Heavenly Eye Prototype

Upon entering the Soul Tool Hall, Su Fan immediately sensed a change in atmosphere.

There were no overly luxurious decorations within the Soul Tool Hall.

Yet Su Fan could sense its extraordinary nature.

The corridor lamps were Soul Tool Lamps, there were Soul Tool conveyor belts inside the shop, and even the desk used by the reception counter was a Soul Tool with numerous functions.

If the Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Royal Team had displayed the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced combat-oriented Soul Tool technology during the Soul Master Tournament, then everything in this Soul Tool Hall demonstrated the Sun Moon Empire's advanced Soul Tools in the civilian sector.

Under the receptionist's guidance, Su Fan gained a general understanding of the Soul Tool Hall's layout.

It was divided into three areas.

They were the combat category, auxiliary category, and civilian category.

The civilian section occupied the largest area and had the greatest flow of customers.

Su Fan did not visit the civilian Soul Tool section.

He went straight to the auxiliary section.

This auxiliary section contained all kinds of Soul Tools with supportive effects.

Soul Tool Shields were not considered auxiliary Soul Tools. They were classified under the combat category as defensive combat Soul Tools.

Under the Soul Tool Hall's classification, auxiliary Soul Tools were those capable of performing the functions of auxiliary-type Soul Masters.

For example, Su Fan saw a necklace. When activated, it released a shower of light that could heal a Soul Master's injuries.

There was also an earring that could enhance a Soul Master's hearing when activated.

Flight-type Soul Tools were also included in this section.

Su Fan felt as though his horizons had been broadened.

He truly had never seen so many Soul Tools with such flashy and varied functions before.

At Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy, the Soul Tools he could see were either Soul Cannons or blades, spears, and swords.

"The Core Array truly is analyzing Soul Masters' soul skills, or rather, the laws of heaven and earth."

Electrolux sighed within Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

He was already impatient to study new Core Arrays.

After learning the details of one Soul Tool after another, Su Fan ultimately chose a pendant.

The pendant had a calming effect that could help Soul Engineers focus their minds, preventing mistakes when crafting Soul Tools or inscribing Core Arrays.

Besides the pendant, Su Fan also bought a pair of glasses. Their effect was to expand one's field of vision. By injecting spiritual power into them, one could release spiritual power to scan an area ahead.

Although the scanned area was extremely small, such that a Soul Engineer could only scan the tabletop area in front of them after putting them on and activating them,

it was already very practical.

Su Fan bought both Soul Tools.

The pendant was a Class 4 Soul Tool, while the glasses were a Class 5 Soul Tool.

They cost Su Fan a total of five thousand Gold Soul Coins.

After returning to the Su Family, Su Fan took out the glasses and began studying them.

"Elder Yi, is there still room to improve this set of Core Arrays?"

Electrolux had already analyzed it along the way.

"There is naturally room for improvement. The method of using spiritual power for scanning is far too crude, resulting in both the scan results and range being insufficiently impressive."

A Class 5 Soul Tool, insufficiently impressive.

Electrolux's assessment left Su Fan somewhat speechless.

This was an auxiliary Soul Tool, and its purpose was not genuine spiritual detection. It was simply meant to help Soul Engineers observe the Core Arrays of the Soul Tools before them.

It was already good enough.

However, Electrolux's assessment was not without value.

Su Fan could hear Electrolux's confidence in improving the glasses.

"How far can you improve it?"

"I am not sure. My grasp of the foundations of Soul Tools is still insufficient."

A skyscraper could not be built without laying each brick and tile.

The structure of every floor and the design of every room required corresponding knowledge.

Electrolux was confident that once he acquired that knowledge, he could integrate it all and design such a building.

But he lacked that foundational knowledge now.

Su Fan was not discouraged.

Being able to improve it was a good thing.

"I simplified the useful Core Arrays within it for you. They are probably only at the level of a Class 3 Soul Tool," Electrolux said.

As he spoke, he sketched a Core Array within Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

"Only Class 3?" Su Fan asked in surprise.

"It included many arrays useless for detection, so I simplified them all away."

Su Fan gave Elder Yi a thumbs-up.

He truly understood Su Fan's needs.

He quickly memorized the Core Array in his Sea of Consciousness, then began inscribing it.

He inscribed the Core Array into the apertures of his eyes.

The entire process lasted two hours.

After finishing the inscription, Su Fan did not activate the array within his apertures, yet he felt as if his eyesight had somehow improved.

"Activate it and see."

Circulating Soul Power into his eye apertures, a glimmer flashed through Su Fan's eyes.

The next instant, Su Fan's vision completely changed.

The light captured by his naked eyes was replaced.

This was an entirely new sense, the sensation of... spiritual scanning.

Everything before him was information transmitted back after spiritual power spread ahead, interacted with everything in front of him, and then formed an image.

There was no color.

It was like a three-hundred-and-sixty-five-degree radar without blind spots.

Controlling his Soul Power, Su Fan suppressed the effects of the Core Arrays in his two apertures.

Su Fan's vision returned to normal.

Upon that normal vision, the spiritual sensation from before was overlaid once more.

"It is certainly still far inferior to Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, but my Heavenly Eye Technique has the advantage of being able to improve."

Su Fan named it the Heavenly Eye Technique.

Tossing the glasses aside, Su Fan turned to look at the pendant he had bought.

The pendant had a mind-calming function, and Su Fan had already tested it at the Soul Tool Pavilion.

Electrolux had also analyzed the Core Array inside it while he returned to the Su Family.

"It truly has the effect of condensing spiritual power. It can be integrated into your Soul Aperture."

Hearing Electrolux's words, Su Fan smiled.

That was good.

He once again quickly memorized the Core Array Electrolux had sketched in his Sea of Consciousness, then inscribed the corresponding arrays into his Soul Aperture one by one as time slowly passed.

Su Fan's cultivation life was very fulfilling.

Yet from Su Qian's perspective, Su Fan was simply wasting his life.

Even if Su Fan had not been one of his own people, Su Qian still felt a sense of frustration at his failure to live up to expectations.

"He went to the Soul Tool Pavilion and bought two auxiliary Soul Tools, but he has yet to make even a single Soul Tool?"

Su Qian was starting to feel uneasy.

He was now worried that the Heavenly Soul Royal Family would hold him accountable after learning of Su Fan's "learning progress" here.

Su Fan did not visit the Soul Tool Pavilion very often, only seven times a week.

However, he did not buy Soul Tools frequently. Of those seven visits, he would only make a purchase once, so he did not draw much attention.

Time passed just like that.

In the blink of an eye, Su Fan had already been in Ming Capital for half a year.

While Su Fan collected various special Soul Tools and inscribed their Core Arrays into his apertures, the members of the Body Sect continued digging tunnels.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Embryo's exact location had not yet been determined.

But as for tunnels, they might as well dig first.

Once they reached directly beneath Mingde Hall, it would not be too late to confirm the precise coordinates.

After half a year, the Body Sect had already dug most of the tunnel.

Only the final stretch remained before they reached Mingde Hall.
