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

Chapter 270 Soul Tool Craftsmanship

Next, Ning Feiliu, just as he had told Ning Fengzhi before, began to study the new type of soul tool.

First, he designed and used the divine artifact craftsmanship granted by the "Blessing of the Demigods" to forge four new types of soul tools.

The first type is the Moonstone Regenerator, a soul tool that can provide effects such as soul power barrier, soul power amplification, and healing.

The principle behind it is that moonstone, a special material, stores the healing power of moonlight, and then it is forged by combining it with the core of a soul beast like the Vajra Tiger, which amplifies its own soul skills.

The second type of soul tool is the special soul tool that carries this soul skill, like the invincible golden body of Xiao Wu, as mentioned before.

The "Explorer's Armguard" is made by combining rare metals that enhance defense, using the core components of the Soft-Boned Rabbit.

The third type of soul tool is also based on the Soft Bone Rabbit's teleportation soul skill, and is made by combining rare metals from the space soul tool to create the "Regenerated Rabbit Shoes".

The fourth type of soul tool is the "Phoenix Serpent Wings," a flying soul tool crafted from lightweight metal, with the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's flying soul skill as its core.

It can be said that they took self-preservation to the extreme, but that's not entirely true, since there were already the Iron Sun Lock and the Sun Lock before this.

They can all be countered and attacked.

However, for the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they do not need to take the initiative to attack; they only need to protect themselves.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu went to great lengths to prepare for the Spirit Hall's upcoming soul-hunting operation, designing and manufacturing numerous soul tools with maximum self-protection capabilities specifically for the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This also triggered a large number of quests—

[Crafted five soul tools, gaining three years of Talis Jess experience.]

[Craft ten soul tools and gain five years of Talis Jess's experience.]

……

[Carve out one thousand spatial magic array imprints to obtain the crafting technique for Hextech Gates.]

……

[Inscribing five thousand spatial magic array imprints grants access to the crafting techniques for Hextech Crystals.]

……

[Analyzing biology a thousand times yields the equivalent of Viktor's fifty years of research experience.]

……

So Ning Feiliu got busy, but he didn't do it himself. Instead, he had the elders and disciples of Wuliu Pavilion help him complete the task.

Now he realized that these kinds of tasks all have bugs, except for those that require him to thank him, help him personally, and do the work himself.

Otherwise, such vague tasks could be completed by having someone else do them.

So he began to use the pretext of teaching the Wuliuge the craft of making soul tools to get them to help him complete his mission.

The disciples and elders of Wu Liuge, and even Ning Fengzhi and his group, were naturally very happy.

After all... this is a long-lost technique for making soul tools!

This is another monopolistic business, and it wouldn't be a problem for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's income to double again!

Therefore, they were all quite willing to learn from Ning Feiliu.

Not only were the disciples and elders of Wu Liuge willing, but other disciples and elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also very much wanted to learn from Ning Feiliu.

Unfortunately, they were not disciples or elders of the Wuliu Pavilion.

The disciples and elders of the Martial Glaze Pavilion are overjoyed. Initially, when Ning Fengzhi asked them to join the Martial Glaze Pavilion, they were...

Well, they were actually quite happy at the time.

After all, Ning Feiliu's talent gave them the feeling of being the future unique successor of the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they were all happy to be able to get closer to the future Supreme Elder.

Now they've discovered that becoming subordinates of Wu Liuge is far more profitable than they imagined.

After all, having more skills means more income, but for them it's not just a little more income, it's a lot more!

Not only are they not short of gold soul coins, but they also have enough cultivation resources for their families and descendants.

They can also pass these skills on to their descendants in the future, making a fortune from generation to generation.

Ning Feiliu was naturally unaware of the thoughts of these Wuliu Pavilion disciples and elders. He was simply pleased that they had worked so hard and helped him complete the task so quickly.

At the same time, he also ordered the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School to capture large numbers of Vajra Tigers, Soft Bone Rabbits, and Phoenix-tailed Crested Snakes to use as subjects for his research and experiments.

For a whole month, he was immersed in researching and teaching the elders and disciples of Wu Liuge how to make soul tools (to complete his mission).

