Chapter 229: Battle with Yue Yaotian (asking for monthly ticket)

Jinyang City.

Fire Lotus Mountains.

Jinyang City, as a big city in the Hundred Cities area, has a great reputation in the Hundred Cities area.

Jinyang City is famous not only because of its large size, but most importantly because there are so many alchemists in Jinyang City.

Jinyang City can be said to be the base camp for alchemists in the Hundred Cities area.

There are nine third-grade alchemists in the entire city, and there are as many as a hundred second-grade and first-grade alchemists.

There is only one force in Jinyang City, and that is the Dan Society.

The Alchemy Association is in charge of Jinyang City, and the nine third-grade alchemists are the elders of the Alchemy Association. As for the president, each elder takes turns to serve for ten years.

Alchemists are very busy, as they have to practice and refine pills at the same time. The more powerful the alchemist is, the less they care about power. They would rather devote more energy to refining pills.

The rotation system of the president of the Alchemy Association is not because these third-grade alchemists are greedy for power, but because no one wants to be the president. In the end, they have no choice but to use this method to let everyone serve for ten years.

When Chu Ning arrived in Jinyang City, he went directly to the Fire Lotus Mountains in the city.

The reason why Jinyang City has a large area is that Jinyang City is not a mountain, but a mountain range.

The area of ​​the mountains alone is larger than that of a small city like Dongyu City, and this is why Jinyang City can gather so many alchemists.

There are several underground fires in the Fire Lotus Mountains. There are three third-level underground fires. Legend has it that there is also a fourth-level underground fire hidden deep underground.

"Chun Ning is here."

Deep in the Fire Lotus Mountains, at the foot of a mountain, Zhao Yangming saw Chu Ning appear and greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Zhao."

Chu Ning knew that his master and Senior Zhao often quarreled with each other, but now that his master had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and chose to stay in Jinyang City, and Senior Zhao was still here, it showed that his master and Senior Zhao had a special relationship.

Or maybe this is what they call a good friend is a bad friend.

It is a long process for a monk to form a baby, and he cannot be disturbed in any way during this period.

To form a baby, one compresses the spirit and soul into the golden elixir, and then the golden elixir gives birth to the spirit and soul again, just like an eggshell, when the eggshell breaks, a new life is born.

For cultivators, the golden elixir breaks and the Nascent Soul appears, which is why this state is named Nascent Soul.

If the fetus is formed quickly, it may take only half a year. If it is slow, it may take three to five years.

Therefore, many monks who are about to form a baby will ask some good friends to help protect them, to prevent enemies from taking this opportunity to retaliate and stop them from forming a baby.

"Your master has been waiting for you to come and start forming a baby."

Zhao Yangming laughed, Chu Ning apologized, and flew towards the mountain in front. His master was on this mountain at the moment, and he could feel it with his spiritual sense.

“Here I come.”

Xie Shouping stood on the top of the mountain and saw Chu Ning appear with a satisfied smile on his face.

"He is in the late Jindan stage. It seems that he has not neglected his cultivation in these years."

As a powerful warrior at the peak of the late Jindan stage, Xie Shouping could naturally sense Chu Ning's realm when Chu Ning did not hide his aura.

"The fact that both the master and the disciple are in the late stage of the Golden Core is considered a good story in the Hundred Cities area, but this also strengthens my determination to form a newborn baby. Otherwise, it would be a good story for you as a disciple, but for me as a master, people would inevitably laugh at me behind my back."

"Master, please don't joke with your disciple. I have just entered the late Jindan stage, and you have been in the late Jindan stage for many years. You can suppress me with just one finger."

Chu Ning smiled and flattered his master.

“Hahaha, although I know you are flattering me, I will take your flattery. This time, I chose to form my infant in the Fire Lotus Mountains because it is a holy land for alchemists and its safety is guaranteed.”

Speaking of business, Xie Shouping's expression also became serious: "In addition, the master also invited several third-grade formation masters to set up four layers of formations. Each layer of formations was set up by a different formation master."

