Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

"Sure!"

In front of everyone, Ning Zhiping was not afraid that Qian Xunji would administer the drug, and casually picked it up and ate it.

Surprisingly, the little thing smells quite nice.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he felt a surge of heat rushing towards his arm, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in his right hand burst out uncontrollably, its body, shimmering with seven-colored light, floating quietly.

Seven spirit rings fell one after another, then were set off by a layer of rich golden light. Starlight emerged from the tower, surrounded by white mist, producing an incredibly comfortable fragrance.

The Azure Phoenix Douluo, who had been focused on gossip, was now drawn to the fragrant tower. He counted on his fingers, his tone turning astonished: "Two, four, six, eight... eight? How could it be, how did it become eight stories? Am I seeing things?"

"What, eight floors?" Ning Zhiping asked, puzzled.

"The Eight-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" Azure Phoenix Douluo exclaimed excitedly as he looked at Qian Xunji, "The legend isn't false! The Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really did evolve from the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"The Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Ning Zhiping looked down at his martial soul and realized that his martial soul had suddenly appeared without being summoned and had inexplicably gained an extra layer.

"It really is eight layers!" His mind went blank for two seconds before he immediately realized that it was all thanks to His Holiness the Pope.

These candies are amazing!

"Your Holiness, this elixir..."

"Not for sale." Qian Xunji put the medicine bottle away and explained with feigned seriousness, "The Spirit Hall obtained a batch of rare herbs and, after several months of research, refined a batch of special pills. The effects are unknown."

As he spoke, a perfectly timed hint of pain appeared on his face: "If I had known it would work this well, I wouldn't have let you try the medicine for free!"

Who said drug trials are dangerous?

This drug trial is fantastic!

Ning Zhiping very sensibly took out a stack of Gold Soul Coin cards and handed them to Qian Xunji.

"Some drugs are too expensive. Even if His Holiness the Pope were willing to let me try them, I would still have to pay for them."

Get on the right track!

Ning Fengzhi, that kind of fool who jumps around, speaks one way to one person and another way to another, and wishes the Spirit Hall would collapse, is not worthy of being the sect leader at all.

Ning Zhiping deserves the "good guy" card!

Qian Xunji checked the limit on the Gold Soul Cards: ten cards worth one million each, while the total cost of those medicinal herbs did not exceed five million Gold Soul Coins…

Ning Zhiping is too savvy!

"Since Brother Ning has already tested the medicine, how could I possibly make a small profit?" Qian Xunji deliberately obscured the total price, politely declining verbally but without actually returning the money. He used his mental power to communicate with Qingluan Douluo, instructing the other party to cooperate in putting on a show.

Azure Phoenix Douluo understood: "Your Holiness, there are new pills available. Why don't you let the younger generation of the Spirit Hall use them first?"

"The main ingredients for refining this pill are two kinds of immortal herbs that absorb the essence of the sun, moon and stars. People who can take this kind of pill must have a martial soul with the relevant attributes."

Immortal herb?

Ning Zhiping had read about some immortal herbs in the sect's records. Immortal herbs were extremely rare and hard to come by; he immediately felt he had struck gold!

Perhaps to comfort Qingluan Douluo, Qian Xunji revealed some more information: "I have some pills suitable for fire-attribute and ice-attribute soul masters, but I'm not sure if these pills will promote the evolution of martial souls."

"These pills are all made from immortal herbs. Even if their effects are poor, they can still help low-level Soul Masters increase their Soul Power by a few levels. Once I've finished my business here, I'll select a few students to test the pills on."

"Once I understand the effects of the medicine, I will put these pills on the Martial Soul Contribution Hall. Each pill will cost at least 10,000 contribution points."

"How can we obtain contributions?" Qingluan Douluo asked urgently.

Qian Xunji feigned ignorance: "Don't you know about the latest policies of the Martial Soul Academy? Students have many ways to earn contributions."

"And what about us elders..."

"Don't worry. In a while, I plan to raise the salaries of all members of the Spirit Hall, reduce the amount of gold spirit coins issued, and replace them with spirit contribution points. The overall income will definitely be higher than it is now!"

While answering, Qian Xunji also offered Qingluan Douluo some promises: "I plan to give the elders of the Offering Hall some preferential treatment. They can enjoy a 10% discount when using their Martial Soul Contribution for consumption, and they can exchange Martial Soul Contribution with Gold Soul Coins every year, with a maximum exchange of 10,000 Contribution."

As long as the goods in the Martial Soul Contribution Exchange Shop have at least ten times the profit, discounts don't matter.

As the saying goes, before Singles' Day, merchants must secretly raise prices.

Ning Zhiping asked curiously, "Your Holiness, how many gold soul coins are worth one point of martial soul contribution?"

"one thousand."

"Can I redeem it?"

"Guest Elders have a smaller quota, with a maximum of two thousand redemptions per year; Honorary Elders can redeem a maximum of one thousand redemptions per year." Qian Xunji is willing to be patient with major clients.

He needs the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this sucker, to buy luxury goods~

As for whether the outflow of scarce resources will affect the Spirit Hall...

The amount of contribution a faction can exchange for in the Spirit Hall is limited; the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's exchange amount is less than that of a single Elder.

Once the salary reform is implemented, the martial spirit contribution that a platinum bishop can obtain each year will be no less than the exchange quota of a sect.

Quota limits lock everything in!

Once the Soul Power system is fully implemented, the number of Soul Masters will skyrocket, and the job at the Spirit Hall will definitely become the most secure job in the Soul Master world!

Ning Zhiping very tactfully said, "After a while, I will submit an application to the Elder Hall to change from an honorary elder to a guest elder."

As expected of someone from the Angel Family, they don't even know how to keep the good things to themselves.

In just five years, his son will be able to possess the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda and replace Ning Fengzhi as the young sect leader!

Qian Xunji patted Ning Zhiping on the shoulder with satisfaction and exclaimed, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School owes its current success entirely to you!"

He was sold out but was still counting the money for me.

The Spirit Hall needs talents like you!

Tang Xun was envious, Tang Xun was disdainful.

If the Haotian Sect possessed immortal herbs, he would never be as foolish as Qian Xunji, openly and publicly selling them with a price tag!

"Ignorant child!"

"Ignorant old man!" Qian Xunji knew perfectly well what they were thinking; they simply felt that revealing the secret was a losing proposition.

However, it is not public.

The herb is a commodity; if the commodity cannot be sold, it cannot create real value.

Should we leave them in the Spirit Hall as decorations?

Even if the immortal herb can be used by the user, won't it die during the user's growth process? Even if it doesn't die, it will take at least 20 years to successfully grow into a Title Douluo. Gambling 20 years on an uncertain future is not as good as selling the immortal herb and investing the money.

"Oh, poor people! They see something good and immediately try to hide it, thinking their neighbors are blind and can't see anything!"

He didn't mention Tang Xun in a single word, but every sentence implied Tang Xun, which made the old man furious.

"You're so clumsy—"

"Up? We're not familiar with each other." Qianxun quickly took two steps back and circled her index finger on her temple.

"Excuse me, I didn't mean you're broke. I meant your spirit is barren."
