Chapter 117 Going All In is a Kind of Wisdom
Ning Siyuan was holding a teacup, waiting for Huo Yuhao to make his final decision. Upon hearing this, his hand holding the teacup paused almost imperceptibly.
Unlike other factions, the heirs of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion are not simply raised within their families; instead, they are sent to Shrek Academy for further studies.
Aside from the bond from ten thousand years ago, this was also to seek the secret of how our ancestors became gods.
But ten thousand years have passed, and most of what needs to be known has already been known.
Even Shrek Academy doesn't know where the treasure land was back then.
Sending family heirs to Shrek Academy has simply become a habit to maintain good relations between the two sides.
Ning Siyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Huo Yuhao, "I wonder what you mean, Yuhao?"
Ning Tian, who was feeling a bit down, and Wu Xi and Wu Feng, who were whispering to each other on the other side, all turned their gazes to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, who was the center of attention, smiled slightly: "Qiluo Tulip, I believe Uncle Ning should be familiar with it."
Without beating around the bush, as Huo Yuhao's soul power surged, he flipped his hand, and a semi-transparent jade box appeared in his palm.
Inside the jade box was a tulip that resembled a vine-covered canopy, topped with a golden tulip that shone with dazzling golden light, appearing quite mystical.
The moment Ning Tian and Ning Siyuan saw the strange immortal herb, their martial spirits and soul power involuntarily showed signs of being drawn to it.
Clearly, even if this herb is not the legendary Qiluo Tulip, it is still an extremely rare and precious treasure.
Ning Siyuan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and placed the teacup back on the coffee table.
But the few drops of tea that were accidentally spilled showed that even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master, who had seen countless rare treasures, was still deeply shaken.
"Yuhao, is this your personal decision, or the Sea God Pavilion's plan?"
Ning Siyuan's gaze at the jade box was filled with indescribable excitement, but there were some things that needed to be clarified beforehand.
Although every generation of sect leader who inherits the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School dreams of evolving their martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so as to truly live up to the name of the sect that has been passed down for thousands of years.
However, if this means completely binding the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to Shrek Academy, the sect leader still needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "This is the second thing I want to discuss with Uncle Ning today."
Ning Siyuan maintained his gentle smile: "Yuhao, please continue. As long as it's within my capabilities, I can agree to it."
As Huo Yuhao began to briefly explain his soul spirit technology and some of his future plans, and even had A Xie come out to demonstrate it on the spot.
Apart from Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who already knew about this, Ning Siyuan and Wu Xi both showed surprise on their faces.
"This is probably a technology that could change the entire landscape of the Soul Master world."
Ning Siyuan's face was filled with uncontrollable amazement, even more so than the shock he had felt from the Qiluo Tulip earlier.
"So, Yuhao, you want our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to provide sufficient financial support for the construction of your future Spirit Transmission Tower?"
"But according to your logic, Yuhao, this soul spirit technology requires the consent of both the soul master and the soul beast. How then do we address the soul beast's wishes?"
Perhaps because they had started discussing serious matters, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Wu Xi all went to the side to tease and play with A Xie.
It has to be said that Ah Xie, after being made petite and with a slightly silly and cute appearance, is extremely attractive to girls.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ning Siyuan and stated calmly, "My teacher has already discussed this matter in detail with the Beast God Di Tian. As long as we humans show enough sincerity, I think the subsequent progress should become very simple."
A smile appeared on Ning Siyuan's face.
He is a smart man.
After Huo Yuhao demonstrated his soul spirit technology, he immediately understood that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had to seize this opportunity and get on board this new era.
Otherwise, they might end up like the once-powerful Tang Sect, failing to make progress in the face of the impact of soul tools and ultimately declining completely.
Not to mention that the effect of this soul spirit on auxiliary soul masters like them is probably no less than that of the soul tool.
After only a moment's thought, Ning Siyuan decided to go all in.
He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and asked gently, "Yuhao, where have you decided to build this first Spirit Transmission Tower?"
