Chapter 276: Soul Guidance Device Craftsmanship

Following this, Ning Feiliu began to research new types of Soul Guidance Devices, just as he had previously discussed with Ning Fengzhi.

First, he designed and forged four new types of Soul Guidance Devices using the divine artifact craftsmanship bestowed by the 【Blessing of the Forged Demigod】.

The first type is a Soul Guidance Device that can provide a soul power barrier, soul power enhancement, healing, and other effects—the Moonstone Regenerator.

Its principle is based first on the special material known as Moon Stone, which stores the healing power within moonlight, and secondly, it is combined and forged using the core of a Soul Beast like the Diamond Tiger, which possesses the ability to enhance one's own soul skills.

The second type of Soul Guidance Device is the one mentioned before, a special device that carries a soul skill like Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body.

It is the "Explorer Bracer," created by combining the core of a Soft Bone Rabbit with rare metals that can strengthen defense.

The third type of Soul Guidance Device is the "Regenerative Rabbit Shoes," also created by using the Soft Bone Rabbit's Teleportation soul skill as the core and combining it with rare metals used for Space Soul Guidance Devices.

The fourth type of Soul Guidance Device is the "Phoenix Snake Wings," a flight-type Soul Guidance Device created by using the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent's flight soul skill as the core and combining it with lightweight metals.

One could say that self-preservation has been pushed to the extreme, though that is not entirely true, as there were already the Steel Sun Box and the Sun Box before this.

Both of those can be used for counterattacks and offense.

However, for the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they do not need to take the initiative to attack; they only need to ensure their own survival.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu went to great pains to design and manufacture numerous Soul Guidance Devices with maxed-out self-preservation capabilities specifically for the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, in order to counter the future Soul Hunting Operation of the Spirit Hall.

At the same time, he triggered a large number of missions as a result—

【Create five Soul Guidance Devices to obtain three years of Talis Jayce's experience.】

【Create ten Soul Guidance Devices to obtain five years of Talis Jayce's experience.】

……

【Engrave one thousand spatial array seals to obtain the manufacturing craftsmanship for the Hextech Gate.】

……

【Engrave five thousand spatial array seals to obtain the manufacturing craftsmanship for the Hextech Crystal.】

……

【Analyze biological entities one thousand times to obtain fifty years of Viktor's scientific research experience.】

……

Thus, Ning Feiliu began to get busy, but he did not do the work himself; instead, he had the Elders and disciples of the Wuliu Pavilion help him complete the missions.

He had now discovered that these types of missions actually had bugs, except for those that specifically required him to be thanked, or required his personal assistance and personal execution.

Otherwise, these vaguely worded missions could all be completed by having him delegate the work to others.

So, he began to have them help him complete the missions under the guise of teaching them the craftsmanship of making Soul Guidance Devices at the Wuliu Pavilion.

The disciples and Elders of the Wuliu Pavilion, and even Ning Fengzhi and the others, were naturally very happy.

After all... this was the long-lost craftsmanship of making Soul Guidance Devices! This was also an exclusively monopolized business; doubling the income of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be no problem at all!

Therefore, they were all quite willing to follow Ning Feiliu and learn.

It was not just the disciples and Elders of the Wuliu Pavilion who were willing; other disciples and Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also very much wanted to follow Ning Feiliu and learn.

But unfortunately, they were not disciples or Elders of the Wuliu Pavilion.

Now, these disciples and Elders of the Wuliu Pavilion were overjoyed; when they first heard Ning Fengzhi say they were to join the Wuliu Pavilion, they were still...

Uh, they were actually quite happy at the time, too.

After all, the talent Ning Feiliu displayed gave the impression that he was the future unique Supreme Direct Elder successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they were all happy to be closer to the future direct Supreme Elder.

Now they discovered that becoming subordinates of the Wuliu Pavilion was even more profitable than they had imagined.

After all, having an extra skill meant extra income, but for them, it wasn't just a little extra income—it was a lot! Not only were Gold Soul Coins not in short supply, but those cultivation resources were also provided in abundance for their families and descendants.

They could also pass these skills down to their future descendants, inheriting them for generations; of course, it was incredibly profitable.

Ning Feiliu naturally did not know the thoughts of these Wuliu Pavilion disciples and Elders; he was simply very gratified that these people were working hard and helping him complete the missions quickly.

At the same time, he also had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect capture large numbers of Diamond Tigers, Soft Bone Rabbits, and Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpents to become subjects for his research and experiments.

For a full month, he remained immersed in research and in teaching the Elders and disciples of the Wuliu Pavilion how to make Soul Guidance Devices (while they completed the missions for him).

