I can start with eternal life and summon the ancestors of China!

Ping'an Teahouse is a place with good accommodation and good food. The backyard of Ping'an Teahouse was originally an inn, but Ning Zhiyuan found it too noisy and since Ping'an City didn't have many outsiders, he closed the inn.

So the entire backyard was occupied by four people and one dog. It was not crowded at all and not noisy at all. Chen Ning was very satisfied with this.

At this moment, the man and the dog were dividing the loot, each taking a tael. Wow, each of them could get a full fifty taels! Chen Ning had never seen such a huge sum of money before, and his eyes were almost shining! Heizi was also like that, with twenty claws on his hands and feet. He counted all the claws twice, and there were still more. Chen Ning, we are rich!

Heizi looked at Chen Ning with such respect that he had never seen such respect in his eyes before. Chen Ning was almost floating with joy at this respectful look. "Little guy, you are convinced by me now!"

Wang!

I give up. I will never compete with you for the position of boss again!

Chen Ning was about to say something else when suddenly his entire body erupted in a rumbling sound, as if some shackles within his body had been broken. He felt incredibly relaxed, as if his life had been elevated.

"Ding! Character: Ying Zheng has entered the Golden Core Realm, so he rewards the host with Qi training. Ying Zheng created his own training method: The Beginning Dragon Technique!"

"It's finally here, it's finally here, damn, I've been waiting for a hundred and two years!"

Chen Ning was so excited at this moment that he couldn't control himself. After waiting for more than a hundred years, he could finally take the first step in cultivating immortals.

"Lao Hei! Open the altar and offer sacrifices to the heavens! Today is our big day!"

Although Heizi and Chen Ning often quarreled, when it came to offering sacrifices to the heavens, Heizi was a firm believer. When Heizi was fifty-one, he suddenly developed a fever, heat, and stomachache for three days and three nights. Heizi almost thought he couldn't make it, and with tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning said nothing and worked overnight to make a sandalwood incense burner, a bronze token, and a sandalwood flag. The incense burner was in the middle, with the token and flag on the left and right.

"To all the ancestors of the Chinese nation, I, the descendant Chen Ning, bow down before you. I hope that the ancestors will show their spirit and bless my descendant Chen Ning and Heizi with peace and health."

Heizi still remembers Chen Ning's pious expression. He wondered if the heavenly offerings had truly worked, or if it was just a coincidence. Anyway, ever since Chen Ning's heavenly offerings and ancestral worship, Heizi quickly became lively and energetic again. In Chen Ning's words, worshiping heaven, earth, parents, and ancestors was nothing to be ashamed of. He might not know if the Great Lord of Heaven here was worthy of worship, but his own ancestors were definitely worthy.

Although this was his second Heavenly Sacrifice, Heizi remembered every step clearly. He brought a small table and covered it with a yellow cloth. He then placed the three starched offerings on the table, one by one, in the same exact positions as fifty years earlier.

Chen Ning said in a deep voice: "Lao Hei, it's not enough. Go to the kitchen and get a duck and a pig's head and put it on your account!"

Heizi didn't suspect anything and turned to head for the kitchen. But just as he stepped out of the room, he paused, feeling something was off, but he couldn't place it. Forget it, business was more important. I'll think about it later.

After a while, the three-piece suit was filled with tributes. Judging from the quality and quantity of today's tributes, Heizi's two and a half four toes of silver were really enough.

Chen Ning knelt on the mat, holding incense in both hands with four fingers interlaced, looking at the incense burner with a solemn expression.

"All the ancestors of China are above, and I, the descendant Chen Ning, have come to pay my respects. From today on, I, the descendant Chen Ning, along with Heizi, will officially embark on the path of cultivating immortality. I hope that all the ancestors will bless us with smooth sailing and a bright future!"

After Chen Ning finished his first sentence, he kowtowed respectfully.

"My descendant, Chen Ning, has lived here for a hundred years with Heizi. We have no one to rely on, and can only rely on the blessings of our ancestors."

Chen Ning bowed again, and the black guy behind him also bowed in the same manner.

"All of you ancestors are my supporters. I, Chen Ning, promise that the incense offerings from your ancestors will never be cut off."

After three bows, the incense was placed in the incense burner, and the ceremony was over. I believe that countless ancestors of China also know my sincerity, right? Little did they know that tens of thousands of years later, the ancestors of China would truly become Chen Ning's backers.

When the offering was complete and the sandalwood had burned out, Chen Ning carefully stored away the three-piece offering set. This was their spiritual sustenance. For Chen Ning and Heizi, it was absolutely the most important thing to them.

After collecting all the things, Chen Ning looked at the tributes on the table in front of him with a serious expression.

"Old Black, my Chinese ancestors seem to have eaten their fill. Food is better to eat than to spoil. Let's eat it, shall we?"

Heizi's dark face seemed to have become even darker. He finally remembered that something was wrong here. The whole table full of tributes was all charged to his account!

Woo~~~!!!

Chen Ning panicked, but his expression remained the same: "Look at your little tricks. How could I, your big brother, cheat you? Go get the wine, all you can eat! Put it on my bill!"

Wang!

Heizi's teeth suddenly stopped baring, and his dog face...wasn't so dark anymore. He jumped over and fetched a jar of wine. Chen Ning's face froze. He was too careless. This jar of wine must have weighed at least 40 liang.

Against the backdrop of the waning moon, the man and the dog cast two long shadows, which intertwined with each other, making it impossible to tell whose shadow was whose.

"I drink a pot of wine alone, and the breeze allows me to get a little drunk!"

"Wang!"

"Haha, wrong, wrong, it's not about being alone, it's about drinking from the same pot of wine with Heizi."

"Wang Wang!"

. . . . . .

The next morning, Chen Ning opened his eyes suddenly and started the Dragon Art!

Chen Ning closed his eyes and slowly began to practice the immortal cultivation method created by Ying Zheng: the Beginning Dragon Technique! As Chen Ning practiced the Beginning Dragon Technique, an illusory dragon-shaped energy appeared at his heart meridian, wandering along the path of the Beginning Dragon Technique. After completing a large cycle, Chen Ning could clearly feel his shrunken spiritual energy grow slightly stronger!

Chen Ning didn't know the methods of other immortal cultivators, but he could sense that this Beginning Dragon Technique was definitely extraordinary. Although he had never practiced immortal cultivation before, who could feel significant improvement after just a short practice? Judging by today's terrifying rate of progress, Chen Ning only needed... half a month to break through the first level of Qi training!

Thinking of this, Chen Ning suddenly felt that he had a bright future and was full of energy. He slapped Heizi, who was still sleeping, to wake him up.

Heizi was furious. "Don't think you can disturb my sleep just because you're my big brother!" He immediately bared his teeth and was about to bite.

Chen Ning's expression changed, and his aura burst forth, revealing the majesty of an immortal. His eyes were cold as he glanced at Heizi. "Little Heizi, how dare you be so presumptuous? Today, please call me Immortal!"

After saying that, Chen Ning put two fingers of his right hand together, and a small flame emerged!

Heizi's face was filled with shock: Woof!

Magic!!!
