Chapter 156 Evolution Mountain, you call this a mountain?

Red Sun Peak!

Although the mountain is short and round, it looks like a sandbag when viewed from a high place.

But after landing, Chu Ning discovered that this was a market town.

Streets, shops...

There is everything, both male and female.

Chu Ning was not surprised that there was a market inside the mountain gate of Xiyue Sect, but he did not expect that the market would be located at the foot of Hongri Peak.

The male cultivator who was holding Chu Ning flew directly on his sword and took Chu Ning through the market and came to a red building.

"Sisters, please wait a moment. A senior brother is coming!"

The male cultivator shouted loudly, and when he landed on the ground, he happened to be at the entrance of the red building.

Chu Ning was stunned for a moment. He had a bad premonition. After his spiritual sense was unfolded, he felt even worse.

Because at this moment, four female cultivators walked out of the door, each of them was in the Foundation Establishment Stage and had exquisite looks.

There are no ugly female monks in the monastic circle.

When the four girls saw Chu Ning, their eyes lit up. The one in the middle, who was wearing green clothes, asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen you before, Senior Brother?"

"Ahem, maybe this..."

"It doesn't matter if we've never met before. Are you willing to marry me?" Another female cultivator in white clothes nearby asked directly.

Chu Ning was stunned for a moment. With a quick glance of his spiritual sense, he roughly guessed what was going on, but he didn't expect this female cultivator to be so direct? Or are all female cultivators of the Xiyue Sect so direct?

"Sorry, I already have someone I love." Chu Ning shook his head and refused.

"The one you like? Which peak is she from?"

Chu Ning was about to say it was Tang Ruowei's name, but thinking of Liu Yi's original explanation that the affair between him and Tang Ruowei was not made public, he had to change his words.

"She's not my ideal partner, I just adore her unilaterally. For her, there is no room for other women in my heart."

Chu Ning had a look of infatuation on his face, and he thought that this description of himself should leave a good impression in the eyes of these female cultivators.

Women all like affectionate men.

But to Chu Ning's surprise, the four female cultivators looked disdainful, especially the female cultivator in white who just spoke, she curled her lips and said, "Unrequited love, no future."

Chu Ning: ...

"Senior Sister, I think there are no men left on Hongri Peak. Let's go out of the mountain gate and look for them."

The female cultivator in white looked at the female cultivator in green in the middle. The female cultivator in green was in the middle stage of foundation building. She nodded when she heard that, glanced at the male cultivators around her with a look of disappointment, and flew away on her sword with the three women.

"It's over. Those male cultivators outside will get the advantage again."

"We've been looked down upon once again. We can't go on like this."

Seeing the four women leave, the male cultivators present sighed. Chu Ning was a little confused. He guessed that these four female cultivators were looking for a husband and they didn't like the male cultivators from Hongri Peak.

Is this the plot?

"Brother, you said... you too, what's the good of unrequited love? The girl just now is the disciple of the Sixteenth Elder. If you agree to it, then it will take off. It's such a good opportunity not to seize it."

The male cultivator who brought Chu Ning here sighed, and the corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. If he really agreed, he might not be able to take off, but Tang Xiaoniu's master would definitely chop him to pieces.

"Junior brother, I am completely confused by what you said. What is going on?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

"Brother, don't you know that you are not from Hongri Peak?"

Meng Simeng immediately distanced himself from Chu Ning, and the other male cultivators around him looked at Chu Ning with caution upon hearing what he said.

"Hehe, I'm indeed not from Hongri Peak. I'm a guest of Xiyue Sect." Chu Ning explained.

Meng Si slapped his head, realizing that he had made a big mistake: "That's good... Good thing you didn't agree. I almost let you succeed."

Chu Ning: ...

Is it necessary to turn against each other so quickly?

He was praising me for taking off just a moment ago. Is he so hypocritical?

"That's not right. Recently, only Senior Dan Shengzi and his disciples have come to the sect. Apart from them, no other outsiders have come in."

Another male cultivator at the side stared at Chu Ning and asked, "Who are you?"

"This can't be fake, right? Or do you think I can stay in this mountain gate without the permission of Xiyue Sect?"

Chu Ning took out the pass token Liu Yi gave him. When the male cultivators present saw the pass token, their wariness mostly disappeared.

