Chapter 81: Hello, I'm Ning Fengzhi

"Young lad, that's just a Thousand-year Soul Bone; a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, or even a, 000-year Soul Bone is what's truly splendid. Someone described a, 000-year Soul Bone as dazzling as the bright moon, brighter than the galaxy." The middle-aged man looked at Li Xuan's inexperienced expression, smiled and shook his head.

"Someday I'll obtain a few, 000-year Soul Bones to absorb; I want to see just how beautiful that thing really is." Li Xuan grinned, speaking with high‑spirited determination.

"The young lad has ambition." The middle-aged man, looking at Li Xuan, also smiled and nodded, greatly admiring the vigor in him.

As for what Li Xuan said, the middle-aged man didn't take it to heart.

Everyone has a reckless youth; can you call someone young without being reckless? The next few auction items were Thousand-year Soul Bones, and the last one a Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone.

Li Xuan thought these soul bones were beautiful, but they weren't like absorbing a Thousand-year or even Ten-thousand-year soul bone.

Given enough time, Li Xuan could cultivate a, 000-year spirit beast, even a million-year spirit beast.

At that point, would Li Xuan still lack a, 000-year Soul Bone?

After the final soul bone auction ended, the true finale of the auction was that Patterned Mat that can accelerate cultivation speed.

Li Xuan had no interest in that item, so he thought about leaving.

"Uncle, thank you for your teachings at today's auction; I've benefited greatly and have broadened my knowledge. That Crystal Bead isn't crystal but Liuli, nor a gemstone but a Seed; that's all the hint I can give. I trust you can find the specific information on this Crystal Bead." Li Xuan stood, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said calmly.

Today's auction was also Li Xuan's first formal encounter with the Spirit Master World; he saw Soul Guide Devices and spirit rings, and heard many strange tales from the spirit master world.

Thanks to the middle-aged man's explanation, he also benefited a lot, so to repay the favor, Li Xuan disclosed part of the information about the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower Seed.

"Liuli… Seed?" the middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brows, then lowered his gaze, repeatedly chewing over Li Xuan's words.

"Uncle, I take my leave; may we meet again if fate permits." Li Xuan clasped his fists in a bow to the middle-aged man, then stood up to depart.

At this point the auction had few attendees, so Li Xuan casually asked a maid to take him to pay Soul Coins and receive the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower Seed.

Looking at the pure, crystal‑clear Liuli Seed in his hand, Li Xuan's mouth twitched upward; he hadn't expected to encounter such a treasure.

【Plant: Brahma Sound Glazed Flower】

【Quality: Heavenly Material Earth Treasure】

【Cultivation: 0 years】

【Description: Brahma Sound purifies the world, Liuli enlightens the mind, can dispel heart demons, can increase talent; the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower blooms every thousand years, bears fruit every ten thousand years; consuming the fruit has a certain chance to obtain a Liuli Transcendent Body, while cleansing scriptures and cutting marrow, enhancing talent】

"Haha, finally it's in my hands. I was still wondering what herbs I'd need to combine to absorb the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower for a Liuli Transcendent Body, but according to the description, just eating the fruit is enough." Li Xuan nodded satisfied, then prepared to turn and leave.

But at that moment, Li Xuan suddenly felt a light breeze, and another person appeared before him.

It was the middle-aged man who had just sat beside him answering his questions.

"Young lad, could you sell me the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower Seed you're holding?" the middle-aged man stepped forward, blocking Li Xuan.

"Huh? Uncle, you're quick to react; you figured out what it was so fast." Li Xuan chuckled, saying to the middle-aged man. In fact, from the Soul Guide Device auction, Li Xuan had already guessed who the middle-aged man was.

"It's said the fruit of this rare treasure can solve my martial soul problem; our sect's strongest have roamed the Douluo Continent for centuries without finding a Brahma Sound Glazed Flower, and I almost missed it." the middle-aged man smiled and said to Li Xuan.

"By the way, let me re‑introduce: Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi!" Ning Fengzhi removed his mask, revealing a strikingly handsome face.

Ning Fengzhi's figure was proportionate and dignified, wearing gold‑rimmed glasses; every gesture exuded aristocratic bearing, his handsome visage radiating the authority of long‑held power, both wise and imposing.

"I, a nameless junior, have met Sect Master Ning." Li Xuan smiled faintly, bowing slightly to Ning Fengzhi.

"Whatever you want, I can fulfill; I only need the seed you hold." Ning Fengzhi gave a warm smile, speaking gently to Li Xuan.

"Sect Master Ning, this thing won't be of much use to you— it blooms after a thousand years and bears fruit after ten thousand years; the time is too long." Li Xuan laughed, shaking his head.

"Oh? It actually takes that long?" Ning Fengzhi was also taken aback, not expecting it to require such a span to cultivate.

The Brahma Sound Glazed Flower is indeed rare; it has appeared only a few times on the Douluo Continent. Though the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect has records, they are scant; having a name at all is already fortunate.

"But… I still want this seed; it would be an opportunity left for future generations." Ning Fengzhi's gaze burned as he stared at Li Xuan.

"Sect Master Ning, this item is truly too precious; may I think it over?" Li Xuan helplessly smiled at Ning Fengzhi and said.

"I'm determined to obtain this seed, so I hope you'll part with it willingly." Ning Fengzhi, seeing Li Xuan's hesitation, laughed heartily.

"Hmm… Sect Master Ning, I actually have a matter that needs your help, and I think only your Seven Treasures Glazed Sect can accomplish it." Li Xuan lifted his head, smiling at Ning Fengzhi.

"Oh? What matter?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

"I want to track the whereabouts of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo." Li Xuan said seriously to Ning Fengzhi.

"What do you intend to do?" Ning Fengzhi's brows slightly furrowed, his gaze deep as he looked at Li Xuan.

"Hehe, Sect Master Ning, I don't need to surveil him; I just need to confirm Poison Douluo's location. I have a task that involves him." Li Xuan smiled faintly, meeting Ning Fengzhi's eyes without a hint of fear.

"Do you know how difficult it is to track a Title Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice.

"I can use the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower Seed to evolve your martial soul, solving the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's martial soul issue. How about it— is it worth the sect's effort?" Li Xuan paused, then said earnestly to Ning Fengzhi.

"Fine! I'll trust you this time; I'll compile all information on Dugu Bo, including his whereabouts, within this period. How long will you need to resolve the martial soul problem?" Ning Fengzhi's aura surged, his expression calm yet imposing, putting great pressure on Li Xuan.

"One year; I need a year to solve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial soul issue, but I'll also need all of Dugu Bo's movements during that year and the next." Li Xuan pulled a box from his chest, took out the Brahma Sound Glazed Flower Seed, and showed it to Ning Fengzhi.

The junior thanks all the readers for their love and support; love you all, the weekend is near, perseverance is victory.
