Chapter 171 The Problem of the Iron Hand Group
The Real Domain's improvements had not reached their limit, but Fang Che believed there was no need to continue improving it.
Because continuing to improve it would enhance the Real Domain's concealment ability, leading the Emperor Plane Will to mistakenly believe Fang Che had condensed an ordinary domain.
The Emperor Plane Will had long ago bestowed upon Fang Che the method for condensing an excellent domain; if Fang Che were to display an ordinary domain, he would instead easily attract the Emperor Plane's attention.
Therefore, the current Real Domain was already good enough, and further improvements would be detrimental to Fang Che.
Fang Che then checked the resources he had collected these days and found that they were sufficient to meet the promotion requirements.
Fang Che immediately took out a portion of the resources and began refining tools that would allow his magnetic field to align with himself and the Plane.
The initial method for refining these tools was simple: one only needed to melt different materials, mix them according to specific proportions, and then cool them.
However, after Fang Che's improvements, when refining the tools, one also needed to engrave different hidden array patterns.
Only by ensuring all arrays resonated with each other could Fang Che successfully set up the Real Domain he needed.
The first tool Fang Che refined was the simplest one, to be placed in the peripheral area of the Plane.
Fang Che mobilized energy, injected it into the tool, and continuously altered the energy output ratio.
Under the erosion of different energy ratios, the materials quickly melted.
Fang Che enveloped these materials, allowing them to mix together, then shaped the contact areas of these materials into different patterns and cooled them.
The cooled patterns interlocked, forming a more complex pattern, which was part of a hidden array!
When this part of the hidden array cooled, Fang Che controlled one-tenth of the remaining melted materials to completely envelop and cover the array, forming a sphere.
Immediately after, Fang Che condensed a new array on the spherical Plane, and once the array was complete, he controlled the remaining melted materials to cover the array, shaping it into a sphere once more.
At this moment, the simplest magnetic field resonance tool had been refined!
However, completion did not mean success. Fang Che released a stream of energy, injecting it into the sphere from a specific position.
After continuously outputting energy for a period, a golden sphere suddenly condensed on the left side of the sphere.
This indicated that the array within the sphere could channel energy and could be used for setting up arrays!
The tool was successfully refined!
Fang Che took out a brush, marked the sphere, put it into his storage ring, and began refining the next sphere.
Half a year later, Fang Che had successfully refined three thousand five hundred and ninety-two magnetic field resonance tools.
Only the most difficult eight tools remained unrefined.
These eight tools required the use of Concession Tokens, which were bestowed upon Soul Masters by the Emperor Plane and could be detected by the Emperor Plane.
Fang Che had to move far away from the Emperor Plane, shield the Emperor Plane's Perception powers, and then refine these eight types of tools.
Fang Che decided to directly go to the Plane provided by Hong Fei, refine the tools there, and advance to the Fourth Rank.
Before leaving, Fang Che also needed to fulfill the Iron Hand Group's contract.
Fang Che stayed in his room, silently adjusting his state.
A day later, a voice came from the door's tool: "Someone's here."
Fang Che put the Temporary Child of the Plane Token into his Niwan Palace, got up, opened the door, looked at Li Xing outside the door, and invited him in, saying, "Junior, please come in."
Li Xing entered the room, placed a pile of contracts on the table, then handed the Iron Hand Group's emblem to Fang Che, smiling, "These are the contracts to be signed today. You've worked hard."
Fang Che took the emblem and said, "After signing all of today's contracts, Junior will prepare to break through to the Fourth Rank."
Li Xing was slightly stunned, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face. Immediately after, Li Xing forced a smile and said,
"You know Soul Masters could have broken through years ago, but you've waited until now. Whatever your reason for not breaking through, I am very grateful to you!"
"Junior is too polite," Fang Che respectfully lowered his head, not getting carried away by a few words of gratitude. He quickly changed the subject and asked,
"When Junior joined the Iron Hand Group, it was agreed that before advancing to the Fourth Rank, I would use the Temporary Child of the Plane Token to ask a question for the Iron Hand Group. Does the Iron Hand Group have any questions they wish to ask?"
Li Xing asked with some anticipation, "We want to know, where is the opportunity that will help our Iron Hand Group's leader, Su Ye, advance to the Eighth Rank?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Che closed his eyes, his consciousness entering his Niwan Palace, and he made contact with the Temporary Child of the Plane Token.
