"Oh? Uncle Jian's evaluation of him is so high?" Ning Fengzhi said with a faint smile.
Chen Xin nodded and slowly said, "His soul power exceeds level forty, and he's at most thirteen or fourteen years old. I wonder which family he belongs to."
"Thirteen years old?" Ning Fengzhi could no longer remain calm and exclaimed in surprise.
Ning Fengzhi had a special soul skill that allowed him to discern a soul master's soul power. In his perception, Lu Feng's soul power was indeed above level forty.
However, he hadn't expected Lu Feng to be so young.
Among the soul masters recorded on the continent, his talent was enough to rank him in the top ten.
"I wonder how Qinghe met him. Such a brilliant person, I've never heard of him before," Ning Fengzhi sighed.
As a supporter of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a very close relationship with the royal family.
However, in Ning Fengzhi's heart, the sect's interests far outweighed those of the empire.
If given the opportunity, he would definitely try his best to bring Lu Feng to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi lowered his head slightly, his eyes thoughtful. "I wonder what that kid likes. Perhaps I can take advantage of the weapon forging opportunity to win him over."
"Fengzhi, let's go," Chen Xin said calmly.
Although Chen Xin was somewhat surprised by Lu Feng's talent, he only sighed.
He had seen too many geniuses in his life.
A surge of soul power rose from Chen Xin, enveloping the two of them. Then, the two of them took to the air and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
In the VIP room.
"Lu Feng, have you made up your mind? To sell these weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Qian Renxue frowned as she looked at the messy weapons on the table.
After Ning Fengzhi left, Lu Feng showed Qian Renxue several hidden weapons.
Triple crossbow, Seven Star Crossbow, Sand-Spitting Shadow...
With each item Lu Feng took out, Qian Renxue's mood grew heavier.
The most powerful one, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, actually possessed the power to kill a Soul Master with an ordinary person.
If all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were equipped with these weapons, their combat power would rise several levels.
Frankly speaking, they would already possess the qualifications to become the number one sect in the world.
"Your Highness, why do you seem a little unhappy? Are you and Sect Master Ning just master and disciple in name only?" Lu Feng chuckled.
"Brother Lu, the relationship between a sect and an empire isn't as simple as you think," Qian Renxue shook her head.
"No emperor wants a tiger lurking next to his palace,"
Lu Feng's lips curled into a sly smile. "Brother Qinghe, I'm giving you these blueprints for free. If the Heaven Dou Empire's million-strong army were equipped with these weapons, even ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools could easily take them down."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Lu Feng; naturally, she wouldn't tell him that her position as crown prince was a dud.
Forget a million-strong army; even if only a hundred thousand were equipped, her 'sister' from the Spirit Hall would probably lose sleep.
"This guy has really given me a big problem." Qian Renxue looked up at Lu Feng, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
Back in Notting City's Spirit Hall, she had been attracted by Lu Feng's 'selflessness'.
Their second meeting at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy revealed that Lu Feng was actually a self-serving individual. Everything he did was ultimately for his own benefit.
Now, looking at the various weapons on the table, Qian Renxue felt a jumble of thoughts.
Her intuition told her that whether he was selling weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at a high price or giving them away for free, he definitely had ulterior motives. With
over ten years of experience in the underworld, Qian Renxue knew perfectly well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Whoosh."
Qian Renxue waved her hand, collecting all the weapons from the table.
"Brother Lu, I will remember this kindness. Qinghe will definitely repay it in the future," Qian Renxue said solemnly.
Regardless of Lu Feng's intentions, the priority was to retrieve the blueprints. However, the destination wasn't the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, but the Spirit Hall.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Nestled among the mountains, a bustling city rose from the ground.
Seven Treasure City was much smaller than Heaven Dou City, less than a tenth its size. Yet, this was merely a sect, a place where a few thousand people lived.
"Pah, rich dog!" Lu Feng muttered under his breath, looking at the eighty-meter-high city walls.
From the outside, it was undeniably built according to the standards of a capital city.
Entering the city, one felt a sense of vast emptiness. A straight avenue stretched out before a pagoda-shaped building over two hundred meters tall came into view.
Two squads of knights in gleaming silver armor stood imposingly on either side of the pagoda. An uninformed person might mistake it for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Mr. Lu, the sect leader and elders are waiting for you," a servant at the entrance said respectfully.
Lu Feng nodded, casually glancing at the man. Based on Luo Wupao's keen intuition, this ordinary-looking man was a powerful expert with a soul power exceeding level fifty.
A Soul King was powerful enough to support a small family. Yet, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was merely a gatekeeper.
Entering the council hall, the space was easily over a thousand square meters. The luxurious, retro decorations were striking; Lu Feng glanced around, recognizing only gold.
Everything blatantly proclaimed wealth.
At the far end of the hall, Ning Fengzhi, dressed in a pristine white robe, sat on the central sofa.
To his left was an elderly man with white hair and beard, also in a snow-white robe. His eyes were slightly closed, yet he exuded an aura of supreme authority.
To his right, the old man was gaunt, his muscles and skin withered. His frame was astonishingly large, making the originally spacious sofa appear considerably smaller.
"Brother Lu Feng, you've finally arrived," Ning Fengzhi said, standing up with a smile.
As he moved, the two elders beside him also stood up and nodded slightly to Lu Feng.
Both Title Douluos had seen the weapon Ning Fengzhi had brought back.
To them, the weapon's power was less than a finger's width, but they saw in it an opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to advance further.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ning, greetings to the two seniors," Lu Feng said solemnly, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
He and Ning Fengzhi were like brothers, but in front of Title Douluos, Lu Feng restrained his manners.
"Haha, Brother Lu Feng, no need for formalities. Make yourself at home here,"
Ning Fengzhi said, pulling Lu Feng to sit beside him.
He showed no airs of a sect master, genuinely treating Lu Feng like a nephew.
Lu Feng smiled calmly and said, "Sect Master Ning, the weapon materials should be as specified in the blueprints. As for the manufacturing process, I will personally demonstrate it."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about forging. I'll prepare a small banquet to welcome Brother Lu. Later, I'll arrange for someone to show you around and let you appreciate the scenery of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Feng's lips. Putting everything else aside, Ning Fengzhi's manners were indeed impeccable.
Ning Fengzhi's courteous manner made Lu Feng feel somewhat embarrassed to scheme against him.
Lu Feng's sale of weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't just about making some pocket money. More importantly, he was scheming against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall.
In the original story, Tang San sold many hidden weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. During the Soul Hunting Operation, the Spirit Hall dispatched four Title Douluos, but they only severely injured the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not annihilating them.
Lu Feng revealed information about these hidden weapons in front of Qian Renxue, and even gave her the blueprints. Naturally, he hoped that the Spirit Hall would deploy a more elite force in the future.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Lu Feng planned to give them a few more large weapons.
Ideally, both sides would perish together.
This way, Lu Feng would have the opportunity to plan for maximum benefit.
