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

Chilian County.

Chu Ning came down from Wanshe Mountain and went to Chilian County.

Come here, take revenge by the way.

"Brother Snake, since you and I are on the same boat now, do we need to give a certificate of surrender or something?"

blacksnake:"?"

There is a guy in this city who specializes in smuggling your snakes and using them to stew soup, make wine, and fry...

Black Snake: "Do it!"

…

An hour later, from a secret room in the east of the city, several detectives carried out a body with serious expressions.

The corpse had a jade ring on its hand, and there were two obvious tooth marks on its arm, and the entire arm was covered in black and blue.

"The head catcher was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."

"Could it be that some venomous snake has become a spirit and is seeking revenge on its leader?"

After the body was carried out, these detectives began to discuss in a low voice. It was almost impossible for a strong martial artist to be bitten by a poisonous snake.

It's not that a strong martial artist can withstand snake venom, but that he won't be bitten by a poisonous snake at all.

But the head catcher was indeed bitten to death by a venomous snake. The snake's tooth marks on his arms and the blueness of his arms were signs of being poisoned by snake venom.

This thing is evil.

"Why are you thinking so much? If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. They will naturally investigate this matter. Let's just do what we should do."

…

…

According to the official in the capital, Chu Ning was riding a horse and walking slowly. It was he who watched the black snake take action against the head catcher in Chilian County.

He took his own money and betrayed himself again.

He must kill this man.

The reason why he didn't take action against the Blood Wolf Gang was just because he didn't want people to think of him.

He will continue to use the identity of Ji Yang for the time being.

Along the way, Chu Ning tried his best to trick Black Snake into trying to find out what Black Snake was doing, but this beast was very smart and had no tricks.

Chu Ning: "What was Brother Snake's original state?"

Black Snake: "It's just a small wild snake."

Chu Ning: "How are the realms of cultivating immortals divided?"

Black Snake: "How could I, a little demon, know this?"

Chu Ning: "Brother Snake has been cultivating for so many years, so he doesn't understand anything. Then the old Taoist in Sanqing Mountain should know what state he is in."

Black Snake: "A summer insect cannot speak of ice. How can I, a little demon, know what the realm of an old Taoist priest is like?"

Very good, the main character doesn't know anything about it.

Chu Ning sneered: "Since you don't need to absorb spiritual energy and can rely on the longevity fruit to provide it, why are you still attracted to the snake fruit?"

blacksnake:""

Entered the city.

Chu Ning returned to the military hall, and the black snake slipped out of his sleeve.

Chu Ning's only gain along the way was to confirm one thing: the venom of the black snake would not harm him.

It's not because he is a master and invulnerable to all poisons. In Black Snake's words, it's because the two of them have a symbiotic relationship because of the longevity fruit.

To put it bluntly, the venom of the black snake is not natural like that of ordinary poisonous snakes, but is purified and mutated after practice. However, the energy absorbed by the practice is from the longevity fruit, and the true energy in the body is also from the longevity fruit. energy.

The snake venom entered his body and was automatically absorbed by the spiritual energy.

Chu Ning naturally didn't believe it at first, suspecting that the beast was lying to him and wanted to poison him to death, until Black Snake asked him to do an experiment.

Black Snake did not resist and allowed Chu Ning's true energy to be injected into his body. Chu Ning tried to draw the true energy according to the Qi Control Technique, but the true energy that entered the black snake's body was like a stone sinking into the ocean and showed no response.

In the words of Black Snake, neither of us can kill the other now. The most we can do is hurt the other. If we can endure the pain without being defensive, we can absorb more of the other's energy.

Speechless all night.

The next day, he entered the palace.

Chu Ning got up early, and the black snake got into Chu Ning's sleeve.

Taking Black Snake to the palace was something Chu Ning and Black Snake agreed upon last night.

If Emperor Taizu of the Liang Dynasty was really a cultivator of immortality, or even the culprit who blocked this world, then there must be some arrangements in the palace that Black Snake could sense.

The east gate of the palace.

When Chu Ning came here, there were already many captains standing here.

Today is a day of rewards for merit, a great event, and all these captains are beaming with joy.

Chu Ning stood at the back of the team and moved forward without asking for trouble. The black snake in her arms did not move, indicating that nothing had been discovered yet.

Chenshi.

The palace door opened on time, and Chu Ning and others filed in. Under the leadership of the guards, they entered the palace and headed towards the main hall.

Entering the palace, going up hundreds of steps, a magnificent hall appears in front of you.

Chu Ning followed the captains at the back and stepped into the hall without daring to raise his head and look around. However, the last time he broke through to the master realm, his perception became sharper. Even though he didn't look, he could still know what was around him.

In the words of Black Snake last night, this is called divine consciousness.

These immortal cultivators will all have them, and the strength and weakness are distinguished by the range of perception.

The range that Chu Ning could sense when he first entered immortal cultivation was only three to five meters. Now Chu Ning can sense more than ten meters because of the longevity fruit.

The longevity fruit increases lifespan, and lifespan is closely related to the soul. The stronger the soul, the longer the lifespan, and vice versa. Divine consciousness is a small magical power evolved from the soul.

