Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 12 Heading to the Soul Hunter Forest

Lan Xue and Dian Wei went out and returned in less than four days.

For a peak Soul Douluo like her, taking a child to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for the first Soul Ring was far too easy.

The spirit beasts that Dian Wei's martial spirit needs to hunt are easy to find; any strength-type spirit beast will do.

Dian Wei's first Soul Skill is called Ghost Halberd, which is one of the general skills in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2. This move can create a phantom of a halberd that attacks the opponent in a straight line. Even if it hits the opponent, it will not disappear, but will continue to attack backward until the soul power dissipates.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Dian Wei's level was also reflected. More than a month of training, coupled with the spirit ring exceeding the age limit, allowed his spirit power to directly reach level fourteen, which was one level higher than Tang San at the same time in the original work.

Upon seeing his wife return, Nan Tianchen excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Isn't it awesome?"

Lan Xue nodded. "6!"

In a concise question-and-answer session, Nan Tianchen asked whether Dian Wei had absorbed a six-hundred-year-old soul ring, and Lan Xue gave him an affirmative answer.

Dian Wei absorbed the six-hundred-year soul ring with great ease, without showing the slightest sign of pain throughout the process, thus confirming that the rumors about the use of whale glue mentioned by their son were true.

Nan Tianchen was overjoyed.

Soon, he issued two decrees: first, to recruit more women for the palace; second, to go to the border city of Hanhai to purchase whale glue from the Sea Soul Masters.

Sea Soul Masters usually hunt sea soul beasts, including whales. If you were to ask who has the most whale glue, it would definitely be them.

As for recruiting many women into the palace, that was merely a smokescreen.

As we all know, whale glue is an aphrodisiac and virility enhancer. King Gulei needs these things to develop a harem of three thousand beauties.

This explains why the Kingdom of Gulei is purchasing large quantities of whale glue, and it doesn't seem strange to anyone.

At most, it was the uninformed masses who talked about King Gulei's romantic affairs with great relish, while the knowledgeable people sighed and called him a tyrant.

Of course, Nan Tianchen would not actually take these women into his harem; he didn't have the guts, and he couldn't afford to offend the woman at home.

The first two concubines were taken by him before he married Lan Xue, so Lan Xue didn't make a big deal out of it and didn't insist that Nan Tianchen drive them away. She wasn't that heartless.

But after her, she forbade Nan Tianchen from taking any more women into the family, which was the only condition she agreed to marry Nan Tianchen in the first place.

The two discussed the development plans for their children.

It was decided that, apart from Nan Feihuang, the others would have a first soul ring of 600 years and a second soul ring of 900 years.

It's not that they can't start from the second ring of the millennium, but this opportunity should naturally be reserved for their own son.

If a genius like a second-ringed cultivator after a thousand years or a fourth-ringed cultivator after ten thousand years appeared in the Kingdom of Gulei, then it could be said that this person was exceptionally gifted and a peerless genius.

But if everyone did this, anyone with a brain could guess that the Kingdom of Gulei probably had a way to absorb soul rings beyond the required age.

Given the current strength of the Kingdom of Gulei, it is absolutely impossible to keep such a secret; it would only bring about its own demise.

Therefore, while Dian Wei and others can exceed the required age of their spirit rings, it is best to have two yellow and two purple spirit rings for the first few rings to avoid attracting attention.

Anyway, a nine-hundred-year soul ring and a one-hundred-year soul ring are both yellow, only the color depth is slightly different. If you don't look closely, you can't see much difference.

The kingdom has limited reserves of whale glue, with only three pieces remaining.

It just so happens that Nan Feihuang, Lü Lingqi, and Xun Yu each have one.

On the contrary, Princess Nan Feiling did not receive it; she didn't even know about whale glue.

It has to be said that Nan Tianchen is somewhat sexist. The only people he really wanted to cultivate into talents were his son Nan Feihuang, Dian Wei, Lü Lingqi, and others. Besides their outstanding talents, they mainly benefited from Nan Feihuang's plan to cultivate them into his confidants.

As for Nan Feiling, he believed that she would eventually get married.

The saying goes, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup." Girls are outgoing, and if she were to reveal the secret of whale glue to her husband's family, it would be a loss for the royal family of Gulei, and could even bring a crisis to the kingdom.

Therefore, the only people who know this secret so far are Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue, and Nan Feihuang and his three trusted generals.

After successfully refining the medicinal power of the whale glue, Lan Xue once again led the remaining three out to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for soul rings.

In fact, this kind of thing would never normally require the Queen to personally handle it, but when it comes to her beloved son, she always prefers to do it herself.

Even if Nan Feihuang had taken whale glue, she wouldn't let her son get a thousand-year spirit ring as his first, just to be on the safe side. If it was a hundred-year spirit ring, there would be no need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest or the Sunset Forest.

The small Soul Hunting Forest near Gulei City is more than enough.

Dian Wei obtained his first spirit ring there.

At the entrance to the Soul Hunter Forest, many Soul Masters were calling out, most of them seeking to form teams.

After all, in the cultivation system of Douluo Continent, there is no perfect Soul Master. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

Therefore, Douluo Continent places great emphasis on teamwork to complement each other's weaknesses.

Lan Xuesheng was exceptionally beautiful. Although she was over forty, she had the appearance of someone in their twenties and the maturity of someone in their thirties. As a queen, she possessed an even more dignified and noble air.

It attracted the attention of countless people as soon as it appeared.

"Beautiful lady, are you here with your juniors to hunt soul beasts? Would you like to join us? My family elder is a Soul King level expert. With him protecting you, you will be safe and sound." A nobleman with a slick appearance stepped forward and stopped the group.

His tone was very polite, but the lewd look in his eyes toward Lan Xue was impossible to hide.

Lan Xue despised this kind of person the most. Back then, there were quite a few who tried to force themselves on her when she refused. If it weren't for her considerable strength and the protection of the Dean of Tianshui Academy, she probably wouldn't have been able to grow up smoothly.

This young man shared the same thoughts as those others.

"Get out of the way!" Lan Xue's soul power surged, directly knocking the noble youth sprawling out.

The soul power she was unleashing at that moment was roughly equivalent to that of a Soul Emperor, while that young man was at most a Great Soul Master; how could he possibly withstand it?

If it weren't for the Soul King's guards protecting him so desperately, he probably would have been injured.

The noble youth was paralyzed with fear on the spot. With this precedent, the others who were attracted by Lan Xue's beauty and were eager to make a move also subconsciously restrained themselves.

This woman may be beautiful, but you need to be alive to enjoy it.

Nan Feihuang smiled slightly. He hadn't expected that his mother, who was usually so gentle to him, would be so cold and aloof to outsiders. No wonder she had earned the nickname "Ice and Snow Goddess" back then.

Upon arriving at the gate, Lan Xue took out a token from the Spirit Hall. As a member of the royal family of the Ancient Lei Kingdom, obtaining a token from the Spirit Hall was not difficult, since it wasn't something like a papal decree.

The gatekeeper checked the token and, finding it correct, immediately opened the gate to let him through.
