"Cultivation is just like this, there's nothing strange about it."
Mo Hui replied indifferently, not taking it to heart.
Aside from a very small number of methods for improvement, such as immortal herbs or divine trials, the vast majority of people need to accumulate Soul Power little by little like this. Therefore, Mo Hui didn't feel anything was wrong, at least on the Douluo Continent.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and said, "Boring. I really don't understand why you work so hard to improve your Soul Power."
Cultivating diligently before leveling up, and still cultivating diligently after leveling up. Isn't leveling up in vain then?
Mo Hui replied, "There are many reasons, but the most important one is for my own safety."
"For your own safety?"
Ning Rongrong asked somewhat confusedly.
"Yes."
Mo Hui nodded, then said, "I have a premonition that the Douluo Continent will fall into turmoil soon. Therefore, to prevent any accidents from happening to me, I must reach a level of strength sufficient to protect myself before then. You should also work harder, lest you regret it when something really happens."
"Truly worrying about nothing."
Hearing this reason, Ning Rongrong was a little speechless. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the Upper Three Sects, second only to the Haotian Sect, with the Sword and Bone Peak Douluo presiding over it, as well as her father, the number one auxiliary Soul Master in the world. What could possibly happen?
After a moment of silence, Ning Rongrong suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard of Shrek Academy?"
"I have," Mo Hui replied.
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly pressed on, "What do you think of this academy?"
"An irregular academy with decent teaching staff, but severely lacking in resources and having bizarre enrollment requirements."
Mo Hui evaluated without hesitation.
Immediately, Mo Hui glanced at Ning Rongrong and said, "Unless the situation is special, I do not recommend anyone to go to this academy. Those who truly need it cannot get in, and those who can get in probably don't need it."
After Mo Hui finished speaking, Ning Rongrong's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
After a while, Ning Rongrong was just about to talk to Mo Hui, but found that Mo Hui had already entered meditation again.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. Feeling the cold wind blowing around her, Ning Rongrong had no choice but to leave the place dejectedly.
Several more days passed, and the academy teachers' injuries had basically healed. It was time for Mo Hui to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Sect Master Ning, thank you for your care these past few days. This junior's strength is low, and I don't have anything precious, so I can only give you this."
Before leaving, Mo Hui came to Ning Fengzhi's study, took out a jade box from his Soul Tool, and pushed it in front of Ning Fengzhi.
With the black card from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Mo Hui had also acquired a Soul Tool that could hold living things. Now he no longer needed to tie the immortal herbs directly to his body.
Ning Fengzhi opened the box Mo Hui had given him and found a strangely shaped flower inside. Its roots, stems, and leaves were like a vine curtain, but at the top was a golden tulip.
Without needing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's treasure appraisal ability, Ning Fengzhi could judge that this item was extremely precious, because the Qi Luo Tulip plant not only emitted a faint light, but when he opened the jade box, a rich fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
"Mo Hui, this is…"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Mo Hui and asked with some curiosity.
Mo Hui explained, "This item is called the Qi Luo Tulip. It is an extremely precious medicinal herb I obtained by chance, and it can even be said to be the only one in the world. As far as I know, its effect is that after consuming it, it can greatly increase Soul Power and nourish the martial soul, with a chance of causing the martial soul to undergo a positive change to a certain extent."
"Can nourish the martial soul and has a chance to cause the martial soul to undergo a positive change to a certain extent? Mo Hui, are your words true?"
After hearing what Mo Hui said, Ning Fengzhi could no longer contain himself and stood up excitedly, staring at Mo Hui with piercing eyes, and asked.
Mo Hui nodded and said, "As far as I know, it is like this, but I am not entirely sure of the correct way to consume this item. However, I think with the ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you should be able to find out how to properly use this Qi Luo Tulip."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was willing to dispatch their Sect Master and Sword Douluo for him. Although Mo Hui was not ultimately rescued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this favor was still owed.
Coupled with the various investments from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Mo Hui didn't know what else he could use to repay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School besides the Qi Luo Tulip.
However, to prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from going crazy and doing something foolish because of this, Mo Hui also left a backup plan. He hid the seeds of the Qi Luo Tulip. If the other party still wanted to stably produce Soul Masters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then they could not touch him.
After all, with Mo Hui's current speed, no one on the Douluo Continent could catch him if he wanted to run. If they were to antagonize Mo Hui because of this, Mo Hui could simply find a place to hide. In that case, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not only fail to get the seeds, but would also face Mo Hui's future revenge.
However, this was just the worst-case scenario. If things really developed that way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be too foolish. Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd businessman and would not do such a foolish thing, especially since their relationship was quite good at the moment.
"Phew~ I will send people to search for information about this Qi Luo Tulip. If the effect is true, Mo Hui, you will have helped us greatly!"
After listening to Mo Hui, Ning Fengzhi calmed down and then said to Mo Hui with some gratitude.
Although their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had extremely powerful auxiliary abilities, the inability to break through the Soul Douluo realm had always been their biggest worry. If this Qi Luo Tulip could really cause the martial soul to undergo a positive change, even if it only allowed them to attach one more eighth Soul Ring, Mo Hui would be the greatest benefactor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Sect Master Ning, you are too kind. You were willing to risk offending the Poison Douluo to save me. I will always remember this kindness. If this Qi Luo Tulip is truly useful, then that would be the best."
Mo Hui smiled slightly, then bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and walked out of his study.
After Mo Hui left, a withered old man tore through the void and appeared behind Ning Fengzhi.
This withered old man was the other Peak Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Gu Rong walked to Ning Fengzhi's side, looking at the Qi Luo Tulip in the jade box in front of Ning Fengzhi with a suspicious expression, and said, "Is the effect of this thing really as exaggerated as that kid said? Could that kid be mistaken?"
"Whether he is mistaken or not, we will know if we try it ourselves. If this thing is real, then our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have another possibility of evolving our martial soul into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Fengzhi looked at the jade box in his hand and replied to Gu Rong with a smile.
Immediately after, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Furthermore, even if it doesn't have the effect of evolving the martial soul, this Qi Luo Tulip is definitely a pretty good treasure. That kid is thoughtful."
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo Gu Rong also nodded. This was true. Just from the appearance, he could tell that this tulip was extraordinary.
Meanwhile, Mo Hui and the others had already begun their journey to Shenfeng Academy under the escort of Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
