Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Dugu Yan leaned quietly against the sofa, watching Xuan Hao lift Na'er high in the air, making the little girl giggle. In her dark green eyes, there was a complex light that she had never seen before.

This guy... is truly a mystery.

He's clearly full of nonsense, and he seems to be riddled with flaws—greedy, lustful, mercenary, and a scoundrel… Logically, such a person should be very annoying.

Ironically, these flaws combined in him don't make him seem greasy or repulsive; instead, they exude an indescribable... authenticity and nonchalance.

He's like a rogue who walks the line between right and wrong, openly bad yet reassuringly good.

He can express his desires without any concealment, yet he can also hold fast to the bottom line that others may not be able to uphold.

He can scheme against people so thoroughly, yet he can also make them willingly submit to his schemes and even thank him.

He had mastered this art of playing hard to get, giving a slap followed by a sweet treat, and switching effortlessly between reason and emotion—a skill he had perfected to an art form.

"Alright, that's enough fun and excitement."

Xuan Hao put Na'er back on the sofa and clapped his hands. "Now, it's time to get back on track."

“Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall behind. I’ve been indulging in pleasure for almost a month now, and my bones are practically melting. If I don’t work harder now, how will I suppress those unruly old guys in the future?”

"Go eat first; filling your stomach is the most important thing."

Xuan Hao straightened his clothes and casually said as he walked towards the door:

"After dinner, you can go back to the hotel to rest, or go shopping if you like. I need to go out alone to the Crown Prince's residence to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Looking for the Crown Prince?"

Na'er peeked her little head out from the sofa, her face full of confusion and wariness:

"What does my brother want with him? Isn't he a man? Do you want to become his live-in son-in-law?"

"puff--"

Dugu Yan, who was drinking water, spat it out.

Xuan Hao stumbled and nearly fell flat on his face. He turned around and glared fiercely at Dugu Yan. Without a doubt, it was this woman who had corrupted him.

"What utter nonsense!"

I'll go deliver a gift to him!

Xuan Hao curled his lip. "After all, I took so many benefits from her and fooled her completely. If I don't give her some sweetness, that Crown Prince will probably keep an eye on me and wonder every day if I'm trying to trick her."

"Of course we have to send it." Dugu Yan wiped her mouth and said gloatingly, "to prevent people from turning their love into hatred."

"Fuck off!"

……

After lunch, Xuan Hao, without any others by his side, leisurely arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.

The guards of the Crown Prince's residence had obviously received orders and dared not obstruct this "influential figure" in Tiandou City. They respectfully led him to the study.

Inside the study.

The familiar sandalwood scent remains, and so does the gentle and refined Xue Qinghe.

However, when Qian Renxue saw Xuan Hao push the door open and enter, her hand, which was originally reviewing memorials, visibly trembled, and her brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

Why are you here?

Qian Renxue put down her pen, looking at the uninvited guest with some wariness:

"You come to my door on your own initiative? That's not like you."

"Tell me, what disaster have you caused this time? Did you demolish the mansion of some noble family? Or did you make the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cry again, and now I have to clean up her mess?"

Hearing this pitifully practiced three-part interrogation, Xuan Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes and pull out a chair to sit down.

"Your Highness, is this how you perceive me?"

Am I the kind of person who only causes trouble?

"Yes," Qian Renxue answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"..."

Xuan Hao was momentarily speechless, then waved his hand dismissively:

"Come on, Your Highness."

"Don't you think that even if I really caused some terrible disaster, would I come to you to settle things?"

"Although you are the Crown Prince, Heaven Dou City is not a place where you can make your own decisions. If something serious happens, I will definitely run back to Spirit City to get reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"I think the teacher would be happy to send two Title Douluos to rescue me."

"you!"

Qian Renxue was furious. This bastard really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to throw this bastard out, and sneered:

"If they didn't come for help, then they must be here to ask for money?"

"What? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is such a huge gold mine, isn't that enough for you to dig up? You're trying to extort this poor prince again?"

"Vulgar! So vulgar!"

Xuan Hao shook his head in anguish, his face bearing an expression that said, "You think too highly of me."

"Am I, Xuan Hao, the kind of person who only cares about money?"

Am I the kind of Pixiu that only takes in and never gives out?

"I'm here today to fulfill my promise."

"A promise?" Qian Renxue was taken aback.

"Didn't I say before? As long as Your Highness treats me well and serves me... cough, makes me happy, I'll get some good things for Your Highness in return."

Is there some kind of conspiracy in Chapter 119?

……

As Xuan Hao spoke, he flipped his hand over.

hum-

A strange wave instantly rippled outwards.

A strange, milky-white herb, surrounded by a faint, chaotic mist, appeared out of thin air in Xuan Hao's hand.

It doesn't have the rich fragrance of tulips or the domineering chill of star anise; it just floats there quietly, yet it gives people a sense of natural perfection and all-encompassing grandeur.

"This is……"

Qian Renxue's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

As the inheritor of the six-winged angel martial soul, her perception far surpasses that of ordinary people.

She sensed an extremely pure and primal energy in this seemingly unassuming herb, which even resonated with the angelic soul power within her!

"This substance is called the Primordial Immortal Herb."

Xuan Hao, holding the immortal herb, introduced it casually:

"Of all the treasures I have, apart from those I've already eaten, this is the most suitable for you."

"Its function is very simple and pure."

"First, it greatly enhances your soul power, and it's an enhancement without any side effects. It can purify the quality of your soul power, making your foundation more stable."

"second……"

Xuan Hao paused, his gaze becoming somewhat meaningful:

"It can help you to comprehend and condense your soul core ahead of time."

"Soul core?"

Qian Renxue keenly noticed this unfamiliar word, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes:

"What is that?"

She grew up in the Spirit Hall from a young age, read extensively, and had a thorough understanding of the various theories in the world of spirit masters.

But she had never heard of the concept of "soul core".

"That is a special and more advanced form of cultivation."

Xuan Hao patiently explained, "Soul Masters usually store their soul power in their dantian, where it circulates throughout their body in a gaseous or liquid state."

"But as one's cultivation level increases, the total amount of soul power will become larger and larger, and liquid soul power can no longer meet the needs of the strong."

"The so-called soul core is formed by forcibly compressing and condensing the liquid soul power in the body into a solid state through special mental guidance and high-intensity compression, creating a highly rotating and ever-renewing core in the dantian or between the eyebrows."

"Once you successfully condense it, your soul power recovery speed will increase several times, and your explosive power will far exceed that of others of the same level! It will even allow you to fight almost tirelessly!"

After hearing this theory, Qian Renxue was completely shocked.

Solidified soul power? Everlasting life?

This completely overturned her previous understanding, but upon closer reflection, it seemed extremely reasonable!

If this can really be achieved, then the Soul Master's endurance and burst damage will indeed experience a qualitative leap!

"and many more……"

Qian Renxue suddenly realized something, and abruptly looked up at Xuan Hao, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt:

"The reason you possess such abnormal regenerative abilities is because you have condensed this so-called soul core?"

"How could that be?"

Xuan Hao shrugged. "You're overthinking it."

"My abnormal recovery ability is purely because I am gifted, because my martial soul is awesome, and because I have good physical fitness."

"As for the soul core... that thing is too early for me right now, and it's the same for you."

"To condense a soul core, one not only needs a massive amount of soul power, but also an extremely terrifying amount of mental power to control the compression process."
