"Besides, Lu Yuan has no reason to harm me. I trust him!"
"That's why I eat it!"
Chapter 82 The Ownership of the Qiluo Tulips: A Heavy Responsibility - Ning Fengzhi
Qibao Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the blooming golden tulips in the jade box before him, his face showing shock and his expression changing drastically.
"Nephew Lu, can this Qiluo Tulip truly help my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve?"
He gazed intently at the Qiluo Tulip, his excited expression completely devoid of the demeanor of the former sect leader of the three upper sects.
"That's natural. Immortal herbs are precious, and you can't find many even if you search the entire Douluo Continent. This Qiluo Tulip is the most suitable for gem-type martial souls."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the best among gemstone martial souls; consuming it will cause it to evolve."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and immediately explained the effects of the Qiluo Tulip.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had helped him a lot, so he took this opportunity to give them the Qiluo Tulip as a way of repaying their favor.
Moreover, without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would have had no chance of obtaining the Thunder Magnetite, which contains boundless Thunder God power. Furthermore, he would still need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's help in the future.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may not be as good as the Spirit Hall in terms of information acquisition, the Seven Treasure Trading Company spans two great empires and covers the entire continent, so it can definitely obtain a lot of information.
Wherever Thunder Swamp is filled, Lu Yuan will not let any opportunity to search go unnoticed.
"call"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Fengzhi's breathing quickened, and his gaze became fixed on the Qiluo Tulip.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been passed down for ten thousand years, thoroughly making the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda resound throughout the entire continent. However, the inability to break through to the seventy-ninth level has always been a terrible thing.
Countless ancestors overcame numerous obstacles, striving to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to the level of eight or even nine treasures.
But without exception, they all failed, and now this long-cherished wish of ten thousand years is finally going to come true in my own hands.
Ning Fengzhi will become the greatest sect leader in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his name will be recorded in the annals of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
No, in the future it will be the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile School, and even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School!
“Nephew, I won’t stand on ceremony with you this time. This Qiluo Tulip is indeed important to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so I will accept it without hesitation.”
“From today onwards, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will fully support you, and you will become the most honored guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even if your uncle were to marry his daughter to you, your uncle would not object.”
Ning Fengzhi looked at Lu Yuan with a solemn expression and spoke, his tone full of seriousness.
Ning Fengzhi had never made such a promise before, but the surprise Lu Yuan brought him today was truly immense.
"No need. Rongrong and I are good friends. Uncle Ning, please accept it without worry."
"But I would like to ask Uncle Ning to help me find the Thunder Swamp, as this is related to my future cultivation."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan's lips twitched slightly.
He didn't really have any strong feelings for Ning Rongrong, so he decided to let things take their natural course; an arranged marriage was definitely not an option.
"In that case, then forget it."
"Alas! What a pity."
Ning Fengzhi felt a deep sense of regret that he hadn't been able to win over the Qiluo Tulip while also making Lu Yuan his son-in-law.
Alas, in the end, it's still my own daughter who's useless. If Rongrong had met Lu Yuan earlier, why did the Ye family's girl and the Dugu family's girl have to seize the opportunity so early?
It's one thing to have your position taken first, but after nearly a year of getting along, you still haven't won Lu Yuan's heart. You're really stupid.
She's such a good-for-nothing brat.
"Then I'll leave everything to Uncle Ning. I'll take my leave now."
Lu Yuan ignored the regretful look on Ning Fengzhi's face, stood up, and then spoke in a very calm tone.
Ning Fengzhi personally got up to see Lu Yuan off from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Watching the departing figure, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. What a perfect young man! If he could become his son-in-law, he would be overjoyed.
Tsk, Rongrong, that stupid daughter of mine, how come she didn't inherit any of my skills? If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't do it myself, I would love to do it myself.
Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi had someone summon Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Then, gazing at the beautiful tulips before him, he fell into deep thought.
He hesitated
Is it better for me to benefit from the sect's food, or for Rongrong, who has the best talent, to benefit from it?
After pondering for a long time, Ning Fengzhi still couldn't make a decision.
According to what Lu Yuan just told me, this Qiluo Tulip has the ability to evolve gem-type martial souls, and the better the user's talent, the more buffs they will receive.
Ning Fengzhi himself has an innate soul power level of eight, while his daughter Ning Rongrong has an innate soul power level of nine.
Judging by talent, Ning Rongrong is the most suitable person to take the Qiluo Tulip.
But the problem is, Rongrong is a woman!
Indeed, in Ning Fengzhi's mind, Ning Rongrong's identity as a woman was the biggest problem.
He certainly didn't look down on women; he only had one daughter, Rongrong, whom he cherished like a princess.
As for why women are the biggest problem, it's mainly because of the issue of inheritance and childbirth.
There is only one Qiluo tulip after all. If Rongrong eats it, then she will have to help the sect to have more offspring.
That is to say, you have to have children, and you can't just have one; you have to have many, one after another.
As for why they should have more children, it's because only by passing on their bloodline can they completely change the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, awakening a martial soul is full of uncertainties, and a few children simply cannot ensure the complete inheritance of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Why isn't Rongrong a man? It's such a pity.
While Ning Fengzhi was pondering, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also arrived together.
