Chapter 289: Meeting for the first time at Xiyue Mountain Gate, seeing Chu Ning ruined her life

Desolate land.

Zenyi looked at the puppet in his hand, then looked at the empty earth.

That's really his style.

People leave traces when they pass by, while wild geese pluck feathers when they pass by.

This man never leaves for nothing.

If it weren't for the temptation of benefits, this person would never have stepped into the tomb of the soul cultivator.

"Holy Son, has anyone you know been here before?"

An old monk saw his son's expression changing so much and couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

Zen nodded, and his words made the two old monks look shocked.

The identity of his own Saint Son is extraordinary. Could he be an acquaintance of the Saint Son? Could he be a senior? Chan Yi knew that his protector had misunderstood, but he did not explain that the trip to Chengshan Domain was related to the secret of his cultivation.

"Holy Son, where is this place?"

The two old monks looked around the land. Although they had no souls, with their level of cultivation, they could feel that a great war had taken place here.

"This place should be some ancient ruined realm."

Chan Yi's words moved the two old men again, but they did not ask any more questions. The ancient realm was a taboo and could not be touched without reaching a certain level.

"Thank you, Saint Son, for clearing up my doubts."

The two old monks bowed to express their gratitude, but Chan Yi looked in the direction where Chu Ning came in. But in just a moment, Chan Yi's pupils shrank and there was a hint of red in his pupils.

"Are there still powerful people left here?"

Zenyi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he regained his clarity of mind.

…

…

As Chu Ning stepped out of the stone gate, he heard a crisp clicking sound behind him. When he turned around, the stone gate suddenly shattered and turned into a pile of rubble on the ground.

Looking at the rubble on the ground, Chu Ning sighed in his heart. So when these souls disappeared, the world inside the secret realm lost its meaning of existence.

After coming out of the valley, Chu Ning did not go to Liang Chaoji's house again.

For a grand event like the Domain Prince Competition, if my cheap disciple Ji Banan is still alive and in Chengshan Domain, he should know the news. Then, if he wants to find me, there are only two places.

One is to return to the Ji family, and the other is to go to Xiyue Sect.

Chu Ning went to the Ji family and did not find that Ji Banyan had come back. Then he went to Xiyue Sect again and learned from Yao Xin that many people wanted to see him, but Ji Banyan was not one of them.

As for those monks who wanted to see him, in Yao Xin's words, his deeds gave them courage. He had asked Huang Zhongtai for a letter of admission to the academy, and these monks also wanted to ask him to give them a chance.

Most of these people are alchemists, and what they want is for me to recommend them to go to the Alchemy Domain.

In their opinion, they were able to change their fate because they found Huang Zhongtai and entered the school, which gave them everything they have now.

They wanted to emulate themselves and ask for a chance to enter the Dan Realm.

“Everyone wants to be the next you, and they think you shouldn’t say no to them.”

Yao Xin looked at Chu Ning with a smile. In the minds of these alchemists, Chu Ning had come this far, so they would be more willing to give them a chance.

"I don't have time to meet them. If you think there is an alchemist with good talent, you can give them a jade slip."

Chu Ning left two jade slips for Yao Xin.

One is the assessment jade slip for the Alchemy Realm, just like the jade slip he used at the beginning. As long as it is crushed and used to make the elixir, it can be seen by the Xinhuo Hall.

He also learned some information about the situation at Xinhuo Hall from his master. Because of his own affairs, Danta had punished several people. Now Senior Sun is the newest person in charge of Xinhuo Hall.

Don't judge by appearances, but by appearances. As long as it's not too bad, Senior Sun will at least give it a D grade. Danta will not investigate this matter strictly due to human relations.

What Danta would care about is that it has made a wrong judgment on an excellent and talented alchemist. As for giving a slightly higher rating, having one or two more foreign cultivators in the Dan domain will not have any impact on the entire Dan domain.

"This jade slip is the recommendation slip of Danshan Sect. With this jade slip, you can enter Danyu and go to Danshan Sect, and directly participate in the entrance examination of Danshan Sect."

Chu Ning explained to Yao Xin the purpose of the second jade slip. It was given to him by his master before he came out. All the disciples of Danshan Sect who are away from home carry this kind of jade slip with them. If they find any good talents, they can let them go to the sect for assessment.

"I thank you on behalf of the alchemist of Chengshan Territory."

Yao Xin put away the two jade slips. Chu Ning gave them to her as an opportunity to increase the reputation and favors of Xiyue Sect.

No matter who gets the two jade slips in the end, both of them must remember the Xiyue Sect’s kindness.

