Chapter 301 Mingdou Mountain Range.
Qian Gu Chang'an paused for a moment, then directly took out ten unopened jars of Dragon Blood Wine from his soul tool and laughed heartily, "I didn't expect the Tower Master to share this hobby with me. I didn't bring much with me on this trip, so I'm giving them all to the Tower Master."
"Thank you very much!" Wu Xuan waved his hand and put the ten jars of Dragon Blood Wine into his soul tool.
"Then, Senior Chang'an, farewell! When the time is right, I will have Xiao Ming inform everyone." Wu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting.
"Haha, good, then we'll see the Tower Master off!" Qian Gu Chang'an laughed heartily.
Wu Xuan smiled slightly, and his figure vanished into the wind under the shimmering light of his crimson sixth ring.
"Such skill! The Tower Master truly deserves to be called a peerless genius, one in ten thousand years!" Qian Gu Chang'an couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmph! That's because I have good judgment. I saw Brother Xuan's extraordinary nature at first glance." Qian Gu Ming said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Chang'an didn't attack Qian Gu Ming, but instead nodded in agreement, "Souls! Truly a peculiar existence!"
Meanwhile, back in the inner courtyard, Wu Xuan couldn't wait to return to Ma Xiaotao's wooden house, for a fierce battle awaited him that night.
Wu Xuan pushed open the door, and Ma Xiaotao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly conserving her energy. Seeing Wu Xuan return, Ma Xiaotao smiled mischievously and jumped off the bed without hesitation.
"What? Were you prepared all along?" Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
"What else? Just wait and see, I'll definitely win tonight!" Ma Xiaotao blinked her pink eyes, declaring her victory.
"Hehe, it seems last night gave you an unrealistic illusion!" Wu Xuan chuckled, preparing to no longer hold back his strength tonight.
The battle began!
Ma Xiaotao, initially full of confidence, was completely stunned after enduring several attacks from Wu Xuan.
What was going on? How could she be struggling so quickly?
"No, I can't give up!"
So Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth and persevered, but after only two waves of attacks from Wu Xuan, she couldn't hold on any longer and surrendered.
In the following days, Ma Xiaotao, still unwilling to accept defeat, challenged Wu Xuan again, but each time the battle ended in a hasty and crushing defeat.
It was through these repeated defeats that Ma Xiaotao realized one thing: she was no match for Wu Xuan, and she could no longer dream of turning the tables.
Six or seven days later!
Today, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo finally tested the uses and value of a soul tool called the High-Altitude Detection Device. Excited, they convened the Sea God Pavilion Council again, affirming the device's usefulness to the elders. They also highly praised Wu Xuan's contribution.
After the council meeting concluded and the two rested briefly, they officially set off that afternoon with Elder Jin, Elder Li, and the other two to the Mingdou Mountains to hunt down the seventh ring for Wu Xuan—the 290,000-year-old Golden-Scaled Griffin.
The Mingdou Mountains!
Five streaks of light flashed past in the distance, and the outline of the Mingdou Mountains was already visible in the distance.
Unlike his previous visit to the Mingdou Mountains, this time Wu Xuan observed this treacherous place in greater detail.
From the air, the mountain range stretched endlessly, seemingly without end; even before entering it, a sense of oppression was already palpable.
After a brief exchange, the five of them roughly decided on two tactics: luring the enemy out of their hole and feinting an attack. They then split into three teams and, without any hesitation, Wu Xuan and Xian Lin'er swaggered towards Qiyun Peak, the territory of the Griffin Clan.
This time, without the Conferred God Platform, he couldn't bring the soul beasts to the academy to absorb their soul rings as he had done before; he had to deal with them on the spot.
More than a month ago, he had brought so many blueprints and rare metals to these two senior brothers and sisters in the Soul Guidance Department. Now it was time for them to share some of the burdens for him, the future Pavilion Master.
"Senior Sister, how confident are you and Senior Brother Qian in breaking through to the ninth-level Soul Guidance Master?" Wu Xuan asked, looking at Xian Lin'er beside him.
"Ninth-level Soul Guidance Master? I might break through in less than half a year. As for that guy Qian Duoduo, I probably won't be able to do it for less than a year. What, you want to have us customize a Soul Guidance Device?"
"Yes, Senior Sister, you know I never object to using Soul Guidance Devices," Wu Xuan nodded.
"Hmph! I'm glad you think that way. The development of soul tools is the trend of the times. Not everyone is as short-sighted as that deadbeat Yan Shaozhe. How about it, do you want to learn how to make soul tools with me?" Xian Lin'er smiled and said.
"No, no, at this stage I still want to focus on improving my soul power. A soul tool is fine as long as it's useful." Wu Xuan politely declined.
"That's a real pity. As a spirit attribute soul master, you'll definitely make rapid progress in making soul tools. By the way, what kind of soul tool do you want to customize, junior brother?" Xian Lin'er asked.
"A level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform!" Wu Xuan said.
"The Conferred God Platform? Is that the wooden stand you have? Don't you already have one?" Xian Lin'er asked in surprise.
"One isn't enough. Its function is too practical. I want to prepare several. Senior sister, can you make them?" Wu Xuan asked.
"Hmm~, with my current near-ninth-level Soul Master level, of course I can! If it weren't for the fact that your senior sister hasn't independently completed a ninth-level Soul Tool yet, your senior sister would already be a ninth-level Soul Master by now," Xian Lin'er said proudly. She was quite proud of herself for inscribing a ninth-level core formation in just over ten days.
"Then, senior sister, could you help me make a Conferred God Platform first? I need it urgently," Wu Xuan said.
Xian Lin'er thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Sure! Then you can lend me the Conferred God Platform to study later. Inscribing a ninth-level core formation isn't a problem for me now, and with a physical object as a reference, my chances of successfully replicating it are at least 70-80%."
"Thank you, senior sister. The more Conferred God Platforms the better for me. Four or five wouldn't be too many," Wu Xuan said, seizing the opportunity.
"Cough cough~! Four or five? What do you need so many for?" Xian Lin'er choked on her own saliva.
"Ah! Is that not allowed?" Wu Xuan said, slightly disappointed.
"Alright, alright! You're my junior brother, how could I not help you!" Xian Lin'er sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. The workload of creating four or five level-nine soul tools was too much. She would also have to bring Qian Duoduo along to help later; she couldn't let her suffer all the hardship.
At their current speed, they had already penetrated deep into the Mingdou Mountains. Vast stretches of gray-black coniferous forest came into view, a dense, metallic expanse.
"Screech~!"
A sharp, piercing screech suddenly rang out, filled with a warning.
Wu Xuan and Xian Lin'er stopped, their expressions wary as they surveyed their surroundings. The next moment, a colossal creature with an eagle's head and a lion's body appeared several meters in front of them.
