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

Montenegro.

Chu Ning left the valley and returned to Black Mountain.

In front of Chu Ning, there was the stone tablet he brought back from the secret realm of the valley.

The stone tablet is simple, but the material is not too special. It is just an ordinary stone. However, the symbol on the stone tablet that looks like words but not words makes Chu Ning a little curious.

It's a word, but it's a bit like the inscriptions in a refiner, and a bit like the runes in a talisman.

If you want to know what is behind that stone door, you must find out what is on the stone tablet.

Jin family.

When Jin Zhi'an heard the disciple's report and Elder Ji's request to see him, he was stunned for a moment. This Elder Ji had been in Black Mountain for fifteen years, and this was the first time he went down the mountain.

To be honest, he had almost forgotten that there was such a guest elder.

"Elder Ji has made a breakthrough in seclusion."

After a while, Jin Zhi'an saw Chu Ning, with a look of shock in his eyes. In the past fifteen years, Elder Ji's aura has become a little stronger, and it seems that he is already very close to the late stage of foundation building.

Judging from the appearance of Elder Ji, there should be a lot of life left, and there should be no big problem in breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhi'an became more enthusiastic than before: "Is there something wrong with Elder Ji?"

"Well, I want to find out something about our Dongyu City's past from Fellow Daoist Jin."

Chu Ning directly stated his purpose of coming. This secret place was in a valley, so it was very possible to find clues from some major or strange events that had happened in the past in Dongyu City.

"The past of Dongyu City?"

Jin Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Chu Ning meant.

This elder Ji is afraid that he is going to ask about some major events that have happened in Dongyu City in the past.

"Fortunately, Elder Ji joined my Jin family and became the elder of my Jin family's Keqing. My Jin family is not the strongest among the four major families, but it is definitely the one with the longest history in Dongyu City among the four major families."

Jin Zhi'an smiled slightly and said with confidence: "Elder Ji, please wait a moment."

After the tea time, Jin Zhi'an left and came back with an extra jade slip in his hand.

"Here are the many major events that have happened in Dongyu City over the years recorded by my ancestors of the Jin family."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Jin."

Chu Ning took the jade slip, communicated with Jin Zhi'an for a while, and then left.

"Did Elder Ji discover something in Dongyu City?"

Jin Zhi'an looked at Chu Ning's leaving back and stroked his beard. He decided to arrange for a few people to keep an eye on Chu Ning in the Black Mountain area.

After leaving Jin's house, Chu Ning returned directly to Montenegro. He also knew in his heart that if he approached Jin Zhi'an so rashly, Jin Zhi'an would definitely be suspicious.

But based on the formation he set up in the valley, even if he didn't come close to the middle stage of the Golden Core, he wouldn't be able to find out that there was no strong person in the middle stage of the Golden Core in the entire Dongyu City. Even if the Jin family had suspicions, it would be fine.

After pouring his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip for more than ten breaths, Chu Ning's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

This jade slip of the Jin family records the major events of Dongyu City indeed, dating back five thousand years.

Two things aroused his curiosity.

The first thing is that there was a great war in Dongyu City four thousand years ago. At that time, the Jin family was just a small family and they did not know the specific circumstances of the war. However, in that war, Dongyu City was almost completely destroyed. .

The original words recorded by the ancestors of the Jin family are: It is suspected that several powerful Nascent Soul warriors fought, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared within three days.

But after the domain war ended, he once asked the senior of Xiyue Sect about the difference between Nascent Soul and Transformation God. According to that senior, Yuanying still uses its own spiritual power, but when it reaches the realm of Soul Transformation, You can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for your own use.

It is impossible for a strong Nascent Soul warrior to wipe out all the spiritual energy in a city. Even if a strong Nascent Soul warrior uses spells to drain away the surrounding spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will soon be replenished.

Only monks who can transform a city into a spiritual being can do it without the aura of heaven and earth for three days.

In other words, four thousand years ago, there were god-transformation monks fighting in Dongyu City. This was no longer as simple as violating the fact that there were no Nascent Soul strongmen in the Baicheng area.

It is impossible for the god-transformation monks from the outer realm to go to Dongyu City to fight in good condition.

The second thing that caught Chu Ning's attention was that it happened three thousand years ago. The ancestors of the Jin family recorded that: a strange monk entered the city, and three days later he heard the sound of Sanskrit lingering, which continued for several months.

Different monks, Sanskrit.

The combination of these two pieces of information made it difficult for Chu Ning not to think that the monk was saving the souls of the dead.

These two things are likely to be related to this secret realm, but this failed to solve Chu Ning's doubts.

This secret realm may be related to the battle between the monks who transformed into gods, or it may be that the battle between the monks who transformed into gods broke out because of this secret realm.

The problem is back to the original point.

As for the word on the stone tablet, there is no mention of it in this jade slip.

"By the way, why did you forget this?"

Chu Ning patted his head, and the next moment his eyes shone with a strange luster, staring closely at the stone tablet.

Revealing mirror.

Can see through some people's secrets, and can also see the ingredients of elixirs.

Over the years, Chu Ning has been using the Mysterious Mirror as a plug-in for alchemy, but he has forgotten that alchemy assistance is only one of the functions of the Mysterious Mirror.

After three breaths, a message appeared in Chu Ning's mind.

The mystic mirror is really useful.

[Ancient inscription: The soul can warm and nourish the soul, and in the extreme it can have a different soul. 】

The answer given by the secret mirror made Chu Ning know that he had guessed correctly before. This was really a word, which meant soul.

