Chapter 308 Labor Fee (Two-in-One)

Wait a moment.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly frowned, as if he finally realized the terrifying aspect of Spirit Transferring Pagoda's business.

You only need to strictly abide by the rules set by the Spirit Transferring Tower and pay some money to have your own soul.

At first glance, it sounds like paying to hire a team of soul masters and asking them to take you to obtain soul rings.

This kind of thing itself is not that unusual. Let alone the Spirit Transferring Tower, down to some small sects and up to the top of the continent like Shrek, almost every force composed of soul masters has engaged in this to some extent. type of business.

The difference is that the weak ones charge cheaper and can only take on some relatively low-difficulty tasks, while the strong ones charge more expensively, but as long as they manage enough money, even a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone can be used. All species can be picked up.

Of course, this kind of thing eventually develops into gangsterism due to greed.

Even today, there are still many soul master sects making money from this job.

It's just that compared to before, basically no force dared to take on the task of a hundred thousand year soul beast.

The reason is also very simple, because of the Noumenon Sect incident thousands of years ago.

After these guys killed several hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, they triggered an unprecedented wave of beasts. Although they were successfully resisted in the end, the big forces who had the ability to kill the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts all agreed. Much restrained.

But the problem is that the soul business of the Spirit Transferring Tower is essentially different from this kind of employment mission. What it requires is that the soul beasts that have always been hostile to humans voluntarily sign a contract.

To accomplish the latter, you only need to have strong strength and be able to hunt soul beasts.

But if you want to accomplish the former, having an extremely terrifying background and strength is only the first step.

This was what she couldn't understand.

What does this Spirit Transferring Tower rely on to enable them to do things that other forces cannot do? How can the so-called soul ritual make those soul beasts willingly become souls?

Is it just because you are so powerful that you can walk into the Star Forest with a swagger, take out a rein and put it directly on the soul beast's neck, and people will come out with you obediently and have a blind date with the person who pays you?

What a joke.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by being strong. Considering that most low-level soul beasts have a relatively single mindset, unless they have an extremely high status in the huge group of soul beasts, otherwise

etc.

It has a very high status among the soul beast group.

It doesn’t seem impossible?

For no reason, Jiujiu suddenly remembered what happened in the last competition.

That was the speculation Xu Jiawei told her after she and her brother, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, talked to Huo Yuhao in the room for the first time.

There is probably a force hiding behind Huo Yuhao that scares even Shrek, forcing him to give up his usual neutral stance and pinch his nose to help him handle the incident at the Duke's Mansion.

Combined with the 100,000-year-old soul that Tang Ya showed this time, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

Could it be that the spirit beasts from the Star Dou Forest were the ones supporting this guy from behind?

The more I thought about it for a long time, the more I felt it was possible.

They had been confused by this before.

Shrek's own strength cannot be underestimated. There are only a handful of forces on the mainland that can threaten them. If any force really has this ability, it can put pressure on their Star Luo Empire personally. Why let Shrek do this? Woolen cloth?

Now that I think about it, if this force is located in the Star Forest near Shrek City and has been ignored by everyone, then everything would make sense.

He glanced at Huo Yuhao calmly, sniffing the faint aroma, swallowing silently for a long time, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

The evil soul master, Shrek, the Sun and Moon Empire, and now are even more related to the soul beasts.

How much more of this guy’s identity is he hiding?

If it weren't for the fact that her previous revenge against Dai Hao didn't look like a lie, she would have even wondered if this guy was some sort of soul beast incarnation.

After all, she has never seen anyone so good-looking.

If she had known about Huo Yuhao's life experience and achievements earlier, she would have brought this guy back from the Duke's Palace to the palace to train him personally.

In this way, not only did they gain a genius who could help Xing Luo unify the continent, but they could also prevent this little bastard from becoming as debauched as he is now.

The most important thing is that he can have this little brother all to himself. He can be summoned to the bedroom every day when nothing happens, and he will be beaten...ahem, I'm going too far.

