Ling Feng began pondering inwardly. How could he leave a deep impression on the two of them?
Ning Fengzhi raised his head slightly and looked directly at Ling Feng, his deep eyes revealing a hint of scrutiny and anticipation.
Without beating around the bush, he stated his purpose outright. "Here's the thing. I heard that you can extract Hundred-Year Soul Rings from soul beasts, and that the extracted Soul Rings can be absorbed by Soul Masters without any pain?"
He truly had not known about what Ling Feng had been doing before this.
Today, while idly wandering through the streets and alleys of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had happened to overhear the commoners talking about it.
The commoners vividly described how Hundred-Year Soul Rings could actually be purchased directly from Ling Feng, and how absorbing those Soul Rings was completely painless.
This news was like a massive stone, sending ripples through Ning Fengzhi's heart.
Filled with doubt and curiosity, he had investigated these rumors in depth.
After all, selling Soul Rings was far too unbelievable. It seemed that nothing like it had ever appeared in the history of Douluo Continent.
Besides, could Soul Rings that appeared after someone else killed a soul beast really be absorbed by another person?
On the other hand, Ning Fengzhi had discovered that most of the Soul Masters who bought Hundred-Year Soul Rings from Ling Feng had very weak physical constitutions.
Even if they absorbed a Soul Ring that was exactly one hundred years old, they would still endure tremendous pain.
Yet these Soul Masters all insisted that the Soul Rings purchased from Ling Feng allowed them to avoid pain during absorption.
That made him realize that there had to be some unknown mystery hidden within.
Thus, unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, Ning Fengzhi had hurried here without delay to get to the bottom of it.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng furrowed his brow slightly and replied softly, "That is indeed the case. Because of my martial soul, I can extract Soul Rings from soul beasts. The extracted Soul Rings can be absorbed by anyone. In addition, their energy is relatively stable, making them easier to absorb."
"As for the rumors outside that absorbing Soul Rings is completely painless, that is true as well. I mainly extract Soul Rings of different ages based on each Soul Master's physical strength, so absorbing them truly causes no pain."
Ning Fengzhi nodded gently, revealing a faint smile. "I see. I heard about these matters on the way here, so I wanted to confirm a few things."
Yet deep inside, an uncontrollable surge of excitement rose within him. He knew exactly how difficult it was for a Soul Master to find a suitable Soul Ring.
And yet Ling Feng could extract Soul Rings of different ages according to each Soul Master's circumstances. It was simply unbelievable.
He had never expected the rumors spreading among the people to be entirely true. Extracting Soul Rings from soul beasts without harming their lives was enough to overturn the long-held understanding of Douluo Continent.
"May I ask whether you sell Thousand Year Soul Rings, or perhaps Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?"
Ning Fengzhi stared intently at Ling Feng, his eyes betraying a trace of urgency and longing.
His heartbeat quickened unconsciously, and even his breathing grew slightly hurried.
If what Ling Feng said was true, this would be an unprecedented opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Their inherited Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul was a support-type martial soul.
Although it possessed unparalleled supportive effects, Soul Masters with this martial soul had far weaker physical constitutions than Soul Masters of the same rank.
This weakness had always been a tremendous obstacle on the path of growth for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters.
If they could absorb Soul Rings at the maximum age their bodies could withstand, they would be able to unleash their martial souls' power to the greatest extent.
"After some time, I'll sell some Thousand Year Soul Rings. As for Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, my martial soul's level is too low, so I can't extract Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings from soul beasts. Whether now or in the future, I'll only sell Hundred-Year and Thousand Year Soul Rings."
Ling Feng spread his hands and spoke softly.
Naturally, Ling Feng did not hesitate to deny that he would be able to extract Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in the future.
He knew perfectly well that if this news got out, it would be like a bombshell, causing an unprecedented upheaval across Douluo Continent.
Those malicious forces would surely set their sights on him.
His current strength was still far too weak. In this Douluo Continent filled with powerful experts, he was not yet capable of contending with those top-tier forces.
Once his strength reached the very pinnacle of Douluo Continent, he would no longer need to fear any faction.
Even if he announced that he could extract Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings from soul beasts, no one would dare make a move against him lightly.
Upon hearing Ling Feng's answer, disappointment flashed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes. "That is a bit of a pity."
However, he quickly composed himself and continued, "May I ask what range of ages the Thousand Year Soul Rings you sell will cover?"
Ling Feng shook his head. "I don't know for now. I'll need some time to experiment."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, an understanding smile appearing on his face. "Then I shall await good news. But when you begin selling Thousand Year Soul Rings in the future, you must come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and inform me."
"Alright." Ling Feng nodded faintly.
And so, Ning Fengzhi said nothing more. After their conversation ended, he left with Sword Douluo Chen Xin, their figures gradually disappearing from Ling Feng's sight.
On the way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi wore a grave expression, as though a heavy stone weighed upon his heart.
Turning to Chen Xin beside him, he asked solemnly, "What do you think of Ling Feng?"
Sword Douluo frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"His Soul Power has only just reached level thirty. As for why he can extract Soul Rings from soul beasts, I don't know either."
"And I truly have never seen this kind of martial soul before."
In his eyes, Ling Feng's talent was not particularly high. Presumably, the level of his martial soul had limited the speed at which his Soul Power could improve.
Yet a martial soul of such a low level possessed such a special ability. It was truly strange.
Even he, a well-traveled and knowledgeable Titled Douluo, found himself utterly perplexed.
"That is indeed rather strange. Perhaps it is a mutated martial soul."
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke thoughtfully.
A rare trace of confusion appeared on his stern face. He truly could not make sense of Ling Feng's ability to extract Soul Rings.
Throughout his many years on Douluo Continent, he had never heard of such an unusual martial soul.
"After some time, we'll buy some Thousand Year Soul Rings from him and see whether he can find the specific reason. The ability to extract Soul Rings alone is enough to prove how terrifying this method is."
Ning Fengzhi spoke in an exceedingly serious tone.
