Chapter 100: Unexpected Misfortune (Additional chapter thanks to everyone for their suggestions)

"Junior Sister Tang, whose letter is this? Why are you so nervous?"

Liu Yi joked with a smile.

She was sure that the letter was not from Junior Sister Tang's family, because Junior Sister Tang's family lived at the foot of the sect's mountain, so there was no need to use Feixun.

Fetion.

It is a means for monks to communicate over long distances, and the families that run this business all have a gold medal of immunity from war.

Because no one can guarantee that it won’t be used in the future.

Therefore, as long as these families who can tame flying beasts do not actively participate in some disputes, no matter what changes in the power in the area they are in, it will not affect them.

"I asked the messenger, and it's not that close, and the fee alone is thirty spirit stones."

“So expensive?”

Tang Ruowei frowned. Thirty spirit stones were nothing to her. As soon as she entered the sect, she was accepted as a disciple by the elder. In addition to the pills, she could also get two hundred spirit stones every month.

This was given by the sect, plus the monthly allowance from the master, it was almost five hundred spirit stones. After all, she was the only disciple the master had accepted in the past few decades.

However, just because she has no shortage of spirit stones doesn't mean she doesn't understand the situation of the lower-level cultivators.

Take their Xiyue Sect for example, the average inner disciple only earns a hundred spirit stones and pills a month.

The outer disciples had even less, only 30 spirit stones a month. These spirit stones were not enough to buy elixirs, so they could only complete some tasks assigned by the sect to exchange points for elixirs.

"This idiot would rather spend thirty spirit stones to write me a letter than come to see me."

After listening to Senior Sister Liu Yi's words, Tang Ruowei's dissatisfaction with Chu Ning for not coming to see her faded a little, and she even felt a little sweet in her heart.

"Senior Sister, I have something to do so I have to leave first."

Seeing Tang Ruowei leaving, Liu Yi muttered, "It seems that Junior Sister Tang has found someone she loves. Many of the brothers and sisters in the sect are probably heartbroken. However, since he can use the letter, the male cultivator that Junior Sister Tang likes should also be a disciple of a major sect."

Tang Ruowei returned to her room and carefully read the contents of Chu Ning's letter. She whispered, "This guy is really something. He didn't come to me until he had established his foundation. Your talent is not worse than mine, but you still made a bet with me. He must be trying to set me up on purpose."

In Tang Ruowei's heart, Chu Ning's talent is higher than hers.

In the letter, Chu Ning talked about making a bet, and also stipulated that whoever builds the foundation first, the one who builds the foundation later must agree to three things of the one who built the foundation first. It was clearly intentional, just to make me agree to the three things.

"Let's gamble. Master also said that with my aptitude, I will be able to make rapid progress in practicing the sect's Sun and Moon Skills. I will be able to build my foundation in just five years."

Five years.

It is a long time for mortals, but it is nothing for monks.

Thinking about building her foundation in five years and going to Wenjin City, and seeing Chu Ning's surprised look in front of her, Tang Ruowei couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

…

…

Time passes.

Chu Ning's ten years calendar.

"Shopkeeper, this is our store's revenue this month."

“So little?”

Chu Ning took the bag of spirit stones handed to him by the shop assistant and felt the weight. There were only fifty spirit stones in it at most.

Ever since the shop was managed by someone sent by Qin Shan a year ago, he has been staying in the backyard all day making pills and then collecting dividends every month.

In the first month, I could receive a dividend of 200 spirit stones, but it decreased every month thereafter, and now there is only 30 left.

"Boss, business is not good right now. Several major forces in Kaoshan City have been at war recently. The price of medicinal materials has risen a lot. The purchase price is higher, but the selling price has not increased. Isn't it true that the profit is less?"

Listening to Wang Hu's words, Chu Ning sneered. Wang Hu thought he was a fool.

Many of the medicinal herbs in the store were indeed imported from Kaoshan City, and the major forces that controlled Kaoshan City were indeed at war, but the prices of the medicinal herbs not only did not rise but fell instead.

Because those major forces are in urgent need of spirit stones to purchase elixirs to improve the combat effectiveness of their disciples, as long as they buy in large quantities, the price will be favorable.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Chu Ning endured it, even though he knew that Wang Hu's action might not be instructed by Qin Shan, but that he thought he was easy to bully and deliberately enriched himself.

But the root of the problem still lies with Qin Shan. If he deals with Wang Hu himself, Qin Shan will think that it is dissatisfaction with him.

Seeing Chu Ning returning to the backyard, Wang Hu's eyes showed disdain. So what if he was in the late stage of Qi Condensation.

Qin Shan is her brother-in-law, and her sister is the concubine her brother-in-law took in after he established his foundation. In terms of closeness, she is naturally closer to him.

[Boy, this is too frustrating. I would have killed him with my tail. He is just in the middle stage of Qi Condensation.]

The black snake wrote quickly on Chu Ning's arm. Chu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "He is just a villain who has achieved his goal. If you really want to do something, you can. When he leaves at night, follow him and beat him to death."

[Forget it, since you can bear it yourself, why should I, Master Snake, join in the fun? ]

"You know Wang Hu is Qin Shan's brother-in-law, so you don't dare to do it."

