"Uncle Ning, you don't need to put all your eggs in one basket."
Dai Tianfeng suddenly spoke up.
"You can arrange for a group of core disciples to go to Star Luo City first, then gradually transfer the sect's businesses there, or even develop them further. That would leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a way out."
At those words, everyone present looked at Dai Tianfeng in surprise.
No matter how gifted Dai Tianfeng was, he was only six years old.
"That's a good idea." Ning Fengzhi gave Dai Tianfeng an appreciative look and nodded.
Most of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's businesses were in the Heaven Dou Empire. Unless the sect faced a choice between life and death,
even Ning Fengzhi, as sect master, had no authority to move the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the Star Luo Empire.
But sending core disciples over and transferring the sect's businesses bit by bit was a different matter entirely.
"As expected of the peerless prodigy with the first Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, your talent is truly extraordinary."
The more Ning Fengzhi looked at Dai Tianfeng, the more pleased he was. "It's Rongrong's honor to marry you!"
Not only was his talent unparalleled, but he also had such a clear head at such a young age. Given time, he was bound to achieve great things.
With the entire Star Luo Empire backing him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have at least three hundred years free of worries as long as Rongrong married him.
But none of Ning Fengzhi's sons was capable of achieving great things.
Even with a brother-in-law like Dai Tianfeng in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might still go downhill.
That was why Ning Fengzhi had made Ning Rongrong the young sect master as soon as she awakened her Martial Soul.
Now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future succession had become another major problem.
"You flatter me, Uncle Ning."
Dai Tianfeng looked flattered and surprised.
This Ning Fengzhi really knows how to talk!
He's praised me so much I'm getting embarrassed.
As for Chen Xin beside him, Dai Tianfeng didn't know whether it was his imagination, but he kept feeling that Chen Xin's eyes were full of hostility.
It was as though he had stolen something incredibly precious from Chen Xin.
Just then, a little girl in a tasseled dress, as pretty as a porcelain doll, ran into the hall.
It was Ning Rongrong.
"Grandpa Jian!" Ning Rongrong threw herself into Chen Xin's arms.
"Good girl, Rongrong."
Chen Xin stroked Ning Rongrong's little head, his face full of affection.
"Grandpa Jian, who are they?" Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Tianfeng curiously.
"Rongrong, this is your fiancé, Dai Tianfeng!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and instructed her, "You must get along well from now on, and don't throw your young miss's tantrums anymore!"
He was afraid the Little Demoness would throw a tantrum in front of Dai Tianfeng and make him dislike her.
"Fiancé?"
Ning Rongrong blinked her big, adorable eyes, her pretty face full of confusion.
No matter how precocious people on the Douluo Continent were, a six-year-old child clearly wouldn't understand what a fiancé meant.
Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never had a rule requiring engagements to be arranged in childhood.
And Chen Xin and Gu Rong spoiled Ning Rongrong to no end.
"He's the person you'll stay with in the future."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Rongrong, your fiancé is a super genius with the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power!"
Ever since his daughter had awakened her Martial Soul, she had always considered herself a genius.
With Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu protecting her, she played pranks everywhere despite her young age.
Now that Dai Tianfeng was here, perhaps he could make Ning Rongrong a little less mischievous.
"White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat Twin Martial Souls?"
Ning Rongrong's face filled with curiosity. "Can you show me?"
Ning Rongrong wasn't particularly opposed to the idea.
Her father had told her long ago that, since her Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she would need to find a powerful Power Attack System Battle Soul Master in the future.
With Innate Full Soul Power and two Martial Souls, he seemed to meet that standard in every way.
"Of course." Dai Tianfeng smiled faintly. His White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him, and his First Soul Ring appeared.
"A Thousand-Year First Soul Ring? How is that possible?!"
Seeing the purple Thousand-Year First Soul Ring, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Xin widened their eyes once again.
This was even harder for them to accept than Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.
Genius Soul Masters with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power had appeared in history before.
But this was the first time anyone had seen a Thousand-Year First Soul Ring.
The age of the Soul Ring one could absorb depended on several factors, including Martial Soul quality, physical strength, and spiritual power.
Different Soul Masters had natural differences in their Martial Soul grades, physical constitutions, and spiritual power.
But for a Soul Master's first ring, absorbing one that was 420 years old was already the limit.
Even a Level 95 Super Douluo like Chen Xin had a First Soul Ring that was only four hundred years old.
"Even with Twin Martial Souls, it's impossible to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as the First Soul Ring!"
A possibility occurred to Ning Fengzhi, and he looked at Dai Xiu with a burning gaze. "Could it be that you've discovered a way to increase the age of the Soul Rings one can absorb?"
"That's right. Tianfeng was the one who discovered it, too."
After a moment's thought, Dai Xiu nodded.
It was true that the White Tiger Lineage controlled the vast Star Luo Empire, but in business, it was clearly inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not only as rich as a nation, but its merchant associations also spanned the entire continent.
It was easy for the White Tiger Lineage to purchase Whale Rubber within the Star Luo Empire, but doing so elsewhere was somewhat troublesome.
Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, in particular, kept a close eye on the Star Luo Empire's every move.
And now that the White Tiger Lineage and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were joined by marriage, they were already one family.
There was no harm in revealing the secret of Whale Rubber.
Besides, the other factions would discover clues sooner or later.
What was more, the Whale Rubber market was so large that the Star Luo Empire alone couldn't swallow it all.
Only by joining hands with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could they maximize their profits.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered as he considered what price he would have to pay to obtain the secret.
"Heating and consuming Whale Rubber can improve one's physical constitution, allowing one to exceed the limit when absorbing Soul Rings."
The next moment, Dai Xiu's frank words left Ning Fengzhi stunned.
"Whale Rubber?" Ning Fengzhi quickly came to his senses, a strange look on his face.
He knew better than anyone what Whale Rubber was.
As the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi had more than one wife.
Naturally, he consumed Whale Rubber from time to time.
He had never imagined that the stuff could have such a major use.
Thinking back on it now, using those older Whale Rubber pieces for that sort of thing had been a terrible waste of heaven's gifts.
"Whale Rubber can do that too? Is it true?" Chen Xin still found it hard to believe.
"To tell the truth, I didn't believe it at first either. But the facts are right in front of me, so I have no choice but to believe it."
Dai Xiu shrugged and pointed at the Thousand-Year Soul Ring floating around Dai Tianfeng.
"Perhaps our two sides can cooperate on purchasing Whale Rubber."
Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to make the proposal.
Since Dai Xiu had been so frank, he didn't mind returning the favor.
