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

Chapter 273 Creating an Accident: Tang San Searches for Treasure Alone

Time flies like an arrow; half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

That culinary competition has long since ended, but its impact on society remains fresh and relevant.

Tourism has seen rapid growth in various regions over the past few months.

The food streets and tourist attractions in every city were bustling with people.

People come from all over the world to taste various delicacies and experience local customs and traditions.

Those unique local snacks not only taste amazing, but have also become a local calling card, attracting more and more tourists to visit.

The development of the tourism industry has begun to drive the development of other industries.

Every city is leveraging the tourism industry to enhance its reputation and influence.

The prospects for mainland China have become very bright due to the development of tourism.

All industries have been affected by the tourism industry, presenting a vibrant scene.

People's lives have become more colorful, full of boundless vitality and hope.

All of this gives people the feeling that the future of the mainland will be even brighter and more glorious.

In the past six months, Tang San has finally grown into a level seven formation master.

However, this is only the beginning of level seven.

The formations after level seven are like a whole new world.

This also interrupted Tang San's idea of ​​learning level nine as soon as possible.

According to Tang San's calculations, it would take at least three years to reach level nine.

Three years later, Tang San overestimated himself.

Jerry's learning ability is several times stronger than Tang San's, but he still spent a lot of time on formations.

However, Jerry learned in the small world, which the outside world didn't know, and they thought that Jerry had learned it in just a few years.

Comparatively speaking, Jerry's speed in learning formations is quite fast.

However, there is a prerequisite: first, you must become a Soul Master.

In the small world, array masters were originally born from soul masters.

There is a lot of common knowledge between the two.

The difference lies in the fact that the rule runes used by Soul Masters mostly follow a logic, and their forms are also varied.

The formation masters are the fixed part of this group.

Therefore, Tang San felt that the time was too long and was delaying many things for him.

Tang San decided not to wait any longer; he had not forgotten his original intention to learn formations.

Fortunately, his job as a guard gave him an excuse to take a long vacation.

That day, Tang San was responsible for guarding the alchemy room.

He arrived at the alchemy room early, checked the surroundings to make sure no one else was there, opened a door, and went straight in.

He started the alchemy furnace, threw in a lot of medicinal herbs, and a spherical hidden weapon.

The medicinal herbs were used to conceal the hidden weapon in the middle.

After finishing, he closed the door to the alchemy room and walked out.

Many students arrived one after another; these were all alchemy students.

As soon as they arrived, they found an empty alchemy room and went inside to refine pills.

Besides the one guarded by Tang San, the guards for the other alchemy rooms also arrived one after another.

To prevent disturbances during alchemy, the Spirit Hall Academy assigned a guard to each alchemy room.

With many people present, a loud explosion was heard.

The alchemy room behind Tang San exploded, and Tang San, who was closest to it, was hit directly by the blown-up wall and fell to the ground on the spot.

The explosion was so large that flying debris from the walls also struck some other guards.

Many people were injured instantly.

The college acted swiftly, and the rescue was timely.

Tang San was also taken to the hospital by the rescue team.

As for the cause of the explosion, that's something the college will have to investigate itself.

Moreover, since Tang San was also among the victims, no one suspected him.

Because Tang San was closest, he was also the most seriously injured.

However, all of this was arranged by Tang San; they were all external injuries, which looked serious.

With the advanced medical technology available today, the hospital's healing specialists quickly restored their injuries.

On the surface, he looks no different from a normal person.

To comfort the injured, the college not only provided them with compensation but also gave them a month to rest.

This is the result Tang San wanted. As for work-related injuries, there will be a rest period, the specific length of which will depend on the severity of the injury.

The people investigating this incident contacted Tang San, but Tang San said he didn't know who was in the alchemy room.

The investigation revealed that alchemists would often arrive at the alchemy room early, while the guards would arrive later.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the guards not to know which alchemist is in the alchemy room.

Tang San only asked a few questions and left after not getting any useful information.

Tang San stayed home to recuperate and didn't go anywhere.

Three days later, the academy announced that the investigation into the incident had yielded no results. In order not to delay other alchemists, the matter was temporarily put on hold, but the academy would not give up on investigating the matter.

The academy investigated for several days but found no clues. The alchemy room was completely destroyed, leaving no trace.

Moreover, all the alchemy students were present, and none of them were found to have any problems.

How can we investigate this?

The academy lost an alchemy room, and many guards were injured there, but no one was killed.

It feels like the college ended up losing out. Since they couldn't find out the truth, they had no choice but to swallow this loss.

The academy halted the investigation, a result Tang San had anticipated.

