Chapter 157： Living together in a cave (two-in-one)

Chapter 157 Living together in the cave (two in one)

Flying all the way, more than an hour later, Chu Ning flew into Feihong Island and entered his own cave.

Seeing that Cen Zijin still showed no signs of waking up.

Chun Ning frowned slightly and took out a bottle of elixir from the storage bag.

Then he lifted Cen Zijin’s veil.

Suddenly, an exquisite and beautiful face fell into his sight.

His eyes were closed tightly, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his whole face looked slightly pale.

But even so, Chu Ning couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

It is truly worthy of being called a fairy.

Chuning poured an elixir from the elixir bottle and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.

Coupled with my own auxiliary treatment, it will be a matter of time before I wake up.

"That man's fatal blow was quite severe. I was seriously injured this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to recover within two or three months."

“Fellow Taoist, please heal your injuries first. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask me.”

But Cen Zijin is not awake yet.

In this way, although Chu Ning can rely on the formation to control the jade tablet and forcefully enter, there will still be large movements that can be noticed in the room.

Cen Zijin was naturally very familiar with the formations he had refined, and knew that Chu Ning was activating the restrictions in the stone chamber.

“Fellow Daoist Chu.”

When Chu Ning returned to the cave, he was surprised to find that Fairy Cen had already sat up and was meditating.

With that said, Chu Ning exited the stone chamber and closed the door.

Chuning knew that the other party was probably recovering from his injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to exit.

Hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning was a little surprised, but still nodded and said:

"What are you talking about, fellow Daoist Cen? There are many stone chambers in my cave, so it is naturally convenient."

Chuning also went directly to the medicine garden at the back and took care of it.

“Fellow Daoist Cen has woken up. That’s great. How do you feel now?”

Several great heavenly movements were completed, and Chu Ning’s mana was completely restored.

This elixir was obtained from Shang Rui's storage bag before.

Speaking of this, Cen Zijin paused for a moment, and then continued:

“Originally, I was supposed to go back to my family to cultivate myself when I was better, but due to some special reasons, it’s not convenient to go back now.

Seeing that although Cen Zijin was unconscious, he was still full of vitality.

Chun Ning actually hesitated for a moment just now. After all, he had a lot of secrets.

Seeing this, Cen Zijin’s eyes flashed slightly.

"In that case, I would like to thank you fellow Taoist. I will be in seclusion for the next two days to heal my wounds. I hope you will not disturb me."

At this moment, Cen Zijin, who was already sitting on the bed, had opened his eyes.

However, considering that the other party's request is not excessive, it would be a bit too unkind to refuse it directly.

The next moment, the stone chamber door barred flashed.

Most of the exercises practiced at this level have the effect of automatically functioning after injury.

The veil on her face was no longer worn, directly revealing her beautiful and refined face.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chu Ning said:

I don’t know if it’s convenient for fellow Taoists. If it’s not convenient, I’ll look for another place. "

Although her face is still a little pale, her charming and charming expression is clearly revealed.

Anyway, when we are practicing normally, they don't interfere with each other, and there aren't many secrets.

Then, he took out a few more rejuvenation charms from the storage bag, and after activating them, the spell fell on the opponent.

When Chu Ning saw this, he stopped and entered the stone room.

Chun Ning was also relieved.

Immediately, Chu Ning came to the side and sat down, meditating and regaining his magic power.

This was the first time Chu Ning saw Cen Zijin's smile without a veil.

It made him look at it a few more times.

It melts in your mouth, which saves Chu Ning from having to add water.

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin showed a smile on his face.

At this moment, Chu Ning put the other party on the bed.

Immediately, he took out an elixir from his storage bag, drank it, closed his eyes and practiced healing.

Two consecutive fierce battles today, plus flying all the way, did consume a lot of his mana.

Cen Zijin shook his head with a solemn expression.

Chuning also came to the practice room next door after leaving the stone room.

He had already decorated a few more stone rooms before, but there were still some that were empty, but there were no beds or anything like that.

This night I simply spent one night in the practice room, and the next day I went to the market outside on the island to buy some.

He originally wanted to take a look at the storage bags of the two foundation-building monks, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, it was Cen Zijin who killed the two of them, and it seemed that they were obviously coming for her.

Maybe Cen Zijin wants to find out something from the two people's things.

Before practicing, Chu Ning checked his own cultivation proficiency.

【Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), first level (1304/5000)】

【Nine Yan Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Continuous Tendons 949/1500】

【Refining God, second level 705/2000】

Since the Qingmu Yuanyang Pill is gone, he can only use spiritual stones to practice.

