Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 50—Py (Friend) Transactions

In fact, before Qian Renxue went upstairs, Qian Lingyun had a brief conversation with Ning Tian in a corner of the corridor…

"That one-against-three this afternoon was truly impressive!" Ning Tian leaned against the corridor wall, looking at Qian Lingyun with a half-smile and nodding. "Sister Yun, you're quite the hidden talent. Just which powerful family's heir are you? Perhaps you could reveal a little to me?"

"My sister and I are just nameless, unaffiliated, free-spirited soul masters! We can't compare to the vast and powerful Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School under Young Master Ning!"

"Sister, you are mistaken. Those with a good reputation are often just empty shells. They have countless people eating, drinking, and sleeping in their eyes. It is even more difficult for us auxiliary sects, as we rely on outsiders for our livelihood every day."

"However... you seem to know a lot about our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School." A glint of light flashed in Ning Tian's eyes as he glanced at Qian Lingyun's brows.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is renowned, how could I not know about it? After all, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one auxiliary weapon spirit in the world!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, casually pointing in a direction, and said with a smile, "Isn't one of those ten statues over there your ancestor?"

"Indeed, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School did have such an ancestor, but you only know one side of the story, not the other!" Ning Tian smiled, but a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

"Oh! I'd like to hear more," Qian Lingyun said, feigning surprise and gesturing for Ning Tian to continue.

"In fact, Ning Rongrong was removed from my Ning family genealogy many years ago!" Ning Tian's words were astonishing, surprising Qian Lingyun. She feigned ignorance and asked, "Why is that? Ancestors who become gods bring glory to the family; how could they be removed from the genealogy?"

"Heh, this is a secret known only to our direct descendants. But Sister Yun isn't an outsider, so I'll tell you... You can listen to it like a storybook, but it's fine if you don't tell anyone else."

Ning Tian leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. After a brief moment of preparation, he organized his thoughts and began to tell Qian Lingyun: "Ten thousand years ago, during the great war of the three gods, two of my sect's guardian Douluos perished while trying to retrieve the Sea God's corpse. Ning Rongrong and her husband resurrected the Sea God Tang San, but they did not resurrect the two guardian Douluos."

"Even those hidden weapons that were bought at high prices were taken back by the Sea God. What do you think of these two things, Sister Yun?"

"This is a family matter from ten thousand years ago, so I can't comment on it. But I'm just curious, if gods can be resurrected, why can't Title Douluos be resurrected?" Qian Lingyun pretended to know nothing about this matter and analyzed it from the perspective of a bystander: "Could there be some other reason?"

"Hmph, what reason could there be? Given their life-saving grace to the Sea God, even if they resurrected the two Guardian Douluos, so what? But according to what my ancestors passed down, it was because of a single sentence from the Sea God that Ning Rongrong refused her biological father's request, even though it was to resurrect the two Guardian Douluos who had doted on her since childhood."

At this point, Ning Tian revealed a contemptuous smile. She turned her head to look at Qian Lingyun and said self-deprecatingly, "What's even more interesting is that Ning Rongrong also helped the Tang Clan raise the price of those hidden weapons."

"Ugh, isn't this just plain crazy? Buying something and helping the seller raise the price..." Qian Lingyun pouted in perfect agreement, mimicking Ning Tian's sarcastic tone.

"In the end, she and her husband Oscar ascended to the realm of gods, leaving no offspring with the bloodline of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Therefore, our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is merely a name with nine treasures, in reality we only have seven."

At this point, Ning Tian slammed his fist against the wall, looked helplessly at the ceiling, and said, "Without a sect-protecting Douluo, without hidden weapons, and without the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, our Ning family had no choice but to become a semi-hidden sect, which is why we have been barely surviving until now."

"So, you didn't spend all that time talking to me just to tell me family secrets, did you?" Qian Lingyun glanced at Ning Tian and said gently, "Young Master Ning, please feel free to speak your mind!"

"Good, that's great!" Ning Tian nodded with satisfaction, extending his right hand in front of Qian Lingyun. "I originally thought you two sisters were heirs from a major sect and were too embarrassed to speak up, but you also said that you are free soul masters without a sect."

