After knowing who Pang Jian was, Lu Ning felt a little uneasy.
Zhou Yi must have used Pang Jian's information to get some kind of deal from Huang Chou.
Next, Huang Chou only needs to investigate the day when the empress ascended the throne and a killer was killed. Who killed him can be traced to him.
At present, it is not known why the black-faced man is looking for Pang Jian. If Pang Jian and the black-faced man are from the same sect, then he is in danger.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning no longer wanted to find the ghost child, nor did he want to travel with the empress Zhou Yan. She just wanted to return to Beijing and Zhou as soon as possible.
"go back?"
Zhou Yanxiu frowned and said, "Why are you so anxious? There are still two months until June 6th?"
Lu Ning smiled and said: "We have been traveling for more than two months, why not go back from Youzhou and give yourself some time to settle down."
Zhou Yan nodded: "Okay, if you don't tell me to go back, I still plan to go to Yanzhou and then to Beimang."
"Looks like I have to wait for another chance!"
The trip out of the palace lasted for more than two months, and she gained a lot. Her cultivation level broke through to the first level, and her state of mind also improved a lot.
There are differences between the world of Great Zhou that we read about in books and what we see with our own eyes. The majestic mountains and rivers can indeed change a person's state of mind.
April 12th.
After traveling for nearly three months, Lu Ning and Zhou Yan returned to Beijing and Zhou. The most dangerous part of the journey was to investigate the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect, but other than that, they did not encounter any danger.
After returning to the Marquis of Shenwu's Mansion and changing into the empress' previous luxury carriage, Empress Zhou Yan and Bai Xue left the Marquis' Mansion and headed towards the palace.
Before Lu Ning even sat down, she heard Li Qingbai's voice transmission.
"Chang'an, our master has heard news about Pang Jian." Li Qingbai sat up straighter on the golden stage and said.
He sensed it when Lu Ning entered Jingzhou City.
Lu Ning smiled bitterly and said through a message: "Master, I was the one who killed Pang Jian!"
After Li Qingbai received the message from Huang Chou, he investigated what happened on the day the empress ascended the throne. There was indeed a black-clad killer. The first one to strike was Cao Dachun, and the one who struck the fatal blow was Lu Ning.
"Boy, you must not admit it. Just say that Cao Dachun killed him. He is already dead. There is no proof of his death."
Lu Ning took a deep breath, "Master, is that black-faced man very powerful?"
Li Qingbai pondered for a while, "He comes from the Jue Sect of the Great Zhou Immortal Realm. He cultivates in the Xuan Realm. The Xuan Realm is divided into nine levels. If the first level is the lowest and the ninth level is the strongest, he is the seventh level of the Xuan Realm, which is seven levels higher than you." grade."
"To use an analogy from the mortal world, you are just starting out in martial arts, and you are at the third level of cultivation."
"So it would be easy for him to kill you."
"If the black-faced man finds you, just don't admit it and leave the rest to my master."
Lu Ning's face was extremely ugly. It seemed that with his current cultivation level, he couldn't stop the black-faced man at all.
"Master, I understand!" Lu Ning nodded.
It seems that those 30 billion experience should be improved to break through the realm.
Lu Ning stared outside the main hall with a frown. He wanted to improve his cultivation level, but he didn't know how big the impact would be if he broke through to the first level.
After pondering for a long time in the main hall, Lu Ning had a plan in mind.
He took a look at the experience: 33,956,000,000 points.
Lu Ning plans to keep 30 billion experience points. If the black-faced man comes to him and kills him, he will break through the first-level Poji realm and reach the super-first level, which is the second stage of martial arts.
Even if you can't defeat the black-faced man by then, you won't be killed, right?
evening.
Lu Qing returned to his house and shared a happy event with Lu Ning.
"Second brother, I'm an official!"
Lu Qing was wearing a purple official uniform, which was a new official uniform specially designed for women entering officialdom.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "What grade are you at?"
Lu Qing grinned and said: "Fifth rank, doctor of the Ministry of War."
Lu Ning was stunned. He was only at level 5. Who would believe it if he didn’t have connections?
He is also a doctor in the Ministry of War, no wonder he looks so airy when he walks!
"Haha, fifth grade is great, do your best!" Lu Ning patted the little girl on the shoulder and encouraged her with a smile.
Seeing the constipated expression on Lu Ning's face, Lu Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Fifth-grade doctor in the Ministry of War, I am not relying on your relationship. When Zhang Shoufu summoned me, I told him that there is no need to give face to my second brother."
