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

Chapter 213 Re-entering the Stars

Ning Feiliu could only smile slightly at this; sometimes, a powerful background can indeed be useful.

However, in a life-or-death situation, this can become an even stronger reason for the other party to want to kill you completely.

After all, no one wants to be constantly hunted down by a powerful enemy.

If you let a powerful enemy go, will he be grateful to you and stop hunting you down?

No, once he goes back, he'll use all his power and connections to hunt you down.

"Alright, teacher, Sister Yan, I really should go now, but I'll be back in a while," Ning Feiliu said finally. "If all else fails, I'll write a letter back."

The speed of letter delivery in Douluo Continent is much faster, especially when Soul Masters are dispatched to deliver letters. The speed is comparable to that of modern logistics in his previous life.

After all, even if Douluo Continent is a fantastical sewer, it is still a fantasy world.

"Okay, Fei Liu, take care." Dugu Yan smiled gently and said goodbye.

"Yes, Sister Yan and Teacher, please take good care of yourselves too." After saying this last sentence, Ning Feiliu finally turned around and walked directly towards the twenty elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who had accompanied her this time.

"Let's go," he said to the elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Yes, Master."

Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo watched as Ning Feiliu, surrounded by a group of elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, slowly disappeared from sight.

Only then did Dugu Bo say quietly, "This kid... he's very wild and restless. He'll probably be running all over the mainland in the future."

Dugu Yan immediately smiled and said, "Fei Liu has this ability, so he naturally has a broad mind and lofty aspirations. Although Tian Dou City is large, it is ultimately not the place for Fei Liu to spread his wings and soar... The entire Douluo Continent is the stage for him to fully display his talents."

"Yanyan, you really are... how come you seem to have been influenced by this kid too, you've changed a lot?" Dugu Bo said with a strange expression. "But why didn't you go traveling with this kid this time? Grandpa thinks it would be a good thing for you to go with him..."

Before this, Dugu Bo had told Dugu Yan that he allowed and even encouraged her to go out and gain experience with Ning Feiliu.

After all, going out to gain experience isn't necessarily a bad thing, and Dugu Bo doesn't object to it.

Which of the current titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent didn't travel the entire continent in their youth?

Ning Feiliu is right. Only by going out and seeing this vast world can we see more things, see farther places, and gain something for ourselves.

In the original work, Dugu Yan followed the Royal Fighting Team all the way to Soto City for training, and Dugu Bo must have tacitly approved of it, so he would not object to Ning Feiliu taking Dugu Yan out for training.

But Dugu Yan refused.

because……

Dugu Yan shook her head, smiling as she looked in the direction where Ning Feiliu had disappeared from sight, and said, "I'm not strong enough... I can't help Feiliu much, and I might even become a burden to him on the way. So I think... I need to become stronger before I go and travel with him to Douluo Continent."

Moreover... this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to begin.

Although she could abandon all of this and choose to follow Ning Feiliu, she is too weak right now.

Hearing about Ning Feiliu's experiences over the past year, including facing a band of thieves who wanted to rob and kill him, killing the sons of local noble families who preyed on the common people and their powerful followers, wiping out the Fallen Village led by the Soul King, and fighting against the Soul Emperor who was eyeing him covetously...

The various events that Dugu Yan heard were both thrilling and awe-inspiring.

She also wondered if she would become a burden in such battles if she went out to train with Ning Feiliu.

Perhaps with her ability to attack multiple targets with the poison of her Azure Scale Serpent clan, she could help Ning Feiliu kill all the lower-level enemies.

However, when facing those Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, her strength would actually distract Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu wasn't too worried about facing low-level enemies.

Therefore, if Dugu Yan were to follow Ning Feiliu, she would only become a burden to Ning Feiliu.

It was with this in mind that Dugu Yan gave up her plan to disregard everything, even her participation in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, and instead train alongside Ning Feiliu.

And her consideration was correct. Ning Feiliu might eventually enter the City of Slaughter, and she wouldn't be able to go in with her, so it was right for her not to go with her.

"If I become stronger, I can go on training trips with Fei Liu and won't be a burden to him," Dugu Yan thought to herself.

As long as she breaks through to the Soul Emperor realm... even if she can't catch up with Ning Feiliu's cultivation level, she won't become a burden to Ning Feiliu.

