Having acquired a Level 9 Soul Tool, Toji left Xu Tianran's bedroom with great satisfaction.
The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, Toji saw the Illustrious Virtue Hall, Jing Hongchen, standing personally at the palace gate, waiting for someone, no one knew.
Out of curiosity, Toji paused slightly, then quickly walked over.
"Master, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Toji appear here, Jing Hongchen wasn't too surprised, after all, he was Xu Tianran's man.
He took out a shimmering storage ring from his pocket, gently handed it to Toji, and said:
"Here is a Level 9 Soul Tool spear that I personally crafted, which perfectly meets your requirements."
Toji took the storage ring, and his Bloodline Power instantly surged into it. When he saw the Level 9 Soul Tool spear inside, his pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Thank you, Master. This reward is indeed generous."
"It's just a pity that I have a lot of things to do right now, and I might have to go on a long trip, so I won't be able to teach your granddaughter and grandchildren."
Jing Hongchen smiled slightly, a hint of meaning in his smile, "Young friend, there's no need to say more. I am aware of the situation. After all, such a major event has occurred, it's quite normal for His Highness the Crown Prince to entrust this matter to you."
"Thank you for your understanding, Hall Master." Toji chuckled and put the storage ring back. "There's no time to lose, I must go now. I'll be back after I've finished my business, and I hope you'll take good care of me then."
"Haha, definitely, definitely."
After bidding farewell to Jing Hongchen, Toji rushed to the place where he was to meet Di Qiu'er.
"You're two and a half minutes late." Di Qiu'er stared at him. "You've accomplished such a great task, and the Crown Prince didn't invite you to stay for dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Toji suddenly pulled out a dark silver storage ring from his pocket and casually tossed it to Di Qiu'er.
"Take it."
Di Qiu'er caught it instinctively, and the cold metallic touch made her slightly startled.
She glanced at Toji suspiciously, then probed her Soul Power into the ring.
Buzz!
A long, golden spear floated silently within the storage space.
A Level 9 Soul Tool, spear-type!
Di Qiu'er's pupils contracted slightly. The forging craftsmanship of this spear was clearly from the Illustrious Virtue Hall, and its appearance was also similar to the Golden Dragon Spear!
"You..." Her voice was a fraction lower than usual, "When did you prepare this? This gun... it's almost the same as the Golden Dragon Spear?"
Toji Erdao:
"I commissioned Jing Hongchen to forge it, and it does indeed contain the Golden Dragon Bloodline. Although it cannot compare to the true divine weapon, the Golden Dragon Spear, it should be considered the best among Level 9 Soul Tool spears."
"It just so happens that my Qi and Blood have merged with yours, giving me the Golden Dragon Bloodline, so it was Jing Hongchen who asked me to collect that blood."
Di Qiu'er took out the spear and stroked it with her fingertips.
That bastard makes it sound so easy, but putting it into practice is never that simple.
"And what about your Level 9 Soul Tool?"
Di Qiu'er asked softly.
"I'm not in a rush. Improving your overall combat strength first is a good idea," Toji said.
The next second, the wind suddenly became fierce, Di Qiu'er quickly put the Level 9 Soul Tool into her Storage Soul Tool.
"... Thanks."
Toji then took out another storage ring and handed it to her:
"Don't thank me yet, there's more."
Di Qiu'er took it with a somewhat dazed and innocent look, and saw that it was another Level 9 Soul Tool, and a defensive one at that.
alright.
One for offense, one for defense, that's it.
"You..."
Di Qiu'er felt a warmth in her heart.
Is this what it feels like to be cared for?
Although Di Tian also cared for him, this feeling was clearly different from what he felt for Di Tian.
"You gave me all the Level 9 Soul Tool, what about yours?" Di Qiu'er asked.
"I don't need it at this stage. Don't forget, your physical strength is still inferior to mine, so you need Level 9 Soul Tool even more," Toji explained. "Besides, even if I were to use it, with my current cultivation level, it would be very difficult for me to use Level 9 Soul Tool."
"... Thanks."
This was the second time Di Qiu'er had said thank you on the same day.
This is extremely rare.
Toji laughed heartily, hands on his hips. "Haha, no need to thank me. If you're touched, then you can repay me with your body."
"Get out!" The feeling of gratitude and warmth that had just appeared in Di Qiu'er's heart vanished instantly. She raised her foot to kick his knee, but stopped before it touched him.
"Now that you're level 60, hurry up and head to the Far North; it's your most important opportunity for advancement."
After saying that, Di Qiu'er quickly turned and left, her ear tips, hidden under her hair, slightly reddening.
Toji looked at Di Qiu'er's beautiful figure, and a wicked smile slowly rose on his lips.
"Alright, alright, let's set off now. You lead the way."
The biting wind cut through the sky like a knife. On the snow-covered plains of the Far North, two figures were struggling forward against the blizzard.
Di Qiu'er wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, her golden hair already covered in ice crystals, and the white breath she exhaled condensed into tiny frost flowers on her eyelashes.
Her lips were blue from the cold, her fingertips trembled slightly, but the Eye of Destiny on her forehead remained stubbornly open, guiding the two of them deeper into the Far North.
Instead, Toji, wearing short sleeves, walked behind Di Qiu'er. He looked at Di Qiu'er, who was huddled up in front of him, and grinned.
"You can't even handle this?"
"Shut up..." Di Qiu'er gritted her teeth, "Do you think everyone is like you, you monster!"
We're now in the deepest part of the Far North.
In other words, they are very likely to encounter the three Heavenly Kings-level Soul Beast of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North at any time here.
Even with her powerful physique, Di Qiu'er could only barely withstand such extremely low temperatures.
Unlike Toji, who was wearing short sleeves and shorts in this kind of environment!
And I didn't feel cold at all.
"Use your Ultimate Fire ability now, I can't stand it anymore," Toji said hurriedly. "I told you to come to me for warmth, but you wouldn't. You just had to show off. You clearly have the attribute of Ultimate Fire, but you refuse to use it. Heh, you're just playing around."
"Your three extreme attributes are just for show."
Hearing Toji's continuous complaints, Di Qiu'er snorted coldly:
"If you don't do it this way, how can you cultivate your Qi and Blood techniques?"
"My physical body is inherently inferior to yours, so I naturally have to work harder to cultivate. Besides, using my three Ultimate Attribute means using my physical power, which would easily reveal that I am the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
"If there are people from the Clear Sky Sect here, that would be terrible luck."
"Not bad, you've grasped the essence of my teachings; you're quite cautious now." Toji Er chuckled.
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," Di Qiu'er said abruptly.
Toji's eyes lit up. "You mean...?"
Di Qiu'er added an explanation:
"You're a bad person who's always lusting after my body."
"..."
The wind and snow howled, and their bickering came to an abrupt halt.
Because they both sensed the powerful Soul Power fluctuations emanating from a distant Soul Grandmaster!
