Chapter 146： Soul-fixing beads, breakthrough and perfection

Chapter 146 Soul-fixing Pearl, a perfect breakthrough

Jiang Hongguang was very happy when he heard that Chu Ning agreed.

At his kind invitation, Chu Ning went to his cave as a guest for half a day before leaving Feihong Island.

As for Jiang Hongguang and others, because of Chu Ning's joining, they will no longer go to Thousand Fantasy Island for the time being.

The two parties agreed to meet at the Thousand Fantasy Island Dojo ten days later.

After Chu Ning left, Jiang Lan immediately said:

“Brother, although this Chu Ning seems to be at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he looks a few years younger than me.

I don’t know if he has the ability. Is it really useful to invite him to join? "

When Jiang Hongguang heard this, he immediately glared at Jiang Lan and said:

“How many times have I told you, you can’t judge a book by its appearance.

I think that although this fellow Taoist Chu is young, he has a quite calm temperament. I think he must have experienced things.

It is different from people like you who have been cultivating on the island since childhood. "

Hearing Jiang Hongguang’s words, Jiang Lan said rather unconvinced:

“Huh, who are you looking down on? When the time comes, someone will come to us to challenge us. We may not know who is better.”

Hearing Jiang Lan’s words, Jiang Hongguang shook his head helplessly.

Yu Yuanxiu, who was on the side, answered at this moment:

“Xiao Lan, your brother invited this fellow Daoist Chu to join us just in case.

After all, this fellow Daoist Chu has reached the eighth level of Qi refining at a young age. With him here, it will be helpful for other people who want to challenge us.

It is also an invisible deterrent, which is more effective than having an additional monk at the seventh level of Qi refining. "

After Jiang Hongguang heard this, he immediately smiled and said:

“Look, your sister-in-law still understands me.

I am also planning for a rainy day, but we have a second-level spiritual vein matter here, and the news has been kept very secret.

Supposedly, no one outside should know about it. I hope no one will jump out and interfere in the end.

In this way, we can cultivate here with peace of mind for a few more years. "

…

While the three people on Feihong Island were discussing, Chu Ning had already returned to Qianhuan Island.

Since he has already found the island to join, Chu Ning naturally does not need to go to the dojo anymore.

So, he continued to go to the place where scattered cultivators gathered.

The Thousand Islands Competition is about to begin. The popularity here has obviously become much more popular recently, and there are many more people buying and trading.

Chun Ning naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to make money.

He even took out two low-level and intermediate-level talismans, and one of them was quickly bought.

But there is another one, but no one cares about it for the time being.

At noon, Chu Ning closed the stall and prepared to go directly back to the stone room of the inn.

After walking a few steps, Chu Ning's eyes suddenly fell on an item in front of a casual cultivator.

A jet black bead.

“Soul-fixing Pearl?”

Chun Ning showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then quickly calmed down his expression and walked to the stall pretending to be nonchalant.

Behind the stall, a tall and thin monk in his thirties was standing.

When he saw Chu Ning coming to the stall, he didn't say hello and just let Chu Ning watch on his own.

Chu Ning picked up two or three magic weapons with great interest, all of which were mid-level magic weapons. After asking about the price, he shook his head and put them down.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are many casual cultivators here, or because there is no big sect.

The price of the mid-level magical artifacts sold here is actually seven to eight hundred spirit stones, which is much more expensive than the magical artifacts bought near the Qingxia Mountains in Chuning.

At this time, he picked up the black bead with some curiosity.

The feeling of getting it was very familiar to Chu Ning, and he immediately scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

This bead is actually exactly the same as the soul-fixing bead he bought from Fengxiafang for 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

Recalling the introduction by the female cultivator in the previous chapter, this bead should be one of the magical artifacts.

At this moment, Chu Ning casually asked:

“Fellow Taoist, what are these beads used for?”

“I don’t know!” The tall and thin monk was obviously not very patient after Chu Ning asked multiple magic weapons in succession if he wanted to buy them.

"Obtained from others accidentally, no special effect found."

Chuning listened and smiled secretly in his heart.

To use this bead, you must be able to use your spiritual consciousness externally.

The other party, an ordinary monk in the Qi Refining Stage, would naturally not be able to discover the mystery.

“How many spiritual stones does this pearl cost?” Chu Ning asked.

“Ten spiritual stones, take them if you want them.”

