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

The sky above Lanyue City.

A three-legged golden furnace is suspended in the air.

The entire alchemy furnace's appearance shines with brilliant light in all directions, and the furnace body is covered with talismans, engraved with mysterious spells.

Even if it is suspended a hundred meters above the ground, you can still feel the terrifying high temperature it emits, making people afraid to approach it.

You can feel the high temperature from a hundred meters away. You can imagine how high the temperature is inside this alchemy furnace.

And under such high temperature, at the top of the alchemy furnace, stood an old man wearing a rich dress with gold trim, and behind the old man stood a young man.

"It's Senior Dan Shengzi!"

"The most powerful ones in the late Golden Elixir realm are third-grade alchemists."

Many monks on the street had expressions of envy and awe on their faces. Chu Ning did not expect that the first big man he met in Lanyue City would be a third-grade alchemist.

Really majestic.

"Old Hei, when one day I become a third-grade alchemist, I will also build an alchemy furnace and use it as a flying spiritual weapon."

"Why, you still want the entire alchemy furnace to shuttle underground." Lao Hei ruthlessly broke the story.

Chu Ning:......

"Senior Dan, please!"

There was a response from the sky above Lanyue City. The next moment, the magnificent alchemy furnace roared towards the mountains ahead, leaving behind many voices of discussion at the scene.

"Why do you think Senior Dan is coming to Xiyue Sect at this time?"

"Maybe an elder from the Xiyue Sect wants to ask Senior Dan to make elixirs."

"Shit, if the elders of the Xiyue Sect ask Senior Dan to make elixirs, then the elders will come to the door. Didn't you hear that Senior Dan called to worship the mountain?"

"Then what could it be? You act like you know it."

"I really know that my uncle is an inner disciple of Xiyue Sect."

Chu Ning, who was originally going to find the Xiyue Sect disciples, heard these words. Although his steps did not slow down, his spiritual consciousness was paying attention.

Everyone has curiosity.

"Did you notice the young man on the alchemy furnace? He should be Dan Shengzi's disciple. If I guessed correctly, Dan Shengzi should have come to propose marriage to a female disciple of Xiyue Sect on behalf of his disciple..."

After hearing this, Chu Ning withdrew his consciousness. He was sure that this person was talking nonsense.

Proposal for marriage is definitely not a door-to-door approach.

It is even more impossible not to say hello in advance. Both Xiyue Sect and this senior Dan want to save face.

In Lanyue City, Chu Ning did not fully spread his spiritual consciousness. There was an unwritten rule in the monk circle. If he fully released his spiritual consciousness in the city, it would be a provocation to the managers of the city.

After asking a monk on the way about Xiyue Sect's stronghold in this city, Chu Ning learned that Lanyue City was built on the mountain, and behind the city gate was the entrance to Xiyue Sect.

Along the way, Chu Ning was in no hurry and took three hours to reach the rear of Lanyue City.

By now, the number of people was already sparse, but there were more female cultivators.

Ninety percent of Xiyue Sect are female cultivators, and less than ten percent are male cultivators. This is what Chu Ning knew before coming here.

The female cultivators who were approaching looked at Chu Ning curiously. Chu Ning nodded with a smile and passed each other.

"This guy is pretty good. He looks young and pretty good-looking. Which senior sister do you think he is here for?"

"I don't know which senior sister I'm looking for, but I guess there's no chance."

"Why, you guys have fallen in love with this male cultivator. If the senior sister doesn't want him, are you going to take advantage of him?"

…

Several female cultivators joked in a low voice, and Chu Ning's mouth twitched when she heard it. So, do many male cultivators come to Lanyue City every day to woo but are rejected?

Soon, Chu Ning saw the courting male cultivators in the eyes of these female cultivators.

At the entrance of Xiyue Sect, several male cultivators were standing there, some were wandering, some were looking down in thought, and some were raising their heads in anticipation of heading towards the entrance of the sect.

Chu Ning was sure that these male cultivators were here to court. The reason was very simple. These men exuded a strong hormonal aura, and looked very much like the boys who were waiting downstairs in the girls' dormitory when he was in college.

There is an octagonal pavilion at the entrance. Three female cultivators are sitting in the pavilion at the moment, one in the early stage of foundation building and two in the late stage of Qi condensation.

Seeing Chu Ning walking straight over, these male cultivators all turned their eyes towards him.

"If I want to see a certain senior sister, I will need one hundred spirit stones to deliver a message and two hundred spirit stones to deliver a letter." Before Chu Ning could approach, a monk in the pavilion who was in the late stage of Qi Condensation immediately spoke.

One hundred spirit stones and a message?

