Chapter 80: Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda!

It was not that Wu Qi had not considered Shui Bing'er of Tianshui Academy.

But the other party's situation was too unique, and he had to abandon the idea of recruiting her.

First of all, Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires joining forces with Xue Wu to be unleashed.

And Xue Wu is merely a Support System Spirit Master, and her support soul skills only provide bonuses to ice and water attribute Spirit Masters, making them too limited.

Imperial Fighting Team Two already has Ning Rongrong, so naturally, there is no need for another Support System Spirit Master.

One wouldn't go to the trouble of making a whole feast of dumplings just for a saucer of vinegar, would one?

Furthermore, the martial soul attributes of Shui Bing'er and the Huo Wushuang siblings are mutually reinforcing yet conflicting; if both sides were in the same team, it would inevitably cause interference, leading to an inability to display their original strength.

By recruiting the Huo Wushuang siblings, Wu Qi decided to let the team develop in the direction of "the wind aids the fire's momentum, and the fire borrows the wind's power"; recruiting Feng Xiaotian was undoubtedly a reinforcement for the team.

Facing his warm invitation, Feng Xiaotian sighed, "To tell you the truth, my grandfather and Grandfather Huo intend for the three of you to join the joint team of Chihuo Academy Academy Academy and Shenfeng Academy Academy Academy."

"It seems impossible now, but if you want us to join your team, you will have to discuss this with my grandfather and the others personally."

"But please rest assured, your strength is very strong, and I do not want to lose a teammate like you; I will help speak on your behalf regarding this matter."

After speaking, Feng Xiaotian cupped his hands and turned to leave.

The mission was already complete, and next he had to return and report the news to the family elders.

……

On the other side, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong's sudden return made Ning Fengzhi feel surprised.

"Rongrong, have you been wronged at the academy?"

Wu Qi had left the academy for a long time, and with no one to help Ning Rongrong, it was highly likely she had been wronged.

Ning Rongrong shook her head, a faint smile always hanging on her face.

Bone Douluo was just about to speak when his expression suddenly stalled, and he asked in surprise: "Rongrong, have you broken through to level thirty?"

Upon sensing carefully, Chen Xin frowned, "That's not right, Rongrong's soul power clearly has a surplus, it's just that without a third Soul Ring, the excess soul power hasn't manifested!"

Ning Fengzhi was greatly alarmed, his expression becoming serious, "How is this possible! Rongrong, did you use some kind of evil method to forcibly increase your strength at the cost of overdrawing your talent?"

With Ning Rongrong's talent, she would be enough to take over the position of Sect Master in the future, but if she went astray, it would inevitably be a major loss for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Pah, pah, pah, Father, two grandfathers, can't you say something nice?" Ning Rongrong held her hands in front of her chest, pretending to be angry.

Gu Rong tried to smooth things over, "Fengzhi, this matter is too suspicious, let's hear what Rongrong has to say first."

Ning Fengzhi suppressed the worry in his heart and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "Rongrong, don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly."

Ning Rongrong chuckled, puffed out her chest, and laughed: "Father, Rongrong's soul power being able to increase so quickly is all thanks to the Immortal Herb that Brother Wu Qi gave me."

"Rongrong originally only had level twenty-seven soul power, but after absorbing the Immortal Herb, my soul power increased directly to level thirty. Just as Grandfather Sword said, Rongrong's soul power didn't just increase by three levels; once I obtain the third Soul Ring, the excess soul power will manifest."

To improve so quickly in one day, what kind of method is this exactly?

Ning Fengzhi asked hurriedly, "Rongrong, what is that Immortal Herb, and does it have any effect on your body?"

Ning Rongrong said huffily: "Father, the Immortal Herb is no ordinary object! Brother Wu Qi said that this thing should only exist in heaven, and is rarely heard of in the human world. Not only was Rongrong's talent not damaged, it was even enhanced."

"According to what Brother Wu Qi said, Rongrong now has the cultivation speed equivalent to innate level eleven soul power!"

As she spoke, she extended her right hand, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul emerged.

Ning Fengzhi did not pay attention at first, until Chen Xin reminded him: "Fengzhi, Rongrong's martial soul is not seven stories, but nine."

"What!" Ning Fengzhi widened his eyes, counted them, and was shocked, "Nine stories, nine colors, the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda! This..."

Ning Rongrong raised her head, revealing a proud posture, "Father, do you know the effect of the Immortal Herb now?"

Unable to care about much else, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly asked, "Rongrong, what exactly is the situation with the Immortal Herb? Does little Wu have any more in his hands? Father is willing to purchase them at a high price."

Ning Rongrong naturally knew the effect of the Immortal Herb, but her heart was with Wu Qi, so naturally, she would help speak for him.

"Father, you cannot be greedy. Brother Wu Qi already said that this is an Immortal Grade item; it is not easy for one to appear on the continent, so how could a second one appear?"

"The month Brother Wu Qi was gone, he wasn't out playing, but out treasure hunting with Senior Dugu, and only then did he discover the Qiluo Tulip that caused Rongrong's martial soul to evolve. Having lost the spiritual energy nourishment of the Immortal Herb, that treasure land has already become desolate, and perhaps a second one won't appear for a thousand years."

Gu Rong couldn't help but ask: "Rongrong, do you know where that treasure land is?"

Even if a second one would only appear in a thousand years, as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect occupied the treasure land, it was not impossible for another Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Spirit Master to appear in the future.

Ning Rongrong pouted her little mouth and put her hands on her hips, "Grandfather Bone, treasures belong to those who are fated; since Brother Wu Qi didn't say, it means he wants that treasure land to wait for the next fated person."

"If the sect forcibly takes it for itself and disturbs the heaven and earth's spiritual energy, the Immortal Herb might not appear even after a thousand years!"

Ning Fengzhi apologized on behalf of Gu Rong, "Rongrong, it was our rudeness. You go back and rest first, and tomorrow morning, let Uncle Bone take you to obtain your third Soul Ring."

"Nowadays, your studies at the academy are very important, don't ask for leave for too long."

Ning Rongrong made a face and turned to leave.

For a time, the great hall was silent, and the three of them looked at each other, each wanting to speak but stopping.

After a long time, Ning Fengzhi was the first to break the silence, "The surprises Wu Qi has brought us are already enough; such a genius must never become an enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Although Ning Rongrong did not say it explicitly, he believed that Wu Qi still had Immortal Herbs in his hands and could "manufacture" geniuses in batches in a short period of time.

If they offend such a genius, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely be sleepless.

"Uncle Bone, how is the background investigation on him?" Ning Fengzhi asked hurriedly.

Gu Rong sighed, "The trail was broken long ago. Back then, that Wang Fang from the Wuhun Shengdian had already been transferred to Wuhun Cheng; this line is simply impassable."

"Sigh, if he is unwilling to speak, we basically cannot find out his origins."

Ning Fengzhi had a splitting headache.

Even if Wu Qi's status in the Spirit Hall were high, he was currently not qualified to make decisions for the Spirit Hall.

Even if he had the heart to contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, without the approval of the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall, it would be in vain.

Chen Xin suggested: "Old Bone, help Rongrong obtain her Soul Ring as soon as possible. Later, I and Fengzhi will go see him again in the name of gratitude."

"This time, our rhetoric must be more aggressive, and we can even reveal our thoughts."

"Since it is confirmed that he is a person of the Spirit Hall, even if we say these things, he will not tell Xue Qinghe, nor will he tell the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

This is a high-stakes gamble.

No one likes playing both sides; once exposed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will inevitably suffer a loss of reputation.
