Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 144 The Scrambled Soul Power Pill Released

As the hundred Soul Masters above broke through to the next level, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall began to discuss the matter.

Soon the discussion began to stray from the topic, and went further and further away.

At this moment, Jerry quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. What I'm trying to say is that this Soul Power Pill is only for enhancing cultivation. The effect might be better the first time it's used, which is why these people were able to break through. But essentially, it's just for cultivation. The group of people arranged by the Grand Elder were all on the verge of breaking through, and it was just a coincidence that they broke through after taking the pill!"

"Lord Jerry, this coincidence is quite significant. You said the first time you take it, the effect is better. So, if you encounter a bottleneck, is it possible to break through by taking the pill again?"

"It seems possible now. In my previous experiments, to maximize the drug's effectiveness, I only sought out Soul Masters who had just broken through and absorbed their Soul Rings. This way, there wouldn't be any limitations imposed by the Soul Rings when taking the Soul Power Pill, and we could see its true effects!"

"These pills, made from 9,000-year-old medicinal herbs, can allow a Soul Emperor to break through one or two levels. Some people with powerful Martial Souls need more Soul Power to break through one level, while those with weaker Martial Souls can break through two levels. This directly saves one or two years of time!"

"My original goal was to accelerate the cultivation process, but I didn't expect to be able to break through. But don't worry, I will research pills specifically for breaking through, so you don't need to wait until you hit a bottleneck to take pills."

The Grand Elder almost messed things up. If everyone thinks this is a pill for breaking through, and only takes it when they encounter a bottleneck, how can we improve everyone's cultivation speed?

"Lord Jerry, how long will it take to research a breakthrough pill? If it takes several years, then it's better to wait until you reach your bottleneck before taking it!"

"Yes! I feel it's a bit of a waste to take it before encountering a bottleneck. When there's no bottleneck, you can just work harder at cultivation."

"yes!"

Jerry was completely exasperated, his reproachful gaze fixed on the Elder, as if to say, "You caused this mess, come out and sort it out!"

When the elder saw Jerry looking over, he immediately turned his head away and refused to look at him.

"Distinguished members, listen to me. Imagine how long it would take for a Soul Emperor of average talent, with the aid of a training ground, to advance from level 60 to level 69. Three years? Five years? Eight years?"

"If I start taking pills at level 60, one, two, or three at a time, how much will my cultivation time be shortened? Even though the first time is the most effective, I can take more later; it's not like I can only take them once!"

"The time saved can be used for cultivation or other things! What if I'm lucky and break through on my own?"

"Even if there really is a bottleneck, like being stuck at level 69, I can still cultivate in the gravity field and also cultivate my mental power. Once I research and develop the breakthrough pill, I can break through directly, so in the end, it won't waste any time!"

A perfectly good Soul Power Pill is now being used as a Breakthrough Pill. I haven't even started researching Breakthrough Pills yet, and it's uncertain when that will happen. If things continue like this, how can we quickly improve everyone's strength?

That elder is really stirring up trouble for no reason, always causing chaos!

If he couldn't change the minds of these higher-ups, they would only use it as a breakthrough pill, which put Jerry in a difficult position! However, Jerry had already said everything he could; whether they listened or not was up to them.

"Lord Jerry, when can we exchange for the pills? Several elders in our family have been stuck at one cultivation level for too long. They thought their lives would end like this forever, but now that we have the pills, it's like a ray of hope for everyone!"

"Yes, some elders in my family also need it!"

"Who doesn't have a few elders in their clan?"

……

Listening to what these high-level executives were saying, Jerry suddenly felt a pang of sadness!

It's like painstakingly researching and developing something, only to have everyone overlook its original purpose and use it for other things! For researchers, it's disheartening when their research results don't fulfill their intended purpose!

"Are you only focused on this Soul Power Pill? I wonder if you've paid attention to the Fox Blood Pill and Martial Soul evolution!"

"Yes! It's a martial soul evolution!"

"It's a pity my family's martial soul isn't a fox!"

"If Lord Jerry can research Fox Blood Pills, does that mean he can research Ape Blood Pills in the future? My family's martial spirit is the ape!"

"Yes, ox blood pills would also work; my family needs them!"

"Leopard Blood Pills will also work. There are so many leopard-type martial souls; there's definitely a market for them!"

……

What was supposed to be a proper high-level meeting, where Jerry simply wanted to promote his elixir and encourage them to work hard to collect herbs for him, has now turned into a chaotic mess, like a vegetable market.

While everyone was still discussing it, Elder Golden Crocodile ran directly behind Jerry and started massaging Jerry's shoulders.

Elder Golden Crocodile's move startled Jerry.

"Jerry, could you perhaps find some time to research Crocodile Blood Pills? I've been scouring forests lately and brought back quite a few crocodile spirit beasts, but their growth seems a bit slow. You see, the other elders are doing alright; they can find spirit beasts with the same spirit as their own. But I'm in a terrible situation; the Golden Crocodile has long been extinct! So, could you perhaps cultivate some more powerful crocodile spirit beasts first?"

"Damn it, Golden Crocodile, you old bastard!"

"Lord Jerry, could you please consider breeding the Ghost Leopard? Ghost Leopards are so rare now, they're almost extinct!"

"The Demon Bear Soul Beast is almost extinct, so I need to cultivate it first."

……

"Whether you're dealing with animals or plants, you still have physical objects. Have you ever considered the feelings of us weapon spirit masters? I just want to ask, can the weapons you forge be used for alchemy?"

"Get out of here!"

The voice of this weapon spirit master was quickly drowned out by the others.

"Quiet down, everyone, and get back to your seats. What kind of mess is this? This is a top-level meeting, and you've turned it into a marketplace. What kind of order is this?!" With the Elder's words, everyone silently returned to their seats and stopped talking.

"Jerry can decide what he wants to research himself, so don't bother him anymore!"

"As for the Soul Power Pills, they'll be available tomorrow. After the meeting, everyone go and prepare the herbs!"

"Jerry said that both alchemy and soul tool making require mental strength. The visualization method has been publicized for so long, yet there are still less than three hundred soul masters with qualified mental strength. Have you all been diligently cultivating? Each family needs to be assigned to cultivate not only soul power but also mental strength. Otherwise, relying solely on Jerry, we don't know when we'll be able to meet the demand of Spirit City!"

That's all for now, meeting adjourned!

After the elder finished speaking, he left.

Jerry then teleported away, leaving behind a group of high-ranking officials who were discussing the matter amongst themselves!

After leaving 15,000 pills for the Grand Elder, and some pills for Chrysanthemum Douluo and his senior and junior sisters, Jerry went directly to the Soul Beast Forest.

The little white fox felt like it hadn't seen Jerry in a long time. As soon as it saw Jerry appear, it jumped onto him. Jerry hugged the little white fox back and petted it a few times like a cat. It felt so good!

These past few days, several four-tailed foxes have appeared outside, which is really nice.

That six-tailed fox hasn't changed much. It seems that once its bloodline is raised to a certain level, it becomes very difficult to raise it further.

But this time, with the Soul Power Pill, the little foxes are in luck!
