Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

What? Forced pairing? So your Ancient Clan has completely given up on respectability, right? The Soul Clan on the other side would probably be pissed off.

Gu Yuan: I am the sun!

People of the ancient clan: Kindness!

This also explains why the Western Region Soul Palace is transforming into a "righteous force." Instead of trying to stop it, the Soul Palace has sent Qinghai Elder to act as a warning to those with ulterior motives. While Qinghai Elder's power isn't strong in the eyes of those larger forces, he only needs to deal with the Western Region forces. If forces from other regions were to take action, such as those possessing Dou Zun or Dou Sheng status, the Soul Clan's higher-ups would undoubtedly respond.

Therefore, only if the Double Tax Law can be smoothly implemented and run stably in the Black Horn Region will the other superpowers choose to exit. Only the small and medium-sized powers, struggling for survival, will rush to join the fray, knowing that if they're late, they'll be left with nothing. Meanwhile, the superpowers are in no rush. Their own stratum and the vast resources they possess make them unimpressed by the initial gains from the Double Tax Law. (A bit of Fujiko's implication here.)

Only when the Double Taxation Law is sufficiently stable and productivity is sufficiently robust will the superpowers begin to quietly advance. This is why, even though the Ancient Clan already knew about the Double Taxation Law and had the advantage of being close to the water, they still chose to wait and see. On the one hand, they truly did not want to get close to the Soul Clan, but on the other hand, they had the right to wait.

But among them, the Thunder Clan is special. Why is it special?

Because the Black Horn Region and even most of the Western Regions are considered to be the sphere of influence of the Thunder Clan. The Ancient Clan does not intervene because their territory is elsewhere, and if the Thunder Clan does not intervene, their territory will be developed by the Soul Clan. So no matter how much or how little, the channel of communication will be opened for the time being, and the future will be discussed later depending on the situation.

After all, they were only discussing the distribution of soul taxes within the Black Horn Territory. This experimental area was more or less irrelevant, so the Thunder Clan would just give it a try and see what it was like. However, if the technology matured enough to be widely adopted, then outside of the Black Horn Territory, the Soul Clan would naturally have to yield to the Thunder Clan on their territory. Otherwise, for a superpower like the Thunder Clan, it would only end up embarrassing everyone.

As for the Soul Clan, they are now shouldering a huge historical mission, so naturally they don't want to offend other super powers too quickly. Therefore, if they can live in peace with everyone for some time, they will try to do so for as many days as possible.

"You are here?" When Jiang Lin and his group appeared in the airspace outside the Western Region Soul Palace on the Fierce Wind Pterosaur King, an illusory figure slowly emerged from the void, and finally revealed an old man in a black robe, appearing in front of the Fierce Wind Pterosaur King.

The person who came was none other than the official leader of the Western Region Soul Palace, Elder Qinghai, who was in the late two-star Dou Zun stage.

Although the likes of Heron Guardian liked to wear platinum robes, dressing themselves up like clergymen and swindling people, for someone of Qinghai Zunlao's rank, even if his face was ferocious, he was still the wrathful Buddha. He didn't want to use external things to show off, because those who saw things with their eyes were not qualified to approach him. The people he had come into contact with were at least Dou Zong, and those were Dou Zongs with brains.

"Master Qing, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Hun Ke'er nodded slightly to Master Qinghai. The two sides had been cooperating for some time, so Hun Ke'er still respected Master Qinghai.

"Hmm, what a very interesting team." The elder Qinghai silently looked at Jiang Lin and others behind Hun Ke'er. How to say it, because the distance was close enough, he could sense the aura of other people except Jiang Lin and Hun Ke'er.

Jiang Lin needed no introduction; Jiuyou Que had already stated that his spiritual weapon's origins were influenced by his ancestor's "Spirit-Yunxian Gourd," creating a "small world" within itself, so thick that even a Dou Sheng couldn't see through it. So far, the only person whose spirit had been able to see through Jiang Lin's spirit was the Jiuyou Emperor, projected from beyond the realm. The disparity in power between the two meant that seeing through was normal, and not being able to was abnormal.

The reason why Hun Ke'er could not be seen through was very simple, that was because she was protected by the ninth-order soul weapon, the Four Swords of Evil Souls. Not to mention that Elder Qinghai could not see through her, even Hun Ke'er could use the other party to sacrifice the sword.

