Chapter 276 Letter From an Old Friend
Ten years later.
Chu Ning walked out of the Dan Pagoda. Even though he had gotten the answer he wanted, he continued to read the jade slips in the Dan Pagoda's library for several years until the ten-year period expired.
It is a rare opportunity to enter the Alchemy Pavilion to read the jade slips.
If other monks are in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, they may be anxious to break through the realm. After all, their life span is about to reach the advanced stage.
But for Chu Ning, there is no worry about life span. Reading more jade slips will give you more insights.
Knowledge is power, and sometimes knowledge can save lives.
The jade slips in the Alchemy Pavilion are very rich. They not only introduce the forces in each domain, but also describe the power of some powerful spells of some sects.
"Ten Thousand Jue Slips" and "Ten Thousand Instruments Slips", in the remaining few years, he read these two jade slips.
The "Ten Thousand Jue Slips" records tens of thousands of spells. There are no spells but just an explanation of the power. However, it has been of endless benefit to Chu Ning. If he encounters an opponent who uses these spells in the future, he will be able to use them as soon as possible. be on guard against.
"Slips of Ten Thousand Weapons" records tens of thousands of spiritual weapons, magic weapons and primitive weapons in the monk world. There are fewer primitive weapons, there are about a thousand kinds of magic weapons, and the rest are spiritual weapons.
"In Mr. Jin Yong's book, Wang Yuyan has read all the martial arts secrets in the Langhuan Jade Cave, and has the ability to see the origin of anyone's martial arts. She should be able to do some of this since she has read so many techniques."
After ten years of studying, I have gained a lot.
Chu Ning decided to reward herself and went to Yuxian Tower.
On the street, Chu Ning strolled around, listening to music. Don't be too anxious. Many inexperienced people are always in a hurry. Their hurried steps and lowered heads make it easy to tell where they are going. .
"Like me, as long as I don't enter the gate of Yuxian Tower, no one will think that I am going to Yuxian Tower."
Chu Ning whispered, and after crossing the street corner, Yuxian Tower was clearly visible.
But the next moment, two young people were kicked out by the clerk at a medicine pavilion in front.
"Deacon Li, what you are doing is going too far. This store is the jurisdiction that my brothers and I acquired from the sect with their own contribution. It will expire in twenty years, so why are you driving us away now?" .”
"The sect has increased the contribution points required to contract the store, and the contribution points you two brothers have are no longer enough."
"The sect has increased its contribution points. That should happen later. My brothers and I were contracted forty years ago, and the contract they signed for the sect was also for fifty years. Why should we take back our jurisdiction and give it to Li Qing?" .”
The young man in yellow clothes on the left said angrily: "Deacon Li is unfair. My two brothers will report to the sect and my master."
The old man at the door of the shop had no expression on his face when he heard this, but Li Qing, a young man next to him, sneered: "You still want to complain to your master? I'm afraid you don't know that your master failed to break through to the late stage of Nascent Soul. , There is not much life left.”
"impossible!"
Upon hearing Li Qing's words, the man in yellow immediately refuted: "Li Qing, how dare you disrespect my master!"
"Hmph, if Elder Shu really breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, you are really a fool to think that I can take over this store."
Li Qing asked in return, causing the man in yellow to fall silent.
yes.
When he and his junior brother left the sect, the master had been in the middle stage of Yuanying for many years, and he was counting on time to break through to the late stage of Yuanying.
If the breakthrough is not successful, the master's lifespan will indeed be limited at his age.
But if the master breaks through, he will communicate with himself and his junior brother. How can he suddenly break through after everything goes well?
"Don't think I'm bullying you. Without Elder Shu, would you two be able to take over this medicine shop?"
There was a sarcastic smile on Li Qing's lips: "The sect has several shops with the same contribution points. Why can you brothers get the shop in Qudan City because you have a good master?"
At the street entrance, Chu Ning smiled after hearing these conversations. He saw the anger of the two brothers, but he had no intention of intervening.
Although the young man standing at the door of the medicine shop behaves like a villain, this man is right about something. He relied on the support of the master of the sect to get such a good store. I am afraid that the other disciples of the sect also feel the same. Full of anger.
In his previous life, he had dealt with many local bosses and had seen too many situations like this. The reason why these local bosses were able to get started relied on their family's local power, the connections and backers behind them.
Once their backers fail, these bosses will also be unlucky. Everyone will push against them, and all their properties will be embezzled by others.
From the perspective of the family members of these bosses, those who use their power to oppress others are extremely hateful. But when we first started our business, who could give them justice to the other people who were oppressed by these bosses?
When doing business, you either have to be honest and avoid any crooked ways, so that even if you encounter unfair suppression, you can still have a place to appeal.
But he started his business by relying on this method. It can only be said that reincarnation is inevitable.
It was like this when doing business in the previous life, and it is the same when practicing cultivation in this life.
Chu Ning believed that if he were the two senior brothers, if he knew that his master's life was short, he would either find a new backer or give up the benefits gained from relying on his master in advance. Only in this way can he save himself.
Chu Ning didn't intend to care about this matter, and walked directly into the gate of Yuxian Tower.
…
…
Three months later, Chu Ning returned to Danshan Sect.
"Junior Brother Chu, there is a letter from you."
As soon as he returned to the sect, a senior brother sent him a jade slip.
"The East China Sea is calm, Tang Xiaoniu wrote to herself."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up, but her heart felt guilty. She had just returned from Yuxian Tower and received a letter from Tang Xiaoniu. Even though Tang Xiaoniu was not here, she still felt guilty.
Ashamed, it’s so inappropriate.
How could he feel guilty so easily? It seemed that he had not experienced enough. This thing was not discovered on the spot. Even if Tang Xiaoniu stood in front of him, he still had a clear conscience.
"Thank you, senior brother."
After taking the jade slip, Chu Ning walked towards Nian Tangshan while checking the contents of the jade slip with her mind.
After a few breaths, Chu Ning stopped, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and returned.
"Senior brother, when was this jade slip sent?"
"A month ago."
"A month ago?"
Chu Ning frowned and said nothing more, but instead of thinking about Tangshan again, she turned back and walked out of the mountain gate.
"Senior Brother Shu should be able to hold on for a month."
This jade slip was written to him by Senior Brother Shu. Chu Ning was full of gratitude to Senior Brother Shu. When he first came to Danyu, Senior Brother Shu helped him a lot. Even the treasures of Lian Ying were bought by him.
It was just that Senior Brother Shu later left the Xinhuo Palace and disappeared, and Senior Brother Shu was able to know that he had joined Danshan Sect, so he probably knew about the rookie competition that year.
"It can't be such a coincidence. The two young men we met at the beginning are the disciples of Senior Brother Shu, right?"
