Chapter 153 The situation of Xiyue Sect's male cultivators is worrying
The sky above Lanyue City.
A three-legged golden furnace was suspended in the air.
The entire furnace was covered with golden and magnificent light that shone in all directions. The furnace body was covered with talismans and engraved with mysterious spells.
Even if it is suspended a hundred meters in the air, one can still feel the terrifying high temperature it radiates, making people dare not approach.
The high temperature can be felt from a distance of a hundred meters, so you can imagine how high the temperature inside the furnace is.
Under such high temperature, on the top of the alchemy furnace stood an old man wearing gorgeous clothes inlaid with gold edges, and behind the old man stood a young man.
"It's Senior Dan Shengzi!"
"A strong person in the late Jindan realm is mainly a third-grade alchemist."
Many cultivators on the street had expressions of envy and awe on their faces. Chu Ning had never expected that the first important figure he would meet in Lanyue City would be a third-grade alchemist.
So majestic.
"Old Black, when I become a third-grade alchemist one day, I will also build an alchemy furnace as a flying spiritual weapon."
"What? You still want the entire alchemy furnace to move underground?" Lao Hei ruthlessly sabotaged him.
Chu Ning: ...
“Senior Dan, please!”
There was a response from the sky above Lanyue City, and the next moment the magnificent alchemy furnace was whistling towards the mountains ahead, leaving behind a lot of discussions on the scene.
"What do you think Senior Dan is doing here in Xiyue Sect at this time?"
"Maybe an elder from Xiyue Sect wants to find Senior Dan to make an elixir."
"Bullshit, if the elders of Xiyue Sect asked Senior Dan to refine an elixir, then the elders would come to the door. Didn't you hear Senior Dan shouting, 'Come and pay respect to the mountain?'"
"Then what could it be? You act as if you know it."
"I really knew that my uncle was an inner disciple of the Xiyue Sect."
Chu Ning, who was originally planning to look for the disciples of Xiyue Sect, did not slow down his pace when he heard this, but his spiritual sense was paying attention.
Everyone has curiosity.
"Did you notice the young man on the alchemy furnace? He should be Dan Shengzi's disciple. If I'm not mistaken, Dan Shengzi should be here to propose marriage to a female inner sect disciple of Xiyue Sect on behalf of his disciple..."
After hearing this, Chu Ning withdrew his spiritual sense. He was sure that this person was talking nonsense.
Proposing marriage definitely doesn't happen in this way.
It is even more impossible not to say hello in advance. Both Xiyue Sect and Senior Dan want to save face.
In Lanyue City, Chu Ning did not fully spread out his spiritual sense. There is an unwritten rule in the circle of cultivators that releasing all spiritual sense in the city is tantamount to a provocation to the city's managers.
After asking a cultivator on the way about the Xiyue Sect's stronghold in the city, Chu Ning realized that Lanyue City was built on the mountain and behind the city gate was the entrance to the Xiyue Sect.
Along the way, Chu Ning took his time and it took him three hours to reach the rear of Lanyue City.
At this point, there were fewer people, but more female cultivators.
In Xiyue Sect, 90% of the cultivators are female, and less than 10% are male. This is what Chu Ning learned before he came here.
These female cultivators who were walking towards them also looked at Chu Ning curiously. Chu Ning smiled and nodded, and passed by them.
"This guy is not bad. He looks young and not bad looking. Guess which senior sister he is here to see?"
"I don't know which senior sister I'm looking for, but I guess it's hopeless."
"Why, you guys like this male cultivator, and if that senior sister doesn't want him, are you going to take advantage of him?"
…
Several female cultivators were joking in low voices, and Chu Ning's mouth twitched as he listened. So, are there many male cultivators in Lanyue City who come to propose love every day but get rejected?
Soon, Chu Ning saw the courtship of the male cultivators in the eyes of these female cultivators.
At the entrance of Xiyue Sect, several male cultivators were standing there. Some were walking slowly, some were lowering their heads in thought, and some were raising their heads in anticipation of the sect entrance.
Chu Ning was able to determine that these male cultivators were here to court him. The reason was very simple: they exuded a strong hormonal scent, just like the boys who waited downstairs of the girls' dormitory when he was in college.
There is an octagonal pavilion at the entrance. At this moment, three female practitioners are sitting in the pavilion, one is in the early stage of foundation building, and two are in the late stage of Qi Condensation.
Seeing Chu Ning walking straight over, all the male cultivators looked over.
"If you want to see a certain senior sister, one hundred spirit stones are required to deliver a verbal message, and two hundred spirit stones are required to deliver a written letter." Before Chu Ning could get close, a cultivator in the late Qi Condensation stage in the pavilion spoke immediately.
