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

Sun and Moon Mountains.

Yao Xin walked out of the cave. At this moment, the spiritual power in her body was several times stronger than before.

In half a year, she went from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

But there was no joy at all on her face, more of a look of confusion.

Until now, she still can't believe what she has experienced in the past six months.

First, she met an old senior in Chu Ning's cave. When she found out that this old senior was the Grand Master's uncle and the powerful Nascent Soul of the sect, she was shocked for a while.

She was just a small foundation-building disciple, how could she attract the attention of Grand Master's uncle?

When Grandmaster Uncle told her the reason, her shock not only did not diminish, but doubled.

Chu Ning participated in the alchemist competition in his own name, and it was very likely that he would actually win the first place.

But Chu Ning didn't want to reveal his identity, so the name of this genius alchemist would fall on himself.

But the key is that I don’t know how to make alchemy at all.

It is really ridiculous for me, a person who knows nothing about alchemy, to hold the title of the sect's number one alchemist and the number one alchemy genius of the younger generation in the four continents.

If she hadn't really entered the middle stage of foundation building at this moment, Yao Xin would still be unable to accept it.

How should she face the many fellow apprentices and sisters, and how should she explain to her master?

The Grand Master's uncle said that there were only a few people who knew about this matter. Apart from Chu Ning and You Xing, only the Grand Master's uncle and the sect master knew about it.

When she thought of the situation she was going to face, Yao Xin suddenly felt the urge to retreat into seclusion.

Boom!

A bell rang on the moon peak, and Yao Xin knew that the sect was going to give him a reward.

Grand Master's uncle had told her that she had to accept the sect's reward. Only in this way could the title of this genius alchemist be confirmed.

Moon Peak.

Yao Xin went with her sword, and when she landed on the mountain peak, many senior sisters greeted her with great enthusiasm.

Helpless, Yao Xin could only bite the bullet and smile, responding like this all the way towards the main hall.

The main hall of Xiyue Sect.

Fei Yuelan sat high on the throne, and many elders sat on the scroll.

When Yao Xin entered the main hall, she felt tremendous pressure in an instant.

With her status, this was the first time she entered the main hall.

The main hall of Xiyue Sect is where elders and sect masters discuss matters. They, the foundation disciples, are not eligible to enter the main hall unless the matter they want to discuss is related to them.

In Yao Xin's memory, the last foundation building disciple who entered the main hall was Junior Sister Tang.

It is said that Junior Sister Tang's talent made the elders want to accept disciples. The sect leader had no choice but to summon all the elders to discuss for Junior Sister Tang and let Junior Sister Tang choose which elder to become her disciple.

Today, I also enjoy the treatment of Junior Sister Tang, but not because of my own strength, but because of the title of alchemy genius that I hold for Chu Ning.

It feels a little awkward no matter what.

"Yao Xin, you bring glory to the sect in this competition. The sect will give you 10,000 contribution points as a reward. In addition, you will be allowed to go to the sect's treasure house to select a top-quality spiritual weapon."

Listening to the sect leader's words, Yao Xin raised his head, with an incredible look in his eyes, 10,000 contribution points...

Over the years, she has diligently completed the sect's tasks, and the total contribution points she has earned are only more than a thousand points. If she relied on the sect's tasks, it would take at least ten years to earn these 10,000 contribution points.

It is true that the contribution points of the sect tasks accepted by the foundation-building monks are higher, but the difficulty of completing the same tasks is also higher.

For a moment, Yao Xin felt no longer awkward.

"Thank you, Master."

Fei Yuelan nodded and glanced at the many junior sisters. Seeing the bright eyes of these junior sisters looking at Yao Xin, she felt funny in her heart.

These junior sisters didn't know the truth and thought that Yao Xin was really an alchemy genius, but they didn't know that the real alchemy genius was Chu Ning.

The same goes for herself. If her uncle hadn't sent a message and told her the truth, she would have realized that Yao Xin was actually Chu Ning pretending to be Chu Ning. ,

Uncle Master once told him that Chu Ning's identity cannot be exposed, so Yao Xin's identity must be confirmed.

Yao Xin defended the third-level earth fire for the sect, so a reward must be given, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of others.

