God King Tang San sat down opposite Ning Fengzhi, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip slowly.
Ning Fengzhi didn't urge him, but just smiled and watched him. Chen Xin sat to the side, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Tang San. Flender, Yu Xiaogang and the others sat in the back, equally curious about what Tang San was going to offer in a trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After setting down his teacup, God King Tang San finally spoke, " Sect Master Ning, your sect's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, passed down for many years, is known as the number one support Martial Soul in the world, with support abilities unparalleled across the continent. Unfortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only has seven levels. Due to the limitations of the Martial Soul itself, no matter how outstanding one's cultivation talent is, one can never break through to level seventy-nine in their lifetime. I imagine this problem has been troubling your sect for many years, hasn't it?"
Ning Fengzhi remained expressionless and also picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Indeed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inability to break through to the Soul Saint realm is a problem that our sect has sought to solve throughout the ages. Judging from your words, young friend, do you perhaps have a way to break this limitation?"
God King Tang San nodded confidently. "That's right, I do know a way to allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to break through its original limitations and even evolve into a more powerful Martial Soul. However, to achieve this, I still need the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Both Flender and Yu Xiaogang were somewhat surprised to hear this.
Having studied Martial Soul for many years, Yu Xiaogang naturally knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's flaws. These were inherent limitations of the Martial Soul itself, something even the successive sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School couldn't overcome. How could Tang San claim he could?
Ning Fengzhi, however, did not appear overly excited. He simply put down his teacup and asked with interest, "Oh? Young friend, why don't you tell me? If you can truly solve the problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, as long as it's within the capabilities of my sect, I'm naturally willing to lend a hand."
This is exactly what God King Tang San was waiting for.
" Sect Master Ning, have you ever heard of celestial medicinal herbs?"
"Of course I've heard of it." Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Some ancient books record that certain extremely precious herbs can improve Soul Master's physique and even affect their Martial Soul. However, these herbs are very rare, and many have long since disappeared."
"Indeed." God King Tang San smiled slightly. "Deep within the Sunset Forest lies a treasure land called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. There, extremely special spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and a large number of precious medicinal herbs grow, including immortal herbs that can help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve."
Following his words, Ning Fengzhi asked, "What kind of immortal item is it?"
" Aromatic Silk Beauty."
God King Tang San put down his teacup and continued, "This Immortal Herb grows by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and can improve the foundation of Soul Master's Martial Soul. It is especially suitable for treasure-type Martial Soul like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. After consuming it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will have the opportunity to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the original level 79 restriction will naturally no longer exist."
He looked at Ning Fengzhi, waiting for the other's reaction.
Ke Ning Fengzhi simply nodded slightly, her face still bearing a gentle smile.
"It does indeed sound like a rare treasure. But since you know where the Aromatic Silk Beauty grows, why don't you just pick it directly instead of seeking help from my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on God King Tang San's face vanished instantly.
" Sect Master Ning, you may not know this, but I should have discovered that treasure land first. Unexpectedly, the Evil Spirit Hall beat me to it, directly claiming the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as their territory, and even assigning people to guard it strictly, not allowing outsiders to enter!"
The thought of being chased all over the mountain by drones made God King Tang San grit his teeth.
"I tried to get in there before, but I was hunted down by the Spirit Hall. They had a large number of people and a lot of strange weapons, so I couldn't get close to those herbs at all."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Chen Xin, then asked, "So, young friend, you mean you hope my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School will help you reclaim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from the Spirit Hall?"
"Exactly!"
God King Tang San nodded immediately.
" The Upper Three Sects have a long-standing conflict with the Spirit Hall. Now that the Spirit Hall is constantly expanding its power, Sect Master Ning is probably unwilling to see them continue to grow stronger. As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to help me reclaim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I can take out the Aromatic Silk Beauty and allow your sect's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to complete its evolution."
Ning Fengzhi did not immediately agree, but instead asked, "If we intervene, a conflict with the Spirit Hall is inevitable. You should know that such a matter cannot be decided with just a few words."
God King Tang San had long anticipated that Ning Fengzhi would have some concerns.
" Sect Master Ning, rest assured, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well not only the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but also many other precious medicinal herbs. As long as we can reclaim that treasure land, I am willing to offer a portion of it as a token of my gratitude. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, this is definitely a worthwhile deal."
After saying that, he picked up his teacup, waiting for Ning Fengzhi to respond.
Ning Fengzhi didn't rush to speak, but instead gently tapped the table, pretending to be seriously considering it.
Ning Rongrong, sitting behind her father, finally couldn't sit still any longer when she heard this.
After all that talk, Tang San was actually after the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Her Martial Soul had already evolved, so why would she need the Aromatic Silk Beauty?
