Chapter 16: First Soul Technique

Li Xuan released soul power again, Nine Hearts Nine Flame Lotus emitted a burst of yellow light, the lights gathered into a yellow halo, which then expanded, passed over the Nine Hearts Nine Flame Lotus, and enveloped Li Xuan within it.

Before he could sigh, Li Xuan felt a force from the soul halo pouring into his body, and suddenly a flash of insight appeared out of nowhere.

"Burning Heart Enlighten Soul, Control God Astonish Wisdom, First Soul Technique, Burning Heart Seal!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but utter it, then he pressed his palms together to form a seal, and a Light Seal the size of a golden‑red fist appeared in his hand.

"Go!"

Li Xuan shouted angrily, thrust his palm forward, and the Light Seal flew out of his hand, landing directly on a nearby wall.

Boom!

The already shaky Mao Cao Wu could not withstand Li Xuan's onslaught, Boom— it collapsed…

A few minutes later, the dust settled, leaving only a field of broken walls and ruins on the ground.

Li Xuan was also crushed beneath the Mao Cao Wu.

After a while, Li Xuan exhausted a great deal of effort before he managed to crawl out of the heap of Mao Cao Wu.

He flicked his head, sending a cloud of dust.

"Good fellow, this thing is really powerful, it just blew my house down," Li Xuan said irritably while patting the dust off himself.

Li Xuan hadn't expected the Burning Heart Seal to be this strong! Then he glanced at the Flower Seedlings in the Courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately the Mao Cao Wu's collapse didn't affect those seedlings, otherwise Li Xuan would have been busy for the next few days.

Li Xuan sighed helplessly, stepped out of the ruins, and since the weather was fine, even sleeping outdoors for a few nights wouldn't cause a chill, so there was no rush to repair the Mao Cao Wu.

He brushed the dust off, went to the Courtyard, sat down, and began recalling the exact effects of the First Soul Technique.

"First Soul Technique is not only a ranged attack, it's also a marking attack; anyone marked by the Burning Heart Seal within a kilometer can have their emotions triggered by the Burning Heart Divine Flame. Not bad, not bad, but the Soul Curse is a bit…" Li Xuan, after all, is a normal person, and before a fight he has to shout, "This is too shameful."

But thinking that on Douluo Continent fights are always like this, Li Xuan let it go.

On Douluo Continent, not shouting a line before a fight is somewhat out of place.

Suddenly Li Xuan thought of the plants in his room, smacked his forehead, and hurriedly began rummaging through the ruins.

Fortunately Li Xuan's luck held; both Kongming Grass and Bread Grass were unharmed, otherwise Li Xuan would have been in big trouble.

After settling those plants, Li Xuan stopped paying attention to the ruins ahead, exchanged points for boxes of meals, and began eating.

After a while, full and satisfied, Li Xuan got busy again.

He started transferring the already grown Flower Seedlings from the seedling containers into Flower Pots.

Thus Li Xuan was busy the whole day, and only stopped his work when the sun set.

In an afternoon, Li Xuan transplanted just over a hundred seedlings, with about six hundred remaining; in another two or three days he should be able to finish.

Next, he will deliver these seedlings back into the hands of the Flower Slaves, and Li Xuan's task of cultivating exotic plants is considered complete.

Suddenly Li Xuan's stomach growled again.

"Didn't I eat at noon? Why am I hungry again…" Li Xuan said helplessly; his stomach really was uncooperative.

Resigned, Li Xuan could only turn his gaze to the nearby Bread Grass.

That Bread Grass had been in Li Xuan's possession for several days, but he had been busy cultivating Burning Heart Golden Chrysanthemum, so he hadn't had time to tend the Bread Grass.

Now that the First Soul Halo has been absorbed, the cultivation of other Heavenly Material Earth Treasure and Immortal Grade items is not urgent, so the Green Spirit Liquid produced by the little green bottle can be used on the Bread Grass.

Watching the sunset, Li Xuan went to the Bread Grass's Flower Pot, fetched an Old Actor Pot, and diluted the Green Spirit Liquid simply.

The Bread Grass description said it bears fruit in ten days, so a full drop of Green Spirit Liquid isn't needed; it can be used after dilution.

Li Xuan held the water‑filled pot, tilted it slightly, and a drop of Green Spirit Liquid fell onto the Bread Grass. In the blink of an eye the Bread Grass grew from palm‑size to half a meter tall, and beneath its emerald large leaves six fruits kept enlarging until each was the size of a basketball, then stopped.

Six basketball‑sized fruits hung on the slender branches.

Li Xuan hurriedly harvested all six fruits, fearing that a slow hand would crush the Bread Grass's stems.

However, to Li Xuan's surprise, after all six Bread Fruits were harvested, the Bread Grass quickly withered and turned into soul power, dissipating into the air.

"The seed of this Bread Grass is single‑use," Li Xuan scratched his head and said helplessly.

He had thought he wouldn't worry about bread for the rest of his life, only to find it's just one meal.

Suddenly, some text appeared on the Light Screen before Li Xuan.

【Congratulations Host, you have obtained six Bread Fruits, gaining 6 points of the secondary profession "Herbal Farmer" experience】

"It even adds secondary profession experience, great!" Li Xuan said happily.

The Bread Fruit before him resembled a large cabbage, its green leaves layered around the interior.

Li Xuan took a Bread Fruit and, in a flash, peeled away the outer leaves.

Inside was a Zang Zang Bun!

The outer leaves were like wrapping paper, and the Zang Zang Bun inside was completely intact.

Is this a beaver?

It's not a beaver! But since it's System Exclusive, it must be a beaver, after all the system is that overbearing.

System Exclusive products never harm the user, so Li Xuan didn't hesitate and shoved the Bread straight into his mouth.

It was fragrant, soft, and rich with chocolate aroma.

Li Xuan closed his eyes, savoring the flavor storm the sweet treat gave his palate.

"So satisfying, only sweet treats can ease human anxiety!" Li Xuan said contentedly after swallowing the Zang Zang Bun.

Li Xuan suddenly noticed that after the Zang Zang Bun was taken, a glass‑ball‑sized round object appeared underneath.

Li Xuan immediately checked the properties of this item.

【Plant: "Zang Zang Bun" Bread Grass】

【Quality: Heavenly Material Earth Treasure】

【Cultivation: 0 years】

【Description: A seed with miraculous abilities, ten‑day growth cycle, can bear one "Zang Zang Bun" Bread Fruit, and has low environmental requirements】

【Note: System Exclusive Plant, possesses miraculous abilities】

"With this Seed we can mass‑produce Zang Zang Buns!" Li Xuan said with a laugh.

Li Xuan, after speaking, opened the other five bread items: Egg Skin Meat Floss Bread, Yogurt Strawberry Jam Bread, Butter Cream Sandwich Bread, Large Rye Bread and Steamed Bun.

Although the Steamed Bun is a bit of an intrusion, the Steamed Bun is still more suitable for Eastern babies' stomachs.

Suddenly Li Xuan thought of something, took out the Seed of the Large Rye Bread and planted it in a Flower Pot.

Dear readers, happy weekend! I'm on duty today, only just found a moment to write; I'll try to write more tonight, adding extra updates for you, dear readers.
