#169 - Quan Family Library

Quan Yi steadied his mind.

He stopped overthinking about the future; aiming too high was not a good thing.

'Immortality' was still far from Quan Yi, so he should focus on the present.

He took out a large piece of drawing paper again and used concise strokes to roughly outline the ancient map.

Due to time constraints, Quan Yi quickly finished drawing the simple map.

Quan Li and Yun Qiong stood close behind Quan Yi, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

Quan Yi's drawing was like a geography teacher roughly sketching a world map in class.

However, it was this rough drawing that greatly shocked the two of them.

In their minds, Douluo Continent was the center of the world, but on the map, Douluo Continent was just a corner.

Quan Yi put down his pen and introduced, "This is the picture in my mind."

Yun Qiong stared at the map, gradually transitioning from shock to delight.

She murmured, "With this map, it will definitely be of great help to our future voyages at sea."

Quan Yi, who was close by, heard Yun Qiong's whisper.

"Voyage? What voyage?"

Yun Qiong recounted the things they had discussed earlier to Quan Yi.

Quan Yi also lowered his head in thought.

Relocating the territory to the coast.

The more Quan Yi thought, the brighter his eyes became.

"I think it's fine. I also agree with your decision."

In the future, the most important development directions for the Quan family were soul masters and firearms.

The former required long-term investment and experimentation on children before awakening to determine the probability and magnitude of innate soul power awakening.

However, this was a time-consuming and huge long-term task.

In the short term, there might not be obvious results.

Then the development of firearms would stagnate.

Going to the vast ocean could not only secretly use firearms but also obtain huge benefits for the family.

For the family, there was no better choice than this.

Moreover, speaking of the sea, the first thing that came to Quan Yi's mind was steel behemoths.

Steel behemoths powered by fuels such as coal and oil could even resist the unpredictable weather and ocean currents to a certain extent.

The most terrifying thing was that this was by no means a fantasy. With the current foundation, Quan Yi was confident that he could turn fantasy into reality in just over a decade.

Quan Yi's heart was attracted by the vast sea.

"Since you agree, then my general direction is set."

Yun Qiong replied.

Originally, Yun Qiong thought that Quan Yi would resist the seaside environment because of his own attributes, but she didn't expect that Quan Yi would agree to her decision without hesitation.

Quan Yi's approval greatly reassured Yun Qiong.

Under normal circumstances, Quan Yi's judgment was trustworthy.

"However, Grandma, I think that in addition to investigating coastal areas, we also need to investigate more mining areas and blacksmith shops.

These two will be important factors in whether we can develop rapidly in the future.

I have an idea in my mind, but to realize this idea, I need more blacksmiths and more iron ore."

Quan Yi raised his request.

Yun Qiong asked in surprise, "Are you going to produce firearms on a large scale? But we don't have many people, and the number of iron ore fields and blacksmiths we currently have is already enough to equip all of us."

Quan Yi smiled mysteriously, "No, Grandma, I have other ideas."

The day that determined the fate of the Quan family passed just like that.

From the next day, the Quan family began to operate secretly.

Several investigation teams set out from Tiandou City to various regions to investigate various intelligence.

And the Quan family also began to slowly make various preparations to leave Tiandou City.

Of course, no one would pay attention to everything they did.

A week had passed, and in the increasingly busy family, he was the most leisurely person.

For a whole week, Quan Yi had been soaking in the family's library, searching for various materials and information.

The Quan family library was established by Yun Qiong.

The library was four stories high and was the tallest building in the territory.

All clansmen could enter and browse the books.

Under Yun Qiong's painstaking management, she transformed this library into a top-notch simulated environment most suitable for her cultivation.

The various collections of books inside were very rare and precious items that were not easily found outside.

Under Yun Qiong's decades of collection, the number of books reached a terrifying level.

Some of them were directly purchased by Yun Qiong, and some were copied by her from the hands of book collectors.

And a larger part was voluntarily donated to Yun Qiong by the nobles in the city.

The owner of the Quan family boutique store, a powerful Soul Saint-level soul master.

For the various nobles, being able to exchange a few insignificant books for friendship with a Soul Saint powerhouse was definitely a great deal.

Therefore, Yun Qiong also took the opportunity to obtain many precious books that were not circulated on the market.

Quan Yi was sitting on a large leather sofa, flipping through books.

Dozens of books were scattered around him.

Most of these books were related to snake-type martial souls and soul beasts, and a small part were books on other types of soul beasts.

However, the other types of soul beasts all had one thing in common, that is, they were all dangerous species with toxins.

The book in Quan Yi's hand was called Detailed Explanation of the Bi Lin Snake.

The Bi Lin Snake martial soul was very scarce, and there were no famous soul masters except for Dugu Bo.

Due to the scarcity, there were few books on the research of the Bi Lin Snake martial soul.

In addition to the martial soul, Quan Yi found research on the real Bi Lin Snake.

"I didn't expect that the Bi Lin Snake was not originally a venomous snake carrying toxins."

Looking at the introduction of the Bi Lin Snake in the book, Quan Yi seemed to understand something.

External information about Dugu Bo was constantly fermenting.

The Poison Dominates the World, the first person to achieve the title of Title Douluo with the Bi Lin Snake martial soul.

The resounding title pushed Dugu Bo's reputation to a higher position.

However, Quan Yi, who had seen Dugu Bo's real situation, was not frightened by these titles.

Through comparative research on snake-type martial souls and poisonous beast martial souls.

Quan Yi discovered something interesting.

On the mainland, the inheritance of martial souls basically relies on bloodline inheritance.

Therefore, the same family will awaken the same martial soul.

However, even if they have the same martial soul, they will change according to the soul master's personal choices and development.

Therefore, even if they have the same martial soul, their achievements will be very different.

And the reason why Dugu Bo was able to stand out from all the Bi Lin Snake martial souls was probably because he chose the development direction of 'poison' and spent a lot of thought and effort on using poison.

Excellent choices and unremitting efforts have allowed Dugu Bo to walk to the top of the mainland in the way of 'poison'.

However, if the Bi Lin Snake has such a huge talent in using poison, why were there no famous soul masters before Dugu Bo?

Now Quan Yi seemed to know the reason.

That is, the Bi Lin Snake was not a poisonous snake in the first place.
