Chapter 23

Bei Bei also looked at Huo Yuhao.

He was not as emotional as Tang Ya, but his gaze was very earnest.

"Junior apprentice brother, with your talent, Shrek Academy is indeed the most suitable place for you right now."

Bei Bei paused and continued, "Inherent martial souls are already rare, and furthermore yours is of the mental attribute. Once you enter Shrek, the academy will definitely value you."

Tang Ya nodded repeatedly beside them.

"That's right, that's right. You're only eleven years old now, and you're already at level twenty. Although your second soul ring is only a ten-year one..."

At this point, her expression froze.

Tang Ya suddenly felt that her own words were a bit piercing.

"Cough, anyway, your soul skill is so perverted that whether it's a ten-year one or not doesn't really matter."

Huo Yuhao watched the two of them putting on a double act, and in his heart he was not too surprised.

Going to Shrek was originally a part of Ju Zi's plan.

It was mainly because Shrek possessed a more complete soul master growth system; over ten thousand years of heritage was not a joke.

In other aspects, Ju Zi could guarantee that Huo Yuhao received the best cultivation, but solely in terms of soul master cultivation, neither she nor the Sun Moon Empire side could provide very good help.

Huo Yuhao smiled.

"Alright."

Tang Ya was stunned for a moment.

"You agreed so quickly?"

"What else?"

Huo Yuhao blinked, his tone very natural. "Senior Sister Xiao Ya said it makes a lot of sense just now. A genius like me really should go to the best academy."

Tang Ya: ...

Bei Bei: ...

These words sounded like there was nothing wrong with them.

Yet for some reason, they just made people want to hit someone.

Tang Ya reached out and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair, speaking with annoyed spirit, "Junior apprentice brother, can you be a bit more modest?"

Huo Yuhao thought about it seriously.

"Then I'll try my best next time."

Tang Ya's mouth twitched.

You're actually considering it?

Three days later.

Shrek City.

Looking from afar, a city so huge it was somewhat exaggerated appeared at the end of the road.

Tall city walls spanned across the plain, human traffic at the city gates was continuous, and coming and going caravans and soul masters hardly stopped.

This was not an empire's capital city.

Yet in terms of prosperity, it even surpassed the core cities of many nations.

Because Shrek Academy was here.

Currently the number one academy on the entire continent.

A place countless soul masters dreamed of.

Tang Ya walked in front, a trace of smugness in her tone. "How is it, junior apprentice brother, shocking?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"It really is big."

He did not deliberately act too surprised.

After all, Bright City over on the Sun Moon Empire side was no pushover either.

If one really compared city construction and soul guidance technology, Shrek City was actually a bit traditional.

However, for soul masters of the three Douluo empires, this place truly was already the center of the continent.

Bei Bei smiled and said, "It's still early, we can directly take you to register."

Tang Ya also grew excited.

"Right, Bei Bei and I will write you a recommendation letter. With your talent, passing the Freshman Assessment will definitely not be a problem."

Huo Yuhao instead shook his head.

"No rush."

Tang Ya asked in confusion, "No rush?"

Huo Yuhao retrieved a slip of paper from his bosom and glanced at the address on it.

Senior Sister Xiao Ya, Eldest Senior Brother, I'm not familiar with Shrek City. Could you take me to take a look at this place first?

Tang Ya leaned over and took a look.

The next second, her expression became somewhat peculiar.

"This place seems to be the Spirit Medicine Pavilion?"

Bei Bei also saw that address, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Junior apprentice brother, how do you know about this place?"

Huo Yuhao's face didn't flush and his heart didn't beat fast.

"Someone told me, saying there are medicines suitable for low-tier soul masters here, and I want to come over and take a look."

Tang Ya crossed her arms and stared at him suspiciously.

"Who told you?"

Huo Yuhao thought about it; Ju Zi often regarded herself as his fiancée, but he truly couldn't regard a child under fourteen years old as a fiancée, so he took a roundabout way.

"Someone who is very good at doing business."

There was nothing wrong with these words.

Ju Zi indeed was very good at doing business.

And not just ordinarily good.

