Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

"By the way, Xiao Chuan, these two are Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and His Excellency Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo."

Shui Lanxin snapped out of her daze and took the initiative to introduce them, "Sect Leader Ning, Your Excellency Gu Rong, these two children are students of our academy."

"Junior Lin Chuan greets Sect Master Ning and Your Excellency Bone Douluo!"

"Junior Dugu Yan greets Sect Master Ning and Your Excellency Bone Douluo!"

Lin Chuan and Dugu Yan bowed to Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Yan in turn.

Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and waved his hand lightly, "No need to be so polite. Dean Shui and I have been old friends for many years. But young lady, your surname is Dugu. May I ask who His Excellency Dugu is to you?"

"It's my grandfather!"

Dugu Yan did not hide anything.

"oh?!"

This time, not only Ning Fengzhi was stunned, but even Gu Rong, who was standing next to him, was slightly surprised.

"I never expected that old poisoner to have such a beautiful granddaughter. But if I remember correctly, you should be at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. How did you end up at the Heavenly Water Academy?" Gu Rong asked with a hoarse voice and a smile.

Shui Lanxin, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to explain, "Your Majesty, it is actually that Your Majesty Dugu has some cooperation with our Tianshui Academy. For convenience, this child was transferred to our academy."

"Really……"

Ning Fengzhi remained noncommittal, his gaze then falling on Lin Chuan.

"Dean Shui, Tianshui Academy has always only admitted women, so this sudden exception is quite unexpected. This young friend must have some extraordinary talent, right?"

"Hehe, Sect Leader Ning is joking. It's just that Xiao Chuan and I have some connection, which is why I made an exception to let him enroll. It's not that complicated. Let's talk about business!"

Shui Lanxin smiled gently and took the initiative to change the subject.

Seeing that Shui Lanxin was unwilling to reveal the details, Ning Fengzhi did not press for an answer.

"I wonder what Dean Shui has thought about the matter I just mentioned. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still hopes to reach a cooperation agreement with the Shui family."

"This……"

Shui Lanxin looked troubled. "To be honest, those special soul tools did indeed come from the Shui family, but we are unable to mass-produce them, so we are afraid we cannot meet Sect Master Ning's requirements."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Who was the predecessor who created these soul tools? Dean Shui, could you please introduce us?"

Shui Lanxin felt bitter inside, but she still forced herself to reply, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader Ning, I also couldn't contact that senior. He only entrusted the Shui family to sell on his behalf."

"Is that so? That's such a shame!"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, clearly neither of them believed this claim.

Just then, the door was pushed open again, and a figure flashed into the office.

"Ning Fengzhi, you old bones, what brings you to Tianshui Academy?"

"If we hadn't come, how would we have known you were here, Old Poison Master?" Gu Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone filled with surprise. "Old Poison Master, your soul power..."

Dugu Bo shrugged his hands behind his back, a slightly smug expression on his face.

"It's just a minor breakthrough, nothing to brag about."

Seeing Dugu Bo's seemingly nonchalant but actually pretentious demeanor, everyone present couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze subtly falling on Lin Chuan.

"Congratulations, you old poisoner," Gu Rong said with a forced smile.

Dugu Bo waved his hand. "Alright, just say it. What are you here for?"

Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, “I heard that a batch of pills appearing on the market are made by His Majesty Dugu. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is interested in them, so we have come here to purchase them.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was taken aback. He forced himself not to look at Lin Chuan and pretended to ponder for a moment before his face turned serious. "It's not that it's impossible, but it's not easy for me to make these pills. In addition, it takes time to collect the medicinal materials, so the quantity is not large."

"Your Majesty can rest assured on this point. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can help you find the medicinal herbs, and the price will certainly not be unfair to Your Majesty!"

Having said all that, Dugu Bo couldn't refuse.

If you refuse outright, you'll really break off all ties.

"Alright, what kind of medicine do you need?"

"We need a batch of everything available on the market, the more the better," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, clearly displaying his deep pockets.

As the wealthiest sect in the Douluo Continent, it embodies unbridled extravagance.

Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment, but still nodded, "I understand. You can go back first. I'll check the medicinal herb reserves when I get back, and then I'll write down the missing herbs and have someone send them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Then I'll trouble Your Majesty. I'll leave someone behind, and Your Majesty can give him the list of the necessary medicinal herbs when the time comes."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed, and cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.

"In that case, we'll take our leave now, Uncle Bone, let's go."

"Let me see Sect Leader Ning and His Majesty Gu Rong off!"

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man stood up at the same time, but Ning Fengzhi stopped them.

"Please don't bother seeing us off."

As they spoke, Ning Fengzhi gave Gu Rong a wink, and Gu Rong nodded slightly, opening a black vortex in front of them. The two of them stepped into it.

As the black vortex closed, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong disappeared from the office.

When they reappeared, they were already outside Tianshui Academy.

Gu Rong suddenly spoke up, "Old Poison Master's strength has suddenly increased dramatically, which is obviously suspicious. Feng Zhi, have you noticed anything?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, "Your Majesty Dugu does have a problem. He could have just told us the medicinal herbs we needed, but he chose to delay. Either he didn't want the formula to be leaked, or... that means he didn't know which herbs were needed either."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong immediately raised an eyebrow.

"You mean those pills weren't made by that old poison master?"

Ning Fengzhi wore a strange smile. "Uncle Gu, don't you think it's a bit abrupt that His Majesty Dugu, who clearly dislikes noise, has suddenly become involved with Tianshui Academy?"

Chapter 79: Guessing so accurately, are you out of your mind?

Among all the titled Douluo, Dugu Bo is the most unique one.

Despite being the weakest in strength, it possesses astonishing destructive power.

In addition, Dugu Bo was aloof and hated trouble. He was unwilling to talk to strangers and because he practiced poisonous arts, no soul master was willing to deal with him.

It used to be difficult to even meet them, but now they've taken the initiative to appear at Tianshui Academy and come up with so many miraculous pills. This makes one wonder.

Gu Rong squinted and nodded slightly.

"Now that you mention it, Feng Zhi, it is indeed very strange. This doesn't seem like the old poison master's style. Perhaps it's true, as you say, that those pills weren't made by the old poison master. But then who is the real pharmacist?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled gently, a wise glint in his eyes.

"Far away, yet so close."

Gu Rong raised an eyebrow. "You mean, that kid?"

“Not bad!” Ning Fengzhi nodded seriously, his words full of all-knowing confidence. “Tianshui Academy, which never admits men, suddenly has a boy. The Poison Douluo, who used to be very aloof, has appeared at Tianshui Academy and even transferred his granddaughter here.”

"Judging from what just happened, Dugu Yan and that kid seem to have a good relationship. That's interesting. One thing can be a coincidence, but when all the things come together, it's not just a simple coincidence."

Ning Fengzhi's words were not without reason.

"Feng Zhi, do you think that kid made all the pills?"

"It's probably very close to the truth. At the very least, it should be related to him. Maybe even those special soul tools were made by that young man. Otherwise, Poison Douluo wouldn't have changed so much."

These words immediately startled Gu Rong.

"Feng Zhi, aren't you overestimating that kid?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, his gaze deep. "Uncle Gu, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world. Shrek Academy has a young man who developed a magical hidden weapon. It wouldn't be surprising if there were one more."

"That's true!"

Gu Rong nodded in agreement, feeling quite moved as well.

If Ning Fengzhi's guess is wrong, that's fine, but if it's true, then that's a bit too scary.

Are young people nowadays so outrageous?

"So what do we do next? Should we go and test the waters?"

After a brief moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked, "Uncle Bone, are you confident you can handle Poison Douluo?"

"That old poison master has made significant progress. His aura has become very powerful. Although he hasn't made a move, I feel a faint threat from him. But if we really fought, I at least wouldn't lose."

After a moment of careful consideration, Gu Rong made an objective assessment.

Despite saying that, his expression was extremely serious.

Someone who was never my opponent before has improved to the point of posing a threat after a period of time. This feeling is quite unpleasant.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed. "You actually managed to make Uncle Bone feel pressured? It seems that Poison Douluo has obtained quite a good opportunity. He's really lucky!"