Although he didn't know how a young man from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was related to the Star Dou Forest, this did not prevent Xu Jiujiu from doing something with the answers he had guessed.

For example, the 100,000-year-old soul that people care about the most.

"Well, I still have questions."

After looking around the corridor for a long time to make sure there was no one around, he lowered his voice solemnly.

"According to what you just said, additional fees will be charged to those soul masters with higher requirements. The hundred thousand year soul beasts should also be within the scope of this requirement, right?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile: "That one is very expensive."

There's drama!

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't directly say it was impossible, she subconsciously held her breath for a long time and tried to suppress her excitement. She asked with a trembling voice.

"How expensive is it?"

“Starting at 100 million, there is no upper limit.”

Considering the final price of the Snow Queen when she was treated as a 100,000-year soul beast in the previous life, Huo Yuhao gave a direct answer.

"But I have to pour a basin of cold water on Her Royal Highness the Princess in advance. The intelligence of a 100,000-year soul beast is no less than that of humans, so they will consider the advantages of becoming soul spirits more rationally."

"This means that their hostility towards humans will be inherently much lower than those stubborn low-level soul beasts, but their requirements for the host are often more stringent."

"For example, for normal soul masters, the Titled Douluo is already the top of the top. Those who can step into this realm are all geniuses with strong talents, but most of such beings cannot enter the eyes of 100,000-year soul beasts."

"Unless they are the top geniuses with extremely high talents and compatible with their attributes, there is a slight chance. Of course, the most important thing is to be able to see eye to eye."

This is still an extremely optimistic situation.

Huo Yuhao knew very well that before the life binding effect of the soul contract was truly improved, those 100,000-year soul beasts would almost never choose to become human soul spirits.

Although it seems that many people around him have obtained 100,000-year souls, in fact, most of them come from the 100,000-year immortal grass that will not lose its life even if it becomes a soul.

As for the rest, they either chose the host for Gu Yuena's sake or for their relationship with themselves.

In this regard, those 100,000-year soul beasts are very smart...

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Xu Jiujiu's excitement suddenly cooled down.

She didn't think there was any problem with the price. Although it sounded a bit scary, considering that souls can provide more than one soul ring, this price can be said to be worth the money.

Imagine if you can fuse a 100,000-year soul at the seventh or eighth soul ring, and let it provide two to three 100,000-year soul rings...

Then Xu Jiujiu can only use one word to describe its value.

Beyond imagination.

But a new question arose. Is it really feasible to fuse a 100,000-year soul at the level of Soul Saint or Soul Douluo?

She looked up at Huo Yuhao and asked hesitantly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the team member named Tang Ya was able to fuse a 100,000-year soul ring at the sixth soul ring today should be related to you, right?"

"Even the Golden Dragon Girl of the previous session was the same. No matter how powerful their talents were, they were definitely not so exaggerated that their sixth soul ring could withstand a 100,000-year soul beast."

At first, she thought it was because the soul ritual could increase the upper limit of the soul master's carrying capacity.

But with Huo Yuhao's explanation, she found that things did not seem to be as simple as she imagined.

If the soul can really break through the upper limit, then the tiered charging standard should be formulated according to the age of the soul beast, not the cultivation of the soul master.

In addition, the contestant named Nana, her soul is only 20,000 years old, which is obviously different from Tang Ya.

All signs indicate that this cross-level absorption effect is not inherent in the soul ritual itself.

As expected, Huo Yuhao did not explain after hearing this question, but smiled mysteriously.

"Sorry, this is not for sale. It is a personal benefit given by me to the Spirit Pagoda."

"Can't I buy it with money?" Xu Jiujiu pouted with some resentment: "Maybe I can offer a price that satisfies you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, and his tone sounded like there was no room for negotiation.

"This is no longer something that can be measured with money. I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess also understands how precious a technology that allows a level 60 soul master to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring is."

"...Just pretend I didn't ask."

Glancing at the disappointment that Xu Jiujiu could hardly hide in his eyes, Huo Yuhao realized that the time was ripe, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

He coughed twice, slowly moved to the girl's ear, and whispered softly with words full of bewitching.

