Future Plans: Establishing the Body Hall and Soul Guiding Hall (Please Bookmark and Vote)

"Young Master Ye truly had a keen eye."

Xu Yunchang shook his head with a bitter smile.

He now absolutely dared not underestimate this young boy, who was already the Young Pavilion Master of Mending Heaven Pavilion.

He had merely delivered a few items, yet Ye Ling had sharply perceived that he had a favor to ask. At such a young age, the boy was truly monstrously gifted.

"Xue Ye, the current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, is very interested in the Soul Tools produced by Mending Heaven Pavilion. He wishes to meet with your Pavilion Master. Might your Pavilion Master have the time?"

Even Xue Ye remained extremely cautious toward a force that possessed a Level 98 Super Douluo with Three 100,000-Year Spirit Rings. That was why he had sent Xu Yunchang to test the waters.

However, Ye Ling found it somewhat strange. Why had Xue Ye not directly sent Xue Qinghe to contact him?

Surely he had not already discovered that Xue Qinghe was a counterfeit?

"My teacher is in seclusion within a dangerous land. He has authorized me to make all decisions regarding the Pavilion's affairs."

Ye Ling lied through his teeth with his eyes wide open. What teacher did he have?

All he could say was that, when one was out in the world, one's identity was self-made.

With a Level 98 Super Douluo backing him, even if Ye Ling claimed he had a Level 99 teacher, these people would not dare question him!

"I see."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Xu Yunchang's face.

Having Xue Ye discuss business with a seven- or eight-year-old child was, after all, rather strange.

"There are still some mundane matters within the Pavilion that need handling. After some time has passed, I will personally bring people to visit Xue Ye."

Seeing Xu Yunchang's difficulty, Ye Ling took the initiative to speak.

"Then I must trouble you, Young Master Ye. Please inform me in advance whenever you are available, and I will make the arrangements."

Ye Ling nodded at his words.

Since the matter had been settled, he naturally did not stand on ceremony and reached out to put away the Starlight Sapphire.

Xu Yunchang personally saw them off, respectfully escorting the two of them to the entrance of the Grand Auction House. He also personally handed Ye Ling the proceeds from the auction of the Destroyer Hand Cannon.

"By the way, Boss Xu."

Ye Ling played with the gold card in his hand as he asked.

"Who was in Private Room Number Two? Who was willing to spend over a million Gold Soul Coins to buy that Destroyer Hand Cannon?"

"It was Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Xu Yunchang answered.

"So that was it."

Ye Ling smiled. Just as he had expected.

If one had to say which sect benefited most from the emergence of Soul Tools, it was undoubtedly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Having learned what he wanted to know, Ye Ling no longer lingered at the Grand Auction House. With a flash, the two vanished from the spot.

"It seems another storm is about to rise across the continent."

Watching the direction in which Ye Ling and Du Busi had disappeared, Xu Yunchang let out a heavy sigh.

"Wait, weren't we supposed to meet Elder Kong and the others at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Why did we come here?"

Du Busi looked at the residence where they had first settled upon arriving in Heaven Dou City and asked Ye Ling in confusion.

"There's an old acquaintance waiting for you inside."

Ye Ling pointed at the gate and gave Du Busi a meaningful look.

Du Busi pushed open the gate suspiciously.

He saw a tall old man standing in the courtyard. At first glance, Du Busi felt that the man looked familiar.

Before he could think carefully, the man suddenly turned around.

"Old Jin?"

"S-Sect Master?"

Two surprised voices called out at once, one from each of them, carrying a feeling as though a lifetime had passed.

The next moment, Ye Ling's vision blurred. A tremendous crashing sound rang beside his ears, and the violent airwave even caused the entire house to tremble slightly.

Du Busi and Jin Peng, who had been some distance apart moments ago, were now embracing each other.

Neither spoke. They merely patted each other hard on the back, tears faintly glimmering in their eyes.

Friendship between men was just that simple, so simple that no further words were needed.

This was even more true for Du Busi and Jin Peng, who had shared over a century of friendship.

After a long while, the two finally released each other.

"Sect Master, I never thought you would come to this era as well. I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."

Jin Peng let out a long sigh and wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

Back then, he had personally witnessed Du Busi self-destruct and die in Mingdu.

