Chapter 325： The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the name of Chu Ning

Chapter 325: The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the name of Chu Ning

The golden spiritual energy overflowing from the golden spiritual seed entered Chu Ning's Dantian.

It was quickly refined by Chu Ning's Five Elements Chaos Art and turned into metallic mana.

At this moment, Chu Ning did not stop refining, and continued to activate the Five Elements Chaos Art to convert it into water attribute mana.

“It is relatively easy to directly convert metallic mana into water-based mana.”

Chun Ning was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy in the hidden spiritual veins underground.

Immediately, streams of pure water-attribute spiritual energy flowed along with the magic power and directly entered the body.

And the water-attribute spiritual energy was so rich that even if Chu Ning used all his strength to activate his mana, the absorption and refining speed could not keep up.

Soon, the rich water-attribute spiritual energy enveloped Chu Ning into a white mist.

Perceiving this scene, Chu Ning was slightly surprised at first.

Immediately afterwards, I felt great joy.

At the same time, the refining and transformation process just now is cycled.

“Oh? Dajin and Xiaojin are about to break through?” Chu Ning’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

“It’s very fast. There is no need to cross a large level to break through from the fifth level to the sixth level.”

Seeing Chu Ning with a faint smile on his face, Bai Ling immediately made a sound of joy.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

At that time, not only the beast crystals on his body were completely gone, but also he had broken through from the third level monster to the fourth level.

He did not tell Bai Ling how to practice the Five Elements Chaos Art.

Chuning still didn’t show up.

Immediately, Chu Ning no longer hesitated, and continued to activate the Five Elements Chaos Art, and began to induce the golden spiritual seed to continuously overflow golden spiritual energy.

Chuning nodded towards Bai Ling and said:

“Bai Ling, thank you for your hard work during this time. Nothing happened on the island, right?”

The aura of the late-stage Jindan monks that spread outside the training room has long since subsided.

“My retreat is mainly about refining gold spiritual seeds!”

The next moment, Chu Ning's figure finally walked out of the training room.

And it drives the water attribute spiritual energy in the hidden spiritual vein to be continuously absorbed and refined.

“No!” Bai Ling said with a smile.

What surprised Bai Ling even more was that month after month passed.

At this moment, so much pure water-attribute spiritual energy was directly aroused.

But Chu Ning was nowhere to be seen, which surprised Bai Ling.

I don’t know why he activated the Five Elements Chaos Art to convert the golden spiritual power directly into water-attributed mana.

It has been more than thirty years now. In the past thirty years, I have eaten a lot of monsters of all kinds, and I have even eaten a lot of corpses of fifth- and sixth-level monsters.

For half a year, there was no movement in the entire training room.

“Congratulations to the master for coming out of seclusion!”

For Chu Ning, who had experience in condensing metallic mana before, he knew that under such circumstances, completing the conversion of mana would be twice the result with half the effort.

She might have broken into the practice room to find out.

“It’s just that Da Jin and Xiao Jin fell into a deep sleep. They should be about to break through and advance to the fifth level monster beast.”

But what surprised Chu Ning was a little bit.

“Half a month ago, the master had already broken through to the late stage of Jindan. Why has he still been in seclusion and not come out yet?”

In total, it took Bai Ling more than twenty-five years to advance to the fifth level of monster beast.

It should be said that the water-based aura in this island is inherently richer than the metallic aura.

But as soon as he mentioned the golden spirit species, Bai Ling immediately understood and blinked his eyes and asked:

But it's normal to think about it. The two Golden Thunder Eagles woke up from their slumber before they advanced to the middle stage of Golden Core.

"What about you? Are you about to advance?" Chu Ning asked Bai Ling.

Since your breath is no longer exposed, why have you been in seclusion for so long this time? "

On this day, Bai Ling was still staying outside the training room. Suddenly, the restriction above the training room fluctuated.

Or perhaps both.

If Bai Ling hadn't believed that with Chu Ning's current level of cultivation, there wouldn't be any problem just breaking through to the late Golden Core stage.

Chun Ning is still in seclusion, and now outside the training room, Bai Ling is blinking with confusion on his face.

It is normal to advance to level 5 monster.

Bai Ling said with a smile on his face, then turned to Chu Ning and asked with curiosity:

“Master, you have broken through to the late stage of Jindan half a year ago, and I have only been with you for about half a month, and I have noticed that you have stabilized your state.

