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

Chapter 259 Ancient Relics

The names of the Dragon God and Snake Goddess are certainly quite prestigious.

This couple debuted very early and are exceptionally strong, especially Long Gong Meng Shu. Long Gong was already at the Soul Saint level a long time ago, and now he has reached the Soul Douluo level.

Most importantly, Dragon Lord's martial soul is a dragon-headed cane, which complements Snake Lady's snake-headed cane. The couple possesses an extremely domineering martial soul fusion skill that is difficult to resist unless one has the strength of a Title Douluo.

That was when Dragon Lord was still at the Soul Saint realm, and his Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Snake Lady was already that powerful.

After all, the characteristic of a Spirit Fusion Skill is that it can unleash power exceeding that of the strongest Spirit Master among those who activate the skill, based on the current level of that strongest Spirit Master.

In other words, a Soul Saint-level Soul Master can use a Soul Fusion Skill to challenge a Soul Douluo who is of a higher level.

Moreover, the spirit fusion skill of Dragon Lord and Snake Lady is not that simple. According to the original work, when Dragon Lord and Snake Lady, who are at the Soul Saint level, use their spirit fusion skill, it is "difficult to resist unless one has the strength of a Title Douluo".

In other words, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not just that they can challenge Soul Douluos of a higher level, but that they can defeat the vast majority of Soul Douluos.

Now that he has become a Soul Douluo, the combat power of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill is probably already at the level of a Title Douluo.

Therefore, in the later part of the original story, when the Spirit Hall attempted to assassinate Tang San outside Spirit City, Long Gong showed no fear in the face of the Spirit Hall's powerful members.

Only when he saw Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did he retreat.

Indeed, this was the case. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a wide and dense intelligence network, so they knew long ago that the Dragon Lord had broken through to the Soul Douluo realm and had even faced a Title Douluo without being at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady, a couple comparable to titled Douluo level, are quite famous.

After all, there were only so many Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent era. In fact, it wasn't until the later final battles that the old guys from the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship came out, and the Clear Sky Sect ridiculously went into seclusion for more than ten years and produced four or five more Title Douluo.

There are very few well-known Title Douluos at present, and half of them are from the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady, whose combat power is comparable to that of a Title Douluo, are quite famous.

but……

"We are disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and my father is Ning Fengzhi," Ning Feiliu said with a slight smile.

Then a pagoda appeared in his palm.

It was indeed the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, but Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang didn't look closely and thought it was the Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

Immediately, they stopped doubting Ning Feiliu and the others' identities.

The great thing about Douluo Continent is that you can easily prove your identity by obtaining a martial soul, and the martial souls of the direct disciples of major forces are basically the same.

Of course, that's the problem; revealing your martial spirit makes it impossible to hide your identity.

Ning Feiliu smiled slightly.

As for fame, it seems like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't famous at all.

Sure enough, the Dragon God and Snake Goddess, along with their granddaughter Meng Yiran, all changed their expressions.

"So you're a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..." Meng Shu said with a smile, "May I ask your name?"

"Junior Ning Mingrui," Ning Mingrui said, bowing slightly.

"This junior is Ning Rongrong," Ning Rongrong politely introduced herself.

"Junior Ning Feiliu," Ning Feiliu said with a faint smile after withdrawing her martial spirit.

When they heard Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong's names, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang simply smiled and waited. But when they heard Ning Feiliu's name, their expressions changed instantly.

"You are... Ning Feiliu?" they asked incredulously.

Meng Yiran, who was standing to the side, immediately changed her expression. She had been staring intently at the purple-gold jackal in front of Ning Feiliu, but now she looked at Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu maintained her smile and said, "If there isn't another disciple with the same name as me in the direct line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then it must be me."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Yes, who else could be such a young, powerful, and direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, besides the peerless genius Ning Feiliu?

"Young Master Ning, it's an honor to have heard so much about you." Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang immediately became even closer, and Meng Shu said with a smile.

"This is our granddaughter, Meng Yiran," Meng Shu introduced Meng Yiran, adding, "Yiran, aren't you going to say hello?"

"My name is Meng Yiran. I greet you all." Meng Yiran said politely.

After all, in crucial situations, everyone knows how to act according to the people they encounter.

In the original story, Meng Yiran appears to be arrogant and competitive, but that's because she's facing Tang San and his fellow "unknown" commoner soul masters.

