The Peerless Sun of Tang Sect

Chapter 301 Outside Shandou City
  At the foot of the lush green mountains is an ancient city that looks a bit quaint and dark yellow. Perhaps because of the special customs of this place, the walls of Shan Dou City were plastered with a layer of yellow mud.

This is why Sandou City looks dark yellow, but from the places where the yellow mud has fallen off the city wall, you can still see that the city wall is still made of ordinary stones.

Sandou City occupies a small area, only half the size of Shrek City, but for a city like Sandou City that is relatively bordering, the area is not small.

Compared with Shrek City, the flow of people in Shandou City is much smaller. Xu Jie and Dugu Lu were walking on the official road leading to Shandou City and saw only a few people walking on the official road.

"No, Lu, there are so few people in Shandou City. You can't see anyone!" Xu Jie looked at the old man not far away who was wearing white linen and carrying a backpack.

Next to the old man was a little boy who was only five or six years old. The little boy held the old man's hand, with a look of sadness on his face that was inappropriate for his age.

"This is how the small town is. It's not because you didn't inform my grandpa, otherwise it would be very lively here now!" Dugu Lu looked at Xu Jie with resentment, when he passed the Guyun Chamber of Commerce in other towns a few times.

He wanted to spread the news back home through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce, but Xu Jie refused several times with excuses.

"Low-key, I said keep a low profile!" Xu Jie shook his head. He didn't understand why Dugulu always wanted his family to welcome him with great fanfare. His current situation really required a low-key.

After saying that, Xu Jie ignored Dugu Lu and quietly walked towards the old man carrying a bamboo basket. Xu Jie could feel that he became obviously more reserved as he approached the old man and held the young man's hand.

"Hello, old man!" Xu Jie said gently without paying attention.

The old man heard the sound and turned to look at Xu Jie, looked at Xu Jie and Dugu Lu, who was also approaching, and said in fear: "Two soul masters, what are you doing?"

Not only the old man, but also the little boy held by the old man had a look of fear on his face.

"Don't be nervous, old man. The two of us are new here. We mainly want to inquire about the situation in Shandou City."

Xu Jie showed a kind smile, flashed the black ring on his hand, and two crystal clear candies suddenly appeared in his hand.

Xu Jie raised his hand and dropped one candy into his mouth, then handed the other to the little boy and looked at the candy in Xu Jie's hand.

The little boy looked at the candy and did not dare to reach out to pick it up.

Hearing the sound, the old man glanced suspiciously at Dugu Lu beside Xu Jie, then patted the little boy's shoulder and motioned for the little boy to take the candy from Xu Jie's hand.

"Thank you so much, Master Soul Master!" the little boy said crisply as he took the candy. He held the candy in his hand and had no intention of eating it.

"Master Soul Master, if you have anything you want to ask, I will tell you everything." Apparently a piece of candy had not dispelled the old man's doubts, and the old man still said nervously.

"What business did you two come to Shan Dou City for?" Xu Jie still maintained a gentle smile on his face, but Dugu Lu beside him became a little impatient, but he didn't say much.

"Ah, it's nothing, just to awaken the martial spirit for my son?" the old man said, touching the little boy beside him, with a little hope on his face, "It would be great if I can awaken the soul power tomorrow, then go there If the Dugu family signs a contract of sale, he won’t have to dig in the soil for food like me!”

"Selling contract!?" Xu Jie turned around and looked at Dugu Lu when he heard the sound, but Dugu Lu shook his head and signaled Xu Jie to continue asking, with no look of panic on his face.

"Well, it's just a contract to sell yourself!" Speaking of his son, the old man became bolder. He explained: "I dare not hide it from Master Soul Master. I am actually from Xiaobao Village!" "Xiaobao Village! ?" Xu Jie looked back at Dugu Lu again with confusion on his face. Dugu Lu obviously knew more about Dou Ling's situation than Xu Jie, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Compared to Shandou City, Xiaobao Village is actually closer to the location of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect!"

"Then why don't you go to the place where the Jiubao Glazed Sect is to awaken the martial spirit for the Qin family tomorrow?" Xu Jie asked immediately after hearing this.

Before the old man could reply, Dugu Lu said: "The Dugu family's awakening ceremony only charges one silver soul coin, while the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect's awakening ceremony charges two silver soul coins!"

"Is it because of this?" Xu Jie said with a frown. It seems that no matter where they are, the people at the bottom have a hard time!

"Not only this, Master Soul Master, the Dugu family's selling contract must also be more generous. As long as you successfully sign the Dugu family's selling contract, you will first be rewarded with a gold soul coin."

When the old man said this, there was hope on his face, as if he hoped that his son could successfully sign the deed of sale to the Dugu family.

"Green..." Xu Jie turned around and looked at Dugu Lu after hearing the sound, with a faint evil light in his eyes. Dugu Lu knew Xu Jie's attitude towards civilians, but he was not nervous at all and explained.

"The Dugu family's contract of betrayal is already very loyal. First of all, if the martial soul awakens and has soul power, the fees for the awakening ceremony will be waived. This is the same whether you sign the contract of betrayal or not. If you only have soul power, it will be waived.

Of course, if you sign with the Dugu family, you will be rewarded with a gold soul coin just as the old man said. Of course, one sign means signing for six years. During these six years, these low-level soul masters will stay at Dugu's house to practice and do some chores.

The Dugu family does not charge any fees, and there is a monthly subsidy of one Gintama coin during the period. Six years later, these children who have awakened their martial spirits will be able to practice to the tenth level.

The deeds of betrayal that were signed earlier also expired at this time, and if signed again, it would be a three-year deed of betrayal. Of course, it all depends on the soul master's own will, and the Dugu family will not force it.

You can rest assured about this, Xu Jie. If you perform well during the three-year contract, the Dugu family will hunt for soul rings for them. "With that said, Dugu Lu approached Xu Jie and said.

"Manager Li of Guyun Chamber of Commerce in Shrek City was selected from this system."

"Yes, yes, Master Soul Master, the Dugu family is still very generous to us!" The old man nodded, and he really meant what he said.

"That's good!" Xu Jie smiled and nodded when he heard this, and didn't say much. With the system in place, it's pretty good that Dugu Lu can do this.

"Come here!" Xu Jie looked down at the little boy beside the old man and said with a smile.

Xu Jie's voice reached his ears, and the old man couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still patted the little boy's shoulder and motioned the little boy to come closer to Xu Jie. It can be seen from the silk clothes on Xu Jie and Dugu Lu that Xu Jie and Dugu Lu are not existences that a poor man like him can resist.

The little boy approached Xu Jie timidly. Xu Jie kept a gentle smile and reached out to touch the little boy. The old man watched Xu Jie's movements nervously, but did not dare to stop him.

Xu Jie put his fully mobile right hand on the little boy's shoulder, and a trace of his pure soul power penetrated into the little boy's body along his right hand.

The pure soul power nourished the little boy's weak meridians, and he felt the weak soul power in the little boy's body. Xu Jie nodded, removed his hand from the little boy's shoulder, and patted the little boy's shoulder.
