Chapter 131: Fredrinn’s Choice
This time, he received one Level Up Card and one Space Affinity Upgrade Card. The latter was quite rare and it was only the second time he received it.
Without much hesitation, Fredrinn used the two upgrade cards.
Normally, one would need to open their soul nodules to advance to the Nascent Soul realm. Every martial practitioner has four soul nodules, but they are in an inactive state. Furthermore, activating them was no simple task and it required one to be at the peak stage of the Core Formation realm to be qualified to take this step.
The first soul nodule was called Tien. It was located in the upper part of the soul, right on the head. Activating this soul nodule would awaken one's ability to use spiritual power. It was a special ability that allowed one to communicate with the surrounding elements using the soul as a medium. It was a power unique only to Nascent Soul martial practitioners.
Usually, one would experience excruciating pain to activate the Tien soul nodule, but to Fredrinn who was using a Level Up Card, he felt absolutely nothing.

"Eh? I thought I would feel something during this advancement. I even prepared some painkillers." Fredrinn muttered under his breath.
He had finally stepped into the Nascent Soul realm!
After some time, Fredrinn opened his inventory and took out the Legendary Item Selection Card.
As soon as he used the card, an array of legendary items were displayed on his screen.
Blue Heaven Lightning Sword [Legendary]
- A sword crafted by a renowned ancient blacksmith. The sword's blade was bathed in lightning, strengthening it significantly.
Energy Cannon Blaster [Legendary]
- A siege weapon crafted by an evil group of magicians. It was created for the sole purpose of destroying a kingdom!
Flame Sword Realm
- A 6th-tier Array Formation engraved by a Grandmaster-rank Array Formation Maker during the ancient era. It has both defensive and offensive abilities.
Servant Upgrade Card [Legendary]
- Using this card would promote your servant to the next realm. Can only be used for servants below the Nascent Soul realm. Cannot be used on the living beings of the Great Vemune Continent.
Pocket Dimension [Legendary]
- A small world created by a powerful being. Can only sustain magical beasts or pets. Creatures within the dimension will gain a boost in their growth and possibly awaken an inherent bloodline.
Flute of the Beast Whisperer [Legendary]
- Playing this flute will open a separate dimension and permanently summon 1000 flying magical beasts raised by the maker. This item was crafted by an ancient Grandmaster-rank Blacksmith with the help of a Grandmaster-rank Array Formation Maker.
Fredrinn carefully read the description of each item.
The Blue Heaven Lightning Sword seemed like an overpowered weapon, but he already had the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade so he crossed it out from his selection.
Meanwhile, the Energy Canon Blaster was also a powerful siege weapon, but they had no use for it in the meantime. Furthermore, the royal family was already researching the artillery created by the Blue Sky Kingdom. Thinking about this, Fredrinn also removed this item from his selection.
Among the four remaining items, Fredrinn decided to cross out the Servant Upgrade Card. It was useful, but the effects were quite limited for a legendary item. If it could be used on Nascent Soul martial practitioners or even Void Tempering powerhouses, he would consider choosing this item.
This time, only three were left after crossing out what he deemed unnecessary at this moment.
'This Flame Sword Realm seemed like a versatile array formation.' Fredrinn rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
After careful consideration, he decided to eliminate this item from his selection. This was because the recently hired Master-rank Array Formation Maker, Xavier Coldstone, was already working on a new array formation for the household. It would be redundant if he chose the Flame Sword Realm.
Finally, only two items were left, the pocket dimension and the flute of the beast whisperer.
Fredrinn spent almost half an hour thinking about which item would be the best for the present situation. In the end, he selected the flute of the beast whisperer.
The pocket dimension was definitely tempting. Unfortunately, the Firecrown Household didn't have a lot of magical beasts so he wouldn't be able to maximize its potential.
After making his selection, a golden flute appeared in his storage.
He took out the flute and observed it for a while. The surface of the flute was smooth to the touch. He tried using some force on the flute and he discovered that its material was very durable.
From the description, playing this flute would summon a thousand magical beasts. As for what kind of magical beasts, it wasn't mentioned.
"Will they recognize me as their master if I summon them?" Fredrinn muttered skeptically.
He trusted the items from the system, but this one filled him with worry. After all, he didn't know what kind of creatures would emerge if he played the flute.
"I shouldn't play the flute here. The magical beasts might trample the mansion. I should find an open space with no people around. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain the mystery of the flute. To be safe, I should bring Daphne with me." Fredrinn went to find Daphne. She was a 4th Phase Void Tempering powerhouse.
Whatever magical beasts would emerge, Fredrinn believed that she could handle them.
A while later, he found Daphne at the pavilion in the newly made garden behind the main mansion. She was chatting with his mother. He wanted to know what they were discussing, but they immediately stopped talking when they saw him approaching.
"My son, what brings you here? Do you need something?" Margaret smiled at him.
Fredrinn bowed to his mother. "I don't want to disturb you two, but there is something I'd like to discuss with Daphne. It's quite urgent." He muttered with an apologetic look.
"I see. Since it's urgent, you should go with him, Daphne. We'll talk again later after your discussion." Margaret didn't make things difficult for him.
"Yes, mom. I'll see you later." Daphne affectionately held Margaret's hand. The two had grown considerably closer after spending two weeks together. Margaret already treated her like a daughter-in-law.
"Thanks, mom. I'll bring her back later."
