Chapter 1169 The Frightened Han Li

After his "Zhutian Trading Company" was on the right track and Mo Juren's three daughters were arranged, Suning immediately returned to Huangfeng Valley.

The gains from this long journey were truly enormous. Next, I will need to stay in Huangfeng Valley for a while, and I can study the formations and alchemy techniques by the way.

As soon as Su Ning returned to Huangfeng Valley, he went to Uncle Wu to report that he was safe. "Uncle Wu, I'm back."

"Good! Good! I'm glad you came back safely." As expected, Uncle Wu looked at Su Ning who had returned safely with a face full of surprise.

"Uncle Master, I'm planning to go into seclusion for a few days. Can you help me find an unused cave?"

"Oh? Are you planning to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"No! It's just that I gained a lot from this trip, and I want to retreat for a few days to calm down."

"It's a bit troublesome! You should know that Qi Refining disciples don't have the right to a private cave. Only Foundation Establishment disciples can open their own cave."

"This... then forget it."

At this moment, Su Ning suddenly remembered that Huangfeng Valley did have such a rule. The hero Han Li in the anime was building his foundation in a rented alchemy room, so he realized that he was indeed making things difficult for Uncle Wu.

"Junior Brother Su, I suddenly remembered something. There's a cave abode that was opened up by a fellow Daoist in the past. However, it has not been used since he passed away. If you don't mind, how about you temporarily go into seclusion there?"

"No, no, no."

"That's great! I'll take you there now and help you set up a formation outside the cave so that no one will come over and disturb your cultivation."

"Uncle Wu, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to be helping me all the time."

"polite."

Su Ning knew that the reason why the cave of this fallen monk was abandoned was that the foundation-building monks in Huangfeng Valley felt taboo and would rather find a suitable place to build their own caves.

But after Uncle Wu brought Su Ning to this abandoned cave, Su Ning immediately knew another reason. The spiritual energy here was so thin, and he realized that it was no wonder that so many people disliked this place.

Then, Uncle Wu waved his hand casually at the entrance of the cave, and several flags emitting spiritual light were inserted around and disappeared. Then, an invisible spiritual energy ripple appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Then Uncle Wu took out a formation plate and handed it to Su Ning, explaining, "Junior Brother Su, this formation is called the Psychedelic Five Elements Formation. As long as you hold this formation plate, you can control this formation."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Su Ning said with gratitude after taking the formation plate handed over by Uncle Wu.

"Alright! You better clean up, I'm going to go out on duty."

"Uncle Wu, when you come out of seclusion this time, I will treat you to a drink."

"Haha, okay! But let's wait until you successfully build your foundation. Only then will the wine be considered wedding wine."

"Okay! Uncle Wu, I will definitely not let you down."

Suning had not expected that there would be kind-hearted people in the world of immortal cultivation. You know, the interpersonal relationships in "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" are too sinister, and Suning believes that one must be sinister in order to survive, so the enthusiasm of Uncle Wu seems even more precious.

Then Suning used the "dust removal technique" with a wave of his hand, and the cave that had been abandoned for a long time became clean and tidy again. Then Suning took out a cushion and began to meditate and practice.

In fact, for Suning now, all kinds of scarce materials for cultivating immortals are available, so he did not encounter any difficulties when practicing.

However, Suning did not want to enter the foundation-building stage so quickly, because there was a "bloody trial" waiting for him next, so this time in seclusion he would focus all his energy on formations and alchemy.

In addition, "Zhu Tian Trading Company" has helped him get the complete set of "Body Refining Art". He also wants to practice "Body Refining Art" directly to the fifth level. At that time, his strong physical fitness will allow him to absorb other people's spiritual power and cultivation at will.

Then Suning took out the "Basics of Alchemy", "Basics of Weapon Refining" and "Basics of Formation" purchased from "Zhu Tian Trading Company", and then sat there and slowly studied formations and alchemy.

When talking about the book "Basics of Formations", we have to mention Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao. These two formation masters have been recruited by "Zhu Tian Trading Company". All the formations refined by the couple have become best-sellers of "Zhu Tian Trading Company".

You should know that time is the least valuable in the world of cultivating immortals. Suning's first retreat took four years, and at the same time, it also laid a foundation for him in alchemy, weapon refining and formation. In the future, he can allocate more resources to these areas.

