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

Chapter 161: Daoist friend Chu is righteous and is worshiped by You Xing

Spring to autumn.

Chu Ning 30 year calendar.

Unknowingly, more than a year has passed since Chu Ning came to Xiyue Sect.

This is the most peaceful and comfortable year Chu Ning has ever lived.

"No wonder so many monks want to join a big sect. If you join a big sect, it will be good. You will be able to survive droughts and floods without risking your life."

Chu Ning leaned her head on the small mound and looked at the red clouds in the sky.

In one year, the small mound of soil, which was originally as big as a fist, has more than quintupled in size and is almost the size of a pillow.

For Chu Ning, he has indeed lived a comfortable life this year. It is the most comfortable year since he time traveled.

Back in Daning County, he wanted to change his fate at the bottom and practiced martial arts desperately.

Later, he encountered an incident at Wushuangmen and began to flee again.

After finally cultivating to the master level, I discovered that the Liang Dynasty was just a small area, and finally arrived at Wenjin City.

In order to survive in Wenjin City, he sold his life, and was implicated by Qin Shan and became Dannu. Fortunately, he was finally accepted as a disciple by his master.

But even after becoming his master's disciple, Chu Ning still felt insecure in Wenjinzong.

This is brought about by the living environment of Wenjin City or the Hundred Cities area. The forces in the entire Hundred Cities area are constantly conquering, and it is impossible to control one's own destiny without the golden elixir.

It was only after coming to Xiyue Sect that he could completely relax.

The Xiyue Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years. There are many powerful Jindan practitioners in the sect, and there are also legendary Nascent Soul experts who are here to take care of its safety and stability.

Even if there are sects as powerful as Xiyue Sect, the two sides will not start a war to compete for territory. In these long tens of thousands of years, the various sects have already divided their territories.

In the past year, apart from practicing and refining elixirs, he spent the rest of his time cultivating the mountain.

Although the days are dull, they are his favorite days.

He has already thought about it.

I will take care of myself in Xiyue Sect and will not leave until I reach the late stage of Jindan.

There are still two golden elixir Dao fruits in the storage bag. There is no need to prepare for elixir formation. You only need to wait for the number of spiritual springs in the Dantian to reach nine before you can proceed with elixir formation.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed here."

Just when Chu Ning began to dream about the comfortable life of retirement, You Xing came over from the other side of the hillside.

"Brother You has made another breakthrough in alchemy. Do you want to compete with me?"

Seeing You Xing's smiling face, Chu Ning knew that You Xing must have made another breakthrough in alchemy.

This year You Xing lived in the cave next door to him, and would often come to him to exchange ideas on alchemy.

But in terms of experience, Chu Ning really has nothing to teach him, because he doesn't have much experience at all.

I can't tell You Xing that my experience is that I can see the refining process of the elixir.

Therefore, every time we exchanged opinions, You Xing did most of the talking, and Chu Ning occasionally added a word or two.

In addition to communication, You Xing also challenged Chu Ning several times, but after losing three games in a row, You Xing never mentioned the contest again.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, don't laugh at me. I don't dare to compete with you. Isn't this humiliating myself?"

You Xing smiled bitterly. If he had indeed had a desire to win when he first met Chu Ning, over the past year, after he was confident enough to compete with Chu Ning and lost consecutively, he had completely lost his desire to win.

"Brother You, don't be discouraged. Your research and talent in alchemy are no worse than mine. Maybe you just lack a little luck."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, You Xing not only didn't feel happy, but instead felt even more tired.

As Chu Ning's neighbor over the past year, he also understood Chu Ning's practice rules.

Over the past year, two of his alchemy furnaces have been scrapped, but Chu Ning can count on one hand the number of times he has opened the furnace. Except for the three competitions with himself, he only refined the elixir twice during the rest of the time.

This reminded him of what his master had said about Chu Ning.

If one's talent in alchemy is a gift from God, then Chu Ning is a gift from God.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I am here to inform you of the news. Xiyue Sect is planning to hold an alchemist competition. All alchemists below the third level can participate. If they can win the crown, they will receive generous rewards. "

"Xiyue Sect holds an alchemist competition?"

Chu Ning had a look of confusion on his face. He had been walking around Riyue Mountain a lot in the past year, and he also took time to visit the market. He had a general understanding of Xiyue Sect's situation.

In terms of alchemy, Xiyue Sect can be said to be inferior to even the current sect. There are only three second-grade alchemy masters in Xiyue Sect, and they are all male cultivators at Red Sun Peak.

The female cultivators of the Xiyue Sect do not refine alchemy, and the three second-grade alchemy masters from Hongri Peak have not turned off the alchemy furnace all year round, and they are almost dry and smoking.

