Ning Fengzhi's Visit, Qian Renxue's Resolve

Fate Defying Valley, Lake Heart Island.

Luo Can sat on a stone bench, his silver fishing rod dangling into the lake. With each breath he took, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth and the Life Force slowly gathered, forming an Energy Tide around him.

The tide centered on him, covering a radius of 100 meters around him.

At his feet, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slept soundly, the little creature curled up in a ball, its golden fur swaying gently in the Energy Tide. Not far away, ten Immortal Herb sat in a row, and the three Ferocious Beast, Xiong Da, Scarlet King, and Ice Jade Scorpion, each found a comfortable spot, all bathing in the Energy Tide and cultivating quietly.

Whenever the fishing line bobbed, Luo Can would flick his wrist and gently pull, causing the fish to emerge from the water, arc through the air, and land in his hand.

Items of various qualities were continuously fished out. He stored precious resources such as rare metals, top-grade pills, and high-level Spirit Bone into his System Space, while basic resources, ordinary pills, low-age Spirit Bone, and Soul Tool were placed in his personal Storage Ring for the disciples of the Fate Defying Pavilion to exchange.

Three hours passed quickly.

The fifty-eighth rod was cast into the water.

Eight minutes later, the fishing line trembled slightly, Luo Can exerted force with his wrist, causing a scroll shimmering with a pale blue light to emerge from the water and land in his palm.

[Pill Recipe: Mystic Water Pill]

[Description: A unique elixir created by the Xuanming Sect during the Douluo Dalu II era of the Douluo Continent. It requires the essence blood of more than ten kinds of water-attribute Spirit Beast, combined with more than ten to thirty kinds of water-attribute spiritual plants/herbs that grow in icy pools and abysses. It can Cleansing Marrow and Washing Meridians and enhance Innate Soul Power, and has a remarkable effect on water-attribute Spirit Master.]

Luo Can unrolled the scroll and looked at it. The Pill Recipe was very detailed, from the processing methods of the medicinal materials to the refining steps and the control of the heat. However... the process was extremely complicated, the procedures were strict, and the losses were enormous.

"Let's leave the Pill Recipe for the Mystic Water Pill to Yang Wudi." Luo Can put away the scroll, thinking to himself, "With his Alchemy skills, he should be able to refine it. Then, the Fate Defying Pavilion will have another signature pill."

He continued casting his line when two figures flew swiftly from afar and landed beside him.

It's Qian Renxue and Ju Zi.

He noticed the anxious look on both of their faces.

Luo Can asked, "What's wrong? What happened outside?"

"I just received a message from the Ye Clan," Qian Renxue said quickly, taking a deep breath. "Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has personally visited the Ye Clan to discuss cooperation!"

"Ning Fengzhi?" Luo Can raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "Given his personality, why would he have time to personally visit the Ye Clan unless it involved the core interests of the sect?"

Although the Ye Clan was once a prestigious family, it has declined in recent years. Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is incredibly wealthy and holds a prestigious position. It is quite unusual for him to personally come to discuss cooperation.

After a moment's thought, Qian Renxue speculated, "Could it be because of... Chief Ye?"

"That's possible," Luo Can nodded.

The top powers across the continent all know that the curse of the Ye Clan's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is unbreakable. As long as a descendant awakens the Martial Soul, an heir will inevitably die, thus ensuring that the lineage remains a single line.

Not only did Ye Qingyu survive after Ye Lingling's awakening, but her cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds. With such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network not to have found out.

"It seems he might be trying to overcome the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and break through the Spirit Saint bottleneck." Qian Renxue looked at Luo Can, her eyes questioning, "Husband, what do you plan to do?"

Luo Can smiled slightly, "That depends on whether Ning Fengzhi can afford a price that satisfies me."

After the two finished speaking, Ju Zi said, "A-Can, Sister Snow, I just received a message from Yue Guan. Bibi Dong... is planning to have that ' Qian Renxue ' replace Xue Qinghe ahead of schedule, and then contact Poison Douluo and Ji Juechen to win them over."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately looked at Ju Zi, her expression changing slightly. "Is the information accurate?"

