Chapter 340 Nangong Rou
One month later.
After trying to combine the five elements for a long time, Ning Daoran was disappointed to find that there was no change.
Not to mention fusion, there will even be an extremely strong repulsion between the skills that counteract each other's attributes, just like the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Art repels the Golden Tripod Profound Art, and the Eternal Green Art repels the Hou Tu Art. It is not easy to merge them into one.
Ning Daoran did not give up. He had a lot of time anyway, so he studied slowly.
If I can figure it out in the future, I will have a way to deal with the crimson demon and won’t have to be helpless like before.
…
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Ning Daoran has been studying the art of combining the five elements for a year.
On this day, a new tenant moved into the cave on the left. It was said that he was a Jindan early stage cultivator. Now he became Ning Daoran's neighbor. His name was Huang Yihan. In addition to being a Jindan early stage cultivator, he was also a third-rank low-grade puppet master! Ning Daoran had no talent for puppets, but he was quite fanatical about them.
In the afternoon, Ning Daoran came out of retreat and sent a visiting card to the cave next door. Not long after, Huang Yihan sent a sound transmission note and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ning, please come to my cave quickly. I have prepared spiritual tea and spiritual wine!"
Immediately, Ning Daoran took the big stupid deer to visit.
Huang Yihan looked extremely young and handsome, probably because he had taken the Guyan Pill. He looked very energetic.
"Fellow Daoist Ning!"
After Huang Yihan moved in, he learned that there was a third-level formation master living next door, and it was said that he was a third-level top-grade formation master. So he had to make friends with him. Formations not only have many wonderful uses, but if prepared in advance during a fight, it can also increase the chances of winning. Like talismans, they are indispensable things for cultivators.
"Friend Huang!"
The two of them each had what they needed and hit it off right away.
After tasting a pot of spiritual tea, the two began to get down to business.
"I heard that fellow Taoist has a very high attainment in the art of formations."
Huang Yihan grinned: "I am a casual cultivator, always alone, and sometimes I really feel the need for a powerful formation to carry with me. I wonder if Brother Ning can tailor a killing formation for me? To show my gratitude, I am willing to refine a third-level low-grade puppet for Ning Daoran. What do you think?"
“Excellent!”
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "That's what I meant! If we calculate it based on the cost of refining a third-order low-grade puppet, I won't take advantage of you. As a reciprocal exchange, I can refine a second-order high-grade Seven Killings and Five Poisons Formation for you. Once deployed, this Seven Killings and Five Poisons Formation is extremely vicious and is a must-have for killing people, silencing witnesses, and taking revenge."
"oh?"
Huang Yihan's eyes were bright. "That's great. How about a deal? I can refine this third-order low-grade puppet within a month. I wonder how about your Seven Killings and Five Poisons Formation?"
Ning Daoran patted his storage bag and said, "I have brand new stock. Daoyou just need to refine the puppet. The day the puppet is refined will be the day for me to trade with you!"
"Excellent, excellent!"
Huang Yihan was overjoyed: "If so, I will start refining the puppet immediately. Please wait for a while, Ning Daoran!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Ning Daoran left and returned to his cave.
But just as he landed at the entrance of the cave, he saw a woman in a white dress. She was extremely beautiful, like a fairy. She smiled at Ning Daoran, bowed and said, "I wonder if you are Fellow Daoist Ning?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Daoyou, who is it?"
"My name is Nangong Rou!"
The other party bowed and smiled, "I am the neighbor on your right. I have moved into the cave for more than a month. You have been in seclusion the whole time, so I did not disturb you. Now I have finally waited for you to come out of seclusion, and I want to come over to your house to have a chat. What do you think?"
"Since we are neighbors, we should help each other. Fellow Daoist Nangong, please come in!"
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves, opened the restriction on the cave door, and led Nangong Rou into the cave.
After serving the spiritual tea, the big stupid deer returned to the Lingpu Cave. Before leaving, it let out a voice transmission "Aoao", signaling the eldest brother to be careful and not fall into the beauty trap. It felt that this woman was not simple. If the eldest brother really wanted to challenge his weakness, he should not look for her, but women like Lin Man and the little junior sister.
Ning Daoran smiled slightly and did not comment.
This Nangong Rou is a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. She is only in the late Foundation Establishment stage but she dares to rent a third-order superior-grade formation. It is obvious that this woman has no shortage of spirit stones. Moreover, from the moment she entered the cave, Nangong Rou exudes a kind of seductive charm. She possesses some kind of charm technique that can make men involuntarily want to get close to her.
Ning Daoran saw all of this.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Ning is a third-level formation master."
Nangong Rou pursed her red lips and smiled, "You are so admirable. I am not talented. I am a third-rank low-grade insect master. I only know how to raise some spiritual insects, such as array-devouring insects and heart-devouring insects. I have raised some of them. If you are interested, you can trade with me using array techniques. This way, we can both get what we need."
"Fellow Daoist Nangong is absolutely right."