Fei Yuelan believed that the major forces were already investigating Yao Xin's origins at this moment, and Yao Xin had never made an alchemy once before. Now the major forces would only suspect that the sect deliberately concealed Yao Xin's identity as an alchemist.

But if Yao Xin is not given the reward he deserves, other forces will have to doubt the authenticity of Yao Xin's identity.

"In addition to these rewards, the sect also plans to give you another mountain peak, which you can live on alone."

Yao Xin was startled, and he was given a mountain peak by himself?

Doesn’t the sect master know the inside story of this matter?

"Considering your alchemy talent, giving you a separate mountain peak will also make it easier for you to be disturbed when you are refining alchemy."

Fei Yuelan added, and Yao Xin instantly understood that this was so that she could continue to cover Chu Ning in the future.

As an alchemy genius like himself, he will definitely continue to make alchemy in the future, at least to show off from time to time. With such a separate mountain, Chu Ning will not be caught pretending to be himself.

"Thank you, Master."

Yao Xin quickly agreed. Fei Yuelan glanced at the many elders on the scroll and said with a smile: "Elders, Yao Xin is extremely talented in alchemy, but now her strength is still a little bit behind. I hope everyone will not go to Yao Xin to refine elixirs. Give her more time to grow.”

After finishing speaking, seeing some elders about to speak, Fei Yuelan added lightly: "These are the original words of my great uncle."

When the great uncle was mentioned, the expressions of many elders present changed. Unexpectedly, even the great uncle was alarmed by Yao Xin.

It seems that it will not be that easy for them to ask Yao Xin to refine elixirs for his disciples.

…

…

Yao Xin didn't know how she walked out of the hall. She didn't even dare to look at her master because she didn't know how to explain it to her master.

She left Youyue Peak to live alone on a mountain peak. She promised so readily that she was afraid that her master would be sad, but she did not dare to go against the words of her grand master and uncle.

After leaving Yuefeng, Yao Xin came to the mountain peak assigned to her by the sect.

Qinghuo Peak.

This is a unique peak among many mountain ranges, because the Earth Fire of Xiyue Sect is at the bottom of this peak.

When Yao Xin arrived at Qinghuo Peak, she found that Chu Ning was already waiting for her there.

"Senior Sister Yao won't blame me."

Chu Ning turned around and looked at Yao Xin with a smile. Yao Xin was speechless for a moment. To be honest, even if she had reached the middle stage of foundation building, she was still a little dissatisfied with Chu Ning.

But thinking about the benefits given by the sect master, she suddenly felt that she had no right to be dissatisfied.

In terms of gains, she got a big advantage. Not only did she avoid more than ten years of hard training, but she also got many sect contribution points and the opportunity to select spiritual weapons from the treasure house.

And all she has to pay is to bear the title of alchemy genius.

"I can't say it's weird, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Chu Ning knew the meaning of Yao Xin's words. It was like a scumbag replacing the identity of a top student, and this identity was recognized by the whole school. It was impossible not to feel guilty.

"Senior Sister Yao, just treat her as normal. The sect master will not let you make elixirs. But when you really need to make elixirs, I will refine the elixirs on the mountain peak and give them to Senior Sister."

To maintain Yao Xin's status as a genius alchemist, Yao Xin must be arranged to refine the elixir every once in a while. Only in this way will there be no suspicion.

"I understand that the sect master gave me this mountain solely for the purpose of making elixirs."

Yao Xin emphasized the pronunciation of the word "I", and Chu Ning smiled knowingly. He felt comfortable talking to smart people.

What Chu Ning did not tell Yao Xin was that the entire Qinghuo Peak had a separate formation, which was personally done by the Nascent Soul strongman from the Xiyue Sect. Even the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan Realm strongman could not enter.

After taking Yao Xin around the mountain peak, Yao Xin asked curiously: "Is this mountain peak just a cave?"

"Yes, one is enough. I don't stay here on weekdays. I only come here when I am refining elixirs."

There is a small peak that he cultivated on Hongri Peak. Chu Ning has not planned to leave Hongri Peak yet, so the cave at Qinghuo Peak is prepared for Yao Xin.

"okay, I get it."

Yao Xin had some doubts in her heart, why didn't Chu Ning move to Qinghuo Peak? Wouldn't it be easier to be exposed if she lived in Qinghuo Peak?

