Chapter 287: Re-entering the Secret Realm

In the yard.

Yin Yunyuan stared at Chu Ning with anger on his face.

Yao Xin and others were all shocked.

Got fooled!

This is the thought that emerged in the minds of Yin Yunyuan and others at this moment.

Chu Ning did not appear in the previous two Domain Son Competitions, but suddenly showed up in this one. Like them, he came for Qing Wei, and it is even possible that he had already contacted Qing Wei in advance.

They said something about asking Qingwei to choose their sect, and they said that on purpose, and they foolishly made the promise.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, we need an explanation!"

Yin Yunyuan looked at Chu Ning with a sullen face, and Chu Ning said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Yin, don't worry."

Chu Ning's eyes fell on Qing Wei and he asked curiously, "Why are you following me? I think you should know that the Dan Domain I'm in only recruits alchemists."

"I can be your maid."

After Qing Wei said this, the scene fell silent again.

Yin Yunyuan and others looked at each other. Could it be that the situation was different from what they imagined? Was there a hidden story?

However, after hearing Qing Wei's words, Yao Xin's expression became strange.

She knew that when Chu Ning was in Chengshan Region, although he was already Junior Sister Tang's fiancé, even so, many junior sisters would mention Chu Ning many times when discussing him in private, and their words were full of obvious admiration.

Chu Ning is handsome, has a high talent for cultivation, can make pills, and is low-key and humble. Many female cultivators hope to find a Taoist partner like Chu Ning.

In Yao Xin's heart, Qing Wei might also have admiration for Chu Ning. Although Qing Wei has never met Chu Ning, this does not hinder Chu Ning's status in the hearts of the female cultivators in Chengshan Domain.

Even now, Chu Ning is still admired by many female cultivators in Chengshan Territory.

maid?

Chu Ning was also confused by Qing Wei's words, and muttered to herself, with your aloof appearance, you don't look like you're fit to be a maid.

"Have you and I met?"

"When I first began to awaken my spiritual wisdom, Senior gave me a drop of spiritual fluid, which enabled me to successfully awaken my spiritual wisdom."

Hearing Qing Wei's words, Chu Ning's face showed a look of reminiscence.

After he broke through to the late stage of foundation building in the mountains, he came out of the cave and saw a weed. He felt that the weed was absorbing the spiritual energy he had attracted during his retreat, so he gave it a drop of spiritual liquid.

“Are you the weed?”

In fact, Chu Ning has already confirmed in his heart that Qingwei, “wei” means grass.

"Um."

Qing Wei nodded, and was not unhappy about Chu Ning calling her a weed.

However, the others who heard the conversation between Chu Ning and Qing Wei were shocked by the result.

"So you are not human?"

Yin Yunyuan spoke, and the others also looked at Qingwei with inquiring eyes. Qingwei was only in the early stage of Jindan, and with their level of cultivation, they should be able to see Qingwei's true form.

Qing Wei did not reply. Her delicate face began to glow, and soon several green grass lines appeared on her face.

Seeing the grass patterns on Qingwei's face, Yin Yunyuan and others were disappointed. They had finally discovered a genius, but he was not even human.

Plant spirits belong to the demon race, so the best choice is naturally the Ten Thousand Demons Realm. Even if Qing Wei joins their sect, they don't have the spirit cultivation method.

The most important thing is that from the conversation between the two, it can be heard that this matter really cannot be blamed on Chu Ning.

So, they couldn't break the contract.

"Since the Domain Son Competition is over, we will take our leave now."

Yin Yunyuan and others didn't want to stay any longer. Chu Ning also knew that these people were very annoyed and probably scolded him a lot.

"Okay, I'll see you off, fellow Taoists. I look forward to your return in a hundred years."

Yoon Yoon-won: …

…

After seeing off Yin Yunyuan and others, when Chu Ning returned to the yard, only Qing Wei was still standing in the yard.

Yao Xin and others have already left sensibly.

