Chapter 66: Shape-shifting Pill
"In this batch of pills, there is one called the Shape-shifting Pill. It allows soul beasts to transform into human form. After transformation, their beastly aura will vanish, and their strength will be preserved."
"What?"
"Doesn't that mean all your soul beasts can turn into humans?"
The three of them, Ning Fengzhi and the others, were stunned, but also started considering the possibilities of the Shape-shifting Pill.
Ning Bei smiled but didn't speak. He didn't just want to transform Ah Bao and the others; there was more to it than that.
"There's also a pill called the Instant Soul Pill, which allows a Soul Saint to instantly gain the battle power of a Soul Douluo. After using it, the user will be weakened for a period, but otherwise, there are no side effects."
Upon hearing Ning Bei's explanation, the three of them didn't know what to say. In the sect, they had quite a few Soul Saints, and if every one of them had a pill like this, the results would be unimaginable.
"Finally, there are two more pills: the Xuan Tai Foundation Pill and the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill. Both are used for foundation building, but the former is for children, and it enhances their innate soul power. It can also work for children with innate soul power of level five or higher."
"The latter is for the mother's use. It allows the child to begin foundation building during the fetal stage. Father, you can choose some disciples with decent martial spirits and have their partners use it. The results will be excellent."
The last two pills were designed to strengthen the sect's new bloodline, which Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader, took very seriously.
In fact, Ning Bei had two more pills, the Yin-Yang Soul Pill and the Yin-Yang Xuan Dragon Pill, which required specific conditions to use. These pills were of little use for the time being, so he didn't mention them.
After introducing the pills, Ning Bei immediately called for Xiao Wu, intending to test the effect of the Shape-shifting Pill.
When Xiao Wu arrived in the conference hall and saw the prominent figures present, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering if she had done something wrong recently and had been found out.
She had just secretly run around Seven Treasure City with Ning Rongrong, and it shouldn't have been bad enough to warrant an interrogation, right?
After nearly three years at Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Xiao Wu had successfully broken through to the Soul Sovereign realm.
Of course, if she didn't slack off, her cultivation might have been even higher.
Standing beside Ning Bei, the little rabbit quietly poked his arm.
"Ning Bei, is there something going on? I've been behaving well lately."
Seeing Xiao Wu's innocent face, Ning Bei couldn't help but smile inwardly.
"Xiao Wu, I called you over to give you a pill."
"A pill?"
"Yes, a pill called the Shape-shifting Pill. After taking it, a soul beast can transform into human form, retain its original strength, and also hide the fact that it is a soul beast."
"Although you've already transformed, those above Soul Douluo still might recognize your true form. Let's see if this pill helps you."
Xiao Wu's pink eyes widened in surprise.
"Ning Bei, why didn't you bring this out earlier?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes. "Do you think I didn't want to? I only just recently managed to make it. Here, try it."
Xiao Wu eagerly took the golden pill, her eyes full of anticipation, and swallowed it.
Ning Bei and the three elders watched with keen interest, curious about the effect.
After a moment, a pink mist surrounded Xiao Wu, and after several seconds, it gradually dissipated.
The two Title Douluos, who had been staring at Xiao Wu, spoke in astonishment.
"We really can't tell her true form anymore."
"Yes, she is just like an ordinary person now."
Xiao Wu, who had just opened her eyes, heard their remarks and became very excited.
"Really? Then Rongrong and I can go out and have fun now."
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit speechless. "This little rabbit, always thinking about playing. Didn't you say you were going to take revenge?"
But then, thinking of the two guardians in the Star Dou Forest, his mood became excited again.
"Xiao Wu, do you still have companions in the Star Dou Forest?"
Xiao Wu immediately stopped her excitement and nodded. After three years of living together, the little rabbit had completely trusted these people who had been kind to her.
"Yes, I still have two younger brothers in the Star Dou Forest."
Gu Rong was surprised when he heard Xiao Wu's words.
"What? Two 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbits?"
"No, no, they are two companions I grew up with, not my real younger brothers. They are the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python."
"Oh, that's a relief."
"Relief my foot! How did a rabbit like you end up with those two beasts?"
Gu Rong had just relaxed but was soon shocked again.
In his mind, those two giant beasts could crush a Soft Bone Rabbit with a single breath.