Xie Shouping looked at Chu Ning. He wondered whether the reason why he asked three different formation masters to set up the formation was influenced by his disciple.

Be careful and try not to allow any omissions.

These four formations were created by different formation masters. Unless these four formation masters appear at the same time, any one or two of them will not be able to break the formation in a short time.

"Master, everything is ready. I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain until you succeed in forming a baby."

"Go ahead."

Xie Shouping waved his hand and watched Chu Ning go down the mountain with a smile on his face. Having such a disciple was his greatest pride in his life.

But at the same time, it also brought a lot of pressure to him as a master. When Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei got married, he had a conversation with Chu Ning's original teacher Liu.

He deeply agreed with what Teacher Liu said. To accept a disciple like Chu Ning was also a challenge for a master.

In the monastic circle, disciples become apprentices in order to seek the protection and guidance of their masters. If the disciples grow too fast, it will be embarrassing for the masters.

He decided to form a Nascent Soul at this time, partly because his disciple Chu Ning, as long as he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, would be able to protect Chu Ning from the wind and rain again.

When Chu Ning reached the foot of the mountain, there was a flash of light on the peak behind him. Countless lights crisscrossed and enveloped the entire mountain. At the same time, a cloud of mountain fog surged up the mountain, blocking the view.

"Your master has already activated the formation. Now you and I just need to wait here."

Zhao Yangming waved towards Chu Ning. Chu Ning saw the stove and tea sets in front of him, smiled slightly and sat down on the stone bench.

Too.

The master has lived longer than me, and what I can think of, the master can also think of. Now his consciousness has been blocked by the formation, and there is nothing he can do except wait.

"Senior Zhao, where is Fellow Daoist You?"

After not seeing each other for a long time, Chu Ning missed You Xing quite a bit, as he used to be his biggest fan.

"You Xing is refining a batch of pills."

"Friend You is really diligent."

Chu Ning casually said that during the time in Xiyue Sect, You Xing was making pills every day. Except for the necessary time for cultivation, this guy spent all his time on making pills.

Zhao Yangming's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily: "Do you think everyone is like you and can easily become a third-grade alchemist?"

He learned from Xie Shouping that Chu Ning had become a third-rank alchemist a hundred years ago, and this kid's talent for alchemy was the strongest he had ever seen.

Although his disciple You Xing has a good talent in alchemy, it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with other alchemists, he is naturally a genius, but if compared with Chu Ning.

Every time he thought of Xie Shouping's smiling face when he mentioned this matter, he felt depressed.

How did Xie Shouping get such a good disciple in the first place? Or maybe he should have been shameless enough to compete with Xie Shouping for him.

Chu Ning naturally didn't know what Zhao Yangming was thinking. Feeling the depression of this senior Zhao, he didn't continue the topic anymore.

Drink tea.

Drink tea when you feel awkward.

…

…

One year later.

Zhao Yangming and You Xing looked at Chu Ning who was constantly planting flags at the foot of the mountain. Both the master and the disciple had an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

So Chu Ning is not only a third-grade alchemist, but also a third-grade formation master.

"Disciple, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Yangming looked at his disciples. He was afraid that his disciples’ faith in Taoism would collapse due to Chu Ning’s blow.

His disciple is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while Chu Ning is not only in the late stage of the Golden Core, but also a third-grade alchemist and a third-grade formation master. This completely crushes his disciple.

If I were his disciple, I'm afraid my determination would be half broken.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed a genius."

You Xing had a look of admiration on his face. Zhao Yangming stared at his disciple's face carefully and asked, "Is that it?"

"Fellow Daoist Chu's broad mind also makes disciples admire him."

"No more?"

You Xing scratched his head, not understanding why his master asked this, but this was what he was thinking.

"It's okay if it's gone."

Zhao Yangming still understood his disciple. He was not the kind of person who was extremely cunning, and what he said came from his heart.

It is better for his disciple to admire Chu Ning so much than for his faith to collapse due to the blow from Chu Ning.

As for why his disciples admired Chu Ning, he also knew the reason. After his disciples came back, they told him about what happened in Xiyue Sect and also told him what Chu Ning said.

