2024-12-03 10:27:17Thinking of this, Albert Martin was completely stunned. This was simply a bottomless pit. The Martin family founded by his father and mother probably couldn't afford to support a spendthrift like him.
It seemed that his father and mother had foreseen this; otherwise, the Martin family would really be bankrupted by him.
Upgrading from Five-Star to Six-Star was still bearable. Don't think about the later upgrades for now. Just focus on the current task first.
Albert Martin then began to concentrate on his cultivation. During the day, he practiced the Myriad Spirits Transformation to temper his soul power, and at night, he absorbed the Soul Liquid to increase the star level until the Soul Liquid was used up.
In the accounting room, Cherry was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress. The dress was as smooth as silk, tightly wrapping around her curvaceous body. She was sitting slightly sideways, with a slender waist that was so tiny it seemed one could hold it with just one hand.
The hem of the dress fell gracefully on her long, slender legs. With her slightest movements, it would occasionally sway into an enchanting curve. Her legs were straight and well-proportioned, looking even fairer than snow against the black dress.
Cherry's top was designed with a low neckline, revealing a patch of delicate porcelain-like skin and an alluring cleavage that was faintly visible, exuding an irresistible sexy charm.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adding a touch of laziness and charm.
Cherry looked away from the account book and turned to Steward Lee. "The business of the Martin family in Navia City has decreased significantly this year."
Steward Lee said with a wry smile, "Yes, Chief Steward. There are three local families in Navia City: the Mill family, the Gunter family, and the Green family. Although they can't compare with the entire Martin family, they have deep roots in Navia City. They have been encroaching on us quite severely. Among them, the Mill family is the most aggressive. Recently, two of our chambers of commerce were suppressed by them in various ways and then annexed."
Cherry sighed. "Alas, when the two heads of the family were still around, the heads of these families would visit us with gifts every year. Things are really different now."
Cherry was extremely intelligent. The Martin family had originally squeezed the interests of the three major families in Navia City. Now that the Martin family was facing both internal and external troubles, it was no wonder they would take advantage of the situation.
At present, the Martin family really couldn't spare anyone to come to support in Navia City.
After thinking for a moment, Cherry said, "Close down some of the shops that are not making a profit for the time being. There's no need to get entangled with them. Allocate the staff to other shops instead."
Temporary forbearance is necessary. When the Martin family stabilizes, these families will have to spit out however many shops they have swallowed.
The other stewards nodded and left one by one.
At this time, Cherry, who was wearing a figure-hugging black long dress, was about to go out when she saw Young Master Albert Martin running over in a hurry. Cherry slightly raised her delicate eyebrows and said with her red lips slightly parted, "Young Master, what's the rush?"
Albert Martin stopped, panting slightly. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the fifty portions of Soul Liquid I purchased a few days ago have been used up. I'd like to ask Sister Cherry to purchase another hundred portions of Four-Star Soul Liquid."
Hearing this, Cherry's beautiful eyes widened, and she slapped the table with her jade-like hand, shouting angrily, "Albert Martin, do you want me to lose my job?"
Cherry's sudden reaction really startled Albert Martin. Looking at the anger on Cherry's face, he felt a flurry of panic in his heart and quickly explained, "Sister Cherry, everyone can see your ability. How could I want you to lose your job?"
After a while, Cherry's emotions gradually calmed down, and she said with a hint of apology, "Young Master, I'm sorry. I was a bit too outspoken just now." Then, she slightly narrowed her eyes, and her gaze became sharp as she added, "Could it be that someone is deceiving you, Young Master, trying to obtain Soul Liquid by using your identity?"
Albert Martin shook his head firmly and replied, "Sister Cherry, I really do need the Soul Liquid. No one is deceiving me."
"Don't blame me for being nosy, Young Master. What on earth are you going to do with so much Soul Liquid? I'm also worried that you might believe someone's lies and do something harmful to yourself. I'm even more afraid that Emily will blame me for not taking good care of you." Cherry said worriedly.
Albert Martin was silent for a moment, thinking that the awakening of his soul would be made public sooner or later. He would still need Sister Cherry's help to purchase Soul Liquid in the future. Then he said, "Sister Cherry, my parents left me a secret technique that can awaken my soul, and the Soul Liquid is an essential thing."
After hearing this, Cherry nodded slightly and said, "In that case, indeed, nothing is more important than the awakening of your soul, Young Master. I'll go and make the arrangements right away. It's just that this will cost more than a hundred thousand gold coins again, and half of the gold reserve will be gone. This will make the already precarious Navia City branch of the Martin family even worse."
Albert Martin asked with some concern, "Sister Cherry, is it very difficult for you?"
"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll handle it." Cherry said firmly.
Albert Martin and Cherry talked for a while longer, and then Cherry turned and left

