Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 126 Dugu Bo's Feelings

"What are you yelling about, kid?" Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, woke up from his cultivation and looked at him helplessly.

Recently, in addition to taking the medicine made by Ning Feiliu to expel the poison into his soul bone, he has also been constantly cultivating with the Moon Essence Breathing Technique afterward.

It was only because when he was expelling the poison into his soul bone, he vaguely sensed that the bottleneck that had been firmly blocking his way for so many years seemed to be loosening.

This was not only due to the feedback from the Azure Scale Serpent venom entering his soul bone, but also because of the unique healing effect of the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, which made his body recover faster and faster.

In fact, Dugu Bo's body was already broken due to years of suffering from the venom of the Jade Scale Serpent.

For ordinary people, if they are tormented by illness for many years, they will definitely become thin and emaciated, and they will have difficulty even getting out of bed, let alone walking.

But Douluo Continent is an extraordinary world, and Dugu Bo is a titled Douluo, so he doesn't seem so miserable.

In fact, his health condition is still not optimistic.

Even though he drove the venom of the Azure Scale Serpent into his soul bone, most of the soul power he gained from the feedback was integrated into his body during the process of repairing his physical body.

However, with the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, which could both accelerate soul power cultivation and repair physical injuries, not only did the soul power feedback fail to repair the body, but it also made Dugu Bo's cultivation speed even faster.

Anyway, he had a special feeling that in less than half a year, while the toxins had been almost completely eliminated, it seemed that he was about to break through the bottleneck of level 92.

Most importantly, Dugu Bo felt that his level 92 soul power was probably not his limit. With the Moon Essence Breathing Technique, he even felt that he could break through to level 93, 94, and so on...

However, while level 93 might be able to break through quickly thanks to the feedback from expelling the poison into the bone, level 94 and beyond... are probably just a dream.

But even having a thought is at least giving you something to look forward to.

Once you reach the Title Douluo realm, you'll generally have a vague feeling about whether you can break through further or whether there's any possibility of advancing even further. You'll probably have some sense about these things.

In the original story, Bone Douluo himself said that he knew his talent was probably only at level 95, which was inferior to Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo's father was the same. After reaching the limit of his talent, he knew that he would never be able to cultivate steadily and break through to level 98. So he chose to take a risk and challenge Qian Daoliu, intending to break through the limit through the great terror of life and death.

This all suggests that powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level seem to possess a unique ability to "know their destiny."

Originally, Dugu Bo knew that he might have no hope of breaking through to level 92 of soul power.

But now, thanks to Ning Feiliu, not only has the problem of toxins in my body been resolved, but I also feel that I can break through to a higher level.

Therefore, after having this feeling, Dugu Bo also began to cultivate his soul power again day and night.

However, Ning Feiliu, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly shouted, which aroused his curiosity. He even stopped cultivating his soul power and stopped cultivating to see what was going on.

"Little Fei Liu, what have you accomplished?" Dugu Yan was the same, recovering from her cultivation state of absorbing moonlight.

Ning Feiliu took a deep breath, her face lighting up with elation, and said, "I've figured out the recipe for a pill to enhance soul power! It's in these essence blood components! A portion of these essence blood components, combined with some medicinal herbs, can create... a pill that not only enhances soul power cultivation but also cleanses the marrow and even improves talent!"

After completing the mission, he obtained the complete recipe for the Xuan Shui Dan... or rather, the enhanced version of the complete recipe for the Xuan Shui Dan.

After removing unnecessary and useless components, the pure ingredients are combined and synthesized at the maximum effective dosage to create an enhanced version of Xuan Shui Dan!

However, Ning Feiliu was not sure how much the enhanced version of the Xuan Shui Dan would improve its efficacy.

However, this enhanced version of the Xuan Shui Dan formula contains an increase in ingredients such as those that supposedly promote soul power, activate soul energy, expand meridians, contain magical beast protease, and contain free pure soul power.

Therefore, the efficacy of the medicine can definitely be increased by about 50%.

