NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22: Vedic knowledge
"There are two possibilities in which you can earn money. But both have high risk due to your lack of strength. Without strength, you cannot disclose knowledge that I can imprint on you. But still, you can start learning alchemy. I am not proficient in alchemy but my brothers Nakul and Sahdev were proficient in Vedic knowledge regarding healing and elixir making which can improve strength and help recover soul power. I have technique, but I don't have proficiency so you can only self-learnt it. First try it, if successful you can develop it according to your intelligence." This Shivarjuna imprints knowledge that his brother gave him in the past to Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan after receiving vast knowledge regarding herbs and elixirs. He is shocked beyond words because as per his knowledge of douluo, this world does not have an elixir for recovery of soul power, it's normally done with rest but with the knowledge given by his teacher, he can make an elixir with appropriate herbs.
"Thank you, teacher, I will learn it and use it to make money but as you have said this knowledge cannot make me money for now due to its rarity.so I needed to first focus on learning. I think for now money can wait. What about a spirit ring?" asked Feng Xuan.
"I also pondered about your soul ring. I cannot help you hunt a spirit ring but I have studied your pathway of soul power. Your soul's excessive soul power after level 10 is stored somewhere inside you which can be used to increase your body strength and help you absorb higher level spirit ring." Says Shivarjuna thinking about pathways.
"So, are you saying that not attaching the spirit ring now can help me absorb a higher-level spirit ring at the base level?" asked Feng Xuan.
There are five types of spirit ring white, yellow, purple, black, and red.
White from 10 to 99-year-old spirit beast.
Yellow from 100 to 999-year-old spirit beast.
Purple from 1000 to 9999-year-old spirit beast.
Black from 10000 to 99999-year-old spirit beast.
Red from a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.
In Douluo right now no basic configuration of the spirit ring is yellow, yellow, purple, purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, and Red. The age of spirit is confirmed by Soul Hall's theory, which was copied by the self-proclaimed Grandmaster.
By hearing his teacher's claim he can absorb spirit ring above basic standard which can help make him invincible at the same level.
"Yes, so you have to wait for a year for the first spirit ring. So now focus on learning Vedic knowledge and archery practice. You also have to daily do visual exercise as well as meditation." Said Shivarjuna.
"Okay, teacher. I will do my best to learn all this but delaying my spirit ring can also delay my cultivation and I would be left behind by a prodigy of the same age. Tang San will attach his first spirit ring in two days with the help of the grandmaster which will make him strong for now." Ask Feng Xuan worriedly.
He needed to master much more knowledge and also his spirit ring delayed his cultivation which would impact his future.
"No, delaying the spirit ring will not delay your cultivation. Your soul power will be stored in your body and will increase exponentially after spirit ring absorption. So you just needed to focus on your daily training for now." Said Shivarjuna.
After hearing confirmation from his teacher he became happy. He then used his Vedic knowledge memory given by Shivarjuna for study.
Vedic Knowledge consists of vast knowledge regarding healing, poisoning, herbs, and elixir or potion.
He goes to memory of different herbs and learns it. Based on this knowledge he also learned that there is a description of immortal herbs used by Tang San in the Douluo series.
"I needed to plan to impress Dugo Bo who has a medicine garden with immortal herbs. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and the day after tomorrow the regular classes will start. Tang san will be leaving to make a soul ring tomorrow. I needed to stick to my plan as per the teacher's guidance." Think Feng Xuan.
Just as Feng Xuan woke up from his meditation he saw Tang San return after talking with Grandmaster.
Returning to the dormitory, the other people were not there only Feng Xuan meditating, and he did not know where on earth they could have gone. Tang San had two midday meals, so although the color of the sky was gradually growing late, he was not even a bit hungry.
"Hi."
Said Tang San to Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan who just woke up from meditation replied to Tang San "Hi."
"I will be leaving with Teacher to take spirit ring. He asked me to invite you to hunt a spirit beast for your first spirit ring. We can go together for spirit beast hunting." Said Tang San.
"No, you can go with Grandmaster, I can't come. I don't have yet selected which spirit beast to hunt so you can follow your teacher. I will be waiting for the appropriate spirit beast to choose then will go for a hunt." Said Feng Xuan.
Tang San who heard works became angered due to Feng Xuan's rejection of the Teacher's goodwill and shouted "Feng Xuan, you needed to appreciate my teacher's goodwill. He is the Grandmaster of theory, he will provide you with appropriate suggestions regarding your first ring."
Feng Xuan frowned and said "You don't need to shout. I can hear very well and I just needed time to think. And I also have a teacher who can help me with the spirit ring so you don't have to worry."
"ok, Do as you wish." Said Tang san and left for his bed.
Feng Xuan also freshens up and moves to his bed to sleep.
Lying on the bed closing his eyes to rest, he carefully recalled the things Shivarjuna had said today, letting his impression deepen even more.
As the day hurried to its end he was also somewhat tired, unconsciously, he already passed into sleep.
"Hi."
Not knowing how long, a voice out of nowhere brought Feng Xuan out of his light sleep. Although he hadn't rested much right now, his alert nature was still not small. He subconsciously opened his eyes, looking straight at her lovable pretty face.
Xiao Wu looked at Feng Xuan,
"It still isn't late enough to sleep, will you still be able to sleep at night?"
Feng Xuan hurriedly somewhat awkwardly clambered up. Right now, Xiao Wu bent over the boundary in the middle of their two beds, looking at him with a charming smile.
Feng Xuan discovered that all the working students had already returned. Sitting up on the bed, pointing to the dividing boundary, he said:
"You're crossing the border."
Xiao Wu happily laughed and said:
"What crossing the border? I'm a girl. You should invite me, isn't that right? Of course, you absolutely cannot cross the boundary."
Looking at her flushed little face, Feng Xuan truly wanted to pinch it, but in the end he didn't have the heart to.
"Go to sleep." Said Feng Xuan.
"Go to sleep then." Xiao Wu angrily looked at Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan's dinner as before was coarse flat cake. Just after the sky had darkened, all the working students already sat on their beds starting spirit power cultivation.
Different from ordinary students, working students' cultivation was much more painstaking, even though their aptitude was probably the same, cultivating spirits could be said to be their only future way out.
By observing Feng Xuan discovered, that these working students' posture for cultivating spirits was about the same as his, on the body faint pale spirit power waves appeared, only he did not know how they truly carried out cultivation.
Only Xiao Wu was a person refusing to stay idle, she also was not cultivating. When Feng Xuan just finished eating his rations, she pulled on him insisting to go out for a stroll.
He also understand work-life balance so he also needed to relax so he agree to go with Xiao Wu.
At this time of the season, the weather was the most comfortable, the air was pleasantly cool but not chilly. By now, the sky had already darkened, and stars hung above in the sky. Cool and bright.
