The spiritual qi in this Flat Cloud Mountain was thin. It wasn't suitable for cultivation. Moreover, there wasn't a single cultivation clan, cultivation city or sect within a thousand miles radius.
There were only a few mortal towns.
Usually, there wasn't even a shadow of a cultivator in this place. It wasn't easy to have a paradise in a low-grade cultivation country like Yue Country.
More than a year ago, a young man in black clothes came to Ping An Village and stayed there.
A year later, that young man named Ning Gu had grown into a young man and was living a peaceful life here.
He would work at sunrise and rest at sunset. He made a living by hunting. His hunting technique was even better than some of the hunters who had lived for generations in Ping An Village. Once upon a time, a Tiger Spirit accidentally entered Peace Village. That Tiger Spirit somehow managed to cultivate a trace of Demon Qi, which gave him extraordinary strength and ferocity. He would often enter the village during the day and eat raw pigs and cows. He would even kill the villagers. A few hunters from the village tried to hunt this tiger but all of them died tragically. Many villagers who had lived here for generations began to think about leaving the village.
Right at this moment, that lawless Tiger Spirit was killed by a single arrow from Ning Gu, who had an ordinary appearance.
The tiger demon had thick skin and was protected by demonic qi. How could a mortal's bow and arrow hurt it? However, Ning Gu had forcefully shot an arrow through the middle of the tiger's forehead and pierced through its tail, killing the tiger … The power of this arrow was too terrifying!
The villagers were saved, and Ning Gu's name resounded throughout the small village. It had even caused the village chief's daughter to secretly fall in love with him.
Unfortunately, Ning Gu didn't like to hunt. He only hunted for food. He didn't like to see blood and kill. It was as if he had a shadow in his heart. What he loved the most was to grow camellia flowers. Each of them bloomed under the bamboo fence, taking root and sprouting, bringing along his longing.
This year, he still couldn't remember Ning Fan. His longing was only placed on the camellia flowers.
In the courtyard, he looked at the camellia flowers that were swaying in the wind. His cold eyes gradually softened.
The camellia was called Sea Pomegranate by the villagers. The camellia that Ning Gu grew was filled with spiritual qi. Some kind-hearted villagers helped Ning Gu to sell the excess camellias to the big cities outside the mountain. Gradually, Ning Gu relied on growing and selling flowers to earn money. Finally, he didn't need to hunt anymore.
It would be best if he didn't have to kill her …
The autumn wind blew. Ning Gu's black clothes were a little thin. Outside the fence, a young girl's voice with a local accent was heard softly.
"Ning Gu, the weather is cold. Father asked me to bring you this wolf fur coat to wear!"
Outside the fence, a simple girl dressed like a mountain person pushed open the wooden door. She was holding a thick silver wolf fur coat.
This fur robe was made of pure wolf fur, without a single strand of impurities. Even if it was sold in a big city, it could be sold for a lot of money. However, this woman used her father's name to give it to Ning Gu.
This woman was the daughter of the village chief, and her name was An Ran. She was not extremely beautiful, but she was simple and clean, making it hard for people to forget her face after seeing it.
This woman had liked Ning Gu for a very long time …
She had taken the risk to hunt for the wolf fur coat in the deep mountains. Then, she had sewn it with thread and thread.
The wolf fur coat was also a homophone. It contained a trace of the young girl's ignorant thoughts … Wolf fur coat, Lang Jun begs, leisurely clothes, just a glance from Lang Jun, Lang Jun knows …
"Why are you here again?"
Ning Gu frowned slightly. He did not dare to use his cultivation base, but his Level Ten Vein Opening Realm cultivation base was still there after all. It was impossible for him to be afraid of the cold weather like a mortal.
He did not need this wolf fur coat!
"Hmph, such a big temper at such a young age. I'm making clothes for you out of goodwill …" The young girl seemed to be wronged.
"I don't need your goodwill!" Ning Gu's temper was quite stubborn.
"You, you, you! You're just a little better at shooting … I want to compete with you! "The young girl did not care. She placed the wolf fur coat on the wooden table in the courtyard and took off the carving bow on her back.
"You can't win against me!" Ning Gu's temper flared, and he took off the longbow on the wall.
Therefore, the mountain people who were passing by outside the fence started to laugh.
"Aiya, Ning Gu and An Ran are quarreling again … Their relationship is so good!"
"But An Ran will definitely cry in anger later … Her shooting skill is not as good as Ning Gu's."
