Chapter 291: The nose is probably going to be upturned to the sky (two in one)

If you want to describe the current situation on the continent in one sentence, "a stone stirs up a thousand waves" is definitely the most appropriate one.

Since the evil soul masters began to build cities and greatly improved the public security of the Sun Moon Empire, the seemingly calm Douluo Three Kingdoms have actually become a mess.

Especially with the passage of time, with the unremitting efforts of those spies, more and more information about the Holy Spirit Church began to be placed on the desks of the top leaders of the three empires, and the uneasy mood began to spread among them.

It was not until they saw the information that they clearly realized how far those evil soul masters who had always been ignored by them had developed.

If it had not become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire overnight, they would not even know that there was such a huge organization on the continent.

There are nearly 20 titled Douluos, thousands of evil soul masters with cultivation above Soul Emperor, among which the Supreme Master Ye Xishui clearly has a ninety-nine-level cultivation of the Extreme Douluo.

In addition, there is a mysterious master who is said to be very young and also has the combat power of the Extreme Douluo.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no fear of being attacked by a group, this force is enough to destroy any force including Shrek.

It is precisely because of this incredible information that the three empires that are not on good terms with each other have put aside their past grudges in a rare way and actively invited those prominent forces on the continent to gather together outside the sight of the Sun and Moon Empire for a very private tryst.

As for what was discussed and decided at the meeting, almost no one knows except the leaders of the major forces.

But Xu Jiujiu is obviously an exception. When she learned that Xu Jiawei had returned to the palace, she rushed over as soon as possible.

However, after some understanding, she couldn't help frowning.

"Are you saying that we Xingluo will do nothing next?"

"Well, we Xingluo should not get involved in this matter. The cleaner we get rid of it, the better."

"Why?" Xu Jiujiu asked in astonishment: "Are we really going to let the Sun Moon Empire completely incorporate this force?"

Ignoring his sister's unbelievable expression, Xu Jiawei blew the hot tea in his hand leisurely and gave the answer.

"Because Shrek Academy did not attend the meeting... the young current head of the Sea God Pavilion refused."

"What does this have to do with whether Shrek attends or not."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Xu Jiujiu seemed to realize something and suddenly widened his eyes.

Whether it is the first academy on the continent or a powerful force with a group of Titled Douluo, Shrek could not have not received an invitation to the meeting.

Similarly, after so many years of contact, everyone has seen Shrek's attitude towards evil soul masters.

Not to mention how irreconcilable these guys are with evil soul masters, at least they should be the group of people who least want to see evil soul masters form a scale.

But Zhang Lexuan refused to participate, and the reason behind this is very intriguing...

Thinking of the last Soul Master Competition, Huo Yuhao had used a light gate skill that exuded a deadly atmosphere in front of the Duchess after dealing with her, Xu Jiujiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind for no reason.

This feeling was like grasping some important clues, but she couldn't completely sort out the whole story.

But no matter what, this matter must be related to Huo Yuhao.

"It seems that you have understood?"

Listening to Xu Jiawei's meaningful voice, Xu Jiujiu nodded silently, and asked curiously: "What should we do now? Should we tell Huo Yuhao about the content of the meeting?"

"I'm afraid not."

Xu Jiawei shook his head: "It seems that in order to prevent the plan from being leaked, I was excluded from the plan after I expressed my attitude, and I didn't know the specific content of the meeting at all."

"And if this matter is really related to Huo Yuhao, and he really cares about the attitudes of all parties, the leader of the Sea God Pavilion will definitely attend the meeting and help him find out the information, but the problem is that Shrek has left himself out from the beginning..."

"This proves that the kid doesn't care about our attitude at all."

At this point, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Just like the Duke's Mansion incident, he never cared which side we stood on, nor did he care about our attitude."

"From the beginning to the end, he just gave us a chance not to hinder him."

Xu Jiujiu recalled the beautiful face that was still very clear even after four years of not seeing it, and couldn't help but humming.

"The Duke's Mansion was because he only had to face our Xingluo Empire last time, but this time he has to face the forces of the entire continent..."

