In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since the duel between Chen Ning and Li Ke on Princess Keke's birthday. Chen Ning's name was now known to almost everyone in the Heaven's Wall City. During these five days, Chen Ning had been staying at Ouyang Xin's residence. Other than a few times a day to discuss cultivation matters with Ouyang Xin, he spent the rest of his time cultivating and never left the Ouyang Residence. This made Guan Jie, who hated Chen Ning to the bone, gnash his teeth in anger. However, Guan Jie did not dare to force his way to the Ouyang Manor to take her away. He could only throw a tantrum at home. During this period, he had beaten two or three maids to death because they were in a bad mood.
While Guan Jie and the other families were searching for information about Chen Ning, Chen Ning's cultivation speed in the Ouyang Residence had also increased rapidly. He wanted to use this time to quickly improve his strength and strive to become a Xuan Master as soon as possible. Once he became a Xuan Master, the Xuan Qi in his body would undergo a qualitative change. The Xuan Qi of an ordinary Xuan Master was milky white, but once he became a Xuan Master, it would evolve into a golden color. Moreover, his dantian would produce a natal Xuan Core that belonged to the Xuan Master realm and above. Similar to the demon nucleus of a demon beast, as one's cultivation increased and the Xuan Core grew stronger, one's strength would also undergo a huge change. It was completely different from Xuan cultivators who relied on Xuan Qi to strengthen their bodies. The Xuan Core was formed by absorbing the energy of Xuan Qi. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as the Xuan Core was not destroyed, there was a chance to recover. Therefore, there was a saying in the Xuantian Continent that only those who had stepped into the Xuan Master realm could be considered to have truly started on the path of cultivation.
In the morning, after five days of cultivation in the Ouyang Residence, Chen Ning's Celestial Chi had also increased significantly. He had completely stepped into the Eighth Level of the Mystical Realm. Seeing that the two First Level Demon Cores in his hands had completely turned into ashes, Chen Ning frowned slightly. His cultivation speed was fast, but the Demon Cores could not keep up with his cultivation progress at all. He had used up all the First Level Demon Cores, and now he only had six Second Level Demon Cores left. Looking at the six Second Level Demon Cores that were slightly larger than the First Level Demon Cores, Chen Ning frowned slightly. Chen Ning could not help but sigh. It seemed that he had to think of a way to get some Demon Cores, or else his cultivation speed would be affected. Although he still had the magnetite left by the black panther when it was alive, Chen Ning estimated that the magnetite would be used up in two days according to his current absorption speed.
Chen Ning looked at the sky outside the window. The sun was already high in the sky. Chen Ning went out of the door and walked straight to Ouyang Xin's room. There were guards patrolling everywhere along the way, but these people seemed to have received orders from Ouyang Xin and did not stop Chen Ning.
Just as he was about to knock on Ouyang Xin's door, the door suddenly opened. Ouyang Xin and an old man came out. Chen Ning had seen the old man before. He was Elder Chang, who had been standing beside Ouyang Xin that day.
"Brother Chen Ning, why are you here? Have you recovered?" Ouyang Xin opened the door and saw Chen Ning. Her face lit up as she asked in a friendly tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Ouyang. After a few days of recuperation, I'm all better now.”A faint smile appeared on Chen Ning's face. His injuries were almost healed on the second day after he returned to the Ouyang Manor.
Ouyang Xin nodded with a smile when he heard Chen Ning say that his injuries were completely healed. He then continued,""Brother Chen Ning, I'm looking for you. Let's talk in my room.”Without waiting for Chen Ning's reply, she dragged Chen Ning into the room.
When they arrived at the room, Ouyang Xin and Chen Ning sat on the chairs while Elder Chang stood beside Ouyang Xin. Ouyang Xin was about to speak when he suddenly looked at Chen Ning with surprise in his eyes."Brother Chen Ning, you've broken through to the eighth level of the Xuan Realm?”
"Yes, I broke through by luck." Chen Ning naturally knew that Ouyang Xin's strength was at the mystic cultivator realm, so it was not strange for him to see it. He smiled and nodded.
Although Ouyang Xin had already sensed that Chen Ning was already an eighth-level cultivator, he could not help but feel shocked when he heard Chen Ning's confirmation. How long had it been? He was already an eighth-level cultivator? Pausing for a moment, Ouyang Xin said to Chang Lao beside him,""Elder Chang, I'll have to trouble you to help me, Brother Chen Ning, test the strength of my Celestial Chi.”Ouyang Xin's tone towards Elder Chang was extremely respectful. It was completely unlike how one would treat a servant, but more like how one would treat an elder.
