Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 36 Falling geese are the colors of autumn
When there are a lot of things to do and you are busy, time flies quickly.

When Lin Rong broke through level 20, it was midsummer.

As a result, after hunting for spirit rings and distant planets, three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

The heat of July is scorching, summer is gone and autumn is coming.

Tiandou City, located in the north of the empire, is already a scene of autumn.

As the imperial capital, the streets of Tiandou City are still prosperous with people coming and going.

The climate is dry and there is a cool breeze in autumn.

The light yellow leaves were blown by the autumn wind, falling from the bare branches, dancing in the wind, and no one knew where they would go.

Tiandou City South District, Dugu Mansion.

There is a large maple forest planted in front and behind the courtyard.

Since the beginning of autumn, maple leaves turn from green to red and finally fall from the maple trees.

The maple leaves are as red as fire, and the maple leaves falling all over the courtyard are like the falling of dazzling fireworks, spectacular and beautiful.

Dugu Yan strolled in the maple forest, immersed in it.

Ever since her grandfather Dugu Bo moved his family here, he planted maple trees in front and behind the courtyard and decorated it to be the same as his original home, making Dugu Yan feel warm.

Every year, the maple leaves turn red and fall all over the sky.

The fiery scene before her eyes always reminds her of her childhood, the most vague yet warmest memories.

Her grandfather Dugu Bo said.

Every generation of the Dugu family is born in the season when the maple leaves turn red in autumn, symbolizing the cycle and reincarnation of life.

Dugu Yan herself was born two months later, at the beginning of the month at the end of late autumn.

Sky, sunset.

A flock of geese flew by, migrating southward.

Her grandfather once said that wild geese always migrate in autumn, just like everyone in their family is born in autumn.

Maybe the color of life is the same.

This is the origin of the name Dugu Yan.

Outside the maple forest.

Dugu Bo stood silently in the courtyard, without any thoughts or words.

Green Phosphorus Snake, the martial spirit passed down from generation to generation in the Dugu family.

The green phosphorus snake venom possessed by this kind of martial soul not only hurts others, but also hurts oneself.

Ever since the ancestor of Dugu family awakened the Green Phosphorus Snake spirit.

The Green Phosphorus Snake's innate poison became a curse that the Dugu family could never escape from forever.

Moreover, once the owner of the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul practices the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul, its innate poison will corrode himself.

Moreover, this poison can be transmitted to the partner and the offspring born will also inherit the poison.

This poison is contracted from the mother's womb, and if you don't practice the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Spirit.

The owner of this martial spirit will die early because his body is too weak to withstand the erosion of the green phosphorus snake venom.

Only by practicing the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Spirit can one hope to live longer.

However, by practicing the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul, the innate poison that corrodes the body will also grow stronger.

In the early stages of practice, one can still use soul power to suppress the poison in the body.

However, once the spiritual power cannot keep up with the speed at which the poison in the body increases, the person will die suddenly from the poison.

This is also the reason why the Dugu family has not lived long.

Dugu Bo, the patriarch of this generation of the Dugu family, is talented enough to have cultivated himself all the way to the level of Soul Douluo.

After practicing to this level, Dugu Bo's ability to suppress the poison in his body has reached its limit.

But perhaps it was God's will that allowed Dugu Bo to discover the rare treasure of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

The environment there is extremely cold and extremely hot. If an ordinary person were to stay there for long, he would die because of the erosion of the two extremes.

But for Dugu Bo who was carrying a deadly poison, the extremely cold and hot auras there suppressed the poison in his body.

With this opportunity, even though Dugu Bo didn't recognize any of the peerless immortal items in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he was able to cultivate to the realm of Titled Douluo due to the combination of fate.

After cultivating to the level of Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo completed his lifelong pursuit and had no regrets in this life.

The only person he was concerned about was his granddaughter Duguyan. Dugubo's biological father died young, as did his only son. Even his daughter-in-law died after giving birth to Duguyan because she was infected by the poison infected by his son.

