Nine Revolution Exquisite Pagoda

The moment Ning Rongrong finally slipped the bracelet onto her wrist, a hint of confusion flickered across her face. She stared blankly at her wrist, as if sensing some ineffable strangeness.

It felt as though the bracelet fit her perfectly.

Meanwhile, Ye Feiyang was once again frozen in place, as if petrified.

Zhu Zhuqing, accustomed to this, stood by quietly, unfazed.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to voice her confusion, Zhu Zhuqing gently stopped her, "Don't disturb Master. This is just one of Master's old habits; he'll be fine in a moment."

She nodded obediently, though she felt a pang of regret. What a perfect opportunity, like time standing still. If only I could do something else with this time... Sigh, what a waste.

Ye Feiyang's consciousness sank into his mind as the system's prompt arrived as expected:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully taking in disciple two: Ning Rongrong!]

[Direct disciple Ning Rongrong has been successfully bound to the host's second Soul Ring slot!]

[Current host's second Soul Ring year limit dynamically updated to: 2000 years]

[Ning Rongrong's information panel has been expanded:]

Name: Ning Rongrong
Qualification Rating: S-Class
Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Current Soul Power: Level 26
Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow

[Ning Rongrong has been thoroughly analyzed by the system! Exclusive Growth Gift Pack granted:]

Martial Soul Advancement Pill * 1: Can optimize the Martial Soul's origin, greatly enhance potential, and guide the Martial Soul towards benign evolution to higher levels.

Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao * 1: Takes auxiliary as the great dao as the supreme foundation, containing the profound principles of subtle energy manipulation and law amplification.

[Recommended Secondary Cultivation Method:]

Scripture of Supreme Induction: Maximally enhances mental cultivation, greatly strengthens the resilience, purity, and capacity of spiritual power, effectively resisting external interference and the invasion of inner demons, and always maintaining absolute calmness and stability during spellcasting. It greatly benefits the Exquisite Heart Aperture and Soulmate Link, multiplying their effects.

[Compatibility Assessment: Perfect Fit! This disciple has immense potential. This combination of cultivation methods completely solves the pain points of her initial lack of self-preservation ability and the relatively single form of amplification in the later stages. It grants her diversified, strategic-level top-tier auxiliary means such as array construction, spiritual linking, and energy manipulation, and will ultimately guide her Martial Soul to evolve into a Natal Treasure that integrates offense, defense, and support – the Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda!]

[Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao Core Ultimate Skills Summary:]

Ultimate Form: Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda - Refines the Martial Soul itself into a Natal Treasure. The pagoda body possesses innate amplification dao patterns. Each layer corresponds to an ultimate amplification effect (Attack, Defense, Speed, Soul, Guard, Agility, Strength, Spirit, Fate), and can be combined to evolve into the Nine Treasure Exquisite Grand Array, integrating group amplification, absolute defense, enemy trapping, and counter-attack.

Exquisite Heart Aperture: Top-tier spiritual tempering and mental calculation technique. Achieves superhuman realms in thought speed, multitasking ability, and energy micro-manipulation precision, allowing for simultaneous precise application of multiple amplification effects on different targets, with real-time millisecond-level adjustments.

Soulmate Link: Deep spiritual linking spell. Can establish a mental connection with teammates, instantly transmitting complex information without words, sharing battlefield perception, precisely delivering amplification effects, and even guiding teammates' energy synergy to launch combined attacks or construct joint defenses.

Glazed Wall: Offense and defense conversion technique. Can instantly form a comprehensive energy shield using pure Soul Power, or condense a materialized glazed crystal wall for absolute defense. The crystal wall is incredibly sturdy and can carry a reflected damage effect.

"Good heavens, the system is truly generous to its disciples, bestowing such incredible treasures," Ye Feiyang marveled inwardly, feeling like a matchmaker once again.

Then, he considered that he could cultivate these heaven-defying techniques himself, and his mood immediately brightened.

The system had promised to leave benefits for him too. Yes, this pie was huge, but it smelled delicious!

He collected his thoughts and refocused his gaze. Two beautiful faces, each with a distinct style yet equally pleasing to the eye, came into view.

He had to admit, setting aside her tsundere personality, Ning Rongrong's appearance was indeed flawless. Pure and cute, she was a delight to behold.

Hmm, the type who looks like a goddess when quiet and like a maniac when active.

It's fine, a wild personality can be slowly tamed. Ye Feiyang nodded to himself.

"Master! You're awake!"

Ning Rongrong eagerly leaned forward, her eyes sparkling. "Quick, tell me, are you going to start teaching me now?"

Ye Feiyang's mouth twitched. Teach? How am I supposed to teach? What is this girl thinking about all day?

He put on a stern face, maintaining his master's dignity. "Indeed. Since you have entered my tutelage, I have prepared a great gift for you."

