Chapter 197: Green Water Turtle, Breakthrough!

"Ah?! Junior...how dare I..."

Sang Pingan shook his head repeatedly: "Senior, please don't joke. How can a junior take away someone's love..."

“Hmph~~~”

Ning Daoran smiled slightly. In fact, he really wanted to give it up, but Sang Ping'an didn't dare to accept it.

Although Xiaobai looks young and beautiful, her soul has actually been separated from her. Although that half of her soul is still in her body, it is wrapped in a layer of restriction.

It can't be considered a human being at all, although it should be possible...

But the taste is too strong!

Ning Daoran couldn't help but feel a little goosebumps on his back when he thought of this, and said, "I'm going to go to Fu Ping Fang. Sang Ping An, you stay in the shop and practice diligently, take care of the family business, and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, junior obeys your command!"

Sang Ping'an is a good lackey and has long been obedient to Ning Daoran's words.

…

morning.

The business at Fu Ping Fang was not too busy. Chen Ping'er, wearing a palace dress, personally accompanied Ning Daoran to select talismans, materials, etc.

This made many of the guys at Fu Ping Fang extremely surprised. They wondered who the young monk was and why he was always accompanied by his boss every time he came.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, what are these materials?"

Chen Ping'er looked at the list and for a moment wasn't sure what it was used for.

"The Thunder Formation of the Heavens."

Ning Daoran said: "A second-level superior formation, Ning wants to try to refine it."

This formation inheritance was searched out from the treasures of the Aries Demon Queen's cave, and it came from a second-grade top-grade formation master who was in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage.

Unfortunately, this second-level formation master set up two second-level top-grade killing formations and teamed up with another Jindan to lure and kill the Aries monster, but he still failed in the end.

The golden cores of the two great golden core cultivators were taken out by the Aries Demon Queen and refined in an instant.

It's a pity that the plan failed at the last moment, but the inheritance of the Across Heavens Thunder Array has been left behind, which can just allow Ning Daoran to fill in some of his gaps in the art of arrays.

Although he is a third-rank mid-grade formation master, he has learned more than just a few true formations. Formation masters who rely on one trick to conquer the world are quite despised in the industry.

A high-level formation master must be comprehensive and have a basic understanding of various formations! "It turned out to be this formation..."

Chen Ping'er smiled dimple-like and said, "What a coincidence. We at Fu Ping Fang have all the materials that Daoyou needs."

"That would be the best. Fellow Daoist Chen, remember to give Ning a discount."

Chen Ping'er covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

She liked the feeling of talking to Ning Daoran, it didn't feel strange at all.

Not long after, Ning Daoran gathered all the materials and bought a batch of monster meat. He then ordered a cup of tea in the private room, planning to go back for lunch.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound from downstairs.

"boom--"

After a loud bang, the South China Sea coral on the first floor of Fu Ping Fang was smashed to pieces, and a servant in the Qi Refining Stage was bleeding from the mouth and nose, looking extremely miserable.

The one who attacked was an extremely strong warrior with abundant blood and energy, and was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

For a warrior of this level of cultivation, beating a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is like an eagle catching a chick! "Master Feng, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

The Qi Refining stage servant who was beaten endured the severe pain, quickly stood up, and kowtowed repeatedly to the warrior.

"You know you're wrong?"

The warrior at the Condensation Realm who was called "Master Feng" sneered: "Is admitting your mistakes useful? Let your boss Chen Ping'er come out and have a drink with me, and this matter will be over!"

Ning Daoran came to the corridor, frowned, and asked a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator beside him: "Daoyou, who is this person?"

"oh!"

The cultivator said respectfully, "So it's Senior Ning... This person's name is... eh, what's his name... I forgot, but he's known as Fatty Feng. Fatty Feng relied on his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation to open a black market in the back streets, and he made a lot of spirit stones on a daily basis.

But after Fu Ping Fang opened... Fu Ping Fang's products were of good quality and low price, and Master Chen had opened up business channels with Kuizhou, so they also bought demon meat. So... Fatty Feng's main black market business was demon meat, so he would come every few days to provoke and pick a fight with Master Chen. "

“No way…”

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "A mere warrior in the early stage of the Condensation Realm can be dealt with by two Foundation Establishment Realms. Moreover, Master Chen is also in the Foundation Establishment Realm. How can we let him do whatever he wants? Perhaps... this fat man Feng has someone behind him?"

"Senior is very insightful!"

Seeing that the foundation building cultivator was easy-going, the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator also relaxed and smiled as he transmitted his voice: "The one backing Fatty Feng is actually the Feng family, a Jindan family in Moyang County. The ancestor of the Feng family is an early Jindan. Moyang County is only a few hundred miles away from Fanshu City.

Moreover, the black market business of Fanshu City can continuously supply spirit stones to the Feng family every year. It is said that there are at least four to five thousand spirit stones a year, so the ancestor of the Feng family attaches great importance to the black market business.

I even suspect that Feng Wuliang's constant provocations are most likely instigated by the Feng family's ancestor."

"I see."

Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.

It is even more impossible for him to do anything for Chen Ping'er. The two parties originally had a mutually beneficial business relationship, and it had not yet reached the level of a favor.

What's more, such a large Fu Ping Fang actually serves several foundation-building monks, otherwise it would be impossible to grow the business in Fan Shu City to such a large scale.

