Soul Array
Jiliang returned to the living room and said apologetically, "I'm truly sorry. I was delayed by some matters. Is there anything you need among these basic soul tools?"
Xia Fei nodded and casually pointed at the six basic soul tools. "I'll take all six. Please give me a price."
Aside from a rare white pine stone, the other items were of poor quality. There was not even one that could be used to forge a soul weapon.
Fortunately, Xia Fei did not want these things to forge a soul weapon but to set up a soul array, so it was not unacceptable even if they were of poor quality.
Jiliang smiled. "Sir, you're already giving us a lot of face by coming to our Treasures Pavilion to take care of business. How about this? We'll give you a thirty percent discount on everything you've chosen, so you'll only need seventy thousand pearls. In addition, we'll give you a gold card that allows you to travel across the universe. No matter which planet you go to, you can buy or sell anything, and you'll get a considerable discount."
Xia Fei nodded. "Then I'll gladly accept."
Jiliang carefully sized up Xia Fei and realized that his composure was not an act. He secretly acknowledged Xia Fei's identity.
No matter where it was, a spirit-master was someone no one dared to offend, and Treasures Pavilion was no exception. The so-called discount and respect were all for the sake of the spirit-master.
After having someone wrap up Xia Fei's items and Xia Fei paid the bill, Jiliang gave Xia Fei a gold card and a white name card with the words' Treasures Pavilion, Bao Xiu Zhu 'written on it. The handwriting was elegant, and there was a faint fragrance to it.
Jiliang said, "This is a photo of our young mistress. If sir has any important matters, you can personally contact our young mistress."
Xia Fei shrugged. Giving a woman's name card before leaving? Xia Fei could not figure out what they were up to.
Xia Fei could not say anything in front of Jiliang, so he stepped out of Treasures Pavilion, casually tossed the name card at the corner, and left.
The moment Xia Fei left, someone picked up the name card of Bao Xiu Zhu, frowned, and continued to follow Xia Fei.
…
The Aurora Race's courtyard.
Xia Fei returned to his room and closed the door. He took out the six gadgets he had bought today from his ring and slowly nurtured them with his spiritual energy.
"Are you going to make a Soul Artifact?"
Xia Fei nonchalantly said, "It's not really a soul tool. It's just a little trick to set up a soul array for fun."
Though Xia Fei made it sound easy, Radix knew how powerful the Soul Array was.
A Spirit Master was different from a Soul Master. As long as they wanted to, they could kill without leaving a trace. However, a Soul Array was a powerful array that could take someone's life without needing to personally make a move. Once it was activated, the soul of the person within the array would probably scatter!
Radix appeared to be very excited and loudly said: "I knew you would definitely make a move! Let's use the Soul Array and kill all these ruffians in one go! "
After he finished speaking, Yuan suddenly paused, and said doubtfully, "You used the soul array to kill people. If that's the case, then wouldn't Jing Xiao, who is in charge of managing the courtyard, as well as those innocent staff members, be buried with them? That's not good, right? "
Xia Fei chuckled. "You're thinking too highly of the Soul Array. I just started preparing today, and I'm already able to set up the Soul Killer Array tonight? Wouldn't I be an immortal then? Even if I have the ability, you should have seen what kind of basic soul tools I bought today. They won't be able to withstand the strength of the Soul Killer Array at all.
"To be honest, I didn't plan on killing them. I have other uses for keeping them alive. These four exotic beast skeletons will be used to set up the array, the purple gold jar will be the eye of the array, and the pine carrot stone will be used to protect Jing Xiao and the others …"
Halfway through, Xia Fei patted his head and laughed. "Why am I telling you all this? It's not like you understand. Forget it. Just wait and see. Very soon, I'll let you see a good show."
…
Treasure Sky Pavilion, Bao Xiuzhu's residence.
Miss Bao was still hugging that cat of hers, and there was a man standing across from her. It was none other than the person who had been sent to follow Xia Fei during the day.
"He threw my name card away the moment he left?" Bao Xiuzhu asked somewhat angrily.
As a member of Treasure Sky Pavilion's Bao family, Miss Bao Xiuzhu's name card was not something just anyone could give. If Xia Fei were to bring this name card to a branch of Treasure Sky Pavilion, he would definitely be treated as a VIP, but unfortunately, Xia Fei did not seem to care about this Bao Xiuzhu.
"After that?" Bao Xiuzhu sternly asked.
"After that, he went to the Aurora Race's villa and hasn't come out since. I sent someone to investigate, and this Xia Fei only moved in this morning. He seems to be a relative of someone in the Aurora Race."
Bao Xiuzhu slightly frowned and muttered to herself, "Impossible. The Aurora Race's villa is filled with scoundrels sent by the Leng family. A real relative would never go and live there. What happened after that?
"After that, I sensed a faint spiritual energy fluctuation from the villa. I was afraid that it would make that spirit-master unhappy, so I quickly withdrew everyone."
* Shing ~ *
Bao Xiuzhu's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but she forced herself to remain calm. "You did very well. Nothing that has to do with a spirit-master is a small matter. Alright, tell your people to rest. Without my orders, no one is to take even half a step into the Aurora Race's villa."
"Yes."
That person hurriedly took his leave, leaving behind Bao Xiuzhu, Ji Liang, and that lazy cat.
