I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 141 The purpose of Shanzong: to secure tens of millions of mansions
in the woods.

Xu Ruobing smoothed her hair lightly: "About the mountain gate token, I only found out about it after the powerful Jin Dan attacked Gu Fanzhou. If you want to know more specifically, you can go into the city to meet an elder of my family."

into town?

Chu Ning had no such idea at all. If he could enter the city, he wouldn't have been standing guard outside the Giant Spirit City for several days.

Because he wasn't sure what the Xu family was thinking.

After the incident occurred in Wen Jinshan, the so-called three-family alliance was disbanded, because the goal of the casual cultivator alliance was no longer the three families, but the opportunity in Wen Jinshan.

The most important thing is that if others don't know, how can he not know it himself? The mountain gate token is on him.

"Don't worry. Can Fellow Daoist Xu tell me what you know first?"

This man is so defensive.

Xu Ruobing murmured in her heart, pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't know much. The senior at home said that the Hundred Cities area actually originated from a sect a long time ago, and this sect was called Shan Sect."

"Shan Sect? The entire Hundred Cities area belongs to one sect?"

There was a look of surprise on Chu Ning's face, but there was no wave in his heart. He had already guessed how powerful Shan Zong was.

I'm afraid it's not just as big as the Hundred Cities area.

There are only more than 100 mountains in the Hundred Cities area, but the line of text he saw clearly showed that the Shan Sect has at least [-] peaks like the Wenjin Sect.

"If the senior in my family hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have believed that even those sects with Nascent Soul masters in charge don't have such a large territory."

Xu Ruobing spread her hands and expressed that she could understand Chu Ning's shock, because she was also shocked when she first heard it.

"Then how do these people know about the Mountain Gate token, and how can they be sure that the Mountain Gate token is in the hands of Senior Brother Gu? And how is this Mountain Gate token linked to the chance of Nascent Soul? Can you join the Mountain Sect with this token?"

How many questions did Chu Ning ask in a row?
Originally, he wanted to ask how to use the mountain gate token, but then he thought that if he asked like this, he might reveal that he owned the mountain gate token.

This woman Xu Ruobing is not a flower vase. A small mistake in her words may lead to some clues being guessed.

"Not long ago, the spiritual energy of Wenjin Mountain became much more stable, revealing the true appearance of the mountain. Someone saw the word Shan Zong, and then they knew that Wenjin Mountain belongs to Shan Zong."

"Didn't you say that the Hundred Cities area originally belonged to the Shan Sect? Then, Jinfeng originally belonged to the Shan Sect. Do you still need to see the handwriting to confirm?"

This time Chu Ning was not pretending to be confused, but really didn't understand.

"It is true that the Hundred Cities area belongs to the Shan Sect, but not all of the hundred mountains belong to the Shan Sect. According to what my senior said, there are only ten peaks in the entire Hundred Cities area that truly belong to the Shan Sect, and the rest More than 90 peaks can only be counted as associated peaks.”

As if afraid that Chu Ning would not understand, Xu Ruobing explained: "Mountains like Wenjin Mountain belong to the mother mountain. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipates over the years, these spiritual energy will form small peaks around it, and after a long time, the small peaks will Gradually it grew.”

Listening to Xu Ruobing's explanation, Chu Ning understood. This was not the difference between Zushan, Shaozushan and Zishan mentioned by the Feng Shui masters in the previous life.

"So when I ask about the mountains around Jinshan, are they all born from Jinshan?"

"That may be the case, but no one can guarantee that the life of a mountain will not be exhausted."

Based on the explanation given by Xu Ruobing, Chu Ning guessed: "Does every mountain peak belonging to the Shanzong have a mountain gate token?"

"Ah."

"Then how do you know that this mountain gate token is in Gu Fanzhou's hands?"

The mountain gate token was clearly in his hands, but those powerful golden elixirs thought it was on Gu Fanzhou, which meant that there was no way to lock the mountain gate token and they could only rely on guesswork.

If you want to make a guess, you should probably ask the master of the current sect.

"A disciple of Wenjin Sect revealed to the public that when Wenjinfeng's spiritual energy was violent, Gu Fanzhou once went to the treasure house alone, and those who hold the mountain gate tokens will not be harmed by Wenjinfeng's spiritual energy."

