"Wang Hao, are you awake?" Ouyang Xue's voice rang out, with a little anxiety in surprise, "There is just new news released, but it's not good news." ”

"What happened?" Wang Hao asked, and Chu Binglan also cast an inquiring glance at Ouyang Xue. As the descendant of the Ouyang family, she has taken courses in government affairs since she was a child, and after being ordered to be in danger, she quickly handled various affairs in an orderly manner.

Just like the information provided by Lu Lingfeng, the Shadow Council has just announced an important news to the world, they have released a new version of the OPB system, and at the same time announced a statistical list called the Soul Leaderboard, and every psionic who participates in the OPB system battle can enter the Soul Punishment List with victory points. The Shadow Council will count the rankings on the last day of each month, and distribute a certain number of soul crystals based on the rankings.

The news spread around the globe at explosive speed, attracting the collective attention of the global media in just a few hours. Soul crystals are necessary for the powerhouses of the Heavenly Spirit Realm to step into the Soul Realm, and before Elalia appeared, all the supply of soul crystals came from the Shadow Council. Due to the scarcity of quantity and strict control, soul crystals have become a luxury only for the inner world, and the wealthy families in the world have tried their best, but it is difficult to obtain enough soul crystals for a person to break through to the soul realm.

Now that all has changed, people can obtain soul crystals through their own efforts, which means that even civilians have the opportunity to break through to the soul realm, which will greatly change the situation in the world and even shake the dominance of the Fifth Reign Family. However, these possibilities have nothing to do with Wang Hao for the time being, and the most important fact for him is that he has fewer trading chips in his hands. The Shadow Council released the supply of soul crystals, which means that the scarcity of soul crystals has been broken, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the trading value of soul crystals, and the Fifth Family of the Ruling World will undoubtedly take advantage of this to reduce the price when trading with Wang Hao.

"It's ruthless." Chu Binglan undoubtedly thought of this layer as well, "The timing of this announcement is so clever that it seems to be specifically aimed at you. ”

"Not necessarily against me." Wang Hao shook his head, he had some conjectures in his heart, but he couldn't verify it yet, "Maybe your idea is exactly what the Shadow Council wants to do." ”

Chu Binglan was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes deepened, combined with some rumors she had heard, Chu Binglan thought of some extremely terrifying possibility.

"That's not something we need to care about for a while." Wang Hao focused his thoughts on the matter to be solved in front of him, "Is the alliance invitation you said in the past still valid?" Today, the trading value of the Soul Crystal Mine has dropped dramatically. ”

"Of course!" Chu Binglan nodded without hesitation, "I said it will be valid forever, and it ......"

Chu Binglan's eyes drifted to Li Lin, who was lying quietly on the stone slab, and then looked at Su Yue, who was standing beside him in a daze: "And you saved my life, the reason why I can stand here alive and talk to you depends on the bloody battle of you and your companions." I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life, the Chu family has always been a family that knows how to repay kindness. No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stand firmly behind you and advance and retreat with you. ”

Wang Hao observed the spiritual energy fluctuations in Chu Binglan's body with an eye of insight, and found that she said this with extraordinary determination and indomitable will. Every word, even every punctuation mark, is sincere, and there is not even half a false word. This is a truly trustworthy ally, especially after Su Yue and Li Lin paid the price of almost their lives, Chu Binglan will not turn his back on him no matter what.

"Okay, then the Covenant is established." Wang Hao took out a list of materials from his arms and handed it to Chu Binglan, "This is the material I need, I will arrange for Ouyang Xue to lead the team to act with your people." Depending on their contributions, you can agree on your own percentage of the material. Also, if the Chu family has a surplus of some of these materials, I am willing to exchange a certain amount of soul crystals for exchange. ”

Chu Binglan's eyes lit up, and he was immediately attracted by Wang Hao's suggestion. She has already seen Ouyang Xue's ability, and she doesn't have too much anxiety about the people she leads, anyway, it is divided according to the proportion of contributions, and the Chu family can't suffer. What attracted her the most was Wang Hao's second condition, the role of the soul crystal is actually far more than just breaking through the soul realm, its powerful spiritual energy conduction and the role of stabilizing the soul can also be applied to other products, such as soul armor, which can greatly improve the relevant performance of the product. Exchanging the Chu family's surplus materials for soul crystals was undoubtedly a pretty cost-effective deal for her, and there was nothing to hesitate about at all.

"No problem." Chu Binglan Station immediately agreed to Wang Hao's transaction request.

"Ouyang Xue, you can hand over the rest to her, I have other things to do."

"Okay, don't worry." Ouyang Xue nodded.

……

Wang Hao came to a place where no one was alone, and then dialed the spiritual signal number in his hand—it was the spiritual signal left by Lin Kun.

Lin Kun's skills have improved by leaps and bounds since he was cured of the spiritual energy tumor by Wang Hao, and he soon reached the edge of breaking through the soul realm. At the urging of the Lin family, he took Lin Yuning back to the inner world, and soon after broke through the soul realm in one fell swoop. The substantial improvement of spiritual energy allowed him to make a new breakthrough in the rune side, and finally crossed the last threshold of being a rune master and successfully entered the realm of a god-level rune master.

The number of god-level rune masters is extremely rare, even in the Lin family, which has established itself at the top of the world with rune technology, it is a rare species, and every god-level rune master has the qualifications to enter the Lin Patriarch's Council. Lin Kun also entered the Lin Patriarch's Council after being promoted to a god-level rune master according to tradition, and played a very important role in the Lin family's recognition of Wang Hao's ruling power over Ellaria.

Lin Kun thanked Wang Hao for his kindness to him, left this number, and told Wang Hao to call him when he encountered unsolvable suffering, and he would definitely do his best to help.

Drop, drop, the spiritual message was picked up by Lin Kun after only two rings, thinking that Lin Kun must have set a very high priority for Wang Hao's communication.

"Old Master Lin, does the Lin family intend to trade soul crystal veins with Elalia?" Wang Hao gets straight to the point, he has always disliked beating around the bush.

"Of course, we need a lot of soul crystal mines, and that thing can not only be used to break through the soul realm, it has applications in many rune technologies!" Lin Kun's voice was full of surprise, "The Council of Elders was planning to ask me to contact you these days to talk about the transaction of the Soul Crystal Stone Mine, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call. ”
