Chapter 608: Ning Rongrong Returns: Three Treasures

Hearing Shui Bing'er's reminder, Nan Feiling finally remembered that this was indeed the case, so she ordered, "Take that Ning Rongrong to the Eastern Palace study; the Crown Prince is currently drilling troops at the military camp. Let her wait there for a while, and see that you treat her well."

"Yes!" The guards quickly acknowledged the order and left.

This time, Nan Feiling did not intend to make things difficult for Ning Rongrong. After all, since there was a transaction involved, she would treat the visitor as a guest. As an Imperial Princess, no matter how much she disliked Ning Rongrong, she would not lack even this much magnanimity.

More importantly, if Ning Rongrong really had found some treasure to bring for her younger brother, and she drove the person away, it would be her brother's interests that were damaged.

Nan Feiling still had this much sense of propriety.

"Let's go, we should go notify the Junior Brother," Shui Bing'er said.

Nan Feiling nodded, and the two returned to the military camp to report the matter to Nan Feihuang.

"Oh, Ning Rongrong has come? Heh, she has come at just the right time. Let me see her current strength; if her progress is good, I might even want to make another transaction with her," Feihuang said with great interest.

For one, he did not know what good things Ning Rongrong had managed to dig up, and for another, he wanted to make use of the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Although the Gu Lei Empire currently possessed Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, the three collateral-line women who had married into it had truly mediocre talent; even now, they were only at the Five Rings level, their amplification abilities were insufficient, and most importantly, they were not comprehensive.

The strongest amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lay in the Sixth Soul Skill, Six Says Increase.

Even for the evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the seventh, eighth, and ninth soul skills—aside from the True Body—were generally used for self-preservation or defense.

"Let's go, Third Sister, Senior Sister, let us go meet this little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect together," Feihuang said.

He had already taught the Array Training Method to the commander of the light cavalry; after all, he could not possibly command them in person forever in the future.

Training them now was merely to speed up their familiarity. At this point, handing it over to the commander was sufficient.

Returning to the imperial palace, they saw Ning Rongrong sitting in the Eastern Palace study with Oscar and her only remaining Spirit Douluo subordinate, calmly drinking tea.

In truth, she had already been waiting for quite a while. If it were in the past, she would never have tolerated waiting like this, but at this moment, there was not a trace of anger to be seen on her.

It was as if, let alone waiting for just this little while, she would be willing even if she had to wait for seven days and seven nights.

Compared to before, she had indeed matured a great deal.

Feihuang pushed the door open and walked in. Ning Rongrong immediately stood up, bowed, and performed a salute, "Greetings, Crown Prince, Wushuang Crown Prince!"

She performed two salutes in succession, corresponding to Feihuang's different identities. The thoroughness of her etiquette was such that even if Xue Ke, a top student of Yuexuan, were here, she would not be able to find a single fault.

Ning Rongrong had also studied at Yuexuan; her poor grades in the past were simply because she was unwilling to learn, not because she was slow-witted. Now, having suffered great changes, her personality had transformed significantly.

For the sake of the sect's resurgence, she forced herself to become polite and refined so that she could be on good terms with the major powers. Feihuang also noticed that her current strength was quite good; she had already broken through to the Sixtieth Level, and Oscar was the same. It seemed they had been training very diligently these past few years.

Unfortunately, they could not compare to the original story, as in the original, they had all exceeded the Eightieth Level by the time they returned from Sea God Island.

However, for the current Feihuang, this level of strength already had some utility value.

Oscar also followed Ning Rongrong in saluting. Feihuang nodded at the two, walked to the desk, sat down, and said, "The two of you coming here today, is it related to the content of our transaction from that day?"

"Yes, Wushuang Crown Prince!" Ning Rongrong was very good at grasping Nan Feihuang's current mindset; she knew that compared to the title of Crown Prince, he preferred his title of Wushuang Douluo. "These past two years, I have traveled across the land searching for treasures—Gengxin City, Hanhai City, the border region of the continent, Langya City, and so on. I have finally had some harvest. Please, Crown Prince, take a look at these few treasures and see how they are."

Feihuang had not expected that Ning Rongrong had actually been to so many places.

She must have gone to Gengxin City before the war broke out. Hanhai City was also normal; as a coastal city, it was indeed easy to obtain treasures from the sea.

But this Langya City was not safe. It was a border region of the continent, a "three-no-man's-land" that both the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires could not be bothered to manage, where wolf bandits roamed everywhere.

It stood to reason that because Tang Hao had once cleared out that area, and because Ning Rongrong had the last loyal servant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect left to her by Ning Fengzhi—an Eighty-first Level Spirit Douluo expert—protecting her, she was able to travel to such a dangerous place without incident.

As Ning Rongrong raised her palm, the bracelet-style Storage Soul Guidance Device on her wrist emitted rays of light.

Three items were seen falling out from within.

They were, respectively, a Left Arm Bone, a piece of Whale Glue, and a deep blue gemstone.

"Oh, these few items are indeed quite good." Feihuang first picked up the soul bone and the Whale Glue. "This soul bone, the age is about forty thousand years, right? What kind of Spirit Beast did it drop from? And this piece of Whale Glue, what is its approximate age?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head. "I don't know about the soul bone. Actually, I had originally prepared another one for you. When Oscar and I were hunting for our Sixth Soul Ring, a twenty-thousand-year Torso Bone dropped. I had intended to give you that one, but later, at a large auction house in Binghai City, I saw this forty-thousand-year Left Arm Bone. Under the perception and appraisal of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the preciousness of this soul bone was extremely high, far exceeding my twenty-thousand-year Torso Spirit Bone. Thus, I used that Torso Spirit Bone to trade for this Left Arm Bone. As for the Whale Glue, it should be of the ten-thousand-year level, but I don't know the exact number of years. I only know it is very precious; I don't understand what it is used for at all. This thing is just to make up the numbers; if you don't like it, forget it."

Only the Gu Lei Empire knew the usage of Whale Glue; Ning Rongrong naturally did not know, but since her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda told her it was a treasure, she naturally bought it without hesitation.

Feihuang put the Whale Glue away. In this era, this grade of Whale Glue was still quite rare and could be considered a treasure. Feihuang would not renege on his debt to Ning Rongrong; this piece of Whale Glue was enough to trade for the life of an Elder of the Lower Four Sects, at the very least.

In any case, the Lower Four Sects had also participated in the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back then; he believed Ning Rongrong would be very happy about that.

"As for this soul bone, Xuedi, Bingdi, Tianmeng, can you sense what kind of Spirit Beast this is?" Feihuang asked the Spirit Beast monarchs deep within his heart.

Generally speaking, the preciousness of a Torso Bone was more than twice that of a limb soul bone, yet Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda actually felt that this forty-thousand-year Left Arm Bone before them was stronger than the twenty-thousand-year Torso Bone she had obtained from hunting a Spirit Beast—and it was not just a little bit stronger. This made Feihuang very curious.

Xuedi seemed to be the first to recognize the origin of this soul bone. "This type of soul bone, could it be...?"
