Chapter 168: Coming to close the island
“Excuse me, are you Daoyou Liu Ping Liu?”
Chun Ning looked at the female cultivator in front of her who was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining, although she had some vague guesses in her heart.
But he still asked cautiously:
“Fellow Taoist came to see me, but what did he bring?”
The middle-aged female cultivator reached out and took out a talisman, placed it in front of Chu Ning, and asked:
“I wonder if fellow Taoists recognize this talisman?”
“Flame Wing Talisman!”
Chun Ning's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this talisman.
This talisman is a true magic talisman made from the flame-winged bird after he practiced the Fiery Flame Technique.
He was the only one who could control it, so he gave it to Cen Zijin as a token for others to hand over to Chu Ning when it was inconvenient for her to get the talisman and elixir.
The woman's face was filled with joy when she heard Chu Ning call out the name of the talisman.
Cen Zijin wrote something on everything.
This talisman paper was not made into a talisman, but a few words were written on it.
When Ling Xiaobai heard what Chu Ning said, he called out again, and then ate a spirit fruit into his belly.
“Xiao Bai, these spiritual fruits are all yours.”
After setting up the defense, it is not easy even for the Golden Elixir monk to break through the defense.
Immediately, Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai from the spirit beast bag.
“Come on, little guy, let’s practice the Xuanming Jue with you and see if I can make you feel better quickly.
—Cen Zijin. "
“This is all given to you by Cen Zijin. She left here and won’t be back in a short time.” Chu Ning explained.
“This set of formation equipment was developed by me in recent years. It combines many ancient formations and can be used directly in conjunction with the formations you use now.
He did not continue to look at anything else and returned directly to the cave on Feihong Island.
The specific formation and usage methods are all engraved on the jade slips.
In addition to the talisman paper with the writing on it, there is also a small bag of medium-grade spiritual stones, a jade slip, numerous elixirs, and a set of formation equipment.
It will be clear after reading what is inside. "
After a long time, Chu Ning waved his hand, and everything on the stone table, except for some spiritual fruits, was put into the storage bag.
Reaching the outermost stone room, facing the lake, Chu Ning took out the items in the storage bag one by one.
“Why so many?”
As she spoke, the woman took out a storage bag from her arms and handed it to Chu Ning.
Looking at these things, Chu Ning seemed to see Cen Zijin sitting opposite him, with a bright smile on his face, his eyes moving, and talking softly.
At the same time, some basic techniques for identifying formations and some methods for breaking formations are recorded in the jade slips, which should be useful whether you continue in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands or go to other places. "
This transfiguration spell is very useful and has helped me a lot.
“It is indeed Liu Daoyou, the little lady has been here for half a day every day for the past two months.
Chuning looked at the little guy's happy expression, and there was a smile on his face.
I'm still waiting for you to go somewhere together. "
Chuning reached out and took it, nodded and said, "I will convey it to you."
Yaochi Palace is too far away from here, so there is no need to come to see me. We will meet again when we are destined.
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai called out, full of joy.
Chuning looked at the empty space opposite him, then turned his head and looked at the rippling blue lake outside.
At the same time, the little guy was also a little confused.
I learned that Cen Ziyi had no great joy, but also the Iraqi leaving.
Today I can see my fellow Taoist. "
“I would like to ask my Taoist friend to help me pass this storage bag over to you, and also give you a message.
“I have gone to Yaochi Palace, don’t worry.
“The little woman took her leave first.”
…
Coming to a deserted place, Chu Ning briefly checked the contents of the storage bag, and then quickly took out a piece of talisman paper.
As soon as the female cultivator left, Chu Ning followed her out of the inn.
The mood is extremely complicated.
“These spiritual stones are all sold by your talismans and elixirs, and there is no share for Cen Workshop.”
“I have collected some elixirs for refining elixirs. See if you can use them. Those elixir fruits are for Xiaobai to eat.”
Looking at the line of words written on the talisman, Chu Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
While speaking, Chu Ning quickly started to use the magic formula, and at the same time uttered some obscure spells in his mouth.
A mana channel connects Chu Ning and Ling Xiaobai.
Suddenly, these streams of spiritual energy quickly gathered towards Ling Xiaobai.
“It’s really different after building the foundation!”