Xiao Wu seemed to understand his thoughts and awkwardly scratched her head.
"They were saved by my mother when they were little, so they always indulge me!"
Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded and then turned to Ning Bei.
"I see. Bei'er, what are you thinking?"
Ning Bei looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, what do you think if your two younger brothers take the Shape-shifting Pill and come to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then pointed to her lips.
"If they come, can they stay in your Dan Tower?"
"Of course. I might leave the seventh floor for Ah Bao to break through to the 100,000-year level, but the lower floors can be for your brothers. That would be very beneficial for them."
Indeed, after absorbing the seventh soul ring, the Dan Fragrance could now affect 100,000-year soul beasts.
Xiao Wu, hearing that Da Ming and Er Ming could also benefit from the Dan Fragrance, happily nodded.
"Okay, let's go to the Star Dou Forest together. I believe they'll agree. The Dan Fragrance is really amazing."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Bei with admiration.
This was an effortless way to bring two Title Douluo-level strong warriors into the sect, and it really pleased him.
If Ning Bei knew what he was thinking, he would certainly scoff. Anything that brings an advantage to the sect is clearly to his liking.
So, the hardworking tool-type Douluo, Chen Xin, took Ning Bei and Xiao Wu directly to the Star Dou Forest.
As soon as Ning Bei returned to the sect, he sighed about his busy life, but when he thought about the Titan and the Ape, he immediately felt energized.
Guided by Xiao Wu, the three of them soon arrived at a lake.
The little rabbit scanned around, seemingly searching for something, and after a while, she shouted toward the lake.
"Da Ming, I'm back! Come out!!"
With a splash, a huge head emerged from the water, sending waves splashing everywhere.
The massive bull's head exuded an oppressive aura. Chen Xin felt the pressure and instinctively stood in front of Ning Bei, though he knew this was Xiao Wu's younger brother, he remained on guard.
"Moo! Xiao Wu, you're finally back! How was life in the human world?"
Xiao Wu, seeing her family, was incredibly excited.
"Da Ming, long time no see! I'm fine, don't worry! I made a lot of friends. This is Ning Bei and his grandfather, Title Douluo Sword Douluo."
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Ning Bei thought, "This is bad."
As expected, when the Sky Blue Bull Python heard Xiao Wu's introduction, it looked at Ning Bei and the others. Upon noticing Chen Xin, its muscles tensed, and its whole body became rigid.
"Title Douluo? Damn it, what are you planning to do with Xiao Wu?"

Chapter 67: Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape
As the Sky Blue Bull Python spoke, thunder surged from its mouth, preparing to attack Sword Douluo.
The Seven Killing Sword appeared in front of him, and Chen Xin stared at the massive beast with a serious expression, ready for battle.
At that moment, Xiao Wu angrily stepped in front of the Sky Blue Bull Python.
"Da Ming, what are you doing? This is my friend, you can't just attack!"
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu, confusion in its eyes.
"Xiao Wu, do you realize that the older person is a Title Douluo? He definitely saw through your true form. Step aside, I have to deal with him, or else you will be in danger later."
"That's not true, Da Ming. They knew my identity from the start, and they've never harmed me over all these years."
A trace of hesitation passed over Da Ming's face.
"Then... They must be planning to use you to get the soul ring of a Soul Saint, right?"
Not mentioning it was fine, but once Xiao Wu thought of something, her expression fell.
"Save it, Da Ming. Ning Bei said it himself—no one even wants the soul ring of a Soft Bone Rabbit!"
"..."
"No matter what you plan to do, leave here right now. We don't welcome humans."
The Sky Blue Bull Python still couldn't trust humans and issued an expulsion order.
Ning Bei wasn't in a rush; he was just waiting for Xiao Wu to explain things clearly.
Xiao Wu was furious when she heard that Da Ming wanted to expel Ning Bei and Chen Xin.
"Da Ming, I've already told you, they're my friends! You can't treat them like this. And you should try to feel my aura before you speak."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Sky Blue Bull Python showed a hint of helplessness, then extended its spiritual senses toward her.
"What's going on? I can't sense your beast aura anymore. Did you break through to Soul Saint in just three years?"
