Chapter 178： Foundation Building Team

Chapter 178 Foundation Building Team

Chun Ning appeared at Thousand Fantasy Island one day later. He was well prepared and looked calm at the moment.

Two days ago, I heard Cheng Zuyuan say that there were rumors outside that the Thousand Islands League had blocked the access to Qianhu Qiandao.

And also intended to organize the foundation-building monks from Qianhu Lake and Qiandao to exterminate the "robbers", Chu Ning kept sighing in his heart.

If his guess is not wrong, I am afraid that killing the robbers is a lie, but looking for Song Li is real.

Chu Ning actually doesn't care very much about what the Thousand Islands League is planning. What he really cares about is.

In this case, I’m afraid it’s just like what Cheng Zuyuan said.

He cannot stay out of it.

Sure enough, someone immediately came to summon Chu Ning to go to Thousand Fantasy Island.

Although the words were quite polite, the Thousand Islands Order that came out clearly stated that those who would not participate in the purge would be treated as accomplices and be purged.

No matter how reluctant Chu Ning was, she had to show up.

There is a clear difference between a monk who is over 40 years old and a monk who is over 20 years old.

As soon as he appeared, everyone's faces became serious.

“You fellow Taoists are so complimentary. I think this fellow Taoist is several years younger than me.”

In total, he may not be a few years older than Island Master Zou. "

At this moment, two foundation-building monks from the Thousand Island Alliance are waiting to take everyone to search.

Hearing that Zou Huiqing had already explained it for him, Chu Ning stopped talking.

“Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chen!”

“Fellow Daoist Chu has just explained to us the reason why he practices the exercises. Fellow Daoist Chu is the same age as us…”

“I’ve heard of Taoist Fellow Chen for a long time. I heard a few days ago that Fellow Taoist was in retreat to build a foundation. I didn’t expect that the foundation building was successful so quickly.”

While a few people were chatting, two foundation-building monks, one old and one young, appeared.

As soon as the two of them came out, Zou Huiqing immediately greeted them familiarly.

Chen Xinming replied to everyone one by one, but his eyes fell on Chu Ning inadvertently, his eyes flickering slightly.

At the beginning, Cen Wenquan intended to match Cen Zijin to Chen Xinming.

Without saying anything to Chu Ning, Chen Xinming chatted with everyone for a few words, then turned to Wen Linghua and said:

“Uncle Wen, are we almost ready to leave?”

…

Chun Ning recognized the other party as an island owner named Zou Huiqing.

When Zou Huiqing introduced another young monk with handsome features and a lot of pride in his eyebrows, everyone's expressions became richer.

Hearing what Chu Ning said, everyone present had a little more expression on their faces.

 Chen Xinming showed the same expression as before, and his expression couldn't help but become a little arrogant.

Including Chu Ning.

Before Chu Ning could speak, Zou Huiqing immediately answered:

Several foundation-building monks talked to Chen Xinming one after another.

Chun Ning is naturally happy to be like this.

“Master Zou is too polite, Mr. Chu only looks young because of his cultivation, but he is actually quite young.

“This is Fellow Daoist Chen Xinming Chen, a rare cultivation wizard among our Qianhu Qiandao. He is only twenty-six years old and has successfully established the foundation..."

The other party is the son of the current head of the Chen family, and is known as the genius second only to Cen Zijin in this thousand lakes and islands.

This island is among the top ten islands, and this person is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.

“It turns out that our group is led by Daoyou Wen and Daoyou Chen…”

The older one among them, about fifty years old, with a goatee, is Wen Linghua, the owner of Sifang Island.

They were somewhat familiar with each other, so everyone was a little surprised and surprised when they saw Chu Ning.

After Chu Ning was called, he formed a small team with the other eight foundation-building monks.

The one who spoke at this moment was an early-stage foundation-building monk who was about forty or fifty years old and had a round face.

Among the thousands of lakes and islands, there are not too many foundation-building monks, but not too few, only about a hundred.

But Chu Ning heard this person's name from Cen Zijin's mouth.

“Fellow Daoist Chu showed his prowess in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands a few years ago, and now he has succeeded in building a foundation at a young age. It is really enviable.”

Chu Ning immediately waved his hand and said:

Chen Xinming, naturally most of the people present have heard of this name.

Obviously, foundation-building monks in their twenties are undoubtedly extremely rare in this thousand lakes and islands.

They had more or less guessed that Chu Ning had concealed his cultivation level before. In addition, he said that he was not too young, so everyone naturally paid less attention to Chu Ning.

Then introduce it to everyone naturally.

I heard this morning that this person has been in the early stage of foundation building for a long time, and has almost reached the middle stage of foundation building.

Wen Linghua is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, but when he heard Chen Xinming’s words, he immediately nodded in agreement:

“Xin Ming is right, let’s go.”

No one was surprised by this. The Sifang Island where Wen Linghua was located had a close relationship with the Chen family, so the Chen family followed suit.

It is normal to be polite to Chen Xinming.

The group of people immediately set off from Qianhuan Island.

“Our team is going to the islands including Pinghu Island, Qixing Island, Baini Island, and Shuangyue Island.”

On the way, Wen Linghua discussed the general arrangements with everyone.

After arriving at Baini Island, everyone was given a small device that could send signals.