The next moment, the tall and thin man's words made Chu Ning open his mouth.

The tall and thin man saw Chu Ning's expression and thought that Chu Ning thought the price was high.

He frowned slightly and continued:

“Although this bead is of little use, its texture is still good and very hard. It is also good for decoration.

10 spiritual stones are not very expensive, so if you want, 8 spiritual stones will do. "

When Chu Ning heard this, he thought he had made a lot of money.

But at this moment, he still hesitated and said:

“That’s it, 8 spiritual stones are fine too.”

With that said, Chu Ning put the beads directly into the storage bag, and then handed the 8 spirit stones to the other party.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ning asked again:

"Fellow Taoist, do you still have these beads? If I want to use them for decoration, a pair would be better."

“No more.” The tall and thin monk quickly took the spirit stone, as if he was afraid that Chu Ning would regret it.

When Chu Ning heard what the other party said, he turned around and left without saying much.

After Chu Ning walked away, the tall and thin monk showed a happy smile on his face and said softly:

“I didn’t expect that a bead randomly obtained by the Shuiyun Island Lake could be sold for 8 spiritual stones.

If I had known better, I would have looked more to see if there were any beads like this. "

Chun Ning, who had already walked far away, kept walking, but he was already muttering secretly in his heart.

“Shuiyun Island!”

With the strength of his consciousness at this moment, he naturally listened to the words of the tall, thin, middle-aged monk word for word.

Chuning remembered these words in his heart, and then returned to the stone room of the inn with a normal expression.

Didn't start practicing immediately, Chu Ning now had a jade slip in his hand.

It is the Yanhuo Shenmu Kung Fu that was brought out from the sect.

“The peak state of the ninth level of Qi refining has been tempered in the first three months, plus the consolidation in the past 20 days since I came here.

The problem that my realm was somewhat unstable due to using too many elixirs and elixirs no longer exists.

It’s time to break through and reach the perfection of qi refining! "

In fact, Chu Ning was already familiar with the cultivation methods in this jade slip, but at this moment, he still took it out and reviewed it again.

Not only did he carefully read the cultivation techniques for Qi Refining Perfection, but he also did not miss the subsequent foundation-building techniques.

After all, reaching the perfection state of qi refining is actually preparation for the subsequent foundation building.

To build a foundation, monks actually need to meet several conditions.

The first thing is to have a strong body. If you are seriously injured, have a loss of qi and blood, have weak essence and blood, etc., it will be difficult to build the foundation.

So the older the monk, the more difficult it is to build a foundation. Generally, if a monk does not build a foundation before the age of fifty, it will be more difficult later on.

At the age of sixty, if there is no foundation building, there is basically no hope.

The second thing is abundant mana. Mana condensation cannot be achieved without abundant mana.

The third thing is that the spiritual consciousness is powerful. In fact, ordinary cultivation methods also have a certain effect in strengthening the spiritual consciousness, but it is slower.

As a result, Foundation Establishment Pill has become a very popular elixir in the world of immortality cultivation.

One of the great effects of this elixir is that it can strengthen spiritual consciousness and strengthen the body.

˜Remove some hidden injuries and erysipelas impurities left behind by taking elixirs.

On the contrary, it is increasing mana. The effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not that great.

The perfection of Qi refining is an important stage in the transition from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period.

The most important point is to increase the mana and make the mana in the Dantian fully charged.

Chun Ning went through all this information one by one before putting the jade slip into the storage bag.

Handlessly took out a medium-grade spiritual stone.

At the same time, he looked inside to check the mana status in his Dantian.

At this moment, nine mana rings are clearly visible in the dantian.

“The nine mana circles merge into one and turn into a ball, which means we have entered the state of perfect Qi refining…”

Chun Ning thought to himself, then started the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique and started formal practice.

This practice lasted three days.

Chun Ning used three pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones before he opened his eyes in the stone room.

“Perfection in refining qi!”

Chun Ning smiled slightly and jumped up.

His right hand suddenly raised, and three fireballs appeared at the same time.

And as soon as the three fireballs appeared, they merged together instantly.

As Chu Ning waved his wrist, a ball of fire suddenly flew out of the air and hit the wall.

“Bang!”

As a burst sounded, a burst of mana fluctuations echoed in the stone chamber.

Seeing the fusion of three fireballs that had never been completed before being completed so easily, Chu Ning suddenly felt very satisfied.

