Soul Devouring Engraving Knife

"Your Highness, do you think the Saintess Maiden will be willing to see us?"

Looking at the tightly closed door, Man Yi asked Xu Jiujiu with some uncertainty.

As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiujiu received the most top-notch upbringing.

Both their temperament and cultivation are unmatched by ordinary people.

Even just standing there at the age of thirteen, she exuded an indescribable sense of nobility, and ordinary people would inevitably feel ashamed if they saw her.

Although they were very polite, it was hard to be sure that Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't see them.

The Inheritor of God, Innate Full Soul Power, is the most revered Saintess in the Star Luo Empire besides the emperor.

It's hard to guarantee that she won't develop a dislike for them for Xu Jiujiu because of this, thus turning them away.

After all, she had met Zhu Zhuqing before; he was aloof and difficult to approach.

She was afraid that Xu Jiujiu would run into a wall this time.

"Whether I can come or not, it's a matter of attitude."

Xu Jiujiu had a faint smile on her face. Although she was only thirteen years old, she already had a touch of elegance and nobility.

"Your Highness, the Saintess Maiden invites you in."

Just then, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and a maid ran up to Xu Jiujiu and bowed.

"Okay, could you please lead the way?"

Xu Jiujiu, a smile appeared on his face.

If Zhu Zhuqing is willing to see her, then it means that this Saintess is not really that difficult to approach.

"Let's go, Elder Man, let's pay our respects to Her Saintess Hall."

Xu Jiujiu doesn't have many bad habits, like getting angry if Zhu Zhuqing doesn't come out.

Xu Jiawei had previously given the order that Zhu Lu's position as Saintess would be only half a step below his own.

Even Prince and princesses had to bow their heads in front of her.

Moreover, since the two don't have any proper relationship, why would he come out to greet her?

It would be good enough if we could even let her in for a brief meeting.

Led by the maid, Xu Jiujiu saw the legendary Saintess Hall.

"What an ice queen!"

This was Xu Jiujiu's first impression of Zhu Zhuqing.

Her eyes were calm, as if she had seen through the world, and nothing could affect her in the slightest. Xu Jiujiu, I couldn't help but praise her in my heart.

"Greetings, Your Saintess Hall."

Xu Jiujiu and Man Yi politely bowed to Zhu Zhuqing.

They did not look down on Zhu Zhuqing in the slightest because of her age or level of understanding.

"Yes, have a seat. Is there something you need?"

Zhu Zhuqing dislikes beating around the bush, so if someone comes to see her Xu Jiujiu just to get to know her, then forget it.

Xu Jiujiu's lips twitched. This little Saintess was really cold-hearted, but thankfully she wasn't really here as a guest.

She also came with a mission.

"Your Saintess Hall, these are cultivation resources that my royal brother asked me to bring you. They include various rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid in strengthening your Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and physique, as well as several shells of the Starry Night Energy Gathering Worm..."

Although she knew that Xu Jiawei would stop at nothing to win her over, she never expected Xu Jiawei go to such lengths.

The sheer quantity of various treasures that aid in cultivation can be described as enormous.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are generally safe to consume without side effects, will not cause significant damage to the body, and will not lead to any potential accumulation of medicinal properties.

The downside is that the effect is not ideal and it must be taken for a long time to see obvious results.

Just like bird's nest, although we know that bird's nest is good for people, a single bowl certainly won't have much of an effect.

Of all the things that Xu Jiujiu brought, the most numerous were nourishing and medicinal Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Then there are the bodies of various Soul Beast that gather Dark Energy.

It must be something like the carapace of the Starry Night Energy Gathering Worm Dark Night Holy Scarab the sharp horn of the Dark Unicorn.

All these things together are enough to create a large-scale, dark, Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

"Also, my royal brother asked me to ask Saintess if you have any plans to attend a Soul Master Academy. If you do, we will arrange it for you immediately. If not, we will invite renowned teachers to provide you with professional instruction."

Now that the gifts have been given, the most important thing is to nurture Zhu Zhuqing.

The idea that the entire nation should devote its resources to nurturing Zhu Zhuqing is a shared consensus across the Star Luo Empire.

However, any training should be done after consulting Zhu Zhuqing's opinion.

After all, she's the boss now.

"Elder Wang, could you please put these things away for me?"

Zhu Zhuqing first instructed Wang Xian'er to put the things away before preparing to answer Xu Jiujiu's question.

For her, the answer to this question was already predetermined.

"I'd rather cultivate by myself; too many people are a nuisance."

As expected, Xu Jiujiu did not show any surprise upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's answer, after all, she had already guessed it.

"Then I will immediately arrange for the best teachers to come and provide you with professional instruction, Your Saintess Hall."

Xu Jiujiu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. An opportunity to teach God Position Inheritor was enough to make those people fight tooth and nail for it.

This is a good thing for Zhu Zhuqing, and also a good thing for the Star Luo Imperial Family.

"Just find me a nutritionist, Elder Wang is more than capable of teaching me everything else."

Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of compromising herself just to repay the Xu Family's kindness.

In her current situation, no one can teach her, and others will feel constrained when watching her train.

Therefore, it would be best to directly refuse the Star Luo Empire's plan to send people to the Seraphim, but we can't completely disregard their feelings.

It would be safest to at least let her insert someone into the situation.

"Yes, I understand!"

Even if he was just a cook, it was enough to make Xu Jiujiu happy.

This indicates that Zhu Zhuqing does indeed have the idea of befriending the Star Luo Empire.

"By the way, when will I find Soul Ring?"

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't worried about this at all. With such immense luck, there was nothing she couldn't get; it was just a matter of time.

"His Your Excellency Julu has found a clue about the Netherworld Mantis and will be able to return with Soul Beast that satisfies His Highness in three days at most."

Xu Jiujiu, he answered with great confidence.

"Alright then, could you please prepare something for me?" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Wang Xian'er and then said to Xu Jiujiu.

"As Your Saintess Hall commands."

Xu Jiujiu being angry, Xu Jiujiu was delighted. At this stage, they were willing to pay almost any price to get closer to Zhu Zhuqing. They could prepare anything, even a hundred thousand items, let alone just one.

"I remember there was a Soul Devouring Engraving Knife at the Star Luo Auction House. Could you bring it to me?"

Am I useful?

Zhu Zhuqing planned to purify the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife and then hand it over to Wang Xian'er to enhance its strength.

Level 96 is still a bit low. If she refines the carving knife made of the Gold of Life, her upper limit can be raised to at least Level 99.

It's even possible that they might inherit the position of the Life Goddess.