"Why?" Xu Jiawei laughed teasingly: "Are you worried about his safety? How about you bring a few worshippers to support him when you lead the team to participate in the competition this time?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Jiujiu seemed to be somewhat tempted, but the next second he met his brother's somewhat ambiguous expression, and he quickly forced his face to tighten, and refuted angrily.

"He didn't ask us for help, why should we support him, and that guy is very powerful, maybe he will dislike us for acting on our own and getting in his way..."

"Okay, okay, you are the leader this time, everything is up to you."

"..."

As if he didn't expect Xu Jiawei to agree so readily, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but choke, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.

Appreciating the other party's stiff expression, Xu Jiawei suppressed his laughter and made another suggestion.

"But judging from the current situation, this trip to the Sun and Moon is destined to be not peaceful. Asking a few worshippers to go with you can also protect the safety of you and the participating team members, right?"

At this point, Xu Jiujiu knew that her little thoughts had probably been seen through by Xu Jiawei. The shame and anger spreading from her heart made her no longer willing to stay in the room for a second, and she slammed the door and left immediately.

"Whatever you want!"

...

Since confessing his identity to Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao successfully graduated and became the youngest researcher in the history of Mingde Hall. In addition, he also has his own experimental base.

And this also means that he has finally bid farewell to the hard days of making parts in Mingde Hall and then secretly taking them back to the dormitory for assembly.

No need to spend energy to deal with Jing Hongchen's inspection, he can start making those top soul guides that can really help him and the people around him.

With the alliance of the Sun and Moon Imperial Family, Mingde Hall and the Holy Spirit Church, the Sun and Moon Empire is now like his backyard. Although he cannot do whatever he wants, at least he will not lack rare metals.

With the blessing of the terrifying reserves, the fire source seized from Xiao Lixuan finally played its due role...

Putting down the soul guide core with nine layers of complicated patterns carved from inside to outside, Huo Yuhao looked up at Ye Xishui who came to his side at some point.

"Is it here?"

"Hmm..."

Taking her eyes off the soul guide core, Ye Xishui unconsciously hummed lightly, and inexplicably felt a sense of unsatisfaction in her heart.

It was like a beginner who was lucky enough to watch a live demonstration of a level nine soul guide. Even though this soul guide core was so complicated that she, a soul guide close to level ten, could not even tell the grade, the artistic carving technique alone had made her gain a lot from this trip.

Just as she was savoring it secretly and immersed in it, she suddenly noticed Huo Yuhao's gradually subtle expression, and her body suddenly shook violently.

Realizing her own gaffe belatedly, Ye Xishui subconsciously coughed twice and changed the subject in a somewhat obvious way: "What's the matter with calling me here?"

"The soul guide I made for you is ready, take a look."

"Oh? If someone hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Ye Xishui's eyes, but she habitually insulted this little bastard who didn't speak human words in front of her all day long: "I thought someone was deliberately doing that to cheat me of my blood soul crystal..."

Before she could finish her words, she was shocked to the point of losing her voice because of the palm-sized, blood-red, and blood-like crystal in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Because she had seen the Rain Sword Heart in Ye Guyi's hand a long time ago, even though she had never seen Huo Yuhao make a soul guide, she still had high expectations for this guy's soul guide technology.

So when Huo Yuhao said he wanted to help her build a soul guide, she not only agreed without hesitation, but also contributed her most precious rare metal, a little finger-sized blood soul crystal.

Blood soul crystal.

Like the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that Huo Yuhao found in the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave in his previous life, it is an extremely rare god-level metal.

It is so rare that even the name "Blood Soul Crystal" was given to it by Ye Xishui after she got it by chance.

Unlike the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is a rare metal that ice-attribute soul masters dream of.

The interior of the blood soul crystal contains extremely rich evil spirits. Just a simple use can provide extremely powerful amplification effects for soul masters with evil spirits in their martial souls. It is a treasure that has a fatal attraction to soul masters like Ye Xishui whose martial souls contain blood evil power.

