The Wu family refining medicine.
After Jiang Ning settled Ah Man in the guest room, he hurried to the living room.
"Senior, thank you for your kindness in rescuing the siege today. I will definitely remember this in my heart."
Wu Yong stroked his beard and smiled, and asked: "Do you blame me for not opening the door right away?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "It's a matter that has nothing to do with the seniors. It's a blessing for the juniors that the seniors can come to the rescue."
Wu Yong sipped his tea and seemed to be quite satisfied with Jiang Ning's answer, "Do you know why I finally took action to save you, even if I didn't hesitate to do evil to the Xiao family?"
"I'm sorry for my ignorance, senior, please let me know."
Wu Yong put down the tea cup and tapped the armrest with his finger, "If you Jiang Ning showed up today like a disabled person, I, the Wu Mansion, would definitely not take action. However, you actually reopened your spiritual veins. This is worthy of my visit to the Wu Mansion." Make this bet."
When Jiang Ning heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but his pupils shrank slightly and he was speechless.
"Haha, everyone has their own secrets, and I am not that curious person." Wu Yong said to himself: "To save you today, I just hope that if the Wu family encounters a genocide in the future, my little friend will When you are able to rescue the siege, I also ask you to remember today's kindness and protect the Wu family."
Jiang Ning quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "The kindness of the seniors will be remembered by the juniors. If the Wu family is in trouble in the future, the juniors will do their best to save the Wu family."
Wu Yong nodded with satisfaction, "The city exam for Tianqiong Academy will begin in seven days. One person will be selected in one city, and thousands of people will be selected in thousands of cities. Xiao Qin is now in the one-star soul refining realm, so there is no need to be careless."
"Your aura has not been consolidated yet and is fluctuating. You should go down and have a good rest first."
Jiang Ning nodded seriously when he heard this, then stepped back with fists in hand.
Watching the young man leave, Wu Yong stroked his beard and pondered. He didn't know whether it was wise to offend the Xiao clan for Jiang Ning, but he had a vague feeling that this young man was not ordinary.
.....
When Jiang Ning returned to the room, he looked at Ah Man who was already sleeping soundly on the bed, and then directly entered the Jiuji Pagoda.
Under the boundless starry sky, there is only a huge black tower towering into the clouds.
"Little guy, are you done?"
The familiar voice of the old man sounded.
Jiang Ning cupped his fists and replied, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
The old man suddenly asked: "Do you know why the alchemist came to your rescue today?"
"bet!"
"The head of the Wu family is not valuing me now, but he is betting on me in the future."
"Haha, what the alchemist said is right. If you show up in front of the Wu Mansion today as a useless person, he will definitely not take action. Offending others for a useless person is not worth the deal."
The old man continued: "So from ancient times to the present, I would rather offend the Martial Master than a seventh-grade alchemist. After all, these people's ability to do business is extraordinary. No one knows how many people there are behind a seventh-grade alchemist." Wu Zun."
"Okay, let's get down to business, do you know what the Jiuji Pagoda in front of you is called?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "Junior, I don't know, please ask senior to clarify my doubts."
The mysterious old man did not pretend to be mysterious and said directly: "The Jiuji Pagoda in front of you corresponds to the nine realms of Warrior, Body Tempering, Soul Refining, Purple Mansion, Tongxuan, Extraordinary, Saint, Xuanzun, Emperor Realm, and Imperial Realm. ."
"In the ancient times, each of the nine ancient clans controlled one layer of the pagoda, reflecting the strongest state of each clan. Your Jiang clan controls the first layer of the pagoda."
Jiang Ning was slightly absent-minded, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He didn't expect that he was actually a descendant of the nine ancient tribes mentioned by the mysterious old man?
The middle-aged man who often boasted about his greatness came to mind unconsciously.
When he was a child, every time he got drunk, the middle-aged man would hold him in his arms, look at the stars, and talk about the glorious history of the ancestors of the Jiang clan, but as he talked, he would burst into tears.
Later, after he disappeared with his mother, he was left alone, along with the words left by the middle-aged man who was drunk and crying.
"Jiang Clan, Jiang Clan, thousands of years ago, you were the leader of the nine clans who dominated the world forever. Now that the clan is destroyed, you can never go back, you can't go back!"
Jiang Ning has always regarded this sentence as a drunken remark. If he really belonged to the nine ancient tribes, how could his father marry into the Xiao family? When he heard the old man confirm his identity today, he had a vague feeling in his heart that he seemed to be shrouded in fog, and even he couldn't see clearly.
