Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qi Dao used his fifth soul skill to absorb all the rare metals piled up like a mountain. This was the first time he had absorbed such a large quantity of rare metals, and it would take him one or two months to fully absorb and digest them.

Of course, compared to improving the quality of one's martial soul, one or two months is insignificant.

Qi Dao was curious about what level the quality of the Peerless Sword would be elevated after absorbing all these rare metals.

It should be noted that the Peerless Sword is now of far superior quality to a six-winged angel of the same level.

After absorbing the rare metals, Qi Dao then went to take over the wealth and fortune of Miles and the others.

By reselling rare metals and embezzling funds allocated by Qian Renxue, the group amassed a fortune of no less than three million gold soul coins.

And this doesn't even include the wealth that Miles and others presented as tribute to the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop Sila and other high-ranking officials.

Fortunately, Miles kept a ledger that clearly recorded which important figures in the Spirit Hall he had paid tribute to.

This gave Qi Dao quite a pleasant surprise.

When Qian Renxue wants to reorganize the Spirit Hall, he can clean up the list one by one according to the ledger.

As for Miles and his group's net worth of three million gold soul coins...

For Qi Dao, money is just a number; he has no interest in it.

He will hand over this money to Qian Renxue for arrangement, whether it is used to provide relief to disaster victims or for other purposes, as long as it can play a role.

After doing all this, the two remaining Soul Kings of the Martial Soul Main Hall in Gengxin City hurriedly requested an audience.

The two men bowed respectfully, and one of them reported to Qi Dao: "My lord, according to your standards, seventeen out of the remaining twenty-seven Soul Masters deserved to die and have already been executed by your subordinates."

"Of the remaining ten Soul Masters, six have committed crimes and their property will be confiscated."

"There are four other people who are of good character, but Miles does not like them. However, considering that the four of them are responsible for the thankless task of awakening martial souls for civilians, Miles does not do anything to them."

Qi Dao scoffed after hearing this.

"I never imagined that someone of upright character and high moral standards would be ostracized here."

Upon hearing this, the two men blushed and looked slightly embarrassed.

But their thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the past, to a time when they were just like those four young people.

They were naive and noble back then; now they are experienced but despicable.

Seeing the two remain silent, Qi Dao calmly asked, "What positions do these four currently hold in the Martial Soul Main Hall of Gengxin City?"

One of them respectfully replied, "My lord, there are three people whose levels range from level 20 to 30, serving as junior stewards, and another person whose level is as high as level 43, serving as a mid-level steward."

The deacons of the Spirit Hall are divided into three levels: junior, intermediate, and senior. Above the deacons is the Black-Clad Bishop.

The Black Cardinal must at least reach the level of Soul Emperor to be eligible for the position; otherwise, he cannot command respect.

The two people standing in front of Qi Dao were high-ranking deacons of the Martial Soul Main Hall of Gengxin City.

Qi Dao glanced at the two men and then said, "The Spirit Hall is fair in its rewards and punishments. The four of you have made merits and committed no wrongdoings. Your positions will be promoted one level, and you will be rewarded with five thousand gold spirit coins."

Qi Dao didn't offer too many rewards, otherwise it would only arouse envy, and once he left, there was no guarantee that someone would take the risk.

Of course, five thousand gold soul coins is a huge sum of money for four great soul masters and soul lords.

Especially once you reach the Soul Master level, you can no longer receive subsidies, which is equivalent to cutting off a large source of income.

After Qi Dao finished speaking, the two men in front of him immediately cupped their hands and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Qi Dao waved his hand casually.

"The appointments of the four men and the new bishops will be announced soon."

"During this period, you two are responsible for stabilizing the current situation of the Martial Soul Main Hall in Gengxin City and making amends for your mistakes."

The two men immediately knelt on one knee and solemnly said, "We will certainly make amends for our mistakes and not disappoint you, sir!"

Qi Dao nodded slightly upon seeing this.

...

The next day, when Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong got up, they were still unaware of the great thing Qi Dao had done.

On the contrary, the city of Gengxin was in an uproar.

Miles and the others also have relatives and families, so they inevitably learned that Miles and the others had been tried by important figures in the Spirit Hall.

When the news spread, countless ordinary people and soul masters applauded, and it even alarmed the city lord's mansion and the blacksmith's association.

Lou Gao and the others subconsciously connected the dots to Qi Dao, speculating that Qi Dao might have stormed the Martial Soul Main Hall of Gengxin City for rare metals.

However, after learning that the person who killed Miles and the others was a big shot from the Spirit Hall, he gave up the idea.

How could the peerless king of the mighty Heaven Dou Empire possibly be a big shot in the Spirit Hall?

However, Lou Gao and the others couldn't help but sigh.

These past few days have been quite lively in Gengxin City, with the Peerless King and important figures from the Spirit Hall arriving in droves.

However, the actions of this mysterious figure from the Spirit Hall impressed them.

Miles and his group's actions had instilled a certain prejudice in them towards the Spirit Hall, but the actions of this mysterious figure from the Spirit Hall were both incredibly satisfying and surprising.

So it turns out the Spirit Hall isn't all bad after all!

Of course, this is a great thing for them.

After all, Miles had caused the Blacksmith Association a lot of trouble in the past, and he didn't even take those Soul Saints seriously.

Just as the reputation of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City was beginning to recover, many people were speculating about the identity of that mysterious figure from the Spirit Hall.

Qi Dao and his three companions stood in the courtyard, with ores of varying sizes laid out before them.

These ores may look ordinary, but they hold hidden secrets within.

With a thought, Qi Dao's body was surrounded by sword intent, and he pointed forward. Countless fine, thread-like sword intents surged onto one of the ore pieces, and then, under the watchful eyes of Dugu Yan and the others, began to rapidly break down the stone coating on the surface of the ore.

As the sword intent sliced ​​off the small pieces of stone, the metal inside the ore was immediately exposed to the gazes of the group.

Hundreds of kilograms of black iron.

A sheet of gold foil, about the size of a human head, with extremely high purity.

The most precious item was undoubtedly a piece of Cold Heart Iron Essence weighing several hundred kilograms.

If Qi Dao's guess is correct, this piece of Cold Heart Iron Essence should be the same one from the original novel.

The value of Cold Heart Iron Essence is ten times that of Black Iron, but it is extremely rare to find it for sale on the market.

Unless you're completely clueless!

In addition, there were five or six tons of various rare metals of comparable quality to black iron.

This also explains why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became the wealthiest sect in the world.

Qi Dao looked at Ning Rongrong and said sincerely, "Miss Ning, you've been a great help to me!"

Ning Rongrong blinked and teased, "It's my honor to be able to help you, Lord Wushuang."

At this moment, Dugu Yan suddenly spoke up: "Adao, Rongrong has helped you so much on this trip, we can't just leave without saying anything."

"Why don't you pick out a precious herb from Grandpa's herb garden and give it to Rongrong as a thank-you gift?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's heart began to pound.

Her intuition told her that the moment to change her destiny was just around the corner!