One hundred spirit stones for a message? Even the wealthy Chu Ning was a little surprised. Sure enough, the money from licking dogs was the easiest to make.
"Shuang'er, don't be unreasonable."
The female foundation-building cultivator scolded, stood up from the pavilion, and looked at Chu Ning: "Senior, is there anything wrong?"
Li Yao couldn't see through the realm of the person in front of him, so he was at least in the middle stage of foundation building. To reach the middle stage of foundation building, it would take at least a hundred years of cultivation, unless one was a genius like Junior Sister Tang.
But Junior Sister Tang is a disciple that the sect has trained with all its strength, so she is naturally different. The only ones who can be compared with Junior Sister Tang are the talented disciples from other sects.
A cultivator who has practiced for a hundred years would naturally not wait here for a fellow apprentice sister on the mountain like those young people.
"Well, I wonder if your Majesty Tang Ruowei is here?"
"Junior Sister Tang?"
Li Yao's expression turned serious: "Who are you?"
The two female cultivators in the late Qi Condensation stage nearby all looked over with curiosity when they heard this.
"My name is Chu Ning."
Chu Ning smiled, but the next moment he was a little confused.
Because in his imagination, after he said the name, the expressions of the disciples of Xiyue Sect should be shocked and questioning.
Since Tang Ruowei is already the chief disciple of Xiyue Sect, then as Tang Ruowei's fiancé, the female disciples of Xiyue Sect should naturally have heard of my name.
Now that I see myself, my first reaction is shock.
Of course, according to the general plot development, the disciples of Xiyue Sect will feel that they are not worthy of Tang Ruowei and will have doubts about themselves. There might even be one or two who will jump out to cause trouble.
Chu Ning thought about how to deal with people who are looking for trouble.
But he just hadn't expected this kind of reaction.
When the three female cultivators from Xiyue Sect heard their own names, their expressions were puzzled, just like they were hearing the names of a stranger.
"Senior Chu, are you and Junior Sister Tang old acquaintances?" Li Yao asked uncertainly.
"?"
So the disciples of Xiyue Sect don’t know about their relationship with Tang Ruowei, and don’t know that he is Tang Ruowei’s fiancé who she herself admits to?
Just as Chu Ning was about to answer, a figure riding a sword came from behind him and stopped behind him.
"Senior Sister Yao."
The two female cultivators in the late Qi Condensation stage immediately greeted them respectfully.
"Junior Sister Yao is back." Li Yao also spoke with a smile.
Chu Ning turned around and looked at the woman in black, but he started to murmur in his heart, what a coincidence, the woman who made him take the blame appeared.
Yao Xin glanced at Chu Ning. She felt that there was something strange in the way he looked at her, but when she looked closely, she found that his expression had returned to calm.
"This man is indeed an old acquaintance of Junior Sister Tang. I will take him into the sect."
"Okay." Li Yao nodded.
"Chu...Fellow Daoist Chu, follow me."
Yao Xin led the way in front. Chu Ning smiled at Li Yao and the other two female cultivators, followed Yao Xin and entered the mountain gate of Xiyue Sect.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The moment he stepped into the sect's entrance, Chu Ning clearly felt a surge of energy sweeping through his body, causing even the spiritual liquid in his dantian to fluctuate.
"This is our sect's mountain protection formation. Any outsider who enters the mountain gate for the first time will be scanned by the formation."
Yao Xin saw Chu Ning pause for a moment and began to explain.
"As expected of a big sect, it's really powerful." Chu Ning flattered him.
Now that I have entered the mountain gate and looked far ahead, the scene I saw is completely different from that outside the mountain gate.
Outside the mountain gate, one can only see from afar the towering peaks, the beautiful scenery and the spiritual energy. It must be a great place for spiritual practice.
After entering the mountain gate, you can see undulating mountains stretching endlessly. The first one that catches your eye is a mountain cliff that rises into the clouds, with waterfalls falling downstream, and the sound shaking all around.
Yao Xin summoned the flying sword again and headed towards the waterfall, and Chu Ning hurriedly followed.
After passing the waterfall, you will see a completely different scenery.
The vast sea of clouds rises, the spiritual energy lingers, the mountains stand in rows, many of which are covered with towering green pines and bamboos. Flying in the sky, the melodious sound of birds can be heard all the way, as if you are in a fairyland.
Among these mountains, the one that caught Chu Ning's attention the most was one of them.
A crescent-shaped mountain stands among the many peaks, and the surrounding peaks surround it like stars surrounding the moon.
"This is the main peak of our Xiyue Sect, Xiyue Peak, also known as Yue Peak by the outside world." Yao Xin saw the mountain that Chu Ning was looking at and introduced it to him.
"What a masterpiece! What about Rifeng?"
