Chapter 2: Past Enemies
"Hmph, he's not even as good as picking up garbage, just one waste!" Old Mrs. Zhou was unhappy, glanced at Jiang Ning, and continued: "It's all to blame on that damn old man, I have to marry my daughter to such a waste!"
"In addition to inheriting the family business, I also have a very important thing to do when I come back this time, which is to make up for Yating. ”
"Although it is a marriage designated by Old Man Zhou, I will never allow Yating to marry this kind of waste. ”
"I know that you have some things that are inconvenient to do, so I, the junior, will do it for you. ”
Xu Wenhao stood up after speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on him, watching him slowly walk in front of Jiang Ning.
"You, unworthy!"
A few simple words vividly express the disdain for Jiang Ning.
"There's a million here, leave Yating. ”
Xu Wenhao took out a bank card from his pocket and put it in front of Jiang Ning.
Everyone was in an uproar, although 1 million is not a lot for the Zhou family, but it is a family asset, and the annual salary of the rest of the Zhou family is only a few hundred thousand.
"Xu Shao, your shot is 1 million, do you want to think about it again. ”
"That's right, it's too cheap to give this kind of waste 1 million. ”
Everyone felt that Jiang Ning would agree to this condition without hesitation, after all, this million was enough for Jiang Ning for the rest of his life, and he didn't have to be bullied in the Zhou family.
"What's too little?" Xu Wenhao saw that Jiang Ning didn't react for a long time, and continued: "This 1 million is a deposit, and after you leave Yating, I will give you another 1 million." ”
"Shhh...... 2 million!"
Everyone couldn't believe that Xu Wenhao actually took out 2 million.
"What are you thinking about, shit? Xu Shao thinks so highly of you, don't hurry up and thank you. ”
"That is, it's 2 million?
There was a slight sour taste in everyone's words, too, 2 million, so much money, even some people in the Zhou family were tempted.
"Hmph, money, I don't like it. Jiang Ning snorted coldly, and continued: "But what you just said, I am quite interested."
"You just said I don't deserve it?"
Jiang Ning's eyes were cold, and he looked at Xu Wenhao.
There seemed to be a cold light in his eyes, Xu Wenhao felt that he was full of oppression, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Xu Wenhao was so frightened that he unconsciously took a step back, and a sense of humiliation arose in his heart.
"What if I said that? Just like you toad, you still want to eat swan meat?" Xu Wenhao was annoyed and angry, stared at Jiang Ning and said, "You have lost your last chance just now, I will let you know how unwise it is to offend me." ”
After Xu Wenhao finished speaking, he turned around and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Old lady, since Yating is not here, I will leave first." ”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she hurriedly retained: "This meal is ready, why don't you eat a meal and leave......?"
"No, there is still something to do in the company later, and I promised to cooperate with the Zhou family on the project, and I will visit the company another day. ”
Hearing Xu Wenhao say this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't keep it anymore, and everyone in the Zhou family sent Xu Wenhao to the door and watched him drive away.
Old Madam Zhou returned to the villa, glanced at Jiang Ning, had a very unhappy expression on her face, snorted coldly, and then went straight upstairs.
This time, the guests parted unhappily, and everyone blamed Jiang Ning for this responsibility, but no one said anything, because everyone knew that Jiang Ning had provoked Xu Wenhao, and the rest of the day would definitely be unlucky.
Especially Zhou Zihao, the treacherous smile on his face is difficult to hide.
Jiang Ning didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after returning to the room, he closed the door directly and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Looks like you'll have to step up your cultivation. ”
Jiang Ning closed his eyes, lifted the cloud technique, and began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
Yunxiao Jue is one of the four major sects of the Heavenly Dome Continent, the Zhenzong Sect of the Yunxiao Sect, this exercise is the best in the entire Heavenly Dome Continent, and even within the Xiaoyun Sect, only the disciples of the inheritance are qualified to learn it.