"Hmm." Ju Zi nodded emphatically, took out a blue crystal from her Storage Soul Tool, and infused it with soul power. "These are the images Yue Guan sent back. Take a look for yourselves."

The crystal flashed, projecting a clear image into the air—

In the scene, Bibi Dong sits on the Pope throne, toying with the Blood-Colored Sword Tip in her hand.

Looking at Bibi Dong in the picture, a complex expression appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

The video continues playing.

Bibi Dong began to inquire about Yue Guan's investigation in Nuoding City. Yue Guan's answers were watertight, explaining everything clearly, from the investigation process to the results, and even the unexpected medicinal herbs he had acquired. Bibi Dong seemed quite satisfied after listening, and her expression softened slightly.

Then, the topic shifted to information regarding the Tiandou faction.

When she heard that "Dugu Bo is preparing to build a new high-level Soul Master Academy" and "Sword Obsessive Douluo Ji Juechen has challenged Sword Douluo Chen Xin three times in a row," Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, she finally spoke:

"Inform Qian Renxue to immediately replace Xue Qinghe, and then... contact Dugu Bo and that Sword Obsessive Douluo, and make sure to win them over!"

Yue Guan bowed and accepted the order, "Yes, I will go and inform the Young Master immediately."

In the scene, Bibi Dong raised her head, her stunningly beautiful face covered in frost. "She is not the Young Master."

"Uh... I understand." Yue Guan quickly corrected himself, "I will go and inform... the Holy Maiden immediately."

The video ends here.

When Qian Renxue heard Bibi Dong's chilling words, "She is not the Young Master," her body trembled violently, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and overwhelming hatred and pain almost overflowed.

"How could she... how could she do this to me?!" Qian Renxue's voice was trembling with sobs, her whole body shaking slightly.

Ju Zi quickly put away the crystal and looked at Luo Can, somewhat at a loss.

Luo Can held Qian Renxue tightly in his arms, his voice gentle yet firm:

"Xue'er, I'm here. If you don't want to endure this, I'll go to the Spirit Hall right now and help you get revenge."

"No." Qian Renxue raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. "I will settle this score myself. She doesn't deserve... to be my mother."

"What are you planning to do?" Luo Can asked.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice regaining its composure. "According to the original plan, I will devour my 'original body' and become Limit Douluo in the shortest possible time. Then... I will go back and personally reclaim everything that is mine."

"Okay." Luo Can nodded emphatically, his eyes full of support. "I will help you break through in the shortest possible time."

Ju Zi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Snow, I'll keep an eye on Yue Guan Guan's situation these days. I'll let you know as soon as there's any new information."

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Ye Clan.

Ye Shengxin watched as Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin slowly walked into the hall, and stood up to greet them.

"Sect Master Ning, Your Sword Douluo, please be seated."

Looking at Ye Shengxin, who was noticeably younger and had a rosy complexion, Ning Fengzhi became even more certain that the curse on the Ye Clan's Martial Soul Curse had truly been lifted. Moreover, Ye Shengxin herself was in much better condition than when he last saw her.

He suppressed his excitement and put on a gentle smile:

"I apologize for my unauthorized visit, and hope that Elder Ye will not take offense."

Ye Shengxin's doubts deepened; Ning Fengzhi's politeness towards him was highly unusual.

"Sect Master Ning Sect Master Ning are too kind. May I ask what aspects of cooperation you wish to discuss with my Ye Clan today?"

Ning Fengzhi a deep breath, knowing that beating around the bush was pointless. He looked at Ye Shengxin and got straight to the point:

"Elder Ye is a straightforward man, so I won't hold back anymore."

He paused, then said:

"I've heard that your daughter didn't die after your granddaughter awakened her martial spirit. Moreover, after recovering... she joined a force called ' Fate Defying Pavilion '."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shengxin's heart sank.

Sure enough, that's what it was for.

Ning Fengzhi continued, looking directly at Ye Shengxin:

"I want to meet... the person who lifted the curse on your Ye family's martial soul."
