Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

So in the end, only three people were at home: Ning Xingchen, Ning Dingling, and Sword Douluo.

"Sister, Uncle Jian, the immortal plant I took out is called Acacia Heartbreak Red, also known as the King of Immortal Plants, and is one of the most precious immortal plants."

"It's so precious? Xingchen, you should take it." Ning Dingling didn't hesitate at all. Good things should be given to her younger brother first, and she didn't care.

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, sometimes you should think about yourself too. You don't have to always consider my brother and me. I have my own opportunities, and my brother has the Qiluo Tulip. This immortal plant is not suitable for me, and my opportunities are no worse than this immortal plant."

"Okay, then!" Ning Dingling nodded.

"Sister, before we pick them, let me tell you the story of this 'Heartbreak Red' flower. Legend has it that long ago, there was a young man..."

After a long while, the story was finished. Ning Xingchen's storytelling was very moving, immersing both Ning Dingling and Sword Douluo in it.

After a long while, Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, whether or not the Acacia Heartbreak Red can be picked depends on you."

"Me pick them? How do I pick them?" Ning Dingling asked doubtfully, as she had no experience in this area.

Ning Xingchen said, "When you are picking the flower, you must think of your beloved, be sincere and devoted, and then sprinkle a drop of your heart's blood on the petal. If you are even slightly distracted, you will not be able to pick the flower, even if you vomit blood and die."

After speaking, Ning Xingchen glanced at Sword Douluo again.

"Xingchen, you...you knew everything?" Ning Dingling blushed, a rare sight for her.

"Sis, I'm not stupid!" Ning Xingchen rolled his eyes at Ning Dingling. He's not a child anymore; he's ten years old now.

In the Douluo World, ten-year-olds can already go to brothels, like Ma Hongjun!

"So, is it feasible?" Ning Xingchen asked again.

Sword Douluo and Ning Dingling exchanged a glance, and it seemed that a single look was enough for them to decide their fate.

Ning Dingling said, "I'll pick them."

With her eyes closed, Ning Dingling began to recall her encounter with Sword Douluo, their acquaintance, and their love.

Soon after, drops of blood fell onto the acacia blossoms, a symbol of unrequited love.

Can it be successful?

In fact, this was also Ning Xingchen's test of their love.

"It's off!" Ning Dingling cried tears of joy.

“Good, very good, sister, you can take this Acacia Heartbreak Red now,” Ning Xingchen said.

"How should it be taken? Xingchen, should we also prepare a medicinal soup for this?"

After all, they had always done it this way when consuming celestial products, so Ning Dingling naturally thought so too.

Ning Xingchen smiled and said, "The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is special, so the way it is taken should also be special."

"It can be taken directly, but before taking it, you need to add a drop of your beloved's heart's blood. If the two of you truly love each other, then the efficacy of this Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red can be increased by at least fifty percent."

"Moreover, taking it will give you a special ability."

Tang San was unaware that his beloved's heart's blood was dripped onto the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.

The test of the Acacia Heartbreak Red is not just for one person, but for a couple in love.

Chapter 36 Ning Xingchen's Ice and Fire Body Refinement (Part 1)

Without hesitation, Sword Douluo took out a drop of his heart's blood and placed it on the petals of the Acacia Heartbreak Red flower so that Ning Dingling could take the celestial medicine.

This is actually his chance to prove himself!

As Sword Douluo's blood dripped down, Heartbreak Red instantly emitted a red aura.

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, you can eat now."

Ning Dingling swallowed it without any hesitation. Her only regret was that, unlike the others, she didn't have a bowl to lick while taking it.

Ning Dingling quickly felt the effects of the medicine after taking it.

He then immediately sat cross-legged and circulated his soul power.

Absorbing these immortal items wasn't actually too dangerous, so Ning Xingchen returned to his room, while Ning Dingling was naturally guarded by Sword Douluo.

An hour later, night fell.

Ning Xingchen also ushered in his first cultivation after completing his first sword embryo.

The next stage of the Starry Sky Sword Body is the Sword Heart Forging.

As for the true nature of the sword's core, the Starry Sword has not provided any clear indication, leaving Ning Xingchen completely baffled and left to proceed cautiously, taking things one step at a time.

Instead of going to the rooftop to cultivate, Ning Xingchen sat by the familiar window.

The Star Sword was released, and it absorbed the power of the stars as usual.

But things are different now. The perfect-grade sword embryo now allows Ning Xingchen to control the power of the stars.

After the power of the stars entered her body, Ning Xingchen's star power gathered in her upper dantian, while her soul power, cultivated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, condensed in her lower dantian.

