"Zhang Su, do you remember how we established the conditions at that time?" Fan Zengming asked.

"Yes." Zhang Su nodded and replied.

"Well, the company has already replied to your conditions, and I will now explain to you the decision of the company's side." Fan Zengming nodded.

"Listen up." Zhang Su replied.

"First of all, your conditions can be agreed to by the company, but there will be some adjustments to some of the contents." Fan Zengming explained.

"Adjustments? What is the adjustment method? Zhang asked in confusion.

"First of all, the privilege of free access to the Heavenly Soul Pavilion can be retained, and the two Horcruxes will also be delivered as agreed, and I will do my homework and send you the information of the soul masters who participate in the competition, of course, if you have any questions, you can also ask me at any time, these are no problems, but for the 300,000 annual salary you want, the company promises to pay you, but it will not be paid immediately, but will be issued as a bonus after you enter the Pu family, one is to have a reason for distribution, and it will not be talked about by others, Even if it reaches the ears of the Pu family, there will be no misunderstanding; The second is that this is a transaction payment, and the company will not give you a sum of money before you don't have enough chips, you can understand this," Fan Zengming conveyed the company's response,

This result is also considered, after all, the transaction with Pu Zitong and the old man is an exchange of soul contracts, and unlike the company's transactions, no one in the company can sign a soul contract with himself on behalf of the company, and there is no binding force of the contract, the soul hunting company is a deterrent to its own strength, and it is only a verbal commitment to the company, under this binding force, once the money is given, it is not easy to recover, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why the soul hunting company does not plan to pay its annual salary of 300,000 yuan in advance.

"And then? Are there any conditions for the company? Zhang Su asked.

Fan Zengming only responded to the part of the Soul Hunting Company that bargained for the conditions he offered, and the specific requirements of the company had not yet been mentioned.

"The company's conditions are very simple, and there are two, one is to let you continue to maintain a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Pu Zitong, as long as Pu Zitong likes it, you have to try to satisfy her, of course, the company will help you reimburse you every month for the common expenses of the two of you, and strive to take Pu Zitong down as soon as possible, and have the opportunity to cook raw rice and cook rice; The other is that you have to improve your strength as much as possible, according to the information that the company has obtained at the moment, the highest-level person among your competitors is a junior soul king, and it is very likely that you will reach the intermediate or even advanced soul king after two years, and you also have two years, during which you can at least advance to the soul king level, so this is also the company's second requirement for you. Fan Zengming informed Zhang of the company's conditions.

"Soul King level? Junior Soul King? ”

Zhang Wei repeated in surprise, scratching his head with his hand, he knew that Pu Zitong was also an intermediate great soul master, wouldn't the junior soul king be two levels higher than Pu Zitong, and he was just a newcomer, let alone competition, facing an opponent of this level It was a difficult problem to even escape.

"By the way, you still don't know the classification of the Soul Master Realm, do you?"

Fan Zengming saw Zhang Su's surprised look, thinking that Zhang Su was in a daze because he didn't know the level of the soul master, so he asked unconsciously.

"I already know, when I was in the Heavenly Soul Pavilion, the old soul ancestor of the sect had already explained to me, the five major levels and the three minor levels, I already knew all of these, but I felt that I was too far behind those world disciples from the beginning, and the children of the soul family of the same age as me had cultivated for three or five years, I was a newcomer who was a halfway monk, I don't know if this gap can really be made up." Zhang Su hung his head and said his worries.

"It's nothing, you are now an intermediate soul master's soul power, and then if you only rely on your own cultivation of the Wood Silk Technique to improve your soul power, you may still not be able to catch up with those people of the world, but now you have the assistance of the soul building room, as long as you work harder, there will be a chance in the future, the company does not make you the strongest among the competitors, but I just hope that you have a certain strength, coupled with your friendship with Pu Zitong, the company can go to the Pu family to negotiate the operation, and the result is likely to be that you are selected by the Pu family." Fan Zengming informed Zhang of the company's intentions.

"I see, the two conditions on my side plus the company's pound may indeed make the Pu family change their original intentions." Zhang Su suddenly realized that he finally understood the company's small abacus.

"If you understand, I'll take you to pick out a Horcrux now." Fan Zengming nodded.

After speaking, Fan Zengming walked towards the outside of the soul-building room, followed by Zhang Su.

