Chapter 88 Am I, Chu Ning, this kind of person? (Seeking monthly votes)
trade.
Then you need bargaining chips.
Liang Dehai believed that Ji Yang would never be able to refuse the bargaining chips he offered.
"Go ahead."
Chu Ning looked at Liang Dehai. Although the old man had no expression on his face, his eyes were full of confidence. Was he sure that I would agree to this deal? "This teleportation array can break through the blockade of the formation set up by my Liang family's ancestors and lead to the outside world, but only my Liang family knows how to activate the formation. Now, I am the only one who knows. I am willing to tell Master Ji how to use this teleportation array."
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false? Besides, even if there is no teleportation array, I can still break through when I enter the Grandmaster realm. You are not attractive."
Although Chu Ning was moved, he still said some sarcastic words.
Negotiation is all about minimizing the value of the bargaining chips offered by the other party.
Even if the other party takes out gold, people will complain that the gold looks like shit.
As for myself, even if what I took out was a pile of shit, I would say that even if it was shit, it was the same color as gold.
"Then Master Ji will have to wait for more than ten years. It is not easy to break through from Grandmaster to Grandmaster even if you have enough spirit stones."
Liang Dehai did not get angry, but simply stated the facts calmly. He was also well versed in negotiation. No matter how derogatory the other party's words were, as long as they did not directly refuse, there was hope.
"As for the method of using this formation, I have a way to prove its authenticity, which can dispel Master Ji's doubts."
Looking at Liang Dehai's expression, Chu Ning knew that it was useless to belittle him. He did not panic or lose his composure, and did not delay any further. He asked directly:
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Kill Huang Zhongtai and leave a bloodline for my Liang family. I dare not ask Master Ji to take care of him more, but just protect him for ten years."
Chu Ning pondered, this deal was indeed not difficult for him. Huang Zhongtai must be killed. If he was not killed, it would affect the safety of the people around him.
As for protecting the descendants of the Liang family for ten years, it is not a big deal.
"Don't worry, Master Ji. There are only five younger generations of my Liang clan who have escaped from the capital and are now in hiding. The strongest of them is only an eighth-rank martial artist."
"The world is about to change. I don't expect these descendants to be able to restore the country. I just hope they can survive the great changes in the future."
When Liang Dehai said this, his expression was very sincere: "Maybe Master Ji doesn't believe it, but I actually think this ending is pretty good. My Liang family has left behind descendants of the bloodline. If it really continues like this, when the energy of the formation is exhausted and it automatically dissipates, I'm afraid that my Liang family will be exterminated."
In a family, not everyone has the same ideals. Liang Dehai had actually long wanted to persuade his clansmen to lift the blockade of the formation.
Release the Tiancan technique, invite the eight great families and the four major sects to jointly cultivate a grandmaster, resolve the resentment and unlock the formation blockade, this is the Liang family's way out.
Unfortunately, he had mediocre qualifications and was just a military commander without much say in the clan. In the end, he was assigned here to guard the teleportation array.
In fact, except for a few high-ranking members of the tribe, the young people in the tribe did not even know about the existence of this Sixth Prince.
His several royal brothers, including several royal elders, were all unwilling to do so. They only wanted to train them internally, and then activate the teleportation array to send the masters out and bring back spirit stones or more advanced methods of cultivating immortals from outside.
And this area of Liang Dynasty will be the back garden of their Liang family.
Because of this ambition, the family was almost wiped out in the end.
"If what you said is true, and this teleportation array is indeed useful to me, I can agree to this deal with you."
Chu Ning finally made a decision. Liang Dehai was not very excited. Apart from the request to kill Huang Zhongtai, it was not difficult for Ji Yang to fool his own people.
"This is all the information about the formation. With the current strength of our Liang family, it is impossible for us to change your content and falsify it."
Liang Dehai was very straightforward. He took out a jade slip from his arms and then dripped three drops of blood on the jade slip.
"This jade slip has restrictions. It can only be opened with the blood of a descendant of the Liang family."
When saying this, Liang Dehai paid close attention to Chu Ning's expression. He wanted to see how much Ji Yang knew about cultivating immortals.
It now seems that Ji Yang knows a lot about cultivating immortals, because there is no shock or doubt on his face, and he obviously knows about the restriction of the jade slip.
"Just leave it there, no need to give it to me."
Chu Ning stopped Liang Dehai from handing over the jade slip. Liang Dehai was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said, "Master Ji is really cautious."
