Chapter 205: Hiding deeply, Jin Dan visits (please subscribe)
While everyone was praising him, Chu Ning raised his head slightly.
It’s just that through the mask, no one can see his expression.
Of course, Chu Ning didn't know that at this moment, Chu Ning really didn't show such arrogance on purpose, but looked towards the direction where someone was flying from.
The old man surnamed Li put away the jade bottle at this moment, and seemed to be about to say something, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
“Hey, Old Ghost Cheng is here too.”
Hearing what the old man surnamed Li said, everyone raised their eyes.
Chu Ning was also slightly moved at this moment. The so-called old ghost Cheng in the mouth of the old man surnamed Li should refer to the Cheng family.
If nothing else happens, it should be the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Debeng.
The Li family and the Cheng family are two relatively famous immortal cultivating families near Jiuhua Mountain.
It is said that the ancestors of both families held high positions in the Jiuhua Sect in the past, but their descendants did not keep up with their level of cultivation.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Chu Ning to show any good opinion of the old man.
That obviously meant telling Chu Ning that he was not saying this to help Cheng Debeng, but to sell Chu Ning.
With that said, Cheng Debeng threw the spirit stone towards Chu Ning using the object-repelling technique.
Cheng Debeng was stunned when he heard this, "What did you say? It's not sold?"
Chun Ning ignored the other party's displeasure and just said in a cold tone:
Cheng Debeng's expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became a little angry.
The reason is also very simple. Xiao Cheng once refined the elixir once, but it was forcibly bought by the old man surnamed Cheng at a low price.
Based on Xiao Cheng’s memory, Chu Ning recognized that the other party was Cheng Debeng.
Except for the families of several Jindan or above elders of the Jiuhua Sect, these two families are among the most powerful families around Jiuhua Mountain.
“How many foundation-building pills did you refine? I just sold a few and they were all sold out.
Li Yuzhong smiled and said nothing.
The head of the Li family, the old man surnamed Li, Li Yuzhong, and the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Debeng, are both late-stage foundation-building monks, and both of them have the strength to reach the golden elixir stage.
As he spoke, Cheng Debeng raised his eyebrows, and there was some displeasure in his tone.
“It seems that Daoist Xiao is still brooding about what happened in the past. This time, Cheng is definitely sincerely seeking to buy from fellow Taoist.
Generally speaking, except for Jiuhua Sect and a few Jindan monks nearby, other people generally dare not mess with these two people.
Different from the old man surnamed Li who was not good-looking, the old man surnamed Cheng was tall and looked extremely powerful.
I'm still worried that I, Mr. Cheng, don't keep my word, so you can wait until someone from the clan arrives and then sell me this foundation-building pill. "
At that time, because Xiao Cheng was not as strong as others, even though he felt unhappy, he only sighed secretly in his heart.
But Chu Ning only glanced at the spirit stone bag, but ignored it at all, and said lightly:
“Not sold.”
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, I’m glad to hear that you have refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.
I think Master Xiao did not mean to trick you with his words. "
Soon, a ray of light flew over and landed in front of everyone.
As he spoke, Li Yuzhong smiled at Chu Ning.
I have already informed my clan members to send some spiritual medicine as soon as possible. There are also nearly 4,000 spiritual stones here. Fellow Taoist, please take a look. "
Her expression was even more arrogant.
At this time, Cheng Debeng looked at Chu Ning.
“Old Ghost Cheng, Master Xiao should have sold four Foundation Establishment Pills after selling them to me.
I, the Cheng family, want to buy two coins. Please give me a price. "
Could Fellow Daoist Xiao be playing tricks on me?
Looking at Cheng Debeng's slightly arrogant look, the others seemed to have gotten used to it, but Chu Ning snorted in his heart and said nothing.
Gradually, the relationship with Jiuhua Sect became estranged.
"Why am I telling you this? When I say that the Foundation Establishment Pill is sold out, it is sold out. If you want to buy it, do it early next time."
But among the memories Chu Ning obtained, Xiao Cheng did not have a good impression of the old man named Cheng in front of him.
Cheng Debeng’s eyes narrowed, and then he laughed and said:
There are also other late-stage foundation-building monks in the clan.
As soon as Li Yuzhong said this, everyone around him nodded.
Otherwise, everyone would find it strange.
Li Yuzhong took the initiative and said:
Sure enough, when they saw Chu Ning ignoring Cheng Debeng, no one felt the slightest surprise on their faces. Instead, they looked like they were watching a show.
