Upon hearing the other party's first sentence, Xu Xiao understood; indeed, perhaps ancient books would contain such records.

Xu Xiao remembered that Ning Fengzhi knew of a plant that could facilitate Martial Soul Evolution, though he did not know the specifics, only that such a plant existed.

This information was something he had learned from books, so it stood to reason that the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have seen records of Twin Martial Souls in his own texts.

As Xu Xiao listened to the man, a rather unlikely possibility surfaced in his mind.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't possibly be foolish enough to attempt such a thing, could they?

But upon reflection, it was not entirely impossible.

"Senior, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect trying to artificially create Twin Martial Souls?"

The man chuckled and nodded gently: "Speaking with a smart person is truly effortless."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does indeed have this idea."

Xu Xiao's mouth twitched; this notion was truly a fantasy. He had only been guessing, never truly believing such a thing was intended.

The man continued: "Since you, little friend, know the drawbacks of my Nine Heart Begonia, you must also know the drawbacks of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Xu Xiao naturally knew them; it was simply the inability to break through to Title Douluo, with the maximum level capped at 79.

Compared to that fellow who couldn't break through level 30 until he was 50, it was still much better.

At least the other party was a Soul Sage, whereas he? He was just a little piece of trash, a little piece of trash who didn't understand anything.

"A Soul Sage is the end of the road for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"This is also the greatest drawback of their Martial Soul!"

The more they chatted, the more the man felt that Xu Xiao was no simple person; it seemed this faction called Chuan Ling was quite extraordinary.

"That is exactly so; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has its flaws."

"And the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul also has its flaws."

"But it cannot be denied that these two Martial Souls have equal potential and can be considered of the same quality."

"According to Ning Buqun, when the two are combined, it is very easy to give birth to Twin Martial Souls."

"For this reason, he sought us out, hoping we would join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

As the man spoke to this point, Xu Xiao understood completely:

"So, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just wanted to use the title of the continent's number one support Martial Soul to recruit you."

"In reality, it was for the sake of Twin Martial Souls."

"To put it bluntly, joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is just being treated as a Breeding Pig, right?"

The man burst into laughter, his scholarly face showing a hint of amusement: "Breeding Pig? Heh, your analogy is quite accurate."

In fact, there was one more point, the most important one: if they failed to produce Twin Martial Souls, it would be one thing, but if they succeeded, it would cost them their lives.

There can only be two Nine Heart Begonias at once; if a third is to appear, one must die.

Who would die? This scholarly man before him, or Ye Shengxin?

Currently, they were the only two with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul; one of them would inevitably have to die.

No one would want that, regardless of who they were.

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not that kind; if they truly joined, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den.

"Since they are already after your lives, Senior, it is no wonder you are unwilling to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really obtained Twin Martial Souls, it wouldn't just mean having a Title Douluo; the title of the number one support Martial Soul would truly be theirs."

One had to admit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was playing a clever game, wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

Even without Twin Martial Souls, the Ye Family would belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the title of the number one support Martial Soul would still fall to them.

With Twin Martial Souls, they would not only gain a genius, but the number one support Martial Soul would still be under their banner.

No matter how one calculated it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not lose; one had to admit, they were truly good at calculating.

Ning Buqun? Heh, the name suited him well.

Calculating and hypocritical, using the competition for the top title to recruit the Ye Family—truly worthy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi, oh Ning Fengzhi, it seems your vision was inherited from your father.

"Indeed, the conditions offered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were tempting."

"If I joined their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would make me the Vice Sect Master and let me choose any resources I wanted."

"If that isn't a final meal before execution, what is?"

The man saw things clearly; anyone who knew the truth would know how to choose, so it was no wonder the Ye Family was unwilling.

You are after my life; it would be strange if I were willing.

"A final meal before execution—your description is quite apt, Senior. They promised to make you Vice Sect Master."

"Believe me, the moment the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul appeared within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, both you and your son would be sent to the afterlife."

Xu Xiao was not fear-mongering; Ye Shengxin and his son were outsiders after all. Despite the generous conditions, they were ultimately not one of their own.

If Xu Xiao were in Ning Buqun's position, he would certainly hope for this martial soul to appear within his direct lineage; only then would there be a guarantee.

When that time comes, the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul will belong to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Although I do not know what happened in the original work to cause the other party to fail, it is clearly my doing now.

The man sighed: "It is precisely because I know these things that I am unwilling to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Little friend, it is time to say why you have come."

The man's gaze fell upon Xu Xiao. He was curious about what this Chuan Ling force actually was, where it came from, where its stronghold was, and how strong it was.

"Senior, you must have already guessed it, right?" Xu Xiao knew the other party was a smart man, so he did not beat around the bush.

"Hehe, recruitment."

"But why should my Ye Family join your Chuan Ling force?"

"Furthermore, I don't even know your name yet."

"If it weren't for the sake of His Excellency Seven Kill, do you think you could have chatted with me for so long? Little guy!"

The man naturally knew the purpose of Xu Xiao's visit; after chatting for so long, anyone with eyes could see it.

Xu Xiao chuckled: "Senior, this junior is Xu Xiao!"

"The head of the Chuan Ling force!"

Xu Xiao stood up, looked at the man earnestly, and reintroduced himself.

The man paused. He said he was the head?

"Wait a moment, you say you are the head of the Chuan Ling force?"

The man looked at the other party in disbelief.

Xu Xiao nodded seriously: "It is indeed me."

"This junior is untalented, but I can barely manage as the head."

"The son of His Excellency Seven Kill is the fifth Hall Master of my Chuan Ling force."

The man finally understood. After all this time, this so-called Chuan Ling organization is just you little guys playing around?

"Hehe, little guy, this is the second time." The man remained as gentle as a spring breeze, but his eyes revealed a faint sense of displeasure.

Yes, it was displeasure.

To be toyed with twice by the same person in one day, how could he be happy?

"Hehe, Senior, that is where you are mistaken."

"Everything I have said, except for that first sentence, is the truth."

"It was only the first time; there was no second time!"

Xu Xiao chuckled, unbothered. Now, the tension from just a moment ago had dissipated.
