Chapter 84: Knowing the slightest thing and returning to the clan
Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, meeting hall.
As the richest sect in the world, the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect has business all over the world. Therefore, as the sect leader, Ning Bowen had to deal with the news from the major empires every day.
At this moment, Ning Bowen was sitting in the front seat, looking through the documents sent back from the sun and moon with a serious expression, and exchanging opinions with Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong, the two elders who stayed behind in the sect from time to time.
"It seems that the new policies of the Sun and Moon Empire are not friendly to us merchants from the Douluo Three Kingdoms." Ning Bowen frowned and kept fumbling with his cane, showing his inner sorrow.
Since the holy war four thousand years ago, Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent have fallen into a long-lost peace. In the past four thousand years, although the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun and Moon Empire did not look at each other, they had always communicated with each other in terms of business and trade.
Of course, except for some rare metals and soul tools.
Especially thirty years ago, commercial exchanges reached their peak.
But now, everything has changed.
After the adjustment of the tariffs in the Sun and Moon Empire, the transaction costs of merchants in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms have greatly increased. As for industries related to people's livelihood, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, their tariffs have been increasing faster than the Jiubao Glazed Sect can make money.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Bowen sighed.
"The current situation on the mainland is about to be stormy. The Sun and Moon Empire is very ambitious, and its current behavior is to prepare for the restart of the war, so as not to be controlled by others in a sudden war in the future. Now our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect is just like it was ten thousand years ago and four thousand years ago. Just like a thousand years ago, we have reached a fork in the road and we have to start thinking about where the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect should go. "
"There's still enough time."
Zhiyong's bitter and resentful face revealed a touch of confidence. "If the Sun and Moon Empire wants to get rid of the influence of the merchants of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, it will take twenty years. Not to mention that Junting boy and Wufeng girl have grown up by then, at least we old guys can do it if we work hard. Breakthrough, one level 98, one level 97, a total of five or more super Douluo, plus the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can protect the sect."
Ye Xuanji nodded silently, twenty years was enough for a breakthrough.
"I hope so."
Ning Bowen was noncommittal on the surface, but in his heart he was not optimistic about Uncle Zhi and Uncle Ye's opinions.
Not to mention how the forces of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms would be suppressed after the Sun-Moon Empire won the war. He was not confident in just keeping the sect safe during the war. As the leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, he has a long-term vision and can see the future of soul guidance devices.
He was worried that Mingdetang could develop a soul guide that would threaten Extreme Douluo. If that were the case, the sect would be in danger.
Therefore, he had great hope that the sect could have a ninth-level soul master. In this way, we can also deal with soul guides.
At this time, a disciple in white suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Kneeling on one knee, he reported: "Reporting to the sect leader, Young Master Ning Tian, Young Master Chen Junting, and Miss Wu Feng have returned from Shrek Academy for the holidays and are now at the sect square."
"oh!"
A smile suddenly broke out on Ning Bowen's face, and his previous worries were swept away. Then he calculated the time and said, "That's right, it's been almost a year since they left the sect. Minus the hunt for soul rings and the trip on the road, it's time to get 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 hall.
"I think back then, when I came back from Shrek Academy for the first time on vacation, I brought back a lot of talents to the sect, all of whom are now the mainstay of the sect. Among them, Taiyu, Zihan, and Qinglan are already The Supreme Elder and the others are also the backbone of the sect now." He turned to Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong and said with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Then Xiaotian 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 Jiyong is the same.
"Good seedlings, they are all good seedlings."
Not long after, the door was pushed open from the outside. Facing the sunlight shining in, the man and two women at the head came slowly.
Ning Tian in the middle is dressed in a white palace, 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. Her long hair is like flames, exuding wild beauty.
Chen Junting on the left is dressed in a gold-patterned 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 met the sect master and the two supreme elders." The identities of Xuanji and Zhiyong.
The Shrek Academy students who were following the Chen Junting trio became a little nervous after seeing the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect Master and the two Supreme Elders. After all, the three people in front of them were the sect masters and supreme elders of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. But when they thought about the purpose of them and Ning Tian coming here, which was to attach themselves to the sect, their eyes became hot again.
Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong held Ning Bowen in the middle, one on the left and the other on the right, and then slowly came to the front of Chen Junting and the others.
"Welcome back."
Then, they looked at the students behind them.
"We also welcome you to the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect."
When everyone saw this, they quickly saluted. But Ning Bowen stopped him with a smile, "You're welcome. You are all Xiaotian's classmates, so her father and grandfather are the only ones here now, so don't think of me, Uncle Ye, and Uncle Zhi as the sect masters and elders. Just treat him as your elder."
Ning Bowen's approachability, gentleness and elegance undoubtedly dissipated the nervousness of these Shrek students, and made them have a good impression of Sect Master Ning and the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
Then, Ning Bowen looked at Ning Tian who was standing aside.
"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 about. The martial soul is the eyes of the original martial soul, and it is also connected to the brain. He has taken the soul guidance department for one year and is already a second-level soul mentor."
Huo Yuhao quickly bowed to Ning Bowen.
"I've met the sect leader."
Became a second-level soul engineer in just one year?
Ning Bowen made no secret of his appreciation in his eyes. "Yu Hao, I know you. Although your soul power cultivation level is a bit low, it is really outstanding to become a second-level soul master in one year. I think you are very likely to become our sect's first ninth-level soul master."
"Thank you, Master."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little excited when he was praised!
Especially the sentence at the end of Ning Bowen's article, "You can call me Uncle Ning from now on," made Huo Yuhao even more excited and his face turned red.
Ning Tian continued to introduce, "This is Dugu Xin..."
"Her name is Xiao Xiao..."
"..."
Following Ning Tian's introduction, Ning Bowen nodded to several people one by one. And when he learned that Xiao Xiao was a twin martial soul, and that sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo had martial soul fusion skills, he couldn't help but be happy.
On the other side, Chen Junting stood beside Ye Xuanji.
"Master."
After 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 has broken through level 40? Can't you absorb that soul bone?"
"No."
Regarding the old man in front of him who treated him like his own son, Chen Junting said truthfully: "Do you still remember to take the soul-eating carving knife? I got some opportunities and completely purified it. So I used that purifying knife to Get some benefits on the knife.”
"And the soul ring is to obtain the ten-thousand-year golden devil bird."
"I see."
Ye Xuanji gently stroked her beard, feeling extremely satisfied. He even glanced at Zhiyong to show off that he was his apprentice. This makes Chen Junting look at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose, pretending to be invisible.
"Now that you are at level 40, that's almost it. Then I will take you to the sect's treasure house 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. In his opinion, as long as the carving knife does no harm to his apprentice, then let him go.
Not long after, Ning Tian finished introducing the Shrek students they brought back to Ning Bowen. And the students did not hesitate to accept the olive branch offered by the leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
Just at this moment, news came from the kitchen.
The luncheon is ready.
As a result, Ning Bowen took care of everyone.