"You really are here to visit me. I'm really sorry for what I did just now, senior brother. I thought you were the senior brother who was practicing in seclusion in Hongri Peak." Meng Simeng said embarrassedly.

"It's okay. I was just wandering around and was pulled here by my junior brother by chance."

Chu Ning was very generous. If he wanted to know where on Hongri Peak could attract the mountain seeds in his body, he had to stay on Hongri Peak first. So it was necessary to have a good relationship with the male cultivators on Hongri Peak.

"Brother, you are so generous. I will treat you to a drink to atone for your sins."

"It would be disrespectful to refuse."

After the crowd dispersed, Meng Sizheng took Chu Ning to a tavern in the market at the foot of the mountain.

After walking around the market, Chu Ning had an understanding of the layout of the entire market. It was similar to the market in Wen Jinzong, but the area and flow of people were smaller.

The market of Wenjin Sect is aimed at the entire Wenjin City and other cultivators passing by, while the market of Hongri Peak is aimed at the disciples of Xiyue Sect. Since the number of people is small, there is no comparison, and the scale is naturally much smaller.

If there is one thing that the entire Hongri Peak market lacks compared to the Wenjin Sect market, it is the absence of brothels like Miaoxian Pavilion.

So, what Meng Sizeng said about drinking was real drinking.

Chu Ning was a little disappointed.

"Did Fellow Daoist Chu come here with the elders?"

On the way, Chu Ning and Meng Simeng already knew each other's names.

"No, I came to Xiyue Sect alone."

Meng Si Zeng raised his eyes in surprise: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Chu should be from a famous sect."

"Why do you say that, Brother Meng?" Chu Ning asked back.

"If Fellow Daoist Chu is not from a famous sect, how can he live in Xiyue Sect?"

Chu Ning's revealed strength is that of the middle stage of foundation building, which is impressive enough for the younger generation, but in the eyes of the top leaders of Xiyue Sect, he is just a junior.

It is impossible for a foundation-building cultivator to live in Xiyue Sect relying solely on his own strength.

"My master is quite famous." Chu Ning answered ambiguously.

Meng Simeng showed an expression of understanding, and he guessed that this fellow Chu must have a powerful background.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you said earlier that you have a crush on someone. Could it be that the crush is a certain senior sister in the sect? Did you come to the sect just for this senior sister?"

Thinking of what Chu Ning said before, Meng Simeng was filled with awe. Fellow Daoist Chu was a truly infatuated man who actually followed her all the way to the sect.

"Well……"

Chu Ning could guess from Meng Sizen's expression what kind of plot this person was imagining.

It's nothing more than thinking that they are the core disciples of a big sect, and for a female cultivator from Xiyue Sect, they choose to leave the sect, and may even go to Xiyue Sect despite the punishment and dissuasion from their senior teachers.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you don't have to answer. I already know."

Meng Sizeng patted Chu Ning on the shoulder with an expression of a man understanding another.

Okay, I won’t explain it myself.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, what happened just now? Was it a female cultivator from the Xiyue Sect who came here to look for a Taoist partner?"

Chu Ning decided to change the subject. Meng Si Zeng sighed when he heard this and said, "Many sisters in the sect have been practicing in the mountain gate, but they have to find a Taoist partner when they get older. In the spirit of keeping the wealth within the family, they will naturally give priority to our fellow Taoists in Hongri Peak. This red building was built for these sisters..."

After Meng Sizeng's explanation, Chu Ning finally understood what was going on.

Most of the female cultivators in Xiyue Sect will get married, especially after they are sure that the possibility of forming a pill is very small, they will want to find a Taoist partner, and the male cultivators in Hongri Peak naturally hope to marry these female cultivators.

Therefore, some people with good intentions built the Red Tower. All female cultivators who were looking for a mate would come to the Red Tower. Those on Hongri Peak who did not have a Taoist partner but wanted to find one would immediately rush to the Red Tower.

This Red Mansion is like a matchmaking agency.

If the female cultivators have not found anyone they like in the Red Tower, they will leave the mountain gate. Of course, the female cultivators of the Xiyue Sect will be much more reserved outside and will not say openly that they are out to find a Taoist partner.

