Chapter 24 Even the Heavenly Emperor heard it
After leaving the Qin Ruins, Bibi Dong slowed her pace as she recalled her experiences over the past year and a half.
I can't really recall any specific memories, they're all so bland... but when I think back on them now, I realize I really enjoyed them.
Why is this happening?
Was it because of Qin Xu's handsome appearance, profound knowledge, and outstanding culinary skills... that these few advantages gave him a special feeling?
Does it remind me of the feeling I had when I was with Yu Xiaogang?
No, they are completely different.
Bibi Dong immediately denied it.
Qin Xu is a very charismatic person.
She has to admit it.
Qin Xu is much more distinctive and dazzling than Yu Xiaogang was in his youth.
Whenever he's around someone, that person's heart starts pounding faster.
Especially during the year she came into contact with the Qin Ruins, she actually discovered some of the secrets of the Qin Ruins.
At the Qin Ruins, they are practicing something special.
Others may not know much about it.
She knew very well that although Qin Xu had not yet overcome the limitations of his martial spirit, he had taken an unconventional approach and made a name for himself in the art of physical cultivation.
According to him, this is called martial arts.
It nourishes and refines the essence of the five internal organs, unlocking the great secrets of the human body.
This is very much in line with the theories he presented to himself back then.
He succeeded.
Cultivation no longer relies entirely on martial spirits.
Cultivation no longer requires absorbing soul rings.
It can be said that as long as Qin Xu is willing to reveal what he has studied, he will become a grandmaster-level figure who carries on the legacy of the past and opens up new horizons.
To leave a mark on history.
Of course, she could also see that the threshold for martial arts was extremely high, and the cost of cultivation far exceeded that of ordinary soul masters. But so what? She could see that Qin Xu was cultivating for his own sake.
She had a feeling that this man could succeed if he wanted to.
Including evolved martial souls.
Because after further investigation, she discovered that the Qin Ruins might not be a level two or three innate level.
He may not have had any soul power at birth.
She was truly convinced that Qin Xu could solve Yu Xiaogang's problem.
But she never thought of asking on behalf of Yu Xiaogang.
Even though Yu Xiaogang has been suffering because of this.
Bibi Dong thought back to when she was with Xiao Gang, and it seemed that nothing unforgettable had happened.
It's very simple: Qian Xunji didn't approve of Yu Xiaogang, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to leave the Spirit Hall. Then Yu Xiaogang abandoned her and ran away.
Looking back on her time with her in Coconut Grove City, if she hadn't been so naive and focused solely on cultivation, that experience would probably have been quite ordinary.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's expression turned grim. Her face darkened, but she quickly murmured, "Anyway, it's over..."
"Speaking of which, I have never seen any of Xiao Gang's disciples..."
Yu Xiaogang's disciple's surname was Tang, and his given name was Tang San. Fortunately, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, not the so-called Clear Sky Hammer.
She had placed informants here to pass on messages to her at all times.
Although she had never met Tang San, she knew that Tang San had not only mastered many of his self-created soul skills, but also that his cultivation speed far surpassed that of Qin Xu's disciples.
This is also evidence that the master is not an incompetent fool.
Yu Xiaogang has truly unearthed a great deal of potential in Sugar 3!
Of course, Bibi Dong knew that this was because Qin Xu had focused more on his own cultivation.
However, Sugar Three's talent is already clearly visible.
Although she possesses the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass, her talent is no less than that of her disciple, Hu Liena.
In a year and a half, I'm almost at level nineteen.
"No matter what, as long as they don't hate my Spirit Hall, that's fine." Thinking of this, Bibi Dong suddenly hesitated. In fact, the dragon attribute soul bone she prepared for Yu Xiaogang should also be quite suitable for the 'martial path' that Qin Xu was preparing to take.
But this matter concerns Yu Xiaogang's breakthrough to Soul Venerable, so even if she wanted to give it to Qin Xu, she couldn't make up her mind.
"Xiao Gang, as long as the Tang San you train has more potential than that bastard, I will reward you with a soul bone after he joins my Spirit Hall..." Thinking this, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a pang of worry.
Would the disciples trained by Yu Xiaogang harbor resentment towards the Spirit Hall? After all, with innate full spirit power, even the most incompetent deacon of the Spirit Hall wouldn't refuse to invite them to join. Yet, they didn't.
However, Bibi Dong quickly relaxed.
She is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Given his relationship with Xiao Gang, how could the disciple he trained possibly hate the Spirit Hall? Even if such a person did hate the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiao Gang would guide him in the right direction.