Jiang Ning also learned it by accident in the Heavenly Dome Continent, and later it brought a lot of trouble, but this is all for later.
As Jiang Ning's cultivation state gradually deepened, the air in the room actually flowed regularly, but because the flow was very slow, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.
If outsiders saw him like this, they would definitely think that he was asleep.
A few hours passed, and Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
"This aura is too little, it feels like practicing is the same as not practicing. ”
Jiang Ning sensed some of the spiritual power in his body, which was almost unchanged from before.
"That's not going to work, you have to find a place with a bit of aura. Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly, then walked out of the Zhou family's villa and strolled down the street.
Along the way, Jiang Ning raised his perception to the maximum in order to find a place full of spiritual energy, but after wandering outside for more than 2 hours, he still couldn't find a suitable place.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning stopped, he recalled that during this time, although he did not find a place full of spiritual energy, the density of spiritual energy was different along the way, especially when passing through the city center, where the crowds were surging, and the spiritual energy was thin and almost difficult to perceive.
"It seems that the density of this aura has something to do with people. Jiang Ning muttered quietly.
He guessed in his heart that ordinary people should be able to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but without cultivating the exercises, the aura could not be stored, so it was wasted.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Jiang Ning followed the original route again, and found that it was really as he thought.
With this conclusion, Jiang Ning immediately thought of a place, and that was Longyun Mountain on the outskirts of the city.
After making up his mind, Jiang Ning went back to Zhou's house to sleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day just dawned, Jiang Ning got up, the people of the Zhou family were still resting, Jiang Ning stopped a taxi on the side of the road, the driver heard that he was going to go outside the city, his depressed face suddenly became energetic, you must know that there are dozens of kilometers outside the city of Zhou's family, this is a big job.
"Little brother, it's not dawn yet, why are you going out of the city?"
The taxi driver drove for several hours at night, and in order to lift his spirits, he chatted with Jiang Ning.
After chatting for a while, the driver was shocked and hurriedly said: "Climbing Longyun Mountain is not a joke, there is no tourist area developed there, it is all primitive mountains and forests, which is very dangerous." ”
Jiang Ning frowned after hearing this, although he was a cultivator, he was currently only in the Enlightenment Realm, and if he wanted to go up to Longyun Mountain, he could only climb it step by step like ordinary people.
The taxi driver noticed Jiang Ning's expression and continued.
"I know there's a trail leading to the mountains, but I'm not long before I get to work......"
When Jiang Ning heard this, he immediately said, "Master, as long as you take me, I will add 50 yuan to you." ”
The driver was obviously a little unhappy when he heard that he only added 50 yuan, but Jiang Ning really had no money, and his wife only gave him 50 yuan of pocket money every day, and the only 300 yuan he had on his body now was saved for a long time.
"Master, up to 80. ”
"Okay, then I'll be a good person and take you there. ”
The driver felt that Jiangning would not increase the price again, so he agreed to accept it when he saw that it was good.
There were almost no cars on the road at this point, and in about half an hour, the driver took Jiang Ning to the place.
Jiang Ning saw that there was a path up the mountain, and the driver explained to him that it was a nearby villager who went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots and pick wild mushrooms, and he could only go up to about 100 meters up the mountain.
After the driver left, Jiang Ning walked along the path to the mountain, and Jiang Ning could clearly feel that the aura in this Longyun Mountain was obviously much richer than that in the city.
Jiang Ning's pace was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the end of the road, and further up it was blocked by weeds and bushes.
"Along the way, the aura has not changed very much, and it is estimated that even if it reaches the top of the mountain, it will be about the same, so let's choose a place around here. ”
Having made up his mind, Jiang Ning found the place with the strongest aura nearby and sat down cross-legged
In the world of cultivators, aura is the foundation of everything, and in the Heavenly Dome Continent, cultivators are divided into Qi Ling, Gathering Spirit, Imperial Spirit, and Spirit Yuan...... and other nine realms.
