Chapter 177 Gu Zong Token
“This pattern…”
Chun Ning found a brand with a simple shape and unknown material from among the many things in Song Cheng's storage bag.
But the pattern inside was extremely familiar to Chu Ning.
This card depicts a bird-shaped monster similar to a phoenix on one side.
On the other side, there is a pattern of a monster similar to the body of a cow.
Shockingly, they were the two patterns that Chu Ning had seen on the armrests of the two main seats in the ancient sect ruins hall.
Chuning had previously obtained the double fire rings and the thunder bead from the two armrests, so he naturally had a deep memory of these two patterns.
“This card must be related to that ancient sect, and these two patterns should be the symbols of that sect.”
Chun Ning thought about it in his heart, but secretly sighed in his heart.
“Being a casual cultivator in this thousand lakes and islands certainly has the advantage of freedom, but on the other hand it also has inconveniences.
“Senior Chu, why are you here in person? If you have anything to do, just send me a message.”
Otherwise, I might still be able to meet Cen Zijin.
On the third day, Chu Ning came directly to Jiang Hongguang’s cave.
Jiang Hongguang smiled and said to Chu Ning:
“Senior Chu, this hidden spiritual vein is still good for the concentration of spiritual energy on Feihong Island.
“Oh? Fellow Daoist Jiang has a guest?”
You must spend most of your time practicing every day.
"Speaking of which, many of these dozens of acres of spiritual land have been abandoned for more than half a year. It would be good to find one or two people to help you take care of it."
For example, when something happened to the Cen family before, he failed to grasp it in time.
As soon as Chu Ning entered the hall, there was a commotion inside, but there were more than twenty people standing inside.
After entering the foundation building, even with so many elixirs and elixirs, my cultivation speed increased more slowly than before.
But now everyone in the Thousand Islands Alliance knows about it, and there are foundation-building monks like Senior.
It seems that they should have obtained it from the outer temple. "
Yuan Yang fruit and many auxiliary elixirs are still needed.
As for the other few good magical weapons, Chu Ning hasn’t paid much attention yet.
Thinking like this, Chu Ning's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After all, the wind-chasing shuttle he purchased before was only a high-level magic weapon and was no longer enough for him to use.
Chuning took a liking to this flying boat at a glance.
He is naturally satisfied with using this object as a flying weapon from now on.
As soon as Jiang Hongguang heard Chu Ning's arrival, he immediately went out and welcomed Chu Ning into the hall.
This was something he had thought about before.
After all, the amount of Qingmu Yuanyang Pill in his hand is only enough for about half a year, if he needs to refine it later.
Most of these people are in the middle stage of Qi refining, and only one or two people are in the late stage of Qi refining, and they are only at the seventh level of Qi refining.
Chu Ning naturally collected some elixirs and the like, not to mention those spiritual stones.
In this way, I can still take care of rare elixirs such as the Flame Wood Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.
“Foundation-Building Monk!”
After all, Chu Ning now has magic weapons for both attack and defense.
However, Chu Ning is not unable to use these spiritual plants and elixirs.
Moreover, even if you are out to inquire about the activities of these thousands of lakes and islands, it is not convenient for you to practice in this cave all year round. "
I really don’t have so much energy to take care of some other ordinary spiritual plants and elixirs. "
As for the magical weapons, there were a few that caught Chu Ning’s attention.
It also includes a flying boat.
Chun Ning followed into the hall with a smile, and glanced at everyone in the hall with some surprise.
Thinking like this, Chu Ning looked at other things on a few people.
“Each person has one of these magic weapons in their storage bag. Judging from the refining method, they are extremely old.
In the past two years, some spiritual fields have been opened on the island. The outside world didn’t know about this before, so I couldn’t tell the outside world.
“Perhaps we can find two more helpers.
After processing all these things, Chu Ning slightly adjusted the layout of the cave the next day.
This flying boat is not only a top-level magical weapon, but also looks like it can carry up to six or seven people based on its size.
The channels for obtaining information are too narrow. Unlike in Qingxi Sect, if you want any information, you can go to the sect to check the information.
In this way, Chu Ning will naturally have no pressure when using it.
Chuning gave it a try, and found that its speed was more than twice as fast as the previous wind-chasing shuttle.
I just thought that by renting out some of these spiritual fields, I could get more spiritual stones. "
Hearing Jiang Hongguang’s words, Chu Ning naturally understood that these people were those who were planning to come to the island to rent spiritual land.
He immediately smiled and said directly:
“That’s good, I just need two people to help me take care of the spiritual field.”
