"How about another hundred thousand?"
"Okay. Two hundred thousand gold soul coins. I'll give it to you." As he spoke, a gold card appeared in Xue Qinghe's hand out of nowhere.
Xue Qinghe placed the gold card on the table and gently pushed it in front of Lu Buliang. He smiled and said, "This card has a limit of 300,000 gold soul coins. That should be enough for you, right?"
Lü Buliang took the gold card, put it into his belt, and said politely, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will return these 300,000 gold soul coins a hundredfold in the future."
Xue Qinghe laughed, "No need. This little money is nothing to me. Lu Buliang, with your martial arts talent, you will definitely have a bright future. What you need to do now is to practice hard and don't think about paying back the money. This money is my sponsorship to you."
At this point, Xue Qinghe looked at Tuoba Xiang and Luo Siqi and said, "You two too. You must improve your strength as soon as possible and don't let me down."
Tuoba Xiang and Luo Siqi bowed to Xue Qinghe at the same time and said, "Your Highness, we will not let you down!"
"Since neither of you wants anything, go and practice." Xue Qinghe gave his final instruction, "During this period of time when you return to the academy to live, you must make good use of the academy's mimesis training resources."
"Okay. Your Highness, we two brothers will take our leave first." After paying our respects, Luo Siqi and Tuoba Xiang left the dean's building together.
According to Xue Qinghe, these two senior brothers have already graduated, but they will stay in the academy for a while to use the mimesis field to assist in their training, in order to break through the bottlenecks of level 50 and level 60 respectively.
"Lü Buliang, you should also practice." Xue Qinghe looked at Lü Buliang and said, "My expectations for you are much higher than those of the two. Improve your strength as soon as possible so that you can avenge your village and parents as soon as possible. As long as it can assist you in your practice, let alone money, I will provide you with the best spirit rings or the most difficult to find practice resources. Correspondingly, you must let me see your growth as soon as possible. I look forward to the surprises you bring me."
"I will." After saying that, Lu Buliang left the dean's building.
Seeing that Lü Buliang's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Xue Qinghe's gentle eyes revealed a hint of sinisterness. In his opinion, Lü Buliang was just like Luo Siqi and Tuoba Xiang, and was completely under his control.
Now, he needs to train Lu Buliang, Luo Siqi and Tuoba Xiang into becoming powerhouses who can stand on their own as soon as possible, so that they can bring out their greatest value.
Only valuable chess pieces can make a good game of chess.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, smiled secretly. So far, the plan of the Hidden Empire was going perfectly.
"."
Walking out of the Dean's Building, Lu Buliang thought to himself that so far, the plan to obtain the magic grass was going perfectly.
The 300,000 gold soul coins given by Xue Qinghe should be enough to buy a well-made storage soul guide, as well as various detoxification and anti-poison items, right?
The next step in the plan was to find a time to go to the Sunset Forest to obtain the fairy herbs.
Returning to the grassland mimesis field, Lu Buliang found Ye Lingling sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, meditating very attentively, using the scent emitted by the surrounding plants to assist in his rapid cultivation.
Ye Lingling can be felt to be lonely and desolate all the time, which may be related to her family environment or personality.
Therefore, Dugu Yan felt that in the double fighting spirit in the practical class yesterday, Ye Lingling fell into self-blame and confusion because she caused Yu Tianheng to suffer his first defeat, and she needed someone to help her with psychological counseling.
Although Lu Buliang said that Ye Lingling had a good attitude and did not need anyone's encouragement to cheer up again.
But seeing Ye Lingling at this moment, he felt that Dugu Yan was right. Ye Lingling felt very self-blaming and confused, and really needed guidance and encouragement from others.
Ye Lingling often encouraged her teammates, but no one encouraged her, because everyone thought she was very strong, and the loneliness and desolation she showed were just normal, not negative emotions. So she didn't need others' encouragement and comfort.
But that's not the case.
The loneliness displayed by Ye Lingling was indeed a negative emotion.
Just imagine, a person who often encourages others must know the importance of encouragement. She must have rarely received encouragement from others when she was in a low period and had never felt this kind of warmth. That is why she often encourages others and does not want others to experience the same loneliness and desolation as herself.
Only when she could empathize with others did Ye Lingling think about encouraging others and helping them get out of the trough that she had never gotten out of.