"Zhang Shoufu, don't you understand? He is an upright man. After asking where I studied, he directly arranged for me to be a fifth-grade doctor...!"
"puff!"
Lu Ning spat out a sip of tea. He didn't care about my face. Does your master, Bingsheng Zhuge Xiangru, have very little face?
"What do you mean?"
Lu Qing stood up and held his waist with his hands, "The tea doesn't taste good. Just tell me and I'll give you another cup."
Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh, "You'd better sit down. Fifth-grade doctor, I feel like I've wronged you. The same goes for Zhang Juming. He doesn't look at my face but also looks at your master's face. He really doesn't have any face at all." Don’t give it!”
Lu Qing chuckled and said, "I'm very satisfied with this!"
Lu Ning almost spit out tea again. You just became a fifth-grade doctor and you are still not satisfied. You want to go to heaven!
In a blink of an eye, April 20th.
Experience: 36,756 million points.
For seven or eight days after returning to Beijing, Lu Ning did not go out. He stayed at home to teach brother and sister Long Ge, and watched his younger sister Lu Qing go to and from court every day. Occasionally, his spiritual consciousness would glance at the Baiyun Taoist Temple to take a look at his elder brother, sister-in-law, and Lu Xue.
Or browse the Heavenly Punishment Catalog to see the various rewards.
"Any talisman?"
Lu Ning pinched his chin. He had obtained this random talisman a long time ago but had never used it.
"Brother Lu!"
At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Pei Tianbei came quickly on a horse and strode into the house.
"You're back, why didn't you say anything?"
Pei Tianbei rushed to Lu Ning and said speechlessly.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I just came back not long ago!"
At this time, Qiulan and other servants brought a chair to Pei Tianbei.
Pei Tianbei sat next to Lu Ning and whispered: "Brother Lu, there is still no news about Pang Jian from the Demon Suppression Division. Even the barbarians have asked, but they have never heard of this person."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "No need to check, I already have information about this person."
"Yes?"
Pei Tianbei was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Who is Pang Jian?"
Lu Ning stared at Pei Tianbei. He pondered whether to tell the latter, because Pei Tianbei had also seen Pang Jian.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning smiled and said, "You'd better stop asking, and don't worry about this matter."
When Lu Ning refused to tell him, Pei Tianbei was speechless.
Lu Ning didn't say it, not because he couldn't trust Pei Tianbei, but because of the news about Pang Jian, he knew that the fewer people there, the better.
"When I went out this time, I saw the murderer of your master!"
"real?"
When Pei Tianbei heard this, his attention immediately shifted.
He was also looking for the murderer of his master, but he never found anything.
"Brother Lu, tell me who it is!"
"Don't get excited!"
Lu Ning took a look, and Pei Tian, who was full of murderous intent, said sadly: "That person is very powerful, you may not be his match."
Pei Tianbei said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, you only need to tell me who he is and whether you can kill him or not. That is my ability."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "That man is called Gui Zizi. I met him once and let him escape."
"I guess he will definitely participate in the battle for luck, so you don't need to go looking for him now. You only need to increase your strength to the strongest. When the battle for luck comes, just kill him."
In the competition for luck, Pei Tianbei is the default quota.
Pei Tianbei's master is Master Wukong, so he has an unofficial quota.
Hearing Lu Ning's words, Pei Tianbei suppressed his excitement, "Ghost kid? I will crush him to death!"
Lu Ning didn't say anything. That ghost kid was in the late first-level stage in February, and now it's April. Who knows if there will be any progress in his cultivation?
Besides, there is still more than a month until the luck battle on June 6, and those who compete for luck should make breakthroughs.
"Brother Lu, I'm back to the Demon-Suppressing Division!"
Pei Tianbei said after calming down.
Lu Ning nodded and watched him leave.
Then he also left the Hou Mansion and took a carriage to the palace.
When Lu Ning came out from the imperial dining room carrying imperial wine, braised pork, and peanuts, he saw Eunuch Liu, Sizheng of the Chengxuan Department.
After not seeing each other for several months, Eunuch Liu Jin and Liu Jin unexpectedly reached the third level of early stage cultivation.
His temperament is more and more similar to the original Cao Dachun. The only difference is that Liu Jin is more energetic than Cao Dachun.
Of course, this also has something to do with age.
Lu Ning ignored Liu Jin and got on the carriage to go to Golden Platform.
On the golden stage.
Li Qingbai was adjusting his breath. When he saw Lu Ning approaching, he took a breath and opened his eyes.
