Chapter 93: Four Types of Soul Guidance Devices

The next day.

Ning Feiliu looked at the results of his night's work, a look of excitement on his face.

Before him, four Soul Guidance Devices with their Core Arrays already carved were all lined up in order of size.

Last night, he attempted to carve six rare gems and metals, failing only twice.

The first time goes without saying; because it was his first attempt and he grew impatient at a critical moment, he failed.

For the second, third, and fourth attempts, he succeeded, and the further he went, the smaller the carrier for the Soul Guidance Device core became.

By the fifth attempt, Ning Feiliu had gained great confidence and intended to carve a ring-sized Soul Guidance Device core.

And that gem was only half a finger wide.

But the result was a failure, and not a failure that was close to success, but a complete and utter failure.

It belonged to the category of Soul Guidance Devices that are not easy to carry.

That was considered taking a shortcut.

"For the necklace, let's call it the Life Well Pendant."

This caused him, who had been getting a bit carried away, to regain his composure. After recovering sufficient soul power and mental energy by practicing the Moonlight Breathing Method, Ning Feiliu calmed down slightly and carved a pebble-sized Soul Guidance Device core.

The storage space of this bracer was still quite a bit less than the twenty-four cubic meters of storage space in the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges that Tang San would obtain in the future.

What he needed was to craft the Soul Guidance Devices and then sell them!

The second one was a purple sachet similar to the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, palm-sized, yet it had a full eight cubic meters of storage space inside.

"As for this bracer..." Ning Feiliu chuckled, "let's call it the Crystal Bracer."

This yellow bracer could store ten cubic meters of items; it could be said to be his masterpiece of the night.

Such a small Soul Guidance Device core was not yet something Ning Feiliu could craft.

And subsequently, all of them were assembled into complete carriers, becoming finished Soul Guidance Devices.

The third one was an orange-yellow necklace with an orange-yellow agate gem on it, but with the special appearance of the necklace, it didn't look that conspicuous, and it also had eight cubic meters of space inside.

The first one was naturally a gorgeous wooden treasure box; it looked about the size of an ordinary parcel box, but the storage space was only one cubic meter.

These were all names from the basic equipment of the Alliance in his past life; they sounded a bit more evocative this way.

"For this treasure pouch, I'll name it Fluorescent Dust."

But that didn't have much meaning; he wasn't using Soul Guidance Devices to haul cargo now, and he didn't need such large storage space or to be so conspicuous to haul eight or ten steel coils.

Ning Feiliu could actually make a belt with eight or ten gems embedded in it, forming a storage space of several tens or hundreds of cubic meters.

But after all, Tang San's was twenty-four independent gems concentrated on one belt, each with one cubic meter of storage space, adding up to twenty-four cubic meters.

But who cares; Soul Guidance Devices are all rare goods. Even if the storage space isn't large and they aren't very convenient to carry, believe it or not, they can still sell for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Make big money!

"Let's name these Soul Guidance Devices first." Ning Feiliu looked at the four Soul Guidance Devices before him with satisfaction, gave a strange laugh, and said, "For the box, let's name it Pandora's Box."

For the fourth one, Ning Feiliu had originally wanted to make an inconspicuous ring, but after failing, he changed it into a bracer.

Next, he would use these four styles as Soul Guidance Device models for fixed production.

After all, he was too lazy to name different Soul Guidance Devices in the future.

Unless it was a special Soul Guidance Device he crafted for himself or his friends and partners.

These were all Soul Guidance Devices to be sold, so Ning Feiliu set them aside and got up, intending to continue to the Great Spirit Arena to grind for tasks.

Just as Ning Feiliu walked out of the backyard, he discovered that Ye Lingling was already sitting calmly in the spot she usually occupied at the medical clinic.

After such a long time, that spot had become Ye Lingling's exclusive one; even he couldn't easily sit there.

So Ye Lingling's figure was particularly obvious.

This made him pause for a moment.

"Have you been waiting long?" Ning Feiliu asked curiously.

"Not long, you are late," Ye Lingling said calmly.

Ning Feiliu shook his head and muttered to himself, "Clearly you arrived early. We agreed yesterday to meet at the fourth quarter of the Chen hour in the morning, and you arrived at the sixth quarter of the Mao hour."

Having stayed on the Douluo Continent for over half a year, he was now quite familiar with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches method of timekeeping.

The Chen hour is 7:00 AM, and the Mao hour is the earlier 5:00 AM. Besides the twelve double-hours, the more detailed time is divided into quarters, which is 15 minutes.

But in the time divisions of the Douluo Continent, there are surprisingly also terms for half an hour and one minute.

In short, this way of keeping time has a certain aesthetic of mixing the ancient and modern, a historical confusion. (Original work setting: Tang San mentions the twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches timekeeping method, and there is also the saying of 'one stick of incense', but soul skill effects are described as half an hour or ten minutes; one can only say to respect the original setting.)

The fourth quarter of the Chen hour is 8:00 AM, yet Ye Lingling arrived at the sixth quarter of the Mao hour, which is 6:30 AM.

"Let's go then." But Ning Feiliu didn't quibble over this; quibbling over these things was too meaningless.

However...

He looked at Ye Lingling; it seemed this seemingly cold ice beauty also yearned for things like combat.

No wonder Ye Lingling, who seemed cold and indifferent to everything, would join the Imperial Fighting Team in the original plot and follow them to Soto City to participate in the Spirit Fighting Battle.

It turns out Ye Lingling actually had a heart for battle, just like him...

"Okay." Ye Lingling didn't say much, but a glimmer of anticipation flashed in the depths of her eyes as she followed Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu saw this change in her eyes and immediately chuckled to himself.

However, he still took out the dark blue coat and that mask from his Soul Guidance Device, disguising himself as that powerful, ruthless, and taciturn "Yafei."

He turned his head and said to Ye Lingling, "Lingling, from now on, call me Yafei."

"Mm, okay, Yafei," Ye Lingling nodded calmly and said.

Ning Feiliu nodded with satisfaction, and then he passed through a deserted alleyway and walked out onto the main street.

And Ye Lingling said nothing, but followed closely behind.

Very quickly, they arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

"Mr. Yafei..." Those staff members who were familiar with Ning Feiliu's attire hurriedly stepped forward respectfully.

This was not only because of the twenty-two consecutive victories Ning Feiliu had achieved within the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, but even more so because of the Dugu Bo background behind him!

After all, even with twenty-two consecutive victories, Ning Feiliu was still only a Soul Elder.

No matter how strong a Soul Elder was, they were still only at the third major rank of Spirit Master; when facing an opponent of a higher major rank, they would inevitably be defeated.

However, Dugu Bo behind him... there were almost no Spirit Masters of a higher major rank than him.

Although there were those with higher soul power cultivation than him, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena could not afford to hire them...

Therefore, the background of "Yafei" on the surface was already very powerful.

Ning Feiliu calmly took out ten Gold Soul Coins and signaled, "Help me and my partner register for a Two-on-Two Soul Fighting battle... the name shall be, Ling Yue."

"Two-on-Two Soul... Fighting?" The staff member was stunned, looking at Ning Feiliu and Ye Lingling, who had a cold expression behind him.
