Chapter 161 Repaying a Favor, Gifting Immortal Herbs
The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, he hurriedly reached out and touched the Digimon machine that he had specially placed on the bedside table. He couldn't wait to grab it and look at the screen. However, the Digimon egg on it, apart from being somewhat restless, seemed to have no intention of breaking open and hatching.
Xiao Yan thought to himself, "I can only wait for my soul power cultivation to improve before I see the result."
Beside the pillow, the rolling ball beast was still snoring soundly in its sleep. Xiao Yan couldn't bear to wake it, so he tiptoed out of bed.
He had originally planned to visit any one of the three education commissioners or Teacher Qin Ming today to inform him that he had something come up and couldn't participate in the competition, but he ran into them yesterday, so his plan for today fell through.
He slowly walked out the door, intending to go to the back mountain to train for a while, but when he thought that Xiao Qiuji might appear there, Xiao Yan changed his mind and walked towards the playground instead.
"Xiao Yan, what a coincidence?"
A voice came from behind, calling out to Xiao Yan. He turned around and saw Ning Rongrong, whom he had "coincidentally" met.
"Oh, Rongrong, is there something you need?" Xiao Yan continued walking sideways, waiting for the other person to come closer.
Ning Rongrong nodded, obediently took out a ring from her pocket, and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Here, this is what my father asked me to bring you. It contains some miscellaneous information about the people of the Star Luo Empire." Yu Rongrong walked to stand next to Xiao Yan.
"It seems Uncle Ning has chosen to make a deal with me?" Xiao Yan smiled. The result was exactly as he expected, and his request to borrow something from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not unreasonable. Ning Fengzhi would certainly not miss such a great opportunity.
"How could I not agree?" Ning Rongrong blurted out.
"You should know that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be said to be the top-tier auxiliary weapon spirit in the entire continent. The only drawback is in terms of spirit power cultivation. Your words would move not only my father, but any spirit master stuck at the Spirit Saint level, let alone a spirit master of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"That's true, but you guys collected these materials way too fast." Xiao Yan nodded, his consciousness scanning the storage ring. It was filled with books, the entire ten cubic meters of space was crammed full.
The exchange conditions I proposed yesterday before leaving the auction have already been prepared by the other party at just past ten o'clock this morning.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has its own intelligence system, and with the help of some financial resources and connections, this efficiency is to be expected." Ning Rongrong raised her head, revealing her pride in her sect.
"If your schedule isn't so tight, we can even find you more."
Xiao Yan did remember saying the sooner the better, but according to Ning Fengzhi's work style, shouldn't he be meticulous and do things perfectly? Now, it does seem like he's getting things done for him in a limited time.
"Don't look at me like that. My father is worried that he won't be able to keep up with you. Besides, what if you've already left for Xingluo if he didn't give you any news?"
Xiao Yan then smiled again: As expected.
Ning Fengzhi was worried that he wouldn't be able to give the items to him in time, and whether his conditions would change by then was unknown to him.
It seems Ning Fengzhi probably stayed up all night to organize this tower of data.
"Rongrong, please thank your father for me when you have time." Xiao Yan placed all the items in the ring on the ground, then swept his right hand across the Twenty-Four Heavenly Caves at his waist, and the mountain of books was instantly taken back by him.
On the tree-lined path, a student from Tiandou was stunned by the sight of the books. He was clearly shocked by the sheer number of books. As the books disappeared, he turned back to look at Xiao Yan's face as he walked past him.
After confirming that it was Xiao Yan, he turned and left with a sense of awe.
Xiao Yan then returned the empty ring.
"No need to thank me, this is a perfectly reasonable transaction," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
"Of course, I'm not thanking you for these things. I'm thanking you for the soul beast embryo that your father bought for me yesterday." With such a thick stack of books, Xiao Yan could only absorb the information in his spare time. He wasn't thanking you for that thing; it was just a mutually agreeable transaction.
However, he never expected that the soul beast embryo from yesterday would produce such an effect under the scanning of his Tyrannosaurus Rex machine. As a result, he has another possible path for his future.
The two had unknowingly arrived at the playground, having already run out of things to say halfway there.
Xiao Yan was a man of few words, rarely speaking except when there was something to discuss, which made Ning Rongrong feel somewhat awkward, so she could only follow him all the way.
"Your father said he wanted you to come and ask me for that breakthrough opportunity?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.
"Huh? Hmm." Ning Rongrong didn't quite understand at first, but after realizing the meaning behind Xiao Yan's words, she nodded.
"Although my father has always been at the Soul Saint level, the temptation of breaking through to the Martial Soul level is greater for him. But it seems that over the years, he himself said that he no longer focuses on cultivation. On the contrary, he hopes that I can make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School flourish."
They have a clear understanding of themselves and are accurate in recognizing the facts.
Xiao Yan nodded. He didn't say it explicitly, but the effect of this immortal herb on Ning Rongrong would definitely be 30% better than on Ning Fengzhi. Ning Rongrong was still a Soul Venerable, and her cultivation in all aspects was promising, while Ning Fengzhi's form was already set.
He had said long ago that even if he took the Qiluo Tulip, the best outcome would be to turn the Seven Treasures in his hands into Eight Treasures.
"Let's go then, to my dorm."
"Huh?" Ning Rongrong froze on the spot. Last night, she went back to the sect with her father. Early this morning, she received the organized materials from her father and rushed to Xiao Yan's place.
There wasn't even time to get dressed up.
Ning Rongrong tucked the hair from her right cheek behind her right ear and nodded, but her cheeks were already flushed.
"What? If I'm giving you something so precious, I should at least find a secluded place. What if someone else sees it?" Xiao Yan couldn't understand why this little girl was being so shy.
Xiao Yan then turned and headed towards the dormitory. He only hoped that the Rolling Beast would be awake by the time he entered the dormitory and wouldn't startle him with some sleep-talking.
The two entered Xiao Yan's bedroom. Xiao Yan carefully woke up the rolling beast and sent it to keep watch outside the door.
Although the little one was somewhat reluctant, it still did as instructed.
Actually, Xiao Yan could have given the herb directly to Ning Rongrong so she could take it in her own room, but he wanted to see the actual effect. However, he was also afraid that the girl might not be able to handle the medicine well and would make a scene in her room, so he resorted to this method.
Xiao Yan then took out the silk tulip from his treasure pouch.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with the vibrant aroma of the immortal herb.
