The Path to Becoming Immortal

"That's right. By the way, how did you suddenly think of changing your thinking just now?" Yun Xinglan asked the question in his mind after he was completely calm.

Ning Ping considered his words and then said, "I made the choice based on the pattern on the poison-avoiding pill and the characteristics of the spiritual medicine."

"Oh~" Yun Xinglan was also very smart and understood it at once, so he admired Ning Ping even more.

"I didn't expect your Yuanli to be so strong. I might not be able to control the situation just now." Yun Xinglan stared at Ning Ping and said with a smile.

Ning Ping became alert as soon as he heard it, and glanced at the other party who had reached the 9th level of Qi Refining Stage.

However, he replied calmly, "You don't know that I used all my strength just now. If it were you, it would definitely be easy."

This is the reason why outsiders are taboo when refining pills and practicing. Every cultivator has his own secrets. If one is not good and falls into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, it may bring disaster to oneself.

"Let's go. You don't need to make pills today." Yun Xinglan said, and didn't continue to dwell on this matter.

"No, it's afternoon now. I was exhausted just now. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Wait for me. I've used your alchemy room. How can I be careless?"

Then Ning Ping used a few spells to clean the alchemy furnace carefully.

Yun Xinglan just stood aside, silently watching Ning Ping's busy process, and was in a trance again.

Fortunately, the other party came back to his senses after finishing the work at hand, and did not make any embarrassing mistakes again, but his face was slightly red.

After talking all the way, Ning Ping realized that they were actually the same age. After asking carefully, he was actually only one day older than Ning Ping, but Ning Ping didn't grow tall before, so he looked like a little brother.

In fact, Ning Ping's birthday was calculated on the day when the villagers found him, and Ning Ping didn't want to explain too much about it.

In the spirit of one day older is also one day older, Yun Xinglan took advantage of Ning Ping and called him a little brother.

Ning Ping also knew that the Yun family was actually a very traditional alchemy family, and it seemed to be extremely extraordinary, far beyond his imagination.

Unconsciously, the two chatted a lot, and Yun Xinglan felt that he enjoyed being with each other very much. The two walked side by side all the way to the City Lord's Mansion before they separated and went back to their own homes.

In the City Lord's Mansion, in a study room, there were two figures, one black and one white, and it seemed that their conversation had just come to an end.

"Master, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not..." The man in black said hesitantly.

The man in white turned his back, but threw the book in his hand on the desk and did not answer.

The black-clothed man's face tightened, and he hurriedly continued: "I accidentally found in the Nanhua Gate case file that a gray-white body was also found when Chunhui Valley, where Ning Ping was, was captured."

"And later, according to investigation, there were gray-white bodies of disciples killed at the Longhu Gate at the road checkpoint. It was similar to the death of the young master and Commander Yu later."

Hearing this, the white-clothed man finally turned around. It turned out to be Yun Xingzu.

"Have you found anything else?"

"Nothing else, but according to investigation, every once in a while, there would be disciples inexplicably disappearing in Chunhui Valley. This happened long before Ning Ping joined Nanhua Gate."

"Besides, with his low-level Qi Refining Stage, he is definitely not the opponent of Commander Yu. It can be inferred that there should be someone else, and it should have nothing to do with Ning Ping."

"Well~, then don't bother him. It would be best if he could be recruited to my Yun family." Yun Xingzu thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

It turned out that after yesterday's trip to Lanyue Tower, Ning Ping once again caught Yun Xingzu's attention.

Who would have thought that after a little inquiry, this boy actually succeeded in refining the elixir by himself, and it is said that he also attracted the attention of Gu Qing, the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, so he became more interested in Ning Ping.

That's why he conducted a new investigation and made some new discoveries, but fortunately, there was no direct connection with Ning Ping.

Not long after the black-clothed guard left, Yun Xingzu was thinking about something, but there was another knock on the door.

"Brother, what are you doing? I found that you don't care about the alchemist assessment in a few months." The visitor ignored everything else and pushed the door open without hesitation. The visitor was Yun Xinglan who returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

Yun Xingzu looked helpless, put down the book in his hand, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him lovingly.

"What's wrong? There's only so little time. Do you think it will be useful to cram at the last minute?" Yun Xingzu smiled at Yun Xinglan who was lying in front of the desk.

"By the way, brother, do you remember the guy called Ning Ping?" Yun Xinglan suddenly asked with his eyes blinking, pretending to be indifferent.

Yun Xingzu's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Ning Ping? I remember, the one who was in the limelight at Lanyue Pavilion yesterday."

"Humph, you stinky men only know about romance, yes, it's him, I watched him make pills today." Yun Xinglan wrinkled his nose slightly, with a look of disgust.

"Oh? He can make pills now?" Yun Xingzu said with a puzzled look.

"Yes, do you know what he made today? Anti-poison pills!" Then Yun Xinglan roughly described the process of Ning Ping's alchemy.

"How about it, he's not bad."

"Not bad, you said he actually successfully made the anti-poison pill without any guidance?" This time Yun Xingzu's face was slightly moved, and this time he was not pretending.

"Yes, thinking back then, we all fell for this pill, and I wanted to see him laugh today, who would have thought..."

Speaking of this, Yun Xinglan looked unwilling, but he did not mention anything about the abnormality of Ning Ping's Yuanli.

"If you put it that way, this boy is really good." Yun Xinglan said thoughtfully.

"Well, are you interested in bringing him to my Yun family?" Then Yun Xinglan encouraged with a smirk on his face.

Yun Xingzu stared at the other party with a smile, and stretched his head slightly: "Why do you want to bring him? We don't lack alchemists. Let him come to our house to be your follower?"

Yun Xinglan's smile froze on his face, and his face turned red in an instant. He spat and said: "Brother...what nonsense are you talking about? I think he has good qualifications. I cherish talents, cherish talents, do you understand?"

"Oh! So it's cherishing talents, you said it earlier, then I will investigate it first? Do you think it's okay?" Yun Xingzu discussed very seriously.

"Hmph~ If it's too late and someone else takes it away, then it's a pity. Don't you still believe in my judgment?" Yun Xinglan also heard the teasing in her brother's words.

"What am I afraid of? At worst, I can exchange my sister for her." Yun Xingzu shouted confidently.

"I won't pay attention to you." Yun Xinglan was embarrassed and punched out, then fled in panic.

But the laughter from behind him drilled into her ears without missing a single detail, making Yun Xinglan even more flustered.
