Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Investment

It was not until dusk that Mo Hui, having roughly toured Heaven Dou Royal Academy, finally left the academy under Ning Yuan's guidance.

After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ning Yuan asked Mo Hui beside him, "Brother Mo Hui, what did you think of your visit to Heaven Dou Royal Academy today?"

"To be honest, it wasn't as good as I expected," Mo Hui replied truthfully.

Hearing Mo Hui's words, Ning Yuan burst into laughter. After a moment, he said, "You're not wrong to feel that way. At its core, Heaven Dou Royal Academy is a place the Heaven Dou Imperial Family uses to keep noble children occupied so they won't go out causing trouble. It's perfectly normal for the students' quality to be lacking. After all, you can't expect that bunch of playboys to truly cultivate seriously."

"Actually, given the relationship between our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, it wouldn't be difficult for all our sect disciples to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But in reality, only some of our branch-line disciples join the academy. Besides the fact that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's cultivation conditions are no worse than the academy's, the main reason is that we're afraid our disciples will be influenced by the academy's atmosphere."

"Of course..." Ning Yuan changed the subject and continued, "there are no shortage of outstanding students in Heaven Dou Royal Academy either. Their proportion is simply relatively small."

"I see."

Mo Hui nodded and asked Ning Yuan curiously, "Then how are the other Advanced Soul Master Academies?"

"The other Advanced Soul Master Academies..."

Ning Yuan pondered for a moment before answering, "That question isn't easy to answer. I can only say that each has its own strengths. Heaven Dou Royal Academy is fairly well-rounded and has a bit of everything, but it is weaker in every aspect than academies that specialize in a particular area.

"For example, the Five Elements Academy is stronger in the attributes each of its branches specializes in. The Plant Academy is stronger in Plant Spirits, while the Exotic Beast Academy has more experience with certain unusual Beast Spirits."

"Overall, no one can reliably overpower others in every aspect. If such an existence does exist, it can only be that one!"

"Spirit Hall?"

Mo Hui inferred from Ning Yuan's meaning.

"Yes, Spirit Hall!"

Ning Yuan's expression turned solemn. "Spirit Hall possesses the largest collection of books on the entire continent, as well as the most Soul Masters. If any academy could be strong in every area, it could only be Spirit Hall's academy."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hui understood. Spirit Hall had originally been the strongest in the original story. If Tang San, that absurdly overpowered cheat, had not suddenly appeared, Spirit Hall's unification of the continent would have been almost inevitable.

Soon afterward, Ning Yuan took Mo Hui to an inn in Heaven Dou City, where they settled in.

Ning Yuan had originally wanted to invite Mo Hui to his home as a guest, but Mo Hui declined. Ning Yuan was an outer-sect disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and his parents most likely lived in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle. It would not have been convenient for an outsider like him to enter.

Meanwhile, after parting with Mo Hui, Ning Yuan returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in high spirits.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you so happy?"

Seeing Ning Yuan's delighted expression when he returned home, Ning Yuan's father immediately asked with a smile.

Ning Yuan's father was called Ning Fengxu. He was a somewhat refined-looking middle-aged man in his forties.

Upon seeing Ning Fengxu, Ning Yuan eagerly said, "Father, listen to me. I met a genius on this trip..."

Ning Yuan then told Ning Fengxu everything that had happened along the way.

After hearing it, Ning Fengxu revealed a thoughtful expression. "From what you've said, he truly is a genius. By the way, what level of Innate Soul Power does that child called Mo Hui have?"

"Uh... I don't know that yet."

Hearing this, Ning Yuan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, but then added, "Still, since he reached level 22 Soul Power at the age of ten, his Innate Soul Power can't be low."

However, Ning Fengxu shook his head. "The level of Innate Soul Power is very important. From the way you spoke of that child named Mo Hui, I noticed that he may have reached his current level through diligent cultivation. His Innate Soul Power may not be as high as you imagined."

"That... does seem possible."

After hearing Ning Fengxu's speculation, Ning Yuan said somewhat dejectedly, "Then should we still invest in him?"

"Of course we should. Why wouldn't we?"

Ning Fengxu's eyes flashed. "If his Innate Soul Power is high, that means his talent is outstanding and he is worth investing in. If his Innate Soul Power is not high enough, then it means he has a steadfast character and can endure what ordinary people cannot. His future achievements will not be too poor either, so he is equally worth investing in!"

"However, investments also come in different degrees. How much we invest in him will depend on the level of his Innate Soul Power."

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was immensely wealthy, its money was not limitless. If Mo Hui's Innate Soul Power was low, then even if he achieved something in the future, his upper limit would be limited. Naturally, the terms they were willing to offer would be reduced as well.

The next morning, just as Mo Hui finished meditating, a knock sounded at his door.

"Brother Mo Hui, are you awake?"

Mo Hui opened the door and discovered that besides Ning Yuan, there was also a refined-looking middle-aged man standing beside him.

This man vaguely resembles Ning Yuan. Could he be one of Ning Yuan's elders?

After sizing up the person before him, Mo Hui thought to himself.

At the same time, Ning Fengxu was also observing Mo Hui. Seeing that although Mo Hui was plainly dressed, he appeared spirited and energetic, he could not help nodding.

"Mo Hui, this is my father. You can just call him Uncle Ning," Ning Yuan introduced after Mo Hui opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Ning Fengxu. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ning," Ning Fengxu said to Mo Hui with a smile.

"Uncle Ning."

After saying that, Mo Hui invited the two of them inside.

After asking the attendant for a pot of tea, Mo Hui asked Ning Fengxu, "Uncle Ning, did you come here so early because you have something to discuss?"

Mo Hui found it somewhat strange. He had learned from Ning Yuan a few days ago that his father was a Soul King above level fifty, and that his Spirit was the world's number one support Spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Logically speaking, as a mere Soul Grandmaster, he should not have been important enough to attract someone of Ning Yuan's father's stature.

Ning Fengxu took a small sip of tea and did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and said to Mo Hui, "Brother Mo Hui, would you be interested in joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
