Chapter 114: Disciple, You Don’t Need to Be So Cautious

Ask about the current city.

Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi did not stay in the pharmacy.

The two decided to go out and find out about the man named Chu Ning.

Huang Xiuchun, in particular, always felt that Junior Sister Tang was not telling the truth. This Chu Ning might not be a casual cultivator, and should have some background.

Or just like Junior Sister Tang, she was noticed by a Jindan master like Uncle Master and was directly accepted as a disciple.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi, who had found out the results of the investigation, fell silent at the same time.

Chu Ning is very famous in Wen Jincheng.

All of Chu Ning's deeds after entering Wenjin City were dug out by the monks in the city.

At the edge of the inner city, the two women didn't know what to say when they saw the house where many cultivators in the early stage of Qi Condensation were visiting.

"This is the house where Senior Chu used to live. Senior Chu is in the late stage of Qi Condensation, why is he still living here?"

"It is said that when Senior Chu first arrived in Wenjin City, he was penniless. If it were other seniors in the late stage of Qi Condensation, how could they lower their dignity to live here, but Senior Chu dared to do so."

These young monks were visiting here. After Chu Ning won the first place in alchemy, this house was no longer for people to live in. Instead, it was opened to the public for exhibition. To enter and visit, one had to pay a fee of one spirit stone.

One spirit stone is not cheap for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Condensation, but even so, there is still an endless stream of cultivators coming to visit.

Because Chu Ning gave them hope.

At this moment, there was a woman in green skirt who was leading a group of cultivators in the early and even middle stages of Qi Condensation, explaining what happened when Chu Ning lived here.

"When Senior Chu first moved in, he practiced alchemy day and night. The fire in the furnace was so strong that we who lived next door could feel it."

"Do you think that Senior Chu has come this far only by relying on his talent? You are wrong. Have you ever seen the cold dew at three in the morning?"

This kind of explanation requires an additional payment of a spirit stone, and Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi were both moved.

"Junior Sister Tang didn't lie. Chu Ning really worked his way up from the bottom."

Every foundation-building cultivator, even disciples from a sect, who can cultivate to the foundation-building stage has put in efforts that ordinary people have never put in.

These alone were not enough to move the two. What moved them was Chu Ning's subsequent experience.

After selling his life span for ten years, he finally turned his life around, but was implicated and became a slave to alchemy. Later, he made a splash in the alchemist competition.

"Senior Chu is where he is today because of his own hard work. If Senior Chu didn't make pills, he would have become a pill slave and died."

The words of the female cultivator in green skirt made Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi feel ashamed.

yes.

Every turn of events is the result of a long struggle.

"The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains. Now Senior Chu is far ahead of the younger generation of alchemists. Today's explanation ends here. Sophie is also here to encourage all Taoist friends."

Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi walked back in silence.

"Senior Sister Huang, this time you come to ask Jincheng, Uncle Master should have given you some instructions."

Liu Yi looked at Huang Xiuchun, and Huang Xiuchun nodded without hiding anything: "Master's uncle originally intended to let Junior Sister Tang give the foundation-building pill to end this relationship."

"So what now? Senior Sister Huang, do you think we should end this relationship with Junior Sister Tang?"

Huang Xiuchun was silent when facing Liu Yi's question. The next moment, she said unhappily, "Junior Sister Liu, you are asking knowingly. What's the matter? If you want to be the villain, I can let you do it."

Originally, the uncle wanted Tang Ruowei to break up the relationship because he was afraid that Chu Ning was not talented enough and was not worthy of his own sister.

It's not out of snobbery, but from a practical perspective, this is good for both Chu Ning and Junior Sister Tang.

A mortal's life span is only a few decades, so they may not care about some sectarian prejudices, but a monk cannot ignore the issue of lifespan.

The more talented the cultivator is, the more times he will practice in seclusion and the longer the time will be, because he needs to sprint to a higher level.

The sooner you break through, the higher level you can reach in the future.

