Chapter 219

The five girls and Ma Bao were at Binghuo Liangyi Yan accompanying the four elders, occasionally chatting, and then each cultivated on their own.

The cultivation speed here is somewhat faster than outside, but given their current strength, they cannot stay here for too long.

Gu Xuan directly gave the Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone to Zhu Zhuqing; after Zhu Zhuqing absorbed this immortal-grade medicinal herb, her soul power broke through from rank 43 to rank 47, a full increase of four ranks.

Of course, most importantly, under the transformation of this immortal-grade medicinal herb, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation speed also received a great boost, so she will basically not fall behind others in the future.

Upon learning the cultivation levels of these youngsters, the four elders were each so astonished they opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg, because this bunch of youngsters were simply monstrous talents.

Compared to these youngsters, they themselves were practically inviting humiliation!

Moreover, upon learning that Gu Xuan had actually divided the three soul bones awarded as prizes from the grand competition among these young companions, the four elders all greatly praised Gu Xuan.

If it were anyone else, they would surely not be able to resist gathering a full set of soul bones for themselves, yet Gu Xuan actually was willing to bring them out?

Especially Ye Haitang, Zhang Jinyuan, and Dugu Bo, Gu Xuan directly gave Ye Lingling a 100,000-year right leg bone, and Du Gu Yan also received a 50,000-year head bone; this treatment, even they were envious to no end.

Although Gu Xuan is a bit flirtatious, it is undeniable that he truly treats these little girlfriends well, each of the five girls possessing a soul bone.

Zuo Yan is fine, after all he now has a girlfriend and a soul bone, but Ma Bao, Zhan Yu, and Yang Po Jun are jealous, having no girlfriend is bad enough, yet they don't even have a single soul bone.

Envy, jealousy, hatred!

However, there is also good news: Ma Bao and Ning Rongrong reached Binghuo Liangyi Yan and, within two days, both broke through from rank 49 to rank 50; the others also made some progress.

Now the strength of this group of companions is as follows:

Gu Xuan naturally has the highest soul power level, fifteen years old, rank 57.

Next are Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Du Gu Yan, martial soul: Ancestor, twenty years old, rank 56.

Ye Lingling, martial soul: Nine Heart Begonia, eighteen years old, rank 56.

Then come Ning Rongrong and Ma Bao, both rank 50, except Ning Rongrong is only fourteen years old while Ma Bao is already seventeen.

Ning Rongrong, martial soul: Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, fourteen years old, rank 50.

Ma Bao, martial soul: Blazing War Horse, seventeen years old, rank 50.

Zhan Yu, martial soul: Steadfast Shield, seventeen years old, rank 49.

Yang Po Jun, martial soul: Soul-Breaking Spear, seventeen years old, rank 49.

Li Li, martial soul: Human Face Demon Spider, fourteen years old, rank 44.

Zhu Zhuqing, martial soul: Netherworld Spirit Cat, fourteen years old, rank 47.

Zuo Yan, martial soul: Phoenix Divine Wings, sixteen years old, rank 48.

If we say that the other few members of the Royal Battle Team and the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation are among the continent's top talents, then this group of people exists at an even higher level.

They are super-geniuses who can barely be compared to Qian Renxue.

Afterward, Gu Xuan began closed-door cultivation within Binghuo Liangyi Yan, aiming to break through rank 60 as soon as possible, then after absorbing his sixth soul ring he would start the next step of his cultivation plan.

Dugu Bo then took Ning Rongrong and Ma Bao to obtain their fifth soul rings.

On another front, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect has also undergone some reforms; currently the number of Soul Masters within the sect exceeds five thousand, and besides the original disciples, there are also many members of the Po clan and the Nine Heart Begonia family.

Therefore, to prevent future internal disciple faction disputes within the sect, Ning Fengzhi began establishing the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Although the members of the Po clan and the Nine Heart Begonia family who later joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect were later distributed into various departments, one must always take a far-sighted view.

