Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 79 The Path of Light! The Spirit Herb Cleanses the Mind!

After Jiang Nannan left.

After washing up, Zhu Ziyang took out Mu En's notebook, leaned back on the bed, and began to read it.

"Light, where the heart desires, is everywhere!"

As expected of a level 99 Limit Douluo, Mu En revealed the essence of the Light attribute in just one sentence on the title page.

The attribute of light differs significantly from other natural elements. This is because light is not only a natural element, but also a special kind of energy—an energy that exists within the order of all living things.

Mu En's notes contained detailed records of the cultivation methods for the Light element. These methods were considered essential for other Light attribute Soul Masters, but they were somewhat useless for Zhu Ziyang, who possessed the ultimate Light attribute.

Zhu Ziyang was more interested in the techniques and methods for using the Light attribute recorded at the back of the notebook, which was something he lacked.

The library does contain many cultivation manuals of Light-attribute Soul Masters, mostly belonging to past Popes. However, the Popes' Martial Souls are their clan's unique Angel Martial Souls, which, while possessing Light attributes, are primarily Holy attributes. Their manuals also mainly contain cultivation insights related to Holy attributes. In terms of Light attribute mastery, they cannot compare to Mu En.

Mu En's notes were clearly completed within the last hundred years and are not included in the Super Library's collection period. Therefore, if Zhu Ziyang had not become Mu En's disciple, he probably would not have been able to obtain this book of light attribute.

"...The primary characteristic of light is brightness, which dispels all darkness and fog..."

Zhu Ziyang stretched out his palm, and with a thought, a blinding light gathered, instantly illuminating every corner of the dormitory, even the shadowy places under the bed and the table, which were completely illuminated.

"Heh!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled and said, "Isn't this something anyone with hands can do? Do you really need special training?"

He spoke dismissively, but he knew perfectly well that the reason he could so easily manifest light was entirely because he was the ultimate light.

Each element is incredibly proud. Without the ultimate attributes, how could one possibly gather countless elements into a cohesive whole without any practice?

"...Light is everywhere, gathered together to form brightness, heaven and earth become one..."

"The method of borrowing light?" Zhu Ziyang murmured thoughtfully, "Is it really reliable? My teacher specifically marked it as impossible to achieve without the ultimate attribute; he probably considered this as well. The element of light is notoriously arrogant among the natural elements!"

Zhu Ziyang continued reading Mu En's notes.

After the freshman assessment, this year's freshmen officially became students of Shrek Academy's outer academy. Now, they only need to ensure they pass the annual exams before the start of each semester and avoid repeating a grade more than three times to graduate smoothly from Shrek Academy.

The mundane yet intense college life began.

"Can you two hurry up?"

At the gate of Shrek Academy, Tang Ya looked helplessly at Zhu Ziyang and Bei Bei, who were strolling leisurely behind her, and called out in a urging tone.

"Xiaoya, why are you in such a hurry! The exchange meeting is supposed to last for three days, right? This is only the first day." Beibei said with a wry smile.

"Precisely because it's the first day, we should go even earlier! Otherwise, all the good stuff will be snatched up by the upperclassmen from other grades!" Tang Ya said sternly.

"It can't be that exaggerated!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but say. "I've inquired, and there are only thirty or forty core disciples in the entire outer academy."

"What do you mean 'only thirty or forty people'?" Tang Ya couldn't help but widen her eyes, then said to Jiang Nannan beside her, "Nannan, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"What you and your brother said makes sense. Anyway, let's go first," Jiang Nannan said, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yes, that's right!" Tang Ya nodded in agreement.

Urged on by Tang Ya, the four of them quickly made their way towards Shrek City.

Half a month had passed since the freshman assessment ended, and Zhu Ziyang and his three companions were preparing to go to Shrek City to attend an exchange meeting hosted by the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

In half a month, Zhu Ziyang and the others hadn't made much progress, except for Tang Ya. Neither Zhu Ziyang nor Jiang Nannan had used the Soul-Enhancing Pills they had obtained. Zhu Ziyang planned to use them when his soul power reached level 39, while Jiang Nannan intended to use them when she reached level 29. Tang Ya, naturally, had no such plans; for her, increasing her soul power was more important at the moment.

