A few days later,
Spirit City was bustling.
"Yu Xiaogang called himself a Grandmaster, yet he couldn't even organize some records properly. He even caused a Soul Master to go astray in cultivation. What a vile, harmful piece of work."
"He's a real cancer. That poor Soul Master ended up as his guinea pig."
"A two-ring Soul Grandmaster, and Spirit Hall gave him a chance-a chance to make a name for himself."
"Not only did he fail to seize it, he even put his own name on all that knowledge. What a waste."
"Well, he's famous now. He even ended up drawing out the legendary Great Enshrined. A Soul Grandmaster made Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined take action-who would believe that?"
"Exactly. How long has it been since the Great Enshrined last acted? And now he's been stirred into action. Yu Xiaogang really must have some clout."
"Brother, I read that theory. How did a two-ring Soul Grandmaster dare replace the names on the works and achievements of the Soul Master World's towering authorities with his own?"
"What? Yu Yuanzhen's youngest son? Then the Yu family is now..."
"Damn, brother. Going by what you're saying, Spirit Hall should have executed Yu Xiaogang."
"Apparently, Spirit Hall spared him out of consideration for the effort he put into writing all that, and out of respect for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's clan master."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"He's the youngest son of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen."
"So that's how it is..."
"..."
However, only Spirit City's streets and alleys were abuzz with talk of Yu Xiaogang's actions. Although most cities had a Spirit Hall Branch, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory had only begun circulating from Spirit City, with Bibi Dong's help.
Qian Xunji had also been secretly placing heavy restrictions on the spread of Yu Xiaogang's theories. After all, they belonged to Spirit Hall.
News of Yu Xiaogang's punishment still spread across the continent, but many people merely thought another notice had been issued. It was only a notice, after all, and had little to do with them.
The Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged before the Angel God Statue, his consciousness within his own spiritual world.
Within that vast world,
The black-and-yellow Chaos Bell occupied the center. The tiny angel no longer huddled up as before, instead occasionally flying around the Chaos Bell in curiosity.
After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable if another resident suddenly appeared in their home.
Especially when that resident was stronger than them. Fortunately, the tiny angel had no self-awareness.
It had only huddled up before out of fear. Over the past few days, with the Chaos Bell showing no reaction, the tiny angel had grown accustomed to the extra presence in its home.
Fear was instinctive. It would be fine once it got used to it.
Watching his angel martial soul behave like a child, Qian Daoliu smiled and shook his head.
You're enjoying yourself, but I still have a mountain of things to do.
"Senior, may I ask you a few things?"
Qian Daoliu respectfully addressed the Chaos Bell at the center.
"Go ahead."
Black-and-yellow ripples radiated from the Chaos Bell's body, frightening the tiny angel into hurriedly flying behind Qian Daoliu, whom it felt close to.
"Well, this world doesn't have a complete cultivation system. Do you have any methods I could cultivate, Senior?"
Only after finding some free time over the past few days had Qian Daoliu properly practiced the Qian Family's cultivation method.
With a legacy stretching back ten thousand years, the Qian Family's cultivation method was undoubtedly the best on the continent. Still, Douluo had no complete cultivation system.
After all, Douluo seemed to run on turn-based combat.
And in a few years, Tang San would transmigrate with the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record-a complete martial arts inheritance.
A single Tang Sect could shake the entire continent.
Although he had been a Taoist priest in his previous life, he had only learned a few practices for strengthening his body and maintaining his health.
He also had no idea when the system would reward him with such things.
Besides, if the Chaos Bell had any,
They would be immortal cultivation methods.
Even if everyone swarmed him at once, Master Zhang couldn't possibly kill them all.
Martial arts practitioners versus immortal cultivators?
That was why Qian Daoliu had asked.
"I do not. Besides, what you already possess stands at the pinnacle of this world."
As soon as the Chaos Bell finished speaking, Qian Daoliu felt a little disappointed.
But that was all. After all, the Douluo Plane's level was far too low at present.
"Senior, I have some different ideas about the soul rings for my second martial soul."
Qian Daoliu put away his disappointment and brought up another matter.
"Recently, I have also examined the wonders of the rings on the Little Spirit. The red ones have a decent effect on the seal."
"As for the black ones, they do have an effect, but it is very weak."
Hearing that only a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring would help gave Qian Daoliu a headache.
He did know which soul beasts on the continent were over a hundred thousand years old. Even setting aside the other continent, the Sun Moon Continent, there was Douluo alone.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, the true Beast Emperors at its core had yet to awaken. Only Da Ming, Er Ming, two rabbits, and a blade of grass were active in Star Dou outside the core.
The three titans of the Far North were the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and the Titan Blood Demon, along with the Snow Empress's Little White Bear.
Wait, he had missed the Big Bug.
Thinking this, Qian Daoliu shook his head with a smile and excluded the grass. That left exactly nine, no more and no less.
But among these soul beasts, Qian Daoliu would only pay much attention to those in the Far North.
After all, ten thousand years later, the Big Bug and a wisp of Electrolux's divine consciousness would create a god...
I wonder whether Electrolux is in Star Dou right now?
[Congratulations to the host for completing the quest "The Villain's Ugly Face." Quest reward obtained: Thousand-Year Soul Ring Pill Formula.]
Just as Qian Daoliu was pondering this, the system notification rang out.
After so many days of waiting, the system's quest had finally been completed amid the continent's verbal condemnation of Yu Xiaogang.
Qian Daoliu had originally thought the quest would be completed once Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang for who he really was. He had not expected the system to require Spirit Hall to republish the martial soul theory before it counted.
After all, that theory was also Yu Xiaogang's way of trying to prove himself. Fortunately, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had come through, publishing the revised version again under Bibi Dong's name as Saintess in just a few days.
"Senior, let's leave the matter of adding soul rings there for now. I'll head back to take care of a few things."
"Mm!"
After Qian Daoliu vanished, the tiny angel could only play with the Chaos Bell that had "stolen" its home again.
Come to think of it, it had been alone before. Having someone else around now might not be so bad...
Before the Angel God Statue.
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes and took the newly rewarded parchment scroll from the system space. The pill formula was written on it.
Fortunately, the system had provided a formula tailored to the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, he would not even have the ingredients.
Qian Daoliu recognized the names of some medicinal herbs and some types of beast blood listed on it. As for what the herbs looked like, he had no idea.
Is this really the field of a power attack system Soul Master like me?
Every craft had its specialist. He would toss this pill formula to the flower-loving Yue Guan and let him suffer the headache.
With that thought, Qian Daoliu rose and left the Worship Hall.
After leaving the grand hall, Qian Daoliu walked several hundred meters along a small path before a bamboo grove appeared before him.
After seeing so much gilded splendor, this "secluded retreat" style seemed more suited to true experts.
There were a dozen or so bamboo houses in the grove. Hearing movement, several enshrined elders and Bibi Dong came out to look.
"Teacher."
"Big brother, what brings you here?" Golden Crocodile asked in surprise.
His big brother rarely came out.
"I recently obtained some more pills, so I came to give the lot of you a change of colors."
