Chapter 327: Chilled
Late at night, in a quiet courtyard.
A figure stood under the tree in the yard outside the door and did not leave for a long time.
Xu Baisheng had a distressed look on his face. Ever since he learned that Ning Daoran had cultivated the Changqing Guiyuan Jue to the fifth level, he had been feeling uneasy. He stood outside Ning Daoran's door for several hours without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Xu."
Ning Daoran opened the door and said, "Come in and have a chat."
"Okay, thank you, Junior Brother Ning!"
Xu Baisheng's eyes lit up as he walked into the living room.
Ning Daoran raised his hand slightly and set up more than ten restrictions in succession.
Xu Baisheng frowned, as if he was shocked by Ning Daoran's attainments in formations and prohibitions. He immediately set up three prohibitions and said, "Junior Brother Ning, can you let me take this trial?"
"Brother, this is for Junior Sister, right?"
Ning Daoran sat upright and said calmly, "I am not blind. I can see that Senior Brother Xu loves Junior Sister deeply. In fact, I am willing to help him. However, this trial requires the fifth level of Changqing Guiyuan Jue. Even if I want to give this opportunity to Senior Brother, will the Deputy Palace Master agree?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior Brother Xu, what does the Deputy Palace Master want to do with the Changqing Guiyuan Jue? I believe that Senior Brother knows some of the secrets. Even now, Senior Brother is still unwilling to reveal it to me?"
"The matter of trial..."
Xu Baisheng frowned, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this matter involves a lot of things. Without Master's order, I really can't reveal a single thing."
As he spoke, he asked carefully, "If Junior Brother really completes the trial, will he marry Junior Sister?"
"Won't."
Ning Daoran shook his head: "I only care about the sixth chapter. As for marrying my junior sister, I have never thought about it. Even if the deputy palace master really mentioned it, I will definitely refuse it."
"good!"
Xu Baisheng's eyes lit up a little, and he said, "If that's the case, I will do my best to help Junior Brother Ning fulfill Master's long-cherished wish during the trial tomorrow!"
"good!"
Ning Daoran nodded.
Not long after, Xu Baisheng left.
Ning Daoran lifted the restriction, glanced at the Dixin insect lying motionless on the windowsill, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Feng Yinghai had planned everything, but until now he still didn't mention the details of the trial. It seemed that he was still on guard against himself. However, Ning Daoran had more or less guessed something. The trial must be related to Junior Sister Feng Jingshan, and it might even be to completely cure Feng Jingshan's fire poison.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about so many things anymore. He would wait and see tomorrow and take things one step at a time.
…
The next day, early morning.
Feng Yinghai summoned the Lieyang Flying Boat early, bringing Feng Jingshan, Ning Daoran and Xu Baisheng with him. In addition, there were two late Jindan elders who were in charge of the flying boat. The group hurriedly left the Taoist Palace and headed straight to the northeast.
Not long after, the Lieyang Flying Boat landed in a cold and gloomy forest behind the Taoist Palace.
This piece of woodland was extremely strange. Although it appeared to be lush with vegetation on the surface, Ning Daoran felt a bone-chilling cold. In the center of the woods, there lay a cold pond.
When Ning Daoran released his golden elixir consciousness to investigate, he couldn't help but shudder slightly. The surface of the cold pond was calm, but the depths were extremely cold, like a mysterious place that led directly to the underworld. All of a sudden, a word emerged in Ning Daoran's mind.
The Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave! This name was accidentally revealed by Feng Yinghai before. This Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave has a lot to do with curing Feng Jingshan's fire poison disease! Everyone landed one by one, and the Fiery Sun Flying Boat stretched across the sky.
"Brother."
An elder in the late Jindan stage said respectfully, "My junior brother and I will set up a formation. Please don't worry about the outside things. Just concentrate on curing Jingshan's fire poison."
"Okay, thank you two brothers!"
Feng Yinghai clasped his fists and smiled.
Immediately, the two Jindan elders slapped their storage bags and set up a large-scale third-level medium-grade formation several miles away.
Ning Daoran took a glance and immediately understood.
The Purple Lightning and Green Frost Formation was also the city defense formation of the White Dragon Immortal City back then.
Feng Yinghai came to the side of the Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave, measured the distance repeatedly, then took out eight formation flags and eight formation plates, injected his Nascent Soul magic power into them, and quickly set up a blood-colored formation.
'Um?'
Ning Daoran frowned. This formation was so mysterious that he had never seen it before.
However, judging from the structure of the array plates, array flags, and those fine array patterns, as well as the array's laws and rules, it seems to be some kind of array that can transfer magic power. A similar array is recorded in the book "Secrets of Arrays" on the third floor of the Lieyang Taoist Palace's library. It's called the Heaven-stealing and Sun-changing Array, which is a large array that can transfer magic power and damage.
The formation set up by Feng Yinghai might be the formation that steals the sky and changes the day! ...
"Ningcheng."
After arranging the formation, Feng Yinghai looked over, his eyes full of kindness like a master, and said: "Now, I will not hide it from you. The reason why I want you to practice the Changqing Guiyuan Jue is actually to save Jingshan's life. Jingshan is suffering from fire poison. You know this. Many years ago, I learned that the depths of this Jiuyou Ice Demon Cave contain the legendary ice soul essence, and the ice soul essence can dissolve the fire poison and cure the fire poison disease!"