In Lu Buliang's opinion, Ye Lingling is a kind-hearted girl without any decoration. She has a very pure kindness, just as pure as her Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul, which only has the ability to heal others.
At the same time, she also needs healing from others.
"Lingling." A sudden voice interrupted her practice. When she opened her eyes, Ye Lingling found that the person standing in front of her was Lu Buliang.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lingling asked.
Lü Buliang smiled and said, "I remember Dugu Yan said that every day off you would go to the city to buy some plant seeds and plant them. Tomorrow is a day off, are you going too?"
Ye Lingling nodded, "Last time I made an appointment with the owner of a flower shop in the city. He will help me find the flower seeds I want. I will go and get them tomorrow."
"Can I go with you tomorrow?" Lu Buliang said, "I also need to go to the city to buy something."
"What do you want to buy?" Ye Lingling asked.
Lu Buliang said truthfully: "I want to go to the auction house to see if there is any soul guide I want for auction."
"Even low-quality soul guides are very expensive." Ye Lingling reminded, "Do you have money?"
"Yes." Lu Buliang smiled, "But I have never been to an auction house, so I don't know the rules there. Besides, most of the people who stay at the Heaven Dou City auction house are nobles. I am a commoner, and I am afraid of getting into trouble if I go to the Heaven Dou auction house alone."
Ye Lingling thought about it and responded, "Okay, I'll take you to the auction house tomorrow."

The next day.
Morning.
Today is a day off. All teachers and students have free time for the whole day.
Yu Tianheng, Oslo, Yufeng, Shi Mo and Shi Mo went to those romantic places secretly under the pretext of fighting in the great fighting arena of Heaven Dou City, enjoying the licentious and luxurious life of the aristocracy.
Dugu Yan went home to visit her grandfather Dugu Bo.
Ye Lingling would use her days off to go to the flower shop in Heaven Dou City to buy plant seeds, or carefully take care of the flowers and plants planted in the dormitory.
On this day off, Lu Buliang and Ye Lingling went to Heaven Dou City together. One reason was to go to the Heaven Dou Auction House to see if there were any storage soul guides up for auction, and the other was to accompany Ye Lingling to the flower shop to pick up some goods.
They hailed a carriage at the entrance of the academy and after about an hour's journey, they arrived at the gate of Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy was built in the mountains 20 kilometers away from Heaven Dou City. It had been a month since Lu Buliang joined the academy. Today was his first time to walk out of the academy and wander around Heaven Dou City.
As they entered the city gate, the scene inside was truly breathtaking, with bustling streets and bursts of noise in the air.
Heaven Dou City is worthy of being the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. The streets are wide and clean, and most of the residential buildings look so high-end and full of aristocratic atmosphere.
If it weren't for the big words "Heaven Dou City" written on the city gate, Lu Buliang would definitely feel that he had come to visit a famous scenic spot on Earth, and would be filled with emotion.
Faced with such a majestic city, Lu Buliang wanted to praise it with poetry, but due to his lack of education and lack of memorization of poems, he could only say "Wow".
Under the leadership of Ye Lingling, Lu Buliang rushed towards the Heaven Dou Auction House while admiring the bustling street scene.
Various shops line the streets, and peddlers come and go, creating a scene of prosperity and splendor.
According to the original novel, the Heaven Dou Empire should be governed by culture, education, rituals and music. Therefore, the martial spirit inherited by the Heaven Dou royal family is the noble swan martial spirit, and they will also open a school like "Yuexuan" that teaches culture, education, rituals and music.
The Star Luo Empire advocates ruling the country by force, so the inherited martial spirit of the Star Luo royal family is the White Tiger martial spirit, which symbolizes strength. In the Star Luo Empire, the Great Fighting Spirit Arena is the most popular facility, and only those with strong strength are worthy of being called nobles.
In addition to the two empires, there is also the Spirit Hall and the seven major sects. Once problems arise in one of these forces on the continent, the peace of the continent will disappear.
Looking back at the various plots of the original novel, before they knew it, Lu Buliang and Ye Lingling had already reached the city center.
There is a dome building not far ahead. The building looks very strange. It is round all over, like half a ball hanging on the ground.
There was no name plate on it, just a picture of a hammer.
Lü Buliang was attracted by the dome-shaped building in front of him: "What is that place?"
"That's the Heaven Dou Auction House." Ye Lingling said calmly, "The hammer pattern on it is the auction house's special auction hammer logo."
