Potions Textbook: Xiao Yan Wants to Swap Dorm Rooms with Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao plopped down on Lan Sheng's still-warm body, a thick book in his hands.

It was a comprehensive guide to Potions and Alchemy from the world of Harry Potter.

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

Wu Shi's system was pretty considerate, it seemed.

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 advantages available to Transmigrators.

The only thing that interested Huo Yuhao on that front was the Killing Curse.

But he didn't have a Wand Martial Soul, so he couldn't learn to cast it.

What Potions and Alchemy could produce, though? Those things were incredible, one after another!

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

Of all the Potions and Alchemy products, however, two interested Huo Yuhao most.

Felix Felicis and the Philosopher's Stone!

The astonishing thing about Felix Felicis 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 if he combined that with his status as a Child of the Plane...

With both advantages stacked together, wouldn't almost anything he wished for come true?

The Philosopher's Stone could turn base metals into gold, giving its holder limitless wealth.

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

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

Now that he had it, Huo Yuhao's advantages had multiplied several times over!

Apart from the book, though, Wu Shi's storage bracelet held nothing useful.

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!

He was dirt poor!

Then again, it made sense.

Fan fiction loved to claim that taking Blue Silver Grass down some path of ultimate life would make it unbeatable.

In reality, awakening a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul all but ruined a person's prospects.

Without some extraordinary opportunity, no amount of training would let someone with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul become more than an ordinary Soul Master.

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

Done searching him, Huo Yuhao stood and swept his gaze around the room.

After removing every trace of his presence, he set the entire room on fire.

Then he 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, and nodded.

"Tuition is ten Gold Soul Coins."

After collecting the money, the teacher brought out two 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."

"Keep your dorm key safe. Room 108, first floor of the boys' dormitory."

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

He had enrolled early, yet Tang God-King's hand was still at work?!

Room 108!

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

He was supposed to share a room with Wang Dong, who was disguised as a boy, and begin that twisted journey from "brothers" to spouses?

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

He had even gone full Hannibal Lecter, personally splitting his daughter's soul to make a leash tailored to Huo Yuhao, the Child of the Plane!

And after two SSR cards, Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, had been fused into the trash R card Tang Wutong, who wouldn't struggle to keep a straight face?

As Huo Yuhao ranted inwardly, he tried to think of an excuse to live off campus. The farther he stayed from Room 108, the better.

But in the next instant—

His eyes flickered, and he whipped around!

Xiao Yan was visibly startled when Huo Yuhao suddenly turned toward him. He instinctively stepped half a pace back.

What sharp perception...

Surprise flashed through his eyes.

Then again, Huo Yuhao has the Spirit Eyes, a mental-type Martial Soul. 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 much of Xiao Yan's battle with Tang Chuan.

Still, he put on a lost, bewildered look and asked timidly,

"Is... is there something you need?"

"Oh? Don't be nervous!"

Xiao Yan recovered and immediately gave him a warm smile.

"I'm a freshman too. My name's Xiao Yan."

"The thing is, I just got my dorm key. They assigned me a single room by the wall."

Xiao Yan sighed, looking embarrassed.

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

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

Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly.

Afraid of the dark?

Seriously? He'd made up an excuse like that just to chase a girl?!

Outwardly, though, Huo Yuhao looked hesitant.

"I... don't know. The academy assigned us those rooms..."

"Oh, don't hesitate!"

Seeing an opening, Xiao Yan pressed his advantage.

He pulled an exquisite palm-sized Wooden Box from inside his robe and opened it.

Inside, a blue pill lay on a bed of brocade.

The pill was clear and lustrous, like a blue gemstone, and gave off a faint, pleasant fragrance.

A Blackwater Pill!

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

"It's a rare treasure you could scarcely buy even for ten thousand gold. Taking it cleanses your body and improves your constitution. It can even raise your Soul Power!"

"But repeated doses lose their effect. I've already taken several, so another one won't do anything for me."

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

Huo Yuhao froze for a moment.

A Blackwater Pill?

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

These pills were nearly impossible to find on the market. Countless Soul Masters would fight tooth and nail for a single one!

Watching Huo Yuhao's expression, Xiao Yan laughed contemptuously to himself.

The primitives of Douluo Continent really don't know anything.

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

Back on Dou Qi Continent, even a dog would find it too hard to chew!
