Chapter 314 Tool Man
Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Although the days in the Lieyang Taoist Palace were dull, Ning Daoran put the matters of Feng Yinghai and the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Art behind him and concentrated on practicing the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra, and his life was extremely fulfilling.
This year, he was 218 years old, and the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra had reached the thirteenth level!
The body tempered by the thirteenth level of Dragon Demon Heart Sutra is extremely solid, the Dragon Demon Power in Dantian has become more bloody and rich, and there is already a feeling of being in the middle stage of Dantian.
At this moment, Ning Daoran's physical fighting ability is probably stronger than that of an ordinary middle-stage Baodan!
And in this year, he adjusted his external cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining, which was about the same.
…
Early in the morning, the voice of an inner disciple was heard outside the medicine garden.
"Is Junior Brother Ning here?"
A burly inner sect disciple with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood outside the door and said, "I am Zhuang Xiang, a disciple of the inner sect Huoyu Hall. Following the order of my master, I have come to congratulate Junior Brother Ning on his promotion to the inner sect and joining our Huoyu Hall!"
"Fire Feather Hall?"
Ning Daoran frowned, this name looked so familiar, as if Senior Brother Lin Sheng’s hall in the Chaos Sect was also called this name. Could it be that Zhenyang Peak even copied the name of its hall from Lieyang Taoist Palace?
The elder Yang Yan really has... no copyright awareness at all!
"Huh?"
Deep in the medicine garden, Wu Qingyuan appeared and said, "Zhuang Xiang, are you sure Ning Cheng is qualified to join Huoyu Hall?"
"Exactly!"
Zhuang Xiang said respectfully, "Master Wu, Junior Brother Ning's name was chosen by Master. It was said that Junior Brother Ning had made great contributions when he participated in the training in Hanpo Valley four years ago. In addition, he is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Therefore, Junior Brother Ning was chosen to join Huoyu Hall and follow his fellow apprentices into Hanpo Valley to get an opportunity to build a foundation early."
"In that case..."
Wu Qingyuan looked at Ning Daoran and said, "Little Ning, I can't stop you from pursuing the path of foundation building. Just follow Zhuang Xiang. The resources at Huoyu Hall are much better than those at the Spiritual Medicine Garden anyway."
"yes."
Ning Daoran nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Uncle Wizard for taking care of me over the past few years. Ning Cheng thanks you!"
"Humph, this kid..."
Wu Qingyuan shook his head and smiled, waved his hand, and then walked back to the depths of the medicine garden on his crutches.
Ning Daoran returned the jade talisman, packed his luggage and followed Zhuang Xiang to Huoyu Hall.
…
The Fire Feather Hall is located on the second column of the mountain in the Lieyang Taoist Palace. The spiritual energy there is at about the upper level of the second order, which is already quite good, and is much stronger than that in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
Ning Daoran changed into the crimson uniform of the Fire Feather Hall disciples and lived in a simple cave with three people in a room. His other two roommates were Zhuang Xiang and the tall and thin Bao Lei. Both of them had reached perfection in Qi Refining and were only one step away from building a foundation.
Needless to say, they are all standard inner gate cannon fodder.
As a result, just three days after joining Huoyu Hall, Huoyu Hall issued a training mission, and seventy Huoyu Hall disciples were about to begin their training in Hanpo Valley.
According to the mission issued, this group of Fire Feather Hall disciples need to enter the Erdaogou area in the Hanpo Valley to look for opportunities, which is much deeper than the previous Linghan Mountains. It is conceivable.
Coincidentally, Ning Daoran was also on the list.
He sighed. How come the style of the Lieyang Taoist Palace... seems to be even worse than that of the Chaos Sect?
For a moment, Ning Daoran felt helpless. He left Chaos Sect at the age of 140 after reaching Dan stage. Now he was used to seeing various sects and immortal cultivation forces. However, he found that Chaos Sect had the best style. The other sects, even Lieyang Taoist Palace, which was one of the top ten immortal sects, had such a terrible style of doing things.
In order to obtain more Ice Soul Divine Stones, the Lieyang Taoist Palace really does not regard the lives of its disciples as their lives at all. The entire sect is running like a meat grinder, and the disciples are the pieces of meat.
"Junior Brother Ning."
Bao Lei showed a hint of caution and said, "Our target this time is Erdaogouzi, and Junior Brother Ning has just joined Huoyu Hall... You must be careful. If necessary... Follow Senior Brother Zhuang and I closely. Even if you can't pick up many Ice Soul Divine Stones, at least you may be able to save your life and come back alive by following us."
"That's right."
Zhuang Xiang said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Bao Lei and I have been to the Erdaogouzi area three times. Apart from a little frostbite, we returned safely each time. It will definitely be right to follow us."
"Okay, thank you two brothers!"
…
Time flies, and the day of trial is here in a blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of that day, more than seventy inner disciples of Huoyu Hall gathered together. Most of them had reached the perfection of Qi Refining. Of course, there were also a few disciples who were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. These disciples in the early stage of Foundation Establishment all regarded themselves as uncles and bossed the disciples in the Qi Refining stage around, without mentioning them.
"Junior Brother Ning, follow us closely!"
The moment the restriction was opened, Zhuang Xiang flew over and said, "Hurry up, we must reach Erdaogouzi before others and harvest the first batch of condensed Ice Soul Divine Stones!"
"Walk!"
Bao Lei summoned a flying magic weapon and rushed into the forbidden area with Zhuang Xiang at a low altitude.
