Inherited Soul Spirit—Blue Silver Emperor
"Wow, so this is the Spirit Pagoda?"
Tang Wulin looked at the building before him, amazement filling his heart.
He could see this towering Spirit Pagoda from very far away. It rose over a hundred floors, more than four hundred meters tall. Even in Eastsea City, where high-rises stood everywhere, it remained a striking landmark.
Whether viewed from afar or looked up at from nearby, this Spirit Pagoda radiated an awe-inspiring presence, becoming a unique sight on Eastsea City's skyline.
He had gone to the Blacksmith Association yesterday. Though it had also been very large, the Blacksmith Association was nowhere near as majestic as this building. The difference between the two was huge. (Mu Chen: ...)
At that moment, Tang Wulin gained some understanding of what a so-called great power was. He gathered his thoughts, stepped into the Spirit Pagoda, and curiously looked around.
"Little brother, is there something you need?" the sweet-looking girl behind the first-floor counter asked with a smile when she saw Tang Wulin come in.
"Um, my name is Tang Wulin. I'm here to collect my subsidy." Tang Wulin somewhat shyly took out his Storage Bracelet and placed it on the counter. "May I ask how much I can collect each month?"
Although Tang Wulin had not clashed with Xie Xie because of the bracelet, gains came with losses. Since Xie Xie did not fight him, there was no one to pay compensation for public property on his behalf, and Tang Wulin himself did not want to owe it for too long, so he had come to collect his subsidy.
While he was at it, he also wanted to see how big the Spirit Pagoda was.
The girl glanced at the bracelet but did not reach out to touch it. After all, Tang Wulin had looked very nervous when he took it out, as if afraid the bracelet might be taken away.
Looks like he really treasures it.
As she thought this, she smiled and said, "Please place the bracelet in the groove on the counter first."
Tang Wulin shifted his gaze when he heard her, and sure enough, he saw a groove on the counter. He immediately did as told.
The instant the bracelet fit perfectly into the groove, a Soul Guidance Screen appeared before the girl's eyes.
It displayed Tang Wulin's basic information, recorded by the Aolai City Spirit Pagoda just a week ago.
The girl looked over the various information inside, gradually getting a sense of things.
Because of his angle and height, Tang Wulin did not see it. He only marveled at how amazing this Soul Guidance Screen was, suddenly popping out like that.
"Little brother Tang Wulin, do you have any specialties? For example, a Side Profession?" After reading Tang Wulin's information, the girl asked with a smile, "If you have a Side Profession bonus, you can receive more subsidy."
"A Side Profession?"
Tang Wulin froze, then his eyes instantly lit up. "Does blacksmithing count?"
"Of course it does." The girl nodded.
"I just became a Level Two Blacksmith yesterday!" Tang Wulin said happily.
"!!!"
The girl's pupils widened.
Wow, a golden legend!
Nine years old, a Level Two Blacksmith—he had already surpassed the Forging Association's previous record!
Her eyes brightened. After Tang Wulin showed his Level Two Blacksmith Badge, she helped him transfer thirty thousand Federation coins at the fastest speed, leaving Tang Wulin instantly dizzy.
A single month's subsidy was almost half the price of a Ten Year Soul Spirit! And he did not even need to do anything extra. He only had to check in at the Spirit Pagoda. It was even easier money than forging...
Thinking of this, Tang Wulin said a little nervously, "Isn't this too much?"
"It's not too much, little brother Wulin. If you join the Spirit Pagoda, the subsidy will be even higher."
The girl smiled softly and introduced Tang Wulin to quite a few benefits of joining the Spirit Pagoda. Then she sent the still-dazed Tang Wulin out of the Spirit Pagoda.
After that, she returned to the counter and instantly entered work mode. Looking at the Soul Guidance Screen that was still there, she entered a line of text into it.
Tang Wulin, advanced to Level Two Blacksmith at only nine years old. Currently friendly toward the Spirit Pagoda and extremely cherishes the Spirit Pagoda soul guidance bracelet. Recommend continued investment and drawing him into the Forging Department for cultivation...
