บท 145: Chapter 145: Following
Heaven Dou City.
After leaving the Spirit Hall, Gu Yi returned directly to the academy. After all, these people still needed someone with absolute strength to hold the fort. However, Ning Fengzhi had come again.
"Sect Master Ning, is there something you want to talk about?" Gu Yi didn't want to deal with someone so deep-minded. After cleansing his spirit, he had reverted to a youthful nature and naturally disliked complex schemes; they were simply too troublesome.
Ning Fengzhi, who had seen countless people, was also shocked when he saw Gu Yi again. Eyes, as the windows to the soul, can reflect many things. The Gu Yi of the past had seemed like a boy who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, deep and unfathomable. But now, he couldn't see through them at all, his eyes were only bright and pure.
This kind of gaze, Ning Fengzhi had only seen twice in his life—once in Gu Yi's disciple Wang Yanan, and now again in Gu Yi. What could have caused such a drastic change in a person?
"Let's be straightforward; I want to buy the pills you have. The treasury of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is at your disposal..."
Heaven knows how shocked and envious Ning Fengzhi had been when Ning Rongrong demonstrated her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda at home. The limitations of the 80th level had always been a regret for him. He had never expected his martial spirit to evolve again, so he had no such aspirations. But now, a living example was right before him, and it only took a single pill to achieve this.
How could Ning Fengzhi not be moved? Especially after hearing that Gu Yi had distributed pills to seven other people. Even as a headmaster and teacher, Gu Yi's contributions far exceeded the norm. Ning Fengzhi couldn't fathom Gu Yi's thoughts. This young man's ideas were so wild and illogical that they were impossible to predict.
"I'm sorry, but I have other uses for the remaining pill, and it cannot be sold," Gu Yi replied. The last pill he had left, he wasn't willing to give away so easily because whatever Ning Fengzhi could offer was far less valuable than this pill.
"Can't we negotiate?" Ning Fengzhi was still not giving up. If their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could have two Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit masters, their position in the Spirit Master world would be solidified. Their auxiliary capabilities already surpassed everyone else's, but if they could cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, their abilities would be unprecedented, far surpassing all other auxiliary spirits. No spirit master could resist the temptation of a significant increase in power.
"No negotiation. Even I can't make that kind of pill again. The herbs used to make the pill are unique in the world. Even if I wanted to make another, it would take a millennium for the same ingredients to be available again," Gu Yi shook his head.
There were still many unused immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but Gu Yi couldn't think of any that would help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve further. Besides, he was already overwhelmed with his own affairs and had no time or desire to make pills for Ning Fengzhi.
"In that case, please accept this card, Dean Gu. Thank you for teaching my daughter during this time," Ning Fengzhi said.
Gu Yi accepted it without hesitation. After all, there were still many things that required money in the days to come. Ning Fengzhi smiled upon seeing Gu Yi accept the card. At least their relationship was still amicable; they weren't yet opponents or, worse...enemies.
The Spirit Hall, after all, was not on the same path as them. This was a point that most sects had confirmed. The Spirit Hall had already gained enough power to dominate, and if these weaker sects didn't unite, they would be broken apart.
No one was happier about Gu Yi's return than Dugu Yan. After first tasting the forbidden fruit and then being separated from her lover, her longing had been overwhelming. That very night, Dugu Yan used moves that even shocked Gu Yi. When she took out ice from her spirit tool, Gu Yi could only take a deep breath, speechless.
The dawn broke, and Gu Yi woke up amidst a pile of torn clothes. Covering up the exposed parts of his body, he stepped out of the room, took a long breath, and looked at the rising sun with mixed emotions.
"This world is truly beautiful."
Morning practice came quickly, and Gu Yi learned what spirit abilities Oscar and the others had acquired. Oscar's ability came from the 8,000-year-old Pink Empress Beast, far exceeding the master's theoretical limit for the fourth spirit ring. The acquired spirit ability was also stronger than in the original work.
Lin Qing used a 3,500-year-old Azure Bamboo for her third spirit ring. She followed Gu Yi's advice closely, focusing on enhancing the vitality and resilience of her spirit. Especially in recent days, as she continued to absorb the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, her spirit seemed to carry some regal majesty, making it easier to absorb plant-type spirit beasts. Her spirit was growing step by step.
However, compared to the growth of the first two, Ma Hongjun's improvement was the most astonishing. Ma Hongjun's fourth spirit ring was not randomly chosen but was specified by Gu Yi, and like Gu Yi, it was a 10,000-year spirit ring—the Nirvana Fire Phoenix.
Yes, it was the same spirit beast from which Gu Yi had obtained his fifth spirit ring, and now it was Ma Hongjun's turn. Only after experiencing this Nirvana would Ma Hongjun undergo a true transformation. The pill's effect wouldn't have been as significant.
Although the Evil Fire Phoenix bore the name of the phoenix, its bloodline was impure. After the previous three evolutions and the power of the pill, it was only one step away from perfection. After absorbing the Nirvana Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun's spirit finally lived up to its name as a true phoenix. Moreover, the evil fire and phoenix flames within his spirit underwent a mysterious fusion, raising the temperature of his flames even higher.
Now, Ma Hongjun had undoubtedly become the second most powerful person after Dugu Yan. His spirit power had even surpassed Oscar's for the first time, reaching an astonishing level 43.
"Brother Yi, I'm sticking with you for life," Ma Hongjun said, moved from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Gu Yi's continuous support, teaching him skills, and choosing spirit beasts for him, his future would likely have been spent lingering in brothels. And since he wasn't from a wealthy family, he would have only been able to afford the lowest of the low.
They had also heard about what had happened yesterday. They knew the pills Gu Yi had given them were valuable, but they hadn't grasped just how valuable until now. But Ning Fengzhi's words had made it clear: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's treasury is at your disposal."
This meant that if Gu Yi wanted, he could have emptied the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's treasury. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was the wealthiest clan in the world, with a treasury full of rare treasures. This made them realize just how precious the pills Gu Yi had given them were.
"You stupid fatso, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't follow Brother Yi, where else would you go?" Oscar teased Ma Hongjun, trying to lighten the mood.
