Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

Jiang Lin had only initially proposed such a shocking design, but it already shocked the Canaan executives!

He said that this boy was so terrifying. If he was allowed to grow up, he would definitely become the trusted Sun of Canaan Academy in the future!

However, the man with his back to everyone roared, "Wait a minute! The soul tax is just a small amount! It's an imperceptible consumption tax. We must be the great rulers who use both kindness and power! We must also collect the spirit stone tax!"

When everyone heard this, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, banging their heads on the ground, and cried out, "Your kindness, the world will never forget it!"

"And have you almost forgotten that I actually have another identity as a Soul Palace?" Jiang Lin looked at the people behind him and smiled slightly.

"Ah." The elders of Canaan College were slightly stunned. If Jiang Lin hadn't said it, they almost overlooked Jiang Lin's identity as a Soul Palace.

"The main reason is that the benefits are too great. Canaan Academy alone can't afford the soul tax and spirit stone tax. However, the Soul Palace is different. The Soul Palace only values ​​the soul tax, and I happen to be able to communicate with them. Canaan Academy will temporarily increase the output of the spirit furnace, and then we can collect the spirit stone tax."

Jiang Lin was willing to recruit the Soul Hall because, after considering many factors, he found that the people in the Soul Hall were relatively pure. Spiritual stones did not attract them much, and the soul tax was what they coveted the most.

Jiang Lin has not yet told Guardian Lu the specific details of the soul tax. He still needs to wait for Hun Ke'er to come back before he can maximize the benefits. Otherwise, without the tiger skin, he will not be able to get so much benefit.

"According to the time, Master Ke'er should be back soon, right?"

Chapter 533: Guardian Lu: Now I want to be a good person!

"Is this still the Soul Palace?" When Hun Ke'er walked out of the space teleportation array in the Western Region Soul Palace's base camp, she saw a magnificent palace in front of her. The walls of the palace were all made of white jade inlaid with gold. It was magnificent and majestic, and it looked like an immortal palace.

Especially when Hun Ke'er emerged from the once eerie, now brightly lit passageway and emerged outside the Soul Palace's headquarters, she looked back. Awesome! Surrounded by rosy clouds and drifting fairy mist, the splendid, golden palace seemed to be looming within the mist. Surrounded by verdant mountains, the sky was filled with rosy clouds. Those eerie reliefs and the mysterious ghost-fire skulls outside the Soul Palace had all transformed into a variety of exotic flowers and plants, and auspicious immortal beasts.

"Who is so bold as to destroy the Western Region Soul Palace?" This was Hun Ke'er's second thought after seeing the Western Region Soul Palace.

This kind of building obviously did not conform to the style of the Soul Palace, so Hun Keer subconsciously thought that the Soul Palace had been breached by others and was now occupied by people from other forces.

However, Hun Ke'er quickly denied her thoughts, as she saw a group of Soul Palace guardians dressed in platinum robes, their faces pale but with a hint of redness rushing to salute her: "Western Region Soul Palace, respectfully welcomes the Soul Clan's envoy!"

"." Hun Ke'er's eyes swept across the faces of the group of Soul Palace personnel who flew in front of her. She found that the aura of these Soul Palace personnel was still gloomy, and they were a little uncomfortable with the overly bright clothes on their bodies. But she could also clearly sense that the mentality of these Soul Palace personnel seemed to be more peaceful?

Looking at the leader, whose aura had changed a lot and whose cold aura had decreased a lot, Hun Ke'er frowned slightly, and a strange color flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes: "Protector Lu?"

"What are your instructions, envoy?" The guardian heron, wearing an eight-star platinum holy robe, stood in the air, nodded respectfully to Hun Ke'er, and responded.

"Huan Ke'er glanced at her black clothes and black veil, then at the white and gold robes of Heron Guardian, gleaming in the sunlight. Is this still the Soul Palace? Could it be that she was transported to another parallel world during a space teleportation? Is the Soul Palace in this world a benefactor who saved the world?

Hun Ke'er shook her head slightly, throwing away all the messy thoughts in her mind. Then she looked at the Heron Guardian and the group of 'bright' souls behind them, and said with her red lips: "I've only been away for more than half a year, why have you become like this?"

"Reporting to the envoy, the master spirit craftsman said that he didn't like the current appearance of the Soul Palace, so we spent some time renovating the Soul Palace headquarters." The Heron Protector answered truthfully.

"Spiritual craftsman?" Hun Ke'er's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, and a trace of doubt hung on her face behind the black veil: "You're just going to let him do whatever he wants?"

