Chapter 167 Incident
Even though they were both in the cave, Ling Xiaobai had not seen Chu Ning for nearly a month.
Since the little guy was injured, he returned to the cave to sleep alone.
Chun Ning was very suspicious that the more the other party slept, the faster he practiced.
“嘤!”
The first time he saw Chu Ning, Ling Xiaobai screamed in surprise.
It is sensitive to breath, so it naturally felt the change in Chu Ning's strength immediately.
“I succeeded in building the foundation!”
Seeing Ling Xiaobai’s performance, Chu Ning said with a smile.
"You have to work harder, little guy. If you don't advance to the second level monster, you will be far away from me."
"Hey!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiaobai screamed in grievance.
Chun Ning has now signed a life contract with the other party, and can quickly sense Ling Xiaobai's thoughts.
At this moment, I immediately understood what Ling Xiaobai meant.
“You mean, if you weren’t injured, you would have broken through now?”
Chun Ning said with an apologetic expression:
“This paragraph I focused on building the foundation, but I didn’t practice the Xuanming Jue with you, which delayed your recovery.”
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai came over and rubbed his feet affectionately.
Chun Ning reached out and picked up the little guy.
“Let’s go, go out with me first, and then I’ll practice with you when I come back.
I am now in the foundation building stage, and I will definitely be able to bring you better healing effects.
It's a pity that you said you could only eat one Yuancao that day, otherwise you would have recovered faster if you had a few more. ”
As he spoke, Chu Ning put Ling Xiaobai into the spirit beast bag and went directly out of the cave.
At this moment, Chu Ning did not change his appearance or conceal any aura.
Although the foundation-building monks are not walking sideways in the thousands of lakes and islands, their status is indeed different from that of ordinary Qi-refining monks.
Since Chu Ning has successfully built the foundation, naturally. There is no need to hide too much.
As long as your life-saving methods are not exposed easily.
Fly all the way to the teleportation array.
Everyone. The teleportation array on the island is under the unified management of the Thousand Islands Alliance, and the harvest is also owned by the Thousand Islands Alliance.
So the person guarding the teleportation array does not recognize Chu Ning.
However, people don't recognize Chu Ning's unique coercion as a foundation-building monk.
When this monk, who was about forty years old and at the fifth level of Qi Refining, saw Chu Ning appear, his expression was immediately startled.
Then he reacted quickly, bowed and saluted:
"I have seen the senior, and I don’t know where the senior wants to teleport to. The junior will make arrangements now."
"Thousand Fantasy Island." Chu Ning answered, reaching out and taking out ten low-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag.
“This is the transmission fee.”
When the middle-aged monk saw this, he suddenly showed a strange look on his face and said quickly:
“Senior is joking, Foundation Establishment monk There is no need to pay for teleportation in this thousand lakes and islands."
"Oh, really?" Chu Ning responded at this moment and took the spirit stone back.
He just broke through, and he really didn’t know there was such a rule.
"Is this senior just promoted to foundation building? However, there are no monks in Feihong Island with this level.
It seems that it is very likely that he is a monk from other places who has just come to this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.
It’s strange why we came directly to Feihong Island when we first came here.”
The middle-aged monk was also confused at the moment, but he didn’t dare to ask.
I just quickly activated the teleportation array.
After a while, Chu Ning walked out under the respectful gazes of the two Qi Refining monks in the Thousand Fantasy Island teleportation array, and then went straight to Nacen's workshop.
At this moment, Chu Ning could also feel the obvious difference in his identity as a foundation-building monk.
Every Qi Refining monk I met on the road was respectful to him.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the way I walk is out of the way for others.
“It seems that among these thousands of lakes and islands, there are no top forces or monks.
The status of this foundation-building monk is indeed very high. He has had little contact with the outside world before and has not felt it yet.
Now that I have broken through to a foundation-building monk, I can feel this experience immediately. ”
Thinking like this, Chu Ning walked straight into Cen Gongfang.
In the store, several clerks looked at each other after seeing Chu Ning come in, with expressions on their faces. Everyone looked a little surprised.
Finally, a guy from the seventh level of Qi Refining came up to him.
