347: Seventh-level space soul guide?

A moment later, the three arrived outside Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng's workshop and pushed the door open.

"Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng, the two distinguished guests who wish to repair their spirit tools have been brought," the receptionist said.

"Good, you may leave now."

Inside the room, a man of about forty was tinkering at a table, which was covered with various parts and accessories.

This was Grandmaster De Cheng, the top-tier Tier 3 Soul Guider in East Sea City.

He was compressing his Soul Power, forming it into a very fine, sharp, needle-like shape, to engrave an array onto the core component!

That's right, he was carving the core array of a spirit tool.

"Please find a place to sit, both of you, and wait until I finish what I'm doing," Grandmaster De Cheng said, then continued to focus on his work.

Ye Wen and Qian Renxue didn't disturb him; it was a good opportunity to observe how Soul Guiders carved core arrays.

Both of them released their Mental Energy to investigate; every action, every detail and step of the Soul Guider was fully observed by Ye Wen and Qian Renxue.

However, the technique for a Soul Guider's core array was not that simple; even with their powerful Mental Energy, they couldn't learn it by watching once or twice. To master these skills, they would definitely need to find a Great Master to teach them properly.

This Tier 3 Soul Guider in front of them was also an option.

The two first tried to secretly learn a bit. To be honest, they didn't quite understand it; they could grasp a little, but mastering it was clearly a long way off.

After waiting for about half an hour, during which Ye Wen and Qian Renxue also watched for half an hour, Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng finally completed the engraving of the core array. This was a Tier 1 core array.

For a Tier 3 Soul Guider, it was naturally not a big problem.

He put down the items in his hands, looked at Ye Wen and Qian Renxue, and said, "You two want to repair a spirit tool, right? Please take out your damaged spirit tool and let me see it first."

"Here," Ye Wen pulled out the damaged spatial spirit tool, which was a ring-shaped spirit tool.

Grandmaster De Cheng looked at it, first stunned: "What... what type of spirit tool is this?"

"Storage type, spatial spirit tool."

"What? It's actually a spatial spirit tool. Hmm, this will be difficult. Let me take a look, but I can't guarantee I can fix it." Grandmaster De Cheng frowned, sensing the increased difficulty.

"Why? Is it more difficult to repair spatial spirit tools?" Ye Wen asked curiously.

"Of course, spatial spirit tools are much more difficult than ordinary spirit tools. They require much more precise and detailed techniques. Look for yourselves, with such a small ring, the core array will be even smaller. Engraving an array on such a tiny core, even the slightest deviation or mistake will lead to failure!"

"And spatial spirit tools also require special manufacturing methods, which are much more difficult than close-combat or long-range types," Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng said earnestly, then slowly picked up the ring Ye Wen had taken out.

"This! This!!!" Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng's eyes widened with increasing surprise as he looked.

"What's wrong now?" Ye Wen asked.

"This age, this old appearance, this craftsmanship and skill... this spatial spirit tool must have been made at least tens of thousands of years ago, right? Where... where did you get such an antique!" Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Wen said, "Don't worry about where it came from. Just tell me if you can fix it."

"Let me see, let me see." Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng immediately took out a magnifying glass, then released his Soul Power and injected it into the ring.

Soon, he searched around the ring and finally found a core array that could only be seen with a magnifying glass.

"The core array is damaged, and the extent of the damage is very severe; at least one-third of the area has been erased," Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng said, continuing to observe.

After observing for a full three minutes, he finally widened his eyes, utterly astonished: "Both of you! This... this is at least a spatial spirit tool made by a Tier 7 Soul Guider!!!"

"A Tier 7 spatial spirit tool requires at least a Tier 8 Soul Guider to repair!!!"

"A Tier 7 spatial spirit tool? You mean this little thing is actually a Tier 7 spatial spirit tool?" Ye Wen was a little surprised, not expecting this item to be so high-grade.

"Yes, the larger the storage capacity of a spatial spirit tool, the higher its tier. A Tier 7 spirit tool is nothing, but there are only a handful of such spirit tools in the entire Sun Moon Continent."

Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng was a bit tempted. He quickly said, "Little brother, why don't you just not repair it? Repairing it would definitely cost a high fee. How about selling it to me at a high price?"

"No, I won't sell it. Since you can't fix it, we'll have to find another expert." Ye Wen took back the spatial spirit tool and then asked, "Can we get our deposit back?"

Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng felt very regretful: "Alas, alright. As for the deposit, since I can't repair it, you can naturally get it back."

Qian Renxue asked, "So, that means for this ring, we at least need to find a Tier 8 Soul Guider to repair it, right?"

"Yes."

"Where can we find a Tier 8 Soul Guider?"

"Haha, such high-level Soul Guiders are rare throughout the entire Sun Moon Continent. Most are controlled by the Empire or major powers. They don't take private jobs. If you want to find a Soul Guider, you should go to Sun Moon City, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire."

"There's the most famous and profound Soul Guider Academy in the entire continent there. It's said that there are quite a few Tier 8 Soul Guiders," Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng said.

"Thank you." Ye Wen nodded, then said, "There's one last thing, Great Master Grandmaster De Cheng, why don't you teach us how to make spirit tools?"

"Huh? Sorry, I no longer take disciples." Grandmaster De Cheng waved his hand, flatly refusing.

"We are willing to pay a high price for you to teach us," Qian Renxue said.

"I won't teach no matter how much money you offer. I, Grandmaster De Cheng, am not short on money," Grandmaster De Cheng refused again.

"No room for discussion?" Ye Wen asked.

Grandmaster De Cheng said, "No room for discussion."

"I think there's still room for discussion, isn't there?" Ye Wen said, then released his Spirit, the Abyssal Demon Dragon. spirit rings appeared one by one around his feet. To avoid appearing too astonishing, Ye Wen changed his spirit ring colors, suppressing them to yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—a basic top-tier configuration.

"Roar!!!"

The terrifying roar of the Abyssal Demon Dragon Spirit echoed throughout Grandmaster De Cheng's business building.

Grandmaster De Cheng was scared stiff: "Wh-what the heck!!!"
