With the "deal" reached, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong prepared to leave.
But Ning Rongrong remained standing in place.
After hesitating for a few seconds,
she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Tang, can my father also use that Martial Soul Evolution opportunity?"
"Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi scolded, "Is that something you should be asking? Quickly apologize to your Uncle Tang!"
Gu Rong, who usually doted on Ning Rongrong, didn't defend her this time either.
Compared to Ning Fengzhi,
the younger and more gifted Ning Rongrong was clearly more suited for this opportunity.
Ning Rongrong lowered her head in distress, unwilling to speak.
Ning Fengzhi could only offer a look of apology to Tang Lan.
"Indeed, it's possible," Tang Lan affirmed. "I'll be direct about the opportunity. It's a Celestial Herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Whether you or Rongrong consumes it, your Martial Soul can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
A flicker of doubt crossed Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda also had a "treasure-seeking" function, and he had seen many rare treasures.
However, this "Celestial Herb" and "Aromatic Silk Beauty"... he had never heard of them.
Gu Rong was more direct.
"Little Lan, what does this Celestial Herb mean? This old man has never heard of it before."
Tang Lan smiled.
It wouldn't be polite not to take advantage of an opportunity like this.
"So-called Celestial Herbs are fully known as celestial-grade medicinal herbs."
"They are different from ordinary herbs. They are spiritual herbs of heaven and earth that can only be born under specific conditions."
"Therefore, they are extremely difficult for people to find, so I didn't include them in the Tang Sect Encyclopedia."
"Each Celestial Herb has unique effects."
"For example, this Aromatic Silk Beauty, taking it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the brilliance of the sun and moon, and complement a treasure like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"It will definitely help to complete its defects and allow the Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Gu Rong nodded in understanding.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Lan, your knowledge base truly leaves me feeling inadequate!"
At this moment,
Ning Rongrong suddenly stepped forward, about to say something. "Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi raised his voice, "If you don't want to go against the wishes of me and your Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, then come with me obediently!"
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with grievance, and she turned to Gu Rong for help.
Unfortunately, this time Gu Rong didn't take her side either.
"Rongrong, you should know better," Gu Rong agreed. "For Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, your Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the most beneficial outcome."
"Rongrong, I am old now. Even with Martial Soul Evolution, my future achievements are limited." Ning Fengzhi's tone softened. "In the future, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect will still need to be handed over to you."
Ning Rongrong bit her lip and lowered her head, silently walking towards the door.
Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi signaled to Tang Lan.
They also hurried to follow.
Tang Lan didn't continue cultivating and came outside.
He took out the Divine Wind Boat and channeled his inner strength into it.
The Divine Wind Boat immediately expanded.
A few breaths passed,
It expanded proportionally to twenty meters long and eight meters wide.
He boarded the Divine Wind Boat.
A crystal ball hung at the bow of the boat. Placing a hand on it would allow one to control the Divine Wind Boat with their thoughts.
But Tang Lan didn't need to go to that trouble.
He probed with his spiritual power.
The Divine Wind Boat rose smoothly, flying towards the sect entrance.
He met Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo head-on.
He waved, signaling for the two of them to come aboard.
"Old poison, go and infuse your soul power," Tang Lan said without any courtesy.
Dugu Bo glared!
If it weren't for Tang Lan's truly impressive background, and the fact that he needed him to save his life...
Just this one command would be enough for him to cripple the other person! But Dugu Yan didn't have such concerns.
She put her hands on her hips and was about to start scolding. Tang Lan took out that Purple Water Chestnut Python's right arm bone, weighing it in his hands.
Dugu Yan's eyes immediately widened! This soul bone's aura... ...matched her perfectly!
And judging by its completeness, the age wouldn't be too low, right?
Before she could think further...
Tang Lan casually tossed the soul bone towards Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up!
She reached out to grab it.
But Dugu Bo snatched it away.
He cautiously examined it, finding no issues.
Yet, he still glared at Tang Lan.
"You little demon, what's the meaning of this?"
"Just thought you were at a disadvantage, so I'm compensating with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone," Tang Lan said casually. "We'll need it to detoxify later."
