Chapter 146: Asking the Two Great Prideful Ones of the Clan

Mountain top.

Chu Ning still kept his eyes closed.

However, at this moment, with his body as the center, a huge amount of energy spread out in all directions.

"The late stage of foundation building?"

The black snake felt the energy fluctuations and there was a light in its eyes.

Chu Ning suddenly reached the late stage of foundation building, then there will be something fun to do.

Ten breaths later, no more energy leaked from Chu Ning's body, and the true divine light was contained within him. He then opened his eyes.

"It took thirty Dao fruits of the early stage of foundation building, seven Dao fruits of the middle stage of foundation building, and three Dao fruits of the late stage of foundation building to open up the sixth spiritual spring. Lao Hei, you are really capable."

The first thing Chu Ning did when he opened his eyes was to glare at Lao Hei.

When I signed the life contract, Lao Hei said that it would increase the difficulty of breaking through. Is this true?

The difficulty has at least tripled.

"Look at it from a positive perspective. It makes you almost invincible in the same realm. And you still have so many foundation-building Dao fruits. It should be enough for you to cultivate to the peak of the late foundation-building stage."

Lao Hei ignored Chu Ning's eyes and said, "Besides, I have swallowed the Golden Core Dao Fruit now, and my increased strength will benefit you in the future. On the contrary, you are unable to refine the Golden Core Dao Fruit now."

Chu Ning was silent because of what Lao Hei said.

The energy of a golden elixir fruit is almost comparable to all the foundation-building fruits in his pocket, but he is unable to refine the golden elixir fruit now.

Only when one has nine spiritual springs in the body and has reached the peak of foundation building can one refine the golden elixir fruit.

Although he was in the middle stage of cultivating and breaking through to the foundation-building stage, he could still sense what was happening in the outside world.

"I'm in the late stage of foundation building. My spiritual awareness is now almost several miles away."

Chu Ning spread out his spiritual sense. He stood in the center of the mountain top. As his spiritual sense spread out, he was able to detect half of the mountain top.

"The diameter of the top of Wenjin Peak is several thousand feet, which means that the range of my spiritual awareness has reached a thousand feet. If it is in one direction, it is at least five hundred feet."

Hundreds of feet, this is a terrifying distance, which is close to the spiritual awareness range of a Jindan realm powerhouse.

"So, some of the Dao Fruit energy I absorbed was actually transformed into spiritual consciousness by Qingshan?"

Chu Ning was guessing in his heart, and the next moment his expression suddenly became strange.

Because his spiritual sense swept over a figure that had appeared at the edge of the mountain top.

"What a coincidence, I ran into this guy again."

Chu Ning put the golden elixir fruit on the ground into his storage bag, and at the same time summoned the black snake into his body and headed towards the direction of that person.

Five breaths later, the two met at the top of the mountain.

Swoosh! The other party was stunned for a moment, but Chu Ning summoned his flying sword without saying a word.

"Brother Yao, wait a minute, it's me!"

When the visitor saw Chu Ning summoning the flying sword, he shouted hurriedly and formed seals with his hands. As the seals changed, his body and appearance began to change.

"Junior Brother Zhang, why is it you?"

Chu Ning had recognized Zhang Bairen a long time ago, not because of the reminder from the Secret Mirror. The Secret Mirror would only work if he saw it with his naked eyes, and it would be ineffective if sensed by his spiritual sense.

He was able to recognize Zhang Bairen because the disc on Zhang Bairen's head looked exactly the same as the disc that Zhang Bairen had summoned as Lao Hei had told him.

"Brother Yao, you may not know this yet. You drove those Qi Condensation cultivators from the outer city to the foot of the mountain, preventing them from getting a chance. The Jindan masters from the outer city have already issued a bounty for you. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators that come in now will do you harm."

Zhang Bairen had a worried look on his face. "We have known each other for a short time, but I recognize you as my senior brother. I changed my appearance just to come in and tell Brother Yao the news."

Listening to Zhang Bairen's words, Chu Ning laughed in his heart. This guy was lying with his eyes open.

