Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 40 Harvest
There is less than a month left until the biennial gathering of the four single-attribute clans.

Star Luo Empire.

Longxing City in the north, Yufeng City in the south, and a village deep in the mountains somewhere in the south.

The three clan leaders, the Yu clan, the Po clan, and the Min clan, led their minority people on the journey to the Tiandou City of the Tiandou Empire.

As for the host, the leader of the Power Clan, Titan, is still in Gengxin City.

The fifth floor of the Blacksmith Guild, foundry room number one.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

There was a cough.

The smoke cleared, revealing three dusty men.

"Damn it, the last one failed. It was just a little bit short!"

"Okay, stop complaining. If I hadn't separated the super-concentrated gunpowder in time, the three of us would have been dead by now."

“It’s a shame, but luckily, we managed to make one.”

As he spoke, Tang San took out something.

It was a golden lotus that looked like a ruby ​​inlaid in it, dazzling and looking like an exquisite handmade work of art.

As soon as this object appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the three people present.

Lou Gao stared at the golden lotus with fascination and said:
"It's hard to believe. If I hadn't witnessed the power of super-concentrated gunpowder with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this tiny lotus could be a unique hidden weapon."

When Tang San heard Lou Gao say this, he replied:
"Elder Lou, don't you know that the more beautiful something is in nature, the more dangerous it is?"

"The Buddha's Wrath Lotus is so beautiful, the murderous intent it hides is certainly extraordinary."

Tang San is in a pretty good mood right now.

Although the second Buddha's Wrath Lotus had a mistake at the last moment of production, resulting in failure.

Make something that should be perfect become unsatisfactory.

But no matter what, the three of them finally succeeded in creating a Buddha's Wrath Lotus.

"Elder Tai Tan, I believe that after seeing the power of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, the other three clans of the four single-attribute clans will not refuse our Tang Sect's recruitment."

As Tang San said this, he saw that Tai Tan's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. He slapped his forehead and said:

"It's terrible. We have spent more than three months here, and now there is less than a month left until the four tribes' gathering."

"Master, and Fatty, stop standing there and pack up quickly. If we hurry up, we may still make it in time."

After saying that, Tai Tan saw that the two had not reacted yet, so he didn't care about anything else, put away the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian, held Tang San with his left arm, swung Lou Gao with his right hand and ran out.

……

"Only level twenty-five?"

Lin Rong sensed that Ma Hongjun's soul power level at this moment did not reach his expected level.

Ma Hongjun's second soul ring was taken from a red sun bird whose cultivation level was over 800 years old. It would at least provide him with soul power of over two levels.

Before absorbing the Phoenix Celosia, Ma Hongjun's soul power was at the peak of level 17, which could be considered level 18.

That means that in addition to the two levels of soul power provided by the soul ring, Phoenix Cockscomb only increased Ma Hongjun's soul power by five levels.

Although in the original book, Ma Hongjun's soul power was increased by five levels after absorbing the Phoenix Celosia.

But that was an upgrade from level 31 to level 36, which was far more than Ma Hongjun's current level 5 soul power in terms of quantity.

Could it be because Ma Hongjun was five years younger when he absorbed Phoenix Cockscomb than in the original novel? Therefore, when absorbing Phoenix Cockscomb, more of its medicinal power was used to improve aptitude rather than to improve soul power level?

"Your Excellency the Duke." Ma Hongjun noticed that Lin Rong's expression was not right, so he asked:
"Is there something wrong with me?"

"Nothing." Lin Rong glanced at Ma Hongjun and solemnly instructed:
"Hongjun, work hard on your training and strive to break through to level 30 as soon as possible. By then, I will have an important task for you."

Ma Hongjun was somewhat confused after hearing this, but he still answered obediently:
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, I will definitely work hard to practice."

He has only just turned eight years old, but he is already a level 25 great soul master.

Therefore, Ma Hongjun was fully confident that he could break through to level 30 by the age of nine, so his tone of answer was full of confidence.

Seeing this, Lin Rong nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Pan and instructed:

"Captain Xu, in the next few days, learn more about military tactics and various basic matters that need to be paid attention to in the army. Do you understand?"

Xu Pan was immersed in the joy of breaking through to the Soul Emperor. His soul power was originally at level 58, and after absorbing the ninth-grade purple ganoderma, it unsurprisingly broke through to level 60.

So, after getting permission, Xu Pan took three teams of guards to the Sunset Forest to obtain his own sixth soul ring and Ma Hongjun's second soul ring.

Suddenly being called by Lin Rong, Xu Pan woke up and hurriedly replied:
"Yes! I understand!"

After answering, Xu Pan began to think about the significance of the Duke asking him to do so.

Art of War, Army.

These two words echoed in Xu Pan's mind. He glanced at Ma Hongjun from the corner of his eye. Faintly, he seemed to have understood something.

"Alright, there's nothing for you to do here, leave!"

Lin Rong waved his hand to dismiss the two people, then sat in the main seat and rubbed his head.

After absorbing the Qiluo Tulip and the Eight-petal Fairy Orchid, the old butler's soul power did not rise to the expected level 90, but to the peak level 89.

Although he had expected it, Lin Rong still felt a little disappointed.

Without the help of the power of the immortal herbs to break through this final blow, it would probably take another half a year to use the remaining medicinal power in the body to break through.

When he thought that he would have to wait another half a year before he could gain the combat power of a Titled Douluo, he couldn't help feeling depressed.

Half a year is enough for him to break through to level 30.

Lin Rong is now seven years and eight months old, and his soul power is level twenty-seven.

He already had all eight meridians open, and after experiencing the cleansing of the marrow and the removal of hair brought about by the breakthrough of the mind-emptiness and body-transformation, his cultivation speed was further improved.

The skill Life Rhythm of the external soul bone Banyan Heart.

While increasing Lin Rong's total soul power by 50%, it also slowed down his cultivation speed.

The increase in cultivation speed brought about by marrow cleansing and hair removal is equivalent to offsetting the slowed down cultivation speed.

Therefore, Lin Rong's current cultivation speed is the extraordinary qualification that a person with all eight meridians open should have.

in the hall.

Except for Lin Rong, there was no one else.

I'm used to having the old butler around, so I feel a little uncomfortable at this moment.

The old butler felt that he had let down the young master because he failed to break through level 90 in one go, so he very rarely put aside the affairs of the Duke's Mansion and began to practice in seclusion.

"Forget it. The superiors always have to get used to being alone."

"It's better to practice. The sooner you break through to level 30, the sooner you can see the complete form of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon."