Over the past four years, Su Ning had wasted a lot of materials for refining medicine and refining equipment in the cave. At the same time, he had also refined a lot of elixirs for strengthening the body and replenishing the essence during the Qi Refining period. In addition, he asked the "Zhu Tian Trading Company" to collect the recipe for the "Ding Yan Pill" and various medicinal materials, and then refined a large amount of the "Ding Yan Pill" before Han Li.

Suning was naturally the first test subject for the drug. He felt that his appearance had indeed become more handsome, and he would definitely be successful in picking up girls in the future.

……

Suning's first retreat was interrupted by Qianji Hall, because Qianji Hall had a lot of tasks to issue recently, and all the low-level Qi Refining cultivators in Huangfeng Valley were fully booked. At the last check, they found that there was still one who was hiding away. This made the manager of Qianji Hall very angry.

"Bang bang bang..."

The violent commotion woke up Su Ning, who was in seclusion studying alchemy. He ran out confused and looked at the old man in front of him, "Uncle Master, I am Su Ning, a cultivator in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage from Huangfeng Valley."

"Hmph! I know who you are, so you don't need to introduce yourself." The old man in front of him had a very bad expression and tone. His messy hair and red eyes showed that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Hmm? I wonder what advice Uncle Master has for me?"

"Su Ning, you joined the Yellow Maple Valley four years ago. Have you ever done a mission for the sect?"

"This……"

"No? That means you haven't made any contributions to the sect. Why would Huangfeng Valley provide you with convenience for no reason?"

"Uncle Master is right! Thank you for your guidance."

The old man then introduced himself and tossed a jade slip to Su Ning. "I am the manager of the Qianji Hall in the Yellow Maple Valley. You can just call me Uncle Yin. I have never seen a Qi Refining cultivator as lazy as you. We have been issued too many tasks recently, and you can't hide away any longer. This is the task assigned to you by the Qianji Hall."

"Thank you, Uncle Yin."

"Hmph!" Uncle Yin from Qianji Hall looked at Su Ning angrily, then turned around, stepped on the flying sword and left.

At this time, Su Ning was naturally feeling a little amused and helpless. He put the jade slip on his forehead to check the contents and found that he was actually sent to Tainan Valley Market to temporarily maintain public order because the Tainan Valley Ascension Conference, which was held every ten years, was about to be held.

Moreover, Su Ning also remembered that the male protagonist Han Li was coming, but he didn't know what Han Li would do without the Huangfeng Valley Ascension Order. Presumably, with Han Li's four-element pseudo-spiritual roots, he could only go to the arena.

Then, Su Ning returned to the cave to collect his belongings. Finally, he put away the formation that Uncle Wu had lent him. Then, he boarded his top-grade flying sword and came to Uncle Wu. "Uncle Wu, my nephew Su Ning greets you."

"Junior Brother Su, have you come out of seclusion?"

Su Ning first returned the borrowed formation to Uncle Wu, then looked at Uncle Wu in front of him and explained, "Yes! This is the formation you lent me, Uncle Wu. Next, I'm going to Tainan Valley to complete a mission."

"That's fine! There have been a lot of tedious things happening in Huangfeng Valley recently, and the tasks in Qianji Hall have already been fully booked. It would be a good idea for you to come out and try to do some tasks." Uncle Wu, who took over the magic circle, explained with a smile.

"Yes! Uncle Wu."

Then Suning went directly to Qianji Hall to meet up with other cultivators. He didn't expect that the one leading Huang Fenggu's team this time was actually a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment Stage. He suddenly remembered that it was Nangong Wan who represented Yanyue Sect to go to the Tainan meeting.

Su Ning, who had been in seclusion for four years, suddenly became curious. He wondered what the heroine Nangong Wan looked like, and he couldn't help but want to get Nangong Wan's first blood before Han Lao Mo.

After all the cultivators who were going to Tainan Valley Market to complete the mission gathered together, the cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment Stage who led the team released a spiritual boat magic weapon, and six Qi Refining Stage cultivators including Su Ning immediately jumped on it.

The flying magic weapon, the Shenxingzhou, flew very fast and soon brought everyone to the Tainan Valley Market. However, Suning did not go to the "Zhutian Trading Company" immediately. After all, his current responsibility was to be temporarily responsible for the public security of the Tainan Association.

