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

At most, one can only feel the flow of qi and blood and energy.

But Lu Yan wasn't in a hurry; he even had the time to tease the little girl and play with her.

Sometimes she makes the little girl so angry she wants to hit her, and other times she coaxes the little girl until she laughs like a silly little girl.

Just play.

Of course, Lu Yan wouldn't give up the Thick Earth Technique and Shaping Exercises, so he could only drastically reduce his sleep time.

Thanks to the effects of the Thick Earth Technique, Lu Yan only needs to sleep for an hour each day.

The next two weeks will last until the fifth day, which will be the day of the wedding banquet in Tao Tao Village.

Lu Yan returned with his mother Zhang Cui, his second sister, and his little maid, and of course, they didn't go back to Nottingham City.

The old house is much more spacious, comfortable, and has servants to take care of you.

As for Lu Daguan, his eldest, second, and third brothers, after connecting with various people at the wedding banquet, they all busied themselves with their new business.

They disappeared without a trace, along with teachers Li and Zhou, and the Niu and Ma brothers.

Lu Yan ignored it. After practicing Tai Chi for a long time during this period, he actually figured out some of the tricks of guiding exercises.

This was all thanks to a sudden, ingenious idea he came up with.

The piece of millennium whale glue that Lu Yan obtained from the Baron has already been absorbed and refined by Lu Yan.

The reason it was called absorption and refining was because Lu Yan tried to use the village's large furnace, but the temperature was not enough to easily soften the thousand-year-old whale glue.

He had a sudden inspiration and tried to wrap the Thousand-Year Whale Glue with Martial Soul Clay.

The clay, supplemented with small pebbles, is constantly controlled and polished, or rather, ground, and then "inclusive" and "assimilated" through the "thick soil technique" of cultivation.

The millennium whale glue was gradually "accommodated" and "transformed".

Lu Yan discovered that after the martial soul clay was absorbed into his body, the effect of that small amount of whale glue was also activated.

Lu Yan called this method of absorbing external substances by combining the Thick Earth Technique with Martial Soul Clay "Refining".

Unfortunately, refining is too time-consuming and energy-intensive, and ordinary external materials are completely unprofitable and have no value in refining.

If there are any high-quality soul beast materials or minerals in the future, Lu Yan could try to further develop his refining ability.

Perhaps this method can also improve the quality of a martial spirit.

And it was precisely because of the gradual refining of the millennium whale glue.

After Lu Yan's blood and qi surged, his progress in guiding his qigong practice accelerated rapidly.

Although the process is somewhat disturbed by desires, the feeling of Qi and blood circulation is extremely strong when practicing Tai Chi!

In this way, one can resist the interference of desires while practicing Tai Chi to understand the flow of Qi and blood, and to refine one's physical form, Qi, and spirit.

A few days later, the Millennium Whale Glue was completely refined.

Lu Yan has gained a preliminary understanding of using intention to guide qi and qi to control form, and his eight-form Tai Chi Chuan is no longer confined to the eight forms.

Instead, there are no restrictions on moves, or rather, the movements of moves have naturally integrated into the form and energy guidance of improvisation.

It's somewhat like the level of mastery that Lu Yan saw demonstrated and explained in a video by a professor from a traditional Chinese medicine university.

At this level, Lu Yan finally gained the ability to deduce the corresponding actions based on the Thick Earth Technique.

It took another half a month for a set of movements, which Lu Yan named Hou Tu Dao Yin Gong, to finally take shape.

Although it didn't have the powerful combat capabilities of external martial arts as he had imagined, Lu Yan felt that he had at least taken the first step.

After confirming that there were no problems with the technique, Lu Yan passed on the Thick Earth Guiding Technique to Lu Daguan, who rarely returned home.

As for the little girl, she had already learned most of the things by following Lu Yan around every day during this period.

As for the other family members, those suitable for practicing the Thick Earth Guiding Technique will be taught to Lu Daguan himself when the time comes.

While the second sister, Lu Wanqing, was not suited for Hou Tu Dao Yin Gong, Lu Yan had her practice Tai Chi Dao Yin Gong, which could also be passed on to the family.

Although it lacks the accompanying Thick Earth Guiding Exercise's internal energy cultivation method, it still has a good effect on invigorating blood circulation and strengthening the body's foundation.

It may not be possible to cultivate soul power, but it will definitely lay the foundation for bringing back immortal herbs and becoming a soul master in the future.

After all, the second sister, Lu Wanqing, is already sixteen years old this year, even though Lu Daguan and Lu Yan have decided not to marry off any more daughters of the Lu family.

But given his age, Lu Yan worried that even if he obtained the immortal herb in the future, his achievements would be limited, so he still needed to lay a solid foundation.

Having arrived here, Lu Yan had almost finished the things he needed to do for his family before heading to Tiandou City.