It will take a relatively longer time. After all, no matter how good it is in absorbing the spiritual energy of spiritual stones, it cannot be directly compared to that of elixirs.

First took a golden orchid fruit and completed the practice of Jiuyan Body Refining Technique.

Chun Ning immediately took a middle-grade spiritual stone and began to practice the Flame Fire Divine Wood Technique.

After reaching the perfection of Qi refining, a middle-grade spiritual stone can probably increase the proficiency of Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique by 3 points.

But it also requires a lot of time. Chu Ning usually chooses to use it at night.

During the day, he practiced in the Flame Wood Twin Fruit with the help of the spiritual energy in the spirit fruit.

After practicing the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique, Chu Ning finally practiced the Divine Refining Technique.

This night was spent directly in the practice room.

In the following three days, everything in Chu Ning returned to normal in the cave.

Midway through, he went to Caiwu Island, handed the talisman paper to the people at Cen Workshop, and also bought two sets of bedding.

Naturally, he is not willing to lie down on the floor in the practice room every day.

The people in Nacen's workshop were doing business with Chu Ning normally, and had no idea that the shop owner was in Chu Ning's cave.

In three days, Chu Ning's spiritual plant and elixir also yielded a small harvest.

Having harvested a small batch of the golden orchid fruits that were first planted, the subsequent body refining is naturally guaranteed.

It’s just that the speed of body refining is too slow now.

At the same time, after more than ten days of growth, Chu Ning found that there was nothing abnormal about the normal growth of the Iron Soul Flower.

Thereupon, twenty more seeds were planted in one breath.

Because it is not clear how long the wood essence of this flower can remain in the flower.

Chun Ning did not dare to plant them all at once, but prepared to plant them in batches.

By then, the flowers will wither directly before you can absorb the wood essence inside.

On the fourth day like this, Chu Ning was preparing to go to the medicine garden.

When he opened the stone chamber, he found that the stone chamber next door had also been opened.

When he heard the movement from Chu Ning's side, Cen Zijin, dressed in white, also walked out.

The state looks about the same as before when he was not injured, and there is no longer a veil on his face.

Chu Ning looked around and found that Cen Zijin's face was no longer as pale as the previous two days, but a little more rosy.

When Chu Ning saw this, he asked, "It seems that Brother Cen's injury has improved a lot?"

“It’s considered stable.” Cen Zijin nodded slightly.

"But the injury is more serious than I thought. It will probably take about three months to fully recover."

After Chu Ning heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "As much as you, Daoist Cen, can rest in peace and recuperate, but generally no one comes to Feihong Island.

After the opening of my cave, for three months, no one except the owner of the island, Jiang Daoyou, came to visit. "

There were also three short-lived ghosts, and naturally Chu Ning ignored them.

“Then I’ll trouble you, fellow Taoist. If there are any taboos in your residence, please inform me in advance.”

Chun Ning thought for a while and said: "There are some medicinal gardens and spiritual plants behind my cave, but there is not much else."

In his medicine garden and spiritual field, there are things like the Flame Tree Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.

Even though you are already familiar with Cen Zijin, I think it’s better not to let him know easily.

After all, these two things he got from the spiritual realm are not common outside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning said again:

“Oh, by the way, I also have two spiritual beasts. Let’s get to know them first to avoid any misunderstandings later.”

Cen Zijin was stunned when he heard this, "In addition to the art of making talismans, fellow Taoist, is he also proficient in spiritual planting and spiritual beasts?"

“I can’t say I’m proficient, I’ve only had a few exposures.”

Chun Ning responded and took Cen Zijin directly to the spirit beast room.

Then he released Ling Xiaobai and the iron rock beast respectively.

After more than half a year of raising the iron rock beast, it has grown a lot.

At this moment, it is more than a person tall and as big as an ordinary elephant.

His strength has also reached the peak of the first-level elementary level, and he should be promoted to the first-level intermediate level soon.

Cen Zijin didn’t care much about the iron rock beast.

But when he saw Ling Xiaobai, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine a little.

“What a beautiful spiritual beast.”

As she spoke, she pointed to Ling Xiaobai who had jumped onto Chu Ning’s shoulder and said:

“What kind of spiritual beast is this? Can I touch it?”

“I don’t know what kind of spiritual beast this little guy is, so I named him Ling Xiaobai.

This little guy is a bit aloof, but this little guy likes to eat spiritual fruits. If fellow Daoist Cen wants to get in touch with it..."

Before Chu Ning finished speaking, Cen Zijin took out a green spiritual fruit.