Therefore... she must continue to cultivate diligently.

……

After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Ning Feiliu led the disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Our goal this time is to find a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that is over 50,000 years old. I entrust this task to you all," he said, looking at the disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Not at all, it is our honor to serve the Pavilion Master," said Wang Xiao, one of the two elders accompanying them, with a smile.

His strength is at the peak of the Soul Saint level, and his Martial Soul is the relatively common War Tiger. He is one of the six outer sect elders directly under the command of Ning Fengzhi.

However, he is now very fortunate to have been placed under the command of Wu Liuge by Ning Fengzhi.

Because Wu Liuge is currently the place where Ning Feiliu cultivates and produces various alchemical potions, and now, the only alchemical potion produced by the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is Wu Liuge.

Of course, the profits also go to the disciples and elders of Wuliuge.

Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is already a large and powerful organization, it treats its disciples and elders very well.

However, their businesses dealing in gems and antiques still couldn't compare to the exorbitant profits of alchemy potions, a business closely related to Soul Masters.

After all, the main theme of the Douluo Continent world is Soul Masters and powerful strength. Gems and antiques are far inferior to alchemical potions, which can directly enhance strength and even play a decisive role at crucial moments.

It's like giving you two choices: an antique worth a fortune or a martial arts manual that can actually enhance your strength.

I estimate that most people would prefer the latter.

After all, even if an antique is worth a fortune, it's just a decoration.

The income of the Martial Glazed Pavilion is quite enviable, and other disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are already considering applying to join the Martial Glazed Pavilion.

Unfortunately, their application was useless.

The Wu Liu Pavilion is a direct subordinate organization of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not the other way around.

Even if Ning Fengzhi were incredibly magnanimous, he could never encourage such a trend and allow the Martial Glazed Pavilion to replace the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, Wang Xiao and others became the first to eat the cake and even completely monopolize it.

They all knew that the privileges they enjoyed were entirely due to Ning Feiliu's outstanding creativity in creating the alchemical potion.

Therefore, they rarely felt grateful to Ning Feiliu.

Especially since Ning Feiliu is a future powerhouse with exceptional talent, and the strong are always admired.

Wang Xiao and others naturally admired Ning Feiliu even more.

"Alright, after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, we need to proceed deeper into the area of ​​ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and slowly search for Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpents that are over fifty thousand years old." Ning Feiliu didn't say much and directly stated her goal, saying, "I hope everyone will be careful not to alert the serpent if we find it."

Even after 50,000 years, the crested serpent does not possess any outstanding fighting ability.

However, a soul beast that can live for more than 50,000 years cannot be without some strengths.

The Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake's strength lies in its speed, so one can only imagine how fast a Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake that is over 50,000 years old would be.

It might just run away if you're not careful.

"Yes, we will be careful," the other elder, Feng Ximei, nodded immediately and said.

Of the two elders accompanying her this time, she and Wang Xiao were both Soul Saint level forces, but she was an agility-type battle soul master, and the disciples under her command were also agility-type battle soul masters, mainly responsible for scout work.

Wang Xiao is a powerful offensive Soul Master, and he and his disciples are naturally primarily responsible for combat.

It can be said that he and Feng Ximei had a very clear division of labor.

"Once the target is spotted, everyone remember to drink the invisibility potion immediately, then surround them, understand?" She turned to her disciple in charge of scouting and said.

"Understood!" the ten disciples said in unison.

Concealment potions can slow down the circulation of soul power and the speed of one's own life activities, while also hiding one's aura, making it difficult for the user to be detected.

This is also the second most popular potion among Soul Masters after the Swiftness Potion. Taking the Concealment Potion allows them to do many things.

As the producer of concealment potions, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally kept quite a few for itself.

Especially for Wu Liuge, Wang Xiao and Feng Ximei prepared two or three bottles of various alchemical potions and placed them in their soul tools for this trip.

Other disciples who did not have soul tools were only equipped with corresponding alchemical potions. For example, the agility-type battle soul masters who were responsible for scouting carried two concealment potions with them.

Even after they used up all the alchemical potions, Ning Feiliu still had many alchemical potions in his Iron Sun Box.

During his last training mission, he prepared no fewer than ten bottles of each type of alchemy potion and stored them in the Steel Sun Box as if they were stockpiled goods.

