Chapter 312 Grandmaster's Tribulation

Ning Qiwei recalled that night when he stood in front of a thatched house outside Yelin Town. The moonlight was refreshing, and a trace of sadness arose in his heart. Even for a Taoist hermit who had no desires, Feng Ruhui's residence was too simple. . .

He said as a master: "Why interfere with something that is destined? You know our rules."

The once stunning beauty, now short and fat Feng Ruhui, smiled as if she had forgotten everything, "Strictly speaking, I didn't do anything. The two children ran out of Yelin Town on their own. This doesn't count as breaking the rules, right?"

Ning Qiwei retreated. From then on, he knew that he still had a knot in his heart, because he knew that Feng Ruhui actually broke the rules, but he refused to expose it in person.

The solitary lamp in the yard can prevent evil spirits from approaching, but there is also an invisible candle hidden in the pillar that holds up the solitary lamp. As a Taoist who is infused with spirits, how could he not see it?

Ning Qiwei examined his heart. He had already passed the love tribulation. He had no feelings for the beautiful Feng Ruhui or the short and fat Feng Po Po. His knot was a little guilty.

Decades ago, Ning Qiwei was going to pass the love tribulation with her, but changed his mind because of the words of the previous master, "Zuo Liuying is not suitable to be a master. Zhenhuan will destroy him. He must not be allowed to implicate Pangshan. Although you are only in the realm of swallowing smoke, you are young, talented, and practice harder than ordinary Taoists. You have accumulated enough potential. You only have one love tribulation to pass. You still have hope to surpass Zuo Liuying, or at least get close to him. Before I die, I hope to see you become a Taoist priest of infusion."

Just like that, Ning Qiwei decided to pass the love tribulation, but Feng Ruhui on the other side was not ready. After thinking again and again, especially after seeing the previous master showing obvious signs of decline, he decided to pass the tribulation in advance.

He is a Taoist priest and will never pass the tribulation secretly. The heart of a Taoist priest could not tolerate such shameless behavior. He immediately explained his predicament to Feng Ruhui and admitted that he had to make such a choice. "The entire Pangshan Mountain is on my shoulders. I must bear this heavy responsibility, not Zuo Liuying, who may be possessed by the devil at any time. Midnight ten days later is the time to pass the tribulation."

Like most Taoist priests who have a mortal relationship, the two have another home outside the Taoist tradition and spend a month together every year.

Feng Ruhui showed a smile that could make most Taoist priests in the Nine Great Daos fascinated. "I am also a Taoist priest. I understand that you have to do this. Don't worry about me. I have my own way to pass this level."

Ning Qiwei saw the despair and resentment contained in this sentence for a long time later. Perhaps he knew it at the time, but just pretended to turn a blind eye to it in order to pass the tribulation smoothly.

Ten days later, he passed the tribulation and successfully ascended to the Starfall Realm. Then he created a big miracle.

It took less than three years for him to become a Taoist priest who was infused with spirits. During this period, he received full help from the previous master. He was free to use elixirs and magic tools. For a whole year, he sat in the ancestral tower without leaving, enjoying the treatment that all Pangshan disciples envied.

Before the previous master's death, he said to him: "I have selected ten disciples. You are the one with the lowest cultivation level, but who would have thought that you would be the first to reach the state of infusion. Although you are a little worse than Zuo Liuying, you are enough to compete with him for the position of master."

Ning Qiwei realized at this time that the responsibility of Pangshan did not necessarily fall on his shoulders. He was just one of the ten seeds.

But he still succeeded. Not only did he defeat the other nine predecessors on the road of cultivation, but he also defeated Zuo Liuying, the strongest Taoist priest in Pangshan, in the master election. The latter victory was not as difficult as imagined. Zuo Liuying took the initiative to withdraw from the master election because of the abduction of Zhenhuan.

The guilt probably came from that time. Ning Qiwei reached the second level of the Injection Spirit at a very fast speed, but he did not make any progress in the following decades. This was not unusual for a high-level Taoist priest, but he knew that his practice had stopped and he had encountered the Sighing Tribulation - the rapid progress of several years had exhausted all his potential and passion for practice.

He inquired about Feng Ruhui's situation and was surprised to find that she did not go through the tribulation with him at all, but acted as a walker as a Taoist priest who swallowed smoke.

The walker is the first step before the hermit. Only Taoist priests who have walked in the mortal world for a period of time and have not cast spells under any circumstances are qualified to swear to become hermits. This period of time can be long or short, the shortest is ten years, and Feng Ruhui has been gone for more than thirty years.

Most hermits are high-level Taoist priests with a lifespan of hundreds of years. They cannot make progress in their practice and their mortal hearts are at the end. They leave the Taoist tradition and live the lives of ordinary people. From then on, they can no longer cast spells in the mortal world at will, but they will get help from the Taoist tradition when they encounter crises. Feng Ruhui is only over a hundred years old, and it is really unexpected to make such a choice.

Her footprints were all over the world. In the first twenty years, she couldn't help casting spells at some point. In the last ten years, she lived in Yelin Town, Xijie Country, and never cast spells. Seeing that she would become a hermit soon, she hid a piece of soul-calling invisible candle in her yard.

Because of that little bit of guilt, Grandmaster Ning Qiwei decided to let nature take its course. Feng Ruhui was a Taoist priest of Luanjing Mountain. Before she officially became a hermit, she had to undergo a strict mind control examination. The spellcasting would be exposed, and he didn't need to meddle in it.

He didn't expect that the soul-calling invisible candle took away a soul.