“We will divide into two teams and enter the island. If we encounter any thieves, we will send a signal as soon as possible and the other team will immediately support us.”

When Wen Linghua said this, he paused, and then looked at everyone with deep meaning. "It is said that Song Li, the ancestor of the Song family, went crazy because of family incidents and killed many monks on several islands.

This person is in the late stage of foundation building. If you encounter this person, you must be careful, treat him as a thief, and send a signal for help as soon as possible. "

As soon as Wen Linghua said these words, everyone's expressions suddenly became subtle.

None of them are stupid. Obviously everyone understood the meaning of these words.

However, no one will actually tell it.

So Wen Linghua led a team and Chen Xinming led a team, and they separated after entering the island.

When distributing the money, we also took a little care of everyone's cultivation level.

Chun Ning, who had just established the foundation not long ago, was assigned to Wen Linghua's team.

Chen Xinming, on the other hand, brought a few monks who had been in the foundation building for a little longer.

The two teams searched Baini Island for a whole day, but found nothing.

So, everyone rushed to the next Shuangyue Island.

Everyone searched island after island for several days, but nothing was found.

On the ninth day, everyone entered Pinghu Island.

“Uncle Wen, it’s too slow for a team of five to search like this.”

As soon as he entered Pinghu Island, Chen Xinming immediately said:

“The spiritual consciousness in Pinghu Island is limited, so the search will be slower. How about we separate a little further and work in a team of two.”

After Wen Linghua heard this, his expression became a little hesitant.

“Isn’t it too dangerous for two people to be together? What if we really meet Song Li, who is a late-stage foundation-building monk…”

“Uncle Wen, don’t inflate other people’s ambitions and destroy your own prestige.”

 Chen Xinming smiled at this time.

“In this Pinghu Island, spiritual consciousness is limited, and even the use of spiritual consciousness by monks in the later stages of foundation building will be affected.

The main competition is mana. If two people join forces, they can resist for a short time even if they encounter each other. This time is enough to send a signal for everyone to arrive. "

Zou Huiqing on the side smiled and answered the conversation and said to Wen Linghua:

“Fellow Wen Daoyou, I think what Chen Daoyou said is reasonable.

Just don’t be too far apart when we search. Pinghu Island is huge. If we really have to search slowly as a team of five people, we may not be able to finish the search in a few days. "

Wen Linghua thought for a while and shook his head:

“It’s still too dangerous to work in pairs.

In this way, we are divided into three groups, Xin Mingyou, Daoyou Zou, Daoyou Chu and Daoyou Zhang, and multiple people are also taking care of you. "

Zou Huiqing is the strongest person among them except Wen Linghua. Another monk named Zhang Lu should be second only to Zou Huiqing.

Then two monks, Chu Ning and Chen Xinming, who had just established the foundation, were assigned to this group. Obviously Wen Linghua deliberately took care of this group so as not to make this group too weak.

When Chen Xinming heard this, although there was a hint of noncommittal expression on his face, he did not object.

He had no opinion, and it was naturally inconvenient for the rest of the people to express their opinions.

So Wen Linghua led a team of two others.

Then the remaining three people formed a team, and everyone dispersed and walked towards the depths of Pinghu Island.

Gradually we entered the bamboo forest.

Chun Ning and Cen Zijin had been to Pinghu Island once before, and had a battle with two monks here.

The peculiar phenomenon affected by the consciousness in Pinghu Island has long been understood, but at that time he had not built the foundation, and the consciousness was a lot weak.

Now, under normal circumstances, his spiritual consciousness can extend up to six hundred feet.

I can’t help but have the intention to give it a try.

Chun Ning took two steps slower and landed at the end, his consciousness quietly moving towards the back of everyone from time to time.

“When we first entered the island, the range of divine consciousness induction was weakened by about 60%. Now that we have gone a certain distance, it has been weakened to only 40%.”

Chu Ning murmured to himself that if he really wanted to go deep into the meteorite forest, he felt that it would be good to achieve a certain distance.

Thinking like this, Chu Ning immediately took back his consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness in this place is consumed very quickly, so he has to take his time to use it.

Since there are several people here, there is no need for him to check for anything.

However, while withdrawing his spiritual consciousness, his people also walked forward inadvertently.

Returned to the middle position slightly ahead of the recording.

This record looks like he is about the same age as Zou Huiqing, but a little shorter.

When he saw Chu Ning's behavior, he didn't say much, and his eyes were quite disapproving.

It has been nearly a day since I entered the island, and I have not discovered anything at all. There is no difference after walking in the queue.

In fact, no trace of anyone was found for several days in a row. Everyone felt that Song Li most likely left Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands through some other method.

Zou Huiqing also smiled and said to Chen Xinming:

“This Pinghu Island is not suitable for monks to stay for a long time. Going further through the ten thousand bamboo forest is the iron meteorite forest.

I once went there once not long after the foundation was established. Staying there for a long time will consume more spiritual consciousness. Even if there are thieves, they will not be willing to stay in such a place.

After all, Daoyou Chen and Daoyou Chu have just established the foundation. Why don’t we go deeper? "

After hearing this, Chen Xinming said rather disapprovingly:

“That’s not necessarily the case. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe he is hiding there.”

As he spoke, Chen Xinming quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Zou Huiqing shook his head and followed.

Naturally, Chu Ning and the two of them could only keep up.
