Discussing Cooperation

If this news got out, he would immediately become a prized target in the eyes of powerful figures across the continent.

However, being a "prized target" would likely mean being hunted down and robbed.

After all, who wouldn't want to claim such a treasure for themselves? Therefore, Ling Feng secretly decided that he could not reveal this information so easily.

Over the next few days, Ling Feng learned a great deal about soul beasts, including the habits, weaknesses, and habitats of different kinds.

When he went to the Soul Beast Forest to obtain soul rings in the future, understanding soul beasts would be crucial.

The next morning, sunlight spread across the land.

Ling Feng set out alone for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Since the small courtyard where he lived was not far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he arrived in less than an hour.

"Worthy of being the richest sect on Douluo Continent!"

When the grand and magnificent buildings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came into view, Ling Feng could not help but marvel inwardly.

The sheer luxury of the place was simply incomparable to his little courtyard.

The entire complex radiated two words: rich.

Ling Feng quickly composed himself and strode toward the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Please inform Sect Master Ning that Ling Feng has come to visit."

Ling Feng looked at the guards ahead and spoke in an even tone.

"Very well. Please wait a moment."

The guard at the gate nodded lightly and headed toward the Sect Main Hall.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Main Hall was solemn and majestic, resplendent in gold and jade.

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi sat in the seat of honor, while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sat on either side of him. The three were discussing sect affairs.

Suddenly, a guard hurried in from outside, stopping at the entrance to the hall before respectfully reporting, "Sect Master, someone outside who calls himself Ling Feng has come to visit you."

"Ling Feng?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. The name sounded familiar, yet he could not recall it for the moment.

Sword Douluo was thoughtful and immediately reminded him, "He is the soul master who can extract soul rings from soul beasts."

"Oh, so it is him. It seems Ling Feng has successfully completed his experiment."

A trace of anticipation flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He nodded, signaling for the guard to let Ling Feng in.

Bone Douluo looked utterly confused. He had not been involved in this matter before and could not help asking, "What are you talking about? Extracting soul rings from soul beasts?"

Throughout Douluo Continent's long history, he had never heard of anything so bizarre. He even suspected that he had misheard them.

Ning Fengzhi patiently explained, "Sword Uncle and I happened to hear about this on the street before. After looking into it further, we discovered that Ling Feng is extraordinarily gifted—a true prodigy."

"Through the unique nature of his martial soul, he can extract soul rings from living soul beasts. However, he has also admitted that, both now and in the future, he can only extract Hundred Year Soul Rings and Thousand Year Soul Rings. That is rather regrettable."

Bone Douluo was deeply shaken upon hearing this. Such an ability was simply unprecedented.

But he had seen much in his life and knew that martial souls on Douluo Continent came in all manner of strange forms. Although a martial soul capable of extracting soul rings was a first of its kind, it was not entirely impossible to accept.

"Come. Let us see how he extracts a Thousand Year Soul Ring from a soul beast."

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Ning Fengzhi rose to his feet and left the Sect Main Hall with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, intending to see it for himself.

Meanwhile, outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ling Feng entered the sect after the guard had reported his arrival and headed toward the Sect Main Hall.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Just then, a clear voice rang out from nearby, breaking the silence.

Hearing this, Ling Feng looked behind him. A little girl in a green dress stood there.

She looked about six years old. Her fair little face was flushed red, and her large eyes were filled with vigilance as she glared at them indignantly.

She was Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong. Behind her stood a seven- or eight-year-old boy with a burly build and solid muscles, radiating an innate air of strength.

"I am here as a guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The moment Ling Chen saw the little girl, he already knew who she was. Thinking of Ning Rongrong's current personality, he secretly found it amusing.

In the original story, Ning Rongrong had been described as fearless and mischievous.

"Hm? How come I didn't know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was expecting a guest today?"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, tilted her head, and looked utterly unconvinced.

She had grown up in the sect and knew everything about it. If there had been a visitor, how could she possibly not know?

"It is obvious that you snuck into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong stared at Ling Feng with an indignant expression.

"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo."

Before Ling Feng could answer, he spotted the three approaching from ahead and greeted them.

"Ling Feng, welcome to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi greeted him warmly with a broad smile.

"Rongrong, why are you here?"

When Ning Fengzhi saw Ning Rongrong ahead, his brows furrowed. Remembering his daughter's personality, he wondered whether something had happened just now.

"I..."

Ning Rongrong held her hands at her sides and looked guiltily at her father. She had not expected this unfamiliar man to really be her father's guest.

"I ran into your daughter just now. I did not know how to get to the Sect Main Hall, so I was asking for directions."

Ling Feng spoke up. Ning Rongrong was only six years old, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

Ning Fengzhi did not believe him, since he knew his daughter's temperament very well.

Since Ling Feng had said nothing, Ning Fengzhi could not interfere. He could only give Ning Rongrong a deep look, making her feel even more guilty under her father's gaze.

Afterward, Ling Feng followed Ning Fengzhi and the others toward their destination.

Along the way, Ning Fengzhi exchanged pleasantries with Ling Feng and asked about certain details of his martial soul.

Ling Feng gave him a few perfunctory answers. This concerned his secret, so there was no need to say too much.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong curiously studied Ling Feng from the side, filled with doubts about the person who had drawn so much attention from her father.

"Have you truly succeeded in extracting a Thousand Year Soul Ring from a soul beast?"

The moment they entered the Sect Main Hall, Ning Fengzhi asked impatiently.

"That's right."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, his expression calm.

"Forgive my presumption, but could you let us witness how you extract a soul ring from a soul beast?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes burned with curiosity. He truly wanted to see what was so extraordinary about Ling Feng's martial soul.

"No problem. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can provide any soul beast you wish, as long as it is under five thousand years old."

Ling Feng replied softly. Since this ability came from his martial soul, there was nothing to hide.

"Excellent."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he could barely contain his excitement.

Bone Douluo immediately left the Sect Main Hall and headed for the Soul Beast Arena where the sect kept soul beasts, intending to capture a five-thousand-year soul beast.
