Chapter 215

~8 min read 1,412 words

Star Luo City's territory was vast, yet it still retained city walls that were already extremely rare on the Douluo Continent; its overall appearance resembled an ancient-era city more than anything else.

Even more eye-catching was that the city walls were equipped with various soul guide weapons as a defense system, which undoubtedly highlighted the instability and tension of the Star Luo Empire's current situation.

However, what surprised Duo Qing Douluo, Zhen Hun Douluo, and the others was that along the way they discovered the Star Luo Empire's residents seemed to indeed be living peaceful and prosperous lives.

Clearly there was something like a human dan, yet they maintained surface order... just what was Star Luo thinking?

Amidst their confusion, the delegation was arranged to rest in the luxurious Star Luo Grand Hotel. Upon entering, many students collapsed directly onto the beds from travel fatigue.

Three days later, the delegation would receive an audience with the Star Luo royal family; if they didn't rest now, there would be even less time later.

But for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, the time to rest had not yet come.

After arriving in the Star Luo interior, Gu Yue Na could sense the Dragon Tomb was right here, only pinpointing its exact location would take time. During this period Huo Yuhao also did not intend to stay idle.

Since they had come to Star Luo with the status of official members, they naturally had to exert the value contained in that identity.

Perhaps he could find information on the Dragon Valley before Gu Yue Na did.

"Let's go out for a walk."

After eating dinner, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na walked out side by side, and behind them followed a woman with delicate features.

Her name was Le Xiao Ling, one of the guards arranged by Star Luo.

Because of the previous attack from the Dawn Society, the Star Luo Federation seemed very worried about similar situations recurring, so they arranged many guards for the delegation members. If needed, they could also serve as guides for everyone in Star Luo.

Star Luo City at night was brilliantly lit; soul guidance lamps along the streets emitted a soft glow. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na strolled on the stone slab road, looking leisurely but actually observing every detail of this city.

After walking on the pedestrian street for a while, Huo Yuhao asked, "Miss Le, I see Star Luo City's interior is very lively right now — is it because of the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament? For such a lively grand event, does Star Luo City have any auctions being held?"

Le Xiao Ling, who had long noticed the two were searching for something, considered for a moment, then replied respectfully, "There is indeed an auction today, but the invitations have all been sent out. Of course, if the two of you wish to attend, I can handle the relevant procedures."

Huo Yuhao glanced sideways, "I wonder what items are up for auction this time? Are there any items related to soul beasts?"

"That is naturally the case, only I don't know what you are looking for? Any specific requirements?"

"I want to collect soul beast genetic information; any soul beast species that don't exist on the Douluo Continent will do." Seeing Le Xiao Ling reveal a puzzled expression at these words, Huo Yuhao explained softly, "I am also a Soul Spirit Researcher of the Spirit Pagoda; that soul beast genetic information can be used to manufacture artificial spirit souls."

Le Xiao Ling was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "That might be a bit difficult; the number of soul beasts on our Star Luo Continent is much fewer compared to the Douluo Continent, and the varieties aren't rich either; there may be very few that can satisfy you."

Huo Yuhao laughed, "Just looking around casually; if someone is willing to provide very precious soul beast genetic information, I'll exchange via barter, absolutely won't let them suffer a loss. Just don't know if they can accept this kind of transaction method."

Speaking to this point, Huo Yuhao gave Le Xiao Ling a meaningful look.

The latter was first puzzled, then seemed to think of something, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Things that carry soul beast genetic information can be blood, or they can be soul bones.

What could a Two-Word Battle Armor Master like Huo Yuhao have that could be exchanged for soul bones?

He is the Spirit Pagoda's next Tower Master, so naturally it is... spirit souls!

Le Xiao Ling, believing she understood Huo Yuhao's meaning, immediately responded, "I understand!"

Facing the Spirit Pagoda honored guest's request, Le Xiao Ling did not dare to be negligent, and rapidly began searching relevant records.

At the same time, she also began secretly contacting her own family and friends.

This is an opportunity to obtain high-level spirit souls, absolutely not to be missed.

If it were the Douluo Continent, the value of soul bones and spirit souls is still somewhat hard to measure, but on the Star Luo Continent side, the value of spirit souls is much higher than soul bones.

No soul master family dares say their family will never decline; that kind of combat power which can be inherited — spirit souls — is the best guarantee.

After all, not to mention other things, if one day their family declines to the point of having no strong expert to protect the younger generation in hunting soul rings, then having spirit souls and not having spirit souls are two completely different matters.

With spirit souls, the younger generation can still improve; without spirit souls, they can only hope for the upper echelons to allocate soul rings or take risks hunting soul rings at sea... neither is easy.

Watching Le Xiao Ling bustling about, Gu Yue Na blinked, pulled Huo Yuhao closer, and transmitted softly, "Yuhao, is this really useful?"

"Sister Na, don't forget our identities." Huo Yuhao smiled, "We are the Spirit Pagoda's future, and moreover we are delegation members representing the Federation visiting Star Luo."

"No matter what view Star Luo's high-ranking officials hold of us, as long as they don't openly declare war on Douluo, then in the eyes of the people below in Star Luo, we are people who can be cooperated with. Don't ignore the attraction of spirit souls to them and the influence the Spirit Pagoda can bring here; they will act for the sake of possible benefits..."

Just like Le Xiao Ling is doing right now.

Because of one sentence from Huo Yuhao, half of Star Luo City mobilized.

Even if the auction originally didn't have what Huo Yuhao wanted, the now-mobilized Star Luo Federation would put the things he needed up for auction.

Even if they can't directly obtain spirit souls, gaining the favor of Huo Yuhao, this future Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, isn't bad either. In this way they can connect with the Spirit Pagoda and seek profit through it.

It was precisely under such circumstances that Huo Yuhao found what he needed — several pieces of incomplete dragon bones.

The Dragon Valley is located in Star Luo; no matter who the discoverer was, things flowing out from inside would definitely be digested by some Star Luo people. Huo Yuhao utilized this point to obtain them.

Sitting in the auction's private room, looking at the incomplete dragon bones Huo Yuhao bought from the auction, Gu Yue Na fell into deep thought.

She originally thought the one to find the Dragon Tomb first would definitely be herself, only needing time. But looking at the current situation, Yuhao casually promising a few sentences in Star Luo had an effect many times better than her, the legitimate Silver Dragon King, searching herself?

The intelligence delivered itself right to the door!

Gu Yue Na raised her head, looking toward the Star Luo person chatting happily with Huo Yuhao to the side.

This is the soul master who provided the dragon bones as auction items.

However, because they are incomplete dragon bones, they naturally wouldn't get high-level spirit souls in exchange...

Of course, Huo Yuhao never had that intention to begin with.

After finalizing the transaction details with the middle-aged man before him, Huo Yuhao cut straight to the point, "I'd like to ask presumptuously, I wonder where in Star Luo these soul bones originate from? Which soul beast gathering place has so many dragon-type soul beasts?"
