Chapter 225: Heavy Snow Reflects Red Makeup (Subscription Request)
The arrival of the two women from the Li family was just an episode for Chu Ning and did not affect his mood.
Continue to refine the puppet.
With previous experience, this time he upgraded the puppet much faster than last time.
It took two years for the second puppet to successfully advance to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Two Green Spirit Crystals, all successful.
Chu Ning was also somewhat grateful for his luck. He originally thought that it would be great if he could succeed in one statue.
Now both puppets are in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. In addition to his own middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he also has a spiritual awareness comparable to that of an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator, as well as the Soul Capture Bracelet and Earth Fire. Although he cannot be invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm, he should be invincible.
Five years.
Chu Ning didn't feel like a lot of time had passed. He had been in seclusion in Xiyue Sect for decades. In comparison, five years was nothing.
This is the cultivator’s concept of time. As their realm improves, their sense of time will become increasingly vague.
Chu Ning decided to patrol the Black Mountain area just to relax his mind.
In cultivation, one must combine work and rest.
After changing his body shape, Chu Ning controlled his strength at the initial stage of Qi Condensation. With his current strength, he did not need to use the temporary substitution technique. He could simply hide his body shape. No cultivator in the entire Dongyu City could see his true appearance.
In the early stage of Qi Condensation, in the Black Mountain area, one is equivalent to a martial artist in the Daliang Dynasty. He has a certain status but is not conspicuous.
There are six small cities surrounding the Black Mountain area. After visiting two cities, Chu Ning knew the current situation of the families in the Black Mountain area.
The Li family was not destroyed in the end and remained one of the fifteen families.
The reason why it was not destroyed was because the second daughter of the Li family married a son of the Jin family as a concubine, and the Jin family spoke up.
As the real controller of the Black Mountain region, other families naturally dare not disobey the Jin family's words, but the Jin family will only protect the Li family from being destroyed, and will not support the Li family's revenge against other families.
For the Jin family, whether it is the Li family or other families, they are all their affiliated forces, and these families have to pay tribute to the Jin family every year.
If there were members of the Jin family supporting them from behind, they would be able to destroy other families. These small families would have left long ago.
What the Jin family wants is a balance, and if these families can give birth to foundation-building cultivators, the Jin family will also reward them, because the families of these foundation-building cultivators are under the jurisdiction of the Jin family and can only choose to be loyal to the Jin family, unless the foundation-building cultivator has no sense of belonging to the family.
Pingshan City.
It is a small town in the southern area of Montenegro, and the Qiao family is one of the fifteen families that control the city.
The Qiao family, with three people in the late Qi Condensation stage, can control a small city, and is one of the top three families among the fifteen families.
"Every world has its own level."
In a tavern in Pingshan City, Chu Ning drank some wine and smiled helplessly.
For the monks in Pingshan City and the Black Mountain area, a family like the Qiao family is a behemoth.
But to the Qiao family, the four major families in Dongyu City are behemoths.
But to the four major families in East Region City, the four major sects are out of reach.
But for the four major sects, a Divine Transformation cultivator can decide their life or death.
A strong person in the eyes of others is just a shrimp in the eyes of a higher-level being.
Many monks practice desperately in order to escape from their status as small-time shrimps, but most monks struggle all their lives and end up as small-time shrimps.
Yuanying masters are already top-notch in Chengshan Domain, but what about other domains? Not to mention the more than 40 lower domains, there are also the higher middle domains, the upper domains above that, and the higher nine realms.
Damn it, just thinking about it makes my heart collapse.
Chu Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head. In fact, being at the bottom of society does not mean being unhappy. The lower you are, the easier it is to be happy.
It could be that the growth of a few acres of spiritual fields is pleasing and you can sell a dozen more spiritual stones, it could be that you get a magic weapon, or it could be a bottle of elixir.
What is cultivation for? Chu Ning's eyes suddenly became confused. Many cultivators would say that they cultivate in order to live longer and to be able to control their own destiny.
But he already had a long life, and as for controlling his own destiny, with his current state of mind, it was more than enough for him to establish a family in any area of the Lower Realm.
What was the purpose of his cultivation? Chu Ning didn't know. At this moment, not only was his expression extremely confused, but the aura he exuded was also very decadent.
Walking out of the tavern, Chu Ning walked alone on the street. The sky seemed to be affected by him, and white and crystal snowflakes fell from the sky.
It's snowing.
The monks in Pingfeng City looked at the sky in shock. There shouldn't be snow at this time of year.
In the southern area of the city, the spiritual farmer who was planting spiritual herbs was looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky with an anxious look on his face.
If it snows at this time, it will affect the growth of spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields.
Many spiritual fields were shining with halos, and a protective shield appeared above the spiritual fields, blocking the falling snowflakes.
There was a spirit formation set up here, but most of the spirit farmers could only helplessly watch the snowflakes falling. They did not set up a spirit formation because one spirit formation required ten spirit stones, and they could only earn thirty spirit stones a year by growing spiritual medicines.
These spiritual farmers were reluctant to spend one-third of their income to set up a spiritual formation.
Screen City, Qiao Family.
The three late Qi Condensation cultivators of the Qiao family looked at the snowflakes above their heads with solemn expressions in their eyes.