Chu Ning's face was gloomy. He didn't know whether the disciple of the Wen Jin Sect deliberately revealed it to the outside world or if he said it unintentionally, but it was most likely the latter, because the disciples of the Wen Jin Sect would not know the secrets of the Shan Sect and the mountain gate tokens.

Even Senior Brother Gu didn't know where these disciples could learn about this.

"This alone is too arbitrary..."

Chu Ning smiled bitterly in the middle of his words. Sometimes, as long as there is such a little suspicion, it is enough for those powerful golden elixirs.

Even if there is a [-]% chance of being able to step into Nascent Soul, many golden elixir experts will go crazy, not to mention that Senior Brother Gu is still very suspicious.

"What is the origin of this mountain sect, and why have I never heard of it being so powerful?" Chu Ning asked another interesting question.

"My senior didn't say much about Shan Zong. If you want to know, you can go to the city and ask that senior. That senior will not refuse you."

As soon as Xu Ruobing said these words, Chu Ning knew who the "senior" Xu Ruobing was talking about.

The monster from the Xu family that failed to form a pill.

"Want to ask?"

Chu Ning was a little hesitant. Although this demon beast failed to form a pill and his lifespan was short according to Lao Hei, he was definitely stronger than himself now.

Xu Ruobing saw Chu Ning's hesitation, and an incredible expression appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

What does Chu Ning's hesitation mean?
Afraid that the Xu family would be unfavorable to him?
This person's persecution delusion is probably too serious.

Not to mention that my Xu family is not the kind of person who repays kindness with hatred. Even if we really want to plot something, there must be a reason worthy of the plot.

"Master Chu doesn't want to go to the city, so I'll do it myself, old woman."

In front of the two of them, an old woman with white hair suddenly appeared in the open space, and Chu Ning almost ran away.

"Chun Ning, this is not a monster, but a tree demon. If the tree demon has to cultivate to the point where it is close to forming a core, it will have to live for at least a thousand years."

Lao Hei's voice rang in Chu Ning's ears. Chu Ning didn't know how Lao Hei saw it, but he knew that since Lao Hei dared to say this, he must be confident.

A lifespan of thousands of years is already longer than that of ordinary Nascent Soul experts.

"Chun Ning has met senior, but I don't know what to call him?"

"A dying person's name is not important. Mr. Chu can just call me Shupo."

The tree demon was very kind, which surprised Xu Ruobing on the side. The tree demon was not a good-tempered person.

In the clan, Grandma Shu has a better attitude toward him. Other tribe members, even his own father, have not treated him well.

Even though Grandma Shu failed to form the elixir, her status in the clan was very high. Even her father had to bow his head when facing Grandma Shu, because his father was beaten up by Grandma Shu when he was a child.

Grandma Shu has been accompanying the Xu family since her great-grandfather's generation, and it has been thousands of years now.

As for outsiders, Grandma Shu would never see them. She said that Grandma Shu would help Chu Ning clear up his doubts, in order to repay the love for alchemy.

"It turns out to be Grandma Tree." Chu Ning saluted, and the tree demon returned the salute, which made Xu Ruobing's eyes widen.

"Mr. Chu wants to know about the Shan Sect. The old woman can tell Mr. Chu that the Shan Sect has disappeared in the Hundred Cities area for a long time. Perhaps, it can be traced back to ten thousand years ago. I also learned some things from the mouths of the seniors in the clan."

The tree demon spoke slowly: "Young Master Chu, you should know that the aura of the Hundred Cities Area comes from the mountain peaks. If these mountain peaks did not exist, there would be no Hundred Cities Area."

"Yeah." Chu Ning nodded.

"These mountain peaks have given birth to hundreds of city monks, and even if the life of the mountain peaks is exhausted, they will eventually nurture hundreds of city monks. All this stems from the purpose of the Mountain Sect."

"What purpose?" Chu Ning and Xu Ruobing spoke at the same time. After speaking, they looked at each other. Xu Ruobing looked away silently, and Chu Ning smiled back.

Shu Po's expression became solemn: "Build a mountain peak to protect the monks in the world. This is the purpose of the Mountain Sect."

"Protecting monks all over the world?"

There was a look of emotion on Xu Ruobing's face, and Chu Ning was also shocked by the Shanzong's purpose, and subconsciously said: "With tens of millions of mansions, it can protect the poor people all over the world and make them happy?"

The tree demon looked at Chu Ning with some surprise: "Young Master Chu is very talented in literature. The purpose of the Mountain Sect is just as Young Master Chu said, to build mountain peaks and provide spiritual energy for those monks who have no sect."

