Chapter 7 The Great Money-Making Business
Huo Yuhao never expected this ability to be so outrageous. This gender-swapped Tianmeng in front of him completely outclassed the lazy, good-for-nothing from the original story! After listening to Tianmeng's explanation, Huo Yuhao had a bold plan: his revenge could begin by making Dai Huabin his puppet.
Brothers turning against each other, fathers and sons becoming enemies, and couples falling out of harmony—that seems like a good possibility.
No, no, that's against human ethics.
Huo Yuhao dared not think any further; he was afraid of tainting his mind. The reason he was thinking about such depraved things must be because he'd been infected by Tianmeng—it must be!
"Oh! Right! There's one more thing!"
Tianmeng almost forgot about her second martial soul!
"I've also given you a second ice-attribute martial soul, but for now you only have a physical form and no soul. Later, when you're about to obtain your second soul ring, let's go to the far north together and get revenge on my mortal enemy!" Tianmeng seemed to be thinking of a certain icy blue scorpion, and immediately gritted her teeth.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile when he saw this. It was quite funny that the former sycophant had turned into an enemy.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao dared to mock her, Tianmeng pounced on him again.
"Serves you right for laughing at me! Serves you right for laughing at me! You unreasonable brat! I'll bite you to death!"
"No! I'm sorry! It itches!"
After a period of playful banter, Huo Yuhao finally broke free from Tianmeng's embrace and awoke from the Sea of Spirit. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes to complete darkness; only a tiny crack in the closed ground emitted a faint glimmer of light.
He recalled the meaningful look on Tianmeng's face when he came out, and his vision blurred. So that's what she was waiting for!
Fortunately, he could still stand up with difficulty, so the space in the pit was relatively spacious, but it could only accommodate children as young as eight or nine. Those who were exceptionally tall and stood out from the crowd should not even think about leaving; it would be fine for them to lie here and make it their eternal home.
Huo Yuhao first released his mental probe to sense the situation within a 50-meter radius. It was already morning outside.
Tianmeng said that she had not stayed in her spiritual sea of consciousness for too long, which meant that it was now the morning of the second day.
After confirming that there was no danger around, Huo Yuhao wielded the White Tiger Dagger with his other hand and fiercely chiseled at the earthen wall diagonally above him, once, twice, three times.
The earthen wall suddenly made a loosening sound, and Huo Yuhao immediately took two steps back. The next moment, the earthen wall collapsed with a loud bang.
"Cough, cough, cough." The dust from the collapsed earthen wall made Huo Yuhao cough incessantly.
What annoyed Huo Yuhao even more was that the sunlight outside suddenly shone down, forcing him to adjust for a while.
Finally, the sunlight was no longer as uncomfortable as it had been at the beginning, and Huo Yuhao naturally climbed out of the pit. The wide view he hadn't seen in a long time improved his mood considerably, and recalling the gains he had made on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
He stretched and did a few gymnastic exercises to warm up before packing up his camping gear and preparing to leave.
To be fair, the cleanup work done before the dream was indeed quite good. After a night, apart from the carcass of the wind baboon that attracted a lot of mosquitoes and flies, there were no traces of any soul beasts passing by. His tent and sleeping bag were intact, which saved him some expenses.
Of course, these simple pieces of equipment are not expensive, but Huo Yuhao doesn't have a stable source of income yet, does he?
Every penny saved counts; children from poor families have to learn to be independent early!
Speaking of making money! Huo Yuhao suddenly had an idea.
"Tianmeng! Wake up! I have something to ask you! Do you know any medicinal herbs used for cultivation? Nothing too expensive, just the ordinary kind! I plan to sell them for money!"
Tianmeng rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned widely, and said reluctantly, "How long have I been sleeping? And you're disturbing my peaceful dreams? How are you going to compensate me for my beauty sleep, Lady Tianmeng?"
Hearing Tianmeng's incredibly irritating words, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an urge to bully the guy! However, with important business at hand, he had to suppress his thoughts for the time being.
"Human society uses money to exchange goods. How can I cultivate properly if I don't earn money? If I can't cultivate properly, how can Lord Tianmeng's great undertaking of ascending to godhood proceed smoothly? Only by earning money can I properly contribute to Lord Tianmeng!"
Tianmeng felt incredibly relieved upon hearing these words!
"Well said! Little Yuhao, I really appreciate your honest opinion! I'll occasionally give you some extra help!"
Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment. So flattery really works best? Oh well, speak human language to human beings, ghost language to ghosts, and even silkworm language to silkworms! It's an effective means of communication! As long as you achieve your goal to the greatest extent possible, you can be more flexible and not confrontational. Besides, this is talking to family, isn't it? Saying nice things is exactly what you should do, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shrugged and joked, "That day, Lady Tianmeng, could you help me see what medicinal herbs are available on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest that I can easily pick?"
Tianmeng didn't hesitate and immediately gave Huo Yuhao a plus-sized mental detection. Then she pointed to the due east direction and said, "One hundred meters due east, there is a shallow beach. There are several Cloud Mirror Flowers there. The stamens are light blue, the flowers are white with five petals, the sepals are dark green, and there are five leaves. The leaves are willow-leaf shaped."
"Its petals and stamens are rich in water elements, making it a common medicinal herb used to aid water or ice attribute soul masters in their cultivation. Many water or ice attribute soul beasts also feed on it. It's just that it's only about five years old."
"There are several crystal lotus plants on that shallow beach. Their stamens are pale yellow, their flowers have eight blue petals, and their sepals are dark green. Their medicinal effects are similar to the cloud mirror flower we just saw, but they also have the effect of invigorating qi. However, they are shorter-lived, only about four years old."
While listening to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's explanation, Huo Yuhao set off towards the east, afraid that if he was even a couple of steps later, the gold soul coins he had reserved would be snatched away.
Following the instructions of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao, like a locust swarm, harvested all the pre-ordered medicinal herbs and stored them in his soul tool. However, he still had some morals and didn't actually dig up all the roots and stems.
Although Huo Yuhao believed he still had some principles, the victimized beasts didn't think so. For some unknown reason, the ancestral habitats of countless soul beasts—including ten- or hundred-year-old blue trout, water-patterned cranes, burrowing armadillos, steel-backed turtles, and hellfire wolves—were completely looted by some damned human.
Huo Yuhao had no idea what these soul beasts were thinking; all he wanted to do was quickly exchange these medicinal herbs for money!
The golden Soul Coins and the silver Soul Coins are here!