"You and Junior Sister Tang now?"

Seeing that Chu Ning was about to get up and leave, Yao Xin asked curiously.

There has been no news from Junior Sister Tang for all these years.

She was afraid that something might happen between Chu Ning and Junior Sister Tang, although the possibility was very small.

"She is in the East Sea. There has been a storm in the East Sea recently. Even the powerful gods dare not move around easily."

After Chu Ning explained, Yao Xin finally felt relieved.

"I haven't seen Junior Sister Tang for a long time. I thought it would be great if I could see Junior Sister Tang once more before I leave."

"There will be a chance."

Chu Ning comforted Yao Xin, saying that Yao Xin still had one or two hundred years to live, the sea storm in the East China Sea was almost over, and Miss Tang should return to Chengshan.

"After all these years, have you ever thought about finding a Taoist partner?"

"You are already quite old, why are you looking for a Taoist partner? Please don't joke with me like this."

Chu Ning did not continue the topic. Everyone has their own choices. Perhaps for Yao Xin, a Taoist partner was not what she was looking for.

"Take care of yourself."

"You too."

Yao Xin watched Chu Ning leave at the top of Yuefeng Mountain in Xiyue Sect, but Chu Ning's previous question kept coming to his mind.

Why didn't she find a Taoist partner after all these years? She had thought about finding a Taoist partner before, but every time she met the male cultivators introduced by her senior sisters, Chu Ning would appear in her mind. She would compare the male cultivators with Chu Ning, and then she would lose interest.

They first met at Xiyue Mountain Gate, and that first sight of Chu Ning ruined his life.

The senior and junior sisters in the sect all have Chu Ning in their hearts, and so does she?

If it weren't for Chu Ning, she would have been just a foundation-building cultivator, unable to even avenge her family's hatred, let alone entering the Golden Core stage and then the Nascent Soul stage.

Compared to those sisters, she was the most emotional.

But she suppressed this feeling deep in her heart.

"Not only me, but the eldest daughter of the Xu family is also probably secretly in love with him. However, she is better than me and has gone to the Central Region. She will have the opportunity to meet Chu Ning in the future."

Yao Xin laughed at herself. She didn't have the courage, so she could only stay in Xiyue Sect and guard the cave where Chu Ning once lived.

…

…

Skyfire Domain.

Ranked twenty-second among the sixty-four lower domains.

A flying boat appeared from the crack in the sky and then headed towards a palace.

When the flying boat stopped above the palace, everyone below immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at the flying boat. The next moment, they saw a handsome young man walking out of the flying boat.

The people below looked at the young man with respect on their faces. He was a powerful man in the late Nascent Soul stage, most likely from the Danyu's Danshan Sect.

"Brother Chu, please come in."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the main hall, an old man looked at Chu Ning who walked in with a smile and said, "I have received the sect's notification a long time ago and have been looking forward to Junior Brother Chu's arrival."

Liu Daohui felt Chu Ning's realm and there was surprise in his eyes. He had inquired about it when he received the sect's notification. At that time, Junior Brother Chu was still in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but now Junior Brother Chu is already in the late stage.

It seems that Junior Brother Chu broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage during these few decades.

Liu Daohui inquired about the news because he didn't understand why Chu Ning came here to take over from him.

With Junior Brother Chu's talent in alchemy, the training of Elder Qi and the attention of the sect, he will not lack resources at all.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chu, for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Liu Daohui didn't dare to be arrogant towards Chu Ning. Although they were all in the late Nascent Soul stage, there was still a gap between the late Nascent Soul disciples.

People like him who came to the lower realm to complete the sect's mission have no backing and no background, and it is not easy for him to get to this point. And for Junior Brother Chu, the late Nascent Soul stage is nothing. With Junior Brother Chu's talent for alchemy, the sect will definitely find a way to make him become a god.

I came to Tianhuo Territory to earn contribution points, while others came here just to gain experience and gild themselves.

"Senior Brother Liu, you are too polite. Master told me before I came here that Senior Brother Liu has made many contributions to the sect and is a meritorious official of the sect."

Liu Daohui's face turned red as he listened to Chu Ning's words. If it weren't for the lack of resources, who would be willing to work hard for contribution points?

The more contribution points one has, the more powerful he is.

This is a point recognized by the sect's disciples, and he himself is the famous ox and horse.

As for Junior Brother Chu's statement that his master would mention him, Liu Daohui knew that this was just Junior Brother Chu's polite remark. Who is Junior Brother Chu's master? It is Elder Qi.

