"Hold on."
Ning Fengzhi interrupted Ning Rongrong,
"That Grandmaster really is a character. Your spirit power grew by three or four ranks in one year under his instruction, that's still very ordinary. I greatly admire his education of you. But according to what you said, two months ago you were still at the thirty-first rank. But two months later you've already reached the thirty-seventh rank, how did this come about?"
Ning Rongrong smiled mysteriously:
"Actually, half a month ago I was still at the thirty-first rank. These last six ranks were practically done in a day."
"Rongrong, you mustn't frighten grandpa."
The wizened old man couldn't help opening his eyes wide. He knew that the more that nefarious cultivation method increased cultivation speed, the more vitality it consumed. Gaining six ranks in one day, that might expend decades of life.
A giggle escaped from Ning Rongrong:
"What are you up to, I still thought to give you a nice surprise but how did it turn into an alarm? It's actually nothing. I just ate a kind of herb and gained this much strength."
"Herb?"
Ning Fengzhi nervously questioned in detail:
"What herb?"
Ning Rongrong said:
"My third brother said that it was called something like 'Beautiful Silk Tulip'. It's a rare immortal treasure."
In Ning Fengzhi's mind suddenly appeared two silhouettes he had met just recently, it couldn't be them.
"Beautiful silk tulip? Uncle Sword, uncle Bone. Have either of you heard of this herb?"
The two old men shook their heads simultaneously with blank faces. The wizened old man said:
"Perhaps, only that old poisonous thing Dugu Bo would know. No good, Fengzhi, we have to examine Rongrong's condition at once. If by any chance her spirit power growth came at the cost of her vitality, we have to think of a way to deal with it at once."
"Grandpa bone, I said there's no need to be worried. My third brother said that those herbs were all immortal treasures that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, with a powerful effect on the foundations. Not only wouldn't they cause harm, but they would also even consolidate the foundations. Forget about it. I won't hide it anymore. I'll let you have the real surprise. After you've seen this you won't doubt it again."
While speaking, Ning Rongrong slowly raised her right hand. Dazzlingly beautiful multicolored rays of light began to coalesce at her palm.
Watching the light condense in his daughter's palm, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt somewhat strange, but for a moment he was unable to say where the strangeness came from.
At the dazzlingly beautiful pagoda were two yellow and one purple, three spirit rings revolving in Ning Rongrong's right hand. The dazzling splendor immediately made the hall become even brighter.
Before Ning Fengzhi could look closer, the white-dressed old man at his side cried out in surprise,
"Nine layers and nine colors, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"What?"
Ning Fengzhi had a greatly alarmed expression. He finally understood what had made him feel strange, it was precisely the colors in Ning Rongrong's palm as she released her spirit. Different from the original seven colors, there were two more than before. It had become nine colors, and the pagoda in her palm right now had nine levels.
As the most powerful support spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School actually had a secret, and this secret actually related to their spirit.
Heaven was impartial, the effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on the battlefield was actually too frightful. Therefore, it also had a flaw.
The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was known as Seven Treasure was not only because it had seven levels, but even more, important was that this spirit could only hold up to seven spirit rings, two less than any other spirit. This was also the reason why Ning Fengzhi, even as a schoolmaster, only had seventy-ninth rank spirit power, the main reason he had never been able to break through to the next level.
In the legends of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if by some stroke of luck the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, not only would it strengthen the spirit's own foundations, but it would also have an even vaster space. Once a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master reached the nine ring Title Douluo level, he would possess the title of support god, with the strength to turn the tide of any battle.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi no longer had to worry about his daughter. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda already proved that Ning Rongrong's vitality hadn't been cut short, on the contrary, it had substantially increased, and her foundations had further become incomparably stable. Right now this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master's heart suffered from a completely different kind of shock. How could he have expected that the dream he had held for his entire life would appear with his daughter? The happiness had appeared too suddenly, and he was now completely lifeless.
It wasn't just Ning Fengzhi who was moved. The two old men also became equally excited. Both looking at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand, for a while they didn't know what to say.