Could it be...

A smile suddenly appeared on Yao Xin's face, "I understand."

Yao Xin understood that when she thought about Chu Ning not living in Qingfenghuo, she was afraid that Junior Sister Tang would misunderstand.

A man and a woman living together on the same peak, Junior Sister Tang might feel uncomfortable if she knew about it.

Apart from this possibility, Yao Xin could not think of any other possibility.

It seems that Chu Ning has a deep affection for Junior Sister Tang. Although there are many Taoist couples in the monk world, few Taoist couples can do this to each other.

It is true that when Junior Sister Tang heard that something had happened in Wenjin City, she hurriedly went to Wenjin City.

Chu Ning looked at Yao Xin's expression and was a little confused. What did this person understand?

Is this just a matter of imagination?

Just when Chu Ning was about to ask curious questions, a figure fell in front of the two of them. Yao Xin quickly said respectfully: "I have met the sect master."

"Yao Xin, this incident has made you a little aggrieved." Fei Yuelan looked at Yao Xin with a smile, and Yao Xin said quickly: "This disciple has not been wronged, but has received many benefits from it. Such grievances are afraid of everyone in the sect. All disciples are willing to bear it."

"Well, it's good that you can think of this. How about going to the cave first and taking a look. If you need anything, you can tell me then."

Hearing the Sect Master's words, Yao Xin knew in her heart that the Sect Master had something to say to Chu Ning.

It's just a cave, how could the sect master worry about such a trivial matter.

In other words, if this cave is really where Chu Ning lives, the sect leader may still be worried. Now it is for himself. If he feels that the cave is not good, he can completely modify it himself.

"Okay, then disciple, please leave first."

Fei Yuelan looked at Yao Xin's leaving figure, and her eyes fell on Chu Ning: "Chun Ning, you gave this sect leader a big surprise."

"Sect Master, don't say that. This junior can't afford it. If I had known earlier that this competition was related to Xiyue Sect's battle between earth and fire, I would have signed up to participate immediately. After all, I am also Xiyue Sect's son-in-law, and I am also half A member of the Xiyue Sect.”

Seeing Chu Ning telling lies seriously, the curve of Fei Yuelan's mouth rose by a degree. No wonder her uncle said that Chu Ning was really thick-skinned.

As a senior uncle, he would generally not comment on a junior. For him to make such a comment, it can only be said that what Chu Ning did really shocked him.

But now she finally understood the meaning of her uncle's comment.

Uncle Shi told him the original story of the matter.

Chu Ning didn't agree immediately, but after various ink marks, he finally confirmed that the identity of Yao Xin's replacement would not be exposed, and it was his uncle who had been hammering Tang Ruowei's marriage before he agreed to participate in the competition.

Of course, Uncle Master also said that Chu Ning is a genius in alchemy and can be regarded as the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect. If you are thick-skinned, you should be thick-skinned.

My son-in-law has this kind of virtue, what can he do?

"This time you took action to save the Earth Fire for our Xiyue Sect. I was going to give you a reward, but since you also said that you are the son-in-law of our Xiyue Sect, and this sect leader gave the reward to Yao Xin, then I won’t give you any rewards.”

Chu Ning's mouth opened slightly. Was he shooting himself in the foot?

"Ahem, actually, this junior has never thought about rewards or anything like that, but that...the original reward for first place..."

A fourth-grade alchemy furnace.

You can't swallow this for yourself.

Fei Yuelan waved her hand, and a ray of light shot towards Chu Ning. Chu Ning stretched out his hand to catch it. His consciousness glanced at the contents of the storage bag, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xiyue Sect is still very generous in doing things. In addition to the originally announced rewards for first place, this storage bag also contains many medicinal materials.

The storage bags given by Xiyue Sect in the last round of the alchemy competition. After the alchemy was completed, the storage bags of Zhang Qing and the four others were taken back by Xiyue Sect.

In order to ensure that there are enough medicinal materials that can be used with Shou Yidan, the medicinal materials in the storage bag include almost all the medicinal materials that can be used for all the elixirs in the entire foundation building realm.

However, Xiyue Sect did not take back Chu Ning's storage bag, and it was impossible for Chu Ning to mention such a thing at this time.

