Chapter 133 Home Delivery
"However, we need to discuss the specifics of the deal carefully..."
Xiao Hongchen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued, "No matter how you learned about the existence of the secret medicine, since you know the relevant circumstances, you naturally understand the significance of the secret medicine."
"The Mystic Water Pill is very precious, but it's far less valuable than the secret medicine..."
"How will you make up for the price difference?"
Xiao Hongchen stared intently into Huo Yuhao's eyes, trying to discern something from them.
If the Profound Water Pill hadn't truly helped him recover from his injuries faster, and if, based on current intelligence, Huo Yuhao hadn't actually prevented him from buying even a single Profound Water Pill for the next few years, Xiao Hongchen would never have agreed to such an unequal deal on his own initiative.
I'm sure I'll get a really bad scolding from my grandpa when I get back.
However, since he only exchanged a secret medicine for such important information, Grandpa probably won't pursue the matter too much; at most, he'll just give him a few verbal reprimands.
The development of the secret medicine involves the future strategic direction of the Sun Moon Empire and is an absolute secret of the empire. I never expected that even a second-ring student at Shrek Academy would know about it...
There must be a mole within Mingdetang. The person who has access to information about the secret medicine must be a big fish. Once we find them, the ownership of a mere portion of the secret medicine is actually not important.
Could Shrek and his friends possibly decipher the formula for the secret medicine just by using this one dose?
No matter how expensive the secret medicine is, its value is limited when taken out alone. What is precious is its formula and strategic value.
"It was indeed my oversight, but there isn't a suitable market price for the secret medicine. How to make up for the price difference is up to you to decide."
Huo Yuhao smiled and threw the topic back to Xiao Hongchen. He only knew that the secret medicine existed, and he would make more mistakes if he said too much. It was better to let Xiao Hongchen decide for himself, since he was not the one who was in a hurry to use the Xuan Shui Pill.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's smiling face throughout, and not being able to glean any useful information, Xiao Hongchen could only refocus his attention on the transaction in front of him.
"As far as I know, a single dose of this secret medicine is worth no less than 300,000 gold soul coins, and a single Xuan Shui Pill has a market price of 30,000 gold soul coins. There might be a premium at auctions, so let's say 100,000 gold soul coins for three..."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised, because at Shrek Academy's Nine Treasures Merchant Guild, the price of the Profound Water Pill was 10,000 gold soul coins.
Huo Yuhao's surprise did not attract Xiao Hongchen's attention, as Xiao Hongchen was still calculating the accounts.
The Mingde Hall Research Institute is currently producing a secret medicine. According to my grandfather, the raw materials alone, including various soul beast materials and rare metals, are worth more than 200,000 gold soul coins. This is also the reason why the secret medicine cannot be used on a large scale.
Add in the production costs, and it basically comes to around 300,000.
Of course, this is also due to the immaturity of the technology. The research institute is currently working to overcome this problem and expects to reduce the cost of the secret medicine to less than 50,000 gold soul coins.
However, nowadays, a single dose of this secret medicine does indeed cost around 300,000 gold soul coins, and that doesn't even include the cost of their research.
"That difference of two hundred thousand..."
Xiao Hongchen glanced at Huo Yuhao's equipment; even his soul tool was so shabby, it seemed he couldn't afford that much money.
"Let's put that aside for now. Such a precious medicine can't possibly be carried around. Only Mingde Hall has it in stock. Why don't you go there yourself?"
Xiao Hongchen eagerly awaited Huo Yuhao's reply.
Once they're on his turf, he's going to teach this guy a lesson and show him the pain of having bright light shining into his eyes.
Lingmou: Huh?
Huo Yuhao was also somewhat troubled after hearing Xiao Hongchen's words.
That's true. It's normal to keep secret medicines that can help absorb soul rings in a safe place. Even with Xuan Shui Pills, people usually take one as soon as they get it. Apart from Xu Sanshi, the successor of the Xuanming Sect, no one else carries around a bunch of Xuan Shui Pills.
Huo Yuhao got these three Xuan Shui Pills from Xu Sanshi.
Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly delay obtaining his third soul ring just to wait for the secret medicine, could he?
After all, he still wanted to find the third spirit ring at the original timeline. He hadn't figured out the logic of this plane's will yet, and whether he could encounter the auspicious beast if he went at a different time depended on the plane's will.
Moreover, without Elder Xuan's support, how could Huo Yuhao be qualified to exchange his fate with the auspicious beast? He would probably be killed by the Crimson King's spit...
This meant Huo Yuhao didn't have the time to wait for the secret medicine.
and many more……
Will the Money-Giving Boy go to Shrek Academy later?
"I can use the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild's channels to exchange for roughly equivalent amounts of soul beast materials, guaranteeing at least a thousand different types. What do you say?"
After figuring out the arrangements, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to speak: "As for how to deliver the goods, I'll give you these three Xuan Shui Pills as a deposit. The rest can be handled by your grandfather when he goes to Shrek Academy..."
"Huh?" Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings, were stunned. Their grandfather was going to Shrek Academy? How come they didn't know?
Huo Yuhao recounted what had happened at the end of the previous match.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen then realized that such a thing had happened while they were unconscious.
The Sword of Judgment is the pinnacle of Mingde Hall's melee soul tools, ranking among the top of all level eight soul tools. For the Sword of Judgment, Grandpa might actually make a trip to Shrek Academy in person...
After finalizing the details, Huo Yuhao swaggered back to the top floor of the Star Luo Hotel under the watchful eyes of the Sun and Moon Team.
As expected, Huo Yuhao saw the delivery person who came to deliver goods to him at his doorstep.
The newcomer was none other than an old acquaintance, Tian Sha Douluo.
After opening the box and glancing inside, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction after Bingdi confirmed that it was indeed the genuine Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.
"Now that I've confirmed there are no problems with the goods, I'll take my leave..."
It has to be said that working with smart people is easy. When Xu Jiujiu learned that Huo Yuhao was staying at the hotel, he immediately realized that Huo Yuhao was waiting for them to fulfill their promise, so he quickly sent someone to deliver the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.
Knowing that Huo Yuhao didn't want to expose the relevant matters, they even dispatched a Title Douluo to secretly deliver the goods.
After resolving the matter, Huo Yuhao finally sat back on the bed and began to cultivate cross-legged.
The seal set up by Tianmeng loosened slightly, and the pure source flowed into Huo Yuhao's two spirit rings. As the age of the spirit rings increased, Huo Yuhao felt his body gradually tightening under the pressure of the spirit rings.

With a soft sound, Huo Yuhao officially stepped into level twenty-nine, just one step away from level thirty.
A vortex of soul power gathered around Huo Yuhao. Taking advantage of the soul power tank caused by breaking through the cultivation barrier, Huo Yuhao also took the opportunity to solidify his soul power, creating the illusion that he was in seclusion.
There's no other reason than to delay things by a day, so that the day of return is the same as in the original story.
