Chapter 53: Martial Soul Forging

This Immortal Herb, although it does not have much screen time in Douluo I, among the many Immortal Herbs, it seems it cannot compare to the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, nor can it compare to the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Item.

If one has only watched Douluo I, one probably only remembers that this is an Immortal Herb capable of allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, to improve its quality into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

But Ning Feiliu knows very clearly that the Qiluo Tulip, this Immortal Herb, actually holds the title of Immortal Herb King in Douluo III: Dragon King Legend!

This means the Qiluo Tulip is not an ordinary Immortal Herb; at the very least, it is far better than middle-tier Immortal Herbs like the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, or the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Ning Feiliu directly plucked this Immortal Herb, then slowly sucked on the pistil, and finally swallowed the entire Qiluo Tulip into his stomach.

While sucking on the pistil, he felt a powerful medicinal effect surge within his body, which then directly stimulated him to release his martial soul!

One could see the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, shining with seven-colored halos, floating quietly in front of him; amidst the flickering of a yellow Soul Ring, it was set off by a layer of rich golden light.

This golden light was released from Ning Feiliu himself, carrying a rich scent of tulips.

Ning Feiliu immediately, without a word, plunged directly into the Cold Extreme Yin Spring, and at the same time, began to circulate the Moonlight Breathing Method!

Gradually, under the medicinal effect of the Qiluo Tulip, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda seemed to slowly condense an eighth level, followed by a ninth level.

After finishing, Dugu Bo then said with satisfaction, "Such a person, not content with the status quo, not confined to walking the old paths of predecessors... but instead turning to forge his own path, very good... very good!"

"Grandpa doesn't know either." Dugu Bo shook his head and said with a smile, "After all, this is a method this kid figured out himself; it can be called unheard of and unseen, he is the first person on this Douluo Dalu!"

"Grandpa... has Feiliu's martial soul seemingly grown two more levels? And it feels like the aura has completely changed." Dugu Yan said curiously at this moment, "Can a martial soul really be changed again after birth?"

At the same time, moonlight continuously entered Ning Feiliu's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, turning the originally magnificent and graceful pagoda into something like a Lonely Moon Cold Pagoda bathed in silver frost.

Whether it is Pharmacology or the world of Spirit Masters, it should actually be like this.

The Moonlight Breathing Method continuously pulled and swayed the moonlight from the sky, entering into Ning Feiliu's... martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

"This kid... is really not simple." Dugu Bo looked at the changes happening to Ning Feiliu's martial soul and body, and couldn't help but say.

At the same time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was also quietly undergoing changes, and was even reflecting the moonlight in all directions.

In an instant, the bright moonlight scattered all over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as if it had been covered in a layer of silver frost.

It could be called the full moon shining in silence, with moonlight filling the sky!

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "What? Is this a method Feiliu thought of himself?"

"It was all thought of by Feiliu himself?" Dugu Yan said curiously, "Didn't Feiliu say he saw it in an ancient book from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Library?"

"Perhaps the matter of the ancient book is true, but this matter of using the blood of someone who has swallowed two Immortal Herbs as a medicinal primer to concoct a detoxifying pill." Dugu Bo shook his head with a smile and said, "That was thought of by this kid himself; after all, this Jade Phosphor Snake Poison of mine that backlashes against my own body had never appeared before. If there really were such a method to successfully detoxify, how could I not know?"

"It is also written in this kid's experimental notes that under the influence of extreme heat and extreme cold, the activity of the toxins in my body would decrease, which is why he thought of this method."

"These are all methods this kid thought of after conducting experiments and then seeing these two Immortal Herbs in the ancient book."

"It's not just this Martial Soul Forging Method, but also this cultivation method, and even the way he treats me... they were all thought of by this kid himself." Dugu Bo looked at Ning Feiliu in the Cold Extreme Yin Spring and said with a meaningful smile.

Otherwise, by always following the rules without any change, the Douluo Dalu would only ever mark time in place.

Dugu Bo had noticed this point after seeing Ning Feiliu's experimental notes.

It was just that he had misunderstood; although Ning Feiliu also possessed a spirit of daring to innovate, what he was walking was merely an old path that countless people in another different world had already proven could succeed.

And in the Cold Extreme Yin Spring, the process of Ning Feiliu absorbing the Qiluo Tulip and using its effect to draw moonlight into his martial soul, the "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," lasted for a full two hours.

In the state where the Qiluo Tulip could briefly make the martial soul "malleable," the material of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda also gradually underwent a transformation.

From the original gemstone glaze, it gradually transformed into a dull substance shimmering with silver luster...

This is... Moon Stone!

The forging material for the powerful weapons of the Moon Sect in League of Legends—Moon Stone!

The moment the martial soul's material completely turned into Moon Stone, Ning Feiliu leaped directly out of the water and jumped into the Hot Extreme Yang Spring on the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

At the same time, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which had been transformed into Moon Stone material, also plunged into the extremely hot spring water!

What Ning Feiliu felt first, however, was... a wave of intense pain striking his mind.

This was... his martial soul having suddenly come from an extremely cold environment into an extremely hot environment; between the alternation of cold and heat, the martial soul faintly appeared as if it were shattering!

But...

This was exactly what Ning Feiliu intended.

He unified his mind and spirit, and his spiritual power instantly condensed into a hammer, striking the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that was about to shatter!

This is the Spirit Condensation Technique included in the 【Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method】!

It can condense one's own spiritual power into an object of any form!

"Clang—"

A deafening sound erupted from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Ning Feiliu continued to use the great hammer condensed from spiritual power to strike at the martial soul; right under the terrifying high temperature of the Hot Extreme Yang Spring, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shattered instantly!

Then it split into nine rays of precious light, circling around Ning Feiliu.

The martial soul and the Spirit Master are of one heart and mind, especially for a Tool Spirit; once a Tool Spirit shatters, it causes huge trauma to the Spirit Master's spirit.

Now, every hammer blow that landed on Ning Feiliu's martial soul felt as if it had landed directly on his head.

Ning Feiliu felt like he was about to faint, but fortunately, the recovery effect of the Moonlight Breathing Method and the incomplete Resurrection Rune in his body played a role once again!

He endured the intense pain coming from his head, and his spiritual power changed again, turning into a large hand that grabbed one of the nine rays of precious light from the shattered Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and then began to mold it.

Finally, a jade-green "long spear" landed beside Ning Feiliu.

Then the spiritual power hand grabbed another blood-red ray of precious light and began to mold it...

Finally, a crescent-shaped blood-red short blade landed beside Ning Feiliu.

Then came a dark purple ray of precious light.

A peculiar weapon with a dull purple sphere then landed beside the blood-red short blade.

Next was a fluorescent blue ray of precious light.

It was molded into a peculiar "crossbow," which landed beside the dark purple sphere weapon.

And finally, there was a pale white ray of precious light.

A pale precious wheel with blades on both sides landed beside the crossbow.