No one died in this incident; only an alchemy room was lost. Moreover, there were no clues, and the academy couldn't find anything, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.

The academy halted the investigation, and Tang San went to the far north the next day.

He came alone without telling anyone, after all, those three places were related to the immortal herb.

Three places that met Tang San's requirements had been found before. The locations were already known, and now they were just waiting for Tang San to go there in person.

Before going, Tang San prepared plenty of food and some auxiliary tools.

Tang San quickly reached the summit of the first mountain.

The mountaintop is a huge pool where snowflakes falling from the sky melt instantly.

The pool was bubbling and the temperature was very high.

The evaporated gas formed a white mist that enveloped the entire mountaintop; no wonder the mist was a bit hot.

It's obvious that there's nothing on the top of this mountain; it's not the mountain Tang San is looking for.

Immediately descend the mountain and head towards the second marked mountain.

The second location disappointed Tang San greatly; similar to the first, it wasn't the place he was looking for.

Next came the third mountain. As soon as Tang San came into contact with the white mist, he knew that this mountain was different.

The white mist over this mountain is cool.

At this moment, Tang San was very excited, as if he had already seen the immortal herb.

Tang San then rushed in.

Having reached the white mist area, Tang San sensed that the terrain here was very special. His mental power was suppressed, and he could only see an area of ​​ten meters around him.

The terrain here is unusual, much like the description of a treasure land.

After more than ten days of wandering, Tang San finally saw the hot spring from the story.

Five medicinal herbs grew around the hot spring, and each one exuded a unique charm in Tang San's eyes.

Tang San walked straight to the front of the hot spring and saw that the water was already clearly divided into two parts, but it was not yet fully formed.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, no, it should be said that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is almost complete.

The energy in the surrounding world was drawn to the nearly formed Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and a large amount of energy formed this white mist.

Besides the white mist, the terrain here is unique, rendering mental probing ineffective, which is why previous visitors lost their way upon arrival.

Besides the five immortal herbs growing near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, there are many other spiritual herbs in the area shrouded in white mist.

The medicinal herbs alone are well over ten years old.

Tang San recognized all five immortal herbs after just one glance.

Blazing Sun Grass, Cold Shade Grass, Heavenly Gang Flower, Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Stamen Flower, Mysterious Dark Dew Fruit.

Taking Blazing Sun Grass and Cold Yin Grass together, along with the regulation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, can completely achieve immunity to both ice and fire.

The Heavenly Gang Flower can enhance Gang Qi, making it even more powerful.

The Lingxi Yurui flower can transform a person, cleanse them of worldly impurities, and enhance their physical strength.

The Xuanming Sweet Dew Fruit can enhance spiritual power and strengthen the soul; even if the physical body dies, the spirit remains.

To say that the immortal herb would be distributed to the five divine messengers now is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Five immortal herbs could enhance Tang San in every way.

The other divine messengers have already become gods; giving them these immortal herbs would only enhance their special attributes.

Tang San decided to consume it all himself, without ever considering sharing it with the other divine messengers.

Tang San did not rush to take the medicine, but instead took out some medicinal herb seeds and planted them nearby.

Only after planting were the five immortal herbs taken.

As for using immortal herbs to refine pills, forget it. Not only do I lack experience, but if the refining fails, the immortal herbs will be wasted.

It's safest to take it directly.

A month later, under the accelerated refining effect of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang San consumed five immortal herbs.

At this moment, he felt that his strength had almost doubled compared to before.

The Heavenly Gang Grass imbued his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, with Heavenly Gang Qi, making it more powerful and destructive.

A casual slam into the ground creates a huge crater.

His physical strength has also been greatly improved. If nothing unexpected happens, he can upgrade the age of his spirit rings when he returns to Wuhun City.

The medicinal herbs that Tang San planted have already sprouted new shoots and will be ready to mature soon.

Afterwards, Tang San gathered many spiritual herbs and prepared to return to Wuhun City.

Before leaving, I glanced at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. If only I could learn how to use teleportation arrays, I could come here anytime.

Upon returning to Wuhun City, Tang San went to report for duty. After all, he had only been given a month's rest period, and now that the time was up, it was time to go to work.

He works during the day and starts refining pills with spiritual herbs at night.

Sure enough, spiritual herbs are different. The effect of refining pills from herbs that are well over ten years old is hundreds of times better than those refined from herbs that are ten years old.

The best healing pills can instantly restore all injuries of a Title Douluo, but the effect will be slightly less for a God-level expert.

The recovery pill is also extremely effective, restoring all soul power within thirty seconds.