However, Ning Feiliu and her group are direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a top-tier power. Their status, background, and talent are no less than Meng Yiran's.

Meng Yiran would naturally be more polite.

However, she couldn't help but look at Ning Feiliu with curiosity and said, "I heard... you broke through to the Soul Master level at thirteen and to the Soul King level at fifteen?"

"Yes, it's really good," Ning Feiliu replied with a smile.

"So what is your current cultivation level...?" Meng Yiran was about to ask.

However, Chao Tianxiang immediately stopped her and scolded, "Yiran, don't be silly!"

However, she and Long Gong Meng Shu still looked at Ning Feiliu. They were also quite curious about Ning Feiliu's current cultivation level.

After all, fifteen years ago was already two years ago.

Although it is impossible to break through from Soul King to Soul Emperor in two years.

But after all, this was the peerless genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who was known for suppressing his generation of peers on the Douluo Continent.

He has already done many incredible things, and the fact that he broke through to Soul King within two years after only recently breaking through to Soul Master is quite unexpected.

So, another two years to achieve a breakthrough... that's understandable... right?

"I've managed to break through to the Soul Emperor realm by sheer luck." Ning Feiliu smiled as she summoned her Soul Rings, and six disguised Soul Rings appeared beneath her feet.

This immediately made Meng Yiran's eyes widen. After all... they were all of the same generation. Ning Feiliu was at most two or three years older than her, but she hadn't even broken through to Soul Venerable yet, while Ning Feiliu was already Soul Emperor?!

However, she was only shocked, not resentful.

After all... what's their background?

Their sect is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the second largest Soul Master sect in Douluo Continent. Now that the Clear Sky Sect isn't involved, it's definitely the number one sect.

With two titled Douluo and the father of the strongest support-type Soul Master on the continent behind him, the sect's resources are endless. All kinds of magical potions and the Xuan Shui Pill that seizes the creation of heaven and earth can be obtained at will.

Moreover, he was apprenticed to another titled Douluo—Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Now, that Poison Douluo has also broken through his soul power level one after another, and has now reached level ninety-four soul power.

In other words, Ning Feiliu has three Title Douluos behind her, and all of them are high-level Title Douluos.

Her grandparents, the Dragon King and the Snake Queen, were only capable of fighting against a Title Douluo, not Title Douluo themselves.

Meng Yiran felt that it was only natural for Ning Feiliu to be better than her because of her background.

Of course, she might be thinking this way to comfort herself.

Ning Feiliu's cultivation level was so high only because of her powerful background. If she had such a background, it wouldn't be impossible for her to achieve the same level.

However, she doesn't really have a comparative mindset.

After all, they are not opponents of the same level.

"He truly is a heroic young man, remarkable indeed! Even this old woman can't compare to him," Chao Tianxiang praised Ning Feiliu with a smile.

"Senior flatters me. I still need to continue my cultivation." Ning Feiliu smiled slightly and said, "I'll leave this Purple-Gold Wolf to you."

"Yes, please come on then. Thank you, Young Master Ning, for killing this soul beast and absorbing the soul ring on the spot. We will protect you." Dragon Lord Meng Shu quickly said.

"Okay, Grandpa." Meng Yiran immediately stepped forward, killed the purple-gold wolf on the spot, and then began to absorb the soul ring.

Meng Shu and his group didn't think anything was amiss, so they started chatting with Ning Feiliu and the others again.

"Young Master Ning... I have a favor to ask, may I have a word with you?" Long Gong Meng Shu said with a smile.

"Please speak, Senior Dragon Lord," Ning Feiliu said casually.

He wasn't afraid of the Dragon King and Snake Queen, after all, no matter how strong these two were, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could at most rival a Title Douluo.

But can it defeat a Title Douluo?

That's probably very difficult.

With the Snow Emperor protecting him, he naturally had no fear of the Dragon God and Snake Goddess.

Once the Snow Empress makes a move, her 600,000 years of cultivation are comparable to the combat power of a peerless Douluo. Even ten Dragon Lords and Snake Ladies would probably not be enough to defeat her in a single move.

"Actually, I've also heard of the Mysterious Water Pill, and I was just thinking of asking for one for my granddaughter," said Long Gong Meng Shu with a chuckle. "Half a year ago, my wife and I had already prepared 20,000 gold soul coins, but unfortunately, the Mysterious Water Pill is priceless and unavailable even within your sect..."

