**************************************************************************************

Going on the Xingluo Empire merchant ship to Yueshu Island, Xu Zihuang gained a general understanding of Yueshu Island through the map.

There are a total of seven cities on the island of Yueshu, but apart from the main city, Yueshu City, the other six cities are much smaller with a resident population of only about 100,000.

The sky in the distance is clear and the sun is going down, the Yueshu City built along the coast stands in it, like a fairyland on earth.

The majestic and huge city wall, which is not covered in half, comes into view, giving people a majestic feeling.

The port on the north side of Yueshu Island leads directly to the city gate of Yueshu City, and the road is full of traffic and vitality on both sides.

Xu Zihuang stretched out his right hand to lightly cover the scorching sun. He grew up in Mingdu, in the north of the Sun Moon Empire, and was not used to the climate of this southern country.

But it wouldn't matter if it had any effect on him.

With his current physical state, he can completely avoid the cold and heat, he soon got used to the dazzling sunlight with a little cloud cover and walked steadily towards the Yueshu city gate.

From the noise of the surrounding people, he even heard the accents of the Star Luo Empire, even the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire.

And the number is not small.

Randomly stopped by a shop that sells special local fruits from Yueshu Island, Xu Zihuang asked for an ice-cold juice, he inadvertently asked the middle-aged shopkeeper that he was busy:

"Elder, isn't this Yueshu Island the territory of the Sun Moon Empire? Why did I hear so many accents that originally belonged to the three great empires of the Douluo Continent?"

The middle-aged merchant knew that Xu Zihuang's identity was unusual when he saw that Xu Zihuang exuded nobility in his gestures, accompanied by Meng Lang and five people standing respectfully behind him.

Replying with a respectful expression: "Young Master, you are not a native of Yueshu Island, are you?"

"More than 4000 years ago, wars broke out frequently between the Sun Moon Empire and the three major empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent."

"Although the Southern Islands are small in size, they have never been affected by the flames of war. More than four thousand years have passed, and intermarriage has evolved to the current situation."

As he spoke, his hand movements were not slow, cut off the tough skin of a gray-brown fruit, insert it into a finger-length green bamboo stick, hold it with both hands, and hand it to Xu Zihuang, smiling.

"Chenghui, five copper soul coins."

Without Xu Zihuang's instructions, Meng Lang behind him had already taken out a shiny silver soul coin from the soul tool and placed it on the table.

Xu Zihuang sucked on the fragrant and cold juice without waning interest.

With Yueshu Island as his starting point, he doesn't mind wasting time understanding the situation here carefully.

The port to the north was only a few kilometers from Yueshu City, and soon Xu Zihuang led the crowd and entered after paying the entrance fee of one silver soul coin.

The wide and tidy main street is enough to accommodate more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages passing side by side, and tall buildings rise from the ground.

The general color is white gold, which is very different from the cities of the Sun Moon Empire itself.

Just as the middle-aged merchant said before, after more than four thousand years of intermarriage, the people living in Yueshu City are no longer the pure race of the Sun Moon Empire.

Skin color is the most intuitive characteristic of the people of the Sun Moon Empire, it is generally a dark complexion, but in Yueshu City there are not a few people with fair skin like Xu Zihuang.

And the clothes are very bold, from time to time, some girls with sweet smiles would pass by, exposing large areas of fair skin, and they could clearly feel the fragrance wind blowing.

Although Xu Zihuang's current clothes are very low-key, it is only a tight black dress, the exquisite and flawless facial features, and the noble dark purple eyes are still very eye-catching.

Furthermore, Meng Lang and the other five followed calmly, before taking a few steps, and there was a huge stir.

Most people flash a good-natured smile.

No matter who Xu Zihuang is, it's better if you can get along, and if you can't, then it's better not to easily offend him, anyway, it's just smiling.

Xu Zihuang showed helplessness and lost interest in further wandering, still underestimating his appearance.

Just as he passed a roadside store, his pupils suddenly narrowed, he stopped and looked through the clear glass window next to him, and saw a tray wrapped in red cloth.

As a spiritual attribute soul master, he deeply felt an indescribable sharpness.

Sensing Xu Zihuang's strangeness, Meng Lang quickly asked, "What is it, young master?"

"Let's go into this store and take a look." After saying this, Xu Zihuang opened the door and entered.

Sitting in front of the counter of this shop is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, a pair of narrowed small eyes, and particularly thick eyebrows, and looks very distinctive.

The moment Xu Zihuang entered, his eyes lit up, and he lightly rubbed his hands together.

"Young master, do you want to buy something, this shop has all kinds of rare metals, and there are many high-quality soul guides..."

Xu Zihuang looked at him with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. The fat middle-aged boss who talked about it all the time also became a bit unnatural.

"Young Master..."

"Take a look at what's on that tray." Xu Zihuang did not hide his intentions from him.

The fat boss followed Xu Zihuang's gaze, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, he pondered for a moment, and then put a flattering smile on his face.

"Young master you have very good eyesight, you found the most valuable treasure in my shop at a glance."

Holding the tray with both hands, he returned to Xu Zihuang's body, and the fat boss lifted the red cloth that covered him.

There is no dazzling brilliance or incomparable brilliance, nothing else appeared, which is just a seemingly ordinary item.

The items on the tray are very small, about half a foot long, and only about the thickness of a finger.

From bottom to top, it's a change from wide to narrow, and the top is a sharp-looking point, at the bottom, there's a sharp blade about a half-inch wide.

The whole is simple and dark, with faint decorations engraved on it, exuding a dim and ancient atmosphere, but also a bit depressed.

Xu Zihuang, Meng Lang, and the others behind him are very familiar with this article.

This is what a soul engineer uses to engrave the core magic circle.

Any soul engineer should have a Carving Knife, which is a must for making soul tools.