Watching Liang Dehai place the jade slip by the pool, Chu Ning first put a small part of his spiritual consciousness into it, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he put his entire spiritual consciousness into it.
Liang Dehai, who was standing by, saw this scene and there was a hint of shock in his old eyes.
No matter how poor his qualifications are, he is still a military general, and he is responsible for guarding the teleportation array. He also knows a lot about the secrets of cultivating immortals.
There is only one possibility for being able to read the contents of a jade slip from a distance, and that is that the other party has developed spiritual consciousness.
But according to the notes left by our ancestors, isn't it true that only grand masters, or those who have established a foundation, can give birth to spiritual consciousness?
How did Ji Yangcai, who is at the Grandmaster level, gain spiritual awareness?
If it were another occasion, he would still suspect whether Ji Yang was being mysterious, but in this place and at this moment, there was no need for Ji Yang to do this.
He reached the Grandmaster level earlier than Huang Zhongtai, and he also has divine consciousness...
There was a strange look in Liang Dehai's eyes. Ji Yang could definitely kill Huang Zhongtai, and he wouldn't even have to wait for long.
After a cup of tea, Chu Ning withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
Liang Dehai did not lie to him. This teleportation array could indeed teleport out of the territory of the Liang Dynasty, and this teleportation array was left behind by Emperor Taizu of Liang.
If it was just a teleportation array, Chu Ning would not be interested, but this is a two-way teleportation array, which means that it can teleport to the outside. If such a teleportation array is built outside, it can also teleport back from the outside.
Of course, this requires the cooperation of a teleportation array outside. If the teleportation array in another place is gone, it will be useless.
However, the advantage of this teleportation array is that it does not have high requirements for the teleportation array at the destination. As long as there is such a teleportation array, it does not require anyone to maintain it.
"According to what our great ancestor left behind, this teleportation array leads to an extremely safe place. Even after thousands of years, there will be no problems."
Seeing Chu Ning's eyes flickering in thought, Liang Dehai spoke up to explain.
"Three hundred years ago, several ancestors were teleported out through the teleportation array."
Chu Ning looked at Liang Dehai and just believed half of what he said.
Safety may be safety.
What if it was to be teleported to the place where Liang Taizu was in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul? It would be safe for the Liang family, but not necessarily for me.
"Then why didn't your Liang family's ancestors teleport back?"
Those who can go out are all grandmasters, the earliest group of people after the Liang family was founded. There should be a few foundation-building masters among them, otherwise Liang Taizu would not have left with peace of mind.
If you can't break the seal of the formation, you can always come back through the teleportation formation.
Liang Dehai looked a little embarrassed and explained, "To be honest, one of our ancestors did come back, but he was too poor and didn't have enough spirit stones to activate the teleportation array. The three generations who were able to teleport back had scraped together the money."
After listening to Liang Dehai's explanation, Chu Ning opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't know what to say.
So dramatic.
Back then, Emperor Taizu of Liang had carefully arranged everything for future generations and left behind a lot of spirit stones.
But his descendants did not regard the spirit stones seriously and lived extravagantly, even using the spirit stones as pillows when they slept.
Especially those who left through the teleportation array, all of them carried a lot of spirit stones with them. It was like a child walking on the road with a bag of money, and they were being noticed by the immortal cultivators outside.
This is caused by information asymmetry. Emperor Taizu Liang was very caring towards his descendants. With the presence of this Jindan ancestor, the descendants of the Liang family are a bit like the rich second generation and are not very sensitive to money.
After migrating here to the Liang Dynasty, they were sealed off for hundreds of years and had no idea of the prices in the outside world. All they had to pay for things were mid-grade spirit stones.
Then he was targeted, and after being robbed several times, he could no longer collect enough spirit stones for the teleportation formation.
The corners of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. Some people live to be a hundred years old and they are wise men. Some people live to be a hundred years old and their minds are still pure. The environment they live in is very important.
If you think about it, you can understand it. With a big boss protecting him, he doesn't have to worry about anything. He can break through to the foundation-building stage. He is also obsessed with cultivation and doesn't interact much with outsiders. He is similar to those simple academic masters.
In fact, this is also the reason why many powerful people in the Liang family later chose not to lift the blockade. Even if they could not cultivate immortality in the Liang Dynasty, it would be good to break through to the master level and enjoy a hundred years of happiness.