Moreover, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang forgot to collect the gold soul coins distributed by the Spirit Hall every month.
This also reveals Yu Xiaogang's attitude. Although he had reservations about the Spirit Hall because of Qian Xunji, now that he was the Pope, they would naturally side with the Spirit Hall.
Just then, Bibi Dong suddenly raised an eyebrow, her divine senses shifting slightly as she overheard some whispered discussions.
In the corner, the two were talking in hushed tones.
"Brother, I never imagined that after following Brother Jiang to Notting City, we would actually encounter two geniuses with innate full soul power, both only seven years old." A woman said, her face flushed. "If we succeed, His Highness the Prince will surely reward us handsomely."
He possesses innate full soul power! He is almost certain to become a Title Douluo in the future, making him extremely valuable for cultivation.
Such a person will always have guards following him wherever he goes.
However, they received a definite message from Jiang Xiaoge's newly recruited followers: the strongest person by Tang San and his brother's side was only a high-level Soul King named Qin Hei.
They had even seen that high-level Soul King named Qin Hei before in the Great Sun Forest.
Beside him, a similar glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the tall, young man.
"According to reliable sources, the two of them will have a friendly spar in a few days, at which point we can take them all down in one fell swoop."
If Tang San weren't away from Notting City, and if they weren't worried about alerting the enemy, they would have acted now without any hesitation.
A genius with innate full soul power is extremely valuable.
Both of them spoke in very low voices, as soft as mosquitoes, but for Bibi Dong, she could hear them clearly if she wanted to.

at the same time.
In Nottingham, in a large, open space.
On the right side of the venue was a two-person-high incense burner, next to which stood a huge statue resembling a golden roc.
Inside the venue stood a three-story, square building, its edges and corners all curving upwards. At the entrance, guards scanned the surroundings with menacing eyes.
On the third floor, in a relatively secluded room.
Several people were gathered around a small stove, all wearing special armor made of the hide of a soul beast called the Horned Scale Sheep. This armor was not something ordinary people could afford; it was not only a symbol of status, but the hide also had considerable protective capabilities.
The city lord of Notting City was discussing matters with the person in front of him with a tense expression. If Uncle Hei were here, he would surely recognize that two of these people were the Soul Emperors worshipped by the meat processing plant.
As for those two Soul Emperors, one had a winged serpent spirit and was named Sorok, and the other had an eagle spirit and was named Harlan.
At this moment, both of them looked respectful yet excited.
"Lord Xiao, I remember a band of wolf bandits is heading this way. Our Imperial Army has been fighting them all along to maintain peace in the area, and now we are exhausted and need some supplies." The fair-skinned young man in a purple robe said with a smile.
"Lord Jiang... our Notting City is just a small city." City Lord Xiao stammered.
The young man simply smiled and said, "No need to be nervous, I represent the Empire today."
After speaking, the young man gently flipped over a bronze plaque. The plaque was entirely black, with a dark surface and white swans carved on its four corners.
"Greetings, Your Excellency." City Lord Xiao looked at the token, his expression relaxing considerably. The young man was so patient in speaking to him, so he obviously wasn't looking for him to "hunt in the wild."
"If you need it, sir, we do have a Soul Master family in Notting City that is quite wealthy..." City Lord Xiao immediately tried to shift the blame onto Qin Xu.
The young man looked at Harlan and asked, "Uncle Harlan, what do you think of that person?"
Next to the young man, Harlan's son, Hato, quickly gave his father a meaningful look.
Hattori was very respectful to the young man, who, like him, had graduated from the Spirit Hall Academy. However, the young man's status was much higher than Hattori's.
His father is Jiang Fuhao, the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Hall of Fasino Province and a genius.
"Boss Qin is definitely a talent. To accumulate so much wealth in just a year and a half, he must be incredibly capable." Harlan, the Soul Emperor worshipped by Qin Xu, quickly said, "If you need, I can help you persuade the boss."
Seeing the hint his son gave him and considering the other party's identity, Harlan said, "Conservatively speaking, he can definitely come up with 200,000 gold soul coins. Besides me and Sorock, there are no other Soul Emperors at the meat processing plant. By the way, their steward is a high-level Soul King."
The young man wasn't surprised and said, "What if I subdue him and make him give me all the money he earns?"
Hattori immediately chimed in, "Young Master Jiang, that's an even better idea. The meat processing plant will grow larger and larger, and by then it will be able to earn at least 800,000 gold soul coins a year."
