Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, First Batch of Inner Pavilion Candidates
Ning Fengzhi picked up the Jade Bottle, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement.
The restrictions that have plagued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for hundreds of years, and the long-cherished wish of generations, are finally about to be realized in their own hands today.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a sip now and try it." Luo Can looked at him and reminded him with a smile, "But I have to make it clear, you don't need to drink it all, just a small sip is enough, any more would be a waste."
Ning Fengzhi a deep breath and unscrewed the bottle cap.
An intensely rich, life-giving aroma instantly wafted out. Just one whiff made him feel completely refreshed and invigorated. He could even feel his body instinctively craving the liquid.
Even Chen Xin, who had been standing still the whole time, found his soul power surging after smelling the fragrance. His eyes burned as he stared at the Jade Bottle, his mind filled with only one thought: This is absolutely a divine object that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded!
Ning Fengzhi carefully brought the Jade Bottle to his lips and took a small sip.
The sweet liquid slid down his throat, and the next second, a warm and powerful life energy swept over his limbs and bones. The Old Injury his legs and feet that had bothered him for many years were instantly healed, and the hidden ailments left by years of hard work were also swept away. His internal organs seemed to have been cleansed, and his whole body was refreshed.
Just then, his soul power surged dramatically!
The bottleneck that had kept him stuck at Rank 79 for years was broken through with ease, as if it were made of paper.
"Level 80... I really broke through to level 80!" Ning Fengzhi murmured to himself.
"Fengzhi! Quickly check your martial spirit!" Chen Xin, standing beside him, hurriedly reminded him.
Ning Fengzhi immediately realized what was happening, and with a thought, he summoned his martial soul.
A crystal-clear glass tower appeared in his palm, radiating a soft light.
Ning Fengzhi his breath and counted the layers one by one. "One layer, two layers... seven layers, eight layers! There really are eight layers!"
When he reached the eighth floor, he could no longer control his emotions. "Uncle Sword! My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" he said in a trembling voice, his whole body shaking with excitement.
"That's great! That's wonderful!" Chen Xin exclaimed happily. "Let's go to the Star Dou Forest right now, and I'll go with you to hunt for your Eighth Spirit Ring! With this Eighth Spirit Ring, you'll be Soul Douluo!"
When the two turned their heads and looked at Luo Can again, their eyes were filled with deep awe.
To solve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's century-old problem so easily—this ability is simply unfathomable.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Ning Fengzhi bowed deeply to Luo Can, his tone extremely solemn. "I, Ning Fengzhi, will do my utmost to accomplish the three tasks you entrusted to me!"
"Hmm." Luo Can nodded, stood up, and said, "I won't keep you any longer."
After speaking, Luo Can turned and left the council hall.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin didn't dare linger and quickly left the Fate Defying Pavilion.
Instead of returning directly to Heaven Dou City, the two changed direction and headed straight for the Star Dou Forest.
On the way, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Sword, just how strong is that Pavilion Master Luo? Can you tell?"
Chen Xin remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "Unfathomable. He reminds me of two people."
"Who?"
"Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall, and Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect."
Ning Fengzhi was startled. "You mean, he has already reached the level of Peerless Douluo?"
"Very likely." Chen Xin sighed. "My father was also a level 98 Super Douluo back then. He once told me that there are two insurmountable peaks on the continent, one is Tang Chen, and the other is Qian Daoliu. When he challenged Qian Daoliu back then, he was defeated before he could even last three moves. When I faced Luo Can just now, I had the same feeling as when I faced Qian Daoliu back then."
"Such a powerful figure, and we had absolutely no information about him before," Ning Fengzhi sighed Youyou. "Just how many powerful figures are still hidden on this continent that we don't know about?"
The two traveled at breakneck speed and arrived at the Star Dou Forest in just half a day.
With Chen Xin, a level 96 Titled Douluo, protecting him, acquiring the Eighth Spirit Ring was a piece of cake. In less than a day, Ning Fengzhi successfully absorbed a suitable Sixty-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, and his spirit power soared to level 82.
