Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 101 The Deal with Ning Fengzhi

"Then what does Sect Leader Li want?! As long as my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has it, I can give it to you!" Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Fei with a smile and asked in return.

Li Fei looked around; it wasn't a good place to talk.

"Sect Leader Ning, why don't we talk inside?"

"Okay!" Ning Fengzhi nodded, then squatted down and said affectionately, "Rongrong, you play with your older brothers and sisters first. Dad and Brother Li will go inside and have a chat."

"good!"

Ning Rongrong nodded, and then ran eagerly toward Nong Zhi and the others.

"This child!" Ning Fengzhi smiled and looked at Li Fei, saying, "Let's go!"

Li Fei led Ning Fengzhi to the reception hall of the Body Sect, and closed the door behind him. With a wave of his hand, a soundproof barrier appeared.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at it only once before sitting down in the chair next to Li Fei and asking, "Now, Sect Leader Li, can you state your conditions?!"

"Sect Leader Ning, apart from the various precious materials and the distraction control technique, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't very useful to me!" Li Fei sat down next to him, thought for a moment, and said.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is not only the number one auxiliary Martial Soul on the continent, but also the number one treasure-appraising Martial Soul. Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School probably has just as many precious materials as the Spirit Hall. These materials are of great use to Li Fei in making soul tools.

"So you want my sect's precious materials and the method of distraction control!" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly.

"I'll pass on the precious materials, but I want to become allies with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In exchange, I can give Rongrong the first ring of the millennium. Of course, Sect Master Ning will have to find the materials himself," Li Fei said.

He was no less skilled at finding materials than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but forming an alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a different story. As the wealthiest sect on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was completely different from other sects. Not only did they not discriminate against outsiders, but they also actively recruited talented people from all over the continent. Their treatment within the sect was no worse than that of direct disciples.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi's character made Li Fei realize that this person was worth befriending and could definitely be a valuable asset if brought into his camp in the future.

"The first ring in a thousand years! Sect Master Li is not joking, is he?!" Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Fei with some surprise and slight suspicion.

"Hmm!" Li Fei smiled, activating his true martial soul and unleashing seven soul rings—four black and three red—without leaking any soul power. He laughed, "How about it?! Does Sect Master Ning believe me now?!"

"The first ten-thousand-year soul ring! And three hundred-thousand-year soul rings! How is this possible?!" Ning Fengzhi was no longer calm and collected. His heart was filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at Li Fei. The most important thing was that the soul power of the hundred-thousand-year soul rings was extremely violent, but Li Fei was able to completely contain it without letting any of it spill out. Even a super Douluo like Uncle Jian could not achieve this level of control.

Furthermore, this young man, Li Fei, actually advanced from Soul Master to Soul Saint in just a few years. This cultivation speed is simply unprecedented.

"Actually, I was just the first ring of the millennium. I became the ten-thousand-year ring simply because I had some fortuitous encounters!" Li Fei put away the soul ring and explained with a smile.

"A fortuitous encounter! Could it be that Sect Master Li has obtained a divine inheritance?!" Ning Fengzhi immediately recalled the content about divine positions recorded in the sect's ancient books, much of which matched Li Fei's current situation perfectly.

"As expected, the three upper sects all have records regarding divine positions!" Li Fei thought to himself, then shook his head at Ning Fengzhi and said, "I didn't obtain a divine position inheritance; it was just other fortuitous encounters!"

"I wonder, Sect Leader Ning, what are your thoughts on my suggestion?"

"Since Sect Leader Li has put it this way, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse!" Ning Fengzhi smiled and continued, "I just wonder how Sect Leader Li intends to help my daughter achieve the first ring in a thousand years, and what materials are required?"

"It's very simple. Before Rongrong reaches level ten in soul power, I will personally teach her how to cultivate and improve her ability to absorb spirit rings. I hope she can reach the limit of withstanding a six-hundred-year spirit ring within six months. Then, Sect Leader Ning, take advantage of these six months to mobilize the power of your sect to search for ten-thousand-year whale glue in Hanhai City or Seagod Island. The higher the quality, the better. After absorbing it, she should be able to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring." Li Fei said with a smile, while taking out a portion of thousand-year whale glue from his storage bracelet and handing it to Ning Fengzhi.