Chu Ning knew what Black Snake was thinking, and the reason why he knew Wang Hu was Qin Shan's brother-in-law was not because Wang Hu told him, but because he used the mirror to look at Wang Hu, and the mirror showed Wang Hu's complete experience, including that his sister was taken as a concubine last year.

By comparing the time, it was deduced that it was the month when Qin Shan successfully built his foundation.

Chu Ning has experimented with this mirror several times over the past few years and discovered that if used on people of the same level as him, it will display partial information, but for people who are not as strong as him, it will display more comprehensive information.

He has not yet tried anything at a higher level than himself.

"Put up with him for a few more years, and after you build your foundation, slap this kid to death."

…

Half a year later.

Chu Ning was refining medicine in the backyard when he suddenly felt palpitations and immediately stopped refining the medicine.

When he walked out of the alchemy room, he saw a layer of yellow light in the sky, covering the entire inner city.

Is this asking if Jin Zong has activated the inner city formation?

Chu Ning was a little surprised, and when he walked to the door of the shop, he found that many monks were looking up at the sky with confused expressions. It was obvious that these monks didn't know what was going on.

"We are cleaning up the traitors in this city. We are temporarily banning people from entering or leaving. There is no need to panic."

There was a sound from the sky, like a spring thunder.

This is the voice of a powerful Jindan master.

Then Chu Ning saw several streaks of light in the sky quickly fleeing from the inner city towards the outer city.

Although these streaks of light were fast, the following sword light was even faster.

A giant golden sword slashed down and directly swallowed up the streams of light. The sword light fell on the ground, and several unlucky monks were killed.

On the ground, there was only a sword pit several dozen feet long.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When the many monks in the market saw this scene, they fell into complete silence.

This is the power of a Jindan strongman.

Chu Ning's body also trembled slightly, but it was not because he was shocked by the power of this Jindan strongman, but because he saw the death of those innocent monks.

Obviously, in the eyes of that Jindan strongman, those escaped Foundation Establishment cultivators were his targets. As for those Qi Condensation cultivators on the ground, it would be their bad luck if they died.

"So, even if I don't take the initiative to cause trouble, if I am like these monks, I may suffer an unexpected disaster one day."

This scene gave Chu Ning a shocking feeling.

For the first time, he felt that his idea of ​​practicing slowly and quietly seemed to be wrong.

In the Liang Dynasty, because people's life span was short and there was a stable power system, their lives could be guaranteed as long as they did not take the initiative to cause trouble.

But in the world of cultivating immortals, this law is no longer applicable.

After practicing Taoism for a long time, many powerful people have become indifferent to human life.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Ning turned around and looked at Wang Hu, who was standing there in a daze, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Wang Hu was stunned, not only because he was shocked by the power of the sword, but more importantly, one of the figures who had just fled to the outer city was Qin Shan.

"Chu... Shopkeeper Chu."

Feeling Chu Ning's murderous gaze, Wang Hu's face turned pale and his tone no longer had the arrogance of the past.

"You can go die now."

Chu Ning shot out a stream of spiritual energy, which directly pierced through Wang Hu's head.

Now that Qin Shan is dead, there is no need for him to put up with Wang Hu.

"Old Black, do you think we will be implicated?"

After killing Wang Hu, Chu Ning returned to the shop with a gloomy expression.

Wen Jincheng had blocked off the inner city, so he couldn't run away. The whole market knew that he was Qin Shan's benefactor. If Wen Jincheng tried to implicate others, he would probably be implicated as well.

Qin Shan, is this how you repay your benefactor?

[I am not a Taoist priest from Mount Sanqing, who can predict the future. How can I know what those strong men from Wenjin Sect are thinking? However, it is okay that you killed Wang Hu in the street. At least it shows that you and Qin Shan are not of the same mind. Besides, the so-called benefactor is actually just a transaction. It depends on how the strong men from Wenjin Sect understand it.]

"It's optional to sentence someone or not. If you do it well, there's no problem."

Chu Ning actually knew what was going on, but when people are in danger, they will subconsciously look for someone to discuss it with.

Killing Wang Hu was his first step.

"Tell me the truth, with our combined strength, how far can we go?"

[If you and I join forces, you attack first and I attack by surprise. We may be able to sneak up on the cultivator who has just entered the foundation-building stage.]

This answer made Chu Ning a little disappointed, but it was also expected.

"It seems that we can only wait and see what Wen Jinzong decides to do next. I just don't know who the traitor Wen Jincheng is talking about is?"

Qin Shan and other powerful foundation-building masters can be considered traitors, but they are definitely not the leaders.

There are powerful Jindan masters in Wenjin City. Qin Shan would not become a traitor unless he is crazy. There must be a powerful person close to Jindan or even at Jindan level supporting him.

Two days later.

Four cultivators in the late Qi Condensation stage came into the shop.

From the clothes of the four people, it can be seen that they are all outer disciples of the Wenjin Sect.

Chu Ning did not resist and followed the four men.

Because Wen Jinzong has not yet solved the blockade of the inner city, even if these four people are killed, they cannot escape.

However, Chu Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would not be executed.

If someone wanted to kill me, based on the style of that Jindan expert back then, he would have done it right away.

Following these disciples of Wen Jin Sect, Chu Ning soon saw some familiar faces.

Wow, we all drank together at the same table. There were five of us, including myself, who attended the Qinshan Foundation Building Banquet.