Ning Bei, standing aside, rolled his eyes. With Xiao Wu's lazy attitude, where would she have such high cultivation? Was she a great saint?
"No, Da Ming, I'm just a Soul Sovereign. It's Ning Bei who created the Shape-shifting Pill for me, which hides my soul beast aura. I don't have to hide anymore."
"Oh, so there's such a miraculous thing?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python turned to Ning Bei, its gaze softening considerably.
"Human, thank you for helping Xiao Wu."
Ning Bei waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
"Xiao Wu is my sister's best friend, and she's like a sister to me. You don't have to thank me."
Seeing that Da Ming and her friend had reconciled, Xiao Wu happily clapped her hands.
"Then, Da Ming, would you like to come to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me?"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? The human world? I'm not going. I don't have the resolve to transform and start cultivating again."
Xiao Wu shook her head wisely.
"Da Ming, you don't need to transform and start cultivating again. Didn't I mention the Shape-shifting Pill?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu with surprise, its bull eyes gleaming.
"You mean, the Shape-shifting Pill works for me too? And I can keep my strength?"
"Yes, come with me and Er Ming to the human world. You know the upcoming tribulation is hard to survive. It's better to go out and look for opportunities."
Da Ming thought for a while, then looked back at Ning Bei.
"Human, can I trust you?"
Ning Bei didn't speak. He summoned the Dan Tower.
Ah Bao, Yao Yao, Ah Zhu , Chang´e, Xiao Die, and Wang Wang all appeared in front of him.
The Sky Blue Bull Python looked at the beasts, its eyes nearly popping out.
"These... These are the bloodlines of those beasts?"
Stunned, Da Ming was soon distracted by the Dan Tower in Ning Bei's hand.
"Human, why does your martial soul attract me? I can't resist this temptation."
Ning Bei smiled. "If you could resist, that would be strange."
"My Dan Tower can help soul beasts increase their cultivation. The first floor adds one year of cultivation per day, the second floor adds two years, and so on, with the seventh floor adding 64 years a day."
"What? So if I stay on the seventh floor for five years, I can become a 100,000-year soul beast?"
Ning Bei found it strange. "Your soul beast math is quite good?" He then shook his head.
"Not just that. In five years, I'll break through to Soul Douluo level. After that, the eighth floor will add 128 years of cultivation per day."
"Then what are we waiting for? Give me the Shape-shifting Pill!"
Ning Bei, Xiao Wu, and Chen Xin all looked at the cunning giant beast with exasperation. So this is the true nature of the Sky Blue Bull Python.
Ning Bei took out the pre-prepared Shape-shifting Pill from the soul tool, a golden pill appearing in his hand. He then tossed it to the giant beast.
The Sky Blue Bull Python opened its massive mouth and inhaled. It wasn't clear if it swallowed the pill or not.
After a while, its body began emitting a blue-black mist, and its form gradually shrank until it stopped at about two meters in height.
When the mist dissipated, a middle-aged man wearing a blue snake robe appeared in front of the three.
The man looked down at his body, curiously examining his hands.
"This is what it feels like to be human? Quite fascinating."
Xiao Wu, seeing Da Ming transform into a human, eagerly asked, "Da Ming, how's your strength?"
Da Ming closed his eyes and focused for a moment.
"About the equivalent of a 96th-level human soul power. Not bad."
Chen Xin nodded. That was indeed impressive. Although not his match, taking Da Ming down wouldn't be easy either.
At this moment, Xiao Wu looked at Ning Bei with tear-filled eyes.
"Ning Bei, why didn't you show this earlier? I wouldn't have had to start over with my cultivation. Look, now I'm just a Soul Sovereign!"
Ning Bei smiled at the little rabbit.
"You lazy thing, I couldn't have made the Shape-shifting Pill earlier."
Xiao Wu felt dejected and nodded, then turned to Da Ming.
"By the way, Da Ming, where's Er Ming? Why haven't I seen him?"
Da Ming thought for a moment. "He must be off fighting other soul beasts. Recently, he found a 100,000-year Earthquake Tyrant Dragon."
Before anyone could respond, a giant ape suddenly emerged from the forest, punching toward Ning Bei and the others.
"Roar!!!"
Chen Xin's Seven Killing Sword moved slightly, forming a protective shield to block the giant ape's attack.
