Nine Treasures as the Stake

Three days later.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Lin Yuan walked up the mountain path and had just stepped into the sect's main hall when he saw Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong already waiting for him.

Chen Xin stood holding his sword.

"You finally made it, kid."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.

"I will not go back on my promise to Senior Sword Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi gestured for him to sit down, without any further pleasantries.

"Lin Yuan, Uncle Jian has told me everything that happened in Heaven Dou City."

"I just want to know."

"What exactly is that deer?"

"Abominations of Abundance."

Lin Yuan's answer was very direct.

Ning Fengzhi frowned.

"Abundance?"

"This can be understood as a pursuit of the perpetuation of life."

Lin Yuan looked at the three of them.

"It manifests as blessing, healing, and prolonging life. Wounds can heal, aging can be slowed, and even those on the verge of death may be brought back to life."

Gu Rong snorted coldly.

"It doesn't sound like anything bad."

"That's the problem."

Lin Yuan said calmly:

"The being that bestows Abundance power never hesitates to bestow its blessings."

"He gives life, but He does not decide for the recipient when to stop."

The hall fell silent.

"After the wound heals, the flesh continues to grow."

"Even with extended lifespan, life continues to proliferate."

"Until the body loses control, consciousness becomes distorted, and ultimately it transforms into a monster that only knows how to grow, devour, and reproduce."

Lin Yuan paused.

"This kind of thing is called— the Abominations of Abundance."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze darkened.

He thought of Ning Qianshan.

Those branches that grew from flesh and blood.

That's exactly right.

What about the Hunt?

Chen Xin spoke.

Lin Yuan looked up.

There is no room for reconciliation between the Hunt and Abundance.

"One of the purposes of the Hunt is to hunt down the Abundance."

"Where do Abominations of Abundance appear?"

"The Hunt will follow them wherever they go."

"A fight to the death."

The image of that arrow flying above Heaven Dou City immediately flashed into Chen Xin's mind.

Ebon Deer clearly possesses an almost terrifying regenerative ability.

But in the face of that arrow—

Recovery is pointless.

Because that wasn't meant to injure it.

Rather, it was to kill it.

Ning Fengzhi voice:

"So, Hall of Relief's medicine is utilizing the power of Abundance?"

"Right."

"A small amount of medicine can heal illnesses and injuries, which is why they can quickly win people's hearts."

"However, if taken long-term, its Abundance power will gradually invade the body."

Lin Yuan looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Ning Qianshan is an example."

Ning Fengzhi did not refute.

After a moment, he asked:

"And what about the phantom behind you?"

"I can't say."

Lin Yuan answered decisively.

Gu Rong raised an eyebrow.

Chen Xin waved his hand.

Everyone has secrets.

Ning Fengzhi did not press the matter further.

It is enough to confirm that Lin Yuan stands in Abundance to that power.

"The incident at Ning Qianshan was due to an oversight within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi said slowly:

"I acknowledge the favor the Spirit Hall did for us by issuing an early warning."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Sect Master Ning."

"I'm not here today to ask for favors."

"So what are you here for?"

"Let's discuss cooperation."

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became subtle.

Lin Yuan got straight to the point.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall have ceased hostilities."

Both sides shared intelligence regarding the Medicine King Holy Church and Abundance.

"If another Abominations of Abundance appears, both sides will act together."

"Apart from that, the Spirit Hall will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi silent for a moment.

"Are you asking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to side with the Spirit Hall?"

"No."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"What I want is for us to not draw our knives on each other."

"Cooperate."

"It's not submission."

Ning Fengzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"The Medicine King Holy Church alone is not enough for me to gamble the future of the entire sect."

"I know."

Lin Yuan:

"So I prepared my chips."

Just then...

A head suddenly peeked out from behind the side door.

A young girl had clearly been eavesdropping for quite some time.

Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened slightly.

"Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she had no choice but to come out.

"Dad."

She glanced at Lin Yuan.

