Never did he expect that not having\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a Seed of Life and that strange Soul Mark, which was sealed up in his seventh\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>brain region, were actually traits unique to a true Spiritualist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen looked at Xia Fei and spoke in all seriousness. “Remember: We are’t\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritualists or Soul practitioners; we are Orthodox Spiritualists! We embody\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the word ‘orthodox’ more than everyone else and are of a different echelon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from the other existences in this universe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like how soul practitioners are split into the two paths of soul hunting\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and soul eating, we, Spiritualists, have our differences as well. The Soul Mark\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in your seventh brain region right now is called the Unrestricted Soul Spirit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>able to utilize both spirit and soul-type arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are very, very few who have this sort of Unrestricted Soul Spirit Mark,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so you need to cherish your good luck and don’t belittle yourself, much less\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>learning parlor tricks from some insignificant Spiritualist who hardly had any\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>descendants to speak of. What even is this Feather Spirit Codex? If any other\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orthodox Spiritualists were to learm of this, you’d surely become the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>laughingstock of the century to them! Besides, what you had isn’t even the real\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feather Spirit Codex, just a little handbook they give to outsiders. It’s\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>practically worthless; only you would treat it as a treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei was left speechless. Though he also thought that the Feather Spirit\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Codex was not an inheritance, for something like that would not be so easily\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gifted to an outsider, Xia Fei simply could not fathom why Fuchen had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>described the Feather Spirit Codex as garbage. HAving personally tested it out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it could not truly be considered terrible. Without it, he would not have been\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>able to create the soul weapon, Eight Tunes Golden Falcon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was when Fei Xingye entered the great hall alone, closing the doors\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>behind him. He proceeded to take out a soul weapon from his spatial ring with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shaky hands. Judging from its appearance, this soul vessel was an ax about half\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a meter long. What should have been a fairly decent soul weapon had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unfortunately been reduced to trash because there was a split right down the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>middle from the soul power backlash it experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor, you must save us, Feis. This is the only soul weapon of quality,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which has been passed down through generations, in our family. For a family\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of soul practitioners to be without a decent soul weapon, I’m afraid that we’ll\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>die sooner or later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye beseeched, tearful and looking wretched. He actually knelt on the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>floor again, causing Old Fuchen to somewhat remark testily, “I already told you\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that I had specially made the trip out here to help your family. Do you doubt\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>my words? It’s just a grade 3 soul weapon, not even reaching intermediate\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>grade. Repairing it will hardly take any effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye got up, incessantly expressing his gratitude as he did. Fuchen made\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>him exit the main hall first, leaving just him, Xia Fei, and that soul weapon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are grades to soul weapons. This Green Glare Ax of Soul Hunting is\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>barely grade 3 and can only be considered decent in the Alpha Universe’s core\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>regions. Xia Fei, are you able to repair this ax?” asked Fuchen with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei frowned, ruminating over the proposition for several minutes. The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>repairing of a soul weapon required a sufficient reserve of spirits. The Fei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>family’s manor hardly had any spirit energy source, and there were only a few\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>souls stored in Xia Fel’s seventh brain region. While they were deemed as soul\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>power source, they could not be used to repair soul weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can give it a shot if there’s any spirit energy source around, but all I have is\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>soul power right now, so I don’t think I can repair this soul weapon.” Xia Fei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gave a straightforward and simple answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen grinned, rather pleased with himself. “I knew that you’re lacking in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>terms of your cultivation. We, Spiritualists, not only need to keep a reserve of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>soul power but also spirit energy. If you want to be an accomplished\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritualist, you must learn how to use these two systems of power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>interchangeably. You’re just a beginner, so there are still plenty of things you\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>have to learn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen asked, “Then can you tell where this soul weapon’s damage lies and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what method must be used to repair it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei answered without missing a beat. “While this soul weapon’s damaged\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>part appears to be that split shaft, that’s truly not the case. What’s actually\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>causing