Before the giant ape could strike again, it heard two familiar voices.
"Er Ming, stop."
"Er Ming, how dare you attack your little sister?"
"???"
The giant ape's eyes widened in surprise.
On the way back, the Titan Giant Ape sensed human presence and thought its lair was under attack.
"Roar!!!"
The giant ape beat its chest, clearly excited, but still puzzled about the man in the snake robe.
Xiao Wu and Da Ming chatted and gestured with the Titan Giant Ape. After a while, it finally understood the situation.
Its eyes gleamed as it looked at Ning Bei, beating its chest.
"Roar!!!"
"???"
Ning Bei looked confused at Xiao Wu and Da Ming.
"Uh... Can someone translate? I don't quite understand this foreign language!"

Chapter 68: Three-Eyed Golden Lion
Xiao Wu covered her mouth and smiled.
"He's saying that you should also give him a Shape-shifting Pill so that he can join us at Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Bei nodded and gave a thumbs-up to the little rabbit, the translator.
Another golden pill appeared in his hand, which he threw toward the giant ape.
The giant ape opened its massive mouth and inhaled, and the pill immediately disappeared.
A golden mist emerged from its enormous body, and just like the Sky Blue Bull Python, it began to shrink slowly.
After a while, a muscular, fierce-looking man about two and a half meters tall appeared before the four of them.
The man skillfully pounded his chest.
"Roar, ?? Xiao Wu, Da Ming?"
"Hm? Er Ming, you learned how to speak?"
"Yes, yes!"
"That's great! I won't have to be your translator anymore."
After transforming, the Titan Giant Ape's strength was slightly weaker than the Sky Blue Bull Python, with a power level of 95.
Ning Bei nodded in satisfaction. The goal of the trip had been achieved.
"If there's nothing else to take care of, let's set off!"
Xiao Wu nodded and looked at her two brothers.
"Let's go, Da Ming, Er Ming."
Er Ming didn't say anything, but Da Ming flew straight into the lake.
A short while later, he appeared again, throwing a storage bracelet to Ning Bei.
"What's this?"
"This is some of the items we've collected over the past several thousand years. Most of them came from some careless humans and deceased soul beasts. They aren't much use to us, so you can take a look and decide what to do with them."
Ning Bei used his spiritual senses to scan the bracelet, then paused for a moment before handing it over to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin took the bracelet and scanned it, finding that there were quite a few soul bones inside.
There were ten thousand-year, thousand-year, and hundred-year soul bones, totaling no less than twenty. While they might not be very useful to the two of them, there were many disciples at Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, making it a fairly valuable asset.
"Thanks, Da Ming! Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really needs these."
Da Ming waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing. He considered it a token of gratitude for taking care of Xiao Wu over the years.
"Then I won't be polite. By the way, do you want to fly back with us, or would you prefer to enter my Dan Tower and cultivate a bit?"
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged glances.
"Let's enter the Dan Tower. I want to see what it's like!"
"Me too!"
Ning Bei nodded. The Dan Tower flashed and took the two beasts into the sixth floor. He then jumped onto Chen Xin's Seven Killing Sword, and the three of them flew toward Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
At the sect's meeting hall, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were waiting for them and quickly inquired about the results of the trip.
Ning Bei didn't speak. Instead, he summoned the Dan Tower and called out Da Ming and Er Ming.
Under the puzzled gazes of the two, he introduced them.
"These are Xiao Wu's two relatives, Da Ming, the Sky Blue Bull Python, and Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape. After transforming into human form, they now have the cultivation of level 96 and level 95, respectively."
Ning Fengzhi was extremely excited after hearing the introduction. From today onward, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would stand tall, with four Title Douluo-level powerhouses. Who would dare to challenge them now?
"Greetings! You both can treat Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as your home, just like Xiao Wu."
Er Ming didn't respond to Ning Fengzhi's words, but Da Ming nodded at him. He had already heard Xiao Wu mention these people in the Star Dou Forest.
"Greetings, Sect Master Ning. I was wondering, are there any rivers or lakes nearby with good depth?"
"Hm??"
Ning Bei immediately explained, "Father, the thing is, Da Ming's true form is the Sky Blue Bull Python. Besides cultivating in the Dan Tower, it's best for him to stay in places with water."
