Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the 15th day of the first lunar month.
In fact, on the second day of Ding Ning's closed-door training, the women knew that he was not in his room, but no one knew where he went.
Although the women did not say it out loud, they inevitably muttered in their hearts, guessing whether this guy had sneaked away to have an affair again.
In the evening, Luoxue and Miaomiao returned to Paradise Island in advance. Now the cooking skills of those Demon Clan girls had been greatly improved, and they could take charge of the cooking independently. They also took a break from their busy schedule and became hands-off shopkeepers.
The third branch and the fourth branch were already in full swing. Now with Ye Linglong and other Talisman Masters who had just started out, Ding Ning did not need to do the decoration by himself.
It was worth mentioning that under the suggestion of her mother-in-law, Su Ningxiang, the preparation of the first branch in Yan Jing was also officially put on the agenda.
What a joke! It was a great honor for her mother-in-law to like to eat the food she cooked. Luoxue did not dare to neglect it and must ensure that her mother-in-law had three meals a day.
Therefore, in order to make it convenient for her mother-in-law to eat, the location was chosen on the top floor of the 26-story building opposite Datang Group. This time, Ding Qianlie was very generous. She spent a lot of money to buy the whole building and named it Xiangning Building.
If it were not for fear that the word "Ning" would be too obvious and arouse the suspicion of some people, Ding Qianlie would have directly used the name "Xiangning".
Although the money was spent like water, Ding Qianlie did not feel distressed at all. Anyway, the Zhou Family had officially signed a contract with Longteng Group. Once the Rice Bean Oral Solution was on the market, she would not worry about not making money.
It should be known that the Rice Bean Oral Solution was priced at a low price in China, but Ding Ning would not be soft-hearted to foreigners. The price would be dozens of times higher than that in China, so the huge profits could be imagined.
The Pavilion in the Air only occupied the top floor and the rooftop, and there were still 25 empty floors. Longteng Group and Magnificent Tang Corporation each occupied three of the floors as the office of their Yan Jing branch.
Mosquito, the boss of the Yan Jing branch of Zuihongyan, also very extravagantly rented five floors and imitated the headquarters to set up a beauty club. She opened beauty services such as sweat steaming, skin whitening, volcanic mud skin care, massage and maintenance, and so on. Finally, she turned from a poor shell company into a formal cosmetics company.
Du Mosheng, on the other hand, reserved three floors for the Beijing branch of the "Guardian Knight" car manufacturing company. Of course, it was only a reservation. The head office hadn't officially opened yet. They were all sisters, so it was normal for them to enjoy special treatment.
Murong Yanran also rented the hall on the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor as the first branch of Ningran Jewelry in Yan Jing.
Good heavens, there were a total of twenty-six floors, and seventeen floors were occupied by their own people, leaving only nine floors empty. This made Ye Linglong and the others very busy. Every morning, they would be teleported to Yanjing to start decorating with runes.
Ding Qianlie didn't intend to rent the remaining nine floors for the time being, because the location of the Xiangning Building was not in the prosperous business district, and it couldn't be rented at a high price now.
However, after these companies officially opened for business, with the presence of Pavilion in the Air and Zuihongyan, two companies that attracted traffic, the Fragrant Condensation Building would inevitably become a hot commodity. At that time, the rent would not be the same as it was now.
This was also the reason why Murong Yanran was willing to open the Ningran Jewelry branch in the Xiangning Building. It should be known that the customers of Zuihongyan Cosmetics Company were all rich women, and these people were the main force to consume gold, silver, and jewelry.
In addition, although the Pavilion in the Air was affordable, it also had high-end food and beverages. With the delicious food of the restaurant, the rich people in Yan Jing would definitely flock to it.
Anyone who wanted to dine in Zuihongyan or the Pavilion in the Air must pass through the booth of Ningran Jewelry on the first floor to reach the elevator. Would there be no traffic?
"Today is the 15th day of the first lunar month. My husband should come out, right?"
All the women gathered around the table, and no one moved their chopsticks. They were all waiting for Ding Ning. Peng Tianjie said with uncertainty.
"He should."
Ding Qianlie said without confidence.
"This guy can't be so unreliable, can he? Today is the 15th day of the first lunar month. "
Xiao Nuo said angrily.
"Maybe, he was delayed by something. I believe he will definitely come back."
Zi Que 'er comforted her considerately.
"Humph, in the name of closed-door training, I don't know where he has gone to pick up girls."
Xiao Nuo didn't care about that and said in a sour tone. Her little vinegar jar was overturned again.
"It's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs."
A clear voice suddenly came, making all the women happy. They all turned around and were instantly dumbfounded.
They saw Ding Ning in ragged clothes, unkempt hair and dirty face, dressed like a beggar, walking out of the room where he did closed-door training with a bitter smile on his face.
"Husband? Where did you go to beg for food? Why are you so miserable? "
He Ling 'er covered her mouth and teased him with a smile.
"Alas, it's a long story. I almost couldn't come back alive this time."
Ding Ning had a lingering fear on his face.
All the women immediately became nervous, and Ding Qianlie said worriedly, "What happened?"
"Uh, nothing. I just accepted a trial, and the process of the trial was a little bitter."