Although Tang Ya still had some doubts, she did not continue to press.

Bei Bei then explained from the side, "The Spirit Medicine Pavilion is a force that has only emerged in Douluo Continent in the past two years, mainly selling all kinds of medicinal liquids, and also purchasing high-quality medicinal herbs and Soul Beast materials."

"Their clients are mostly soul masters below the third ring."

As soon as Tang Ya heard this, she instantly perked up.

"Right, right, right, I know the stuff from their house."

She raised three fingers, her tone noticeably much more excited.

"Azure Jade Elixir, Blue Jade Elixir, Red Jade Elixir, these are the three most famous types of medicinal liquids from their house."

"The Azure Jade Elixir can make the mind clearer, and is exceptionally useful when cultivating soul skills."

"The Blue Jade Elixir can restore soul power, and can also slightly raise cultivation speed."

"The Red Jade Elixir is even more formidable. Drinking a little after being injured, the recovery speed will become much faster, and it's also beneficial to one's physical body."

As she spoke, Tang Ya sighed again.

"It's just that the price is a bit expensive."

Bei Bei smiled.

"The effect is right there, being a bit more expensive is also normal."

After hearing this, the expression on Huo Yuhao's face turned somewhat subtle.

Azure Jade.

Blue Jade.

Red Jade.

These names really were given simply and crudely.

He could now basically be certain that this so-called Spirit Medicine Pavilion was the force Ju Zi secretly established.

As for those three elixirs, they were most likely just the diluted byproducts of the Azure Jade Pill, Blue Jade Pill, and Red Jade Pill.

Huo Yuhao silently sighed in his heart.

Ju Zi really was shrewd.

If pills like these were directly taken out to sell, their medicinal efficacy was too strong, making it very easy to attract the attention of various factions.

Especially the Azure Jade Pill and Red Jade Pill; the value of long-term use was too high, and once their complete effects were exposed, trouble definitely wouldn't be lacking.

Yet diluting them into medicinal liquids was different.

Medicinal efficacy was weakened, prices lowered, and the usage threshold also lowered.

For low-tier soul masters, they were still very practical good items.

For truly major factions, these resources temporarily still didn't reach the extent where they had to make a move to snatch them.

This was quite comfortable.

Moreover, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion purchasing medicinal herbs and Soul Beast materials externally could itself conversely replenish raw materials for pill refining.

Selling medicinal liquids to make money, collecting materials to refine pills, and then taking byproducts to continue selling.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that Ju Zi being able to sit in that position in her past life truly wasn't relying on luck.

She was only young right now.

That didn't mean her methods were small.

Not long after, the three of them arrived in front of a wide street.

Shops stood in rows on both sides of the street, among which a three-story small building was particularly conspicuous.

The decoration of the small building was not luxurious, but it was very clean, and a deep azure plaque hung at the entrance.

Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

There were quite a few soul masters entering and exiting outside the door, most of whom were not old in age.

Some carried weapons, while others still bore injuries on their bodies, obviously having just returned from the soul duel arena or Soul Beast zone.

Tang Ya looked at that plaque, her eyes brightening slightly.

"Junior apprentice brother, just say whatever you want to buy."

She patted her own chest, adopting a very bold and generous appearance.

"Senior sister is paying today."

Bei Bei gently coughed from the side.

Tang Ya immediately added, "Of course, your eldest senior brother is paying."

Bei Bei smiled helplessly, yet did not refute.

He reached out and patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, speaking warmly, "No need to be courteous, consider it our welcome gift to you."

Huo Yuhao just wanted to wave his hand.

If this money was truly let Tang Ya and Bei Bei pay, that scene would be somewhat strange to a certain degree.

After all, this place was with high probability his own family's business.

Coming to his own family's shop to buy things, yet having a senior sister and senior brother he had known for only a few days pay for it.

What kind of newfangled filial piety was this?

However, before he could even speak.

Several front-desk waitresses wearing uniform attire had already hurried up to greet them.

They first glanced at Huo Yuhao, and subsequently their expressions instantly turned respectful.

The next moment.

Several people bowed in salute simultaneously.

"Young Pavilion Master."