Ning Fengzhi understood immediately after hearing this.
"I see. This is simple. Although the lakes in Seven Treasure Forest are quite shallow, we can have a few water-attribute soul masters use their soul skills to modify them."
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning."
"No need to thank me. Feel free to make any requests."
After some friendly exchanges, Ning Fengzhi had a preliminary understanding of Da Ming and Er Ming. Once he learned about Er Ming's personality, he signaled Bone Douluo with a glance.
The two immediately found a place to spar.
It must be said that the sect master handled the situation with ease, quickly resolving the matter with the soul beasts.
After dinner that evening, Ning Bei, having made two trips to Star Dou Forest, finally had some time to rest. He lay on his bed and exhaled a deep sigh.
He thought to himself, the most important step in arming Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was complete. Now, as long as Ah Bao and the other beasts reached the 100,000-year level, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be unbreakable.
By then, even if Haotian Sect had seven Title Douluo, they wouldn't stand a chance.
Indeed, having already dealt with the little angel and the Pope, Ning Bei subconsciously targeted his future enemies—the forces of the little brat, Haotian Sect.
Next, as long as he could shatter the plans for the snowstorm and successfully help Qian Renxue become the Emperor of Heaven Dou, the little brat would never again be able to unify the Douluo Continent and consolidate the fate of the world.
Not even the Sea God's protection would be within his reach.
Ning Bei planned to train his trusted confidants and see if he could gain Sea God's approval. After all, before Sea God selected Tang San as his successor, he was unaware of the Shura God's schemes, and this could be used to his advantage.
After thinking for a long time, Ning Bei felt like he had forgotten something.
"Strange? What did I forget?"
After a moment, he finally remembered.
He had found a strange egg on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.
It could attract a beast wave even in its embryonic state, so it couldn't be an ordinary egg.
Ning Bei summoned the Dan Tower and used his spiritual senses to inspect the giant egg on the fourth floor.
It had red-gold patterns on it, looking quite beautiful.
Suddenly, a message appeared in his mind.
"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, cultivation -5331 years."
"?????"
Ning Bei's face was full of shock. Did he really bring home the egg of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
Given that the second Three-Eyed Golden Lion had just reached 15,000 years of cultivation, it was very possible that this egg was born at this moment.
The negative cultivation also confirmed his guess.
"What do I do? If those beast kings from Di Tian find out I took their treasure, won't they come and wreck my place? Should I return it?"
After thinking for a while, Ning Bei made a decision.
"Return it? Forget that! I found it, so it's mine."
But the negative cultivation made him a bit anxious. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still just an egg, and he didn't know if the Dan Fragrance would have any effect on it.
After a few days, Ning Bei received information from the Dan Tower. The egg's cultivation had increased to -5324 years, and he felt much more at ease.
As long as it was a soul beast, even if it was just an egg, I can help it grow.
Imagining that in the future, he would have a 100,000-year Emperor Beast, Ning Bei couldn't help but feel elated.
After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's existence could double the cultivation speed of other soul beasts, and its chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation would also double.
By then, with the Dan Tower, it wouldn't be a dream to mass-produce 500,000-year soul beasts.
"Little lion, hurry up and hatch!"

Chapter 69: Shape-shifting Pill, Dan Lei
Ning Bei's trip to Star Dou Forest had been quite fruitful. Not only had he obtained a 100,000-year soul ring and matching soul bones, but he had also acquired the Imperial Beast.
Let's not even mention the peak combat powers of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Star Dou Forest truly was his blessed land.
After absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bones from the Pure Heart White Deer, Ning Bei's cultivation directly surged to a terrifying level of 76. If the Soul Saints who had been diligently cultivating knew about this, they would probably shed tears.
A few days later, Ning Bei planned to give the Shape-shifting Pills to his soul beast team. Although there wasn't a huge need, having them in human form would make communication easier. They wouldn't have to rely solely on telepathy as before.
Summoning the beasts, Ning Bei scanned them and nodded in satisfaction.
"Everyone, I've got a great pill for you!"
"Roar!"
"…"
The beasts, hearing that there was a pill, all showed excited expressions. Ning Bei's pills were never ordinary, and the feeling of their strength rapidly increasing was intoxicating to them, but this time, they seemed to have misunderstood.