But over that year, almost all of those hundred-plus bottles of alchemical potions were used up.

Needless to say, upgrade potions and soul power recovery elixirs, which can increase the speed of soul power cultivation, are naturally included.

Ning Feiliu also drank a bottle of the "micro-light" that enhances combat power when facing the bandit stronghold occupied by the Fallen Soul King, and when facing the Soul Emperor.

This doesn't consume much.

Concealment potion, Eagle Vision potion, and Clarity potion were the ones he used without feeling bad, and he used them all up.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu once again stockpiled a lot of alchemy potions based on needs and consumption. This time, there were as many as two hundred bottles of alchemy potions in the Iron Sun Box.

Ning Feiliu was therefore able to provide a considerable amount of medicine to the disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With the presence of the stealth agent, they don't need to worry about being discovered by the target and can simply run away.

Then the group quickly traversed the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived directly at the area of ​​ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

For five days in a row, they gained nothing.

Because... the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is not a social spirit beast, and it doesn't even have high requirements for its living environment.

They have no survival requirements, but they also lack combat capabilities, possessing only the ability to release smoke bombs and extremely high speed.

Therefore, their survival ability is not very good, which means that there should not be many crested snakes that are over 50,000 years old.

Ning Feiliu and his group had seen many crested serpents, but none that were over 50,000 years old...

So several days passed without them reaping any harvest.

Just as Ning Feiliu was already considering whether to give up the type of soul beast that her original soul ring absorbed and stop being fixated on the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

Instead, he went to absorb a powerful 40,000-year-old soul beast at the same level.

Absorbing a soul ring from a soul beast that is not the original source of the soul ring will result in a "rejection" phenomenon.

Ning Feiliu sensed it the first time she re-absorbed her first spirit ring.

The more powerful the alien soul beast's soul ring, the stronger the rejection reaction, but it's not impossible to replace it.

However, one cannot take too many risks and exceed the previous limit in absorbing spirit rings.

Ning Feiliu was seriously considering this question, but then he ran into a dilemma. If he were to absorb a spirit ring again, he would definitely prefer to absorb a spirit ring from a spirit beast of the same race as the ferocious beast.

This also lays the groundwork for him to absorb the soul rings of those powerful ferocious beasts in the future.

However, among the remaining ferocious beasts, there are only the Hell Demon Dragon and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. The remaining ferocious beasts are either of the same kind as the Soul Beasts, or, like Emperor Tianxue, they have no other ferocious beasts of the same kind.

Alternatively, they might be like the Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, or Evil Emperor, who are not located within the Star Dou Great Forest but can only be found in places like the far north or the Sun and Moon Forest of the Sun and Moon Continent.

The far north is relatively easy to deal with, as it's located at the northernmost edge of the Douluo Continent.

However, the Sun and Moon Forest of the Sun and Moon Continent... can only be said to be separated by tens of thousands of years. Even if the Sun and Moon Continent is already on its way here, it is unknown how far away it is from the Douluo Continent.

That leaves only the Hellfire Dragon and the Darkrai Terrorclaw Bear.

However, as mentioned before, the Hell Dragon and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear... these remaining two types of soul beasts are increasingly rare.

It is estimated that the Hellfire Dragon is just as hard to find as the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that is over 50,000 years old, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is ten times harder to find than the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent that is over 50,000 years old!

But just as Ning Feiliu was in a dilemma...

"Sect Master! Elder Feng! We've spotted a powerful Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent!" Suddenly, a scout disciple landed in front of Ning Feiliu and the others, exclaiming with delight.

"Alright! Let's take the concealment potion and hide ourselves. Don't alert it. Then we'll surround it together!" Ning Feiliu immediately stood up and said.

"We've already taken invisibility potions and hidden ourselves, and we've also blocked its escape routes from eight directions around it," the scout disciple said.

All the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples who were dispatched this time were Soul Masters of Soul Master rank or above. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School uses this system to classify its elder disciples, and generally, only those with Soul Emperor cultivation or above can become elders.

All those below the Soul King level are disciples, and among their disciples are many Soul King level experts like Ning Feiliu.

However, they were no match for the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, which was over 50,000 years old and comparable to a Soul Saint.

That's why Feng Ximei and Wang Xiao need to cooperate with Ning Feiliu to capture this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.
