Chapter 145: Three Strategies

To make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Zhou Heng estimates that it should be a matter of directly adding two extra levels onto the foundation of the seven, first providing a channel for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master to ascend.

Then, through patient effort, fuse the 7+2 Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda together to become a true Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

But as for wanting to artificially create this critical +2 levels, Zhou Heng currently does not have the technical means.

Either his strength and insights must continue to progress, or he needs hundreds of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul Spirit Masters to risk their lives for him to practice on; otherwise, there is no other way for now.

Hearing the word "stable," a trace of surprise could not help but appear on Ning Fengzhi's face.

This matter of stability is indeed a characteristic of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has interbred with Spirit Masters of various different martial souls for how many generations, yet there has never appeared a mutated Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

Not one level more, not one level less, and no other attributes have ever emerged.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the same now as it was when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first began, as if the mixed blood of generation after generation simply did not exist.

Ning Fengzhi withdrew his martial soul and asked Zhou Heng.

"Besides this, has young friend Zhou Heng seen any other problems?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul is complete and possesses no defects.

It is not that the martial soul has some problem that causes Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters to be unable to break through to Spirit Douluo, but rather something more complex.

It is precisely because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has no defects and is too stable that the Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot break through.

The upper limit of this martial soul has been fixed at level 79 since the moment of its birth."

"Eh?"

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat silent; to tell the truth, he would rather Zhou Heng tell him that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could not break through because of a defect than hear Zhou Heng say it could not break through because it had no defects.

Defects can be compensated for, but if one wants to change a complete implement, the difficulty is not just a little bit.

"Is there a way to change the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Ning Fengzhi asked, holding onto a glimmer of hope.

To put it bluntly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has worked hard for thousands of years, and the result is just that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has become a bit wealthier; they themselves cannot even say how many generations of people have researched it, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is still that same old bear of a thing.

If every generation's efforts could have improved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's problem by even one percent, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have solved its martial soul problem a thousand years ago.

"There is a way, but it is very difficult, very difficult, very difficult."

Although Zhou Heng said "very difficult" three times in a row, after hearing it, Ning Fengzhi's expression not only did not sink, but instead improved.

"Difficult is good; difficult means there is a way.

Little Heng, what method does this require? If you can solve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's problem, I will make the decision to betroth Rongrong to you.

If you want your descendants to become the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then your descendants shall be the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If you do not want that, then in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also be your best partner."

Zhou Heng, who had been a wage earner in his past life, had long since had his fill of empty promises. Facing the benefits proposed by Ning Fengzhi, Zhou Heng did not care in the slightest, nor did he pay attention to the red-faced Ning Rongrong on the side; he just went on explaining to Ning Fengzhi and his group.

He held up three fingers and revealed an inscrutable expression.

"I have three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior."

"The superior strategy seeks speed: searching for divine miracles. Divine beings have indeed existed on the Douluo Continent, and there have also been native human Spirit Masters who became gods.

The limitation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is only for mortals; for divine beings who have transcended common sense, it is not a problem. As long as a divine being acts with Divine Power, they will certainly be able to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda undergo a rebirth."

Hearing Zhou Heng's superior strategy, Ning Fengzhi and his group were all somewhat silent.

Seeking gods? What kind of superior strategy is this? Nowadays, the only ones on the continent related to divine beings are the Qian family and the Spirit Hall, but how many years has it been since the Angel God manifested a divine miracle?

If the Spirit Hall really had a way to solve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's problem, they would have long since used this as a bargaining chip to trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But the key problem is that the Spirit Hall also has no way to solve it.

"Divine beings do indeed exist; it is just that under normal circumstances, one cannot come into contact with them. The Douluo Continent actually has many things with extraordinary origins. Many ancestors of Spirit Beasts were Divine Beasts, and god-level existences also left behind many things, but with the current means of Spirit Masters, they cannot be identified, nor can they be utilized for the time being."

Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders and continued to speak.

Like an ordinary strategist, the superior strategy he spoke of was actually not meant for people to choose at all; it was just to make him appear more high-level.

Just looking at this inscrutable expression of Zhou Heng's, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have remembered something, but he did not say much more.

"The middle strategy: seeking Immortal Herbs and Divine Medicine.

Some Immortal Herbs and Divine Medicine on the continent have themselves accumulated energy for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and they inherently contain special laws of heaven and earth.

Once one consumes an Immortal Herb, the harvest is comparable to completely consuming a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, and perhaps even more.

There is no telling how many Spirit Masters on the continent have undergone a rebirth because of Immortal Herbs.

It is just that this thing called an Immortal Herb is truly rare. This thing is not only of great benefit to humans, but it is the same for Spirit Beasts.

This often leads to Immortal Herbs only living in places where almost no life will ever set foot; otherwise, whether it is humans or Spirit Beasts, they will eat them."

"What about the inferior strategy?"

"The inferior strategy: using methods to stimulate the stability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself, using relatively unorthodox means to destroy the stability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself, and then guiding it artificially in the acquired stage, and then stabilizing its origin.

This is a quite long process, and it might sacrifice many people in the process.

But as long as one persists, it can succeed.

Breaking through from level 79 to level 80 should be no problem, but I cannot guarantee what will happen after the breakthrough.

One can only leave behind the bloodlines of Spirit Masters who mutate in an excellent direction through generation after generation of screening, and then screen again."

Although in Ning Fengzhi's view, the inferior strategy is the most reliable.

But as a strategist who also often gives out superior, middle, and inferior strategies in his daily life, Ning Fengzhi knows very well that the so-called superior and inferior strategies appear as foils for the middle strategy.

It is not that these two strategies are unfeasible, but that the middle strategy is definitely more feasible than the upper and lower ones.

"Could it be that young friend Zhou Heng already has a plan for what kind of Immortal Herb or Divine Medicine should be used to change the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

"It is nothing more than herbs with sun, moon, and star attributes, or Immortal Herbs with dragon attributes.

If there is something like a Dragon Pill, one could even attempt to use the Dragon Pill to perform a targeted transformation on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, transforming it into a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul that harbors a Spirit Soul; it would likely change from a Support System to an Attack System or Control System."

"A Dragon Pill?" After hearing Zhou Heng's words, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have thought of something, muttering softly to himself.

For ordinary Spirit Masters or families, something like a Dragon Pill might only exist in legends.

However, when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was mining, they had also encountered several places where giant dragons had fallen, and even occasionally encountered Sub-dragons with the bloodline of a True Dragon.

After all, the nature of a dragon is not only lecherous, but also greedy. The purer the bloodline of a giant dragon, the less it is able to resist shiny things.

Many giant dragons will consciously collect treasures in their dragon nests, or simply live inside mineral veins.
