A Twenty-Five Thousand Year Soul Bone! Qian Renxue Spares No Expense to Win Over

Gu Feng gently opened the wooden box, and resting on the silk inside was a relatively intact cyan Soul Bone.

The surface of the Soul Bone emitted a cyan glow, and cyan patterns flowed across it, brimming with the aura of the wind element.

Ning Rongrong looked at the contents of the box and froze on the spot.

This... this is actually a Soul Bone?

Pointing at the Soul Bone in the box in utter shock, she turned her head to look at Gu Feng.

"Big Brother Feng! The Crown Prince actually sent you a Soul Bone?"

Although Ning Rongrong came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and was even its Young Sect Master, she was well aware of the preciousness of Soul Bones.

A Soul Master could normally absorb six Soul Bones, which were the Head Soul Bone, the Trunk Soul Bone, and the Limb Soul Bones.

Yet Soul Bones were exceptionally rare, and finding one whose attributes matched one's own was even scarcer.

Even the sect-protecting Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong's Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather, did not possess a full set of Soul Bones.

Of course, this was largely because Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong had never encountered Soul Bones of suitable age whose attributes matched their own.

As for the Soul Bone before them, it was clearly a wind-attribute Soul Bone, which was a very high compatibility with Gu Feng's attributes. Not only that, but the passive Soul Power it emitted was definitely not of thousand-year cultivation!

Gu Feng was equally shocked as he looked at this Soul Bone, having absorbed a nineteen-thousand-year Soul Ring before.

And the heavy Soul Power on the Soul Bone before him was clearly from a Soul Bone of a similar age, and a wind attribute at that!

Gu Feng had not expected Qian Renxue to be willing to spend such a fortune. One had to know that in the original work, when Ghost Douluo was slain by Tang San, only a single Soul Bone dropped from his body.

And after Chrysanthemum Douluo died, not a single Soul Bone dropped at all.

This sufficiently demonstrated just how precious Soul Bones were.

It was only a pity that the age of this Soul Bone was a bit low, otherwise Gu Feng would have directly absorbed this wind-attribute Soul Bone.

Yet if he obtained a divine inheritance in the future, perhaps he could raise the age of the Soul Bone through god trials, making the age of the Soul Bone no longer an issue.

Still, this gift was too valuable; it was best to discuss it with Ning Fengzhi first.

Thinking this, Gu Feng first closed the wooden box and put it away inside his Soul Guide Ring.

Immediately after, he held Ning Rongrong's hand.

"Rongrong, let's go find Uncle Ning."

Looking at Gu Feng, Ning Rongrong's pretty eyes were filled with confusion.

"Big Brother Feng, this is a ten-thousand-year wind-attribute Soul Bone, and it fits you so well. Aren't you going to absorb the Soul Bone first before anything else?"

Gu Feng shook his head, gently pulling Ning Rongrong along by his side.

"Rongrong, this Soul Bone was a gift from the Crown Prince. Accepting it is equivalent to owing the Crown Prince a favor, so I plan to go hear the opinions of Uncle Ning and Sword Grandfather."

Ning Rongrong felt that made a lot of sense. Although Big Brother Feng had accepted the Crown Prince's gift just now, that was because Big Brother Feng did not know what the gift actually was.

If Big Brother Feng had known beforehand that inside was a top-grade Soul Bone approaching twenty thousand years, then Big Brother Feng might not have accepted the Crown Prince's gift.

Gu Feng brought Ning Rongrong with him, and after leaving the academy, they walked briskly to a glittering and luxurious hotel.

Inside the hotel, a waiter led the two of them to a VIP private room. Inside the room, Ning Fengzhi was sitting and reviewing recent accounts.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was standing by the window.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Gu Feng pushed open the door and entered, with Ning Rongrong shouting toward the room,

"Dad! Sword Grandfather!"

The gazes of both Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were instantly captured by Ning Rongrong's voice.

Looking at Ning Rongrong and Gu Feng, Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile,

"Rongrong, are you rested up already?"

Gu Feng also stepped forward at this moment to greet Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

"Uncle Ning, Sword Grandfather."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, signaling for Gu Feng to sit down nearby.

As for Ning Rongrong, she very perceptively poured a cup of tea for Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Feng, and herself each.

After pouring the tea, Ning Rongrong finally spoke.

"Dad, Big Brother Feng and I came because of the gift sent by the Crown Prince."

