People in Douluo: Becoming a God through Simulation Panel

Chapter 188: Transaction, Human Nature

On the morning of the second day after Wang Qi and Qian Renxue traded the Sun, Moon and Star Ultimate Tonic, Wang Qi had just finished a night of practice and was about to go to breakfast, but he saw Ning Fengzhi sitting in the living room with Ning Rongrong and the two elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

On the side were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, both looking helpless.

It is true that Dugu Bo is unreasonable, and it is also true that he cannot do anything to his own people.

Especially when dealing with those who used to be hypocritical but are sincere to you, there is absolutely no way you can do anything about it.

It was just dawn and Dugu Bo had just finished a night of practice and was about to go to the yard to water the flowers. As a result, he saw four people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at the gate, their bodies covered with dew. Next to them was a pile of gifts that were obviously very valuable just by looking at the packaging.

Just as he was about to chase them away, he saw Ning Fengzhi being so humble that he almost knelt down. Startled, Dugu Bo hurried forward to support Ning Fengzhi, and welcomed everyone in without waiting for Ning Fengzhi to speak.

After hearing what Ning Fengzhi asked for, Dugu Bo felt very embarrassed. Before he could finish his refusal, he felt that Ning Fengzhi was about to continue kneeling, so he was so scared that he ended the topic directly.

What? Ning Fengzhi wouldn't defile himself like this?
Ning Fengzhi doesn't even care about his reputation anymore?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has no self-respect?

Maybe it is true, or maybe in Ning Fengzhi's heart, some things are more important than dignity.

After all, Ning Fengzhi's actions were so shameful that even the two elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect did not stop him.

There was no way. The two people who joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and lived in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for decades knew Ning Fengzhi's obsession too well.

In other words, Chen Xin and Gu Rong knew better than anyone else the obsession of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Ning Family's generations of patriarchs in evolving the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Tower, or even the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Tower.

The entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect paid too much to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

It was so much that Gu Rong, who had always thought that he was not a good person, felt it was cruel; it was so much that Chen Xin, who had always thought that his desire to seek the truth was indestructible, wavered in his determination.

An experiment, an experiment that lasted for thousands of years, using human lives. Ever since becoming an elder of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Bone Douluo felt admiration after seeing where the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's old leader went.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family are all different from the Haotian Sect.

Because the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul can only absorb seven soul rings at most, which means that the soul master who awakens the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul can only cultivate to the Soul Saint at most.

This results in the maximum lifespan of each generation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader being no more than a hundred years, but the reign of each generation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's leader will not exceed forty years.

It stands to reason that people in their sixties and seventies are at their prime in this world of extraordinary power, and it is a good time to develop a sect. However, in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the age at which the leader abdicates will basically not exceed seventy years old.

The reason is simple, it is to contribute to the evolution of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's martial soul.

Use his own life and body to open up a road to heaven for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower to evolve into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tower.

Basically, the leader of each generation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would die within three to five years of abdication and become a martyr.

Now that Ning Rongrong has become Qian Renxue's queen, all they have to do is wait for the establishment of the Wuhun Empire. With the great favor Ning Rongrong did for Qian Renxue today, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will definitely receive good rewards in the Wuhun Empire, which is establishing a unified dynasty on the Douluo Continent. At least Ning Fengzhi won't have to worry about the future development of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In other words, in ten years at most, Ning Fengzhi would follow in the footsteps of his fathers and die in pursuit of the higher realm of the so-called Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

In other words, Ning Fengzhi may die in the near future.

You may die for an illusory goal, you may die for a goal that has never been achieved, you may die for a belief that is about to collapse.

Ning Fengzhi even planned to abolish the rule that the head of the family must die as a martyr after abdication before he abdicated.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. I originally wanted Ning Rongrong to show off in front of Her Highness Qian Renxue, but unexpectedly, such a big surprise occurred.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul actually evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul. No, Ning Rongrong's martial soul is not the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, because at the bottom of the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul, you can vaguely see the shadow of a layer of glazed pagoda.

Ning Rongrong is now a Soul Saint. As long as her next soul ring is properly matched, or if she takes another bottle of Sun, Moon and Star Ultimate Tonic, Ning Rongrong is likely to directly evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul.

This was achieved in one step, and it directly fulfilled the wish of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that had been in place for thousands of years.

