Chapter 66: Harsh Words

  As for Ning Fan Yu, at this moment his face had completely turned a deep purple color, with an expression of utter disbelief. He blinked hard, and although the distance was far, Ning Fan Yu still clearly saw that what Ning Chong held in his hand was indeed the Jade Marrow!

  Ning Fan was both angry and embarrassed, but everything was still his own doing. For a moment, the mocking and sarcastic words that had just been directed at Ning Chong's behavior were like slaps in the face, hitting him hard, and he didn't know what to do, his face completely turning black like a pot bottom.

  After a moment, Ning Fan Yu finally came to his senses. Even in front of Ning Jing, he didn't hide it and gave Ning Chong two gloomy and venomous glances. In a cold voice, he said: "I didn't think you had such vision! Good... very good! Ning Chong, let's wait and see!" He then left with his two lackluster servants.

  Ning Fan walked towards Ning Chong's direction, but gradually relaxed his tense body, and by the time he approached Ning Chong, he was completely at ease.

  First and foremost, Ning Chong actually felt a considerable amount of pressure under Ning Fan's aura. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, silently exclaiming in his heart: "Sixth-stage Warrior! Indeed, during these past six months, Ning Fan hasn't been stagnant at all; his strength has also been rapidly increasing!"

  However, Ning Fangyu's growth rate is still astonishing! Ning Fangyu and Ning Chong are of the same age, both fourteen years old, and even Ning Ziyue, the first genius of the younger generation of the family, did not reach the height of "Sixth Stage Warrior" at the age of fourteen!

  At this time, Ning Chong couldn't help but admit that although Ning Fan was not likable, his martial arts talent and qualifications were indeed superior to many others. He was indeed the number one genius of the Ning family's outer sect!

  On the other side, Ning Fan Yu suddenly lowered his voice and spoke word by word into Ning Chong's ear: "Hmph, I heard that you must participate in the family's outer disciple competition a month later to keep your engagement with your fiancée? Hmph, very good, you'd better pray that you don't run into me at that time, otherwise I will definitely cripple you and make you a complete waste of martial arts from then on!"

  Facing Ning Fan Yu's threat, Ning Chong sneered coldly in his heart and said calmly: "These words are exactly what I wanted to give you! Ning Fan Yu, one month later, the 'great kindness' of half a year ago will be repaid a hundredfold!"

  "Is that so? With just your Super Trash of the First Stage of Talentless Warrior? How interesting! Too interesting! Hmph, hmph, hmph!"

  Ning Chong had been using the Introspection Technique to hide his true cultivation level, so in Ning Fan's senses, he was immediately determined to be a waste material at the extreme point, and after half a year, he still had the cultivation of a Warrior First Stage.

  Naturally, in Ning Fan's view, a waste like Ning Chong, even if there were a thousand or ten thousand of them, wouldn't pose any threat to him!

  In terms of jewelry appraisal, Ning Chong lost to Ning Fan Yu, this was the first defeat in Ning Fan Yu's decades-long life, he felt extremely humiliated and had no face to stay any longer.

  Ning Fan Yu put down the threatening words, gritted his teeth in his heart, and decided that a month later, after Ning Chong's death, he would leave the store with two more slaves.

  "Ning Chong brother, what were you just talking about? Is Ning Fan Yu threatening you?"

  Quietly walked up with concern and asked, her face still full of resentment.

  Ning Chong smiled and said: "Nothing, just a normal conversation. Hmm, little girl, this jade marrow is yours now, are you happy?"

  Wow!

  Jingjing excitedly jumped up and grabbed the jade pendant.

  As soon as she put away the jade pendant, her expression turned ferocious, she wrinkled up her little nose, raised her small fist and said viciously: "Don't call me Little Maid anymore! I've grown up, I'm an adult now!"

  She paused for a moment, then stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Hehe, since you gave me the jade pendant, I'll let you call me Jing'er like my parents do! Hehe!"

  "Hehe——"

  Ning Chong rubbed his nose, smiled happily, and didn't say anything else. The little girl's vitality and joy made him happy too, feeling that the color had returned to his world which had been gray for a long time.

  The jade hairpin was given to Ning Jing, and the little girl was finally satisfied. Ning Chong exerted some effort again and eventually sent the little girl back home.

  Ning Chong did not immediately return home, but instead turned back to the city center.

  After searching around on the main street for a while, Ning Chong's footsteps stopped in front of a store called "Lingyao Hall".

  Ning Chong was a well-known figure, the Ling Yao Tang was a store that specialized in buying and selling various spiritual medicines and demon beast materials, with immense financial resources, it was the most prominent in Xuan Yuan City.

  As he entered, Ning Chong found that the shop was not very large and the decorations were not too luxurious. He couldn't help but feel a slight sense of admiration for Lingyao Hall's understanding of humility and practicality, making a fortune in a low-key manner.

  After entering the Lingyao Hall, Ning Chong swept his gaze across the various people inside and found that there were many people coming and going in the shop, mostly martial artists. Although it was bustling with activity, the order was extremely good, probably due to the several strong individuals who occasionally patrolled the area with their hands behind their backs.

  Ning Chong carefully sensed that the several strong men had the lowest strength of Wudang's 9th stage, and there were even one or two people whose abilities Ning Chong couldn't see through at present. They should be martial artists in the realm of Wusheng.

  It seems that this store has a deep background!

  However, in such a store, both the buyer and seller can rest assured. With business being urgent, Ning Chun saw that there was an empty space at the counter and walked over to it, taking out a leather bag containing various demon beast materials and spiritual medicine from his spatial ring.

  "Shopkeeper, take a look at these things and tell me how much they're worth. I want to sell them to your store."

  The shopkeeper who received Ning Chong did not have any fluctuations in his yuan energy, he was an ordinary old man, but his eyes were spirited and his demeanor was calm. He smiled and nodded, took the leather bag, opened it, counted the materials while quoting prices: "Eight Purple Flower Fruits, worth 120 taels of white silver; Twenty-six Wind Leopard Teeth, worth 92 taels of white silver; One Blood Python Inner Elixir, worth 580 taels of white silver..."

  "The total is two thousand seven hundred and eighty-five taels. Sir, are you willing to sell?"

  Ning Chong nodded and said: "No problem, but it's inconvenient to carry silver coins. Change them all into gold tickets for me."

  This gold ticket was issued by the Qianzhuang under the Great Gan Empire, relying on the powerful empire as a backing, so unless the Great Gan Empire is destroyed, this gold ticket may become invalid. However, the probability of this is roughly negligible.

  With such a guarantee, the gold ticket is convenient to carry and use, and naturally gained the trust of people all over the country. Now, the gold ticket has been widely circulated in the Daqian Empire, used by everyone, and largely replaced the circulation of gold and silver.

  The shopkeeper heard Ning Chong's instructions and immediately politely ordered his assistants to put away the materials Ning Chong had sold. Then he opened a cabinet, took out several glittering gold notes from inside, counted them, and handed them over to Ning Chong, saying: "Sir, please count whether they are correct."
