Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"It's not that simple!" Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. "Twenty million a year, it doesn't need to be given to the Spirit Hall, it's just for investment."

What seems like childish ignorance, where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gains a huge advantage, ultimately results in us both being drawn into this endlessly compounding investment!

The initial twenty million was not much; for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was practically nothing. The Spirit Hall only needed to share the annual investment dividends, so for Ning Fengzhi, it was just pocket change that he had accidentally lost.

However, with the accumulation of each year, it has reached its seventh year, and the total investment in Jin Hun has reached 1.4 million, which actually accounts for a very large portion!

Qian Shui's strategy is based on a shareholding system. With 20 million invested separately, all the profits belong to the Spirit Hall. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's investment of this money, all its manpower and resources, are essentially working for the Spirit Hall for free.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also wants to benefit, it will have to increase its investment. If it wants to gain more, it will have to minimize the share of the Spirit Hall.

It's important to understand that there's no finance or banking system in the Douluo Continent. Ning Fengzhi can't leverage his finances, let alone easily exploit people with digital games. If he wants to make money, he has to work hard in the real economy.

Whether he likes it or not, all the accounts are open and transparent to the Spirit Hall and cannot be faked. After all, such a large sum of money cannot be spent anywhere. Ning Fengzhi has almost only one choice: to devote himself to the Heaven Dou Empire's large-scale infrastructure project.

In this way, all the accounts here, whether inflows or outflows, are completely in Qian Renxue's hands, and Ning Fengzhi can't get away with it from anywhere.

However, as the years have accumulated, the Spirit Hall's share has skyrocketed. Originally, he only needed to use 20 to offset 2, which was easy. Now, if he wants to offset 14, he has to spend 140.

But breaking the contract is impossible. Bibi Dong has become increasingly powerful in recent years, and the Spirit Hall has more and more Title Douluos on the surface. Moreover, Qian Shui's surname is Qian!

Only by relying closely on the Heavenly Dou Empire and helping Xue Qinghe stabilize the ship as if walking on thin ice, can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School avoid capsizing. Life is more important than money!

"Let's make money together... That sounds nice, but I hope that Qian Shui never leaves the City of Slaughter!"

“Charm…”

Bone Douluo may understand money, but he understood Ning Fengzhi's worries about Qian Shui.

Young, exceptionally strong, and incredibly intelligent – ​​these three contrasting qualities are extremely rare to find in one person.

No powerful figure in the world could have accomplished the same thing at Qian Shui's age.

Having strength, yet being reckless, is the norm for young geniuses in Douluo Continent.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still needs to take on more projects in Qinghe. Although Uncle Jian spends most of his time dealing with the corrupt officials in the Empire, there's no other way... Uncle Bone, after Uncle Jian returns, please tell him to make a trip to Longxing City..."

"All right……"

Bone Douluo needed to stay behind to guard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and protect Ning Fengzhi's safety, while Sword Douluo was almost constantly sent out to solve the problems in the development of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been involved in the construction of the Heavenly Dou Empire, with countless additional investments already made. Although the entire school worked tirelessly, with everyone constantly on their feet, the additional investments have yielded enormous returns, and Qian Shui did not cheat him in this regard.

No one would willingly give up such a huge pie, even if it's poisoned! Under such circumstances, the entire sect would oppose it, so how could Ning Fengzhi stop this chariot that was dragging the entire sect into it!

"By the way, Fengzhi, Rongrong, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

The only one Bone Douluo wouldn't ignore was this little princess.

But all he got in return was Ning Fengzhi's wry smile, "This child, doesn't he really like Qinghe?"

He had no time to care about his daughter, and was now eager to accomplish something, to firmly bind the increasingly powerful Xue Qinghe to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even though Ning Rongrong was only eleven years old.

But aren't there many people in Douluo Continent who get married early?

Ning Rongrong, who was far away in the Crown Prince's residence, was unaware of these thoughts. She was just a young girl in love, simply liking her Crown Prince brother, but she didn't understand that this was just her father's indulgence.

……

"Rongrong! I like you, give me a chance! Be with me!"

That day, Xue Beng, that silly boy, finally found an opportunity to confess his love to Ning Rongrong in front of everyone.

He didn't choose the Crown Prince's residence, after all, he couldn't possibly resolve the issue at his elder brother's house, could he?

But he wasn't facing a seemingly pretty and charming little princess; he was facing a fearless little witch!

"Xue Ke, it seems I can't be your sister-in-law anymore. Brother Qinghe doesn't want me and dumped me for Xue Beng! Waaaaah!"

Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke were best friends, strolling hand in hand, when suddenly an avalanche appeared, holding flowers.

Such things were common, after all, this was Tiandou City, and the tricks of the nobles were well understood, let alone the princes.

"Fourth Brother! What's wrong with you? Don't you know how Rongrong feels?" Seeing Ning Rongrong on the verge of tears, Xue Ke panicked and pulled Xue Beng aside to ask her.

"Don't interfere! We can't let everything belong to our eldest brother! I like Rongrong, and this can't be allowed!"

"you!"

"Rongrong, let's go! Let's find Big Brother and beat this guy up!"

At this point, Ning Rongrong secretly curled up the corners of her mouth in triumph and raised an eyebrow in victory.

……

Looking at Xue Ke's angry face, Ning Rongrong's aggrieved face, and Xue Beng's timid face, Qian Renxue was speechless.

"You, get back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Go and accept your punishment from your teacher!"

Pointing at the avalanche, His Highness the Crown Prince's expression was also unpleasant, and the onlookers were pointing and whispering.

Since Xue Qinghe's power began to consolidate and get on track, apart from dealing with some lawbreakers, no one has ever seen His Highness the Crown Prince so angry.

