Chapter 273: Rhapsody of the Soul Guidance Device

Hearing these words from Dugu Yan, Ning Feiliu was somewhat uncertain.

In truth, he had never had a precise concept of his own charm, as he had spent many years in his previous life as an average, slightly above-average man.

Although his physique had always been good due to his practice of Eight Extremities Fist, it was indeed not as genetically gifted as the body he possessed in this world.

Therefore, even though he had seen that the body he occupied in this life had a handsome face, and he had encountered many girls casting amorous glances at him while traveling through the Northern Territory,

he still subconsciously assumed his charm was merely average.

He had no idea that his current family background, strength, appearance, and temperament were all top-tier.

Not to mention the affinity granted by the Green God series of quests.

He was a super succubus that would make any woman who looked at him unable to stop herself from getting wet.

The reason Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were willing to die for him after spending only a little over a year together

was partly because people and Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent were quite pure and suffered from terminal cases of "love-brain."

On the other hand, it was because Ning Feiliu, who possessed the 【Blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod】, had become even more charming.

To Spirit Masters with water or ice attributes, he was a succubus full of temptation.

Thus, although Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had only spent a year with him, they had already reached a level of deep affection where they would pledge their lives to him.

And while Ye Lingling was not a water or ice attribute Spirit Master, the time she had spent with Ning Feiliu was longer than that of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er...

This resulted in her feelings for Ning Feiliu being no less profound than those of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Moreover, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had fallen for Ning Feiliu resolutely even while knowing he already had a sweetheart, Dugu Yan.

Was Ye Lingling any different?

Her sense of guilt was even heavier than that of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who considered themselves latecomers.

Because Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er did not actually know Dugu Yan, but Ye Lingling was Dugu Yan's good friend.

For her to still have feelings for her friend's fiancé, given her personality, she would certainly feel guilty toward Dugu Yan, rather than having the kind of personality that would think about how to get rid of Dugu Yan to monopolize Ning Feiliu.

But Ning Feiliu was still uncertain; with the mindset of his previous life, he still felt that no one would be willing to share their partner.

Yet he forgot that this was the Douluo Continent, a Douluo Continent still in the feudal era, where imperial rule, empires, and the aristocratic system still existed, and it was completely different from the constitutional monarchies of his previous life where kings and nobles existed in name only.

The emperor and the nobles still held real, powerful authority; the emperor still had his three palaces and six courtyards, and with the subordinates following the example of their superiors, many families still held the tradition of having three wives and four concubines.

Therefore, although the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent seemed to practice monogamy, in reality, harems and concubines still existed.

"I'll try," Ning Feiliu said uncertainly, "If Lingling is unwilling, then forget it."

"Lingling will definitely be very happy," Dugu Yan said with a smile, "However..."

She suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "You must compensate me well; to think you let another woman get there first, I'm at such a loss."

Ning Feiliu was caught between laughter and tears, not knowing what to say.

However, Dugu Yan pouted her lips again and signaled to him, "Don't speak, kiss me!"

"Alright." Ning Feiliu hugged Dugu Yan again, and they kissed passionately...

After the two of them finished their suffocating and enchanting intimate kissing, Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan were finally satisfied.

The two continued on their way to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The castle where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located had changed after just two years.

It was mainly more luxurious, as they had made a fortune in recent years due to various Alchemy Potions and Mysterious Water Pills.

With their original annual income of ten million Gold Soul Coins, their revenue had doubled or tripled, so naturally, it was even more extravagant and grand.

The treatment of sect disciples had also improved; in addition to the usual Gold Soul Coin subsidies, there were also extra benefits of Mysterious Water Pills and Alchemy Potions.

The treatment for recruiting outer sect disciples to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had also improved; originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could only rely on money to attract outer sect disciples.

But sometimes, money was not omnipotent.

Some genius Spirit Masters might be self-respecting, like Flender or Zhao Wuji, and disdain being driven by others for the sake of money.

Therefore, the Gold Soul Coin benefits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sometimes really did not amount to much.

But the Mysterious Water Pills and those potions that could also help increase soul power and mental strength were different...