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Ning Fengzhi gave her a look, signaling her to remain silent for the time being.
God King Tang San did not notice the subtle actions of the father and daughter.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi seemed to be interested, he decided to add fuel to the fire.
" Sect Master Ning, you can think about this carefully. The limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda have troubled your sect for hundreds of years. If you can evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, your sect will have the opportunity to cultivate Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo- level support-type Soul Master, in the future."
He then looked at Ning Rongrong and continued, "Especially Rongrong, she is exceptionally talented. If she takes the Aromatic Silk Beauty and her Martial Soul evolves, her future achievements will be limitless. Whether Sect Master Ning takes it himself or Rongrong takes it, it will bring great benefits to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
After God King Tang San finished speaking, a confident smile returned to his face.
In his Remembrance, Ning Fengzhi had always wanted to solve the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Now that he had presented this opportunity to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi had no reason to refuse.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to intervene, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will have a chance to fall back into our hands.
At that time, he will naturally distribute those Immortal Herb himself.
I must keep the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot for myself. My physical foundation in this life is too weak, so I'll use these two immortal Immortal Herb to polish it up. I can't waste the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew either, as it can further enhance the power of the Purple Demon Eye after I consume it.
As for the other Immortal Herb, a few suitable for Xiao Wu can be selected and left for her. Once his strength is restored, he can then find a way to seek the Sea God Inheritance and reclaim his position as God King.
God King Tang San became increasingly satisfied with what he thought about it, and even began to consider how to deal with the Spirit Hall in the future.
However, just as he was about to speak again to persuade Ning Fengzhi, two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
One came from Oscar behind him, and the other from the depths of his consciousness.
"But Rongrong already has the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, doesn't she?"
God King Tang San's hand, which was holding a teacup, suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned his head to look at Oscar, who had just spoken, his brows furrowed tightly.
"What did you say?"
Oscar was taken aback. "Didn't you know that Rongrong's Martial Soul was already the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
God King Tang San's head buzzed.
At the same time, Tang San, deep within his consciousness, couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Damn it, what are you doing! The incredible stroke of luck you're talking about is making Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
God King Tang San immediately asked in his mind, "What does that mean?"
" Rongrong's Martial Soul has already evolved! We all know this, so why did you come to talk to Sect Master Ning about a deal without even asking me?"
The smile on God King Tang San's face froze completely.
In his Remembrance, Ning Rongrong clearly only managed to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after consuming the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
But in this life, he never obtained that immortal Immortal Herb, so how could Ning Rongrong have completed her evolution ahead of schedule?
Unbeknownst to him, the Aromatic Silk Beauty in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had long been picked by Lin Yuan and given to Ning Rongrong to consume.
Flender finally couldn't help but speak up, " Little San, what's wrong with you today? You've fought together for so long, how could you not know what Rongrong's Martial Soul is like? Why are you using this to negotiate with Sect Master Ning?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned as well. " Little San, Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is no secret. Have you been too badly injured these past few days and forgotten everything from before?"
God King Tang San did not answer, but stared intently at Ning Rongrong.
" Rongrong, is your Martial Soul really already the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Rongrong looked at him strangely. "Third Brother, don't you know? My Martial Soul has already evolved. Didn't you see it before?"
After speaking, she raised her right hand, and nine-colored light appeared, revealing a crystal-clear pagoda in her palm. The dazzling light flowed slowly along the pagoda, which had nine stories from bottom to top.
God King Tang San suddenly stood up, staring intently at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's palm.
It really is Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
"How is this possible..." he muttered to himself, "You clearly didn't get the Aromatic Silk Beauty from me, so how could you already..."
Ning Rongrong put away her Martial Soul and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Third Brother, what's wrong with you today? How could you forget about this?"
God King Tang San did not answer.
His mind is now filled with questions.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty was supposed to be retrieved by me from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and then given to Ning Rongrong. But now, before the Immortal Herb has even reached my hands, Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul has already completed its evolution.
Moreover, judging from what Flender and the others said, this had already happened a long time ago.
"That's impossible!"
God King Tang San clenched his fists instinctively.
Flender and the others looked at Tang San with strange expressions. Tang San clearly knew that Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had long since evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but now he seemed to be hearing about it for the first time.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, about to ask Tang San what was going on, when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Of course he doesn't know."
Everyone turned their heads and saw the door being pushed open, and Lin Yuan walking in from outside.
" Lin Yuan?!" God King Tang San suddenly stood up, his expression changing instantly.
Lin Yuan ignored his exclamation, looked at Tang San in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Because he is no longer the same Tang San."
"Don't you think so, Tang San of the future?"
God King Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
Lin Yuan's smile deepened.
"It might even be..."
"God, King, Tang, Three!"
