In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
To Ning Fengzhi's surprise, Ye Chen had brought another Aromatic Silk Beauty.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty was precisely what could change the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's martial soul.
It was extremely important to Ning Fengzhi.
Even... this Aromatic Silk Beauty could determine the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's highest soul power could only reach Level 79. It was precisely this flaw that prevented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from advancing further.
But now, with the Aromatic Silk Beauty, from this day forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could be renamed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
This was exceptionally important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Little Chen, is this... an Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
"Do you have another immortal herb like this?" Ning Fengzhi stood up, looking at Ye Chen with a face full of shock.
The value the Aromatic Silk Beauty could bring to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was completely beyond monetary determination.
Ye Chen nodded, "Uncle Ning, Aromatic Silk Beauties are very rare. It took me a lot of effort to find two immortal herbs."
"Uncle Ning can consume this immortal herb as soon as possible to cultivate, otherwise, the medicinal power will slowly dissipate." Ye Chen placed the Aromatic Silk Beauty into Ning Fengzhi's hand.
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and said, "I can't accept such an immortal herb for free. Little Chen, tell me what you want, and I'll make sure you don't lose out."
"Yes, Brother, you can't just take your things for free," Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes.
Ye Chen shook his head, "Uncle Ning, I never knew my kin since I was young. To me, you are more like my family. I remember all the care you've given me, so why would I set conditions?"
"Grandpa Sword even taught me the Seven Kill Sword technique, an opportunity many people dream of but can never obtain. And Rongrong is accompanying me. If you insist on giving me something, I won't accept it," Ye Chen said, looking at Ning Fengzhi.
Without Ning Fengzhi, Ye Chen wouldn't have survived. Ye Chen always remembered this kindness.
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily, looking at Ye Chen with great admiration, and directly handed him a gold coin card. "That won't do. Little Chen, take this one million gold coins. You can't refuse."
"But..." Ye Chen wanted to say something more.
Ning Rongrong took the gold coin card and placed it in Ye Chen's hand. "Alright, Brother, just take it. Even if you don't lack money yourself, you still need to take care of me. You'll spend money when you're out, and Father is very rich."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Ye Chen finally accepted the gold coin card. He had no particular hobbies and never spent money recklessly.
Ye Chen's money was almost entirely used for tuition fees. The remaining money was saved to buy clothes, gifts, and various foods for Rongrong.
Of course, he also invited Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to eat good food. With the three girls from Shrek Academy around, how could he possibly save money?
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at Ye Chen with satisfied gazes.
These children have already earned their approval in terms of character, talent, and integrity.
Ning Fengzhi sat down to cultivate, absorbing the Aromatic Silk Beauty. This was a rare opportunity that came along once in many years.
Ning Fengzhi's strength had long since reached Level 79. Due to the limitations of his martial soul, he was unable to advance further. If he had the Aromatic Silk Beauty, it would undoubtedly allow Ning Fengzhi's strength to advance further!
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I have gifts for you too," Ye Chen smiled, looking at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Oh? Gifts?" Sword Douluo's expression brightened. Although they were Titled Douluo and lacked nothing, this was still Ye Chen's gesture of goodwill.
"These are two Sixth Grade Healing Pills. In my definition, I call them pills."
"Each healing pill is refined from eighty-one types of herbs. Not only can it heal old injuries, but even old injuries from decades ago, as long as they are accumulated in the body, can be cured."
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, as Titled Douluo, you must have old injuries within your bodies that prevent you from performing at your best. Moreover, these two pills contain eighty-one immortal herbs. Perhaps they can loosen the bottlenecks you've been stuck at for years." Ye Chen placed the pills into Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's hands.
"Little Chen, what did you say? Your two pills can not only heal our old injuries but also help us break through bottlenecks? I am a Level 95 Titled Douluo, and your Grandpa Sword is a Level 96 Titled Douluo. Even immortal herbs cannot help us break through further," Bone Douluo said seriously.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Regardless, you can try. Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, I remember when I was a child, you were already at this level. Perhaps... you can break through this time."
After Sword Douluo took the pills, "Since it's Little Chen's kind gesture, I'll give it a try. At the very least, they are made from immortal herbs."
