"Yes, Master, what I've prepared for you are the same immortal herbs I gave to the old monster. However, what I'm giving you are all edible and can greatly enhance your soul power and aptitude." As he spoke, Tianlin took out several kinds of immortal herbs or peerless elixirs from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.
When there's something good, of course I'll share it with my family first.
"Elder Yin Yang, this Grade 9 Purple Gold Pill is for you." Tian Lin gave the Purple Gold Pill to Yin Yang first.
Yin Yang asked in surprise, "Even I got a gift? Haha, you're so thoughtful, Xiao Tian. What's the use of this pill?"
"Strengthen your foundation, cleanse your soul power, and break through your bottleneck. Elder Yin Yang, I've heard that you've been stuck at level 89 Soul Douluo for over ten years without making any progress. This pill might help you take the final step." Tian Lin's words were astonishing, leaving Yin Yang speechless.
"You...you mean, this tiny pill can help me break through to the Title Douluo realm?"
"Eagle, what are you waiting for? I believe Xiaotian wouldn't lie to you about this. Your obsession of over ten years will be broken today. Don't hesitate." Chen Xin urged immediately when he saw Yin Yang was too surprised to move.
Yin Yang came to his senses and, without hesitation, swallowed the purple-gold pill in one gulp, then fully circulated his soul power to absorb its immense medicinal properties.
This would take some time, so Tianlin gave the second immortal item to Bone Douluo. "Elder Bone, this is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attribute immortal item. Your martial soul is the Bone Dragon, which is both a dragon and has the dual attributes of darkness and earth. This is absolutely perfect for you."
Bone Douluo is a titled Douluo known for his unpredictable attacks and astonishing defense. This is due to the existence of his dark and earth attributes. The Earth Dragon Golden Melon can greatly enhance his earth attribute energy. In the future, his defense will surely surpass his attack, and he may even become the number one defensive titled Douluo on the continent.
"Thank you, Xiaotian. From now on, don't call me Elder Bone anymore. It's too formal. Just call me Grandpa Bone, like Rongrong does," Bone Douluo said with a kind smile.
Perhaps that withered face paired with that smile was somewhat frightening, but Tianlin was completely fearless. "Okay, Grandpa Bone."
Seeing his performance, Bone Douluo nodded in satisfaction, then went to the side to swallow the immortal medicine and absorb its power.
Tianlin continued, "Uncle Ning, Rongrong, Master, these are prepared for you. Uncle Ning and Rongrong have Heaven-Mending Pills, while Master has Primordial Immortal Herbs."
"The Heaven-Mending Pill is a divine pill made from a kind of fragrant tulip. It is known as the most precious and peerless divine pill in the world. It can make up for anyone's congenital deficiencies and make them the most perfect physique. I think that after you and Rongrong take this, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda will evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"Finally, there's Master's Primordial Immortal Herb. This kind of immortal herb isn't as complicated as the previous ones. It can neither purify soul power to strengthen the foundation, nor increase attribute power, nor evolve martial souls. Its only function is to increase your soul power to the maximum extent. You told me that for a soul master, learning skills is important, but improving soul power is fundamental. After you consume this immortal herb, I think your level will not be lower than level ninety-eight!"
Tianlin was absolutely terrifying today. Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were completely speechless, especially Ning Fengzhi, who had only given Tianlin a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, yet Tianlin's return gift was so incredibly generous.
I was right to agree to let Tianlin study medicine and poison under Dugu Bo. I never expected that he would bring back such a treasure after going out.
Ning Fengzhi thought that Tianlin had learned all of this from Dugu Bo, but in fact, Dugu Bo knew far less than him.
Ning Fengzhi even considered digging out another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from his body and giving it to Tianlin, then asking Tianlin, "Do you have any more gifts to give back?"
Chapter 56 The Earth Bone Dragon and the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
Inside the Seven Treasures Hall, apart from Tianlin and Ning Rongrong, everyone else was sitting cross-legged, absorbing the medicinal power.
Although it is safe here, someone still needs to act as a lookout, not to protect them, but to prevent people from disturbing them.