Lu Ning put the food and wine on the table and poured a glass for Li Qingbai: "Master, have a drink first!"
Li Qingbai nodded with a smile, took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Ning did not drink. He took out a jade bottle from his body and said, "Master, this bottle is a healing elixir. I don't know if it will work on your injury. Why don't you try it."
Li Qingbai was a little curious. He took a look at the jade bottle and poured out a pill. It was indeed a healing pill.
"The level is too low and it is useless for my injury."
Li Qingbai shook his head secretly, then put the healing elixir in his mouth and ate it. He threw the white jade bottle to Lu Ning and said, "You can keep it for yourself."
After swallowing the healing pill, Li Qingbai found that there was a trace of heat in his body. The injury was indeed recovering, but it was only a trace. Even if he swallowed all the pills in the white jade bottle, it would not have much effect.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Not only were my meridians injured, my Qi Sea Heaven Pill was also damaged, and my soul was even more seriously injured... You don't know what the soul is yet, but you will understand later."
Lu Ning shook his head: "Master, the records about Yuan Shen in the Great Conferring God Art say that it is the combination of spiritual consciousness and soul."
Li Qingbai was right. There was indeed a record of this in the great art of conferring gods, but there was no record of how to cultivate the soul.
"My master's injury is relatively serious. I need to obtain two kinds of elixirs, the high-grade Yuan Shen Dan and the high-grade Heaven-Building Pill. These two elixirs are not easy to obtain even in the Great Zhou Immortal Realm, so the injury is hopeless. I don’t even intend to treat him as a teacher, so I will just end my life like this.”
Li Qingbai sighed, he had no plans to leave the mortal world again.
Given his longevity, he could still live for a few years as long as he didn't engage in serious warfare.
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Master, don't worry. If this disciple goes to the Great Zhou Immortal Realm one day, he will definitely find the Yuanshen Pill and the Heaven-Building Pill for Master."
Li Qingbai waved his hand: "Being a teacher is really unnecessary. You don't need to take that risk. Just keep going step by step."
Lu Ning nodded and did not continue the question.
"Master, have the places for those competing for luck been determined?"
"good."
Li Qingbai nodded and said: "There are eighteen people decided by default, plus the three people chosen by the martial arts conference, there are twenty-one people in total."
"Twenty-one people, in the end there are only three places."
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Master, if you can't obtain the power of luck, will you be unable to leave this world?"
Li Qingbai shook his head: "That's not true. As long as you reach the first level and have luck or not, you can leave this world."
"The battle for luck is a battle under the Xuan Realm. Once you reach the first level, you are no longer qualified to compete."
Lu Ning was slightly stunned. Fortunately, he did not add experience to his cultivation in advance, otherwise he would not be eligible to participate.
Li Qingbai saw Lu Ning stunned and said with a smile: "Actually, the battle of luck is to give first-class geniuses a chance. If you get the battle of luck, you can leave this world early and enter the Great Zhou Immortal World. With that trace of luck, It’s easy to reach the mysterious realm.”
"If you can't fight for it, you can only stay in the mortal world and break through the mysterious realm through a little enlightenment and hard work. From all aspects, you will be much slower than others."
Lu Ning nodded: "One step faster, each step faster!"
"yes!"
Li Qingbai smiled and said: "So, this is a big opportunity!"
Lu Ning said: "If this disciple knows, he will definitely win a spot."
Li Qingbai nodded happily.
The first day of May.
Experience: 40,256 million points.
Lu Ning went to the Spring and Autumn Sword Gate. Li Jingxuan pointed the jade wrench to Lu Ning. Lu Ning entered the Sword Gate. Half a day later, the sword energy on Tongtian Peak soared into the sky.
Lu Ning raised the "Spring and Autumn Sword Art" to perfection in Sword Gate.
Experience: 27,756 million points.
When he fused the perfect "Spring and Autumn Sword Technique" with the perfect "Dragon Light Sword Technique", he found that the fusion was impossible.
Lu Ning guessed that the level of "Three Points Returning to Vitality" was not enough, so he had to use "Hetian Jue" to fuse it, but he had not practiced Hetian Jue at all, so he couldn't integrate Xuanpin swordsmanship at all.
Lu Ning raised "Hetian Jue" to the beginner's level in Jianmen.
Experience: 24,756 million points.
Kung Fu: Hetian Jue (beginner, 0/6 billion).
After reaching the beginner level in "Hetian Jue", Lu Ning did not continue to improve because he had to ensure that 30 billion experience points were reserved for the breakthrough to the mysterious realm.
