Chapter 35: The Ancient Banyan Tree Relieved
"Fengzhi, since there's nothing else, let's head back now. Xuan'er hasn't rested for two days, and Hunter Soul is probably exhausted by now."
Seeing that Gu Xuan had almost finished eating, Gu Rong spoke first.
"Oh, okay, then Uncle Gu, you should go back and rest first."
Ning Fengzhi snapped out of his daze and looked at the already cold food with a somewhat embarrassed expression. How could he have been so focused on brainstorming that he forgot about Uncle Gu and Xiao Xuan?
"It's alright, Feng Zhi, your idea is very good. Perhaps in the future, we can really cultivate a Soul Master with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Gu Rong smiled and patted Ning Fengzhi on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle Gu."
Ning Fengzhi smiled very brightly.
After bidding farewell to Chen Xin, Gu Xuan, Gu Rong, Ning Feng, and others, they left the main hall.
"Grandpa, are you unhappy?"
Gu Xuan looked at Gu Rong, who was leading the way, and suddenly said something.
Gu Rong paused slightly, but quickly recovered.
"I'm not unhappy about anything, I'm just a little upset."
The ancient banyan tree looked up at the night sky.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have many high-quality soul bones. Besides the six soul bones on me and that old bastard, there are only four other soul bones of decent quality."
Two of those pieces are a perfect match for you in terms of both attributes and quality.
The idea that Fengzhi came up with was actually something his grandfather had thought of before.
However, what I wanted to do was to let you absorb the complete set of soul bones, so that you could absorb soul rings in a leapfrog manner.
Originally, I wanted Feng Zhi to give you the two soul bones in the sect that were suitable for you, and then I would try to hunt a few powerful soul beasts outside to get more soul bones.
Although the chance of getting a Soul Bone by doing this is very low, as long as you collect enough, you will eventually get a suitable Soul Bone.
But Fengzhi's idea coincided with mine; he also wanted to prepare a complete set of high-quality soul bones for Rongrong.
Soul bones are not something you can just buy; the only way for Feng Zhi to get enough soul bones is to exchange them for other soul bones.
Those two soul bones must be one of the bargaining chips used in the exchange.
As Gu Rong spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Gu Xuan.
"I want to give you a better cultivation environment, and Fengzhi also wants to give Rongrong a better future. Those two soul bones didn't originally belong to us, so even if he took them to exchange for them, I'm not unhappy about it. I'm just a little sad."
After all, Ning Fengzhi only considered Ning Rongrong and not Gu Xuan.
Given the current situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they should actually be supplying Gu Xuan, since Gu Xuan is a potential Limit Douluo, while Ning Rongrong is only a potential Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ultimately belonged to Ning Fengzhi's family, so he couldn't say anything.
"this one?"
Gu Xuan smiled dismissively and looked up at the ancient banyan tree, which was over two meters tall.
"Grandpa, are you underestimating me, or are you underestimating yourself?"
Others may lack soul bones, but do we?
Even if I gave you two talismans, wouldn't you still be able to rampage through the Starry Sky Forest?
At that point, obtaining a soul bone will be a piece of cake.
Gu Xuan waved his hand casually and said.
The biggest fear when slaughtering soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest is being ganged up on by them.
Once a beast tide occurs, even a titled Douluo would not dare to face it head-on.
Why wouldn't a titled Douluo dare to confront them head-on? It would only mean death!
Is this a problem for him?
The dog talisman ensures the ancient banyan tree never dies and that its spirit and energy remain at their peak forever, while the horse talisman ensures the ancient banyan tree will never be injured and eliminates external influences.
With these two powerful talismans, given enough time, Gu Rong could thoroughly search every corner of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Of course, the premise is that you don't run into those old guys like God and God, otherwise even if you are immortal, you can easily be captured and sealed away.
As for killing?
Are you kidding me? You've already transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, why would you be afraid of killing?
Shrek Academy in Douyu II still claims to promote harmony between the environment and soul beasts, yet they still throw out one secret soul bone after another, and even use soul beast skulls to build training rooms.
This shows that...
As long as outsiders don't know, what's wrong with slaughtering some soul beasts?
Sustainable development is important, but it should not be held hostage by so-called morality.
In the Douluo Continent, self-improvement is always the top priority; morality can only be second, or even further down the list.
Only when you have the strength can you have the right to talk about morality.
You know the Spirit Hall, right?
They have the strength and enough soul bones in their inventory, which is why they announced the Soul Beast Protection Law.
Otherwise, why should those who make up the vast majority of Soul Masters demand that Soul Masters refrain from indiscriminately killing Soul Beasts?
He has no right to talk about morality before he has the power.
Only by listening to others talk about moral principles.
Why do people listen to Lao Tzu's teachings on the Tao Te Ching?
Because my fists are hard enough.
Gu Rong's eyes instantly squinted upon hearing Gu Xuan's words.
"Haha, that's true. We can get the soul bones ourselves, so we don't owe him anything."
Gu Rong rubbed Gu Xuan's head and laughed heartily.
Unbeknownst to them, some cracks had developed between the ancient banyan tree and Ning Fengzhi.
"After that old poisoner comes back, I'll go out for a stroll and make sure I gather a complete set of soul bones for you."
The ancient banyan tree has regained its vigorous and spirited appearance.
"By the way, Xuan'er, whatever kind of soul bone you want, just pick it. Grandpa will make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."
Gu Rong is now extremely arrogant; not to mention Gu Xuan's, he'll arrange one for himself too.
Is what was revealed inappropriate?
Why can't we kill more?
Anyway, he runs fast and no one can stop him, and even if he's ruthless, no one will realize it was him.
Gu Rong chuckled strangely.
"As for the type, fire-attribute dragons are the best."
Gu Xuan thought for a moment and finally said.
He wasn't sure if absorbing other types of soul bones would cause the dragon talisman to resonate. If it couldn't resonate, wouldn't that mean he had lost an external soul bone?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, it's best to absorb fire-attribute dragon soul bones.
"Okay, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."
Gu Rong thought about it and realized that only the Dragon Seed Soul Bone was worthy of his grandson.
"By the way, Xuan'er, you said you needed to absorb different types of soul rings to condense talismans. I wonder what the remaining nine are?"
Gu Rong felt a toothache just thinking about how Gu Xuan still had to absorb nine more soul rings.
Ten talismans make you a Title Douluo, twelve, level 110, what the hell is that?
He wanted to ask Gu Xuan about it now, and also to keep an eye out for him when he went to hunt soul beasts for soul bones, so that his grandson could absorb a soul ring as soon as he broke through.
"The twelve grooves on my martial soul represent twelve animals, namely..."
Gu Xuan gave Gu Rong a brief introduction to the twelve zodiac animals, and emphasized that he would choose from the rat, sheep, and tiger for his next three soul rings.
Gu Rong listened with a sigh as he marveled at the power of Gu Xuan's martial spirit.
They didn't ask about the power represented by each talisman.
In his words, maintaining an air of mystery is what creates a sense of surprise.
