Chapter 522 Meeting Ji Ning Again

In the Beast Taming Sect, the mountains are hidden in the night.

A figure floated up the mountain. It was a stunning woman in a beige fairy dress. She had a delicate face as white as jade, extremely white skin, a graceful figure, and a thin sword in her hand. She exuded the cultivation level of a late Jindan.

This woman was none other than Lu Wenyao, the leader of the Beast Taming Sect.

"metropolitan!"

Cao Yan showed up and told the story of Lord Huo Yuan going up the mountain to ask for the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art.

"Master Huo Yuan... Five-Colored Deer Calling Technique..."

Lu Wenyao sat upright, pursed her red lips and said, "It has been many years since a strange Nascent Soul has stepped into Dongming City. Is there something fishy about this True Lord Huo Yuan? Or, what is he coming for? If he comes for the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art, my Beast Taming Sect might be in some trouble."

"Don't worry, Master."

Cao Yan frowned and said, "I think this person is quite nice. He doesn't have too much airs of a Yuanying Great Cultivator. He is also very easy-going. After being rejected by Cao, he happily went down the mountain."

"Will you gladly go down the mountain?"

Lu Wenyao frowned slightly: "People who don't show their emotions are the most terrifying. Have you followed him and found out his background? Is he a casual cultivator, or is he a disguised ancestor of a certain force?"

"I am incompetent and lost him. This Yuanying senior's breath-hiding skills are extremely exquisite. I have never seen anything like it in my life!"

“To be so…”

"However, this person said that he will live in Dongming City for a while. The sect master can send someone to check it out. Dongming City is so small, I believe it will not be difficult to find a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"That's all we can do."

Lu Wen Yao stood up and looked at the scene in the city. For some reason, she had a feeling that a storm was about to come.

…

Late at night, Dongming City, Liuyun Mountain.

This fairy city covers a vast area. There are three fifth-tier spiritual veins in the city, two of which are occupied by the Beast Taming Sect and the Qiyun Tower, while the third is located in the Liuyun Mountain in the city. Therefore, the city lord in the past opened up thousands of caves in the Liuyun Mountain and rented them out as an important source of spiritual stones for the fairy city.

Today, Liuyun Mountain was bought by Qingxiefang many years ago, and Qiyunlou, a wealthy family, bought Qingxiefang in Dongming City many years ago and made it a property of Qiyunlou.

The various shady business wars involved are difficult for a cultivator like Ning Daoran to understand.

He was too lazy to understand and came here just to rent a fifth-level cave.

The reason why we have to rent a fifth-level spiritual cave is simply for the practice of Xiaobai, Xiaoheizi and Ning Xiaogui. As for Ning Daoran and Dabenlu, their cultivation is too high and their requirements for the concentration of spiritual energy are not so strict.

"Senior Huo Yuan!"

At the Liuyun Mountain Management Office, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator said respectfully, "There are not many fifth-grade lower-grade caves in the entire Liuyun Mountain. Most of them have been rented out many years ago. Now there is only one left. If the senior insists on renting this cave, I cannot make the decision and have to wait for the owner to come."

"Can."

Ning Daoran crossed his arms and said, "Then I will wait for the abbot here."

"Okay, I'll send someone to invite the abbot right away!"

So, Ning Daoran waited for about half a cup of tea, and then several beams of light came from above, breaking through the wind. The owner of the shop came with two managers. From a distance, the owner turned out to be a woman in a beige fairy dress. She looked graceful and exuded the aura of an early stage golden elixir.

As for the two managers, they are both in the late foundation building stage.

"The Lord!"

The mid-stage Jindan cultivator quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "This senior Huo Yuan wants to rent the only remaining fifth-order lower-grade cave house. I dare not make the decision on my own, so I asked the shop owner to come."

"knew."

The owner stepped forward, bowed and saluted, then smiled and said, "I am the owner of this Qingxiefang, my surname is Ji. If Senior Huo Yuan really wants this fifth-level lower-grade cave, I will give you a preferential price of 10,000 spirit stones per year. What do you think?"

Very expensive, not just ordinary expensive! At least 30% more expensive than the normal price. The owner of the shop clearly raised the price based on the last fifth-level cave.

However, Ning Daoran's eyes were all on the master of the temple. He was very familiar with the other party's spirit, so he didn't care. He took off a storage bag and said, "There are exactly 100,000 spirit stones in this bag. Ning will rent it for ten years."

"Okay, I will handle the formalities for you right away!"

Not long after, a cave restriction jade talisman fell into Ning Daoran's hands, and the handover procedures were completed.

"The owner."

Ning Daoran looked vague and said, "I have just arrived and am not familiar with Liuyun Mountain. Can I ask the abbot to lead the way?"

"Okay."

The other party also seemed to want to get to know him, a great Nascent Soul cultivator.

There are not many people in the Nascent Soul stage in Dongming City. Apart from the spirit beasts, there are only two at most. One is the ancestor of the middle Nascent Soul stage in Qiyun Tower, and the other is the Martial God Lu Yunzhou who sits in the Martial God Pavilion.

Ning Daoran is the third one, so his status is naturally very prominent.

"Senior, follow me."

The abbot floated up and took Ning Daoran to the top of Liuyun Mountain. Suddenly, they saw that the caves on Liuyun Mountain were densely packed and stacked one after another, like a diseased wart in this beautiful green mountain, which was a bit creepy.

