. As the strongest support-type spirit, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's usefulness on the battlefield is undeniable, but it also has its flaws.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is called Seven Treasures not just because it has seven layers, but more importantly, because it can only accommodate seven spirit rings, two fewer than any other spirit. This is a key reason why, even as the Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi remains at level 79, unable to break through to the next level.
Soul Douluos require the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
As for Titled Douluos, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is required.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a solemn brilliance. "I really want to know what kind of genius this clan leader is. Remember the revolver I gave you last time? He bought it at the auction."
"Wow! Dad, I'd forgotten if you hadn't told me. He seems to have many more styles! I saw an even more powerful one before I came back today," Ning Rongrong said excitedly.
Changing the subject, Ning Fengzhi winked at Jian Douluo.
Jian Douluo agreed, saying, "At thirteen, he's already a Soul Sect master. And he gifted Rongrong a divine object. He's truly worthy of being our grandson-in-law."
Due to the Clan's influence, the Shrek Seven Devils hadn't experienced life and death together in the Star Dou Great Forest, so Ning Rongrong naturally wouldn't fall for Oscar.
Ning Rongrong blushed. "Grandpa Jian, don't talk nonsense. Clan's already found someone. How could he and I possibly be together? I..." At that moment, every moment of her encounter with Clan's leader flashed through Ning Rongrong's mind.
From their first meeting at the mask stall, she'd struck up a conversation because of his striking appearance and a sense of familiarity.
In Soto City, Zhu Zhuqing recounted how she met Clan's leader. At that moment, Ning Rongrong recalled how, at the age of seven or eight, she'd gotten separated from the Clan's guards while playing around and encountered a villain. A passing young man had saved her and helped her find the guards, but she couldn't quite remember what he looked like.
It wasn't until yesterday, when Liu Erlong questioned him, that the clan leader recounted his own experiences. When he mentioned how, when he was seven or eight years old, he had helped a lost little girl find her family and taken her to see the goldfish,
Ning Rongrong's excitement was unbearable. But a glance at Zhu Zhuqing beside her quelled her excitement.
Ning Rongrong finally remembered why she felt a sense of déjà vu towards the clan leader. The little girl he had taken to see the goldfish was none other than herself. Her hair had originally been short, but she had grown it long after the clan leader had once commented that it looked better.
Whenever Ning Rongrong recalled the clan leader taking her to see the goldfish, and how he had lied to her and called her "husband," her heart would be filled with a pang.
Just this morning, the clan leader had retrieved the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Although Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had successfully caused the Red to fall from the Black Stone, it seemed to have found its owner and had returned to the stone.
Even Ning Rongrong didn't know where she found the courage. After hearing the clan leader's poignant love story, her mind flashed back to their past encounters, as well as the time they'd watched the little goldfish together when they were seven or eight years old. Instinctively, she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Acacia Heartbreak Red. Though her picking wasn't as smooth as Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's, she still succeeded.
This proved her true feelings for the clan leader.
Ning Fengzhi naturally observed Ning Rongrong's reaction. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile. A master of reading expressions, he could tell his precious daughter was already distracted.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Hearing what you said, I'll definitely find a time to meet this clan leader! After I obtain your third spirit ring, I'll go. After all, it would be a shame if we didn't express our gratitude for giving you such a precious immortal herb. And by the way, let's ask if he's willing—"
"Ah! Dad, don't. The clan leader already has a girlfriend, and they're very close. There's no way we can get together," Ning Rongrong waved her hand, hastily denying.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. His precious daughter's affection was clearly written all over her face. And yet, she was still holding on. The clan leader's girlfriend, it seemed, must be the girl he'd seen at the auction last time. She was indeed quite talented, even better than his daughter. As long as the clan leader could be recruited into the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she would surely join too. Buy
one, get one free, it was a good deal. As for the clan leader taking on more wives, Ning Fengzhi didn't care. It was normal for men to have three or four wives! He himself had more than one wife. As long as he was sincere to his daughter and provided good assistance after he took over as Sect Master, that would be all that mattered.
Ning Fengzhi said, "I want to ask him how many firearms he has left and whether he's willing to sell them in bulk to our sect. Ideally, he could also share the manufacturing methods with us. I asked the sect's craftsmen to take a look, and while the gun's construction isn't complicated, we can't make the bullets."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong blushed again, knowing she'd been tricked. In
a
flash, a week had passed since the clan's distribution of the immortal herbs.
During this time, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had both obtained suitable spirit rings.
Although Xiao Wu had consumed the Transformation Pill, completely eliminating her spirit beast aura, she still retained her transformed spirit beast's innate abilities. The clan deliberately arranged for Xiao Wu to be separated from Liu Erlong in the Sunset Forest and found a secluded location for her to condense a spirit ring.
Just like in the original novel, Xiao Wu gained her fourth spirit skill—Invincible Golden Body—which grants absolute defense for three seconds against those below the Divine level. Her strength doubled, increasing by one second for every ten levels, with the invincibility duration equal to the power increase.
Simultaneously, Xiao Wu's level soared to level 42. In other words, the Wonderful Mushroom Chrysanthemum indirectly increased Xiao Wu's spirit power by nearly six levels.
Zhu Zhuqing's third spirit ring was slightly different from the "Netherworld Slash" in the original novel. It was obtained by the clan through exploration of the Blue Silver Domain and system information reading. It was taken from a mutated two-headed wolf, 1,700 years old.
Perhaps due to this soul beast's exceptional affinity with Zhu Zhuqing, she gained her third soul skill, the Netherworld Twin Blades. This allows the claws of each hand to fuse into a foot-long blade, capable of severing metal and jade. This powerful blade is capable of easily severing the Blue Silver Emperor vines, which were blessed with the clan's first soul skill. If both blades are fused together, their power is greatly increased.
Notably, Zhu Zhuqing's level soared from 30 to 38 under the influence of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. This means that, excluding the effects of the soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing gained an additional seven levels of soul power.
As for Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, they have not returned since returning to the clan.