This inscription can warm and nourish the soul.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning took out a brush from his storage bag. Fortunately, he usually likes to collect small things, otherwise he would not be able to find this brush at the moment.

With the inscription in front of him, Chu Ning took a pen to copy the word "soul" on the inscription.

The tip of the pen breaks off halfway through writing.

"Is it still so difficult to write this word?"

Chu Ning raised her eyebrows and tried again. This time she calmed down and remembered the word in her heart, and then slowly wrote it.

This time, the word "soul" is two-thirds complete.

continue……

Seven times in a row, the word "hun" was finally completed.

After the word "hun" was written, Chu Ning felt a cool and refreshing feeling coming from her soul.

"Is it so effective to warm the soul?"

This feeling made Chu Ning's eyes light up, and she started writing again.

Seven days passed.

Chu Ning wrote a total of sixteen characters for soul, but at the end, the soul had no feeling at all.

"Too much is not enough. I probably wrote too much. No matter how much I can soothe my soul, I can't always maintain such an obvious effect."

After writing the word "hun", Shenhun no longer felt as comfortable as the first few times. Chu Ning was not disappointed. From now on, he kept writing the word "hun" every three days.

"According to the description of the Mysterious Mirror, in addition to warming and nourishing the soul, what does it mean to have a different soul in this extreme? Is the soul different from ordinary people, or is the soul different from others?"

Chu Ning rubbed his chin and thought, but there is no answer to this question in the short term. The word "extreme" shows that it will take a long time to warm up.

"It's a pity that the little monk's alms bowl cannot be controlled, otherwise he would still be able to venture into the secret realm."

Turning his right hand, a golden alms bowl appeared in Chu Ning's palm. This was something he had no time to return to the young monk before he was teleported away.

Over the years, he has tried to figure it out, and even recited scriptures to the alms bowl, but there was no response from the alms bowl.

I know that the alms bowl is a good thing, but I just can't use it. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

In addition to the alms bowl, Chu Ning also had a talisman in his hand, which was also given to him by the young monk Zen.

According to what the little monk Zen said, this talisman can suppress the realm of all the monks within a hundred miles to the same realm as his own.

Back then in the soul cultivator's tomb, he faced a strong Nascent Soul warrior. The young monk gave this talisman to himself, which shows that this talisman is also effective against a powerful Nascent Soul warrior.

I just don’t know if this talisman is also effective for powerful people who transform themselves into gods?

If it is also effective for the cultivators who transform themselves into gods, they will make a lot of money.

But Chu Ning knew after thinking about it that it was impossible. A single talisman could suppress the monk who transformed into a god to the golden elixir realm. Then the little monk must have a high background to have such a treasure.

"Forget it, just give up. As for the puppet, let him make his own creation." Chu Ning sighed softly and made the final decision.

…

…

Two years later, Chu Ning reappeared in the valley, and the secret realm was still open. Chu Ning used the soul-absorbing bracelet to harvest another wave of souls floating out of the stone gate.

In front of the stone gate, Chu Ning was holding a few crystal stones in his hand. These were crystal stones for refining puppets, which he had collected and traded in the Hundred Cities area over the past year.

The power of the puppet comes from the energy contained in its own materials. By shooting these materials into the stone door, Chu Ning can only hope that his puppet can move independently and collect these crystals.

Although the puppet has lost contact with him, it still has the basic instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Chu Ning stayed in this valley for a year, until the secret realm was about to close and the puppet had not yet come out of the stone door, so he had to leave.

After leaving the valley and removing the formation, Chu Ning returned to the Black Mountain area.

He planned to stay in the Black Mountain area until Nian Tangshan was three thousand feet away. Although he was not in Xiyue Sect, he still knew about the situation in Nian Tangshan.

Nian Tangshan is now 2,200 feet high, and if this continues for another 80 years or so, it will reach 3,000 feet.

When he read about three thousand feet of Tangshan, it was the day he left Chengshan Domain.

As for the grievances with Xuantian Sect, wait until the breakthrough reaches Nascent Soul and then come back to settle the matter. Or, if that doesn't work, wait until Yue Yaotian is dead and then dig up this guy's grave and crush his bones into ashes.

In the feud with Yue Yaotian, Yue Yaotian was the one who suffered, and he could afford to wait.

Ten years passed like this.

In the past ten years, relying on the ancient word "soul", Chu Ning's soul has grown a lot. On this day, a spiritual bird fell on the Black Mountain.

The spiritual bird turned into a jade slip and fell into Chu Ning's hand. Seeing the contents in the jade slip, Chu Ning's eyes narrowed. The master was finally going to start the process of conceiving a baby.

After waving his hand to set up a formation in the Black Mountain area, and making sure that even the middle-stage Jindan monks could not break in, Chu Ning placed several bottles of elixirs and several spiritual weapons in the cave, and finally placed five bottles of Qi Condensing Pills at the end. Prominent location.

After doing all this, Chu Ning appeared in Pingshan City. With a flick of his right hand, a jade token landed in Qiao Ya's boudoir.

This jade token is the pass to enter Montenegro.

Qiao Ya is taking a bath at the moment, and will find this jade slip when she returns to the boudoir.

Making these preparations is to prevent Chu Ning from being unable to come back due to an accident, and to prepare in advance to return this girl's favor.

When this girl really arrives in Black Mountain and sees the five bottles of Qi Condensing Pills, she will understand everything.
