Building a House, Soul Power Control Showcase (Seeking Recommendations)

Led by Village Chief Jack, the group arrived at an open space piled high with construction materials.

Village Chief Jack said to Qian Yufeng, "Master Soul Master, these materials were originally planned for building a new house for my son."

"The materials are all ready. Since it's still early, I can have someone start laying them out; we should be able to get the house set up before dark."

"You offered three silver soul coins, which is more than enough to cover the cost of materials and labor."

He knew the score and dared not take advantage of such noble soul masters, so he spoke the truth.

Qian Yufeng felt that this Village Chief Jack was quite decent, willing to be honest with them.

"Village Chief Jack, since you have already prepared the materials, there is no need to trouble the people of the village with the construction."

"We few have traveled across the continent and possess some skills of our own, haha!"

Qian Yufeng then took out five silver soul coins and handed them to Village Chief Jack.

"You are a very honest person. Use this extra money to get some good food for the children in the village to supplement their nutrition; they are the future hope of the village, after all!"

Village Chief Jack was astonished. This old man was completely different from the soul masters he had met before; the way he looked at him seemed to be treating him as an equal.

He said with a grateful tone, "Thank you for your generosity, Master. On behalf of the children, I express my gratitude!"

He then carefully took the silver soul coins from Qian Yufeng's hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Village Chief Jack, I haven't met many village elders with your character on this continent."

"We are about to start building our house now. You are welcome to watch if you are interested."

Qian Yufeng added.

Thinking that Qian Yufeng was asking him to leave, Village Chief Jack immediately said, "Please build your house in peace, my lords. I will not let the villagers come near here to disturb you!"

With that, he walked away quickly.

Qian Yufeng and his companions looked at each other and shared a smile.

This village chief was truly an interesting man.

Qian Yufeng looked at Qian Lingxin and said, "Put the Dark Demon Evil God Cat down and let it go into the mountain forest to catch three wild chickens and one wild boar."

The Dark Demon Evil God Cat, lying in Qian Lingxin's arms, immediately looked up at him, doubting its own existence.

What? You want me to go hunting?!

Do you take me, the noble Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, for some low-level creature like a hunting dog?!

Qian Lingxin didn't notice the change in its expression; instead, she smiled and stroked its head, saying, "Be a good kitty, our dinner depends on you!"

Qian Yufeng laughed, "Don't spoil it. If it doesn't listen, I'm cutting its rations for today!"

Upon hearing the threat to its food supply, the Dark Demon Evil God Cat immediately jumped out of Qian Lingxin's arms, landed on the ground, and trotted to Qian Yufeng's feet, rubbing affectionately against his pant leg.

It meant: Master, I am very obedient, please don't reduce my rations!

There was no helping it; the high-grade rations produced by the system were simply too good.

After eating them for so many days, the Dark Demon Evil God Cat discovered that its cultivation had improved.

Its original thirty-two-thousand-year cultivation had grown directly to thirty-four thousand years.

Qian Yufeng looked at it with a smile, "Then go and bring back the prey I mentioned, understand?!"

"Meow!" The Dark Demon Evil God Cat nodded, then took a running start and dashed quickly toward the mountain forest of Holy Soul Village.

Qian Yufeng withdrew his gaze and looked at the three women, "Now it is our turn to build the house. The materials Village Chief Jack prepared are enough for us to build a three-story pavilion."

"Master, if the materials are not enough, I can go collect some more; that won't be a problem," said Qian Lingsu. Her swordsmanship was very efficient for gathering suitable timber.

Qian Yufeng closed his eyes and began to visualize the exterior of the three-story pavilion in his mind.

He chose a simple, Chinese-style design and quickly conceptualized the layout.

"You three, watch closely. Fine control of soul power can ensure that you don't waste even a sliver of it during combat."

"Observe how I manipulate it; I will be conducting relevant training for you later!"

Qian Yufeng opened his eyes again and spoke to them with a serious tone.

As an Alchemy Grandmaster, his soul power control had naturally reached an extremely delicate realm.

Conducting this special training for them was also intended to strengthen their mental power, laying the groundwork for the soul core cultivation method.

In case the system's future mission rewards included the soul core cultivation method, their breakthrough to higher levels would be more stable.

A Yin was a soul beast incarnation with a very powerful bloodline talent; reaching the Title Douluo level would be as simple as eating and drinking for her, but reaching the ninety-ninth level would still require some effort.

Qian Yufeng adjusted his breathing, surveyed the stacked materials and the open space, then stretched out his hands and waved them rapidly, drilling the holes for the pillars—twelve key pillars in total.

His speed did not seem fast to Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu, but A Yin could sense the uniform and rapid fluctuations of soul power in the air.

All three women were shocked by this display and began to wonder to themselves: how much time would it take for them to learn this?

Old Jack had prepared twelve sturdy Anvil Wood logs. This wood had an excellent texture; as pillars for a house, they would not rot for at least fifty years, nor would they be susceptible to insects or ants.

Qian Yufeng used his soul power control again to grind the twelve Anvil Wood logs to the exact same diameter and length, inserting them one by one into the holes he had prepared.

After finishing, Qian Yufeng turned to them and said, "Don't think what I've done is simple; it is a great test of mental power. This is one of the reasons why I enjoyed meditation in the past."

"To reach a realm like mine, you will need to expend even greater effort. The process is arduous, but I believe you will complete this training perfectly!"

Qian Lingxin spoke up, "Family Head, our strength truly hasn't improved in a long time. The increase in soul power level only allows us to fight for longer durations during battle."

"Your meticulous operation might just help me improve my blade technique."

Qian Lingsu nodded with a solemn expression, her eyes filled with a yearning to grow stronger.

Qian Yufeng had not personally taught them like this for a long time; such a rare opportunity had to be studied with the utmost seriousness!

Although A Yin did not understand why he had included her, Qian Yufeng, who had cultivated a Title Douluo, was worth learning from.

"Elder Qian, I will study diligently and strive to complete the training tasks you have assigned."

Qian Yufeng nodded and said once more, "Next is the construction of the walls and flooring. Watch closely and do not let your minds wander."

With that, he began to move again, carving marks, drilling holes, and installing supports onto the twelve pillars...

The once-empty ground began to take on the shape of a three-story wooden house.

On the other side, the Dark Demon Evil God Cat arrived at the back mountain of Holy Soul Village and caught the scent of a very peculiar fragrance.

Driven by curiosity, it walked toward the source of the scent and arrived before a pool of water.

In the center of the pool, a cyan lotus flower was in bloom, yet a very dangerous aura emanated from beneath the surface.

One must know that its cultivation was already thirty-four thousand years; any existence capable of posing a threat to it had to be a soul beast of at least sixty thousand years.

"Meow, that lotus is definitely a treasure. I must go tell Master!"

Hehe, if I perform such a great service this time, Master should reward me with a bag of rations, right?!

Immediately, the Dark Demon Evil God Cat turned and darted away.

Little did it know, after it left, a pair of dragon horns emerged from the surface of the pool!