If Chu Ning's talent is not good, then will Junior Sister Tang practice in seclusion? Not to mention the Jindan stage, even in the late stage of foundation building, it is common to practice in seclusion for ten years. If Chu Ning's talent is not good and his life span is limited, then will Junior Sister Tang practice in seclusion? I am afraid that after three or five times of seclusion, Chu Ning's life span will come to an end.

But if you don't practice hard in seclusion, no matter how good your talent is, it will be wasted in the end.

But the current situation is that Chu Ning’s talent is not bad. He has successfully established his foundation and is also a very talented alchemist.

Even within the sect, the younger generation couldn't find a better junior brother than Chu Ning.

If the uncle knew Chu Ning's talent, he would definitely not stop Junior Sister Tang and Chu Ning.

"I'll do it if I want. Senior Sister Huang doesn't want to be the bad guy, so let me do it."

Huang Xiuchun raised his eyebrows at Liu Yi's words. Seriously? "I will give this foundation-building pill to Chu Ning when the time comes. After all, this is a token of love from Junior Sister Tang."

Liu Yi smiled slyly, and Huang Xiuchun also reacted.

Indeed, before the words are spoken, it can be resolved in any way. It used to be a severance of relationship, but now it can become a token of love.

"Chu Ning's talent for alchemy is so high. Maybe I will have to ask him for help in the future. I'm going to establish a good relationship with him now. Thank you, Senior Sister Huang, for giving me this opportunity."

Huang Xiuchun smiled, but did not argue with Liu Yi. Liu Yi was in the middle stage of foundation building, and with Chu Ning's talent for alchemy, he could indeed refine pills that she could use. However, she was already in the late stage of foundation building, and the pills that Chu Ning could refine now were of little use to her.

…

…

An hour later, Chu Ning walked out of the room holding Tang Ruowei's hand.

The girl's eyes were red, and she was infected by Chu Ning's experience. Chu Ning told her about the anxious experience after becoming a Dan slave.

Living in fear and trying to survive...

If he hadn't thought about the girl waiting for him far away, he would have given up on himself long ago.

In her excitement, the girl didn't notice that someone's evil claws had reached out to her, or maybe she noticed it but didn't knock it away.

If the devil's claws had not been too strong in the end, causing the little girl to flee in panic, Chu Ning estimated that he could have continued talking for another day and night.

Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei came out, and Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi just came back.

The timing was just right.

"Chu Ning, let me introduce you. This is my Senior Sister Huang, and this is Senior Sister Liu."

Seeing Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi, Tang Ruowei felt a little embarrassed. She tried to pull her hand out of Chu Ning's hand but failed. In the end, she had to speak with a blushing face.

"Chu Ning has met Senior Sister Huang and Senior Sister Liu."

It's time to strike the snake while the stick is still there. It won't be wrong to follow Tang Ruowei's lead.

Huang Xiuchun nodded but did not respond. Responding would mean that she acknowledged the affair between Chu Ning and Junior Sister Tang. In her opinion, this matter required the approval of her uncle.

Liu Yi didn't have so many thoughts. He smiled and said, "I thought Junior Sister Tang was amazing enough. I just took a tour of the inner city and heard a lot about Junior Brother Chu. I didn't expect that such a small Liang Dynasty could produce two geniuses."

I can accept that you mentioned two geniuses, but luckily you didn't mention Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

Chu Ning muttered to himself and replied, "I am not a genius at all. I just rely on my own efforts and diligent practice."

"Junior Brother Chu, there is no need to be modest. Your talent for alchemy cannot be achieved through hard work. Maybe in the future, when I need elixirs, I will ask Junior Brother Chu to help me make them."

Liu Yi didn't wait for Chu Ning to reply, and suddenly sighed again, looking at Tang Ruowei: "What a pity."

Tang Ruowei: “?”

"It's a pity that our Junior Sister Tang worked so hard to ask Uncle Master for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but in the end it has no place to use it."

"Ah, you asked for the Foundation Establishment Pill for me?"

Chu Ning looked at Tang Ruowei. Tang Ruowei was a little embarrassed, and her voice became as small as a mosquito: "I originally planned to beat you up and then compensate you with a foundation-building pill."

Beat me up and give me a foundation-building pill as compensation?

