Chapter 232 Jealousy
Second-grade superior puppet!
Ning Daoran's eyes lit up. He thought that Nalan Canghai might take out the best puppet to repay him for saving his life, but he didn't expect that he would do it so readily and without any hesitation.
A second-grade, top-quality puppet, its combat power is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
Owning a second-grade top-quality puppet is equivalent to raising an obedient late-stage foundation-building ancestor at home. Its value can be imagined.
In the Eastern Wilderness' world of immortal cultivation, a second-level puppet is enough to support an entire foundation-building family!
"Master Nalan, are you serious?"
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "A second-level high-quality puppet is worth a lot of money!"
"Of course I take it seriously!"
Nalan Canghai said cheerfully: "Compared with the grace of saving my life, this mere puppet is nothing. If I can refine a third-level puppet, I will definitely give it to you as a gift of thanks!"
Chen Qian said: "Senior, you have given my wife and me a new life. A mere puppet is far from enough. Please accept it, so that my wife and I can feel a little more at ease."
"Can."
Ning Daoran waved his sleeves, took the puppet and the control jade talisman, and said: "In this case, Ning will accept it. I also ask the two Taoist friends not to mention your life-saving grace anymore. Ning is a righteous cultivator, and I just did it for the sake of convenience."
Nalan Canghai nodded repeatedly, and then both sides exchanged pleasantries again.
Not long after, the couple left so as not to disturb Ning Daoran's practice.
…
Ning Daoran planned to refine the True Blood Pill, but he had been refining it too frequently during this period and some of the auxiliary medicines had been used up, so he needed to go to Qingxiefang again to purchase a batch.
So, Ning Daoran disguised himself as Jianjia Sanren and stepped into Qingxiefang in the afternoon.
When he took out the list of elixirs and expressed his intention to purchase at least one thousand of them, he immediately attracted the attention of the owner of Qingxiefang.
The owner of the shop is named Zhao Yuanlong, a middle-aged foundation-building cultivator who speaks with great vigor. He is very popular in Bailong Immortal City and it is even said that he is friends with the city lord, Long Zhuojun. He has made Qingxiefang's business very big.
"This fellow Taoist."
Zhao Yuanlong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Daoyou bought such a large amount of Frost Condensation Flowers and Seven Star Grass, could it be that you are going to use them to refine the True Blood Pill?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran nodded gently: "Master Chen, I wonder if your store has enough spiritual medicine?"
"Enough, don't worry."
Zhao Yuanlong knew it was a big deal, so he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me. I will personally take you to the warehouse to select medicinal materials. Although you are buying a large quantity, our Qingxiefang will never pass off any spiritual medicine that is not old enough as good."
"That's great, thank you very much!"
Soon after, he purchased thousands of spiritual herbs, spending more than 20,000 spiritual stones.
But these investments are nothing. After all, the meat of the Golden Dragon Carp that Ning Daoran captured this time is extremely large, and the number of True Blood Pills that can be refined at one time will not be too small. Compared with the True Blood Pills, some auxiliary medicines are really nothing.
Night falls.
Ning Daoran transformed himself into Jianjia Sanren and left Qingxiefang.
But just as he turned the corner, he found a small tail behind him. He immediately stopped practicing the Mingwang Divine Art and used his Jindan spiritual sense to investigate a little. He found an old man following him not far away, and he was also in the early Jindan stage.
It’s just that Ning Daoran’s soul was so powerful that after using his spiritual sense to investigate, the other party was completely unable to detect it.
The old man with the golden elixir had a big black mole on his nose, which was extremely ugly. Ning Daoran had seen this man's appearance in the Immortal City before.
If I remember correctly, this person is a Jindan elder of the Xu family.
The Xu family is the largest family in Bailong Immortal City. It is said that there is a Nascent Soul ancestor in charge. The Xu family occupies one-third of the industries in Bailong Immortal City and almost completely monopolizes the True Blood Pill business.
In Bailong Immortal City, the Xu family is behind the refining and sale of almost every True Blood Pill.
Could it be that... the Xu family has set their sights on him, and is afraid that his purchase of such a large amount of True Blood Pill medicinal materials will affect the Xu family's True Blood Pill monopoly in Bailong Immortal City? Ning Daoran frowned. The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. As long as you have huge resources, it is impossible to keep a low profile.
He dodged lightly, completely restrained his breath, and then used his body skills to make turns in the streets and alleys of the city. Finally, after a wood escape technique, his figure completely disappeared from the city.
"Huh?"
The Xu family elder who was in the early Jindan stage frowned. He didn't expect that the other party, who was only in the late foundation building stage, could actually get rid of him. The other party's means of hiding his aura was extremely extraordinary.
"Who is this person...?"
He groaned for a moment, still unwilling to give up, and lightly slapped the spirit beast bag. Suddenly, two spirit birds flew out, soaring into the sky in a blink of an eye, overlooking the entire city from the air, continuing to search for the man's figure.
Naturally, he couldn't find it, because Ning Daoran flew directly into his own cave in one breath, and transformed himself into the young but highly respected Ning Jindan!
…
In Lingpu Cave, Ning Daoran officially began to refine the True Blood Pill.
As the alchemy technique became more and more proficient, the success rate of refining True Blood Pills almost reached over 95%. In addition, approximately one True Blood Pill with five blood-colored danwen would appear for every twenty True Blood Pills.
This is called a top-grade True Blood Pill. Its effect on improving blood and qi is about 50% higher than that of the genuine True Blood Pill, but its price is directly doubled. It is simply incomparable to ordinary True Blood Pills.