Ning Daoran also took out a magical flying leaf, floated down above, and then followed his two brothers in the cold wind.
Soon after, they passed the Linghan Mountains and the cold ahead became even more severe. Zhuang Xiang directly transmitted his voice: "Two junior brothers, the cold air here is attacking the heart. There is no need to hold back. Immediately activate the Nine Sun Furnace Divine Art to the extreme!"
Suddenly, the three of them used their powers together.
Ning Daoran frowned. He had just entered the Fire Feather Hall and was promoted to an inner disciple, but the sect had not yet given him the fifth chapter of the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art. Therefore, the furnace fires of Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei, who were also at the minor level of the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art, seemed to burn more vigorously than his! Not long after, not only was there a biting cold wind in the air, but there were also pieces of hail mixed in the cold wind, and it was impossible to continue flying.
Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei landed on the ground together and summoned the Nine Yang Furnace Secret Art, forming a small flame field around them to fight against the severe cold, while Ning Daoran followed behind like a younger brother.
"There's something."
Zhuang Xiang used his magic power and raised his hand to suck out a small piece of Ice Soul Divine Stone from the ice smoothie. He wiped it and put it into the storage bag. Not long after, Bao Lei also found a piece of Ice Soul Divine Stone from under the ice and snow, and a smile appeared on his face.
The two of them were walking in front and were constantly gaining gains, but Ning Daoran, who was walking behind, gained nothing.
"Junior Brother Ning, please don't get separated."
Zhuang Xiang said in a deep voice: "There are monsters in the Erdaogouzi area. If the three of us gather together, we will have more people and those monsters may not attack us. If we go alone, we will easily be ambushed by the monsters and lose our lives here."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Bao Lei nodded and said, "That's right. In the previous training sessions, many brothers have suffered losses from acting alone. We must not repeat the same mistakes."
"Yes, don't worry, brothers."
Ning Daoran nodded. He finally understood why these two brothers were so enthusiastic. They were not taking care of him as their junior brother, but wanted to bring him along to increase popularity and scare away the monsters. However, they did not even think of sharing even a little bit of the Ice Soul Divine Stone they obtained with him.
It is said that the way of immortality values selfishness, but these two guys are too selfish and completely treat Ning Daoran as a tool.
…
An hour later.
The three-man team went deep into Erdaogouzi, where the cold became increasingly biting. Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei each took a pill to replenish their mana, and said nothing about Ning Daoran who was shivering with cold behind them. Moreover, the storage bags around their waists were bulging, as they had each obtained a lot of Ice Soul Divine Stones. In contrast, Ning Daoran still gained nothing.
"Two senior brothers..."
Ning Daoran frowned and looked ahead. He felt a fatal chill approaching with his golden elixir consciousness and said, "It's getting colder ahead. Let's go back or move sideways. We really can't go any deeper. I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."
"This place has just reached the middle of Erdaogouzi. The really large pieces of Ice Soul Divine Stone are all formed in the depths."
Zhuang Xiang showed a hint of displeasure: "Junior Brother Ning, do you want to back out? If so, Junior Brother Ning can leave on his own. Junior Brother Bao and I can go together."
"Junior Brother Ning."
Bao Lei sneered, "Brother Ning, do you think that following us and getting nothing is not the right thing after all? Humph, Brother Zhuang and I have both reached the perfection of Qi training. We are very considerate of Brother Ning by taking him with us. If Brother Ning has such selfish intentions... then we should go our separate ways. We don't owe you anything."
"In that case..."
Ning Daoran made up his mind and said, "I'm leaving. Take care, brothers."
"OK!"
Zhuang Xiang turned around, his eyes gleaming with icy coldness in the cold night: "In that case, Junior Brother, just take care of yourself!"
As they spoke, the two of them continued to move forward in the cold, looking for opportunities deep in the two ditches.
Ning Daoran turned and left, and before he had walked far he extinguished the furnace of the True Yang Furnace Art, and instead practiced the Eternal Green Art and the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra to resist the cold. The Eternal Green state of mind was not afraid of the severe cold, and the boiling blood of the true dragon refined by the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra was even hotter, so that Ning Daoran did not feel any discomfort at all while walking in Erdaogou.
…
Soon after, we reached the deepest part of Erdaogou.
Ning Daoran, dressed in a red shirt, walked in the snowy wind. With a glance, he saw a few flickering sparks appearing on the distant hills. They were the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Fire Feather Hall.
Unfortunately, those foundation-building cultivators did not dare to go deep into the heart of Erdaogouzi and returned early.
This is good, because the only person who has truly entered the heart of Erdaogouzi is Ning Daoran.
After turning around an ice hill, the front was full of sparkling stones! There, they were all Ice Soul Divine Stones! Ning Daoran came over, raised his hand and sucked back the Ice Soul Divine Stones one by one with the Changqing Jue. In the blink of an eye, a large pile of shattered Ice Soul Divine Stones appeared in the storage bag.
"Um?"
He frowned, and saw a huge monster appear on the ice hill dozens of feet away. It was a frost monster, late second stage. He knew that so many Ice Soul Divine Stones must have guardians.
But it was not suitable for him to kill it. The death of a demon beast in the late foundation building stage might arouse suspicion from the top leaders of Lieyang Taoist Palace.
So, use the Soul-Calming Book directly!
“Swish!”
A strand of tender golden vein flashed through the air.
Half a minute later, the demon beast in the late foundation building stage finally woke up. It was as if it had seen a ghost. It covered its head and roared and ran away wildly. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace!
