Ning Fengzhi's Madness! Glazed Heaven! (Please Recommend, Favorite, and Vote Monthly!)

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Su Sanjia's return visit was somewhat abrupt. With only Sword Douluo currently stationed at the sect, he gave Su Sanjia a warm reception upon receiving word from the disciples.

"Good kid! It's only been a few days, yet you've changed quite a bit! Huh? Your soul power... No, you broke through to level 58?!"

Amid the usual pleasantries, Sword Douluo inadvertently sensed the fluctuations of soul power emanating from Su Sanjia. He froze for a moment before crying out in shock.

Having roamed the Douluo Continent all his life, he had never seen anyone jump directly from a four-ring Soul Ancestor to a level 58 high-ranking Soul King! What the hell was this? Twelve levels of soul power in less than a month?

"Senior Sword Douluo, I hope you've been well! As for this junior's cultivation, you'll know soon enough!"

Su Sanjia said with a smile. Then, the necklace on his chest flashed, and a strange bamboo stalk, black as iron and incomparably tough, appeared in his hand.

"What is this?"

"Thanks to your sect's care and Senior Sword Douluo's guidance, this junior has had no way to repay you. By a fortunate coincidence, I obtained this peerless immortal herb. It is called Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and it should be of some help to Senior Sword Douluo's sword cultivation! Today, I present it to you!"

Ink Jade Divine Bamboo strengthened tendons and bones and increased the body's resilience. Combined with its iron-like toughness, this immortal herb was especially suited to Sword Douluo.

The polite refusal Sword Douluo had been about to make vanished. The instant he saw the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, his expression changed. This immortal herb exuded the purest fragrance of vegetation. With his extensive knowledge, Sword Douluo recognized at once that it would bring tremendous benefits to his Seven Kill Sword martial soul. He had remained at level 96 for decades, constantly refining the soul power within him in an attempt to break through to level 97—the realm known as the crown prince among Titled Douluo. His instincts told him that as long as he absorbed this Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, reaching level 97 would be a natural outcome!

This was a lavish gift, so lavish that it was impossible to refuse.

Yet Sword Douluo did not accept it immediately. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly waved his right hand, and an exquisite tea set appeared on the table. He personally poured Su Sanjia a cup of tea.

"You're certainly willing to part with such a generous gift, Sanjia! In that case, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot be stingy either!"

"Someone, send word! Have the Sect Master return immediately!"

The fragrance of tea filled the air as the two sat drinking. Su Sanjia was in no hurry. Before long, the space not far from them rippled, a crack appeared, and Bone Douluo's large face poked through first.

"You old sword freak, what is it? Huh? Su Sanjia, why are you here, brat?"

Bone Douluo stepped out through the spatial gate, with Ning Fengzhi following close behind. Both were full of doubt. The communication method used by the sect disciples just now was the highest-level emergency signal of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one reserved for matters of utmost urgency unless they concerned the entire sect.

But upon seeing Su Sanjia, Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred. Could it be that this boy had changed his mind and wanted to join them? If so, he was certainly worth such urgency!

Yet the next moment, both men's attention was drawn to the extraordinary Ink Jade Divine Bamboo on the tea table.

"Gasp! Such pure spiritual energy of vegetation!"

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both sucked in a sharp breath.

"This is called Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. Sanjia gave it to me!"

Sword Douluo briefly recounted what had happened. Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance, and both saw burning excitement deep in the other's eyes.

Level 97!

That was level 97!

Though level 97 was only one level above 96, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth! A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with a level 97 Titled Douluo would absolutely be qualified to contend with the present-day Haotian Sect for the title of the world's number one sect!

This would forcibly raise the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's overall strength by an entire tier!

"Thanks to your sect's care, this junior has also prepared gifts for Uncle Ning and Senior Bone Douluo!"

There were two more heavenly treasures, though neither could compare in quality to the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had one of them in stock, but theirs were only a few hundred years old. The one Su Sanjia had brought out was a thousand years old, exceedingly rare and perfectly suited to Bone Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze, however, remained fixed on the other heavenly treasure from beginning to end.

The plant was only half a foot tall. Its five translucent white petals were streaked with pale pink patterns, while a wisp of faint multicolored spiritual light condensed at its center. Its floral fragrance was elegant and restrained, and fine, glazed-colored soul power naturally lingered around its leaves and petals.

"Condensed Radiant Exquisite Zhi!"

Ning Fengzhi cried out in shock.

"Uncle Ning recognizes it?"

Su Sanjia was startled.

"Of course I recognize it! Sanjia, Sanjia, you've truly brought Uncle Ning a tremendous gift! This is a miraculous treasure recorded in the ancient texts of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! A thousand years ago, a genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect consumed one, and their martial soul evolved into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! This is an opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul to evolve! I, Ning Fengzhi, have searched for half my life without finding even the slightest trace of it..."

Ning Fengzhi's face was full of emotion as he stepped forward and gently stroked the petals of the Condensed Radiant Exquisite Zhi.

"Legend says this plant only grows in places rich with spiritual energy and takes three thousand years to mature. To our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it is no less valuable than a top-grade immortal herb!"

Ning Fengzhi grabbed Su Sanjia's hand, his face filled with longing.

"Sanjia, do you have any more treasures like this? Uncle is willing to purchase them for twenty million gold soul coins apiece!"

Twenty million gold soul coins! That was equivalent to three or four years of tax revenue for the Heaven Dou Empire! Even for the incomparably wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was an astronomical sum.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Ning. I only obtained it by chance myself. This is the only one!"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed with slight regret. At that moment, a strand of soul power entered his ear.

Fengzhi, with so many heavenly treasures, that boy may have more on him! Should we...

Bone Douluo's voice entered Ning Fengzhi's ear. The latter's expression grew hesitant, but Sword Douluo beside him poured a cup of tea and set it before Ning Fengzhi. The cup was nearly full, and a little tea spilled over with Sword Douluo's movement.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo, whose gaze remained calm.

Uncle Bone, Sanjia has rendered a service to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Do not mention this again!

Ning Fengzhi refused. As a shrewd businessman, he knew well how to maximize profit.

"Sanjia, such gifts are far too precious, but Uncle truly cannot refuse them. On behalf of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I thank you!"

Ning Fengzhi bowed to Su Sanjia, who hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. In truth, Su Sanjia knew that his actions would inevitably invite covetous eyes, but so what? With his speed, neither Sword Douluo, who excelled in killing, nor Bone Douluo, who excelled in defense, could possibly outrun him—not even if Bone Douluo used his spatial power.

"You're too courteous, Uncle Ning!"

Ning Fengzhi rose to his feet. Looking at the smiling Su Sanjia before him, he took a token from his robe.

The token appeared to be forged from some unusual metal. It bore the image of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, gleaming with flowing colors. One look was enough to tell that it was extraordinary.

"Sanjia, this is the Honorary Elder Token of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! With this token, you may summon Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples within a radius of twenty li! You may also send three emergency messages, which I, Uncle Sword, and Uncle Bone will all be able to sense!"

In other words, this token was not merely an honorary title. Su Sanjia now possessed the authority to summon disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. More importantly, he would have the protection of the sect's two Titled Douluo!

It was a weighty gift of thanks, and Su Sanjia accepted it. But it was not over yet.

This time, Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment. But when he turned to look at Sword Douluo and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo before him, he took a deep breath and added,

"Sanjia, have you ever heard of Glazed Heaven?"
