Chapter 65: The Journey Begins Again!
Xiao Yan's voice rang out, but no one was to be seen. Little Fairy Doctor straightened up and looked around, trying to find where he was hiding.
"He's definitely not here." Huo Yuhao pulled a pendant from his collar, and Xiao Yan's voice came from the pendant.
Little Fairy Doctor leaned closer, staring intently at the pendant, then raised her right hand and carefully poked it with her finger.
"So you finally couldn't resist and made a move against Xiao Yan?"
"What do you mean by attacking me? This is a cell phone, don't you understand?!" Xiao Yan's voice rang out in front of Little Fairy Doctor, startling her so much that she quickly leaned her head back.
"This is something I developed with my teacher over the past few days; it can be used for communication."
"Xian'er, can you guess what this pendant is made of?" Huo Yuhao untied the rope and placed the pendant in Xiao Yixian's hand.
"This... doesn't look like metal, it should be a stone." Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her eyes, her voice somewhat uncertain.
"Yes, that's right, it's a stone." Huo Yuhao nodded: "To be precise, it's the stone that was cut open."
"The one with the spirit-gathering ability?" Little Fairy Doctor returned the pendant to Huo Yuhao.
"Yes, most of the spatial power contained in that spirit-gathering pendant was lost back then." Huo Yuhao shook his finger, swung the pendant around his chest twice, and tied it back around his neck. "But perhaps because it was always kept together, some of its spatial power was unexpectedly retained. And the two halves of spatial power can resonate with each other."
"So my teacher and I spent about half a day researching and creating this communication device. By using mental power to activate the power of space, we can transmit our voices to the other side."
"Why are you two ignoring me? Where are you now?" Xiao Yan's voice kept chattering.
"What if you don't want to listen?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.
"Just use your mental energy to envelop it and calm the fluctuations in spatial energy." Huo Yuhao hung up Xiao Yan's phone.
On the other side, discovering that the other side had blocked spatial fluctuations, Xiao Yan put down the pendant and began to complain:
"Damn, he values women more than friends!"
Yao Chen, who was standing next to him, rubbed his temples, feeling a real headache.
"Take off that lousy armor of yours right now."
"No, Master, this outfit is so cool!" At this moment, Xiao Yan was wearing a complete set of red and white armor, which covered his entire body completely, even his eyes were covered by a blue crystal.
"I've decided to call it the Fiery Dragon Armor. Master, from now on, please call me Fiery Dragon Warrior!"
With a crisp "duang!", white smoke billowed from Yao Chen's fist, and Xiao Yan and his armor collapsed to the ground.
"You're here for training, what kind of nonsense is it to wear a full set of fourth-grade spiritual weapon armor!"
"Oh, okay." Xiao Yan got up, his voice a little disappointed. He pressed the yellow button on his chest, and the entire suit of armor transformed into streaks of light and flew back into a storage ring hanging on his chest.
"Now I have three pendants hanging around my neck, jingling as I walk. People who don't know me might think I'm a beggar." With that, Xiao Yan put away his communication artifact and storage ring, leaving only the Ancient Bone Flame Ring around his neck.
……
Three days later, the Canaan Academy's flying monster caravan stopped in a city in the northern part of the Gama Empire.
In each of the train carriages, Instructor Ruolin emphasized:
"We'll only be here for half a day, waiting for the last batch of new students to arrive. Students can come down and move around a bit, but don't go too far."
"Yes, Instructor Ruolin!"
Huo Yuhao took Little Fairy Doctor's hand and jumped off the carriage, finding Instructor Ruolin.
"Mentor, we'd like to ask for a leave of absence." Huo Yuhao scratched his head, his voice a little embarrassed.
"What did you say?!"
Huo Yuhao never expected that his mentor, Ruolin, such a gentle person, could produce such a sharp voice. Her whole being exuded a kind of primal aura.
"I'm not asking for leave, I'm just going out to buy some things, I'll be back in a little while." Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly lost a lot of confidence.
