Growing Younger by the Day, a Rank 69 Soul Emperor!

Growing Younger by the Day, a Rank 69 Soul Emperor!

After three months, Li Yusong had changed far more than before.

Most people grew old with time, but that old geezer Li Yusong had become younger and more energetic.

Flender and the others were immensely envious.

They had also tried catching that tonic and drinking it, but it had not produced the slightest effect.

Over the past three months, Li Yusong and the others had continued drinking that tonic, believing it was all due to the medicine.

In truth, it was related to the heart's blood from three months ago, though no one knew that.

Because the heart's blood was so potent, its true effect was to gradually reshape and nourish the body over a long period.

The longer one lived, the more apparent its effects would become.

It could not be taken repeatedly in a short period, so Li Fei had not given them a second dose of heart's blood during these three months.

The effects they saw now all came from that first drop of blood.

The blood within Li Fei's body would also grow stronger as his cultivation improved, and the effects it released would become even more powerful.

After obtaining his third Soul Ring, he planned to give the three people in his family a mouthful of Soul Elder-level heart's blood.

Perhaps it could directly help his grandfather break through to Soul Saint.

"Old Flender, are you going on a blind date? Why are you all dressed up like this?"

When Li Yusong saw Flender's attire, he revealed a surprised expression.

He did not know about the matter between Flender and Li Fei.

After all, it was not something that should be known by others.

"On a whim, I wanted to change my image. Don't think too much about it," Flender said with a chuckle.

"Li Fei said we're going to hunt his third Soul Ring today. How are your preparations coming along?" Flender asked, hoping to use this topic to divert attention from the previous one.

"I'm ready. I just broke through again, and I'm now Rank 69. I'm not far from Soul Saint either."

Li Yusong exposed just a trace of his Soul Power, and it was enough to make Flender look astonished.

"Good lord, what exactly have you been doing? Not only has your whole family become younger and more energetic, even your cultivation speed has become this fast. It's only been three months, and you've broken through several ranks already! That's just insane!"

Flender's mouth twitched.

"Maybe we've entered our second spring. Isn't that a good thing? If we're stronger, Shrek Academy's overall strength will increase too!"

Li Yusong himself was also bewildered. He wanted to know what had happened as well.

"Of course it's a good thing! Then Shrek Academy will have three Soul Saints!" Flender's smile widened, though the envy in his eyes did not lessen in the slightest.

"By the way, where are Jianguo and Su Lan?"

"The Li Family's businesses are growing bigger and bigger. They're busier than before, and recently they've been developing new Soul Master industries."

Li Yusong spoke.

"Oh? Care to tell me about it?" Flender grew curious.

"It's nothing much. We're specifically looking for Soul Masters whose Martial Souls or soul skills can leave their bodies and persist for a long time, then selling their creations. It's the same principle as Shao Xin."

"At the same time, we're developing a service industry for the Soul Master world, providing services specifically for Soul Masters, influential nobles, wealthy merchants, and the like. Fees will be set according to rank, and the Li Family will serve as their protector."

Li Yusong said.

After hearing just that much, Flender immediately felt there was huge potential in it. His eyes lit up as he said, "This industry is indeed novel. Was it another idea of Li Fei's?"

"Yes. We couldn't have thought of it ourselves. It had to be Li Fei," Li Yusong said with a smile.

The Li Family was no longer short on money.

The rich would only become richer.

In this other world without monopoly laws, every idea Li Fei came up with was ruthless. Not only did he want to make vast sums of money, he also wanted to keep acquiring businesses from outside and monopolize the entire market.

Their strength was still insufficient for now, so it was not much of a problem. Once the Li Family as a whole became powerful enough in the future, they would have even less to fear.

They would use all sorts of methods to control those with power and influence.

Then, through various industries, they would control other families and the entire market, reaching a point where they could overthrow a kingdom.

They were still weak for now, so they could not move too quickly. One had to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

"It's still in the trial stage, so there's no rush," Li Fei said with a smile.

He still had countless ideas in his mind for making huge profits and establishing monopolies.

He planned to first bring the Balak Kingdom under control, then slowly encroach upon the surrounding kingdoms and duchies.

After that, he would carry out a strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside and swallow the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Just thinking about it was crazy.

"Is there anything you need me for during this?" Flender intended to get a share of the profits.

Li Fei and Li Yusong had no objection to this, because their plan had always been to bring Flender aboard. They would make money and get rich together, strengthening their ties. Then, they would share both glory and ruin.

"Not only you, but the entire Shrek Academy has a role. You'll be responsible for recruiting these people, promoting the business, and protecting the premises. The profits will be split fifty-fifty."

Li Fei said.

"No time to lose. Let's go hunt your third Soul Ring first. What age do you want for it?"

Flender beamed after hearing that and asked.

"The exact age doesn't matter. As long as it's over ten thousand years, twenty thousand or thirty thousand years is fine."

Li Fei said.

His foundation was solid now. He would first get a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring to fill the slot, then find a way in the future to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb their Soul Rings to increase its age.

He planned to hunt in the sea, because it was the largest gathering place for Soul Beasts in this world and had the richest variety of species.

Before the sea, the Star Dou Forest was merely a little brother.

Increasing a Soul Ring's age required killing many Soul Beasts.

Land-based Soul Beasts were far more limited than those in the sea.

There was another factor to consider as well. If he hunted a third Soul Ring with too high an age now, then when he became a Soul Ancestor, Soul King, or reached even higher ranks, the Soul Rings he needed would require even greater ages. If there were no dragon-type ones, this team alone would not be able to handle it.

After all, he could not guarantee that the Star Dou Forest contained Soul Beasts that fully met his requirements and were related to dragons.

"All right, let's go."

"This time, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and I will take you there. We'll try to find dragon-type ones. If your Eastern Azure Dragon's suppression ability works, it'll be much easier," Flender said.

Having witnessed the power of Li Fei's mutated Martial Soul, he no longer felt much pressure over hunting a high-age Soul Ring for him.

"All right, let's go."

Li Fei nodded.

The four of them took the fastest carriage straight to a Soul Master gathering place at the outermost edge of the Star Dou Forest.

There were countless stalls here, some selling goods and others hiring teams.

Most importantly, every stall now carried Tissue produced by the Li Family.

Seeing this, Li Fei and the others were very satisfied as they walked along the row of stalls.

The better Tissue sold, the more money they would receive.