Ling Xiaobai immediately jumped off Chu Ning's shoulders.

Then he walked to Cen Zijin’s feet and rubbed them gently.

Then he let out a cry of "嘤" and happily ate the spiritual fruit handed over by Cen Zijin.

After Cen Liaojin stretched out his hand and touched the white hair on its body, he did not show any sign of rejection.

Chun Ning was slightly startled when he saw this.

This little guy, if you have breasts, you are a mother, right? If there's something delicious, just eat it.

As if feeling Chu Ning's eyes, the little guy looked over, and then suddenly said through his spiritual consciousness:

“It’s more comfortable to be with her than with you, and it’s not hot.”

Chuning was slightly startled when he heard this.

Just then I remembered that Ling Xiaobai was actually of ice nature.

I am now practicing the Flame Fire Divine Wood Technique, plus I practice fire attribute spells regularly.

It seems quite normal for the little guy to dislike himself a little.

“Does she still have spirit fruit?” At this time, Ling Xiaobai came over again.

Chun Ning smiled secretly in his heart, and then said with the same spiritual consciousness:

"She should have other spiritual fruits here. Let her give you some more occasionally."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Xiaobai's little eyes started to move very intelligently.

Cen Zijin’s spiritual consciousness was originally quite strong, but Chu Ning’s spiritual consciousness was not weak either. During this conversation with Ling Xiaobai, the other party did not sense it.

Seeing Ling Xiaobai and Cen Zijin enter the cave, Chu Ning also smiled and took the Iron Rock Beast to the Medicine Garden and Lingtian.

In the spiritual field of Chu Ning, although many spiritual plants have been planted, there are still many open spaces.

The Iron Rock Beast went to find a place to eat dirt.

Chuning continued to cultivate his spiritual plant.

At noon, Chu Ning made some spiritual rice and some dishes, and invited Cen Zijin to eat together.

At the foundation building stage, it is actually possible to live without food for a longer period of time.

However, Cen Zijin agreed directly.

The two of them came to the east side of the cave, eating spiritual rice and looking at the scenery of the lake.

After the meal was finished, Chu Ning used a few small spells to clean up.

Cen Zijin suddenly thought of something at this time. He took out a few tea-making tools from the storage bag, then smiled at Chu Ning and said:

“I remember Taoist friend said last time that the spirit tea seemed good, and I happen to still have some in my storage bag.”

For two people who are good at fire-based and water-based exercises and spells respectively, making some spiritual tea is naturally a trivial matter.

After a while, the two of them had a steaming cup of spiritual tea in front of them.

It was only then that Chu Ning remembered that he had been growing spiritual plants, and it seemed that he had never grown this spiritual tea.

Anyway, there are still some spiritual fields at the back, and it seems good if we can plant some of these things.

So he asked Cen Zijin:

"Fellow Daoist Cen, are there any seeds for this spiritual tea? If so, I can plant some in the spiritual field behind."

Cen Zijin shook his head.

“I have never been involved in spiritual plant cultivation, but I have not prepared seeds. If fellow Taoist wants it, wait until I get the seeds later and send them to you.”

Chun Ning asked casually, and when he heard whether the other party was there, he didn't take it seriously.

Remembering that the storage bags of the two foundation-building monks had not been touched before, Chu Ning took them out at this moment.

At the same time, he took out the Ghost Head Zhang and the Dragon Bone Claw used by the two of them respectively from his storage bag, and put them together on the stone table in front of him.

Then he said to Cen Zijin:

“These things were obtained from the two people who were killed by fellow Taoists. I’m afraid these things may be useful to you.

So I haven’t moved. "

“Thank you!” Cen Zijin said, taking out a few things from two storage bags and looking at them.

There are some elixirs and some jade slips and the like.

Chun Ning seemed to vaguely see a few jade plaques.

After reading these things, Cen Zijin looked at the lake in the distance with his beautiful eyes, his eyes changing.

When Chu Ning saw this, he didn’t bother him and just drank tea aside.

 Judging from Cen Zijin’s performance, his previous guess was not wrong.

The other party should have seen something from the storage bags of the two people, and may even have guessed the purpose of the two people's arrival.

Otherwise, there would not be such a complicated expression on his face.

After Chu Ning drank four or five cups of tea, Cen Zijin finally sighed softly and then looked away.

Looking at Chu Ning, he said apologetically:

“It makes fellow Taoist Chu laugh. This place is indeed a place for self-cultivation. It’s rare for me to have such peace of mind to think about all the troubles.”

