Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 547 Peaceful Evolution

Mingdou Academy will also set up two major departments: Soul Guidance and Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao arranged Ye Yulin to serve as the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Mingdou Academy naturally based on many considerations.

First of all, this position must have enough prestige and strength to convince Sun and Moon. Kong Deming is in seclusion and does not care about worldly affairs. Jing Hongchen is already in a high position with many affairs. Looking at Sun and Moon, there is no more suitable candidate than Ye Yulin.

Another reason, as Ye Yulin guessed, was to continue to divide the original power structure of the Sun Moon Empire. Old-time ninth-level soul masters like Ye Yulin were transferred away, and the army was waiting for rising stars like Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan to slowly take control. It can be said that Sun Moon will soon be the world of Mingde Hall.

As for those royal disciples, they may have been living a life of luxury under the shadow of Xu Tianran and forgotten the sense of crisis. They have not yet realized that it will be impossible for them to be idle princes in the near future.

And this can be regarded as stabilizing the old war factions such as Ye Yulin, suggesting that they should not provoke disputes privately. His Majesty will not forget you loyal predecessors, but he did this for his own reasons, and the continent will eventually be unified.

Although their original intention was bad, Huo Yuhao forced them to carry out their orders.

As a ruler, a human emperor only needs to balance the interests of the various small groups under him, but the Beast God Di Tian has a lot to consider. Just thinking about whether to kill the disobedient soul beast with his left or right palm is already very confusing.

Huo Yuhao, the vice-dean of the Soul Guidance Department, had also decided on a candidate, Xuan Ziwen. However, he preferred to stay in the laboratory rather than the Management College, so Huo Yuhao originally thought that he would decline the offer and was ready to look for other candidates, but he did not expect Xuan Ziwen to agree so readily.

"I will go. The hall master has talked to us about this many times. Mingde Hall cannot ignore it. It's better to send me. I don't have many enemies in the court. Ye Yulin has no hostility towards me." Xuan Ziwen said. He has always been a man without ambitions. He doesn't care whether he is excluded or not.

"It's just that..." Xuan Ziwen changed the subject and murmured with a frown, "I'm a little worried about someone."

“Who?” Huo Yuhao quickly realized what Xuan Ziwen was referring to. “Juzi?”

Xuan Ziwen nodded and admitted: "Well, she now locks herself in the underground laboratory every day. She will complete the tasks I assign to her, but from what I know about her, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for her to let go. If I leave..."

Huo Yuhao smiled comically: "Teacher Xuan, are you worried that she will take this opportunity to restore the previous dynasty and make a comeback?"

"I'm not worried about that. Now everyone who knows her identity is very secretive about her. Even if she goes out, no one will support her." Xuan Ziwen shook his head with certainty, and then showed a serious expression, "I'm worried that she will feel desperate and seek revenge herself."

Huo Yuhao fell silent after hearing this, and did not doubt the possibility of this speculation.

He said calmly, "Senior Ke Ke should have met the graduation standards, right? Then let them stay in Mingdu and Mingde Hall together. As a teacher, you have done your best. Let her bear all the consequences herself."

Xuan Ziwen nodded and said nothing more. To be fair, it was a great favor for Ju Zi to not be held accountable after Xu Tianran's downfall. If she still refused to give up, then even the gods could not save her.

He turned to another topic: "Master, you mentioned to me that you attach great importance to this academy and this city. You want to change the situation of the entire continent through this academy and defeat other countries without the use of war. How do you plan to do it?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and replied: "It's very simple. This is the strategy of peaceful evolution. We don't need to spend a single soldier. We can use the advanced technology and trade of the Sun-Moon Empire to induce other countries to spontaneously move closer to us."

"The other three countries are not united internally, so we can take this opportunity to win over some forces that are close to us. Teacher Xuan, you can do me a big favor by going there this time."

Xuan Ziwen asked curiously, "What?"

Huo Yuhao said slowly: "In fact, apart from the royal families of various countries, the major sects are also a group of forces that cannot be underestimated. To some extent, they are even more difficult to deal with than the royal families."

"The royal families are basically only based in the capitals of various countries, while the sects are scattered all over the place. Some hidden sects that have been passed down for thousands of years have their own secret methods and their industries are spread all over the place."

"The sects in the Sun-Moon Territory are not powerful, and they don't realize that these sects are impossible to eradicate. Even if the Sun-Moon Empire conquers the Three Kingdoms, it will definitely treat these sects well so as not to shake its rule."

"So I plan to win over a group of sects, and then use the power of these sects to expand the influence of the Sun Moon Empire in other countries."

