Chapter 54, A Helping Hand from Meng Hongchen
Is the soul valuable and has great potential?
Elder Wang is so old, he naturally sees things clearly.
This is practically a strategic resource.
Especially now that the number of spirit beasts is shrinking significantly.
Having a soul that can be unbound and used at any time is no less valuable to an empire than a level nine orbital missile.
However, the timeframe is only five thousand years.
After hesitating for a while, Elder Wang looked at the young Huo Yuhao, gritted his teeth, took out his Level 6 Soul Tool Knowledge Points, and said, "I agree. As for the Level 6 Soul Tool Master, I will have a teacher from the Sun Moon Royal Academy come later."
He believed that Huo Yuhao's future research would definitely not stop at five thousand years.
They also believed that their Sun Moon Empire could conquer the Soul Spirit.
Technology costs a lot to get started.
Very normal.
"Okay, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly when he got the goods.
When it comes to studying soul tools alone, how can we compare to the Sun Moon Empire?
Even later, the Three Kingdoms stole knowledge from the Sun and Moon Empire.
As for the Level 6 Soul Masters, it doesn't matter whether they come or not.
I'll just learn it on my own for now.
"Wait, I can stay." At this moment, Meng Hongchen suddenly stepped forward, staring at Huo Yuhao with no attempt to hide her gaze. "I am now a level 5 Soul Master, not far from level 6. I am more than qualified to be your teacher."
"No way!" Before Huo Yuhao could agree, Xiao Hongchen and Elder Wang were the first to refuse.
What a joke.
What is Meng Hongchen's identity?
If he were to stay here, Elder Wang felt that it would be a relief if he didn't get skinned alive by that old bastard Jing Hongchen when he returned.
As for Xiao Hongchen, it was because Chun Chun couldn't bear to see her younger sister being kidnapped by Huang Mao.
"Hmm?" Meng Hongchen glanced at the old man and the young man with a slightly fierce look and said, "Go back and tell my grandfather the truth. I believe he will agree."
"Ah, this..." Elder Wang wiped away the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, panicking.
What's gotten into this young lady now?
What if the Spirit Pagoda forcibly detains someone and refuses to give them up?
"Dream, don't joke around. Don't forget you're a Sun and Moon person." Xiao Hongchen panicked upon seeing this and tried to suppress him with righteousness.
"Do you even have a say in this house?" Meng Hongchen retorted without hesitation, taking small steps to Huo Yuhao's side, gently putting her arm around his, and asking with a grin, "Tower Master, are you perhaps not welcoming me?"
"How could that be?" Huo Yuhao did not refuse.
A free seed for a future title.
If he wanted to stay, why would he let him go?
Perhaps, by turning around, we can bring the entire Hongchen family along.
It's practically a sure-fire way to make money.
"You, you, you..." Xiao Hongchen was speechless upon seeing this scene, his whole body trembling.
Even though he knew his younger sister was attracted to good looks, he didn't expect her to be this obsessed with appearances.
They clung to each other as soon as they met.
Is it not enough that he is the most handsome man in the world, the number one genius?
"Tower Master, this..." Elder Wang was about to speak when Huo Yuhao waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Since you want to stay, that's fine too. You two are both prodigies. If you are willing to join my Spirit Transmission Tower, I will definitely guarantee your soul rings and soul bones later."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao threw out the tooth-shaped external soul bone.
"This is... a spirit possessing a bone!"
When Elder Wang saw the treasure clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
This is a treasure no less than 100,000 years old.
You can get something just by joining?
Elder Wang thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that it wouldn't be bad to let the two of them join the Spirit Pagoda.
First, this power was initially created.
It's not impossible for them to infiltrate the Sun and Moon Empire.
Secondly, having a titled Douluo stronger than Jing Hongchen is practically a worthwhile deal.
"Master, please give me some time." Elder Wang neither accepted nor refused.
He still needed to go back and ask Jing Hongchen for his opinion on this matter.
After all, these aren't their own granddaughter and grandson.
I can't make the decision.
"Alright, but you can leave him here for now." Huo Yuhao nodded, saying confidently, "Later, you can have Jing Hongchen come to see me personally."
"I understand, but I need to get the soul over there first."
Elder Wang nodded and said.
"Can!"
Immediately, Huo Yuhao handed a bead to Elder Wang.
This is where souls are stored.
It's also easy to carry.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Elder Wang glanced at Xiao Hongchen with a rather complicated expression, then turned and left without looking back.
What happened next was beyond his control.