Several golden Shape-shifting Pills appeared in his hand, which he then fed to the beasts.
In no time, colorful mist emerged from their bodies.
Ah Bao's body, which was dozens of meters long, began to shrink, turning into a giant man about the same size as Er Ming, except with white short hair.
"Roar? Master?"
Hearing Ah Bao speak in a rough voice, Ning Bei waved his hand.
"Ah Bao, we're best friends, no need to call me master. Just call me big brother."
The white-haired giant scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Big Brother!"
"Mm."
Ning Bei then turned his gaze to the Human-faced Demon Spider. As the black mist dissipated, a woman, very similar to the fourth sister of the Black Mythology, revealed herself.
"Master, your servant greets you!"
"No need for that, just call me big brother like Ah Bao."
Ning Bei sighed lightly. Why was everyone calling him "master"? What happened to the dignity of soul beasts?
The beasts thought about the free food and shelter, so what was dignity?
At this moment, the Demon Eye Tree and the Emerald Swan also completed their transformations.
The Demon Eye Tree turned into a youth with an eerie face and deep blue hair and eyes. From his appearance alone, it was hard to tell his gender.
"Master!"
Okay, a guy!
The voice revealed his gender. His eerie face made Ning Bei shiver; it was even more unsettling than the King of Myriad Beasts from Star Dou Forest.
The Emerald Swan transformed into a little girl with green hair, the length of which barely reached her ears. Her hair had a slight curl, resembling a dragon girl.
"Master, master, what did we just eat?"
"Why did we change into the same form as you after eating?"
Alright, this one was a chatterbox. The other three beasts combined didn't speak as much as her.
And what do you mean by 'we're just like you'? I have something you don't!
Ning Bei clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Alright, from now on, just call me big brother. You're all my companions, not master-servant. Understood?"
"Roar, understood, big brother."
"Your servant understands, Big Brother Bei!"
"…"
"Big brother, I thought you needed at least 200,000 years of cultivation to transform into a human. That's what Granny Bi Ji told me."
??????
Granny Bi Ji? Well, from an age perspective, that makes sense.
"I gave you the Shape-shifting Pill, which allows you to transform into human form early. This way, we can communicate better. Don't panic; you can still change back into your beast form."
After explaining the situation to the beasts, Ning Bei returned them to the Dan Tower, focusing on reaching the 100,000-year level. With the efficiency of the seventh floor, Ah Bao would break through in less than two years.
The hatching of the Imperial Beast was also on his agenda. This would provide an additional double experience card for the beasts on top of the Dan Tower's efficiency.
With the transformation issue settled, Ning Bei went to visit Gu Rong's residence and entered without hesitation.
"Grandpa Bone, I need your help."
Gu Rong, looking kindly at the young man before him, smiled. The young eagle had finally taken flight.
"Bei'er, what do you need from Grandpa? Just tell me!"
"After I obtained the seventh soul ring, it seems that when I make certain pills, it triggers Dan Lei (Dan Thunder). I want to test the strength of the Dan Lei."
"Oh? Is that so? Let's go."
Gu Rong said, immediately grabbing Ning Bei and flying toward a private forest.
After they landed, Gu Rong looked at Ning Bei.
"Come on, Bei'er, let me see what kind of Dan Lei it is."
Ning Bei nodded and, with a flash of the Dan Tower, summoned the blood-red seventh soul ring. A Rebirth Pill appeared in his hand.
The sky seemed to sense the aura of the pill, and dark clouds began to gather above them, with thunder rumbling inside.
Ning Bei threw the pill toward Gu Rong, who caught it with one hand.
"Grandpa Bone, be careful. The thunder will strike the pill directly."
"Alright!"
Gu Rong didn't dare be careless. The thunder in the sky felt threatening, and he activated his Martial Soul, preparing to face the Dan Lei.
A few seconds later, a five-meter-wide, single-colored bolt of lightning shot toward Gu Rong. The violent energy collided with the Bone Dragon Martial Soul, raising a cloud of dust, and the surrounding grass was charred black.
After a moment, the shockwave dissipated.
