Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 36 The Possibility of Increasing the Age of Soul Rings

"You just heard me talk about the effects of rooted runes. What if we fix the runes to something? I suspect that the various functions of soul tools are produced after the runes are fixed to them," Fang Tian explained.

"Then we can produce our own soul tools and sell them, right? We can produce more storage soul tools, and we won't have to worry about money anymore," Qiu Fengyan said with shining eyes.

"Uh! Theoretically, that's correct, but first we need to know the spatial runes we're using; second, we need a certain special metal; and third, we need the ability to forge this metal into runes." Fang Tian listed the difficulties one by one for Qiu Fengyan.

"These three things are not easy to come by, and they might take up a lot of our time. I'm studying the essence of soul skills in order to use them to increase the age of soul rings," Fang Tian continued to explain to Qiu Fengyan.

"Increase the age of the spirit rings! Is it really possible?" Qiu Fengyan's eyes shone even brighter than before.

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I will continue my research. The essence of soul skills has been figured out, and the method to increase the age of soul rings won't be far off," Fang Tian said confidently.

"Okay, I believe you." Qiu Fengyan said, expressing her belief in Fang Tian, ​​but the excitement on her face gradually subsided. After all, that was all in the future; for now, everything should remain as it was.

"Hehe!" Seeing Qiu Fengyan's disappointed face, Fang Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You still dare to laugh? Don't you know that giving people hope and then disappointing them is incredibly annoying?" Qiu Fengyan was furious when she saw Fang Tian laughing at her.

"I wasn't laughing at you. I was just thinking about something happy. But don't worry, I estimate I'll figure out the principle behind the Soul Ring's age limit within six months. Even if I can't increase the Soul Ring's age limit, I'll find a substitute," Fang Tian quickly explained.

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, but if you dare laugh at me again, you'll be sorry!" Seeing that Fang Tian was in a good mood today, Qiu Fengyan let the matter drop.

The main reason was that during the last Soul Hunt, Fang Tian gave her the external soul bone of the Swifttail. Qiu Fengyan was quite moved and decided to treat Fang Tian better in the future.

"Alright, since your research can't improve your strength for now, I'll go back to cultivate. Remember to balance work and rest while you're doing your research, don't make me worry." Qiu Fengyan waved her hand, left after saying a few words.

After his initial excitement, Fang Tian has calmed down and resumed his research.

Through the experiment just now, Fang Tian understood that soul power exists as energy in the operation of soul skills. It may have some nourishing effect on runes, but it has little effect on the formation of runes.

The runes are likely formed during the formation of the soul ring by the laws of heaven and earth transforming the essence of the soul beast's flesh and blood into law patterns related to the soul beast's soul skills and engraving them on the soul ring. Perhaps the soul beast's spirit is also incorporated into the law patterns, but this cannot be confirmed at the moment.

The essence of a soul beast's flesh and blood varies in quality depending on its age, which in turn affects the quality of the runes. The quality of the runes also affects the power of the soul skills, ultimately resulting in different ages of the soul rings.

The amount of soul power in each soul ring is not determined by the amount of soul power remaining when the soul beast dies, but by the quality of the runes.

As long as the runes are of high quality, even if the soul rings formed at that time have very little soul power, the laws of heaven and earth will replenish them.

The outer shell enveloping the soul power in each soul ring must have been automatically formed at a certain point of the rune. Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect's ring-exploding secret technique would be ruined after one use and would not be able to recover, because the outer shell would definitely shatter each time the rings were exploded.

Therefore, as long as the quality of the runes is improved, the lifespan of the soul rings will naturally increase.

The current challenge is how to improve the quality of the runes?

Runes are imprinted with the essence of a soul beast's flesh and blood. I wonder if it would work if a soul master's blood essence were used to imprint the runes.

Judging from the successful drawing of the runes just now, it should be about 80-90% possible, but the real challenge is how to imprint the runes onto the soul ring.

Fang Tian scratched his head, looking quite troubled by the situation.

"Hey! Why do I have to imprint the runes on the soul ring? I can just imprint them on the martial soul! That way, there's one less step in the soul power circulation, which will save even more time!" Fang Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, we must be careful! After all, there has never been such an incident before," Fang Tian warned himself.

The position of each spirit ring on a spirit is fixed, which means the interface between the rune and the spirit is also fixed. If the interface is damaged, the spirit ring may not be able to attach to the spirit. The spirit master will also lose a spirit ring and drop in level.

Fang Tian decided to first use his blood energy to draw runes next to the interface to test the effect. If successful, he would then proceed with the actual burning.

Fang Tian carefully controlled his blood energy and began drawing runes on his martial soul. Since a martial soul is formed from the combination of a soul master's bloodline and spirit, drawing runes on it is relatively easy.

In less than ten minutes, Fang Tian finished drawing the talisman and carefully connected the head and tail of the talisman to the entrance and exit of the first spirit ring of his martial soul.

At this moment, the color of the runes was directly black, which Fang Tian estimated was related to the fact that his physique and spirit were comparable to those of a Soul Emperor.

Moreover, since mastering the God-Slaying Flying Knife, the purple energy accumulated in his sea of ​​consciousness has been rapidly digested. In such a short time, Fang Tian's spirit has nearly doubled. It is estimated that once fully digested, Fang Tian's spirit will at least reach the level of a Title Douluo.

Although it's unknown whether the quality of the runes is related to the spirit, Fang Tian's spirit meets the standard for black runes.

Once Fang Tian finished drawing the talisman, he decided to try it out.

Carefully controlling the flow of soul power through the black runes, the soul power was quickly transformed into the "Rooting" soul skill and released.

Fang Tian felt the life force that had been flowing gently before now surge like a huge wave.

"Holy crap!" Fang Tian couldn't react in time and was immediately overwhelmed by a surge of life force, collapsing to the ground. "I was careless; I input too much soul power."

A moment later, Fang Tian struggled to his feet, released his martial spirit, and saw that the runes were intact and his martial spirit was also perfectly fine. The experiment was a success.

Now Fang Tian can confidently and boldly inscribe runes on his martial soul.

Fang Tian decided to first inscribe a rune on the left side of the interface of the first spirit ring of his martial soul. If he found a suitable rune later, he could inscribe it on the right side. In that case, one spirit ring would be equivalent to two spirit skills.

Fang Tian released his martial spirit, summoned his God-Slaying Flying Knife, and began carefully inscribing runes on it.

"Hiss!" As the first blade fell, Fang Tian gasped. It hurt terribly; both his mind and body felt intense pain.

As the second cut was made, the engraving from the first cut slowly disappeared.

What's going on? Is it that it can't be burned in, or does the engraving need something else to fill in, otherwise it will slowly repair itself?

"What should we do?" Fang Tian scratched his head.