"I won't take you with me."

Chu Ning's straightforward words made Qing Wei look disappointed.

"You were able to open your spiritual wisdom, not only because of the help of my drop of spiritual fluid, but also because of your own opportunity. I hope you can go further on the path of cultivation and be worthy of this opportunity."

The chance of a weed awakening its intelligence and cultivating into a spirit is so small that it is no exaggeration to say that in a mountain range there may not be a single weed that awakens its intelligence within a thousand years.

Weeds, the word "weeds" represents everything.

"The most suitable place for you to go is the Ten Thousand Monsters Region. I will give you a letter of recommendation. You can go to the Ten Thousand Monsters Region."

Chu Ning looked at Qing Wei. To be honest, it was nice to have a maid. However, it was not easy for Qing Wei, a weed, to cultivate into a spirit and reach her current level. Her life should not be to be a maid.

"Don't be in a hurry to speak, just listen to me finish what I have to say."

Seeing Qingwei’s red lips slightly opened as if she was about to speak, Chu Ning stopped her with a smile.

"That drop of spiritual fluid was very important to you, but it was just a small matter to me. But to be honest, I am surprised that you can cultivate to this level. Besides that, I am also very pleased."

"Since you guessed that it was me back then, you should know my past stories in Chengshan Territory."

"I can recite it by heart." Qing Wei answered immediately.

The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. It seemed that Qing Wei went to the Su family quite often.

"Back then, I was just a poor boy in Daning County. I went to the Huang family to seek help in order to study. The Huang family and my father were colleagues. After hearing the servant's report, he gave me a letter so that I could go to school."

"For Mr. Huang, writing a letter was just a piece of cake, but for me it was a life-changing event. I have always remembered this kindness in my heart. Later, when I finally achieved academic success, I wrote a letter to Mr. Huang to inform him of my recent situation and promised in my heart that I would repay this kindness in the future."

"Mr. Huang wrote back to me. I don't need to think about his kindness. If I really want to repay him, I should continue to work hard and strive to break through to a higher level. Because he was willing to write this letter in the first place, he didn't expect me to achieve much in the future, but just thought of my father's friendship as a colleague."

Seeing Qing Wei pondering, Chu Ning sighed inwardly. In order to persuade Qing Wei, he had to change the things between himself and Huang Zhongtai.

"Do you understand what I mean by this?"

Qing Wei thought for a while, raised her head slightly, and said, "I understand."

"Whether you really understand or not, I just want to tell you that you don't need to repay me for this casual action. If you really want to repay me, then practice harder. If one day you become a demon king, it will be a good story for me to talk about this with others."

"Okay, I will practice hard."

Qing Wei nodded heavily. She understood what Senior Chu meant.

The stronger I become in my cultivation, the more I repay Senior Chu, because when others mention me, they will think of Senior Chu.

In the end, Chu Ning gave Qingwei a jade slip. With this jade slip, Qingwei could go to the Ten Thousand Demons Realm to find the Black Dragon King.

Chu Ning did not ask Qing Wei how he cultivated to the Golden Core Realm. This was Qing Wei's secret. Of course, he believed that as long as he asked, Qing Wei would definitely answer.

After seeing Qing Wei off, Chu Ning did not continue to stay in Feilong City. Although Yao Xin said that the cultivators in Chengshan Domain all hoped that he could show up in public once, Chu Ning finally refused.

Too much is as bad as too little.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After leaving Feilong City, Chu Ning returned to the Black Mountain area again.

A few months later.

There were energy fluctuations coming from the valley behind the Black Mountain. Chu Ning's figure disappeared in the Black Mountain, and when he reappeared, he was already in the valley.

After many years, the valley was filled with souls again. Chu Ning took out the soul-capturing bracelet, and in just three breaths, all the souls in the valley were completely absorbed.

As his realm increased, the power of the Soul-Capture Bracelet doubled, and even the speed of absorbing souls increased dozens of times.

