章 573: Chapter 23 What Level Are You? Call Uncle Master or Senior Brother?_2
Only.
In Xu Jiawei's hands was a very unique and novel item, and she truly was somewhat undecided.
Hearing the words, Xu Jiawei nodded and then shook her head, "As you've seen, this is indeed a high-level soul guidance device. However, this item is not an eighth-grade soul guidance device, but rather... an extremely rare ninth-grade soul guidance device."
"What? A ninth-grade soul guidance device?"
Xu Jiujiu covered her small mouth with her hand, emitting a cry of surprise.
Even for the Xingluo Empire's jewel who was used to seeing rare treasures, this was profoundly shocking.
Of course.
It wasn't that Xu Jiujiu's knowledge was limited.
Rather, it was that ninth-grade soul guidance devices were extremely rare.
Throughout the entire continent, apart from the Sun-Moon Empire, not a single one of the Douluo Three Kingdoms possessed a soul master capable of making a ninth-grade soul guidance device.
The strongest was merely that half-step level eight from Shrek Academy...
Moreover, even though the Sun-Moon Empire had ninth-grade soul guidance devices, those were deterrent weapons under strict control. They simply could not circulate on the Soul Land continent.
They were the foundation of their existence, and ordinary people couldn't even get a glimpse of what a ninth-grade soul guidance device actually looked like.
"Brother Emperor, are you sure there's no problem with this item?"
What a ninth-grade soul guidance device meant, Xu Jiujiu understood all too clearly.
Wherever it was placed, it would cause a storm.
She could not afford not to be cautious.
"Jiu Jiu, rest assured. Once this ninth-grade soul guidance device entered our country, I immediately convened the empire's eighth-level soul masters for research and judgment.
We can confirm that this item is indeed a very rare ninth-grade soul guidance device, no mistake," affirmed Xu Jiawei with unwavering certainty.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu smiled in relief.
"Then what else is there for you to ask me, brother?"
"Since this item is indeed a genuine ninth-grade soul guidance device, of course, it should be handed over to the empire's soul masters for research and understanding.
Our Xingluo has two or three eighth-level soul masters, right? Perhaps they could be inspired by this ninth-grade soul guidance device and breakthrough to become ninth-level soul masters.
Or at the very least, they could improve by half a level and become half-step level eight soul masters."
Xu Jiujiu spoke half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"You just tease your brother...," Xu Jiawei said helplessly, shaking his head, "A ninth-grade soul guidance device is the crystallization of a ninth-level soul master's lifelong knowledge and experience, and indeed has immeasurable value.
Worthy of reference and study.
But whether one can break through still depends on fate.
If merely looking at someone else's soul guidance device could lead to a breakthrough, then ninth-level soul masters from the Sun-Moon Empire would have already been numerous as locusts, and unifying the Soul Land would not be difficult at all."
"Moreover..."
At this point, Xu Jiawei felt somewhat embarrassed, "There are no outsiders here, so I'm not afraid of your laughter when I say it.
Those eighth-level soul masters cultivated by our Xingluo with so much effort are actually figures who look impressive but are of no great use.
They studied this soul guidance device for a long time but couldn't dismantle even a single component. This item is really too profound for them; it has a great difficulty to learn.
Eventually, all of them gave up."
After finishing his words, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but feel a strong sense of defeat.
A bitter smile also couldn't help but show on Xu Jiujiu's face.
"Brother, in fact, we can't really blame our empire's soul masters. After all, there are only two types of soul masters on Soul Land.
One kind is the soul masters from the Sun-Moon Empire; the other kind is all the other soul masters.
As for researching a ninth-grade soul guidance device, our Xingluo's soul masters have done their best, and we don't need to be too hard on them. Besides, some things just can't be forced."
She spoke with a gentle voice full of reassurance.
"I understand all that you're saying…" Xu Jiawei managed to squeeze out a smile, "Actually, the reason I sought you out today was not to vent about these frustrating matters, but instead, to ask you about the ownership issue concerning this item."
The ownership issue?
Xu Jiujiu was taken aback, "Could it be that you intend to give this item to me?"
Xu Jiawei nodded, "Correct."
