"Who wakes up first from a big dream? I know myself in my life. I sleep enough in the spring in the thatched cottage, and the sun gets late outside the window."
At this time, it was already a month after Ning Chen traveled back to Bilan Continent. He was already proficient in refining yellow-level high-grade magic weapons, but the earth fire was not enough to support him in refining Xuan-level magic weapons, so Ning Chen sealed that place.
Chu Huo Vein, and then left several artifact refining classics he transcribed in the cave, and he didn’t know how long it would take for someone destined to show up.
There was nothing going on. At this time, he was wandering around the mountains, collecting some spiritual plants and materials. While heading towards the center of Bilanzhou, he was enjoying himself while watching the mountains and water.
"You Taoist friends are very happy. I have just hunted a jade tiger here. I am preparing to skin and debone it to make a tiger meat feast. Are you interested in joining us?" At this time, a voice came from the left side.
Ning Chen was not surprised either. He had just sensed the aura of this person. He was a monk in the middle stage of Yuan Condensation. However, Ning Chen was not afraid of him. There were many such situations, but everyone was basically wary of each other, and then each
Just go your separate ways.
So Ning Chen ignored him, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually invite him.
As for the Sapphire Tiger mentioned by the other party, its fur color is green and feels as smooth as jade, so it is named Sapphire Tiger. The adult Sapphire Tiger is also a ferocious beast in the early stage of Xuan level, and is ferocious and domineering.
Ning Chen turned around and saw a monk dressed as a hunter walking out of the woods. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a majestic face. He was holding a two to three feet long sapphire tiger in his right hand, dragging a trace on the grass.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I will be blessed. I have some fine wine from the sea here. I am willing to share it with my fellow Taoist." Ning Chen said with a smile.
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, you come from the eastern sea?" asked the monk dressed as a hunter.
"No, I just came back from training there." Ning Chen shook his head.
"That's it." The monk nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "I, Hong Peng of the Aoyuan Sect, heard that my fellow Taoist recited poems that were quite artistic, and I felt itchy and invited you. I hope you can forgive me.
crime."
Hong Peng looks like a rough man, but his speech and behavior are very elegant, and he has quite a bit of the demeanor of those ancient Chinese people who live in seclusion in the countryside in Ning Chen's opinion.
But, Aoyuan Sect?
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, among the many sects that destroyed the Jinhua Sect, there was the Aoyuan Sect.
"Ning Chen, a casual cultivator, met fellow Taoist Hong and had a feast of tiger meat. How could Ning be surprised?" Ning Chen said with a smile. He did not belong to the Jinhua Sect and had no grudge against the Aoyuan Sect.
Hong Peng laughed, and took Ning Chen to a creek not far away. He peeled off the skin of the sapphire tiger, stretched out his hand to draw water from the stream to clean it, and quickly put the sapphire tiger that had been initially condensed into a rack.
Grill on the fire.
"Fellow Daoist Ning is a casual cultivator?" Hong Peng tore off a tiger leg and handed it to Ning Chen, asking with a smile.
"Exactly."
"Fellow Taoist, cultivation is not easy. Now that you have advanced to Ning Yuan, the path of cultivation will not be easy in the future. Have you ever thought about joining a sect and aristocratic family?" Hong Peng tore off another tiger leg and asked while eating.
"Aoyuan Sect?" Ning Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, our Aoyuan sect is also considered a hero of Pingshan Kingdom. If you are interested, you might as well go to Aoyuan Mountain as a guest first." Hong Peng said with a smile.
"You and I met for the first time today and you invited me to join your sect. Isn't that appropriate?" Ning Chen had some questions.
The Aoyuan Sect is a major sect of the Pingshan Kingdom. If you want to join it, you have to go through a strict process. According to what Ning Chen knows about the Dongming Immortal Sect or the Yulong Valley of the same level, you must at least be a monk who knows the basics.
Will invite the other party to become the elder's guest.
With Hong Peng's cultivation, he should be an important elder in the Aoyuan Sect. How could he do the unwise act of inviting a new acquaintance?
Hong Peng shook his head and smiled, "Whether a person is suitable or not has nothing to do with how long we have known him. Just based on a few lines of the Taoist friend's carefree poems, Hong knew who the Taoist friend was."
Of course Hong Peng is talking nonsense, and the Aoyuan Sect is not having a good time now.
They are not the top among the first-class sects in Pingshan Kingdom. In the past, the Jinhua Sect suppressed them, but now the Jinhua Sect has been destroyed, and the Qianyou Sect does not have the strength to suppress the whole country. As a result, various forces in the country are now competing with each other.
Extremely chaotic.
Although the Aoyuan Sect gained a lot in the battle to destroy the Jinhua Sect, this was also the reason why they were targeted. The common people were innocent and guilty, and their strength did not match the resources they had. This was their biggest original sin.
So recently, in addition to having to hunt down the remnants of the Jinhua Sect, the Aoyuan Sect also has to resist the secret joint efforts from the Xiangshan Duan Mansion, the Yungui Sect, and the Blood River Sect, which can be said to be miserable.
"They must have already discussed it, let's deal with our Aoyuan Sect together first!" Thinking of this, Hong Peng cursed in his heart, how can it save effort to focus on one family by targeting each other?
Therefore, the Aoyuan Sect now urgently needs to improve its strength, especially the backbone of the Ning Yuan Stage.
In addition to spending a lot of resources to promote talented disciples within the sect, it also recruits casual practitioners who are wandering in the cultivation world.
This was also the reason why Hong Peng and Ning Chen invited him not long after they met. One was that Ning Chen gave him a really good feeling, and the other was that the Aoyuan Sect no longer had time to investigate slowly.
Hong Peng was talking nonsense, and Ning Chen was naturally not fooled so easily, let alone visiting the Aoyuan Sect as a guest.
"Fellow Taoist, you are too praised. Ning is a loose cultivator. He is used to being carefree, but he has no intention of joining any sect. Don't blame me, fellow Taoist." Ning Chen said with a smile, the best answer is to refuse decisively.
"Okay, it's Hong Menglang." Hong Peng shook his head and smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect Ning Chen to directly refuse, not even agreeing to be a guest of the Aoyuan Sect.
Ning Chen smiled, poured another glass of wine for Hong Peng, and asked with a smile, "Before next year, I went to the sea area to practice. At that time, I heard that the Jinhua Sect was destroyed and the Qianyou Sect was re-established, but I don't know what happens now?"
"It's still like that. We are still hunting down the remnants of the Jinhua Sect. It is estimated that there will be no changes in a hundred years. Fortunately, most of the Jinhua Sect's power is at the mountain gate, not like the Qingyun Kingdom's Xitian Sect." Hong Peng shook his head,
He also said somewhat happily.
Xitian Sect has countless secret sites. Qingyun Sect spent thousands of years just hunting down the remnants and exploring the sites. However, they still haven't discovered them all, so Ning Chen finally made a big mistake.
"Didn't the important figures of Jinhua Sect be killed?" Ning Chen asked.
"It's not that easy. Lin Chong is not a simple person. In the end, many elders and direct disciples took the opportunity to escape, and few of them were found in the past year." Hong Peng shook his head and said, these are not secrets, there is nothing to hide.
"That's it." Ning Chen nodded and said. It seems that Mo Tianhong and Lin Sang'er were not killed. Otherwise, Hong Peng would definitely tell them if they killed such talented people who were promising the golden elixir.
