The Cleric Union's internal virtual network, encrypted information library.
The virtual information library was like a traditional library. Rows of bookshelves were four meters tall, and they were neatly arranged with countless books. There was even a list at the bottom, and it was easy to see what books were on display.
Xia Fei casually clicked on Dark Energy Conversion Theory, and a thick book appeared in Xia Fei's hands in the blink of an eye. It felt like he was holding a real book, and it even had the unique scent of a book.
"It seems that the Cleric Union is still very nostalgic. Even the virtual system is modeled after the ancient times." Xia Fei smiled.
"Reading Dark Energy Conversion Theory requires 1700 points. Confirm to read?" Just as Xia Fei was about to open the book, this message suddenly popped up.
After confirming, the system replied, "Apologies, you do not have enough points."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. With a tap of his finger in the air, he pulled up his personal information. According to the information, his ID card was a super anonymous card, so no one would be able to track him down. However, the points and points column he had was a big duck egg.
Xia Fei was speechless. He never expected that Fuchen, who had super privileges, would be so poor that he did not even have a single point.
After transferring the 200 points from the temporary identity card to his anonymous account, the balance looked a little better, but it was still not enough for Xia Fei to learn Dark Energy Conversion Theory.
Xia Fei was very disappointed. Energy was the foundation of everything, and dark energy was a higher level of energy system. How exactly was it discovered and how many ways it could be converted? These were questions that no one had explained to Xia Fei in detail, and Xia Fei was very interested in them.
It was no coincidence that Xia Fei could become what he was today. Not only was he talented, but he also loved to learn and had mastered many strange things.
He walked around the encrypted information library. There were many interesting materials, but none of them could afford it. After all, they were all high-level materials. The starting price was 1000 points, but Xia Fei only had 200 points in his account, which was far from enough.
Frowning, Xia Fei left the information library and went to the trading area. He hoped to trade for some points. This was the reality of this world. Without money, there was no way to survive in the virtual world.
"If I sell the healing soul tool that you made, I should be able to get quite a lot of points." Yuan's eyes lit up. The large amount of soul tools and all kinds of raw materials in the trading area made Yuan very excited.
Xia Fei shook his head. Are you kidding me? Using this anonymous ID card to enter the system is to prevent information from being leaked. If I take out a healing soul tool, Im afraid that many people will suspect me. We need to keep a low profile and try not to attract attention.
The trading area was incomparably huge, in addition to bartering. There was also the mission posting area. Xia Fei stopped in front of a short boxing glove.
This soul armament was called the Four Star Soaring Wind. The way to use it was also very interesting. It belonged to the close combat type of soul armament. There were four star-shaped protrusions on the metal gauntlet. As long as you wore it on your hand and clenched your fist, you would be able to use it. A single punch on the enemy's body would be able to smash the enemy's entire soul out!
Close combat meant risk. Without exceptional individual ability, very few Soul Masters would choose to fight in close combat. Of course, a speed-type warrior like Xia Fei was an exception. Distance was meaningless in Xia Fei's eyes; who asked him to have such a heaven-defying teleportation speed?
This thing is rather interesting. It seems to be a product from a very long time ago, and the scars on it aren't hard. Instead, they look like cracks caused by the aging of the soul armament. Xia Fei rubbed his chin as he spoke.
All the soul armaments in this area were damaged. As long as one had the ability to repair them, they would be rewarded handsomely.
That's right. This really is a soul armament from ancient times. If a soul armament is used too many times, it will indeed age, especially for some precious soul armaments. The number of times it can be used must be strictly limited, so as to ensure that the soul armament can be passed down from generation to generation.
Take the White Longyin in your hand as an example. The race has always kept it in a secret storeroom. I'm afraid that the number of times it has been used in its entire life won't be as many as the number of times it has been used in your hands for a year, Yuan said.
Xia Fei nodded. There were many differences between soul armaments from ancient times and current ones. The materials used to create the White Longyin were very strange. Even a top-notch Soul Master would not be able to create a soul armament like the White Longyin because of the scarcity of materials.
Furthermore, the grades of soul armaments from ancient times did not have any obvious characteristics. There was only a rough idea of what grade the White Longyin belonged to, and no one was able to give it a proper ranking. This four-star Soaring Wind was the same; it was classified as an ancient soul armament without a grade.
Do you want to give it a try? If you can repair it, you'll get ten thousand points, Yuan said from the side.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei exited the virtual network and walked into the botanical garden to find Black Orchid. He wanted to borrow some points for the deposit.
In order to accept this ten thousand point mission, he first had to pay a ten thousand point deposit. This was to prevent people from taking away the soul armament without returning it.
"How much do you need to borrow? What do you need it for? " Black Orchid asked as he fiddled with a very strange snake-shaped aquatic lotus root.
