Chapter 355 Lu Sizhong: Being fooled (Subscription Request)

Spark Valley, Elders’ Cave.

Chen Fei controlled Zhou Li and the other six people. Originally, he was planning to kill them to silence them, but Zhou Li's last words made him a little afraid.

Of course he had heard of the name Chu Ning.

Although Chu Ning is only at the Nascent Soul stage, he won first place in the newcomer competition and won first place in the Yuanlong list not long ago. He has great influence in the Dan domain.

As a fifth-grade alchemist in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he really cannot compare with Chu Ning in terms of influence in the alchemy field.

Chu Ning came from Chengshan Domain, which was known to everyone in Dan Domain, and Zhou Li was also a cultivator from Chengshan Domain.

When he accepted Zhou Li as his disciple, he also asked Zhou Li indirectly, but from Zhou Li's answer, there was no relationship between the two.

Come to think of it, if Zhou Li has a relationship with Chu Ning, he can completely join Chu Ning after coming to Danyu. With Chu Ning's status in Danshan Sect, it will not be difficult for Zhou Li to join Danshan Sect.

It was because of this judgment that he asked Zhou Li to take the elixir back to Chengshan Territory for testing. Chu Ning had been away from Chengshan Territory for so many years, and even if he had any old friends in Chengshan Territory, they had all passed away.

Chengshan Region, for Chu Ning now, should be nothing but memories.

There is a high possibility that Zhou Li is bluffing him.

"If it's a bluff, it's just to let you live a little longer."

Chen Fei's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he appeared in front of the cave of a disciple of Xinghuo Valley.

"master."

When the man in the cave saw Fade Chen, he hurriedly came out respectfully.

"Go out of the sect and investigate something for me. See if Zhou Li sent a letter to Danshan Sect a few months ago."

The mail delivery business in Danyu is all run by Sihai Trading Company, but Sihai Trading Company will not disclose these matters to the outside world.

However, there is a way to investigate if we really want to. Zhang Tu is the nephew of the owner of Sihai Trading Company outside Xinghuo Valley. The reason why he accepted Zhang Tu as his apprentice was because of his uncle's face.

Zhang Tu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood why his master came to him.

If the master went there himself, his uncle might not necessarily inform him. After all, this is related to the reputation of the company. Once the matter is exposed, his uncle will be severely punished by the company.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely get the result."

Zhang Tu hesitated for just a moment, and then answered confidently.

What the master wanted to ask was whether Senior Brother Zhou had sent a letter to Danshan Sect. His uncle didn't even need to give a direct answer; just a hint with his eyes would be enough.

In this way, even if the truth is exposed, my uncle can find an excuse to get away.

"After I return from Danta, I will accept a few disciples as my personal disciples."

After saying this, Chen Fei left in a daze. Zhang Tu respectfully watched Chen Fei leave, with excitement on his face.

It was no longer a secret in the sect that his master was going to Danta to take the assessment for a sixth-grade alchemist.

And what the master said to him now meant that as long as he could accomplish this matter, when the master became a sixth-rank alchemist, he would definitely have a place as the master's disciple.

Being the direct disciple of a sixth-rank alchemist was a world of difference from his current status as a registered disciple.

Zhang Tu hurriedly left the cave and headed out of the valley.

…

…

Three days later.

"It is said that this Spark Valley was founded less than two thousand years ago, but it is already striving to become a Class C sect. It must have unique advantages in alchemy."

Outside the Spark Valley, two young men were flying in the sky with swords. One of them suddenly stopped and looked at a huge valley below.

When the other man heard his companion's words, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"Brother Lu, why don't we go to the Spark Valley to pay a visit? Alchemy is all about communication. Learning from the strengths of various schools may help us gain insights into alchemy."

Lu Sizhong pursed his lips. If someone else had said this, he would have ignored it at all.

If he wanted to exchange ideas about alchemy, he should communicate with people of the same level or higher attainments. As the young master of the Lu family, he had no shortage of such opportunities for communication.

What's more, Xinghuo Valley, the so-called D-level sect, is only a D-level sect among the secondary sects, which is a world of difference from the Lu family.

Except for the rookie competition in Danyu, there will be A, B, C, and D divisions. At other times, the sects are only divided into two types. One is the top sects like Danshan Sect and Lu Family, with a total of sixteen. The rest are all inferior sects.

But there are too many second-level sects, and these sects are also divided into strong and weak. These sects came up with their own A, B, C, and D ratings hundreds of years ago.

The Danta Association also supports this. They believe that competition among various forces is a good thing for the Dan Domain as a whole. For this reason, the Danta Association has provided resource support and also allowed these sects to recruit disciples in the Xinhuo Hall.

