Planning Heart Separation Control

"It worked!"

A day passed quickly. When Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes again, the surging Soul Power around her rapidly subsided.

Looking at her hands, Zhu Zhuqing quietly sensed the improvements in herself.

The most obvious change was her appearance.

If the original Zhu Zhuqing could be considered stunning, then after taking the Narcissus Jade Bone, her beauty had almost reached the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.

Moreover, under the infusion of massive amounts of Soul Power, the Narcissus Jade Bone's ability to forge Ice Muscle Jade Bone had begun to manifest.

Through inner vision, Zhu Zhuqing could clearly see her bones evolving toward the quality of white jade.

Even her skin had become as white as snow.

Then there was the matter of her Soul Power.

Supported by the medicinal effects of the Narcissus Jade Bone, her Soul Power Level had reached Level 36.

After being compressed twice, the greater part of an Immortal Grade Herb's medicinal power had only provided her with four levels' worth of energy. The remaining medicinal effects would likely be completely exhausted once she reached Level 40.

This...

Still, it was not without benefits. With the help of the residual medicinal effects, her Cultivation Speed would receive a boost.

And once the Ice Muscle Jade Bone fully formed, her Meridians would expand as well, increasing her efficiency in absorbing Soul Power.

It would most likely break the fastest cultivation speed granted by Innate Full Soul Power.

That would allow her to stop working herself quite so hard.

Otherwise, every day, in order to keep her Cultivation Speed from slowing down, she was either cultivating or preparing to cultivate.

Zhu Zhuqing was practically becoming Workaholic Qing!

Sometimes, she even thought it might have been better if her two martial souls had not evolved into Extreme Martial Souls.

That way, she would have had to work less, and her Soul Power Level could have shot upward at a rapid pace.

Still, the current situation was barely acceptable. Her Cultivation Speed was a little slower, but the road ahead had become much broader!

"Mm... I can finally relax a little!"

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and stretched. She had been worrying herself sick lately over solving the problem of extreme Soul Power compression.

Now, with the support of the Immortal Grade Herb, she could finally take it a little easier.

The only issue was that the consumption was rather high. One Immortal Grade Herb could only support less than ten levels of her cultivation expenditure.

"Mm?"

After standing up, Zhu Zhuqing stared at her clothes and fell into thought.

Her Soul Power had surged another four levels. The pure Soul Power and the nourishment of the Narcissus Jade Bone had caused her body to fully mature in just one day.

Zhu Zhuqing was now 1.8 meters tall, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs. Only...

Looking at her exposed waist and clothes that were obviously several sizes too small, Zhu Zhuqing fell into thought.

The troubling part was that she had not prepared any clothes for after she grew up!

Standing up, Zhu Zhuqing put on her original black Bamboo Hat. However, although it had once concealed her entire figure, a small section of her calf was still exposed now that she wore it.

Shadow Stealth!

Whoosh!

Slipping back into the shadows, Zhu Zhuqing swiftly headed toward Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Inside the largest clothing store in Heaven Dou Imperial City!

The moment Zhu Zhuqing entered, she headed straight for the black combat clothing section without the slightest hesitation.

There was no choosing or trying things on. Her eyes swept over the clothes as her mind automatically compared their measurements and sizes.

Her hands never stopped grabbing clothes from the racks until the saleswoman following behind her was piled high with garments. Only then did Zhu Zhuqing take one outfit and dart into the changing room.

"This... will interfere with combat a little."

Zhu Zhuqing looked down and sighed.

Still, she quickly changed back into her clothes.

Before the saleswoman outside could react, Zhu Zhuqing had already emerged again.

"Pack them all up. Card."

A purple Soul Tool Card appeared before the saleswoman.

Whoosh!

The saleswoman's eyes instantly turned into Gold Soul Coins.

A purple Soul Tool savings card! At least one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins had to be deposited inside to qualify for one!

Even Zhu Zhuqing herself did not know exactly how many Gold Soul Coins were in her Soul Tool Card.

Before she ran away from home, however, her monthly allowance had been deposited onto this card at a rate of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins per year.

After she ran away, Zhu Zhuyun had worried that Zhu Zhuqing might not be living well outside, so she secretly deposited another hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins into it.

And after Zhu Zhuqing gave Zhu Zhuyun a Soul Bone, Zhu Zhuyun deposited another hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins into the card.

The purple card had originally contained one hundred thousand. Add nine years of annual allowances, plus the two hundred thousand Zhu Zhuyun gave her.

Zhu Zhuqing's card now held at least three hundred ninety thousand Gold Soul Coins.

After putting all the packaged clothes into her Storage Soul Tool, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, she had truly indulged herself. She could buy whatever she wanted—having money felt great!

As she walked out of the shop called Seven Treasure Clothing Mall, Zhu Zhuqing's steps became a little lighter.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing instantly felt alive again.

Her current situation was roughly this.

The problem of slow Cultivation Speed had been solved with the Immortal Grade Herb, and after accumulating a great deal of time, she had also mastered the method of making her Soul Power circulate on its own.

What she lacked now was likely a method that would allow her to flexibly control three clones.

The first thing that came to mind was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control.

Then there were the methods of Heart Separation Control circulated among other factions.

Ning Fengzhi had once said that Heart Separation Control was not exclusive to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was merely that other factions on the continent did not use it often, which was why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control method had become so famous.

Since it was so widely circulated, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not possibly lack it.

And Yu Xiaogang had once been the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was also a scholar, so it was impossible that he had never seen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Heart Separation Control method.

Then why had he asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for their Heart Separation Control?

Was it not because he knew his own limits?

He knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Heart Separation Control method could not compare to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Naturally, Zhu Zhuqing also knew whose Heart Separation Control method was better.

But the problem was, whose secret techniques could be traded so casually?

Unless...

Zhu Zhuqing raised her right hand.

A black sphere rapidly condensed in her palm.

"Mm, no. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still too dangerous. This route definitely won't work!"

As the sect protecting the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had Ning Fengzhi, who was also the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's teacher.

If she went there, not only might she fail to obtain Heart Separation Control, she might even get herself trapped.

With a thought, she dispersed the Rasengan in her hand and began searching her mind again for a suitable candidate.

It could only be her!

After going through every faction in her mind, Zhu Zhuqing finally settled on one person.

Ye Lingling, inheritor of the Nine Star Begonia. The Undying Nine Heart Begonia Family also possessed a Heart Separation Control method passed down for many years.

However, because the family had so few members, it had never been as famous as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But that did not mean the Nine Star Begonia's inheritance was weaker than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
