The Spirit Soul Shop-Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Technique: Dragon Whisker Needles and the Soul Tool Deadly Void

Gu Yue went to the front desk and picked up the key. She even waved it in front of Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai smiled at that. Before long, the four of them went upstairs and entered the Red Ocean private room, which was decorated with roses as its main theme.

Gu Yue and Jiang Huai didn't think much of it, but Tang San was different. He stood dumbly outside the room.

Jiang Huai turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao San?"

Tang San awkwardly scratched his head. "Brother Huai, isn't this place a little..."

Jiang Huai knew what he meant, so he stepped forward and patted Tang San on the shoulder. "What are you afraid of? Gu Yue and I have been here plenty of times. Look at Xiao Wu."

Tang San looked over and saw Xiao Wu playfully tussling with Gu Yue on the bed. He shook his head. He knew that when Xiao Wu was little, she had shared a bed with Jiang Huai and Gu Yue.

But he only thought of Jiang Huai and Gu Yue as children. After all, Jiang Huai and Gu Yue had already made their relationship official.

In fact, when Jiang Huai and Gu Yue had made their relationship official, Jiang Yi, hidden in the shadows, had already reported that her little brother was dating someone back to the Jiang Kingdom. Jiang Liuyu, the ruler of the Jiang Kingdom, was delighted and shared the news with his Princess Consort.

Early the next morning, Tang San got up from the sofa. He glanced at Jiang Huai, who was sitting on the sofa cultivating, shook his head, then went to wash up.

Before long, Jiang Huai emerged from his meditative cultivation. He stretched, glanced at the empty sofa beside him, and lay down.

Hearing the noise, Tang San came in from the balcony and saw Jiang Huai lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. Jiang Huai was also rubbing his temples.

Tang San asked, "Brother Huai, how about we go explore the streets here in a bit?"

Jiang Huai nodded. "Sure. I've made some progress lately in my research on Soul Tools. We can pick up some materials and try making one."

Soon, Gu Yue and Xiao Wu got out of bed and went to wash up on the balcony. Once Xiao Wu was done, she hopped over to Jiang Huai and asked, "Brother Huai, where are we going today?"

Jiang Huai replied, "We'll just wander around, but we're not spending any money. If you want to buy something, ask your fourth brother."

At that, Xiao Wu muttered under her breath and twirled her fingers. Gu Yue smiled and went over to her. "We can wander around, and if you see something you like, you can buy it."

Jiang Huai nodded. "Let's go."

Soon, the four of them were walking through the streets of Suotuo City. The stalls lining the road sold all sorts of things, and there were carriages of every size.

Tang San stopped outside a shop and called out, "Brother Huai! Over here!"

Jiang Huai looked over, nodded, and patted Gu Yue, who was eating. "Let's go over there. Xiao San's calling us."

Gu Yue nodded. "Okay!"

She took the last bite of meat from her skewer, then patted Xiao Wu. The two of them ran over.

Seeing Gu Yue's mouth covered in grease, Jiang Huai took out a handkerchief and handed it to her gently. "Wipe your mouth."

Gu Yue nodded, took the handkerchief, and wiped her mouth. Then she gave it back to Jiang Huai and asked, "Where are we going?"

Jiang Huai, Gu Yue, and Xiao Wu arrived outside a shop. Inside, they could hear Tang San arguing with someone.

Jiang Huai pushed the door open, puzzled. Gu Yue and Xiao Wu followed him inside, just as confused.

Tang San was arguing with a shopkeeper with a shoehorn-shaped face over a stone. Jiang Huai went over and put a hand on his shoulder.

Tang San turned at the touch. Jiang Huai gave him a reassuring look.

The shopkeeper with the shoehorn-shaped face glanced Jiang Huai over, then froze when he saw the belt at Jiang Huai's waist. It bore the character "Jiang." Across the entire continent, who besides that one and only family had the right to engrave their name on a Soul Tool?

The shopkeeper asked Jiang Huai suspiciously, "What's your name, kid?"

Jiang Huai straightened his clothes and replied, "My name is Jiang Huai."

The shopkeeper recoiled in fright. It was clear that Tang San and Jiang Huai knew each other. If Tang San told this young master about the shopkeeper's attempt to overcharge him... The shopkeeper shook his head at the thought.

Jiang Huai glanced at the stone on the table and picked it up. The corner of his mouth lifted as he asked, "How much?"

The shopkeeper replied obsequiously, "It's just a worthless rock. It's not worth much."

"I asked you how much."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat. "I'll sell it to you for ten Gold Soul Coins. I found it while adventuring on Douluo Continent."

When Jiang Huai heard the price, he placed the Gold Soul Coins on the table. Only when he saw the coins did the shopkeeper become certain of Jiang Huai's identity.

Back in the hotel room, Tang San took out the stone. Jiang Huai said nothing and set the things he'd bought for forty Gold Soul Coins on the floor. He put them there to keep any small parts from getting lost. If he left them on the sofa, a piece might fall into it.

Tang San took out a Forging Hammer and struck the stone hard. Instead of shattering into pieces, it turned into countless round, glowing specks that floated in the air.

Overjoyed, Tang San asked Jiang Huai and the others to help gather them. Jiang Huai nodded and used the same technique he used when practicing swordsmanship to collect them.

Soon, Tang San had more than fifty of them in his hand. Jiang Huai picked one up and examined it, puzzled. "What is this?"

Tang San put the Hair Crystal into his Soul Tool, then casually took one out and held it in his hand. He proudly explained, "This is an extremely fine Hidden Weapon. It can easily pierce through flesh and bone."

Seeing that they still didn't believe him, Tang San tossed the Hair Crystal with a special technique. It transformed into a Dragon Whisker Needle and shot forward.

The Dragon Whisker Needle pierced a pillar in the room and embedded itself in the wall. Jiang Huai walked over and pulled it out.

After examining it, Jiang Huai said, "Not bad. It could easily kill an unprepared Soul Master, but it might be completely useless against one who's highly alert."

Tang San nodded. "Exactly. It's sharp enough, but it won't do anything against a powerful Strength-type Soul Master or a defensive Soul Master. But why would I ever give my enemies a chance to fight back?"

Jiang Huai nodded and smiled. "Soul Masters below Soul King rank definitely won't be able to stop this Hidden Weapon."

Soon, Jiang Huai began assembling his Soul Tool. Carving the Soul Tool runes alone took him two days.

Two days later...

Jiang Huai brushed the carved runes clean, then picked up the things he'd bought two days earlier and began assembling them.

A while later...

A hand cannon appeared in Jiang Huai's hands. Tang San stared at the brand-new weapon, puzzled. "Brother Huai, what is this?"

Jiang Huai picked up the hand cannon. "I call it Deadly Void. It's a weapon that leaves no corpse behind. It can erase a person's body without a trace, killing them painlessly."
