Chapter 12: Soul Guidance Device Manufacturing Method

"Miss Dugu..." Ning Feiliu had just wanted to speak.

At this moment, however, he saw Dugu Yan glare at him with her beautiful eyes, so he had to change his words, "Yan... Sister Yan, don't you have your own business to attend to? As for me... I won't disturb you."

"Oh, I almost forgot because you didn't mention it," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

She immediately turned to the doctor in charge of the medical clinic and said, "I need three stalks of Zitan Grass, fresh ones, at least a hundred years old. You should be able to get your hands on them, right?"

Zitan Grass—Ning Feiliu had never heard of this herb name before.

However, he was very curious; according to the treasure-basin nature of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, shouldn't it have every herb imaginable?

Why would Dugu Yan have to come out to a medical clinic like this to get medicine?

Moreover, could this herb, Zitan Grass, be related to the toxins in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's bodies?

The clinic doctor, hearing Dugu Yan's instructions, did not dare to be the least bit negligent.

"Yes, we do. Although hundred-year-old Zitan Grass is relatively difficult to obtain, it is grown in large quantities in Black Sun City, located in the sunny central-northern part of the empire."

Hearing these words from the doctor, Ning Feiliu was also lost in thought.

But at this moment, Ning Feiliu was only focused on the pouch at her waist, his gaze burning.

After all, this was the first time Ning Feiliu had seen a Soul Guidance Device.

Because in this era of the Douluo Continent, the manufacturing methods for Soul Guidance Devices had been completely lost.

"Half a month?" Dugu Yan nodded, then her slender hand brushed across the pouch at her waist.

Thinking about it carefully, the growth environments for herbs are all rich and diverse.

It is indeed possible for some, like Zitan Grass, to require extra-specific growth conditions that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might not necessarily satisfy.

So, for Dugu Bo to give Dugu Yan a Soul Guidance Device was a trivial matter.

After all, given Dugu Yan's status—the only living relative of the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo—possessing a Soul Guidance Device was to be expected.

"Here is the deposit; I will pay you the rest when the Zitan Grass arrives."

After all, on the Douluo Continent, Soul Guidance Devices were items in short supply.

Perhaps this so-called Zitan Grass needs to grow in a place with abundant sunshine?

Dugu Bo certainly possessed many Soul Guidance Devices; otherwise, he wouldn't have casually given Tang San a 【Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch】 in the original story.

Without a doubt, that was definitely a Soul Guidance Device!

"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded, then turned to look at Ning Feiliu.

But the original body truly did not have a Soul Guidance Device.

Although his status seemed quite noble—the third son of the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi!

That is a powerful status, isn't it?

Dugu Yan said indifferently.

Ten Gold Soul Coins appeared in her hand, which she then handed to the clinic doctor.

"Understood, understood. Many thanks, Miss Dugu," the clinic doctor said respectfully after receiving the ten Gold Soul Coins.

The clinic doctor said, "It's just that it might take half a month to be delivered to Heaven Dou City."

And all known Soul Guidance Devices were either excavated from ancient ruins on the Douluo Continent or passed down through family lineages.

Therefore, the number of Soul Guidance Devices was extremely scarce.

And if a new Soul Guidance Device appeared on the Douluo Continent, it would inevitably be a treasure that everyone would scramble for.

Or it would be taken to an auction house to be sold; for example, when Tang San and Xiao Wu entered the Heaven Dou Great Auction House in the original story, they encountered a belt-type Soul Guidance Device being auctioned.

Despite being completely inferior to the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, that Soul Guidance Device was eventually successfully traded for a price of 43,000 Gold Soul Coins.

43,000 Gold Soul Coins!

One must know that a single Gold Soul Coin was enough for a normal family of three or four to cover their normal living expenses for four or five months.

And the highest level of Spirit Master Subsidy was only one hundred Gold Soul Coins per month.

43,000 Gold Soul Coins meant a Soul Elder would have to collect their Spirit Master Subsidy for over thirty years to be able to afford it.

And that was just for the lowest-grade Soul Guidance Device.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy and powerful, the Soul Guidance Devices within the sect were not so abundant that everyone had one.

Although Ning Feiliu was the Sect Master's own son, with his innate soul power of level four, it was not his turn to possess a Soul Guidance Device.

Among the sect's elders and the various Soul Douluo and Soul Saint-level powerhouses in the outer sect, who wasn't more qualified than him to own a Soul Guidance Device?

Even among his brothers, only the eldest brother, Ning Mingrui, and the second brother, Ning Shouzong, had each received a storage Soul Guidance Device.

However, according to the original owner's memories, the storage Soul Guidance Devices of the eldest brother, Ning Mingrui, and the second brother, Ning Shouzong, only had one cubic meter of storage space.

They belonged to the most common type of storage Soul Guidance Device.

However, Ning Rongrong, that little troublemaker, actually had several storage Soul Guidance Devices on her.

Needless to say, these were all from the doting of Ning Fengzhi and the two Supreme Elders, Sword and Bone.

Coupled with Ning Rongrong's innate soul power of level nine, the sect had no objections and chose to turn a blind eye.

So, when Ning Feiliu saw the Soul Guidance Device on Dugu Yan, he was suddenly filled with curiosity and... envy.

A storage treasure... who wouldn't hope to have a portable storage space to store things?

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, suddenly...

The light on the pouch at Dugu Yan's waist twisted, and another line of small text appeared before Ning Feiliu's eyes.

【Completely decompose the space Soul Guidance Device, Precious Wonder Pouch, to obtain the Soul Guidance Device manufacturing method.】

This... is the manufacturing method for a Soul Guidance Device?!

Ning Feiliu's pupils shrank slightly, and at this moment, Dugu Yan saw him staring straight at her Soul Guidance Device, the Precious Wonder Pouch, and let out a soft laugh.

"This is a Soul Guidance Device; is this your first time seeing one?"

Ning Feiliu then realized his gaze seemed somewhat rude, as he had been staring at someone else's belongings...

This is indeed not a polite behavior.

"Apologies, it is indeed my first time seeing a Soul Guidance Device..." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said with a serious expression, "However, I am only somewhat interested in your Soul Guidance Device; I have no... bad intentions."

No... although the manufacturing method of the Soul Guidance Device is very tempting...

But this would require completely dismantling Dugu Yan's Soul Guidance Device; if he understood correctly, "completely dismantle" means to directly take apart Dugu Yan's Soul Guidance Device...

Wouldn't Dugu Yan fight him to the death over that...

Even if Dugu Yan didn't fight him to the death, casually taking apart someone else's things is also a very bad thing to do.

"It's fine, this Soul Guidance Device isn't actually that precious." Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of a smile as she said, "I have... eight more Soul Guidance Devices like this one!"

The corner of Ning Feiliu's eye twitched; eight... Soul Guidance Devices.

As expected, comparing people to one another only leads to frustration...