"Nine thousand eight hundred points as a deposit for repairing the soul armament. Everything about the identity card Fuchen gave me is good, except that it doesn't have a single cent in it." Xia Fei shrugged.
Hah, that old rascal is still so stingy. Black Orchid laughed heartily.
As the leader of the plant-type Soul Masters, Black Orchid's family was quite wealthy. He immediately transferred ten thousand points to Xia Fei without saying anything, though he looked at Xia Fei with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he did not think that Xia Fei would be able to complete a repair mission worth ten thousand points.
Xia Fei returned to the virtual network once more and paid the deposit.
* Whoosh! *
With a flash, a silver gauntlet appeared on the small teleportation platform beside the virtual helmet. It was none other than the ancient soul armament, the four-star Soaring Wind.
The Soul Master Union had a complete spatial teleportation network, and Black Orchid relied on this system to survive in the tower. According to him, it had been many years since he took a step out of the tower. Even his meals were delivered to him by the spatial teleportation system on time. The Soul Master Union had put in a lot of effort to allow the Soul Masters under them to research and cultivate in peace.
This made things easier for Xia Fei. It would be hard to avoid suspicion if he were to return something with the face of a stranger, but there was no need to worry about this spatial teleportation system.
Holding the four-star Soaring Wind in his hand, Xia Fei took a closer look.
The real thing was very different from a holographic image in a virtual state. It was like looking at an antique, holding a book and looking at a picture. You could never become an antique connoisseur. You had to hold it in your hand to feel the characteristics and aura of an antique.
"The ancient people's soul armaments seem to be more crude, relying entirely on inspiration, done in one go." Xia Fei's two eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself.
This was when Master Black Orchid walked over and sighed. "There wasn't such a complete classification in ancient times. Nowadays, when a Soul Master wants to create a soul armament, they first need to design a complete process. What kind of embryo to use, how to create it, what grade the soul armament will reach after it's completed, and what functions it will have are all designed in advance.
"Meanwhile, the Soul Masters of ancient times all fought alone, creating their own embryos and figuring out how to create soul armaments. Most of the time, they have no idea what they'll end up with. From a precise point of view, the soul armaments made by the Soul Masters now have perfect specifications, but they lack inspiration. They're completely unlike the ancient people who would fiddle around with strange soul armaments whenever they're happy. To put it simply, the soul armaments now have powerful functions, but they have no individuality."
Xia Fei nodded. There was a time on Earth when the Apple brand computer was so popular that almost everyone had one. Everyone was using the same thing, and it was indeed a very strange feeling.
"If I knew you were going to fix this thing, I shouldn't have lent my points to you. Fine, I'll just treat it as buying a lesson. You youngsters really don't know your place." Black Orchid shook his head as if he was very disappointed with Xia Fei.
"Is there something wrong with it?" Xia Fei curiously asked.
"Wrong. Very wrong!" Black Orchid said in a deep voice. "Do you know why this glove has a reward of ten thousand points? That's because it's a soul armament from ancient times. The Soul Masters back then were different from the ones now, and the soul armaments they made were also very different. Repairing ancient soul armaments requires ancient techniques, and this kind of repair technique of the past has long been lost! "
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. "The current repair techniques can't repair ancient soul armaments?"
Black Orchid laughed. "The reason is very simple. Let's say you have an old table in your house that's missing a leg, and you use a new piece of wood to make the table leg. What kind of effect would that have?"
"Neither fish nor fowl?" Xia Fei muttered to himself.
"Exactly. Do you think that there's no talent in the Soul Master Union? No one wants to take on these old soul armaments not because they can't repair them, but because once they're repaired, the ancient soul armament will be completely ruined. It can be used, but it's very difficult to use. "Black Orchid sighed.
With that, Black Orchid went back to work. He originally wanted to see what Xia Fei was fiddling with, but he was greatly disappointed.
Bringing the glove into Black Orchid's cultivation room, Xia Fei closed the door. Since he had already accepted the mission, he might as well give it a try.
Activating his spiritual energy, Xia Fei's hands glowed faintly as he felt around the soul armament. This was the first step in repairing a soul armament: checking its damage.
"As expected, it's not man-made damage. It's just that it's been used too many times and has been around for too long, causing the soul armament to collapse from the inside. If it's not repaired, it'll be completely destroyed after a few more uses," Xia Fei said with a frown. Those hair-like cracks on the soul armament gave Xia Fei a headache.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei felt a clear difference. It was as if his right hand, which was connected to Peacock Blue, was resonating with this soul armament, adjusting the frequency at which he approached this ancient soul armament.
"Peacock Blue?" Xia Fei was stunned.
The reason why Xia Fei had the healing ability, a heaven-defying ability, was because he had one of the five Immemorial Mystical Armaments, Peacock Blue!