Even Chu Ning, who was rich and wealthy, was a little stunned. Sure enough, the money from licking dogs was the best to make.

"Shuang'er, don't be unreasonable."

The female foundation-building cultivator scolded, stood up from the pavilion, and looked at Chu Ning: "Senior, is there something wrong?"

Li Yao couldn't see through the realm of the person in front of him, which was at least the middle stage of foundation building. If he could reach the middle stage of foundation building, he would have to practice for at least a hundred years, unless he was a genius like Junior Sister Tang.

But Junior Sister Tang is a disciple trained with all the strength of the sect, so it is naturally different. The only ones who can compare with Junior Sister Tang are those talented disciples from other sects.

A monk who has been practicing for hundreds of years will naturally not wait here for a certain junior sister on the mountain like those young people.

"Well, I wonder if your noble sect Tang Ruowei is here?"

"Junior Sister Tang?"

Li Yao's expression became serious: "Who is your Excellency?"

The two female cultivators who were in the late stage of Qi Condensation next to them all looked over with curiosity when they heard this.

"This is Chu Ning."

Chu Ning smiled, but the next moment he was a little confused.

Because in his imagination, after he said his name, the expressions of the Xiyue Sect disciples should be shocked and questioning.

Since Tang Ruowei is already the chief disciple of Xiyue Sect, as Tang Ruowei's fiancé, the female disciples of Xiyue Sect should naturally have heard of her name.

Now that I saw myself, my first reaction was shock.

Of course, according to the general plot trend, the disciples of Xiyue Sect will feel that they are not worthy of Tang Ruowei, have doubts about themselves, and maybe even one or two will pop up to look for trouble.

Chu Ning thought about how to deal with someone looking for trouble.

But he just didn't expect this reaction.

The three female cultivators from the Xiyue Sect had puzzled expressions after hearing their own names, just like hearing the name of a stranger.

"Senior Chu, are you and Junior Sister Tang old acquaintances?" Li Yao asked uncertainly.

"?"

So the disciples of Xiyue Sect don’t know about their relationship with Tang Ruowei, or that they are Tang Ruowei’s personally acknowledged fiancé?

Just when Chu Ning was about to answer, a figure came behind him with a sword and stopped behind him.

"Senior Sister Yao."

The two female cultivators in the late stage of Qi Condensation immediately greeted them respectfully.

"Junior sister Yao is back." Li Yao also said with a smile.

Chu Ning turned around and looked at the woman in black, but she murmured in her heart. By such a coincidence, the woman who took the blame for him appeared.

Yao Xin glanced at Chu Ning. She felt that there was something strange in the way the other person looked at her, but when she took a closer look, she found that the other person's expression had returned to calm.

"This person and Junior Sister Tang are indeed old acquaintances. I will bring him into the sect."

"Okay." Li Yao nodded.

"Chu... Fellow Daoist Chu, follow me."

Yao Xin led the way. Chu Ning smiled slightly at Li Yao and the other two female cultivators, followed Yao Xin and entered the mountain gate of Xiyue Sect.

The moment he stepped into the entrance of the sect, Chu Ning clearly felt a wave of energy sweeping through his body, and even the spiritual liquid in his Dantian fluctuated.

"This is our sect's mountain-protecting formation. Any outsider who enters the mountain gate for the first time will be scanned by the formation."

Yao Xin saw Chu Ning's figure stagnant for a moment and opened her mouth to explain.

"As expected of a big sect, he's just awesome." Chu Ning flattered him.

Now that I entered the mountain gate and looked around, the scene I saw was completely different from what I saw outside the mountain gate.

Outside the mountain gate, you can only see the mountains rising from a distance, the bells and spirits are beautiful, and the aura is permeated. It must be a resort for spiritual practice.

But now after entering the mountain gate, one can see the endless rolling hills and mountains. The first thing that catches the eye is the towering mountain cliff, with the waterfall falling down the river, making the sound vibrate in all directions.

Yao Xin summoned the flying sword again and headed towards the waterfall, and Chu Ning quickly followed.

Passing through the waterfall, there is another scenery.

The sea of ​​clouds is rising, the aura is lingering, and there are many mountain peaks. Many of them are towering green pines and green bamboos, flying in the sky, and the melodious chirping of birds can be heard all the way, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.

Among these peaks, one of them caught Chu Ning's attention the most.

A crescent-shaped mountain peak stands among the peaks, and the surrounding peaks surround it like stars over the moon.

"This is the main peak of our Xiyue Sect, Xiyue Peak, which is also known as Moon Peak by the outside world." Yao Xin saw the mountain peak Chu Ning was looking at and introduced it from the side.

"What a marvelous craftsmanship, what about Ri Feng?"

