Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

Poison Douluo and Bone Douluo headed toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one after the other.

Su Ming said nothing. He silently took the Thunder-attribute Soul Core out of the Creation Furnace, his Golden Finger, and held it in his hand.

Watching Su Ming take out a Soul Power Core crackling with arcs of electricity, Sword Douluo Chen Xin felt a shiver of alarm. His mental power and Martial Soul both warned him frantically: that thing could blast him into critical condition.

Ning Fengzhi, a Level 79 Support-type Soul Master, of course felt the immense threat emanating from the Soul Power Core crackling with electricity in Su Ming's hand.

As the Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi knew when to bend and when to stand firm. He immediately got to his feet and apologized to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, I apologize for what Uncle Gu said just now."

"To show my sincerity, name your price for these two pills. I won't haggle."

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had put it that way, Su Ming didn't hold back.

"Fine. Since Sect Master Ning put it that way, I want two hundred million Gold Soul Coins, a Ten-Thousand Year Fire Attribute Tiger Soul Bone, and an Ice-attribute Dragon Soul Bone at least thirty thousand years old. And finally..."

Hearing the first part—two hundred million Gold Soul Coins—Sword Douluo was shocked. But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was richer than an empire, and money was no problem for them, so he could accept it.

Su Ming also wanted two Soul Bones. That was no problem either. After all, these two pills determined whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But when he heard that there was still one last demand, Sword Douluo Chen Xin slammed both hands on the table.

"Kid, don't push your luck!"

Su Ming ignored Chen Xin. Instead, he glanced at Ning Rongrong, then stared straight into Ning Fengzhi's eyes and said,

"My final demand is that Ning Rongrong marry me."

Hearing Su Ming's final demand, Ning Fengzhi fell into thought.

Seeing this, Su Ming began to explain.

"I'm sure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has investigated me. I hadn't planned on asking Ning Rongrong to marry me, but just now, when Bone Douluo knowingly threatened me despite knowing I had a Level 94 Titled Douluo behind me, I realized my backing still wasn't powerful enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared threaten me. So Ning Rongrong has to marry me. Otherwise, even if I were to destroy—"

"Agreed."

"Say that again."

Ning Fengzhi repeated himself.

"I said I agree. I'll let Rongrong marry you, and I accept your other terms too: two hundred million Gold Soul Coins, which I can give you right now."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi say she would marry Su Ming, Ning Rongrong's little face flushed red.

"As for those two Soul Bones, we happen to have suitable ones in our sect's treasury."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took two gleaming gold cards from his Storage Soul Tool and handed them to Su Ming.

Su Ming accepted the Gold Soul Coin cards and put them in his Storage Soul Tool. Without another word, he took out the other pill and handed it to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong carefully accepted the jade bottle.

Su Ming looked at Ning Rongrong, then turned to Ning Fengzhi and spoke.

"Good. Since that's settled, Father-in-law, let me show you my sincerity. The forest villa area behind the academy isn't far from here, and Rongrong and I both live there while we're at school. Let's go now and have Ning Rongrong absorb the pill she just received there."

"Hmph! It's too early to call me Father-in-law, kid. Wait until Rongrong's Martial Soul evolves into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

As he spoke, Sword Douluo took Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong with him and flew toward the villa area.

Seeing this, Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul and used his first Soul Skill along with his second Soul Skill, Lightning Flash. Combining the two skills, he hurried toward the villa area.

On the way there, Su Ming remembered something and returned to the classroom building. He told Dean Flender to bring Wang Sheng to the villa area too.

After giving those instructions, Su Ming quickly flew toward the villa area.

As soon as they landed in Ning Rongrong's courtyard, Ning Fengzhi asked Su Ming,

"Su Ming, is there any special way to take this pill?"

Su Ming looked at Ning Rongrong, who was already sitting cross-legged and ready.

"There's no special method. Just swallow it and use your Soul Power to refine it."

Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Ning Rongrong swallowed the pill.

As soon as it entered her stomach, Ning Rongrong began to change. Her Martial Soul appeared behind her, its seven-colored glow enveloped in a golden light. A rich fragrance of tulips wafted from her body.

After seeing the changes in Ning Rongrong's body, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Su Ming watched her in silence, waiting.

Time passed slowly. Three hours later, the rich tulip fragrance around Ning Rongrong gradually faded. Her Martial Soul shrank and returned to her body, and the fluctuations in her Soul Power gradually settled.

Another ten minutes passed. Ning Rongrong finished absorbing the pill and opened her eyes.

Seeing the change in Ning Rongrong's Soul Power, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin hurried forward to ask,

"Rongrong, how do you feel after absorbing the pill?"

After standing up, Ning Rongrong sensed her body with her Soul Power. Finding nothing wrong, she replied,

"I don't feel any different. My body feels warm and comfortable. And my Soul Power has gone from Level 26 to Level 30."

Su Ming suddenly appeared behind Ning Rongrong and chimed in,

"Rongrong, summon your Martial Soul and let my father-in-law and Grandpa Jian get a good look at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Su Ming's sudden appearance behind her startled Ning Rongrong, who had been lost in her joy. Still, she obediently summoned her Martial Soul as he asked.

Ning Rongrong circulated her Soul Power, and a small tower glowing with nine colors appeared in her right hand.

Ning Fengzhi stared at the small tower glowing with nine colors in Ning Rongrong's right hand.

Ning Fengzhi excitedly grabbed Ning Rongrong's right hand. Then, with his slightly trembling right hand, he began to count the tiers.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It really is a nine-tiered Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of hot blood rush through him. His voice was already trembling.

"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda—it really is the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"For generations, the dream of every Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. And I, Ning Fengzhi, have made it happen!"

As he spoke, a tear rolled down Ning Fengzhi's cheek.

Seeing this, Su Ming patted Ning Rongrong's little bottom, signaling her to put away her Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Rongrong was embarrassed and annoyed when Su Ming patted her bottom, but she still did as he asked and put away her Martial Soul.

"Come on, Father-in-law, don't be sad. You should be happy. Shouldn't you hurry up and take the pill so your Martial Soul can evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda too?"

"Once your Martial Soul evolves, take a few more wives and do your best to ensure the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is passed down securely. Then announce to the continent that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has changed its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin hurried forward to comfort him too.

"That's right, Fengzhi. The most important thing now is to return to the sect at once and take the pill so your Martial Soul can evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda too. Then we can announce to the continent that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has changed its name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi had recovered by now.

"Right. Dugu Bo and Uncle Gu are probably still facing off at the sect. We should hurry back."