Dugu Bo eyed Tang Lan suspiciously.
"You're being so generous?"
This is a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! And it matches the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's.
Even he, a Douluo, could use it.
Just giving it away like this? "Don't believe me? Then give it back," Tang Lan said, spreading his palms.
Dugu Bo was silent for a few seconds.
He handed the soul bone to Dugu Yan.
"Yan'er, absorb it here."
Dugu Yan took the soul bone.
But she held back her temper, frowning as she looked at Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, what does he mean it's too much of a loss? And what's this about detoxifying?"
Dugu Bo patiently explained the details of the transaction.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's first reaction was, "Grandpa, is your medicine garden really that valuable?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been buying soul bones at ten times the usual price these past few days. I wonder if this one is…"
Tang Lan nodded, not intending to hide anything.
—Ning Fengzhi's actions were so grand, it would be impossible to conceal it.
"Besides this one, there's also one that's sixty thousand years old and another that's forty thousand years old."
"The cost is a Celestial Herb you don't recognize from your medicinal garden."
Dugu Bo's withered face twitched violently!
Those herbs…
Were they really that valuable?
His eyes flickered, as if lost in thought.
He was guarding a treasure trove without even knowing it, only to have someone else snatch the prize.
He felt incredibly resentful!
Should he…
Tang Lan didn't say anything, gazing at him with a half-smile.
He wasn't worried in the slightest that Dugu Bo would do anything rash.
To put it bluntly…
Tang Lan, with his immunity to poison, was completely confident in defeating Dugu Bo!
He wasn't afraid of any ill intentions.
Even if Dugu Bo wanted to drive up the price or refuse the deal.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was right there.
Tang Lan could directly take Tang Hao and force his way in to collect them.
The reason he was willing to trade with Dugu Bo, and was so upfront,
was simply to have a clear conscience.
Fortunately,
Dugu Bo didn't lose his mind, and finally sighed.
"It's because this old man didn't recognize the value, and wasn't fortunate enough to enjoy these herbs."
"You've gotten off easy, you little demon."
"Yan'er, absorb this Soul Bone."
He walked towards the crystal ball, placing his hand on it and infusing it with soul power.
The Divine Wind Boat turned into an afterimage, shooting towards the Sunset Forest.
Dugu Yan looked at Tang Lan with a complex expression.
She had also been to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Let alone picking anything.
She couldn't even get close.
When it came to Tang Lan, he could already be used to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan do things.
Just…
Tang Lan ignored Dugu Yan and yawned, walking towards the cabin.
He looked like he was going on vacation.
Two hours later.
The Divine Wind Boat arrived at Sunset Forest, and Tang Lan woke up right on time.
At the same time,
Tang Hao then walked out from the rear, causing Dugu Bo's pupils to shrink to the size of needles!
He had seen Tang Hao.
So…
This Clear Sky Douluo had been here all along?
If he hadn't figured it out just now, if he had actually attacked...
Dugu Bo took a deep look at Tang Lan.
This kid... He's quite insidious! He actually deliberately revealed the value of that place to tempt him into making a mistake?
Then Tang Hao could legitimately take action and occupy the moral high ground.
"You little demon, you're even more venomous than this old man!" Dugu Bo grumbled unhappily.
Fortunately, he valued his word and was open-minded.
Otherwise, just now... Tang Hao frowned slightly.
What's the problem?
In front of this Tang Hao, you dare to scold his son? This Dugu Bo really has a death wish! He raised his aura, standing up for Tang Lan.
Dugu Bo's expression tightened!
He stared at Tang Hao, his eyes flickering like a venomous snake.
This guy, he wouldn't try to rob us, would he?
As tensions rose.
Tang Lan suddenly laughed, "To be praised for my poison by the Poison Douluo, what an honor."
"Old Poison, lead the way."
"You're more familiar with this place anyway."
Tang Hao understood Tang Lan's words and withdrew his imposing aura.
Dugu Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Rongrong still snorted coldly.
Using her soul power, she enveloped Dugu Yan and flew towards Sunset Forest.
Tang Lan and Tang Hao followed closely behind.
Celestial Herbs! Little Ye is here to pick you!