Riyue Mountain is definitely not Xiyue Peak. There should be a corresponding peak related to the sun.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's look down Xiyue Peak."

Chu Ning's eyes dropped, and the corner of his mouth twitched at the next moment: "Yao Yaoyou is saying that the short peak like a ball is the Sun Peak?"

"To be precise, it's called Red Sun Peak. All the male cultivators of Xiyue Sect practice on this peak."

"?"

Seeing the Red Sun Peak, Chu Ning could already imagine how low the status of Xiyue Sect's male cultivators was.

There is no great emperor in the human race.

Yao Xin noticed the emotional expression on Chu Ning's face out of the corner of her eye, and wondered what was so emotional about it.

She was quite curious about Chu Ning.

The other party was in the middle stage of foundation building. Logically, she should call him senior like Senior Sister Li, but she knew Chu Ning's true age from Junior Sister Tang. He was not as old as herself, so she didn't have the nerve to call him Senior.

In fact, when she heard the name "Chun Ning" before her sword was flying, and then saw Chu Ning, she was deeply shocked.

She knew very early on that Junior Sister Tang had someone she liked in the Hundred Cities area. According to Senior Sister Liu, that person was also a genius. He was the same age as Junior Sister Tang and had also established a foundation.

At that time, she just lamented that only the same genius could be noticed by Junior Sister Tang.

A year ago, junior sister Tang followed her uncle to the Hundred Cities area, and she also followed.

Seeing Junior Sister Tang's anxious expression, she was still a little confused about what had happened. It wasn't until Senior Sister Liu came back later to tell the story that she found out that Junior Sister Tang was worried that something had happened to her lover.

Wen Jinshan in the Hundred Cities Area has come to an end of his lifespan. Ordinary disciples who are not in the Hundred Cities Area do not know this news, but Master Uncle and the others have a source of information.

Junior Sister Tang learned the news from her uncle, and begged him to take her to Wenjin Mountain. Uncle Junior loved Junior Sister Tang so much that he not only agreed, but also called his seventh junior uncle to join him.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, in order to prevent you from being wanted, Junior Sister Tang told the outside world that you were her fiancé. This was an expedient measure. This news did not spread in Xiyue Sect. The entire Xiyue Sect except for the sect leader and the elder , there are only a few insiders.”

Chu Ning looked at Yao Xin, so what does this mean?

Seeing the confusion in Chu Ning's eyes, Yao Xin was a little speechless. This person is a genius in cultivation, but he doesn't know anything about human relations?

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you and Junior Sister Tang come from the same place. May I ask you what the process is for men and women to discuss marriage?"

Yao Xin mentioned something, and Chu Ning suddenly realized what he meant.

When discussing marriage, the man must first arrange for an elder to come to propose marriage. This is the rule.

If it hadn't been for the incident in Shanyang City, the master would have brought him to Xiyue Sect to propose marriage. By then, he and Tang Ruowei could be regarded as fiancé and fiancée.

Now I have not come to propose marriage. If the situation was not critical at that time, I am afraid that Tang Ruowei's master would not agree to Tang Ruowei directly saying that he is her fiancé.

Women in this world should be reserved, and the same goes for female cultivators.

Especially since Tang Ruowei is now the chief disciple of the Xiyue Sect. If word spreads that the man has not come to propose marriage yet, but she claims to be his fiancée, it will give people the impression that she is taking the initiative.

This has some impact on Xiyue Sect's reputation. As for Tang Ruowei, even if she doesn't care, other disciples in the sect will definitely discuss it privately.

Therefore, this news only spreads in the Hundred Cities Area, and even in the Hundred Cities Area, it only spreads on a small scale.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Yao, for reminding me. I know what to do."

"Uncle Master and the elders, this arrangement is also for Junior Sister Tang's consideration."

Yao Xin explained that she was afraid that Chu Ning would resent her uncle and the others because of this. After all, these geniuses are arrogant, and it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.

To be honest, in terms of appearance and state of mind, Chu Ning and Junior Sister Tang are a match made in heaven.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yao, Chu Ning is not a person who doesn't know good or bad."

Knowing what Yao Xin was worried about, Chu Ning gave Yao Xin a reassurance.

A quarter of an hour later, Yao Xin led Chu Ning to a small mountain peak.

"Outsiders from Xiyue Peak are not allowed to enter without the permission of the elders. Fellow Daoist Chu will rest here for a while. I have already sent a message to Junior Sister Tang. I think Junior Sister Tang will be here soon."

Yao Xin placed Chu Ning in a courtyard on this small mountain peak, and left knowingly.

Seeing Yao Xin leaving with her sword again, Chu Ning muttered in her heart: "This woman is pretty good, so let's take the blame for her."
