I can't even understand something, let alone improve it...

Rong Hongling had a complicated expression.

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked. At most, I was a little unconvinced, thinking that someone must have taught Ning Zhishui how to use those talisman arrays.

Now that I have asked this question, I am completely devastated because I can clearly feel how big the gap between the two is.

"How old are you?" Rong Hongling couldn't help but ask her.

"fourteen."

"...Is she really only fourteen? Did she not take some anti-aging pill?"

"……No."

Rong Hongling pursed her lips and stopped talking.

She felt like she had suffered ten thousand points of damage, and her chest was aching.

The other young masters also wanted to say something to Ning Zhishui, but after hearing the conversation between the two, they all fell silent.

It’s not that I don’t want to say it, I really don’t know what to say. I always feel like I’m asking for harm.

So the front hall fell into a strange silence, with only the sound of Shan Mo drinking tea.

The silence in the room was finally broken by the arrival of two seniors.

"My disciple and I won't stay here for long. We'll come to see you and reminisce when we have time." Chang Yin said to the Valley Master.

"Okay, Lei Yu, send these two out." The Valley Master nodded and looked at a person next to him who seemed to be in charge.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Ning Zhishui and Chang Yin got on the carriage, and the steward personally drove them away.

In the car, Ning Zhishui took the initiative to tell Chang Yin about his situation.

"I'm from Huying City. I have parents and an older brother..." He first introduced the basic situation, and then said, "Master, please forgive me. Zhishui will need to stay at home for a while. Only after the matters at hand are settled can he follow you."

Ning Zhishui couldn't ignore the worrying ending of his family.

And as for the Blue Ning Fruit, she wished she could give it to her father right now and let him take it.

Only after his family is settled can Ning Zhishui join the sect and practice well.

"In that case, then go and do your thing." Although Chang Yin felt a little sorry that he couldn't start guiding his disciples in their cultivation right away, he also understood. "When you're done, come find me at Xianlai Sect."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Ning Zhishui laughed.

Chang Yin was overjoyed when he learned that his disciple was only fourteen years old this year, and had taught himself everything from refining equipment to talisman formations.

With the blessing of heaven, such an outstanding disciple unexpectedly appeared from the sky!

He was now eager to teach her everything he had learned in his life and see how far she could go.

"Here, take these."

Chang Yin suddenly thought of something and took out a stack of crystal tickets. "Keep these crystals. You should really need them right now. Use them to do what you need to do."

The denominations of crystal tickets vary, the largest is ten thousand and the smallest is one hundred.

Such a thick stack, probably no less than what the Lord of Haomiao Valley gave me!

Ning Zhishui looked at the crystals and thought, "Master, did you hear anything outside the study just now?"

"Huh? What did you hear?"

Chang Yin froze for a moment, then his eyes rolled around and looked at the wall of the carriage, as if a flower had suddenly grown on it.

Ning Zhishui smiled and said, "It seems that he heard it."

"...I don't know what nonsense you are talking about, little girl. Isn't it only natural for a master to give crystals to his disciple?" Chang Yin said in a rough voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but I don't need more at the moment. If I need anything, I will ask you." Ning Zhishui was touched, but he couldn't accept these crystals.

It's really ugly to eat while taking things away.

The 200,000 crystals from the Valley Master are definitely enough in the short term.

That is a fortune that an ordinary cultivator would find difficult to earn in a hundred years!

If even these crystals cannot help the Ning family gain power, then it can only be said that the Ning family is useless and it is useless to help them.

"Are you being so distant with me?" Chang Yin frowned. "You can take Hao Miao's, so why can't you take mine?"

"It's not that I'm being polite. It's precisely because Master is one of our own that I want Master to look up to me." Ning Zhishui shook his head and pushed the crystal ticket over. "Master, believe me, I won't be polite to you if I really need you."

Chang Yin looked at her carefully, and after seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he hummed, "Well, remember to speak when it's time."

"must."

After a while, Chang Yin's sound transmission note moved.

He frowned, "The Sect Master has summoned me. I need to return to the sect quickly. Disciple, I'll take you to the teleportation array in a moment. How about you go back on your own?"

"good."

When the carriage arrived at the teleportation hall of Niluo City, Chang Yin handed Ning Zhishui a few jade slips and a Huachun Pill.

"The jade slips contain many methods for refining weapons, as well as some of my experience and insights. Remember to read them when you have time, and don't let your skills become rusty. Also, keep this bottle of Huachun Pill. No matter how serious your injuries are, as long as you still have a breath, taking this pill will save your life."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Ning Zhishui did not refuse his kindness this time.

After watching her master leave, she turned and entered the teleportation hall.

Just like the previous journey, Ning Zhishui first went from Niluo City to Qiu Shuang City, and then from Qiu Shuang City to Hu Ying City.

The monks they met along the way were all in a hurry, looking straight ahead. Although Ning Zhishui was traveling alone at such an old age, he did not attract much attention.

It was actually quite safe to just move between cities. The real dangers lay in the wilderness outside the cities, or in some training grounds.

In those places, there are no city lord rules to bind them, and everything is based on strength. Killing people, stealing treasures, and using dirty tricks are very common, and the monks are not surprised by this.

As soon as he entered Huying City, Ning Zhishui relaxed.

Although every city is safe, it is still particularly reassuring to be at home. Even if you are not home, just thinking that your family is close by will make you feel extremely relieved.

It was also at this moment that she faintly smelled a fragrance.

"What a strong smell of wine, where does it come from?"

She heard passersby asking.

This was exactly what Ning Zhishui was curious about, so he slowed down his pace and listened attentively.

"This is the new wine from Xiangmanju, called Xianzhu Wine. It is said that drinking a glass can increase your cultivation by one month!" another passerby answered.

"Really? Tsk, how expensive would that be?"

"It's quite expensive, over a thousand crystals."

"Forget it, it's something I can't afford to drink."

"We can't afford it, but there are people who can! The dignitaries in the city have been alarmed. You didn't see how many servants were queuing up there to buy it! But the quantity is small, so not everyone can afford it."

Ning Zhishui's expression suddenly changed when he heard what they said.

Now is the time for the Immortal Bamboo Wine to appear!

She remembered something very important, and this thing happened during this time period!
