Douluo: AI Dragon Emperor Chapter 123 123 · Research on Soul Tools, Visiting the Blue

The Rainbow Dragon's wing was taken directly by Chen Ming as the down paynt.

As for the remaining paynt, both sides agreed it would be paid according to the progress of the work.

After learning previously that Chen Ming possessed dicinal pills capable of increasing cultivation, Ning Fengzhi returned to the sect and discussed the matter with the various elders, internally preparing a purchasing plan.

Thus, taking advantage of Chen Ming's visit this ti, Ning Fengzhi ordered forty Lesser Spirit Ascension Pills and twenty Greater Spirit Ascension Pills. Part of them would be directly distributed to the sect's geniuses, while another portion would be stored away for future generations.

Although the dicinal potency of pills would naturally dissipate over ti, just as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had once found a Crystal Dragon Spirit Master to seal the Rainbow Dragon skeleton—

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's connections and wealth, finding special thods to preserve these pills for hundreds or even thousands of years with almost no loss in potency was hardly difficult.

If the effects of these pills truly proved to be as miraculous as Chen Ming claid, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would continue purchasing more from him in the future.

Although Chen Ming did not currently possess much liquid cash, he did not care much about the five million Gold Soul Coins.

Instead, he directly entrusted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with helping him collect all kinds of Soul Tools.

Whether they were high-grade Soul Tools, low-grade Soul Tools, damaged ones, or all kinds of Soul Tools whose uses were unknown or which had simply accumulated over the years—he wanted them all.

High-level storage Soul Tools were indeed irreplaceable and scarce treasures in this era, while even low-level storage pouches were extrely valuable.

However, defective products and scrap Soul Tools truly did not sell for much.

Even in Flender's junk-shop-like store, there were plenty of nearly scrapped Soul Tools. As a giant comrcial sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no idea how many such items they had stockpiled over the years.

Originally, these discarded Soul Tools were ant either to be dismantled for research or slted down to recover their rare tals. But for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, obtaining rare tals was not particularly difficult to begin with. Now that Chen Ming wanted them, Ning Fengzhi felt no heartache at all in handing them over.

Since Chen Ming happened to need them, Ning Fengzhi instructed people to begin cataloging these special materials, preparing to sell them to Chen Ming at half the market price—half sale, half gift.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi could tell that Chen Ming intended to research Soul Tools.

But Ning Fengzhi desperately wanted him to succeed.

After all, Soul Tools required rare tals, and the organization most capable of acquiring such tals on the continent was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When the ti ca, Chen Ming would still have to purchase materials through them.

If he actually succeeded, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would also gain a stable channel for obtaining high-quality Soul Tools. They could even directly use rare tals as paynt, and any excess products could be sold through the sect's comrcial networks.

For both sides, this was an absolute win-win.

For Chen Ming, as long as he could master the technology needed to reproduce the material composition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its value would far surpass things like Spirit Bones or Gold Soul Coins.

If he were not worried about overextending himself, Chen Ming was even confident he could industrialize an entire region within ten years.

Spirit Power, as an energy source that was easy to obtain, renewable, highly efficient in conversion, and pollution-free, was simply too overpowered.

If he could create Energy Towers, it would truly beco a business of endless profit where the electric ter practically ran backward on its own.

"Calm down, stay calm. Let's first build a weapon that can eliminate a Limit Douluo in a single shot before considering all that," Chen Ming set a small goal for himself in his mind. He would first construct a piece of equipnt that would allow everyone to sit down and have a peaceful negotiation, and then he would voice his thoughts to the world.

...

After leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Ming headed directly toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory was located within a mountain range that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The sect had arranged a massive number of lookout posts and defensive structures across the mountains in a manner resembling a heavily fortified military encampnt.

Nearly half of the sect's living facilities were concealed within the mountain itself.

The peak of the mountain range was especially unique, with thunderclouds gathering there year-round. The entire sect carried an exceptionally solemn atmosphere.

Chen Ming had once read in Spirit Hall intelligence reports that ten thousand years ago, this region had been inhabited by lightning-attributed Spirit Beasts. According to legend, a powerful hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast had once coiled around the mountain peak.

But after the ancestors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan beca strong enough to break away from the Spirit Hall, they launched a territorial war against the Spirit Beasts. After paying an enormous price, they completely drove the Spirit Beasts out of the mountain range and gradually turned the area into the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Over the past ten thousand years, it was not as though no one had attempted to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

But unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was located on open plains, the mountain range occupied by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possessed treacherous terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to assault. It also stored massive amounts of living supplies and resources.

As a forr large-scale Spirit Beast habitat, the region itself was rich in cultivation resources and underground mineral reserves.

The various lookout posts controlled the essential routes up and down the mountain. Not only could they monitor the movent of people, but they also achieved the effect of "one man guarding the pass against ten thousand enemies." The entire place was effectively a military fortress composed of Spirit Masters.

The thunderstorm environnt that constantly plagued the mountain peak could also greatly strengthen the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's experts. In short, without a force several tis that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it was impossible to hard-crack this tough nut.

Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan occasionally suffered extre runs of bad luck—such as having no Titled Douluos or losing them outside—this mountain range could withstand most invaders, giving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan a chance to rise from the ashes.

Chen Ming submitted his visiting card at the foot of the mountain.

The card was inspected layer by layer before finally being delivered by a Spirit Saint of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into Yu Yuanzhen's hands.

The mont he learned that Chen Ming had arrived, the troubled Yu Yuanzhen imdiately adjusted his state. After giving Yu Luomian a few instructions, he directly leapt down from the mountain peak.

Using his dragon transformation abilities to manifest wings, he descended rapidly toward the mountain base and quickly walked forward to greet Chen Ming.

"Elder Chen, it has been a long ti. Poison Douluo, long ti no see as well. It seems your strength has advanced greatly—I offer my congratulations."

Yu Yuanzhen landed heavily before the checkpoint in a descending posture from the sky and cupped his hands toward Chen Ming and Dugu Bo.

"May I ask whether the two of you have co this ti regarding the matter we discussed previously?"

"Yes, Senior Yu. I ca precisely because of that matter. Since I also possess a dragon-type Martial Soul, I have so ideas regarding it. We can first carry out certain improvents according to my approach before making more detailed targeted modifications later on."

"Good. Then I'll trouble Elder Chen."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded and directly led Chen Ming through the checkpoints toward the interior of the sect.

The place where Yu Yuanzhen normally secluded himself for cultivation was at the mountain peak. However, even within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not everyone could endure the lightning-ridden environnt there at all tis.

Thus, most of the clan mbers and halls were established halfway up the mountain upon an enormous platform carved out manually by human effort.
