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

Ji Yuanshan, backyard.

In the pavilion, several young people were telling each other interesting stories about their years as monks.

"I have become an inner disciple in the sect, and now I can receive a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill every three months."

"Brother Hua, you are still awesome. Although our sect is not divided into inner and outer disciples, it is divided into ordinary disciples and core disciples. I am still an ordinary disciple. It takes half a year to have a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill. It is not enough. I have to earn it myself. Go to Fangshi to buy spiritual stones."

These young people are all the leaders of the younger generation of the Ji family.

Since the blockade was lifted, many sects have entered the realm of Daliang and begun to recruit disciples.

The children of the Ji family never dared to think of a first-rate sect like the Twelve Sects. Their goal was a second- or third-rate sect.

Four members of the younger generation of the Ji family successfully joined the sect.

Now that the New Year is approaching, these four people have come back to celebrate the New Year, and they talk to each other about matters in the sect.

And as role models in the clan, when they wait until the last day of the year to open the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, these people will also receive rewards from the clan to motivate the younger generations.

"You can't go on stage at this year's ancestor worship ceremony. Do you regret it?"

In the small courtyard next to the pavilion, Ji Yuanshan looked at the young man standing tall and tall in front of him and asked.

"You know, you were at the forefront of the ancestor worship ceremonies in previous years. Even last year, you took the lead."

The position in the ancestor worship ceremony represents the prestige in the clan.

"I can't talk about regrets. This is my nephew's own choice. Without his master, my nephew would not be the first in this generation of the Ji family to break through to martial arts."

Ji Bannian smiled, he really had no regrets.

He still remembers what happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the world was still dominated by martial arts.

I remember what his uncle called him to the study the day before he left for school: Uncle has found a master for you!

He had never met his master, but when he was in school, he received pills from his uncle. These pills were sent by his master.

It was precisely because of those pills that he was able to become the fastest martial artist in the Ji family and the academy.

Breaking through as a martial artist allowed him to change his own destiny and the destiny of his family.

The uncle is very kind to him, but he is the leader of the clan and treats all the younger generations equally and will not give him any preferential treatment.

The reason why the master chose him as his apprentice back then was said by his uncle himself. It was not recommended by him, but the master chose him from among many cousins.

From that moment on, he recognized this master, even without meeting him.

But not long after he broke through to become a martial artist, the world changed drastically. Everyone knew that there were people who were cultivating immortals in this world. The so-called martial arts realm was the Qi Condensation realm of cultivating immortals.

His martial artist realm corresponds to the early stage of Qi Condensation.

At the early stage of Qi Condensation, when he was less than twenty years old, his talent attracted attention. Some sects came to him and asked him if he wanted to join, but he refused.

Because he has a master.

Even though he has never met the master, he doesn't even know his name.

Many tribesmen didn't understand why he refused such a good opportunity, but they were just confused at first. As several cousins ​​joined the sect in the past few years, some tribesmen turned from confusion to gloating.

Many tribesmen even secretly laughed at him because he deserved it, and passed up the opportunity to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect.

Faced with these words, he chose to laugh them off.

Although he does not have an entry sect, he has never given up training in these years, but he is still practicing martial arts. He has already reached the level of a seventh-level martial artist. If he gives himself another three years to enter the realm of a general, he will be in the middle stage of Qi Condensation.

Even if the military commander is despised by the monks, he is still a military commander.

"Half a year, your current age is not too old for a monk. If you have a foundation in martial arts, you can still join the sect."

Ji Yuanshan didn't know why his nephew was so insistent. For this reason, he often sighed in his heart. Chu Ning was really accurate in judging people.

Among the juniors at the time, Half Year was not the one with the best martial arts qualifications, but he knew the characters of these juniors. If Chu Ning had chosen someone else as his disciple, after so many years, he would have chosen to join another sect.

After listening to his uncle's words for half a year, Ji shook his head: "When I join a sect at this age, I am just an ordinary disciple. I am not as comfortable as a casual cultivator now."

"Having said that, there are many sects and many people to rely on. Your master has not been heard from for so many years. It is very likely that he encountered an accident and it is uncertain. My uncle suggested..."

"Brother Yuanshan, you must not curse people behind their backs."

Before Ji Yuanshan finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the yard. Ji Yuanshan and Ji were stunned for half a year, but they both reacted the next moment.

"Chun Ning!"

Ji Yuanshan couldn't help but roared out. Ji Bannian's eyes were shining. Is it his master who he has never met before?

So the name of his master is Chu Ning?