"Mother-in-law, is it possible that the Shan Sect is taking this opportunity to win over those casual cultivators? Since it is called the Shan Sect, it must be a sect. Through this great cause, the Shan Sect recruits some talented casual cultivators to form its own power. , so as to fight with other sects.”

Chu Ning listened to Xu Ruobing's words and took another high look at the woman. Who said women are all emotional, but Xu Ruobing was very rational and immediately analyzed Shan Zong's motives.

After all, selfless people are indeed rare, especially monks.

The tree demon shook his head: "You underestimate the Shan Sect too much. The Shan Sect recruits disciples not based on talent nor cultivation. There is only one way to join the Shan Sect, and that is to build a mountain peak."

"Only by building a mountain peak and protecting enough monks, the mountain sect's mark will appear on the mountain. Only when the mountain sect's mark appears, can one be regarded as a mountain sect disciple and receive the mountain sect's inheritance."

"This process will take at least a thousand or even ten thousand years. If we don't have the same ideas, how can we do such a thankless thing?"

Chu Ning understood what Dryad meant. A person always plays a good person, no matter whether he is a good person or not, but as long as he keeps playing the role, he is a good person.

"Then according to what you said, grandma, the Shan Sect should be very powerful, so why did it disappear again?"

After a thousand years, it also means that at least the Nascent Soul realm has started, or even higher.

"My mother-in-law has no idea. The ancestors of the clan only vaguely remember it. It seems that a big event happened in this area, but when I think about it carefully, I can't remember it."

The tree demon sighed: "External Nascent Soul masters rarely come to the Baicheng area. One of the reasons seems to be related to the Shan Sect. However, these secrets are probably impossible to know unless you are in the Nascent Soul realm. My mother-in-law is alive because of Only after a long period of time and the special situation of our clan can we know this."

"Chun Ning, this Shan Zong should be a very thick thigh. I seriously doubt that the green mountain in your body is related to Shan Zong." Lao Hei said in Chu Ning's mind.

"There is no need for you to doubt me. You can guess it by thinking with your feet. All the spells given to me are related to the mountain. If I say it has nothing to do with the mountain sect, I won't believe it."

Chu Ning said to Lao Hei that the Immovable Mountain Technique he practiced should have something to do with the Shan Sect. Only his master and senior Zhao Yangming knew the specific relationship.

The reason why he felt that his master knew the secret of the Immovable Mountain Technique was because his master made a deal with the sect leader and asked Gu Fanzhou to give him the mountain gate token.

"Grandma Shu, what's the use of this mountain gate token? What's the chance of Nascent Soul?"

"After being approved by the Shan Sect, in addition to the Mountain Sect's mark on the mountain, you will also get a mountain gate token. With this token, you can enter the Shan Sect's mountain gate."

The tree demon saw the curious looks of Chu Ning and Xu Ruobing and knew what they were curious about.

"What I'm talking about is entering the mountain gate of the mountain sect, but it doesn't mean joining the mountain sect. The mountain gate is more like a secret realm, a secret realm established by the mountain sect."

"There are only two situations where the mountain gate will appear. One is when a disciple of the Shan Sect enters with a token in hand, and the other is when a mountain sect approved by the mountain sect has exhausted its lifespan and enters with a token."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly. The master must not have expected that Wen Jinshan's lifespan would come to an end when he allowed himself to obtain the mountain gate token. If he had expected it, the master would not have participated in the battle for Shanyang City.

So the master is confident that he will become a disciple of the Shan Sect?

Can you rely on the Immovable Mountain Technique?
"Mother-in-law, doesn't this mean that only a strong Jindan can enter the secret realm of the mountain gate?"

"As long as the mountain gate is open, you can enter without a token, but there are many dangers inside the mountain gate. Without a token, there is a risk of falling."

The tree demon looked at Chu Ning: "These golden elixir experts will suspect that the mountain gate token is in the hands of your senior brother. In addition to the reasons mentioned by Ruo Bing, there is another important reason. Ruo Bing failed to feel the existence of the mountain gate token at the moment when the mountain peak dried up. At most three The spiritual energy will be stable every month, but now it has lasted for more than half a year. It means that there is no second possibility for Jinshan to come to the secret realm of Tuoshanmen."