When Xiaoqiu and Fangfang stayed for the first time, Feng Ruhui had achieved his goal and left quickly with the excuse of the invasion of demons.

Two days later, Ning Qiwei discovered that the young men in Yelin Town suddenly had Dao roots, and the little girl even had a rare spiritual bone Dao root. He was surprised and thought that this was Feng Ruhui's purpose of hiding the candle. Since she did not succeed, he did not intend to pursue it.

A few years passed, and Ning Qiwei had no news of Feng Ruhui. He only knew that she finally gave up being a hermit and returned to the mountains to practice.

The demon clan was brewing a huge conspiracy, and the nine masters gathered in Luanjing Mountain. Ning Qiwei saw Feng Ruhui again and was shocked to find that she had become the Taoist Xingluo.

"I have passed the tribulation, more than forty years later than you." She regained her old beauty, without any change, and even her smile was exactly the same as before. "Now I can honestly say that you were the person I hated the most. You made me feel ashamed in the Nine Dao Sects."

"Why... didn't you choose to pass the tribulation with me?"

"I am glad to hear the news of my death."

"Rebirth after death. This is the fate of Taoists. Come, let me remove your sigh tribulation."

Ning Qiwei was slightly startled. Even in Pangshan, few Taoists knew that he had encountered the sigh tribulation and his practice had stagnated for many years. How did Feng Ruhui know?

Feng Ruhui did not explain. She demonstrated her strength and completely conquered Ning Qiwei. "The soul and Siming Ding are not only used for attack and control. They can also be used to promote cultivation. Siming Ding, the treasure of Luanjing Mountain, has accumulated for more than 130,000 years. There are hundreds of millions of souls in it. You only need to use a little bit of it to release powerful power, and even push you forward on the road of cultivation. This is something that no panacea can do. What's interesting is that the realm of the previous generations of masters is very high. Basically, there is no need for Siming Ding. The realm of the later generations of masters is getting lower and lower. They can only activate a small part of the power of Siming Ding, and the souls are basically retained. It is left to me, the master of the soul. The soul is not affected by the realm, it can activate all the power in the tripod."

The treasures of the nine Taoist sects all have almost endless magic power, but Taoist Fu Rimang has not been out for many years. No Taoist priest can stimulate all the power in the magic weapon. Feng Ruhui can indeed look down on the Taoist sect.

Ning Qiwei immediately thought of more uses for Siming Ding, "This is a powerful weapon to fight against the demons. We can select a group of Taoist priests and use Siming Ding to improve their realm. As long as there are enough Taoist priests who can serve the Sun Mang and Moon Mang, defeating the demons is a piece of cake."

Hearing Ning Qiwei excitedly talking about "we", Feng Ruhui knew that he had succeeded.

In the green world of Bilin, Ning Qiwei told Zuo Liuying everything, including his guilt, the instructions of the previous master, Feng Ruhui's words, etc., without missing anything.

The air and the ground were full of Pangshan disciples, most of whom had the same dull expression as Yang Baozhen. The one who confronted them was another group of Pangshan disciples, with very few people. Yang Qingyin looked at her biological parents and found that they didn't recognize her at all.

"You are the Taoist priest in Pangshan who has the most hope of reaching the realm of serving the Moon Mang or even serving the Sun Mang. With the help of Siming Ding and Shenhun, you will achieve your goal faster. Join, Zuo Liuying. Pangshan is just a false name. Without it, it will be gone. You will become stronger." Ning Qiwei spoke in an orderly manner, and there was indeed no sign of being controlled.

"Is that how you persuaded other masters?" Zuo Liuying rarely spoke, always looking thoughtful.

"Each master has different ideas, so the words of persuasion are also different. The master of Luanjing Mountain is reasonable and easy to persuade, but the ancestor of Wangshan is very stubborn. He is too old and not interested in ascending to the Fu Ri Mang realm. He only has one idea, which is to keep Wangshan while he is still alive. I just let out a little bit of the other masters, and before I had time to persuade them, everyone left Luanjing Mountain because of the invasion of the monsters. After eliminating the sea monsters and the northern monsters, I will visit them one by one."

Yang Qingyin had been listening to it, and at this time she couldn't help it, turned her head and said loudly: "Why didn't you come to persuade when we were alone in Duanliu City? You want Zuo Liuying to die, so you can take the ancestor tower with a clear reason, right?"

"But you didn't die. Not only did you defeat the monster soldiers, but you also came to Luanjing Mountain, so I think you are useful. To fight against the future demons, we need Taoists like you."

"You and Feng Ruhui are the ones who decide who is useful and useless?" Zuo Liuying asked. wānsh.ｃ

"Those who join first naturally have the right to decide who comes later. When you become a Taoist priest of Luanjing Mountain, you will also have such power."

Zuo Liuying raised his head slightly, as if seriously considering Ning Qiwei's suggestion.

"First seat, don't be fooled. The Grandmaster is not controlled. He is possessed by a demon." Yang Qingyin shouted loudly, "He actually let Feng Ruhui control the Taoist priest of Pangshan!"

Ning Qiwei glanced at the Taoist priests of the Five Elements Department who looked dazed. "This is a stopgap measure. When they feel more benefits of the Siming Ding... Zuo Liuying, what are you doing?"

Zuo Liuying's eyes returned to the Grandmaster. "I just sent a move to the Grandmaster of Luanjing Mountain. Unfortunately, I think she is useless to you now."

Ning Qiwei chuckled and felt a little regretful in his heart, "Feng Ruhui is always right. I shouldn't waste time on you."

The two cast spells at the same time.