Even if it is just a small grain like a little finger, even if it has not been made into a soul guide, it can bring a lot of improvement to her as an extreme Douluo. You can imagine how precious this thing is.

The most important thing is that the origin of this thing is extremely mysterious, and almost no one knows how it was formed. As early as when Ye Xishui obtained the blood soul crystal, she had mobilized all her strength to search for relevant information about this thing.

Although it was not in vain, the information she got in the end was extremely limited.

It is said that this thing came from a mysterious organization called the City of Slaughter ten thousand years ago, which was somewhat similar to the Holy Spirit Church. It was a crystal bred by a river in that organization that was completely made of blood.

When it was first discovered, the blood soul crystal was about the size of a baby's fist, lying quietly on the riverbed where the blood had long dried up to black and red, and looked like hell, emitting a strange blood light.

After thousands of years of twists and turns, the rest of this thing has long fallen apart and disappeared, leaving only the one in Ye Xishui's hand.

And the reason why she gave this thing to Huo Yuhao was because she had no ability to perfectly exert the power of this thing with her own soul guide technology. In order to avoid the pearl from being covered in dust, she chose to take this treasure out together.

But what did she see now?

A blood soul crystal as big as a palm! ?

Is this a joke?

Ye Xishui raised her head in disbelief: "Where did you get such a big blood soul crystal?"

"A secret."

This is the horror of the Fire Seed Source. Each rare metal will be clearly marked with a price after being absorbed by it, and it can be re-produced with the same number of points.

Although it seems to be just an additional function of equivalent exchange between rare metals, due to the different production and use, the preciousness of some top rare metals is far higher than the price recognized by the Fire Seed Source.

For example, if Huo Yuhao wants to obtain one kilogram of Sun Refined Gold through the Fire Seed Source, he needs to let the Fire Seed Source absorb about ten tons of refined iron, or one hundred kilograms of mithril, in order to gather the energy of that one kilogram of Sun Refined Gold, and vice versa.

However, if this seemingly equal exchange is put into reality, it is absolutely beyond imagination.

Because the annual output of Sun Refined Gold in the Sun-Moon Empire is extremely low, even less than one hundred thousandth of refined iron, it is the kind of thing that is divided up as soon as it is mined, and it is impossible for any of it to enter the market.

Let alone ten tons of refined iron for one kilogram of Sun Refined Gold, even if it is one thousand tons or ten thousand tons, no one may be willing to exchange it.

Maybe someone would be willing to sell one or two kilograms of it in exchange for gold soul coins, but in everyone's inherent cognition, refined iron itself does not have the qualifications to be exchanged with solar refined gold.

But in Huo Yuhao's place, there is a fixed exchange ratio between the two.

And this is just the solar refined gold, which is rare but has a stable output.

For blood soul crystals, ice crystals, and even gold of living beings, which cannot even guarantee long-term access channels and can only be encountered by luck, the effect of the fire source is even more exaggerated.

Once the characteristics are copied, as long as you are willing to pay enough, these seemingly rare things can be produced continuously.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought of. Even if Huo Yuhao has the rare metal reserves of the entire Sun Moon Empire, he dare not play this way.

As if he had not figured out how to explain it, he scratched his hair as if giving up, and threw the blood-red crystal in his hand at the other party casually.

"This thing is not the blood soul crystal you know. It's a bit troublesome to explain. Anyway, you will know it after you try it."

"What are you doing!?"

Seeing this guy actually throw such precious materials around casually, Ye Xishui was so scared that she trembled all over and instinctively reached out to take it.

It seemed that because he was too excited, this existence with the cultivation of Extreme Douluo was even in a mess for a long time before he could hold it completely steady.

As soon as he got it, Ye Xishui didn't have time to catch her breath, and she noticed that there was something wrong with the blood-red crystal in her hand.

From the little finger-sized blood soul crystal she had before, this thing is normally weightless, and although this one in her hand is not heavy, she can really feel its weight.

