Nine Revolution Exquisite Pagoda

The moment Ning Rongrong finally slipped the bracelet onto her wrist, a trace of confusion crossed her face. She lowered her head and stared blankly at it, as if she had sensed something indescribably strange.

It felt as though the bracelet fit her perfectly.

At that moment, Ye Feiyang froze again, as if he had been petrified.

Zhu Zhuqing was already used to it. Unfazed, she quietly stood guard at the side.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to voice her doubts, Zhu Zhuqing softly stopped her. "Don't disturb Master. It's an old habit of his. He'll be fine in a moment."

She obediently nodded, yet inwardly found it such a pity. What a perfect opportunity, like time itself has stopped. It would be so nice if I could do something else... Sigh, what a waste.

Ye Feiyang's consciousness had already sunk into his mind, and the system notification sounded right on cue:

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully taking in your second disciple: Ning Rongrong!]

[Personal Disciple Ning Rongrong has successfully been bound to the Host's second Soul Ring slot!]

[The Host's current second Soul Ring Age has dynamically updated to: 2,000 years]

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

Name: Ning Rongrong

Aptitude Rating: S-rank

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! An exclusive growth gift pack has been awarded:]

Martial Soul Advancement Pill x1: Optimizes the Martial Soul's origin, greatly enhancing potential and guiding the Martial Soul toward beneficial evolution at a higher level.

Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao x1: Founded upon the supreme principle that support itself is the Great Dao, containing the mysteries of precise energy control and law amplification.

[Recommended supplementary cultivation technique:]

Scripture of Supreme Induction: Maximally enhances one's state of mind, greatly strengthening the resilience, purity, and capacity of spiritual power. It effectively resists external interference and attacks from inner demons, ensuring absolute calmness and stability while casting techniques. It is immensely beneficial to the Exquisite Heart Aperture and Soulmate Link, multiplying their effects.

[Compatibility Assessment: Perfect match! This disciple possesses tremendous potential. This cultivation technique combination completely resolves her early weakness of having no means of self-protection and her later limitation of having relatively singular amplification methods. It grants her diverse, strategic, top-tier support methods such as formation construction, spiritual links, and energy control, ultimately guiding her Martial Soul to evolve into an integrated offensive, defensive, and support natal treasure—the Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda!]

[Outline of the Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao's core ultimate techniques:]

Ultimate Form: Nine Treasure Exquisite Pagoda—Refines the Martial Soul itself into a natal treasure. The pagoda is naturally inscribed with amplification Dao patterns, each level corresponding to an ultimate amplification effect: attack, defense, speed, soul, protection, agility, strength, spirit, and life. These can also be combined to form the Nine Treasure Exquisite Grand Formation, integrating group amplification, absolute defense, enemy entrapment, and counterattacks.

Exquisite Heart Aperture: A supreme method of spiritual tempering and mental calculation. It brings thought speed, multithreaded processing ability, and precision energy control to inhuman levels, allowing multiple amplifications to be accurately directed at different targets simultaneously and adjusted in real time down to the millisecond.

Soulmate Link: A deep spiritual linking technique. It can establish mental connections with allies, instantly transmitting complex information without words, sharing battlefield perception, precisely applying amplification effects, and even guiding allies' energies to cooperate in launching fusion attacks or creating joint defenses.

Glazed Wall: An offensive-defensive conversion technique. It can use pure Soul Power to instantly form an all-directional energy shield, or condense a tangible glazed crystal wall for absolute defense. The crystal wall is incomparably sturdy and can also inflict reflected damage.

...

Good lord, the system was truly generous to its own disciples. It kept giving them incredible treasures.

Ye Feiyang felt secretly envious. Another day of being the middleman.

Then he thought of it again. He could cultivate these heaven-defying techniques too, and his mood immediately brightened.

The system had promised to leave some benefits for him. Well, the pie might be huge, but it sure smelled good!

He gathered his thoughts and refocused his gaze. What entered his sight were two lovely faces, each with a distinctly different style yet equally pleasing to the eye.

It had to be said that, setting aside her spoiled and arrogant temperament, Ning Rongrong's appearance was truly flawless. She was innocent, adorable, and exceptionally pleasing to look at.

Yes, the type who looked like a goddess when quiet and a lunatic goddess when moving.

It was fine. A wild temperament could slowly be trained.

Ye Feiyang nodded to himself.

"Master! You're alive again?"

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

The corner of Ye Feiyang's mouth twitched. Teaching? How was he supposed to teach her?

What exactly did this girl think about all day?

He put on a stern expression to maintain his dignity as a master. "Since you have joined my school, I have naturally prepared a great gift for you."

He turned to Zhu Zhuqing and instructed, "Zhu Qing, go close the courtyard gate. I need to properly teach your junior sister! Such secrets cannot be exposed so casually."

