Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

After buying some high-quality vegetables and fruits, we set off for our destination.

"Mea~"

Sure enough, it was another year of no growth.

The little lamb that recognized Qianshui came running over excitedly and gently rubbed against Qianshui's trouser leg.

"I've become more handsome and stronger, and I didn't expect you to recognize me! That's quite an achievement~ Here's a good reward for you!"

"Mea~"

The little guy narrowed his eyes, seemingly proud.

When Hu Liena finally gave up looking for Qian Shui and returned to her dormitory to rest, she also witnessed Qian Shui teasing the sheep.

At the same time, her worldview collapsed!

In Hu Liena's eyes, a very handsome young man bent down and smiled as he stroked the adorable little lamb. His white and gold outfit accentuated his outstanding temperament, making the little fox blush slightly.

As she approached and examined the person closely, the person turned their head, revealing the other half of their face, which had a complete handprint and was swollen.

At the very moment of collapse, Hu Liena recognized Qian Shui!

"Senior brother?!"

Then she remembered the poem that Qian Shui would occasionally recite in a pretentious manner, such as "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd."

Unexpectedly, Qian Shui came directly to her house, and she was so beautiful!

But it's strangely normal!

After all, it's perfectly normal for Qian Shui to be strange, but if he were to become normal, like wearing normal clothes, shaving his beard, and looking clean and tidy, that would be too abnormal!

Therefore, the slap mark makes perfect sense. Hu Liena is certain that only Qian Shui could be beaten like that and still be alive and kicking!

Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?

"Where did you go?! I've been looking for you for ages! I went to the Papal Palace, but the teacher said you had important business to attend to. I came out and asked other people, and that's when I found out you got a beating from the teacher as soon as you came back!" Hu Liena stood with her hands on her hips, her voluptuous figure indicating she was entering puberty.

"Hey senior, why do you always make the teacher angry?"

"I provoked her? Why would I provoke her? I'd be a fool to listen to her!"

"Senior brother, a teacher is still a teacher. She would never harm you. Although you won the elite tournament and are very popular, but..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hu Liena was not only full of 'ruler, parent, teacher' mentality, but also said, "What do you mean by 'high popularity'? Putting everything else aside, if you trust her so much, that's your business. You've been tricked by her countless times."

Hu Liena stomped her foot in anger, "Senior brother!"

……

Finally, Qian Shui got information about herself from Hu Liena.

"Uh... this is way too exaggerated!"

Qian Shui would never be a fan of celebrities. No matter how outstanding a person is, they are still just a person. Just because someone has something doesn't mean they don't have to poop.

"Exaggeration? Senior brother, don't you understand what you did? A one-on-one fight..."

"Stop again! What does this have to do with anything? Why didn't you do that?!"

Hu Liena hesitated for a moment; it would be a lie to say she didn't, but she said, "That's because you, senior brother, usually..."

"That's it? Ugh~ Just thinking about it makes me shudder! Why don't you wash your ass? It'll grow hair!"

"But senior brother, you don't wash either..."

Back then, Qian Shui worked day and night, never going back to his room, let alone taking a shower or sleeping.

"Shut up! My soul power is cleansing! How can you say I don't need to cleanse!"

Chapter 92 Departure, Nottingham City

In short, Hu Liena learned a method for using clean soul power from the Qian Shui pit.

'Hehe, so that's how it is. No wonder my senior brother doesn't smell weird even though he's so slovenly!'

"Senior, can't you just stay? If it really comes down to it, I'll talk to the teacher."

Hu Liena still felt this was not good, as she would easily find herself caught in the middle and suffer when Qian Shui and Teacher Bibi Dong had a conflict.

"No, no, no! Thank you!"

'Bibi Dong will only go mad more and more, eventually losing her basic humanity. I'd rather stay as far away from her as possible!'

"What is it that you're doing this for?"

"Kid, mind your own business! Go and cultivate!"

"what the hell!"

"Damn it, Bibi Dong can actually tell who's the enemy and who's the friend."

Your ultimate goal is to destroy the world, and even the Spirit Hall was planned to be destroyed! Do you expect me to help you?

When the plan was completed, well, I was only on my first tribulation when, bam, I got struck by lightning and died!

Ouch! My face hurts terribly, and I don't even know how many blood vessels in my internal organs have burst. This is insane!

Without lingering, Qian Shui left the lamb in Wuhun City, bid farewell to Hu Liena, and set off that very night.

"Based on the timeline, Tang San is 6 years old this year, which is when his martial soul should awaken. It's the beginning of the year now, so the primary soul master academy shouldn't have started yet. There's still time, but we need to hurry!"

He couldn't be sure if Tang Hao had been following Tang San the whole time; if not, that would be fine.

But if he were to follow him indefinitely until the rabbit enrolls in school, he would have no chance at all, and as a member of the Spirit Hall, he would be in danger. Currently, he wasn't confident he could escape alive from a Title Douluo, especially since Ghost Douluo was no longer by his side.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from Wuhun City. After a forced journey of over a hundred kilometers overnight, they arrived at the Fasno Province. This place was located on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and Wuhun City was situated right between the two great empires.

Along the way, the area seemed quite backward, at least not comparable to the vicinity of Tiandou City, let alone Wuhun City, which had a hexagonal city wall thirty meters wide.

