Chapter 194: Setting Off

Pavilion Master of Wuliu Pavilion?

Ning Feiliu's expression was strange; perhaps Ning Fengzhi's idea was to have him establish another internal force within the direct lineage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, primarily to protect the direct disciples?

It was probably similar to the so-called warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple.

But to be in charge of all Battle Soul Master affairs within the inner sect... the inner sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect consists entirely of direct disciples and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters, so how many Battle Soul Masters could there be? The distinction between the inner and outer sects of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is completely different from other sects in novels.

In other sects, the status of the inner sect is far higher than the outer sect, yet the two are interconnected; outer sect disciples will try every possible way to break their heads just to enter the inner sect and become noble inner sect disciples.

But the distinction between the inner and outer sects of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is purely to differentiate between Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters and Battle Soul Masters.

At the same time, although the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's inner sect disciples is also very high, they are not actually superior to the outer sect disciples.

After all, they still rely on the protection of the outer sect disciples, so they certainly wouldn't be too overbearing.

Outer sect disciples cannot be promoted to inner sect disciples, but it is not impossible for them to enter the inner sect.

That is... to become a Supreme Elder! Just like the father of the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo; as long as you become a Supreme Elder, you are naturally a member of the inner sect.

Your descendants—like the Sword Douluo's father who became a Supreme Elder—naturally make his descendant, the Sword Douluo, a direct inner sect disciple.

So, in the accurate sense, the only Battle Soul Masters among the direct inner sect disciples are currently Ning Feiliu and... the two Supreme Elders, the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo.

What kind of authority could he have with this? Of course, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't just be thinking of giving a title to brush things off; he would certainly give Ning Feiliu some substantive power.

Sure enough, Ning Fengzhi continued, "The Wuliu Pavilion has just been founded and is short on manpower, therefore, many third-generation direct disciples and... outer sect Elders Ming Liexin, Wang Xiao..."

He read out the names of six outer sect Elders before continuing, "Listen to my orders!"

"We obey your orders!" The outer sect Elders whose names were called walked out one by one and said in unison with the third-generation direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's inner sect.

The third-generation direct disciples were naturally Ning Feiliu's cousins and relatives of the same generation; their numbers were quite significant, with over five hundred people at a glance.

(The original text data that can be found is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has over five thousand inner and outer sect disciples, with about two thousand direct inner sect disciples; there shouldn't be many first-generation Elder disciples like Ning Fengzhi's father left.)

As for family ratios, generally, there are more descendants than older generations, so according to the ratio of Ning Fengzhi's father having several children, the ratio of second-generation to third-generation disciples is 1:3.

However, one certainly cannot pull out all the direct disciples here; excluding some direct disciples still in swaddling clothes and peripheral disciples managing sect businesses outside, this is roughly the number.) "From today on, you and the disciples you oversee are incorporated into the Wuliu Pavilion; obey the orders of the Pavilion Master!"

The third-generation direct disciples and the outer sect Elders responded without hesitation, "We respectfully obey the Sect Master's orders!"

The third-generation direct disciples plus these few outer sect Elders and the outer sect disciples they oversee amounted to about fifteen hundred people.

Of course, Ning Feiliu did not know this, but just seeing these many people in front of him made him feel a bit of a headache.

Ning Fengzhi nodded with satisfaction, then he looked at Ning Feiliu and said, "Feiliu, the heavy responsibility of developing and strengthening the Wuliu Pavilion and protecting the sect... is handed to you."

Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, but he sighed and said calmly to Ning Fengzhi, "Your son respectfully obeys Father's orders."

He was actually very clear that Ning Fengzhi was truly buying people's hearts; besides that, there was also... Ning Fengzhi incorporating many direct disciples under the management of Ning Feiliu's Wuliu Pavilion, which was naturally hoping that Ning Feiliu could allow some of these Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect direct disciples to obtain a Crescent Moon Divine Weapon like him and become Battle Soul Masters.

It was just a pity that the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method requires three Immortal Herbs and also the Moonlight Breathing Method, and it is quite risky.

Ning Feiliu was not that generous, and he did not intend to pass on the method of artificial martial souls like the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon casually. Even... he still did not intend to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future.

Therefore, these operations of Ning Fengzhi were destined to be in vain.

However, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to be managed by the descendants of his older brother Ning Mingrui in the future, he could consider leaving one branch of his own descendants in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to protect it.

"Alright, let us disperse now; it is time to go and obtain your Fourth Soul Ring, Feiliu," Ning Fengzhi said with a slight smile.

Soon, the many Elders and disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dispersed to attend to their own affairs.

But after today, a brand-new pavilion was built within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with the plaque above it reading—"Wuliu Pavilion" in three large characters.

"Sorry to have kept Mr. Dugu and Yanyan waiting."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan immediately looked at Ning Fengzhi, the Sword Douluo, Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and... the several accompanying outer sect Elders and disciples walking toward them.

This time, to help Ning Feiliu obtain his soul ring, it was not just Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo who were mobilized.

Ning Fengzhi also instructed the few outer sect Elders who had just been incorporated into the Wuliu Pavilion to bring more disciples to accompany them into the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, this was actually the treatment that core disciples of major powers should have when obtaining soul rings: sect experts accompanying them, along with many sect disciples acting as scouts and vanguards.

Just like the group of Hu Liena entering the Star Dou Great Forest in the original plot.

Where would they need to do everything themselves?

Some more extravagant disciples of major powers would even bring cooks and attendants along, not only having protection but also being able to enjoy extremely luxurious cooked delicacies anytime and anywhere in the wilderness.

Ning Feiliu did not have such thoughts, but his treatment was even more luxurious than that of other major power disciples; it could be said that few had better treatment than him.

Because he had two Title Douluo and the number one Auxiliary System Spirit Master of the Douluo Dalu accompanying him this time.

Just ask about this treatment; in the original plot, only Hu Liena's group had this treatment, and even Tang San himself did not have it—because every time he hunted a Soul Beast, he did it himself.

"It's fine, drinking tea here is also excellent," Dugu Bo chuckled, appearing extremely broad-minded.

"Then let us set off," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Good."

Immediately, Ning Feiliu, accompanied by an extremely luxurious lineup, headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
