Chapter 231: The Strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong Takes a Master
Hearing Yun Yuan's reply, Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly.
"Thank you, Atlas God. Having this opportunity alone is already more than Fengzhi could ask for."
As for whether he could persuade the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, Ye Qingxian, to accept Ning Rongrong as her disciple, that would depend on Ning Fengzhi's own abilities.
"Alright. As for what comes next, discuss it with the person beside me. She is the one truly in charge of Spirit Hall."
After saying that, Yun Yuan's figure vanished from Spirit Hall and returned to his own Atlas Hall.
If Ning Fengzhi hadn't specifically requested to meet him today, he wouldn't have appeared in Spirit Hall at all.
"Sect Master Ning, please continue..."
For the next while,
Bibi Dong discussed the specific arrangements regarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joining Spirit Hall with Ning Fengzhi.
The thing Bibi Dong valued most about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was its financial strength.
Although Spirit Hall had already become the wealthiest faction on the continent after Yun Yuan's previous reforms, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was by no means to be underestimated.
Its wealth rivaled that of an entire nation. Even the combined wealth of the entire Heaven Dou Empire might not equal that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Besides that, the sect's military strength is considered the greatest among all factions, except Spirit Hall.
The once-dominant Clear Sky Sect had already been destroyed by Spirit Hall, leaving behind only a few surviving remnants.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only its clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen, was a Titled Douluo.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, however, according to Bibi Dong's knowledge, possessed no fewer than three Titled Douluo.
Bone Douluo, Gu Rong.
Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.
And the previous Sword Douluo, Chen Xin's father, Chen Jianjun.
Bone Douluo was a rank 95 Super Douluo.
Sword Douluo was a rank 96 Super Douluo.
The previous Sword Douluo, Chen Jianjun, had long since reached rank 97 Super Douluo.
As for now, even Bibi Dong wasn't sure whether Chen Jianjun had already broken through to become a rank 98 Peak Douluo.
With three Super Douluo under its command, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was unquestionably the strongest force on the Douluo Continent aside from Spirit Hall.
Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, was vastly inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wished to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, it would require almost no effort at all.
As for why Chen Jianjun was still alive, during the great battle at Jialing Pass, he had witnessed the power of a Limit Douluo.
After sensing the overwhelming gap in strength, Chen Jianjun did not rush to challenge Qian Daoliu.
Instead, he decided to take his swordsmanship to an even higher level before challenging Qian Daoliu, the Angel Douluo who stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship on the Douluo Continent.
Later, for various reasons, both Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin accepted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's invitation and became its Guardian Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi had devoted tremendous effort to making that happen.
Ever since witnessing Yun Yuan's overwhelming strength, Ning Fengzhi had secretly made up his mind.
Wealth would no longer be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's primary pursuit.
Titled Douluo-level strength would be.
From the moment he became Sect Master, he spared no expense in recruiting Titled Douluo across the continent who belonged to no faction.
The previous Sword Douluo, the current Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, all three Titled Douluo, had been personally recruited into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by Ning Fengzhi.
However, the reason Chen Xin and Chen Jianjun agreed to join was also partly because of an old favor Ning Fengzhi's father had once shown Chen Jianjun.
Otherwise, for two soul masters whose hearts belonged solely to the sword, it would have been extremely difficult to persuade them to join any sect.
After finishing their discussion,
Ning Fengzhi finally left Spirit Hall with Ning Rongrong.
"Father, why is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joining Spirit Hall?"
"And why do I have to become the disciple of the Hall Master of the Pill Hall?"
After coming outside, Ning Rongrong looked completely puzzled. She couldn't understand her father's decision.
At present, the major powers across the continent were all living in peace.
Even if Spirit Hall was incredibly powerful, there was no need for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to rush into joining them.
After all, Spirit Hall had ruled the continent for tens of thousands of years, yet many ancient factions had continued to exist all this time.
That proved Spirit Hall had never intended to destroy them.
Or perhaps it simply didn't consider them worth its attention.
"Rongrong, it's difficult for Father to explain everything to you right now."
"But I estimate that in just a few more years, the entire structure of the Douluo Continent will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Only by relying on Spirit Hall in advance can we survive those coming changes and perhaps even rise to greater heights."
"As for becoming the disciple of the Hall Master of the Pill Hall, it will bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect closer to Spirit Hall."
"Besides, the Hall Master of the Pill Hall is the strongest healing-type Titled Douluo on the continent. Father worked very hard to secure this opportunity for you, so you must treasure it. Whatever you do, don't throw one of your little tantrums."
Ning Fengzhi repeatedly reminded her.
What worried him most was Ning Rongrong's pampered little-princess temperament.
If she displeased the Medical Immortal Douluo, all of his efforts would be wasted.
"Father, I understand. I'll definitely be a good girl. I won't let you down."
Seeing her father's concern, Ning Rongrong patted her chest and confidently assured him.
Although she was indeed a true Little Witch within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she, Ning Rongrong, was very smart, alright?
How could she possibly dare to throw a tantrum in front of the Medical Immortal Douluo?
Before long, the two arrived at the Pill Tower.
"Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, has come to request an audience with Her Excellency the Medical Immortal."
Ning Fengzhi spoke to the guards stationed outside the Pill Tower.
Upon learning his identity, the guards naturally did not dare neglect him. They first escorted Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong into the reception hall inside the Pill Tower before heading upstairs to report their arrival.
Not long afterward, a beautiful mature woman dressed in a white gown, possessing an exquisite appearance and graceful curves, entered the reception hall.
"Your Excellency, Medical Immortal."
The moment he saw Ye Qingxian, Ning Fengzhi immediately bowed respectfully.
This was one of the very few Rank 99 Limit Douluo in the world.
In the world of soul masters, strength was supreme.
"Sect Master Ning, greetings."
"Yuan has already transmitted his message to me regarding the matter of taking a disciple. I already know everything."
"Your daughter possesses excellent talent and a lovely appearance. I'll accept her as my disciple."
Ye Qingxian carefully examined Ning Rongrong.
She found the young girl quite pleasing to the eye and already knew she possessed outstanding talent.
Coincidentally, she had been thinking about taking a disciple for fun.
So she accepted Ning Rongrong as her disciple.
"Wonderful! Thank you very much, Medical Immortal Douluo."
"Rongrong, quickly. Hurry and pay your respects to your master."
Ning Fengzhi urged Ning Rongrong repeatedly.
Only after Ning Rongrong officially became Ye Qingxian's disciple would the burden weighing on his heart finally disappear.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would no longer have anything to fear from the coming upheaval.
"Rongrong greets Master."
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and bowed deeply.
Only after straightening up did she carefully observe her future master from close range.
So beautiful.
A beauty that transcended the mortal world.
A beauty impossible to describe with words.
"Mm, Rongrong, from today onward, you are my disciple."
"If anyone dares bully you, simply tell them you are my disciple. Remember this: no one in this world dares bully my disciple."
Ye Qingxian reached out with her fair, delicate hand and gently rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, her eyes filled with affection.