Isn't this just like being slapped in the face on the street and then picking up your phone to contact the salesperson to pick up your new car?

There is such a good thing? This is a favor from Miss Tang.

Chu Ning held Tang Ruowei's hand tightly and decided not to use Tang Xiaoniu as a unit of measurement anymore.

"Two senior sisters, why don't you come with me and ask Jin Feng to sit with you? It just so happens that my master is about to come out of retreat."

Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi became serious when they heard this. They already knew who Chu Ning's master was.

Ask the fifth elder of the current sect, a third-grade alchemist in the middle stage of the golden elixir.

In the Xiyue Sect, he is also a top figure. Moreover, although the Xiyue Sect has powerful Jindan masters, it does not have a third-grade alchemist.

Tang Ruowei naturally would not have any objection. Huang Xiuchun thought a lot. Since Junior Sister Tang and Chu Ning were a good match, the marriage must be settled, and Chu Ning's master must be met.

The group of four headed towards Wenjin Peak. They had a smooth journey and soon arrived at Chu Ning's cave on the mountain.

Chu Ning later opened up a cave for himself, right next to his master's cave. He did not live in the wooden house. Since it was where his eldest brother lived, he stayed there to leave a memory for his master.

The formation of the cave was arranged by Xie Shouping himself, and it is impossible to break the formation unless you reach the Jindan realm.

Looking from outside the formation, only a layer of mist could be seen. When Chu Ning opened the formation and saw the situation in the cave, Tang Ruowei opened her mouth slightly, and even Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi were shocked.

Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi looked at Tang Ruowei. "Junior Sister Tang, are you sure you didn't lie to us? Was Chu Ning really a casual cultivator before?"

Not to mention the magnificent buildings, they are nothing special. Some monks do like to build their caves into this kind of appearance.

But what about these spiritual weapons?

There must be a flying boat floating on the small lake. Huang Xiuchun was envious of such a large flying boat. In comparison, the flying boat that the three of them were riding on was so simple.

Flying spiritual weapons would be fine, but the dozens of flying swords stuck on the lotus roots are all flying swords that can be used in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Well, there are also those chairs. Although they are simple in style, they are full of spiritual charm. Although they are not spiritual, these materials can be refined into spiritual weapons by weapon refiners.

There are wine jars placed on the pavilion nearby.

Baihua Wine, Juling Wine, Fire Dragon Liquid...all are valuable wines.

Flying boats, flying swords, spiritual wine, medicinal herbs...

The three women almost suspected that they had taken the wrong path and ended up in some treasure house of the Wenjin Sect.

Even though they knew that Chu Ning had a Jindan master, it was impossible for a Jindan master to give so many good things.

A master usually only gives his disciples a few spiritual tools and some elixirs needed for cultivation.

"These things were given by my senior brothers. The storage bag can't hold them all, so I have to put them outside."

Chu Ning said this in a very Versailles way, but these treasures were indeed the gifts he received for the Foundation Building Banquet.

Like those flying swords, although they are spiritual weapons, they are only useful in the initial stage of foundation building. And he inserted these flying swords in the lake not just to show off, but there are also flying swords he refined buried under the center of the lake.

The spiritual energy of these flying swords will slowly be absorbed by the flying swords under the center of the lake, allowing the power of the flying swords to grow.

Chu Ning introduced and led the way. The other good things were placed outside, not for showing off his wealth, because he had never entertained outsiders except his master.

The reason for this arrangement was that he thought of a TV series he had seen in his previous life, in which a big shot put a lot of gold and silver treasures in his ancient tomb. If the tomb robbers were bewitched and took action, they would be infected with the poison on the gold.

The arrangement here is also very simple. The poison is made by himself to prevent invasion by outsiders.

After Xie Shouping knew Chu Ning's thoughts, he was silent for a moment, and finally left only one sentence: "You deserve it that you can practice the Unmovable Mountain Technique."

Chu Ning: ...

The wine is good wine, and the tea is good tea.

Tang Ruowei walked around the area. Fortunately, Chu Ning crushed the detoxification pill when he opened the formation. The fragrance of the pill wafted past, and the three women didn't feel anything unusual.

