The Path to Becoming Immortal

"This little brother must be the one who helped Gu Yun successfully pass this trial."

Gu Xiangwen nodded and looked at Ning Ping, a sense of majesty exuding from his body involuntarily.

"It's this guy. His name is Ning Ping." Shi Hetong introduced him from the side.

"Senior, even if there is no boy, Brother Gu Yun will definitely be able to pass smoothly." Ning Ping saw that he had to bite the bullet and deal with it.

"Haha, I have heard some things. Cultivation is not only about hard work, but also requires the use of brains. Not bad!"

Gu Xiangwen smiled and nodded.

After a few words, Ning Ping also had a good impression of Gu Xiangwen, but it was also very difficult to bear the attention of the three Nascent Soul monks.

"Okay, let's talk. I'll take him in and sit down for a while."

Seeing Ning Ping's embarrassed look, and knowing that Shi Hetong and his father had something to say, Gu Yun simply took the opportunity to leave.

Seeing this, Ning Ping felt relieved, cast a grateful look at Gu Yun, and then apologized. Then he and Gu Yun walked out from the side of the temple.

"This kid..." This move immediately attracted a lot of criticism from several people.

Seeing the two people leaving, Gu Xiangwen raised his hand and waved, and a restriction suddenly enveloped the entire hall.

Shi Hetong on the side also became serious.

"Hetong, apart from Fan Fenghua, who else do you think wants to jump out this time?..."

Then the three of them started a secret conversation.

…………

Ning Ping followed Gu Yun through a fairyland-like courtyard, and finally came to an attic next to the cliff.

The two of them entered it, came to a balcony protruding from the cliff, and sat down.

Outside are those mountain peaks that seem to be suspended above the clouds, making people forget that they are still in the world.

"Why do you, the son of a dignified law enforcement elder, still need to participate in that trial? And is the power transfer hall really so magical?"

This question is also a doubt in Ning Ping's mind.

"If you want to go in, there is no other way. As for the magic of the Chuan Gong Hall, do you know? All successive Taixuan Sect masters have had great opportunities in the Chuan Gong Hall..."

Gu Yun's eyes flickered, and he revealed the truth with a mysterious look on his face.

"Ah~" Thinking about the terrifying cultivation of the Wen Sect Master at the Divine Transformation Stage, his heart immediately raised the status of the Gong Transfer Hall to an infinitely high level.

The two of them started chatting casually.

"My biological mother left me very early..."

After some small talk, Ning Ping also learned more about Gu Yun.

It turns out that Gu Yun is not only his father who has a frighteningly high status, but the wife he now calls aunt has an extraordinary background.

The head of Taixuan Sect is Wen Haokong, and her name is Wen Lingfeng. From her last name, Wen, we can get some clues.

That's right, Wen Haokong, the leader of Taixuan Sect, is her ancestor.

Taixuanzong is the real controller of the South Gate Domain, and there are countless interests involved in it.

The sect leader heard that Haokong wanted to retire, and the next sect leader was coveted by the elders of the sect.

Gu Yun's father is a popular candidate for the position of sect leader.

Taixuan Sect does not accept disciples easily. All disciples are selected by the ten sects through trials.

It can be seen from this that the so-called ten sects are actually the one branch of Taixuan Sect, which oversees the secular affairs below.

If you want to enter the power transfer hall, you can only pass the trial, which is also the only chance.

His father met Gu Yun's biological mother by chance, and then Gu Yun was born.

Whether this was accidental or whether Shi Hetong contributed to it is unknown.

Gu Yun's mother died young, and he was brought up by Shi Hetong. When he grew up, he was officially accepted by Gu Xiangwen and his wife.

Of course, according to Gu Yun's opinion, the main thing was Wen Lingfeng's acceptance.

For this reason, Ning Ping inevitably thought of something strange in his heart. It seems that Gu Xiangwen is very henpecked...

Of course, Gu Xiangwen was not the only one who wanted the position of head of Taixuan Sect, so Shi and Tongcai tried their best to keep Gu Yun safe.

Of course, Shi Hetong did not want to see anything happen to Gu Yun for both public and private reasons, so Ning Ping got involved by chance and coincidence.

Anyway, Ning Ping just listened and was not interested in these intrigues at all.

For Nascent Soul monks like Shi Hetong and others who enter the Chuan Gong Hall, it is not a very precious thing, but more of just using it in exchange for certain benefits.

But I was extremely grateful to be able to get such a precious opportunity to enter the Chuan Gong Hall.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so unlucky." Gu Yun laughed at this moment.

During the chat, Ning Ping also felt bitter about his journey into the world of cultivation.

Just now I just talked about meeting Fan Gaocai, which led to the current acquaintance between the two.

"Hey, who could have predicted it, but isn't this also a chance." Ning Ping also began to enjoy the hardships.

"You're right. Things are unpredictable. Without this kind of thing, we wouldn't have the acquaintance we have now."

As they talked, the friendship between the two became deeper.

He mentioned the mountain village where he grew up, Nanhua Gate, Yun Family, etc.

The first time he had a frank communication with someone, Ning Ping's heart seemed to open up and he felt unusually relaxed.

Of course, some things involving one's own secrets are still kept in the bottom of my heart.

"I didn't expect you to be so fierce and even enter the Forgotten Swamp." Gu Yun suddenly thought of something and said in surprise.

"Hey, I was careless. Fortunately, it was only on the periphery. I escaped by luck." Ning Ping said casually.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it in detail, but there are too many things involved in the Forgotten Swamp, and I don't want outsiders to bother me.

"By the way, I found some abnormalities during the trial..."

In order to change the subject, Ning Ping also took the opportunity to talk about some abnormalities of the Soul Locking Sect disciples that he noticed during the trial.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Yun's face changed slightly, and he no longer asked about the Forgotten Swamp, but sent a message out with the sound transmission bracelet.

Then Gu Yun talked about some things in the Transmission Hall, of course, mainly what he heard from his father.

Then the two of them talked until late at night.

Looking at the Taixuan Sect in the night, I felt a sense of emotion in my heart. Not only this place, but also the past few days have been like a dreamland.

Ning Ping rarely did not practice, so he sat silently until dawn.

The next day, at dawn, everyone came to the front of the Taixuan Hall.

It was a rare event, and the masters of the five major spiritual peaks and the elders of each hall were all present.

Including those sect leaders whose disciples were annihilated in the trial, those sect leaders were talking eagerly with those peak masters.

Gu Yun introduced them one by one in a low voice.

In addition to the middle-level Earth Spirit Peak, the other four peak masters are: the known Golden Spirit Peak Master Ma Yihua, the Wood Spirit Peak Master Xu Qiyun, the Water Spirit Peak Master Sheng Yuxing, and the Fire Spirit Peak Master Yun Lingduan.

When Ning Ping heard the name Yun Lingduan, his heart moved, and he thought of Yun Lingqiu, the ancestor of the Yun family in Guangming City.

If it seems correct, this person is undoubtedly a member of the Yun family. It seems that the relationship between these families and the sects is much closer than imagined.

Ning Ping stared at these powerful cultivators in a daze. It was like poking the nest of Yuanying cultivators. There were more than low-level disciples.

And especially the five peak masters, their cultivation was extraordinary, all of them were above the middle level of Yuanying.

At this time, several people came from the other side of the square. Ning Ping looked up and after seeing one of the people clearly, he was stunned.
