Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 114 Xue Qinghe

The shopkeeper was already crawling on the ground, trembling with fear. Why offend the Haotian Sect when there are so many people to offend?
Seeing the shopkeeper crawling on the ground, Bai Chenxiang looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "Unscrupulous profiteer, asking for four times the price."

! ! ?

This frightened the shopkeeper so much that his face turned pale, as if he was about to faint in the next second.

Tang San almost rolled his eyes when he saw this scene. Bai Chenxiang probably thought that he was making innuendos and was being sarcastic, so the shopkeeper didn't bargain.

"Shopkeeper, you misunderstood. This plate crystal is already very valuable and quite rare. I didn't bargain when you offered it for 2,000 gold coins not because of my status, but because I felt it was truly worth 2,000 gold coins."

Hearing Tang San's tone without anger, the shopkeeper dared to raise his head, swallowed his saliva, and said tentatively: "Master Haotianzong, five hundred gold coins will be fine. I will return fifteen thousand gold coins to you."

Tang San waved his hand and said, "You were able to earn these 1,500 gold coins because of your discerning eye. You don't know the origin of this crystal, but you do know it's a treasure. Your discerning eye earned you 1,500 gold coins. If I were to erase your efforts and experience, wouldn't that be coercion?"

"My Haotian Sect would never do such a thing. Chenxiang, give him the two thousand gold coins."

Fifteen hundred gold coins were not much for Tang San. He was now coming out under the name of the Haotian Sect. If he was too petty, it might affect the reputation of the Haotian Sect, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

"Thank you very much. Young master, you have an extraordinary demeanor." The shopkeeper took the bill with both hands and bowed deeply to see Tang San off.

"Let's go to the villa first. It's getting late." After leaving the shop, Tang San said when he saw that it was getting late.

"Um, Young Sect Master, what is this crystal plate of yours? Is it some kind of treasure?" Bai Chenxiang was a little curious about the crystal that Tang San bought. She was of the same age as Tang San and was also his cousin, so they had known each other since childhood. She knew that Tang San would not spend so many gold coins to buy something for no reason.

Hearing this, Tang San took out the crystal and pointed at the turbid area inside the crystal and said, "The real value is what's inside. This stuff is called hair gold, and it's very sensitive to soul power. With just a little soul power, it will straighten and become very hard. Without soul power, it will curl up. It was originally used to make hidden weapons, but making hidden weapons is too wasteful. I've studied some soul guides, and this special metal that reacts to soul power is the key to making the core of soul guides."

Tang San looked at the crystal in his hand. This kind of crystal was not even recorded in the Haotian Sect, but it was recorded in the Tang Sect Treasure Record.

Tang San even suspected that the loss of spirit guides was likely due to the destruction of some of the metal knowledge related to spirit guides, which led to the inability to create them. A spirit guide was an instrument that would change when injected with soul power, and this hair crystal also had this effect. If used well, it might be possible to create some simple spirit guides.

Bai Chenxiang tilted her head and widened her eyes to show that she didn't understand this science knowledge at all.

When Tang San and Bai Chenxiang returned to the Haotian Sect's villa, they found a carriage they had never seen before parked at the gate, and there were several armored soldiers guarding the carriage.

Seeing Tang San coming back, the carriage driver lifted the curtain of the carriage. There was only one person inside the curtain. This person looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Although he was not very handsome, he had a straight nose and a square mouth. He was wearing a clean green cloth robe, giving people a very refreshing feeling. His long black hair was tied with a green cloth belt and hung neatly behind his head.

The young man stepped down from the carriage, politely addressing Tang San, "This must be His Excellency Tang San, the son of Clear Sky Douluo. I am from Xue Qinghe, and I have long heard of your great name."

Upon hearing the surname, Tang San took a closer look at the person before him and asked, "Xue? The Heavenly Dou royal family?" Xue Qinghe nodded politely and said, "I was fortunate enough to be named Crown Prince after gaining my father's favor."

!! ?
Tang San suddenly understood and said, "Oh, you are the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Since you are here, come in and have a cup of tea."

"Okay, sorry to bother you, Young Sect Master." Xue Qinghe naturally agreed. He had waited for so long just to see Tang San.

Bai Chenxiang was also very sensible. She quickly poured fragrant tea for Xue Qinghe and Tang San. They didn't even need to drink it, just smelling the scent was enough to give them a refreshing feeling.

After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Tang San asked, "Prince, why did you come to visit so late at night? I wonder what's the matter?"

After taking a sip, the prince slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I learned that Young Sect Master Tang San came to Tiandou Imperial City, so I wanted to fulfill my hospitality and take Young Sect Master to appreciate the beauty of the Imperial City."

"I've heard for a long time that Young Sect Master Tang San is incredibly talented and that he joined the Spirit Academy some time ago. Coincidentally, our Tiandou Academy is located in the Imperial City, and the Tiandou Academy team that went out for training has also returned. We'd like Young Sect Master to give us some pointers."

Tang San glanced at Xue Qinghe with a smile that showed he saw through everything. Tang San was no child who knew nothing. As someone in a high position, he had to make decisions and knew a lot.

The Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire has four sons. Although Xue Qinghe has obtained the position of crown prince and has the support of Ning Fengzhi, his position is not certain because the only Titled Douluo of the Tiandou Empire, Du Douluo, supports the fourth prince Xue Beng.

Because Emperor Xue Ye’s younger brother, Prince Xue Xing, supports the Fourth Prince.

This has led to the fact that there are actually two factions in the royal family now, the reformists and the conservatives. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe supports reform and hopes to deepen cooperation or even completely integrate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and use the power of the sect to completely recover the territories of the kingdom and principality and complete unification.

The Fourth Prince was against it, thinking that cooperating with outsiders was courting disaster and would only lead to their complete absorption by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. After all, in terms of strength, the Tiandou Royal Family, with only Poison Douluo as their leader, was no match for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Naturally, Xue Qinghe's reform method of trying to win over the Haotian Sect is completely in line with his strategy. Not to mention the Haotian Sect, he wants to win over the seven major sects, and even wants to unite the seven major sects to resist the Spirit Hall and break through the Xingluo Empire.

Tiandou Academy is under the jurisdiction of Prince Xuexing. Xue Qinghe invited Tang San to coach the Tiandou Academy team. This is completely an invasion of power!

Seeing Tang San's lack of reaction and his apparent lack of interest, Xue Qinghe had already guessed what was going on and continued, "The seven top spirit masters selected from our Heaven Dou Academy lost to other academies during their training. But it's not too shameful. After all, the academy team that defeated ours had Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's leader, on board. Losing is normal."

After hearing this, Tang San actually became interested. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Ning Rongrong? Didn't she join your Tiandou Academy?"

Tang San always thought that Ning Rongrong would definitely join Tiandou Academy!
Seeing Tang San's interest, Xue Qinghe understood and immediately said, "No, she joined an academy called Shrek."