Before the end of the month, experience can reach 30 billion.
But if you use it too much, the experience will be less than 30 billion by then.
Lu Ning tried the Beginner's Level of "Hetian Jue", but still could not fuse the two Xuanpin Sword Jue. Perhaps it was because "Spring and Autumn Sword Jue" was at the Mysterious Grade, and the Beginner's level of "Hetian Jue" was not qualified enough.
So Lu Ning used the Spring and Autumn Sword Art of the Perfect Realm to comprehend and pass through the levels in the Sword Gate, and appeared on Tongtian Peak in half a day.
After leaving the jade ring to Li Jingxuan, Lu Ning returned to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
In a blink of an eye, it’s half a month again.
Experience: 29,656 million points.
In the past month since he returned to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty after traveling, Lu Ning had never seen a black-faced man come to him, and there was even no movement in Huangquan Town.
Maybe the black-faced man returned to the Great Zhou Immortal Realm. After all, the time in the Great Zhou Immortal Realm is different from that of the mortal world.
In the past month in the mortal world, there should be only a few days in the Great Zhou Immortal World.
"One day in the fairy world, one year in the mortal world!?"
A glint flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. Although it was not so exaggerated, the time was indeed different.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ning disappeared from the recliner in the next moment and appeared in the martial arts arena. He suddenly appeared next to Long Mei, who was exuding black energy, and quickly took action to calm her down.
"Another attack!?"
After Lu Ning knocked Long Mei unconscious, he looked at Long Ge, who was blushing and thick-necked. Long Ge shook his head and said he was fine.
Lu Ning lowered his head and looked at Long Mei. Since sealing the real demon Luo Hanyi, Long Mei had an attack for the third time. There was no time pattern and it was very irregular. She would have an attack even without any stimulation.
"Improve her cultivation as soon as possible."
Lu Ning's "Great Divine Conferring Technique" cannot enter Long Mei's eyebrows, so it can't help much.
She can only use dragon blood to quickly improve her cultivation.
"Dragon blood...dragon blood is gone too!"
Lu Ning took a deep breath and looked at Long Ge: "You take care of her, I'll be right back!"
Before Long Ge could nod, Lu Ning had already left the Hou Mansion.
Xuanlong Mountain.
A figure swayed over, it was Lu Ning.
After he appeared, he stared out of the lava cave under Xuanlong Mountain with a solemn expression. He saw a young man in sackcloth breaking the seal left by the Xuanlong.
When Lu Ning appeared, the boy in linen felt something. He looked up at Lu Ning, turned around and disappeared into the soil.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed, "It's really you!"
Before in Jade Dragon City, he felt that the boy in Mai was the ghost child of the Mie Wan Gui Sect and the Blood Demon Sect, but the latter was clean and did not completely explode, so he did not interrupt the martial arts conference.
Unexpectedly, the ghost child changed his name to Dongfang Qiubai.
Is Turtle Island named after it because it is in the east?
Lu Ning did not chase the ghost child. Anyway, the sixth day of June was approaching. In order to compete for the power of luck, the ghost child could not escape. It would not be too late to kill the ghost child then.
Lu Ning broke through the mountain with a sword and entered the lava cave, feeling strange in his heart.
Why can he enter the lava cave, but the ghost child can only attack with the black dragon seal outside the lava cave?
"Boy, if you're not an immortal, can you come in again and again?"
The extremely mysterious golden gourd, which had not appeared for a long time, popped up again at this moment.
Lu Ning frowned: "Where have you been these past six months?"
"Hey...are you thinking of this immortal?"
The golden gourd jumped up and down, and regardless of Lu Ning's expression, he said proudly: "I only do one thing every day...!"
"What's the matter?" Lu Ning glanced at him.
"eat!"
"...!"
"Oh! It's so boring. After eating the big fairy, eat the small fairy. The little fairy doesn't taste good at all. I have no appetite."
"...!"
Lu Ning was speechless. He could only get used to this golden gourd who talked nonsense.
Ignoring the golden gourd, Lu Ning used the Spring and Autumn Sword.
A sword broke through the ten times heavier space and struck into the magma. However, the black dragon soul appeared and roared at Lu Ning.
"Why can't this evil dragon hide out?" Lu Ning's face darkened and he quickly retreated to the lava cave.
The black dragon soul glared at Lu Ning and signaled Lu Ning to leave.
"Senior Dragon Soul, I just want to come and get some dragon blood!" Lu Ning said hurriedly.
