"How could it be her? No matter how you say it, her normal cultivation speed is much faster than yours, so she won't have crossed that hurdle by now. ”

"Who's that? Do I know? ”

"Probably...... I guess I know each other. "Jing Hongchen's confidence is not authentic.

Looking at Jing Hongchen's rather hesitant look, Huo Yuhao immediately suspected that eighty percent of the people who could be actively promoted by him were hot potatoes, and most of the other party and himself were limited to a relationship that was about equal to "one side".

After quickly filtering through his mind the suitable person who was now in Mingdu, Huo Yuhao's face changed slightly.

Not to ...... It's Princess Tang who has been stranded in Mingdu so far, right?

Anyway, she is also the young sect master of Haotian Sect, and she has no shortage of soul beasts and treasures, and Haotian Sect and Mingdetang are obviously in a state of mutual distrust, so they can only be regarded as half-finished products before the soul, and it is impossible to reveal or even invite her to her, right?

That's ridiculous too!

Although Jing Hongchen's subsequent answer made Huo Yuhao breathe a sigh of relief, it ...... It still smells of absurdity.

"Xu Tianzhen, although I haven't seen her for a while, I shouldn't have forgotten her, right?"

How can this really be a princess again!

I feel that this is not as reliable as Princess Tang, at least the character of the companion before the fusion of Da Wutong is not bad.

Huo Yuhao crossed his waist, let out a long sigh, looked directly into Jing Hongchen's eyes and asked, "No, you...... Earnest? ”

"Hey, what am I lying to you for?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, stretched out his hand and shook it around the researchers who were busy with their own things in the distance, and said in a deep voice:

"They're all researchers who have signed a confidentiality agreement and can be absolutely trusted, right? You reviewed it yourself, and they shouldn't have had a chance to leak it during this time. ”

"Yes, that's right."

"And those volunteers who have never let them out since they were singled out, right? I didn't reveal my purpose to them when I picked someone, did I? ”

"That's right."

"Then, tell me, hall master, old man!" Huo Yuhao hammered his fist on the palm of his hand, and said angrily:

"How did she, the royal family, know that we were tinkering with the secret experiment of the souls!"

Huo Yuhao didn't answer whether it was okay or not, but reacted and asked why the soul who had been keeping it secret leaked the news, which made Jing Hongchen's face a little more embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, Yuhao, don't make a fuss, as long as there are enough people involved, there will be no projects that will be kept secret forever." Jing Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and said comfortingly.

Huo Yuhao crossed his waist, shook his head and continued to ask: "That shouldn't be now, why should I wait for my results to be verified and actively disclosed before others can know!" Can you ask me today that I must have been prepared in advance, and the news leaked to the royal family even earlier, what went wrong? ”

The inquiring look in Huo Yuhao's eyes obviously revealed the meaning of "If you don't give me a clear answer, I will continue to drag it out with you".

With a weak heart, Jing Hongchen confirmed that the other researchers had their own work at hand far away at this time, and then whispered:

"Actually, there was something wrong with it from the beginning."

"In the beginning? How early to what extent? But don't I reveal my thoughts to you and Kong Lao that day, and then I will be sold. ”

"Not then, not so much." Jing Hongchen waved his hand: "This has to be traced back to your action of going to the prison to bring people to participate in the experiment. ”

"What? Is there a ghost in the prison? ”

"The word inner ghost is a bit too much...... The prison that can hold so many soul masters who are not shallow in cultivation is no more than a handful in the entire Ming Capital, and those prisoners are strictly speaking the common property of countless institutions and organizations in the Ming Capital, Yu Hao, you don't think that Mingdetang can cover the sky with one hand and monopolize such an important prison, right? ”

Huo Yuhao stared at Jing Hongchen and said word by word: "You, that's what you told me at the beginning. ”

Jing Hongchen paused for a moment, and then said a little sneeringly: "At the beginning, the situation was indeed like this, except for Mingdetang, there were generally no other institutions that often used soul masters in the past, although the system did not stipulate this, but in fact, Mingdetang has always treated that prison as its own place." ”

"So what happened next?"

"The change is Yu Hao, you have too many people from prison in one go!"

Huo Yuhao pointed at himself, his face full of surprise: "Do you want to blame me for the cooperation?" ”

Jing Hongchen couldn't help laughing: "Although there is a reason why I used to treat it as the site of Mingdetang and did not consider it, but in the final analysis, you have made too many requests. ”

"If you calculate carefully, at least in the past few hundred or thousands of years, there has never been a precedent for extracting so many soul masters at one time for research!"