Ten breaths later, Chu Ning returned to the stone door again.

There were still three or five souls floating out of the stone gate. Chu Ning did not use the soul-catching bracelet to absorb these souls, but instead made a hand gesture, and the Qingshan Armor appeared again to protect his whole body.

The next moment, Chu Ning stepped into the stone gate.

…

desolate!

Looking at the ruins around him, the first thought that came to Chu Ning's mind was these two words.

Inside the stone gate, there were ruins underfoot, and in the distance there were broken mountains and rivers. The entire secret realm seemed to have suffered a devastating blow.

Chu Ning's body slowly rose up and looked into the distance. A peak tens of thousands of feet high just fell horizontally on the ground, breaking into several pieces, and cutting some rivers into several sections.

The scene was devastated, desolate and silent.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes. Was this secret realm destroyed by someone?

So, are these souls the people who originally lived in the secret realm? Chu Ning flew quickly over the land, but even when he was flying, he was on full alert. After three days, all he saw was a scene of desolation.

"Is this a battle between powerful people? But what level of powerful people can cause such great destruction?"

A powerful god? I'm afraid I can't do it.

Chu Ning was not flying without a purpose. He was following the direction where the souls were floating from.

Along the way, souls appeared and floated from the front.

Two days later, Chu Ning's body suddenly paused, and the Golden Crow Transformation into Rainbow Technique was instantly performed. He retreated several miles away before stopping.

At the place where his body was before, a bright sword light flashed across the ground. If he had not reacted in time to dodge, the sword light would have fallen on him.

Anyone?

The Qingshan Armor on Chu Ning's body was stretched to its limit, his spiritual sense spread over, and then there was a look of surprise on his face.

The sword light just now was not cast by a cultivator, but was the sword light emitted automatically by a long sword.

The long sword is stuck in the ground.

"A sword that attacks autonomously, could it be a Yuanqi?"

No matter whether it is a spiritual weapon or a magic weapon, as long as it is not something special, such as a general sword, it will not actively launch an attack as long as the original owner is not there, but Yuanqi is an exception.

The Yuanqi, to some extent, already has self-awareness. Even if it is out of the control of the original owner, it can still exert its power on its own.

Chu Ning slapped the storage bag, and the puppet flew out and headed towards the sword.

This time, the long sword did not emit any sword light.

"So this sword emits sword light because it senses living beings?"

Chu Ning patted the storage bag again, and several snow-white butterflies surrounded him.

"go!"

With a shout, the butterflies flew towards the sword, but this time the sword still did not emit any sword light.

The butterflies flew back to his side, and Chu Ning put them back into his storage bag. These butterflies were ice crystal butterflies.

The Ice Crystal Butterfly sheds its cocoon once every ten years, during which time it sheds ice crystals. Ice crystals are often used in both alchemy and refining.

Chu Ning had a guess in his mind and slowly approached the sword again until he was only ten feet away from the sword. Only then did he feel relieved.

It seems that his final judgment was correct. The sword light just now should be the last energy remaining in the sword.

"rise!"

Chu Ning raised his right hand, and the surging spiritual power wrapped around the hilt of the sword, preparing to lift the sword. However, the spiritual power automatically dissipated when it touched the hilt.

This happened three times. Every time the spiritual power touched the sword, it dissipated. There was curiosity in Chu Ning's eyes.

Does this long sword have the function of dispelling spiritual power? After a moment of silence, Chu Ning formed seals with his hands. This time, with the long sword as the center, he lifted up the land within a radius of one mile, and then put the soil and the long sword into the storage bag together.

He would not touch the sword until he was sure of its origin. Fortunately, his storage bag was a high-end product bought from Sihai Trading Company and could hold so much dirt.

After putting away the sword, Chu Ning continued to walk forward. The further he walked forward, the more solemn his expression became. There were no longer only ruins on the ground, but also broken weapons.

So, is he approaching the center of the battlefield? (End of this chapter)