“Welcome to the Cen Workshop, senior. I don’t know what you want to buy. ? "
Chun Ning looked at the unfamiliar faces of several waiters, and finally fell on the man in front of him who seemed to be the leader.
"Take me to your house. Shopkeeper! ”
Although Cen Zijin told him before that he should go to Caiwu Island to inform the contact person after he leaves the customs.
She will rush to Feihong Island.
But since he has already established a foundation, there is no need to hide it too much.
I just came out to meet Cen Zijin. If you don’t dare to do this, then it’s okay not to cultivate this avenue.
When the guy heard Chu Ning’s words, he wasn’t worried at all.
On the contrary, he said even more respectfully: "Okay, senior, please come with me!"
This guy didn't even say that he wanted to report first.
Obviously, when the foundation-building monks arrived, they did not dare to neglect them.
Chun Ning followed the guy up to the third floor and laughed secretly in his heart.
I will definitely surprise Cen Zijin later.
Before, he only told Cen Zijin that he would refine a batch of elixirs in the next two to three months.
Then try to build the foundation within half a year.
Now that the other party sees that he has directly succeeded in building a foundation, he will probably be shocked.
Once again, we came to the tea room where we had been before. The waiter asked Chu Ning to wait outside the room while he entered the tea room.
I guess I didn’t report it before, so I still have to report it to Cen Zijin now.
Soon, the guy came out again.
Then he said to Chu Ning:
"Senior, please come in, our shopkeeper is waiting inside."
As he said this, the guy backed away, and Chu Ning Ze lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile on her face.
Stepping into the tea room, Chu Ning was slightly startled.
At this moment, there was still a person sitting behind the tea table, but it was not the familiar figure of Chu Ning.
But a middle-aged man in his mid-forties.
This man's appearance is vaguely similar to Cen Zijin's uncle Cen Wenquan.
Chun Ning reacted very quickly. Although he was extremely surprised, he could still maintain the smile on his face.
When the middle-aged man saw Chu Ning coming in, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said:
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down. Cen Wenhao is the shopkeeper of Cen Workshop.”
“Shopkeeper Cen!” Chu Ning clasped his fists in return.
My heart skipped a beat. This Cen Wenhao was one of the four foundation-building monks of the Cen family, and he was also the second uncle of Cen Zijin.
However, Cen Zijin told him before that this man and Cen Wenquan were advancing and retreating together, which put a lot of pressure on her.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning said casually:
"I haven't been to this Cen Workshop for a while, but I didn't know that the shopkeeper has changed."
< br>Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Wenhao looked at Chu Ning with a smile and asked:
"Fellow Taoist, it seems that I have been acquainted with my niece before. Do you know your surname?"
Chun Ning is a little confused at this moment about what is going on, but since he appears in his true self, it is naturally not good. No more hiding your identity.
So he said calmly:
"I'm Chu Ning, we're not familiar with each other, we just came here a few times to do business before.
This is Fairy Cen's. I am naturally very impressed by the name."
"Chun Ning." Cen Wenhao repeated Chu Ning's name softly, and then said with a hint of confusion:
"Fellow Daoist Chu. Could it be that he is a new Foundation-Building monk? I have had many contacts with the Foundation-Building monks in Thousand Lakes and Islands. This is my first time dealing with fellow Daoist Chu."
"I am indeed a new Foundation-Building monk recently. Monk." Chu Ning nodded.
After hearing this, Cen Wenhao looked astonished.
“No wonder! That fellow Taoist must have been practicing in seclusion some time ago.
Otherwise, you should have heard some news about our Cen family. Now I am taking over the Cen workshop. If you have any business, you can tell me the same thing. ”
Hearing this, Chu Ning’s heart sank slightly.
Listening to what the other party meant, everyone outside the Cen family knew about it.
Thinking of this Cen family again. Wen Hao took over as the shopkeeper. If this is the case, it is probably related to Cen Zijin.
After all, although the Cen family's formation is famous, among the thousands of lakes and islands, the most famous one is Cen Xianzi. Three words.
Although he thought this in his heart, Chu Ning's face did not waver at all.
But he continued to say lightly:
"Okay. , I heard before that this Cen Workshop seems to have some relatively high-end talismans, elixirs, etc. for sale. I just thought of asking if there are any available for our foundation-building monks.
