He excitedly grasped Jiang Yunzhou's hand: "Dean Jiang, I really cannot refuse this. If you have any conditions, please feel free to name them!"
Jiang Yunzhou shook his head and smiled. Why bother saying it when you want to win people's hearts?
Remembering Ning Rongrong's words, Gu Douluo suddenly interjected, "Yunzhou boy, you're sending this immortal herb not as a betrothal gift, are you?"
Jiang Yunzhou was speechless after hearing this: He's just giving a gift, why is it so complicated?
Ning Fengzhi spoke first: "Uncle Gu, if this were a betrothal gift, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for one daughter..."
Sword and Bone Douluo nodded in unison, deeply agreeing. This gift was too generous, and considering the opportunity he had given Ning Rongrong, they owed him a great debt of gratitude.
Even without a betrothal gift or anything, Ning Rongrong would probably just give it away for free.
But if we don't accept it? He'll definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
On his deathbed, he would think: "I once had a chance to evolve my martial soul, but I didn't cherish it..."
Jiang Yunzhou quickly changed the subject: "Sect Leader Ning, in my opinion, why don't you take the immortal herb now?"
Ning Fengzhi held the jade box like a precious treasure; he dreamed of experiencing the evolution of his martial soul!
"Good! With Dean Jiang protecting me, I, Ning, am now convinced!"
Jiang Yunzhou reminded him, "Let's make this clear beforehand: even if your martial soul evolves, it's impossible for you to reach Rongrong's level. You need to be mentally prepared."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and said sincerely, "If you can really help me break through the level 79 limit, I will be completely satisfied!"
After consuming the herb, Ning Fengzhi entered a meditative state.
The martial spirit appeared on its own, enveloped in golden light, and the tower trembled slightly.
The seventh layer of the tower gradually became transparent, and then more layers were added on top of it, with the eighth and ninth layers slowly emerging and solidifying...
After his martial spirit returned to calm, it had already advanced to become the Nine Treasures Flowing Tower.
His soul power swirled around him, and his level broke through to level 80 directly when his martial soul successfully advanced. He only needed one more soul ring to continue improving.
He felt refreshed and invigorated; he had forgotten when he last felt this good!
"One, two, three, four... nine," the two Douluo girls counted carefully, their eyes wide.
Then he exclaimed in surprise, "Nine floors! It really is nine floors!"
Chapter 138 Rongrong, quickly kowtow to your teacher on behalf of your father.
While Sword Fighter Girl and Bone Fighter Girl were overjoyed, their noses tingled with a slight soreness: Ning Fengzhi, the obsession of half his life has finally come true today!
Sword Douluo's eyes were deep as she glanced at Jiang Yunzhou: No wonder Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi respected this young man so much.
Such a rare treasure, given away so readily by this young man, truly impressed him.
When Ning Fengzhi finished his practice and woke up, tears streamed down his face.
For his daughter's happiness, he suppressed the urge to become sworn brothers with Jiang Yunzhou.
"Dean Jiang, I am deeply grateful! If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost!" He bowed deeply.
Jiang Yunzhou helped him up: "Sect Leader Ning, good deeds bring good results. If you hadn't chosen to believe me from the beginning, none of this would have happened today."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly: "Hey, why call me Sect Master Ning? It's too formal! Just call me Fengzhi from now on, and I'll call you Yunzhou, okay?"
"Yunzhou, you must stay a few more days so I can treat you well!"
He then looked at Jian and Gu and said, "Uncle Jian, please accompany me to hunt for a soul ring; Uncle Gu, please accompany Yunzhou to tour the sect first."
Ning Fengzhi couldn't wait to attach a soul ring.
He felt that there was still a lot of unabsorbed medicinal power in his body, as well as the soul power accumulated over the years. Once it was all released, he was probably not far from becoming a Title Douluo!
However, the two Douluo girls, Jian and Gu, simultaneously had the same thought: Feng Zhi isn't that old, is he? Now that his martial soul defect has been repaired, should we let him marry a few more wives?
This concerns the inheritance of martial spirits, and he has no choice in the matter.
The two exchanged a glance, and when they looked at Ning Fengzhi again, they both had sly smiles on their faces.
Jiang Yunzhou spoke up, "Wait a moment while the wind blows. There's no rush for the soul ring."
“I have a pill here that can temper the body and enhance resistance to ice and fire. Why don’t you take the pill first and then absorb the soul ring?”
If you're going to give a favor, then give this elixir; the best way is to push the favor to the point where the other person can only ever stand on your side.
Ambition always grows alongside strength.
Sword Douluo carefully examined the pill and said, "This little pill can improve physical strength? Not bad, this is really timely. Feng Zhi, listen to Yun Zhou, eat it quickly, you need a good body."
