Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 84: Seeing the big picture from the small details, returning to the sect

Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, meeting hall.

As the richest sect in the world, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has businesses all over the world. Therefore, as the sect leader, Ning Bowen has to deal with news from various empires every day.

At this moment, Ning Bowen sat in the first seat, looking through the documents sent back from Sun and Moon with a serious expression, and from time to time he exchanged views with Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong, the two supreme elders who stayed behind in the sect.

"It seems that the new policy of the Sun-Moon Empire is not friendly to us merchants from the Douluo Three Kingdoms." Ning Bowen frowned and kept groping for his cane, revealing 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 Moon Empire did not like each other, they had always exchanged what they had with each other in terms of trade.

Of course, some rare metals and soul guides are excluded.

Especially thirty years ago, trade exchanges reached their peak.

But now, everything has changed.

After the Sun Moon Empire's tariff adjustment, the transaction costs of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms merchants increased significantly. And the tariff growth rate of industries related to people's livelihood, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, has been faster than the speed at which their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect makes money.

After pondering for a moment, Ning Bowen sighed.

"The current situation on the continent is about to get tough. The Sun-Moon Empire is ambitious, and its current actions are preparations for restarting the war, so as not to be controlled by others in a sudden war in the future. Now our Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has come to a crossroads, just like ten thousand years ago and four thousand years ago. We have to start considering where the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect should go."

"There's still enough time."

Zhiyong's face was filled with a trace of confidence. "It will take at least 98 years for the Sun Moon Empire to get rid of the influence of the merchants from the Three Douluo Kingdoms. By then, let alone Jun Ting and Wu Feng, at least we old guys can make a breakthrough if we work hard. One level 97, one level , a total of five or even more Super Douluos, plus the assistance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, can protect the sect."

Ye Xuanji nodded silently. Twenty years was enough time for a breakthrough.

"Hopefully."

Ning Bowen remained noncommittal on the surface, but in his heart he did not agree with Uncle Zhi and Uncle Ye's opinions.

Let's not talk about how the forces of the three former Douluo Kingdoms will be suppressed after the Sun Moon Empire wins the war. He has no confidence in keeping the sect safe in the war. As the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, he has a long-term vision and can see the future of soul guides.

He was worried that Mingdetang could develop a soul guide that could threaten the Ultimate Douluo. If that were the case, the sect would be in danger.

Therefore, he hoped that the sect could have a ninth-level soul guide, so that they could also respond in terms of soul guides.

At this moment, a disciple in white suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

He knelt on one knee and reported: "Master, Young Master Ning Tian, ​​Young Master Chen Junting, and Miss Wu Feng have returned from their vacation at Shrek Academy and are now at the sect square."

"Oh!"

Ning Bowen's face immediately lit up with a smile, and his previous worries were swept away. He then calculated the time, "That's right, it's been almost a year since they left the sect. Minus the hunting of spirit rings and the journey, they should be home today."

"Okay, go down and inform the kitchen first to prepare a high-end lunch according to the number of people coming to welcome them."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The white-robed disciple quickly retreated and left the hall.

“Thinking back to the time when I returned from Shrek Academy for the first time during the holiday, I brought back a lot of talents to the sect, all of whom are now the backbone of the sect. Among them, Taiyu, Zihan, Qinglan and others are already supreme elders, and the others are also the backbone of the sect now.” He turned his head and said to Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Xiaotian and my apprentice are both better than you."

With Ye Xuanji's cultivation level as high as level 97, as long as he wanted, no movement 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, all of them are good seedlings."

Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside. Facing the sunlight shining in, a man and two women walked slowly in.

Ning Tian in the middle was wearing a white gown, with her long golden hair fluttering in the wind, setting off her exquisite curves, making her look elegant and graceful.

Wu Feng on the right is wearing a red outfit that outlines her hot body. Her long hair is like flames, exuding a wild beauty.

Chen Junting on the left is wearing a robe with golden patterns, which is gorgeous yet dignified. His long hair is as white as snow, swaying like flowing sword light.

When they take off their school uniforms, they show their outstanding grace.

"Meet the Sect Master and the two Supreme Elders." ×3
Since there were other people present, Chen Junting and the other two did not use private titles, but directly used words to indicate the identities of Ning Bowen, Ye Xuanji and Zhiyong.

The Shrek Academy students who followed behind Chen Junting and the other two became a little nervous after seeing the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's leader and two great elders. After all, the three people in front of them were the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's leader and great elders. 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 supported Ning Bowen in the middle, one on each side, and then slowly came to the front of Chen Junting and the other two.

"Welcome back."

Then, he looked at the students behind them.

"You are also welcome to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted. But Ning Bowen stopped them with a smile, "You're welcome. You are all Xiaotian's classmates, so now there are only her father and grandfather here, so don't treat me, Uncle Ye, and Uncle Zhi as the sect leader and elders, just treat us as your elders."

Ning Bowen's approachable, gentle and elegant manner undoubtedly dispelled the tension of these Shrek students, and made them feel good about Sect Master Ning and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Then, Ning Bowen looked at Ning Tian beside him.

"Won't you introduce your classmates to me?"

Ning Tian smiled and walked in front of Huo Yuhao first.

"Dad, this is the Huo Yuhao I told you about. His martial soul is his martial soul eye, and it is also connected to his brain. He took the soul guidance course for one year and is already a level 2 soul guide."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly bowed to Ning Bowen.

"I've met the sect leader."

Becoming a level 2 soul mentor in just one year?

Ning Bowen did not hide his admiration in his eyes. "Yuhao, I know you. Although your soul power is a little low, it is really outstanding to become a level 2 soul master in just one year. I think you are likely to become the first level 9 soul master in our sect."

"Thank you, Master."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel excited when he was praised!
Especially Ning Bowen’s next sentence, “From now on, you can call me Uncle Ning,” made Huo Yuhao so excited that 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 everyone one by one. When he learned that Xiao Xiao had twin martial souls and that Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo had martial soul fusion skills, he couldn't help but feel happy.

On the other side, Chen Junting stood beside Ye Xuanji.

"Master."

Staring at Chen Junting for a while, Ye Xuanji nodded slightly, and said with a tone that was half relieved and half incredulous: "You kid actually broke through level 40? Did you absorb that soul bone?"

"No."

Chen Junting said to the old man who treated him like his own son: "Do you still remember taking the Soul Devouring Knife? I got some opportunities and purified it completely. So I got some benefits from the purified knife."

"And the soul ring is used to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Golden Demon Bird."

"I see."

Ye Xuanji stroked his beard gently, feeling extremely satisfied. He even glanced at Zhiyong, showing off his disciple. This made Chen Junting look at his nose and his heart, pretending not to see it.

"Since you are level 40, that's about right. Then I'll take you to the sect's treasury to obtain a secret technique."

"Thank you, Master."

"Why thank me? It will be yours sooner or later anyway."

During their conversation, Ye Xuanji did not mention the carving knife. In his opinion, as long as the carving knife did not harm his apprentice, then he could let it go.

Not long after, Ning Tian introduced the Shrek students they brought back to Ning Bowen. And the students did not hesitate to accept the olive branch thrown by the leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

Just at this moment, news came from the kitchen.

The lunch is ready.

So Ning Bowen hosted a welcoming ceremony for everyone.