The Sun-Moon Mountain is definitely not the Xiyue Peak. There should be another corresponding mountain that is related to the sun.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please look down along Xiyue Peak."
Chu Ning looked down, and the next moment the corner of his mouth twitched: "Fellow Daoist Yao, are you saying that the short spherical peak is the Sun Peak?"
"To be precise, it is called Red Sun Peak. All male cultivators of Xiyue Sect practice on this peak."
"?"
Seeing the Red Sun Peak, Chu Ning could already imagine how low the status of male cultivators in the Xiyue Sect was.
There is no emperor in the human race.
Yao Xin noticed the emotion on Chu Ning's face from the corner of her eye, wondering what was there to be emotional about? She was still quite curious about Chu Ning.
The other party was in the middle stage of foundation building. Logically, she should call him "senior" like Senior Sister Li did. However, she knew Chu Ning's real age from Junior Sister Tang. He was not even older than herself, so she was embarrassed to call him "senior".
In fact, when she was flying on the sword and had not yet landed, she heard the name "Chu Ning" and saw the person Chu Ning, and her heart was shocked.
She had known for a long time that Junior Sister Tang had a lover in the Hundred Cities area. According to what Senior Sister Liu had revealed, that man was also a genius, the same age as Junior Sister Tang, and had also reached the foundation-building stage.
At that time, she just sighed and said that only someone with the same talent as her could be noticed by Junior Sister Tang.
A year ago, Junior Sister Tang followed her uncle to the Hundred Cities area, and she also went with him.
Seeing Junior Sister Tang's anxious expression, she was still a little confused about what had happened. It was not until Senior Sister Liu came back and told her that she realized that Junior Sister Tang was worried that something had happened to her lover.
Wen Jinshan from the Hundred Cities area has come to the end of his life. Ordinary disciples who are not in the Hundred Cities area do not know this news, but the uncle and others have a source of information.
Junior Sister Tang learned the news from her uncle, and begged him to take her to Wenjin Mountain. Her uncle loved Junior Sister Tang very much, so he not only agreed, but also asked Seventh Uncle to go along.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, Junior Sister Tang originally announced that you were her fiancé in order to prevent you from being wanted. This was a temporary solution. This news has not spread in Xiyue Sect. Apart from the Sect Master and the elders, there are few people in the entire Xiyue Sect who know about it."
Chu Ning looked at Yao Xin, so what does this mean? Seeing the doubt in Chu Ning's eyes, Yao Xin was a little speechless. This person is a genius in cultivation, but he doesn't understand the ways of the world at all? "Fellow Daoist Chu, you and Junior Sister Tang are from the same place. May I ask what is the process for you men and women to get married?"
Yao Xin made a suggestion, and Chu Ning suddenly understood what he meant.
When talking about marriage, the man must first arrange for his elders to come to propose marriage. This is the rule.
If it weren't for the incident in Shanyang City, my master would have brought me to Xiyue Sect to propose marriage long ago. Only then could Tang Ruowei and I be called fiancé and fiancée.
Now I haven't come to propose marriage. If the situation hadn't been critical at that time, I'm afraid Tang Ruowei's master would not agree to Tang Ruowei directly saying that he is her fiancé.
Women in the mortal world should be reserved, and the same applies to female cultivators.
Especially since Tang Ruowei is now the chief disciple of Xiyue Sect. If word gets out that she claims to be the man's fiancée before the man even comes to propose, it will give people the impression that she is taking the initiative to get close to him.
This will have some impact on the reputation of Xiyue Sect. As for Tang Ruowei, even if she herself doesn't care, other disciples in the sect will definitely discuss it in private.
Therefore, this news was only circulated in the Hundred Cities area, and even in the Hundred Cities area, it was only circulated in a small range.
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yao. I now know what to do."
"Master Uncle and the elders made this arrangement for Junior Sister Tang's sake."
Yao Xin explained that she was afraid that Chu Ning would resent her uncle and the others because of this. After all, these geniuses were all proud and arrogant, and it would be bad if any misunderstandings arose.
To be honest, judging from their appearance and realm alone, Chu Ning and Junior Sister Tang are a match made in heaven.
"Don't worry, Brother Yao. Chu Ning is not someone who doesn't know what is good for him."
Knowing what Yao Xin was worried about, Chu Ning gave Yao Xin a reassurance.
A quarter of an hour later, Yao Xin brought Chu Ning to a small hill.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter Xiyue Peak without the permission of the elders. Fellow Daoist Chu, please rest here for a while. I have already sent a message to Junior Sister Tang, and I think Junior Sister Tang will be here soon."
Yao Xin placed Chu Ning in a courtyard on this small hill and left tactfully.
Watching Yao Xin fly away again, Chu Ning muttered in his heart: "This woman is pretty good, so let her take the blame."
