Chapter 434: Can’t Just Sit and Wait
Thinking of Tangshan.
When Tang Ruowei followed Chu Ning to the spiritual field, the surprise on her pretty face never disappeared.
East China Sea.
It is a domain that lacks spiritual medicine.
In coastal areas, many spiritual medicines are not suitable for cultivation, so the cultivators in the East China Sea have to spend a lot of spirit crystals every year to purchase spiritual medicines and elixirs from other regions.
Of course, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea.
After fighting with the sea clan for so many years, the East China Sea has also learned to take the sea clan's demon core and flesh and blood to sell to other regions in order to make up for the consumption of spirit crystals.
But even so, the cultivators in the East China Sea would still feel a little envious when faced with the spiritual medicines from other domains. After all, growing spiritual medicines does not require risking one's life, but obtaining the corpses of sea creatures and demon pills requires risking one's life.
This is one of the reasons why Tang Ruowei was shocked.
The more important reason is that the spiritual medicines planted in Chu Ning's spiritual fields are of too high a grade.
She was neither an alchemist nor a spiritual herb grower, so she didn't know much about spiritual herbs and didn't even recognize many of the spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields.
But the few spiritual medicines she knew were all of grade six or seven. Although she didn't know the other spiritual medicines, they could be planted together with these grade six or seven spiritual medicines, so the grade would naturally not be too different.
Moreover, the higher the grade of the spiritual medicine, the stronger the spirituality it exudes. Judging from this point alone, even those who don't understand spiritual medicine can tell whether the grade of the spiritual medicine is high or low. The only difference may be that they cannot tell whether it is the seventh or eighth grade.
"The spiritual medicines we have on our entire Suxin Island are not as abundant as those on your hill. How do you grow them?"
Tang Ruowei was very curious. High-level spiritual medicines were extremely difficult to grow. It was already very good if a mountain range could produce one high-level spiritual medicine, because there was only so much spiritual energy in a mountain range. How did Chu Ning plant these high-level spiritual medicines together and make them grow so well?
"Because I am a disciple of the Mountain Sect, all the magical powers of the Mountain Sect are related to mountains, and I have a unique advantage in growing spiritual medicines."
Chu Ning gave Tang Ruowei a brief explanation, and then took Tang Ruowei to visit Nian Tangshan again.
Tang Ruowei and Chu Ning lived in Nian Tang Mountain. The disciples of Danshan Sect did not come to disturb them, but the news about Chu Ning on the spiritual network was always a hot topic among everyone.
Was what Senior Shan Zong did right or wrong?
Very controversial!
Should Chu Ning, a disciple of Shanzong, bear the consequences of this?
This is also a hot topic among the cultivators in the Central Region. Of course, most cultivators think that these things have little to do with Chu Ning.
After all, Chu Ning didn't do it, and it has been so many years since the incident, it should have become dust long ago.
In the small group that Chu Ning created alone, Lu Sizhong and others also comforted Chu Ning. What happened by the senior from Shan Sect happened so long ago and it shouldn't cause too much involvement to him. What's more, there are still the powerful Dongxu masters in Danshan Sect, so the major sects will not cause trouble to him.
Lu Sizhong and others did not just want to comfort Chu Ning. After they returned, they also asked about the attitudes of their elders and got confirmation that their elders had no hostility towards Chu Ning.
However, these comforting words did not make Chu Ning relax his vigilance.
Zuo Xuan from the Soul Realm has been trying to deal with me. He was willing to offend the Xiang family to confirm whether I was a disciple of the Shan Sect. He must have some gains in exposing his identity as a disciple of the Shan Sect.
It’s just that the storm hasn’t arrived yet.
"I originally thought that my strength in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm was enough, but now it seems that it is not enough. If I really want to face the storms in the future, I will need to be at least in the Void Realm."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly in his heart. The Dongxu Realm was too far away. Even if he had another chance, he would not be able to enter the Dongxu Realm within a thousand years. And this storm would not give him a thousand years to wait.
He was never one to sit and wait for death, he had to think of ways to save himself.
…
…
Zifu Academy.
Hunting ground.
"Congratulations, big brother, for entering the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation!"
When the prince of the Di Yi tribe saw Chu Ning coming out of the cave, he immediately came up to him.
"My breakthrough to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm caused any commotion?"
"No, don't worry, big brother. I have arranged for my tribesmen to clear the surrounding area. No ferocious beasts know that you have made a breakthrough."
"Third brother, you said I want to enter that palace, is there any way?"
"Palace? Brother, do you mean the area in the center?"
The prince of the Diyi tribe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. The palace has not been opened for so many years. I guess it will only be opened after the next batch of people come in. There are also many powerful beasts guarding the mountains."
Chu Ning's eyes were uncertain. He was now facing danger in Danyu, and the only place where he might have a chance was the palace. If he wanted to break the impasse, he could only risk entering the palace to see if he could find a way out.
Anyway, this is a clone. Even if it really dies at the hands of a ferocious beast, it will only lose the chance to continue staying in the hunting ground.
"Brother, do you really want to go in?"
The prince of the Diyi tribe saw that Chu Ning looked thoughtful and asked another question.
"Well, there is a reason why I have to go in."
Chu Ning was very determined. The prince of the Diyi tribe was silent for a few breaths, and then said: "If you really want to go in, I think you can discuss it with the snow leopard."