In Meng Sixeng's words, inside the mountain gate, everyone is a family and there is no need to pretend. But it is different outside, as it represents the face of the Xiyue Sect.

Many female sisters who found their partners outside thought that their sincerity touched those sisters, and they had no idea that those sisters chose them at first sight.

"High-end prey often appear in the form of hunters." Chu Ning concluded.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Chu summarized it very well. That's exactly what you meant."

Meng Simeng's eyes lit up, and he raised his glass and drank with Chu Ning.

Meng Si was once a very talkative person. The advantage of drinking with a talkative person is that you can quickly understand the situation of the entire Hongri Peak. The disadvantage is that some of the words may be exaggerated, and you can only judge the truth by yourself.

For Chu Ning, the issue that concerned him most was what attracted the mountain species to Hongri Peak. For this reason, he specifically asked about the origin of Hongri Peak. Unfortunately, Meng Simeng didn't know much about it.

For this reason, Chu Ning had to settle for the second best and asked if an outsider like him could live on Hongri Peak.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, if it were someone else, they really wouldn't be able to do this, but I'm really touched by your devotion. I'll take care of this matter. I'll take you to a place."

"Thank you so much, Brother Meng. If you need any spiritual stones or anything, please let me know."

"A few spirit stones are nothing. Fellow Daoist Chu, you are looking down on me. Fellow Daoist Chu and I hit it off right away. Talking about spirit stones is vulgar."

Chu Ning had to admit that the disciples of these big sects were indeed much simpler than the independent cultivators. If they were independent cultivators, they probably would not help him.

Casual cultivators are all suspicious, and will never take on such a thing unless it benefits them personally, because they cannot guarantee whether they have other purposes for living on Hongri Peak.

What if I have other purposes, as the introducer, I will also be implicated.

In fact, this is the difference between having a backer and not having a backer. The cultivators with a backer will act more generously because they don’t need to think too much. If the sky falls, there will be someone to support them. But it is different for the independent cultivators. If the sky collapses, they will be crushed to death.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Meng Simeng is very kind-hearted. This is the first time that Chu Ning has met such a kind-hearted foundation-building cultivator. He is a bit like the senior student he met when he first reported to university.

Knowing that Chu Ning was going to stay at Hongri Peak, he stopped drinking and took Chu Ning to the Land Deed Pavilion in the market town.

The male disciples of Hongri Peak do not stay there forever. Some of them have reached the upper limit of their practice and choose to leave the mountain gate to enjoy life in the outside world.

Others formed Taoist couples with female disciples of Xiyue Sect, so naturally they could not live in Hongri Peak, and would go to live in Lanyue City outside.

Others could not find a Taoist partner in Xiyue Sect, but did not want to live alone, so they chose to find other female cultivators outside. Naturally, they could not live there, and their original caves had to be taken back.

Chu Ning didn't know what method Meng Si had used. The deacon in charge of the Hongri Peak Cave at the Diqi Pavilion didn't ask Chu Ning anything and gave him a map for him to choose from.

"Here it is."

Chu Ning casually clicked on the one closest to the foot of the mountain. This location was not conspicuous, and there were few caves around it. The nearest one was more than ten miles away.

Meng Si took Chu Ning to the cave he had chosen, but stopped at the entrance of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I won't go in. This cave has been vacant for decades."

"Thank you for your help, Brother Meng. I will treat you to a drink after I finish building the cave."

"No problem." Meng Simeng nodded and prepared to leave, but he paused as soon as he took a step.

"What's the matter, Brother Meng?" Chu Ning asked when he saw Meng Sixeng's actions.

"Nothing, just a little curious."

Meng Si Zeng chuckled: "I want to know which senior sister in the sect Fellow Daoist Chu is so infatuated with."

Chu Ning didn't expect Meng Si Zeng to have such a gossipy heart. He hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, I like Tang Ruowei from your clan."

"Senior Sister Tang, Tang..."

Meng Simeng's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked at Chu Ning with an incredible expression.

"You...you like Junior Sister Tang?"

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Chu Ning was curious. Is it wrong for him to like Tang Ruowei?

"You...ah...forget it, Fellow Daoist Chu, please don't tell anyone that you know me. Also, listen to my advice, don't tell anyone that you like Junior Sister Tang."

Meng Simeng lowered his voice, looking like a guilty thief. Chu Ning wondered, "Why is that?"

