"Master Ning, please come in."
Ning Fengzhi was dressed in white. If you didn't know his identity, it would be easy to mistake him for a gentle scholar.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly to Huo Yuan.
"Thank you for your help."
Ning Fengzhi knew that Huo Yuan was once an elder of the Fire Leopard Sect, and was curious about why she joined the Soul Palace, but he did not ask his doubts at this time.
"Huo Yuan Guardian, I will lead these two guests to see the Palace Master. You continue to stand guard outside and see if anyone else comes to visit."
Ning Fengzhi did not come alone. No matter where he went, he would definitely be accompanied by one of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Zhan Kaishan appeared here in advance because he sensed the arrival of Sword Douluo.
Just as Sword Douluo was worried that something might happen to Ning Fengzhi if he came to the Soul Palace alone, Zhan Kaishan was also worried that these two people might have bad intentions when they went to see Xiao Mu, and he planned to protect Xiao Mu closely.
"Okay, thank you for troubling me, Great Lord."
Huo Yuan understood what Zhan Kaishan meant, nodded, and turned to leave.
"I wonder what your majesty's title is?"
When Ning Fengzhi noticed Zhan Kaishan's appearance, Sword Douluo became nervous, like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath, ready to show its edge at any time. He knew that this man must be a Titled Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi had seen Yang Ziqi from afar last night, and it was obviously not the person in front of him.
It seems that his guess was correct. There are indeed two Titled Douluo in the Soul Palace.
Zhan Kaishan said in a cold tone: "Title: Divine Axe."
"So it's His Majesty the Divine Axe Douluo. Nice to meet you."
Ning Fengzhi was not dissatisfied with Zhan Kaishan's indifference. Those who could cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm were all heroes among men, so it was not surprising that they had some strange tempers.
Along the way, Zhan Kaishan didn't say a word except these four words.
"Palace Master, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has arrived."
Xiao Mu stood up to greet him, "Sect Master Ning, please come in."
Ning Fengzhi did not look down on Xiao Mu because of his young age. He treated Xiao Mu with the same respect as he treated Zhan Kaishan.
"Palace Master Xiao, you are so polite. Please forgive me for my intrusive visit."
Ning Fengzhi has a good image and temperament, and his speech and behavior are also refreshing. During the casual chat, Ning Fengzhi also gave a gift.
Like Tang Yuehua, Ning Fengzhi also presented rare medicinal herbs.
Moreover, compared to the main ingredient of the fifth-grade Rejuvenating Pill sent by Tang Yuehua, the three herbs sent by Ning Fengzhi were all herbs that could be used to refine sixth- and seventh-grade pills, and they were not pills like the Rejuvenating Pill that had little effect on most soul masters.
"Master Ning, you are too polite. The Soul Palace has just been established, so I don't have much to offer in return. This bottle of elixir is for Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi quickly took the bottle of pills that Xiao Mu handed over.
He asked curiously, "Could this be the Soul Breaking Pill?"
Ning Fengzhi made this trip just to get to know Xiao Mu and establish a preliminary friendly relationship between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Soul Palace. He didn't expect to get any elixirs in return.
Xiao Mu shook his head and said:
"No, this pill is called the Soul-Nourishing Pill. It has the effect of increasing the power of the soul and mental strength. I heard that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's method of multitasking requires extremely strong mental strength to practice. This Soul-Nourishing Pill should be of some use."
The Soul-Nourishing Pill is a second-grade elixir. Xiao Mu only tried to refine one or two batches and took it himself. The effect was quite good and it also helped him in practicing the "Emperor Soul Art".
He refined the Soul-Nourishing Pill more to gain experience in refining the fourth-grade Soul-Upgrading Pill.
When Ning Fengzhi heard that it was not the Soul-Breaking Pill, he was a little disappointed at first, but his good self-control prevented him from showing it.
But after hearing Xiao Mu talk about the effect of the Soul-Nourishing Pill, Ning Fengzhi immediately regarded the Soul-Nourishing Pill in his hand as a treasure.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's distraction control method has an improvement effect on the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that is no less than increasing the soul power by two or three levels, and it may even be much greater.
The method of distraction control progresses from the Three-Aperture Controlled Heart to the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. The mental power required for each level up almost doubles.
However, the strength of mental power depends not only on personal talent, but also on the growth of soul power, which can be improved incidentally.
Sect leader Ning Fengzhi has already reached the level of a seven-aperture exquisite mind, so logically speaking, there is no possibility of further advancement.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit has its own limitations, and can only be cultivated to the Soul Saint realm at most, with no hope of breaking through in a lifetime.
If the Soul Nourishing Pill could really improve his mental strength, he might be able to reach the Soul Saint realm and take the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's distraction control method to a higher level.
"This return gift is too precious." Ning Fengzhi said.
In fact, compared with the medicinal materials sent by Ning Fengzhi, the value of the Soul Nourishing Pill is far less.
However, Xiao Mu monopolized the method of alchemy, and no one else had any judgment on the value of the elixir.
The medicinal herbs sent by Ning Fengzhi were just precious to him. Only when they were in Xiao Mu's hands could they produce real value.
"It's a matter of courtesy, and it's due courtesy. Sect Leader Ning, there's no need to be so polite."
Only then did Ning Fengzhi accept the pill.
"In that case, I'll boldly accept it."
After obtaining the Soul-Nourishing Pill, Ning Fengzhi attached much more importance to the Soul Palace.
There are pills that can enhance soul power, and there are pills that can enhance mental strength. Does the Soul Palace have other more magical pills?
It seems that the cultivation method of soul masters in Douluo Continent is about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Ning Fengzhi is not worried about the changes, he just hopes that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can stay at the forefront of these changes and not fall behind in the new era.
If possible, become one of the leaders of the new generation.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi knew better that as long as the Soul Palace continued to develop and did not die prematurely, it would definitely be the top force in the Douluo Continent in the future.
And most likely there isn't one.
With this understanding, Ning Fengzhi's attitude became more friendly.
Just then, the Huo Yuan came again.
"Palace Master, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire is outside. Do you want to see him?"
Of course, the status of the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire cannot compare to that of the leaders of the top three sects, but this place is near Tiandou City after all, and she doesn't know whether Xiao Mu will give this face to the Tiandou royal family.
Xiao Mu glanced at Ning Fengzhi.
"This Prince Xue Qinghe is Sect Master Ning's most distinguished disciple, and he's not an outsider. Please invite him in."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "I didn't expect Palace Master Xiao also knew about this. To be honest, I haven't been able to teach the Crown Prince anything."
Ning Fengzhi became Xue Qinghe's teacher purely out of interest.
The Tiandou Royal Family and the Qibao Liuli Sect both wanted to be on good terms with each other, and the two were nominally master and disciple.
Ning Fengzhi's statement that he didn't teach Xue Qinghe anything was obviously a humble statement. At least when Xiao Mu saw "Xue Qinghe", he felt that he had some of Ning Fengzhi's shadow.
In other words, Xue Qinghe's temperament and personality are somewhat similar to Ning Fengzhi's, and he may be intentionally imitating Ning Fengzhi's way of dealing with people.
When she met Xiao Mu, what she said was somewhat similar to Ning Fengzhi's.
"Teacher, I see you're here too."
After greeting Xiao Mu, Xue Qinghe also performed the disciple salute to Ning Fengzhi. Every move he made showed his royal demeanor.
