—------------------—
Qian Renxue came to the Soul Palace this time actually on Xue Ye's orders.
There is a new force with Titled Douluo near Tiandou City, and Emperor Xue Ye is both happy and worried.
The Tiandou Empire faces pressure from the Spirit Hall outside, and the existence of the three upper sects inside.
Although the Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion, Xue Ye is also worried about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
Even though the Tiandou royal family and the Qibao Liuli Sect have a good relationship, they still need to be wary of each other.
With the addition of a force with a Titled Douluo, Xue Ye will have more room to maneuver and one more option for forming alliances.
But he was worried that the Soul Palace was a newly established force that was not very reasonable and would rely on its strength to disobey the rules, which would cause him a headache.
After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Xue Ye asked Prince Xue Qinghe to come and find out the bottom line of the Soul Palace, and more importantly, to see Xiao Mu's attitude towards the Tiandou Empire.
Qian Renxue came alone.
He didn't bring the Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo who had been following him.
Although as long as a Titled Douluo is determined to hide his strength, even people at the same Titled Douluo level will find it difficult to discover his strength.
But Qian Renxue attached great importance to the Soul Palace and was worried that the Soul Palace had special ways to discover the strength of Thorny Porpoise Douluo and others, so she simply asked them to wait outside.
After a few pleasantries, Qian Renxue got straight to the point:
"Palace Master Xiao, are you willing to allow Soul Palace to become the guardian sect of our Tiandou Empire? We will fully support the development of Soul Palace. Whether it's medicinal herbs or other resources, we will do our best to help Soul Palace find them."
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly when he heard Qian Renxue's words, but soon relaxed again.
Ning Fengzhi thought he had some understanding of Xue Qinghe's character and felt that he should not be such a reckless person as to directly put forward such conditions.
But although he is Xue Qinghe's nominal teacher, he is also the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
If the relationship between the Soul Palace and the Tiandou Royal Family becomes alienated due to Xue Qinghe's recklessness, it will be a good thing for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Sure enough, Xiao Mu said:
"I appreciate the prince's kindness, but the Soul Palace will not depend on anyone."
Xue Qinghe looked disappointed.
"That's a shame, but even so, if the Soul Palace needs anything, you can always come to me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
When Xue Ye sent Xue Qinghe here, he told him to try his best to establish good relations between the Soul Palace and the royal family if possible.
But it is definitely not the case that Xue Qinghe should make such a request right away.
This was all done intentionally by Qian Renxue. How could she possibly help Xue Ye increase his strength and create trouble for herself in her quest for the Tiandou Empire?
Far from being disappointed by Xiao Mu's rejection, she felt it was just what she wanted.
If she could build closer ties with the Soul Palace in her personal capacity, perhaps she could get the Soul Palace to help her.
"This is a small gift from me. I hope Lord Xiao will accept it."
The gift was taken by Qian Renxue from the royal collection, and it was also a precious medicinal herb.
However, when she gave the gift, she skipped the Tiandou royal family itself and instead emphasized that it was her personal intention, using public property to leverage her own connections.
"Okay, then I'll respectfully obey."
Xiao Mu accepted the gift with a smile, but did not give any gift in return.
After noticing this, Ning Fengzhi unconsciously smiled.
It seems that compared to the Tiandou royal family, Xiao Mu is more willing to make friends with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Qian Renxue was also very satisfied. She didn't care about returning the gift, as long as the goal of this trip was achieved.
…
"Huo Yuan, I need to make an elixir. If anyone comes to visit me this afternoon, please turn them away for me."
After seeing Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe off, Xiao Mu gave instructions.
"yes."
After returning to the alchemy room, Xiao Mu did not start refining the elixir immediately, but took out a third-level soul-breaking pill.
This is the most perfect of all the third-level soul-breaking pills refined by Xiao Mu. Three cloud patterns surround the pill like real auspicious clouds.
Xiao Mu's soul power is at level 35, which is just suitable for taking this pill.
Just when Xiao Mu was refining the power of the Soul-Breaking Pill, someone else came outside the Soul Palace.
"Tian Heng, is this the Soul Palace? This shabby place is not even as good as our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's villa."
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was farther away from Tiandou City, and received the news of the auction a little later, so they did not have time to witness the scene of the Soul Palace slaughtering everyone last night.
Moreover, compared to Ning Fengzhi, who was given great importance, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family obviously did not attach enough importance to the Soul Palace and only sent one elder.
"Elder, this is it. It is said that many soul masters died outside the Soul Palace last night, and a Titled Douluo appeared in the Soul Palace. Shouldn't we pay more attention to it and at least bring some gifts?"
Yu Tianheng also heard about what happened last night from hearsay, but he was more cautious.
Yu Quanfeng said, "It's just a newly established force. My personal visit to them is already a sign of great importance."
"As one of the three great sects, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan cannot allow the Sect Master to personally meet a junior."
As a Soul Douluo elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yu Quanfeng has always been proud of his origin. Except for the Spirit Hall and the other two of the three upper sects, he has always been dismissive of other forces.
Moreover, he did not witness Yang Ziqi's attack last night, so he was skeptical about the Soul Palace having a Titled Douluo.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm here to buy the Soul Breaking Pill. After all, I'm a guest of the Soul Palace."
Seeing that Yu Tianheng was still a little worried, Yu Quanfeng said.
If Yu Tianheng was not the grandson of the clan leader, Yu Quanfeng would not bother to talk nonsense. Instead, he would think that Yu Tianheng was hesitant and had lost the momentum of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Zong Yuquanfeng has come to pay his respects to the Soul Palace Master."
Outside the Soul Palace, Yu Quanfeng saw that there was not even a gatekeeper, and he looked down on the Soul Palace even more.
Since no one came to greet him, he had to introduce himself.
"Why are you shouting?" Huo Yuan said dissatisfiedly.
Whether it was the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, they were all polite when they came, and none of them was as arrogant as Yu Quanfeng.
Yu Quanfeng was even more dissatisfied than Huo Yuan.
As an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he was flattered wherever he went. Even if he went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, at least there were people who greeted him politely.
But when he arrived at the Soul Palace, not only was no one there to receive him, but he was even scolded when he introduced himself.
However, he at least remembered that the Soul Palace might have a Titled Douluo, so he did not attack immediately.
"I am Yu Quanfeng, an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. I have come to see the Soul Palace Master to purchase the Soul Breaking Pill."
After hearing what Yu Quanfeng said, Huo Yuan became even more disdainful.
If it were in the past, even if her strength was not much weaker than Yu Quanfeng, the strength of the Fire Leopard Sect was much weaker than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, so she could only be inferior to them.
But now she is from the Soul Palace.
The Soul Palace has two Super Douluos, while the Thunder Tyrant Clan has only one. Why do they act so superior?
"The Palace Master has ordered that no outsiders will be seen today. If you wish to request an audience, please come back tomorrow."
"Also, if you want to buy the Soul Breaking Pill, you can wait for the auction at the Tiandou Auction House."
Even Ning Fengzhi didn't ask to buy the Soul-Breaking Pill, so why would a mere Yuquan Peak ask for it?
"you..."
Yu Quanfeng was shaking with anger.
The people in the Soul Palace are so rude.