You should inform yourself that you have been here for two months and could have come up earlier. There is no need to wait until now.

As for the fact that Zhang Bairen was able to come in without being discovered by those Jindan powerhouses, Chu Ning was not surprised. For an old man like him, it was normal for him to prepare multiple identities for himself. This is called "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang. Those cultivators from the outer city were too bullying and even arrested Senior Brother Gu. Senior Brother couldn't stand it, so he chose to come in."

Everyone can act.

Chu Ning believes that he still has a talent for acting.

"Senior Brother Yao, you are impulsive. But how did you get in?" Zhang Bairen sighed and then asked curiously.

"The sect master has set up a teleportation array on the mountain. You can come in directly through the teleportation array, but this teleportation array is one-way. Only Senior Brother Gu knows about it in the entire sect. When Senior Brother Gu asked Jin Cheng back, he told me this secret."

"So that's how it is."

Zhang Bairen suddenly understood, but he still had some doubts in his heart. Is there such a powerful teleportation array? You know, the spiritual shield on this mountain cannot be broken even by a Jindan master.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I think you came here this time to fight against these foundation-building masters together with me. It just so happens that I have some treasures to give to you, Junior Brother Zhang."

After listening to the first half of Chu Ning's words, Zhang Bairen originally wanted to explain, but after listening to it, he chose to agree.

"This lightning bead can cause considerable damage even to a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. If it is a sneak attack, it can seriously injure the opponent."

Chu Ning reached out and took out a few treasures from the storage bag. The two mid-grade spiritual weapons were nothing, but the Thunder Pearl made Zhang Bairen's eyes light up.

This is really good stuff.

For someone like him who likes to play tricks on others, the Thunder Pearl is perfect for him.

Zhang Bairen took the spiritual weapon and the thunder bead handed over by Chu Ning, and then looked around.

"Brother Yao, you must have been on this mountaintop for a long time. Have you noticed anything different?"

"No."

"That's strange. More than two months have passed, and no Golden Core Dao Fruit has appeared yet. Something is wrong."

Zhang Bairen frowned. According to the display of the disc, there was a great opportunity in Wenjin Mountain, so he ventured in. In his opinion, this great opportunity was the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit.

"I don't know about this brother."

Chu Ning shook his head, and at this moment, a spiritual tide surged again from above.

A new wave of spiritual tide is coming.

A ball of colorful light surged along with the spiritual tide.

Zhang Bairen's eyes lit up and he was about to take action, but just as he was about to take a step, he felt a figure flash beside him, and then he saw Chu Ning already in front of him, taking the golden elixir fruit.

"After waiting for so long, I finally got a golden elixir fruit."

Chu Ning looked excited, and Zhang Bairen forced a smile: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Yao."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. If there is another Golden Core Dao Fruit, I will definitely grab it for you."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Zhang Bairen's mouth twitched. Is it so easy to obtain the Golden Elixir Dao Fruit?

I'm afraid the other monks are also on their way to the top of the mountain at this moment.

Zhang Bairen's prediction was correct. Although the golden elixir fruit thrown by the black snake caused a scramble among those foundation-building cultivators, when the cultivator obtained the golden elixir fruit, he was immediately besieged, and these cultivators also woke up from their madness.

The golden elixir fruit is not an opportunity at this time, but a death spell.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"In my opinion, it is better to let this golden elixir fruit be given to Fellow Daoist Xu for safekeeping."

An old man made a suggestion, and his words made everyone's eyes fall on Xu Ruobing.

As Xu Ruobing was the only female cultivator who came in, and also the eldest daughter of the Xu family, these foundation-building cultivators had heard of her name.

"I agree with this proposal. Let's give the Golden Core Dao Fruit to Fellow Daoist Xu first. We will fight for it when the spiritual tide is completely over."

Xu Ruobing also reacted quickly and did not refuse: "Then I will keep it temporarily."

After putting the Golden Elixir Fruit into the storage bag, Xu Ruobing clearly felt that more and more eyes were fixed on her.

