Should I go directly to Dugu Bo, or try to seduce Dugu Yan first to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...?

Jiang Bai secretly made his plans.

Using the immortal herbs inside, not only can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial soul defects be resolved, evolving into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but it can also greatly enhance one's own strength...

He was engrossed in sketching out his vision for the future when a strange change suddenly occurred in the sky!

The once clear and bright night sky was suddenly filled with a thick, dark cloud, as black as ink, like a giant hand, which instantly obscured the moonlight and starlight.

"???"

Jiang Bai was taken aback, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

The arrival of these clouds is so strange.

Before he could even react—

"Snap—!!!"

A blindingly bright silver-white lightning bolt struck down with lightning speed and absolute precision from the center of the dark cloud!

It hit Jiang Bai, who was lying on the roof, perfectly!

"boom!"

An indescribable surge of violent energy instantly coursed through his body. Jiang Bai felt a sudden white light before his eyes, a ringing in his ears, and intense pain and numbness all over his body.

His thin body convulsed violently a few times, his once healthy tan skin instantly turned black, and his hair stood on end, wisps of smoke rising from it.

The violent impact left his mind blank, and it took him a long time to regain a semblance of consciousness.

A faint yet exceptionally pure energy emerged from nowhere, like a gentle stream, slowly nourishing his body.

He stiffly and incredulously lowered his head, looking at his hands, which were smoldering and charred like coals, and made meaningless hoarse sounds in his throat.

He instinctively opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only exhaled a wisp of black smoke with a burnt smell.

"..."

……

Wuhun City.

This sacred land of soul masters on the continent exudes a majestic and mysterious aura even in the dead of night.

Deep inside the Papal Palace, in an office decorated with opulent yet solemn style, Qian Xunji was reviewing the last document of the day.

He was dressed in a papal robe, and his face appeared deep and dignified in the candlelight.

As the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, he shoulders heavy responsibilities and has a heavy workload of daily affairs.

"Knock knock knock—"

A soft knock sounded on the door.

Qian Xunji didn't even look up: "Go in."

The door was pushed open, and a man dressed in a magnificent chrysanthemum-patterned robe slowly entered.

He had a delicate and handsome appearance, but his temperament was somewhat eerie. He was none other than Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, one of the elders of the Spirit Hall.

Yue Guan walked a few steps to the desk, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Holiness the Pope."

"What brings you here so late?"

Qian Xunji put down his pen and looked up at Yue Guan.

"Your Majesty,"

Yue Guan's voice was soft yet clear.

"A secret report came from the branch temple of the Barak Kingdom, saying that a child with extraordinary talent has been discovered in a small village."

"Oh?"

Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow.

"A person who can get a secret report directly from the branch hall must be no ordinary genius."

"Truly extraordinary."

Yue Guan nodded. "That child has innate soul power at level nine!"

A hint of interest flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.

Having innate soul power at level nine is considered top-tier talent across the entire continent, and even ranks among the top in the younger generation of the Spirit Hall.

But what Yue Guan said next made Qian Xunji take it seriously.

"and,"

Yue Guan paused, his tone carrying a profound meaning, "His martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"The Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Qian Xunji frowned slightly and leaned forward unconsciously.

"A wild Seven-Jeweled Glass Pagoda?"

This news was indeed unexpected.

As the number one auxiliary weapon spirit in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has always been passed down only to the direct bloodline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and it is extremely rare for it to be lost to outsiders.

"Are you sure it was discovered within the territory of the Barak Kingdom? Or is it just a decoy deliberately set up by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Qian Xunji asked cautiously.

"The branch hall steward has confirmed this repeatedly."

Yue Guan answered affirmatively.

"The child's name is Jiang Bai. He lives in a small place called Niuma Village. His mother passed away a year ago. His mother's surname was Jiang, and she was an ordinary Soul Master, while his father..."

As Yue Guan finished speaking, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "It is said that his father's surname was Ning, and his name was Ning Fengping."

"Ning Fengping?"

Chihiro had no recollection of this name.

"Just an ignorant and arrogant nobody."

Yue Guan spoke with disdain.

"It is said that this person was of mediocre talent and was not valued within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Several years ago, for an ordinary woman, he actually chose to leave the sect and elope with her..."

"Leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a woman?"

Qian Xunji murmured repeatedly, for some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with this scene.

But he quickly suppressed this strange feeling and began to think about the meaning behind it.

A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master who had been living away from home, and a genius with innate soul power at level nine...

"Where is that child now?" Qianxun asked urgently.

"Still in Niuma Village, it has been registered by the local deacon and has officially joined the Spirit Hall."

Yue Guan answered, then added.

"However, given his talent and the uniqueness of his martial soul, I believe it would be more appropriate to bring him directly to Martial Soul City for further training."

Chihiro tapped her fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The value of a Soul Master to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is self-evident.

If a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master can be cultivated who is loyal to the Spirit Hall, it will greatly benefit the Spirit Hall's future strategic plans.

Especially since the child has a clean background, it is easier to cultivate a sense of belonging.

"Arrange for someone to pick them up."

Chihiro made a decision.

"Send a squad of Guardian Knights directly from the Spirit Hall to ensure the child's safety. Once they arrive, place them at the Spirit Academy for observation for a period of time."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yue Guan replied with a bow.

"Oh, right," Qian Xunji remembered something, "reward the steward who reported this matter. Also, keep this matter confidential for now, and don't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School find out."

"Understood."

"There's one more thing!" Chihiro suddenly remembered.

"Have you found out anything about Tang Hao's side?"

"We've confirmed it! It's definitely a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

"Hmm... let's prepare this too."

"yes!"

After bowing, Yue Guan left the room and gently closed the door.

……

Two and a half months later, in Niuma Village.

Jiang Bai stood in front of his small wooden house, where he had lived for six years, and took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the fragrance of earth.

Two and a half months have passed since the awakening of the martial soul, and the traces left by that strange lightning strike have long since disappeared.

Surprisingly, although the lightning strike caused him a lot of suffering, after recovering, he felt that his body seemed to be more resilient than before, and his soul power flowed much more smoothly.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about these subtle changes.

During this time, he continued to help the villagers herd livestock as usual, but on fewer occasions.

On the one hand, Village Chief Grandma Liu and several villagers knew he was about to leave and stopped making him work; on the other hand, Jiang Bai himself also needed to prepare for his upcoming journey.

The most important preparations begin today.

Jiang Bai returned to the room and dragged a dusty wooden box out from under the bed.

This was given to him by his mother, Jiang Ning, before she passed away, with the instruction that he should "open it only after he becomes a Soul Master".

The wooden box was very ordinary, just a common item made by the village carpenter, without any decoration.

Jiang Bai brushed away the dust and gently opened the box lid.

A bracelet lay quietly inside.

The bracelet is dark silver in color, made of neither gold nor iron, and has a cool touch. Its surface is engraved with extremely fine and barely perceptible patterns.
