Chapter 22 The City Lord's Mansion Meets Guan Jie

"Brother Chen Ning, I don't know how old you are this year?" Fortunately, Ouyang Xin was born in a big family, although he was surprised by Chen Ning's cultivation speed, but he was also a person who had seen the world, the population of Xuantian Continent was trillions, and there were countless geniuses and ghosts, Ouyang Xin also heard a little, and quickly recovered his mentality.

Ouyang Xin's words Chen Ning is really not how to answer, he was 20 years old in his last life, because he was in the orphanage, so he studied earlier, and he has been here for more than a year, after thinking for a while, he said to Ouyang Xin, "Twenty-one years old." ”

Hearing Chen Ning say that he was twenty-one years old, Ouyang Xin felt slightly better, but he was twenty-two but a seventh-order Xuanshi, but thinking that Chen Ning had only been cultivating for about ten days, he still had a quick stalk in his heart, which was too shocking. After a while, as if thinking of something, Ouyang Xin said to Chen Ning, "Brother Chen Ning, I wonder if you plan to take the assessment of our Jason Kingdom Academy next month?"

"What is Jason Kingdom College?"

"Wouldn't you? You don't even know about Jason Kingdom Academy?" Hearing Chen Ning's words, Ouyang Xin looked at Chen Ning like a monster, there were still people in the rule of the Jason Kingdom who didn't know about the existence of Jason Academy.

Facing Ouyang Xin's incredulous look, Chen Ning still shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

Seeing that Chen Ning really didn't know, he wasn't pretending, Ouyang Xin sighed slightly, and said, "Jason Academy is the most famous academy in our Jason Kingdom, not only are there geniuses from various cities in our Jason Kingdom who enter it to study, but even the royal family of the kingdom are studying in it, but it is not easy to enter the Jason Kingdom, you must reach the Xuanshi realm before twenty-two to enter." After speaking, he glanced at Chen Ning, Jason Academy will hold a recruitment ceremony on the fifteenth of next month, and Chen Ning is only at the sixth order of the Xuan Master now, even if his cultivation speed is fast, it is impossible to reach the Xuan Master realm on the fifteenth of next month, after all, the more difficult it is to improve the Xuan Qi.

Hearing this, Chen Ning thought for a while, and said secretly in his heart, "Is it the fifteenth of next month? I don't know if I have a chance to enter", Chen Ning knew that what was urgently needed now was a good cultivation environment, he believed that as long as he had enough resources, with the Ziqing Sword Duel and his own divine sense ability, he would definitely not be worse than others, seeing Ouyang Xin glanced at him, he looked at Ouyang Xin and smiled slightly, and said, "On the fifteenth of next month, it seems that I am not completely out of chance." ”

Seeing that Chen Ning was not discouraged because he said that he wanted a Xuan Master to enter Jason Academy, but instead said that he was not completely without a chance, Ouyang Xin was stunned at first, and then shook his head with a wry smile, in his opinion, Chen Ning was still too naïve, and it was very fast to break through in the early stage of the Xuan Scholar with enough resources and talents, but after reaching the tenth order of the Xuan Scholar, it became very difficult, but it was not good to hit Chen Ning, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Come on, I believe in you." ”

Regarding Ouyang Xin's words that he was not confident in himself, Chen Ning also smiled and did not explain much, sometimes there are some things, waiting for you to succeed is the best explanation.

Later, after Ouyang Xin discussed some cultivation experiences with Chen Ning, he left temporarily, Ouyang is such a big family, and Ouyang Xin is the eldest son in the family, so he is naturally busy with affairs, but when Ouyang Xin left, he asked Chen Ning to rest in the study, and go to attend the twentieth birthday of the city lord's daughter in the evening.

After Ouyang Xin left, Chen Ning sat on the chair and bowed his head and pondered for a while, then took out the bag containing the Xuanshi and the demon core, looking at the Xuanshi and the demon core the size of glass beads in the bag, Chen Ning couldn't help but pick up a first-order demon core glowing with earthy yellow energy, and groaned in his heart, I don't know if I can cultivate with the help of the demon core, but when Chen Ning first had this thought, the words of the black panther seemed to sound in Chen Ning's ears, the demon core has extremely violent energy in it, and anyone who cultivates with the help of the demon core will either break the meridians or go crazy and die, remember not to absorb it。

"Ugh..."

Just when Chen Ning was about to put the demon core into the package, or use the Xuanshi to cultivate, the two rays of light in the dantian in Chen Ning's body suddenly flashed, as if he had found something delicious, and the demon core that Chen Ning originally put down seemed to be sucked by something, just when Chen Ning was a little confused by all this, he suddenly felt a very pure and powerful energy emanating from the demon core, and quickly flowed into his body along his arm, Chen Ning was suddenly startled, and wanted to control this energy from flowing into his body, but found that he couldn't control it at all, Chen Ning thought of the two purple and green rays in his dantian, immediately checked his body, and sure enough, he saw that the two flashing purple and blue lights in his dantian were frantically absorbing the energy from the demon core, and the demon core energy integrated into the dantian was continuously refined into a purple gas by the two rays of purple and blue, and finally integrated into his own meridians.