In less than half a day, Sister Cherry sent someone to deliver 100 bottles of Soul Liquid. Then Albert Martin began his crazy cultivation mode. When the last bottle of Soul Liquid was used up, the Wood-Light Element Soul had been upgraded to 5 stars, and at the same time, his realm had also been promoted to the 6th stage of the Entry Level.Entry Level: It's the first realm, which is the entry realm after humans start their cultivation. It is divided into 1 to 9 stages.Soul Warrior: It is divided into three minor realms, namely High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade.Soul Master: Minor Soul Realm - Major Soul Realm - Silver Soul Body - Gold Soul Body - (One-Light Soul - Two-Light Soul - Three-Light Soul) - Colored Soul Body.Celestial Spirit: Small Celestial Spirit with 1 to 9 stars (one can choose to advance after reaching 5 stars) - Medium Celestial Spirit - Great Celestial Spirit - Perfect Spirit.Divine Realm: It is divided into nine grades.And then there are the Holy Spirit and

In the afternoon, it was time for the Soul Power class.To the east of the Navia Academy, there was a forest. The forest was lush and green. And right in the middle of the forest, there was a huge lake filled with lotus flowers. Each lotus leaf was about two meters in size, with a rush cushion placed on it for students to sit on and cultivate. This was the Soul Power Lake.Deep in the bottom of the lake, there was a huge formation that could gather the energy between heaven and earth and convert it into Soul Power through the formation.Those broad lotus leaves in the Soul Power Lake were made of an unknown material. They seemed like individual cultivation platforms, and each leaf could accommodate one student for cultivation. Such a Soul Power Lake was an essential cultivation holy land for every academy. However, the scale of the Soul Power Lake in each academy was different. In fact, it was similar to the cultivation room in Albert Martin's family. If we just talked about the effect

Albert Martin had just sat cross-legged on a red lotus leaf and was about to regulate his breath and start cultivating when he heard some commotion around him. He raised his eyes and saw Henry walking over from the purple lotus leaves in the middle, surrounded by a group of cronies.Henry was rather tall and strong, with a fair complexion. However, the sinister look in his eyes made him seem rather gloomy. There was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and he swept a contemptuous glance at Albert Martin."Oh, isn't this Albert Martin? What's the matter? Are you pretending to cultivate here again? I thought you didn't dare to come to the academy anymore," Henry said in a sarcastic tone.Albert Martin's expression remained calm and was not affected by Henry's provocation. He slightly raised his eyes and said faintly, "Henry, what do you want?"Henry sneered and took a step forward, saying, "I just don't like the look of you. Do you dare to have a fight with me?"Albert Martin s

Lamb snorted coldly and said, "The purple lotus leaves can have a better effect when used by our Class One than by other classes. I'm not targeting Class Two. That's just the truth."Hill said scornfully, "You want to monopolize the school's resources, yet you put it so nicely. Isn't it just that you want to train a few more students to enter the Nuhester Advanced Academy, add luster to your resume, and finally get promoted to the Nuhester Advanced Academy yourself?"Lamb's face suddenly became much gloomier as he said, "Hill, don't slander me."The other instructors of the Navia Academy, who were standing by, saw the two quarreling and quickly tried to persuade them.Old Dean Walton had a bit of a headache. Purple lotus leaves were extremely scarce, and every class wanted them. After all, the achievements of students were also related to the instructors' promotions. Lamb had been pestering him for a long time, and he had been putting it off. It seemed that he had to give an answer tod

In the stands in the distance, Rosalie stretched her body lazily. The curves outlined by her clothes made even the ladies around her look envious, not to mention those vigorous young men, who all showed greedy expressions one by one.Just came to have a look since I was bored. At this moment, a voice came. Rosalie turned her head to look and saw a girl as beautiful as a fairy with long flowing hair. It was Kelly Stephen."Sister Kelly," Rosalie greeted her hurriedly. Kelly was the top student in Navia Academy. She was not only good-looking but also powerful. Many male students were head over heels for her. If it hadn't been for Emily being so dazzling in the previous session, Kelly would have become a legend in Navia Academy.So Rosalie adored Emily the most, and Kelly came second.When these two stood together, as the most outstanding people in terms of appearance and temperament in the academy at present, they immediately attracted countless gazes.Rosalie asked curiously, "Sister Ke