And with the efforts of the Wuliu Pavilion's Elders and disciples, and the fact that he had also made quite a few Soul Guidance Devices during the teaching process.

Soon, one mission after another was completed, transforming into pure knowledge or experience that fell into his mind.

Thus, Ning Feiliu first manufactured the Hextech Crystal; in "Arcane," this was essentially a magic crystal, but it had been controlled by Jayce using scientific means and made into a stable energy crystal that anyone could use.

Thinking of this, he became somewhat restless and wanted to build the "Hextech Gate" that could quickly traverse space.

With a spatial teleportation device, it would be incredibly convenient.

However, he still temporarily dismissed this idea; for now, it was better to focus on manufacturing those Soul Guidance Devices, as the Hextech Gate was still too early.

Moreover, this thing called the Hextech Gate was a massive weapon of war; unless it was all his own faction, he wouldn't be allowed to install it just anywhere.

For example, if a gate were built from Star Luo City to the outskirts of Heaven Dou City, the Star Luo Empire's army could strike directly at Emperor Xue Ye, and that would be the end of it.

Therefore, it was better not to let others know about this matter for now.

Then, another month passed, and Ning Feiliu finally used the combined experience and wisdom of Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, and Ornn, as well as the Moon Magic knowledge of the Moon Sect and the Undead Forbidden Arts knowledge of Mordekaiser, while having conducted a large number of experiments.

He successfully separated the special power known as the "Soul Skill Core" from the bodies of Soul Beasts by simulating the way human Spirit Masters absorb "Soul Rings."

The Diamond Tiger's "Enhancement Core," the Soft Bone Rabbit's "Invincible Golden Body Core" and "Teleportation Core," and the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent's "Illusionary Wings Core."

These Soul Skill Cores could trigger soul skills by stimulating the soul power stored in the Hextech Crystal, just like a Spirit Master using a Soul Ring.

With the Soul Skill Cores successfully extracted, the subsequent manufacturing of Soul Guidance Devices would be simple.

Just as Ning Feiliu continued to be immersed in the ocean of knowledge and research, intending to start working on the production of these Soul Guidance Devices.

An unexpected guest arrived.

"Sister Yan, why are you here..." When Ning Feiliu saw the person who had arrived, the impatience he felt at being interrupted vanished completely.

He hurriedly offered a smile, though inwardly he was annoyed with himself for being too obsessed with scientific research, which had led him to neglect the feelings of his girlfriend, Dugu Yan.

After all, he had been away from Dugu Yan for nearly two years, and now that he was back, they hadn't even seen each other in those two months.

It was no wonder Dugu Yan was angry and couldn't take it anymore.

On the contrary, the fact that she hadn't come to make things difficult for Ning Feiliu for over two months could already be considered reasonable.

Ning Feiliu even felt a bit guilty.

They were clearly in the same city, and the place was quite close; what kind of nonsense was it to not go see one's girlfriend for two months?

Just as Ning Feiliu was preparing to face Dugu Yan's fury...

However, Dugu Yan hummed a few times and said, "Did you forget something?"

"I was wrong, Sister Yan." Ning Feiliu was just about to honestly admit his mistake.

But Dugu Yan looked at him again and said, "Did you forget the thing we talked about before?"

"The thing we talked about before?" Ning Feiliu immediately tried hard to recall, but he couldn't think of anything. "Lingling!" Dugu Yan reminded him through gritted teeth.

"Ah? Lingling..." Ning Feiliu finally remembered.

After he confessed to Dugu Yan about Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, Dugu Yan had suggested that he also take in Ye Lingling, who had always liked him.

He felt this matter was inappropriate, but Dugu Yan told him to try confessing.

But Ning Feiliu had first immersed himself in Soul Guidance Device experiments and temporarily forgot about this.

Now that Dugu Yan mentioned it, he finally remembered.

However, Ning Feiliu hesitated again at this moment and said, "But... this isn't good, let's just forget it."

"Why forget it?" Dugu Yan pouted and hummed, saying, "Isn't Lingling good? Don't you like her? You can like other women, why can't you like Lingling?"

"Lingling is very beautiful..." Ning Feiliu thought of Ye Lingling's stunningly beautiful face at this moment and said.

"Then that's it! Go confess quickly! That fellow Yu Tianheng also has ideas about Lingling." Dugu Yan said anxiously again, "But it's obvious that Lingling likes you and doesn't want to agree to Yu Tianheng!"

"Then... alright." Under her repeated urging, Ning Feiliu had no choice but to say helplessly.

