Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 77 The Advancement of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School (Part 1)

Dugu Yan shook her head, her eyes filled with affection, and said, "No, Xiao Xuan. How could anyone bear to consume such a precious herb? Didn't you say that once it recognizes its master, it will never wither? I want it to stay with me forever, to love and cherish it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan felt as if he had experienced something similar. Then he remembered that Xiao Wu had said the same thing to Tang San in the original story.

But Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu have absolutely no chance to get to know each other right now, okay? Could it be that this celestial herb has a special charm for the person who picks it?

However, when Gu Xuan thought of this part of the original story, he couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Wu, this rabbit with a love-struck mind.

It is clearly a soul beast in human form, and its most urgent task should be to cultivate to level 60 and enter the mature stage, but it is unable to extricate itself from being immersed in love.

It's no wonder he was later hunted down and sacrificed. Of course, this could also be a plot hole created by the author, who forcibly lowered the protagonist's intelligence in order to give him a 100,000-year soul ring.

However, none of that mattered. Gu Xuan would naturally not allow Dugu Yan to keep the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. Such a treasure only becomes one's own once it is ingested.

As for Xiao Wu, the rabbit, since she's going to be a spirit ring anyway, it doesn't matter who gets it.

Gu Xuan looked at Dugu Yan and explained, "Yanzi, this Acacia Heartbreak Red is indeed pitiful, but what I want to tell you is that in this world, only strength is the source of protection for everything. Without strength, we may end up protecting nothing."

"So my advice is that you take this Acacia confusa to maximize its effects."

"As I said before, after consuming this Acacia Heartbreak Red, your fourth soul ring will very likely be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring. The improvement from a ten-thousand-year soul ring is far greater than you imagine."

Gu Xuan's tone was very sincere and earnest, and Dugu Yan's heart began to waver as she listened to his words.

Seeing that Dugu Yan was wavering, Gu Xuan continued, "And as you know, I am only twelve years and four months old, while you are almost eighteen, five years older than me."

"But my soul power has already broken through to level 37, and I'm only three levels away from yours. If I don't use this Acacia Heartbreak Red, you'll fall further and further behind me in the future. I don't want you to just be the woman behind me. I hope you can stand with me and face the future together."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's pupils trembled slightly: "To face the future together?"

Gu Xuan grasped Dugu Yan's right hand and said, "Do you want to watch me go further and further away, while you are never able to catch up?"

Dugu Yan shook her head: "No, I want to grow and improve together with you."

After saying this, Dugu Yan's eyes hardened, and she said to Gu Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, I understand. I won't be willful."

Gu Xuan released Dugu Yan's right hand and said softly, "Go, consume this Acacia Heartbreak Red, and then I will accompany you to find a suitable fourth soul ring."

Dugu Yan nodded firmly and headed towards the stone house on the cliff.

Dugu Yan herself was naturally unable to climb up. Gu Xuan's purple third soul ring lit up, and a row of spines appeared in the air, extending towards the cliff face.

This wasn't the first time Dugu Yan had used this method to get to the stone house. Sometimes when Dugu Bo was in seclusion, Dugu Yan would return to the stone house in this way.

Gu Xuan then took out a letter, which was an agreement he made with Ning Fengzhi three months ago when he left the sect. They agreed to exchange messages every month, and this letter was delivered today.

It would be very difficult for outsiders to find the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to get in. However, with the map and antidote pills given by Gu Xuan, sending a message would be no problem at all.

Opening the letter, one finds nearly ten pages of writing, all detailing the major events that have occurred at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the past month.

Over the past three months, Gu Rong first broke through to level 97 by consuming Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, and then Ning Rongrong broke through to level 30 by consuming Qi Luo Tulip. After obtaining the soul ring, their soul power directly reached level 35.

Actually, this is not an exaggeration at all, because in the original work, Ning Rongrong broke through to level 37 directly after consuming the Qiluo Tulip at level 31. Now she has only gone from level 27 to level 35, and there is also the level of soul power she gained after absorbing the soul ring.

It's worth mentioning that Ning Rongrong's third spirit ring was actually 2,300 years old, which is also a spirit ring absorption that transcends her level.

Then came the Second Master Gu Xuan. Sword Douluo Chen Xin emerged from seclusion a month later, and his soul power had officially broken through to level ninety-seven.

But when he learned that Gu Rong, that old bone, had also broken through to level 97, he felt that the world was somewhat unreal.

Damn it, I only went into seclusion for two months, and you caught up with me without a word?

Ning Fengzhi then explained the effects of the immortal herbs to Chen Xin. When he learned about them, he found it hard to believe, but with Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong as living examples right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

Then, as if by magic, Ning Fengzhi gave Chen Xin a brocade box, inside which was the black jade sword bamboo.

Chen Xin, who originally disdained consuming such external substances, was understandably excited to accept the Ink Jade Sword Bamboo after witnessing the changes in Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong.

However, he did not take it immediately. Having just broken through to level 97, he needed some time to adjust.

The best way to adapt was naturally to fight Gu Rong. However, this time, both of them were level 97, and Chen Xin was no longer as relaxed as before. He fought Gu Rong to a standstill.

However, in the process of sparring with each other, the two quickly became familiar with each other's breakthrough abilities.

A month passed, and then another piece of good news arrived: Yang Wudi had successfully refined the pills based on the recipes for the immortal herbs and spiritual herbs that Gu Xuan had given him.

Two types of pills are the main ones. One type is the Soul Ascension Pill, which is made by combining the Primordial Immortal Herb as the main ingredient with dozens of ancient medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs.

The only function of the Soul Ascension Pill is to increase soul power. Moreover, the highest grade of this Soul Ascension Pill, which is made with Primordial Immortal Grass as the main ingredient, can provide a significant boost even to Title Douluo.

However, there is only one Primordial Immortal Herb, so there are only twelve Soul Ascension Pills of this level, which means that they can be supplied to a maximum of twelve Soul Douluos, or even Title Douluos.

This level of elixir also has great limitations: the effect is best only on the first use, and the effect decreases sharply after each use. Basically, a person can only take one pill in their lifetime.

Of course, there are also Soul Ascension Pills that can be given to Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, and in considerable quantities, because Gu Xuan gave Yang Wudi a lot of medicinal herbs. However, Soul Ascension Pills at this level are useless to Soul Douluos and Title Douluos.

However, it is enough to enhance the strength of the middle level of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, Ning Fengzhi did not publicize it for the time being. Even when Chen Xin and Gu Rong broke through Ning Fengzhi's limits, there was no celebration, because he knew how to keep his talents hidden.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has spies in other major powers, and other powers naturally have spies in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as well. Although the inner sect has strict control, the outer sect does.

So, to ensure everything went smoothly, Ning Fengzhi kept these matters a secret, secretly developing his abilities, and then giving everyone a surprise.

Of course, Gu Xuan's suggestion was also involved. Otherwise, if the two Title Douluos, Sword and Bone, broke through, wouldn't they have held a grand banquet to let the world know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength had increased once again?

However, Gu Xuan knew that the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation would begin in a few years. Exposing himself now would only allow the opponent to prepare more thoroughly, so he chose to develop in a stealthy manner.

It will be a big surprise for everyone.

What the hell is a surprise? When the two titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, are at level 97 and 98 respectively, plus Ning Fengzhi's assistance, that's what a surprise is!

That's right, it's level 98. Although Chen Xin hasn't taken the Black Jade Sword Bamboo yet, Gu Xuan can predict that Chen Xin will definitely be able to break through to level 98 in the future.

The improvement a suitable celestial herb can bring to a Soul Master is unimaginable.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
