In the restaurant, the middle-aged man took a big sip of wine and felt extremely comfortable.
Then he introduced himself with a smile.
"My little friend is really sharp-eyed. I didn't expect to be able to see the way out of something like this."
"By the way, I don't know my little friend's name yet. My surname is Wu, and my single name is Xu."
Bai Ning smiled and nodded: "I'm Bai Yuning."
Wu Xu smiled and said: "Brother Bai, I see how much older you are, so I can just call you 'Brother Bai', okay?"
"Brother Wu, it's up to you." Bai Ning responded with a smile.
Wu Xu felt like he was smiling but not smiling. There will be times when you will regret it in the future!
"That would be great." Wu Xu smiled.
"Brother Bai must have guessed what I was thinking."
Bai Ning nodded and said: "Brother Wu, these things should come from a certain secret realm, and this secret realm is probably still unexplored."
"Brother Wu is looking for a 'destined person'. He is probably in trouble. He wants to find someone to join him and explore the secret place together. Am I right?"
Wu Xu laughed: "It's comfortable to deal with smart people."
"It seems that Brother Bai is also an expert."
Bai Ning smiled and waved his hand: "I don't dare, I just did a little research."
"So, am I right?"
Wu Xu nodded and looked a little more solemn: "It is indeed a secret place that has never been discovered by anyone, and I was the first to discover it."
"There are many treasures in it, but I can't survive alone, so I want to find a companion to explore the secret place together."
"I wonder, Brother Bai, are you interested?"
Bai Ning looked at Wu Xu, really unsure of what he was thinking.
I don’t know how sincere Wu Xu is in this.
Bai Ning said: "Brother Wu, in fact, ordinary secret realms don't have much appeal to me, unless there is something I can't refuse."
Wu Xu smiled: "I understand, I understand."
"What if I say that this small world is the base camp left by a certain saint thousands of years ago?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ning was shocked and looked at Wu Xu's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Bai Ning admitted that this indeed piqued his interest.
Bai Ning asked suspiciously: "Which saint?"
Wu Xu laughed, as if on guard, drinking alone.
Bai Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy was quite wary.
Wu Xu also laughed secretly in his heart, isn't it easy to control this little guy like you?
Wu Xu seemed to be waiting for Bai Ning's reply.
Bai Ning pondered for a moment.
His eyes became slightly firm.
"Okay! As long as there is nothing wrong with what Brother Wu said, then I will go with Brother Wu on this trip!"
Wu Xu smiled with satisfaction: "This is the best!"
"But we have to start the scandal first, and don't end up committing murder and stealing goods at the end."
Hearing this, Wu Xu smiled and said: "Brother Bai is just kidding. Brother Bai is an extraordinary person at first glance. How dare I?"
"After we enter the secret realm, except for some restrictions that need to be broken together, we can each rely on our own abilities to get as much as we can."
Bai Ning nodded: "This is the best."
"Brother, when will we set off?" Wu Xu asked with a smile.
Bai Ning said: "The candle dragon trial in the Palace of the Past is about to begin. I have to help Miss Luo Qingshi compete for the position of saint before I can leave."
Wu Xu smiled: "Okay, it won't matter if it's a few days late. There's no rush anyway."
He took a sip of wine, smiled and asked, "Is it possible that Brother Bai and Luo Qingshi have that kind of relationship?"
Bai Ning smiled: "I'm just doing a favor."
Wu Xu smiled: "Luo Qingshi is a rare beauty. With such a good opportunity, Brother Bai, don't you plan to try it?"
Bai Ning shook his head: "Bai has someone he likes."
Hearing this, Wu Xu snorted in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that this is Lang Qing's concubine. It's just a pity for such a great beauty like Luo Qingshi."
Bai Ning shook his head and said nothing.
Afterwards, the two exchanged contact jade slips, and Bai Ning left.
Dichen didn't speak the whole time.
Only then did he ask: "Junior brother, are you sure you want to explore the secret realm with this guy?"
"You don't even know this guy. Isn't it a bit dangerous?"
Bai Ning shook his head: "This guy has a perfect cultivation level of the innate realm, so there won't be any problems."
"And if there is nothing wrong with the secret realm he mentioned, then maybe you can actually go there. It should be a nice place, and maybe some good things will come out."
Dichen nodded: "Okay, let's go together then."
Bai Ning was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said nothing more.
...
Watching Bai Ning leave, the middle-aged man's mouth curved slightly.
