After finalizing the plan, everyone began to take action.

However, You Hui wants to visit Dales, she cannot go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. She must first prepare a visiting card and gifts before she can make the visit.

"Speaking of which, Dales is just Baron, right?" Xiao Wu, a little puzzled. "You Hui, you also inherited the title of Baron, right? Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"

"Even among Baron Baron, there are differences in status."

It was Romantina who spoke up to explain, "In the Star Luo Empire, there are actually two kinds of titles: one is for those who hold official positions, and the other is for those who do not."

Without a doubt, You Hui only inherited the title of nobleman and had no real power. The only property she owned was this mansion.

Xiao Wu then asked, "What about the titles from the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"It's the same as here in the Star Luo Empire," Romantina said.

Xiao Wu: "... You really are humorous."

Romantina laughed and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Although they are the same, there are countless people in the Heaven Dou Empire who hold the titles of Baron and Viscount. So, although they are both Baron, most Baron in the Heaven Dou Empire have a much lower actual status than Baron in the Star Luo Empire."

"The difference in status between Baron is also related to whether they hold official positions, how much wealth they have, and whether they have connections with higher-ranking Viscount or Earl Baron, etc."

"Take Dales, for example. As the city lord of Falling Star City, his status is naturally higher than that of You Hui, who also holds the title of Baron. Moreover, he comes from a royal city like Star Luo City. Even if he is ostracized, he still has wealth and connections that are unimaginable for ordinary Baron."

Xiao Wu felt that human society was too complicated, and even Romantina's words left her somewhat bewildered.

Why is there such a big difference when they have the same identity?

"Zhou Qing, aren't you good at using metaphors? Give me some metaphors that I can understand."

"Take Soul Beast as an example. They are divided into ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years, and one hundred Hundred-Thousand-Year. You can associate them with Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, and Duke. Each age limit is a Feng Shui moment. But within the same major age limit, such as ten years, the minimum cultivation level is ten years and the maximum is ninety-nine years. Do you think Soft Bone Rabbit with ten years of cultivation can be compared with Soft Bone Rabbit with ninety-nine years of cultivation?"

After Zhou Qing's analysis, Xiao Wu immediately understood and gave another example, saying, "Does this also apply to the level difference between Soul Master? For example, the difference between Soul Master level eleven and level nineteen?"

That's exactly the point.

Zhou Qing was very pleased with Xiao Wu's ability to apply what she had learned to other situations. "However, the cultivation level and rank of Soul Beast and Soul Master are differences in strength, while the differences between noble titles are not limited to strength. Other factors must also be added, such as connections, wealth, power, and so on."

"Dales ' connections, wealth, and power far surpass those of You Hui. Therefore, You Hui, who is also Baron, needs to be well-prepared when visiting Dales. This is an implicit requirement of the superior to the inferior. It is not explicitly stipulated, but the necessary preparations must be made, otherwise she may not be able to formally meet Dales."

Xiao Wu just wanted to complain, "There are so many damn rules!"

"There are indeed many."

Zhou Qing didn't deny this point, and he also disliked this kind of rule immensely...

While Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina, and Xiao Wu were helping You Hui prepare visiting cards and gifts, Ning Rongrong had already begun her own efforts.

Upon arriving at a busier street, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and meditated on her martial Martial Soul, maximizing her talent for perceiving treasures. Following this perception, she arrived at a certain spot on the street and directly released her Martial Soul and Soul Ring, startling the surrounding pedestrians and vendors into leaving.

Despite Ning Rongrong's young age, the yellow Soul Ring already proved that she was a Soul Master!

Then, Ning Rongrong clapped her hands, summoned the Soul Ancestor who was secretly protecting her, and said, "Let's start digging."

"Dig?"

The Soul Ancestor was taken aback.

"I've heard a rumor that for the past two hundred years, the successive city lords of Falling Star City have been planning the city's road construction, not to regulate the city's order, but to secretly bury several treasures."

Ning Rongrong spoke loudly, attracting the attention of those nearby, "My Martial Soul happens to be able to sense it, there it is down below, hurry up and dig."

Helpless, this Soul Ancestor had no choice but to have his other companions, who were secretly guarding him, come out and buy several shovels, hoes, and chisels from nearby shops to start digging.

This will inevitably disrupt the order of the street, but the Soul Ancestor protecting Ning Rongrong have no choice but to obey.

Dry.

At most, they would be reprimanded by the Sect Leader afterward, with comments such as, "I told you to guard her, not to play pranks with her!" "How could you play along with Rongrong's nonsense?" "Go back and reflect on your mistakes for three days!"

superficial.

I won't do it.

Who knows, this Little Witch might play increasingly outrageous and prolonged pranks on them in the future.

Besides, this is just a small Falling Star City, not an imperial city like Heaven Dou City or Star Luo City. Even if we dig up the whole street, it won't cause any major problems. We can just pay some compensation.

If the lord of this small town heard about it, he might immediately bring people over to dig it up in order to curry favor with their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As the blue bricks were removed one by one, revealing the black soil, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple began to dig. After digging nearly half a meter deep, they finally found a pile of crystal-clear Soul Crystal.

"There are Soul Crystal Mine buried underground?!"

"Idiot! This is clearly a purified Soul Crystal, but most of it is of poor quality!"

"There really was hidden treasure!"

"Wait, these Soul Crystal contain sealed Soul Power..."

The four or five Soul Ancestor continued digging while discussing, but after digging three or five meters in front of and behind the road, they found that the Soul Crystal were gone, leaving only Soul Sand.

"Alright."

Ning Rongrong stopped them and selected one of the hundreds of Soul Crystal that had been dug up. It was the purest one, but only the Soul Crystal of a pigeon egg. She nodded in satisfaction, "This one has a very good shape and can be used to make a button. The other Soul Crystal are not pure enough. Each one is worth at most ten Gold Soul Coin. We don't need them. You can bury them back and repair the road."

The Soul Ancestor: "???"

Meanwhile, the pedestrians and vendors around them stared intently.

What exactly is Soul Crystal?

They don't understand.

One Soul Crystal is worth ten Gold Soul Coin... Even people with hearing impairments could clearly hear it at this moment—this is a chance to make a fortune!

As for Ning Rongrong burying the "money" again...

It's perfectly normal for Soul Master's daughter from a wealthy family to look down on Soul Crystal that are only worth ten Gold Soul Coin, since she has plenty of money and only cares about her own preferences.

But they'd actually like it!

"Let's go to the next location. I need to make a new dress. One suitable Soul Crystal isn't enough. I've heard that successive city lords have been obsessed with burying Soul Crystal, and there are related burial sites in hundreds of areas under the roads throughout Falling Star City." After the large pit in the street was filled back in, Ning Rongrong waved her little hand, beckoning the Soul Ancestor behind her to follow. However, she then seemingly accidentally dropped another bombshell—