The most important thing is that the shape of this blood soul crystal is too regular, presenting a flat diamond-like shape, and the surface is engraved with a core formation that is difficult to detect with the naked eye and looks magical.

A soul guide made of blood soul crystal?

With doubts in her heart, Ye Xishui subconsciously injected soul power into it. As the crystal lit up with scarlet blood light, her aura actually climbed more than one level again.

"This..."

Ye Xishui widened her eyes and stared at the crystal in front of her with a dull look.

"Not only does it have the effect of blood soul crystal, but it also has the soul power affinity of mithril..."

At this moment, she finally understood why the pressure brought to her by Ye Guyi's sword was so much stronger than Kong Deming's level 10 soul guide.

This is simply like the ultimate attribute of soul guides. Even if everyone is engraved with the same core formation, the soul guide made of this material is naturally two levels stronger than other existences.

Seeing Ye Xishui analyzing the characteristics contained in this rare metal that obviously does not look like an alloy, Huo Yuhao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"You should be thankful that you didn't turn the original blood soul crystal into a soul guide. Although it can increase your blood evil power, it contains a toxin that will slowly corrode even the Ultimate Douluo."

"Toxin?" Ye Xishui frowned.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "This toxin is highly addictive and will gradually affect the user's mind. You couldn't fully utilize it before, so each erosion was not strong."

"But if this thing is made into a soul guide, the erosion speed will also be increased to an extremely terrifying level as the utilization efficiency increases."

"Really?"

Ye Xishui nodded thoughtfully, and activated the blood-red crystal in her hand again without hesitation.

"Do you think a crazy woman would care about this?"

". Sorry, I may disappoint you."

Looking at the other party's behavior like a child's anger, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I don't want my useful subordinate to become a lunatic who doesn't understand orders, so I modified it for you."

"Just as you sensed before, while adding some positive rare metal properties, I also removed the toxins."

"Of course, there's no need to thank me. Just work hard for me in the future, Lord of Original Sin."

"Thank you?" Ye Xishui sneered, and couldn't help but glanced at him from side to side: "Dream on."

Looking back at the dark red crystal in her hand, she asked casually: "Its function should not only be amplification, right?"

"Trigger-type soul guide shield, trigger-type mental defense soul guide, milk bottle. Oh, by the way, put it close to your soul core, it can further speed up your soul power recovery speed, and automatically store soul power in the process, without actively charging it."

"."

Ye Xishui was silent. Although she wanted to ask how to make so many functions on this palm-sized crystal, she stopped the words that were about to come out of her mouth when she thought that Huo Yuhao might show a very proud expression.

If this question was asked, the little bastard's nose would be upturned to the sky.

"And."

Just when she was secretly complaining in her heart, Huo Yuhao's voice rang again.

"Because it is the first time to touch the material of blood soul crystal, and you require to play its effect as much as possible, the amplification effect of this soul guide after completion is a little beyond my expectations."

"What?" As if she understood what he meant, Ye Xishui couldn't help asking back: "You were going to keep it to yourself?"

"No." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"I mean, even if you are an Extreme Douluo, you may not be able to withstand the load brought by its full power operation."

"Didn't someone say that he cherishes his life? I was originally going to make a new version with a low upper limit and insurance, but after thinking about it, I decided to give you the choice."

Ye Xishui lowered her eyes slightly and chuckled: "From what you said? Will I lose my life because of this thing?"

"I will die."

"."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's firm answer, Ye Xishui's face did not change at all: "Do you think I will be interested in the low-end version after seeing the high-end version?"

She casually stuffed the blood soul crystal into her collar and stuck it to the position of the soul core. She turned and walked outside.

"And I don't have the patience to wait for you for a few more months."

As the door of the experimental base opened and closed, Huo Yuhao blinked, grabbed the soul guide teacup with a built-in heating function beside him, and took a sip of the tea that was still steaming hot.

Feeling the improvement in his mental strength, which was better than nothing, he couldn't help but curl his lips and looked down at the soul guide material below.

"This effect is not as good as soaking a snow lotus petal."
