Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

His eyes were bloodshot as he scanned his surroundings. When he saw Tianlin calmly drinking tea, he couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to Tianlin's side, saying, "Quick, Sword Lord, tell me how to do the Soul Infusion and Spirit Guiding Technique. The blueprint you gave me is missing this crucial step. Are you trying to force this old man to his death?"

“Senior Lou Gao, the method of infusing souls and guiding spirits is a secret technique of my sect. I think you should know how precious this method is. After all, it is a method that can forge divine artifacts. Do you think I would casually pass it on to outsiders?” Tian Lin asked with a smile.

He thought he had lured Lou Gao enough, and that taking him into the sect should be a sure thing. But this time he underestimated the allure of the divine artifact forging method to Lou Gao. Lou Gao didn't mention joining the sect, but instead knelt down before Tian Lin, "Then I'll become your disciple, and you can teach me, right? Master, please accept my bow!"

Without waiting for Tianlin to refuse, he kowtowed three times to Tianlin. Tianlin almost spat out his water. He only wanted Lou Gao to join the sect, he didn't intend to go this far.

It's not surprising that Lou Gao suddenly went mad. After all, the true method of forging divine weapons is far more attractive than Tang San's Buddha's Wrath Lotus. In the original story, just these hidden weapons were enough to make Lou Gao give up his position as president of the blacksmith association and join the Tang Sect. Not to mention the forging techniques of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect.

"Senior, please rise quickly." Tianlin hurriedly stepped forward to help Lou Gao up.

Lou Gao, however, remained stubborn. "I don't care. I've already kowtowed. From now on, you're my master. Si Long, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to your grandmaster! Oh, and grandma too!"

"Huh? Oh!" Si Long stood there for a moment, still not used to it. This little brother Sword Lord who had just been calling him brother had suddenly become his grandfather?

However, etiquette cannot be disregarded. In the Douluo Continent, lineage is highly valued. Si Long immediately kowtowed to Tian Lin and Ning Rongrong, saying, "Grand-disciple Si Long greets Grandmaster and Grandmaster's wife!"

Tianlin never dreamed of such a scenario, and Ning Rongrong was both amused and exasperated by the sudden appearance of these disciples and grand-disciples. She wasn't even married yet, and she had already become a grandmother.

More importantly, the person who called her "Grandmaster Grandmother" was old enough to be her grandfather.

"Heh heh, the boss has gone too far!" Ma Hongjun said gleefully. "He's already kowtowed, already called me by my title, the rice is already cooked into porridge, he has no choice but to accept this disciple!"

"Senior, please get up. I don't need you to become my disciple. Can't I just pass on this secret technique to you?" Tianlin was extremely anxious. Being asked to kowtow and become a disciple by an old man over eighty years old would shorten his lifespan.

Lou Gao automatically ignored the previous sentence; he only heard that Tian Lin was willing to pass on his secret technique, and he was so excited that he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Master, rest assured, once I have forged my first divine weapon, I will present it to you."

Seeing Lou Gao's smug expression, Tian Lin suddenly felt a sense of utter despair. He had never considered taking on a disciple. Even if he were to, his first disciple would be a cute, cuddly little girl, following him around adorably and calling him "Master."

After all, one of Tianlin's idols is the Nine-Headed Dragon Yaichi, also known as the Dragon King.

Now the little girl has been replaced by an old man; the image is too beautiful for him to bear.

On the other side, Miles, who had returned to the Spirit Hall, had a ferocious look on his face. The first thing he did upon returning was to find Archie, who had sent him the message yesterday.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have offended Jun Tianlin and suffered such humiliation.

Archie was busy working on the woman Miles had given him when Miles suddenly appeared behind him and smashed his skull with a single blow.

This man died on a woman's belly, which could be considered another kind of death under a peony flower. It's just unknown whether he can still be a womanizer after becoming a ghost.

Miles glanced coldly at the woman who was trembling with fear, but did not continue to attack. She was still somewhat attractive, and it would be fine to vent his anger later. Killing her would be a waste.

However, killing Archie alone was not enough to calm him down, since the culprit who offended him was still living a very comfortable life.

"Jun Tianlin! I will make sure you die a horrible death!" Miles said through gritted teeth.

He quickly summoned the fastest flying soul master in the Martial Soul Hall of Gengxin City and asked him to send the news of Jun Tianlin's appearance in Gengxin City back to Martial Soul City. Since he was no match for Tianlin, he would send a titled Douluo instead.

