Soul Tool Novice

The next morning.

Feng Xiaoyuan stood on a platform.

Below the stage sat the twelve direct disciples of the Feng Clan in neat rows.

A table had been placed in front of each disciple.

Many tools were laid out on every table.

These disciples were all around twenty years old.

Although their cultivation was not high, they were all people Feng Yan had carefully selected.

Loyal and reliable.

Feng Xiaoyuan coughed lightly.

Everyone below the stage immediately rose and cupped their fists respectfully.

"Greetings, Young Master."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Good."

"Sit."

After everyone sat down again, Feng Xiaoyuan slowly began to speak.

"Starting today, you will officially learn how to make soul guidance devices."

"But before making soul guidance devices."

"I will first explain the principles behind them to you."

As he spoke, Feng Xiaoyuan took out a Soul Guidance Telescope from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

Then Feng Xiaoyuan dismantled the Soul Guidance Telescope, revealing the Soul Guidance Array engraved inside.

Then Feng Xiaoyuan handed the dismantled Soul Guidance Telescope down.

"You may first take a look at this Soul Guidance Telescope."

"The array inside it is the core of a soul guidance device."

"Generally speaking, a true soul guidance device should have two parts."

"The first is the exterior, which is made through certain metals."

"The second is the interior, where some Soul Guidance Magic Arrays are engraved."

The twelve people below the stage listened seriously to Feng Xiaoyuan's explanation.

Not a single one of them was distracted.

Feng Xiaoyuan continued speaking.

"So if you want to become a Soul Guidance Crafter."

"The most important thing is not soul power, but spiritual power."

"Only sufficiently powerful spiritual power can precisely engrave a Soul Guidance Array."

"If even the slightest error appears, the entire soul guidance device will be completely ruined."

After saying this, Feng Xiaoyuan turned and engraved a basic Soul Guidance Array onto the stone slab behind him.

"Now, everyone close your eyes."

"Use your spiritual power to sense this Soul Guidance Array."

Everyone below the stage immediately did as instructed.

The entire classroom instantly fell silent.

Time passed second by second.

After about half an hour.

Feng Xiaoyuan spoke again.

"All right."

"You may open your eyes."

Hearing this, everyone below the stage opened their eyes one after another.

Some looked utterly lost, while others seemed thoughtful.

Feng Xiaoyuan asked calmly.

"Just now."

"Who among you sensed the flow of soul power inside this array?"

Hearing Feng Xiaoyuan's question, four people below the stage slowly raised their hands.

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"Starting today."

"The four of you will be responsible for learning how to carve Soul Guidance Arrays."

Then Feng Xiaoyuan looked at the other eight people.

"As for you."

"You'll be responsible for learning the external metal parts."

"That includes metal forging, making components, and the final assembly."

"In the future, a complete soul guidance device will require all of you to work together."

After the theory lesson ended, Feng Xiaoyuan began the practical lesson.

Feng Xiaoyuan picked up the Soul Guidance Telescope again and said slowly.

"The first soul guidance device we'll be learning to make today is the Soul Guidance Telescope."

As Feng Xiaoyuan took it apart, he explained the principles behind it.

Once the explanation was over, Feng Xiaoyuan waved his hand lightly.

"All right, start making it."

The eight disciples responsible for the external metal structure immediately got moving.

They began forging the metal.

On the other side, the four disciples responsible for carving the Soul Guidance Array.

Began attempting to carve the most basic array.

However, their first attempt quickly failed.

Their hands had shaken while carving the array.

Their proficiency was insufficient, and the carving failed.

They tried a few more times, slowly, but all of them failed.

When Feng Xiaoyuan saw this, he did not blame them. He only said calmly.

"Failure is completely normal."

"No one can succeed the first time they make a soul guidance device."

Everyone gathered their spirits and started over.

This time, Feng Xiaoyuan stood beside them.

Constantly pointing out where their problems lay.

An hour later.

The first Soul Guidance Telescope jointly completed by the twelve of them.

Was finally slowly assembled.

Feng Xiaoyuan took the Soul Guidance Telescope.

He tried using the Soul Guidance Telescope for a moment.

Although it could only see objects a dozen or so meters away.

It was still the first soul guidance device they had made with their own hands.

At that moment, excited smiles appeared on all their faces.

"We did it."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded and gave them some encouragement.

"Not bad."

"For a first attempt, making it like this is already very good."

After a short rest.

Feng Xiaoyuan took a Soul Guidance Camera out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"We'll begin making the second soul guidance device."

"The Soul Guidance Camera."

This time, Feng Xiaoyuan did not take the Soul Guidance Camera apart.

Instead, he let them dismantle it themselves and try to work backward through the production process.

Their first attempt failed.

Their second attempt failed.

They tried again and again.

At last, with a soft sound...

A sheet of white paper developed out of the Soul Guidance Camera they had made.

Although the image was still somewhat blurry...

The scenery could already be made out with some difficulty.

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good."

"Try it out more. Keep improving it, and it will become more and more complete."

Finally...

Feng Xiaoyuan slowly took a phone out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on the phone.

Feng Xiaoyuan said calmly, "This is a phone."

"At present, it is one of our Feng Clan's core Soul Guidance Devices."

"It's already very late today."

"I'll first show you its basic structure."

"Next time, you'll be the ones making it."

As he spoke, Feng Xiaoyuan slowly disassembled the phone.

He began introducing its internal structure.

The casing.

The Soul Guidance Array.

After Feng Xiaoyuan finished explaining, he assembled the phone again.

"You must remember everything I talked about today. These are all key points."

"If there's anything else you don't understand, ask me next time."

"It's getting late today, so head back for now."

The twelve people below the platform nodded at the same time.

"Understood."

Just as everyone was preparing to leave...

Feng Xiaoyuan suddenly spoke.

"Wait."

When the twelve heard him, they immediately stopped and stood properly again.

Feng Xiaoyuan took a book out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

A few large words were written on the cover of the book.

Basic Mental Power Cultivation Method.

Feng Xiaoyuan said slowly, "Mental power is crucial in the production of Soul Guidance Devices."

"Especially for those responsible for inscribing Soul Guidance Arrays."

"This Basic Mental Power Cultivation Method is something I organized. It will be of great help in improving mental power."

"From now on, the twelve of you must cultivate this Basic Mental Power Cultivation Method every day."

The twelve hurriedly accepted the book with both hands.

They said respectfully, "Thank you, Young Master."
