The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

The basement directly below the castle.

Xu Zihuang sat in front of a huge metal table. The metal table is filled with various fine metal parts of various shapes.

The most conspicuous among them are five hexagonal metal blocks engraved with complex core formations. This is the most important core array among all soul guides. Different types of core arrays also have different requirements for the types of rare metals.

Carved on the five hexagonal metal blocks of different colors in front of you are five different third-level core formations.

In addition, there is a sharp black and white blade. The back of the knife is as black as ink, the blade is as silver as snow, and the pattern is a small T with random edges. Under the soft soul-guided light, the cold light shone, and the sharp aura contained a hint of ominous power.

The main material of this blade is the tooth of the evil killer whale that was cultivated for 20,000 years. Xu Zihuang spent a lot of effort to polish it into what it looks like now.

Although he had successfully produced the first level three soul tool more than a year ago.

But the soul guidance device in front of him, which has not yet been completely completed, is the work that he has really put all his effort into.

On a level 3 soul guide, five level 3 core arrays are used at the same time, making it even more difficult to make than an ordinary level 4 soul guide.

With the sparkle in his eyes, Xu Zihuang concentrated his mind and completely immersed himself in it.

Crisp metal sounds sounded one after another, and his long, white fingers danced nimbly like works of art. A large piece of fine metal parts on the desk was quickly and methodically put together by him.

Several soldiers of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps who were originally carving the core array in the basement noticed this scene and couldn't help but be attracted to it. They silently lowered their footsteps and came behind Xu Zihuang.

The main body of the soul guide is generally divided into outer shell, inner shell and core. The core is the core array, and there is not much difference whether it is a melee soul guide or a mid-range soul guide.

However, the outer shell and inner shell of the melee soul guide are much more complicated than the medium and long-range soul guides.

The shell of the remote soul guide is generally made of the hardest and high-temperature-resistant metal, so that it will not be easily damaged during long-term use. The inner shell is different. The biggest feature of the inner shell is to amplify and conduct soul power. Therefore, the inner shell needs to be made of very precious conductive metals, such as crystal silver. Only by amplifying the soul power through the inner shell can the soul master consume as little soul power as possible when using the soul guide.

However, in addition to the core array, the requirements for the shell of a melee soul guide are even more stringent. For example, the dagger-type melee soul tool that Xu Zihuang is making now, the blade is not only the shell, but also the main part that exerts the most lethal power of the soul tool.

This is also the reason why melee soul guides are far more powerful than medium and long-range soul guides of the same level.

Of course, this does not mean that melee soul guidance devices are necessarily better than mid-range and long-range soul guidance devices, but they each have their own preferences. Melee soul guides are suitable for traditional fighting soul masters with rich combat experience, while long-range soul guides are more suitable for soul masters.

Xu Zihuang's expression became more and more solemn. It was not until the last piece of dark purple rare metal engraved with the core array was embedded in the gap where the blade and the handle met that his brows relaxed.

This is a precious metal called thunder crystal gem. Such a small piece is worth more than 10,000 gold soul coins. By inscribing the core magic circle on it, after the user injects soul power, the short sword will be endowed with the power of thunder and lightning.

"Click——"

Xu Zihuang held the handle of the knife tightly, and the natural feeling that fit perfectly with his palm gave him a strong premonition.

He succeeded.

Sure enough, the moment he injected soul power, violent purple thunder and lightning suddenly lingered on the blade, and the back of the blade, which was originally as black as ink, turned into a crystal clear deep purple at this time.

"As expected of you, young master." The onlookers couldn't help but praise.

Each of them is a soul engineer of level five or above, so they can naturally see how difficult it is to make the melee soul guidance device in Xu Zihuang's hand.

Ask yourself, even if they try it themselves, they may not be able to make it 100% successful.

Xu Zihuang picked up the silver scabbard made of Demon Soul Great White Shark Skin on the table, put the blade into the scabbard, and then put it into the storage ring together.

"Fortunately, the previous efforts were not in vain."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xu Zihuang nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked out of the basement with a smile on his face.

Because the main material is the teeth of the evil killer whale, this short knife was named whale tooth by him, which is quite fitting.

…

Yueshu City, in a spacious room on the top floor of the city lord's palace in the center of the inner city.

Yaoyang, who was dressed in a silver-white and luxurious soul master's robe, sat in front of the desk near the huge floor-to-ceiling window, frowning as he looked at the scroll in front of him.

"Another merchant ship from the mainland has lost contact. If you really did it, Crocodile Luo, what good will this do to you?"

The Yuenan Islands are far away from the Douluo Continent. At least half of the reason why they are so prosperous and prosperous is because of the merchant ships that travel between the mainland and the Yuenan Islands.

However, in the past three years, the probability of merchant ships encountering accidents has increased significantly.

Although there was no clear evidence, Yaoyang still found some clues.

And if we consider it from the perspective of profit, Crocodile Luo has no need to do this at all, because he will not get any benefit from it at all. It may even harm your own interests to a great extent.

Unless it is, the benefits Crocodile Luo gets from it make him not care about this part of the loss.

Yaoyang Shuangmi narrowed her eyes slightly, and such a thought flashed through her mind subconsciously.

But he quickly rejected this conjecture. Because this is completely illogical. Instead of going back to the original business of the pirate group, it would be better to do business in a serious manner.

As long as Crocodile Luo, which occupies two islands in the Yuenan Islands, trades well with merchant ships from the mainland, not only will there be no risk, but the rewards will be far better than the former.

"Bang bang bang——"

At this moment, a gentle knock on the door sounded. Zhuyao, who was wearing a cool silver gauze skirt, came to Yaoyang with a steaming pot of mellow black tea on a tray.

Zhuyao personally poured a glass for Yaoyang and suggested softly: "Let's take a rest first."

"Yes." The expression on Yaoyang's face softened slightly, and he felt the warm and delicate touch on the back of his hand. He reluctantly raised his head to meet Zhuyao's eyes that were full of expectation and resentment.

After being touched, he finally calmed down and did not respond.

"Is it because of Zihuang? My intuition told me. That clan brother's identity must also be fake." Zhuyao opened her red lips lightly, and said to herself without waiting for Yaoyang's reply.

"You don't have to answer me, I know you have something to hide."

Yaoyang looked away with a complicated expression and said sadly: "Yao'er, there are some things I really can't tell you. But to me, Zihuang is my biological brother. Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

When he heard the last sentence, he turned his back to the charming Zhuyao, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes were full of cunning.

The meaning of Yao Yang's words was obvious.

This trick is to retreat in order to advance, it is indeed correct!
