Bestowing the Soul Core Method, Nine Treasures Appear

"Sect Master Yu, may I ask how you managed to break through to the ninety-seventh level?"

Chen Xin pondered for a moment, but he could not help but ask the question.

His father, Chen Jianjun, had spent decades struggling to advance from the ninety-sixth level to the ninety-seventh.

Now that Chen Xin had reached the ninety-sixth level himself, he could not rely on traveling across the continent to break through as his father had; he had to remain to guard the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

The appearance of Yu Yuanzhen provided Chen Xin with an entirely new path.

With Yu Yuanzhen's breakthrough method, perhaps Chen Xin could reach the ninety-seventh level in just a few years!

"That is easily done! As long as Sect Master Ning agrees to my request, I am willing to teach this method to you and Bone Douluo for free."

One of the reasons Yu Yuanzhen had revealed his aura was to pique Chen Xin's curiosity.

"Sect Master, please, you must agree to Sect Master Yu's request! With this method, Old Bone and I could take our strength to the next level!"

Upon receiving confirmation from Yu Yuanzhen, Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi with an impatient expression, his words even carrying a hint of urgency.

With Yu Yuanzhen raising the stakes and Chen Xin pressing him, Ning Fengzhi realized that he had no choice but to agree.

"Very well, Sect Master Yu! I agree to your request. From this day forward, our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect shall be allies forever!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and reached out to shake Yu Yuanzhen's hand once more, his smile appearing truly sincere this time.

"Hahaha, that is exactly what I hoped for! I look forward to a pleasant cooperation between our two Upper Three Sects!"

Yu Yuanzhen released his grip on Ning Fengzhi's hand, turned to the side, and spoke to Yu Hengqing.

"Little Qing, bring out the Tulip of Romance! I believe Sect Master Ning has been waiting impatiently to witness this historic moment of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's evolution!"

Following the order, Yu Hengqing took out a jade box and opened it to reveal a medicinal herb that Ning Fengzhi had never seen before.

"Is this the Tulip of Romance?"

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the Tulip of Romance inside the jade box, and the smile on his face became even more natural and sincere.

"Indeed. This immortal herb cannot be consumed directly. You must wrap the flower's stamen with your martial soul, use soul power to vibrate it until the essence liquefies, and then gently inhale the stamen to draw the essence into your body for refinement."

Yu Yuanzhen took the opportunity to explain the method of using the Tulip of Romance to Ning Fengzhi.

"I see. It is truly worthy of being called an immortal herb; the method of use is so unique. Uncle Bone, I must trouble you to bring Rongrong here."

Having obtained the method of consumption, Ning Fengzhi could not wait to have Gu Rong fetch Ning Rongrong.

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong raised his hand to create a spatial rift and stepped inside.

A short while later, Gu Rong appeared before Ning Fengzhi with an excited Ning Rongrong in tow.

"Daddy, is what Bone Grandpa said true? Can my Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda really evolve?"

Ning Rongrong trotted over to Ning Fengzhi, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at him, hoping for a definitive answer.

Since she was a child, Ning Rongrong had known that although the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was the world's number one support martial soul, its possessor could only ever reach the seventy-ninth level at most.

"It is true. Your Uncle Yu Yuanzhen happened upon an immortal herb called the Tulip of Romance. Once you consume it, your martial soul will be able to evolve."

Looking at the lively and adorable Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi wore a doting smile and reached out to pat her head.

"Hello, Uncle Yu! Thank you for the gift for Rongrong; I like it very much!"

Ning Rongrong turned her head curiously toward Yu Yuanzhen. Sensing her gaze, Yu Yuanzhen offered a polite smile.

"You are most welcome. Rongrong liking it is the best thanks I could receive!"

After thanking Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Rongrong ran over to Yu Hengqing's side, curiously examining the Tulip of Romance on the table while asking him questions.

"My name is Ning Rongrong, and I'm six years old! What is your name?"

