Brewing Felix Felicis and Huo Yuhao's Plan to Reclaim the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

After the morning's classes ended, Huo Yuhao was the first to rush out of the classroom.

He raced through several shops in Shrek City that specialized in medicinal ingredients.

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

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

Once he had everything,

Huo Yuhao rented a cultivation room outside the academy.

"Phew..."

Inside the room, Huo Yuhao let out a long breath and began checking the ingredients laid out before him.

Common ingredients such as horseradish, squill bulbs, and rue powder could be found on Douluo Continent.

Several other ingredients in the original Felix Felicis recipe, however, did not exist there at all.

Fortunately, the Complete Guide to Potions provided substitutes taken from several soul beasts.

Those substitutes all had one thing in common.

They were expensive!

That little assortment had cost Huo Yuhao more than twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins!

It was nearly a third of everything he had saved since arriving in this world!

Worst of all,

if the brewing failed, he had no second set of ingredients to try again!

Several of them had been the only ones available even across all those shops.

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

"Dear will of the plane!"

"I'm your Child of the Plane, working hard to hunt down transmigrators for you. Please let me succeed on the first try!"

Then Huo Yuhao dropped the Fire-Scaled Snake egg and horseradish into the cauldron and switched on the Soul Tool Heater.

Whoosh!

A scorching blue flame rose and began heating the cauldron.

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

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

After drying it over the flame, he ground it into powder and added it.

He crushed and sifted the Wind Snake eggshell, then added it in three portions.

The Sunflower juice went in last. He stirred thirteen times clockwise, then thirteen times counterclockwise...

As each ingredient entered the cauldron, the liquid churned and changed color again and again.

At last, after Huo Yuhao completed the final step with precision,

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

It shimmered with dazzling light, 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 illustrated in the Complete Guide to Potions!

Huo Yuhao cradled the bottle, unable to suppress his grin.

Felix Felicis!

The most absurdly powerful potion in the world of Harry Potter!

A Child of the Plane plus Felix Felicis—his luck was off the charts!

Whether he could claim the spoils this time depended on it!

Huo Yuhao tipped his head back and downed the entire bottle in one go.

Immediately, an indescribable feeling welled up inside him!

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

Huo Yuhao felt better than he ever had!

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

It seemed that anything he set out to do was bound to succeed!

Even his Spirit Eyes shone a little brighter under the potion's effect.

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

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, the corners of his mouth lifting.

But the next moment, he found himself opening the Complete Guide to Potions again.

It had not been a conscious decision. Some unseen force seemed to be guiding him.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's gaze settled on a page.

His hands moved fluidly as he sorted through the remaining ingredients.

He added them to the cauldron one by one. With Felix Felicis helping him, every movement was as precise as a machine's.

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

It was milky white, like freshly drawn milk.

Huo Yuhao carefully bottled it and tucked it into his storage Soul Tool.

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

A gust of wind carried the rustle of fluttering paper.

Huo Yuhao raised a hand without thinking.

A windblown flyer landed neatly in his palm.

He looked down, and the words on it brought a smile to his face.

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

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

Fifteen minutes later,

Knock, knock, knock!

"Brother Tang Chuan, look at this!"

Huo Yuhao knocked on Tang Chuan's dorm room door and handed him the flyer.

"What is it?"

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

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

Yet he could not say what had changed.

Tang Chuan frowned, then thought no more of it.

But when he looked down at the flyer in his hand,

his breathing instantly grew heavy.

A line of large, gilded letters ran across it.

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

"Final lot: a ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone!"

A ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone!

Tang Chuan stared at the words, his heart pounding despite himself!

His Blue Silver Grass martial soul might have fused with the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

But at its core, Blue Silver Grass was still Blue Silver Grass, still a low-grade martial soul!

Wood Release was powerful because the Ninjutsu was powerful, not because his martial soul was!

If he could absorb that ten-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Soul Bone, its resilience might well strengthen his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Then who could stand against Wood Release combined with an evolved Blue Silver Grass martial soul?!

"I have to go to this fair!"

Tang Chuan made up his mind and rose at once.

"Yuhao, thanks!"

"You brought me such important news. I can't leave you out!"

"Come on, I'll take you... to see something special!"

Huo Yuhao curled his lip.

See something special?

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

"Then thank you, Brother Tang Chuan!"

Huo Yuhao and Tang Chuan left the dormitory building together.

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

Xiao Yan leaned against a window, gently stroking the Heavy Xuan Ruler behind him, his eyes narrowed to slits.

He watched Tang Chuan walk away, a cold smile touching his lips.

At the same time, outside the dormitory building, beneath the trees,

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

"That damned brat dared to incite the freshmen to skip class and made me lose so much face in the outer court!"

"He's asking to die!!!"