"Besides these, Uncle Master asked me to convey a message to you. He will collect a magic weapon for you as a reward."

"real?"

Chu Ning subconsciously confirmed it. After asking, she saw Fei Yuelan's cold eyes and her expression was a little embarrassed.

What the Nascent Soul strongman said would certainly not be false.

"I mean I'm really excited. I didn't expect that my uncle Taishi was so kind to me. I really can't repay him. If I hadn't gotten married to Ruowei, I really wanted to recognize my uncle Taishi as my adoptive mother."

The corner of Fei Yuelan's mouth twitched. If my uncle heard Chu Ning's words, he would probably kill Chu Ning with a magic weapon.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Hey, I'm just too excited. Please forgive me, sect master." Chu Ning scratched his head and said.

Fei Yuelan looked at Chu Ning's expression, but she didn't feel angry in her heart. Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei were similar in age. They had not practiced for a long time, so it was understandable that their minds were so out of control.

"I came to you this time with one more thing, about guarding Yidan."

Chu Ning was not surprised. Shou Yidan had a great influence on the foundation-building monks. Xiyue Sect had more than a dozen monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, but there were hundreds of them in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment. If there were Shouyidan, Xiyue Sect had Yuezong's mid-level combat strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

"Sect Master, I can give it to the sect regarding the elixir recipe for keeping Yidan."

Fei Yuelan's beautiful eyes widened. Chu Ning's words were a bit unexpected. She didn't believe that Chu Ning didn't know the value of keeping a complete recipe of Yidan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked to block her spiritual consciousness during the competition. .

"What reward do you want?" Fei Yuelan asked directly.

"Who does the sect master think of me, Chu Ning?" Chu Ning looked upright: "I only have a small request, which is to purchase a wave of medicinal materials before the prescription of Shou Yidan is spread."

Chu Ning had already thought about how to deal with Shou Yidan's prescription.

The best way to deal with this elixir is to give it to Xiyue Sect, because only the big sects need it, and refining the Shouyi elixir is extremely time-consuming, and he doesn't have that much time to refine it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the pill formula is not exposed to the outside world, it is the wisest way to purchase the remaining four medicinal materials first, and then wait for the price to increase and sell them.

"Is the elixir recipe going to be spread?" Fei Yuelan frowned. According to her opinion, it is best to keep the elixir recipe firmly in the hands of the Xiyue Sect.

"Sect Master, let me tell you the truth, the remaining four medicinal materials of Shou Yidan are very rare. They are available on the market now because everyone doesn't know. According to the current market price, the cost of one Shou Yidan is probably as low as It takes tens of thousands of spirit stones.”

Tens of thousands of spirit stones would be a huge sum of money for a foundation-building monk.

Fei Yuelan understood what Chu Ning meant. Even the Xiyue Sect would not be able to refine Shou Yidan on such a large scale.

It's not that Xiyue Sect doesn't have the financial resources, but that Xiyue Sect still has many Qi Condensation monks, so they can't put all their spiritual stones into refining Shouyi Dan.

Magical weapons, spiritual weapons, spiritual stones needed for disciples' practice, and other elixirs and medicinal materials all require a large amount of spiritual stones to support them.

"My sect leader understands what you mean, so the best way is to stock up on a wave of medicinal materials before announcing the recipe for Shou Yidan."

"Junior suggested that Xiyue Sect can publicize the prescription of Yidan after hoarding medicinal materials. Of course, it is not free of charge, but requires other forces to provide corresponding rewards."

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he added: "It is best to invite all the forces at once. If one party is missing, then the pill recipe for guarding Yidan will not be given publicly."

There is no intellectual property protection in the monk world, so this thing can only cut a leek with one knife.

"My sect leader understands what you mean. In this case, I will give you one hundred thousand spirit stones to buy medicinal materials. These medicinal materials will be left to you to handle by yourself."

From Fei Yuelan's point of view, the monks in the Hundred Cities area didn't have many spirit stones. Even if Chu Ning had a master, it was impossible to give Chu Ning too many spirit stones because he was suddenly trapped in Shanyang City.

Even some powerful golden elixir experts may not be able to possess the amount of one hundred thousand spirit stones.

