Chapter 152 I, Chu Ning, am the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect!

"Black Ghost Stone."

"Bijing liquid."

"Blue Treasure Sand."

…

Chu Ning counted the profits and his eyes narrowed with smile.

The storage bags of these late foundation-building cultivators contain quite a lot of good stuff, including spiritual weapons, refining materials, special materials, medicinal herbs, elixirs, and even some spells.

"This is comparable to the treasure house of Wenjin Sect."

Chu Ning's judgment was not an exaggeration. He had been into the Wen Jin Sect's treasury, and the treasures inside were actually not as many as those in the storage bags of these foundation-building monks.

There aren't many things in Wenjin Sect's treasure house that can be used by Jindan masters, but among the storage bags of these foundation-building cultivators, there are a few bags that contain good things that even Jindan masters would be tempted by.

Fire spirit sand.

This is what a Jindan realm expert needs when practicing the Five Elements Kung Fu, and it is also hard currency in the Jindan realm circle.

Jade Crystal Liquid, this is what the powerful Jindan masters who practice water-attributed skills need, and it is hard currency just like Fire Spirit Sand.

It took Chu Ning a month to count all the harvest.

Because there were some things in the storage bags of these foundation-building cultivators that he couldn't tell the origins of, so he could only slowly explore them, and there were also some jade slips containing some martial arts techniques.

Unfortunately, there is no secret technique like the Soul-Destroying Thorn here, and the only two skills that he is interested in are.

But now is not the time to practice.

After cleaning up the harvest, Lao Hei also completed the exploration of the entire mountain range. After confirming that there were only a dozen monsters equivalent to the foundation-building stage in the mountain range and no golden elixir monsters, Chu Ning built a small cave for himself.

He is going to refine the foundation-building fruit.

"Old Black, protect me."

After handing the cave safely to Lao Hei, Chu Ning picked up a foundation-building fruit and began to refine it.

…

…

Time flies like an arrow.

Deep in the mountains, birds flew in fright and a group of wild animals fled quickly.

The reason for all this is that there is a terrifying energy emanating from deep within the mountains.

The few remaining foundation-building monsters in the mountains were now trembling and crawling on the ground.

This aura is too terrifying, it must be at least a Jindan powerhouse.

In a cave a hundred meters deep, Chu Ning opened his eyes and swept his spiritual sense around, taking in every move within a few miles.

In a year and a half, the diameter of his spiritual consciousness reached two thousand feet with himself as the center.

It has doubled compared to when I asked Jinshan.

The number of spiritual springs in the Dantian has also reached eight.

The peak number of spiritual springs in the foundation-building period is nine, but Chu Ning believes that his eight spiritual springs will not be worse than the nine spiritual springs, because in terms of the amount of spiritual liquid, the spiritual liquid stored in his eight spiritual springs has far exceeded that of nine spiritual springs.

For a normal foundation-building cultivator, one spiritual spring contains two hundred drops of spiritual liquid, but each of his spiritual springs can store five hundred drops of spiritual liquid. In terms of the amount of spiritual liquid alone, it is twice as much as that of an average peak foundation-building cultivator.

"Old Hei, I should be invincible in the Foundation Establishment Stage now, but I don't know how it compares to the early Golden Core Stage." Chu Ning asked in his mind.

"I definitely can't win, but I should be able to escape unscathed."

Chu Ning agreed with Lao Hei's judgment because he also made the same analysis.

"Now it's time to head to Sun Moon Mountain."

Chu Ning made up his mind that no matter what happened, it would not change his decision to find Tang Xiaoniu to live off him.

After leaving the cave, Chu Ning summoned out the underground boat, but before entering the underground boat, he looked at a weed on the ground in front of him. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he smiled, flicked his right hand, and a drop of spiritual liquid fell on the weed.

"Giving you a drop of spiritual liquid is a blessing for you."

After saying this, he stepped into the underground boat and headed out of the mountain. The reason why he gave the spiritual liquid to a weed was because the weed seemed to be gaining intelligence, that is, it was about to become a spirit.

