Chapter 205: Hidden in the Dark, Jindan Visits (Please Subscribe)

Amidst the praise from everyone, Chu Ning raised his head slightly.

But through the mask, no one could see his expression.

I didn't know that Chu Ning really didn't show such arrogance on purpose at this moment, 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."

After hearing the words of the old man surnamed Li, 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 be referring 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 the level of cultivation of the descendants has not kept up.

Gradually, the relationship with Jiuhua Sect became estranged.

Except for the families of several Jindan or above elders of Jiuhua Sect, these two families belong to the most powerful families around Jiuhua Mountain.

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.

There are also other late-stage foundation-building monks in the clan.

Generally speaking, except for Jiuhua Sect and a few Jindan monks nearby, no one else would dare to mess with these two people.

Soon, a ray of light flew over and landed in front of everyone.

Unlike the old man surnamed Li who was plain in appearance, the old man surnamed Cheng was tall and looked extremely powerful.

His expression was even more arrogant.

Based on Xiao Cheng's memory, Chu Ning recognized that the other party was Cheng Debeng.

As soon as he landed, Cheng Debeng looked at the old man named 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."

Li Yuzhong smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Cheng Debeng looked at Chu Ning.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm glad to hear that you have refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

My Cheng family wants to buy two pieces. Please give me a price. "

Seeing Cheng Debeng's slightly arrogant look, the others seemed to have gotten used to it, while Chu Ning snorted in her heart and said nothing.

This is not to say that Chu Ning is too confident that he has even been injured by the golden elixir.

But in the memory Chu Ning obtained, Xiao Cheng did not have a good impression of the old man named Cheng in front of him.

The reason is also very simple. Xiao Cheng once refined the elixir, but it was forced to buy it at a low price by the old man named Cheng.

At that time, because Xiao Cheng was not as strong as others, even though he felt unhappy, he only sighed secretly in his heart.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Chu Ning to show any favorable opinion of the old man.

Otherwise, everyone would find it strange.

Sure enough, when they saw Chu Ning ignoring Cheng Debeng, no one felt the slightest bit strange on their faces. Instead, they looked like they were watching a show.

Cheng Debeng's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed and said:

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Xiao is still brooding about what happened in the past. This time, Cheng is definitely sincerely seeking to buy from Fellow Daoist.

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. "

With that said, Cheng Debeng threw the spirit stone towards Chu Ning using the object-repelling technique.

But Chu Ning only glanced at the spirit stone bag, but ignored it at all, and said lightly:

"Not sold."

When Cheng Debeng heard this, he was stunned, "What did you say? It's not sold?"

As he spoke, Cheng Debeng raised his eyebrows, and there was some displeasure in his tone.

"How many foundation-building pills did you refine? I just sold a few and they were all sold out.

Could Fellow Daoist Xiao be playing tricks on me?

I'm still worried that I, Mr. Cheng, won't keep my word, so I can wait until the clan members arrive and then sell me this foundation-building pill. "

Chu Ning ignored the other party's displeasure and just said in a cold tone:

"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."

Cheng Debeng's expression froze, and his eyes suddenly became a little angry.

At this time, Li Yuzhong took the initiative and said:

"Old Ghost Cheng, Master Xiao should have sold four Foundation Establishment Pills after selling them to me.

I don’t think Alchemist Xiao meant to trick you with his words. "

As he spoke, Li Yuzhong smiled at Chu Ning.

That obviously meant to tell Chu Ning that he was not saying this to help Cheng Debeng, but to sell Chu Ning.

As soon as Li Yuzhong said this, everyone around him nodded.

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 four elixirs are made into them, the rate of elixir formation is really not low.

After all, "Pan Master Xiao" has probably never refined a Foundation Establishment Pill before.

The elixir formation rate is close to 50%, which is already very impressive.

After hearing Li Yuzhong's words, he saw everyone around him nodding.

Cheng Debeng took a deep look at Chu Ning, and the anger on his face dissipated a bit.

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 was also true. After all, he didn't have all the spiritual medicine for refining the foundation-building pills in his hand. Who knows when he will refine the pills next time.

As for the few foundation-building pills he still had, he would sell them when he was happy.

As soon as Chu Ning said this, Cheng Depeng, who was already holding back his anger, suddenly became furious.

"Xiao, do you really think you are so great?"

While yelling, Cheng Depeng completely released his aura, and while locking Chu Ning with his consciousness, he pressed towards Chu Ning.

