**Chapter 43 - Huo Yuhao's Temptation (2700 words)**
[Thank You @Orion Chung For Joining My Patreon]
The opportunity of the Heavenly Flame child fire cannot be missed. Huo Yuhao chose three without hesitation. After all, the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well are a huge opportunity.
If he was lucky enough to use this passive power, coupled with Huo Yuhao's good luck, he would obtain the residual souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. It can be said that this opportunity is amazing.
Correspondingly, he would also obtain a heavenly flame seed that ranks higher on the heavenly flame ranking and has a higher overall quality.
"Yuhao, my Jade Phosphor Serpent venom and the poisonous fog released by the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers are of the same lineage, but the toxins it contains are more concentrated and more toxic."
Dugu Luo had a certain resistance to the poisonous fog released by the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers.
"I can stay in the poison barrier for a while. What about you, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao's mind moved, and the dark white flames quickly spread all over his body. "Don't worry, Sister Dugu, these poisonous mists can't hurt me."
The gray-green mist in the poison barrier instantly turned into wisps of light smoke and drifted away as soon as it came into contact with the flame film formed by the Chilling Bone Flame outside Huo Yuhao's body. The space a few centimeters outside his body became much brighter.
However, given their current strengths, they couldn't pose enough of a threat to the immortal herbs.
Even if they successfully entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it would be difficult to communicate with them in a friendly manner.
So Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo began to scout the area outside the poison barrier and marked it on the map.
After a few hours, Dugu Luo marked the surrounding terrain in detail on the map and asked cheerfully, "Yuhao, when will we come over later?" Huo Yuhao smiled but did not respond clearly, simulating an Angry Buddha Lotus Flame.
"To be on the safe side, when my Flame Lotus has one or two more colors, we will enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so that we can show our kindness to the greatest extent."
Dugu Luo blinked. "You mean, the more colors the Flame Lotus has, the stronger its power will be?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "You can understand it that way."
After that, Dugu Luo listened to Huo Yuhao's simple description of the lethality of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame and launched a series of associations, the corners of her lips gradually curving.
As long as the power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame is strong enough, it can prevent people from being arrogant and impatient.
Presumably, the immortal herbs would also follow their inner thoughts and communicate with Huo Yuhao calmly and more effectively.
It was already evening when they finished scouting the area around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
After Huo Yuhao defeated the Crypt Demon Spider, he simulated himself and Dugu Luo to become invisible. At the same time, he simulated "Huo Yuhao" and "Dugu Luo," who were exactly like the two of them and went in other directions.
This move was not for any other purpose; it was simply for stability and prudence.
Xu Sheng, who was trying to secretly protect Huo Yuhao and the others from behind, was quite confused.
"Xuan Ziwen, don't your self-made soul guide glasses have extremely keen scanning and perception capabilities for mental power? How could you lose them?"
Xuan Ziwen's glasses flashed white. After thinking seriously for a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that the soul skill that can make that kid invisible has other special effects."
"We were halfway through following them, and my soul-sensing glasses were misled by their spiritual bodies, causing us to follow their spiritual bodies halfway."
Xuan Ziwen admired Huo Yuhao more and more. Whether it was this cautious mind or the special spiritual attribute soul skill, it seemed to be tailor-made for soul guidance devices.
"Hey, Xuan Ziwen, look."
Xu Sheng vaguely saw two figures in the poisonous fog and patted Xuan Ziwen's arm. "They came out and didn't seem to be in any danger."
…
After a few hours, it was dark. Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo walked out of the poisonous fog, found a place to clear out, and set up a tent.
The air outside the poisonous fog was much fresher, and the surrounding green jungle trees had a somewhat vibrant atmosphere, allowing people to feel a little breath of life.
Outside the tent, Huo Yuhao took out an alchemy furnace.
"Yuhao, are you going to prepare the elixir? Take a look at these herbs to see if they can be used?" Dugu Luo took out a handful of herbs from her storage soul guide with curiosity and joy on her face.
There were all kinds of them, including common, precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, as well as dogtail grass and wild chrysanthemum found on the roadside.
Huo Yuhao took a look and couldn't help but sigh that Dugu Luo had worked hard to survive and find a way to make a living on her own.
"Most of the herbs can be used; just clean them."
Then he released the cold air to form a freezer. With a thought, the freezer was filled with water melted from ice, which looked quite clear and clean.