Influenced by the tree demon elder, Chu Ning now has a good impression of plant and wood spirits.

A drop of spiritual liquid can help the grass, but it will not make it be targeted by other monsters. Whether it can successfully give birth to spiritual intelligence depends on the luck of the grass itself.

The spiritual liquid fell on the body, and the grass absorbed it greedily, swaying in the direction where Chu Ning left, as if to express gratitude.

…

…

One day later, after leaving the mountains, Chu Ning put away the underground boat and chose to travel on the ground.

Chu Ning used to like watching spy movies, but gave up after watching a few because he felt that the outfits of the spies were too unreliable, and the only thing that was almost indispensable was a hat.

A hat can indeed cover your face, but the problem is that it will also attract the attention of your opponents.

Of a hundred people walking down the street, those wearing hats are the ones that will attract the most attention.

The same goes for the underground boat.

A spiritual weapon like the Earth-Escape Boat cannot be hidden from a Jindan expert. If a Jindan expert happens to scan this area with his spiritual sense, it will attract the opponent's attention.

If he didn't have something to hide, why would he use this kind of flying spiritual weapon?

On the contrary, it is normal for a foundation-building cultivator to fly and move between cities, and it will not attract the attention of Jindan powerhouses.

“Huh!”

After walking for a long time, Chu Ning's eyes jumped, and the next moment his figure headed towards the battle site that his spiritual sense had just scanned.

"Stop struggling and surrender."

"Even if you can escape from these two, you will still encounter others."

In a forest several miles away, Huang Fei, with blood at the corners of his mouth, was being chased by two cultivators in the early stages of foundation building.

He was unwilling to accept it, but he also knew that what the two people in front of him said was true.

Even if he could escape this time, he might not be able to escape next time. In the past six months, he has been hunted down no less than seven times, and he has used up all the cards he could use to save his life.

Is he really going to die here? "What happened to Junior Brother Huang?"

Just when Huang Fei was in despair, a voice came from the left. Huang Fei turned around instantly, and when he saw a figure walking out of the woods on the left, his face was excited at first, but then it became gloomy again.

Seeing Huang Fei's expression, Chu Ning was a little surprised. Shouldn't Huang Fei be excited when he saw the appearance of a person in the middle stage of foundation building?

As long as I am here, I feel safe and rescued.

"You are Fellow Daoist Chu, right?"

Before Huang Fei opened his mouth, one of the two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building spoke first: "The two of us are hunting down the remnants of the Wenjin Sect. It has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Chu. Please leave."

This made Chu Ning even more confused.

Hunting down the remnants of the Wenjin Sect? Aren’t I the remnant of the Wenjin Sect?

Bah! Isn't it just a disciple of Wenjin Sect? "Brother Chu, a year ago, Yinglong Sect and Yangtian League and ten other sects issued a hunting order to hunt down the disciples of Wenjin Sect. Although you, Brother Chu, are also a disciple of Wenjin Sect, you were born as a Dan slave and were forced to join Wenjin Sect. You are not on the notification list."

Huang Fei began to explain. Chu Ning's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little stunned in his heart. They wanted all the disciples of Wenjin Sect, but didn't include him?

Trap, to lure me out! This was the first thought in Chu Ning's mind. Qu Laogou and the others wanted to make him feel safe in this way, so that he could show up in front of others.

Chu Ning scoffed at the reason that he was forced to join the Wenjin Sect because of his status as a Dan slave.

He knew the nature of these Jindan powerhouses too well and they wouldn't care about it at all.

Is it because of my talent in alchemy?

Chu Ning rejected this idea. The alchemy talent he had shown to the outside world was just that of a potential alchemy genius. It was not necessary for people like Qu Laogou to single him out.

Because even if he was not wanted, he would not join these ten sects.

"I see."

Chu Ning nodded, and the two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Huang Fei explained it personally, otherwise if Chu Ning had misunderstood and attacked them, they would have no chance of winning.

