The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Shut up, don't leave the city anymore, or I'll break your legs." Shen Qingyao said viciously in the courtyard.

"Okay, sister, I won't go out anymore, that's all." Ning Ping looked helpless, but at this moment his face was a little rosy, not as scary as before.

"Brother Ning, in fact, you just refine spiritual medicines and earn some spiritual stones, plus I can also earn spiritual stones, this is enough for us to live here, if something really happens to you... If you really want to go, then take me with you, I don't want to see you get hurt so badly again." Shen Qingyao looked serious, and mist appeared in her eyes.

Ning Ping knew that when she called herself Brother Ning, she was often very serious.

"Well, don't worry, I promised sister that I won't go out next time, we will practice well in the city." Ning Ping also nodded seriously. Indeed, earning spiritual stones by refining spiritual medicines is enough for the two of them to gain a foothold in the city. Although it is a bit slow, there is still a huge sum of money to be collected.

The reward in Yu Chengwang's bounty order includes 100 Zengyuan Pills, 100 Yangqi Pills, and 10,000 Lingshi. This huge sum of money is enough for the two of them to squander for a while.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"It turns out that Sister Chuxun is here, please come in!" Puzzled, he opened the door and found that the person who came was Wu Chuxun, whom he met a few days ago.

As soon as Wu Chuxun and his friends entered the small courtyard, they noticed that Ning Ping's complexion was different.

"Brother Ning Ping, what's wrong with you? You don't look very good."

"I was injured a few days ago when I hunted monsters, but I'm fine now." Ning Ping made an excuse casually.

"Oh? If there is anything, you have to tell your sister. Sister knows some people." Wu Chuxun said with a smile, as if he saw something.

"Yes, if anyone bullies you, just tell us, and my sister and I will bite him to death." Xiao Ling on the side showed two cute little tiger teeth and gritted her teeth, causing everyone to laugh.

"Haha, it seems that you are born in the year of the dog." Ning Ping also laughed dumbly and rubbed her little head with his hand.

"Don't mess with my hair," Xiao Ling pushed Ning Ping's hand away angrily. It seemed that this guy was only a few years older than herself, but in a blink of an eye, he asked curiously. "By the way, how did you know that we were both born in the year of the dog."

"I guessed it. By the way, how did you get free today?" Ning Ping didn't want to continue to dwell on himself, so he turned the topic to her.

Sure enough, Wu Chuxun took over the conversation: "I have nothing to do today, so I want to go out for a walk. By the way, sister Qingyao, I brought a pair of earrings here, you try them."

Seeing that several women began to chatter, Ning Ping was relieved and sat aside and listened quietly.

As the chat continued, the topic slowly shifted to some major events that happened in the city recently, which was the killing of a leader of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Ping was shocked to hear this, and Shen Qingyao was also thoughtful. However, Shen Qingyao did not directly connect the two. Instead, according to the time, Ning Ping was probably also a victim of this incident that day, and was affected by the fish pond.

At this time, if anyone directly said that he suspected that the leader was killed by Ning Ping, he would probably be suspected of being crazy.

City Lord's Mansion, above the hall.

"Tell me, how is the investigation going, it has been ten days!" In the hall, a man in solemn and gorgeous clothes stood, with a low face and said softly, but his voice was clearly heard throughout the hall.

This person was Yun Zhiyuan, the master of Guangming City.

The Yun brothers and sisters under the steps, and the eight people in leader's clothes in front of the hall stood straight, lowering their heads and keeping silent.

"That means nothing was found, and we've been tossing around for ten days in vain." Yun Zhiyuan twitched his lips and revealed a sneer, and the hall continued to return to a dead silence.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't bear such pressure.

"Father, the mission of Yu Chengwang on the killing order in the Killing Alliance has disappeared." It was Yun Xingzu who spoke at the bottom of the steps, with a calm face and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Killing Alliance, Luoying Pavilion! Don't touch them, just pay close attention, do you hear me?" Yun Zhiyuan seemed to show a trace of fear in his words, and suddenly thought of something and continued: "By the way, have you asked about the Killing Alliance?"

I saw a commander stand up and say: "I asked, but I didn't find anything."

"Humph, don't they claim to know everything?"

"Father, do you think it could be someone from another city..."

"It shouldn't be, I haven't received any news so far, and the current situation is stable, it's impossible to rashly anger us."

Yun Zhiyuan denied this statement without hesitation.

"Okay, focus on those who are above the foundation-building cultivators, and don't make a big fuss about it, so as not to embarrass yourself."

After saying that, Yun Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves and disappeared, leaving only the people in the hall who were still uneasy.

In the small courtyard, Wu Chuxun and his servant had already left, but Shen Qingyao was still hesitant to speak.

"Ning Ping, what they just said, is there any connection with your serious injury that day?" In the end, Shen Qingyao couldn't help asking.

"How is it possible? He is a foundation-building cultivator. But don't publicize my serious injury to the outside world, so as not to cause any trouble." Ning Ping pretended to be surprised, but still gave a cautious instruction.

"Well, it's good that it's not." Shen Qingyao looked at Ning Ping deeply, and didn't continue to ask.

"Okay, I'll take a rest first." Ning Ping said and walked into the room, so as not to stay here any longer. If he was asked about the specific details, it would be very tiring to make up a lie.

The teacher once said: One lie should be covered with ten lies. So the best way is not to let yourself fall into the situation of telling the first lie.

Now the basic injuries have stabilized, and the rest is to let time recover slowly.

When Ning Ping was bored, he suddenly took out the broken jade slip again.

Looking at the jade slip in his hand carefully again, the surface no longer had the color of the jade slip itself, all of which were stained by the erosion of time, giving people a sense of simplicity and solemnity. At first glance, it felt extraordinary, but people who had this feeling often returned disappointed.

This time, after devouring the foundation-building cultivator, I always felt that the soul power was still a little short of a breakthrough, so I wanted to try it again.

Ning Ping tightly grasped the jade slip, and a huge amount of soul power gushed out and drilled into the jade slip in his hand.

After a while, he felt the barrier again, and then the soul power condensed and began to attack the restriction.

After a long time, just when Ning Ping was about to give up, the barrier finally showed signs of loosening, as if a small gap had been grinded out by himself.

Ning Ping was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he attacked the gap in one go. Suddenly, the restriction was finally broken at a certain moment, and a large amount of information emerged.
