Chapter 459 Zhang Ningxin’s Farewell Gift

Qianyuanzong.

Master Tu Yang's energy was cut off and he was already dead.

Zhang Ningxin and a group of other disciples knelt in a circle around him, but there was no sign of Master Tu Yang's newlywed wife.

In the ruins, the great elder Li Xiancheng helped the sect leader Qian Yuan Zhen Jun up. Qian Yuan Zhen Jun's injuries were extremely serious. Although he did not fall in realm, this battle exhausted his vitality, and his life span, which was already limited to begin with, was now almost gone.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Zhang Ningxin and other disciples turned around and knelt down to worship Master Qianyuan.

"No need to be polite."

True Lord Qian Yuan flicked his sleeves and said, "In this battle, our Qian Yuan Sect suffered heavy losses in resisting the two Nascent Soul monsters. Please organize people from all the peaks to rescue the injured immediately. Use the spiritual medicines in the spiritual medicine garden as long as they can be used. Don't worry about how much is lost. At this moment, the lives of our Qian Yuan Sect disciples are more important than any precious medicine."

"Yes, Sect Master..."

The eyes of several wounded peak masters were red.

"After finishing the matter..."

Qian Yuan Zhen Jun frowned and said, "The peak masters, please come to my Qian Yuan Peak Cave Mansion to discuss matters. Junior Brother Li, you come too."

"Yes, brother!"

Li Xiancheng nodded heavily.

"Ning Xin."

True Lord Qianyuan cast his gaze towards Zhang Ningxin who was not far away, and said, "Go to Luoxia Peak and invite Little Friend Ning to come and participate in the discussion in the cave of Qianyuan Peak. Tell him directly that although he is a guest cultivator of Qianyuan Sect, he has been a guest for so many years and is also a member of our Qianyuan Sect. I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes, Uncle Master!"

Zhang Ningxin nodded and turned to head towards the Purple and Green Three Peaks.

…

In the afternoon, powerful auras gathered on Qianyuan Peak. As the leader of the nine peaks of Qianyuan Sect, Qianyuan Peak suffered heavy losses in this battle. Many caves and buildings on the mountainside were burned down by Fire Dragon Lord. The disciples of Qianyuan Peak suffered even more losses, and many of them died in the beast tide.

From the north, two beams of light flew over. They were Ning Daoran in a green shirt, and Zhang Ningxin in a white shirt as white as snow.

"Fellow Daoist Ning."

The great elder Li Xiancheng clasped his fists lightly. He must have learned from True Lord Qianyuan that the reason why the two Nascent Soul monsters retreated was directly related to the True Lord Qiu Shui in front of him.

"Daoyou Li!"

Ning Daoran clasped his fists in return, and then they stepped into the cave together.

Inside the sect master's cave, True Lord Qianyuan was sitting cross-legged on a stone plate as smooth as jade, relying on the spiritual energy in the stone plate to restore his vitality, but he still looked very old and could die at any time.

Ning Daoran took a quick glance and saw that Zhenjun Qianyuan only had a few years left to live. This great monk who was so powerful in Qinzhou would not live long.

“Senior Brother…”

A group of peak masters clasped their fists in the open space in front of Zhenjun Qianyuan and sat down together.

"Um."

True Lord Qianyuan nodded, and cast his eyes on Ning Daoran and Zhang Ningxin, saying: "Little friend Ning, Ning Xin, you also sit down and listen to me."

"yes!"

After the two of them sat down, all the peak masters looked at them in surprise.

Zhang Ningxin is the leader of the younger generation, and is many people's first choice for the next generation sect leader. She is indeed qualified to sit here, but the Luoxia Peak master is also sitting here, which makes people wonder.

"Everyone."

Qian Yuan Zhenjun said in a low voice: "After this battle, our Qian Yuan Sect was seriously injured. Junior Brother Tu Yang and many disciples died in the battle. Our Qian Yuan Sect suffered heavy losses. If we cannot recover our vitality in time, I am afraid that a disaster will come immediately."