It's just that I have been practicing in seclusion for more than 20 years, so it doesn't seem like it has been too long.

The refining of the spirit energy can activate the aura of heaven and earth, so it is no surprise that the refining of golden spirit seeds can activate the aura of heaven and earth.

“Master, have you already refined the golden spirit seed? That spirit seed is said to be able to help monks break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Did you gain any special insights after refining it?”

“It hasn’t been completely refined yet.” Chu Ning shook his head.

For more than half a year, Chu Ning has been refining the golden spirit seeds every day, and using this to induce and absorb the hidden spiritual energy, he has finally completed the conversion of all mana.

This takes twice as long to refine the aura as it does in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.

This is naturally related to his stronger magic power.

However, even if Chu Ning spent six months refining it, only a small part of the Golden Spirit Seed was refined.

According to Chu Ning's speculation, even with uninterrupted refining, it would probably take nearly ten years to truly refine the entire Golden Spirit Seed.

By then, the third level of the Five Elements Chaos Art may have been cultivated to perfection, reaching the peak of perfection in the later stage of the Golden Elixir.

Of course, it is obviously not possible to continue refining for ten years without interruption.

With such an eagerness for quick success, you might end up going crazy, or even having your inner demons bite you back.

The reason why Chu Ning concluded that after refining the golden spirit seed is to reach the peak of the late golden elixir is also based on the judgment of proficiency.

【Five Elements Chaos Technique (mid-level heaven level), third level (10800/200000)】

【Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques, Volume 2, Second Level (60840/90000)】

【Alchemy, fourth level (64000/64000)】

The effect of the Golden Spirit Seed is indeed powerful. In the past six months, Chu Ning's Five Elements Chaos Art has been growing rapidly at a rate of nearly 60 points every day.

If you practice at this speed, it will only take about ten years to reach perfection at the third level.

However, after completing the conversion of mana, Chu Ning found that the speed of refining the golden spirit seed was significantly slowing down.

Even if you practice non-stop throughout the day, you can only increase it by about 25 points.

 And the kind of vision that aroused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth no longer appeared.

Now Chu Ning is refining the gold spirit seed, but he can't achieve the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like crazy.

It's just that it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth faster than ordinary practice.

However, Chu Ning also tried it. There is no conflict between refining golden spirit seeds and taking elixirs such as snow crystal zhi and elixirs that increase mana.

On the contrary, after taking Xuerizhi, it can also promote the refining of golden spirit seeds.

So in the coming time, he can safely rely on these resources to practice.

After briefly explaining the situation to Bai Ling, Chu Ning showed a look of deep thought on his face.

“As for spiritual seeds helping to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I haven’t had a very deep understanding yet.

After all, I still have too little spiritual energy on the refining gold spiritual seed. If I refine it all, I might gain some insights. "

After Chu Ning finished speaking, he immediately said to Bai Ling:

“Since Da Jin and Xiao Jin are sleeping, you might as well stay on this island and guard your home.

With your cultivation level and the existence of this formation, there should be no monks or monsters that can pose a threat in this inner sea.

I went to the Fairy City of Iceland to get a general idea of ​​the current situation in the Northern Cold Land.

At that time, let’s see if we can get the soul of an eighth-level water attribute monster to refine the water spirit sword magic weapon. "

Even though he has broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core, his magic power has become much more powerful, and he has many methods at his disposal, Chu Ning does not dare to go looking for eighth-level monsters easily.

After all, that is an existence comparable to the Yuanying monk.

Moreover, it’s still too dangerous to go to the open sea, and it’s not just eighth-level monsters.

However, these eighth-level monster spirits are really rare. As for whether they can be obtained from other places, we can only try our luck.

"Okay, master, go ahead." Bai Ling responded with a smile.

“In case I really can’t defeat him, at worst I can imitate the aura of the tenth-level monster, and I’ll probably scare him away.”

“However, this may attract late Nascent Soul monks, and we probably won’t be able to stay on this island.”

After Chu Ning finished speaking, Bai Ling immediately answered:

“Don’t worry, Master, that’s only in extreme cases.

This secret technique of simulating the breath of a tenth-level monster consumes a lot of money. I am reluctant to use this cold marrow bead casually. "

Chuning nodded.

Bai Ling did tell him that the secret technique of simulating breath consumes a lot of money, which is why Bai Ling has successfully mastered the secret technique.