As expected, there were many more independent cultivators from Tainan Valley during the Tainan Conference. They all looked at the Huangfeng Valley clothes worn by Su Ning and others with envy, mainly because the independent cultivators who had no one to rely on really wanted to join the sect to practice.

However, Suning had been searching for the male protagonist Han Li. He was really curious about this ruthless killer, and he also wanted to see if he was really an ordinary person.

However, after walking around, Suning did not see Han Li. Instead, he saw Senior Brother Lu and Chen Qiaoqian, who were known as "Good Corpse Brothers". He found that Senior Brother Lu was really arrogant, and Chen Qiaoqian looked very pure and gentle. Suning could not help but sigh that she was indeed a great beauty in the world of immortal cultivation.

Chen Qiaoqian, who had successfully joined the Yellow Maple Valley, introduced herself with a smile, "Senior Brother, we are both new disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley. I am Chen Qiaoqian, and his name is Lu Bing."

"Well, Junior Sister Chen, Junior Brother Lu, my name is Su Ning, you can just call me Senior Brother Su. Welcome to join the Yellow Maple Valley."

"Thank you! Senior Brother Su, are you a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage?"

"Yes! You can move freely here at Tainan Club. We will gather the day after tomorrow and set off back to Huangfeng Valley. I also suggest you visit the Zhutian Commercial Bank here. They have all kinds of supplies for cultivation."

"Okay! Thank you, Senior Brother Su, for the reminder."

Suning naturally noticed that the arrogant Lu Bing was very disgusted with him, but when he thought that the other party's life was already in the countdown, the unhappy Suning just laughed it off.

Although he did not find the male protagonist Han Li at the Spirit Testing Platform, Su Ning did not give up the search and went to those arenas. Sure enough, he saw Han Li fighting hard on the arena.

Looking at Han Li on the ring who used all his low-level spells but finally won by relying on his mortal kung fu, Su Ning couldn't help laughing out loud. It was not easy to see Han the old demon suffer a defeat.

"Hmph! Is my brother Han Li funny?" An unhappy voice suddenly sounded.

"Huh?" Su Ning turned around, bewildered, and found that the other person was a burly young man. Uncertainly, he asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Zhang Tie, and I'm the good brother of the winner of the arena. We both come from the Qixuan Sect in Jingzhou, Yue State."

"Oh? Then why don't you get in the ring?"

"I'm not a cultivator."

"Zhang Tie, you said your brother's name is Han Li?"

"That's right! Isn't my brother awesome?"

“It’s really good.”

After making sure that Han Li did not miss the opportunity to cultivate immortality because of his appearance, Su Ning turned around and left the arena with peace of mind.

However, Su Ning did not expect that just a few words with Zhang Tie would cause the male protagonist Han Li to be frightened. He felt that the look in Su Ning's eyes when he looked at him was really uncomfortable.

Dragging his severely injured body off the stage, Han Li looked at Zhang Tie in confusion and asked, "Zhang Tie, who were you talking to just now?"

"I don't know him! But judging from the clothes he's wearing, he should be a disciple of Huangfeng Valley." Zhang Tie scratched his head foolishly and guessed.

"Trouble! I originally wanted to join the Yellow Maple Valley."

"Huh? Han Li, does this have any effect on you?"

"It's hard to explain! I just felt that the way he looked at me was very strange, as if he could see me clearly from inside out. It was really uncomfortable."

"I find it strange too! When he saw you win in the ring, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. I really don't understand what his laughter means."

"Zhang Tie, I've already won the arena today, which gives me the opportunity to join a cultivation sect. However, I have a bad impression of this cultivator from the Yellow Maple Valley, so I'm planning to join another sect."

"Oh? Which sect?"

"The Hidden Moon Sect."

"Hey, good morning, Yanyue Sect! I just saw that the Foundation Establishment stage girl from Yanyue Sect is doing well."

"Huh? Zhang Tie, what's going on in your head?"

"Hehe, Han Li, since you have now entered the world of immortal cultivation, let's part ways in Tainan Valley. After all, I will always be just an ordinary mortal."

"So, do you have any plans for the future?"

“Actually, I followed you to search for Tainan Valley because I was worried that you would be in danger outside.

Now that I see you've successfully joined a cultivation sect, I'm ready to start my own life. I just saw a job posting at the Zhutian Trading Company in Tainan Valley, and I'm ready to go try my luck there."

"Alright! I'll go with you."