A puzzled look appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. Hearing Ning Rongrong speak, he actually became curious about the gift sent by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

"Little Feng, could the gift given to you by the Crown Prince be extremely precious?"

Gu Feng nodded earnestly.

"Uncle Ning, the gift the Crown Prince gave me is a Soul Bone, and its age is around twenty thousand years."

"What!" Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin spoke in unison, exceedingly shocked.

Seeing the reactions of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Gu Feng took the Soul Bone out from the Soul Guide Ring and presented it for Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi to see.

Looking at the Soul Bone before him, Ning Fengzhi could naturally discern the exact age of this Soul Bone with his level of discernment.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Fengzhi spoke in a somewhat incredulous tone,

"I truly didn't expect Qinghe to make such a generous gesture. If I'm not mistaken, this is a twenty-five-thousand-year wind-attribute Left Arm Bone!"

Hearing this, Gu Feng and Ning Rongrong were even more shocked. Gu Feng had not expected the age of this Soul Bone to exceed twenty thousand years; a Soul Bone like this was indeed a rare find.

As if seeing through Gu Feng's confusion, Ning Fengzhi spoke to explain it to him,

"Little Feng, the reason you felt it was only twenty thousand years is because this Soul Bone has been stored for too long, causing the Soul Power on its surface to slowly dissipate, leading to an error in your perception."

Gu Feng slowly nodded. So that was how it was, no wonder he hadn't been able to tell.

Chen Xin looked at the twenty-five-thousand-year Soul Bone before him, feeling quite astonished in his heart as well. A twenty-five-thousand-year wind-attribute Soul Bone was truly uncommon.

Ning Fengzhi gazed at the Soul Bone in front of him and let out a slight sigh.

Originally, the sect had prepared to find a mental-attribute head bone of over fifty thousand years for Gu Feng.

As for the limb Soul Bones, although higher age was better, compatibility also had to be considered.

This twenty-five-thousand-year wind-attribute Soul Bone before them had a high age, and its attributes were extremely compatible with Gu Feng. Its rarity surpassed even attribute-free Soul Bones of forty or fifty thousand years.

Ning Fengzhi had not expected that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe actually possessed a Soul Bone of such a high age.

Nor had he expected Xue Qinghe to have such boldness, directly taking out a treasure like this to gift to Gu Feng.

Yet! Gu Feng was worth it!

Looking at Ning Fengzhi, Gu Feng asked the question on his mind.

"Uncle Ning, what kind of person do you think Crown Prince Xue Qinghe really is?"

Hearing this question, Ning Fengzhi was startled for a moment.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke.

"Xue Qinghe is my disciple, and has been studying under me for several years now."

"In the imperial court, he does things with a sense of proportion, treats others with great humility, and respects the talented."

"Whether it is the civil and military officials in the court or the commoners in and around Heaven Dou City, their evaluations of Xue Qinghe are very high."

Saying this, Ning Fengzhi paused.

"However, Xue Qinghe is definitely not a simple person. Judging him purely from the aspect of the succession struggle, one can tell he is a person with profound schemes and methods."

Gu Feng nodded along. Qian Renxue was indeed a person with great boldness and methods.

In the original work, she was willing to hand Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo over to Tang San just to win Tang San over; she was truly that bold.

As for her methods, being able to refrain from cultivating for so many years in order to execute this undercover plan to usurp the country meant she indeed had methods.

Looking at Gu Feng, Ning Fengzhi continued.

"Little Feng, today Xue Qinghe took the initiative to ask me if he could win you over. He is my disciple, and you are the person Rongrong has chosen, the future pillar that will hold up the heavens for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"In my view, if the two of you can forge a deep friendship, it will be a good thing for the development of the sect and for yourself alike in the future!"

"Emperor Xue Ye is advanced in years and his body is growing weaker by the day, and the only imperial prince on the throne is the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, who only knows how to indulge in pleasure all day. Xue Qinghe's position is very secure."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi looked at Gu Feng, his tone suddenly turning soft.

"Of course, this is just me considering things from the perspective of the sect. As for how you will get along with Xue Qinghe, Uncle Ning will not interfere, and will always support you!"

Ning Fengzhi had spoken very thoroughly and also showed great respect for Gu Feng.

Hearing this, Gu Feng nodded and said,

"Uncle Ning, I understand!"

At this moment, Chen Xin also spoke.

"Little Feng, do whatever you want to do. Just follow your own thoughts; no matter what happens, Old Bone and I will support you!"