It's not that Chu Ning is self-sufficient and even injured the golden elixir.
As soon as he landed, Cheng Debeng looked at the old man surnamed Li, Li Yuzhong, and said carelessly:
“Old Ghost Li, I didn’t expect you to have better information than me. I rushed here immediately, but you beat me to it.”
They just watched Chu Ning sell four Foundation Establishment Pills.
Under normal circumstances, it is relatively normal to refine nine elixirs from a furnace of elixirs, but if you need to refine four elixirs, the rate of elixir formation is really not low.
After all, "Master Xiao" has probably never refined a foundation-building elixir before.
The elixir formation rate is close to 50%, which is already very impressive.
Hearing Li Yuzhong's words, he saw everyone around him nodding.
Then Cheng Debeng took a deep look at Chu Ning, and the anger on his face was somewhat dissipated.
Then he asked in a relatively calm tone: "I wonder when Master Xiao will refine the Foundation Establishment Pill next time and sell it?"
"I don't know." Chu Ning still ignored the other party's gaze and answered coldly.
What he said is true. After all, he currently has a lot of foundation-building pills to refine elixirs. Who knows when he will make the next pill.
As for how many Foundation Establishment Pills he still has in his hand, he will naturally sell them out when he is happy.
As soon as Chu Ning said these words, Cheng Debeng, who was already holding back his anger, suddenly became furious.
“Xiao, do you really think you are great?”
While roaring, Cheng Debeng's aura completely released, and while his consciousness locked onto Chu Ning, he pressed towards Chu Ning.
Suddenly, a few foundation-building monks were okay, but the dozens of Qi-refining monks all changed their expressions.
In terms of cultivation, the head of the Cheng family is at the pinnacle of the later stage of foundation building.
This state is also called the perfection of foundation building or the state of false elixir. Although theoretically it still belongs to the late stage of foundation building, in fact it is only half a step away from forming a golden elixir.
Everyone present, even late-stage foundation-building monks like Li Yuzhong, was slightly inferior to him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Ning at this moment, thinking that Master Xiao might suffer a lot.
Especially Li Yuzhong, who slightly raised his brows and thought about whether he should help Chu Ning to save Chu Ning in order to win the alchemist's favor.
After all, he knew that apart from Cheng Debeng's high cultivation level, what was truly powerful was his spiritual consciousness.
This is also the reason why although the two people had similar cultivation levels before, in the end Cheng Debeng reached the perfection of foundation building first.
Now that Cheng Debeng suddenly attacks Chu Ning, he will inevitably use spiritual pressure.
However, what shocked Li Yuzhong and others was extremely surprising.
Under the pressure of Cheng Debeng's momentum, Chu Ning seemed not to notice it.
“What a disappointment, this elixir is not for sale today.”
As he spoke, Chu Ning waved his hand and put all the pills on the table and the table into the storage bag.
Chun Ning not only spoke with a calm expression as usual, but also moved smoothly and with indescribable calmness.
Everyone around him was just a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
I thought Cheng Debeng really just yelled and didn't take any action.
But Li Yuzhong and Cheng Debeng's expressions changed, and their eyes were full of surprise.
The two of them knew very well that Cheng Debeng had not really done nothing just now.
Chuning was able to deal with it so calmly, and could even easily use mana to collect and store things.
That can only prove one thing, Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness is very strong, at least stronger than what Cheng Debeng just released.
Although Cheng Debeng did not use all his strength, nor did he really launch a substantive attack.
However, this was enough to surprise the two of them.
You must know that Chu Ning is only in the middle stage of foundation building, while Peng Depeng is already close to forming a core.
Cheng Debeng was surprised and soon sneered again.
“Okay, it turns out that Master Xiao is really secretive, and I, Cheng, am mistaken.
If Master Xiao is not convinced today, it seems that our Cheng family will not be able to obtain the foundation-building pill. "
While speaking, Cheng Debeng's eyes flashed.
At this moment, Chu Ning raised his head again and looked sideways at the sky, looking unconcerned.
At the same time, I muttered something secretly in my heart.
“A furnace of foundation-building pills, it’s really lively today. It seems that people from the Jiuhua Sect are here.”
Just as Chu Ning finished muttering to himself, Cheng Debeng and Li Yuzhong turned their heads one after another and looked to one side.