"Somewhere ten kilometers outside the Star Dou Great Forest, this is also the intention of that Beast God Di Tian. Uncle Ning should also understand that if the Spirit Pagoda wants to continue to develop, it cannot do without the help of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly.
The establishment of the Spirit Tower in the previous life was based on mutual checks and balances among the three great empires, Shrek Academy, and Star Dou Great Forest, and the so-called council hall was supervised by thirty-six councilors.
But the result?
Seven thousand years later, the Spirit Pagoda became a place where certain families held absolute power, and even the soul beasts were driven out.
Huo Yuhao still doesn't understand how the ferocious beast was driven out. Did Di Tian's Dragon God Claw become dull?
He could only attribute it to the fact that by then, human soul-guided technology had completely suppressed the ferocious beasts, and the soul contract had gradually changed from an equal contract to a master-servant contract.
Clearly, the so-called parliamentary system in his previous life had not been very effective, so this time he might as well try to take control of everything first, and then slowly deal with the problems that would arise later.
Ning Siyuan smiled and said, "That's true. I see it's getting late, and I've already had lunch prepared in the kitchen. How about we eat and chat at the table?"
……
After a pleasant banquet, Huo Yuhao and Ning Siyuan reached a preliminary agreement. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will then dispatch personnel to the Star Dou Great Forest to conduct further detailed negotiations with Elder Yi and the ferocious beasts.
To change the situation of his previous life, Huo Yuhao understood that the ferocious beasts had to be fully involved and even gradually integrated into human society; otherwise, the problems would still arise after hundreds or thousands of years.
At this moment, they are in the cultivation chamber of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Huo Yuhao took out the jade box that had previously contained the Qiluo tulips and opened it again. A rich and strange tulip scent immediately filled the air.
Huo Yuhao handed the jade box to Ning Tian and smiled calmly:
"Begin absorbing it. But remember, this flower cannot be swallowed directly. You must gently inhale the stamen, and then let your soul power flow slowly, allowing the medicinal effects to spread throughout your limbs and bones, before completely refining it."
Ning Tian held the jade box, tiptoed, and kissed Huo Yuhao's lips. The brief but intense contact made Wu Feng's gaze towards the two become even more resentful.
Ning Tian seemed to sense the resentful look in Wu Feng's eyes. Her cheeks flushed, she looked away and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao chuckled and reached out to help Ning Tian smooth her long, golden hair that was starting to cover her ears. "Alright, hurry up and refine the medicinal effects."
"Mm." Ning Tian responded solemnly, no longer hesitating, and followed Huo Yuhao's instructions, sitting cross-legged to prepare to absorb the medicinal power.
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on Wu Feng beside him, his eyes filled with a hint of envy.
Wu Feng seemed to sense Huo Yuhao's gaze, coughed a few times, and said somewhat awkwardly, "My grandmother said she doesn't need you to give me any immortal herbs. But please don't take what she said to you before seriously."
Wu Feng also knew just how precious the immortal herb was; the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was richer than a country, had never obtained a single one in ten thousand years.
She would never force anyone to do something against their will, and as for feeling envious, that's just human nature.
"Which sentence?" Huo Yuhao looked at Wu Feng's awkward and coy demeanor with a strange sense of curiosity and said with a half-smile, "At the dinner table just now, Grandma Wu kept pulling me to drink, and I was a little dizzy, so I didn't quite hear clearly."
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng immediately rushed to Huo Yuhao's side, gently rubbing his white little tiger teeth together.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about! My grandma was just joking with you, saying she wanted a great-grandson as a gift to show her sincerity or something. It's absolutely infuriating! Huo Yuhao, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes." Huo Yuhao smiled and then took out a dark green jade box from his storage soul tool.
When Wu Feng saw the jade box, a hint of doubt appeared in his wine-red eyes, as if he had vaguely guessed something, and his eyes immediately became somewhat watery.
"Yuhao~"
Hearing Wu Feng's sudden and delicate voice, Huo Yuhao felt goose bumps all over his body. He couldn't help but stretch out his finger and gently flicked her forehead.
