"Uncle Ning, why did you give Tang Hao a discount? Wouldn't it be better to gather enough hundred thousand years? Isn't this a loss of Spirit Bone for nothing?" On the way back, Tianlin finally couldn't help but ask.
He didn't want to give Tang Hao that convenience at all.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Because compared to empty promises, only what we have in hand is truly ours. A hundred thousand years is too high a requirement, and Spirit Bones are hard to come by. With Tang Hao's personality, if he can't gather enough, he won't do any installment payments."
"Because he would worry that even if he gave us a Spirit Bone with ninety thousand years, and couldn't find the last ten thousand years, we would still make trouble for him. Then wouldn't the ninety thousand years given first be aiding the enemy? Therefore, he would definitely gather enough years before delivering it all at once," Ning Fengzhi explained.
"Seventy thousand years, I don't think it's a problem for Tang Hao. His most loyal subordinate, Titan, has a piece of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Right Arm Bone with thirty-five thousand years. Titan accidentally obtained it when hunting for his eighth Spirit Ring. He didn't absorb it himself, intending to leave it for his grandson Tai Long, but because of the principle that a common man is guilty of possessing a treasure, he worried that Tai Long would accidentally reveal it and be assassinated for the bone. So he has been keeping it himself, preparing to let Tai Long absorb it after he breaks through level fifty and has some self-protection ability. But if Tang Hao wants it, then Titan will definitely give it."
"Then there's Gengxin City. The Blacksmith Competition will be held in a year. According to the information I received, the champion of this competition will receive a Spirit Bone. Although I don't know the age, it should not be less than ten thousand years. Unfortunately, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's blacksmiths are very ordinary, and even if they participate, they have no chance of winning. So let Tang Hao help us win it."
"In this way, the total age of the Spirit Bones will reach around fifty thousand years, leaving only twenty thousand years. With the ability of Clear Sky Douluo, whether he buys it at an auction or robs it from evil Soul Masters or Wolf Thieves, I don't think he can't even get this little bit. Therefore, I infer that three years, a total of seventy thousand years, is the limit he can meet. Any more, besides killing Spirit Beasts on a large scale, the only way is for him to downgrade himself and cut off his hand. With his pride, he won't be so humble."
Ning Fengzhi once again calculated everything perfectly. Tianlin admitted that what he said was right. Only what he had in hand was his own. If Tang Hao couldn't gather a hundred thousand years, he definitely wouldn't give a single piece.
It would be more practical to give him a requirement that he could fulfill.
Moreover, this was equivalent to giving a sweet date after a big stick. Ning Fengzhi first gave him a discount and didn't even need him to make a Spirit Oath to express his trust. With Tang Hao's intelligence, he was probably unknowingly led astray by Ning Fengzhi, and still thought that Ning Fengzhi was a good person, and like him, valued his family. Although he wanted to stand up for his family, he still cared about the friendship between the three upper sects.
However, Tianlin was very curious about one thing. How did Ning Fengzhi know about the Titan family's situation? A Spirit Bone of thirty-five thousand years is priceless. Titan couldn't possibly be foolish enough to reveal it. Even his grandson Tai Long probably didn't know.
Seeming to see Tianlin's doubts, Ning Fengzhi smiled, "You don't need to feel strange. When Titan hunted for his eighth Spirit Ring, his original goal was a Spirit Beast of at least seventy thousand years, but at that time, his strength as a Soul Sage was not enough. Therefore, he went to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and requested us to send a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Soul Master to assist him. I did not refuse, so at that time, I sent a direct disciple and Elder Yin Yang to accompany him."
"As a result, Spirit Beasts over seventy thousand years, and must be of the strength type, are too rare. The only one that can be determined is the Titan Giant Ape. Even if the three of them were tied together, they would not be a match for that Titan Giant Ape. In the end, they had to settle for the next best thing and chose a Thousand Jun Ant of thirty-five thousand years. Unexpectedly, a Spirit Bone was dropped. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect never does things by force, so we promised to keep it a secret for him. Therefore, besides Titan himself, only our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knows about this."
