Immortality: My talent for cultivating immortals can be refreshed.

Chapter 613: Chu Ning? Lord of Changkong Palace?

Chu Ning, who had not been seen for many years, suddenly appeared in front of them, which surprised Chang Lingshan and Xi Wenxia. They were stunned for a moment.

"Two, long time no see!"

It wasn't until Chu Ning's gentle voice rang out that the two came back to their senses.

There was a hint of surprise in Chang Lingshan's eyes, while Xi Wenxia's cold and beautiful face was full of surprise.

Chu Ning did not deliberately reveal his cultivation aura at this time, so Chang Lingshan did not pay much attention to Chu Ning's cultivation and subconsciously asked:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you have also been invited to Changkong Palace..."

I had only said half of my words when I felt something was wrong.

He could already vaguely sense that Chu Ning's cultivation was higher than Wu Lingwei's.

Combined with what Wu Lingwei had just said, a thought flashed through Chang Lingshan's mind.

"Friend Chu, could it be..."

Compared to Chang Lingshan, Xi Wenxia's cultivation is lower.

At this moment, it was impossible to accurately perceive the cultivation levels of Chu Ning and Wu Lingwei, and he heard Chang Lingshan say that Chu Ning had also been invited.

The look of surprise that had just appeared on his face suddenly disappeared completely.

What replaced it was fear.

"If I am really favored by some Yuanying old monster in Changkong Palace, I won't implicate Senior Chu, right?
Or did Changkong Palace already know how much Senior Chu has taken care of me, so they specifically asked Senior Chu to explain it to me this time?"

As this thought flashed through her mind, Xi Wenxia became even more frightened.

She immediately stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between Chang Lingshan and Chu Ning.

"Senior Chu, why are you here too?
Let’s go!”

When Chu Ning heard that the first thing Xi Wenxia said to him was to ask him to leave, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He turned his head and looked at Wu Lingwei, somewhat curious about what this woman had said.

At this time, Wu Lingwei shook her head and smiled at Chu Ning:

"Palace Master, I didn't explain it clearly to you two Taoist friends before, I'm afraid you two may have misunderstood."

As soon as Wu Lingwei said this, the expressions of Chang Lingshan and Xi Wenxia changed drastically.

Chang Lingshan looked at Chu Ning with astonishment and confusion.

Xi Wenxia's gaze was much more complicated, changing from fear to confusion, mixed with a bit of surprise and puzzlement.

At this moment, both of them looked at Chu Ning in a daze.

Chu Ning? The Lord of Changkong Palace?

Chu Ning took in the surprised and astonished expressions of the two people, and at this moment he smiled.

It feels normal.

Even if he were in my place, he would probably be stunned for a long time.

"Palace Master, you two are old friends, so I will take my leave now."

Wu Lingwei spoke again at this time, and finally woke the two of them up.

After waiting for her to walk out of Tianchang Pavilion, Chang Lingshan finally came to his senses.

Then he immediately bowed his hands and slightly prepared to salute.

However, just as I bent my waist a little, I found that I could not bend it any further.

At the same time, Chu Ning's laughter came to my ears.

"Brother Chang, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why do we seem so distant now?"

Even Chang Lingshan couldn't perform the etiquette, let alone Xi Wenxia.

The two of them stood there and looked at Chu Ning at a loss.

"It's a long story, I'll talk to you slowly later."

As Chu Ning spoke, he looked at the two of them.

"Brother Chang has been promoted to the late Jindan stage for many years. It seems that if there is an opportunity, it will not be difficult to make further progress. Congratulations."

When Chang Lingshan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Senior Chu, thank you for your compliment. Your improvement in cultivation is truly impressive.

When I first met you, you were only in the early stage of Golden Core, but now you are already in the Nascent Soul stage..."

Having said this, Chang Lingshan paused slightly.

Although he could see that Chu Ning's cultivation was higher than Wu Lingwei's, he was not sure at what level.

I was afraid that I might say something wrong accidentally.

Chu Ning took over and said:

"I am now in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and there is still some time to go before the late stage."

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Chang Lingshan felt a little dazed.

In just over a hundred years, Chu Ning went directly from the early stage of Golden Core to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Such an ability is truly unbelievable.

From this perspective, it doesn't seem so surprising that Chu Ning can become the master of Changkong Palace.

Chu Ning then turned his gaze to Xi Wenxia again.

Compared to the past, Xi Wenxia now looks a bit more mature. However, because she established her foundation early, her appearance has not changed very obviously. But her cold and elegant look is even stronger than before.

What really caught Chu Ning's attention was that this woman's cultivation had already reached the early stage of Golden Core.

Although it had just been a while since he formed the elixir, Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh.

"It's formed into a pill, not bad, it seems that you have suffered a lot in these years."

"Senior, I..."

Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Xi Wenxia, ​​who had always been cold and elegant since her parents' death, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

All the hardships and grievances a person has experienced in recent years seem to suddenly come to mind.

But she was already a Jindan cultivator after all, and with Chang Lingshan by her side, she immediately restrained herself.

"Thanks to the seniors who laid the foundation for me, I have had some opportunities over the years."

Feeling the slight fluctuations in Xi Wenxia's emotions, Chu Ning nodded slightly, and without going to the main seat above, he sat down next to the two of them.

"I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. You heard me right just now. I am the new master of Changkong Palace that you heard outside."

Chu Ning admitted it in person at this time, and Xi Wenxia and Chang Lingshan both listened carefully.

“The truth is not that complicated. When the Grand Void Abyss was opened, I was unexpectedly the first to arrive, and that’s when I came into contact with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Changkong Palace.

In fact, I had joined the Changkong Palace a long time ago, but in recent years I had either been practicing in the palace or traveling to other places.

I just returned to Beihan recently, so I haven't contacted you guys."

Chu Ning had discussed this statement with Lu Ziyu, Ren Heng and others.

This can be regarded as the unified statement of Changkong Palace to the outside world.

"The old master of Changkong Palace passed away a hundred years ago, and because there is no suitable candidate, the palace has been vacant ever since.

After I returned to Beihan this time, my two senior brothers noticed that my cultivation had improved rapidly.

Plus, my two senior brothers are going to practice in seclusion, so I am going to take over the position of hall master."

Chu Ning's explanation was very brief, and in fact there was no need to explain it in more detail.

Both of them had a look of realization on their faces at this moment.

"So that's how it is!" Chang Lingshan sighed, looked at Chu Ning in amazement, and laughed:

“Senior Chu not only has great cultivation, but also great fortune.

The two hall masters chose to go into seclusion and let the senior be the hall master. From now on, the Changkong Hall will be run by the senior.

It is really cause for celebration!
It's a pity that I didn't bring any wine, otherwise I would have had a few drinks with you!"

"There will be opportunities in the future." Chu Ning responded with a smile, and his words revealed his agreement with Chang Lingshan's statement.

Chang Lingshan was a man of great character, having been in the Fairy City of Iceland for many years. He immediately understood the meaning behind this.

I couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

"I accidentally made friends with this brother Chu back then, but I never thought that he would have such achievements. The person in charge of Changkong Palace is the top existence in Beihan.

It is a great blessing for Chang to be able to make friends with him. "

Just as Chang Lingshan was thinking this, Chu Ning also asked:

"Brother Chang Dao, Wen Xia, your cultivation has improved a lot. How have you been doing in Beihan these years?"

"I can only describe it in four words: calm and peaceful." Chang Lingshan replied with a smile.

“When I met Senior several decades ago, I was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

These years he had been practicing as before, and thirty years ago he was lucky enough to advance to the late stage of Golden Core.

It’s a pity that my talent is not as good as my predecessors, so it will be difficult to move forward.”

Chu Ning smiled after hearing this, and said meaningfully:
"It's not necessarily that difficult. If there is a chance, Fellow Daoist Chang can make another step forward and advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

After hearing this, Chang Lingshan felt something in his heart. When he looked at Chu Ning again, he found that he had already looked at Xi Wenxia.

"Wenxia, ​​have you been practicing in Iceland Fairy City all these years?
When we parted, you were close to the middle stage of foundation building, and now you are in the early stage of golden elixir.

It seems there is some chance.”

When Xi Wenxia heard Chu Ning ask this, she immediately showed an expression of gratitude.

“Thanks to my senior who taught me the art of talisman making, I was able to gain a foothold in Iceland Fairy City and use the talisman making technique to obtain a lot of cultivation resources.

In addition, the younger generation also went to places like the Snow Peak Mountains and the Boundless Sea, and gained something every time.

It was not until eight years ago that I succeeded in forming the elixir by chance. "

Chu Ning nodded slightly. Beihan's talisman-making technique was not very popular, so the talisman-making technique that he passed on to Xi Wenxia was naturally top-notch in this Iceland Fairy City.

It seems that this woman is very diligent in both making talismans and practicing.

And from Xi Wenxia's words, this woman did not just practice cultivation, but also often went to the Snow Peak Mountains and the Boundless Sea for training.

However, Xi Wenxia's words were vague, so Chu Ning naturally had no idea whether she had actually experienced any fighting or not.

"Fellow Daoist Xi is still being modest."

At this moment, Chang Lingshan responded with a smile.

“Although Fellow Daoist Xi has only been promoted to the Golden Core stage for a short time, I have heard some things about him.

Whether in the Boundless Sea or the Snow Peak Mountains, Fellow Daoist Xi has a record of killing monsters of the same level, and can be said to be a woman who is as good as a man. "

When Chu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xi Wenxia again.

