Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 220 The Turtle King Arrives Quickly

The office of Xianlin'er, Dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy.

At this moment, an old man dressed in white was present. He said to a middle-aged woman, "Lin'er, could you give me a discount on the custom-made flying and defensive soul tools for this inner court student?"

My Martial Soul Department's finances haven't been great lately either. We've been friends for so many years, you know what I mean~

The white-robed elder who spoke was none other than Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. Yan Shaozhe looked at Xian Lin'er, rubbed his hands together, and said with a grin.

Xian Lin'er snorted, her eyebrows curving upwards. She was clearly in a good mood seeing Yan Shaozhe pleading with her so humbly, and her voice carried a slight smirk as she spoke.

"Yan Shaozhe~ Stop grinning at me like that, we don't have any real relationship."

The teacher said that the cost of customizing the soul tools for inner court students should be paid by your martial soul department to my soul guidance department, and there should be no delays!

As for a cheaper price, hmph, the price I, from the Soul Guidance Department, offer to the Martial Soul Department is low enough. If you're not satisfied, go talk to your teacher. As long as you can get him to say something, I wouldn't object to giving you the Martial Soul Department for free, let alone a cheaper price.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was about to use his sweet words to talk to Xian Lin'er, the door to Xian Lin'er's office was suddenly opened.

Xian Lin'er's nominal husband, Qian Duoduo, walked in. Qian Duoduo was extremely displeased to see Yan Shaozhe and his wife Xian Lin'er alone together in the office.

After so many years of marriage, Qian Duoduo has never even held Xian Lin'er's hand. Seeing Xian Lin'er's ex-boyfriend Yan Shaozhe alone in a room with his wife, Qian Duoduo is afraid that Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe will rekindle their old flame.

Upon learning that Yan Shaozhe had arrived at Xian Lin'er's office, Qian Duoduo rushed over without delay, abandoning her work.

Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Oh ho, isn't this Shao Zhe? What are you doing in my Soul Guidance Department? What's the matter? Let's talk. In the Soul Guidance Department, Lin'er and I have a clear division of labor: I'm in charge of internal affairs and she's in charge of external affairs."

When Yan Shaozhe saw that Qian Duoduo had arrived so quickly, his face immediately darkened. He was confident that he could negotiate with Xian Lin'er to lower the price.

But if you try to negotiate with that stubborn Qian Duoduo, you'll be lucky if he doesn't raise the price, let alone get a discount.

When Xian Lin'er saw Qian Duoduo arrive, she stopped talking to Yan Shaozhe and turned to Qian Duoduo, saying, "Duoduo, you're here."

After greeting Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er said to Yan Shaozhe, "Yan Shaozhe, you should discuss the cost of customizing the soul tools for the inner court students with Duoduo."

After saying that, Xian Lin'er left the office, leaving Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo staring at each other.

Seeing that Xian Lin'er had left, Qian Duoduo chuckled at Yan Shaozhe and said, "Shaozhe, you came to see Lin'er to talk about the money for custom soul tools for inner court students? You should have said so earlier, you're a god of wealth."

"The Martial Soul Department is incredibly wealthy; my Soul Guidance Department relies on your Martial Soul Department's money to pay our salaries."

Yan Shaozhe heard Qian Duoduo's sarcastic remarks and snorted, "Qian Duoduo, you dead turtle, stop your sarcastic complaints about being poor. I know that Elder Lin just gave your Soul Guidance Department a large sum of money."

Qian Duoduo said, "Yan Shaozhe, you don't understand. Researching soul tools is very expensive. Those rare metals are bought from the Sun Moon Empire's black market and other channels, and the prices are very high."

The money given by Elder Lin has been used up to buy rare metals, and there's not much left. My Soul Guidance Department is also lacking blueprints for various high-level Soul Guidance Devices... Sigh, it's a time when money is scarce everywhere.

They're so poor they can barely afford to pay the teachers in the Soul Guidance Department; they're desperately needing money from your Martial Soul Department to tide them over.

After saying that, Qian Duoduo even sighed dramatically, as if the Soul Guidance Department was poor and short of money.

Yan Shaozhe snorted, "Don't try to play the poor card with me. Lin'er and I agreed on the price beforehand, and I'll pay you in full."

Qian Duoduo shook her head. "Lin'er doesn't know the cost of living when she's not in charge of the household. She's only calculating the cost price. The actual price has to include labor costs, wear and tear, machine operation and maintenance... all of these have to be factored in."

After saying that, Qian Duoduo held up five fingers and said, "So, we need to add money. We'll increase the original price by 50%."

Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Yan Shaozhe puffed out his beard, glared, and angrily said, "Qian Duoduo, you're trying to raise the price on the spot! I'm going to find Elder Mu to settle this!"

Qian Duoduo scoffed, "Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who!"

