Chapter 126: The True Legacy of Hidden Weapons Lies Within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
After bidding farewell to everyone from Shrek, Luo Ling and Ning Rongrong made their way to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Accompanying them were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
"Saint Son Luo Ling, it has truly been a long time," said Ning Fengzhi, smiling warmly when he saw Luo Ling and Ning Rongrong.
"Father!" Ning Rongrong threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's embrace like a little girl.
"Uncle Ning, this time I came mainly to hand something over to you," Luo Ling replied with a light smile.
"Oh? Could it be the hidden weapons Rongrong mentioned?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered with curiosity.
More than a month ago, Ning Rongrong had sent a letter explaining that Luo Ling had a gift that would greatly benefit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi had always admired Luo Ling—both his talent and his character.
If Luo Ling said something would benefit their sect, then it was surely extraordinary.
Smiling faintly, Luo Ling brought out a book from his soul guide.
During the past month, he had completely transcribed everything in his memory related to hidden weapons—though only the parts about hidden weapons themselves.
Ning Fengzhi accepted the book and examined it curiously.
After a while, as he continued to read, his expression gradually turned serious.
"Are all the hidden weapons described in this book real?" he asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.
Without saying anything further, Luo Ling retrieved several objects from his soul guide.
If Tang San were present, he would've been utterly shocked—because what Luo Ling had taken out were hidden weapons.
Wrist-mounted arrows, Zhuge Divine Crossbows, Shadow-Infused Sand Launchers, Flying Heavens Claws, and even the Mother-and-Child Chasing Soul Pierce—the ones Tang San had never revealed—all appeared in Luo Ling's hands.
This was the result of Luo Ling's month-long effort.
Although hidden weapons were known for their intricate designs, with blueprints in hand, they were not particularly difficult to manufacture.
And given Luo Ling's powerful spiritual strength, this delicate work was hardly a challenge for him.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes gleamed with fiery enthusiasm as he looked at the hidden weapons.
He compared them to the descriptions in the book, his excitement growing by the minute.
"Luo Ling, what exactly are you two talking about? What are these metal trinkets?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
It was rare to see the dignified Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect so passionate over mere lumps of iron—it seemed rather odd.
"Old Poison, would you like to see how powerful these little gadgets are?" Luo Ling chuckled and picked up the Mother-and-Child Chasing Soul Pierce.
This was the fifth-ranked mechanical hidden weapon in the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons. Luo Ling had originally planned to test the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, but the materials were too difficult to procure, so he settled for this one.
"Just those two little metal balls? What kind of power could they have?" Dugu Bo scoffed.
Luo Ling didn't argue. Instead, he walked straight out of the room toward the open training ground beside a rockery.
"Old Poison, come try it for yourself!" he shouted.
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue but flew out as well, taking a position opposite Luo Ling.
"Be careful!" Without wasting time, Luo Ling gripped the large and small iron balls. His hands blurred as he hurled them out.
The iron balls drew a perfect arc through the air and collided in front of Dugu Bo.
In an instant, they shattered, releasing a dark purple poison mist as hundreds of Bone-Melting Needles shot outward.
Dugu Bo, who had been dismissive, instantly sensed danger. His expression changed, and he quickly summoned his soul power to form a protective barrier.
But the needles pierced through his defensive soul power as easily as stabbing through paper, embedding themselves into his body without resistance.
"Ow!" Dugu Bo cried out as the embedded needles released a terrifying venom that caused his skin to flush with a strange purple hue within seconds.
"Grandfather!" Dugu Yan gasped in alarm.
Dugu Bo waved a hand, his face tense as a green serpent phantom coiled around him. The scaled form spread across the spots where the needles had struck, forcing the toxins out.
With a low growl, all the poisonous needles were expelled from his body.
"Luo Ling, it seems this old man underestimated you. That little trinket of yours is truly vicious."
Dugu Bo's face darkened. Being made a fool of by something so small was quite humiliating.
If he weren't a poison-attribute Titled Douluo, another one caught off guard like that would have been seriously injured.
"Hehe, it's just a small trinket, and you neutralized it so easily, Old Poison," Luo Ling said with a wave of his hand.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were blazing with fascination.
The ground around them was riddled with tiny holes and scorched marks where the needles had struck and corroded.
He had seen it clearly—Dugu Bo's defensive soul power, that of a Titled Douluo, had been completely penetrated. These hidden weapons were truly formidable.
"This hidden weapon is called the Mother-and-Child Chasing Soul Pierce. It only ranks fifth among the hidden weapons in Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons. What do you think of this gift, Uncle Ning?" Luo Ling asked, noticing Ning Fengzhi's excitement.
For an auxiliary-type sect like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, such fearsome hidden weapons could change everything.
In the original tale, Tang San had earned five million gold soul coins from selling what were considered average-grade hidden weapons—and that didn't even include advanced ones like this.
The version of Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons Luo Ling gave Ning Fengzhi was completely unabridged—it included the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, Peacock's Feather, and King Yama's Post.
Combined with the financial might of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Luo Ling believed Tang San's hidden weapons would truly flourish there.
Compared to Tang San's miserly habit of guarding his blueprints like his life depended on it, how could he possibly compete with the resources of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
From now on, they wouldn't be Tang Sect hidden weapons—they would be Seven Treasures hidden weapons.
The true legacy of hidden weapons would lie within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Hahaha! Saint Son Luo Ling, you've indeed given Ning a magnificent gift!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, patting Luo Ling's shoulder and clutching the book tightly.
"Uncle Ning jokes. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall are like family—this is just a small token," Luo Ling replied.
"Saint Son Luo Ling is right!" Ning Fengzhi said with a laugh.
"Since Uncle Ning is satisfied, I'm relieved. But since I've gifted this to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I do have a small favor to ask," Luo Ling continued.
"Oh? Whatever it is, just say the word. As long as it's within our power, we'll help wholeheartedly!" Ning Fengzhi assured him.
"It's not a difficult matter," Luo Ling said calmly. "The hidden weapons I gave you actually came from Tang San. If he ever finds out, I hope you, Uncle Ning, will firmly claim that the hidden weapons originated from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and that Tang San stole the designs from us."
Luo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. What if the source was Tang San?
Tang San would have no way to defend himself—he certainly couldn't reveal that he was a transmigrator.
When that time came, everyone would believe the hidden weapons belonged to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. After all, who would doubt such a grand sect?
And Tang San would be branded a thief.
