Ning Rongrong's reaction and the successful Martial Soul Advancement were both within Lin Feng's expectations.
He was not surprised by this at all; he was just being squeezed so tightly that he could barely breathe.
He tried to peel the human-shaped pendant off himself, only to discover that the girl was hugging him exceptionally tightly.
Ning Rongrong continued shouting excitedly, "Teacher, look! It turned purple! It's called the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda now!"
As if to prove it, she finally let go of Lin Feng and jumped down. Eagerly, right before the two of them, she summoned her newly transformed Martial Soul.
A pagoda suffused with shimmering purple light, more exquisite and mysterious in design, and radiating an aura far more powerful than before, floated above her palm.
Although Lin Feng knew the details, the appearance of this "Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda" shocked him far more than Zhu Zhuqing's earlier evolution.
Was this pill's effect seriously this overpowered? It directly broke through its original limitations?
A tempest raged in his heart, but outwardly, he remained steady as an old dog, wearing a calm expression as though everything was under control. "Disciple, don't make a fuss. Basic stuff, don't get too worked up."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, while her inner monologue ran wild again. Is Teacher hinting at something? First chicks, then doing...
Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly again at the side, using her personal experience to endorse her teacher's words.
Ning Rongrong was so happy she nearly took flight!
Even Zhu Zhuqing was this 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 restricted by the Xiantian limitations of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. Soul Saint would no longer be the end of her road!
At that moment, she desperately wanted to tell her father the news: Look! Look! I only left home for a little while, and my Martial Soul got a massive upgrade! Tell me, was this worth it or not?
Though she was spoiled and prone to tears, this time she cried purely from overwhelming joy.
She had never dreamed that she had merely been dazzled by good looks and acted on impulse, only to step straight into a treasure pit!
Fortunately! Fortunately, at the critical moment, she had put aside her young lady's pride and decisively chosen to become a happy face-lover!
If she had kept putting on airs back then and missed such a heaven-sent opportunity, she would have had nowhere to cry!
Overwhelmed by immense happiness, she blurted out something shocking again. "Teacher! You're so wonderful! This little woman has no way to repay you. I, I can only bear you—"
Lin Feng's face darkened, and he quickly raised a hand to cut off the rest of her words.
Those wild words were fine to think about privately. How could she say them in public... Uh, although he liked hearing them and wanted to hear them, she could not be this direct!
Where was Your Master supposed to put his old face?
Awkward! Far too awkward!
Seeing that Ning Rongrong seemed about to press herself against Lin Feng again,
Zhu Zhuqing reacted swiftly, taking an inconspicuous step forward and cleverly placing herself between the two.
Ning Rongrong was just about to act cute when Zhu Zhuqing cut her off first, speaking calmly. "Junior Sister, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"Teacher has something even more important to teach you. Sit quietly first."
She glanced at Ning Rongrong and added, "Also, Teacher is everyone's teacher. Watch your boundaries. Don't keep touching him all the time."
Ning Rongrong looked utterly stunned, as though she had heard something unbelievable.
Was there really anything more shocking than Martial Soul Advancement?
That expression made Zhu Zhuqing secretly smug.
That was it, exactly that feeling. Back then, she herself had been just as shocked and incredulous.
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly nodded in agreement. "Zhu Qing is right. Rong Rong, calm your mind first and focus your spirit. Your Master has a Cultivation Method to pass on to you."
She was no stranger to Cultivation Methods, so she did not react too strongly.
She simply had not expected Lin Feng to possess one as well.
He really does?
Ning Rongrong's attention was immediately drawn in. Seeing the two of them acting so seriously, she truly wanted to see what it was.
She sat properly, her eyes shining as she looked at Lin Feng, and said something astonishing. "Teacher, I'm ready! Come guide me!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to argue over her suggestive wording.
Any secret delight was best kept to himself.
He had already finished communicating with the system, transforming the complete inheritances of the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Dao and the Supreme Induction Chapter into two streams of Divine Sense information and directly injecting them into Ning Rongrong's Sea of Consciousness through Direct Transmission.
The familiar process, with the same effect.
The vast essence of the scriptures, the circulation routes, and countless subtle insights were deeply imprinted upon her soul.
She only needed to spend time familiarizing herself with them and fully comprehending them. Then, through Actual Combat, she would gradually master and improve them.
"Disciple,"
Lin Feng's voice carried a trace of solemnity. "The Supreme Induction Chapter primarily cultivates one's state of mind, allowing you to remain calm and composed under any circumstances. As for the 'Glazed Wall' within the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Dao, you may prioritize cultivating it. This technique combines defense and Counterattack Damage. If anyone attacks you in the future, so long as their strength is insufficient to shatter your Glazed Wall in one strike, they will surely suffer one hundred percent backlash damage!"
He put on the bearing of an otherworldly master and laid down a precaution in advance. "All right. Your Master has already taught you everything I can teach."
"On the path of cultivation, a master leads one through 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."
What he meant was: I've taught you everything. This is the guaranteed beginner's package. If you don't understand something later, figure it out yourselves. Don't come asking me! And if you really do come ask? Sorry, no time!
After all, all he truly knew was what the system had given him. If they asked anything too deeply, he would be unable to help.
Upon hearing this, both maidens turned solemn. Feeling the extraordinary nature of the Cultivation Methods and their teacher's earnest expectations, they were deeply moved and respectfully replied, "Yes, Teacher! We will certainly cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations!"
"Teacher, don't worry. We'll work hard!" Ning Rongrong also promised with rare seriousness.
"All right..."
With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Feng's lofty-master demeanor instantly vanished, returning him to reality. "Now that the important business is done, your task is to clean the inside and outside of the house."
He pointed at the messy courtyard and rooms, continuing his arrangements. "I'll head into the city to look around, buy you some necessary daily supplies, and stock up on ingredients for the next few days."
The moment she heard they were going into the city, Ning Rongrong, who had never so much as touched household chores, immediately became unwilling.
Make her clean? Impossible!
Her eyes darted around before she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, instantly coming up with an idea. Taking out Gold Coins and shaking them in her hand, she said, "Senior Sister Zhuqing~ Most beautiful Senior Sister Zhuqing~ How about I pay you, and you help me do my share too? One hundred Gold Coins! What do you say?"
The moment Lin Feng 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 swiftly counted out one hundred glittering coins and stuffed them into Zhu Zhuqing's hand, saying happily,
"Senior Sister~ Then I'll be troubling you! Please, please!"