It's most important to hurry back to the Sun Moon Empire.
At the round table meeting, only three people remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
Meng Hongchen, still clinging to Huo Yuhao, introduced herself with a grin: "My name is Meng Hongchen, level 40, martial soul Zhu Qingbing Toad."
"Yes, I will arrange a soul spirit for you later." Huo Yuhao was not surprised at all.
He was naturally aware of the martial spirits of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
They are all top-tier martial souls.
If one were to consume more immortal herbs to refine oneself, one would surely attain the appearance of a god.
Of course, that depends on the situation.
Huo Yuhao would naturally not give away the immortal herb casually.
We haven't even given it to our own people yet, how could we possibly hand it over as soon as we meet?
"Thank you, Tower Master." Meng Hongchen nodded like a chick pecking at rice, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Will Xiao and I stay here with you from now on?"
"Yes, there are nine floors of rooms here, and you can stay anywhere even if there's no name on the room," Huo Yuhao said, pointing to a closed room not far away.
On the tenth floor, currently only he and Xue Di are present.
Even Su Tong, who has been with us for so long, hasn't moved in, so naturally we can't let these two move in either.
As the tower master, one must uphold justice and enforce the law impartially.
Otherwise, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among those below.
Although it's a small matter, it can easily lose people's support, so things should be handled slowly.
These are all things that need to be taken into consideration.
"Tower Master, does joining mean we'll get external soul bones?" At this moment, Xiao Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat complicated expression.
I don't know what my sister sees in him.
However, if joining the Spirit Pagoda would grant you the external soul bone on the table, it would still be worth considering.
"good."
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll join." Before Xiao Hongchen could speak, Meng Hongchen spoke first.
They truly exemplified what it means for appearance to be everything.
One's values should follow one's worldview.
Completely disregarding everything else, she was solely attracted to Huo Yuhao's face.
"Then... I'll join too." Xiao Hongchen hesitated for a moment, but still chose to join.
Anyway, it's a force that possesses titled Douluo.
You won't lose out by joining.
"Alright, this external soul bone is yours, but the other one will take some time."
He will definitely acquire a large number of soul spirits afterward, and then he should be able to easily obtain soul bones as well.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that the 50,000-year soul bone he had promised to Su Tong was still nowhere to be found.
"It seems I can address his own martial soul issue first," Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
After all, Xue Di's gaze towards her had been rather strange before.
Clearly, they must be someone who knew the truth.
"You can go to the ninth floor to find Su Tong later. She will help you with your accommodation and soul selection." Huo Yuhao gave a brief instruction and then left.
He was going to find Xue Di.
……
"Hey, take this external soul bone."
Seeing Huo Yuhao leave, Meng Hongchen handed the external soul bone of the tooth to Xiao Hongchen with some disdain.
These teeth clearly belong to a shark-type soul beast.
It's really not very suitable for girls.
"Okay." Xiao Hongchen hesitated for a moment, but then accepted.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with my teeth.
Even a grown man has teeth that aren't perfectly normal, right?
An external soul attached to a bone can grow for up to 100,000 years.
That's enough to offset everything.
"Then you can absorb it here. I'll go to the ninth floor to find this so-called Su Tong." Meng Hongchen gently patted him, then turned and left.
She had a great sense of crisis.
What kind of person is Su Tong?
Could she use this as leverage to pursue Huo Yuhao?
Judging from Meng Hongchen's pursuit of Wang Dong in the original novel, it's clear she's extremely attracted to good looks. Now that Huo Yuhao is so handsome, she's naturally fallen for him too.
Therefore, apart from pursuit, everything else is a foreign object.
Nine floors.
Su Tong frowned slightly as she watched the busy members of the Qian Gu clan.
She felt it was necessary for the tower master to bring in some more people.
Today, the basic operation of the Spirit Pagoda relies entirely on the ancient clansmen.
This is absolutely not possible.
The relationship between the two is inherently one of superior and subordinate.
Although there are no problems with doing this initially.
However, in the long run, it's hard to say whether this place is actually under Huo Yuhao's control or the Spirit Transmission Tower of the Ancient Clan.
One faction wants to last.
Unless they are all family members with an unavoidable connection.
People like Huo Yuhao, who heavily rely on outsiders and have everything run by one person, wield too much power.
Even in a world where the strong rule.
As time went by, she died, and Huo Yuhao died too.
So, is there anyone in the main branch who can control the overall situation?
That would truly be the end.
"Hey, you must be Su Tong."
