Chapter 224: Coastal First-tier Cities
“Shua~~~”
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag and took out a piece of spiritual wood condensed from the demon tree in the late Jindan stage. The spiritual wood was still stained with blood, and there seemed to be flesh and blood wriggling inside. It was full of yin energy and was extremely creepy.
"Xiaoqing, go back to the flag. I want to start refining."
"Yes, sir!"
The lady in green twisted her delicate body and turned into a wisp of green smoke that disappeared into the green ghost flag.
Ning Daoran calmed himself down, then he spewed out a breath of Samadhi Fire from the Chilong Cauldron and began to burn the cauldron. In addition, he placed the spiritual wood across the top of the cauldron and also spit out a breath of Samadhi Fire.
The temperature of the Samadhi True Fire derived from the Five Elements Dan Fire was extremely high. Not long after, a sizzling sound was heard from the spirit wood, and there were even howls from the original body.
"Daoyou, stop burning..."
Ning Daoran ignored it completely and added another breath of Samadhi True Fire. Within a stick of incense time, he completely refined the soul of the demon tree.
Afterwards, after about half a day of refining, the spiritual wood became even more charred. Under the continuous burning of the Samadhi True Fire, the essence in the spiritual wood finally began to be refined, turning into drops of blood-red molten liquid that fell into the Chilong Ding.
“Sizzle~~~”
When the blood-colored molten liquid fell into the red-hot cauldron, it was like putting garlic cloves, ginger and onions into boiling hot oil. Green smoke rose up, and then the second stage of refining and purification began.
Although Ning Daoran was not a master of weapon refining, he had reached a certain level after all, and he had refined many things, which had invisibly raised the level of his weapon skills. At this time, re-refining the Green Ghost Flag seemed to have become something he could do with ease.
One day and one night later.
The spiritual wood turned into a piece of dead wood without any spiritual energy. The essence in it was refined into more than 1,400 drops of molten liquid and fell into the Chilong Cauldron. At this time, the original flagpole of the Green Ghost Flag had already melted and merged with the essence molten liquid, which was continuously refined and purified to form a boiling blood-colored liquid.
As for the triangular flag, after Ning Daoran refined it again, a wisp of golden texture appeared on the edge of the flag, and the Yin Qi contained in it was far beyond what it had been before! Even after devouring more than 3,000 souls, the power emitted by the Qingyi Niangniang had also improved qualitatively, and seemed to have surpassed the early stage of the golden elixir and reached a higher realm. At least what level it could reach depended on the situation after the flagpole was refined.
"rise!"
Ning Daoran put his index and middle fingers together and raised them lightly. Immediately, the blood-colored molten liquid in the Chilong Ding was moved, and turned into strands of liquid that seemed to have lost gravity, and began to drip and gather in the air continuously.
In the end, according to Ning Daoran's wishes, countless molten liquids continued to gather and solidify, turning into the shape of a new flagpole.
Above the flagpole, a series of eerie patterns emerged.
"go!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and pointed, the flag flew over and began to merge with the flagpole.
For a moment, the two extremely powerful yin energies collided and merged, and finally all obeyed the will of the Lady in Green.
Ning Daoran continued to refine it tirelessly. His golden elixir consciousness constantly chiseled and engraved the surface of the flagpole, and also constantly repaired the defects on the flag, making the flag look more like a treasure made by a master.
This process was extremely long, and after many revisions, it finally took shape after half a day.
“Snap!”
Ning Daoran gently opened his hand and held the newly refined Green Ghost Flag in his hand, his face full of joy.
The Green Ghost Flag at this time was emitting an extremely strong yin energy and the aura of a treasure, having already reached the level of a third-rank top-grade magic weapon. This surprised Ning Daoran quite a bit.
He had previously thought that he could only be promoted two levels at most, from a second-level top-grade spiritual weapon to a third-level mid-grade magic weapon!
After all, magic weapons are hard to come by. Even if the materials and souls have made great contributions, it is already quite good to be able to upgrade it to a magic weapon. I didn’t expect that it could reach the level of the third-grade upper grade!
For a moment, Ning Daoran was in a good mood, and the feeling of magic weapon +1 was great! Before, Ning Daoran actually liked a kind of fighting feeling, that is, before taking action, he waved the Green Ghost Flag, released Xiaoqing first, and let the Green Lady take the lead! After all, in Ning Daoran's mind, the Green Ghost was refined to be used as cannon fodder! But later the situation changed a little bit. At the beginning, the Green Lady could really kill the opponent in seconds, and it did play a decisive role, but later Ning Daoran's opponents became stronger and stronger, basically starting from the late stage of foundation building, and often in the late stage of golden elixir.
Facing such opponents, the strength of the Green-Clothed Lady is really not enough, especially when facing the Golden Core. The Green-Clothed Lady's paper-thin early Golden Core cultivation is simply vulnerable, and her offensive can be easily resolved by the opponent.
But things are different now. The Lady in Green has changed her appearance and is now a ghost housed in a top-grade magic weapon. Her real combat power is now equivalent to that of a slightly weaker evil spirit in the late Jindan period!
This kind of strength is enough to overwhelm an average early Jindan cultivator!
He could even fight back and forth with a Jindan mid-stage cultivator! He could even fight a few moves with a Jindan late-stage ancestor if necessary!
Ning Daoran looked at Xiaoqing deeply. After three days of absence, one should look at him with new eyes.