How terrifying Ning Fengzhi was. He remembered everything clearly. When Tianlin said he wanted to settle accounts with Tang Hao, he had already thought about how to trick Tang Hao, and to the extent that he would still be grateful.
Among the group, he was indeed the boss. Chen Xin was just a thug, Yin Yang was the victim, and as for Tianlin, he was just a guide.
"Xiao Tian, don't think you're losing out. I will find a chance to make him spit out the remaining sixty thousand years later," Ning Fengzhi said.
Tianlin was stunned and asked, "Sixty thousand years? Isn't it thirty thousand years? Did I fail math again?"
"We always have to collect some interest!" Ning Fengzhi smiled. In the face of high-quality Spirit Bones, he completely abandoned the saying that the three upper sects are connected, anyway, he never thought of truly forming an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect, just using each other. As long as he didn't really want the lives of Tang Hao and his son for the time being, Tang Xiao wouldn't do anything.
As for those Clear Sky Elders, some of them probably wished Tang Hao was dead.
"Crap, I didn't expect Uncle Ning to be so vindictive. He tricked Uncle Ning because of Xue Qinghe's matter before, he won't still remember it, right? With his intelligence, I can't play with him." After listening to Ning Fengzhi's calculations, Tianlin silently lamented in his heart.
"Xiao Tian, don't worry, my brain won't be used to calculate my own people. In the future, if you have anything, you can actually tell me directly, you don't have to play any 'act first, report later' tricks. As long as your request is reasonable, I may not refuse," Ning Fengzhi said slowly, comforting him, looking at Tianlin's expression.
But this comfort made Tianlin feel a thunder in his heart. Sure enough, he still remembered.
"Xiao Tian, your Sect Master comes with a Head Bone, and the Spirit Bone skill is mind reading. Although I have no evidence, I am very sure," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said confidently. If he didn't have such a Spirit skill, how could he calculate everyone so perfectly?
"That, Uncle Ning, you and Master should go back first. I have to go to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. I must fulfill the promise to the Blue Silver King. I'm leaving first!" Tianlin just wanted to slip away at this moment, and without waiting for Ning Fengzhi to reply, the Demon Sword changed direction and flew towards the Sunset Forest.
"Fengzhi, you seem to have scared Xiao Tian," Chen Xin said helplessly.
"Hehe, the things he will do in the future are very dangerous. The two great empires, Spirit Hall, there are people smarter than me everywhere. If he wants to achieve great things, then he must learn to adapt to calculations and calculate others in turn," Ning Fengzhi said lightly.
In Ning Fengzhi's view, Tianlin's talent in Spirit cultivation is beyond doubt. As long as he is given time, reaching the peak of the continent is only a matter of time.
But he also has several huge flaws now. The first is that he doesn't understand calculations. Tianlin is quite smart, but it's just petty cleverness, without the great wisdom of taking one step and seeing three steps ahead. He can still help him with this. The second is troublesome, that is, his heart is not ruthless enough, and he always likes to leave three points of leeway in doing things.
When he followed Chen Xin to go out to train in the past, unless he was sure that the opponent was a great evil person, or a strong enemy enough to threaten his life, he would never kill. Even if some small gangsters provoked him without opening their eyes, he would at most just punch a few times and be done with it.
If Tianlin just wants to be a Sect Protecting Douluo, then there is no harm in having this flaw, but it can be regarded as a kind of benevolent advantage. But now his goal is to promote the unification of the entire continent. The so-called destruction and then establishment, this dream must be accompanied by endless killings, then his somewhat womanly benevolence is very fatal now.
Because the enemies on the road to dreams won't all be villains, nor will they all be strong. Some are just ordinary soldiers with different positions. Will he still show mercy then? If he's not careful, a farmer and snake situation could arise, harming himself and others.
What Ning Fengzhi is thinking now is how to make Tianlin become as decisive in killing as Chen Xin.
Otherwise, with a sheathed sword, who can he cut down?
