Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 87 Technical Exchange in Wuhun City, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo

Separation is for a better reunion. The five-year promise is approaching, and everyone has their own path to follow, preparing for the reunion.

……

Wuhun City, the main city of the Wuhun Hall, is one of the three most magnificent cities on the continent.

Three years later, Ikehira stepped into this city again.

Without concealing his identity, Chi Ping simply covered up his Life Divine Mark and then, like everyone else, submitted his Soul Master's Notes, entering the city openly and legitimately as a Soul Emperor.

People are forgetful.

Everyone has to work hard to make a living. Three years ago, the Shrek Academy team truly shocked everyone. But after three years of silence, although Chi Ping's appearance hasn't changed much, very few people can recognize him.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and very few shops. However, most of the shops sold items that Soul Masters needed, and some even sold Soul Tools with spatial storage capabilities.

As I walked out of a soul tool shop, Ikehira couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

"There are so many soul tools here!"

Wuhun City is entirely under the management of the Spirit Hall. To be able to open a shop here, one either needs a powerful backer or is simply a subordinate of the Spirit Hall.

The store sells an unusually wide variety of soul tools!

Although, apart from the unearthed antiques, none of the newly created soul tools exceeded level 4, they still aroused Chi Ping's strong interest.

Level 4 soul tools are the area he is currently researching and advancing. The five soul tools given to him by Xue Qinghe are nearing completion, and his gains in Wuhun City will help his subsequent research proceed more smoothly.

Walking down the street, Chi Ping began to think about how to acquire this knowledge about soul tools.

"Exchange? Or collaboration? What do I have to offer?"

—Self-created soul skills, Qi and blood, intuition, mycelium, basic knowledge of organized soul tools, Dragon Abyss Boat technology, Tree of Life species...

His gaze gradually shifted to the left side of his body, landing on his arm.

"Soul-guided limbs and combat puppets seem to be a bargaining chip that can be exchanged."

The following day, Ikehira used his skills and expertise to pave the way and successfully found merchants and artisans willing to exchange ideas and learn from him.

……

The entry registration system of Wuhun City will eventually submit the entry list to the Papal Palace. This system contains a list of individuals of high interest to the Wuhun Hall, such as representatives of various factions, powerful lone soul masters, and genius soul masters.

Once someone on the list enters the city, the news must be reported to higher authorities as quickly as possible.

There is no doubt that all eight members of the Shrek Academy team from the Elite Tournament that year were on the roster.

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibidon was in a terrible headache.

Couldn't they have just kept quiet and waited for her to find an effective way to control herself? Why did she have to jump out now!

Although it was certain that Chi Ping would not easily resort to such a catastrophic method, Bibi Dong did not dare to act rashly.

Even if a good person gets hold of the nuclear button, it's still a nuclear button!

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, go and deal with this kid."

Bibi Dong was not the only one in the hall at this time; Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also present.

The two men exchanged glances. Yue Guan coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, we are not entirely confident in capturing this kid. If he goes berserk, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Bibi Dong glared at him. "Just find a way to get rid of him."

"yes!"

……

Storage soul tools are not part of the same system as other soul tools; they involve spatial theory.

The materials used are special, the core inscription is special, and the carving technique is also special.

Even with Chi Ping's strong learning ability and his foundation in level 3 soul tools, it still took him five days to understand the basic principles of storage soul tools, and he was still far from being able to use them in practice.

But Ikehira will not give up learning.

After these past few days of research, he realized that the storage soul tool might be helpful in his research on the space compression technology of the Dragon Abyss Ship, a technology he greatly coveted.

It was midnight, and the hotel was brightly lit.

Chi Ping was writing furiously in his notebook.

He couldn't stay in Wuhun City for too long.

Even with silver mushrooms, spreading the mycelium throughout the entire Star Luo Empire in less than two years would be an incredibly difficult task.

Therefore, Chi Ping planned to quickly record the storage soul tool technology and then study it during the journey.

—Inscriptions that draw energy from space, inscriptions that open up space, inscriptions that stabilize space… Hmm?

A sudden realization dawned on me.

Chi Ping naturally stopped writing, closed his notebook, and, following his senses, got up and opened the balcony door.

"I knew it, this kid could spot us."

A soft, feminine voice rang out, and Chrysanthemum Douluo in white and Ghost Douluo in black entered the room from outside the balcony.

"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, Your Excellency Ghost Douluo!" Chi Ping bowed slightly to show his respect, then straightened up, looked at the two, and smiled, "It's been a long time."

Chi Ping's respect did not put the two of them at ease; on the contrary, it heightened their vigilance.

In their eyes, Chi Ping was a lawless madman, a madman who dared to threaten the Pope with the destruction of three provinces. His sudden politeness must be part of a conspiracy!

"What are you doing in Wuhun City!" Yue Guan stared intently at Chi Ping, his senses fully activated, and questioned him.

Although he felt confident that he could easily defeat Chi Ping, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Seeing the two of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Chi Ping suddenly realized that he might have gone a bit too far back then.

But there's no going back on what's done, and Ikehira doesn't regret his decision.

He cupped his hands in greeting, "Seniors, I have come to Wuhun City to resolve our past grievances."

"resentment?"

"Back then, the Spirit Hall sent people to ambush and kill me and my companions, and afterwards I threatened the Spirit Hall."

I hope to resolve this grudge with the Spirit Hall and let it go.

I can understand the Spirit Hall's decision as a force, but I also hope that the Spirit Hall can understand my actions in order to protect my companions.

From this day forward, all past grievances between the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy are wiped clean! Shrek Academy welcomes exchanges and learning with the Spirit Hall for mutual progress.

Chi Ping spoke earnestly, with a firm tone and a calm demeanor, which was convincing.

Before the Pope's Palace, he made a promise to welcome anyone from across the continent who was interested in studying at Shrek Academy, regardless of their status.

Of the three major powers on the continent, the two empires have no conflict with Shrek Academy, only the Spirit Hall and the academy have some grudges. Chi Ping doesn't want this to affect the academy's neutral stance. With his methods, absolute neutrality is the only position that can ensure a peaceful existence.

Chi Ping's suggestion left Yue Guan and Gui Mei baffled. They had never met someone who so easily let go of grudges before, but they really didn't want to clash with Chi Ping, this scoundrel.

"Only His Holiness the Pope can decide this," Yue Guan said.

Chi Ping cupped his hands in greeting, "I would be grateful if you two seniors could inform the Pope."

Yue Guan nodded, finding it pleasant to hear Chi Ping address him as "senior" repeatedly.

"We will."

After finishing their business, Yue Guan Gui Mei left.

Ikehira continued writing in his notes.

……

Two days later, Yue Guan came to the hotel and led Chi Ping to the Papal Palace.