In fact, the original novel stated that the Xuan Shui Dan is different from the Sheng Hun Dan, which can only be taken once in a lifetime. This means that the Xuan Shui Dan should be able to be taken a second time.

This is probably because the purity of the ingredients is not high enough, or it varies from person to person due to the issue of drug tolerance.

Most Soul Masters don't reach their maximum potential improvement after taking the Profound Water Pill for the first time, so they need to take a second one.

However... it's definitely more cost-effective to upgrade to the maximum level in one go. Putting aside the cost issue, the issue of secondary tolerance to the drug's effects makes it less practical to upgrade to the maximum level in one go.

"Little Fei Liu...you succeeded again." Hearing this, Dugu Yan said with a beaming smile.

For her, she had always unconditionally believed in Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu's claim that she had developed such a pill didn't surprise her at all; she was simply happy for Ning Feiliu.

Dugu Bo's eyes showed a hint of surprise and doubt; a pill to enhance soul power...

Even in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the Douluo Continent, in that glorious, powerful, and ancient Douluo Continent civilization that developed the ability to create soul tools, such a pill never appeared.

Did this kid actually make it?

However... if a martial spirit can be reforged, what about a pill?

If such a pill were to appear, even if it only increased the soul power by one level within the low-level soul master realm, it would probably drive countless soul masters crazy!

After all, soul tools may not be a necessity for soul masters, but cultivation is absolutely fundamental to them!

"You kid... are you really sure you can make this kind of pill?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! Teacher! Can I collect some herbs from your Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? I'll make them for you right now!" Ning Feiliu said confidently.

"Whatever." Dugu Bo glanced at Ning Feiliu, rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly.

This kid... he's good at everything, but why is he always so polite?

This kid ruined all the herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and he didn't even get angry.

But this guy was so polite, he even asked him if it was okay...

Is that even a question?

When this boy marries Yan Yan, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can be given to him as Yan Yan's dowry.

All I can say is that in the Douluo Continent, a world that is almost a feudal society, although betrothal gifts and dowries also exist, their betrothal gifts and dowries are basically equal!

"Thank you, teacher." Ning Feiliu smiled and went directly to the ice and fire Yin-Yang Wells around him to find the herbs he wanted.

Then, at his alchemy lab bench, he manipulated various alchemy instruments, skillfully separating and then synthesizing the various active ingredients together.

Finally, in the glass dish, three pills the size of large blueberries were synthesized, except that they were dark blue.

The pill had many white patterns of varying shades on it, and a thin layer of mist surrounded it.

A faint, refreshing fragrance lingers in the air, its aroma already delightful and soothing.

"This is the unique pill you were talking about, kid." Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan came to his side, and Dugu Bo said curiously.

"Yes, the students call it the Mysterious Water Pill." Ning Feiliu smiled slightly and said, "However, this Mysterious Water Pill... can only enhance soul power if taken by soul masters below level 20. But for soul masters above level 20, although it cannot significantly enhance soul power, it can still enhance innate soul power by at least one level, which means enhancing talent. Moreover, it can also cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body."

"It can only increase the soul power of soul masters below level 20 by one level..." Dugu Yan was somewhat disappointed.

She and Ning Feiliu were both at least level 30 or higher, so these pills wouldn't help them at all; they could only be used to make money...

However, Dugu Bo was not surprised. After all, he had obtained the soul beast blood essence and herbs. Didn't he know that the highest source of the soul beast blood essence was only a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?

Although it comes from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, you should know that the purest and most concentrated part of a soul beast's energy is the soul ring and soul bone that they condense after they die.

If there is no soul bone, then only the soul ring is where eighty percent of the energy of a soul beast's entire body is gathered.

Even if this so-called essence blood is extracted while the beast is still alive, it at most accounts for about ten percent of the remaining soul beast's energy.

With this much essence blood, unless it's combined with the immortal herbs that Ning Feiliu mentioned before, how could it possibly allow a Soul Master at the Soul Sect level or above to increase their Soul Power by one level?

"That's already pretty good, and you're talking about increasing your innate soul power by one level? Regardless of your cultivation level, you're talking about a soul master?" Dugu Bo asked with a strange expression.

