Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye frowned, "What exactly is Spirit Hall doing now? They've actually started promoting seeds?"
The officials below looked at each other, equally confused.
Logically speaking, Spirit Hall, as a Spirit Master force, would never bother with commoners, as there was no benefit in it.
Even if Spirit Hall forced the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire to pay Spirit Masters, those were still Spirit Masters.
It had absolutely nothing to do with these ordinary people.
This time...
"Your Majesty, I heard that these crops yield ten times the original amount," one person said.
Many people scoffed upon hearing this.
"Are you stupid? Ten times? You really dare to dream! Do you know how much ten times is? If it really is ten times, our Heaven Dou Empire's strength could increase significantly!"
That person felt a bit wronged: "It wasn't me who said it, it was someone from Spirit Hall."
"It seems the people from Spirit Hall don't know how to farm at all; they're just wasting time."
Emperor Xue Ye didn't listen to them; instead, he looked at Qian Renxue.
"Crown Prince, what do you think Spirit Hall is trying to do with this action?"
Qian Renxue was also a bit confused; she didn't even know what Spirit Hall was doing, feeling as if she were an outsider.
Damn it!
After thinking for a while, Qian Renxue said, "Your Majesty, could it be that Spirit Hall is trying to win over people's hearts?
I don't believe Spirit Hall would do something useless. As for whether those crops yield ten times the amount, I can't say for sure, but we'll know when the autumn harvest comes.
If it really is ten times, then the hearts of these commoners will be won over by Spirit Hall, and even if Spirit Masters emerge later, they will join Spirit Hall."
"Crown Prince, even if some commoners can awaken as Spirit Masters, how many can there be?"
"Exactly, exactly, it's nothing to worry about."
"Spirit Masters value bloodlines. If ordinary people occasionally manifest spirit power, can they have a future?"
As a member of the imperial family, Emperor Xue Ye was very clear on this matter.
Although there was a chance for commoners to become Spirit Masters, it was extremely low.
It would be excellent if even one person out of a hundred possessed spirit power, otherwise the number of Spirit Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't be so small now.
Across the entire continent, roughly a hundred thousand Spirit Masters exist; seventy percent are in Spirit Hall, two percent are in Sects and family forces.
The remaining are in the two great Empires.
To be honest, the situation of the two great Empires was somewhat dire.
"Alright, let Spirit Hall do what it wants. If the crops really yield that much, it will benefit us too," Emperor Xue Ye said with a smile.
On the other side, the Star Luo Empire also held a similar court meeting.
However, as Spirit Masters who had held high positions for too long, they also couldn't understand what Spirit Hall was doing.
...
"You're leaving?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Yes, I need to go see the three single-attribute clans. Besides the Strength Clan, the other three clans can actually be easily brought under control," Xiao Ze said.
"You're really dedicated to Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong said.
"I'm doing it for myself. Only if Spirit Hall thrives can I easily become a god," Xiao Ze shrugged.
"I will handle the matters of the Lower Four Sects," Bibi Dong said.
"Mm."
The two fell silent.
Xiao Ze suddenly stepped forward, his palm unexpectedly covering Bibi Dong's cheek, the warm touch incredibly surprising.
Bibi Dong was startled; just as she was about to act, her right hand was caught by Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze leaned forward, very close to Bibi Dong, so much so that he could smell her breath, a faint fragrance wafting towards him.
"You... what are you doing?!" Bibi Dong's pretty face was a little flushed, and she stammered slightly.
Xiao Ze was too close; their noses were almost touching, and she could even count his eyelashes.
It was her first time being this close to a man.
Yu Xiaogang had never been this close.
As for Qian Xunji, he wasn't a man at all.
Xiao Ze's thumb caressed her red lips, and he smiled, "You're quite cute."
After speaking, Xiao Ze quickly turned and left; otherwise, he would definitely be beaten to death by her.
Bibi Dong froze in place, feeling the warmth from her lips.
Her mind was truly buzzing.
"Xiao Ze!!!!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's sharp cry from behind, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile.
Quite interesting.
Xiao Ze returned to the hotel and saw Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Xiao Ze, you're back," Ning Rongrong stepped forward and hugged his arm.
"You still know how to come back. Anyone would think you were so tempted by Bibi Dong that you wouldn't come home," Liu Erlong said, her tone a little jealous.
"Are you jealous?" Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh; she was already so old and still getting jealous.
"Hmph, me jealous? I'm just telling you to be careful. Bibi Dong is not someone to be trifled with," Liu Erlong immediately said.
"Got it," Xiao Ze nodded.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong and the others knew that Xiao Ze definitely had feelings for Bibi Dong; they were too familiar with Xiao Ze.
However, Ning Rongrong was also a little excited.
Bibi Dong was the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall. If Xiao Ze could really win Bibi Dong over, it would be very interesting.
In the future, she could even stand with her hands on her hips and say, "Even the Supreme Pontiff has to call me big sister."
Just as Ning Rongrong was grinning foolishly, Ye Lingling said, "Xiao Ze, School Master Ning is still waiting for you. He probably wants to discuss your joining Spirit Hall."
"I know," Xiao Ze indeed needed to have a good talk with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, he couldn't let it affect his relationship with Rongrong.
Xiao Ze pinched Ning Rongrong's extremely soft little face: "I need to go discuss something with your father."
"Mm, just don't get into a fight," Ning Rongrong said.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh: "How could we possibly fight?"
"Hehe... you're right."
Xiao Ze glanced at the girls, then went to the room next door.
Only Ning Fengzhi and Sword DouluoChen Xin were there.
"Father-in-law."
"Hahaha, you're here," Ning Fengzhi motioned for Xiao Ze to sit down.
Then his expression darkened, "What exactly are you thinking, becoming the Saint Son of Spirit Hall?"
Xiao Ze didn't answer, but instead asked, "Then, Father-in-law, in your opinion, which is stronger, the Upper Three Sects or Spirit Hall?"
"This... I'm afraid Spirit Hall is still stronger. Those Enforcers are very difficult to deal with," Ning Fengzhi said.
"Then it's simple. If you can't beat them, join them," Xiao Ze said.
Ning Fengzhi was stunned: "You're surrendering?"
"Nonsense. I've already become the Saint Son, and in the future, I'll be the Supreme Pontiff. Then Spirit Hall will be mine, so how can that be called surrendering?"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin looked at each other, wondering why it sounded so logical.
"But..."
"Father-in-law, Spirit Hall is currently ambitious and will eventually target the Upper Three Sects. The Clear Sky Sect is powerful, so the first to be targeted will definitely be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
You won't be their match, so there's no need to clash head-on with Spirit Hall."