After reaching the perfection of Qi refining, the control over mana is indeed stronger. At this time, Chu Ning's heart moved and he took out a long gun from his storage bag.

This spear was obtained from the hands of Shang Rui, who was in the realm of perfect Qi refining in the spiritual realm.

The opponent calls it the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, which is a top-notch magical weapon.

Chu Ning had tried it before, but because the wood attribute of this magic weapon could not be activated, he kept it in the storage bag.

When he returned to Qingxi Sect, he was worried that someone in the sect knew that Shang Rui died at his hands.

He didn’t even dare to take it out.

At this moment, holding a spear in his hand, Chu Ning poured mana into his hand.

The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear instantly became hot, and the whole body was condensed with flames.

Chun Ning danced randomly, and suddenly a flame swept out.

Looking at the power, it was much more powerful than Chu Ning's two fireballs just now.

“This top-notch magic weapon is indeed ready for use!”

Chun Ning’s eyes brightened, and he was greatly surprised by its power.

He even had a vague feeling that if he pushed it with all his strength, the movement would be so big that the stone chamber might not be able to cover it up.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning would naturally not try it easily.

Putting away the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, Chu Ning immediately checked it in his storage bag.

He will participate in the Qiandao Competition in a few days, so he will naturally be ready to represent Feihong Island.

In addition to having many talismans in hand to use, it is natural to also have a magic weapon.

The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear is not suitable.

This top-level magic weapon, just like the jet-black knife, will not be used easily until the critical moment.

There is also a blazing bracelet, but he needs to prepare one more. The most important thing is that he has tried this blazing bracelet before.

His Red Flame Talisman is a condensed talisman, and the Red Flame Technique cannot be emitted with the help of this magical weapon.

The same is true for the fireball formed by the Fiery Flame Technique.

The Blazing Bracelet seems to be able to only exert its own attack.

In this case, the function of doubling the fire attribute spells of his Noon Fire Spirit Body will not be able to be used.

What made Chu Ning frown slightly was that none of the high-end magic weapons in his storage bag had fire attributes.

At the beginning, I killed several Yin Demon Sect disciples in the spiritual realm and harvested several high-attribute magic weapons, including earth, wood, metal, and water, but there was no fire-attribute magic weapon.

"Is it possible that we can only use this long knife..." Chu Ning picked up the wooden long knife.

He frowned slightly. It seemed inappropriate to use a more directional spell like Cangmu Sword Jue.

As for the life-saving method of body cultivation, it is even more incompetent.

"Huh!"

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly took out a thorn from his storage bag.

This thing was obtained from killing the effeminate young man during the fierce battle in the Diling Spring Cave.

Because it was a primary magic weapon, Chu Ning had not paid attention to it.

It was then that he suddenly remembered that the feminine young man seemed to be using fire spells.

At this moment, Chu Ning took it out and felt it in his hand.

Sure enough, I discovered that this is a fire-attribute magic weapon.

When Chu Ning tried to activate the Red Flame Technique and the Flame Splitting Technique, he unexpectedly discovered that both of them could be used.

Although it is a primary magic weapon, the increase is not much.

However, the two spells themselves are not weak in power, plus the bonus of Chu Ning Wuhuo Spirit Body.

When superimposed, it is actually stronger than the spell emitted by the blazing bracelet.

“It’s up to you!”

Chun Ning held the thorn and smiled slightly.

After three days of seclusion, Chu Ning came out of the stone room of the inn again.

He went to the casual cultivator place again to sell talismans. At the same time, he also walked around to see if there was any chance of missing something.

Unfortunately, this opportunity to pick up the missing items does not come often, and Chu Ning searched for several days with no results.

It was time for the Thousand Island Competition, and it was coming soon.

This morning, after Chu Ning finished practicing, he walked directly out of the stone room of the inn.

Then he went straight to the dojo in the island.

 Arriving at the high platform formed by Feihong Island, Jiang Hongguang and his wife and his sister Jiang Lan have arrived.

“Several fellow Taoists came very early.”

Chun Ning entered the high platform and saluted several people, who also returned the salute.

It was the way Jiang Lan looked at him that was quite provocative, which made Chu Ning a little surprised.

Jiang Hongguang also saw Jiang Lan's gaze, glared at her immediately, and then said to Chu Ning apologetically:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, please don’t be offended by my sister-in-law’s reckless temper.