"Is this whale glue?!" Looking at the black crystal in his hand, Ning Fengzhi could clearly smell a fragrance. Just this faint fragrance made him feel a jolt of soul power, and the speed of its circulation increased slightly.

"That's right! This is just a piece of whale glue that's only a little over a thousand years old. You can try it; it should be able to increase a Soul Master's maximum Soul Ring tolerance by a hundred years. Ten-thousand-year-old whale glue can increase that limit by a thousand years, and the older the whale glue, the greater the increase!"

"I never imagined that a whale-like sea spirit beast would have such a treasure in its brain. It's truly unbelievable!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.

"Yes! Nowadays, Soul Masters on the mainland are bound by so-called common sense, but they don't know that there are countless treasures on the mainland that can break this limit. I even believe that in the future, Soul Masters will definitely be able to discover a way to increase the lifespan of Soul Rings without relying on treasures such as whale glue!" Li Fei also sighed.

"I believe it too!" Ning Fengzhi nodded, then stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, Sect Leader Li. I'll stay here with Rongrong; thank you for your help!"

"No problem!"

……

After leaving the room, Ning Fengzhi gave Ning Rongrong some instructions and then hurriedly headed towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The whale glue was not only useful to Ning Rongrong, but also to the other disciples in the school. He wanted to collect as much whale glue as possible before other sects knew about its effects.

Watching Ning Fengzhi's anxious back, Li Fei shook his head, guessing what he was thinking.

Unfortunately, even on Seagod Island, there isn't much of this stuff. Dugu Bo's actions last time exposed the effects of whale glue, so sea soul masters are probably rushing to collect it. To obtain a large quantity, the only option is to hunt the two major groups: the Demonic Orca and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale. The Demonic Orca is relatively easy to deal with, as the Demonic Orca King is only a 100,000-year-old soul beast. With the help of the two Super Douluo, Sword and Bone, even in the unfavorable ocean, they should still be able to reap a considerable harvest.

I wonder if the Demon Orca will be hunted down by the Sea Douluos? After all, the ocean is the home ground of the Sea Soul Masters, and they have a greater advantage.

Seeing Oscar still staring at Ning Rongrong with a lovesick expression, Li Fei was furious and said sternly, "Oscar, Rongrong is in your hands for training for now. If her results don't meet my standards, your training load will increase tenfold!"

"Ten times!" Oscar jumped, his face pleading, "Big brother, ten times is going to kill people!"

The training of the Body Sect is designed based on the physical limits of Oscar and others. They are already exhausted after training, so it is impossible to do it at ten times the intensity.

"So you have to make Ning Rongrong meet my requirements!" Li Fei said with a sneer.

"Okay!" Oscar immediately slumped his head, looking utterly hopeless as he walked towards Ning Rongrong. He then led Ning Rongrong toward the training room next door, intending to teach her how to hone her mental strength and meridians.

Ning Rongrong followed happily, completely unaware of what she was about to face!

Two days later, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came to visit and handed Li Fei a secret manual. It was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's unique manual, Distraction Control. After flipping through it, he found that it contained everything from the Three Aperture Constant Heart to the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, and it was very complete. There was even a cultivation experience written by Ning Fengzhi.

It must be said that Ning Fengzhi is very good at dealing with people.

In the past two days, Ning Rongrong also threw a tantrum, but under Li Fei's strong suppression, she could only obediently follow Oscar's training, but she kept hoping that her parents and two grandfathers would come to save her.

Time passed by, and soon half a year had gone by. Ning Rongrong had long given up hope, knowing that her father and two grandfathers would not come to save her. She could only obediently follow Oscar's training and receive guidance from Li Fei from time to time. Now she could withstand a six-hundred-year-old soul ring.

Li Fei also relied on his strong mental strength to achieve the Six Apertures Perfect Heart in distraction control, and was only one step away from achieving the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart. Through cultivation, Li Fei discovered that this distraction control method also had the effect of tempering the spirit.

The past six months have also allowed Li Fei's mental strength to increase.

"Rongrong, Grandpa Jian has come to see you!"

"Your grandpa Bone is here too!"

Two powerful voices suddenly came from outside the Body Sect. Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man exuding sword intent and a middle-aged man exuding a sinister aura arrived next to Ning Rongrong, looking her up and down with a doting expression!

"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong tossed her head back, turning away from the two of them, her eyes full of complaints.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you two wait for me!" Ning Fengzhi ran in, slightly out of breath.

