This "v0.3" version is several times more complete than the previous one, with a more sophisticated route for the circulation of soul power, and includes some simple application techniques!
Although it still seems difficult to support cultivation beyond the Soul Saint level, it is definitely enough to lay the foundation for the juniors in the sect!
His hands began to tremble slightly.
However, the next moment, a third book was thrown into his hands.
Poison-Indestructible's hands trembled even more violently. He held the book in both hands, with a strange sense of pilgrimage, and looked at the small print at the bottom of the cover.
There, the small text arrived at "v1.0".
He opened it shakily, read only a few pages, and then closed it again. The shock in his eyes gradually turned into complexity and solemnity.
One or two books might be understandable, but throwing out three in succession, and in progressively higher order, clearly meant nothing to the boy in front of him.
"these are"
"I write."
Kong Ming'an spoke softly, smiling as he looked at Du Busi, and then added, "Oh, by the way, that 'v1.0' book in your hand is probably a basic cultivation technique version that was popularized in the Sun Moon Empire's army about two and a half years ago."
"The latest version currently used in the military is probably 'v3.4.' As for its effects, at least for now, the minimum physical strength of officially serving soldiers in the Sun and Moon faction is at the Soul Venerable level."
"..."
Poison Undying fell completely silent.
He felt that his worldview, which had been shaped by over a hundred years of life experience, had been greatly shaken. The military's widespread adoption? Basic cultivation techniques? A physique at the Soul Venerable level?
Each word struck him like a hammer blow, instantly cooling his initial excitement over the three classic texts.
Has the Sun Moon Empire reached such a terrifying level in physical cultivation?
Has his Body Sect truly been in seclusion for so long that it has become out of touch with the times?
And then there was the boy in front of him.
"May I ask your age?"
"This year's National Day holiday."
"..."
Is this the National Day holiday?!
Poison Immortal remained silent for a long while. Finally, his voice, slightly dry and hoarse, carried a hint of seriousness and respect:
"What do you mean by the future?"
Kong Ming'an's smile finally widened slightly. He took a small step forward, and his voice clearly reached the ears of Du Busi and all the remaining members of the Body Sect behind him who were frozen but still conscious:
"I just wanted to ask, what is the Poison Sect Master's opinion on the Body Sect's entry into Shrek City?"
"?!"
Poison Undying's eyes changed; for a moment, he wasn't sure if he had misheard.
Looking into Kong Ming'an's serious eyes, he immediately adopted a "go all out" attitude.
Please explain in detail!
"Sect Master Poison, there's no need for this. As I said, this is about discussing the future of the Body Sect. We certainly won't let the Body Sect suffer any losses. Just listen to me."
Kong Ming'an spoke slowly and deliberately, and Du Busi listened attentively, his eyes beginning to change.
At the same time, Xue Di, who was standing to the side, also unconsciously narrowed her eyes.
She looked at Kong Ming'an beside her, who was slowly speaking and offering suggestions one by one, and felt that the scene before her was extremely familiar.
It seems like this was the same way when this guy did business with her before?
By gradually offering irresistible bargaining chips, the initiative is firmly grasped in the hands of the other party.
Xue Di pursed her lips, the feeling of unease in her heart growing stronger. She quietly gazed at Kong Ming'an's profile, a sudden realization dawning on her.
She seemed to be firmly held by him, with no possibility of escape. No matter what he asked, she seemed to have no room to refuse and could only obey his orders.
In this situation, she must be desperate and angry, right?
Why?
She feels that her current life seems quite interesting?
Xue Di pursed her lips again, her icy blue eyes gently falling on Kong Ming'an, a hint of confusion and bewilderment flashing in her gaze.
"Things seem to be getting a little strange."
Chapter 55 Purpose
The chill in the forest had subsided slightly, but the heavy atmosphere had not completely dissipated.
Du Bu Si took a deep breath, looking at Kong Ming An with a complex and cautious gaze.
"You want my Body Sect to stand up for the 'Mingmeng Merchant Guild' in Shrek City, act as its protector, and become its nominal founder?"
"Yes."
Kong Ming'an smiled and said,
Undeniably, in recent years, the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce has developed exceptionally rapidly, leveraging its demi-dimensional teleportation for goods transportation and resource trading, as well as its overwhelming advantage in soul tool technology over the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Although it still can't compare to the large merchant guilds under the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School that have been operating for many years, it can still barely be considered among the top.
However, once the chamber of commerce was established, many people naturally had their eyes on it, wondering if they could take a piece of the pie from it.
Things were alright for a while, but recently, the probing of the Chamber of Commerce by various forces has intensified. Although there has been no armed conflict yet, it is only a matter of time.
Solving this problem isn't difficult; Kong Ming'an has many solutions, the simplest of which is to directly have a top power from the Douluo Three Kingdoms endorse the Chamber of Commerce.
The Body Sect is prominently among the top powers.
Poison Immortal breathed a slight sigh of relief, and immediately became confident.
"This isn't a big problem for the Body Sect. I can handle Xuanzi, and the elders of my sect can handle the other Super Douluo as well."
“There’s also Mu En,” Kong Ming’an added.
"Huh?" Poisonous Undying was taken aback, then let out a sharp crack, "Mounn isn't dead?!"
"Ah."
Poison Undying's expression turned ugly. Everything else was fine, but he was extremely wary of the person who had killed his brother.
It should be noted that his final decision to bring the Body Sect into existence was partly due to his belief that Mu En was already dead!
I thought this guy was already dead, but I never expected him to be alive!
"Don't worry, Poison Sect Master, I wouldn't send you to your death." Kong Mingan said calmly, "Mu En's condition is very poor. He is only relying on the Golden Ancient Tree to keep him alive. At most, he will die in ten or twenty years. If we make a move, then that time will be compressed even further."