According to Fan Zengming, the place where the Horcruxes are stored is called Jinglong Palace, in the basement of the Heavenly Soul Castle, there was originally a wine cellar for storing wine, after Xianhe Fort became the Heavenly Soul Castle, the Heavenly Soul Fort will no longer make wine and store wine, and the wine cellar will be transformed into today's Jinglong Hall by the Soul Hunting Company, which is used to store the Horcruxes collected and manufactured by the company near Qicheng, low-grade Horcruxes will be stored in various branches, high-grade Horcruxes are extremely rare, and will be stored in the headquarters, Jinglong Hall will generally store some medium-grade Horcruxes and Horcruxes that cannot distinguish grades, Being able to get a medium-grade Horcrux is already a dream of many soul masters, and this time the company allowed Zhang Su to choose two Horcruxes if other soul masters knew about it, it was simply explosive news, and this matter made Fan Zengming extremely greedy.

The two didn't walk a few steps, and soon came to the entrance of the basement, the entrance to the basement is extremely hidden, and it is set up on the side of the corridor outside the restaurant, the appearance is the same as the shape of the ordinary guest room, it is difficult for people to pay special attention, even Zhang Su, a person who has already turned the Heavenly Soul Castle, does not remember that there is an inconspicuous room door here, there is no door number on the door, and there is no door number, because next to the restaurant, it is easy to be mistaken for the staff's dressing room or dormitory, so it is not just Zhang Su, basically no one has paid special attention.

Fan Zengming walked in front and took out a special door card, which was slowly inserted into the card reader, suddenly, the inside of the door seemed to be loose, and there was a crisp chain pulling sound and a slight wooden board collision sound, the sound disappeared sharply, and the door of the room slowly opened, and what greeted Zhang Wei's eyes was not an ordinary guest room, but a staircase that continued to extend downward.

Zhang Su stretched out his head to look inside, the stairs stretched vertically downward, bottomless, and after a few sections, it was pitch black, even if there was a bright light from outside the door shining inside, it seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness inside, and he couldn't see the situation in the depths of the stairs at all.

"Unleash your soul, use your soul to find your way, watch your step, once you stumble, you will die here." Fan Zengming reminded, and then walked down the stairs.

Zhang Su opened the yin and yang eyes and followed Fan Zengming closely, not daring to take two steps in the middle, for fear that he would not be able to find the way halfway through.

The two walked one after the other, when the two of them fully stepped into the door, the door made a rumbling sound again, the door closed automatically, the seemingly ordinary wooden door actually made the dull sound of the stone moving, and the last trace of light at the staircase gradually disappeared, followed by the darkness of the sky and the boundless black, which made Zhang Su unconsciously panic in his heart, but he did not really lose his mind, because Zhang Su was using his soul to perceive everything around him at this time.

Although the soul is not hindered, but the body is still a little uncomfortable in the extreme darkness, people live in the sun, even if there is no claustrophobia, they will not like to be in the dark, there is no light, the body function declines rapidly, and the body will be unconsciously afraid, Zhang Su discovered this after the enhancement of spiritual sense.

Correspondingly, ghosts like darkness, the reason for which is that in addition to the soul's ability to adapt to the dark, there should also be the reason that the defense of the body space will become extremely weak in the dark state, and the body can no longer effectively protect the soul in the body, and the soul can break through the defense of the body space and secretly attack the soul, as for the principle, Zhang Su doesn't know, but the actual situation should be like this.

Zhang Su saw with yin and yang eyes, except for the vertical staircase at the staircase, after more than ten meters, the staircase became a spiral staircase that spiraled downward, surrounded by a wide cylindrical wall, as if a winding mountain road was built close to the wall inside a large chimney, constantly surrounding, stretching endlessly, as if it could go straight to the bottom of the Heavenly Soul Mountain.

"Brother Fan, how long will it take to go on like this?"

Nearly half an hour passed, and Zhang asked breathlessly.

"Soon, the ladder is designed according to the prototype of the Jinglong Bone Joint, we have already walked nine of the ten bone joints, and one more section will arrive." Fan Zengming replied.

"Then why can't I see below with my yin and yang eyes?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"Below, on the ceiling of the Jinglong Palace, there is a special Horcrux, similar to glass, which has the ability to reflect, but what is reflected is not the light wave seen by the human eye, but the soul wave that the soul eye can see, so the yin and yang eyes cannot detect the situation below." Fan Zengming explained.

"And this kind of horcrux, it seems to be amazing, can you choose this?" Zhang asked curiously.

"The Mirror of the Underworld? Why did you choose it? That is a forbidden Horcrux, in addition to reflecting the soul wave seen by the soul eye, its function is also to isolate the soul perception, even if it is just a trick, it has no practical effect, it is very common on the market, the soul master generally uses it to arrange the residence enchantment, used to disturb the ghost's vision, small things are worthless. Fan Zengming replied, the tone was like a city man talking about high technology to a countryman, and Zhang Su was the countryman who had just stepped into the soul master realm.

