Ning Yuzhou said truthfully: "Second Uncle, I don't know the whereabouts of Third Brother, nor have I heard about him."
"How come?" Ning Dingchen was a little anxious, "Zhezhou left with those people that day, and he must have gone to the Central Continent. You have been practicing in the Central Continent these years, and you must have heard of it..."
"I'm sorry." Ning Yuzhou still said the same thing, "The third brother's power is extremely mysterious, and the outside world rarely knows it, and it's not something ordinary people can know. I can't find out."
In fact, Ning Yuzhou didn't mean to inquire, no matter why the Shengwu Temple existed, it had nothing to do with him.
Ning Dingchen still wanted to ask, but Ning Yuzhou had already left with Wen Qiao.
Seeing that he still wanted to chase after him, the Ning clan couldn't tolerate him continuing to pester him, so they quickly pulled him back.
Great Elder Ning Huayuan said coldly: "Yu Zhou has his own sense of propriety. If he says he doesn't know, he really doesn't know. Don't make things difficult for him by relying on your status as an elder."
"But… "
Ning Huayuan didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hand and asked someone to take him down.
Emperor Cheng Hao sat there with a calm expression on his face. If the Great Elder hadn't stopped him, he would have shot. Compared with Ning Zhezhou, who was taken away by the Holy Martial Palace and disappeared, his son was naturally more important. He didn't want to embarrass his son to inquire about the Shengwu Palace.
The fact that Ning Dingchen was sent back by the Great Elder also caught the attention of many members of the Ning clan. Others didn't think much about it, but the Ning Pingzhou brothers and sisters knew why.
After the elders left, the brother and sister went to the second room in person.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, are you all right?" Ning Yaozhu asked cautiously.
Ning Dingchen's face was ugly, and his wife's expression was gloomy, worrying about her son whom she had not seen for many years.
Obviously they all left Dongling in the same way, but Ning Yuzhou would send some messages back from time to time to reassure Emperor Cheng Hao, but how could they not worry when their son disappeared without news
"Is there still no news about Third Brother?" Ning Pingzhou asked softly.
Ning Dingchen sighed, "I asked Yuzhou earlier, and he said he didn't know."
"How is it possible, maybe he knows, but he just doesn't want the third brother to come back and steal his..." Ning Yaozhu blurted out.
"Shut up!" Ning Pingzhou yelled.
Ning Yaozhu's face turned slightly pale, and she didn't dare to speak any more.
Although she resents Ning Yuzhou in her heart, she has hated Ning Yuzhou since she was a teenager, but she also clearly knows that Ning Yuzhou is not something she can easily offend now. He is arrogant as a high-level practitioner.
Could it be that they could only live in his shadow for the rest of their lives
Now that Ning Yuzhou is back, he doesn't know if he will remember what happened back then and torture them by the way. And with Ning Yuzhou's current status in Ning's, there are many people who are willing to do it for him without him doing anything.
Not only Ning Yaozhu understands this truth, but everyone present understands it, so even if they have any thoughts in their hearts, they dare not say them out.
Ning Dingchen said: "Go back, Zhezhou is too far away, as long as he doesn't come back for a day, the Ning family will be Yuzhou's."
Ning Pingzhou was silent.
Ning Yaozhu wanted to say something, but was pulled away by her brother.
—
Ning quickly became busy.
As the patriarch, Emperor Cheng Hao was busy at first, but Ning Yuzhou called him over with a messenger talisman, and then appointed an elder to temporarily take over the affairs of the patriarch, so that Emperor Cheng Hao could spare time.
Emperor Cheng Hao came to the Seventh Prince's mansion, and when he saw his son, he asked, "What did Xiao Qi ask me to do?"
Ning Yuzhou didn't answer, but asked his servants to retreat, and then opened the defensive formation in the yard.