The Soul Master's Soul Sword already possesses the rudiments of a Spiritual Weapon, an Imperial Weapon. While other fighting weapons remain inanimate, the Four Swords of the Fierce Soul are truly living creatures, capable of automatically defending against enemies without requiring Hun Ke'er to control them! This is why the Soul Master gave Hun Ke'er the Four Swords of the Fierce Soul as his trump card. This set of Soul Swords is truly powerful, a true masterpiece of the Soul Master.

"Master Qing!" Jiang Lin and the others naturally bowed respectfully to Master Qinghai upon seeing this. They could be unruly in front of a Dou Zong master, but they still had to be humble in response to a Dou Zun's words.

No matter how much Jiang Lin cheats, he can only fight with Dou Zong with fists. As for Dou Zun, forget it, the opponent is just fists.

"Hmm." The Qinghai Elder nodded silently, his eyes sweeping over Xiao Yan (I was clearly playing Little Medical Fairy, but it always changed to Xiao Yan. Every time I wrote something ambiguous, my mind would automatically think of Xiao Yan. I'm helpless), Little Medical Fairy, Zi Yan, Gu Xun'er and the others. Finally, he nodded with emotion: "Heroes emerge from youth. The young people of your generation are extremely talented."

While Qinghai Zun Lao appeared nonchalant, he'd privately lamented countless times. As the undisputed "local emperor" of the Black Horn Territory, he knew almost everything except Gu Xun'er's identity, even Zi Yan's. He'd done many of Hun Ke'er's tasks, which was why he was waiting for her.

The group of young people in front of us are considered to be the top young generation in the entire western region of the continent. Even if they are placed in Zhongzhou, they can definitely rank among the top.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Qing." Jiang Lin and others naturally had to be humble.

Of course, if Zi Yan were to answer, given her personality, she might just say, "You old man still have some sense, don't you?"

"It's getting late, so I won't delay your journey. The continental-level space teleportation array is ready, and you can start it at any time." After a few pleasantries, the elder Qinghai led Jiang Lin and some people to the interior of the Western Region Soul Palace.

Soon, everyone was shocked by the magnificent decoration inside the Western Region Soul Temple. The reliefs and buildings carved from various white jade and gemstones, both the overall style and the decorative details, were all maximized, giving people a shocking feeling of entering a real temple.

If no one said it, then no one would really think that this is the Soul Palace?

But now the Western Region Soul Hall is indeed no longer called the 'Soul Hall'. Yes, they are now changing their name, and the corrected name is very simple and easy to understand: Holy Soul Hall!

Holy Soul Temple. Highlights the simplicity and ease of understanding.

"We are currently attempting to reshape the public's understanding of the Holy Soul Hall, and as such, we plan to launch a project called 'Holy Soul' in the future." As the Qinghai Elder led Jiang Lin and the others through the Holy Soul Hall, he explained the Hall's grand vision. "Death is still too obscure and difficult for most living beings to understand, and therefore some will always resist it."

"Only a fool would resist death!" Gu Xun'er, who was staring at the Holy Soul Hall, which looked like a temple, with an extremely tense expression, complained madly in her heart.

The Qinghai Elder simply silently explained the new business of their Holy Soul Hall in the future: "The Soul Hall's previous responsibility was to extradite the souls of the dead, but later the methods became a little outrageous. However, now, our Holy Soul Hall will still take on the responsibility of extraditing the souls of the dead, but now we will provide those great families with a new option: whether to evolve the souls of their ancestors into 'Holy Souls' to protect the family for generations."

Ancestor: You still can’t rest even after death, right?

"This shouldn't be free, right?" Gu Xun'er looked very strange. Is this still the Soul Palace she knew? Oh, it's not the Soul Palace, it's the Holy Soul Palace! What a fool! Don't think that just because you changed your vest, I can't recognize you guys!

"Of course." The Qinghai Elder nodded as a matter of course. "If you want to evolve it into a Holy Soul, you naturally need to pay a sufficient price. Then, our Holy Soul Refiners of the Holy Soul Hall will take action and purify it into a Holy Soul Weapon while preserving its spiritual intelligence as much as possible."

"In short, it can be refined into a Horcrux." Jiang Lin then summarized to Xiao Yixian and the others: "The Holy Soul Hall's weapon refiners have been researching this, so the technology is very feasible."

"Ah, this." Zi Yan's face twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this just... being eaten up by someone else."

