The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Brother Ling, as soon as I came out of seclusion, I heard that you had publicly accepted a disciple before. How are you now? You have to let us see what kind of talent you are."

After Tai Xuanzong and others walked away, Elder Yun, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, suddenly said to Ling Hongjiu beside him.

"Hmph~ Thanks to your Yun family, I'm afraid my apprentice won't be lucky enough to see you."

Ling Hong was furious when he mentioned this matter.

"Oh? Why is this? It seems that what Brother Ling means is related to my Yun family. I will ask later."

"You're not still angry with me because of what happened last time. But it's good that Brother Ling is looking for someone else during the grand event. Don't be angry."

When Ning Ping heard this, it seemed that Elder Yun was from the Yun family.

"Your disciple chose you. Of course it was his freedom. It can only be said that he has no destiny with me. How can he be angry about it?" Ling Hongjiu smiled faintly, but didn't take it seriously.

"That's good. By the way, I don't know when Brother Ling will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Then he will be able to increase his lifespan by another thousand years. Then we will have to learn the art of alchemy again."

Ning Ping heard this and felt something in his heart. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them was not very harmonious.

"I don't know whether I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but I can accompany you at any time when refining alchemy. Farewell!"

After Ling Hongjiu finished speaking, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.

"You~"

Seeing that Ling Hongjiu was slightly displeased, Elder Yun looked helpless on his face, but the secret joy in his eyes was unmistakable.

Of course, these words fell on Ning Ping’s ears.

Listening to the other party's words, the malicious interference in them, and looking at Ling Hongjiu's slightly lonely expression, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

After the two of them walked away, Ning Ping walked straight to the table where the alchemist examination registration table was.

"I'm signing up for the alchemist exam."

When the guard heard this, he immediately became energetic. Now that the end is approaching, there are fewer and fewer people signing up. It took a long time to meet one person.

"Excuse me, senior's name." Looking at the other party's sinister expression, and not being able to detect the other party's cultivation level at all, the guard's mouth became more respectful.

"Leng An" Ning Ping didn't even think about it, just randomly picked up a name and reported it.

"Senior, please keep this token. The assessment will be held here tomorrow morning. You need to prepare the elixir required for the refined elixir yourself..."

After registering, while talking about the things to pay attention to, he handed over a jade plaque with a medicinal cauldron on it.

Ning Ping reached out to take the jade plaque and took a closer look. On one side was the pattern of a medicinal cauldron, and on the other side was the number nine thousand five hundred and eighty-seven.

Seeing this number, Ning Ping was stunned. Compared with the scale of the assessment in Guangming City, it was dwarfed by the scale.

If you want to prepare the elixir, you have to take care of it first.

According to the original plan, Ning Ping took out a transmission note, moved his lips slightly, and activated it.

After a while, a transmission note flew back, and an extremely surprised voice came from inside.

He asked the guard on the side for directions, and walked forward in the guard's surprised eyes.

He could have taken the teleportation array, but at this moment Ning Ping was penniless.

Even with his current foot strength, it took him several hours to arrive in front of a huge manor built on the mountainside after dark.

I saw that the entire mountain range was hidden in the night sky, and the high walls were continuous, like a city within a city.

The entire mountain range is enclosed, and a powerful formation aura comes from it.

There is a plaque with the word 'Gu Mansion' written on it above the door. There are guards guarding the door, and the cultivation level emanating from it has actually reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And one of the people dressed in gorgeous clothes was the square-faced monk Lu Ting of the Golden Core Stage whom he knew well.

"May I ask if your surname is Leng?" Seeing Ning Ping looking around after arriving, Lu Ting stepped forward and asked.

"Exactly!" Ning Ping nodded slightly.

"please!"

The other party must have received the instructions, so he directly welcomed Ning Ping in without asking any questions.

As soon as you enter it, you will feel the luxury and extravagance rushing towards you. The servants and guards are not passing through it, just like a palace in the mortal world.

There were waterside pavilions and pavilions everywhere. The two of them meandered until they reached a luxurious palace halfway up the mountain before stopping in front of it.

"Please, Young Master, wait inside." Opening the door, a magnificent hall appeared in front of you.

After Ning Ping walked in, he closed the giant door again.

As soon as the palace door was closed, a wave of formation waves suddenly emitted.

"Haha, Ning Ping, I knew you would be fine. Come on, let's eat something first."

I saw a mountain of meat sitting in the innermost part, sitting on an extremely large dragon chair. He tried to get up with difficulty, but in the end he just waved to Ning Ping.

The extremely large table in front of him was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

"Brother Gu, long time no see." Ning Ping smiled slightly and then sat down politely.

Then the body moved, revealing a head of white hair and an extremely thin body.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, although he had not probed Ning Ping's disguise before out of politeness.

But at this moment, the other party should have his true appearance, with a slightly serious face, and his eyes flickered, and the aura of twilight in the other party fell into his eyes.

"How did you become like this?" Gu Qing said hesitantly after looking at it for a while.

"Hey~ I entered a forbidden area and was cursed." Ning Ping said truthfully.

If you want to use the other party, some things will be known by the other party sooner or later, so it is better to speak frankly.

"Taixuan Sect Transmission Hall?" Gu Qing asked with his eyes fixed.

"Hey, how do you know!" Ning Ping was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party already knew about his Taixuan Sect.

"Some things that happened to you in Nanmen City, I already knew through Dan League. Later, I sent someone to go, but you had already gone to the so-called Hero Trial, but how could a mere Hero Trial be difficult for you."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Ning Ping suddenly realized that such things could not be hidden from a wealthy family like the other party.

"By the way, you said before that you wanted to cooperate with me. I wonder if you are still interested now."

After a moment of silence, Ning Ping said lightly, although the other party had revealed such a meaning before.

But the two of them had no friendship at the moment, and it would be better to speak out some things.

Of course, the current situation is different. The other party also feels credible, otherwise Ning Ping would certainly not face him directly with his true face.

"Yes, I'm interested in earning spiritual stones. Are you going to sell the recipes of the Rejuvenation Pill, the Heaven-Repairing Pill, and the Wrathful Spirit Pill to me directly, or what?"

"If it's not convenient, I'll find a way to get the spiritual medicine. 30% to 70%, 70% for me."

Ning Ping thought for a moment. Those recipes are his current reliance. It's obviously not appropriate to sell them now.

"I can't give you the recipes yet. You can collect the spiritual medicine and I'll refine it. We'll split 50% to 50%. I'll give you the recipes when it's appropriate."

Gu Qing was silent for a while after hearing this, then smiled and said, "Okay! Cooperation should be long-term and everyone should be happy. Don't you agree?"