"This..." The Heron Guardian subconsciously turned around and exchanged a bewildered glance with the other 'light' souls around him. Then, the Heron Guardian cautiously replied to Hun Ke'er: "Replying to the envoy, we think that what Master Spiritual Craftsman said is not unreasonable."

"Hmm?" Hun Ke'er looked silently at Protector Lu.

Instantly, even the Heron Guardian, a peak-level eight-star Dou Zong, felt immense pressure under the gaze of the five-star Dou Zong Hun Ke'er. With his heart aching, Heron Guardian cautiously replied, "Your Excellency, please calm down. The Master Spiritual Craftsman said that the environment subtly influences one's state of mind. The Soul Palace's dark and gloomy architectural style previously instilled in the souls a sense of evil, perverseness, and unruliness."

"Isn't it normal for you to be evil?" Countless big question marks popped up in Hun Keer's mind.

"Uh..." Who would have thought that Hun Ke'er's words immediately caused the group of 'light' souls on the opposite side to look at each other in confusion, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Finally, with the support of the other souls, the Heron Guardian had no choice but to stand up and say to Hun Ke'er: "We didn't have the chance before, but now we also want to be good people."

"???" Hun Ke'er was stunned for a moment, staring at the Soul Palace guardians and deacons whose spending was incompatible with the word "Soul Palace". When she typed three question marks, it wasn't that she had a problem, but that she felt that these people in front of her had a problem!

"You...you want to be good people." Hun Ke'er was speechless and wanted to laugh. Although she had no stereotype about the Soul Palace, she also knew the purpose of its establishment.

"But what about your mission? If you don't have enough souls, your headquarters will not forgive you." The original purpose of establishing the Soul Palace actually had two purposes: to provide soul cultivation for the Soul Clan and to provide soul refining for the Refining Guild.

The Soul Hall's initial style was actually quite serious. The Soul Hall's purpose had always been to not care about the living, but the dead, that was their business. In a sense, the Soul Hall was the official garbage collection station of the Douqi Continent.

However, as time went by, the Soul Palace, a garbage recycling station, accumulated evil deeds, such as rushing into other people's ancestral halls and grabbing the souls of people's newly deceased ancestors on the spot. As these evil deeds became more and more frequent, the reputation of the Soul Palace in the Douqi Continent became worse and worse, and gradually became a target of public condemnation.

As its reputation deteriorated, Soul Hall entered a vicious cycle: the more evil you thought they were, the more evil they would be to you. Coupled with business indicators and the personal quality of law enforcement officers, Soul Hall eventually became what it is today.

"Of course, the soul mission indicators will not be delayed." The Heron Protector hurriedly explained that although he and others wanted to be "good people", they would still work hard to complete the work tasks.

Strictly speaking, they want to be 'good Soul Hall law enforcement officers'.

"." Hun Ke'er looked at the group of souls in front of her whose bodies were full of abstractions inside and out. She always felt that maybe her posture of space transmission was wrong, which caused her to see scenes that she should not see.

"How can we be sure? Are you going to perform salvation for others like this? Even a fool wouldn't believe you, right?" Hun Ke'er was filled with doubts. The way the Heron Protector and others were dressed looked like charlatans who performed salvation for others. But the charlatans saved the souls of the dead and evil spirits. The souls on the Douqi Continent had mouths and would resist.

Therefore, the work of the charlatans who liberate the souls of the dead will not work in the Douqi Continent.

"Your Excellency doesn't know this." Protector Lu felt slightly relieved. Hun Ke'er's attitude was obviously much better now.

Sure enough, as long as the core mission of the Soul Palace can be guaranteed to remain unchanged, the differences in process and means can be completely ignored.

Chapter 534: Using force in construction also brings a different kind of fun!

"We in the Western Region Soul Palace are cooperating with Canaan Academy to carry out a project called 'Soul Tax' in the Black Horn Region." Protector Lu explained to Hun Ke'er.

"Soul tax?" Hun Ke'er frowned slightly. "I've heard of gold coin tax, but soul tax? Can souls be taxed?"

"As the envoy said, souls can currently be taxed." The Heron Guardian added cautiously, "Master Spiritual Craftsman has developed a Dou Qi formation that can gather the energy of heaven and earth. Practicing within this Dou Qi formation will have its weak soul power continuously drained away."

"Hmm?" When Hun Ke'er heard that it was the work of a spiritual craftsman, her brows furrowed slightly.