Even Chang Lingshan said so, it seems that she has indeed gained a lot of experience.

This made Chu Ning even more satisfied.

After confirming that both of them were still independent cultivators, Chu Ning said to them:
“Actually, I asked Elder Wu to call you here this time because, on the one hand, I wanted to catch up with all of you old friends after I came back.

On the other hand, I don’t have much time in Changkong Palace, and there is no one here who is trustworthy. I would like to invite you to join Changkong Palace to help me.

What do you think? "

Chu Ning stated his intention directly.

The main reason why he came to Changkong Palace to serve as the Palace Master was because he was attracted by the resources here.

And judging from the contact over the past half month, this place is indeed an ideal place.

The next step is to create the resources and environment required for the second level of Chaos Immortal Art by myself, which the Jiuhua Sect cannot provide.

However, this northern cold land is extremely suitable.

Therefore, what he needs most now is a good environment for cultivation.

However, Chu Ning was also very clear that he would take the position of Palace Master, even if Lu Ziyu, Ren Heng and others seemed willing on the surface.

It is inevitable that there will be some little thoughts behind the scenes.

In order to truly not affect one's own cultivation, one must truly take control of the Changkong Palace.

It becomes a natural thing to cultivate one's own direct lineage.

However, although he told Chang Lingshan and the other man that he had joined Changkong Palace a long time ago, he was actually parachuted in.

He was worried about looking for someone from within the organization, so he thought of Chang Lingshan and Xi Wenxia.

Xi Wenxia had helped him do a lot of things before. She was talented and loyal and grateful to him.

Now he has advanced to the early stage of Golden Core, which is really an ideal choice.

Chang Lingshan is also a good candidate. He has been in Iceland Fairy City for many years and has had many interactions with the Jindan monks in Iceland Fairy City and even in Changkong Palace.

Although she is not as versatile as Wu Lingwei, she also has a wide circle of friends.

More importantly, Chu Ning has known Chang Lingshan for more than 30 years and is quite trustful of Chang Lingshan's character.

Moreover, the two of them had been through life and death several times, and Chu Ning believed that Chang Lingshan still had some gratitude towards him.

He expressed his intention to look for the two people at this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, Xi Wenxia stood up directly.

"Senior, I am willing to follow you!"

When she said this, Xi Wenxia's expression was even a little excited.

For Xi Wenxia, ​​what happened today was really unexpected.

At first, he was worried that Changkong Palace might do something bad to him, or even that some Yuanying old monster had taken a fancy to him.

But he unexpectedly discovered that there was no old monster at all, but Chu Ning whom he had not seen for many years.

Back then, she took the initiative to propose to be Chu Ning's concubine and wanted to follow Chu Ning, but was rejected by Chu Ning.

Unexpectedly, decades later, when I met Chu Ning again, I was directly recruited by Chu Ning.

This feeling of joy that spread from earth to heaven made her particularly excited at this moment.

"it is good!"

Chu Ning smiled and nodded.

He expected Xi Wenxia to agree, but Chu Ning was still very satisfied with her quick and decisive decision.

He turned to look at Chang Lingshan.

The latter's face was not as excited as Xi Wenxia's, but it was also full of smiles.

"The Palace Master is so kind to me. If I don't agree, I would be a little ungrateful."

Chu Ning smiled when he heard this, and bowed to Chang Lingshan and said:

"Brother Chang is so straightforward. I would like to thank you very much!"

Chang Lingshan agreed so readily that Chu Ning was indeed a little surprised.

Little did they know that after Chang Lingshan reached the late Jindan stage, he already knew how difficult it was to further improve his cultivation.

The reason why he did not join Changkong Palace before was that he did not really agree with some of the practices of Changkong Palace.

Secondly, if one joins midway, his status in such a powerful force is actually not high.

But now that Chu Ning is here, he naturally has no worries.

And Chu Ning just happened to extend an olive branch to him, so why wouldn't he take it?

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Chang Lingshan immediately stood up and bowed:
"Palace Master, you are too polite. I am very grateful that you can remember our friendship and think highly of me."

"Let's not be polite."

Chu Ning smiled and waved his hand at this time.

"I have just explained the reason why I asked you to come here, and I will naturally make some arrangements for you.

Brother Chang, you are already in the late Jindan stage. When the time comes, you will be appointed as the guardian of this palace. The power in your hands will definitely satisfy you."

Chang Lingshan was naturally full of gratitude.

At this time, Chu Ning looked at Xi Wenxia again.

"You are only in the early stage of the Golden Core. If you are appointed as the guardian, others may not be convinced..."

Speaking of this, Chu Ning paused and smiled:

“But if you were my direct disciple, I think no one would object.

What do you think, Wenxia?