The next second, a vast and ethereal power enveloped Fang Che's body, and the eye of the plane instantly condensed in his Niwan Palace.
Fang Che immediately mobilized energy and condensed Li Xing's question:
[May I ask the Plane Will, where is the opportunity that will help the Iron Hand Group's leader, Su Ye, advance to the Eighth Rank?]
The eye of the plane gently rotated, condensing a jade pendant that fell into the Niwan Palace.
Immediately after, both the eye of the plane and the Temporary Child of the Plane Token disappeared.
Fang Che opened his eyes, flipped his palm, took out the token left by the eye of the plane, handed it to Li Xing, and said,
"This is what the eye of the plane gave me after I asked the question."
Li Xing quickly took the jade pendant, observed it carefully, and then smiled, "This is a one-time sound transmission token. The person who crushes the token can listen to the sound inside. Thank you."
Fang Che shook his head and said, "Junior is too polite. Junior plans to leave this place in a while to advance to the Fourth Rank outside. I'm bidding you farewell in advance."
Li Xing smiled and said, "I wish you a successful promotion to the Fourth Rank. When you return, I will give you the Plane I promised you before."
Fang Che respectfully said, "Thank you, Junior."
Li Xing laughed, "No need to be polite, I'll be leaving now."
"Junior, take care."
After Li Xing left, Fang Che checked the various items on his person, confirmed that he had not forgotten anything, immediately walked out of the Iron Hand Group, used the Transformation Array to change his appearance, put on his cloak and mask, and entered the Curse Master Mission Hall.
Immediately after, Fang Che entered a cultivation room, confirmed that he had left no marks on himself, quietly left the cultivation room, and went elsewhere.
Arriving at a hidden corner, Fang Che activated the Plane coordinates and instantly disappeared from his original spot.
In the Plane provided by Hong Fei, a cloud of smoke appeared out of thin air, and after the smoke dissipated, Fang Che appeared there as well.
Fang Che took a medicinal pill to alleviate the physical weakness caused by the Plane's pressure.
Then, with the help of a tool, Fang Che quickly burrowed underground. In the underground space, he took out a Concession Token, then took out the materials for refining the magnetic field resonance tools, and melted all the materials.
Immediately after, with the Concession Token as the core, Fang Che used the other melted materials to contact the Concession Token.
Fang Che controlled the energy to condense these materials that were in contact with the token into array patterns, then cooled them, tightly enveloping the Concession Token.
Next, Fang Che condensed layer after layer of arrays, and soon refined a brand new magnetic field resonance tool.
After testing the tool and confirming that it could be used, Fang Che used the other Concession Tokens and quickly refined the last seven resonance tools.
At this moment, all three thousand six hundred resonance tools were successfully refined!
+++
Chapter 172 Promotion to Level 4
After successfully refining 3,600 magnetic field resonance tools, Fang Che took out the Voodoo Doll and placed a portion of the magnetic field resonance tools into the Voodoo Doll's storage space.
Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to burrow underground and head to an area suitable for burying the magnetic field resonance tools.
Immediately after, Fang Che emerged from the ground, walked forward for a moment, placed a tool on the ground, and activated it.
The next second, the tool burrowed underground, and a column made of earth grew from the ground, rapidly extending towards the sky.
When the earth column reached a height of 417 meters, it stopped its growth. Fang Che took out a magnetic field resonance tool, flew into the air, and placed the tool on top of the earth.
Over these days, through Fang Che's continuous improvements, the magnetic field resonance materials not only needed to be buried underground but also needed some to be stored in the sky.
Only then could the hidden array's full power be unleashed.
Fang Che was unable to use spatial power to fix the tools in mid-air, so for now, he could only use earth to build platforms to temporarily store the tools.
Next, Fang Che and the Voodoo Doll acted separately, placing the magnetic field resonance tools in their designated positions.
After half a year passed in this manner, 3,592 tools were placed in their fixed positions.
Fang Che took the last eight tools, which had melted Concession Tokens, to the most central location of this Plane.
Fang Che condensed an eight-meter-high mud pillar, sat cross-legged on top of it, and used curse energy to control the eight tools, placing them simultaneously in eight important positions around him.
The moment the tools entered their important positions, all of them instantly became illusory and released energy, merging into the Plane.
Immediately after, the sky darkened, the ground trembled, and beasts roared.
