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

The tree demon's eyes were like torches, staring at Chu Ning with expectation.

Chu Ning only thought for a few breaths before nodding and admitting.

"yes!"

He would admit it, not because he trusted the tree demon, but because he knew that when the tree demon asked this question, it was more to verify his guess than to get the answer.

This tree demon probably guessed that he had practiced the Immovable Mountain Technique, but just wanted to get confirmation from himself.

There is little meaning in denying it yourself, nor can it dispel the other party's speculation.

And looking at the expression on the tree demon's face, Chu Ning had a hunch that the other party was not trying to harm him.

Seeing Chu Ning nod and admit, the old tree demon's face had obvious mood swings, and even the surrounding trees and vines shook a few times.

"I pay my respects to Shanzi."

The tree demon bowed respectfully to Chu Ning: "If you can practice the Immovable Mountain Technique and nurture mountain peaks, you will be a disciple of the Shan Sect. The Shan Sect has a great favor to my grass and tree clan..."

Seemingly seeing Chu Ning's doubts, the tree demon explained to Chu Ning.

After listening to the dryad's explanation, Chu Ning understood what was going on.

The Shan Sect built a mountain peak and released the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not only the monks, but also the grass and tree spirits and monsters benefited, especially the grass and tree clan.

Plants and trees grow in mountains.

The richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the greater the benefits.

The ancestor of the tree demon clan was originally an ordinary tree vine. Thanks to the mountain sect's favor in establishing the mountain, he was able to absorb spiritual energy and become a spirit.

The ancestor of the tree demon, but has a grateful heart to the mountain sect.

When you meet a disciple of the Shan Sect, you should show respect to the master.

This bloodline memory has been passed down to the tree demon generation.

"Mother-in-law, where are the people from the Shan Sect? And after practicing the Immovable Mountain Technique, am I considered a disciple of the Shan Sect?"

"Shanzi's doubts are also my doubts. There are no memories passed down by our ancestors, and there is no memory of Shanzong's disappearance. This is a mystery, and we can only rely on Shanzi to find the answer."

The tree demon smiled bitterly, and then continued: "As for the Immovable Mountain Technique, its original name was the Transforming Mountain Technique, and this technique originated from Great Will."

Chu Ning saluted and said seriously: "Please ask my mother-in-law to elaborate."

"Shanzi doesn't have to be like this. I should tell you everything I know and try my best to clear up Shanzi's doubts."

The tree demon quickly dodged away, as if he couldn't bear Chu Ning's salute, and said: "Shan Sect never actively recruits disciples. If you want to become a disciple of Shan Sect, the only way is to build a mountain peak."

"If you agree with the purpose of the Shan Sect and make great wishes, you can summon the Mountain Gate, obtain the Mountain Transformation Secret, and transform the mountain. However, since the disciples of the Shan Sect disappeared, future generations have never been able to summon the Mountain Gate. As time goes by, about the Mountain Transformation Secret The news of Jue was lost in the long river of time."

"The reason why I know that the Immovable Mountain Jue is the Mountain Transformation Jue is because my ancestors met a monk who practiced the Immovable Mountain Jue. Unfortunately, that monk failed. According to what the monk said, without the help of the mountain gate, the newcomers I can no longer practice successfully, but I don’t know the reason, and Shanzi should know the reason better than me.”

Listening to the words of the tree demon, Chu Ning thought of his own practice of the Immovable Mountain Art.

If it weren't for the energy of the Immortality Fruit, he would never have been able to evolve that mountain peak, and he would not have been able to cultivate the Immovable Mountain Technique.

Chu Ning now has a rough idea of ​​how terrifying the energy of the longevity fruit is. This energy can at least be compared to that of a strong Nascent Soul.

This also means that to practice the Immovable Mountain Technique, you need at least Nascent Soul level spiritual power.

Not to mention whether there are strong Yuanying masters secretly in the Baicheng area, even if there are, it is impossible for these strong Nascent Soul masters to abandon their skills and practice again.