With the help of the elders and disciples of Wu Liuge, he also created a number of soul tools during the teaching process.

Soon, one task after another was completed, transforming into pure knowledge or experience, which entered his mind.

So, Ning Feiliu first created the Hextech Crystal, which in "Battle of Two Cities" is essentially a magic crystal, but Jess controlled it using scientific methods and made it into a stable energy crystal that anyone can use.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to build the "Hextech Flying Gate" that could quickly traverse space.

Having a space teleportation device would be incredibly convenient.

However, he temporarily abandoned the idea, deciding to focus on manufacturing soul tools for now, as Hextech flying gates were still too early.

Moreover, Hextech portals are a powerful weapon; unless you belong to your own faction, they won't let you install them casually.

For example, if a flying gate were built from Xingluo City to the outskirts of Tiandou City, the Xingluo Empire's army could directly attack Emperor Xueye, and that would be the end of them.

Therefore, it's best to keep this from others for now.

Then another month passed, and Ning Feiliu finally succeeded by combining the experience and wisdom of Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, and Ornn, as well as the knowledge of the Lunar Cult's moon magic and Mordekaiser's forbidden necromancy, and by conducting numerous experiments.

The special power known as the "Soul Skill Core" was separated from the soul beast in a way that simulated the absorption of "Soul Rings" by a human soul master.

The "Amplification Core" of the Vajra Tiger, the "Invincible Golden Body Core" and "Teleportation Core" of the Soft Bone Rabbit, and the "Illusory Wings Core" of the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent.

These core soul skills can be activated by stimulating the soul power stored in the Hextech Crystal, just like a soul master using a soul ring.

Now that the core of the soul skill has been successfully extracted, the subsequent production of the soul tool will be much simpler.

Just as Ning Feiliu continued to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge and research, intending to begin making these soul tools.

But then an unexpected guest arrived.

"Sister Yan, what brings you here..." When Ning Feiliu saw who it was, her initial impatience at being disturbed vanished instantly.

He quickly smiled apologetically, but inwardly he was annoyed that he had been too engrossed in scientific research and had neglected the feelings of his girlfriend, Dugu Yan.

After all, he had been away from Dugu Yan for almost two years, and now that he's back, they haven't seen each other for the past two months.

It's no wonder Dugu Yan was angry and couldn't stand it.

On the contrary, she has not made trouble for Ning Feiliu in the past two months, which is already considered reasonable.

Ning Feiliu felt somewhat guilty.

We're clearly in the same city, and the places are very close. What's with you not coming to see your girlfriend for two months?

Just as Ning Feiliu was preparing to face Dugu Yan's wrath...

However, Dugu Yan snorted a few times and said, "Have you forgotten something?"

"I was wrong, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu was about to honestly admit her mistake.

But Dugu Yan looked at him again and said, "Have you forgotten what we talked about before?"

"What did we talk about before?" Ning Feili tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

"Lingling!" Dugu Yan reminded her through gritted teeth.

"Ah? Lingling..." Ning Feiliu finally remembered.

After he confessed about Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan suggested that he also take Ye Lingling, who had always liked him, as a wife.

He felt this was inappropriate, but Dugu Yan insisted that he try confessing his feelings.

However, Ning Feiliu was so engrossed in the soul tool experiment that she temporarily forgot about this matter.

Now that Dugu Yan had mentioned it, he finally remembered.

However, Ning Feiliu hesitated again and said, "But... this isn't a good idea, so let's just forget about it."

"Why give up?" Dugu Yan pouted and snorted. "Isn't Lingling good enough? Don't you like her? You can like other women, so why can't you like Lingling?"

"Lingling is very beautiful..." Ning Feiliu said, recalling Ye Lingling's stunningly beautiful face.

"Then that's settled! Go confess your feelings! That bastard Yu Tianheng also has feelings for Lingling," Dugu Yan said anxiously. "But Lingling clearly likes you and doesn't want to accept Yu Tianheng!"

"Well... alright then," Ning Feiliu said helplessly after being urged repeatedly.

Then he and Dugu Yan left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, their destination being... the medical clinic that Ning Feiliu had once run.

