Chapter 12 Self-knowledge
"Grandpa, Mr. Hua left a pill, saying that yes... it can make you live ten more years." Nie Tian handed the dark green pill to Nie Donghai.
"Ah!" Nie Xi was immediately excited. She hurriedly turned around and tried to chase Hua Mu to thank him.
But Hua Mu has long disappeared.
"The pill that will make me live for ten years more!" Nie Donghai was also excited. He took the pill from Nie Tian's hand and sniffed a deep breath of the strong fragrance of medicine. "If it is true, the value of this pill alone is far greater than the reward we paid him!"
"Why did Mr. Hua do business at a loss? Who is he?" Nie Xi said in surprise and joy.
"He said..." Nie Tian hesitated for a moment and weaved a kind lie, "He said he is destined to be with me."
"Is there any fate?" Nie Donghai frowned slightly, "I feel a little strange. You keep it here, I will go to the city to find him. No matter what, I will thank you in person. He is too loving to our grandfather and grandson."
After saying that, Nie Donghai took the pill and left first.
Unfortunately, he searched in Heiyun City for two days, but he did not find any trace of Hua Mu. Hua Mu arrived quietly and disappeared suddenly, just like when he came.
Nie Donghai, who was full of suspicion, observed for a few days and found that Nie Tian did not have a sudden high fever again. He believed in his heart that Hua Mu had no malice.
He also believed that Hua Mu was not trying to harm him by leaving the pill.
So he took the strange dan medicine that he could not name, so he felt that his energy had indeed improved a lot.
For a period of time afterwards, whenever Nie Tian practiced with Qi Refining Art, he clearly felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in his body did not continue to spread over the flesh and blood, limbs and bones.
It seemed that his strong body had absorbed enough strength and no longer needed additional growth nutrients.
Three months later, Nie Tian’s stagnation for a long time finally broke through successfully, and he advanced from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
At this time, Nie Tian is about to celebrate his eleventh birthday.
In order to avoid making it difficult for my grandfather to do, Nie Tian never went to the square to practice early in the morning, nor did he cause trouble again.
Most of the time, he practices hard in his room, occasionally walking around Heiyun City with his aunt Nie Xi.
That morning, while he was practicing in the morning, he suddenly heard a huge noise coming from the square.
The noise became louder and louder, and he was so unintentional to practice, which made him unable to bear it and walked towards the square.
As he approached, he saw many Nie family elders gathered in the square. Every Nie family elder was full of red faces, as happy and excited as if they were during the New Year.
Wu Tao, who was responsible for teaching the children of the Nie family, also had a smile from the bottom of his heart on his face, and kept repeating a sentence: "Nie Xian successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi training!"
"Fourteen years old! Ninth level of Qi Refining!" Nie Tian was also shocked and was secretly happy for Nie Xian.
He and Nie Xian were not familiar with him, but when he fought with Nie Hong and Nie Yuan many times, Nie Xian said justice. Unlike other Nie family members, they just blindly protected Nie Hong and Nie Yuan.
Because of this, although he and Nie Xian were not familiar with each other, he had a good impression of Nie Xian in private.
Now that he saw Nie Xian successfully stepping into the ninth level of Qi Refining when he was fourteen years old, he was sincerely happy for Nie Xian.
He knew very well that the entire Nie family's sons could enter the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of fifteen and had to go to Lingyun Sect to practice, and were outstanding elites.
Nie Hong's two brothers, Nie Han and Nie Tai, have shown extraordinary talents since childhood and have gained a lot at the lottery conference.
But Nie Tai did not enter the ninth level of Qi refining when he was fifteen years old, so he was rejected by Lingyun Sect.
Only his elder brother Nie Han, who succeeded in breaking through to the ninth level at the fifteenth hour and was able to become a disciple of Lingyun Sect.
It is rumored that Nie Han, who has been in Lingyun Sect for several years, seems to be doing well, and some people in Lingyun Sect are optimistic about him.
Nie Beichuan was able to receive support from many clan elders in the Nie family and naturally took up the position of head of the family. In addition to Nie Donghai's injury regressing, Nie Han... also occupied a big factor.
"Okay! Very good!" Nie Beichuan stood in the crowd, looked at Nie Xian with admiration, and said loudly: "I said that since I have sat in this position, I will do my best to the family and regain the power of the Nie family! Nie Xian's smooth breakthrough and becoming a disciple of Lingyun Sect is a sign of the prosperity of our Nie family!"
"Haha, it's all thanks to the head of the family!"
"As soon as my brother got to power, Nie Xian broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. It is clear that you are promoting our Nie family!"
"The Nie family is in your hands and will definitely be better than the other, and will overwhelm the Yun family and An family in the near future!"
“…”
Many members of the Nie family were smiling and congratulating, as if Nie Xian could step into the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it was really Nie Beichuan's contribution.
As the protagonist, Nie Xian was naturally surrounded by everyone to congratulate him, but he looked calm and just thanked him politely, and did not seem particularly excited.