Chen Ning, who checked the abnormal appearance of the dantian in his body, suddenly showed a look of joy on his face, so that he didn't have to worry about the violent energy in the demon core that the black panther said would harm himself, causing the meridians to be broken and go crazy, feeling that his strength was gradually getting stronger, Chen Ning did not hesitate, and immediately ran the cultivation method of the Ziqing Sword Duel, as Chen Ning ran the cultivation method of the Ziqing Sword Duel, the energy of the demon core in his hand was integrated into the body several times faster, and the huge energy in the demon core was frantically integrated into Chen Ning's body, and the two rays of light at the dantian were a little brighter with the injection of huge energy, and the faint light suddenly brightened a little, and those who came did not refuse, crazy absorption.

Time passed in a hurry, and Chen Ning didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but when Chen Ning opened his eyes, he saw four clouds of dust of different colors on the ground, these four clouds of dust of different colors were the demon core after Chen Ning absorbed the energy, and when all the energy in the demon core was absorbed by Chen Ning, it turned into a puff of dust like a Xuanshi.

Chen Ning lowered his head slightly, looking at a golden demon core in his hand, the energy of this demon core was absorbed by Chen Ning half, and the original golden energy on it was also a little dimmed at the moment, not as bright as before.

Feeling the full purple energy in his body, Chen Ning's face showed an ecstatic look,---- the seventh order of the Xuanzhi, and Chen Ning found that he was not only an improvement in cultivation, the Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi and the Xuan Qi that he absorbed before were all white Xuan Qi, and after absorbing the demon core energy, the Xuan Qi produced in the dantian was purple, although he didn't know what the purple Xuan Qi was, but now Chen Ning, who was full of purple Xuan Qi in his body, could feel that it was much stronger than the previous white Xuan Qi, how could this change not make Chen Ning, who was eager for strength, ecstatic, if it wasn't estimated that this was in Ouyang Xin's study, Chen Ning wanted to laugh out loud。

After being overjoyed, Chen Ning looked at a few clouds of dust on the ground, waved his right hand, and suddenly the dust was wrapped in a piece by Chen Ning with Xuan Qi, and then thrown into the garbage in Ouyang Xin's study, the whole action was smooth, and there was not half a drop of dust standing on his body.

When Chen Ning opened the door of the study, he saw that the sky outside was already covered with the sunset under the sunset, and the entire Ouyang Mansion was shrouded in the sunset and became golden, "I didn't expect it to be evening, it seems that it's time to go back." Chen Ning looked at the sunset on the horizon and muttered.

Just when Chen Ning was about to say goodbye to Ouyang Xin and leave, Ouyang Xin was walking towards Chen Ning and said, "Brother Chen Ning, what are you doing?

Hearing this, Chen Ning turned around and looked in the direction of Ouyang, only to see Ouyang Xin, accompanied by an old man, and said to Chen Ning who was standing at the door of the study. Chen Ning shook his head, looked at Ouyang Xin, and said, "That's not the case, I've been cultivating all day, but I don't care about the passage of time, but it's getting late now, so I won't chatter." After speaking, Chen Ning's gaze couldn't help but fall on the old man standing next to Ouyang Xin, and then a look of shock appeared on his face, the old man was dressed in black, he was about sixty years old, his face was ordinary, but the skin on his face was extremely loose, and his face was also pitted, but this was not enough to shock Chen Ning, after all, everyone's appearance is different, nothing strange, what shocked Chen Ning was the strength of the old man, now that Chen Ning has reached the seventh order of the Xuanshi, even Ouyang Xin can sense the seventh-order cultivation of the Xuanshi, but the old man Chen Ning can't sense anything, as if standing in front of Chen Ning is an ordinary old man, but Chen Ning is not stupid, How can it be an ordinary person in Ouyang Mansion, even the patrol guards are at least the tenth order of the Xuan, the only explanation is that this old man's strength is very strong, so strong that Chen Ning can't see through his cultivation.

Seeing that Chen Ning was just because of the sky, Ouyang Xin said with a smile on his face, "Brother Chen Ning, then you can't leave, today is the birthday of the Xia City Lord's daughter, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet later." After speaking, Chen Ning looked at the old man beside him, paused, and continued to say to Chen Ning, "Brother Chen Ning, this is the elder of my Ouyang Mansion, called Chang Lao, Chang Lao has watched me grow up since I was a child. After speaking, he introduced Chen Ning and Chang Lao to each other.

