Chapter 123 Ascension
The ascension thunder tribulation is different from ordinary thunder tribulations. It will take at least ten days or half a month to end.
Ning Xu had originally planned to watch and learn from the sidelines during this period of time, but she didn't expect that on the second day after the previous owner encountered the thunder tribulation of ascension, she received an invitation for a meeting from the Lord of Tiancheng.
The other party couldn't contact her, so they could only ask the manager of Laurel Building to pass on the message.
Ning Xu was surprised but not surprised to hear that the city lord had made an appointment.
Mingyue Tower has always been the largest taxpayer in Tiancheng. Now that Mingyue Tower has a new owner, it is normal for the other party to want to meet her.
The two parties agreed to meet at the largest restaurant in the city the next afternoon. Coincidentally, the place where they met happened to be the room where Ning Xu met the previous owner of the post.
After deciding to go to the appointment, Ning Shu thought it would be better to get to know the city lord beforehand. If she knew his weaknesses and preferences, she would not be at a disadvantage when the time comes.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Laurel Tower will exist in Tiancheng for another three thousand years. It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and the Lord of Tiancheng is the strongest local snake in Tiancheng. The city lord has been running Tiancheng for many years. He has extensive connections and a strong background. In Tiancheng, he can be said to be a man who can cover the sky with one hand.
Ning Xu knew his ability to cause trouble. Others can't do anything to her, and there's no guarantee that they won't target the employees of Laurel Building. Protecting the safety of employees is also the responsibility of the landlord.
If we can get through to the city lord, then all problems will be solved. The City Lord's Mansion will be the strongest backer of Laurel Tower.
Ning Xu discussed with the melon-eating system for a long time. After confirming that there would be no problems with tomorrow's meeting, she turned her attention back to the previous host.
Time passed quickly, and in almost the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Ning Xu said something to Jianxian, saying that she had to leave for a while because of something.
After a moment's hesitation, the Sword Immortal asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Ning Xu was about to refuse, but she saw the old ox looking at her with longing.
The melon-eating system laughed, "I can see that this old ox has an honest face, but he is actually not at all restless. It goes wherever there is excitement. 】
Ning Xu didn't have a bad impression of the old ox, probably because it looked so honest. Although she knew very well that it was a ferocious beast under its skin and that its simplicity was just a disguise, she still could not be wary of it. When she goes back three thousand years later, she will no longer see this old ox who loves to join in the fun.
Because three thousand years later, it is still just an unhatched egg.
The time they spend together has already entered the countdown. They won't be together much longer.
Thinking of this, Ning Xu could no longer say no.
She said, "I'm going to see the city lord. If you want to go together, then go together."
-
As soon as Ning Xu arrived at the designated meeting place, she saw the city lord who was greeting her at the door, as well as his staff standing beside him.
The city lord has white hair and black eyes, and looks to be in his early twenties, but Ning Xu learned from the melon-eating system that he is more than 600 years old and has succeeded the position of city lord for more than 400 years. Even though he looks like a cool young man, he is actually a powerful man who has been in a high position for a long time.
However, this powerful man who had held a high position for a long time was particularly friendly to her.
He greeted her warmly, "Seeing is believing. I didn't expect the owner of Yueguilou Tower to be so young. He is really young and promising."
Ning Xu said politely, "You are too kind, City Lord."
The city lord raised his lips slightly, "How can it be an exaggeration?" After that, he looked at the sword fairy beside Ning Xu and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Si would also come. What wind blew today to bring you here?"
The swordsman was as concise as ever, "I came here with her."
The city lord looked a little surprised, but the surprise was fleeting, and he warmly welcomed the two of them in.
"sit."
After Ning Xu and Si Zang sat down, the city lord's staff served them hot tea and snacks.
Ning Shu didn't expect that the person doing this job would be the city lord's staff, so he stood up and took the tea.
The city lord's aide looked at her with a smile, and after serving her tea, he went back to stand behind the city lord.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were those of a few people quietly drinking tea.
Ning Xu took a sip, put the teacup down, and said, "Good tea."
The city lord showed her his kindness and said, "If you like it, you can take some back later."
Ning Shu accepted his kindness and said, "Then I would like to thank the city lord first."
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Ning Xu knew that the highlight of the day was about to begin.
Sure enough, right after the topic of tea was over, the city lord took the initiative to bring up the topic, "I wonder what the relationship is between the host and the previous host? I have known her for many years, but I have never heard her mention you."
Ning Xu smiled faintly, "I have only known the previous owner for a few days."
A few days?
The city lord probed, "Can she hand over Mingyue Tower to you in a few days?"
Over the years, many people have spread the word that they want to buy Mingyue Tower from the previous owner. Some even came directly to him and were willing to pay a large price to take over Mingyue Tower, but in the end they were all rejected by the previous owner.
