Stirring Turmoil
——
"Zhou Qing, do you know? Something has happened at the Xiao Manor!"
Romanyac was very efficient; in just one night, Romantina became a "Wilderness Survival Training" instructor at the Nuoding Academy.
At least Romantina convinced Nuoding Academy Dean by using the Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing skills "developed" by her Brain Martial Soul.
"Soul Bone are really tempting." Zhou Qing didn't expect that so soon after the Soul Bone Auction ended, some Soul Master would be so eager to make a move.
However, with people dead, some of the remaining Soul Master will likely choose to leave Nuoding City, but it will be to no avail.
After all, Dales ' goal is to create chaos in Nuoding City, so he will definitely spread rumors in secret, and may even exaggerate the age of the Soul Bone to attract Soul Master of the Soul Ancestor and above.
Zhou Qing had seen this kind of "exaggeration" tactic many times in his previous life; all sorts of advertisements and promotions were very fake.
But there are always people who are willing to believe it!
Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level and above are unlikely to be as impulsive as Soul Master or Soul Grandmaster. They are less likely to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion at night. They are more likely to choose to leave directly after learning the true situation of the Moo Spring Ox's Head Soul Bone.
But this is only considering the issue from the perspective of the Soul Bone.
Who can be sure that in the future, Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor or above who come to Nuoding City will not have any conflicts or even hatred among themselves?
Leaving aside the entanglements of interests between the families and forces behind each Soul Master, even if two Soul Master who don't know each other were to fight each other over a trivial matter, it could result in death or even harm innocent bystanders.
Although all cities, large and small, have regulations that prohibit Soul Master from fighting in the streets and alleys if disputes arise, the strongest person in Nuoding City is only at the level of Soul Grandmaster.
The Soul Elder might still be able to manage it.
However, Nuoding City is truly powerless against Soul Master whose Soul Power cultivation reaches the Soul Ancestor or above.
While it's theoretically possible to overwhelm them with sheer numbers, in reality... most of the soldiers and Soul Master in Nuoding City don't have that level of awareness.
Under normal circumstances, Soul Master at the Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor and above would not stay in a small city like Nuoding City, but would go to live in a city with a similar strength level.
But who could have caused the appearance of Soul Bone in Nuoding City?
However, if things continue this way, even if City Lord Xiao manages to cultivate relationships with the city lords of other cities, it's estimated that within six months, high-ranking officials of the Heaven Dou Empire will learn of this matter... He only has six months to quell the situation.
Unfortunately, the news that "City Lord Xiao orchestrated the auction himself" is spreading like wildfire. Even without concrete evidence, he absolutely cannot expose that Soul Bone to the public again, otherwise the matter would truly be considered "true."
"What should we do next?" Romantina asked.
"Let's just make it cold."
Zhou Qing stretched and said, "In such a vortex, it's not something that small Soul Master like you and me with no strength or background can do. Protecting ourselves, working hard to cultivate, and then looking for opportunities in this storm, seizing every chance, is the only way to succeed."
"Is this the only way?" Romantina, unwilling to give up.
"Unless you have a high enough status or reputation in the Soul Master World."
status--
In the Soul Master World, strength has always been paramount. Before Romantina reached a higher level of cultivation, no one would submit to her.
But reputation is much simpler.
Besides making a name for themselves, they can also become famous by researching and publishing Martial Soul Cultivation Theory.
Romantina has no other option but to take this path at the moment.
"Strength, reputation..."
Romantina realized that her wonderful life was gone forever, and it was all because of that bastard Dales.
"Speaking of which, if you hadn't been wary of me back then..."
"Don't make it seem like it's my fault." Zhou Qing initially felt guilty, but then he realized that the exposure of the Soul Bone had only given Dales a sufficient reason to do so. How could it be his fault?
"What I mean is, your initial wariness of me really affected me." Romantina's cheeks flushed again. "It felt like you were cheating on me with someone else. The feeling of betrayal was so exhilarating!"
"What the hell are you thinking about?"
Zhou Qing broke down completely, "Even if I were having an affair with someone else, why would I hide it from you? Pah, you almost led me astray. We're just acquaintances right now, not boyfriend and girlfriend, so there's no need for us to have an affair!"
"Ugh~ That wretched boy! He toyed with my feelings and now he's dumped me! Waaah!" Romantina slumped down next to Library chair, panting heavily, and showed Zhou Qing her true "tears welling up" expression: ~(灬灬)~
Moreover, it seemed that Romantina was even more excited because other people had come to the Library.
"Qing Ge, Romantina, am I interrupting your game?"
Tang San arrived at the Library. Having grown accustomed to Romantina's personality, he also started joking around.
"No, you've come at the perfect time." Zhou Qing's mouth twitched, and he decided to pull Tang San along, extending his palm to him in an invitation.
"Um, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Tang San's expression changed and he immediately turned around.
"Hey! I was just kidding! Don't go!" Zhou Qing shouted.
Tang San eventually turned back around.
He came to the Library to find Zhou Qing Zhou Qing, hoping to discuss with him the purpose of the Soul Guidance Core Array on that Soul Conductor crystal.
"A new idea?" Zhou Qing guessed that the turmoil in Nuoding City had made Tang San wary, and he wanted to use the Magic Array on the Soul Guidance Crystal to combine it with other Hidden Weapon of the Tang Sect to create an even more powerful Soul Tool Hidden Weapon.
"Mm." Tang San nodded.
Zhou Qing took out the Soul Conductor crystal, as well as the Soul Tool Core Formation on each facet of the crystal that he had previously drawn.
Upon careful counting, there are a total of three thousand.
In other words, this Soul Conductor crystal has three thousand facets!
The person capable of inscribing three thousand such complex Soul Tool Core Formation onto this fist-sized Soul Conductor crystal, or the Ancient Civilization that has vanished into history, must have had research on Soul Tool that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
Nowadays.
Zhou Qing and Tang San only tested the approximate effects of eleven of the Soul Tool Core Formation. After all, many Soul Tool Core Formation need to be inscribed on metals, gems, and crystals of different types and qualities to achieve their respective effects.
Whether in Holy Soul Village or Nuoding City, the only metal materials they could access were iron, copper, silver, and gold.
Where do silver and gold come from?
Naturally, they come from Silver Soul Coin and Gold Soul Coin.
The other rare ores and metals cannot be found in a small city like Nuoding City.
Besides that, Tang San hasn't tested all three thousand Soul Tool Core Formation yet. After all, inscribing Soul Tool Core Formation requires concentration and is very mentally taxing. With Tang San's current Spiritual Power at six years old, he can only complete one test per day at most, and he can't test them every day, otherwise he wouldn't need to cultivate at all.
Therefore, there are still more than 2,900 Soul Tool Core Formation have not been tested.
Of the nearly one hundred arrays tested, only eleven Soul Tool Core Formation were effective on common metals such as iron, copper, silver, and gold...
