Ning Rongrong was very happy to hear that Bai Yu had given her a gift, since her good friend Zhu Zhuqing had one, so she should have one too!
However, she had a feeling that something was off about their conversation, so she couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, since this immortal herb was given to the sect by Brother Bai, of course you should use it yourself. Also, I have a feeling that you're hiding something from me? What kind of code are you talking about?"
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Bai Yu and Ning Fengzhi both turned to look at her, then exchanged a glance.
Ning Fengzhi threatened with his eyes, "Don't tell anyone!" Bai Yu responded with his eyes, "Okay, okay, I know!"
After all, it's not a pleasant thing to talk about selling one's daughter like this. If Ning Rongrong finds out, she'll definitely be furious!
Upon seeing this scene, Ning Rongrong knew that something was definitely not being told to her. Her cheeks gradually puffed out as she looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, look at them! They're bullying us!"
Sword and Bone had no idea what riddle the old fox and the little fox were playing. One of them frantically scratched his head while the other frantically fidgeted, trying to comfort Ning Rongrong.
"Ahem, Xiao Bai, may I ask what the purpose of this immortal herb is? Are there any taboos?"
Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and began to change the subject.
Bai Yu reached up and scratched the corner of his mouth, suppressing a laugh, and said softly:
"Uncle Ning first releases his martial spirit, then holds the golden fruit. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl senses that it is suitable for someone and will naturally fall off."
"Of course, a perfect fit is virtually impossible, but as long as you get half of its approval, you can take it off."
Ning Rongrong and the other two looked over when they heard Bai Yu's amazing words, while Ning Fengzhi's face showed excitement and unease.
He then took a deep breath, released his martial spirit, and reached out to grasp the Star Luo Spirit Orb.
When the person and the flower came into contact, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl emitted rays of silver light, surrounding Ning Fengzhi.
After a while, two-fifths of the silver light wrapped around the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, one-fifth wrapped around Ning Fengzhi, and the remaining two-fifths retreated into the golden fruit.
"Okay, Uncle Ning, you can take it off now!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, exerted a little force in his hand, and the golden fruit trembled twice before falling to the ground, while the black flower branch withered and turned to dust instantly.
"Alas, just as my nephew said, the approval is only slightly more than half. I wonder if this will affect the medicinal effect? If it does, then it's truly a waste of this immortal herb!"
Bai Yu waved his hand and chuckled softly.
"Hehe, Uncle Ning, you can rest assured that the medicine's effects will definitely not be affected. However, if you fully approve, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl will grant your Martial Soul an ability to draw upon the brilliance of the stars, ensuring an inexhaustible source of soul power."
"But it's basically impossible for an Immortal herb to fully acknowledge someone. I've only met one such person over the years, so there's no need to force it."
Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, then became curious: what kind of person could gain the complete approval of the immortal herb?
"I wonder who this person you're referring to, my dear nephew? Could it be yourself?"
Bai Yu shook its head, a strange smile on its face.
"You'll find out later, so don't be surprised. Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now that we've taken it off, go consume the Star Luo Spirit Pearl first."
Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched. He had a feeling that Bai Yu had ill intentions. Did he know that person? He then shook his head. He would find out later anyway, so why think about it?
Ning Fengzhi stopped thinking about these things, opened his mouth and swallowed the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, then closed his eyes to absorb it.
Bai Yu looked at Ning Rongrong and waved to her.
"Rongrong, come here. This flower is called Beautiful Silk Tulip. When using it, gently suck the stamen until the flower withers, and then use your soul power to absorb the medicinal power."
Ning Rongrong smiled, ran to Bai Yu's side, hugged his neck, kissed him on the cheek, and took the jade box.
"Thank you, Brother Bai. I'll take the immortal herb; I won't stand on ceremony!"
Bai Yu calmly endured the angry glares from the two titled douluos, touched his face, and thought to himself:
"She is indeed a soft girl, but she is also really small. She needs to be nurtured for a few more years!"
Bai Yu wasn't worried about Ning Rongrong not growing up. After all, everyone in the Douluo World was exceptionally talented, and those below C level were rarer than national treasures!
(TL: idk about the novel or anime, but in the manhua even in her god age she looks very petite and almost even qualifying as a loli, so no she doesn't grow any further)
Time passed slowly, and the sun had passed its zenith. Ning Fengzhi opened his eyes, and the fluorescent light around him gradually dissipated.
"Fengzhi, how are you feeling? Is this herb effective?"
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi awaken, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo quickly approached, using their soul power to create sound barrier so as not to disturb Ning Rongrong, and then asked with hope in their eyes.
Ning Fengzhi's expression kept changing because he felt that he had broken through the limit and reached level 80. Then, feeling uneasy, he released his martial soul.
"One, two,..., seven, eight, nine! Nine floors! It really is nine floors!"
"Haha, Fengzhi, congratulations! You've finally fulfilled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's dream, and your martial soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
At this moment, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo seemed even more excited than Ning Fengzhi. On the contrary, Ning Fengzhi, as the master of the martial soul, stared blankly at the martial soul in his hand.
"Why are you all so agitated? Do you think Brother Bai would lie to you? Dad and grandpas you're all so excited!"
Ning Rongrong had finished absorbing the Beautiful Silk Tulip by then. Looking at her two grandfathers who were laughing excitedly and her father who was dumbfounded, she spoke with a hint of disdain.
Hearing his daughter's teasing, Ning Fengzhi recovered and coughed lightly, thinking to himself that his little darling was really leaky.
"Cough cough, Rongrong, how are you? Release your martial spirit so Dad can take a look."
Ning Rongrong was also very anxious, but she felt that since Bai Yu said it wouldn't be worse than the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, then it definitely wouldn't be worse!
Upon hearing her father's question, Ning Rongrong immediately released her martial soul, wanting to admire her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Unlike Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which shimmered with silver light like twinkling stars, her martial spirit shimmered with golden light, exuding elegance and nobility, with its nine-story structure coming into view.
"I knew it! Brother Bai wouldn't lie. By the way, I've broken through to level 30. Brother Bai, do you have a Soul Power Sacred Wood Soul Ring? The third Soul Skill of the Seven Treasures...Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda requires a Soul Power attribute Soul Ring, and Soul Power Sacred Wood would be perfect!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong excitedly rattle off a whole bunch of things, Bai Yu smiled, took out a Soul Gathering Seal, handed it to her, and said:
"Yes, of course, a level three Soul Gathering Seal, with a maximum age of three thousand years. You know how to use it."
Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked curiously at the piece of iron in Ning Rongrong's hand. As she used her soul power to activate it, a purple soul ring appeared, making their eyes almost pop out!
Although they already knew about this from the information they received, hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things. You'll never know how amazing it is until you experience it for yourself.
"Is this the Soul Gathering Seal of Nephew Bai? It is indeed miraculously amazing. By the way, it is said that Nephew Bai has a very high level of knowledge about Soul Ring configuration. Our sect has never produced a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and we know nothing about the last two rings. Nephew Bai, do you have any guidance?"
