He made seven or eight in one go, planning to send two each to Little Qian Renxue and Young Bibi Dong.

After making so many Soul Tools, the Soul-Guide Furnace had run out of durability. He would have to wait two days for it to recover before he could make a Soul-Guide Car.

After all, it was only a Level-Two Soul Guidance Furnace.

The fact that it could make Level 3 Soul Tools was already incredible.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @Spirit Hall Saintess @Love-Starved Little Angel, I'm sending you two Soul Tools to play with.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: What kind of Soul Tools? What do they do?]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Are they fun? Are they cute?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: The first is a Soul-Guide Bee for reconnaissance. The stronger your mental power, the farther it can scout. Try it and you'll see.]

Young Bibi Dong received the big-headed Soul-Guide Bee that had been sent across time and space.

She had seen ugly bees before, but never one this ugly—or this adorably dopey.

She was speechless. A Leaf Knows Autumn's drawing skills really were terrible.

Following his instructions, she used her mental power to send the bee flying into the distance. She could actually see what it saw.

How amazing.

His skill at making Soul Tools really was remarkable.

His drawing skills might have been poor, but his craftsmanship was beyond imagination. She could only marvel at it.

"Saintess, what's that big, ugly bee?"

Elder Lion asked curiously.

"It's a reconnaissance Soul Tool. It can scout within a range of nine hundred meters."

Young Bibi Dong spoke casually as she put away the bee and picked up the sword hilt to examine it.

"That far? That rivals the Soul Power field perception of a Titled Douluo!"

Elder Lion's eyes widened. "Who made it? Such superb craftsmanship! He's a master craftsman."

"It does need to be controlled with mental power. Mine is stronger than an ordinary Soul King's, so its range is greater!"

Young Bibi Dong added, "A good friend made it!"

"With such an amazing method, if he could make hundreds or thousands of them, then... the scouting range..."

Elder Lion drew a sharp breath at the thought.

"That's impossible. Even if he had the rare metals it requires, he couldn't make many!"

Young Bibi Dong shook her head. Making them took time.

Then, following A Leaf Knows Autumn's instructions, she poured Soul Power into the Laser Sword.

Zap! A dark-red laser shot out, nearly stabbing Elder Lion in the backside.

Fortunately, he was standing off to one side rather than directly ahead, and Young Bibi Dong shifted the sword away in time.

"Uh... that sword hilt shoots light?!"

Elder Lion flashed over to Young Bibi Dong and stared at the Laser Sword, his lionlike eyes wide.

Young Bibi Dong felt embarrassed and guilty. "Elder, I nearly hit you just now..."

"It's fine. You know who I am. How could I possibly—"

Just then, the wind blew his severed cape to the ground in front of him.

"Uh... that light cut off my cape? At that speed..."

Elder Lion hadn't expected his words to come back and slap him in the face so quickly.

"Hehe... It's called a Laser Sword. It's a Level 3 Soul Tool."

Young Bibi Dong explained that pouring Soul Power into the Laser Sword produced a dark-red beam that could extend up to twenty meters.

"I see. This thing's excellent! You could catch an enemy off guard and run them through!"

Elder Lion stared at the wondrous Laser Sword with curiosity.

"Don't tell me that good friend of yours made this too? But you hardly ever leave Spirit Hall. How did you make such an extraordinary friend? His skills truly are remarkable! I've wanted to tinker with Soul Tools since I was little, but I never had anyone to teach me..."

"That is a shame. I could ask whether my friend would be willing to take you as his disciple..."

Young Bibi Dong looked at Elder Lion as she spoke.

"That would be wonderful!"

Elder Lion was thrilled.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: @A Leaf Knows Autumn, Elder Lion turns out to be a Soul Tool enthusiast. He said he wanted to learn to make them since he was little, but no one taught him, so... he gave up halfway.]

[He just saw the Soul-Guide Bee and Laser Sword you made.]

[He was awestruck. And when in doubt, he...]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: ???]

[When in doubt, ask an immortal to teach him?]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: What on earth? When in doubt, ask to become his disciple!]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Like hell I'm taking a disciple. I'm not even in your time and space. Do you expect me to project myself into your world to teach him...]

In truth, Li Qiu didn't know anything about forging Soul Tools.

He just had a Soul-Guide Furnace.

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Brother Qiu could take a disciple across time and space!]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Little Angel, I'm not taking disciples. Keep this up and I'll have to use the Great Heavenly Creation Palm!]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: ?? Those five words, "Great Heavenly Creation Palm," sound really powerful. I'm a little scared. I'd better keep quiet.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: All right. I'll find a chance to turn him down another day.]

Little Qian Renxue was also examining the reconnaissance bee and the Laser Sword.

These two things really were amazing. Brother Qiu truly was a master craftsman.

He was clever with his hands. His drawing skills were a little lacking, but the bee's scouting ability was incredible.

And when she poured Soul Power into the Laser Sword, red light shot from its hilt and pierced straight through several walls in front of her.

If she held it backward, wouldn't she shoot herself dead?

And the beam traveled at the speed of light.

It was terrifying.

She loved it. She could even lengthen or shorten the Laser Sword's blade with a thought.

That was the most amazing part.

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Brother Qiu's Soul Tool forging skills are simply divine. Scary good! I love both of them.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: @Love-Starved Little Angel, you really do have a sweet tongue. I love them too.]

Their praise made Li Qiu feel as if he were floating. All he had done was send them two Soul Tools made from the rare metals they had given him.

Yet they kept praising him, and even Elder Lion wanted to become his disciple.

If he actually knew how Soul Tools worked, he wouldn't mind taking Elder Lion as a disciple.

Unfortunately, he made them with the help of a device. He didn't need to know any of the principles behind them.

Still, it felt great.

In Little Qian Renxue's eyes, he had grown several stories taller.

Young Bibi Dong's opinion of him had risen considerably too.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Now you know how good your group leader is, right? @Spirit Hall Saintess, hurry up and call me Daddy.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: @A Leaf Knows Autumn, Brother Qiu, why do you want my little mom to call you Daddy? Wouldn't I have to call you Grandpa then?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: You can call me Daddy too. "Daddy" means someone strong and dependable.]

[Love-Starved Little Angel: Oh. Daddy!]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: @Love-Starved Little Angel, don't call him that! Or I'll give you a Great Heavenly Creation Palm!]

But by the time Young Bibi Dong sent her message, Little Qian Renxue's had already gone through.

Young Bibi Dong was speechless.

A Leaf Knows Autumn was shameless enough to trick an adorable six-year-old!

He had no decency at all!

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: @Spirit Hall Saintess, you're better at using that joke than I am. Good night, you two lovely ladies.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: ...There you go acting up again. I really ought to teach you a lesson. Good night.]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Boohoo, I'm so scared. How does the Saintess plan to teach me a lesson?]

But Young Bibi Dong ignored Li Qiu.