Only after confirming that no one was watching nearby did Ye Feiyang solemnly take out a pill the size of a ping-pong ball.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing saw the pill, she knew that this new junior sister's fortune would be no less extraordinary than her own.

Ning Rongrong was still letting her imagination run wild. A great gift? What kind of gift? Can it be converted into a wedding?

Her thoughts were quickly completely drawn to the pill.

"Huh? Master, what are you holding? Why does it feel like there's a voice in my body screaming for me to hurry up and eat it?"

Her eyes shone as she stared fixedly at the pill, instinctively swallowing.

Ye Feiyang held the pill out before her. "Since you sensed it, then eat it."

"Huh? I really have to eat it? It's... it's so big. My throat is kind of 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 an essential advancement and sublimation. Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"

"Martial Soul Advancement?"

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes instantly widened until they were round, and she almost suspected that she had heard wrong.

It sounded like utter fantasy—more like something a swindler would say!

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously again, proving through her actions that Master's words were true.

Feeling the unprecedented craving coming from her Martial Soul, then seeing Zhu Zhuqing's confirmation, Ning Rongrong steeled herself. I'm gambling on it! Even if it's poison, I'll accept it!

She took the pill and stuffed it into her mouth as though heading to her death.

She had thought something that large would choke her badly, but the moment the pill entered her mouth, it transformed into a surging torrent of energy. Without needing to be swallowed, it rushed directly toward where her Martial Soul resided!

The powerful energy instantly wrapped around her seven-story pagoda. Ning Rongrong only felt her Martial Soul undergoing a world-shaking transformation, crisp crackling sounds ringing out from within.

Before she could even react, the pagoda grew two levels taller out of thin air!

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

And just like Zhu Zhuqing's experience, after transforming her Martial Soul, the vast energy still had a great deal left over. It directly pushed her Soul Power Level up two consecutive levels, from Level 26 all the way to Level 28!

This sudden transformation left Ning Rongrong completely stunned, before an indescribable ecstasy swallowed her whole!

The instant the advancement was complete, she became so excited that she could barely control herself. She shrieked and leaped up like an octopus, wrapping herself tightly around Ye Feiyang as she babbled incoherently:

Can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead—it may have simply been renamed!

"Hubby... ah, no! Master! Master! My Martial Soul! It really advanced!!!"

Ning Rongrong's reaction and the successful Martial Soul Advancement were both within Ye Feiyang's expectations.

He was not surprised by that. He was merely being squeezed so tightly that he was having trouble breathing.

He tried to peel this human-shaped pendant off himself, only to discover that the girl was holding on exceptionally tightly.

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

As though to prove it, she finally reluctantly jumped down from Ye Feiyang and eagerly summoned her completely renewed Martial Soul before the two of them.

A pagoda suffused with a soft violet glow floated above her palm. Its design was more exquisite and mysterious, and it radiated an aura far more powerful than before.

Although Ye Feiyang knew the details, the appearance of the Nine Revolution Exquisite Pagoda shocked him far more than Zhu Zhuqing's earlier evolution.

Wasn't this pill's effect ridiculously overpowered? It directly broke through the original limitations?

His heart churned with stormy waves, but outwardly he remained as steady as an old dog, wearing a composed expression as if everything were under control. "Disciple, don't make such a fuss. Basic stuff. No need to show off."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, and her inner drama began overflowing again. Is Master hinting at something? First he said chick, then he said basic...

Zhu Zhuqing nodded forcefully once more at the side, using her own experience to endorse Master's words.

Ning Rongrong was so happy that she nearly floated into the air!

Even Zhu Zhuqing was so certain. It seemed she had received an enormous benefit too!

No wonder she could beat Dai Mubai senseless!

The transformation of her Martial Soul meant that she would no longer be limited by the innate restrictions of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. Soul Saint would no longer be the end of her path!

At this moment, she desperately wanted to tell her father the news. Look! Look! I only ran away from home, and my Martial Soul got a massive upgrade! Tell me, wasn't this absolutely worth it?

She might have been spoiled and prone to tears, but this time, she was crying purely from overwhelming joy.

She had never dreamed that she had merely been attracted by a pretty face and acted on impulse, only to step straight into a treasure pit!

Luckily! Luckily, she had put aside her young lady's pride at the crucial moment and decisively chosen to be a happy face-obsessed girl!

If she had kept putting on airs and missed such a tremendous opportunity, she would have had nowhere to cry!

Overwhelmed by immense happiness, she blurted out something shocking again to Ye Feiyang. "Master! You're too good to me! This little woman has no way to repay you. I... I can only bear you—"

Ye Feiyang's face darkened, and he hurriedly raised a hand to cut off the rest of her words.

