Chapter 66 Preparations Before the Trip
In the valley
Li Luochen was still parrying the combined attacks of Qianjun Jiangmo. He was already seriously injured, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.
The essence of the Panlong Staff Technique lies in fighting against heaven and earth. Li Luochen gradually grasped some of the feeling, that pure intent, and the momentum of fighting against heaven and earth.
"That's enough. Although it's not finished yet, I believe you can perfect the idea in the City of Slaughter. Get ready, I'll go to the City of Slaughter with you in a year," said Thousand-Pound Douluo.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, teacher," Li Luochen nodded in agreement.
"What about me? You only thank my brother and not me? Do you want to get beaten up again?" Demon-Slaying Douluo said, his eyes bulging. He had clearly been teaching with all his heart, but he hadn't been thanked. He was very unhappy.
Li Luochen & Qianjun: ...
"Um... Thank you for your instruction, Master Demon Slayer. Your staff technique is like a surging river, endless and continuous... (omitting countless compliments)."
The Demon-Slaying Douluo was flattered so much that he was beaming with pride, his head tilted back at a 45-degree angle.
Qianjun: My little brother, how come he's so silly? Taking care of him is so tiring. My apprentice is much smarter.
Afterwards, Li Luochen discussed some staff techniques and other minor matters with his two masters before Qianjun Jiangmo left.
They didn't greet the people from Shrek Academy. Apart from being somewhat surprised that Dugu Bo's soul power had reached level 95, there was nothing else.
Even if Dugu Bo is level 95, so what? His brothers working together can rival a level 98 opponent. A mere level 95?
Dugu Bo also ignored Qianjun Jiangmo. He had a good night and gained more insights into the Super Douluo realm, which could help him save a lot of time in advancing to level 96.
Flander's understanding wasn't that deep; he just gained a new appreciation for the use of soul power. Now, his soul power was gradually beginning to solidify, greatly reducing his cultivation speed.
On average, one level is promoted every year and a half. It will take a long time to become a Title Douluo.
After watching his two masters leave, Li Luochen immediately lay down on the ground. He was exhausted and had suffered considerable injuries, so he didn't want to move at all.
Not long after, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Flander came down from the valley. Dugu Yan fed Shao Xin's recovery candy to Li Luochen.
After eating the recovery candy, Li Luochen felt that his body's recovery speed had increased. He could only say that he was indeed a food-type Soul Saint, and his soul skills were amazing. After digesting a wave of candy, Li Luochen had already recovered about 70-80%.
Li Luochen sat up, pondering what he needed. The City of Slaughter was no place to play around. To obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, he first needed to achieve a hundred victories in the Slaughter Arena and then pass through the Road to Hell.
The Hell Road has three stages: bats, ten-headed blazing serpents, and the final sprint. It's incredibly difficult.
Although Li Luochen had recovered, he was still weak and was carried back by Dugu Yan. Yes, that's right, Dugu Yan. Now Dugu Yan is a powerful attack-type Soul Master, about to become a Soul King, and she is incredibly strong.
Li Luochen leaned against Dugu Yan's back, pondering what would happen next. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was being carried by Dugu Yan.
"...No, wait, huh? How come I'm being carried on Yanzi's back? This is backwards, but Yanzi smells so good."
Not long after, Dugu Yan carried Li Luochen back home. Dugu Yan was about to leave when Li Luochen stopped her. "Yanzi, I still have a rare medicinal herb. Would you like to try it?" Li Luochen asked directly.
"What else? We've already eaten enough, haven't we? Too much of a good thing is bad." Dugu Yan had already consumed several kinds of celestial herbs. These herbs greatly enhanced her, and she was afraid that consuming too much would damage her foundation.
Dugu Yan is currently fifteen years old, and her soul power has reached the peak of level forty-eight. She was able to break through to Soul King within a year, and then break through to Soul Emperor in three years. She should be able to break through to Title Douluo in her thirties.
"Others may be possible, but this fairy herb is also the king of flowers, ranked among the divine, and named the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red."
Long ago, there was a young man who was gentle and quiet by nature. He loved to tend to flowers and trees, and his garden was full of lotus flowers and lotus roots, a riot of colors.
He usually recites poems to flowers and raises his cup to invite the moon, but when he sees fallen petals, he is filled with endless sorrow. He will gather the petals, bury them in the ground, and shed tears again and again.
As the saying goes, love can move heaven and earth. His love for flowers touched the hearts of the flower fairies in heaven, who secretly descended to the mortal world to marry him, and their blissful union was beyond description.
But good times don't last. When the gods learned of this, they were furious. They decreed that a celestial being and a mortal should not be together, and ordered the flower fairy to be sent back to the divine realm. Since losing his beloved, the young man had been sighing and lamenting all day long, and had given up on his flower-related work. As a result, the walls collapsed, the fences crumbled, the flowers and trees withered, and the garden became a desolate place.
One day, an old man with white hair came and told him that the white peony he loved in the garden was the incarnation of his beloved wife. He said that if he destroyed the flower, the flower fairy would lose her fairy body and be banished to the mortal world to remarry him. But he must not destroy the flower.
After speaking, he turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared. The young man suddenly realized his mistake and deeply regretted his neglect of the flowers. He then carefully tended to the flowers and plants. Although he loved his wife, he could not bear to burn the peony. So he cherished it even more and wept over the flowers day and night. When his tears dried up and his heart broke, he died of lovesickness. At the end of his life, he dripped his blood onto the petals.
On his deathbed, he poured his blood onto the petals, and the peony instantly transformed into grass. The pure white petals were stained with the red threads formed from the young man's blood, hence the name "Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red".
Consuming this herb grants immortality, comparable to that of heaven and earth. It can boost one's soul power by at least ten levels and also comprehensively transform the body, possessing the power to bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.
Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its master. The stone beneath it is named Wu Jue; if forcibly destroyed, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power. It can only have one master in its lifetime, and once it recognizes its master, it will never change. To others, it will be an incredibly resilient entity; even a Title Douluo-level soul power cannot destroy it.
When picking the flower, one must have one's beloved in mind, with utmost sincerity, sprinkling a drop of heart's blood onto the petal. If one is even slightly distracted, even if one vomits blood and dies, one will never be able to pluck the flower.
After listening to Li Luochen's introduction, Dugu Yan felt that this was a flower of love, and that one must be extremely sincere and devoted to the relationship.
Li Luochen took out the Acacia Heartbreak Red. At present, it was still an ordinary-looking white flower, about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any grass or leaves. The root was connected to a large stone, which was completely black and extremely heavy. On the white flower, there were several striking red petals, as red as blood, which gave people a somewhat shocking feeling.
As Dugu Yan looked at the flower, she thought about her first meeting with Li Luochen and how they had become acquainted.
"You little pretty boy, how dare you bump into me? ... Do you know who my grandfather is? ... You actually dared to hit me? Even my grandfather never hit me... Grandpa will beat him up, beat this pretty boy to death."
Excuse me, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Dugu Yan... Chen, this is how my grandfather used poison... Wow, Chen, this is so much fun...
It seems like Chen will always be with you... Hmph, I command you to stay with me from now on, and you're not allowed to leave me... Hehe, it's so good to have Chen around.
Dugu Yan pondered her memories with Li Luochen, a sweet smile on her lips.
