Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 37 Ning Fengzhi's Plea for Help

Shi Quan's wooden house is small, containing only a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf, with simple and unpretentious decorations.

The three of them sat down casually.

After taking his seat, Ning Fengzhi said directly, "Xiao Quan, the reason I've come to visit today is actually because I have a request."

Shi Quan's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said, "Uncle Ning, please speak freely. Whatever it is, I will do my best to help."

"I feel much more at ease with your words." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, then continued, "Xiao Quan, I've heard of your Blue Silver Grass theory. The transformation of a martial soul after birth, enhancing one's own talent—this action is truly unique in the world. I'd like to know if your Blue Silver Grass theory can be applied to other martial souls?"

"As expected." Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Shi Quan understood Ning Fengzhi's purpose and said, "Uncle Ning, my theory on Blue Silver Grass currently only applies to my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. I'm not sure if it applies to other Martial Souls, because each Martial Soul has its own characteristics. The characteristics of Blue Silver Grass are almost unique. However, one thing is certain: whether it's a Martial Soul or one's own talent, besides innate awakening, one can also make up for innate deficiencies through hard work. It's just that the methods for making up for deficiencies need to be discovered through our own efforts."

Hearing Shi Quan's first words, Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed considerably, but after hearing Shi Quan's second words, the light in Ning Fengzhi's eyes brightened again, and his gaze toward Shi Quan showed more approval.

"Xiao Quan, you're right. I also believe that innate deficiencies can be overcome through hard work!" Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement and asked, "Xiao Quan, how much do you know about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Shi Quan shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle Ning, isn't that your martial soul? I only know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support martial soul in the world, possessing support abilities far exceeding those of other martial souls of the same level."

Ning Fengzhi did not feel proud after hearing Shi Quan's praise. Instead, he sighed and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed the number one auxiliary martial soul in the world, but heaven is fair. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has the most powerful auxiliary ability, it has also paid a huge price."

"So what if you can't advance to an eight-ring Soul Douluo? What's with the act?" Shi Quan thought to himself, looking at Ning Fengzhi's hesitant expression, but he still had to feign confusion as he looked at Ning Fengzhi. "The price?"

"I will never be able to advance to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo in my lifetime." Ning Fengzhi looked even more worried when he said this.

"Unable to break through the eighth ring? How could this be?" Shi Quan looked at Ning Fengzhi in surprise.

"Xiao Quan, do you know why the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda can only be called Seven Treasures?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and then summoned his martial soul. A glass pagoda radiating seven-colored light appeared in Ning Fengzhi's hand, and seven soul rings, yellow, purple, black and black, quietly emerged beneath him.

"Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only has seven floors, and each floor can only support one spirit ring, absorbing seven spirit rings is the limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Looking at the dazzling Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda before him, Shi Quan thought, putting everything else aside, this martial spirit was indeed beautiful.

"Uncle Ning, do you mean you want me to help you find a way to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul evolve and transform, so that it can absorb more soul rings?"

Ning Fengzhi slowly retracted his right hand, nodded and said, "That's right. In fact, it is mentioned in the ancient records of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve. Above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, there are also the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But unfortunately, the ancient records do not specifically mention the method of martial soul evolution. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been researching and searching for a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but with little success."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his gaze toward Shi Quan held a hint of expectation.

In their quest to find the method to evolve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has gone to great lengths, but as Ning Fengzhi said, the results have been minimal. They haven't even been able to evolve the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, let alone the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will seize any opportunity it has, even if the person in front of them is just a ten-year-old boy. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, he still puts down his status and makes a special trip to visit this genius young boy, hoping to seek a glimmer of hope from him.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Shi Quan with a sincere expression and said, "Xiao Quan, your ability to research the evolution method of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has given me hope, so I would like to ask you to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School research the evolution method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"The Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Shi Quan murmured softly, then said, "Uncle Ning, don't worry, I already know about this. I will do my best to help you research the evolution method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, as you know, my main research direction right now is plant-type martial souls and limit spirit rings. I don't know much about gem-type martial souls, so I'll have to trouble you to collect more information about gem-type martial souls for me. If possible, please also give me a copy of the research data on the evolution method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul from past generations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This will also make it easier for me to study."