Ning Fengzhi did not let Ning Rongrong take the Heaven-Mending Pill immediately. It was not that he did not trust Tianlin, but that the Heaven-Mending Pill was too potent and he was worried that Ning Rongrong's young body could not withstand it. Therefore, he needed to test the waters himself first.
Fortunately, Ning Rongrong, who is still young, doesn't have a high pursuit of strength. She doesn't like meditating and cultivating at all. She is much happier living in the arms of her sword-wielding brother.
About an hour later, Bone Douluo was the first to wake up.
He absorbed the medicinal power the fastest, not only because he was the first to take the immortal herb, but also because his martial soul and the earth dragon golden melon were so compatible. The bone dragon is also a dragon and happens to have the earth attribute, making it a perfect match.
"Haha, this feels so good." Behind Gu Rong, a huge bone dragon phantom appeared and disappeared. It could be seen that the huge skeleton had become more solid, and the bone dragon was also emitting bursts of earthy yellow light, which was the power of the earth.
"Level 96! I have finally broken through to level 96! Moreover, my Bone Dragon seems to have evolved into an Earth Bone Dragon, which is nearly twice as strong in defense."
Bone Douluo was overjoyed and said to Tianlin, "Little Tian, thank you so much this time. I used to be suppressed by that guy Chenxin, but this time I have finally caught up with him."
"Hehe, Grandpa Bone, your catching up with Grandpa Sword is only temporary. Look, Grandpa Sword is still absorbing the medicinal power. Once he wakes up, he'll surpass you again," Ning Rongrong said with a coquettish smile.
Bone Douluo looked back and, sure enough, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were also absorbing the medicinal power.
Damn, I almost forgot, Tianlin is Chenxin's disciple. How could he only prepare a gift for himself and ignore that old guy Chenxin?
Even he has made such a big improvement, I wonder what level Chen Xin can reach. Could it be level 97? If so, he's doomed, he'll probably have to continue to be suppressed for the rest of his life.
"Xiao Tian, you should go absorb the soul bone now. Leave the protection to me," Gu Rong said.
Tianlin shook his head. "Grandpa Bone, there's no rush to absorb the soul bone. I'm the one who knows these herbs and elixirs best. If something goes wrong while absorbing the medicinal power, only I can handle it smoothly."
Gu Rong found this reasonable, so she stopped insisting and sat back down in her seat to wait quietly.
About half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi was the second to wake up.
He sensed the soul power within his body and was immediately thrilled, "Level 80! I'm really level 80!"
"Feng Zhi, what are you waiting for? Summon your Martial Soul and let's see," Gu Rong reminded him.
"Yes, Uncle Bone, we should check on my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." Ning Fengzhi summoned his martial soul with a mix of anticipation and worry.
He had tried so many methods before, but all of them had failed, and he was afraid that this time it would be another disappointment.
However, when he summoned his martial spirit, the magnificent pagoda was noticeably more dazzling and splendid than before. Ning Fengzhi counted the layers like a child, "One, two, three... eight, nine!!"
"A nine-story, nine-colored, nine-treasure glazed pagoda!"
The next moment, Ning Fengzhi burst into tears. The bottleneck that had plagued their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for thousands of years had finally been broken today.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and hugged Tianlin tightly, choking back tears, "Little Tian, thank you, thank you so much, for fulfilling the lifelong wish of countless sect leaders of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
This Sect Master Ning was always so wise and calm. Tianlin never thought he would see him cry like this. Indeed, a man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he is truly heartbroken. Of course, Ning Fengzhi's tears this time were not because of sadness, but because of excitement.
From this day forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will officially become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Oh dear, Fengzhi, this is such a joyous occasion, why are you crying? Once Sword Elder and Eagle wake up, the three of us will hunt down the strongest eighth spirit ring for you. You should think about what kind you want first," Gu Rong said with a smile.
"Well, actually, I've already made a choice for the eighth and ninth spirit rings in my mind. I just don't know when Uncle Jian and Uncle Ying will wake up." Ning Fengzhi himself was a little anxious. There was no way around it; the eighth spirit ring of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which had never appeared before, was just too tempting for him.