No wonder other monks can't practice the Immovable Mountain Technique, because the prerequisites for practice have already excluded these monks.

"The reason why I suspect that Shanzi has practiced the Immovable Mountain Technique is because anyone who practices the Immovable Mountain Technique will have a close and favorable impression on the Baicheng Caomu Clan."

The last words of the tree demon completely solved Chu Ning's confusion. In fact, it was equivalent to an alternative form of "blood" connection.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for clearing up the confusion."

Chu Ning expressed his gratitude. The tree demon solved many confusions for him. The only thing he still doesn't understand is how Shan Zong disappeared mysteriously.

"Shanzi is welcome. The ancestors of our clan have told us that if future generations of clan members encounter Shanzi, they should treat him as their lord."

The tree demon pondered for a moment and said: "I dare to ask Shanzi, are you going to save Gu Fanzhou next?"

This time, it was Chu Ning's turn to be silent.

Save Senior Brother Gu?

Can Senior Brother Gu be saved by himself under the control of the powerful Jin Dan?

But Senior Brother Gu is really interested in him. Not to mention some of the care he gave to him, even if he was controlled by these powerful golden elixirs and didn't confess himself, he couldn't stand idly by.

"Does mother-in-law have any good ideas?"

Chu Ning looked at the tree demon. Since the other party would ask this, he must have an idea.

"If Shanzi needs to be saved, I can lend a helping hand. Although I am in ruins now, I can come and go freely. When the day Wenjin Mountain opens, the attention of these golden elixir masters will be diverted, and they will be able to use their own magical powers to kill Gu Fanzhou. Get rescued.”

"Will it cause harm to my mother-in-law?"

If the attention of those powerful Jindan people is diverted, it will not be so easy to save people.

"My clan has magical powers that can block the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness. I appear from the ground and disappear from the ground again. Those powerful golden elixirs can't do anything."

Listening to the tree demon's words, Chu Ning understood what the tree demon's plan was.

Relying on the magical power of isolating spiritual consciousness, he sneaked into Wenjin City secretly, then emerged from the ground to wrap up Senior Brother Gu, and escaped by escaping underground.

As long as the divine consciousness cannot lock it, those powerful golden elixirs cannot track it.

"What can I do if you need me?"

"Shanzi doesn't need to act."

Chu Ning was silent, which meant that he did not need to take risks when it came to rescuing Senior Brother Gu. Everything would be handled by the tree demon.

If an accident occurs, it will not pose a threat to him.

This is the best choice, but Chu Ning cannot say anything like this. There is no kindness between him and the tree demon. The tree demon is willing to help him rescue Senior Brother Gu just because he has practiced the Immovable Mountain Technique. .

"Shan Zi, there is no need to be embarrassed. This is what our ancestors have taught us. All members of our clan must respect Shan Zi and obey Shan Zi's orders. If the owner of Shan Zi really feels sorry for him, he might as well take care of Ruo Bing in the future."

"good."

Chu Ning agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Thank you Shanzi."

The tree demon saluted Chu Ning, raised his hand, and the tree vine wrapping the two of them fell back to the ground and disappeared.

Xu Ruobing also came back when the tree vine disappeared.

"Ruobing, entertain Mr. Chu well." The tree demon smiled lovingly at Xu Ruobing, and then excused himself to Chu Ning: "I'll go get ready first."

Xu Ruobing watched the tree demon disappear, staring at Chu Ning curiously. She didn't know what her mother-in-law was talking about with Chu Ning, but she had an intuition that her mother-in-law seemed to have some respect for Chu Ning.

This made her very puzzled. Even her mother-in-law ignored her father, a late-stage Jindan powerhouse. How could Chu Ning be respected by her mother-in-law so much?

"Master Chu, please."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have something to cover up? I don't want to reveal my identity."

Xu Ruobing was silent for a breath, and silently took out another flying spiritual weapon, a pink flying boat.

Chu Ning:......

Xu Ruobing felt Chu Ning's eyes, and her pretty face blushed slightly: "This was a gift from my father after I established the foundation. I have never used it."