This was the Plane Will's resistance.
However, the Plane Will was the collective will of all living beings, and since the living beings were weak, the Plane Will's strength was also very weak.
Coupled with Fang Che's use of countless resources to refine the tools, the Plane Will's resistance only lasted for eight seconds.
After eight seconds, the entire Plane returned to calm.
At the same time, the Plane coordinate in Fang Che's Niwan Palace also dimmed and emitted a strong hidden energy.
At this point, Fang Che had completed the preliminary preparations and could now hold the promotion ceremony, seize the Plane Will, and advance to Fourth Order!
The promotion ceremony involved using the Elemental Body skill to continuously expand the ethereal body.
The ethereal body had an expansion limit, and reaching this limit would result in the Professional's death.
However, the materials for the promotion ceremony allowed the ethereal body to exceed this limit.
Professionals who had condensed an Ordinary Domain or an Excellent Domain could, when their ethereal body expanded to its limit, summon a rule power related to their profession and condense a Domain.
Professionals who had condensed a Perfect Domain could expand their ethereal body to cover the entire Plane, then sacrifice the Plane Will to condense a Domain.
As for Fang Che's Real Domain, it also involved expanding the ethereal body to cover the entire Plane.
However, Fang Che did not need to sacrifice the Plane Will; instead, he needed to seize the Plane Will.
Fang Che adjusted his state slightly, then etherealized his entire body and began to expand outward.
As his ethereal body expanded outward, Fang Che felt a tearing pain.
However, when the ethereal body touched the area where the resonance tools had disappeared, the tearing sensation instantly vanished, and the ethereal body expanded effortlessly.
After expanding for a while, Fang Che again felt a tearing sensation, but the ethereal body quickly touched the locations where the tools had been placed, and the tearing sensation disappeared again.
In this state of alternating tearing and ease, Fang Che's ethereal body continuously spread, filling the air and underground; Fang Che's ethereal body was everywhere.
After an unknown amount of time, the ethereal body touched a hard barrier and could no longer expand.
Fang Che understood that he had reached the gas barrier at the edge of the Plane.
This gas barrier was an important barrier that protected the Plane from erosion by stellar energy; any Plane that had created life possessed this gas barrier.
As the ethereal body diffused throughout the entire Plane, Fang Che's thought moved, and a portion of the mist in the core of the Plane gathered, condensing into a humanoid curse master gem.
The curse master gem emitted a strange aura, and the suppressed Plane Will was instantly drawn by this strange aura, desperately gathering towards the curse master gem.
However, due to the presence of the magnetic field resonance tools, the Plane Will could not move an inch and was completely bound in place.
Seeing this, Fang Che used his ethereal body to release energy, controlling the magnetic field resonance tools to open a tiny passage.
A portion of the Plane Will slipped through the crack and instantly merged into the curse master gem, attempting to erase Fang Che's consciousness and take over the curse master gem.
Fang Che's consciousness also rapidly absorbed the Plane Will, seizing the Plane Will in this manner.
Whenever Fang Che's consciousness was unable to absorb the Plane Will, Fang Che would control the magnetic field resonance tools to suppress the Plane Will again.
With the help of the magnetic field resonance tools, Fang Che quickly absorbed the Plane Will completely.
At this point, Fang Che had already seized the Plane Will, and the final step was to spread his own will to fill the entire Plane.
Fang Che instantly etherealized the curse master gem, and the etherealized curse master gem rapidly diffused. During the diffusion process, Fang Che's consciousness also merged into every area of the Plane.
When Fang Che's consciousness diffused throughout the entire Plane, a mysterious energy was released from the Plane, merging into Fang Che's ethereal body.
Fang Che instantly understood that this was the Plane establishing a connection with Fang Che's body.
Once the connection was established, Fang Che would be able to acquire the Domain skill.
However, in the Emperor Plane, the Domain skill was bestowed by the Emperor Plane Will.
If Fang Che acquired the Domain skill prematurely, he would definitely receive significant attention from the Emperor Plane.
Fang Che had spent several years improving the Real Domain and did not want all his efforts to be in vain at this point.
Therefore, Fang Che immediately severed the connection between the Plane and himself, and re-coalesced his body.
At this moment, Fang Che's strength was between Third Order and Fourth Order. As long as he returned to the Emperor Plane, he could immediately obtain the Domain skill bestowed by the Emperor Plane Will and advance to Fourth Order!