About an hour later, Chu Ning stopped, although it also consumed a lot of mana.
But the overall appearance of the person is not very strenuous.
This is completely different from the previous need to continuously take elixir supplements in the ancient sect ruins.
After Ling Xiaobai returned to the spirit beast room, Chu Ning calmed down and started thinking about what he should do next.
There doesn’t seem to be much pressure in terms of cultivation.
Yanhuo Shenmu Gong continues to practice, and he still has a lot of Qingmu Yuanyang Pills in his body. Some of them have already been refined, and those who don't have them can continue to refine their spirits.
And these elixirs can support one's cultivation for a long time without any problem.
Since I can make elixirs by myself, I no longer have any trouble with the elixir.
The difficulty is to refine some elixirs. After all, there is no channel like Cen Zijin.
Whether it is buying elixirs or selling things in hand to exchange for spiritual stones, it is no longer convenient.
However, Chu Ning was not too anxious.
He has just established the foundation. This stage is naturally focused on consolidating the realm, and he is not in a hurry to take too many pills to practice.
“There is no problem with refining Qi. Refining body…”
Chuning looked at the proficiency in his mind at this moment.
【Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), second level (1667/10000)】
【Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Immortal Soul (0/3000)】
【Alchemy, second level (2000/2000)】
In fact, Chu Ning has always been a little curious. This Jiuyan Body Refining Technique is obviously a body refining technique, so how can the realm of immortal soul appear.
“Is it possible that this body refining technique can also achieve the same effect of strengthening the spiritual consciousness and stabilizing the spiritual soul after practicing it later?”
Chuning was muttering secretly in her heart at this moment.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that his idea was really very possible.
After all, this Qi refining will have the effect of refining the God after reaching the foundation building stage.
This body refining and qi refining have the same goal, and it is naturally very possible to strengthen the spiritual consciousness later in the practice.
“If my inference is correct, then my spiritual consciousness may be able to grow rapidly without continuing to practice divine arts.
It just so happens that I can give it a try during this period of time. "
Chun Ning thought in her mind, and immediately began to practice the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique in this practice room.
Anyway, during this period of time, he did not have any training methods behind the divine refining technique.
Just in time to see the effect of practicing the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique and the Nine-Evolution Body Refining Technique on the growth of spiritual consciousness after building the foundation.
So, for the next period of time, Chu Ning just stayed in the cave.
Don't go out the door, don't step out the second door.
Ling Xiaobai and Ling Xiaobai practice Xuanming Jue every day to help each other continue to recover.
At the same time, practice Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique and Jiuyan Body Refining Technique every day.
Because the foundation has just been established, and the Nine Evolution Body Refining Technique has just been cultivated to the level of immortal soul.
So Chu Ning did not use pills or spiritual fruits for both cultivations.
And Chu Ning did not absorb the wood essence energy of the Iron Soul Flower.
What reassured him was that after the Iron Soul Flower matured, it contained a large amount of wood essence energy.
However, if Chu Ning had not taken the initiative to absorb this wood spirit energy, it would not have leaked out.
This flower can bloom for two to three years.
This cultivation lasts for another month.
On this day, Chu Ning sat cross-legged in the practice room after completing the day's practice.
Started to think about the status of my cultivation this month.
“My cultivation talent is pretty good, but I can’t do it without any help from other resources.
Even if you have a second-order high-grade spiritual vein, this speed should be at its peak. "
【Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), second level (1727/10000)】
【Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Immortal Soul (30/3000)】
【Alchemy, second level (2000/2000)】
For a month, Chu Ning maintained a long practice time every day.
Without the help of elixirs and spiritual fruits.
Yanhuo Shenmu Kung has maintained a proficiency increase of about 2 points every day, which is faster than before.
Obviously it is also related to the faster speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after foundation building.
As for the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique, it can only increase by about 1 point. As for the spiritual consciousness, Chu Ning can also feel that it is indeed growing, but the speed is not fast.
After a month of practice, his spiritual consciousness has only expanded outward by about one foot.
If he hadn't paid special attention, he wouldn't have been able to feel this subtle change.
“For the next training, we still need to use some resources!”
Chun Ning made up his mind.
In fact, after entering the foundation building stage, it is not slow to still have such an increase.
The talents the system has given me are indeed outstanding.