"Another spiritual tide is coming, let's continue the action!"

At the top of the mountain, a spiritual tide descended, but this time the light spots in the spiritual tide were pitifully few, with only two of them.

All the foundation-building monks were dumbfounded.

What was going on? The treasures that emerged from the spiritual tide were getting fewer and fewer each time? Was the first wave the peak? After this wave, the violent spiritual energy of the entire Wenjin Mountain completely dissipated.

So, all of them are fighting for a golden elixir fruit this time? "Everyone, I suspect someone is playing tricks on the top of the mountain. Let's go to the top first, but don't forget that Yao Qihua hasn't shown up yet."

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Ruobing again, the late foundation building expert from Yinglong Sect spoke loudly.

"That's right, let's go to the top of the mountain and search for Yao Qihua first!"

The one who agreed was Zhang Chao from the Xingxiu Society. Before entering the mountain, the elders had told him that he must kill Yao Qihua.

Because one of the Qi Condensation cultivators killed by Yao Qihua was the brother of the elder’s new concubine.

As long as he kills Yao Qihua, the elders will give him a generous reward.

…

"Junior Brother Zhang is quite fast."

Chu Ning looked at Zhang Bairen. After losing the Golden Elixir Fruit, Zhang Bairen immediately moved on to other treasures.

"Senior Brother Yao is not slow either." Zhang Bairen smiled brightly.

The two of them were equally capable. As for the two light-spotted treasures that had not been taken away, it was because it was really too late.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I'm going to go over there to check the situation. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on this side."

Chu Ning's spiritual sense sensed that those foundation-building monks had come up, and after he finished speaking, he headed towards the other side of the mountain top. Zhang Bairen was stunned for a moment. His spiritual sense was not as good as Chu Ning's, and he had not sensed anyone approaching.

"Now that the violent aura has disappeared, let this guy take the blame for us first, and then we can take action!"

When Chu Ning gave Zhang Bairen the Thunder Pearl, he was already prepared to let Zhang Bairen take the blame, and at this moment, the bronze mirror outside the mountain also began to shine on the top of the mountain.

In the bronze mirror, Zhang Bairen's figure appeared clearly.

"Who is this person?"

All the Jindan masters present frowned when they saw Zhang Bairen in the mirror. This was another unfamiliar face.

"This person seems to be asking about another guest elder of the sect, Zhang Bairen, whose Taoist name is Zhang Dabao."

In the city, a cultivator recognized Zhang Bairen.

After all, Chu Ning and Zhang Bairen had visited Miaoxian Pavilion many times, and many cultivators knew him.

"Another guest elder?"

The expressions of the monks in the outer city became strange. What was going on? Yao Qihua was the guest elder, and now there was another one.

There was not a single disciple of the Wenjin Sect to be seen, but two guest elders appeared on the Wenjin Mountain.

The Jindan expert in the sky had an ugly expression on his face as he listened to the discussions below.

They investigated the current situation of the sect and found out that the guest elders of the sect were only recruited in the past few years, and there are only two of them in total.

One is Yao Qihua, the other is Zhang Bairen.

The real disciples of Wenjin Sect could not enter Wenjin Mountain, but the two guest elders were able to enter Wenjin Mountain.

Those who don’t know would think that the guest elder is the core disciple of Wenjin Sect.

"Is it possible that Senior Yao and Senior Zhang are actually disciples secretly cultivated by Wen Jin Sect? When Wen Jin Sect encountered a crisis, they returned to the sect as guest elders."

A cultivator in the city whispered, "If I remember correctly, Senior Yao and Senior Zhang have a very good relationship. They often go to Miaoxian Pavilion together. It is very likely that they have known each other for a long time."

"Now that you put it that way, it's possible. This is the only way to explain why these two people would appear in Wen Jinshan."

“So, Senior Gu only asked about what the current sect has put on the surface, and asked about the two people that the current sect is truly training.”

"If it's true, then these two are the true peerless duo of the Wenjin Sect. They are here for revenge."
