Ten days later, in the secret room of the Soul Tool Hall …
Xia Pingan opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. The Soul Anchoring Pearl landed on Xia Pingan's hand like a feather. Xia Pingan kept the Soul Anchoring Pearl and stretched out his finger. He lightly tapped the blue light cocoon opposite him and the light cocoon shattered.
Inside the light cocoon, a fierce-looking outer disciple of the Wan Shen Sect was sitting cross-legged. He was wearing an eyepatch and had only one eye. The outer disciple was wearing a yellow magician robe with leather armor, and he was holding a sawtooth weapon that was flashing with a layer of red light.
When the light cocoon shattered, the outer sect disciple opened his only eye and looked at the weapon in his hand. His face was instantly filled with surprise.
"Thank you, Master Long Huan …" The outer disciple immediately put away the soul tool in his hand and stood up. He bowed respectfully to Xia Pingan and then grinned. He even waved the sawtooth weapon in his hand and seemed very satisfied. "This time, I feel that this Soul Breaker Saw will definitely be able to break through the mantis blade bug's armor …"
"This soul tool has just been refined. You'd better nourish it for at least three days. It will be easier to use it!" Xia Pingan pretended to be weak as he spoke. He then took out the White Dew Soul Replenishing Pill and swallowed another pill.
"Master, my name is Ming Tao. I will be returning to the abyss fortress in a few days. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to look for me …" The outer disciple said straightforwardly.
In the eyes of a summoner, a Soul Master was like a doctor in the eyes of an ordinary person. They were both people worth befriending, so this big man was very polite.
"Oh right, how's the battle at the abyss fortress?" Xia Pingan asked.
"It's very intense. The fortress' heavy cannons are still blocking the main passageways and space in the abyss. However, some insects are very smart and will take a detour. Our mission at the abyss fortress is to kill those insects and destroy their passageways. If we can't defeat them, we will retreat to the abyss formation. The abyss fortress is fine for a short period of time, but it's hard to say after a long time …" Ming Tao said.
Xia Pingan nodded. It seemed like the Immortal City would not fall in a short period of time. "Then you have to be more careful!"
"Haha, don't worry. With a few more Mantis Blade Insects, I'll have 200 Insect Crystals!" As Ming Tao spoke, he waved his hand and a Realm Pearl appeared in his hand. He handed it to Xia Pingan and said, "Grandmaster, you've worked hard these two days. This is a Realm Pearl of Divine Power that I obtained in the Abyss a few days ago. It's just a token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Refining a soul tool for you is a reward from the Ten Thousand Deities Sect, and it's also my mission. How can I take your things?" Xia Pingan hurriedly declined with a serious expression.
"Hahaha, the sect is the sect, and we are different. We each have our own business. If Grandmaster doesn't accept it, then you're looking down on me …."
"This, thank you very much …" Xia Pingan could only accept the Divine Power Realm Bead.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Xia Pingan opened the secret room and sent Ming Tao out. When he walked to the hall, he happened to see Grandmaster Fire Crow walking over from the side with his hands behind his back.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Greetings, Grandmaster Fire Crow!"
The two of them bowed to Grandmaster Fire Crow. In the past few days, after Grandmaster Fire Crow became the Hall Master of the Soul Tool Hall, he became even more famous in the Immortal City. Many people said that Grandmaster Fire Crow was the number one Soul Master in the Immortal City. Those Ten Thousand Deities Sect disciples who came to the Soul Tool Hall to refine soul tools would first think of Grandmaster Fire Crow.
As for Long Huan, Feng Yu, and Luo Yundi, Grandmaster Fire Crow distributed the remaining talents to the three of them. The people who came to refine soul tools were all different. The stronger the soul, the easier it was to split the soul. For Soul Masters, there were still some differences.
"Is the soul tool done?" Grandmaster Fire Crow asked Ming Tao with a cordial expression. Looking at Xia Pingan's exhausted face, he was extremely satisfied.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Long Huan. The soul tool is done!" Ming Tao said.
"Oh, let me see how it is!"
Ming Tao didn't think much and took out the soul tool he just refined and handed it over to Grandmaster Fire Crow.
Taking the soul armament into his hands, Grandmaster Huo Ya let out a sigh of relief. Compared to the soul armaments he crafted, this soul armament didn't have as much soul as the ones he crafted. The only difference was that the soul armament was more evenly distributed. Taking into account the effects of Long Huan's soulanchoring pearl, Grandmaster Huo Ya knew that the soul armament Long Huan crafted wasn't able to overshadow the soul armaments Grandmaster Huo Ya crafted.
This was the fifth soul armament Long Huan had crafted in the Hall of Soul Armaments. The quality of each soul armament was about the same. Compared to Long Huan's soul armament, Long Huan's soul armament was slightly inferior. That wasn't surprising to Long Huan. The reason why Long Huan's eaglestrike crossbow was better than Long Huan's was probably because Long Huan wanted to show off. Long Huan had sacrificed a portion of his soul to the crossbow …
To a soul cultivator, that kind of thing was a losing business. It was fine to do it once or twice, but to do it four or five times a month was definitely out of the question. Who would be able to endure it?
"Not bad, not bad at all. Grandmaster Dragon Fantasy has put a lot of effort into crafting this soul armament. There's no problem with this soul armament …" Grandmaster Fire Crow said as he returned the soul armament to Ming Tao. Ming Tao was also very happy, so he took his soul armament and left.