"No." Jiang Lin shook his head and explained, "Just like some families would enshrine the spirit tablets of their ancestors, the Holy Soul Hall has simply turned the fake spirit tablets into real ones for you. You can even call them out to chat when needed."

"Ah, this." Xiao Yan and the others imagined that if someone brazenly swore in front of the ancestor's spirit tablet, and the ancestor immediately jumped out and slapped him in the face, "You are the one talking nonsense, right?!", the picture was very abstract.

"This technology is quite attractive to small and medium-sized families, because if the spirit tablet is well-maintained, the holy soul should be able to gradually become stronger, but it is very slow."

Gu Xun'er couldn't help but complain: "Who on earth would use this technology?"

Jiang Lin smiled slightly, his expression puzzled: "The audience should be large. After all, it can provide emotional value."

"Of course, I can be frank with you here. Creating a Holy Soul isn't difficult, but nurturing it is. If you don't nurture it properly, you might raise an evil spirit."

The Qinghai Elder smiled at this time, because he felt that everyone was one family, so he spoke frankly: "So we will sign an agreement. If you raise it well, then there will be no problem. But if you raise an evil spirit, then the Holy Soul Hall has the right to capture and kill it."

"Huh???" Gu Xun'er and the others opened their mouths in shock! They could actually play like this?!

In short, not all factions can afford to cultivate a Holy Soul because it requires 'Soul Purification Technology'! Or, in other words, high-quality Soul Pills! And no faction in the world can match the Soul Palace in Soul Purification technology! Except for the Spirit Craftsman, who is also considered a member of the Soul Palace, and if not, he is also the strongest in the Soul Palace.

As for the Holy Soul, how can we say that? Either the innate realm is strong, and the soul pills taken after birth are pure enough, otherwise there is a high probability that the soul body will be polluted and then turn into an evil spirit!

The Holy Soul Temple is not so unkind as to take the initiative to do something to bring harm to other people's ancestors.

But once this holy soul is raised, it's like the entire family is burdened with a debt.

Do you want to buy this high-quality soul pill from the Holy Soul Temple?

Would you like to come and enjoy the soul-purifying service of the Holy Soul Temple?

What? You can’t afford it anymore?

It’s okay, we’ll recycle it for you for free, but this also means that your previous investment will evaporate.

And

That's your ancestor.

Then just give up easily. Wouldn't you feel a little guilty about it?

Maybe that's your grandfather? The clan leader? Your parents? You've raised him for so long, are you really going to give up?

If you give up, you will really have nothing, right?

But if you don't give up, after the Holy Soul falls into evil, the evil spirits may riot and hurt the people closest to you.

Dear, we still have loans here

Family descendant (holding his head in pain): No!! Please stop talking!!!

Chapter 596 The super luxurious lineup in the Deep Sea Soul Palace!

"Damn the evil Holy Soul Temple." Zi Yan, who was outspoken, couldn't help but mutter.

In response to this, the Qinghai Elder did not show any impatience. Instead, he smiled and said, "We are not doing charity, and we are not forcing you to refine the Holy Soul."

Xiao Yan, who had been listening silently for a long time, finally couldn't help but complain with an extremely complex expression: "Actually, as long as you don't over-pursue a better life, you won't be burdened by desires and naturally won't fall into this trap. And..."

Xiao Yan's expression was strange, as he didn't know what he was thinking about. "The Holy Soul Project's service targets are generally those small and medium-sized families with some influence, so they can continuously extract the value of their labor?"

"Huh?" The Qinghai elder glanced at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with amazement: "I didn't expect this young man to know so much about this!"

"I understand a little. I understand a little." Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly. He was an eyewitness to this system in his previous life. How could he not understand it?

"Don't break their fantasy, let's go." Jiang Lin interrupted them quickly, knowing that if they continued talking, they might talk about some topics beyond the scope, and told them not to continue talking about this.

"Well, we can talk about it sometime." The Qinghai Elder nodded, and then showed goodwill to Xiao Yan. It was rare to meet someone who could understand the advanced management skills of the Holy Spirit Hall, so the Qinghai Elder's impression of Xiao Yan improved a lot.

"I will definitely do it if there's a chance." Feeling the strange gaze from Gu Xun'er beside him, Xiao Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and smile awkwardly.

Soon, after a minor incident, everyone successfully arrived at the space teleportation array in the Holy Soul Hall.

"Then I wish you all can get what you want. Then we say goodbye." The elder Qinghai smiled at Jiang Lin and others.

