Sincerity of Cooperation

"...I have a feeling that someone has become a hot commodity."

Outside the main hall, the argument between the two had already attracted the attention of countless disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Wu Feng looked at Ning Fan with some jealousy. The two powerful figures who had made such a scene in the sky earlier were now arguing over this guy, which was really unacceptable.

Ning Fan looked up helplessly at the sky amidst the astonished and envious gazes of the people around him.

He knew that the current situation was all created by his uncle Ning Yunqing, and he admired him from the bottom of his heart.

But when he heard that Du Busi was going to train him for twenty years, the boy couldn't help but twitch.

"Huh? Twenty years? I don't want to leave yet..."

Twenty years? What does that even mean?

If I really agree, my entire youth will be taken away!

"Cousin Ning Fan, I have a feeling that those two old men inside are trying to make you their heir..."

Ning Tian, ​​standing beside Ning Fan, had a prophetic statement. Indeed, neither the Body Sect nor Shrek Academy wanted to let go of this promising talent, and they were vying for him fiercely.

"Alright, alright, you two calm down. No one can predict the future, so there's no point in fighting over Fan'er's cultivation time now."

Just as the competition was about to escalate into a violent conflict, Ning Yunqing spoke up in time and finalized the plan.

"Sect Master Poison, let's stick to the original plan for now. Fan'er is still young, so let him live with us for three years. Once he's nine and his mind has matured, he can then follow you in his cultivation. After that, as you and Elder Xuan discussed, we'll send him to Shrek Academy when he's twelve to resolve his Martial Soul mutation issue."

"As for what happens next, we can't predict the future. We'll have to adapt to the circumstances. What do you think?"

Ning Yunqing gave an ambiguous answer: apart from the initial three years following Du Busi, the rest were actually uncontrollable.

"Hmm, that does seem to be considering the academy's interests."

Xuanzi clicked his tongue, agreeing with Ning Yunqing's final suggestion, while Du Busi remained somewhat silent.

Sect Leader Ning had already made preparations for this.

"Of course, as a partner of your sect, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will not only discuss Fan'er's matter. The Body Sect has many powerful individuals, but most of them lack cultivation resources and stable residences."

"Alright then, starting today, all disciples of the Body Sect will enjoy VIP treatment at all auction houses, shopping malls, and hotels under our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and will receive a gold coin subsidy from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect every year."

"If you are willing to perform some security duties for our auctions, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will provide additional subsidies as a reward."

"At the same time, thirty miles outside Nine Treasures City, our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School will fund the construction of a stable base for the Body Sect, to demonstrate the sincerity of our two sects' cooperation. What do you say?"

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School lacks everything, but money is the one thing it has in abundance. Therefore, Ning Yunqing, with his deep pockets, proposed a plan that Du Busi had no choice but to take seriously.

"Sect Leader Ning, is this truly the case?"

Poison Undying raised his head suspiciously. He only wanted to take Ning Fan away on this trip and hadn't thought that he could also bring considerable benefits to the other disciples of his sect.

"Hehe, since it's a cooperation, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally has to show our sincerity."

Ning Yunqing knew that Du Busi wanted to groom Ning Fan as the successor of the Body Sect, and it was precisely by grasping this psychology that he set his sights on the entire Body Sect.

The disciples of the Body Sect mostly sleep under the open sky and on the ground, spending their days engaging in zero-yuan purchases.

Why? Because we don't have money!

If you had money, who would risk losing their head to rob someone?

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was actually willing to put aside past grievances and find them a decent job?

"Alright, in that case, I'll trouble Sect Leader Ning. I agree to all your proposals. However, Sect Leader Ning, there's no need to build stable residences for us outside the city."

Du Bu Si nodded slightly, impressed by Ning Yun Qing's sincerity and magnanimity, but he did not lower his guard.

"We're a group of people who're used to being wild, and some of our subordinates are inevitably unruly. Letting them be so close to Jiubao City is actually a potential problem."

Du Bu Si knew that Ning Yun Qing's move was an attempt to indirectly recruit the Body Sect.

With the stipend for guarding the auction, the disciples of the Body Sect could solve their living expenses and cultivation resources, and no longer had to live a life of risking their lives.

Moreover, this is merely a collaboration, and the Body Sect has no desire to become anyone's vassal.

"Hey, Ning Yunqing, are you really going to do this? Don't forget that Poison Old Monster and his gang used to rob auctions and caravans every day! You're making him guard the auction? Isn't that like putting a fox in a chicken coop?"

Elder Xuan could no longer sit still, and his words ignited the passion within Poison Undying.

"Xuanzi...you're really asking for a beating..."

Poison Undying's eyes were filled with rage, but when it came to the interests of the sect, he had to fulfill the responsibilities of a qualified leader and not let momentary anger cloud his judgment.

"Hmph, Sect Master Ning, give me three months. After three months, I will definitely find a way to make up for the losses that our Body Sect has caused to your sect's businesses in recent years! At the same time, we will fully launch cooperation with your sect."

"Xuanzi, this is my sincerity! You'd better watch out this time! Who's the real fox who's always eyeing other people's treasures!"

After saying this arrogantly, Du Bu Si got up and left the main hall.

Staring at his retreating figure, Elder Xuan gritted his teeth.

"Poisonous Old Monster, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Ning Yunqing, tell everyone in your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to focus on cultivation. A month from now, I, the Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi, and the Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, will personally lead a team of all members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who need spirit rings, whether they are ordinary disciples or sect elders, to hunt spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. No matter what level you are, you can choose any spirit beast you like!"

Elder Xuan's words were imbued with soul power, almost enveloping the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Upon hearing this, all the elders present showed expressions of shock, as did the disciples who were watching from outside. However, their shock quickly turned into cheers.

Generally speaking, Shrek Academy does not get involved in the affairs of other sects.

But this person from Shrek Academy actually made a bold statement during his battle with the Sect Master of the Body Sect, saying that he would personally lead the team to hunt down soul beasts!

He's the Grand Elder of the Sea God Pavilion!

The Grand Elder of the Sea God Pavilion is personally leading the team! What does that even mean!

Halfway there, Du Busi paused for a moment, shocked by Elder Xuan's generosity. But the shock was brief, and he left the hall without looking back.

At the entrance, Poison Undying finally met the ultimate goal of his trip.

A young man with long platinum blonde hair and a blue robe stared curiously at the commotion in the hall, his delicate face filled with shock.

"Hehe, Ning Fan, it's our first meeting. I can't kill you with my poison. Don't be fooled by that old drunkard's words. He's not that capable."

Poison Immortal gently patted Ning Fan's shoulder, his face full of satisfaction after sensing the stable and exaggerated soul power fluctuations within the boy's body at close range.

With twin martial souls, ultimate support abilities, and that miraculous mutation, this child's future is absolutely limitless!

"Don't worry, once you start cultivating under my guidance, I'll make sure your achievements surpass that old drunkard's!"

After saying this, Du Busi flipped his right hand, and an ancient book appeared in his hand.

"This is a cultivation secret of our Body Sect, passed down only to the sect leader. Take it for now and learn as much as you can. If there's anything you don't understand, I will personally teach you three months from now."

"Xuanzi, let's have a contest and see who is this child's true teacher!"

After secretly making up his mind, Du Busi first affectionately patted Ning Fan's head, then coldly turned back to glare at the arrogant Elder Xuan in the main hall.

"Just you wait!"

After saying this, Poison Undying soared into the air, transformed into a shooting star, and disappeared into the night sky.
