As discussions outside grew increasingly heated—centered on the Training Ground and the three first-grade cultivation techniques—Dugu Bo couldn't help but glance repeatedly at his granddaughter.
What had happened today was simply too surreal. Even with his lifetime of experience, he felt an unshakable sense of unease.
Ditian and the other Spirit Beasts felt the same. Such a grand phenomenon could not possibly escape the notice of the God Realm. If those shameless gods decided to act in order to suppress the rise of Spirit Beasts, they might already be making preparations to descend.
If the gods of the God Realm were to discover their Lord's whereabouts…
Even dying a hundred times would not be enough to atone.
Having received instructions beforehand, Dugu Yan remained calm. Her voice was steady as she reassured them, "Everyone, there's no need to overthink things. Just act as you always have."
Snow Princess, understanding Ditian's concerns, added gently, "The God Realm belongs to the gods of the God Realm. External gods are not permitted to interfere."
"The Douluo Continent naturally belongs to the beings born on this planet. Once someone chooses to leave, even if they were born here, they are not allowed to return."
In other words—
From this day onward, the gods of the God Realm could no longer descend to the lower realm.
Joy immediately spread among the Spirit Beasts. With this restriction in place, their Lord could recover in peace, and they themselves could cultivate without fear of divine interference.
Dugu Bo, however, felt somewhat disappointed. Dugu Yan's advice—do as usual—was far too vague for his liking.
Turning around, he caught Ning Fengzhi's gaze. After a brief exchange of looks, a spark flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Together?" he asked quietly.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for only a moment before nodding. "Let's go together."
With both parties agreeing, they voluntarily lined up and entered in sequence, becoming the first wave of customers of the day. Dugu Yan and Snow Princess did not stop them.
Inside the shop, Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi immediately spotted Bi Ji and Ye Leng Leng standing behind the counter, having taken over Li Rong's previous duties. Meanwhile, Li Rong himself lounged lazily on a reclining chair nearby, an assortment of fresh fruits placed at his side.
"Boss Li," Dugu Bo greeted first.
Before he could probe further, Li Rong raised a finger, signaling silence, then casually pointed toward the activity list and the counter.
Seeing that Li Rong clearly had no intention of conversing, the group could only turn their attention to the list.
They had waited an entire month for this.
Naturally, they were eager to see what new items had appeared.
Flame Transformation Art — Third-grade fire-element cultivation technique.
Upon mastery, cultivators can cloak themselves in flames, combining offense and defense. At higher proficiency, one may temporarily transform into fire itself, partially ignoring physical attacks.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
Accumulated Edge Skill — Third-grade metal-element cultivation technique.
Cultivators nurture condensed, razor-sharp spirit power during daily training. When unleashed during combat, it can double the power of Spirit Abilities. Once expended, it must be re-nurtured.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
Spring Grass Art — Third-grade wood-element cultivation technique.
By comprehending the essence of life, cultivators greatly enhance life-attribute Spirit Abilities while reducing spirit power consumption. At great mastery, vitality becomes difficult to dissipate, and spirit power flows endlessly.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
Earth Control Skill — Third-grade earth-element cultivation technique.
Allows control over countless earth blades, significantly strengthening defense. At high mastery, an earthen shield forms over the body, making it extremely difficult for external attacks to cause harm.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
River Art — Third-grade water-element cultivation technique.
Grants vast, continuous spirit power and exceptional endurance. At great mastery, a water domain can be formed, altering the battlefield itself.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
Pure Essence Skill — Third-grade non-attribute cultivation technique.
Spirit power becomes pure and profound, far exceeding peers of the same rank. At great mastery, spirit power can be controlled at will, shaped freely, and used with absolute precision.
Price: 80,000 sacrificial coins.
…
Six third-grade cultivation techniques of different attributes.
Unlike Dugu Bo's relative calm, Ning Fengzhi's expression subtly changed. His political instincts immediately sounded an alarm.
He turned to Ye Leng Leng. "Boss Li… will cultivation techniques and secret manuals be prioritized on future activity lists?"
"I glanced through the list," he continued, "and didn't see any herbs or metal ores like last time."
"Yes," Ye Leng Leng replied evenly. "The herbs and materials offered previously did not sell well, while elixirs and cultivation techniques were extremely popular."
"Therefore, in future rotations, the proportion of herbs and similar goods will be significantly reduced. Cultivation techniques and secret manuals will be prioritized."
Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted slightly.
So that was it.
This Sacrificial Shop wasn't simply selling goods—it was deliberately raising the overall strength of Spirit Masters across the continent.
A revolution.
One carried out gently, quietly, and without bloodshed.
With discounted cultivation techniques, combined with the free and discounted manuals available in the Training Ground, the fastest-rising force would not be noble clans—but commoner Spirit Masters.
These techniques didn't rely on bloodlines, innate spirit power, or massive resources. They required only comprehension and compatibility.
They were poisoned delicacies—dangerous to the old order, yet far too tempting to refuse.
Commoner Spirit Masters would surge forward like sharks smelling blood, and the nobles wouldn't even have grounds to object.
After all, the shop never claimed to overthrow the existing system.
It merely "generously" gave everyone a chance to grow stronger.
From this day onward, it would be nearly impossible for the Ning family alone to maintain the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's dominance. Unless geniuses appeared in every generation, even a single break in the lineage would spell disaster.
The weight of a thousand-year legacy pressed heavily on Ning Fengzhi.
He wanted to object—but dared not.
The strange silence spread through the shop. Even Dugu Bo sensed something was wrong and glanced at Ning Fengzhi in confusion.
Only then did he notice—
Ning Fengzhi's fist, hidden within his sleeve, was clenched tightly. His fingers had gone pale from the pressure.
Dugu Bo was startled. He reviewed the list again and replayed the conversation in his mind, yet found nothing amiss.
Wasn't it a good thing that cultivation techniques would become more accessible?
As silence lingered, Ning Fengzhi's thoughts raced. He envisioned countless futures, weighing every possible path.
At last, he lifted his head and met Li Rong's gaze directly.
If he couldn't resist this tide—
Then the Ning family would ride it at the very front.
A firm resolve surfaced in his eyes.
He would make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the greatest beneficiary of this revolution.
After returning, he would establish a Seven Treasure Academy in God Craftsman City, recruiting disciples from across the Douluo Continent—regardless of background, valuing only talent.
Using sheer numbers, he would filter for geniuses.
Anyone willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would receive full cultivation.
As for Ning family disciples, their lineage alone would no longer grant them core status. Resources would instead be allocated to those with insight and potential—no matter their origin.
In the future, the Ning family would at most retain the position of Sect Master.
All other benefits and authority would be distributed fairly.
Establish a sect. Widely accept disciples.
This was the inevitable trend.
Any force that resisted it was destined for extinction.
Having made his decision, Ning Fengzhi subtly signaled to Dugu Bo that they would speak later, then calmly returned his attention to the activity list.