However, when any great cultivator grows up, he not only has talent, but also has countless resources.
Chun Ning casually took out the jade bottles containing Qingmu Yuanyang Pill and Tieyang Fruit from the storage bag.
These two things were used by him in the previous stage of perfecting Qi and stopping tendons.
But I don’t know if it will still be useful after building the foundation now and reaching the immortal soul stage.
“After all, the Qingmu Yuanyang Pill was refined, and the Iron Yang Fruit was effective in breaking through my bottleneck.
According to theory, it should be equally effective for my current practice, but to see how effective it is, I still have to try it again. "
Speaking, Chu Ning got up directly and went to the stone room with hot springs next door.
Crush the Iron Yang Fruit into a vat for bathing. When the person jumped into it, he began to practice the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique.
An hour later, Chu Ning slowly walked out of the stone room, muttering to himself.
“Sure enough, after breaking through and entering the Immortal Soul stage, the effect of the Iron Yang Fruit was still weakened.
Originally, it was necessary to practice the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique six times to fully activate the medicinal effect of Tieyang Fruit.
Now it only needs to be practiced four times to fully activate it. "
While muttering like this, Chu Ning felt the cultivation proficiency in his mind.
He has just used two Iron Yang Fruits in succession to practice, and has already tested the efficacy of the medicine.
【Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Immortal Soul (33/3000)】
Two Iron Yang Fruits can increase the proficiency by 3 points. It doesn’t seem to be slow, and it can even increase the 1 point by 1 point compared to the original one.
But Chu Ning knew that this was because he had not entered the bottleneck period of body refining.
At that time, it was still possible to gain 1 point even if it entered the bottleneck period.
Compared with this, the effectiveness is still weaker.
“But it’s not bad, at least I have something that can be practiced to speed up.”
Chun Ning is basically satisfied with the effect of Tie Yang Guo.
Coupled with daily practice, you can increase your proficiency by 2 points in one day.
After all, this has entered a higher level of cultivation.
It is naturally impossible to expect rapid progress in a few months as before.
After taking a short break from practicing the divine art, Chu Ning picked up the Qingmu Yuanyang Pill after refining the spirit and began to practice the Yanhuo Divine Wood Art.
Although there is no third-level method of practicing the divine refining technique, this divine refining technique is also effective in restoring spiritual consciousness.
Chun Ning naturally would not say that he would stop practicing completely without the third level of cultivation method.
After a few more hours, Chu Ning in the practice room finally ended his attempted practice for the day.
At the same time, there was a faint smile on his face.
【Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), second level (1730/10000)】
The Qingmu Yuanyang Pill after soul refining can increase the proficiency of the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique by 3 points.
This effect undoubtedly surprised Chu Ning.
This way, in the early stages of foundation building, he no longer even has to think about finding other elixirs.
“You can grow the main materials such as Yuanyang Fruit yourself, and buy the remaining auxiliary alchemy materials, so you don’t have to worry too much about the cultivation resources at this stage.
In the next period of time, there should be no problem in continuing to practice steadily. "
…
While Chu Ning was practicing with peace of mind, a white light flashed in the Qianhong Island teleportation array, and several figures appeared.
Several people wore robes of different colors, but they all had the word "meng" embroidered on their sleeves.
Meaning that these are the people of the Thousand Islands Alliance.
Although the Thousand Islands Alliance is controlled by six major families, the scope of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands is too large to be managed by just relying on family members.
So after so many years of development, almost every family has absorbed some casual cultivators and some small families to enrich their own strength.
For example, some law enforcement and patrol teams, as well as some foreign affairs liaison matters, are basically carried out by these people.
This also allows the direct descendants of the six major families to practice with peace of mind.
The group of ten people entering Qianhong Island at this moment is such a team.
Although he is not a direct descendant of the six major families, he represents the Thousand Islands Alliance after all, so the island owner Jiang Hongguang does not dare to neglect.
After receiving the news, he took Yu Yuanxiu, Jiang Lan and a group of disciples to the outside of the cave to greet him early.
“Jiang Hongguang from Feihong Island has met all the seniors and fellow Taoists in the alliance.”
At first glance, it was seen that the team was led by two monks who had perfected their Qi refining skills, and the remaining eight people were also in the late stages of Qi refining.
Jiang Hongguang became more polite even though he was horrified in his heart.
