The Most Visionary Sect Master in the History of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Ning Liu was slightly stunned.

Why was it a thousandfold again now?

Was this... still connected to the person who bought the auction item?

If so, why?

This luck seemed a little too good.

Immediately after, the system's notification sounded again.

Ding! Congratulations, host. Reward obtained: complete Zhuge Crossbow production blueprints and detailed craftsmanship manual!

Hearing that, even Ning Liu's breathing stopped for an instant.

He had never expected this reward at all.

He had thought the system would reward him with some other Tang Sect's hidden weapons this time.

Even something like the previously mentioned fifth-ranked Tang Sect's hidden weapon, the Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life-Taking Gall!

But what it had given him was actually the complete Zhuge Crossbow production blueprints and detailed craftsmanship manual.

That meant that as long as he had enough blacksmiths under him, he could produce Zhuge Crossbows without limit.

That was the Zhuge Crossbow, a deadly weapon capable of threatening even a Soul King expert.

Ning Liu suddenly could not help thinking that if he took this thing back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

Wouldn't those elders in the sect practically enshrine him like a treasure?

At the same time, inside a certain VIP private room.

"Hahaha, good! Excellent!"

Ning Fengzhi let out a burst of hearty laughter.

Having won the Hidden Arrow at auction, countless thoughts were already running through his mind at this moment!

"I truly never expected to gain such an unexpected delight from this trip!"

He picked up his teacup and took a light sip, yet the smile in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

At his side, Bone Douluo Gu Rong also showed approval at this moment.

"Fengzhi, I have always believed that you are the most far-sighted sect master in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Now it seems that is indeed the case!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely reach unprecedented glory in your hands."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, his smile carrying a trace of modesty.

"Uncle Bone, you flatter me."

"If not for the protection of you and Uncle Sword, even if I won such a precious treasure at auction, I fear it would still draw the covetous eyes of countless factions."

His words were not empty.

The so-called coveting was absolutely not only aimed at the auction item!

Rather, it had to do with the current state of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was known to be as wealthy as a nation!

But they had, after all, founded their sect on an auxiliary-type martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

Without sufficient strength, they would be nothing but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Of course, if others could gain some benefits, they would allow it to continue developing!

But if this sheep wanted to cast off its identity as a fat lamb and resist, then...

Hearing these words, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

In those calm eyes of his, a sharp edge suddenly flashed.

"Hmph, Fengzhi, rest assured! If anyone dares to covet it, they can ask the Seven Kill Sword in my hand first!"

His tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.

Bone Douluo, who was beside him, also grew solemn and nodded.

Ning Fengzhi naturally understood how the two of them felt, and immediately changed the subject.

"However, just who exactly is this extraordinary person capable of forging such an exquisite hidden weapon?"

"If such a talent cannot be used by our sect..."

He did not finish the sentence, but the deeper meaning in his eyes made both Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo understand.

For a genius capable of changing the balance of a battlefield, if they could not be won over, then they absolutely could not be left to anyone else.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong pondered briefly, and a rare trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Fengzhi, this matter is not that difficult."

"If the other party is a man, and his age is suitable, why not consider letting Rongrong form a marriage alliance with him?"

Ning Fengzhi froze slightly when he heard this.

Bone Douluo continued, "Though this method is old-fashioned, it is often the most effective."

He analyzed, "Through marriage, we could both tie this person to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's chariot and obtain his techniques openly and legitimately."

"If this person's talent is extraordinary, his future achievements will be limitless. For Rongrong, and for the sect, it would be greatly beneficial."

"As for Rongrong's happiness... with us old fellows here, even if the other party had any thoughts, he would not truly dare to bully her."

Ning Fengzhi fell into a brief silence.

He had to admit that Bone Douluo's proposal, while direct, was still a sound strategy.

But Rongrong was his daughter, after all!

It was not as if he did not know how high Rongrong's standards were, or how free her mindset was!

If they truly were not suitable, and he forced her...

After a moment, he slowly nodded in the end.

"We will decide on this matter after I have met this person."

On the auction stage, Doudou's voice rang out again, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Honored guests, this next lot is the ninth auction item of this auction!"

"It is also the very item mentioned earlier in our auction house's promotion!"

She pointed with a slender hand, and the red cloth on the tray held by the maid behind her was lifted, revealing a suit of soft armor shimmering with flowing light and color.

"This item is called the Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor!"

"It was meticulously tanned and crafted from many rare materials!"

"Its defensive power is so strong that it can withstand one full-force attack from a six-ring Soul Emperor-level Assault System Soul Master!"

Doudou's voice was filled with allure.

"The starting price is One Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Each bid increase must not be lower than One Thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

The atmosphere below the stage was ignited once more.

To many soul masters, a piece of equipment that could save their lives had immeasurable value.

Inside Ning Liu's private auction room, however, he was rather uninterested in it.

This Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor was originally an item the system had rewarded him with.

When he was preparing to put it up for auction, he had asked the system whether he could receive the normal return.

The system told him he could only obtain a onefold return.

From that perspective, it truly had little meaning to him.

If he had not wanted to build his reputation, he actually would not have wanted to put it up for auction at all!

Bids rose and fell one after another throughout the venue.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty-five thousand!"

"I bid one hundred and fifty thousand!"

The price climbed all the way up.

Inside a certain private room.

Ning Rongrong's little face was slightly flushed from excitement.

"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

Her clear voice rang out, carrying a trace of willful confidence that she was determined to win.

She thought to herself that once this soft armor was in her hands, she would definitely put it on and go find Senior Brother Ning Liu for a proper "spar," letting him taste what it felt like to be slapped in the face too.

Hmph, let's see if he still dares look down on me.

On the auction stage, Doudou's speaking speed also quickened.

"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins! This honored guest has bid two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

"Is there any higher bid?"

"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, going once!"

"Two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, going twice!"

The Auction Gavel was just about to fall.

In the corner where Xiao Wu sat, she anxiously nudged Tang San's arm.

"Brother, if you still don't make a move, someone else is going to win that Soft Armor!"

This Soft Armor held an inexplicable attraction for her!

However, Tang San's face still carried a calm smile.

As if everything was within his expectations.

"Heh, all right."

He gently patted the back of Xiao Wu's hand, signaling for her to stay calm.

Then he directly made a bid.

"Two hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
