Spirit City, Worship Hall!
Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu sat alone in the highest seat, behind him stood a huge statue of the Six-Winged Angel.
To the left and right sat the other several offerings!
Snake Lance Douluo lowered his head, clearly articulating all the intelligence regarding Luofan as well as the results of the investigation to Qian Daoliu.
"A person born from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Big Brother, although this fellow named Luofan has already left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he still possesses the bloodline of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after all. We must never harbor a tiger to cause calamity!"
As Snake Lance Douluo finished speaking, Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to speak up, stating his own attitude.
Those who are not of our race must surely have different hearts!
In Golden Crocodile Douluo's view, people from other sects could submit and be taken in as subordinates, but they could never be trusted with one's heart!
"Heh, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, although hailed as the number one auxiliary martial soul in the world, because of innate limitations, can only have seven soul rings. That Ning Fengzhi dreams of letting his martial soul evolve into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, yet who would have thought that the little fellow who left the sect actually achieved his wish!"
Third Offering Azure Luan Douluo chuckled as he spoke.
Although he did not state his position, his words at least reminded everyone of one most important point: namely, that Ning Fengzhi would never use Luofan to set up any scheme.
After all, how could he bear to use a disciple whose martial soul evolved into the Nine-Story Pagoda to set a trap?
"Soul rings, the moment they are absorbed, their age is already predetermined. Yet this fellow named Luofan can actually elevate a hundred-year soul ring to a thousand-year level—how on earth did he manage to do that?"
Fourth Offering Mighty Lion Douluo's focus remained primarily on Luofan's soul ring situation!
You say martial soul evolution? That sort of thing happened from time to time on the mainland and could hardly be considered a rarity!
Yet, you claim a soul ring's age can still increase?
This was truly the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
"Big Brother, according to what Xiao Xue said, this Luofan is an existence watched over by deities. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Light Feather Douluo did not express his own opinion, instead looking directly at Qian Daoliu sitting in the chief seat.
When it came to deities, who had the most right to speak? Naturally, it was Qian Daoliu!
At the same time, everyone in the Worship Hall looked at Qian Daoliu!
"Making the age of a soul ring increase—this matter did indeed have records once in the ancient texts of Spirit Hall. It is truly a power possessed only by deities!"
Faced with the curious and inquiring gazes of everyone in the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu spoke.
Having said this, Qian Daoliu paused slightly, for there was actually half a sentence he had not spoken aloud.
Namely, the increases in soul ring age recorded in the ancient texts were all measured in units of ten thousand years.
That is to say, whether it was a hundred-year soul ring or a thousand-year soul ring, they could all be uniformly elevated to the level of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Like Luofan, raising it only to the thousand-year soul ring level gave one a somewhat petty feel.
However, Qian Daoliu did not voice this doubt, continuing instead: "Therefore, Xiao Xue is convinced that Luofan is an existence watched over by deities. In this regard, she is not wrong!"
"As for Second Brother's consideration, it is indeed reasonable!"
"However, there is one point he failed to consider!"
As he reached the end of his words, Qian Daoliu looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Big Brother, please speak!" Although Golden Crocodile Douluo gave off a boundless, domineering feel, in front of Qian Daoliu, he still held a respect that stemmed from his very bones.
"First, judging from the intelligence, all of Luofan's family members are gone. For a six- or seven-year-old child, cultivating a bond is best done now!"
"Second, even if this Luofan still harbors affection for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as an existence with a high probability of becoming a deity in the future, when the time comes to choose between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as long as he chooses to remain neutral and help neither side, that will be a beneficial matter for our Spirit Hall!"
"Therefore, my decision is to follow Xiao Xue's request and spare no effort to win over this child!"
Qian Daoliu spoke, analyzing the situation!
To put it briefly in one sentence: if Luofan became utterly devoted to Spirit Hall, then Spirit Hall would strike it rich!
Yet even taking a step back, as long as he did not become an enemy of Spirit Hall in the future, it would still not be a loss!
He still trusted his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, to handle the relationship with a child properly.
"Big Brother's words are reasonable. It was my vision that was narrow!" After pondering for a moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.
As for the other several offerings, they also nodded one after another.
Hum~
Another month or so passed. Luofan sat cross-legged in meditation, bit by bit accumulating his soul power, when suddenly, his soul power fluctuated completely out of control!
Luofan opened his eyes, a look of joy welling up within them.
His soul power level had broken through once more, reaching the 15th-rank mark!
Counting the days, it had already been three months since he acquired his soul ring.
Although the soul ring of his Exquisite Pagoda was still a purple thousand-year soul ring, its age had already exceeded 2,500 years, hadn't it?
In just over ten more months, he reckoned his soul ring could rise to the ten-thousand-year level!
Luofan was quite curious: once it reached the ten-thousand-year soul ring level, what kind of feedback would he receive in return?
Of course, before that, barring any accidents, he should also reach the 20th rank and acquire his second soul ring, right?
By then, the ages of both his soul rings would grow together!
Most importantly, he would be able to obtain another golden entry once again!
The Peerless Prodigy and Soul Ring Growth entries worked far too well together when paired, and Luofan was quite looking forward to it. He wondered what kind of good thing he would obtain for his third golden entry!
To be honest, rolling either the God-tier Martial Soul or Soul Bone Master entry anew would be quite wonderful!
His Nine-Story Golden Exquisite Pagoda, although a top-tier martial soul, still seemed to fall a bit short in quality if one called it a god-tier martial soul.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just as Luofan was inwardly looking forward to the future, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The maid spoke from outside: "Young Master Luofan, His Highness is asking for you!"
"Coming!" Luofan acknowledged, pushing down his wandering thoughts as he stood up and walked outside.
Arriving at the main hall, Xue Qinghe was indeed sitting there with a smile hanging on his face.
"Brother Xue, over this past month, the situation with the Heaven Dou Daily has been getting better and better, and Brother, your reputation lately has also been improving more and more!" Seeing the smile at the corner of Xue Qinghe's mouth, Luofan offered his congratulations.
"For all of this, I must thank you, younger brother Fan, for your idea of the newspaper!" Hearing Luofan's congratulations, the curve of Xue Qinghe's mouth grew even wider!
Only by truly grasping the power of the newspaper and acquiring a mouthpiece did Xue Qinghe deeply realize what kind of indescribable help occupying the moral high ground of public opinion would be for himself, and even for his future control over Spirit Hall.
With a slight stir of his thoughts, Xue Qinghe looked at Luofan with a gentle expression while raising his hand to retrieve an item from his storage soul tool!
"Younger brother Fan, you've been a huge help to me this time. I have a head soul bone here; consider it Brother's token of gratitude to you!"
Xue Qinghe delivered the head soul bone in his hand right before Luofan.