"Of course, although this technology is priceless, I am not the kind of person who would keep it to myself."

"Thinking carefully, the princess's cultivation should be close to breaking through the Seven-Ring Soul Saint, right? If the princess is willing to agree to a few things for me, I can open a back door and let the princess experience the internal benefits of the Spirit Pagoda..."

"?"

Listening to the persuasive words, Xu Jiujiu could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then, the roots of her ears turned red.

This, this licentious guy! Sure enough, he has no good intentions!

After pretending for so long, he finally couldn't hold back his nature and was ready to stretch out his claws on me! ?

I don't know if it was because the smell from Huo Yuhao became stronger after the distance was shortened, or because the warm breath hitting her ears was too stimulating, Xu Jiujiu felt that she was inexplicably a little dizzy.

"What, what internal benefits?"

She instinctively wanted to retreat and distance herself, but the unreasonable expectation in her heart prompted her to stop escaping.

It seemed that Huo Yuhao's gaze was too intense. Feeling a little overwhelmed, Xu Jiujiu lowered her head unconsciously, her body trembling slightly.

"For example... a 100,000-year-old soul that is extremely compatible with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Xu Jiujiu's pupils shrank, and she no longer cared about her reserve, and blurted out subconsciously: "Really?"

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's obviously rapid breathing, the arc of Huo Yuhao's mouth could not help but rise again.

"I wouldn't lie to people about this kind of thing."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands: "But Your Highness should also know how difficult it is to find a soul beast that matches the Star Crown Martial Spirit. Those with a cultivation level of 100,000 years are extremely rare."

"As for whether he can possess the seventh, eighth, or even ninth hundred thousand year soul rings in the end, it all depends on His Highness's performance..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and showed a bewildered expression.

"If I remember correctly, none of the past members of the Star Crown Sect seems to have possessed a 100,000-year-old spirit true body, right?"

He took a step forward again, pushed Xu Jiujiu into the corner, and asked with a chuckle.

"Becoming the first person in the Xingguan Sect to pioneer this unprecedented opportunity is right in front of me. What do you think of His Highness Jiujiu?"

"Gu——"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva without any image for a long time.

After finally getting out of the blueprint painted by Huo Yuhao, she bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands, and asked the question with the last of her rationality.

"You, first tell me what you want to promise..."

".It's simple."

Huo Yuhao's smile faded and he said seriously: "I need the Star Luo Empire to publicly recognize the status of the Holy Spirit Cult and give them the same law enforcement rights in the Sun and Moon Empire."

"At the same time, I also need the Star Luo Empire to respond to the rules promulgated by the Spirit Transferring Tower as much as possible in the future, and help supervise those soul masters who possess souls."

"Once poaching, coercion and other phenomena are discovered, the Spirit Transferring Tower and the Holy Spirit Sect need to be notified promptly. When necessary, the two forces must also cooperate with the two forces to encircle and suppress the soul masters who violate the rules."

".ah?"

After being stunned for a long time, he looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief: "Is it gone?"

What's the matter with you, such a dissolute fellow?

Is there something wrong with this script?

Shouldn't I, the princess of the empire, be allowed to wear shameful clothes that look like they have very little fabric and are not even covering the body? Then come to your room in the middle of the night, have my limbs tied up with a humiliating look on my face, and let you do whatever you want with all kinds of methods. , so as to satisfy your abnormal desire to conquer?

"?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to lose his composure.

No, are you asking too little?

Under such conditions, which were no different from stating their stance, did the Star Luo Empire really not hesitate at all?

Is the soul so valuable?

Unable to guess the attitude of the Xingluo Empire, Huo Yuhao couldn't help scratching his hair in confusion: "That's all for now, and as compensation, the Spirit Transferring Pagoda will grant the Xingluo Imperial Family certain privileges."

"In the future, soul masters who come to the Spirit Transferring Pagoda to obtain souls, as long as they hold a certificate issued by the Xingluo Royal Family, the fee charged will be reduced by 10%."

