Chapter 58: Swearing an Oath
Hearing Ning Fengzhi’s question, Bai Yu waved his hand and said with a smile,
“I wouldn’t dare say ‘guide,’ but the first seven spirit rings of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda offer quite comprehensive amplification. In fact, my own spirit ring configuration borrowed some elements from it.”
“As for the eighth and ninth spirit rings, Uncle Ning can try self-preservation Spirit Abilities or group defense. After all, the previous Spirit Abilities are considered the ultimate in amplification, so a balance would be good.”
Ning Fengzhi also laughed. It was naturally false for him to say he knew nothing about the last two spirit rings. After all, even if they weren't used, they had to be studied. What if someone got lucky and their Spirit evolved?
The configuration Bai Yu described was also the most recognized configuration within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as it could increase fault tolerance!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no choice. They already had two fewer spirit rings, so how could they showcase the splendor of the number one auxiliary Spirit without pursuing the ultimate amplification?
Once it evolved, the top priority was to ensure survival! Life-saving Spirit Abilities had to be arranged first!
“Haha, Nephew Bai, your research on Spirits is truly profound. I wonder if you have a Soul Convergence Seal suitable for me?”
Bai Yu smacked his lips and shook his head, saying,
“I really don’t have one. Although I can now make Soul Convergence Seals for Spirit Beasts under eighty thousand years, I don’t have enough time.”
“Moreover, high-level Spirit Beasts are hard to come by, and those I can research enough to make a Soul Convergence Seal are few and far between.”
Ning Fengzhi was a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations. After all, in-depth research on high-level Spirit Beasts was too difficult.
“Rongrong will need a while to absorb her spirit ring, so I won’t wait. I feel at ease leaving her with Nephew Bai, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“As for joining Spirit Hall, I will personally go to Spirit City to discuss this matter with the Supreme Pontiff.”
Bai Yu looked a little surprised. He knew Ning Fengzhi was eager to acquire a spirit ring, but he didn’t expect him to be so anxious. He quickly stood up, took out six lead boxes, and handed them over.
“Uncle Ning, take care. These are my betrothal gifts for Rongrong. Please accept them, Uncle Ning.”
“Oh, by the way, after you go back, you might consider taking a few more wives. After all, your Spirit has evolved now. What if you get lucky and another Nine Treasure appears?”
Ning Fengzhi took the lead boxes with a hesitant expression, then heard Bai Yu’s next words. His expression changed, and he no longer cared about the betrothal gifts, simply accepting them.
He secretly thought that Bai Yu was right; he should try. What if? What if it really worked out?
He then quickly bid farewell to Bai Yu, greeted Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and left Shrek Academy.
On the way, Bone Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was deep in thought, and couldn’t help but interrupt him.
“Fengzhi! Stop thinking about your concubines! You can find as many as you want later! Quickly take out that kid Bai Yu’s betrothal gifts and let’s see them. That kid is very generous; the items shouldn’t be bad.”
Ning Fengzhi was a bit embarrassed by this, but being an old fox, he showed no emotion on his face. He took out one of the lead boxes. As soon as he opened it, all three of their pupils constricted slightly.
“A Spirit Bone? And a high-grade Spirit Bone! Looking at this fluctuation, it won’t be less than thirty thousand years!”
Sword Douluo’s expression was solemn, and his voice was low.
Ning Fengzhi didn’t speak, exhaled, and then took out the remaining five lead boxes, opening them one by one.
“What a grand gesture! A complete set of Spirit Bones, none less than thirty thousand years! This betrothal gift is truly substantial!”
Bone Douluo exclaimed with emotion, secretly thinking how rich this kid was, giving away six Spirit Bones just like that.
Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile and said helplessly,
“It seems our agreement to join Spirit Hall was indeed a good move. From these betrothal gifts alone, you can see how profound Spirit Hall’s current foundation is!”
...
On Bai Yu’s side, after Ning Rongrong finished absorbing her spirit ring, her spirit power had already reached level 33. After complaining about her father for a while, she couldn’t help but go show off to her two little sisters.
However, she was a little afraid of Zhu Zhuqing now. If she got beaten up, how could she, a weak auxiliary Spirit Master, resist? So, she decided to find Xiao Wu first.
“Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu, come quickly and see! My pagoda has turned into Nine… uh… Zhuqing, you’re here too? Haha, what a coincidence, are you also looking for Xiao Wu?”
Ning Rongrong rushed into Xiao Wu’s room. Before she could finish her sentence, she felt so awkward she wanted to dig a hole. Oh no, she was caught!
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with strange eyes, and then Xiao Wu, with a mournful face, said to Zhu Zhuqing,
“Zhuqing, you win. Oh, my poor gold coins! Rongrong, I hate you!”
“Huh?”
Ning Rongrong was full of question marks, not knowing what these two little sisters were up to. She no longer cared about the awkwardness and asked curiously,
“What are you talking about?”
Hearing Ning Rongrong’s question, Xiao Wu glanced at her and said in a low voice,
“After the Dean came out, Zhuqing and I made a bet about what you two were talking about inside. Zhuqing said that when you came out, you’d be Bai Yu’s person, and I said no way. The bet was all the gold coins on us!”
“Rongrong, how could you be so spineless? And you’re even fighting Zhuqing for a man! Oh, my poor gold coins!”
Ning Rongrong’s face turned red with embarrassment. She blinked and carefully looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
“Zhuqing, you’re not angry, are you? Someone like Bai Ge will definitely have many women in the future. At that time, if you and I team up, how about I help you?”
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong, not bothering to pay attention to her. She reached out, took Xiao Wu’s small bag, and pulled out all the gold coins from it, saying,
“Don’t talk about Rongrong. That pretty little rabbit might become that pervert’s next meal someday too.”
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing say that about her, Xiao Wu’s dejected expression vanished instantly, and she said with full confidence,
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if there were no men left in the world, and I had to jump off a roof, there’s no way I’d become Bai Yu’s meal!”
Zhu Zhuqing sneered, not believing it at all! Ning Rongrong, seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn’t jump over to beat her up, also felt relieved and joined the fray.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, returned to his dorm. After working hard all night yesterday and playing mind games with the old fox all morning today, he planned to write some notes to relax.
“I didn’t expect Ning Fengzhi to come looking for me on only my second day in Heaven Dou City. That old fox guessed I was the Spirit Hall Saint Child and truly didn’t want to waste a moment. If my injuries weren’t light, I probably would have been attacked tonight!”
“But besides him coming quickly, everything else was as expected. In this life, I successfully brought him into the fold, to grow stronger with Spirit Hall and create new glories!”
“I only paid an Immortal Herb, some spirit tool data, and six Spirit Bones. In return, I gained the number one auxiliary Sect and also gained a Ning Rongrong. Not bad at all!”
In Spirit City, Bibi Dong, in a rare good mood, was shopping with Hu Liena. When she saw the content of the 'Instance', a cold light first flashed in her eyes, then turned to surprise.
Hu Liena didn’t pay too much attention; she only saw the phrase, “also gained a Ning Rongrong!” This made it difficult for her to accept.
“Teacher, can I go find my Junior Brother? It seems like a lot of fun there, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him. Your disciple wants to go see him!”