"Nie Xian, although yours is a branch of the Nie family, because of your strength, from now on, your mother and sister will be moved into the Nie family mansion. You just need to practice with peace of mind in Lingyun Sect. If you don't have to worry about other things, I will arrange them." Nie Beichuan won people and said to him.
Nie Xian had only one mother and sister. Because he was a side branch and a woman and a child, he was not qualified to enter the Nie family mansion.
"Thank you, the head of the family." Nie Xian said softly.
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve." Nie Beichuan smiled, "I have already broken through you to the ninth level of Qi Refining and informed Lingyun Sect of Lingyun Sect. In the afternoon, your elder brother Nie Han will bring you from Lingyun Sect to Lingyun Sect and pick you up to Lingyun Sect. When you go to Lingyun Sect, you just need to follow Nie Han, and he has arranged everything."
"I understand." Nie Xian nodded.
In a corner of the square, Nie Tian stood alone, looking at Nie Xian who was holding the moon with the stars and Nie Beichuan who was full of ambition.
"The Ninth Level of Qi Refining! One day, I will be taken to the mountain by Lingyun Sect!" Nie Tian made up his mind.
"Why are you out?" Nie Qian came quietly and said softly: "It has nothing to do with you. If you want to enter Lingyun Sect, you must work harder. You are almost 11th. Although you have made a breakthrough recently, it is still only at the fourth level. You can't waste too much time on irrelevant things."
"Auntie, I will come from behind." Nie Tian was full of confidence.
"Just be confident." Nie Xi smiled, "You are in a mess, and the Nie family will be very lively today. If we are not welcome, don't stay at home and get in the way. Let's go and stroll around the city with our aunt."
"Okay." Nie Tian said obediently.
Afterwards, he followed Nie Xi out of the Nie family, first had lunch at a restaurant in Heiyun City, and then accompanied Nie Xi in the city's largest jewelry store in the afternoon and picked a few jewelry.
"Ye, isn't this the eldest lady of the Nie family who was divorced by my Zhiguo?"
Just as Nie Tian and Nie Xi walked out of the jewelry store, a sarcastic female voice suddenly rang out of time.
Nie Tian keenly realized that his aunt Nie Xi suddenly trembled when she heard the sound.
He looked in the voice and found a man and a woman, with a boy about the same age as him, slowly coming, obviously planning to go to the jewelry store to buy jewelry.
The man was dressed in white, with a gentle face, and looked quite handsome.
The woman's hair was tied up and wearing a tailored green dress, she looked as beautiful as a flower and looked graceful.
The boy held by the couple seems to have gathered the advantages of both parents and was handsome and outstanding at a young age.
When the man saw Nie Xi, he looked ashamed and pulled the woman away.
"What's the hurry?" The woman glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, "What's wrong? Is there still a love affair?"
"Don't talk nonsense." The man hurriedly defended.
"I don't know you're afraid!" The woman snorted, then looked at Nie Qian, and said, "Miss Nie, I heard that your father lost his position as the head of the family. Why do you have the remaining money to visit Lingbao Pavilion? Haha, what expensive jewelry have you picked? Can you show me to my younger sister?"
"Auntie, are they?" Nie Tian said in a angrily voice.
He is not young now. Even though Nie Donghai and Nie Xi have never said it, he has heard a lot of rumors about his aunt Nie Xi from other tribesmen and learned the whole story.
The Yun family, like the Nie family and the An family, are also a big family in Heiyun City. The Yun family and the Nie family had a good relationship in the past.
It is because of this that the two families married for common interests, and Nie Xi and Yun Zhiguo of the Yun family became husband and wife.
However, the good times did not last long. Yun Zhiguo met Yuan Qiuying while traveling abroad.
Yuan Qiuying is the daughter of the head of the Yuan family in Hanshi City. The Yuan family is the most powerful family in Hanshi City, and is much stronger than the Nie family.
Under Yuan Qiuying's active courtship and the secret push of the Yun family, Yuan Qiuying eventually became Yun Zhiguo's wife.
Yun Zhiguo's original wife Nie Qian was found by the Yun family for a false reason and gave her ruthless rest.
This is a great humiliation of the Nie family. Nie Donghai was furious to break into the Yun family for this matter, but was seriously injured by the strong men of the Yun family and Yuan family, and he never recovered from then on.
The Yun family and the Yuan family are supported by powerful Qi Refiners. Even Lingyun Sect is unwilling to make a big fight for the Nie family, and in the end it will be left alone.
Yuan Qiuying, who successfully squeezed Nie Xi away, was always worried about Yun Zhiguo and her past. Every time she met Nie Xi, she would mock her in every way and never say a good thing.
"Ignore them, let's go." Nie Xi grabbed Nie Tian's arm and pulled him, trying to avoid Yuan Qiuying.
"I won't leave!" Nie Tian stood there like an iron spear.