When you are outside, you have to bow your head and be a subordinate. It is not as comfortable as being a local emperor here.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Isn't the purpose of cultivating immortals to become a superior person? Now that you are already a superior person, why do you still pursue cultivating immortals? "What about the area where the teleportation array is located?"
Chu Ning was a little curious. What was the world outside like?
"According to what our ancestor said, the two major sects were fighting outside at the time, but after so many years, it's time for it to end."
Liang Dehai looked at Chu Ning: "Master Ji can definitely kill Huang Zhongtai, and then not remove the seal, but he can leave with this teleportation array and return at any time."
"I think of the entire Liang Dynasty as my back garden, right?"
Chu Ning stared at Liang Dehai. He had to say that Liang Dehai's words were very tempting. This way, he was actually traveling back and forth between two worlds.
You can be the king here and also go to the outside world to practice and improve your strength.
Unfortunately, it is not very tempting for me at the moment.
"Where are your descendants of the Liang family?" Chu Ning suddenly asked.
"In Yongzhou High-tech Mansion..." Liang Dehai gave the location, and then said: "When the time comes, I will give Master Ji a token, and they will understand that this deal is not a loss for Master Ji."
Chu Ning frowned and said, "When did I say I wanted to make this deal? I am not satisfied with the effect of your formation."
Liang Dehai was stunned. "Not satisfied?"
Are you still not satisfied and you ask me where the descendants of my clan are?
"Well, now you have figured it out, come up with something that satisfies me, or your Liang family will be extinct in a few days."
Although Liang Dehai only gave the location of a city, it was not difficult to find the descendants of the Liang family.
"You... Master Ji, you are a great master, but you are so untrustworthy. Aren't you afraid of the inner demons on the road of cultivation?"
Liang Dehai could never have imagined that Chu Ning would say such a thing?
Where is the Grandmaster’s face?
"I've said from the beginning that this teleportation array is only useful to me. But according to what you said, if I teleport out, I may not be able to gather enough spirit stones to teleport back. Then what's the point of me going out?"
"It is better to stay here and wait for the seal of the formation to be released than to be teleported to a dangerous and unknown place."
Chu Ning sneered and tried to get rid of himself with an illusory teleportation array.
Maybe Huang Zhongtai would agree if it was him.
Unfortunately, he had the immortal fruit, and although he was curious about the outside world, he was not in a hurry to go out.
"I'll give you one last chance. Come up with a deal that satisfies me, or you can take a gamble and bet that I'm not a shameless person and won't attack the descendants of your Liang family."
Liang Dehai smiled bitterly. Ji Yang's words had nothing to do with him being shameless or not. He didn't need to do it himself. As long as he leaked the news out, forces like the Huang family and Wushuangmen would naturally take action.
He can't afford the gamble.
"It seems that I guessed right. The Liang family still has good things."
Since Liang Dehai was only smiling bitterly and was not furious, Chu Ning knew that his bluff was correct. If the Liang family really had no other good things to trade, Liang Dehai should be furious at this time.
A Jindan ancestor, and a Jindan ancestor who has the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, there is no way he would not leave good things for his family.
He even originally believed that the final result of the battle between Liang and the allies was that Liang used the trump card left by the ancestors to make a comeback and win.
The ending left him somewhat disappointed.
"Master Ji, my Liang family's ancestor left behind a spiritual weapon. I wonder if Master Ji is not satisfied with this."
Spiritual weapon.
Only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can use it, which is why the Liang family failed to turn the tables in the end.
Because the ancestor of the Liang family would never have thought that his descendants would not even have a strong foundation-building person.
"I agree to this deal."
Chu Ning agreed very readily. He could have taken it out earlier. He ended up being the villain again.
How could I, Chu Ning, a man of great potential, be so shameless?
You don’t understand yourself.
Liang Dehai looked at Chu Ning's expression and knew what he meant. He wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
"Master Ji, please follow me."
Liang Dehai walked towards the place where he had appeared before, came to the wall, and placed his hand on it.
The walls lit up, and finally a stone chamber appeared.
No wonder I couldn’t find it, it must be hidden by the formation.
Chu Ning did not go in, but just stood outside. The entire stone chamber was not large, just a normal small room, and the objects inside were clearly visible.
But just in case, he stood outside and waited.
Liang Dehai was a little puzzled when he saw that Chu Ning had no intention of going in.
How could this person be so suspicious and wary at such a young age?
It's really rare.