Fang Che quickly activated the Plane coordinate, and a mist enveloped Fang Che's body.
The next second, the mist dissipated, and Fang Che returned to the Mission Hall of the Emperor Plane.
Immediately after, a vast and ethereal power enveloped Fang Che's body.
Fang Che closed his eyes and saw the eye of the plane in his Niwan Palace!
At this time, the eye of the plane was filled with doubt, its pupils constantly rotating, observing the situation in Fang Che's Niwan Palace.
Fang Che clenched his fists, feeling a bit nervous, and waited silently.
After a long time, the eye of the plane's doubtful emotion disappeared, and it released a stream of energy, merging into the curse master gem.
In an instant, the curse master gem acquired the Domain skill, and a powerful Domain force was released from the curse master gem.
Immediately after, Fang Che's body was rapidly strengthened, and his overall strength quickly reached the basic standard of a Fourth Order Curse Master; however, the strengthening of Fang Che's body did not stop.
+++
Chapter 173 The Planar Effects of Cursed Items
Fang Che, a Fourth-Order Professional, already possessed a Domain, equivalent to an ordinary Fifth-Order Professional, which affected Fang Che's body strengthening process.
The strengthening of Fang Che's body only ceased when his physical quality surpassed that of a Fourth-Order Curse Master, reaching the standard of a top-tier Fourth-Order melee Professional.
At this moment, without using skills, Fang Che was capable of engaging in close-quarters combat with all Fourth-Order Professionals!
If he were to use the power of the Real Domain, no Fourth-Order Professional would be Fang Che's opponent!
Now, even without using the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, Fang Che was sufficient to be invincible among his peers!
When the body strengthening stopped, the promotion plan on the curse master gem also changed, becoming a plan to advance to Fifth-Order.
And this plan to advance to Fifth-Order was equivalent to other people's plan to advance to Sixth-Order!
Fang Che's attention quickly shifted from the promotion method, contemplating the next cultivation issues.
After ordinary Professionals obtain an ordinary Domain and an excellent Domain, they need to devour Other Planes, using the energy of Other Planes to patch up Domain loopholes and expand their Domain.
When the Domain loopholes are fully patched, they become qualified to advance to the next level.
Of course, most people are not in a hurry to advance, but choose to find more Planes to expand their Domain power.
Because after promotion, the Domain becomes fixed and cannot continue to expand.
Soul Masters like Gu Ning, who obtained a perfect Domain, also face the dilemma of their Domain being unable to expand after promotion.
Therefore, Soul Masters will not be in a hurry to advance either.
However, Fang Che's Real Domain was unique.
Fang Che's Real Domain was like Other Planes; when Fang Che completely surrounded the nearby Planes, he could advance at any time.
Even after Fang Che advanced, he could still devour Other Planes and expand his own Plane.
Now, for Fang Che, the most important thing was to return to his Plane, activate the Concession Token's ability, and allow the Plane to gain the power of self-preservation.
Fang Che immediately rented a cultivation room, and after leaving through the cultivation room, he activated the Plane coordinates and returned to his Plane.
As soon as he returned to the Plane, Fang Che released his Domain skill.
In an instant, the entire Plane vibrated, and profound energy merged into the curse master gem, fusing with the Domain skill.
Not long after, Fang Che's Domain became deeply connected with the Plane.
From this moment on, even without using Plane coordinates, Fang Che could easily return to his Plane.
Of course, when Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane, he still needed to use Plane coordinates.
Fang Che directly took out the Plane coordinates, threw them on the ground, and used them as a tool to return to the Emperor Plane.
Subsequently, Fang Che atomized his body, spreading throughout the entire Plane.
At this time, the Plane seemed to have become a part of Fang Che's body.
However, Fang Che could not yet control this 'Plane body,' as if he were a patient confined to bed.
When Fang Che could control all non-living objects in the entire Plane, such as soil, water, and mountains, it would mean that Fang Che had completely mastered the Plane and could advance.
Fang Che's consciousness slowly permeated the Plane, and before long, Fang Che discovered a large number of dead animals and plants.
These animals and plants relied on the Plane for survival; when Fang Che seized the will of this Plane, the animals and plants had already entered a death countdown.
When Fang Che became the new Plane Will, the Plane's aura also changed, different from before.