When Chu Ning heard this, he glanced at the other party’s stunning face and said casually:

“It seems that Fairy Cen, who is famous in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands area, is not as beautiful as she appears.”

When Cen Zijin heard this, not only was he not angry, but he nodded slightly and said:

“Fellow Daoist Chu is the first person to say this to me, but he is right.”

Cen Zijin seemed to want to say something, but then he stopped, pointed to the storage bag and magic weapon on the table and said:

“This time we faced the enemy, if it weren’t for Daoist friend Chu who was holding the battle from the side and came to help at the critical moment.

I'm afraid I can't escape the hands of these two people. Logically speaking, these things should belong to fellow Taoists.

However, I still have use for these things. I hope fellow Taoists can help me and I will give you some additional compensation. "

“No problem.” Chu Ning nodded lightly and agreed to Cen Zijin’s request.

 He ​​originally didn’t think too much about dividing the things here, but since Cen Zijin took the initiative to speak, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

In fact, even though he is a foundation-building monk, the methods of cultivation are inconsistent.

There are probably not many things that can really be used.

It would be nice if you could get something practical in exchange.

Seeing Chu Ning agreeing so readily, Cen Zijin immediately asked:

“I wonder what you want?”

Chun Ning thought for a while and said: "Elixirs, pills that can be taken by monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining and Qi Refining Perfection."

After a pause, he added: "If there is an elixir with dual attributes of fire and wood, it would naturally be the best."

Chun Ning actually showed off his practice of wood attribute techniques and spells during the previous fight on Na Pinghu Island.

So at this time, there was naturally no concealment.

“For elixirs of this level, I have sixty Jade Dew Pills here, but they are not special ones with dual attributes of fire and wood.”

As Cen Zijin said, he took out three bottles of elixirs from the storage bag and placed them in front of Chu Ning.

At the same time, there was a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

“Fellow Taoist turns out to be a cultivator of the Huo Mu Di Spiritual Root. No wonder he has such a method.”

Chun Ning smiled slightly, acquiescing.

At this time, Cen Zijin also remembered the scene when Chu Ning faced the enemy on Pinghu Island.

Looking at Chu Ning with bright eyes, her long eyelashes blinked gently.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, has two top-notch magic weapons in his hands. Even the foundation-building monks have a headache against them.

 He had many tricks up his sleeve in the Thousand Island Competition before, but he even hid them from us. "

Chun Ning shook his head and said:

“At that time, the eighth level of Qi refining was naturally still a bit inferior, and the treasures were not easily revealed to others.”

After speaking, Chu Ning said seriously to Cen Zijin:

"I would like to ask fellow Taoist Cen to keep my matters a secret. I just want to practice quietly and don't want to cause too much trouble."

Cen Zijin nodded slightly.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, I don’t want this matter to cause an uproar.”

Chuning nodded after hearing this.

The first half year I lived here was very stable, but in the past half month, things kept happening, which gave Chu Ning a headache.

He picked up the three bottles of Jade Dew Pill that Cen Zijin had released, and was about to ask about the efficacy of the pill.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Which Taoist friend’s cave is this, please come out and meet me.”

Chuning was slightly startled when he heard the shouting outside.

His brows wrinkled inadvertently at the same time.

His eyes looked outside. This formation did not block the view inside the cave.

Outside the formation, there were two monks wearing blue robes and yellow robes. The clothes gave Chu Ning a vague sense of familiarity.

And looking at the auras, they are all Foundation-Building monks.

Just when Chu Ning was thinking this, Cen Zijin on the side said:

“Liu Wanhong and Song Feng, why did they come here together?”

Hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder he felt that the clothes of the two people were familiar. They turned out to be monks from the two leader families.

It’s just that he had never seen these two people before in the Thousand Island Competition.

Immediately, he thought that Shadow Moon Island and Bitao Island were respectively attached to two major families.

“These two people are not here for Na Peng Dajun and Na He Mingjin.”

Chun Ning was secretly vigilant at this moment.

“Which fellow Taoist is inside, please come out and see me.”

At this time, Song Feng, who was wearing a yellow robe outside, spoke again, with obvious impatience in his tone.

Chun Ning immediately stood up and was about to walk out, when Cen Zijin said from the side:

“These two are both monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and Liu Wanhong is okay.

But that Song Feng is extremely difficult to talk to, so fellow Daoist Chu should be more careful. "

Hearing Cen Zijin’s reminder, Chu Ning nodded and quickly flew out of the cave.

