Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

Chapter 58 Plotting Against the Ice and Fire Dragon King

"Qinghe, don't do that." Emperor Xueye decisively interrupted him, his tone becoming serious. "When it comes to things like cultivation techniques, my royal family can just provide information and act as a go-between."

If we were to proactively send over the cultivation technique, and something went wrong during its cultivation, the responsibility would fall entirely on the royal family, which would be a huge problem.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a profound foundation; whether they verify it themselves or take the risks is none of our concern.

Xue Qinghe was slightly taken aback, then bowed respectfully: "Your subject understands. Your Majesty's considerations are indeed thorough."

Emperor Xueye sighed and looked out at the night sky. He slowly said, "The Spirit Hall's move seems generous, but it actually hides a secret."

If this technique were truly that miraculous, I don't believe they would release it directly. I suspect that what they release is most likely the basic version of the technique, while the more advanced versions are definitely hidden away within the Spirit Hall.

On the surface, they are benefiting the soul masters of the continent, but in reality, they are further consolidating their influence among ordinary soul masters without affecting their own foundation. This move can be described as killing someone by attacking their spirit!

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This old bastard is really sharp. It seems it's time to increase the dosage of poison and send this old bastard to his grave as soon as possible.

After Xue Qinghe left the Imperial Study, the night breeze was slightly cool. He stood in front of the palace gate and pondered for a moment before personally writing a secret letter and handing it to his confidant to be sent to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as quickly as possible.

The main hall and side hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were brightly lit.

Ning Fengzhi had indeed noticed the unusual behavior of the Spirit Temple these past few days.

He has sent several waves of his most capable spies to the Spirit Temple in Tiandou City to investigate, but the results have been fruitless.

Given the Spirit Hall's stringent defenses against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this was to be expected.

Ning Fengzhi was not in a hurry. He was a businessman and always believed that "money makes the world go round," and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no shortage of money.

It's okay if you can't get anything out of them now. Just find the right opportunity later and throw money at them; you'll eventually get something out of them.

However, before Ning Fengzhi could even demonstrate his wealth, a secret letter from the palace was delivered to his desk.

Ning Fengzhi opened the letter and quickly glanced through it. The usually calm and gentle sect leader's eyes lit up instantly, his breathing quickened slightly, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.

"Feng Zhi, what has made you so agitated?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was sipping tea nearby, looked up and asked with slight surprise.

Ning Fengzhi didn't say much and handed the letter directly to Sword Douluo.

Chen Xin took the letter, and after reading only a few lines, his expression changed drastically. His brows furrowed deeply: "Has the Spirit Hall gone mad? If they really have something this powerful, why would they publish the technique? Aren't they afraid that other major powers will learn it and use it to threaten their own position?"

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, barely suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and slowly analyzed, "Uncle Jian, the Spirit Hall is different from ordinary forces. They worship the Angel God and usually favor commoner spirit masters, even protecting ordinary people who haven't awakened their spirit power. Given their consistent style, it's normal for them to publicly reveal basic cultivation techniques."

He paused, his gaze sharpening, and continued, "And please note, Uncle Jian, the name of this technique is 'Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method'."

Since there's a "basic" version, there must be more sophisticated advanced versions, just like the difference between beginner and advanced meditation.

The Spirit Hall chose to release only the most basic version, meaning they must possess a more advanced version with faster cultivation speed. This is their true trump card.

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo suddenly understood. He stroked his snow-white beard and asked in a deep voice, "Feng Zhi, what should we do then?"

A glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, and he said without hesitation, "No matter what, let's buy this 'Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method' first."

According to Qinghe's letter, even the basic version is far superior to the meditation method we currently use. Let's get our hands on it first, confirm its effectiveness, and then we can plan a more advanced version.

He tapped the table lightly, his voice carrying the decisiveness and ambition of a businessman: "Immediately contact the royal family and show them that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to jointly fund the purchase of the 'Basic General Version of Meridian Cultivation Method' with the royal family."

Chen Xin nodded to indicate that he understood, and immediately said, "I will go and arrange reliable people right away. Cultivation techniques are something that cannot be taken lightly. If it really is true—the overall strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will probably have to rise to another level."

Inside the side hall, candlelight flickered.

The two top figures from their respective sects exchanged a glance, both seeing the same determination in each other's eyes.

At the same time, within the Yin-Yang of Ice and Fire, Qin Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his soul power surging around him.

"Phew~ I finally broke through to level 56!"

Counting the time, it has been almost three months since Qin Heng returned from Dou Er. In these three months, he has not been distracted by researching soul tools, but has devoted himself to cultivation.

Even so, it took him almost three months to increase his soul power by one level.

After reaching the Soul King level, Qin Heng clearly felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably. This was partly because the Soul King level possessed significantly more Soul Power than his previous levels, naturally making cultivation much slower.

On the other hand, Qin Heng's "Pure Yang Limitless Skill" is only at a proficient level now. If he could reach the minor completion stage, his cultivation speed would definitely increase significantly.

However, breakthroughs in cultivation techniques are not so simple; they require opportunities. For example, his breakthrough from beginner to proficient in the Pure Yang Limitless Technique was due to consuming the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, along with the help of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Now, if one wants to advance the technique further, an even more powerful opportunity is needed.

With Golden Crocodile Douluo currently at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qin Heng felt it was time to try exploring deeper into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to see if he could encounter the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

Even if you don't encounter it, you can still try to touch the divine soul bone left behind by the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

You must know that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were all God-King level powerhouses in their previous lives. If you can absorb their soul bones, it will definitely be a huge boost. At that time, breaking through the Pure Yang Limitless Technique will be a natural thing.

Thinking of this, Qin Heng no longer hesitated. He said to Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I sense that something at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is calling to me. I want to go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback and instinctively tried to stop him.

But Qin Heng didn't give him that chance and plunged straight down.