It’s not that Tang Ruowei and the other two girls were not on guard, but they didn’t think that Chu Ning would harm them. It was normal for the scent of elixir to be smelled in an alchemist’s cave.

"Such a luxurious cave, with lakes and nectar, didn't you think of hiring some maids?"

After checking around, Tang Ruowei asked casually. Chu Ning stopped and his expression became serious: "Who do you think I am? If I indulge in enjoyment, how can I succeed in building my foundation?"

Seeing Chu Ning's serious expression, Tang Ruowei was a little overwhelmed. It seemed that this was the case. She was just testing it a little bit.

"I said the wrong thing."

"Others don't understand me, so how can you not understand me?"

Chu Ning looked a little hurt, but he felt relieved in his heart. It was a close call. He had originally had this idea, but had not put it into action yet.

"This flying boat is bigger than Senior Sister Huang's. Can I go up and take a look?"

Tang Ruowei pointed at the flying boat parked on the lake, Chu Ning made a hand gesture, and the flying boat flew towards them. The two boarded the flying boat, and Tang Ruowei released her spiritual sense.

After a few breaths, a satisfied smile appeared on the girl's pretty face.

Chu Ning took in all of Tang Ruowei's expressions and knew that he would need to prepare a few more flying spiritual weapons in the future.

…

…

Five days later.

Xie Shouping came out of seclusion and received Chu Ning's message, so he came here immediately.

The aura of a powerful Jindan master made Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi a little nervous, but Tang Ruowei was more nervous. It was not because Xie Shouping was a Jindan master, but because her master was also a Jindan, and in the late Jindan stage.

He was nervous because this was Chu Ning's master and his elder.

"Great, great, great, a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

When Xie Shouping saw Tang Ruowei, his eyes were filled with kindness. This girl looked like a good girl, had a good talent for cultivation, and was from the same place as Chu Ning.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"This is the first time we meet, and I don't have anything good to offer. Just consider this as a greeting gift."

Xie Shouping thought for a moment and took out three bottles of pills from his storage bag.

Tang Ruowei first glanced at Chu Ning, and when she saw Chu Ning nod, she took the three bottles of pills.

Although I don’t know what these three bottles of elixirs are, what a third-grade alchemist can produce is definitely not an ordinary elixir.

Xie Shouping did not ignore Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi, and also gave each of them a bottle of medicine. The two women were overjoyed and quickly expressed their gratitude.

As a disciple of Xiyue Sect, he is not short of spiritual weapons and magic skills, because Xiyue Sect has a master of weapon refining, but he is really short of elixirs, because Xiyue Sect does not have a powerful alchemist.

Many of the elixirs in the sect were exchanged by the elders from other sects with alchemists.

Junior Sister Tang is the sect’s key training partner and will never be short of elixirs, but the other two are not treated so well.

This time I accompanied Junior Sister Tang to ask Jincheng and made a lot of money.

Xie Shouping didn't stay for too long, because he knew that his staying here would put a lot of pressure on these girls.

Huang Xiuchun is nearly a hundred years old, and in Xie Shouping's eyes she is indeed a little girl.

Before leaving, Chu Ning received a voice message in his ear.

"Master, let me remind you that when you take this little girl down the mountain to wander around, you should get rid of your nickname first."

Chu Ning was ashamed. Has his nickname, Chu Daqi, already reached his master's ears?

…

…

In the next few days, Chu Ning took Tang Ruowei around during the day, visiting the inner city and the outer city. However, facing the two light bulbs, Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi, at night, he could only watch Tang Ruowei leave.

Half a month later, Tang Ruowei was going back.

"Chun Ning, let's have a fight."

Tang Ruowei was still unwilling to give up. Chu Ning didn't say anything, but silently took out a dozen defensive spiritual weapons from his storage bag.

These spiritual weapons were given by those monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Their defensive capabilities are not that strong, but they can withstand large numbers.

Tang Ruowei estimated that by the time she broke through Chu Ning's defense, the spiritual fluid would probably be exhausted.