Xuan Ziwen gradually became interested: "Who are you planning to win over?"

“You and Mingde Hall should be familiar with this sect. It’s the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.” Huo Yuhao replied, “The daughter of their current sect master was exchanged with Sun Moon Academy, and you even received her assistance. Moreover, the annual trade between the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Mingde Hall is not a small amount. There is no better candidate than them.”

"Do you want to win over the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect through Ning Tian? Mingde Hall does have a relationship with them." Xuan Ziwen understood his thoughts a little.

“Just having friendship is not enough. We must have enough benefits, enough benefits to make people forget about their country.” Huo Yuhao smiled confidently, “I plan to make the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect the only authorized distributor of Mingde Hall’s civilian soul guides exported outside the Sun Moon Empire.”

Even Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this. No one knew better than him how much benefit this meant.

The soul guides of Mingde Hall have always been synonymous with wealth. Before the export was liberalized, high-level soul guides were always sold at sky-high prices at auctions. Now that the export has been gradually liberalized, the market prospects can be imagined. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect participated in it, even if it was simply a middleman, plucking feathers from passing geese, and countless gold soul coins were deposited into the account every day.

"Then why did you do this?" Xuan Ziwen asked in surprise.

"My requirements are not high for now. I just want them to send some direct disciples to study here every year, especially Ning Tian's cousins."

Although it is not gender discrimination, the next leader of the Jiubao Liuli Sect will probably have to be chosen from Ning Tian’s cousins ​​and nephews.

Of course, Huo Yuhao’s plan was not limited to this. Although he had given such a great benefit to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he was not in a hurry to ask the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to pay anything, nor was he worried that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would refuse.

However, there is almost no free lunch in the world. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was attracted by his benefits, but Huo Yuhao was attracted by the entire Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

As one of the three major sects on the mainland and an auxiliary martial spirit sect, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has a huge amount of affiliated sect power and its influence is immeasurable.

Xuan Ziwen hesitated and said, "But since such a huge interest is involved, will the royal families of various countries allow it?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said, “The royal family has its own dealings with each other. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect belongs to the common people. Besides, Mingde Hall doesn’t necessarily represent the royal family.”

"Teacher Xuan, you can set up a chamber of commerce in your own name, and then sell the things of Mingde Hall from you to Jiubao Liuli Sect. Then the royal families of various countries won't know about it, right?"

Xuan Ziwen was stunned, frowned and carefully thought about the hidden logic.

He was not wondering what was puzzling about this simple step, but he vaguely discovered that this relationship based on trade could easily desecrate the supreme imperial power.

While he was thinking, Huo Yuhao said, “I believe the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will definitely agree, because in addition to the soul guide, I have another thing that they cannot refuse, and that is the soul ring.”

Xuan Ziwen came back to his senses: "You mean the shared spirit ring? It's a great discovery, enough to subvert the entire spirit master system."

As he spoke, he thought of something, rummaged through the bookcase next to him, and pulled out a stack of documents.

"I didn't expect that my invention would be eliminated before it could be popularized."

“What is this…?” Huo Yuhao was stunned.

"This is the soul ring storage device I invented. You should have learned it before." Xuan Ziwen's eyes showed a trace of regret.

Sometimes scientific research is so cruel that even if the results are finally achieved after much hard work, they may not be able to be widely used.

Huo Yuhao quickly took the blueprint from Xuan Ziwen and said, “Teacher Xuan, who said your invention is outdated? Maybe it can be combined with the research on shared spirit rings.”

Xuan Ziwen's mind finally came to a conclusion, and he said happily, "Yes. The original purpose of my invention was to make it easier for spirit masters to store spirit rings. It does not conflict with the discovery of shared spirit rings."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Then I will borrow this blueprint temporarily.”

"I'll wait for your good news." Xuan Ziwen packed up for a while and said, "I'll go to Mingde Hall to make the final arrangements and go to Mingdou next week."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Huo Yuhao quickly glanced at the drawings in his hand. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that the design was ingenious. It was obvious that Xuan Ziwen had put a lot of effort into it.

At this moment, Electrolux's old voice quietly emerged: "Child, I don't know if that girl finally let go of the hatred in her heart."

Huo Yuhao knew that he was referring to oranges.

He snorted, "It's best if you can let it go. If you can't, I can't do anything about it. If the dignified Duke of White Tiger can let a sixth-level soul master assassinate this marshal, then he shouldn't be the marshal anymore."

"If she can really succeed in her revenge on her own, it's her own ability. Teacher Xuan should be proud of her."
