Chapter 133: Spirit Hall in Old Jack's Mouth, and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone!
It was as if Hu Bai's luck was working, for at that moment, an old voice rang out: "Xiao San, Xiao San, why are you alone on the back mountain? Alas, Tang Hao is really something, leaving you at home for so long."
Tang San opened his eyes. The person who had come was Old Jack, but he did not like to hear Old Jack badmouthing his father.
"Xiao San, I brought some things to your house. Come with me."
Tang San, who was about to flare up, stopped himself upon hearing this.
Old Jack walked along, saying, "Xiao San, let me tell you, Spirit Hall's policy towards us has improved. Originally, only Soul Masters willing to join Spirit Hall could receive subsidies, but now, even we ordinary commoners can get them."
"Moreover, Spirit Hall has recently been sending people to build roads, bridges, and houses in various villages. They've also recruited young adults from our village to help, and the pay is quite good!"
At this point, Old Jack sighed and said, "I really hope that our village can produce more talented Soul Masters in these years. I hope they can join Spirit Hall and be of some help—that would be even better."
Old Jack kept muttering beside Tang San.
This muttering also allowed Tang San to learn some news about the outside world. It turned out that in this world, one can awaken their Martial Soul at the age of six and then begin to cultivate formally. He wondered what his Martial Soul would be.
Also, Spirit Hall is so good to commoners. What kind of vision does the leader of Spirit Hall possess?
Although Tang San is currently a commoner, he cannot truly associate with these villagers. His current situation is merely because he is too young.
Once he is older, he can make a living by forging, and he can also create Hidden Weapons to supply various forces. With capital, he could even establish his own Tang Sect here!
"I didn't expect the reputation of our Spirit Hall to have spread to such a remote village," Yue Guan and Gui Mei both exclaimed with emotion.
For these untalented commoners, young adults can be recruited to work, which is a form of work relief.
As for the elderly aged fifty-five to sixty and above, Spirit Hall provides them with a subsidy of one silver coin each month.
Although it's not much, one silver coin can provide an elderly person with enough food and drink for a month without worry.
After all, one gold coin can supply a family of three with several months' worth of food.
From this perspective, one silver coin, if not squandered, can ensure an elderly person is well-fed and has a balanced diet.
This is a great boon for commoners, as the elderly usually only do farm work and don't earn much throughout the year, often relying on their children for support.
The lives of commoners during this period were still very difficult. Just looking at Tang San, who was three years old, his whole body was sallow and emaciated, clearly lacking nutrition.
If it weren't for his Mysterious Heaven Skill, it would have been impossible for him to have Innate full soul power. He would likely have been like Huo Yuhao, with only level one soul power at birth, at most not exceeding level three.
"Good opportunity. While Tang Xiao isn't here, let's act quickly," Hu Bai said.
Then the three of them appeared in the back mountain.
"Xiao Bai, can you sense where that treasure is?" Yue Guan asked curiously.
In private, Hu Bai did not like Yue Guan and Gui Mei calling him Your Highness Saint; it seemed too formal.
"I'll try."
Hu Bai then began to mobilize the surrounding earth elements. Soon after, an exquisite box broke out of the ground not far away, slowly floating in front of him.
Hu Bai opened it, revealing a Soul Bone glowing with a blue-gold light inside.
"Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone!" Yue Guan and Gui Mei both couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. Since the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone appeared here, it meant that Tang Hao indeed resided here.
Now, they both fully believed what Hu Bai had just said, as the evidence was here, making it easier to convince others.
Moreover, Tang San's surname is Tang, the same as Tang Hao's!
"Xiao Bai, this Soul Bone is more suitable for you. Let's find a place first, and then you can absorb it." Yue Guan and Gui Mei's eyes revealed excitement, but they had no greed for this Soul Bone. They were very clear about their own positions.
They were content as long as they could follow Hu Bai.
Ling Yuan admired Hu Bai's abilities more and more. She was determined to serve Hu Bai well!
She really wanted to improve!
Unfortunately, if it weren't for their Holy having a fiancée already, she would even think about trying to seduce him.
After all, she had noticed something: although Hu Bai had Qian Renxue, he also had Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling by his side, and Qian Renxue didn't seem to reject their presence. A few of them got along very harmoniously.
Generally speaking, how could the proud Qian Renxue be like this? But Hu Bai was no ordinary person.
There could only be one main wife, but multiple concubines were possible.
She didn't know what Hu Bai was thinking.
"Mm, I know, but there's still something else here. Just wait for me a moment."
The yellowish-brown light surrounding Hu Bai instantly turned green. Guided by these elements, Hu Bai quickly arrived at a damp cave.
The cave was filled with Blue Silver Grass inside and out. Hu Bai quickly noticed that the leaves on one of the Blue Silver Grass plants looked very different, with blue-gold stripes.
Blue Silver Emperor!
Hu Bai slowly approached her, squatted down, and gently stroked the leaf. It was very soft, and Ah Yin seemed to sense something—her leaves shook violently.
Although she didn't know who Hu Bai was, she recognized Yue Guan and Gui Mei, people from Spirit Hall!
Moreover, Yue Guan was holding the box containing her Soul Bone!
Suddenly, Ah Yin felt like it was over!
She wondered how Tang Hao was doing.
She knew that Tang San was currently safe in the house, but what about Tang Hao?
Tang Hao had been out for a long time and hadn't returned. Could it be that he had already...
A bit of moisture suddenly appeared on Ah Yin's leaves, clearly indicating she was crying.
"Xiao Bai, is this the Blue Silver Emperor who sacrificed herself for Tang Hao back then? I didn't expect Tang Hao to plant her in such a place that is not conducive to plant growth. It's only because Blue Silver Grass has tenacious vitality—otherwise, no plant Soul Beast could survive here."
Yue Guan looked at the plants inside the cave, which were mostly mosses. They were just ordinary plants, not even reaching the level of Soul Beasts!
