I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 243 Prefectural Governor's Mansion

Xu Ning immediately rushed towards the gray-white direction.

Xu Hu Jun and Qing Ying followed closely behind.

"gray!"

Xu Ning was also taken aback when he saw the change from gray to white.

Originally the size of a kitten, the gray-white creature has grown to resemble the size of a male lion.

Its previous gray-white body had a youthful feel to it, but now it looks very majestic and fierce.

Although Xu Ning was genuinely happy about Hui Bai's growth, at the same time, she felt slightly awkward facing Hui Bai.

Xu Ning felt that she might need some time to adjust to this grayish-white change.

"Brother!"

This time, Gray White no longer transmits sound, but speaks directly.

Its voice was deep and resonant, and its transformed, bright silver-white fur made it clear that it was an extraordinary demon beast with an extremely high bloodline level.

"I've advanced to the Dao Realm!"

The gray-white body, suspended in mid-air, slowly fell.

In his azure eyes, silver pupils slowly rotated.

"So this is the special bloodline of the Void Beasts...?"

Xu Ning was somewhat surprised to see that the gray-white creature could already fly.

If a human grandmaster wants to achieve flight, he must at least advance to the seventh level of the Dao Realm.

The gray-white one, however, has no wings and can do this even after just advancing to the Dao Realm.

This is mainly due to Gray's control over its own void power.

"Congratulations, Gray."

Xu Ning stroked his gray head.

"Congratulations, young master!"

Xu Hu Jun appeared very excited.

Xu Hu Jun had high hopes for Grey and White, and now that he saw it grow up, he felt extremely gratified.

After Qingying came closer, she circled around Huibai, her eyes filled with jealousy.

"From now on, I can stay by my brother's side and do even more for him!"

Gray was also somewhat excited: "Besides, before I was the one perched on my brother's shoulder, now my brother can use me as a mount."

When Huibai said this, there was a sense of pride in a child growing up and giving back to their parents.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning burst into laughter.

"Grey White, now that you've advanced to the Dao Realm, your control over the Demon Beast Map will be even stronger. In the future, as my strength increases, I will also find a way to help you repair the Demon Beast Map."

Xu Ning said.

The Beast Tamer misused the Beast Diagram at the time, resulting in severe damage to it.

Even so, it is still an extremely useful treasure.

If it can be repaired, the Gray-White Manipulation Monster Diagram could even become one of his trump cards.

"Xu Ning, when are you going to let us go out and experience the spiritual energy of Wansheng Prefecture?"

Qingying asked again.

"Soon."

Xu Ning replied, "I have already chosen a temporary location for the Yanlu Sect. We will move there in a few days, and then you will be able to leave the Demon Beast Map."

"Ha, great!"

Qingying was overjoyed to receive Xu Ning's reply.

"Gray-white, you've changed too much. The characteristics of a Void Beast are now very obvious."

Xu Ning said, "According to Senior Wan Ye, the top-tier bloodline demon beasts of Wansheng Prefecture are easily targeted by powerful individuals and enslaved by them. My strength is not yet sufficient to fully protect you. Before we move to the sect's headquarters, you will temporarily stay inside the demon beast map."

"Understood, elder brother."

Grayish-white obediently follows orders.

Xu Ning then left without lingering and had Gray White escort her out.

"Xu Ning, don't forget to let us out!"

Qingying's voice echoed in Xu Ning's ears.

Xu Ning then reappeared in the room.

He put away the bead that the monster picture had transformed into.

"There's nothing urgent for now, so I'll upgrade the Danhai Danjing to the next level."

Xu Ning was making plans in his mind.

With each advancement in the Dan Hai Dan Jing, Xu Ning's alchemy skills would improve, not only increasing the success rate but also enabling him to refine more complex pills.

"The Moon Concealing Pearl now contains many spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. If these herbs and medicinal materials are refined into pills, they can obtain even more energy."

"After improving the Dan Hai Dan Jing, then refine the pills."

After making the decision, Xu Ning entered the Hidden Moon Pearl, absorbed another 30 units of energy, and then upgraded the Dan Hai Dan Jing to the second level.

After that, Xu Ning went to the room to refine pills.

Two days have passed.

Cheng Zengtao came to find Xu Ning.

"metropolitan."

Cheng Zengtao approached Xu Ning: "Tomorrow, the prefect is hosting a banquet to invite elites from several families within the prefecture. I would like you to attend as well."

"Shall I come along?"

Xu Ning asked in confusion.

"That's right."

Cheng Zengtao had already prepared his words: "You come from Yuanbei and have no friends in Wansheng Prefecture. If you can make more friends at the prefect's banquet, it will be a good thing for the reconstruction of our Yanlu Sect."

"it is good."

Although Xu Ning felt it was not very meaningful, he still accepted Cheng Zengtao's suggestion.

He also wanted to make contact with the elite class of Wanshengzhou.

"In that case, I'll come and call you again tomorrow."

Cheng Zengtao said, "At that time, your identity will be temporarily set as my friend."

"Can."

Xu Ning nodded.

After that, Cheng Zengtao left.

Cheng Zengtao did not tell Xu Ning that the invitation was Cheng Jinxian's way of testing him.

If Cheng Zengtao were to explain directly, he feared that Xu Ning would harbor resentment.

……

The following day at noon, Cheng Zengtao took Xu Ning and left the Cheng family mansion.

Cheng Zengtao led Xu Ning to the carriage.

The horses pulling the cart were clearly descendants of demonic beasts; their auras were all at the initial stage of the Void Realm.