There is only one possibility for the sudden snowing at this time: a senior is practicing a technique related to snow.
Being able to make snow fall all over Pingfeng City and dozens of miles outside the city, to do this, one must at least be a cultivator in the late foundation building stage or a Jindan cultivator.
But there is no such strong person in Pingfeng City. Even Senior Ji on the Black Mountain is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
It takes more than five years to break through from the middle to late stages of foundation building.
Did a mysterious strong man pass by Pingfeng City? Three days later, the outside of Pingfeng City was covered with snow, and the heavy snow had not stopped.
The snow in some areas of the city was blocked by formations, but the spiritual fields in the southern area were completely destroyed.
Large areas of spiritual fields were covered with ice and snow, and many spiritual farmers looked at the sky in despair.
The spiritual fields in Pingfeng City do not grow any precious spiritual medicines, but the most common and lowest-level spiritual medicines. The spiritual farmers who grow these spiritual medicines are all in the initial stage of Qi Condensation, and some are not even in the initial stage of Qi Condensation and have just started practicing.
Faced with the heavy snow, they were helpless. The snow not only destroyed their income, but also made them face huge compensation.
The spiritual fields belong to the Qiao family, and many spiritual farmers also rent the spiritual medicine seeds from the Qiao family. According to the agreement, they wait until the spiritual medicines are mature, collect them and sell them to the Qiao family. After paying back the money for the seeds, they can earn some spiritual stones for their hard work.
But now, it's all gone.
Many young spiritual farmers had tears in their eyes. This snow would crush their path of cultivation. But even so, they did not dare to curse, because they had already learned that this snow was caused by the cultivation method of a powerful senior.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If you curse and let this senior know, you may lose your life, and even your family, relatives and friends may be implicated.
In the heavy snow, two beautiful figures appeared in the Lingtian area in the south of the city.
"Everyone, in this snowstorm, my Qiao family will distribute new spirit seeds for free to all the spirit farmers affected by the disaster. As for the spirit seeds and spirit stones owed, you just need to pay them back within five years."
"Miss Qiao?"
When many spiritual farmers listened to the words of the woman in green, the light in their eyes rekindled.
"Thank you, Miss Qiao."
"Thank you, Qiao family."
The spiritual farmers cheered, and Qiao Ya also smiled. She comforted the spiritual farmers with a few words before turning around and leaving.
"Miss, you did this without consulting the Patriarch. I'm afraid the Patriarch will blame you."
Qiao Ya listened to the maid's words and smiled playfully: "It's okay, at most I'll be scolded by my father. I've already said it. As the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, I can't go back on my word."
Execute first and report later.
These spiritual farmers didn't know that this was Qiao Ya's own decision, but Qiao Ya knew her father. She had already said it, and it wouldn't be long before it spread throughout Pingshan City. Her father had to admit it for the sake of the Qiao family's reputation.
As for being scolded by my father, it wasn't the first or second time. The worst that could happen was that I would be put in solitary confinement for a period of time.
"But Miss, this is a huge expense. We also have to pay tribute to the Jin family and the senior on Black Mountain."
"It's okay. It's not like our family can't afford these spirit stones."
"Miss, you are just too kind."
"I'm not being kind. In fact, I'm doing this for the good of our Qiao family. If these spiritual farmers can't come up with spiritual stones, they will definitely not continue to plant spiritual fields. Then no one will plant spiritual fields. Now, they will remember our Qiao family's kindness and will plant spiritual medicine more seriously. The better the quality of the spiritual medicine, the greater the benefit our Qiao family will get."
Qiao Ya smiled slightly, and the maid beside her muttered, "I can't argue with you, Miss. Anyway, you always have a good point."
"It's not that you can't argue with me, it's because what I said is right."
"Yes, young lady, you are right. So young lady, who do you think is better, the young master of the Yang family or the young master of the Su family?"
Hearing the maid's words, Qiao Ya's smile froze. Some time ago, her father had mentioned the marriage to her. Both the young master of the Yang family and the young master of the Su family asked someone to find her father, so her father asked her.
She had also met the young master of the Yang family and the young master of the Su family, but she didn't have much feeling about them.
"Hey, there's someone over there!"
Qiao Ya chose to change the subject, and the maid Xiao Zhu's attention was indeed diverted.
"This person looks so lonely, walking in the snow on such a snowy day."
In front of the master and servant, a man in thin clothes was walking alone in the snow.
One step shallow.
Two steps deep.
Three steps and your hair will turn white.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Qiao Ya cried out. She had heard about a man running in the snow the day before yesterday, which aroused everyone's curiosity at the time. According to a monk who knew the inside story at the scene, the man was so distraught because his beloved woman was snatched away by a monk with a background.
The man did not respond and continued walking forward.
"It's just that your woman was robbed. A man should be able to let go. You will only make your family sad by treating yourself like this."
The man still didn't respond.
"Miss, this man has probably gone insane," the maid Xiaolu whispered.
Qiao Ya blinked her pure eyes slightly, and the next moment she appeared in front of the man: "I say..."
Sorry, the updates have been at night these days because the temperature has dropped. I couldn’t get up in the morning these days. It was too damn cold. I can’t use the air conditioner. I hope the heater arrives tomorrow.
