Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 17 Design Drawing

"Ok?"

Just as Tang San absorbed the second soul ring and was about to leave, suddenly, a faint light appeared not far away.

Tang San immediately activated the Purple Demon Pupil. In a pile of fallen leaves not far away, there seemed to be something reflecting light. If Tang San had not cultivated the Purple Demon Pupil to a level close to the pinnacle of total vision, he would have found it difficult to detect this subtle reflection.

Tang San's feet were as fast as the wind, and he was like a ghost. In a few flashes, he came to the pile of fallen leaves. He waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away the fallen leaves on the ground, revealing a huge stone slab.

Seeing the huge stone slab covered by fallen leaves, Tang San also came to his senses. This should be the Mandrill Cave that the soul masters just mentioned.

He originally didn't know that the mandrill had such a habit. It has to be said that the world of soul masters is a place where blessings and disasters go hand in hand.

"This is interesting. There happened to be a piece of ore falling nearby." Tang San bent down and picked up the small reflective fragments on the ground. He guessed that it was dropped by the mandrill when it was moving the ore back.

Although Tang San enjoys the assets and income of Haotian Sect, now that he has discovered the treasure, there is no reason not to move it back. The capitalists have no surplus food.

As the shout fell, Tang San grabbed the edge and exerted force suddenly. After possessing the second soul ring, his physical strength became several times stronger, and he overturned the huge stone slab in an instant.

After sensing a cave, Tang San took out a soul guide similar to a flashlight from his storage ring soul guide, which would emit light after injecting soul power.

With the help of the flashlight soul guide, Tang San finally saw the cave up close.

The entrance to the cave is quite spacious and looks quite mysterious.

There are many scratches around the cave entrance. Some of the scratches are very new, as if left by mandrills when they were moving ore. Some of the scratches are very old, as if they were carved by humans.

"These scratches are neat but disorganized, as if someone is practicing something." Tang San walked and looked at some scribbled marks on the wall. He always felt that he seemed to have seen these marks somewhere.

As Tang San's fingertips slid across the cave wall, the Purple Demon Pupil suddenly shrank in the darkness. He suddenly remembered why he felt familiar. Those grooves that were mistaken for natural lines were very similar to some of the lines on the soul guide.

"This is not the lair of soul beasts. Could there be something related to soul guides in this cave?" Tang San's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Soul guides have always been a mystery. It seemed as if the history of soul guides had been erased by some force. Even the Tiandou Royal Family and the Spirit Hall in the entire Douluo Continent did not know the origin of soul guides, nor did they know how to make them.

And the strangest thing is that no offensive soul guide has been found in the entire Douluo Continent so far. All soul guides have no destructive power. This is incredible for Tang San, a craftsman who is proficient in forging hidden weapons.

How could a soul guide, a tool that can absorb and transform soul power, not have offensive power? But where did the offensive soul guide go?

Tang San circulated the soul power in his body and injected it into these scratches, but the soul guide patterns on the wall were obviously incomplete and the soul power could not be transmitted at all.

"There should be something inside. I hope it won't be destroyed by the mandrill." Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk deeper.

Tang San's biggest fear was that the Mountain-Moving Demon, while moving ore, might accidentally damage something inside the cave, which would be a huge loss. However, to Tang San's dismay, he was too late.

The scene deep in the cave suffocated Tang San. Embedded in the rock wall deep in the cave was a fragmented unknown soul guide. It was not difficult to see from the opened stone box on the ground that this soul guide should have been kept in the box, and was finally thrown heavily against the wall by the moving baboon, causing it to break.

The surface of the unknown soul guide was covered with dense blue silver grass vines, proving that these soul guides had been destroyed for some time. The metal shell was torn into hideous cracks by the claws of the mandrill, revealing the suffocatingly precise internal structure.

Tang San walked to the smashed stone box, brushed his fingertips across the surface of the stone box, and the touch of his black jade hand revealed that there were some uneven patterns on the surface of the stone box.

"This pattern is somewhat similar to the Nine Palace Plum Blossom Lock of the ancient Tang Sect in the picture of the soul guide." Tang San's eyes showed a trace of solemnity, and then his black jade hand tapped the surface of the stone box, and a special sound came out.

There is a secret compartment at the bottom of this stone box!

The intricate Nine Palaces Plum Blossom Lock mechanism was originally used by the Tang Clan to keep top secrets. When he stole, no, when Tang San stole the design drawings of the Tang Clan's Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus from that soul guide, he cracked the Nine Palaces Plum Blossom Lock mechanism. This memory was also recorded in the lotus soul guide so he knew some of it.

There was a creaking sound of a mechanism turning, and Tang San moved the hidden mechanism little by little. With a click, the bottom of the stone box popped open, and inside lay a yellowed design drawing.

Because it was so long ago, the design drawing had been severely oxidized when it was opened, and the font inside had long been blurred, with only fragments left to be seen.

"The energy circuit is improved by drawing soul guide patterns. What does this mean? Why does this lotus pattern look a bit like the Tang Sect's Buddha's Wrath Lotus?"

Seeing this blueprint, Tang San's breathing became heavy, and his Purple Demon Eyes swept over it, not missing a single trace. But unfortunately, this blueprint existed too long ago, and the paper quickly oxidized after contact with the air, and soon turned into ash.

"Alas, what a pity, it's been too long." Tang San had no choice. This natural oxidation phenomenon could not be stopped by soul power.

Tang San picked up the lighting soul guide and walked to the soul guide that was smashed by the mandrill. Now was obviously not the time to study it properly. His soul power surged and he opened the storage ring soul guide. He packed up the entire soul guide, even the fragments and gravel on the ground, and the stone box, and took them away, intending to go back and study them slowly.

"Take these ores with you as well."

Tang San took a look at the ores that were brought in by the mandrills, and packed them all up and took them away. He searched the entire cave thoroughly before leaving. After all, he had taken these ores with his own hands, so of course he wanted them all.

Tang San's harvest this time was very rich. Not only did he obtain the second soul ring, but his second martial soul was almost awakened. He also got a broken ancient soul guide. It was absolutely a big gain.

A few days later, Tang San returned to Haotian City smoothly. After returning, Tang San did not go to the auction or the fighting arena but returned to Haotian Sect.

Not to mention when Tang San entered Haotian City, even when Tang San left the Sunset Forest, the members of the Min clan immediately discovered it and sent back the news.

"Son, how is it? Did everything go well?" Seeing his son return safely, Tang Hao laughed. In fact, even without asking, he knew that Tang San would succeed in hunting spirit rings.
