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

After Qi Dao condensed his soul core, he and Qian Daoliu left the core area of ​​the far north.

However, Qi Dao did not intend to return to Tian Dou City immediately, but instead stayed in a city called Dragon City in the northern part of the Tian Dou Empire.

As a city located near the far north, it was far less prosperous and bustling than the cities in the central part of the empire, but ten thousand years later, it became the northern fortress of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Qi Dao came here mainly for the secret realm in Dragon City that contains the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal.

However, Qi Dao did not know the exact location of that secret realm, only that it was beneath a cold spring.

In order to find the secret realm, Qi Dao could only stay in Dragon City for a period of time.

As long as the secret realm is within Dragon City, he can find it with a little effort.

Whether it's the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow or the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal, Qi Dao is determined to obtain them.

After learning that Qi Dao would be staying in Dragon City for a while, Qian Daoliu gave Qi Dao a few instructions and then returned to the Spirit Hall alone.

With Qi Dao's strength, there's absolutely no need for him to worry.

He has almost completely grasped the principles of the Soul Core and is now preparing to go back and condense his Soul Core.

In addition to condensing a single soul core, Qi Dao also told him the principles of condensing dual soul cores, which he knew.

There are two main methods for condensing dual soul cores.

The first is naturally the Yin-Yang complementary soul core that Qi Dao wants to condense, so that the second soul core operates in a completely opposite way to the first soul core, including the direction of rotation.

By establishing this balance of "opposites," a stronger power is generated, but the risk factor for condensing this soul core is extremely high.

Another natural method is the method of isotopic resonance, which allows the second soul core to operate in accordance with the laws of the first soul core, find its frequency, and complete "isotopic resonance".

This method has relatively low risk; most of the Limit Douluo in Douluo Continent II used the same-position resonance method to condense dual soul cores.

The ability to condense dual soul cores is often a hallmark of a Limit Douluo in the second stage of the game.

However, Qian Daoliu reached level 99 in Douyi without condensing a soul core. With his abilities, as long as he understands the principle, condensing two soul cores is not a problem.

After Qian Daoliu left, Qi Dao began a thorough search of Dragon City.

...

Meanwhile, in Tiandou City.

Qian Renxue completely reclaimed the rights of the Duchy of Heston, and on charges of contempt for imperial authority, usurpation, and concealment of actual tax revenue, demoted the Grand Duke of Heston to a Marquis, and ordered him to make up for the taxes he had failed to pay for nearly fifty years.

Can't it be completed?

Then confiscate their property!

Even after the confiscation of his property, the former Duke of Hayston still failed to pay the outstanding taxes.

However, it still allowed the Tian Dou national treasury to be completely emptied in one go.

After becoming wealthy, Qian Renxue implemented various reforms.

Reforming officialdom, reducing taxes and levies, and cracking down on crime, among other things.

You can say she's bad at practical combat, but you can't say she's bad at governing a country.

Having served as crown prince for over a decade and overseen the country's affairs more than once, she made significant contributions to the governance of the nation.

Moreover, she has her own team that immediately executes her orders after she gives them.

For a time, the entire Heaven Dou Empire was thriving, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who had basically confirmed that "Xue Qinghe" was an undercover agent, speechless.

Why are you, an undercover agent, actually doing this for real?!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi stood at the window, gazing into the distance.

Behind him, Sword Douluo said in a deep voice, "Feng Zhi, are you still thinking about Xue Qinghe?"

"Now that we've confirmed his identity, why don't we just confront him directly?"

"Given your relationship with him, even if you confront him, it probably won't escalate to the point of becoming bitter enemies."

Although it has been basically confirmed that "Xue Qinghe" is an undercover agent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not taken any other action.

Even Yu Yuanzhen personally visited him, wanting to invite him to abolish the throne of "Xue Qinghe" and promote Kundera, the king of the Barak Kingdom, to succeed him.

Kundera was the cousin of the Snowy Night Emperor. To prevent his lineage from rebelling under the guise of royalty, his surname was removed after he was made king.

After listening to Yu Yuanzhen's suggestion, Ning Fengzhi naturally chose to refuse without hesitation.

There's no other reason than that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Xue Qinghe are too deeply entangled; he is, in fact, Xue Qinghe's nominal teacher.

With this relationship in place, it doesn't matter which side Xue Qinghe is on, it won't have much of an impact on him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't think Xue Qinghe harbored any ill will towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Otherwise, Qi Dao wouldn't have helped Ning Rongrong awaken the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

As Xue Qinghe's most important confidant, Ning Fengzhi did not believe that Qi Dao was unaware of Xue Qinghe's identity.

This was actually foreshadowed earlier. For example, during the Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall specially offered a 70,000-year-old Divine Sword Shadowless Right Arm Bone as the champion's reward.

At first, he thought the Spirit Hall wanted to use the soul bone to win over Qi Dao.

It now appears that this soul bone was originally intended for internal use by the Spirit Hall and was specifically prepared for Qi Dao.

As for why Bibi Dong would still recruit Qi Dao in full view of everyone in the end?

At first, Ning Fengzhi didn't understand. He thought it was just a smokescreen deliberately released by the Spirit Hall to make everyone believe that the Spirit Hall was unable to obtain Qi Dao, thereby reducing the risk of Qi Dao and Xue Qinghe infiltrating the Heaven Dou.

But after his analysis, he suddenly came to a conclusion.

Xue Qinghe was indeed a spy for the Spirit Hall.

However, the Spirit Hall itself is probably not so harmonious; it has at least split into two factions.

One of the forces is naturally the one led by Pope Bibi Dong, while the other force is probably the one represented by Xue Qinghe.

Ning Fengzhi guessed that the secret letters received by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan were most likely from Bibi Dong's faction.

Clearly, these two forces have reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi finally demonstrated his wisdom and deduced the general outline of the matter.

Faced with Sword Douluo's question, he calmly replied, "No rush. We shouldn't be the ones to bring up the truth. Just wait. If I'm not mistaken, Qinghe should come out to us soon."

The entire Tiandou City is now in turmoil. Yu Yuanzhen, that brute, is frequently sending people into the palace to find out Xue Qinghe's true identity, as if he's afraid that others won't discover their little schemes.

Based on Ning Fengzhi's understanding of his disciple, he would probably realize it soon enough that his identity would be exposed, which would be the time when his disciple would reveal his true colors.

Ning Fengzhi is a businessman and doesn't have much loyalty to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, even knowing that Xue Qinghe was a spy for the Spirit Hall, he still had no intention of turning against Xue Qinghe.

How about a collaboration?

It doesn't matter who you cooperate with.

The reason they don't take the initiative to reveal their hand is simply to retain more control!