"Boy, you will feel better next..."
...
Two days passed quickly.
Bai Ning and Dichen spent two days fighting in the inn.
Wait until the Candle Dragon War begins.
The battle situation will be projected in real time in the eight surrounding cities.
The entire Palace of Purity was also bustling with people, and there were some people who came to watch the ceremony.
Bai Ning and Dichen soon arrived at the core area of the Palace of Purity under the leadership of Luo Qingshi.
They followed Luo Qingshi quietly.
Bai Ning's masked face made many people's teeth itch.
A square was crowded with people.
Each of the four major candidate saints and saints occupies one side.
Bai Ning glanced over and finally saw the person behind the attack.
Ye Qiuyu has already met him.
Then there was Lin Che, a man with slightly gloomy eyes.
At this time, he locked his eyes on Luo Qingshi and him from time to time.
That kind of provocation is extremely obvious.
He was also very heartbroken when the God Binding Ling was lost.
Next to Lin Che, there was a silent woman who stood out. Many people looked at her.
Number 16 on the list of gods, Yao Wenjing!
A very scary woman!
Being able to have such a ranking on that list is enough to prove that she is extraordinary.
If you think about it, you will know what kind of price Lin Che paid for the position of the Holy Son!
It's not a small price to pay for asking her to come.
For such a matter, the senior officials of the Palace of Purity will not say much, it is all their own connections.
Even after becoming a Holy Son, things like this are still necessary, and connections are very important.
Noticing Bai Ning's gaze, Yao Wenjing looked indifferent and did not take Bai Ning seriously at all.
Then Bai Ning set his sights on a slightly charming woman.
At a glance, one can tell where this woman falls compared to Luo Qingshi.
Although Li Lanxin looks more choppy than Luo Qingshi in some parts.
But Luo Qingshi's pure temperament was something that the other party could not catch up to even at the risk of his life.
Luo Qingshi is like the white moonlight in the hearts of the disciples of the Palace of Purity.
Li Lanxin was wearing a purple skirt, which highlighted her slim figure, and her eyes flashed with charming light waves from time to time.
And next to Li Lanxin was Feng Mingjue, who was ranked twelfth on the list of gods!
Ranked higher than Yao Wenjing!
At this time, he remained silent and waited quietly.
Needless to say, Ye Qiuyu is a guy who seems to be taciturn.
Behind each of the three of them stood ten people, who were helpers to help them participate in the Candle Dragon Trial.
But there were only six people on Luo Qingshi's side.
Luo Qingshi's expression was extremely calm, and there was no trace of any disturbance.
"Where is this Candle Dragon Trial held?" Bai Ning asked lightly.
Luo Qingshi responded calmly: "In one of the spatial treasures in my Palace of Rebirth, you will understand it soon."
Bai Ning just nodded and didn't think much.
Luo Qingshi seemed to have not seen the hostility bursting out from the other two people, completely ignoring it.
From another direction, Bai Ning noticed Tianji Sect Zhang Xuanyun, several Tianji Sect disciples, and two or three old men.
Zhang Xuanyun looked at Bai Ning with a look that could eat Bai Ning alive.
Zhang Xuanyun said a few words to the old man beside him.
The old man glanced at Bai Ning seemingly unintentionally.
Then he started counting in his hands.
But it soon ended.
His pupils suddenly shrank, his chest groaned, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
I was really tricked!
He looked at Zhang Xuanyun with an annoyed look and was almost sent away.
"Master, how are you doing?"
How about your size!
He said with a gloomy look: "Don't count him, I can't count him either!"
Zhang Xuanyun looked shocked: "How is this possible?"
The old man said with an angry look on his face: "If you try to trick him again, be careful and he will be killed on the spot!"
Zhang Xuanyun was stunned... and looked at Bai Ning in disbelief.
Soon, a white-haired old man wearing a wide-sleeved robe appeared on the scene.
"See the Great Elder!"
A uniform voice sounded.
Bai Ning also stared slightly, a figure of great rank.
The old man smiled and nodded.
With a smile on his face: "Haha, thank you fellow Taoists for coming to watch the ceremony."
The old man nodded slightly to some of the outsiders present.
"Today is the time for me to elect my Son in the Palace of Rebirth."
"The Candle Dragon Trial will determine the position of the Holy Son, and then the Zen Ceremony will be held!"
"The Candle Dragon Trial will begin immediately."
"Open the Candle Dragon Realm!"
...
