Level 2 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon, test passed perfectly!
Long Aoyu took the four finished products and walked toward the main hall.
Du Busi was sitting and drinking tea, with a new batch of intelligence that had just been sent back that day spread out beside him.
Seeing Long Aoyu push the door open and enter, his gaze swept over the items in Long Aoyu’s hands before he put down his teacup and raised an eyebrow.
“You made them?”
“I made them, Master.”
Long Aoyu was not only the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect, but also Du Busi’s direct disciple.
“How many times have I told you?
Use your official titles while working!”
Du Busi said with feigned seriousness.
Long Aoyu’s mouth twitched, but he cooperated with his master’s mischievous sense of humor.
“Yes, Sect Master.”
Subsequently, Long Aoyu placed the three items on the table one by one.
“Spirit Tool Ray Gun, Storage Spirit Tool, Detection Spirit Tool.”
“In addition, there is also a Level 2 Fixed-Installation Spirit Tool Cannon, which has already passed the test.”
Du Busi stood up and walked to the table, picking up the Spirit Tool Ray Gun and examining it for a moment.
After injecting a trace of Spirit Power to sense its internal structure, he slowly raised his eyebrows.
He picked up the Detection Spirit Tool to take a look, then put it down, and his gaze finally fell on the Storage Spirit Tool, turning it around a couple of times.
“Alright.”
Du Busi nodded.
“Liu Mo and the other seven will be exclusively responsible for Spirit Tool manufacturing from now on.
Every Spirit Tool manufactured will come with corresponding points, just like the point system of the Mission Hall.”
The Body Sect originally had an internal point system.
Disciples could earn points by completing Sect missions, achieving results in secret realm trials, or making outstanding contributions to the Sect, which could then be used to exchange for various cultivation resources.
Now that Spirit Tool manufacturing had been added, the contribution of the craftsmen would naturally have to be rewarded as well.
“Great, then I will thank the Sect Master on their behalf.”
Long Aoyu smiled and blinked.
“You brat.”
Du Busi reached out and pointed at him, then his expression turned serious again.
“The items have been made, but this isn’t your most urgent matter right now.”
“You are at level 50, and your fifth Spirit Ring is still nowhere in sight.”
Du Busi walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
“You are twelve years old this year, a Quasi Spirit King at level 50.
This is the golden period for your cultivation to surge forward.
Obtaining the fifth Spirit Ring should be done sooner rather than later.”
Long Aoyu fell silent for a moment, knowing in his heart that Du Busi was right.
System tasks were important, but the Spirit Ring was the real foundation of his combat strength.
Reaching level 50 without obtaining a fifth Spirit Ring meant that his cultivation could no longer continue advancing normally.
Long Aoyu nodded.
“Understood.”
“Pack up.
We will set out early tomorrow morning.” Du Busi turned around.
“We are going to the Star Dou Great Forest, and I will pick a suitable Spirit Beast for you.”
“You are going personally?”
“Mn.”
“Now that we have just arrived ten thousand years ago, the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest remains unknown.
How can this old man rest assured if I don’t go?”
“That’s true.”
Long Aoyu nodded.
Although he knew quite a bit about the situation of the Star Dou Great Forest in this era, it was difficult to explain how he knew those things without revealing his knowledge of the future.
In this era’s Star Dou Great Forest, Fierce Beasts like Di Tian and Xiong Jun, as well as many 100,000-year Soul Beasts, were not active in the outer regions.
The truly powerful existences were hidden deep within the core area, and ordinary Spirit Masters had almost no chance of encountering them.
“Sect Master, I suddenly remembered something.”
“What is it?”
Long Aoyu carefully considered his wording before saying, “There was a record in the Sect’s ancient texts stating that ten thousand years ago, the Shrek Seven Devils obtained several heavenly immortal products that greatly improved their cultivation and transformed their aptitudes.”
“Thinking about it now, since we are in this era, are those things still around?”
Du Busi was slightly startled, narrowing his eyes as he recalled the ancient records carefully.
Although he had read quite a few ancient texts in the Body Sect’s Scripture Pavilion, most of the records regarding that history ten thousand years ago were fragmentary.
However, with Long Aoyu putting it this way, he indeed remembered something.
In an obscure section of a certain ancient book of the Sect, there was a sentence mentioning that “The Shrek Seven Devils encountered immortal products and underwent a complete transformation.”
Immortal products!
Which meant the Immortal Herbs.
At this point in time, they were very likely not yet taken away by anyone.
Du Busi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“It’s still you, brat, who has a good memory!
Tang San is still unknown nowadays, and the Shrek Seven Devils don’t even have a shadow yet.
Those Immortal Herbs are most likely still there!”
Du Busi paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
The more he pondered, the more he felt this matter had tremendous potential.
