20,000 Gold Coins, 200,000 Grilled Fish...

This medicinal pill is called the Hui Chun Pill, a first-grade pill from the Doupo Continent.

Of course, this pill has been modified; it restores soul power instead of battle qi.

Huo Yuhao then spoke up.

"Teacher Zhou, this is a pill I developed myself that can restore soul power. Please, take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi was extremely surprised and couldn't help but ask, "You know how to refine pills?"

One must know that only certain special sects or unique factions possess the means to refine pills.

Furthermore, these are all closely guarded secrets.

Therefore, medicinal pills are actually quite rare.

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, I know a little bit."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Yi took the pill and studied it carefully. She discovered that it contained a trace of soul power, and without further hesitation, she placed it in her mouth and swallowed it.

The pill melted upon contact, and a surge of soul power erupted within her body. Although the eruption was fierce, it was extremely gentle and did not damage her meridians or anything else.

At this moment, Zhou Yi's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she evaluated it: "The medicinal strength of this pill is enough to allow a one-ring soul master to instantly recover one-fifth of their soul power."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this; naturally, he had weakened the potency of this pill.

Zhou Yi then looked at Huo Yuhao with a burning gaze and asked, "So, what are you planning to do next?"

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and said, "I want to sell these pills to earn some money!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi hesitated slightly and asked, "Are you very short on money?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, I need to buy a storefront outside and do a few other things, so I am quite short on funds!"

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "You can continue to refine pills like this, right? So, the shop you're opening is for selling these pills?"

Huo Yuhao nodded again: "Yes, but I currently lack the startup capital, and I don't have a suitable shop space."

After thinking it over briefly, Zhou Yi said, "I'll take all of your pills."

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and immediately took out three more bottles, totaling over ten pills.

Zhou Yi did not hesitate much either; after a quick count of the quantity, she made a simple valuation of the pills and said:

"Yuhao, medicinal pills are very rare, but even so, your current pills have significant drawbacks."

"First, the soul power recovery is limited; it only has this effect on one-ring and two-ring soul masters. For three-ring soul masters, they would need to consume several at once to see any obvious effect."

"However, even so, the price of this pill is quite high, as medicinal pills are not something ordinary people can afford to buy."

"Moreover, for low-level soul masters, this pill is equivalent to having an extra life when their soul power is exhausted, so the price per pill will be around 2,000 gold coins. That is the market rate for pills."

Having said that, Zhou Yi took out a gold card and handed it to Huo Yuhao, saying.

"There are 50,000 gold coins in here; consider the extra as my sponsorship for you."

"Additionally, if you have any higher-grade pills, it is best to show them to me first to avoid making certain sects or families jealous, which could lead to threats or disadvantages for you."

"Also, although selling these kinds of pills now won't attract the attention of major factions, some smaller ones will definitely take notice."

"If you are going to trade in batches, this will be a considerable income, so if you run into any trouble outside, tell me immediately."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao with care in her eyes.

This was a form of care for a student, or perhaps an appreciation for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao felt quite touched upon hearing this.

To be honest, in the original story, Zhou Yi was already quite good to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and said:

"Teacher Zhou, I will remember your words. If one day I have the ability, I will also help Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Yi smiled upon hearing this, not taking it to heart.

Immediately after, Zhou Yi left the area and headed toward the teaching building.

Huo Yuhao did not linger either; he took Xiao Wu and left Shrek Academy.

Before long, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu had arrived outside Shrek Academy.

Waiting there, besides Jiang Nannan and her mother, was Tang Ya.

Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao and giggled, "Little brother Yuhao, school doesn't start until tomorrow, and since I'm bored, I heard you wanted to buy a shop, so let me accompany you to look around."

Huo Yuhao felt there was no issue with that and nodded in agreement.

However, Beibei was not by Tang Ya's side at this moment.

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Where is Beibei?"

Tang Ya replied with a grin, "Beibei went to school. I'm not sure what he went to do just now."

"Oh, right, Xu Sanshi came by here earlier, and Beibei left with him."

Hearing the name "Xu Sanshi," Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked at Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan spoke up directly at this moment: "He was stunned when he saw that my mother had recovered, but in the end, he left with Beibei."

Jiang Nannan spoke up to this point, then hesitated slightly before saying, "I feel like we might run into some trouble."

After Jiang Nannan finished speaking, Tang Ya patted her chest from the side to reassure her, "What kind of trouble could that be? Isn't it just Xu Sanshi pursuing you? If you don't agree, it just means you don't like him."

"Liking someone is a two-way street; it's all about mutual consent."

"Besides, isn't Beibei here? If he dares to come and cause trouble, I'll have Beibei beat him up."

Hearing this, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up slightly.

Is it really that simple?

In the original story, the reason Beibei helped Huo Yuhao was based on a prerequisite: that Huo Yuhao had joined the Tang Sect.

But now, whether Beibei would help or not remained an unknown variable.

And as for that Xu Sanshi, he was also a hot-tempered...

However, Huo Yuhao quickly adjusted his thoughts and said, "Let's go. It's noon now; let's head into Shrek City to look around and grab a bite to eat."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he led them directly toward Shrek City.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao arrived at a bustling street in Shrek City.

The area was extremely lively, filled with a dazzling array of goods and surrounded by various shops.

Of course, there were also some businesses that weren't doing well, with signs posted for shop rentals and the like.

After all, no matter where you go, there are always those who struggle to manage their businesses; it was just the norm.

In the end, as evening approached, after some scouting, Huo Yuhao spent 20,000 Gold Soul Coins to purchase two storefronts and a small courtyard.

For an ordinary person, 20,000 Gold Soul Coins was a massive fortune.

But these properties were bought outright, with full ownership belonging to Huo Yuhao.

Of course, even so, it still made Jiang Nannan's heart ache.

There was no helping it; Jiang Nannan had a bit of a miserly streak.

The exchange rate for Copper Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Gold Soul Coins was 100:10:1.

Tang Ya was even more shocked; the Tang Sect had fallen into decline and was equally strapped for cash.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and said in surprise, "Hey, Yuhao, I didn't expect you to be so rich."

"Do you realize how much 20,000 Gold Soul Coins is? That's equal to 2,000,000 Copper Soul Coins."

"If you were to sell grilled fish, even at 10 Copper Soul Coins a piece, you'd have to grill 200,000 of them."

Hearing Tang Ya say this, Huo Yuhao smiled, "Who said I was going to sell grilled fish to make money?"
