Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 423 Cooperation!

Sensing the unique aura emanating from Xue'er, Ning Que trembled and remained speechless for a long time.

The aura and temperament of a strong person are a unique charm that cannot be imitated. Coupled with that light palm strike just now, Ning Que immediately thought of the legendary Snow Emperor's Three Absolute Techniques. He couldn't help but believe it.

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and told him a fantastic adventure story that was full of protagonist aura: when he went to the far north to hunt for spirit rings, he happened to meet the Snow Empress, who was sitting alone because her lifespan was coming to an end.

Kind-hearted Huo, of course, did not know that she was the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. He assumed that she was a young female Soul Master who had lost her way in the Far North Snowfield. He not only treated her to food but also gave her clothes and water.

After living together for a few days, Xue Di was deeply moved. Because her own lifespan was coming to an end, she finally decided to sacrifice herself and voluntarily transform into Huo Yuhao's soul.

As for the soul contract, Xue Di had seen it in an ancient book before. She taught it to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao tried it and actually succeeded.

Thus, the first soul in history was born!

Ning Que listened in a daze. If Xue'er hadn't been right in front of him, he would have thought that Huo Yuhao was telling him a fairy tale that was specially used to lull children to sleep. That's ridiculous!

But looking at Xue'er's dignified face, and remembering the words she had just uttered, Ning Que's mouth twitched for a long time before he could only sigh with envy, jealousy, and resentment: "Your luck is truly..."

Seeing that Ning Que had accepted his story, Huo Yuhao continued, "Xue'er is very special. Her intelligence is also well preserved. I believe that apart from me, it would be difficult for others to find such a powerful soul."

"But in any case, a soul spirit of the same level is definitely more useful to a soul master than a soul ring of the same level. Moreover, according to my estimation, the older the soul spirit is, the stronger the energy it retains during transformation, and the more soul skills it can bring to the soul master."

"For example, a hundred-year-old soul spirit should be able to grant a soul master two soul skills. Of course, it will also occupy two soul ring slots for the soul master. In this way, the soul master will not need to hunt for soul rings. When the soul power reaches the bottleneck of the next level, it can automatically advance through the power of the soul spirit."

"This is another advantage of spirits: they can greatly alleviate the natural antagonism between spirit beasts and spirit masters."

Ning Que was immediately startled: "Soul spirits can have such effects? In that case, the significance of soul spirits becomes even more profound!"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's right. Xue'er was once the ruler of the far northern snowfield and was very familiar with the Sea Princess clan, the rulers of the icy sea. Moreover, in her early years, Xue'er had also been to the Star Dou Great Forest and knew several ferocious beast rulers in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. They had some friendships."

"If Xue'er acts as a go-between, there is a great chance that she can persuade those ferocious beast rulers to let their soul beasts that are on the verge of death form a contract with human soul masters."

"As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Although the lifespan of humans is far shorter than that of soul beasts, if they are already about to die, they might as well become soul spirits and go out into the world with human soul masters. Even if they have a few decades or even hundreds of years more to live, I don't think even soul beasts would refuse, right?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Ning Que pondered the possibility carefully, his body trembling slightly.

If the problem of soul beasts can truly be solved, then there is indeed great potential in dealing with soul spirits!
After a long pause, he finally calmed down and said excitedly, "Good! Yuhao, you've convinced me! I will do my best to help you."

"Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask, what exactly does the 'friendly and mutually beneficial relationship' you mentioned between the two cases refer to?"

Huo Yuhao had anticipated this and calmly said, "I would like to ask Uncle Ning to help me choose a location in the 'no man's land' outside Shrek City to build a mountain gate, just like your sect, preferably in a mountain range that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Because of Shrek Academy's special status in Douluo Continent, within a radius of several hundred miles centered on Shrek City, the three kingdoms of Douluo generally do not interfere much, but rather Shrek City manages it itself.

This area was known as the "no man's land," and Ning Que was naturally aware of it.

Ning Que asked doubtfully, "Why don't you just choose a location within Shrek City? Given your status at Shrek, that shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Shrek City is too small; there isn't enough space even if we choose one location."

Ning Que was startled: "Small? Just how big of a mountain gate do you intend to build?"

The image of Mingde Hall flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, and he said firmly, "It should be at least an entire mountain peak, and it may expand as it develops in the future."

This was Huo Yuhao's final decision after much consideration. Even if the Sun Moon Empire really launched a war in the future, the area around Shrek City would be relatively safe.

If we're just being prepared, and considering that the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest might suddenly go mad for some reason, then the area north of Shrek City would be the best choice.

Choosing a good mountain peak within this area, which is also close to the important city of Shrek City, would not pose a problem for the transportation of supplies, given the mobility of Soul Masters, and would also provide ample room for development and construction.

Moreover, even if Tang Shenwang shamelessly goes to the lower realm in the future, or turns Shrek Academy against him, since his main base is not in Shrek City, he will not be so easily controlled by others.

Beside him, Ning Que, completely unaware that Huo Yuhao had already entered spoiler mode and considered things so far ahead, naturally gasped: "You have such a big appetite? Yuhao, do you know how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources it would take to build such a large mountain gate?"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Of course I know, that's why I want to cooperate with Uncle Ning. I will contact Da Vinci later. Over the years, Hu Di Lao and Xiao Men Kan's businesses have spread throughout the four empires, and I have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. In the early stages of the sect's infrastructure construction, I should be able to barely afford it financially. If that's not enough, I'll have to ask Uncle Ning for help."

"As for manpower and resources, I am currently engaged in exchange and study in the Sun Moon Empire and am indeed unable to spare the time. I can only ask Uncle Ning to take extra care of things. Of course, in return, I will not let Uncle Ning suffer any losses."

A flash of light appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand, and a thick stack of blueprints appeared instantly.

Ning Que's expression shifted slightly: "Is this your newly invented soul tool?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head: "Only a very small part are the blueprints I invented or improved during this period. As for the majority of the other blueprints..."

Huo Yuhao suddenly paused and said in a deep voice, "They all come from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Mingde Hall!"

Ning Que suddenly looked up, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with disbelief. He exclaimed, "You...you actually stole so much of Mingde Hall's research?"