She could think such wild words all she wanted, but how could she say them in public... Well, he liked hearing them and wanted to hear them, but she could not be so direct about it!

Where was this supposed to leave his old masterly face?

Awkward! Too awkward!

Seeing that Ning Rongrong seemed about to cling to Ye Feiyang again,

Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly. Without drawing attention to it, she shifted one step and cleverly positioned herself between them.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to act cute, Zhu Zhuqing cut her off first, speaking calmly. "Junior Sister, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in such a hurry."

"Master has something even more important to teach you. Sit down quietly first."

She glanced at Ning Rongrong and added, "Also, Master is everyone's master. Watch your boundaries. Don't keep touching him all the time."

Ning Rongrong looked utterly stunned, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Was there really anything more shocking than Martial Soul Advancement?

That expression made Zhu Zhuqing secretly pleased.

That was it, exactly that feeling. Back then, she herself had also been this shocked and incredulous.

Seeing this, Ye Feiyang quickly nodded in agreement. "Zhu Qing is right. Rong Rong, calm your thoughts first, focus your mind, and compose yourself. I have cultivation techniques to impart to you."

She was no stranger to cultivation techniques, so she did not react too strongly.

She simply had not expected Ye Feiyang to possess cultivation techniques too.

He really did?

Ning Rongrong was immediately intrigued. Seeing the two of them being so solemn, she truly wanted to see what it was.

She sat upright, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Feiyang, and said something startling. "Master, I'm ready! Come teach me!"

Ye Feiyang rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to argue over her suggestive choice of words.

It was enough for him to quietly enjoy it himself.

He had already communicated with the system, turning the complete inheritances of the Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao and the Scripture of Supreme Induction into two streams of divine thought that he directly infused into Ning Rongrong's spiritual sea.

The familiar process, with the same result.

The profound essentials of the scriptures, their circulation routes, and countless subtle insights were deeply branded into her soul.

She only needed to spend time familiarizing herself with them, understanding them thoroughly, and then gradually mastering and improving them through actual combat.

"Disciple,"

Ye Feiyang's voice carried a trace of solemnity. "The Scripture of Supreme Induction primarily cultivates your state of mind, allowing you to remain calm and composed in any situation. As for the Glazed Wall within the Nine Revolution Exquisite Dao, you should prioritize cultivating it. This technique combines protection and reflected damage. If anyone attacks you in the future, as long as their strength is insufficient to shatter your Glazed Wall in one strike, they will suffer one hundred percent reflected damage!"

He assumed the bearing of an otherworldly expert and laid down a precaution in advance. "All right, I have already imparted everything I can teach you."

"On the path of cultivation, a master leads you to the door, but life and death depend on the individual. You must study diligently. How high you can rise in the future will depend on your own comprehension and effort."

The underlying meaning was: I have taught you everything. The beginner's package comes with guaranteed instruction and entry. If you don't understand something later, figure it out yourselves. Do not come asking me! If you really do come ask? Sorry, no time!

After all, everything he knew was what the system had given him. If they asked anything too deeply, he truly would be helpless.

Upon hearing this, both girls' expressions turned solemn. Feeling the extraordinary nature of the cultivation techniques and their master's earnest expectations, they were deeply moved and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master! We will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations!"

"Master, don't worry. We'll work hard!" Ning Rongrong promised, unusually serious.

"All right..."

With a sweep of his sleeve, Ye Feiyang's lofty expert demeanor instantly vanished, returning him to reality. "Now that the important business is finished, your task is to clean the inside and outside of the house."

He pointed at the messy courtyard and rooms, continuing his arrangements. "I'm going into the city to look around, buy you some necessary daily supplies, and purchase ingredients for the next few days."

The moment she heard they were going into the city, Ning Rongrong, who had never done household work, immediately became unwilling.

Make her clean? Impossible!

Her eyes darted around as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, instantly coming up with an idea. She took out Gold Coins and shook them in her hand. "Senior Sister Zhu Qing~ Most beautiful Senior Sister Zhu Qing~ How about I pay you to do my share too? One hundred Gold Coins! What do you say?"

The moment Ye Feiyang heard "Gold Coins," and a hundred of them at that, his eyes instantly lit up.

Without giving Zhu Zhuqing any chance to refuse, he immediately made the decision. "Fine! It's happily settled, then! Rong Rong, hurry and give the money to your senior sister!"

Zhu Zhuqing: "???"

I haven't agreed yet!

Afraid that Zhu Zhuqing would change her mind, Ning Rongrong quickly counted out one hundred glittering coins and stuffed them into Zhu Zhuqing's hands, saying happily,

"Senior Sister~ Then I'll be troubling you! Please, please!"
