Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Council Hall.
As the richest sect in the world, Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has business all over the world. Therefore, Ning Bo Wen, as Sect Master, has to deal with news from major empires every day.
At this moment, Ning Bo Wen was sitting in the first place, looking through the documents sent back from the Sun Moon Empire with a serious expression, exchanging opinions with Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong, the two Grand Elder who stayed behind in the sect from time to time.
"It seems that Sun Moon Empire's new policy is not friendly to us Douluo Three Kingdoms merchants." Ning Bo Wen frowned and kept fumbling with his cane, showing his inner sorrow.
Since the Holy War incident four thousand years ago, Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent have fallen into a long-lost peace. During these four thousand years, although the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Sun Moon Empire did not look at each other, they had always communicated with each other in terms of business and trade.
Of course, except some rare metals and Soul Tool.
Especially thirty years ago, commercial exchanges reached their peak.
But now, everything has changed.
After the adjustment of the Sun Moon Empire's tariffs, the transaction costs of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms merchants have greatly increased. As for industries related to people's livelihood, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, their tariffs have grown faster than they Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can make money.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Bo Wen sighed.
"The current situation in the mainland is about to be stormy. Sun Moon Empire is very ambitious, and his current behavior is to prepare for the restart of war, so as not to be controlled by others in a sudden war in the future. Now we Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have reached a fork in the road just like ten thousand years ago and four thousand years ago. We have to start thinking about where Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should go."
"There's still enough time."
Zhiyong's bitter and resentful face showed a touch of confidence. "If Sun Moon Empire wants to get rid of the influence of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms merchants, it will take twenty years of hard work. Let's not mention Junting boy for now. Girls like Wu Feng have grown up, at least us old guys can break through even if we work hard, one is level 98, the other is level 97, a total of five or more Super Douluo, plus Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda can help protect the sect."
Ye Xuanji nodded silently, twenty years is enough for a breakthrough.
"I hope so."
Ning Bo Wen is noncommittal on the surface, but in his heart he is not optimistic about Uncle Zhi and Uncle Ye's opinions.
Not to mention how Sun Moon Empire will suppress the original Douluo Three Kingdoms forces after the Sun Moon Empire wins the war. He is not confident in just keeping the sect safe during the war. As Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master, he has a long-term vision and can see the prospects of Soul Tool.
He was worried that Mingde Hall could develop Soul Tool that threatened Limit Douluo. If that were the case, the sect would be in danger.
Therefore, he extremely hopes that the sect can have a Level 9 Soul Engineer so that it can also respond to Soul Tool.
At this time, a disciple in white suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Kneeling on one knee, he reported, "Sect Master, Ning Tian Young Master, Master Chen Junting, and Miss Wu Feng have returned from the Shrek Academy's vacation and are now at Zongmen Square."
"Oh!"
A smile suddenly broke out on Ning Bo Wen's face, and the previous worries were swept away. He then calculated the time and said, "That's right, it has been almost a year since they left the sect. Minus the hunting Soul Hunt ring and the trip on the road, it is time to arrive home today."
"Okay, you go down and inform the kitchen first, prepare a high-end luncheon according to the number of people arriving, and take care of them."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The disciples in white quickly retreated and left the main hall.
"I think back then, when I first came back from the Shrek Academy for vacation, I brought back a lot of talents to the sect, all of whom are now the mainstay of the sect. Among them, Tai Yu, Zihan, Qing Lan and they are all already Grand Elder, and the others are also the current backbone of the sect." He turned his head and said to Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Then Xiao Tian and my apprentice are both better than you."
With Ye Xuanji's level 97 cultivation level, as long as he wanted to, no disturbance in the sect could escape his perception.
So when he saw a group of people in the square, he smiled.
Even Zhiyong is the same.
"Good seedlings are all good seedlings."
Not long after, the door was pushed open from the outside. Facing the sunlight shining in, the leader, a man and two women, came slowly.
Ning Tian in the middle is wearing a white dress, with long golden hair fluttering in the wind, reflecting the exquisite curves, making her look graceful and luxurious.