Cheng Debeng, who was quite majestic just now, his eyes flickered at this moment.
Everyone saw that Cheng Debeng suddenly stopped talking and looked at the sky again, guessing that someone else might be coming. So, they all turned their heads to look.
Immediately, I saw a startling roar approaching from far away, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of everyone.
At the same time, a clear voice sounded.
“Alchemist Xiao, Jiuhua Zonggong Yuyuan is here to visit!”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present were slightly shuddered.
Everyone present is within the sphere of influence of Jiuhua Mountain, and they naturally know a thing or two about the masters in Jiuhua Sect.
Gong Yuyuan, that is the great elder of Jiuhua Sect and a monk in the late Jindan period.
Within the Jiuhua Sect, his strength is second only to the Taishang Elder, the only Yuanying monk in the sect, and the head of the Jiuhua Sect.
He is one of the top three most powerful people in Jiuhua Mountain.
Everyone has heard what this person said just now, and naturally they also know the purpose of the other person's visit.
No one really expected that in such a short period of time, this Foundation Establishment Pill would attract such a person.
Chun Ning’s information about the people in the Jiuhua Sect was relatively vague. Xiao Cheng didn’t seem to pay much attention to this information before.
For everyone in Jiuhua Sect, in his memory, there is only a little information about the Yuanying monk.
There is also a late-stage foundation-building monk who came here last time, Jiang Yanmao, the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion.
However, Chu Ning was able to make a rough guess when he sensed the changes in everyone's expressions.
And when the person who made the noise fell in front of him, Chu Ning's face under the mask couldn't help but become more serious.
There were two people coming, and the person behind him was Jiang Yanmao, the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion who had appeared in Xiao Cheng's memory.
This man is of medium height and has a dark face, so he is very easy to recognize.
The person standing in front of him was a purple-robed monk who looked about sixty years old and was not angry or dignified.
This man stood there with an astonishing aura.
Not to mention the Yin Mo Sect elder whom Chu Ning fought against in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, Xin Wuya, the cheaper master of Qingxi Sect than Chu Ning, seems to have even more unfathomable cultivation.
“Late Golden Core Monk!”
Chun Ning was secretly shuddering in her heart.
Following the rest of the people, they bowed their hands slightly and saluted.
No matter how lonely "Alchemist Xiao" is, he will not be arrogant when he sees the Golden Alchemist.
Gong Yuyuan, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, had a smile on his face at the moment, glanced at the people around him, and then slowly said:
“This sect has something to discuss with Master Xiao. The others should leave first.”
Hearing what Gong Yuyuan said, many monks immediately left with complicated expressions.
Among them, Cheng Debeng’s face was the most complex.
He naturally knows a thing or two about the current situation of the Alchemy Pavilion in Jiuhua Sect.
At this moment, he naturally knew that with the intervention of Jiuhua Sect, he might have no chance of purchasing this Foundation Establishment Pill.
After everyone left, He Yanmao, who had met Chu Ning before, had a smile on his face, and then said to Chu Ning:
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is our Jiuhua Sect Grand Elder Gong Shibo.
Uncle Master, this is Fellow Daoist Xiao. "
“I’ve met Senior Gong.” Chu Ning didn’t show off, and saluted him again.
Gong Yuyuan smiled and said:
“Master Xiao, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to come to your cave to talk.”
“Senior, please!” Chu Ning nodded and made a gesture of invitation, then took the lead and flew towards the cliff.
At the same time, the formation ban was also directly opened.
Inviting the two of them to an attic tea room, Chu Ning and the two of them sat facing each other.
Gong Yuyuan went straight to the topic and said:
“Alchemist Xiao should have guessed our intention, and I want to confirm one thing with Alchemist Xiao first.
I heard that Master Xiao has refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, but I wonder if he still has it. "
“There is one more.” Chu Ning said calmly, reached out and took out a jade bottle and placed it in front of Gong Yuyuan.
The latter did not take it, but glanced at the jade bottle with his consciousness, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“What a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill. Master Xiao has refined the Foundation Establishment Pill before?”
Chun Ning did not say that it was his first time refining it, but said vaguely: "I have refining it once with my master."
Gong Yuyuan nodded and said:
“I heard that Alchemist Xiao has inherited the ancient alchemy skills. It seems that this is true.”
After a pause, he continued:
“I don’t know how much Master Xiao knows about the situation of the internal alchemists of our Jiuhua Sect. Let me talk to Master Xiao for now.