From now on, let her take the lead and be cannon fodder!
Anyway, the main theme of the world of cultivating immortals is to let a hundred flowers bloom. There are people who play with magic weapons, practice martial arts, refine corpses, raise insects, refine puppets, worship gods and ask ancestors to possess their bodies, etc. There are all kinds of things, and raising an evil ghost is naturally a piece of cake!
…
A few days later, the big stupid deer headed south.
Soon after, they left Huangzhou and entered the territory of Yizhou in the south of Xia State.
A tributary of the Mojiang River flows straight south along the map and will most likely merge into the Tianluo Sea in Yizhou's inland sea, which is completely consistent with Ning Daoran's route.
So, Ning Daoran stopped practicing and walked out of Lingpu Cave.
"Xiaobai, go make some soup."
Ning Daoran raised his hand lightly, and the twenty levels of the Evergreen Art turned into a strong arm that reached into the bottom of the river. In a blink of an eye, he fished out more than a dozen chopstick-long knife fish. These knife fish were alive and kicking, and although they didn't have much spirituality, they were delicious when stewed into soup and were more than enough to satisfy a snack.
"Yes, sir!"
Xiaobai smiled and nodded, then went to heat up the oil in a pan.
The big stupid deer ran around swiftly, picking up dead branches in the spring.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, took out an axe from his storage bag, and started chopping trees by the lake. As a thousand-year-old tree fell, he began to demonstrate his carpentry skills.
In less than half a day, a well-made canoe appeared by the lake.
“Ah~~~”
The big stupid deer's eyes widened, and he even praised his elder brother for being so awesome, and it was simply ingenious! Ning Daoran held the bowl of fish soup and said, "Old Deer, after you have eaten and drunk enough, let's set off. Let's go down the river and enter Tianluo Sea from Mojiang. What do you think?"
The big stupid deer naturally nodded repeatedly. As long as it could follow its big brother, it was willing to go anywhere.
In the afternoon, eat and drink enough.
Ning Daoran and Dabenlu boarded the canoe, each holding a paddle, and started paddling. In a moment, the canoe went straight down the river at an extremely fast speed, like a sharp arrow.
At the stern, Xiaobai, in a white dress, was making tea.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As a result, this strange scene attracted many people on the passing boats on the river to watch, but no one said anything. These people were obviously immortal cultivators, so they must not ridicule them, lest they bring about a disaster that could lead to their own death! ...
Not long after, Ning Daoran let the big stupid deer row the boat alone, and he lay on the bow and began to study the Jade Toad Demon Trapping Formation.
Although this formation is a second-level formation, it is extremely profound and difficult to understand. Fortunately, Ning Daoran has a solid foundation in formations. He got started in two days, mastered it in three days, and was able to try to refine it a month later.
So, two months later.
“Crash~~~”
Ahead, there was the sound of rapids. The speed of the canoe increased dramatically as it rushed down the river. Ahead was an endless ocean.
"We've reached Tianluo Sea!"
Ning Daoran stood up and said with an excited smile: "Hold on tight, don't fall off!"
“Ahhhh~~~”
Looking at the endless blue sea ahead, the big deer was also very excited. It had never seen such a big sea before, and it would definitely find a chance to take a bath in it later.
At one side, Xiaobai covered her mouth and chuckled. In fact, she quite enjoyed the feeling of traveling around the world with a man and a deer. Although it was glorious to be the king of the Five Saints Sect, she was not so relaxed at that time.
The section where Mojiang River flows into Tianluohai is extremely turbulent, with a drop of about one or two meters between the water surface.
"stable!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and cast a spell, and immediately a ray of indigo-colored Evergreen Magic power protected the hull, and then rushed into the Tianluo Sea with Ning Daoran and others.
Suddenly the sea water splashed everywhere.
“Ahhh——”
The big stupid deer spread out its front hooves and embraced nature to its heart's content.
Ning Daoran had one hand behind his back, looking like a senior expert.
After entering Tianluo Sea, continue south all the way to Bailong Immortal City.
The White Dragon Immortal City is said to be one of the five major immortal cities in the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. It is located on a fourth-order spiritual vein. There are caves for rent in the city, and there are many chambers of commerce and cultivators. It is an immortal city with extremely prosperous resource exchanges, far beyond the reach of the Extraordinary Book City and the Yellow Dragon Market.
For a Jindan cultivator like Ning Daoran, Bailong Immortal City is an excellent place to live in seclusion and practice. Not only is the cave quiet, but the resources are also by no means scarce.
If you are brave and diligent enough, you can even get good opportunities in the White Dragon Immortal City.
In short, hanging out in Fan Book City is equivalent to hanging out in a third-tier city, but going to Bailong Fairy City is equivalent to going to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with more opportunities and greater challenges.
…
Two months later.
The sides of the canoe were covered with moss, and the big deer's arms were almost tired from paddling all the way.
“Crash!”
Ning Daoran sat at the bow, unfolded a map, squinted his eyes and said, "We're almost there, Old Deer, try harder!"
“Ah~~”
The big stupid deer paddled frantically left and right.
Soon after, the coast came into view vaguely, and then a huge city appeared in the shadowy shadow. The White Dragon Immortal City had really arrived. It was like a behemoth crawling on the seashore. From afar, one could feel the fluctuations of powerful forbidden magic power, and there were even figures of monks flying back and forth above the city.
Ning Daoran was shocked. How awesome! A first-tier coastal city!
