Chapter 34: Evergreen Art, Tenth Level!
Ning Daoran nodded: "The Snow Clear Grass is useless to me, so I plan to exchange it for the second-level talisman in Senior Sister Liu's hand. I wonder how many talismans these three Snow Clear Grasses can exchange for?"
Liu Ruyan immediately became nervous.
Lin Sheng frowned and said nothing. On one side was his good brother who was as close as life and death to him, and on the other side was his future Taoist partner. For a moment, he didn't know which side to help.
"How about this, Junior Brother..."
Liu Ruyan pursed her red lips and said, "I want all three stalks of Snow Clear Grass. Senior Sister won't take advantage of you. In addition to the second-level mid-grade frost talisman and the second-level low-grade earth thorn talisman, I will also add some first-level talismans."
As she spoke, she gently patted her storage bag, and more talismans filled with spiritual energy flew out.
"I still have three first-grade superior fire talismans, two first-grade superior cold wind talismans, two first-grade superior speed talismans, in addition to five first-grade medium-grade fire talismans and more than twenty first-grade low-grade talismans. These are used to make up the difference."
Her pretty face turned slightly red, and she took a deep breath: "Senior sister has almost emptied the talismans in her storage bag. The value of these talismans added together should be slightly more than the three snow grasses. The extra part can be regarded as a gift from me, your sister, to you for self-defense."
Lin Sheng immediately chuckled and nodded: "Good!"
Looking at the talismans on the table, most of which were high-quality talismans made from high-quality talisman paper, Ning Daoran's heart suddenly began beating rapidly.
He never thought that he could get so many talismans in exchange for just three stalks of Snow Grass. Originally, he even thought that it would be good enough if he could exchange three stalks of Snow Grass for that second-level medium-grade frost talisman.
"Can!"
Ning Daoran nodded immediately and presented the Xuejicao.
Liu Ruyan carefully put away the elixir, her pretty face flushed, her excitement almost uncontrollable.
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag and put away all the talismans. From then on, he had many more ways to protect himself.
He felt much more at ease. As expected, a sense of security is something we give ourselves.
Soon after, delicious food, magical wine and magical rice were served.
"Junior brother."
Lin Sheng said seriously, "In fact, there is another good news today. My True Yang Furnace Technique has finally achieved minor success. Looking at the entire True Yang Peak, there are no more than twenty disciples who can practice this technique to minor success."
"Congratulations, Brother!"
Ning Daoran's eyes lit up: "I heard that the True Yang Furnace Art is very difficult to practice. Even the eldest elder Gong Yang Yan has only cultivated it to the great success. It is really not easy for you to cultivate it to the small success."
"Indeed."
Lin Sheng was in a very good mood and drank the glass in one gulp.
Liu Ruyan narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked deeply at Lin Sheng.
The relationship between the two grew deeper and deeper. Ning Daoran saw it all, but he was not envious at all. Senior Brother Lin was cultivating Chunyang, and losing his virginity was like losing his skills.
Therefore, the deeper the feelings, the more uncomfortable it is to hold back.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran decided to expand the fish pond behind the courtyard. The two-acre fish pond was not enough to raise so many spiritual fish, not to mention that there was a little black fish in it that was eyeing them hungrily.
Outer gate hall.
An outer sect foundation building elder looked at Ning Daoran and said, "Want to open up a six-acre fish pond on the Qiongbi Peak to raise spiritual fish? Junior Brother Ning, this is not as simple as just a small piece of land. You have to know that every inch of spiritual land in the outer mountain is the property of the sect after all."
"Disciple knows."
Ning Daoran said respectfully: "Uncle Master, how about this? I will rent this six mu of fish pond, and in exchange, I will contribute three hundred kilograms of spiritual fish to the outer sect every year."
"Three hundred kilograms of spiritual fish?"
The elder who established the foundation had sharp eyes and directly made a big gesture: "Deal!"