As long as Jun Tianlin dies here, he will have redeemed himself through meritorious service. Even if the words he uttered today, forced by circumstances, reach the ears of the higher-ups, he will surely be forgiven for his actions because of this merit.

Just as Tianlin had predicted, Miles's actions were exactly what he had expected. Now he only needed to wait a few days and he should be able to see the person he wanted to see.

Taking advantage of this time, he tried his best to teach Lou Gao some of the sword-making techniques of Mount Shu.

Although there are some minor differences in the situation, Lou Gao did not directly join the sect, but the master-disciple relationship is actually closer. As a master craftsman of this era, Lou Gao will not go back on his word on this point; otherwise, he would lose face for the entire Blacksmith Association.

"Master, to forge this Flying Sun Shining Divine Sword, it seems we must first forge a divine weapon called Dark Star Sword, and then continue to work on Dark Star Sword. But as I see it, Dark Star has the meaning of covering the sky and the sun, while Flying Sun Shining is a divine sword with radiant light. The two have completely opposite attributes. Why is that?" Lou Gao humbly asked Tian Lin for advice while holding the blueprints for Flying Sun Shining.

“That’s a very good question. In fact, the Feiwen Huanri sword represents the ultimate state of reversal at the extreme and the transformation of the real into the unreal. When the divine sword is hidden, it is like scrap iron, attracting no attention at all. But once it is drawn, it is like a rainbow piercing the sun, and its sword energy is dazzling and incomparable,” Tianlin replied.

"So that's how it is. In other words, this sword will inherit the characteristics of the Dark Star Sword. It will usually conceal its sharpness and only unleash its full power when it is drawn. It is a divine sword that focuses on strong attacks and bursts of power!" Lou Gao quickly figured out the characteristics of Fei Wen Huan Ri by analogy. He truly deserves to be called a master craftsman of this era.

The two talked for a long time, exchanging questions and answers, just like a real master and apprentice.

Chapter 328 Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue

A day later, inside the Spirit Hall, Loeldiara, an intelligence expert, had received a message from Miles: Tianlin and Ning Rongrong had suddenly appeared in Gengxin City, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They usually stay within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the farthest they go is Tiandou City, which is only a few miles from Seven Treasure Mountain. There's no way to make a move against them.

However, Gengxin City is the territory of the Star Luo Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no jurisdiction over it.

He immediately reported this to Pope Bibidon and the elders.

“Your Holiness, Jun Tianlin is alone. This is a golden opportunity that will not come twice. We cannot let it slip by. We must nip it in the bud.” A tall, thin elder said to Bibi Dong.

He was none other than Ghost Leopard Douluo, one of the original nine elders.

Of course, now there can only be seven elders, because the Porcupine Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo were killed by Tianlin, and the Mad Lion Douluo died at the hands of Yu Yuanzhen, so the original nine people have become six.

Fortunately, the Holy Dragon Sect Master, Tuoba hope, broke through, bringing them some fresh blood.

"Who would you send to kill Jun Tianlin? Are you even capable?" Ling Yuan Douluo said mockingly to Gui Bao. She didn't care what others thought; she simply didn't want to take on this mission.

Tianlin possesses extreme fire and extreme ice, which are too much of a counter to her. Cultivating to the level of a Title Douluo is extremely difficult, and she doesn't want to die.

"Even if I can't beat him by myself, can't we gang up on him and kill him?" Ghost Leopard roared. "With all seven of our elders coming out together, I refuse to believe that we can't kill Jun Tianlin, who is only at the Soul Saint level."

"Don't think too simply, Ghost Leopard." A sinister voice rang out. "I've dealt with Jun Tianlin before. He's not an idiot. Since he dared to reveal his identity directly in a place like Gengxin City, he must have a backup plan. Moreover, as the vice sect leader and successor sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, do you think he and Ning Rongrong wouldn't have protectors by their side? I even suspect that Chen Xin and Gu Rong are nearby protecting him."

"According to the intelligence sent back by the Grand Elder, Jian Dao Chen Xin has now broken through to level ninety-nine. Once he appears and joins forces with Jun Tianlin, do you want all seven of us elders to be wiped out by them?"

"What about the Hall of Offerings? How about we ask the Venerable Ones to take action?" Ghost Leopard was extremely embarrassed. He had indeed acted too impulsively. Ghostly Charm's words made a lot of sense. Perhaps Jun Tianlin's deliberate exposure was a ploy to lure them there and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But the elders won't do. There's still the Hall of Worship, where even the weakest are Super Douluo.