The mountain people's gossip did not affect Ning Gu's mind at all, but it made the young girl feel ashamed and angry. However, she felt sweet in her heart.
In the courtyard, there was a rock with many holes on it.
The young girl drew her bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow hit the tip of the rock and went half an inch into the rock.
This young girl's shooting skill was very accurate and her strength was not weak.
However, before she could feel proud, Ning Gu indifferently nocked an arrow. The arrow split the young girl's arrow into two halves. Without losing any momentum, the entire arrow went into the rock!
Outside the fence, there was a burst of cheers, and the young girl cried and left.
"Ning Gu, you bully! Bully! I won't be friends with you anymore! "
As for Ning Gu, he kept his bow and arrow indifferently like a piece of wood. He did not chase after the young girl.
...
On the peak of Ping Yun Mountain, a young man in white clothes and black cloak stood amidst the clouds and wind. When he withdrew his spirit sense, he had already understood everything that happened in Ping An Village.
Ning Gu was living a good life. His complexion seemed to have recovered quite well after a year of recuperation.
What made Ning Fan the happiest was that this silly boy actually had a girl who admired him.
However, the only thing that bothered Ning Fan was that this Ning Gu was like a piece of wood. Not only did he not know how to coax girls, but his words and actions were also disgusting to girls. However, that girl still did not dislike Ning Gu until now. It was really rare …
"An Ran, this name is very good. It's better than Ning Gu … You need to live a peaceful life. This kind of life is what you yearn for. The bloody shadow of cultivation is not suitable for you …"
Ning Fan's eyes revealed an inexplicable expression. With a flash of light, he disappeared from the peak of the mountain.
...
In the village head's house, An Ran cried all the way home. When she reached home, she was still reprimanded by her father.
"Stinky girl, you gave away a wolf fur coat for no reason. Do you know how much this wolf fur coat can be sold in Ping City?! A girl's heart is always with an outsider. This is really … really infuriating! Get the wolf fur coat back for me later! "
"So what if you gave it away? I was the one who hunted it anyway! It's none of your business! "An Ran twisted her head and retorted.
Her father was the village head. Usually, all the villagers were polite to him. Who would dare to talk back to him? Even An Ran did not dare to talk back to her father.
Perhaps she was in a hurry today, so she actually said something wrong. Immediately, her father was enraged.
His temper was usually fierce. In a moment of desperation, he even slapped the girl.
The village head immediately regretted his action. His strength was equivalent to a thousand jin. He could even fight a tiger or a bear. If this slap landed on his daughter's face, he was afraid that her petite body would not be able to withstand it.
However, once the slap landed, it was not easy to retract it.
But at this moment, a breeze blew past. The palm force that was strong enough to repel a tiger or a leopard was blocked by that breeze. The palm force vanished without a trace.
At the same time, an indifferent voice was heard from outside the house. Immediately, a young man in white clothes and black cloak entered the house.
This young man was thin and his face was pale. It was obvious that his qi and blood were weak. However, when the village head met his gaze, he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
He had hunted countless tigers and leopards in his life. He had seen the cold light in the eyes of countless wild beasts. However, he had never seen a wild beast's gaze that was more terrifying than this young man in front of him.
Under this gaze, his whole body trembled. He could not control himself.
If this young man was a mortal, he would definitely be an expert who could fight against a hundred people. If he was an immortal, he would definitely be … a devil who killed like a mountain!
The village head could not see through the young man, but with just a glance, he knew that this young man must not be provoked.
This was the intuition that he had cultivated through countless life and death situations.
This feeling only rose in the village head's heart, but it did not affect the girl at all.
The girl was unaware of it. She secretly opened her eyes and was surprised to find that her father did not hit her. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the young man at the door with a strange feeling in her heart.
Who was this young man? Why did he directly enter her house? Did this young man not know that her father hated rude people the most? What he hated the most was for a villager to enter his house without greeting him?
The young man smiled faintly and retracted his pressure. Then, something that surprised the girl immediately played out.
Not only did her father not blame the young man for being rude, on the contrary, for the first time in her life, her father put away the cold expression on his face and squeezed out an ugly smile.
"Sir, are you here to rest in our village?"
The girl could see the respectful attitude of the village head. She was extremely surprised. Could it be that this inconspicuous young man in front of her was a big shot? That was why her father, who had seen a little of the world, was so afraid of him?