He paused and continued, "So, for Jingshan, I started planning this many years ago. If I want to completely cure Jingshan, I need someone to carry her deep into the Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave. However, the ice spirit energy deep in this cold pond is extremely powerful. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot face it directly, so another person is needed to protect her."
At this point, Feng Yinghai raised his hand and pointed at the formation he had just set up, saying, "This formation is called the Big Dipper Formation, and it can suppress my Nascent Soul's original power from a distance, but it requires a cultivator who has practiced the Evergreen Return to Origin Technique to the fifth level to be in charge. You only need to hold the magic talisman and practice the Evergreen Return to Origin Technique in the formation to ensure that Jingshan and I will be safe in the cold pond."
He looked at Ning Daoran earnestly and said, "Ning Cheng, if you can really cure the fire poison, you will be Jingshan's savior. I will naturally pass the sixth chapter to you, and let you be among the true disciples. Once you reach the golden elixir stage, you can compete for the inheritance disciple of my Lieyang Dao Palace! In the future, if you and Jingshan love each other, what's wrong with me betrothing her to you?"
Not far away, Xu Baisheng looked earnestly.
Ning Daoran immediately clasped his fists and said, "Since this concerns Junior Sister's life, I will naturally not refuse. However, I have absolutely no wishful thinking about Junior Sister. I hope that the Deputy Palace Master will take back your order. If I can fulfill my mission, I only ask the Deputy Palace Master to grant me the sixth chapter."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Feng Yinghai raised his hand and pushed a carefully made talisman towards Ning Daoran, saying: "This talisman is the guardian talisman of the Big Dipper Formation. When I take Jingshan down from the cold pond, you will stick this talisman on your body. Remember, you must never leave this talisman, otherwise Jingshan and I will be in trouble."
"Disciple will bear this in mind. Please rest assured, Deputy Palace Master!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ning Daoran immediately placed the talisman on his heart without any hesitation.
In fact, he had an impression of the style and core of this talisman. When he was in Bailong Fairy City, he often discussed talismans with Lin Man... Of course, it was mainly Lin Man who explained, and he studied with his eyes wide open. He had seen this kind of talisman at that time. It was not a guardian talisman, but the legendary substitute spell. The person who was affixed with the substitute spell would bear most of the damage suffered by the refiner.
Add to that this great array of stealing the heavens and changing the day... What a Feng Yinghai, it turns out that he has such a plan! Ning Daoran cursed in his heart, but his face remained calm. Feng Yinghai really used himself as a scapegoat. He was just a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. Even if he had the fifth level of the Evergreen Return to Origin Art, how could he possibly resist something as terrifying as the Ice Soul Essence? Seeing that he agreed, Feng Yinghai was overjoyed and said, "In that case, I will activate the array!"
"good!"
The next moment, Feng Yinghai cast several spells, and the Heaven-stealing and Sun-changing formation immediately began to operate. Wisps of clouds rose up, imprisoning Ning Daoran's body in place.
Not far away, there was a hint of pity in Xu Baisheng's eyes.
Whether this succeeds or not, Ning Daoran is almost certain to die.
"Two junior brothers!"
Feng Yinghai clasped his fists towards the two Jindan elders and transmitted his voice, "I'll leave the outside to you two junior brothers. If this boy makes any unusual moves, you two junior brothers can act accordingly."
"Don't worry, brother!"
The next moment, Feng Yinghai carried Feng Jingshan on his back, tied her tightly to himself with tender golden vines, and said softly: "Jingshan, are you ready? We are going to the Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave."
"father……"
Feng Jingshan looked at Ning Daoran, who was holding a substitute spell on his chest not far away, with her beautiful eyes, and could not bear it: "Is it really necessary to do this?"
"Dad will do anything to cure your illness!"
After Feng Yinghai said this in a voice transmission, he released his Nascent Soul magic power, immediately forced the water in the pool aside, and jumped up with Feng Jingshan, quickly falling into the Nine Nether Ice Demon Cave.
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Xu Baisheng said in a deep voice: "You can activate the Evergreen Return to Origin Technique now."
"good!"
Ning Daoran lightly waved his sleeves, and his foundation-building magic power surged. An Eight Trigrams Dharma Image appeared under his feet, and he had already activated the Changqing Guiyuan Jue.
Xu Baisheng frowned and hesitated to speak.
Ning Daoran should have been in the place where he was at this moment. In order to save Feng Jingshan, he would not mind dying. However, fate played a trick on him and he has now become a bystander.
Junior sister's fire poison is getting worse and worse, and time is running out.
At this time, Xu Baisheng just hated himself for having poor talent and not being able to practice the Changqing Guiyuan Jue to the fifth level before Ning Daoran.
…
Time flows bit by bit.
The Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun formation was turning, and wisps of icy air were silently derived, forming dense frost lines within the formation. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to below zero, and everything began to freeze.
“This is not good…”
Xu Baisheng looked solemn.
At a certain moment, with a "swish" sound, the substitute spell that Ning Daoran had placed on his chest began to tremble continuously, and a wisp of deep blue icy spirit energy surged out from the spell, instantly freezing Ning Daoran's entire chest with a layer of deep blue frost!
Ning Daoran was slightly startled.
Good man, it's chilling! Fortunately, there is only a first-class paper figure in the array.