She once said that even if one day she could no longer be the owner of Mingyue Tower, she would not just find someone to take over the position.
If she can't find the destined person, she would rather let Mingyue Tower close down.
From this we can see that the owner of Mingyue Tower has his own code of conduct and standards for identifying people.
Ning Shu looked at the rising smoke and replied, "The previous owner and I hit it off right away."
The city lord and his staff all had a look of laughter on their faces.
A young cultivator in his early twenties who had just entered the world of cultivation for a few years, and an old cultivator who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, hit it off at first sight?
The city lord half-jokingly and half-seriously asked, "I wonder if you feel like we've known each other since you saw me?"
The city lord has some plans for Ning Xu, and Ning Xu also has some plans for the city lord. After hearing this question, she naturally said, "Of course I do."
The city lord and his staff all smiled with satisfaction.
Both sides are willing to show goodwill, and the subsequent talks should go more smoothly.
Ning Xu did not keep the secret and said directly, "I have a shallow foundation in Tiancheng. Although I took over Mingyue Tower from the previous owner, I used her original team. I am weak in Tiancheng. If someone wants to cause trouble for Yuegui Tower..."
Ning Xu did not continue to say the rest. The City Lord knew what he meant and continued with a smile, "Why should we worry? The entire Tiancheng is under the control of our Ji family. The previous owner contributed such a large amount of tax revenue to Tiancheng every year. The new owner will surely be better than the old one. Keeping Yuegui Building safe and stable is also one of the responsibilities of the City Lord's Mansion."
Ning Xu smiled easily, "I feel relieved with the city lord's words. I hope you can give me more guidance in the next few thousand years."
Hearing this, the smile on the city lord's face deepened.
What does this mean? This means that the Ji family will still be the overlord of Tiancheng in the next few thousand years.
Although he was happy, the city lord did not forget the main purpose of his visit to Ning Xu today.
He smiled and said, "Sister, to be honest, I am very curious about the previous owner's ascension thunder tribulation. I wonder if you can help me solve this puzzle?"
The melon-eating system clicked its tongue twice, [Just now I called you the host, but now I call you the virtuous sister. Do you have to be so realistic? 】
Ning Xu made a gesture and said calmly, "What does the city lord want to know?"
The city lord looked at her seriously, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on her face. He asked word by word, "She was able to take the initiative to face the ascension thunder tribulation. Is it related to you?"
After she finished speaking, even the city lord's staff and the sword master looked at her tacitly.
The staff was excited and nervous, but the sword master simply wanted to look at her.
Ning Xu smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he answered the question irrelevantly, "The ancestors of the Ji family once had a Hundred Flowers Colored Glass Lamp. If we can find the Hundred Flowers Colored Glass Lamp, perhaps we can produce an Ascendant."
Hearing this, the city lord paused for breath and asked impatiently, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp?"
Ning Xu nodded, "I know." Just when the city lord wanted to ask more, Ning Xu said slowly, "The time is not right yet, please wait."
-
When leaving the restaurant, Ning Xu seemed to still feel the city lord's burning gaze.
Melon-eating system, [This carrot is good. It can keep the Ji family hanging and make them willingly wait for their next meeting with you. For the next three thousand years, there is no need to worry about the safety of Laurel Tower. 】
Because the City Lord's Mansion will guard the Laurel Tower for Ning Shu.
Even if Ning Shu himself was not there, there would not be any problem at all. They can trust the strength of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ning Xu said in a deep voice, "In the next three thousand years, there will be no Ascendants. In other words, even if the Ji family wants to produce an Ascendant, they will have to wait three thousand years."
Melon-eating system, [At present, it seems that the city lord does not have the destiny to ascend to heaven, but it is hard to say. You just revealed to him a little information he wanted. Perhaps, his fate will change? 】
[After all, he is still alive three thousand years later.] 】
[Without some chance, you really wouldn't live that long.] 】
Ning Xu, "..."
"Will he still be guarding Laurel Tower three thousand years later?"
[Yes, but by then he had already retreated to the second line. 】
[His eighteenth generation descendant became the Lord of Tiancheng, and is still working diligently to protect the Laurel Tower. 】
Maybe it’s because Ning Xu became the owner of Laurel Tower, so the melon-eating system unlocked more information related to Laurel Tower.
Ning Xu, "..." I felt inexplicably touched. What was going on?
Unexpectedly, the city lord was so trustworthy that he kept his promise for three thousand years. Even when he grew old, he did not forget to pass on this important responsibility to his descendants.
The bombshell news she had just revealed to him was worth every penny.
It had been more than half a day since she left the previous owner's place of tribulation. She looked at the sword fairy beside her and said, "Let's go back."
