Chapter 99 Qin Shan repays his gratitude (must read)

The letter was written by Tang Ruowei.

The handwriting is beautiful.

After reading the letter, Chu Ning was silent for a long time.

Liu Junshan did not disturb his disciples. He did not know what Tang Ruowei wrote in the letter. As a teacher, he naturally would not peek at this letter to his disciples.

There are some things that I, as a disciple, have to figure out for myself.

After a cup of tea, Chu Ning put the letter away, looked at the teacher with a smile, and said, "Teacher, Ruo Wei told me where she went, and asked me to find her if I see this letter."

"Well, what's your decision?"

"Wait until the foundation is established."

This was the decision Chu Ning made after thinking for a moment, because according to what Tang Ruowei said, their Yinyue Sect would migrate as a whole and contact the upper sect.

Originally, she had no plan to follow her master, but to stay in Liang Dynasty and wait for him to appear. However, she did not expect that someone from the sect would take a fancy to her talent, and a powerful foundation-building master would personally take her away.

However, that powerful foundation-building master also promised that if I go there myself, he can let me join the sect.

Tang Ruowei explained all of this in the letter.

He did not need the Foundation Establishment Pill to establish his foundation. If he went to find Tang Ruowei, he would definitely be noticed by the powerful people from the sect behind Tang Ruowei.

"With Ruo Wei's talent and the sect's training, he will definitely be able to build a foundation within 20 years. My current strength is still a little lacking."

"Building a foundation is also possible. The teacher can't give you much advice on this."

Liu Junshan knew that this disciple was very opinionated. Since he would go to find Tang Ruowei only after he had established his foundation, there must be a reason.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Teacher, I am going to leave Liang Dynasty and go to the outside world to look for an opportunity to build my foundation."

It was not easy for Wen Jincheng to stabilize himself. The most important thing was that the spiritual energy in Wen Jincheng's inner city was indeed very rich. Even if he had the energy of the immortal fruit, if he could absorb a little more spiritual energy, it would speed up the progress of breaking through to the foundation building stage.

"To the outside world?"

Liu Junshan frowned. If it was any other disciple at such a young age, he would definitely stop him. But thinking of his own disciple's style of doing things...

With his cultivation in the late stage of Qi Condensation and his steady temperament, nothing will go wrong.

…

After staying in the Liang Dynasty for three days, Chu Ning returned to the capital.

During these three days, he accompanied Lao Liao to watch operas and pay homage to his great aunt. He also accompanied Jin Le, Zhang Song and He Jin to wash their feet in a brothel.

As for Zhao Qin, Chu Ning didn't see him, so he could only ask the teacher to mobilize the power of the Chen family to see if he could find this guy.

Ever since the allied forces captured the capital, Zhao Qin has disappeared without a trace.

After returning to Wenjin City through the palace's teleportation array, Chu Ning's following days were uneventful.

Through daily alchemy and cultivation, the spiritual energy in the body is steadily increasing.

As for the sect and address mentioned in Tang Ruowei's letter, he made some special inquiries and found out that it was not particularly far away. It would take about half a year to arrive there after reaching the late Qi Condensation stage.

Chu Ningren did not go. Instead, he wrote a letter to Tang Ruowei and found a shop in the market that specialized in delivering letters. He spent thirty spirit stones and asked the shop to deliver the letter.

In the world of immortal cultivation, general communication is done by utilizing some flying spirit beasts. However, it takes a lot of time to tame these spirit beasts, which is one of the reasons why the fees are so high.

Half a year passed like this.

I thought this kind of life would continue until I built my foundation, but I didn't expect the peace to be interrupted so soon.

Chu Ning looked at the many cultivators gathered in the shop, and then looked at Qin Shan who was in high spirits in the crowd, with a smile on his face.

Qin Shan successfully built his foundation.

Qin Shan has been doing business in the market town for decades, and the surrounding shop owners and cultivators are all old acquaintances. Now that he has broken through to the foundation building stage and appeared, he is surrounded by congratulations and praises.

For some reason, Chu Ning suddenly thought of the story of "Fan Jin passing the imperial examination".

Some are similar, some are different.

"Congratulations to Senior Qin on your successful foundation building. I am willing to give the store title deed to Senior Qin as a token of congratulations."

Without waiting for Qin Shan to speak, Chu Ning expressed his attitude first.

Even though this shop was transferred to him by Qin Shan, the situation is completely different now that Qin Shan has broken through to the foundation-building stage.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, please don't say that. I didn't come here for this shop."

