Chapter 57 The Impact of the Absence of the Talisman
After sending Gu Xuan and Dugu Bo back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Gu Rong discussed the matter with Ning Fengzhi and then left the school that very night with the horse and dog talismans.
Inside the magnificent Seven Treasures Hall, Ning Fengzhi watched the ancient banyan tree disappear into the distance and sighed deeply.
Although Gu Rong had never shown any intention of leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he could sense that Gu Rong was becoming increasingly distant from him.
"Don't worry about Feng Zhi, this old man will not leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Chen Xin appeared beside Ning Fengzhi and, also watching the departing ancient banyan tree, comforted Ning Fengzhi.
He and Gu Rong had lived in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School since childhood and had long been entangled with it.
At the same time, he also understood Gu Rong's actions.
It's not resentment, just a sense of unwillingness to accept it.
It was clearly Gu Rong who thought of using soul bones to improve physical fitness and increase the number of soul rings he could absorb, and it was clearly Gu Xuan who was the most talented and most qualified to receive full-scale training.
However, because Ning Fengzhi wanted to experiment, he took out all the soul bones in the sect that were most suitable for Gu Xuan and exchanged them for gem soul bones.
And what did Gu Xuan gain?
Let alone a ten-thousand-year-old tree heart, even a hundred-thousand-year-old tree heart cannot compare to a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, let alone six of them.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to provide Ning Rongrong with the best cultivation resources, and so did Gu Rong.
As proud as Gu Rongrong and as arrogant as Gu Xuan, he would certainly not be willing to fall behind Ning Rongrong.
But the items belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so what could they do even if they were unwilling?
I have no choice but to fight for it myself.
Anyway, he doesn't need to go into seclusion recently. Since Gu Rong is determined to get a set of soul bones for Gu Xuan, he, as his brother and grandfather, must support him.
"Uncle Jian, I didn't think much about it, I just felt a little guilty towards Xiao Xuan."
Ning Fengzhi knew perfectly well what Gu Xuan needed, but he couldn't help it. His lifelong wish was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be renamed the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Now that there is such a glimmer of hope, he cannot give up no matter what.
He also understood that Gu Rong knew his difficulties but hadn't spoken up.
Therefore, he felt more guilty than worried or blaming Gu Rong.
"Since you feel guilty, then make it up to me in the future. Xiao Xuan is reasonable and will definitely not blame you—"
When Chen Xin got to this point, he didn't know whether he should say it or not. Those were six soul bones, and of extremely high quality.
He simply gave it up to someone with whom he had a life-or-death feud. If it were him, he felt he wouldn't have been so magnanimous.
And why do people always try to explain things? Does being reasonable mean you deserve to be bullied?
There's no such logic in this world.
"Why!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed again.
Now that things have come to this, he has no way out and can only hope that Gu Xuan can see and understand his helplessness.
Gu Xuan: I can see it, but I can't understand it at all.
Gu Xuan's talent is the most outstanding in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his status is also top-notch. If you want to retain such a talented and high-status person, how can you possibly keep him if you don't offer the best treatment?
This is no longer a matter of treatment, but a matter of attitude.
"By the way, Uncle Jian, is there still no news about the gem's left leg bone?"
Ning Fengzhi's thoughts were pulled back by the gemstone soul bone. Since it concerned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
Chen Xin's breath hitched, and he glanced at Ning Fengzhi with a hint of helplessness.
Shouldn't we be discussing how to preserve Gu Xuan now? Why are we suddenly switching to the topic of gemstone soul bones?
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed powerful, but what good is it if you don't have a powerful Soul Master to rely on?
However, considering that Ning Fengzhi had gone mad for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Chen Xin did not continue to provoke Ning Fengzhi.
Instead, he shook his head.
"It's only been a few days, let's wait a bit longer. Anyway, Rongrong is only level eleven, and she still has at least three years before she can absorb the next stage of her soul ring, which is enough."
Since Chen Xin couldn't change Ning Fengzhi's obsession with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he could only try his best to prevent Ning Rongrong from absorbing the soul bone too early and stimulating Gu Xuan.
As long as Gu Rong can find enough soul bones before then, he won't need to worry about Gu Xuan's mental imbalance causing him to become estranged from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He has devoted himself to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; without him, the school would probably have collapsed.
Gu Rong left, leaving decisively, but she also took with her Gu Xuan's frenzied training rhythm.
Lying on the ground, Gu Xuan's eyes revealed a clear sense of foolishness.
He seemed to have forgotten one thing: he had lent the dog talisman and the horse talisman to Gu Rong.
This means that his broken ribs seem to have no chance of healing directly.
Lying on the ground, Gu Xuan looked somewhat confused.
This was the first time he had been injured for such a long time since he awakened his martial soul.
"Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"
Afu panicked when he saw Gu Xuan, who had been kicked and hadn't gotten up for a long time.
In the past, although his kicks would injure Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan would recover immediately and continue the fight with renewed vigor.
But Gu Xuan had been lying there for so long today, which made Afu very nervous.
She rushed to Gu Xuan's side and, seeing that Gu Xuan was still panting, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly reached out to help Gu Xuan up.
It's so cold on the ground, what if you get frozen?
"fine."
Gu Xuan gave a wry smile, using his soul power to envelop the broken ribs and prevent further damage.
"I forgot to tell you before the battle that I lent my dog and horse talismans to Grandpa, so I can't continue such intense training for a while."
Although Gu Xuan could summon the talisman back with a single thought, there was no need. Recalling the talisman at this moment would only terrify Gu Rong.
"?"
Afu was momentarily stunned, then quickly pieced together what Gu Xuan was trying to say.
Without the talisman, the combat pressure doesn't need to be so high; otherwise, it would be a huge loss if the enemy got injured and had to recuperate for ten days or half a month.
"What should we do then?"
"Young Master, your injuries, if not treated promptly, could lead to serious problems."
Afu clearly understood Gu Xuan's desire for strength, and that if Gu Xuan had to recuperate for a period of time and was unable to cultivate because of him, it would be disastrous.
Even if Gu Xuan doesn't blame him, he himself can't forgive himself.
Afu instinctively wanted to find some healing soul masters for Gu Xuan, but before he could act, Dugu Bo's powerful voice came from behind him.
"What happened?"
Just then, Dugu Bo walked over with three others and asked the two strangely behaving individuals with curiosity.
"Your Majesty Dugu, come and take a look."
Upon seeing Dugu Bo, Afu felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly recounted Gu Xuan's situation.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Afu asked somewhat anxiously.
Gu Xuan, the person involved, didn't care about his injuries at all. After all, he had experienced the pain of even more serious injuries before. Now, he was more curious about the people that Dugu Bo had brought.