Whether or not a solution can be found is one thing, but at least the words should be spoken in a pleasant and sincere manner.

Seeing that Shi Quan agreed, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Xiao Quan, then I'll trouble you. I'll prepare what you need. It's really too much trouble to ask you for help on our first meeting. Please keep this."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took off a silver-white bracelet from his hand and handed it to Shi Quan. The bracelet was inlaid with several snow-white gemstones, and was entirely silver with white patterns, making it look very exquisite.

Shi Quan quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Uncle Ning, you're too kind. I don't need this gift, since I haven't been of much help to you yet."

Ning Fengzhi's expression hardened, and he said solemnly, "Xiao Quan, you're being too polite. You've already called me Uncle Ning, so how can I, as an elder, not give you a small gift? It's nothing special, just take it. If you can help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School research the evolution method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future, then you will be the benefactor of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. At that time, I will prepare a bigger gift for you."

"Then thank you, Uncle Ning." Shi Quan didn't refuse any longer and took the bracelet from Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi explained, "Xiao Quan, this bracelet is called the Snow Jade Bracelet. It's a soul tool. Each gem on it provides ten square meters of storage space. You can put items in and take them out by injecting your soul power."

Looking at the five snow-white gemstones on the bracelet, Shi Quan thought to himself, "Ning Fengzhi is really generous."

Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon has twenty-four jade stones, each with a storage space of one cubic meter, and can only store a total of twenty-four cubic meters of items. Such a soul tool is already considered a top-tier soul tool.

The snow jade bracelets given by Ning Fengzhi each provide ten cubic meters of storage space; five bracelets would provide fifty cubic meters.

It's not just about the size of the storage space.

A bracelet, a belt, and the size of the soul tools themselves also differed significantly.

This Snow Jade Bracelet is definitely the most top-tier soul tool right now, and its value is probably worth over a million gold soul coins. Such a thing is given as a gift when you meet someone, and it's even considered not a very good thing.

Versailles main event.

Although the snow jade bracelet was of little use to Shi Quan, it could at least serve as a cover for the treasure bag. Now he could use the treasure bag to carry things at will without fear of arousing suspicion.

Shi Quan looked delighted and excitedly said, "I'm afraid only you, Uncle Ning, would dare to say that something so good isn't good."

"Haha." Ning Fengzhi laughed and said, "I'm glad you like it, Xiao Quan. We don't have anything else. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rich, but things that can be bought with money are just so-so. Truly precious things cannot be measured by money."

"Uncle Ning, you're right," Shi Quan replied with a smile, inwardly giving Ning Fengzhi a thumbs up.

Rich and willful.

This is also a unique talent of gem-type martial souls, namely treasure appraisal. For a level 79 gem-type martial soul owner like Ning Fengzhi, his treasure appraisal skills can now be considered the best in the world. Even if he cannot recognize the specific origin of an item, he can roughly assess and identify its value and extraordinary nature.

However, this first place was only temporary. Later, after Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong's ability to appraise treasures surpassed Ning Fengzhi's.

After finishing their business, the three chatted for a long time until after lunch, when Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe finally left.

That afternoon, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School people came again, bringing a whole cart full of books about gemstone-type martial souls.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been researching the evolution method of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul for many years. Their information on gemstone-type Martial Souls is definitely the most complete on the continent. However, when it comes to comprehensive Martial Soul theories, the Spirit Hall is the most complete.

If it weren't for the Snow Jade Bracelet, Shi Quan really wouldn't know how to deal with so many books. Now he can simply store all the books in the Snow Jade Bracelet.

If we're talking about the evolution method of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the simplest one is the Immortal Herb Qiluo Tulip.

However, immortal herbs are almost unique, and for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they are only a temporary solution.

The original text describes the Qiluo tulip as being able to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon.

If we analyze it this way, the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon, are extremely compatible with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. If, through special means, one can condense the essence of heaven and earth and absorb the radiance of the sun and moon, transforming these two into special energy to nourish the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda may undergo a transformation and advancement...