this soul weapon to be so unusable is the damage it sustained in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>vein. With this vein transmitting power severed, the only solution is to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>reconnect it. The ax will then automatically heal itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the method of repair, I think that flooding it with spirit energy will do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the trick. All soul weapons have veins inside, and they’re densely packed like a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spider’s web. If I were to connect each of them one by one, it’d take a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not worth the effort. Since it’s damaged, why not just flood it with spirit\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>energy? Even if every vein fails to connect, it’ll still create a brand -new energy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>connection. This isn’t a bad outcome, for the shaft is the only thing that’s not\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>functioning. As long as the energy can keep flowing inside a soul weapon, the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>amount of veins connecting will hardly be an issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen was startled. Xia Fei’s idea was truly bold: Not connecting all the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>energy veins but creating a new vein in the soul weapon to channel the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like that, not only could he circumvent the complex energy system, the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>combat strength of the soul weapon would not be reduced, either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was akin to walking on a path. If there was no way to tread the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>conventional path, then build a bridge over it, and the issue of traffic\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>congestion could be avoided, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen sneaked a peek at Xia Fei. The former found the latter’s whimsical idea\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to be very refreshing. Perhaps it was because he had been taught by his master\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>since young, but Fuchen was someone who carefully kept to the rules in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everything he did despite his fairly wild and uninhibited nature. He was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>completely different from Xia Fei, a Sspiritualist who had appeared from out of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nowhere. This young man was bold enough to think outside the box and do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>anything he saw fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen chuckled and thought that Xia Fei was truly very interesting, thinking\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>inwardly, ‘shall I give his method a try? If I fail, r’ just compensate the Fei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>family with another grade 3 soul weapon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It actually worked?!” Fuchen shook his head in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen had followed Xia Fei’s line of thinking and spent five minutes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>completing the repair. He first gathered spirit energy from his seventh brain\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>region, and once he had judged that the amount was sufficient, he promptly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>flooded the damaged soul weapon with it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a brand-new vein formed inside the soul weapon, then the Green\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glare Ax of Soul Hunting gave off a blinding light. The break point was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>repaired, thhe soul weapon now restored how it used to be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This.” Fuchen, who felt that he did not have enough brainpower to process\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what had just happened, muttered, “so this method works, too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei took that ax from Fuchen’s hands, swung it a few times, testing the soul\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>power within, and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a system of circulation, so no\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>need to make things so complicated. Don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen froze for a moment before hurriedly saying, “That’s right. You and I\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>share the same line of thinking here. Since creating a new connection sufficed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there’s no need to mess with the complex veins. It’s better to just seal all of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>them and create an entirely new pathway. The time and energy used doing it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this way became a lot less as a result.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling Fei Xingye in, Fuchen handed back the Green Glare Ax of Soul Hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was already weeping upon seeing the repaired soul weapon, his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>voice trembling in excitement, “Ancestor lives up to his name! It’s barely been\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a few minutes, and you managed to save the life of the entire Fei family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen casually dismissed the praise when, really, he had been thinking all\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>along that, if not for Xia Fe?’s suggestion, he might have to spend several days\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>repairing the said soul weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Fuchen thought about it, the more interested in Xia Fei he got, and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the eyes he used to look at Xia Fei had now become filled with appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it’s getting late; Ive used up a lot of energy.” Fuchen acted al tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Fei Lingyi was still alive, he once obtained a pair of Pearl Emerald\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo Shoots. If you still have that pair, serve it up quickly; itll help nourish\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this elder’s body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, Fuchen would talk about food every chance he got. He had just finished\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>repairing the soul weapon, yet he was already starting to ask for precious\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ingredients just to satisfy his cravings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye was slightly taken aback, but he soon laughed. “Of course! The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ancestor helped the Fei family immensely, so forget the Pearl Emerald Bamboo\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoots, even