So, Ning Daoran and Dabenlu started to get busy again.
Holding a hoe and a shovel, he practiced the Changqing Jue technique and dug out a large piece of soil. In just a few days, he opened up an extra four acres of fish pond, which he then watered and connected with the original fish pond.
After a new batch of fish fry were put into the water, the whole fish pond was sparkling and looked very beautiful.
Ning Daoran planted some lotus leaves for the spirit fish to inhabit. The big stupid deer was busy all day long, breaking up batches of green bamboo and rice stalks to feed the fish. The spirit fish grew very well.
"Little Blackie!"
Ning Daoran stood by the pond and coughed lightly.
“Squeak—”
The big black fish's head instantly floated out of the water, its tail swaying.
The spiritual energy is sufficient, and it has already reached the perfection of the initial stage of the first stage, and is only one step away from the middle stage of the first stage.
"not bad."
Ning Daoran looked calm and said, "Eat more spiritual rice and practice well."
“Squeak~~~”
The big black fish made a wave and sank into the depths of the lotus pond.
Ning Daoran actually still had a lot of expectations for this big black fish. Now he would feed it with spiritual rice and fish until it reached the late first stage. When Ning Daoran was able to refine pills in the future, he would refine more pills for spiritual beasts to take to help it break through the levels.
Once the big black fish breaks through to a second-level spirit beast, it will be a completely different concept. The combat power of a second-level spirit beast is comparable to that of the early stage of foundation building, or even slightly stronger.
By that time, Ning Daoran and Dabenlu should have already established their foundations, so...
Three people from one family have established their foundation, and they are so powerful in Shanyang County!
…
A few months later.
Having accumulated a lot of time for intensive practice, Ning Daoran decided to practice the Changqing Jue again.
After all, the Evergreen Art is his basic skill, providing him with an endless supply of evergreen magic power. In fact, after completing the Body Tempering Art, the priority of practicing the Evergreen Art has naturally ranked first!
In the secret room that was twenty feet deep, Ning Daoran sat on the ground, pouring all his time into the Changqing Jue technique.
[In the 2400th year, the Evergreen Technique remains unmoved. The seventh level seems to be your limit, but you feel that you can still try harder, so you don’t slack off at all.]
[In the fifth thousand one hundred and sixty years, under the endless vitality nourishment of the Evergreen Art, you still look like a teenager, but the fatigue and aging in your heart have been tormenting you]
[A neighbor's kid asked his mother who the big brother next door was. His mother raised her hand and slapped him, scolding him: "Don't talk nonsense, you rebellious son, that's your great uncle!"]
[You sighed, a ray of light appeared in your mind, and the Changqing Jue took a step forward]
[Eternal Green Secret. Yellow Rank Top Grade (Eighth Level)]
[In the 8460th year, you sat in an ancient temple, discussing Buddhism with an old monk. The old monk said that donors should let go when they should, and immortality is a heavenly way that cannot be obtained, so why force it? You just smiled indifferently, and within a few days, the old monk passed away, and you clapped your hands and laughed.]
[In the 11,400th year, the power of the eighth level of the Changqing Jue became stronger and stronger. You felt your vitality becoming more and more vigorous, so you decided to go out for a walk.]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[You sit by the river, watching the green spring river and the river dolphins rising and falling, year after year, this world withers and prospers, life and death, only you remain evergreen and undefeated]
[Eternal Green Secret. Yellow Rank Top Grade (Ninth Level)]
"call……"
Ning Daoran breathed a sigh of relief. The Nine-Level Evergreen Art was already circulating within his body on its own, surging with vitality. His lifespan was visibly increasing linearly.
This feeling of outlasting an old turtle is so good! Keep practicing, and rush to the tenth level in one go! [In the 15,000th year, your Changqing Jue has been stagnant for 4,000 years. Your close friends who once threatened to practice Changqing Jue and achieve immortality have all passed away one after another. At this time, even their descendants are no longer alive.]
