Visualization Diagram and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

"Master, Rongrong is already up. What are you holding?"

Zhu Zhuqing entered her master's room and found him holding something like a brick, its surface gleaming with a metallic sheen.

It looked somewhat like a Soul Tool, but she was certain she had never seen this kind of Soul Tool before.

"This is a Soul Tool Communicator. It can be used for long-distance calls. This one is for you."

Lin Mian handed the Soul Tool Communicator he had obtained from the system to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Long-distance calls?"

"Isn't this the kind of device Judgment Hall is researching? Where did you get it, Master? Have they already developed it?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked surprised. She had only heard that such a thing was still being researched, yet her master had taken one out.

"Why do you have so many questions? Do you want it or not? If you don't, I'm taking it back."

"Yes, of course I want it. Since you've already given it to me, Master, I definitely want it."

Because of Judgment Hall, Zhu Zhuqing had always been particularly interested in Soul Tools. Naturally, she liked this sort of thing.

"It's fine as long as you want it. I'm heading out on a long journey. If you have any problems, use this to contact me anytime."

"A long journey? Master, aren't you taking me with you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in surprise.

"It won't take long. Just stay here and keep an eye on that junior sister of yours."

"Oh."

Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat disappointed. Over the past few days, she had grown accustomed to having her master by her side.

Seeing her dejection, Lin Mian felt that taking her as a disciple had not been in vain after all.

He then took a scroll from his Soul Tool and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

"This is a Visualization Diagram. I made it by engraving scenes from the City of Slaughter, along with the killing intent contained within them, onto it."

"Meditating on this Visualization Diagram can strengthen your spiritual power."

"A Visualization Diagram? It can even improve spiritual power?"

Zhu Zhuqing accepted the Visualization Diagram. It was her first time hearing of such a thing.

"That's right. But the killing intent within it is far too terrifying for you. It could rush into your spiritual sea, so you must use it with caution."

"I see."

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat disappointed. So it had side effects.

A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Lin Mian's lips.

"Looks like you're disappointed. But don't be disappointed just yet. Your master has long since thought of a way to solve those side effects."

Under Zhu Zhuqing's astonished gaze, Lin Mian took out a blade of grass from his Soul Tool.

The instant the grass appeared, the somewhat scorching weather seemed to turn cool at once.

The grass was small and exquisite, entirely the color of pale, warm jade, untouched by even the slightest worldly impurity.

Its stem was slender and straight, pure white like jade, while its rounded leaves alternated along the stalk and gave off a faint, gentle glow.

The entire plant carried a quiet, delicate fragrance. Its aura was calm and restrained, and merely looking at it brought peace to one's heart, leaving no trace of agitation.

"This is Worry-Free Clearing Heart Grass, an Immortal Herb. It can calm the mind and settle the spirit."

"If you meditate on the Visualization Diagram beside it, you won't be disturbed by the killing intent. I'll give it to you now."

Lin Mian had obtained this Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He had kept it on him all this time, and today was the perfect time to give it to his disciple.

Zhu Zhuqing carefully accepted the Immortal Herb. The instant she took it, her heart calmed at once.

"Thank you, Master. I'll definitely cultivate diligently."

"No need to thank me. Keep it up. I have faith in you."

Lin Mian walked out the door and vanished in an instant.

Zhu Zhuqing looked in the direction her master had disappeared, feeling somewhat wistful.

A Communication Soul Tool, a Visualization Diagram, an Immortal Herb.

Master, just who are you?

Could you really be His Excellency the Arbiter?

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing recalled the City of Slaughter her master had mentioned earlier.

She had once read records about that place in books.

It was where Judgment Hall's headquarters stood. It had once been a paradise of evil, but several decades ago, it was destroyed by the Judgment Douluo, who then built Judgment Hall upon its ruins.

Master said this Visualization Diagram was drawn from the City of Slaughter. Could he truly be His Excellency the Arbiter?

I became His Excellency the Arbiter's disciple?

Zhu Zhuqing drifted off in thought.

Time fast-forwarded to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect two days later.

After Lin Mian released Ning Ershi, he hurried back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as quickly as possible.

He was a Soul Emperor himself, and his cultivation was not low. Since he had not stopped for even a moment, he finally arrived on the afternoon of the third day.

He did not do much else. After handing over the Law Enforcement Soul Tool he had used to record everything that happened after Ning Rongrong left, he said nothing more.

Watching the final images displayed by the Law Enforcement Soul Tool, Ning Fengzhi's face turned incomparably grim.

"Who exactly is this person? He knew Rongrong was the little princess of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet he still dared to lay a hand on her."

"Ning Ershi, tell me. What sort of feeling did that person give you? Roughly what level was his Soul Power?"

"That person felt extremely terrifying. He should have discovered me long ago, but he simply never said anything. As for his Soul Power, I believe he should possess the strength of a Title Douluo."

Ning Ershi had actually wanted to say that not even the two elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had ever pressured him as much as that man had.

But he still felt that conclusion was too absurd and did not voice his speculation.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned somewhat solemn.

"It seems this man truly has some ability. Even if he isn't a Title Douluo, he is definitely at least a Spirit Douluo. But that does not give him the right to humiliate Rongrong."

"Go invite the two elders over. We will discuss Rongrong's matter together."

"This disciple obeys."

Ning Ershi headed toward where Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo lived.

About fifteen minutes later, the two arrived one after another.

"Sect Master, what happened that requires both of us to come?"

Sword Douluo arrived first. Seeing Ning Fengzhi's expression, he knew something had definitely happened.

"It concerns Rongrong."

"What? It concerns Rongrong? Was she bullied?"

"Where is Rongrong now? We need to find her immediately."

Bone Douluo had just entered the room when he heard that something had happened to Ning Rongrong, and he immediately began shouting.

"This matter may truly require the two of you to step in. As for where to go, watch this recording first."

Ning Fengzhi activated the Law Enforcement Soul Tool and played the scene of Ning Rongrong being beaten.

When they saw Ning Rongrong being beaten in the recording, both Title Douluos were furious beyond measure.

"This person is so arrogant. Not only did he hit Rongrong, he's even waiting for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to come find him."

"If that's the case, then this old man will go meet him. It has been a long time since I've stretched my bones."

Killing intent swirled around Bone Douluo, and he could not wait to rush to Suotuo City at once.

Sword Douluo, however, looked grave and said nothing.

Noticing something strange, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Uncle Sword, do you know this person? Is there something wrong?"

"I may have seen him before, but I can't recall who he is at the moment."

That person gave him a familiar feeling, but he simply could not remember exactly who he was.

"You old sword, are you scared? If you are, I'll go by myself."

Bone Douluo's mocking voice rang out.

Sword Douluo stopped dwelling on it.

"You're the one who's scared. I only find him familiar; it's not like I'm refusing to go."

"Besides, if I let you go alone and you get beaten until you're crawling around looking for your teeth, it'll be our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that loses face."

"Loses face? You're the one who'll lose face. Let's see who gets there first."

"Fine, let's compete. Do you think I'm afraid of a pile of bones like you?"

After discussing matters with Ning Fengzhi, the two rushed toward Suotuo City at top speed.

Ning Fengzhi had actually thought that sending one of them would be enough, but he could not persuade them otherwise and could only let them have their way.
