"Mr. Mu, may I take a closer look?"

Soon afterwards, Qing Songzi made the request.

Mutated Cannon Fragments, this type of treasure was too rare, at least Qing Songzi had never seen one before.

He was quite curious and wanted a closer look.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Mu stretched out his hand, signaling Qing Songzi to take a look at his leisure.

"Thank you!"

Qing Songzi, overjoyed, thanked him and took the cannon fragment for closer examination.

After a short while, he couldn't help but infuse a trace of internal force into it, and soon…

"How is this possible?"

Qing Songzi appeared taken aback.

Upon infusing the internal force, the cannon fragment emitted a startling white light, revealing an extremely powerful energy.

Unfortunately, no matter how much internal force Qing Songzi inputted, the energy within the fragment couldn't be activated.

This meant the cannon fragment couldn't be utilized as a true treasure.

"This... this cannon fragment, can't it be used?"

A look of disappointment crossed Qing Songzi's face as he looked at Xiao Mu.

If it were unusable, what was the point of the cannon fragment?

Independently of the mutation, this kind of mutation had no significance.

"It indeed can't be used."

Xiao Mu nodded.

"This..."

The obvious disappointment on Qing Songzi's face revealed that a useless fragment, even if held in hand, was meaningless.

"Mr. Qing Songzi, please see."

Upon seeing Qing Songzi's disheartened expression, Xiao Mu quickly guessed his thoughts, pulled out another item and placed it in front of Qing Songzi.

"This is..."

Upon catching a glimpse, Qing Songzi's eyes widened in disbelief, "The blueprint for an Powerful Spirit Cannon? Is a Powerful Spirit Cannon a treasure?"

Xiao Mu nodded and explained, "Mr. Qing Songzi, this blueprint is intended to be paired with the Mutation Cannon Fragments. With the Mutation Cannon Fragments and this blueprint, utilizing Spiritual Metal, a true Mutated Cannon can be crafted."

"Although the power of this cannon might not compare with a true Powerful Spirit Cannon, I believe that with the Mutated Cannon Fragments and the crafted cannon, the power should still be considerable."

The Mutated Cannon, in a sense, belonged to a class of treasures that surpassed the level of this world.

Consequently, even if Xiao Mu had the blueprint, under normal circumstances, he still couldn't craft it.

Having the Mutated Cannon Fragments changed the game. By combining the fragments, according to the blueprint, a scaled-down version of the Mutated Cannon could be created.

Although it was just a scaled-down Mutated Cannon, in the current world's paradigm, its appearance and potent power would be enough to strike terror into the inhabitants of this world.

The blueprint for the Powerful Spirit Cannon was drawn up by Xiao Mu, who was inspired by the blueprint for the Evil Cannon and lightly altered the blueprint for an ordinary, rudimentary ancestral cannon, costing Xiao Mu 30 Energy Points for a single mutation.

"This..."

Qing Songzi's mouth gaped in shock, completely at a loss for words.

The shocks brought by Xiao Mu were too many today; first, there was the Overlord Blade Slash Army Technique, then Mutated Cannon Fragments, and now even the blueprint for the Mutated Cannon was taken out.

In the face of all this, other than being shocked, what else could he say?

The impression he was left with was as if he was dreaming.

While Qing Songzi was marvelling, Xiao Mu once again retrieved the components of the Evil Cannon from the Earth Seal Space.

These components were all crafted by the Evil Ghost Artisan, using Spiritual Metal combined with evil substances. If reconstructed, they could yield Spiritual Metal.

"Mr. Mu, what is this?"

Upon seeing the components of the Evil Cannon, Qing Songzi's face twitched a couple of times.

The Evil Cannon, crafted by the Evil Ghost, even just the components, radiated a strong malignant absurdity due to its infusion with evil substances during its creation with Spiritual Metal. This gave off an unyielding sensation, inducing a fear in the heart.

Even Qing Songzi, with his considerable power, felt a degree of discomfort when he saw these components.

Xiao Mu explained, "These are the components I obtained from the Evil Ghost Secret Realm. After the Evil Ghost obtained the Mutated Cannon Fragments, it initially planned to craft an Evil Cannon."

"An Evil Cannon?"

Upon hearing these words, Qing Songzi's face changed in a variety of expressions.

Just from hearing the name "Evil Cannon," it didn't sound like anything good, probably similar to the Powerful Spirit Cannon and belonging to the category of Mutated Cannon.

The only difference was the Powerful Spirit Cannon was suitable for humans while the Evil Cannon was suitable for absurd evil beings.

If it were not for Xiao Mu informing him, he wouldn't have known that the Evil Ghost was actually crafting an Evil Cannon.

If Nanke City still had him as the master, and he let the Evil Ghost successfully craft the Evil Cannon, Qing Songzi dared not imagine the consequences.

Realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "These are all components of the Evil Cannon. They were crafted by the Evil Ghost, using a combination of Spiritual Metal and various evil substances. Mr. Qing Songzi, if you have people recycle these components back into the furnace, Spiritual Metal can be re-obtained. Then, combine this Spiritual Metal with Mutated Metal, according to the blueprint of the Powerful Spirit Cannon, this should allow the crafting of a Mutated Cannon."

"What Mr. Mu says is right!"

Listening quietly to Xiao Mu, the joy on Qing Songzi's face grew even stronger until he finally exclaimed with joy, "Mr. Mu, if we can really craft the Powerful Spirit Cannon, I think for this battle, victory for our Nanke City is within grasp."

"Don't say that just yet, who knows what other tricks the Evil Ghost has up its sleeve. In any case, the task of crafting the Powerful Spirit Cannon, I'll leave it to Mr. Qing Songzi."

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, unperturbed, and then pushed the blueprint of the Powerful Spirit Cannon towards Qing Songzi.

Qing Songzi's role was basically akin to Nanke City's steward.

At least for now, with the imminent war against the absurd evil beings.

As to what he would evolve into after the great war or if he would part ways with Xiao Mu right now, that was difficult to say.

But at least for now, in order to achieve victory against the absurd evil beings in battle, Qing Songzi, in any case, would stand by Xiao Mu's side.

Therefore, Xiao Mu was quite at ease in handing over the Powerful Spirit Cannon blueprint to him for its crafting.

"Mr. Mu, rest assured, I will give my full cooperation to make sure the Powerful Spirit Cannon is forged as soon as possible."

Upon receiving the blueprint, Qing Songzi's mood was uplifted.

Clearly, the blueprint and materials brought out by Xiao Mu gave Qing Songzi a great deal of confidence for the upcoming battle against the Evil Ghost.

"Then I'll leave this to you, Mr. Qing Songzi."

Xiao Mu courteously replied.

"Mr. Mu is being too courteous, we are all doing this for Nanke City, there is no need for such formalities."

Qing Songzi didn't care for it much, shook his head slightly, "The Great War is imminent, with the lives of millions in Nanke City hanging in the balance, everyone should contribute. My small contributions for the war, what do they count for? Moreover, this is what I'm supposed to do."

Xiao Mu nodded, the response was within his expectations.

Just as he was about to say something else, a female worker hurried in, her face drained of color, "Master Qing Songzi, it's bad! The Evil Ghost army has assembled outside Qiwu Mountain Train Station, threatening to make us hand over the so-called Mutated Cannon Fragments. If we refuse, they will charge into the train station and initiate the war."

"What?"

Qing Songzi's face drastically changed and he stood up abruptly.
