Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 199 The Idea King's New Idea

"I see—"

Xu Yang looked up at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.

But those who know Xu Yang well know that he is simply spacing out. He usually only does this when he has nothing else to do.

But Ye Yulin, the idea king, suddenly made another move.

"That one—Ah Yang."

"I'm saying if you really have nothing better to do and are just bored, then..."

"I have an idea."

"Let me tell you, listen to me—"

"Um----?

'

Xu Yang snapped out of his daze and looked at Ye Yulin with a conflicted expression.

Jing Hongchen also had a bad feeling. Last time, he believed Ye Yulin's nonsense and accompanied him to visit the Xingluo Imperial Palace.

The result was exactly as described above.

He was lectured by his granddaughter for a long time, almost from afternoon until evening, and only managed to escape after he repeatedly made promises.

However, Ye Yulin is just like that; his boundless imagination has endowed him with many talents that soul masters dream of.

His masterpiece, the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, is a significant achievement in the history of the development of soul tools in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Prior to this, research on high-altitude soul tools had mostly remained at the conceptual level; only Ye Yulin had made a real breakthrough.

In this respect, he is even more authoritative than Kong Deming, who is the number one person in the Sun Moon Empire for soul tools.

"I think it's better if you don't say it."

Jing Hongchen's words directly stopped Ye Yulin's new idea.

He was afraid that Xu Yang might make a rash decision and agree to it just like him, which would lead to some unpleasant situation later.

But Ye Yulin didn't care about that; in terms of seniority, he was the oldest among everyone present.

"My idea this time is absolutely foolproof!"

Ye Yulin slammed her hand on the table and made a promise.

"What do you think would happen if we sneaked into the Star Luo Imperial Palace in the middle of the night—"

"Stop!"

Jing Hongchen raised his hand, while Xu Yang rubbed his forehead.

The two stopped Ye Yulin in unison. This idea king's new ideas always managed to leave people speechless.

Although Xu Yang himself likes to find some fun and do some big things on a regular basis, he feels that compared to Ye Yulin, he is really a small fry.

Xu Yang estimated that if this person were placed next door, that entertainer would definitely be rewarded with a position as a messenger.

Xu Yang frowned, as if he felt much better.

He then spoke, saying each word clearly: "Your Majesty Starry Sky, before seeking amusement, shouldn't you consider the feasibility?"

"In the dead of night, sneaking into the Star Luo Imperial Palace, especially since you're a Title Douluo. To outsiders, how is this any different from assassinating the emperor?"

"I firmly believe in one thing: when you're watching something funny, you should never let yourself become the subject of that funny thing."

"Furthermore, if you have similar thoughts in the future, I suggest you just return to Tianming. Many seniors there are waiting for this opportunity, and their eyes are practically green with envy."

"I believe they would prefer to relax here rather than work overtime in Tianming."

Xu Yang began threatening Ye Yulin with overtime work.

As expected, Ye Yulin became much more obedient when she heard that she would be forced to go back to work overtime.

But his eyes were still darting around, clearly he was plotting something.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Yulin spoke again.

Ah Yang, listen to me—

"If entering the palace isn't appropriate, I have some very interesting news to share."

Do you know Starlight Auction House?

"It's said to be one of the largest auction houses in the Star Luo Empire. Would you be interested in seeing what kind of place it is that can compete with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the auction arena?"

It's important to know that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's business spans the entire continent. Even within the Sun Moon Empire, there are many traces of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. In the Douluo Three Kingdoms auction industry, they have even created a monopoly.

"I heard that Starlight Auction House has acquired a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. I think you would be very interested in that."

"Why don't we sneak in and steal that embryo to take a look?"

Ye Yulin didn't say "steal," how could the things that scholars do be called "stealing"?

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, then couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Over the years, he has sent many demon spirits to the far north, all in order to find out about the Snow Emperor's failed transformation.

In addition, he had inquired about the missing level nine soul masters within the Sun Moon Empire, as well as the creators of level nine soul tools such as the Conferred God Platform or similar soul tools.

The result was very disappointing; there was absolutely no news.

Xu Yang also sighed, remarking on how wondrous the world was, noting that such opportunities only appeared when someone arrived at a particular place.

The reason he sought out Xue Di was quite simple: he wanted to study what was so special about pure elemental spirits.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, there are similar elemental spirits, but their cultivation levels are generally too low, and very few have even awakened intelligence. Therefore, they are not very suitable for the Chimera Project, and their research value is practically nonexistent.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, are you really not tempted?"

"Having studied soul beasts for so many years, I've never heard of a soul beast embryo that's 100,000 years old."

Ye Yulin was still testing Xu Yang's attitude.

After a brief moment of thought, Xu Yang immediately made a decision.

"Time waits for no one, we'll set off soon."

"However—it's not the theft you mentioned before; we'll go in and buy it openly and honestly."

He drew back the curtains, and there, in the night sky, the bright moon hung high, and the stars shone brightly.

The entire Star Luo Imperial Capital remained brightly lit and bustling with people, resembling a city that never sleeps. The greatest contributor to this was undoubtedly the Soul Master Competition.

This is a grand event held once every five years, and only once every twenty years, in Xingluo City.

An ordinary person would probably experience this four times in their lifetime, from birth to death.

Of course, this is all under the premise of no war or disease.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei chose to follow public opinion and temporarily lifted the original curfew during the Soul Master Competition, so that the Soul Masters could have as much fun as they wanted.

At the same time, the people of Xingluo City can also participate in this carnival.

Moreover, tax revenue can be increased significantly. Every expenditure that occurs in the Star Luo Imperial Capital during this period contributes to enriching the Star Luo Imperial Treasury.

Even the old beggars in Star Luo City are looking forward to the Soul Master Competition. Not for any other reason than that in these few days, they can pick up more trash that the noble lords don't want outside the city.

For them, it was like celebrating the New Year.

Jing Hongchen couldn't help but frown.

"In such a hurry, shouldn't we prepare more?"

"Dean Hongchen, don't worry. I'm not as careless as His Majesty Xingkong, who doesn't do any preparation and just plans to force his way into the Xingluo Imperial Palace."

Xu Yang even dissed Ye Yulin as he spoke.

"I will have Senior Emperor Tian and His Majesty Starry Sky accompany me."

"In this way, we have a safety net."