Ding Ning realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly tried to remedy it.
"A trial?"
All the women looked at each other and didn't understand, but Ding Ning obviously didn't want to say more. He laughed and said, "I'm going to take a bath. You can eat first."
Although they didn't know what the trial he mentioned was, since he didn't want to say more and came back safely, they wouldn't insist on getting to the bottom of it.
In the bathroom of the room on the second floor, Ding Ning was taking a bath while recalling the process of accepting the weapon refinement in Wu Shen Palace. He couldn't help showing fear on his face.
It was too dangerous. This time he really almost died in it.
He had no choice. Every time he accepted the weapon refinement, he had to pass the trial to enter the next level.
And the trial was not as easy as the adult trial of the Wu Tribe's warriors. He couldn't use any other power except his physical strength. Even with his strong fighting capacity, he almost died every time.
The horrible fire-breathing phoenix, the strange insects and monsters that he had never heard of, the terrible natural disasters, the desperate fighting puppets, the endless army of the undead …
Now that he thought about it, it was not a trial at all. It was simply a challenge of a higher level. There was always a group of powerful beings that he couldn't compete with waiting for him, and he struggled on the line of death every day.
Every time, he was forced to the limit. His limbs, bones, and even his internal organs were smashed many times. He had to use the last bit of his strength to pass the trial.
The weapon refinement, which used to be extremely painful for him, had become the only safe time he could enjoy during this period.
Although it had only been ten days, he seemed to have experienced hundreds of millions of years.
Of course, the benefits that came with it were also proportional to the danger.
Although his cultivation realm did not increase, not only did he have more battle experience, his willpower was trained to the greatest extent, and his control over his power had reached more than 90%.
Now that his physical strength had reached an unbelievable level, he believed that if he met that silly old man Mu again, he would be able to smash him into pieces with just his physical strength.
Clenching his fists, Ding Ning smiled in satisfaction as he felt the seemingly inexhaustible vast power in his body.
He was confident that if he met his grandfather who had gone crazy again, he would not be as helpless as before, even though he was definitely not a match for him. After all, his cultivation realm was still there. It would not be a problem for him to escape easily.
The only thing that made him depressed was that the ninth level of Wu Shen Palace was not open to him. The answer given by the God of War Totem was that his cultivation realm was too low and he was not qualified to open the ninth level.
However, the answer given by the God of War Totem was that he would only be qualified to open the ninth level if he could defeat it.
Alright, after his strength had skyrocketed, his confidence had also skyrocketed, and he had recklessly challenged the God of War Totem.
In the end, the God of War Totem had only gently waved its hand, and he had been beaten senseless, becoming like a bird.
Originally, he had not been convinced and wanted to continue challenging, but the God of War Totem had asked him very seriously if he wanted to challenge it.
It had only used less than one ten-thousandth of its power. If he really wanted to challenge it, it would officially activate the challenge mode. However, once the challenge mode was activated, there would only be two outcomes: either he would defeat it, or he would die.
At that time, Ding Ning had been terrified. Even if he did not challenge it for the rest of his life, he did not want to court his own death. The God of War Totem was too strong, so strong that he could not see any hope of defeating it.
He even suspected that even a peak Elemental Dao expert might not be a match for the God of War Totem.
Fortunately, the God of War Totem eventually told him that he did not need to come anymore. When he met the requirements for the challenge, he would naturally be sent to Wu Shen Palace to challenge it.
Ding Ning even thought about how he would not have to challenge the terrifying God of War Totem if he did not improve his cultivation in the future.
Unfortunately, the God of War Totem seemed to have seen through his thoughts and poured a bucket of cold water on him. It told him an extremely bad news, which made his heart instantly turn cold.
As it turned out, the inheritor of Wu Shen Palace was not him. Every plane would have an inheritor, and he was only the inheritor of the plane he was in.
Once an inheritor successfully challenged the totem and obtained the final inheritance, all the other inheritors would be mercilessly obliterated.
This meant that his previous idea was not feasible at all. If someone successfully challenged the totem and obtained the final inheritance, he would die a violent death.
The feeling that his fate was not in his control made him very uncomfortable. However, he had already jumped into this trap, and it was impossible for him to back out now.
The only thing he could do was to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he would be qualified to challenge the God of War Totem. Otherwise, he would not even know how he died.
Most importantly, the God of War Totem revealed an even worse piece of news to him. He was currently the weakest among all the inheritors.
The most powerful one had already set foot on Original Dao. As long as his luck was not too bad, he should be qualified to challenge the totem in a hundred years at most. However, it was still unknown whether he would succeed.
There was only a hundred years left. Ding Ning took a deep breath as he looked into the mirror. A determined look gradually appeared in his eyes.
He still had a bright future ahead of him. He still had beautiful women, as well as relatives, brothers, and friends that he could not bear to part with. How could he die so easily?
Therefore, for the sake of the people he cared about, he would do whatever it took to become a peak Original Dao powerhouse within a hundred years.
Ding Ning left the bathroom and changed into a clean set of clothes. He then summoned Keke, who had become his spiritual pet, and held her little hand as they walked downstairs.
All the women looked at him with extremely strange expressions. Well, they knew that this guy would bring back at least one woman every time he disappeared.
