In the room, Qin Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, his two palms overlapped, and in the palm of the palm above, there was a soul crystal obtained from the Ancient Abyss Secret Realm.

He was running the Ancient Soul Drawing Technique, absorbing the energy within the soul crystal.

Wisps of energy emanated from the soul crystal, sucked into a palm-sized space-time vortex on his chest.

Through this space-time vortex, the energy of the soul crystal appeared directly in the inner realm of the Vein.

The soul power absorbed from the soul crystal, he can't use it for the time being. These energies simply float freely and freely within the Vein. He could perceive it, but he couldn't use it. This is because his cultivation is still too far behind, and he will not be able to master the soul power until he gathers the soul and awakens the soul.

Although he couldn't control these soul powers for the time being, it still didn't affect him to absorb them in advance. Of course, other monks would certainly not be able to do this.

The reason why he was able to cultivate his soul power in advance was because he had the Ancient Soul Drawing Technique, and on the other hand, because he had the soul power seed given by Xi.

It lasted for about a stick of incense, and the soul crystal on his palm disappeared, and it had all turned into soul power and was absorbed by him.

Except for the increase in the soul power of the inner realm of the Mai Mansion, there were no other changes.

Qin Jue stood up and flicked the dust off his clothes and walked towards the outside of the room.

A moment later, he came to the Hua family's mansion alone.

After hesitating outside the door of a room for a while, Qin Jue took a deep breath and walked in.

"Brother Qin!" As soon as the little girl Hua Cuiwei saw his face full of surprise, she shouted sweetly and opened her arms and immediately ran over.

Seeing this, Qin Jue immediately squatted down and stretched out his hand to prepare to greet him.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, I didn't see the little girl coming. When I looked up, I saw Cuiwei's feet slamming in place, but her body couldn't run in a hurry.

It turned out that her back collar was firmly grasped by a hand, and the owner of that hand was a few years older than her.

At this time, Zhiliu was a year older than when Qin Jue first met, and he looked like he was already a young man. The heroic spirit between the eyebrows and eyes is beginning to appear, and it is foreseeable that it will be handsome and compelling in the future.

"What are you doing, stinky brother?" Hua Cuiwei couldn't break free even if she tried her strength to feed, and said back with some annoyance.

"There are no rules, okay, be safe!" said Hua Zhiliu with raised eyebrows.

"Hmph! Every time Brother Qin came, he would hug me before. Hua Cuiwei, who is still a child's mentality, argues unconvinced. Although he didn't admit defeat, after all, he was very strict with his family education, so he walked back obediently and sat back on the chair with a reluctant face.

"Qin Meng,,, Brother Qin, please take a seat. Hua Zhiliu stretched out his hand and said to Qin Jue. He originally wanted to call the Qin Alliance Master, but suddenly it felt strange to shout like this, and finally changed his words.

Zhiliu seemed to have changed his attitude towards himself, and Qin Jue didn't care. He mainly came to Hua Yinyu this time to negotiate something.

"Where's your sister?"

"My sister just went out, if Brother Qin can tell me anything, I will tell ,,,"

"No, I'll just wait for her here. Qin Jue waved his hand directly, interrupting Hua Zhiliu's serious words. He turned his head and said, "How is your cultivation going lately?" Do you have any questions that I need to answer?"

"My cultivation ,,, cultivation is going well, right?" It was probably Qin Jue who directly chose to stay here and wait, which surprised him a little, and Hua Zhiliu couldn't say anything about it.

"What does it mean to be quite smooth? Is there a problem with your own cultivation, is it still unclear in your heart?" Hearing this, Qin Jue said with some seriousness.

"Yes,,, I need to ask Brother Qin for advice. ”

"Tell me about it. Qin Jue said in a slow tone.

Then Hua Zhiliu said some problems that bothered him, and Qin Jue patiently explained. As Qin Jue solved his doubts one by one, Hua Zhiliu was still a child's heart after all, and his expression soon relaxed, and there were more and more problems.

Hua Cuiwei saw that the conversation between the two had lasted for a long time, so she obediently asked the maid to bring tea and personally brought it to Qin Du. Qin Jue took the tea, took a sip, put down the teacup, and picked up Cuiwei and put it on his lap.

Hua Zhiliu's expression froze slightly, and she didn't say anything. It just so happened that all my questions were answered, and the living room was quiet for a while.

After a while, Hua Zhiliu finally raised her head and asked as little as she could, "I heard that Brother Qin is engaged to a fairy-like sister?"

"Yes, you two little ones, one more person will come to hurt you in the future. Qin Jue replied with a smile. After speaking, he lowered his head and asked the little girl sitting on his lap, "Is Cuiwei happy?"

"That day, I saw my sister crying. Except for the death of her parents, this is the first time I have seen her cry. I know how strong she is, and therefore I know how much she hurts!"

Before the little girl on her leg could nod, the voice of the flower willow sounded again.

Qin Jue's expression froze suddenly, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "Don't worry about the affairs of the adults. ”

The room was silent again, only Hua Cui's slightly immature eyes looked left and right, not knowing what was happening. When she was young, she probably couldn't understand what her sister's crying had to do with Brother Qin's engagement.