"snow leopard?"
Chu Ning thought of the man from the Soul Realm. When he was setting up the formation on the mountain, he opened his mouth and exposed the other party's conspiracy. At that time, a snow leopard monster was chasing the man from the Soul Realm.
"Well, that snow leopard also came from the abyss, and it has some friendship with our Diyi tribe. Your shout at the beginning was also a reminder to them, big brother. The snow leopard should not have a bad impression of you, big brother."
Hearing the words of the prince of the Di Yi tribe, Chu Ning shook his head. It might not be enough to ask the snow leopard to help him just because of these things. The most important thing was that the snow leopard itself was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and did not have much say in the mountains.
"You should try to sound out the snow leopard's attitude first."
Although he felt that the possibility was not high, Chu Ning still asked the prince of the Di Yi tribe to negotiate. After all, there was no better way at the moment.
A day later, the prince of the Diyi tribe returned.
"Brother, the snow leopard agreed."
The prince of the Diyi tribe was very excited. Chu Ning frowned. He agreed? "Did he have any request?"
"Yes, he wants you to swear an oath that if you can really enter the palace, you must bring out a corpse from it."
"Bone?"
"Brother, you don't know that the main reason why the snow leopard stayed here was not for the opportunity, but to bring back his father's body..."
After hearing the story told by the prince of the Diyi tribe, Chu Ning finally understood why the snow leopard agreed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The father of this snow leopard was a ferocious beast in the late stage of transformation. He died when he entered the palace to compete for luck, and his body was left in the palace.
The main purpose of Snow Leopard coming here was to bring back his father's body, but that palace was not one that a beast in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm like him was qualified to enter.
"If he just wants to bring back the corpse, he can definitely seek cooperation from other late-stage Spiritualization beasts. As long as he pays a certain price, those late-stage Spiritualization beasts that have entered should agree."
It’s just a piece of cake, there’s no reason for those ferocious beasts in the late stage of transformation to refuse.
"Brother, I have asked him before, but he didn't give a clear answer. I think it is very likely that there is something good on his father's body. It may be useful to fierce beasts, but useless to human cultivators."
The Di Ant tribe gave their own guess. Chu Ning pondered for a moment and felt that this possibility was very high.
But the details will have to wait until he meets the snow leopard.
Now he has broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. When facing a ferocious beast in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even if he cannot defeat it, he still has a chance to escape.
One day later!
Chu Ning met the ferocious snow leopard in the territory of the Di Yi tribe.
"Do you have a way to enter that palace? That palace is usually closed!"
When the ferocious snow leopard saw Chu Ning, it glanced at Chu Ning and a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes. He remembered that this human cultivator was only in the early stage of the God Transformation Realm back then, but he did not expect that he had entered the middle stage of the God Transformation Realm now. It seemed that he had killed many ferocious beasts over the years.
After taking another glance at the prince of the Diyi tribe who had entered the state of transformation, Snow Leopard had an idea in his mind.
This is a collusion between humans and demons.
However, this has nothing to do with him, as these ferocious beasts are originally independent entities.
"Your Excellency should know that this palace was prepared for our human cultivators, but we were blocked by you demons."
Chu Ning did not give a direct answer because he could not guarantee it and could only take a risk.
Seeing the snow leopard remain silent, he knew that his guess was correct. The palace was indeed prepared for human monks, but later something unexpected happened in the academy and all the monks were blocked in the outer area.
"I can let you get close to the palace, but you only have ten breaths. If you can't enter within ten breaths, you will be torn into pieces by other ferocious beasts."
The snow leopard was very direct. Chu Ning asked, "How can you let me get close to the palace without being discovered by other beasts?"
"Soon, a spiritual medicine will mature and attract the attention of most of the ferocious beasts. By that time, you will pass through my territory."
Chu Ning understood, and taking advantage of the fact that the ferocious beasts were distracted by the elixir, he sneaked towards the palace.
"Well, if I can't enter the palace, it's my own fate."
Chu Ning knew that he had to appear confident at this time and not let the snow leopard seem like he had no confidence at all in being able to open the palace.
"Wait for my notification."
The snow leopard was very straightforward. After the conversation, he turned around and left.
"Uncle Bao, I'll see you off."
The prince of the Di-ant tribe spoke quickly. The snow leopard stopped, looked at him, and said, "No matter whether this human can enter the palace, I advise you to leave the hunting grounds as soon as possible, otherwise the wrath of those powerful beings will not be something you can withstand."
"ah?"
There was a look of surprise on the face of the prince of the Diyi tribe, but Chu Ning understood why the Snow Leopard said that.
If a human cultivator like me entered the palace, those ferocious beasts in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation would certainly be furious and would investigate how I entered. By then, they would also be able to find out about the Diyi Clan.
If the third brother doesn't leave, the snow leopard will be in danger of being exposed. If the third brother leaves, the snow leopard can blame everything on him.
After watching the snow leopard walk away, Chu Ning said seriously, "He is right. When I started climbing the mountain, you took your people away from the hunting ground."
"Brother, I can't bear to leave you."
"If we are destined to meet, we will naturally meet in the future. In the next few days, I will teach you everything I know so that you can return to the tribe and have the means to protect yourself."
PS: My father-in-law has completed his housewarming and went home today. I will send you two big chapters tomorrow to make up for what I haven’t written in the past few days.