To be honest, this level of architecture would be considered a marvel even in the industrial age. Qian Shui was well aware of the implications, so he was even more amazed.

He was unaware of the productivity structure of the Douluo Continent. If the Martial Soul Civilization could complete such a project without modern industrialization and organizational capabilities, then it could only be attributed to the miracle of the High Energy World.

But if it's not like this, it means a terrible social reality!

However, it seems that Bibi Dong has already begun preparations for a new Papal Palace. At that time, in addition to the special status of the Douluo Palace, the main buildings of the Papal Palace and the Elder Palace will be combined into one.

It's estimated that the original secret room definitely won't exist anymore, and certain people won't allow it to continue existing.

However, these things are no longer his concern, and he will not be returning to Wuhun City for a long time to come.

Thanks to Bibi Dong's rage, Qian Shui, under the pretext of going to the City of Slaughter, gained almost complete freedom. After all, you see, finding Yu Xiaogang takes time, right? Hunting a suitable fifth spirit ring takes time, right? And doesn't he need some more time to adapt?

Moreover, Bibi Dong is not idle and cannot go to the City of Slaughter to check where she is all the time. As long as she keeps her whereabouts secret, she is free.

Even if no one cares about him after he leaves the City of Slaughter, he will have a window of opportunity before Bibi Dong personally checks whether he is there!

"Let's have some fun! Dugu Bo has already packed everything up and taken it all away, who can stop me? After catching the rabbits, I'll gather the immortal herbs! Invincible!"

Unlike Chrysanthemum Douluo, there was no speculation about leaving Dugu Bo in the Slaughter City. Simply put, there was no direct conflict, so there was no need to kill them all. The punishment for touching the Slaughter City was severe enough, to say the least, worse than death.

More importantly, if other people are gone, there will be no one left for the hot pot, which can be said to be the real purpose.

Rather than saying that keeping this group of people around was to control Ning Fengzhi and the Tiandou royal family, it would be more accurate to say that the most important target was Dugu Bo!

Even the entire plan could be abandoned, but Dugu Bo could not be spared.

How many people are in the assassination squad? What are our plans? How many people do we need to kill? What is the desired outcome? The most crucial reason is that Dugu Bo is involved!

If it weren't for Qian Shui's personality, he could have just finished the match and gotten rid of it directly. Why make it so complicated?

For Qian Shui, the whole incident was nothing more than a scheme designed specifically for Dugu Bo. He wouldn't have risked his life if it weren't for the Xiancao cheat.

However, it's not advisable to specifically target Dugu Bo; it can only be dealt with incidentally in the open, otherwise it would attract too much attention.

You should know that Chrysanthemum Douluo is very knowledgeable about immortal herbs. If Dugu Bo hadn't been brought here, the only way to obtain immortal herbs in the early stages would have been through brute force.

In that case, the hot pot with two broths would inevitably be exposed to Bibi Dong's eyes, and how many points could Qian Shui possibly gain?

Even if it's about winning people over, it should be him who does it, not his crazy teacher.

Weighing the pros and cons, he preferred not to touch the hot pot, otherwise he would have already led his men to kill Dugu Bo.

The biggest gain this time was actually Bibi Dong's anger. She punished him, seemingly taking back all of Qian Shui's power and protection, but he was now free!

Only if no one is following can the rabbit be obtained, instead of being caught by Bibi Dong and used as the seventh soul ring for the Soul-Devouring Spider King.

After all, he hasn't reached the required level to absorb for 100,000 years. It would be great to find a place to raise him. The key is to live long enough. Even if he can't practice the cultivation methods of soul beasts, they can still verify each other's knowledge.

Finally, there's the Immortal Herb. If Ning Fengzhi and the others hadn't caused such a commotion, things would have been really difficult. Only if Qian Shui left the City of Slaughter would he have a period of free movement, but even then, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Dugu Bo alone.

As I pondered this, Nottingham on the map drew ever closer.

Qian Shui planned to first visit the 'Blind Douluo' to share in the good fortune of the Blessed Divine Hand, and then slowly make other plans.

"Ning Fengzhi is such a good person. He not only sold out his entire sect, but also gave me such a big gift. I can't bear to cheat him anymore~"

If killing is all that matters, what's the point of having a brain?

The most brainless thing to do is to cultivate until you are invincible, one person and one sword, invincible under heaven!

Next time I see her, I'll have to persuade her to go back to Wuhun City, so she doesn't have to go through all this trouble.

The ultimate strategic goal is to lure Dugu Bo away, secure the hot pot without injury, and perfectly complete half of the mission.

Having incidentally seized control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heaven Dou Empire now has the funds for its infrastructure development plans.

What kind of lousy roads are these? How are we supposed to advance with troops on these? Let's build roads first and then talk about swallowing up Xingluo!

Then he got Bibi Dong under his control, perfect!

Let's go, let's go see the ceremony of the apprenticeship ceremony! It's a pity we can't record it!

Muttering to himself, he quickened his pace, and soon, the small border town of the Heavenly Dou Empire appeared before Qian Shui.

……

Far away in Tiandou City, the situation on this side was not so satisfactory.

"Sect Leader Ning, I heard that His Majesty intends to renovate the palace and has decided to start road construction in order to transport large volumes of building materials. Is this true?"

"The bishop's information network is indeed excellent."

"Sect Leader Ning, don't you think this matter is extremely profitable?"
