The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 9 Ning Fengzhi's Great Sacrifice

"The teacher is right. Yu Yuanzhen probably won't make any big moves. I was just overthinking it."

Xue Qinghe looked as if he had just realized something, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ning Fengzhi.

She wanted to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the strongest support sect on the continent.

She said all this simply to use the academy's affairs to sow discord between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School.

This will make things easier in the future.

She has been working undercover in the royal family for many years and is now beginning to see results.

No one in the Heaven Dou Empire can stop her progress anymore. People like Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing are completely beneath her notice.

In a few more years, she will tighten her grip on power.

That was the time when the Spirit Hall set out to unify the continent.

It now appears that the relationship between the three upper sects is not monolithic. This is good news for her.

Li Xun listened to their conversation and fell into deep thought.

Compared to the uncertainty of awakening common children, academies are the key place for major sects to recruit talents.

Especially the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, an elite academy that can reliably produce mid-to-high-level Soul Masters.

Even the proud Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had to invite outsiders into the sect due to its own reasons.

This is especially true for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which serves as a supporting sect.

"This is the downside of maintaining a pure bloodline. If you don't produce offspring like crazy to achieve a qualitative change through quantity, decline is inevitable sooner or later."

"Nowadays, besides Yu Yuanzhen, a titled Douluo, who else in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan can be considered a capable leader?"

Li Xun glanced at Qian Renxue.

Compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has a stronger bloodline that is also more difficult to continue.

Now, Qian Daoliu only has this one granddaughter left.

The reason he didn't expose Qian Renxue's disguise was because he was afraid that Qian Renxue would get into trouble in Tian Dou.

He and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School do not yet have the strength to directly confront Qian Daoliu and the elders of the Offering Hall.

……

"Xiao Xun, when are you planning to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Ning Fengzhi watched Xue Qinghe leave and then turned to ask Li Xun.

"Teacher, I still have some things to do, and I estimate it will take some more time," Li Xun said after a moment's thought.

"Oh? Can you tell the teacher about it?" Ning Fengzhi asked, intrigued.

Li Xun's eyes lit up; these were the words he had been waiting for.

"Teacher, I've been studying pharmacology for the past year and discovered that there's a medicinal herb on the mainland that's severely undervalued. Aside from certain groups, nobody buys it."

"This medicinal herb can improve a Soul Master's physique and also promote the absorption of Soul Rings of higher age."

"You mean there's still a considerable amount of this medicinal herb in stock? Enough for the sect's disciples to use?" Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred.

"Yes, teacher, and the price is pitifully low for its effectiveness."

"Xiao Xun, you seem hesitant. Does this medicine have any side effects?"

Ning Fengzhi understood immediately and smiled.

On the mainland, medicinal herbs that can enhance the absorption of soul rings must be incredibly precious; how could they be buried here?

It must have come with intractable side effects, otherwise he would have known about it.

However, regardless of whether his junior disciple's words were helpful or not, he couldn't undermine the other's confidence.

"Teacher, this medicinal herb does indeed have side effects."

Li Xun made a gesture of sighing, as if he were very reluctant: "This may affect your reputation."

"It will affect my reputation?" Ning Fengzhi frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing his teacher frown, Li Xun quickly whispered, "Yes, teacher, this medicinal herb is called whale glue."

"Aphrodisiacs?"

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, and his expression slowly turned serious.

"Teacher, you know this!" Li Xun exclaimed in surprise. This was something that no one would usually pay attention to except for certain groups of people.

"Xiao Xun, you're still young. Don't read too many random books; it won't do you any good for your growth," Ning Fengzhi said seriously, looking at Li Xun.

"Teacher, I was just reading a travelogue about pharmacology. Doctors are compassionate!"

Li Xun felt wronged.

……

"Teacher, you've really suffered!" Li Xun sighed softly as he looked at the Millennium Whale Glue in his hand.

Although Ning Fengzhi outwardly resisted the idea of ​​improving his Soul Master skills, he was actually quite concerned about it.

After Li Xun finished explaining, he began collecting whale glue that very day in preparation for the experiment.

After several disciples absorbed the product, its effectiveness was confirmed. Ning Fengzhi then began a large-scale acquisition spree.

However, this kind of thing often has its drawbacks.

At some point, news of Ning Fengzhi's hidden illness spread rapidly.

In just over ten days, the news reached the ears of Emperor Xueye.

Emperor Xueye felt deep sympathy for Ning Fengzhi's plight.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He had five children, two of whom died young, but at least three survived.

Ning Fengzhi is different. As the head of a sect, he currently only has one daughter, Ning Rongrong.

The difference in physical fitness is immediately apparent.

They immediately sent someone to the royal treasury to retrieve two pieces of treasured thousand-year-old whale glue and deliver them over.

One of them is in Li Xun's possession, and the other is in Ning Rongrong's.

"The absorption limit of my second spirit ring should be between eight hundred and nine hundred years. After consuming this piece of whale glue, the absorption limit of my second spirit ring should reach about twelve hundred years."

Millennium Whale Glue, when ingested, can increase the maximum absorption limit of Soul Rings by four to five hundred years.

This kind of thing is best taken as early as possible.

If Tang San had taken the pill before level 20, his second spirit ring should have reached a thousand years.

Li Xun put the whale glue into a specially made high-temperature furnace.

Once the whale gel has softened, quickly remove it with pliers.

Place it in a pre-prepared small bowl, then place it on the stove and continue heating until completely melted.

"It looks like donkey-hide gelatin, I wonder what it tastes like." Li Xun picked up the small bowl, swallowed it in one gulp, and a wave of nausea immediately washed over him.

Suppressing his nausea, Li Xun swallowed the whale gelatin, then sat cross-legged, preparing to enter a meditative state.

He didn't know what would happen next, so he just meditated.

Before long, a strange fragrance came from my mouth, followed by a surge of heat from my stomach to my limbs and bones.

The heat then gradually accelerated as it circulated within his body, until Li Xun felt as if his skin was being steamed at high temperatures.

"hot"

This was Li Xun's only feeling at that moment. The heat was strange; it was a kind of intense heat that emanated from within.

The intense heat made Li Xun's heart pound.

Although he is only eight years old this year, still at an age where he is willing but unable to do much, his mind is that of an adult.

He didn't know how much time had passed before the discomfort finally subsided. At that moment, Li Xun looked as if he had been pulled out of a bucket of water.

I went into the bathroom and washed away the filth.

"Phew! It's finally over." Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder if I'll have to suffer like this next time I take it."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will continue to acquire whale glue, something that can make soul masters stronger, and no one will ever have too much of it.

Even if you can't eat it all yourself, you can still make a good business by stockpiling it and selling it to others.

Some disciples have already gone to coastal cities, hoping to acquire more goods before everyone realizes what's happening.

"The teacher's name will surely resound throughout the entire continent."

Just as Li Xun was making fun of Ning Fengzhi, Aunt Xue's voice came from outside the door.

"Young master, some children have come to sell books. Would you like to meet them?"
