Chapter 127: Mysterious Water Pill Obtained
After all, it is an official tournament for the entire continent; naturally, one cannot participate while hiding their identity.
An official competition—could it allow someone who hides their true face and skulks about to participate?
That would simply be slapping the officials in the face.
In fact, the fact that someone like the son of a wanted criminal designated by the Spirit Hall, Tang San, could participate was already extremely irregular.
However, considering that Douluo Continent doesn't have this thing called political vetting.
That could barely pass, I suppose.
But someone like Ning Feiliu, who isn't even willing to reveal his true face, certainly cannot participate.
Besides, what is there to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament for?
There are only two obvious benefits to participating in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
One is the so-called allowing young talents to showcase their talent and strength, especially grassroots Spirit Masters, to make a splash and shine brilliantly at the tournament.
Then they can be scouted by major powers afterward, like Shi Ao, to join a major power directly and enjoy power and glory.
The second is obtaining rewards from the empire after the so-called advancement matches.
Neither of these counts for much to Ning Feiliu.
Achieving class transition, becoming an honored guest of a major power, or receiving a reward of tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins from the Heaven Dou Empire...
Does he need these?
He already possesses these without needing to participate in this so-called Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament at all, alright.
And in fact, no one knows that there is another massive benefit to participating in the tournament two sessions from now and becoming the ultimate winner...
That is that the Spirit Hall will bring out three soul bones as the champion's reward.
If everyone knew this news, they would probably go crazy on the spot.
After all, these are soul bones!
And there are three of them!
At that time, the Spirit Hall will bring out three soul bones, including a head soul bone whose preciousness is second only to a Torso Spirit Bone.
This would absolutely make the young Spirit Masters of that generation go crazy for it!
However...
Ning Feiliu doesn't look down on it.
As for this thing called soul bones, limb soul bones are one thing, but things like head soul bones cannot be replaced once absorbed.
Absorbing that mere ten-thousand-year Wisdom Skull would be a huge loss; Ning Feiliu is really not very willing to absorb a soul bone that is only at the ten-thousand-year level.
Although this Wisdom Skull should be the best head soul bone in the Douluo I era.
Even looking at Douluo II and III later on, the only ones recorded that seem better than this Wisdom Skull are Huo Gua's Imperial Auspicious Beast Skull and Lan Mengqin's Ice Dragon Skull...
But Ning Feiliu actually thinks... among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of the Peerless Tang Sect era, there should be a possibility of one dropping a powerful head soul bone.
Because soul bones are actually the manifestation of a powerful Soul Beast's specialty.
For example, in the original plot of Dragon King Legend, it was said that soul bones are almost all the Spirit Cores of Soul Beasts.
After death, they turn into the things that were most characteristic during their lifetime; for instance, mental-type Soul Beasts are mostly the head, power-type are mostly the arms, speed-type are mostly the legs, and those with strong overall strength are the Torso Bone.
Generally speaking, Soul Beasts without a Spirit Core are very difficult to provide soul bones; of course, if it is a Soul Beast with a slightly higher bloodline level, it is possible for a soul bone to appear before it cultivates into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
Moreover, soul bones were not rare items during the Dragon King Legend era; there are hundreds of dragons in the dragon graveyard of the small world, and every set of remains has soul bones.
A head soul bone requires a mental-type Soul Beast, and among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, besides Xie Di, Wan Yao Wang is also a poison, plant, and mental-type Soul Beast.
Bi Ji can actually barely count as one too.
Anyway, Ning Feiliu is not interested in that Wisdom Skull brought out by the Spirit Hall.
The most critical thing is that there is no need to take the risk of exposing his identity and being targeted by the Spirit Hall.
His idea is actually to trigger various tasks, develop silently, and improve his cultivation and strength.
Until his strength is powerful enough to face a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast directly, then find them one by one and let them become the nutrients for him to become stronger.
In the end, once his strength is strong enough, even Tang San and the Spirit Hall will be unable to do anything to him.
Then wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants at that time?
Why bother high-profilely participating in some nonsense Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?
Dugu Bo, who roughly guessed Ning Feiliu's thought of not wanting to expose his identity, also had no intention of persuading him.
This kind of personal family matter, especially since Ning Feiliu, in his view, has a maturity of thought that is frightening, not at all like a little child.
So, persuasion by appealing to emotion is useless; the most useful thing is actually to move him with reason.
To truly convince Ning Feiliu with logic and benefits.
However... Dugu Bo really couldn't think of any logic or benefit that could convince Ning Feiliu.
Could it be to let Ning Feiliu expose his identity and compete for the position of future Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
If Ning Feiliu really wanted to do that, he probably would have exposed his identity long ago.
But he didn't.
So such persuasion is useless.
Therefore, Dugu Bo gave up the plan to persuade Ning Feiliu on this matter.
Ning Feiliu thus returned to his low-key "development" schedule once again.
Spirit Fighting, opening a medical clinic to push tasks, pharmacological testing of the water-attribute Soul Beast Essence Blood for the Mysterious Water Pill series, practicing the Distraction Control Method, cultivating soul power...
A packed schedule, enough to keep Ning Feiliu busy.
And Ning Feiliu's recent research on the Mysterious Water Pill tasks has also gradually perfected.
"Special free energy number three separated from Heavenly Water Mysterious Snake Essence Blood... its effect can enhance the activity level of soul power; currently, a one-gram content can increase soul power activity by fifty percent... the test subject had certain adverse reactions after injection... named Promoting Spirit Power Activity Spirit Energy."
"Special free energy number four separated from Heavenly Water Mysterious Snake Essence Blood..."
"The No. 1 special biological enzyme isolated from the Essence Blood of the Surging Phantom Beast... is actually a protease... it can act on the 'meridian' receptors of organisms... stimulating the growth of cells capable of storing soul power... named Expanding Meridian Phantom Beast Protease."
"Water Demon Ghost Wolf Essence Blood..."
"Azure Water Demon Fish Essence Blood..."
"The No. 3 special free energy isolated from the Single-Horned Lion-Tailed Fish Essence Blood... can significantly increase soul power... its essence should be pure free soul power!"
Ning Feiliu finished recording the water-attribute Soul Beast Essence Blood extracts that had just undergone pharmacological testing, and was just about to continue to get the next type of water-attribute Soul Beast Essence Blood to continue separating and extracting components to perform further tests.
But just at this moment...
A line of small text that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
【Obtained and analyzed the Essence Blood components of the Heavenly Water Mysterious Snake, Surging Phantom Beast, Water Demon Ghost Wolf, Azure Water Demon Fish... and Clear Spring Nymph, and completed the full pharmacological tests, obtaining the production method for the Mysterious Water Pill.】
He watched as this line of small text instantly shattered, transforming into profound and deep knowledge that entered Ning Feiliu's mind.
Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face, "It's done! I succeeded!"
After more than two months of working day and night on experiments, he had finally completed this task and obtained the production method for the Mysterious Water Pill!
