Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 24 The sea is vast and the fish jumps

The border between the Kingdom of Silves and the Xingluo Empire.

On the wide official road, a carriage was speeding and entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire.

This is a spacious and elegant four-horse carriage.

The chassis of the carriage is made of fine iron, and there are sixteen thick springs underneath to filter out bumps.

This structure allows the carriage to remain stable even when running on a rugged mountain road, not to mention that the carriage is running on a flat official road.

The only drawback is that the carriage is too heavy and requires at least four horses to pull it.

This kind of carriage is the masterpiece of the Li clan, and is quite popular among the powerful and wealthy in Tiandou City.

Before the Li Clan joined Tang San in selling hidden weapons, the income from the after-sales maintenance services of this type of carriage accounted for more than 20% of the Li Clan's total annual income.

Ever since Tang San gave the forging blueprints for the hidden weapon parts, the disciples of the Power Clan have been busy forging the hidden weapon parts, and most of the previous business has been cancelled.

Naturally, the Four Horse Carriages are no longer manufactured and sold.

However, they dare not cancel the after-sales maintenance service of Troika.

This is because most of the dignitaries in Tiandou City have bought this kind of four-horse carriage; if the after-sales maintenance service is cancelled, it will offend almost all the powerful people in Tiandou City.

Things are rare.

When the Li clan no longer built four-horse carriages, this type of carriage became a symbol of status in Tiandou City.

Among them, the customized models are only available to a very small number of nobles and high-ranking officials.

……

After leaving the official road, the carriage drove into the rugged wilderness road.

On the carriage.

A cool breeze blew, the curtains fluttered, and lifted the strands of hair on Lin Rong's forehead. He looked at the distant scenery outside the window with a relaxed and natural expression, appearing to be comfortable and leisurely.

At this time, more than a month has passed since the hunt for the second soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lin Rong's soul power level has reached level twenty-three.

When he absorbed the 981-year-old Kongqingzhu soul ring, his soul power was raised from level 20 to the peak of level 22.

So a few days ago, he naturally broke through to level 23.

And the head soul bone dropped by Kong Qingzhu, which can absorb the two forces of space and life in the air, was successfully absorbed by Lin Rong safely.

Before absorbing the soul bone, everything was naturally as planned.

First, let the old butler use the power of the stars to thoroughly purify the soul bones.

Perhaps something unexpected happened when Lin Rong absorbed the soul ring twice.

The old butler, who was still frightened, actually used his seventh soul skill: Star True Body when purifying the soul bone, to ensure that the soul bone could be thoroughly purified.

After unleashing the Star True Body, the power of all soul skills except the seventh soul skill increases by 100%, while the soul power consumption is reduced by 50%.

However, there will be a seven-day ban period after use.

The rich and pure power of the stars purified the remaining soul power in the soul bone almost instantly.

But the old butler was still worried that there were still traces of Kong Qingzhu's soul in the soul bone, so he purified it repeatedly several times, and only handed the soul bone to Lin Rong after confirming that it was correct.

After the old butler finished the purification, Lin Rong took over the soul bone, released the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon Martial Soul and the Vine Dragon Domain, and used pure life force to thoroughly refine the soul bone.

After completing all the above steps, Lin Rong began to absorb the head soul bone with confidence. During this period, the old housekeeper maintained the state of the star's true body.

If Lin Rong encounters any accident, he will leave and use his first soul skill with double effect: Falling Stars, under the state of Star True Body, to heal the young master.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred during Lin Rong's absorption of the soul bone.

This really made the frightened old housekeeper feel relieved.

"Grandpa Yu, do you think that this trip to the Xingluo Empire will go smoothly?"

In the carriage, Lin Rong lay on the window sill, turned his head to look at the old butler beside him, and asked softly.

The old butler was sitting on the cushion on the side of the carriage, peeling fruit with a knife in his hand.

On the table next to it was a fruit plate that was almost ready.

After hearing the question asked by Lin Rong, the old butler did not stop his actions and answered in his usual gentle tone:
"Although Bai He is arrogant and stingy, as the patriarch of the Min clan and having lived to a ripe old age, he is not someone who is ignorant of current affairs."

"Besides, the young master is sincere this time. It's just a ginseng that can only be used as a family heirloom. Whether for the sake of face or for the sake of money, the old fellow Bai He can't find a reason to refuse."

While they were talking, the old housekeeper prepared the fruit plate and handed it to Lin Rong.

"Yes, I hope that old guy can understand the current situation, otherwise..."

When Lin Rong said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of fruit to taste it.

Although the Min clan's Sharp-tailed Swift spirit has no lethality, Bai He is a Soul Douluo after all.

Even though his soul rings and soul skills did not give him attacking soul skills, he could easily capture Lin Rong with one hand with his soul power of over level 80.

And because Bai He is the fastest man in the world, even if the old butler is by Lin Rong's side he cannot guarantee his safety.

The thing in Bai He's hand, as well as the subsequent matters related to the Pozhi clan, are extremely critical links in the plan and must not be lost.

But after all, you only have one life. Once you die, the passive skill of the attached soul bone, Banyan Heart, will be triggered, and you will have to wait for a long cooling period before you can have a second life to die.

During this period, Lin Rong died and was really dead.

Therefore, Lin Rong was anxious to acquire space soul skills as a trump card to save his life.

Only if his spatial soul skill is strong enough, he will have the confidence to find Bai He to negotiate a deal.

As for meeting Kong Qingzhu, it was completely unexpected.

Although the spirit skills he obtained were very much to Lin Rong's liking, if he were allowed to choose again, perhaps...

Well, after knowing the soul skills bestowed upon him by Kong Qingzhu, he will still absorb Kong Qingzhu's soul ring, but he will do more preparatory work.

After all, he cherishes his life, but he still has the courage to take risks.

Because of the life-saving skill of Qingye Mark, not only did it give Lin Rong the confidence to deal with Baihe calmly, it also gave him the confidence to find Yang Wudi of the Pozhi Clan.

In the past, people only had one life, so Lin Rong was timid in doing things, and some plans had to be delayed.

But now, he has the Green Leaf Mark to save his life, and the Banyan Heart's Transplantation to back him up. In this big world, where can he not go?
There are two main things happening in the Xingluo Empire at this time.

First, he tried to seize the crystal blood dragon ginseng in Bai He's hand, which was related to the true form of his martial soul with the future seventh soul ring.

Secondly, try to trade for the herbal illustrations of the Pozhi clan from Yang Wudi, which records the methods of picking immortal herbs.

But it would be best if we can get it this time. If not, Lin Rong has other ways.

The most important thing is that there is another matter that requires the help of the Poyi clan.