The black dragon soul could certainly understand. After pondering for a moment, it waved its claws, and a ball of golden fire-colored dragon blood appeared in front of Lu Ning. It looked more powerful than the gilded dragon blood of the Black Flame Horned Dragon.
Lu Ning was overjoyed and quickly took out the jade bottle to fill it.
"Boy, leave some for me...!"
"Keep you here, uncle!"
Lu Ning hurriedly pretended, but even so, he only pretended half of it, and half of the dragon's blood was swallowed up by the golden gourd.
The black dragon soul glanced at the golden gourd, then stared at Lu Ning, then roared and dived into the magma, disappearing in an instant.
After Jin Gourd swallowed some dragon blood, he seemed very satisfied, "Boy, do you know why the evil dragon didn't come out?"
Lu Ning frowned and said, "He's afraid of me!"
Jin Hulu said: "Yes or no, he is sealed and cannot defeat you, but he can use you to deal with Xuanlong so that he can benefit from it."
"So Xuanlong heard that you just wanted some dragon blood, so he gave it to you!"
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Is that so?"
Jin Gourd snorted and said: "Of course that's not the case. Xuanlong only gave you the dragon's blood because he looked at the face of this immortal. Otherwise, you would be like that ghost boy just now and you wouldn't even be able to enter this lava cave."
Lu Ning pouted: "That's nonsense. The first time I came in, I didn't expect you, right?"
Jin Hulu said: "You are a bit stubborn, right? I ask you, was I here when you first came to this lava cave?"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "You are here, but what does it have to do with you?"
Jin Gulu hummed: "Without my help from this Immortal, you wouldn't be able to get in at all. You really think you are awesome!"
Lu Ning also snorted, turned around and broke through the lava cave with his sword, appearing on a peak in Xuanlong Mountain. The golden gourd was also very fast. As soon as he stood firm, the latter also appeared out of thin air.
Lu Ning's eyes flickered. This golden gourd was not without merit. At least he had a lot of knowledge, was fast, and most importantly, was a good braggart.
It's fun to stay around and listen to him brag when you're bored.
"Are you a gourd and become an immortal, or are you an immortal hiding in a gourd?"
"Hehe...boy, you are finally starting to become curious about me. Curiosity is a good thing!"
"...Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me if I ask you."
"Don't worry, as for whether this immortal became an immortal from a gourd, or whether an immortal hid in a gourd, this matter has to be discussed from the beginning...!"
"...Speak slowly!"
Lu Ning was speechless. If the gourd becomes an immortal, then the gourd will become an immortal. You have to pull so many balls!
"Boy, what are you doing running so fast? I tell you, this immortal is not the Calabash Immortal..." Jin Gulu chased directly to the Shenwu Hou Mansion in Jingzhou and appeared in the room of the Long Ge brothers and sisters. The Golden Gourd was still chattering.
"Sir, this...!"
Long Ge stared at the golden gourd with a surprised look on his face, and the golden gourd also circled around Long Ge: "Yo yo yo, spirit pattern... no, divine pattern warrior!?"
Lu Ning had just taken out the white jade bottle and was surprised when he heard that Jin Gourd was called Dragon Ge Divine Pattern Warrior: "Do you know Divine Pattern Warrior!?"
"Boy Lu, who do you look down on?"
"Is there anything in the world that I don't know about?"
"All heavens and worlds?"
Lu Ning's brows sank. This golden gourd's knowledge was indeed vast, and all the worlds confirmed the records of anecdotes from other worlds in the Gu family's library.
"Ahem... Mr. Lu, these are still too far away from you, so don't ask me anymore."
"But this boy with divine patterns is quite a talent!"
"Yo...Is there another one on the bed?"
The golden gourd appeared on the bed and shook it in front of the unconscious Long Mei.
Lu Ning glanced at it, stepped forward and poured a drop of dragon's blood from the white jade bottle into Long Mei's mouth.
In just a moment, Long Mei opened her eyes suddenly, a flash of pain flashed in her eyes, and then the sound of dragons roaring, tigers roaring, phoenixes roaring, and Xuanwu roaring came from her body.
"Haha, it's still the Four Elephant Divine Patterns!?"
Jin Gourd was also very surprised, "In this broken world, there are actually four warriors with divine patterns. How interesting!"
The fact that the Four Elephants Divine Marks can be carved on two people's bodies shows that the origins of these two children are not simple.
"Boy Lu, from now on, I will live in the house!"
Lu Ning glanced at him: "It doesn't matter where you live. The question is, do you know about divine patterns?"
