As soon as Huo Yuhao resumed his cultivation, he was startled. After absorbing Soul Power and circulating it throughout his body, the speed was almost one-tenth faster than before. Furthermore, the Soul Power wasted due to blocked meridians had also decreased by one-tenth.
Although his meridians were still fragile and blocked, this change proved one thing to him: with Lan Mei's second Soul Skill, he could definitely continuously widen and strengthen his own meridians.
The Mysterious Water Pill from the Mysterious Nether Sect was worth a fortune, which he couldn't afford. However, with Lan Mei's second Soul Skill, as long as he worked hard and performed well in his daily life at the Roast House, he could definitely obtain one.
One Sun-Grown Blueberry couldn't compare to a Mysterious Water Pill, but what about a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao became increasingly excited. His mind also sank into silence as he meditated.
Meanwhile, in her own boudoir, Lan Mei, who was already asleep, suddenly trembled and sat up with a jolt. Her eyes were filled with panic as she looked around. Upon seeing the moonlight spilling across the desk, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had just dreamt that she was captured and locked in a small, dark room, forced to constantly use her second Soul Skill.
She was completely drained.
Ugh!
That was terrifying.
When the first ray of sunshine filled the room, everything seemed a little warmer.
Outside the Roast House, the streets weren't as crowded as yesterday, but many elderly people were out in groups, enjoying their retirement.
Unknown birds flitted through the trees lining the street, feeding their chirping chicks in their nests.
"Knock, knock!" Lan Mei's voice came from the door. "Xiao Yuhao, the sun's already up! Time to get up."
Hearing the voice, Huo Yuhao also woke up from his meditation.
He opened the door and saw Lan Mei standing there.
Lan Mei was wearing a tracksuit and looked very energetic. She said with a smile, "Breakfast is ready. Wash up quickly and come down. I'll take you to the Market today to prepare for the dishes we're serving the guests tonight."
"Coming right away." Huo Yuhao didn't delay and rushed to the bathroom.
Lan Mei hummed a little tune as she happily went to the kitchen.
Breakfast today was very rich, with meat, eggs, and milk, all readily available. But Lan Mei herself didn't eat much; most of it was consumed by Huo Yuhao.
In the end, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to wash the dishes; he couldn't just eat for free.
After everything was tidied up, the two officially set off for the market.
The morning sun was very comfortable, not hot. And the streets were also very clean, with a gentle breeze blowing and residents constantly moving around.
The clouds in the sky were pure white, drifting lazily, exceptionally leisurely. Coupled with the azure sky, it was quite captivating.
Occasionally, bus-type horse-drawn carriages passed by, their bells constantly ringing.
"Good morning, Aunt Li."
"Morning, Aunt Liu."
Following this wide avenue, Lan Mei greeted people constantly, looking like she knew everyone.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak the entire time, just followed behind Lan Mei.
He occasionally glanced to the sides. Actually, the daily life of Shrek City was never mentioned in the original novel. Seeing it today, Huo Yuhao felt a bit of emotion.
People coming and going at breakfast shops, the water vapor rising from the steaming baskets, children chasing each other downstairs, old people sitting under trees, discussing the situation on the Douluo Continent... This felt strange, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Lan Mei walked ahead with her hands behind her back, leading Huo Yuhao through streets and alleys, witnessing countless scenes, passing through a corridor that was more than ten meters above the ground.
When they reached the corridor, Huo Yuhao paused, taking advantage of the height to see far into the distance.
Golden light shone on the layered rooftops of the buildings, many of which had green plants growing on them, adding a touch of vitality. In the lowest-lying area, there was a wide river that seemed to run through Shrek City, with sparkling water and many boats slowly moving forward.
Ripples continuously spread across the river's surface.
Although Shrek City was built on a flat plain, its location was actually chosen on the edge of an area with water and diverse terrain.
"Let's go." Lan Mei waited for Huo Yuhao for more than ten seconds before calling out.
Huo Yuhao retracted his gaze and smiled, following Lan Mei's steps.
They crossed a bridge over the river and watched huge cruise ships sail by. Finally, the two arrived in another area with buildings. There were even more people here, and the noise was deafening. There were many shops on the street, especially breakfast shops.
Huo Yuhao quickly spotted a sign in the most crowded place, which clearly read "Market."
The entrance to the Market was large, much like the gates of some universities on Earth. A large number of people were constantly entering and exiting, all carrying large bags and packages.
"The Market here is generally called the Ordinary Market," Lan Mei explained to Huo Yuhao as they walked.
Ordinary Market?
Do these things even have ordinary, intermediate, and advanced levels?
Huo Yuhao was puzzled.
Soon, Lan Mei provided an explanation for Huo Yuhao.
"In our Shrek City, there are many Ordinary Markets, mainly selling ordinary ingredients. In a place called the Soul Power Market, everything sold is related to Soul Power ingredients. Some Soul Beast meat can only be bought there, but the price is much higher. Of course, the nutrition is definitely far superior to ordinary ingredients."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.
The appearance of this Ordinary Market was similar to some super-large markets on Earth. Each area had signs, telling people what was being sold there.
At the same time, the environment here was also very comfortable, without a single messy spot.
And there were uniformed management personnel patrolling at any time to avoid any incidents.
One thing worth praising was the meat stalls. They didn't use those scary red fresh meat lamps. You could perfectly see the quality of the meat you were buying.
Huo Yuhao had suffered from those fresh meat lamps in his previous life. Thinking about it was just a flood of tears.
Lan Mei was clearly a master negotiator in the market. Except for some ingredients with fixed prices, she haggled over everything she could.
Under the speechless and terrified gazes of the vendors, Lan Mei collected everything into her storage.
She gave Huo Yuhao a vivid lesson.
Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.
Lan Mei had a Storage Ring Soul Tool. After she bought things, she just tossed them in, making it incredibly easy.
Compared to the other people buying ingredients, it was a world of difference.
Lan Mei clearly had a detailed shopping plan prepared in advance. Following her list, the two of them made their purchases, and everything went rather smoothly.
After buying all the ingredients, an hour had passed. Only when the space inside the Storage Ring Soul Tool was filled did Lan Mei stop her relentless bargaining, and she prepared to head back with Huo Yuhao.
This time, Lan Mei splurged a bit. They hailed a carriage on the road, and the two of them rode the public carriage home.
Writing some everyday life…