Not long after, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both sat on the ground, consumed the pills, and began their cultivation.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong acted as guardians on the side.
The potency of a Sixth Grade pill was something even Ye Chen had never experienced. However, he was certain that after Dugu Bo consumed a Sixth Grade pill, his strength broke through to Level 93.
Ye Chen had used almost all the immortal herbs around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, as well as the pistils of the Nine Spirits Begonia, to create pills that had both healing effects and soul power enhancement effects.
"Brother, can I lean on your shoulder and sleep for a bit?" Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly, looking at Ye Chen with innocent eyes.
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded. Ning Rongrong sat beside Ye Chen and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Brother, hug me, I'm cold," Ning Rongrong said, wrapping Ye Chen's arm around her back and embracing her slender waist.
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who had fallen asleep beside him, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of melting.
Ning Rongrong was truly beautiful.
Ye Chen was not made of wood. He knew his identity was extraordinary, but he didn't want Ning Rongrong to fall into danger like him.
However, looking at Ning Rongrong, Ye Chen was reluctant to refuse her.
"Rongrong, after the Spirit Master competition, let's... be together," Ye Chen smiled and said softly. Ning Rongrong beside him did not hear him.
"As for Xiao Ao, he can pair up with Ma Hongjun. That wouldn't be bad either," Ye Chen thought of Fatty and Xiao Ao, chuckling.
Ye Chen couldn't help but hold the girl beside him tighter, filled with care and sweetness.
Regardless of how great the difficulties Ye Chen would face in the future, his heart was gradually becoming resolute.
To protect her, to prevent her from suffering any harm, that was all.
"Xiao Ao also likes Rongrong. In the future, I'll find a pretty girl and have Xiao Ao work hard to pursue her." Ye Chen already had an idea in his heart.
Of course, Oscar wouldn't fight him for Ning Rongrong. Everyone in Shrek's Seven Devils could see Ning Rongrong's feelings for Ye Chen.
Just like no one would fight for Xiao Wu, who could shake the feelings between Tang San and Xiao Wu?
The sky gradually darkened.
Ning Fengzhi had been cultivating for a whole day, which was something Ye Chen hadn't expected.
Another full night passed.
As the sky began to lighten, the Second Day arrived.
Ning Fengzhi slowly opened his eyes. He felt that his spirit power had broken through to Level 80!
This was even without spirit rings. If he absorbed spirit rings, Ning Fengzhi felt his spirit power could break through to a higher level.
What made Ning Fengzhi even more excited was that his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had also transformed into a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!
"Heaven... bless my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Without Little Chen, how could Rongrong cultivate so quickly? Without him, how could I possibly break through to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"This child... is a genius on the continent, and also a genius of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ning Fengzhi let out a long breath.
When he woke up, he found that even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were cultivating, which surprised Ning Fengzhi slightly.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted to the main entrance, and he saw Ye Chen holding Ning Rongrong. Both children had already fallen asleep.
"These two children clearly like each other in their hearts, yet they are unwilling to say it out loud."
"You two are no different from a couple now. I'm afraid even you haven't realized it yet." Ning Fengzhi took out a blanket and covered them.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all cultivating, so the Guardians naturally became Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong.
Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong guarded the three of them for a day and a night.
After a long while, Ye Chen woke up and looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"Uncle Ning, did you break through?" Ye Chen asked. He felt that Ning Fengzhi's entire demeanor had undergone a tremendous change.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda transforming into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was an epoch-making advancement.
"Yes, I broke through. I am now also the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Little Chen, thank you." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, unable to hide his excitement.
"Uncle Ning, if you can break through to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, it will also make our sect even stronger."
"Dugu Bo once told me that if my talent is exposed, I will attract the attention of the people from Martial Soul Hall. The Pope of Martial Soul Hall is a Level Ninety-Nine Titled Douluo. If Martial Soul Hall fails to recruit me, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be in danger," Ye Chen said.
Ning Fengzhi knew what Ye Chen was worried about. "Little Chen, I've told you before, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be behind you."
"One day, if Martial Soul Hall wants to kill you, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will absolutely not sit idly by."
"So... no matter what you face in the future, you will always have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind you," Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Chen, his gaze firm.