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, but he did not have much demand for spiritual insects. Array-devouring insects, heart-devouring insects, etc. were certainly what most cultivators desired, but Ning Daoran was the one who raised an army of fire-devouring ants, and these fire-devouring ants had been devouring and evolving repeatedly for hundreds of years, and were now not far from the legendary "adult forms", so they looked down on their younger brothers such as array-devouring insects and heart-devouring insects.
"Are you still alone, fellow Daoist?"
Nangong Rou had a smile on her lips and charming eyes, and she was full of charm.
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded.
Nangong Rou smiled and said, "After hundreds of years of cultivation, if there is no one close to you by your pillow, how can you be happy in this cultivation?"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked over with a faint fragrance. Her slender jade fingers brushed across Ning Daoran's shoulder and said with a smile, "Daoyou has a handsome appearance and a profound background. I liked you very much at first sight. If Daoyou doesn't mind, I am willing to serve you in bed, even if we don't become Dao partners."
Ning Daoran sat upright, not moved at all.
"All I want is to have something to rely on..."
Nangong Rou put her pretty face close to Ning Daoran's ear and said, "However, since I am yours, I will naturally hand over this formation outside my cave to you."
Ning Daoran looked straight ahead, but secretly complained in his heart, what a disgusting gold digger! "Fellow Daoist Nangong, Ning still needs to practice."
Ning Daoran stood up, exuding the aura of a mid-stage Jindan. He immediately pushed Nangong Rou away and said with a smile, "I won't entertain you today. I will definitely cook a few dishes to entertain you some other day. Goodbye, I will continue my retreat."
"oh?"
Nangong Rou frowned and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She had been practicing the art of seduction for many years, and was always invincible whenever she used it. Even a great cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage had once fallen at her feet. How could Ning Daoran, a mere cultivator in the middle Golden Core stage, resist him?
For a moment, Nangong Rou's eyes showed a bit of resentment. She decided to play the long game and said faintly, "Well, I am sorry for being so rude. Fellow Daoist, just stay in seclusion. I will wait for you to come out."
"Thank you!"
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves, and a burst of golden elixir spiritual pressure sent Nangong Rou out of the cave. Then he flicked his sleeves again, and the restrictions in the cave gathered. Out of sight, out of mind. Women like Nangong Rou should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
This kind of woman only cares about benefits. If he really slept with her, she might shout all over the city, "Master Ning Zhen slept with me but didn't even give me a hundred spirit stones", and so on. By then, Ning Daoran would be disgraced and wouldn't be able to survive in the future.
Not only would he be too embarrassed to see his junior sister again, but he would also be too embarrassed to meet Lin Man again in the future.
…
One month later.
Huang Yihan came to visit.
"Fellow Daoist Ning!"
Behind him followed a man in extremely thick iron armor, with a sharp sword hanging from his waist and a spear on his back that could be disassembled into three parts.
This man was the humanoid puppet made by Huang Yihan.
“Oh shit…”
Ning Daoran looked around the puppet carefully and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Awesome!" This Huang Yihan, the Yellow Puppet Master, is a man of sentiment. The humanoid puppet he refined is so exquisite that at first glance, one might even think it is a refined corpse with third-level combat power!
"This puppet is made of top-grade third-grade materials. As for this sword and spear... I asked a friend to make them. Although they are not treasures, they are at least second-grade weapons. In addition, this puppet has excellent speed and strength. It will never be at a disadvantage against ordinary early-stage Jindan. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
“Very satisfied!”
Ning Daoran was not stingy with his praise: "Fellow Daoist Huang's puppetry skills are truly amazing. I am amazed. I am more than satisfied with this humanoid puppet. I like it very much!"
“That’s best!”
Huang Yihan smiled and nodded: "Daoyou, where is my formation?"
Ning Daoran immediately patted his storage bag, took out six formation flags and formation plates, as well as a jade talisman for controlling the formation, and said, "A complete set of instruments for the Seven Killings and Five Poisons Formation is all here. The jade talisman contains the detailed formula for arranging the formation, and you will know it at a glance."
“Okay, great!”
Huang Yihan observed it carefully twice, and said with joy on his face: "If Daoyou needs a puppet again, I will definitely not refuse, but next time... Daoyou can refine a third-level formation for me, even if it is a low-grade killing formation, it will be great."
“That’s not impossible.”
Ning Daoran pointed at the puppet and said, "But the third-level formation consumes a lot of energy. If you want to exchange, I want five of these puppets. What do you think?"
Huang Yihan thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"
"good."
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled: "Ning already has a third-level lower-grade four-sided wind and thunder formation here. If you like it, go and collect materials and refine the puppet quickly. The day the puppet is completed, it will be the time for you and I to exchange formations!"
"Great kindness, great kindness!"
Huang Yihan was ecstatic: "But the materials needed for the five puppets need to be pieced together slowly, so please wait for a while, it may take ten years at most, or three to five years at least, and I will definitely gather all five puppets!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Huang Yihan left in a hurry, Ning Daoran was a little dazed. This person was so eager for the formation, could it be that there was someone in particular he wanted to kill and he had to kill him?
What a sin! Hatred is the root of suffering! (End of this chapter)