Qin Shan laughed, but his expression was serious. He bowed to Chu Ning, who quickly dodged.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, please don’t hide. This old man is here to express his gratitude. If it weren’t for the three years of life that Fellow Daoist Chu granted me, it would have been difficult for me to break through the foundation-building stage. This favor is more important than Mount Tai.”

After hearing what Qin Shan said, Chu Ning stopped hiding because he understood what Qin Shan meant.

When the people around heard Qin Shan's words, they all gave him a thumbs up.

"As expected of you, Senior Qin. You really will repay a favor."

"It was clearly just a transaction, but Senior Qin considered it a favor. With such a broad mind, how could he fail in building his foundation?"

Qin Shan looked at Chu Ning and said, "It's a pity that I don't have anything valuable on me right now."

Chu Ning waved his hands quickly: "Senior Qin, your words are too serious. I cannot take the responsibility."

"How about this, when Fellow Daoist Chu wants to build a foundation in the future, I will prepare the three main medicinal materials needed for the foundation-building pill for Fellow Daoist Chu."

Hiss! Qin Shan's promise shocked all the monks watching at the scene.

This is a huge deal, and can be said to be the most valuable reward for Qi Condensation cultivators.

Chu Ning was flattered and extremely excited: "How can this...how can this be..."

Qin Shan then talked to Chu Ning for a while, and finally left after smiling and asking the surrounding shops to take good care of Chu Ning.

When Qin Shan left, the surrounding shop owners surrounded Chu Ning and lamented that Chu Ning was lucky to have met a senior like Qin Shan who was so loyal and righteous.

There was an unconcealable joy on Chu Ning's face. He chatted with these monks for almost half an hour before finally returning to the shop and closing the door.

To outsiders, Chu Ning closed the shop because he was too happy to run the business, but after closing the door, there was no sign of joy on Chu Ning's face.

[It seems that you have realized that Qin Shan is not really repaying his gratitude by doing this.]

The black snake crawled out from Chu Ning's sleeve and looked at Chu Ning with gloating eyes while writing.

"He is using me to build momentum and create a persona for himself that says 'I will repay a favor'." Chu Ning said calmly.

This is his judgment on what Qin Shan did today.

After staying in Wenjin City for more than a year, he also got to know some of the rules of Wenjin City.

The behemoth in this city is the current clan.

The Wenjin Sect recruits outer disciples every three years. Anyone below the foundation building stage can participate, but this is targeted at talented young disciples.

In addition, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can also choose to join the Wenjin Sect and become outer sect elders.

Outer sect elders can enjoy the resources of the Wenjin Sect, but they also have to undertake corresponding tasks, which is a bit like a contract worker.

Qin Shan's birthday is approaching and he will break through to the foundation-building stage. He does not have high potential. Under such circumstances, he will definitely not be assigned to a very good position if he joins the Wenjin Sect.

Now he was establishing an image of repaying his gratitude, simply because he wanted to spread the news to Wenjin Sect. If he could gain the appreciation of the inner sect elders of Wenjin Sect, he could also be assigned to a good position.

From the perspective of a superior, what he likes most are naturally subordinates who are loyal and grateful for every little help they receive.

"The downside to Qin Shan's promotion is that I will be marked by Qin Shan. If Qin Shan provokes a powerful enemy, I will probably be affected as well."

Chu Ning began to think about the impact of this matter on himself.

"The good thing is that I have Qin Shan, a strong foundation-building master, protecting me. I will have fewer troubles. At least ordinary Qi Condensation late-stage cultivators won't dare to provoke me."

As for what Qin Shan said about finding the three main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chu Ning immediately spotted the loophole in his words.

The Foundation Establishment Pill requires a total of ten main medicinal herbs. Qin Shan could have asked himself to collect the other seven first. However, it would take a casual cultivator at least more than ten years to collect the seven main medicinal herbs.

It’s not that we don’t have these main medicines, but that we don’t have enough spirit stones to buy them.

"I hope Qin Shan doesn't get into trouble so soon, otherwise I'll have to run away."

…

Three days later, Qin Shan held a foundation-building banquet, and Chu Ning also received an invitation.

The location is Miaoyin Pavilion in Fangshi.

Miaoyin Pavilion is a brothel in the cultivator circle. The prices are not cheap, and the minimum consumption for one visit is ten spirit stones.

And this is just for listening to the music. If you want to order other programs, there will be different prices.

You have to prepare gifts for a banquet, but he doesn't seem to have anything presentable.

"Old Black, how about I stew you and make a bowl of snake soup as a gift."

The black snake tongue hesitated: [He wants to use you to build momentum, and he will be very satisfied with any gift you give him. Why, you still want to give him that flying sword? ]

Knowing that what Black Snake said was true, Chu Ning simply went to the market and bought a few bottles of Hundred Flowers Wine. This stuff is somewhat helpful for the middle stage of Qi Condensation, but has no effect on the Foundation Establishment stage.

