"Counting the treasure house?"

The monks were stunned, and then looked embarrassed.

"Sir, this... treasury is a key location of Baotianyuan. Only the Supreme Duobao can open it. Look..."

"Only Duobao Supreme can open it?"

Meng Ning pretended to be displeased.

"That old bald donkey Duobao is dead. Can we let the dead open it?"

"He's almost disbanding the Baotianyuan, what's the point of sticking to these crappy rules?"

"I tell you, from today on, I am Duobao of Baotianyuan. I am the new supreme of Baotianyuan!"

"My rules are rules!"

Meng Ning's voice was loud and clear, with unquestionable authority.

"Yes, yes, sir, you are right!"

The monks were intimidated by Meng Ning's aura and nodded in agreement.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Lead the way!"

Meng Ning urged.

"Yes, sir, this way please!"

Several clever monks hurriedly led the way and led Meng Ning towards the treasure house of Baolian Temple.

The treasure house is located on the back hill of Po Lin Monastery, and there is an inconspicuous stone house at the entrance.

In front of the stone house, two old monks were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, like two stone sculptures.

"My two uncles, this is Master Meng Ning. Following the will of Supreme Duobao, I have come to take inventory of the treasure house."

A monk stepped forward and spoke respectfully to the two old monks.

The two old monks slowly opened their eyes and their cloudy eyes swept over Meng Ning.

"The last will of Supreme Duobao?"

One of the old monks asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, Duobao Duobao Supreme passed away during the Thousand Lantern Festival. Before his death, he passed the position of Duobao Supreme to his disciple, Master Meng Ning."

The clever monk quickly replied.

"Oh? What's the proof?"

Another old monk asked.

"this…"

The monk was speechless for a moment. Where did he have any proof?

Duobao died suddenly and left no last words.

"Proof? Are you two old and confused? Can't you recognize this? My fist is the proof!"

Meng Ning took a step forward and said coldly.

"If you two uncles feel that it is inappropriate, you can try to see if this fist is hard enough!"

The two old monks looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

"Forget it, forget it. Since this is the will of Supreme Duobao, we should obey it."

An old monk sighed.

"Master Meng Ning, please come in."

Another old monk made way.

Meng Ning walked into the stone house with swagger.

Inside the stone house is a deep corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, there is an oil lamp every few steps, emitting a dim light.

Meng Ning followed several monks and walked along the corridor for a long time, and finally came to a heavy stone door.

The stone gate was engraved with dense runes, emitting a faint spiritual light.

"My lord, this is the entrance to the treasure house."

A monk pointed at the stone gate and said.

"Two uncles, please open the treasure house."

The two old monks walked up to the stone gate, each stretched out a hand and pressed on a groove on the stone gate.

They were muttering something, and streams of spiritual energy were pouring out of their bodies and into the stone gate.

The runes on the stone gate gradually lit up, emitting dazzling light.

After a moment, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a huge space.

There are countless shelves in the space, and the shelves are filled with various treasures.

There are magical instruments, elixirs, spirit stones, secret manuals of martial arts, etc., a wide variety of items are available.

Meng Ning was dazzled and excited.

"I'm rich! I'm really rich now!"

He sighed inwardly.

"Sir, these are the treasures that Baotianyuan has accumulated over thousands of years. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Another monk asked flatteringly.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!"

Meng Ning nodded repeatedly.

"However, it would be a waste to keep these treasures here. It would be better to take them out and arm our disciples of Baotian Academy to improve our strength."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The monks all agreed.

"You all agree, haha, great!"

Meng Ning waved his hand and took all the magic weapons into his pocket.

He was thinking about how to make the most of these treasures.

Start with the treasury and firmly control the resources in Baotianyuan Yangzhou City in your own hands.

Then, use these resources to cultivate a group of confidants who are loyal to you.

When the time is right, you can take over the Yangzhou City branch of Baotianyuan in one fell swoop and become the real person in power!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed like a white horse.

