Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Their movements were perfectly synchronized and their momentum was overwhelming, clearly indicating that they had undergone long-term and rigorous training.

Wang Teng and Bone Douluo walked around the edge of the square without disturbing the disciples' morning practice.

After crossing the square and continuing along a bluestone path, you will arrive at the sect's main hall.

The main hall is magnificent and splendid, with flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, and every detail exudes exquisiteness and sophistication.

The palace doors were wide open, and Ning Fengzhi was already sitting inside, having been waiting for some time.

Sitting beside him were Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"You're here?"

Ning Fengzhi greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Ning."

Wang Teng stepped forward and bowed.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Ning Fengzhi patted Wang Teng on the shoulder and turned to walk into the hall.

The group entered the main hall and took their seats according to their status as guests and hosts.

The interior of the hall is simply yet grand, with a huge landscape painting in the center, depicting towering mountains and swirling clouds, echoing the real scenery outside the window.

Ning Fengzhi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Wang Teng, from now on you, Rongrong, and Zhuqing can focus on your cultivation in the sect."

"I have already arranged accommodations and training grounds for you. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, you and Rongrong will get engaged one month from now."

"I'm already making preparations for this, and I'll invite various forces to attend the ceremony."

When Ning Fengzhi said this, he looked calmly at Wang Teng, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"As for Zhu Qing..."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, his tone softening slightly, and said, "Because of the factors on the Xingluo Empire's side, you can marry her, but you can't make it public."

"At least at this stage, we cannot allow the Star Luo Empire to find any fault with us."

"It's not too late to hold a formal wedding when you're strong enough in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and remained silent.

Ning Rongrong gently squeezed her hand, offering silent comfort.

Wang Teng was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I will follow Uncle Ning's arrangements."

Ning Fengzhi smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he took out a wooden box from his storage soul tool, opened it, and inside were seven or eight pieces of milky white whale glue, which emitted a faint, sweet and fishy smell.

"This is whale glue, which is very beneficial for improving physical fitness."

Ning Fengzhi pushed the wooden box in front of the three of them and said, "You three can divide it up."

Wang Teng glanced at it, shook his head, and said, "Uncle Ning, this thing is no longer of any use to me."

"Let's give it to Rongrong and Zhuqing."

Wang Teng was telling the truth.

Given his current physical strength, the improvement that the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue can provide is negligible. Rather than using it himself, he might as well leave it for the two girls.

Ning Fengzhi didn't insist and handed the wooden box to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong took the wooden box, opened it, and a rich aroma wafted out.

"Whale glue?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

This was the first time she had ever seen something like this.

Ning Rongrong explained with a smile, "Whale glue is a secretion from the body of the sea spirit beast whale. After special processing, it can be consumed by spirit masters."

"It can greatly improve the physical fitness of Soul Masters, making their bodies stronger and more resilient."

"More importantly, after consuming whale gel, a Soul Master can absorb Soul Rings beyond their level. For example, absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring at level 20 is normally very dangerous, but if one has a body strengthened by whale gel, the success rate will be much higher."

Wang Teng had already told the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School about the whale glue, so after Ning Fengzhi verified its effects, he sent some to Ning Rongrong.

That's how Ning Rongrong found out about the whale glue.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened immediately, her face filled with shock.

She had never heard of whale glue, a product used for both men and women, being a genuine cultivation resource.

Zhu Zhuqing took a piece of whale glue, examined it carefully, and was secretly amazed.

Ning Fengzhi turned to Wang Teng and asked, "Is there anything else you need? Please let me know."

Wang Teng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Ning, I would like to read some books in the sect to enrich my knowledge."

"In addition, I need to collect some soul-guiding arrays with different effects, and I want to study them."

"Reading books is no problem; the sect's library is completely open to you."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then frowned and said, "However, the soul guidance array..."

"Why are you researching that?"

"Soul tools are not very useful."

Wang Teng was puzzled and asked, "When I was in Wuhun City, I saw some defensive soul tools around the arena. Aren't they quite useful?"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and explained, "That's because you don't understand the situation."

“A long time ago, the major powers on the continent unearthed the method of making soul tools from some ancient ruins and did study it for a while.”

"But later everyone discovered that the special metals needed to make soul tools were almost impossible to find on the continent, or at least not in sufficient quantities."

"Without materials, no matter how thorough the research is, it's useless."

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then continued, "So later, research in this area gradually decreased."

"Currently, only the top-tier forces on the mainland are still researching soul tools."

"And even if we manage to develop it, it will only be some everyday items, such as storage soul tools, soul lamps, and large protective equipment for various battle arenas."

"The soul tools that have been developed so far have greatly improved the standard of living, but they do not provide any real help to the improvement of soul masters themselves or the increase of combat power."

After listening, Wang Teng understood the situation.

He explained, "Uncle Ning, I mainly study the magic array itself, not the soul tool."

"I previously researched a mental array, and the results were quite good."

"I want to learn more about different kinds of magic arrays and see if I can find some inspiration to create some mental cultivation techniques."

"A spiritual soul-guiding array... to create a cultivation technique?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward slightly.

"Correct."

Wang Teng nodded and continued, "I want to give it a try."

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"it is good."

"This is a good direction."

"I will send someone to help you collect the relevant information. Just let me know if you need anything."

Chapter 385 Planning the Knowledge of Immortal Herbs

"Thank you, Uncle Ning."

Wang Teng stood up and bowed.

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, then summoned a disciple and instructed, "Take Wang Teng and Miss to the library."

“From today onwards, all areas of the library will be open to the three of them.”

"Yes, Sect Master."

The disciple respectfully responded and turned to Wang Teng and the other two, gesturing for them to enter.

The three followed the disciple out of the main hall, across a bluestone path, and arrived in front of a tall, tower-like building.

The tower is made entirely of bluestone and is about five stories high. The tower is simple and solemn, and copper bells hang from the eaves. When the wind blows, they make a crisp sound.

A plaque hangs above the tower gate.

Qibao Library.

"This is the sect's library."

Ning Rongrong walked ahead and turned to Wang Teng, saying, "There are five floors in total. The bottom three floors are open to the public. Anyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can go in and see them. They mainly contain basic information such as soul beast illustrations and herbal medicine diagrams."

Ning Rongrong pushed open the door and went straight inside.

The interior space is much larger than it appears from the outside, with rows of tall bookshelves neatly arranged and filled with all kinds of books.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the bookshelves, and the air was filled with the scent of paper and ink.

"Go up, and there's an internal library."

Ning Rongrong led them through rows of bookshelves to a closed wooden door.

She took a token from her waist and stuck it on the door.

The wooden door opened silently.

Behind the door is a long corridor with individual reading rooms on both sides, each one elegantly and quietly furnished.

At the end of the corridor is a spiral staircase leading upstairs.

"The most core information of the sect is stored on the top floor."
