Wealth Authority, Qian Renxue Falls in Love

When the message reached Heaven Dou City, Tang Yuehua was so angry that she trembled all over.

"How dare they!" Tang Yuehua paced back and forth in the elegant room of the Moonlight Pavilion, her dignified and beautiful face twisted with anger. "The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and those kingdoms, how dare they treat the Clear Sky Sect like this!"

When my Clear Sky Sect was once a powerful force across the continent, who among them didn't treat us with utmost respect? Now that the Clear Sky Sect is temporarily closed, they're all kicking us when we're down. It's utterly despicable and shameless!

"Young Miss, please calm down." An aged voice came from the corner.

The speaker was an elderly man over seventy years old, with white hair and beard, and a hunched back, but with a very powerful aura.

He was Tang Yun, Soul Douluo Clear Sky Sect to protect Tang Yuehua. He had been stuck at level 89 his entire life and had no hope of breaking through.

"Calm down? Uncle Yun, how can you expect me to calm down?" Tang Yuehua turned around, her eyes reddening. "The Breaking Clan betrayed the sect, the Pill Tower publicly humiliated the Clear Sky Sect, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family kicked them when they were down, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect changed sides with the wind. These people have all ridden on the Clear Sky Sect's head. How can you expect me to calm down?"

Tang Yun sighed and slowly stood up.

"Young Miss, if I may say something unpleasant," his voice was hoarse and deep, "A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; this is an age-old truth."

Our Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and its influence on the mainland is no longer what it used to be.

Although the Pill Tower has only been established for a few years, it has the support of the Angel Lineage and the Worship Hall, and now it controls the strategic resource of elixirs. Which power on the continent wouldn't curry favor with them?

Tang Yuehua bit her lip and remained silent.

Tang Yun continued, "When you relayed the message back to the sect, the sect leader was so angry that he issued a 'kill without mercy' order, which triggered a full-scale counterattack from the Pill Tower."

Ultimately, the root of this matter lies in the sect underestimating the strength and influence of the Pill Tower. You should refrain from sending these matters to the sect in the future to avoid causing further trouble.

"Are you blaming me?" Tang Yuehua suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I dare not blame Miss." Tang Yun shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I just feel that some things are better left unsaid; sometimes, patience brings peace, and sometimes taking a step back opens up a vast expanse."

What the Clear Sky Sect needs now is to recuperate and build up its strength, not to engage in a direct conflict with the Pill Tower over the sake of the Breaking Clan.

Tang Yuehua opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself unable to speak.

She wasn't stupid; Tang Yun's words, though unpleasant, were all reasonable.

The Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and its contact with the outside world has become increasingly weak.

Meanwhile, the Pill Tower was at its zenith, controlling the most sought-after pill resources on the continent, and even the Spirit Hall had to give them some face.

In this situation, if the Clear Sky Sect were to clash head-on with the Pill Tower, the Clear Sky Sect would be the one to suffer.

However, she simply couldn't bring herself to swallow her anger.

"Are we just going to let this go like this?" Tang Yuehua said through gritted teeth. "The Breaking Clan betrayed the sect, Yang Wudi publicly humiliated the Clear Sky Sect, Pill Tower openly slapped us in the face. Are we just going to let all this go like this?"

"Young Miss, there's plenty of time," Tang Yun said meaningfully. "The Clear Sky Sect can't remain closed forever. When the sect reopens its gates, we can settle these scores one by one. But for now, we need to be patient."

Tang Yuehua remained silent for a long time before finally sitting back down in her chair, remaining silent for Jiujiu.

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but recall many years ago, before the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates.

Back then, she was the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect, and wherever she went, she was the center of attention.

But now, everything has changed.

The Clear Sky Sect's incompetent rage is not worth Zhao Ming wasting too much time on.

The Clear Sky Sect, which has sealed off its mountain, is like a tiger trapped in a cage. Although its fangs are still sharp, it cannot bite anyone as long as the cage is not opened.

When the day comes that the Clear Sky Sect truly has the courage to open the cage, Zhao Ming believes that the strength of the Pill Tower will have already grown to a level that the Clear Sky Sect can only look up to.

What truly concerned Zhao Ming was something else entirely.

The Wealth Aura gathered in the Treasure-Dropping Coin Fortune-Gathering Domain is finally full.

Since the establishment of the Pill Tower, Zhao Ming has been able to feel strands of golden Wealth Aura gathering from all directions every day.