When he came to the two of them, Chu Ning raised his hands and bowed and said: "Junior Chu Ning, Feihong Island, has met two seniors. They were practicing just now. Please don't be weird, senior."

“Feihong Island Chu Ning, I seem to have heard this name before…”

Liu Wanhong, who was wearing a blue robe, muttered softly.

On the side, Song Feng, who was wearing a yellow robe, suddenly said:

“Are you the one who defeated Chu Ning who had perfected Qi refining in the Thousand Island Competition?

I heard that Feihong Island has a second-level spiritual vein. Is this where you practice? "

"Oh, I remembered. I heard that you are also a famous Talisman Master, and you have quite a few tricks."

Liu Wanhong also remembered about Chu Ning at this moment and said.

Chu Ning did not expect that this person named Song Feng would still remember him after half a year.

Then he kept saying: "This trivial skill cannot catch the eyes of these two seniors.

There is indeed a very small second-order spiritual vein here, so the younger generation built a cave here. "

Hearing Chu Ning's honest answer, the expression on Song Feng's face became a little more satisfied.

But then, two eyes pierced Chu Ning again, and even the consciousness shrouded and oppressed Chu Ning's body.

“Have any foundation-building monks from other islands been here recently?”

Feeling this spiritual consciousness, Chu Ning suddenly had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

He also answered quickly:

“No, these two seniors are the first time I have met the foundation-building monks since I opened this cave.”

"Really?" Song Feng increased the pressure of his spiritual consciousness, and his voice became colder.

Chun Ning shook his head, "Indeed not, I don't dare to deceive my senior."

Liu Wanhong heard whispering softly:

“Someone had clearly seen them heading in this direction before, so why didn’t they show up?”

But Song Feng didn't speak. He just looked at Chu Ning and then at the cave formation behind him, his eyes flickering.

Seeing the look in the other person's eyes, Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat and felt a little bad.

If the other party really proposed to go into the cave to have a look, he would not be able to refuse it completely for a while.

At this time, the blue-robed monk named Liu Wanhong opened his mouth and said:

“Let’s go then. If you see two foundation-building monks who look like this later, go to Thousand Fantasy Island and inform our two families in time.”

As he spoke, Lao Wanhong described the appearance of the two monks to Chu Ning.

“As expected, I came here for these two people.”

After hearing this, Chu Ning sighed inwardly, because what Wanhong described was exactly the appearance of Peng Dajun and He Mingjin.

At the same time, he kept promising that as long as he saw the two of them, he would definitely report them in time.

Hearing this, Liu Wanhong stopped talking and looked like he was about to leave directly.

But Song Feng smiled coldly at this moment.

“How dare we neglect the summons of the foundation-building monks of the Thousand Islands Alliance? Do you think it’s a big deal just to have the Cen family’s formation?

In this case, let’s suffer a little bit…”

As he spoke, the man named Song Feng stared directly at Chu Ning.

At the same time, Chu Ning felt a surge of consciousness rushing towards his head.

“Spiritual attack?”

Chun Ning immediately realized what this guy named Song Feng was going to do.

At this moment, Chu Ning actually only needs to use the Forbidden God Technique, and he is confident enough to make the opponent suffer a hidden loss.

However, in this way, I will be at peace.

Of course, Chu Ning would not really let the other party attack his consciousness so unscrupulously.

The Forbidden God Technique was used to block the opponent's spiritual attack. Chu Ning controlled the Forbidden God Technique so that it did not have any backlash.

The next moment, Chu Ning let out an "ah" sound, held his head and screamed.

His face also turned extremely pale in an instant.

The eyes are vaguely lifeless.

Seeing this scene, Song Feng sneered.

Then he turned around and flew away.

Liu Wanhong, on the other hand, didn't even look at Chu Ning.

Before the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared.

It was only at this moment that Chu Ning slowly let go of her hand covering her head.

At the same time, his eyes flickered slightly.

“I remember the surname Song.”

Chun Ning raised his brows slightly.

Immediately, he turned around and walked back to the formation slowly.

As soon as Chu Ning entered the cave, Cen Zijin immediately greeted him.

Seeing Chu Ning's face pale at this moment, a trace of anger flashed in her bright eyes.

“This Song Feng is really going too far. He even used spiritual consciousness attack on a Qi Refining monk.”

After saying that, Cen Zijin looked at Chu Ning with some worry.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, are you okay now?

These Qi-refining cultivators of the Spiritual Consciousness are very slow to recover. If the damage is serious, the recovery time may be quite long. "

Chun Ning waved her hands slightly when she heard this. Although her face was still a little pale, it had begun to turn a little rosy.

