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

Chapter 169 Chu Ning: Senior Duan... domineering

Xiyue Sect.

Library.

A single mountain peak, just behind Yuefeng.

When Chu Ning's sword landed on the mountain peak, he felt a ray of divine consciousness falling on him.

The spiritual consciousness of a strong person with golden elixir.

As the place where all Xiyue Sect's skills are stored, it is normal for the Library Pavilion to be guarded by a strong Jindan person. Chu Ning even felt that there was not only a strong Jindan person, but perhaps someone secretly there.

Taking the token given by Li Fenglin, Chu Ning walked towards a middle-aged woman sitting cross-legged on one side of the futon.

"You can choose your own exercises below the third floor. After selecting your exercises, you can practice them on this mountain and are not allowed to take them out of the mountain."

"Junior, remember this."

Chu Ning bowed. He already understood the rules of the Xiyue Sect Library before coming here.

Even the disciples of the Xiyue Sect cannot take the skills away from the mountain after selecting them. They can choose to practice in the many caves on the mountain. After they have started practicing, they can return the jade slips to the library before leaving.

The Xiyue Sect does not allow disciples to pass on or leak their skills privately, even among fellow sects. This is why Chu Ning came to Li Fenglin.

There are many monks in the Library Pavilion, but most of them on the first floor are Qi Condensation monks.

After spending a quarter of an hour, Chu Ning selected a few exercise books about formations on this floor and then went to the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, which is full of books, the second floor is filled with jade slips, and those who can go up to the second floor are all foundation-building monks.

What surprised Chu Ning the most was that there was a jade slip on the second floor that recorded all the exercises on that floor.

It is somewhat similar to the book management system of a library. Not only does it record all the exercises, but the jade slips that have been taken away will appear dark.

"I still underestimate the abilities of monks in this world."

Chu Ning sighed in his heart. He made the mistake of dogmatism and always thought that this kind of world was the benchmark ancient world.

Since people in previous lives could use computers to create this type of management system, it is normal for people in this world to use formations to create similar management systems.

Both are common.

Following the same procedure, Chu Ning took a few formation-advancing techniques from the second floor and headed to the third floor.

On the third floor, the number of people was extremely sparse.

After Chu Ning went up, he found that there were only three figures on the entire third floor, two of them were late-stage foundation-building monks, and the remaining one was a strong Jindan expert.

Seeing Chu Ning coming up, the two late-stage foundation-building female cultivators looked at Chu Ning curiously. Although the golden elixir female cultivator didn't look at him, Chu Ning could feel that the other party's spiritual consciousness was in her. The body was swept.

The two foundation-building female cultivators were curious about Chu Ning's identity. Xiyue Sect's late-stage foundation-building cultivators only had a few people who belonged to the same sect and knew each other, but the two women had never met Chu Ning.

If Chu Ning was not a disciple of Xiyue Sect, it would be impossible for him to enter the library pavilion.

Chu Ning smiled at the two women, and then went to pick out the jade slips she wanted.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning walked out of the library and headed straight for the many caves on the mountain peak.

There are hundreds of caves in the library, and each cave is guarded by a small formation. If the formation is activated, it means there is someone inside.

Choosing an unoccupied cave, Chu Ning started the formation without any delay and started studying the formation first.

Formation is an important art among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals.

Formation, alchemy, and weapon refining are the three main categories with the largest number of practitioners among the hundreds of arts.

"General Outline of Formation"

This was the first book Chu Ning brought from the first floor, and it was also a theoretical book on formations.

[What is formation? 】

[Grasp and adapt, follow the rules to accumulate strength, stagnate to release, use disorder to become order, use order to change disorder]

[The basis of the formation is form. If the form is correct, the spirit will be correct. If the energy is connected, the spirit will be gathered. If the spirit is gathered, the form will be transformed. 】

…

…

For an hour, Chu Ning still hadn't finished reading the "General Outline of Formation", but he was fascinated by it.

This book's introduction to formations is extremely detailed. Even if Chu Ning has not learned formations, he will benefit a lot from many theories.

There was even quite a bit of realization.

But when he turned to the last page and saw the senior author's words, the corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched.

[There are endless magic techniques in the world, they are all just the evolution of formations. 】

"Perhaps this is the so-called "all methods lead to the same destination through different paths," but I'm afraid I can't understand it in my current state."

Chu Ning whispered softly and picked up the second formation jade slip.

The book "General Outline of Formation" describes the theoretical knowledge of formations. Generally speaking, Chu Ning's impression is somewhat similar to that of the Nine Palaces and Bagua and Yin Yang and Five Elements in his previous life, but there are also some subtle differences.

In his previous life, Chu Ning had not studied these metaphysical things, but he also knew a common sense, that is, there is a saying among the five elements of color: water belongs to black.

Many people think that water is blue and gold is yellow, but in the actual colors of the five elements, gold is white and water is black.

But in the general outline of this formation, there are also five elements, but in this book, metal is yellow and water is blue.

"Perhaps there are differences between the two worlds that lead to differences in such details."