"There's no need to call me Sect Master anymore."

Du Busi was equally filled with emotion.

"I'm now a Chaplain of Mending Heaven Pavilion. Just call me Old Poison from now on."

As he spoke, Du Busi pointed at Ye Ling again.

"This is the master of our Mending Heaven Pavilion, Ye Ling. Just call him Young Pavilion Master from now on."

Those summoned by the system were granted loyalty toward Ye Ling, and Jin Peng was naturally no exception.

"Greetings, Young Pavilion Master."

Jin Peng hurriedly bowed slightly to Ye Ling.

"You're too courteous, Elder Jin."

Ye Ling quickly helped Jin Peng up.

"I know the two of you have much to talk about, but we should first head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to meet up with Elder Kong and the others."

"Elder Kong?"

Jin Peng looked at Du Busi in confusion.

"Kong Deming. That fellow who's particularly skilled with Soul Tools is here too."

Du Busi explained.

Jin Peng nodded in understanding.

Now that they had found Jin Peng, the three of them did not linger any longer and immediately headed toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

With two Super Douluo carrying Ye Ling, who could use Instant Movement without consuming Soul Power, the three arrived inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

"Looks like everyone's here."

The moment he landed, Ye Ling spotted the middle-aged man standing beside Kong Deming.

"Teacher Xuan, with you joining Mending Heaven Pavilion, Elder Kong's burden will be lighter in the future."

Ye Ling stepped forward and firmly grasped the middle-aged man's hand.

"Xuan Ziwen greets the Young Pavilion Master."

Feeling Ye Ling's enthusiasm, Xuan Ziwen smiled a little more warmly as well.

"This is Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng. He has now also become a member of our Mending Heaven Pavilion."

Ye Ling pointed at Jin Peng, who stood beside Du Busi behind him, and introduced him to everyone.

Jin Peng exchanged greetings with everyone, formally getting acquainted with them.

Including Dugu Bo, Ye Ling's Mending Heaven Pavilion now possessed four Titled Douluo.

"Now that we have Elder Jin and Teacher Xuan, many of our future plans have the foundation to be realized."

Ye Ling first turned to Kong Deming and asked.

"Elder Kong, has my Alchemy Furnace been completed?"

"It has been completed. Due to time constraints, though, the finished product is only a Level 8 Soul Tool."

Kong Deming sounded somewhat regretful.

As the world's only Level 10 Soul Engineer, crafting a mere Level 8 Soul Tool was truly rather embarrassing.

"It's fine. Thank you for your hard work, Elder Kong."

Ye Ling turned to Dugu Bo, who had remained silent.

"Senior Dugu, bring your granddaughter here tomorrow. I'll resolve the issue of the Martial Soul Toxin Reversal in her body."

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then quickly nodded.

He had not expected Ye Ling to address his granddaughter's issue first during such an important meeting.

In truth, Ye Ling mainly wanted to complete the mission and see what exactly was inside the Mysterious Gift Package rewarded by the system.

"Teacher Xuan understands the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda best. Assist Elder Kong and quickly develop Soul Tools suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that can be easily mass-produced."

"Our first partner afterward will be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ye Ling said to Kong Deming and Xuan Ziwen.

"Yes!"

The two nodded at the same time.

"Old Poison and Elder Jin, your task remains the same."

"There are many commoners with Body Spirits in Heaven Dou City. Make contact with them. Once we have territory of our own, we can bring them all into Mending Heaven Pavilion."

Du Busi and Jin Peng both acknowledged the order.

"Mending Heaven Pavilion will now establish the Body Hall, with Du Busi serving as the Grand Enshrined of the Martial Soul Hall and Jin Peng as an elder."

"We will establish the Soul Guiding Hall, with Kong Deming serving as the Grand Enshrined of the Soul Guiding Hall and Xuan Ziwen as an elder."

"Do you all understand?"

Ye Ling swept his gaze around. Despite his young age, he already carried the bearing of one in authority.

"Yes, we obey!"

Du Busi led Jin Peng, while Kong Deming led Xuan Ziwen, and they bowed to Ye Ling at the same time.

Only Dugu Bo was left standing there in complete confusion.

Wait, wasn't Ye Ling the Young Pavilion Master?

Why did it look like he wielded as much authority as the Pavilion Master himself?
