Chapter 523 Soul Guidance Device, Made by a Master!

Jing Hongchen looked like he was only in his forties, not tall but broad-skinned. To describe him in the simplest terms, he was short and fat.

The short and fat figure is undoubtedly not suitable for long hair, but he has long hair. The brown-red hair is scattered behind his head, which makes his short and thick neck somewhat unclear.

He looked like a big toad wearing a shamatte wig. Especially his eager look at this moment, it made people feel like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

Fortunately, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen did not look like him.

Of course, what Jing Hongchen desired was not swan meat, nor the delicate flower of the Third Prince, but the technology of Zhuge's magic crossbow.

He is not getting something for nothing.

"Your Highness the Third Prince, don't worry. I won't let you down, and Mingde Hall won't let you down either." Jing Hongchen sat on the large sofa, patted his chest, and took the lead in making a guarantee with full sincerity.

"Oh? So, Master Hongchen plans to bring Mingde Hall to support this hall?"

"Ahem..." Jing Hongchen almost choked and quickly changed the subject, "Mingdetang is the Mingdetang of the Sun Moon Empire, and is always loyal to the empire and the emperor."

To translate it, Jing Hongchen and Mingdetang will not be loyal to a certain person. They will only support whoever is the emperor.

“Haha, Hall Master Hongchen, I was only joking. I’m not like my elder brother who started forming cliques before our father even died. I only care about all the talents who can be useful to the empire. Even if you ask me to contribute all my technology and you don’t give me anything in return, I don’t mind.” Huo Yuhao’s throat was almost clenched.

Jing Hongchen got goosebumps all over his body after hearing this.

He remembered that the third prince used to be arrogant but also quite serious. What happened to him now?

If he had not passed the test when entering Mingde Hall before, and his martial soul and aura matched, and there was no possibility of disguise, he would have suspected that the third prince in front of him was someone else pretending to be him.

Jing Hongchen couldn't understand it, and in the end he could only conclude that the Third Prince had received some help recently and had passed the eighth-level soul instructor assessment, so he became a little too proud of himself.

Because Xiao Hongchen has a criminal record.

"Ahem, Your Highness the Third Prince is joking. Mingde Hall will not force any soul guide from the empire. Moreover, rewarding those who have made contributions is the fundamental policy of Mingde Hall." Jing Hongchen hurriedly got back to the point.

No one mentioned Xu Tianran's affairs. That was a topic that could not be discussed, even for him, the head of Mingde Hall.

Huo Yuhao did not say anything else exciting, but went straight to talking about Zhuge's divine crossbow. He took out a stack of blueprints from his storage ring and handed them to Jing Hongchen.

"This is the complete blueprint of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon, and it also includes the development ideas and complete array patterns for the related technologies, as well as the downgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons of levels 4, 5, 6, and 7, as well as the conception of the level 9 Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannon."

Jing Hongchen was stunned after hearing this.

WTF?

Has the downgraded Zhuge Divine Crossbow been developed?

Is there still a possibility of upgrading to level nine?

Hiss~~~~

After taking a deep breath and making a contribution to global warming in Douluo Continent, Jing Hongchen excitedly took a stack of drawings, ignored Huo Yuhao, and began to study the contents of the drawings carefully.

Huo Yuhao didn't care about it either. He just sat aside and started making tea for himself.

Combining the memories of the Third Prince's seventh-level soul engineer, as well as the soul engineer experience of Qingci Douluo and Moying Douluo, integrating the manufacturing drawings of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and using the Eye of All Laws for research and development, it was a piece of cake to draw these drawings in just one week.

Not only is the clone "working hard", the original body is also working hard.

In fact, the first thing developed was just the fourth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which had a single attack method and could only fire live bullets.

Later, after continuous deduction, there were level five, level six and level seven Zhuge Divine Crossbows.

The creation of the eighth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow was rather difficult, so Huo Yuhao specifically broke through the techniques of several soul guide formations and integrated some ideas and methods from the cultivators’ formations. Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

In fact, as for the formation, even if one does not have the ability and means of a cultivator, one only needs to use powerful items and successfully complete the formation to make the formation effective.

Because, after all, the formation is about leveraging the power of heaven and earth. The focus is not the cultivator's own strength, but how to leverage the power.

Use your own smallness to leverage the vastness of heaven and earth.

This method is useful in Douluo Continent, and the energy of heaven and earth in Douluo Continent is also relatively sufficient.

Even those cultivators whose realm is not high enough often cannot see through the power of heaven and earth, and naturally find it difficult to use more power to arrange a powerful formation. It is like knowing that there is a fulcrum that can pry the earth, and there is a long enough stick in hand, but due to the limited ability of one's own, one cannot find that fulcrum.

However, the drawings that Huo Yuhao gave to Jing Hongchen were only the soul guide version. Since the soul guide arrays could be adapted by referring to the cultivator arrays, then there would be no problem in refining soul guides as magic tools.

The core of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that Huo Yuhao made today is a basic magical weapon embryo.

Therefore, the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Huo Yuhao's hand is actually far greater than that of a normal Zhuge Divine Crossbow of the same level. It can burst out an attack power comparable to that of a ninth-level soul guide for an instant, and its range is naturally longer.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow with a range of fifty meters is naturally very lethal in the hands of low-level spirit masters and on ordinary battlefields, but it is not enough in a duel between high-level spirit masters.

As for the ninth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow, although there are development ideas, what Huo Yuhao did not write is that a complete ninth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow should be a real magic weapon in order to exert its strongest power.

“When my clone has nothing to do in the future, I’ll just let him do it and have some fun with it.” Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

Although the clone is not a ninth-level soul engineer, refining the ninth-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow does not require the skills of a ninth-level soul engineer, but rather the skills of a weapon refiner.

Equipping with special weapons is also a way to improve the strength of the clone.

It is not only about guarding against foreign enemies, but also about being prepared to die together with others.

Isn't the clone meant for self-destruction?

After a long time, Jing Hongchen finally finished reading all the drawings and became even more excited.

"What a miraculous skill, what a miraculous skill!" Jing Hongchen murmured to himself.

Among these drawings, the sealing technology that he was most concerned about was also recorded on it, and it seemed to have been perfected and was feasible. Jing Hongchen only felt that the formation of the sealing technology was somewhat familiar, and there were more parts that he could not understand. Fortunately, there were detailed instructions, allowing Jing Hongchen to successfully understand it with the experience of a ninth-level soul mentor.

It was because he understood it that he felt it was a miraculous skill.

I can't wait to experiment with it now.

Because he had a strong premonition that it was a brand new path that was different from previous soul guides!

It will definitely take the soul guide to a higher level!

What is precious is not only the sealing technology, but also the mechanism technology used in the low-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which he has never understood before. But this means that the low-level Zhuge Divine Crossbow has the possibility of being used by ordinary people.

And the Third Prince took out all of these without reservation and presented them in front of him.

How could this not excite him?

But he quickly suppressed his excitement, looked up at Huo Yuhao, and asked seriously, "Your Highness the Third Prince, these blueprints were not developed by you, were they?"

Who could believe that a prince with mediocre soul guide technology could develop these things?

Even if he was poisoned by licking a toad and had hallucinations, he would not believe it.

Huo Yuhao calmly put down the teacup and said, "Anyway, the technology is mine."

"Can you recommend someone..."

"No, he doesn't like Mingde Hall."

"This this……"

Jing Hongchen was numb.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.

Tang Sect hidden weapons, Dashi... Then think about it and see what else is missing.

Do you want to create the Seven Monsters of the Sun and the Moon?

Then let the third prince be the third?
