Bibi Dong listened with a smile as Hu Liena recounted the benefits of the Soul Tool, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"No rush. We've only produced thirteen Level 1 Soul Tool so far, and five of them are already being sold. We should only begin researching Level 2 Soul Tool Level 1 Soul Tool we've thoroughly mastered the technology. We've only just taken a small step. Don't be overly ambitious."
"Yes, teacher, I was too excited. Thank you for your guidance. I will work harder to master the technique of making Soul Tool." Hu Liena quickly bowed to Bibi Dong to apologize and made a promise.
"I don't mean to blame you. You have a great talent for making Soul Tool. I just want you to build a solid foundation."
At this point, Bibi Dong paused, glancing at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's a pity we only have blueprints for Level 2 Soul Tool. Otherwise, with the resources and manpower of our Spirit Hall, we could have created even more powerful Soul Tool." Bibi Dong sighed, seemingly very regretful.
"Teacher, if I may be so bold as to ask, where did we get the Soul Tool blueprints we currently possess? The Core Array on them are extremely detailed, and the points to note and remedial measures are described very clearly, it's almost like a personal demonstration." Hu Liena couldn't help but ask. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she was just too curious. After all, the Spirit Hall didn't have the technology to make Soul Tool before, and this technology had disappeared for nearly ten thousand years. How did it suddenly appear in the Spirit Hall?
Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then slowly explained to Hu Liena, "Our Spirit Hall reached a deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they gifted us the blueprints. As for why we possess these technical blueprints, I think it's related to Jun Yi."
" Jun Yi? Isn't he just a child? How could he be involved?"
Hu Liena was somewhat puzzled. Her impression of Jun Yi was that of a highly talented young genius with exceptional combat skills and a rare spatial Soul Skill. However, she would never associate Jun Yi with the creation of Soul Tool, since the creation of Soul Tool required extremely strong creativity. Therefore, she was still somewhat shocked when she heard Bibi Dong say that the blueprints were given by Jun Yi.
"I received a message that Jun Yi is going to travel across the continent, and this is also our opportunity."
The next day, at dawn, Jun Yi stood at the gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, dressed in purple robes with a sword at his waist. Only Dugu Yan Jun Yi came to see him off. Jun Yi did not inform anyone of his departure immediately, choosing instead to travel discreetly. The only people he could trust now were Dugu Yan and her grandson, Dugu Bo. As for Ning Fengzhi, Jun Yi felt a bit more awe towards him, but his previous enthusiasm had faded.
Dugu Yan looked at the handsome man before her, bit her red lips, hesitated, and after a long while, finally said, "Are you really leaving? Staying is a good idea."
"No." Jun Yi shook his head and said, "Over the years, I've been confined to one place, like a prison. Now that I have enough ability, I hope to go out and see the world."
Jun Yi's eyes gleamed with determination. Over the years, he hadn't fared badly; every power seemed to be protecting him, even Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire valued him highly. He understood that all of this was because of his exceptional talent and promising future.
But in their eyes, Jun Yi was always a child, a pawn that could be used as a chess piece and manipulated at will.
This time, he wants to do his own thing honestly and openly. And unwilling to be controlled by others, he must show his own sharpness. He wants to become stronger, so strong that no one will dare to use him as a bargaining chip anymore.
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Remember to come back soon and be careful on your journey," Dugu Yan said softly. Her tone was full of concern, but deep in her eyes, a faint mist of tears welled up.
Looking at Dugu Yan, who was biting her lip with a conflicted expression, Jun Yi walked to her side and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't worry, I'll come back. After everything is over, I'll marry you."
Feeling Jun Yi's warm embrace, Dugu Yan felt a warmth in her heart, but she still gently patted his back a few times and stubbornly said, "You little pervert, who would want to marry you?"
Then she hugged Jun Yi and murmured, "You must come back safely. I... I'll wait for you..."
Jun Yi nodded, then released Dugu Yan, grinning mischievously, "She'll definitely return safely. I'd love to see Sister Yanyan in her professional attire."
After saying that, Jun Yi turned around, waved to Dugu Yan, and said, "I'm leaving."
Jun Yi took out a purple spider mask from the System Space, put it on, and walked into the distance.
Dugu Yan watched Jun Yi's departing figure and murmured softly, "You must return safely. When you do, if you wish to marry me, I will."
Meanwhile, after Jun Yi left, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family received Jun Yi's message at the same time.
Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Qinghe gazed at the farewell letter written by Jun Yi, a strange smile playing on her lips. " Jun Yi didn't even say goodbye to me before leaving Heaven Dou City. This isn't like him. Could it be that he sensed something?"
Upon hearing this, two Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows transmitted their voices and asked, "Miss, should I make a move?"
"No need, I'm just guessing. Maybe he just didn't want to face the pain of parting, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye. Besides, he wrote me a letter and apologized to me, so it shouldn't be," Xue Qinghe replied with a smile.
"He's easily blinded by emotions. I'm like that, and so is Ning Fengzhi. A few small favors and a little emotional investment are enough to make him give his heart. He's too naive. Besides, Jun Yi is still useful to our Spirit Hall. It's not too late to discard him once he's completely lost his value."
Having said that, a golden flame emerged from Xue Qinghe's palm, burning Jun Yi's letter to ashes. Gazing at the letter reduced to ash, Xue Qinghe returned to his original form.
Inside the Imperial Study of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, Ning Fengzhi, sitting in a chair, put down the letter in his hand, sighed, and said to Sword Douluo beside him, "It seems that Xiao Yi has already guessed the deal between me and the Spirit Hall."
"So what if he knows? What can a brat like him do?"
"But I don't know how to face him next time we meet, or how he will view our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ning Fengzhi folded the letter in half and threw it into the brazier, watching as the letter was gradually consumed by the flames...
