Chapter 75 Royal Noble (asking for monthly ticket)

Chilian County.

Chu Ning came down from Wanshe Mountain and went to Chilian County.

Since I'm here, I might as well take revenge.

"Brother Snake, since you and I are in the same boat now, shouldn't we give each other a token of our allegiance?"

blacksnake:"?"

There is a guy in this city who specializes in smuggling your snakes, using them to make soup, soak in wine, fry, and stir-fry...

Black Snake: “Fuck!”

…

An hour later, in a secret room in the east of the city, several detectives carried out a corpse with serious expressions.

The corpse was wearing a jade ring on his hand, and there were two obvious tooth marks on his arm, and his entire arm was black and blue.

"The captain was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."

"Could it be that some poisonous snake has turned into a spirit and is seeking revenge on the head of the police?"

After the body was carried out, the detectives began to discuss among themselves, saying that it was almost impossible for a martial arts master to be killed by a poisonous snake.

It doesn't mean that a strong martial artist can resist snake venom, but that he won't give the poisonous snake any chance to bite him.

But the captain was indeed killed by a poisonous snake. The snake tooth marks on his arm and the blue color of his arm were signs of snake venom.

There's something weird about this.

"Why think so much? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The director and others will naturally investigate this matter. We just need to do what we are supposed to do."

…

…

Chu Ning was riding his horse slowly on the official road in the capital. It was he who watched the captain of the Chilian County kill the black snake.

He took my money, but then betrayed me.

He must kill this man.

The reason why he didn't take action against the Blood Wolf Gang was that he didn't want people to associate it with him.

He will have to continue using Ji Yang's identity for the time being.

Along the way, Chu Ning tried his best to get Black Snake to tell him something, trying to find out about him, but this beast was very smart and had no idea what he was up to.

Chu Ning: "What realm was Brother Snake originally in?"

Black Snake: "It's just a small wild snake."

Chu Ning: "How are the realms of cultivation divided?"

Black Snake: "How can a little demon like me know this?"

Chu Ning: "Brother Snake has been practicing for so many years, don't you know anything? The old Taoist in Sanqing Mountain should know what realm he is in."

Black Snake: "A summer insect cannot talk about ice. How can a little demon like me know what realm the immortal Taoist master is in?"

Very good, the main point is that you know nothing about anything.

Chu Ning sneered: "Since you don't need to absorb spiritual energy and can rely on the longevity fruit to provide it, why are you still attracted to the snake fruit?"

blacksnake:""

Entered the city.

Chu Ning returned to the military hall, and the black snake slipped out from his sleeve.

The only thing Chu Ning gained along the way was that he confirmed one thing: the black snake's venom had no harm to him.

It’s not because he is a master who is immune to all poisons. In Black Snake’s words, it’s because the two of them have a symbiotic relationship because of the immortal fruit.

To put it bluntly, the venom of the black snake is not naturally present like that of ordinary venomous snakes, but is purified and mutated after cultivation. However, the energy of the longevity fruit absorbed during cultivation, and the true qi in the body is also the energy of the longevity fruit.

The snake venom entered his body and was automatically absorbed by his spiritual energy.

Chu Ning naturally didn't believe it at first, and suspected that the beast was deceiving him and wanted to poison him to death, until the black snake asked him to do an experiment.

The black snake did not resist and let Chu Ning's true qi flow into its body. Chu Ning wanted to draw the true qi according to the Qi Control Technique, but the true qi that entered the black snake's body was like a stone sinking into the sea and there was no reaction at all.

In the words of Black Snake, neither of us can kill the other now. The most we can do is hurt each other. If we can endure the pain and be defenseless, we can absorb more of the opponent's energy.

A night in silence.

The next day, he entered the palace.

Chu Ning got up early, and the black snake crawled into Chu Ning's sleeve.

Taking Black Snake to the palace was something Chu Ning and Black Snake had agreed to last night.

If Emperor Taizu of the Liang Dynasty was really an immortal cultivator, or even the culprit who blocked this world, then there would definitely be some arrangements in the palace that the black snake could sense.

The east gate of the palace.

When Chu Ning arrived here, there were already quite a few captains standing here.

Today is the day for rewarding people for their merits, it is a happy event, and all the captains are beaming with joy.

Chu Ning stood at the back of the team and didn't go forward to get bored. The black snake in his arms didn't move, which meant that nothing had been discovered so far.

Chen time.

The palace gate opened on time, and Chu Ning and others entered one after another. Led by the imperial guards, they entered the palace and headed towards the main hall.

Entering the palace and walking up hundreds of steps, a magnificent hall appears before your eyes.

Chu Ning followed the captains at the back and stepped into the hall. He did not dare to look up or around, but his last breakthrough to the Grandmaster level had made his perception more acute. Although he did not see what was around him, he could still tell what was around him.

In Black Snake's words last night, this is called spiritual consciousness.

All immortal cultivators will have these, and their strength is determined by the range of perception.

When one first embarks on the journey of cultivating immortals, the range of perception is probably only three to five meters. Chu Ning is now able to sense more than ten meters because of the immortality fruit.

The longevity fruit increases lifespan, and lifespan is closely related to the soul. The stronger the soul, the longer the lifespan, and vice versa. Spiritual consciousness is a small magical power evolved from the soul.