Of course, this recruitment was different from the recruitment that Chu Ning and his sect had done at the time.

Although Chu Ning was a D-level back then, this D-level corresponded to the top sects.

Danta will also come up with a rating system for these secondary sects. Newcomers like Chu Ning, who were not favored by the top sects in the past, will be re-rated and arranged to secondary sects according to A, B, C, and D.

The so-called D-level is just the bottom-ranked sect among the second-level sects, which is several levels lower than their Lu family.

But since these words were said by Chu Ning, it was difficult for him to refuse.

As the young master of the Lu family, he is also a genius in alchemy. Among all the alchemists of the same period in the entire Dan Domain, the only one he can take seriously is Chu Ning.

Over the years, he had thought about challenging Chu Ning to another competition several times, but Chu Ning had been staying in Danshan Sect and had not come out, so it was not easy for him to go to him directly.

Unexpectedly, three days ago, Chu Ning suddenly took the initiative to visit their Lu family.

The reason why Chu Ning came to the Lu family was to break through the bottleneck of alchemy.

According to Chu Ning himself, his attainments in alchemy have now reached a bottleneck. He needs to travel around and visit various alchemy sects to absorb the strengths of each.

Lu Sizhong himself didn't know how he was persuaded by Chu Ning. When Chu Ning left the Lu family, he followed Chu Ning and traveled in the Dan area together.

"Brother Chu wants to go to the Spark Valley, then go."

Hearing Lu Sizhong's words, Chu Ning smiled slightly. In the past few days, he had figured out Lu Sizhong's personality.

Lu Sizhong is a genius in alchemy and is also very proud, but he is the type who responds to soft tactics and not hard tactics. If you are arrogant, he will be even more arrogant, but as long as you use soft tactics, Lu Sizhong will easily fall into your trap.

Of course, that was also because he was qualified to be looked at differently by Lu Sizhong. If it were someone else, Lu Sizhong would not even look at him even if he knelt down, let alone use soft tactics.

He had considered carefully before approaching Lu Sizhong. Firstly, Lu Sizhong's identity was there, and secondly, Lu Sizhong had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm a hundred years ago.

Chu Ning carefully recalled the Divine Transformation cultivators in Danyu. Apart from the elders of the sect, the only one he was familiar with was Lu Sizhong.

Of course, this familiarity is what he thinks, after all, they were all contestants in the same rookie competition.

The reason why I didn't look for Zhang Ji and the others was because they, like me, had not yet broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

There are two Divine Transformation monks in the Spark Valley. Although the Divine Transformation monks in the Spark Valley will not attack him, in order to prevent him from doing something desperate, it would be safer to bring Lu Sizhong with him.

…

Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong fell towards the Star Fire Valley. They did not hide their figures, and the disciples guarding the entrance of the Star Fire Valley also sensed them.

When these disciples' spiritual senses swept over Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong, their expressions immediately became respectful.

"Xinghuo Valley disciple Zhang Jun greets the two seniors. I wonder if the two seniors came to Xinghuo Valley?"

"Come to visit, this is the young master of the Lu family."

Chu Ning spoke with a smile. When several disciples of Xinghuo Valley heard this and saw Lu Sizhong standing there proudly, their faces instantly became excited.

The Lu family is the top sect in Danyu, so they have naturally heard of the name of the young master of the Lu family.

I didn't expect that even the young master of the Lu family came to visit their sect? Was he here to visit the sect master or to visit Elder Chen?

In the entire sect, only the sect master and Elder Chen are powerful masters who have reached the state of transformation of spirits. They are probably worthy of a visit from the young master of the Lu family.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Seniors, please follow me."

Zhang Jun hurriedly led Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong towards the valley, and at the same time signaled his companions with his eyes to immediately convey the message to the sect leader.

After a dozen breaths, Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong sensed the breath of a powerful god-transforming master.

"You two distinguished guests have come to Spark Valley. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

The leader of Spark Valley smiled as he led Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong to the main hall of Spark Valley.

After a disciple served him fragrant tea, Gong Qianji looked at Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu and Chu Kuishou are visiting our Spark Valley. What's the matter?"

Leader?

Chu Ning didn't expect that he had such a title.

This title sounds so similar to the one of the courtesans in brothels.

However, Chu Ning soon realized that what he should be talking about is his identity as the number one on the Yuanlong List.

The first on the Yuanlong list is the leader.

As for the fact that the Starfire Valley Sect Master was able to recognize him, Chu Ning was not surprised. This person was only about 1,500 years old and might have watched the rookie competition that year and remembered his appearance.

This Sect Master Gong was the second Sect Master of Xinghuo Valley. It was under his leadership that Xinghuo Valley began to gain momentum. These were the information Chu Ning learned from his investigation of Xinghuo Valley after receiving the jade slip.