"Okay." Zhang Wei replied with a wry smile.

After a few more minutes, Fan Zengming took Zhang Su through a round mouth similar to a thief hole, and after entering, Zhang Su found that in fact, the round mouth was a hole opened in the ceiling of a certain room, and the hole was endless darkness above, and below was a splendid, dazzling huge palace, this should be the Jinglong Hall that Fan Zengming said, which was completely different from the wine cellar in Zhang Su's impression.

"Is this the Jinglong Palace?"

Zhang Su looked at the huge building in front of him like a palace and was a little ecstatic, this was the first time he had seen such a magnificent scene, on the roof of the palace, the four corners were full of lightless and self-evident night pearls illuminating the whole palace, making the palace like daylight, the gilded walls were shining with stars, glowing with golden light under the illumination of the night pearls, and the hall changed from day to sunrise-like dawn.

Jinglong Hall is a flat-topped palace, most of the layout is designed in accordance with the royal palace, the only special thing is that the center of the palace erects a few pillars that support the underground palace, its column shape is like a keel in general, a total of ten sections, horizontal and vertical are irregular, uneven, but end to end, complement each other, both artistic beauty, and can conform to the modern mechanical structure, the main hall is uplifted, solid and unswerving, this design is unique, put into the modern is also an architectural wonder.

"This is the Jinglong Palace." Fan Zengming nodded in confirmation.

"Brother Fan, didn't you say that Jinglong Hall was renovated from a wine cellar?" Zhang asked puzzled.

"It's okay to say that it's a wine cellar, but the Jinglong Hall is located under the wine cellar, you have also heard the rumors of Heavenly Soul Mountain and Heavenly Soul Fort, the rich businessmen who built Heavenly Soul Fort are willing to build a lot of construction on this Heavenly Soul Mountain, do you think it's just to build a tourist resort? Then he will not be able to recover the cost for decades. Fan Zengming said with a smile.

"Is it because of this Jinglong Palace?" Zhang Su looked around the Jinglong Hall and asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, I'll tell you another true story about Heavenly Soul Castle, I know Hu Xi told you, but I'm going to tell another version." Fan Zengming looked at Jinglong Palace, recalled a little, and spoke.

Zhang Su nodded, he also wanted to know the origin of this Jinglong Palace, this is definitely not as simple as a wine cellar, from the perspective of the surrounding environment, Jinglong Hall is more like an underground palace, or an underground tomb.

Fan Zengming began to tell another version of the story of the Heavenly Soul Castle, and from Fan Zengming's story, Zhang Su learned the true origin of the Heavenly Soul Castle.

Heavenly Soul Mountain, formerly known as Xianhe Mountain, was a place where many people traveled on vacation, one day, there was a rich merchant playing in the mountain, inadvertently picked up a rusty mottled cup, he found an antique friend to help firmly, found that the cup was an antique of the Tang Dynasty, the rich businessman had a heart, and found Mr. Feng Shui to come to this Xianhe Mountain to see Feng Shui, after several explorations, it was basically determined that there was a very likely tomb treasure in this mountain, so he started the idea of this mountain treasure.

The rich businessman does not know how to move mountains and mountains, and divide gold to explore the caves, and he is not a soul master, and there is no magic power available, so he cleverly set up a name, saying that it is the development of a resort area, and spent a lot of money to buy the entire mountain, after all, this place is like spring all year round, and the environment is pleasant, no one will doubt this reason, and if this wild place can be developed into a resort area, the nearby poor villages will also have a tourism economy to rely on, when the proposal is transformed into a development application, the development permit was immediately approved, The development of Xianheshan Resort was initiated.

On the surface, the wealthy merchant built a large number of buildings and built a fort, but in fact he secretly led a team of people to dig from the top of the mountain to find the tomb, but after digging down for a long time, he found the tomb hidden in the belly of the mountain, according to legend, this tomb Tang Zhongzong Li Xian secretly built for himself, originally wanted to come here to hide after the old death, but he did not expect to die tragically in the coup d'état four years after the resumption, so the tomb was vacant, but Li Xian had already collected the rare treasures hidden in this tomb, Speaking of which, this place is more like Li Xian's secret treasure trove.

Of course, the rich merchant was very happy to dig up the treasure, so he asked people to do two things, the first thing was to open a hole in this Jinglong Palace as a way to pour cultural relics, that is to say, the round mouth thief hole we entered; The second thing was to build a wine cellar on this Jinglong Hall to hide this tomb full of treasures, and after doing these two things, the rich merchant built the Xianhe Castle while secretly smuggling the treasures here, and it is said that he sold them to a gang that smuggled antiques abroad, making a windfall.

