Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 522 Huo Yuhao's debt of gratitude can never be repaid

So he nodded and said, "Of course you can keep it for yourself. However, you will need to sell the soul tools you make at Mingde Hall in the future. Of course, don't worry, Mingde Hall will provide you with the method of making soul tools, provide rare metals for free, and give you a 5% cut when you sell your soul tools in the future."

Gao Lou immediately got excited. Everyone knew that Mingdetang's soul tools were extremely popular. Any soul tool, as long as it was labeled as a product of Mingdetang, could fetch several times the price.

A 5% cut is quite a lot; it's enough to make one wealthy.

As long as I get those shares, I can buy more rare metals to make soul tools, and I can also solve the problem of drinking.

This is undoubtedly a favor from Huo Yuhao.

He estimated that he would never be able to repay Huo Yuhao's kindness in this lifetime.

It's not surprising that Gao Lou thought that way, after all, his standard of living had plummeted since his father died.

As time went by, and after squandering the wealth left by his father, he, a dignified Soul Master, was reduced to doing odd jobs in Mingdu City.

Although his reluctance to sell the soul tools he made was partly due to this, he also witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships during his long period of poverty.

This is the first time someone has valued him so much and is willing to treat him so well. How could he not be grateful? He even wanted to serve Huo Yuhao wholeheartedly.

After all, he wouldn't have dared to dream of such treatment before.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he wanted to repay Huo Yuhao's kindness.

Huo Yuhao continued, "By the way, Gao Dalu, there's something else I need you to do."

“Senior Huo, please speak.” Gao Dalou said tactfully.

As a Soul Master who had spent many years in Mingdu City, he was stubborn but still had some emotional intelligence, so he naturally changed how he addressed Huo Yuhao.

Calling him "senior" isn't really a problem. After all, Huo Yuhao enrolled much earlier than Gao Dalu, and calling him that can actually help build a closer relationship.

Huo Yuhao said, "I need you to join a faction I've established and become a member. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the faction, you will also receive some benefits."

“I’ll join.” Gao Dalou agreed without hesitation. After all, with Huo Yuhao’s talent and strength shown in the competition, he would definitely become a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire in the future. Since he had the opportunity to join his team, why should he give it up?
He understands the principle that it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

"However, Senior Huo, I have a question. The organization you created should have a name, right? What's it called?" Gao Dalou asked with some confusion.

"This faction is called the Spirit Pagoda. She will introduce you to the Spirit Pagoda's purpose, benefits, and main tasks later," Huo Yuhao said.

Soon, the female Soul Master from the Spirit Pagoda stepped forward and began to introduce everything about the Spirit Pagoda to Gao Dalou. Gao Dalou listened attentively, and after a moment, he understood what kind of power the Spirit Pagoda was. Then, he couldn't hide his excitement because he learned that the Spirit Pagoda had something called a Soul Spirit, and he also learned about the incredible effects of the Soul Spirit.

As a member of the Spirit Pagoda, one can also obtain souls.

This time, Huo Yuhao truly couldn't repay his debt of gratitude. Aside from his father, this was the first time anyone had ever treated him so well.

Sun and Moon Palace.

Royal Garden.

Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, with Ju Zi pushing it from behind. He looked at the flowers around him that were gradually withering and said with a grim expression, "Ju Zi, you should have received the news as well. The hostages in Sunrise City have been rescued, and the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult has also been captured. These two things have caused me and Zhongli Wu to lose face."

Today in the imperial court, there was even a group of officials who used these two incidents as a basis to say that the Holy Spirit Church was an unreliable partner. Not only could they not even do a good job of guarding hostages, but even a very important saintess in the church had been kidnapped. If the cooperation continued, the rising momentum of the Sun Moon Empire might be interrupted by the Holy Spirit Church.

They also used all sorts of offensive words to provoke me, hoping that I would stop cooperating with Zhongliwu.

"But do I want to cooperate with Zhongli Wu? If possible, I don't want to get involved with evil soul masters who have such a terrible reputation. But I still need the Holy Spirit Cult to help me unify the Douluo Continent. Shrek Academy has a history of ten thousand years and has even produced a god. I don't know if they have other trump cards up their sleeves. With the Holy Spirit Cult around, my chances of unifying Douluo will be much greater."

"Your Majesty, is this why you adjourned court early today?" Ju Zi asked.

“That’s one of the reasons,” Xu Tianran said angrily. “These damned officials are all using this opportunity to trick me into giving them a beating! They just want me to punish them with a beating so that they can improve their reputation among Soul Masters. After all, evil Soul Masters have a very bad reputation among Soul Masters in the Sun Moon region. But how can I let them have their way?”
However, a group of ministers then began to advise me, hoping that I would establish an empress and take concubines as soon as possible. This was the second reason why I adjourned the court early. After all, there were reasons why I had not established an empress or taken concubines for so long.

Ju Zi knew, of course, why Xu Tianran did not establish an empress or take concubines. It was not that he did not want to establish an empress or take concubines, but mainly because he was injured in an assassination attempt years ago and was no longer a real man.

In this situation, once an empress is established and concubines are taken, a suitable person must be found; otherwise, if the news leaks, Xu Tianran's throne will inevitably be unstable.

As for Ju Zi, although she is Xu Tianran's most trusted person, she is currently unable to take over the position of Empress.

In order to win over Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianran has already been trying to get Ju Zi as close to him as possible. He even hopes that the two can start a relationship. How could he suddenly make Ju Zi the empress? Wouldn't that obviously make Huo Yuhao resentful?
He doesn't want that to happen.

However, he has not yet been able to find a suitable empress.

After much thought, he came up with a solution: "Ju Zi, I have an idea. I can arrange for some people to inquire around the imperial clan to see if any of the ignorant princes have pregnant women."

If so, keep a close eye on these women. Once a woman gives birth to a boy, immediately arrest the boy and secretly execute the prince and his woman.

"If I have a son, the ministers' restless minds will be much calmer. As for the child's mother, she is naturally a lover I had outside the marriage, and she has already passed away. What do you think?"

Ju Zi was startled, feeling that Xu Tianran's bottom line was getting lower and lower, but she still said with an appreciative look, "Your Majesty is wise."

Shrek Academy.

Poseidon Pavilion.

In a room filled with light and life, Mu En slowly withdrew his arm, looked at Tang Ya who was fast asleep on the wooden bed, sighed, and said, "Bei Bei, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I can't reverse Tang Ya's evil martial soul. Moreover, I can't restore her memories either. Perhaps, you can restore Tang Ya's memories through love."
