Chapter 52

He knew that something must have happened to him; otherwise, even half a year of cultivation wouldn’t have brought such a significant improvement.

Just as Huo Yuhao was filled with doubt, the dormitory door opened.

Wang Dong poked his head through the door crack, sniffing the air to confirm there was no strange odor in the room before casually walking in with his bedding. He threw the bedding onto the bed and said to Huo Yuhao, who was standing there, in a bad mood, “You’re lucky, getting a complete transformation, but you’ve made it impossible for me to come home. Humph. Breakfast is on you today.”

Huo Yuhao looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, “Wang Dong, what exactly happened? Why was I covered in dirt when I woke up, and why has my cultivation improved so much? It really feels like a complete transformation, just as you said.”

A simple golden bracelet on Wang Dong’s wrist flashed, and a round metal ball appeared in his hand. He tossed it to Huo Yuhao. “First, check how much your soul power has improved. This soul conductor can test soul power from level 10 to level 30. Just channel your soul power into it.”

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao agreed, grasped the metal ball, and slowly infused it with his soul power.

At first, the metal ball emitted a faint yellow glow, which gradually spread outward. A number appeared on the surface of the ball, initially fixed at eleven, then quickly jumped to twelve. The yellow glow continued to spread, and the number twelve began to tremble, but Huo Yuhao had already used his full strength and couldn’t make the number increase further.

Wang Dong also looked surprised. “No wonder it’s the Mystic Water Pill! In just one night, it boosted your soul power by nearly two levels. You’re now at the peak of level twelve, just one step away from level thirteen.”

Huo Yuhao’s eyes widened. “Are you serious? What is the Mystic Water Pill?”

Wang Dong snatched the soul conductor from Huo Yuhao’s hand and huffed, “This thing is very accurate. What would I gain by lying to you? Speaking of which, you should thank Senior Bei Bei. What’s your relationship with him? He just casually gave you a Mystic Water Pill worth a fortune. I suspect he might have picked up the wrong pill.”

Seeing Huo Yuhao’s puzzled look, Wang Dong explained, “The Mystic Water Pill is a very magical pill. It’s said to be unique to a water-attribute soul clan, but I don’t know which one specifically. The Mystic Water Pill is made using the essence blood of about a dozen water-attribute soul beasts and dozens of water-attribute plants, all carefully blended. Water has a cleansing effect, and the Mystic Water Pill not only greatly replenishes and boosts soul power but also has a very mild nature. Soul masters of any level can absorb its effects well. For soul masters below level twenty, it can boost their soul power by at least one level. But its most precious quality is its ability to cleanse and strengthen the body.”

“Usually, when we bathe, we wash away surface dirt, but the Mystic Water Pill cleanses the impurities inside our bodies. It is beneficial to anyone. For soul masters with exceptional talent, it mainly enhances and adds to their existing abilities. But for those with average talent, it’s like a lifeline. It removes internal impurities and nourishes the meridians. One Mystic Water Pill can at least boost the potential of an average soul master by one level of innate soul power. For example, if your innate soul power was only level one when your soul awakened, after taking a Mystic Water Pill, it would become level two. This is an enhancement of both talent and constitution.”

What Wang Dong didn’t know was that his analogy was spot on—Huo Yuhao’s innate soul power was indeed level one!

However, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the transformation after taking the Mystic Water Pill was far more than just a one-level boost in innate soul power. His cultivation speed had actually increased by nearly four times! Although he still couldn’t compare to geniuses like Wang Dong and Bei Bei, he was now on par with an average soul master, no longer struggling as much as before.

“Senior Brother...”

Huo Yuhao’s eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears. It was Senior Brother who gave him the Mystic Water Pill worth a fortune! This kindness was deeply etched in his heart.

Huo Yuhao’s luck was really good. Wang Dong’s introduction to the Mystic Water Pill was entirely accurate. Under normal circumstances, the Mystic Water Pill would indeed have the effects he described.

However, Huo Yuhao’s timing for taking the Mystic Water Pill was perfect. After a day of intense cultivation, his body had been pushed beyond its limits, as if he had completed a thorough warm-up before taking the pill. Additionally, his understanding of the Profound Heaven Art had already infused his meridians, keeping them in a nourished state.

Huo Yuhao was in a state of unconsciousness when he took the Mystic Water Pill, so he didn’t consciously control its effects. The pill’s effects spread evenly throughout his body, allowing him to fully absorb its nourishing benefits.

Another crucial point was that the Mystic Water Pill was a water-attribute pill, and the second soul ring given to Huo Yuhao by the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm was ice, a form of water. This made it easier for him to absorb the Mystic Water Pill.

As the Mystic Water Pill transformed his body, the first of the ten massive sources of power sealed within Huo Yuhao by the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm finally cracked, releasing a portion of its energy to combine with his body. Therefore, compared to the increase in his soul power, the boost to his mental power was even greater. This was why his mental perception expanded from thirty meters to forty meters.

In essence, this single Mystic Water Pill had comprehensively enhanced Huo Yuhao’s body, leading to such a significant transformation. It would greatly benefit his future cultivation. Even his Purple Extreme Demon Eye had evolved.

The Purple Extreme Demon Eye has four stages: Overview, Microview, Seed, and Vast. Huo Yuhao’s cultivation of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye with his Spirit Eyes was already highly efficient. The Mystic Water Pill’s enhancement triggered the release of the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm’s source power, which, during his previous cultivation of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, created a suction effect on the purple aura in the sky. This allowed Huo Yuhao’s Purple Extreme Demon Eye to leap directly from the Overview stage to the Microview stage. He was the fastest to achieve this in history, even surpassing the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San.

Huo Yuhao didn’t yet realize that the advancement of his Purple Extreme Demon Eye greatly enhanced his control over all mental attributes. When controlling soul skills, his soul power consumption would decrease significantly.

Seeing Huo Yuhao’s red, dazed eyes, Wang Dong patted his shoulder and said, “Let’s go, it’s time for breakfast. I’m having double today!”

Huo Yuhao smiled. “Sure, even four portions are fine.”

Wang Dong’s eyes widened. “You’re the pig.” As soon as the words were out, both of them burst into laughter, and the awkwardness from last night dissipated. At this innocent age, they still maintained their pure hearts.