Suddenly, a few foundation-building cultivators were fine, but the dozens of Qi-refining cultivators all changed color.

In terms of cultivation, the head of the Cheng family is at the peak of the late foundation-building stage.

This state is also called the perfect foundation-building or the false pill state. Although it still belongs to the late foundation-building stage in theory, it is actually only half a step away from forming a golden pill.

Everyone present, even a late foundation-building cultivator like Li Yuzhong, is slightly inferior to him.

Everyone's eyes were on Chu Ning at this moment, thinking that this Xiao Danshi might suffer.

Especially Li Yuzhong, his eyebrows slightly raised, thinking whether he should help Chu Ning out once, so as to win the favor of this alchemist.

After all, he knew that in addition to Cheng Depeng's high cultivation, his real strength was actually his spiritual consciousness.

This was also the reason why Cheng Depeng reached the perfection of foundation building first, although their cultivation levels were almost the same before.

Now Cheng Depeng suddenly attacked Chu Ning, and he would definitely use spiritual pressure.

However, what surprised Li Yuzhong and others was that.

Under the pressure of Cheng Depeng's momentum, Chu Ning seemed to be unaware.

"It's really disappointing. I won't sell this pill today."

As he spoke, Chu Ning waved his hand and put all the pills on the table and the table into the storage bag.

Chu Ning not only spoke calmly as usual, but also moved smoothly, indescribably calm.

The people around were just a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

They thought Cheng Depeng really just yelled and didn't do anything.

But Li Yuzhong and Cheng Depeng's faces changed, and their eyes were full of surprise.

They knew very well that Cheng Depeng didn't really do nothing just now.

And Chu Ning was able to deal with it so calmly, and even easily use mana to store things.

That can only prove one thing, Chu Ning's consciousness is very strong, at least stronger than what Cheng Depeng just released.

Although Cheng Depeng didn't use his full strength, and didn't really launch a substantial attack.

But this was enough to surprise the two.

You know, Chu Ning is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and Chu Depeng is already close to forming a pill.

Cheng Depeng was surprised, and soon sneered again.

"Well, it turns out that Master Xiao Dan is really hidden, and I, Cheng, have misjudged him.

If I don't convince Master Xiao Dan today, it seems that my Cheng family will not get this foundation building pill."

As he spoke, Cheng Depeng's eyes flashed.

Chu Ning raised his head again at this moment, looking at the sky sideways, with an indifferent look.

At the same time, he muttered to himself.

"A furnace of foundation-building pills, it's really lively today, it seems that people from Jiuhua Sect are here."

Just as Chu Ning finished muttering to himself, Cheng Depeng and Li Yuzhong turned their heads one after another and looked to one side.

Cheng Depeng, who was quite impressive just now, now had a flickering look in his eyes.

Everyone saw that Cheng Depeng suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes looked at the sky again, and guessed that someone might be coming again.

So, they all turned their heads to look.

Then, they saw a stunning figure approaching from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of everyone.

At the same time, a clear voice sounded.

"Master Xiao Dan, Gong Yuyuan of Jiuhua Sect is here to visit!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present suddenly froze slightly.

Everyone present was in the sphere of influence of Jiuhua Mountain, and naturally knew something about the masters in Jiuhua Sect.

Gong Yuyuan, that is the great elder of Jiuhua Sect, a late Jindan cultivator.

In Jiuhua Sect, his strength is second only to the great elder, that is, the only Yuanying cultivator in the sect, and the Jiuhua Sect Master.

He is one of the top three people in Jiuhua Mountain.

Everyone has heard what this person said just now, and naturally they also know the other party's intention.

Everyone really didn't expect that in such a short time, this foundation-building pill would attract such a person.

Chu Ning's information about the people in Jiuhua Sect is relatively vague, and Xiao Cheng didn't seem to pay much attention to this information before.

As for the people in Jiuhua Sect, in his memory, there is only a little information about the Yuanying cultivator.

There is also a late foundation-building cultivator who came here last time, Jiang Yanmao, the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion.

However, when sensing the changes in everyone's expressions, Chu Ning can also roughly guess one or two.

And when the person who spoke fell in front of him, Chu Ning's face under the mask couldn't help but become more serious.

There were two people coming. The person behind was Jiang Yanmao, the deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion who appeared in Xiao Cheng's memory.

He was of medium build and had a dark face, so he was very easy to recognize.

The person standing in front was a purple-robed monk who looked about 60 years old and had a majestic aura without anger.

He stood there with an amazing aura.

