58: Chapter 58 Opening the Golden Treasure Chest, Thousand Illusion Mask
The banquet at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was grand, which was enough to show how much Ning Fengzhi valued Su Ling.
However, behind this importance was also the fact that Su Ling had brought them enough benefits.
If Ning Fengzhi knew that apart from Ning Rongrong, he had other women, what would he think?
That night, Su Ling did not know how many cups of wine he had drunk, nor did he know how many people had toasted him; after all, there were many people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Fortunately, Su Ling had a good tolerance for alcohol, and in the end, he was able to enter his room to rest while still sober.
Sitting on the bed, Su Ling had been thinking about the golden treasure chest that was rarely opened in the System.
What could a golden treasure chest, which was even more precious than a red treasure chest, contain?
Letting out a long breath, Su Ling finally spoke: "System, open the golden treasure chest."
[Ding... Golden treasure chest opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining one use of the divine skill, Skill: Resurrection.]
[Divine Skill Resurrection: As long as the body is relatively complete and death occurred no more than one year ago, it can be resurrected.]
This skill? Very good! And very powerful!
But right now, Su Ling had no use for it; even a million-year-level Spirit Bone would have been better.
Currently, what Su Ling wanted was something to increase his own Soul Power or improve his body.
Getting this one-time use skill was not as good as trading this golden treasure chest for ten red treasure chests.
The resurrection skill could only be considered icing on the cake; it was useless for now, but might be useful in the future.
"Fine, it is better than nothing."
That was how opening treasure chests worked; you could not control what came out. It might be something you could use right now, something you could use in the future, or even something useless.
Having drunk too much wine, it somewhat affected his ability to Cultivate, so Su Ling did not plan to Cultivate tonight and decided to just have a good sleep.
"Brother Su, are you asleep?"
Just as he lay down, Ning Rongrong knocked on the door.
"I was just about to sleep. Rongrong, is something the matter?" Su Ling said.
"Father and the others are too much. How could they let so many people come to find you to drink? I made you some hangover soup." Ning Rongrong said.
Su Ling got up and opened the door; Ning Rongrong was carrying a box in her hand.
"Thank you, Rongrong." Su Ling said, taking the box Ning Rongrong handed him.
"Then Brother Su, rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to our Sect treasury to pick out some good things." Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
"Alright, then Rongrong, you go back and rest early too." Su Ling said.
He did not let Ning Rongrong come in; after all, several pairs of eyes were constantly watching Ning Rongrong.
Su Ling did not intend to do anything to Ning Rongrong right now anyway, so he decided not to cause any trouble.
In the dark night!
Ning Rongrong left the courtyard where Su Ling was staying, and not far away, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all watching this place.
"Rongrong has grown up." Ning Fengzhi said.
"The little demoness from before has also become a well-behaved girl." Sword Douluo shook his head and said.
"Indeed, she has someone she likes. However, this kid Su Ling is truly not bad. Don't let his level fifty-six fool you; ordinary Spirit Emperors or even Spirit Saints might not be his match. His future achievements will definitely not lose to those two from the Clear Sky Sect." Bone Douluo said.
"Fengzhi, Rongrong's judgment is quite good. With Su Ling in the future, even if we are no longer here, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will still be among the Upper Three Sects, and its status will be unshakable." Sword Douluo said.
Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice: "However, is it only the Upper Three Sects?"
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, regarding that Hidden Weapons manual that Su Ling gave us, I have already summoned several blacksmith Grandmasters of the Sect to study it together."
"Fengzhi, are you in such a rush?" Sword Douluo asked with a puzzled expression.
Ning Fengzhi said: "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I feel that with this thing, as long as we can forge it, our future status might not just be limited to the Upper Three Sects, but far exceed them."
If possible, what Ning Fengzhi was thinking of was not just becoming the head of the Upper Three Sects, but building the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into a super power that would not lose to the two great Empires, or even Spirit Hall.
"Is this thing really that powerful?" Bone Douluo also asked with a puzzled expression.
"Perhaps it is, perhaps not, but it is worth a try." Ning Fengzhi said.
"Then this Su Ling is really a decent fellow. I hope he treats Rongrong well. If he has ulterior motives, hmph... I will be the first one not to let him off." Bone Douluo clenched his fists and said.
The next morning.
Before Su Ling had even gotten out of bed, Ning Rongrong brought breakfast.
That night, Su Ling had slept very well.
After eating breakfast with Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong first took Su Ling to a luxurious courtyard in the Sect; from now on, this would be Su Ling's residence in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The courtyard was not very large, covering about ten mu, and was equipped with seven servants, including maids.
Although Su Ling would likely not come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School often, the necessary arrangements had been made for him.
