"That's enough."
Tang Xiao shouted.
"Hasn't our Haotian Sect suffered enough due to our recklessness? The Soul Palace is so mysterious, and no one knows its true strength. Is the current Haotian Sect truly confident of defeating them?"
Tang Xiao's words silenced the elders who were clamoring to use their strength to communicate with the Soul Palace.
Tang Xiao continued, "Let's take a step back and say, even if we can defeat the Spirit Hall, have you considered the price we'll have to pay? Will the other sects and the Spirit Hall just sit back and watch? If your words truly translate, the Clear Sky Sect will likely be annihilated without a burial place."
The elder lowered his head and remained silent.
"Sect Master, the Seventh Elder was also impulsive. He was worried that our Haotian Sect was short of money and resources. The possibility of obtaining the Soul-Breaking Pill through an auction was too low."
Tang Xiao frowned and thought about it.
He also knew this. The mines, shops and many other resources that Haotian Sect had previously owned were completely lost after the battle with Wuhun Palace.
The current Haotian Sect is not completely penniless, but it is also stretched to the limit.
They were a bunch of hammer-wielding people, and apart from using force, they really couldn't think of any other opportunity to make a fortune quickly.
"Let's do this," an elder suggested.
"The four former affiliated sects have been staying in the outside world. We can let them return to the Haotian Sect and ask them to pay some gold soul coins. I think it shouldn't be a big problem."
This suggestion is much safer than directly confronting the Soul Palace.
"That's a good suggestion, but will they still be willing to submit to the Haotian Sect? Not to mention asking them to hand over the Gold Soul Coins."
The Seventh Elder sneered.
"Our Haotian Sect has protected them for so many years, so we should make them pay a price. So what if they don't want to? When they joined the Haotian Sect, it wasn't all voluntary in the beginning."
The Haotian Sect has always been domineering.
It was only after the conflict with the Spirit Hall and being hurt that he learned to restrain himself.
Tang Xiao also felt that this method was feasible and could temporarily alleviate the urgent needs of the Haotian Sect, but it still had some difficulties.
"The Power Clan is in Tiandou City, so they're relatively easy to find. The Min Clan isn't too far away either, but the Po Clan and the Yu Clan are quite a ways away, perhaps even in the Xingluo Empire. Furthermore, they might not have much wealth."
"We can always squeeze out some water to make them suffer so that the Haotian Sect can overcome the difficulties and they can continue to enjoy the protection." The second elder said slowly.
After several discussions, everyone felt that this method would make money faster.
"Seventh Elder, you are the youngest among us elders. Apart from the Li Clan in Tiandou City, you will be the one to visit the other clans."
"Alright."
Although the Seventh Elder is the youngest among the elders, he is also an old man. If it weren't for the fact that people below the Titled Douluo cannot suppress the four major clans with single attributes, he really would not bother to run away.
The discussion concluded and the elders dispersed.
Tang Xiao sighed.
It was really hard for him to support the broken ship of Haotian Sect, and at this time he missed his younger brother Tang Hao.
If nothing had happened back then, if the two brothers had joined forces, the situation of the Haotian Sect would definitely be much better.
…
In Wuhun City.
Bibi Dong frowned as she listened to her subordinates' report.
"Salas? It's not time for him to report yet, so why is he back in Wuhun City? Let him in."
That's right, in order to ensure the safe delivery of the Rejuvenating Pill to Wuhun City, and more importantly, to be able to personally deliver the Rejuvenating Pill to the Pope, Salas personally brought the Rejuvenating Pill back to Wuhun Hall.
"Your subordinate, Sarath, greets His Holiness the Pope."
Sarath, who could call the shots in all the martial spirit halls of the Tiandou Empire, was extremely respectful in front of Bibi Dong.
"Tell me." Bibi Dong's voice was high and mighty. "Why did you suddenly return to Wuhun City?"
Sarath said respectfully, "I won a medicinal pill at an auction in Tiandou City and am offering it to His Holiness the Pope."
"Pills?"
Thorny Porpoise Douluo had already arrived at the Spirit Hall a few days ago and handed the Soul-Breaking Pill to Bibi Dong.
After being taken, the Soul-Breaking Pill indeed increased the Spirit Hall disciple's soul power by one level.
Moreover, after examination by several elders, they all agreed that the Soul-Breaking Pill had no side effects.
An elder immediately suggested that if the Soul Hall could not be taken over for their own use, then it must be destroyed, otherwise it would definitely affect the status of the Spirit Hall.
But Bibi Dong did not agree.
It wasn't out of caution, nor was it because she was kind-hearted and didn't want to cause bloodshed.
She just had no interest in this. She didn't want, and was unwilling to let the Spirit Hall swallow up the Soul Hall and increase its strength.
Although she is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, deep down she actually always hopes to destroy the Spirit Hall. She doesn't want to see the Spirit Hall's strength continue to increase and become stronger.
"The Soul-Breaking Pill you sent back was also that?"
Sarath replied, "No, the elixir I present to His Holiness the Pope is called the Rejuvenating Pill. Taking it will preserve your youthful appearance and maintain eternal youth."
"oh?"
If what Sarath sent her was the Soul-Breaking Pill, she wouldn't care much. Even if it was a Soul-Breaking Pill of the seventh or eighth grade, it would not be attractive to her.
But the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill surprised her a little.
"Is this Rejuvenating Pill also made by the Soul Palace?"
"Yes, I also spent a lot of effort to buy this pill."
Saras has been working in the Spirit Hall for so many years, so of course he knows that he can't just do things without saying anything, and he must take credit when it is due.
"Leave the pills behind, and leave first."
"Yes, I will take my leave now."
Bibi Dong would never take the pill in front of him, so Sarath was not frustrated by Bibi Dong's cold attitude.
Bibi Dong picked up the bottle of Rejuvenating Pill only after Sarath left.
"Can you really achieve eternal youth and eternal youth?"
Bibi Dong broke through to the Titled Douluo level relatively early, and her appearance still remains relatively youthful.
But she still attaches great importance to the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill.
After opening the bottle cap, the faint fragrance of the elixir made her feel lighter.
Without hesitation, Bibi Dong took the anti-aging pill directly.
The cool medicinal effect dissolved, allowing Bibi Dong to feel the joy she hadn't felt in a long time. She could feel subtle changes taking place in her body.
After the medicinal power was completely refined, Bibi Dong walked to a mirror.
"Rejuvenating Pill, Rejuvenating Pill, it really lives up to its name."
Bibi Dong looked at the young face in the mirror, reached out to touch her own face, and was slightly dazed.
The youth gained from taking the Rejuvenating Pill is different from the youth maintained by using soul power. After taking the Rejuvenating Pill, Bibi Dong felt like she had returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Both the skin condition and appearance seem to have gone back in time and returned to their best condition.
She suddenly became a little dazed, as if she had really returned to her youth.
"It would be great if time could go back."
But suddenly, she remembered her former teacher and those days that were too painful for her to recall.
Crackling
The mirror shattered.
"Qianxunji, it's all your fault. You deserve to die. You destroyed everything I have, and I will also destroy the Spirit Hall that you cherish."