As expected, it was Chen Ping'er who stepped forward to resolve the problem.

She smiled like a flower and spoke softly, and with just a few words she made Fatty Feng speechless. In the end, he had no choice but to leave in anger.

Ning Daoran left Fu Ping Fang and he was too lazy to care about this trivial matter.

Unless someone really wants to beat Chen Ping'er to death in front of him, he might stand up and say "Whoever dares to touch my woman, I will touch his ancestral grave", then kill everyone and take Chen Ping'er home to warm her bed...

…

Sword forging shop.

"King, clang, clang~~~"

Dabenlu works day and night as a blacksmith and has learned all the skills from old man Ou Yeping.

Amid sparks flying, Ning Daoran and Ou Yeping evaluated the works together.

"Old man, do you think that Lao Lu's Wind and Thunder Hammer Technique has reached a level similar to yours?"

"How hot?"

Ou Yeping said enthusiastically: "Young man, don't be too arrogant... Although my disciple has good talent, he is only 60% of my level at most. He still needs to practice diligently!"

“Oh??”

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The big stupid deer shouted excitedly. He didn't expect that he had already reached 60% of his master's level. He was immediately extremely excited.

Ning Daoran saw clearly that when the old deer was forging iron, its speed, strength and divine intention in the hammer technique were already quite perfect. In fact, at this time, it had already practiced the wind and thunder hammer technique to perfection! It was a bit scary, but it didn't spend time practicing, it just practiced hard! Ning Daoran felt a little ashamed...

The old man was just being stubborn. In fact, he had not yet perfected the Wind and Thunder Hammer Technique. At this time, the Big Stupid Deer had already surpassed him.

The reason why the old man said this was probably to motivate the big stupid deer and see what kind of progress it could make after perfecting the Wind and Thunder Hammer Technique! Of course, the reason why the big stupid deer was able to perfect the hammer technique in a few years was not entirely due to talent, but also an important factor, that is, realm.

The memory, understanding, and comprehension abilities of a spirit beast in the Jindan stage are not comparable to those of ordinary spirit beasts.

Just like Ning Daoran today, the benefits brought by the promotion to the Golden Core stage are quite comprehensive. Now he can remember everything he sees, draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other instances. The flexibility of his thinking is far beyond what he could achieve in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even more so, if Ning Daoran were to take the college entrance examination at this time...

Tsinghua and Peking University are definitely not a problem...

…

Late at night, I drank some wine with the old man who was in a very good mood.

"Walk slowly, old man..."

He helped the drunken old man up the stairs and said with a smile, "Watch your step, don't fall. An old man over 200 years old, a great foundation-building cultivator, if he gets drunk and falls down, it will make the immortal cultivation world laugh out loud."

“You kid!!”

The old man laughed and scolded, "Alright, I am not old and my eyesight is not blurry yet, I won't die from the fall, Ning boy, you should go back and have a rest early, and I know you are staying in the city just to relax, but don't forget to practice."

"Don't worry, old man. My realm is higher than yours."

"You little bastard!"

The old man returned to his room laughing and cursing, and soon after he began snoring loudly.

Ning Daoran glanced at the moonlight and felt that his mood was particularly bright tonight.

Ou Yeping was a widower, he never married and he had no children. Apart from practicing Buddhism, he devoted almost all his energy to blacksmithing and swordmaking, which led to the current situation of his sword-making shop.

Ning Daoran admired such a pure person very much.

Unfortunately, when Ning Daoran took out the second-level longevity pill, the old man refused it.

Ou Yeping said that the favor was too great, and he might not be able to repay it in his next life. Moreover, he was tired of living after so many years of failure to make a breakthrough. Three first-level longevity pills were already a blessing, and he did not want to ask for more. When his life span was over, he would die without any worries.

"Squeak~~~"

Ning Daoran pushed the door and walked into the room.

Suddenly, Xiaobai, who was sitting in a chair and reading a saint's book under the oil lamp, stood up hurriedly, her pretty face slightly reddened, as if her little secret had been discovered.

"Master, you are back. I will fetch water for you to wash your feet and wait for you to go to bed."

“No need.”

Ning Daoran waved his hand gently and said, "I have never had the habit of washing my feet."

Xiao Bai's mouth twitched, as if it was true, but as a great Jindan cultivator, he said it so confidently, which was a bit...

…

Lingpu Cave.

Ning Daoran was strolling beside the fish pond and suddenly frowned. There was a spiritual energy swirling and rising in the depths of the pond, which contained extremely rich wood-attributed magic power.

It's a green turtle!

This little guy has been eating and drinking well in Lingpu Cave for several years, and is finally about to break through! "Little turtle!"

Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows slightly: "Float to the surface, officially break through! Xiao Heizi, protect the law!"

“Squeak~~~”

The water was flowing rapidly, and a huge figure emerged from the water. It was Xiao Heizi.

In the center, a green wave of water continued to emerge, lifting up the figure of the green water turtle.

The green water turtle stretched its limbs straight, its eyes solemn as it continued to exert its strength. Wisps of green magic power swirled around it, covering the water.

Sure enough, the Green Water Turtle is about to break through!

Ning Daoran was overjoyed. Once the level was broken, the Green Water Turtle would become a Level 2 monster, and its skin would be even thicker and its flesh even tougher! The Ning family army needed a meat shield like it that could take damage!
