Chapter 279 Explosive News After finalizing the plan, everyone started to act. However, if Youhui wants to visit Darles, she cannot go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. She has to prepare a visiting card and gifts before she can visit. "Speaking of this, Darles is only a baron, right?" Xiao Wu was a little confused. "Youhui, you also inherited the status of a baron, right? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?" "There are differences in status between barons." It was Romantina who explained, "In the Xingluo Empire, there are actually two types of titles. One is having an official position, and the other is not having an official position." There is no doubt that Youhui just inherited the noble title and has no real power. The only property he owns is this mansion. Xiao Wu asked again: "What about the title of the Tiandou Empire?" "It's the same as in the Star Luo Empire." Romantina said. Xiao Wu: “······You are really humorous.”
Romantina smiled and said, "I haven't finished what I said. Although they are the same, there are countless people in the Tiandou Empire who hold the title of baron and viscount. So although they are both barons, most of the barons in Tiandou actually have a much lower status than the barons in Xingluo." "The difference in status between barons also depends on whether they hold an official position, how much property they have, whether they have connections with higher-ranking viscounts or earls, etc." "For example, Darles, as the mayor of Falling Star City, naturally has a higher status than Youhui, who also holds the status of a baron. Moreover, he came from an imperial city like Xingluo City. Even if he was ostracized, he still has wealth and connections that ordinary barons can hardly imagine." Xiao Wu just felt that human society was too complicated. Just what Romantina said was a little confusing to her. It's obviously the same identity, why is there such a big difference? "Zhou Qing, you are good at using metaphors, right? Give me some metaphors that I can understand." "Take soul beasts as an example. There are ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, and a hundred thousand years. You will correspond them to baron, viscount, earl, marquis, and duke. Each age is a feng shui ridge. But within the same age, for example, ten years, the lowest is ten years of cultivation, and the highest is ninety-nine years of cultivation. Do you think a soft-bone rabbit with ten years of cultivation can be compared with a soft-bone rabbit with ninety-nine years of cultivation?" After Zhou Qing's analysis, Xiao Wu immediately understood and gave another example, saying: "Does this also apply to the level difference between soul masters? For example, the difference between the eleventh and nineteenth level of soul masters?" "That's the truth." Zhou Qing was very pleased with Xiao Wu's inference. "However, the cultivation and level of soul beasts and soul masters are differences in strength, while the difference between noble titles is not limited to strength. Other factors must be added, such as: connections, wealth, power, etc." "Dales' connections, wealth, power, etc. are far greater than Yuhui's, so Yuhui, who is also a baron, needs to be well prepared when visiting Dales. This is a potential requirement of the superior to the subordinate. It is not clearly stipulated, but the necessary things must be prepared, otherwise she may not be able to formally meet Dales." Xiao Wu just wanted to complain: "There are so many fucking rules!" "A lot, indeed." Zhou Qing did not deny this, and he also disliked this kind of rule... While Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina and Xiao Wu were helping You Hui prepare visiting cards and gifts, Ning Rongrong had already started to take action. After arriving at a busier street, Ning Rongrong closed her eyes and meditated on the martial soul in her body, and activated her talent of sensing treasures to the maximum. Following this perception, she came to a certain place on the street and directly released her martial soul and spirit ring, scaring the surrounding pedestrians and vendors away. Although Ning Rongrong is young, the yellow soul ring has already proved that she is a soul master! Then, Ning Rongrong clapped her hands, summoned the Soul Sect that was secretly protecting her, and said, "Let's start digging." "dig?" The Soul Sect member was stunned. "I got a piece of inside information. For the past two hundred years, the successive city lords of Falling Star City have been planning the construction of roads in the city. In fact, it was not to regulate the order in the city, but to secretly bury several treasures." Ning Rongrong spoke loudly, attracting the attention of people nearby. "My martial spirit just happened to sense it, it's down there, hurry up and dig it out."
Helplessly, this Soul Sect member could only ask his companions who were guarding in secret to come out, buy several shovels, hoes and chisels from nearby shops, and start digging directly. In this way, the order of this street will definitely be disturbed, but the soul sects who are protecting Ning Rongrong can only obey orders - dry. At most, they would be reprimanded by the sect leader afterwards, with words like "I asked you to guard there, not to play pranks with her!", "How could you play pranks with Rongrong?", "When you go back, reflect on your mistakes for three days facing the wall!" and so on. superficial. Don't do it. Who knows, this little witch might play long-term and even more severe pranks on them in the future. Besides, this is just a small Luoxing City, not an imperial city like Tiandou City or Xingluo City. Let alone digging only one place, even if the whole street is dug up, it is not a big deal, just some compensation. If the lord of this small town heard about it, he might immediately bring people over to dig together in order to curry favor with their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. As the blue bricks were removed one by one, revealing the black soil, the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect began to dig. Finally, after digging nearly half a meter deep, they actually found a pile of crystal clear soul crystals. "Is there a soul crystal mine buried underground?!" "Idiot! This is clearly a purified soul crystal, but most of it is of poor quality!" "They really buried the treasure!" "Wait, these soul crystals contain soul power..." The four or five Soul Masters continued digging while discussing, but after digging three to five meters forward and backward along the road, they found that the soul crystals were gone and only soul sand was left. "All right." Ning Rongrong stopped them and selected a soul crystal with the highest purity, which was only the size of a pigeon egg, from the hundreds of soul crystals that were dug up. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "This one has a very good shape and can be used to make buttons. The other soul crystals are not pure enough. Each one is worth at most ten gold soul coins. Don't use them. Bury them and repair the road." Soul Sect members: “???” However, the pedestrians and vendors around were looking at him with burning eyes. What exactly is soul crystal? They don't understand. But one soul crystal is worth ten gold soul coins... Even people with hearing problems can hear it clearly at this moment - this is an opportunity to make a fortune! As for Ning Rongrong burying the "money" again... A soul master lady from a wealthy family is not short of money. She just looks down on soul crystals that are only worth ten gold soul coins based on her preferences... That's normal! But they like it! "Let's go to the next location. I need to make a new dress. One suitable soul crystal is not enough. I heard that the city lords of all generations have been obsessed with burying soul crystals. There are related burial sites in hundreds of areas under the roads of the entire Luoxing City." After the big hole on the street was filled up again, Ning Rongrong waved her hand and beckoned the soul master behind her to follow, but she accidentally revealed an explosive news - (End of this chapter)
