The Path to Becoming Immortal

Ning Ping was stunned by surprise. Although the other party did not explicitly say that he would accept him as a disciple, his meaning was clear.

People like them were extremely cautious in accepting disciples, but such words were already a done deal.

The expressions of the others who heard this were also different. Some were surprised, some were unwilling, and some were silent.

Of course, there were also the excitement of Shen Qingyao and Qingqing behind him.

At this moment, Gu Qing and Ling Hongjiu stared at Ning Ping with a smile, and seemed to enjoy his surprised look.

"Promise him, this old man is not bad, and he is more than enough to guide you." Suddenly, the voice of Hu Lao came out in his mind.

"And the Gu family has a good martial arts. Find a way to get it in the future. It will be good for you."

At this point, Ning Ping answered very straightforwardly: "I am willing."

It seems that Ning Ping became someone else's disciple rashly, but he has also thought it over carefully. Gu Qing mentioned finding a good teacher for him before.

Although the contact with Ling Hongjiu was brief, he had a very good impression of him. If he wanted to go further, it would be a great opportunity to become his disciple.

Besides, he had already planned to leave here as soon as possible.

The opportunity was rare, so he could not be hypocritical. So he nodded after a little thought. After all, compared with Yang Qizhen, it would not be much worse.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about other things in Zhongzhou." Seeing Ning Ping's straightforward agreement, Ling Hongjiu was also very happy and said yes.

"Okay, sir!" Ning Ping responded immediately. At this moment, he had not been officially accepted as a disciple, so it was most appropriate to call him sir.

"Haha, Ning Ping, you go first and prepare well. Let's go too."

Gu Qing was also very happy at this moment, as if he had gained something.

He was also happy, of course. Although he had set up more than one person, Ning Ping's background was very simple, but he was also the most suitable partner.

Since he caught Ling Hongjiu's eye, it couldn't be better, and it would be more beneficial to the Gu family in the future.

How could he not be happy after making friends with Ling Hongjiu and winning over Ning Ping, a man with a bright future?

When they returned to the courtyard, they were still immersed in excitement and were happy for Ning Ping. You know, he is not only a master of alchemy, but also a golden elixir cultivator with a high reputation.

While they were rejoicing. After the dinner at the City Lord's Mansion, the father and son of the Yun family were silent.

"Alas, I didn't expect such a great thing to have such an accident." Yun Zhiyuan sighed helplessly.

As the city lord, he certainly knew some of the situation in Zhongzhou, and he had already received relevant news.

If his son Yun Xingzu could join Ling Hongjiu's school, then the status of the Yun family in Guangming City would be greatly increased, and his plan would be one step further.

Unexpectedly, the uncertain factor of Ning Ping appeared out of nowhere.

Yun Xingzu's face was changing from bright to dark at this moment. After thinking for a long time, his face turned grim, and he finally made a decision.

"Father, maybe we still have a chance."

"Oh! What is it? Tell me." Yun Zhiyuan suddenly became energetic.

"I suspect that Ning Ping is the murderer of Brother Yan." Then Yun Xingzu said a shocking news.

"Well~! It's him!" Yun Zhiyuan suddenly stood up and stared at Yun Xingzu coldly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father, don't worry, listen to me..."

Yun Xingzu then told the scene of encountering a black-robed monk in the Spiritual Medicine Valley.

"At that time, the death of Elder Tu's son was exactly the same as that of Brother Yan, and today when I was refining the elixir, I suddenly noticed a fluctuation of Yuanli that was the same as that day. I saw that it was Ning Ping."

"But the strange thing is that when I wanted to investigate carefully, it disappeared strangely. Now I speculate that maybe he has some secret method to cover up or change the fluctuation of Yuanli."

"Is this just your suspicion? It's not enough. You may be wrong." Yun Zhiyuan also frowned deeply.

"Of course there are more than that, there are..."

Then Yun Xingzu told some of the previous investigations, including the death of Ning Ping's teacher Yang Qizhen and the guards on the road.

And not long after Ning Ping came to Guangming City, Yun Xingyan had an inexplicable accident and the same death.

Yun Zhiyuan fell into silence at this moment. Although it sounds reasonable, it is all speculation without any evidence.

"Do you think he could kill Yan'er and others with his cultivation at that time? What's more, the son of Elder Tu died in public."

"This~, maybe there is some secret method. Maybe it's not him, but if it's him, if this secret method is mastered by us..."

Yun Xingzu said, his eyes became hot.

"Well!" Yun Zhiyuan also woke up at this moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Besides, with his dead master, how could he have such an excellent alchemy skill? It can be seen that this boy must have a big secret."

"And that day someone refined the best foundation-building pill and created the Danlin Tianxiang, and Ning Ping was also there..."

The more he talked, the clearer Yun Xingzu's thoughts became, and the more excited he was.

"And he is very close to Gu Qing. From what Gu Qing said today, it seems that they had an agreement in advance. Otherwise, why would he say that Ning Ping is a member of his business alliance?"

"And I met him a few days ago... and all the signs show that he had intended to leave Guangming City."

So Yun Xingzu also told him about the invitation to Ning Ping to join the Yun family a few days ago, and the fact that Gu Xiao helped him out when he left the Spiritual Medicine Valley.

After careful consideration, the other party's evasive words at that time were undoubtedly a polite refusal.

"But now he is favored by Ling Hongjiu..., hum~ You didn't say such a big thing earlier."

Speaking of this, Yun Zhiyuan's face showed anger.

"Hey, who would have thought of it, and now doesn't my father feel that he is just suspicious. Besides, hasn't Elder Ling officially accepted him as a disciple yet?"

"Who knows that Elder Ling knows that Ning Ping's secret is exposed, maybe I still have a chance."

Not to mention, if it weren't for the changes caused by Ning Ping during the assessment today, maybe Yun Xingzu could really become Ling Hongjiu's disciple.

Because of this, the speculation under the frustration really figured out some differences, and after the two people's speculation, it was almost the same as the truth, but there was no direct proof.

And now if it is really as he thought, then compared to becoming Ling Hongjiu's disciple, it is more tempting to get the secrets of the other party.

"In this way, you can invite him to join my Yun family later. It would be best if he agrees." He said with a cold face.

"If you don't want to, then don't act rashly. Now is the grand event of my Guangming City. Let's talk about it after the assessment is over. I don't want his Zhongzhou Yun family to laugh at him."

"But there is one thing, we must not let the murderer who killed my son escape from here."

After thinking for a while, Yun Zhiyuan roughly arranged the matter.

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Yun Xingzu agreed with excitement, and then turned and left.