But the inheritance of martial souls was too random, and Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether the martial soul evolution that Ning Rongrong achieved with the use of treasures could be inherited.

In order to ensure that the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit evolved from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would continue to be passed down in the future, Ning Fengzhi still came to the Tiandou Palace that night, even though it was impolite to visit Qian Renxue at night.

After showing his loyalty to Qian Renxue, Wang Qi learned that he was the source of the ultimate tonic of Sun and Moon Star. He did not rest for almost a day and a night, and even did not release any soul power to show his sincerity. He did not even order anyone to inform. He just stood in front of the gate of Dugu's house as a mortal, waiting for someone to discover the four of them.

Of course there is another reason, that is, Wang Qi's whereabouts are too secretive, so secretive that unless someone follows Wang Qi all the time and stays by Wang Qi's side, there is a high probability that Wang Qi's whereabouts will be lost.

It can be said that Wang Qi was famous for his mysterious appearances. Ning Fengzhi had inquired about it and found that if Wang Qi had not made an agreement with Qian Renxue to participate in the Soul Master Competition, Wang Qi would have been "missing" long ago.

This is also the reason why Qian Renxue reminded Wang Qi to be careful when trying to trick the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

There was no other reason. In this absolute seller's market, based on Qian Renxue's understanding of Wang Qi, if Ning Fengzhi wanted to make a deal, he would definitely be cheated by Wang Qi.

In order to avoid taking over a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that was temporarily unable to form combat effectiveness, Qian Renxue could only ask Wang Qi to be gentle.

From Dugu Bo's soul power transmission, Wang Qi knew the general situation. Looking at Ning Fengzhi and the other three who were sitting at the other end of the sofa, they seemed to want to say something but were restraining themselves. Wang Qi took out three jade bottles from the soul guide.

Different from the three jade bottles of different qualities given to Qian Renxue before, the jade bottle in Wang Qi's hand this time is of high-quality, that is, a treasure that can store the ultimate tonic of the Sun, Moon and Stars for a thousand years.

"Three conditions." Wang Qi raised three fingers and said softly.

"First, I want a copy of Elder Jian Douluo Chen Xin's practice notes on artistic conception. Don't worry, I won't pass it on to others."

"Second, I need Sect Master Ning to help me find some top-quality jade, and to open up all of your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's collection of books to me in the next three years."

"Third, I want to pick three treasures from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's treasury." Was Wang Qi making a profit or a loss by exchanging the three conditions he proposed for three bottles of the Sun, Moon and Star Ultimate Tonic?
Strictly speaking, it was Wang Qi who lost.

Whether you look at the problem from Ning Fengzhi's perspective or from Wang Qi's perspective, Wang Qi is at a loss.

The first condition was equivalent to not being mentioned, because in exchange for some resources and in the hope of getting Qian Daoliu's guidance, Chen Xin had already submitted his own understanding of the sword to the merit system in the Spirit Hall.

In other words, Wang Qi can use his status as a worshipper and spend some worship points to gain Chen Xin's understanding of the sword. The difference between this and exchange is perhaps that one contains some hidden goods, while the other contains only the real goods.

Don't get me wrong, the smuggled goods are what Wang Qi traded privately with Chen Xin, and the complete goods are handed over to the merit system.

The difference between the two is that the one with hidden content has the problem-solving process, which, although complicated, is Chen Xin's lifelong understanding of the way of the sword. The one with real content is how to practice, and how to practice is summarized with a word "briefly", and then the answer is given directly.

It's not just a perfunctory response, but it goes straight to the core. This requires the person who has gained the comprehension of the sword to have an extremely strong talent in the sword.

Of course, in the merit system, most of these note-like things go straight to the core of the problem. Those notes that carry private information are either obtained by killing people and stealing treasures, or there is no successor, so there is no choice but to leave behind all the inheritance.

What Wang Qi wanted was Chen Xin’s understanding of the way of the sword and the problems he encountered in the process of practicing the way of the sword.

After obtaining the seventh soul ring and the third soul ring of the alchemy furnace martial soul, although Wang Qi's mental power has grown, he is still essentially in the early stage of the Spirit Realm. Even though Wang Qi has seen the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, he is still in the early stage.

This made Wang Qi realize the slow growth of his mental power. As one can learn from others' experience, Wang Qi's idea was to comprehend a certain artistic conception through the comprehension of swordsmanship or the notes of other powerful people, and then improve the artistic conception and standing meditation, so that his mental power could grow rapidly.