After saying that, the two stared at each other for a moment, then turned and walked out of Xian Lin'er's office, heading towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Meanwhile, in the distant city of Yuming.

Chen Feng visited the commanders of the Fourth and Sixth Reserve Legions of Yuming City.

Both legion commanders were willing to help Chen Feng.

The two legion commanders directed their troops to divide all the towns and villages attached to Yuming City into separate areas.

Each area was guarded by a large number of soldiers. From this moment on, all the people in the affiliated villages and towns of Yuming City were no longer allowed to roam around and were fixed in their designated areas.

Chen Feng said to the two middle-aged men in bright silver armor beside him, "Two legion commanders, that's good enough. Next, gather the people from the villages and towns one area at a time."

This avoids mobilizing too many people at once, which could easily lead to chaos and give evil spirit masters an opportunity to escape in the confusion, and also reduces the pressure on the army.

However, to prevent the evil spirit masters from noticing the commotion and resorting to desperate measures, the two of you dispatched your powerful spirit masters to keep an eye on things.

"Once the evil spirit master realizes something is wrong and tries to escape in desperation, keep an eye on his escape route. I'll chase after him and kill him." The two legion commanders laughed heartily upon hearing Chen Feng's words. "Young brother, you don't need to worry about that. Our army isn't made of clay."

Once that evil spirit master is cornered and tries to escape, you won't even need to lift a finger; our military will kill him. We just couldn't find him before; once we do, we'll tear him to pieces.

Chen Feng smiled when he heard what the two legion commanders said. If he could take care of the evil soul master without lifting a finger, he would be happy to relax.

The army acts swiftly and efficiently. Half an hour later, all the villagers, village officials, and soul masters in the first area had assembled and formed square formations.

Not only were there a large number of soldiers maintaining order, but also powerful Soul Masters from the army on high alert.

The two legion commanders said to Chen Feng, "Young brother, everyone in the first area has gathered here. We'll just wait and see."

Chen Feng nodded, and the next moment, terrifying spiritual power burst forth from between Chen Feng's eyebrows.

Like a surging tide, it swept towards each and every formation.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor in Chen Feng's spiritual sea also assisted Chen Feng in his exploration.

At this moment, the two legion commanders standing next to Chen Feng were taken aback by the terrifying mental power emanating from him.

The commander of the Fourth Reserve Legion exclaimed in shock, "Wow...what terrifying mental power! How can this young man possess such terrifying mental power?!"

This mental strength is truly terrifying. Even Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan probably doesn't possess mental strength as powerful as this young man.

The commander of the Sixth Reserve Legion was also dumbfounded. "I'm afraid this young man's martial soul is a rare spiritual attribute, but even so, it's still too unbelievable."

Under the shocked gazes of the two legion commanders, Chen Feng's mental energy rapidly swept across each squad.

Within Chen Feng's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor said to him, "There are no Soul Masters in these formations; they are all ordinary people."

Chen Feng said, "Examine carefully. Don't judge solely from the fluctuations in soul power. Judge from the strength of the body. I suspect this evil soul master can hide his soul power and even change his appearance."

But other things can be changed, except for his physique, which he absolutely cannot change.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in Chen Feng's spiritual sea quickly scanned the area again.

Chen Feng also arrived at the Soul Master team in this area and checked each Soul Master one by one.

However, the Soul Masters in these villages and towns are all very weak. They are all low-level Soul Masters at the level of Great Soul Master, and their physiques are also in line with their respective levels.

It's impossible that it's that evil soul master, who is conservatively estimated to be a Soul Master.

After Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor scanned again, they still couldn't find any trace of the Evil Soul Master. Chen Feng knew that the Evil Soul Master wasn't here.

After inspecting the area, Chen Feng said to the two stunned and shocked legion commanders, "League Commanders, let's move on to the next area. There are no evil spirit masters in this area."

The two legion commanders exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Feng and said, "Alright, young man, let's head to the next area now."

…………

As one area after another was searched, the search was completed.

Now only three areas remain unexplored.

All the soldiers and soul masters from other areas surrounded the last three areas, completely sealing them off.

That evil spirit master has entered his death countdown...

At this time, Yuming City was subordinate to Tiehe Town.

The most powerful Soul Masters in town gathered together for a chat.

The mayor of Tiehe Town said, "Now the area is completely surrounded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I don't know what the higher-ups are trying to do."

A powerful Soul Master named Shen San said, "Mayor, is there even a question? It must be the big shots up ahead searching for evil Soul Masters. I think with this big commotion, they'll definitely be able to find that despicable evil Soul Master this time!"

"........."

While a few Soul Masters in Tiehe Town were chatting idly.

No one noticed the serious glint in Li Ming's eyes, despite his ordinary appearance.

The evil soul master who had taken Li Ming's place felt agitated as he listened to the words of the other soul masters around him.
