Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Nine Million Gold Soul Coins, Visiting the Treasure Gathering Pavilion
Walking out of the Beast Dueling Arena, Yuwentuo approached Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin. "You two, isn't it time to fulfill the terms of the bet?"
Among their three groups, Huo Yuhao's group and Dai Huabin's group both had 345 points, while Yuwentuo's group had 350 points. Although it was only 5 points higher, even 1 point higher was still higher. He was undoubtedly the winner.
"A bet's a bet, take it!" Wang Dong was relatively composed and directly flicked the gold soul coin card into Yuwentuo's hand.
"Many thanks!" Yuwentuo caught it between two fingers and then looked at Dai Huabin. "And yours? Young Master Dai wouldn't renege on a debt, would he?"
"Hmph, here!" Dai Huabin also unwillingly threw out his gold soul coin card, then left with a dark expression.
As for the bet between himself and Huo Yuhao, since the two groups had equal scores, naturally neither had to kowtow to the other.
This also unintentionally prevented an assassination attempt.
Since Dai Huabin didn't kowtow to Huo Yuhao, he wouldn't inexplicably hire assassins to attack him. And although Yuwentuo won three million gold soul coins from him, things like gold soul coins were just a string of numbers in Dai Huabin's eyes; he wouldn't try to kill Yuwentuo over such a trivial matter.
"Huo Yuhao, come with me. I have something to discuss with you!" At this moment, Yan Shaozhe walked over with his hands behind his back.
He wasn't here to interfere with the gambling; anyway, it was just money being wagered, unimportant. His purpose here was solely for Huo Yuhao himself.
"Yes, Dean. Wang Dong, you head back first. I'll come find you later," Huo Yuhao instructed Wang Dong, then left with Yan Shaozhe.
Yuwentuo guessed that this Yan Shaozhe probably regretted sending Huo Yuhao to the Soul Tool Department.
After all, Huo Yuhao had now shown his potential: twin martial souls plus an ultimate martial soul. Such a configuration was a once-in-a-millennium sight, already surpassing his prized disciple Ma Xiaotao, and Yuwentuo, who was currently riding high in the academy.
In Yan Shaozhe's view, although Yuwentuo was temporarily ahead, his pure fire martial soul still had the possibility of being corrupted in the future. Taking a step back, even if it wasn't corrupted, could it really evolve into the Ultimate Fire?
And even if it did evolve into the Ultimate Fire, that would only put him on par with Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice. Could it compare to the twin martial soul configuration that complemented his original Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eyes?
Moreover, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had now been completely resolved; in reality, Yuwentuo no longer held much value to him.
Killing Yuwentuo wasn't likely. Firstly, both Mu En and Yan Shaozhe had a somewhat sanctimonious nature; on the surface, they weren't great villains. They already felt guilty towards Yuwentuo and wouldn't easily kill him.
Secondly, they still needed to confirm that Ma Xiaotao's evil fire showed no signs of relapse in the next six months before they could be completely at ease. Before then, Yuwentuo still had a tiny bit of utilization value left.
What Yan Shaozhe was thinking now was to follow Elder Mu's previous instructions: let him study in the outer courtyard for a few years. In the future, if he proactively joined the inner courtyard, then he would be given another chance and properly cultivated.
Otherwise, just let him return to that room to accompany Ma Xiaotao.
Anyway, Ma Xiaotao cared a lot about him; this could be considered fulfilling his disciple's romantic destiny.
Right now, the most important thing was Huo Yuhao. He absolutely had to get this peerless genius with twin martial souls and an ultimate martial soul back into his Martial Soul Department.
Yuwentuo couldn't be bothered with Huo Yuhao's affairs. He was currently settling accounts with Xiao Xiao.
"This one is three million one hundred thousand, these two are both three million, totaling nine million one hundred thousand gold soul coins. I'm a super-rich woman now!" Xiao Xiao's eyes were currently filled with little stars.
Ever since she got together with Yuwentuo, she realized that making money could be so easy.
Yuwentuo, however, shook his head. "Actually, we're still very far from the word 'rich'."
He still remembered that at the subsequent auction of the Snow Empress embryo in the Star Luo Empire, that spirit beast embryo had been bid up to a full one hundred and fifty million gold soul coins.
His nine million wouldn't even make a splash there.
"But for now, it's barely enough. Let's go, Xiao Xiao. Tonight, we'll go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and convert this money into strength!"
For Spirit Masters, the reason money was valuable was because it could buy good things that increased strength. Otherwise, if it was just for three meals a day, then four or five gold soul coins a month would be a very comfortable life.
"But today isn't the day of the Treasure Appraisal Fair; that's the day after tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better for us to go then?" Xiao Xiao suggested.
"Indeed, very precious treasures will definitely appear on that day. However, the items appearing that day might empty our hands with just one piece," Yuwentuo said. "My goal today is just regular treasures."
Treasures appearing at the Treasure Appraisal Fair, like the Golden Earth Dragon spirit bone, were indeed good items. But for Yuwentuo, if it wasn't a hundred-thousand-year one, it wasn't what he wanted.
For Xiao Xiao, a light-attribute item might not necessarily suit her.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion also displayed many treasures on normal days; they just needed to seize the opportunity to make some purchases.
"Alright, then let's go, Tuotuo!" Xiao Xiao grabbed Yuwentuo's hand and ran outside.
Cao Jinxuan had originally wanted to pester his master for guidance again, but seeing the two running out hand-in-hand, he smiled and called out, "Master, I'll head back to rest then.
See you tomorrow. You and Mistress have a good date!"
This fellow's strength wasn't much, but his emotional intelligence was high. At a time like this, he definitely wouldn't be a third wheel.
Following the map, the two of them walked to the center of Shrek City. The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was a famous place in the city and wasn't hard to find. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they saw where the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was located.
This Treasure Gathering Pavilion was like a large shop, dealing in various items related to Spirit Masters.
Before they even reached the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, a young lady from the doorway had already come out to greet them. With a faint smile, she said respectfully, "Welcome, esteemed Spirit Masters, to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?"
Yuwentuo and Xiao Xiao were both wearing Shrek Academy uniforms, so they were not difficult to recognize.
"Hello, Xiao Xiao and I are both Soul Elders. I was wondering if the Treasure Gathering Pavilion currently has any treasures suitable for us. Could we have a shopping guide to help introduce them?" Yuwentuo said.
The young lady was slightly surprised because Yuwentuo and Xiao Xiao both looked very young. For two people so young to already be Soul Elder level experts, they seemed to be core disciples of Shrek Academy.
The behind-the-scenes boss of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was actually Lin Huiqun, one of the Sea God's Pavilion's old guards.
Therefore, Shrek core disciples always received somewhat preferential treatment here, such as a certain credit limit for purchases on account, and discounts on some goods.
"Certainly, esteemed Spirit Masters. Today is not a Treasure Appraisal Fair, so there aren't too many customers. If you two don't mind, how about I act as your guide and introduce our recently acquired treasures?"
