Chapter 16: Soul Essence Jade Mushroom
The young girl in the golden skirt twisted and conversed in a low voice with the guests.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion had all sorts of guests, but most were middle-aged, with few Shrek Academy students.
For most Shrek Academy students, it was better to come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion during the Treasure Appreciation Fair.
Huo Yuhao walked into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and immediately a young girl in a short golden skirt came up to him.
"Soul Master, welcome to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. You can browse the goods at your leisure. If you need anything, I can accompany you and explain them."
Taking out the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's red card, Huo Yuhao handed it to the girl in the golden skirt.
"Can you take me upstairs?"
The first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion contained items of little value. Electrolux had urged Huo Yuhao to go directly to the second floor, as he didn't care for the dregs on the first floor... The girl in the golden skirt looked at the red card with a hint of gold Pattern and was somewhat stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao asked.
"Ah, no, no, honored guest, please wait a moment, I'll call the manager over."
After saying that, she rushed off somewhat hastily, her skirt fluttering.
After a moment, a young girl in a long white dress came before Huo Yuhao.
"Honored guest, you've waited long."
"Yes, take me to the second floor."
Handing the red card to her, Huo Yuhao said.
Such is the power of Spiritual Power. From the beginning, this girl in white had focused her attention on the red card, so handing it directly to her saved him some trouble.
The girl in white respectfully took the red card, and with just a glance, confirmed its authenticity.
The red card was made of Scarlet Spirit Warm Jade, and using such a precious gem to make a red card was inherently a symbol of luxury.
"Sir, please follow me."
The girl in white more respectfully returned the red card to Huo Yuhao and led him to the second floor.
The second floor presented a different scene; it was more elegant, and the welcoming girls were even more beautiful and slender.
The girl in white followed behind Huo Yuhao, holding a notebook. Whatever items Huo Yuhao requested, she immediately recorded them, to be tallied and paid for later.
"Mhm mhm, Yuhao, and this, this, this..."
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to listen to Electrolux, pointing out many items as if he were on a shopping spree.
Originally, Huo Yuhao thought Electrolux only wanted to perform Alchemy, but unexpectedly, he also bought many rare metals and spirit tool blueprints.
He also bought quite a few miscellaneous and strange items.
He even bought a thousand-year Soul Bone.
This made Huo Yuhao think of a possibility.
Electrolux, could he be planning Artifact Refining? This was the grand senior who once personally crafted the Divine Artifact, the Tower of Eternity!
But on second thought, it still seemed impossible.
How many Materials would it take to refine the Tower of Eternity? The money he had wouldn't be enough.
After browsing the vast second floor and spending several million gold coins, he finally stopped.
Looking at the stairs leading to the third floor, Huo Yuhao asked the girl in white beside him, who was constantly writing.
"Can I go to the third floor?"
The girl in white was startled, about to say something, then paused, and still said, "Of course you can, sir. You have the highest VIP privileges in our Treasure Gathering Pavilion."
Saying this, she led Huo Yuhao towards the stairs.
"The third floor primarily stores extremely high-value treasures, including many ten-thousand-year Soul Bones. Even during a Treasure Appreciation Fair, only a portion of the items are put up for sale."
"But your VIP privileges are extensive, you can absolutely go up and select items."
They arrived at the third floor.
What the girl in white said was indeed true; this place was filled with treasures.
Through his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao saw at least a dozen Soul Bones, all of them at least ten-thousand-year level.
It could be said that the value of the treasures on the third floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was enough to make any Titled Douluo take risks.
But here, there was more than one Titled Douluo guarding it!
According to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's detection, the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion had at least six Soul Douluo, two Titled Douluo, and one Super Douluo.
Electrolux? He didn't care about powerful individuals; he was busy detecting those treasures on his own.
"Hmm?"
In Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, he could clearly feel a display stand emitting strong spiritual fluctuations.
What was that?
Inside a crystal display case, a warm jade box rested quietly under soft lighting.
There was a label on the display stand.
(Soul Essence Jade Mushroom: 259 grams)
(A strange canyon in the Star Dou Great Forest's mixed zone. The canyon was filled with skeletal remains, and a ganoderma grew on a jade-like boulder within. Its entire body was pure white like mutton-fat jade, and its cap was covered with faint golden patterns. After appraisal by Titled Douluo-level powerhouses and multiple pharmacology Masters, it was confirmed to possess the effects of repairing Soul damage, filling Soul deficiencies, and mending shattered Martial Souls.)
Undoubtedly, this was an extremely precious treasure.
Countless Soul Masters on the continent had shattered Martial Souls; who wouldn't want to repair their Martial Soul?
For a Soul Master, a shattered Martial Soul at the very least meant the end of their Soul Master career, and at worst, death.
This Soul Essence Jade Mushroom, which could repair Martial Souls, would not be less valuable than a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.
He looked at the price, and sure enough, it was very 'beautiful'.
Twelve million gold coins.
Huo Yuhao looked around the third floor. The prices of ten-thousand-year Soul Bones were generally above six million gold coins, but those were the cheapest ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, and the Soul Beasts that produced them were not of noble Bloodline.
Buy it! Huo Yuhao had one opportunity to purchase a treasure unconditionally.
In other words, the most expensive fifty-thousand-year Soul Bone on the entire third floor, valued at twenty-three million gold coins.
Huo Yuhao could take that Soul Bone directly, and whether he sold it for money or gave it away afterward was up to him.
"Yuhao, you can hold off on buying this treasure for now. Go buy the hundred-year Immortal Spiritual Herb at that other display stand; that's a great tonic and will help you suffer less in the upcoming plans."
Electrolux's voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's ear.
"Master, I can endure that little bit of hardship, but your remnant Soul, please repair it quickly if you can."
Electrolux fell silent, and after a long while, he sighed.
"Alright, if this wisp of my remnant Soul is repaired somewhat, I can do more things."
Finally, at checkout, Huo Yuhao used his one free quota to buy the Soul Essence Jade Mushroom. The other items combined totaled over five million seven hundred thousand gold coins.
He had a five million gold coin free quota.
Originally, Huo Yuhao was going to take out seven hundred and ten thousand gold coins from his ring to cover the expenses beyond the quota, but the girl in white informed him that such a small amount didn't need to be paid.
Thus, that morning, Huo Yuhao left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with treasures worth seventeen million seven hundred and ten thousand gold coins.
One can only say that being a Sea Gods Pavilion Master's Disciple is truly great.
"Master, is this Soul Essence Jade Mushroom very useful to you?"
"It's alright. With some Spiritual Objects, it can probably restore my remnant Soul to thirty percent. Thirty percent of my Soul is enough to protect you completely."
"Master, is it the Soul Essence Jade Mushroom's effect of repairing Soul damage that works for you, or its effect of mending Martial Souls?"
"I only need to repair my Soul, but Heaven And Earth Treasure of ordinary quality won't work for a divine soul at my level."
