Chapter 121 Completely Accepted (Third Update)

He reached out and took the gold card.

"In that case, I, Lin, will accept this without hesitation. Thank you for your generous gift, Sect Master Ning."

Seeing Lin Qiyue accept the gold card without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi felt somewhat relieved.

Problems that can be solved with money are at least clearly priced.

What he fears most is that the other party doesn't want anything, which actually means they have bigger ambitions.

Having laid the groundwork, Ning Fengzhi finally asked the most crucial question of the trip.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with unprecedented fervor, and his voice was lowered.

"Young friend Lin, I have another request, which may seem a bit presumptuous, but it truly concerns the rise and fall of our sect, so I must ask. I wonder if you possess—a second 'Qiluo Tulip'?"

"Or, do you know where I can find similar immortal herbs that can promote the evolution of martial souls, especially those for gem-type martial souls?"

He paused, his tone becoming even more earnest.

"As long as young friend Lin can provide clues, or is willing to part with some valuables, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to pay any price! Gold Soul Coins, Soul Bones, treasured cultivation manuals, and even some secrets accumulated by our sect—as long as young friend Lin asks, I, Ning, will not refuse! Furthermore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can become the Moon Goddess Palace's most steadfast ally, providing the Moon Goddess Palace with all conveniences and support throughout the Heaven Dou Empire and even the entire continent!"

These words practically laid bare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's trump card and sincerity.

Ning Fengzhi is prepared to pay a huge price and even become deeply bound to the Moon Goddess Palace to some extent in order to obtain the immortal herb that can evolve his martial soul.

Because the appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda not only signifies the birth of a genius, but also represents the only hope for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to break through the shackles of a thousand years and move towards a higher level!

This hope was worth risking the future of the entire sect for!

Moreover, Rongrong will definitely marry Lin Qiyue in the future, and Rongrong is destined to be the next sect leader.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is destined to be bound to the Moon Goddess Palace, and Lin Qiyue's potential and strength are undeniable.

All I can say is that this deal was a good one.

Lin Qiyue listened quietly, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the smooth stone tabletop, producing a soft tapping sound.

He did not answer immediately.

The atmosphere inside the stone pavilion became somewhat heavy because of his silence.

Ning Fengzhi's heart also tightened, and he stared intently at Lin Qiyue, waiting for his reply.

Inside the stone pavilion, time seemed to flow slowly with the tapping of fingertips on the table.

Ning Fengzhi's heart pounded higher and higher with each knock, almost leaping out of his throat.

He had laid all his chips on the table, and all his expectations rested on Lin Qiyue's next words.

Finally, Lin Qiyue stopped tapping, raised her eyes, and looked calmly at Ning Fengzhi.

He no longer addressed him as "Sect Leader Ning," but instead used a more intimate form of address.

"Uncle Ning."

The word "Uncle Ning" sent a jolt through Ning Fengzhi's heart!

He knew that this was not just a change in address, but also represented a subtle shift in Lin Qiyue's attitude and stance. He began to truly regard him as one of his own, or at least as an elder with a close relationship with Rongrong, rather than merely the leader of a cooperative force.

Lin Qiyue's voice was gentle: "I have the immortal herb."

Those four short words were like heavenly music, instantly easing Ning Fengzhi's tense nerves and filling him with an indescribable joy!

Yes! He actually has it!

But Lin Qiyue didn't finish her sentence: "However, as you know, immortal herbs are precious and hard to find in the world. Although I have some, they are not inexhaustible. Every one I use is one less."

Ning Fengzhi nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand! Such rare treasures are not easily obtained. Young friend Lin—it is already an incredible stroke of luck that you were able to possess them in July."

Lin Qiyue nodded and continued.

"However, since this immortal herb is for you, Uncle Ning, for Rongrong's father, and for our future allies who will share weal and woe with the Moon Goddess Palace—then I am willing."

He paused, his tone becoming serious: "But I also have a hope, or rather, a request."

"Feel free to speak your mind in July!"

Ning Fengzhi immediately stated that he would agree to any request, whether it was ten or a hundred, as long as he could fulfill it.

"I hope that from now on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Moon Goddess Palace can truly become allies who share weal and woe, have intertwined interests, and move in unison."

Lin Qiyue looked into Ning Fengzhi's eyes and said, word by word.

"It's not just superficial cooperation, but a true partnership. No matter how the situation on the continent changes in the future, no matter what challenges or choices we face, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will stand firmly on the side of the Moon Goddess Palace. Similarly, the Moon Goddess Palace will be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's most reliable backing."

Lin Qiyue was clearly telling Ning Fengzhi that what he needed was not an ordinary ally who might change their mind at any time due to interests, but a true friend whom he could entrust his back to.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Fengzhi immediately and resolutely replied, "Of course! Qiyue, rest assured, from the moment Rongrong chose you, the fate of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been inextricably linked with yours and the Moon Goddess Palace! Today, you have gifted me the immortal herb, helping my sect break free from its shackles. This kindness and favor will be forever etched in the hearts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! I, Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and as Rongrong's father, swear: From this day forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Moon Goddess Palace will be of one spirit and share both glory and disgrace. If we break this vow, may heaven and earth forsake us!"

He had always been optimistic about Lin Qiyue's potential and the Moon Goddess Palace, and Rongrong had a close relationship with her, so they were destined to be together in the future.

For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a deep partnership with the Moon Goddess Palace is definitely more beneficial than harmful, and could even be a huge opportunity for the school's rise!

Moreover, he still needs someone's help, and from a moral, rational, and self-interest perspective, he has no reason to refuse.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi agree so readily and solemnly, Lin Qiyue smiled with satisfaction.

That's the attitude and the promise he wanted.

"Good! With Uncle Ning's words, I can rest assured."

He didn't say anything more polite or probing. With a flick of his right hand, a soft purple-gold light flashed.

The next moment, a tulip, almost identical to the one given to Ning Rongrong, exuding an air of elegance and fragrance, appeared in his palm and was handed to Ning Fengzhi.

"This Qiluo tulip will be entrusted to Uncle Ning. I hope it will help you go further and lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to an even more glorious future."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the immortal herb he had longed for, and his breathing became rapid.

He stretched out his hands, trembling slightly with excitement, and carefully accepted the tulip, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.

The herb felt warm and smooth to the touch, and the vast yet gentle energy it contained made his soul power subtly leap with joy.

"Thank you—July!"

All those words were ultimately reduced to just these two syllables and an unwavering gaze.

"Uncle Ning guarantees that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will stand with the Moon Goddess Palace from this day forward!"

That's enough.

Lin Qiyue nodded with a smile.

"Uncle Ning, there's no time to lose. Why don't you absorb this immortal herb right here?"