In addition, there was help from the Cold Marrow Bead, but it had never been shown in front of him.

However, Bai Ling has simulated the breath of a seventh-level monster, but he does not need to use external objects.

Chun Ning has also experienced it. Even with his extreme sensitivity to breath and such powerful spiritual consciousness, he can't distinguish it at all.

The same goes for simulating the aura of a tenth-level monster.

After leaving the island under Bai Ling's care, Chu Ning used his spiritual consciousness to check and confirmed that there were no other monks around.

Just then he flew out of the island and flew towards the fairy city of Iceland.

After putting on the new robe, his divine wind escape speed is extremely fast and the mana consumption is not high.

Even though the island is only two thousand miles away from the Fairy City of Iceland, it won’t take long for him.

So he did not choose to go to the islands in the inland sea to use the teleportation array.

Flying along the way, Chu Ning also paid attention and found that there were not many monks in this sea area, especially the number of Qi Refining monks.

Even if there are occasionally some monks flying in the sea, most of them are foundation-building monks.

This is obviously different from when he was in this sea area more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, in the inner sea, Jindan monks were arranged to sit on various islands.

Monks are quite active when they go out to hunt monsters.

“It seems that something has happened recently. I had originally arranged to be stationed on the island, but later I left directly.

However, I don’t know if he has been blacklisted by the Changkong Palace. "

Chun Ning murmured in his heart, but after all, he did not live in the fairy city of Iceland later.

Thinking about it, Changkong Palace wouldn’t treat him any differently because of this matter.

However, he was originally planning to fly directly to the Fairy City in Iceland, but now he also planned to find out more about the recent situation first.

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning's consciousness spread out, and he soon sensed the presence of several foundation-building monks two hundred miles away.

Two hundred miles away, there were four foundation-building monks, two men and two women, flying away at this moment.

At this time, one of the square-faced middle-aged male cultivators flying in the front suddenly said:

“Have you ever felt that there is a spiritual consciousness locking us?”

"Someone is targeting us with their spiritual consciousness?" The other three were slightly startled when they heard this.

“I didn’t feel it.”

A few people shook their heads one after another.

They didn't know that after Chu Ning discovered them with his spiritual consciousness, he directly targeted one of them. Moreover, he did not deliberately conceal his spiritual consciousness before the foundation-building monk could sense it.

At this moment, he was sensing the positions of several monks, and then flew away towards them.

Chun Ning is also feeling the change in the intensity of his consciousness.

“One hundred and thirty miles!”

Chuning muttered the number softly.

Within a range of one hundred and thirty miles, the intensity of his consciousness did not decrease at all.

This distance has increased by thirty miles compared to fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, when the divine refining technique had just reached the fourth level of perfection, although he could only travel three hundred miles away, his strength was only unaffected within a hundred miles.

Speaking of which, Chu Ning has not stopped practicing the art of divine refining for more than ten years.

However, Chu Ning still tried it half a year ago and found that if he wanted to maintain the strength of his spiritual consciousness, the distance would only be about 120 miles.

And being able to break through to 130 miles now is naturally attributed to the qualitative improvement in one's own strength brought about by breaking through to the late Jindan period.

Although there is still no new manifestation in terms of proficiency, the improvement in the intensity of his spiritual consciousness is real.

The distance of two hundred miles was only a moment for Chu Ning.

The middle-aged monk who was the leader of the four had been uneasy since he was targeted by Chu Ning, urging the other three companions to quickly rush towards the fairy city of Iceland.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a ray of light flying towards him and others, and the aura on it was obviously much higher than that of himself and others, so he whispered in a low voice:

“No, there is a Golden Core cultivator. It seems that my induction just now was correct. The other party has been locking us with his spiritual consciousness.

In this way, this person should be coming for us. If anything goes wrong later, everyone should run for their lives. "

As he said this, the middle-aged monk's eyes clearly caught the figure flying towards him and others.

Immediately his face changed drastically, he secretly complained, sighed softly, and immediately sent a message to his three companions:

“I didn’t expect it to be him. Please don’t anger this senior later, otherwise we won’t have a chance to escape.”

Hearing what the square-faced middle-aged monk said, the other three looked at each other and wanted to ask more questions.

But the square-faced middle-aged monk no longer dared to speak randomly.

At this moment, Chu Ning had already arrived.

Just as Chu Ning stopped, the square-faced middle-aged monk immediately took a step forward, bowed and said:

“I’ve met the seniors.”

Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness has already sensed everything here clearly, and even the sound transmissions of several people were all transmitted to his ears in front of Chu Ning's powerful spiritual consciousness.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the middle-aged monk with a square face, and he asked lightly:

“Do you know me?”

The middle-aged monk with a square face was slightly stunned when he heard Chu Ning’s question, but he quickly said respectfully:

“I have met this junior once in Xiancheng City.”

“Have you seen me in Xianchengfangshi?” When Chu Ning heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and after recalling it for a moment, he asked:

“Have you ever seen me punishing the monk who wanted to seize something in the lower city, and then the city’s law enforcement team came to deal with it?”

Chun Ning thought about it and realized that this incident, which happened only more than ten years ago, seemed to be more impressive to other monks.

After all, he has not appeared in the Fairy City of Iceland for more than ten years.

The middle-aged man, after hearing Chu Ning's words, immediately showed a look of surprise.

It seems that Chu Ning didn't expect that Chu Ning would guess it right.

He immediately bowed and saluted again: "Exactly."

Chuning nodded and didn't think too much about it.

“In this case, you are also casual cultivators in the fairy city of Iceland, so it’s easy to handle.

I have been practicing in seclusion for the past ten years. Please tell me what major events have happened recently. "

"A big deal?" Upon hearing this, the square-faced middle-aged monk pondered for a moment, and then replied:

“Senior, if we talk about this fairy city in Iceland, there seem to have been only two major events in the past ten years.

One is that the Snow Fog Valley, which opens every ten years, has been closed for unknown reasons.

It was supposed to be opened again this year, but many monks waited outside the valley for two months, and the valley was not opened. "

"Is Snow Mist Valley closed or not open?" Chu Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Snow Mist Valley is opened every ten years, which is extremely regular. Chu Ning has experienced it three times in the Fairy City of Iceland before.

The first time he came to the Fairy City in Iceland was just eight years ago. Instead of joining in the fun, he went to the Central Sea area to hunt various monsters.

Even accidentally obtained Snow Crystal Zhi from the elders of the Phantom Sect and a casual cultivator.

Chuning participated the second time, and that was when something happened in Xuewu Valley.

As for the subsequent two times, Chu Ning was in retreat and did not participate.

Finding it all together, it is true that Snow Mist Valley will be opened again this year.

The square-faced middle-aged monk continued at this moment: "Later I heard rumors from monks that the Snow Fog Valley will be closed every three to five hundred years.

It seems like there is something else to say behind this.

Just the specific time and reason, no one can say for sure. "

Chuning nodded and asked: "What about the second thing?"

“The second thing is actually not a major event in the Fairy City of Iceland, but a major event in the entire Northern Cold Land.”

The square-faced middle-aged monk said with a somewhat solemn expression at this moment.

“Since half a year ago, eighth-level monsters have appeared one after another in the Zhonghai area.

And it’s not just one area, it appears in two sea areas: Iceland Fairy City and Haiyun Basin.

Hands and rocks have not been found near the strait where Hanyanzhou is located. "

“Is there an eighth-level monster appearing in the Zhonghai area?”

Chuning was slightly startled when he heard this.

You must know that before this, even seventh-level monsters rarely appeared in the Zhonghai area.

The gold and silver bird that Chu Ning and Chang Lingshan wanted to kill was in the outer sea area.

And judging by the meaning of this person’s words, it seems that there are quite a few.

Chun Ning thought for a while and immediately asked:

“Has there been any other news from the demon clan recently?”

The square-faced monk nodded.

“Generally speaking, the monsters are moving inward from the outer sea, except for the eighth-level monsters that appeared in the middle sea area.

There are also fifth-level and sixth-level monsters appearing in this inland sea area.

However, for the time being, it is still concentrated in the area relatively closer to the mid-sea area.

But as a result, many third- and fourth-level monsters were driven inward.

In the past two months, some monsters have attacked the island one after another.

Fortunately, there are senior Jindans stationed on each island, so the damage is not particularly serious.

It’s just that everyone is even more afraid to leave the island. "

Chuning pondered for a moment after hearing this.

Looking at this situation, the conflict between human monks and monsters is more intense than it was thirty years ago.

“Have the Yuanying monks on our human monks side done anything?” Chu Ning asked immediately.

The square-faced monk shook his head, "Until now, the Yuanying monk has not appeared, and no one has spoken.

