Chapter 158: Giving a sword and saying goodbye
Ning Chong happily decided on the name of the trick he had created, and after his heart was completely relaxed, he remembered that he had left home and stayed on this heartbreak cliff for a long time. Think about it, since these days, I have been forgetting to sleep and eat on the cultivation of the "Qingfeng Sword Technique", and I have forgotten the date. The Izumo Valley Trial should start soon, don't miss the time, or it will be bad!
Thinking so in his heart, Ning Chong didn't hesitate, with a body of dust and exhaustion, he took a step, left the heartbreak cliff, and rushed home.
Almost ten minutes after Ning Chong left a cup of tea, two figures suddenly flashed out, and they had already landed silently on the silent heartbreak cliff.
The two people who appeared were very old and a little old-looking, and the family position insignia on their chests clearly showed that they were the elders of the family who were responsible for guarding security.
As soon as the two elders appeared, they immediately walked in unison, and in a few steps they came to the hard cliff that was almost shattered after being pierced by Ning Chong's move "Lonely Wind Extermination". After only two glances, the faces of the two elders became extremely solemn.
After a moment of silence, the elder on the left spoke first: "What a terrifying martial art trick! This kind of stubborn rock cliff, even if you and I use the strongest martial art trick, we may be able to penetrate it, but we must not exert such destructive power and shatter its surface with a burst!"
The elder on the right nodded and said, "That's true, but I don't remember that the elders' cultivation tricks in our family can cause this kind of effect! The strength of the other clansmen of the Ning family, it is impossible for anyone to do this! This person should not be from our family, and the martial arts tricks he uses are definitely not the martial arts of our family, this must be ......"
"There must be an invasion of outsiders!"
"That's right, this time it's troublesome, and I actually let outsiders invade here silently, and this time I'm seriously derelict in my duties......"
The faces of the two elders were not good-looking. After another period of silence, the elder on the right slapped his palm on the stone wall angrily, and said angrily: "Damn, even if this person invaded the mountain behind my Ning family, he was so arrogant that he left traces of martial arts tricks here! This is obviously a slap in the face and provocation of our Ning family! Hmph, if you let me know who he is, I will definitely skin him and cramp!"
Elder Zuo shook his head slightly, and said, "Let's not talk about this, no matter what the purpose of that person is in invading the mountain behind my Ning family, he has left traces of this provocative blow on the heartbreak cliff, not only insulting my Ning family, but also causing a huge threat to our family! My two dereliction of duty are already facts that cannot be changed, and the most important thing at the moment is to report this matter to the upper echelons of the family, and not leave a potential threat to the family!"
"Okay, I'll keep this place, you can report it now!"
...... Ning Chong didn't know that he had no scruples about trying his tricks on the rocky cliff of the back mountain, and the huge noise caused by it actually caused such a laughable episode.
After the elder went to report, for a while, the Ning family was full of chickens and dogs, high tension, and the family's defense strength quickly doubled, and this rumor also spread, and it was rumored that a mysterious master had invaded the family's back mountain, and arrogantly left traces of provocation.
Most of the comments were extremely exaggerated about the "traces" left by the master, some said that a single palm knocked down a small mountain, some said that a single punch knocked down the thick stone wall of the Inner Sect Academy, and even more, it was said that under a single move, nearly ten elders were shocked and vomited blood.
Since then, the mysterious master has not been able to find a trace, and the entire Ning family has gradually quieted down.
...... Ning Chong naturally didn't know about the little trouble he was going to cause in the family, he was quickly rushing back to Yuzhu Courtyard at this time, planning to take advantage of the last days to cultivate hard, strive to further improve his strength, and meet the upcoming Izumo Valley trial in the best condition!
Ning Chong didn't expect that he had just returned to Yuzhu Courtyard, but found that there was an unexpected guest at home.
"Hahaha, Ning Chong, you made me wait!"
Seeing that Ning Chong was back, the Seventh Elder, who was sitting and drinking tea, put down the teacup and stood up happily.
Ning Chong was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said, "I've seen the Seventh Elder." ”
The Seventh Elder smiled and pinched his short beard, nodded and said, "Ning Chong, you must be surprised why I came here today, right?"
Ning Chong said with a smile: "The junior really didn't expect the Seventh Elder to come today, so he has been cultivating until now, making the Seventh Elder wait for a long time, and asking the Seventh Elder to forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay! Haha, I'm here today to talk to you about the family's decision-making. You know, I personally support you, and you have practiced martial arts diligently and diligently, and in the past year, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and you even defeated the Nalan family's Nalan Weak Snow, which surprised many people. It stands to reason that your performance like this is enough for the family to pay attention to and cultivate with all their might, but a few stubborn old guys in the family still talk about your Five Elements Root Bone qualifications. ”
"In the end, after our discussion, we have made a decision, this time you will participate in the Izumo Valley Trial, as long as you perform well in the trial and add glory to the family, the family will definitely not disappoint you. After you come back, the family will focus on cultivating you as a potential core disciple, and the cultivation resources will be tilted towards you, and when the time comes, you will at least receive the same treatment as Ning Zihou!"