Some of this Wealth Aura comes from the trading of pills in the Pill Tower, some from the tuition fees of the Pill Tower Academy, and some from the heartfelt gratitude of the Soul Master and common people who have benefited from the Pill Tower.

Every flow of wealth related to Pill Tower generates a wisp of Wealth Aura, which is absorbed by the Fortune-Gathering Domain.

Today, when Zhao Ming walked out of the Alchemy Room and habitually sensed the state of the Treasure-Dropping Coin, he was surprised to find that the Wealth Aura gathered in the Fortune-Gathering Domain had reached a critical point, enough for him to condense the Third Soul Ring for the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

This discovery filled Zhao Ming with an overwhelming sense of excitement.

Because he received feedback from Treasure-Dropping Coin that Treasure-Dropping Coin's third, sixth, and ninth Soul Ring were the three most special ones.

These are the basic authority, advanced authority, and ultimate authority of the God of Wealth Divine Position, respectively, and are the three pillars of the entire divine hierarchy.

The Third Soul Ring represents the most basic and core authority of the God of Wealth Divine Position — the Wealth Authority.

The Wealth Authority, as the name suggests, is the power to control wealth.

Only by possessing the Wealth Authority can Zhao Ming truly control the concept of "wealth," whether it be money, resources, elixirs, or anything else of value, all of which fall under the jurisdiction of the Wealth Authority.

Zhao Ming immediately decided to go into seclusion.

He found Ye Renxin and briefly explained, "Grandpa Ye, I need to go into seclusion for a while, but I don't know exactly how long."

Please take care of the affairs of the Pill Tower. Leave the alchemy to Yang Wudi and the others. Don't let anyone disturb me."

Seeing Zhao Ming Ming's solemn expression, Ye Renxin didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded. "Rest assured, you can go into seclusion. With me here at the Pill Tower, nothing will go wrong."

Zhao Ming then arrived at a secret chamber deep within the Pill Tower.

Zhao Ming sat cross-legged. He flipped his right hand, and the Treasure-Dropping Coin appeared out of thin air in his palm. At the same time, with a thought, his Fortune-Gathering Domain suddenly unfolded.

An invisible domain emanated from him, spreading outwards and enveloping the entire secret room.

Within the realm, countless golden streams of Wealth Aura darted and danced in the air like swimming fish, illuminating the secret chamber with a resplendent golden glow.

"Let's begin," Zhao Ming muttered to himself, his hands forming hand seals as he circulated the Nine-Breath Qi Absorption.

The Nine-Breath Qi Absorption Technique is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations, and is the most advanced cultivation method in the world.

It can not only refine the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but also all spiritual energy, including Wealth Aura.

Guided by the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption Technique," the flying Wealth Aura in the Fortune-Gathering Domain seemed to be summoned and began to slowly converge towards the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

Golden strands of Wealth Aura, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged towards the Treasure-Dropping Coin from all directions.

They drilled into the Treasure-Dropping Coin, condensed, compressed, and fused inside the ancient coin, gradually forming a golden vortex in the center of the square hole.

The vortex spun slowly, and with each rotation, a wisp of Wealth Aura was completely refined and merged into the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

This is an extremely slow process.

Wealth Aura is not spiritual energy, but the most mysterious mortal energy in the world. To refine and condense it into Soul Ring requires great patience and extremely precise control.

Zhao Ming dared not be careless in the slightest. He devoted all his attention to the operation of the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption," carefully guiding each strand of Wealth Aura to merge into the Treasure-Dropping Coin along a specific trajectory.

Time passed by, second by second.

The golden vortex within the square hole of the Treasure-Dropping Coin grows larger and more solid, while the Wealth Aura within the Fortune-Gathering Domain steadily diminishes.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Ming had completely fallen into a state of complete absorption in the world around him.

Meanwhile, at the other end of Heaven Dou City, in the Crown Prince's Palace, Qian Renxue stood by the window, gazing in the direction of the Pill Tower, a complex emotion flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Today she specially changed into a newly tailored palace dress, a light gold long skirt embroidered with delicate angel wing patterns, which made her skin look as white as snow and her temperament noble.

She was in a good mood because just yesterday, she had finally mastered the Nine Profound Art and successfully opened up her Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels.

Within the Pill Tower, there are quite a few people who cultivate the "Nine Profound Art".

Ye Renxin began cultivating, Dugu Bo began cultivating, Yang Wudi also began cultivating after Pill Tower, and even veteran Titled Douluo like Azure Luan Douluo treasured the "Nine Profound Art" and studied it day and night without stopping.