"Uncle Ning, Ye Chen... has no way to repay you. I will try my best not to reveal my talent in the Soul Master Competition."
"I once met someone named Qian Renxue. I don't know her identity, but her strength is far above mine."
"This is a token she gave me. Uncle Ning, do you know what kind of token this is?" Ye Chen asked.
After taking the token, Ning Fengzhi was filled with shock as he looked at Ye Chen. "Little Chen, this is... the Pope's Token!"
"Seeing this token is like seeing the Pope. Qian Renxue's identity in Martial Soul Hall is probably extraordinary."
"And you said... her strength is far above yours? Have you fought before?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Ye Chen nodded. "I fought her before, and she was defeated by me. That's why she changed the rules of the entire Soul Master world, changing it to an eight-person team."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened with surprise. Only the Pope could change the rules of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!
And Qian Renxue possessed the Pope's Token, so her identity could only mean one thing: she was close to Bibi Dong.
Furthermore, Qian Renxue's surname was Qian.
Could it be that Qian Renxue's father was the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu?
If that were the case, then Qian Renxue's extremely high talent would be normal.
Qian Daoliu's strength... was even more terrifying.
"Little Chen, this is the Pope's Token. If people from Martial Soul Hall hunt you down in the future, with this token, no one will dare to touch you."
"Of course, if this order comes from the Pope himself, then the Pope's Token will be useless. If people from Martial Soul Hall want to recruit you, you can compromise slightly when necessary. No matter when, protecting your own life comes first."
"If Martial Soul Hall truly wants to kill you, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot block them," Ning Fengzhi spoke the truth. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was powerful, the most outstanding Soul Masters in the world were all concentrated in Martial Soul Hall. Once a battle ensued, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would likely be defeated.
Martial Soul Hall was too strong, far beyond what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could contend with.
"Uncle Ning, I know," Ye Chen nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Chen, feeling shocked.
Ye Chen's Talent, even Qian Renxue of Martial Soul Hall, changed the rules for him.
This news, other people in Martial Soul Hall probably don't know yet. Qian Renxue was protecting Ye Chen.
"Little Chen, why are Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu also cultivating?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
After Ye Chen explained, Ning Fengzhi suddenly understood.
Ning Fengzhi patted Ye Chen's shoulder, his eyes wide open.
"Little Chen, the Healing Pills you just mentioned, from first to sixth grade, can you show them all to me?" Ning Fengzhi said.
"Uncle Ning, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked.
After seeing the pills, Ning Fengzhi gasped, "Little Chen, your Healing Pills, their healing ability on the continent is second to none, surpassing all medicinal herbs."
"I just heard you say you can mass-produce Healing Pills from first to fourth grade. Do you know that if these pills were sold, even the most ordinary first-grade Healing Pill could fetch a considerable price."
"And this is not the most important thing. Wealth is external. But do you know what the most terrifying aspect of your pills is?" Ning Fengzhi said, his sharp gaze discovering the true core of Ye Chen's pill refining.
"The most terrifying aspect is that this kind of Healing Pill can only be refined by you."
"Warriors on the continent all use Healing Pills, no matter who they are. Even Titled Douluo will use this kind of pill."
"But not everyone can afford exorbitant prices for pills, so... many powerful individuals will come to rely on you, owing you favors. When you are in danger, the strong people of the world will come to your aid, and no one will offend you."
"Your Martial Soul is Nine Spirits Begonia, which does not threaten any Attack System Soul Master. Coupled with this Healing Pill, almost all sects, all forces, all Soul Masters in the world will want to befriend you, and even... become your subordinates."
"I heard you want to establish a sect called the Pill Sect. If you plan to establish it in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will spare no expense to help your Pill Sect grow. Even without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intervention, it would be enough to make most Soul Masters in the world your friends," Ning Fengzhi said.
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Ye Chen finally understood the terrifying potential of the pills in his hand.
Once the Pill Sect is established in the future, it can recruit powerful individuals from all over the world, allowing the Pill Sect to quickly become a grand sect.
Ye Chen also knew that Tang San wanted to establish the Tang Sect in the future.
If the Tang Sect and the Pill Sect joined forces, what heights would they reach in the future?
