Chapter 82: Lao Hei, let's go dig out the truth

The war has been going on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand pieces of gold.

The news of the invasion of Routu State eventually spread throughout Raozhou and the entire world.

War will inevitably bring panic to ordinary people.

Raozhou is not involved in the war now, but can it really remain immune in the future?

The price of rice has doubled by half.

"Xiao Ning, Xiao Wang's family next door has stockpiled several bags of rice. The price is so high, should I remind my aunt?"

"Forget it. Only when we have food in hand can we be at ease."

As early as half a month ago, when the old aunt learned about the war, she also wanted to store grain, but Chu Ning stopped her.

There will be no shortage of food at home.

However, in order to reassure the old man, Chu Ning told him that the war would not reach Raozhou.

But Chu Ning didn't dare to guarantee 100% that Raozhou would not be affected.

Looking back at some war histories in previous lives, we will find some interesting things. Many times, a war starts out as just a point, and then slowly becomes a large area, or even the entire world.

If war is compared to a wave, no one can guarantee that the wave will not hit them.

Does the Chen family dare to guarantee it?

I’m afraid not.

Unless one has the ability to control the waves, and based on the current situation, only a grandmaster can do that.

Unfortunately, it would take about ten years for me to break through to the Grand Master level.

This time is actually very short.

After Chen Jingwu knew that he had become a master, he went back to the Chen family to use his connections to look through some of the immortal cultivation notes left by his ancestors.

It usually takes about seventy years for a normal cultivator to go from a military general to a grand master, that is, from condensing Qi to building a foundation. Those with better aptitude may need fifty years.

It gets harder as you go along.

A talented person may be able to reach the late stage of Qi Condensation in about ten years, but it will take several times longer to go from the late stage of Qi Condensation to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Laying the foundation is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky.

However, the good news for Chu Ning is that he does not need any foundation-building pills to build his foundation. With the energy of the longevity fruit, he can successfully build his foundation.

These are Lao Hei’s original words.

If the longevity fruit can't even do this, then it's nothing like the longevity fruit.

Just stay alive.

A dozen years is not particularly long.

The seven years of Chu Ning's reign were spent amidst the war in the north and the fear of the people in the south.

In the first month of this year, temples and Taoist temples were even more popular.

In the fourth month of Chu Ning's seventh year, Chen Jingwu brought him a piece of news.

This battle is about to enter the final decisive stage.

Two of the eight major surnames joined the alliance camp, and even the elders of the Chen family had this idea.

The royal family is showing signs of defeat, and now only Jingzhou is left.

The next decisive battle will not be a battle between large armies, but a contest between powerful masters.

The alliance's masters also went to Jingzhou.

"Old Black, do you think we should take this opportunity to dig out some bottom?" Chu Ning asked, looking at the black snake lying in the yard and absorbing spiritual energy.

"Whose are you taking?" Lao Hei asked while writing.

"The Wushuang Gate."

Since all the masters of Wushuang Sect have gone to the capital, this is the most appropriate time to go to Wushuang Sect and find out their secrets.

"Why not practice for a dozen years and break through to become a Grandmaster? You must be worried about something."

Lao Hei saw through Chu Ning at a glance, and Chu Ning did not hide it. Although this beast had a life-and-death feud with him, the two were currently in the same boat.

"I am afraid of Huang Zhongtai."

The family members know their own business, and the reason why they can become the Grandmaster is entirely due to the powerful effect of the Longevity Fruit plug-in.

But Huang Zhongtai seems to be growing quite fast, and the most important thing is that his momentum has already been established.

The entire alliance seems to be centered around the Wushuang Sect, but the real key figure is Huang Zhongtai.

Chu Ning had a hunch that he would come into conflict with Huang Zhongtai sooner or later, and it was even possible that he would kill Huang Zhongtai the first time.

Unfortunately, he can't do that now.

According to the information obtained by Chen Jingwu, the alliance attaches great importance to Huang Zhongtai's safety and has very few masters around him.

If the royal family really falls, Huang Zhongtai will definitely come to power. Wushuangmen may not suspect that they were the ones who killed Ji Bochang, but Huang Zhongtai can definitely guess some clues.

Based on his understanding of Huang Zhongtai, if this person knew that he had also broken through to the Grandmaster level, he would definitely attack him.

After all, he has betrayed himself twice, and Huang Zhongtai will not let himself grow any further.

Huang Zhongtai would rather let the world down than be let down by the world.

“You can do it!”

Black Snake pondered for a moment and nodded. With their current strength, the third-grade master was no match for them.

"But I think it's better to take out the Jiuxuan Pavilion first."

Chu Ning's mouth twitched. This beast also holds a grudge.

However, in terms of distance, Jiuxuan Pavilion is closer to Raozhou.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll take the money from Jiuxuan Pavilion first, and then from Wushuang Sect."

It's the same whether you pay for one family or two families. It's just a matter of course.

…

…

Chuzhou, Dawang Mountain.

The place where the gate of Jiuxuan Pavilion is located.

Because of this great war, the gate of Jiuxuan Pavilion was heavily guarded. Apparently they were also afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation to rob, so two fourth-rank generals were personally guarding the gate.

But for Chu Ning, two fourth-rank generals were not enough. He easily sneaked into the gate of Jiuxuan Pavilion without being discovered.

