This simple conversation, however, made Xie Xie and others show a doubtful expression. Xie Xie asked curiously, "Ye Hui, what kind of riddle were you and Teacher Xu talking about? How come we couldn't understand a word?"

Ye Xinglan also followed up with a question, "Yeah, yeah, and what's this about relying on yourself? Could it be that Teacher Xu has been giving Ye Hui special treatment again?"

Xu Xiaoyan muttered, "No wonder Ye Hui's improvement has been so rapid. It turns out, in addition to her own efforts, there's also Teacher Xu's favoritism!"

Tang Wulin also joked, "Exactly, exactly, Teacher Xu, you can't just show favoritism to Ye Hui, we're all your students as well!"

Gu Yue said indifferently, "Come on, even though I have no idea what the secret is, Teacher Xu has never shown favoritism!"

Wu Siduo also affirmed, "I agree with that point!"

Back then, she and Ye Hui sought guidance from Xu Sheng together, and the latter did not show any favoritism at all; it was more about them grasping the concepts on their own!

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "You little fellows, how about this? You don't have any classes today, so I'll take you to the Spirit Ascension Platform, a place we haven't visited in a long time!"

Because of an incident at Spirit Pagoda a while ago, it faced some resistance from many Soul Masters,

until it recently resumed operations...

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Thank you, Teacher Xu, I love you!"

Xie Xie gasped, "Hiss... Xu Xiaoyan, your change of attitude is too sudden, isn't it? You were just saying Teacher Xu was showing favoritism!"

Xu Xiaoyan glared at her coldly, "Mind your own business. If you're so capable, don't go then!"

Xie Xie raised her eyebrows, "A free opportunity is too good to miss! Besides, this is the first time this semester that Teacher Xu is leading us to use the Spirit Ascension Platform in the Spirit Pagoda! We should show some respect!"

Ye Xinglan clenched her fists excitedly, "Maybe with the help of the Spirit Ascension Platform this time, I can directly break through to Soul King!"

Tang Wulin chuckled, "That's what I'm saying, with Teacher Xu's fair and just character, how could she possibly show favoritism towards someone!"

Wu Siduo pondered, "Spirit Ascension Platform? Although I've been there a few times before, the results weren't very ideal."

The poor team spirit of the students she teamed up with at that time resulted in the group being quickly eliminated!

Gu Yue, with her beautiful eyes, turned to Yuanen Yehui and asked, "Ye Hui, why don't you come with us too? I remember you seem to have reached a bottleneck!"

Yuanen Yehui glanced at Xu Sheng, then shook her head in denial, "No need, I have some things to do later!"

Gu Yue did not continue to inquire, a glint of intelligence flickering in her eyes...

She had been unsure at first, but Yuanen Yehui's reaction had given her a rough guess as to what the matter discussed between Yuanen Yehui and Xu Sheng was...

Eventually, it was Xu Sheng who broke up their discussion, "Then get ready, let's set off immediately!"

...

Spirit Pagoda!

In the grand hall, there sat thirty-six Council Members in a circle...

And at the very front, of course, were the Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu and Vice Tower Master Qian Gu Qingfeng!

The former spoke with a serious tone, "The reason we've gathered here today is mainly to discuss how the Spirit Pagoda should develop moving forward!"

"If any of the Council Members have good suggestions, feel free to put them forward now..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a Council Member stated, "Pagoda Master, in my opinion, after our Spirit Pagoda collaborated with the major forces to encircle and suppress the Holy Spirit Cult, we've already cleared our name concerning the Holy Spirit Cult! Now we just need to proceed with normal development!"

In his view, the Spirit Pagoda held a pivotal and effortless position in the entire Continent, and it was the only entity that possessed the technology of Artificial Spirit Souls!

Take the Holy Spirit Cult, for instance, they merely attempted to control the Spirit Pagoda rather than launching a direct attack because they were well aware that any accident involving the Spirit Pagoda would be devastating to all Soul Masters, including the evil Soul Masters!

Another Council Member next to him shook his head and said, "No, the matter is not so simple. Ever since Qian Gu... the former Pagoda Master... fell under the guile of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, he has been covertly supplying them with a large quantity of Artificial Spirit Souls, which has led to a severe scarcity of Artificial Spirit Souls within our Spirit Pagoda!"

"Even now, as for the Artificial Spirit Souls currently on sale, just a hundred-year Spirit Soul costs tens of thousands of federation coins! I don't think many Soul Masters can afford that!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of the other Council Members darkened...

"Indeed... if the prices of Artificial Spirit Souls soar dramatically, it will dissuade Soul Masters from buying them, and over time, it would affect the income of the Spirit Pagoda."

"So you're saying... our Spirit Pagoda's top priority is to increase the production of Artificial Spirit Souls and then bring the prices back to normal?"

"Even though we have mastered the technology of Artificial Spirit Souls, it's difficult to produce them in large quantities in a short time."

Leng Yaozhu propped her chin and stated, "The Council Members all make valid points. Artificial Spirit Souls are the foundation upon which our Spirit Pagoda stands; we can't afford any mistakes!"

"How about this: we temporarily halt the external sale of Artificial Spirit Souls and focus all our efforts on production!"

"Of course, as compensation, we can consider lowering the prices of facilities like the Spirit Ascension Platform, to minimize the negative sentiment among Soul Masters. Vice Tower Master, what do you think?"

This was the best solution she could think of!

Vice Tower Master Qian Gu Qingfeng pursed his lips and said, "The Tower Master's plan is good, but it overlooks a very important point, which is..."

After he finished explaining, all the Council Members seemed to have an epiphany...

Leng Yaozhu also showed a complex expression and said, "I see, the Vice Tower Master's idea is truly ingenious!"

Qian Gu Qingfeng was truly deserving of being a man who had served as the Pagoda Master for many years; his insights into these matters were much deeper than her own!

Then, she addressed the other Council Members in the great hall, "Does anyone have anything else to add? If not, then let's adopt the Vice Tower Master's proposal."

The Council Members remained silent, clearly acquiescing...

.......

Within the Holy Spirit Cult...

A Hyper Douluo-level evil Soul Master, who was responsible for scouting Shrek Academy, respectfully reported to the Ghost Emperor seated above, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, there seems to be no unusual activity at Shrek Academy, and they even started enrolling more students recently!"

Hearing this, Leng Yulai spoke in a cold voice, "Shrek Academy is certain that we, the Holy Spirit Cult, pose no threat to them anymore!"

Nanali nodded and said, "Yes, they must have learned through their spies that we have moved to Xingluo Land."

The Dark Blood Devil licked his scarlet lips and snorted, "Hmph! Once our Holy Spirit Cult gains strength, we'll annihilate them all in one fell swoop!"

Last time, the Sect Master of the Body Sect was lucky to have survived, but next time, I will surely take his life!