Bone Douluo chimed in, "Yes, yes, your health is the most important thing right now."
Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run down his spine from the two men's stares. His intuition told him that his two uncles were plotting something wicked!
"Sword Step, Uncle Bone, why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Hahaha~~ Feng Zhi, you're overthinking it." Gu Rong laughed and patted his shoulder.
“Yes, Fengzhi, we’re doing this for your own good, please don’t overthink it,” Chenxin echoed.
Jiang Yunzhou seemed to have guessed something and smiled, "Yes, actually I also think that Seniors Jian Gu are right!"
Ning Fengzhi was simply blinded by his own involvement; otherwise, how could he not see what the two were thinking?
Just as he seemed to be seizing the opportunity, a voice interrupted him: "Dad, when is dinner served?"
Ning Rongrong led the other women into the reception room.
After exchanging glances with Ning Fengzhi, she immediately noticed that her father seemed to have changed a little.
She glanced at her two grandfathers, Jian Gu and Jian Gu, both of whom wore broad smiles.
Finally, his gaze settled on Jiang Yunzhou, asking questioningly, "Teacher, is it...?"
Jiang Yunzhou nodded with a smile.
Ning Rongrong immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Dad, did your martial soul really advance successfully?"
Her tears came without warning, and she rushed towards Ning Fengzhi, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Great, Dad, you can finally level up normally."
Ning Fengzhi's nose also tingled slightly. He patted Ning Rongrong's back and said, "Don't cry. This is a good thing. Rongrong, quickly kowtow to your teacher on behalf of your father!"
He hadn't forgotten that all of this was brought to them by Jiang Yunzhou.
Ning Rongrong left Ning Fengzhi's embrace and turned to Jiang Yunzhou: "Husband, no, teacher, my father has already used up your betrothal gifts, so just wait to marry me!"
Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, thinking: I asked you to kowtow for me, and you're proposing to him right here?
"Hahaha~! Yunzhou, can I beat up Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong grinned and said, "Dad, how could you do this? I risked everything to help you build your future!"
She then turned to look at Jiang Yunzhou and whispered, "Hehe, teacher, you wouldn't want those things to be known by other people either..."
Jiang Yunzhou rolled his eyes. Did he really think that little thing could threaten him?
He simply let Ning Rongrong have fun; after all, she was his disciple!
"Get off me first."
"Oh, okay, I'll let you go! Teacher, would you like to take a look at my boudoir? I'll perform a Six Meridian Divine Sword Splash for you!"
"Shall I take your measurements and make you a few outfits while I'm at it?"
"Rongrong, why do we need to go to your room to measure the size?" Xiao Wu suspected that Ning Rongrong wanted to eat alone.
Ning Rongrong blinked and said with a grin, "Oh, in my room, I can use mental arithmetic."
Sword Fighter Girl couldn't stand it anymore; this fujoshi (female fan of male-male romance) seemed to have turned a bit yellowish.
He said, "Rongrong, come out with me for a moment, I have something to ask you."
"Grandpa Jian, is there something you can't say here?"
Sword Fighter Girl led Ning Rongrong outside, and Bone Fighter Girl followed.
Jiang Yunzhou dismissed his disciples and then said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, take the pill now."
"Yunzhou, thank you so much. Please don't be angry with Rongrong..."
"No, I quite like her personality."
"That's good, that's good. I'll take the pill now," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
I silently added in my mind: As long as you like it, that's good!
After saying that, he put the pill into his mouth right in front of Jiang Yunzhou.
The two Douluo girls, Jian and Gu, led Ning Rongrong to a secluded spot and immediately asked, "Rongrong, your father's martial soul has advanced to become the Nine Treasures Flowing Tower!"
Ning Rongrong nodded, "Yes, I know, what's wrong!"
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, just say what you want to say."
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point: would you mind having a few more younger siblings?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
He continued, "Your inherited martial soul is a rare support-type martial soul. Since your father has repaired the martial soul's flaws, this martial soul should continue to be passed down and carried forward."
"You mean, you mean you want my dad to find me a stepmother?"
"Well, you could say that."
"But don't worry, the position of Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Sect will always be yours!"
Ning Rongrong was somewhat taken aback. So, she'll be the young sect leader forever?
Suddenly having a stepmother? This feeling is really strange.
However, after some thought, she wanted her family's martial spirit to be passed down, but she was also worried that she wouldn't be able to accept reality.
But then she remembered that her martial soul had already broken free from the scope of the Nine Treasures Flowing Pagoda, and she could no longer give birth to a child with the Nine Treasures Flowing Pagoda martial soul!
If she caused the family's martial spirit to be lost because of her, wouldn't she become a sinner?
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, I agree to this."
"However, let me state upfront that I'm not doing this because of the title of Young Sect Master. That title isn't actually that important to me right now."
