Chapter 102: Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda
Giving the Delicate Fragrant Tulip to Ning Rongrong was certain, but how to give it was the real question.
Should he claim he just stumbled upon it by luck again? That level of luck would be outrageous.
But even if he didn't "find" it himself, someone else could have discovered it, intending to sell it. Then, by coincidence, he could have bought it from them.
Two months later.
When Ning Rongrong saw the Delicate Fragrant Tulip that Su Mo presented, she was completely stunned once more.
At this moment, she truly believed Su Mo's previous words—his luck was genuinely unparalleled.
"Is… is this the treasure our sect has been searching for all these years?"
She stared at the flower in disbelief, her voice trembling.
"It should be. Rongrong, your martial spirit can sense precious and extraordinary treasures. This herb counts as one of the world's rarest treasures—you should be able to sense its value."
Su Mo smiled as he watched Ning Rongrong's dazed expression.
"...Yes, I can feel its incredible value. But I'm not sure if it can actually help me evolve my martial spirit…" Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly, still uncertain.
"Well, there's only one way to find out—absorb it! Then you'll know."
Su Mo handed the Delicate Fragrant Tulip to Ning Rongrong without hesitation.
"...Okay!"
Overwhelmed by the surprise, Ning Rongrong no longer doubted Su Mo's words. Carefully, she took the Delicate Fragrant Tulip in her hands.
"So… so I really just absorb it?"
Ning Rongrong still found it hard to believe. The treasure that her sect had pursued for generations was now right before her eyes.
"Of course. This herb won't last forever. Absorb it quickly, Rongrong."
Su Mo's intentions were clear—he had taken it out specifically for her to use.
"Alright!"
This time, Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate any longer. Fixing her gaze on the Delicate Fragrant Tulip, she began the process of absorption.
Watching Ning Rongrong enter the absorption state, Su Mo remained calm and composed, showing no trace of worry.
After all, he knew very well that this was the immortal herb Ning Rongrong needed to evolve her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
"You're really good to that little girl."
Bibi Dong's voice echoed as she appeared beside Su Mo, her gaze fixed on Ning Rongrong as she absorbed the herb. A hint of envy flickered in her eyes.
She could tell that Su Mo genuinely cared for Ning Rongrong.
It was a pity, though. She hadn't been fortunate enough to meet someone like Su Mo back then.
Su Mo didn't respond to Bibi Dong. He simply continued to watch Ning Rongrong quietly as she absorbed the herb.
Once Ning Rongrong finished, she would undoubtedly return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to share the good news with Ning Fengzhi and the others.
Afterward, she and Su Mo could apply to join the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team.
The next Continental Soul Master Tournament was now less than a year away.
Half an hour later, Ning Rongrong finally awoke from her meditative state.
"Seven Treasures turn to Glazed Splendor!"
"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"
The moment Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, she summoned her martial spirit without hesitation.
Buzz—
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, radiating a dazzling blue-glass light, floated above Ning Rongrong's palm. As it appeared, both she and Su Mo immediately focused on counting the tower's layers.
"One, two, three… seven, eight, nine!"
"Nine layers! It really evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"
"Su Mo, thank you so much…"
Seeing her martial spirit evolve, Ning Rongrong was overwhelmed with emotion. She threw herself into Su Mo's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck before kissing him impulsively.
Su Mo, naturally, responded in kind until Ning Rongrong's excitement gradually calmed down.
"And my soul power… it broke through to level 30!"
After calming down, Ning Rongrong excitedly shared her breakthrough with Su Mo, telling him she had advanced from level 29 to level 30.
"Is that so? Even better!"
Su Mo smiled faintly.
Only he knew that Ning Rongrong's breakthrough wasn't as simple as just one level. The rest of her increase was temporarily hidden because she hadn't absorbed her third soul ring yet. Su Mo recalled that after absorbing the Delicate Fragrant Tulip, Ning Rongrong's level jumped by six or seven levels in total.
Once she obtained her third soul ring, her level would surpass his again.
At the moment, Su Mo's soul power was only at level 33.
Yes, in the two months since returning from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Mo had leveled up twice—or more accurately, by one and a half levels, as he had been close to level 32 before.
This was already a very fast pace!
Besides his evolved cultivation talent, it was also due to Su Mo's own hard work. While diligently meditating, he hadn't neglected his self-created new training technique.
He had considered teaching this method to Ning Rongrong but ultimately decided against it.
The technique was quite strenuous, and given Ning Rongrong's current physical strength, it wouldn't offer much of a speed boost. Meditation alone was sufficient for her.
"Su Mo, let's return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect together tomorrow!"
As expected, Ning Rongrong proposed heading back to her sect the next day.
Once they arrived, the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was in an uproar when Ning Fengzhi and the others saw that Ning Rongrong's martial spirit had truly evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
"Su Mo, on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, I thank you for bringing back this treasure. It has allowed the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda to reappear within our sect!"
Ning Fengzhi personally expressed his gratitude to Su Mo on behalf of the sect.
Upon learning that Ning Rongrong had reached level 30, Sword Douluo immediately took action. He accompanied her to hunt down a suitable soul beast, and in just half a day, they returned with her third soul ring.
"Father, Su Mo, Grandpa Bone!"
"I'm now a level 35 Soul Elder!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't contain her excitement as she showed off her new soul power level.
"What? That's impossible!"
"Sword Uncle, is this true?"
"What happened?"
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were utterly shocked, and even Su Mo cooperated by wearing a look of disbelief.
"After Rongrong absorbed her soul ring, her soul power directly advanced to level 35—it has nothing to do with the ring itself!"
"I believe this was the result of Rongrong's martial spirit evolution. Previously, the breakthrough had been incomplete since she hadn't absorbed a soul ring. Now that she has, all of the levels have manifested at once!"
Sword Douluo explained calmly. Though it was merely his guess, he was confident there could be no other explanation.
After all, the soul ring they had hunted was just an ordinary 1,700-year-old soul ring.
Unlike Su Mo, Ning Rongrong hadn't pushed herself to absorb a soul ring beyond her limits. Even with the effects of the immortal herb, her physique hadn't been strengthened enough to endure that level of strain. She simply followed the standard process for absorption.
"I see now!"
"I never imagined that after the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the soul power increase would be this dramatic!"
Ning Fengzhi finally understood, his face full of amazement and pride.
With Ning Rongrong's soul ring absorbed, she and Su Mo soon left the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
It was time for them to officially join the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team.
"Rongrong really has good taste!"
After Su Mo and Ning Rongrong departed, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but praise his daughter to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Who can deny that? She picked that Su Mo kid!"
Bone Douluo laughed in agreement.
"Su Mo is destined for greatness. His talent alone sets him apart, but his extraordinary luck is what's truly remarkable. Rongrong's martial spirit was able to evolve solely because of him."
Sword Douluo spoke matter-of-factly, then burst into laughter. "But Rongrong's eye for people is indeed sharp!"