"I will give you the complete 'Body Tempering Method,' the subsequent 'Ring Tempering Method,' and the methods for interfering with your own Qi and blood."
"With your foundation as a level 98 Super Douluo, within a year, I can't say I'll break through to level 99, nor can I say I'll be able to defeat Mu En, but I can definitely make sure Mu En can't kill you."
"As for the other elders and forces of Shrek Academy, with the strength of the Body Sect and my subsequent support, dealing with them should be no problem, right?"
"nature!"
Poison Undying's expression became more excited. "Thank you, Mr. Kong."
"It's nothing," Kong Ming'an waved his hand.
The Body Sect's entry into Shrek City was itself part of his plan to seize Shrek.
A Shrek Academy that is gradually infiltrated from within and surrounded by powerful enemies from the outside is more in line with his interests and is more likely to be poached.
To reiterate, Shrek Academy might be terrible, but their reputation as the "perennial number one" genuinely attracts countless talented individuals.
These talents are all within the scope of those who can be recruited.
With a calm gaze, Kong Ming'an took out a pre-prepared contract, slightly modified the terms according to what he had just discussed with Du Busi, and then pushed it in front of Du Busi.
Without hesitation, Du Busi raised his hand and signed his name, his decisiveness slightly exceeding Kong Ming'an's expectations.
After the contract was revoked and Kong Ming'an confirmed there were no problems, he took out two books and pushed them in front of Du Busi.
"I will first give the 'Body Tempering Method' and the 'Ring Tempering Method' to the Poison Sect Master. As for the method of using Qi and Blood, I will have to wait a while until I have compiled and edited it before handing it over to the Poison Sect Master."
"Someone will be specifically assigned to you to handle the specific details and resource allocation."
After a slight pause, Kong Ming'an looked at Xue Di beside him. Xue Di immediately understood, her icy blue eyes flickered slightly, and the extremely cold domain that had isolated heaven and earth like a cage receded like the tide, releasing the domain suppression on the members of the Body Sect.
Everyone was unsealed, and Poison Undying immediately felt a lightness in his body, letting out a long sigh of relief.
However, after regaining his composure, Poison Undying did not immediately choose to leave. Instead, after a moment of hesitation, he spoke again:
"Regarding the Heavenly Soul Empire, my original plan was to unite with them, making my Body Sect their national protector sect, moving from seclusion to the open, and taking this opportunity to grow stronger. Now, Mr. Kong, what do you think?"
"Continue with your original plan, Poison Sect Master. An alliance with the Heavenly Soul Royal Family is beneficial to your sect's development; there's no need to change it."
"However, at certain crucial moments in the future, you will need to guide them to make more 'wise' choices, such as trying to persuade them to give up futile resistance, submit directly to the sun and moon, and make a peaceful transition, which would be better for everyone."
"understand!"
Poison Undying did not linger and immediately led his disciples away in several streaks of light.
He now needs to immediately gather the members of his sect to carefully study everything Kong Ming'an has given him, and begin planning the various matters related to relocating and settling in Shrek City.
Now that we have decided to board the ship of the Sun Moon Empire, or rather the Kong family, we must naturally demonstrate sufficient value and sincerity.
Watching the departing figures of the Body Sect members, Kong Ming'an relaxed slightly.
Just as Kong Deming had thought, Kong Ming'an's personal visit to the Heavenly Soul Empire was not simply to have a game, but rather he had three purposes.
Firstly, the Ontology Sect.
The compatibility between the user's physical martial soul and the "body cultivation" system is beyond doubt. Compared to his grandfather's path of fusing "body cultivation" with soul tools, Du Busi and his sect members are more suited to pure "body cultivation."
Their potential is enormous, and it's natural to want to control it; therefore, winning them over is an inevitable step.
As for the matter concerning the Chamber of Commerce, it was just a side effect, and it can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
And now, that goal has been achieved.
Secondly, there's the matter of Shrek's arrangements.
Over the course of ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has been deified in the hearts of the common people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Even though it has decayed, the common people are still very familiar with it.
This situation was naturally detrimental to his subsequent plans, so a change was imperative.
The first step to change this situation is to personally defeat the Shrek Academy team in the highly anticipated Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, shattering their so-called glory.
This step is the simplest and easiest. With the current strength of the Sun and Moon team, as long as they don't encounter the Shrek team early on, reaching the finals shouldn't be a problem.
Finally, he made the move, guaranteeing a 100% victory.
The third reason is for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye located in the Sunset Forest.
Chapter 56 Haotian Sect
The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is a treasure basin formed by the intertwining of the powers contained in the remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two beings at the level of god-kings, after their deaths.
The extreme heat and extreme cold converge here, creating a unique environment that allows plants to grow at ten times the normal rate.
It is precisely because of this unique environment that countless rare and precious natural treasures have been nurtured here.
He was extremely interested in the remaining soul bones of the two dragon kings, and even the possible remnants of their souls, as well as the two possible remaining divine positions of the water and fire dragon kings, which were at the level of god-kings.
Unfortunately, given his current strength and resources, taking all of these things with him would be too much of a stretch, and might easily lead to trouble.
Out of caution, he will not delve into it further for the time being.
Besides, the item is right there and won't run away, so there's no need to be too anxious.
However, there's no need to rush about the two Dragon Kings' inheritance, but the countless immortal herbs nurtured in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are truly invaluable resources that must be mastered!
These are all rare and precious materials that can be used directly for his own benefit or for cultivating talent.
In addition, the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is also an excellent place to cultivate various plant-based soul-guiding materials and special herbs.
With a combination of reasons, he was determined to obtain the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Coincidentally, not long ago, the personnel sent by the Chamber of Commerce had roughly located the location of the poisonous barrier outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At that moment, Xue Di was also beside him.