"The Soul Palace's purpose has never been to target living people." In Hun Ke'er's opinion, the spirit craftsman's method of forcibly exploiting the souls of living people does exist. In the Soul Clan's soul refining techniques, there are records of many related fighting skills.

"So we have to mention the exquisiteness of Master Spirit Craftsman. His Nine-One Qi Gathering Array can extract a tiny bit of soul power without people noticing. The person whose soul power is extracted can recover by leaving the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array and resting for a night." When talking about the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array, the face of the Heron Protector was full of uncontrollable admiration.

Oh my god, how can people be so awesome?

While their Soul Hall was still facing difficulties in developing their business with the dead, the Spirit Craftsmen had already expanded their business to the living! And the key point was that these living people were particularly proactive!

Although the quality of the souls obtained is not as good as before, the number of souls obtained is growing exponentially!

Although Guardian Lu currently does not know how high the soul power conversion rate of the spiritual craftsman is, even if Guardian Lu uses his toes to think, he can obtain souls continuously by using their Soul Palace's own soul purification formation!

At present, the Spirit Craftsman has laid his cards on the table with the Guardian Lu. The soul tax from the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array will definitely be shared with their Western Region Soul Palace, but the specific amount will have to be determined after his uncle Hun Keer comes.

The Heron Guardian naturally wouldn't refuse. Even if he forced the Spirit Craftsman to give up his interests now, once Hun Ke'er arrived, he would have to start all over again. In this process, the Heron Guardian would not only gain little benefit, but would also offend the Spirit Craftsman and Hun Ke'er. Only a fool would force the Spirit Craftsman to give up his interests at this time.

and

The Heron Guardian was deeply impressed by the Spirit Craftsman's genius idea of ​​collecting both soul tax and spirit stone tax. How could a person be so inhumane? It was too damn awesome!

Take advantage of people's inner desire for a better life, liberate their "productivity", and then reap their productivity!

It’s so fucking amazing!

"." Hun Ke'er stared blankly at the group of Soul Palace law enforcement officers behind Lu Hufa who looked at him with admiration when talking about the Spirit Craftsman. Her heart suddenly trembled. She had just left for a short time. During her stay, she even took the time to learn the "Soul Spirit Sutra". However, when she arrived in the Western Regions, she found that the Spirit Craftsman had completely "rebelled" the Western Region Soul Palace.

"Where is the spirit craftsman now?" Hun Ke'er was silent for a moment, then asked the guardian Lu.

"Master Spiritual Craftsman should still be in Black Seal City. If the envoy departs now, perhaps he can encounter him before the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation in Black Seal City is established." The Heron Guardian thought for a moment and continued, "The reason we returned this time is actually to collect soul materials for Master Spiritual Craftsman to use in the construction of the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation."

The Soul Palace's own soul technology is very powerful, and they also have the habit of collecting various soul materials (soul bodies are a type of soul material) to refine various tools that are compatible with soul power.

Therefore, when Canaan Academy officially began collaborating with the Western Region Soul Palace, the Soul Palace wasted no time in releasing its entire inventory of soul materials to the Spirit Craftsmen. The Spirit Craftsmen, in turn, immediately embarked on a major infrastructure construction phase. With the Dou Huang elders of Canaan Academy and the Dou Huang deacons of the Soul Palace all assisting the Spirit Craftsmen, when the Spirit Craftsmen distributed the modularized components of the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array, they only needed the complex, core "chip" component. This significantly increased the speed of constructing the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array.

In the beginning, it took a spiritual craftsman half a month to build one, but the speed gradually increased until he, along with a group of Dou Huangs, could build a standard 91 Qi Gathering Array from scratch within a week, which was just enough for a small city to practice.

Now, the Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation that the spiritual craftsman is building in Black Seal City is naturally a more massive formation, so the construction speed will be much slower.

However, with the assistance of many forces, the spiritual craftsman finally spent more than half a month and successfully built a giant 91 Qi gathering formation in the Black Seal City.

"I have to say, the productivity of this fantasy world is too damn fierce." On the outskirts of Black Seal City, Jiang Lin, with a group of Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs of various auras standing behind him, looked up at the super tall towers standing on all sides of Black Seal City, his eyes flickering slightly.

Behind him, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er also stood in the Canaan Academy team, staring in amazement at the super miracle they had accomplished in just half a month.

The Black Seal City is so large that a simple Qi Gathering Tower cannot support it. Therefore, in addition to the nine main towers that are hundreds of meters high, there are dozens of densely packed secondary towers. Together, they divide the Black Seal City in the center of the Black Horn Region into nine areas on the ground.