"oh."

Hearing Chu Ning's "Oh", Xu Ruobing felt the urge to beat this man for some reason.

The pink flying boat was launched by Xu Ruobing and began to grow in size. After Chu Ning stepped on it, looking at the same pink color inside, she felt a little embarrassed for the first time.

"Young Taoist Xu is very good at keeping your girlish heart."

After holding it in for a long time, Chu Ning choked out such a sentence, but received a cold look from Xu Ruobing.

This man didn't speak, and no one thought he was mute.

The flying boat landed directly at the Xu family. Several foundation-building monks from the Xu family had looks of surprise on their faces when they saw the pink flying boat.

If I remember correctly, this flying boat seems to have been given by the family owner when the eldest lady was building the foundation, but the eldest lady has never taken it out and used it.

what is it today?

"No one will disturb you here. I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

Xu Ruobing placed Chu Ning in a yard and left in a hurry. Chu Ning's mouth twitched, did she dislike her so much?

…

…

After Xu Ruobing left, she went directly to the courtyard where she had taken Chu Ning, and the tree demon was already waiting there.

"Mother-in-law."

"I know what you want to ask, but my mother-in-law can only tell you. I can't tell you this. Mr. Chu has some ancestral relationship with my mother-in-law."

The tree demon knew what Xu Ruobing was going to ask and didn't give her a chance to ask.

"Is the mother-in-law going to help Chu Ning save Gu Fanzhou?"

Now that the disciples of Jinzong are being targeted, if Chu Ning had not wanted to save Gu Fanzhou, the best choice would have been to fly away, but Chu Ning stayed, so he could only prepare to save Gu Fanzhou.

"Um."

"Mother-in-law, Gu Fanzhou is currently being targeted by at least ten golden elixir experts..."

"Ruobing."

The tree demon interrupted Xu Ruobing again: "There are some things that you can't know yet. My mother-in-law just hopes that you can remember one thing. Unless Mr. Chu does something that will make people jealous, my mother-in-law hopes that you will always stand by Mr. Chu. One end."

Xu Ruobing was shocked, and her red mouth opened slightly.

"What does mother-in-law mean by this? Chu Ning has a big background? If he had a big background, how could he become Dannu in the first place?"

"Just remember what your mother-in-law said."

The tree demon didn't explain too much. The monks from Hundred Cities didn't have any big background. The only big background was the original Shan Sect. Unfortunately, the Shan Sect disappeared mysteriously.

Xu Ruobing didn't ask any more questions. She knew her mother-in-law's temperament and had already talked about it to this extent, so she couldn't find anything out if she asked again.

"Ruobing remembers it, but Ruobing still hopes that her mother-in-law will think twice."

The tree demon smiled calmly: "My mother-in-law failed to survive the tribulation. She has only been alive for a few years, so there is nothing to think twice about."

Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Xu Ruobing also looked sad.

…

…

One month later.

The entire atmosphere in Wenjin City suddenly became heated.

Wen Jinshan's spiritual energy used to have spiritual storms every hour, but now it has slowly been reduced to once every three hours.

According to the judgment of a strong Jindan expert, within three days at most, the spiritual storm would become twice a day, and that time would be the time to enter Wenjin Mountain.

It is impossible to completely stop the spiritual storm, but twice a day can give everyone enough time to escape.

At that time, the Qi Condensing monks can enter first and gain the opportunity to build the foundation.

Foundation-building and Golden Core monks, because of their own spiritual energy, if they step in now, they will feel the spiritual violence, resulting in a spiritual violent frenzy, so they cannot enter yet.

Three days later.

There was light blooming in Wenjin Mountain, and at the same time, it started to drizzle in the sky above Wenjin City.

Autumn rain is so sad.

The monks in Wenjin City felt inexplicably sad in their hearts, but the monks from other cities had their eyes shining at this moment, staring at Wenjin Mountain.

The autumn rain soothed the whistling spiritual energy on Wenjin Mountain.