"That's right. If you take it now, you can also increase your innate soul power by one level, greatly increasing your cultivation speed," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

During the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, it was probably unexpected that there were powerful figures at the Title Douluo level who had never taken the Xuan Shui Pill, so this situation was not discussed.

However, based on the efficacy of the Xuan Shui Pill, even a Title Douluo, if he has never taken the Xuan Shui Pill before, can still enhance the manifestation of his so-called talent—innate soul power, even if he cannot cleanse his marrow and bones.

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with intense light. If that were really the case... then his chances of breaking through to a higher level in the future would be even greater!

At this moment, Ning Feiliu picked up three Xuan Shui Pills and handed two of them to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

He then said with a smile, "Teacher, Sister Yan, why don't you try the medicine first and see how effective it is? Please be my guinea pigs."

Although Ning Feiliu said that, neither Dugu Bo nor Dugu Yan felt any aversion to it.

Dugu Bo caught a Xuan Shui Pill, didn't even glance at it, and threw it into his mouth. "Hmph! I'd like to see if your Xuan Shui Pill is really that miraculous!"

Dugu Yan, needless to say, accepted the Xuan Shui Pill and smiled at Ning Feiliu, saying, "Little Feiliu~~ thank you so much..."

Ning Feiliu didn't stand on ceremony in the face of Dugu Yan's gratitude, but he smiled and reminded her, "Sister Yan... I need to remind you of something. After you finish absorbing the Profound Water Pill, a layer of impurities might surge out of your body due to the cleansing and marrow-cleansing process... Should you prepare your clothes in advance and find a place to wash up?"

Dugu Yan was initially quite pleased, but upon hearing this, she exclaimed "Ah!"

"Oh no! That won't do! It would be so embarrassing!" she quickly said. "Then I won't eat now, I'll eat when I get back."

"Alright then," Ning Feiliu said with a wry smile.

Then he took the Xuan Shui Pill himself, and then... took off his shirt, naturally to avoid getting impurities on it.

As for his pants... he couldn't very well take them off in front of Dugu Yan.

The only option is something a little more convenient: just take off your shirt. After all, in this era where there aren't even washing machines, it's good to wash one less piece of clothing!

He picked up the Mysterious Water Pill, swallowed it, and began to practice the Moon Essence Breathing Technique.

The moonlight was drawn into his body, falling on his sharply defined muscles, making him appear both holy and strangely alluring.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan blushed slightly, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ning Feiliu's muscles.

Ning Feiliu could only say—who among my family understands? I ran into Nv Ning today.

Ahem, just kidding. Anyway, Ning Feiliu doesn't care about that.

He was bathed in the condensed moonlight, and his body also emitted specks of blue light. Against the backdrop of the silver moonlight, the faint blue light emanating from him was particularly noticeable.

Moreover, one could see that a thin layer of water mist seemed to float on his body surface, and a faint fragrance emanated from the mist.

And his skin seemed to be undulating slightly, with tiny streams of air constantly emanating from his pores.

The pale blue mist kept flowing in and out of my pores.

As time went by, the color of the mist gradually deepened, while the fragrance gradually faded.

This is because... what followed was a foul stench.

Ning Feiliu's originally robust body, which was interspersed with silver and blue light, slowly began to ooze a layer of black mud!

It resembled a long-fermented, rotten sludge!

This is what is known as the "washing of tendons and marrow" that removes impurities from the body!

In reality, these bodily impurities are simply cellular waste produced when the body breaks down weak, aging cells to provide nutrients for the growth and division of other strong cells.

The process of "washing the tendons and marrow" is essentially about repairing and healing the weak and chronic parts of the body, making them stronger. At this point, the damaged, weak, and aging cells that have been repaired can only serve as nutrients.

This is actually something the human body does all the time, but the process of "washing the tendons and marrow" makes it more intense and direct.

Ning Feiliu also felt extremely comfortable, as the meridians in her body continued to expand, and the soul power flowing within them became even stronger!
