Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 16 Hidden Weapon
The speed of cultivation is nearly three and a half levels a year, and the soul power cultivation level is at the peak of level sixteen or just entering level seventeen.

This is Ma Hongjun's achievement in the past year. I don't know which one is better compared to the current Tang San.

Speaking of Tang San, he has been living a very comfortable life in Tiandou City over the past year.

Not only does he have an aunt like Tang Yuehua who cares about him, but he also gains the loyalty of the Li clan.

As early as a year ago.

As soon as the news of the nephew of Lord Yuexuan came out from Tiandou City, Tai Tan, a die-hard fan of Tang Hao, came to visit him immediately.

The Li Clan was once a vassal of the Haotian Sect, and Titan, as the clan leader, was quite familiar with the inner workings of the Haotian Sect.

Tang Yuehua has only two older brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

Tang Xiao has no wife or children, but Tang Hao is suspected to have a wife.

Therefore, in Titan's view, the nephew next to Tang Yuehua must be his master's son.

After Titan saw Tang San and confirmed that he was correct, he immediately made Tang San his young master and gave his entire Li clan to him.

Therefore, Tai Long became Tang San's follower seven years earlier than in the original novel.

The Power Clan was good at forging, and with their help, Tang San handed over the forging of the hidden weapon parts to the Power Clan, while he completed the assembly himself.

Therefore, the progress in Tang Sect's hidden weapons is far ahead of the original work.

In addition, the humiliation Tang San suffered in the Haotian Sect made him realize the power of the soul master system and the importance of his own strength.

Therefore, Tang San is much more diligent in cultivating his soul power than in the original novel.

Two months ago.

Lin Rong once met Tang San at an auction in Tiandou City.

It is said that wealth and power nourish people.

At that auction, Tang San didn't look like a country boy at all. Instead, he looked like a leader of a powerful force.

At that time, Lin Rong used life perception to see that Tang San's soul power level was level sixteen.

In his previous life, many people believed that Tang San's innate full soul power was cultivated through practicing Xuan Tian Gong.

But with Xuantian Gong, it makes no difference even if this innate full soul power is fake.

There is Tang Yuehua’s popular science and Tang San’s own personality.

His first soul ring is definitely around four hundred years old, so his soul power level after absorbing the soul ring is level thirteen, the same as in the original book.

By this calculation, Tang San improved his soul power by three levels in a little over a year and a month, and his training speed was nearly half a level lower than Ma Hongjun.

But Lin Rong knew that this was only temporary.

As the level of Xuantian Gong improves, Tang San will gradually open up the eight extraordinary meridians in his body.

Every time a meridian is opened, the speed of cultivation will increase.

In that auction, the main items were the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.

Unsurprisingly, those hidden weapons, which were extremely powerful and had almost no threshold for use, attracted Ning Fengzhi's attention.

And it was natural for Tang San to get in touch with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Similarly, when Ning Fengzhi learned that Tang San was the "inventor" of these hidden weapons, he immediately thought of recruiting him.

There was even a thought of betrothing Ning Rongrong to Tang San, so as to completely tie Tang San to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's ship.

But soon, when Ning Fengzhi learned that Tang San's true identity was Tang Hao's son, the admiration and recruitment in his eyes instantly turned into a subtle murderous intent.

But due to various concerns, without the acquaintance of Ning Rongrong and Tang San, Ning Fengzhi still did not choose to take action, just like in the original book.

Instead, he reached a deal with Tang San.

Tang San got five million gold soul coins and Ning Fengzhi got one hundred sets of hidden weapons, and both of them felt that they had made a good deal.

Among them, Tang San really made a profit.

Although the Li clan had a rich family background, they also had to support a large number of clan members, and Yuexuan's income also had to be used to supply the Haotian Sect's material consumption. This resulted in Tang San not having many gold soul coins at his disposal.

And the 5 million gold soul coins that Ning Fengzhi gave to Tang San had a net profit of 99%, which was simply a huge profit.

In contrast, Ning Fengzhi suffered a loss.