But in his eyes, those words were pure bullshit. What about not caring about fame and being afraid of undermining the spiritual faith of other alchemists? Chu Ning was unwilling to participate purely to hide his incompetence.

Only a foolish disciple like me would believe Chu Ning's words. If he really wanted to be so righteous, why would he participate later and even participate under someone else's identity? Wasn't it because he didn't want to be exposed in front of others?

"Old Xie has always told me that Chu Ning is a very stable person, and now it seems to be true."

Zhao Yangming watched Chu Ning set up the formation and whispered something in his heart, but he felt that Chu Ning was a little too steady.

This is Jinyang City, and there are nine third-grade alchemists including himself, all of whom are in the late Jindan stage.

The other eight people also have a good relationship with Lao Xie. If there really is an enemy, they will not sit idly by. As long as they are not a Nascent Soul expert, no one can destroy Lao Xie's Nascent Soul formation.

Although Chu Ning is a third-grade alchemist, many of the materials used to set up the formation are disposable, which is also a waste.

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Ning spent seven days setting up two more formations. For some reason, he had been feeling a little uneasy lately, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Could it be that his master would fail to form a baby? There are only two reasons for failure to form a baby. One is the master's own fault, and he can't help with this.

Another reason was that someone came and disturbed the master from forming a baby, which was why he set up the formation.

With two more formations, if someone really comes, they can be stopped for a while longer.

After arranging the formation, Chu Ning thought for a while and went to the city to ask the post station to send a letter to Xiyue Sect. He hoped to ask the senior from Xiyue Sect to come and protect his master.

As long as the senior from Xiyue Sect is here, there will be no chance of his master conceiving a baby.

"Chu Ning, I think you are worrying too much. This is Jinyang City..."

Zhao Yangming looked at Chu Ning busying around and started to persuade him, but he stopped halfway through his words.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Yangming and Chu Ning looked towards the sky not far away.

Boom! A fire dragon suddenly appeared from the sky, with the power to destroy the world, and smashed directly into the mountain where Xie Shouping had formed his baby.

The formation around the mountain felt the attack and activated instantly. Countless rays of light shot out and killed the fire dragon within the formation.

"Someone really dares to attack Old Xie!"

Zhao Yangming opened his mouth slightly with a look of astonishment on his face, but the next moment his expression became solemn, and he crushed a jade slip without saying a word.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is a sound transmission jade slip, which is unique to the Alchemy Association. Once it is crushed, the other eight elders will come immediately.

However, after a moment, Zhao Yangming's expression turned ugly, and the sound transmission note did not get out.

This piece of land has been blocked off by someone.

The enemy is not ordinary.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Seven figures appeared in the sky above, each of them was a late Jindan cultivator. Chu Ning's eyes fell on one of them.

Yue Yaotian! Chu Ning was not too surprised to see Yue Yaotian. When he found out that this world was blocked, the first person that came to his mind was Yue Yaotian.

His master must have enemies, but to be able to block off this world silently so that even his spiritual sense cannot detect it is definitely not something that an ordinary Jindan cultivator can do.

"Chu Ning, you didn't expect that."

There was a smug look on Yue Yaotian's face, and above his head, there was a black bowl upside down.

Streams of light continued to flow out of the mouth of the black snake's bowl and quickly shot towards the surrounding area.

"For this moment, I deliberately used a secret treasure of my Xuantian Sect, the Heaven-Swallowing Jar. This jar can instantly seal off a piece of heaven and earth, and can teleport us into the sealed area. Not to mention you, even a Nascent Soul expert can't find it."

There was an extremely pleased look in Yue Yaotian's eyes. As early as seven years ago, he had accidentally heard from a third-rank formation master that Chu Ning's master Xie Shouping was going to form a baby in the Fire Lotus Mountains in Jinyang City, and he began to plan.

When Xie Shouping gave birth to his infant, Chu Ning, as his disciple, would definitely come to protect his master. He would take this opportunity to capture both Chu Ning and his disciple.