This is naturally something to be happy about, Ning Chong's heart is excited, and he can vaguely guess that the Seventh Elder must have made a great contribution in promoting this matter, so he smiled slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Seventh Elder!"
The Seventh Elder smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something, and sighed again: "Yuanyang has a good son...... Over the years, I haven't taken good care of you and Yuzhuyuan, Ning Chong, and I hope you don't blame me for being ......"
Ning Chong said with a smile: "The Seventh Elder is dedicated to the public, and has always been working hard for the revitalization and development of the entire family, how can the younger generation blame the Seventh Elder." ”
"Good!
Ning Chong's words were appropriate, his temperament was steady, and he was knowledgeable, and the Seventh Elder liked Ning Chong more and more as a junior, he laughed, picked up a delicate long sword from the table behind him, handed it to Ning Chong, and said, "Ning Chong, since you have practiced swordsmanship, you need to have a good sword." This inferior 'Purple Cloud Sword' was given to me by an old friend more than thirty years ago, and I am now forwarding it to you, hoping that you can continue to work hard and bravely in the martial arts, and when you achieve something in the future, you will also add glory to the family!"
The "Purple Cloud Sword" in the hands of the Seven Elders is exquisitely made, with a hollow and gold handle, upright and steady, and the three-foot sword body is wrapped in a delicate and gorgeous shark skin scabbard, although the sharpness is not obvious, but it can faintly feel a trace of purple gas coming out of the scabbard, and the end is extraordinary.
After looking at it with his own eyes and hearing the words of the Seventh Elder, Ning Chong knew that this "Purple Cloud Sword" was an expensive "treasure soldier".
Treasure soldier-level weapons, in addition to being incomparably sharp, can also slightly increase the attack power of martial arts. On the Shenwu Continent, only a "refiner" who has reached a certain level can refine treasure soldiers, so treasure soldiers are extremely rare, the price is expensive, not to mention that there may not be a place to buy them, and there is no million taels of gold casually, so Wu Xiu doesn't have to think about it at all.
Therefore, although this Purple Cloud Sword was only a "low-grade" treasure soldier, its price was at least worth at least one million taels of gold! The Seven Elders gave it away, which was really a heavy and valuable gift.
Ning Chong was taken aback, excused himself a few words, and finally accepted the Purple Cloud Sword with gratitude under the strong insistence of the Seventh Elder.
After that, the Seventh Elder had a few more words with Ning Chong, encouraging Ning Chong to continue to work hard before he got up and left Yuzhu Courtyard.
After another day, there are still two days before the trial in Izumo Valley. At this time, Ning Chong stopped cultivating, because he had one more thing to do before participating in the trial in Izumo Valley.
Without the resistance of Nalan Weak Snow, Ruan Hongfu's mother also felt sorry for her daughter, and finally agreed that Ruan Hongfu and Li Jin were together. Ning Chong was happy for them.
And Li Jin and the others have decided to leave Xuanyuan City and develop in other places, as friends, Ning Chong must be a farewell............ Ten o'clock in the morning, the morning sun is born, the official road outside Xuanyuan City stretches for ten miles, under the warm sunshine, the grass and green trees on both sides of the road are in the sky. At this time, Ning Chong had already sent Li Jin and the others out of Xuanyuan City smoothly, and they relied on each other to say goodbye.
"Brother Chong, our brother mercenary group will definitely develop, you must come and see it when the time comes!
"Ning Chong, thank you for helping us so much, I don't know when we will be able to meet again after this departure, but you will always be our good friend and brother!"
"Brother Ning Chong, if it weren't for your help this time, maybe Hongfu and I would be inseparable and separated from each other. I'm a clumsy person, I don't thank you for my great kindness, and I will be able to use my Li Jin place in the future, and I will not frown!"
...... The six sons of hip-hop, the honest Zhang Long, the grateful Li Jin, and several members of the brother mercenary group said goodbye to Ning Chong one by one, and gave Ning Chong a bear hug.
It's just that when it was Ruan Hongfu's turn, she was a little embarrassed, after all, there is a difference between men and women. When Ning Chong was hesitating, Ruan Hongfu, who was usually silent, gave Ning Chong a hug warmly and generously, and said with a smile: "Ning Chong, thank you." You are really good, if my sister hadn't met Li Jin first, she would definitely choose you, hehe!"
Ning Chong's face was tender after all, and he was teased by Ruan Hongfu like this, and his face turned red. Suddenly, Li Jin and the others burst into laughter.
After everyone parted for a while and cherished each other, Li Jin and the others began to set off.
Ning Chong finally finished this farewell, and then, all his thoughts immediately turned to the Izumo Valley trial that was about to start tomorrow. This trial will be the first time that he will truly carry the reputation of a genius and face to face directly with other Xuanyuan City geniuses......
