Chapter 101

……

Suotuo City.

After understanding the general situation from Bibi Dong, Nan Feng first went to help the overdrawn Yang Wudi recover. Of course, the effect wasn't great.

Although the Horse Talisman can cure all diseases, its essence is to eliminate abnormal influences caused by external forces in the body, restore the diseased body to a normal healthy constitution, expel all viruses and miscellaneous illnesses from the body to completely heal the holder, and quickly remove any pain and injuries from the body.

But Yang Wudi's situation belonged to overdrawing his life; the life that had already passed away did not belong to a disease, and even the power of the Horse Talisman could not bring it back.

Regarding this matter, Yang Wudi himself didn't care much. On the contrary, he cared more about the result that he had successfully refined those immortal herbs; his family's medicinal refining techniques had finally witnessed a peak.

Although the price of reaching the peak was his old life, Yang Wudi didn't regret it. As a medicinal refiner, being able to refine that level of pills, Yang Wudi was proud of it.

Nan Feng could only express respect for this. With Yang Wudi's personality, pity would instead be an insult to him.

After seeing Yang Wudi, Nan Feng sought out Ning Fengzhi again, intending to discuss with him the matter of having the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect help search for treasures. After all, this matter could only be done by the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul.

Originally, Nan Feng intended to use helping Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolve as a price to stimulate Ning Fengzhi, but he received the news that Ning Rongrong had run away from home.

Because he had been in seclusion all these years, and Ning Fengzhi had always maintained vigilance toward him, Ning Rongrong had been fooled by him for a while when she was young, and later she often clamored to go to Wuhun City to find him to play. Ning Fengzhi naturally couldn't agree to such a thing.

And as time went on, the little princess's rebellious heart grew heavier. The more Ning Fengzhi forbade it, the more Ning Rongrong wanted to find him, and in the past few years, she had snuck away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more than once, running to Tiandou City to find Dugu Yan.

Because his seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was top secret, and even the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself was a secret, Dugu Yan didn't tell Ning Rongrong the truth, and every time Ning Rongrong was caught back by Ning Fengzhi in Tiandou City.

This time, Ning Rongrong had a big argument with Ning Fengzhi again because of cultivation, and she ran away from home directly. Even Gu Rong and Chen Xin couldn't persuade her.

"So many old schemers in the Heaven Dou Empire have fallen into his hands, yet he can't even handle a little girl."

Nan Feng really didn't understand Ning Fengzhi's helplessness regarding Ning Rongrong.

Could it be because she's his own daughter, and concern leads to chaos? Not necessarily, right?

The Star Luo Zhu family looked at their own daughters very coldly. Whether it was Zhu Zhuyun or Zhu Zhuqing, to their father, the Duke of Nether, they were merely tools to maintain the marriage relationship with the Dai family.

When there was competition, no matter who won or lost, who lived or died, the Duke of Nether didn't care; anyway, the Empress was from the Zhu family.

Even if Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing both died, it wouldn't be a big deal for the Zhu family. Spirit Masters have strong reproductive capabilities, or rather, male reproductive capabilities can basically be maintained until the moment they ascend.

At worst, they can just give birth to more.

The Dai family had a similar attitude and didn't care about the life or death of their own children at all.

But these sects, as far as he knew, still cared a lot about family affection. Even those without talent wouldn't be abandoned, and even if they were disliked in words, the most basic life without worries was guaranteed.

If one had to say where the root of this difference lay...

It could only be said that one side was family, and the other side was work.

Sects linked by blood, no matter how messy, were still family, but the royal family linked by political interests simply didn't have such a relationship as family affection.

Sovereign and subject, father and son—first sovereign and subject, then father and son.

They were first political opponents, then blood relatives.

"If you want to find Ning Rongrong, wouldn't it be enough to just have someone bring her back? Why do you have to come in person?" Zhu Zhuyun asked suspiciously. "Finding her is just a side task," Nan Feng said.

Xiao Wu and A Rou sent word that they had already arrived in Suotuo City.

Although under the offensive of A Rou and Xiao Wu for so many years, they successfully obtained the diagrams of the hidden weapons in Tang San's hands, the most important Xuantian Treasure Record, Tang San still kept his mouth shut until now.

After all, although hidden weapons were powerful, wanting to manufacture them was not a simple matter. In Tang San's eyes, Xiao Wu and A Rou were just interested in those strange things; even if he gave them the blueprints, it wouldn't have any meaning.

Anyway, they couldn't build them.

Top-tier hidden weapons were not only extremely difficult to manufacture, but materials were also a big problem.

But other Tang Sect martial arts were different. Martial arts like Xuantian Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Purple Demon Eye—if one obtained the cultivation method, everyone could practice them.

Especially Xuantian Skill. If his assumption was correct, that thing could even allow people without innate spirit power to cultivate spirit power!

After all, the description of Xuantian Skill was "endless and boundless," and the highest realm could manifest the phenomenon of "Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown."

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown"—isn't this clearly Taoist inner alchemy cultivation?

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into void—which is what the masses know as refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into void! Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Qis Originating at the Source! The world Tang San was in before, because there was no such thing as heaven and earth spiritual power, could only cultivate inner strength, so very few people could practice Xuantian Skill.

He had also heard an old Taoist priest brag a few times that the most important thing in cultivation was to find the "Qi Sense."

It should be a special kind of energy. The mortal world didn't have such things as heaven and earth spiritual power, so finding the Qi Sense was very difficult.

But anyone who has read novels about spiritual energy recovery knows that in a world with abundant spiritual energy, the number of people who can cultivate increases significantly. The energy in the environment is abundant, and finding the Qi Sense becomes simpler.

If Xuantian Skill could be popularized, the humans of the Douluo Continent wouldn't need to wait for millions of years of evolution!

The universalization of Spirit Masters could push the progress of the era faster!

"You aren't planning to fool that Tang family brat, are you?" Hu Liena looked strange.

She understood the mission regarding Xiao Wu and A Rou. After all, she was responsible for the intelligence transfer for this part, and whatever Xiao Wu wanted in that poor, remote Notting City was also her responsibility to procure, so Xiao Wu told her many things, and she naturally knew where those strange things came from.

"No such plan," Nan Feng shook his head.

Tang San's situation was special. On one hand, he might have a relationship with the Asura God, and the risk was too great.

On the other hand, Tang San himself couldn't be fooled.

What kind of person is Tang Xiao San?

A person who, in a ghostly place like the Tang Sect, as an outer disciple, climbed and crawled for decades—his tenacity of character was unimaginable! A person who climbed from the darkness to see the light—his thoughts were almost impossible to be shaken by external forces! Tang San was not one of those muddled people; his judgment and execution were very strong. Just take the plot that everyone mocked, where Tang San took Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.

One second thinking about killing someone, the next second he could kneel down and take them as his teacher.

Tang San's brain was very clear; he had his own judgment and could execute his judgment extremely decisively.

Such a person, how could he be shaken? The risk of fooling Tang San was too great, the difficulty was too high, and for him, this matter didn't have much value. As long as Xiao Wu could squeeze what he needed out of Tang San, that was enough.