Just as Chen Ning was wondering what Ouyang Xin was talking about, Elder Chang took out a fist-sized stone from nowhere. The stone was glowing with a faint white light. He came before Chen Ning and said gently,""Young man, put your hand on it.”
Chen Ning was stunned. Although he did not understand what it was, he saw Ouyang Xin nod at him with a smile and put his hand on the stone. After Chen Ning put his hand on the stone, Chen Ning immediately felt a mysterious energy being emitted from the stone. It entered his body through his arm and traveled around his body before returning to the stone. At the same time, the stone suddenly emitted a strong purple light.
Seeing the intense purple light emanating from the stone, Ouyang Xin's face immediately revealed a look of surprise. Even Elder Chang was the same. He looked at Chen Ning in disbelief.
"Elder Chang, what is this light? Why is Brother Chen Ning's Xuan Qi purple, but aren't Xuan practitioners white?”Ouyang Xin asked in surprise.
Elder Chang also frowned and said in shock,"Young Master, this is also the first time I've seen this. Moreover, the intensity of this light is obviously not only at the eighth level of the Xuan Realm, but at least at the tenth level.”Hearing this, Ouyang Xin's face was instantly shocked. For a moment, he was actually somewhat speechless.
"Brother Ouyang, is there something wrong with my mystic qi?”Chen Ning was confused when he saw Ouyang Xin and Elder Chang looking like they had seen a ghost. However, he knew that this was probably the reason for his Azulet Sword Technique.
Hearing Chen Ning's words, Ouyang Xin shook her head and said,"" No, Brother Chen Ning, it's just that we've never seen the color of your Xuan Qi before. We've never even heard of it. Moreover, the intensity of your Xuan Qi is far beyond the eighth level of a Xuan Cultivator. It has even reached the tenth level of a Xuan Cultivator.”Hearing Ouyang Xin's words, Chen Ning was also surprised. The strength of a Tenth Level Mystical Cultivator? However, his cultivation was clearly at the eighth level of a cultivator. Could it be because of the Azulet Sword Art?
In contrast to Ouyang Xin's loss of composure, Elder Chang quickly calmed down. At this moment, the way he looked at Chen Ning had completely changed. His eyes were filled with joy as he said,"Young man, are you interested in joining our Ouyang Clan?”After saying that, he stared at Chen Ning as if he was eager to hear Chen Ning's answer.
When Chen Ning left Ouyang Xin's room, it was already close to noon. Chen Ning did not refuse or agree to Elder Chang's invitation to join the Ouyang family. He only said that he would consider it. After Chen Ning left, Ouyang Xin looked at Elder Chang and asked in a puzzled tone,"" Elder Chang, why is Brother Chen Ning's Celestial Chi different from ours? And why is the strength of his Celestial Chi clearly higher than his cultivation?”
Elder Chang's expression relaxed as he smiled at Ouyang Xin."Young Master, you must rope this young man into our Ouyang family. Although I don't know why his Xuan Qi is different from ours, I can feel that his purple Xuan Qi is very strong.”After saying that, Elder Chang paused for a moment and looked at Ouyang Xin's face. He then said word by word in a serious tone,"The cultivation technique he cultivates isn't simple. It might even be the cultivation technique of the four great immortal mountains." After saying that, a bright light flashed in Elder Chang's eyes."Although I don't know how this young man obtained it, if we can let him join our Ouyang Clan, perhaps our entire Ouyang Clan will receive great help.”
Ouyang Xin was extremely shocked when he heard Elder Chang's words. However, he still said in a serious tone,""Elder Chang, I understand what you mean. If Brother Chen Ning is really willing to join our Ouyang family, I will be very happy. But if he is not willing, I don't want to force him.”After saying that, he stared at Elder Chang. Elder Chang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
When Chen Ning returned to his room and was thinking about Elder Chang's words, Ouyang Xin arrived at Chen Ning's residence not long after. She smiled at Chen Ning happily and said,"" Brother Chen Ning, Elder Chang has already reported your matter to my father. He also said that he will immediately inform Jason Academy to help you enroll. There is no need to wait for you to cultivate to the mystic cultivator realm. I will also go with you.”
