Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 38 Ning Rongrong

However, the problem is that it is extremely difficult to condense the essence of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon.

The sun is yang, and the moon is yin. The forces of yin and yang are mutually generating and mutually restraining. Under normal circumstances, they are mutually opposed. Unless there are very few special cases, the power of the sun and moon's radiance cannot be condensed at all.

Based on Shi Quan's current understanding, there is no one in Dou Yi who can absorb the radiance of the sun and moon, but there is one in Dou Er, since the inherited martial soul of the Sun and Moon Empire seems to be the sun and the moon.

If we could find the owners of the Sun Martial Soul and the Moon Martial Soul, and have them help the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to refine the Martial Soul, it might actually be possible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to undergo a transformation.

As he pondered, Shi Quan suddenly realized a problem. While ordinary people might not be able to do it, it didn't mean he couldn't. Because of the Nine Yang and Nine Yin Divine Skill, the internal energy in his body possessed both Yin and Yang attributes. If he wanted to condense the brilliance of the sun and moon and the essence of heaven and earth, he could do it. However, he naturally wouldn't attempt such a thankless task.

All we can say is that the essence of heaven and earth and the power of the sun and moon's radiance are a path that could potentially help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve its martial soul. Whether it can be followed or not remains to be seen; for now, it's just a hypothesis.

"Write this idea down first, so that you can explain it to Ning Fengzhi if he asks about it later."

Thinking this, Shi Quan took out a writing brush from the snow jade bracelet and began to write. After finishing, he stored it in his treasure bag.

Shi Quan usually puts unimportant things in his snow jade bracelet, while important things are kept in his treasure bag. He usually keeps the treasure bag attached to the inside of his clothes, and only puts it on when he changes his clothes.

Once the Treasure Bag is attached, it becomes seamlessly integrated with the object it's attached to. After attaching, unless Shi Quan actively tears it off, the Treasure Bag will not fall off. The pocket of the Treasure Bag is very special; apart from getting dirty, it is almost impossible to damage itself. Moreover, the Treasure Bag produced by the system has a very thoughtful owner-recognition attribute. Apart from Shi Quan, when other people touch the Treasure Bag, it is just an ordinary white bag, which is quite strange.

……

Since Ning Fengzhi's visit.

Shi Quan's life returned to its usual tranquility. He continued to do what he was supposed to do. When he had nothing to do, he would think about the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he didn't think too much about it.

He's now waiting for the Tian Dou team selection after the start of the school year.

After joining the battle of Heavenly Dou, find an opportunity to connect with Dugu Bo through Dugu Yan, and then go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

If they can't get a ride, Shi Quan has an alternative plan.

Then we should find out the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in advance, and steal the immortal herb when Dugu Bo is not around.

However, this alternative plan was too dangerous, and Shi Quan himself did not want to do it. His main goal at present was to get in touch with Dugu Bo through Dugu Yan.

Although he has a system, he doesn't want to let go of such a good thing as the immortal herb.

Just like money, who would complain about not having enough money?

After about half a month, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy finally welcomed the start of the new semester.

Because of his comprehensive knowledge, Shi Quan was granted special permission by the three major education commissions not to attend classes, and he could arrange his time at the academy as he pleased.

As Shi Quan anticipated, he only needed to wait patiently for the subsequent selection of the Tian Dou team.

However, contrary to his wishes, on the second day of the new semester, Ning Fengzhi visited him at the college again.

Ning Fengzhi didn't come alone this time, but unlike last time, the person accompanying him this time was Ning Rongrong.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's well-behaved and adorable appearance, it's impossible to tell that she was the witch from the original story.

When Ning Fengzhi brought Ning Rongrong with him, Shi Quan felt that Ning Fengzhi was not just introducing Ning Rongrong to him, and Shi Quan's prediction came true.

When Ning Fengzhi first arrived, he only inquired about Shi Quan's progress in researching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul evolution method from the side. Shi Quan also revealed some of his thoughts at the right time. After hearing this, the smile in Ning Fengzhi's eyes became much stronger.

Especially after listening to Shi Quan's eloquent explanation of his various insights on gemstone-type martial souls, Ning Fengzhi slapped his thigh and praised Shi Quan directly in front of Ning Rongrong. After giving Shi Quan a long and enthusiastic compliment, he finally revealed his purpose: he wanted Ning Rongrong to cultivate and learn with Shi Quan!

First, it was said that Ning Rongrong and Shi Quan were about the same age, and after getting to know each other, they realized that being the same age would give them more to talk about.

Then he began to praise Ning Rongrong, saying that her innate soul power was at least level nine, and that she was the only genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in hundreds of years who had the opportunity to turn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Then he said that having Ning Rongrong with Shi Quan would make it easier for Shi Quan to better study the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and he also hoped that Shi Quan could cultivate with Ning Rongrong. It would be best if he could help Ning Rongrong absorb soul rings beyond her level.

Shi Quan was used to cultivating alone and originally intended to refuse, but Ning Fengzhi, in order to keep Ning Rongrong with him, even declared that he planned to have Ning Rongrong become Shi Quan's disciple. Upon hearing this, Shi Quan had no choice but to agree. If he really accepted Ning Rongrong as his disciple, he would be truly tied to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so he naturally could not agree to such a thing.

