#166 - Territory Relocation

The change in the Heart of Scorching Sun was because Quan Yi entered the Blazing Yang Spring.

Or, it was because enough high-level fire attribute energy was input that triggered the Soul Tool's mutation.

The radiance is restrained, a divine object hides its brilliance.

Quan Yi felt that this Soul Tool seemed to be discerning its true master.

And, this condition seemed to be the ultimate fire.

Quan Yi temporarily withdrew his consciousness, because looking at this map alone was meaningless; he had to go back and carefully compare it with the current map to determine the location indicated by the light spot.

To this end, he also had to leave here.

Quan Yi closed his eyes once again.

He entered a meditative state.

In the darkness, Quan Yi's spirit became sharp, and red starlight began to appear around him.

As Quan Yi concentrated, the starlight became more and more numerous. Eventually, Quan Yi's spirit merged into it, and, using the starlight, spread out to the surroundings.

Quan Yi's body emitted a vermilion light, intermingling with the surrounding rings, and finally, merging into one with them.

This time, through his own subjective will, he re-entered the top-level simulated environment cultivation state.

In the state of his Martial Soul completing its evolution, entering this state allowed Quan Yi's spiritual power to expand its perception range.

He was now able to detect the outside of the poison array.

In his perception, there was only one life aura in this space.

Judging from the shape and aura, it should be a small snake.

Apart from this snake, the entire space seemed to have no other aura.

Dugu Bo seemed to have gone out.

Quan Yi knew that now was the best time to escape.

He didn't hesitate, emerging directly from the vermilion pool.

After breathing in the long-lost fresh air, he immediately activated the Fire Spirit Body and Dark Flame power.

Taking advantage of the night, he rushed out of the mountaintop and quickly flew outwards.

At this moment, his maximum flying speed increased sharply from the previous two hundred kilometers per hour to three hundred kilometers per hour.

This was already the speed of a high-speed train.

However, although the speed increased, the consumption decreased instead.

The evolution of the Martial Soul, the transformation of the body, and the changes in the Soul Bone allowed Quan Yi to improve in all aspects.

Quan Yi's fiftieth-level Soul Power could support him to fly at maximum speed for twelve hours.

With such terrifying speed and endurance, Quan Yi could fly directly from Tiandou City back to Sauth City, where the Blazing Academy was located, in a dozen hours.

For reference, Quan Yi spent more than half a month traveling to Tiandou City by carriage.

However, Quan Yi's flying speed was very fast because elementalization reduced the weight of his body to almost zero.

If Quan Yi were to fly with a load, both endurance and speed would be greatly reduced.

Although he had just landed.

But Quan Yi did not stay any longer.

He stuffed all the remaining supplies in the warehouse into the spacious storage space, and then, once again turned into black flames, quickly flying away from the stronghold.

Tiandou City, Central District.

The Quan Family territory.

The longhouse where Quan Li and Yun Qiong lived was still brightly lit.

Inside the house, Quan Li and Yun Qiong were sitting around a wooden table, discussing some matters.

Quan Li looked at the map on the table, his finger pointing to the central part of the map.

"Why don't we move the territory's address closer to the south, so we can be closer to the Blazing Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest, and take care of Xiao Yi?"

Yun Qiong thought for a moment, then gently shook her head in denial: "No, Xiao Yi's time at the academy will be no more than fifteen years at most, after which he will graduate. From a long-term perspective, going south is the worst option."

Quan Li was puzzled: "Although Xiao Yi will graduate, the south is close enough to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet his requirements for obtaining Soul Beast meat. I think this is a good thing for all of us."

"No, the situation in the south is too complicated, and our family's strength is not enough to cope with various emergencies.

We can do business there, but we can't use it as a family stronghold."

Yun Qiong was considering the various kingdoms standing in the south. Although the current situation on the continent was in a peaceful state, she was clear that this was temporary.

In the future, once changes occurred, the south would be the most intensely conflicted area.

Being prepared for a rainy day.

Judging from the perspective of development, the south was definitely not the best area for the family to develop secretly.

Moreover, the south also had the strongest Soul Master force on the continent, the Spirit Hall.

Now, the Spirit Hall's forces had spread throughout all the cities, obviously growing into a behemoth.

They were just a relatively small Soul Master family, and if they went south, they would inevitably be affected by the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Yun Qiong decisively rejected the proposal to go south.

Quan Li trusted Yun Qiong's wisdom very much, so he did not insist on his opinion.

"However, apart from the south and the north, there are almost no large Soul Beast forests to choose from."

Quan Li stared at the map, racking his brains but unable to find any suitable place.

The most important point in their choice of family territory was to be close to the Soul Beast forest.

This was the most important link in the rise of their family.

Over the years, the Soul Beast meat they had purchased had almost all been supplied to Quan Yi alone.

But now they had decided to expand the supply of Soul Beast meat to all young children who had not yet awakened their Martial Souls, as well as family members with Soul Master talent.

Yun Qiong was also thinking about a suitable location, her gaze slowly moving across the map.

Gradually, her eyes moved from the center of the continent to the edge of the continent, which was the location by the sea.

Here, her gaze stopped moving.

Staring at the coastal area, Yun Qiong's eyes gradually brightened.

"How about moving the family territory to a coastal town?" Yun Qiong tentatively suggested.

"The seaside?"

Quan Li's initial reaction was rejection.

Because, among Soul Masters, there were Sea Soul Masters and Continental Soul Masters.

The seaside was the home of various water-type Soul Masters, and as a Continental Soul Master, Quan Li was very reluctant to move to the seaside.

However, when his gaze followed the map and moved to the sea, he seemed to understand Yun Qiong's reason for choosing the seaside.

"The sea, the boundless sea.

And, the Soul Beasts hidden in the sea." Quan Li stared blankly at the map, murmuring.

"That's right, the Soul Masters who live by the sea live by hunting Soul Beasts in the sea. The number of Soul Beasts hidden in the sea far exceeds that of the land.

As long as we can master advanced shipbuilding technology, relying on our firearms and cannons, the boundless sea will be at our disposal."

Yun Qiong's gentle eyes were filled with domineering power at this moment.
