Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 227 The Foundation of Dilongmen
Seeing Nan Shuishui's melancholy expression, Liu Xing comforted her, "Don't worry, Godmother. Qiuqiu just lacks experience. Isn't this a chance?"

"You mean, the Continental High-Level Spirit Master Elite Competition?"

Nan Shuishui frowned.

"That's right, Godmother, your Dilong Sect should have received an invitation as well. This year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition is being held in the Sun-Moon Empire. The Sun-Moon Empire has changed the competition format and is no longer limited to just the major soul master academies. It has also invited all the major sects on the continent to participate, and renamed it the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition."

Liuxing nodded. He also learned about this matter after receiving the message from Meng Hongchen. This continent-wide advanced soul master elite competition is very lively. Not only will many sects participate, but the Sun-Moon Empire has also invited the Wuhun Hall and the seven major sects from another continent to participate.

However, the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects refused to participate, and only the four lower sects agreed to send a team to participate.

Liu Xing knew very well why the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects refused to participate. The entry requirement for their continental elite soul master competition was still under 20 years old. Soul Kings under 20 years old were very rare there. How could they possibly send a team to participate? That would be humiliating.

They have all witnessed the previous competitions in this world. Soul Kings are everywhere, Soul Sect members are worse than dogs, and only Soul Emperors can show off. The most outrageous ones are all under 20 years old.

The restriction was that only academies could participate. Now that the restriction has been lifted, sects can also participate. Everyone can imagine that by then it will definitely be a fight between gods, and they will not be able to send a strong team to participate.

If we send a group of Soul Masters and two or three Soul Kings to participate in the competition, our heads will be beaten to pieces and we will lose face and dignity. It is better to refuse to participate from the beginning and keep some dignity.

"Indeed, both our Dilongmen and Tianlongmen have received invitations from the Sun-Moon Empire. I'm still hesitating whether to participate."

Nan Shuishui nodded. Although she was not in the Dilong Sect, the elders of the sect received the invitation letter and immediately notified her using the communication soul guide, allowing her to make the decision.

Her Dragon Gate was able to put together a team of Soul Kings under the age of 20. In the last competition, this team would have been a sure-shot top eight. If Nan Qiuqiu could break through to the Soul Emperor level, they could even make it into the top four.

But now all the sects in the continent are participating in the competition. The Dilong Sect has little hope of competing in the top eight. After all, the Tianlong Sect next door has two Soul Emperors under the age of 20.

"I suggest that Godmother take Dilongmen to the competition. This will not only train Qiuqiu and the others, but also help Dilongmen gain more fame. With Dilongmen's strength, achieving a good result should be no problem."

Liuxing was aware of the strength of Dilongmen, which was no weaker than the Royal Academy of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Now that Nan Qiuqiu had obtained the immortal grass, her strength was bound to improve by leaps and bounds, and there would be no problem in leading Dilongmen to achieve good results.

Getting a good ranking in this continent-wide competition will be very beneficial to the development of the Earth Dragon Sect. At least it will attract many geniuses with Earth Dragon Martial Spirits to join the Earth Dragon Sect.

Even Liuxing was a little tempted and planned to form a team to represent the Nevernight Palace to participate in the competition.

He and Liuying were going to represent the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the competition, but that didn't stop him from forming a team to represent the Nevernight Palace.

It would be even more interesting if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Nevernight Palace competed for the final championship.

In the Nevernight Palace, Wang Qiuer, Bai Xiu Xiu, Lan Fuzi, and Shui Binger are all under the age of twenty. Together with Nana and Xu Tianzhen, they only need to find one more person to form a team to participate in the competition.

It's a pity that Xuewu, who possesses the martial soul fusion skill with Shui Bing'er, will be twenty years old by then, and Huowu will also be over twenty years old, otherwise the two of them would be very suitable.

If that doesn't work, you can bring Shuiyueer pendant and seven people can compete together.

With the strong strength of Wang Qiuer, Lan Fuzi and Xu Tianzhen, they might be able to make it to the finals.

Four Soul Emperors and three Soul Kings, this lineup is already very luxurious. Moreover, Nana, one of the Soul Kings, has a magical herb prepared by Meteor. Maybe she can break through to the Soul Emperor before the competition starts, and then she will be more stable.

Nana’s strength is actually not weak, it’s just that the people she has been comparing herself with are too strong.

Shui Bing'er actually has great potential. If Luan Yu hadn't used the octagonal black ice crystal, Shui Bing'er would have been able to break through to the Soul Emperor level, and her martial soul would have evolved into the ultimate Ice Phoenix. By then, her combat power should be able to rival that of a Soul Saint.

However, there is only one octagonal black ice crystal, and the soul ring and soul bone have also been refined by the Snow Girl. Moreover, with Shui Bing'er's current physical condition, she cannot absorb the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. She is not the Snow Girl.

