Two Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas

Under the excited and tense gazes of Ning Fengzhi and the others, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit floating above Ning Rongrong's head burst into brilliant seven-colored light, and it slowly began to rise in height.

It wasn't until sunset that Ning Rongrong finally finished absorbing the medicinal power of the Beautiful Silk Tulip. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit had successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Pop!!!"

Feeling the soul power within her body reaching a bottleneck, and seeing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda radiating nine-colored light, Ning Rongrong leaped up in excitement and threw herself into Xiao Feng's arms, giving him a big kiss on the cheek. "Brother Feng, I love you to death!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's excitement, Ning Fengzhi and the others did not stop her but smiled with satisfaction.

Just helping Ning Rongrong evolve her martial spirit into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was enough for Ning Fengzhi to recognize Xiao Feng as his son-in-law.

"Alright, alright, Rongrong, calm down for a moment. I still need to help Uncle Ning and the others pick the right immortal herbs."

After calming the excited Ning Rongrong, Xiao Feng selected a suitable immortal herb for each of the three present.

The herb Ning Fengzhi took was the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. As a pair with the Beautiful Silk Tulip, the two are complementary, making it the herb most likely, aside from the tulip, to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Bone Douluo's herb was the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, a top-tier earth-attribute plant that could greatly enhance the user's defensive power.

Since Bone Douluo's martial spirit was the Bone Dragon, not only a dragon-type spirit but also a defensive one, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was a perfect match.

Sword Douluo's herb was the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, which could make his martial spirit more resilient.

Even if a Blue Silver Grass spirit master consumed it, they could transform their Blue Silver Grass into the Black Jade Blue Silver Spear, let alone Sword Douluo, whose spirit was the Seven Kill Sword.

Since both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were Title Douluo, they took less than half an hour to fully absorb the medicinal power of their respective herbs.

After consuming the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Sword Douluo's soul power directly broke through from level 96 to level 97, and his martial spirit evolved.

Originally, Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword was a simple and ancient giant sword, about two meters long and half a foot wide.

Now, it had evolved into a black sword, four feet three inches long, three inches wide, with a hilt one foot two inches long, radiating a chilling aura.

After Bone Douluo absorbed the power of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, his soul power also broke through from level 95 to level 96.

His Bone Dragon martial spirit, originally gray-blue in color, evolved into a dark gold Bone Dragon, with its defensive power increasing several times over.

For Title Douluo at level 95 and above, each increase in soul power was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Thanks to Xiao Feng's help, not only did Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's soul power increase by one level, but their martial spirits also evolved. Their gratitude toward Xiao Feng was beyond words.

If, earlier, they saw Xiao Feng as a wild boar with dyed yellow hair, now they saw him as an endearing golden monkey.

Indeed, as the saying goes, a mother-in-law's affection for her son-in-law only grows with time!

Another half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi also finished absorbing the medicinal power of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. His soul power broke through to level 80, and his martial spirit successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After staring at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit before him for a while, Ning Fengzhi finally calmed his emotions and stood up, patting Xiao Feng's shoulder. "Good child, if Rongrong ever dares to bully you, just come to me. I'll take care of it. You are officially my son-in-law."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's pretty face turned slightly red, and she gave him a playful glare.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded in response.

Sword Douluo suddenly spoke up, "Fengzhi, Rongrong, now that both of your soul powers have reached a bottleneck, haven't they?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, why not seize the moment? Old Bone and I are feeling a bit eager to fight, so we might as well help you find suitable soul rings."

Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi responded, "That sounds great. I'll leave it to you, Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone."

"Brother Feng, let's go!"

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to pull Xiao Feng along, he gently declined, "Rongrong, I won't be going. I'm planning to study the remaining herbs here and see if there are any suitable ones for me."

"Alright, Rongrong, don't bother him while he's working," Ning Fengzhi said. He then turned to Bone Douluo and added, "Uncle Bone, how about you stay behind to ensure no powerful soul beasts wander in and hurt Xiao Feng or the spiritual plants?"

"There's no need, Uncle Ning. Let Grandpa Bone accompany you to hunt the soul beasts!" Xiao Feng waved his hand dismissively. "The poisonous fog set up by Poison Douluo still lingers around here. No soul beast will dare to come near for the time being."

"Alright then, since the kid has said so, let's stop fussing over it. With Old Bone and me around, hunting soul beasts won't take long anyway."

With that, Sword Douluo led Ning Fengzhi and the others away, leaving Xiao Feng alone at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After they departed, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Though both herbs were highly toxic, consuming them together, along with the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's spring water, could grant powerful fire and ice resistance.

If Xiao Feng could obtain the special constitution granted by these two herbs after the simulation ended, he could search for the Green Lotus Core Flame hidden in the magma sea.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Feng took out special tools from his storage ring and swiftly harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Without hesitation, he swallowed them both before their medicinal powers canceled each other out.

"Plop!"

Before the opposing powers of extreme cold and heat could fully erupt in his body, Xiao Feng quickly jumped into the red and white spring water.

Pain! Pain! Pain!

As the two opposing forces of cold and heat clashed, Xiao Feng felt as if he were about to explode. His whole body was in excruciating pain, as though being gnawed at by thousands of ants.

Fortunately, the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressed the forces, and Xiao Feng's physical strength, comparable to that of a third-tier magical beast, prevented him from fainting from the pain.
