Chapter 61 Cooperation
Chapter 61 Cooperation
Several days later, Xiao Xiao's letter finally arrived. The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiao's father, was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, and her father was the pillar of the Xiao family—a Title Douluo.
If it were merely a letter from his daughter, it might not have been enough to warrant his personal visit. However, the presence of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the weight of the mysterious Spirit Transmission Tower made all the difference.
Upon receiving the letter and the joint invitation from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, he immediately decided to set off.
The day of the meeting finally arrived.
Ning Qing, the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, a middle-aged man with a gentle and refined demeanor, arrived on time with his daughter Ning Tian.
Xiao Zhen, the head of the Xiao family, was a burly man with sharp eyes. He came with the excited Xiao Xiao.
Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, and his capable assistant Fan Yu, looked expectant and a little nervous.
Tang Ya, the leader of the Tang Clan, and her senior brother Bei Bei, as hosts and allies, were also present.
Finally, there are the representatives from the Spirit Pagoda: the young tower master Huo Yutong, and her two "older sisters," Biji and Ziji, who go by the aliases Huo Biling and Huo Ziyan.
All factions gathered in the council hall that the Tang Clan had meticulously prepared.
Inside the council chamber, the aroma of tea wafted through the air, yet the atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
After everyone took their seats as host and guest, their eyes were all focused on Brigitte, who was sitting next to the host.
The mysterious woman's calm and composed demeanor made both Ning Qing, the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Xiao Zhen, the patriarch of the Xiao family, two seasoned and powerful figures, secretly feel awe.
Ning Qing spoke first: "Your Excellency Huo Biling, Xiao Tian has already told me the whole story."
May I ask what specific terms are involved in the in-depth cooperation you mentioned?
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Brigitte's reply.
Bi Ji smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping peacefully over Ning Qing and Xiao Zhen: "Sect Master Ning, Patriarch Xiao."
The basis for cooperation is, naturally, the elixir.
My Spirit Pagoda can reliably provide elixirs; your sect can exchange them for rare metals, medicinal herbs, or financial resources.
The specific proportions can be discussed in detail later.
Ning Qingyun nodded slightly, as expected, but Bi Ji's next words made both her and Xiao Zhentian hold their breath.
"However, this is only the beginning," Brigitte said calmly, as if stating something perfectly natural.
"My Spirit Pagoda has a long history and has accumulated considerable knowledge in the Dao of Alchemy."
It is possible to develop exclusive auxiliary pills, which may improve the quality of martial spirits, accelerate cultivation, or break through bottlenecks.
The specific effects of the medicine can only be determined after a thorough understanding of the characteristics of your martial spirit.
"Exclusive pills?!"
Ning Qing solemnly declared, "If that's truly the case, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to give its all to support the Spirit Transmission Tower!"
Ning Qing had already learned from Ning Tian's letter that Bi Ji's words were an opportunity for a breakthrough in martial soul. After this meeting, Ning Qing decided to take the gamble. Tonight, he would write a letter asking the sect to send all the information about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul to the Spirit Pagoda.
Xiao Zhen's voice boomed like thunder as he immediately declared, "The Xiao family feels the same way! We will never refuse any request!"
Just then, Zi Ji, who was sitting next to Bi Ji, seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not lively enough, and waved her hand.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Several beams of light flashed, accompanied by a heavy thud as they landed, and seven or eight soul bones appeared on the ground in the center of the council hall!
These soul bones exude a gentle yet powerful energy fluctuation, with varying colors. Although they appear to be between a hundred and a thousand years old, they are of excellent quality and come in a complete range of types, covering almost all limb bones, skull bones, and torso bones!
"Talking about cooperation is meaningless without substance." Zi Ji's voice carried a hint of wild, unrestrained freedom.
"These soul bones are a gift from our Spirit Pagoda."
The two sect leaders can allocate them as they see fit, giving them to their most outstanding junior disciples first. As for better ones…”
"As cooperation deepens, there will naturally be more."
Looking at the pile of soul bones on the ground, enough to make any sect envious, Ning Qingyun and Xiao Zhentian were already somewhat numb.
Elixirs guarantee future potential, while soul bones enhance immediate combat power!
The Spirit Pagoda's actions are becoming more and more astonishing!
Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, felt a dryness in his throat as he looked at the scene before him where "elixirs and soul bones flew together".
He was happy for the Tang Clan and the two families, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy about the purpose of his trip.
After all, what they discussed in Xian Lin'er's office was to wait for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Xiao family to arrive before discussing the matter together, as the supply of Spirit Pagoda items was limited.
He cleared his throat, trying to keep his voice steady: "Your Excellency Huo Biling, Your Excellency Huo Ziyan."
On behalf of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, I also hope to establish cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda.
What we need are mainly some rare metal minerals, such as 'Star Silver Marrow', 'Molten Refined Gold', and 'Void Crystal'. These are the core materials for making high-level soul tools and are extremely scarce on the market..."
Upon hearing this, Brigitte turned to Qian Duoduo, her face still bearing a warm and inviting smile:
"Dean Qian, there's no need to be so polite. The minerals you mentioned are indeed found in some of our clan's mineral veins."
Zi Ji was even more direct, waving her hand and saying in a somewhat matter-of-fact tone: "Hey, I thought it was some kind of treasure."
What you're describing, Dean Qian, isn't exactly rare in some of our ethnic group's mineral resources, though it's not exactly ubiquitous.
Many mineral veins are located next to the lairs of ancient soul beasts. They wouldn't even use them to sharpen their claws or line their nests, it's just that your soul masters lack the ability to mine them.
"A...a bed?" Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu were dumbfounded, their facial muscles twitching.
The core material that they desperately wanted and treasured was treated like this by Zi Ji.
Brigitte chimed in at the opportune moment, her tone gentle yet brimming with powerful confidence: "Exactly."
These minerals are not very useful to our people, but their extraction requires coordination to avoid conflict.
The Spirit Pagoda can serve as a stable source of materials for the Soul Guidance System.
Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu exchanged a glance and saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes!
If a stable and high-quality supply of rare metals can be obtained, the development of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department will be unimpeded, and it may even be able to quickly surpass the Sun Moon Empire!
"Excellent! Lady Huo Biling, Lady Huo Ziyan, the Soul Guidance Department is willing to cooperate fully!"
Qian Duoduo stood up excitedly.
Bi Ji smiled and nodded, her gaze sweeping across the entire room once more: "In that case, the cooperation framework between my Spirit Pagoda and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Xiao Family, the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect is hereby tentatively established."
We'll discuss the specific details one by one. First, there's the construction of the Spirit Pagoda branch, and the planning for the land across the street…”
Inside the council chamber, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, and a profound cooperation that could change the power structure on the mainland was about to begin.
Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao looked at everything before them, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
Huo Yutong sat quietly beside Biji and Ziji. She knew that the Spirit Pagoda's mission to protect the peace between soul beasts and humans had finally taken a solid and crucial step.
As for the Xuanming Sect, Xu Sanshi's letter was still on its way. Ning Tian's letter was delivered by express courier. After Xu Sanshi's father received the letter, all the goods from the Spirit Pagoda were ordered by Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, the Medicine Pavilion, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Xiao Family.
Father Xu decided that he would give his son a beating when he came back from vacation. This kid was really a tortoise; he couldn't even use an urgent message like this.
Xu Sanshi: I have no money.
