"Since the transaction has been completed, and you have chosen Ning Rongrong as the candidate for the Spirit evolution, why don't we leave now? We can first evolve Ning Rongrong's Spirit at the Exotic Beast Academy, and then go together to hunt the Nine-Segmented Fish Dragon Beast."
Yu Yan, hearing Ning Fengzhi's reply, immediately stated his thoughts. He truly wanted to obtain the vital Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body, as soon as possible.
"Hahahaha, since little friend Yu Yan is so eager, I won't delay either. Allow me to give some instructions, and then we'll depart immediately."
Ning Fengzhi, who had finally seen a glimpse of age-appropriate behavior in Yu Yan, laughed twice, then summoned an Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to explain his impending absence and detail some matters requiring attention while he was away.
After the instructions were given, the three Titled Douluo brought Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yan, and Xiao Wu as they left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together, flying toward the Exotic Beast Academy.
Perhaps because he wanted to quickly witness the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit, Sword Douluo found Dugu Bo's flying speed too slow, so he directly brought Yu Yan and Xiao Wu onto his sword, allowing them to experience the feeling of Flying with a Sword.
At the speed of a Titled Douluo, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu returned to the Exotic Beast Academy in only a quarter of the time it would take to travel to Heaven Dou City.
Standing outside the Exotic Beast Academy, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo swept the area with their mental force and immediately found Ning Rongrong undergoing Special Training. Seeing that Ning Rongrong's spirit power Rank had reached Rank 32, happy smiles appeared on their faces, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo praised Ning Rongrong without reservation.
After confirming Ning Rongrong's location, they did not bother to announce themselves. They openly flew into the Exotic Beast Academy and arrived in front of the building housing the Exotic Beast Academy's Special Training grounds.
Looking at Vice Dean Jiang Jing, who was standing at the door with Martial Soul Possession activated and a vigilant expression, Yu Yan, standing behind Sword Douluo Chen Xin, waved at Jiang Jing, indicating that they were not enemies.
Jiang Jing was not weak. Naturally, she could sense the two streams of mental force sweeping over them without restraint. As one of the strongest people in the academy, she stepped forward without hesitation to confront the unknown enemy.
After seeing Yu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Bo, Jiang Jing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"vice dean Jiang, I am Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I have important business with Rongrong on this visit. Please forgive our rashness."
While Yu Yan and Jiang Jing were signaling to each other, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to Jiang Jing, introduced himself, explained his purpose, and apologized for the group's recklessness.
"I understand. Since you have business with Rongrong, I will call her out now."
With Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, plus the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, standing before her, even if Jiang Jing harbored resentment, she certainly wouldn't voice it.
Douluo Continent is, after all, a World where strength is respected.
Jiang Jing smiled, turned, and entered the Special Training grounds, calling Ning Rongrong out.
Hearing that her father and Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone had come for her, Ning Rongrong, who hadn't seen them for a long time, happily ran out and waved with a smile: "Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, why are you here?"
"We came to see you, and also to talk about something." Seeing that the pampered air had disappeared from Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi patted her head and then turned to Jiang Jing: "We need to discuss something private next. Could you lend us a place?"
"Let's talk at my residence."
Before Jiang Jing could speak, Yu Yan stepped forward and invited them to his residence at the Exotic Beast Academy for the discussion. If this matter were left to Jiang Jing, just figuring out the arrangements would be troublesome.
"Alright."
Ning Fengzhi only needed a place where they could talk; he didn't have any major requirements regarding the specific location.
Secretly giving Jiang Jing a hand signal, Yu Yan led this extremely important group of people to his residence at the Exotic Beast Academy.
Entering Yu Yan's two-story building and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Ning Fengzhi briefly explained the transaction between Yu Yan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He only covered the part about evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit and did not focus on the price the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had to pay.
"Rongrong, you are the person with the highest Innate spirit power in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in recent years. Therefore, I hope that after your Spirit evolves, you will Cultivate diligently and become the first Titled Douluo in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Looking at Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi expressed his expectations.
"Dad, you want to give this opportunity to me?"
Ning Rongrong, who knew how difficult it was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit to evolve, looked at her father Ning Fengzhi, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, her eyes filled with surprise and delight.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhi nodded his head, meeting Ning Rongrong's gaze.
"Rongrong, once your Spirit evolves, you can't be as playful as before. I want to see you become a Titled Douluo soon."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong briefly abandoned his usual doting remarks and explained his expectations to Ning Rongrong.
"That's right, Rongrong. Grandpa Sword also wants to see how effective the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities are."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin similarly hoped that Ning Rongrong could Cultivate to Titled Douluo soon.
No matter how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was Cultivated, its upper limit was Rank 79. Before, it didn't matter if Ning Rongrong wasn't so active in her Cultivation; they didn't force her.
Once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong will be able to Break through the shackles of Rank 79 and continue Cultivating. In the Douluo Continent, where strength is respected, they still hope Ning Rongrong can become stronger.
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I will definitely work hard to Cultivate."
Ning Rongrong had no intention of declining. She understood the meaning behind her father and two grandpas' words; she was indeed the most suitable person, and besides, she really wanted her Spirit to evolve.
After exchanging a few more words, Ning Fengzhi looked at Yu Yan: "Next, we'll have to trouble little friend Yu Yan to show us something truly eye-opening."
"Mhm."
Yu Yan, who was sitting nearby, stood up and took out two stalks of Medicinal Grass from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
"This Immortal Herb is named qiluo tulip. It can cause the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Spirit to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Just as Yu Yan finished his introduction, Ning Fengzhi, who had never understood this kind of knowledge, opened his mouth and asked, "What is an Immortal Herb?"
"Such an object should only exist in the heavens; how often is it heard of in the mortal World? Medicinal grasses that possess miraculous abilities are Immortal Herbs. Immortal Herbs are incredibly rare; there might only be this one stalk of qiluo tulip in the entire Douluo Continent."
To prevent Ning Fengzhi from asking further, Yu Yan directly stated the rarity of the qiluo tulip, stopping him from asking where they could find extra qiluo tulips.
Dugu Bo, having listened to Yu Yan's explanation, wordlessly curled his lip, concluding once again in his heart that he had suffered a great loss.
Ning Fengzhi, realizing Yu Yan did not want to continue explaining, decisively shut up, raised his hand, and motioned for Yu Yan to proceed.