If the animals and plants could quickly adapt to this changing aura, they could escape the fate of death and continue to survive.
If they could not adapt, their death would accelerate!
These animals and plants had little value, and Fang Che would not interfere with their life or death; everything depended on their fate.
Fang Che's current focus was on the resources hidden underground in this Plane.
Not long after, Fang Che discovered many materials that could be used to strengthen Curse Tools.
Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll, quickly burrowing underground to collect these materials.
With the help of the atomized body, the Voodoo Doll could instantly teleport to any area, quickly collecting materials.
By the time Fang Che's atomized body had spread throughout the entire Plane, the Voodoo Doll had also obtained all the suitable materials.
However, after Fang Che inspected the materials, he found that they had just reached First-Order, and if used to strengthen Curse Tools, the effect would not be too good.
Nevertheless, by virtue of quantity, these materials could also strengthen the tool's power.
Fang Che categorized these materials, took out his four Curse Tools, and placed them on these materials.
But in the next second, Fang Che still put away the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book.
The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book was already powerful enough; further strengthening it would make Soul Masters wary, so it was better to keep a low profile for now.
Afterward, Fang Che cast the Spiritual Flash skill, and all three Curse Tools were strengthened.
Fang Che immediately focused his attention on the Voodoo Doll:
[Bury the Voodoo Doll in a certain group's living area; the highest-ranking member of that group will go insane and slaughter other members within the group. The group's size must be controlled within ten thousand people, otherwise, it will be ineffective;
The Voodoo Doll can dig and travel underground, and disguise its aura as all surrounding matter;
The Voodoo Doll can hear sounds above ground and record surrounding image information;
When the Voodoo Doll attacks a certain group leader, it can increase energy consumption to completely lock onto that group leader. Before the leader loses control of the group, the Voodoo Doll will not change its attack target for any reason;
The Voodoo Doll's internal space is connected to the Real Domain. After collecting items in Other Planes, they can be directly transmitted to the Real Domain, and items within the Real Domain can also be transmitted to any Plane]
At this moment, the Voodoo Doll could handle an increased number of groups, and finally possessed the item transmission ability that Fang Che had always yearned for.
Although it wasn't transmitted to the Niwan Palace, transmitting to the Real Domain was also quite good.
Immediately following, Fang Che focused his attention on the Revenge Evil Mirror:
[When an enemy launches a mysterious attack, all useful information about the enemy can be immediately displayed on the mirror surface;
If the information of the target to be found is pasted on the Revenge Evil Mirror, the target's location can be discovered without any cost;
If materials from Other Planes are placed on the Revenge Evil Mirror, the coordinates of Other Planes can be discovered. After discovering Plane coordinates, a limb must be sacrificed as a cost]
The Revenge Evil Mirror could now find people without any cost, which was a huge improvement.
As for the ability to find Planes, it could also help Fang Che quickly expand his Plane.
It was a pity that the number of remaining weak Planes was not large, so this function could not play a significant role.
Fang Che shifted his attention and checked the Substitute Puppet's information:
[The Substitute Puppet can be dispersed into one core talisman and forty-eight Substitute Talismans. By integrating the Substitute Talismans into the bodies of eighty-seven types of Professionals, such as Curse Masters and Fire Manipulators, these eighty-seven types of Professionals can be regarded as substitutes;
When the user suffers fatal damage, the core talisman can transfer the damage to the body of any substitute, with the substitute bearing the fatal damage;
When the Substitute Talisman is stationary, the Plane Will is difficult to detect;
If the surrounding enemy's Domain range is smaller than the Real Domain, the Substitute Talisman cannot be discovered;
After the Substitute Talisman is integrated into a Professional's body, the Professional's body can be controlled through the Substitute Puppet]
+++
Chapter 174: The Iron Hand Group Provides a Plane
After reading the information about the Substitute Puppet, Fang Che discovered that these three tools, after being strengthened, all possessed Plane-related abilities.
Fang Che guessed that this should be related to seizing the Plane Will.
If the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book were strengthened now, it should also gain such energy.
Thinking of this, Fang Che was instead glad that he hadn't strengthened the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book.
If the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book also gained Plane-related abilities, it wouldn't just be the Soul Master feeling danger; even the Emperor Plane might find it troublesome.
At that time, Fang Che might not have a good outcome.
Afterward, Fang Che put away the three tools, sensed the Plane's situation with his atomized body, and released the energy within his body to slowly control the Plane.