This girl, I feel a little dissatisfied when I see that you are so young and have reached the eighth level of Qi refining.

Thinking that if there is a competition in martial arts, your performance will be better than that of Taoist brother, you are really a frog in the well and do not overestimate your own abilities. "

Hearing Jiang Hongguang speak so sincerely, Chu Ning chuckled and said:

“Fellow Taoist Jiang Lan’s worry is not unreasonable. I don’t usually fight with others, so I am indeed weaker in this regard.

If there is really going to be a competition, I would be a little worried. "

Hearing what Chu Ning said, Jiang Lan suddenly looked at Jiang Hongguang proudly.

After Jiang Hongguang heard this, not only did he not look worried, but he showed a meaningful smile.

This made Jiang Lan feel very strange.

Unexpectedly, what Jiang Hongguang was thinking at this moment was, "This fellow Taoist Chu is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining at a young age, but he is so low-key and calm.

From my inference, there must be something extraordinary about it. "

Immediately, Jiang Hongguang started chatting with Chu Ning again.

But among them, most of them were Jiang Hongguang speaking and Chu Ning listening.

When people from other islands appeared, Jiang Hongguang would briefly talk to Chu Ning about their identity and general strength.

It can be regarded as giving Chu Ning a general understanding of the strength of these islands.

Among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, there are about fifty islands with second-level spiritual veins.

However, there are only twenty islands with relatively large second-order spiritual veins.

These twenty islands each have a monk who is in the middle stage of foundation building.

As for the other thirty, they only have monks in the early stage of foundation building at most.

As for the rest of the islands, there are no foundation-building monks. Although those island owners also have some who have completed the Qi Refining and the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But there are also many monks like Jiang Hongguang who are at the eighth level of Qi refining.

So among the thousands of lakes and islands, although there are many monks, the overall strength is indeed not too strong.

At this time, several figures suddenly appeared on the large platform in the front and sat down on the six chairs one after another.

“These six are the leaders of the Thousand Islands Alliance. The position of the main leader of the Thousand Islands Alliance is based on a rotation system.

They are held by the heads of several alliance leader families. They are the apparent controllers of the Thousand Islands Alliance. "

Jiang Hongguang introduced it at this moment.

“However, these people are not necessarily the strongest among each family. It is said that among these families, there are people in the late stage of foundation building.

Therefore, even those islands that rank among the top ten in the mid-term foundation establishment period do not dare to have any evil thoughts about the Thousand Islands Alliance.

There is another saying that the top ten islands are actually inextricably related to these six. "

Hearing Jiang Hongguang's words, Chu Ning felt that this was very likely.

After all, if it were anyone else, he should also find a way to control islands with higher spiritual veins in his own hands.

“It’s Fairy Cen from the Cen family!”

“It’s really Fairy Cen!”

…

At this moment, bursts of noise from below reached Chu Ning’s ears.

The Thousand Island Competition is, after all, a major event in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, so in addition to the island owners of each island, many other monks also came to watch.

This group of people naturally do not need a high platform like the island owners, so they all gather below.

The noise at this moment was coming from these people.

However, the restriction of this high platform can isolate the sound from coming out, but it does not isolate the sound from the outside world from coming in.

Hearing the noise, Chu Ning looked over curiously.

However, I saw that on the large high platform in front of me at this moment, after the six family heads sat down, some more people came out one after another, they seemed to be the descendants of each family.

Behind the person in the middle, there is a woman in white, with a veil covering her face, making it difficult to see her true face.

However, judging from her graceful figure and extraordinary temperament, she does have the charm of a fairy.

“It’s really Fairy Cen!”

At this time, Jiang Lan, who was standing next to Chu Ning, also spoke out.

Even though she is a woman, her eyes are fixed on the woman in white at this moment.

There was a hint of envy in his eyes and tone:

“I heard that Fairy Cen is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has extremely outstanding cultivation talent, and has successfully established a foundation.

Moreover, he has inherited the essence of the Cen family's formations, and his attainments in formations are also the best in the entire Cen family.

Hand is known as the first formation mage of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. "

When Chu Ning heard this, she couldn't help but be a little curious about Fairy Cen.

He couldn't help but ask: "How old is this Fairy Cen?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lan glanced at Chu Ning and said in a complicated tone:

“If the rumors are correct, I am eighteen years old!”