The second one is equivalent to giving it away for free. Who in the entire continent doesn’t know Wang Qi’s name now?

Over the past thousand years, titles such as the continent's strongest prodigy, the most evil genius, the most promising peerless warrior to become a god, etc. have spread throughout the streets and alleys.

With Wang Qi's talent and ability, most people would not be able to find an opportunity to curry favor with him. Of course, Ning Fengzhi from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is definitely not one of those people who cannot be curryed favor with.

As long as Wang Qi said so, Ning Fengzhi was willing to let Wang Qi view the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's collection of books. Of course, Wang Qi would have to pay a certain price to do so.

For example, accepting a disciple from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, or giving a small portion of the gains from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's collection of books to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and so on.

It can be said that for Ning Fengzhi, this condition requires almost no cost, and it can even help him to build a better relationship with Wang Qi. Why not do it?

Among these three conditions, the only thing that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect needs to pay may be the three treasures in the treasury.

Is the condition of being able to choose three treasures considered a condition in Ning Fengzhi's eyes?

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was famous for its wealth and power, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower was able to resonate with precious minerals, gemstones and other valuable items, even if the people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect did not recognize those treasures.

But even if they don’t know it, they will still buy it when they realize it is a treasure.

This means that while the treasury of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is filled with treasures, one can also enjoy the pleasure of opening a blind box.

To be honest, when Ning Fengzhi heard the three conditions proposed by Wang Qi, he subconsciously felt that he should compensate Wang Qi a little. After all, a treasure of the level of the Sun, Moon and Star Ultimate Tonic was only exchanged for such a small amount. He always felt that the wealthy Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was getting a great bargain.

"Brother Wang Qi, three treasures are too few. How about this, thirty." Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Ning Rongrong was about to help Wang Qi increase the benefits.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi also agreed with this point, so he did not interrupt Ning Rongrong and even maintained a supportive attitude.

"No, if I say three, then it means three. However, I want to choose from all the treasures in your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"Okay, my friend, I agree to your three conditions, but Uncle Jian's sword notes need a few days to be sorted out. Why don't you take this time to go to our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to select treasures and go to the library to view the collection of books."

Ning Fengzhi was even more decisive. Although he didn't know why Wang Qi put forward these three conditions, he still chose to follow Wang Qi's wishes.

"No rush for now. I have to go to Tiandou Royal Academy later. I will come to your sect tomorrow to bother you again."

Wang Qi was rarely polite to Ning Fengzhi, then he directly threw three bottles of Sun, Moon and Star Ultimate Tonic to Ning Fengzhi and went to have breakfast without paying any attention to the reactions of the four people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had now achieved their goal, and after a few words of anger with Dugu Blog, they said goodbye and left.

"Looking at their expressions, it seems like you've suffered a loss. Is that okay?"

Dugu Yan had recovered her spirits. She sat next to Wang Qi and asked the questions in her mind naturally.

"It's not a loss. After all, if we don't do this, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect won't take out some of the treasures hidden in the bottom of the box."

Wang Qi never believed that people would be so open-hearted to another person because of guilt. Wang Qi understood people like Ning Fengzhi because Wang Qi and Ning Fengzhi were the same type of people.

Wang Qi is even more inhumane than Ning Fengzhi. If their identities were switched, Wang Qi would meet the rising genius Ning Fengzhi. After the same thing happened, Wang Qi might take out some treasures and put them into the treasury, or he might search the treasury carefully before Wang Qi arrived, and then plunder the treasury again.

As for guilt? That thing can't be eaten. Of course, Wang Qi will definitely leave the spoils related to Wang Qi in the treasury.

For example, Ye Lingling, who had a good relationship with Wang Qi, would not take away any of the treasures received by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect when the Immortal Sect was wiped out, leaving them for Wang Qi to choose.

In this way, no matter how picky Wang Qi was, he would not be able to find a reason to take action.

"I suddenly realize that you are becoming more and more cunning. Sometimes I wonder if I should be more cautious when I get along with you in the future."

"Beware of me? You should be a little bit careful of me. After all, sometimes I can be quite inhumane."

Sometimes the truth is often spoken in the form of a joke. Wang Qi felt emotional as he looked at Dugu Yan who was eating quietly at the side.
