Douluo Continent: Divine Oracle Young General, Qian Renxue, please have some self-respect.

Ning Rongrong felt a surge of superiority.

This is Jiang Ci's private area!

The noble ladies of the capital city were usually quite curious about this place, but it was a place they could never possibly visit.

If they knew that they could not only come here, but also stay here, I wonder how envious and jealous they would be.

In contrast, Ning Rongrong was somewhat smug.

He didn't notice Ning Rongrong's curious gaze and somewhat inexplicable excitement.

Jiang Ci pointed to the room in the center ahead:

That's my room.

"The rooms next door are all unoccupied. Since Rongrong wants to stay in the manor and study with me, just choose any room."

"Have someone clean and furnish the place later, then you can move in immediately."

Jiang Ci has no family.

Therefore, he usually lives alone in the main courtyard, leaving many rooms empty.

Although no one lives there, the maids would occasionally clean it.

Therefore, it is not considered dirty or messy.

With just a little cleaning and setting up your belongings, you can move in immediately.

Are they all empty...?

Ning Rongrong looked at the room in front of her and made her choice without any hesitation.

"Teacher, which room do I want to stay in?"

She pointed with her slender white fingers to the room next to Jiang Ci's left.

Yu Guang glanced somewhat awkwardly at Jiang Ci's face.

However, Jiang Ci did not notice anything unusual about her.

He simply nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll have someone tidy up that house later."

"Come on, I'll show you around the mansion so you can get acquainted with it."

Since Ning Rongrong was going to stay in the mansion for a long time, she naturally had to let the people of the General's Mansion get to know her as their disciple.

To avoid any troublesome things happening later.

after all……

His men are all good in every way, except they are too obedient.

They are obedient to the point of being somewhat rigid.

"Mmm!" Ning Rongrong nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

He followed Jiang Ci around the mansion like a little follower.

After briefly familiarizing themselves with the general's mansion, the two returned to the main courtyard.

Jiang Ci led Ning Rongrong to his cultivation room.

Now that he has taken Ning Rongrong as his student, he naturally needs to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher.

"Rongrong, tell me your current soul power level."

Ning Rongrong proudly raised her little face: "Teacher, I'm already in level 26."

After she finished speaking, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

I hope to gain recognition from Jiang Ci.

Ning Rongrong is quite confident in her talent.

She is a genius that the sect elders and her father acknowledge as having the potential to break the curse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a talent that appears only once in a century!

however……

The praise I had imagined did not come.

Jiang Ci frowned and sighed:

"Too low."

Ning Rongrong was somewhat unconvinced: "Teacher, isn't this quite low?"

"Furthermore, support-type martial souls are inherently more difficult to cultivate than normal martial souls!"

"Do you know what level of cultivation I had at your age?" Jiang Ci asked.

Ning Rongrong choked.

Of course she knew.

The story of the young general's rise to power is no secret in the entire Heavenly Dou Empire.

Anyone with access to information has heard about his legendary rise to fame.

At the age of twelve, Jiang Ci was already a four-ring Soul Master, and the following year he successfully became a Soul King.

In contrast.

At the same age of twelve, the difference in their levels seems to have reached nearly double.

Because it becomes increasingly difficult for Soul Masters to advance their cultivation levels, the gap between them is even greater than twice as large.

The pride on Ning Rongrong's face vanished.

However, she still felt that she had done quite well.

She pouted her pink lips.

"Teacher, are you an exception?"

Ning Rongrong said in a slightly sticky voice.

It has to be said that the little witch is quite skilled at acting cute.

She felt that Jiang Ci's extraordinary talent could not negate her own excellence.

"You can't find another teacher like him in the entire Heaven Dou Empire, or even the entire Soul Master world, can you?"

"Don't give me that." Jiang Ci said expressionlessly, flicking Ning Rongrong's fair forehead lightly.

"Ouch!"

This caused the little girl to let out a painful cry.

"I didn't ask you to compare yourself to me. I just wanted you to know that your current cultivation level is only outstanding among your peers, but not particularly dazzling."

"Even putting aside my past, there are many people in the Soul Master world who were at the same age as you and had higher cultivation levels than you."

"Your talent is definitely not limited to this; you have simply neglected your cultivation in your daily life."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong stuck out her pink tongue, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

It really is.

She usually found cultivation to be tedious and boring, and actually didn't spend much time on it.

My current cultivation level is entirely due to the support of the sect's resources and the guarantee of my own talent.

"But what's the use of cultivating so quickly?"

Ning Rongrong tried softly to justify her previous slackness.

"Although my father and the elders of the sect all say that I have a chance to break the curse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there has never been such a case in the thousands of years of the sect's history."

"I know the chances are slim."

"Since we can only cultivate to the seventh-ring Soul Saint level anyway, it doesn't really matter whether we arrive a little earlier or a little later..."

This isn't entirely an excuse.

That's actually part of the reason.

With the upper limit almost fixed, it's inevitable to lose motivation.

Ning Rongrong sometimes wondered if there really was such a thing as the Way of Heaven in this world.

While granting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda unparalleled amplification capabilities for support characters, it also fixed its upper limit.

However, Jiang Ci's next words caused Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes to widen suddenly.

"But what if..."

"Perhaps I have a way to overcome the limitations imposed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Jiang Ci knew perfectly well how to overcome the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

It's nothing more than the beautiful tulip in the realm of ice and fire.

Jiang Ci had some connection with Dugu Bo and had done him a favor, so obtaining some immortal herbs wouldn't have been difficult for him.

He had once consumed a magical herb called Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, which further enhanced the Divine Oracle Sword.

"Teacher, really?"

If anyone else had said this, Ning Rongrong would have naturally dismissed it with disdain.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has exhausted all its resources for so many years without finding a solution. Do you really think there's a solution just because you say there is?

But the one who said those words was her teacher, Jiang Ci.

Ning Rongrong didn't think Jiang Ci was the type to make outrageous statements.

perhaps……

The teacher really has something to rely on!

"You don't need to rush that."

"When you reach level 30, if your performance satisfies me, I will give you a satisfying gift."

Jiang Ci had no intention of getting the Qiluo Tulip for Ning Rongrong right now.

Instead, a time was agreed upon.

This can be considered a period of evaluation for Ning Rongrong.

If Ning Rongrong's final outcome satisfies him, he will naturally obtain the Qiluo Tulip from Dugu Bo to break the curse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for her.

If not...

He would only provide Ning Rongrong with the most basic instruction according to the agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and wouldn't bother with anything else.
