Chapter 132 The Deal is Made
"I want your secret medicine that can help absorb spirit rings."
The other students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy looked at each other, not understanding what Huo Yuhao was saying.
A secret medicine that can help absorb spirit rings? They had never heard of such a thing before.
Unlike the confusion of others, Huo Yuhao's words exploded in Xiao Hongchen's mind like a thunderclap.
How could he know that their Sun Moon Empire possessed a secret elixir that aided in the absorption of spirit rings?!
Xiao Hongchen stared intently into Huo Yuhao's eyes, trying to discern something from them, but Huo Yuhao's eyes remained as calm as still water, revealing no useful information.
How did Huo Yuhao find out that they had a secret medicine that could help absorb spirit rings?!
This is an imperial secret! If Jing Hongchen hadn't been in charge of this matter, even Xiao Hongchen wouldn't have had the opportunity to access this information, let alone use it!
Xiao Hongchen's fifth soul ring, Golden Affection, came from a rare 30,000-year-old soul beast.
It should be noted that even among the soul masters of Shrek Academy, very few have a fifth soul ring that is more than 20,000 years old. If it weren't for the help of the secret medicine, how could a soul master absorb such a high level soul ring?
The development of this secret medicine project was an attempt by the Sun Moon Empire to catch up with Shrek Academy in terms of high-end combat power, and it has yielded some results in recent years.
Because its cost was too high to be widely adopted and its value limited, the person in charge of the research had not yet passed the news on to his superiors. Even the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was unaware of the news at this time.
Xiao Hongchen only obtained this secret medicine as a test subject in the second round of experiments thanks to his grandfather's help.
Where did Huo Yuhao get this information? Could it be that there's a mole among the experimental personnel?!
Huo Yuhao had no idea that his words had stirred up a storm in Xiao Hongchen's heart. After all, the original story only briefly mentioned this matter without any further plot developments. Huo Yuhao was also unaware of the magnitude of the events involved in this single pill.
Huo Yuhao only recently noticed this part of the storyline while checking information about the opponents in the competition.
(Even though Huo Yuhao could memorize all the words in the book, it was impossible for him to notice every single one, wasn't it?)
"Everyone else, get out first!"
When Elder Ma's voice suddenly rang out, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knew that what was about to happen was beyond their knowledge, so they wisely and quietly withdrew, closing the meeting room door behind them.
Although Master Ma didn't know what this secret medicine was, he knew that there were some things the younger generation shouldn't know, so he immediately cleared the area.
At the same time, adhering to the principle of not listening to what should not be heard, Old Ma quietly withdrew, leaving the space to Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings, the two or three parties involved.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Meng Hongchen erected a barrier of soul power to block out any non-existent prying eyes.
Seeing that the bystanders had all left, Xiao Hongchen said firmly, "I don't care where you got your information, but as for the secret medicine, no way!"
"Oh dear, don't be so absolute..." Huo Yuhao wasn't disappointed by Xiao Hongchen's firm refusal. If he really didn't want to talk, he would have kicked him out already. The fact that he was still standing there meant that everything was still negotiable...
"You must have some information about the Profound Water Pill, right? Its effect on nourishing the meridians is top-notch across the entire continent. Even in your Sun Moon Empire, there probably aren't many medicines that can compare. I've personally experienced its effects. I can only say that after taking the Profound Water Pill, all other meridian-nourishing pills are worthless."
"Alright, I'll increase it to three pills for you. The effectiveness of the Profound Water Pill decreases with use. After three, any more won't be of much use. It's better to switch to other pills for conditioning..."
"If I need pills, I can naturally buy them through other channels. Why would I need to go through you?" Xiao Hongchen said disdainfully.
Although the effects of the Xuan Shui Dan were indeed very suitable for Xiao Hongchen, whose meridians were extremely fragile, he still refused without hesitation, considering the importance of the secret medicine.
The Sun Moon Empire has no shortage of money. Although the Profound Water Pill is rare, it's not like the Sun Moon Empire can't afford it. As long as they throw a bunch of gold soul coins at it, if all else fails, they can even use high-level soul tools. He doesn't believe that they can't buy it even if they offer such a high price.
"No, no, no..." Huo Yuhao gently shook his index finger.
"You should know that our transaction is not a barter, but rather I get the secret medicine I need, and you get the three Mystic Water Pills you need..."
"If you refuse, I can guarantee that for the next five years, not even a single Xuan Shui Pill will flow into the Sun Moon Empire, and in fact, Xuan Shui Pills will not appear on the market for the next five years..."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Hongchen was genuinely taken aback.
"Even if you're a student at Shrek Academy, you're not qualified to go this far, are you?"
Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, was less seriously injured and more quick-witted.
"You're wrong about that. With my abilities, I really can..."
Huo Yuhao took out the identity token given to him by Ning Tian from his storage soul tool and gestured to Hongchen and his sister.
"You should know that the vast majority of Xuan Shui Pills originate from the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce. If I want, for the next five years, not a single Xuan Shui Pill will leave the headquarters of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce..."
Xiao Hongchen closed his eyes, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Huo Yuhao estimated that the effect of one Xuan Shui Pill would at most speed up Xiao Hongchen's recovery by about half a year. Three pills would probably allow Xiao Hongchen to restore his meridians to their peak state a year earlier.
This is also why Xiao Hongchen hesitated. This is a year in the golden age of Soul Master cultivation, and this year may be the key to whether he can step into the Soul Emperor realm in the next Soul Master Competition...
Although the Sun Moon Empire has a lot of pills to improve cultivation, it has very few pills that can nourish the meridians. Otherwise, the Sun Moon Empire's geniuses wouldn't be so far behind Shrek Academy in terms of Soul Masters if they relied on such pills.
It's worth noting that even with the Sun Moon Empire using drugs, they barely managed to produce one Soul Emperor in this year's Soul Master Competition...
Xiao Hongchen was able to cultivate more than 40 levels of soul power in ten years from age six to fifteen, but in five years he could only increase his soul power by more than ten levels. He barely managed to touch the threshold of Soul Saint by sacrificing his potential.
It is obvious that the effects of the pills in the Sun Moon Empire are really limited. In terms of high-end pills, they are not even as good as those in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. They are only strong in low-level pills for nourishing the core forces from the third to the sixth ring.
Raw materials have always been a major obstacle restricting the alchemy of the Sun Moon Empire.
Time passed slowly, and Huo Yuhao was indeed in no hurry, patiently waiting for Xiao Hongchen's reply.
It took Xiao Hongchen a while to open his eyes and exhale a breath of stale air:
"I agree."
