The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 817 Sun Zhengjun Begins His Training

The capital of Great Zhou.

There were frequent good news from the front line, and the whole Zhou Kingdom was in an uproar. Sun Erleng captured eight cities in a row, Ren Bin captured four cities in a row, and even the eldest prince captured three cities in a row.

The war between Zhou and Song lasted only more than half a year, and the Zhou Dynasty captured twenty-one cities of the Song State, including the important city of Kuiyuan.

At Sun Erleng’s residence in the capital.

Sun Zhengjun was meditating and absorbing the crystal beads. He was now seventeen years old and had grown into a handsome young man.

Sun Erleng did not take him with him on this expedition, and he made a fuss for a while. But soon he was taken away by someone, and outside he received guidance from Li Jingnan and began to practice Taoism.

Li Jingnan, who is at the fifth level of Nascent Soul, is the eldest son of Li Chu. Li Chu has four sons in total: the eldest son Li Jingnan, the second son Li Jingmu, the third son Li Jingtian, and the youngest son Li Jingchao.

The four sons are now the people who hold real power in the Zhong family. They have followed Qian'er over the years and helped her a lot.

Pan Chengfeng asked Qian'er to find a monk to teach Sun Zhengjun first. Qian'er thought about it and decided to find someone she could trust, so she thought of Li Chu's four sons.

All four of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage, but the eldest, Li Jingnan, had the highest level and was a steady person, so Qian'er decided to let him be Sun Zhengjun's enlightenment teacher.

Sun Erleng's residence.

The crystal bead in Sun Zhengjun's hand slowly turned gray, and he opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his still childish face as he said, "Ah~ Cultivating immortals is too boring. I'm already at the fifth level of Qi training, and all I do all day is sit and absorb crystal beads. I think the body training technique is more interesting~"

Just as he was muttering, a white light flashed in front of him, and a young cultivator appeared in front of him, praising him: "Not bad, you have mastered the basics of Qi training in one month, and you have mastered the fifth level of Qi training in three years."

"Teacher!" Sun Zhengjun was overjoyed and bowed quickly, saying, "Teacher, you haven't come to see me for several months. I thought you had forgotten me~"

Li Jingnan chuckled and said, "How could that be possible? I just have too many things to do and can't spare the time~"

Sun Zhengjun complained: "With you away, I have many questions but no one to ask. Look at these places in the exercises..."

Sun Zhengjun took out the martial arts he had learned and asked several questions that had been bothering him for a long time. Li Jingnan explained them in detail one by one, and Sun Zhengjun listened very carefully.

Li Jingnan was instructing Sun Zhengjun on his next practice. Two beautiful women also came to Sun Zhengjun's yard. One was Sun Erleng's wife, Wei Mingwan. The other was even more beautiful than Wei Mingwan. She was Qi Hong's wife, Ji Zeng.

Ji Zeng didn't know anyone in Da Zhou, and Qi Hong was afraid that she would be too bored, so he asked her to come to Sun Erleng's house to chat with Wei Mingwan in her free time.

When Wei Mingwan saw Li Jingnan, she quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Li." Although Ji Zeng was surprised and didn't know why Wei Mingwan would bow to a "Mr.", he still followed Wei Mingwan in bowing.

Li Jingnan smiled and said, "Madam is here, and I have something to tell you~"

Wei Mingwan smiled and said, "Sir, just tell me what you want to do, and I will do it~"

Li Jingnan glanced at Ji Zeng, then waved to Wei Mingwan. Wei Mingwan came to Li Jingnan in confusion. Li Jingnan waved his hand and cast a ban, saying, "Jun'er is already seventeen years old. According to Master Pan's arrangement, he should have been sent to the Red Mountains for training long ago~"

Although Wei Mingwan was mentally prepared, she still found it hard to accept that her son was going to such a dangerous place for training, and she immediately wanted to delay it for another two years.

Although Ji Zeng saw Wei Mingwan talking excitedly, he could not hear a single sound.

Finally, Li Jingnan said, "Madam, this is Master Pan's arrangement. I will give you three more days. Remember, don't bring any dry food or clothes for Jun'er."

After Li Jingnan finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash, and Ji Zeng was completely stunned.