Dugu Luo was happy to hear that her herbs were not collected in vain and said, "Yuhao, I was very powerful when I was young. I could walk briskly in the forest when I was only five or six years old."
"After awakening my martial soul, I tried many herbs to suppress the toxins in my body. Anyway, I am not afraid of poisonous herbs. No matter how poisonous they are, they are not as toxic as the venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent."
As Dugu Luo spoke, she held a pile of herbs, walked to the freezer filled with water, and carefully cleaned them.
Huo Yuhao released the purple fire and began to refine pills. He planned to refine some soul-restoring pills and detoxification pills.
Several medicinal materials were distributed in advance according to their medicinal properties, and with the support of soul power, they were put into the alchemy furnace one by one. Then, a purple flame began to burn in the alchemy furnace.
As the medicinal materials were continuously poured in, bursts of elixir fragrance wafted out of the alchemy furnace, and taking a breath of it felt like ascending to heaven.
Dugu Luo's green eyes were half-nervous and half-expectant, even though the detoxification pill would break down the toxins that were linked to her combat power.
But compared to the life-threatening danger of escaping from the toxin outbreak, a little less was nothing.
Nearly two hours later, with a bang, bursts of fragrance wafted out.
Before, Huo Yuhao still needed the cooperation of Electrolux to integrate the life breath of the Seal of Living Beings into the elixir, but after reaching the second ring, he could do it on his own.
Huo Yuhao's mind moved, and through the traction of his soul power, several green pills flew out.
"Sister Dugu, this is my first time refining a detoxification pill. I don't know how effective it is. You can try it." Huo Yuhao wrapped a pill with his soul power and controlled it to slowly fly in front of Dugu Luo.
"Well, thank you, Yuhao." Dugu Luo took the detoxification pill.
"It's okay. Finding the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time will be of great help to me in the future," Huo Yuhao responded and continued to refine the elixir. The number of Soul-Restoring Pills must be replenished at all times. After all, this kind of elixir is even more valuable than a 'milk bottle'.
After Dugu Luo took the pill, she could feel her whole body relax. The poison accumulated in her body seemed to have met its nemesis and was slightly dissolved by the power of the detoxification pill.
She exhaled; in the short term, taking one detoxification pill would be enough.
When the toxins accumulated from practicing her martial soul reached a point that she could no longer bear, she would take detoxification pills. However, her practice speed would be slower than before.
...
"Xuan Ziwen, what did I see? That little brother is refining his elixirs. If he was born in Sun and Moon, I would suspect that he was born in an environment where everyone in Sun and Moon is taking elixirs." Xu Sheng felt it was incredible.
He thought of Xuan Ziwen's background and coughed lightly.
"Well, you don't seem to be a native of our Sun and Moon, but it doesn't matter. It's enough to come to our Sun and Moon and get better development."
Xuan Ziwen didn't care about these words. He was watching Huo Yuhao make pills very seriously.
"The pills he made seem to be completely different from ours. The medicinal properties are almost perfect, and there are no perceived drawbacks."
Xuan Ziwen suddenly understood the differences between the pills.
He felt that he could no longer see through Huo Yuhao. The Flame Lotus he had released earlier had a power far exceeding that of soul masters of the same level, and just now it could condense into a freezer with a wave of his hand.
What amazed him even more was that the other party mastered a strange alchemy technique that was far beyond his understanding.
Facing the temptation of Huo Yuhao, Xuan Ziwen's admiration for talent could no longer be suppressed. It was a pity that such a genius was not cultivated by him.
Perhaps one day in the future, the master and disciple would be able to achieve a breakthrough in the field of soul guidance technology and take soul guidance technology a step further, developing soul guidance technology that was several versions ahead of Douluo.
Huo Yuhao was concentrating on refining the elixir when, at this moment, a gentle voice was heard.
"Little boy, are you selling your pills?"
A man with glasses and a gentle appearance came over with another tall and thin man with a calm temperament. They were Xuan Ziwen and Xu Sheng.
Xuan Ziwen had an extremely infectious and friendly smile on his face. He asked about Huo Yuhao and then took the initiative to introduce himself and make his identity clear.
"Don't be afraid, little friend. My name is Xuan Ziwen. I am a senior researcher at the Sun Moon Empire and Illustrious Virtue Hall, and also a teacher at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
"His name is Xu Sheng, and his position is the same as mine."