"Who told you to leave our lovely Rongrong here and take us to the sea for half a year, so we can't come to see Rongrong often!" The two of them didn't give Ning Fengzhi a good look and complained.

Then he continued to coax Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi was quite helpless and had a headache over his two uncles' doting on Rongrong. He looked his precious daughter up and down and found that her originally delicate temperament had changed. She had become more capable and energetic than before, which could be seen from her bright eyes.

"It's been half a year since we last met. Sect Leader Ning must have reaped considerable rewards!" Li Fei arrived from the back mountain, his face full of congratulations.

"To be honest, there wasn't much. This time at sea, we not only encountered several Sea Douluos, but also fought the Demonic Orca King. If it weren't for Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu's strength, we probably wouldn't have made it back! Fortunately, we successfully obtained five pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue and thirty pieces of thousand-year whale glue!" Ning Fengzhi said with lingering fear, then took out a storage ring and handed it over: "Inside are one ten-thousand-year whale glue and six thousand-year whale glue, which can be considered as payment for the information given to us by Sect Master Li."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!" Li Fei hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

At this moment, Chen Xin and Gu Rong finally managed to appease Ning Rongrong. Hearing her call him "Grandpa" a few times made them overjoyed. Then, they dragged Ning Rongrong to Li Fei and said coldly, "It's you, you brat, who made our Rongrong unhappy. Let me see what right you have!!"

After saying that, the two began to vie with each other, eager to make a move.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, it was my idea to let Rongrong study here with Sect Leader Li. If you want to make a move, come at me!" Ning Fengzhi said helplessly.

"No need!" Li Fei gestured for Ning Fengzhi to stop talking, then looked at Jian Chen with fighting spirit and said, "I also want to see the Sword Douluo's prowess, but this junior's strength is insufficient, so I beg the Sword Douluo to show mercy!"

Although Li Fei's cultivation has not hit a bottleneck, his progress towards the Divine Indestructibility realm has truly stalled. Li Fei realized that this was likely due to his lack of true martial intent. According to the novels he read in his previous life, to reach this realm, one must comprehend one's own fist intent. Therefore, he wanted to try to see if he could comprehend sword intent through the Sword Douluo who possessed it.

"You brat, are you looking down on me or what?! Why didn't you choose me?!" Gu Rong said indignantly. He knew in his heart that his strength was indeed inferior to Chen Xin's, but Li Fei was just a minor Soul Saint. Didn't he have a chance to teach this brat in front of him a lesson?!

"Senior Gu Rong, it's not that I look down on you, but with your strength, how could I possibly be your match!" Li Fei quickly waved his hands and explained, "It's just that I wanted to experience the power of sword intent, so I chose Senior Chen Xin!"

Realizing that the two people in front of him might want to teach him a lesson, Li Fei behaved humbly and politely to avoid being ganged up on and beaten up by them later.

"Haha, you stinky bone, looks like it's me after all!" Chen Xin laughed, patting Gu Rong on the shoulder, then glanced at Li Fei and said, "Come on, let's go to Sunset Forest, let me give you a good lesson!"

After saying that, he flew towards Sunset Forest.

Chen Xin knew that with his cultivation level, he probably wouldn't even need to use his Martial Soul to teach a level 70 Soul Saint a lesson. However, in order to teach this brat a good lesson and repay Ning Rongrong for her guidance over the past six months, he couldn't just dismiss him. He felt he had to give him some proper guidance.

With his knowledge as a Super Douluo, he could naturally see that Ning Rongrong had undergone a complete transformation compared to before, laying a solid foundation for her cultivation.

Li Fei quickly followed, and Ning Fengzhi also took Ning Rongrong and Gu Rong with him.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Oscar immediately called to Tiger and the others, and they ran in the direction the others had flown off to.

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo also sensed Chen Xin's terrifying sword intent. He flew out and arrived at the edge of the battlefield, looking at Li Fei and Chen Xin facing off in the sky above the forest.

"Boy, show me what you've got! Let me see what you're capable of!" Chen Xin's voice was slightly cold. He stretched out his hand, and the Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand. Immediately afterward, a sword intent soared into the sky, as if the sky itself was about to be pierced. Not only that, but accompanying the sword intent was a terrifying killing aura.

However, there was no murderous intent whatsoever, which Li Fei could sense.
