97: Magic grass? Wait another thousand years?

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

With his large eyes wide, watching the show from the side, Su Ye never interrupted from beginning to end.

This time, he truly learned a lot; you can ask for money like this.

This girl is truly a genius, excellent!

Su Ye knew that the gold coins and the merchant association were definitely not because of him; it was most likely something between Rongrong and Qing'er.

However, for her to be willing to trick her family, it seems he didn't misjudge her when giving her the Immortal Herb.

Ulterior motives?

Other plans?

Su Ye didn't care about these things; there is no love without reason in this world, and seeking advantage while avoiding harm is the norm.

At least, Su Ye was very satisfied and appreciative of this attitude towards them.

Hearing about the merchant association, Ning Fengzhi didn't respond immediately or nod right away.

He lowered his eyes and stared at his daughter, Ning Rongrong. If he couldn't tell she was talking nonsense, then he, as the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, would truly have been one in vain.

"This wretched girl is actually helping outsiders!"

Glancing at Su Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Fengzhi felt a little jealous.

The Sifang Merchant Association wasn't as large as the Seven Treasures Merchant Association, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School losing it wouldn't be a major issue.

But at least it was a significant industry within the Sect, not a small amount like one million gold Spirit coins.

"Rongrong, who is this?"

Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, his gaze fixed on Su Ye. Since arriving, his attention had been on Su Ye.

After Rongrong arrived in Heavenly Dou City and was discovered by hidden scouts, the news was sent back, and he brought Bone Douluo to Heavenly Dou City.

After arriving in Heavenly Dou City, he coincidentally witnessed a brilliant battle.

A three-ring Soul Venerable easily defeating a veteran Soul Douluo expert?

Such a terrifying thing, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have dared to believe it.

Just as he was about to follow and meet him, he unexpectedly found out that the other party knew his precious daughter. This was truly a coincidence beyond belief.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi even felt a little envious of his daughter Rongrong's good luck.

Her cultivation level increased by ten ranks.

Her Martial Soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The friend she made is an unprecedented peerless genius.

Individually, any one of these things would have been something he could only dream of achieving when he was young, yet this girl has it all.

"Him~"

"Who else could he be? Zhuqing's boyfriend~"

Ning Rongrong pouted her little mouth, deliberately trying to keep him in suspense. She was clearly holding a grudge over the merchant association matter, blaming someone for ruining her good plan.

As soon as she said this, an awkward atmosphere immediately spread throughout the scene.

Ning Rongrong seemed to realize she had said something wrong and honestly stood to the side, pulling at her skirt hem.

"Uncle Ning, Senior Bone Douluo..."

"Please have a seat, both of you. I'll go make you some tea."

After saying this with a gentle smile, Zhu Zhuqing pulled Ning Rongrong away with her, to prevent her from causing trouble here.

With the two girls gone, only Su Ye and the two other men remained. Some things could now be discussed without reservation.

At Su Ye's invitation, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo went together to the main hall for receiving guests.

"Tonight's battle was truly eye-opening."

"Throughout history, I fear no one has possessed Title Douluo-level strength at your age."

"Little friend, in the future, you will likely create a legend in the Soul Master world!"

Gentle and easygoing.

Without any pretense.

His bright, spirited eyes revealed astuteness and wisdom, unshaken like a mountain in wind and rain.

This was Su Ye's most intuitive feeling about Ning Fengzhi.

As the ancient saying goes, mercy is unfit for commanding troops, righteousness for doing business, benevolence for governing, and kindness for being an official.

As the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Su Ye naturally knew that Ning Fengzhi was by no means as kind as he appeared on the surface.

But at least this level of cultivation was not annoying, unlike the Huo Family, who were arrogant and overbearing.

"A legend, huh..."

"I imagine that day won't be too far off."

Su Ye shrugged nonchalantly, with no intention of being polite, his face showing considerable confidence.

At this moment, he felt that the possibility of him *not* becoming a god was even smaller than the possibility of him becoming one.

Being too polite and humble would instead appear too hypocritical.

Seeing Su Ye being so direct, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

The young man's tone was too calm, and his gaze was equally unperturbed, without any trace of arrogance, as if he was talking about something completely ordinary...

That vibrant youthful Spirit, like a wave of wind penetrating his heart, touched Ning Fengzhi in a way he hadn't felt in a long time.

After some simple pleasantries, he brought up the main topic.

"Little friend, I wonder if you still have one of those Immortal Herbs?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were burning; he had originally planned to get better acquainted first, but now it seemed he couldn't wait any longer.

"I imagine you've heard Rongrong mention that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has a flaw, only allowing Soul Masters to cultivate up to the Soul Sage realm."

"I have cultivated diligently for many years but have always remained at level seventy-nine Soul Sage, without making any further progress."

"If possible, I am willing to pay a heavy price to obtain an Immortal Herb!"

"I also know the preciousness of this item. Little friend, if you have any conditions, please feel free to state them directly."

Su Ye waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about conditions? That's too formal. Master Ning, look at what you're saying. Rongrong is Qing'er's good sister. If there are benefits, I naturally prioritize my own people."

"To be honest, the medicinal herbs are indeed available."

"Rongrong knows where the medicinal herbs are. You can go and pick them yourself when the time comes."

Having the medicinal herbs made Ning Fengzhi's heart surge, but as Su Ye's last sentence came out, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Pick them himself?

He didn't believe that such priceless treasures would be given away for free upon their first meeting. Even close brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

If Su Ye's cultivation was still shallow, it might be possible for him to use this to show goodwill to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But his strength is comparable to a Title Douluo. From what that girl Rongrong said, even the reclusive and solitary Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, is at his beck and call.

Two Title Douluo are already enough to contend with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Su Ye has absolutely no need to show them goodwill.

Furthermore, even giving something to Rongrong came with conditions, let alone giving something to him.

A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and Ning Fengzhi immediately thought of the key point, quickly saying:

"Little friend, can that medicinal herb be consumed now?"

He's here~

He's here~

He's walking over with steady steps~

All his plans finally came full circle at this moment, and a kind and amiable smile bloomed on Su Ye's lips.

"I'm afraid not."

"To be honest, there was only one of that medicinal herb, and Rongrong has already consumed it. The remaining one is just a young seedling and needs some time to be cultivated."

Su Ye wasn't afraid of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well being exposed now.

He had taken quite a few Dragon Blood Crystals, and after synthesizing higher-grade ones, he could completely recreate another Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

On the contrary, for the sake of the medicinal herbs, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would spare no effort to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, providing convenience for Qing'er to refine medicine.

With this amount of time, it would be enough for him to possess the strength to suppress everything!

Being stared at by Su Ye's "heartwarming" smile, Ning Fengzhi felt a chill, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"How long will that take?"

Ning Fengzhi asked, clinging to hope. Unable to break through to Title Douluo, he definitely wouldn't live past a hundred years, and everything would be meaningless then.

"Roughly... about a thousand years."

Su Ye replied with a serious expression. He wasn't just talking nonsense.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has a tenfold growth effect on plants. Immortal Herbs only have powerful effects at the ten-thousand-year level.

These words came out, making Ning Fengzhi completely silent.

A thousand years?

What the hell is the use of that!