Gu Rong's figure reappeared before them. As expected, the Dan Lei from the seventh-grade pill did not cause him any harm.
However, his expression revealed undisguised shock.
"Bei'er, this Dan Lei would severely injure any ordinary Title Douluo. It's truly terrifying."
"Really? Well, it looks like I've gained a new method of dealing with enemies!"
After hearing Gu Rong's analysis, Ning Bei couldn't help but envision using Dan Lei to confront his foes.
In his imagination, Ning Bei's right thumb and index finger curled slightly, holding a pill between them.
"Super·Electromagnetic Cannon."
The pill was shot toward the enemy, and immediately the sky's thunder surged, turning the enemy into ash.
Gu Rong pondered for a moment before giving a definitive answer.
"Indeed, any ordinary Title Douluo would never be able to get close to you. But just using these seventh-grade pills to throw at people, isn't that a bit of a waste?"
Ning Bei waved his hand.
"Grandpa Bone, this is just an idea for now. Right now, with Ah Bao and the others protecting me, ordinary Title Douluo can't touch me, so I don't need to use this move!"
Indeed, Snake Spear andporcupine (porcupine), don't look at others. When I say ordinary Title Douluo, I mean you.
Gu Rong nodded.
"Indeed, as long as you have a plan in mind, that's all that matters."
"Grandpa Bone, you underestimate Dan Lei. This is the Dan Lei from a seventh-grade pill! Can you imagine what it would be like when I'm a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo?"
Gu Rong froze for a moment and thought for a while.
"Ha! You really are a versatile fighter."
With 100,000-year soul bones for defense, countless soul beasts for support, and the ability to use pills to enhance them, along with Dan Lei to face enemies, you're truly a monster.
"Ha ha, Grandpa Bone, you flatter me. Once I get my eighth and ninth soul rings, I'll come to you to test the strength."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, Gu Rong shuddered. You're truly giving me heart attacks.
Ning Bei grinned to himself. It's payback for all those times you called me a monster.

Chapter 70: Purification
"Grandpa Bone, let's head back, I still have a soul bone skill I haven't tested!"
After testing the strength of Dan Lei (Dan Thunder), the two were ready to return home. Ning Bei still wanted to test the ability of the right arm bone from the Pure Heart White Deer.
"Oh? Is that the soul bone from the 100,000-year soul ring?"
"Yes, according to what that elder said before the sacrifice, this right arm bone has the ability to purify and refine bloodlines."
"Refine bloodlines? Can any bloodline be purified?"
Ning Bei shook his head.
"We don't know yet, so we need to try it out."
"Alright, let's go."
The two returned to the sect and went straight to the meeting hall, where they had someone summon Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
"Old bone, why did you call us here?"
Seeing that Ning Bei and the others had already arrived, Chen Xin directly asked the reason.
Gu Rong explained the process of testing the Dan Lei's strength to them. As they looked at him as though he were some kind of monster, he then introduced Ning Bei's right arm bone's ability.
"Refine bloodlines? Such a vague concept. It might be extraordinary, or it might not do much at all."
Chen Xin stroked his beard and thought for a moment, wondering about the feasibility of this ability.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had similar expressions.
"Bei'er, do you think the bloodline of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be purified?"
Ning Fengzhi's bold guess struck like lightning in the minds of Jian and Gu.
"Fengzhi, what do you mean?"
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Jian and Gu, who were staring at him.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. I wonder if the reason the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can't evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is because the bloodline purity isn't enough."
"This…"
Ning Bei was quite impressed with his line of thought. It was almost exactly what he had been thinking.
"Father, we should try it. There's no real cost to it."
"Mm."
"However, who should we test it on?"
"Let Rongrong do it. If I hadn't broken through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limit, I would be the most suitable to try it myself."
Ning Fengzhi immediately decided on who would undergo the experiment, thinking that refining the bloodline shouldn't be too dangerous.
Ning Bei and the others nodded in agreement with his idea.
They had Rongrong summoned. When the little girl saw the serious faces of the four, she thought she had done something wrong.
She quickly ran behind Ning Bei and hid.
"Father, Grandpa, why did you call me here?"
Ning Bei pulled the little girl out from behind him.
"Rongrong, big brother has just gained a new ability, and it might be very beneficial for you, so I called you here to try it."