The moment the light receded, thousands of Qi Condensing monks, mostly in the late stage of Qi Condensing, frantically headed toward Wenjin Mountain.

Those strong golden elixirs did not stop these Qi-Condensing monks from entering. Firstly, there were too many Qi-Condensing monks, and some of them were disciples of their own forces and it was difficult to stop them. Secondly, after the Qi-Condensing monks entered, they could only obtain the building The opportunity to build a foundation is lower than that of those who are strong in the golden elixir. They still look down on the opportunity to build a foundation.

Ask Jinshan, although it is a peak, the area of ​​the whole mountain is actually not small. It takes two hours to build the foundation state from the top to the bottom of the mountain. Otherwise, Gu Fanzhou would not have put the meeting halfway up the mountain.

The area of ​​Jinshan Mountain is as big as three Raozhous.

In the sky above Jin City, many golden elixir masters were standing on various flying spiritual weapons, including gourds, pedals, and even carriages pulled by spiritual horses.

Those who dare to be so arrogant are all powerful people in the late Golden Core stage, and they are all famous people.

"Looking at the actions of these Qi Condensing juniors, I also thought of the real narrow escape from death when I entered the Qi Condensing Realm in pursuit of foundation building."

The old man sitting on the gourd suddenly sighed, and a response came from the carriage not far away.

"On the road to cultivating immortality, you have to strive for opportunities by yourself. Who among us has not come this way?"

These golden elixir masters were communicating as if there was no one around, but their voices could not be transmitted below. At this moment, at a slightly lower altitude, many foundation-building monks were also communicating, and the contents were similar.

It feels quite like college students and high school students watching junior high school students take the high school entrance examination.

On Wenjin Mountain, after the thousands of Qi Condensing cultivators poured in, their speed suddenly dropped. Those who originally used flying spiritual weapons to fly into the mountain also fell to the ground in an instant.

But there are also a small group of monks who are not affected and their speed is still maintained.

"This is the different treatment between the monks in Jincheng and the monks from outside. The monks in Jincheng will not be affected, but the outside monks will have their strength suppressed."

The shopkeeper of the Yang family who was watching from the outside slowly spoke slowly, and some of the monks in the city who had not entered Wenjin Mountain had happy expressions on their faces.

They didn't go in because they were only in the early and middle stages of Qi Condensation, and the possibility of snatching the opportunity to build a foundation among so many late-stage Qi Condensation monks was not high.

But they naturally hope that the monks in this city will get the opportunity. At this moment, the monks in this city will naturally become two opposing groups with the outside monks.

High in the sky, a golden elixir expert snorted coldly, formed a seal with his hands, and a bronze mirror flew out and landed in the air a hundred meters away from Wenjin Mountain.

The mirror is suspended in mid-air, and its area continues to grow. All monks, even Qi Condensation monks, can see the scene revealed in the mirror, which is exactly the scene in Wenjin Mountain at this moment.

This mirror covers the entire side facing Wenjin Mountain, and can magnify a certain scene at any time.

"Ask the monks in this city, every move you make is under the eyes of me and others. If you dare to attack our sect disciples, you will be punished when you come out!"

The voice of the powerful Jindan man spread throughout the city and also reached Wenjin Mountain.

call out!

Suddenly there was light shining at the golden elixir strongman in Wenjin Mountain. The light arrived in the blink of an eye. The golden elixir strongman's complexion changed and he immediately stepped back, but it was still a step too late.

When the light hit, the golden elixir expert let out a muffled groan, and he fell directly from the sky. He was about to fall to the ground before he stabilized.

At the same time, a transparent spiritual energy mask appeared around the entire Wenjin Mountain.

The light shield was formed, and the power of the mountain was still there, and even the powerful Jindan people did not dare to enter by force.

"What an idiot. Although Jinshan's lifespan has come to an end, the mountain's power has not completely dissipated. It's good to be able to survive by provoking the mountain's power like this."

The old man sitting on the gourd sneered.

