Chapter 74: High Emotional Intelligence, Let’s Be Friends

"Hehe, Sect Master Ning makes a valid point."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's response, Yunxiao chuckled softly.

Some words were best taken with a grain of salt.

Ning Fengzhi had led the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to become one of the Upper Three Sects.

This alone was enough to prove that he was no ordinary figure.

And this further solidified Yunxiao's belief that Ning Fengzhi's visit was motivated by a request for his assistance.

As the two continued their casual conversation, Yunxiao silently pondered.

To win over him, the Elf Crown, and to address the flaw in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, what price would Ning Fengzhi—or rather, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—be willing to pay?

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi set down his teacup and retrieved two items from his Ring Storage Soul Tool.

One large and one small, both exquisitely crafted wooden boxes.

"Elf Crown, as this is our first meeting, please accept these humble gifts."

After opening both boxes, Ning Fengzhi pushed them toward Yunxiao.

Yunxiao glanced at the contents.

One was a 30,000-year-old leg Soul Bone.

The other was an intricately designed token, adorned with the ornate pattern of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Yunxiao: "..."

"Well, well, well! If I'm not mistaken, isn't this token the Supreme Elder Token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? What is Ning Fengzhi playing at?"

Seeing this, Yunxiao was thoroughly confused.

Why would Ning Fengzhi gift him the Supreme Elder Token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Was he being this direct? Inviting him to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School right off the bat?

"Sect Master Ning, these gifts... what exactly do they signify?"

Yunxiao could understand the 30,000-year-old Soul Bone as a gesture to win him over or address the Martial Soul's flaw.

But the Supreme Elder Token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? That was far more intriguing.

Facing Yunxiao's question, Ning Fengzhi spoke calmly.

"Elf Crown, to be frank, this token is the Honorary Supreme Elder Token of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With it, all your expenses at any of our affiliated businesses will be waived. As for the 30,000-year-old leg Soul Bone, it's merely a small token of our goodwill."

As the leader of his sect, Ning Fengzhi perfectly demonstrated the eloquence of a seasoned merchant.

His mastery of language and depth of culture were evident.

What was essentially a gift to address the flaw in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul was skillfully framed as a gesture of friendship.

For Yunxiao, this unique and "good neighbor," Ning Fengzhi naturally sought to bring him into the fold of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When it came to making friends, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had its own distinct "methods."

Or rather, sincerity.

As the wealthiest sect on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was never short on Gold Soul Coins.

They were not afraid of Yunxiao, the Elf Crown, spending too many Gold Soul Coins.

What they feared was that Yunxiao would refuse to accept the honorary elder token.

As long as Yunxiao used this token,

his spending in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's affiliated businesses would increase.

Ning Fengzhi expressed,

"Isn't this how friendship between both parties begins?"

And as their friendship deepened,

didn't this mean they had the opportunity

to win over Yunxiao, the Elf Crown, to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Once Yunxiao removed the word "honorary" and became their school's elder,

wouldn't they then have a way to resolve the defect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?

As the saying goes,

"One fears their brother suffers, yet also fears their brother drives a luxury car."

Although their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a long-standing cooperative relationship with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family,

and even though Ning Fengzhi was the teacher of the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe,

this did not hinder Ning Fengzhi from trying to win over Yunxiao, the Elf Crown.

Even if they ultimately failed to win Yunxiao over,

stepping back and choosing to make friends

was still a wise decision.

As a friend, I have already gifted you a 30,000-year-old Soul Bone.

So, I ask my good friend, the Elf Crown,

if you could help resolve the defect of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

Don't you agree, my friend?

"Elf Crown, it is said that you have profound knowledge in the study of Martial Souls."

"To be honest, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul..."

Then, Ning Fengzhi very tactfully

slowly revealed his intentions.

"Oh, you want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"

Out of curiosity, Yunxiao asked some questions.

For example, since your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

once had the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, why is it now just a fleeting phenomenon?

Was it because your school's ancestor experienced a Martial Soul mutation, leading to the evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?

Or was it due to some unexpected opportunity?

Regarding Yunxiao's inquiries, Ning Fengzhi naturally had no intention of hiding anything.

"Elf Crown, regarding your question,

our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's records have relevant information.

Our school's ancestor once accidentally consumed some herbs, which caused the Martial Soul to transform into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Since Ning Fengzhi chose to seek a solution to the Martial Soul defect from Yunxiao,

he naturally had to fully disclose all the information related to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

"Oh, it was after accidentally consuming some herbs that the Martial Soul transformed into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's answer, Yunxiao secretly speculated in his heart.

"Could one of those herbs have been the Immortal Herb, Qiluo Yujinxiang?"

"If nothing unexpected happened, it should be almost certain."

Thinking of the Elf Clan inheritance left to him by the system, Yunxiao was now certain.

That lucky individual from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had accidentally consumed the Immortal Herb, Qiluo Yujinxiang.

After pondering for a moment, Yunxiao shared these thoughts.

"The Immortal Herb, Qiluo Yujinxiang?"

"Elf Crown, may I ask what the Immortal Herb, Qiluo Yujinxiang looks like?"

Having obtained the answer he desired, Ning Fengzhi became slightly more eager.

Since Elf Crown had mentioned the Immortal Herb Qiluo Yujinxiang, it was sufficient proof that Yunxiao was familiar with it.

As long as he could obtain a portrait of the Immortal Herb Qiluo Yujinxiang, he would dispatch all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to search for it.

As long as they could obtain the Immortal Herb Qiluo Yujinxiang.

The flaw in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul would be immediately resolved.

At that time, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Would henceforth

be renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