However, in the inner sea area, there are some more Jindan seniors patrolling the Changkong Palace. "

Chun Ning felt a little surprised after hearing this.

After all, he has stayed in this cold northern land for more than forty years.

 I had contact with many monks in the fairy city of Iceland before.

So it is also clear that the reason why monks of different levels and the areas where monsters stay in the boundless sea and Xuefeng Mountains are different is because the Nascent Soul monks have reached some kind of agreement with the great demons in disguise.

Now the Yuanying monks in the entire Northern Cold Land are silent collectively, which is obviously not normal.

But thinking about it, these few are just casual cultivators of foundation building, and I’m afraid they don’t know the reason behind this.

It would be better to go back to the Fairy City of Iceland and see if you can get any more information from the mouths of those golden elixir monks.

Thinking about this, Chu Ning couldn't help but ask one more question.

“Have there been any other important things happening recently? The ones you know about Haiyun Basin and Hanyan Continent will also work.”

After Chu Ning said this, several people looked at each other, and a female cultivator behind said:

“There is another thing that happened in the past few years. I don’t know if seniors are interested in it.

I heard that a Nascent Soul cultivator once disguised himself as a Golden Core cultivator and went to Haiyun Basin and Hanyan Continent, specifically to attack the Golden Core cultivators.

It is said that this person is good at metal spells and his pair of iron fists are extremely powerful. More than ten or twenty years ago, the young master of the Phantom Sect and the two black and white demons of Biling in Hanyan City were struck in his hands.

After disappearing for four or five years, he became active from time to time in the past ten years, but he no longer targeted these large sects, but focused on some small sects and casual cultivators.

Now in the land of Beihan, everyone is shouting for beatings. "

When Chu Ning heard what this female cultivator said, her face was very calm, but her heart was quite uneasy.

Obviously, the person mentioned in this person's words is himself.

I think it was my attack on the black and white demons of Biling in Hanyan Continent that made the people of the Phantom Sect know about it.

And then connected together.

But the other party said that he had been active outside for the past ten years and had taken action against some casual cultivators from small sects. What was going on?

I have not left the island for nearly fifteen years.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning pretended to be casual and asked:

“This person actually dared to take action against the young master of the Phantom Spirit Sect. Why didn’t the Phantom Spirit Sect pursue this person since there were so many Yuan Ying monks?”

The female cultivator didn’t know how to answer, so the middle-aged male cultivator with a square face took over and said:

“It is said that more than ten years ago, several Yuanying monks from the Huanling Sect went to Hanyan Continent to hunt them down, and they also had some unpleasantness with the monks from Shenyin Valley and other sects.

But later on, when the monk caused trouble everywhere, no one from the Phantom Sect took action, which was quite strange. "

After hearing this, Chu Ning pretended to be interested and asked a few more questions.

But these people couldn't answer, so they had to give up.

He said a few words of gratitude and flew away directly.

It wasn't until Chu Ning disappeared for a long time that the square-faced male cultivator let out a long sigh of relief.

“Brother Luo, who is this senior and why are you so respectful to him?”

At this time, another female cultivator curiously asked the middle-aged male cultivator with a square face.

The other two people were also looking at him curiously at this moment.

After hearing this, the square-faced middle-aged male cultivator shook his head and smiled bitterly:

“Do you still remember that thirty years ago, something happened in the Snow Fog Valley, and the demon clan organized many monsters to enter the valley to kill human monks?”

Another male cultivator immediately said:

“Of course I remember that time when thousands of Jindan and Foundation-building monks died, but how can we not remember the major events in recent decades?”

After hearing this, the square-faced middle-aged male cultivator asked again:

“Then do you still remember the rumor that there was a middle-stage Golden Core monk who killed more than ten sixth-level monsters at the mouth of the valley and rescued more than 20 Golden Core monks?”

"You said, he...is that Senior Chu? So young?" The female cultivator who spoke before suddenly exclaimed in shock.

The square-faced male cultivator nodded and said:

“It’s him. This senior Chu killed the foundation-building monk in the Icelandic fairy city, and the Changkong Palace directly asked him to leave.”

“Fortunately, this senior just asked casually and didn’t cause any trouble for us.”

When the other three monks heard this, they looked at each other with joy on their faces.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

They knew very well that if Chu Ning really wanted to attack them, there would be no chance of escape.