"In the early stage of the Golden elixir, I'm afraid I don't know some of the inside stories, but this mirror is a good thing, and it will be convenient for me to watch."

These late-stage Golden Elixir masters seemed to have anticipated this scene. If Wen Jinshan's power was not still there, they would not have dared to go too far and would have monopolized Wen Jin Mountain.

"It can be considered a good thing. At least these monks in Jincheng have heard it and don't dare to be too cruel to the outside monks."

…

On Wenjin Mountain, the foreign monks who originally had panic expressions on their faces because their spiritual power was suppressed to a small level, when they heard the voice of the golden elixir expert, their panic expression became much less intense.

But the monk from Wenjin City who had a look of joy on his face turned ugly.

Fight for opportunities.

If there is a fight, then a battle will definitely break out. If you are tied up, how can you win over others?

This is the tragedy of Wenjin City now that there is no strong Jindan person in charge.

At this moment, these monks in Wenjin City miss the golden elixir master of Wenjin Sect very much in their hearts. Even if they pay high rent to Wenjin Sect every year, at least they will not be bullied like this.

Boom!

Under this complicated situation, a voice came from the top of the mountain, and everyone felt a wave of spiritual energy falling down like a tide.

This tide-like aura is mixed with various light groups.

This is a spiritual tide, but it is not violent, and these light groups represent various techniques, treasures, and even the Tao fruits of the foundation-building monks during their lifetime.

As the leader tide came, a group of light exuding two colors attracted the attention of many monks.

Daoguo!

Only Dao Fruit has multiple rays of light, while other techniques and treasures have only one color.

Dao Fruit is comparable to the Foundation Building Pill.

The difference is that after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, the foundation can be established within one year after digestion, while the Dao Fruit requires refining all the energy in the Dao Fruit to successfully build the Foundation.

It may take five or even ten years, but for these late-stage Qi Condensation monks, time is not a problem.

call out!

Several late-stage Qi Condensation monks headed towards this two-color light group.

"This Dao Fruit belongs to me!"

"Go away, this Dao Fruit is mine!"

The Dao Fruit was snatched by an old man in the late stage of Qi Condensation, but then four waves of energy attacked, and the old man quickly took out a paper umbrella.

The paper umbrella instantly collapsed under the attacks of the four late stage Qi Condensers, but the old man took this opportunity to move tens of meters away.

Unfortunately, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, two rays of light came towards him.

boom!

Two flying swords came at him, and the old man dodged one, but the second flying sword shot through his chest.

Dao Guo let go, and the old man fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness.

The middle-aged man who took action caught the Dao Fruit, reached out and crushed a talisman, and his whole body turned into a line of blood and flew away quickly.

boom!

A big bell was ready to cover it a thousand meters away.

The four late-stage Qi Condensation monks who had previously been chasing the old man also arrived.

A melee broke out.

And this scene is just a microcosm of the many areas in Wenjin Mountain at this moment.

In order to compete for skills, treasures, and precious Tao fruits, these late-stage Qi Condensation monks were like crazy.

Especially the Dao Fruit, no one can keep it after snatching it.

Dao Fruit cannot be swallowed directly, it can only be refined. In this case, no one can calm down and sit cross-legged to refine Dao Fruit.

Many low-level monks in the city saw the fierce battle inside through the mirror, and many of them turned pale.

These are all the high-level monks of the Qi Condensation Realm they originally wanted to look up to, but now these people are like grass and grass. Their lives are so fragile that almost one person dies every ten breaths.

The Foundation-Building monks in the air and those strong Golden Core men also had complicated expressions at this moment. They expected that this competition for opportunities would be fierce, but they did not expect it to be so fierce.

The fight among these Qi Condensing monks at the moment will soon be theirs.

In terms of number, they are much smaller than the Qi Condensation monks, but the competition for opportunities will only become more intense.

And just when everyone was focusing on the fight in Wenjin Mountain, in a manor in Wenjin City, Gu Fanzhou was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with formations blocking him around him.
