Bai Xue was originally her true form. She transformed into this form specifically to familiarize herself with the habits, connections, and everything around the First Prince of Heaven Dou, Xue Qinghe. This was also the first step she took to replace Xue Qinghe.
Now that she has shown herself, it means that she doesn't have much time left.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt an overwhelming sense of irritation. Her fingertips unconsciously tapped lightly on the table of the Council Hall, the rhythm sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Her mind was in turmoil, torn between the woman's schemes and the peaceful life around her. The two thoughts kept pulling at each other, making her restless.
The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the more agitated she became. But when she saw Luo Can walk in from outside, her agitation vanished instantly, and a smile appeared on her face.
" Pavilion Master, you've finally found some time to take a stroll today," Qian Renxue said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyu and Ye Shengxin immediately turned to look at the door, bowed respectfully, and greeted, " Pavilion Master."
Luo Can nodded slightly, glanced at the two of them, and said, "You may leave now. The Vice Pavilion Master and I have important matters to discuss."
"Yes." The two dared not say more, bowed in agreement, and quickly left the Council Hall.
Luo Can walked straight to the chair next to Qian Renxue and sat down. He turned to look at her and asked bluntly, "That Bai Xue, is that Qian Renxue?"
Qian Renxue made no attempt to hide anything and nodded gently, "Mm."
"When do you plan to make your move and devour her?" Luo Can asked again. He was aware of Qian Renxue's plan, but he was more worried that she would repeat the mistakes of the original story.
"Two years at most," Qian Renxue said, clenching her fists.
"And then what? Once she's gone, what will happen to Xue Qinghe? Are you going to do what you did before, kill him outright, then impersonate him and follow the same old path?" Luo Can raised an eyebrow and asked.
Qian Renxue looked up at him, a deep, dark light flashing in her eyes. Her tone was firm. "I will not let Xue Qinghe die. I will use the power of darkness to completely control his mind, making him obediently serve me. This will both Destruction the Heaven Dou Empire and fulfill that woman's plan—a win-win situation."
"Okay, as long as you've thought it through, I'll support you." Luo Can nodded and said no more.
Luo Can then called Ye Shengxin back in and inquired about the preparations for the pharmacies in Suotuo City and Nuoding City.
Ye Shengxin quickly replied, "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, the renovations of both branches are now complete. We are currently expediting the preparation of various medicinal herbs and finished pills. Once the materials are ready, Bai Chen and Yang Yan can set off with the staff immediately."
"Very good, thank you for your hard work, Senior Ye." Luo Can nodded in satisfaction. The pharmacy is an important source of cash flow for the Fate Defying Pavilion in the future, and it must be put on the right track as soon as possible.
After explaining the shop's details, Luo Can turned and headed towards the Soul Tool Hall.
As soon as you approach the Soul Tool Hall, you can hear the clanging and banging of forging coming from inside. The furnace fire burns fiercely all day long, emitting waves of heat, creating a scene of bustling activity.
The blacksmiths and disciples brought by Lou Gao have now mastered the basic skills and can independently forge the components of first and second-level Soul Tool. With Ju Zi in charge of inscribing the core formation, they can quickly assemble a large number of finished Soul Tool, which is several times more efficient than before.
When Si Long saw Luo Can enter, he quickly put down the metal plate he had just finished quenching and went to greet him.
" Pavilion Master, you've arrived." Si Long's face was filled with excitement.
"Hmm, come and take a look. How well do you guys understand Soul Tool?" Luo Can's gaze swept over the busy workshop.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, everything is going smoothly so far!" Si Long spoke quickly, clearly well aware of the situation. "Teacher Lou Gao and Hall Master Ju Zi are currently spending most of their time in the innermost dedicated forging room, focusing on tackling the last few core challenges of the ' Firefly ' Battle Armor. The main issue is the compatibility between the ' Space Folding Array ' and the ' Space Stabilization Component.' Once they break through, we'll be one step closer to reproducing this Second-Class Battle Armor!"
He pointed to the busy craftsmen outside. "As for mass production, thanks to the teacher's standardized component design and the Hall Master Ju Zi's optimized assembly line process, we can now stably produce about 150 sets of 'accessories' for various first and second-level Soul Tool every day. Junior Sister Si Yu and Junior Brother Si Di are working hard to study and practice the engraving techniques of the first and second-level Soul Tool Core Array left by the Hall Master Ju Zi. They are making rapid progress. According to the Hall Master's estimate, they will be able to master the engraving of these basic arrays in about a month."
