Chapter 89: One-Fifth of Mingde Hall
Fan Yu was slightly taken aback; he looked at Huo Yuhao with a gentle gaze and patted his shoulder.
In the days that followed, in addition to his Cultivation, Huo Yuhao took the opportunity to record nearly all of Mingde Hall's spirit tool blueprints.
With the help of his Divine Sense, Huo Yuhao entered Mingde Hall as if he were returning home; he even took a stroll through the secret room where the humanoid spirit tools were stored.
Ji Juechen had not yet awakened; he had been in deep meditation for over two months. After all, the Aura he had comprehended was far stronger than the one Huo Yuhao had in the original timeline.
Huo Yuhao estimated it would take at least another three months for him to wake up, and he wondered if his body could hold out.
On another day of wandering around the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Huo Yuhao was suddenly stopped by someone.
Looking at the clear and elegant young girl before him, Huo Yuhao didn't recognize her for a moment. Did they know each other?
While Huo Yuhao was feeling puzzled, the female student opposite him bowed somewhat constraintly, wanting to invite him for a private chat.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to refuse, Elder Yi's voice came from the Spirit Sea, "Yuhao, she has the Aura of the Holy Spirit Cult on her. It wouldn't hurt to go and see."
With the Aura of the Holy Spirit Cult on her, Huo Yuhao instantly knew who the person before him was—Nana, a character who had almost been a supporting female lead.
But what did she want with him? Hadn't the Holy Spirit Cult already been purged from the Capital City?
At a restaurant in the Capital City, Nana had booked a private room to treat Huo Yuhao to a meal.
"Pavilion Master Huo, I am very grateful to you for wiping out the branch of the Holy Spirit Cult. As a reward, I can—"
Seeing that Nana was about to start the whole self-sacrifice routine, Huo Yuhao quickly interrupted her.
"If you really want to repay me, come work for me at the Spirit Pagoda. If you join now, you can even enjoy veteran employee benefits."
"Can I really work under you? Thank you so much! Are you recruiting other Soul Masters? The others you rescued last time also want to repay you."
Huo Yuhao roughly understood how Nana had managed to find him so precisely. When he wiped out the three branches of the Holy Spirit Cult in the Capital City last time, he basically didn't kill anyone who didn't have vengeful spirits on them.
It must be that those people contacted Nana after they got out and told her his information.
"No problem, have them all come along. It just so happens that the Spirit Pagoda is quite short-handed right now."
A grey-gold Soul Ring emerged behind Huo Yuhao, and he raised his hand to remove the Holy Spirit Cult mark from Nana's body.
Immediately after, he took out over fifty Spirit Pagoda contracts and handed them to Nana. "These are the employment agreements. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign them."
Nana didn't even look; she directly used her mental force to write down her name, leaving Huo Yuhao a bit dazed. This was truly the reward for saving someone's parents.
After gaining over fifty ordinary members for the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao was in a good mood. The Spirit Pagoda finally looked like something.
It was also thanks to the fact that these members hadn't harmed ordinary people and weren't entangled with vengeful spirits. Those who had vengeful spirits had long been humanely destroyed by Huo Yuhao.
"You all leave the Sun Moon Empire first. Follow the nearest Shrek Academy visiting group that is about to leave and go back."
O
"Once you reach Shrek City, settle down at this location for the time being. I bought a courtyard there that is large enough for you to live in."
Influenced by habits from his past life, Huo Yuhao had bought a courtyard as large as a garden in Shrek City. After all, only after buying a house did he feel like he had a home.
Now it was perfect for them to stay temporarily, serving as the Early Stage base for the Spirit Pagoda.
Huo Yuhao led Nana and the remaining fifty-plus people toward the Capital City Hotel, where Elder Lin and the others were currently staying.
"Pavilion Master, why are you here? Are there arrangements for these people?"
After briefly introducing Nana and the others' situation, Huo Yuhao handed a list to Elder Lin.
"Elder Lin, the people on the rest of the list also need to follow you back. They are talents I recruited from within Mingde Hall."
Elder Lin looked at the names on the list in a daze. Recently, Huo Yuhao had been gradually recruiting over a hundred soul engineer students.
He hadn't expected that even High-level Soul Engineers within Mingde Hall couldn't withstand the Pavilion Master's recruitment.
Elder Lin didn't know how powerful Huo Yuhao's mental force was now. By asking a few simple questions, Huo Yuhao could roughly judge the success rate of recruitment.
It could be said that everyone who could be invited had been brought over, especially those who were frustrated in Mingde Hall and might have better prospects elsewhere.
"Elder Lin, this batch of soul engineers will be quietly escorted out of the Mingdou Mountain Range by me. Elder Xuan will meet us at the agreed location. We will try to maintain a consistent speed."
Elder Lin nodded. There were a full six Class 8 Soul Engineers, seventeen Class 7 Soul Engineers, and sixty-two Class 6 Soul Engineers on this list. It would be a miracle if they could just take them away directly.
After returning to the exchange student dormitory, Huo Yuhao also felt a bit nervous. After all, setting aside the soul engineers, almost all the young Spirit Emperors had been pulled to Shrek.
He was a little worried whether Mirror Hongchen would be unable to handle the high blood pressure and just collapse on the ground.
This wave of exchange was an absolute steal. It was equivalent to trading some One-Word Battle Armor technology for one-fifth of Mingde Hall, all the spirit tool blueprints, and a bunch of geniuses.
On a perfectly ordinary morning, several roars faintly echoed from the tallest building.
"What did you say? A large number of soul engineers have gone missing? They left a resignation letter on the desk saying they're retiring to their hometowns?"
"Lin Jiayi, where is your brain? They all resigned collectively on the same day, and you're telling this old man you'll find a way to persuade them? Isn't it obvious they were snatched away by Shrek Academy?"
"Yes, I am Mirror Hongchen. Please notify the Soul Engineer Legions at the border to intercept Shrek Academy's visiting group. Yes, there are High-level Soul Engineers from Mingde Hall among them."
The sound of a Spirit Communicator shattering was heard; the latest model of Spirit Communicator, imitated from Shrek City, was declared dead.
At this time, Huo Yuhao had left a Spiritual Divided Soul within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, while he himself was leading the group of soul engineers toward the Mingdou Mountain Range.
At the border Soul Engineer Legion, the soul engineers who received the order hurried to intercept Shrek Academy's visiting group. But looking at the young students among them, they really couldn't find anything unusual.
After carefully checking their identities, none of the people on the list were there. With no other reason to continue the obstruction, they could only let the visiting group leave first.
Of course, the most important pressure came from Xuan Zi, who was wearing top-tier Three-Word Battle Armor above the border. The dangerous Aura on him made the Soul Engineer Legion break out in a cold sweat.
They had heard this old man was unreasonable; if things really came to blows, it would be a disaster. After all, they hadn't found the resigned soul engineers, so they weren't in the right for now.
On the other side, Mirror Hongchen looked in shock at Lin Jiayi, who had come to report. "You're saying their families vanished into thin air this morning?"
Huo Yuhao expressed that this was what having powerful mental force was like. In the Sun Moon Empire, it was like being at home.
