Above all spirits

Chapter 102 Soul Master Fang Ping

After reflecting on the name "Soul Palace" for a while, Gu Yun stepped into this magnificent place alone.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

This place is built in a pavilion style, which is grand and magnificent, showing its nobility.

Looking at the whole scene, most of the buildings are made of mahogany, giving them an antique feel. If you use your soul power to sense them, you can see subtle flowing light reflected on them. There is no doubt that every part of this place is protected by restrictions.

Judging from the overall structure, there should be a distinction between the outer cabinet and the inner cabinet.

I imagine that where I am now is the outer chamber, a place for receiving guests.

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, two elegant and beautiful women dressed in blue robes greeted Gu Yun with smiles.

The two bowed and said in unison.

"Welcome to the Soul Hall. Would you like to purchase a suitable cultivation method or soul technique, or would you like to schedule an appointment with a Soul Master to customize or improve your soul technique based on your understanding?"

"If you have any other needs, please let us know, and we will convey them to you."

According to Ji Xiao's description, Soul Masters are actually the same as the Power Masters of the Upper Realm, but the two study different mediums: one is Soul Power, and the other is Soul Essence.

Gu Yun replied just as politely.

"No need, thank you. I have an appointment with Fang Ping today, Soul Master Fang. Could you please take me there?"

Upon hearing the name "Fang Ping," a hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of the two women.

To know.

To these migrant workers, Fang Ping was almost a god-like figure.

He was not only the head of the Soul Palace's branch on Canglan Star.

His mastery of soul techniques is among the best in this region and even in the entire star field.

Soul Masters are divided into nine ranks.

In fact, it's not just Soul Masters; most other professional masters are also divided into nine ranks.

The most important distinguishing factor among the nine ranks of Soul Masters is the rank of the Soul Arts they have created.

It is rumored that Fang Ping had already advanced to the seventh-grade Soul Master realm decades ago.

In other words, Master Fang once created a Saint-level Soul Technique!

It is not hard to imagine how high its status and strength are.

Those he dealt with were all high-ranking members of various factions within the Canglan Empire.

The person in front of me...

They are far too young.

However, the two women were only stunned for a moment, and did not make any comments about Gu Yun's identity, but expressed their slight apologies.

"Please wait a moment while I go and report."

One of the women bowed to Gu Yun again and turned to walk towards the inner cabinet.

Another woman led Gu Yun to a guest seat and made him tea.

Gu Yun surveyed the hall. There weren't many people around; they were probably all wealthy and powerful. The guards around him also made Gu Yun narrow his eyes slightly.

A conclusion was drawn.

Seventh level of the Holy Body.

That's a big investment.

“Young master, I am truly sorry for my slight doubt and absent-mindedness just now. Perhaps you are unaware that there are very few people in the entire Canglan Empire, or even on Canglan Star, who can persuade Master Fang Ping to come.”

"Now that I think about it, you must be some young master from a family, or a holy son of a sect from another planet. I'm truly sorry."

Gu Yun was somewhat impressed by the woman's repeated apologies.

You should know that this woman doesn't know her identity yet; she might just be an arrogant young man.

It seems I've been misled by the ingrained consciousness of Earth's culture.

Although this place, like the cultivation world, is a place where the strong prey on the weak, which of the weak who can survive in such a place is truly foolish?

Not to mention the major powers at the heart of the empire.

Even if it's just a greeter.

Where can you find so many arrogant and incompetent extras?

There are definitely people like that.

For example, Lim Jae-sung.

However, as a direct descendant of the family who was showered with the family's affection, it was inevitable that he would have some "prince and princess syndrome".

These are ordinary people who live at the bottom of society and occasionally have the opportunity to do things under the influence of powerful figures.

He would be more meticulous in his dealings with others, so how could he be so reckless?

Is this just giving the protagonist a chance to show off and be humiliated?

Gu Yun took the tea from the woman and took a small sip.

"It's alright, I'm not some noble person, there's no need to be so formal."

After a while.

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the passage and spoke softly.

"Young master, I have confirmed with Master Fang Ping. Please come this way."

They followed the woman who had gone to report the incident.

The two stepped onto a movable platform.

Werner exclaimed inwardly: Holy crap, it's an elevator!

Gu Yun also took a closer look and expressed slight amazement.

The elevators on Earth are indeed similar in concept.

The only difference is the energy source used to start it up.

Sensors are activated by moving inwards through the handrails.

It must be driven by soul power.

In fact, compared to Qi, soul power is a more widely used energy medium in the lower realms.

Because soul power is not only stable, but also relatively convenient to supply and store, Gu Yun guessed that there must be the intervention of demons or gods.

Qi varies from person to person; everyone's Qi is different, so it is impossible to use it uniformly, and it is also inconvenient to store it.

The platform continued to move upwards, and then a "thump" was heard.

It seems that we have reached the peak.

Only then did they slowly open the fence.

The woman stopped walking and instead gestured to Gu Yun, explaining her position.

“Young master, Master Fang Ping is at the end of the road ahead. I will not disturb you any further.”

Gu Yun nodded and responded.

"Thank you."

He then stopped holding back and vanished from the spot in a flash.

The room was not luxuriously decorated, and there were some strange items hanging on the walls. They all looked a bit old, but Gu Yun could tell that they were definitely valuable.

It should be some semi-finished products of precision instruments.

At a huge round table, an elderly man wearing black-rimmed crystal glasses is carefully reading a torn piece of parchment.

Although the old man had some wrinkles on his face, his hair and beard were still jet black and shiny, without a trace of the passage of time.

Therefore, Gu Yun could not determine the old man's true age.

His cultivation level wasn't high; his soul level and life rank were basically maintained at the seventh level of the Holy Body, close to the eighth level.

They seemed to have sensed something was amiss.

The old man slightly raised his head.

They saw that Gu Yun had already arrived.

Smiling, she took off her glasses and quickly stood up to invite Gu Yun to sit down.

"Master Gu, you've arrived. Please have a seat. This is a humble place, please excuse the inconvenience."

Gu Yun didn't stand on ceremony and simply responded politely to the old man's enthusiasm.

After all, in the eyes of people in the lower realm, demons and gods are all ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years.

"Thank you, Elder Fang. I came here today simply to learn about some knowledge about the soul in this world."

The old man said happily.

"I know, I know, that kid Ji Xiao has already nagged about it."

"Gu Moshi is truly unique and extraordinary."

"To be honest, I really want to communicate with you, but unfortunately..."

"So far, you are the only demon messenger who has come to me."

He did not display any aloof or unapproachable demeanor typical of someone in a high position.

He is more like a kind teacher who has been educating and nurturing students for many years.