There are also magic weapons. If there are top-level ones, that would be the best.
Fellow Taoist asked just now, I am a new monk, so naturally I need something with me. ”
“Of course it does! "
Cen Wenhao said with a smile: "Our Cen Workshop has some intermediate talismans and elixirs, it just depends on the specific needs of fellow Taoists. "
Speaking, Cen Wenhao took out some pills and talismans.
Chun Ning took it in his hand and looked at it, and his brows suddenly raised slightly.
These pills Although the medicine and talismans are also mid-level, they are not made by him.
“I have heard before that the talismans and elixirs sold by this Cen Workshop in the past two years are of higher quality than those outside. cut.
There is nothing special about the quality of these items from Shopkeeper Cen. Could it be that Fellow Taoist is afraid that I cannot afford the spiritual stones, so he refuses to bring out good things. ”
When he said this, Chu Ning showed some displeasure on his face.
The embarrassment on Cen Wenhao’s face flashed, but then returned to normal.< br>
"Fellow Daoist Chu was joking. If there were higher-quality things, Cen would naturally not hide them.
Cen Workshop did receive a batch of high-quality talismans and elixirs before, but it has long been It has been sold out.
But now these elixirs and talismans are made by masters of the Chen family and the Shi family, and their quality is definitely among the best in Qianhu Qiandao.”
"The Chen family and the Shi family." After hearing this, Chu Ning's expression suddenly became more serious.
These two families are exactly the camp that Cen Wenquan tried to join before.
Cen Wenhao only said that Chu Ning was because of the quality of the talisman and elixir he mentioned, and didn't think much about it.
At this moment, I am still talking to myself.
After some conversation, Chu Ning finally bought some intermediate talismans and elixirs.
As for the magic weapons, when Cen Wenhao just took out some high-level magic weapons.
Chun Ning naturally showed a lack of interest.
In fact, if it weren't for the fear of the other party being suspicious, Chu Ning would not have purchased the elixir, Talisman.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning walked out of Cen Workshop with a calm face, but his heart was full of turmoil.
"The Cen family has encountered changes, and there must have been a big change. It should be related to Cen Zijin."
Chun Ning can basically confirm this in his heart, but naturally he will not Foolish enough to pry for information from Cen Wenhao.
Even if I go to other places to inquire about information, my status is not convenient.
The foundation-building monks are still too conspicuous.
After leaving Cen Gongfang, Chu Ning walked around the market and bought some elixirs.
Later, he left Qianhuan Island and returned to Feihong Island.
After a while, Chu Ning changed his appearance, concentrated his aura on the seventh level of Qi Refining, and entered Thousand Fantasy Island again.
Then he went straight to the Zuixian Tower.
Although this Zuixian Pavilion is mainly composed of monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, there are many people talking about it, and you can often hear a lot of news.
Not long after Chu Ning entered the restaurant and sat in the lobby, news from all sides reached his ears one after another.
Soon his consciousness was concentrated, and he focused on listening to the conversation of three people at the table behind him.
"Brother Li, the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands are really not peaceful recently!"
The person who spoke was a skinny man. As soon as he finished speaking, another man with a long horse face appeared. The monk then answered:
“Who says it’s not the case? Two months ago, there were rumors of discord within the Thousand Islands Alliance.
Now I heard that in the past month, there have been three or four The second-level hidden spiritual vein was discovered on the island.
Everyone in Qianhu Qiandao seems to be ready to take action. "
Among the three people, there is an older, somewhat gray-haired seventh-level Qi Refiner. The old man spoke out at this time.
"Fellow Taoists, please give me more details. I just took a long trip and I don't know what happened."
"Brother Lu, let me tell you in detail." The horse-faced man took the lead.
“This has to be said two months ago. Something suddenly happened to the Cen family.
I heard that it was Fairy Cen who was so successful in running Cen’s workshop in the past two years. The Cen family has gained a group of supporters.
These people proposed at the Cen family meeting that Fairy Cen should be the head of the Cen family. "
The old man did not wait for the other party to continue. , immediately said:
"If Fairy Cen can really be the head of the Cen family, it would be great.
