Then, Ning Liu retracted the formation disk, and then said to the sound-transmitting soul guide in the room:

 "Li An, come to me now!"

 A moment later, the door was knocked, and after receiving permission, a middle-aged man walked in quickly.

 It is Li An, the manager of Qibao Auction House in Soto City.

  "My lord!"

  Lee An's face showed a trace of exhaustion from running around, but more of it was excitement that could not be concealed.

   "The competition is still going on, our auction, please don't let it get cold."

   Ning Liu turned around and said directly.

 Lee An nodded when he heard this and rubbed his hands in excitement.

  "Sect Master, your move is simply a stroke of genius!"

"Those people outside think that we spent a lot of money to host the competition and provide food and lodging for all the participating colleges. We are losing money to make a fuss and make ourselves fat."

"They can't imagine it. This money was spent, turned around, and doubled back into our pockets!"

Li An's tone became faster and faster, as if he was reporting a great victory.

  "Let's just say that our "Liu Li Pavilion" used to sell some elixirs and soul guides, and the business was pretty good."

  "But these days, among the sect elders and nobles who come from all the major kingdoms and principalities, who are not the ones who have their eyes set on the top?"

  "When they come here, after watching the last auction, they look at our products, and their attitude is completely different!"

"The elixirs and soul guides that I hesitated for a long time in the past are now rounded up without blinking an eye!"

 h "This is also the foresight of the Lord, who asked his subordinates to buy most of Soto City! Now, in Soto City, the basic necessities of life are us. "Our property, "Zui Xian Tower", has been booked for a private room for half a month, and people are even scrambling for standing tickets in the lobby!"

"Li An's every word is filled with the joy of making money."

  Ning Liu chuckled.

  "It's good that you can understand, but..."

  He sat back on the chair and said.

"Li An, please talk to Bai He and tell me that it is what I want. If you make money, you have to spend it."

"He is afraid of poverty, so he wants to keep it when he makes money. If so, the gold soul coins will pile up in the warehouse and become moldy."

"Increase investment to expand the industry of Soto City. If the manpower is not enough, recruit, and if the quality is not enough, raise it. "

 "Money, only when it flows, can we generate more money. Let everyone who follows us have money in their hands and a career."

 Li An nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his admiration for this young master reached a new level.

 This kind of pattern and this kind of skill are far beyond his imagination.

  "Yes, my lord! I understand!"

"By the way, how are the arrangements for what I told you after the auction ended yesterday?" Ning Liu changed the topic and his tone became calm, but Li An immediately put away the joy on his face and his expression became serious.

   "Replying to your lord, in accordance with your instructions, we have secretly acquired three abandoned private ports in Hanhai City on the east coast in the name of an ocean-going trading chamber, as well as a large area of land connected behind the ports."

  "At present, the first batch of craftsmen are here. and materials have been received through secret channels, and efforts are being made to build shipyards and warehouses. "

"Preliminary estimates are that within a month, up to five thousand-class ships can be berthed and replenished at the same time."

Ning Liu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Very good."

"However, one month is still too long, one week, I only give you one week!"

"Don't ask me what to do, as I said just now, don't be reluctant to spend money!"

"I understand!"

Li An's face straightened!

 "Keep watching, and report to me any progress at any time."

 "Go."

 "Yes!"

 Li An bowed and bowed, and then exited the room.

 When Ning Liu saw this, he closed his eyes and began to continue practicing.

  …

  At the same time.

  In Soto City, in a dilapidated hotel.

     

   The door was pushed open violently, and Flanders walked in, his face so gloomy that he could squeeze out water.

 As soon as he entered the door, he slapped the wooden table in front of him hard.

  「Bang!」

  The water glass on the table jumped.

Yu Xiaogang, who was leaning back and concentrating on recording and analyzing something, was suddenly disturbed by the movement and raised his head.

  He pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

   “What’s the matter, Flanders?”

   “The result of the draw is not ideal?”

   Flanders sat down on the chair.

  “Ideal? That’s okay!”

"We, Shrek, have been assigned to Area C!"

 h "Tianshui Academy, Botany Academy, and Fenyang Academy, these three old high-level soul master colleges are not good at all."

He clapped his fingers and said one by one.

  "The girls from Tianshui Academy all have water and ice attribute martial spirits, and they work well together, making them very difficult to deal with!"

  "Those freaks at the Botanical Academy, although their martial arts are mediocre, have to say that their soul power is quite high. They all have two soul sects!"

  "There is also the Burning Sun Academy, although there is only one soul sect, but all of them are fire-attribute attack types. If Xiao San encounters them, I'm afraid he won't be able to take advantage at all!"

  Yu Xiaogang finished listening, but his expression remained calm.

  “Isn’t this just right?”

"The more distinct the characteristics of the opponent, the easier it is for us to make targeted tactical arrangements."

He analyzed it slowly.
If you take more care of Ma Hongjun, the effect will be remarkable. He has just broken through to Soul Master. Although the soul beasts absorbed by the third soul ring are the batch of soul beasts you caught casually before, they are just over a thousand years old and the quality is average."

 "But his Phoenix Flame is still obviously stronger, and it is their nemesis."

"As for Fenyang Academy, although it has strong attack power, its lineup is single and lacks effective control and support. Our current lineup is quite comprehensive. As long as the tactics are appropriate, the chance of winning is not low."

 He looked at Flanders, with a trace of confusion on his face.

  「再说了,每个分区是四个名额啊,咱们前四就行了!」

  「你现在这副表情是做什么?」

  弗兰德扯动了一下嘴角。

 "Xiaogang, of course I am not upset about this matter."

 "Guess, who did I see at the opening game today?"

 Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly.

   “Who?”

   “Ning Rongrong!”

  "And Xiao Wu!"

  Flender said one word at a time.

 Hhearing these two names, Yu Xiaogang's expression did not change, and he even curled his lips.

  "So what if you saw it?"

  He picked up the pen and paper in front of him again, seemingly not interested in this topic.

  "Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit is certainly the number one assistant in the world, but she is arrogant and spoiled, and cannot bear the slightest hardship. How long did she stay with Shrek? She is now a great soul master."< br/>
    "As for Xiao Wu, she is indeed gifted, a little wild-tempered, and now she is a soul master."

   "Tang San and Xiao Wu had a good relationship before, but that girl Xiao Wu also ran away inexplicably. "

    "Tang San is no longer the same as before. If Xiao Wu wants to return to Tang San... Huh, it's not that easy!"

  "At least, I don't agree! And, I believe that Xiao San, who is now focused on training, will not agree!"

  His words were full of confidence in his disciples and disapproval of the two girls who left the team.

Flender was stunned and looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he was looking at a fool.



"It's the fourth ring now, Soul Sect!"

hip "Boom!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's hand shook, and even the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

 Hun Zong?

 How is this possible!

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang's astonished expression and did not stop.

   "And that Xiao Wu..."

   "She is not a Soul Lord, nor a Soul Sect..."

   "She is a Soul King!"
