Chapter 140 The Hospitable City of Nottingham
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Because he needed to teach the two women footwork, Gu Xuan led them into the desolate mountains and wilderness after leaving Tar City.
Fortunately, my sense of direction was strong enough that I didn't stray off course.
After spending half a month living outdoors at night, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling finally mastered the basics of the Lingbo Weibu and Taxue Xunmei footwork techniques.
Gu Xuan also reaped considerable rewards.
Firstly, regarding the soul bones, the six soul bones have achieved complete balance, with each soul bone having reached an age of 94,000 years.
The effect of balancing the Soul Bone age limit is that the overall strength of the Soul Bone set has been slightly improved.
Then there are the spirit rings. Although the age of the spirit rings has not been completely balanced yet, at this moment all of Gu Xuan's spirit rings have turned black.
At the same time, they were constantly experimenting with the power of the talismans, creating many strange and unusual things.
Not only did Gu Xuan experiment with transforming humans into beasts, he also did the opposite, experimenting with transforming beasts into humans.
The soul beast was transformed into human form, bypassing the 100,000-year time barrier, using the power of the Monkey Talisman.
Research has shown that the humans transformed from spirit beasts have indeed become real people, but their minds are still not sharp and their wild nature remains untamed.
Humans transformed from spirit beasts can awaken their martial spirit, but they need the help of a martial spirit awakening stone.
The awakened martial spirit is their predecessor before they were transformed by the Monkey Talisman.
Furthermore, based on the rank of the soul beast, ordinary soul beasts have low innate soul power after awakening, while high-quality soul beasts have higher innate soul power after becoming soul masters.
The only uncertainty is whether these transformed soul beasts can condense their own soul rings like 100,000-year-old transformed soul beasts.
To figure this out, Gu Xuan first transformed a soft-boned rabbit into a dragon, then transformed the dragon into a human child, and finally awakened the child's martial soul through the martial soul awakening method.
A human child whose martial spirit is a dragon has been successfully awakened.
Furthermore, his innate soul power reached level nine.
It's just that perhaps because his soul was that of a rabbit, even though he first became a dragon and then a human, his rabbit nature didn't change much at all.
He looked timid and hesitant, as if he wanted to disappear into the ground at the slightest disturbance.
Finally, in order to find out whether a Soul Master transformed from a Soul Beast could condense a Soul Ring, Gu Xuan directly found a chain and tied it around the Soul Beast child's neck.
Then they would pull him along like a dog on a leash.
There was no soul power in the fiery space, so he needed to increase his soul power to see if the soul beast child could condense a soul ring.
So he could only be led around like he was being abused.
If Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng hadn't known beforehand that this child was transformed from a soul beast, they would probably have been furious to see Gu Xuan's current actions.
"Phew, we're finally out. Young Master, what exactly did we come to Notting City for?"
Dugu Yan stretched and looked at Nottingham City, which was so close at hand, with joy in her eyes.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't."
Gu Xuan tapped the two women on the head and said calmly.
His reason for coming to Notting City was simple: to capture Xiao Wu to absorb her sixth spirit ring, and to find the Blue Silver Emperor as Ye Lengleng's second spirit ring.
It wasn't that he couldn't use the Monkey Talisman to conjure a Blue Silver Emperor for Ye Lengleng; he simply couldn't.
After several experiments, the most he could produce was Blue Silver Grass with the Blue Silver King's bloodline.
It's like the Blue Silver Emperor is locked up; no matter how many conditions are met, it can't be unlocked.
Gu Xuan understood everything without even thinking.
The Blue Silver Emperor is unique; only one Blue Silver Emperor can exist in each of the same continent at any given time for both soul beasts and soul masters.
If you want to create a Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast for Ye Lengleng, then you must first deal with Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Grass that has taken over the Blue Silver Emperor's position.
He waved his hand to put the soul beast child into his flame space. He was about to enter the city, and he didn't want to be seen as a bully who preyed on children.
Gu Xuan's goal was clear: he headed straight for the city's largest library.
He needed to buy the most detailed map of the area around Nottingham first.
However, the moment Gu Xuan stepped into Nottingham City, the hairs on his body stood on end, as if he had been targeted by some great terror.
"Tang Hao!?"
Gu Xuan paused slightly, but then continued walking as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, he kept calculating the various possibilities in his mind.
In Nottingham City, besides Tang Hao, there was probably no one else who could make him feel such pressure.
But he didn't think he had offended Tang Hao, so why would Tang Hao notice him?
And it was malicious?
Gu Xuan subtly surveyed the buildings surrounding Nottingham City, trying to find the source of that gaze.
Without activating the Demon's Eye, you can get nothing!
"Young Master, isn't Notting City far too rudimentary?"
This was the first time Dugu Yan and Ye Lengling had seen such a simple town, and they couldn't help but speak up.
"Um!"
Ye Lingling nodded as well. They were used to big cities and the magnificent imperial city.
Nottingham is the most remote of all, a small town within a small town.
Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers, Nottingham was already a wonderful place that was out of reach, but for the two women, it was simply too rudimentary.
"After all, it's just a small city. It's normal that it can't develop because there aren't many Soul Masters. We don't need to stay here for long, so we don't need to worry about it so much."
Gu Xuan focused most of his attention on finding the source of the gaze, and after hearing Dugu Yan's sarcastic remarks about Notting City, he replied with deep agreement.
The three of them were dressed in a way that, while not extravagantly luxurious, was certainly exquisite and elegant.
This immediately created a stark contrast with the people around them. Even if those who overheard the conversation had any objections, they would shut up upon seeing the clothes that the person was wearing, clothes they couldn't even sell themselves for.
It's obvious they're young masters and ladies from big cities; isn't it normal for them to look down on people from small towns?
Even if a normal person had any objections at this time, they would still have some reservations because of Gu Xuan and the others' clothing.
But there are a few abnormal people whose brain circuits are different.
"Hey, what do you guys mean by this?"
"What did Nottingham do to you? Why are you belittling it like this?"
A pink figure blocked Gu Xuan and the others' path, hands on hips, glaring angrily at Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan.
It was as if they had committed some heinous crime.
???
Gu Xuan gradually regained his composure as he looked at Xiao Wu, who had appeared in front of him, and several question marks popped into his mind.
What's this called?
Is Nottingham really that hospitable?
"What happened?"
Gu Xuan turned to look at Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know either."
Dugu Yan also looked confused. They had only commented on the environment of Notting City, and hadn't said anything else.
"Little sister, stop fooling around and get out of the way."
Ye Lingling remained motionless and spoke calmly to Xiao Wu.
She knew Gu Xuan's personality very well.
Her young master is no good person. If this girl insists on causing trouble, she might get slapped to death by him.
"Don't pretend to be a good person. Let me tell you, this Notting City is under my protection, and no one is allowed to say a bad word about it except for me."
Xiao Wu straightened her chest and spoke with an air of confidence.
"Oh, really?"
Gu Xuan turned to look at Xiao Wu, and flames gradually flickered in his eyes.
In an instant, Xiao Wu, who had been arrogant and domineering, seemed to have been targeted by some kind of apex predator. Her arrogance vanished instantly, and the swagger on her face froze and cracked.
