Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 56 – Ning Bin
The young man stared blankly at the sword dripping with blood, not moving an inch until a young man who looked even younger than him walked out of the woods with a large bow in his hand, his face covered with half a piece of cloth that had been torn off from his shirt.

Yang Junshan looked at the expression of the saved youth, then walked to Junior Brother Cheng’s corpse and fumbled around, after that, many broken things were placed on the ground.

From these items, Yang Junshan picked up five to six Jade Coins s, two magic talismans, a foot long rune short sword, and various other items. Yang Junshan swept them all into the stream.

Raising his head to look at the young man who was still in a daze, Yang Junshan did not say a word, but walked to Senior Brother Ma’s side and continued to search through his belongings. However, this Senior Brother Ma was truly worthy of being a cultivator in the realm of Immortal Cultivation, as the treasures on his body were much richer than that of that Junior Brother Cheng.

He first took the twelve Jade Coins s, then the Yang Pills bottle, which contained six pills, poured one into his mouth to look at the color and color, then placed one into his nose to ask. Yang Junshan’s face immediately revealed a happy expression, this waop-grade cloud pellet, and was suitable for the high leveled cultivators in the Mortal Realm to use, although it was not as good as the profound pellet that Yang Junshan found when he was picking them up, it was still a genuine pellet refined from a furnace, not a medicinal pellet.

It was exactly the same as the beast skin talisman from before, which had blocked a few magic swords in succession. However, when he saw the wolf head drawn on the beast skin, Yang Junshan was startled, and then, without thinking, he threw the talisman at the young man’s feet.

There were two more round pieces of red stones that caught Yang Junshan’s attention. On the round stone were different kinds of flame runes, which were used to supplement his cultivation with the Scarlet Fire Rune. Cultivators who used their spirit energy to activate the Fire Rune would be able to use the Scarlet Flame Technique before reaching the fifth stage of cultivation.

This kind of talisman stone was different from talismans which could be activated by only the spiritual energy in the body. One had to first learn the techniques imprinted on the talisman stone, which would create a might comparable to that of the magic technique itself. Moreover, it would continue to be controlled by the cultivator, not by the magic talisman, which would weaken its power by quite a bit and would no longer be controlled by the cultivator.

Previously, Senior Martial Brother Ma had used the flame at the tips of his fingers to ignite the two Practitioner Swords, using the Scarlet Flame Technique. Previously, Senior Martial Brother Ma had used the flame at the tips of his fingers to ignite the two Practitioner Swords, using the Scarlet Flame Technique.

Although the use of these talismans was rather complicated, because they were related to the cultivation of cultivators, the value of these talismans and swords would often be greater than that of the talismans and talismans.

Unfortunately, Yang Junshan himself did not plan to cultivate in the Scarlet Flame Technique, and he did not know how to do so either. Therefore, these two Scarlet Flame Symbol Stones were of no use to him, but if he were to exchange them for Jade Coins, there would probably be a lot of cultivators rushing over.

Finally, Yang Junshan took out five to six pebbles the size of a duck’s egg and a metal ball from within his waist pouch. The three metal balls were all low grade spirit materials that had been refined and extracted from the raw rock, and the first was Scarlet Flame Iron, an essence that had been extracted from the Scarlet Flame Stone. The Scarlet Flame Stone was the ore he had obtained from the two Scarlet Flame Rune earlier, and the second was Star Point Steel, a metal of the lowest quality that had been refined from meteorites that had fallen from the sky.

With one look, Yang Junshan could tell that these three types of low grade spirit materials were treasures that Senior Brother Ma had saved up for him to refine magic tools.

The remaining three were stone balls, and two of them were red rusted rocks that Yang Junshan was extremely familiar with, causing his heart to sink. It seems that the secret of the red rusted rock has been leaked, and even the cultivators of Zhang County are starting to notice this?

At the beginning, Yang Junshan did not see through the stone orb, but after taking a closer look, he realised that the stone orb was actually a mid grade immortal spirit beast called Stone Egg.

The stone egg was not an egg, but this type of immortal spirit was rather special. It wareasure that was condensed within a mountain rock.

The harvest this time was not shallow. Yang Junshan nodded his head in satisfaction, and placed the two corpses together. Then, he started to look for some dried branches in the mountain forest in preparation to burn the corpses.

Walking up to the teenager who had been standing still, Yang Junshan asked: “First time you killed someone?”

The young man looked towards Yang Junshan, whose face was only half revealed, and seemed to have thought of something, a trace of emotion finally came to his eyes.

Slightly nodding his head, the young man threw the blood dripping arrow on the ground and said in a low voice, “Yes!”

“It’s nothing. These people deserve to die. If I don’t kill them now, the one who will die later might be you. It might even be your threatened father!”

Yang Junshan laughed, and then continued: “As long as you can continue to live, you’ll get used to this kind of slaughter.”

