[Main Mission 2: Soul Hall Reputation Reached 100,000 Points, Recruited a Titled Douluo, Soul Hall Funds Reached 1 Million Gold Soul Coins, All Completed.]
[Main Quest 2 rewards are as follows: Number of powerful summons x1, a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and a prototype of a Soul Palace.]
After only three days, the reputation value had met the requirements of the second main task, and the task was completely completed.
"Receive your reward."
The summoning of the strong is available in every main quest, and the other two rewards are what Xiao Mu is more concerned about.
Xiao Mu flipped his right hand, and a small flag appeared in his hand.
The main body of this small flag is two strange black wooden sticks crossed in a cross shape. The sticks are as black as ink, surrounded by complex and strange dark gold patterns, and the whole body exudes a strong cold and gloomy aura.
These cold and gloomy auras are actually the manifestation of soul power, and they carry with them a powerful soul deterrent.
On the most important pale white banner, countless shadows of evil spirits were looming, and Xiao Mu could even faintly hear the howling of thousands of ghosts.
Xiao Mu injected soul power into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the palm-sized flag suddenly grew larger, becoming as tall as two people.
After the Ten Thousand Souls Banner grew larger, a cold wind filled the entire room, and a layer of white frost quickly formed on the walls.
Xiao Mu used his soul power to look inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, only to see that it was completely empty, without a single soul.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
[Side Quest 2: Lord of Ten Thousand Souls, please find two main souls for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.]
[Note: The lowest level of a main soul is Titled Douluo. The souls of those below the Titled Douluo realm are not qualified to become the main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.]
"I even activated a side quest. This is a good deal."
The power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is closely related to the number and quality of the souls contained in it. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner without souls can only be regarded as a pretty good treasure.
Putting away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner temporarily, Xiao Mu checked the remaining reward.
[Soul Palace Prototype: A fortress base with unlimited growth capabilities, but currently only a prototype, requiring various materials to evolve.]
[Soul Hall Prototype → Materials required for a Level 1 Soul Hall: 1,000 jin of refined iron, 300 jin of purple gold and copper, 500 black crystals, 500 jin of Kunshan jade, 300 pieces of black ironwood and 300 pieces of ebony wood.]
Just to be promoted to a first-level Soul Palace, a considerable amount of materials are needed.
Refined iron and purple copper are both precious forging materials, while black spar is a relatively rare special ore. Kunshan jade, black ironwood and rosewood are also very expensive.
"You're going to spend the money you just earned so soon?"
Xiao Mu originally thought that he had become rich overnight and was considered a wealthy man.
But the total price of these materials is definitely close to 10 million gold soul coins, and he will spend more than half of the proceeds from the auction of the Soul-Breaking Pill in one go.
Money is a bastard, earn it again when you lose it.
Xiao Mu really wanted to see how far this Soul Palace with unlimited growth potential could grow.
"Huo Yuan, go to Tiandou City immediately and purchase the following materials. If you're short of anything, go to the Tiandou Auction House and ask Xu Yunchang to help you collect them."
Huo Yuan took the paper Xiao Mu handed over, glanced at it quickly, and said:
"I'll go right away."
In the past three days, the Haitang Ye family has been completely incorporated into the Soul Palace.
There are not many people in the Ye family. Including Ye Lingyun and Ye Lingling, there are only more than fifty people in total. The rest are all subordinates of the Ye family.
Among all the people in the Ye family, the most important ones are actually Ye Lingyun and Ye Lingling. After all, they are the only ones who possess the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit.
The martial spirits of other members of the Ye family are of varying quality. Although they are all healing, they are far inferior to the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial spirit.
Now Huo Yuan no longer needs to do the miscellaneous chores of the Soul Palace herself. She is now responsible for managing the finances of the Soul Palace.
However, she still had to do the things Xiao Mu asked her to do personally, especially since these materials were very precious and she was not at ease letting others do it.
After Huo Yuan left, Xiao Mu prepared to use up the number of times he could summon strong men.
Zhan Kaishan appeared out of nowhere.
"Palace Master, are you going to summon other Heavenly Lords again?"
Yang Ziqi also ran over. Zhan Kaishan had witnessed the scene of him being summoned, but Yang Ziqi had not seen it with his own eyes.
"Since you are so enthusiastic, let's welcome the new Tianzun."
Yang Ziqi was relatively indifferent, but Zhan Kaishan was a little nervous.
It would be fine if Xiao Mu summoned a Titled Douluo who was weaker than him, but if the summoned character was stronger than him, then his position as the Great Celestial Venerable might be in jeopardy.
Although it is just a title, the Great Heavenly Venerable sounds much better than the Second Heavenly Venerable.
Xiao Mu didn't know that Zhan Kaishan had thought so much, and immediately started summoning.
It was also a gathering of soul power, but this time, the soul power was mixed with black feathers.
Many black feathers gathered together and finally formed three pairs of huge black wings.
"Black Envoy Douluo Qianqiusui pays his respects to the Palace Master."
Qian Qiusui is a man with a feminine appearance and always seems to have a strange smile on his face.
"Get up. Your surname is Qian. What is your relationship with the Spirit Hall?" Xiao Mu asked.
Qian Qiusui replied, "I am from the Qian clan of the Spirit Hall, but I am an abandoned disciple of the Qian clan."
"Because of your special angel spirit?"
"Palace Master, you have a keen eye. This subordinate has abandoned the light and chosen to embrace darkness, transforming all my light energy into dark attributes. The rest of the Qian Family sees me as a traitor to the Angel God. If it weren't for my considerable strength, I'm afraid even my martial spirit would have been crippled."
When Zhan Kaishan heard Qian Qiusui say that his strength was only good, he felt that he should be inferior to himself, so he asked:
"Old con man, what's your soul power level?"
Qian Qiusui smiled tenderly.
"I'm ashamed. My soul power is at level ninety-eight, just a hair's breadth away from level ninety-nine. I was ambushed just as I was about to break through, and I perished."
"Ninety-ninety-eight?"
The smile on Zhan Kaishan's face froze. This guy who looked a bit effeminate actually had a soul power one level higher than his?
And from what he said, if he hadn't been ambushed, he would have most likely become an Extreme Douluo.
Yang Ziqi smiled and said quickly, "It seems the real Great Celestial Lord has appeared."
For Yang Ziqi, it really doesn't matter whether he is the Second Heavenly Venerable or the Third Heavenly Venerable.
But Yang Ziqi was very much looking forward to having Zhan Kaishan, who had always acted like the Great Heavenly Venerable, become the Second Heavenly Venerable.
"What's the hurry?" Zhan Kaishan glared at Yang Ziqi.
"It's not like a soul master is stronger just because he has higher soul power. I once defeated a level 98 Titled Douluo."
As he spoke, Zhan Kaishan also deliberately showed off his soul ring.
The bright red hundred thousand year soul ring is the source of his confidence.
Qian Qiusui doesn't seem to be very good at fighting. Even if his soul power is higher than his, he may not be his opponent.
Qian Qiusui was not angry at the hidden hostility of Zhan Kaishan, but applauded instead.
"You actually possess a hundred thousand year spirit ring. I admire you."
Zhan Kaishan immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just got lucky. Don't worry, the position of the Second Heavenly Venerable will definitely be..."
Before Zhan Kaishan could finish his words, he saw Qian Qiusui also display his spirit ring.
None of Qian Qiusui's spirit rings are white, yellow or purple, the lowest are all black.
What caught Zhan Kaishan's attention most was the blood-red color in all the soul rings.