Upon seeing the arrival of the two current sect elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi finally stopped hiding his troubles and directly told them all.
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's troubles, both Title Douluos immediately showed distress on their faces.
“Rongrong’s talent is indeed very good. She has a level nine innate soul power, and she is still young. Taking this immortal herb may help her evolve her martial soul to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But as you said, Fengzhi, she is a woman. It would be too cruel for her to keep having children.”
"So you should eat it yourself, Fengzhi."
Bone Douluo shook his head and said in a helpless tone.
He does indeed dote on Ning Rongrong, but let Feng Zhi handle these matters; Rongrong shouldn't get involved.
Everything was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
This is his responsibility as the sect leader.
Sword Douluo immediately closed his eyes; he didn't want to get involved in this.
Matters between men and women, matters of inheritance—none of these can fascinate one more than the way of the sword.
Chapter 83 Shock from all sides
In the end, Ning Fengzhi took the Qiluo Tulip, and the matter of inheriting the sect was completely placed on his shoulders.
To decide who would own the Qiluo Tulip, Ning Fengzhi even had Ning Rongrong come back specifically.
Wu Ju told her about the sect's inheritance.
When Ning Rongrong heard that eating Qiluo Tulips would result in having more children—not just three or four, but at least twenty or thirty—she immediately gave up.
Ning Fengzhi agreed to this, and then, with the protection of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, he consumed the Qiluo Tulip.
Not long after, his martial soul completely evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Fengzhi's talent was ultimately not as good as Ning Rongrong's, and coupled with his age of nearly fifty, he ultimately missed out on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
…………
Wuhun City, Hall of Worship!
"Brother, Xiaoxue's letter!"
The burly Golden Crocodile Douluo, clad in golden armor, rushed into the main hall, holding a letter sent from Heaven Dou City.
His steps were hurried, and his expression was quite anxious.
Normally, even a letter from Qian Renxue would not have made this Second Elder so anxious. The reason for his urgency today is that the letter was sent back by Serpent Spear Douluo himself.
As the sole heir of the Qian family in the next generation, Qian Renxue is also hailed by her elder brother as the most likely seed to inherit the God of Angels.
In the eyes of the many retainers of the Spirit Hall, her safety was far more important than their own lives.
At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo was naturally filled with worry upon receiving such an urgent letter.
In the main hall
At this moment, an old man dressed in white robes with a dignified expression was standing under the statue of an angel.
“Golden Crocodile, you’re not young anymore. I’ve always told you to keep a calm mind.”
"Xue'er will be fine. If something happens to her, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will cease to exist."
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the Golden Crocodile Douluo who was walking in hurriedly.
Qian Daoliu's tone was indifferent and confident, as if destroying the Heavenly Dou royal family was an easy thing for him.
"Brother, Xue'er had Serpent Spear personally deliver it. Don't play dumb. It's just the two of us here."
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
Jin E Douluo silently approached Qian Daoliu and, without saying a word, shoved the letter in his hand into Qian Daoliu's.
Qian Daoliu shook his head, reluctantly opened the letter, and his expression quickly hardened before he nodded.
"How are you? Is Xue'er alright?"
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had finished reading the letter, Golden Crocodile Douluo also asked curiously.
"Xue'er is fine. She seems to have figured things out and plans to focus on her cultivation from now on."
"However, this time the letter was sent back proactively in order to ask the Spirit Hall to use all available channels to search for information about the prosperous land of Thunder Swamp."
Qian Daoliu casually said a few words and then handed the letter in his hand to the Golden Crocodile Douluo standing to the side.
Seeing that his elder brother didn't want to say more, Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately took the letter in his hand and began to read it carefully. Soon, his expression changed as he read the message.
"Brother, the Heavenly Dou Empire has truly produced such a genius."
"Is it really believable that he defeated Xiaoxue at the age of thirteen?"
"Even though Xiaoxue wasted her talent because of the plan, her soul power is at least at the Soul King level. With the support of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, even a Soul Emperor would not be her match."
"If such a prodigy cannot be controlled, then we should..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already very clear.
"Shut up. Even if Xue'er fails to win this young man over, we cannot lay a hand on him."
"At the age of thirteen, he was able to easily defeat Xue'er, making her realize her true nature and understand that soul power is the foundation of everything. Now, he has even given Xue'er a celestial herb to help her restore her talent and increase her soul power."
"How can we do such an ungrateful thing?"
"From today onwards, this young man named Lu Yuan will be the most honored guest of my Hall of Offerings."
"As for Xue'er's request to find a place where thunder is abundant, you should also give the order to mobilize all channels to do your best to find it."
Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Daoliu's expression immediately changed, and he said with great displeasure.
"Brother, you're right. I was being one-sided in my thinking."
"I will take charge of this matter."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was somewhat helpless, as his elder brother placed great importance on repaying kindness.
He even once gave up the opportunity to kill the murderer of his own son because of a promise.
Even after all these years, despite having the ability to completely annihilate the Haotian Sect, they gave up because of a promise.
"Don't lay a hand on this child. After all, if you do, even I might not be able to save you."
Qian Daoliu opened the letter in his hand again and read it word by word, his eyes gradually changing.