Each realm is divided into four levels: Early, Middle, Late, and Consummation, and each Consummation cultivator will need to break through that barrier before he can enter the next realm, but this is often the most difficult.
The Spiritual Enlightenment Realm is the initial realm, which requires the perception of the aura of heaven and earth, and through the cultivation of exercises, the aura is stored in the body for one's own use.
This is Jiang Ning's first cultivation after his rebirth, and it is extremely important to choose a good cultivation method.
Jiang Ning has been in the Heavenly Dome Continent for eight hundred years, and he has collected as many cultivation techniques as a hairy cow, and there are dozens of cultivation methods that are suitable for Jiang Ning's cultivation now.
"In the last life, I died in the life and death calamity, and in general, it was because the foundation was not solid enough, in this life, I must not be greedy for advancement, I must work steadily and steadily, and cultivate each stage to the extreme. ”
Jiang Ning was thinking in his heart, and the name of an exercise came out of his mind.
"Cloud Trick!"
The Yunxiao Jue is the Xiaoyun Sect's Zhen Sect exercise, and it is also the foundation of the Xiaoyun Sect that has stood in the Tianqiong Continent for thousands of years, and even within the Xiaoyun Sect, only the disciples of the inheritance can learn, so it can be seen that this exercise is only precious.
After making up his mind, Jiang Ning used the Cloud Technique, and at this moment, the direction of air circulation around Jiang Ning changed, and the surrounding air began to slowly rotate around Jiang Ning's body.
Time passed quietly, the sun passed over Jiang Ning's head, and then set from the other side, it was already close to evening at this time, and Jiang Ning had been cultivating for a whole day.
Suddenly, the wind around Jiang Ning was fierce, and the air that was revolving around his body also turned into a whirlpool, and the fallen leaves around him were also swept in.
Moreover, this whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, and the rolling and falling leaves are also rising higher and higher, and finally it reaches a height of two meters, completely enveloping Jiangning in it.
If anyone saw this scene at this time, they would definitely be scared to death.
Jiang Ning, who was in the whirlpool, still had his eyes closed, but his brows were tightly locked, and beads of sweat on his forehead slowly dripped down his cheeks.
"Roaring ......"
Suddenly, Jiang Ning suddenly let out a roar, and the whirlpool exploded directly, and the leaves flew directly into the sky.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, and he felt that the aura in his body was more than ten times thicker than before.
"I didn't expect to break through directly to the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm!"
"Although this cloud trick is strong, it should be more because of my rebirth......
Although it was Jiang Ning's first cultivation just now, he was already familiar with the mastery of the Cloud Secret Technique.
Jiang Ning couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the aura of luck gathered into his fist, and then slammed into the trunk of the tree beside him.
"Bang!"
I only heard a loud bang, and this tree, which was thicker than a thigh, was directly stopped and broken by Jiang Ning's punch.
"Not bad. ”
Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction, although his strength cannot be compared with his peak now, he can at least face seven or eight strong men, and he can easily deal with it.
The experience of his previous life taught him that cultivation should not be rushed, especially in the early stage of cultivation, and he should lay a good foundation.
Jiang Ning also accepted it when he saw it and was about to go home, but when he was just about to go down the mountain, he noticed a strange aura fluctuation, and it was not far away.
Jiang Ning hadn't noticed it before, but after cultivating, his perception of spiritual power became more acute.
Jiang Ning walked in the direction, the road was overgrown with weeds, and the road was very difficult to walk, and after about ten minutes, Jiang Ning pushed away the last weeds and stopped in place.
Jiang Ning stared intently in front of him, and he guessed a lot along the way, such as spiritual treasures, elixirs, and so on.
But I didn't expect that there was a natural hot spring in front of me, and there was a woman soaking in the hot spring.
The woman's back was to Jiang Ning, her black hair hung straight down, her skin was smooth and white, like clotted fat, most of the woman's body was in the water, but it was difficult to hide her beautiful figure.
