I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 239 I'm not qualified to teach him

"You're saying Wan Ye gave you this sect token?"

Leng Ran was skeptical.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ning recounted in detail how she met Wan Ye to Leng Ran.

Furthermore, he recounted many details, including the secrets of the Yanlu Sect that Wanye had previously told him.

"Senior Wanye said that the Yanlu Sect's treasure trove is now in your hands. He asked me to come to you, take it away, and then rebuild the sect."

Xu Ning explained the situation clearly.

With everything explained, Leng Ran's expression finally softened.

Because the details Xu Ning described were very accurate and detailed, and the logic was completely sound, it was impossible for it to be fabricated.

Moreover, the sect's token is the most compelling evidence.

"Manno is still alive..."

Leng Ran and Wan Ye did not have a close relationship before.

All she knew was that after handing over the Yanlu Sect's treasure trove to her, the former sect leader, Li Shengmao, told her that the sect's token had been taken away by Wan Ye.

After Li Shengmao's death, Leng Ran also searched for Wan Ye's whereabouts.

The last thing she learned was that Wan Ye was being hunted down and had fled Wansheng Prefecture; his fate was unknown.

"Wan Ye is alive, and he has even chosen a successor in Yuanbei..."

This time, Leng Ran's gaze towards Xu Ning no longer held hostility.

She had misunderstood Xu Ning, believing him to be a member of the Danhai Demon Sect.

The Danhai Demon Sect's methods are unpredictable. If you are targeted by them and get caught up in any incident, it will be very difficult to escape.

This is why Leng Ran was so wary of Xu Ning before.

However, now that we've figured it out, Xu Ning is from the Yanlu Sect, so he's one of us.

"Xu Ning, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to know, you clearly came from Yuanbei, so how did you learn the core Dao Realm alchemy techniques of the Danhai Demon Lord?"

Leng Ran voiced the question that had been on her mind.

"The Demon Lord of Danhai left behind a secret realm inheritance in Yuanbei. I passed the inheritance test and thus obtained the Danhai Danjing."

Xu Ning didn't hide anything and told the truth.

Xu Ning could sense that Leng Ran was very sensitive about the Danhai Demon Sect. If she lied to cover up the secret, it might cause more unnecessary suspicion.

"The Demon Lord of Danhai actually left behind a legacy in Yuanbei..."

Leng Ran nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at Xu Ning: "You were able to pass his inheritance test, which shows you are indeed exceptionally talented... It makes sense that Wan Ye chose you."

"The Demon Lord of Danhai is a capricious and unpredictable person, but you have learned the Danhai Elixir Scripture. Didn't he guide you in the secret realm so that you could join the Danhai Demon Sect after arriving in Wansheng Prefecture?"

Leng Ran asked again.

"have."

Xu Ning said, "Back then in the secret realm, I obtained a token. As long as I possessed that token, I could join the Danhai Demon Sect."

"But why don't you go to the Danhai Demon Sect, and instead take on the responsibility of rebuilding the Yanlu Sect? This path is fraught with obstacles."

Leng Ran asked this question both to resolve her doubts and to understand Xu Ning's attitude.

"As I have already told you, the reason I was able to advance to the Dao Realm was because of Senior Wanye's help. I have already accepted the sect's order, so naturally I will not change my mind and join the Danhai Demon Sect."

"Moreover, the path of demonic cultivation is not suitable for me."

Although Xu Ning knew that the demonic path of Wansheng Prefecture was not the kind of killing path that was different from the pure demonic path, its martial arts positioning was similar to that of the Dan Dao Qi Zong, which was to take risks on the path of martial arts cultivation and constantly challenge the limits.

For those who lack talent but are willing to take risks, the pure path of magic is indeed an excellent way to overtake others. However, Xu Ning, who has a martial arts panel, has no need to bear the potential backlash that the path of magic may bring at any time.

Xu Ning's answer satisfied Leng Ran.

