The Heavenly Soul Continent is vast and vast, and all countries have been at war for many years, the big countries want to annex the surrounding small countries to expand their own territory, and the small countries unite to want to encroach on the big countries to strengthen themselves.

Every country takes great care of its subjects, which is a tacit understanding shared by all countries, because they know that people are very important, and if people are gone, families will be scattered, and if people are gone, the country will be destroyed.

People living on this continent want to become "soul masters" or "spirit masters", which is also the most popular profession on this continent.

For the common people, if they are fortunate to be one of these two professions, even if they are the lowest level, they will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life and their families.

For those in power, great power can be better managed and conquered, and for those who yearn for freedom, their own strength is freedom.

And the conditions for becoming a "soul master" and "spirit master" are very harsh, first of all, you must have a suitable "soul", or "spirit", so that it can resonate with your own soul, and even achieve integration, use your own soul to eat the soul or spirit, to strengthen your own soul.

Therefore, it requires one's own spirit and will, empty thoughts, firmness, and the firmness of one's willpower determines the strength of one's soul.

At the same time, the "soul" and "spirit" that match oneself also need to be strong, and the powerful "soul" and "spirit" are not at all something that ordinary people can bear.

Cao Guo among all the nations, in the surrounding countries is regarded as a big country, compared to the real big country, Cao Guo is not enough, unlike other countries is that Cao State did not encroach on the surrounding countries but helped the surrounding countries to resist the aggression of other countries, and regarded the surrounding small countries as a periphery, so as not to let their roots be affected by the war, so as to get better development.

The capital of Cao State, it seems that there is no magnificence but it is very spectacular, and it has unique characteristics, there are twelve towers on all sides, the first two towers are relatively smaller, and the last four-sided towers are almost three times the size of the previous towers, and it is not easy to capture them.

The red pavilions in the city look almost no different from each other except for their sizes, and only two of them are the most magnificent.

An eleven-storey black pavilion and a seven-storey red pavilion.

The black pavilion is the place where the soul masters of Cao Guo exchange and learn, and the red pavilion is the library of Cao Guo, which has the closest flow of people and is also the place that is not afraid of being attacked.

On the first floor of the library, there are hardly any lingering figures in the shelves, most of them leading upstairs or busy handymen.

A boy of about eight years old, dressed in a golden robe, with a black jade pendant around his waist, short black hair, a somewhat cute but extremely serious face, and two eyes looking at the old book in his hand that had turned a little yellow.

The content of the book is an introduction to soul masters and spirit masters.

After reading it, I slowly closed the book and thought about it for a long time. "It seems that it is not so easy to become a soul master!"

His name is Cao Ning, and he is the third prince of Cao State, although he is the prince, his father is only the prince of Cao State, but this prince is the emperor's half-brother.

The current emperor loves Cao Ning very much, and the degree of love is even far greater than that of his own son, and even the dragon jade pendant that can only be worn by the emperor of Cao Guo was given to Cao Ning, and promised him another black phoenix jade pendant will be given to his future wife in the future.

The emperor has three sons, the eldest prince and the second prince are the same age as Cao Ning, the third prince is in infancy, and the emperor's love for Cao Ning even the queen is jealous, complaining that the emperor does not love his own son.

Cao Ning put the book back in its place and tapped it twice.

Immediately, someone walked over, the same color as the other miscellaneous servants' clothes, the style and fabric looked much better, a steward, buried his head very low, and said respectfully: "Third Highness, do you have any orders?"

"Help me find all the books about soul masters and spirit masters and send them to the Red Gold Pavilion. Cao Ning commanded.

The steward was a little stunned, as if he had misheard, and asked softly, "Is it all?"

"Well, all, what's the matter?, is it difficult?" Cao Ning thought that this kind of book would be very difficult to find, and the books he had read about it were all shabby.

"No, it's not difficult, the villain will do it. The steward shook his head again and again, indicating that there was no suffering, and he did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes as a subordinate, and if he was not careful, his life would be lost.

The whole book pavilion is very large, you can barely see the end at a glance, this is only the first layer, Cao Ning wants to become a "soul master", of course, there is a suitable "spirit master" can also be!

He even knew that above the second floor of this attic, there were books that only some soul masters read.

