Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Since Qi Dao and Dugu Yan rose to prominence, various factions have basically studied the two of them.

The Qi Dao, in particular, is a primary object of study.

All factions are studying how he managed to overpower all the young geniuses of his generation with only a half-level innate soul power.

But when they studied Qi Dao's past, they found that his rise to power was completely illogical and unreasonable.

At first, Qi Dao only had half-level innate soul power, but his cultivation speed was extremely fast. In just three years, he reached level ten and absorbed his first soul ring.

Before Qi Dao, no Soul Master at the half-level of the Innate Realm had ever been able to break through to level 10 in three years.

Of course, this cultivation speed was outrageous for a half-level innate soul master, but it was still within the acceptable range for the major powers until he was fifteen years old.

At least in each academy and sect, there are two or three geniuses whose cultivation speed is no less than his.

What truly moved all sides at that time was his formidable combat strength.

With his self-created soul skill, he can always overcome a major realm to defeat his opponent.

However, things started to go wrong when Qi Dao turned fifteen.

First and foremost, his cultivation speed became unbelievable.

In just four years, he went from being a beginner at level 30 to nearly level 60.

This breakthrough speed is simply astonishing.

Of course, the news of Qi Dao breaking through to level 60 has not yet spread, otherwise the major forces would probably be in complete chaos.

The reason why Qi Dao's cultivation speed increased so dramatically is inseparable from Dugu Bo's medicinal herbs.

As is widely known, Dugu Yan's cultivation speed only began to advance rapidly after consuming a certain herb.

Even major powers have tried to obtain medicinal herbs from Dugu Bo, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

But there was clearly no room for negotiation; the answer was no.

If Dugu Bo doesn't want to trade, can the major powers really force him to do so?

He has an eccentric personality and is vindictive; who would dare to try and rob him?

This is also why Ning Rongrong couldn't help but get excited after hearing Dugu Yan's words.

Immortal Herb, this must be the herb that helped Qi Dao, Dugu Yan, and even Ye Lingling undergo a complete transformation, right?

Being called a "miracle herb" clearly indicates that it is no ordinary medicinal herb.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School also has a collection of various top-grade medicinal herbs, but they have never heard of any herb that can help people undergo a complete transformation.

Qi Dao thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but the most suitable immortal herb for Ning Rongrong has already been eaten by my mother. Among the remaining immortal herbs, there are some that she can consume, but I'm not sure how effective they will be."

In the original story, Ning Rongrong consumed the Qiluo Tulip Fairy Product.

After consuming the Qiluo Tulip, one can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the radiance of the sun and moon, and it can complement the effects of treasure-type martial souls.

This is also why Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Among the remaining immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the first one that Qi Dao thought of was undoubtedly the Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

The Star Luo Spirit Pearl is the gentlest of all immortal herbs, making it extremely suitable for assisting Soul Masters. Furthermore, after consuming the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, one can absorb the essence of stars and moon to enhance oneself, which is similar to the Qi Luo Tulip.

In addition, although the Star Luo Spirit Pearl cannot directly increase soul power, it can be fused with humans and become the soul core of human soul masters in the future.

The only thing that Qi Dao was uncertain about was whether Ning Rongrong's martial soul could still evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from the original story if she took the Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong: "Rongrong, you heard what Adao said, what do you think?"

Ning Rongrong quickly said, "Sister Yanzi, I'm already very content as long as I have the immortal herb, regardless of whether it's suitable or not."

She really wants to improve!

Especially after witnessing the evolution of Dugu Yan's martial soul, Ning Rongrong also fantasized that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could evolve.

Although Father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone all felt that they had a chance to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it was only a chance.

After all, no one in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has ever evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and no one knows how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should evolve.

Whether they evolve on their own through cultivation or whether some prerequisites need to be met, they have no idea.

But if there were any magical herbs, maybe my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could really evolve into an Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Seeing this, Dugu Yan smiled and said, "That's good. When we return to Tiandou City, I'll have Adao deliver the immortal herb to you."

Ning Rongrong, her face beaming with excitement and joy, smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Sister Yanzi!"

Dugu Yan smiled and nodded, "Since you're helping Adao, I naturally can't just do nothing."

After listening, Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "Sister Yanzi, you and Qi Dao have such a good relationship."

Dugu Yan and Qi Dao exchanged a smile.

...

With Qi Dao consuming the ores that Ning Rongrong had identified, his trip to Gengxin City came to an end.

However, having taken such a long trip, neither Dugu Yan nor Ning Rongrong were in a hurry to return to Tiandou City, and they stayed in Gengxin City for a few more days.

During this time, Qi Dao led a few people to the Blacksmith Association again.

There, Qi Dao and his companions also witnessed Lou Gao's creation of two sets of Yin-Yang Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor after ten years of research.

Several years later, these two sets of Eight Treasures Auspicious Armor were auctioned at the Blacksmith Association with a starting price of 200,000 gold soul coins per piece. They were then bought by Miles through malicious bidding for one million gold soul coins.

Of course, Miles never intended to pay. His intention was to prevent others from bidding against him so that he could bring masked members of the Spirit Hall to forcibly seize the item after the auction.

Although no auction was held this time, Ning Rongrong was still very wealthy and bought it directly for one million gold soul coins.

Lou Gao and the others then understood what it meant to have mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace.

However, Ning Rongrong did indeed like these two sets of soft armor.

The Eight Treasures Auspicious Armor can block the attack of a Soul Emperor's sixth Soul Skill, making it a very good treasure for a support Soul Master like her.

As for the Yang Armor in the Yin-Yang Armor set, she planned to give it to Ning Fengzhi. If Ning Fengzhi didn't wear it, one of her brothers would surely be able to use it.

A few days later, on the fifth day after Qi Dao and his companions arrived in Gengxin City, they returned to Tiandou City, escorted by Lou Gao and others.

Upon returning to Tiandou City, the first news Qi Dao and his companions heard was that Emperor Xue Ye was critically ill.

After returning to Tiandou City, Ning Rongrong went back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Qi Dao told her that he would send the immortal herb to her in a few days.

Dugu Yan also returned to Tiandou Academy.

Qi Dao and Li Luo went directly to the Crown Prince's residence.

Upon arriving at the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Adao, you've returned just in time. Given Emperor Xueye's current condition, he can only hold on for three more days at most."

"Three days from now will be the day he passes away!"