Wu Feng on the right is wearing a red outfit, which outlines her hot figure, with long hair like flames, exuding wild beauty.
Chen Junting on the left is wearing Gold Patterns robe, gorgeous yet solemn, with long hair like snow, swaying like flowing sword light.
After taking off their school uniforms, they showed their outstanding grace.
"I've seen Sect Master and two Grand Elder."×3
Since there were others present, Chen Junting did not use private addresses, but directly used words to identify Ning Bo Wen, Ye Xuanji, and Zhiyong.
The Shrek Academy students who were following Chen Junting became a little nervous after seeing Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master and the two Grand Elder.
After all, the three people in front of them were Sect Master and Grand Elder of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. But when they thought that the purpose of them and Ning Tian coming here was to attach themselves to the sect's queen, their eyes became hot again.
Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong placed Ning Bo Wen in the middle, and then slowly came to the front of Chen Junting.
"Welcome back."
Then, they looked at the students behind them.
"We also welcome you to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
When everyone saw this, they quickly saluted. But Ning Bo Wen stopped him with a smile, "You're welcome. You are all Xiao Tian's classmates, so now there are only her father and grandfather here, so you don't think of me and Uncle Ye, Uncle Zhi as Sect Master and elders, just as your elders."
Ning Bo Wen's approachability, gentleness and elegance undoubtedly dissipated the tension of these Shrek students, and made them feel good about Sect Master Ning and Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Then, Ning Bo Wen looked at Ning Tian.
"Won't you introduce your classmates to me?"
Ning Tian smiled and walked to Huo Yuhao first.
"Dad, this is the Huo Yuhao I told you. Martial Soul is the eyes of Body Martial Soul, and it is also related to the brain. He took Soul Engineer Department for one year and is already Level 2 Soul Engineer."
Huo Yuhao quickly bowed to Ning Bo Wen.
"Seen Sect Master."
Became Level 2 Soul Engineer in one year?
In Ning Bo Wen's eyes, he did not hide his appreciation. "Yuhao, I know you. Although Soul Power's cultivation level is a bit low, it is really outstanding to become Level 2 Soul Engineer in one year. I think you are very likely to become the first Level 9 Soul Engineer in our sect."
"Thank you Sect Master."
Huo Yuhao was praised and couldn't help but feel a little excited!
Especially the sentence after Ning Bo Wen, "You can also call me Uncle Ning from now on", made Huo Yuhao even more excited and turned red.
Ning Tian continued to introduce, "This is Dugu Xin..."
"Her name is Xiao Xiao..."
"..."
Following the introduction of Ning Tian, Ning Bo Wen nodded to several people one by one. And when he knew that Xiao Xiao was Twin Martial Souls, and that sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo had Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he couldn't help but be happy.
On the other side, Chen Junting stood next to Ye Xuanji.
"Master."
Staring at Chen Junting for a long time, Ye Xuanji nodded gently, and said in a tone that was half pleased and half disbelieving, "You kid actually broke through level 40? Can't you absorb that piece of Soul Bone?"
"No."
Regarding the old man in front of him who treated him like his own son, Chen Junting said truthfully, "Do you remember to get a Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife? I got some opportunities and completely purified it. So I got some benefits from that purified carving knife."
"And Soul Ring gets Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Demon Bird."
"That's it."
Ye Xuanji stroked his beard gently, feeling extremely satisfied. He even glanced at Zhiyong to show off that he was his apprentice. This made Chen Junting look at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose, pretending that he could not see it.
"Since you are at level 40, you are almost there. I will take you to Sect Treasury to get a secret skill."
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, it will be yours sooner or later."
During the conversation between the two, Ye Xuanji did not mention the carving knife at all. In his opinion, as long as the carving knife did no harm to his apprentice, then let him go.
Not long after, Ning Tian introduced to Ning Bo Wen the Shrek students they brought back. And the students did not hesitate to accept the olive branch offered by Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect Master.
Just at this moment, news came from the kitchen.
The luncheon is ready.
So, Ning Bo Wen came to help everyone.
