Su Yunlin sat in his seat, holding a wine cup in one hand as he looked at Ning Tian, who was currently cultivating.
What Su Yunlin had fed Ning Tian was the condensed essence of the Beautiful Silk Tulip. A 100,000-year Beautiful Silk Tulip was an important material, one of the main ingredients needed to refine the Universe Fortune Pill later. It absolutely could not be wasted.
Would Ning Tian even know how to eat it properly?
The Beautiful Silk Tulip had told Su Yunlin that to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, using the condensed essence of the Beautiful Silk Tulip would be enough.
This essence was gel-like. Su Yunlin had divided out a small gel pellet. According to Xiangxiang's description, that tiny bit of gel was enough to evolve the Martial Soul into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was Su Yunlin's greeting gift to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Since he wanted deep cooperation, he naturally had to let the other side see the benefits. That way, those merchants of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would go all in! In other words, they would shove all their chips onto the table.
As for whether the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would mobilize the entire sect to rob him? Heh. Could they beat Shrek Academy? They only had a few scattered Titled Douluo, including one old monster at level 97 whose lifespan was nearly exhausted.
What was there to fear about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Even without adding Shrek Academy's background, just the three Transcendent Douluo behind Su Yunlin were enough to flatten the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, Su Yunlin was not a bandit. His morals did not allow him to do things like seize by force. He still preferred transactions.
Su Yunlin and Tang Wutong waited just like that for Ning Tian to finish absorbing. The two of them ate while waiting. Only, there was a constant "mmph, mmph, mmph" sound. It turned out that Little Fire Dragon was protesting, but her mouth had been blocked, so she could not do anything at all.
A useless guard.
About half an hour later.
Ning Tian slowly opened her eyes. She instantly felt that something about her was different. Then she activated her Martial Soul.
"One, two, three… seven, eight… eight! This is the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Ning Tian looked at the eight-floor pagoda in her hand in disbelief. She had never expected herself to actually achieve the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. "Now your position in the sect should be completely stable, right? As for this transaction?"
Ning Tian nodded firmly. "I agree to this transaction. I'll send someone back to the sect immediately. No! I'll personally return to the sect!"
Su Yunlin nodded. "Go and return quickly. You are still one of the main competitors in this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament. Don't forget that."
"Mm. Fengmei?"
Ning Tian saw Wu Feng tied up firmly at the side.
"Your little fire dragon was a little disobedient, so I disciplined her on your behalf. Alright, since the deal has already been settled, we'll be leaving. This transaction gives both sides what they need. A win-win!"
Su Yunlin stood up and left. Tang Wutong followed him out.
Ning Tian immediately went to untie Wu Feng. Wu Feng instantly threw herself into Ning Tian's arms.
"Wuwuwu, Young Master, that shameless couple bullied me"
Ning Tian's face darkened. In the end, she could only sigh and rub Wu Feng's head.
...
Tang Sect.
The current Tang Sect could be said to be thriving. Because of Su Yunlin's involvement, graduates from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard who failed the inner courtyard assessment could be specially recruited into Tang Sect.
Anyone who could graduate from Shrek's outer courtyard was already considered quite good, even if they failed to enter the inner courtyard. Shrek graduates were coveted talents no matter which force they joined.
Those graduates who were willing to join Tang Sect were already classmates and schoolmates to begin with. After becoming official disciples, they would naturally receive preferential treatment.
The current Tang Sect disciples were divided into three groups: the seven Sect Master's true disciples, official disciples, and nominal disciples.
The nominal disciples made up the vast majority. They were all recruited from Spirit City, and their main job was to assist in the production of soul tools. To put it bluntly, they were assembly-line workers.
However, Tang Sect's treatment was still very good. Every nominal disciple had cultivation resources and vacation time. The amount of cultivation resources they received was distributed according to their work. Those with greater ability did more and received more.
The official disciples were generally made up of Shrek Academy disciples. At present, there were only a little over twenty of them, but that was already enough. The lowest among them had cultivation at the Spirit Ancestor level, while the stronger ones had already reached Spirit Emperor and were close to Spirit Sage. Among these people, there would always be some who could reach Titled Douluo.
As for the seven Sect Master's true disciples, they were the Shrek Seven Monsters. This was a position Tang Ya had specially established, and their status within the sect was equal to that of elders.
Tang Sect currently had two elders: Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. One had been coaxed in by Tang Ya, while the other had followed Huo Yuhao in.
When Su Yunlin walked into Tang Sect, he saw the Soul Dueling Arena packed with people.
At this moment, Bei Bei was sparring with Ji Juechen. The Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul and the sword light were evenly matched.
"Divine Departure!"
Ji Juechen gripped the Sword of Judgment and unleashed a horizontal slash. It was clearly the sword move Su Yunlin had once used to defeat Ji Juechen. He had not expected Ji Juechen to learn it so quickly.
"Yunlin, Yunlin! That's your move!" Tang Wutong cried out in surprise.
Su Yunlin was also somewhat surprised. Ji Juechen had learned it far too quickly, hadn't he?
"Dragon Emperor Thunder Domain!"
Bei Bei also used his own secret technique. He had fused Dragon Emperor Domain Suppression with Overlord Emperor: Thunder Domain. This was a new move Bei Bei had cultivated under Elder Mu's guidance.
Golden lightning erupted from Bei Bei's entire body. The golden lightning condensed into a golden dragon shape, then burst toward Ji Juechen's position.
Boom—
Ji Juechen was forced back by Bei Bei. He was still holding his sword with both hands, but his upper clothes were already torn.
A trace of fresh red blood seeped from the corner of Ji Juechen's mouth, but Ji Juechen was very happy. "You're very strong. I lost."
Bei Bei also let out a breath of relief. "Brother Ji's sword intent is also very strong. When you used Yunlin's move just now, you gave me quite a scare."
"That move of Su Yunlin's felt very suitable for me, so I learned it. I don't know whether he'll blame me for secretly learning it."
"Of course not. Divine Departure was originally something I copied after watching a sword master. I'm not a proper sword cultivator, so this move is only what I imagined it to be. But you have hope of perfecting it. I hope that in the future, you can truly achieve a sword strike that even gods must retreat from!"
Su Yunlin walked over. The move Divine Departure was something he had learned from a certain free man. He had simply thought it looked very cool and copied it. Originally, he had wanted to imitate Great Thousand Worlds even more, but Great Thousand Worlds required three-sword style.
Ji Juechen bowed to Su Yunlin. "Thank you for teaching me this move. I definitely won't disgrace it! Please spar with me again."
Su Yunlin hesitated for a moment and looked Ji Juechen up and down. "Can you even fight in your current state?"
Ji Juechen nodded firmly. "My current state is very good!"
"Fine. Your will is very strong. Then let's compete in willpower once!"
"Good!"
Su Yunlin stepped onto the Soul Dueling Arena and took his stance opposite Ji Juechen. Ji Juechen gripped his sword with both hands, and his entire aura became incomparably sharp.
Su Yunlin's aura, however, was as deep as an abyss. His right hand instantly turned pitch-black, and golden flames of aura burned over it.
Step!
The two attacked at the same time. Fist collided with sword.
Boom—
Ji Juechen flew out once again. However, Su Yunlin instantly sped up and caught Ji Juechen, preventing him from smashing through another wall.
Ji Juechen took a deep breath. "I lost again. Next time."
"Good!"
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. He had not expected someone to withstand his intent. The other party's fighting spirit had not weakened at all. Instead, it had only grown stronger and stronger. He really was a pretty good opponent.
