Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 87 Azure Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus

"But Ning Rongrong doesn't know about the [puzzle]."

"As someone who has passed the theoretical exams, he shouldn't be so ignorant and incompetent."

“Ning Rongrong is not Ning Tian. Even if Ning Tian tries hard, he still needs the help of the temple guardians to pass the test.”

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will only take root and sprout, and it is difficult to eradicate.

Ning Rongrong still didn't understand what had happened.

Han Tao seems
Doubting yourself?
"You're too hasty."

Compared to Han Tao's anxiety, Ning Fengzhi's expression was much calmer.

He turned to a certain page of the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs" and handed it to Han Tao:

"Let's see."

The Azure Lotus Heart Lotus Root is a kind of immortal herb.

A plant that can mimic human figures and also possesses certain hallucinogenic properties.

The lotus root itself possesses the characteristic of transforming into a human being, as exemplified by Nezha.

Ning Rongrong, holding the cat, moved closer to Han Tao and saw the contents of the book.

"Azure Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus Root?"

Lotus, lotus root, and lotus seedpod together form a magical herb.

Ning Rongrong recalled for a moment, then licked her lips.

"I didn't eat it."

"When I first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I saw this immortal herb, but later, when I tried to find it again, I couldn't find it anywhere."

She herself couldn't quite remember which magical herbs she had eaten.

But if you ask her what kinds of magical herbs she hasn't tried, Rongrong can list them all.

"That's easy to understand. Since it has hallucinogenic abilities, it certainly doesn't want to be eaten by you."

"Later, when I left the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it transformed into your appearance and followed me out."

The value of the herb "Immortal Herb" should not be underestimated; the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss is a prime example.

The same goes for the tulip.

"what?"

"It transformed into my likeness?"

Ning Rongrong's face flushed red, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

How could it do such a thing?

Han Tao was somewhat puzzled.

According to Ning Rongrong, she seems to have made some kind of deal with this "miracle herb"?
Rongrong's face couldn't hide her secret.

Ignoring those, Han Tao continued reading the materials.

I carefully and repeatedly examined the "Green Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus Root" in the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs".

The illusion presented by the "Green Lotus Illusionary Heart Lotus Root" depends on what the people around it show.

It had seen Ning Rongrong, her martial spirit, her tone, expression, and mannerisms, which is why it was able to impersonate Ning Rongrong so convincingly.

Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as these hallucinations are not retrieved from my memory and thoughts, that's fine."

"In this way, we don't need to be so urgent about preventing problems at the level of thinking."

While pondering, Han Tao turned to the next page.

Methods for verifying the efficacy of the herb.

The illusion presented by the "immortal herb" and the disguise it employed could not escape the perception of a titled Douluo.

It is exactly the same as the "100,000-year-old soul beast".

"When a Soul Master cultivates to the level of a Title Douluo, their perception abilities undergo a qualitative change?"

Not only does it unlock the ability to fly, but it also renders many methods of stealth ineffective.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two Title Douluo.

With a titled Douluo in charge, that immortal herb probably doesn't dare to come over.

Therefore, it can be inferred that this Ning Rongrong is real.

"Rongrong, do you know where that fairy herb went?"

Ning Fengzhi poured a cup of calming tea, strode forward, and asked.

"I don't know." Ning Rongrong turned her head away.

The cat in my arms meowed.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and poured the tea into the plate.

The orange cat stuck its head out, about to lick it a couple of times, when Ning Rongrong pressed it back down.

"Well, Master, I'll take my leave now."

Han Tao quietly took two steps back, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong dropped the cat in her arms and followed behind Han Tao.

Two days later,
Han Tao is currently practicing his cultivation.

Yang Wudi, accompanied by a young man, slowly walked over. "I heard you're planning to organize a team to participate in the National Elite Soul Master Competition?"

Han Tao nodded: "That's right."

"Have you gathered all the necessary personnel?"

"No."

“Perfect timing. This is my grandson, Yang Qixin, a level 31 Battle Soul Master. His Martial Soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear.”

Yang Wudi pulled the young man in front of Han Tao and introduced his martial spirit and level.

The young man had a handsome face, gloomy eyes, and was dressed neatly, seemingly without inheriting the ugly genes of the "Broken" clan.

Yang Wudi's face twitched, and he hesitated to speak.

Han Tao roughly understood what he meant: Chief Yang wanted his grandson to join his team and go out to gain experience.

However, given his position as clan leader, he was inevitably suspected of abusing his power for personal gain and oppressing others.

Actually, it would be much better to write a letter of recommendation and have Yang Qixin come to Han Tao herself.

but
"Would you like to join my team?"

Han Tao asked Yang Qixin.

"Mm." Yang Qixin nodded.

"Let's make this clear beforehand: if our team wins the championship, you won't get the Soul Bone."

Yang Qixin remained silent.

He felt that Han Tao was being somewhat unrealistic.

"You actually want the championship?"

Yang Wudi couldn't help but ask half a question.

"Of course!"

Han Tao countered, "If you're not after the soul bone, what's the point of participating in this competition?"

"It's a learning experience."

"Isn't it a rewarding experience to compete and exchange ideas with top peers?"

Yang Wudi frowned.

To be honest, he didn't have a high opinion of Han Tao's team.

With three support Soul Masters and one Blue Silver Grass, this lineup would be quite good if they could win the qualifiers.

Want to make it to the finals? You might as well give up and go to sleep.

Han Tao rubbed his forehead.

"Being in one of the three upper sects."

This is a clash of values ​​between him and Yang Wudi.

It is a clash of values ​​between modern people and Soul Masters from Douluo Continent.

It is a conflict of ideas between theoretical researchers and the bloodline theory.

Han Tao's choice of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was based on only two objectives.

Firstly, there is the protection of the sect.

The sect's protection allows Han Tao to grow up safely.

has no meaning?
"In the initial stage, completely abandon any fighting ability!"

Abandon the pursuit of combat power and focus on breakthroughs in personal growth.

Pursuing combat power requires a lot of time, and time is what Soul Masters lack most in the early stages.

"Combat ability is considered indispensable by all Soul Masters at present."

However, for Han Tao, this is something that can be sacrificed in the early stages.

Personal growth and soul power level are the most important factors.

Secondly, there is wealth.

Research requires financial resources; without money, nothing can be done.

In Han Tao's understanding:
Theory > Wealth > Immortal Herb = Soul Bone

Yes, the immortal herbs and soul bones are listed after the money.

Perhaps for native Soul Masters, those who believe in bloodline and talent, immortal herbs are more important than anything else.

Money can't buy immortal herbs, money can't buy soul bones, so money is nothing.

"This conversion book is correct."

Han Tao did not think they were wrong.

It's my fault.

Money is more valuable than the herb; this equivalence formula only applies to oneself.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are they rich? They're incredibly rich!
They're incredibly rich, so rich they don't even know what to do with it.

When money cannot be converted into strength or into corresponding theories, it can only be used to enjoy life.

The most typical example is Ning Tian.