It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, demons invaded and all life in Kyushu was devastated.
Nine of the strongest humans led tens of thousands of powerful monks in a final showdown with the demons in the secret realm of Zhongzhou.
In that battle, the secret realm collapsed, the sun and the moon were dimmed, and the gods and demons shed blood.
In the end, the twelve demon kings laid down their corpses, and a hundred thousand powerful demons were reduced to ashes. However, all nine of the strongest human beings were killed in the battle, and only one or two hundred of the ten thousand strong human beings remained.
It was precisely because of this battle that the human race was able to thrive and create this ten thousand-year prosperous age for the human race.
The nine strongest human beings were also called the Nine Emperors of the Human Race by later generations, and their descendants were called the Nine Ancient Clan.
However, after the Demon Sealing War ended, the descendants of the nine tribes also disappeared in the long river of time for thousands of years.
After a long while, Jiang Ning calmed down and suddenly thought of something, he quickly asked: "Senior, when this junior first came in, there was a terrifying black mist. What was that black mist?"
The mysterious old man said in a low voice: "Bai Ze, one of the twelve Demon Emperors!"
"White Pond?"
The mysterious old man said: "Well, ten thousand years ago, during the battle to seal off the demons, the pagoda also sealed Bai Ze, but after the battle to seal the demons, the spirit of the Jiuji pagoda was destroyed, and the tower body was broken into nine pieces and scattered. All over Kyushu.”
"It is precisely because the Jiuji Pagoda is incomplete that the Demon Emperor Baize can only be sealed for thousands of years. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the power of the seal has become weaker and weaker. As expected, a year later, the seal broke. Bai Ze can no longer be suppressed, and when the time comes, as the owner of the Jiuji Pagoda, you will be the first to die."
Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, as expected, blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, "Senior, how can this junior stop it?"
The old man paused slightly and said with a slightly more solemn tone, "Become Jiuji!"
"Becoming Jiuji?"
The old man explained: "The nine realms are the ultimate, and the realm is the strongest. Every time you become the best of one realm, the seal can last for one more year. When you reach the nine realms, you can find the tower body and become the tower master. Only then will it be possible to completely wipe out Bai Ze."
Jiang Ning pondered slightly and asked, "How can I achieve the strongest state?"
The mysterious old man replied with a smile: "You will know when you enter the first floor."
After hearing this, Jiang Ning went directly to the door of the first floor without any hesitation.
This time he was not pushed away by an invisible force, he pushed the door open smoothly and walked in.
But before he could clearly see the situation on the first floor, a figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then a punch hit his chest.
Jiang Ning saw this and quickly raised his arms to block.
"boom!"
A terrifying force came.
The next moment, Jiang Ning's arms and arm bones were instantly shattered, his chest was dented, and he flew backwards from the first floor, falling heavily outside the tower.
"Hiss...it hurts!"
Jiang Ning's face was pale and he was lying on the ground. The mysterious man's punch made him feel like all the bones in his body were falling apart.
Just as he endured the pain and struggled to get up from the ground, a golden light fell from the sky and enveloped his whole body.
The originally broken arm bones were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the slightly collapsed chest was also restored to its original state.
The mysterious old man's gloating voice sounded in his ears, "Haha, boy, why did you get beaten out so quickly?"
Jiang Ning, who didn't know what was going on, asked with some confusion: "Senior, what is this?"
The mysterious old man said with a smile: "The person you met on the first level is the ancestor of your Jiang clan. His body tempering state was the strongest ten thousand years ago. If you want to be the strongest, you must defeat him before you can reach the top." Second floor."
"As for the injuries you suffered in Jiuji Pagoda, except for the pain, all other injuries will be healed instantly. By the way, one day inside the pagoda and ten days outside, so you can enjoy the care of your ancestor Jiang."
Hearing the old man's explanation, Jiang Ning immediately felt relieved. As for the second half of the teasing, Jiang Ning had a vague feeling.
Ancestral care? Just a punch when we meet?
The golden light faded away, and the body returned to its original state.
Since one day was inside the tower and ten days were outside, that was enough time. Jiang Ning twisted his neck and looked at the gate on the first floor, with a strong desire to win in his eyes.
"Both are in the nine-star body tempering realm, so let me see how strong the ancestor is!"
Jiang Ning bowed his knees slightly, suddenly exerted force, and shot his body into the first floor like an arrow.
The next second, Jiang Ning flew out from the first floor like a kite with its string broken, and fell to the ground.
“…”
"Come again!"