"Is my sister not good enough?" Hua Zhiliu couldn't figure out why Brother Qin did this.

"No,,, you don't understand things between adults, and you'll understand when you grow up. Qin definitely didn't want Hua Zhiliu to have a misunderstanding in his heart about this matter.

"Then why are you engaged to someone else, but not to my sister? Aren't there many men in this world who have more than one wife?" asked Hua Zhiliu stubbornly.

Explaining this kind of problem to a small child made Qin Jue feel a little headache. However, he still said patiently: "Whether it is your sister or Miss Ye, they are all very good women. It is enough for me to get one person's wishes, how can I be half-hearted and have too many extravagant hopes. And love needs to be reciprocal with each other and cannot be shared with others. Be fair, when the world gives you a choice, you can't have both. You know, you have to give, you know?"

Hua Zhiliu nodded as if she didn't understand, but her expression still looked a little depressed.

Seeing that the little guy no longer asked this question, Qin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief. Probably because I also feel guilty about Hua Yinyu in my heart. After all, he doesn't feel the other party's feelings for him.

Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door. Qin Jue raised his eyes and looked towards the courtyard, and saw that Hua Yinyu was still following Zhao Changhe when he came back.

After Hua Yinyu entered the small courtyard, he turned around and said, "Thank you for sending me, Yinyu is a little tired today, Zhao Gongzi, please go back." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Changhe bowed and left.

Hua Yinyu watched Zhao Changhe leave, turned around and walked into the living room. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he raised his eyes and saw that Qin Jue was also there. His expression was slightly stunned, and somehow, he opened his mouth to explain: "Zhao Gongzi asked me to talk about some ,,," Halfway through the words, he seemed to suddenly wake up, why should he explain this. So his tone changed, and he said, "Is there anything wrong with you coming here?"

"Nothing matters. Qin Jue replied casually.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yinyu's eyebrows furrowed, "Then what are you doing here?" I'm busy every day, not as idle as you. ”

"Uh!" Qin Jue was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. After a moment of silence, he wanted to get up and leave. However, the little child was already sensible, and seeing the awkward atmosphere, he hurriedly spoke: "Brother Qin came to inquire about my cultivation, and he also solved a lot of problems encountered in my cultivation. ”

Hua Yinyu glared at her, Hua Zhiliu quickly shut up, stretched out her hand to pull her sister, and the two ran out.

"If it's okay,,, I'm really tired today. ”

Qin Jue looked at the other party, and saw that the other party was indeed tired, so he told the other party about the recent shortage of metal mines in the manufacturing department of the business alliance, hoping that the Hua family would increase the mining of metal mines and give priority to the business alliance.

Although the Manzhou side is rich in resources, the current situation has just begun, relying only on the Manwu tribe, the mining capacity is limited, and the development of the Manwu tribe also needs to consume a lot of resources. Therefore, at present, most of the raw materials of the manufacturing department of Shangmeng still rely on the resource extraction points of the Hua family.

Due to the imminent need to support the war equipment of the Manwu tribes, the recent increase in metal consumption of the manufacturing department has led to a shortage of metal reserves.

After listening to Qin Jie's words, Hua Yinyu looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. "What do you want to do when you put such a large amount of war materials into the Barbarian Prefecture?" After speaking, without waiting for Qin to answer, he said to himself: "Could it be that you want to launch a large-scale war in the Barbarian Prefecture and eliminate the other forces in the Barbarian Prefecture?"

The interaction between the Shang Alliance and the Barbarian tribe has always been in secrecy. Therefore, even Hua Yinyu didn't know much about the situation in Manzhou.

Qin Jue briefly explained to her the situation faced by the Barbarian Wu tribe, and Hua Yinyu suddenly understood. After learning about these situations, she was also surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Qin Jue to arrange such a big situation.

"Our Hua family can fully support your business alliance, and all materials will be provided to you first. But ,,," Hua Yinyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "However, after you take control of Manzhou, you will leave a place for our Hua family over there." The place doesn't have to be too big, as long as it can accommodate our family. It can be regarded as leaving a last place for our flower family. ”

Regarding Hua Yinyu's request, Qin Jue agreed directly without thinking about it.

The Shang Alliance and the Hua family have long been allies, even if Hua Yinyu doesn't bring it up. In the future, if the Hua family is in trouble, it is impossible for him to sit idly by. Not only the Hua family, but also all the people who have a relationship with him, such as the Tian Yuan Sect. If one day everyone is desperate, the Barbarian State will ensure that these people can continue to survive.

Seeing that Qin Jue agreed so happily, Hua Yinyu figured it out. With Qin Jie's character, the result is the same whether he mentions this request or not. Although I was a little unwilling in my heart, I couldn't think of any way. After all, if you want to control the entire barbarian state, such a plan is what the other party dares to think. If other forces are concerned, even if there is a way to lead to the barbarian state, they may not be able to do it.

A major war is not something that can be won with just a few powerful monks. That's a lot of manpower and material resources.

That is, the business alliance has strong financial resources, plus it has all kinds of advanced war equipment. Otherwise, if the barbarian state is not taken, he will be dragged down by the war first.
