The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 47 Plant Knowledge, Prince Xue Qinghe

Two days later.

Since joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by registering his enrollment, Xia Liang has received the same treatment as other students, and can use any of the places provided by the academy, including the Heaven Dou Library, which houses all the knowledge of the Heaven Dou Empire.

These days, apart from using medicinal bath whale glue and other resources to aid his cultivation, Xia Liang spends almost all his remaining time in the Heavenly Dou Library.

His culinary work has begun to be handed over, and many dishes that are popular with the college's teachers and students are being given to the head chef in the form of recipes, who will then pass them on to other chefs.

This way, if someone leaves to gain experience elsewhere, the academy's kitchen won't lose these dishes, preventing a significant drop in revenue.

The recipe wasn't some kind of secret martial arts technique, so passing it on to others wouldn't be a big deal; it was just a way of returning the favors the head chef had shown over the past two years.

After receiving permission from the head chef, Xia Liang left the kitchen early in the morning and went to the Tian Dou Library, which was a very large space with three floors.

The first layer contains books related to soul beasts.

The books on the second floor are related to Soul Masters.

The third layer is a summary of the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

Over the past few days, Xia Liang has been reading a lot of information in the plant and spirit beast category area on the first floor of the Tian Dou Library, and has already accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge about plant and spirit beasts.

At the same time, he also gained a lot of knowledge about plant martial spirits in the plant martial spirit classification area on the second floor of the Tiandou Library.

In the original novel, Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul is a celestial plant called the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Although the Heavenly Dou Library does not contain records of immortal herbs, it does contain information on top-tier plant martial souls such as the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Therefore, understanding top-tier plant martial spirits can indirectly teach you some knowledge about immortal herbs. At least seeing illustrations of immortal herb martial spirits will greatly help in identifying immortal herbs.

So far, Xia Liang has discovered that besides Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, there are other Soul Masters in the distant past who have awakened Immortal Herb Martial Souls.

A book about plant-based martial spirits records that two hundred years ago, the Heaven Dou Empire had a level 96 titled Douluo named "Earth Dragon," whose martial spirit was the top-tier earth-attribute plant martial spirit, Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

According to the original description, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a celestial plant containing the bloodline of an earth dragon, clearly belonging to the category of celestial herbs.

After the Earth Dragon Douluo died in battle, he was awarded the highest honor for a Soul Master due to his outstanding achievements and strength of level 96, and was able to be buried in the sacred Douluo Hall.

In addition, three hundred years ago, there was a level 98 Title Douluo with the title "Blood Dragon". It is said that this powerful being's plant martial soul surpassed the top-level super martial soul Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Because this Title Douluo was a retainer of the Spirit Hall, detailed information about him is only available through the Spirit Hall.

However, since the book contains illustrations of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng Martial Soul, then this is what the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng plant should look like.

In the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, there was also a Douluo named Moyu, whose martial soul was called Moyu Divine Bamboo. It was a top-tier offensive plant martial soul and should also be a kind of immortal herb.

Even the Azure Vine Martial Soul of Zhilin Education Committee, one of the three major education committees, once gave birth to an Azure Douluo. Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, this titled Douluo was killed by the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python due to his own greed.

The fact that one can cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo indicates that, in the plant world, the Azure Vine, even if not a celestial grade, must be a rare and precious treasure.

On the third day of browsing the books categorized as Plant Soul Beasts and Plant Martial Souls, Xia Liang discovered that Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team was also browsing books related to plants.

The two were not familiar with each other, but they had met a few times because of Dugu Yan's superior fighting spirit. After learning that Xia Liang had nominally become a student of the academy, Ye Lingling said indifferently, "Welcome to the academy," and then said nothing more.

Xia Liang didn't disturb him too much. After learning the plant knowledge he needed, he went to the area of ​​Soul Master books to start learning the skills and knowledge related to ring fusion.

Two more days passed.

Xia Liang, who was practicing his ring-fusion technique on the back hill of the academy, was suddenly summoned to the dean's building by Qin Ming.

The three education committee members and Prince Xue Xing had already agreed to let him join the academy by registering his enrollment. The person who summoned him this time was said to be the dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who was also the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye.

However, Emperor Xueye was busy with state affairs, and the dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had always been the Crown Prince.

The current crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe.

When assisting with government affairs in the palace, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's duties as acting dean were delegated to the three education committee members. Only after finishing his government affairs would he take the time to go to the academy to approve various positions. Only for major matters would he step forward to make decisions on behalf of the emperor and Prince Xue Xing.

The reason Xia Liang was summoned this time was because the matter of enrolling in the academy was unprecedented, and there was no precedent for a commoner to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which alarmed the royal family.

Dean's Building, Office.

The three education committee members, along with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing, were having a meeting to discuss how the academy should nurture such an extraordinary genius as Chef Xia from the academy's kitchen, who at the age of thirteen was able to cultivate into a quasi-Soul Master with innate level five soul power.

"Three education commissioners, Mr. Xia and I have arrived. May we go in now?"

Hearing Qin Ming's voice from outside the office, Meng Shenji immediately got up and opened the door. "Teacher Qin, you've come at the perfect time. Please come in."

Qin Ming paid his respects to Meng Shenji, then entered the office and bowed respectfully to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Prince Xue Xing, and the other two education commissioners. Xia Liang, who was following behind him, also followed Qin Ming's example and did the same.

After closing the door, the office was filled with murmurs again.

"Master Xia, this is His Highness the Crown Prince. The three of us old men and Prince Xuexing are already aware of your situation. The Crown Prince summoned you here on his behalf," Meng Shenji, the Education Commissioner, said, looking at Xue Qinghe beside him.

Xia Liang stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Xue Qinghe opposite him, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Xia, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat. Let's get down to business. I already know some things about you. The three education committee members and the Imperial Uncle have agreed to let you join the academy through a nominal enrollment system, which I fully agree with."

Xue Qinghe glanced at the three education committee members and Prince Xue Xing, then said, "After discussion, we have decided that we will not force you to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament three years from now. After all, your growth rate is too astonishing, and if your performance in the Elite Tournament is too outstanding, it will inevitably attract the attention of other sects and forces."

"While our Heavenly Dou Empire is confident in its ability to contend with various forces, we understand the principle that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. To provide you with a safer environment for growth, we need to keep you hidden. That's why the academy agreed to your request to refuse to participate in the Elite Tournament. We don't want you to be imprisoned for the sake of the academy's honor."

"Master Xia, I hope you can remain unaffected by external factors and, with this extraordinary cultivation speed, quickly become a powerful figure and a pillar of the empire."

Xia Liang, who had just sat down, was surprised after hearing this story. This Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was quite sensible.
