Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"What do you understand?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo asked in unison.

Ning Fengzhi stood up and paced back and forth in the room a few steps, his tone filled with excitement.

“We’ve discussed this before. Wang Teng must have his own secrets to be able to cultivate so quickly and evolve his martial spirit to this extent.”

"Now he suddenly mentioned herbs, the evolution of martial spirits, and those who have done in-depth research on herbs..."

Don't you think there's a connection between these two things?

Sword Douluo's eyes lit up as he guessed, "You mean... Wang Teng's secret is related to herbs?"

"Probably."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and continued, "Perhaps Wang Teng achieved his current success through some special herb."

Bone Douluo stroked his beard, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "So that's why he sent us to find the Broken Clan and Chrysanthemum Douluo, not because he wanted to study herbs, but to tell us that he might have something even more powerful than them?"

"Correct!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded heavily and said, "This kid has gone through all this trouble, but he just won't say it directly."

"However, the fact that he brought it up means that he is beginning to trust us."

Sword Douluo slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "That makes sense! This kid has finally relented!"

Bone Douluo was equally excited and asked, "Feng Zhi, what do we do now?"

Ning Fengzhi stopped in his tracks, his gaze resolute, and said, "I'll go talk to him."

After saying that, Ning Fengzhi pushed open the door and strode towards the library.

Ning Fengzhi personally came to the library.

At this moment, the fifth floor of the library was empty and quiet, with sunlight streaming through the windows onto the wooden floor and a faint scent of books filling the air.

Ning Rongrong had been sent away, leaving only Wang Teng and Ning Fengzhi in the large space.

Ning Fengzhi stood by the window, his back to Wang Teng. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "What exactly did you mean by having Rongrong say those things to me?"

His tone wasn't harsh, but it carried an unavoidable directness.

Wang Teng leaned against the bookshelf, arms crossed, his expression calm.

He didn't rush to answer, but looked at Ning Fengzhi's back and asked calmly, "Uncle Ning, what do you think it means?"

Ning Fengzhi turned around and stared intently at Wang Teng.

After a few moments of eye contact, Ning Fengzhi slowly said, "You kid, you have a level 5 innate soul power and your martial soul is just an ordinary mid-level spinning top, but your cultivation speed is ridiculously fast, and your martial soul has evolved to its current level."

"I suspect you must have your own destiny."

"And now you're suddenly talking about spirit evolution and herbs, could it be..."

"Could it be that you evolved your martial spirit and cultivated so quickly by taking some special herbs?"

Chapter 386 Ning Fengzhi's Decisiveness and Ruthlessness

Wang Teng did not deny it, but instead smiled slightly and said, "That's right, Uncle Ning is indeed very capable."

"You guessed absolutely right."

Wang Teng admitted it directly.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and his breathing became a little more rapid.

Although he had suspected it beforehand, the shock of hearing Wang Teng admit it was still indescribable.

Special herbs.

Special herbs that can evolve martial spirits.

Ning Fengzhi understood what this meant better than anyone else.

"So, now you..."

Ning Fengzhi's voice sounded somewhat strained.

“The place I know of does indeed have some special herbs.”

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Wang Teng interrupted, saying, "I imagine these things can help Rongrong evolve her martial soul."

"But I don't know how to pick them."

“The harvesting methods for each kind of herb are different. Some require specific tools, some require specific times of day, and some even require specific soul power attributes.”

"If you act rashly, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced at best, and the entire plant will be ruined at worst."

"That's why I wanted Uncle Ning to find a way to obtain relevant knowledge from the Broken Clan or Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"As expected, as expected."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi paced back and forth in the room, rubbing his hands together unconsciously and muttering to himself.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, I knew I hadn't misjudged you..."

After a while, Ning Fengzhi stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down, but the light in his eyes could not be hidden.

After Wang Teng waited for him to calm down a bit, he continued, "Uncle Ning, the most important thing now is to find a way to obtain all kinds of knowledge about these herbs."

"Without proper harvesting techniques, even if those miraculous herbs were right in front of us, we could only stare at them helplessly."

"A magical herb?"

Ning Fengzhi keenly caught the key words in Wang Teng's words and asked curiously, "Is this the name of the special herb you mentioned?"

"It's a standard term, I suppose."

Wang Teng nodded and explained, "They each have their own names, but they are all collectively called Immortal Herbs."

"For example, one of the magical herbs is called Qirong Tongtianju."

"Qirong Tongtianju?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Isn't that the name of Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul?"

"correct."

Wang Teng smiled and said, "That's why I guessed that Chrysanthemum Douluo should know about immortal herbs."

“His martial spirit is named after a magical herb, I don’t believe he knows nothing about these things.”

"I see..."

Ning Fengzhi fell silent, his brows furrowed, and paced slowly around the room.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "I'll go find Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, and the four of us will discuss it together."

“This is a big deal, and I can’t make a decision on my own.”

Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi summoned a disciple and instructed him to invite Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Before long, the two titled Douluo arrived at the fifth floor of the library.

The four sat around a square table, and Ning Fengzhi repeated Wang Teng's words verbatim.

"what?"

Sword Douluo was the first to stand up, his sharp eyes fixed on Wang Teng, and he asked in shock, "Wang Teng, is what you said true?"

"Is there really such a thing as a magical herb that can evolve Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"

"of course."

Wang Teng said calmly, "I myself have taken the immortal herb."

"However, my situation is rather special and cannot be used as a reference."

"If Rongrong wants to consume the immortal herb, she still needs to find a way to obtain the correct harvesting method first."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

"The Broken Clan... or Chrysanthemum Douluo..."

Bone Douluo stroked his beard, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"Neither of them are easy to deal with."

"One was a former subordinate of the Clear Sky Sect, and the other was an elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Fengzhi, this is not a good situation."

"Can we just exchange with them?"

Wang Teng proposed a method and asked.

In his mind, it shouldn't be difficult for everyone to get what they want.

"No."

Sword Douluo shook his head directly and said decisively, "The reason why the Breaking Clan was able to stand firm after breaking away from the Clear Sky Sect is because of their skill in making medicine."

"That's their livelihood, their bread and butter."

“To want their herbal knowledge now is to take their lifeline.”

"Too difficult, too difficult."

"We don't want the potion formula of the Broken Clan."

Wang Teng explained, "We only need knowledge about herbal medicine, specifically the part about the 'miracle herb'."

"Boy, you underestimate the level of secrecy that various sects maintain regarding their knowledge."

Bone Douluo also shook his head and said, "The herbal knowledge of the Broken Clan is a wealth accumulated over generations, more precious than gold and silver."

"Don't even mention exchanging them; even if you offered a city in exchange, they wouldn't budge."

Wang Teng frowned and asked again, "What about Chrysanthemum Douluo? Can't we trade him too?"

"Chrysanthemum Douluo is someone we can talk to."

Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin and pondered, "Although Chrysanthemum Douluo has an eccentric personality, his love for rare flowers and exotic plants is genuine."

"If we offer something valuable enough, perhaps we can exchange it for some knowledge from him."
