Chapter 74 Ning Fengzhi was astonished. Had the problem that had plagued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a thousand years been solved?
"Fengzhi."
His voice was calm yet firm.
"You've misunderstood Rongrong."
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.
"This time, Rongrong did not act up."
Chen Xin continued.
"On the contrary, she did a very good job, because what she had was related to the future of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I, as a Title Douluo, had to personally escort it."
Does this concern the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
What could possibly determine the future of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Ning Rongrong didn't keep them waiting too long.
She stepped forward and gently placed the jade box on her father's desk.
Then, the box lid was opened.
The tulips lay quietly in the box, their golden light shimmering in the study, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Ning Fengzhi was stunned.
Gu Rong was also stunned.
"This is..."
Gu Rong leaned closer to take a look, and frowned.
"A single herb? Could something like this possibly affect the future of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
His tone was clearly puzzled, and even somewhat dismissive.
As a Title Douluo, he had seen countless good things.
No matter how precious a medicinal herb was, how precious could it be?
Ning Fengzhi didn't speak, but his expression also showed confusion.
Chen Xin looked at the two people and gently shook his head.
"You don't care now because you don't know its effects. Once you know its effects, you won't have this expression on your faces."
"This Immortal Herb is called Beautiful Silk Tulip. It can absorb the essence of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon. After consuming it, the user can also possess this property. But the most important thing is not this."
His gaze fell on Ning Fengzhi, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"It can allow gem-type spirits to break through their limitations and evolve."
The study fell into a deathly silence.
Ning Fengzhi's pupils suddenly contracted.
The teacup in Gu Rong's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," splashing tea all over the floor, but he was completely unaware.
"You... what did you say, Uncle Jian?" Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled.
"Evolution? Gem-type spirits? Doesn't that mean..."
"That's right."
Chen Xin nodded.
"If the effects of this Immortal Herb are true, then after consuming it, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The four words exploded in Ning Fengzhi's mind like a thunderclap.
What is the greatest regret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over the past thousand years?
It's not that it can only be used as a support Soul Master, nor that the Spirit has no offensive capabilities, but rather that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit can only ever remain at the seventh level and can never break through to the eighth or ninth level.
This is the inherent constraint of the Spirit itself, a problem that countless ancestors could not solve even after a lifetime of effort.
If... if it could break through this constraint...
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could truly evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...
What does that mean?
This not only means that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will welcome a Title Douluo-level support-type Soul Master!
This also means that the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will undergo a qualitative leap!
This even means that the regret that has plagued the sect for a thousand years will be made up for in this generation!
Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the golden Immortal Herb on the table.
At this moment, he finally realized why his daughter had crushed the life-saving jade pendant and made Sword Douluo personally escort her.
Because this matter truly concerns the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If it were him, it wouldn't just be a Title Douluo escorting him!
"Rongrong, you did the right thing. Dad misunderstood you just now. I apologize!"
Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter, his voice full of sincerity.
"Dad, I'm not used to you being so polite to me. Let's not talk about this anymore. Quickly take this tulip."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand dismissively, interrupting her father's apology.
Looking into his daughter's clear eyes, Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
This child was truly thinking of him.
However, he did not take it immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked a crucial question.
"Rongrong, how did you get this Beautiful Silk Tulip?"
Ning Rongrong blinked and answered truthfully.
"Tianchen gave it to me."
Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback.
Ye Tianchen... It was this young man again. Indeed, only he could possess such a heaven-defying existence.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.
"Since it was given to you by Ye Tianchen, then this Immortal Herb should rightfully be absorbed by you."
His tone was gentle yet firm.
"Rongrong, your talent is even better than your father's. After your Spirit evolves, you will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future. This is the best choice for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
He was telling the truth.
He knew his daughter's talent better than anyone else.
A twelve-year-old Soul Master with over thirty levels of soul power, plus the help of that mysterious "god," her future achievements were limitless.
If she could become the owner of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...
The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be even brighter.
However, Ning Rongrong did not say anything after hearing her father's words.
She simply raised her hand silently.
Three spirit rings slowly rose beneath her feet.
Purple, purple, purple!
Three thousand-year-old spirit rings slowly rotated in the study, emitting a soft light.
"Rongrong, what's wrong with you...?"
Gu Rong scratched his head, seemingly not understanding Ning Rongrong's meaning.
"Why are you showing us your spirit rings?"
Ning Rongrong didn't explain; she just quietly looked at her father and two grandfathers.
A look of realization flashed across Chen Xin's eyes, followed by a relieved smile.
Ning Fengzhi also realized what was happening, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Only Gu Rong was oblivious, frowning and muttering to himself.
"Three thousand-year-old spirit rings are indeed powerful, but what does that have to do with Immortal Herbs?"
Chen Xin glanced at him sideways and gave a soft snort.
"You old bones, is your head filled with bones?"
His tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm.
"Do you still remember the 'god' in Rongrong's mind?"
Gu Rong paused for a moment.
"Since that 'deity' can help Rongrong increase the age of her existing spirit rings."
Chen Xin continued.
"It's not impossible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit to evolve into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit. That's why Rongrong gave up this Beautiful Silk Tulip for Fengzhi to consume."
He paused, then looked at Gu Rong with a meaningful gaze.
"Do you understand now, old man?"
Gu Rong's face instantly turned red.
"You old swordsman, you think this through perfectly!"
He stubbornly retorted.
"Do you think I can't see through it? I was just... just testing you!"
Chen Xin remained silent.
He merely glanced at Gu Rong up and down, then let out a soft chuckle.
"Oh."
That soft laugh was like igniting a powder keg.
Gu Rong instantly bristled.
"What kind of look is that, you old swordsman?! Want to go out and practice some more?!"
"Let's practice then."
Chen Xin glanced at him casually.
"Are you afraid of a brainless old man like you?"
"Then let's go!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two figures disappeared from the study.