Elder Qi is not only a genius in alchemy, but also a genius in cultivation. He created the record for the shortest breakthrough from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritual Transformation stage in the sect's history.

Not to mention mentioning myself, it’s not certain whether Elder Qi knows that the sect has a disciple like me.

"I am ashamed to hear Elder Qi say this."

…

The two of them praised each other for a few words, and then Liu Daohui introduced the situation to Chu Ning.

The Tianhuo Region is about the size of three Chengshan Regions. It is dotted with many sects, three of which are the strongest. Each sect has a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge.

These three sects are also related to Danshan Sect, and disciples from the three sects joined Danshan Sect many years ago.

However, for Chu Ning and Liu Daohui, the sects and forces in the Tianhuo Domain have little to do with them. The Danshan Sect arranged for disciples to settle in this domain mainly to obtain the Tianhuo Mine.

The name of Tianhuo Domain comes from the sky fire.

There is an area of ​​thunder in the Sky Fire Domain. Every hundred years, these thunders will form Sky Fire. After a hundred years, the flames will go out, and those things burned by the Sky Fire will turn into Sky Fire Ore.

Tianhuo Mine is a precious material for alchemy and refining, and is also one of the sources of income for Danshan Sect.

Although Danshan Sect is a sect in the Central Region, it is able to control the Sky Fire Region. The other sects in the Central Region will not object because there will be riots in that Thunder Region.

Back then, these thunders almost destroyed the entire Tianhuo Region. In the end, it was the strong men from Danshan Sect who suppressed them.

The responsibility of Danshan Sect is to guard the Sky Fire Region and prevent the Sky Fire from raging.

The task that fell on Chu Ning was to monitor the situation of the heavenly fire and report to the sect immediately if there were any signs of something wrong.

"Junior Brother Chu, that's about it. I have recorded some more details in the jade slip for you. You will understand after reading it."

After Liu Daohui finished talking with Chu Ning, he couldn't wait to leave. The spiritual energy in the Sky Fire Domain was only one tenth of that in the Dan Domain. He now had to prepare for the Spirit Transformation and could not waste any time.

Chu Ning saw Liu Daohui off and had just finished reading the contents of the jade slip when a middle-aged man walked into the hall.

"Palace Master, the Xuandu Sect, the Sun Sword Sect, and the Jinyu Sect have sent us invitations. Upon learning of your arrival, they have already prepared a banquet to welcome you."

As for why the man called himself the Palace Master, Chu Ning had already learned the answer from the jade slip.

Every disciple of Danshan Sect who comes to Tianhuo Region is the new hall master of Danshan Hall. The other people in Danshan Hall do not belong to Danshan Sect, but are transferred from various sects in Tianhuo Region to serve the hall master.

Don't underestimate these service positions. The various factions are competing fiercely for these positions because, to some extent, they represent the Danshan Sect, which is a bit like an imperial envoy.

"Turn it off for me and say that I just arrived and need to understand the situation."

Chu Ning refused calmly. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Palace Master, every new Palace Master would attend the banquet in the past. The sincerity of the three sects is very strong."

Qian Cheng said this because he was afraid that the new hall master didn't know the trick and thought it was just a simple welcoming ceremony.

Every time a new hall master arrives, the three sects of Xuandu will prepare a generous gift.

“No need.”

Chu Ning glanced at Qian Cheng indifferently, and just this one glance made Qian Cheng's heart tremble. He didn't dare to say anything more, and walked out of the hall with his head down.

"These three factions are somewhat confused about the priorities."

Looking at Qian Cheng's departing back, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. The three sects were so eager to host a banquet for him and even prepared generous gifts. Even if Senior Brother Liu didn't mention it, he knew the trick at once.

The mining of the Tianhuo Mine is carried out by these three factions, and it is certain that there will be some ulterior motives among them.

I prepare generous gifts for myself because I am afraid that I, the newcomer, will discover these tricks, so I prepare to use the generous gifts to shut myself up in advance.

Chu Ning didn't come here to purge. If he investigated, wouldn't all the previous hall masters be punished by the sect? When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.

It is not easy for ordinary disciples like Senior Brother Liu, who are not particularly valued by the elders, to obtain resources in order to break through their realm.

If he really conducted a thorough investigation, it would be tantamount to offending all the ordinary disciples of Danshan Sect, which was not in line with his style of dealing with people.

For the sake of his own plan to breed mountain souls, he had to first warn the three factions so that they would not dare to act too recklessly, at least during his term of office.

He didn't have time to keep watching. The main purpose of coming to the Sky Fire Region was to cultivate the mountain soul.