In Chu Ning's spiritual perception, the hall was splendid, with stone pillars and walls decorated with bright gems, making the whole hall full of noble and elegant atmosphere.

At the same time, the entire hall is like a furnace, which is condensed by the energy and blood emitted by the officials.

However, the figure sitting on the steps, although there was no energy and blood leaking out, could not move forward even though the energy and blood in the whole hall were not able to move forward at all.

Chu Ning knew that this Emperor Liang was also a powerful master.

However, because Emperor Liang was far away, more than ten meters away, Chu Ning did not dare to raise his head and look directly at Emperor Liang in full view of everyone.

The process of awarding the reward was very boring, with the edict read out by the officials around the emperor. The only thing that satisfied Chu Ning was that the close official around the Liang Emperor was not a eunuch, but a strong man at the level of a military general.

The contents of the edict are also very simple. There are not many people who have been promoted, because promotion in the Liang Dynasty requires strength. Only when you have enough strength can you move up. If you are not strong enough, you can only get rewards.

Chu Ning, like other captains, received an additional thousand merit points as a reward.

The next thing had nothing to do with Chu Ning, and soon they, the captains, were invited out of the main hall.

Several other captains were talking to each other and walking towards the south of the palace, preparing to go to the library or the arsenal. Chu Ning thought that he still had so many battle merit points, and it would be a waste not to spend them. He was about to go south too, but was stopped by someone. A guard stopped him.

"Captain Ji, please come with me to the Royal Garden. There is a noble person who wants to meet you."

"Noble, who is this noble?"

The guards were silent, and Chu Ning inexplicably thought of what Tu Feifei told him. The Burning Blood Technique was a test technique released by the royal family. The faster he showed progress, the more he would attract the attention of the royal family.

Following the imperial guards through the palace, they arrived at the imperial garden after tea time.

"Commander Ji, please come in. The noble man is inside."

The imperial guards did not enter the imperial garden. Chu Ning nodded and stepped into the imperial garden.

Stepping into the courtyard, you will see a crescent moon bridge made of bluestones. The bridge is ten meters wide. There is a green lake with lotus flowers in bloom. On both sides of the lotus pond, flowers and various green plants are planted.

Chu Ning stepped onto the stone bridge and his eyes fell on the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake. An old man with white hair was sitting there, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Is this the noble man?

Judging from his age, he must be one of the elders of Emperor Liang.

Chu Ning stepped forward quickly, stopped at the edge of the island, and said respectfully: "Ji Yang, a humble official, has seen noble people."

"Noble?"

The old man suddenly stroked his beard and laughed: "Compared to the title of noble, I hope you can change your title. You can call me teacher."

Chu Ning was stunned. What do you mean, you want to be your own cheap master?

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

"The blood-burning skill you practice was created by me. How dare you call me your teacher?"

After listening to the old man's words, Chu Ning's expression became excited, but his expression was still a little hesitant, as if he wanted to shout but didn't dare.

"As a warrior, how can you say mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Just scream when I tell you to."

"Disciple Ji Yang has met the teacher."

Since the other party had already said this, Chu Ning naturally could not pretend any longer and immediately shouted respectfully.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would receive a disciple in my old age, so the teacher will give you a greeting gift first."

The old man flicked his hand and a token flew towards him. Chu Ning quickly caught it.

"With this token, you can go to the first five floors of the library, and you can choose from the first five floors of the arsenal."

Chu Ning was overjoyed, and her hand holding the token was shaking.

"The elders give it to me and I dare not refuse it."

"That's right. Come here, teacher, let's see what level you have reached in the Blood-Burning Kung Fu."

The old man waved, and Chu Ning's heart trembled. Was he trying to touch his bottom?

Fortunately, he has obtained the Qi Control Technique, which allows him to condense the true energy in his body into the form of dark energy, otherwise the secret will really be revealed.

"Well, your energy and blood are quite strong. It seems that you have only burned more than ten years of life. In more than ten years of life, you can break through to become a military commander. It is very good."

The old man withdrew his skinny hand from Chu Ning's arm, saw Chu Ning's confused look, and explained: "Teacher had a strong enemy when he was young. This person was more talented than the teacher. In order to catch up with this person, the teacher created this blood-burning technique. Then he sent this blood-burning skill to the military camp. The original intention was to see if there was anyone who was as suitable as the teacher to practice the blood-burning skill. However, in the past decades, there has not been a good seedling. Most of them broke through to the martial arts and their lifespans came to an end. "

"As for the identity of the teacher, you should be able to guess roughly. The teacher is from the royal family and is the same generation as Emperor Liang."

Chu Ning understood, this was a prince.

There were only five princes of the Liang Dynasty that he knew of, and the only one who fit the image in front of him seemed to be the mysterious fourth prince.

"The Burning Blood Technique you practiced is not the complete version. The reason why the teacher did not release the complete version is that the skills are not taught lightly, and the second reason is that the subsequent practice of the Burning Blood Technique requires the help of external objects."

An object appeared in Liang Jiulin's hand at some point. Chu Ning had a look of confusion on his face when he saw the object, and his heart was really shaken.

Isn't this a spiritual stone?