She is the number one genius in Qianhu Qiandao. Not only is she young, she is eighteen years old. He succeeded in building the foundation at the age of 10 and became known as the first formation mage.
I heard that he later learned how to make talismans and alchemy, and he managed the Cen workshop very well for the past two years. "The best business in this city is Cen Gongfang."
"Who says it isn't?" the horse-faced man said.
"I thought so when I first heard the news. If Fairy Cen could really serve as the head of the Cen family, it would be a good deal.
But things did not go so smoothly.
Just now After Senior Cen Wenquan agreed, Fairy Cen made another request.
It is said that Cen Wenquan wanted to withdraw from the Cen family. "
The old man was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Why is this? What Fairy Cen did was unethical."
"Who says it's not true?" The horse-faced man shook his head.
"It is said that it was because Cen Wenquan had previously intended to betroth Fairy Cen to the genius Chen Xinming of the Chen family.
But Fairy Cen did not agree, and the two had already had a stalemate."
When the old man heard it, he shook his head and said:
"Then Cen Wenquan is the current head of the Cen family. Can he agree?"
"Of course he refused. I heard that Cen Wenquan even refused to give up the position of head of the family.
And then that However, Fairy Cen wanted to take away the formation inheritance of the Cen family. In the end, there was a battle within the Cen family.
I heard that Fairy Cen was quite successful. She even injured several people in the face of several foundation-building monks. The man was injured and fled, and has been missing since then."
Hearing this, Chu Ning's brows suddenly raised slightly, and there was a chill in his heart.
At the other table, when the horse-faced monk finished speaking, the old man frowned.
"Where did you hear this news? Fairy Cen has a good reputation in our Qianhuqiandao, so she shouldn't be able to do such a thing?"
"We didn't do it at first. I don’t believe it.” The horse-faced monk continued.
“But later, foundation-building monks from both Chen and Shi families came out and confirmed that they were all at the scene on the day of the incident.
And the shopkeeper of Cen Workshop was also replaced by Cen Xianzi Another foundation-building monk from the Cen family
Fairy Cen indeed never showed up again after that, and gradually everyone began to believe it. "
After hearing this, the old man gave the horse-faced monk a meaningful look.
"What Fellow Daoist Li said is right. Whoever wins in this matter naturally has the final say.
It’s just a pity that Fairy Cen, the darling daughter of heaven, from now on..."
"Brother, be careful what you say. "The horse-faced monk quickly spoke to remind him.
Hearing this, the old man was slightly stunned and stopped talking about this topic.
He turned to ask: "By the way, Taoist friend just said that it has been nearly a month. The Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands are lively, what can I say? "
Chun Ning, who was about to leave directly, simply listened again at this moment.
"I heard that second-order hidden spiritual veins were discovered on four islands in the past month... "
The horse-faced monk just said this, and was immediately interrupted by the skinny man from before.
"Brother Li, you are behind on the news. There are five. Yesterday, a second-order hidden spiritual vein was discovered on Zizhu Island.
I also heard that many foundation-building monks have already reported to the Thousand Island Alliance It is suggested that the Thousand Island Competition should be held earlier than this year. "Why? Oh, those foundation-building monks are eyeing the newly emerged hidden spiritual veins."
...
Chun Ning sat for a while and found that there was no other valuable news, so he stood up and left.
However, he did not go back to Feihong Island directly, but teleported to Caiwu Island.
I have now roughly heard the news about Cen Zijin.
Although Chu Ning knows that most of the previous news may be false.
But in the end, it is possible that Cen Zijin had a dispute with his family and took action, or even escaped with injuries.
For a while, Chu Ning didn’t know where to go to find out more information about the other party.
However, Chu Ning felt that the two people's previous agreement to meet on Caiwu Island might be the only way to find clues at present.
Using the shape-changing spell to transform into the image of "Liu Ping" who used to hand over the talisman every time, Chu Ning walked into a medium-sized restaurant on Caiwu Island.
This sitting lasted for nearly an hour.
Until a certain moment, Chu Ning’s brows suddenly raised slightly.
But at this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the restaurant.
This is a woman who looks to be about forty years old and looks extremely unfamiliar.
As soon as this person entered the restaurant, he looked around.
After seeing Chu Ning, he came straight over with a happy face.
