Chapter 425 A Land of Blessed Lands, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School

Once outside the town, Chen Ping was greeted by a vast valley.

The valley is shaped like a giant wine vessel, low in the middle and high on both sides.

The valley is a basin that was squeezed and then uplifted by the collision of tectonic plates. Although it is surrounded by mountains and its terrain is relatively low compared to the surrounding mountain ranges, its overall elevation is still relatively high.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately realized that there were indeed highly skilled individuals within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Even someone like him, who only has a superficial understanding of feng shui, can see the wonder of this natural terrain.

The valley is low in the middle and high on both sides, surrounded by mountains on all sides but at a high altitude. In feng shui, this is a standard Tianchi (Heavenly Pool) site, or a Jinpen (Golden Basin) site.

Feng shui emphasizes "concealing wind and gathering energy". This kind of terrain, surrounded by mountains on all sides, can conceal energy, while the low-lying area in the middle can gather energy, making it a natural place where energy gathers.

Furthermore, the entrance to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School is located in the southeast, which is even more auspicious. It is a top-tier feng shui site that can be described as a "golden goblet receiving dew," bringing endless benefits and symbolizing good fortune, wealth accumulation, and the gathering of auspicious energy.

Furthermore, the entire valley is not a standard basin, but rather has a shape that is low in the middle and high on both sides, which is a typical "four-element" terrain.

With the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, the two great guardians stand to the left and right. The Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise serve as an opening and a solid backing, providing natural defenses.

The overall high altitude avoids the "sinking evil" common in low-lying basins, and also has the advantage of "gathering qi" in low-lying areas, making it a first-class treasure land whether it is a site for building a city, a house, or even a mausoleum.

The three of them climbed the mountain path, the stone steps with their green bricks and blue tiles bearing the marks of time. Because it had just rained, water had accumulated on the stone slabs, and there were many small bright spots in the view, adding a touch of coolness to the scene.

As Chen Ping stepped into the valley from the southeast entrance, his eyes lit up.

Within the valley, lotus-shaped eaves hang down, painted beams and carved pillars stand tall, with soaring eaves and towering buildings, as if a small town were hidden there.

From a distance, the area appears as a vast complex of buildings, shrouded in mist and dotted with kilns. If one were not looking down from a high vantage point, it would seem as if the entire complex stretched as far as the eye could see, covering at least three thousand acres, larger than the university Chen Ping had lived in his previous life.

Chen Ping turned his head and looked at a stele to the left of the mountain gate at the entrance of the valley. On the stele were ten powerful characters: "A blessed land where a hundred rivers flow, a sect of nine treasures and glazed tiles".

"Ah, I'm finally almost home."

Wu Feng stretched lazily, and Chen Ping subconsciously looked at Wu Feng, only to see that Wu Feng's clothes couldn't cover his entire body because of the stretching, and his navel was accidentally exposed.

"Hey, what are you looking at?!"

Somewhat puzzled, Wu Feng looked down following Chen Ping's gaze, only to find her proud breasts blocking her view. Unaware that Chen Ping had subtly taken advantage of her, she was unaware that he had already subtly taken advantage of her.

It wasn't until Ning Tian, ​​an observer with a clear perspective, couldn't help but chuckle to himself for a while, and a cold wind blew, making Wu Feng's navel feel chilly, that Wu Feng belatedly realized he wanted to jump up and strangle Chen Ping.

"Alright, alright, we're already at your doorstep, give me, your guest, some face."

Chen Ping laughed and begged for mercy, "I didn't go to look on purpose. Besides, what's so interesting about a belly button? It's not like I'd take a little brush and scrub it for you." The second half of Chen Ping's words would have been better left unsaid, because in Wu Feng's ears, it sounded like he was taking advantage and then acting innocent. He activated his dragon form and chased after Chen Ping, ready to fight him for three hundred rounds.

The three of them played and joked around at the mountain gate, running and chasing each other all the way, before finally arriving at the main gate of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was a full five zhang tall.

As Chen Ping approached the door, he subconsciously glanced at the various soul tools embedded inside the building and couldn't help but marvel at how up-to-date the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School truly was. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed almost all the testing equipment used during the Star Luo Empire's competition.

In addition, there was the clearly reinforced mountain outpost he saw as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, with its well-equipped patrolling soul masters, both overt and covert.

If any foolish force were to attempt to attack the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's stronghold, they would likely suffer a crushing defeat, learning just how strong the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's defenses truly are after the lesson learned ten thousand years ago.

Just when Chen Ping thought Ning Tian would knock on the door, and then a lot of people would come out to say something like "Welcome back to the sect, ladies," Ning Tian took out the Young Sect Master's token that Chen Ping had already returned to her and swiped it on the bronze lion door knocker.

With a click, the gate, which was five zhang tall, slowly closed into the door frames on both sides.

So, is this Young Sect Master's Token some kind of key?
Chen Ping was both amused and exasperated by what he saw.

You say the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School is advanced, but everything here is basically made of wood and bluestone, unlike the high-rise buildings that are everywhere in Mingdu.

But if you say that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is stuck in the past, the soul guidance gate in front of us, which is clearly quite modern, and the soul guidance devices that are perfectly integrated with other buildings, would be the first to disagree.

This can only be described as the foundation of a sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Many things look ordinary and commonplace, but they actually contain profound secrets.

Although the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School is known as the wealthiest in the world, what Chen Ping saw along the way did not give off that explosive feeling of piled-up gold and jade. Instead, every step revealed a unique and wonderful scene, which was in stark contrast to the auction houses and treasure pavilions of various countries.

“Chen Ping, you’ll have to walk from here. Our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School’s corridors are divided into men’s and women’s paths, and they lead to different locations. The East Courtyard is where you men walk more, while the West Courtyard is where we girls are.”

"Wu Feng and I will go to the West Garden first to tell Dad and Uncle Wu that you can wander around the East Garden by yourself while I notify some sect disciples to come and guide you. Alternatively, you can walk along the Nine-Bend Welcoming Corridor. We'll head ahead now."

As they spoke, Ning Tian and Wu Feng walked toward the so-called welcoming corridor, then turned a few corners and entered the western part of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Seeing this, Chen Ping was not surprised; on the contrary, he nodded inwardly.

Just as the fact that Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber could mingle freely within the inner circle of the Jia family represented the decline of the Jia family's reputation and the lack of strict rules.

Upon entering the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the separate male and female academies made the management of the sect much easier, preventing any trouble from arising unnoticed. It was indeed a rule only found in high-ranking and wealthy families.

In fact, this is not a rule unique to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Just think about when Tang San first returned to the sect in the original novel 10,000 years ago, and the Haotian Sect, which only had men of all ages, you can understand that unless there were no women in the Haotian Sect at all, the Haotian Sect itself should have had similar separation.