Chu Ning’s words were not transmitted, so everyone in the hall heard them. For a moment, a hint of excitement flashed on the faces of many Qi Refining monks in the hall.
Being able to take care of the spiritual fields for a foundation-building monk is far better for them than renting some spiritual fields for cultivation themselves.
Just when everyone was excited and ready to welcome Chu Ning’s selection.
At this time, Chu Ning suddenly looked at an old and young man and woman in the crowd.
“Would you two like to come to my cave?”
The thin old man who was questioned by Chu Ning was slightly stunned at first, but the next moment, his face suddenly became overjoyed.
“Junior is willing.”
After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded immediately and said:
“Okay, come with me.”
Suddenly, the thin old man and the girl followed Chu Ning out of the hall with great joy.
Jiang Hongguang was about to leave when he saw Chu Ning, so he immediately sent Chu Ning out the door.
The people in the hall were left feeling disappointed and envious.
“Old man Cheng is really lucky to be favored by a foundation-building monk.”
“Perhaps, that senior has taken a liking to his little granddaughter.”
…
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.
The middle-aged monk who just spoke out his words also realized that he shouldn't say nonsense, and his face turned pale.
Fortunately, Chu Ning had already led a few people out of the yard at this time, and it seemed that they did not hear what he said.
Chun Ning really didn’t pay attention to the chattering of the low-level monks behind him.
If he really wanted to hear it, with his spiritual consciousness, even Jiang Hongguang and the entire cave could hear it clearly.
As for whether he would choose the old, one and the young, it is also very simple.
These two people were clearly the pair of grandfather and grandson he met when he was pretending to be chased by a toad demon on the lake a few days ago.
After leaving Jiang Hongguang's cave, Chu Ning also asked for their names.
The thin old man’s name is Cheng Zuyuan, just let Chu Ning call him Old Man Cheng, and the little girl’s name is Cheng Xinxin.
At this moment, the two of them naturally didn't know that the foundation-building monk in front of them was the person they met two days ago.
Chu Ning naturally had no intention of telling the two of them, but he also asked casually:
"Old man Cheng, where did you make a living before? Why did you suddenly think of coming to Feihong Island?" When Cheng Zuyuan heard Chu Ning's question, he immediately replied politely:
“Reporting back to the senior, the junior used to take his little granddaughter to make a living by catching spiritual fish near Qingshi Island and Shuiyun Island.
Two days ago, I accidentally obtained the corpse of a first-level high-level monster that was killed, and sold it for some spiritual stones.
I just want to find a spiritual farm here, which will be more stable. "
Chun Ning just nodded slightly and didn't ask too much.
He chose Old Man Cheng not only because of the affinity between the two, but also because of what he said to Cheng Xinxin later.
Although helping plant and take care of the spiritual fields, you won’t be exposed to too many of his secrets.
But Chu Ning naturally hopes to find someone who is cautious, calm and strict-tongued.
Cheng Xinxin only has the second level of Qi Refining, and the wind control speed is too slow.
After thinking about it, Chu Ning released a flying boat directly from the storage bag.
He said to the two of them:
"You two, come up, I will take you to the cave."
This flying boat is what he sorted out yesterday and two days ago.
That's fine with Cheng Zuyuan. After all, he is older and should have seen some things even if he has never used them.
When Cheng Xinxin stepped onto the flying boat, she immediately looked around with a look of surprise.
Chuning casually cast a magic shield around the two of them, and the next moment, he soared into the sky in the little girl's shining eyes, and flew away towards Yanfeng in the blink of an eye.
In just a short while, Chu Ning led the two of them outside the cave.
"There is a formation here. Follow me and be careful not to get sidetracked."
Chuning turned his head and warned Cheng Zuwu and Cheng Xinxin, who immediately followed behind him carefully.
Bringing the two of them to an open space outside Lingtian, Chu Ning then said to Cheng Zuyuan:
“You guys just build a house here and live in this place from now on…”
Speaking, Chu Ning handed Cheng Zuyuan another token for entering and exiting the perimeter of the formation.
Even if it is simply to settle the other party.
As for how to arrange the living place, that is naturally up to the other party.
In the following days, Chu Ning would tell Cheng Zuyuan everything he had to do every day.
And tell the other party to inquire about the big news about Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands from time to time.
The grandfather and grandson have officially settled down.
Chuning, on the other hand, is cultivating wholeheartedly in the cave.
Time flies so fast, two months have passed in a blink of an eye.
Chun Ning has gained something in these two months.
Chun Ning had been waiting for so long for the three spiritual fruits that were accidentally formed by mixing them, and he obviously had no expectations.
