Chapter 17: Moonlight Breathing Technique

"I actually haven't been studying for very long," Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, then said honestly.

"You really are..." Dugu Yan stopped in her tracks, looking at him, her thoughts becoming even more firm.

This big soft-hearted fool was only planning to open a medical clinic to save people on a whim.

Someone who clearly didn't understand anything, yet relied entirely on a burst of hot-blooded enthusiasm...

"Then what books have you read so far?" Dugu Yan asked again.

"The *Compendium of Prescriptions*..." Ning Feiliu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"The *Compendium of Prescriptions*? Anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"Nothing else?!" Dugu Yan widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Ning Feiliu with an expression like she was looking at an idiot.

"Um..." Ning Feiliu felt embarrassed and said, "But I will read more and study more from now on."

"Very good! Then what about this one?"

However, Dugu Yan didn't let him help carry things; after all, she had a Soul Guidance Device on her.

"Ah? I think... the color is too plain. Sister Yan, you need something with more vibrant colors!"

"Alright, accompany me shopping first."

Ning Feiliu was also feeling somewhat exhausted; accompanying a girl shopping was, as expected...

"But I don't really like it..."

"Alright, little Feiliu, this sister is going back now too." Dugu Yan turned around with a radiant smile to look at Ning Feiliu behind her and said, "Thank you for your help with the selection today!"

"Little Feiliu~ How is this piece of clothing?"

Another hour passed, and seeing that it was getting late.

"That means it's not good."

It was too mentally draining.

"Ah? Isn't this a men's clothing store?"

"You've only read this one book... you're probably even worse off than me," Dugu Yan teased. "And you want to go save people? You really are a fool."

Only then was Dugu Yan satisfied and planning to head back.

"That's right, I want you to help me pick out a few pieces for my grandfather!"

It's just that...

"Um... it looks very good."

After saying that, Ning Feiliu accompanied Dugu Yan as the shopping torture began.

"Ah?!"

"No, you always say that. Tell me, what is not good about it?"

"You're welcome..." Ning Feiliu's expression could barely hide his fatigue as he waved his hand weakly.

"So... this is a thank-you gift for today!" Dugu Yan suddenly threw the Precious Wonder Pouch from her waist to him.

He caught it subconsciously, but he immediately reacted.

"No!" Ning Feiliu hurriedly returned it and said sternly, "I can't take this! It's too valuable!"

This was a Soul Guidance Device!

Besides, he had only accompanied Dugu Yan shopping for an hour today; what kind of merit was that to dare accept someone's Soul Guidance Device?

He considered himself very clear-headed: take what should be taken, and don't be greedy for what shouldn't.

That was the principle of being a person.

"What are you thinking?!" Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "You don't really think I'd give this to you, do you? What I'm giving you is the books inside."

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment.

Then Dugu Yan continued, "Come, input your soul power into it, and you'll be able to see what's inside."

Ning Feiliu tried to circulate his soul power, his consciousness falling into the Precious Wonder Pouch.

Inside the Precious Wonder Pouch, the space was not large, only two cubic meters, and he saw over twenty books placed inside.

The names of the books were *Herbal Compendium*, *Runyao Hunshou Tujian*, *Hundred Explanations of Pharmacology*, *Compendium of Ten Thousand Poisons*, *Golden Elixir Prescriptions*... and so on; one look and he knew they were books related to pharmacology, toxicology, and herbal studies.

"These are all books that will be very helpful for you to learn how to save people," Dugu Yan said with a smile. "But there are too many books, and I'm afraid you'll end up as weak as you were before if you carry them back, so I'm giving you this to make it convenient for you to take them back."

"Remember to return it to me tomorrow!"

Ning Feiliu was suddenly moved; Dugu Yan had helped him a great deal, not to mention all these books.

The fact that she was willing to lend him a Soul Guidance Device to carry the books back was clearly an act of immense trust in him.

But to say he was weak...

He was somewhat helpless, "Sister Yan, I was just in a hurry earlier..."

As an Auxiliary System Soul Master, even using soul power, running from the outskirts on the other side of Heaven Dou City to the bustling main streets of Heaven Dou City was still very tiring.

It was mainly because he was worried about making Dugu Yan wait too long, so he had increased his speed.

And he was currently only a Spirit Master, having only unlocked "Strength Amplification," but not yet "Speed Amplification."

That was why he looked so tired.

"You are just weak!" Dugu Yan continued to tease him. "Alright, I don't want you to collapse and die from exhaustion carrying so many books back. What would I do if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came to cause me trouble?"

"Just remember to return the Soul Guidance Device to me tomorrow."

"Alright, I will return it to you tomorrow, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu was helpless, but he still said it solemnly.

"Alright, then remember tomorrow, don't make me wait as long as today..." Dugu Yan blinked her beautiful, lively eyes with a hint of cunning amusement.

"Cough, cough... I will be on time," Ning Feiliu said hurriedly.

"Alright, I'm leaving... you big soft-hearted fool!" Dugu Yan left directly, and in the end, she made fun of Ning Feiliu one last time.

Ning Feiliu shook his head helplessly, but he did not feel offended by this joke from Dugu Yan.

After all... Dugu Yan had helped him so much.

After returning, it was still a family dinner without Ning Rongrong, and the atmosphere remained silent to the extreme.

Then, after Ning Feiliu returned to his room, he opened his Soul Guidance Device.

That task was still displayed on the Soul Guidance Device—【Completely disassemble the Space Soul Guidance Device Precious Wonder Pouch to obtain the manufacturing method for Soul Guidance Devices.】

Ning Feiliu forcibly suppressed the urge to take apart the Soul Guidance Device and took out the books inside one by one.

Given the current situation, cultivating soul power probably wouldn't have much effect.

It would be better to finish grinding for experience first...

However, he still really wanted to be able to increase his soul power quickly; if only there were a technique like the Mysterious Heaven Skill of the Tang God King...

Just as he was thinking this, a line of small text suddenly appeared before his eyes again.

【Accept moonlight and cultivate continuously for one hour to obtain the Moonlight Breathing Method.】

"Moonlight Breathing Method?" Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, but he soon realized.

"Could it be... is this a cultivation technique similar to the Tang God King's Mysterious Heaven Skill?!"

His eyes filled with excitement, and he immediately ran out of his room and looked up at the moon in the sky.

At this moment, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse; the clouds had drifted away from the moon, and the bright moonlight spilled over the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like clear silver dew.

Ning Feiliu sat down right where he was and immediately began his soul power cultivation.

But it had to be said that cultivating outside the room as the temperature dropped was still somewhat difficult.

Ning Feiliu felt the cold constantly encroaching upon his body, but he endured it, and finally...

When the one-hour time limit was reached, that line of small text shattered directly, transforming into a unique cultivation technique that poured into Ning Feiliu's mind.

Ning Feiliu opened his eyes in surprise, "Moonlight Breathing Method! I've got it!"