if you asked for our entire estate, that would be an appropriate\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compensation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen chuckled and then instructed Fei Xingye to prepare two types of cuisine\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>using that pair of bamboo shoots, with one being soup and the other being a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>palate-cleansing cold dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising an eyebrow mischievously at Xia Fei, Fuchen salivated as he said, “So,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>are you keen on sharing this tasty blessing with me? Pearl Emerald Bamboo\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoot is basically a top-grade ingredient among ingredients, and itll be very\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>beneficial for the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei could not help but laugh. Indeed, Fuchen was no ordinary immortal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>being far too keen in his pursuit of good food. Fei Xingye busied himself with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>taking notes of Fuchen’s requested preparation method for the ingredients,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and he managed to write a dozen pages worth of instruction; it was very likely\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that actual preparation would be a lot more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye carefully stowed away the soul weapon but did not leave just yet. He\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>asked with a glum expression on his face, “Ancestor, I1l definitely have my\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cooks do their best to prepare the Pearl Emerald Bamboo Shoots as you\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>requested. It’s just that, although you managed to repair the soul weapon, my\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pitiful grandson is still unconscious. If you could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen was stunned as he spoke in a severe tone. “What’s this?! Fei Haizhen\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>has lost consciousness?! When did this happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye answered, “My grandson Fei Haizhen lost that fight, and his soul\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>weapon got ruined. That’s when he lost consciousness. Ancestor did manage to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>repair the soul weapon earlier, but my grandson\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen frowned. “Quick, bring me over so thatI can take a look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Backyard, in a separate room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Fei and Fuchen went to see the heavily injured Soul Hunter, Fei Haizhen\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd of servant ladies were presently attending to him, turning his body\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from time to time, cleaning him. Fei Haizhen was doing nothing aside from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>breathing, and even his eyes were not moving. It seemed as though he were\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just a block of wood. What had once been a powerful figure was now lying in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bed paralyzed, gradually weakening as time went by; his face even sported\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>many wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen did not say a word. He promptly chased away all the help and sat at the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bedside, carefully inspecting Fei Haizhen’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What silliness! Your grandson only has two Soul Marks and can hardly use the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Glare Ax of Soul Hunting. In the end, he forcibly bonded his life with it;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that in itself is a great taboo! Since the soul weapon was ruined, your grandson\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suffered from the backlash!” explained Fuchen sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye knelt once more, pleading in pitiful voice, “My grandson has always\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>been eager to do well in everything he set himself to. This time, he clearly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knew that he had no hope of winning in that fight, but his desire to risk it all\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>resulted in him bonding with the Green Glare Ax of Soul Hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what it takes, on account of our forefather and this ancestor’s fated\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bond, I beseech the esteemed elder to save my grandson’s life! I heard that a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritualist of your rank could mend a person’s soul. If you’re unwilling to lend\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a hand, my grandson will surely have difficulty getting out of his current\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>predicament!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bonding was an interaction between a soul weapon and its owner, just like how\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hosu was with his Overcast Wind Mace, making it impossible for one to part\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ways with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefit of forming such a bond was a more secure connection between the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>weapon and the owner, able to react at a deeper level with each other, but the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>drawbacks were also very obvious. The moment the soul weapon got\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>destroyed, the owner would also experience physical destruction. Fei Haizhen\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>being in a comatose state now because of a soul weapon backlash was a good\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>example of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuchen sighed as he explained with a grim expression, “It’s not that I’m\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unwilling to save your grandson’s life; it’s just that soul mending requires a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritualist of Healing. That’s something I can’t help you with even though I\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>very much want to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Xingye was still crying, creating this very morose atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was when Radix quipped, “Did he say healing? Xia Fei, aren’t you a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritualist of Healing?\u003C\u002Fp>",2320,"2026-06-06T11:20:55.112Z",1,"novelbin.me","c1ab691d976b3e06b7685452f0d159f6d28864f22b52fb4b1f9386231fd91d7b","super-gene-optimization-fluid-chapter-1049","super-gene-optimization-fluid-chapter-1047",1634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-gene-optimization-fluid-cover.jpg"]