In order for his granddaughter to gain happiness and freedom, Dugu Bo concealed the family's martial arts secrets from Dugu Yan.

But truth will come out sooner or later, and one day, Dugu Yan will discover the secret of her own martial arts soul.

But these are not what Dugu Bo is most worried about, there is another matter.

Dugu Yan's talent for cultivation was not very good, and because Dugu Bo had doted on her since she was a child, she was not very serious about cultivation.

In two months, Dugu Yan will be fifteen years old.

However, Dugu Yan's soul power level is only level 29, which is close to level 30.

At this rate of training, it is impossible for Dugu Yan to cultivate his soul power to the level sufficient to enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

The environment there was such that even Dugu Bo couldn't stay for long. If Dugu Yan wanted to use the environment of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to suppress the poison, he would need to have the cultivation level of a Soul Sage at least.

However, due to Dugu Bo's own cultivation level, the poison passed on to his offspring was even more powerful.

Given Dugu Yan’s current condition, she can only practice until she is 25 years old at most, before her soul power will not be able to suppress the poison.

As for the 25-year-old Soul Saint, Dugu Bo didn't even dare to think about it.

Therefore, Dugu Bo only hopes that his granddaughter can live happily in her limited life, and the rest is no longer important.

Two months later, it will be his granddaughter's birthday, and he must make it a beautiful one and prepare the best birthday gift.

Maybe by then, his granddaughter's soul power will also break through to level 30, which will be a double blessing.

Since this is possible, he has to go to the Sunset Forest and capture alive a snake-like soul beast that is suitable to be his granddaughter's third soul ring.

If his granddaughter had really broken through to level 30 that day.

By then, he would be able to take out the captured snake soul beast and give his granddaughter double the joy.

Time flies, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The autumn heatwave arrived on time, just like in previous years.

When the temperature rises and it is sunny without rain.

During the day, the cool autumn weather turned into a scorching hot day; but at night, the temperature dropped rapidly and became much colder than the previous few days.

Duke Lin’s Mansion, banyan tree forest.

In late autumn, the place is still evergreen, without a single yellow leaf.

The dense branches and leaves in the forest completely block out the sunshine from the cloudless sky, making the climate in the forest still cool and pleasant.

"Young Master, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect sent two things over."

When Lin Rong heard this, he looked up along the old butler's hand.

On the tray in the old butler's hand, there was a fan and two golden cards.

"Two gold soul coin cards, each with a face value of one million gold soul coins."

"As for this fan, the body is made of kingfisher feathers and the handle is made of diamonds."

A fan made of kingfisher feathers? A fan handle made of diamonds?

Lin Rong picked up the fan, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

"I have never seen such gorgeous and luxurious kingfisher feathers before. As for the diamond, although its quality is average, if I am not mistaken, it should be a natural diamond from a century-old diamond mammoth."

"Combined with this, could it be that the feathers of this kingfisher came from the Emerald Demon Bird?"

Lin Rong's brain worked rapidly and he soon figured out the key.

"Ning Fengzhi was really anxious. In order to verify the effect, he actually used the soul bone to increase Ning Rongrong's soul power to level 20."

"Moreover, the second spirit ring that Ning Rongrong absorbed came from a green demon bird. Its green feathers, together with the natural diamonds of the diamond mammoth, were used to make this fan."

"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not have any inherited soul bones. I don't know how many ten thousand year soul beasts died at the hands of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo in order to obtain the soul bone that Ning Rongrong absorbed."

　The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not have any inherited soul bones, but that does not mean that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not have soul bones.

　　For the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the so-called inherited soul bones not only have to be of a type that matches the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but also the age of the soul bones should not be less than ten thousand years.

　　As for the exact number, it is tens of thousands.

　　Take the Haotian Sect as an example.

　　The three inherited soul bones of the Haotian Sect are all over 50,000 years old.

　　The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect cannot compare to the Haotian Sect, but it should not be less than 30,000 years.