……

The clinic remains unchanged, but the area around it has undergone tremendous changes.

The buildings had changed so much that Ning Feiliu no longer recognized them.

Only that familiar clinic confirmed to him that he and Dugu Yan had indeed gone to the right place.

People came and went on the street in front of the clinic, some worried and some grateful, but they all looked at the clinic with great respect.

Before even entering the clinic, the sounds of conversations inside could be heard.

"Take this medicine home and use it both internally and externally... The wound must not get wet for three days."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Ye! Thank you so much, Dr. Ye!"

"This is a feverish headache. I need these herbs. Go and pick them. Also, I need one copper soul coin."

"Okay, thank you very much, Dr. Ye!"

"You have food poisoning from eating unclean food. Vomit it all out, and then take these medications."

……

Ye Lingling's familiar voice, and the patients' responses one after another, filled Ning Feiliu with emotion.

"You've been letting Lingling run this clinic, and she's been keeping it open all this time," Dugu Yan snorted a few times. "So you big jerk, don't you even know how Lingling feels about you?"

Ning Feiliu was somewhat helpless. His initial intention was simply to have Ye Lingling use his clinic for practice, learning his medical knowledge through mutual teaching and learning.

In fact, he thought that once Ye Lingling had fully grasped the medical knowledge he had left behind, he would close the clinic.

It should be able to close down in about two or three years.

I never expected Ye Lingling to keep driving like this until now...

Ning Feiliu's clinic became her obsession, her longing for Ning Feiliu.

Indeed, that was the case. Many nights, Ye Lingling would not even go home, but would sleep on Ning Feiliu's bed in the backyard.

Feeling the warmth and scent of Ning Feiliu's former rest here, Ye Lingling was quite intoxicated.

Ning Feiliu was helpless; saying it was ambiguous... but this outcome was indeed caused by him.

"Is it...Firu?"

Just then, Ye Lingling saw Ning Feiliu standing in front of the clinic. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked.

"Hurry...go inside," Dugu Yan whispered to Ning Feiliu.

Then she simply hid outside the clinic, letting the clinic conceal her figure.

She was very careful and didn't let Ye Lingling see her.

Ning Feiliu was even more helpless. This was the first time he had ever seen someone push their boyfriend onto another woman.

This is probably one of the advantages of the feudal era.

Ning Feiliu's previous worries as a modern person were completely unnecessary.

"Fei Liu?" Ye Lingling finally saw Ning Fei Liu's figure and asked again in confusion.

"Hmm...it's me." Ning Feiliu stepped in.

Then many patients started talking about him.

Four years is a long time; many patients no longer recognize him, and many of them are even new patients.

As for some of the long-time patients, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Ning Feiliu because her black hair had turned white.

But some people still recognized them.

"Isn't this Dr. Ning?!" an old man suddenly shouted excitedly. "Dr. Ning looks like a completely different person! I almost couldn't hold back my excitement. Dr. Ning has grown taller, and his hair is even whiter than mine!"

"Ah... something unexpected happened," Ning Feiliu said with a smile to the old man.

He was quite respectful of the elderly and kind to the young, and he was still somewhat moved that someone could still recognize him after so long.

"Is it really Dr. Ning?" The others immediately started discussing among themselves, asking with surprise and uncertainty.

"It's definitely Dr. Ning! Look at her face, it's the same as before! That nose is still so upturned!"

"It really is Dr. Ning! That's wonderful! But Dr. Ning has become even more handsome! And taller too!"

"Dr. Ning, where have you been all this time? It feels like I haven't seen you for two or three years!"

……

The patients who recognized Ning Feiliu greeted her excitedly.

Ning Feiliu responded to each of them.

However, there are also many new patients, or rather, patients who only recognize Ye Lingling.

"Dr. Xiao Ning? Who is he?"

"Could he be Dr. Ye's boyfriend? This..."

"No way...Dr. Ye has never had a boyfriend, has she?"

"No... my heart is breaking."

……

"Let me get your medicine for you," Ning Feiliu said with a smile after greeting Ye Lingling.

"Okay," Ye Lingling said softly, bowing her head shyly.
