Chapter 36, The Gold of Life and Electrolux
After a few minor incidents...
Huo Yuhao and his group finally arrived in Luoyang.
The place was not as bustling as he had seen before; instead, it was rather dilapidated.
But this is for the best.
This proves that there are not many truly strong individuals in this area.
"Tower Master, where should we start building next?"
Su Tong stared at the undulating street, finding no suitable spot at all.
This place is not only too dilapidated.
It's fine if there aren't many people.
This city seems smaller than usual, and the people living inside are cramped together, so how can a spirit transmission tower be built?
"If you are unsure about something, you can ask the city lord."
Huo Yuhao focused his gaze on the magnificent building at the very center.
To make a name for yourself here, you need to win over the local bigwigs.
"Halt! No unauthorized personnel allowed in the city lord's residence."
Just as the two reached the door, they were stopped by two guards.
"Ha, would the city lord of this place dare to give me a look?"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, and as the spirit crystal in his spiritual sea exploded, an unimaginable pressure instantly covered the entire city lord's mansion.
The two guards closest to them immediately knelt down.
His eyes were dull and lifeless.
Clearly, this contains some psychological attacks.
"Please, sir, have mercy! Please have mercy!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a burly build, as tall as an iron tower, rushed out of the room as if his buttocks were on fire.
Wiping the large beads of cold sweat from his forehead, he glanced at the guard lying on the ground, and suddenly realized what was happening. Trembling like a leaf, he asked in a low voice, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"I need a piece of land," Huo Yuhao said directly.
"Ah, this..."
Upon hearing this, the city lord was immediately stunned.
If you want something big, you can just grab it directly. You don't need to come here to report it, or you'll scare him into thinking it's an enemy force coming to harvest his heads.
"Huh? No way?"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes, which were faintly visible under his cloak, flashed with a dazzling light, like a deep starry sky.
It's like saying, "If you don't give it to me..."
Try and see if I hit you or not.
Upon witnessing this sudden turn of events, the city lord shivered instantly, like a leaf falling in a cold wind, and hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, it would be our greatest honor for you to take control of Luoyang City!"
"Whatever territory you want, I'll give it to you."
"I hope so."
"Don't worry, you won't work for nothing, and you won't be shortchanged on benefits."
Huo Yuhao casually tossed a storage ring into the city lord's hand and said calmly, "There are ten million gold soul coins inside. I need you to build me a Spirit Transmission Tower."
Upon hearing the word "money," the eyes of the man from the city lord's mansion instantly lit up like stars, gleaming with greed. He rubbed his hands together and said cheerfully, "Leave it to me, don't worry."
"We guarantee it will be built for you within a month, as fast as bamboo shoots after a spring rain."
Huo Yuhao could only nod calmly.
A month isn't a long time.
"My lord, you may not have a place to stay. My city lord's mansion has many rooms. Please come in."
The city lord, all smiles, welcomed Huo Yuhao and Su Tong, these two benefactors, inside.
Ten million gold soul coins.
This is a huge sum of money.
He could probably kick in over three million gold soul coins.
If handled well, they might even have another Soul Saint as a backer in the future.
"Don't bother us unless there's something wrong."
Upon arriving at a courtyard, Huo Yuhao glanced at the city lord in front of him and spoke.
How could he not know that a tower couldn't possibly cost that much?
However, doing so is more beneficial than harmful.
He wanted to develop his business properly. While his illusory strength could certainly help him thrive, it was ultimately no match for winning people's hearts.
Yes, he intends to bring the city lord in front of him into his fold.
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
You can arrange for the other party to handle anything, which also makes it easier for you to cultivate.
It is beneficial for both sides.
Back in his room, Huo Yuhao didn't even have time to admire the luxurious space. He simply left a mental imprint on the door before collapsing onto the soft bed.
He was really exhausted during this period.
I need to get some rest.
……
Rabbits dart and falcons swoop, a faint light shimmers.
The next afternoon.
Huo Yuhao regained his senses after a moment of confusion.
My gaze drifted to the azure sky outside the window, and I stretched, feeling incredibly relaxed.
"Then, let's begin the formalities."
Huo Yuhao stretched his limbs briefly, then took out a pitch-black box with his other hand.
And inside is the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
As soon as it was opened, a fierce and chilling aura, like a surging black torrent, rushed straight towards Huo Yuhao.
Instantly.
The entire sea of spirit was like a powder keg that had been ignited, boiling over.
"presumptuous!"
Like a sleeping dragon awakened, Hyotei sensed the danger, and her emerald green spiritual energy surged forth like a raging wave.
He tried to dispel that evil thought.
The moment the two collided, Hyotei's mental power was directly eroded, and he showed a faint tendency to rebel.
This is what makes evil spirit masters so strange.
"This is... the cursed gold of life?"
Amidst the raging flames of war, Tianmeng awoke.
When he noticed the cursed gold of life, his heart skipped a beat.
Such a wonderful thing, and people have ruined it like this.
It is truly a waste of nature's resources.
"I will help you eliminate evil thoughts."
Tenmu also joined the battle, attempting to forcefully expel this evil thought together with Hyotei.
The entire spiritual sea was transformed into a battlefield in an instant.
Three powerful abilities collided continuously.
Huo Yuhao, the instigator, also looked rather unwell at this moment.
He had anticipated that this thing would be difficult to deal with.
I never expected it to be so difficult.
Even he himself, if he hadn't been protecting Zafkiel in front of him, would obviously have been included in the attack range.
"Little bugs, little scorpions, let this old man handle it."
At this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out, and a gray current of energy quietly emerged. As soon as it touched the fierce and evil power, the opponent retreated like a mouse seeing a cat.
Clearly, Electrolux has awakened.
"Little fellow with divine power, could you lend me your body?" Electrox appeared in the sea of consciousness as a phantom black shadow.
"You old codger, you're not planning something bad, are you?"
Tianmeng was the first to jump out and question it.
This guy, who was trying to steal him back then, hasn't shown up for so long. Now he suddenly appears, and all he talks about is possessing someone.
Who knows what bad things they might be up to.
Although the person in front of me seemed very strong, that was in the past.
With that ethereal wisp of spiritual power, Brother Tianmeng could suppress it with a flick of his hand.
"Brother Tianmeng, don't make things difficult for Elder Yi." At this moment, Huo Yuhao appeared in the Sea of Spirit and blocked Tianmeng's way.
"Oh, you know me?"
Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao with curiosity.
He had never woken up, so how did this little guy in front of him know his name?
"Because I saw your past in time." Huo Yuhao pointed at Emperor Keke, attributing everything to it.
"The power of time?"
"...Indeed, it is mysterious and unpredictable."
Electrolux didn't dwell on it too much. He looked through the Sea of Spirit to the Gold of Life and said calmly, "Although you possess the inheritance of a god, this Gold of Life is beneficial to both of us."
"Yes, I believe in Elder Yi."
"Please possess me!"
