This city was named after the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and serves as the clan's headquarters.
Seven treasures glazed City had been exceptionally lively recently, as the title-conferring ceremony drew near, with invited guests gradually gathering.
In this era, the value of a Titled Douluo was extremely high. Among the so-called seven great clans, only the top three possessed Titled Douluos. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had just one, while the bottom four clans currently had none.
The two strongest among the lower four clans, the Saint Dragon Clan led by Tuoba Xi and the Elephant Armor Clan led by Huyan Zhen, boasted Sect Masters who were Spirit Douluos above level 87. Although Tuoba Xi might achieve the rank of Titled Douluo in the future, that event was still more than a decade away.
Thus, the sudden emergence of a Titled Douluo within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was a monumental event that shook the continent. Ning Fengzhi intended to leverage the title-conferring ceremony to display the clan's formidable strength.
"This is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan? It's truly magnificent!" Osler and Yufeng exclaimed, their eyes filled with envy as they gazed at the opulent compound.
Both of them, along with Ye Lingling, hailed from minor noble families. Their enrollment in the Tiandou Royal Academy was solely due to their talent. Compared to the direct descendants of top clans like Tianlin and Tianheng and their status was far inferior.
"It is indeed luxurious. If Dean Flender had such resources back then, Shrek Academy wouldn't have struggled so much... Alas!" Qin Ming reminisced about his alma mater In its poverty-stricken days Shrek lacked even basic mimicry practice grounds and was constantly suppressed by rival academies. Eventually it didn't even qualify for the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition.
"If Teacher Qin Ming is interested you are welcome to join my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan at any time. I can assure you a future elder position" Tianlin said with a smile.
Zhou Yan tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve upon hearing this. It was a golden opportunity Qin Ming hadn't aligned himself with any force yet and joining the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan would undoubtedly be a wise choice and with his talent and Tianlin's background, the clan would surely invest in his growth, making the rank of Titled Douluo well within reach.
"I'm flattered, Xiaotian, but I haven't decided to join any faction yet. However, if I ever do, I will certainly consider your offer first" Qin Ming replied politely
Although Qin Ming didn't commit but he didn't outright refuse, which was enough for Tianlin and whether Qin Ming eventually joined or not would be his decision.
Tianlin harbored no ulterior motives. The immortal herbs he gifted Qin Ming was simply an act of friendship and devoid of any expectation or leverage.
After traversing a long corridor and they arrived at the heart of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan: the grand Seven Treasures Hall.
Today, the Seven Treasures Hall was open to all guests—a gesture of respect toward their distinguished visitors.
Under Tianlin's guidance, they entered the hall with ease. Five grand seats dominated the hall's center: one for the clan leader and four for the elders. On one of them sat Yin Mengyang radiant and exuding newfound strength.
Having returned half a month ago Yin Mengyang had clearly obtained the spirit ring he'd long pursued. Likewise, Ning Fengzhi had likely acquired his eighth ring.
Tianlin and Gu Ran stepped forward first bowing to Ning Fengzhi then paying their respects to their respective masters.
"Xiaotian, Gu Ran, welcome back. These must be the teachers and classmates of the Emperor Team" Ning Fengzhi greeted them warmly
Tianlin nodded and introduced his companions"Yes, Clan head. These are Teacher Qin Ming and Teacher Zhou Yan. These four are Seniors Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Osler, and Yufeng."
"In addition, the Shi brothers and Tianheng will arrive later with their elders."
Qin Ming stepped forward respectfully, introducing himself "My name is Qin Ming. My martial soul is Fiery Wolf. I am a level 55 strong-attack Soul King. It is an honor to meet Sect Master Ning and the esteemed elders."
Following his example the others introduced themselves:
"Zhou Yan, martial soul Butterfly, level 50 control-type Soul King."
"Osler, martial soul Ghost Leopard, level 35 agility-attack Soul Master."
"Yufeng, martial soul Wind Chime Bird, level 35 agility-attack Soul Master."
"Ye Lingling, martial soul Nine Hearts Flowering Apple, level 35 healing Soul Master."
"Dugu Yan, martial soul Ice and Fire Jade Scale Dragon, level 39 control-type Soul Master."
Ning Fengzhi was astonished These were all extraordinary talents. Qin Ming, likely in his late twenties, was already a mid-level Soul King and at his current pace, he had a good chance of reaching Titled Douluo before sixty.
The others except for Zhou Yan, were also prodigies so no wonder Xiaotian associated with them; birds of the same feather often flock together. Ning Fengzhi suspected Tianlin had provided them with immortal herbs to accelerate their progress, as they were merely Spirit Grand Masters not long ago.
"Teacher, I am now a level 37 Soul Master, and I absorbed a two-thousand-year-old Death Tyrannosaurus ring. Not only that, but I also obtained its torso bone" Gu Ran proudly informed Gu Rong
Gu Rong was momentarily stunned doubting whether this outstanding Gu Ran could truly be his once-foolish disciple. Then joy filled his face "Excellent, Gu Ran! You've surpassed my expectations. From this day forward, you are no longer my nominal disciple but my direct disciple."
Gu Ran was ecstatic repeatedly expressing his gratitude "Thank you, Master!"
For him, becoming Gu Rong's direct disciple was a dream come true.
Tianlin was equally pleased and with Gu Ran's progress, the future legacy of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's two Titled Douluos seemed secure.
Ning Fengzhi excused himself to greet other guests, entrusting Tianlin and Gu Ran with hosting duties. He emphasized treating their companions with utmost respect, hinting at his intent to recruit them into the clan.
"Teacher Qin Ming, this is my residence" Tianlin said, leading them to a spacious courtyard with ample rooms to accommodate everyone.
"Which room is next to yours? I'll take that one" Ye Lingling said directly to Gu Ran.
Osler and Yufeng widened their eyes in disbelief "My goodness, when did you win over Ye Lingling?"
Embarrassed, Gu Ran realized how Tianlin had inadvertently created an ambiguous atmosphere between him and Ye Lingling.
A cheerful voice chimed in "Gu Ran's room? I know! Let me show you. It's right here."
The voice belonged to Ning Rongrong, sent by Ning Fengzhi to entertain the guests as the clan's future leader. She pointed to the room left of Tianlin's. Without hesitation Ye Lingling chose the room on the other side and entered "I'll stay here" she declared.
Tianlin smiled at Ning Rongrong and recognizing her clever matchmaking effort so no wonder Gu Ran often called her the "big sister" in the past.
Noticing his approval, Ning Rongrong proudly lifted her chin "See? I'm already looking out for the future of our clan's disciples. I'll definitely be a qualified clan head someday!"
