Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 162 Pure
Sun Essence and Moon Marrow?

Lin Xiao glanced at Ye Yulin thoughtfully, while Nangong Wan continued speaking with a sullen expression on his face.

"As you know, these two minerals need to absorb the power of the sun and moon to form naturally. Sunstone is not too rare, but Moonstone only accumulates energy during a full moon. Its content is not even one-tenth of that of Sunstone..."

Ye Yulin narrowed his eyes at Nangong Wan's expression and said, "Isn't it just a price increase? Tell me, what's your offer?"

"It's not a question of price." Nangong Wan was a little embarrassed. "The reserves are really too small. Even if they are discovered, they will be mined quickly. Even for us, it's a bit difficult."

Ye Yulin looked at Nangong Wan's expression, as if wondering whether what he said was true or false.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to have thought of something. "Okay, I understand your difficulties. As long as you can find the Moon Marrow Mine, I'll owe you a favor."

Nangong Wan's eyes flashed. A favor from a ninth-level soul master was something that couldn't be measured in price.

"Starry Sky Douluo is truly straightforward." Nangong Wan laughed, then suddenly raised his voice and called out to the door, "Huang Zheng!"

"Elder." A disciple who was about the same age as Lin Xiao quickly walked to the door.

"Take Starry Sky Douluo to see the batch of materials we recently received."

"Yes, Elder." Huang Zheng responded, then took two steps forward and made a "please" gesture.

Ye Yulin glanced at Nangong Wan again before getting up and following Huang Zheng. Lin Xiao was about to follow behind when Nangong Wan stopped him, saying, "The warehouse is a strategic location, so it's best to have Star Douluo go alone."

"Then wait for me here." Ye Yulin didn't care. After giving instructions, he walked out.

Seeing his figure completely disappear, Lin Xiao turned around and said, "Greetings, Second Elder."

"Alright, you're here as a disciple of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so there's no need for so many rules." Nangong Wan waved his hand and sat back down at the table. "Why are you here?"

"I don't know either. This morning, Ye Yulin suddenly asked me to go with him. Now it seems that he might want to introduce me to a place where I can purchase rare metals."

Nangong Wan nodded and said, "I almost forgot that you are also a soul guide. If you need anything in the future, you can directly go through the channels of the sect."

"Thank you, elder."

Nangong Wan didn't say anything else. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Xiao again, "Oh, there's one more thing."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly looked at Nangong Wan.

"Has Lao Ba sent you any news recently?"

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Even if he was carrying out a mission to the three great empires, not receiving any news for a whole year had certainly attracted the attention of some within the sect.

After all, Wanhun Douluo had just helped the sect bring back a saint girl, and although Masked Douluo had not made any substantial progress, at least he had a place to stay in Tiandou City. Only Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had no news at all.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lin Xiao didn't dare remain silent for too long. He shook his head gently and said, "Elder, the teacher hasn't contacted me yet."

Nangong Wan looked Lin Xiao up and down again and said, "Forget it, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. There are so many sects in the Douling Empire, I guess his actions will not be very smooth."

Nangong Wan was speaking when he suddenly looked up at the door and stopped talking.

Lin Xiao also turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that Huang Zheng had returned with Ye Yulin.

Huang Zheng bowed to Nangong Wan, then lingered his gaze on Lin Xiao for a moment before turning and leaving. "So, is the Starry Sky Douluo satisfied?"

"It's still a long way from what I expected." Ye Yulin shook his head. "But it's enough for now. Tell me when you have any news."

"Sure." Nangong Wan smiled and clasped his fists. Seeing Ye Yulin was about to leave, he stood up again and said, "If you have any other needs, you can come and patronize us often."

Ye Yulin came and left quickly. In a blink of an eye, he had already brought Lin Xiao to the street. While walking, he did not forget to turn around and look at Lin Xiao.

"How about it, any ideas?"

Lin Xiao was suddenly asked such an unclear question, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

Thinking of the two materials he needed just now and recalling some memories, he tentatively asked, "Teacher Ye, are you trying to improve your Sun God Needle?"

"Oh?" Ye Yulin was obviously interested. "Tell me about it."

After hearing Ye Yulin's words, Lin Xiao confirmed his guess, "Teacher Ye's Sun Needle can be charged by absorbing the power of the sun, but it can only exert its maximum power during the day."

"The two materials you just requested are likely related to the charging process. Teacher Ye intends to use the Moon Marrow Ore to allow the Sun Needle to absorb energy at night and function."

"That's a good guess." Ye Yulin nodded, "But his mind isn't pure enough. He's not focused on the soul guide."

"Making a soul guide is also a process of cultivation. Advanced soul guides even incorporate the soul guide's own will. If the thoughts are too mixed, it will be very difficult to break through to a higher level."

Ye Yulin stopped talking, and Lin Xiao followed behind him, trying to figure out what he meant.

Just after the two returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Lin Xiao saw the students in the academy who were studying soul guidance devices.

They are different from me. They don’t have too many thoughts and don’t need to figure out other people’s thoughts all the time. They just put all their thoughts into the soul guide.

Lin Xiao paused slightly, and suddenly understood what Ye Yulin was asking.

Being able to become a ninth-level soul engineer is not only due to the talent to become a Titled Douluo, but also due to the research on soul guides.

He did guess Ye Yulin's plan, but what Ye Yulin wanted to hear was actually his ideas on improving his soul guide.

His self-propelled soul guide cannon uses a charging soul guide as its energy source, but the current highest level of charging soul guide is only level seven. If he wants to break through to a higher level, he may have to find more energy sources like Ye Yulin.

Lin Xiao glanced at Ye Yulin and suddenly understood why there were so many eighth-level soul guides in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but only Xuan Ziwen was favored by so many people.

Because Xuan Ziwen does not have too many distracting thoughts, all his thoughts are on the soul guide. With his personality, it is almost inevitable for him to break through to the ninth level soul guide.

As for his teacher Lin Jiayi, although he is also talented, as the principal of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, he has too many thoughts on other things and may no longer have the possibility of making further progress.

Soul guides are not just machines, and soul guidance is also a practice.

"Thank you, Teacher Ye."

Ye Yulin glanced at Lin Xiao, didn't say anything, just laughed softly.