"It's normal for the Jiuxuan Pavilion's mountain gate to have a formation. After all, it's a major foundation-building sect."

After entering the mountain gate and understanding the words written on the black snake's arm, Chu Ning whispered.

Unfortunately, hundreds of years later, with the lack of strong foundation-building masters, the mountain protection formation of the Jiuxuan Pavilion is no longer very effective.

An ordinary master might be exposed by the formation, but under the guidance of the black snake, Chu Ning entered easily.

Avoiding the patrolling disciples of Jiuxuan Pavilion, Chu Ning quickly found the treasure house of Jiuxuan Pavilion.

The treasure house of such a large sect would not be built underground, nor would it be locked with an iron door.

Out of confidence, the Jiuxuan Pavilion's treasure house was located in a conspicuous place, with only a group of martial arts disciples patrolling the periphery and several generals guarding inside.

Bang, bang, bang! Chu Ning's figure was like a ghost, and his true energy shot out continuously.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Several old generals fell to the ground silently.

"Since you've already started, just kill him!"

"Kill me, I'm not a butcher."

Feeling the murderous aura of the black snake in his sleeve, Chu Ning was speechless. This guy was indeed very resentful towards Jiuxuan Pavilion. He urged him to charge directly into the treasure house and cause a river of blood to flow in the Jiuxuan Pavilion.

After entering the treasure house, Chu Ning began to search.

The treasure house of Jiuxuan Pavilion is not much different from that of the royal family. It is a pity that those medicinal herbs and pills are of no use to Chu Ning now.

He had no intention of expanding his power, so he just took a few dozen bottles and threw them into the package, which would be enough to share with the teachers when the time came.

Then he picked up some medicinal herbs that were more than a hundred years old and a few master-level martial arts manuals.

The harvest was average.

Chu Ning sighed: "Is this all there is in the entire Jiuxuan Pavilion?"

"There is a hidden compartment. Use your spiritual sense to sense it."

After getting Lao Hei's reminder, Chu Ning released his spiritual sense and walked around the treasure house. After a while, his eyes lit up and he punched the wall of the treasure house.

The wall broke, and Chu Ning reached in and took out a box.

No matter how sophisticated a mechanism is, it will be vulnerable to absolute violence.

Open the box and there is a small throwing knife inside.

The blade was pure black, with some words on it that Chu Ning didn't recognize.

"This is a rune. You are so lucky. This should be a magical weapon. Put your true energy into it and see."

Chu Ning picked up the flying knife and poured his internal energy into it. The flying knife made a buzzing sound, as if trying to break free from Chu Ning's hand.

"Why are you still holding it? Let it go and control it with your Chi. You are such an idiot."

Although Lao Hei seemed to be taking the opportunity to scold him, Chu Ning didn't bother with the beast at this moment and loosened his hand holding the flying knife.

The flying knife turned into a stream of light and circled in the treasure house, but the pills on the medicine shelves were in trouble.

Chu Ning's mind moved, and he quickly controlled the true energy he had left on the flying knife. Only then did the flying knife stabilize its shape in the air and float there motionless.

"go!"

The flying knife turned into a stream of light and directly penetrated the thick wall of the treasure house.

"return!"

Swoosh! The flying knife penetrated from another part of the wall and landed in front of Chu Ning.

"This speed is twice as fast as my true qi, and its power is also much greater. Jiuxuan Pavilion has such a treasure, why didn't the Pavilion Master and several elders take it with them?"

"Do you think they don't want to? This world is devoid of spiritual energy. There are too many impurities in the spiritual energy in these people's bodies. They can't control this flying knife at all."

"You haven't unleashed half the power of this flying knife yet. Wait until you use your true energy to nurture it for a long time and let it communicate with your mind. Only then will you be able to unleash its full power. By that time, when you have established your foundation, you can kill one person with one strike."

One knife kills one kid.

I like.

Chu Ning's eyes were shining. If Jiuxuan Pavilion had such a treasure, then Wushuang Sect should have it as well.

Since these sects cannot use it, in order to prevent the pearl from being gathered in dust, I, Chu Ning, will take it away for them.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning left the Jiuxuan Pavilion treasure house.

It would take two hours for the Jiuxuan Pavilion disciples who were knocked unconscious by his true energy to wake up. With his current speed as a grandmaster, he could reach the Wushuang Gate in six hours.

The time difference is enough.

…

…

Four hours later.

In the treasure house of Jiuxuan Pavilion, several powerful generals woke up.

After a few breaths.

A strong man roared: "Which bastard..."

A companion beside him covered his mouth.

"What the hell are you yelling at? The one who can knock us out without making any sound is obviously a master, and he is not just an ordinary master. What if the other party doesn't go far away and your yelling brings him back?"

"Your life is your own, but the things you lost belong to the sect. Think about it carefully."

"Besides, since we are the masters who come to rob, the elders and the Pavilion Master will not punish us severely."

The treasure house suddenly became quiet.

It was not until half an hour had passed that the roar was heard again.

"Asshole, who stole my Jiuxuan Pavilion's treasure house!"

"Send a message to the Pavilion Master and the elders immediately."

"This beast is too abominable. If I were not unconscious, I would have fought it to the death."
