The person in charge of the chamber of commerce sent the auctioned items to Ning Bei's private room. After paying, they returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Arriving at the council hall, Gu Rong summoned Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
"Bei'er, can you see what effect that herb has?"
Ning Bei nodded upon hearing this, took out the unnamed herb auctioned from the necklace, and summoned his Spirit.
Under the gaze of the three, he placed the herb into the first level of the Pill Tower space.
Closing his eyes, he sensed the herb's condition in the Pill Tower, and a piece of information appeared in Ning Bei's mind.
"Father, Bone Grandfather, Bone Grandfather, this herb is called Snake Heart Grass. It has a considerable effect on low-level snake-type Soul Beasts or snake-type Spirit Soul Masters."
The three were amazed that this Spirit could actually identify herbs and know their effects.
"Oh? What effect does this Snake Heart Grass have on snakes?"
Gu Rong curiously asked about the herb's function.
Ning Bei thought for a moment and then looked at the three.
"It has a chance to cause snake-type Soul Beasts or snake-type Spirits to evolve."
"Hmm!"
After hearing the effect of the Snake Heart Grass, the three did not feel excited. The effect on low-level snake-type Spirits was not enough to arouse their interest.
Looking at the expressions of the three, Ning Bei understood their thoughts.
"Have you forgotten that the Pill Tower also has the effect of increasing cultivation?"
The three showed surprised expressions upon hearing this.
"Isn't it only useful for Soul Beasts? What cultivation does this herb have?"
Ning Fengzhi asked doubtfully.
Ning Bei smiled triumphantly.
"Herbs don't really have cultivation, but it can increase its age and efficacy."
"Let's keep it in the Pill Tower first, maybe it will be useful for high-level snake-type Spirit Soul Masters in the future?"
The three looked at each other. Leaving aside the Pill Tower's auxiliary ability, its ability to cultivate Soul Beasts and herbs was simply heaven-defying and must not be exposed.
"Bei'er, you must never reveal the ability to nurture herbs, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Bei with a solemn expression.
Ning Bei also put away his playful smile upon hearing this.
"Understood, Father, I know what's important."
"Yes! Your current focus is still on improving your Soul Power. Don't rush with herbs and Soul Beasts for now. The effect will only be better after your cultivation improves."
Seeing that the matter of the herb had come to an end, Ning Bei took out the lump of ten-thousand-year Whale Jelly from the necklace again.
"Father, two grandfathers, next I want to talk about the Whale Jelly."
The three of them looked at Ning Bei with strange expressions when he took out this thing. Chen Xin even frowned and began to reprimand him:
"Boy, isn't it a little too early for you now? You are the hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you can't afford to waste your energy on this."
Although Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong didn't speak, their expressions showed that they agreed with Chen Xin's words.
Ning Bei sighed slightly when he saw that they had misunderstood.
"Hey~~ Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the ability."
"This Whale Jelly can enhance the physical strength of a Soul Master, the Pill Tower told me."
When in doubt, blame it on the Pill Tower, it's quite useful.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Why have we never heard of it?"
Seeing that they still didn't believe him, Ning Bei offered his suggestion.
"Why don't we just try it? Anyway, there's nothing to lose. Increasing physical strength is also good for absorbing Spirit Rings, right?"
After thinking for a while, they all nodded. Indeed, as Ning Bei said, this matter has zero cost. As for the thousands of Gold Soul Coins to buy ten-thousand-year Whale Jelly, it's almost zero cost for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Then you can try it, Bei'er."
"Okay, please Bone Grandfather use Soul Power to melt the Whale Jelly."
Chen Xin took the Whale Jelly in his hand and melted it into a paste with Soul Power. Then, he took out a large bowl from his Soul Tool, filled it, and handed it to Ning Bei.
Ning Bei thought of the scene of Huo Gua eating Whale Jelly, and didn't dare to drink it all in one gulp. He took a small sip, and a strong fishy smell instantly filled his mouth.
Then, his whole body began to feel hot, and he turned and ran to the square, jumping into the fountain pool.
The three of them also quickly came to Ning Bei's side, afraid that something might happen to him.
They saw Ning Bei in the pool sitting cross-legged and cultivating his Soul Power.
Half an hour later, Ning Bei opened his eyes and walked out of the pool with a smile.
"It's a good thing I didn't gulp it all down, otherwise I wouldn't have had a place to vent."
Ning Fengzhi saw that Ning Bei had finished cultivating and asked:
"How is it, Bei'er? Is it effective?"
Ning Bei heard the sound and felt his body.
"It is effective, but it's very weak. This Whale Jelly needs to be taken for a long time to have a noticeable effect. In the future, please ask Father to bring back more Whale Jelly. This piece is only enough for a week."
Chen Xin heard the words and stepped forward to put his hand on Ning Bei's shoulder, using Soul Power to probe his body. After a while, he turned back and nodded to Ning Fengzhi.
Seeing that the Whale Jelly did not harm Ning Bei's body, Ning Fengzhi readily agreed to his request.
A little Whale Jelly is nothing to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it's just a bit troublesome to go back and forth from the seaside. If it really helps the Soul Master's physical strength as Ning Bei said, then this Whale Jelly is a key item for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Bei'er, you can rest assured to cultivate. I will take care of the Whale Jelly. Also, remember not to spread this matter."
"Understood, Father."
In this way, Ning Bei returned to a regular life, nurturing Soul Beasts and herbs during the day, cultivating Soul Power at night, and taking some Whale Jelly from time to time.
Two years passed quietly. At the age of 8, Ning Bei's Soul Power level reached 20, a cultivation speed that greatly satisfied Ning Fengzhi and the others.
A year of taking Whale Jelly had made Ning Bei's physical strength comparable to that of a mid-level Great Soul Master, and one must remember that Ning Bei was a genuine support-type Soul Master.
In this year, besides handling sect affairs, Ning Fengzhi did not slack off in his procreation efforts, and Ning Bei's mother was pregnant again.
Ning Bei knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's great filial daughter was about to arrive, and at the same time, he sorted out the timeline. That shocking event in the Soul Master World was also about to happen.
Because currently, the Spirit Hall's Pope was still that Secret Room Douluo, Qian Xunji, and Bibi Dong was still the Spirit Hall's Saintess. Ning Bei had only previously found out that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Clan Master's son, the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, was driven out of Spirit Hall because he seduced the Saintess, but he didn't know exactly which year of the plot he had arrived at.
And now, the little witch was about to be born in 10 months. Ning Rongrong and the little runt were the same age. Shortly after Tang San was born, it would be the beginning of the Great Hammer Smashes the Pope incident.
Ning Bei was about 8 years older than Tang San, equivalent to being the same age as Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and others from the original work.
Sure enough, not long after, the news that Spirit Hall's Pope Qian Xunji was severely injured by Clear Sky Sect 's Tang Hao during a Soul Beast hunting process and died from his injuries spread throughout the entire Soul Master World. And Tang Hao, because of his affair with a Soul Beast, went from being an idol in the hearts of thousands to a traitor that everyone could denounce.
Ning Bei couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. There were less than 20 years left before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be destroyed. In these 20 years, Ning Bei must equip himself with the ability to change everything.
Those opportunities that could be intercepted should also be planned for. Rather than relying on the little runt, it would be better to take fate into his own hands.