However, since the Nine Profound Art were passed down within the Pill Tower, no one has been able to cultivate this technique to the point of mastery and open all Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels.

Ye Renxin has opened five meridians, Dugu Bo has opened four, Yang Wudi has just started cultivating and hasn't opened any yet.

As for Azure Luan Douluo, this level 97 Super Douluo, he had only opened up six meridians.

Only Qian Renxue, in such a short time, cultivated the Nine Profound Art to the Great Perfection level, connecting all eight extraordinary meridians and opening all eight main channels.

After her Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels were opened, the speed at which her Soul Power circulated increased fivefold.

In terms of cultivation talent, Qian Renxue is undoubtedly the best on the continent.

The reason Zhao Ming was able to cultivate faster than her was because he cultivated the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption," which is one of the thirty-six great divine abilities of the Heavenly Gang. Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, it is also the most top-level cultivation method, and it is not even on the same level as the "Nine Profound Art."

Qian Renxue originally planned to wait for Zhao Ming to return and then tell Zhao Ming that she had mastered her cultivation technique.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ming did not return today. The message from the Pill Tower was that Zhao Ming suddenly announced that he was going into seclusion and that no one was allowed to disturb him.

Just then, a powerful aura came from outside the door.

Qian Renxue straightened her expression and resumed her usual dignified and noble demeanor.

The door was pushed open, Snake Lance Douluo She Long strode in.

"Young Master." She Long bowed to Qian Renxue, his gaze sweeping over her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, "Young Master's aura is so harmonious today, could it be that you have already mastered the Nine Profound Art?"

Qian Renxue nodded and smiled, "Uncle Snake Lance has a good eye. He just achieved mastery yesterday, and all Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels are now open."

Upon hearing this, She Long's face showed genuine admiration, and he exclaimed, "Congratulations, Young Master, on mastering your technique! You are truly a genius. I have been studying the Nine Profound Art every day, and I have only opened three meridians. Compared to you, I am worlds apart."

When he said this, his tone was full of envy, but not a trace of jealousy.

He knew about Qian Renxue's talent Innate Soul Power at level 20, a genius that the Spirit Hall had only seen once in a thousand years. Such a genius could cultivate any technique ten or a hundred times faster than ordinary people.

Although She Long was also Titled Douluo, his talent was not on the same level as Qian Renxue's at all.

"Uncle Snake Lance, you flatter me." Qian Renxue smiled modestly, then changed the subject and became serious, "Uncle Snake Lance, my Nine Profound Art are now fully mastered."

Furthermore, my Seventh Soul Ring is at the 100,000-year level, and after activating my Martial Soul Avatar, my combat power can be raised to another level.

With my current strength, I could even put up a fight against a level 95 Titled Douluo.

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that my strength is sufficient, we can speed up the process on Xue Ye's side and try to send him down before the Soul Master Tournament."

She spoke calmly and casually, as if she were talking about something trivial, but She Long saw a chilling murderous intent in her eyes.

Xue Ye, the current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, is also Qian Renxue's biggest target since she infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire.

Qian Renxue, under the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, had been operating in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, all in order to one day replace him and bring the Heaven Dou Empire under the control of the Spirit Hall.

Now, the time is ripe.

"Understood, Your Highness." She Long bowed and accepted the order, his voice low and firm. "Rest assured, Young Master, I will make the arrangements immediately. Within three months, I will ensure that Xue Ye is 'seriously ill'."

Qian Renxue nodded, her gaze returning to the direction of the Pill Tower outside the window, a hint of gentleness flashing in her eyes.

"I want to give him a surprise when he comes out of seclusion," she said softly, a sweet smile, the kind only a young girl would have, playing on her lips.

Looking at Qian Renxue's smile, She Long had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be that our young master has fallen for Zhao Ming?

How can this be allowed?

If the Great Enshrined knew about this, wouldn't he skin him and the Pufferfish alive?

But Snake Lance Douluo only dared to think these things in his heart and didn't dare to say them out loud. He quietly left the room and hurriedly went to discuss them with the Pufferfish.

Qian Renxue stood alone by the window, gazing in the direction of the Pill Tower, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Zhao Ming, once I become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, my undercover mission will be over. At that time, I will take you back to see Grandpa." Qian Renxue murmured to herself, her smile growing even gentler.

Qian Renxue was also aware that she had fallen for Zhao Ming. After realizing her feelings, Qian Renxue had already decided to take over the Heaven Dou Empire as soon as possible, and then take Zhao Ming to see her grandfather to confirm their relationship.
