"Huo Yuhao, what did Mo Lihai tell you?"
After Mo Lihai and his group left, Ling Luochen suddenly turned his gaze towards Huo Yuhao and inquired.
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and immediately disclosed every word exchanged between him and Mo Lihai.
Upon hearing the term "Ice God Inheritor," the faces of those from Shrek Academy displayed an inexplicable sense of shock.
Among them, only Ling Luoqian's eyes revealed an immensely profound light.
As a member of the Ling family, she naturally knew the origin of the Tianshui Sect. When Mo Lihai appeared in the lounge, she already sensed that something was amiss.
Now, upon hearing that Mo Lihai came for the Ice God Inheritor, she immediately understood the secret agenda behind the Tianshui Sect's presence.
"Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly be the Ice God Inheritor. If anyone is, it's most likely Shui Wuyā!" Ling Luochen's thoughts churned. With the appearance of the Tianshui Sect, it seemed highly probable that the Ice God Inheritor had emerged. In her view, Shui Wuyā was the most likely candidate.
In fact, if it weren't for the academy's requirement, she wouldn't even want to participate in this competition. Isn't finding Shui Wuyā more important than the Soul Master Tournament?
Ling Luochen immediately decided to inform the family of this news!
After the Tianshui Sect left the lounge, they departed from the arena.
"Master, could Huo Yuhao be the Ice God Inheritor?" A white-clad woman beside Mo Lihai suddenly asked.
"It should be him, but Huo Yuhao is extremely cautious and won't easily admit it. Fortunately, the Holy Maiden remains in Shrek Academy; we will uncover the truth sooner or later." Although Mo Lihai's expression remained calm, inwardly he felt extremely gratified.
...
In the Extreme North Sea, Sunset City.
Several hours ago, after swallowing the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Grass, Shui Wuyā's spiritual power increased by nearly twenty percent after absorption.
At this moment, Shui Wuyā, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with closed eyes, had a seven-colored flower bud shimmering above his brow.
"Ah, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Grass is indeed remarkable. It has boosted my spiritual power by a full twenty percent!"
Shortly after, Shui Wuyā slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a turbid breath.
The seven-colored flower bud hovering above Shui Wuyā's brow appeared in his palm as he extended his hand.
Inspecting the seven-colored flower bud, Shui Wuyā felt quite satisfied. This was the embryonic form of the Spirit Flower! Once it blossomed, his spiritual power cultivation would reach perfection.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Shui Wuyā tidied up and left the inn with Han Feng.
It was his first time visiting Sunset City.
However, as everyone knew, Sunset City attracted crowds from various empires, making it the best place to gather information.
"Extra! Extra! The Ninth Soul Device Tournament of Sunset City has officially begun. Registration now requires only five Gold Soul Coins!"
"Sir, are you interested in participating in the Ninth Soul Device Tournament of Sunset City? Registration now offers a ten percent discount, and you also have the chance to participate in the free three-day tour lottery activity of the Star Empire!"
...
Despite the biting cold wind, the streets of Sunset City were bustling with people, and there was a cacophony of various shouts and calls.
Walking on the street, Shui Wuyā noticed the ongoing promotion for the Ninth Soul Device Tournament of Sunset City.
At that moment, a child holding promotional flyers approached Shui Wuyā.
"Hello, sir. Are you interested in participating in this Soul Device Tournament? The rewards are extremely generous."
As the child spoke, he stuffed a flyer into Shui Wuyā's hand.
Shui Wuyā instinctively wanted to discard it, but then his peripheral vision caught sight of the various rewards listed on the flyer.
One reward, in particular, caught Shui Wuyā's attention - a Champion Reward called "Advanced Spiritual Power Potion," which was especially enticing. After all, what he lacked the most at the moment was something to enhance his spiritual power!
[Champion Reward: Advanced Spiritual Power Potion, produced by Bright Mirror Pavilion, capable of enhancing Soul Masters' spiritual power.]
"Han Feng, go register."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Shui Wuyā immediately decided to send Han Feng to register.
With Han Feng being an eighth-level Soul Device Master, winning this competition would be a piece of cake for him.
"Understood, young master," Han Feng replied promptly.
Unlike the Douluo Continent, perhaps this potion would bring him insights that the Shui family hadn't encountered before.
Three days later...
"Young master, here is the spiritual potion." Han Feng returned to the inn holding the champion prize from the Ninth Soul Device Tournament of Sunset City.
Shui Wuyā took the potion from Han Feng, inspected its color, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Shui Wuyā felt as if a burst of cotton exploded inside him, and his spiritual power began to increase slowly.
After several dozen breaths, Shui Wuyā's overall spiritual power increased by less than one ten-thousandth.
Undoubtedly, compared to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Grass, this spiritual potion fell short by a long shot. However, it was still effective.
"If I could obtain the formula for this spiritual potion and produce it in large quantities, it might significantly boost spiritual power growth," Shui Wuyā mused inwardly.
However, this spiritual potion originated from the Bright Mirror Pavilion of the Sun Moon Empire, and the formula was probably held by the imperial family.
With his current strength, obtaining the formula from the imperial family would be extremely difficult, and even if he managed it, the cost would be unimaginable.
"Spirit Wind Grass, Mandragora, Purple Sandalwood..." Shui Wuyā carefully savored the remnants of the potion and unconsciously analyzed the ingredients of many potions.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Shui Wuyā's mind! He could simply give the incomplete formula he had analyzed to Shui Bing'er!
"Ancestor, are you there?"
With a thought, Shui Wuyā immediately contacted Shui Bing'er.
However, when he saw the environment where Shui Bing'er was, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er held a blood-red longsword, which was thrust into the head of a fallen Soul Master! The fallen Soul Master's face was full of fear, devoid of breath, with only residual blood dripping from his neck.
"Oh, it's Wuyā."
Shui Bing'er retracted the longsword, and the fierce look in her eyes vanished instantly.
"Ancestor, I have an incomplete potion formula to give you. If you can research the complete formula, the potion produced can enhance a Soul Master's spiritual power."
Shui Wuyā's voice sounded somewhat helpless, making it truly silent for a girl like Shui Bing'er to experience the bloodshed and cruelty of the City of Slaughter.
"Alright, Wuyā, I'll make a note of this."
Shui Bing'er couldn't see Shui Wuyā at the moment, but she still showed a gentle smile on her face.
"Ancestor, please take care."
Shui Wuyā's voice hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he wrote down the incomplete formula he had analyzed on a piece of paper and handed it to Shui Bing'er from ten thousand years ago.
[Shui Bing'er's destiny changes. You obtain the method to refine the semi-mystical medicine — Holy Spirit Divine Water.]
