Chapter 276 Letter from an Old Friend
Ten years later.
Chu Ning walked out of Danta. Even though he had obtained the answer he wanted, he continued to read the jade slips in Danta's library for a few years until the ten-year deadline was up.
It is a rare opportunity to be able to enter Danta's library and read the jade slips.
If it were other cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, they might be anxious to break through the realm, after all, their lifespan is about to reach the end.
But for Chu Ning, there is no worry about his lifespan. The more jade slips he reads, the more knowledge he will gain.
Knowledge is power, and sometimes knowledge can even save lives.
The jade slips in Danta's library are very rich, not only containing introductions to the forces in various domains, but also descriptions of the power of some sects' powerful spells.
"The Book of Ten Thousand Jue" and "The Book of Ten Thousand Weapons", these two jade slips were what he read in the remaining few years.
"The Book of Ten Thousand Techniques" records tens of thousands of magic techniques. It does not include the formulas but only explains their powers. However, it has benefited Chu Ning a lot. If he encounters an opponent who uses these techniques in the future, he will be able to prepare for them in the first place.
"The Book of Ten Thousand Weapons" records tens of thousands of spiritual weapons, magic weapons and primitive weapons in the world of cultivators. There are fewer primitive weapons, and there are about a thousand kinds of magic weapons, and the rest are spiritual weapons.
"In Mr. Jin Yong's book, Wang Yuyan read all the martial arts secrets in the Langhuan Jade Cave and had the ability to tell where anyone's martial arts came from. I should be able to do something like this after reading so many techniques myself."
After ten years of studying, I have gained a lot.
Chu Ning decided to reward himself and went to Yuxian Tower.
Chu Ning strolled leisurely on the street. When going to listen to music, one cannot be too hasty. Many inexperienced people are always in a hurry. Their hurried steps and lowered heads make it easy for people to tell where they are going.
"As long as I don't enter the gate of Yuxian Tower, no one will think that I am going to Yuxian Tower."
Chu Ning whispered something, crossed the street corner, and the Yuxian Building was clearly visible.
But the next moment, two young men were driven out by the clerk in a pharmacy in front.
"Deacon Li, you are going too far. My two brothers and I spent our contributions to obtain the jurisdiction of this shop from the sect. It's still 20 years before it expires. Why are you kicking us out now?"
"The sect has increased the contribution points required to contract a shop, and the contribution points you two brothers have are no longer enough."
"The sect has increased the contribution points, but that should be a matter for the future. My two brothers and I contracted this forty years ago, and the contract we signed with the sect is for fifty years. Why should we take back our jurisdiction and give it to Li Qing?"
The young man in yellow on the left said angrily, "Deacon Li is unfair. My brother and I will report this to the sect and my master."
The old man at the door of the shop had no expression on his face when he heard this, but the young man Li Qing beside him sneered, "You still want to complain to your master? I'm afraid you don't know that your master failed to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and his life is almost over."
"impossible!"
Hearing Li Qing's words, the man in yellow immediately retorted: "Li Qing, how dare you disrespect my master!"
“Humph, if Elder Shu really breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, you think I can take over this shop. You are such a fool.”
Li Qing's rhetorical question made the man in yellow silent for a moment.
yes.
When he and his junior fellow apprentice left the sect, their master had already been in the middle Nascent Soul stage for many years, and was calculating the time for him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
If he fails to break through, Master will not live long given his age.
But if the master had a breakthrough, he would have communicated with me and my junior brother. How could he suddenly break through? "Don't think I'm bullying you. If it weren't for Elder Shu, would you two be able to take over this medicine shop?"
Li Qing had a sarcastic smile on his face: "There are several shops in the sect. With the same contribution points, how come you brothers can get the shop in Qudan City? It's because you have a good master."
At the street corner, Chu Ning, who heard the conversation, smiled. He saw the anger of the two brothers, but had no intention of intervening.
Although the young man standing at the door of the pharmacy behaved like a villain, he was right in one thing. He got such a good shop with the support of the sect master. I am afraid that other disciples of the sect are also filled with anger.
In his previous life, he had dealt with many local bosses and had seen too many such situations. These local bosses were able to make their fortunes by relying on the influence of their families in the local area and the relationships and backers behind them.
Once their backers fall, these bosses will also be in trouble. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and all their industries will be encroached upon by others.
From the perspective of the families of these bosses, those who take advantage of others’ misfortunes and abuse their power are extremely hateful, but who can give justice to others who were oppressed by these bosses when they started their business? To do business, one should either be honest and not take any crooked paths, so that even if one encounters unfair oppression, there will be a place to appeal.
But he made his fortune by this means, so I can only say that everything goes according to fate.
It was the same when doing business in the previous life, and it is the same when practicing in this life.
Chu Ning believed that if he were one of these two brothers, and knew that his master would not live long, he would either find a new backer or give up the benefits he had gained from his master in advance. Only in this way could he protect himself.
Not intending to take care of this matter, Chu Ning went straight into the gate of Yuxian Tower.

Three months later, Chu Ning returned to Danshan Sect.
"Junior Brother Chu, there is a letter for you."
As soon as he returned to the sect, a senior brother gave him a jade slip.
"The East China Sea is calm now. Miss Tang wrote a letter to herself."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had just returned from Yuxian Tower when he received a letter from Tang Xiaoniu. Even though Tang Xiaoniu was not there, he still felt a little guilty.
I'm ashamed. I really shouldn't have done that.
How could he feel guilty so easily? It seemed that he was not experienced enough. This thing had not been discovered on the spot. Even if Miss Tang was standing in front of him, he had to have a clear conscience.
"Thank you, Brother."
After taking the jade slip, Chu Ning walked towards Nian Tangshan while using his spiritual sense to check the contents of the jade slip.
After a few breaths, Chu Ning stopped, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and went back.
"Brother, when was this jade slip sent?"
"About a month ago."
"A month ago?"
Chu Ning frowned and said nothing more, but he did not think back to Tangshan. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the mountain gate.
"Brother Shu should be able to hold on for a month."
This jade slip was written to him by Senior Brother Shu. Chu Ning was filled with gratitude towards Senior Brother Shu. When he first came to Danyu, Senior Brother Shu helped him a lot. Even the treasures for forming a baby were bought with the help of Senior Brother Shu.
But later on, Senior Brother Shu left Xinhuo Hall and his whereabouts were unknown. Since Senior Brother Shu knew that I had joined Danshan Sect, he must have known about the situation of the rookie competition that year.
"It can't be such a coincidence. The two young men we met at the beginning were Brother Shu's disciples, right?"
