Chapter 67: Ning Fengzhi Presents a Gift
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whose inherited spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is renowned as one of the strongest support-type weapon spirits on the continent.
But in fact, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has another powerful function that many people overlook: treasure appraisal.
Both its powerful auxiliary abilities and its treasure appraisal skills enabled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to quickly accumulate a vast amount of wealth.
Passed down through generations, the phrase "wealthy and powerful" has long been the defining characteristic of this sect.
Although Ning Fengzhi didn't give away any valuable treasures, ten million gold soul coins was still a straightforward and generous gift!
"What does Sect Master Ning mean by this? Do you think I, Dugu Bo, would care about such trivial matters?"
Dugu Bo actually wanted to accept it, but he couldn't let go of his pride as a Title Douluo.
The other treasures were fine, but the Gold Soul Coin Card was too blatant. He felt that accepting it directly would damage the prestige of a Title Douluo.
"Hey Su, can you do me a favor?"
Dugu Bo's voice transmission echoed in Su Lin's mind.
"Since this is Sect Master Ning's kind gesture, Senior Dugu may as well accept it. I have long heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is as rich as a country, so I suppose this is nothing to Sect Master Ning."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's telepathic message, Su Lin's expression turned somewhat strange, but he still offered him a way out.
"Hmph, if it weren't for you speaking up for them, I definitely wouldn't have accepted it."
Although he said that, a smile still forced onto Dugu Bo's stiff face.
In the past, Dugu Bo wouldn't have cared about ten million gold soul coins.
However, all his wealth was given to Su Lin last time. Although he has now gotten rid of the title of the weakest Title Douluo, he has become the poorest Title Douluo!
Ning Fengzhi's gift of ten million gold soul coins came at just the right time, perfectly pleasing Dugu Bo.
The two were playing a game of cat and mouse, which Ning Fengzhi, an old, could easily see through, but he naturally wouldn't say it out loud.
In any case, the fact that Dugu Bo accepted the gift is a good thing.
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, problems that can be solved with money are not really problems.
In comparison, it is more important to prevent Dugu Bo from harboring resentment about what happened last time.
If we can take this opportunity to befriend them, then it's absolutely worth it, and paying another ten million gold soul coins is nothing!
"Young friend, your talent is astonishing, truly unparalleled in my life. After the Sunset Forest incident, I was often distressed. Today, upon learning that you are unharmed, I am overjoyed and have prepared a small gift for you."
As Ning Fengzhi spoke, a faint light flashed from the ring-shaped storage soul tool in his hand, and a book appeared in his palm.
"Young friend, your spirit is Blue Silver Grass. The distraction control method passed down in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may be of some use to you."
Distraction control techniques!
Su Lin's eyes lit up immediately.
He had been eyeing this secret method for a long time.
It not only allows people to multitask and control multiple soul skills to act on different people at the same time, but also enables precise allocation of soul power.
With each transformation of his spirit, Su Lin's control over the Blue Silver Grass has become much easier. Manipulating a large number of Blue Silver Grass plants at once is not difficult.
However, such manipulation is only in general terms and not precise, and it consumes a lot of soul power.
If he could learn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Control Technique, it would not only greatly assist Su Lin in controlling the Blue Silver Grass, but also allow him to multitask in battle, fully integrating healing, control, and even offense into a comprehensive development.
This should significantly improve his overall strength!
"Boy, since it's Sect Master Ning's kind gesture, then accept it. However, since it's a secret technique passed down through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you mustn't pass it on to others!"
Before Su Lin could speak, Dugu Bo began to cooperate.
"..."
I'm not as reserved as you.
"Then thank you very much, Sect Master Ning. I like this gift very much and will certainly not share it with anyone."
Su Lin hadn't intended to refuse in the first place, and with Dugu Bo's cooperation, he naturally agreed immediately.
"I'm glad you like it, young friend. If you have time in the future, you might as well visit my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and took the opportunity to extend an invitation.
He's not afraid of giving gifts, he's only afraid of not being able to give them properly.
"If I have the opportunity, I will."
Su Lin didn't mind Ning Fengzhi's attempt to win him over; he'd accept the benefits for now and deal with the rest later.
Dugu Bo and Su Lin both received gifts, and Dugu Yan naturally received one as well.
Ning Fengzhi really went all out, giving Dugu Yan a gift that was actually an eight-thousand-year-old soul bone!
In this era, even ordinary thousand-year-old soul bones are of extraordinary value, let alone eight-thousand-year-old soul bones, which are very close to ten thousand years old.
However, compared to Su Lin and Dugu Bo's joy, Dugu Yan was somewhat uninterested.
After all, Dugu Bo already has three ten-thousand-year soul bones, and Su Lin also has an eighty-thousand-year head soul bone.
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning."
She wasn't particularly interested, but Dugu Yan didn't refuse either. She simply followed Su Lin obediently, responding with a sweet and docile expression.
This left Ning Fengzhi somewhat puzzled.
An 8,000-year-old soul bone is already quite valuable in this era.
"Sect Master Ning, Yan Yan is just feeling a little unwell, but she really likes this gift. I'll take her down to rest first."
Su Lin gently squeezed Dugu Yan's soft hand. Having received such a generous gift, he still had to give him some face.
But since I've already received all the gifts, there's no need to deal with this old fox here.
"I see!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized that he had wondered how all three of them could have escaped unscathed that day. They must have been hiding away to heal their injuries.
Su Lin took Dugu Yan away to rest, but Dugu Bo in the hall gradually let loose during his conversation with Ning Fengzhi, Sword, and Bone Douluo.
"That old dragon was indeed quite powerful. If I hadn't been careful and concealed my trump cards to catch him off guard, the outcome would have been uncertain."
"Hmph, he thinks he can kill this old man, little does he know I've been waiting for him to get close!"
"If it weren't for the fact that it was truly against the natural order, the power of my final move would have been a thousand times stronger!"
Even from the back room, Su Lin could imagine Dugu Bo's spittle flying everywhere.
"Grandpa is really..."
Dugu Yan felt a little embarrassed and buried her face in Su Lin's shoulder.
"Although being a Title Douluo is prestigious, Senior Dugu has actually had a difficult time these past few years. Since he has such a rare opportunity, let him go!"
Su Lin gently patted the girl's pink back, quite understanding of Dugu Bo's feelings.
After holding back for so long, it's a rare moment of glory, so what's wrong with bragging a little?
He boasted about it especially in front of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the two titled Douluo, Sword and Bone.
"Grandpa has really worked very hard for me all these years."
Dugu Yan's voice was slightly hoarse. She had been kept in the dark about both her own health condition and the backlash from Dugu Bo's toxins.
But now that she knows everything, she understands how much Dugu Bo has silently sacrificed all these years.
"But...ever since I met my master, everything has been getting better!"
Dugu Yan suddenly raised her head, her red and blue eyes sparkling with joy.
Killing the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would even earn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a great gift, and they would also have to cooperate with Grandpa's boasting...
All these changes started when she met her master!
