Brewing Felix Felicis, Huo Yuhao's plan to reclaim the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

As soon as the morning classes ended, Huo Yuhao was the first to dash out of the classroom.

He raced through several shops specializing in medicinal ingredients across Shrek City as fast as he could.

He bought different ingredients in separate batches, along with a cauldron and a Soul Tool Heater.

To be safe, he deliberately bought a few unrelated ingredients at every shop to throw anyone watching off the trail.

Once he had finished shopping...

Huo Yuhao rented a cultivation room outside the academy.

"Phew..."

Inside the cultivation room, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath, then began taking stock of the materials laid out before him.

Common ingredients such as horseradish, squill bulbs, and powdered rue existed on the Douluo Continent.

But several other ingredients in the original Felix Felicis recipe simply did not.

Fortunately, the Complete Guide to Potions thoughtfully substituted materials harvested from several soul beasts.

All those materials, however, had one thing in common.

They were expensive!

That little assortment of odds and ends had cost Huo Yuhao over twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins!

That was almost a third of everything he had saved since transmigrating!

And the worst part was...

If he failed, there would be no second set of ingredients for another attempt!

Several of the ingredients had no replacements available, even across all the major medicinal shops.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and pressed his palms together.

"Big brother, will of the plane!"

"Considering how hard I've worked for you as your child of the plane, hunting down transmigrators, please bless me with success on my first try!"

Then Huo Yuhao tossed the Fire-Scaled Snake eggs and horseradish straight into the cauldron and switched on the Soul Tool Heater.

Whoosh!

Scorching blue flames flared up, heating the cauldron.

Following the steps in the Complete Guide to Potions, Huo Yuhao began adding the other ingredients.

He picked out the Red-Furred Rat's dorsal nerves with a silver needle.

After drying them over the flames, he ground them into powder and added them.

He crushed and sifted the Wind Snake eggshells, adding them in three batches.

The Sunflower juice went in last, followed by thirteen clockwise stirs and thirteen counterclockwise stirs...

As each ingredient went into the cauldron, the liquid inside kept churning and changing color.

Finally, after Huo Yuhao precisely completed the last step...

The liquid in the cauldron turned the color of molten gold!

It shimmered brilliantly, breathtakingly beautiful!

"It worked!"

Overjoyed, Huo Yuhao hurriedly took out a glass bottle he had prepared and carefully poured the golden liquid into it.

A full bottle, gleaming gold!

It looked exactly like the Felix Felicis depicted in the Complete Guide to Potions!

Holding the glass bottle, Huo Yuhao could not suppress his grin.

Felix Felicis!

The most absurdly powerful potion in the Harry Potter world!

Child of the plane plus Felix Felicis—my luck is maxed out!

Whether I can loot him successfully this time depends on this!

Huo Yuhao tipped his head back and gulped down the entire bottle of Felix Felicis in one go.

Immediately, an indescribably wonderful sensation welled up within him!

It was an unparalleled confidence bursting from the depths of his soul.

Huo Yuhao felt that he could not possibly be in better shape!

His mind had never been clearer, his thoughts had never been quicker, and his body had never felt lighter!

It was as though anything he wanted to do would surely succeed!

Even his Spirit Eyes grew a little brighter under the effects of Felix Felicis.

"So this is... what it feels like to have fortune on your side?"

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

Yet the next second, he instinctively opened the Complete Guide to Potions again.

It was not a conscious choice; some unseen force seemed to urge him to do it.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's gaze settled on one of the pages.

His hands moved with effortless fluidity as he began sorting the remaining materials.

Ingredient after ingredient went into the cauldron. With Felix Felicis aiding him, Huo Yuhao's movements were as precise as a machine's.

In less than an hour, a fresh bottle of another potion was ready.

The potion was milky white, like freshly drawn milk.

Huo Yuhao carefully bottled it and put it away in his Storage Soul Tool.

Then he pushed open the cultivation room's door and stepped outside.

A gust of wind blew past, carrying the rustle of fluttering paper.

Huo Yuhao instinctively raised a hand.

A flyer carried by the wind landed squarely in his palm.

He glanced down, and its contents brought a smile to his lips.

"So that's how it is..."

"Tang Chuan, it's time you returned Brother Sky Dream to me!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Brother Tang Chuan, look at this!"

Huo Yuhao knocked on Tang Chuan's dormitory door and handed him the flyer when he opened it.

"What is it?"

Tang Chuan took the flyer with some displeasure, but first gave Huo Yuhao a somewhat surprised look.

For some reason, just a moment ago, his Sharingan had faintly sensed a change in Huo Yuhao.

Yet he could not say exactly what had changed.

Tang Chuan frowned but gave it no further thought.

However, when his gaze fell on the flyer in his hand...

His breathing instantly grew heavy.

A large headline was printed on the flyer in gilded lettering.

"Shrek City's Treasure Pavilion presents a grand Treasure Appreciation Fair tonight!"

"The final auction item: a ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone!"

A ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone!

Tang Chuan stared fixedly at those words, his heart racing uncontrollably!

Although his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had fused with the Wood Release kekkei genkai...

At its core, Blue Silver Grass was still Blue Silver Grass. Its foundation remained that of a low-grade martial soul!

Wood Release was powerful, but that was the strength of the ninjutsu, not the martial soul!

If he could absorb this ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone, Lone Bamboo's toughness would surely give him a chance to strengthen his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Then, with Wood Release combined with an upgraded Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, who could stop him?!

"I have to attend this Treasure Appreciation Fair!"

Tang Chuan made his decision immediately and rose to his feet.

"Yuhao, thank you!"

"Since you've brought me such important information, I can't let you go unrewarded!"

"Come on, I'll take you... to broaden your horizons!"

Huo Yuhao curled his lip.

Broaden my horizons?

If you don't want to spend money, just say so. Why put on airs?

"Then thank you, Brother Tang Chuan!"

Soon afterward, Huo Yuhao and Tang Chuan left the dormitory building together.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the freshmen's dormitory...

Xiao Yan leaned against the window, gently stroking the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back, his eyes narrowed to slits.

Watching Tang Chuan's retreating back, he curled his lips into a cold smile.

At the same time, outside the dormitory building, in the shadows of the trees...

Zhou Yi watched Tang Chuan leave, murderous intent laid bare in her eyes!

"That damned brat actually dared to incite the freshmen to boycott class and humiliate me in the Outer Academy!"

"He's practically begging to die!!!"