"Brother Lu and I were traveling around the Dan Region, preparing to visit various sects. We happened to pass by Spark Valley, so we thought of coming in to visit. I came uninvited, so please don't be offended, Sect Master Gong."

Gong Qianji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Ning's words. These two people suddenly came to Xinghuo Valley without any warning, which really made him nervous, fearing that something bad might happen.

He also rose step by step from being a fifth-rank alchemist. He knew the reason why these two people were traveling together in the Alchemy Realm. He thought that their alchemy level had reached a bottleneck, so they wanted to visit some sects to see if they could gain anything.

This kind of thing is very common in Danyu.

Learning from the strengths of all schools is what many sixth-grade or even seventh-grade alchemists would do. The reason why there are so many alchemy exchange meetings in the Alchemy Domain is for this purpose.

"I heard that in addition to Sect Master Gong, your sect also has an alchemist who is about to reach the sixth rank."

Chu Ning smiled and said, Gong Qianji stroked his beard and said, "That's right, Elder Chen of our sect is already able to refine sixth-grade elixirs, and he will soon go to the Dan Tower to take the sixth-grade alchemist assessment."

There is no need to assess the rank of an alchemist before the fifth rank. Those who can refine fourth-grade pills are fourth-grade alchemists, and those who can refine fifth-grade pills are fifth-grade alchemists.

However, if you want to become an alchemist recognized by Danyu, you must go to Danta for assessment. Of course, you don’t have to take the assessment, but if you don’t take the assessment, you will not be able to obtain the reward resources given by Danta to the sixth-grade alchemist.

When Lu Sizhong heard Chu Ning's words, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. He finally knew why Chu Ning came to Xinghuo Valley.

There is an alchemist in Xinghuo Valley who is about to take the sixth-grade assessment, and both he and Chu Ning are currently stuck at the fifth-grade bottleneck. They will have many common topics with the alchemist in Xinghuo Valley, and perhaps they can really get triggered.

"I have sent a message to Elder Chen, and he will be here soon."

Gong Qianji, Chu Ning and Lu Sizhong were sipping tea. After a while, a figure walked into the hall.

"Elder Chen, let me introduce you. This is the young master of the Lu family, and this is Chu Kuishou."

Gong Qianji introduced Chu Ning to Chen Fei. Chu Ning was also looking at Chen Fei and noticed the flash of fear in Chen Fei's eyes when he looked at him just now.

Is Chen Fei afraid of himself?

Could it be that Zhou Li did something?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning changed his original plan. He stopped smiling, stared at Fade Chen, and said calmly, "Elder Chen, I heard that you have a disciple named Zhou Li. He happens to be an old friend of mine in Chengshan Domain. I wonder if you can let him come and meet me."

Lu Sizhong and Gong Qianji both noticed the change in Chu Ning's aura, and their eyes instantly fell on Chu Ning and Chen Fei.

"Zhou Li and Fellow Daoist Chu have this kind of relationship? Even I, as their master, have never heard him mention it."

Fade Chen smiled, then said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Chu, it's such a coincidence that Zhou Li just left the sect not long ago."

"Really? Where did Zhou Li go?"

"I don't know about that. Zhou Li is just one of my dozen registered disciples. I have been busy refining pills these days and haven't paid much attention to the movements of my disciples. In addition, our Spark Valley does not restrict disciples from leaving the sect, so many disciples do not report when they leave the sect."

"Elder Chen is right. We are a small sect in Spark Valley and don't have so many rules."

Gong Qianji added a sentence to prove Chen Fei's words.

Lu Sizhong who was standing by didn't hear any loophole in Chen Fei's words. In Danyu, the so-called registered disciples were not disciples at all. To put it bluntly, they were just disciples under the name of a master.

It was normal for Chen Fei, who was busy breaking through to become a sixth-rank alchemist, to not care about being a registered disciple.

"That's a coincidence."

Chu Ning looked at Chen Fei deeply. Zhou Li had said in the jade slip that he would go to Danta to report Chen Fei.

So, it was Fade Chen who knew about this and killed Zhou Li to silence him? "When Zhou Li comes back, I will notify Fellow Daoist Chu as soon as possible."

Chen Fei answered with a smile. He had already made up his mind. Zhou Li must die. As long as Zhou Li died, there would be no evidence. It was normal for a Nascent Soul cultivator to die in the Dan Realm.

"Since Zhou Li is not here, then Elder Chen's other disciples, Yang Xuan, Luo Chang, Zhang De and others should be in the sect."

Chen Fei's smile froze instantly. Lu Sizhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He had already realized that Chu Ning came to Xinghuo Valley, probably with other purposes.

I was fooled by this guy.