Huo Yuhao bit his lip and "hummed" and said, "So, what is the later story?" ”

"Later, the management of the prison was regularly submitted to His Majesty for future investigation according to the regulations, who would have thought that his old man would really open his eyes this time, it is estimated that it is the first time in his life, and the result is that you ran into it."

Huo Yuhao: ......

When will the nosy old thing burst into gold coins!

Jing Hongchen spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty came to send someone to verify the use of the suspect, and your experiment is not intended to be used for treason, so it won't be unpopular, right?" ”

"There is nothing in the eight characters, and it is only a variable to reveal it before the dust settles, if it fails, I see that the hall master, you are afraid that you will die of embarrassment."

"If only I hadn't had a word, I'd just say that the experiment could have been fooled before it began. When Your Majesty sent someone to investigate, you were in retreat, and the first batch of souls had already been fused with you! ”

Huo Yuhao: "Do you want to blame me for the success of the experiment?" ”

"How so...... You can rest assured, His Majesty has been on the throne for so many years, and now except for us, only he and the people sent to check on him should know. It's just that he almost didn't come up in one breath after hearing the report, and let me enter the palace overnight, which made me think I was going to prepare for the national funeral. ”

Huo Yuhao sighed heavily: "So, Your Majesty plans to let him kiss his daughter...... No, Her Royal Highness the princess herself as this experiment? ”

"That's pretty much it...... The innocent princess is also in time to add the five rings. ”

"Hall Master, I have something unpleasant." Huo Yuhao pressed down the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "With the current level of secrecy of the Mingde Hall under your command, maybe you have to find the reason for the sneak attack of the Ontology Sect in the first place. ”

"I know, Yuhao, don't worry, there will be no next time."

"Something of the level of soul, if there is a next time, it is estimated that I will be buried in the ground for I don't know how many years." Huo Yuhao had an expression on his face that he didn't want to accept the apology, and asked again:

"And you just said yes? You...... It's okay, that's the princess, not the condemned prisoners! ”

Huo Yuhao suppressed his voice and said, his eyes clearly revealing the meaning of "Xiaojing, you have done too little consideration in this matter".

In the original book, after Huo Hang accidentally attacked the chest king Qiu'er and was beaten back, he immediately refined Brother Tianmeng into his second soul - that was when Electrolux was already gone.

And now, after Electrolux has been personally working on the continuous improvement for a long time, and the experiments have been progressing very smoothly, why hasn't Huo Yuhao given himself a whole set? Don't you like it?

That's of course because Huo Yuhao doesn't know how much difference there is from the original soul system in his heart!

He and the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North only had one life, and the soul had only conducted double-digit experiments until now, and basically no repetitive experiments had been conducted, and the reliability had not been fully verified, so how could he use it on himself casually?

If you can't find a patient volunteer, how many pharmacists will try the drug on their own? Per capita Shennong and Li Shizhen?

Why don't you let others taste this beauty first, make sure that there are no side effects and improve it, and then give yourself a step to do it.

And although Xu Tianzhen has a bit of a gap with the status of the eldest princess with real power for a long time, she is also the emperor's favorite daughter, how can she use it for experiments casually? It's really a bit of an accident, do you want Huo Yuhao to top the thunder?

"Yu Hao, don't worry, with your identity, I will definitely be there to supervise Kong Lao and the masters of the royal family, even if there is a little problem, you can save it in time......"

"But don't, hall master, do you know the principle by which souls link humans and soul beasts into symbiotes and merge with their origins? I don't know, but if there is an abnormality in the middle of the way, you may be able to interfere indiscriminately, and you may be fine. ”

"Hey, isn't this Yuhao you, when you summarize the relevant processes and principles, everyone will understand after reading it." Jing Hongchen rubbed his hands and smiled.

"Coincidentally, I don't know, it's all summarized from Shrek's classics and the news revealed by Ditian, and I'm also surprised that there have been no accidents until now." Huo Yuhao did not hesitate to activate the Broom Self-Cherishing Skill, causing Jing Hongchen's smile to stagnate on his face.

Huo Yuhao knew at most some of the principles and spells...... Improvement? It's too high to think of what he's capable of now.

