Consuming the Mystic Water Pill, Soul Power Upgrade...

"Elder Mu, the matter has been taken care of."

Mu En nodded slightly, and after a moment, he spoke: "Did you notice anything different about Huo Yuhao?"

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "The methods he used seem to belong to a certain sect, but I cannot discern exactly which one."

Upon hearing this, Mu En's gaze deepened. After a while, he shook his head: "That little fellow is indeed quite unique."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked: "Elder Mu, do you know something special about Huo Yuhao? Otherwise, why would you have asked me to look after him when he first enrolled, and now ask me to look after him again?"

Mu En heard this and smiled, shaking his head: "It was just a convenient favor."

Mu En smiled again: "I just feel that this kid and I have a certain affinity."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, but she did not say anything further.

Mu En stopped there, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter further, as it involved some little-known secrets.

Mu En continued: "That woman named Liu Erlong is quite interesting. If she comes by tomorrow, have her come see me."

Zhou Yi thought about it for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.

Following that, Zhou Yi left the area.

At this moment, Mu En closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Interesting, interesting."

Of course, it was unclear whether the "interesting" he referred to was Huo Yuhao or Liu Erlong.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Huo Yuhao had already brought Jiang Nannan, Liu Erlong, and the others back to Shrek City.

Although it was already late at night, in certain parts of Shrek City, nightlife was just beginning.

After all, these were energetic men and women, and with the enhancement of martial souls, they naturally engaged in various recreational activities at night.

Of course, Huo Yuhao had no interest in that kind of nightlife.

He led Jiang Nannan and the others directly into a shop that was about to close.

This was a shop that sold Soul Tools.

Huo Yuhao intended to buy one for each of them: Liu Erlong, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Wu, and Bai Feng.

In Huo Yuhao's view, a storage Soul Tool was an essential item for a soul master; at the very least, it was very convenient for storing belongings.

There were two main types of storage Soul Tools here.

One was the common bracelet style, with a grade roughly between second and third-level Soul Tools.

The other was the classic style, similar to the design of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges from ten thousand years ago, belonging to Tang San.

Of course, these were only imitations, and the craftsmanship was relatively crude, yet the price was surprisingly high, owing to the celebrity effect.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao naturally did not buy them.

Firstly, he felt it was off-putting.

Secondly, the storage space of these Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges was about the same as an ordinary second or third-level Soul Tool.

Following this, Huo Yuhao spent 70,000 Gold Soul Coins to buy eight second-level storage Soul Tools.

"The reason I bought two extra is to be prepared for any unforeseen needs."

Huo Yuhao would still need to summon more talent from the system in the future.

Buying them in advance was no harm.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao led the women toward the courtyard they had purchased.

Just like that, as time passed, an hour later, Huo Yuhao lay on his bed.

Since they had just arrived, there were not enough beds, only three in total.

Huo Yuhao slept in a room with Xiao Wu, while Jiang Nannan slept with her mother, and Liu Erlong slept in one by herself.

Everyone had things to do tomorrow.

Bai Feng would continue to purchase houses in the vicinity according to Huo Yuhao's request, preparing for the construction of Jia Nan Academy.

Liu Erlong would go to Shrek Academy to inquire about the qualifications and requirements for establishing an academy.

Additionally, if possible, Liu Erlong would also recruit students in the area according to Huo Yuhao's instructions.

As for Jiang Nannan, she chose to go to school as usual.

Of course, by the next evening, she would have to go buy more sanitary napkins.

On the way back, Jiang Nannan had already discussed it with Huo Yuhao; Huo Yuhao gave her another batch of sanitary napkins and agreed to let Tang Ya come over to help sell them as well.

Xiao Wu lay directly in Huo Yuhao's arms and smiled sweetly: "Hey, Yuhao, school starts tomorrow. Do we need to prepare anything?"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu kissed Huo Yuhao on the lips.

Being a rabbit, she was naturally quite impulsive in that regard.

Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Huo Yuhao naturally responded, then spoke up.

"There's nothing to prepare. I plan to talk to Teacher Zhou again tomorrow. I feel that just attending classes there step-by-step is a bit of a waste."

Huo Yuhao spoke, falling into a brief contemplation.

Huo Yuhao had two goals in joining Shrek Academy.

To recruit the talents identified by the system to join the Endless Fire Territory.

To absorb some teachers to join the Jia Nan Academy.

As for actually studying at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao really didn't want to.

He had better options.

Liu Erlong possessed much more comprehensive theoretical knowledge.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao's current soul power had already reached level 16, and he had to find a way to increase his soul power more quickly.

Furthermore, he needed to head to the Extreme North and the Ice Land ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked at the storage bracelet he was wearing.

This bracelet was naturally the former property of Xu Sanshi; it was a level 4 storage Soul Tool, and the space inside was as large as an entire courtyard.

Huo Yuhao knew that there was a high probability that there would be some Mystic Water Pills in here.

Regardless of anything else, he should prioritize raising his soul power first.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao began to rummage through it.

Before long, Huo Yuhao found those two Mystic Water Pills.

He gave one to Xiao Wu and had her cultivate in the room.

As for Huo Yuhao, he went to the courtyard to consume his.

Huo Yuhao knew that taking a Mystic Water Pill would produce a peculiar odor.

If he and Xiao Wu took the pills together, once those two smells combined, the stench would double, which would really be quite unpleasant.

Following that.

Huo Yuhao came to the middle of the courtyard and sat cross-legged, took out a Mystic Water Pill, examined it, and swallowed it directly.

As soon as the pill entered his throat, Huo Yuhao felt a warm force dissipate throughout his body, like a warm current enveloping him while taking a hot bath.

As this heat spread, his body began to tremble slightly.

A thin layer of sweat slowly emerged on the surface of his skin, carrying a faint, lingering odor.

The medicinal power of the Mystic Water Pill slowly traveled through his meridians, each pulse giving him a slightly numb, itchy, swollen, and sore sensation.

Huo Yuhao focused his mind, carefully guiding the medicinal power, and his soul power grew bit by bit.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also felt a bit surprised.

The smell emanating from his body wasn't as heavy as he had imagined.

The pain and numbness in his meridians were also within an acceptable range.

However, Huo Yuhao soon had a sudden realization.

It was because he had previously tempered his body with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

Although the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was a tier 2 pill in the Doupo Continent.

Compared to the pill system still in its developmental stages here in the Douluo Continent, it still held an absolute advantage.

What's more, the high concentration of spiritual energy here also exerted an absolute plane suppression.

Therefore, after Huo Yuhao's body had absorbed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, the Mystic Water Pill could at most slightly expand his meridians, cause him to sweat out some foul-smelling sweat, and increase his soul power by one level.

Not long after.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the stronger power within his body, and he didn't know what to say.

He simply realized that his expectations for the Mystic Water Pill had been a bit too high.

However, his soul power had now reached level 17, which was acceptable.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and walked toward the adjacent courtyard.

When he had wandered around here earlier, he had already noticed an abandoned kitchen.

In front of that kitchen, there was also a well.

Before long, Huo Yuhao had arrived at the next courtyard.

The moment he pushed open the mottled wooden door, steaming hot air carrying a faint fragrance rushed toward his face.

Huo Yuhao was instantly stunned...
