Chapter 549 - 247: Gold Spirit Seed—Doesn’t That Mean Gold Spirit Root? (Major Revision)
In addition, Chu Ning was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, while this person was merely a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so the conversation carried a bit more politeness.
As for that cultivator from the Daluo Sect, at the moment, he turned his head to the side with a cold expression.
"No need for such courtesy, Fellow Daoist!" Chu Ning smiled and cupped his hands at the Red Maple Valley cultivator.
Then he said to the green-clothed female cultivator:
"This Junior Sister, thank you for earlier."
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome!" The green-clothed girl waved her jade hands repeatedly.
Her round eyes then spun around, scanning the faces of Shang Xiaohan and Chu Ning.
She then giggled and said:
"So the Senior Sister Shang mentioned before that she came here to find a Senior Brother, and it’s Senior Brother Li, I..."
"Han Qiao’Er, don’t speak too much!"
Shang Xiaohan, fearing that the green-clothed woman’s words might expose Chu Ning’s identity, immediately scolded her.
The green-clothed woman known as Han Qiao’Er clearly misunderstood the meaning behind Shang Xiaohan’s words.
After Chu Ning and Shang Xiaohan left, Han Qiao’Er’s eyes spun around again.
At the same time, she was muttering in her heart.
"Senior Sister Shang looked so nervous earlier and even got angry out of shame. It seems like she really cares about this Senior Brother.
But this Senior Brother Li doesn’t seem that impressive."
Chu Ning and Shang Xiaohan both had many things they wanted to ask each other about, but they knew this wasn’t the time for conversation.
So they flew forward the whole way without speaking.
Soon, Shang Xiaohan took Chu Ning and flew to an unknown mountain peak.
At this moment, Shang Xiaohan finally spoke:
"Senior Brother, the coalition’s sects each have a station here, and the elders and fellow disciples from our sect are stationed on this peak."
Chu Ning nodded and looked down, discovering that this peak had been temporarily transformed, with an array restriction set up.
On this peak, various cave mansions of different sizes had been opened up.
However, the peak wasn’t large, so naturally, the cave mansions couldn’t be as big as those on Jiuhua Mountain.
Moreover, they were quite close to each other.
Shang Xiaohan threw a Sound Transmission Talisman inside, and the array restriction on the peak opened, allowing her to lead Chu Ning into one of the cave mansions.
As soon as they entered the cave mansion, Fu Lihong’s figure appeared.
"Chu Ning!"
Fu Lihong, having seen Chu Ning’s face before, immediately exclaimed in surprise.
After she spoke, two more figures appeared outside the cave mansion.
They were Jiuhua Sect’s Supreme Elder Tang Xuan and Grand Elder Gong Yuyuan.
Seeing Chu Ning return safely, everyone looked relieved.
Knowing that this peak had restrictions, Chu Ning knew his words couldn’t be overheard casually, so he restored his original appearance.
He then cupped his hands and greeted:
"Disciple Chu Ning greets the Supreme Elder and all the Elders."
Before Tang Xuan and the others could speak, Shang Xiaohan, who had been holding back her words, couldn’t help but speak up:
"Senior Brother Chu, where have you been these past few days? After encountering that Profound Yin Sect cultivator and you told me to escape first.
But when I returned to the sect to report and came back, there was no news of you for several days."
At this time, Fu Lihong chimed in from the side:
"We heard you encountered a formidable opponent, and the Supreme Elder immediately came to Hong Lake Entrance, even fearing you had been caught by the Daluo Sect cultivators.
He even negotiated with the Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Daluo Sect. Fortunately, you are unharmed."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning flashed a grateful look at Tang Xuan and said:
"That day after Junior Sister Shang and I encountered a Golden Core Guardian from the Profound Yin Sect named You Jing.
After Junior Sister Shang left, while we were entangled in battle, Ao Langtian suddenly arrived.
Worried he might harm me, I quickly escaped and didn’t dare return along the sect’s route, so I hid in Hong Lake City for a few days."
Upon hearing this, a trace of coldness flickered in Tang Xuan’s otherwise calm eyes.
"So there was indeed a connection with the Daluo Sect, but fortunately you’re unharmed. Otherwise, even Ao Langtian would face consequences.
It’s absurd how Ao Langtian tried to blame our Jiuhua Sect, claiming that the person from the Profound Yin Sect was injured by us Jiuhua Sect members."
"Well, he’s not entirely wrong," Chu Ning said with a smile.
"It was indeed I who injured You Jing at the time, but Ao Langtian didn’t actually see me.
Perhaps he couldn’t find me, so he chased after You Jing, and I heard later he even clashed with a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator from the Profound Yin Sect."
"You were the one who injured You Jing?"
Upon hearing this, even Tang Xuan and the others couldn’t help but glance at each other.
Gong Yuyuan’s gaze fixed on Chu Ning, his tone somewhat peculiar as he said:
"This You Jing isn’t an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator, he’s at the peak of the Early Stage of Golden Core, close to Middle Stage.
I’ve heard about him before, their Golden Core Guardian from the Profound Yin Sect has quite impressive Divine Techniques.
Nephew Chu, that you could escape unscathed, even severing one of his arms, remarkable! Truly remarkable!"
"Let’s keep this matter to ourselves," Tang Xuan promptly interjected.
"Hong Lake Entrance is in chaos right now, and spreading news about Chu Ning won’t be beneficial to him."
Everyone naturally understood and nodded in agreement.
Having explained his side, Chu Ning now curiously asked everyone:
"These past days in Hong Lake City, I’ve heard fellow cultivators say the chaos at Hong Lake Entrance was due to the birth of a Spirit Seed, but I’m not sure about the specifics?"