The construction of Xianhe Fort took more than a year, and in a year's time, the treasures of Jinglong Hall were stolen and sold out by wealthy merchants, and there were only a few dragon pillars left that could not be moved.

After the completion of Xianhe Fort, the rich merchant found that the ten dragon pillars could not be moved away after trying, so he thought about digging out the gold-inlaid jade on these dragon pillars and selling them, and the time to attack these dragon pillars was exactly the time when the frightening pool party was held, and the rich merchant wanted to use the joy on the mountain to cover up the dirtiness underground, but what he didn't expect was that when the people who started digging up the first backbone of the ten dragon bones in the Jinglong Palace, no one knew that the dragon bone was a powerful forbidden Horcrux, the keel was chiseled, and the ghost king Zhan who was trapped inside ran out, appeared at the pool party and slaughtered the guests present, which led to the later transformation of Xianhe Castle into Heavenly Soul Castle.

"So that's the case, that damn rich businessman, doesn't Brother Hu Xige know about this?"

Zhang Su suddenly realized that when he heard Hu Xi say it before, he was still wondering why the ghost king didn't come sooner or later, and he didn't come out to harm people until after the Xianhe Fort was built, it turned out to be like this.

"Of course he didn't know that his father died tragically at the hands of the Ghost King Zhan, and if he knew that Zhan was released by the greedy desires of the rich merchant, who do you think he would hate even more now? So it's good that you know, there is no need to tell Hu Xi about this matter, the only people in the company who knew about it were the people who were involved in this matter and a few senior executives of the company, and I also learned about it by accident from a secret file in the company. Fan Zengming explained.

"You have a point." Zhang Su pondered for a moment and replied.

"Without those precious weapons, here are the medium-grade horcruxes collected by the company, you can pick two at random now, but out of this Jinglong Palace, there is no way for you to regret it." Fan Zengming prompted.

"I think I've already taken care of this first Horcrux."

When talking to Fan Zengming, Zhang Su had already wandered around the Jinglong Hall for a few laps, and after looking around, Zhang Su found something interesting.

"See? What is a Horcrux? ”

Fan Zengming was a little surprised, and said that he had to shop around to buy things, even if he had to try back and forth even if he picked out clothes, he didn't expect Zhang Su to have a favorite Horcrux after a few simple walks, and he couldn't help asking.

"This is it."

Zhang Su took down an object from a shelf and held it in his hand, I don't know what kind of leather material it was made of, it was black and red, it looked like it was some years, but when Zhang Su touched it, the bracer actually changed from black and red to colorful color, and then changed from colorful to fleshy skin, Zhang Su held the arm guard as if he was holding a piece of flesh skin.

"Colored Scale Guards, that's what you're looking for?" Fan Zengming looked at the object that Zhang Su held in his hand and asked with a smile on his face.

"Scaly Armguards? It turned out to be this name.,That's what I'm looking at.,What's wrong? Seeing that Fan Zengming seemed to be silent, Zhang asked puzzled.

Fan Zengming finally laughed, and then introduced to Zhang Su: "This is just a Horcrux that hides soul power, its function is to allow users to control the release of soul power to interfere with other people's exploration, and even make others unable to correctly perceive your soul power, and you can even hide the identity of the soul master when you completely suppress your soul power, but this is not of any use to you, you are a newcomer with weak soul power, and you don't need to suppress soul power, so it's useless to take it, if you just think it's fun to change color, I advise you to think about it more." ”

"It's fun, its color can change according to its surroundings, like a chameleon."

Zhang Su was not angry because of Fan Zengming's ridicule.

"Because it is made of the skin of the ancient scale dragon, the so-called scale dragon is actually a kind of color-changing lizard, even if this lizard dies, its skin can still change color with the environment, although it is wonderful, but it does not have much effect on the soul master." Fan Zengming explained

"Okay, but I'm still going to ask for this, Brother Fan won't let me, right?" Zhang Su asked slightly willfully.

"Why don't you let it, you choose what is your right, I won't interfere, if you choose a useless Horcrux, I will have the opportunity to get other useful Horcruxes, I can't ask for it." Fan Zengming said truthfully and did not hide.

"Alright, I'll want it first."

Zhang Su nodded with satisfaction, because he already knew that this was not the skin of the Ancient Scale Dragon, but the skin of the Yuantian Colored Lizard, although the two were very similar, but they were not of the same level, the skin of the Yuantian Colored Lizard could not only suppress the soul power, but also make the soul and body invisible at the same time, these were the information provided by the remnant soul of Nuwa who had just been activated.