“If we can get a few Immortal Herbs and have you, Aotian, Wei Na, and other disciples consume them, both talent and cultivation will make a giant leap forward.”
“No, such heaven-defying treasures must fall into the hands of our Body Sect!”
Du Busi only had one thought in his mind right now.
To intercept them.
The Immortal Herbs must be intercepted!
Seeing this, Long Aoyu also relaxed.
That was all he could say.
If he directly pointed out that the Immortal Herbs were in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within the Sunset Forest, it would be impossible to explain how he knew the exact location.
Moreover, there was still time before Tang San and the others would obtain and consume the Immortal Herbs, so there was plenty of time to search for them first.
Half an hour later, the overwhelming majority of the people within the Sect were sent out by Du Busi to search for the Immortal Herbs, leaving only Liu Mo and the other Spirit Tool craftsmen along with an Elder to guard the Sect’s settlement.
The remaining disciples and Elders split up and headed toward the major forests within the territories of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, carefully searching for any unusual locations, ancient ruins, rare herbs, or traces of powerful Soul Beasts.
Not a single possible place was let go.
Du Busi gave a strict order: the location of the Immortal Herbs must be found!
…
The next day, Long Aoyu and Du Busi also left the Sect, heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
The two of them swept out of the canyon and headed south all the way.
In half a day’s time, an endless expanse of dark green forest appeared on the horizon ahead, with enormous tree crowns blocking the sky and sun.
Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest from ten thousand years ago.
Long Aoyu stood at the edge of the forest and took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
The legendary largest Soul Beast settlement on the continent was right before him, and the thought that many opportunities from the future might still be hidden within its depths made his heart beat faster.
However, Du Busi frowned as soon as he entered the forest.
He stepped forward for a distance, stopped, listened carefully, and spread his perception through the surrounding environment.
His frown gradually deepened.
“That’s not right.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The aura of 100,000-year Soul Beasts is almost nonexistent, and the number of 10,000-year Soul Beasts is also far less than expected.” Du Busi gazed toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest with a solemn expression.
“Where are Fierce Beasts like Di Tian and Xiong Jun?
Where are those 100,000-year Soul Beasts, as well as their clans?
There are only the auras of two 100,000-year Soul Beasts in the direction of the core area.
Far too few!”
Du Busi completely could not figure it out.
Fierce Beasts like Di Tian and Xiong Jun had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and according to the knowledge preserved by the Body Sect, they should have long occupied the deepest regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yet right now, the auras of these powerful beings could not be perceived at all.
The number of 100,000-year Soul Beasts was also pitifully small.
Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest of later generations, where powerful Soul Beasts could be found throughout the deeper regions, this place simply felt like an entirely different forest.
Seeing this, Long Aoyu did not say anything.
He knew very well that right now, Fierce Beasts like Di Tian and their clans were hidden within the small world beneath the Lake of Life.
They had not completely revealed themselves to the outside world, which was why even Du Busi could not detect their existence through ordinary perception.
Du Busi shook his head, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and turned to look at Long Aoyu.
“It’s too bizarre.
Be careful from now on.”
“Alright!”
Long Aoyu followed behind Du Busi, delving deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The surrounding vegetation became denser as they advanced, and the number of Soul Beasts gradually increased, but neither of them relaxed their vigilance.
Du Busi walked and spoke, “Your Spirit Ring configuration is yellow, purple, black, black, and your third Spirit Ring was already 10,000 years old, which is much stronger than what this master had back then.”
“In this master’s view, absorbing a 60,000-year Spirit Ring for your fifth Spirit Ring should be no problem!”
“After returning to perform the secondary awakening of your Martial Soul, your baseline should be Silver rank, further enhancing your physical body and Martial Soul.
When you reach level 60, you can even challenge a 100,000-year Spirit Ring.”
Body Martial Soul.
The larger the portion of the body covered by the Martial Soul and the more important the origin of that portion, the higher the innate grade of the Martial Soul would be.
Long Aoyu’s and Du Busi’s Martial Souls were both ceiling-level full-body Body Martial Souls, and Long Aoyu’s was even a pure physical enhancement type.
This was what had created Long Aoyu’s exaggerated Spirit Ring configuration and allowed his physical body to withstand Spirit Rings far beyond what ordinary Spirit Masters could absorb.
The two continued to delve deeper.
After walking for about an hour, Du Busi suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised his hand to signal Long Aoyu to halt.
“Strange…”
Du Busi’s expression became solemn as he stared toward the dense forest ahead.
He carefully sensed the unusual aura that was slowly approaching them.
“This is the first time this old man has seen such a Soul Beast.
That aura ahead is just like…”
He paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing.
“…an Evil Spirit Master among Soul Beasts!”