Perhaps in the future, he will "study" some of the principles of the soul and announce it to the world, but that will only be until he has a solid position and gets what he wants to obtain with the soul, he has not advocated his own conduct, nor does he accept moral baggage and kidnapping.

With a few embarrassed laughs, Jing Hongchen sorted out his rhetoric, and then changed his words and persuaded:

"Yu Hao, in fact, it has reached this time, the general trend has been decided, I haven't seen a few experiments that are smoother than yours, even if there is a small problem, it must be considered a success overall."

"You're the pioneer and the only one who has mastered some of the mysteries, and no one will be able to pick your peaches and squeeze you away when they spread it out later—they can't even understand your spells, and if something goes wrong on a large scale after you die, who can handle it? Who would dare not listen to you? ”

Huo Yuhao chuckled with a strange expression: "Your statement makes me feel like I'm taking the blame." ”

"Well, you can't say that, whether you are guilty or guilty, sin is bowing; Or if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight...... Those who stand tall when the sky falls will inevitably be smashed first, and you know it in your own heart. ”

"You don't have to be too sensitive, gradually expanding the scope to promote the pilot and even announcing its existence is just a matter of the past few months, do you have to continue to keep it secret when the time comes? No need! If such an important thing wants to be promoted to the whole country and even the whole continent, can you have less to deal with the royal family? Can you live without their support? ”

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's mood seemed to calm down, Jing Hongchen changed to a more gossipy tone:

"Moreover, everyone has the heart of a son, Your Majesty is also thinking about the princess, she must have no play for the throne, and the royal emotions are really difficult to say, this is also to arrange a way back for her...... It's also good for you. ”

"Back?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" ”

Jing Hongchen rubbed his fingers: "First of all, in the future, Princess Innocent will become the first person to bravely dedicate herself to the creation of the soul, and in the future, with the promotion of your soul, she will continue to expand her popularity, and add a little more insurance to her safety and status." ”

"When did she become the first? That's not Zhang Coco...... Ah, Your Majesty, are they going to change their living notes, actual records, and history books again? ”

"What is the meaning of change, the history books were originally written by us, and we filled in this from the beginning."

"Well, it doesn't matter; There's a first, there's a second, right, and then what? ”

"Then, now I get acquainted with you first, and when you grow up in the future, there is a huge organization that relies on the soul as a backing, and no one dares to provoke her easily."

Huo Yuhao nodded and motioned for Jing Hongchen to continue.

"And to Yu Hao, you ...... Your Majesty summoned me to the palace to play a secret game when he carefully learned about the situation since you went to Shrek, and I am very interested, maybe I will summon you when the innocent princess's experiment is successful. You don't need that, but it's not a bad thing. ”

"You also know that your majesty is now more focused on your soul that has made your eyebrows and will be able to see the sun in no time than your future potential."

"He is not completely old and confused after all, and after reading the plan you gave me at the beginning, he gave me a bottom...... If everything goes well in the follow-up small-scale promotion experiment of the soul, he agrees to build a soul-based organization with you as the core, after all, you are an irreplaceable talent, and no one will hesitate to invest in you at this time. ”

Jing Hongchen stretched out a finger: "Your Majesty has already promised, in the early stage, there will be this amount of starting capital for you to use to build a structure and organize manpower." ”

Yes? Is the old thing really going to burst gold coins?

Huo Yuhao first mentioned a decimal number: "Ten million gold soul coins? ”

"One hundred million."

"It doesn't seem like a lot? You bought embryos for Xiao Hongchen at the beginning, and it was more than that. ”

"Indeed, the Mingde Hall and the Offering Hall are each ready to bring you more than this amount of flowers first. But after all, that's the royal family, taking some of their money can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble, and by the way, lest there be local fools who don't know how to lift, you can't always let Mingde Hall and Fengtang help you with everything, that's not called starting a business and opening a branch. ”

"I know I understand ......"

Startups accept strategic financing, but Huo Yuhao doesn't value personal wealth very much; For example, when it comes to Jing Hongchen's status, how much wealth can be controlled is a reference index for judging the status of power.

Huo Yuhao added uneasily: "But Xu Tianzhen's words, the five rings must be high-level 10,000-year soul beasts, I only tried the fusion of 10,000-year soul beasts for the first time today, and my heart is not very bottom-up, you have to find a way to get a few more for me to practice." ”

"This is easy to say, I went to ask Your Majesty for it, all to add some safety to the innocent princess, of course he should bleed."

