I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 24: Heavenly Sword Mansion, Young Master Jian

Ning Jiaheng showed a very high talent for cultivation since he was young. Therefore, when he was five years old, he was noticed by a well-known elder and was recruited as his last disciple.

They learn to read and write at the age of three and begin practicing at the age of four. Only the second generation of direct descendants in major sects of practice can enjoy this treatment.

There are many people like Ning Jiaheng who started practicing in their teens.

Ning Jiaheng, who started practicing at the age of five, can be said to have surpassed more than 90% of people with the same background. As for the casual practitioners, they are even less qualified to compare with Ning Jiaheng.

Moreover, it is extremely rare to see children of independent practitioners starting to practice at a very young age.

This is because independent cultivators are worried that their children are too young to be schemed against by others, and that they might reveal their cultivation techniques or other family secrets. Therefore, independent cultivators usually have their children or relatives start practicing after they are 11 or 12 years old.

Children of this age have begun to become sensible, and if they are well educated from a young age, they will also have a strong ability to discern.

In short - it's not easy to cheat.

"We can't kill this man."

The old man of the Ning family also wanted to kill the remnants of the Tan family. After all, every time a letter came, at least fifty Shangxuan seals were required. Although their Ning family was the overlord of Xizhou City, they did not have many Shangxuan seals, and could only collect 10,000 every year.

Even though the number is as high as 10,000, 60% of it will be sent to Ning Jiaheng's master!

Otherwise, how could Ning Jiaheng's practice be so smooth?

Of the remaining 40%, more than half has to be used for gifts, such as ice, charcoal, homesickness gifts, filial piety gifts... After all this, it would be good if there is still one thousand left.

And for these thousand, the Ning family’s disciples also need to practice!
After dividing it left and right, even though he was the head of the family, he could only keep two or three hundred Shangxuan Seals.

Then, a letter would cost at least fifty coins!
How can anyone bear this!

This is to be left for his son to practice.

"Dad, why can't we kill him? My master is Master Wangyue. As his disciple, there are only a few people in this world that I cannot kill!" Ning Jiaheng became unconvinced when he heard what Grandpa Ning said.

And he did have the confidence to say that, although Master Wangyue was not from Tujian Mountain or Tianjian Mansion, he was the top ten sword cultivators in the Jiawu Realm in the past hundred years!

His skills are unfathomable, and he is praised as the cultivator with the greatest hope of breaking the limits of cultivation and becoming a near-immortal after the year when myths began to disappear three hundred years ago.

Therefore, as the closed disciple of Master Wangyue, Ning Jiaheng has the confidence to say this.

"His name is Tan Shuchang, and he is the last son of the former Prime Minister Tan." Old Master Ning sighed quietly. The Ning family was able to rise to prominence thanks to Prime Minister Tan. This is something many people know.

That year, he, who was born in a poor family, entered the officialdom for the first time. Because he offended the son of a powerful noble, he was unable to make a name for himself for nearly ten years. Later, Prime Minister Tan accidentally learned about his situation and transferred him to another position, which led to his rapid rise to prominence.

He can choose not to repay this favor, or pretend not to know about it, but he must act it out for others to see!
Otherwise, would the Dong family still be willing to support their Ning family?
A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future.

"Remnants of the Tan family?" Ning Jiaheng was valued by Old Man Ning, so he was naturally clear about his family's affairs. Hearing this, he also realized the trouble involved.

At this time, Mr. Ning handed the letter in his hand to Ning Jiaheng.

Mr. Ning wanted his son to remember Tan Shuchang's handwriting so that he could give it to him reluctantly when faced with such a request in the future. But Ning Jiaheng took the letter, glanced at it, and then laughed.

"Jiaheng, why are you laughing? Do you have any good ideas?" Old Master Ning couldn't help but ask, because this was the third letter in a row that required the Xuan Seal.

The first time he gave fifty, the second time he gave seventy, and the third time he really didn't want to give it.

It’s not such a big loss to get rid of the plague god!
Moreover, does this Tan have a serious illness that he specifically chooses his Ning family for treatment? Are other families not suitable? If you don't know, tell him and he can help introduce someone!

"My master asked me to go to Tianjian Mansion in Chuzhou because the eldest daughter of the Dong family has reached the marriageable age. I will show this letter to Master Jian. Master Jian is well-known for his hatred of evil!" Ning Jiaheng said with a smile.

"Master, are you going to help you find a matchmaker?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Ning was overjoyed.

Although he had a son who had married into the Dong family, the old daughter was too old, two years older than his son.

Therefore, whenever others mentioned his Ning family, they couldn't help but laugh.

And now, if his youngest son can get married with the eldest daughter of the Dong family, then his Ning family will soon dominate Luozhou. At that time, who would dare to laugh at the Ning family?
"Master didn't dare to guarantee it, he just asked me to try. But, it's just a little girl of 19 years old, isn't it easy to coax her with a few words?" Ning Jiaheng said with great confidence.

"Hahaha, my son is right. You are the closed disciple of Master Wangyue, which is in no way inferior to the eldest daughter of the Dong family. You two are a match made in heaven!" Old Master Ning also had great confidence in his youngest son. He immediately arranged for someone to send Ning Jiaheng to Chuzhou.

Ning Jiaheng did not refuse, because Luozhou is very far away from Chuzhou, separated by two states. He also came to ask his father to arrange the trip, so he specially went home.

There is a strange mountain and sea beast in the Jiawu Realm that can penetrate mountains and rocks. If it encounters a place with water, it can move from one side to the other in an instant.

Based on the characteristics of this mountain and sea beast, someone refined a magical weapon called "Shui Lingzun". When placed in a watery area, it can teleport people across hundreds of miles.

However, using a magical weapon like "Shui Ling Zun" is very costly. Just for Ning Jiaheng to rush from Luozhou to Chuzhou, he spent three hundred Shangxuan Seals!

As soon as he arrived in Chuzhou, Ning Jiaheng rode his flying sword and rushed towards Tianjian Mansion.

Half a day later, Ning Jiaheng arrived at his destination. He first found his elder brother who had married into the family, and then was introduced by his elder brother and was soon received by the Dong family.

Since Ning Jiaheng was not only a relative by marriage but also a disciple of Master Wangyue, the Dong family treated Ning Jiaheng with extremely high etiquette.

However, even so, Ning Jiaheng did not see the eldest daughter of the Dong family.

I only saw that Young Master Sword!
Young Master Jian is the brother-in-law of the current Patriarch of the Dong family. He is also one of the two most talented swordsmen in the Dong family.

The other one is the eldest daughter of the Dong family, who is also the niece of Mr. Jian.

Yes, niece.

Because the current head of the Dong family is Mr. Jian's brother-in-law. However, although he is a son-in-law, the Dong family also gives him enough respect and even supports him to sit on the position of head of the family.

The banquet for Ning Jiaheng ended quickly, and after it ended, Young Master Jian went to the backyard of Dong Mansion immediately.

"Guess who the Ning Jiaheng I just met mentioned? Hehe, it was written to your little lover, but unfortunately, this letter is not written to you."
