Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 140 Ning Fengzhi’s Visit
Ning Fengzhi originally thought that Jue Gui Douluo appeared around Xingluo Mountain and that they were here to do something bad on behalf of the Spirit Hall. However, looking at the golden visiting card in his hand, he knew that he might have guessed wrong.

"Feng Zhi, it seems to me that Jue Gui Douluo came here on his own without telling Bibi Dong."

"Maybe. If the Spirit Hall knew about this, it would be hard for the two of them."

Ning Fengzhi was constantly thinking about Jue Gui Douluo's purpose in his heart. The strength of the two of them was definitely strong on the mainland. What on earth was there in the Xingguan Sect that had such a huge attraction for them?

After agreeing to Ju Douluo's request, Ning Fengzhi followed the map given to him by the sect master and arrived at Xingluo Mountain in a short while. He entered the mountain gate under the guidance of the disciples.

This was his first time entering the Xingguan Sect. He subconsciously observed the surrounding buildings and facilities. He could only say that they were ordinary and did not look like the number one sect on the continent.

"Master Ning, our Xingguan Sect is only beautiful at night."

"Really? Then I'll have to stay and take a closer look."

The Xingguan Sect does not have many guests. Those who come as guests are either acquaintances or have high status in the mainland. The disciples responsible for welcoming these people must also be selected.

Xu Mingqing, the third generation of the Xingguan Sect, is older than Xu Mingxi and a level 76 control-type soul saint.

The most important thing is that he is in charge of the largest industry outside the Xingguan Sect. His strengths are observing people's expressions and being eloquent.

He took Ning Fengzhi to the sect master's hall on the top of the mountain, knowing full well what he should show them and what he should not show them.

Ning Fengzhi walked along the way and passed the training ground of the outer sect soul masters of Xingguan Sect. Two soul douluo elders from other families were leading the training.

He was also taken to "pass by" the medicinal fields full of precious medicinal herbs, the valley where the star-bearing ox soul beast was raised, and the pond where the star-gathering turtle soul beast was fed.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled as to why he hadn't seen any of the older generation of the Xingguan Sect, let alone many of the Mesozoic generation.

"Elders, they like to stay in the mimic training field during the day. Daytime is not a good time for us Star Crown Martial Spirit Masters to practice."

"Really? That one over there is a soul beast?"

"Oh, that is the treasure that our elder who manages the medicinal herbs holds in his heart, the ten thousand year old medicine pounding rabbit."

Isn’t this a good time for cultivation? What does this have to do with their absence? It seems that the older generation of the Xingguan Sect are busy with something.

An inexplicable light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Although he didn't know what kind of soul beast the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit was, Ning Fengzhi, who had lived for thousands of years, could still understand it.

When on Douluo Continent did the two words "ten thousand year soul beast" and "growing medicinal herbs" become combined together?

In his opinion, just the tip of the iceberg revealed by the Xingguan Sect, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is enough to prove their heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Sect Master Ning, please come this way. The Sect Master and the Young Sect Master are already waiting inside."

"Okay, hard work."

Ning Fengzhi led Sword Bone Douluo into the reception room. Xu Mingqing silently closed the door and turned around to guard the door.

The reception room was filled with the aroma of tea, the fresh fragrance spread to Ning Fengzhi's nose, lifting his spirits.

This is a treasure sent by the Ling family to thank the Xingguan Sect for their help. It is produced from the thousand-year-old cold mist pine in the far north. Only a dozen tea leaves can be plucked from it every ten years. It is extremely rare.

It has a certain nourishing effect on the spirit of the soul master. If Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had not personally brought two super douluos to the sect to show the sect's heritage, the sect master would not have been willing to take it out. In fact, as the richest sect in the world, Ning Fengzhi has seen all kinds of good things, and he has also received a few from the Ling family.

What surprised him was that the Xingguan Sect, which had long lived in the southwestern border of the continent, actually had connections with the Ling Family in the far north.

Moreover, the water used to brew the cold mist tea seems to have come from a noble source, and it tastes a bit like the Shui family's unique spiritual spring.

Ning Fengzhi sipped his tea calmly, but was thinking in his heart. The Shui family was fine, it was most likely related to the last voyage, but what about the Ling family?
And the signature on the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, if he was not mistaken, was written by Mo Yao, the patriarch of the Mo family, a large soul master family in the southeastern region of the Xing Luo Empire.

From the southern part of the Xingluo Empire to the northern border of the Tiandou Empire, the Xingguan Sect has quietly established connections with so many families. This does not seem like the actions of a sect that wants to hide from the world.

And if he remembered correctly, he had seen a document in the sect archives that the queen of the Xingluo Kingdom seemed to have displayed her martial spirit.

The information clearly stated in black and white that her martial soul was a crown-type weapon martial soul that could control starlight.

"Master Ning, this tea doesn't suit your taste. Do you want me to ask Mingxi to change it for you?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Xu. This tea is very good, very good."

Seeing Xu Mingxi coming forward and pretending to pick up the teacup, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly refused. Letting a Super Douluo pour tea for him was a joke.

Even though Ning Fengzhi was the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he knew that this was just a polite statement from the Xingguan Sect.

One side was interested in an alliance, while the other side was interested in recruiting him. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and the sect leader specially invited Ning Fengzhi to stay and attend the Xingguan Sect's dinner today.

"Master Ning, the Spirit Hall is our common enemy, so we can certainly cooperate, but we can discuss the specific method of cooperation after the dinner.

By then, I have some things in my Xingguan Sect that I would like to ask Sect Master Ning to appreciate and give me some advice."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Finally, Ning Fengzhi told Xu Mingxi and the others about Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and then, under the guidance of Xu Mingqing, they went to the guest room to rest for a while.

After Xu Mingqing left, Ning Fengzhi's face suddenly became serious. He wandered in the room, constantly thinking about the last words the sect leader said.

What is the form of cooperation? In the cooperation he just negotiated, he has already given Xingguan Sect great convenience. Isn’t that enough?

"Feng Zhi, stop turning. If you don't want to cooperate, let's go back now."

"No, Uncle Jian, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm thinking that the Xingguan Sect's intention may not be as simple as cooperating to take the initiative."

"You mean, they want to recruit us?"

"That's right, but I don't know what they rely on to have such confidence."

The Xingguan Sect is strong, with five or even six Titled Douluo, but his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is definitely not bad either.

Including the Blue Bird Priest who guards the sect, they also have three titles and cannot be easily controlled.