To a Spirit Master, that was a fatal temptation!

It could be said that some Spirit Masters might not care about money, and some might not care about power, but the vast majority of Spirit Masters cared about their own strength and cultivation!

This was the foundation of a Spirit Master's standing; only by becoming stronger was the royal road.

Pills like the Mysterious Water Pill, which could defy the heavens and change one's fate by improving talent, made many people flock to them.

Moreover, a single Mysterious Water Pill cost twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins; at that price, it could be said to extinguish any thought a civilian Spirit Master might have of purchasing one with Gold Soul Coins.

But as long as one joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had outstanding talent, or made contributions or accumulated seniority for the sect, one could receive a Mysterious Water Pill for free.

This was also a stated benefit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Although one could not get a Mysterious Water Pill immediately upon joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—after all, this was to prevent others from cheating and leaving the sect after successfully obtaining one—

there was still a great chance of obtaining a Mysterious Water Pill.

And other benefits, such as the Soul Power Recovery Potion that increased the speed of soul power cultivation, were basic benefits that everyone could receive upon joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Outside, this Soul Power Recovery Potion sold for four Gold Soul Coins!

Ordinary Spirit Masters would not dare to be too extravagant even when using it for cultivation, only buying one or two bottles a month, or purchasing one to help them break through a bottleneck when they were about to advance.

But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect treated it as a regular benefit, distributing four bottles a month, and additional ones could be purchased for the price of just one Gold Soul Coin per bottle.

This treatment was indeed very good, and with the temptation of the Mysterious Water Pill, along with other benefits combined, the number of outer sect disciples joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had surged significantly over the years.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect originally had over 5,000 inner and outer sect disciples, but over the past few years, the number had surged to 6,000! Of course, the outer sect disciples had increased the most; among those thousand-plus Spirit Masters, one thousand were outer sect disciples.

There was no lack of famous high-level Spirit Masters who brought their families to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Among them were two Soul Douluo powerhouses who brought more than thirty people from their families to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Today's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only had a surge in the number of sect disciples but also an increase in powerhouses; originally, there were only two Title Douluo, fifteen Soul Douluo, and eighty-six Soul Saints. Now, if one counted Dugu Bo, who was a relative by marriage, there were three Title Douluo, seventeen Soul Douluo, and one hundred and two Soul Saints!

Because in addition to the strong Spirit Masters who joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the enhancements of the Mysterious Water Pill and the Soul Power Recovery Potion, and several direct-line Elders and outer-sect Elders themselves had broken through from the Soul Emperor cultivation level to the Soul Saint realm.

It was just that fewer had broken through from the Soul Saint realm to the Soul Douluo realm.

After all, the further one goes, the harder it is to break through.

In a short period, even with the Mysterious Water Pill and potions that increase the speed of soul power cultivation, it is very difficult to help Spirit Masters at the Soul Saint realm break through to Soul Douluo, let alone help Spirit Masters at the Soul Douluo realm break through to Title Douluo.

However, as time goes on, it is not impossible...

One can only say that the time has still been too short.

And the increase in the number of Spirit Masters in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect during this period has made the castle insufficient to house them.

Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect began the path of expansion, and now the area of the castle has increased by another third.

Ning Feiliu had not returned for a long time, and the scene he saw was—

He saw the magnificent castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect standing under the firmament, its spires piercing the clouds like a sword in the sky, declaring the supremacy of its power.

The original castle was built of solid stone, and time had carved mottled marks on its surface, deeply harboring a sense of stability and weight.

Its outer perimeter, however, was the newly built part of the castle, and under the sunlight, the golden city gates shone brilliantly.

The outer walls of the castle were inlaid with exquisite stone carvings, and the patterns revealed a beauty that blended the modern with the classical.

On both sides of the huge archway, stone lions stood guard, their expressions mighty, as if they would leap up at any moment.

In front of the castle gate, a wide square had also been newly built, paved with stone slabs, appearing exceptionally neat and solemn.

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan stepped forward.

"Who goes there! Stop!" the guard on duty at the entrance just shouted.

But at this moment, the Elder who was also patrolling the outer perimeter of the castle saw Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan and quickly stepped forward.

