Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 529 Why am I lecturing this old man about some profound truths when I have nothing to do?

Chapter 529 Why am I lecturing this old man about some profound truths when I have nothing to do?

Xuan Lao suddenly remembered that after the Soul Master Competition ended, when Ye Nanxiao stayed in Xingluo to assist in the research, when he went to pick him up, did he only focus on bringing him back and forget about him?

Or was it that Ye Nanxiao no longer needed his brain at that time?

This fox is incredibly cunning; how cautious is it?

Elder Xuan squatted down in front of Ye Nanxiao, counting on his fingers as he looked at Ye Nanxiao and said, "Let me take a look first. You kid have had a great opportunity. You obtained a combat power similar to a soul spirit, and your soul power is approaching the level 80 mark. Then you also comprehended the use of spatial power and created a spatial soul tool. In terms of combat power, plus that magical flower you condensed, you can directly face the pressure of a titled Douluo."

With each repetition, Elder Xuan's tone rose a notch, until towards the end, he was practically gritting his teeth and forcing the words out.

Ye Nanxiao sat down obediently and handed a teapot to Elder Xuan to calm his nerves.

Elder Xuan opened the teapot, tilted his head back, and drank the tea in one gulp. He took a breath, stared at Ye Nanxiao for a while, and then asked, "You brat, you might not have told me the whole truth!"

"Uh, no way! You're one of the people I respect most!" Ye Nanxiao scratched his head.

"However, respect for elders and honesty are separate virtues, so I only need to take one of the good things!" Ye Nanxiao admitted with righteous indignation that he did not possess the virtue of honesty.

"I really want to take out the Taotie Bone and smash you to death!" A yellow light flashed in Elder Xuan's hand, and a thick thigh bone appeared in his hand. That was Elder Xuan's weapon, the Taotie Bone.

"You brat! Is this what you said, researching things you're doing out of boredom?"

Ye Nanxiao cautiously reached out, pinching the Taotie bone in front of him with two fingers, moving it slightly away so it wasn't pointing directly at his face. "Elder Xuan, when you're out in the martial world, you're always in danger. How can you dare to go out and cause trouble if you don't have many cards to play?"

Elder Xuan snorted softly, put away the Gluttonous Bone, sat cross-legged next to Ye Nanxiao, crossed his arms, and asked, "You brat, just how much have you been up to outside?"

"Oh, well, it's normal for a business to have a wide scope!" Ye Nanxiao chuckled. "So I need to travel around a lot, and to save time, I'm researching spatial teleportation soul tools. Isn't that normal?"

"If it were anyone else, I would think it's perfectly normal, but the answer that came out of your mouth, young man, requires some careful consideration!" Elder Xuan said without giving any face.

"If you are willing to dedicate yourself to seclusion and cultivation with me for a period of time, it won't take ten years. I'll stake my reputation as a senior elder of the Sea God Pavilion; in five years, you should be able to reach the threshold of a Title Douluo!"

After finishing his words, Elder Xuan took out his wine gourd and took a sip to calm his nerves.

"I originally planned to focus on my cultivation for a while after the orders were finished, but obviously, things won't let me have any free time." Ye Nanxiao put away the Frozen Flower and the Snow Emperor, shrugged, and thought he also wanted to live a carefree life, just sunbathing and hugging his wife every day.

"If you really want to cultivate, then come with me. As for the soul spirit that came to inform you today, this cannot be accomplished in a short time. Even if it is effective, the transmission between the three great empires will be a big problem. After all, the empires cannot gamble a part of their future on this nascent project of soul spirits." Elder Xuan pondered for a moment and silently clicked his tongue.

"The path to new life often requires overcoming numerous obstacles, and Yuhao can't be sure how long this process will take. But I'm certain that the Sun Moon Empire won't just stand by and watch us slowly experiment, even if it's an experiment announced by Shrek Academy," Ye Nanxiao said.

"Hmph, Shrek Academy is not something Xu Tianran can afford to offend!" Elder Xuan sneered.

Ye Nanxiao took out a map from his storage ring, spread it on the ground, and said, "That's not quite right, Elder Xuan. Look, how much territory do we occupy if we combine the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent?"

"Shrek has always been a neutral force. Shrek City is enough; we don't need much more space." Elder Xuan didn't understand Ye Nanxiao's meaning.

Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly and said, "Elder Xuan, the two continents can eventually be considered as a whole. In such a vast territory, if given the opportunity, which emperor would not be tempted? And which emperor would tolerate the existence of a tiny piece of land independent of the map within such a vast territory?"

"Two continents, young man, are you saying Xu Tianran wants to unify the entire continent?!" Elder Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"It's not that I want to unify, but the general trend of the world is that what is divided for a long time will unite, and what is united for a long time will divide. This has been the case since ancient times. Even Tian Dou went through internal wars and split into two countries. As for Xing Luo, their emperor has long since changed his surname."

"According to my estimation, even if the three great empires join forces again, they will hardly be a match for the Sun Moon Empire. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Cult has now practically taken over the Sun Moon Empire. Therefore, I need to speed up my research and expand my business to bring back more resources," Ye Nanxiao said.

"No! I will not allow war to happen!" Elder Xuan stood up, his large, fan-like hand clenching into a fist and then relaxing.