After typing this much, the girl thought it over and confirmed there were no overly subjective opinions before fully entering the information.
After so many years, when it came to recruiting civilian geniuses into the Spirit Pagoda, they had long since developed their own internal set of methods.
The Spirit Pagoda had plenty of tricks up its sleeve!
The idle Carefree Douluo was browsing information on the Spirit Pagoda Internal Network when he saw the newly uploaded information on Tang Wulin and raised an eyebrow.
"A Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power at rank three, and a Level Two Blacksmith?"
Any member who understood the history of the Spirit Pagoda's development would not look down on someone simply because of their Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power. Naturally, he would not either.
After all, among the first generation members of the Spirit Pagoda, there had been one expert whose Innate Soul Power was only rank three, yet who ultimately became a Super Douluo.
And over the past ten thousand years, among those who defied fate and became pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, there had also been some similar examples.
If he discriminated against others because of their Martial Soul, would that not also be disrespect toward those predecessors?
Furthermore, Hua Yichen also had some understanding of thousand refinements. For a nine-year-old child to complete thousand refinements, his strength was absolutely extraordinary. This child himself was already anything but ordinary...
"Forget it. Why think so much about it now? If he's willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, then even if his cultivation really drags down his forging talent, I can still apply for a Bluesilver Grass soul spirit for him to improve his talent."
Thinking of some research projects at headquarters, Hua Yichen signed his own name on Tang Wulin's information and instructed those below to pay special attention to him.
Ten thousand years ago, the First Generation Tower Master found a hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor in the Sun Moon Empire. Because it could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation, it turned into a soul spirit and was now one of the Spirit Pagoda's foundations.
With the advent of Artificial Soul Spirit Technology, some researchers had whimsically set their sights on Bluesilver Grass soul spirits. And with the Blue Silver Emperor's help, they had already achieved results.
An owner of the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul from Eastsea Academy's Advanced Department was sent to headquarters by Hua Yichen after signing the agreement, where he received the research results.
That student had pretty good luck—his martial soul innately carried a trace of the Blue Silver King Bloodline.
And those soul spirits all carried a trace of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. According to the researchers, once the soul spirit evolved to ten-thousand-year level, that student's martial soul would become a true Blue Silver King Martial Soul through the contract's feedback!
Tang Wulin might not be that lucky, but improving the origin of his martial soul was still possible.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he was willing to join the Spirit Pagoda.
"Looks like Wulin's doing pretty well."
Watching Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena leave, Tang Ziran said with feeling, "The difference between a ten-year soul spirit and a Hundred Year Soul Spirit really is like heaven and earth."
They had just joined the Mecha Master Association. Earlier, when they saw Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena wearing Eastsea Academy uniforms, they struck up a conversation with them. They hadn't expected to actually hear news about Wulin.
Lang Yue smiled. "That's right. According to Teacher Mang Tian, Wulin's Bluesilver Grass is extremely tough. Maybe it's because of that Hundred Year Soul Spirit. (It was actually because of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.) And now he's entered Class Two because of it. That's wonderful."
"As long as he works hard, things will only get better from here." Tang Ziran smiled and turned toward his own workbench. "I've already picked out a place. First, we'll earn enough money to buy back our home in Eastsea, then we'll tell Wulin."
Lang Yue nodded gently. "Mm!"
Elsewhere, Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, utterly puzzled. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Huo Yuhao, but she didn't voice the doubts in her heart.
She felt as if she had gotten used to obtaining information about gods from him. That kind of habit was not good.
"They are indeed ordinary people." But to Gu Yuena's surprise, Huo Yuhao had already seen through her confusion. "There's no need to overthink it."
"..."
Gu Yuena pressed her lips together.
Am I that easy to read?
Huo Yuhao explained briefly, then turned his gaze to the Soul Guidance Screen in his hand. It was something like a thin crystal sheet, somewhat similar to a phone, yet also different.
Looking at Tang Wulin's information, which had been specially highlighted on the internal network, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