At the same time, he replied:

“The treasure I used to defend against the ghost attack had some effect on resisting spiritual attacks.

Although there was a moment when the head was about to explode, the injury was not very serious. "

Chuning didn't want to make his injury too serious, otherwise he would have to pretend every day, which would be really hard.

Anyway, Cen Zijin had already seen some of his methods when resisting Yin Shen before.

They are all attacks based on spiritual consciousness. There is no big flaw in saying so.

Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Ning said, Cen Zijin had no intention of continuing to ask questions, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

“That’s the best.

Speaking of which, you may have been implicated by me just now. "

Cen Zijin sighed slightly and said:

"The Song family is at odds with our Cen family. He may have noticed that your formation here has something to do with me."

Chuning opened his mouth slightly when he heard this.

At this time, he felt that after the Thousand Island Competition, when Fairy Cen asked the maid to call him, it was really wise for him to refuse decisively.

Just as he thought at that time, the title of the No. 1 Fairy in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands sounded like a lot of trouble.

It was a pity that because of this formation and the use of talismans, I ended up getting involved with the other party.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning sighed lightly.

“Now we feel sympathy for the patient.

Fellow Daoist Cen, if you live here, you should not have any more trouble.

Contact with fellow Taoists is indeed a bit dangerous. "

Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cen Zijin’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

Even though she knew that Chu Ning was telling the truth, with such a beautiful woman like herself here, did this guy just think it was trouble?

Cen Zijin wanted to refute a word or two, but when he saw Chu Ning's pale face, he thought of what happened on Pinghu Island before.

This Fairy Cen finally swallowed her words.

Then he frowned slightly.

“Listening to the appearance of the two people Liu Wanhong just described, they seem to be Peng Dajun from Shadow Moon Island and He Mingjin from Bitao Island.

Some monks mentioned before that there were foundation-building monks fighting around here. Could it be these two people? "

Cen Zijin looked thoughtful as he spoke.

“The two islands are indeed attached to the Liu family and the Song family respectively.”

Chun Ning listened to Cen Zijin's words and pretended that he didn't understand.

After this incident, the two of them also lost the interest in the conversation just now, and they both returned to their respective caves to practice.

In the following days, the two of them concentrated on healing and cultivating.

Different stone chambers are separated by restrictions, but they do not interfere with each other.

Moreover, under the protection of the stone chamber prohibition, Chu Ning can practice the Fierce Flame Technique with peace of mind, without worrying that Cen Zijin will hear any movement.

  The communication between the two people started with just a few occasional conversations before and after meals. Later, the number of conversations gradually increased unconsciously.

From the general situation of thousands of lakes and islands, we talked about the journey of cultivation.

Occasionally Chu Ning would ask some cultivation questions, and Cen Zijin would answer them one by one if he knew them.

Over a period of time, Chu Ning has gained quite a lot.

For example, he learned from Cen Zijin that the six families of the Thousand Island Alliance were not united.

There were three factions in total.

The Liu family, the Song family and the Huo family are closer.

The other Chen family and Shi family are closer.

The Cen family has always been relatively independent between the two factions.

The ability to maintain such a pattern is mainly due to the formation.

After all, among the thousands of lakes and islands, the teleportation formations and various formations on each island are inseparable from the Cen family.

This teleportation array is also one of the important sources of income for the Thousand Islands Alliance.

It's just that in recent years, Cen Wenquan, the head of the Cen family and Cen Zijin's eldest uncle, seems to have the idea of ​​getting closer to the Chen family and the Shi family.

This also caused the other three families to start deliberately targeting the Cen family.

The reason why Cen Zijin recruited Chu Ning to join the group before was that he was somewhat squeezed out by the three families in the market.

Except for the formation, the rest of the business is basically bleak.

While the two were chatting, they also listened and inquired about each other's news.

For example, Cen Zijin was a little curious about Chu Ning's many tricks, and he once casually asked Chu Ning about his origins.

Chun Ning naturally excused himself casually.

He also casually asked whether the rumors about Cen Zijin were true.

For example, was she really accepted as a disciple by a certain Jindan monk? How could she choose to stay here instead of going to that big sect?

However, it was also to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, Cen Zijin has lived here for more than a month.

On this day, after Chu Ning walked into the spiritual field, he was immediately stunned.

But it is the spiritual fruit that is a hybrid between Yuanyang fruit and Tiesteum orchid. After it bears fruit, it has been cultivated at an extremely slow speed.

Not only does this pollen take longer to pollinate than the previous hybrid golden orchids.

