Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Thinking this way, Dugu Bo found the boy increasingly unpleasant to look at.

But then I thought about how this kid always bickered with me all the time.

I felt both annoyed and amused.

Even Dugu Bo had to admit that spending time with this kid was indeed quite interesting.

However, Dugu Bo's face quickly darkened.

After taking his magic pouch, that brat said, "Hey? Old man Dugu, why haven't you left yet?"

"What are you still doing in my herb garden?"

What do you mean, "your medicinal herb garden"? It's clearly my medicinal herb garden!

Dugu Bo was so angry he almost beat the kid up.

But then I thought better of it.

If I mess with this kid, Yan Yan will definitely cause trouble for her grandfather.

Thus, Dugu Bo became increasingly angry as he thought about it, and he resolved the flaws in his own martial soul.

After switching cultivation techniques and experiencing a surge in strength, he had long been itching to seek revenge against Chrysanthemum Pass.

Thus, the boy was instructed not to go near the spring.

After providing some precautions and instructions on how to enter and exit the poison array, the instructions were given.

Dugu Bo decisively chose to leave.

He's going to go to Chrysanthemum Pass to vent his anger; he's very angry right now.

As for Lu Yan, let him be. He has his poisons and Ye Renxin's herbal medicine heritage.

Given how cautious this kid is, he has no worries whatsoever about him causing any problems.

As for the medicinal herb garden, he was even less worried.

Could this kid possibly have ruined the whole family's medicinal herb garden?

Lu Yan is of course impossible.

He's not like Tang San, that shameless scoundrel.

I wish I could dig three feet into the ground.

He has always cherished all valuable resources.

Therefore, it was natural to take down Dugu Bo and the little snake girl as well.

Take them all.

In this way, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire would become our own property, and naturally we would cherish it.

So many exotic flowers and plants are growing well here, how can we bear to let them leave their home?

However, thinking of the little snake girl, Lu Yan smiled again.

Perhaps he initially had a very utilitarian mindset.

But now, he no longer harbors any scheming intentions.

They were completely and sincerely invested their emotions, and of course, the mute sister was too.

Perhaps in the future there will be Huo Wu, Qian Renxue...?

Thinking of this, Lu Yan cursed himself for being a scumbag.

Then, he forgot about it.

A real man dares to confront the desires deep within his heart.

That's right, Lu Yan is a pervert!

When he was alone, Lu Yan's thoughts would always wander.

He felt that he had mastered the art of earth-遁 (a skill that allows one to teleport underground), and after having clones, he did become a little arrogant.

While the ability to burrow underground is powerful, it is not without its weaknesses, and there are many ways to counter it.

Needless to say, the biggest problem with clones is still the distance, which remains unsolved.

In this way, Lu Yan's chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.

The priority issue to address is the imbalance of the five elements.

This is one of the reasons why he came to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

It is precisely to take advantage of the special environment of this place that the energy of water and fire can be used to control and weaken the excessive energy of metal and earth.

Although this method can only temporarily stop the trend of imbalance of the five elements.

It can only prevent the situation from getting worse, and it will also delay the improvement of internal strength.

But this is just a transition.

Lu Yan believed that as long as he spent some time, he could continue to develop and improve the mental cultivation method and techniques.

The current problems will resolve themselves.

Therefore, Lu Yan did not immediately enter a state of cultivation.

Instead, he found a corner close to the cliff and casually brushed away the celestial stars that were floating and dancing around him.

Instantly, an amber-colored energy wave rippled outwards.

The next moment, a stone house clinging to the cliff rose from the ground.

Under Lu Yan's manipulation and shaping, it gradually took shape into a small, detached courtyard.

Everything is made of stone, yet it has a classic, antique charm.

Lu Yan referenced ancient architecture from his previous life and incorporated game-style design elements.

Earth Escape Technique: Ancient Architecture Technique.

Looking at his work, Lu Yan thought with a touch of wicked humor.

Throughout the entire construction process, he utilized external earth-based energy and materials.

This results in a permanent sculpted object.

Furthermore, with his current elemental control abilities, he can even petrify and shape objects without relying on his first soul skill.

In this way, it seems that the first soul skill has become useless?

actually not.

After the creation was completed, Lu Yan's first spirit ring lit up, and immediately, the sturdiness of the entire building began to increase.

Lu Yan stopped only after the entire structure had reached a level of sturdiness approaching that of gold and iron.

He stepped forward and knocked on the wall of the building, which immediately produced a metallic sound.

Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Without the aid of his first spirit ring, he could not have created such a sturdy material with his current elemental control abilities alone.

Fossils are made of mud, and in a sense, their symbolic meaning is that earth produces metal.

This corresponds to the earth element in clay and the metal element, which is secondary.

Naturally, he is not fixed and can only be petrified. Rather, the effect will increase as Lu Yan's martial soul quality improves.

Lu Yan felt that if he could decipher the laws within in the future, he might be able to achieve a different kind of "turning the earth into steel".

Just as mud can be turned into stone, so too can fossils be turned into mud.

The imagery leans towards metal generating water, which aligns perfectly with the metal and water elements found in clay.

This greatly enhances Lu Yan's ability to burrow underground and create swamps and mud pits.

Otherwise, relying solely on one's own elemental control abilities, it's still somewhat lacking to say that one has mastered Earth Escape Technique.

Thus, looking at his sculpted building, Lu Yan always felt that something was missing.

After a long while, he understood.

The stone lions at the entrance are missing!

Thus, Lu Yan combined some lion-type soul beasts he knew with the stone lion from his previous life.

He then sculpted two small statues and placed them at the entrance, only then did he feel somewhat satisfied.

Excellent, excellent!

It would be incredibly cool if these stone lions could move on their own in the future.

Lu Yan went into the stone house to make some arrangements and then settled in.

A month has passed.

During this time, Dugu Bo returned looking disheveled.

Lu Yan thought that the old man had lost the fight and was then beaten up by Yue Guan.

Thinking to myself, this shouldn't be the case; at this point in time, Yue Guan shouldn't be that fierce.

I only found out after asking this old man.

He won.

They chased after Chrysanthemum Douluo and beat him mercilessly, then Ghost Douluo showed no martial ethics.

The two of them joined forces, chasing Dugu Bo around like a chicken chasing a dog.

In the end, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that the victory was unfair and withdrew, allowing Dugu Bo to catch his breath.

Otherwise, things might have been even worse.

It's definitely not going to die.

But I guess he'll be too ashamed to come back and show off to Lu Yan how he crushed Chrysanthemum Douluo.

I have to admit I'm impressed by this old man's actions.

After a few sarcastic remarks, Dugu Bo was angered by Lu Yan and left again.