After receiving the Wood Spirit Pill and Profound Water Pill prepared for her by Bei Bei, Tang Ya, with the combined effect of the three pills, surprisingly leveled up from level 23 to level 26 in one go. Among the three pills, the Soul Ascension Pill was the cheapest. The Wood Spirit Pill was a high-grade pill, and its effect was comparable to a top-grade pill for Tang Ya, who possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Although the Profound Water Pill was also a mid-grade pill, its advantage lay in its rarity. As a pill monopolized by hidden sects, the Profound Water Pill had the powerful effect of cleansing the marrow and meridians and improving aptitude.

Because of her continuous breakthroughs in soul power and enhanced aptitude, Tang Ya's pressure decreased dramatically, and her originally lively nature was completely unleashed. Her highly contagious laughter could be heard almost every day.

Soon, they arrived at the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild in Shrek City.

The Soul Master Exchange Meeting is an annual grand event in Shrek City, a large-scale exchange meeting that integrates auctions, transactions, and exhibitions, spearheaded by the Treasure Pavilion and jointly organized by the five major chambers of commerce.

This year it's the turn of the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce to host it.

As core disciples of the outer academy, Zhu Ziyang and the other three were invited. As newly promoted core disciples this year, they could choose one item priced under one million gold soul coins for free at the exchange meeting.

Wow! It's so lively!

Upon entering the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Nannan exclaimed in surprise.

The Jiubao Chamber of Commerce has five floors. Except for the top floor, which is an auction hall, the other four floors are filled with stalls and shops. At the same time, each floor is crowded with people, bustling with noise and excitement.

"How so? Should we shop together or separately?" Zhu Ziyang asked.

"Let's go shopping separately," Beibei said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhu Ziyang immediately agreed, then took Jiang Nannan's hand and said, "Then we'll go first, Nannan, this way."

"Oh!" Jiang Nannan replied, then waved to Tang Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, see you at the dorm."

Tang Ya did not respond because she was pulled away by Bei Bei.

"Nannan, I'll go check out those stalls over there," Zhu Ziyang said, pointing to the area displaying medicinal herbs.

"Okay, I'll come find you later." Jiang Nannan stopped at the pill exhibit area and nodded in response to Zhu Ziyang's words. Although she really wanted to be with Zhu Ziyang, she still had things to do and had to part ways with him for the time being.

Zhu Ziyang arrived at the area of ​​medicinal herbs, randomly selected a stall, and walked over.

"Flame Flower, a common spirit herb, a rare fire-attribute plant that can enhance fire element resistance. Price: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"Ice Mist Flower, a common spirit herb, an ice-attribute spirit herb, grows on the edge of the far north and is food for some ice-attribute soul beasts. It can enhance the soul power of ice-type soul masters. Price: 8,000 gold soul coins."

"Millennium Bamboo Heart Grass, a common spiritual herb, is a type of spiritual herb that parasitizes the bodies of bamboo-type spirit beasts. It can enhance the toughness of plant-type spirit beasts or martial spirits. Price: 15,000 gold spirit coins."

As Zhu Ziyang observed, pondered, and verified, the relevant knowledge in his mind was instantly strengthened and modified. At the same time, he couldn't help but complain, "Why are they all just ordinary spiritual herbs?"

He continued walking and came to another stall.

"Flying Cloud Grass, a high-grade spiritual herb, is a wind-attribute spiritual herb that only grows on rock walls above 5,000 meters in altitude. Its growth is often accompanied by the high-grade soul beast, the Flying Cloud Ghost Eagle. It can enhance the soul power of wind-type soul beasts or soul masters and increase the strength of their bloodlines. Price: 350,000 gold soul coins."

"Azure Fruit, a high-grade spiritual herb, is a transparent spiritual herb that resembles jade. It has the function of enhancing the resilience of the meridians and strengthening the physique. Price: 800,000 Gold Soul Coins."

"..."

Zhu Ziyang looked at the exhibits on the stall in front of him and nodded repeatedly. The spiritual herbs here were all high-grade spiritual herbs, and the varieties were rare treasures that were not usually seen.

His gaze lingered, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he walked toward a spiritual herb with white petals.

"Qingxin, a high-grade spiritual herb, is a beautiful flower that grows on mountain peaks. It can enhance mental strength and the power of martial souls. It is an extremely rare spiritual herb. Price: One million gold soul coins."

Upon seeing the Heart-Cleansing Herb, Zhu Ziyang immediately decided to choose it. Herbs that can enhance spiritual power are rare; every one encountered is one less available!