"And ...... The soul is not an auspicious gift to the royal family. I understand that the royal family is involved, and it must be unavoidable. But I'm not a full-time servant of the royal family, I don't work for them, and in the end, I can't interfere too much with the actual control, at least not more than Mingdetang, which has always contributed money and support. ”

Huo Yuhao naturally can't accept that an organization that was born and operated completely counting on himself will be easily usurped in the end, and many things need a platform to be done; The royal family didn't have an orange to give birth to Xu Yunhan for him, so he couldn't think about so many future affairs for them.

"Understand that as long as assets and talents end up in the empire, in fact, the royal family really doesn't care so much about ownership. As long as this institution is ...... in the future Elder or something, just have an important seat in the royal family, and now it seems that His Majesty wants to push out the innocent princess first. ”

This is not just for the royal family...... For example, Jing Hongchen supports Huo Yuhao's "independent entrepreneurship" so much, of course, because he himself and Mingdetang have a fundamentally inseparable connection, and if there is a blood relationship in the future, this connection will be more stable.

Even from the perspective of the Hongchen family, continuing to expand the Mingde Hall, which has already occupied the dominant power, may not be as good as supporting Huo Yuhao to set up another mountain and divide more eggs into another basket, so as not to be served in one pot in the future.

It is no longer necessary to pursue absolute control over Mingdetang, Jing Hongchen will always die, but it is better to take advantage of the institutions that are very likely to have no less status than Mingdetang in the future.

"The royal family is nominally wealthy, but if your majesty really thinks that the property of the courtiers is really taken by them, then it will be almost finished." Jing Hongchen said with a smile.

"That'...... What about Kong Lao? If he is an old man who supports the royal family, he will have to be respected, at least it will be difficult to stand back. Huo Yuhao finally asked a question.

"Hey, don't forget what Kong Lao's surname is."

"But his old man seems to care more about the royal family than the Kong family."

"After all, it is a level that can be compared, as long as there is a person with the blood of the Xu family sitting on the throne, Kong Lao will not interfere easily. And as long as what you do is beneficial to the country, even if the royal family suffers a small loss, he won't say anything, not to mention that you didn't say that you would kick the royal family away. ”

…………

Just as Huo Yuhao was waiting for a new batch of 10,000-year-old soul beasts to arrive, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy received the latest notification from the academy.

In the restaurant outside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Wang Dong'er, who had completely removed his disguise after resigned himself to his fate, shook the goblet with wine in his hand, and looked sideways at the notice that Xiao Xiao pushed between the two of them.

Although Shrek Academy has been open for a long time, Wang Dong'er still shows no signs of leaving, and still gathers with her classmates every week, and everyone doesn't ask too much.

"The college now provides heavy benefits for outstanding volunteer students...... Xiao Xiao whispered the above notice.

"The academy has a new batch of soul beasts that have been cultivated for a hundred to ten thousand years, and the application channel is open to outstanding students of all grades as free benefits."

"Description: This kind of soul beast is an experimental product, and they have undergone special treatment before fusing with the students, and there is a certain chance of benign mutation, please rest assured."

"Open for application: Outstanding students whose current soul power level is full ten or about to be full ten, and have not yet attached a soul ring."

"Achievement requirements: top 10 grades in each grade, or other significant contributors."

"Note: Due to the benign mutation of the soul beast, students need to cooperate in the investigation of changes in various physical indicators, and it may take up to two months to participate in a centralized confidential follow-up survey, please make time arrangements in advance if you are willing."

Ye Xiaosheng, who was born in the soul guide department and had witnessed that He Caitou was taken away in front of his eyes, took a cool breath: "Free soul ring? It's atmospheric enough, just the soul beast ecology of the Sun and Moon Empire, they have made a bloody investment, right? ”

Zhang Lexuan, who has always appeared at a party where Bei Bei appears these days, has a solemn face: "Can you guide the benign mutation of soul beasts?" Can it even be applied to the soul master? If it weren't for their passable credibility, I thought someone was joking. ”

Wang Dong'er puffed out her little face, looking at the words "Free Soul Ring" on it, her face was full of unhappy.

Other people's families provide soul rings in batches here, why haven't the soul beasts and ransom that I have been looking forward to for a long time have not been delivered!

Although the prosperity of Mingdu is not inferior to Shrek, this is not his home after all.

And Miss Meng, who originally came to inquire about her situation every once in a while, even let her go free these days!