"Master and Grandpa Eagle will probably need some more time. The Primordial Immortal Herb that Master is taking is one of the most potent immortal herbs, and it will take a long time to fully absorb it."
"Grandpa Eagle's Purple Gold Pill is rather weak. In fact, he has already absorbed it. I guess the reason he hasn't woken up is that he wants to use the medicine to break through his bottleneck in one go."
After Tianlin finished speaking, he sat down next to Yin Yang and opened the Holy Breath Barrier to help him. In fact, Yin Yang had already reached the peak of level 89, but due to his limited talent, he would have been unable to be granted a title in his lifetime.
However, with the help of the elixir to cleanse his meridians and marrow, coupled with his more than ten years of unremitting hard work and cultivation, the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck is extremely high. He must not let go of this great opportunity.
On the other side, due to the immense medicinal power of the Primordial Immortal Herb, Chen Xin's enormous soul power spread out uncontrollably while absorbing its medicinal power.
Feeling the immense power of this soul force, Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi were both shocked. "Level 97! That old guy Chen Xin has actually broken through to level 97, and he's still rising."
In the original novel, Chen Xin achieved a breakthrough during his battle with four Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall. While this was undoubtedly due to his talent, it also proved that Chen Xin originally possessed at least the peak strength of level 96.
If your foundation isn't solid, no matter how much enlightenment you have, it will be difficult to overcome the bottleneck.
Therefore, with the help of the Primordial Immortal Herb, Chen Xin broke through to level 97 as easily as eating and drinking. Now, let's see how high he can improve.
Outside the Seven Treasures Hall, many Soul Masters also felt the immense Soul Power that made their hearts tremble. They had no idea what was happening inside.
Among them were spies planted in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by other forces, such as people from the Spirit Hall. They wanted to go in and investigate, but in the Seven Treasure Hall, unless summoned by the sect master, anyone who dared to enter, except for the two sect-protecting Douluo, Elder Yin Yang, Ning Rongrong and Tian Lin, would die.
Now that both Guardian Douluos and Sect Master Ning Fengzhi are inside, they don't have the guts to go in. They can only try to find out the reason later.
Chapter 57 Level 98 Sword Daoist Chen Xin, Title Douluo Yin Yang
Yin Yang and Chen Xin's cultivation lasted for a day and a night. On the morning of the third day, the two of them woke up from their meditation at the same time.
It was the time when the outer disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were doing their morning exercises.
At this moment, a tremendous celestial phenomenon attracted everyone's attention. The sky seemed to have been cleaved in two by some sharp weapon.
Then, the previously clear sky suddenly turned into a thunderous roar, the immense force of which made it hard to breathe.
Inside the main hall, Ning Fengzhi and the others exclaimed excitedly, "We succeeded! Uncle Jian and Uncle Ying have both achieved breakthroughs!"
Chen Xin opened his eyes first, his white hair moving without wind, elegant and otherworldly, his realm was much higher than before.
"Old Swordsman, what exactly is your level? Why can't I see through it at all?" Gu Rong asked.
"Level 98!" Chen Xin said in disbelief, then looked at Tian Lin and said, "Xiao Tian, it is true that you told me before that this Primordial Immortal Herb would raise my level to level 98. But I thought I was just entering level 98. Now, I am at the mid-level of level 98, and my soul power is extremely condensed."
“That’s natural. The soul power enhanced by the Primordial Immortal Herb is not that kind of impure or inferior product. Otherwise, it wouldn’t deserve the name of a top-grade immortal herb. Master, the solidified soul power will help you condense your soul core for future breakthroughs to level ninety-nine,” Tianlin said with a smile.
"Level 98, mid-stage, my god, Sword Master, your strength is too strong now. I estimate that even Tang Hao might not be your match now. Compared to you, I am really..." Gu Rong was happy for his old friend, but also a little lonely.
He originally thought that after breaking through to level 96, he would finally catch up with his old friend, but he didn't expect that the gap in strength would be even greater.
"Old bones, don't underestimate yourself. I see that your martial soul seems to have evolved, and your soul power is at the peak of level 96. Given time, breaking through to level 97 will be no problem at all."