"No way! I already emphasized that you're not allowed to go too far!" Hearing that it wasn't her last two ducks that were going to fly away, Instructor Ruolin patted her chest and replied irritably.
"Master, please!" Little Fairy Doctor looked at her with starry eyes, standing in front of Master Ruolin and waving her sleeve.
"This..." Instructor Ruolin was a little embarrassed. She looked at the Little Fairy Doctor who was almost hanging on her, and then at Huo Yuhao who gave her a weak feeling.
"Wait for me a moment."
When Instructor Ruolin turned around, Huo Yuhao dropped his feigned expression. He quietly watched Instructor Ruolin walk towards the front of the convoy, and gave Xiao Yixian a thumbs up.
After informing the elders responsible for piloting the flying magical beasts, Ruolin returned to Huo Yuhao and Little Fairy Doctor's side, regaining her gentle and graceful demeanor.
"Your mentor will go with you."
"what?"
"What do you mean, 'ah'? Either go back to your seat and sit properly, or come with me!" Her gentle demeanor crumbled in an instant.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of his mentor, Huo Yuhao's mind raced, and another idea came to mind.
"Master, let me buy you some jewelry!" Little Fairy Doctor pulled Master Ruolin's hand and pointed to a shop.
"Need not."
"Teacher, shall we go buy some clothes?"
"Students must wear school uniforms at the college."
"tutor……"
Along the way, Little Fairy Doctor kept talking to Instructor Ruolin, not giving her a chance to rest at all.
Instructor Ruolin replied casually, glancing at Huo Yuhao occasionally.
"Why has this kid been so quiet the whole way?"
……
After splitting his mind into two parts, Huo Yuhao found a quiet corner.
"Senior Ling Ying?"
"What is it?" A flash of dark light appeared, and Ling Ying appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Please take me to the auction house in this city, senior." Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully.
"Okay." Without asking any further questions, Ling Ying picked up Huo Yuhao and left.
The surrounding scenery blurred for a moment, and then Huo Yuhao appeared at the entrance of the Mittel Auction House.
"Uh, it's this auction house again!" Huo Yuhao looked up to confirm the sign and strode into the auction house.
"Hello! Are you planning to participate in the auction or appraise the treasure?" The receptionist greeted us warmly.
"I want to sell a few weapons." Huo Yuhao was in a simulated state, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.
"This way, please."
Inside the room, an auctioneer was examining the weapon in his hands, tapping and striking it repeatedly, listening intently to its echo.
"You can try injecting your battle qi," Huo Yuhao suggested.
After conducting tests to determine the weapon's sharpness and sturdiness, the auctioneer smiled at Huo Yuhao and said:
"Distinguished guest, your weapon can be auctioned with a starting price of eight thousand gold coins, and the final price is expected to be around fifteen thousand. Would you like to participate in the auction?"
"Do you Mittel buy them?" Huo Yuhao had no intention of auctioning them.
"If you want to sell it directly to our Mittel Auction House, we are willing to buy it for twelve thousand." The auctioneer rubbed his hands together and showed a professional smile.
"What about the hundred items?" Huo Yuhao handed over a storage ring.
Since obtaining the Ice Flame that originated from the Nine Heavenly Flames, Huo Yuhao's weapon-refining speed has increased significantly. He has even reached the level of refining fourth-grade spiritual weapons.
During the seven days he waited for Canaan Academy, Huo Yuhao forged a large number of standard weapons to test the abilities of the "Nine Separation Ice Flame," using up eight or nine tenths of his stockpile of refined steel. Because he did not use spirit metal or spirit-enhancing techniques, these weapons were only inscribed with the spirit runes of sturdiness and sharpness, and could not be considered spirit weapons.
"So many?" The auctioneer took the ring, examined it briefly, and looked surprised. "With so many, it'll be difficult to offer 12,000 gold coins..."
"How about 10,000 gold coins per item?" Not wanting to waste time haggling, Huo Yuhao directly gave his expected price.
"Okay." He wanted to try to lower the price further, but when the auctioneer saw Huo Yuhao's eyes, he somehow agreed immediately.