Even Meteor wants the Nevernight Palace to participate, so you can imagine how attractive this continent-wide elite soul master competition is to the sects on the continent.

By then, there will surely be many strong teams, and there may even be Soul Saints under the age of 20. The excitement will far surpass the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

Not to mention the play-house competition held by the Spirit Hall in which Meteor and Firefly participated.

"Since even you say so, I will have the sect prepare and select the seven best disciples to participate in the competition."

Nan Shuishui smiled and nodded. In fact, even if Liuxing hadn't said it, she was also planning to let Dilongmen participate in the competition. After all, it would be a shame not to let the disciples of the sect expand their horizons in such a grand event.

Seeing the strength of disciples from other sects and competing with peers in the arena is a very good opportunity for training. This is the kind of training opportunity that the younger generation like Nan Qiuqiu lacks.

"Okay, come with me, I'll take you to a place." Nan Shuishui shook her head and stopped thinking about Nan Qiuqiu. She called Liuxing, Liuying and Xuenv and headed towards the back garden.

Liuxing also guessed that the place Nan Shuishui was going to take them to should be the foundation of the Dilongmen. The Dilongmen has existed for more than a thousand years, and he was also looking forward to what kind of surprises there would be in the Dilongmen.

Nan Shuishui led the three of them to a well in the backyard.

As she approached the well, the Snow Girl stopped, frowned, and looked at her with surprise.

"There is a cold spring inside. The cold spring contains rich spiritual energy, which has a nourishing effect on the body of the soul master. However, only the successive masters of the Earth Dragon Sect know that there is actually a cave under this cold spring, but we have isolated it with a mechanism."

"In that cave, there are many rare minerals. We at Dilongmen can't use them, so why not give them to you? You should really need these rare minerals in the Sun and Moon Empire."

As the saying goes, reciprocity is the norm. Meteor gave her and Nan Qiuqiu the fairy grass to help them become stronger. She also took out the heritage of the Earth Dragon Gate. Moreover, these minerals were of no use to them in the first place.

"The temperature inside the cave is very low. Even if I were to go in now, I wouldn't dare stay there for long. You and the Snow Girl are both the ultimate ice and fire, and you are not afraid of the cold. That's why I brought you here."

"The ore in the cold spring has an ice attribute. The ancestors of the Earth Dragon Sect believe that there is a metal vein underneath. If all of it is mined, it should be a great harvest, which should be helpful for you to build your sect's headquarters."

Nan Shuishui also knew that Liuxing was preparing resources to build a headquarters for the Nevernight Palace, and also knew that he had a crazy idea of ​​building a sky garden.

Although she found it unbelievable, she still supported Meteor, so she had long been prepared to give this vein of minerals to Meteor to contribute to the construction of the Sky Garden.

"This cold spring is not simple. Although it is not as good as the cold spring in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, it is not much different. The ice-attributed metal vein below is most likely top-notch."

Xue Nu did not spend these years in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in vain. She also learned a lot about soul guides and minerals.

Moreover, she is the ultimate ice. Judging from the coldness of the cold spring in this well, one can guess the grade of the metal vein below, which is definitely top-level metal.

"Top Metal!"

Meteor and Firefly looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Top-grade metal, as the name suggests, is the material that can be used to make top-grade soul guides. In other words, it can be used to make ninth-grade soul guides, and its value is immeasurable.

And here is an entire mineral vein, the total value of which is astronomical, so there is hope for the establishment of a sky garden.

This kind of top-grade metal vein is extremely rare and priceless in the Sun-Moon Empire. There is a soul guide army stationed there at all times to prevent anyone from stealing the ore.

They never imagined that there would be such a top-grade metal vein under the Earth Dragon Gate. The value of this vein alone exceeded the value of the magic grass they gave to Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu.

"This is such a pleasant surprise. Thank you so much, godmother. You are our timely help!"

Meteor was overjoyed.

"I wish I could help you."

Nan Shuishui smiled and gave Liu Xing the specific method of opening the cave, and warned him: "The temperature down there is very low, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, godmother, we know what's going on."

Meteor nodded, then jumped into the well with Firefly and Snow Girl.

As soon as they entered the well, a cold air hit them in the face, but this cold air had no effect on Liuxing and the other two. Even if they did not activate their martial spirits, they would not be affected.

The cold spring is icy, but strangely enough it is not frozen. The ice-attributed energy of heaven and earth in the spring water is very rich, and it does have a warming effect on the human body.

I think the young disciples of Dilongmen have all used this cold spring water to lay the foundation.

The cold spring is very deep, and the coldness gets stronger the deeper you go. Meteor and Firefly have no choice but to possess their martial spirits and wear mechas to isolate themselves from the cold.

The Snow Girl, on the other hand, was not affected at all. Instead, she felt like a fish in water and felt more relaxed and comfortable in this environment.

For her, the cold air here not only cannot cause her any harm, but will instead benefit her, slowly increasing her soul power and nourishing her martial soul.