The jewel light faded as Ning Rongrong withdrew her spirit,
"You should believe me now. How would third brother harm me? It's not just me, each of us got a heavenly treasure herb, everyone's spirit power increased very quickly, boss Dai even already broke through the fortieth rank, and he's just sixteen."
"Beautiful Silk Tulip, Beautiful Silk Tulip. What kind of treasure is that? It can actually promote my daughter's seven treasure to nine treasure. Such a herb is absolutely worthy of being called an immortal treasure."
"Daddy, weren't you going to give me a present? Hand it over quickly!"
Ning Rongrong held out her hand, wagging it in front of Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi stretched his hand into his chest pocket, taking out the Powder Shooting Shadow and Silent Sleeve Dart he had purchased just today at the auction and gave them to Ning Rongrong,
"I bought these today at the auction. Although the power of these two weapons isn't all that great, they can still provide a certain protection. Yi, Rongrong, why are you looking at daddy with such an expression?"
"Powder Shooting Shadow, Silent Sleeve Dart. Daddy, how did you get third brother's hidden weapons?"
How couldn't Ning Rongrong recognize Tang San's trademark hidden weapons?
"This was made by that third brother of yours?"
Inwardly Ning Fengzhi thought that it was indeed the case, that seemingly common youth was actually really such a genius?
Ning Rongrong pulled up her sleeve, exposing the Silent Sleeve Dart on her left wrist,
"Look, isn't this the same? These two are still the most ordinary. I'm still wearing several kinds that are more powerful. Coming back this time is because I missed you, and another matter, I was preparing to ask daddy whether we could equip our directly related clansmen with these hidden weapons. If used properly they will have a lot of power."
Ning Fengzhi slowly drew in a breath, his expression revealing a somewhat serious light,
"I really want to know, this third brother of yours, precisely what kind of genius he is."
The white dressed old man thought about it deeply:
"If he's really outstanding, he might a candidate for grandson-in-law."
Ning Rongrong's charming face blushed,
"Grandpa Sword, don't talk nonsense. Third brother's heart is already taken. How might he and I be. I..."
At this moment, even Ning Rongrong herself was surprised to find Oscar's, so handsome that even women would be jealous, face appearing in her mind. Even though he didn't have Dai Mubai's ferocity or Tang San's comprehensiveness, every time Ning Rongrong recalled Oscar pushing her down below him the time they confronted the Titan Giant Ape she couldn't keep her heart from throbbing. However, even she didn't dare lightly offend the clan rules.
"Let's go. We'll step outside and you can let me see those 'hidden weapons' you brought back."
"Great!"
The four entered the courtyard, and Ning Fengzhi ordered that nobody should enter, then turned to his daughter:
"Rongrong, how do you want to try it?"
Ning Rongrong thought about it, then her gaze lacking any good intentions fell on those two grandfathers,
"Grandpa Sword, it would be better for us to try it. You're so awesome, you wouldn't get injured."
The white dressed old man smiled slightly, saying:
"That's not certain, these old bones of your grandpa Sword aren't as sturdy as your grandpa Bone."
The wizened old man curled his lips disdainfully,
"Since you're scared, let me do it."
The white dressed old man glared at him,
"Praise you a bit and you're in high spirits. Step aside. I'll accompany our little princess. Girl, use those hidden weapon somethings freely. Grandpa will defend."
Ning Rongrong giggled, saying:
"Great!"
Flicking her wrist, with a dim flicker of light from the spirit tool on her wrist, that Godly Zhuge Crossbow fell into her hand.
She naturally didn't need to think about whether she might hurt the white dressed old man. These two elders could be said to be the supporting pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. They were the guardians of the school. The white clothed old man's Title was Sword, named Chen Xin. The Title Douluo praised as the strongest attack, his spirit power had reached the ninety sixth rank. The wizened old man was Titled Bone, named Gu Rong. Widely known as using crafty transformations, his spirit power had reached the ninety fifth rank. They were two of the strongest powers of the current age, and that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could rank among the seven great clans was admittedly related to their superlative supporting spirit, but it was absolutely also inextricably linked to the support of these two Title Douluo.
The Spirit Hall's evaluation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was such, when Sword and Bone joined and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master appeared, a flicker became an unparallelled light.