The growth rate after this fruiting is far slower than that of the original golden orchid, or even slower than that of the orchid.

In the past two months of growth, the spiritual fruit has not changed in any way except that it has grown in size by a small circle.

As time goes by, the golden color on the golden orchid fruit will continue to spread.

This spiritual fruit has basically not changed much in almost two months.

But when Chu Ning looked at it again today, he found that the fruit had begun to change a little.

The head is still so small, but the red spots on it seem to be less than when I observed it carefully two days ago.

"What's going on? It doesn't matter if the spirit fruit doesn't grow, but why are the red spots getting smaller? Could it be that the cultivation failed?"

Chun Ning muttered to himself, and then wrote down the changes in the spiritual fruit.

Immediately, Chu Ning looked at the two elixir gardens that he was most concerned about, the Flame Wood Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.

“Hey, it’s the result!”

Looking at the few small spiritual fruits produced on the flame-wood twin fruit trees, Chu Ning suddenly felt happy.

He walked quickly and came to the Flame Wood Twin Fruit.

I saw that this spiritual fruit was green, not as fiery red as the ones Chu Ning had picked in the spiritual realm before.

And the size is also much smaller.

But the shape is exactly the same.

Chun Ning's face was immediately filled with smiles when he saw it.

It took 8 months, but the flame-wood twin fruit finally came to fruition. From now on, I only have to cast spells intermittently.

It is only a matter of time before the spiritual fruit matures.

Chun Ning remembered that when he was picking in the spiritual realm, a flamewood twin fruit tree could grow 5 or 6 spiritual fruits.

Now I have 36 planted here. If normal, the number should increase to more than 150.

By then, whether you take it directly by yourself or take it after refining the Xuanling Baodan, it should be enough.

At this time, it is better to cultivate these spiritual fruits as early as possible.

“We have to ask Ling Xiaobai to come out to ripen it more.”

Chu Ning would not think that the reason why these elixirs and fruits could grow so fast was entirely because of his spell casting.

My own Yinmu spirit body's use of the Xuan Qing Hua technique should indeed be more effective than that of ordinary monks.

However, such a growth rate is absolutely inseparable from the ripening of the little guy Ling Xiaobai.

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning turned around and walked into the cave.

This little guy has been getting some benefits from Cen Zijin from time to time recently, so when the girl wants him to play with him, he always responds to her call.

But you must not forget about your own business.

Cen Zijin, who was teasing and playing with Ling Xiaobai in the stone room, looked at Chu Ningti and Ling Xiaobai, who looked unwilling.

Suddenly asked with some curiosity:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, why are you asking Xiaobai to do it? Why does it look so reluctant?"

“Pee! Be back soon!”

Chun Ning replied casually.

“嘤!”

When Ling Xiaobai heard this, he also cried out in grievance.

And Cen Zijin's face turned slightly red. He hesitated for a moment, but still followed Chu Ning out.

However, she stopped after watching Chu Ningshi take Ling Xiaobai into the medicine garden.

Of course, Cen Zijin still remembered that Chu Ning had reminded her before that there were some spiritual plants planted behind it, and it seemed that he didn’t want others to see it.

Because of the prohibition, standing outside the medicine garden, even Cen Zijin could not see what was planted in the medicine garden and the spiritual field.

Just for a short while, Chu Ningti left Ling Xiaobai and walked out again.

Cen Zijin reached out and took Ling Xiaobai from Chu Ning’s hand and held him in his hand. He hesitated for a moment and then asked:

“Why do you want Xiaobai to come here?”

“Fertilize.” Chu Ning said matter-of-factly.

“The feces of spiritual beasts have spiritual energy and can promote the growth of spiritual plants. In fact…”

After saying this, Chu Ning looked at Cen Zijin.

Seeing this, Cen Zijin's bright eyes suddenly stared over.

It seems that I haven't shown off the airs of a foundation-building monk, and I feel that the guy in front of me is getting more and more presumptuous.

Chuning felt Cen Zijin’s eyes, was slightly startled, and said with some confusion:

“Actually, anyone who has had a little contact with spiritual plant cultivation knows these things.

For example, among sects, the excrement of spiritual animals is often specially made into fertilizer. "

Hearing this, Cen Zijin blinked slightly.

“Are you going to tell me this?”

Chuning nodded, slightly startled and said: "Yes, what else could I say?"

“It’s nothing!” A blush flashed across Cen Zijin’s face, and then he quickly walked into the cave with Ling Xiaobai in his arms.

When Chu Ning saw this, he smiled and followed him into the cave.