Having experienced the trials of war, Master Xuan deeply understands the cruelty of war.

Families torn apart, homes destroyed, people killed – this is the most concise summary of war.

"Mingdu is the current Sun and Moon Emperor's stronghold. Judging solely from the overall strength of the cities, even if Tiandou City, Lingdou City, and Xingluo City were to unite, they would only barely surpass Mingdu. Such an unequal power dynamic will inevitably lead to war sooner or later. Not to mention, Xu Tianran is currently reorganizing the military." Ye Nanxiao pointed to Mingdu and Xingluo City.

"The hardest to escape are unarmed civilians, especially if they can run as fast as a Soul Master," Ye Nanxiao said meaningfully.

Elder Xuan looked at Ye Nanxiao, suddenly realizing something, and asked, "That thing you just used, could it quickly evacuate civilians?"

The physical fitness of ordinary people cannot be compared with that of Soul Masters. Even a Soul Master with only ten levels of Soul Power and a ten-year Soul Ring has a physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people.

A Soul King-level expert, considering both speed and the safety of civilians, can only use his soul power to carry no more than ten people to safety.

And we also need to consider whether there are pursuers.

But then Elder Xuan remembered that Ye Nanxiao's iron box was different!

Driven by soul power storage, the metal shell provides a certain level of protection, and together with the defensive core array, this is a transport vehicle capable of quickly evacuating civilians.

"That thing is much better than those fancy carriages, isn't it?" Ye Nanxiao grinned, revealing his big white teeth.

"Good lad, I'm in for your business!" Old Master Xuan reached into his robes and pulled out a small blue sphere.

Ye Nanxiao took a closer look and exclaimed, "Wow, a star sapphire, and it's the size of a walnut!"

"When I was young, I traveled all over the continent and squandered almost all of my money. I still have a little left, so I have some money." Elder Xuan tossed the "walnut" in his hand to Ye Nanxiao and erased his divine sense.

"Is this your savings for your funeral?" Ye Nanxiao quickly took the walnut; he couldn't afford to break it.

"I suppose so. Anyway, if I leave things here, they'll just sit here and get moldy. At least you need them now." Elder Xuan glanced indifferently at the storage soul tool that had been with him for half a century, without the slightest bit of reluctance.

Ye Nanxiao casually glanced inside the walnut. Putting aside how many rare metals were inside, the value of that small pile of natural treasures alone was enough for Ye Nanxiao to build himself a Louis XVI pleasure machine on the spot.

"Elder Xuan, so you're the richest person in our academy?" Ye Nanxiao held the "walnut" in his hands, his eyes filled with admiration.

Elder Xuan reached out and tapped Ye Nanxiao on the head with his sword-pointed finger. "Do you know why I find you pleasing to the eye? It's because your style is similar to mine when I was young. You're a cunning businessman, and I'm a ruthless bandit. How many enemies would hide their belts at the mere mention of my name?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Well, the unscrupulous businessman and the ruthless bandit are both from the same circle, and they're even part of a power struggle.

"My goodness, this is enough to buy the whole Li family!" Ye Nanxiao took out a brocade box, put a piece of cotton wool inside, and then put the "walnut" in.

"Little Li? Who could be worth that much?" Old Xuan smacked his lips.

Ye Nanxiao's eyes had already turned into the symbol of gold soul coins, and he subconsciously replied, "Little Li is the president of the Audu Chamber of Commerce, how could his net worth not be high?"

"Oh ho, you even know the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce in Mingdu? You unscrupulous merchant has even started selling his goods in Mingdu?" Elder Xuan picked up his wine gourd and took a swig of wine.

"Oh, no, that's my employee, Xiao Li." Ye Nanxiao's intelligence had already declined, and he happily put away the Starlight Sapphire Bead.

Suddenly, a large, fan-like hand gripped Ye Nanxiao's head, and Elder Xuan asked in a sinister tone, "So, that huge, unscrupulous merchant guild in Mingdu belongs to you, kid?"

"I told you to stay in Shrek City and not get involved in the mess of the Sun Moon Empire, but in the end, it was you who muddied the waters of Mingdu?"

"You've got some nerve, kid! Let this old man see if your skin's gotten any thicker!"

Huo Yuhao, who pushed Wang Dong'er back with the car, was pushing the convertible with its front end dented.

Wang Dong'er blushed and huddled inside the small shell, tapping her index fingers together repeatedly.

"Third Senior Brother doesn't have the position of inspecting the quality of Tang Sect soul tools. Dong'er, even if you can fly, you should think about Little Shell! Third Senior Brother's tortoise shell shield is much harder than ordinary rare metals!" Huo Yuhao said with a stern face.

"If you break the mud sauce, I'll probably have to fix it myself, and you'll have to come with me to fix it."

As they were talking, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er caught a glimpse of Elder Xuan grabbing Ye Nanxiao by the back of his collar and dragging the large Ye Nanxiao, leaving a long trail on the ground.

"Yuhao, Xiao boy needs more training. Tell Beibei that I'm taking him away for training." Elder Xuan waved to Yuhao.

"You better remember to fix my car later, you brat!" Ye Nanxiao said, arms crossed, fuming with impotence.

Why bother lecturing this old man when I have nothing to do?

That's bad; they probably won't be able to get out before Contra.

The salted fish's life will have to be postponed again for now.
