Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 155 Mirror Red Dust: You want to give me a great-grandson!
Wang Chen came to Jing Hongchen to borrow materials in order to create a level nine soul tool alchemy furnace. Top-tier pills like the Qiankun Creation Pill contain terrifying amounts of energy.

Ordinary alchemy furnaces simply cannot withstand the pressure. Therefore, a level nine soul-guided alchemy furnace is indispensable.

As for why not find the materials yourself... that would be too time-consuming. The core materials needed to refine a level nine soul tool are all top-grade rare metals.

Top-grade rare metals typically only appear at high-end auctions and are always in high demand but short supply. Searching for them requires a significant amount of time.

Therefore, to save trouble, Wang Chen went directly to Jing Hongchen. Mingde Hall is the top soul tool research institution in the Sun Moon Empire, apart from the Palace Offering Hall led by Kong Lao.

There are a large number of researchers working on projects of all sizes, and they consume large amounts of rare metals every day.

Although Mingdetang has a limited quantity of top-grade rare metals, it is child's play to satisfy Wang Chen's needs.

After all, Wang Chen was only refining a level nine soul tool alchemy furnace, so he didn't need many top-grade rare metals.

Top-grade rare metals are mainly used to inscribe the core magic array. The core magic array is not very large to begin with, so it does not use much rare metal.

Soon, led by Jing Hongchen, Wang Chen arrived at the core material warehouse of Mingde Hall. This warehouse stored various rare metals used to refine advanced soul tools and for scientific research.

Jing Hongchen looked at Wang Chen, coughed twice, and couldn't help but remind him, "Don't take too much, kid. Although I am the head of Mingde Hall, I have a lot of authority."

However, Mingde Hall is not under my sole control.

Wang Chen naturally understood what Jing Hongchen was saying. There was more than one level nine soul master in Mingde Hall. If too many top-grade rare metals were taken away, the other level nine soul masters would be dissatisfied when they needed them and found that they were no longer available.

If someone were to run to the emperor and report that Jing Hongchen was lining his own pockets, that would be bad.

After all, the Emperor sent Jing Hongchen to Mingde Hall to oversee various research projects and manage the hall, not to have her abuse her power for personal gain.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have most of the materials for the level nine soul tool I'm going to refine. I'm only missing a small part, so I won't cause you any trouble."

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen said, "That's alright. As long as you don't take more than five portions of top-grade rare metals, there won't be any major problems."

"If there's any more, the loopholes will be too big, and it will be difficult for me to report the losses. As for the auxiliary materials of average value, you can take them as much as you like."

Looking at Jing Hongchen, Wang Chen thought to himself, "It seems that the old man has been lining his own pockets quite a bit over the years as the head of Mingde Hall. No wonder he's so rich. He has more level nine soul tools than other level nine soul tool masters."

Wang Chen looked at the dazzling array of rare metals. He carefully selected two top-grade rare metals that could withstand high temperatures and had excellent soul power conductivity.

He also acquired several tough and durable auxiliary materials, and with the rare metals that Wang Chen already had in reserve, it was enough for him to build a high-quality alchemy furnace capable of refining the Qiankun Creation Pill.

Seeing that Wang Chen hadn't taken much, Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Wang Chen, Meng'er has been talking about you a lot lately, sighing all day long, not eating or drinking. I'll have Meng'er take a day off from the academy tomorrow."

Come to the Hongchen Clan and have a good talk with Meng'er. Lest she fall ill with lovesickness at such a young age.

Wang Chen nodded, then said seriously, "Okay, but isn't a one-day holiday too short? Anyway, the courses at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are so simple, it doesn't make much difference whether you go or not."

"I might as well tutor Meng'er from now on. In cultivation and soul tools, I'm far superior to the teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Jing Hongchen: (「▼皿▼) You brat, you're pushing your luck! You want Meng'er to cultivate with you? Do you think she can even make it? Don't let her end up holding my great-grandson.

Jing Hongchen, his beard bristling and eyes wide, glared and said, "You brat, grab your things and get out of here! Don't provoke this old man!!!"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll go to the Hongchen Family tomorrow."

Then Wang Chen put the rare metal into his storage soul tool, chatted with Jing Hongchen for a while, and then left Mingde Hall quietly without anyone noticing.

After leaving Mingde Hall, Wang Chen headed towards the Wang family. Upon returning to Mingdu, Wang Chen didn't go back to the Wang family yet; instead, he went to Mingde Hall to prepare the materials for the level-nine soul tool alchemy furnace.

Now that everything is settled, Wang Chen can finally relax and go home.

Thinking of the Wang family, Wang Chen couldn't help but picture Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Ju Zi, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He's been away for quite a while, almost half a month. I bet Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Ju Zi are already starving.

When Wang Chen left Mingdu, he did so quietly without announcing it to avoid being discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, it's impossible to hide this from someone you're intimately close to every day. So Wang Chen told Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and Ju Zi, the three women.

