Two Hundred Years of Planning!

As Zhou Qing dug deeper, revealing fifty centimeters of black soil underground, he felt a difference with each shovelful.

The shovel was lost.

Squat down.

After groping around for a while, Zhou Qing grabbed a handful of black sand and gravel from the bottom.

These pebbles, some as small as sesame seeds and others as large as a fingernail, have irregular surfaces but a distinct luster, similar to pebbles washed by river water.

Zhou Qing Circulating the Heavenly Cycle, allowing his Soul Power to flow through his palms.

In an instant, the sand and gravel began to pulsate slightly in Zhou Qing's palm, and they actually combined together to form short, winding sticks of varying lengths and thicknesses.

Soul Power can be transmitted through it at an extremely fast speed with almost no loss.

"What's this?"

Zhou Qing looked at Romantina, hoping she would say something.

But Romantina shook her head. "I don't know her."

"Then we'll have to ask Ning Rongrong tomorrow."

Zhou Qing sighed and then brought up the current situation, "But this thing can transmit Soul Power at an extremely fast speed, and it's even laid underground... This situation has already proven that someone is plotting behind the scenes to build the Soul Tool Core Formation in Falling Star City."

Considering the eerie patterns on the distribution map, Zhou Qing suspected that if the Magic Array was truly exceptionally perfect, its activation might cause widespread devastation in the entire Falling Star City.

"What should we do now?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Of course, we should destroy this Magic Array!"

Romantina realized that this thing could affect the Life and safety of everyone in Falling Star City, and immediately blurted it out.

Although Falling Star City was not her birthplace, she was determined to become a great knight and wanted to protect everything, so she would never be indifferent to this.

"Zhou Qing, let's destroy the entire road!"

"Do you want to become a wanted criminal in Falling Star City?"

Zhou Qing put the sand and gravel in his hand into the Gray Pouch, rolled his eyes, and said, "We have no idea how much sand and gravel is laid underneath, how wide or how thick it is. How can we possibly dig it all out? Even if we were to do that, we would have to mobilize the entire city. With just a few of us, how long would it take?"

"Since someone laid out this kind of sand and gravel that can conduct Soul Power, it proves that this Magic Array has the nodes you mentioned that can function. We just need to destroy them, right?" Romantina, her Martial Soul Possession, said, "I have Spiritual Detection skill; I should be able to find what's buried deep underground..."

"Stop!"

Zhou Qing hurriedly interrupted Romantina's use of Spiritual Detection, "Why do you think I didn't let you use your Soul Skill in the first place, but instead had you come to dig at night? It's because our mission target in Falling Star City is very likely to possess a Spirit Devouring Worm Martial Soul, which is extremely sensitive to Spiritual Power!"

Tang San immediately grasped the key point. "You mean, the Soul Ancestor we're hunting down is related to this matter?"

"He didn't go anywhere else, but came to Falling Star City. It's possible that he met Dales six years ago, but it's also possible that he's been in Falling Star City for a long time." Zhou Qing nodded slightly. "We can't rule out that possibility. Moreover, in the past two hundred years, the successive city lords of Falling Star City have made corresponding plans for the city's roads and buildings... They all died of illness in the end... There must be a mastermind behind all of this."

Romantina exclaimed in surprise, "That person has lived for over two hundred years?"

"It's not impossible."

In the modern society of my previous life, there were ordinary people who were good at maintaining their health and lived to be over 150 years old. In the Douluo Continent, there are things like Martial Soul and Soul Power. If a Soul Master is good at maintaining their health and keeps living a long life, it is not difficult to live to be over 200 years old.

However, Zhou Qing believes that "a more likely scenario is a scheme involving 'family inheritance,' where generation after generation of Soul Master have used the city lords of Falling Star City for the past two hundred years to help their families build such a peculiar Soul Tool Core Formation, changing the Aura Field of Falling Star City to their desired state, and thus plotting something..."

"That's truly commendable perseverance!"

Tang San's tone was slightly Taunt.

With that perseverance and knowledge, wouldn't it be better to study proper Martial Soul knowledge? After three or four generations, they would surely gain something, enough to make the family grow stronger step by step.

Zhou Qing didn't offer any opinion, but simply instructed everyone to pile the soil back into the pit and then put all the blue bricks back one by one.

Even though one of the bricks was broken, once it was pieced back together, an ordinary person wouldn't notice the cracks in the bricks beneath their feet...

Nothing was said that night.

The dawn peeked out from the clouds in the east.

While Tang San was cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, Zhou Qing, Romantina, Xiao Wu, and You Hui were doing Broadcast Gymnastics.

Among them, You Hui was forcibly taken along by Romantina.

At first, You Hui was a little shy and nervous, but as her body movements coordinated with the "one, two, three, four" chant, her Qi and Blood flowed freely, and she became much happier.

She herself noticed this change and became somewhat curious about Zhou Qing —what secrets was this boy who fascinated Romantina hiding?

What are you doing?

Ning Rongrong's voice rang out from outside the courtyard gate.

"How did you get in?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

"Of course, we'll use a VPN."

Ning Rongrong chuckled and asked about the Broadcast Gymnastics.

Zhou Qing told her the truth and said that if she wanted to learn, she could teach her for free.

"No way, that's too indecent."

This is indeed true. The movements of Broadcast Gymnastics are not designed according to dance standards. Their purpose is to loosen muscles and bones and promote Qi and Blood.

Ning Rongrong's refusal was understandable, but in the end she felt it was boring to watch alone, so she joined in—well, at such a young age, she already has the potential to be arrogant!

When Tang San finished cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, he jumped down and joined Zhou Qing and the others in doing Broadcast Gymnastics, stretching his muscles and bones.

After completing three rounds of Broadcast Gymnastics, everyone went to the kitchen for breakfast, led by their hostess, You Hui. Wang Shi was heavily pregnant, served the prepared breakfast to the table with her servants.

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, Wang Shi wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude, but Zhou Qing stopped her, saying, "Auntie Wang, you still have a child in your belly."

"This... that... I'm so sorry." Wang Shi looked at Ning Rongrong with eyes full of apology.

"What do you mean by 'I'm sorry' or 'I'm sorry'?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Wang Shi's large belly and smiled, "You should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy."

"Auntie Wang, after we finish our business, we'll take you back to Holy Soul Village." Tang San planned to return to Holy Soul Village later to help Uncle Wang get his broken leg and ribs set. "I learned some medical skills in Nuoding City, so I can take a look at Uncle Wang."

If Tang San were just an ordinary six-year-old child, Wang Shi would never believe that he could cure diseases. But Tang San started blacksmithing in the village when he was four or five years old, and now he has become Soul Master. Maybe he really has the ability to cure her husband!
