"Qian Yu, then what do you need? As long as it can make my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve once more, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will give you whatever you want, even me." Ning Rongrong spoke with blunt directness, all to fulfill the thousand-year dream of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
She was even willing to offer herself.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zhu Zhuqing also began to think seriously.
What could she give Qian Yu? Aside from her body, there really was nothing else.
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned bright red.
Xiao Wu thought of her mother, that Soft Bone Charm Rabbit cruelly murdered by Martial Soul Hall.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes involuntarily: "I want to become stronger!"
"Qian Yu, I can also give myself to you." Xiao Wu didn't feel conflicted; on the contrary, she seemed eager to try.
At this moment, the most carefree of them all was Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan recalled the instructions Dugu Bo gave before leaving: "Yanzi, you are my only granddaughter. Based on my years of experience in judging people, Qian Yu is absolutely someone worth entrusting your life to. If you can, Grandfather hopes you can win him over."
Recalling the handsome youth before her who had saved her grandfather's life and rescued her from danger, her eyes held not just love, but deep, profound gratitude.
"Qian Yu, I am willing as well."
"Ah!"
Now it was Qian Yu's turn to be dumbfounded.
"What are you all talking about? That's not what I meant at all." Qian Yu found himself unable to defend his position.
Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Eye laughed until it was rolling over: "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so popular. So many beauties are willing to submit themselves to you."
"Divine Eye, stop messing around. That's not what I meant. My intention is to establish a sect, have them join it, and ensure they never betray it in this lifetime."
Qian Yu explained his plan to the Divine Eye.
The Divine Eye fell silent for a long time after hearing this, then spoke again: "Qian Yu, I truly didn't misjudge you."
Following that, the Divine Eye sank into a long period of silence once more.
In reality.
The four girls were all gazing at Qian Yu with eager eyes.
Qian Yu regained his composure.
After various explanations, he finally managed to make everyone understand his true meaning.
"Hey, so you meant establishing a sect? You had me thinking you wanted me to offer myself to you!" Ning Rongrong said to Qian Yu with a look of resentment.
"Qian Yu, I will be the first to join your sect. I, Zhu Zhuqing, swear that I will treat this sect as my home for the rest of my life. Should I betray it, may my martial soul shatter." Zhu Zhuqing felt disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood and swore upon her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.
"Me too. I, Xiao Wu, swear that I will treat this sect as my home for the rest of my life. Should I betray it, may my martial soul shatter." Xiao Wu also felt downcast, "Stinky Qian Yu." But she still followed Zhu Zhuqing's lead and swore the oath.
Dugu Yan felt the least burdened; she had no sect, and her family consisted only of her grandfather.
She quickly swore as well: "I, Dugu Yan, swear that I will treat this sect as my home for the rest of my life. Should I betray it, may my martial soul shatter."
Among the four, Ning Rongrong was the most troublesome.
She was the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect herself.
Asking her to join another sect was a complicated matter.
But faced with the possibility of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolving again, Qian Yu believed she would make the right choice.
In the end, Ning Rongrong swore: "I, Ning Rongrong, swear that I will treat this sect as my home for the rest of my life. Should I betray it, may my martial soul shatter."
"Good, I accept everyone's membership. I, Qian Yu, shall be the first Sect Master, and you four will be the Vice Sect Masters for now. I leave it to you all to recruit talented individuals for the sect in the future."
Qian Yu bowed to the group.
The four girls accepted it with grace.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask: "Sect Master, now that we are all part of the sect, what shall we call it?"
"Ah." This was something Qian Yu truly hadn't thought about.
He had only been thinking about deepening their bond, much like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—an inspiration Ning Fengzhi had given him a few days ago.
The academy's constraints on everyone were still too small, while a sect could be considered a soul master's true home.
Qian Yu believed that if they treated it as their own home, everyone would strive hard to repay the sect.
"How about we call it Feather Gate?" It was the thoughtful big sister Dugu Yan who spoke up, knowing how to help Qian Yu out of his predicament.
"Feather Gate, Feather Gate, that's a nice name."
Ning Rongrong cheered happily.
Once the name was decided, they finally reached the most critical step.
