Chapter 60: Advance to Nine Treasures, Show the Wrist

The final piece is the right leg bone of the acid‑poison mud swamp spawned by a seventy‑eight‑thousand‑year‑old acid‑mud earth dragon; it can turn a certain radius into acid‑poison mud swamp, inflicting enemies within with deadly poison, dizziness, paralysis, etc., the area of effect scaling with the user's soul power.

【1】 The last piece is the right leg bone of an earth dragon that produces acid poison mud swamp from seventy‑seven thousand eight hundred years; it can turn a certain area into acid poison mud swamp, poisoning enemies with toxin, dizziness, numbness, etc., the coverage depending on soul power.

After hearing this, Yang Yun felt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was fairly sincere—all the items were at least thirty thousand years old—though they lacked any offensive‑type soul bones.

【2】 Yang Yun felt after hearing that the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect was fairly sincere, with all ages above thirty thousand years; there were just no attack‑type soul bones.

They are all escape, self‑preservation, or control‑type soul skills, possibly once the full set of soul bones used by a single member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

【3】 They are all escape, life‑preserving, control‑type soul skills, perhaps once used together as all the soul bones of a single person from the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

He simply picked these three pieces out for the sake of Qiluo Yujinxiang.

【4】 Just picked these three pieces for Qiluo Yujinxiang.

It's also possible that those were the only three soul bones left on that person, so he just bundled them up and threw them away.

【5】 It's also possible that person only had these three soul bones left, so they simply bundled and threw them away.

The three soul bones had their auras inwardly retracted, indicating they had already been absorbed.

【6】 The three soul bones' glows have been restrained, already absorbed.

These three soul bones each have their own distinctive traits, and they are hardly useless junk meant to trick people; they are all fairly practical soul bones.

【7】 These three soul bones presented each have their own features, and they are not junk‑trap soul bone skills; they are relatively practical soul bones.

Yang Yun nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand, drew the second soul bone into his palm, and placed it into his soul‑tool.

【8】 Yang Yun nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and sucked the second soul bone into his palm, placing it into the soul tool.

He said with a smile, "Let's collect a deposit first."

【9】 Smiling, he said: "First collect a deposit."

After saying that, the Qiluo Yujinxiang was taken out again and slowly floated to Ning Rongrong's face; Yang Yun solemnly said, "This immortal‑grade herb is the only one of its kind; Sect Master Ning, would you like those people from just now to come forward and identify it?"

【10】 After saying that, Qiluo Yujinxiang was taken out again, slowly floating before Ning Rongrong's face; Yang Yun solemnly said: "This immortal‑grade herb is the only stalk; Sect Master Ning, do you still want those people just now to come out and identify it?"

Ning Fengzhi's heart pounded violently, yet he remained composed and gave a faint smile: "Sect Master Yang, you worry too much; I trust you would not joke with us on such an important matter."

【11】 Ning Fengzhi's heart pounded violently; he stayed calm, gave a faint smile: "Sect Master Yang worries too much; I, Ning, believe Sect Master Yang would not joke with us on such a major matter."

"Rongrong, let's begin!"

【12】 "Rongrong, begin!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ning Rongrong, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

【13】 Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ning Rongrong, daring not to slack in the slightest.

Yang Yun keenly sensed that outside the room a dense crowd had gathered—Soul Douluo, Soul Saints, Soul Emperors and lower‑rank soul masters—so many they formed a black mass.

【14】 Yang Yun keenly sensed that outside this room the area was packed tight with people—Soul Douluo, Soul Saint, Soul Emperor and below soul masters forming an immeasurable black mass.

At the very least, there were nearly a thousand people.

【15】 At the very least there were close to a thousand.

"The sect's foundation—our Heaven‑Breaking Sect still needs more time to mature; even though I've been urging people to have children, the Breaking clan was previously in a lethargic state."

【16】 "The sect's foundation—Breaking Heaven Sect really still lacks time to grow and develop; even though I started encouraging reproduction early, the previous Po Clan was listless."

"Who dares to have children?"

【17】 "Who dares to give birth?"

Yang Yun calmly sipped his tea, the water in the kettle and the snacks on the table being refreshed from time to time.

【18】 Yang Yun leisurely sipped tea; the water in the kettle and the snacks on the table were changed from time to time.

The attendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also had solid composure, not trembling at all.

【19】 The Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's maid also had good mental fortitude—her hand didn't tremble at all.

They were rock‑steady.

【20】 Steady as a rock.

After several hours, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo let out a slight sigh of relief: "Fengzhi, you don't need to be so tense; Rongrong's condition is excellent, her soul power is rising without damaging her foundation."

