Chapter 442 A two-pronged approach
After finishing the theory, the next step is to prepare for publication.
The ways of publishing theories in Douluo Continent can generally be divided into two categories.
The first category is to find the Spirit Hall.
After all, this organization has branches, sub-hallways, and main halls in all cities, big and small. By publishing through the Spirit Hall, the theory can be spread throughout the continent in a short period of time.
Are there any disadvantages?
There is a possibility that they will be directly targeted by the top leaders of the Spirit Hall and taken to Spirit City without any explanation.
The second category is to publish locally.
Benefits: Safety.
Disadvantages: It would take a long time to spread this theory across the continent by word of mouth and through merchants.
And Zhou Qing chose the second category.
Although this would not create fame in a short period of time, he calculated the time based on the population flow between cities and found that he should be able to convey this theory to Tiandou City before the next Continental Elite Competition.
However, the first type of publication also needs to be carried out, but instead of publishing the "Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings", another one will be of more practical use to the cultivation of civilian soul masters across the continent.
Or rather, suggestions.
The development direction of martial soul is based on two basic points.
First: talent.
Second: attributes.
The so-called talent is the ability of the martial soul, such as a sword can be used for chopping, a frying pan can be used for frying food, etc. The most critical point is that the martial soul itself wants to achieve the best growth and give full play to its characteristics and strengths.
The attributes are easy to understand, that is, the attributes of the soul beast you hunt should be consistent with your martial soul, so that it will be easier to absorb its soul ring.
Of course, this is true in theory, but it is unknown how many civilian soul masters are willing to follow this theory.
After all, in this era, without attack capabilities, one’s life safety cannot be guaranteed when wandering in the soul master world. Moreover, in an environment where all soul masters in the entire soul master world are eager to become combat soul masters, the vast majority of soul masters pursue combat effectiveness. Even if their martial souls are not suitable for combat, they will find ways to make themselves combat-effective.
Not to mention, most civilian soul masters are not able to practice their own soul skills like the children of large families or disciples of sects. Their combat qualities and combat experience can only be honed through repeated battles.
Without combat spirit skills, it might not even be able to grow in the initial stages.
Therefore, this theory is only a suggestion. At least in Zhou Qing's conjecture, giving full play to the talent of the martial soul has a greater probability of making the martial soul grow faster, and can improve the average soul power level of soul masters in the soul master world where the theory of basic soul power training is imperfect.
After receiving the "Martial Soul Cultivation Theory" co-signed by Zhou Qing and Romantina, Mashu Nuo from the Martial Soul Branch Hall carefully read it and nodded secretly: "It does make sense, but unfortunately, I guess not many soul masters will follow this advice."
Zhou Qing expected Mashunuo's reaction, so he smiled and said, "Grandpa Mashunuo, when the continent is at peace, this theory will be able to play its due value."
"Ah."
Mashuno thought the peace on the continent was just a lie, but he didn't break Zhou Qing's fantasy. He nodded and said, "This theory should be published, but it will take more than half a year to be announced to the whole continent. And by then it will be published together with the theories of other theoretical masters, so maybe no one will pay attention to it."
"fine."
Zhou Qing didn't mind. This theory was just a prelude to the future appearance of the "Soul Ring Secondary Refining Theory" in the public eye, so that people would not think that this theory appeared suddenly. At least, the publication of this theory can prove that Romantina and Zhou Qing have also published theories in the most authoritative Wuhun Hall on the continent.
at the same time.
A new long-term task has been added to the task wall in the Notting Guild: Publicize the new theory jointly researched by Romantina and Zhou Qing.
In addition, Romantina also contacted all the bookstores in the city, printed the "Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings", and asked them to be responsible for selling it.
As the daughter of the city lord, the bookstore owners would naturally give her face, and Romantina would pay for the printing herself, with the sales proceeds split 30% to 70%.
Even though they only get 30%, they don't have to spend a penny in the process!
And with this two-pronged operation, the book on "The Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings" has been circulated among the soul masters in Notting City.
Although they probably think that this theory is just groundless conjecture and has no practical use for their practice, the book itself is quite good.
Why?
Because Romantina required all major printing bookstores to use the best materials, even the outermost book cover was made of the cowhide of Moo Spring Ox - the one that Zhou Qing hunted.
After going through a certain processing procedure, the cowhide of the Moo Spring Ox becomes extremely tough. When used as a book cover, the thickness of the "Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings" is one centimeter, so this book is simply a thin brick!
Do not!
It is more suitable to use than a brick, because this book is harder than a brick, but lighter than a brick. Some soul masters even place it on their chest as armor.
It's true, the defensive power of this thing is one or two points stronger than the armor made by the blacksmith shop in Notting City, but the area is a little smaller, and the user needs to sew it into the clothes later.
For a time, this first batch of "Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings" was very popular among the soul masters of Notting City - not for reading, but as a kind of protective prop.
Due to the popularity among soul masters, the owners of printing bookstores felt that they had discovered a business opportunity and began to take the initiative to print the second batch. They also approached Romantina for cooperation. Many vendors were also tempted and began to purchase large quantities of the second batch of books, preparing to sell them to other cities.
Little did they know that what the Notting City soul masters were interested in was not the knowledge in the books, but the skin of the Mooing Spring Ox on the first batch of books.
and so.
When the "Soul Ring Second Refining Theory" spread to other cities, those soul masters cursed and suspected that they were being cheated.
After all, they did not enjoy any benefits from Moo Spring Ox's boasting, nor did they know any Romantina. They just thought that this was a whimsical guy. Since his theory was not recognized by the Spirit Hall, he found ways to publish it in order to make a fool of himself.
But those who were cheated also had to save their face and it was not easy for them to go to ordinary vendors to argue. Some people suffered the loss secretly, while a small number of others felt that they could not just let it go and planned to help Romantina "become famous."
So he thought of a crooked idea and started purchasing large quantities of "The Theory of Secondary Refining of Soul Rings" from vendors.
Don’t you want to be famous?
it is good!
Let you become famous! Let you become a "master"!
Romantina naturally had no idea about this kind of thing, but now she was quite happy about it. After all, this was the first time she made money by publishing theories.
Although it's not much, it feels great.
