They chatted for a while. Considering that Han Li and Dugu Bo had also just emerged from the Slaughter City, Broad Hill and Azure Luan urged them to rest.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, the group got up early, not because they had slept well, but because they were still a little unaccustomed.
Having stayed in the Slaughter City for a long time, they reacted immediately to the slightest disturbance, even startling Broad Hill and Azure Luan , who were frequently awakened as well.
There was no helping it. As soon as these guys opened their eyes, they immediately activated their Martial Souls, their killing intent undisguised.
"I feel like I'm going to become a neurotic if I stay with you for a few more days."
Broad Hill looked at the five of them helplessly, not holding back his complaints.
"It won't be like this in a few days."
Han Li replied a little sheepishly, as he had been the most restless last night.
"There's a small town nearby, let's go there for a few days. It's a good opportunity, as the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce need your decisions as well."
Azure Luan smiled and proactively suggested.
"Alright, by the way, Martial Uncle, what's going on with the Chamber of Commerce?"
Han Li immediately agreed and turned his head to ask.
"What else could it be? We've been at odds with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School recently. Isn't this what you foresaw from the beginning?"
Broad Hill shook his head, not particularly concerned about such matters.
"Oh, then it seems that the Seven Profound Sect is indeed developing well, even better than I expected."
Han Li revealed a look of realization, a smile appearing on his face.
"Yes, it's indeed very good, especially in the past year."
Azure Luan , who had the most contact with the Chamber of Commerce, said with a smile, "The news that you subsidized the Soul Master Legion with your own money before entering the Slaughter City, Xiao Li, has spread widely within the Spirit Hall."
"After it spread, especially among the lower-level Soul Master groups, they decisively shifted their consumption to our Chamber of Commerce, and their actions even drove a portion of the nobles."
"Now, the Seven Profound Sect Chamber of Commerce can be said to be thriving, and even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's business in the Heaven Dou Empire has suffered some squeeze."
"Is that so? Haha, that's really surprising."
Hearing Martial Uncle's explanation, Han Li was stunned, not expecting that his actions at the time would bring him such benefits.
"More than that, your popularity within the Spirit Hall is very high now. How about it? Do you have any plans to become the Pope? I can go ask Little Snow and your Grand Uncle-Master for you. If it's you, they shouldn't object."
Broad Hill thought of the voices within the Spirit Hall and the situation when he went to see Qian Renxue, and joked.
"Don't joke around, the, oh, Pope, whoever wants to be it can be it."
Han Li almost blurted out his true thoughts.
Azure Luan also shook her head helplessly, not commenting on the master and disciple's actions of joking about the position of Pope.
After speaking, Han Li pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "The details of the Seven Profound Sect Chamber of Commerce shouldn't be hidden from Ning Fengzhi, right? Did any conflicts occur?"
"Ning Fengzhi didn't express his stance, and both sides have been restrained. After all, in your previous decisions, our positioning was more inclined to serving the common people, and there weren't many high-end goods, focusing on a boutique route."
"The only conflict was because of Ning Fengzhi's daughter. She was instigated by someone and smashed a shop in a small city. Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi personally came to apologize and compensated three times the losses, so it wasn't a big deal."
"However, it was because of his visit that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also started competing with us in the low-end market, causing dissatisfaction among some people within the Chamber of Commerce."
"After all, you were the one who chose the people at the time, so Broad Hill and I didn't want to personally handle it."
Azure Luan explained the whole story, waiting for Han Li's reply.
"Is there any malicious competition?"
Han Li raised his eyebrows, seemingly not surprised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's choice.
"No, Ning Fengzhi is still very disciplined, but he has also shared some of the profits as a result."
Azure Luan shook her head, giving a relatively fair judgment.
"Then don't worry about it, just continue to set up channels according to the original plan. Hmm, after we get to the town, call all the people in charge over, and I'll talk to them."
Han Li pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Simple money no longer had the same effect on him as before; enough was enough.
His original intention in establishing the chamber of commerce was to make money while trying to improve the lives of the people at the bottom, and to establish an intelligence network along the way, but the appearance of the Good Son had gradually replaced the advantage of intelligence.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's willingness to join now was not unacceptable to him.
If they wanted to share the profits, they could. If they wanted fame, they could have it, as long as they could hold onto it in the end.
However, the people below were now having extra thoughts, and it was time to knock them into shape.
Also, Ning Rongrong, she smashed his shop, right? He had noted it down.
After a simple cleanup, the group headed towards the town and moved into a large courtyard belonging to the chamber of commerce.
In the following days, they all lived a relatively leisurely life, of course, this did not include Han Li.
His perception was not wrong. On the afternoon of the day he arrived in town, the Plane Consciousness woke up from its slumber.
Then, after greeting him with enthusiasm, it was immediately caught by Han Li to be a laborer, throwing its limited enthusiasm into the infinite research career.
During this period, Han Li also met with several heads of the chamber of commerce. An hour later, some of them were radiant, and some were pale, and they respectfully bid farewell and left.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Han Li finally walked out of the room and threw the Inner Core to Du Gu Yan.
From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was in a very good mood.
"What great news?"
Broad Hill lay comfortably on the chair and asked lazily.