Having learned from the lesson of the last sneak attack on Xiyue Sect, this time he led six late Jindan cultivators, plus he himself was a seventh late Jindan cultivator, and would definitely not give Chu Ning another chance to make a comeback by chance.

In addition to sealing off a piece of heaven and earth, the Heaven-Swallowing Jar can also prevent outsiders from breaking in. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would take several late-stage Jindan cultivators half an incense stick of time to break through the defense of the Heaven-Swallowing Jar.

Half an incense stick was enough for him to kill Chu Ning.

But even with such a perfect plan, he still made a backup plan. There was an elder from his Xuantian Sect in the city. If those third-grade alchemists in Jinyang City found something wrong and really wanted to attack wildly, the elder would show up and reveal his identity directly.

At that time, it would be time for these third-grade alchemists to decide whether to go against the Xuantian Sect for the sake of the two outsiders, Xie Shouping and Chu Ning.

As long as these third-grade alchemists are not stupid, they will know how to choose.

As for violating the rules of the Hundred Cities area, Yue Yaotian wouldn't take it to heart.

Rules are often just a kind of restriction. If he really wants to break the rules by force, what can the monks in Baicheng do to him?

Xuantian Sect now has a total of thirteen late Jindan cultivators, and its strength is already the best in Chengshan Region.

"Chu Ning, you are the first person that I take so seriously. Even if you die, you should feel honored."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Yaotian. After two hundred years of recuperation after the domain war, the strength of each sect has been restored, but even Xiyue Sect now only has five late Jindan elders. Where did Xuantian Sect get so many late Jindan masters? Yue Yaotian brought six late Jindan masters to kill him. This is definitely not all the late Jindan masters in Xuantian Sect. In other words, Xuantian Sect may have more than ten late Jindan masters.

Are there other more powerful forces supporting Xuantian Sect?

Chu Ning thought of Yue Yaotian’s senior brother, so was this the reason why Feng Angge persuaded him to leave Chengshan Domain?

Xuantian Sect has the support of the Central Region sects, and other sects in Chengshan Region will not be a match for Xuantian Sect.

"Get started!"

Before Chu Ning could continue thinking, Yue Yaotian gave an order and two of the late Jindan cultivators went towards Zhao Yangming and You Xing, master and disciple.

The three late Jindan cultivators headed straight for the mountain, but were trapped by a formation at the foot of the mountain. Chu Ning was glad that he felt uneasy and set up a few more formations in advance. The three cultivators would not be able to break through the formation in a short time.

Yue Yaotian and another late Jindan cultivator locked onto Chu Ning with their auras from the left and right.

"Come on, then."

Chu Ning flicked his right hand and a flame appeared.

"You still want to use this trick." Yue Yaotian raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips, and a red bead appeared in his hand.

"This is a fire-fixing bead specially prepared for your earth fire."

Last time, a late Jindan cultivator was directly burned to death because of this earth fire. This time, Yue Yaotian was fully prepared.

When the Fire-fixing Bead was shot out, Chu Ning discovered that the flame in front of him stopped jumping.

At that time, he was able to use the earth fire to directly burn the late Jindan cultivator. That was the fire radiated by the spirit of the earth fire himself, and the spirit of the earth fire had been staying in Nian Tangshan. The body in his body was just a ball of fire separated from the spirit of the earth fire.

Yue Yaotian was indeed well prepared. Since the earth fire was useless, he could only fight hard.

Swoosh! Chu Ning summoned a puppet, a puppet of the middle Jindan stage. It was not good enough in front of the late Jindan stage, but it should be able to resist the late Jindan stage cultivator for a few breaths.

The puppet shot out, and Chu Ning's figure followed closely and disappeared on the spot.

The puppet went towards Yue Yaotian, and when Chu Ning appeared again, he was already in front of another late Jindan cultivator.

Chu Ning’s strategy is to kill other people quickly.

As the young master of Xuantian Sect, Yue Yaotian has many treasures on him and is not so easy to kill. The best option is to use puppets to hold Yue Yaotian back and then make all-out efforts to destroy other late Jindan cultivators.

"A broken puppet wants to stop me!"