However, no matter how the girl looked at him, she could not see which part of the young man in front of her was different from the others. It seemed that his body was extremely weak and he was not as strong as her …
"Village head, you don't have to be so polite … I have heard every word that you said just now … I am Ning Gu's elder brother. Since that wolf fur coat was given to my younger brother, it is impossible for me to take it back. As for me, I don't have any money to compensate for that wolf fur coat …"
The young man's words carried a smile. However, when the smile fell into the village head's eyes, it made him sweat even more. The smile on his face also became wider.
Good heavens, so this young man is Ning Gu's elder brother. It seems that he is a few times more powerful than Ning Gu.
That Ning Gu was able to kill the Tiger Demon with a single arrow. It was already extremely impressive. But now, Ning Gu's elder brother is an even more powerful and ruthless person …
Moreover, the faint smell of blood on the young man's body made the village head complain incessantly in his heart.
There was no doubt that this young man was a devil who killed people like flies … No matter if he was an immortal or a mortal, he was not someone that the village head could afford to offend.
Wolf fur coat … If the village head knew that Ning Gu had such a ruthless elder brother, he would definitely not reprimand his daughter. He would also not dare to have the slightest thought of taking back the wolf fur coat.
As for the fact that he was stopped by the young man when he was teaching his daughter a lesson … The village head did not dare to blame the young man for being a busybody.
As the village head, he finally knew how to be a tactful person. He could act like a tyrant in front of the simple villagers. However, if he dared to be ruthless in front of the young man in front of him, there would be endless troubles!
"Hehe, so this little brother is Ning Gu's elder brother. Good, good …" The village head smiled. However, even he himself did not understand what was the meaning of his praise and what was so good about it.
On the contrary, the young lady's bright eyes flashed. Her gaze towards the young man suddenly became gentle.
So this person is Ning Gu's elder brother. Ning Gu, that stupid blockhead, did not give me any face no matter how I tried to please him. His elder brother is quite easy-going …
Since he is Ning Gu's elder brother, I naturally have to be more polite.
"Big Brother Ning, do you want to take a rest in my humble house? I will go and boil some water and make some tea for you …"
The young lady's enthusiasm made the village head speechless.
The person in front of him is a malefic star. I can't even invite him away, but you still want him to stay!
Stupid daughter, stupid daughter, stupid daughter!
The young man smiled faintly as if he could see the fear in the village head. He shook his head and rejected the young lady's kindness.
"There is no need to trouble yourself. I am not thirsty … Your daughter, is her name An Ran?" The young man's eyes flashed as if he had made a decision.
"Yes, this name was given by her mother. She is uncultured. It is not a good name, not a good name …" The village head smiled bitterly.
"No, this name is very good."
"Yes, this name does not look good. In fact, it is very good, very good …" The village head did not know what he was saying anymore. In short, whatever the young man said was right.
"An Ran, Ning Gu. They are a good match, aren't they?" The young man seemed to be muttering to himself.
When the village head heard this, it was as if he was struck by lightning. He was stunned.
It's over. Is this young devil here to propose marriage? Or is he going to snatch my daughter and make her his younger brother's wife?!
This is not good! Isn't it extremely dangerous for my daughter to be the wife of the devil's younger brother?
Although he was snobbish, showy and petty, he really cared about his daughter. Naturally, he was not willing to push his daughter into the fire pit.
However, in front of the young man, he could not muster up the courage to say no.
At this juncture, the young lady put down the firewood and entered the house. Her eyes were shining brightly.
"Big Brother Ning, do you really think that Ning Gu and I are a good match?" Naturally, she could hear the implied meaning in the young man's words.
"Yes, you are a good match. If I ask you to be Ning Gu's wife, are you willing?" The young man smiled.
"I am willing!" The young lady said happily. However, she immediately sighed faintly, "But he is not willing …"
"No. Actually, Ning Gu also likes you … According to my understanding of him, he will not even look at something that he does not like. He just does not know how to make you happy. Since he was young, he did not know how to speak. He did not know how to make people like him. He is always stirring up trouble … "The young man's eyes flashed with reminiscence.
After that, he patted his storage bag and took out a crystal hairpin and a jade pill bottle.
The village head had never seen a storage bag before. When he saw the young man take out two items like magic, his face was immediately filled with astonishment!
This young man was indeed an immortal! Other than immortals, who else could make treasures appear out of nowhere?!