Then he and Dugu Yan walked out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect together, but their destination was... the medical clinic that Ning Feiliu had once opened.

The medical clinic still looked exactly as it had before, but huge changes had occurred in the vicinity of the clinic.

Those buildings had changed, becoming ones that Ning Feiliu didn't even recognize.

Only that familiar medical clinic made him certain that he and Dugu Yan had indeed not gone to the wrong place.

People came and went on the street in front of the door, an endless stream; some were worried, some were full of gratitude, and they looked at the medical clinic with hearts full of respect.

Before even walking into the clinic, the sound of conversation from inside the clinic reached them directly.

"This medicine, take it internally and apply it externally when you get back... for three days, the wound must not touch water."

"Many thanks, Doctor Ye! Many thanks, Doctor Ye!"

"This is a fever and headache, you need these herbs, go pick them; also, it costs one Copper Soul Coin."

"Alright, many thanks, Doctor Ye!"

"This is food poisoning caused by eating unclean food; vomit it out clearly, then just take this medicine."

Ye Lingling's familiar voice and the patients' successive replies made Ning Feiliu feel somewhat emotional.

"You kept letting Lingling run this medical clinic, and Lingling has been keeping it open," Dugu Yan hummed a few times and said, "So you big blockhead, even like this, you don't know Lingling's feelings for you?"

Ning Feiliu was somewhat helpless; his initial intention was just to let Ye Lingling use his medical clinic to practice, learning from each other and studying his medical knowledge.

In reality, he thought that once Ye Lingling had mastered the medical knowledge he left behind, she would close this clinic.

It could probably be closed in about two or three years.

He didn't expect Ye Lingling to have kept it open until now...

It was as if this medical clinic of Ning Feiliu's had become her obsession, her longing for Ning Feiliu.

In fact, it was indeed so; every late night, Ye Lingling often wouldn't even return home, but would sleep on the bed in the back courtyard of Ning Feiliu's clinic.

Feeling the temperature and scent from when Ning Feiliu once rested here, Ye Lingling was quite intoxicated.

Ning Feiliu was also helpless; one could say there was ambiguity... but this result was indeed caused by him.

"Is... is that Feiliu?"

Just at this moment, Ning Feiliu's figure standing in front of the medical clinic was seen by Ye Lingling; her heartbeat skipped a beat, and then she asked.

"Quick... go in." Dugu Yan whispered to Ning Feiliu.

Then she hid directly outside the clinic door, letting the clinic block her figure.

She had been very careful just now and did not let Ye Lingling see her.

Ning Feiliu was even more helpless; this was his first time seeing... someone push their own boyfriend to another woman.

This was probably the benefit of the feudal era.

Ning Feiliu's previous worries as a modern person were completely unnecessary.

"Feiliu?" Ye Lingling finally saw Ning Feiliu's figure clearly at this time and asked again in confusion.

"Mm... it's me." Ning Feiliu immediately stepped inside.

Then many patients began to discuss him.

Four years was a long time, many patients couldn't recognize him, and many were even new patients.

As for some old patients, they couldn't help but be stunned because Ning Feiliu's head of black hair had turned white.

But there were still some who recognized him.

"Isn't this Doctor Ning?!" An old grandfather suddenly shouted happily, "How did Doctor Ning change into a different person? I almost didn't recognize him; Doctor Ning has grown taller, and this hair, how is it even whiter than mine?"

"Ah, this... some changes occurred." Ning Feiliu smiled at the old grandfather and said.

He was still quite respectful to the elderly and kind to the young, and after so long, the fact that someone could still recognize him made him feel somewhat moved inside.

"Is it really Doctor Ning?" Others also began to discuss, asking in surprise and uncertainty.

"It's definitely Doctor Ning! Look at this face, it's the same as before! This nose is still so prominent!"

"It really is Doctor Ning! This is just wonderful, though Doctor Ning has truly become more handsome! And taller too!"

"Doctor Ning, where have you been for so long? I feel like I haven't seen you for two or three years!"

Those patients who recognized Ning Feiliu greeted him excitedly.

Ning Feiliu responded to them one by one.

However, there were also many new patients, or rather, patients who only recognized Ye Lingling.

"Doctor Ning? Who is he?"

"Could he be Doctor Ye's boyfriend? This..."

"No way... hasn't Doctor Ye always been without a boyfriend?"

"Don't... my heart is going to break."

"Let me help you dispense the medicine." After finishing his greetings, Ning Feiliu smiled and said this to Ye Lingling.

"Okay." Ye Lingling lowered her head shyly and said softly.