When the energy was exhausted, Fang Che directly absorbed the energy inherent to this Plane, and then used that energy to continue controlling the Plane.
Professionals, when devouring Planes and strengthening their Real Domains, all need to consume energy.
Once their energy is depleted, they will travel to Other Planes to absorb and store energy.
As for the devoured Plane, it will not provide energy; instead, it will mobilize energy to resist the devouring.
However, Fang Che had completely seized this Plane, so this Plane would not resist Fang Che, and all its energy was at Fang Che's disposal!
After a period of quiet, Fang Che felt somewhat annoyed, so he recalled his atomized and dispersed body and returned to the Emperor Plane via the Plane coordinates.
The moment he returned to the Emperor Plane, Fang Che immediately felt a familiar aura.
This aura permeated the surroundings, giving Fang Che a feeling of still being in the Real Domain.
After a slight Stunned, Fang Che walked out of the Mission Hall.
Once outside, the familiar aura from before disappeared.
Fang Che walked around the Mission Hall once, and finally understood why the familiar aura felt familiar.
The aura emanating from this Mission Hall was equivalent to the magnetic field resonance tool Fang Che had refined using the Concession Token!
Moreover, this Mission Hall was integrated with the Emperor Plane, becoming a part of the Emperor Plane, and Fang Che had no way to damage the Mission Hall in the slightest.
Fang Che, deep in thought, went to the Mission Halls exclusive to other professions.
These profession-exclusive Mission Halls did not have that familiar aura.
However, based on Fang Che's experience in setting up formations, the locations of these Mission Halls were peculiar; if arranged into a formation, they could maximize the power of the All-Profession Task Hall!
Afterward, Fang Che ran to other academy areas to observe the situation of the Mission Halls.
Fang Che discovered that the aura of these All-Profession Task Halls was equivalent to Fang Che's magnetic field resonance tool.
Additionally, although the distribution locations of the exclusive profession Mission Halls were different, they could all maximize the power of the All-Profession Task Hall.
A thought suddenly emerged in Fang Che's mind:
Perhaps the Emperor Plane, like the Plane Fang Che controlled, was also using the Concession Token to evade Other Planes!
With this idea, Fang Che drew a map of the surroundings in his mind, as well as the locations of each All-Profession Task Hall.
Immediately after, Fang Che, based on his own experience, thought about the best formation to activate the power of the Concession Token, and silently uttered: Observe.
A pair of illusory eyes appeared out of thin air in his Niwan Palace, observing the map with Fang Che.
A moment later, some strange spots appeared around the map.
These spots indicated the suitable locations for Fang Che to place the Concession Token.
Fang Che opened his eyes, silently calculated the locations of the spots, and then flew over.
Upon arriving at the location corresponding to the spot, Fang Che felt a very familiar aura.
Everything was as Fang Che had guessed: the Emperor Plane was arranged with many Concession Tokens, allowing the Emperor Plane to move at any time!
Fang Che did not linger too long in one place and quickly flew towards the Iron Hand Group.
Along the way, Fang Che recalled the locations of the All-Profession Task Halls he knew and drew a map in his mind.
Since the Emperor Plane was using the Concession Token to set up a formation, Fang Che could learn from it and then improve it based on the situation of his own Plane.
This improvement with a template was much more convenient than researching it himself.
By the time Fang Che returned to Iron Hand Academy, he had already recorded the All-Profession Task Halls he knew.
Fang Che entered the Iron Hand Group and went directly to Li Xing's residence, knocking on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and Fang Che immediately bowed: "Greetings, Senior."
Li Xing looked at Fang Che and smiled: "Congratulations on your promotion to Fourth-Order Professional, please come in."
Fang Che entered the room, and after closing the door, Li Xing immediately took out a Plane coordinate and said:
"You have made many contributions before, and after discussion, we have decided to give you a Plane that has already cultivated Fourth-Order Professionals!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Che's face broke into a brilliant smile.
There was a huge gap between the Third-Order Professional and Fourth-Order Professional.
A Plane capable of cultivating Third-Order Professionals might not be able to cultivate Fourth-Order Professionals.
However, a Plane capable of cultivating Fourth-Order Professionals could definitely cultivate Fifth-Order Professionals.
Additionally, since this Plane could develop to the Fourth-Order, it must have cultivated many Professionals.