This defensive formation was set up after he came back, and it can be called the most powerful formation in Dongling, not even the Ning clan has such a powerful formation. Emperor Cheng Hao saw the splendor in his eyes, but he was even more confused. He didn't know why his son was setting up formations in his mansion. Could it be that it was specially shown to him
Facts have proved that Emperor Cheng Hao thought too much.
"Father, from today onwards, you will enter my space to practice." Ning Yuzhou said, "We will stay in Dongling for about two months, and we will leave after dealing with Dongling's affairs. In these two months, you Cultivate in the space, and Aji and I will find time to guide you."
Emperor Cheng Hao: "..."
Before Emperor Cheng Hao could react, Ning Yuzhou had already pulled him, and the three of them entered the space.
A strong aura rushed towards his face, it was a hundred times, a thousand times richer than Dongling's aura. Emperor Cheng Hao felt that the pores all over his body were stretched, and he was so comfortable that he couldn't help but want to meditate directly to absorb it.
The concentration of aura in this space is even lower than that of Lintai Hunting Valley, and comparable to those high-level secret realms.
Emperor Cheng Hao looked at the space in amazement, his eyes were almost too busy.
A big round fur ball rolled over, and there was also a puppet statue in the shape of a unicorn.
"Chiji~"
"Sister, Brother Ning, you finally came in."
The big hairball and the little unicorn rushed over enthusiastically, and were about to bump into Wenqiao, but found that there was a stranger besides them, and couldn't help but stare at him.
This was the first time that Ning Yuzhou brought someone other than Wen Qiao in, which inevitably made the creatures in the space curious.
Emperor Cheng Hao was very surprised, "This is a puppet? It, it can talk..."
No matter how advanced a puppet is, it is just a puppet, unable to speak at all, and has no self-awareness.
Wen Qiao glanced at the father-in-law who seemed to be frightened, thinking whether to make a pot of spirit tea for him, and explained: "This is Qi Shengting, it is a unicorn, and the soul is temporarily rented in the body of the puppet, so it can Talk." Then Wen Qiao introduced them again, "This is brother Ning's father, you will call him uncle from now on."
The little unicorn called Uncle Ning to Emperor Chenghao obediently.
Emperor Cheng Hao: "..."
Emperor Cheng Hao struggled not to pass out with his eyes open. This method of being shocked and fainted because of too little knowledge is too embarrassing, so he resolutely refuses to do it.
Perhaps it was after being frightened by the unicorn, so when he saw those high-level spiritual herbs in the space, including the five holy lotus, Emperor Cheng Hao finally calmed down.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Father, you don't have to get too excited, except the space is mine, everything in the space belongs to you."
Emperor Cheng Hao: "????"
"These spiritual grasses and medicines are all planted by my grandmother. The monsters and divine beasts in the space are also brought back by my grandmother. I just provide her with a space."
Emperor Cheng Hao's eyes fell on his daughter-in-law who was playing with the big fur ball and the little unicorn, and the slender figure of his daughter-in-law instantly seemed incomparably tall to him.
However, when he saw Wen Qiao sitting by the pond, and the Jingling water lotus with small shoots sprouting in the pond began to grow, Emperor Cheng Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Auntie has awakened the blood of the emperor." Ning Yuzhou's voice was very soft, "Assimilating with Ling Zhi and rejuvenating is the talent of the blood of the emperor."
Emperor Cheng Hao's eyes straightened, "Xiaoqi, please give me some time to sort out my thoughts first."
Ning Yuzhou was very generous, "I'll give you a day, you can take a good rest in the space today, and start practicing tomorrow."
—
It took Emperor Cheng Hao a day to finally digest the matter of his son and daughter-in-law.
Then, his emotions became extremely excited, and the gaze he looked at Wen Qiao seemed to be a priceless treasure. It was a treasure that was eager, and no matter how calm Wen Qiao was, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Father, don't scare me." Ning Yuzhou said.
Emperor Cheng Hao was a little embarrassed, but it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
He pulled his son aside, and asked quietly: "Xiaoqi, besides us, who else knows about Auntie's awakened God Emperor's bloodline? The Wen family probably doesn't know about it?"