However, after trying it for a while, I unexpectedly discovered that its effect on refining the body is actually better than that of the Tie Yang Fruit.
This fruit was named Iron Yuan Fruit by Chu Ning, and became an auxiliary object for Chu Ning’s physical training.
Chun Ning also used this to think.
In the past two months, he designated several small areas in the elixir garden and began to experiment with various hybrid elixirs.
In addition to the iron stem orchid, Yuanyang fruit, and Jinyuan fruit that he had used before, he also tried some spiritual fruits brought from the spiritual realm such as the flame wood twin fruit.
Even the Iron Soul Flower was taken out and tried by him.
Since he only cultivated a few strains of each type of hybrid fruit, Chu Ning also wanted to see if there would be any surprise discoveries later.
Chuning was practicing in the cave that day, when suddenly Old Man Cheng's voice came from outside.
“Master, I have something important to report.”
After all, Chu Ning is only in her twenties, and it feels a little awkward for a man who is nearly fifty years old to call him "senior" every day.
So he asked the other party to change his name to Young Master.
Hearing Old Man Cheng's call at this moment, Chu Ning walked out of the cave and came to the outer Lingtian area.
Without looking at Old Man Cheng immediately, Chu Ning's eyes fell on Cheng Xinxin.
“Little girl has reached the third level of Qi Refining? Not bad.”
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Cheng Xinxin, who was wearing two pigtails, immediately bowed and saluted:
“Thank you, Master, for the elixir. Xinxin just made a breakthrough a few days ago.”
At this time, Cheng Xinxin’s eyes were dazzling, with a look of excitement that could not be concealed.
But a month ago, Chu Ning saw that Cheng Xinxin was very talented and had reached the peak state of the second level of Qi Refining, so he casually gave him a few low-level pills.
Unexpectedly, the other party would use this to break through and reach the third level of Qi Refining.
Chun Ning nodded, as a courtesy from the other party, and then turned his eyes away from Old Man Cheng.
“Lao Cheng, you just want to tell me this.”
"No, it's about the Song family's affairs in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands." Old Man Cheng immediately shook his head and said.
“What’s going on with the Song family?”
As soon as Chu Ning heard this, he asked Old Man Cheng to continue talking, and he finally understood the general story.
Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Chu Ning.
After several of the foundation-building monks of the Song family died at the hands of Chu Ning, at first when Song Li stepped in to stabilize the overall situation, it did not cause a big commotion.
But as time went by, Song Cheng and the others did not show up, and even people knew that something must have happened.
There was originally a relative balance among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. The Cen family had previously voted for the Chen and Shi alliance, which had already slightly broken the balance.
But now that the Song family's strength has suddenly been greatly reduced, this balance can no longer be maintained.
“A group of robbery cultivators jointly attacked the Song family, except for Song Li who was in the late stage of foundation building and escaped.
The rest of the Song family were exterminated, and the remaining five families of the Thousand Island Alliance were furious. They issued a tracing order among the thousands of lakes and islands, vowing to track down the murderer. "
When Cheng Zuyuan spoke, Chu Ning's face showed a hint of sarcasm.
He asked thoughtfully:
“The Song family has always been on good terms with the Liu family and the Huo family. When the Song family was attacked, they did not show up to help defend them.”
Cheng Zuyuan said with a strange expression:
“It is said that on that day, the families of the Thousand Island League discussed the Thousand Island Competition.
Song Li, the ancestor of the Song family, left angrily for some unknown reason and took the Song family out of the Qiandao Palace.
Going directly back to the Song family's own island, this happened at night, and each family was beyond their reach. "
“What a whip.” Chu Ning chuckled.
“Although several foundation-building monks of the Song family are missing, there are still late-stage foundation-building monks like Song Li.
There should be a few familiar Foundation Establishment Island owners. This group of tribulation cultivators could force the Song family to be like this, or there must be late-stage Foundation Establishment monks to take action.
Either there are many foundation-building monks joining forces, who among the thousands of lakes and islands can have such strength. "
Chun Ning did not directly name the five family members, but Cheng Zuyuan could also recognize them.
In fact, no one with a little bit of brains among these thousands of lakes and islands could not guess it.
It just depends on whether anyone is willing to say it.
Chu Ning naturally didn’t want to pay attention to these things about dogs biting dogs with hairy mouths.
He turned to Cheng Zuyuan and said, "Okay, I know about this, and it doesn't have much to do with me."
Cheng Zuyuan immediately answered:
“Master, I’m afraid it has something to do with you.”
Chun Ning frowned slightly after hearing what the other party said.