Jiang Xinhua looked indifferently at the people in front of him. Among them, one was a classmate who was willing to have his father act as a dog in order to befriend him, and another was a classmate's father who was willing to act as his dog. It was somewhat amusing.
Thinking of the meat processing plant in Qinxu, he felt a surge of anticipation.
In fact, his target was the meat processing plant. He never expected that the person his father cared about so much would have such talent.
But that person's identity was somewhat special, and he couldn't afford to offend him directly, so he took a roundabout approach.
After a brief conversation and all the arrangements were made, the group dispersed.
………………
After descending to the third floor, Hato followed behind Harlan, clenching his fists with excitement.
"Dad, you seem really nervous."
Harlan was indeed very cautious; they were employed by the meatpacking plant under contracts.
Their contracts were signed at the Spirit Hall, which meant they were essentially employed by Qin Xu.
Normally, the binding force is very strong.
Now that they are preparing to breach the contract and have also leaked the secrets of Qin Ruins, they should theoretically have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.
The Spirit Hall has an excellent reputation.
He wouldn't have been willing to break the contract if he hadn't encountered a powerful figure this time.
Moreover, he always had a feeling that he couldn't figure out his boss.
"The meat processing plant used to offer a lot of benefits, so I'm a little uneasy."
This was a lie, and he didn't feel any pangs of conscience. But he was indeed very uneasy inside.
"You're not trying to harm him, you're just trying to persuade him. If Boss Qin agrees to become Boss Jiang's subordinate, you'll have accomplished a great feat. He'll only lose a little freedom."
"Boss Jiang promised me that if you help me with this, he'll faithfully pledge allegiance to him and then give us 10% of the profits. That's much better than hiring someone else."
Harto thought about the profits of the meat processing plant, and a sense of longing grew in his heart.
He enjoyed the feeling of spending money lavishly, and especially envied Tang San! As long as Qin Xu agreed to pledge allegiance to Boss Jiang, he could get a 10% share of the profits, making him even more successful than Tang San was now.
That meat processing plant was so big. As Qin Xu's disciple, Tang San's status was much higher than his, so he was extremely jealous.
He was even more indignant about the Qin Ruins.
A useless soul master whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass should be a servant, so why is he able to command his father from a high position?
His father is the Soul Emperor!
Qin Xu only made some money by luck, so does that mean he should be subservient to him for the rest of his life and lead his horse for him?
He had investigated thoroughly and found that Qin Xu was just a down-on-his-luck person. What right did a Great Soul Master who was about the same age as him have to command him from such a high position?
In his view, his father deserved the meat processing plant's dividends, instead of being just a suffering thug like he was now!
He's been watching over the meat processing plant every day, and he's learned the procedures. He can even act like a young master now!
Their family can maintain good relations with Qinxu in the future, but they cannot rely on Qinxu forever.
"Don't worry, Father. Even if we break the rules this time, the Jiang family will accept us. Young Master Jiang's father is only in his early thirties and has already broken through to the Soul Emperor realm. In terms of status, position, character, and talent, he is far superior to Qin Xu."
Besides, he's my friend. He wouldn't harm me.
Moreover, he once said something to me.
Those wealthy people are nothing but bloodsuckers of the common people; they should be put on the reins. This is called eradicating evil completely.
Hato said with a serious expression.
Harlan and Sorock nodded, their eyes gradually sharpening.
They were also ready to persuade Qin Xu to serve under Prince Jiang.
However, neither Young Master Jiang, nor Harlan, Hato, nor even the slave-hunting team felt the slight tremor of the blue silver grass beneath their feet, whose heads were drooping slightly.
........................
at the same time.
Qin Xu stood on the second-floor balcony, quietly closing his eyes.
He appeared to be asleep.
But in reality, Qin Ruins are listening.
Listen to the hustle and bustle of half of Nottingham!
After strengthening the second soul skill.
Qin Ruins has gained a brand new ability.
"May all beings listen to the heavens!"
At first, Qin Xu thought that this enhancement would only give his Blue Silver Grass more roots, make the grass leaves and stems thicker, and increase its upper limit of vitality.
However, Qin Xu now realized that the enhanced version not only had the functions he had previously guessed.
It also enhanced his dominance over the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, which was based on him.
It's possible that after three enhancements, the Blue Silver Grass's strength had approached that of the Blue Silver King, resulting in its transformation.
It could also be a new ability that the enhancement brings to the martial soul.
In short, Qin Xu began to be able to sense the information that every Blue Silver Grass could transmit within half of Notting City.
He closed his eyes.
But these blue silver grasses became his eyes.