Emperor Cheng Hao had never heard of anyone in the Wen family who had awakened the divine blood, and because of this, he never thought that his daughter-in-law could be as lucky as his son to awaken the divine blood.
It is said that in ancient times, the probability of people cultivating to awaken the supernatural blood was higher than now, and the supernatural blood was not a secret at that time.
But with the evolution of time, it was difficult for Renxiu to awaken the mystical bloodline, which gradually became a history and legend, and even very few people finally knew about the mystical bloodline.
The Ning clan could know that it was because the Ning clan had collected some information about the mysterious bloodline.
The disciples of the Ning family did not know where this information came from, it was obviously passed down by the ancestors of the Ning family. It was also because of these materials that when Ning Yuzhou's body became abnormal, Emperor Cheng Hao knew that his son was from the awakened supernatural blood, not a waste of cultivation.
The mystical bloodline was an extremely rare bloodline in ancient times, let alone in today's cultivation world.
"They don't know." Ning Yuzhou said, "So, father wants to keep it a secret for us."
"That's natural." Emperor Cheng Hao looked cautious, "It won't be necessary in the future, don't tell others easily."
Ning Yuzhou smiled, "If you weren't the father, I wouldn't have told you."
Emperor Cheng Hao felt his whole heart melted when he heard it, and he was extremely pleased.
However, when he saw the cultivation plan his son made for him, he felt no relief or comfort.
Ning Yuzhou said: "I will let Wen Qiuqiu and Xiao Qilin stare at you. You are not allowed to be lazy. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I will refine the weapon in the rattan house."
Emperor Cheng Hao looked at the training plan on the parchment, his hands trembled a little, and he said in a jiffy, "Xiaoqi, your father and I are only in the Yuanmai realm now, these..."
"Father, I believe in you!"
"..."
Wen Qiao, who had been watching for a long time, coughed lightly, and said, "Husband, I want to go out and have a look."
Ning Yuzhou looked elegant and gentle, and said, "Are you going to find Wen Tutu and the others?"
Wen Qiao hummed, "Only Wen Tutu and Wen Gungun, I don't feel at ease." Those two are children at heart, although they are strong in force, she is worried that they will be deceived.
Ning Yuzhou didn't stop her, gave her a storage bag, and said, "If it's dangerous, use Explosive Beads. I've refined a lot of Explosive Beads recently."
Wen Qiao smiled at him, charming and cute.
Seeing such a well-behaved, cute and beautiful girl, Ning Yuzhou felt a little worried, so he fetched another storage bag and handed it to her.
When she saw the five puppet statues in the storage bag, Wen Qiao showed surprise on her face.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Although the fighting power of this stone puppet statue is not high, it has the defensive power of a cultivator in Yuanhuang Realm. You should take it with you, just in case."
When he returned to Shengwu Continent, Ning Yuzhou took the time to study the puppet art in Chiri Villa. They brought back many puppet stone statues from Chiri Villa, which was a lot of wealth. Ning Yuzhou decided to reset the puppets' hearts of these puppet stone statues. This batch of puppets has many uses.
The little Qilin ran over on short legs, and said to Wen Qiao: "Sister, I have puppets with the combat power of the Yuanzong Realm and the defensive power of the Yuan Emperor Realm here, do you want it?"
Ning Yuzhou, Wen Qiao, and Emperor Cheng Hao looked at the little unicorn at the same time.
"So Xiao Ting still has such a high-level puppet." Ning Yuzhou said slowly.
For some reason, the little unicorn instinctively wanted to explode, but it was a pity that it was wearing the body of a puppet. This kind of physiological instinct was absent, so it didn't notice anything at all, and said cheerfully: "Yes, in Chiri Villa I have put away all the high-level puppets in advance, and I despise the others~"
If the words of Little Qilin spread, those cultivators would be angry and beat him to death.
