"Since that's the case, what are we still waiting for? Let's hurry back together. When Father hears this news, he will definitely be very happy."
Ning Rongrong's words sounded strange. On the surface, she seemed to be talking about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but it somehow felt like there was another meaning hidden inside.
Chen Ming waved his hand.
"The transformation of a Martial Soul is a process that brings great pain and pressure. Let's wander around outside for a while first and adjust your state of mind. After that, we'll go back."
In truth, Chen Ming already knew a faster and easier way to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break through.
But to Ning Rongrong, his words sounded like a warning. If the breakthrough failed, it might put her life in danger.
Her face turned a little pale.
Even so, she gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and soon showed a smile full of fighting spirit.
Break through, or rather die.
Every Spirit Master who could reach the limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was willing to risk their life to break past that limit.
As long as they could prove the path ahead existed.
As long as they could prove that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could reach a higher level.
Then sacrificing their life truly did not mean much to them.
People from the modern age might find this hard to understand, but this was an extreme clan mindset.
The clan's future mattered far more than a single person's honor or life. As long as the clan could grow and prosper, even dying for it would not bring fear.
Ning Rongrong did not notice Chen Ming turn his head and wink at a middle-aged man in the corner.
That hidden guard, who had followed Ning Rongrong all the way from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, showed a surprised expression. Then he cupped his fists slightly toward Chen Ming and disappeared without alerting Ning Rongrong at all.
He was a Spirit Saint-level Spirit Master, and he had the space attribute, an extremely rare attribute among all types.
In this era, he counted as a very strong expert.
Ning Rongrong herself did not notice. Or rather, even if she did notice, she would not take it to heart.
After all, she actually knew very well that ever since she was young, every time she thought she had secretly run out, there were always several hidden guards behind her.
But after that guard heard Chen Ming's words just now, there was no way he would not return and report to Ning Fengzhi.
A moment later, another middle-aged man sat where the previous man had been.
He cupped his fists toward Chen Ming.
This man was a Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was the previous man's deputy.
Over the next few days, Chen Ming took Ning Rongrong around Suotuo City, waiting for the time that should have happened in the original story, to see whether the people from that original story would appear here.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, Yu Yuanzhen had already returned.
This time, he had gone out partly to hunt high-level ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts for materials and Spirit Bones.
But he also had another hidden purpose.
"Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast flesh, thousand-year lingzhi, thousand-year snow lotus, the heart of a ten-thousand-year tiger-type Spirit Beast, a hundred-thousand-year true dragon scale, and this bone powder left behind by our ancestor…"
Under Yu Yuanzhen's orders, the pharmacists of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan took out all the best medicinal materials and carefully mixed them into a bathing formula suitable for an infant.
Seeing such luxurious medicine being used like this, Yu Luomian could not help feeling pained.
"Big Brother, is it really necessary to be this extravagant?"
"Only a tiny part of the essence from these medicines can be used, and then it has to be weakened until even a baby can bear it."
"Have you really thought about how much will be wasted?"
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan hasn't fallen so low that we need to bet every possible hope on a baby, has it?"
"Tianheng and Tianxin both have good talent too. In the past, it might have been hard for them to become Titled Douluo, yes. But now, with better guidance, their future achievements won't be weaker than mine."
"They won't get stuck like I did. They'll become real Titled Douluo."
Most of the materials were still acceptable in Yu Luomian's eyes.
But the last two made his heart ache.
The scale of a hundred-thousand-year true dragon Spirit Beast was actually from a hundred-thousand-year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
It was a material left behind long ago by the ancestors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. Every bit used meant one bit less. There would never be more.
And as for the bone powder left by the ancestor…
Most people in the clan might not know, but Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen both knew very well what their ancestor's true origin was, and what kind of power was hidden in that bone powder.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan did not even know that the ancestor's tomb was actually empty.
"You don't understand."
Yu Yuanzhen's voice was firm.
"When Xiaogang was just born, I could sense a special potential in him. But back then, I didn't know what it meant."
"Only when he awakened his Martial Soul did I finally confirm it. That potential was the legendary golden bloodline."
"But after his Martial Soul awakened, the golden bloodline in his body fell silent. Because of a harmful mutation, he awakened a swine Martial Soul."
"You think I've always spoiled Xiaogang too much? You're right. I did."
"But it wasn't only because of my personal feelings. It was also because he had the golden bloodline that existed only in the legends of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan."
"If this bloodline can be passed down steadily, it will greatly strengthen the sect."
"Xiaogang didn't have enough foundation or resources, so his golden bloodline mutated in a bad way. I already suffered that loss once. No matter what, I have to find a way to raise this generation's child properly."
"As long as their Martial Soul can awaken into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and as long as they can inherit even a trace of the golden bloodline, then all these materials will be worth it."
"You saw it too. When Xiaogang, Erlong, and that Flender formed the Golden Iron Triangle, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill summoned the Golden Holy Dragon."
"That was a Martial Soul truly far stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"Fine. Big Brother, since you've said that, what else can I say? I'll follow your lead…"
Before Yu Luomian could finish, the midwife waiting in the other room suddenly shouted.
"It's coming! It's coming! The child is about to be born!"
"Sect Master, Grand Elder, pay attention! The child is about to be born!"
