Douluo Continent: Transmigrated as Qian Renxue's follower, forced to become a god

Chapter 97 You're really dreaming (4000 words, two chapters combined)

After this period of training, Shi Yueyi is now at the peak of level 36 in soul power and is about to enter level 37.

However, due to the quality of her soul power, the level of her mental power, and her understanding of soul guidance technology, the soul tools she can make are also close to the level five.

She can draw now, but that doesn't mean she can make it now.

The situation of Ning Fengzhi and his group was more complicated. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a sample of the magic array, but they were unable to make others.

Even if Ning Rongrong is a person reborn from the future and has seen the divine soul tools such as the "Death Ray Tower" and "Transmission Tower" made by Huo Yuhao in the God Realm, it doesn't mean that she can make them.

It's like how Yuexuan teaches some ancient poems, but that doesn't mean the students can actually write them.

After explaining Yuexuan's situation, Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi essentially stabilized things within the palace, and they no longer needed to worry about those trivial matters.

Because Emperor Xueye handed over the management of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to Qian Renxue, she is also preparing to reform the academy.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy undoubtedly possesses the best training environment in the entire empire, but due to the lack of focus on teaching by some teachers and noble students, its teaching quality is not particularly high.

There were even cases where students took drugs to improve their cultivation, which was actually quite normal for aristocratic families who were obsessed with power struggles.

Therefore, Qian Renxue, in her capacity as the acting dean of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, convened an academic affairs meeting, assigning three Soul Douluo-level academic committee members to be responsible for recruiting new students and expanding the enrollment to include the common people.

This certainly can't be accomplished overnight, but it's a good start nonetheless.

-

A few days later, Ning Fengzhi came to his door.

"Teacher, Sword Douluo Senior, please have a seat."

Qian Renxue bowed slightly and then brewed tea for the two guests.

"Hehe, Qinghe, long time no see."

Ning Fengzhi sat down in the reception room of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace with a smile on his face and took a sip of tea.

Sword Douluo exclaimed, "Life in Qinghe is truly elegant; this subtle incense is intoxicating. Fengzhi, you might consider getting some too."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly: "I can give you some later."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi got down to business.

"Qinghe, I've always had a question," Ning Fengzhi said pointedly, "Where did that girl named Shi Yueyi in your Eastern Palace find her treasure?"

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "I found her in the destroyed Spirit Hall when I was visiting the northern part of the Empire. I sensed that her spirit was powerful, so I took her with me."

"I see." Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully.

However, what he was thinking about now was why there hadn't been any news about this girl before.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does control the talent market in Tiandou. Through chambers of commerce and other organizations in various places, they can find out which young people with outstanding talents are in various academies and families.

"Is the teacher interested in her?" Qian Renxue asked.

"That's right. This young lady met Rongrong once before and even had dinner together. That night, Rongrong used gold soul coins to obtain an offensive soul tool from Miss Shi and brought it back, but almost all the craftsmen in our sect are unable to decipher it," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Exchanged with Gold Soul Coins?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but think to herself.

When Xiao Shiyue returned that night, she told Ning Rongrong that she had given her a soul tool that she had made on the spot, in order to divert the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, Qian Renxue realized that Ning Fengzhi was probably implying that she could pay for it.

Sure enough, Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "I wonder if you could help me purchase the manufacturing method for soul tools from Miss Shi?"

"This..." Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Teacher, this matter is, after all, a matter of intellectual property rights. As you know, ever since that rebranded Ten Core Competitiveness Theories circulated from the prison some time ago, the Empire and the Spirit Hall have attached great importance to intellectual property rights."

"Let me contact her and see what she has to say," Qian Renxue said.

"Contact?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression.

He specifically chose this time to find Xue Qinghe because Shi Yueyi should be at school now, not in the East Palace.

Ning Rongrong said that this girl, Shi Yueyi, was as cunning as a fox, and she couldn't get any information out of her by talking to her. That's why Ning Fengzhi came at this time, hoping to handle the matter directly through his disciple.

Qian Renxue smiled faintly, then tapped her ear.

At this moment, Sword Douluo noticed that Xue Qinghe seemed to be wearing something very special on his ear, which looked like some kind of palace ornament.