However, even if the three second-grade alchemy masters' elixir furnaces emit smoke, it is impossible for them to supply the entire Xiyue Sect's disciples to practice. Most of Xiyue Sect's elixirs are purchased from outside.

So, the Xiyue Sect’s senior officials are now changing their strategy and preparing to train alchemists?

"Actually, I knew this news as early as a year ago. This is one of the reasons why Master asked me to come to Xiyue Sect."

"It seems that Brother You is here for No. 1 in the alchemy competition." Chu Ning said with a smile.

"As long as Fellow Daoist Chu is here, it will be my turn to be number one."

You Xing was not being modest. After losing to Chu Ning three times in a row, he never expected to win No. 1 in the alchemy competition.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist You, I will not participate in this alchemist competition."

Chu Ning smiled slightly, this kind of limelight thing is not suitable for him. As for rewards and so on, he really has no shortage of training resources now.

Now I am suitable for hiding behind the scenes, not attracting other people's attention, and just relying on the resources at hand to develop slowly.

Even regarding the matter of refining the high-grade foundation-building pill, he asked Senior Qu to keep it a secret for him.

"Not participating?"

You Xing was shocked, "Fellow Daoist Chu, Xiyue Sect is very aggressive this time. There are five volumes of third-grade elixir prescriptions. No.1 can take three volumes. In addition, there is a second-grade earth fire, not to mention spiritual stones and medicinal materials." The most important thing is that there is also an alchemy furnace used by a fourth-grade alchemist."

"An alchemy furnace used by a fourth-grade alchemist?"

Chu Ning was a little shocked. She didn't expect Xiyue Sect to spend such a large amount of money.

He also knew why You Xing was so excited.

A fourth-level alchemist is already at the Nascent Soul realm. Needless to say, the quality of the alchemy furnace that can be used to make elixirs is, but what the alchemist values ​​more is the elixir charm contained in the alchemy furnace.

A monk uses a sword for a long time, even if it is an ordinary iron sword, its own spiritual energy will remain on it over time. If this sword falls into the hands of a mortal, it will be a sword that can exorcise evil spirits and control the house.

The alchemy furnace used by a fourth-level alchemist will leave the elixir charm of the fourth-level alchemist.

Danyun can improve the success rate and quality of alchemy.

The exact amount of improvement cannot be quantified.

But when the number increases, the changes are reflected.

If you use an ordinary alchemy furnace to refine a hundred furnaces of elixirs, and if you use an alchemy furnace with elixirs to refine a hundred furnaces of the same elixirs, the number of high-quality elixirs and finished elixirs in the latter far exceeds that of the former.

Even if the opportunity is good, you may be affected by the elixir and enter a state of enlightenment when refining the elixir. "It's indeed a good thing, but since I have the secret mirror as a plug-in, Danyun won't be of much help to me."

Chu Ning made a decision in her mind and said: "The rewards are indeed attractive, but I have reasons not to participate."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, can you tell me?" You Xing asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that if I participate in this alchemy master competition, I will ruin the Taoist aspirations of many fellow alchemists."

A long sigh.

Chu Ning stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue waves in the distance: "As an alchemist, Ning hopes that the alchemy path will flourish forever and a hundred flowers will bloom. If Ning participates in this competition, I am afraid that many fellow Taoists will be affected. , this is not what Ning wants to see."

There was an expression of emotion on You Xing's face. At this moment, Chu Ning's figure became extremely tall in his eyes.

is not that right?

I was almost beaten by Chu Ning and lost my desire to make alchemy.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is a great righteous man. You Xing would like to thank you, Daoist Friend Chu, on behalf of many alchemists. Please accept my respect."

After the ceremony, You Xing said sincerely: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, if I am lucky enough to get No. 1, the alchemy furnace will be given to Fellow Daoist Chu."

"There's no need for that."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, there is no need to refuse."

Chuning: ...

You Xing left with a beaten expression on his face, and Lao Hei sighed in Chu Ning's mind: "Poor baby, another one who was deceived and became lame."

……

……

In the following months, Chu Ning felt the enthusiasm of the alchemist competition held by Xiyue Sect.

Every time he went to Fangshi, he would hear the disciples of Hongri Peak discussing this matter. From these disciples, he learned that many alchemists had already arrived in Lanyue City outside.

"There are many alchemists coming this time, including several alchemists from Xuantian Sect."

"What are the alchemists of Xuantian Sect doing here? They also want to participate in this alchemist competition?"

"The Alchemy Furnace of the Fourth Grade Alchemist will be of interest to all alchemists. Not only Xuantian Sect, but also Liuhe Mountain and Wentian Sect."

"Hey, people from the three major sects are here, so this Alchemist Competition will definitely be unprecedentedly lively."