"Therefore, I, Ning Tian, ​​would like to invite you to join my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Oh! So you've taken a liking to our talents and want to train us as future sect guardians?" Qian Lingyun chuckled, then looked at Ning Tian and refused, "Sorry, we're not thinking about joining a sect yet."

"..."

After a brief silence, Ning Tian withdrew his hand and casually tapped his thigh. "Sister Yun rejected me so thoroughly! It really hurt my pride."

Qian Lingyun shrugged. "I can't help it, I'm afraid you'll sell me off if I go to your house! There must be a lot of old monsters in your big sects."

After listening, Ning Tian laughed and replied, "Haha, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not some dragon's den or tiger's lair. If people with your talent join, resources will naturally be tilted towards you. We can even procure a high-level soul tool for you."

"Let's put joining a sect aside for now! I'll give you guys priority when I decide to," Qian Lingyun said, rubbing her nose and forcing a friendly smile. "Just don't look down on me then."

"Don't worry about that!" Ning Tian said with a smile, spreading his hands. "The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School welcomes you anytime you come."

"On another note, if your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, wouldn't you be able to call the shots in the entire sect?" Qian Lingyun raised an eyebrow and teased.

"That's natural. Our family hasn't produced a Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for ten thousand years. If I could..."

At this point, Ning Tian suddenly realized what was happening, staring intently at Qian Lingyun, and said, word by word, "Could it be that you have some way?"

"What can I do? I was just saying it offhand," Qian Lingyun said helplessly, waving her hand.

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul could evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda so easily, surely you wouldn't have Ning Rongrong as the only exception for ten thousand years!"

"That's true. Our sect also has records that Ning Rongrong was born with a level nine innate soul power, awakened the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda which appears only once every ten thousand years, and was eventually chosen by the Nine-Colored Goddess to ascend to the God Realm."

At this point, Ning Tian looked somewhat wistful, but Qian Lingyun's expression froze.

She remembered that Ning Rongrong ate the Immortal-grade Qiluo Tulip and then evolved her martial soul, right? Besides, there's a grammatical error here! How could the Innate Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only have innate soul power level nine?

Why are the two versions different?

However, upon closer examination, Ning Tian's explanation makes perfect sense, because Ning Rongrong did not leave behind the correct method for awakening the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which is why no new Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has appeared for ten thousand years.

That's interesting, really interesting!

She remembered... there was a Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in this world, and she could keep Ning Tian hanging for now...

"Ning Tian, ​​if someone could evolve your martial soul from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, what would you do for that person?"

"Verbal guarantees are meaningless. What can I do? I'll have to wait until that person shows me the method!" Ning Tian looked at Qian Lingyun meaningfully, seemingly understanding the deeper meaning in her words.

"Here you go." Ning Tian took out a token from his pocket and placed it in Qian Lingyun's palm. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This is my token. With it, you only need to find any shop with the symbol on the back of the token, and my men will help you as much as possible."

"This is a matter between the two of us, and has nothing to do with sects or factions. I hope you can bring me good news. I promise, by then, I can give you more than you can imagine!"

"Heh." Qian Lingyun took the token and nodded. "I will do my best to handle your matter. Of course, I want to make it clear beforehand that I am not 100% sure about this kind of thing. I will just try my best to find a way."

"Well then... I wish us a pleasant collaboration!"

After saying that, Ning Tian stood up, smiled at Qian Lingyun, and quickly walked towards his room.

According to the original novel, "The Legend of the Gods," Ning Rongrong and Oscar had no descendants, so it can be concluded that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was not passed down.

Furthermore, by the end of the first Douluo Continent series, without the sect-protecting Douluo, without hidden weapons, and without money or land, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was bound to be in a bad situation.

After all… he's been completely relegated to a minor role since the second season, tsk tsk tsk.

My personal suggestion is not to make Tang Buddha an angel partner... cough cough cough.

Look at Dugu Bo, look at the Liuli Sect, and then look at the Haotian Sect, which is run by two beasts.