"If the Mountain Gate token was not sensed, there would be no Mountain Gate Secret Realm. Now that the Mountain Gate Secret Realm is about to appear, it proves that the Mountain Gate token was in the hands of a certain disciple of your current sect."

At the end of his words, the dryad looked at Chu Ning with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Xu Ruobing couldn't see this look, but from Chu Ning's angle, she could just see it.

"According to what I know so far, your senior brother is still safe. Although the golden elixir master who attacked has controlled your senior brother, there are no less than ten golden elixir masters in this city openly, let alone secretly. This A strong man of the Golden Core is now trying to avoid lynching and interrogating your senior brother."

"If your senior brother dies, he will be the target of public criticism regardless of whether he has obtained the mountain gate token or not. Your senior brother is very smart. When he found out that he was being targeted by the powerful Jin Dan, he loudly announced his identity."

Chu Ning was silent. He didn't expect that there would be such a complicated inside story involved.

"But your senior brother is only safe for a short period of time. When the Wenjin Mountain is opened, those powerful Jindan people will be the first to kill your senior brother if they don't get what they want. In addition, in order to prevent this mountain gate token from being used by other Wenjin sects, The disciples will choose to seal Wenjin Mountain, and any disciple of Wenjin Sect who dares to approach will be immediately arrested."

The words of the tree demon made Chu Ning's heart sink, but he knew that the tree demon was right. If he were one of these powerful golden elixirs, he would do the same thing.

"Chun Ning, don't be deceived by this tree demon. Even if what she said is true, didn't you find that she was wooing you?"

Lao Hei's voice suddenly sounded in Chu Ning's mind: "I have some doubts that this tree demon knows that the mountain gate token is not on your senior brother, but on you. By saying so much, he is afraid that he wants to make a deal with you."

After Lao Hei reminded him, Chu Ning also discovered the abnormality of the tree demon, which was too detailed.

He magnified the benefits of entering the mountain gate and then analyzed the current difficulties he was facing. This was the same behavior he had done in his previous life when he faced some new companies with development prospects and wanted to acquire their shares.

"Grandma Shu, juniors are relatively stupid. If seniors have something to say, you might as well tell Chu Ning clearly, in case Chu Ning doesn't understand what seniors mean."

Chu Ning stared at the tree demon. When he said these words, the person who reacted the most was Xu Ruobing, who seemed a little unaware of what Chu Ning meant by what he said.

However, there was admiration in the eyes of the old tree demon: "You can figure this out in such a short time, no wonder you can..."

The tree demon stopped talking and looked at Xu Ruobing: "Ruobing, Mr. Chu and I have something to say."

There was disbelief in Xu Ruobing's eyes. She understood what her mother-in-law meant. She wanted to talk to Chu Ning in private.

This was the first time since childhood that her mother-in-law had to avoid her. She couldn't think of anything her mother-in-law and Chu Ning had to say that she couldn't listen to.

But she still nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on the surroundings for my mother-in-law."

Xu Ruobing walked towards the edge of the forest. The tree demon looked at Chu Ning and suddenly raised his hands. Chu Ning's expression changed and he looked wary.

Because he felt the energy changes in the surrounding underground.

"Young master Chu, don't worry. I just summoned some tribesmen to help me keep it secret."

The tree demon saw Chu Ning's alert expression and explained. At this moment, ten meters away from the two of them, tree vines broke out of the ground. These tree vines grew towards the sky, intertwined with each other, and finally ended up between the two of them. They gathered in the center above their heads, forming an airtight tree hole.

A more accurate description is that these canes come together to form a tree canopy.

"Unless you are a strong Nascent Soul, even in the late stage of the Golden Core, it is impossible for your spiritual consciousness to penetrate these vines without me noticing."

There was confidence in the dryad's words, and Lao Hei also recognized it in Chu Ning's mind.

"The cultivation time of the grass and tree demon cultivators is far longer than that of our demon race and your human race. Our two races can build a foundation in a hundred years, but the grass and tree demon cultivators need several times the time."

"God is fair. Although the training time has been lengthened, God has also given some special magical powers to the grass and tree demon cultivators. These special magical powers are beyond our ability."

Chu Ning said nothing. Being so cautious could only mean one thing. The deal this tree demon wanted to make with him was extraordinary.

"Mr. Chu, let me ask you a question first: I would like to ask if Mr. Chu is practicing the Immovable Mountain Technique?"

The dryad's expression was very serious, "Please tell me the truth, sir. This is related to what I am going to say next."