It seems that it only reduces one-tenth of the total price, but if it is placed on some high-end businesses, this is already a quite exaggerated proportion.

Just imagine, if a genius from the Star Luo Empire comes to the Spirit Transferring Tower in the future and contracts a hundred thousand year old soul beast, then this proof can help him save at least 10 million gold soul coins.

And if you think about it from another perspective, the Xingluo royal family can completely use this privilege to earn a certain price difference.

For example, if the price of the certificate is set at 5% of the total price, then the soul master who obtains the soul only needs to spend 5% of the gold soul coins to buy a certificate from the Star Luo royal family, and he can use 90% of the certificate. Get the soul you want at the Spirit Transferring Tower at a reasonable price.

Although there is only a 5% discount, it is enough to make many high-end soul masters flock to it.

Of course, these are things that the Xingluo royal family should consider, and Huo Yuhao has no intention of taking care of them.

Xu Jiujiu had obviously thought of this, and her eyes lit up slightly, but as she met Huo Yuhao's eyes that had no worldly desires, the light in her eyes disappeared visibly.

"I will send a message back about this matter as soon as possible. I believe it won't be long before Brother Huang will give an answer."

Huo Yuhao was even more confused after listening to Xu Jiujiu's businesslike and stiff tone.

What's going on!

Didn't we have a good chat just now?

"Then please trouble Your Highness. If things go through, Your Highness may need to come to the Spiritual Pagoda to stay for a while."

Seeing the confusion on Xu Jiujiu's face, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to explain: "Fusing a hundred thousand year soul is not an easy task. You must be fully prepared."

".I see."

She nodded for a long time. She didn't know why, but looking at Huo Yuhao's dull and confused look, she felt very angry.

As the resentment in her heart reached its limit, she felt as if a string in her mind was broken. An unprecedented impulse surged into her heart, prompting her to pounce directly on Huo Yuhao.

Under the young man's stunned and horrified gaze, her lips finally touched the softness that she had been thinking about for a long time.

She had been wondering for a long time what this guy's lips would taste like.

Now that the opportunity is in front of us, adhering to the scientific spirit of taking problems seriously and obtaining true knowledge through experiments, I have put my arm around Huo Yuhao's neck for a long time, boldly explored, carefully verified, and never let go of every corner.

It took a while and a long time before I came to a conclusion.

I didn’t taste anything, but it felt inexplicably addictive. Maybe I wasn’t ready this time and my sense of taste failed. I’ll try it again next time I have a chance.

"The soul is the reward after the work is completed. What you just paid is the deposit and labor fee that I will be busy working on for you."

While speaking, Xu Jiujiu let go of Huo Yuhao as if nothing had happened.

With her throat rolling, after swallowing everything she had plundered from the other party's mouth, she pretended to be calm and turned away, quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.

"."

Just as Huo Yuhao looked at the moonlight outside the window and doubted her life, an ethereal voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"How does it taste?"

"Ah ah?"

Huo Yuhao trembled all over, looking at Gu Yuena who appeared at some point, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"When did you come?"

"Yeah"

Gu Yuena tilted her head and blinked: "When someone scolded the princess for eavesdropping on conversations, it was not a good habit?"

". Then you were still eavesdropping."

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, silently reached out and put Gu Yuena in his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and just looked at the night outside the window.

With a panoramic view of the brightly lit city outside the window, Gu Yuena's deep eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars. After a long time, she shrank into Huo Yuhao's arms.

"It seems that what you promised me is about to come true."

"It's still early." Huo Yuhao smiled: "According to the progress, it's half and half."

"Do you feel tired?"

"Do you think I look tired?"

"A little." Gu Yuena blinked again: "I was thinking of giving you some labor fees. Don't you want it?"

Huo Yuhao's heart moved, and he subconsciously met Gu Yuena's eyes.

It was as if the eyes could really speak.

Just by looking at it, Huo Yuhao felt his heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

For some reason, he gave the answer: "Yes."

As the voice fell, the two heads approached each other silently.

"Chi"