In Chu Ning's spiritual perception, the hall was magnificent, with stone pillars and walls decorated with sparkling gems, making the entire hall full of a noble and elegant atmosphere.

At the same time, the entire hall is like a furnace, which is condensed from the energy and blood emitted by all the officials.

However, the figure sitting on the steps, although without any blood and energy flowing out, prevented the blood and energy in the entire hall from moving forward at all.

Chu Ning knew that this Emperor Liang was also a powerful master.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, because Emperor Liang was quite far away, more than ten meters away, Chu Ning did not dare to look up and look directly at Emperor Liang in front of everyone.

The rewarding process was very boring. The imperial edict was read out by officials around the emperor. The only thing that satisfied Chu Ning was that the close minister around the Liang Dynasty emperor was not a eunuch, but a strong man at the level of a military general.

The content of the edict was also very simple. There were not many people who were promoted, because promotion in the Liang Dynasty required strength. Only when one was strong enough could one move up. If one was not strong enough, one could only receive rewards.

Like other captains, Chu Ning received an additional thousand points of military merit reward.

What happened next had nothing to do with Chu Ning, and soon these captains were asked to leave the main hall.

Several other captains chatted with each other as they walked towards the south of the palace, preparing to go to the library or the armory. Chu Ning thought that he still had so many military merit points, it would be a waste if he didn't spend them, so he was about to go south as well, but was stopped by a guard.

"Captain Ji, please follow me to the Imperial Garden. There is a distinguished person who wants to see you."

"My dear, which dear is it?"

The guards were silent. Chu Ning inexplicably thought of what Tu Feifei had said to him. The Blood Burning Technique was an experimental technique released by the royal family. The faster he showed progress, the more attention he would attract from the royal family.

Following the imperial guards through the palace, we finally arrived at the Imperial Garden after a cup of tea.

"Captain Ji, please come in. The nobleman is inside."

The guards did not enter the imperial garden. Chu Ning nodded and stepped into the imperial garden.

As you step into the yard, you will see a crescent bridge made of bluestone. The bridge is ten meters wide and overlooks a pool of turquoise water with blooming lotus flowers. On both sides of the lotus pond, there are hundreds of flowers and various green plants planted.

Chu Ning stepped onto the stone bridge and his eyes fell on the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake. A white-haired old man was sitting there, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Is this the noble man?

Judging from his age, he could be an elder of Emperor Liang.

Chu Ning walked forward quickly, stopped at the edge of the island, and said respectfully: "I, Ji Yang, greet you, sir."

"Your Excellency?"

The old man suddenly stroked his beard and laughed: "Compared to the title of noble, I hope you can change the title and call me teacher."

Chu Ning was stunned. What did he mean? He wanted to be his cheap master? "I dare not."

"The Blood Burning Technique you practiced was created by me. Do you dare to call me Master?"

Listening to the old man's words, Chu Ning's expression became excited, but he still looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to shout but didn't dare to.

"As a warrior, how can you be fussy? Just shout when I tell you to."

"Disciple Ji Yang greets the teacher."

Since the other party had said so much, Chu Ning naturally would not pretend any longer and immediately called out respectfully.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would receive a disciple before I get old. Teacher, I will give you a meeting gift first."

The old man swung his hand and a token flew over, and Chu Ning quickly caught it.

"With this token, you can go to the first five floors of the library, and you can choose anything on the first five floors of the armory."

Chu Ning was so happy that his hand holding the token was shaking a little.

"I dare not refuse the gift given by the elders."

"That's right. Come here, teacher, let me see what level you have reached in the Burning Blood Technique."

The old man waved his hand, and Chu Ning's heart trembled. Was he trying to find out my background?

Fortunately, he had acquired the Qi Control Technique, which allowed him to condense the true Qi in his body into dark energy, otherwise he would have been exposed.

"Well, your Qi and blood are still strong. It seems that you have only burned a dozen years of your lifespan. You can break through to the rank of military general in just a dozen years of your lifespan. That's pretty good."

The old man withdrew his skinny hand from Chu Ning's arm, and seeing Chu Ning's puzzled look, he explained, "When the teacher was young, he had a strong enemy. This person was more talented than the teacher. In order to catch up with this person, the teacher created this Blood Burning Technique, and then sent it to the military camp. The original intention was to see if there could be someone as suitable as the teacher to practice the Blood Burning Technique. However, in the past few decades, there has not been a good seedling. Most of them died after breaking through to the martial arts master level."

"As for the teacher's identity, you should be able to guess roughly. The teacher is from the royal family and is of the same generation as Emperor Liang."

Chu Ning understood that this was a prince.

He only knew of five princes in the Liang Dynasty, and the only one who fits the image before him seemed to be the mysterious Fourth Prince.

"The Blood Burning Skill you are practicing is not the complete version. The reason why the teacher did not release the complete version is, firstly, that skills are not to be passed on lightly, and secondly, because the later practice of the Blood Burning Skill requires the assistance of external objects."

Liang Jiulin had an object in his hand at some point. When Chu Ning saw it, a look of confusion appeared on his face and he was genuinely shocked.

Isn't this just a spiritual stone? (End of this chapter)