"You don't need to worry about that. My Hall of Offerings will not intervene." Just then, Qian Renxue stepped into the Papal Palace and looked at Bibi Dong.

"Why? Jun Tianlin is a great enemy of my Spirit Hall. Are you planning to let such a good opportunity slip by? Or do you still have feelings for Jun Tianlin? Don't forget your identity, my dear 'sister'!" Bibi Dong said coldly.

Faced with Bibi Dong's questioning, Qian Renxue remained fearless and instead laughed, "Sister, I heard that the Heaven Dou Empire recently invited that 'Master' Yu Xiaogang to help them train the empire's young soul masters. He can be considered our enemy, right? As long as you give the order, I will send someone to get his head for you. Killing such a useless great soul master won't take much effort either."

She had already seen it during the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament: Bibi Dong liked that good-for-nothing, otherwise she wouldn't have protected him so much back then.

This also made Qian Renxue very unhappy with Yu Xiaogang. She couldn't understand how this guy managed to beat her father.

His own father was a titled Douluo with a six-winged angel martial soul and the Pope of the Spirit Hall, yet he was inferior to such a useless Great Soul Master.

"You dare!" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's threat, Bibi Dong's soul power surged, and the surrounding elders were repeatedly shaken back, but Qian Renxue remained motionless.

Her current strength far surpasses that of all the elders, including the level 95 Ghost.

In the original story, when she first appeared, she was a Soul Saint of level 70 or so, which was enough for her to fight against a Title Douluo. In the past few years, with the help of the power of the Heavenly Snow, she has actually broken through to the Soul Douluo level and is now a mid-level Soul Douluo of level 85.

In addition, her soul power is so pure that it surpasses that of ordinary titled Douluo by several times. Apart from freaks like Tian Lin, ordinary soul masters who are not at the Super Douluo level are definitely no match for her. It would be impossible for Bibi Dong to intimidate her with soul power alone.

Qian Renxue gave Bibi Dong a cold smile, her face full of mockery. Killing Yu Xiaogang is easier than killing Tianlin, right? But you can't even do something this simple yourself, so what right do you have to ask others to do the same?

Seeing these two 'sisters' locked in a fierce confrontation, the powerful elders dared not utter a single word. One was the daughter of the former pope and the grandson of the high priest, while the other was the disciple of the former pope and the current pope. Neither of them could afford to offend the other.

Qian Renxue continued, “There are actually two reasons why I disagree. First, my grandfather once promised that my Hall of Offerings would no longer take action against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. At that time, he made an oath in the name of the Angel God, and my Qian family will never break it.”

"Secondly, Elder Gui is right. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't possibly not send protectors to safeguard Xiao... Jun Tianlin and that Ning Rongrong. Chen Xin is very likely nearby. As for the two strongest elders of my Hall of Worship, the second elder is already dead, and the first elder is still seriously injured. How many people can they still send to deal with Chen Xin? Even if the remaining five of them come out in full force, it will at most be a lose-lose situation. Even if you elders are included, once Chen Xin uses his Life-Burning Technique and becomes a demigod, his strength will far exceed that of a Limit Douluo. I'm afraid you will all die. What if the two great empires take the opportunity to make a move then?"

"Besides, how can the Spirit Hall possibly have any shame if we gather the entire power of the Spirit Hall just to deal with a child who is not even twenty years old?"

Upon hearing this, all the Title Douluos lowered their heads. Qian Renxue's concerns were quite reasonable. Losing face was one thing, but being killed by Chen Xin would be such a terrible injustice.

Although these people joined the Spirit Hall, it's hard to say they were truly loyal. Most of them were only after the supreme status and endless wealth and glory that the Spirit Hall offered them.

As for dying for the Spirit Hall? Forget about it.

"So, according to you, we don't need to do anything and can just let them leave, right?" Bibi Dong questioned.

"No, this time, I will go to see him myself. If I'm not mistaken, he deliberately exposed his identity in Gengxin City to lure me there," Qian Renxue guessed. Sure enough, the person who understood Tianlin best in this world, besides Ning Fengzhi, was none other than her.

Bibi Dong frowned. "You're going? Aren't you afraid he'll attack you? Although your level is higher than Jun Tianlin's now, I think you're no match for him if it really comes down to a fight."

Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong in surprise. Was she just worried about her?

A hint of tenderness flashed unconsciously in Qian Renxue's eyes as she murmured, "Don't worry, he won't harm me!"

Chapter 329 Qian Renxue Arrives, Miles Complains

Tianlin stayed in Gengxin City for two days. Apart from cultivating, he spent most of his time teaching Lou Gao the art of weapon forging.

Lou Gao originally only wanted to become Tian Lin's disciple for the secret technique of infusing souls and guiding spirits, but after a few days of communication, he discovered that Tian Lin possessed no less than a hundred different methods of forging divine weapons, as well as various precious mineral mining sites that he had never heard of before.

If he could learn all of Tianlin's skills, his forging techniques would surely reach an unprecedented level. Now, he calls Tianlin "Master" with complete respect.

Despite Tianlin's repeated reminders that they should treat each other as equals and not address each other as master and disciple, the old man was incredibly stubborn. The apprenticeship ceremony had already been completed, and Tianlin had shown him the kindness of imparting knowledge and resolving his doubts. Wasn't this a true master and disciple relationship in name and in reality?

In addition, Lou Gao also gathered a large group of advanced blacksmiths, preparing to return to the sect with him to cultivate. However, his favorite disciple Si Long was left behind because Lou Gao had already passed on the position of president of the Blacksmith Association to him.

After all, he couldn't let the Blacksmiths' Association be leaderless. Lou Gao gave Si Long an order: unless he could also cultivate a successor capable of inheriting the Blacksmiths' Association, he would have to continue as the president.

In the past few days, Lou Gao has been urging Tian Lin to return to the sect together, because Tian Lin only brought a small part of the Shu Mountain forging technique this time, and the majority of it can only be taught after returning to the sect.

This was unbearable for Lou Gao, who was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do; Tian Lin was still waiting for a friend.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue did not disappoint him, and arrived in Gengxin City in less than two days.

"Xiao Tian, ​​we're finally going to meet again. Last time at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we were enemies, but this time, we can talk frankly, right?" Qian Renxue knew Tian Lin's personality well. As long as she didn't come with malice, Tian Lin wouldn't see her as an enemy. At least for today, they could still be close friends like they were back then.

As for the deep-seated hatred between the two during their soul-hunting operation, Tianlin had already annihilated almost all of the attackers, and his family was safe and sound. He had avenged any amount of hatred he could have.

For Qian Renxue, it's even simpler. In her world, there are only two kinds of people: those inside her circle and those outside. She treats those inside her circle with sincerity, like her grandfather and Tianlin.

The difference is that Qian Daoliu is at the center of the circle, while Tian Lin is on the periphery. Therefore, when the two have a conflict, she will definitely stand on her grandfather's side without hesitation, and she is even capable of killing Tian Lin.

Even so, Tianlin is still much more important than those outside the circle, who are divided into two categories: those who have value and those who do not.

Originally, the pufferfish, the demon bear, and others were useful, but now that they are dead, their value is gone. She would never hate Tianlin in her circle because of these people who can no longer bring her any benefit.

To outsiders, she prioritizes self-interest, is decisive and ruthless, and very pragmatic – that's Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue led She Long and Gui Bao into the city. The porcupine had already died at Tian Lin's hands, so Gui Bao temporarily replaced her other titled Douluo bodyguard.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Hall, Miles immediately came to greet him. She Long didn't say much, but simply tossed his Elder's Token to him to show his identity.

"You must be Miles. I am She Long, the Serpent Spear Douluo. I came here after receiving your message!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty Serpent Spear. With you here today, Jun Tianlin will surely have no way out." Miles said confidently. In fact, he did not believe that Tianlin could kill a Title Douluo with the body of a Soul Saint. His guess was the same as many others: the Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must have seriously injured the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall and then he took advantage of the situation.

Otherwise, how could such an unrealistic rumor as the Soul Saint Slayer title have appeared?

Now that the real Title Douluo has arrived, let's see how long he can remain arrogant.

“Miles, after entering the city, we heard some bad rumors. Don’t you have anything to explain?” Ghost Leopard questioned Miles.

The incident a few days ago caused such a huge uproar that Miles's act of backing down has almost become the talk of the town.

Who told him to be so arrogant and domineering? The more afraid and disliked everyone was of him before, the more they gloated over his misfortune now.

If only one or two people knew, Miles could kill them to cover it up, but now that the whole city has heard about it, can he really massacre the entire city?