"It's so... beautiful." In the team behind Jiang Lin, a Douhuang from the Black Emperor Sect looked at the countless steel towers standing on the earth under the setting sun, and the shadows and sunlight dragged out long rays of light underground. He couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.

This sentence instantly resonated with others.

For the first time, they, who had been engaged in intrigue and fighting with others all their lives, felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in "infrastructure" that allowed them to change the world with their own hands.

"Well, let's just erect a stone tablet for the builders." Jiang Lin looked at the beautiful sunset in the distance and the giant steel tower in the Black Seal City, which formed a beautiful silhouette. He heard someone sighing behind him, so he thought about it and ordered several Black Horn Domain Dou Huangs to find a stone tablet that was large enough.

Soon, those Dou Huangs from the Black Horn Domain, who had originally had great grudges against each other, went to the nearby mountains excitedly, spent half an hour mining out a stone tablet over 30 meters high, and carried it back together.

"The list of the founders of the Nine-One Qi Gathering Array in Black Seal City." Jiang Lin left these large characters vertically on the top of a very ordinary stone tablet that could be broken by a Dou Ling.

Afterwards, Jiang Lin wrote the words "Spirit Craftsman" on it, and then quietly watched the other Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs rush forward to write their names on it. The Dou Lings consciously occupied the lower area.

Although the fantasy world respects force

But sometimes.

Using force in construction also brings a different kind of fun.

Chapter 535: Value! It’s the only mechanism!

The Black Seal City Nine-One Qi Gathering Formation was the most ambitious operation Jiang Lin had undertaken since arriving in this world. This operation had practically shaken the entire Black Horn Territory.

The reason why Jiang Lin was able to leverage the power of the entire Black Horn Region was naturally not because of love and fists.

This is because Jiang Lin is willing to give up interests to the forces in the Black Horn Region.

Jiang Lin is now equivalent to making a super-large double-layer cake, which he cannot eat alone. At this time, he will try his best to drag in all the forces that are willing to sit down and talk. On the premise of ensuring sufficient interests for himself, he will transfer the "enclave" that requires energy to the local forces.

At present, the benefit distribution given by Jiang Lin is divided into two levels, one is soul tax and the other is spirit stone tax.

The Soul Tax is currently split between Jiang Lin and the Soul Palace, and Jiang Lin hasn't yet given the Western Region Soul Palace a specific allocation ratio. Once Hun Ke'er, Jiang Lin's background figure, appears, the distribution ratio between Jiang Lin and the Western Region Soul Palace will become more binding. Most importantly, Jiang Lin needs to get a feel from Hun Ke'er to determine if he can reap the huge benefits of the Soul Tax from a group of Dou Zun, or even Dou Sheng, subordinates.

If Hun Keer's background is super strong, then Jiang Lin can just ask Tam for something unreasonable and make some requests to the Soul Palace.

If Hun Keer's background is not very strong, then for the sake of safety, Jiang Lin will try his best to obtain enough benefits from the soul tax without causing dissatisfaction among the most powerful people in the Soul Palace.

Some people may ask, since we will face the situation of not being able to ask for more from Tam if we cooperate with Soul Palace now, why not practice hard to improve our strength, and then promote Soul Tax when we are strong enough to beat the top leaders of Soul Palace?

Hmm. Jiang Lin didn't know how to answer this question. Why? Because what was the root cause of your soul tax? To acquire resources!

What is the purpose of acquiring resources? To improve your own strength!

You're capable of punching the Soul Palace Nursing Home and kicking the Eight Tribes Kindergarten. Are the Soul Tax resources really necessary for you? You clearly have the power to just rob them. Yet you're still collecting taxes slowly. It really makes me cry!

Jiang Lin, who had already spent money to raise his cultivation to the level of a six-star Dou Wang, now needed resources the most! At this stage, any resources allocated from the Soul Tax would be enough to fill Jiang Lin's stomach. Then, Jiang Lin could use these resources to quickly improve his realm and strength. With his strength improved, he would definitely be able to punch the Soul Palace Nursing Home and kick the Eight Clan Kindergarten, making them spit out all the benefits they had previously taken.

As for being unable to defeat them? You know how in those MOBA games with only six equipment slots, you can't drag your late-game heroes into the late game? Because your stats are capped by your equipment slots and levels, while the stats affected by late-game effects are constantly growing!

Although Jiang Lin's growth is not infinite, his values ​​are beyond imagination among people in the same realm!

For example, a normal person only has one "life weapon equipment slot", but Jiang Lin theoretically has ten!