"The effects of this Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid are terrifying!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, feeling the surging soul power within his body. "Not only did I break through the bottleneck, but my speed of absorbing Spirit Ring has also increased so much."
He looked at the Jade Bottle in his hand; two-thirds of the liquid remained inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Fengzhi handed the Jade Bottle to Chen Xin: "Uncle Sword, you should have a sip too. I'll take the rest back to Rongrong."
"Me?" Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, looking at him with some surprise.
"Hmm." Ning Fengzhi nodded and said seriously, "You and Uncle Gu are the pillars of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you can advance further, our sect will be even safer. It's a pity there's only one bottle, otherwise we could have left some for Uncle Gu."
Chen Xin did not refuse again. He took the Jade Bottle and, like Ning Fengzhi, took a small sip.
Just this small bite had a surprisingly good effect.
The bottleneck that had plagued him for years was showing signs of loosening. Moreover, the countless hidden injuries he had sustained in his youth were all healed under the nourishment of this life energy. He could even feel that his physical condition had returned to at least ten years ago.
"Fengzhi," Chen Xin said solemnly, handing the Jade Bottle back, "Try to be on good terms with him in the future. If possible... it would be best to form an alliance."
"I understand." Ning Fengzhi nodded heavily.
On the other side, Fate Defying Valley.
After Luo Can returned, he told Qian Renxue everything about the terms he had Ning Fengzhi.
"That's perfect, it saves us a lot of trouble," Qian Renxue said. "We can just go to Sunset Forest and wait there."
"When do you plan to leave?" Luo Can asked.
"Ten days from now," Qian Renxue said after thinking for a moment. "I'll adjust my condition for a few more days, bringing my body and soul power to their peak. That way, the success rate of devouring the original body will be higher."
The next few days passed peacefully, and nothing happened.
Luo Can went Fishing on the Lake Heart Island every day as usual. Occasionally, he would also visit the Destiny Fate Defying Pavilion to inquire about the progress of recruiting new disciples and to see how many disciples had accumulated 10,000 Contribution Point.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, there are currently seven disciples whose Contribution Point have exceeded ten thousand." Ye Qingyu handed a list to Luo Can, her tone somewhat nervous.
Luo Can took the list and looked at it carefully.
Yang Gang is ranked first. He has accumulated over 30,000 Contribution Point and reached the level 58 Spirit King. He is undoubtedly the number one among the Outer Pavilion disciples.
The second is Li Qing, with 18,000 Contribution Point, who is currently in seclusion trying to reach level 50 Spirit King.
The remaining five are Yang Fan, Ye Qingyu, Huang Erhe, Ye Cheng, and Kaido, each with between 11,000 and 14,000 Contribution Point, and all of them are Spirit King have just broken through to level 51.
Ye Qingyu stood to the side, feeling a little uneasy. Of these seven people, three were from the Ye Clan and two were from the Yang Clan family, making a total of five. She was afraid that Luo Can would think she was showing favoritism and be unhappy about it.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, Luo Can simply smiled and nodded, "Not bad, they are all good kids who are willing to work hard. Notify them to prepare for the advancement assessment for the Inner Pavilion Disciple."
Ye Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Yes, Pavilion Master! However, there's something I need to tell you. Yang Gang accepted a mission to explore the Far North Ice Plains and has been gone for several days. He won't be back for a while. Li Qing is also currently in seclusion to break through his current limitations and cannot participate in the assessment for the time being."
"It's nothing," Luo Can smiled and said, "The Vice Pavilion Master and I will be going on a long trip in a few days. We'll discuss the advancement assessment when we get back. As for Yang Gang, I'll personally assess him when he returns."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Qingyu nodded quickly.
Luo Can then inquired about the situation at the herbal medicine shop and the Soul Tool shop. When he heard that the Suotuo City branch, relying on the Injury Recovery Pill and Soul Recovery Liquid, was expected to break through 10,000 Gold Soul Coin in sales this month, Luo Can smiled with satisfaction.
"Well done," he said with a smile. "When that kid Yang Yan comes back next time, I'll definitely give him a good reward!"