Bob was clearly angry. He charged straight at Albert, swung the big knife in his hand and slashed at Albert. Immediately, Albert displayed his speed movement technique and dodged to the left. Then he picked up the iron rod and smashed it towards Bob's chest. Only then did Bob react, but it was too late to draw back his knife to block his chest. So he immediately gathered his soul power to protect his chest.Bob thought to himself that after all, Albert didn't have soul power, so his attack power was limited. As long as he used his soul power to defend against it, it would be his turn to counterattack next, and he would surely make Albert pay the price.While Bob was thinking like this, the shadows of the rod came at his chest like lightning.Bang! Severe pain came from Bob's chest. At that moment, Bob felt that the soul power condensed on his chest was scattered like cotton, and a sharp pain came from his chest. Before he could think, his body flew out of the arena and he passed out.A

Everyone stared at this scene in shock. Albert had brought too many incredible things today, and for a moment, people were a bit dumbfounded. "How come he has the water-element soul power?" Rosalie said in shock. At this time, everyone was impacted by the blue element soul power on Albert's body. It was as if they had gone back to that time when that talented young man was around, just like in the old days. David's expression at this moment was extremely interesting. Perhaps this was the last scene he wanted to see. How dazzling Albert had been back then. He didn't want to see Albert rise again. He turned his head to look at Kelly. There was a sparkle in her eyes as she looked at Albert, which hit him even harder. He slowly clenched his fists and stared at Albert with a sinister look in his eyes. Lamb was extremely shocked. "What's going on? How did Albert suddenly have the water-element spiritual power? Did he take some illegal pills?" Hill was also in shock, but upon hearing Lam

Given the potential Albert has shown now, I'm afraid Mentor Lamb from Class One must be feeling really bad. This is such a slap in the face for him. Rosalie looked at Albert's back and said in disbelief, "Didn't he have no soul? How could it suddenly appear?" Kelly said, "Li Luo's situation isn't unheard of. Some rare treasures can make it happen, though they are extremely scarce. However, it's not impossible for Albert's parents to have the ability to do so. Kelly's uncle is the president of the Clark Chamber of Commerce in Navia City, so she has learned a lot from what she has seen and heard." "Why didn't he use that kind of rare treasure until now?" Rosalie said. Kelly smiled and said, "I guess it requires some special conditions. Only Albert knows the details." Kelly's eyes rested on Albert. "Have you finally solved the problem of the empty soul? Can you catch up in the next month?" Mentor Hill on the stands could hardly believe the result in front of him. Lamb, on the other

The sudden embrace of the soft and fragrant body made Albert freeze for a moment. However, before he could enjoy this wonderful feeling for long, Emily pulled away.Albert felt as if his heart had suddenly become empty.He smacked his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "That was too short, wasn't it?"Cherry walked over with a smile and teased, "Don't be in a hurry, young master. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you perform well, why worry about not having more to enjoy?""And..."She pointed at the other antidote potions with her slender fingers and said, "There are still so many antidote potions that haven't had the 'finishing touch' yet. Young master, can you... do it?"She blinked her charming eyes with a beaming smile.Albert looked at those antidote potions placed all over and his heart twitched slightly. His palm involuntarily touched his waist, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell me the words 'I can't'!"Then he picked up the other antidote po

"But how is that possible? How could you have refined the Secret Method Source Water by yourself?"Albert smiled, extended his finger, and soul power gathered at his fingertip. In the end, it turned into a drop of soul power liquid. With a gentle shake, this drop of soul power liquid floated in front of the three women.Emily and the others stared at this drop of soul power liquid. Even though they didn't touch it, they could still feel the familiar fluctuations. After all, they had come into contact with the Secret Method Source Water that Albert had given them many times before.These two were completely the same."Actually, it's not too incredible. Wasn't I an empty soul before? Even though a soul was born again due to certain reasons later, my soul power still shows extremely strong inclusiveness. I call it 'emptiness'. The advantage of this is that my soul power can merge with other soul powers without causing resistance," Albert explained with a smile."Those so-called Secret Me

"Master, we are indeed somewhat unable to help with this trouble this time."At this moment, Leo let out a sigh and said, "However, my teacher should be able to return to Newhurst City soon. When that time comes, if you invite the old master here again, there should be some hope."Albert's expression was indifferent. By the time your teacher comes back, the Soul Liquid Hall will probably be in a terrible mess, and there won't be any hope left at all.Emily could even tell that Leo wanted to leave. The key point was that even if this guy left, leaving at this moment would obviously also affect the other healers. When people's hearts disperse, that would be the real trouble.However, at this moment, even she didn't have any other solution. After all, everyone had seen that the antidote developed by Leo had no effect. This poison was probably really beyond what they could handle.There was also a faint look of anxiety on the faces of Cherry and Anna.Just when the intention to back off a