Although she was a little disappointed, Tang Ruowei was still very satisfied. At least now she could only not hurt Chu Ning, and she was no longer used as a unit of measurement by Chu Ning like before.

The next moment, Chu Ning controlled the flying sword and cut down a tree behind her, and she didn't even have time to react...

On the flying boat.

Huang Xiuchun and Liu Yi looked at Tang Ruowei's red eyes and knew that this was because Junior Sister Tang was reluctant to leave her lover and her inner reluctance was revealed.

Although Junior Sister Tang is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she has been practicing for a short time. In terms of her character, she is probably just like a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Condensation.

"Chun Ning, you bastard, just wait for me, I will definitely beat you next time."

"I will go into seclusion when I get back. When you come to Sun Moon Mountain, I will definitely be able to defeat you."

The two girls didn't know that Tang Ruowei was not reluctant but angry.

This person is so abominable.

After the sword fell, there was another sentence: "With this speed, the sword can probably be swung ten more times."

Doesn't this mean that he can beat ten of himself?

I, Tang Ruowei, will never be a unit of measurement!

…

…

In the mist on the mountain, Chu Ning stood there for a long time, watching the flying boat depart.

"Can't bear to part with someone's little girl?"

Xie Shouping appeared at the side. Chu Ning was used to his elusive master and replied, "No, I just feel a little unsure when I think about going to Sun Moon Mountain."

"No idea?" Xie Shouping said with a smile, "The Xiyue Sect of Sun Moon Mountain is a great sect with thousands of years of history. Its foundation cannot be compared with that of Wenjin Sect. But you are my disciple and you have a talent for alchemy. The elders of the Xiyue Sect will not do anything to break up the couple."

"Master, I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is that the journey from here to Sun Moon Mountain is long. If I encounter robbers on the road, or happen to run into a battle between two Jindan masters, or if I'm unlucky enough to run into a Yuanying master, I'm worried about accidents."

It would take at least three months for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage to travel from Wenjin City to Riyue Mountain. During a three-month journey, no one knows what they would encounter along the way.

Xie Shouping looked at his disciple. Was his disciple serious about what he said?

Are Jindan and Yuanying just cabbages on the roadside? How many cultivators never see a Jindan master in their entire lives?

Is this due to the influence of the Immovable Mountain Technique? "Ahem, disciple, you are right to be cautious, but you don't have to be so cautious. It's not that easy to meet a Nascent Soul expert."

"Master, the place I came from was originally sealed by a formation. It is said that it was broken by the fighting energy of two Yuanying masters."

Xie Shouping's mouth twitched: "This kind of thing is extremely rare. You may not encounter it once in a hundred years. But you don't have to worry. Even if you want to go to Sun Moon Mountain, you don't have to go so early."

"That girl has excellent aptitude. Xiyue Sect trains her to be a Jindan strongman. If you two really want to be together, it has to be after you reach the Jindan stage."

From foundation building to golden elixir stage, a hundred years is considered early.

"Well, when you reach the middle stage of foundation building, I will accompany you to Sun Moon Mountain to finalize the marriage agreement first."

"Thank you, Master."

Chu Ning nodded. His master really had nothing to say about him.

The following days were very dull for Chu Ning, but he liked this kind of dull days.

When he was free, he would write a letter to Tang Ruowei. Occasionally, he would go down the mountain to Miaoyin Pavilion to teach the girls how to practice alchemy. He spent more time practicing in the cave.

The key to being as still as a mountain is to be still.

Focus on stillness and respond to all changes with immobility.

Whether absorbing spiritual energy or swallowing pills, the energy entering the dantian will first be sucked away by the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, spiritual liquid began to drip down from the mountain stream where the waterfall washed down, and landed in the dantian.

Purification of spiritual fluid.

This is Chu Ning’s summary. After being purified on this mountain, although the amount of his spiritual liquid did not increase, it was precisely because of the purification that the power of his spells was doubled.

The advantage is that he should be invincible at the same level, but the disadvantage is that his level growth will be slower than others.