His resonance clay reserves have also reached their limit, with a volume of five cubic meters, although the soul power bonus ratio has been reduced.

It's only a little over 16 times Lu Yan's maximum soul power limit, but Lu Yan is now all set, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Five days later, Dongfeng—no, I mean Brother Tao—arrived.

They came to awaken the martial spirits of the children in the village, and incidentally brought Lu Yan news that everything went smoothly and there were no future troubles.

Afterwards, Lu Yan chatted with Brother Tao for a while.

Tao is still an honest man.

He had already been reassigned, but his wife, Sisi, was still working at the Spirit Hall in Notting City.

As a result of insufficient manpower, the awakening of martial spirits in Tao Tao Village has been postponed this year.

Tao Ge personally brought back the news in order to help his wife share the workload.

I voluntarily took time off and came back to do volunteer work.

Sure enough, Brother Tao still loves his job as the "Blind Douluo" even more.

After Tao Ge left, Lu Yan also began preparations for his departure.

After meeting with Old Man Su, Teacher Li, Teacher Zhou, and the two brothers, Niu and Ma, they were informed of the final outcome of the matter.

As for Wang Dachui, they are in Hunter Soul Town, and Su Yuntao has already met them.

Afterwards, Lu Yan bid farewell to everyone and told them not to see him off when he left.

Everyone was busy with their own things, including Lu Daguan and his three older brothers, who didn't even come to see Lu Yan off.

Finally, with his aunt, second aunt, mother, second sister, and little maid watching him go, Lu Yan set off towards Tiandou City.

When it was time to leave, Lu Ling cried her eyes out.

"Brother, please don't go! Waaah, I can't bear to leave you. I won't be able to see you for so long."

"I don't want you to let me ride a mud donkey anymore, and I don't want to grow mud wings and fly in the sky anymore, boohoo."

"Brother, I don't want you to go on a long trip. I want to see you every day."

In the end, Lu Yan used small stones and fossils as clay to make a small stone sculpture of himself and gave it to the little girl.

He promised to return two years later, before she awakened her martial soul, which calmed the little girl down.

The mother, Zhang Cui, the second sister, Lu Wanqing, and even the eldest and second aunts all had red eyes.

Lu Yan is going to travel alone to Tiandou City, thousands of miles away, and stay there for at least two years. How could they not be worried?

They even started to resent Lu Daguan a little. How could he be so careless? Couldn't he have advised Lu Yan or come up with a better solution?

Are we just going to let Lu Yan set off alone like this?

Lu Yan also gave his mother, aunt, and second aunt a parting gift.

As for his second sister, Lu Yan gave her a gold soul coin, yes, that gold soul coin with commemorative significance.

As for his resentment towards his wife and daughter at home.

Lu Daguan: He has the strength of a Soul Venerable, is quick-witted, and cautious. He's safer than me when he goes out. What do I have to worry about?

Actually, Lu Daguan was still a little worried, but he couldn't "control" Lu Yan anymore, so he could only let him be.

Besides, if others don't know, how could he not know?

Lu Yan is not the kind of one-time burst combat power that Old Man Su and the others knew.

Rather, it refers to long-term, sustained combat power at the Soul Master level.

Therefore, since Lu Yan has his own ideas, Lu Daguan will leave it entirely to Lu Yan to decide.

Even this old man, Deng, managed to steal 20,000 gold soul coins from Lu Yan.

He said he would pay him back tenfold in the future.

Now that Lu Yan has gone on a long trip, only 10,000 Gold Soul Coins remain in his black card.

Old Deng, you're going against the Heavenly Gang!

Despite his anger, Lu Yan still gave Lu Daguan a gift.

That was a badge and token of Baron Shi Yue, and he was warned to use it with caution.

Lu Yan believed that Lu Daguan was capable of managing his business, but in an emergency, a nobleman's token might come in handy.

This thing is hot to handle, but Lu Yan knows that Lu Da Guan has the ability to make good use of it.

With this in mind, Lu Yan could proceed to Tian Dou City with complete peace of mind.

As for not traveling with caravans, Lu Yan naturally had his own reasons.

Chapter 52 Four months later, Master Lu of Heaven Dou City

Four months later, in Tiandou City.

This is an incredibly grand city, with millions of permanent residents and countless transient populations.

This made the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire one of the most prosperous cities on the continent.

In this city, which would take an average person several hours to walk through.

The large area in the north-central part of the city is traditionally considered an aristocratic district.

Within this aristocratic district lies a small complex of buildings covering over a thousand square meters.

This place is the headquarters of the Royal Art Exchange Association of Tiandou City.

Meanwhile, in a spacious meeting room, twenty or thirty members participating in the exchange were already seated in their respective places.

They are all renowned artists in sculpture, painting, landscape architecture, and other fields.
