I Pick Up Fragments on Douluo Continent

After breaking down most of the fragments, Lu Feng upgraded and combined several Martial Souls of decent quality.

Yellow Quality Black Iron Rod

Yellow Quality Gale Bird

Yellow Quality Cannon Five

Purple Quality knuckle duster

Together with Tang San's Yellow Quality Blue Silver Grass, Lu Feng currently had a total of five Martial Souls he could use.

In order to upgrade a Purple Quality Martial Soul, Lu Feng had practically poured all of his Martial Soul Light Points into it.

Of course, the results were extremely obvious.

In terms of Martial Soul quality alone, Lu Feng felt that he could now live up to the title of having the Potential of a Soul Saint!

As for skills, aside from the Yellow Quality Hunting, Forging, and Soft Techniques, he also had the Purple Quality Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

In addition, Lu Feng had synthesized a Black Quality skill: Teleportation.

Whenever he saw this skill, Lu Feng could not help but feel excited.

This was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skill!

Over the past year, Tang San had gone to the blacksmith shop every day after class to forge iron, so he and Lu Feng had not fought all that often.

And Xiao Wu? She caused trouble all day long.

Either she was fighting, or she was on her way to fight.

In all of Nuoding Academy, only Lu Feng and Tang San could keep her in line. Yet this little girl was weak but loved to play around. Lu Feng had lost count of how many times he had beaten her to tears.

As for cultivation techniques...

Lu Feng looked at his "warehouse" and could not help laughing.

Black Quality Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record

After dozens of friendly sparring matches with Tang San, Lu Feng had finally gotten his hands on the complete Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record!

About half a month ago, Lu Feng had picked up the final Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons fragment.

When he synthesized Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons with great excitement, the six cultivation manuals resonated with one another. After a burst of dazzling light, the complete "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" appeared in Lu Feng's mind.

Internal cultivation, martial arts, medical canon.

In the original story, the Mysterious Heaven Skill had laid a solid foundation for Tang San. Although his Martial Soul was only Blue Silver Grass, his Soul Power cultivation speed was the fastest among those his age.

And the Tang Sect's martial arts and hidden weapons had saved Tang San from danger time and time again.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow killed a Man Faced Demon Spider.

King of Hell's Post killed a Soul Saint.

Guanyin's Tear.

Although Lu Feng also wanted to complain about how a mortal could pierce through a god's heart, Tang San had won anyway.

As for Immortal Herbs...

They were the true turning point on Tang San's path of cultivation!

Without Immortal Herbs, Tang San's Martial Soul would not have gained fire and water immunity and would have remained nothing more than ordinary Blue Silver Grass. He probably would not even have made it into the Soul Master finals.

Moreover, without tempering his body in ice and fire, Tang San's cultivation speed would have slowed considerably. By the time Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong became gods, Tang San might not even have been a Soul Fighting Douluo.

There was even less need to mention the rest of Shrek's Big Six.

Without Immortal Herbs, it was uncertain whether some of them could even survive, much less become gods at rank one hundred!

It could be said that Immortal Herbs were the greatest treasure in the first part of Douluo Continent, even more valuable than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones!

And now...

Lu Feng flipped through the Immortal Herb illustrations in the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record," a sly smile curling across his lips.

I want them all!

It was worth mentioning that the synthesized "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" did not contain any so-called "General Outline of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record."

The preface of the cultivation manual was a theory about the formation of heaven and earth, or rather, a philosophy of how to conduct oneself.

One passage read:

The west wind is bleak, its essence firm and unyielding;

Vegetation is lush, indulgent and without restraint;

Water has no fixed form, humble and formless;

Fire burns the roots, and in the end has nothing to cling to;

Earth carries all things and encompasses everything.

Hunting

When Lu Feng first saw this passage, he had been rather surprised.

Where was my huge "path to death"?!

Could the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" without "path to death" still be called the Tang Sect's supreme cultivation manual?

After studying it carefully, Lu Feng discovered that this passage was somewhat similar to the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Restraint theory from his previous life.

He also found some inspiration in this theory regarding the selection of his Soul Rings.

Soul beasts, Soul Masters, Soul Rings, Soul Bones.

Everything in the world was contained within the Five Elements.

Life and death cycled, and the Five Elements flowed.

Lu Feng could use different Martial Souls, but regardless of the Martial Soul, most of their attributes fell within the Five Elements.

Wind was yin wood, lightning was yang wood. Light belonged to fire, rock belonged to earth, and ice was derived from water.

Even special attributes such as yin and yang could not escape the effects of mutual generation and restraint among the Five Elements.

For his first five Soul Rings, Lu Feng planned to obtain one attribute with each ring.

This would not only meet the needs of most Martial Souls, but would also allow the Soul Power within his body to circulate through the power of the Five Elements, flowing endlessly and regenerating without cease.

It might even push the Mysterious Heaven Skill to another level.

Having transmigrated into another world, his golden finger was naturally Lu Feng's greatest reliance. But the memories of his previous life were also an immeasurable treasure to him.

At first, Lu Feng found it strange that the original "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" had not recorded these things.

He soon figured it out.

Since the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" was a Tang Sect cultivation manual, it should at least bear some trace of the Tang Sect.

