When Ning Fengzhi heard Yang Xiong's words, his expression grew serious. "Xiong, rest assured, the Seven Treasures Glazed Realm Sect is your home. As long as you don't betray the sect, all its resources are at your disposal. Even if you need soul rings or soul bones in the future, the sect will do its utmost to help you obtain them."
Yang Xiong quickly replied, "Thank you for the sect's nurturing. I will always be a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Realm Sect."
Afterward, Yang Xiong finally witnessed the true wealth of the Seven Treasures Glazed Realm Sect. At Ning Fengzhi's invitation, Yang Xiong joined several sect elders for lunch.
The entire dining table was piled high with all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. Each dish was not only visually appealing and flavorful but also contained many spiritual herbs and high-grade soul beast meat. Just one dish seemed enough to sustain an ordinary person for a lifetime.
However, Yang Xiong felt a bit awkward dining with so many powerful figures for the first time. Ning Rongrong was lively, Ning Fengzhi kept smiling, but Sword Douluo wore a completely expressionless face, and Bone Douluo appeared rather stern, making Yang Xiong feel uneasy and quickly leave after the meal.
Once everyone else had left, only Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo remained. The previously cheerful Ning Fengzhi now looked extremely serious.
"Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, what do you think of this Yang Xiong?"
Sword Douluo replied slowly, "Fengzhi, maybe you are overestimating Yang Xiong. Although this kid has made great contributions to the sect, his innate soul power level six and martial soul still fall short. I'm afraid he won't meet your expectations in the future."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Sword Uncle, this isn't about soul master cultivation talent. Yang Xiong is young but well-read. He must know that now is the golden time to cultivate soul power through meditation. Perhaps this is his own understanding of the martial soul."
"Besides, he has continuously contributed to the sect. That Spiral Sphere technique alone is worth the sect's full support. More importantly, he grew up within the sect and is loyal to it. The sect has long been his home."
Sword Douluo's expression changed. "Then you shouldn't have let Rongrong teach him Focus Control. Rongrong is still young and shouldn't be interacting with others so early."
"I know what you're thinking. You want Rongrong to win him over and pave the way for her to become sect leader someday."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Sword Uncle, you're overthinking. They're still just kids. Things aren't necessarily as you imagine."
"Moreover, a child under twelve who can discover spirit glue multiple times and create a unique soul skill like Spiral Sphere may bring us more surprises in the future. He might be the real hope for the rise of our Seven Treasures Glazed Realm Sect."
Sword Douluo sighed and said no more.
"Bone Uncle, you've been keeping an eye on Yang Xiong. What do you think? Has he lived up to your expectations?" Ning Fengzhi continued.
Bone Douluo snorted coldly, "Yang Xiong is always mysterious. He's young, but I find him hard to read. Given this great opportunity, you let him set conditions, and his demands were so simple. Didn't he ask for cultivation treasures? Does he underestimate our sect that much?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Bone Uncle, I also find Yang Xiong a bit inscrutable. He's far more mature than I imagined. Perhaps it's this maturity that enabled him to develop the Spiral Sphere and contribute so much to the sect."
Bone Douluo was displeased. "His self-developed soul skill is indeed impressive, but his soul master journey is just beginning. He can't even grasp his cultivation direction well. His future is probably limited. I'm increasingly puzzled by his cultivation methods."
Ning Fengzhi said, "Bone Uncle, maybe you're unhappy because a promising defensive cultivation talent seems to be going off track. Perhaps you should find time to guide this kid personally."
Bone Douluo: ...
In the following days, Ning Rongrong orally taught Yang Xiong the last two levels of Focus Control and gave him a soul guidance device for storing living creatures.
Yang Xiong had searched many times throughout Seven Treasures City and even made inquiries through various channels, but soul guidance devices for storing living creatures were extremely rare. Even specialty shops selling soul guidance devices didn't have any. That's why he thought of asking Ning Fengzhi for one.
When Yang Xiong took the soul guidance device from Ning Rongrong's hand, he was overjoyed. Having a device to store living things would make everything much easier.
The device was about ten centimeters in diameter, a gray pouch that was very convenient to carry.
Its interior volume was surprisingly twenty cubic units, containing many gold soul coin cards and various cultivation resources, including several millennium spirit herbs. Even materials needed for Yang Xiong's future body refining and medicinal baths were well prepared, showing careful planning.
Ning Rongrong still showed a little pride. "Little Bear, Sister Rongrong treats you well, right? This soul guidance device is called the Hundred Herbs Pouch. It's specially made to store various medicinal herbs and was carefully selected from the sect's treasure vault. Outside, it's worth at least five hundred thousand gold soul coins."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Rongrong, did you prepare everything inside this pouch? I see quite a few poisonous herbs."
Ning Rongrong's face froze momentarily before explaining quickly, "Those poisonous herbs weren't prepared by me personally but were carefully selected by people I assigned within the sect. Don't mistake my good intentions."
Yang Xiong shook his head watching her childish expression. "Then thank you, Miss Rongrong, for your favor."
Only then did Ning Rongrong proudly nod. "That's better. But next time, can you research something that helps me improve my strength at this stage? Your Spiral Sphere is too difficult to practice. I can't even break the first level water ball yet."
Yang Xiong smiled. "The Spiral Sphere isn't that simple. Each step seems easy, but it requires long-term practice and must be mastered gradually. You should start practicing only after reaching at least Soul Sovereign level, maybe even later."
Ning Rongrong showed a hint of dissatisfaction. "You developed it when you were just a Great Soul Master. With my talent, I should learn it quickly."
After basically mastering the Focus Control formula and methods, Yang Xiong spent several days purchasing many supplies in Seven Treasures City. Ning Fengzhi gave him a full one million gold soul coins this time, enough to buy plenty of materials.
Yang Xiong had lived in the Seven Treasures Glazed Realm Sect since birth. Occasionally, he went to Tian Dou City with his parents. Recently, he planned to visit Tian Dou City alone and had his next cultivation plan ready.
