The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the top sects in the world today. Together with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it is known as the Three Upper Sects.
Unlike the other two upper sects, the core members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect do not possess powerful offensive martial spirits. Their martial spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the strongest support-type tool martial spirit.
Ten thousand years later, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Bai Chen resides, is actually the continuation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, compared to the original sect, its status has clearly declined significantly.
Now, under the guidance of Xue Qinghe, they arrived at the fortress where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located. Bai Chen felt somewhat complicated inside.
As the Crown Prince of the empire and also the sect master's favored student, Xue Qinghe naturally did not need permission to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He directly led Bai Chen and the others inside. When they arrived at a room, he knocked on the door and respectfully said:
"Teacher, it's me. I've brought Bai Chen."
"Let them come in."
A cheerful voice came from inside. Xue Qinghe pushed the door open, and the dignified figure inside entered Bai Chen's sight.
This was a middle-aged man with a gentle and elegant demeanor. Even if he did nothing and simply sat there, he naturally gave others a feeling of intimacy.
Ning Fengzhi stood up and smiled:
"Some time ago, Qinghe told me about you. I had already wanted to meet you. Hello, I am Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"I am Bai Chen." Bai Chen nodded slightly with a smile. "I heard Sect Master Ning wanted to see me. Is there something you wished to discuss with me?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded frankly.
"I heard from Qinghe that the cultivation surge in Heaven Dou City recently was caused by you. And now you also intend to establish an academy. Would it be possible for disciples of our sect to enter and cultivate there?"
His straightforward way of speaking instantly increased Bai Chen's favorable impression of him.
Bai Chen joked:
"That's possible, but I should say first that the tuition of our academy is quite expensive."
"Haha! What a coincidence. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is famous for its wealth."
Ning Fengzhi smiled gently and glanced at Bai Chen.
"But I hope you won't treat us like ordinary guests. That would make me quite sad."
"That's only natural."
The two quickly reached an agreement on this matter. Afterward, Ning Fengzhi raised another question that concerned him.
"Bai Chen, I heard from Qinghe that a large batch of soul tools that recently appeared at the Heaven Dou auction house also came from you. Do you possess the craftsmanship to produce these soul tools?"
"That's right."
Bai Chen calmly said:
"My goal in establishing the Heaven's Fate Pavilion is also to spread soul tools. In the future, Heaven's Fate Pavilion will become the largest soul tool manufacturing workshop on the continent."
Ning Fengzhi's expression immediately became serious.
"Then Bai Chen, would you be willing to sell us the crafting techniques of these soul tools? We are willing to purchase them at a very high price. I guarantee no one on the continent would offer more than us."
His tone was extremely confident, and that confidence came from strength.
Because of the special abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit and their enormous wealth, yet lacking strong combat ability, the sect was actually the most eager among the top forces to obtain soul tools.
To grasp such a method that could strengthen their own people, they were willing to pay a tremendous price.
Bai Chen thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:
"We can discuss this matter later. I can't give you an answer right now. I need to go back and discuss it with the elders of my family."
"Very well."
Ning Fengzhi did not press further and smiled:
"Then let's talk about it later. It seems I was a bit too impatient."
He paused and then asked with concern:
"By the way, Bai Chen, once your affairs become public, they will surely attract many malicious eyes. Many people may cause trouble for you. Do you need our help?"
Obviously, Ning Fengzhi held a friendly attitude toward this suddenly appearing force.
Two days earlier, after learning about Bai Chen from Xue Qinghe, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already held an emergency meeting internally.
At the end of that meeting, Ning Fengzhi strongly insisted that they should cooperate fully with this mysterious family that had suddenly appeared.
Although cooperation with such an unknown force could easily bring trouble, if it succeeded, the benefits would be enormous.
Just the possibility of solving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's combat weakness was already enough to move Ning Fengzhi.
However, regarding the safety of Bai Chen and his group, Ning Fengzhi was indeed somewhat worried.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe suddenly interjected:
"Teacher, you don't need to worry about this problem."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because the senior behind this demonic tree is a Level 99 Peerless Douluo."
"..."
It must be said that Ning Fengzhi's ability to control his expressions was far stronger than Xue Qinghe's.
Although shock could be seen in his eyes, at least he did not lose composure.
He quickly recovered and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"So that's how it is. It seems I underestimated you. In that case, you truly don't need our help."
With the strength of a Level 99 powerhouse, it would not be difficult for one person to flatten the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He had heard Douluo talk about the strength difference between Titled Douluo levels. The higher the level, the greater the gap between each rank. At the level of ninety-nine, one could even defeat dozens of lower-ranked Titled Douluo with ease.
Ning Fengzhi took a breath and changed the topic.
"By the way, little brother Bai Chen, what is your cultivation level now?"
"Great Soul Master, Level 26."
Bai Chen casually made up a number.
After all, with simulation, he could simulate however many soul rings he wanted, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.
"Level 26…"
Ning Fengzhi seemed to think of something and smiled slightly.
"Then could you help guide some of our sect's disciples? Recently, quite a few disciples in our sect believe that once they enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they no longer need to work hard. They've become somewhat lazy. I want you to give them a bit of a wake-up call."
This was obviously nonsense.
There were many ways to discipline one's own disciples. Why would he entrust it to an outsider he had just met?
However, Bai Chen did not expose Ning Fengzhi's rather obvious lie.
He knew that Ning Fengzhi simply wanted to personally observe his strength.
Since he wanted to know, Bai Chen would simply let him see it.
The Bai Chen of this era was different from the Bai Chen of Douluo II.
With the Star Dou Great Forest backing him, he didn't need to hide anything.
"Alright."
