"Brother Ning, your uncle is currently at the peak of level 8 cultivation. Judging from his words and deeds, Liu is full of energy and is very likely to go further." Liu Mang took the opportunity to ask.
"Hey, to be honest, my uncle reached the peak level of 8th level 20 years ago, but it will be difficult for him to go further in this life." Ning Ruxian sighed.
"What, Senior Ning failed to break through to level 9?" Liu Mang said with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes, my uncle has prepared carefully over the years and has tried several breakthroughs but failed. If he can succeed, our Tianduan Mountain will not only become one of the top ten sects, but at least our status will be improved a lot." Ning Ruxian was a little confused. It's a pity.
"Senior Ning looks like a middle-aged man. It's a pity that he will stop here all his life." Liu Mang sighed. As the head of a family with abundant resources, Ning Jinyong must have done a lot of preparation work when he broke through in retreat. Even if he failed to break through, this path of cultivation is really not that easy.
When a monk breaks through his cultivation level, the first time has the greatest chance. Once he fails, his chances of success in the future will be greatly reduced. It is very cruel. According to Ning Ruxian, Ning Jinyong has failed several times. That breakthrough The hope for 9th Dan is already very slim.
Then Liu Mang and the other three were taken to a remote attic.
"Brother Liu, this place is one of the places with the strongest aura of heaven and earth in Tianduan Mountain. Since you three brothers want to retreat, you might as well stay here. It is quiet here and is one of the forbidden areas of our Ning family. It will never happen. Someone disturbed me," Ning Ruxian said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ning." Liu Mang hugged him.
"If you need anything, just tell me. Brother Liu, you're welcome." Ning Ruxian said.
"Okay." Liu Mang nodded.
"So, I'll take my leave, little brother." Ning Ruxian hugged his fists and left.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the surrounding environment of the attic. The decoration inside is also very good, antique and spotlessly clean.
The attic was quite spacious, with several nice rooms. The three of them walked around and chose their respective rooms.

"Senior Brother Liu, that Senior Ning is so polite, why don't you collect those swords? You have a top-grade spiritual weapon in your hands, but the Palace Master and I are extremely miserable." In Liu Mang's room, Xi'er said in confusion. . "That's right, you are just a person who is seeking fame and reputation!") Ling Qianhua glared.
"I don't want to take it. Even if I sell it for spiritual stones, it can be sold for millions. But the purpose of our coming to Tianduan Mountain this time is to use a place to retreat and practice. Having such a good place is the biggest gain." Liu Mang explained.
"But how does this conflict with receiving his sword? It can be seen that he really wants to give it away." Xi'er said a little confused.
"There is no conflict, but collecting his sword becomes a transaction. The Ning family is not rich enough to have a medium-grade spiritual weapon. This will make many people in the Ning family, including some core members, have objections. Yes, this will pose certain hidden dangers to our future cultivation." Liu Mang said.
"That's true. During the banquet, I also saw many core members of the Ning family showing displeasure on their faces." Ling Qianhua nodded.
"Yes, the head of the Ning family is so polite, and we don't need to cause unnecessary trouble for a few spiritual weapons, which will embarrass him." Liu Mang nodded.
"To put it lightly, those are three middle-grade spiritual weapons." Xi'er said with some regret.
"A medium-grade spiritual weapon is nothing, just wait." Liu Mang smiled evilly, took out the captured storage ring of Mr. Kong Ling, and poured out all the contents.
Nearly 2 million spiritual stones, a pile of miscellaneous things that looked good, and two swords with spiritual light were piled up in a corner of the room.
It almost blinded the three people's eyes. The most eye-catching ones were of course the two swords.
"This is the main sword of that bastard Master Kong Ling. It's a top-grade spiritual weapon. Judging from the quality, it's probably even better than my machete. The old rule is, wife comes first before junior sister." Liu Mang threw the sword to Ling Qianhua with a smile. .
"This is a middle-grade spiritual sword. Don't dislike it. Xi'er, you can use it first. We will change it another day. Liu Mang threw the sword to Xi'er casually.
"I'll go, Brother Liu, I'll change it if you want. Your family sells swords." Xi'er happily took the sword, not forgetting to mock Liu Mang. She wouldn't argue with Ling Qianhua about it. She still has some self-consciousness about using a high-grade spiritual weapon and a sword.
"Haha, don't worry, the future is bright, and there will definitely be bread." Liu Mang laughed. "Thinking about everything we have gone through when we came to Kunlun, it can be said that it is a rough road. It has only been a few years, and we are really getting better and better. Liu Mang, I am now full of confidence in our future path. " Ling Qianhua sighed in a very rare soft tone.
"The Palace Master is right. If you follow Senior Brother Liu from now on, you will have meat to eat, hehe." Xi'er also joked with a smile.
"Hehe, come on, let's continue to share the meat, 2 million, so many spirit stones, this boy Kong Ling is really a rich second generation." Liu Mang said with a smile and divided the large pile of spirit stones into three parts.
Liu Mang had always done this all the way, and Ling Qianhua and Xi'er were not reserved and kept their share in their own storage rings.
There were also some other miscellaneous things, such as yang-type spirit flowers and herbs, monster bones, letters, etc. Liu Mang, except for collecting the spirit flowers and herbs that he could use, gave the rest to the two girls. .
"Those letters are actually quite useful. If you have nothing to do, you should read them more and gain more knowledge." Liu Mang still had some unfinished ideas. He actually really wanted to seize a book of advanced techniques from Mr. Kongling. This boy's sword skills are indeed good. , unfortunately not.
As his level increased, Liu Mang became more and more aware of the shortcomings of his low-level skills. His current focus was not on competing with those mid-8th-level monks. He had already set his sights on those in the late 8th-level. , and even the top monks of the 9th level.
With his current strength, it is still a bit difficult to compete with the powerful late-level 8th-level monks. Those monks all have high-grade spiritual weapons, and their own weapons do not have an advantage. Although the skills are enhanced by the top-level main mind skills, the advantage is not Make up for the huge gap in cultivation.
Even that bastard Kong Ling Young Master, if the two of them were to have a life-and-death contest when he was in his prime, he really had no confidence that he could defeat him. As for summoning the flaming red phoenix, that was his trump card. He only had about one hit. With him now With a certain level of cultivation, it would be difficult for the fire ball to instantly kill the powerful late stage 8 monks, and it cannot be considered as a standing attack method.
There is no technique that he can use, which indeed limits his strength greatly.
