The second elder did not argue, but nodded with a scornful smile on his face, as if he understood Ning Ping's intentions.
But his expression immediately became serious again.
"The Yun family is no longer as strong as it used to be! I have a strong feeling that a major crisis is about to strike. I am afraid that the Yun family will not survive this crisis."
"What crisis? What do you know?" Ning Ping's heart moved slightly, and he asked calmly.
Unexpectedly, the second elder just shook his head solemnly.
"I don't know either. It's just a hunch, and I firmly believe it!"
"It's the same with Yun Chengwang in your Yun family. If it's a crisis that even your Yun family can't avoid, then naturally I can't either. I know this very well!"
"Why……"
Hearing this, the second elder sighed and looked at Ning Ping deeply.
"Yun Chengwang is not suitable. In times of peace and prosperity, he might be able to control the Yun family with his clever mind, but if he really faces a crisis of life and death, I'm afraid he is not up to it."
"Returning to the Yun family is impossible. Second Elder, please don't mention this matter again! I just want to cultivate well on my own. As long as the Yun family doesn't provoke me in the future, that's all that matters!"
Ning Ping doesn't care about the life or death of his Yun family. Even if a catastrophe comes a thousand years later, his Yun family will naturally be dragged into it. I'm afraid no one will be able to stay out of it by then.
"Provoke you? What? Do you still think you can compete with the entire Yun family by yourself?" The second elder sneered.
"We'll know whether we can compete or not when the time comes! You also know that I'm not someone who gives in easily!"
"Well! Very good. From now on, I will not interfere in matters between the Yun family and you! But you have to be careful of the Great Elder. He is not a forgiving person."
Seeing that Ning Ping wanted to say something, the second elder raised his hand to stop him, and then continued to talk about some internal situations of the Yun family.
"Great Elder Yun Gan has basically taken control of the Yun family. He may not take action against you right now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Because of your talent, your existence will always be a hidden danger."
"The current Patriarch, Yun Hongzhuo, is doomed. He and Yun Gan used to compete for the position of Patriarch, but unfortunately, Yun Hongzhuo surpasses the Great Elder in both intelligence and talent."
"Yun Gan has always been brooding over this!"
"However, there are gains and losses. Under the entanglement of many mundane affairs, Yun Hongzhuo's personal cultivation has fallen far behind. Now, he is already unable to fight against the Great Elder even though he has the will."
"In our world of cultivation, personal strength is ultimately everything. He is now eager to break through the fusion stage."
"Hmph. So even if Yun Chengwang wins the position of Patriarch, he's ultimately just a puppet! How can such a character lead the Yun Family to prosperity?"
After saying this, the second elder still showed disdain on his face.
"So, I want you to return to the Yun family. You are much more suitable to be the head of the family than that kid."
Ning Ping looked at the Second Elder in surprise. He never expected that the Second Elder would reveal some of his inner secrets even though he knew that he didn't want to return to the Yun family.
"Don't they have a supreme elder backing them up?" Ning Ping couldn't help but say, that was the real foundation of the Yun family.
The second elder looked at the other party with some surprise, then smiled faintly.
"It seems you know a lot! But you underestimate the state of mind of a Mahayana cultivator. Fighting for power and profit is not as practical for him as practicing in seclusion.
"The Grand Elder doesn't care who holds power. He only cares about the continued existence of the Yun Family. If the Yun Family weren't facing a life-or-death situation, he probably wouldn't bother to intervene."
Ning Ping felt secretly relieved when he heard this, but this slight change in his mood was immediately noticed by the Second Elder.
Then, he leaned forward slightly and asked with interest.
"What? You're really confident enough to face my Yun family, kid? Come on, tell me! Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"
Ning Ping's heart suddenly trembled, and his expression remained calm.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, from now on, Ning Ping and the Yun family will have nothing to do with each other!"
A brilliant smile appeared on the second elder's thin face, and he immediately stood up.
"Haha, it's not easy to stay out of the Yun family's way! Life is often beyond our control! Just be yourself! If you change your mind, tell me."
After saying that, without paying any attention to Ning Ping, he changed his body slightly and moved away.
Ning Ping could clearly feel the fluctuations in the other party's body, and his heart moved. The other party's aura was slightly different from before.
It used to be like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and pointed, but now it feels a little rounder.
But this does not mean that the opponent's determination has weakened, but rather that he is more integrated with the world.
It is certain that the other party has reached the fusion stage.
"What do you think the second elder means?" As soon as the man left, Gu Qing could no longer hold back.
"I'm afraid the following words are his true intention. He deliberately revealed some secrets of the Yun family to let me know what I'm facing!"
Ning Ping said solemnly, and now he had a new understanding of the Second Elder.
Gu Qing nodded as if he understood, and sighed.
"The Yun family is really haunting us, coming one after another!"
"Hmph, who cares about them! Just ignore them!"
Gu Qing suddenly remembered something and spoke.
"By the way, there's another person from the Yun family who has come here several times, but I stopped them all. Are you interested in meeting him?"
"Oh? Who is this? I don't think I know many people in the Yun family!"
Having said that, Yun Yuqian's figure also appeared in his mind.
However, the person Gu Qing talked about next was someone else, the person who had been by Yun Yuqian's side at the time.
"Yun Jianian, he used to compete with Yun Chengwang for the position of family head, but now he has been suppressed. Do you want to meet him?"
"Yun Jianian..." Ning Ping raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said decisively: "No!"
…………
The auction will be held in the middle of the year, and tomorrow will be the official start time.
The entire Wanling City was bustling with activity as never before, and rumors of the three super-grade elixirs that were about to be auctioned were a hot topic.
The Gu family also spread rumors that several mysterious elixirs would also appear at the auction.
There is no doubt that this mysterious elixir is also directly connected to the mysterious alchemy master Ning Ping.
Many people also speculated what kind of medicine this mysterious medicine was. Since it was regarded as the finale, it must be extremely precious.
Although most of the monks have no hope of obtaining it, being able to witness the auction is an eye-opener and will give them something to brag about in the future.
The Heaven-Covering Pill that once appeared on Qinglan Star would appear at the auction and spread inadvertently.