The power of stars, or rather the soul power of stars, can only be used by the Star Sword, but the soul power cultivated by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in the lower dantian can be used by both martial souls.

If there is any difference, it might be that the power is different when used on the Star Sword Martial Soul.

But this undoubtedly added a bug to Ning Xingchen's system, making him essentially possess two soul powers.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen's cultivation tasks remained the same as usual: cultivating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda during the day and the Star Sword at night.

The next morning, Ning Xingchen had already finished his nighttime cultivation and came to Ning Dingling's place, but Ning Dingling had not yet woken up.

Ning Dingling didn't wake up until almost noon the next day.

At first she was cultivating, but later for some unknown reason she just fell asleep.

"Sister, how is it?" Ning Xingchen asked.

Ning Dingling looked at Sword Douluo and Ning Xingchen, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

"I'm at level 50 now, and my cultivation speed has improved a lot compared to before. Is this what you meant by talent enhancement, Xingchen?"

Ning Xingchen said, "Of course, the younger you are when you take the medicine, the better the effect. Your age is just right."

This also shows that the effects of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red are exceptionally good, and that Sword Douluo has successfully passed the test, maximizing the effects of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.

Ning Dingling is not old; she is only twenty-four years old.

It should be noted that Ning Dingling was already at level 37 at the age of 15, level 42 at 21, and level 45 at 24.

The speed of her improvement was so fast that it was as if she hadn't practiced at all.

Ning Xingchen remembered that when watching the movie, Ning Dingling used her sixth soul skill.

At that time, she was thirty-two years old, and her cultivation speed was acceptable; at the very least, she was at the same level as Qin Ming.

The plot was changed simply because of Ning Xingchen's arrival.

Because Ning Xingchen was still young and injured, Ning Dingling had taken care of him for a long time since he was little, so he didn't have much time to cultivate his soul power.

Ning Xingchen finally recovered, and Ning Fengzhi's talent also improved.

She did not continue to have Ning Fengzhi assist her in managing the sect; all the burdens fell on her shoulders alone.

This is the second time in several years that my cultivation has been delayed.

Even with the delay, Ning Dingling still managed to raise her soul power to level 45.

Compared to Feng Xiaotian, who was born with full soul power at the same age, Ning Dingling was still ahead.

One did it for his family and sect, while the other created his own soul skill, which delayed his cultivation.

"Ling, that's great! We only need to absorb one more spirit ring to advance to the Soul King level," Sword Douluo exclaimed joyfully.

"Sister, you must have sensed something different, right? Do you have any special abilities?" Ning Xingchen asked.

"Yes!" Ning Dingling nodded.

“It seems like Brother Chenxin and I are connected at heart. We can sense each other’s location. This distance must be very, very long,” Ning Dingling said.

Sword Douluo said, "I'm the same as Ling."

This is the effect of Sword Douluo's heart's blood, allowing the two lovers to feel a connection between their hearts.

Although their special abilities may not be outstanding, they can sometimes be very useful.

"Ling, when are you going to search for your fifth spirit ring?" Sword Douluo asked.

Ning Dingling thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I have some things to tell the sect. This trip might take half a month or even a month."

"Xingchen, when will you take the appropriate celestial medicine? You're the only one who hasn't taken it yet."

As always, Ning Dingling is always concerned about her younger brother.

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, when you go to look for soul rings tomorrow, I will go to the Ice and Fire Twin Yin-Yang Eye."

"Do you want us to come with you?" Ning Dingling continued.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xingchen immediately shook his head.

"No, no need. Finding one is very simple and safe, so you guys go find the spirit rings. I'll handle it myself. Once you've successfully absorbed your spirit rings, then take me back with you."

He spent a long time tempering his body in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and he probably didn't even have underwear left. He was practically naked in front of everyone. Wasn't that embarrassing?

Besides, Ning Xingchen had previously told Ning Dingling and the others how terrifying the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was.

If you find yourself jumping in and only coming back up several days later, wouldn't you be living in fear for days on end?

You shouldn't let the people who care about and love you always worry about you.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen refused to let anyone watch her undergo the Ice and Fire Body Refinement.

“Alright, Xingchen, be careful. Uncle Ning Fan is always here, you can contact him if you need anything,” Ning Dingling said.

That afternoon and evening, Ning Dingling began arranging sect affairs, and when she left the sect, Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to step in and take charge.

The three of them set off together early the next morning.

After placing Ning Xingchen at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the two continued to venture deeper into the Sunset Forest.

There were only two of them, and they didn't call anyone else to come.

The task of Bone Douluo and Chen Jianjun was to stay behind and guard the sect.

Ning Xingchen greeted Ning Fan and then went to the cliff.