Chen Xin, at level 98, was incredibly strong. He saw through Gu Rong's true strength at a glance. Indeed, when a Soul Master's Soul Power reaches level 95 or above, each level up brings a qualitative change.
Upon seeing this, Tianlin felt at least half relieved.
Since joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he has been worried about one thing: the future calamity of the entire sect being wiped out. For this reason, he has been cultivating desperately, just so that he can protect everyone in the future.
Tianlin never considered leaving. Although he was not a particularly benevolent or righteous person, he would never do anything ungrateful.
However, he seemed to have fallen into a misconception before, which was that he only thought about resolving the disaster on his own.
In fact, even if Tianlin put all his effort into cultivating in such a short time, by the time the Soul Hunting Operation took place, he would at most be a Soul Saint, and probably wouldn't even be able to defeat an ordinary Title Douluo.
Today, he has finally found the right path: to strengthen not only himself but also his sect.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo are the true fighting force of the sect.
The chemical reaction produced by Ning Fengzhi, who has broken through level 80, and Sword Douluo, who is level 98, will be enormous. Unless Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong personally intervenes, any number of ordinary Title Douluos would be easy prey.
The sect belongs to everyone, and everyone should work together to protect it. This is the principle that Tianlin has come to understand today.
Just then, Yin Yang on the other side also opened his eyes. He stood up, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and rushed directly in front of Tian Lin. "Xiao Tian, thank you. I succeeded. The bottleneck that has troubled me for nearly twenty years has finally been broken through today."
Yin Yang's words were filled with just as much excitement as Ning Fengzhi's earlier words, after all, becoming a Title Douluo had always been his dream.
"Haha, Eagle, congratulations! Feng Zhi also successfully broke through to level 80 yesterday. I'll go hunting soul beasts with you guys later. That way, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have three Douluo, no, including the old poisoner who will be back soon, it should be four Douluo." Gu Rong said with great joy.
Even the Spirit Hall only publicly displays one hall and three Douluo, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength is probably unmatched across the continent.
“Uncle Ning, I have a suggestion regarding this. It would be best not to spread the news that you, Grandpa Bone, and Grandpa Sword have all broken through to the eighth ring. After all, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Only by keeping a low profile can we survive better,” Tianlin suggested.
His goal was to scheme against the Spirit Hall in the future, and Ning Fengzhi agreed with this suggestion, as he had the same idea.
A sect can be strong, but not excessively so, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of major powers, including the Heavenly Dou Empire, which they have always supported. Unless one day, when Tian Lin and Ning Rongrong have also grown up and their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become truly invincible, they can then unleash their power without restraint. It's too early now.
“Xiao Tian, what you said makes sense. However, the strange phenomenon just now cannot be hidden from people. Fortunately, Uncle Ying and Uncle Jian broke through at almost the same time. To the outside world, we can say that it was caused by Uncle Ying breaking through to the Title Douluo level.”
Ning Fengzhi quickly came up with an excuse: Yin Yang's martial soul was the Thunder Feather Golden Eagle, which had powerful attacks and came with lightning attributes, perfectly matching the strange phenomenon just now, so no one would suspect anything.
Moreover, this not only concealed most of the sect's strength but also revealed its true power to the outside world in a way that would be acceptable. With three Douluo in one sect, no one would dare to underestimate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anymore.
Ning Fengzhi, along with three elders and Tianlin holding Ning Rongrong's hand, walked out of the Seven Treasures Hall together.
At this moment, a large group of outer sect disciples had gathered outside the hall. As mentioned before, such a great anomaly could not be kept secret. Ning Fengzhi had to give them a reasonable excuse to put their minds at ease, as well as to reassure the spies from other forces.
Once outside, Ning Fengzhi encountered a small problem, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi always presented a serious and impartial image to the outside world. His trademark was a combination of dignity and gentleness. Even when he smiled, it was always a gentle smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze. He never laughed out loud. Ning Fengzhi had received professional training in this regard, unless he couldn't help it.
"Old Swordsman, what's wrong with Feng Zhi?" Gu Rong asked Chen Xin in a strained voice.
