Chapter 40 A Gift! (Part 1)



Ning Liu held a thick stack of blueprints in his palm, the edges of the papers slightly curled from being turned over.

"Sect Master, Elders, do you know anything about the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?"

"Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?"

Ning Fengzhi repeated the name.

After arriving in Soto City, he naturally learned about Ning Liu's arrival.

"The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, isn't that the one that appeared at the last auction?"

"Could it be that what you have is related to the crossbow we mentioned last time?"

Ning Liu smiled slightly.

"Our sect leader is wise."

"That indirect attack is superior because it is small and exquisite, but it is already at its limit when used to deal with Great Soul Masters and Soul Venerables."

"And this Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is made of black iron and contains sixteen black iron essence crossbow bolts that can be coated with potent poison."

He paused, then emphasized his words.

"Sixteen crossbow bolts were fired simultaneously in an instant."

"Within fifty meters, it is enough to pose a huge threat to the defensive soul skills of a four-ring offensive soul master."

"If the opponent is within ten meters and completely unprepared, even a Soul King expert, with their soul power protecting them, may not be able to escape unscathed."

"The most crucial thing is that activating it does not consume any soul power."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's breathing became slightly rapid.

"This is the first gift that I, your disciple, will present to the sect."

Ning Liu presented the blueprints with both hands.

"These are the complete blueprints for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow."

Ning Fengzhi took the blueprints; they felt heavy in his hand.

He unfolded the top sheet, and intricate lines and precise component diagrams came into view.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also came over, each picking up a blueprint.

A hint of surprise crossed Ning Liu's mind.

Do these two titled Douluo also understand these mechanical techniques?

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, seemed to sense Ning Liu's thoughts and blew on his beard.

"What, can't this old man take a look?"

"Kid, don't underestimate me."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin carefully examined the blueprints, and after a moment nodded slightly to Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Master, the drawings are meticulously prepared and clearly marked, they do not appear to be forgeries."

"The ingenuity of its structure is beyond comprehension."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face broke into a long-unseen, hearty smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row.

"With this blueprint, the sect's disciples will have an extra layer of protection."

"No, what more innuendo is needed!"

"This Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is exactly what my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs!"

Ning Liu spoke again.

"Sect Master, even with blueprints, it would be time-consuming and laborious to figure them out without skilled craftsmen."

He flipped his wrist again, and a slightly thin book appeared in his palm.

The book cover also features the four characters "Zhuge Liannu" (朱葛连弩).

"This is a detailed manual explaining the manufacturing process of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow."

"It details the manufacturing methods, assembly processes, and material ratios and processing techniques for each component."

Ning Fengzhi took the book and felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

He excitedly flipped through a few pages, which were indeed incredibly clear, with both pictures and text.

"Ning Liu, this gift of yours is too heavy!"

"On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I thank you!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Liu, his eyes filled with admiration.

Then, he said solemnly.

"I immediately returned to the sect and organized the sect's top blacksmiths and mechanics to form a special department to secretly forge this crossbow."

"A year... no, a month!"

Ning Fengzhi's tone was decisive.

"Within one month, I will equip every inner disciple and elder of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!"

Ning Rongrong listened from the side with her mouth slightly open.

Although she didn't quite understand the value of these blueprints, seeing how excited her father and two grandfathers were, she knew that they must be something extraordinary.

The look in their eyes as they looked at Ning Liu couldn't help but become more curious.

Senior brother, you seem to be getting more and more amazing.

Ning Liu bowed deeply.

"Sect Master, you flatter me."

"As a member of the sect, I should naturally share the sect's burdens."

"This first gift is to establish the foundation for the self-preservation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

He changed the subject and looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

"As for this second gift, it is prepared for the two elders."

Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were taken aback upon hearing this.

Prepared for them?

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

They are already titled Douluo, standing at the top of the Soul Master world.

Ordinary rare and precious treasures are of little use to them.

This kid, can he still come up with something useful to them?

Ning Liu didn't say much, and took out a crystal bottle that was completely transparent from the Spiritual Essence Star Ring.

The bottle contained a pale golden liquid, emitting a hazy glow.

Ning Liu opened the bottle cap, and an indescribable, immense life force instantly spread out.

Just inhaling a wisp of dissipated energy makes one feel refreshed and invigorated, with every part of the body feeling comfortable.

"This is……"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was the first to be moved.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, also stared wide-eyed at the liquid in the bottle.

The Bihua Spring that the sect leader had given them earlier had little effect on them.

But the mere aura emanating from this pale golden liquid was enough to make their bodies instinctively stir with restlessness!

Ning Liu smiled slightly and took out another identical crystal bottle.

He carefully divided the pale golden liquid in the bottle in two, pouring the liquid into two separate bottles.

Even so, the emanating life force remained so intense that it was impossible to dissipate.