After all, Chu Ning is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

With the help of the Breath Concealment Technique, Chu Ning's strength cannot be seen through by anyone except someone stronger than him.

In the outside world, Chu Ning showed the strength of the middle stage of foundation building. These two people took it for granted that Chu Ning was in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Please, Brother Chu, please move aside."

"good."

Chu Ning responded, and the next moment two flying swords shot out. The two foundation-building monks didn't even have time to react, and their heads were taken away directly.

Huang Fei's originally gloomy eyes turned into an expression of disbelief when he saw this scene.

"Chu... Senior Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

He could never have imagined that Chu Ning would come to his rescue.

"Brother Chu, I am very grateful for saving my life." Huang Fei bowed to Chu Ning and continued, "But to be honest, Brother Chu, you shouldn't have been involved in this. I wonder if Brother Chu has ever exposed his whereabouts?"

"No."

Chu Ning looked at Huang Fei's serious expression and felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that his analysis was wrong?

"In that case, Senior Brother Chu, you should leave quickly. Even if I get caught again, I will not reveal anything about Senior Brother Chu."

Huang Fei's eyes were firm. Chu Ning was sure that this was what Huang Fei really thought. Even if he was discovered again, Huang Fei would not betray him.

But he would not leave until his doubts were resolved.

"Junior Brother Huang, I want to know the real reason why the Yinglong Sect and other sects have not issued a wanted notice for me."

Huang Fei's expression became strange when he heard Chu Ning ask this: "When the ten major sects issued the wanted order, a female disciple from the Xiyue Sect appeared in Wenjin City. Although this female disciple was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, she was the chief disciple of the Xiyue Sect, and she was accompanied by a Xiyue Sect elder in the late Jindan stage."

Tang Xiaoniu? Chu Ning's mind immediately popped up the image of Tang Xiaoniu.

"The chief disciple of Xiyue Sect directly spread the word that Senior Brother Chu is her fiancé, so Yinglong Sect cancelled the wanted order for Senior Brother Chu. However, in order to look good, they found this reason to the outside world."

Sects outside the Hundred Cities are not allowed to interfere and enter the Hundred Cities area, but they can do so if they have sufficient reasons.

This was the reason why the mayor of Shanyang City wanted his daughter to escape to Xuantian Sect.

So, now I have become the second Zheng Qingmin.

The difference is that the marriage between Zheng Qingmin and the young master of Xuantian Sect has not been made public, so his master and the sect master pretended not to know and acted first and reported to the public later.

And now that Tang Ruowei has directly announced it, if she continues to issue a wanted order for herself, she will be making an enemy of the Xiyue Sect, and the Xiyue Sect will have a reason to take action.

Even though Xiyue Sect cannot intervene, it is still possible to kill a few Jindan powerhouses. After all, Xiyue Sect has Yuanying powerhouses in charge.

It turned out that this was not a trap, but the people from Yinglong Sect did not dare to attack him.

This is the happiness of being a gigolo.

"What is the current situation of the disciples of this sect?"

"After the ten major sects issued a wanted order for our disciples from Wenjin Sect, many of them were killed. However, Senior Brother Zeng saved many of his fellow disciples and spread the word that anyone who dared to kill a disciple from Wenjin Sect would be retaliated by them."

Zeng Wenbo? When Senior Brother Gu proposed to disband Wenjin Sect, Chu Ning knew at that time that Zeng Wenbo's sense of belonging to Wenjin Sect was no less than Senior Brother Gu's, and his current actions also proved this.

"What about Brother Gu?"

"Senior Brother Gu is missing. The outside world is saying that he died at the hands of a tree demon."

To the outside world, I'm afraid that the news was released by the ten major sects of Yinglong Sect.

Chu Ning sneered in his heart. It was good news that Senior Brother Gu did not show up. Although he admired Zeng Wenbo's actions, it was not a wise move.

The outcome of the confrontation between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core is inevitable.

The real way to deal with it is to hide, even in the deep mountains and forests, and wait for the sect leader and elders to come out and take charge of the situation.

