Douluo Dalu: Beginning with the Flame Emperor Template

**Chapter 26: Heaven Dou City, Jiang Nannan**

Huo Yuhao glanced at the three options, quickly analyzed the tasks and rewards, and directly chose Option Three.

He remembered that in Doupo, medicine cauldrons were divided into different levels. The more fire holes a cauldron had, the higher its level.

The two-mouthed cauldron was considered a low-level medicine cauldron. Xiao Yan used this type of cauldron in his early days. Similarly, for Huo Yuhao, it was sufficient to be able to use it. The requirements were not high. After all, the level of the elixir he wanted to refine was only second-grade.

Huo Yuhao contemplated: "Xiao Xiao, can I try to refine medicine through your Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial soul?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and agreed, "Sure, but you have to take care of the barbecue for Wang Dong and me."

"No problem." Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

After that, Huo Yuhao sold skewers for a while, feeling that he had replenished enough funds to go to the Far North.

He stopped selling and packed up the remaining skewers. "Is this enough for you?"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao leaned forward slightly to look at the quantity. They both nodded with satisfaction, "Ha, enough."

After Huo Yuhao closed his stall, he found a soul master hotel in Shrek City. Compared to ordinary hotels, it was a bit larger and more luxuriously decorated.

Huo Yuhao and the others entered the hotel room, and Xiao Xiao released her martial soul, the San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

"Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, assemble," Xiao Xiao shouted softly. Three small cauldrons merged into one taller and wider cauldron.

"Huo Yuhao, feel free to use it. My Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron has high defense when the three cauldrons are combined. Its resistance is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary metal."

"I'm going to eat skewers." Xiao Xiao clapped her hands happily, then ran to sit at the mahogany round table with Wang Dong and started eating skewers.

Huo Yuhao took out all the medicinal herbs and released the purple fire.

For his first time refining medicine, he decided to use purple fire first. The aura of purple fire was not as strong as that of strange fire and was considered the normal aura of soul masters in the soul master hotel. After all, the medicine he was refining was only a second-grade pill.

Wang Dong saw the purple flames coming out of Huo Yuhao's palm and asked curiously, "Huo Yuhao, is this purple flame your martial soul?"

"I guess so. It's a special ability that comes with the martial soul," Huo Yuhao thought to himself as he concocted an excuse.

"Oh," Wang Dong nodded as if he understood and continued eating skewers with Xiao Xiao.

Huo Yuhao recalled the principles of alchemy that he had learned last night.

In principle, it required fire and wood attributes as catalysts, but he possessed the Seal of Life formed by the Gold of Life, which had more life breath than the wood attribute.

Electrolux's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Yuhao, when you refine the pill later, you will mainly be responsible for controlling the temperature and adding the medicinal materials."

"While you are refining the pill, I will infuse a trace of the breath of the Seal of Life, which can increase the success rate."

"Okay, Master Yi." Huo Yuhao nodded in response.

He planned to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill, which was more practical. According to the principle of refining it, he distributed the medicinal materials in proportion to prevent adding too much or too little during the process.

As the medicinal materials were thrown into the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, purple fire blazed inside, marking the start of Huo Yuhao's collaboration with Electrolux in their first alchemy session.

After a few hours, a faint fragrance wafted out.

Under the precise control of Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul, his first attempt at refining medicine with Electrolux was unexpectedly successful.

Huo Yuhao retracted the purple fire with a thought, and through the traction of his soul power, seven light-green pills flew out of the cauldron.

—

[The optional task has been completed. Reward: medicine cauldron.]

—

The next second, a cauldron with two fire holes appeared in the ring.

Xiao Xiao paused while eating her skewers. "Did it work?"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded and handed over four light-green pills that rested in his palm.

"These four pills are for you. They are called Soul-Restoring Pills. They can restore your soul power after you take them."

"Oh, thank you." Xiao Xiao did not refuse and accepted the four pills.

Wang Dong's eyes lit up. "Xiao Xiao, I've taken you flying a hundred times; it's time for you to do something for me."

"What, what?" Xiao Xiao's cheeks flushed, thinking that Wang Dong intended to use this as an excuse to take advantage of her.

"We'll split these four pills in half."

Wang Dong's straightforward words made Xiao Xiao angry, and she pouted, "I'll think about it!"

"I'll bring you breakfast for a week; does that work, Xiao Xiao?"

"Deal!"

After that, Huo Yuhao bid farewell to the two. Wang Dong couldn't help but ask, "Huo Yuhao, will you continue to set up the barbecue stall tomorrow?"

"Probably not," Huo Yuhao responded. The funds consumed by buying medicinal materials had been replenished, so Shrek City had afforded him a flourishing opportunity; they would see each other again.

He decided to set off that night; their destination was the Far North.

The Far North is located on the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. A relatively better route is to pass through the Heavenly Soul Empire.

A few days later, outside Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a caravan's freight carriage was parked on the road outside the city.

"Brother Huo, we're here." Huo Yuhao heard the voice, jumped off the carriage, paid the fare, and prepared to walk toward the city gate.

At this time, from an inconspicuous freight carriage at the back, a girl with long orange hair and a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance but a sickly pale face slowly emerged from amidst the piled goods.

Huo Yuhao didn't care at first, but the weak words from the beautiful woman made him suddenly stop.

"Nannan, why don't you just forget it? I've been seeing doctors in the last city for several months, but the symptoms still haven't improved... Mom doesn't want to burden you."

The girl's eyes were moist, and her orange hair was messy, stuck to her forehead and cheeks because of her tears. "Mom, I will definitely cure your illness, definitely..."

A hint of determination flashed across her deep eyes. If Heaven Dou City couldn't cure her mother, the people of the Xuanming Sect had revealed some information to her, either intentionally or unintentionally...

(PS: Xu Sanshi's coming-of-age ceremony was at fifteen, and the reserve team for the first soul master competition required no more than fifteen years of age. Based on this time, I'll write it as the period before and after the start of a semester.)

...

On the path beside Sea God Lake at Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Ya, I have already told the school teacher (Xuan Zi & Mu En) about getting you a vitality attribute soul ring."

Bei Bei and Tang Ya walked side by side, discussing where to get a soul ring for Tang Ya.
