The next day!
Spirit Pagoda!
Bi Ji led a portion of the Soul Beast Legion's Soul Masters to the Spirit Pagoda's distant headquarters.
The Spirit Pagoda members responsible for guarding the place stopped them immediately upon seeing their large numbers...
They looked at Bi Ji, who was leading the group, with a wary expression and said, "Hold on, what are you here for?"
With so many Soul Masters arriving at once, they naturally had to ask!
If these were evil Soul Masters or held malice toward the Spirit Pagoda, the consequences of letting them in would be unimaginable!
Without changing her expression, Bi Ji said, "Please let them know we have come to purchase Spirit Souls."
As expected of the Spirit Pagoda, their defenses were indeed strict!
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she believed that if she made a move inside the Spirit Pagoda, she would immediately incur the assault of powerful soul weapons!
Upon hearing this, the guards relaxed slightly, but they didn't drop their guard, "Purchase Spirit Souls? Your group is too large, choose a few representatives to enter!"
Bi Ji didn't hesitate and casually selected a few people to enter the Spirit Pagoda...
The receptionist at the front desk showed a formulaic smile, "Hello, how may I help you?"
Bi Ji casually said, "We want to buy some Spirit Souls!"
The receptionist immediately said, "Purchasing Spirit Souls? Please, come with me!"
After saying that, she led them to the area where Spirit Souls were sold...
Upon looking, there were dozens of containers displaying various Spirit Souls!
The receptionist explained, "These are newly created Artificial Spirit Souls, available at ten-, hundred-, thousand-, and ten thousand-year levels. The price will increase according to the lifespan of the Spirit Souls."
Bi Ji nodded slightly, "Indeed not bad, but do you have anything else?"
The receptionist was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Do these Spirit Souls not meet your expectations?"
Bi Ji explained calmly, "No, our legion needs a large batch of Spirit Souls. This amount is far from enough!"
Upon hearing this, the receptionist understood...
"Please wait a moment, let me report this!"
She took out a communicator and made a call...
After waiting a few minutes, she hung up and said with respect, "I'm not authorized to handle an order of this size, please come with me to see the Pagoda Master!"
Bi Ji, of course, could not refuse, for this was her purpose!
Afterward, she waited in the Spirit Pagoda's rest area...
With a "crack," the door was pushed open...
Leng Yaozhu stepped into the rest area, exuding an air of elegance...
When she saw Bi Ji sitting on the sofa, her beautiful eyes flickered. She extended her hand and said, "Hello, I am the Spirit Pagoda's master, Leng Yaozhu."
Bi Ji stood up as well and briefly shook her hand, "Lord of the Cold Tower, I've long heard of your reputation!"
Once they sat down, Leng Yaozhu went straight to the point, "I've been informed by one of our Spirit Pagoda members that you're looking to purchase a batch of Spirit Souls?"
Bi Ji nodded, "Exactly! Surely the Spirit Pagoda has sufficient stock, right?"
Leng Yaozhu stated calmly, "The Spirit Pagoda does indeed have them, but I need to understand why you need so many Spirit Souls!"
Only the federation and first-rate forces could purchase so many Spirit Souls in one go!
She was curious as to where this woman came from and what she planned to do with these Spirit Souls?
Seeing the sharp look in her eyes, Bi Ji said word by word, "Many members of our legion are on the verge of breakthrough, so we need a large supply of Spirit Souls!"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her thin lips, "A legion? May I ask which legion you hail from? I am familiar with all the legions on the Continent and I might know it!"
Like the colossal legions similar to War God Hall, they had already signed certain agreements with the Spirit Pagoda, and would deliver a set number of Artificial Spirit Souls on schedule...
There would be no need for them to go to the Spirit Pagoda in person to purchase them!
That would mean... this legion is either a third-rate force or a newly rising first-rate power!
And there has been only one newly rising legion recently!
Bi Ji fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Our legion was only established a few years ago and doesn't have much fame, so Lord of the Cold Tower probably hasn't heard of us!"
Leng Yaozhu already had an answer in her mind and did not continue to inquire, but instead started discussing the specifics of this transaction...
"So, may I ask how many Spirit Souls you specifically need?"
Bi Ji thought it over, "Roughly two to five thousand. We can pay a deposit first!"
...
And so, after the transaction was concluded, Bi Ji led the members of her legion away from the Spirit Pagoda...
It was then that Qiangu Qingfeng approached Leng Yaozhu with a grave expression, "Pagoda Master, I'm afraid this woman's legion is likely the very one we've been paying attention to before!"
They had not expected the other party would take the initiative to reach out to the Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu responded calmly, "Yes, at the moment, we still cannot discern the intentions of this legion, but if they are simply purchasing Spirit Souls, then naturally it is a mutually beneficial arrangement for both parties."
"If they have ulterior motives..."
Qiangu Qingfeng shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case. I have carefully investigated, and War God Hall made contact with this legion even earlier than us, and it seems they've reached some kind of cooperation as well!"
At least, it can be proven that this legion has no connections with the Holy Spirit Cult!
...
Several weeks later!
Tang Wulin had gradually grown accustomed to the duels within the Star Dou Battle Network, and had even achieved several victories in Mecha fights!
Officer Jiang Qiyue, who was beside him, said with a touch of envy, "Wulin, you really are impressive, managing to win several fights in a row!"
Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter? Officer Jiang, have you lost?"
Jiang Qiyue nodded, "Yes, I lost the Mecha battle I signed up for, but I'm still continuing in the Soul Master Battle!"
In Mecha fights, she was naturally not as skilled, and as the opponents became stronger, she found she could barely defend herself!
So she had simply given up on Mecha battles to focus entirely on Soul Master Battles!
Just then, the dormitory door was violently kicked open, and Jiang Wuyue stared at Tang Wulin with a furious expression, "Tang Wulin! That Xiao Tang who just defeated me must be you, you bastard!"
Catching sight of this, Jiang Qiyue expressed with surprise, "Brother?"
Jiang Wuyue was also taken aback for a moment, "Sister, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Qiyue didn't bother to disguise her intentions and shrugged, "Wulin said I could borrow his Star Dou Cabin, so I didn't feel like queuing!"
Jiang Wuyue shook his head and returned his gaze to Tang Wulin, grinding his teeth, "Never mind that for now, Tang Wulin, the Xiao Tang who just fought against me in the battle, was that you!"
Tang Wulin was about to categorically deny it...
When Jiang Qiyue inadvertently chimed in, "Xiao Tang seems to be Wulin's nickname. Brother, could it be you've encountered each other so early on?"
Jiang Wuyue said resentfully, "Exactly, because of this guy, I lost the Soul Master Battle!"
This guy, instead of sticking to his Mecha battles, what is he doing in the Soul Master Battles!
And to make matters worse, he ran into me!!