"Since Junior Sister Tang entered the sect, she has always been the center of attention. Half of the people at Hongri Peak have a crush on her."

Is Miss Tang so popular? She is so popular among the male cultivators at Red Sun Peak.

"It would be fine if you were from our sect, Fellow Daoist Chu, but you are from another sect... so everyone will definitely be dissatisfied with you."

Chu Ning understood what Meng Si Zeng said. In the eyes of the people at Hongri Peak, he was an outsider. This was just like a boy from another school trying to pick up the campus belle. The boys from this school would definitely not tolerate this.

"Anyway, Fellow Daoist Chu, please remember this. I will take my leave now."

Looking at Meng Si Zeng's aggrieved expression, Chu Ning always felt that things were not that simple.

Did I see it wrong? Chu Ning laughed dumbly. He had caused public outrage just by saying that he was Tang Xiaoniu's admirer. If the male cultivators of Hongri Peak knew that he was Tang Xiaoniu's fiancé, they would be furious.

"This place is not safe. Let's leave after we find out the cause of the changes in the mountain species."

Chu Ning muttered and turned to enter the cave. The so-called cave was just a cave. Its luxury was not as good as the cave he was in.

However, Chu Ning did not mind. He simply packed up and moved into the cave.

The next day!

The morning light rises.

The first ray of light shines on the Red Sun Peak.

Chu Ning, who was in the cave, walked out quickly with a light in his eyes. Finally, there was movement.

Wen Jinshan in his dantian was shaking constantly at this moment.

Chu Ning flew into the air on his sword. Looking from high above, the first ray of sunlight fell on the quiet Hongri Peak, and the entire Hongri Peak seemed to be covered with red gauze.

If the distance is farther, it will look like a red sun.

"Is this the origin of the name of Red Sun Peak?"

Chu Ning whispered in his heart, his eyes fell on the place where the first ray of sunlight had landed before, and the next moment his figure fell quickly.

What a coincidence, this location is just above his cave.

“So this is a suitable location to plant mountain seeds.”

To evolve a mountain using mountain seeds, the first step is to plant the mountain seeds, and then refine them after they absorb enough earth energy.

"Don't worry. I'm an outsider, and maybe someone is watching me. Let's talk about it later."

This time, a month passed.

For a whole month, Chu Ning stayed in the cave without going out. He believed that even the most patient person would not stare at him for a whole month.

What's more, with his spiritual sense, unless the person is a Jindan powerhouse, it is impossible to spy on him secretly without being discovered by him.

As for the Jindan expert, he must have nothing better to do than to monitor me for so long.

After making sure it was safe, Chu Ning sat cross-legged where the first ray of sunlight fell.

One day, two days...

After sitting in meditation for seven days, when the first ray of sunlight fell on the eighth day, Chu Ning's dantian shook, and the small Wen Jin Mountain suddenly turned into points of light and floated out from his dantian.

These lights merged with the morning light and gathered at Chu Ning's feet.

The light began to gather, slowly, slowly...

Chu Ning squinted his eyes and watched as a fist-sized mound of earth appeared in front of him.

Half an hour, an hour...

After confirming that the pile of earth had not grown, Chu Ning's eyes were filled with disbelief. He felt as if he had been cheated.

This is not the mountain that he imagined.

The pile of earth was as big as a fist. Any wild beast that came over could dig it up with just a kick of its feet.

I used up all the mountain seeds, and this is what evolved?

Can this thing make all the monks in the world happy? It can't even cover half of the buttocks.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"

In Chu Ning's mind, Lao Hei was laughing so happily that he flew out of Chu Ning's body and flew towards the small mound of earth.

However, a strange scene appeared.

Just when Lao Hei's body was about to touch the small mound of earth, he was suddenly bounced away.

At the same time, a new technique called Yangshan Jue appeared in Chu Ning's mind.

"So that's how it is. I said it couldn't be like this."

After reading the Mountain Nurturing Technique in his mind, Chu Ning felt much better. His steps were correct. The reason why the evolved mountain was so small was because his strength was too low.

Throughout the history of the Mountain Sect, I'm afraid there has never been anyone who evolved a mountain during the Foundation Establishment Stage. That senior probably didn't expect that he would start evolving now.