Ji Yuanshan's voice was full of anger, could he not be angry?

It was agreed that he would be his apprentice for half a year, but after delivering the elixir, he was never heard from again. How could he be a master like this?

"Ahem, Brother Yuanshan has a deep grudge against me."

The next moment, Chu Ning's figure appeared in front of the two of them. Ji Yuanshan's anger disappeared instantly when he saw Chu Ning appearing so suddenly.

Although the Ji family is only a small family, and he is only the patriarch of a small family, he also knows a little about things in the monk circle.

Being able to appear in front of him instantly, even the late-stage Qi Condensation monks can't do it, only the legendary foundation-building experts.

So Chu Ning has built a foundation?

Ji Yuanshan's eyes widened. He actually yelled at a foundation-building monk?

The most important thing is that Chu Ning is a strong foundation builder, so the half-year wait was worth it, no... it was super worth it.

Several other juniors in the clan joined only third-rate sects, and the entire sect could not find a single strong foundation-builder.

Chu Ning's eyes fell on Ji Bannian. He had heard the conversation between Ji Bannian and Ji Yuanshan just now. He was very satisfied with this disciple and changed his original mind.

Originally, Chu Ning came to the Ji family with the intention of ending the master-disciple relationship, because he thought that he had not shown up for so many years. Whether it was the Ji family or Ji Banni himself, in order to continue practicing, he would choose to become a disciple and join the sect. .

And he will give some compensation to the Ji family and Ji for half a year, which can be regarded as fulfilling the agreement back then.

Unexpectedly, Ji has not accepted anyone else as his teacher for half a year, waiting for his own master to appear.

This character and persistence moved him very much, and also made him change his original idea.

He decided to accept this disciple.

Facing Chu Ning's words, Ji Yuanshan didn't know how to answer for a moment. If Chu Ning was in the late stage of Qi Condensation, he would still have the courage to explain, but facing a strong foundation builder, he wouldn't even dare to defend himself.

"After this new year, go to the city to find your master. This thing can be regarded as a meeting gift from your master."

Chu Ning turned his hand, and a small drum appeared in his hand. This was a high-grade magic weapon. With his current state of half a year, he could exert 30% of the power of this small drum. Even if it was not as good as other early Qi Condensation monks who had mastered the technique, with this Drums can also be invincible.

Chu Ning's figure disappeared on the spot. If he hadn't seen the drum in his hand, Ji Yuanshan would have doubted whether everything just happened was a dream.

After all, Chu Ning is a strong foundation builder, so this is like a dream.

"You will still take the lead in this year's ancestor worship ceremony for the younger generation." Ji Yuanshan patted Half Year's shoulder excitedly.

He is the clan leader and has absolute power in personnel arrangements, but he also has to take care of the emotions of other clan members. He cannot be partial to others for half a year, otherwise the whole family will lose their support.

But now he is not worried about the clan members being dissatisfied and gossiping. He does not need to tell the clan members that he has been a master of the foundation-building master for half a year. He only needs to tell the clan members that this drum was given by the master for half a year, and the clan members will not have any objections.

…

…

Daning County, old houses in alleys.

Some old people had a look of surprise on their faces when they saw the courtyard door that had been closed for a long time open, and then saw Chu Ning walking out of it.

"Is...is it Mr. Chu?" An old man asked uncertainly.

"Uncle Wang, you should call me Xiao Ning. I'm not used to calling you an adult."

Chu Ning's words were an admission, and the whole alley became lively for a while. Even though Chu Ning had left for more than ten years, in the eyes of these neighbors, he was still a name that they remembered deeply.

This is the most powerful big shot in their alley.

Chu Ning returned to the home he remembered with his old aunt in Daning County. Next, he planned to stay in Daning County for a while, and then go to Riyue Mountain to find Tang Xiaoniu.

Although Chu Ning's attitude is very kind, the neighbors are still a little cautious. They don't know what Chu Ning's status is now, but they know that this house will be cleaned every half month by people from the Sanzhu Gang, and sometimes from the Sanzhu Gang. The gang leader came to clean it himself.

The leader of the Sanzhu Gang is already a big shot in the eyes of these neighbors.

The news of Chu Ning's return spread quickly in Daning County. What Chu Ning didn't expect was that there would be visitors at home for several days in a row.

All the head catchers who had some friendship with him when he was in the patrol room came here, even Gan Qiao, who had some conflicts with Chu Ning at the beginning, also came.

When I met Gan Qiao again, he was already very old and accompanied by a young man who was Gan Qiao's grandson.