But giving wine as a gift is an old tradition.

Carrying a few bottles of Hundred Flowers Wine, Chu Ning went to Miaoyin Pavilion. A female cultivator led him in. As soon as he entered, Chu Ning saw many female cultivators in gauze walking back and forth.

Different from ordinary women, these female cultivators have delicate looks and most importantly, they have the temperament of a cultivator.

The monks are not afraid of the severe cold or scorching heat. These female monks are dressed coolly, have cheerful faces, and their beautiful figures are faintly visible through the gauze.

After passing through several corridors, Chu Ning was brought into an elegantly decorated courtyard. There were already several monks in the courtyard.

At a glance, they were all cultivators in the late Qi Condensation stage.

Seeing Chu Ning, these monks all came over to greet him. It was obvious that they all knew what happened three days ago.

Chu Ning also remembered the names of these monks. They all opened shops in the market town, and two of them were familiar faces.

After they chatted for a while, they heard some hearty laughter.

Chu Ning and the others all stood up and looked at the gate of the courtyard, where three figures were walking towards them.

In addition to Qin Shan, there are two other figures, but they are both foundation-building masters.

The appearance of the three Foundation Establishment masters brought enormous pressure to Chu Ning and other late Qi Condensation cultivators.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Fellow Daoist Lin, and this is Fellow Daoist Huang, both of them are outer sect elders of Wenjin Sect."

Listening to Qin Shan's introduction, Chu Ning and others hurriedly saluted.

At the following banquet, the three foundation-building masters were the ones chatting more, while Chu Ning and others were listening attentively.

Chu Ning looked at Qin Shan's high-spirited appearance, and felt sad about the gap between foundation building and Qi condensation, but his face did not show any emotion change.

By listening, Chu Ning also knew that the other two foundation-building masters had also built their foundations the year before last, and were not much different from Qin Shan. This was also the reason why Qin Shan was able to invite these two people to come.

After eating and drinking for a while, Chu Ning thought he could leave, but he never expected that Qin Shan would stop him in the end.

Chu Ning felt a little depressed in the envious eyes of the other Qi Condensation cultivators. Qin Shan was just using me to create momentum, not really wanting to repay him.

Qin Shan took a sip of the fragrant tea and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I heard that your shop doesn't seem to be doing well?"

"Senior Qin, since you know that I am not good at business, why don't you take this shop back?"

Chu Ning had a sincere expression on his face, and Qin Shan's eyes flashed with a hint of desire, but it was only for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Since I have given it to you, how can I take it back? However, not all of us cultivators are good at business."

Qin Shan pretended to be silent and said, "How about this, I will arrange a few people to run the store for you. Don't think too much. These people are just to help you maintain the business. This store is still yours."

"I am very grateful to Senior Qin for helping me, so how could I have any random thoughts?"

Chu Ning quickly stood up to express his gratitude, but he cursed in his heart, isn't this depriving him of his management rights?

In name, the shop belongs to him, but he has no control over the purchase and sale of goods. So how much money the shop can make is naturally decided by the people in Qinshan.

"I know you like to make alchemy, and I just happened to find an alchemy furnace recently. I will have someone send it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, senior."

During this moment, Chu Ning thanked many times, and finally left Miaoyin Pavilion with a smile on his face. He did not even touch the female cultivator's hand from beginning to end.

"It seems that if I really start preparing the foundation-building pill, I'm afraid Qinshan won't be able to accommodate me."

The best way to solve the problem of repaying a favor is to make the benefactor disappear.

Qin Shan did this today. No matter how grateful he appeared to be, this person would be on guard in his heart. After all, he was able to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Condensation and he was not a fool. He could not see that this was an act of seizing the shop.

Compensating himself with an alchemy furnace was just to shut himself up temporarily so as not to damage his "repaying gratitude character".

"Just drag it out with him for now. Anyway, the spirit stone is not particularly important to me at the moment."

…

…

Xiyue Sect.

The towering mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.

The mountains are long.

There is a rainbow across the sky, so beautiful.

In front of a waterfall, a woman in a red dress was sitting cross-legged in meditation, with spiritual energy surrounding her.

"Junior Sister Tang, there is a letter for you."

Tang Ruowei opened her eyes, and there was a light in her beautiful eyes. The only one who could write a letter to her was that guy.

With a few quick steps, Tang Ruowei came to the female cultivator who delivered the letter. This shocked the woman. She thought that Junior Sister Tang was aloof and would be calm in everything she did, but she didn't expect that she would be so impatient.