"The kind that leads directly to Titled Douluo, or even Peerless Douluo."
Han Li walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, used his Soul Power to warm it, and drank it in one gulp.
"That strong?"
Dugu Bo stood up abruptly, moved behind Han Li, massaged his shoulders ingratiatingly, pushed him to his seat, and did not forget to refill his cup.
A look of surprise flashed across Azure Luan 's face, but she had always been indifferent, and could not do what Dugu Bo did.
"Oh, is that all?"
Broad Hill said in a very annoying tone, and glanced at Dugu Bo with disgust, revealing a look of being ashamed to be with him.
He still had an Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that perfectly matched his attributes, so he didn't feel any burden in his heart. He had already realized his Peerless Douluo dream.
Cough, although he also relied on his disciple, it did not prevent him from despising others.
"Get out of here, come, Xiao Li, tell me in detail."
Dugu Bo took out a fan from somewhere and fanned Han Li a few times.
"Inner Core, I imitated the formation of the Inner Core and deduced a method of condensing a Soul Core, which can not only help Soul Masters break through, but also accelerate cultivation."
"Of course, after condensing the Soul Core, although the total amount of Soul Power will not increase, it can greatly improve Soul Power recovery and endurance, and the combat power will naturally increase."
Han Li enjoyed Dugu Bo's service with peace of mind, and glanced at his Master.
Broad Hill's expression changed, he quickly got up, pushed Dugu Bo aside, snatched his fan, and fanned it a few times.
"Come, good disciple, you continue to talk, I knew your discovery must be extraordinary."
Broad Hill's face was full of smiles, as if he was not the one who despised Dugu Bo just now.
His actions made Dugu Bo and Azure Luan 's faces twitch a few times unconsciously, and they looked away.
In terms of shamelessness, among all the people they knew, they would call Broad Hill the strongest.
Du Gu Yan and the three girls covered their mouths and chuckled. They were used to the bickering between the Master and disciple. In their words, Master Broad Hill was still very cute.
Seeing his Master's actions, Han Li couldn't help but smile.
"Inner Core, uh, condensing a Soul Core, it's difficult and easy to say. In essence, it's learning from the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, gathering all the essence, energy, and spirit together to form a stable core."
"Instead of cultivating our bodies, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power separately, leading to fatal shortcomings in certain aspects, getting stuck at the Soul Sage stage, or before the Titled Douluo stage."
Han Li stated the essence of the Soul Core simply and clearly.
Accurately speaking, the Soul Core he researched is not the same as the Soul Cores that appeared in later generations. He referenced the principles of the Inner Core more.
"The three are combined into one, using the advancement of Soul Power to actively drive the advancement of the other two, making up for the lack of physical body cultivation methods and spiritual cultivation methods?"
Dugu Bo had condensed a Poison Pill before, so he had some experience. He murmured as he pondered.
"Indeed."
Han Li nodded, indicating that his statement was correct.
"But, in that case, even if it is successfully condensed, it will slow down the advancement speed of Soul Power, after all, the other two must be improved simultaneously."
Broad Hill stopped fanning himself and said with some incomprehension, Azure Luan also nodded in agreement.
"If it's just like this, it is indeed as Master said, but I didn't say I was finished."
"If the Soul Core is condensed according to what I said before, it can indeed make up for the shortcomings, but it will also slow down the cultivation speed. Although it can gradually catch up later, there are too many uncertain factors during this period."
Han Li shook his head as he said this. Wasn't the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent suffering from this?
"However, when condensing the Soul Core, use the Soul Core to absorb the power of space and directly store the Soul Power in it. After that, it's simple. As long as the Soul Core is still rotating, it will continuously absorb Soul Power from the outside world. Whether it is cultivation or combat endurance, it is no longer a problem. The matter of slowing down the cultivation speed that you mentioned is directly solved."
Han Li revealed the specific principles in full and looked at the three Titled Douluos.
"If this is the case, then after condensing the Soul Core, the cultivation speed will instead be strengthened. Even the strengthening of any aspect can accelerate the cultivation again, such as absorbing Soul Bones."
Broad Hill followed Han Li's statement and simply deduced it, coming to an even more unacceptable result.
"That's right, Master understands it as soon as I explain it."
Han Li gave Broad Hill a thumbs up, with an extremely bright smile on his face.
Otherwise, just because of the probing, the Domain, and a little bit of cultivation acceleration for him, it would be too uneconomical for him to venture into the Slaughter City.
"However, the conditions for condensing the Soul Core itself are indeed a bit harsh, the threshold is too high."
Azure Luan glanced at the three girls meaningfully. With their current strength, it would be difficult for them to even sense the power of space, let alone absorb it.
"This is originally a cultivation method that belongs to geniuses. As for the cultivation mode suitable for normal people, we'll talk about it later. I don't want to waste time on this now, and the flaws in that kind of cultivation method are too great, it is easy to get stuck in a bottleneck."
"As for Sister Xiu'er and the others, as long as we take care of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, everything will be fine. Otherwise, even if I can use the power of space, there will be some danger, and they can only be delayed."
Han Li smiled at the three girls, then turned to look at the three Titled Douluos, as if thinking about something.