Gan Qiao kept asking his grandson to call him Grandpa Chu, but unfortunately his grandson was too embarrassed to shout out. Gan Qiao was so angry that he was about to beat him down with his cane, but was stopped by Chu Ning.

Seeing Gan Qiao leaving with his grandson in despair, Chu Ning's mood didn't change much.

Gan Qiao came here because he heard other arresters visiting him and bringing their juniors with them. He gave them a gift in return. The gift he received in return was Qi Condensing Pills. Although there were only three pills, in Daning County, one pill was enough. Extremely precious.

Although the grudge between himself and Gan Qiao was resolved by Gan Qiao's submission and gifts, Chu Ning still did not regard Gan Qiao as a friend.

A Qi-Condensing Pill is nothing to him, but he is not the Holy Mother. Maybe after a thousand years or something, he may give such a Qi-Condensing Pill to the descendants of Gan Qiao again.

Until the last day of the new year, with no guests coming, Chu Ning also left Daning County and headed to the prefecture city. He was going to spend this new year with his teacher.

"There are guests at the teacher's house."

When Chu Ning arrived at the teacher's house, he found that the teacher was drinking tea with a middle-aged man, and a young man stood beside him.

The boy's face resembled the teacher's.

"Ji'an is back too."

Chu Ning said hello with a smile, Liu Jian's eyes had a trace of confusion, calling him father and teacher, could it be that his mother said that his father's only disciple Chu Ning?

But the appearance and age don't match up.

This made him not know how to answer for a moment.

However, when the middle-aged man who was sitting and drinking tea saw Chu Ning walking in, he instantly stood up from his chair with a nervous look on his face: "I've seen you, senior."

Liu Jian was even more confused when he saw his master suddenly stood up with a reserved expression. He felt that his brain was not full.

This man calls him father and teacher, and his master calls this senior...

"Chun Ning is here. This is Ji'an's master Li An, the great elder of Shangyun Sect."

Liu Junshan saw Chu Ning coming in and introduced the identity of the middle-aged man to Chu Ning. Chu Ning had heard from his teacher before that Ji'an had joined the Shangyun Sect.

Seeing Ji'an's confused look, Chu Ning smiled inwardly. Not to mention that this little guy was confused, he was also confused by these names.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that your realm has improved too quickly.

Originally, it was not a big problem to judge seniority based on strength in the monk circle, because everyone cultivated step by step, and it was rare for someone who had practiced for ten years to practice for more than a hundred years, so the seniority was generally not too chaotic.

"Teacher shall prevail. Fellow Daoist Li, you and I should still refer to each other as fellow Daoists."

Chu Ning was a little helpless and asked Li An to regard himself and Ji An as the same generation. If Li An didn't dare to say it, he could only use this snake oil method to solve it.

Seniority is not the same, Taoist friends can solve it.

"How can that be done? Senior Chu is a strong foundation-builder." Li An was a little frightened. This is a big shot who can kill the late-stage foundation-builder.

"Fellow Daoist Li, just follow what Chu Ning said, otherwise it will only become more chaotic."

Liu Junshan also lightly covered his forehead, because he also discovered the issue of seniority.

The reason why Ji'an agreed to join the Shangyun Sect was not only because of the reputation of the Shangyun Sect, but also to hide the existence of Chu Ning as a disciple.

From the head of the Shangyun Sect, he learned that Chu Ning was asking about some things in Jincheng.

Based on his understanding of his disciples, Chu Ning is not someone who likes to be in the limelight. Anyone who is as beautiful as Lin Feng will destroy them. This is what his disciples often say.

In the alchemist competition, given the character of his disciple, he would not win the first place at all. To finish in the top ten would be considered a risk in the eyes of his disciple.

Therefore, his disciple must have a last resort to do this. The most likely reason is that there is a powerful enemy, forcing him to show his talent and win the favor of the powerful Jindan to solve the crisis.

If the other party can't deal with Chu Ning, they might start with the people around Chu Ning, and as a teacher who is not as good as his disciple, he is the best target for the other party.

Back then, the Shangyun Sect suddenly chose to befriend the Chen family and befriend themselves. The other two sects would definitely investigate and letting Ji'an join the Shangyun Sect would make these two sects think that the Shangyun Sect discovered Ji'an's talent for cultivation. make that decision.

Listening to his master's words, Liu Jian's mouth opened slightly. He suddenly found that a question that had troubled him for a long time since he joined the sect was answered.

Please give me a monthly pass, the double period is running out, one is worth three, for the sake of Jiudeng still writing at three o'clock, I love you, okay?