He has something to take care of and should be back in about a week. A week would normally be enough time, but he's been held up by the people from Shrek Academy.

First came Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi, then Mu En, the High Priest of Seagod Island... and finally Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Several battles left Wang Chen physically and mentally exhausted, and he suffered serious injuries multiple times. If it weren't for his strong vitality, Wang Chen would probably have died long ago.

Of course, the battle wasn't without its benefits; Wang Chen absorbed a significant amount of life force from the Life Gold, bringing his recovery speed to a new peak. The injuries he sustained in the morning's battle with Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were almost completely healed by the afternoon. This recovery speed was truly terrifying.

Long Xiaoyao, whose injuries were similar to Wang Chen's, had only just stabilized after treatment by a healing-type Soul Master, and was still a long way from being fully recovered.

..............................

In the center of the Wang family estate, at Wang Chen's house.

Xu Tianzhen lay on the bed, her delicate and lovely face buried in the soft pillow, her fair little feet swinging restlessly, holding a book in her hands, completely absorbed in reading.

The book cover says "Marriage First, Love Later" ****** From the title alone, you can tell it's either a romance novel or erotica. In any case, it's not a respectable book.

Xu Tianzhen lay on the bed, sometimes giggling, sometimes with a dazed look in her eyes, and sometimes shouting angrily, "That damned mistress seduced the male lead, she'll die!!!"

Just as Xu Tianzhen was enjoying herself, Wang Chen's figure appeared silently behind her.

Seeing Xu Tianzhen engrossed in reading on the bed, Wang Chen didn't disturb her. Instead, he was curious about what the book she was reading was about.

Wang Chen read for a while, then raised an eyebrow. The book's content was so explosive and explicit that it left him speechless. Various techniques and props...

Xu Tianzhen's breathing quickened as she watched the exciting plot, so she held the book in one hand and slowly lowered it with the other.

Just as Xu Tianzhen was about to reward herself, a familiar voice came to her ears.

"It is a sin to make Your Highness use your hands. Today, let me help Your Highness fill the void."

Xu Tianzhen turned around and saw Wang Chen had returned. She was so startled that she hurriedly burned the book in her hand to ashes with the True Fire of the Sun.

Seeing Xu Tianzhen's flustered appearance, Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Your Highness, why burn it? It's not like I'm stopping you from watching. It would be better if we watched it together and learned how to play from the book."

Xu Tianzhen's face flushed red, and she jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end: "You... why didn't you make a sound when you came in? And besides, this princess didn't see anything, hmph!"

Wang Chen pulled her into his arms, his chin resting on the top of her soft hair. "Haven't seen you for half a month, did you miss me?"

Xu Tianzhen struggled in his arms but couldn't break free, so she buried her face in his chest and muttered, "You finally know how to come back! You've been gone for days without telling me what you were doing, humph!"

Wang Chen lowered his head and inhaled the faint scent of gardenias in her hair, his voice softening: "There was a slight accident, which took a little longer than expected. Come, look at the gift I brought you."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate little jade bottle from his storage ring.

"Hmph, don't think that giving a gift will make you..." Xu Tianzhen's words were cut short as she suddenly widened her eyes.

Wang Chen opened the jade bottle, and the red gelatinous substance emitted a rich, extreme fire attribute energy, which aroused Xu Tianzhen's martial soul, the Sun, with boundless desire.

He couldn't wait to put the contents of the jade bottle into his mouth and swallow it whole.

The contents of this jade bottle are the scorching glue produced by the fiery apricot blossom in the eye of ice and fire.

Wang Chen, the big-headed one of the fiery glue, naturally used it to refine pills, but he cut off a small amount, put it into a small jade bottle, and gave it to Xu Tianzhen to help his martial soul evolve to the ultimate fire.

Xu Tianzhen's Sun Martial Soul is a top-tier fire-attribute Martial Soul, not far from becoming the ultimate fire. As long as he takes the Blazing Glue, he will definitely be able to further improve the quality of his Martial Soul and become an ultimate Martial Soul Master.

Xu Tianzhen stared intently at the jade bottle in Wang Chen's hand, exclaiming in surprise, "What is this? My God, how could there be such a high-quality fire-attribute natural treasure in the world?"

Wang Chen chuckled and pinched Xu Tianzhen's delicate and adorable face, then asked, "Are you still going to hum?"

Xu Tianzhen chuckled and said, "I won't hum anymore, I won't hum anymore."

Wang Chen shook the small jade bottle and asked, "Want it?"

Xu Tianzhen nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "Husband, husband, I want it, I want it. Give it to me, I love you the most."

Wang Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile. "I want it, it depends on your performance."

After saying that, Wang Chen put the small jade bottle into his storage soul tool, then lay down on the bed, signaling Xu Tianzhen to behave well.

Xu Tianzhen looked at Wang Chen coquettishly, "You bad man, you even dare to bully the princess."

After saying that, Xu Tianzhen turned her back to Wang Chen and plopped down on his lower abdomen, her delicate hands deftly untying his belt...
