Want to Learn Alchemy! Fengzhi, Should I Go Grab That Guy? Ning Fengzhi Couldn't Believe It
The two Soul Douluo from the auction house and Tai Tan were all dumbfounded by this turn of events.
Only then did they suddenly come to their senses.
If anyone yearned for this pill the most,
there was no doubt it was the renowned Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Limited by his Martial Soul, he was still only at level seventy-nine.
If he could break through with this pill, not only would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect rise to even greater heights, but the entire balance of power across the continent would likely shift dramatically.
No wonder Sect Master Ning had rushed over in such a hurry.
"Congratulations, Sect Master Ning, on winning the precious pill! With this pill, it won't be long before your cultivation reaches a new level!"
The two auctioneers smiled and offered their congratulations.
Though they were somewhat reluctant to see it go, the other party had helped them out of a bind,
and he hadn't started by naming a price they couldn't hope to match. Instead, he'd raised his bid bit by bit, showing them due respect.
In the end, he'd raised the price to five million. Clearly, he hoped to win the favor of that mysterious VIP.
Sure enough, Ning Fengzhi's next words were an attempt to get information about Ling Xiao.
"I wonder where your auction house found such a miraculous medicine? I'd like to meet the extraordinary person who made it. Could the two of you introduce us?"
After winning the pill, Ning Fengzhi immediately began examining it.
Just smelling its medicinal fragrance made him feel a slight stir in the cultivation that had been stagnant for more than a decade.
He could barely contain his excitement.
He wasn't sure whether it could help him break through the limitations of his Martial Soul, but he could be certain the pill would benefit him.
That was enough.
Even if it couldn't help him break through, as long as it could be continually improved, there would always be hope.
That was why he was so eager to meet Ling Xiao and learn how to make it.
"Please forgive us, Sect Master Ning."
The white-bearded Soul Douluo spoke with some difficulty.
"My colleague and I also wanted to meet that VIP, but he declined to see all visitors. Our auction house has always respected our clients' privacy, so..."
Bone Douluo knitted his brows,
and was about to speak—
when Ning Fengzhi raised a hand to stop him. With a gentle expression, he said:
"It's all right. I understand your predicament. Then please pass this gold card to your esteemed guest!"
He took out a gold-plated card and handed it over.
"The doors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are always open to him!"
Inside the private room.
"Teacher, could your pill really help Sect Master Ning break through to Soul Douluo?"
Qian Renxue asked curiously.
Ling Xiao had been rather vague earlier, and she was quite curious too.
It would pose no problem for an ordinary Soul Master, but Ning Fengzhi's limitation came from his Martial Soul.
"That pill... does have a chance of helping him break through. But it all depends on his luck."
Ling Xiao leisurely replied, turning over the exquisite card embossed with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his hand.
It had been sent over by Ning Fengzhi,
and came with practically no spending limit. All purchases would be charged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It was clear he was being quite sincere.
"Even the pills Teacher casually makes have such miraculous effects. If you made one in earnest, it would surely help him break through."
"Teacher, are you really not going to meet him?"
Qian Renxue said, a trace of regret on her face.
As long as Teacher was willing to make a move, he could have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wrapped around his little finger.
It was the wealthiest sect on the entire continent!
It also possessed the continent's foremost support-type Martial Soul, as well as two Titled Douluo...
"Two Titled Douluo are nothing. Don't be so shortsighted."
Ling Xiao said, exasperated by her lack of ambition.
"Do as I told you, one step at a time.
"God King is only the starting point. Breaking through the dimensional barrier and becoming the Creation God—that's only your early-stage goal."
Indeed, with guidance from a Dou Sheng like him, and with the Angel Martial Soul possessing attributes like light, flame, and holiness,
it had both offense and defense, along with immense potential.
It could be called the Martial Soul closest to the attributes of creation!
If she proceeded step by step, reaching the realm of creation was only a matter of time.
But Ling Xiao was always saying things like that, and she was tired of hearing them.
"Then, Teacher, could you teach me your incredible alchemy?"
Qian Renxue stared at Ling Xiao with burning eyes.
One pill had been enough to win the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master's favor,
and her own Martial Soul had been promoted to the Twelve-Winged Angel thanks to the effects of alchemy.
And there was more.
She hadn't noticed it earlier,
but the pills Teacher had given her during the competition had instantly restored her Soul Power, mental strength, and overall condition.
Before, her mind had been entirely on the match,
so she hadn't realized it,
but now that she thought about it, it was truly amazing.
If those pills were put up for sale, plenty of people would probably fight tooth and nail to get them.
If she could master this miraculous art of alchemy, she'd only need to beckon and every faction would come bowing to her.
Then she wouldn't have to struggle through the arena, raise her cultivation, and rack her brains over the switcheroo.
"Don't get ahead of yourself! You can't even become invincible among your peers, and you're already coveting my alchemy?"
Ling Xiao gave Qian Renxue a rap on the head.
"Hurry up and pack. We're getting ready to leave."
"What? Invincible among my peers means you won't let me use my Martial Soul or Soul Skills, and you want me to headbutt my opponent to death?..."
Qian Renxue grumbled inwardly,
but obediently put away the formal dress she'd won and that "broken rock."
Then she wrapped her cloak around herself and vanished from the auction house.
"Fengzhi, are you sure you don't want me to go grab that guy?"
On the carriage, Bone Douluo drawled.
"Forget it! Since he doesn't want to reveal himself, there's no need for now. I'll test the pill first, then we'll see!"
Ning Fengzhi said, holding the White Jade Medicine Bottle.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's commercial network reached every corner of the continent.
If he wanted to find someone,
as long as that person was still alive, they would never escape his grasp.
"Fengzhi, shouldn't we have someone else try it first? What if there's something wrong with the pill..."
Bone Douluo said in a low voice.
Though he'd examined it too and was fairly sure there was nothing seriously wrong with it, Ning Fengzhi was the soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The slightest mishap could bring disastrous consequences.
Ning Fengzhi rubbed the White Jade Medicine Bottle, feeling the faint chill against his hand, and couldn't help feeling a little conflicted.
Not long ago, Tang San had appeared,
claiming he could solve the problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul being unable to break through to Soul Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi had even invested several million Gold Soul Coins in him.
And now, only a few days later,
a pill that could help people increase their Soul Power had appeared.
When had the problem that had plagued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for thousands of years become so easy to solve?
It all felt unreal to him.
He even wondered whether the two were connected,
but after seeing the other party clash with Tai Tan, he dismissed the suspicion.
Still, he decided to check on Tang San's progress.
After all, the boy had promised that he'd give him a perfect answer within a month.
Nearly half a month had passed already.
Outside the Tiandou Auction House.
After being embarrassed by Ling Xiao, the father and son of the Titan clan didn't dare to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
They also couldn't bring themselves to openly challenge the Tiandou Auction House, so they decided to wait outside for the kid who'd made fools of them.
