章節 16: Chapter 16: Lost Appointment

In order to create some soul-guiding devices after returning, Huo Yuhao bought ten kilograms of iron essence from the store. This time, he didn't haggle over the price; instead, he asked the staff to throw in a carving knife made of the same iron essence.

Most of the people buying ores were soul engineers, so it wasn't surprising to see such items in the store. Looking at the half-reduced amount of gold soul coins in his storage space, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh internally—money really doesn't last.

"Xiao Yuhao, see you tomorrow. I'll give you the information about the rare metals then."

As they passed a fork in the road, Tang Ya waved goodbye to Huo Yuhao, agreeing to meet at the snack stall tomorrow before walking away directly.

Watching her disappear into the crowd, Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and headed towards the flower shop near his home.

Three hours later.

Sitting at the wooden table, Huo Yuhao emanated a deep blue aura, holding the carving knife in one hand while continuously engraving something on a gray-black small sphere held in the other hand.

Even though the small sphere was only the size of a pinky finger, Huo Yuhao's movements didn't pause for a moment; every cut was incredibly precise.

On the wooden table in front of him lay many oddly shaped metal shells, each etched with deep patterns on the surface, resembling mysterious and ancient runes.

As tiny shavings continued to fly off, the production process finally approached its end.

"Phew—"

Gently blowing away the remaining iron shavings, Huo Yuhao set down the carving knife. His hands moved swiftly, picking up each metal shell, fitting them together perfectly without even needing to look.

Soon, a metal glove crafted from fine iron appeared before Huo Yuhao. Though it was metal, Huo Yuhao, with his rich experience in humanoid soul-guiding devices from his past life, had given every joint ample mobility.

This was still due to the limitations of the material; otherwise, using some special materials wouldn't have required such trouble.

Ideally, Huo Yuhao intended to make it into an accessory like a ring or bracelet that could be expanded into a glove covering his hand when infused with soul power, allowing for smooth movement without any metallic stiffness.

He pulled out the White Tiger Dagger and wrapped his hand in some leather. After getting ready, he picked up the glove through the leather and began to infuse it with soul power. Immediately, a faint blue electrical current lit up in the palm of the glove.

As the palm brushed against the blade of the dagger, the layer of electricity adhered to it, and Huo Yuhao waved it casually, producing a slight crackling sound.

"Not bad."

Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. This item was a prototype of an idea he had, capable of generating electrical energy when infused with soul power. It could be used to attack opponents directly or attached to weapons to grant them electric attributes. The reason for using leather was entirely due to the glove being made of fine iron, which conducts electricity.

However, this issue could still be solved later by using different materials.

As for now, the only option was to use a layer of leather as insulation.

Of course, Huo Yuhao's intention in making this item was not just to limit it to transforming into electrical attributes but to be able to freely convert soul power into any attribute, ideally providing attribute amplification as well. If he could achieve that effect, this item would truly deserve to be called a divine tool.

However, that was merely wishful thinking for now. To provide attribute amplification, something like the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal he obtained in his previous life could achieve that, but the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal could only amplify ice attributes and would suppress fire attributes.

At least for now, he had not discovered any materials that could harmonize with all elemental attributes. In his previous life, his master, Rong Nianbing, possessed seven divine tools, each with its own respective attribute.

A minute or so later, as the electricity on the dagger gradually faded away, Huo Yuhao finally stored the White Tiger Dagger and glove away, while the dark blue light around him slowly retracted. A familiar sense of weakness hit him again.

"The power is significant enough to have a great effect against a three-ring Soul Ancestor, categorizing it as a level-three soul guiding device, and it can be activated with just one ring."

Referring to the price of the level-three soul guiding paralysis ray he encountered at the Starfall Auction House in his past life, his soul guiding device could easily sell for a thousand gold soul coins. This was still because the material was entirely made of fine iron; if he were given better materials, the price would increase even further.

This is the reason for the huge profits from soul guiding devices; it's not just about the materials, but rather the technology. A good soul guiding device provides an enhancement not much less than that of a soul ring.

Rubbing his forehead, Huo Yuhao got up and exited the room. After coming back in the afternoon, he had turned an empty room on the first floor into a makeshift workshop. By the time he came out again, the sky outside had darkened, and Huo Yun'er was joyfully tending to the potted plants he had brought back in the afternoon. She looked up at him as she heard the noise.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make dinner."

Huo Yuhao nodded, amused in his heart. When he returned with the flowers, his mother had been complaining about him spending money unnecessarily, yet now she was meticulously taking care of them, even moving two pots onto the windowsill of his bedroom.

In addition to buying flowers, to prevent Huo Yun'er from getting bored at home, Huo Yuhao had also bought back a few books. He even discovered several peculiar books in the bookstore.

The one that caught his attention the most was a strange book titled Rebirth of the Eternal God: I Am Not a Succubus, which he randomly picked up and flipped through. It told the story of a deity reborn ten thousand years before their own birth, entangled with their previous life's mother-in-law, ancestors, and various beautiful women across the continent, ultimately leading to a fantastical journey to becoming the strongest in the universe.

This included, but was not limited to, the Pope of the Soul Hall, the God of the Dragon Clan, and the Priestess of the Sea, even the mothers and aunts of his enemies were not spared. The plot was dramatic and captivating.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown while reading, lamenting that even such novels exist, indicating that the author is clearly not a serious person. Society is indeed declining, and morals are deteriorating.

After dinner, Huo Yuhao prepared the medicine for both his mother and himself, urging her to finish it before returning to his room to begin tonight's meditation and training.

At noon.

A person, attracted by the aroma, approached the stall and swallowed hard before asking, "Little brother, how much are the grilled fish?"

"They're sold out for today; please come back tomorrow," Huo Yuhao replied calmly.

The person was taken aback, then his gaze fell on the two grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's grill. "But you still have those!"

Huo Yuhao maintained his calm demeanor. "These are reserved for my friend."

"You only have these last two. Your friend hasn't shown up yet, so why not sell them to me? I can pay more!"

"It's not about the money; these two grilled fish can't be sold. Please come back tomorrow."

The person opened his mouth to say something more, but upon seeing Huo Yuhao's resolute expression, he finally left reluctantly.

Huo Yuhao then finished grilling the fish, stuffing everything from the stall into his storage space before walking out of the snack street with a gloomy expression.