"But I'm not a soul master either, and you giving it to me would make it even less likely that I could understand it. Wouldn't this be a waste of heaven's gifts?" Xu Jiujiu was clearly shocked by Xu Jiawei's inexplicable decision.
Xu Jiawei shook his head, "Jiu Jiu, you've misunderstood me. You don't know what this item does, do you?
This soul guidance device is called the Divine Seal Altar, and it has a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo sealed within..."
```
What?
A hundred thousand year spirit beast embryo?
```
Xu Jiujiu stared at Xu Jiawei in shock, "Brother, are you serious?"
Xu Jiawei shrugged, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"It's actually true!"
Xu Jiujiu was so shocked she didn't know what to say. She was now very curious about who could have such capability.
"Brother, who sent this soul guidance device?"
"The other party is very mysterious, and I don't know their origin. But I estimate that it's very likely a reclusive powerhouse from the Sun-Moon Empire, likely unaffiliated with any force."
Xu Jiawei speculated, "Otherwise, whether it's the level 9 soul tool, or the hundred-thousand-year soul beast inside, both are of extraordinary value."
"If it was a powerhouse loyal to the Sun-Moon Empire, they certainly couldn't let such precious items fall into outsiders' hands."
After hearing Xu Jiawei's explanation, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but nod, "Then do we have any chance of pulling them over to our side?"
Xu Jiawei laughed, "Don't harbor such thoughts. You'd better consider whether you want to keep the hundred-thousand-year soul ring from the Divine Seal Altar for yourself to absorb."
"Me?" Xu Jiujiu shook her head, "Forget about it, the whole package is at least a billion golden soul coins. Our auction house doesn't make that much in net profit in a year... I'm not worthy of possessing such a precious soul ring."
Xu Jiujiu had hardly any hesitation and directly chose to refuse.
Even as a pampered Princess of the Empire, she didn't have the right to be so extravagant.
"Jiu Jiu, if you think that way, then you are wrong."
Xu Jiawei said with a grave expression, "The reason I came to you with it today is that after research, our Empire's Titled Douluo guest elders have come to a conclusion. That conclusion is that if someone absorbs this soul ring, they might very well give birth to a second Martial Soul."
"You're saying, a second Martial Soul?" Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes widened immensely.
Disbelief filled her beautiful eyes.
Today's outrageous developments just kept coming one after another.
It was like an unending melody.
"Surprised, right? When I received the news, I was shocked too."
"Of course, everyone is guessing that the sealed soul beast isn't an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast and might bring benefits beyond just a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone."
"But after all, a guess is a guess. This is like a high-stakes gamble. Succeed and our Xingluo will have one more Twin Martial Souls genius, and very likely gain an extreme ice attribute Martial Soul."
"Failure isn't much of a loss either."
Xu Jiawei said, clenching his fist involuntarily.
If his Cultivation Level talent hadn't been poor and his status hadn't prevented him from taking risks, he would have wanted to try absorbing it himself.
In fact.
The powerhouses of the Xingluo Empire did have some things, just not many.
The Snow Emperor's seven hundred thousand years cultivation level indeed had the ability to grant someone a second Martial Soul, but...
Could an ordinary person absorb a seven hundred thousand years soul beast?
For those below the Titled Douluo Level, the result of forcibly absorbing it was only one: ever seen a human firework?
"Can I become a Twin Martial Souls?" Xu Jiujiu's gaze showed a hint of confusion.
She didn't hide the fact that she was tempted.
"Of course... it's possible."
Xu Jiawei didn't dare to speak too confidently, "But I can assure you of one thing. With your talents, if you were to possess an extreme ice attribute Martial Soul, you will definitely have a place among the top powerhouses of Soul Land in the future."
"By then, like those super powerhouses from Shrek, you could let Xingluo shine and remain stable for hundreds of years!"
Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was in a trance.
Thinking this way, taking a chance seemed quite appealing, didn't it?
Spending a billion golden soul coins for a chance at Xingluo's prosperity seemed not so bad?
However.
Just as she was about to nod, another thought popped up in her mind.
That was, not to agree!
And this idea grew increasingly strong.
Xu Jiujiu took a deep breath.
She understood, one side was dreams and the other was reality.
In the end, she chose to let go of the unrealistic dreams and chose reality.
"Sorry, brother, I can't agree to this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei was taken aback, "Why?"