Chen Ning was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said with a wry smile,""Brother Ouyang, you guys are being too enthusiastic.”As far as Chen Ning knew, Jason Academy required at least a first level Mystical Master to enter, and he was only an eighth level Mystical Cultivator. Ouyang Xin had said that he would be able to enter soon, which meant that he had to use the back door. Chen Ning naturally knew about the olive branch that the Ouyang family had extended. He could not help but feel a little touched. Even though Chang Lao was showing goodwill because of his talent, Ouyang Xin had always been thinking for him.
Chen Ning's expression turned serious as he looked at Ouyang Xin and said seriously,""Brother Ouyang, I, Chen Ning, am willing to join the Ouyang Clan.”Chen Ning knew that he had to find a force to rely on if he wanted to improve his strength quickly. Since Ouyang Xin was so sincere to him, he did not refuse and said to Ouyang Xin.
Hearing Chen Ning's serious expression, Ouyang Xin was overjoyed. She patted Chen Ning's shoulder and laughed."Alright, Brother Chen Ning, we will be brothers from now on. I, Ouyang Xin, will definitely not treat you unfairly.”
Chen Ning smiled without saying a word. His eyes were filled with undisguised happiness. He could feel that Ouyang Xin truly treated him as a brother. Moreover, he had offended the butler of the Heaven's Wall City. It could be said that he was now completely trapped in the Heaven's Wall City. Chen Ning had no doubt that as soon as he left the Ouyang Manor, Guan Jie would immediately kill him. With his current strength, he probably would not even have the chance to retaliate. Therefore, joining the Ouyang family was his only way out. Chen Ning needed to borrow the power now. After joining the Ouyang family and going to Jason Academy, he would be able to fly freely in the sky and enter the sea like a dragon.
Unknowingly, Chen Ning had been staying in the Ouyang Residence for more than ten days. During this time, Chen Ning had not only consolidated his cultivation, but he had also gotten to know some of the elders of the Ouyang Family through Ouyang Xin, such as Ouyang Xin's father, the current patriarch of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Zhongjun, and some of the elders of the Ouyang Family.
After joining the Ouyang family, Chen Ning truly understood why the cultivation of the disciples of these powerful families was so much stronger than that of individual cultivators. There were countless resources and various cultivation resources from the elders for the disciples of the family to refer to. Under the care of Ouyang Xin, Chen Ning's status in the Ouyang family naturally rose like water.
One day, early in the morning, a large group of people gathered outside the main hall of the Ouyang Manor. Among them were Ouyang Xin's father and Elder Chang. Other than them, there were also some elders and guardians of the Ouyang Clan. Not far from the crowd, a huge flying demon beast that was more than three meters tall was quietly squatting on the ground.
Today was the day Jason Academy was recruiting students. Chen Ning and Ouyang Xin stood in front of the crowd. Ouyang Zhongjun, the patriarch of the Ouyang family and Ouyang Xin's father, came to Chen Ning's side and said,"" Chen Ning, you and Xin 'er will go to Jason Academy today. This Space Belt is a special gift from me. Although it's not a very expensive item and the space is not very big, it can still store some daily necessities and cultivation items. I hope that you will be able to learn well on this trip and help Ouyang Xin in the future.”After saying that, Ouyang Zhongjun took out an exquisitely crafted belt and handed it to Chen Ning. Through his son Ouyang Xin's understanding, Ouyang Zhongjun had high hopes for Chen Ning.
Chen Ning took the belt and said seriously,"Thank you, Clan Leader. I will not disappoint you."”
Hearing Chen Ning's words, Ouyang Zhongjun looked at Chen Ning with gratification. Then, he turned to Ouyang Xin and said," Xin 'er, the first reason for this trip is to enroll in Jason Academy for further studies. The second reason is that our Jason Kingdom has received an order from the Daming Empire. In three months, our Jason Kingdom will gather some outstanding disciples to enter the Empire for further studies. This is a good opportunity. You and Chen Ning must seize it.”
Ouyang Xin nodded and said,"I will not disappoint father."”
"Patriarch, Young Master, it's getting late. We should set off.”At this moment, Elder Chang, who was standing at the side, spoke.
Ouyang Xin looked at her father deeply, then said to Chen Ning, Brother Chen Ning, let's go." With that, the two of them followed Elder Chang to the front of the bird-type flying demonic beast. Ouyang Xin leaped onto the back of the flying demonic beast, while Chen Ning and Elder Chang did the same. They leaped neatly and sat together with Ouyang Xin.
Then, Elder Chang patted the back of the flying demonic beast. Immediately, as if it had received some kind of instruction, the flying demonic beast stretched out its pair of wings that were at least ten meters long and flapped slightly, flying into the sky.