At the beginning, they divided up more than 130 puppet stone statues in the maze, which was already a great wealth. Later, Ning Yuzhou also distributed one-third of the puppets to Chi Xiaozong, after refining the puppet hearts inside , can be used as a sparring partner for disciples below Yuanling Realm, which is very useful.
According to what Xiao Qilin said at the beginning, there are not many puppets in the underground palace. After Xiao Qilin woke up, he used the stone statue of the puppet as his own body, so he found that those high-level puppets with the defensive power of the Yuan Emperor had received it in its domain in advance. Only middle and low-level puppets are left in the underground palace for defense.
As for these high-level puppets, the little unicorn regarded them as its temporary shells, without puppet shells, it would not dare to run around outside.
"Is there a puppet with the defensive power of the Yuan Saint Realm?" Wen Qiao asked curiously.
"Yes." Little Qilin said, pulling out a golden stone puppet statue, "This one is from Yuansheng Realm, I like this puppet the most."
This golden puppet statue was just what I met in the dark and empty Qilin Palace, and was hidden there by the little Qilin as a treasure. If Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao were not attracted by it, it would not be given to others. look.
Fortunately, Wen Qiao and the others didn't covet its puppet shell. After it was put away, Ning Yuzhou asked it for two puppets with the defensive power of Yuan Emperor.
"Give us these two puppets, you can take whatever you want from the space." Ning Yuzhou said generously.
The little unicorn was very happy, "I want a phoenix egg!"
Emperor Cheng Hao: "????" What? And beasts
Unexpectedly, this young unicorn is quite demanding.
Ning Yuzhou said calmly: "Phoenix is one of the four spirits, do you think two puppets can be exchanged? It's a good idea!"
"Then how can I give it to me?" Little Qilin asked eagerly while picking at the hem of his robe.
Wen Qiao asked it curiously, "Xiao Ting, what do you want the phoenix egg for? You don't want to bake it and eat it?"
Little Qilin: "... Sister, am I such a ferocious beast?"
Wen Qiao let out a heck, and hurriedly said: "So it's not, then why do you want it?"
"The phoenix is one of the four spirits, of course I have to be optimistic about it." The little unicorn said naturally, "Our beasts should not appear in the lower realms, but those who are sent down have their own responsibilities. I want to know why it was sent Come down. Also, the relationship between Qilin and Phoenix is also good. When you ascend to the upper world in the future, I will bring Phoenix up together... "
It turned out to be like this.
Wen Qiao stroked the little unicorn's head with gentle eyes.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Although we took it with us for the time being, we didn't think about what to do with it. After the phoenix egg breaks its shell, it depends on you."
The little unicorn immediately said confidently: "No problem, brother Ning, don't worry, I will definitely keep it from spewing fire everywhere."
Ning Yuzhou hummed in satisfaction, and carried the two puppets with the defensive power of the Yuan Saint Realm to work.
Seeing his son going to work, Emperor Cheng Hao looked at his daughter-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, where is the phoenix egg?"
Wen Qiao pointed to the Yin Yang Spring.
Emperor Cheng Hao was a little confused at first, and soon remembered that there seemed to be a round gray stone stuck in the group of strange stones by the Yinyang Spring—he really thought it was an egg-shaped stone, but who knew it was a phoenix Egg.
"Where did this egg come from?" Emperor Cheng Hao asked.
Wen Qiao said: "It was caught in the corpse lake in the Thirteenth Mansion of Dry Bones."
Emperor Cheng Hao didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Seeing that the spiritual grass and spiritual plants in the space are growing well, and even the dozen golden bearded cloud emperor bamboos are growing vigorously, Wen Qiao leaves the space.
The defensive array in the yard showed no sign of being touched, Wen Qiao opened the defensive array and walked out.
"Your Highness." The old butler trotted over and glanced at the enclosed courtyard, "Are you going out?"
Wen Qiao responded.
Seeing her striding out, the old butler hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Wen family is here."