In addition to the power of magic, what made Chu Ning even more satisfied was his spiritual sense. Now his spiritual sense had reached 150 meters, which was higher than that of most people in the middle stage of foundation building.

Fortunately, he has a master and has plenty of elixirs to make up for this shortcoming.

There is no need to worry during the foundation-building period.

First practice steadily until you reach the late stage of foundation building.

This is Chu Ning’s plan for the future. There is no need to leave Wenjin City.

…

…

On this day, Chu Ning had just finished his training when a voice came from outside the cave.

"Junior Brother Chu, the Sect Master invites you."

"Please wait for a moment, Senior Brother Gu. I will come right after I tidy up the furnace."

Chu Ning stopped practicing inside the formation. As for refining pills, he hadn't opened the fire in the past six months. Other alchemists needed to refine more pills to become familiar with the techniques, but he didn't need to.

With the Secret Mirror, as long as the spiritual power can keep up and there are enough materials, there is no such thing as a failure rate.

As for the top-grade elixir, this thing cannot be refined by just relying on proficiency.

It is rumored that his quota for alchemy has been scheduled for ten years later, and he released it through Huang Fei.

I have received gifts from so many people at the Foundation Building Banquet. If I don't spread the rumor, it would be difficult to refuse these people if they come to me.

After changing into red-gray clothes, Chu Ning walked out of the cave.

"I'm sorry to have kept Senior Brother Gu waiting for a long time."

"It is rumored that Junior Brother Chu's quota for alchemy has been scheduled for ten years later. Junior Brother Chu, you can't do this. You can't delay your cultivation for alchemy. You have to refuse what you should refuse."

Gu Fanzhou saw what Chu Ning was wearing and gave him a serious reminder.

"Brother, what you said is very true. However, I am from a humble background and know how difficult it is to cultivate immortality. I want to help in any way I can."

"Junior brother, you have a kind heart, but cultivating immortals is all about fighting, fighting against heaven and fighting against people."

Gu Fanzhou stopped there. This Junior Brother Chu came from a low-class family and must have known that cultivating immortals was not easy, so he was too empathetic. It was not a good thing for him to be too embarrassed to refuse the cultivators who came to him to ask for elixirs.

Whether you can understand what I said depends on Junior Brother Chu's own luck.

Chu Ning followed behind Gu Fanzhou. This Senior Brother Gu was a nice guy and knew how to remind himself. No wonder he had a high reputation among the foundation-building cultivators in the sect. It seemed that it was not just because of his status as the sect master's disciple.

Ask about the main hall on the top of the mountain of this sect.

[Don’t ask about the past, don’t expect the future, just fight for the present]

In the square in front of the main hall, there stands a huge stone with the twelve words written on it exuding spiritual charm.

When Gu Fanzhou saw these twelve words, there was a gleam in his eyes. No matter how many times he had come here, every time he came here and saw the twelve words carved by the master, it would bring him endless motivation.

This is written by the master himself.

My master started out as a casual cultivator and later cultivated himself to the Golden Elixir stage, and finally established the Wenjin Sect in Wenjin City, all by competing with others along the way.

He wants to follow the example of his master.

Chu Ning was also confused when he saw Gu Fanzhou, who looked very excited.

Isn’t this just chicken soup for the soul?

Is it necessary to be so excited?

After entering the hall, Chu Ning saw the sect master standing above and the five foundation-building monks standing below.

These five foundation-building monks are disciples of the other five elders.

He had also attended Chu Ning's foundation-building banquet, so Chu Ning was able to recognize him.

What was the purpose of the sect master gathering these elders and disciples together? "Disciple Chu Ning greets the sect master."

Chu Ning bowed first with doubt in his eyes.

"Everyone is here. Originally, your master should have informed you of this matter, but you are all my hope for the future of the sect. I don't want you to have any grudges because of this matter, so I summoned you all here."

The leader of Wenjin Sect glanced at Chu Ning and the other six people and said lightly.

PS: Oh my God, the subscription dropped for ten days, and today the downward trend finally stopped. I will try to write more in the next chapter to thank everyone and silently ask for a monthly ticket.

(End of this chapter)
