Chapter 155 Xiao Yan's Conditions
"Uncle Ning, I'm very sorry to tell you, but I'm absolutely certain that this method of breaking through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can only be practiced on one person at present." Xiao Yan nodded and solemnly told Ning Fengzhi his answer.
The middle-aged man, who always took great care of his appearance, was silent at this moment. He had his head down, clearly struggling with the decision he was about to make.
The opportunity to break through to the Contra Master level might be right in front of him, but his daughter is also—
Although Ning Rongrong's consumption of the Qiluo Tulip caused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to open into nine towers, it's possible that it was because of her own good talent. After all, she was a little princess with innate soul power level 9, plus the various forms of training from the sect that was never short of money.
From the perspective of the sect's future, this opportunity is obviously best given to Ning Rongrong. Moreover, with such a remarkable example before her, Xiao Yan is absolutely confident that Ning Rongrong will once again climb to the ninth level with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hands.
Ning Fengzhi was so conflicted because this opportunity was too precious, but Xiao Yan respected him and was willing to give him time to think. Even if Ning Fengzhi's aptitude was not as good as Ning Rongrong's, Xiao Yan felt that after taking the tulip, even if he broke through to the eighth tower, it would be enough for him to have an explanation for today. After all, the nightmare of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's soul masters had always been locked at the seventh ring, one ring, one tower.
"No rush, Uncle Ning. Of course, as I said, every experiment carries risks. I can guarantee there will be an improvement, but as for how much improvement, that depends on the individual. You don't need to rush to give me an answer. Besides, you said that this embryo was given to me as a favor from last time, so the opportunity I'm giving you this time also comes with conditions."
As Xiao Yan spoke, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, not at all like a conversation between a junior and an elder. He looked at Ning Fengzhi as if he were a peer or a superior.
Just as Ning Fengzhi knew that Xiao Yan definitely wanted the Snow Wolf Beast embryo, Xiao Yan also knew that Ning Fengzhi was determined to obtain the breakthrough of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"It's alright, Nephew Xiao. Just ask. Do you need money, treasures, or the position of the future sect leader of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? However, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a rule that the sect leader must be a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master. So if that's the case, we can only ask you to be the deputy sect leader."
"Dad!" Ning Rongrong was still in shock at Xiao Yan's sudden statement, but upon hearing his words, she blushed and lowered her head.
But he still shouted Ning Fengzhi at the top of his lungs.
Ning Fengzhi's meaning was self-evident: he was even willing to exchange Ning Rongrong for Xiao Yan's hand in marriage.
"Uncle Ning, if you really take a liking to your Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't it be better to take it over as my subordinate sect?" Xiao Yan joked.
These words immediately made Ning Rongrong, who was still in a shy state just a second ago, somewhat angry.
She looked at Xiao Yan, about to say that she didn't want the deal anymore, but Ning Fengzhi stepped in front of her and said with a smile, "As long as Nephew Xiao wants it, it is fine."
Ning Fengzhi tried his best to keep his tone calm and composed, but he was clearly a little angry. This kind of person who regarded the sect as his everything was now being asked to make their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a subordinate sect. So he tried to speak as little as possible to avoid losing his temper.
At the same time, he kept thinking to himself: "Could it be that Xiao Yan is really the young sect leader of some unparalleled sect? Now that he has finally decided to enter the world, is his first move to take their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a subordinate sect?"
The subordinate sects of those top sects in Douluo Continent are actually doing quite well; just look at the Haotian Sect, which has gone into seclusion.
The saying goes, "If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, everyone suffers." This is why Ning Fengzhi was able to patiently listen to Xiao Yan continue. Moreover, if Xiao Yan truly wanted to take over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he wouldn't have mentioned it so often.
Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, it seems that this young man named Xiao Yan has been intentionally or unintentionally leading him along.
What he was more curious about was what else their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had that could catch Xiao Yan's eye.
"I only have two conditions, one primary and one secondary. If Uncle Ning agrees, then once you have chosen your candidate, come find me. I also need some time to prepare." Xiao Yan said, giving a thumbs up.
Ning Fengzhi didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.
"I haven't decided on the main conditions yet, but I certainly won't make things difficult for Uncle Ning or your sect. What I need is a promise that, given time, if I need to borrow something from your sect, your sect cannot refuse. It could be sect funds, treasures, or even a member of your sect—"
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Is that all?"
What Xiao Yan proposed was not as grand as something like becoming the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If he were to take the position of sect leader, although he would have to manage relationships with everyone and consider the overall situation, in essence, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would belong to him.
But now, all the boy wants is a verbal promise.
"Alright, Nephew Xiao, what's the additional condition?" Ning Fengzhi quickly agreed, seemingly afraid that the other party would change his mind and make some other demands.
"As for the additional conditions, hehe, I'm going to the Starfall Empire in a while, but I'm not very familiar with the local customs and culture. I hope Uncle Ning can bring me any books or miscellaneous writings that he can currently access in the near future."
"That's it?" Ning Fengzhi was somewhat incredulous, and even asked again to confirm.
Normally, he would have agreed immediately to avoid any changes in the other party's mind.
"That's all, I'm satisfied." Xiao Yan smiled and bowed respectfully to Ning Fengzhi. "Young Xiao Yan, I still need to thank Uncle Ning for buying this precious embryo for me."
After saying that, the boy walked out of VIP room number nine alone, leaving the father and daughter inside.
Both were taken aback by the boy's request, or rather, by the low price he offered.
It seems as if their initial words were deliberate, as if they were there just to see them put on a brave face.
Late at night, after confirming that no one was around, Xiao Yan finally took out the snow wolf beast embryo from the treasure pouch given to him by Dugu Bo with satisfaction. Fortunately, the treasure pouch was only about the size of a palm, which was just enough to fit the glass jar inside.
The rolling ball beast lay on the stool, also looking curiously at what was in front of Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, at the auction during the day, was it the Tyrannosaurus Rex that reacted to this embryo?" He was a little unsure, but now that there were no outsiders around, he could finally ask his question.
Xiao Yan nodded: "Moreover, the reaction of the Agar.io was exceptionally strong, especially after I got it." As he spoke, Xiao Yan took the still-vibrating Digivice off his waist.
Looking at the flickering patterns on the screen, Xiao Yan had some doubts, but he still decided to give it a try based on his intuition.
During the day, after he received the embryo from Ning Fengzhi, a sudden inspiration struck him.
Although he wasn't sure if he would succeed, he wanted to give it a try.
Xiao Yan followed the throbbing in his heart, raised the grimacing Tyrannosaurus Rex in his hand, and aimed it at the Snow Wolf Beast embryo floating in the nutrient solution.
The moment the two objects came into contact, a great light shone.