"The top ten sects have offered the highest bounty on Daoist Fellow Yao and Daoist Fellow Zhang. They even said that if the disciples of this sect can tell them the whereabouts of these two people, they will be exempted from the wanted list."

In the minds of Huang Fei and other disciples of the Wenjin Sect, the two guest elders, Yao Qihua and Zhang Bairen, are not real brothers.

Chu Ning curled his lips in his heart. It seemed that he and Zhang Bairen had made these Jindan powerhouses angry enough.

But for the bounty offered to himself and Zhang Bairen, it was purely unnecessary.

As long as he doesn't turn into Yao Qihua's appearance, his identity will never be exposed. As for Zhang Bairen, he must have already left a way out for himself.

Plan for defeat before planning for victory; this is one of the principles of the Way of the Gods. Zhang Bairen, like himself, is a person who knows the true meaning of this Way.

After learning from Huang Fei what had happened over the past year, Chu Ning pondered and asked, "Where are you going now, Junior Brother Huang?"

"Junior brother is going to Dan City, where alchemists can get shelter."

Dan City.

A city dominated by alchemists.

There is a saying circulating in the Hundred Cities area: no matter what elixir you need, if you can't find an alchemist to make it, then go to Dan City.

As long as you prepare enough rewards, I can refine any elixir for you.

In Dan City, alchemists have the most honorable status and are the most united. Not to mention that Dan City has many third-grade alchemists, just the connections accumulated by these alchemists are enough for the ten major sects to not dare to be presumptuous towards Dan City.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was indeed the best choice for Huang Fei to go to Dan City to seek asylum.

"Brother Chu, I am going to Dan City. The journey is long, and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to survive the heavy pursuit and reach Dan City. If I really die on the way, I hope you can help take care of my descendants."

"Junior Brother Huang has any descendants?"

"Well, I just didn't let him stay in Wenjin City. I have a son and a daughter, both of whom are currently in the middle stage of Qi Condensation and live in Wangyue City..."

After listening to Huang Fei report his children's names and addresses, Chu Ning nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chu. Please take care of yourself. If I can survive, I will shamelessly come to your house to ask for a glass of wedding wine on your wedding day."

Huang Fei saluted towards Chu Ning with his fists, then decisively headed towards the right side of the woods.

"Lao Hei, you said that Huang Fei told me the information about his descendants because he was really worried that something might happen and he needed my care, right?"

Looking at Huang Fei's departing back, Chu Ning sighed softly. Huang Fei was using this method to show him that even if he was caught, he would not betray him.

After all, I know the whereabouts of his children. If he betrays me, his children will die.

"If he doesn't tell you the whereabouts of his children, will you let him leave without worry?" Lao Hei asked back.

Chu Ning was speechless. If he was also on the wanted list, he would definitely not care. But because he was not on the wanted list, if Huang Fei was caught and said that he killed the person who was chasing him, it would be equivalent to giving Yinglong Sect and others an excuse to deal with him.

Logically speaking, these ten major sects did not issue a wanted order for me, which was giving face to Xiyue Sect. However, if I still wanted to help the disciples of Wenjin Sect, that would be tantamount to slapping the face of Yinglong Sect and other sects.

"Speaking of reason...if my master was a Nascent Soul expert, there would be no need to reason. Even if they helped, the Yinglong Sect wouldn't dare to say a word. But I'm just Tang Ruowei's fiancé, so the amount of help is too small. It's impossible for the Xiyue Sect to really go to war for me."

Chu Ning shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. It was enough to be able to live off her. Why think so much?

Chu Ning summoned the luxurious flying boat, got on it, and started heading towards the Sun and Moon Mountain. Since the entire Hundred Cities area knew that he was the son-in-law of the Xiyue Sect, there was no need to be sneaky anymore.

The more aboveboard you are, the less likely anyone will dare to touch you.

I, Chu Ning, the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect, who dares to touch me! ...

