After leaving Jing Hongchen's office, Su Yu took Bai Feng to Xuan Ziwen's research lab.

"Senior Brother," Su Yu greeted.

"Hmm? Xiao Yu, you're back? And who is this child?" Xuan Ziwen asked, glancing curiously at Bai Feng.

Why did Su Yu bring a child here?

"Senior Brother, this is my new disciple, Bai Feng," Su Yu introduced, then turned to Bai Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, this is my Senior Brother, Xuan Ziwen. He's currently a Rank Nine Soul Engineer."

Bai Feng quickly greeted, "Greetings, Master Uncle!"

Oh my goodness, a Rank Nine Soul Engineer!

Su Yu had never told Bai Feng his own level, so Bai Feng had no idea that Su Yu, not even eighteen yet, was already a Rank Eight Soul Engineer and a Level 79 Soul Sage. Otherwise, his shock at this moment would have been even greater.

A Rank Nine Soul Engineer!

This title invoked an innate sense of awe, ingrained in every citizen of the Sun-Moon Empire.

"Haha, I haven't even mentioned it yet, and you already know. Did the Hall Master tell you?" Xuan Ziwen chuckled.

With the assistance of battle armor, he had overcome the limitations of insufficient soul power, which had previously prevented him from crafting Rank Nine soul tools. His breakthrough to Rank Nine Soul Engineer had been smooth and successful.

Perhaps resolving the long-standing knot in his heart even loosened the bottleneck in his soul power, which had stymied him for years.

Recently, he'd been in excellent spirits.

"Senior Brother, here's a Grand Restoration Pill I refined from a spiritual herb I acquired during my travels. It might be of some help to you."

Noticing the fluctuation in Xuan Ziwen's soul power, Su Yu handed over the pill.

This Grand Restoration Pill wouldn't have much effect on a typical Soul Douluo-level cultivator. However, Xuan Ziwen was a special case. Years of excessive reliance on medicinal pills had left his soul power unstable, with a weak foundation that hindered further breakthroughs.

The Grand Restoration Pill was a perfect remedy for this, capable of stabilizing his soul power and reinforcing his foundation. Most importantly, Xuan Ziwen's bottleneck was already loosening, and the pill could give him the final push he needed to break through.

Many soul engineers in Sun-Moon Hall faced similar issues due to excessive use of medicinal pills, resulting in unstable soul power.

The problem wasn't inherently with the pills themselves. After all, as soul engineers, they would naturally choose pills with minimal side effects.

The root cause lay in their approach to using the pills.

Unlike most, Su Yu took a disciplined approach to his cultivation. Whether through medicinal baths or pills, he thoroughly refined the energy they provided. He ensured that any soul power boosted by the pills was tempered, enhancing his control over it rather than leaving it unrefined and unstable.

By Soul Douluost, researchers like Xuan Ziwen, as they advanced to Rank Seven or Eight, often closed themselves off for extended periods—ten days, half a month, or even several months at a time—to focus on crafting soul tools. During these seclusions, they consumed large quantities of pills without properly refining their effects, leading to long-term side effects.

Xuan Ziwen didn't hesitate to accept the Grand Restoration Pill from Su Yu.

Though he had consumed countless pills over the years, this was his first time encountering a Grand Restoration Pill.

The primary ingredients Su Yu used in refining the Grand Restoration Pill focused on stabilizing and nurturing the foundation. Even the supporting herbs with potent effects were refined to complement the main ingredient, prioritizing its stabilizing properties.

This exemplified the art of alchemy.

Unfortunately, Su Yu wasn't particularly interested in delving further into alchemy.

Otherwise, at the very least, there should be a pill pattern drawn in the pill to help better channel its medicinal properties.

"Senior Brother, don't go into seclusion just yet. The main reason I'm here is to ask about star-attributed soul beasts. Xiao Feng's martial soul is the Star Soul Sword, and he needs a soul beast of this attribute for his first soul ring."

Xuan Ziwen glanced at Bai Feng in surprise.

"Even in the Sun-Moon Empire, we still have geniuses born with full innate soul power?"

How rare.

Without me, this kind of genius with full innate soul power would have perished before awakening their soul power.

Su Yu silently complained to himself.

"Star-attributed soul beasts that are suitable for sword-type martial souls… there are quite a few. Let me think."

Xuan Ziwen rested his chin on his hand and, after a moment of thought, began listing several suitable soul beasts, mentioning their locations in detail as well.

"Ah, right, there's also the Heavenly Star Swordfin Dragon, a variant of the Sword Dragon with star-attributed power. In the northernmost part of the Empire, outside the Polar City, there's a place called Starry Valley, where you can find traces of the Heavenly Star Swordfin Dragon. There are also some rare star-attributed soul beasts there. You could take Xiao Feng to check it out."

Xuan Ziwen provided many options, and Su Yu decided to visit Starry Valley.

This Starry Valley was a very small soul beast habitat. If Xuan Ziwen hadn't mentioned it, Su Yu would never have known.

It was just a small valley, even smaller than the Soul Hunting Forest.

Due to its unique geography, many soul beasts there had mutated to develop star-attributed powers, which gave the place some fame.

Instead of heading there directly, Su Yu first went to visit his teacher at the royal family's rear mountain.

Having returned to Sun-Moon, it would be impolite not to visit his teacher, and Bai Feng, as his disciple, should also meet the elder.

"Teacher, this is my new disciple, Bai Feng," Su Yu introduced again, mentioning Bai Feng's innate soul power.

It was clear that Kong Deming was pleased and gave Bai Feng many valuable things.

"Teacher, have you completed the Super Battle Armor?" Su Yu was still thinking about his teacher's domain-related techniques.

At the mention of this, Kong Deming became quite pleased with himself.

Using soul tools to grant soul masters domain abilities, he had developed this technique, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

In the cultivation of soul masters, whether a domain is a natural talent or acquired through a soul skill, it is extremely rare and powerful.

However, through the means of a soul engineer, one could directly obtain a domain tailored to their soul.

If this technique were made public, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.

Even most Titled Douluo or Super Douluo, with such a domain, would experience a tremendous shift in their power.

Furthermore, this domain could be customized. Not only could it be easily enhanced, but when the Battle Armor was activated, it could merge with the soul master's original domain.

For those without a domain-type ability, as long as they had a large-area, continuous soul skill, they could use the Super Battle Armor to help refine that skill into a domain, which would then merge with the Battle Armor's domain!

"This technique isn't something I can explain easily. You can first help Xiao Feng obtain his soul ring, and when you return, I'll explain it to you in detail."

Su Yu nodded. He wasn't in a hurry. After all, he wasn't yet a Rank Nine Soul Engineer, so mastering it wouldn't be an easy feat.

"I'll take Xiao Feng to get his soul ring first."

Five full days passed as they traveled to Starry Valley.

Su Yu explained the basics of soul tools to Bai Feng, while in his spare time, he studied the theory behind Rank Nine soul tools.

He set a small goal for himself: to become a Rank Nine Soul Engineer before the Soul Arena Tournament!