"Big brother! I love Rongrong! The empire is yours! Can't I have the girl I like?!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xue Beng was slapped away. Neither Xue Qinghe nor Qian Renxue could tolerate these words, but she was now the true person in charge of the Xue family.

"madness!"

With a wave of his hand, the Crown Prince's soldiers took the avalanche away. It was too public to lecture people in front of everyone; some things couldn't be said in public.

The avalanche was mindless; Ning Rongrong couldn't see it. All she saw was her good brother's fury for her sake, and suddenly all that remained in her eyes was starlight.

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, she softly called out, "Brother Xue~"

"Rongrong, how about you go to school tomorrow? Brother Xue is going on a nationwide inspection tour and research trip, so he really won't have time to spend with you."

He turned to face Ning Rongrong, a hint of guilt on his face, and lowered his voice, speaking only in a voice that the two of them could hear.

The patrol was top secret, and not many people knew about it, including Ning Fengzhi. There was no other way but to inform Ning Rongrong.

But Ning Rongrong didn't see it that way. 'So close in public!'

So she blushed and said softly, "Then I'll go with Brother Xue!"

Qian Renxue was really annoyed. She wasn't on vacation; she was genuinely busy. If she delayed the young girl's studies any longer, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her. Her face immediately darkened.

"Rongrong! This is not something to discuss. If you don't go to school, I will inform the teacher!"

Unexpectedly, her good brother changed his attitude so quickly. Ning Rongrong was also anxious. She was in a beautiful fantasy and didn't care about anything else. Her little devil personality came out immediately, and she stepped forward and hugged Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Xue! Rongrong wants to stay with you! Rongrong isn't going anywhere! Rongrong wants to..."

"enough!"

Qian Renxue wouldn't let her finish speaking, so she broke free from Ning Rongrong and turned to leave.

Now Ning Rongrong was left alone, crying.

...

"Sigh, why did the Fourth Prince provoke the Crown Prince? Has he gone mad?"

"I don't know if she's crazy or not, but she's really stupid. Who is that girl? She's the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the second largest sect in the world, and the apple of the eye of two titled Douluo!"

What kind of words can be said in public? Only now, with His Highness the Crown Prince's prestige rising daily, would this Fourth Prince likely not have survived tonight!

"Tsk, what a tacky love triangle! No wonder they're royalty!"

"What you said makes sense..."

Many passersby witnessed the incident, and Qian Renxue knew she couldn't hide it, so she slipped away the next day to begin her first nationwide inspection tour. She still remembered what Qian Shui had said: to see the grassroots with her own eyes.

...

"Miss, Sword Douluo has set off for Dragon Rising City. He will be waiting for Xue Qinghe's arrival there."

"understood."

Sitting atop the throne, Qian Renxue gazed eastward, towards Longxing City, a major coastal town in the eastern part of the Tiandou Empire.

……

"Senior Sea Dragon Douluo, is there another continent along the route westward from Seagod Island?"

"Yes, that continent is called the Sun and Moon Continent."

"I see. I've seen some records of that before. I'll have to take a look when I have the chance."

While waiting for the six Holy Pillars to arrive, Qian Shui asked the Sea Dragon Douluo beside him about the events on the Sun and Moon Continent.

Putting aside everything else, the presence of the Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest is a reason why Qian Shui must go there. In his plan, the soul tool is one aspect, but his ninth soul skill of his primordial spirit is reserved for the Evil Emperor, a ferocious spiritual beast.

"It's just that we, the Holy Pillar Douluos, need to protect Seagod Island and cannot travel together."

"Well, there are some things you just can't help."

Chapter 148 Group fight

Poseidon Island was bustling with activity that day. News of Qian Shui's defeat of seven Holy Pillars in half a day spread throughout the island. And just as night was about to fall, the seven Holy Pillars actually gathered together!

The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar faces the Sea God Temple directly, and Qian Shui has chosen this battlefield to be on the sea surface. Title Douluos all have the ability to fly, so there is no need to worry about that.

"Wow, you're amazing! You took care of all seven of us during the day, and now you want all seven of us to come at you at once tonight? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to handle it?"

The sea witch floated in the air, lying on her back, one hand supporting her chin, watching with great interest as Qian Shui was surrounded by the Seven Sacred Pillars. However, as soon as she spoke, the other seven looked at her with strange eyes.

Although they couldn't read Qian Shui's thoughts, the others couldn't resist the temptation. The Sea Witch stood up seriously because her brothers and sisters reminded her that the Sea God's Grand Offering had arrived, right behind her!

"Senior Poseidon, I'm in trouble!"

Qian Shui clasped his hands in greeting, but did not actually perform a formal bow; Poseidon understood his meaning.

An invisible energy fluctuation spread out on one side of Poseidon Island, clearly Poseidon's intention to block the aftershocks of the battle so as not to affect Poseidon Island.

The seven sacred pillars surrounding Qian Shui also began to release their own aura.

Seven beams of light shone brightly, and the powerful aura of the Title Douluo merged into one. Seven spiritual forces locked onto Qian Shui, naturally forming a pincer attack.

At some point, the eight people in the arena seemed to have agreed to activate their martial spirits simultaneously, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Transformation into a Divine Being! Eighth Soul Skill!"

Qian Shui acted without hesitation. 'When facing a group attack, the best course of action when at a disadvantage is to concentrate superior firepower and eliminate them one by one!'

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. As a man who pursues the fastest speed, Qian Shui's speed is beyond doubt. The Seven Sacred Pillars seem to have surrounded him, and all the pressure is poured on him. It is a situation where he is being ganged up on.
