4 "The 10 golden treasure chests"

The soul ring, which has become completely red, is at least two hundred thousand years old. Sect Master Ning, you're very fortunate. It's worth a million soul gold coins, and you could obtain such an exceptional treasure with them. However, please be aware that this soul ring holds considerable power, and Sect Master Ning might find it challenging to handle," explained Ye Xuan.

When the store opened today, there were three treasure chests: one golden, one red, and one black. They had earned a total of one hundred and eleven soul gold coins, and Ye Xuan was already calculating his reward in his mind.

Ning Fengzhi knew that what Ye Xuan said was true, but he still felt a bit reluctant to part with a soul ring that was two hundred thousand years old. However, as the leader of a sect, he quickly made a decision.

"Tío Jian, I will hand over this two hundred thousand-year-old soul ring to you."

Sword Douluo didn't beat around the bush, nodded, and absorbed the soul ring directly in front of everyone.

A dazzling red light radiated from his body, forming a gradually expanding red halo. Everywhere the red light went, everything turned red, and everyone felt a sense of oppression.

Sword Douluo's soul rings continued to appear one after another: two yellow, two purple, and five black, for a total of nine soul rings, which were also a perfect match.

At that moment, the last black soul ring of Sword Douluo, which had acquired a reddish tint, gradually turned completely red before everyone.

Even though Sword Douluo had his eyes closed and remained motionless as if he felt nothing, he was actually going through a lot of difficulty. After all, this was a soul ring that was nearly two hundred thousand years old, and its energy was overwhelming. If it weren't for Sword Douluo's skill, which was already a Super Douluo, the energy would have been too much for him.

Despite his bravery, a fine line of blood could still be seen at the corner of Sword Douluo's mouth.

Xue Qinghe watched all of this with a dangerous look and couldn't help having murderous intentions. Facing a level ninety-seven Super Douluo of the attack type was already a significant challenge, and now his final spirit soul had become a two-hundred-thousand-year-old soul ring. Moreover, Sword Douluo and the Glazed Seven Treasure Sect were said to be even more formidable.

However, almost immediately, Xue Qinghe calmed his murderous intent and regained his composure. Even if he were to reveal his identity, he might not be able to eliminate Sword Douluo, leaving him a little frustrated.

Sword Douluo absorbed the soul ring very quickly and soon opened his eyes. A terrifying soul power spread from his body and disappeared, leaving him looking like an ordinary old man.

Ye Xuan couldn't sense any trace of the light that Sword Douluo had on his back, and he appeared as an ordinary man.

"Tío Jian, what level of cultivation did you reach?" Xue Qinghe asked, sensing that something was happening, and he inquired with disbelief.

Sword Douluo smiled slightly and replied, "I thank Sect Master for his assistance; I have finally made a breakthrough after decades of stagnation."

Initially, Sword Douluo was a level ninety-seven Super Douluo, but now he had made a significant breakthrough. He had become a level 98 Super Douluo, getting closer to becoming a level 99 Supreme Douluo. Spending a million soul gold coins to improve Tío Jian's level of cultivation was an exceptional deal for Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Xuan and realized that, besides the increase in Sword Douluo's soul power, this deal greatly benefited his Glazed Seven Treasure Sect. The influence and power resulting from this deal were immeasurable and couldn't be valued in terms of money alone.

"Bring me five more, no, ten more golden treasure chests," Ning Fengzhi requested quickly.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, appreciating his determined guest.

Ten golden treasure chests were set before everyone, and the twinkling golden light bathed the scene, leaving everyone with a golden gleam in their eyes.

The ten million soul gold coin figure was impressive, and even the wealthy Ning Fengzhi momentarily felt breathless.

"As a token of appreciation for your purchase, our establishment would like to offer Sect Master Ning an additional small benefit. You will have the opportunity to open one of these ten golden treasure chests. Inside, you will find an item that is a perfect fit for you. It could be a soul bone, a soul ring, the answer to a question, an immortal herb, a soul power capsule, or other treasures. We are confident that this item will be of great use to Sect Master Ning," explained Ye Xuan with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi immediately showed interest and wanted to discover which item would be most suitable for him. Currently, Ning Fengzhi had a soul power level of seventy-nine, but due to the limitations of his martial spirit, his soul power had been stagnant for years. What he most desired at this moment was likely an increase in his soul power level.

With that hope in mind, Ning Fengzhi decided to open the first golden treasure chest. When he did, a dazzling pile of soul gold coins was revealed before his eyes, almost blinding him. "Congratulations, you've won one hundred thousand soul gold coins," announced Ye Xuan.

Ning Fengzhi furrowed his brow; he had spent a million soul gold coins and, in return, had only recovered one hundred thousand, resulting in a loss of nine hundred thousand coins. The second golden treasure chest also contained soul gold coins; there was no need for a reminder, they were another one hundred thousand coins. When he opened the third golden treasure chest, he no longer found soul gold coins; instead, there was a purple soul ring emerging from the chest. "Excellent! After absorbing it, the lifespan of all your soul rings will increase by three thousand years, undoubtedly boosting your power," commented Ye Xuan with a smile.

Finally, a smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's lips, and he proceeded to absorb the soul ring directly. With Sword Douluo protecting him, Ning Fengzhi's security was never a cause for concern. After absorbing the soul ring, Ning Fengzhi inspected it carefully, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips, clearly pleased with the improved quality of the soul ring. He found a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Likewise, he discovered a soul power capsule that increased soul power level by two ranks (if below level 80).

Additionally, he obtained one hundred thousand soul gold coins.

And another one hundred thousand soul gold coins.

He found a scroll.

And, once again, a soul power capsule that increased soul power level by two ranks (if below level 80).

In the last golden treasure chest, he uncovered a peculiar herb.

The peculiar herb was extraordinary; its roots and leaves were adorned with perfectly groomed vines, while at the top was a golden tulip. The rich and intoxicating aroma of the tulips immediately filled the room, infusing a sense of grandeur into the air.

This was the Qiluo Tulip elixir.
