Jiang Taichu: There Is Something in This World That Can Raise the Age Limit of Soul Rings One Can Absorb!
"Huh?!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
"Sister Lingling, don't move in!"
Seeing Ye Lingling's gaze grow increasingly dangerous, Ning Rongrong hurried to explain:
"I mean, how could Brother Taichu's house be as comfortable as the one you're staying in, Sister?"
"Sister Lingling, you shouldn't put yourself through that."
Ning Rongrong still wanted to live alone with Jiang Taichu.
If Ye Lingling suddenly joined them, wouldn't she be a living, breathing third wheel?
"Rongrong, I have a reason for moving in."
Ye Lingling folded her arms.
"What reason?"
Ning Rongrong's interest was piqued, and she glanced at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling told Ning Rongrong about the conversation she had just had with Jiang Taichu.
"What?!"
Ning Rongrong's face was full of shock. She turned to Jiang Taichu, her eyes brimming with expectation.
"Then, Brother Taichu, can my Martial Soul evolve?"
Jiang Taichu shook his head, shattering Ning Rongrong's hopes.
"Rongrong, yours is a Tool Martial Soul, and it doesn't have any beast-related attributes. Even if you stay with me, there's no chance of Martial Soul Evolution."
For any beast-related Martial Soul, the nourishment of Jiang Taichu's bloodline had a high chance of promoting its evolution.
For example, the sixth and seventh worshippers of the Worship Hall had the Coiling Dragon Staff as their Tool Martial Soul.
But their Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Souls had beast-related attributes.
The nourishment of Jiang Taichu's bloodline could also affect their Martial Souls.
"All right."
Ning Rongrong quickly let go of her hopes.
After that, Jiang Taichu had a simple breakfast with Ning Rongrong and the other two women.
"Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling, Rongrong and I have business at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It may be a few days before we return."
After a brief farewell.
Jiang Taichu set off with Ning Rongrong for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After half a day's journey, Jiang Taichu arrived at Seven Treasure City, at the foot of the mountain where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stood.
It was worth mentioning that Seven Treasure City was no less prosperous than Heaven Dou City.
The only difference was that Seven Treasure City covered far less ground than Heaven Dou City.
Seven Treasure Mountain, beside Seven Treasure City, was where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located.
Ning Rongrong took Jiang Taichu by the hand and led him toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall with practiced ease.
Along the way, every member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect looked at Ning Rongrong with awe and fear.
That was because Ning Rongrong was known throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as the Little Demoness.
Every member was terrified that Ning Rongrong would set her sights on them.
"Rongrong, the people in your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seem a little afraid of you."
On the way, Jiang Taichu saw the fearful looks in the eyes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members and couldn't resist teasing Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong avoided Jiang Taichu's gaze and stammered:
"Brother Taichu, I... I'm actually a very nice person."
"They're afraid of me because of my noble status, for sure. Rongrong definitely isn't that kind of bad girl."
Jiang Taichu rubbed Ning Rongrong's head and reassured her:
"I know."
"I don't care what your personality is like. You're as well-behaved as a kitten when you're with me, and that's enough."
Only then did Ning Rongrong breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. Her Brother Taichu didn't mind the dark chapters of her past.
More than ten minutes later.
Jiang Taichu and Ning Rongrong finally entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's main hall.
As soon as they stepped inside, Ning Rongrong's sweet, soft voice rang out.
"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I'm back!"
When Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo saw Ning Rongrong return, their frostlike expressions instantly melted, and radiant smiles spread across their faces.
"Rongrong's back! Grandpa missed you to death."
Sword Douluo flashed to Ning Rongrong's side and scooped the dainty, adorable little girl into his arms.
"Hey, you old swordsman, haven't you held her long enough?"
"Hurry up and let me hold Rongrong too. I haven't seen her in ages."
Bone Douluo stood to the side, looking resentfully at Sword Douluo.
"Dream on."
"Old Bones, I only just picked her up. How could it be your turn already?"
And so, the two Titled Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of the Soul Master World bickered like a pair of mischievous old children.
Before long.
Ning Fengzhi walked up to Jiang Taichu with a kindly smile.
"Young brother, you must be the young genius Jiang, famous throughout Heaven Dou for defeating Yu Tianheng in a single move. Now that I've met you, I can see you're truly extraordinary."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also turned their attention to Jiang Taichu.
"Jiang Taichu, we meet again."
Sword Douluo greeted Jiang Taichu.
Three and a half months ago, Sword Douluo had visited Heaven Dou City and given Jiang Taichu a small wooden sword containing three traces of his sword intent.
"This junior pays his respects to Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo."
Jiang Taichu bowed slightly, observing the proper courtesies.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong, still in Sword Douluo's arms, spoke up:
"Daddy, Brother Taichu came to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time because he wants to do some big business with us. You can't turn him down, Daddy."
Ning Fengzhi paid little mind to the big business Ning Rongrong had mentioned.
As the sect master who personally managed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's business, he knew perfectly well just how extensive it was.
In his view, the big business Jiang Taichu wanted to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could only be considered a small deal by the sect's standards.
However, his daughter had spoken up, and there was also the value Jiang Taichu had demonstrated.
Whatever business Jiang Taichu wanted to do, he would agree to it.
"Young genius Jiang, whatever business you want to do with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, just tell me."
Ning Fengzhi spoke generously.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, standing nearby, also paid little mind to the big business Jiang Taichu had mentioned.
"Sect Master Ning, I have a method."
"At the very least, it can earn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coins and secure the sect a place in the annals of history."
"Would you be interested in this big business, Sect Master Ning?"
Jiang Taichu spoke calmly.
With those words, Ning Fengzhi began to take him seriously.
Not only that, Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also focused their attention on Jiang Taichu.
For a moment, Jiang Taichu became the center of everyone's attention.
"Young genius Jiang, is what you said true?"
Ning Fengzhi swallowed.
"That's a conservative estimate."
"However, I'll need thirty percent of the profits."
"If you agree, Sect Master Ning, I'll tell you the method."
Jiang Taichu stated his terms.
"Fine. If it's truly as you say, I'll give you thirty percent of the profits!"
Ning Fengzhi was a man of resolve as well, and he agreed to Jiang Taichu's terms on the spot.
Besides, he thought Jiang Taichu had asked for too little. Even if Jiang Taichu had taken fifty percent, Ning Fengzhi would have had no objections.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi agree, Jiang Taichu spoke slowly:
"Sect Master Ning, suppose there were something in this world that could raise the age limit of the Soul Rings a Soul Master could absorb, allowing an ordinary Soul Master to absorb, as their First Soul Ring, a Soul Ring they would otherwise have to wait until their second or third ring to absorb."
"And suppose the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent had yet to discover this thing's effect. Sect Master Ning, how much profit do you think it could bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