For powerful martial arts masters, there is clearly no need for a means of transportation.

However, since this banquet is at the prefectural governor's residence, it should be as formal as possible.

"Let's get in this carriage."

Cheng Zengtao led Xu Ning to the front carriage.

This carriage is the most impressive.

"My uncle is in the car."

Cheng Zengtao offered a reminder.

Xu Ning knew that Cheng Zengtao's uncle, Cheng Jinxian, was the head of the Cheng family, a master at the fourth level of the Dao Realm and the Core Formation Realm.

Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao got into the car.

As soon as Xu Ning boarded the train, he saw a burly man sitting in the middle of the carriage.

Although he restrained his breathing, he still exuded a sense of oppression as he sat there.

"Master Cheng."

Xu Ning took the initiative to visit him.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Jinxian did not respond directly, but instead sized up Xu Ning.

"This Cheng Jinxian seems to have some reservations about me..."

Xu Ning also noticed it.

Cheng Zengtao had previously told him that Cheng Jinxian knew his identity.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Zengtao frowned.

"Uncle, this is...?"

Before Cheng Zengtao could finish his introduction, Cheng Jinxian spoke up.

"Sect Leader Xu."

Cheng Jinxian nodded slightly to Xu Ning.

Although he greeted him, Xu Ning still felt that he was somewhat condescending.

However, Xu Ning didn't seem to care much about it.

"This Patriarch Cheng doesn't seem very welcoming... Perhaps he feels that the reconstruction of the Yanlu Sect might bring trouble to the Cheng family..."

Although Cheng Zengtao didn't say it, Xu Ning had guessed about 70-80% of it.

The carriage moved smoothly inside the carriage.

"I've heard that Sect Leader Xu comes from Yuanbei?"

Cheng Jinxian took the initiative to speak.

"Master Cheng, you may simply call me by my name."

Xu Ning said, "I heard from Senior Brother Cheng that you and Senior Wanye are old friends. If that's the case, then you can also be considered my senior."

Cheng Jinxian's eyes twitched.

Last night, Cheng Zengtao went to see Cheng Jinxian again, asking him to hand over the villa outside Liuyan County to him.

It was during this time that Cheng Jinxian inquired about Xu Ning's situation.

Cheng Zengtao also informed Cheng Jinxian about Xu Ning's information.

When Cheng Jinxian learned that Xu Ning's martial arts talent was so amazing, he understood why Wan Ye would entrust the sect token to this person.

For this reason, Cheng Jinxian asked Cheng Zengtao to bring Xu Ning into his car so that he could meet with Xu Ning before the luncheon.

Before meeting Xu Ning, Cheng Jinxian thought that such a young genius should be arrogant and proud.

However, even after Cheng Jinxian put on airs, Xu Ning remained humble and composed, which gave Cheng Jinxian his first impression of Xu Ning.

In his view, for the Yanlu Sect to be rebuilt, the sect leader must have a patient heart and an unyielding will.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Ning's style of doing things has already gained half of Cheng Jinxian's approval.

"Yes, I come from Yuanbei."

Xu Ning responded to Cheng Jinxian's question.

"Is everything alright in Wanye?"

Cheng Jinxian's concern was genuine.

"Senior Wanye was seriously injured when he fled Wansheng Prefecture, and his cultivation level dropped to the Fusion Body Realm. Although he has taken pills to alleviate his injuries, his condition is still not good."

Xu Ning already knew that Cheng Jinxian and Wan Ye had some old acquaintance.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jinxian frowned and remained silent.

"Xu Ning, do you know how difficult it is to rebuild the Yanlu Sect?"

Cheng Jinxian pondered for a moment, then changed the subject: "If you want to restore the Yanlu Sect to its former glory, you will inevitably face suppression and threats from the Fengwu Pavilion and the Qingfeng Sect."

"I was already prepared for this when I accepted the sect's order."

Xu Ning smiled.

Cheng Jinxian narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly.

After that, Cheng Jinxian stopped talking, and the carriage fell silent.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Zengtao pondered in his heart what Cheng Jinxian was thinking when he first met Xu Ning.

Judging from the current situation, he doesn't seem to dislike Xu Ning.

Not long after, the carriage stopped.

"Master, we have arrived at the Prefectural Governor's residence."

"That's what the coachman outside said."

"get off."

Cheng Jinxian went down first, followed closely by Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao.

"Follow behind me."

Cheng Jinxian suddenly turned to the two of them and said, looking at Xu Ning.

Cheng Zengtao immediately felt relieved.

Then, Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao followed closely behind Cheng Jinxian and entered the prefectural governor's mansion.

Behind the two of them were the younger generation of the Cheng family.

These younger members of the Cheng family were unaware of Xu Ning's true identity. Seeing him walking behind Cheng Jinxian, they were all quite puzzled and speculated about Xu Ning's identity.

However, due to the patriarch's authority, they dared not approach him directly to inquire.

"As expected of Wansheng Prefecture's elite..."

At this time, there were other guests inside the prefectural governor's residence.

When they saw Cheng Jinxian, they all greeted each other.

Xu Ning sensed a terrifying aura emanating from these people.

He has already met several Grandmasters at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, the Core Formation Realm.

"Lord Wei!"

Before Cheng Jinxian led the Cheng family to a large hall, a refined-looking man stood in front of the hall.

Upon seeing him, Cheng Jinxian quickly stepped forward and greeted him.

Thank you to Boss Liang for the donation!
