Chapter 23 The East Window Incident
Zhang Ning felt that Liu Li had done something very strange, when he was in the same realm as him before, he began to woo himself, and it was said that he would not make enemies with him because of the treasure search mouse. Because now that he has perfected the third layer of Qi refining, if he has the intention and works hard, he may become the master of the Refining Hall, he doesn't look like a stunned young man, why did he offend himself?
After thinking for a while, he decided to wait and see.
The time to hand in the task of the sect was about to come, and Zhang Ning had to go to Wu's office again to receive the materials for refining the flying sword billet.
He came to the bamboo building where Wu was in charge.
Liu Li was also there, Zhang Ning turned a blind eye and directly expressed his intention to Director Wu.
Director Wu asked with a kind face: "How fast your cultivation progresses, you are really a dragon and a phoenix among people." β
Zhang Ning smiled lightly: "Director Wu has won the award. β
Chief Wu laughed dryly twice, and handed over the task materials for this month's refining to Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning immediately said goodbye and went directly to the leylines to start refining the flying sword billet.
He had now perfected the third level of Qi refining, and he was able to control the aura with ease, so the first few steps of refining ore were very smooth. After injecting the liquid alloy into the emery sword mold, Zhang Ning once again sensed the yellow glow of the soap in the snail shell. He was going to finish this month's task, so he ignored the soap and continued to wait until the liquid sword blank solidified.
It only took three hours for Zhang Ning to refine the flying sword blank. He felt that he could consult how many spars he could obtain by refining the flying sword billet, and then calculate whether it was cost-effective to repay the sect's debts in this way.
He came to Master Wu's office, and before he could speak, Lord Wu said in advance: "Disciple Zhang Ning of the Refining Weapon Hall, Elder Xing of the Law Enforcement Hall has sent you a question, go over immediately." β
Zhang Ning's heart froze, could it be that the matter of the green willow tree root was discovered? Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Zhang Ning still delivered the task of refining the flying sword billet that month, and then left slowly.
There are no law enforcement hall disciples outside the door, maybe he is still just a suspect?
Zhang Ning shook his head, shook off these messy thoughts, and then came to the Law Enforcement Hall according to the map of Yuzhu.
The law enforcement hall is magnificent, with blue bricks and green tiles, and there are pigs and dogs erected at the door, which is mighty.
He walked into the courtyard, the ground was spotless, no plants were planted, and the wings on both sides were black and hollow, slightly gloomy.
There was no one else in the courtyard, and Zhang Ning walked straight into the main hall.
An old man in a black robe and a cold face sat in the center with a majestic expression, and below him was an old man in a gray shirt and white eyebrows with a kind face, looking at Zhang Ning with an inquiring face. On both sides of the main hall stood several black-clothed disciples.
Zhang Ning guessed that these black-clothed disciples were all law enforcement disciples of the Law Enforcement Palace, and the one sitting in the main seat must be Elder Xing of the Law Enforcement Palace, and I don't know who it was next to him.
Zhang Ning clasped his fists and saluted, "See Elder Xing!"
Elder Xing nodded and said, "This is Elder Zhen of the Artifact Palace, who is in charge of the Artifact Hall and the Refining Hall below. β
Zhang Ning remembered that Chief Wu had mentioned that the elder who appreciated him was surnamed Zhen, and he was busy giving gifts.
Elder Zhen said, "No need to be polite," and turned to Elder Xing: "Let's start inquiring." His voice was low and slightly hoarse.
Elder Xing nodded and asked, "Refining Hall Zhang Ning, how long have you been getting started?"
Zhang Ning replied: "It's been four months. β
Elder Xing stared at Zhang Ning for a moment and then said, "A cultivator who has advanced to the third level of Qi refining for four months is not unique in the Middle Continent, but without exception, they are all accumulated from pills. According to Wu Wei, you only bought low-grade pills, because you owed a lot of spars to the sect on credit, so you didn't buy the pills needed for the third layer of qi refining. β
Zhang Ning thought to himself, sure enough, it was the old puppet who was the ghost of Chief Wu, even if it was not his secret, it still played a role in fueling the trouble!
Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't answer, Elder Xing continued: "The Qingxu Sect will not interfere with the adventures of the sect's disciples, but if it involves the things of the sect, it cannot be connived. β
Zhang Ning thought to himself, sure enough, I still suspect it, the loss of the green willow root coincides with the soaring time of my cultivation, and this guy Mickey dug a hole for me.
Seeing that Zhang Ning still didn't refute, Elder Xing and Elder Zhen next to him glanced at each other, and Elder Xing continued: "According to the life card, you have been to Lihe Town, Benpaifang City, and the Library Pavilion during this time, and other locations are also within the scope of Qingyun Mountain. β
Zhang Ning's belly slandered, can the life card still be located? installed a GPS gene positioning system? will also tell the truth, is it developed by Apple? and so on......
Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "Since this life card can show my whereabouts, then you should know that I haven't been to the medicine garden." β
Elder Zhen next to him showed a look of disappointment and said slowly, "According to Liu Li, you have a treasure search mouse. β
Zhang Ning was resentful in his heart, and sure enough, Liu Li also had a share.
Zhang Ning simply stopped hiding it: "It is true that the treasure search mouse gave me a few glow sticks, but I didn't know that it was a lost thing of the sect at the time. β
Elder Xing asked, "Didn't you instruct the Treasure Raider to steal the medicinal herbs? It is said that the Treasure Raider has already recognized you as the master. β
Zhang Ning defended: "Mickey only recognized the Lord a few days ago, and he was running outside by himself before, and I don't know where he has been." β
Elder Xing and Elder Zhen looked suspicious, and Elder Zhen asked, "How many days ago did you recognize the Lord?"
Zhang Ning replied: "Exactly, Senior Sister Wenzhu of the Spirit Beast Yuan, Yang Da and Senior Brother Yang who were present at the time can all testify. Senior Brother Liu Li was also there at the time. β
Elder Xing and Elder Zhen sat in silence for a while, and Zhang Ning guessed that they were communicating with their divine senses.
After a moment, Elder Xing said: "Since you were implicated by the treasure search rat and did not make a mistake on purpose, then you have two choices, the first is to hand over the treasure search mouse to the sect, because the treasure search mouse has already recognized the master, so you join the spirit beast garden together with the treasure search mouse, and let the sect send you, of course, you don't have to repay the sect spars you owe on credit, not only that, but the sect will also provide you with pills free of charge to fully assist you in your cultivation; the second option is to repay the sect's twenty green willow roots, or compensate 100,000 spars according to the priceββ But first of all, he had to go to the Empty Cliff to think about it for seven days, and then he began to compensate the sect for its losses. β
Zhang Ning didn't think about it and said, "I'll choose the second option." "-Just kidding, the first item looks good, but in fact it has become a sect slave, and Zhang Ning will not be fooled. Moreover, the treasure search mouse can actually be worth 100,000 spars, so precious, you can't choose the first item! As for the free elixir, it should be to tame him, and then control the treasure search mouse Mickey, who is really bloody! The second item looks terrible, but if there are too many lice, he doesn't bite, and he already owes a lot of spars, and he doesn't care about adding another double digit. Isn't it just a small black house, he is most familiar with this routine, and he must rush to go!
After Elder Xing and Elder Zhen glanced at each other, Elder Xing made a final decision: immediately go to the Empty Cliff to think about it, and in seven days, start to repay the spar by taking the paid tasks of the sect.
Zhang Ning was ordered to retreat.