"Wan Ye's eye for choosing a successor is indeed quite good..."

At this moment, Leng Ran could be considered to have fully accepted Xu Ning.

"In that case, I will hand over the Yanlu Sect's treasury to you."

As she spoke, a round bead appeared in Leng Ran's hand.

The shape of the round bead reminded Xu Ning of the bead that the demon beast diagram eventually transformed into.

"This is a spatial treasure called the Moon-Hiding Pearl. Inside is an independent space that living things can enter and exit."

Leng Ran said, "All the secrets and resources of the Yanlu Sect are hidden within it."

"A hidden moon pearl? Allowing living creatures to enter and exit?"

This Hidden Moon Pearl does resemble the Demon Beast Diagram somewhat.

"When Li Shengmao gave me the Hidden Moon Pearl, he told me to wait a hundred years. If Wanye could find a suitable successor, he would hand it over. If not, he would let me dispose of the contents of this pearl myself."

A look of reminiscence appeared in Leng Ran's eyes, along with a trace of sadness that was hard to conceal.

Xu Ning recalled that Wan Ye had mentioned before that Leng Ran and the former sect leader Li Shengmao had a complicated past.

This is one of the reasons why Li Shengmao entrusted the sect's treasury to Leng Ran at the last moment.

"I have always treasured it. Now that the century is about to pass, I thought Wanye had already perished overseas. I never expected to wait for you in the end."

Leng Ran placed the Hidden Moon Pearl in Xu Ning's hand: "Now, it's returned to its rightful owner."

After handing the Hidden Moon Pearl to Xu Ning, Leng Ran's eyes revealed a look of relief.

She seemed to have put a very important matter on her mind.

"Thank you very much, Senior Leng."

Xu Ning bowed to Leng Ran again.

"Generally speaking, the treasures stored in the treasuries of ordinary sects are not very abundant."

Leng Ran said, "After all, in a martial arts environment like Wansheng Prefecture where competition is so fierce, maintaining the operation of a sect requires a lot of resources. But Yanlu Sect is different. In the past, Yanlu Sect was also a large sect. Its first sect leader was a high-level grandmaster at the seventh level of the Dao Realm. Over time, it has accumulated relatively abundant resources."

"With the resources of this Hidden Moon, rebuilding the Yanlu Sect shouldn't be difficult for you. However, the prerequisite is that you must grow quickly, because here, martial arts strength is the most fundamental thing."

Leng Ran's words were both encouragement and admonition.

"I understand, Senior Leng Ran."

Xu Ning responded.

"Oh, right..."

Leng Ran seemed to recall something else: "Can Wan Ye tell you about the plan to rebuild the Yanlu Sect?"

"no."

Xu Ning said, "Senior Wanye said that after he was being chased and fled Wansheng Prefecture, he was unaware of the situation thereafter. He asked me to find you so that you could guide me."

Leng Ran smiled upon hearing this.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "Go to the Cheng family in Guanghe County, Guqing Prefecture, and find Cheng Zengtao of their family."

"Cheng Zengtao of Guanghe County..."

Xu Ning noted down the location and the name of the person.

"Senior Leng, who is this person...?"

Xu Ning inquired.

"This Cheng Zengtao was a core disciple of the Yanlu Sect a hundred years ago when it disbanded, and he was also Li Shengmao's personal disciple. He was extremely loyal to the Yanlu Sect. If Li Shengmao hadn't severely expelled him at the time, he would probably have died with Li Shengmao."

Leng Ran said, "Even after the sect was disbanded and he returned to his hometown, he always kept the matter of rebuilding the Yanlu Sect in mind. During these hundred years, he came to me many times to inquire about any news of the reconstruction of the Yanlu Sect, but he returned disappointed each time."

"If you hadn't shown up, I would have made up my mind to give this Moon-Hidden Pearl to him the next time he comes."

Leng Ran held a very positive attitude towards Cheng Zengtao.