Qian Yu signaled for everyone to be quiet.
Qian Yu said to the four girls: "The items I am about to bring out must be consumed right here."
The four girls all widened their eyes, watching Qian Yu without blinking.
Then Qian Yu took out four medicinal herbs from his Soul Tool.
"Medicinal herbs?" Dugu Yan had seen Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.
She recognized these things at a glance.
"Mm." Qian Yu felt a bit awkward. To take out stolen goods in front of the owner and then use them to tie up the owner.
Only Qian Yu would do something like this.
Who knew Dugu Yan didn't care at all.
It was because Old Master Dugu Bo didn't understand the medicinal properties of these herbs.
Qian Yu's face didn't change, and his heart didn't skip a beat.
Shrek's Four Maidens' Immortal Herb Encounter
Qian Yu held the four immortal herbs and distributed them one by one according to the characteristics of the four maidens.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to receive the pure white and crystal-clear Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. It turned into a cool jade liquid upon entering her mouth, instantly sweeping through her entire body. Her Soul Power surged from level 27 to 30, and it was far from over. It was only temporarily fixed at level 30 due to the limitation of her third Spirit Ring. Her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul evolved, and a light purple hell mist began to swirl around her body. Her fur became even more lustrous and smooth, and the meridians in her limbs were completely unblocked, making her physique more agile than before.
Her originally lively cat pupils became even sharper, emitting a cold light. Her speed and explosive power doubled, and she moved with almost no afterimages. Her skin also became radiant and translucent due to the nourishment of the immortal herb, adding a touch of cold elegance to her pure beauty.
Dugu Yan took the pale pink crystal-like Hundred Poison Bane Aromatic Silk Beauty. The purple stamen's fragrance lingered around her nose, and the petals were sweet and refreshing as they went down her throat. Her Soul Power rose from level 32 to 40, and her Green Spirit Snake Martial Soul underwent a transformation. The originally light purple poison mist became denser and deeper, and its toxicity became more refined, exuding a sense of deterrence as it swirled around her.
More importantly, the power of the immortal herb completely neutralized the hidden danger of poison backlash within her body, allowing her to control the poison mist at will. Whether releasing or retracting it, she could do so with ease. A layer of invisible poison-proof barrier could even form around her body, making her immune to all poisons in the world.
Qian Yu handed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to Xiao Wu. The clear dew liquid entered her body, and her Soul Power rose from level 25 to 30. At the same time, Qian Yu informed the Divine Eye not to absorb Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year origin anymore and to return her origin. Given Xiao Wu's talent, it was estimated that she would reach at least level 36 after the breakthrough. Her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul also underwent a special evolution. A faint pink and white halo appeared around Xiao Wu's body, her Martial Soul phantom became clearer, her long ears became more agile, able to capture subtle Soul Power fluctuations, and a trace of clear spiritual light appeared in her eyes, with the prototype of special red pupils emerging.
The evolved Soft Bone Rabbit not only retained its original agility and nimbleness but also awakened special perception, allowing it to vaguely discern the opponent's aura and position, giving it a natural advantage in combat.
Ning Rongrong held the King of Immortal Herbs, Aromatic Silk Beauty Tulip. The rich exotic fragrance seeped into her heart, and her Soul Power increased directly, jumping from level 26 to 30. In reality, she could reach level 35. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda phantom above her head trembled violently. The pagoda body slowly rose from seven layers to nine layers, its glazed luster becoming even more brilliant. The patterns on the pagoda body became more intricate and exquisite, with a faint golden halo surrounding each layer.
After her Martial Soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it completely broke the restriction of the sect's Martial Soul only having seven rings. Not only did the amplification range expand, but the amplification intensity also greatly increased. The Soul Power flowing through the pagoda body became purer, making her more composed when providing support.
"Sect Master. Thank you!"
"Sect Master. Thank you!"
"Sect Master. Thank you!"
"Sect Master. Thank you!"
As the cultivation of the four maidens broke through and their Martial Souls evolved, they all looked at Qian Yu with grateful eyes.
Finally, Ning Rongrong instigated, and everyone rushed forward, each kissing Qian Yu once.