If Fang Che were to devour and merge this Plane, he could rapidly expand his own Plane and enhance his own strength.
At the same time, he could also allow his Plane to acquire the Professional imprint of this Plane, which would be very convenient for future Creation of professions.
Fang Che smiled: "Thank you, Senior. May I ask, Senior, have the Professionals inside been cleared out?"
Li Xing shook his head: "No, we plan to give the Professionals inside to the Soul Master, hoping for more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Fang Che shook his head with some difficulty: "That might be difficult. The Soul Master I know doesn't like to make friends in this way."
Although Fang Che used the Soul Master's reputation to ask for a Plane, he did not intend to invite the Soul Master to devour the Plane.
The Iron Hand Group's wishful thinking was doomed to fail, and Fang Che could not give them any promises.
Li Xing listened to Fang Che's words, then, after a moment of silence, asked: "Can the Soul Master purchase the souls of these Professionals? If not, we can clear them out beforehand."
Fang Che immediately said: "They can be bought with money. What does the Iron Hand Group need?"
Fang Che believed that any living Soul Master would surely store some treasures.
If the Iron Hand Group were to clear them out, these resources would definitely be collected by the Iron Hand Group.
Fang Che clearing out these Professionals himself would yield the greatest benefit.
At worst, when selling souls in the future, he wouldn't ask for any resources himself, but would specifically exchange resources for the Iron Hand Group.
Li Xing said: "We need to think about what we should exchange for. We will give you an answer in a few days."
Fang Che nodded slightly, put away the Plane coordinates, and then asked: "Senior, can you tell me the specific information about this Plane?"
Li Xing immediately took out a notebook and handed it to Fang Che, smiling: "I was going to give it to you anyway. Do you have any other requests? As long as it's not excessive, I can fulfill it."
Fang Che took the notebook and immediately made his request: "I need a map of the Emperor Plane. The map only needs to mark the locations of the All-Profession Task Halls."
+++
Chapter 175: How to make a concession token
Fang Che now needed to understand the situation of the Concession Token being used on the Emperor Plane through the coordinates of the Soul Master General Mission Hall.
If Fang Che were to observe alone, it would probably take hundreds of years to complete.
However, the Iron Hand Group has developed for a long time and has been to many places, so they should be able to provide information in this regard.
Li Xing smiled upon hearing Fang Che's request, "The Emperor Plane map is confidential information and forbidden from being disseminated.
However, if it's just to understand the coordinates of the Mission Hall, then it doesn't meet the confidential standard.
Our Iron Hand Group's business is spread all over, so we are very clear about the situation of the Mission Hall. I will bring it to you in a while."
Fang Che smiled, "Thank you, Senior. After Senior is ready, you can inform Junior. May I ask if Senior has any other instructions?"
Li Xing shook his head, "Nothing else, you may go busy yourself."
Fang Che bowed respectfully, "Junior bids farewell."
Fang Che turned and left, quickly returning to his residence.
After closing the door and setting up the warning items, Fang Che closed his eyes and silently chanted: Observe.
Illusory Eyes condensed out of thin air, staring intently at the Plane coordinates.
Previously, when Fang Che enhanced an item, the item unexpectedly gained Plane power. Fang Che guessed that it should be related to the Real Domain.
Fang Che felt that his continuous Observe ability should also gain some Plane-related abilities due to the existence of the Real Domain.
As the Illusory Eyes condensed, the Real Domain pattern that Fang Che possessed instantly appeared in his Niwan Palace.
Immediately after, the maps of the other two Plane coordinates also condensed in his Niwan Palace.
Not long after the two maps condensed, they instantly shattered into hundreds of pieces, attaching themselves around the Real Domain's map or overlapping with the Real Domain.
Fang Che observed the improved Real Domain and found that its hidden ability was enhanced, making it harder for Other Planes to discover.
Additionally, after the Real Domain expanded, it could accommodate more Real Tokens, allowing the Real Domain to discover Other Planes from a greater distance, and its escape speed also became faster.
Not only that, the improved Real Domain could also accelerate Fang Che's speed in mastering the Plane, allowing him to advance faster!
Fang Che was slightly excited for a moment, then frowned.
Although the Real Domain could accommodate more Concession Tokens, Fang Che only had one Concession Token left.
If he were to ask Gu Ning for it, Gu Ning might not give it.