Chen Ning knew the strength of the old man, and Ouyang Xin was also friendly to him, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up, and smiled politely at Chang Lao, "Chang Lao is good, the junior Chen Ning is polite." ”

Chang Lao didn't put on a show because he was Ouyang Xin's elder, and also replied to Chen Ning; "Ouyang, this baby mentioned you to me just now, I remember that Ouyang Xin said just now that you are only the sixth order of the Xuan, why does the old man see that you are already the seventh order of the Xuan. After speaking, he looked at Chen Ning with a smile on his relaxed face, but Chang Lao's appearance really didn't dare to compliment, it was okay not to smile, and a smile couldn't help but make Chen Ning think of Meng Po who he had watched in the TV series in his previous life, which was a little weird.

"What? What Chen Ning Chang Lao said is true, you are a seventh-order mystic?"

Hearing what Chang Lao said, Ouyang Xin looked like he had seen a ghost, and looked at Chen Ning in shock.

Seeing Ouyang Xin's reaction so big, Chen Ning couldn't help but smile and nodded, "If you're lucky, you'll break through." After speaking, he didn't care about the expression on Ouyang Xin's face, paused, and continued with some embarrassment: "Ouyang Gongzi, I won't go to the birthday of the Xia City Lord's daughter, after all, I don't know anyone. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Chen Ning, you are going, Na Guan Jie will also go today, let's hit him again, uh..... Brother Chen Ning wouldn't be afraid of him, right?" Ouyang Xin pulled Chen Ning's arm, and looked at Chen Ning with a sly smile on his face when he said that.

Chen Ning suddenly felt a headache, to be honest, Chen Ning really didn't want to participate in the so-called city lord's daughter's birthday, although the city lord was extremely powerful in Tianyong City, but he couldn't fight with him, he really didn't want to waste this time, it was better to go back to the inn to practice if he had time, but seeing Ouyang Xin pulling his arm, especially Ouyang Xin was afraid that he wouldn't go, he also used the radical method, so he shook helplessly, "Okay, you have used the radical method, what else can I do." After Chen Ning finished speaking, Ouyang Xin laughed and pulled Chen Ning to walk outside Ouyang's mansion, but Chang Lao, who followed the two of them, had a gleam in his eyes, watching Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin walk in front intimately, with a mysterious smile on his face, and did not speak.

When Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin came to the gate of Ouyang Mansion, more than a dozen carriages had been parked at the door, except for the carriage in front of Ouyang Xin, the rest of the carriages were placed with countless treasures and finances, in fact, the birthday of the daughter of the Xia City Lord, although it was his daughter's birthday, it was also an opportunity for the large and small families of Tianyun City to tie up the city lord, and the Ouyang family, as one of the eight major families of Tianyun City, naturally knew the stakes and the gifts could be imagined.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Tianyun City, when Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and got off the carriage, when Chen Ning saw the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Ning's eyes were full of shock, which is a mansion in front of him, this is simply a small castle, both sides of the street at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion have been hung with banners to congratulate his birthday at this moment, and the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is even more bronze, lively and extraordinary, the endless convoy is patted at the door waiting for gifts, the carriage is loaded with rare treasures, or a large number of cultivation resources, and there are a large number of heavily armed soldiers patrolling at the gate of the City Lord's MansionJudging from the momentum emitted by them, the lowest is at the level of a Xuanshi, and plastic surgery is not insignificant.

Soon, Ouyang Xin entered the City Lord's Mansion under a special channel, after all, it was the Ouyang family, one of the eight major families in Tianyun City, naturally it was impossible to line up at the door like other second-rate families, and when he entered the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Xin met a lot of acquaintances, and began to greet Chen Ning one after another, no way, although Chen Ning hated this kind of polite words, but Ouyang Xin took him, he couldn't refuse, Chen Ning also met a lot of so-called princes and nobles in Tianyong City under Ouyang Xin's introduction, among which there were many young ladies who were about the same age as Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin, but although these people were polite to Ouyang Xin, but when Ouyang Xin introduced Chen Ning, he just said that Chen Ning was his private friend, so these people naturally disdained Chen Ning, otherwise Chen Ning didn't care about it, and it saved a lot of trouble.

Soon after Ouyang Xin finished saying hello, he and Chen Ning came to a brilliant dining place with Huijin, there are only eight tables here, obviously reserved for the eight families of Tianyong City, and the position is also extremely high, when Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin came to Ouyang's house to sit in front of the table, Chen Ning saw an acquaintance, the young master of the housekeeper, Guan Jie, and when Guan Jie also saw Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin walk in, Guan Jie was originally greeting the smiling faces of other families, and suddenly changed greatly, a pair of eyes were waiting for Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin in an instant, and the anger in his eyes was overflowing, and he was about to burst into flames。
