Two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones

Hearing Lin Hao's offer, Ning Fengzhi grew even more excited. If there had been only one, he would have given it to Ning Rongrong.

But Lin Hao had other Immortal Herbs that could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve. That meant Ning Fengzhi could use them too.

"No problem!"

As soon as Ning Fengzhi spoke, Bone Douluo took him away through space. The two had likely gone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Treasury.

Only Sword Douluo remained to entertain Lin Hao and his two companions.

A minute later, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo reappeared.

Ning Fengzhi now held three items: a bracelet and two jade boxes.

"Lin Hao, here are one hundred million Gold Soul Coins in cash."

Lin Hao took the bracelet Storage Soul Tool Ning Fengzhi handed him and probed inside with his spiritual power. The densely packed Gold Soul Coins nearly blinded him.

Ning Fengzhi opened the two jade boxes and began introducing the Soul Bones inside.

One was a Poison-Attribute Soul Bone over thirty thousand years old.

"A Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, over thirty thousand years old."

The other was an Ice-Attribute Soul Bone over fifty thousand years old.

"An Iceburst Bear Right Arm Bone, over fifty thousand years old."

After introducing them, Ning Fengzhi handed both Soul Bones to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao gave them a quick look, put them into his Storage Soul Tool, then promptly handed Ning Fengzhi the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"Don't eat the flower itself. Put the rest straight into your mouth, then refine and absorb it."

With that, Lin Hao picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and had Ning Rongrong eat it on the spot.

Lin Hao approved of Ning Fengzhi's decisiveness. After all, the man had handed over one hundred million Gold Soul Coins and two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.

If Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda failed to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after she took the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would probably fight him to the death.

The moment the entire Aromatic Silk Beauty entered Ning Rongrong's stomach, her body began to change. Her Martial Soul appeared behind her.

A streak of golden light enveloped the seven-colored glow of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and a rich tulip fragrance wafted from her body.

Seeing the changes in Ning Rongrong after she swallowed the medicine, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo relaxed a little.

Time passed slowly. Three hours later, the once-strong tulip fragrance around Ning Rongrong gradually faded.

Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul shrank back into her body, and the fluctuations of her Soul Power gradually settled.

Another ten minutes passed before Ning Rongrong opened her eyes.

Throughout those three hours, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo had felt Ning Rongrong's Soul Power soaring. The moment she woke, they hurried to ask her how she felt.

"Rongrong, how does your body feel?"

Ning Rongrong stood and bounced twice.

"My body and Martial Soul both feel wonderful. I'm warm all over, and my Soul Power has reached level thirty."

Seated in his chair, Lin Hao cleared his throat.

"Why don't you summon your Martial Soul and take a look?"

Lost in how good she felt, Ning Rongrong jumped at Lin Hao's cough. Her princess temper was about to flare, but Ning Fengzhi stopped her.

"Rongrong, summon it quickly."

Hearing the urgency in Ning Fengzhi's voice, Ning Rongrong pouted but obediently summoned her Martial Soul.

She channeled her Soul Power, and a small nine-story pagoda blazing with nine-colored light suddenly appeared above her right hand.

Ning Fengzhi stared at the nine-story, nine-colored pagoda in her hand.

He reached out with a slightly trembling right hand and began to count.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It really is a nine-story Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi felt hot blood surge through him. Even his voice trembled.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It really is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Every generation of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect masters dreamed of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. And I, Ning Fengzhi, have done it!"

As he spoke, a tear fell from each eye.

Ning Rongrong put away her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"Dad, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy for me?"

Ning Fengzhi wiped the tears from his face.

"Dad's crying because he's happy!"

After composing himself, Ning Fengzhi turned back to Lin Hao.

"Sorry you had to see that, Lin Hao."

Lin Hao smiled. "I understand!"

"Lin Hao, we've completed our first trade."

"Could you bring out the other Immortal Herbs you have that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul and continue trading with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"I can!"

With that, Lin Hao took out a Ten Thousand Year Starflower and a Ten Thousand Year Starlight Grass.

"These two aren't quite Immortal Herbs. They're Supreme Spirit Medicines."

"They're called Starflower and Starlight Grass. Each took nearly ten thousand years to grow by absorbing Sun, Moon, and Starlight Power."

"They're especially suited to Star-Type and Gem-Type Martial Souls."

"By my estimate, either one could evolve your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Use them together, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul can reach the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"As for the price: one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Ning Fengzhi's heart sank at the price of the two Supreme Spirit Medicines.

Even as master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had never seen a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, let alone owned one.

Before he could bargain with Lin Hao, however, he heard the good news that followed.

"Of course, I know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may not have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"I can give you the Starlight Grass and Starflower for now. But Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo must swear by your Martial Souls that you'll obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and hand it to me within five years."

"What do you say?"

Ning Fengzhi nearly agreed on the spot. The word yes had almost reached his lips.

But he held it back.

Ning Fengzhi turned to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

"Uncle Jian! Uncle Gu!"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance. With their combined strength, bringing down a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would not be difficult.

"Very well! I agree."

"As do I."

"I, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, swear by my Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul that if I break this oath..."

"I, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, swear by my Ancient Dragon Martial Soul that if I break this oath..."

Ning Fengzhi hurried to join them.

"I, Ning Fengzhi, swear by my Martial Soul that if I break this oath..."

Seeing how readily the three had sworn by their Martial Souls, Lin Hao was delighted. After handing over the two Supreme Spirit Medicines, he pointed them toward a way forward.

"Good! Since you three have been so straightforward, I'll point you in the right direction."

"Once Sect Master Ning absorbs these two Supreme Spirit Medicines and his Martial Soul evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he'll need to obtain his eighth and ninth Soul Rings."

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are hard to find on the Douluo Continent. So look for them at sea."