All the peak masters were silent, the sect master was telling the truth.

The world of immortal cultivation has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. At this time, Master Tuyang died in battle, Master Qianyuan was seriously injured, and his life span was almost over. This was the time when the Qianyuan Sect was at its weakest. If a large sect or force coveted this high-level spiritual vein of the Qianyuan Sect at this time, the consequences would be disastrous! "I am old, and my time is running out."

Qian Yuan Zhen Jun sighed and said, "So I have decided... to pass the position of the sect leader to Junior Brother Li Xian Cheng. From today on, Junior Brother Li will be the sect leader of Qian Yuan Sect. As for me, I will retreat behind the scenes and practice in seclusion from now on, serving as the sect's supreme elder. Do you all have any objections?"

"We will obey Brother's orders!"

A group of peak masters nodded in agreement.

Although Li Xiancheng is only in the late Jindan stage, he has been cultivating in the late Jindan stage for hundreds of years and is only one step away from Nascent Soul stage. He is indeed the most qualified person to be the sect leader.

"Junior Brother Li."

Qian Yuan Zhenjun said: "Qian Yuan Sect is in danger, I hope Junior Brother Li can shoulder the great responsibility of the sect. Within ten years, Junior Brother must try to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Once Junior Brother Nascent Soul is reached, our Qian Yuan Sect can still be saved."

"yes!"

Li Xiancheng said in a deep voice: "Li Xiancheng will definitely go all out, please be at ease, Senior Brother!"

"good!"

True Lord Qianyuan's eyes fell on Ning Daoran in the distance, and he said, "Young friend Ning has been a guest in Qianyuan Sect for 28 years, so he can be considered half of our family. In this battle, young friend Ning's help to our Qianyuan Sect should be remembered by everyone in our Qianyuan Sect. I am taking the liberty to invite you. I wonder if you are willing to serve as the chief guest elder of our Qianyuan Sect?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Qianyuan, but I am used to being lazy."

Ning Daoran clasped his fists lightly: "I hope you can forgive me, senior."

"That's fine."

True Lord Qian Yuan smiled calmly: "From now on, the three peaks of Ziqing will be under the management of Young Friend Ning, and all rents of the three peaks of Ziqing will be waived. I hope you will accept this little gift from me."

"In that case, I will obey your orders. Thank you, Senior!"

"Um."

Not long after, the meeting was over and Zhenjun Qianyuan was about to go into seclusion, so Ning Daoran returned to Luoxia Peak.

News came from Tuyang Peak that after Master Tuyang died, his Taoist partner Liu Ruyan disappeared. Some disciples said that she had left the sect and traveled far away.

Ning Daoran remained silent on this. His friendship with Liu Ruyan had been exhausted by this incident.

It's just a pity that Liu Ruyan waited for many years and finally decided to take a gamble. She placed her bet on Master Tu Yang, hoping that one day she could become the wife of the high and mighty sect leader. However, she made the wrong bet and ended up in complete failure.

…

The Qianyuan Sect's strength plummeted, and the Demon Dragon Mountain Range was as peaceful as usual.

Ning Daoran decided to go into seclusion.

In this way, two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Two years later, Ning Daoran came out of seclusion, having completely mastered the inheritance of the Great Dao Burning Heaven Array.

In the afternoon, the grass is green and the birds are singing.

Ning Daoran came to Qianyuan Sect, found the sect leader Li Xiancheng, and took out a list of materials for refining the formation.

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

"oh?"

Li Xiancheng frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, are you going to refine a fourth-level formation?"

"That's right."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "My formation skills have been stuck at the third level for too long, so I want to try a few things to see if I can make a breakthrough and reach the fourth level. I believe that the materials on this list are all in your sect's Duobao Pavilion. The sect master only needs to sell them to me at the original price."

"That's fine."

Li Xiancheng said: "Fellow Daoist Ning, please come this way. I will personally take you to select the materials."

"Thank you!"