Looking at the puppet that was attacking him fearlessly, Yue Yaotian had a look of disdain on his face. He slapped the puppet in the air with his big hand, and the puppet was directly slapped and flew backwards.

But the next moment, the puppet shot back again, which made Yue Yaotian's face turn ugly. He thought that this palm could smash the puppet, but he didn't expect that the puppet was so hard.

On the other side, the late Jindan cultivator also knew how powerful Chu Ning was, so he did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he retreated to the back while forming seals with his hands, and a spiritual wall appeared in front of him.

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

The Soul-Destroying Thorn locks onto the opponent and is unleashed.

The spiritual wall can defend against spiritual power, but it cannot defend against attacks from spiritual consciousness.

The other party was stunned. After being attacked by the Soul-Destroying Thorn, bloodstains appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Swoosh! Chu Ning made a mountain-moving seal with his hands, and a mountain appeared above the opponent's head and fell down with a loud bang.

Boom!

The mountain smashed the man to the ground, causing the earth to shake.

“Damn it!”

When Yue Yaotian saw this scene, there was anger on his face. He did not expect that after two hundred years, Chu Ning's strength had improved so quickly. He had clearly received news that Chu Ning was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core more than twenty years ago, which means that Chu Ning had entered the late stage of the Golden Core less than twenty years ago.

Bang! Yue Yaotian punched the puppet, and the puppet's body broke into several pieces and fell to the ground from the air.

It was already very good for a puppet in the middle stage of the Golden Core to be able to withstand two attacks from Yue Yaotian in the late stage of the Golden Core.

Chu Ning no longer cared about the puppet's disintegration. Seeing that Zhao Yangming and You Xing were at a disadvantage, he slapped his storage bag and the soul-catching bracelet flew into the air.

The soul-catching bracelet appeared in the air, and a terrifying sharp sound resounded throughout the world. Except for Chu Ning himself, everyone present was affected.

After devouring hundreds of thousands of souls, the soul-catching ability of the soul-catching bracelet became extremely terrifying.

Yue Yaotian, who was closest to him, was hit first and shook his head. Chu Ning did not hesitate to use the Soul-Destroying Spear again.

However, just as the Soul-Destroying Spear was about to pierce into Yue Yaotian's soul, a purple light flashed around Yue Yaotian, and the purple light directly blocked his Soul-Destroying Spear.

"Retreat and form a formation!"

Yue Yaotian looked at the broken jade pendant on his waist with an extremely ugly expression. He thought he had paid enough attention to Chu Ning, but he didn't expect that Chu Ning was even more powerful than he imagined.

When the three late Jindan cultivators who were trying to break through the formation heard this, they immediately withdrew from the formation. The three of them rushed forward and, together with Yue Yaotian, surrounded Chu Ning in the center.

The four of them formed seals with their hands at the same time. Chu Ning naturally would not sit there and wait for death. He immediately stabbed the old man on the left with his Soul-Destroying Spear, but his Soul-Destroying Spear only stabbed ten feet away before dissipating.

"I know that you have a strong spiritual consciousness. This formation has the effect of restraining the soul. Don't think about using your soul to attack."

The formation was formed, Yue Yaotian regained his previous arrogance, and the hand seals on his hands did not stop changing.

The Soul-Destroying Spear was useless. Chu Ning frowned and without hesitation used the Mountain-Moving Seal again. The mountain appeared, but the next moment, light shot out from the bodies of Yue Yaotian and the other three. The four rays of light turned into pillars of light and directly destroyed the mountain.

"The Four Symbols Annihilation Formation, four Jindan late stage cultivators set up the formation, which can gather the power of the four of us together. Unless they are true Yuanying cultivators, there is only one end, and that is to be annihilated physically and spiritually and die."

Yue Yaotian's hand seal changed, and Chu Ning's body suddenly twisted. Four forces from all directions were squeezing his body madly.

These four forces were so terrifying that the space around him began to distort.

Just as Yue Yaotian said, every force has exceeded the limit of a late Jindan cultivator.

"Chu Ning, let's see what you can do to break the deadlock this time!"