Relying on his extraordinary means, Meng Ning quickly rose to prominence in the Yangzhou City branch of Baotian Temple. He distributed the resources of the treasury to many loyal monks and cultivated a group of confidants.

Those who opposed him were ruthlessly expelled by him, and the cruelty of his methods was shocking.

Today, the Yangzhou branch of Baotian Academy is obviously Meng Ning's world!

However, the good times did not last long.

The news of Duobao's death spread to the Baotianyuan headquarters like a plague. Those high-ranking old guys were furious and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.

For a time, there was panic and the Yangzhou branch of Baotianyuan was shrouded in a dark cloud.

"Meng Ning, do you admit your guilt?"

The messenger sent from the headquarters, an old monk with a haggard face, asked in a stern voice.

Meng Ning sneered in his heart but pretended to be terrified on his face.

"My Lord Envoy, this is unjust! The death of Supreme Duobao has nothing to do with me!"

"Nothing to do? Humph! At that time, all the Dharma seekers in Dayan saw you killing Duobao! And you still say it has nothing to do?" The old monk pressed on.

"Mr. Envoy, this is slander!"

Meng Ning pretended to be aggrieved.

"They are slandering us, and they are jealous of the new powerful Supreme in our Baotian Academy.

They just want to use such despicable means to weaken our combat effectiveness.

Master Duobao has passed away. Do you understand what it means to pass away?

It's a happy funeral! Besides, before he died, he passed the throne to me. If you don't believe me, ask them!"

Meng Ning pointed at the monks behind him, and those trusted aides he had promoted immediately stood up and spoke in unison to defend him.

"Yes, Master Envoy, Supreme Duobao has indeed passed the throne to Master Meng Ning!"

"Lord Meng Ning is a genius, and is the best successor to Duobao Supreme!"

"Mr. Envoy, you must be more observant!"

The old monk was dizzy from the noise. He looked around and found that all the monks of the Yangzhou branch of Baotian Temple followed Meng Ning's lead.

He was secretly shocked. It seemed that Meng Ning had already taken root here in such a short period of time. It might not be easy to move against him.

What's more, Baotianyuan is currently in a turbulent period.

Since the last defeat in Yangzhou City, Jiujiemen has become more and more ambitious and has begun to annex Baotianyuan.

In just a few months, the fight between the two sects became increasingly fierce, and Baotianyuan was in need of manpower.

If we get rid of Meng Ning now, it might cause turmoil in the Yangzhou branch of Baotian Academy, which would not be worth the cost.

Thinking of this, the old monk's tone softened: "Forget it, since Duobao is dead, let's just leave it at that.

Meng Ning, you are taking over Duobao's position. I hope you will take good care of yourself and don't let down the expectations of Baotianyuan headquarters!"

"Don't worry, envoy. I will do my best until my death!"

Meng Ning said this with great confidence, but he was secretly proud of himself.

Old man, you’ve got to know your place!

Otherwise, I will kill you with my sword today!

In this way, Meng Ning survived the crisis safely and naturally became the person in charge of the Yangzhou branch of Baotianyuan.

At the same time, the system released the task of "life" among the "Eight Sufferings". Meng Ning completed the task and his ability was further improved.

The Jiujie Sect also began to make plans against Baotianyuan, intending to annex Baotianyuan.

The war between Baotianyuan and Jiujiemen has begun!

Three years passed quickly. Meng Ning completed the two tasks of "old age" and "illness". His strength improved by leaps and bounds. In the world of seeking the Dharma, no one could rival him.

In this protracted war, Meng Ning was like a fish in water, and was able to gain the best of both worlds.

He secretly annexed the countless magical weapons accumulated by Baotianyuan and raised his own strength to a terrifying level.

In the end, he even secretly assisted Jiujiemen and completely annexed Baotianyuan, which was left with only an empty shell!

Afterwards, Meng Ning naturally entered the Nine Realms Gate and began a new journey.