Because he planned to ask a skilled craftsman to disassemble the hidden weapon and then imitate it.

But unfortunately, all the hidden weapons sold were insured by Tang San.

Without the Tang Sect's unique disassembly techniques, once an outsider disassembles the weapon, the safety will be triggered and all the key parts of the hidden weapon will be damaged and can no longer be reassembled.

Even the master craftsman Lou Gao was unable to disassemble the hidden weapon's parts intact without the Tang Sect's unique disassembly techniques.

Not to mention the rest.

Therefore, although Ning Fengzhi's plan was good, he ultimately underestimated the insurance measures of the Tang Sect in another world.

In the original novel, it can be said that five million gold soul coins were used to buy the Qiluo Tulip. Whether the counterfeiting of the hidden weapon succeeds or not, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will make a profit.

But this time, the Qiluo tulip still grows in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyin.

Ning Fengzhi used five million gold soul coins to buy those one hundred sets of hidden weapons. It was a complete loss.

Although Ning Fengzhi could understand the matter of hidden weapon insurance, his murderous intent towards Tang San inevitably increased a bit.

The Tang Sect's hidden weapons are divided into mechanical hidden weapons and technical hidden weapons.

Mechanical hidden weapons, such as Buddha's Wrath Lotus, Stormy Pear Blossom Needle, Peacock Feather...

Most of the mechanical hidden weapons are mixed with poison and are used by the outer disciples of the Tang Sect. They are not presentable.

Of course, a few mechanical hidden weapons such as the Buddha's Wrath Lotus are excluded.

Hidden weapons, such as Bat Wing Reincarnation, Bodhi Blood, Guanyin Tears...

All the techniques and hidden weapons require the coordination of many Tang Sect's unique skills such as Xuantian Gong and Xuanyu Hand to be used.

As for the Tang Clan’s unique skills such as Xuan Tian Gong, only the direct disciples of the Tang Clan’s inner sect are qualified to learn them.

Therefore, the hand-to-hand hidden weapon is a high-end hidden weapon exclusively for the inner disciples of the Tang Sect.

Lin Rong could ignore the rest of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, but he was extremely wary of the Guanyin Tears.

After all, the power of Guanyin's Tears in the original book is enough to kill gods.

But fortunately, as the Tang Sect's number one technique, the conditions for using Guanyin's Tears are extremely harsh.

If one wants to use the Tears of Guanyin, all the unique skills of the Tang Sect, such as the Mysterious Heavenly Skill, the Mysterious Jade Hand, the Purple Demon Eye, the Ghost Shadow, etc., must be practiced to the highest level.

Not to mention other conditions, just the highest level of Xuan Tian Gong, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, requires Tang San to have a soul power cultivation level of at least level ninety-five.

Combined with other harsh conditions, Lin Rong only needs to make it impossible for Tang San to ever meet one of the conditions, and then Tang San will never be able to cast the Avalokitesvara Tears that is said to "never fail".

Although Guanyin Bodhisattva is the incarnation of great compassion.

But as a true Buddha who has seen through the worldly affairs, how could he shed tears over worldly affairs?

Besides, it is extremely disrespectful for ordinary people to make Guanyin cry!
Therefore, it is better for things like Guanyin's Tears to only exist in Tang Sect legends.

"Cut off hands, gouge out feet, dig out eyes, all of these can prevent Tang San from using the Avalokitesvara Tears. Which one is more merciful?"

"We'll see when the time comes. If there's one that doesn't please us, we'll just get rid of it."

　Many people speculate that Xuantian Gong, as an authentic Taoist technique, should not appear in a sect like the Tang Sect.

　　It makes sense logically, I think so too.

　　But the strange thing is that, as the core inherited techniques and hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, they all require the internal force of Xuan Tian Gong to be used.

　　It is possible that the Tang Sect originally only had hand-type hidden weapons, and mechanical hidden weapons were developed later.

　　Because although the hand-to-hand concealed weapon is called a "hidden weapon", in essence it is more similar to the highly skilled martial arts such as "Transferring Flowers and Jade" and "Finger Magic".