But then, the ornament suddenly spoke!

"Feed? Your Highness?" Shi Yueyi's voice came from inside the ornament.

"This!" Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance and were immediately shocked!

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was initially surprised by the offensive type of soul tool, then what they showed at this moment was disbelief!

What is this? This is long-distance information transmission! Tiandou City is twenty miles away from Tiandou Royal Academy!

On the battlefield, at this distance, even if you want to transmit a message, you either need to send a flying-type Soul Master to deliver the intelligence or use signal flares, but this will inevitably cause information loss or asynchrony!

"Little October, my teacher, Sect Master Ning, wants to purchase some soul tools from you," Qian Renxue said into her earpiece.

"Want to buy soul tools? Sure," Shi Yueyi's voice came over. "There's a list of soul tools in my little sister's side hall. You can have a maid bring it to Sect Leader Ning for him to see."

Qian Renxue nodded, then ordered a maid to fetch a list from the side hall—this was something they had prepared in advance.

"Qinghe, what kind of soul tool is this?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.

Qian Renxue removed the headset disguised as an accessory and placed it on the table.

"Sect Leader Ning, as you can see, you can think of it as a soul tool for long-distance sound transmission." Shi Yueyi's clear voice came from the earpiece.

"How far can this kind of long-distance information transmission go?" Sword Douluo couldn't help but ask.

"What I can do right now... is probably within fifty miles," Shi Yueyi said.

At that moment, the maid entered and said, "Your Highness, here are the things you requested."

"You've worked hard, you can go now." Qian Renxue nodded.

Xue Qinghe is such a polite person; this is a consensus reached by everyone who knows him.

After the maid left, Shi Yueyi said into the earpiece, "Sect Leader Ning, please take a look at that list. It lists all the soul tools I can make right now, from level one to level four."

Ning Fengzhi picked up the page, which listed the levels and uses of some soul tools.

"Attack type: Piercing ray, paralyzing ray..."

"Defense Type: Moonstone Armor, Thorn Armor..."

"Support types: Encouragement Ray, Accelerator, Milk Bottle..."

Ning Fengzhi felt increasingly terrified as he looked at it.

If offensive and defensive soul tools can help support-type soul masters enhance their survivability and even their offensive capabilities.

Some support-type soul tools are so powerful that they're practically going to replace support-type soul masters!

For example, that acceleration booster, a level three soul tool, directly accelerates the soul master; and that milk bottle, the name is simple and straightforward, and the effect is also simple and straightforward, directly replenishing the soul master's soul power!

The entire reception room fell silent, the atmosphere so tense it was almost palpable. Ning Fengzhi began to regret coming at this moment.

If Xiao Shiyue were here, why not just "invite" her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Ning Fengzhi's breathing became somewhat heavy. He prided himself on being a calm person, and he had cultivated to the point of having a seven-aperture exquisite heart, but at this moment, even his fingers were trembling!

"How much do you plan to sell these soul tools for, and what are the manufacturing methods for them?"

Ning Fengzhi was so shocked that his voice became a little hoarse!

"I don't sell the recipes," Shi Yueyi's clear voice rang out. "I only sell the finished products. Of course, if you buy them and are able to figure out how to make them yourself, then you can make them yourself."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Ning Fengzhi's face stiffened. He recalled the words of his craftsman leader: the metal of these soul tools had undergone secondary or even tertiary processing. The proportions, smelting temperatures, and other processing methods could not be studied in a short time!

"Miss Poetry, could you please share the specific production methods?"

"hehe……"

On the other end of the headset, Shi Yueyi was sitting in an empty classroom, as if she had heard a joke.

"You're dreaming."

Ning Fengzhi frowned upon hearing this, then looked at Qian Renxue.

As a result, he found Qian Renxue standing by the window, feeding a squirrel with peanut butter on her finger.

"Poetry Girl," Ning Fengzhi said seriously, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be exchanged for money. Everything has a price: soul tools, land, slaves, domesticated soul beasts, and even souls."

"Then I want you to exchange your soul for it." Shi Yueyi's voice revealed nonchalance. "As you can see, this technology is epoch-making in the world today. It can be said that, apart from me, probably no one else knows this technology."

