It was night, Lei Yun was sitting behind a desk, and Ning Tao was sitting aside, waiting for his third uncle to speak. However, Lei Yun, who had always shown an impetuous character, was drinking tea and wondering what he was thinking about.
Ning Tao was called here in the middle of the night and didn't know what his uncle's plans were. He was confused. Seeing that Lei Yun had no intention of talking, he didn't want to disturb him and sat quietly aside to drink tea with Lei Yun.
After a while, Lei Yun's eyes moved, and he silently put down the tea cup, took out another cup, and poured hot tea into it.
Ning Tao was wondering when he heard three gentle knocks on the door. The Jindan monk who spoke last today pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing that besides Lei Yun, Ning Tao was also in the room, his face was startled.
When Lei Yun saw the person coming, he invited him to sit down and explained: "My nephew, don't worry about it."
Hearing this, the monk smiled and slapped Ning Tao on his head and said with a smile.
"It turns out that he is a disciple of Taoist friend Dan Chenzi. When I met him today, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. I'm Xunming, and I'm staying in Nanjun City temporarily. If I have time in the future, I can go to Nanjun to play, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Ning Tao saw that the Jindan monk was so polite and quickly returned the favor. The reason why he was so polite to him was not because of himself, but because of his master's face.
If you are arrogant and rude, and really think too highly of yourself, although others won't say anything on the surface, they may secretly say that your master's disciples are incompetent and that you have fallen into the disgrace of your master.
The monk named Xun Ming finished greeting Ning Tao and turned to Lei Yun. To make a long story short, after expressing his intention, he handed a jade box with a ban on it to Lei Yun.
Lei Yun opened the jade box, looked at it, chatted with the monk for a few words, and sent him out. Only then did Ning Tao suddenly realize.
After sending Xun Ming away, Lei Yun turned around and returned to the desk. He stared at Ning Tao with a half-smile and asked, "Boy, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Ning Tao stood up, bowed sincerely, and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Hearing this, Lei Yun smiled and said: "These Jindan families have been vassalized under our sect, which has given them great benefits. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. During the day, this group of people spoke with a hint of tact. Just for tonight."
"If you encounter these things in the future, don't feel any psychological pressure. The monks who go out to perform tasks have the right to deal with them temporarily. This is also a benefit given to us by the sect. As long as we live up to the sect, there will be nothing wrong with us."
"And this method, which seems like accepting bribes, is actually a way to beat them."
"The final decision will depend on who is most suitable to take over Wenshan City."
When Ning Tao heard this, he stood up and saluted and thanked: "Ning Tao has learned a lesson."
After saying this, Lei Yun paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Sit down, someone is here again."
A few breaths later, there was another knock on the door. This time it was the monk surnamed Geng who came in who was the first to speak today.
...
Most of the night passed, and Ning Tao returned to his room. What happened today had a big impact on him.
I didn't expect that this world of immortality seems to be somewhat different from the mortal world. Although strength is respected, many things are still in common. It seems that it is time for me to read some mortal books to enrich myself.
...
The next day, it was also the meeting hall of the Zhang family. When Lei Yun saw all the people arriving, he spoke straight to the point.
"I thought about it all night yesterday and decided to let one of the Geng family or the Xun family take over Wenshan City. I will report the matter to the sect later. Let the sect decide who will take over Wenshan City in the end. .”
"Fellow Daoist Geng, Friend Daoist Xun, please wait for a few days until the sect decides on the candidate, and then you can start preparing for this matter."
Everyone in the hall had different expressions when they heard this, but they did not lose their composure.
Next, Lei Yun made arrangements for the task of tracking down the hidden remnants of the Zhang family, making these immortal cultivating families specifically responsible for this matter.
...
A few days later, as expected by Ning Tao, Geng Zong, who had paid more, finally got the ownership of Wenshan City as he wished.
After Lei Yun also supervised the relocation of the Geng family, he came to Linze City, the former place of the Geng family, and was temporarily responsible for specific matters, waiting for the arrival of the Jindan monks sent by the sect.
A few days later, the former Qingshan Taoist and the golden elixir monk named Wu Gu also returned to Wenshan City, and their identities changed again, becoming the two golden elixir priests of the Yaowang Sect.
One person serves as the city lord of Linze City, and the other person serves as the deputy city lord and is responsible for the specific affairs of Linze City.
Lei Yun disposed of these properly and led the sect disciples, as well as the massive amount of spiritual stones harvested from the Zhang family's assets, back to the sect.
Ning Tao, Geng Zong, who had newly become the lord of Wenshan City, and the foundation-building monks of the Geng family, sent Lei Yun and others away, and then were pulled into the mansion that had changed from the Zhang family to the Geng family.
...
The full moon hung high in the sky, and dozens of monks were enjoying the beautiful dance of the mortal singer in the middle of the high pavilion.
There were also some male foundation-building monks who couldn't bear it anymore and embraced the women who were regarded as the top priority in the world's fireworks scene, and held their hands up and down.