"At that time, the entire mass production process of first and second-level Soul Tool, from component production to the inscription of the Core Array, and finally to assembly and debugging, will be on the right track! Hall Master Ju Zi will also be able to free up more energy to focus on the research of higher-level Soul Tool and Battle Armor!"
As Luo Can listened, he nodded in agreement. Bringing Lou Gao in was indeed the right choice. With the skilled blacksmith team brought by Lou Gao, a Divine Craftsman, and Ju Zi's advanced knowledge of Soul Tool, mass production of low-level Soul Tool was rapidly becoming a reality.
"Very good, you did a good job. Tell Senior Lou Gao not to be too impatient, to proceed steadily and surely. We will not lack resources," Luo Can encouraged.
"Yes, Pavilion Master!" Si Long replied loudly.
He then went to the private foundry that Ju Zi and Lou Gao had exclusively used. Pushing open the door, he saw that the room was filled with various parts of the Firefly Battle Armor. The metallic luster and array patterns complemented each other. On the table next to him, blueprints were piled up like mountains, densely covered with modification notes and calculation data.
Ju Zi buried herself in piles of blueprints, intently sketching energy circuits and core formations, her brows slightly furrowed, completely absorbed in her research.
Lou Gao was making adjustments around the components of the Battle Armor mecha, using blueprints and mecha data.
Both of them were so focused that they didn't even notice Luo Can standing behind them for a long time.
Seeing how engrossed the two were, Luo Can didn't disturb them. He quietly left the forging room and turned to head to the Medicine Hall.
As soon as they entered the Medicine Hall, they heard a series of muffled thuds from fists and feet colliding. They saw Yang Wudi and Cheng Gang sparring in the open space in the courtyard.
The two were locked in a fierce battle. Since obtaining his Eighth Spirit Ring, Yang Wudi's strength had increased dramatically. The terrifying attack power of the Soul Breaking Spear, combined with his relentless offensive style, had temporarily put Cheng Gang at a disadvantage.
However, Cheng Gang was, after all, Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring in his hand, possessing a solid foundation. Although he was suppressed, he was still able to steadily defend himself with his strength and defense, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Moreover, Yang Wudi's defense is his weakness, and if his opponent can exploit this, he can be easily defeated.
Upon hearing footsteps, the two immediately stopped their attacks, simultaneously withdrawing their martial spirits and respectfully bowing to Luo Can, who had arrived on the scene. "Greetings, Pavilion Master."
"It seems you two get along quite well," Luo Can said with a smile.
Cheng Gang laughed heartily and said, "I was just itching to get my hands dirty. Brother Invincible wanted to learn some combat techniques, so I'll spar with him for a few moves."
Yang Wudi nodded in agreement, his tone sincere. "Brother Cheng Gang is incredibly strong. He has given me a lot of guidance in combat, from which I have benefited greatly."
Luo Can nodded slightly, then inquired about Yang Wudi's progress in refining medicine and the production volume of finished medicines at the Medicine Hall.
Yang Wudi's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he said excitedly, "I have basically mastered the refining methods of the three Pill Recipe given by the Pavilion Master. However, at present, only I can refine them, so the output is limited. But all kinds of basic healing medicines, soul power recovery medicines, and typhoid medicines can be mass-produced, which is more than enough to supply the three pharmacies."
Luo Can stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Teach the other core members of the Breaking Clan to refine these three kinds of pills as soon as possible. Once they can refine them independently, I will teach you a new Pill Recipe."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Yang Wudi was overjoyed. He had been obsessed with alchemy all his life, and in his opinion, every Pill Recipe given by Luo Can was a rare treasure in the world.
Luo Can smiled, didn't linger any longer, and turned to leave the Medicine Hall. Afterwards, he went to the Cliff of Desperate Fate to check on the cultivation progress of the Inner Pavilion Disciple and Core Disciple before returning to the Fate Defying Valley.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Can went to the Fate-Defying Lake, took out his fishing rod, and began his daily routine of Fishing.
