Chapter 58: Seven Treasures Break the Glazed Tile, Are You Asking for a Slap in the Face?

After the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect spent more than a day constantly explaining, no one came to explore Mingling Mountain anymore.

However, Ning Fengzhi, who was inside Heaven Dou City, did not go directly to find Sun Hong, but instead checked through the official channels of Heaven Dou City.

Yet, he didn't know until he checked; upon checking, he discovered that Mingling Mountain had already been leased by a person named Lingxu.

Who Lingxu was, they did not know.

If they went to ask Sun Hong, he would certainly state the identity of Ling Bufan, but they were hearing the name Lingxu for the first time as well.

"Fengzhi, what do you intend to do?"

"To think they were several days faster than us; it seems this person named Lingxu knew the situation inside beforehand and leased it for thirty years in advance!"

Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi; if they didn't use extraordinary means, it would be very difficult to lease it back.

Ning Fengzhi said: "Do you see the noble mentioned above? It should be Baron Sun Hong. Find him, and we will offer double, or even five or ten times the price to lease it."

Sword Douluo frowned and said: "Hasn't this contract already been drawn up? It also holds effect within the Heaven Dou Empire."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said: "So what? Even if there is a contract, it can be voided; at worst, we just breach it."

"How much could their breach of contract penalty be?"

"As long as the price is right, we will just pay it."

"The prerequisite is only that Sun Hong is willing; we will stand behind him."

For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which is as wealthy as a nation, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"Uncle Sword, let's go. Sun Hong's address is also on here, but it would be best to have his detailed information," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Haha, Fengzhi, as expected of you!" Sword Douluo praised.

Subsequently, Ning Fengzhi ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence personnel in Heaven Dou City to collect information on Sun Hong.

It took less than half a day for the information on Sun Hong's family to appear in Ning Fengzhi's hands.

Looking at this information, Ning Fengzhi smiled.

The rent for this Mingling Mountain was not particularly high, only 110,000 Gold Soul Coins.

However, these 110,000 Gold Soul Coins could only solve the urgent needs of Sun Hong's family, and he had no way to fulfill his wish of sending his son to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

In short, this Sun Hong family was currently very short of money and needed a large amount of Gold Soul Coins.

And when investigating this Sun Hong, Lingxu was also mentioned.

Lingxu was the son of the current Spirit Hall Branch Hall Master Ling Bufan, and Ling Bufan also had level 84 soul power.

As for the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi had never feared them, and he was even less afraid of an 84th-level Spirit Douluo.

After all, the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo by his side were both Title Douluos; if he were afraid, he wouldn't be Ning Fengzhi.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi had a vague feeling in his heart that inside Mingling Mountain was something their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed; perhaps there was a way to make their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve.

Mingling Mountain had a mysterious defense that even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could do nothing about; how could it not make him tempted?

He would spare no cost to make Mingling Mountain his own.

"Uncle Sword, let's go find Sun Hong. This matter will most likely succeed," Ning Fengzhi said.

Sword Douluo nodded with a smile and said: "Good, Fengzhi, I trust you to handle things!"

The two went together to find Sun Hong, while Lingxu was cultivating alone in the Lingxue Sacred Land.

Furthermore, he discovered that the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art actually had a bonus effect when cultivated within this Lingxue Sacred Land; although it was not much, only 10%, in the long run, this 10% would have a great effect.

While cultivating, Lingxu was also observing the Bone Douluo on the perimeter.

This guy was truly diligent enough to make everyone who came think that this Mingling Mountain was an asset of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Fortunately, Lingxu had completed the formal procedures, so even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to seize it, they would be in the wrong.

Secondly, Lingxu had already anticipated that after he finished developing Mingling Mountain, he would need to prevent Sun Hong from breaching the contract.

Therefore, Lingxu had clearly written in the contract that the breach of contract penalty would be decided by the lessee, Lingxu, himself, so there was no accurate figure written on it.

For this requirement, Lingxu had even paid an extra 1,000 Gold Soul Coins.

And when Ning Fengzhi saw the contract in Sun Hong's hand, he smiled.

Originally, he had been prepared to pay a breach of contract penalty of millions of Gold Soul Coins, but now, as long as he operated correctly, he would only have to pay the rent.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Sun Hong and said: "Sun Hong, I want this Mingling Mountain of yours."

Sun Hong said somewhat awkwardly: "Sect Master Ning, but I have already leased it out. If you want it, how about after thirty years?"

Ning Fengzhi held up three fingers and said: "I offer 300,000 to get this land back for me."

"But, this contract has already been drawn up. If I breach it, I have to pay a penalty, and it will also cause me to offend Lord Ling Bufan of the Spirit Hall," Sun Hong said, feeling somewhat troubled.

Ning Fengzhi said: "Leave the amount of the breach of contract penalty to me to handle; you only need to breach the contract."

"But, this..." Sun Hong was still hesitant. He really wanted to agree—after all, it was 300,000 Gold Soul Coins, which was already enough for them to use—but offending Ling Bufan, he feared he would have the money but no life to spend it.

But if he didn't agree, he would offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"400,000!" Ning Fengzhi held up another finger.

"I..." Sun Hong was still hesitating.

Ning Fengzhi held up all five fingers of one hand and said: "500,000, plus your family can join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and all expenses for your son's schooling at the Tiandou Royal Academy will be covered entirely by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What do you think?"

With these words from Ning Fengzhi, Sun Hong had absolutely no more worries.

Ling Bufan might be strong, but how could he be a match for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

"Very well, Sect Master Ning, I'll risk it. After I breach the contract, I will lease this land to you," Sun Hong decided.

As long as the lease was completed, their family would truly be wealthy.

500,000 Gold Soul Coins was not a small sum.

110,000 Gold Soul Coins could only solve the family's immediate problems and allow his son to attend an ordinary Advanced Spirit Master Academy in the future.

300,000 Gold Soul Coins could not only solve the family's problems and allow the family to live better, but also allow his son to attend the Tiandou Royal Academy.

And with these 500,000 Gold Soul Coins, the money for his son to attend the Tiandou Royal Academy would be fully covered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and by joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and having them as a protective umbrella, the family's future would be bright.

Ning Fengzhi held the contract in his hand and said, "Then I will take this contract; as for the specific breach of contract fees, I will handle it, so you don't need to worry."

In the eyes of Ning Fengzhi, obtaining Mingling Mountain was as easy as pie.

"Uncle Jian, shall we return to the sect first, or send some more Spirit Masters? This Lingxu is not even eleven years old yet; let's first investigate the information on Ling Bufan's family, and tomorrow we can go directly to find Ling Bufan."

"Very well!" Sword Douluo nodded.

By that night, Lingxu discovered that there were many more Spirit Masters outside Mingling Mountain.

Led by Bone Douluo, there was a group consisting of two Spirit Douluos, as well as about thirty Spirit Saints and Soul Emperors.

The people who came were not weak; they had actually surrounded the entire Mingling Mountain.

Watching all of this, Lingxu frowned slightly and thought to himself: Damn Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, you've got some nerve, haven't you?