Nowadays, the Xuan Shui Dan is a highly sought-after elixir. Although it is expensive, many powerful forces and sects can still afford it if they grit their teeth.

Regardless of the circumstances, the point remains the same: if the Mysterious Water Pill enhances the talent of the most gifted descendant within one's family, elevating them to an even higher level...

In the future, another Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo, will join the family's power.

The 20,000 gold soul coins spent on purchasing the Xuan Shui Pill back then were... just a hair on a cow.

So everyone frantically raised funds, even at the cost of selling their assets.

It can be said that apart from extremely precious treasures like soul bones, they can sell all other treasures and sect secret manuals.

It was to raise the 20,000 gold soul coins needed to purchase the Mysterious Water Pill.

Therefore, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School subsequently sold the Profound Water Pills, rather than auctioning them.

However, the Xuan Shui Dan often sells out as soon as it's offered for sale.

The quantity of Xuan Shui Dan sold each time is limited, after all, the formula is precious, and such a valuable pill certainly cannot have its formula revealed casually.

Therefore, the two elders of the Martial Glazed Pavilion were the ones who made the Mysterious Water Pill for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, the quantity is quite small, with only about twenty available each time.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also supplies the Profound Water Pill to its disciples. Whether they are direct disciples or those outer disciples with outstanding talents, they all need the Profound Water Pill to improve their talents.

Therefore, the number of Xuan Shui Dan pills sold to the public dropped to less than ten.

These ten were highly sought after in Tiandou City and towns near the northern border of the Tiandou Empire, and were directly snatched up by the more powerful forces that were closer to them.

Therefore, the major powers and strong individuals who are far from the capital can only look on with envy.

Clearly, the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady are among these powerful forces and individuals who can only look on in despair.

Every time I plan to "snap up" the Xuan Shui Dan, I find it's already sold out.

This will only lead to disappointment.

But the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were definitely unwilling, after all, the Mysterious Water Pill could enhance Meng Yiran's talent, and in the future, if Meng Yiran could use it to break through to a higher realm, or even the Title Douluo realm.

That would be a great thing for their family and their power.

Therefore, we certainly cannot give up so easily.

But now they've just happened to run into Ning Feiliu and the other direct disciples and children of the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

However, Ning Feiliu chuckled and said, "I have no right to interfere in the matter of the Profound Water Pill. It is an important matter for the sect. Senior Long Gong, you should prepare the money and just wait for the sect to sell the Profound Water Pill next time."

His encounter with the Dragon God and Snake Goddess was purely by chance, a fleeting acquaintance.

Whether we'll ever meet again is another matter entirely.

Is he really going to help some complete strangers like this?

It's not that it's impossible, the key is that there must be benefits.

For example, if a task requires him to help someone and he can clearly benefit from it, then he will help.

However, it's not like they really help with everything.

To express your gratitude, ask him to spend dozens of gold soul coins, or give you a Xuan Shui Pill.

Only a fool would do that.

Ning Feiliu was quite able to distinguish between the pros and cons and make a choice.

So he doesn't want to help with the Dragon God and Snake Goddess's matter...

Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang's expressions stiffened slightly, clearly indicating that they had also realized that Ning Feiliu was not so easily fooled.

However, Ning Feiliu's meaning wasn't a complete rejection, but rather...

At least some benefits are needed.

That's not entirely impossible.

Since you're asking someone for a favor, you're bound to give them something in return.

Human relationships and social niceties are common in any world.

Moreover, in order to help Meng Yiran obtain the Xuan Shui Dan, it's not unreasonable to pay a price.

Their expressions softened slightly, and Long Gong Meng Shu chuckled again, saying, "Young Master Ning, speaking of which, I recently discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization... Would you be interested?"

"Oh?" Ning Feiliu's expression changed slightly.

As mentioned before, the civilization of Douluo Continent was interrupted at one point.

In the ancient times of Douluo Continent, a very brilliant civilization once existed.

They can even make soul tools, while the modern Douluo Continent civilization is utterly useless.

Soul tools have lost their manufacturing process and there are no special elixirs for them.

They've been stuck in the same place for tens of thousands of years, and they can't even figure out how to study a soul beast.

So, Ning Feiliu, slightly intrigued, asked, "What kind of ancient ruins are they?"