"Be normal."
"Ugh." Wu Feng rubbed his temples. "I clearly saw you enjoying being called that by Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie before. Why can't it be the same for me?"
As he spoke, Wu Feng puffed out his chest again, clearly dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's differential treatment.
"The other person speaks so naturally, you're obviously faking it." Huo Yuhao curled his lip and continued, "Why don't you call out a few more times, maybe I'll get used to it."
Wu Feng's eyes widened instantly, and he felt a chill as he thought of his affected voice just now.
However, with a quick glance and a turn of his head, Wu Feng clung to Huo Yuhao's back, hooking his arms around Huo Yuhao's neck.
"How about I tell you a few embarrassing stories from your childhood, young master, in exchange?"
Wu Feng's voice was extremely low, with a hint of snickering, and his breath brushed against Huo Yuhao's ear.
"Young Master wasn't as independent when she was little. She used to cry all the time."
"Are you sure you won't be expelled from the sect by Ning Tian after you tell him?"
Huo Yuhao had to use one hand to support Wu Feng's pert little bottom to prevent the restless little guy from slipping down, his tone carrying a hint of obvious helplessness.
"You should know that Ning Tian becoming the next sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is a foregone conclusion. If she wants to deal with you then, no one can stop her."
Wu Feng rested his chin on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and replied with a grin, "At worst, I'll just stay at your house and not leave. Anyway, your aunt definitely won't kick me out."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily a few times: "Judging from the way you were when you met my mother yesterday, if it weren't for Ning Tian holding things together, you probably would have wanted to run away long ago."
Huo Yuhao gently patted Wu Feng's thigh, signaling her to get down first.
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready to regulate your breathing. This fiery elixir isn't as gentle as those immortal herbs. I have to help you absorb it in stages, otherwise the fire poison inside might just kill you."
Last time I performed a simplified version of the Ice and Fire Refining Body, I also used up most of the incandescent glue.
The remaining incandescent glue was not enough to directly evolve Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul to the level of Ultimate Fire.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao could catalyze Wu Feng's bloodline by activating the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Soul, and with the combined effects of the Blazing Glue, after multiple absorptions, he was still able to evolve her Martial Soul into the Ultimate Fire.
The only point that requires special attention is that, like the Blazing Apricot Blossom, this scorching glue also contains extremely potent fire poison in addition to its medicinal effects. Unless one possesses an ultimate fire that is immune to all poisons, ordinary fire-attribute soul masters will find it difficult to withstand the fire poison it contains.
In her previous life, Ma Xiaotao also transformed into a black phoenix, raising her martial soul to the level of extreme fire; otherwise, she would have been unable to withstand the fire poison of the scorching glue.
Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Wu Feng also put away his playful attitude, obediently slid off him, and his expression became serious.
She didn't doubt what Huo Yuhao said. If even Huo Yuhao took it so seriously, then the scorching glue he mentioned was definitely no small matter.
After Wu Feng sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breathing, Huo Yuhao opened the jade box.
A faint fragrance mixed with extremely rich fire element burst forth instantly, and a strange ointment about the size of an infant's fist, with a beautiful golden-red color, appeared before Wu Feng.
Huo Yuhao didn't say much, but his original blue-gold eyes suddenly turned into crimson dragon eyes, and three golden soul rings appeared behind him.
Although it wasn't the first time Wu Feng and the others had seen this golden spirit ring, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts every time they saw such a noble and completely different gilded spirit ring.
This is why Ning Tian felt somewhat inferior after being so impressed by Huo Yuhao's talent.
It should be noted that Ning Tian broke the record for the fastest breakthrough to Soul Venerable within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is even more outstanding than that of his ancestor Ning Rongrong.
Even Ning Tian felt a little withdrawn in front of Huo Yuhao, let alone those of them who were less talented.
However, this is not all bad.
Aside from the lazy Wang Dong'er, everyone else worked even harder to cultivate, hoping to get a little closer to Huo Yuhao.
