—------------------—
Xiao Mu looked at both places and finally chose the small manor in the southern suburbs.
This place is larger and much quieter than the house in the city, which makes it convenient for Xiao Mu to refine the elixir.
"Well done, here it is."
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord."
After joining the Soul Palace, Huo Yuan did some errands and odd jobs, and he really wanted to show himself.
"Kaishan, go get a plaque. This will be our Soul Palace's base for a long time to come."
"Okay, I will definitely get a qualified plaque for our Soul Hall."
Zhan Kaishan did not return to Tiandou City, but walked towards Nanshan. He wanted to cut down trees himself and make a high-quality plaque.
"Fire Guardian, have all the paperwork for this manor been completed?"
"Everything is done. I demonstrated my Soul Douluo strength a little bit, and the person handling the formalities became very reasonable and there was no delay. Now this manor belongs to our Soul Palace."
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
This manor covers an area of about thirty acres. It is not big, but it is more than enough to serve as the residence of the Soul Palace, which currently has only three people.
But as a manor close to the outskirts of Tiandou City, the price is not cheap, costing a full 30,000 gold soul coins.
There are many cultivated fields in the manor, but these fields are currently empty. Xiao Mu thought that he could plant some easy-to-grow medicinal herbs in the future.
After taking a rough look around the manor, Xiao Mu nodded with satisfaction.
"Fire Guardian, go to Tiandou City and buy some daily necessities. We will be living here from now on."
"Okay, Palace Master, I'll go right away."
Huo Yuan is already very skilled at these errands.
"By the way, Palace Master, would you like me to buy some servants and maids? Such a large manor needs people to take care of it."
"Not for now." Xiao Mu said.
He planned to recruit some grassroots disciples after establishing the Soul Hall. The Soul Hall couldn't have just the three of them.
After Huo Yuan left, Xiao Mu was the only one left in the huge manor.
A flash of fire appeared beside Xiao Mu, and the next moment he arrived at the center of the manor.
As expected, Xiao Mu's third soul skill gave him a space-type soul skill - Flame Jump.
After using his third soul skill, Xiao Mu can instantly appear at any location where a fire element exists within a radius of one mile.
This spatial soul skill has certain limitations and relies on the fire element.
But this limitation is nothing. Fire elements are almost everywhere, the only difference is the quantity. Moreover, Xiao Mu possesses the Void Devouring Flame, which can make fire elements everywhere even in the depths of the sea.
"Palace Master, I'm back."
The first to return was Zhan Kaishan, who went to look for the plaque.
"Palace Master, what do you think of this plaque? If it doesn't work, I'll get another one."
"What kind of wood is this?"
The plaque that Zhan Kaishan brought back was completely black, with mysterious black lines on it. It was glossier and smoother without paint than with paint.
"This is black-veined ironwood. Although it's not a plant-type soul beast, its hardness is definitely better than most plant-type soul beasts."
Xiao Mu flicked his fingers, and the plaque indeed made a sound of metal and stone.
"This plaque is very nice. This is it."
Zhan Kaishan placed the ironwood plaque horizontally in his hand.
"Please write the theme."
"good."
This plaque is a symbol of the official establishment of the Soul Palace. Xiao Mu became serious, put two fingers of his right hand together, and gently touched the plaque.
Black-veined ironwood is extremely hard, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make any marks on it even with sharp weapons.
Xiao Mu did not use his fingers to carve words on the black-veined ironwood. His soul power flowed out from his fingertips, condensed and took shape on the plaque, leaving a deep spiritual imprint.
Xiao Mu's fingers moved quickly, and the majestic words "Soul Palace" appeared on the iron and wooden plaque.
"Good handwriting."
Zhan Kaishan exclaimed in admiration.
He is not a calligrapher, so he is not praising the quality of the calligraphy.
Staring at the two words "Soul Palace" written by Xiao Mu with the power of his soul, Zhan Kaishan's mind emerged with the sound of thousands of ghosts shrieking and the scene of the sea of blood in the underworld.
If a soul master is relatively weak, just looking at this plaque will cause his mind to tremble, and he will involuntarily feel awe for the Soul Palace.
The plaque does more than that.
Xiao Mu used the method recorded in "The Emperor's Soul Art" to condense the ability of identification and insight into these two words. If someone with malicious intentions wants to invade the manor, this plaque will take the initiative to warn and use the power of the soul to attack the enemy.
This plaque is now more or less a treasure.
"Come on, let's go hang the plaque outside the manor."
When Huo Yuan returned from Tiandou City, he saw the hanging plaque of the Soul Palace at a glance.
Even though she was already a member of the Soul Palace, she still felt awe.
"Even the Spirit Hall probably doesn't have this kind of plaque." Huo Yuan sighed.
She was now more confident about the future of the Soul Palace, and felt that the Soul Palace might replace the Spirit Hall in the future and become the top force on the Douluo Continent.
Main Quest 1: Officially establish the Soul Hall on Douluo Continent. Completed. Recruit at least one member above the Soul Douluo realm. Completed. Soul Hall reputation reaches 10,000 points. Completed.
Not long after the plaque was erected, Xiao Mu heard a prompt from the system.
The reputation of the Soul Palace has been steadily increasing over the past few days, especially seven days ago, when it experienced an explosive growth.
It should be the disciple from the Fire Leopard Sect who returned to the sect and told them about the Soul Palace.
Just now, the Soul Palace's reputation value officially exceeded 10,000 points.
[Main Quest 1 rewards are as follows: Number of powerful summons x1, one Ten Thousand Souls Alchemy Furnace.]
"There's another reward for summoning powerful warriors. I hope I can summon a Titled Douluo."
Xiao Mu directly used the strong summoning method, and powerful soul power appeared out of thin air and condensed into a human form in front of Xiao Mu.
"Palace Master, is this how you summoned your subordinates?"
Zhan Kaishan witnessed this summoning of the powerful man with his own eyes, but still couldn't understand the principle behind it.
The power of the soul gradually dissipated, and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and sharp eyes appeared.
This man knelt on one knee and said to Xiao Mu:
"Dragon Gallbladder Douluo Yang Ziqi greets the master."
"Get up." Xiao Mu said, "You are the second Celestial Lord of my Soul Palace. From now on, you can just call me Palace Master."
"Yes, I obey your command."
Zhan Kaishan folded his arms and looked at Yang Ziqi, the second Heavenly Venerable.
"Second Heavenly Master, what's the level of your soul power?"
Yang Ziqi frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhan Kaishan's attitude, but still replied:
"Ninety-fifth level Titled Douluo, martial spirit Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear."
"Haha." Zhan Kaishan laughed, "Welcome to the Second Heavenly Venerable."
Knowing that Yang Ziqi's soul power was lower than his, and that his martial soul was also a weapon martial soul, Zhan Kaishan thought that his strength far exceeded Yang Ziqi's, and his attitude softened immediately.
Xiao Mu said, "Kaishan, Ziqi and you will both be Soul Palace Celestial Lords from now on. You two must support each other and serve the Soul Palace together."
"Yes, I understand."
Zhan Kaishan and Yang Ziqi said at the same time.
"Palace Master, I'm back."
As soon as Huo Yuan came back, he found that there was one more person in the manor.
"Palace Master, who is this?"