Chu Ning didn't go too far in this matter, and worshiped whatever gods he entered in any mountain.

A month later, Chu Ning successfully deployed a first-order formation.

But there was no joy on Chu Ning's face. He now had the spiritual consciousness of a strong Jindan player, and the first-level formation belonged to the Qi Condensation stage. Those who were talented in the formation could complete it even in the Qi Condensation stage for a month.

The good thing is that he doesn't really want to delve too deeply into the formation. He just needs to understand the formation theory to be able to understand this jade slip.

Two months later.

Chu Ning had already mastered the basic theory of the formation and began to study the restrictions in Wang Sen's jade slip.

Three months later.

A jade slip appeared in Chu Ning's hand, the same jade slip that Zheng Qingmin was wearing.

Putting the jade slip in front of her, Chu Ning made hand seals with her hands, her handprints constantly changing.

The handprint Chu Ning was performing at this moment was one of the three types of restrictions recorded in Wang Sen's jade slips.

Thirty breaths later, Chu Ning's handprint changed again.

If the first prohibition is not true, then try the second method to crack it.

For Chu Ning, he did not fully master the restrictions, but only mastered the three restrictions in the jade slips. He could not make inferences based on the restrictions in the jade slips, and could only try to pass them one by one.

It is somewhat similar to mastering three mathematical formulas to solve a problem. Whether the formula is suitable for the problem can only be known by applying it and solving it to see if there is an answer.

As Chu Ning's second handprint changed, the jade slip in front of him began to shimmer with a faint luster. This made Chu Ning's eyes light up and he made the right bet.

Fifteen breaths later, Chu Ning completed the hand seal, took the jade slip in his hand immediately, and put his spiritual consciousness into it.

In just three breaths, Chu Ning's consciousness was withdrawn from the jade slip, with a look of contemplation on his face.

This jade slip contains an address.

An address would make Xuantian Sect care so much. Could it be that this address has the inheritance of some powerful person?

Treasures, secrets, inheritance.

These three guesses were the first to pop into Chu Ning's mind.

Vientiane Mountain.

Chu Ning memorized the address and the map in his mind, and held the jade slip in his right hand. After a while, the jade slip turned into powder. As his palm opened, a breeze blew and dispersed in the air.

Now, except for himself, no one knows the information recorded in Zheng Qingmin's jade slips.

Even if he were to face Xuantian Sect head-on in the future, he would still have a trump card to negotiate with Xuantian Sect.

This is the reason why Chu Ning destroyed the jade slips.

Next, Chu Ning took out the jade slip recording the puppet technique.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning took out the two puppets. The puppets were no more than the size of a palm. This was because the two puppets had not been refined yet.

The method of refining a puppet is very simple, which is to divide the soul into the puppet and control the puppet through the soul.

Puppetry is not difficult, what is difficult is the strength of the soul.

The more special and powerful the puppet, the higher the requirements for its soul.

This actually made Chu Ning feel hopeful. Wang Sen didn't refine these two puppets. Naturally, it wasn't because he didn't know the puppet technique. The only reason was that Wang Sen's soul hadn't met the requirements yet.

These two puppets are probably unusual.

Chu Ning placed one of the puppets three meters in front of him, broke his fingertips, and poured three drops of blood on the puppet.

The essence and blood fell on the puppet and was sucked in instantly.

This is the first step.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Ning began to form handprints according to the puppet technique. As his handprints changed, the puppet's body shone with blood-red fluorescence.

The fluorescence is getting more and more charming, and the puppet's eyes are no longer rigid as before, and there is a strange color deep in the eyes.

Chu Ning's complexion began to turn pale as the handprints changed, and the next moment he took out three bottles of soul-cleansing liquid.

One bottle.

Two bottles.

Three bottles.

not enough.

Four bottles.

Five bottles.

When the last bottle of soul-cleansing liquid was left, the puppet finally showed obvious changes.

First, the eyes flashed with a red light. As the red light flashed, the puppet's originally dull face began to slowly squirm.

At the same time, the puppet's body also began to slowly increase in size, and did not stop until it was as tall as Chu Ning.

"Hush!"

Chu Ning let out a long breath. No wonder Wang Sen didn't refine it. If he didn't have so many drops of soul-cleansing liquid, it would be almost impossible to refine this puppet.

It requires more souls than what he can provide by raising mountains.

If this is the case for one statue, then there is no need to think about the second one.

Chu Ning looked at the other puppet, put it back into the storage bag, and then looked at the refined puppet in front of him with satisfaction.

The next moment, Chu Ning punched the puppet, and the puppet also punched.

boom!

The fists collided, and Chu Ning took a few steps back, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The strength of the golden elixir in its early stage.

He didn't waste so much soul-cleansing liquid in vain.

Although the puppets are not as powerful as the golden elixir monks who can cast spells with powerful or special effects, the advantage is also obvious, that is, they can be cast instantly.

