My Daughter Possesses the Bearing of a Deity

Upon learning that these were rare treasures, each worth millions of Gold Soul Coins and capable of solidifying a soul master's foundation, Dugu Bo's entire demeanor shifted. The guilt he felt moments ago for nearly knocking Tang San unconscious over his precious granddaughter had vanished completely.

He now wished he could go back and land a few more blows. If not for the fact that the boy might be the only one capable of purging the toxins from his and his granddaughter's bodies, and that his father was the Clear Sky Douluo, he would have been tempted to silence him permanently.

"Yanyan, how did you know the names of these immortal herbs, their effects, and how to consume them? And that miscell... that immortal herb, how did you turn it into Gold Soul Coins?"

Having calmed his nerves, Dugu Bo began to interrogate his granddaughter about how she learned of these herbs, and more curiously, how she had conjured up a full eight million Gold Soul Coins.

"Grandpa, it wasn't conjured. I got them through a trade."

Dugu Yan corrected her grandfather's phrasing, gathered her thoughts, and explained: "This morning, my consciousness entered a strange place. Aside from me, there were quite a few others there."

"That place doesn't just allow for communication across distances; one can also conduct trades and buy items. Whether it's rare treasures or even more miraculous objects, anything is possible."

"I learned the names and effects of these immortal herbs from that place. The herb I just dug up was sold to someone who used the name of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe—though I don't know their true identity—in exchange for those Gold Soul Coins."

Dugu Yan kept the details simple, ensuring her grandfather could understand her without unnecessary complexity.

Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, his face a mask of ghostly shock.

Consciousness entering a strange place? Many people inside? Communication across distances? Trading various items?

It sounded too mystical; in all his years, he had never heard of such a thing.

If not for the mountain of Gold Soul Coins sitting right before his eyes, he would have assumed his precious granddaughter had lost her mind.

After several seconds of stunned silence, he snapped back to reality, his expression turning tense. He stared fixedly at Dugu Yan and pressed, "You said you sold it to someone using the name of the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe?"

"Yes, everyone who enters that place can hide their true identity," Dugu Yan nodded.

Dugu Bo asked impatiently, "Yanyan, what about you? Did you use a pseudonym to hide your identity?"

"I did," Dugu Yan replied, then added with a hint of dejection, "but that fellow named Xue Qinghe recognized me."

Upon hearing that his granddaughter had hidden her identity, Dugu Bo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next second he nearly stumbled, looking as if he might collapse before her again.

"Then doesn't that mean many people know you sold the immortal herb?"

Dugu Bo was incredibly nervous. Even though he was a Title Douluo, if word of this leaked out, he wouldn't be able to protect that location.

"Grandpa, don't worry. With the Group Leader speaking up, no one will dare to target the Herb Garden," Dugu Yan said, sensing her grandfather's anxiety and rushing to comfort him.

"That's good, that's good," Dugu Bo exhaled.

"But Grandpa, even if no one in the group dares to make a move, we can't let our guard down. You should set up a few more layers of poison arrays inside and out to prevent outsiders from breaking in."

Dugu Yan added this as a precaution; while no one in the chat group would target their garden, there was no guarantee that an outsider wouldn't stumble upon it.

"Grandpa knows."

Dugu Bo was well aware of this. Now that he knew the value of the immortal herbs, he was even more concerned than his granddaughter.

Deciding to begin reinforcing the poison arrays later that night, Dugu Bo asked with renewed curiosity, "By the way, Yanyan, who is this Group Leader you mentioned? And are there any people in there that you know?"

"The Group Leader is the one who created that place. As for people I know, there are quite a few."

Dugu Yan thought for a moment and began listing the names she knew.

"There's the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong. There are also the three girls from Shrek Academy I told you about; the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong, is one of them. I'm not sure about the rest. Oh, right, there's someone called the Sea God Island High Priest. Her strength must be extraordinary—perhaps even greater than the Pope's."

As Dugu Yan spoke, Dugu Bo gasped. The Pope of Martial Soul Hall was actually in there!

That was a figure even he had to look up to, and Martial Soul Hall was even more powerful than the two great empires combined.

But when his granddaughter mentioned the Sea God Island High Priest, Dugu Bo's pupils constricted violently. Stronger than the Pope of Martial Soul Hall? Could it be the legendary Bo Saixi, one of the three peerless powerhouses of the continent, known as the Invincible of the Sea?!

Dugu Bo felt his heart struggling to cope. His granddaughter's words were being confirmed bit by bit; he needed to take a fast-acting heart medication to calm his nerves.

On the other side.

Ning Rongrong had rushed back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in a flurry, immediately seeking out her father, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.

Without any preamble, she concisely explained the heaven-defying opportunity she had encountered.

Similar to Dugu Yan's account, she portrayed Wu Xing as the most powerful deity from the upper realms to make it easier for her father and the two elders to accept.

At first, they were skeptical, but when they saw Ning Rongrong produce a century-old soul ring to toy with in her palm, they believed.

After all, who could simply pull out a soul ring to play with?

Ning Fengzhi made an immediate decision to pool enough funds to secure the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which could change the fate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It must be said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was incredibly wealthy; in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they had gathered a small fortune in Gold Soul Coins.

Then, under their astonished gazes, Ning Rongrong contacted Dugu Yan directly and began the trade.

As the Gold Soul Coins vanished, a glowing immortal herb appeared in her hand. The group realized that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had struck gold—Rongrong had truly been chosen by a deity.

"Father, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, this is the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Consuming it will allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda. It will also solidify the foundation and strengthen the core, making it easy to reach the Title Douluo realm."

Ning Rongrong did not consume the herb herself, instead handing it to her father, Ning Fengzhi.

"Rongrong, you should be the one to consume this herb," Ning Fengzhi said, refusing to take it and insisting his precious daughter use it.

This was his daughter's opportunity; how could he snatch it away?

Ning Rongrong did not decline. In any case, she had the chat group. Even if Dugu Yan didn't have another Aromatic Silk Beauty, she could eventually save up enough points to exchange for one from the mall for her father.

When she consumed the Aromatic Silk Beauty in front of Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, and her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda—with her soul power jumping from level 28 to 30—the last shred of doubt in the three men vanished.

He, Ning Fengzhi!

His own daughter, Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Possessed the potential of a deity!!!