There were originally three outstanding alchemists in the sect, all of whom could refine the foundation-building pills.
One is Junior Brother Ling, who is in the early stage of Jindan and is in retreat in the middle stage of Jindan.
The other one is Master Nephew Qiu, who passed away not long ago, and Master Nephew Ling, the son of Junior Brother Ling, was killed when he went out. "
As he spoke, Gong Yuyuan pointed at He Yanmao who was standing aside.
“Master Nephew He has also been refining the Foundation Building Pill recently, but the success rate of the pill is not high yet.
Even our Jiuhua Sect can hardly have so many medicinal materials for its hand training at one time. "
He Yanmao looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this.
Gong Yuyuan continued:
“Master Nephew He once mentioned to Alchemist Xiao about joining our Jiuhua Sect. This time I heard that Alchemist Xiao could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I came directly.
Hope that Master Xiao can seriously consider joining our Jiuhua Sect. "
Chun Ning raised his head and looked at Gong Yuyuan, pondered slightly, and did not answer the question immediately.
On the one hand, this is naturally in line with Xiao Cheng's character. On the other hand, not agreeing readily is also to set conditions for himself to gain more chips.
Gong Yuyuan continued:
“Because the Supreme Elder is in retreat and the sect leader is away on business, I am here to officially represent the Jiuhua Sect.
As long as Alchemist Xiao joins the Jiuhua Sect, I can agree to some of Master Xiao’s requests on behalf of the sect and provide sufficient alchemy and cultivation resources.
I also know that Master Xiao, you have obtained a lot of cultivation resources by selling elixirs, but the resources of a large sect are beyond your imagination. "
Speaking of this, Gong Yuyuan paused slightly and added lightly:
“There is one more thing that Master Xiao needs to understand.
In this Jiuhua Mountain, if there is any Foundation Establishment Pill flowing out, we only hope to pass through the Jiuhua Sect. "
When he said this, Gong Yuyuan did not show any momentum, but these light words made Chu Ning feel trembling in his heart.
He naturally knew what Gong Yuyuan's words meant.
It seems that this late Jindan monk is going to do both kindness and power.
However, it’s almost enough to have a late-stage Jindan monk persuade me for a long time.
Feeling that the heat was in place, Chu Ning slowly said:
“Since the palace elder has personally come to invite me, it would be disrespectful for me if I don’t agree.”
As soon as he heard this, Gong Yuyuan suddenly smiled on his face.
“Okay! If Alchemist Xiao joins, he will be the deacon of the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion from now on.
I promise that there will be no difference in treatment or status, and it may even be higher than lower. "
He Yanmao was relieved.
God knows how much pressure their alchemy hall has encountered recently.
Chun Ning’s tone was still relatively calm at this moment, and he said slowly:
“It’s okay to join the Jiuhua Sect, but I still have a few conditions that I hope Elder Gong can agree to.”
"Master Xiao, please speak." Gong Yuyuan seemed to have expected that Chu Ning would make conditions, but he didn't seem too surprised.
However, as Chu Ning continued, the expressions of Gong Yuyuan and He Yanmao became a little surprised.
After about half an hour passed, Chu Ning and Gong Yuyuan fully agreed on joining the Jiuhua Sect.
Chuning, in front of Gong Yuyuan, reached out and took off the silver mask from his face, revealing his young face.
Aroused a moment of surprise from the two people opposite.
…
A few days later, there was a rumor near Jiuhua Mountain.
It is said that the famous Xiao Danshi near Jiuhua Mountain refined the Foundation Building Pill, and the great elder of Jiuhua Sect personally came to invite him to join the sect.
But Master Xiao did not agree. He only said that he would think about it and reply in three days.
Three days later, when the great elder of Jiuhua Sect came again, he found that Master Xiao had already left the building.
So the chief elder of Jiuhua Sect was very angry and issued a pursuit order, asking Jiuhua Sect to pursue and kill this person with all his strength.
Many monks even went to the residence of Master Xiao to check, and sure enough they found that the cliff cave had been destroyed.
For a time, many monks near Jiuhua Mountain were in mourning.
Some people lament that it is not easy to become a casual cultivator, while others are annoyed that they did not buy the Foundation Establishment Pill in time.
However, Master Xiao has always been lonely and has not made many friends. After a short period of time, everyone gradually forgot about this matter.
No one mentioned it again.
