章 69: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
Everyone knows the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, which is recognised as the number one support spirit on the Douluo Continent. Still, few people know that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is incomplete.
Because the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda only has seven levels, it can only bear seven spirit rings. A spirit master who awakens this spirit can only reach a maximum level of seventy-nine spirit power.
This is why Ning Rongrong's father has always been unable to reach the level of Spirit Douluo.
If Xiao Feng really masters the method to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, then even if he wanted Ning Rongrong to marry him, Ning Fengzhi would surely agree.
"Do you think I'd joke about something like this?" Xiao Feng said thoughtfully, "But to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, we must rely on some rare treasures, and the places where those treasures are located are too dangerous. We'll need the help of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo."
Seeing Xiao Feng's serious expression, Ning Rongrong also became more earnest and said in a crisp voice, "Brother Xiao, if you can really help me evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, from now on, you'll be the best friend of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"In that case, there's no time to waste; let's go!" Xiao Feng said, grabbing Ning Rongrong's tiny hand and leaping onto the back of the giant scorpion corpse puppet, heading straight to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
...
A few days later
At the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
Ning Rongrong sat on the living room sofa, idly swinging her slender legs.
Sitting beside her, Xiao Feng was leisurely drinking tea and sampling the snacks on the table.
"Click, click, click..."
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a magnetic voice, "I heard our little troublemaker is back. Where are you, Rongrong? Come out and let Daddy see you."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly and rushed toward the door.
"Daddy, Rongrong missed you so much~."
She pounced into Ning Fengzhi's arms, rubbed her cheek against him like a kitten, and then looked up at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo with pitiful eyes, complaining, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Rongrong missed you too. All those bad people outside bullied Rongrong, and you didn't come to protect me.
Especially that headmaster of Shrek Academy, Flender! He made me run over sixty kilometres without stopping and said if I didn't finish, I wouldn't get lunch. When I said I couldn't go on, he threatened to expel me."
"Outrageous! How dare they bully you!"
"Flender, you think I'm going to let this slide?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exploded in anger upon hearing this, feeling as if their fury was about to burst through the top of their heads.
Their pampering of Ning Rongrong was such that she had grown into a little troublemaker.
"Don't worry, Rongrong; Grandpa Sword will go to Soutuo City right now and bring Flender back to pay for this!"
"I'll go too! I want to see how bold this Flender is, daring to mess with someone under our protection!"
Seeing the situation, Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming and quickly pulled the two back. "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't be rash, we have guests here!"
It wasn't that Ning Fengzhi cared about Flender's fate. In fact, Flender's harsh treatment of Ning Rongrong was at Ning Fengzhi's secret instruction.
Ning Fengzhi felt that Ning Rongrong had been spoiled by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, so he wanted her to suffer a bit and temper her personality while she was away from home.
Flender had only dared to discipline Ning Rongrong because he had received a handwritten letter from Ning Fengzhi himself. Otherwise, given Shrek Academy's habit of picking on the weak and fearing the strong, Flender wouldn't have dared to risk his life like that.
If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo really went to trouble Flender, Flender would undoubtedly expose Ning Fengzhi, and then he would be in a real mess.
Ning Rongrong, unaware of her father's little scheme, smiled brightly when she heard him mention Xiao Feng and eagerly introduced, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, let me introduce you to Brother Xiao Feng."
With the speed of the giant scorpion corpse puppet, Xiao Feng and Ning Rongrong should have been able to reach the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect from Soutuo City in less than a day.
However, Xiao Feng deliberately slowed down the puppet's pace, taking several days to reach the sect.
After spending several days together, with Xiao Feng intentionally trying to win her over, Ning Rongrong had warmed up to him considerably and was now addressing him more intimately.
"Brother Xiao Feng?"
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's faces immediately changed.
In their eyes, Xiao Feng had become a wild boar—and not just any wild boar, but one with yellow fur!
"Xiao Feng, at your service, Sect Master Ning." Xiao Feng greeted Ning Fengzhi with a respectful bow and bowed to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. "Greetings to you, seniors."
"Hmm." Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, though displeased with this strange youth, gave a slight nod for Ning Rongrong's sake.
"Father, don't underestimate Brother Feng!" Ning Rongrong noticed their dismissive attitude and, putting her hands on her hips, protested, "Brother Feng can not only refine powerful battle puppets from spirit beast corpses, but he also said he could help evolve my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed sharply as he stared at Xiao Feng. "Is this true?!"
"It is." Xiao Feng nodded calmly. "Though the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is an innately flawed spirit, it is not impossible to repair.
As I understand it, there is a way to repair flawed spirits—by consuming immortal-grade spiritual herbs."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi wasn't too surprised. He had come across such methods in ancient texts, which mentioned using immortal-grade herbs to evolve spirits.
"Young man, consuming immortal-grade herbs is indeed a good method, but such herbs are scarce. Even if..."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly, "Could it be that you know the location of such herbs?"
"Indeed. I accidentally discovered a treasure trove with at least seven or eight immortal-grade herbs."
"Seven or eight immortal-grade herbs?!"
Not just Ning Fengzhi but even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were astonished.
Since when could immortal-grade herbs be found in such abundance?
"Unfortunately, the treasure trove has been claimed by someone—a titled Douluo. I am no match for them, so I need your help, seniors."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo weren't surprised by this revelation; it made Xiao Feng's claim seem more credible.
