Chapter 240 The True Face of Qian Renxue, Plotting the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud
" The Spirit Hall has now monopolized the entire Soul Tool market. What gives you the leverage to break their monopoly?"
Qian Renxue asked casually, "In the past two years, Martial Soul has made great breakthroughs in the technology of Soul Tool manufacturing. Not only has it established a branch hall called the Soul Tool Hall, but it can even manufacture Level 2 Soul Tool. The Spirit Hall will also regularly put some Soul Tool up for auction. The starting price for each Level 2 Soul Tool exceeds 1 million Gold Soul Coin. Although the price is high, there are still many wealthy people who compete for the bid."
Furthermore, now any Soul Master who joins the Spirit Hall and whose Soul Power exceeds the King level can obtain an Attack-Type Soul Tool. This has directly attracted many Soul Master who were not affiliated with any other faction to join the Spirit Hall, significantly boosting the strength of the Spirit Hall's lower levels.
"I won't hide anything from Sister Xue. I now possess blueprints for higher-level Soul Tool, the most powerful of which, the Fixed Soul Cannon, can even pose a threat to Soul Douluo."
Jun Yi got straight to the point, revealing his bargaining chips.
Is this really true?
"Absolutely true."
Jun Yi's resolute expression, Qian Renxue fell into deep thought. After a long while, she slowly raised her head, looked at Jun Yi, and said, "If what you say is true, and you successfully create a new power, then I want to become the person in charge of the new power, have the right to know all the information about this power, and whatever decisions you want to make, you need to inform me in advance and discuss them with me."
"Okay." Jun Yi nodded in agreement.
As soon as Jun Yi finished speaking, a golden light flashed around Xue Qinghe, and then a beautiful figure appeared. Her long golden hair was casually draped behind her, her skin was as white as snow, her nose was straight, her phoenix eyes were slightly slender, and her face had a touch of arrogance. She slowly tilted her head to the side, clenched her left fist, supported her head, and looked at Jun Yi with a smile.
"Since you've shown your sincerity, I'll show you mine in return. This is who I truly am; you're the first outsider to see me in my true form."
Qian Renxue's voice carried a hint of languor.
Jun Yi's gaze lingered on Qian Renxue's face for a few more seconds before he looked away, then complimented her, " Sister Xue is even more beautiful than I imagined."
Jun Yi's unexpected attitude, Qian Renxue felt a little strange and teased, "I feel like you've changed a lot. If I remember correctly, Jun Yi was a little boy who couldn't move when he saw a pretty girl. Am I not good-looking enough?"
"Of course not. Sister Xue is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. The reason I don't look at Sister Xue is because I'm afraid I'll fall for her," Jun Yi replied truthfully.
"Yeah?"
Qian Renxue smiled calmly and said, "I'm not teasing you anymore. Xue Ye sent me here this time because he wants to completely bind you to the Heaven Dou Empire. He has offered an extremely outrageous condition: as long as you are willing to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, you can make any request you want, as long as it doesn't involve the throne, he can agree to it."
"Really? If I choose to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Xue Ye will definitely reward Xue Qinghe, after all, this is a great achievement."
"Yes, that old man's health has been deteriorating over the years. I've killed several other talented princes, and he's now considering making me the crown prince. If this goes through, he might just make me the crown prince directly," Qian Renxue said with a smile.
After listening, Jun Yi directly stated his thoughts. "Then you should go back and tell Xue Ye that I was originally adopted by Xue Qinghe. Although my bloodline is not that of the royal family, this kinship cannot be severed. As long as he doesn't object, I will always be Xue Qinghe's younger brother. As for the conditions, just tell him that if he really wants to give me any reward, then he should bring out the Heaven Dou Empire's National Treasure Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, for me to see."
" The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, isn't that just a pretty decoration? Why are you looking at it?" Qian Renxue looked at Jun Yi with confusion, not quite understanding why he would make such a request.
" The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is just the name given to it by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Its true name is the Sea God's Heart, and it is a necessary prerequisite for us land-based Soul Master to participate in the Sea God's Nine Trials."
Jun Yi explained to Qian Renxue that he did not intend to hide it from Qian Renxue; there was no need to, since the Angel Godhood was still waiting for her to inherit.
"What? That thing is actually related to the Sea God?"
Qian Renxue's calm face revealed a look of surprise. Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was called National Treasure, it was actually just a symbol. She had played with it before and had not noticed anything unusual at the time. She never expected that the thing was related to the Sea God.
Jun Yi nodded and said, "That's right, that's why I want to get my hands on it and activate it."
"You want to participate in the Sea God's Nine Trials and become the Sea God?"
"No, I intend to make Zhu Zhuqing the Sea God," Jun Yi replied truthfully.
"That second young lady of the Zhu Family? Her talent doesn't seem quite right, does it?"
Qian Renxue recalled the girl who had left a deep impression on her solely based on her chest. She had once sent someone to investigate her basic information and learned that Zhu Zhuqing's Innate Soul Power was only level seven. It was uncertain whether she could become Titled Douluo in the future, so how could she possibly pass the God Trial?
"She's different now. Her talent has been greatly enhanced, and she's almost certain to pass the Sea God's Nine Trials," Jun Yi replied.
"But are you really willing to give her the chance to become a god?"
Jun Yi raised his head, meeting Qian Renxue's questioning gaze, and said earnestly, "I owe her a great deal. Let alone a Godhood position, I would give her my life. Of course, my life was also saved by Sister Xue. If one day you want to take it back, Jun Yi will not resist."
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Your Sister Xue me very happy."
Qian Renxue then stood up and said to Jun Yi, "Let's call it a day. I will convey your words to Xue Ye. As for our previous cooperation, we can resume it after I become the Heaven Dou Emperor. However, I look forward to cooperating with you in the future to create a new force that can change the landscape of the continent."
After saying that, Qian Renxue walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and said to Jun Yi, "I'm very curious about what you've been through these past two years to make you look like this. Although you seem to have matured a lot, I don't like it. Since you entered this Education Commission office, you've never shown a smile. You always have this gloomy and resentful look on your face."
I think you look better when you smile.
After speaking, a golden light flashed, and Qian Renxue transformed into Xue Qinghe, opened the door, and left the Education Commission office...
