Potions Compendium: Xiao Yan Wants to Swap Dorms with Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao plopped down on Lan Sheng, whose body was still warm, with a thick book in his hands.

The book was a complete guide to Potions and Alchemy from the world of Harry Potter.

Many of the ingredients it listed had even been replaced with herbs and minerals found on the Douluo Continent.

Wu Shi's system was surprisingly considerate.

Too bad the book belonged to Huo Yuhao now.

In terms of raw combat power, the world of Harry Potter admittedly ranked low among the cheats available to transmigrators.

The only thing that had caught Huo Yuhao's interest was the Killing Curse.

But he didn't have a Wand martial soul, so he had no way to learn it.

The products of Potions and Alchemy, though? Each was more extraordinary than the last!

There was Polyjuice Potion, which could change a person's appearance, and Love Potion, which could make someone hopelessly devoted to a particular person or object.

Yet of all the potions and alchemical creations, two interested Huo Yuhao most.

Felix Felicis and the Philosopher's Stone!

What made Felix Felicis so incredible was that it could actually improve a person's luck!

Luck was supposed to be intangible and mysterious, something no one could see or touch.

Yet in the world of Harry Potter, a potion existed that could genuinely bring someone good fortune!

And paired with Huo Yuhao's status as a Child of the Plane...

With both advantages stacked together, wouldn't he be able to get almost anything he wished for?

The Philosopher's Stone could turn stone into gold, granting its holder endless wealth.

More importantly, it could grant immortality and restore a person's body to its prime!

Potions and Alchemy went hand in hand, and the book covered both in considerable detail.

With this Potions book in hand, Huo Yuhao's cheat had received a massive upgrade!

Apart from the book, though, there was nothing useful in Wu Shi's storage bracelet.

Next, Huo Yuhao searched Lan Sheng's belongings.

To his disappointment, Lan Sheng was flat broke.

After searching him from head to toe, Huo Yuhao found only an ordinary yellow stored-value card.

He didn't even have a storage Soul Tool.

Poor!

Utterly poor!

On second thought, it made sense.

Fanfiction loved to hype up how invincible Blue Silver Grass could become by pursuing the path of ultimate life.

In reality, awakening a Blue Silver Grass martial soul meant your prospects were all but finished.

Without some heaven-defying opportunity, even a lifetime of hard training would only make its wielder an ordinary soul master.

Lan Sheng had probably poured everything he owned into cultivation resources just to scrape his way to Soul Grandmaster.

Once he had finished searching Lan Sheng, Huo Yuhao stood and swept his gaze around the room.

After removing every trace that connected him to the place, he set the entire room on fire.

Then Huo Yuhao pushed open the window, leaped out, and vanished silently into the shadows of the back alley.

Back at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao went to the academic affairs office to complete his enrollment.

An elderly teacher with graying hair sat inside. He took Huo Yuhao's documents, looked him up and down, then nodded.

"Tuition is ten Gold Soul Coins."

After collecting the money, the teacher took out two sets of uniforms, a white freshman badge, and a dormitory key.

"Two uniforms and one freshman badge. You'll have to pay for replacements if you lose them."

"Here's your key. Boys' dormitory, first floor, Room 108."

Huo Yuhao took the key, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Even though I enrolled early, has Tang God-King's hand still reached this far?!

Room 108!

Wasn't that Wang Dong'er's room in the original story?

Share a room with Wang Dong while she pretends to be a boy, then stumble into that twisted "brothers to spouses" romance?

Tang God-King's schemes really do reach everywhere!

He even went full Hannibal Lecter, personally splitting his daughter's soul to make a leash tailored for me, the Child of the Plane!

And after fusing two SSRs, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, the result was a trash R-card, Tang Wutong. Who could take that with a straight face?

As Huo Yuhao ranted inwardly, he considered what excuse he could use to become a day student and get as far from Room 108 as possible.

But in the next instant...

His eyes flickered, and he spun around!

Xiao Yan was startled when Huo Yuhao suddenly turned toward him. He instinctively took half a step back.

What sharp senses...

Surprise flashed through his eyes.

Then again, Huo Yuhao's martial soul is the mental-type Spirit Eyes. It makes sense that his perception is far beyond an ordinary person's.

Huo Yuhao already knew Xiao Yan's background. He had even watched Xiao Yan's battle with Tang Chuan for quite some time.

Still, he put on a bewildered expression and asked timidly,

"Classmate, do you... need something?"

"Oh? Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"

Xiao Yan recovered and immediately broke into a warm smile.

"I'm a new student this year too. My name's Xiao Yan."

"I just got my dorm key, and they assigned me a tiny single room against the wall.

Xiao Yan sighed, looking embarrassed.

"You see, I've been afraid of the dark since I was little. I really can't sleep at night alone in a room that small..."

"So I wanted to ask, Huo Yuhao, would you swap rooms with me?"

Huo Yuhao laughed inwardly.

Afraid of the dark?

Seriously? He made up that excuse just to chase a girl?!

Outwardly, though, Huo Yuhao looked hesitant.

"Well... I'm not sure that's a good idea. The academy assigned us those rooms..."

"Come on, don't hesitate!"

Seeing an opening, Xiao Yan pressed his advantage.

He pulled an exquisite wooden box the size of his palm from his clothes and opened it.

A blue pill rested quietly on the silk lining inside.

It was clear and lustrous, like a blue gemstone, and a faint fragrance drifted from it.

A Blackwater Pill!

"This is a Blackwater Pill!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"It's a rare treasure you can hardly buy at any price. Taking it cleanses your body, improves your constitution, and even raises your Soul Power!"

"But you build up a tolerance if you take too many. I've already had several, so another won't do me any good."

"If you're willing to swap rooms with me, Huo, this Blackwater Pill is yours as compensation!"

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment.

A Blackwater Pill?

Good grief. Was this guy really willing to spend that much just to chase Tang God-King's precious daughter?

You couldn't buy one of these even if you had the money. Soul masters would fight tooth and nail for a single pill!

Xiao Yan saw Huo Yuhao's expression and laughed at him inwardly with contempt.

These primitives from the Douluo Continent really don't know a thing.

This so-called Blackwater Pill is just a tablet made from a few precious ingredients. And they call it a pill?

On the Dou Qi Continent, even a dog would find it too hard to chew!
