"Not bad," Huo Yuhao nodded secretly, feeling that he had come to the right place. Moreover, he didn't think this was the full strength of the Earth Dragon Sect. He conservatively estimated that the Earth Dragon Sect had at least two Soul Saints.
They are all excellent wage earners, Huo Yuhao thought, looking at the few people with increasingly excited eyes.
The several Earth Dragon Sect elders who rushed over had no intention of paying attention to Huo Yuhao. Each of them looked at the brilliant soul rings floating around Nan Shuishui with fiery eyes.
"Supreme Elder, you've come out of seclusion." Nan Shuishui came back to her senses and greeted an old man around seventy years old who was in the lead.
"Sect Master, what's going on? I personally helped you hunt your eighth soul ring back then. How could it become a hundred thousand year soul ring?"
The Supreme Elder didn't have time for pleasantries. What he was most concerned about now was Nan Shuishui's hundred thousand year soul ring.
Hearing this, Nan Shuishui looked at Huo Yuhao. To be honest, she still felt a sense of unreality. Increasing the age of a soul ring, could a thirteen-year-old kid really do that?
But everything that was happening in front of her was telling her that it was real.
Calming her mood, Nan Shuishui organized her words and introduced Huo Yuhao to the others, "This is the highly skilled disciple of the Body Douluo of the Body Sect. My eighth soul ring was able to be raised to a hundred thousand years, all thanks to this young master's gift."
Nan Shuishui first stated Huo Yuhao's identity when speaking, so as to avoid the foolish idea of a few elders trying to force information about how to improve the soul ring from him later.
Sure enough, the little schemes that the Earth Dragon Sect elders had in their hearts after hearing Huo Yuhao's background disappeared in an instant. The Body Sect, they couldn't afford to offend them.
The crowd's eyes flickered slightly. They were wondering about Huo Yuhao's purpose in doing this. The fact that Huo Yuhao could take it out meant that there might be a deal between the two sides.
Everyone knew about the last incident with the transformed soul beast, so they knew a little about Huo Yuhao's character, which was four words: benefits above all else.
The only thing they weren't sure about was what the other party was plotting by releasing such a big bait this time.
"Sect Master Nan doesn't need to worry. It's just a small token of my appreciation, just consider it compensation for the advantage I took last time," Huo Yuhao said in a timely manner. The reaction of the Earth Dragon Sect elders satisfied him very much. This was the effect he wanted.
"Little friend, I'm a straightforward person and don't like those roundabout ways. I wonder if the method to improve soul rings can be traded?" The Supreme Elder stood up and said.
It was no wonder he was so excited. He was now at level eighty-nine with innate level seven soul power. His martial soul wasn't very outstanding either. If there were no special opportunities, then level eighty would be a threshold he could never cross.
He had already been at level eighty-nine three years ago, and three years later, he was still stuck here, unable to move forward.
But now he saw hope. Improving the soul ring would also improve his aptitude. If he could break through to level ninety, then he would have no regrets in this life.
Huo Yuhao could see the urgency of this Supreme Elder and was secretly happy. On the surface, however, he was very calm, cupping his fists slightly, "I'm sorry, Senior, the method of improving soul rings is a secret technique of our sect and cannot be passed on to outsiders unless they are disciples of our sect."
"Is that so?"
The Earth Dragon Sect elders were somewhat disappointed when they heard this. The Supreme Elder asked unwillingly, "Little friend, is there really no other way? If it really doesn't work, we can also not ask for the method, and just ask your sect to help us improve our soul rings. Little friend, rest assured, I will definitely pay your sect a satisfactory reward."
The two sides argued for several rounds, and then Huo Yuhao appropriately explained that the Heavenly Court was about to be established, inviting the Earth Dragon Sect to join the Heavenly Court, including introducing the Netherworld to everyone.
The Earth Dragon Sect elders showed some resistance, but fortunately, the previous transaction between the two sides was still pleasant, so their attitude was still good.
"Sect Master Nan, in a few days, my Heavenly Court will hold an auction in Tiandou City. I look forward to your presence. Also, please consider the previous matter again. The door of my Heavenly Court will always be open for you. Farewell."
Huo Yuhao left, handing Nan Shuishui four invitation cards to the Tianhun Auction House before leaving. Although the Earth Dragon Sect was not strong, it was still a sect with a long heritage and had a certain degree of cohesion. Those elders had a strong sense of belonging to the sect, so the Earth Dragon Sect had not given a clear answer.
They didn't agree, but they didn't refuse either.
In comparison, the Element City Soul Master Union was much smoother. After all, the union was a commercial organization, similar to a company, and the management was relatively loose.
However, it cannot be said that the trip to Dragon City was completely without gains, because Huo Yuhao pulled a group of high-level Earth Dragon Sect members into the Netherworld, but because they did not join the Heavenly Court, they could only join the lowest level Black Iron Realm.
The Earth Dragon Sect happily agreed to this. They could get benefits without having to pay anything, so why not agree?
Moreover, Nan Shuishui also had the authority to pull people into the Netherworld. It was believed that before long, the entire Earth Dragon Sect would become Huo Yuhao's wage earners.
In the following days, Huo Yuhao cultivated in peace in the Body Sect, leaving all the affairs of the Heavenly Court to his subordinates. He established the Heavenly Court in order to rapidly expand the Netherworld, so as to rapidly improve himself.
If he delayed his own cultivation for the sake of the Heavenly Court, then he would be putting the cart before the horse.
On the Earth Dragon Sect side, after Huo Yuhao left, Nan Shuishui, along with several elders, convened a sect meeting to discuss the invitation from the Heavenly Court.
The result was that although everyone did not directly agree, their words showed some loosening. Finally, Nan Shuishui made the decision to have all the elders vote on whether to join the Heavenly Court after the Tiandou City auction ended.
Everyone admired Nan Shuishui's decision very much. In fact, they were already somewhat shaken. The prospects of the Heavenly Court were very promising, and the benefits were close at hand, so they couldn't help but be moved.
But Nan Shuishui was different. She was the boss of the Earth Dragon Sect. There was a saying that it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. The fact that the sect master was willing to give up the position of boss surprised everyone.
Half a month later, Tiandou City, as the capital of the Tianhun Empire, the prosperity of Tiandou City need not be said. The permanent population exceeded one million, and merchants traveled frequently. The actual number of people in the city was no less than five million.
The streets were crowded with people, and everyone who came and went was wearing high-quality clothes and dressed neatly, showing a scene of prosperity.
Ning Zhiyuan and his wife, the Flame Phoenix Douluo, as well as the Sword Douluo Chen Feng, had arrived in Tiandou City a few days ago, but they didn't want to be high-profile and had been staying in the hotel these days.
Today, it wasn't that they were in the mood for leisure, but that the Tianhun Auction House was about to begin.
"This Tiandou City is not bad, it's developing more and more prosperously?"
While walking towards the auction house, Ning Zhiyuan didn't forget to sigh with emotion.
But no one answered him. Chen Feng's expression was indifferent, appearing very aloof.
The Flame Phoenix Douluo didn't say a word. What if Tiandou City was prosperous? Wasn't it still accumulated by oppressing the people and plundering their wealth? Those magnificent buildings were built with blood-soaked steamed buns.
