"Wait, wait."
The city lord called out to Toji, who was about to leave.
"Are there level four and level five ones? How powerful are they?"
"They're no weaker than level three," Toji said, turning around. "And they're all very small, making them perfect for roaming the battlefield with great agility."
"I can't prove it with words alone; you can test it yourselves."
"This..."
The city lord swallowed hard, completely disregarding the Toji was still present, and immediately shouted:
"Someone come here!"
Soon, a Soul Master pushed open the door and entered.
Upon seeing Toji there, the Soul Master's face darkened.
"Oh, it's someone I know." Toji chuckled when he saw it was that Poison Soul Master again.
"My lord." The Poison Soul Master's face was ashen, but he was still very respectful to the city lord.
In the past three years, he has broken through to the Soul Saint level, and his importance in the city lord's heart has increased.
"Quickly, get these Soul Tool Soul Tool to the military camp so they can test them!"
The city lord immediately handed him the ring.
But after thinking about it, he still felt a little uneasy.
"No, such a valuable item shouldn't be entrusted to a mere Soul Saint as escort. What if it gets robbed?"
"Never mind, I'll go myself." The city lord immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Toji, saying, "I'll go test your new Soul Tool right now."
"If that's true, then there's no need for further discussion. The credit goes to me, the market is yours, and the right to engage in comprehensive cooperation with the Heaven Dou Empire is also yours."
"See the guest out." The city lord said this to the poison Soul Master, then hurriedly left.
The poison Soul Master was puzzled, but he did as instructed.
"Honored guest, this way please. Welcome to visit again next time."
"Not bad, huh?" Toji commented before taking Liang Wu out.
The Poison Soul Master's expression immediately became quite interesting.
No matter how well you do, you're never as popular as me...
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Toji said, "Alright, things are almost settled. The next step is for you to talk to him. Any questions?"
"Of course there's no problem. In this way, all the problems will be solved, and we'll really make a fortune." Liang Wu was extremely excited.
"If we truly cooperate completely with the Heaven Dou Empire, given our production volume, it won't even be enough to fill their teeth."
"We need to add more."
"What if their people want to come and help us?" Liang Wu asked, slightly worried.
"They call it helping, but actually they want to steal the technology, right?" Toji sneered. "This kind of thing must be stopped. We must keep the technology in our own hands. Outsourcing it is fine, though."
"If they go too far, we'll just stop cooperating with them. We'd rather cooperate with Dou Ling and Star Luo Empire than with them. Let them worry about it themselves."
"I see."
"Now that this problem is solved, I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest next." Toji placed his hand on the Storage Soul Tool.
"If there's any further trouble, we'll talk about it when we get back."
His purpose in returning this time was naturally to retrieve his own set of Soul Tool to enhance his combat abilities and make ample preparations for his next objective.
I hope everything goes well.
Hearing Liang Wu's words, Toji even thought about the important things he was going to do in the Star Dou Great Forest, and subconsciously said:
Yes, I hope everything goes well.
Toji specially brought the Du Busi with him this time, and once again went to the Mixed Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
His target this time was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of Emperor Auspicious Beast.
Just like in the original work.
They had the Du Busi kidnap the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, threatening the Ferocious Beast -level guardian and demanding a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in exchange.
Once the guardian goes to find the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he can then touch foreheads with the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
This is the best solution; I can't think of Toji other way that satisfies both.
If you were to try and force the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of Emperor Auspicious Beast, you might accidentally cause a hilarious mishap.
Toji Er told Du Busi about the plan, the latter was stunned.
"Is it really worth going this far for Fifth Soul Ring? A ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is rare, but we can always find another one."
" The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is indeed the most suitable type for me," Toji immediately said. "Most importantly, during the process of acquiring Soul Ring over the past three years, I finally discovered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion recorded in ancient times. This is an incredible opportunity, how could I miss it?"
"This..." Even Du Busi hesitated, " The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is indeed extremely rare... I've only ever heard of it, I've never actually seen one."
"According to ancient records, where Auspicious Beast reside, all other animals are protected. Their status is supreme, and humans can guide them. With auspicious protection, one's future is limitless."
"If you were to guide them, it would only bring you benefits, not harm; it's definitely worth a try."
Toji continued, "I think this guidance is quite important to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, so you must completely control her, teacher, and never give her a chance to understand it on her own."
"How did you know?" Du Busi asked in bewilderment. Even this old monster didn't know such information.
"I'm just guessing. Ancient records say this is a great secret of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and anything she does is possible."
Of course, Toji wouldn't dare admit to knowing the intelligence; he could only speak vaguely.
"That's true. Do you have any trace of her?"
"Based on my observations and experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest over the years, I always find many corpses of Light-attribute Soul Beast in the Mixed Zone, with their heads hollowed out..."
Toji to think and continued:
"Her favorite food is probably the head of a light-attribute Soul Beast, so we just need to catch a light-attribute Soul Beast as bait..."
Du Busi Die Nods:
"It's feasible. Go ahead. If you find her, send me a signal."
"It might take a long time... I'm not even sure if I'll be able to see her again," Toji said with a hint of regret.
"These things, as long as you do your best, that's enough." Du Busi patted him on the shoulder, comforting him. "Sometimes, opportunities that belong to you will come to you even if you don't want them, while opportunities that don't belong to you can't be forced no matter how hard you try."
"As long as you do your best and don't let yourself down, that's enough. Besides, you finally encountered it last time, so not acting rashly was the right choice."
"Yes, I did want to make a move, but I noticed a Ferocious Beast guarding her, so I ran away without looking back." Toji continued to fabricate lies; in reality, he had never encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion at all.
To be honest, this opportunity didn't really belong to him; it belonged to Huo Yuhao, the chosen one.
But how will you know if this opportunity will fall into your lap if you don't try?
"Teacher, I'm going."
He said Toji, then turned and went deep into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
What surprised Du Busi even more was that after Toji disappeared from his sight, he could no longer sense his presence at all.
Even with the intuition of a top expert, he couldn't find him anywhere.
"This kid has really gotten stronger; he can completely disappear in front of me now," Du Busi remarked. "The future truly belongs to the young."
