I've Come Seeking a Doctor

"It's just that this cultivation consumes Soul Bones."

Looking at the Soul Bone in his hand, which had gone from dazzlingly radiant at the start to emitting only a faint, misty glow now, Tang Hao's heart ached.

A Soul Bone.

Even one that had only just passed the thousand-year mark would cost over two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins at auction.

Sometimes, when few Soul Bones were up for auction, prices rising to five hundred thousand was not impossible.

That was because ordinary Soul Master families truly were unwilling to put their Soul Bones up for auction.

The Soul Bones available for auction on the market were basically ones that Soul Hunting Groups had luckily obtained and then brought to auction houses.

This kept the price of Soul Bones extremely high at auctions.

If he wanted to absorb more Soul Bones in the future to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, it would be difficult as well.

"But fortunately, there are still many soul beasts in this world. As long as they don't go extinct, there will always be Soul Bones."

Soul Bones were precious, so using them to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Secret Method would be difficult for him.

But it was not completely impossible.

After all, there were so many soul beasts on this continent that, before they went extinct, there should be enough for him to cultivate to the level of Dragon Transformation.

What he needed to worry about was merely whether he could live until then.

After all, cultivating the Dragon Transformation Secret Method truly was Water Grinding Kung Fu.

He had just absorbed the spirituality from less than half a Soul Bone, yet it had only made his body feel somewhat stronger and eased his injuries slightly.

He estimated that if he wanted his body to become strong enough to completely disregard the injuries within him and recover through its natural metabolism—

He would need at least one hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

And the time it took for him to completely absorb a Thousand Year Soul Bone was ten days!

That meant three years!

"The time is too long. Is this what a Cultivation Technique is like?"

Tang Hao was helpless. The pace of cultivation in a cultivation world was simply incomparable to the pace of cultivation on Douluo Continent.

Still, three years to fully recover from his bodily injuries was already powerful enough.

After all, he had originally spent twelve years without managing to heal his injuries.

Not to mention that after absorbing one hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, his enhanced physical constitution and Martial Soul strength would at least rival that of a level ninety-seven Super Douluo.

And besides...

It was not as though the Dragon Transformation Secret Method was his only way to treat his internal injuries.

Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

With a flip of his hand, Tang Hao took out the Jade Box and looked at the delicate, lush Immortal Herb inside.

His throat stirred restlessly, and he had the urge to eat it on the spot.

With an Immortal Herb's powerful effects, perhaps consuming it would completely heal the injuries within his body.

However, "You can't take medicine carelessly. You have to follow the doctor's orders."

Remembering how he had often ended up in the hospital from taking medicine recklessly in the past, Tang Hao helplessly put the Immortal Herb away again.

Before an Immortal Herb, even his Titled Douluo body was probably no different from that of an ordinary person.

Besides, he was rather greedy.

He did not want all of this Immortal Herb's medicinal effects to be wasted on healing injuries. After all, this was the only one he had.

It might also be the only one he would ever be able to consume.

After putting everything away, Tang Hao looked toward the center of Begonia City.

That was where the strongest doctor on Douluo Continent, the one he wanted to find, lived.

With the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in hand, their healing ability was unmatched in the world.

They should be able to help him handle this Immortal Herb and allow its medicinal effects to work more thoroughly on him.

Tap!

Tap!

Walking down the stairs, Tang Hao, dressed in a gray robe, settled his bill with the tavern keeper and ordered the latest Heaven Dou Report as well.

This newspaper was updated roughly once every seven days. He did not know how they managed that in this era of Douluo Continent.

After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was enormous—so enormous that even a Titled Douluo would need around half a month to cross it.

He casually browsed the newspaper and found that there was nothing major in it.

It was basically just ordinary daily news like [Treasures of the Sea] [The Third Voyage of the Age of Great Navigation] [Kingdom Rebellion Suppression] [New Treatment for Impotence] [Skywater Academy Admits a Male Student]...

But, "Spirit Hall Wanted Notice?"

Tang Hao flipped to the wanted notices in the Heaven Dou Report and found an additional notice from Spirit Hall.

It stated that Spirit Hall was announcing to the entire continent that they were searching for someone named "Tang Hao."

His physical traits were listed as a fondness for gray robes, bronze-colored skin, a height of eight chi, and a masculine appearance.

They had even thoughtfully included a very clear portrait.

Tang Hao looked at it. The person in the portrait was him, almost exactly identical.

And—

"Provide a valuable lead and receive a reward of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"Tsk, they really are loaded."

"But isn't this way too fast?" Tang Hao found it strange.

He was not surprised that Spirit Hall had learned of his appearance so quickly.

After all, Spirit Hall was the Continent's Number One Soul Master Power and possessed the greatest number of Soul Masters.

With such a vast population—

It was entirely possible that someone had awakened a martial soul capable of transmitting information regardless of spatial distance.

The same went for Soul Skills.

What puzzled him was how Spirit Hall had managed to print notices searching for him in every newspaper in such a short time.

After all, he was currently in Begonia City, a place far from both Heaven Dou City and Spirit Hall.

For Spirit Hall to distribute the wanted notices all the way here meant that other cities must have received the same notices as well.

Such an ability to distribute information on a massive scale and spread it so quickly could no longer be explained merely by someone awakening a martial soul ability.

"A Transmigrator?"

Tang Hao felt envious. This kind of information distribution ability that transcended an era could surely only be achieved by a Transmigrator.

And being able to accomplish this meant the other party's Golden Finger was extremely powerful.

A Golden Finger capable of pushing an era forward had to be powerful.

Otherwise, it would be crushed to death by the immense resistance of the times.

"I'm so jealous. Incredibly jealous."

Tang Hao put away the newspaper, hoping that one day this Transmigrator would accomplish even more.

Perhaps they could even create something like the internet, a product capable of distributing information on a massive scale.

Then, his life would not be much different from his life in his original world.

And he could enjoy himself to the fullest with the formidable strength of a Titled Douluo.

As for Spirit Hall's threat...

He simply had to avoid staying in one place for too long.

Douluo Continent was not so small that a Titled Douluo could teleport across it at will.

With a smile, the dock at the central lake of Begonia City appeared before him.

Begonia City had been built around a vast lake.

And the strongest healing-type Soul Master he sought lived on Lake Heart Island in Begonia Lake.

There were almost no people at the dock. Only an exquisite pavilion stood there, along with a small boat extending from beneath it.

Begonia Pavilion.

It was also the gateway to meeting that strongest healing-type Soul Master.

By passing Begonia Pavilion's trial, one would earn the qualification to obtain a ticket to meet that strongest healing-type Soul Master.

Of course, Tang Hao had no intention of taking any trial.

It would be a waste of time.

So, Tang Hao approached a plump, shopkeeper-like man inside the exquisite pavilion, took out his Purple Gold Card, and placed it on the table before the Fat Shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to seek treatment."