Hearing that it wasn't because of something she had done wrong, Rongrong let out a sigh of relief. After listening to Ning Bei's explanation, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"What benefit? Let me try it, I want that benefit where I don't have to cultivate but my soul power increases!"
Her words made the four people in the room facepalm. This girl and Xiao Wu were both just as lazy.
"Ahem, ahem, Rongrong, stop daydreaming in broad daylight. I want that good stuff too."
"Huh? What is it? Show me quickly."
Ning Bei didn't waste any more time. After exchanging looks with Ning Fengzhi and the others, he nodded and gently placed his hand on the little girl's head, beginning to release the soul bone skill.
A pale white light appeared, enveloping Ning Rongrong.
"Big Brother, what is this? I feel so warm and comfortable!"
"Rongrong, don't get distracted. Pay close attention to the changes in your body."
Ning Fengzhi and the others fixed their gaze on Ning Rongrong as soon as the soul skill was activated, hoping to observe any changes in her body.
After a while, the light faded. The three of them looked slightly disappointed, as they didn't notice any change in Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes and looked down at her body. She glanced at everyone with a confused expression.
"What's going on? I don't feel any changes."
"It's fine, Rongrong. It's just that our guess didn't turn out quite as expected. There's no harm in it."
Ning Fengzhi reassured the little girl, intending to send her back.
At that moment, Ning Bei interrupted.
"Rongrong, did you feel an increase in your soul power? Or did the speed of your Martial Soul's cultivation improve? Even if it's just a little bit?"
After hearing her brother's question, the little girl closed her eyes and began to feel her Martial Soul.
After a while, she excitedly opened her eyes.
"Big Brother, my soul power did increase a little, about the same as seven days of cultivation."
"What?"
"Rongrong, really?"
Ning Fengzhi and the others were stunned as they looked at the siblings.
"Bei'er, what do you think? Tell us."
Ning Bei thought for a moment and then said:
"If the bloodline has been refined, then the changes in the Martial Soul might not be immediately apparent, as it's a long-term process. But the benefits should be immediately noticeable."
"So you mean, Rongrong's bloodline has indeed been refined, but it will take more time for her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve, right?"
Ning Bei nodded, confirming his thoughts.
"Exactly. The sudden improvement in bloodline purity will lead to the evolution of the Martial Soul, an increase in innate soul power, and an increase in soul power level."
"The evolution of the Martial Soul will take time, but the increase in innate soul power and soul power level should show noticeable results. In other words, using my soul bone skill to refine the bloodline over time will undoubtedly bring endless benefits."
A hint of excitement appeared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
"Wonderful! This means that in the future, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will not just have two Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, but much more!"
Rongrong's thoughts were simpler; she just wanted to increase her soul power.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, give me more! I want to break through to Soul Saint today."
Ning Bei looked at her with a black line on his face and gave her a light slap on the head.
"You think it's like buying cabbage on the street? You want more? Do you think I can use the soul bone skill that easily?"
"Ugh, that hurts! Stinky Big Brother, if you don't want to, then don't do it!"
The little girl held her head and immediately pouted.
Ning Fengzhi and the others smiled at the scene.
"Bei'er, now it's up to you to refine Rongrong's bloodline."
Hearing that there would be more of these benefits in the future, Rongrong quickly changed her expression to a big smile and looked at her brother with eager eyes.
At that moment, Ning Bei shook his head.
"Father, did you forget that I still have a Qiluo Yujinxiang in the Dan Tower? We don't need to put too much effort into refining Rongrong's bloodline for now. In a few years, when the celestial herb matures, I can have her take it directly. I think it's better for Big Brother to return to the sect first. I'll refine his bloodline for him, and when the next celestial herb matures, we can have him take it then."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, Ning Fengzhi suddenly understood. He had forgotten that Ning Bei's Dan Tower also had the effect of accelerating the growth of celestial herbs. He was also happy for his eldest son.
Talent had indeed limited Ning Fan's progress. Over the years, thanks to Ning Bei's pill effects, Ning Fan had only barely broken through to the Soul King realm at the age of 23.
This was pretty good compared to his peers, but after seeing Ning Bei's genius and Rongrong's obvious talent, they couldn't help but look down on Ning Fan's cultivation.
