Return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Ning Fengzhi's Martial Soul Evolution?

Two days later, in front of the mountain gate.

Li Qingshan prepared to leave with Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong, while Chen Jianjun also packed his belongings and stood aside to wait.

Yu Yuanzhen personally escorted his son to the mountain gate, looked at him, and reached out to straighten his collar.

"Xiao Gang, when you're away from home, listen to your teacher's guidance on cultivation matters. And when you arrive in a new place, don't forget to write home."

Yu Xiaogang nodded seriously.

"Father, rest assured, I have remembered."

Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuanzhen patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Li Qingshan and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Your Majesty, I will continue to trouble you with Xiao Gang's needs from now on."

Li Qingshan nodded slightly and said:

"Let's return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and meet up with the other disciples. Once everything is ready, we'll take them north."

"The climate in the Far North is extremely cold, completely different from where they used to cultivate. It's a good opportunity for them to gain experience."

After hearing this, Chen Jianjun stroked his beard and laughed:

"It's been a long time since I've been to the north. This time, I'll travel with you all."

Li Qingshan smiled and agreed. After bidding farewell to Yu Yuanzhen, he led the group down the stone steps.

Yu Xiaogang looked back several times until the mountain gate was gradually obscured by the trees before turning his gaze away.

Bibi Dong walked beside him and asked softly about the recent events at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As they walked, they talked about several fellow disciples they had not yet met.

Listening to the conversation behind him, Li Qingshan began to plan his next steps.

Upon arriving at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he planned to find a quiet place to attach the seven God-bestowed Soul Rings to the Heartless Sword one by one before heading to the Far North.

A few days later, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As soon as Li Qingshan and his group stepped onto the mountain gate, they saw Ning Fengzhi leading Gu Rong to greet them.

"Teacher, you're back."

Ning Fengzhi forward and bowed, his gaze immediately falling on Bibi Dong, and he nodded with a smile.

Li Qingshan nodded slightly and entered the sect with the others.

After receiving the news, Dugu Bo and the others waited in the courtyard early on.

Flender was waving to Yu Xiaogang, but when he saw the girl beside him, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Li Qingshan smiled and introduced:

"This is Bibi Dong, who officially became my disciple a few days ago. From now on, she will be your junior sister and cultivate alongside you."

Bibi Dong stepped forward and greeted the crowd.

Dugu Bo immediately cupped his hands and smiled:

"Junior sister."

Ah Yin approached and took the girl's hand, asking if she had had a hard journey.

Seeing that no one distanced themselves from her because of her previous status, Bibi Dong, who had been somewhat reserved, gradually relaxed.

Yu Xiaogang, standing beside him, also smiled.

After a few words, Ah Yin led Bibi Dong to see their lodgings. Chen Jianjun was invited away by Chen Xin, who had come upon hearing the news, and soon only Li Qingshan, Ning Fengzhi, and the others remained in the courtyard.

After listening to the recent cultivation progress of Dugu Bo and the others, Li Qingshan examined Dugu Xin's body and confirmed that his recuperation had not been neglected, which put his mind at ease.

After everyone had left, he suddenly called out to Ning Fengzhi.

"Fengzhi, stay here for now, I have something to tell you."

Ning Fengzhi stopped and returned to the table.

Li Qingshan gestured for him to sit down and said, "The alliance between the two sects has been finalized, and Dong'er has been successfully brought back. Now, it's time to deal with your Martial Soul."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, his hand holding the teacup suddenly halting, his face filled with joy.

"Teacher, you mean... the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Li Qingshan nodded.

Ning Fengzhi's breathing unconsciously softened a little.

He had kept those words from their first meeting in mind. However, Li Qingshan had been busy lately, and although he wanted to ask for advice, he didn't want to bother him with his own affairs.

"Release your Martial Soul first, then I'll take a closer look."

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand as instructed.

Seven-colored light gathered in his palm, and an exquisite pagoda slowly emerged.

Li Qingshan did not speak immediately, but instead instructed him to activate each layer of the tower in turn, and then probed into it with his Spiritual Power to carefully observe the changes in the flow of Soul Power.

Ning Fengzhi cooperated throughout, until Li Qingshan withdrew his hand, then he asked softly, "Teacher, is there anything wrong?"

"No, your foundation is very solid." Li Qingshan nodded, then took out a jade box and placed it on the table.

As soon as the lid was opened, a Qing Ya fragrance wafted out.

Inside, Immortal Herbs, some parts of which had already been used, lay quietly. Its petals were delicate, and its stamens shimmered with a faint golden light.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted slightly, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his palm also glowed softly.

"This item is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty." Li Qingshan turned the jade box towards him and continued, "Its medicinal properties are compatible with your Martial Soul. I plan to use it as the main ingredient to refine a batch of pills, which will then be used to help your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda complete its transformation."

Ning Fengzhi looked down at the Immortal Herbs Immortal Herb before him, his fingers tightening around the teacup.

"Teacher, do you mean my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can really evolve?"

Li Qingshan nodded slightly, then looked at him seriously and said, "This time, your master will evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!

Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the Martial Soul in his palm, unable to utter a word for a moment.

The sect's ancestors left behind so many records, all seeking nothing more than to break free from that long-standing shackle. Now, that opportunity has been presented to them.

After a long while, he finally stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Then this disciple thanks you, teacher."

Li Qingshan reached out to support him and smiled:

"Now that you have become my disciple, it is my duty."

Ning Fengzhi agreed, then hesitated and asked:

"But you also need to take your senior brothers north, won't that cause a delay...?"

Li Qingshan carefully put away the jade box and said with a faint smile:

"Their experience won't be affected by these few days."

Now that you have become my disciple, I naturally need to consider your cultivation path. If there are any matters within the sect that require attention recently, please arrange them accordingly.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

That evening, in a quiet alchemy room within the sect.

Ning Fengzhi personally delivered the supplementary medicines needed by Li Qingshan, and asked Gu Rong to temporarily take care of the sect's affairs before stepping outside to wait.

Inside the alchemy room, the Xuanling Pill Cauldron slowly heated up.

After inspecting the medicinal materials, Li Qingshan first refined several auxiliary herbs one by one until all impurities in the medicinal liquid were removed before reopening the jade box containing the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

The golden stamens swayed gently in the firelight.

He composed himself and lifted the immortal Immortal Herb, placing it into the cauldron.

As the heat gradually changed, a wisp of pale golden medicinal liquid slowly extracted, and a rich, refreshing fragrance filled the entire alchemy room at that moment.
