Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

On the bustling streets of Heaven Dou City, people streamed back and forth in an exceptionally lively scene.

At this moment, Jun Lin spoke. "Brother Ning, if you need any help, just say the word."

Ning Fengzhi said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jun. What are the three of you planning to do?"

"Uh! I was just about to have breakfast with Ah Yin and Sister Linglong. Brother Ning, would you like to join us?" Jun Lin asked with a smile.

"Sure. I haven't had breakfast either! And my family happens to have opened a hotel, so why don't I treat everyone to a simple meal?" Ning Fengzhi said warmly.

The three of them exchanged looks, then gladly agreed. They followed Ning Fengzhi to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel.

Along the way, Ning Fengzhi appeared composed as he conversed with Jun Lin and asked about their experiences over the past three years. Yet Jun Lin could see from his occasional slight frown and the worry hidden deep in his eyes that his thoughts were still with Dong Liu Douluo, whose life was nearing its end.

Jun Lin sighed inwardly. As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect held a pivotal position in the world of Soul Masters. Yet it had fallen into such distress over the injuries of a single Titled Douluo. It seemed that even every powerful force had its own vulnerabilities.

Perhaps Dong Liu Douluo's injuries were not entirely without a solution for Jun Lin...

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel stood in the most prosperous district of Heaven Dou City. From afar, its magnificent structure resembled a dazzling palace.

The hotel's exterior was extravagantly decorated. Golden glazed tiles gleamed beneath the sunlight as though they radiated a sacred brilliance.

Massive stone pillars supported the broad entranceway, each carved with exquisite patterns: lifelike Spirit Beast designs and the seven-treasure emblem symbolizing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Every carving displayed the craftsmen's exceptional skill and left onlookers in awe.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, it felt as though they had stepped into a dreamlike world. The floor was covered in luxurious crimson carpeting, soft and thick enough that their footsteps made no sound.

A gigantic crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, countless crystals glittering brilliantly like stars fallen into the mortal world.

Priceless paintings hung on the surrounding walls, depicting landscapes and scenes of Soul Masters in battle. Every piece was worth a fortune.

At the center of the lobby stood a massive fountain. Clear springwater cascaded from above with a pleasant sound. Rare flowers of every kind surrounded it, their fragrance filling the air and intoxicating all who entered.

The floor was laid with soft, thick carpeting, and footsteps were nearly inaudible upon it, as though they were walking on clouds. Exquisite sculptures and artworks stood around the lobby, each immensely valuable, displaying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's immense wealth and refined taste.

The moment Jun Lin's group and Ning Fengzhi stepped into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel's lobby, a plump middle-aged man approached them with a broad smile.

"Welcome, Young Sect Master, and welcome to our establishment, honored guests!"

The middle-aged man placed his right palm over his chest and bowed slightly, performing a standard noble's salute.

Clearly, Ning Fengzhi had already sent word ahead and made the necessary arrangements while they were on the way.

It had to be said, the Ning family truly had a knack for running its businesses so successfully. Jun Lin quietly marveled.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and said to the middle-aged man, "Arrange a quiet, comfortable private room."

"Yes, Young Sect Master," the middle-aged man replied respectfully before turning to lead the way.

They crossed the lobby and proceeded down a broad corridor. Beautiful paintings lined both sides, their landscapes and figures so lifelike that it felt as if they had entered a world of art.

Before long, they arrived outside a private room. The middle-aged man gently pushed open the door, stepped aside, and gestured for them to enter.

The private room was equally lavishly decorated. Gorgeous silk drapes hung on the walls, embroidered with intricate patterns.

A massive round dining table stood at the center of the room. Made from precious wood, its surface was as smooth as a mirror and gave off a faint fragrance.

Comfortable chairs surrounded the table, each covered with soft cushions that made one reluctant to get up after sitting down.

Several pots of green plants stood in the corners, adding a touch of life to the room.

An exquisite crystal chandelier also hung from the ceiling, its warm, gentle light creating a romantic atmosphere.

Ning Fengzhi invited Jun Lin and the other two to take their seats, then said to the middle-aged man, "Bring out all the hotel's signature dishes."

"Yes, Young Sect Master," the middle-aged man answered before withdrawing.

Before long, dish after delicious dish was brought in. Each one had been carefully plated like a work of art. The tableware was equally exquisite, with silver cutlery and porcelain plates exuding an air of nobility.

"Everyone, these are all signature dishes from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel," Ning Fengzhi began with a smile.

"First is this Glazed Jade Soup. It is simmered with the tenderest vegetables and precious mountain spring water. The broth is clear as glaze, fresh and silky in texture, while that touch of green is as crystalline as jade, a delight to the eye.

Then Ning Fengzhi pointed to another dish. "This is Seven Treasure Exquisite Chicken. It uses free-range chickens naturally raised in the mountains and forests, prepared through a special cooking method. The meat is tender and juicy, with a rich aroma. Paired with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's secret seasoning, it has a unique flavor that lingers endlessly on the palate.

"There is also this Spirit Beast Delicacy Pot. It contains all sorts of rare Spirit Beast ingredients, carefully stewed until rich in nutrition and full-bodied in flavor. With every bite, it feels as though the powerful Soul Power of Spirit Beasts is flowing through your body.

"This Hundred-Blossom Honey Cake is also not to be missed. It is made from the nectar of a hundred kinds of fresh flowers. The cake is soft, moderately sweet, and melts in the mouth. Its sweetness seems capable of making one forget all troubles..."

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Jun Lin and the other two could not help marveling at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's extravagance and attention to detail. Jun Lin said, "It all looks delicious. Brother Ning, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand with a smile. "You're too polite, Brother Jun. They're just a few homestyle dishes. I hope they suit your tastes."

Ah Yin looked at the exquisite dishes and said, "Brother Ning, these hardly look like homestyle dishes. Every one of them is so refined. You must have put a great deal of thought into this."

Shui Linglong nodded in agreement. "Yes, just the plating alone shows how much care went into them."

Ning Fengzhi laughed. "Haha, as long as everyone likes them. Come, quickly try this Glazed Jade Soup. It's very refreshing."

Jun Lin took the first sip and praised it. "It really is delicious. This texture leaves an unforgettable aftertaste."

And so, they sampled the food while chatting about everyday matters. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful as they shared little details from their lives, as though time itself had slowed down.