The crystal hairpin was sparkling and translucent. The village head had never seen such a precious accessory in his life.
As for the pill bottle, a trace of fragrance floated out. When the village head smelled it, his spirit was immediately lifted. How could he not guess that the bottle contained an immortal pill?! Even the jade bottle that contained the immortal pill could be sold for thousands of silver in the mortal world!
Treasures, all of them were treasures!
"This jade hairpin is for you. Wear it and you will be safe and sound for the rest of your life. This pill is called 'Fortune Pill'. If an ordinary person consumes one, their life span will be extended by ten years. They will not suffer from any illness or disaster … This is for you. You can give it to whoever you want … You don't have to worry about anyone stealing these treasures. Whoever dares to steal them will definitely die!"
The young man's eyes flashed. His sword qi moved and several sword senses flashed and entered the crystal hairpin.
"These gifts are your reward for your kindness to Ning Gu … I will be leaving for a period of time. Please take good care of Ning Gu …"
"Don't worry. I will take good care of him … even if he doesn't like me …" The young lady said with determination in her eyes.
"That's good." The young man smiled faintly. He seemed to be very satisfied with the young lady's answer. His eyes seemed to have sensed something as he looked outside the house.
After that, he gave the young lady an inexplicable smile. "Look, he is here. He really cares about you."
Immediately, a black light flashed around the young man. The Yuan Qi of heaven and earth fluctuated and he disappeared in front of the two of them!
The young lady was finally dumbfounded. Could it be that Ning Gu's big brother was not an ordinary person but an immortal?
As for her father, he finally heaved a long sigh of relief after the young man left.
Tired, too tired! Just by staying in front of the young man, the village chief felt as if he had lost half of his life.
The village chief's eyes immediately lit up when he recalled the treasures that the young man had given him.
He did not know much about the crystal hairpin. However, the pill might be just like what the young man had said. Eating one pill could increase one's lifespan by ten years!
Lifespan was the most important thing for ordinary people! Even the emperor of the mortal world could not escape death!
A single pill could increase one's lifespan by ten years. This was a priceless treasure!
However, after receiving these gifts, the village chief sighed in his heart. These gifts were too precious. It was enough to be used as a return gift for the wolf fur coat. It was even enough to be used as a betrothal gift from Ning Gu to An Ran!
The young man did not give the village chief any leeway to reject the gifts. Although the village chief did not want to reject the gifts himself …
It seemed like he could no longer get involved in the matter between Ning Gu and An Ran … He would just let his daughter do whatever she wanted …
...
The young girl was holding the crystal hairpin and the pill bottle in her hands. While she was in a daze, Ning Gu's familiar voice came from outside the door. It was still indifferent, but there was a trace of concern in it.
He pushed the door open and barged into the house. Ning Gu did not even look at the village chief. His cold eyes slightly relaxed when he saw that An Ran was safe and sound.
"Are you alright?" He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Pfft … What can happen to me? Could it be that you are concerned about me? " An Ran burst out laughing. Her heart was filled with sweetness. Ning Gu's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He almost flicked his sleeves and left.
He did not like to see the young girl's proud look. However, he was even more unwilling to see something happen to the young girl …
The aura of that cultivator just now was too strong. What exactly happened …?
Just when he was about to leave, his gaze fell on the jade hairpin and the pill bottle in An Ran's arms.
The jade hairpin was actually a high-grade magical treasure. Moreover, it contained several extremely powerful spirit senses. Each of them seemed to be able to easily kill a Gold Core old monster!
As for the pill bottle, the pill fragrance that was emitted was stronger than a Second Revolution pill … Third Revolution pill! It was even the peak quality of the Third Revolution pill!
What caught Ning Gu's attention the most was the familiar aura on the jade hairpin and the pill bottle.
"This is … This is …" This aura was very familiar to him. However, he could not recall it at all. It could only stir up waves of emotions in his heart.
"This was given to me by your big brother …" This was the first time the young girl saw Ning Gu lose his composure. She showed off the treasures in her arms proudly.
"Let me have a look?!" Ning Gu said anxiously.
"No. Unless you catch me!" The young girl winked cunningly and slipped out of the house. As for Ning Gu, he was stubborn. He chased after her like a wisp of smoke.
"If you don't want to let me have a look, I will naturally be able to have a look if I catch you!"
The young boy and the young girl started to chase each other in the mountain village.
When this scene fell into the eyes of the elders, it turned into a knowing smile.