…

Therefore, from the place where Chu Ning was to the Sun and Moon Mountain, the cultivators below all saw this luxurious flying boat, although they did not know who was on the boat.

But those who can use such a luxurious flying boat must either be extremely powerful or have a powerful background.

Even those monks who specialized in robbery would turn around and leave when they saw this luxurious flying boat.

It's good to be a fat sheep, but there is a tiger standing behind the fat sheep.

Two months later.

Autumn of the twenty-eighth year of the Chuning calendar.

This was the first time Chu Ning flew out of the Hundred Cities area.

From the topography, Chu Ning could tell that this place did not belong to the Hundred Cities area.

The Hundred Cities area is full of mountains, with only a few places being plains. If you look far away, you can see the mountains at the end of the plains.

But what lies before us is a plain that stretches as far as the eye can see, on which lie several cities, dotted like stars.

"I need to ask someone for directions."

Chu Ning only knew that he should go in this direction in the Hundred Cities area, but now that he was out of the Hundred Cities area, he needed to know the specific direction of the Xiyue Sect.

"This city, please."

With his eyes fixed on the smallest city below, Chu Ning moved away quickly.

The smaller the city, the fewer strong people there are.

When you first arrive in a strange place, try not to go to big cities.

"Taiping City, this name is quite good."

The soldiers guarding the gate were all in the early stage of Qi Condensation. When they saw Chu Ning, their pupils shrank and they quickly saluted respectfully.

This scene made everyone waiting to enter the city look at Chu Ning with curiosity.

It goes without saying that the person in front of him must be a high-level cultivator, but I don’t know whether he is in the middle or late stage of Qi Condensation.

As for foundation building, the people at the city gate didn't even dare to think about it. How could a foundation building expert enter the city through the city gate? They all flew in directly on their swords.

Listening to the people not far behind him analyzing whether he was in the middle or late stage of Qi Condensation, Chu Ning smiled. He now felt like a master who had come down the mountain to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

After entering the city, Chu Ning spread out his spiritual sense and found that most of the people in the city were ordinary people, and most of the cultivators were in the early stage of Qi Condensation, with only a few in the middle stage of Qi Condensation.

So I came to the Novice Village. The strength of the monks in this city is probably similar to that of a state before the Liang Dynasty was sealed.

"He is in the early stage of foundation building. If you need directions, look for him."

After confirming the target, Chu Ning strode towards the City Lord's Mansion. The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building that his spiritual sense sensed was in this City Lord's Mansion.

But it seems like we have to wait...

City Lord's Mansion.

Qi Zhiye walked out of his concubine's room with a satisfied look on his face, but he didn't notice a ray of cold light shooting out from the rockery.

Swoosh! A cold light penetrated Qi Zhiye's chest, and then a flying sword shot out and directly took away Qi Zhiye's head.

Chu Ning, who was walking towards the City Lord's Mansion, paused and cursed in his heart: "Is it such a coincidence?"

He was just about to go to the city lord's mansion to ask for directions, but the city lord was assassinated.

The most important thing is that just now when he scanned the City Lord's Mansion with his spiritual sense, he did not find the second foundation-building cultivator. This person's breath-concealing technique is very advanced.

At this moment, the assassin had already left. Chu Ning was speechless. If things went as expected, the blame would be put on his head.

Chu Ning's figure disappeared out of thin air on the street, and when he reappeared, he was already in a bamboo forest outside the city.

At the bamboo forest grave, a woman stood there.

"Dad, Mom, I have avenged you. Qi Zhiye has been killed by me. It is only because of the person behind Qi Zhiye that I cannot expose his crimes to the public. I am unfilial."

Chu Ning frowned as he listened to the woman's words. So this was revenge for his parents?

The city lord has someone behind him? Then he can't take the blame.

Just as Chu Ning was about to take action, the woman suddenly spoke up, "My daughter has to go back to Sun Moon Mountain right away, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from others. If your spirits are still in the underworld, please bless my daughter to form an elixir so that I can kill the real murderer with my own hands."

Chu Ning:……

He wants to curse now.