Everyone responded to the elder Qinghai one by one, and then Hun Keer activated the continental-level space teleportation array under her feet. The surrounding space instantly twisted and deformed, and with a swish, everyone's figures disappeared in an instant.

Elder Qinghai looked silently at the empty space teleportation array. The gentleness on his face gradually cooled down. His eyes shook slightly, a few traces of thought flashed across his eyes, and finally he shook his head slightly.

"Spiritual Craftsman Jiang Lin shouldn't have done that. I have no right to interfere in a contest between masters of that level."

In the ancient sea, deep beneath the sea, a huge blue sun slowly burns, and beneath it stands a magnificent and huge city!

Deep Sea Mermaid City!

And in the center of this ancient deep-sea city, the magnificent and huge deep-sea temple suddenly began to flash with strange light!

Then the next moment, in a special space in the Deep Sea Temple, a dazzling spatial fluctuation flashed, and the figures of Jiang Lin and his group appeared instantly!

"Where is this?" Jiang Lin, who was the first to wake up from the space teleportation, opened his eyes almost the next moment after landing, looking at everything around him vigilantly and curiously.

"It feels familiar. Hmm? I feel like I've been here before? The surrounding water energy is very strong, and there's a strange fire aura. Something's wrong. A very familiar strange fire."

Just as Jiang Lin was puzzled, Hun Ke'er also woke up instantly after Jiang Lin. She first looked at Jiang Lin with some surprise, who woke up earlier than her, then turned around to look at the people sitting on the ground, still unable to recover for a long time, and explained softly: "Don't guess, you have been to the Blue Mermaid Clan's homeland, the Blue Sun Deep Sea City, the Mermaid Temple, or rather, the Deep Sea Soul Temple."

As the three giants of the ancient sea that are outside the mainstream world, the suppression of this side by the Soul Clan and the Spirit Clan can be described as inhumane. When you think about the fact that these mermaids, sharks, and whales are not human beings, the word "inhumane" is not appropriate.

However, as a foreign race with weak power, they were not destroyed by the ancient imperial clan, which can be considered a victory.

The Three Clans of the Ancient Sea: You are the alien race!!!

For example, the Mermaid Temple of the Azure Mermaid Clan is essentially the Deep Sea Soul Temple, which was jointly developed by the Spirit Clan and the Soul Clan. In essence, many of the Soul Temple's technological prototypes on the Douqi Continent were first tried out in the Ancient Sea, and only if they were deemed good would they be put on the Douqi Continent.

"Were we teleported directly to their home?" Jiang Lin was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He knew the Soul Palace's dominance in the Ancient Sea, but he didn't know how domineering it was.

"This place was originally one of the Soul Palace's strongholds." Hun Ke'er just said silently.

She wasn't much older than Jiang Lin, and if you were to be a bit more relaxed, Hun Ke'er could be considered Jiang Lin's contemporary. Hun Ke'er had heard a lot of information from others or read it in books.

Even so, Hun Ke'er could understand how brutal the ancient imperial clan's methods were.

In fact, it can’t be considered as tyranny. It can only be said that the three tribes of the ancient sea have no human rights and no animal rights.

The "beast power" on the Douqi Continent was fought for by the ninth-level sacred beasts of the Beast Domain and Dragon Island. Therefore, the human race and the beast race on the Douqi Continent are relatively rule-abiding. At least both sides have to abide by certain tacit understandings and unspoken rules.

The Ancient Imperial Clan is completely a celestial dragon clan on the side of the Ancient Sea. The Three Holy Clans of the Ancient Sea are weak and outnumbered. The Ancient Imperial Clan may not have the mind to actively cause trouble, but if the Three Clans of the Ancient Sea do not know how to be humble, then don't complain about the feelings of the Ancient Imperial Clan.

Soon, while Hun Ke'er was talking to Jiang Lin, Zi Yan hummed and suddenly woke up. After a while, Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er, Xiao Yixian and others also woke up one after another.

"How far have we been teleported? The negative pressure in space is so strong." Gu Xun'er held her aching head and sighed.

"On the back of the world, there is the Ancient Sea." Hun Keer saw that everyone had woken up, so she began to introduce the situation of the Ancient Sea to everyone.

After a while, Xiao Yan and the others looked at each other in surprise when they heard that their location was very far away from the Dou Qi Continent. It seemed that they had arrived at an extraordinary place?
