Selling Grilled Fish

The three of them soon arrived at the spot where they would set up their stall. It was bustling with people coming and going.

Tang Ya pointed at an empty patch of ground. "We're here. This spot gets the most foot traffic. Little Yu Hao, you can grill fish here."

Tang Ya patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and reminded him, "Remember to save two well-grilled fish for me. I'm heading out for a bit first."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoya. I won't forget."

Before long, Huo Yuhao had set up the rack and begun grilling fish.

The Golden Dragon King's dragon scale Yu Chen had given him back then had long since subtly purified his Spirit Eyes. His eyes now carried an additional layer of fierce, powerful dragon aura, and even his physical foundation had strengthened considerably.

After all, it was a scale from the God King, the Golden Dragon King. Such changes were perfectly normal.

Not only had his body become stronger, but the range of his spiritual perception had also expanded greatly. Every tiny movement from the passersby around him registered clearly within his senses.

With his enhanced spiritual perception, Huo Yuhao's control over the heat, flipping, and seasoning had all become incomparably precise. His fish-grilling skills immediately rose to another level.

After all, grilling fish was all about the smallest details. There was no room for carelessness whatsoever.

The first fish was soon cooked through, and Huo Yuhao immediately handed it to Yu Chen.

Yu Chen picked up the grilled fish and took a huge bite. The skin was grilled crisp to a crackle, while the golden, glistening oil melted in his mouth at once, its rich fragrance bursting across his taste buds.

Yu Chen's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. "Not bad, not bad. The flavor is incredible."

The aroma spread in all directions, quickly drawing a large group of students around the stall.

Someone stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, how much is one grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao replied with a smile, "Five Copper Soul Coins each."

He quietly calculated it to himself. Each fish only cost him two Copper Soul Coins to buy, so he earned a net profit of three from every sale. It was guaranteed profit with no loss.

Before long, a long queue formed before the stall, filled with students who had come over after catching the scent.

A figure hurried over through the crowd. It was Wang Dong. She put her hands on her hips, glared at the two of them, and said angrily, "You two are unbelievable! You secretly came out to set up a stall without even inviting me!"

Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly. "You were cultivating until so late. How could we wait for you?"

Wang Dong moved up to the stall, staring at the sizzling, oil-dripping fish as she swallowed. "It's just grilled fish, but it smells way too good."

A moment later, Huo Yuhao handed her a grilled fish directly.

Wang Dong took her first bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Delicious!"

As Wang Dong chewed the fish, she asked, "Your grilling skills are amazing. Who taught you?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and smiled. "I figured it out myself. My Martial Soul is my eyes, so I can catch subtle changes in the heat that other people wouldn't notice."

Wang Dong nodded in sudden understanding. "So that's how it is."

Yu Chen turned his head and asked curiously, "What level is your Soul Power now?"

Huo Yuhao answered, "Nineteen."

Yu Chen nodded. "Level nineteen, huh? Then you need to work hard and cultivate diligently. Once you reach level twenty, I'll take you to hunt a Soul Ring."

Huo Yuhao asked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his heart, Brother Sky Dream, should I agree?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wriggled his fat grub-like body as if he had just woken up. "You should agree. At your cultivation speed, once you reach level thirty, I'll take you to obtain a major resource."

"Alright, Brother Sky Dream."

After finishing his conversation with Tian Meng,

Huo Yuhao smiled and agreed. "Alright, thank you for your concern, Brother Chen."

Yu Chen said to the two of them, "You two keep selling grilled fish here. I'm heading out for a bit and will be back soon."

Yu Chen planned to go out and buy some medicinal ingredients for body refinement. Although the Golden Dragon bloodline came with an extraordinarily powerful physique and an inherently terrifying foundation, relying solely on natural talent would not do. Depending on one's bloodline alone was simply laziness.

He soon arrived before an apothecary. A signboard hung above its entrance, bearing the words Treasure Spirit Apothecary.

Yu Chen stepped inside. The shop's decor was ancient and worn, steeped in the weight of time.

"Boss, do you have any medicinal ingredients for body refinement?"

The old man behind the counter looked up and answered with a smile, "Of course, little brother. What kind are you looking for? We have all kinds of body-refining and bone-tempering medicinal ingredients."

The owner immediately beckoned enthusiastically and led Yu Chen to a wooden cabinet of medicinal ingredients nearby, then pulled open its doors.

Inside lay several thick, brownish roots. Their patterns were dense and solid, and a faint earthy-yellow glow of Soul Power flowed over them.

"Take a look at this, little brother. This is a rare item our shop just acquired—the Millennium Saint Ox Stem."

The owner pointed at the root and explained in detail, "It comes from the core root of a Saint Ox that lived for a thousand years. Its effects in tempering the tendons, forging the bones, and nourishing the body are exceptional. It couldn't be more suitable for body refinement."

"Then give me one. How much?"

The owner rubbed his hands and chuckled. "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for one."

"Deal."

After paying the Gold Soul Coins, Yu Chen turned and left the apothecary. A faint glimmer flashed from the storage ring on his wrist as the Millennium Saint Ox Stem he had just purchased was stored away in his storage Soul Tool.

As he walked, Yu Chen silently considered his future path. On the continent of Peerless Tang Clan, Soul Tools were the trend of the future. Later on, supreme creations such as mecha and Battle Armor would emerge, and they would be immensely useful.

A thought suddenly sprang into Yu Chen's mind. How terrifying would it be if he could personally forge four-word Battle Armor, or even strive for five-word and six-word Battle Armor?

In Legend of the Dragon King, possessing four-word Battle Armor already made one among the continent's strongest experts, such as Yun Ming...

Yu Chen made up his mind. Sooner or later, he would build a force of his own.

A single person could not support a grand ambition. With a complete force under his command, whether he was researching Soul Tools, forging Battle Armor, or gathering capable people, everything would become far more convenient.