[You feel more lonely than ever before, but your desire for immortality drives you forward without looking back]
[In the 18,300th year, you were sitting in the ancient temple with fallen leaves all over your body. Just when the young monk thought you had passed away and was about to shout, "Donor Ning has finally passed away!", your body suddenly burst into endless vitality]
[Eternal Green Secret. Yellow Rank Top Grade (Tenth Level)]
[You have glimpsed the secret of the Changqing Jue. It turns out... this is just a fragment of this technique. You have a feeling that as long as you spend a lot of time practicing, you may be able to deduce a more complete Changqing Jue technique.]
[Time remaining for intensive practice: 2,144 years]
…
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. When he looked inward with his spiritual consciousness, he found that his body seemed to have transformed into a lush ancient tree, with countless vitality hidden within it.
At this time, as a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, his lifespan was as long as two hundred years, which was exactly twice that of other Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
It seems that I will end up living like an old turtle.
The tenth level of the Evergreen Art not only brings about changes in lifespan, but also brings about earth-shaking changes in one's own cultivation.
At this time, as long as Ning Daoran practiced the Changqing Jue, he could continuously absorb the scattered spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and eventually transform it into his own profound wood-attributed spiritual power.
If you practice the Flame Sun Art and the True Yang Furnace Art in the future, you will have the ten levels of the Evergreen Art as a foundation. You can ignite the wood-attribute spiritual power and convert it into fire-attribute magic power. You can imagine how terrifying it will be.
He frowned. The Changqing Jue could no longer be practiced. It would take a lot of time and effort to deduce the complete technique.
But I don’t know how much I have, so to be on the safe side... I’d better save a little more first, and don’t even try to save 20,000 or 30,000.
And once a complete set of skills is derived... the benefits to oneself are simply unimaginable! In a word, the time spent on intensive cultivation plus the Changqing Jue is simply invincible! Thinking of this, Ning Daoran laughed and stood up: "Old Deer, I'll go cook two dishes for you!"
“Ah~~~”
The big stupid deer who was practicing the art of shape-changing shouted happily. It just wanted to eat fish.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran decided to get rid of Ye Lao Mo's relics. To be on the safe side, he went further this time and went directly to several counties in the east of Qingzhou, where he disguised himself and sold his belongings in more than a dozen markets.
In the end, all those magic tools, spiritual tools, and unused elixirs were transformed into spiritual stones, totaling more than 8,000 pieces! In this way, Ning Daoran now had nearly 20,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag!
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the outer sect.
Now that we have spirit stones, we must convert them into combat power as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a great loss if we die one day by accident.
Two months later, Ning Daoran disguised himself as a thin man and went to Qingxiefang.
What a coincidence, it’s Chen Ping’er again.
Her face was as red as a peach blossom, and she smiled beautifully: "If you want something, I can lead the way for you."
"I want to see what kind of skills your house has, is that okay?"
"Of course you can. Please come this way, fellow Taoist."
In a shop, various jade talismans were arranged, giving a feeling of being overwhelmed by the variety of items. From the top yellow grade to the inferior ones, all kinds of skills were on display.
Ning Daoran couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought to himself, "Shit! I should have come earlier."
But after choosing and selecting, he found that these skills basically had flaws. For example, the top-grade Yellow-level Five Elements Thunder Technique not only required thunder spiritual roots, but was also incomplete and not worth the price at all.
As expected, martial arts were rare and precious. Even a powerful sect like the Chaos Sect placed the top-grade yellow-level Evergreen Art and the Flame Sun Art at an extremely high position. Disciples who had not made any contribution to the sect were not qualified to learn them.
Even if the top-grade yellow-level skills on display in the Huanglong Market are good, can they surpass those of the Chaos Sect?
Finally, Ning Daoran's eyes fell on several martial arts books that were considered useless by many cultivators.
There are actually several ways of escape!