After seeing the courtyard, Ning Rongrong took Su Ling to the treasury of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Brother Su, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a total of seven treasuries, including one first-class treasury, two second-class treasuries, and four third-class treasuries."
"Father told you to choose three items from our first-class treasury." Ning Rongrong explained.
Su Ling first took out the energy crystal from the Intermediate Formation and said: "Rongrong, help me ask if your Sect has this; I need it."
"This? Then I will help you ask. Brother Su, come with me." Ning Rongrong said.
The two started from the third-class treasuries, asking the various managers in charge one by one. But from the third-class treasuries to the last first-class treasury, they asked everywhere, yet there was still no information about the energy crystal in Su Ling's hand.
"Brother Su, can you give me this crystal? I will order people to help you search for it." Ning Rongrong said.
"Sure." Su Ling nodded.
The energy in the one he took out had already been used quite a bit, so it was fine to let Ning Rongrong take it.
"Brother Su, then let us enter the first-class treasury." Ning Rongrong said.
"Alright!"
Ning Rongrong had already greeted the person in charge of guarding the treasury, and since they had just helped confirm the crystal, the two were already at the entrance of the first-class treasury.
"Young Miss, remember, this time Guest Elder Su can only choose three items, not one more."
"Oh, Uncle Dong, I know." Ning Rongrong said with some impatience.
The man in front of them, who looked to be in his fifties, was also a Spirit Douluo over level eighty and the person in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's first-class treasury.
Just for this first-class treasury, there was a resident Spirit Douluo, as well as several Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Masters guarding it; the security was very strict.
Following Ning Rongrong into the treasury, Su Ling saw all kinds of rare things: rare medicinal herbs, rare metals, spirit tools used by Spirit Masters, and so on.
After walking for a while, Su Ling came to a mask.
"What is this?"
Ning Rongrong said: "Brother Su, this is a mask that can change one's appearance and voice, called the thousand illusion mask. I took it out to play when I was a child; it cannot be considered a good thing."
After speaking, Ning Rongrong picked it up and put it on her face. The next moment, Ning Rongrong's appearance changed and actually turned into the likeness of Zhu Zhuqing.
"Brother Su, take a good look, use your Mental Energy." Ning Rongrong reminded him.
Su Ling followed what Ning Rongrong said, and upon looking, he immediately discovered the flaw; the thousand illusion mask seemed to be ineffective, and he could see Ning Rongrong's original face clearly.
"Rongrong, does this thousand illusion mask have any limitations?" Su Ling asked.
Ning Rongrong said: "As long as a Spirit Master has a Mental Energy ten levels or more higher than the user, they can distinguish it using their Mental Energy. When I was young, I didn't understand and thought no one noticed, so I made quite a few jokes in front of Father and the others."
Only being able to see through it with a Mental Energy ten levels higher, wouldn't that be very useful?
One must know that Su Ling's current Mental Energy had already reached level 90; if it was ten levels higher, wouldn't that mean it would take level 100 to see through it?
"Rongrong, this is not bad, I will take this." Su Ling said.
"Ah, just this one?" Ning Rongrong felt it was not worth it.
But Su Ling thought it was useful and said: "I will take this one."
"Alright then, Brother Su, if you say it is useful, then it is useful. Let us look at other things." Ning Rongrong said with a giggle.
An hour later, Su Ling came out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's first-class treasury.
He chose three items.
Besides the thousand illusion mask that Su Ling was interested in, the rest did not interest him, so he simply chose two items that looked ordinary yet not quite ordinary.
A scroll, which contained a landscape painting; Su Ling felt it was very special, so he took it.
There was also a pitch-black token; nothing was carved on it, it was bare, but this seemingly ordinary token weighed over a hundred jin.
Things he could not see through might be a bargain, but Su Ling admitted that he had really seen too many good things. With the medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could not look down on those from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As for Spirit Bones, there were a few, but they were also extremely ordinary, or even useless Spirit Bones, so there was no need for Su Ling to take them.
As for spirit tools, there were some that were quite interesting, but they were only somewhat interesting, so Su Ling felt he did not need to take them either.
After picking and choosing, Su Ling simply took these two items, somewhat influenced by the novels he had read in his past life, thinking perhaps he could find a hidden gem.
After choosing the items, Su Ling and Ning Rongrong only stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for one day, and on the third day, the two returned to Shrek Academy.
A few days after returning to the Academy, Su Ling left Shrek Academy again.
This time, he prepared to head to the location of the ruins on the map given by Liu Erlong, and then go get the energy crystal back first.
He would also take the opportunity to visit Star Luo City, and if there was a chance, see if he could take care of Dai Mubai while he was at it.
He might encounter danger, so Su Ling did not bring Zhu Zhuqing and chose to go alone.