It was like when he copied his deskmate's homework back in school in his previous life. The contents could be exactly the same, but he still had to write his own name on it!

"Sir, we have arrived at the Soul Hunting Market." The coachman's voice came from outside the carriage.

Lu Feng jumped down from the carriage and saw an enormous market spread before his eyes.

Outside the forest, wooden houses stood in neat rows. Simple man-made paths crisscrossed between them, while shouts and cries rose one after another.

"Five-man team, hunting ten-year soul beasts! We have permits! Looking for a sponsor!"

"Ten-man group, hunting a hundred-year power-type soul beast! Need nine more!"

"Black Pheasant Mercenary Group! Taking commissions to hunt all kinds of hundred-year soul beasts! Trusted business for two and a half years, guaranteed reputation!"

"Damn it, what a bunch of profiteers!" Lu Feng walked out of a shop cursing, two water flasks in hand.

"Ah, if only I had a Storage Soul Tool."

Lu Feng did not linger and headed toward the western side of the market.

After following the wall for half an hour, Lu Feng arrived at an uninhabited spot.

The thick iron fence was as wide as an adult man's thigh and over thirty meters tall. Even thousand-year soul beasts could not climb over such a height.

"Teleportation!"

With a thought from Lu Feng, ripples spread through the surrounding space. In the next instant, his figure appeared inside the forest.

Feeling that one-fifth of his Soul Power had been consumed, Lu Feng helplessly shook his head.

In the original story, Xiao Wu's Teleportation was her third Soul Skill.

With Lu Feng's Soul Scholar cultivation, he would exhaust his Soul Power after using it four or five times, and its range was only ten meters.

However, Lu Feng guessed that as his Soul Power grew, Teleportation's consumption would decrease and its distance would increase as well.

Upon entering the forest, all the noise seemed to vanish, and even the air became much fresher.

Yet beneath that silence lay countless dangers. Every year, no small number of Soul Masters died in the Soul Hunting Forest.

As he walked, Lu Feng spotted a Lone Bamboo.

The Lone Bamboo did not look remarkable. Its main body was emerald green, swaying gently as its bamboo branches moved with the wind.

"Crack!"

Lu Feng swung his Firewood Chopper down with force, cutting the Lone Bamboo cleanly in half.

Picked up White attribute point: Vitality Fragment ×1 (1/10)

One-third of the Lone Bamboo's stalk remained above the ground, and no Soul Ring appeared.

The weakness of plant-type soul beasts was generally at their roots. Being cut in half at the waist was only a "minor injury" to a Lone Bamboo, one it could recover from in two or three days.

As Lu Feng ventured deeper, he encountered more and more soul beasts, and they grew increasingly powerful.

The soul beast Lu Feng had chosen for his first Soul Ring was called the Greenwood Python, a nonvenomous python-type soul beast.

The Greenwood Python was an extremely rare wood-attribute animal soul beast. Although it lacked venom, its vitality was exceptionally tenacious.

Once, a Soul Master had cut a Greenwood Python into two halves. Unexpectedly, the snake's head and tail fled separately, and in the end, they completely split into two soul beasts.

Before long, Lu Feng arrived at a pool.

The clear little lake made the air somewhat damp, and the surface reflected the shadows of towering trees.

He opened the map Su Yuntao had given him. Seven or eight circles had been marked on it in red ink.

These were all smokescreens Lu Feng had set up to keep his secret.

The type of soul beast a Soul Master's Soul Ring came from was not exactly private information. But before making any major decision, Lu Feng always thought things through carefully and liked to keep something in reserve.

"This is the place. Brother Tao said that during Spirit Hall's last inspection, they discovered a four- or five-hundred-year-old green giant snake in this pool."

"It lives near water, hides at the bottom during the day to sleep, and comes out at night to hunt. Unlike other snakes, it does not rely on basking in the sun to maintain its body temperature. Such an unusual snake-type soul beast must be a Greenwood Python!"

The Spirit Hall enforcement team's main duties were twofold:

First, they were responsible for maintaining order in the Soul Hunting Forest, checking the permits of hunting teams, and preventing Soul Masters from poaching soul beasts.

Second, they recorded the distribution of soul beasts in the forest. Once they discovered a thousand-year soul beast or a powerful soul beast group, they reported it to the main hall.

Both the soul hunting permit and the map in his hand were benefits Lu Feng received after agreeing to join Spirit Hall.

Lu Feng put away the map, took a small basin and several colorful little bottles from his pack, then mixed the liquids from the bottles in order.

"Fresh blood from a Wind Feather Swallow."

"Bile from a Green Light Snake."

"Medicinal broth brewed from Purple Bead Grass."

"And lastly, spirit liquid nurtured within this hundred-year Ink Jade Bamboo."

Lu Feng poured the last bottle of spirit liquid into the basin with some reluctance.

Ink Jade Bamboo spirit liquid was a precious medicinal ingredient used to assist cultivation. This little bottle alone had cost ten Gold Soul Coins, nearly one-tenth of Lu Feng's wealth.

As the spirit liquid mixed in, the liquid in the basin gradually solidified. Before long, a layer of golden gel appeared at the bottom.

Lu Feng poked it with a finger. It was soft and bouncy, looking like jelly from his previous life.

Lu Feng tossed the small basin directly into the pool, then hid behind a large rock nearby.