Ning Tao, who had been drinking with everyone for a while, couldn't adapt to this scene. He got up and walked to a quiet threshold alone. Looking at the night view of Wenshan City that had restored order, he raised his glass and drank alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sensing someone coming behind him, Ning Tao turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful girl walking towards him holding a jade pot.
Seeing Ning Tao, the girl who walked to Ning Tao's side refilled the wine bottle that Ning Tao was about to finish drinking.
Her red lips parted slightly and she said softly: "Senior Brother Ning is not drinking with all the uncles. I am here alone. Is there anything bothering me?"
"If you have any troubles, you can tell Ling'er. Ling'er can help Senior Brother Ning and bear these troubles together."
When Ning Tao heard this, he didn't say anything and drank all the wine in the cup.
After Ning Tao drank the wine, his whole body felt slightly hot, and his true energy became more active. After a while, his whole body felt as comfortable as if he had eaten iced watermelon in the dog days of summer.
The female cultivator named Linger, who was in the early stage of foundation building, saw this and filled Ning Tao's glass again.
He said softly: "This Yuzhu Niang is the most popular spiritual wine of our Geng family. On weekdays, our ancestors are reluctant to drink it themselves. Today, I asked Ling'er to get it specifically to entertain Senior Brother Ning. Senior Brother Ning, you have more." Have a drink."
After saying that, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at Ning Tao with some expectation, as if he wanted to get Ning Tao's approval.
When Ning Tao heard this, he understood in his heart. No wonder he felt something different from the spiritual wine in the cup just now. It turned out that it was specially prepared for him.
Ning Tao, who seldom interacted with women, felt a little unnatural. He didn't know what to say to this Ling'er girl, but he couldn't remain silent when she was being treated so well.
He coughed lightly and said slowly: "Thank you very much, Miss Ling'er. I don't have anything to worry about. I'm just used to practicing hard and I'm not used to this kind of scene."
When Ling'er heard the words, she covered her mouth with her jade hands and smiled softly.
"Does a talent like Senior Brother Ning also require hard training? Ling'er is very curious about things within the sect. In the past, Ling'er always wanted to join the sect, but never had the chance. Now that he has finally met Senior Brother Ning, can you You have to talk to Ling'er carefully."
After saying that, he pulled Ning Tao's sleeves and shook them coquettishly.
Ning Tao, who had drank two glasses of spirit wine, perhaps because of the drunkenness, felt that this Ling'er girl was becoming more and more beautiful, and he couldn't help but open up his chat box.
Although they were just ordinary words, they made this Ling'er girl laugh like silver bells from time to time.
Under his words of praise and constant urging to drink, Ning Tao became more and more high-spirited.
In this way, after drinking more than ten glasses of wine in a row, Ning Tao found that the feeling of heat in his body became more and more serious. When he looked at this Ling'er girl, he actually had the urge to kiss Fangze.
After a while, Ning Tao finally felt something was wrong. He secretly used his true energy to control this impulsive feeling, but found little effect.
I thought to myself that the Geng family would not poison the spirit wine, but why did they have this strange feeling.
Ling'er, who continued to persuade him to drink, saw that Ning Tao's eyes were blurred, his body was getting closer, and he even touched Ning Tao's hand with his own catkins intentionally or unintentionally.
After another glass of wine, Ning Tao finally couldn't bear it anymore. His magic power was running wildly, his eyes were red, and he wanted to take the Ling'er in front of him immediately and eat him alive.
Fortunately, at this moment, a cool feeling came from the small jade pendant around his neck, which made Ning Tao restrain his impulse.
Ning Tao, who had regained some consciousness, looked at the Ling'er girl and said, "Miss Ling'er, I've drank too much. If I drink any more, I'll lose my composure. I'll say goodbye first and come back to apologize another day."
After saying that, he ignored the Ling'er girl's attempts to stay and left.
This Ling'er girl saw that Ning Tao insisted on leaving regardless of her efforts to stay, and was about to reach out to hold Ning Tao.
Ning Tao dodged in an instant and turned into a spiritual light and flew away.
Seeing Ning Tao leaving, this Ling'er girl pouted her red lips and stamped her feet angrily. I saw her pitiful look, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Geng Zong, a golden elixir monk from the Geng family, walked out of the attic and came to Geng Ling'er.
When Geng Ling'er saw Geng Zong coming, he stamped his feet angrily and said to Geng Zong: "Grandpa, look at you, you insist on letting me do this, it's embarrassing."
After saying that, he threw the wine bottle to Geng Zong, covered his blushing face and flew away.
When Geng Zong saw this, he sighed and looked at the direction Ning Tao left without knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Geng Ping, the then head of the Geng family, Geng Zong's son, and Geng Ling'er's father, came to Geng Zong.
Seeing his father's appearance, he asked with a questioning tone.
"Father, are you going too far with today's tactics? Although Ning Tao is a disciple of the sect, he is only called Ji Zhu. Is this necessary?"
Hearing this, Geng Zong replied with a bit of regret: "Hey, although Ning Tao is building a foundation, his master is only half a step away from Nascent Soul. As long as this son does not die on the way, With his talent, not to mention Nascent Soul, it should be possible to reach the late stage of Golden Core."
