Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 121 Digging a Hole

Yang Ping'an looked at Ning Fengzhi for a while before speaking: "Sect Master Ning, the method I proposed does have some feasibility, but it is also quite difficult. After all, it is quite difficult to find a dragon-type soul beast with suitable amplification attributes and age."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "What you say is right, young friend. It is indeed difficult, but with the strength of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is only difficult, not impossible."

But Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Sect Leader Ning, I haven't tried this method myself. I can only say that it is feasible. The actual operation may be more troublesome than you imagine."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Thank you for your method, young friend. I am deeply grateful. May I ask what your plans are for the future? Have you ever considered joining my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Yang Ping'an remained calm: "Sect Leader Ning, I am currently a student at the Beast Academy, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will likely remain there as a teacher."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Young friend, you may not know your situation yet. As far as I know, your martial soul evolution has already attracted the attention of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang should have already contacted you. Given the domineering nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, I'm afraid they won't let you off so easily."

"Moreover, you also have a dragon-attribute martial soul. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan isn't that friendly to soul masters with dragon-attribute martial souls. You either have to join them or they'll exclude dissidents."

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the top three sects, and we have some connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As long as we mediate, we can definitely resolve the trouble you are facing. Moreover, once you join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, our sect will do its best to cultivate you. I can even ask Elder Bone to take you as a disciple. With a Title Douluo as your teacher, you will benefit greatly from your future cultivation."

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly: "Thank you for your favor, Sect Master Ning. I am still just a student of the Beast Academy. I would like to wait until the Soul Master Competition is over before discussing anything else."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "It is indeed a bit early to talk about these things now, but you can rest assured, young friend. From now on, you are a friend of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If you encounter any problems, you can mention the name of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

After speaking, Ni Fengzhi took out a golden token with a small, gleaming seven-treasure glazed pagoda on it.

"This token is the symbol of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If you encounter any trouble, you can seek help from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has businesses all over the continent. Holding this token is like the arrival of the sect leader, and it will definitely be of some help to you."

After speaking, Ning Fengzhi took out another Gold Soul Coin Card with a total of five million Gold Soul Coins, and placed it together with the original Gold Soul Coin Card.

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly and then collected everything on the table: "Thank you, Sect Master Ning. This junior will accept your thanks."

The two chatted for a while longer, and just as Yang Ping'an was about to leave, Xue Qinghe, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Student Yang, I didn't expect you to have such a thorough understanding of martial spirits and cultivation. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Crown Prince's residence anytime."

Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your favor, Your Highness. I may have to wait until after the Soul Master Competition to visit you again."

After Long Gong led Yang Ping'an away, the two sat quietly in the room.

At this moment, Long Gong suddenly spoke up: "Ping An, I can protect you now and prevent the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan from taking any measures against you, but this Soul Master Competition will eventually end, and you must also protect your own safety and consider your future."

"You did a good job just now. Both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family value you highly. Moreover, both Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi have good reputations and should be able to help you deal with the trouble caused by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

Yang Ping'an bowed and said, "Thank you for your protection recently, Dean, but I would like to wait until after the Soul Master Competition to decide on my future development."

Long Gong nodded, a helpless look on his face: "Ping An, you are very good. It's not that I don't want to keep you in the Beast Academy, but with your talent and strength, you should have a better platform. I believe that both the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will do their best to cultivate you. In particular, Ning Fengzhi even wants to ask Bone Douluo to take you as his disciple. With the formidable strength and protection of a Title Douluo, even if Yu Yuanzhen takes action, he probably can't do anything to you."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "Thank you for your guidance and protection, Dean. I prefer to cultivate in a low-key manner. Let's talk about the specifics after we have control of the competition."

After speaking, Yang Ping'an left the office, his previously warm expression instantly turning extremely cold.

Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhi came to find me, and even wanted to know how to evolve my martial soul. It seems that the impact of my martial soul evolution is greater than I imagined.

However, all that I just said was actually just setting a trap for them.

The so-called alliance of the three upper sects is nothing more than a matter of sharing interests and advancing and retreating together. However, there are definitely many conflicts behind the scenes. Especially after the incident involving Tang Hao and the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the so-called alliance of the three upper sects is probably already dead in name only.

As for the two suggestions he made, although they seemed to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve, their feasibility in practice was extremely low.

When it comes to immortal herbs and millennia-old spiritual medicines, these things are extremely rare and hard to come by. They are almost nonexistent in the entire Douluo Continent. Even if you have immense wealth, it's all for naught if you can't find the right immortal herb.

As for suggestions on absorbing dragon-attribute spirit rings, unfortunately, dragon-type spirit beasts are rare, and you should know that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has the highest requirements for dragon-attribute spirit rings. I wonder if the two families will fight over spirit rings.

Moreover, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to truly evolve, it definitely needs more than just one or two dragon-attribute soul beasts. It will probably require a lot of experiments and verification. Given the domineering nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, how could they possibly give in? In the end, the two families might even fight each other.

After Yang Ping'an and Long Gong left, Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Qinghe, what do you think of this Yang Ping'an? Is he worth recruiting and cultivating?"

Xue Qinghe bowed slightly: "Teacher, I think that although Yang Ping'an has said a lot, he definitely has a lot of secrets. I have recently consulted various materials. There are indeed Soul Masters with half-level innate Soul Power, but they are basically all due to poor talent. They easily enter a bottleneck and are basically unable to break through to the Soul Venerable realm."

"But this Yang Ping'an is quite the opposite. Not only is his cultivation speed getting faster and faster, but his combat power is also so outstanding. He doesn't look like a waste at all. Moreover, his mental strength and ability to deal with people and things are also very outstanding."

"If we really want to recruit and train him, it might be difficult to explain to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and there might be other hidden dangers as well."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Qinghe has grown considerably in handling matters over the past few years and can now stand on his own, but he still has some shortcomings in dealing with people."

"This Yang Ping'an does indeed have many secrets, and his value is definitely not what it seems on the surface. Given his solitary and cautious nature, if we bring him into the sect and nurture him carefully, we can eventually make him one of our own. Won't his secrets eventually belong to the sect as well?"

"As for the so-called hidden dangers, we can deal with them carefully. Nothing is more important than talent, especially before the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan discovers his true value. With just a little effort, it will be easier to make him wholeheartedly contribute to the sect."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Qinghe understood the meaning of Ning Fengzhi's words and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Ning Fengzhi simply shook his head: "Half-level innate soul power. If one only has cultivation methods and a little knowledge of martial souls, it would be impossible to develop to this level of strength. It seems that this Yang Ping'an is definitely not simple."
