Seeing this, Xu Tianyang felt a little relieved, but then he heard Xu Sheng's indifferent words, and his heart, which had just settled, rose again.
"At most, we'll just give up this Spirit Bone and let them fight over it."
"Hahaha, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has truly opened Fengzhi's eyes." Just then, a light laugh came, and Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, and Chen Xin, walked towards Xu Tianyang and the other two.
"I don't deserve such praise from School Master Ning. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the wealthiest in the world; we are merely showing off our paltry skills before an expert." Seeing them arrive, Xu Sheng also stood up and cupped his hands. This was the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects, and a Titled Douluo at that. He didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"With such strength, old sir, why has Fengzhi never heard of you? Please enlighten me, old sir." Ning Fengzhi's demeanor was impeccable, showing respect for the wise and humble. For a Sect Master to act in such a way, it was no wonder he could develop a Sect whose main Spirit was primarily composed of Spirit Masters with no offensive power, to its current state.
With the Clear Sky Sect in seclusion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already subtly become the number one Sect in the world, with two Douluo in one family, enjoying boundless prestige for a time.
"My name is Xu Sheng. I do odd jobs in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. These two are my grandnephew and grandniece-in-law, Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang. As for our origins, you will all know shortly, and I hope you won't be too surprised." Xu Sheng smiled, stroking his long beard, unwilling to reveal any useful information to them in advance.
"Greetings, School Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang greeted politely.
"So it is Elder Xu." Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi didn't press further. With a refreshing smile, he pulled Ning Rongrong over and introduced her, "This is my daughter, Ning Rongrong. She's here to broaden her horizons."
"This is Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
"Greetings, Elder Xu (Senior)." Qian Renxue and Ning Rongrong respectfully (and obediently) bowed to Xu Sheng.
"I've heard much about the names of School Master Ning and the others." Xu Sheng chuckled and nodded. Looking at Ning Rongrong, who had taken out a Level 3 Invincible Barrier, he smiled kindly and said, "A small trinket. Take it and play with it!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong looked up at Ning Fengzhi, and only after he nodded did she accept the strange item, curiously turning it over in her hands, examining it.
"This is a Level 3 spirit tool called an Invincible Barrier. It requires the cultivation of a Spirit Elder to activate. A Level 3 Invincible Barrier can withstand the attacks of a five-ring Spirit King for three seconds without breaking." Seeing them look at the Invincible Barrier in Ning Rongrong's hand with confusion, Xu Sheng explained, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, they all gasped, looking at Xu Sheng in shock. Ning Fengzhi was even more eager, looking at Xu Sheng and asking, "Is Elder Xu's statement true?"
"The item is right here. If you don't believe it, you can take it back and try it." Xu Sheng said leisurely.
"Elder Xu has truly given Fengzhi a great gift." Ning Fengzhi looked at the Invincible Barrier in Ning Rongrong's hand. This gift truly touched Ning Fengzhi's heart.
As for whether it was fake, he believed that with the other party's strength, they wouldn't stoop so low as to fabricate something that could be easily verified. If that were the case, then the spirit tools they had seen along the way were probably extraordinary.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had heaven-defying support effects, it was ultimately a support system Spirit Master, with weak personal strength. This Invincible Barrier could potentially give a Spirit Master an extra life.
Reluctant to suggest returning it, Ning Fengzhi looked at Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang, and a thought stirred in his heart. Since the other party had given such a generous gift, he naturally couldn't be stingy. After a moment of thought, he took out a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets and handed them to Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang.
"These are a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets made from Blazing Sun Jade. Spirit Masters who wear them will have a calm mind and nourish their bodies. I will give them to you two young friends today."
"Thank you, School Master Ning."
Xu Tianyang glanced at Xu Sheng, seeing his posture of keeping his eyes down, and gave a silent thumbs-up. He hadn't expected his third grand-uncle to outmaneuver Ning Fengzhi. Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
He unceremoniously accepted the bracelets, handing the phoenix bracelet to Xu Nianshuang. After receiving it, Xu Nianshuang examined it with interest. It wasn't that she liked it that much, but because it was a matching pair with Xu Tianyang's.
"Elder Xu, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has profound heritage. May I ask how this Spirit Bone is to be traded?" After some brief conversation, Ning Fengzhi finally turned his gaze to the Spirit Bone in the nearby display case.
Even he was startled by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's grand gesture. A Spirit Bone could completely serve as the foundation of a Sect's legacy. Although this Spirit Bone was a thousand-year Spirit Bone, it was no worse than a typical ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, practically a top-grade item, and rarely would anyone put it up for auction.
"This Spirit Bone is not traded for money, but through bartering. If School Master Ning wishes to trade, you can tell me the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's offer." Xu Sheng's face showed a foxy smile as he looked at Ning Fengzhi with interest.
After putting out this Spirit Bone, they had already made predictions: only Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and the Upper Three Sects could offer a price that would satisfy them, and among them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was at the forefront.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep look at Xu Sheng, then walked to the side with him, beginning to discuss the terms of the trade. He would not give up on the Spirit Bone easily. As long as a trade was possible, compared to treasures, who would his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fear?
"Tianyang Gege, how do you have so many spirit tools? Do you know how to make spirit tools?"
"And, and, Grandpa Xu just said this is a Level 3 spirit tool, so if there's Level 3, are there also Level 4, Level 5?"
After Ning Fengzhi and Xu Sheng walked away, Ning Rongrong gracefully approached Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang, smiling sweetly, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity as she asked.
Seeing this, the remaining four's eyes subtly shifted. Chen Xin and Qian Renxue both looked at Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang with curiosity; they too were extremely curious about this matter.
The technique for spirit tools on the Douluo Continent had long been lost. Existing spirit tools were all ancient relics. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion could actually produce spirit tools in piles, clearly indicating that the other party had a complete inheritance.
This was probably related to the origins of Xu Tianyang and the others.
Xu Tianyang looked at the curious Ning Rongrong. She appeared well-behaved, but he knew she was a 'pink-haired villain,' not as simple as she seemed on the surface.
"The levels of spirit tools are the same as Spirit Masters, divided into one to nine levels, corresponding to the Spirit Master's level. As for the origin of these spirit tools… that is a secret of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion and not to be divulged." Saying this, Xu Tianyang gave the three of them a meaningful smile.
Seeing the smile on Xu Tianyang's face, Chen Xin and Qian Renxue already had their answers in their hearts, and a few more points of vigilance towards this mysterious Myriad Treasures Pavilion arose within them.
From that Invincible Barrier, it could be seen that the boost in strength provided by spirit tools was probably not to be underestimated. How strong a force with a spirit tool inheritance could be was perhaps difficult to estimate.