Relying on its own special material refining, both speed and power are no worse than those at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

It is recognized in the monk circle that monks and puppets of the same realm, if they do not borrow special means such as formations, talismans and magic weapons, the monks are no match for the puppets.

"With my current strength and this puppet, I don't need to fight hard to face the Golden Core monks. Of course, if I encounter those Golden Core monks with magic weapons, I may not be my opponent."

The magic weapon is used by Jindan monks and requires the soul to control it.

Qi-condensing monks use magical weapons, while foundation-building monks use spiritual weapons.

Magical weapons and spiritual weapons are generally available to monks with some background. Qi-condensing monks from the great sects will definitely have magical weapons, and foundation-building monks will also have spiritual energy, but magic weapons are not necessarily the same.

Magical weapons are extremely rare.

It is impossible for ordinary golden elixir experts to possess one. Many golden elixir experts even failed to possess a magic weapon until the end of their lifespan.

Only some late-stage Golden Elixir masters may have magic weapons in their hands. For most of the Golden Core masters, having a broken magic weapon or magic weapon fragments is considered very good.

"receive!"

Chu Ning shouted softly, and the puppet shrank in size and turned into a stream of light and flew back to the storage bag.

After all, a puppet is a puppet and cannot possess him. This is different from Lao Hei. Of course, Chu Ning can also possess a puppet.

But there is not much difference between putting it in a storage bag and putting it on your body, and putting it in a storage bag can also block the prying eyes of your spiritual consciousness.

After packing up the jade slips placed aside, Chu Ning closed the cave formation and quickly headed towards the library pavilion.

In front of the library, the middle-aged woman was still sitting there, but when Chu Ning returned the books and jade slips and walked out of the library to leave with her sword, the woman opened her eyes.

"Are you Chu Ning?"

"Chun Ning has met senior."

Chu Ning stopped wielding the sword. Many disciples of the Xiyue Sect in the Library Pavilion came in and out. The senior ignored them all and did not dare to disturb them. He did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to speak, so naturally he could not be rude.

"Did you know that something big happened in Lanyue City during the few months you were in seclusion?"

"Is this related to this junior?"

Zhang Caiying nodded. If this matter hadn't been related to Chu Ning, she wouldn't have spoken at this moment.

"Senior Sister Duan unsheathed the sword that had been sealed for decades for you, and a golden elixir expert from the Xuantian Sect was seriously injured. In the end, if Yue Zhenhai, the second elder of the Xuantian Sect, had not taken action, even the young master of the Xuantian Sect would not have been able to escape. ."

Chu Ning was stunned?

The senior sister Duan mentioned by this senior should be Tang Ruowei's master.

Tang Ruowei's master took action against Xuantian Sect because of him?

"Senior Sister Duan is letting his words go. If I attack you, I will become the enemy of Senior Sister Duan. The Xuantian Sect will suffer the consequences first, so we can only suffer the consequences of being dumb."

Zhang Caiying's words made Chu Ning feel warm in her heart. Senior Duan is so powerful.

"You didn't know anything while you were in seclusion in the cave. Xuantian Sect inquired about your origins and sent people to the Liang Dynasty. However, Xuantian Sect did it very secretly and did not leave any clues."

"Xuantian Sect is investigating me."

Even though he knew it, Chu Ning still showed shock and anger on his face: "Senior, since Xuantian Sect has left no clues, then..."

"Senior Sister Duan doesn't need evidence." Zhang Caiying said with a smile on her face: "Senior Sister Duan's original words are very simple. If Xuantian Sect wants to regain its reputation, then they must provide evidence that they did not do it."

Chu Ning:......

"Senior Duan is so... so domineering."

After a while, Chu Ning held back this sentence with a strange expression. Apart from shouting "powerful and domineering", he really didn't know how to describe it.

To a certain extent, this is a kind of bullying, but if the target of bullying is Xuantian Sect, then it's okay.

If I doubt you, I can beat you up.

If you are not convinced, go find evidence to prove your innocence.

What a fucking relief.

"What about Xuantian Sect?"

Xuantian Sect is as huge as Xiyue Sect. Senior Duan did this to vent his anger on himself, and I am afraid it will also bring trouble to Xiyue Sect.

"Junior sister Duan is my uncle's direct disciple."

Zhang Caiying smiled slightly at Chu Ning, and Chu Ning understood.

The great uncle mentioned by this senior is the Yuanying boss of Xiyue Sect.

Senior Duan did not actually hurt the young master of Xuantian Sect, but only injured a Jindan elder of Xuantian Sect. It is impossible for Xuantian Sect to really start a war with Xiyue Sect over this.

The most important thing is that Xuantian Sect knew very well whether he had done something or not. As Wang Sen was killed by him, Xuantian Sect was probably also murmuring in his heart.

Confrontations between major forces have always been done at the last minute.

Chu Ning can still understand this. As long as both parties do not cross each other's bottom line, they will deal with it according to the optimal solution.

Dang!

Just when Chu Ning was about to express her gratitude, a bell rang in Xiyue Mountain, and Zhang Caiying's eyes lit up: "The alchemy competition has begun."
