From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 282 Qian Daoliu: What a coincidence, my wish is world peace (physics)! [Please subscribe!]

After chatting with Qian Daoliu for a while, the two met with the three remaining members of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well: Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and Dugu Bo.

"These are the Philosopher's Stones. I have inscribed my soul skills onto these stones. You can think of them as a kind of soul tool."

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Chen Hong kept taking out one Philosopher's Stone after another from his pocket and burying them under the roots of those immortal herbs.

Because the Philosopher's Stone contains a certain amount of soul power, it can run on its own for a long time without the chaotic will of the immortal herb actively activating it.

"Because these immortal herbs have too weak a will, they may not be able to actively recharge the Philosopher's Stone. Therefore, the seniors who remain at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well need to recharge the Philosopher's Stone beneath these immortal herbs every once in a while. At this power, one charge is expected to last for a week. As long as the seniors can recharge these Philosopher's Stones once a week, they can rest."

"Of course, once these immortal herbs grow a bit bigger and officially transform into White Realm plant soul beasts, then the seniors won't need to worry about them anymore. Under the instinct of living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, they will use their roots to embrace the Philosopher's Stone and charge it themselves."

After hearing Chen Hong's explanation, Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, and Dugu Bo all nodded vigorously, indicating that they would definitely not let this heavy responsibility down.

Lion Douluo: Chen Hong told me to check on it once a week? How can that be? I must check it every five days to be worthy of this job of guarding the immortal herb!

Guangling Douluo: Five days? Fourth Brother (Guangling is the Fifth Elder) why are you so lazy?! I will check every three days!

Dugu Bo: Uh. You guys have already put it this way. If I didn't say I'd check every day, would I be unable to hang out with you guys?

Perhaps even Chen Hong himself didn't expect that involution is something that exists worldwide.

Only Qian Daoliu asked a slightly more substantial question: "Soul tools? If soul skills can be transformed into soul tools, then can offensive soul skills also be transformed into offensive soul tools? For example, the light-based soul skills of Fifth Brother and the others, which could then be transformed into light-based soul tools?"

Qian Daoliu's question undoubtedly reminded the others, and so everyone cast expectant glances at Chen Hong, who was burying the Philosopher's Stone below.

"." Chen Hong first buried the Philosopher's Stone in his hand under the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. With a thought, he activated the Philosopher's Stone, and immediately, the surrounding spiritual power of heaven and earth began to converge towards the Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

Chen Hong stood up, avoiding the surrounding energy vortexes, before asking, "But senior, besides escalating battles between Soul Masters, does this have any other effect?"

Chen Hong's question startled Qian Daoliu and the others. Qian Daoliu wanted to say something, but then he thought that soul-guided weapons didn't seem to have any obvious advantages over disadvantages for the Spirit Hall's future "greatness again" plan.

On the contrary, soul tools are tools that can enhance the combat power of lower-level soul masters, which is somewhat disadvantageous to the Spirit Hall, which controls the highest combat power group in Douluo Continent.

For example, if their high-level Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall showed up together, the opponent would lose their will to fight and be defeated by them.

However, once the Pandora's box of soul-guided weapons was opened, although the Technology Chamber of Commerce's technology was undoubtedly the most advanced, soul-guided weapons were merely icing on the cake for the Spirit Hall, but a lifeline for the two great empires. Regardless of how powerful the soul-guided weapons the two empires needed, just possessing them, even the most basic ones, could inflict unnecessary casualties on the Spirit Hall with a simple explosion.

As for completely monopolizing soul-guided weapons, that's unrealistic. If your Technology Chamber of Commerce dares to monopolize soul-guided weapons today, are you planning to rebel tomorrow?

The Spirit Hall still has room for development and is not yet prepared to engage in a chaotic war with the two great empires.

In particular, if Qian Daoliu were given five to ten years to get the soul power crystal core sorted out, he might even think that there would be no need to fight a war. He could simply visit the capitals of the two great empires and the front lines, and the Douluo Continent would become very peaceful.

Why didn't Qian Daoliu do this before? It's because, before he came into contact with Soul Ring Intent, there was a real possibility that Qian Daoliu could be ganged up on and killed by Title Douluos from other sects.

For example, Qian Daoliu couldn't so easily withstand Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer before. Even if he defeated Tang Hao, he would still suffer minor injuries. It wasn't that Qian Daoliu was stronger now, but rather that his soul skills were more varied. His combat power had gradually moved from a fluctuating state to near perfection, preventing him from being accidentally injured by Tang Hao's sudden power surge. In other words, as his cultivation of soul ring intent deepens, Qian Daoliu will lose the ability to unleash his power surge, because he is already in a power surge state at all times.

Tang Hao was able to sneak up and injure Qian Daoliu when he was not careful, but even if Qian Daoliu, who was always at his peak, put his head under the Clear Sky Hammer and let it smash a walnut, he still had to respect the power of his power spike, so it was still a bit dangerous.

However, once Qian Daoliu has fully cultivated his Soul Power Crystal Core and taken another step forward in the Peerless Douluo realm, the dominance of a Peerless Douluo will begin to manifest. (Referring to Mu En's ability to treat ferocious beasts like Xiong Jun as air, and Xiong Jun's ability to treat a 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python as a snack, Qian Daoliu's current combat power, even with some enhancements, is only comparable to a level 98 Xuanzi.)

Therefore, Qian Daoliu is now able to calm down and focus on a more secure future.

"However, this kind of soul tool can be developed later." The "later" that Qian Daoliu was referring to was after the Spirit Hall had become great again.

Previously, Qian Daoliu didn't have a high opinion of Bibi Dong's "My Struggle," feeling that it was driven by selfish motives and carried great risks. However, after receiving "proactive support" from the Technology Chamber of Commerce, Qian Daoliu began to realize that the risks facing the Spirit Hall were decreasing, and he gradually accepted "Bibi Dong's Struggle" in his heart.

"That's natural." Chen Hong nodded, and with everyone's cooperation, they finished setting up the sixty Philosopher's Stones in just two hours.

"I used the top-grade space stone given to me by my senior to store a lot of Soul-Nourishing Crystals. As for the remaining immortal herbs, I'll slowly use them to make new Sage Stones later."

After finishing his work, Chen Hong walked to a plot of land near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where the environmental energy was relatively mild. He then took out a withered branch from the lining of his clothes, buried it in the soil, and placed a somewhat rough Philosopher's Stone under it. He also poured the remaining soul power essence he had left over onto the roots.

Chen Hong brought the Withered Vine, this "veteran". Because the energy environment in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley is not suitable for other soul beasts, Chen Hong could not bring Bajie and Xiaoying. The only one who can enjoy this environment is the Withered Vine, who decided to follow Chen Hong early on and awakened the Ning family bloodline's talent for clinging to a powerful figure.

Soon, a huge vine began to grow inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, eventually growing into an evergreen tree more than ten meters tall in a few days.

Purple Realm Plant Soul Beast, the Withered and Flourishing Tree.

The withered vine, which was already just one step away from the Millennium Purple Realm, finally succeeded in advancing under the excellent environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the nourishment of Chen Hong's soul power essence. It no longer appeared in the form of a vine, but officially evolved into a tree.