Fang Che took out the last Concession Token from his storage ring, threw it into his Niwan Palace, and manipulated his Illusory Eyes to shift his gaze and observe the Concession Token.
Fang Che now also controlled a Plane. Since the Emperor Plane could create Concession Tokens, he should also be able to create Concession Tokens.
After Fang Che carefully observed for most of the day, the improved method for the Concession Token quickly appeared around the Concession Token!
Fang Che read the improved method with great anticipation and soon understood that the refining method for the Concession Token was very simple.
The only complex step was to use the Plane Will to mobilize Plane energy, condense it into fire, and burn the materials.
Fang Che could easily solve this step, but the flames condensed by different Planes had different effects.
If Fang Che were to condense flames in his Real Domain, the Concession Token refined would only have one-thousandth of the effect of a normal Concession Token.
The only good news was that Concession Tokens could be stacked, and as long as there were enough of them, they could still exert a great effect.
Fang Che memorized the improved refining method for the Concession Token, then continued to observe the Real Domain information with his Illusory Eyes to continue improving it.
Fang Che wanted to find a brand new deployment method for the improved Concession Token.
Not long after, a new deployment method appeared.
After Fang Che carefully examined it, a look of excited joy appeared on his face.
When the Concession Token and the Real Domain were deployed together, a miraculous reaction occurred.
Now, not only was the deployment method of the Concession Token changed, but even the material processing method of the Concession Token was further improved.
This type of Concession Token, once embedded in a Plane, could merge with the Plane, and as the Plane expanded, the effect of the Concession Token would also increase!
The larger the Plane, the stronger the effect of the Concession Token!
Of course, this type of Concession Token also had disadvantages.
The first disadvantage was:
[Embedding these Concession Tokens into the Real Domain will change the Plane rules, molding the Plane into one suitable for Curse Masters to survive in.
In the future, when Fang Che creates professions, the core profession born in the Plane Will be 100% Curse Master, which can never be changed.]
Fang Che did not care about this disadvantage.
Fang Che himself was a Curse Master, and in his Plane, he would definitely focus on cultivating Curse Masters.
What's more, core professions could be continuously strengthened, gaining various abilities.
The Soul Master profession of the Emperor Plane developed in this way.
The second disadvantage of the Concession Token was: [Incompatible with the Emperor Plane's Concession Token.]
After Fang Che embedded the Concession Tokens he refined into his Plane, he would have to replace the eight Concession Tokens he had used before.
If the two types of tokens stayed in one Plane for too long, his Plane could easily be discovered by the Emperor Plane.
However, replacing the tokens too early would cause the Plane's hidden formation to collapse, which would still expose the Plane.
Fang Che could only use his Eyes ability again, adjusting the formation to find the method with the least impact.
Half a day later, before Fang Che's improved method was successfully formulated, he received a message from Li Xing.
Fang Che had no choice but to temporarily stop improving the formation and went to Li Xing's office, knocking on the door.
After Li Xing opened the door, Fang Che bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior."
"No need for formalities." Li Xing smiled slightly, took out two notebooks, and handed them to Fang Che, smiling:
"These are the items we need the Soul Master to provide, and the map you need."
Fang Che took the two items and said, "Junior will collect souls as soon as possible to exchange for the items Senior needs.
However, Junior cannot guarantee 100% whether the Soul Master will be willing to give these materials."
Fang Che did not want to agree to things too readily, in case something unexpected happened in the future, Fang Che might not be able to provide the materials the Iron Hand Group needed.
Therefore, Fang Che had to state his difficulties in advance, so that if problems truly arose in the future, Fang Che could minimize his responsibility.
Li Xing smiled upon hearing Fang Che's words, "We'll take whatever the Soul Master gives, we won't be too particular, you can rest assured."
Fang Che nodded with a smile upon hearing this, "Then Junior is relieved. Does Senior have any other instructions?"
Li Xing pondered for a moment and said, "You previously gave us a Concession Token and said you needed some materials.
Now you still have one-third of your material exchange quota, but the Iron Hand Group's materials are currently a bit tied up.
We hope to spend an additional 20% of the money to purchase the remaining quota. If you are unwilling to sell, you will have to wait three months before you can exchange for resources."
Fang Che pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "I still have one Concession Token, which I plan to sell to the Iron Hand Group, hoping that the Iron Hand Group can help me continue to collect materials."
