Let the Intelligence Come to Them
Star Luo City is vast, yet it still retains city walls that are extremely rare on the Douluo Continent, and its overall appearance is more like a city from ancient times.
What's even more striking is that the city walls are equipped with various Soul Tool Weapons as a defensive system, which undoubtedly highlights the instability and tension of the current situation in the Star Luo Empire.
However, to the surprise of the Passionate Douluo and the Soul Suppressing Douluo, they discovered along the way that the residents of the Star Luo Empire seemed to be living a peaceful and prosperous life.
Despite the Human Pill, why maintain a facade of order? What is Star Luo Empire thinking?
Confused, the group was taken to the luxurious Star Luo Grand Hotel to rest. Upon entering the room, many of the students collapsed onto the beds due to their fatigue from the long journey.
Three days later, the delegation will be received by the Star Luo Imperial Family. If they don't rest now, they will have even less time later.
However, for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, it wasn't time to rest yet.
After arriving in the Star Luo Empire Inland Area, Gu Yuena could sense that the Dragon Tomb was located there, but it would take time to pinpoint its location. Huo Yuhao didn't plan to idly observe during this time.
Now that I've come to the Star Luo Empire as an official member, I should naturally make the most of the value inherent in that identity.
Perhaps he can find information about Dragon Valley before Gu Yuena does.
Let's go out for a walk.
After dinner, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena went out side by side, followed by a woman with a dignified appearance.
The other person's name was Le Xiaoling, and she was one of the guards arranged by the Star Luo Empire.
Because of the previous attack by the Dawn Society, the Star Luo Federation seems very worried about a similar situation happening again, so they have arranged a lot of guards for the delegation members. If needed, they can also serve as guides for the group in the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo City was brightly lit at night, with Soul Guidance Lamp illuminating the streets with a soft glow. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena strolled along the stone-paved road, seemingly leisurely, but actually observing every detail of the city.
After strolling along the pedestrian street for a while, Huo Yuhao asked, "Miss Le, I see that Star Luo City is very lively right now. Is it because of the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament? With such a grand event, are there any auctions being held in Star Luo City?"
Having already noticed what Huo Yuhao and his companion were looking for, Le Xiaoling pondered for a moment before respectfully replying, "There is indeed an auction today, but all the invitations have already been sent out. Of course, if you two wish to attend, I can arrange the necessary formalities."
Huo Yuhao glanced sideways, "I wonder what items will be up for auction this time? Are there any items related to Soul Beast?"
"Of course, we do have those, but what kind do you want? Do you have any specific requirements?"
"I want to collect the genetic information of Soul Beast, as long as they are Soul Beast that don't exist on the Douluo Continent." Seeing Le Xiaoling's puzzled expression, Huo Yuhao explained softly, "I'm also a Soul Spirit researcher at the Spirit Pagoda. That Soul Beast genetic information can be used to create Artificial Soul Spirit."
Le Xiaoling was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "That might be a bit difficult. The number of Soul Beast on our Star Luo Continent is much smaller than that on the Douluo Continent, and the variety is also not very rich. There are very few that can satisfy you."
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "I'm just looking around. If anyone is willing to offer extremely valuable Soul Beast genetic information, I'll exchange it for something else. I'll make sure they don't lose out. I just don't know if they'll accept this kind of transaction."
At this point, Huo Yuhao gave Le Xiaoling a meaningful look.
The latter was initially puzzled, then seemed to realize something and swallowed hard.
The substance that carries the genetic information of Soul Beast can be its blood or its Soul Bone.
What could Huo Yuhao, a Two-Word Battle Armor Master, possibly have to exchange for Soul Bone?
He is the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, so naturally he is Soul Spirit!
Le Xiaoling, who thought she understood Huo Yuhao's meaning, immediately responded.
"I see!"
Faced with the request from the Spirit Pagoda, Le Xiaoling dared not neglect it and quickly began to search for relevant records.
At the same time, she also began to secretly contact her family and friends.
This is a golden opportunity to obtain a high-level Soul Spirit; we absolutely cannot miss it.
In the Douluo Continent, the value of Soul Bone and Soul Spirit is somewhat difficult to measure, but in the Star Luo Continent, the value of Soul Spirit is much higher than that of Soul Bone.
No Soul Master family dares to say they will never decline; the best guarantee is the inheritance of Soul Spirit as a form of combat power.
After all, putting everything else aside, if one day their family declines to the point where there isn't a single strong person to protect their descendants in hunting for Soul Ring, then having Soul Spirit and not having Soul Spirit are two completely different things.
With Soul Spirit, the younger generation can still improve; without Soul Spirit, they can only hope for Soul Ring assigned by higher-ups or venture out to sea to hunt for Soul Ring... neither of which is easy.
Watching Le Xiaoling bustling around, Gu Yuena blinked, pulled Huo Yuhao closer, and whispered, "Yuhao, is this really going to work?"
"Na'er, don't forget our identities," Huo Yuhao said with a smile. "We are the future of the Spirit Pagoda, and members of the delegation representing the Federation visiting Star Luo Empire."
"Regardless of the Star Luo Empire leadership's opinion of us, as long as they don't openly declare war on Douluo, in the eyes of those below Star Luo Empire, we are capable of cooperation. Don't underestimate the allure of Soul Spirit to them and the influence the Spirit Pagoda can bring here; they will act for the potential benefits—"
Just like what Le Xiaoling is doing now.
Because of Huo Yuhao's words, half of Star Luo City sprang into action.
Even if Huo Yuhao didn't originally want anything at the auction, the Star Luo Federation, now in action, will put up what he needs.
Even if they can't directly obtain the Soul Spirit, gaining the favor of Huo Yuhao, the future Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, would be good. That way, they could establish a connection with the Spirit Pagoda and profit from it.
It was under these circumstances that Huo Yuhao found what he needed—several fragments of dragon Dragon Bone.
Dragon Valley is located in the Star Luo Empire. Regardless of who discovered it, once its contents are released, they will inevitably be absorbed by some of the Star Luo Empire people.
Huo Yuhao obtained them by taking advantage of this.
Sitting in the private room of the auction, looking at the incomplete Dragon Bone that Huo Yuhao had bought at the auction, Gu Yuena fell into deep thought.
She had initially assumed she would be the first to find the Dragon Tomb, that it would just take time. But judging from the current situation, Yuhao's casual promises in the Star Luo Empire seemed far more effective than her, the legitimate Silver Dragon King, searching on her own.
The intelligence has been delivered right to our doorstep!
Gu Yuena raised her head and looked at the Star Luo Empire people who were chatting happily with Huo Yuhao beside her.
This is the Soul Master who provided the Dragon Bone as an item for auction.
However, since it was a fragmented Dragon Bone, it naturally wouldn't be exchanged for a high-level Soul Spirit. Of course, Huo Yuhao hadn't originally intended to do so.
After finalizing the terms of the deal with the middle-aged man in front of him, Huo Yuhao got straight to the point, "I'd like to ask, if I may, where in the Star Luo Empire do these Soul Bone come from? Which Soul Beast gathering place has so many dragon-type Soul Beast?"