“Father!” The young man suddenly raised his head and shouted: “Not good, those people will kill my father, Uncle Sun, no, Sun Ze Lei is a spy from the Zhang County, he tricked me into being captured by them, they forced my father to buy the spiritual valley, and they even killed my father, Sun Ze Lei, to take over the position of guard, no, I have to go back quickly!”

The young man was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Junshan: “I do not dare to thank you for saving my life, I am Ning Bin, my father is Ning Ji, I am the guard of the Wangshan Town, please inform me of my name, I will definitely repay you in the future.”

“Ning Bin, is your name Ning Bin?” Yang Junshan looked at the youth in front of him, who was only one or two years older than him, with a shocked expression on his face.

It was just that the Ning Bin in the memories of his previous life had experienced many twists and turns, and his expression and temperament were all filled with maturity that had experienced many hardships, unlike the youth in front of him, who was now full of vitality.

Seeing that Yang Junshan could not hide the surprise on his face even with half of his face, Ning Bin asked: “Sir, do you recognize me?”

“I don’t recognize him!” Yang Junshan denied it immediately, and continued: “However, this one knows of the Ning Family, one of the three powerful families in Mengyu County. I heard that the Ning Family’s third generation has a delicate son, whose talent is not necessarily inferior to the number one genius in Mengyu County, Zhang Yueming, so it can’t be you, right?”

“Of course I can’t compare with Junior Zhang!”

Ning Bin had obviously admitted what he had said, and from the way he called Zhang Yueming “Junior Brother”, it was clear that he had been accepted by the Heaven-Shaken Sect as well. Ning Bin continued to speak, “Since Sir, you already know my background, then no matter what orders you give me in the future, I will definitely go and deliver them to my father, or the Ning Family in Mengyu County City.”

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then picked up the broken symbol sword on the ground, and said: “That’s fine, you owe me one too. If there comes a day that I need it, someone will bring a broken symbol sword to find you.”

Ning Bin cupped his hands towards Yang Junshan once more: “It’s a deal, but right now, I’m worried that my father will be harmed by this little person, so I’ll have to leave first.”

“Don’t worry!” Yang Junshan called out to Ning Bin who was about to leave, and said: “This is deep inside the Tuo Wu Shan, it iundred miles away from the Wangshan Town. You are only at the fourth stage of cultivation, you need at least four hours to return to the Wangshan Town.

Ning Bin was startled, before, he had forgotten about the distance between this place and the Wangshan Town, furthermore, he knew very well that he would not be able to recognize the road, if not for Yang Junshan stopping him, he would be lost in the forest.

“A mount?” Ning Bin immediately thought of something. “Are you saying …”

Yang Junshan set the two dead bodies on fire, and laughed: “How about it, the leader surnamed Niu’s cultivation is only weaker than yours, both are at the fourth layer of Immortal Foundation, the other two are probably weaker, do you have the guts to kill more?”

Ning Bin looked at the burnt corpse on the ground, the blazing flames making his face look even more sinister.

“Do it!”

When the words left his mouth, Ning Bin suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.

Yang Junshan laughed and said: “That’s good, the Tuo Wu Shan has only just opened up a secret path, the road ahead is extremely rough and difficult to traverse. The three food carts probably won’t be able to travel too far at this time, you and I can take a shortcut in the mountain and go ahead to ambush.”

Ning Bin nodded his head, and said: “I will listen to you, but whether or not I can use your two Scarlet Flame Talisman, I have also cultivated the Scarlet Flame Technique, and with the power of the Talisman, I can cast the technique, so my strength will definitely increase greatly.”

“Oh!” Yang Junshan threw the two talismans to him and laughed: “I gave it to you, and I also found the wolf skin talisman on the ground from Senior Brother Ma’s body. Seeing the wolf head on top, I brought this talisman to your father, thinking that your father knows what the wolf head is.”

Pausing for a moment, Yang Junshan continued: “Since you can use the Rune to cast the spell, then it looks like you will be the main attacker later on. I will help you with the array formation, be careful not to burn the silly cow beasts and the food cart down!”

Ning Bin looked at the other spoils of war that Yang Junshan had collected, and said solemnly: “Don’t worry!”

Yang Junshan knew that some of the things he looted definitely belonged to Ning Bin, and it was probably because of what he had looted back then that had been searched by Senior Brother Ma and Junior Brother Cheng. However, all of these things were Yang Junshan’s spoils of war now, so Ning Bin felt too embarrassed to open his mouth to ask as Yang Junshan naturally as he would be happy to pretend that he did not know.

After Yang Junshan pointed out the direction, this time, it was Ning Bin who was in front, and Yang Junshan who was behind them, he covered up all the traces left behind by the two of them as they traversed through the mountain forest.

An hour after the two of them left, the two corpses on the ground were burnt beyond recognition, but the rising smoke still attracted the attention of the other people in Tuo Wu Shan.
