Chapter 66: The Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Eight Spider Lances.
Ye Xuanming took a step forward and pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo make things difficult for me, won't Rongrong protect me?"
His warm breath sprayed onto Ning Rongrong's ear.
Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed, and she stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss Ye Xuanming's lips.
"Of course I will."
The two entered the Ye residence.
The mansion was completely empty; there wasn't a single person inside.
"Have Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling returned yet?" Ning Rongrong looked around.
"They must still be training at the Great Soul Arena," Ye Xuanming replied.
That's fine.
Ye Xuanming had a plan in mind.
Rongrong gave him everything she cherished most, so naturally he had to offer a substantial dowry.
This betrothal gift was enough to shake the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Rongrong, come to my room for a moment." Ye Xuanming took her hand.
"Um?"
Although Ning Rongrong was a little confused, she obediently followed him into the room.
Ye Xuanming closed the door.
He raised his hand and waved it, and an exquisite jade box appeared in his palm.
The moment the jade box was opened, an indescribable, rich fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
The fragrance was magnificent, as if it carried a kind of majestic and awe-inspiring air.
Ning Rongrong only took a sniff and felt her soul power increase slightly.
She curiously moved closer.
Inside the jade box lay a strange, magical herb.
Its roots and leaves resemble a dense and exquisite vine canopy.
At the top, a golden tulip is in full bloom, each petal seemingly crafted from pure gold, shimmering with a luxurious luster.
"This is…" Ning Rongrong's breath hitched.
"Turmeric incense." Ye Xuanming's voice was very soft.
Ning Rongrong's understanding of treasures far surpasses that of ordinary people.
The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so wealthy is not only due to its ability to assist Soul Masters, but also because of its unparalleled ability to identify rare and precious materials.
She could sense that the energy contained in this flower was pure and abundant, even far exceeding that of any top-grade medicinal herb she knew.
"After taking it, it can help you upgrade the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Rongrong's raised hand froze in mid-air.
Her mind went completely blank.
Nine...Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been bound by constraints for thousands of years, a barrier that countless predecessors have been unable to break through even after a lifetime of effort.
All the sect leaders in the past stopped at the level of Soul Saint at level 79; this was the destiny engraved in their martial souls.
Now, Ye Xuanming tells her that this flower in front of her can break this fate.
Ning Rongrong's voice was trembling:
"Brother Ye, really... really?"
Ye Xuanming did not answer, but simply handed the jade box to her.
Ning Rongrong looked at him, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Xuanming's lips.
This is not a mere skimming of the surface.
She used all her strength, as if she wanted to pour everything she had into that kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Ning Rongrong's cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed. She was panting, but her smile was incredibly radiant.
"Rongrong, absorb it first."
Ye Xuanming spoke, "Gently inhale the flower stamen, slowly absorb its essence into your body, and then circulate your soul power to let the medicinal effects spread throughout your body."
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously.
She took the jade box, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and held it carefully.
She approached the golden tulip and, following Ye Xuanming's instructions, began to absorb the essence from its stamen.
She inhaled wisps of golden energy.
Ning Rongrong's body began to emit a faint golden glow.
Seeing this, Ye Xuanming turned around and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.
He went to the empty backyard.
With a thought, the blue silver grass in the corner of the yard began to grow wildly, quickly weaving into an impenetrable green cage, completely isolating an area.
Ye Xuanming took out the desiccated human-faced demon spider corpse from the soul guide device.
The body lay on the ground, its eight long legs curled up.
Ye Xuanming stretched out his right hand, and dark blue silver grass appeared, with several purple-gold vines piercing into the carapace on the back of the human-faced demon spider.
A moment later, a palm-sized, jet-black, long, narrow bone was forcibly peeled from the corpse by vines.
Externally attached soul bone, eight spider spears.
Ye Xuanming put away the soul bone, not absorbing it immediately.
He raised his hand towards the corpse on the ground.
More dark blue silver grass vines surged out, wrapping the human-faced spider's corpse layer by layer.
In just a few breaths, the more than two-thousand-year-old soul beast's corpse was completely devoured, leaving not a trace.
After doing all this, Ye Xuanming picked up the black external soul bone and sat down cross-legged.
He placed the soul bone on the back of his heart.
Guided by his soul power, a cold and violent energy surged into his body in an instant.
Unlike the gentle absorption of the leg bone earlier, this energy was aggressive, attempting to disrupt his meridians.
Ye Xuanming's soul power circulated on its own, firmly suppressing and enveloping this external energy, and then slowly refining it.
His physique is far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters.
The absorption process was much easier than expected.
In a short while, the soul bone had completely merged into his spine.
But he could sense that this integration was still superficial.
The perfect integration of the external soul bone with the body requires immense external pressure to be fully achieved.
The soul power pressure of a titled Douluo should be the best catalyst.
Previously, Dugu Yan's scorpion tail was completely fused by Dugu Bo through pressure, so it seems that we'll have to trouble Master Dugu Bo again.
After absorbing the nutrients, Ye Xuanming stood up and stretched his body. He felt no discomfort in his back.
Ye Xuanming removed the cage made of blue silver grass, and the courtyard returned to its original state.
He turned and walked toward the room.
Pushing open the door, Ning Rongrong was still sitting cross-legged in the same spot, the golden aura around her even more intense than before, her whole body enveloped in a layer of luxurious light.
Ye Xuanming did not disturb her, but quietly sat down on the chair next to her.
Time passed slowly.
The sky outside the window changed from bright to orange-red.
An hour later, the setting sun melted into gold.
The golden light that enveloped Ning Rongrong suddenly contracted into her body.
She slowly opened her eyes.
The moment Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, the entire room lit up.
She raised her right hand.
With a thought, a small and exquisite pagoda appeared in her palm.
The pagoda is carved entirely from diamonds and shines brilliantly.
But unlike before, this pagoda is taller and more magnificent.
Ning Rongrong began counting layer by layer with her fingertips.
"one two three..."
Her voice grew faster and faster, trembling with disbelief.
"Seven, eight, nine!"
When she reached the ninth floor, her breathing stopped.
"Brother Ye! It really is the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