Seeing that the teacher had left without even saying hello to him, Sun Zhengjun stepped forward and asked, "Mom, what did the teacher say to you? Why do you look so worried?"

Wei Mingwan reached out and stroked Sun Zhengjun's face and said, "Mr. Li said he would take you to gain experience..." She almost cried as she spoke.

On the contrary, Sun Zhengjun was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Great! I can finally go and gain experience! I've been waiting for a long time! Mother, why are you worried? I will be fine~"

Time flies and three days pass in the blink of an eye.

Li Jingnan also came on time to take Sun Zhengjun away.

He flew with Sun Zhengjun for half a month before arriving at the eastern border of the Great Zhou, on the outskirts of the Red Mountains.

After arriving here, Li Jingnan did not dare to be careless and took Sun Zhengjun to the ground and walked on foot.

While walking, he explained to Sun Zhengjun some things that need to be paid attention to in the Red Mountains.

Li Jingnan said: "You are now in the middle stage of the first level of body training, and your cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi training. It is no problem for you to hunt some first-level monsters here.

Don't use your cultivation skills here unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise it will only attract more monsters."

Sun Zhengjun nodded as he listened, and only asked after Li Jingnan finished speaking, "Then can I go hunt a second-level monster?"

Li Jingnan was stunned. Looking at the 1.9-meter-tall student with a childish face, he thought to himself, "As expected of someone chosen by Master Pan, few can match his courage."

Not to mention ordinary people, even Li Jingnan himself, facing a fourth-order monster, could only run away. However, the Qi-training boy in front of him actually wanted to hunt down a second-order monster by crossing levels.

Li Jingnan coughed and said, "Of course you can, but with your current strength, if you encounter a second-level monster, you'd better turn around and run away, otherwise you'll become someone else's snack."

Sun Zhengjun scratched his head and smiled foolishly. Li Jingnan handed him a ring and said, "This is what Master Pan prepared for you~"

Sun Zhengjun took it and looked at it for a long time. He didn't know what the ring was for, so he asked, "What do you want this ring for, my student?"

Li Jingnan then remembered that he had not yet taught him how to use the storage magic weapon, so he started teaching him again.

But this is very simple. Sun Zhengjun learned it in half a minute. Just like Pan Chengfeng at the beginning, as soon as he learned how to use the storage magic weapon, he started to take things in and out and had a lot of fun.

Li Jingnan explained: "Inside are some daily necessities and a top-grade magic dagger, all prepared for you by Master Pan.

That dagger can easily tear through the defense of a third-level monster, so use it with caution."

Sun Zhengjun quickly picked up the dagger and checked it, saying with a smile: "With this dagger, I really am not afraid of anything~"

Li Jingnan added: "The dagger is for you to use when you are in danger. You still have to rely on physical training in normal combat."

Li Jingnan stopped and said, "Okay, I will take you here, and the rest is up to you.

There is a book about monsters in the storage ring, as well as elixirs needed for the advancement of body refiners. Take a good look at them and collect as many as you can."

Sun Zhengjun nodded happily and said, "Student understands~" Li Jingnan nodded and disappeared, leaving behind one sentence: "Be careful, I will come to see you once a year, and I will not leave until you advance to the second level of body refining."

Sun Zhengjun waved his hand and shouted, "Teacher, don't worry! Tell Master for me that I miss him so much~"

Sun Zhengjun waited for a while, and when he saw that the teacher had really left, his true colors were immediately revealed. He laughed and said, "I am finally free!!! Haha~~~"

After laughing for a while, Sun Zhengjun began to think, and said to himself, "I have no experience living here, but it's definitely right to find a place to stay first, and then food and water. Hmm~ Let's find a place with water nearby~"

After thinking about it, Sun Zhengjun immediately started running, and his speed reached 40 kilometers per hour - this speed was exactly the same as that of his master Pan Chengfeng.

In the distance, the hidden Li Jingnan was also surprised and asked: "Can a physical practitioner have such speed at this time?

At this speed, as long as we don't run into a third-level monster, there will be no danger. But I still can't be careless, this is Master Pan's favorite apprentice, I still have to take good care of him. "
