Chapter 170 The Undercurrent of Faith in the Spirit Hall! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Chen Hong had never considered the mental turbulence above Soto City as being related to the power of faith, and even if he had, he wouldn't have been sure.

Firstly, Chen Hong felt that with his current level as a small karami, he wouldn't be able to come into contact with something as advanced as the power of faith, which is linked to God.

Secondly, Soto City is not without the Spirit Hall, and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall has been there and found no problems. This makes Chen Hong even less convinced that those mental disturbances are the rudiments of faith power.

But now, Chen Hong began to realize a serious problem: his terrifying spiritual senses and the lack of understanding of the power of faith among most people in the Spirit Hall.

Logically speaking, the Spirit Hall should have an angelic faith, so such behavior that disregards faith should not occur. Unless Chen Hong's eyes suddenly become serious, he will carefully examine the files inside the Spirit Hall of Suocheng City when he returns, and check the records of the past popes of the Spirit Hall.

Because Chen Hong suddenly realized a problem he hadn’t noticed before: the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was not surnamed Qian!

If the Spirit Hall's lack of angelic faith is an action taken after Pope Bibi Dong ascended to the throne, then Chen Hong suddenly felt a headache coming on, because it meant that their Technology Chamber of Commerce would ultimately have to choose sides, choose sides, and choose sides again.

However, Chen Hong doesn't know what the Qian family, the angels within the Spirit Hall, are thinking. What if the Qian family and Pope Bibi Dong are like a couple having a tiff? If Chen Hong, an outsider, tries to "advise them to break up," and the two families eventually reconcile, Chen Hong will be the only one left feeling embarrassed.

"It seems the turbulent flow of faith above Soto City needs to be cleared up quickly, at least before the Qian family arrives. Then I need to find an opportunity to make contact with the higher-ups of both the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Sect factions. My parents can't do this for me; it's up to me. Ah, academy life is so much more peaceful." The Sea Soul Mercenary Group's self-introduction was finished, and Chen Hong sighed inwardly.

Chen Hong had no idea how incredibly lucky he was. He was unaware that only two members of the Qian family remained in the world, and that only these two could sense the power of faith within the Spirit Hall. Coincidentally, one of the two Qian family members was practically confined to Heaven Dou City by Bibi Dong, while the other was sealed in the Spirit City's Hall of Worship by Chen Hong's "Soul Ring Intent Theory," undergoing seclusion with a group of Worship Douluos. Once their seclusion ended, they would undoubtedly search for Chen Hong, but who knew how long that would be?

"The introductions are finished. Now let's get straight to the point and state our purpose." The Hague Soul Saint, standing on the water, finished his introductions and looked down at the numerous Soto City Soul Masters. His gaze swept across the crowd, trying to find the person he was looking for. However, clearly unfamiliar with land-based Soul Masters, the Hague Soul Saint couldn't distinguish whose bloodline was stronger. Therefore, he could only judge by appearance. Seeing many elegantly dressed noblemen among the crowd, the Hague Soul Saint smiled slightly:

"This mermaid spirit beast is an extremely rare spirit beast from the ocean, with a long lifespan and stunning beauty. For mainland spirit masters who lack knowledge of sea spirit beasts, it can definitely be considered a treasure!"

"In order to allow all our Soul Master friends on the mainland to witness her beauty, our Sea Soul Mercenary Group went to great lengths to transport her from the South China Sea."

"I won't waste any more words. Since this is a slave market, I'll just state our demands directly!"

Looking at the excited land-based soul masters around him, Soul Saint Hague laughed heartily and said, "Seeing that you all can't wait any longer, don't worry, we will be using an auction format! The starting bid is 200,000 gold soul coins! The highest bidder wins!"

"Holy crap! Two hundred thousand gold soul coins?! Did I hear that right?!" The moment the Soul Saint of Hague finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar!

"However, things are valued for their rarity, so a price of 200,000 is not incomprehensible." Some Soul Masters could understand this, after all, it was an extremely rare sea Soul Beast, and a half-human sea Soul Beast at that.

"Two hundred and one thousand!" Amidst the commotion, a handsome young man in fine clothes, protected by an old man, stepped out from the crowd and announced his bid to the Soul Saint of The Hague.

Upon hearing this, the Soul Saint of The Hague smiled and turned his gaze towards the man. Seeing his imposing presence and fine clothes, clearly a nobleman, he immediately laughed and said, "This young friend has offered 210,000! Does anyone else wish to bid?"

At this moment, all the surrounding Soul Masters turned their gazes to the young man, and one sharp-eyed person couldn't help but exclaim, "It's the Earl's son, Young Master Xue Luo!"

Chen Hong and Ning Quan in the crowd also looked over. Ning Quan's gaze lingered on the old man with an obscure aura behind Xue Luo for a moment, then he whispered in Chen Hong's ear, "Xue Luo is at the Soul Master level. The old servant beside him, all I know is that his surname is Yang, his martial soul is a spear, and he is a Soul Saint. He had some dealings with our Technology Chamber of Commerce before, but you were at Shrek Academy at that time and didn't know any of this."

Chen Hong nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Should we make a move against that mermaid sea spirit beast?" Ning Quan asked again. He had already figured out that Chen Hong's purpose in coming to this slave night market was probably that sea spirit beast, and the two cat-eared girls named Sophie Soya in front of him were just accidental acquisitions.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!" Another person made a move. It was also a high-ranking nobleman. As Soto City had the potential to develop into a metropolis, all the major nobles within the Heavenly Dou Empire wanted to get a share of the pie and had already sent people to Soto City.

"Make a move? How much working capital does the Chamber of Commerce have?" Chen Hong took in the appearances of the nobles who kept raising their prices, and then asked Ning Quan.

Ning Quan pondered for a moment, then replied to Chen Hong, "The Technology Chamber of Commerce is fully committed to investing in real estate, so we don't have much liquid capital. Moreover, the investment in infrastructure projects is too large, especially the heavy investment in the Soul Power Baby Bottle project last month, which has significantly reduced our available funds. Currently, we can only withdraw about one million yuan from our accounts, and it cannot be less than eight hundred thousand yuan, otherwise the cash flow of various departments will be difficult. The funds will only be able to flow back after the Soul Power Baby Bottle is launched on a large scale."

Because the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce invested millions of yuan at the critical juncture of building the Soul Power Baby Bottle production line, the Chamber currently has not much cash on hand.

Ning Quan truly lives up to his Ning family reputation. Although he is obsessed with swordsmanship, he still possesses extremely high standards when it comes to economics. It can only be said that the education of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is very impressive, at least compared to other sects.
