Beside the spacious and bright discussion hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, inside a luxurious dining room specifically used to receive distinguished guests.
A huge red sandalwood round table was currently covered with a dazzling array of delicacies.
Dishes emitting rich aromas were laid out on the table, accompanied by many nourishing soups brewed with expensive medicinal herbs, as well as the unique and precious spiritual fruits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The cost of this single table of feast, if placed in the outside World, would definitely be a huge sum that would leave ordinary Spirit Masters dumbfounded.
Looking at the sumptuous feast before them, Ning Tian and Wu Feng exchanged glances imperceptibly.
If it were eight months ago, before they had gone to that Sky Shrek Academy, they would have definitely found this standard of feast quite good, even considering it a rare and delicious tonic.
But!
After eating truly good things in the Sky Shrek Academy, looking at these so-called feasts in the Sect now, a sense of disparity immediately arose in both their hearts.
As expected, after eating truly top-tier items, these things could no longer be called a feast.
Compared to the top-tier, energy-rich ingredients provided for free every day in the Sky Shrek Academy's cafeteria, the meat and tonic soups before them were as bland and tasteless as plain water.
Of course, Ning Tian and Wu Feng did not show too much emotion on their faces, nor did they reveal any expression of disdain.
After all, they knew very well that the things in the Sky Shrek Academy were truly miracles that were hard to come by in ten thousand years! Where else in the entire continent was there a second school that could feed its students so well every day?
Moreover, this meal from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was indeed quite precious in the eyes of the outside World; it wasn't something that could be prepared every time.
There were many rare supplements inside, which School Master Ning had specifically ordered the kitchen to spare no expense in bringing out to welcome them back.
Ning Tian's gaze shifted slightly, glancing at Wu Siduo sitting beside her.
She saw Wu Siduo holding her chopsticks, dining quite normally. Her movements were elegant and composed, with no expression of disdain or pickiness on her face as she silently ate the food before her.
Seeing this scene, Ning Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that she doesn't mind.
Ning Tian had actually been a bit worried before that Wu Siduo would feel uncomfortable with the food in the Sect.
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious.
As the host, School Master Ning naturally began to take the initiative to find topics at the table.
His gaze swept over the three girls. With his sharp eyes, he naturally saw at a glance Wu Siduo's aloof personality—someone who kept others at a distance and didn't like to talk much.
Thus, School Master Ning very tactfully did not try to make small talk with Wu Siduo, but instead turned his gaze to Ning Tian and Wu Feng, asking the biggest question that had been suppressed in his heart since a moment ago.
"Tian'er, tell me."
School Master Ning put down his chopsticks and asked with a serious expression.
"After you dropped out of that Counterfeit Shrek Academy, how exactly did you find this Sky Shrek Academy and successfully join it?"
Hearing School Master Ning's inquiry, the Red Dragon Douluo Wu Long, who was nearby, also stopped drinking and pricked up his ears.
They were quite curious about this mysterious aerial academy.
Ning Tian put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corner of her mouth, and began to explain.
"Actually, at first, we didn't know this academy existed either."
Ning Tian recalled the scene at that time and said slowly.
"After Wu Feng and I dropped out, we were very lost and originally wanted to come back. Later, in a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, we happened to hear rumors about a Shrek Academy suspended thousands of meters in the sky."
"At that time, with the mindset that it was better to believe it might exist, we thought of trying our luck to find it. Unexpectedly, during the search, we were accidentally attacked by a powerful Spirit Beast."
Hearing this, both School Master Ning and Wu Long's hearts couldn't help but tighten.
"Just as we were in a desperate situation, we met a teacher from the Sky Shrek Academy. It was she who stepped in to save us."
A look of deep reverence and admiration flashed in Ning Tian's eyes.
"That teacher is my current mentor, Teacher Ye Zhi."
"By the way, Teacher Ye Zhi's Spirit is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
The moment they heard the five words 'Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda'!
School Master Ning and Wu Long were both stunned on the spot!
School Master Ning's eyes widened, staring fixedly at Ning Tian, his breathing becoming rapid in an instant.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!
In this World, besides Ning Tian who had just completed her evolution, there was actually a second person who possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!
School Master Ning's brain began to work frantically, countless thoughts intertwining in his mind like lightning.
Could it be... this teacher named Ye Zhi is some direct Bloodline of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who has been lost for many years?! Is she an illegitimate child or a secret branch of some previous Sect Master that even he, the current Sect Master, didn't know about?!
If that were truly the case, then it would be the ancestors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School showing their divine presence!
Looking at School Master Ning's ever-changing and even slightly excited expression, Ning Tian, as his daughter, naturally saw through her father's speculation at a glance.
Ning Tian shook her head somewhat helplessly, directly dousing School Master Ning's fantasy with a bucket of cold water.
"Father, don't make wild guesses."
"Although Teacher Ye Zhi possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, she has no relationship or involvement with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she is completely uninterested in our Sect's situation."
"When I saw Teacher Ye Zhi's Spirit back then, I immediately had the thick skin to pester her and beg her to let us join that Sky Shrek Academy. Fortunately, Teacher Ye Zhi didn't look down on us and arranged an assessment for us. We passed the assessment smoothly and thus successfully joined the academy."
When he heard this, a look of disappointment appeared in School Master Ning's eyes.
No involvement at all?
School Master Ning let out a long sigh in his heart.
If this Teacher Ye Zhi were truly someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who had been lost, for the sake of inviting a peerless powerhouse with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda back to the Sect to preside over it, he would even be willing to give up his position as Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on the spot!
However, the emotion of disappointment only stayed on School Master Ning's face for a moment.
As a Sect Master, his thinking was sharp, and he quickly reacted to something terrifyingly profound from Ning Tian's words!
"Wait! Tian'er, you just said..."
"Your teacher Ye Zhi, her Spirit is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! And she gave you a Qiluo Tulip in the academy, helping your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as well!"
"Doesn't that mean... inside that Sky Shrek Academy, that kind of Qiluo Tulip that is hard to come by in ten thousand years actually exists in at least two stalks?!"
In School Master Ning's understanding, an Immortal Herb like the Qiluo Tulip, which captures the creation of heaven and earth, would already be quite extraordinary if one could encounter even a single one.
As a result, that Sky Shrek Academy actually had two; it was truly enviable!
"Father, it's more than two."
Ning Tian explained seriously.
"In the Sky Shrek Academy, as long as your Contribution Points are sufficient, or you receive a teacher's recognition... you can have as many as you want."
"..."
After hearing these words, School Master Ning was completely stunned.
More than two?
As many as one wants?!
School Master Ning sat blankly on his chair, feeling as if his brain had stopped thinking.
At this moment, in School Master Ning's mind, an absurd image had involuntarily emerged!
All over the sky, Qiluo Tulips emitting brilliant golden light were flying around his head.
What kind of divine academy was this?!
School Master Ning was stunned for a full half-incense time.
Then he suddenly stood up from his chair, his hands pressing hard on the edge of the dining table, his eyes bloodshot.
"Tian'er!"
School Master Ning's voice cracked because of excitement.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... can we join as a whole Sect?!"