【21】 After several hours, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo slightly relaxed: "Fengzhi, don't be so tense; Rongrong's physical condition is excellent, her soul power rising without damaging the foundation."

"This shows that the immortal‑grade herb truly consolidates the foundation and nurtures the origin without harming the root."

【22】 "This shows this immortal‑grade herb indeed consolidates the foundation and nurtures the primordial, without harming the root."

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were locked on Ning Rongrong's martial spirit behind her, carefully counting the layers of the tower.

【23】 At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's gaze was locked on Ning Rongrong's martial soul behind her, carefully counting the tower's layers.

He counted: one, three, four, six, seven, eight, nine, nine layers—it's nine layers!

【24】 One layer, three, four, six, seven, eight, nine, nine—it's nine layers!

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—the family records are correct; it truly has nine levels, it is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

【25】 Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda—the clan's records are correct; it truly has nine layers, it is the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda.

Ning Fengzhi's face broke into an uncontrollable smile, his eye sockets moist and reddened; heaven knows how many generations of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect masters have poured their hearts out, yet never achieved this.

【26】 Ning Fengzhi's face showed an uncontrollable smile, his eye sockets moist and red; heaven knows for this scene every generation of Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect sect masters have poured their hearts out to no avail.

Finally, finally, in his generation Ning Fengzhi witnessed it—the moment the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ascended to become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

【27】 Finally, finally in his generation Ning Fengzhi saw it—the moment the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect ascended to become the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect.

He counted again—one, five, seven, eight, nine layers—over and over, never tiring of it; before he knew it, Ning Rongrong had awakened.

【28】 One layer, five, seven, eight, nine—Ning Fengzhi counted again and again, each time without tiring; unnoticed, Ning Rongrong had already awakened.

Ning Rongrong didn't even notice her father's similar reaction, and exclaimed ecstatically: "Dad, I've broken through to rank thirty Soul Sovereign; Grandpas, who will help me obtain my third soul ring?"

【29】 Ning Rongrong didn't even notice Ning Fengzhi's similar excitement, she exclaimed delightedly: "Dad, I've broken through to rank thirty Soul Elder; two grandpas, who will help me obtain my third soul ring?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo stepped forward and said, "Naturally, it's Grandpa Sword who will help you hunt for your third soul ring."

【30】 Hearing that, Sword Douluo stepped forward: "Naturally it's Grandpa Sword who will help you hunt your third soul ring."

"Old Bone, we agreed—each of us gets one; you took the second soul ring last time, so now it's my turn." Bone Douluo pursed his lips and gave a cold snort, saying nothing.

【31】 "Old Bone, we agreed—one each, the second soul ring was yours last time; this time it's definitely my turn." Bone Douluo pursed his lips, gave a cold snort, and said nothing.

Ning Fengzhi showed a relieved smile, patted Ning Rongrong's head, and said, "Rongrong, be good—go back to your room to train and consolidate; I still have some matters to discuss with Sect Master Yang."

【32】 Ning Fengzhi revealed a relieved smile, patting Ning Rongrong's head: "Rongrong, be obedient—go back to your room to cultivate and consolidate; Dad still has some things to discuss with Sect Master Yang."

Although she had been delighted, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, let out a grunt, and turned to leave.

【33】 Though she had been quite happy, Ning Rongrong pouted, gave a hum, and turned to leave.

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, both looking up at the ceiling and staying silent to avoid embarrassing Fengzhi.

【34】 Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo glanced at each other, both looking up at the ceiling, staying silent to avoid embarrassing Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi smiled at Yang Yun and said, "Sorry to have made you witness this joke."

【35】 Ning Fengzhi smiled at Yang Yun: "Let Sect Master Yang see the joke."

Setting down his teacup, Yang Yun gently shook his head: "One can see that Sect Master Ning and his daughter get along remarkably well—something ordinary major powers cannot achieve; it's enviable."

【36】 Setting down his teacup, Yang Yun lightly shook his head: "One can see that Sect Master Ning and your beloved daughter get along extremely well—ordinary major powers can't achieve such good feelings; it's enviable."

"What joke are you talking about?"

【37】 "Where does this joke come from?"

"Your daughter's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit has already ascended to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so I've fulfilled my duty; our transaction is complete, and the remaining balance can be settled whenever it's convenient for you, Sect Master Ning."

【38】 "Your beloved daughter's Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda martial soul has already ascended to the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda; then I have fulfilled my duty and can retire; the transaction between us is complete, the remaining balance Sect Master Ning can settle when convenient."

"There's still plenty to do in the fledgling Heaven‑Breaking Sect, so I'll take my leave now."