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed as he listened to these words.

During the year he stayed in Xiyue Sect, in addition to understanding the situation of Xiyue Sect, Chu Ning also learned about the external situation in the entire Hundred Cities area.

A hundred cities away, the four major sects are respected.

Xiyue Sect, Xuantian Sect, Liuhe Mountain and Wentianmen.

The four major sects all have Nascent Soul powerhouses in charge, and there are more than a dozen sects and dynasties under these four major sects. These forces are all dependent on the four major sects.

"Did Wentianmen also send someone here?"

"People from the Wentian Sect never leave their own territory. They also have alchemists who want to participate in this competition?"

"Then I don't know. I got this information from a senior sister. The specific senior sister didn't say much."

After listening to these conversations, Chu Ning planned to leave.

He didn't want to hear too much about the Alchemist Competition.

In his previous life, he heard a saying that the more you know about something, the more you will be pushed into the vortex of that matter.

The speaker used various theories to prove his statement.

What kind of being involved in it, what kind of quantum entanglement...

Although it was a bit mysterious, Chu Ning still recognized some of the other party's views.

Back in the cave, Chu Ning decided to go into seclusion for three years and wait until the alchemist competition was over before leaving.

But before Chu Ning started to retreat, a figure appeared outside the cave.

"Is Fellow Daoist Chu there?"

"Friend Dao Meng is a rare visitor to the cave."

Chu Ning walked out of the cave and was a little surprised to see Meng Sizeng's appearance. This man had never looked for him since he knew that he was Tang Xiaoniu's admirer. How could he appear again today?
"Fellow Daoist Chu, yesterday when I was mailing letters at Lanyue City Post Station, I found a letter from Fellow Daoist Chu. I think the people at Lanyue City Post Station didn't know that Fellow Daoist Chu was in Xiyue Sect, so they couldn't hand the letter over to Xiyue Sect. Fellow Daoist Chu."

Meng Si once explained the purpose of his visit. Many Xiyue Sect disciples' homes are not in Lanyue City, but in Xiyue Sect's territory. These disciples often write letters to their families, and they will also write if there is anything going on at home. send it here.

When Meng Sizeng went to pick up the letter yesterday, the manager of the inn asked him if there was Chu Ning in Xiyue Sect.

The manager of the inn was not the only one who specifically asked Meng Sizeng. He had asked more than a dozen Xiyue Sect disciples before, but none of these disciples knew who Chu Ning was.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Meng, for informing me."

Chu Ning thanked and sent Meng Siceng away, with a look of confusion on his face. Who would write to him?
Meng Sizeng did not collect the letter on his behalf. According to the deacon of the post station, the letter could only be collected in person. This was the request of the sender.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ning decided to get the letter.

Lanyue City has a strong Jindan expert from the Xiyue Sect, so there is no problem with safety.

After activating the chain formation on the edge of the small mountain peak, Chu Ning headed towards the mountain gate exit. This was the first time he stepped out of Xiyue Sect's mountain gate in more than a year.

Lanyue City is very lively.

Walking to the street, Chu Ning could clearly feel that there were more monks on the street than the last time he entered the city, especially the number of foundation-building monks.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning arrived at the inn in Lanyue City. After getting the jade slip, she frowned slightly when she saw the contents inside.

This letter is from Senior Brother Gu.

Silently withdrawing his consciousness from the jade slip, Chu Ning walked out of the inn with an expressionless face.

After leaving the inn, Chu Ning walked on the street and thought.

This is a letter asking for help, written by Senior Brother Gu to him.

Senior Brother Gu informed him of the situation in the Hundred Cities area in the letter, and asked that the disciples of the Jin Sect were being hunted by sects such as the Yinglong Sect and were in a very dangerous situation.

As the senior brother, Senior Brother Gu secretly gathered these disciples of Wen Jin Sect, but the problem now is that they dare not appear in Fang City. Many disciples were chased and suffered serious injuries, and they are in urgent need of some elixirs to heal their injuries.

This kind of elixir is difficult to buy in the market. The only way is to go to those alchemists to specially refine it. However, Senior Brother Gu cannot guarantee that the alchemist he is looking for will not betray them. For this reason, he can only write to himself to ask for help.

I hope I can refine and send them a batch of elixirs. There is a contact address at the end of the letter.

Chu Ning returned to Xiyue Sect's mountain gate with a sullen face. After Chu Ning's figure walked into the mountain gate, two figures a few hundred meters away also withdrew their gaze and raised the corners of their mouths slightly.

The bait has been put out, now it's time for Chu Ning to take the bait.

The two turned around and left, but what they didn't know was that not long after they left, Chu Ning's figure came out of the mountain gate again and chased them towards the route they left.