"Young lady, this is an opportunity!" Ji Liang's eyes darted around as he sternly said, "We're about to confirm the chairman's assistant. If you can find a spirit-master to help you, you'll definitely be able to make our branch flourish. When that time comes, no one will be able to suppress you.
"Everyone knows that the chairman is clearly looking for an assistant, but he actually wants the young ladies and young masters of the family to display their abilities in preparation for taking over Treasures Celestial Store in the future. From what I know, those brothers and sisters of yours have been rolling up their sleeves in secret for a long time, each making a bigger move than the last, but the branch of Garde 83 that you're in charge of is too low-key. I'm afraid that you won't leave a deep impression on the board of directors, so …"
Bao Xiuzhu smiled. "I'm not making a move because there isn't a suitable opportunity. Our Bao family has been running Treasures Celestial Store for countless years, and what the family lacks is never money. No matter how much money I earn for the family, the family won't treat me differently. If I want to win, I need more favorable conditions."
Ji Liang was stunned. It was hard for him to believe that this lady Bao Xiuzhu actually said this. That's right. The Treasures Celestial Store had a big business and never lacked money! If Bao Xiuzhu wanted to stand out from the successors of the family, she had to do something that had nothing to do with money but couldn't be done with money!
"Young Lady Xiuzhu's future is limitless. It seems that my choice to follow this master back then was a good decision," Ji Liang muttered to himself.
The Bao family had been doing business for generations. In order to maintain the competitiveness of the family, they would change the chairman every 20 years. Now was the year when the Bao family was about to change. According to the rules, dozens of young masters and young ladies who had the qualifications to inherit Treasures Celestial Store would be sent to various branches to display their talents for a year.
Bao Xiuzhu had drawn the Garde 83 planet where the Aurora Clan was located. This was a kind of fortune, but also a kind of misfortune.
It was fortunate because the Garde 83 was more prosperous and had a good economic situation. It was unfortunate because this planet was controlled by the Xiao family, the Leng family, and the Ping family. The situation was too stable!
Everyone knew that it was better to make money in a chaotic world. The Garde 83 planet was like a pool of stagnant water under the restraint of the three families. It was so quiet that it was a complete mess, and there weren't any extraordinary people. It was worse than those people who had been assigned to remote planets. At least there would be opportunities to come into contact with illegal businesses. Although it was more dangerous, there were more opportunities than here.
Bao Xiuzhu was rather excited when she heard that there was a conflict between the Leng family and the Aurora Clan's Xiao family. If the Garde 83 planet fell into chaos because of this, her opportunity would come.
The three families had rich foundations. It was Bao Xiuzhu's merit that she was able to get the soul tools in their hands.
The three families were all from the Soul Hunter faction. If any family was defeated, they could make use of their desire for revenge and recruit their high-level warriors into the Bao family. This would increase the family's combat power, and it would be a great merit.
In short, as long as the planet fell into chaos, Bao Xiuzhu would have a lot of opportunities. Unfortunately, a year was about to pass, and the Aurora Clan had yet to retaliate, which made Bao Xiuzhu very anxious.
It was at this time that Xia Fei quietly appeared. He might be a spirit-master, and he might be involved in the dispute between the three families! The more Bao Xiuzhu thought about it, the more excited she became.
Slowly, Bao Xiuzhu's lips curled into a smile.
Ji Liang, who was beside her, did not know what was going on. He was slightly taken aback and said, "That's right. Miss Xiuzhu, you're not married yet. If Xia Fei really is a spirit-master, you can give yourself to him. That way, even the family head will have to look up to you!"
…
Midnight.
Xiao Huai met Xia Fei at the agreed location.
"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for almost an hour," Xiao Huai anxiously said.
Xia Fei laughed and nonchalantly said, "What's the rush? People only enter deep sleep in the wee hours of the morning. A little later is fine."
With that, Xia Fei handed four exotic beast skeletons and a white pine stone to Xiao Huai. "Bury the four skeletons in the east, west, north, and south of the courtyard. Put the pine stone in the middle of the courtyard where Jing Xiao and the others live. Make sure to bury it well. Go."
Xiao Huai nodded and left with the things. Xiao Huai was very familiar with the area, and it took him less than half an hour to finish following Xia Fei's instructions.
"What are we going to do now?" Xiao Huai curiously asked.
"Sleep. Wake me up at four in the morning." Xia Fei's body tilted, and he lay down on a bluestone, closing his eyes to rest. Xiao Huai anxiously waited by the side, constantly checking the time.
It was four in the morning, and Xiao Huai nervously nudged Xia Fei awake.
"It's time. Just what are we going to do?" Xiao Huai curiously asked. He had no idea what had happened tonight, and it was only out of his trust in Xia Fei that he had followed Xia Fei's instructions.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and unhurriedly said, "Haaa, people who can't keep their composure won't be able to accomplish anything great."
As Xia Fei spoke, he took out a purple gold can from his spatial ring.
* Pa ~ *
He exerted some force with his arm, and the purple gold can was embedded into the bluestone. Xia Fei collapsed and fell asleep again …
Xiao Huai was furious. He had only done a few inexplicable things the entire night. He had said that he was going to take care of these scoundrels, but Xia Fei had never done anything. Fortunately, Xiao Huai had spent the entire night sharpening his blade!
* Whoosh ~ *
Just as he was about to question Xia Fei, a cold wind blew, causing Xiao Huai to involuntarily shiver.
A cold and sinister aura spread, and the Aurora Race's courtyard in the center of the formation descended like a ghost!