Xuan Ziwen? Huo Yuhao was suddenly stunned. This was strange. He had met this scientific research giant in the Sunset Forest of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
After thinking for a few seconds without any idea, he smiled and politely replied, "Hello, teachers. I am selling this detoxification pill, which can dissolve the most common toxins. You can decide the price."
Huo Yuhao did not want to sell the Soul-Restoring Pill for the time being. This pill could restore soul power and had no side effects.
In the current Douluo pill system, which is almost a mess, there was finally a dimensionality reduction attack.
If Xuan Ziwen knew the effect of the Soul-Restoring Pill and thought about the high-end milk bottle he had spent so much time researching, he would surely fall into deep self-doubt and be devastated.
Xu Sheng pointed at the Soul-Restoring Pill and asked with a smile, "Little brother, don't you want to sell this pill?"
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "This pill is still in the experimental stage and has great side effects. My moral character does not allow me to sell it."
Xu Sheng looked at him as if to say, "You are a dishonest boy." He had just seen him stuff a Soul-Restoring Pill into his mouth from time to time.
Xuan Ziwen smiled gently and said slowly, "I've heard that in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, a Xuanshui Pill is worth a fortune."
"But it can't be sold at such a high price in the Sun Moon Empire. The market price of detoxification pills ranges from one silver soul coin to one hundred gold soul coins, depending on the quality and effect."
"Little friend, I will buy a detoxification pill like yours for the highest price of one hundred gold soul coins. How about it?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Then he took out a small porcelain white bottle, put a detoxification pill in it, and handed it to Xuan Ziwen.
While Xuan Ziwen accepted the white porcelain bottle, he took out a small bag of gold soul coins and gave it to Huo Yuhao.
Since other people had arrived, Huo Yuhao stopped refining pills and put away the alchemy furnace.
"Then, both teachers, please do as you please." Huo Yuhao walked to Dugu Luo and said, "We are ready to rest." As he said that, he and Dugu Luo prepared to get into the tent. It was indeed tiring to go to the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well today.
As for Xuan Ziwen's purpose, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this man was considered a relatively upright character in the original novel. He had a great talent for researching soul guide technology and didn't have too many flaws.
"Hey, wait a minute, kid." Xuan Ziwen called out to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao turned around with a polite smile on his face. "Is there anything else, Teacher Xuan?"
"I see that you two came to the Sunset Forest without any adults or teachers accompanying you..."
Thanks to Huo Yuhao's knowledge of Xuan Ziwen's character in the original novel, and the other party had already introduced himself, he did not hide anything.
"My name is Huo Yuhao. I come from the Star Luo Empire. My mother was killed by a noble lady, and I am the only one left in my family now."
Xuan Ziwen didn't expect this to be the result of his question and was stunned for a moment.
The originally harmonious topic seemed to have reached a deadlock.
Xuan Ziwen felt deeply apologetic. "I'm sorry, Yuhao; the teacher didn't mean to expose your scars." Huo Yuhao shook his head and said nothing.
(Tang Ya:? I guess no one mentioned me.)
Xuan Ziwen did not ask about the key experience information. He was thinking about how to start the conversation so that he could have a more accurate identification and understanding of him.
At this time, Xu Sheng asked, "Yuhao, do you have any plans for the future? For example, become a powerful soul master and avenge your mother."
Huo Yuhao thought without hesitation, "This is one of my goals. I want revenge, revenge for my mother!"
Xuan Ziwen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "Yuhao, which academy are you studying in now?"
"If not, can you tell the teacher what your martial soul is? Maybe I can recommend you to my academy, which is a very good academy."
Huo Yuhao understood something. The two seemed to want to attract him to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, so he told them about his situation to gauge their attitudes.
"I haven't started school yet."
"As for my martial soul, it is a main body martial soul with a spiritual attribute, and the spiritual eye is mutated from the eyes."
Although he had already guessed it when he heard the two keywords, "spiritual attribute" and "main body martial soul," Xuan Ziwen's heart was still stirred.
Xu Sheng almost couldn't hold back and crushed the white porcelain bottle in his hand.
Eye Martial Soul! The top-level spiritual attribute of the martial soul!
"Yuhao, are you willing to come to our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy to study? With your unique advantage of martial soul, you can maximize your potential in our academy."
Xuan Ziwen looked at Dugu Luo, a smile on his face. "Of course, your friend can also study in our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
