Chapter 296: Xiao Ying subdues the secret guards, Ning Leshu arrives in Yun'an County
They are indeed not young anymore, one is over forty and the other is even fifty. If they want to enter the seventh level of Qi Refining, they must have the opportunity.
If you rely on yourself to hone your skills, you may not have a chance in this lifetime.
The sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining are a huge watershed. Many cultivators are stuck at this level for their entire lives, and they may not be the lucky ones.
"Why, do you have a solution?"
The older one sneered and mocked, while the other one stared at Xiao Ying expressionlessly.
Xiao Ying nodded and said kindly, "As long as you work for me, I can help you reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, and I can guarantee that it will not take more than a year."
"Tsk... Do you think we will believe it?"
The two of them sneered in unison, as if they were listening to a fairy tale. They didn't believe it at all and even thought that Xiao Ying was crazy.
If reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining was really that easy, would it be considered a watershed? I'm afraid the major families would have already cultivated a large number of them.
This woman is really good at talking nonsense and bragging. She has done everything she can to keep them.
Xiao Ying remained unmoved, his expression remaining calm. "Since you're here to investigate me, you should know I have a secret. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to cultivate so many new crops rich in spiritual energy in such a short time."
"If I can cultivate crops, I can naturally cultivate people. The person next to me who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining is the best proof of this."
Ling Yun raised his chin when his name was called.
What the master said is not entirely wrong. Only the master has the ability to restore him from the second level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining in such a short period of time.
The two secret guards looked at each other, and this time they did not refute immediately, but looked at Ling Yun suspiciously.
This person is indeed at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and Xiao Ying has indeed cultivated many new crops rich in spiritual energy. The young master also said that this person has a secret.
Maybe...her words have some credibility.
"Even so, we will not betray the Xia family!"
The older secret guard quickly regained his composure and reaffirmed his belief.
They were raised by the Xia family since childhood, and their current status depends on the Xia family. How could they easily betray the family because of such temptation?
Xiao Ying was not surprised at this. This was the difference between the secret guards and the killers of the Dark Night Pavilion.
If she was easily persuaded by her, she would not dare to use it.
After all, if he can easily surrender to her today, he can easily betray her tomorrow.
"It's okay, you still have plenty of time to think about it."
Xiao Ying was not in a hurry either. He waved his hands and quickly made two hand gestures like a butterfly flying through flowers.
She forced the two of them to sign a master-servant contract, which allowed her to control their life and death, and even know their every thought.
As the white light sank into the two men's eyebrows, the two secret guards couldn't help but look gloomy, and their hearts felt as heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on them.
This woman really understands contracts. No, she must not be able to see through my thoughts, otherwise the Xia family’s secret will be exposed.
Just as this thought flashed through their mind, they saw Xiao Ying revealing a strange smile. The two of them immediately stopped thinking and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The next moment, I suddenly felt dizzy. When I regained consciousness, I found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. I was in a completely unfamiliar place!
It was a not very spacious cave with dim light, and one could only vaguely see some large rocks inside.
There was a foul stench in the air, but what shocked the two was that the spiritual energy in this place was extremely rich, several times richer than the most important place for cultivation in the Xia family!
Before the two of them could take it in, they suddenly saw a white tiger with hanging eyes walking into the cave from the entrance, instantly blocking half of the light and making the cave even darker.
As the tiger approached, the two secret guards' hair stood on end and they both felt an extremely strong pressure.
It turned out to be a ferocious beast at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining!
"roar!"
The tiger roared, shaking the entire cave slightly. The two secret guards immediately became tense, with cold sweat on their foreheads and their faces looking extremely ugly.
What is this place? What just happened?
What was wrong with that woman? How could she send them to such a place in the blink of an eye?
The head of the family and the young master may have underestimated this woman's strength. This time, the Xia family may really be in trouble.
The two men were filled with mixed thoughts and were ready to attack, but the tiger stopped a few meters away.
In the end, it just stared at them with disgust for a while, then walked out wagging its tail.
It turned out that Xiao Ying sent them into the cave of one of the contracted beasts and ordered Baihu to keep an eye on them, so Baihu was reluctant to do so.
She just wanted to temper the tempers of these two people first. With Baihu watching over them, she believed they wouldn't be able to do anything weird.
When the two were sent to the Immortal Palace, the contract with the Xia family would be destroyed. She thought that the Xia family would make some movement in a few days.
However, Xiao Ying did not wait for the Xia family, but waited for Ning Leshu instead.
Ning Leshu finally arrived in Yun'an County after a long journey of half a month.
Compared with more than 30 years ago, this county town seems to have undergone considerable changes.
From a distance, the city wall stood tall and majestic, almost as high as Shangjing.
The city is clean and tidy inside and out, with shops lined up on both sides and pedestrians on the street smiling and full of energy.
Although the streets are a bit old and the pedestrians' clothes are not as luxurious as those in the capital, it is already quite good for a county town.
Her anxious and impatient heart was slightly comforted. It seemed that Yuanze managed the place very well.
Ning Yuanchen came to greet him personally and they moved into the county government office together.
The aunt and nephew met and exchanged some greetings. After that, Ning Leshu wanted to go to Chenjia Village to see her daughter, and she looked very impatient.
"My dear, you've been traveling so long. Why don't you take a break today? I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ning Yuanze advised gently.
I am mainly worried about Ning Leshu's health. After all, she is nearly fifty years old and I am afraid she can't handle it.
Ning Yuanchen also agreed with a smile: "After waiting for so long, there is no need to rush for another day. Let's have a good rest today."
"You two are right."
Ning Leshu smiled helplessly, it was because she was too impatient.
When I calmed down, I felt tired. My body is not as good as before.
"But, Yuanze, isn't it inappropriate for you to go with us?"
She was worried that Ning Yuanze, as the county magistrate, would be criticized for visiting like this, as there were many taboos in the officialdom.
Ning Yuanze smiled and said, "Don't worry, little aunt, I'm going there for something important."
"My cousin and Chenjia Village have made a great contribution to the resettlement of refugees this time. As the magistrate of Yun'an County, I should naturally go and commend them."
Ning Leshu suddenly understood and was very happy in her heart. Her Yingying was really amazing.
"And..." Ning Yuanze paused, his smile growing even brighter. "The head of Chenjia Village suggested a few days ago that we change the name of the village to my cousin's name."
"Oh?" Ning Leshu was surprised and asked curiously, "Why is that?"