It's not that a strong person with golden elixirs can't earn a hundred thousand spiritual stones, it's mainly because there are so many spiritual stones that need to be used in cultivation. In order to improve his strength, buying spiritual weapons, elixirs, and various spells are all expenses.

The higher the strength, the greater the expenditure.

"Thank you, sect master. Then I will take out another 200,000 spiritual stones and give them to the sect master to help purchase medicinal materials."

Chu Ning didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise. One hundred thousand plus his own two hundred thousand, a total of three hundred thousand spiritual stones. After a few years of hoarding, it would not be a problem to double it several times.

He had a hunch that the prices of the first six medicinal materials of Shou Yidan must have risen. As long as they are businessmen, whether they are secular businessmen or businessmen in the monk circle, they all have keen judgment.

Instead of hoarding the first six medicinal materials, he only stocked up on the last four.

Fei Yuelan was silent, especially when she saw that Chu Ning did not just talk, but actually took out several storage bags filled with spirit stones. She didn't know what to say.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones.

It seems that when she first entered the Golden Core Realm, she couldn't even carry so many spiritual stones.

Unless she needs a large amount of spiritual stones to purchase something, in most cases she only has about 50,000 spiritual stones.

If she could, she almost wanted to take back what she just said.

"Sect Master, I would like to ask this junior, does our sect have shops in various cities?"

A large sect like Xiyue Sect definitely needs to earn spiritual stones, and it is impossible to rely entirely on the offerings from affiliated sects.

"Well, why do you ask?"

"Junior, I still have some unused spiritual weapons that I want to sell, and I want to use the sect's shop to help sell them."

Chu Ning waved his hand, and a large number of magic weapons and spiritual weapons floated in the air. There were almost hundreds of them in total.

Fei Yuelan:......

She suddenly had the illusion that she, the sect leader, was not as good as Chu Ning.

"However...the origins of these things are somewhat unknown. If someone asks about the origins when they are being sold..."

"Everything sold in Xiyue Sect's stores will never reveal the identity of the person consigning it."

Fei Yuelan understood the meaning of Chu Ning's words. These magic weapons and spiritual weapons may not have unknown origins, but they may have been snatched by Chu Ning from others.

But Fei Yuelan doesn't care. Many of the things sold in Xiyue Sect's shops have such origins. Some monks who killed people and took treasures sold them to Xiyue Sect.

Xiyue Sect bought it at a low price and then sold it at a high price in the store. Looking at the four continents, that is, the four major sects are qualified to do this.

Even if the relatives and friends of the murdered person found the murdered person's spiritual weapon in the store, they would not dare to cause trouble to the store.

"I will ask the elder in charge of these items to give you a valuation, and I will pay you 80% of the transaction price in the market."

"Thank you, Master."

Eighty percent, Chu Ning is already very satisfied.

In his previous life, he had also come into contact with some illegal goods. Generally, a shipping price of three percent was considered very high. The ones who really made the big bucks were the shippers with the background to be responsible for the shipment.

Of course, Chu Ning did not sell all the spiritual weapons obtained from killing people and seizing treasures. He did not sell the spiritual weapons obtained from Wang Sen and the foundation-building monks of Xuantian Sect.

The reason why he chose to sell the stolen goods this time was because he had now entered the Golden Core. Facing the powerful Golden Core, these foundation-building spiritual weapons were no longer of use.

After the matter was settled, Fei Yuelan did not plan to stay any longer. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Xiyue Sect would have to work for Chu Ning.

"About you and Ruowei, this sect master is prepared to make it public to the whole sect."

"ah……"

Chu Ning was a little surprised, but then she understood that Xiyue Zong had found out that she was a super potential stock and wanted to tie her up.

I don't think the Xiyue Sect is realistic. The Xiyue Sect didn't beat the couple at the beginning, and what they do now is just human nature.

"Thank you, Master."

Watching Fei Yuelan leave, Chu Ning had a smile on her lips.

Facing the Xiyue Sect leader, including the Grand Master's uncle, it was his strategy to behave like a naughty junior.

Xiyue Sect is all female cultivators. As long as you are a female senior, you will have maternal love.

The more naughty I am, the more I can inspire the motherly love of these female seniors.

When you live under someone else's roof, you really have to think deeply at every step.

But the feeling of eating soft rice is really good.
