As Dugu Yan's level had already reached level 30 during this carriage trip, the four decided to take a detour to the Xingdou Great Forest to obtain a suitable third soul ring for her.
The Star Dou Great Forest spans two empires, so it didn't take them much time to reach the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest located in the Xing Luo Empire.
The main reason is that Dugu Yan's martial soul is the Green Phosphorus Snake, which is also a true dragon species with a trace of true dragon blood in its body. The soul beast she hunts is naturally a dragon soul beast, and she also wants a defensive soul beast for her third soul skill. This kind of soul beast is probably only common in the Star Dou Great Forest.
There are basically no soul beasts like these in ordinary Soul Hunting Forests or Royal Soul Hunting Forests.
This is not surprising. The Royal Soul Hunting Forest is mainly for serving the royal family, so most of the soul beasts in it are tiger (cat) type soul beasts, and there are basically no dragon type soul beasts.

While massaging Zhu Zhuqing's little arm, Dai Yichen's mind was not idle as he had not yet written today's diary.
[Today I am finally setting off for Gengxin City to contact the Blacksmith Association. I hope that what I bring out can arouse the interest of Senior Lou Gao. At first, I wanted to take out a few drawings of the production of soul guides, but I thought that even if Lou Gao was a master craftsman, he was not a soul engineer like the ones who made soul guides in the Sun and Moon Continent, and he could not be compared with the master craftsmen who made battle armor tens of thousands of years later. ]
[This still requires a learning process. There is no other way but to take out the hidden weapons from Tang San's previous life in the Tang Sect and use them, hehe. The most common and mass-produced mechanical-expanded hidden weapons are the silent sleeve arrows, the innuendo, the tight-back crossbow and the Zhuge magic crossbow. Among them, the Zhuge magic crossbow can kill strong men below the Soul King level if used unexpectedly. ]
[Moreover, the production cost is not too high, only about seventy gold soul coins are needed, which can be said to be very cost-effective. The disadvantage is that it is a hidden weapon after all, and it will definitely be damaged every time it is used, and the crossbow arrows of Zhuge Divine Crossbow are not cheap. In the short term, it has the highest cost-effectiveness. In the long term, it is still necessary to produce attacking soul guides such as soul guide cannons, but it requires very high technology and is difficult to produce. It is estimated that the current building height cannot do it. ]
[Among Tang San's hidden weapons, the most powerful ones are Buddha's Wrath Lotus, Torrential Pear Blossom Needle and Peacock Feather. The difficulty of making these three hidden weapons is no less than some powerful high-level soul guides, but their power is also amazing. These three hidden weapons have the power to hurt Titled Douluo, and even some relatively rubbish Titled Douluo will be basically doomed if they are hit. ]
Dugu Yan: ...Why do I feel like you are talking about my grandfather?
Dugu Yan read the contents of the diary in silence, gnashing his teeth secretly.
However, Ning Rongrong was interested in these hidden weapons. If every direct descendant of their sect could be equipped with a set of mass-produced mechanically expanded hidden weapons, wouldn't their self-defense capability be greatly enhanced?
As for the money spent?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is as wealthy as a country, and the thing that everyone in the sect has the most is money.
However, Ning Rongrong is a little distressed now. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Xingluo Empire are not on good terms. If she were older, she might be able to convince her father and grandfather to do something.
But now, she has just awakened her martial spirit for less than a year. Although the three of them dote on her very much, they may not necessarily listen to her on this matter.
It seems I have to do something!
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong thought of something. Tang San clearly had the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, but in the end he represented the academy in the Tiandou Empire to participate in the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition. And if she remembered correctly, the dean of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua, was also a member of the Clear Sky Sect, right?
Before the Haotian Sect closed its mountain gates, they supported the Xingluo Empire. But now they have appeared in the territory of the Tiandou Empire, and Emperor Xue Ye didn't do anything to them, did he?
Although this was partly due to fear of the power behind them, she didn't seem to have heard that Emperor Xue Ye asked his father to let Tang Yuehua leave the Tiandou Empire, and even the Tiandou Empire's Princess Xue Ke had to go to Yuexuan to study.
Then why can't she go to Xingluo Royal Academy to study?
Who stipulated that since she was the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she had to go to Tiandou Royal Academy to study in the future?
And didn't she go there during the original route?
I went to the so-called Shrek Academy, and I didn't know what was going on in my mind at that time.
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong remembered that when she mentioned to her father and grandfather about building a gravity training room, the blacksmiths in the empire basically had no way to do it, and they didn't even have an idea.
Then could they try Gengxin City?
This way, maybe she would have a chance to meet Dai Yichen. She had long wanted to meet Dai Yichen.
Action speaks louder than words.
Xiao Wu, who was studying at a low-level soul master academy, didn't know what to think when she saw that they were going to Gengxin City.
....
[But when I mention the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, I get angry. In the original novel, Lou Gao wanted to forge the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle and then sacrifice himself to the furnace. He threw himself into the forging furnace alone and used his own blood to activate the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle's sharpness. ]
[This was such a great craftsman, but he died so miserably in the original book. It's really funny that such a rubbish hidden weapon actually requires the sacrifice of human life. This Torrential Pear Blossom Needle might be very powerful in this world, strong enough to harm low-level Titled Douluo, but in Tang San's martial arts world, its power is not that great. ]
[Any martial arts expert who is slightly stronger cannot be harmed by this rain of pear blossom needles. Tang San himself is an example. When he was first discovered, the sect elders used the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles on him, but Tang San dodged them all with his agile body and footwork. ]
[Tang San was only 29 years old at that time. No matter how talented he was, his cultivation was at most on par with the sect elders, and it was impossible for him to exceed that. But even so, he could remain intact when facing the torrential rain of pear blossom needles, let alone other sects that were more powerful than the Tang Sect. ]
[If I remember correctly, the Tang Sect seems to be located in the Bashu area. It is impossible that there is only the Tang Sect in this area. The sect that impressed me the most, Shushan, is also in the Bashu area, but they are cultivators. I don't know if there are any sects similar to Shushan around the Tang Sect, which is not introduced in the original work. ]
[Maybe it is true. After all, how could the Tang Clan, a sect of assassins that makes a living by using poison and hidden weapons, possess a Taoist martial art like the Xuan Tian Gong? And the Shushan Sword Sect happens to be one of the Taoist sects. I am a little curious about where the Tang Clan got the Xuan Tian Gong from. It is really strange. ]
