Chapter 48: Arrival of Ning Fengzhi

The movements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were not slow either. Just on the third day after Su Wen appeared in the Great Spirit Arena, he was informed by the staff here that someone wanted to meet him.

There were quite a few people who wanted to see Su Wen these days, after all, he has a Thousand Years Old second ring. However, the staff wouldn't assist with everyone's requests.

Now, Su Wen, after inquiring, also learned the identity of the person from the staff.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The reason for the delay of one day was not because the intelligence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was behind or they didn't pay enough attention to Su Wen.

Su Wen was extremely surprised because the person he was meeting this time was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.

The Sect Master personally came to meet him, showing sincerity.

"Su Wen, I am Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Nice to meet you, Sect Master Ning."

Looking at the eleven-year-old youth in front of him, Ning Fengzhi felt emotional. He waved his hand and said, "I am also the teacher of the current Crown Prince. I talked to him about you yesterday. Since you call him Big Brother Xue, you can call me Uncle Ning."

Upon hearing this, Su Wen felt quite emotional. Indeed, Ning Fengzhi was a figure capable of developing and expanding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Uncle Ning is quite good."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy and influential, being the richest sect in the entire Douluo Land. Su Wen naturally wouldn't refuse to build a closer relationship with its sect master.

"Hmm." Ning Fengzhi's expression was gentle, revealing a hint of a smile. He said, "In that case, I'll call you Xiaowen from now on."

He paused, not rushing to reveal the true purpose of this meeting, but instead inquired about Su Wen's current progress in cultivation at the academy.

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, leaving other matters aside, our collection of experiences in cultivating various Martial Spirits is the most comprehensive."

Ning Fengzhi could confidently vouch for this. The true lineage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters, were all in the auxiliary system, requiring protection from combat Spirit Masters. The sect's recruitment of various types of strong attacking, defensive, and controlling system Spirit Masters within the sect was extremely complex. When it came to the cultivation of these Spirit Masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's efforts were no less than those of other sects or families, indicating its profound heritage.

I'm afraid that throughout the entire Douluo Land, besides the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the most profound in researching Martial Spirit cultivation. In certain aspects, such as Martial Spirit evolution, the Spirit Hall may not even surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"With guidance from Teacher Xiao Zhan and Teacher Qin Ming, my cultivation in various aspects has been very smooth," Su Wen said. 

Ning Fengzhi didn't want to push too much during their first meeting and focused on gathering information about the details of the Thousand Years Old Second Ring.

"Xiaowen, I heard that your second Spirit Ring is a Thousand Years Old Spirit Ring. Can Uncle Ning have a look?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Su Wen nodded, very willing, and said, "Uncle Ning, you're too polite. It's just releasing a Spirit Ring." He summoned his Martial Spirit, and the splendid Heavenly Book floated in front of him. Two Spirit Rings, one yellow and one purple, rose from under his feet, gently pulsating around his body.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze fixed on the second Spirit Ring.

Purple!

However, he didn't show too much surprise. After observing the second ring, his focus shifted mainly to Su Wen's Martial Spirit itself.

Looking at the dazzling and uniquely patterned Book Martial Spirit emitting a special aura, his expression changed.

It seemed to impress him even more than witnessing the Thousand Years Old Second Ring itself.

"The development level of your Martial Spirit is very high, nearly perfect!"

In just two days, Ning Fengzhi had already checked Su Wen's records registered in the Spirit Hall.

Although the Spirit Hall kept many details about Su Wen's whereabouts and joining confidential, Su Wen didn't conceal too much about the registration information from awakening his Martial Spirit to each advancement.

If there are too many changes, there will be more suspicion, and people will notice the clues.

The results of Ning Fengzhi's investigation were very accurate. When Su Wen's Martial Spirit first awakened, it appeared as an ordinary Book Martial Spirit.

Even in appearance, it was quite ordinary.

However, just after obtaining the two Spirit Rings, Su Wen's Book Martial Spirit had already evolved into its current state.

"No wonder you're a Spirit Master of the Book Martial Spirit." When he marveled, there was genuine admiration and envy.

"You Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters truly broaden one's horizons with their development of Martial Spirits. The direction of development for Book Martial Spirits is almost the most diverse among all Martial Spirits on the continent."

This was a fact.

There were even Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters specializing in agility and attack.

Of course, those who could achieve success with a Book Martial Spirit were all outstanding, but each of these Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters had their unique characteristics. Su Wen was also like them in Ning Fengzhi's view.

"This is due to the characteristics of Martial Spirits. Book Martial Spirits are highly adaptable, making them easier to develop. However, the difficulty of development is also high, as Book Martial Spirits are inherently fragile," Ning Fengzhi explained to Su Wen in an elderly tone.

"Of course, when it comes to Martial Spirit development, the crucial factor is the Spirit Master themselves; the Spirit Master is the foundation."

"If a Spirit Master doesn't wish to follow the path of a battle-type Spirit Master, even if they train in that direction, it might backfire, and they won't achieve the desired results."

"Book Martial Spirits also influence the Spirit Master. Most Spirit Masters awakened with Book Martial Spirits are actually interested in learning, with less desire for combat."

"Only a few Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters, who have unique experiences and a special dedication to combat, find it easy to develop their Book Martial Spirits toward the path of a battle-type Spirit Master. In fact, they might achieve results even more efficiently, making the most of their efforts."

In the end, it all depends on the Spirit Masters themselves. The same Book Martial Spirit may suit different paths of development in the hands of different people.

"I see, thank you, Uncle Ning, for clarifying," Su Wen said, suddenly enlightened, expressing his gratitude to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile wryly at this moment. Su Wen was an interesting character. Even from the Crown Prince's perspective, he had learned quite a bit about Su Wen. He had heard about Su Wen's proficiency in theoretical aspects of cultivation. Although the Crown Prince didn't disclose specific achievements, he did mention that Su Wen had unique perspectives on cultivation theory.

Su Wen himself didn't expect that the Crown Prince would share his information with Ning Fengzhi in such detail.

"Xiaowen, would it be convenient for you to share the details of the absorption process of your second Spirit Ring?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

After some thought, Su Wen nodded and said, "Yes, it's like this."

In explaining to Ning Fengzhi, Su Wen chose to use more detailed and authentic language than he did when dealing with the three members of the Board of Education initially.

"Monkey wine, physical prowess..." Ning Fengzhi lowered his head, pondering Su Wen's words, feeling that something was still missing.

Suddenly, he looked up and asked Su Wen, "Xiaowen, if I recall correctly, your second Spirit Ring is of the Spiritual attribute, right?"

"That's right," Su Wen nodded.

He didn't know why Ning Fengzhi was asking this, but he sensed that his own story might need some improvisation to hide important details. But at the same time say enough to get more benefits out of these walking cultivation treasuries!
