Chapter 538 If you can’t use it, bury it in the toilet
Next, Chu Ning made several requests to Yun Anlan, or to the external environment to be more precise.
To enter the Purple Mansion, in addition to paying spirit crystals, one must also swear an oath not to interfere in the northern border.
This means that after the three hundred years have passed, the foreign cultivators who have entered the Purple Mansion cannot attack the Northern Territory.
More than two hundred gods-transforming monks, this is an extraordinary force.
…
Three days later.
Yun Anlan is here.
"The outside world agreed."
Chu Ning was not surprised at all when he heard this. He would have been surprised if the sects from outside the realm did not agree with him.
Preventing these cultivators who entered the Purple Mansion from attacking the Northern Territory was nothing to those powerful Dongxu masters in the outer realms, because these Dongxu masters were confident that as long as they could come in, one person could sweep across the entire Northern Territory.
The reason why it took three days to reply was probably to appease the Shao family, the Yin-Yang Sect, and the forces behind Kuangzhan.
"This piece of news isn't worth another special trip."
Chu Ning looked at Yun Anlan and only informed him that the outside world had agreed and could send a message through the spiritual network.
"Why, you don't want to see me?"
Yun Anlan raised the corners of his lips with a hint of dissatisfaction. Chu Ning explained: "Of course not. There is a secret to longevity in our hometown."
"What's the secret?"
"If you want to live longer, look at more beautiful women and mind your own business."
"So, in your eyes, I am a beauty?"
"How can the word 'beauty' describe Fellow Daoist Yun? She should be described as a Ninth Heaven Fairy."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Yun Anlan blinked and said, "How does that compare to your two wives?"
"My two wives are the most beautiful in the world in my heart, and Fellow Daoist Yun is naturally the most beautiful in the hearts of other cultivators."
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore."
Yun Anlan curled his lips and said, "I did come here for another reason. The Yin Yang Sect and the Shao Family wanted me to ask you to return those two virtual weapons."
"How dare they make such a request?"
"Those two virtual weapons both have owners. Even in your hands, they are useless. They are like pieces of scrap metal. To some extent, they will also threaten your safety."
Chu Ning smiled. He had also studied the two virtual weapons and found them to be indeed unusable, but that didn't mean he had to return them.
The forces behind Yin Yang Sect and Kuang Zhan are threatening me by saying that they can control virtual weapons. If they can control virtual weapons one day, they can assassinate me.
However, Chu Ning knew clearly that with the existence of the Forbidden Void Formation, it was not easy to control the two virtual weapons remotely. Otherwise, with the hatred these two families had for him, they would have directly driven the virtual weapons to kill him long ago, and there would be no need to find Yun Anlan to ask for them from him.
"I know you will definitely not return it, but these two families asked me to tell you something. You can propose conditions."
Yun Anlan came to Danshan Sect, of course not to threaten Chu Ning, her side was on Chu Ning's side.
"Do you think I should return these two virtual weapons to them?" Chu Ning asked back.
"I asked my grandfather about this question. He suggested that you return it. A virtual weapon is not an ordinary magic weapon, especially one with an owner. You cannot use it at all, even if you have the magical power to control objects."
When Chu Ning heard Yun Anlan mention the ability to control objects, his pupils shrank.
"Don't look at me like that. That's what my grandfather told me."
Chu Ning fell silent. The art of controlling weapons was one of his trump cards. He did not expect that the ancestor of the Yun family could actually see through it.
"My grandfather said that if you want to use these two virtual instruments, even if you use the magical power of controlling objects, it will take thousands of years. By that time, you may not be able to use these two virtual instruments."
"In comparison, it is more cost-effective to exchange these two virtual instruments for what I need now."
This time Chu Ning did not remain silent, but asked directly: "Then according to what your grandfather said, what should I exchange for it?"
Hearing Chu Ning's question, Yun Anlan smiled bitterly: "Grandfather really guessed it right."
Chu Ning: “?”
Seeing Chu Ning's confusion, Yun Anlan explained: "Before I came here, when I told my grandfather about this matter, he said that you would definitely ask him what to ask for."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yun and I are close friends, not to mention that Sihai Trading Company is a strategic partner. Fellow Daoist Yun's grandfather is my grandfather." Chu Ning said without any embarrassment.
Yun Anlan fell silent. She hadn't finished speaking yet.
She felt that her grandfather's guess must be wrong. Chu Ning was not a member of the Yun family, so why would he ask her grandfather? She even made a bet with her grandfather for this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now it seems that my grandfather is more accurate than me in judging people.
I still underestimated the shamelessness of Chu Ning.
Yun Anlan said leisurely: "Grandfather said that the Chunyang Sect has an eighth-level earth fire, and the Shao family has a stone tablet that is related to the Avenue of Time. Although it is a broken tablet, it is also extraordinary."
"I understand. Then let the Chunyang Sect take the eighth-level earth fire, and let the Shao family take the stone tablet in exchange."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up. The Time-Deepening Art that he practiced was related to the Way of Time. Obtaining the stone tablet might help him perfect the Time-Deepening Art.
As for the eighth-level earth fire, after being swallowed by the earth fire spirit, the power of the earth fire spirit can be greatly enhanced.
"What are you thinking about!"
Yun Anlan rolled his beautiful eyes at Chu Ning and said, "Whether it is the eighth-level earth fire or the stone tablet, they are the treasures of the Chunyang Sect and the Shao family. How can I give them to you?"
"If you can't give it to me, then what's the point of talking?"
"As for the stone tablet, it would be great if I could give you a copy. As for the eighth-level earth fire, forget it. It would be enough if I could give you a wisp of fire spirit."
"Brother, that's enough. One wisp of fire spirit is enough!"
The voice of the Earth Fire Spirit sounded in Chu Ning’s mind.
"What is the Fire Spirit?" Chu Ning asked in his mind.
"Brother, if I want to break through to the eighth level, in addition to having enough energy, I also need to go through several tests, which are a bit similar to the thunder tribulation when the demon race breaks through. The fire spirit of the eighth-level earth fire has the complete experience of its initial breakthrough. After I absorb it, it is equivalent to experiencing the breakthrough from the seventh level to the eighth level, and I will be more confident of breaking through to the eighth level."
After listening to the explanation of the Earth Fire Spirit, Chu Ning understood that, just like them, as cultivators, every breakthrough had a certain failure rate, but if he had the opportunity to experience a successful breakthrough, it would definitely help his own path to breakthrough.
"Okay, just these two conditions."
Chu Ning agreed, but Yun Anlan explained: "Neither of these two families will agree to these two conditions so easily. I will first inform them that you are not going to hand over these two virtual weapons. It may take several years to finally meet the conditions."
"Thank you for your help, Brother Yun."
Chu Ning clasped his fists towards Yun Anlan. He understood what Yun Anlan meant. That was for him to first show a firm attitude of rejection, and then Yun Anlan would come to Danshan Sect several times in a row, pretending to persuade him, and finally put forward the conditions. In this way, the possibility of the two families agreeing would be higher.
"Well, besides telling you that I refuse to return them, I will also tell you that I plan to bury these two virtual artifacts in a filthy place in the mortal world."
Yun Anlan: ...