But with the power that Bernard holds in his hands, it's probably extremely difficult to achieve this. So, there must be other forces supporting him behind the scenes."This son of a bitch..."Albert cursed softly.While the two were talking, Cherry suddenly rushed in hurriedly and whispered to the two of them, "The condition of those poisoned Radiant Soul Masters is getting worse and worse. It should be that the poison gas is spreading in their bodies.""Moreover, the news that the Radiant Soul Masters of the Soul Liquid Palace have been poisoned has already spread throughout Newhurst City. There are even rumors saying that these branch Radiant Soul Masters offended the young master, so the young master gave them the Secret Technique Source Water mixed with poison..."There was some anger on her face. Such rumors were really vicious. They not only wanted to destroy the Soul Liquid Palace but also wanted to smear Albert with an indelible stain.Both Albert and Emily frowned. The curre

But Albert's rise forced Bernard to change his plan and come to Newhurst City ahead of schedule."Steward Bernard has extraordinary means. That Albert is just a young lad. If he didn't rely on the remaining prestige of the two mansion masters, how could he possibly contend with you?" Ansel said with a flattering smile."This is exactly the thing that makes people jealous."Bernard shook his head and smiled, saying, "I don't know how many years I've painstakingly built up my current influence and how much effort I've put in. But he can force me into a difficult situation just by relying on the four words 'legitimate and proper'. The two mansion masters still care more about this biological son of theirs. Even after they're gone, they left him quite a bit of capital."Ansel forced a smile and didn't quite know how to respond. He could tell that Bernard didn't hide his emotions in his words, but... Albert was the biological son of the two mansion masters. If they didn't care about him, h

The Clark Chamber of Commerce can offer you a contract for the acquisition of the Soul Liquid Palace. The Martin family will sell the Soul Liquid Palace to the Clark Chamber of Commerce, and I will offer you a high price. Once your Martin family stabilizes, you can buy back the Soul Liquid Palace at the original price," Alice said indifferently.Albert was also a bit surprised by Alice's proposal because the other party was indeed offering very favorable treatment. After all, if he couldn't resolve this crisis, the reputation of the Soul Liquid Palace would be completely ruined, and keeping it in the hands of the Martin family would become a burden. And now that the Clark Chamber of Commerce was acquiring it, the funds could alleviate the Martin family's crisis. Of course, the most important thing was that after the Martin family stabilized, they could still buy back the Soul Liquid Palace at the original price.It could be said that this condition was really considerate of his side.

Kelly quickly looked over and indeed saw Alice, dressed in a red dress, coming towards them quickly accompanied by a group of people."President." Hammer quickly cupped his hands when he saw Alice.Alice nodded at him, swept her gaze across the scene, and then paused for a moment on the reserve warehouse and Albert."What's going on?" she asked slowly.Hammer spoke first, "President, most likely this girl Kelly took the president's jade token secretly while you weren't paying attention, and then she wanted to open the reserve warehouse."Kelly gritted her teeth secretly. This old man Hammer is really mean.Seeing this, Albert beside her secretly sighed and spoke up at this moment, "President Alice, this matter has nothing to do with Kelly. I wanted to purchase a batch of antidote medicinal herbs at double the price, so I asked her for help. I didn't expect things to get so troublesome."Judging from Kelly's expression, it was likely that she really did take out the president's jade to

The group passed through the interior of the Clark Chamber of Commerce. After about ten minutes or so, a huge warehouse came into view. All around the warehouse, there were guards on patrol, and the defense was quite tight.However, just as Kelly led Albert up to it, suddenly a figure rushed over from the side and said in a deep voice, "Kelly, you can't open the reserve warehouse. This doesn't conform to the rules."Albert took a look at the person who came and vaguely had some impression. It seemed that his name was Yaheng, and his father was a vice president of the Clark Chamber of Commerce.Kelly frowned slightly and said, "What doesn't conform to the rules?"Yaheng smiled helplessly, "Kelly, I'm not trying to stop you. It's just that to open the reserve warehouse, you must have the president's jade token as proof. Otherwise, even if you go up there, those guards won't listen to you."Kelly stretched out her small hand, and there was a jade token hanging from her fingertips. On the

When Albert turned and walked away, a tall and burly figure followed closely behind him with several other people."Lord Alvin will escort you. You don't have to worry about the headquarters of the Soul Liquid Palace. I will personally oversee the situation here," Emily's voice came.Albert paused in his steps, didn't say much, just nodded, and then quickly left with Alvin and the others.After Albert left the headquarters of the Soul Liquid Palace, he raised his eyes and his gaze immediately became focused, because he saw that on the streets outside the headquarters, more and more people were gathering here, and at the same time, they were pointing at the headquarters and whispering to each other.Obviously, as they had expected, as soon as the Light Soul Masters here were poisoned, the news began to spread in the city of Niuhester. It was clear that Bernard was secretly fueling the fire.The opponent's offensive, which had been brewing for several days, finally broke out.However, A
