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

Chapter 14 Family Feast | Sword Bone

After returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Feiliu was called to dinner.

This is what is known as a family dinner.

Ning Fengzhi, along with his sons, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, would all gather together for dinner.

This made Ning Feiliu feel a little uncomfortable with such a lively atmosphere.

However... we can't just skip a family dinner like this.

Following the original owner's memories, Ning Feiliu passed through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle and arrived at the school's main hall.

The main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also exceptionally magnificent. A huge branch-shaped cold jade chandelier hangs from the original wood ceiling that is over a thousand years old. It looks like it was carved from a single piece of cold jade.

The chandelier cast a soft light, which filled every corner of the main hall.

This is no ordinary chandelier; it is a lighting soul guide.

Ning Feiliu immediately noticed this and once again marveled at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth and power.

Meanwhile, the main hall is filled with numerous rare and precious jade carvings, and the wall behind the main hall is also a screen carved from a large piece of precious jade.

It exudes a refined and elegant style without appearing nouveau riche.

Meanwhile, several people were already seated in the main hall.

Ning Fengzhi sat at the head of the hall, still as refined and elegant as ever, appearing quite dashing.

Beside him were two elderly people.

On the left, an elderly man with a withered face is slowly sipping tea. Although he is sitting there, his physique is still astonishing.

He wasn't the kind of muscular physique with extremely large muscles, but his entire body frame was surprisingly large.

The sofa, which was originally quite spacious, seemed much smaller when he sat on it.

The clothes seemed to be stretched out of the skeleton; the muscles and skin were shriveled, and the eye sockets were sunken. If seen at night, it would look like a giant skeleton.

A few sparse white hairs lay on his scalp, making him look extremely ugly.

Without a doubt, this is none other than Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, one of the two great guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and a level 95 Title Douluo.

The other one is naturally Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Sword Douluo was dressed in a spotless white robe, with white hair and beard. His long silver hair was neatly combed down his back. He had an ancient appearance, a face as delicate as a baby's, and an indifferent expression. His eyes seemed to be unable to see anything around him.

Just sitting there, you can feel as if an invisible sword's edge is slicing through your body.

Besides these, there are Ning Fengzhi's descendants, like Ning Feiliu.

However... Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, Ning Rongrong, was missing from this list.

This was naturally because Ning Rongrong had been placed in solitary confinement.

"Third brother, you're back."

The eldest brother, Ning Mingrui, was already seated at the head of the table. He came out and smiled as he spoke to Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu also realized what was happening and stepped forward to greet Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, saying, "Feiliu greets Father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone."

This was the usual etiquette the original owner used when meeting Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, but Ning Fengzhi didn't need to do it this way.

After all, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo doted on Ning Rongrong, and only Ning Rongrong dared to play and joke with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo without restraint.

"Um."

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all nodded.

"Now that you're back, Fei Liu, let's begin our dinner."

Ning Fengzhi said.

Behind the main hall is the dining room, where a long dining table is placed.

At Ning Fengzhi's command, the servants began preparing the dishes.

Then, Ning Feiliu and the others waited for Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo to take their seats before taking their seats in order of seniority and rank.

The dinner was plentiful, but also rather bland.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo didn't say anything; they just ate in silence.

Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and the others dared not speak.

This is quite different from the original owner's memories, because Ning Rongrong was usually around.

When Ning Rongrong was around, she would act coquettishly with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo while eating, and Ning Fengzhi would occasionally helplessly call out to stop Ning Rongrong's coquettish antics.

Ning Feiliu had never felt such a significant difference in treatment.

It seems that... Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo are the real family.

His other four sons with Ning Fengzhi were completely outsiders.

Or rather, Ning Feiliu and the others are more like Ning Fengzhi's nephews than his sons.

Ning Feiliu found the meal extremely unpleasant. Even though the dishes in front of him were visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious, comparable to those in a Michelin three-star restaurant in his previous life, he found them tasteless.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not say anything to Ning Fengzhi in front of Ning Feiliu and the others because Ning Rongrong was confined.

There was also no plot point where Ning Feiliu was held responsible.

But this still made Ning Feiliu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, after the dinner party, which felt like dining with strangers, ended, Ning Feiliu returned to her room.

"No talent, no skill, isn't that normal in this world?"

Ning Feiliu chuckled and muttered something to herself.

So next... he needs to work hard to become stronger.

First of all... open a clinic and complete those tasks!

However, he must not forget to cultivate his soul power!

Upon thinking of this, Ning Feiliu sat directly on the bed and began cultivating her soul power according to the cultivation methods left behind by the original owner of the body.

This practice lasted all night.

……

the next day.

Ning Feiliu opened her eyes and smiled helplessly.

He couldn't even feel how much his soul power had increased; that must be due to the difference in talent.

The original owner had a level four innate soul power, and then, with the help of the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was able to raise his soul power to level fourteen within six years.

This was almost a two-year, one-level-plus increase in soul power, and all he wanted to do that day was feel a noticeable increase in his soul power...

That's a bit too presumptuous.

Moreover, the cultivation of soul power becomes more and more difficult as you progress. For example, the original owner only increased his soul power by six levels in three years during his Soul Master period.

However, after becoming a Soul Master, it took him three years to reach level three Soul Power...

"Now... we still need to get the Martial Soul Group forging method to see if there is any chance to defy fate. But to obtain the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Group forging method, we first need to persuade Poison Douluo to allow me to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Ning Feiliu muttered to herself, "To persuade Poison Douluo, one needs extensive experience in medicine and pharmacology to deduce his current physical condition..."

"To gain substantial experience in medicine and pharmacology, you must complete the following tasks before studying on your own..."

"Therefore, we must open the clinic as soon as possible, treat people, and earn their gratitude to complete the mission!"

Without hesitation, Ning Feiliu prepared a gold soul coin and planned to go to the area near the slums of Tiandou City to rent a place to set up a clinic.

He got up, quickly washed up, and then headed straight for his destination.