After walking a few steps ahead, Cen Zijin slowed down again and waited until Chu Ning stepped forward before walking side by side.

Then he reached out and took out something from the storage bag and handed it to Chu Ning.

“Here you go, the cloud-patterned talisman pen. I’ve been healing my wounds before and couldn’t put my mind down to get it.

In the past few days, I have cleaned up all the iron meteorites in the roots. See if it works. "

Chun Ning reached out and took it. Cen Zijin had indeed asked him before how to make this cloud pattern talisman pen.

At this moment, I took it and saw that the green bamboo body had turned yellow and was shorter.

The top position of the pen and the pen barrel position near the pen tip have been processed to a certain extent.

At the bottom of the pen tip, the hair-like roots are obviously taken care of.

It no longer looks like the original cloud-patterned bamboo, but looks like a carefully crafted talisman pen.

Chun Ning injected a little mana, and immediately felt that the mana penetrated the tip of the pen, which was indeed much better than the previous mid-grade talisman pen.

“Okay, just when I was dealing with the giant golden-feathered leopard, I made some more advanced talismans, and now I’m ready.”

Chun Ning happily took the pen, took out a box of talisman ink from the storage bag, and went straight to the talisman-making room.

As for the talisman papers, he had already made a batch of medium talisman papers before, which was enough.

Cen Zijin watched Chu Ning enter the talisman-making room, but still did not follow him.

She is a formation mage herself, so she naturally knows that if the other party does not take the initiative to invite her, it would not be appropriate to follow her in.

Chun Ning came to the talisman-making room alone. He had actually been able to make low-level talismans for a long time.

What needs to be improved now is just the success rate of making talismans, so it is really not suitable for Na Cen Zijin to watch.

Otherwise, the success rate of making the talisman will be so high, and the previous words will not be able to be rounded off.

About half an hour later, Chu Ning put all the talismans he had made into his storage bag and walked out of the talisman-making room with only a few Xuanshui talismans.

With a smile on his face.

This high-quality talisman pen and talisman ink really make a difference once you use them.

No matter how he made this mysterious water talisman before, the success rate was only about 50%.

Now that I have tried it a little bit, the success rate has directly increased by 10%.

With a little more practice, it shouldn't be a big problem to improve it even further, reaching 70% or 80%.

Cen Zijin heard Chu Ning coming out and walked out of the stone room. When he saw the smile on Chu Ning's face, a light flashed in his almond eyes.

"Looking at the expression on my fellow Taoist's face, it seems that he has successfully made the talisman?"

“Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life.” Chu Ning handed several talismans in his hand to Cen Zijin.

“It is indeed possible to make this intermediate and low-grade talisman, but the success rate needs to be mentioned again.”

Cen Zijin immediately took it and felt it for a while, with a mixture of surprise and joy on his pretty face.

“What a high-quality talisman.”

As he spoke, a pair of wonderful eyes fell on Chu Ning, his eyes moving.

“Intermediate and low-grade talisman can also have such quality. It seems that the talent and level of talisman making by fellow Taoist are really good.”

Chun Ning did not answer Cen Zijin’s words, but asked:

“How did fellow Taoist explain that this Cen workshop suddenly had so many high-quality talismans, and now even mid-level and low-grade talismans have appeared.”

Hearing this, Cen Zijin glanced at Chu Ning with some dissatisfaction.

“Originally it was best to tell the truth, but now I have to bear this reputation myself.

In the eyes of everyone, I am just a genius. I know all the formations. It doesn’t matter if I learn a little bit about how to make talismans. "

When Chu Ning heard this, he laughed and said:

"Congratulations to fellow Taoist Cen. With everyone's high regard for you, I am afraid that your reputation as the number one talisman master in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands will fall on you sooner or later."

Cen Zijin glanced at Chu Ning, sighed softly and said:

"Do you really think that the bigger the reputation, the better? This is just a drag for me..."

Speaking of this, Cen Zijin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he continued.

“Didn’t you ask me before if there was a Jindan monk in Tianlinggen who wanted to accept me as a disciple?

This is true, and he is the leader of a large sect. If nothing else happens, he will be able to break through to become a Nascent Soul monk within a hundred years. "

Hearing Cen Zijin’s words, Chu Ning was slightly startled.

He did not expect that Cen Zijin would suddenly open up to him and talk about his family affairs.

Dang even asked curiously:

“Then why don’t fellow Taoists choose to join that sect instead of staying here in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands?”

“This actually has something to do with the secrets of our family.” Cen Zijin hesitated for a moment before answering.
