The moment the wooden door, still smelling of paint, opened, Lu Yu was nearly blinded by a burst of golden light.
Not gold as in the color, but gold as in Gold Soul Coins!
The building was crammed with soul guidance devices, the lowest of them Level 5, followed by Level 6 and Level 7. Lu Yu even spotted a Level 7 stamping machine he had long dreamed of. Once the shape was set, it could stamp the piece directly, saving all the time spent forging it by hand.
Shrek had no such casing-stamping machine. As Fan Yu put it, only hand-forged pieces had soul!
In truth, they simply had no money. Stamping machines suffered extremely heavy wear, and Shrek's Soul Tool Department could not bear to buy one.
Forget a Level 7 stamping machine-Fan Yu could not even get to use ordinary Level 7 soul guidance devices.
That was because soul guidance devices were harder to manufacture than ordinary soul tools.
The soul tools that trickled out of the Sun Moon Empire's black market topped out at Level 7, while soul guidance devices topped out at Level 6!
Level 8 soul tools and Level 7 soul guidance devices could only be seen at certain top-tier auctions when the occasional Soul Douluo turned traitor!
At Shrek Academy, these Level 7 soul guidance devices were normally reserved for slow research and reverse engineering. They were only put to use when Qian Duoduo made Level 8 soul tools. The entire Shrek Soul Tool Department had only seven such soul guidance devices! And not a single Level 8 one!
Wait, what's that? A Level 8 Soul Power Recovery Platform!
Lu Yu swept his gaze across the room, and one of the soul tools inside immediately caught his attention.