After all, the same pill contains completely different blood, flesh and energy essences, and a warrior's body can only withstand one big pill during the process of breaking through, so naturally the more mellow the essence contained in this pill, the better.
Therefore, top-grade True Blood Pills and even better quality True Blood Pills are basically regarded as treasures by martial artists and cultivators who practice both martial arts and physical cultivation in the world. They are holy medicines for breaking through levels.
Unfortunately, the golden dragon carp that Ning Daoran caught this time did not weigh more than 100 kilograms. Due to the poor quality of the meat, he was unable to refine the legendary fine true blood pill. Among the finished products, several of the top-grade true blood pills had five blood-colored dan patterns that had begun to glow faintly golden, but it was still one step short.
But Ning Daoran was already satisfied.
This time, he refined a total of 256 True Blood Pills, of which 16 were top-grade True Blood Pills, which had already achieved his expected goal.
"Old Deer, come here and get the pills."
“Ahhh~~”
The big stupid deer rushed forward in one step.
Ning Daoran handed it several bottles of pills, giving the big stupid deer a total of sixty True Blood Pills.
The True Blood Pill is a large pill, which is different from ordinary pills. After taking an ordinary pill, the medicinal properties may only take effect for a few hours, but after taking a True Blood Pill, it can maintain blood and energy supply for at least half a month. In other words, within this half month, Big Dumb Deer's cultivation will be greatly enhanced.
Just like in some games you can get double or triple the rewards by leveling up, the effect may be even better.
In addition, Ning Daoran gave Xiao Heizi and Bi Shuigui fifty True Blood Pills respectively, and told them not to slack off and to practice hard, as the formation of the pill was just around the corner.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The three spirit beasts practiced separately.
Ning Daoran came to the Emerald Spirit Spring, looked at a five-jin golden dragon spirit carp in the spring, frowned, and used his power to control all beasts to tame it, and then began to communicate with its soul.
“Squeak~~”
In the water, the golden dragon carp swayed its body and made soft sounds.
Ning Daoran closed his eyes and felt the spirit and state of mind of the Golden Dragon Carp. This was naturally to solve the problem of small fish disturbing the nest. Although he had a fruitful harvest this time, the small fish disturbing the nest was really annoying. If there were no disturbance from these small fish, his catch should have been improved to a higher level.
"Squeak~~Squeak~~Squeak~Squeak~~~"
The Golden Dragon Carp rolled over and over, constantly explaining things to Ning Daoran.
The taste of the fish-attracting grass, the cold Chi grass, is indeed what all Golden Dragon Carp like very much. Of course, there are some exceptions, depending on the taste of each fish. Soon, Ning Daoran captured the information he needed most.
The small Golden Dragon Carp was extremely afraid of one thing, that thing was called Water Moon Sand! Water Moon Sand was a material used by talisman masters to refine cinnabar, and sometimes it could also be used as medicine to refine pills, so it was not a very rare and precious material.
The Golden Dragon Carp is extremely sensitive to this substance and will avoid it when encountering it, just like a poisonous snake is afraid of realgar and a cat is afraid of the smell of citrus fruits.
However, as long as the Golden Dragon Carp grows to more than 30 kilograms, its sensitivity to the smell of Shuiyue Sand will be greatly reduced, and it will gradually become less afraid of it.
Therefore, if we add fish attractant grass to the bait and also add some water sand as appropriate, can we solve the problem of miscellaneous fish disturbing the nest and can we only catch big fish?
Ning Daoran was overjoyed, as if he had seen a guiding light, and he looked forward to going fishing again! A few days later, he bought a large amount of Shuiyue Sand and re-prepared the bait.
Then I bought a 50-jin Golden Dragon Spirit Carp from Qingxiefang at a high price. As expected, the small fish avoided the bait mixed with Shuiyue Sand, but the 50-jin Golden Dragon Spirit Carp was not afraid of the Shuiyue Sand bait and ate it with relish, looking extremely unrestrained! It worked!
Next time you go out to sea, you will definitely gain a lot! …
A few months later.
Ning Daoran was watering the flowers in front of the cave to nourish his body and mind.
At this time, the city is filled with the fragrance of golden osmanthus, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
In the cave next door, a beautiful female cultivator with short hair walked out. She was wearing a long skirt and a shawl. It was Lin Man.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have prepared a table of food and wine. If you don't mind, would you be willing to come to Lin Man's cave for a small gathering tomorrow?"
She smiled lightly and said, "Anyway, I am a casual cultivator, and my fellow Taoist is also a casual cultivator."
"good."
Ning Daoran nodded. He knew very well that Lin Man’s main purpose was to exchange materials for refining talisman paper and cinnabar with him.
However, Lin Man's move made the three Jin brothers on the opposite side extremely jealous.
As everyone knows, Lin Man is a strange woman with a eccentric personality. Not only does she have extraordinary talent for cultivation and talismans, but her personality is also extremely incompatible. She has never taken the initiative to invite any male cultivator into her house. Ning Daoran is the first one.
"snort……"
Inside the cave, Jin Tian frowned and lowered his voice and said, "I thought Lin Man was such a noble woman, but I didn't expect that in the end she would still want to cling to a Jindan-stage master."
"Third brother, are you jealous?" Jinshan asked with a smile.
"I'm not jealous."
Jin Tian said: "I just saw through some things."
"Have you really seen through it?"
Jin Hai smiled meaningfully: "The Lord of White Dragon Immortal City, Long Zhuojun, is a late Baodan cultivator. He also pursued Lin Man, but Lin Man was extremely cold to this Lord. Let me ask you, if Lin Man really wanted to curry favor with someone, why did he choose Senior Ning instead of Lord Long?"
