Ning Fengzhi's Visit

When Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo appeared around Starfall Mountain, Ning Fengzhi initially thought they were there to do something bad for the Spirit Hall. However, looking at the golden invitation card in his hand, he realized he might have been wrong.

"Feng Zhi, it seems like Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo came here on his own without Bibi Dong's knowledge this time."

"Perhaps. If the Spirit Hall finds out about this, those two won't be in a good place."

Ning Fengzhi was constantly pondering Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's purpose. Their strength was definitely among the strongest on the continent. What exactly did the Star Crown Sect have that held such a great attraction for them?

After agreeing to Chrysanthemum Douluo's request, Ning Fengzhi followed the map given to him by the Sect Master and soon arrived at Starfall Mountain. He was then guided into the Mountain Gate by his disciples.

This was his first time entering the Star Crown Sect, and he subconsciously observed the surrounding buildings and facilities. They were nothing special and did not resemble the number one sect on the continent at all.

"Sect Master Ning, our Star Crown Sect is only beautiful at night."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to stay and take a good look."

The Star Crown Sect doesn't have many guests. Those who come to visit are either acquaintances or people of high standing on the continent. The disciples responsible for welcoming these people are also carefully selected.

Xu Mingqing, a third-generation member of the Star Crown Sect, is older than Xu Mingxi and is a level 76 Control-type Soul Saint.

Most importantly, he was in charge of the largest property on the periphery of the Star Crown Sect, and his strengths lay in his ability to read people and his eloquence.

He led Ning Fengzhi toward the Sect Master Hall at the top of the mountain, knowing full well what he should show them and what he should not.

Ning Fengzhi walked along the path, passing the training grounds of the outer sect Soul Master of the Star Crown Sect, where two Soul Douluo Elder from other clans led the training.

He was also taken "passing by" a medicinal field full of rare herbs, a valley where the Star Bearing Ox Soul Beast was raised, and a pond where the Gathering Star Turtle Soul Beast was fed.

He couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't seen any of the older or middle-aged members of the Star Crown Sect.

"Our elders prefer to stay in the Mimetic Cultivation Field during the day. Daytime is not a good time for us Star Crown Martial Soul Master to train."

"Really? That one over there is Soul Beast?"

"Oh, that's the most precious treasure of our Elder who manage medicinal herbs, the millennia-old Medicine Pestling Rabbit."

Isn't this a good time for cultivation? What does their absence have to do with it? It seems the older generation of the Star Crown Sect are all busy with something.

A strange light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Although he didn't know what kind of Soul Beast the Medicine Pestling Rabbit was, the ten-thousand-year-old Ning Fengzhi could still understand it.

When did the terms "Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast" and "cultivating medicinal herbs" become combined in the Douluo Continent?

In his view, the mere tip of the iceberg that the Star Crown Sect had revealed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was enough to prove their millennia-old heritage.

"Sect Master Ning, this way please. The Sect Master and Young Sect Master are already waiting inside."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Ning Fengzhi led Sword Bone Douluo into the reception room. Xu Mingqing silently closed the door and turned to stand guard in front of it.

The aroma of tea filled the reception room, its fragrance reaching Ning Fengzhi's nose and invigorating him.

This is a treasure sent by the Ling Family to express their gratitude to the Star Crown Sect for their help. It comes from the thousand-year-old Frost Mist Pine in the Far North Land, and only a dozen or so tea leaves can be picked from it every ten years, making it extremely rare.

It has a certain nourishing effect on the spirit of Soul Master. If it weren't for Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School personally bringing two Super Douluo to visit and want to show off the sect's foundation, the Sect Master would not have been willing to take it out.

In fact, as the wealthiest sect in the world, Ning Fengzhi had seen all sorts of good things, and he had even obtained several from the Ling Family.

To his surprise, the Star Crown Sect, which had long resided in the southwestern border region of the continent, actually had connections with the Ling Family in the Far North Land.

Moreover, the water used to brew the Frost Mist Tea seems to have an impressive origin; it tastes somewhat like the unique spiritual spring of the Shui Family.

Ning Fengzhi his tea calmly, but in his heart he was thinking. The Shui Family was one thing, it was very likely related to the last time they went to sea, but what about the Ling Family?

And the inscription on the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, if he wasn't mistaken, was written by Mo Yao, the patriarch of the Mo Family, a large Soul Master family in the southeastern region of the Star Luo Empire.

From the southern part of the Star Luo Empire to the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Crown Sect has quietly established connections with so many families. This is not the behavior of a sect that wants to live in seclusion.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, he had seen a document in the sect's archives that mentioned the Queen of the Star Luo Kingdom had displayed her Martial Soul.

The document clearly states in black and white that her Martial Soul is a crown-like weapon Martial Soul capable of manipulating Starlight.

"Sect Master Ning, is this tea not to your liking? Shall I have Mingxi go and get you a different kind?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Xu. This tea is excellent, excellent indeed."

Seeing Xu Mingxi approach and make a move to pick up the teacup, Ning Fengzhi quickly refused. What a joke it would be to have a Super Douluo pour tea for him!

Even though Ning Fengzhi was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he knew that this was just a polite way of putting it by the Star Crown Sect.

One side was interested in forming an alliance, while the other was interested in recruiting. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and the Sect Master specially invited Ning Fengzhi to stay and attend the Star Crown Sect's banquet that evening.

"Sect Master Ning, the Spirit Hall is our common enemy, so cooperation is certainly possible. However, we can discuss the specifics of our cooperation after the banquet."

"At that time, my Star Crown Sect still has some items that I would like to ask Sect Master Ning to appraise and offer some guidance."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Finally, Ning Fengzhi told Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingqing about Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and then, led by Xu Mingqing, went to the guest room to rest for the time being.

After Xu Mingqing left, Ning Fengzhi's expression instantly turned serious. He paced around the room, constantly pondering the Sect Master's last words.

What is meant by the form of cooperation? In the cooperation he just discussed, he has already given the Star Crown Sect great convenience. Isn't that enough?

"Fengzhi, stop turning around. If you don't want to cooperate, let's go back now."

"No, Sword Uncle, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm thinking that the Star Crown Sect's intentions might not be as simple as cooperating to take the initiative."

"You mean, they want to recruit us?"

"That's right, but we just don't know what they have to rely on to give them this confidence."

The Star Crown Sect is strong, with five or even six Titled Douluo, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is definitely not inferior.

Including the Azure Luan Worship guards the sect, they also have three titles, which are not easily controlled.
