Chapter 70: Purification
"Grandpa Bone, let's head back, I still have a soul bone skill I haven't tested!"
After testing the strength of Dan Lei (Dan Thunder), the two were ready to return home. Ning Bei still wanted to test the ability of the right arm bone from the Pure Heart White Deer.
"Oh? Is that the soul bone from the 100,000-year soul ring?"
"Yes, according to what that elder said before the sacrifice, this right arm bone has the ability to purify and refine bloodlines."
"Refine bloodlines? Can any bloodline be purified?"
Ning Bei shook his head.
"We don't know yet, so we need to try it out."
"Alright, let's go."
The two returned to the sect and went straight to the meeting hall, where they had someone summon Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
"Old bone, why did you call us here?"
Seeing that Ning Bei and the others had already arrived, Chen Xin directly asked the reason.
Gu Rong explained the process of testing the Dan Lei's strength to them. As they looked at him as though he were some kind of monster, he then introduced Ning Bei's right arm bone's ability.
"Refine bloodlines? Such a vague concept. It might be extraordinary, or it might not do much at all."
Chen Xin stroked his beard and thought for a moment, wondering about the feasibility of this ability.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had similar expressions.
"Bei'er, do you think the bloodline of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be purified?"
Ning Fengzhi's bold guess struck like lightning in the minds of Jian and Gu.
"Fengzhi, what do you mean?"
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Jian and Gu, who were staring at him.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. I wonder if the reason the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can't evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is because the bloodline purity isn't enough."
"This…"
Ning Bei was quite impressed with his line of thought. It was almost exactly what he had been thinking.
"Father, we should try it. There's no real cost to it."
"Mm."
"However, who should we test it on?"
"Let Rongrong do it. If I hadn't broken through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limit, I would be the most suitable to try it myself."
Ning Fengzhi immediately decided on who would undergo the experiment, thinking that refining the bloodline shouldn't be too dangerous.
Ning Bei and the others nodded in agreement with his idea.
They had Rongrong summoned. When the little girl saw the serious faces of the four, she thought she had done something wrong.
She quickly ran behind Ning Bei and hid.
"Father, Grandpa, why did you call me here?"
Ning Bei pulled the little girl out from behind him.
"Rongrong, big brother has just gained a new ability, and it might be very beneficial for you, so I called you here to try it."
Hearing that it wasn't because of something she had done wrong, Rongrong let out a sigh of relief. After listening to Ning Bei's explanation, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"What benefit? Let me try it, I want that benefit where I don't have to cultivate but my soul power increases!"
Her words made the four people in the room facepalm. This girl and Xiao Wu were both just as lazy.
"Ahem, ahem, Rongrong, stop daydreaming in broad daylight. I want that good stuff too."
"Huh? What is it? Show me quickly."
Ning Bei didn't waste any more time. After exchanging looks with Ning Fengzhi and the others, he nodded and gently placed his hand on the little girl's head, beginning to release the soul bone skill.
A pale white light appeared, enveloping Ning Rongrong.
"Big Brother, what is this? I feel so warm and comfortable!"
"Rongrong, don't get distracted. Pay close attention to the changes in your body."
Ning Fengzhi and the others fixed their gaze on Ning Rongrong as soon as the soul skill was activated, hoping to observe any changes in her body.
After a while, the light faded. The three of them looked slightly disappointed, as they didn't notice any change in Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes and looked down at her body. She glanced at everyone with a confused expression.
"What's going on? I don't feel any changes."
"It's fine, Rongrong. It's just that our guess didn't turn out quite as expected. There's no harm in it."
Ning Fengzhi reassured the little girl, intending to send her back.
At that moment, Ning Bei interrupted.
"Rongrong, did you feel an increase in your soul power? Or did the speed of your Martial Soul's cultivation improve? Even if it's just a little bit?"
After hearing her brother's question, the little girl closed her eyes and began to feel her Martial Soul.
After a while, she excitedly opened her eyes.
"Big Brother, my soul power did increase a little, about the same as seven days of cultivation."
"What?"
"Rongrong, really?"
Ning Fengzhi and the others were stunned as they looked at the siblings.
"Bei'er, what do you think? Tell us."
Ning Bei thought for a moment and then said:
"If the bloodline has been refined, then the changes in the Martial Soul might not be immediately apparent, as it's a long-term process. But the benefits should be immediately noticeable."
"So you mean, Rongrong's bloodline has indeed been refined, but it will take more time for her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve, right?"
Ning Bei nodded, confirming his thoughts.
"Exactly. The sudden improvement in bloodline purity will lead to the evolution of the Martial Soul, an increase in innate soul power, and an increase in soul power level."
"The evolution of the Martial Soul will take time, but the increase in innate soul power and soul power level should show noticeable results. In other words, using my soul bone skill to refine the bloodline over time will undoubtedly bring endless benefits."
A hint of excitement appeared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
"Wonderful! This means that in the future, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will not just have two Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, but much more!"
Rongrong's thoughts were simpler; she just wanted to increase her soul power.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, give me more! I want to break through to Soul Saint today."
Ning Bei looked at her with a black line on his face and gave her a light slap on the head.
"You think it's like buying cabbage on the street? You want more? Do you think I can use the soul bone skill that easily?"
"Ugh, that hurts! Stinky Big Brother, if you don't want to, then don't do it!"
The little girl held her head and immediately pouted.
Ning Fengzhi and the others smiled at the scene.
"Bei'er, now it's up to you to refine Rongrong's bloodline."
Hearing that there would be more of these benefits in the future, Rongrong quickly changed her expression to a big smile and looked at her brother with eager eyes.
At that moment, Ning Bei shook his head.
"Father, did you forget that I still have a Qiluo Yujinxiang in the Dan Tower? We don't need to put too much effort into refining Rongrong's bloodline for now. In a few years, when the celestial herb matures, I can have her take it directly. I think it's better for Big Brother to return to the sect first. I'll refine his bloodline for him, and when the next celestial herb matures, we can have him take it then."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, Ning Fengzhi suddenly understood. He had forgotten that Ning Bei's Dan Tower also had the effect of accelerating the growth of celestial herbs. He was also happy for his eldest son.
Talent had indeed limited Ning Fan's progress. Over the years, thanks to Ning Bei's pill effects, Ning Fan had only barely broken through to the Soul King realm at the age of 23.
This was pretty good compared to his peers, but after seeing Ning Bei's genius and Rongrong's obvious talent, they couldn't help but look down on Ning Fan's cultivation.
