Quan Yi composed himself.
He decided not to overthink future matters; aiming too high was not a good thing.
'Immortality' was still far off for Quan Yi, so he should focus on the present.
He took out a large sheet of drawing paper again and, with concise strokes, roughly sketched the outline of the ancient map.
Due to time constraints, Quan Yi quickly finished 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 sketching a rough world map in class.
However, even this rough drawing deeply shocked them.
In their minds, the Douluo Continent was the center of the world, but on the map, the Douluo Continent was just a corner.
Quan Yi put down his pen and introduced, "This is the image in my mind."
Yun Qiong stared at the map, her shock gradually turning into delight.
She murmured, "With this map, it will be extremely helpful for our future voyages across the sea."
Quan Yi, who was close by, heard Yun Qiong's murmur.
"Voyages? What voyages?"
Yun Qiong recounted their previous discussion to Quan Yi.
Quan Yi also lowered his head in thought.
Relocating the territory to the coast.
The more he thought, the brighter Quan Yi's eyes became.
"I think it's fine. I also agree with your decision."
In the future, the Quan Family's main development directions would be Soul Masters and Firearms.
The former required long-term investment and experimentation on children before awakening to determine the probability and extent of increasing Innate Soul Power.
However, this was a time-consuming and massive long-term task.
In the short term, there might not be any obvious results.
The development of Firearms, on the other hand, was different. After several years of development, they had established a complete process.
As long as there were enough raw materials, they could build a Firearm Troops capable of sweeping through tens of thousands of troops in a very short time.
However, in peacetime without war, the produced Firearms could only be stored in warehouses, gathering dust.
Even if they lowered the production costs, if they couldn't profit from Firearms, the development of Firearms would stagnate.
Going to the vast ocean would not only allow them to use Firearms secretly but also bring huge benefits to the family.
For the family, there was no better choice.
Moreover, when it came to 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 some extent.
Most frighteningly, this was not 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 drawn to the vast ocean.
"Since you agree, then my general direction is set."
Yun Qiong replied.
Originally, Yun Qiong thought that Quan Yi would resist the seaside environment due to his own attributes, but she didn't expect Quan Yi to 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 besides investigating the 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 mind, but to realize this idea, I need more blacksmiths and more iron ore."
Quan Yi put forward his request.
Yun Qiong said in surprise, "Are you going to produce firearms on a large scale? But we don't have many people, and the number of iron mines and blacksmiths we currently have is 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 off from Heaven Dou City to various regions to investigate various intelligence.
And, the Quan Family also slowly began to make various preparations to leave Heaven Dou City.
Of course, no one paid attention to everything they did.
A week passed, and in the gradually busy family, he was the most leisurely person.
For a whole week, Quan Yi stayed in the family's library, searching for various materials and information.
The Quan Family Library was established by Yun Qiong.
The library is four stories high, the tallest building in the territory.
All clansmen can enter and browse books.
Under Yun Qiong's painstaking management, she transformed this library into the top simulated environment most suitable for her cultivation.
The various collections in it are very rare and precious items that are not easily found outside.
Under Yun Qiong's collection for decades, the number of books has 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 donated by the nobles in the city to Yun Qiong.
The head of the Quan Family Boutique, a powerful Soul Saint-level Soul Master.
For the nobles, being able to exchange a few insignificant books for friendship with a Soul Saint powerhouse is definitely a great deal.
Therefore, Yun Qiong also took the opportunity to obtain many precious books that were not available 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 are related to snake-type Martial Souls and Soul Beasts, and a small part are books on other types of Soul Beasts.
However, other types of Soul Beasts have one thing in common, that is, they are all dangerous species with toxins.
The book in Quan Yi's hand was called Detailed Explanation of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is very scarce, and there are no famous Soul Masters except for Dugu Bo.
Due to the scarcity, there are very few books on the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.
In addition to the Martial Soul, Quan Yi found research on the real Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
"Unexpectedly, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was not originally a venomous snake carrying toxins."
Looking at the introduction of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent in the book, Quan Yi seemed to understand something.
Various information about Dugu Bo from the outside world is constantly fermenting.
The poison dominates the world, and he is the first person to achieve the title of Douluo with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.
The resounding title pushed Dugu Bo's reputation to a higher position.
However, Quan Yi, who had seen the real situation of Dugu Bo, 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 Douluo Continent, the inheritance of Martial Souls is generally carried out through bloodline.
Therefore, the same family will awaken the same Martial Soul.
However, even with the same Martial Soul, changes occur based on the individual Soul Master's choices and development.
Thus, even with the same Martial Soul, their achievements can vary greatly.
And the reason Dugu Bo was able to stand out from all the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Souls is likely because he chose the path of 'poison' for his development, and put a lot of thought and effort into using poison.
An excellent choice and unremitting efforts allowed Dugu Bo to reach the pinnacle of the 'poison' path on the continent.
However, if the Jade Phosphorous Serpent has such a huge talent in using poison, why weren't there any famous Soul Masters before Dugu Bo? Now Quan Yi seems to know the reason.
That is, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent is not a poisonous snake to begin with.