He turned to Zhu Zhuqing and instructed, "Zhuqing, go and close the courtyard gate. Master needs to properly teach your junior sister! This kind of secret cannot be easily exposed."

After confirming no one was observing them, Ye Feiyang solemnly took out a pill the size of a ping-pong ball.

Upon seeing the pill, Zhu Zhuqing knew that her new junior sister's fortune would be no less than her own.

Ning Rongrong was still lost in thought: A great gift? What kind of great gift? Can it be cashed out for a wedding?

Her thoughts were quickly captivated by the pill.

"Huh? Master, what are you holding? Why, why does it feel like there's a voice inside my body screaming at me to eat it immediately?"

Her eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the pill, instinctively swallowing.

Ye Feiyang held the pill out to her. "Since you sense it, then eat it."

"Ah? You're really going to eat it? It's... it's so big, my throat's a bit small..." Ning Rongrong hesitated.

"Of course, you can eat it."

Ye Feiyang's tone was calm, but he dropped a bombshell, "This pill can help your Martial Soul undergo a fundamental upgrade and sublimation. Are you sure you don't want to take it?"

"Martial Soul upgrade?"

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes widened instantly, almost suspecting she had misheard.

This sounded like a tall tale, or even the spiel of a con artist!

Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, nodded vigorously, her actions proving that her Master's words were not false.

Sensing an unprecedented craving from her Martial Soul and seeing Zhu Zhuqing's affirmation, Ning Rongrong steeled herself: She'd gamble! Even if it was poison, she'd accept it!

She took the pill and, with a look of resignation, stuffed it into her mouth.

She expected to choke on such a large pill, but to her surprise, the moment it entered her mouth, it dissolved into a torrent of immense energy. Without needing to swallow, it surged directly towards where her Martial Soul resided!

The powerful energy instantly enveloped her seven-layered pagoda. Ning Rongrong felt her Martial Soul undergoing earth-shattering changes, emitting crisp cracking sounds from within.

Before she could even react, the pagoda's body inexplicably grew by two levels!

Its originally brilliant blue body then transformed into a noble, mysterious, deep purple!

Not only that, just like Zhu Zhuqing's experience, after remodeling the Martial Soul, there was still a large surplus of energy. It directly propelled her Soul Power Level to break through two ranks, leaping from level 26 to level 28!

This sudden transformation left Ning Rongrong completely stunned, and then an indescribable joy overwhelmed her!

The moment the upgrade was complete, she was so excited she couldn't control herself. She let out a scream and leaped up like an octopus, clinging tightly to Ye Feiyang, babbling incoherently:

"Husband... uh, no! Master! Master! My Martial Soul! It really upgraded!!!"

Ning Rongrong's reaction and the successful upgrade of her Martial Soul were within Ye Feiyang's expectations.

He wasn't surprised by this, only finding it a bit difficult to breathe from her embrace.

He tried to pry off the human-shaped pendant clinging to him but found that this girl was holding on unusually tight.

Ning Rongrong continued to exclaim excitedly, "Master, look! It turned purple! It's called the Nine Revolution Exquisite Pagoda now!"

As if to prove it, she finally let go of Ye Feiyang and, unable to wait, summoned her brand-new Martial Soul in front of the two of them.

A pagoda, shimmering with a soft purple light, with a more exquisite and profound design, exuding a far more powerful aura than before, floated in her palm.

Although Ye Feiyang knew the inside story, the appearance of the Nine Revolution Exquisite Pagoda shocked him even more than Zhu Zhuqing's previous evolution.

Was the effect of this pill too overpowered? It directly broke through the original limitations?

His heart churned like stormy seas, but outwardly, he remained as steady as an old dog, appearing calm and in control. "Disciple, don't be so surprised. It's just standard procedure, nothing special."

Ning Rongrong nodded like a pecking chicken, her inner monologue running wild again: Is Master hinting at something? He's talking about 'chicken' and 'operating'...

Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously again from the side, using her own experience to endorse her Master's words.

Ning Rongrong was so happy she could almost fly!

Even Zhu Zhuqing was so certain; it seemed she had also gained immense benefits!

No wonder she could beat Dai Mubai!

The transformation of her Martial Soul meant she would no longer be limited by the innate constraints of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. Soul Sage would no longer be her endpoint!

She now desperately wanted to tell her father this news: Look! Look! I just ran away from home, and I've given my Martial Soul a super boost! Tell me if this was worth it!

Although she was pampered and prone to tears, this time it was purely tears of joy.

She never dreamed that her mere attraction to his looks would lead her to stumble upon such a treasure trove!

Fortunately! Fortunately, she put aside her spoiled young lady's pride at the critical moment and decisively chose to be a happy beauty connoisseur!

If she had been too proud and missed this incredible opportunity, she would have had no one to blame for her tears!

