Chapter 318 The old man cheats

After saying goodbye to Feng Jingshan, Ning Daoran returned to his room, feeling a little uneasy.

"Junior Brother Ning."

At this time, the voice of Xu Baisheng, the chief disciple of Tianji Peak, came from outside.

"Senior Brother Xu."

Ning Daoran opened the door, welcomed Xu Baisheng into the hall, and made tea for the guest.

"I hope my late-night visit does not disturb Junior Brother Ning's practice?" Xu Baisheng smiled elegantly.

"No."

Ning Daoran said, "I just don't know why Senior Brother came to visit so late at night?"

“Just little things.”

Xu Baisheng raised his hand and set up several restrictions in the room. He said, "Brother, I came here to warn you something. You are new to Tianji Peak, so you must be confused for a long time and don't know what's going on."

As he spoke, he patted his storage bag, took out a jade bottle and presented it to him, saying: "This bottle contains two True Blood Pills. Although this True Blood Pill is a medicine for blood-qi warriors, people like us who practice the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art also consume a lot of blood and qi. Taking this True Blood Pill will be of great benefit to practicing the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art. I hope you won't dislike it."

The price of a True Blood Pill is as high as five or six hundred spirit stones, so Xu Baisheng’s gift is quite generous.

"Senior Brother Xu..."

Ning Daoran gladly accepted the True Blood Pill and said, "I entered the Lieyang Dao Palace just to practice the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art. Brother Ning Cheng will definitely remember what you said!"

"Junior brother, I have another meaning."

Xu Baisheng cast a meaningful look at him and said, "Although Master has taught you the Evergreen Return to Origin Technique, there is no need for you to spend most of your time on this technique. Because the cause and effect involved after practicing the Evergreen Return to Origin Technique to the fifth level has nothing to do with Junior Brother Ning, so why should you involve yourself?"

He transmitted his voice: "If Junior Brother Ning is really eager to get the sixth chapter, when I get the sixth chapter one day, I will definitely copy a copy for you. I will never break my promise!"

“…”

Ning Daoran was confused. He understood what the senior brother meant. He was hinting that he should practice the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Art more and not practice the Evergreen Return to Origin Art. But why?

"I understand..."

Ning Daoran nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Xu. The Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art is my foundational technique. I will definitely spend most of my efforts on this technique. As for the Evergreen Return to Origin Art, I will just go with the flow. I am not very talented myself. I am afraid that the Deputy Palace Master will be disappointed by the profoundness of the Evergreen Return to Origin Art."

"Okay! In that case, I will not disturb you in your practice and will leave now!"

Xu Baisheng left in a hurry, and Ning Daoran was filled with mystery.

…

After a while, the sound was heard outside again.

"Is Junior Brother Ning here? I am your second Senior Brother Meng Yuliang. This is Junior Brother Ning's first day at Jingxin Villa. I have nothing to do, so I came here to chat with Junior Brother. Is it okay to get closer to him?"

"Second Brother, please come in."

Ning Daoran invited Meng Yuliang into the living room and served him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Junior brother."

Meng Yuliang sat in a chair with his arms and legs spread out, and said with a smile, "It's your first day living in Jingxin Villa. Are you used to it?"

"It's okay. Thank you for your concern, Second Brother."

"Hmph~~"

Meng Yuliang said with a smile, "Junior Brother Ning is really lucky. Just because you participated in killing a second-stage mid-stage demon bird, you were appreciated by the master, and the master allowed you to participate in the trial that the master has been preparing for many years. If you pass the trial, you can even get the sixth chapter. It can be said that you are soaring to the sky, and nothing can stop you..."

"Brother Meng, you are too kind."

Ning Daoran said, "I just had better luck. Besides, I am not very talented. Although the deputy palace master has given me this opportunity, I may not be able to grasp it. The Evergreen Return to Origin Art is so profound and mysterious. How can I, a mere person in the initial stage of foundation building, understand it?"

"Junior brother, you are too modest."

Meng Yuliang narrowed his eyes. "How can someone who can cultivate the Changqing Jue to the sixth level at such a young age be a dull person? However, this Changqing Guiyuan Jue involves a lot of benefits and disadvantages. If Junior Brother Ning is a smart person, he really shouldn't get too involved, lest he be burdened by this matter, which would be more trouble than gain."

There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "After all, Junior Brother Ning doesn't belong here. If someone who doesn't belong to Jingxin Villa wants to take things from Jingxin Villa, he may not be able to keep them even if he gets them. Junior Brother Ning is a smart man, you must understand what Second Senior Brother means."

"Understand."

Ning Daoran has been practicing for hundreds of years. He is such an experienced person that he was not angry at all when facing such a threat. He just smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Meng. Ning Cheng will keep it in mind."

"good!"

Meng Yuliang stood up and said, "In that case, Senior Brother will not disturb me from my practice. I will take my leave now."

"Farewell, Senior Brother!"

Meng Yuliang put his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and walked out of the hall while saying with a smile: "Our Jingxin Villa is not peaceful at all~~~"

…

Ning Daoran closed the door with a flick of his sleeves, then leaned back in the recliner and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door.

"Is Junior Brother Ning here? I'm Fu Yan. I just moved into Jingxin Villa today, so I'm here to welcome you."

"oh?"

Ning Daoran opened the door immediately and saw Fu Yan holding a jar of wine in his right hand and a few braised side dishes in his left hand.

"Junior brother, you're welcome."