【39】 "Breaking Heaven Sect still has much to handle in its early founding; I'll take my leave first."

As he spoke, Yang Yun noticed Bone Douluo sneaking out of the hall; he guessed he was going to find Ning Rongrong to ask the question he hadn't voiced.

【40】 As he spoke, Yang Yun saw Bone Douluo sneak out of the hall; he guessed he was going to find Ning Rongrong to ask the question he hadn't voiced earlier.

To prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from taking any action that might jeopardize his future, Yang Yun felt it necessary to reveal his wrist to them.

【41】 To prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect from doing anything that would delay his future, Yang Yun felt it necessary to show off his wrist to the sect.

No sooner had his words finished than Yang Yun rose, and one soul ring after another appeared on his body.

【42】 As his words fell, Yang Yun rose, and one soul ring after another appeared on his body.

When they saw that Yang Yun's final soul ring was still a hundred‑thousand‑year ring, both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo caught their breath.

【43】 Seeing Yang Yun's final soul ring still a hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both caught their breath.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo saw him out the door, saying, "Sect Master Yang, since you still have sect affairs to attend to, I won't keep you longer; once the Heaven‑Breaking Sect is completed, I will certainly pay a visit with congratulations, and we can chat at length then."

【44】 Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo saw him off at the door: "Sect Master Yang, since you still have sect affairs with you, I, Ning, will not stay longer; once Breaking Heaven Sect is built I will surely come to present congratulations, and we can chat at length then."

Yang Yun gave a faint smile, the fire‑dragon wings behind him unfurled and beat, and he shot up into the sky.

【45】 Yang Yun smiled faintly, the Fire Dragon Wings behind him unfurled and flapped; with a beat he shot up into the high sky.

"Sect Master Ning, Sword, Bone—stay where you are."

【46】 "Sect Master Ning, Sword, Bone Douluo, stay."

Not long after Yang Yun left, Bone Douluo slowly emerged from the rippling distortion in the air.

【47】 Not long after Yang Yun left, Bone Douluo slowly stepped out from the rippling distortion in the air.

"Young and promising, a heroic youth indeed; those two hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings mean he must possess at least two hundred‑thousand‑year soul bones."

【48】 "Young and capable, heroic youth; two hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings, meaning he at least has two hundred‑thousand‑year soul bones on his body."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly.

【49】 Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly.

Bone Douluo wore a doubtful expression: "Fengzhi, did I say something wrong? Why are you shaking your head?"

【50】 Bone Douluo's face showed doubt: "Fengzhi, am I wrong? Why shake your head?"

Ning Fengzhi placed his hands together on his cane and said solemnly, "With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's eye for treasures, Yang Sect Master's wings were not formed by condensing soul power; they are something even more precious than a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone."

【51】 Ning Fengzhi placed both hands on his cane, solemnly: "With my Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect's eye for treasure, Sect Master Yang's final wing flare was not formed by condensing soul power; it is something even more precious than a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone."

Sword Douluo crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "An already‑fused external soul bone?"

【52】 Sword Douluo crossed his arms, eyes narrowed: "An already fused external soul bone?"

"Hiss!" Bone Douluo sucked in a breath of cold air.

【53】 Hiss! Bone Douluo sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head again.

【54】 Ning Fengzhi shook his head again.

Sword Douluo, also confused, looked at Fengzhi and said, "Fengzhi, could I be wrong too? Isn't something more precious than a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone just an external soul bone?"

【55】 Sword Douluo also looked puzzled at Ning Fengzhi: "Fengzhi, could I also be wrong? Isn't something more precious than a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone just an external soul bone?"

"His body shows no trace of an external soul bone's aura, meaning it's already fully fused as an external soul bone."

【56】 "His body shows no trace of external soul bone aura, meaning it is already fully fused external soul bone."

Ning Fengzhi turned and walked back inside, saying, "Sect Master Yang's wings are indeed a fused external soul bone—no doubt—but they are not an ordinary external soul bone."

【57】 Ning Fengzhi turned back toward the house, walking and saying: "Sect Master Yang's pair of wings is indeed a fully fused external soul bone, no mistake, but it is not an ordinary external soul bone."

"Observing the wing bones, they are in harmony with the torso's soul power; when the soul power flows, they act as a single, unimpeded whole. I suspect they are external soul bones fused with the torso bones, of exceptionally high quality—surpassing even a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone."

【58】 "Observing the wing bones, they connect with the torso's soul power; when soul power circulates they are a seamless whole, unobstructed; I suspect it is an external soul bone fused with the torso bone, and the soul bone quality is extraordinarily high—surpassing even a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone."