Not to mention the Yin Mo Sect elder who Chu Ning fought against in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, but also Xin Wuya, the cheaper master of Qingxi Sect than Chu Ning, whose cultivation seems to be even more unfathomable.

"Jindan late-stage monk!"

Chu Ning was secretly shuddering in her heart.

Along with the rest of the people, they bowed their hands slightly and saluted.

No matter how lonely "Alchemy Master Xiao" is, he still won't be arrogant when he sees the Golden Alchemy cultivator.

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 Alchemist Xiao. The others should leave first."

After hearing Gong Yuyuan's words, many monks immediately left with complicated expressions.

Among them, Cheng Debeng's face was the most complicated.

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, his attempt to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill would be completely out of reach.

After everyone left, He Yanmao, who had met Chu Ning before, had a smile on his black face, and then said to Chu Ning:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is Uncle Gong, the great elder of our Jiuhua Sect.

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, it also directly opened the formation restriction.

Inviting the two of them to an attic tea room, Chu Ning sat with them 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 had refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, but I wonder if he still has it in his hand. "

"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?"

Chu Ning did not say that this was his first time refining, but said vaguely: "I have refined it once with my master."

Gong Yuyuan nodded and said:

"I heard that Alchemist Xiao has inherited the ancient sect's 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, so I will talk to Master Xiao for now.

There were originally three outstanding alchemists in the sect, all of whom could refine foundation-building pills.

One is Junior Brother Ling, who is in the early stage of Golden Elixir and is trying to retreat in the middle stage of Golden Elixir.

The other one was Master Nephew Qiu, who passed away not long ago, and Junior Brother Ling’s son, Master Nephew 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 hand training at one time. "

When He Yanmao heard this, his expression was slightly embarrassed.

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.

I hope Master Xiao can seriously consider joining our Jiuhua Sect. "

Chu Ning raised her head and looked at Gong Yuyuan, pondering slightly, but did not answer 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 at this moment:

"Because the Supreme Elder is in retreat and the sect master is away on business, I am here to officially represent the Jiuhua Sect.

As long as Master Xiao joins the Jiuhua Sect, I can agree to some of Master Xiao's requests on behalf of the sect and provide sufficient resources for alchemy and cultivation.

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 a 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-stage Jindan monk is going to use both kindness and power.

However, being able to let a late-stage Jindan monk persuade him for a long time is almost enough.

Feeling that the heat was in place, Chu Ning slowly said:

"Since Elder Gong personally came to invite me, if this junior still doesn't agree, it would be a bit disrespectful."

As soon as he heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on Gong Yuyuan's face.

"Okay! If Master Xiao joins, he will be the deacon of Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion from now on.

My palace promised that there will be no difference in treatment or status, and it may even be higher than lower. "

And He Yanmao was relieved.

God knows how much pressure their alchemy hall has encountered recently.

Chu Ning's tone was still relatively calm at this moment, and she said slowly:

"It's okay to join Jiuhua Sect, but I still have a few conditions. I hope Elder Gong can agree."

"Master Xiao, please tell me." Gong Yuyuan seemed to have expected Chu Ning to make conditions, but he didn't seem too surprised.

However, as Chu Ning continued to talk, the expressions of Gong Yuyuan and He Yanmao became a little surprised.

After about half an hour, Chu Ning and Gong Yuyuan had completely agreed to join Jiuhua Sect.

Chu Ning took off the silver mask on his face in front of Gong Yuyuan, revealing his young face.

This surprised the two people on the opposite side.

…

A few days later, there was a rumor near Jiuhua Mountain.

It is said that Xiao Danshi, a well-known master near Jiuhua Mountain, has refined the foundation-building pill, and the great elder of Jiuhua Sect personally came to invite him to join the sect.

However, Xiao Danshi did not agree, and only said that he would consider it and reply in three days.

Three days later, when the great elder of Jiuhua Sect came again, he found that Xiao Danshi had gone.

So the great elder of Jiuhua Sect was furious and issued a hunting order, requiring Jiuhua Sect to hunt this person with all its strength.

Many cultivators even went to the residence of Xiao Danshi to check, and indeed found that the cliff cave had been destroyed.

For a time, many cultivators near Jiuhua Mountain sighed.

Some felt that it was not easy to be a casual cultivator, and some were upset that they did not buy the foundation-building pill in time.

However, Xiao Danshi has always been a loner and did not make any friends. After a short period of time, everyone gradually forgot about this matter.

No one mentioned it again.