"Is he the one Grandpa Jian was talking about, the one who shot that big deer to death with one arrow?"

Chen Xin's lips twitched.

"I never mentioned any large deer."

"Pretty much."

Ning Rongrong spoke with righteous indignation.

Lin Yuan glanced at her.

Suddenly he said:

"It's good that she stays."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze sharpened.

"Is it related to Rongrong?"

"It's related to the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Lin Yuan looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type Tool Martial Soul on the continent."

Unfortunately, there is a flaw.

The hall fell silent.

Lin Yuan held up seven fingers.

"Seventh floor."

"Seven Rings."

"Soul Master the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can never break through level 79 in their lifetime."

The smile on Ning Fengzhi's face vanished completely.

The Gu Rong also squinted its eyes.

This is one of the Ning family's deepest pains.

"What if I could solve it?"

Boom!

Ning Fengzhi's Soul Power trembled slightly.

"What did you say?"

"A Immortal Herb."

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

Lin Yuan said, word by word:

"It can enable the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to complete a Martial Soul Evolution."

The Gu Rong took a step forward.

To what extent has it evolved?

Lin Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Nine floors."

Ning Rongrong was taken aback.

The next moment, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Nine floors?!"

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

These five words fell.

The entire hall fell completely silent.

Nine Treasures!

This means that the seventy-nine shackles that have trapped the Ning family for hundreds of years will be broken.

This means that Soul Master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can step into the Soul Douluo.

even--

Titled Douluo!

What does it mean to be a Titled Douluo with nine rings of support-type abilities?

No one knows this better than Ning Fengzhi.

You possess this Immortal Herb?

I know where to find it.

"Can you get it?"

"Able."

Lin Yuan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Ning Fengzhi stared intently at him.

for a long time.

He then slowly asked:

"Condition."

"Those just now."

Lin Yuan:

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must not proactively antagonize the Spirit Hall."

"The two sides have established a formal cooperation."

"Let's work together to eradicate the Medicine King Holy Church."

"If any more Abominations of Abundance appear in the future, we will join forces to deal with them."

Ning Fengzhi countered with a question:

"What if the Spirit Hall attacks the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School first?"

The agreement is null and void.

"Good."

Ning Fengzhi stood up immediately.

Gu Rong was startled.

"Charm."

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to stop him.

He saw it very clearly.

This is no ordinary Immortal Herb.

This is an insurmountable barrier that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been unable to cross for hundreds of years.

If the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really appears--

What the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect obtains will be a true future.

Ning Fengzhi walked up to Lin Yuan.

"In the name of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"As long as the Spirit Hall doesn't take the initiative to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will then not become enemies with the Spirit Hall."

"The Medicine King Holy Church and the Matter of Abundance."

"Both sides will advance or retreat together."

Lin Yuan stood up.

Two hands clasped together.

The deal is done.

beside.

Ning Rongrong had been holding back for a long time.

I finally couldn't resist.

"That..."

Everyone looked at her.

Ning Rongrong blinked.

Where is my Aromatic Silk Beauty?

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Chen Xin couldn't help but laugh.

The Gu Rong burst into laughter.

Lin Yuan thought about it seriously for a moment.

"Not now."

Ning Rongrong's expectant expression froze instantly.

"No?!"

I only said I knew where it was.

Lin Yuan turned and walked out of the hall.

Ning Rongrong realized what was happening and immediately stomped her foot in anger.

"Lin Yuan!"

"You come back here!"

Lin Yuan didn't turn his head.

"I'll talk about it once I get it."

Behind me.

Ning Rongrong's furious voice echoed throughout the hall.

Ning Fengzhi, however, did not laugh.

He gazed in the direction Lin Yuan had left, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

A Immortal Herb.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall agreed to a ceasefire and cooperation.

On the surface, it appears that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has changed its stance.

But what if the seven treasures could truly transform into nine treasures?

This transaction.

Who really benefits?

It's really hard to say.
