library to consult the classics tomorrow at noon," Huo Yuhao quickly agreed.

"But there's one more thing you need to do," Medicine Master raised the two soul bones in his hand. "This green soul bone of wood attribute can be used to refine the Primary Essence Pill, while this water attribute soul bone is prepared for refining the Blood Lotus Pill, which you will need after finding the True Flame."

"After taking the Blood Lotus Pill, a strange energy blood chain will form on the surface of the body, which can resist extremely hot temperatures. Only by relying on its effects can you have a chance to get close to the True Flame and find an opportunity to devour it."

"So?" Huo Yuhao's face stiffened as he asked.

"In addition to needing this water attribute soul bone to refine the Blood Lotus Pill, you also need Blood Lotus Essence and Ice Spirit Flame Grass. After consulting the classics tomorrow, if you can find these two herbs or substitutes with similar effects, you need to start preparing to buy them."

"However, the price of these two herbs... Well, I can only tell you, work hard, earn more money."

Huo Yuhao now felt like crying without tears. Initially, he just wanted to prepare some materials for studying alchemy and to cast a medicine cauldron, which led him to open this barbecue stall.

But after finally extorting money from Xu San Shi's hands, Yao Lao suddenly told him that he needed soul bones, a treasure in the soul master world, for alchemy, instantly plunging his assets back into negative numbers.

Carefully planning and seizing the opportunity to solve the soul bone problem by confronting Ma Xiaotao, he successfully resolved the issue.

But now, he told him that he didn't have enough money again and needed to work hard to earn money to buy medicinal materials.

While others who transmigrated to another world became kings, immortal emperors, or some other amazing identities, why did he, a top-notch assassin, have to work hard after transmigrating to another world?

No, he should go find a rich woman instead. He didn't want to work hard anymore.

Rich woman, hungry, food.

"Yuhao, don't worry. When you reach level twenty, I'll take you to the Extreme North Ice Field to obtain your second soul ring and second martial soul. As for the location of that strange fire you mentioned, I remember it clearly. When we get to the Extreme North Ice Field, I'll take you to find that so-called strange fire," Tianmeng, not wanting to be left out, cheered Huo Yuhao on in his spiritual sea.

The promising prospect of the evolution of the Burning Technique immediately dissipated some of Huo Yuhao's resentment as a miserable worker. Nodding gently, he asked Yao Lao, "Teacher, what else do I need to devour the strange fire? You might as well tell me directly, so I can start preparing now. After all, I'm already level eighteen, not far from becoming a Grand Soul Master."

"The Blood Lotus Pill is essential for you to approach the strange fire. Without its protection, you will turn into ashes in an instant," Yao Lao explained. "The second material is called Ice Spirit Cold Spring. If the Blood Lotus Pill protects your body's surface, then the Ice Spirit Cold Spring guards your insides. It prevents you from being burned into nothingness by the destructive temperature while refining the strange fire."

"Don't worry about this. If Yuhao can successfully obtain the second martial soul, there's no need for the so-called Ice Spirit Cold Spring. The strange fire won't harm any part of his body," Tianmeng Iceworm added.

"Well, since you're confident, I'll trust you for now," Yao Lao chuckled.

"The last material is called Nascent Soul. It can open a special small space within your body to store the strange fire. After all, with the nature of the strange fire burning heaven and earth, if you don't completely refine it, everything else, including your body, will be instantly incinerated, except for this empty space,"

"Nascent Soul?" Huo Yuhao chuckled bitterly. "I haven't even heard of it. Where can I find this so-called Nascent Soul?"

"You don't need to worry too much about Nascent Soul. Because when I was searching for the strange fire back then, I happened to have a little extra. So, the only thing you're currently lacking is money," Yao Lao said with a smile.

"Money... money!" Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he took out a red card from his storage soul tool.

This card belonged to the original owner of this storage soul tool ring, the one who gave him the Shrek Academy admission token, a powerful figure named Yuchuan who lived thousands of years ago.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the bank in Shrek City and see if this card can still be exchanged for soul coins!"
