Capítulo 1658: Chapter 1611: Conditions of the Tang Sect Branch (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

On the other side, Xu Sheng had already arrived at the specialized reception room with Leng Yaozhu…

After Leng Yaozhu sat down, she said, "Elder Xu, please take a seat!"

Xu Sheng did not hesitate and sat down opposite her…

Then, after looking around, he smiled lightly and said, "Lord of the Cold Tower, the facilities of the Spirit Pagoda seem to be even more luxurious than Shrek Academy."

Leng Yaozhu did not deny this, and with a bit of pride, she said, "Yes! Although we are quite behind Shrek Academy in terms of high-end combat capabilities, in terms of funding, the Spirit Pagoda is indeed one of the top on the Continent!"

After all, the Spirit Pagoda was the only place on the entire Continent that could sell Artificial Spirit Souls, making its accumulation of wealth incomparable to other powers!

As they spoke, she elegantly poured a cup of tea for Xu Sheng and then for herself as well…

After receiving the tea, Xu Sheng casually inquired, "Thank you. However, Lord of the Cold Tower, I'm very curious about something. Why has the Spirit Pagoda forbidden the sale of Artificial Spirit Souls? This seems like a complete loss for the Spirit Pagoda."

Surprisingly, upon hearing these words, Leng Yaozhu picked up her tea cup and took a light sip, letting a strong bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue…

Then she gave a wry smile and said, "Actually, we had no choice but to do so. Because the former Pagoda Master was deceived by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, during that period, all the Artificial Spirit Souls produced were shipped out, leading to the current shortage within the Spirit Pagoda."

"Recently, the price of an ordinary Artificial Spirit Soul with a Hundred Year Cultivation level skyrocketed to over a hundred thousand federation coins due to market demand!"

Xu Sheng mused, "So, you mean to say, in order to normalize the prices, the Spirit Pagoda plans to massively produce Artificial Spirit Souls during this period, right?"

Leng Yaozhu confirmed, "Exactly! Only in this way can we make Artificial Spirit Souls affordable for more Soul Masters!"

Although she was the Pagoda Master, the price of Artificial Spirit Souls was never determined by people but evaluated based on the total output quantity and quality…

Immediately after, a flicker appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Since I've revealed such an important secret of the Spirit Pagoda, Elder Xu, may I ask you a question as well?"

The previous conversation was just a way of building rapport, but now it was time for the reason she had invited Xu Sheng for a chat!

Having anticipated this, Xu Sheng did not refuse, "Of course."

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, "Elder Xu, the soul power fluctuation you emit seems to be only at the Soul Sage level, so why were you appointed as an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion?"

Xu Sheng glanced at her with his dark eyes and shrugged his shoulders, "That question... I'm afraid I can't answer it. Perhaps the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion just find me pleasing to the eye?"

Realizing that Xu Sheng was brushing her off, Leng Yaozhu didn't get annoyed but instead covered her mouth and chuckled, "Elder Xu really knows how to joke. From what I know about the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, they wouldn't simply invite someone to join just because they find them likable!"

Xu Sheng seemed to sense an underlying meaning but still pretended not to understand, "What do you mean, Lord of the Cold Tower?"

Her beautiful eyes suddenly became extremely serious, "To be frank, I'd like to have a brief sparring match with you, Elder Xu."

She was eager to discover why this man, who was only at the Soul Sage level, seemed to be particularly feared by Yun Ming!

Just then, Qiangu Qingfeng suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, instantly attracting the gaze of both of them...

He had to cough and say, "Ahem... Lord of the Cold Tower, please forgive me for intruding without your permission!"

Leng Yaozhu had actually intended to spar with this Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!

Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, indicating it was alright, "It's fine, what is it, Vice Tower Master?"

Qiangu Qingfeng, who had returned to his senses, wore a very solemn expression, "Well…"

…

Right in front of the under-repair Tang Sect's headquarters!

Three Hall Masters were closely watching the scene before them…

Power Hall Master Zhao Song said excitedly, "Looking at the current progress, it should be completed in another month or two!"

Agility Hall Master Liang Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes! Although it's not as imposing as the original Tang Sect, it's still decent enough and won't make people feel embarrassed."

Battle Soul Hall Master Guo Xiaoxu seemed to think of something and frowned, "That's right, most of our Tang Sect Soul Guidance Hall's disciples have been sacrificed under the attack of the Twelfth-Grade Soul Guidance Shell, and we will probably have to start from scratch with the soul tools!"

You should know that besides gathering intelligence, what Tang Sect is best at is soul tools!

Just then, another man sitting beside them, who was buried in thought with his arms crossed, pondered seriously, "Hmm... indeed, it looks like our Tang Sect will also have to learn from Shrek Academy and start open recruitment!"

Zhao Song's eyes lit up, "Hmm? That's not a bad suggestion..."

But after a brief pause, he realized something was amiss and turned his gaze toward the former, confusedly asking, "Wait a second, who are you?"

The other two Hall Masters also noticed this and their cheeks showed a hint of hostility...

The man hurriedly lifted his head and waved his hands, "Don't be nervous, three Hall Masters, it's me, Hu Jie!"

Upon recognizing him, all three Hall Masters opened their mouths wide in shock...

Guo Xiaoxu frowned, "You are... Hu Jie? Where have you been all this time, you rascal?"

Zhao Song snapped coldly, "Exactly, we almost thought you had betrayed the Tang Sect!"

Hu Jie rolled his eyes, "How could I possibly betray the Tang Sect? As for where I've been recently, isn't it obvious? I was of course at the Branch in Xingluo Land!

And I discussed with the person in charge there!"

The three of them wore blank expressions, "So?"

Hu Jie said proudly, "After I explained the situation, they allowed me to lead some disciples who are proficient in soul tools from the Branch to come here!"

Zhao Song and the others had already thought of this when they wanted to reconstruct the Tang Sect, so he specially went to the Branch to seek help!

Immediately, he gave a simple clap of his hands, and the Tang Sect Branch disciples hidden in the shadows all came out...

At a glance, there were roughly hundreds of them!

Liang Xiaoyu asked doubtfully, "Hu Jie... didn't the Branch set forth any conditions?"

Hu Jie gave a wry smile, "Of course, there were! They said that in the future, the Tang Sect in Xingluo Land will become the headquarters, and we here, will become a Branch!"

Zhao Song's eyes widened in urgency and he bellowed, "What! Hu Jie, how could you agree to such terms on your own!!"

To their surprise, Liang Xiaoyu and Guo Xiaoxu didn't react with anger but instead spoke soothingly, "I think it's no problem to do so. If we can't even develop, what's the point of having the title of Tang Sect's headquarters?"

"That's right, we don't have the standing to negotiate terms with the Branch right now, Hu Jie has done his best!"

Hearing this, Zhao Song also gradually calmed down...

Clenching his fists, he said, "I... understand, it's just a bit hard to accept!"

At this moment, they all fell silent...

If the Sect Leader were still here, the Branch wouldn't dare to make such excessive demands!