Thus establishing the Hall of Law Enforcement was also Gu Xuan's idea; in the future the Hall will enforce strict laws within the sect to prevent internal corruption.

The position of Hall Master of the Hall of Law Enforcement is to be held by an elder within the sect; this elder is named Ning Qingfeng, a member of Ning Fengzhi's uncle generation, over seventy years old, and is a Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda seven-ring Soul Saint.

The vice hall master is Qin Ming; Qin Ming's strengths lie in his honesty and rigor, and now that he has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, appointing him to this position is naturally the best choice.

Moreover, Qin Ming is already close to breaking through to Soul Saint; following the original storyline, he could break through to Soul Douluo within five years, and with the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, he will absolutely become a Titled Douluo in the future.

After a long period of adjustment, once Qin Ming is fully devoted, his strength will then be sufficient to serve as Hall Master of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is growing stronger day by day; such an institution is naturally necessary, and the person holding this position must be selfless and impartial.

Qin Ming is naturally a suitable candidate.

Of course, if Qin Ming does not perform well in this regard, he would naturally never be allowed to hold the position in the future; this is also why currently he is only appointed as vice hall master.

Besides that, Gu Xuan is not constantly cultivating all the time, so he summoned all the members of the Zodiac Hall to Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

The Zodiac Hall currently does not have many members, only one hundred and eight, which includes Gu Miao.

These one hundred and eight people all mutated beast characteristics when their martial souls awakened, each counting as a half-beast person.

However, they all share a trait: their martial soul is their true form; they are the amalgamation of their respective martial souls, which can be called an innate martial soul.

Gu Xuan now also understands the essence of secondary awakening; although he cannot yet devise a complete method for martial soul secondary awakening, guiding them is absolutely sufficient.

Over the past two years, Gu Miao, under the supply of resources provided by Gu Xuan, has reached rank 32, but Gu Xuan's strength is not the strongest within the Zodiac Hall.

The one hundred and eight members of the Zodiac Hall have been recruited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect from across the continent over these years; some have just awakened their martial souls, while others have been cultivating for a long time.

However, these people basically do not have high status; due to their martial soul mutation, they have become rare half-beasts, turned into commodities bought and sold by major powers and nobles, and some even live worse than ordinary people.

The strongest among them has already cultivated to the Soul King realm; this person has no name, because after awakening a mutated martial soul in childhood, due to his appearance he was traded and bought, later becoming a guard in a noble household, a position already considered not bad.

At that time his name was Qiu Long, because his martial soul is Dragon, and due to martial soul mutation Qiu Long also became a dragon-person; now he is thirty years old, rank 58, and this is despite basically having no cultivation resources (the time spent arriving at the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is not counted).

Because Qiu Long's innate soul power reached as high as rank 8, he was originally an orphan, and the martial souls of his parents are unknown, so no one knows the specific name of his martial soul.

However, Qiu Long himself indeed gave his mutated dragon-person form the name Huo Long.

At six years old, after awakening his mutated martial soul, Qiu Long grew a pair of horns on his head, a pair of wings on his back, and a long red tail, the tip of which still burns with flames.

Because of this striking appearance, Qiu Long's selling price has always been good; however, because the people of the Douluo Continent reject such half-beasts, no one is willing to regard them as human, so even though Qiu Long possesses extraordinary talent and an imposing appearance, he can still only work as a guard.

When Qiu Long was twenty-nine, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect bought him back at a high price; he initially thought it was merely a change of workplace as a guard, but he did not expect that over the following year or more he would actually experience a genuine human life.

Here, people do not regard them as outsiders, and there are also one hundred and eight others like him living here, and this number will only increase in the future.

The one who brought them these benefits is Gu Xuan, who is also the nominal hall master of the Zodiac Hall now; upon seeing the hall master, they naturally feel gratitude welling up.

Now Qiu Long is no longer called Qiu Long; he is named Long Yi, and is the Dragon Gate Master of the Zodiac Hall.