"My name is Yu Hengqing."

Upon learning Yu Hengqing's name, Ning Rongrong's curiosity shifted directly from the Tulip of Romance to him.

"Oh! So you are the Third Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

"Why are you here? Logically speaking, shouldn't you be studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy right now? I was just studying at the academy myself, but I left the classroom because Bone Grandpa came to find me."

Just as Yu Hengqing was wondering how to get Ning Rongrong to be quiet, Ning Fengzhi, who had been chatting with Yu Yuanzhen, suddenly walked over.

"Rongrong, let's consume the immortal herb first! You two can chat all you want after your martial soul has evolved."

"Oh, alright~"

Having not received an answer, Ning Rongrong replied to Ning Fengzhi with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Ning Fengzhi pulled Ning Rongrong aside and carefully explained the usage of the Tulip of Romance to her.

Once she understood the method, Ning Rongrong began to use the Tulip of Romance under Ning Fengzhi's supervision.

Ning Rongrong summoned her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to wrap around the stamen, driving her soul power to vibrate eight drops of essence from it.

Seeing the essence emerge, Ning Rongrong held the Tulip of Romance to her lips with both hands and took a gentle breath, drawing the eight drops of essence into her mouth in the blink of an eye.

As the essence vanished, the Tulip of Romance withered rapidly, losing all its vitality within a few breaths.

"Rongrong, circulate your soul power and refine the medicinal energy of the Tulip of Romance with all your might."

Seeing that the herb had lost its potency, Ning Fengzhi immediately spoke up to guide Ning Rongrong in refining the energy.

Once Ning Rongrong officially began refining the Tulip of Romance, Ning Fengzhi rejoined the conversation between Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin.

Three hours later, Ning Rongrong finally finished refining the medicinal power of the Tulip of Romance and slowly opened her eyes.

"Papa, I've finished refining it!"

As soon as the refinement was successful, Ning Rongrong stood up and rushed over to Ning Fengzhi.

Watching her run toward him, Ning Fengzhi opened his arms and scooped her up.

"Our Rongrong is truly amazing, to have refined the medicinal power of the Tulip of Romance so quickly!"

"Why don't you show us your martial soul, Rongrong? Let us see if it has evolved!"

An hour earlier, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen had already finalized the specific terms of their cooperation; all that remained was to draft and announce them.

However, the announcement of these terms depended entirely on whether Ning Rongrong's martial soul could actually evolve.

If it could not evolve, the conditions Ning Fengzhi had offered would certainly not have been so generous.

"Alright, I'll summon my martial soul right now!"

Ning Rongrong jumped down from Ning Fengzhi's arms with a smile, stood in the center of the group with a giggle, and raised her hand to summon her martial soul.

A small glazed pagoda appeared in her hand, refracting beams of flowing light in every direction.

At first glance, although Ning Fengzhi sensed something was off about her martial soul, he could not quite put his finger on it.

This was because the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand looked no different from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Ning Fengzhi frowned, but he did not rush to a conclusion, instead calming his mind to observe the pagoda in her hand carefully.

One layer, two layers, three layers... six layers, seven layers!

When he reached the seventh layer, Ning Fengzhi realized he still wasn't finished—there were more layers above the seventh!

Eighth layer! Ninth layer!

"A nine-layered Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

No wonder he hadn't noticed it immediately; the change wasn't in the quality of the martial soul, but in its quantity!

"It's true, it worked! Rongrong, you will be able to possess nine spirit rings! You will become the first Title Douluo Sect Master in the history of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!"

Ning Fengzhi hugged Ning Rongrong, his emotions stirred and his excitement plain in his voice.

"Congratulations, Sect Master Ning! From this day forward, the status of the world's number one support martial soul will be beyond dispute!"

Looking at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand, Yu Yuanzhen smiled and cupped his hands to offer his congratulations to Ning Fengzhi.

"Thank you, Sect Master Yu!"