Just as she was standing in the passageway thinking, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder. Turning her head, she found that it was the Sun and Moon Man who had followed the Tower Master to the tenth floor earlier.
"Yes, may I ask what business this young lady has with me?" Su Tong tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
Shouldn't they have finished discussing and negotiating before leaving?
Why are you still here?
"My name is Meng Hongchen, and I will also be a member of the Spirit Pagoda from now on. Please take care of me." Meng Hongchen extended her fair palm with a sweet smile on her face, and the passers-by not far away were stunned.
Meng Hongchen's beauty is truly top-notch.
Although she might not be considered a top star in the Three Kingdoms region, she was definitely goddess-level, especially since she was still young and hadn't fully matured.
Even so, her delicate face, touching smile, and petite figure all touched my heart.
"Um... hello!" Su Tong blushed slightly and shook hands with him, looking a little dazed.
Although he was puzzled by the sudden addition of the Sun and Moon people.
But I felt a little relieved.
At least it's not a monopoly anymore.
It seems that the tower master is also paying attention to these matters.
"I need an ice-attribute soul spirit that is four or five thousand years old. Can you take me to find one?" Meng Hongchen cut straight to the point, opening a window with the soul spirit.
Four or five thousand years, the fourth soul ring?
Upon hearing this, Su Tong looked at the somewhat immature girl in front of her with some surprise.
It's so small!
I'm already level 40?
Are the people of Sun and Moon really comfortable letting such a genius join the Spirit Pagoda?
Could he be a spy?
In an instant, Su Tong's heart sank to the bottom.
One is an ambitious grassroots worker, the other is a suspected undercover agent.
This Spirit Pagoda seems to be in rather bad shape.
"Miss Meng, what is your martial spirit?" Su Tong asked.
"Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, may I ask what Miss Su's martial soul is?"
Meng Hongchen looked Su Tong up and down. Judging from her eyesight, this person was very old and had low soul power. She figured her martial soul was probably not very good either, and she was probably no match for her.
"Ice and Snow Maiden".
As Su Tong walked, she demonstrated her martial spirit.
The moment it appeared, Meng Hongchen felt that her martial soul was under some kind of pressure, which was obviously due to a certain attribute being superior to hers.
"This is the ultimate ice!!" Meng Hongchen looked at Su Tong in disbelief.
In an instant, it seemed to become clear that it was because of the slow pace of cultivation.
"Hmm, the Tower Master is also an Ultimate Ice being, didn't I tell you?" Su Tong tilted her head and said in confusion.
"I..." Meng Hongchen's delicate fists clenched involuntarily.
This woman is definitely provoking us.
It is a formidable enemy.
The Spirit Pagoda has three levels!
This is where the thousand-year-old soul rings are stored.
Everywhere you look, there are countless souls.
They all looked alive, wriggling inside their glass-like enclosures, and occasionally you could hear them snoring.
Clearly, they are doing quite well here.
The only downside is that I lost my freedom and couldn't enjoy the pleasures of eating and drinking.
Like domesticated livestock, they are left to be chosen by anyone.
However, no one in the passing crowd paid any attention.
In their eyes, spirits and spirit beasts are the same.
Perhaps only a few ordinary people were looking at these soul beasts with burning eyes.
At this moment, Su Tong pointed to a figure that was entirely ice-blue and curled up in a ball and said, "Miss Meng, this is the Netherworld Ice Toad, a 4,800-year-old soul beast. Its ice attribute contains a little poison, which is particularly compatible with your martial soul."
"Yes, that's good, but I have a question."
Looking at the glass enclosure, which was no bigger than the palm of a hand, Meng Hongchen asked, "Shouldn't these soul beasts be four or five meters tall? Why have they become so small?"
"That's how it is..."
Su Tong patiently explained, "This glass dome is just like the storage space we often use. It looks small on the outside, but it's actually quite large inside. It has a volume of one hundred cubic meters, which is enough for the souls to carry around in daily."
"Some spirit spaces are even inhabited by a family of three, or various different spirits, and the distribution is based on their opinions."
"Some prefer to sleep alone, while others prefer to live together. Our Spirit Pagoda respects not only Soul Masters but also Soul Beasts."
"Although most of them are not very intelligent, they are still much better than those that live for a hundred or ten years."
Meng Hongchen nodded silently after listening.
Huo Yuhao, the creator of the Spirit Pagoda, is truly remarkable.
She was exceptionally beautiful and incredibly talented.
No wonder she values him.
Sooner or later, she believed that Huo Yuhao would come to marry her riding on a colorful cloud.