Cao Ning wanted to go and see it, but he was not a soul master yet, and even the title of "Three Princes" didn't work.

Glancing at the entrance to the second floor, a lewd old man sat on the side, his withered body was like a tree trunk, his eyes were a little picky, there were a few white hairs floating on his head, holding a forbidden book and smiling lewdly at the corners of his mouth from time to time, revealing a mouth full of teeth that could be counted with only one hand, reaching out to explore the teacup on the table, the withered old fingers were scalded as soon as they touched the cup, and they quickly retracted and rubbed it on their thighs, without exploring the teacup again, the old man's eyes never left the book in his hand.

It is undeniable that he wanted to rush forward while the old man was not paying attention, and then he gave up this idea, he didn't know the old man's age and origin, but he knew that the old man was really ruthless when he beat him!

Thinking about it, every time I went to the staircase and wanted to go up, I would hear an ethereal voice in both ears, "Junior soul masters can enter"

Every time Cao Ning wanted to go up, he was stopped by this voice, he thought it was just to scare him, and besides, he was the "third prince"

A few days ago, he rushed directly to the second floor before the voice appeared, but he just took a book called soul strike, and before he could open it, he was thrown down before he could react, and then he was beaten, and after the beating, he said, "If you don't become a junior strength, go up to the second floor and break your legs!" and then disappeared.

From beginning to end, Cao Ning didn't see the appearance of beating others clearly, and he knew that it was the old man in front of him.

"Boy, do you want to go up and try again!"

The ethereal voice echoed in Cao Ning's ears.

Cao Ning glanced at the old man angrily, and didn't care if the other party could hear it or not, if he said to himself, "Then will you break my leg?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, old man, remember what you said, when my third prince grows to eighteen, it will be when my third prince breaks the old man's leg!"

After Cao Ning muttered quietly, he immediately ran out.

The old man put down the book in his hand, took a sip of the teacup, glanced at the exit of the library, and there was a hint of a kid on his old face, and muttered: "What an arrogant little ghost!"

It then disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Cao Ning gasped and ran to a gazebo, and when he saw that no one was coming, he relaxed and sat down on the stone bench, grabbed the cup on the stone table, drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then poured another cup, and drank three cups in a row before Cao Ning stopped.

Beside him was a boy of a similar age sleeping on a stone table, looking ordinary and dressed in ordinary clothes.

"Xiao Hai, wake up quickly!!" Cao Ning snapped Xiao Hai a few times.

Seeing that Xiaohai's saliva had made the cuffs already wet, Cao Ning was a little disgusted and slapped a few more times.

Xiao Hai woke up at this time, stood up from the stool, quickly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood beside Cao Ning with his head down, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I said that I was listening to music with you, but I fell asleep." ”

Xiao Hai looked at the pavilion while speaking, only he and the Third Highness were here, and said tentatively, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, have you finished listening to the tune?

The boy Xiaohai grew up with Cao Ning's entourage since he was a child.

"I didn't wait for you, and I don't blame you, the main thing is that the music in the palace is too ugly, seeing that you are asleep, I will let them disperse, go to the library to read the book for a while, I asked the manager of the library to send the book in my photo to the red gold pavilion, you go and take it." Cao Ning said.

"Oh, Third Highness, won't you go back with me?" Xiao Hai asked.

"Well, I'm going to the Red Jade Pavilion later, my father asked, you just have to say that. Cao Ning picked up a piece of watermelon on the stone table and said while eating.

"Then the Third Highness, you remember to come back earlier, and then the prince should punish Xiao Hai. Xiao Hai admonished.

"Poof!" Cao Ning spit out a watermelon seed and nodded and said, "Don't worry, we grew up together, how is it compared to my eldest brother and my second brother?"

Hearing Cao Ning say this, the child's Adam's apple moved up and down, obviously very afraid of the eldest prince and the second prince, all the entourage who followed the eldest prince and the second prince, but wherever there was offense, they were sent to the front line, he didn't want to go to the battlefield, he was very afraid of death.

"Don't worry, I won't be punished with me because of my affairs, I didn't have it before, and I won't have it in the future. After Cao Ning finished eating the watermelon, he still wanted to eat something, burped, and stood up, without the slightest shelf of the prince.

After a while, he left the pavilion with Xiaohai.
