"Huh?!" Chen Qingling tilted her head, staring at her master's scheming expression, her heart skipping a beat.
She hadn't expected her usually proper master to be so… two-faced.
As the current owner of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo felt as if he'd just eaten something unpleasant, utterly stifled.
If he spoke, he had two Title Douluo glaring at him.
If he didn't, he could only watch helplessly as all the Celestial Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were picked clean.
To speak would hurt, but to remain silent would hurt even more. Being a person was just so difficult!
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, admitting that he was simply outmatched.
If he were just a bit stronger, at the Title Douluo level, he wouldn't have been bullied like this.
He could only watch helplessly as Chen Qingling gathered everything, taking all the Celestial Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving only a small root.
He didn't know how many years it would take for them to grow back.
Star Dou Great Forest, a thatched cottage.
Chen Shenggē watched the scene displayed on the screen and nodded slightly.
"Excellent, excellent! Take them all!"
He had been worried about how to get his daughter to take all the Celestial Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Now, with Dugu Bo's initiative and Chen Xin's help, it was perfect.
All the Celestial Herbs were taken, not leaving a single thing for Tang San.
As for the future of Shrek Academy?
Chen Shenggē didn't care. He only cared about his daughter.
On the screen...
Chen Qingling collected all the Celestial Herbs, but held one in her hands as she went to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, this is the Celestial Herb that can solve your Martial Soul problem, the Qiluo Tulip."
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with gratitude as she took the Qiluo Tulip with trembling hands.
She never imagined that she would solve the Martial Soul problem that had plagued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a lifetime because of a flower, no, a Celestial Herb.
"Father, Mother, Rongrong will fulfill your wish," Ning Rongrong said, moved by the scene, her eyes slightly red, tears falling from her eyes.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other and smiled, genuinely happy for Rongrong.
Resolving the Martial Soul issue had become an obsession for everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Now, the problem was going to be solved in Rongrong's generation.
"Rongrong, eat it."
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, "Qingling, I want to eat the Celestial Herbs in front of my father, so he can witness it with his own eyes. I want to fulfill my father's long-held wish."
"This… alright!"
"Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, let's go back."
"Alright."
This time, Chen Qingling and the others didn't linger and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Only Dugu Bo was left, stumbling and sitting on the ground, his eyes unfocused.
What had he heard?
A Celestial Herb could solve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Martial Soul problem?
Could it be that the first Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, unhindered by its Martial Soul issues, would be born in the world?
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary abilities were already the best on the continent. If she could reach Title Douluo, how terrifying would her support become?
Dugu Bo didn't dare to think any further.
Chen Qingling and her group had safely passed through the Sunset Forest, and the search for the Celestial Herb was coming to an end.
Everyone's faces were beaming with smiles, except for Chen Qingling, who was feeling dejected.
"Qingling, what's wrong?"
"Sister Qingling, are you in a bad mood?"
"Disciple, what's on your mind?"
Clearly, everyone noticed Chen Qingling's poor mood.
Chen Qingling shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, just… I didn't expect finding Celestial Herbs to be so easy…"
"But I'm searching for my mother, and there's not a trace of her."
Chen Xin sighed, "Don't worry too much, disciple. Since you mentioned looking for your mother, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been offering a reward to find her whereabouts."
"It's just… there are so many people in this vast sea of humanity."
Speaking of this, Ning Rongrong pouted, hands on her hips.
"It's better not to talk about it. It makes me angry! Qingling, you wouldn't believe it, some people are so bad!" "To swindle the reward money, they even tried to deceive our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We've exposed dozens of them already."
Chen Qingling looked surprised. She hadn't expected the search for her mother to be so troublesome.
"Rongrong, Master… I really appreciate you two searching for my mother."
"Hahaha, it was nothing."
"Let's go, let's head back while it's still early. I don't want to spend the night outside."
Xiao Wu: "Yeah, yeah!"
Immediately, the group adjusted their state and set off again.
Three hours later, they finally returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Chen Qingling and the others walked into the meeting hall, and Ning Rongrong rushed out first, crying as she threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms.
"Dad!"
Ning Fengzhi was startled by Ning Rongrong's sudden action and immediately squatted down.
"Rongrong, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Daddy, I... I'm just too excited."
"Excited?"
Ning Fengzhi, already puzzled, felt completely bewildered.
His gaze then fell on Chen Xin and Gu Rong, wanting to know what had happened on this trip.
However, they both remained silent, waiting for Rongrong to tell Ning Fengzhi herself.
"Daddy, Rongrong has found a way to solve the problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul!"
"What?!"
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in shock.
Finding a way to solve the problem with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?
Those words echoed in Ning Fengzhi's mind. After a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, heaven is blessing my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Immediately afterward, Ning Rongrong broke free and, with a thought, produced the Qiluo Tulip.
"Father, this is the Celestial Herb that solves the Martial Soul problem."
"Good, good, good. Rongrong, quickly consume it." Ning Fengzhi had no thought of keeping it for himself. He was already old, and consuming it would likely do little to help him reach Title Douluo.
Unlike Chen Qingling, Ning Rongrong's talent wasn't as exceptional, but she was still the most gifted within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Giving Celestial Herbs to Rongrong was the best choice!
Under the watchful eyes of Ning Fengzhi and the others, Ning Rongrong consumed the Celestial Herbs and sat cross-legged.
After an hour and a half, Ning Rongrong had absorbed the medicinal effects of the Qiluo Tulip, feeling as if she were floating.
"Rongrong, do you feel alright?"
Ning Rongrong spread her hands, and dazzling light enveloped the meeting hall, revealing a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to everyone present.
Ning Fengzhi trembled with excitement and joy.
"Good! Good! Wonderful!"
"Rongrong, your Martial Soul has evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Following that, Ning Fengzhi noticed that Ning Rongrong's soul power level had also advanced rapidly, reaching level nineteen!
"I didn't expect that a Celestial Herb would not only evolve your Martial Soul but also increase your soul power level so much."
"Uh… let's wait a few days. Then, I'll have Uncle Jian take you to hunt a soul beast to obtain a soul ring."
"No, I don't want to!"
"I want to wait until Qingling's soul power level advances another level, then we can go together to get our soul rings."
"This…" Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth to speak, "Alright, as you wish, Rongrong."
Thinking of Chen Qingling's special identity and excellent talent, Ning Fengzhi wasn't worried that it would take long to advance a level.