Originally, he just wanted to call him Taoist friend, so he added the word "senior" in front of it.
The leader, a Qi Refining Perfection monk, was in his forties, good-looking, with a white face and no beard, and a somewhat arrogant expression.
“You are Jiang Hongguang, and my name is Xiao Liebo. I am here to announce something to you on behalf of the Thousand Islands Alliance.”
Hearing that the man named Xiao Libo spoke in a rather unkind tone, Jiang Hongguang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
However, he still said with a smile on his face:
“Senior Xiao, please give your orders, we will definitely support you.”
Seeing that Jiang Hongguang was very cooperative, Xiao Liebo nodded with satisfaction, and then he told a piece of news that made Jiang Hongguang's expression change drastically.
“Because there have been second-level hidden spiritual veins appearing in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands recently, several alliance leaders decided after discussion.
All islands with second-level hidden spiritual veins and no foundation-building monks must be given up so that the alliance can reallocate resources more rationally. "
As he spoke, Xiao Liebo stared directly at Jiang Hongguang.
“You guys discovered the second-order hidden spiritual veins a few years ago, right?”
Jiang Hongguang's face changed drastically, and he said with a look of embarrassment:
“We on Feihong Island did discover the second-order hidden spiritual vein, but that was only after we obtained jurisdiction over this island.
Now that we are suddenly asked to give up this island, where should we go to practice? "
“Don’t worry, the alliance will naturally arrange another first-order spiritual island for you, and will also give you appropriate compensation.”
Xiao Liebo looked vaguely impatient as he spoke at this moment.
“Don’t think about saying anything else. You have been cultivating this second-level spiritual vein for several years, and you have already earned it.
Is it possible that you really want to disobey the alliance leader’s order? "
As he spoke, Xiao Liebo looked at Jiang Hongguang, and then glanced at the other people behind him.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard Sholebo's unkind words.
Although the management of the Thousand Islands Alliance is relatively lax, everyone knows that the order of the alliance leader cannot be violated casually.
The Alliance Leader's Order does not represent a certain family, but the six major families.
It is said that there was a foundation-building monk who openly disobeyed the alliance leader's order, and was eventually killed by six major families.
Even if Jiang Hongguang was reluctant, he would not dare to say such words at this moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Liebo snorted lightly, his eyes full of pride.
“You are required to move away from this island within one month, otherwise we, the Thousand Island Alliance, will directly expel you.”
After listening to this, Jiang Hongguang nodded dejectedly.
He has always been aware of current affairs, otherwise he would not have kept such a low profile in front of Chu Ning.
However, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
He gritted his teeth and looked up at Xiao Liebo.
“Senior Xiao, this junior is willing to withdraw from this second-level spiritual vein and practice on other islands.
However, there is a Taoist friend who has set up a cave on this island. Can he continue to practice on the island? "
Naxiaolibo obviously had a general understanding of the situation on the island before coming.
At this moment, his brows wrinkled slightly.
“Are you talking about the Chu Ning who helped you successfully defend the Thousand Island Competition a few years ago?”
After Jiang Hongguang nodded, Xiao Liebo immediately said with a straight face:
“No, since this island has been taken back to the alliance for redistribution, naturally he cannot be allowed to stay on this island to practice.
I heard that his cave is located at a location called Yanfeng. There may also be a second-order hidden spiritual vein there.
Otherwise, he would allow you to practice on this hidden spiritual vein? "
Hearing this, Jiang Hongguang's expression changed slightly again.
He was very grateful to Chu Ning, so he wanted to help Chu Ning fight for it, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected directly.
He opened his mouth to say something more, but Xiaolebo didn't give him a chance at all, and immediately waved his hand and said:
"Stop talking and lead the way to Yanfeng. A late-stage Qi refining monk is not qualified."
Under the watchful eyes of two monks who have perfected Qi refining and so many monks who are in the late stages of Qi refining, Jiang Hongguang is reluctant no matter how reluctant he is.
At this moment, we can only take a few people to Yanfeng.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan also followed behind everyone.
Yu Yuanxiu originally wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it he gave up and led others to follow him.
She knew that fellow Daoist Chu was not as temperamental as her husband, so she thought that since she was a woman after all, if there was any conflict, she could help to calm it down.