Not long after, Ning Daoran left Duobao Pavilion with a heavy storage bag in his hand. The materials for refining the Great Dao Burning Heaven Formation had basically been gathered, and it cost a total of 600,000 spirit stones.

This fourth-level middle-grade killing array is actually half as expensive as the defensive array! It costs hundreds of thousands of spirit stones and costs so much. No wonder only great cultivators and large forces and sects can afford the fourth-level array. Ordinary small sects and immortal cultivation families don't have this foundation at all.

"Fellow Daoist Ning~~~"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. It was Zhang Ningxin.

"Fairy Ningxin."

Ning Daoran turned around and asked with a smile, "How are you, Fairy?"

"Very well."

Zhang Ningxin thought: "It's been a long time since we last met, Daoist friend. Since we are already in Qianyuan Sect, why not go to Ningxin's cave to have a cup of tea?"

"Okay."

Ning Daoran couldn't refuse the other party's cordial invitation.

So, he followed Zhang Ningxin to her cave on Tuyang Peak.

At this time, the position of the peak master of Tuyang Peak was vacant. According to the opinions of Qianyuan Zhenjun and Li Xiancheng, the position of the peak master of the second peak of Qianyuan Sect was vacant, waiting for Zhang Ningxin to be promoted to the late Jindan stage.

It would be somewhat difficult to convince the public that a person in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage could be the head of Tuyang Peak.

After taking a sip of the sweet and mellow tea, Ning Daoran felt relaxed all over. It was worthy of the Qianyuan Sect, with profound cultural heritage. This level of tea art was incomparable to that of Lao Lu and Xiao Bai.

"How about my Tu Yangfeng's spiritual tea?"

"Very good."

"That's good."

Zhang Ningxin took a sip of tea, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and enjoyed the taste. At this moment, a flash of inspiration burst out, and Zhang Ningxin's whole temperament suddenly changed completely.

She has reached the late stage of Jindan!

"Congratulations to the fairy for breaking through the level."

Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So the fairy asked me to come for tea, but she wanted me to help her break through the ranks and protect her."

Zhang Ningxin chuckled: "Maybe it's because of you, fellow Daoist, that Ningxin is in a very good mood. I have successfully broken through the level with just a thought. Ningxin should be thanking you, fellow Daoist."

As she spoke, she revealed a look of regret: "It's a pity that you don't want to stay in Qianyuan Sect as a guest elder. Otherwise, Ning Xin would be very happy to stay with you for a long time. Besides, my Tuyang Peak really lacks a strong helper like you."

"Fairy, you are overpraising me. I don't have that kind of ability."

Ning Daoran stood up and said, "Since there is nothing else to do, I will return to Luoxia Peak. By the way, I will be moving out of the lease soon, leaving Qianyuan Sect and continuing to travel around the world."

"So urgent?"

Zhang Ningxin was surprised: "If that's the case, I'll go visit you in a few days."

…

A few days later.

News came from Qianyuan Sect that Zhang Ningxin had been promoted to the late Jindan stage and was officially canonized as a saint, and was also appointed as deputy sect leader and leader of Tuyang Peak. As a result, Zhang Ningxin's status in Qianyuan Sect was second only to that of sect leader Li Xiancheng.

I think everything was arranged by Zhenjun Qianyuan.

Li Xiancheng's position as the sect leader is just a transition. Once Zhang Ningxin, the saint girl, succeeds in condensing her infant, with her talent and background, her combat power will be far superior to Li Xiancheng. She is the new sect leader candidate in Qianyuan Zhenjun's mind! In the evening.

A figure in snow-white clothes descended on Luoxia Peak. It was Zhang Ningxin.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the gift Ning Xin prepared for you. I hope you won't refuse it." Zhang Ningxin handed over a heavy storage bag.

Ning Daoran scanned the area with his spiritual sense and was immediately shocked. They were all fourth-level formation materials, with a total value of at least 200,000 spirit stones. Zhang Ningxin was very generous in order to make friends with this guest cultivator who was about to leave! (End of this chapter)