Soon after, they arrived at a cave on the top of the mountain.

"Senior, the cave you rented is right here. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave." The abbot bowed.

"Master, please stay."

Ning Daoran opened the cave's restriction and said, "How about coming in and having a cup of tea?"

"Okay, then I will respectfully obey your command!"

The abbot went inside, and two followers in the late foundation building stage were waiting outside.

…

The cave was empty, with no utensils placed inside yet.

Ning Daoran was walking in front in a dark red robe, with one hand behind his back, looking very sage-like.

The abbot followed behind, feeling a little uneasy.

"Ji Ning."

Suddenly, Ning Daoran turned around and shouted.

"ah!?"

The abbot's heart suddenly began to beat faster.

She had been in Sangyu Country for many years and had long stopped using this name, but she had never expected that someone would actually call her by this name, and that the other person was a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage! "Senior, you..." Ji Ning was stunned.

"It's been a long time since we last saw Fanshu City."

Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves lightly, and the magic power on his face began to flow, and soon his true appearance returned to normal.

"ah!?"

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

Ji Ning's body trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Ning... Senior Ning..."

"That's me."

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled.

The girl in front of him was none other than Ji Ning, the disciple whom Chen Ping'er had entrusted with her care in Fanshu City. However, he did not expect that Ji Ning would now appear in Sangyu Country and become the owner of Qingxiefang in Hunzhou.

"How have you been these years?"

Ning Daoran wanted to continue asking, but Ji Ning came and threw herself into his arms, her shoulders trembling and she cried loudly. The collar of Ning Daoran's clothes was wet with tears in an instant.

It is conceivable that Ji Ning must have suffered a lot of grievances in order to reach the early stage of Jindan over the years.

"Ji Ning."

Ning Daoran said: "Talk nicely, don't cry anymore."

"Yes, Senior..."

Ji Ning left his embrace, her pretty face flushed, looking extremely shy: "I'm sorry... I was too excited to see you, Senior. I hope you don't mind if I was abrupt."

"It's a small matter, don't think too much about it."

Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "Tell me, how did you come to Sangyu Country? And you became the owner of Qingxiefang. What have you experienced in these years?"

"yes!"

Ji Ning began to tell the story. Ning Daoran took out two chairs from the Lingpu Cave and sat down to listen to her.

It turned out that Fan Book City had experienced a turmoil, and the business of Fu Ping Fang was getting worse day by day. Later, it experienced a beast tide, which caused heavy losses to Fan Book City. Ji Ning took everyone from Fu Ping Fang to Ningzhou to regroup.

However, they didn't expect that the water in Yunzhou City was deeper. Fu Ping Fang affected the business of Qing Xie Fang in Ningzhou, and the two sides had another big battle. After several twists and turns, the power of Fu Ping Fang gradually declined.

At that time, the border war had just ended. In order to avoid being hunted down by his enemies, Ji Ning took the few cultivators from Fu Ping Fang across the East China Sea and came to Sangyu Country to develop.

After that, he failed many times in his business ventures until he made some progress. He was noticed by the old owner of Qingxiefang in Hunzhou, who took him in as his last disciple. Later, he inherited his mantle and became the owner of Qingxiefang.

Over the years, Ji Ning's skills have not only improved a lot, but his management skills have also become more and more sophisticated. He has learned a lot from his master Chen Ping'er and the old owner of the shop, and has run Hunzhou Qingxiefang into a prosperous business that is well-known far and wide.

"It seems that..."

Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "Although the process must have been very difficult, at least the final result was good."

"Um!"

Ji Ning nodded heavily, looking at Ning Daoran with her beautiful eyes, and said with a moving look: "Now that I can see Senior Ning again, Ji Ning feels that all my efforts are worth it..."

"???"

Ning Daoran was confused by what she said. What was in this little girl's mind? Of course, he didn't know that when Chen Ping'er passed away and entrusted Ji Ning to her, Ning Daoran actually left a shadow in Ji Ning's heart. From then on, Ji Ning's heart could only accommodate him as a man, so that after experiencing so many twists and turns, Ji Ning never accepted other men.

If she can't be with the person she loves, she would rather be alone all her life and never settle.

Ning Daoran knew nothing about this ill-fated relationship, which was a good thing. Otherwise, he would have become anxious and his mind would have been unstable.

"so……"

Ning Daoran frowned, realizing the bad news: "If I had known you earlier, would the rental price of this cave be cheaper?"

"Exactly."

Ji Ning smiled and said, "This Qingxiefang is now the property of Qiyunlou, but I am the owner after all, so I have a lot of say. The lowest annual rent for this cave is 7,000 yuan!"

“…”

Ning Daoran slapped his thigh. Three thousand more spirit stones a year means thirty thousand spirit stones in ten years, all of which are pure cash!

Seeing his painful look, Ji Ning smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. Ji Ning can compensate you with the spirit stones privately. It's okay~~~"

"It's different when you pay out of your own pocket."

Ning Daoran shook his head: "Never mind, it's just 30,000 spirit stones. I, a Nascent Soul cultivator, don't even take it seriously. Ji Ning, come over more often when you are free in the future and drink tea with me. I can also give you some pointers on your cultivation."

"yes!"

Ji Ning's beautiful eyes were bright and her heart was filled with joy.