Fu Yan raised his hand and cast a ban, filling the table with delicious food, then poured wine and said, "The eldest and second brothers have both been here, so I guess they don't have anything good to say, right?"

"this……"

Ning Daoran didn't know how to answer.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Junior brother, don't worry too much."

Fu Yan laughed at himself, "Big Brother is Master's first disciple, and is the future successor of Lieyang Dao Palace. Second Brother is extremely talented, and has a first-grade spiritual root, so he is highly trusted by Master. This time, the trial of the Changqing Guiyuan Jue involves the sixth chapter, and Junior Brother Ning should also know the pros and cons of it. Whoever gets the sixth chapter will most likely be the successor of my Lieyang Dao Palace.

And just as you have seen, I, Fu Yan, am ranked third in Tianji Peak. I am not as experienced as my eldest brother, nor as talented as my second brother. I am just slightly better than the inner disciples. I am not as good as the best but better than the worst. I am definitely not destined to inherit the Dao Palace, so..."

He smiled meaningfully and said, "My junior brother and I share the same pain. I am just a runner-up in this trial."

Ning Daoran was immediately relieved: "Senior Brother Fu is so quick to speak, I admire you. In that case, let's drink this cup!"

“As it should be!”

Fu Yan smiled heartily and drank the bowl of wine in one gulp.

After a few bowls of wine, Fu Yan couldn't hold back his words and said, "I also heard what Second Senior Brother said just now. He said that Jingxin Villa is not Jingxin at all. He is right. Especially in the past few years, the Palace Master, Uncle Master, has been in seclusion for many years and no longer takes care of the affairs of the Taoist Palace. Master is not the Palace Master but is better than the Palace Master. The Tianji Peak has gradually surpassed Chiyang Peak and become the first main peak in the Taoist Palace."

He frowned, "The competition between the eldest and second senior brothers for the first disciple of the inheritance is also getting more and more intense. It is no longer the same as before. Back then, the four of us were so happy practicing on Tianji Peak. Although the master was strict, he taught the three of us carefully. Even when the brothers and sisters had grudges and fought with other peaks, they always advanced and retreated together. It's not like now..."

Fu Yan seemed to have endless grievances to pour out, and he talked more and more.

"Brother Fu."

Ning Daoran's gaze quietly swept across the windowsill, where a small gray insect was lying, with a very strong spirituality.

The Dixin insect is ranked 169th on the Ten Thousand Insects List. After being tamed and refined, it can listen to other people's conversations on behalf of its owner. It is said that when the Dixin insect grows to its full form, it can even hear the voice transmissions of others.

This Di Xin insect has no breath at all and is extremely difficult to detect. If Ning Daoran did not possess the Cang Tong technique, he would probably not have discovered it. And there is naturally only one person who can release the Di Xin insect so unscrupulously to eavesdrop on people in Jingxin Villa.

Perhaps the conversation between Xu Baisheng and Meng Yuliang just now was heard word for word by the Dixin insect.

"Senior Brother Fu is right."

Ning Daoran said, "However, time flies. Although we are immortal cultivators, how can we stay in the past forever? I, Ning Cheng, am certainly not qualified for the dispute over the inheritance of Tianji Peak, and I don't want to get involved in the dispute. It's just that the deputy palace master appreciates Ning Cheng and gave me this opportunity. I will definitely try my best to grasp it. Even if I can't cultivate the Changqing Guiyuan Jue to the fifth level, I will definitely do my best."

"Yes, Junior Brother Ning, what you said is very insightful."

Fu Yan smiled and said, "Brother, you are adding unnecessary details. Just for this sentence, you and I have to clarify everything!"

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right!"

So they drank until late at night, and Fu Yan left drunkenly.

Ning Daoran closed the door and saw the Dixin insect flapping its wings, turning into a gray light, leaving the windowsill and returning to the main house. Ning Daoran naturally did not dare to release his golden elixir consciousness to follow it, so he ignored it.

So, he stayed in Jingxin Villa, ostensibly practicing the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Art and the Evergreen Return to Origin Art, but in fact he continued to practice the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra in the Refined Time Mode to further consolidate his physical foundation.

…

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Ning Daoran had been practicing in Jingxin Villa for two years.

Within two years, his realm of Changqing Guiyuan Jue changed along with Xu Baisheng and Meng Yuliang. After the two of them had successively cultivated Changqing Guiyuan Jue to the third level, Ning Daoran also raised this technique to the third level, one step faster than Fu Yan.

That night, Feng Yinghai summoned the four people to the main hall to test their cultivation foundation.

Xu Baisheng and Meng Yuliang passed the test one after another, and both were at the third level of the Changqing Guiyuan Jue. Among them, Xu Baisheng's foundation was deeper, and he exuded an evergreen and invincible temperament.

"Ning Cheng, it's your turn."

Feng Yinghai walked forward, raised two fingers and pressed them on Ning Daoran's pulse. The next moment, Nascent Soul magic power surged in, and he began to test the aura of Changqing Guiyuan Jue.

Ning Daoran relaxed his mind and let Feng Yinghai investigate the details. Anyway, he had the Acalanatha secret to cover it up, so there would be no problem at all.

However, in the next second, Feng Yinghai's eyes suddenly became fierce, and a Yuanying figure appeared above his head, and he actually released a Yuanshen and rushed into Ning Daoran's soul world! Not good, the old man is cheating! (End of this chapter)