Ning Fengzhi didn't come without giving Ning Rongrong benefits for cultivating with Shi Quan. He gave Shi Quan 200,000 gold soul coins, making him instantly wealthy, and also gave him a large amount of medicinal herbs and medicinal bath recipes to aid his cultivation.

Shi Quan understood Ning Rongrong's temperament. Before Ning Fengzhi left, Shi Quan specifically pointed out that if Ning Rongrong wanted to cultivate with him, she would have to endure a lot of hardship. He shouldn't be reluctant to let her go later. Ning Fengzhi directly told Ning Rongrong to train with peace of mind and not to treat her like the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Rongrong found it interesting and fun, and even after Ning Fengzhi said that, she still felt the same way. After all, she usually stayed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and rarely went out.

Ning Fengzhi left.

Shi Quan and Ning Rongrong are now just staring at each other, wide-eyed.

Looking at Ning Rongrong in front of him, Shi Quan felt a headache coming on. He didn't know what to do. Since she was already here, he couldn't just ignore her. He could only ask helplessly, "Has Uncle Ning arranged accommodation for you at the academy?"

"He arranged for me to stay next to your dorm, but I heard from Dad that you usually like to stay here?" Ning Rongrong shrugged. As soon as Ning Fengzhi left, she curiously looked around the wooden house, picking and choosing what she had. "This place is so simple, why do you like living here?"

"Because it makes cultivation easier."

Shi Quan got up and walked out of the wooden house, and Ning Rongrong followed him out. "The environment is not bad, you have a good eye."

Tell me your soul power level so I can arrange a training plan for you.

"I'm already level 21, and I just got my spirit ring recently. Pretty impressive, right?" Ning Rongrong said proudly, her head held high.

"Level 21?" Shi Quan raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. "Not bad."

"Not bad?" Ning Rongrong had expected to see Shi Quan's surprised expression, but upon hearing this comment, she immediately became indignant. "What do you mean 'not bad'? What level are you?"

"Level 22, Uncle Ning didn't tell you about my situation?" Shi Quan looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise.

"Twenty-two?" Ning Rongrong paused for a moment, but quickly regained her haughty demeanor. "Dad just told me he was taking me to see a master of martial spirit theory, saying that person might be able to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School find a way to evolve martial spirits. Who knew it would be such a little brat like you?"

Little brat?

Shi Quan felt a sudden jolt in his head and retorted, "If I'm a little kid, then what are you?"

Ning Rongrong said arrogantly, "Of course you can't compare to me."

Shi Quan said indifferently, "Miss Ning seems to have not figured out one thing. You came here to cultivate with a little kid like me. Someone who cultivates by following a little kid around, does that mean he can't even be considered a little kid?"

"How dare you say I'm not even a little kid!" Ning Rongrong shouted. Despite being only ten years old, the fierce aura emanating from her made Shi Quan think of a sixty-year-old woman from Huaxing. With her hands on her hips, she pointed at Shi Quan and said angrily, "Be careful, or I'll get Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone to beat you up."

"I'm so scared," Shi Quan said, patting his chest.

"You just wait and see." That smug look made Ning Rongrong's chest heave violently as she turned and walked outside.

Although Ning Rongrong was arrogant and somewhat disdainful of others, it did not affect her intelligence. She knew that she was no match for Shi Quan, and she had no guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help her vent her anger. Rather than arguing with him, she would rather teach him a lesson later.

"Halt!" Shi Quan shouted sharply. "You're here to cultivate under my guidance, so you must obey my orders. Did I say you could leave?"

"You think you can make me listen to you? Dream on!" Upon hearing Shi Quan's voice, Ning Rongrong not only didn't slow down, but instead quickly ran outside.

"Trying to run?" Shi Quan chuckled, his right hand flashing with pale blue light. He instantly channeled his inner force into his soul ring, and the Blue Silver Grass in his hand transformed into vines that rapidly extended upwards. In just a breath or two, a large number of Blue Silver Vines stretched up Ning Rongrong's legs.

As a result, she lost her balance and fell down with a thud. Fortunately, the Blue Silver Grass grew fast enough that it had already enveloped her when she fell, leaving only her head sticking out.

"Do you think you can escape?" Shi Quan pulled hard with one hand, slowly pulling Ning Rongrong back from the ground.

"Let me go, Shi Quan, you brat! If you don't let me go, I'm going to tell my dad when I get home..."

Ning Rongrong was 26 levels at age 12, and 21 levels at age 10, advancing five levels in two years.

This setting is based on Oscar's innate full soul power at age 14 and level 30. Ning Rongrong's talent is slightly inferior to Oscar's, so under normal training, even if Ning Rongrong is 26 at age 12, she should only break through to level 30 around age 14.

That translates to a four-level improvement in two years.

To refine the setting, a bottleneck period was added between levels 20 and 30, making cultivation more difficult than between levels 30 and 40, as mentioned in the book before.