Even though Tang San has become a god now, the recovery pill is still useful.

There are other elixirs, whose effects far surpass those of commercially available elixirs.

Tang San couldn't help but think, "My deduction was indeed correct. There really are treasure lands in this world, and herbs can even exceed the ten-year limit."

Tang San now recalls that when he fought Jerry for a long time and his soul power was severely depleted, he simply took out a healing pill and a recovery pill and immediately recovered to full health.

Tang San felt he now understood Jerry's methods very well.

Jerry, aren't you a Soul Guidance Device?

Learn about magnetic arrays.

The magnetic array is a type of seventh-level array. Tang San specifically learned this array and inscribed more than a dozen array plates, which he kept in his ring.

Tang San felt that victory was within his grasp.

Let's talk about Yu Xiaogang. He finally managed to memorize all sorts of materials.

When I was preparing to learn something else, I came across some new material.

The document states that in order to learn how to make soul tools more quickly, we should not think about developing them ourselves first, but practice using the already mature soul tool blueprints.

Only when the Soul Master's level is high will they start thinking about independently developing new types of Soul Tools.

To learn how to use a soul tool, you only need to memorize the material knowledge required for that soul tool; you don't need to read everything.

Once your Soul Master level increases, you'll have already learned a lot about materials. At that point, you'll only need to memorize some materials that you don't yet recognize.

……

After reading this document, Yu Xiaogang almost vomited blood.

After finally memorizing all the material, I realized that it wasn't necessary; learning and memorizing at the same time is much easier.

Who said that to become a Soul Master, one must first understand the knowledge of materials?

Suddenly it occurred to me that learning about materials first was something Tang San had told me before.

Tang San has ruined me!

This cannot be blamed on Tang San. Tang San was only explaining his own understanding at the time, which made it seem that Soul Masters were more difficult to learn. There was a reason why he did not learn it.

What is Tang San's identity?

He works as a part-time blacksmith.

His understanding is correct.

Once you've memorized all the materials, you can develop new level one soul tools after learning how to make them.

With so much material stored in my mind, I can combine it freely without having to wait until my Soul Master profession reaches an advanced level to develop a Soul Tool.

While others develop new types of soul tools many years later, you can develop them as soon as you learn how to use a level one soul tool.

This speed is many years ahead of others!

So is there something wrong with this understanding?

Absolutely no problem.

Just like someone who becomes a security guard at the age of twenty, they avoid taking forty years of detours compared to others.

Despite his anger, Yu Xiaogang still needs to continue learning.

The rule runes are simply copied and pasted; this part can be skipped.

The design and construction blueprints for the soul tool will continue to be copied verbatim, so we will skip them.

Now you can learn to inscribe rule runes and create soul tools.

Instantly, Yu Xiaogang felt that his learning progress had improved significantly.

However, Yu Xiaogang had learned from his experience this time. Instead of rushing to make a soul tool, he continued to browse other related information about soul masters.

We've finally discovered a new area.

Soul guide devices are produced on an assembly line.

As the demand for soul tools increased, the number of soul tool masters became significantly insufficient. In order to solve the problem of soul tools, the Spirit Hall introduced an assembly line production model.

The design and blueprints for soul tools are studied by specialists.

The research findings are handed over to the manufacturing department, which then focuses all its efforts on production.

Afterwards, the completed soul tool's appearance was handed over to the sculpting department, who were responsible for sculpting it.

Finally, inspectors are responsible for testing each soul tool, and only those that pass the inspection are packaged and sold.

Because of this assembly line, the Soul Masters had a division of labor.

Soul guide design, shape creation, and rune inscription.

The Soul Masters were divided into three categories.

Besides the fact that the Soul Masters within the Spirit Hall have this division of labor, Soul Masters outside the Hall have also begun to follow suit.

Now open the online store, click on the Soul Guide item category, and you'll find stores that specialize in selling design blueprints, stores that specialize in selling pre-made shapes, and stores that take orders and inscribe runes.

Each Soul Master has different ideas, so the blueprints and Soul Tools without runes are all kinds of strange and varied.

Whether the design requirements can be met ultimately depends on the part of inscribing the runes.

Yu Xiaogang selected his favorite soul tool appearance and placed an order for more than a dozen level-one soul tools without any runes engraved on them.

Yu Xiaogang observed that the main focus was on inscribing the runes and shaping the appearance. He would leave that to Tang San, who came from a family of blacksmiths and was quite skilled at it.

The soul tool, without any runes inscribed on it, was quickly teleported over.

Filled with excitement, Yu Xiaogang began to depict the scene.
