It's true what they say, no one is ever truly satisfied. If Jian Ning knew what he was thinking now, she would definitely want everything she gave him back.
Why not keep it for yourself? Why give it to such a heartless person? You might as well feed it to a dog.
Xiao Lingfeng didn't return until almost midnight after he went out.
The air-raid shelters on the mountain had also partially collapsed due to landslides and geological faults. When he arrived, they were organizing rescue efforts.
Thanks to the soldiers who had been injected with the gene serum, the leaders were rescued first and placed in a safe location.
To prevent aftershocks, this place can no longer be used. You should know that air-raid shelters are for protection against air raids and have a special structure, but they are not earthquake-proof.
He had been helping the soldiers with the rescue efforts and had only just returned, covered in a mixture of mud and sweat.
Without waking Aunt Wang and Tian Tian, she quietly went inside to take a bath. Water is so much more convenient now; ever since she learned the Water Ball technique, she never has to worry about running out of water.
I found Jian Ning's spells particularly useful, so as soon as I got up in the morning, I took the steamed buns that Aunt Wang had made and went to knock on the door.
There was no sound from inside for a long time. Did she go out? That shouldn't be the case. Based on Xiao Lingfeng's understanding of Jian Ning, she definitely wouldn't go out at this time. She was probably asleep and didn't hear anything.
Just as I was about to go back, Jian Anping came out with a basin.
"Brother Xiao, are you looking for Xiao Ning?"
"Yes, is she at your house?"
"No, that girl is very lazy. She must not have gotten up yet. Let her sleep. My uncle's family came over yesterday to help with the rescue. She's probably tired."
Upon hearing Jian Anping's words, Xiao Lingfeng immediately realized that the people he encountered when he went downstairs yesterday must be Jian Anping's relatives.
"I'm not staying at your house. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I don't need you. I'll stay downstairs. Anyway, there are plenty of empty rooms in this apartment."
"I'll settle down for now. It's just bad luck; the earthquake yesterday destroyed my uncle's building. I'll go and bring them some food first. Life is too hard these days."
Muttering to himself, he carried the basin downstairs. Xiao Lingfeng glanced at it and saw that it was full of big steamed buns, probably filled with meat.
He glanced at the plate in his hand and decided to take it back and eat it himself.
Just as I was about to turn back, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. I went to the window and looked down, and saw that there were quite a few people there.
He came to his building with large and small bags, and what he was sitting on were simple things he had made himself that could float on the water; they were not boats at all.
People were coming and going in every building of the entire residential complex.
It seems the weather has warmed up, and there was an earthquake yesterday, which scared everyone so much that they moved back home.
It looks like this building is going to be lively again.
Xiao Lingfeng carried the steamed buns and walked back home.
At this moment, Jian Ning was studying the array formation of the Treasure Pavilion in her immortal abode. She had finished reading the introductory book on array formations, but the array formation of this Treasure Pavilion was too profound for her to understand. She simply couldn't enter it.
Having a mountain of treasure but not being able to get your hands on it—can you imagine how frustrating that is?
After trying for a long time without success, I simply sat down on the ground.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, realizing how foolish he'd been. This immortal abode actually housed a sect; surely the disciples would have jade tokens identifying them. If he found those, he could enter.
Sure enough, by changing my perspective, everything became clear.
He stood up and headed straight for the houses where his disciples used to live, searching through each room.
This place has been abandoned for who knows how many years. Cobwebs and dust are everywhere. Some rooms are empty, while others are a mess, with pots and pans lying all over the floor.
After much searching, they finally found a jade pendant hidden in a garment hanging in the last room. It was engraved with the words "Fifth Glazed Glass," though it was unclear whether this was a name or a nickname.
However, it should be a female disciple's room, as everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and there was a teapot and teacups on the table, as if the owner had just left and was about to return.
Jian Ning, holding the jade token, returned to the treasure pavilion in a few flashes.
She strode straight in, and the array rippled. This time, there was no obstruction, and she went straight in, which made her extremely happy.
Why didn't I think of this earlier? I must have been struck dumb by lightning. But when I got to the door and pushed it, it still wouldn't open.
Enraged, she kicked the heavy door hard, only to be thrown out.
He fell flat on his backside.
It seems the treasure vault isn't a place ordinary disciples can enter at will. That makes sense; there must be someone specifically in charge of the keys. After all, it's a place storing treasures, so tight security is to be expected.
Having figured this out, Jian Ning dusted herself off and stood up again. She turned and went to the library. This time, she went up to the third and fourth floors without any trouble. This identity token was still somewhat useful.
I found a detailed explanation of intermediate-level formations, took it out, and what else could I do but keep studying it?
Anyway, this immortal abode is already hers, and no one can take it away. If all else fails, she can break the formation by force, but she has only just established her foundation and does not yet have the ability to break formations.
Just as I was about to go out, I saw the Linglong Pavilion in the distance. I've never been inside before, so I'll go and see what's inside.
He put the book on formations in his arms and strode over.
Just as I reached the doorway, before I even stepped onto the stairs, the door to the exquisite pavilion opened by itself.
It was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything.
Jian Ning took the Ruoshui Sword in her hand and strode inside. What is there for a cultivator to be afraid of? If one retreats at the first sign of danger, what kind of cultivator is that?
The moment he stepped inside, the door behind him slammed shut automatically, followed by an aged voice saying, "Fifth Liuli,"
The last time you attempted this challenge was 23,750 years ago. You failed the first challenge after three hours. I hope you will be brave and forge ahead this time without backing down.
Upon hearing this voice, Jian Ning couldn't help but curl her lip. This person named Fifth Liuli was too useless; he hadn't even passed the first level after more than three hours. Was it really that difficult?
She just didn't know what the challenges here would be. She couldn't be careless either; to be honest, she wasn't a particularly powerful person in her past life, otherwise she wouldn't have failed even a Nascent Soul Tribulation.
She tightened her grip on the sword and strode inside. As soon as she took a step, she heard a sudden sound beside her ear, and something flew over, but it was too dark to see clearly.
He swung his sword directly at something, clearly feeling that he had struck it, but there was no sound of anything hitting the ground. Although he was a little puzzled, he still strode forward.