"After you find Cheng Zengtao, he can help you rebuild the Yanlu Sect."

"so……"

Xu Ning kept it firmly in mind.

"Senior Leng, now that I have obtained the Hidden Moon Pearl, I will not stay any longer."

After explaining everything, Xu Ning prepared to say goodbye.

"etc."

With a wave of her hand, Leng Ran conjured a small table in front of her, upon which lay paper, ink, and brush.

She wrote a letter and handed it to Xu Ning: "Give this to Cheng Zengtao, and then take out the sect token, and he will know everything."

Xu Ning took the letter again.

At this moment, Xu Ning was also deeply grateful for Leng Ran's dedication.

"Go."

Leng Ran waved her hand: "If there's any trouble you can't solve, come find me."

Leng Ran made a final promise.

"Senior Leng Ran, farewell."

Xu Ning bowed deeply at the end.

"Xuewen".

Leng Ran called out to the outside.

Upon hearing Leng Ran's instruction, Pei Xuewen hurriedly went inside.

"Master."

Pei Xuewen secretly glanced at Xu Ning.

"Send him out of the bamboo forest."

Leng Ran said.

"Yes……"

Pei Xuewen's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Could it be that Xu Ning lacks aptitude, or that he has performed poorly in some way? Is that why Master is unwilling to accept him as a disciple?"

Pei Xuewen was puzzled, but dared not ask.

So he took the initiative to lead Xu Ning out of the room.

After Xu Ning left, Leng Ran suddenly sighed.

"Regardless, Xu Ning has become entangled with someone like the Demon Lord of Danhai. Who knows what kind of changes will occur in the future..."

On the other side, Pei Xuewen escorted Xu Ning out of the bamboo forest.

Just as they were about to part, Pei Xuewen called out to Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning, you have an exceptional talent for alchemy. Even if you were not accepted as a disciple by your master, you would surely achieve great things in the art of alchemy."

Xu Ning was quite surprised.

Pei Xuewen was actually encouraging herself.

Thank you.

Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute and then walked away from the bamboo forest.

Shortly after Xu Ning left, the second assessment also ended.

At this time, ten disciples passed the second test and were selected as Leng Ran's nominal disciples.

Zheng Yiqing, who was with Xu Ning before, was also lucky and passed the test.

They were brought before Leng Ran.

"Master, these are the disciples who have registered for this year."

Pei Xuewen said.

"Gao Zhice, you're here too."

Leng Ran had known Gao Zhice before.

"Greetings, Senior Leng."

Gao Zhice bowed respectfully, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

"You seem to have something to say again?"

Leng Ran noticed that Gao Zhice seemed hesitant to speak.

"Senior Leng, I'd like to know, why didn't you accept Xu Ning as your disciple?"

On their way to see Leng Ran, they learned from Pei Xuewen that Xu Ning had been driven out of Danzhulin by Leng Ran.

Although Gao Zhice felt that Xu Ning was a very strong opponent, he also felt that he should stay in Danzhulin.

Gao Zhice also plans to continue sparring with Xu Ning in the future.

Pei Xuewen frowned, feeling that Gao Zhice's way of speaking to his master was very rude.

She was about to stop her when she saw Leng Ran smile and take the initiative to answer, "It's not that I don't want to take him as my disciple, but that I'm not qualified to teach him. The great alchemist behind him is someone I can never hope to reach in my lifetime."

"What!?"

The room fell silent immediately after he said this.

Gao Zhice was stunned, his eyes filled with horror.

Pei Xuewen also suddenly realized what was happening.

No wonder Xu Ning was so calm and collected before parting. It wasn't that his master didn't want to accept him, but rather that the great alchemist behind him was far superior to Leng Ran.

"Xu Ning..."

In an instant, all the true disciples and nominal disciples in the room memorized this name.

This person is very likely to become a famous figure in the future.

Thank you to Boss Annr and Boss Dalu Chaotian for the donations!