Overwhelmed by immense happiness, she once again said something astonishing, blurting out to Ye Feiyang, "Master! You're too good to me! This humble girl has no way to repay you, I, I can only give you..."

Ye Feiyang's face darkened, and he quickly raised his hand to interrupt her.

Such suggestive words were fine to think about, but how could she say them in public... Well, even though he liked to hear them and wanted to hear them, she couldn't be so direct!

Where would this Master's old face be put!

Awkward! So awkward!

Seeing Ning Rongrong about to cling to Ye Feiyang again.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly and subtly shifted her position, cleverly positioning herself between the two.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to start acting spoiled, Zhu Zhuqing interrupted her first, saying calmly, "Junior Sister, I know you're eager, but please don't rush."

"Master has more important things to teach you. Please sit quietly first."

She glanced at Ning Rongrong and added, "Also, Master is everyone's Master. Please mind your boundaries and don't always be so touchy-feely."

Ning Rongrong looked bewildered, as if she had heard something incredible.

Was there anything more shocking than a Martial Soul upgrade?

The expression fell into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, making her secretly pleased.

Yes, this is the feeling. Back then, she herself was just as shocked and disbelieving.

Seeing this, Ye Feiyang quickly nodded in agreement. "Zhuqing is right. Rongrong, calm yourself first. Focus your mind and spirit, and your master will impart a cultivation technique to you."

She wasn't unfamiliar with cultivation techniques, so she didn't react too strongly.

She just hadn't expected Ye Feiyang to have one.

He really has one?

Ning Rongrong's attention was immediately captured. Seeing how serious they both were, she was genuinely curious to witness it.

She sat up straight, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Feiyang and said with surprising boldness, "Master, I'm ready! Teach me!"

Ye Feiyang rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to argue with her suggestive wording.

A little smugness is nice, as long as I know it myself.

He had already communicated with the system and transformed the complete inheritances of the Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao and Scripture of Supreme Induction into two divine念 (thought-forms) information streams, directly pouring them into Ning Rongrong's spiritual consciousness.

A familiar process, the same effect.

The profound meanings of the vast scriptures, the circulation routes, and numerous subtle insights were deeply imprinted into the depths of her soul.

All she needed to do was spend time familiarizing herself with them, comprehending them thoroughly, and then gradually mastering and improving through actual combat.

"Disciple,"

Ye Feiyang's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "The Scripture of Supreme Induction primarily cultivates the state of mind, allowing you to remain calm and composed under any circumstances. As for the Glazed Wall from the Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao, you may prioritize cultivating it. This technique integrates defense and counter-attack. If anyone attacks you in the future, as long as their strength is insufficient to break through your Glazed Wall in one blow, they will suffer a one hundred percent backlash!"

He struck a pose like a reclusive master, preemptively laying down the groundwork. "Alright, I have imparted everything I can to you both."

"The path of cultivation is one where the master leads the way, but one's survival depends on oneself. You must study diligently. How high you can grow in the future will depend on your own comprehension and effort."

The implication was: I've taught you all I can, the introductory version. If you have any questions later, figure it out yourself. Don't come asking me! And if you do come asking? Sorry, I'm busy!

After all, he only knew what the system had given him. If they asked anything too deep, he wouldn't be able to help.

Hearing this, the two young women's expressions turned serious. They felt the extraordinary nature of the cultivation techniques and their master's earnest expectations, and were deeply moved. They respectfully replied, "Yes, Master! We will definitely cultivate diligently and not let you down!"

"Master, don't worry, we'll work hard!" Ning Rongrong also promised, uncharacteristically serious.

"Alright..."

Ye Feiyang waved his sleeve, his masterly demeanor vanishing instantly as he returned to reality. "Since the important matters are finished, your task now is to clean up the house and the yard."

He pointed to the messy courtyard and rooms, and continued to arrange. "I'll go into town to buy some necessary daily necessities for you, and also purchase some ingredients for the next few days."

As soon as she heard they were going into town, Ning Rongrong, who had never done manual labor, immediately became unhappy.

Clean the house? Impossible!

Her eyes darted around, and she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, instantly getting an idea. She took out some gold coins and jingled them in her hand. "Senior Sister Zhuqing~ the most beautiful Senior Sister Zhuqing~ How about I give you money, and you help me do my share of the work? One hundred gold coins! How's that?"

Ye Feiyang, standing nearby, perked up the moment he heard "gold coins," especially "one hundred."

He didn't give Zhu Zhuqing a chance to refuse and immediately made the decision. "Deal! This matter is happily decided! Rongrong, hurry up and give the money to your senior sister!"

Zhu Zhuqing: "???"

I haven't agreed yet!

Ning Rongrong, afraid Zhu Zhuqing would go back on her word, quickly counted out one hundred golden coins and stuffed them into Zhu Zhuqing's hand, saying happily:

"Senior Sister~ Thank you for your hard work! Please, please!"
