As long as there is even the slightest possibility, Yu Tianheng will try his best to change their originally tragic fate, not for any Heavenly Mandate Points, but because they deserve a better ending.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Tianheng finally arrived at the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the council hall, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and the soft light of the glass lamps reflected off the jade bricks. Ning Fengzhi sat upright in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest. Suddenly, he heard the soft ringing of the copper bells on the eaves, and knew that the distinguished guest had arrived.
"It's been a long time. Nephew Yu, you are even more radiant than before. Was your trip to Suotuo City smooth?" Ning Fengzhi stood up to greet him, his smile as gentle as spring water. Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded slightly to him, then quickly walked behind Ning Fengzhi and stood with his hands behind his back.
Yu Tianheng clasped his hands in a respectful greeting. "Thank you for your concern, Sect Master Ning. I am well." As he straightened up, his gaze became steady. "I have come to your esteemed sect with the intention of discussing a deal with you in person, Sect Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi for Yu Tianheng to sit down, then tapped the tea table lightly. "I see. Then let's sit down and talk in detail. Also, given the friendship between Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, Nephew Yu, you don't need to stand on ceremony. Just call me Uncle."
"Very well, then this junior will humbly address you as Uncle Ning." Yu Tianheng then took his seat.
Ning Fengzhi held a white jade teacup, his gaze gentle. "Nephew, your sudden visit must mean you have something important to discuss. Please speak freely."
Yu Tianheng's expression was cold and stern, his black robes fluttering in the wind. He didn't say much after hearing this, but reached into his robes and slowly took out an item.
The object was wrapped in black silk, and with his movements, a strange halo seeped through the fabric. When the black silk was fully unwrapped, a fist-sized, crystal-clear gem-like Soul Bone was revealed to everyone.
This Soul Bone is a magnificent crimson gold color, with fine patterns flowing across its surface, like the intertwining of star trails, and wisps Sisi dark purple light wandering within it, as if a mysterious power is constantly surging.
Ning Fengzhi's teacup trembled violently, spilling scalding tea that left dark stains on his moon-white sleeve. He was oblivious, his gaze fixed on the Soul Bone.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's body trembled slightly, and the long sword at his waist emitted a clear "hum," with a murderous sword intent unconsciously spreading out.
"This... this is Soul Bone!" Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled. As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who had seen countless rare treasures, he could not hide his shock at this moment. "And judging from its quality, could it be..."
"Indeed! This is Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone." Yu Tianheng said, "I obtained this Soul Bone by chance. It is Head Soul Bone, belonging to the gem-type Soul Bone. It has powerful abilities and is suitable for Auxiliary System Soul Master. It can create illusionary spaces and enhance the mental power of teammates."
"Uncle Ning should know what this soul bone means to a support-type soul master." His gaze swept over Ning Fengzhi, who seemed somewhat puzzled and curious why Yu Tianheng didn't keep such a precious soul bone for himself but instead came to trade with him.
But Yu Tianheng quickly explained, "My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is Power Attack System, and this Soul Bone is not compatible with me. As for taking it home, it's not appropriate. Rather than letting it go to waste, it's better to make the most of it."
"I just don't know if Uncle Ning would be willing to buy it?"
Ning Fengzhi a deep breath, regaining some composure. "I'll take this Soul Bone. Nephew, please just name your request."
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a large and wealthy family, and they don't care about ordinary rare treasures, Ning Fengzhi still couldn't refuse this Soul Bone of ten thousand years quality.
Yu Tianheng said without hesitation, "I want money!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him; Ning Fengzhi's tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He had thought Yu Tianheng would want some rare and precious treasures, but it turned out to be just money.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may not have much else, but it's rich!
"Sigh!" Yu Tianheng sighed, " Uncle Ning, as you know, I am now an Imperial Earl, with the fief of Suotuo City, but to control Suotuo City, I need to build my own military force, which is very expensive."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly upon hearing this, "I understand! I understand! My dear nephew, please name your price; I can afford it."
Yu Tianheng said, "The price of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone varies depending on factors such as quality, attributes, and compatible Martial Soul, and usually ranges from two million to nearly ten million Gold Soul Coin Gold Soul Coin."
" Uncle Ning, you can give it to me as you see fit."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand dismissively. "Then ten million Gold Soul Coin it is. I can't let you, my nephew, suffer a loss."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi immediately ordered his men to take out ten million Gold Soul Coin in cash from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasury and bring them into the council hall, so that Yu Tianheng could take them in front of him.
Yu Tianheng was very envious of such a lavish scene.
He thought to himself: As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose wealth rivals that of a nation, they don't even blink an eye when it comes to spending ten million Gold Soul Coin.
After putting the money away, Yu Tianheng handed over the ten-thousand-year-quality gem-type Soul Bone to Ning Fengzhi.
After Ning Fengzhi received it, he examined it carefully and, after confirming that it was correct, handed it directly to Sword Douluo Chen Xin, instructing him to keep it close to his body for safekeeping.
He planned to give it to his beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong, later, so that she could absorb the Soul Bone and enhance her potential.
Just as Ning Fengzhi thought the transaction was over, Yu Tianheng suddenly spoke up, " Uncle Ning, the transaction of this Soul Bone was only one part of our trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; there are other matters as well."
"This is also a transaction, but the item being traded isn't Soul Bone; it's even more precious than Soul Bone. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, its value is no less than that of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
Upon hearing this, both Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were stunned on the spot, utterly shocked.
"My dear... nephew, please explain in detail."
"Alright!" Yu Tianheng nodded. "However, before that, I have a question that I would like Uncle Ning to answer."
"Excuse me."
"I learned from my grandfather that the maximum number of Soul Ring for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is only seven. Could you tell me why?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi did not hide anything and answered directly, " The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the ultimate support-type Martial Soul, naturally possessing powerful group enhancement capabilities, such as increasing Soul Power, speed, and defense. However, this ultimate quality also comes with a price— the Martial Soul itself has weapon soul limitations."
"Therefore, the maximum number of Soul Ring for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is seven. After breaking through to the seventh ring, the Martial Soul will be unable to withstand the energy overload, making it unable to continue absorbing Soul Ring of higher age. This is an inherent limitation of Martial Soul and is difficult to change."
At this point, a hint of dejection flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. For this reason, his Soul Power was currently stuck at level 79, and he was unable to advance any further.
Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's status in the Soul Master World would be greatly enhanced.
"What if I had a way to change this rule?"