If this woman wants to return to Sun Moon Mountain, then she will be a disciple of Xiyue Sect.

If I hand her over, how can I go to Xiyue Sect and become a son-in-law? It seems that I have to bear the blame for the time being.

The woman only said a few words in front of her parents' grave and then left quickly. Chu Ning chose to follow her.

Regardless of whether I take the blame or not, let’s go to Sun and Moon Mountain first.

…

…

One day later.

Chu Ning didn't dare to follow her anymore because the girl was going to another big city where a powerful Jindan master was in charge.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I have no reason to kill the city lord, so I can't take the blame."

Giving up following that woman, Chu Ning headed east.

The only gain from following that woman was that Chu Ning knew the direction of Sun Moon Mountain. That woman had originally planned not to stop at Tiger Hill, but later on for some unknown reason she stopped and went back into the city.

"Have you left?"

Yao Xin was in the City Lord's Mansion with worry in her eyes. She didn't know who was following her. She discovered that she was being followed two hours ago.

Thanks to a secret method she practiced, she could not only hide her aura perfectly, even the spiritual sense of a Jindan powerhouse could not detect it, and her perception of spiritual sense also became extremely sharp.

The moment she sensed that someone's spiritual consciousness was always falling on her, her heart tightened. Her first reaction was that the fact that she had killed Qi Zhiye had been known to others, and that the people behind Qi Zhiye had sent people to hunt her down.

But on second thought, this shouldn't be the case. If the fact that he had killed Qi Zhiye was discovered, and the person who came was sent by the person behind Qi Zhiye, it is impossible that he would not attack him, let alone let him enter the city?

He was a disciple of Xiyue Sect. No one dared to kill disciples of Xiyue Sect openly, not even the people behind Qi Zhiye, not to mention that the mayor of Fu Yu City was an uncle of Xiyue Sect.

So, is it some calamity cultivator?

"Old Black, I think we need an alias and another skin."

As Chu Ning flew eastward, he began to think.

Yao Qihua’s identity can no longer be used at the moment, so we need to find someone else’s blood to practice the replacement technique.

If you use someone else's appearance and identity when you go out, you can avoid this situation from happening again.

"It's a pity. When I asked Jin Cheng, I should have found a way to get Zhang Bairen's blood. This guy is born to take the blame. His fate is to blame him."

Lao Hei: ...

…

…

Seven days later, Chu Ning finally saw the outline of Sun Moon Mountain.

At the end of the sight, many mountains can be vaguely seen.

There was also an anticipation on Chu Ning's face. After several months of traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the Sun and Moon Mountain area.

One day later.

Chu Ning landed in a city.

Moon-grabbing city.

This is the largest city at the foot of Xiyue Sect Mountain.

Sun and Moon Mountain is the territory of Xiyue Sect. It is guarded by formations and outsiders cannot enter.

If you want to enter the mountain, you have to enter the city first and be led into the mountain by the disciples of Xiyue Sect in the city.

At the city gate, everyone entering and leaving is a cultivator. Even if they are a foundation-building cultivator, once they fly their swords to the city gate, they have to land and enter through the city gate.

Chu Ning saw several foundation-building cultivators flying over, all wearing the same clothes. This was the city at the foot of the mountain of Xiyue Sect, and it was obvious that those wearing uniform clothes were disciples of Xiyue Sect.

There was no one guarding the entire city gate, but when Chu Ning entered the city, he could feel several spiritual senses sweeping over him, all of which were at the foundation-building level.

"Lao Hei, what do you think we should do now? Should we just shout on the street, 'I am the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect?'"

Thinking about the way people on the street would look at him if he shouted like that, Chu Ning gave up the idea.

The best way is to contact Tang Ruowei through the disciples of Xiyue Sect in the city.

Just as Chu Ning was about to look for the disciples of Xiyue Sect, there was a sudden movement of the crowd on the street, and Chu Ning immediately looked up.

"The old man Danshengzi came to pay his respects to the mountain!"