"Hallmaster, this month's task of refining soul tools has been completed. I've used up quite a bit of energy these past few days. If there's nothing else, I'll return to my residence to rest for a while. I'll return to the Soul Tool Hall when the task comes next month!" Xia Pingan said to Grandmaster Fire Crow.
Grandmaster Fire Crow gave Xia Pingan a rare smile. His voice was much more amiable, "Yes, yes. Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Our Soul Tool Hall has completed the task given to us by Overseer Fu ahead of time. You can return first. If there's anything else, I'll let you know!"
"Yes!" Xia Pingan bowed slightly to Grandmaster Fire Crow. Then, under Grandmaster Fire Crow's satisfied gaze, he walked out of the door of the Soul Tool Hall.
Seeing Xia Pingan leave, Grandmaster Fire Crow nodded. This Long Huan was quite sensible. Since he was sensible and obedient, there was no need for him to make things difficult for Long Huan. If Long Huan were to quit, it wouldn't look good for him as the hallmaster of the Soul Tool Hall. Overseer Fu would definitely think that he didn't manage his subordinates well, was intolerant and didn't look at the big picture. That wouldn't be good. It wouldn't be good for his development in the Wan Shen Sect.
… …
Xia Pingan walked out of the Hall of Duty and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, because many people were transferred to the Abyss Stronghold and some people left the Immortal City, some people were stationed outside the city. Compared to the past, the Immortal City was slightly bleak. The number of people on the streets had suddenly decreased by half.
Although it didn't seem right, these days were the most tense period in the Immortal City. However, Xia Pingan had been exceptionally relaxed these days.
Xia Pingan walked directly to his residence in the Heavenly Shine Alley.
It had been exactly ten days since the gathering in the Hall of Duty. In these ten days, he had been working non-stop in the Soul Tool Hall. He had already helped five disciples of the Wan Shen Sect to refine soul tools.
Of course, the so-called tiredness was actually an act.
Other soul masters needed to consume a lot of energy to refine soul tools. However, for Xia Pingan, refining soul tools for others was like a doctor giving injections. Other than spending a little time, there was almost no consumption.
And because of the nourishment of the bottle of White Dew Spirit Replenishing Pills and the top-grade Soul Stabilizing Pearls, not only did his Divine Soul not consume any energy, it even grew a little. At this moment, he felt refreshed and his brain was full of wisdom.
Other gains were the three Realm Pearls!
They were all adults. Ming Tao was not the only sensible summoner in the Wan Shen Sect. Many summoners would not miss the opportunity to make friends with soul masters. Moreover, the soul tools refined by Xia Pingan were indeed not bad. At least, they did not look worse than Master Fire Crow's.
This task was really not bad. It was not dangerous at all. The Realm Pearls came to him and everything was stable.
Xia Pingan estimated that even if he went out to hunt those insects, he might not be able to get three rare Realm Pearls so easily in these three days.
He returned to Heavenly Shine Alley Spirit 98 alone and opened the door of the courtyard. The formation in the courtyard was operating normally and nothing had changed.
Xia Pingan summoned Boy Fortune God and the Black Dragon. He made something to eat in the kitchen. After eating, he went straight to the secret room. He first threw out the tortoiseshell Five Elements Inverted Eight Trigrams Sword Formation to protect the secret room. Then, he summoned Xuanwu to guard the secret room. Xia Pingan was not in a hurry to fuse with the three Realm Pearls. Instead, he directly entered the Spirit World God Palace in the secret mandala.
It had been a long time since he entered the Spirit World. Especially since he advanced to the Six Sun Realm, he had not entered the Spirit World. So this time, he just happened to return to the Spirit World to take a look …
After entering the Spirit World God Palace and passing through the golden arched door, Xia Pingan soon arrived at the Spirit World of the Immortal City.
The entire Spirit World was filled with thick fog and was unpredictable. Two Spirit World portals to different worlds stood in two different directions of the Immortal City Spirit World, facing each other from a distance.
Xia Pingan had not been there before and did not know where the portal led to. However, Xia Pingan was not in a hurry. He directly ran towards the Spirit World portal on Earth. He had not finished exploring the Spirit World on Earth. So far, he was still circling around a fortress. So, he would think about it later.
After passing through the flickering white vortex in the middle of the arched door, when the dazzling white light disappeared, Xia Pingan had already appeared in the previous fortress.
Before Xia Pingan could see the scene in front of him clearly …
"Rumble …" A deafening roar entered Xia Pingan's ears. The ground of the entire fortress was trembling. It was as if a person was standing in front of a speeding train.
When Xia Pingan saw the situation in front of him clearly, he was instantly shocked.
The entire sky of the fortress was protected by an energy barrier. In the sky outside the barrier, there were flying horseshoe critters everywhere. At first glance, there were more than a hundred horseshoe critters.
Just as Xia Pingan was staring at the horseshoe critters in the sky, a huge rock the size of a house with burning flames flew over from afar like a meteor with a trail of black smoke behind it. It heavily slammed into the energy barrier of the fortress again and shattered it, causing a huge roar and tremor.
"Your Majesty, you're back …" Elder Mu appeared in front of Xia Pingan. The brilliance on his body had dimmed by half. He was like a candle in the wind, and his voice was weak.