"Do not be rude, this is our sect's Third Young Master and the Pavilion Master of Martial Glazed Pavilion, as well as... Miss Dugu." He clearly recognized Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan and hurriedly said this loudly to the guard who did not recognize them and was clearly a newcomer.

"It's fine, he is also just fulfilling his duty," Ning Feiliu said with a generous smile.

He was different from that "little rat"; he would not make things difficult for others because of such matters.

"Thank you, Young Master." While the guard breathed a sigh of relief, he could not help but quietly size up Ning Feiliu.

After all... Ning Feiliu was a legendary peerless genius in Heaven Dou City and in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! He broke through to Soul Ancestor at thirteen, Soul King at fifteen, created and invented the Mysterious Water Pill and various Alchemy Potions, and there was also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's current supreme cultivation method—the Moonlight Breathing Method.

He truly displayed the word "genius" to the fullest.

"Yes... the Young Master has actually returned, I will go report to the Sect Master and the two Supreme Elders immediately," the Elder said hurriedly.

"Mm, whatever, I'll go in first," Ning Feiliu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Then he and Dugu Yan walked directly into the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At this time, the guards no longer blocked them, but respectfully lowered their heads to welcome Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan.

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan directly ignored the overly respectful attitude of these people, passed through the wide archway of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle, and what first caught their eyes was the brand-new, gorgeous aristocratic hall inside.

A magnificent chandelier hung down from the high ceiling, emitting a soft and warm light that illuminated every corner of the hall.

The hall was also furnished with exquisitely carved marble furniture, engraved with various complex patterns, showing the superb craftsmanship of the artisans.

Hanging on the walls were long-standing oil paintings, every stroke and line revealing the charm of art and the taste of the nobility.

The corridors inside the castle were long and winding, filled with sculptures and porcelain on both sides, each item exuding an ancient aura.

At the end of the corridor was a huge garden, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, fragrant in all four seasons, and fascinating.

The fountain jumped happily in the center of the garden, the water spray sparkling in the sunlight, as dazzling as gemstones.

Every part of the castle revealed the vast wealth and noble status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today.

Delicate murals, exquisite tapestries, expensive porcelain, and tasteful furnishings all showed that this was a place full of luxury and abundance.

The interior of the castle was luxuriously decorated and magnificent. The crystal chandelier in the center of the hall emitted a soft light, illuminating the exquisite wooden floor below.

Hanging on the walls were some oil paintings depicting aristocratic life, every stroke revealing the artist's ingenuity.

Other parts of the castle interior were also lit by torches and the light of rare lighting Soul Guidance Devices, and the entire building was like a golden palace, quietly telling how strong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was today.

In fact, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was indeed becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that the Spirit Hall became even more determined...

To directly destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Just like the Soul Hunting Operation in the original work.

And Ning Feiliu even felt that the blow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might encounter from the Spirit Hall in the future could be even more terrifying.

So he had to take precautions.

For example, he planned to develop new types of Soul Guidance Devices during this rest period in Heaven Dou City.

Then he would have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect mass-produce them, and at that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have decent self-preservation power.

Ning Feiliu hoped to enable the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to be equipped with numerous new Soul Guidance Devices, so that when the Spirit Hall came, not only would they be unable to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but they would also be given a fierce slap in the face before leaving.

Besides offensive Soul Guidance Devices like the Death God Tower, Level 12 Fixed Soul Ammunition, and the Steel Sun Box he currently had on him.

There were also self-preservation Soul Guidance Devices.

Such as special Soul Guidance Devices that sealed abilities like the Soft Bone Rabbit's Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, or the ability to be untargetable by soul skills.

As long as these Soul Guidance Devices were equipped, the Spirit Hall would really have to be slapped in the face before leaving!

Ning Feiliu only thought about these for a moment; he was mostly chatting with Dugu Yan.

And after a few minutes, he heard a familiar voice.

"Feiliu! Yanyan!"

Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan turned to look, and Ning Fengzhi was walking toward them with the Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Mingrui, Ning Shouzong, Ning Rongrong, and the rest of the family.