Sword Immortal, "Yeah."
Although I was away for a while, it wasn't a big problem.
Those who have the opportunity, even if they just watch for a short while, can learn a lot from this tribulation.
Those who don’t have the chance may gain nothing even if they watch from beginning to end.
Ultimately, it all depends on one's understanding and luck.
-
Ten days passed in a flash.
Soon, the former OP encountered the last two thunderbolts.
The last two thunders looked fierce and menacing, and they came with ill intentions, putting pressure on the onlookers.
Those with low cultivation base could no longer withstand the pressure of the thunder and fled to further away as soon as possible.
Those who could stay and continue watching had already achieved some level of cultivation.
Ning Xu asked, "Gua, do you think she can succeed?"
The melon-eating system, [Host, I told you before, in the history of the cultivation world, there have been only three people who succeeded in ascending, and after them, no one else has succeeded in ascending. 】
The monks all have good memories, and Ning Xu indeed remembers everything that the melon-eating system said.
Ning Xu asked, "Then she..."
[And she just happened to be the last person to successfully ascend. In the three thousand years after her, no one else succeeded in ascending! 】
After saying that, the melon-eating system laughed arrogantly, [There are only three people who have successfully ascended, and one of them was able to ascend thanks to you, my host, Taiku La! 】
Ning Xu:! ! !
This is really Thai pants.
At the moment when the melon-eating system finished speaking, the former OP successfully survived the thunder tribulation of ascension just as it said, and welcomed the ascension passage filled with golden light!
After the ascension channel appeared, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped. The thunder that was so fierce and seemed to be life-threatening just now had completely disappeared. Within the sight, the cultivators could only notice the conspicuous ascension channel.
For a moment, the desolate mountains and wilderness filled with high-level monks were as bustling as a vegetable market.
"She succeeded? She actually succeeded?"
"Is this true? It's been years since anyone in the cultivation world has successfully ascended to heaven, and now I see one?"
"We are witnessing history, brothers!"
"Although I wasn't the one who ascended, why am I so moved? I want to pee my eyes."
The Lord of Tiancheng and his staff were also present.
After seeing this beam of light that symbolized the successful ascension to heaven, even the city lord was a little out of control.
"She... ascended. She really ascended!"
From then on, there was a world of difference between their identities.
The aide wiped his eyes emotionally. He swore, "City Lord, although the new building owner did not say it directly, I have a hunch that the previous building owner's success in ascending was all thanks to her."
The city lord did not say anything, he knew that his staff's intuition was extremely accurate.
This intuition has helped them avoid many difficulties and also brought them many opportunities.
"City Lord, she has pointed out the direction for you. As long as you find the Hundred Flowers Glazed Lamp, you will have the opportunity to ascend!"
"As long as we build a good relationship with her, I think this day will come sooner or later."
The city lord stared at the ascension passage. Hearing this, he said word for word, "I believe what you said, sir."
"Don't worry, sir. As long as I am here, Laurel Tower will remain safely in Celestial City."
-
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the former owner of the building walked firmly and calmly into the ascension passage.
The moment she entered the ascension channel, her severe injuries were instantly healed.
She did not forget the agreement with Ning Xu.
So as soon as she entered the passage, she decided to fulfill the contract immediately and send Ning Xu a ray of primordial energy.
However, there were too many monks here, and she quickly came up with an idea.
-
In the distance, monks kept rushing here frantically. The area around Tiancheng was almost surrounded by monks from all walks of life.
Under the gaze of countless monks, they unexpectedly discovered that a thick fog had risen near the ascension channel?
The thick fog came suddenly and without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Just when they were wondering where the thick fog came from, a golden light suddenly shot out from the ascension passage. This golden light appeared suddenly and disappeared even more suddenly, as if it disappeared into the crowd in an instant. Before they could react, it was gone.
After seeing this golden light, some low-level cultivators were puzzled and asked, "What was that golden light just now?"
"Yeah, it looks pretty impressive, could it be some treasure?"
"Someone ascended to heaven and dropped a treasure? What treasure is it?"
When a knowledgeable cultivator saw the golden light, he exclaimed, "Hongmeng Qi!"
"It's the energy of Hongmeng!"
After hearing these words, some low-level cultivators finally realized what the golden light was.
They had a flash of inspiration and realized something belatedly.
The previous OP who had just successfully ascended to heaven, she should, maybe, probably gave a ray of primordial energy to some lucky person present?
So, the question is, who is this lucky person who obtained the Hongmeng Qi? !
Why can he obtain this ray of primordial energy?
They envy the powerful people who ascend to heaven, but they are not too jealous.
But after learning that someone had been gifted with a primordial energy by a powerful being, they became so jealous that they almost went crazy.