"Soul?" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed, and even Sword Douluo showed a hint of displeasure.

He couldn't help but look at Xue Qinghe, only to find that the other was still intently feeding the squirrels.

"Just kidding, don't look like you're about to draw your sword and kill someone." Shi Yueyi's voice was light and cheerful.

Then she seemed to say to the person next to her, "Hey, during the Soul Battle training later, don't go too hard on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples, I'm chatting with their parents."

Sword Douluo's expression froze. This guy had even calculated his own anger?

He felt like he had a mouthful of stagnant blood inside him, and he couldn't feel better until he vomited it out.

"When you came to me, you already realized that your sect's techniques were incapable of creating core magic arrays, right? I'm quite sorry about that, because it's something you simply can't master."

"Then why do you know how?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! That's how you should ask 'why'! That way I'll be more interested in continuing the conversation with you!" There was not a trace of anger or worry in Shi Yueyi's voice.

"Because this technology doesn't actually originate from Douluo Continent, but rather from another continent to the west of Douluo Continent, separated by the ocean—the Sun and Moon Continent," Shi Yueyi said. "I drifted all the way here from there."

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's eyes widened. They knew about the West Sea and that the Spirit Hall had once sent troops to the West Sea to recruit the spirit masters of Seagod Island, but they returned empty-handed.

"Once upon a time, the two continents were one, but in ancient times, due to the intervention of a certain god, the two continents were separated."

Shi Yueyi started talking nonsense.

Qian Renxue didn't stop, because she had also heard Xiao Shiyue tell this absurd story.

I listened to it as a bedtime story.

"And the result is that the soul guidance technology on the Douluo Continent has been interrupted. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you should know that there are antique soul guidance devices in some ancient ruins, and even soul guidance bombs. One of those things is at least comparable to a full-force attack from a Soul Saint!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly: "I agree with your statement about soul-guided bombs, but I really don't know about the issue of the discontinuity in soul-guided technology."

"It's normal that you don't know, just like the Sun Moon Continent doesn't know that there are level 100 Douluo in this world," Shi Yueyi said. "Because the Sun Moon Continent doesn't even have any titled Douluo above level 95, but their soul guidance technology is very strong."

"You mean you're from the Sun and Moon Continent, which is why you have so much knowledge?" Ning Fengzhi felt a bit overwhelmed.

"That's right, these aren't my original creations, so I would never sell them to you as my own patent. If my ancestors knew I was taking their research results and passing them off as my own original technology, they'd probably be furious," Shi Yueyi said.

"But it's okay to sell you some finished products, you can research it yourselves... Your little princess seems to have good comprehension skills, let her research it, maybe she can really make it."

Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "Alright, to prevent your ancestors from going into a rage... could I ask you for some guidance on the production process?"

"That's a different price."

"If there's a price, then it's negotiable!" Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief; the other party had finally agreed to agree.

"It's very simple," Shi Yueyi said. "I need you, and the Sword Douluo beside you..."

Sword Douluo looked around warily, unable to understand why he had been exposed to Shi Yueyi, who was twenty miles away.

Shi Yueyi looked at a small device on her wrist, which contained images transmitted from a monitoring soul tool in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

"...And to Sword Douluo's colleague, Senior Bone Douluo, immediately cease the hunt for the young talents of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Qian Renxue's lips twitched slightly; her trump card had finally been revealed.

Sword Douluo immediately prepared to draw his sword, but suddenly he felt that the flow of soul power throughout his body was restricted, and he was unable to condense his soul power smoothly!

He realized why he felt a sense of intoxication after entering this place!

"Tea!" Ning Fengzhi slurred.

"Incense!" Sword Douluo frowned.

Soul-Destroying Powder! A Drunken Massacre!

Two chapters combined into one!

It's past midnight today!

Because it's really not easy to divide it into chapters~

In addition, there might indeed be soul-guided bombs on the Douluo Continent:

The words "Operation Soul Hunt" were like an explosive soul-guided device thrown into the conference room, causing an uproar. As the highest-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, there were over twenty people present, all of whom had heard of this Operation Soul Hunt.
