Chapter 118 Yuanyang Warm Jade

Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.

This year, Ning Daoran was sixty-five years old.

Although he still looks like a teenager, his mentality has been tempered a lot, and he can't wait to call himself "old man" whenever he meets someone.

Early morning, Qiongbi Peak.

Amidst the clouds, there is a strong spiritual energy between the peaks.

Ning Daoran was wearing a dark blue outer sect elder's uniform. He liked this outfit and it made him look more impressive than those earthy outer sect disciples.

Backyard, fish pond.

"Little Blackie!"

“Squeak~~~”

With a loud shout, the big black fish jumped out of the water.

At this time, its body was nearly ten meters long, but it was still a first-order late-stage monster, a real big salted fish.

Ning Daoran glanced at the storage bag and took out the last piece of black dragon meat.

This piece of black dragon meat weighs only ten kilograms, and it is the last piece.

"then!"

He raised his hand and threw the black dragon meat out, and the big black fish swallowed it in mid-air.

The next second, Ning Daoran's eyes showed hostility: "The last piece of black dragon meat has been eaten, why did you also advance to the second level? Do you really want to be at the table?"

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!”

The big black fish was so scared that its scales flipped up and it kept wagging its tail in the water, indicating that it didn't want to be on the table.

"Whatever."

Ning Daoran frowned and took out a dark black demon core from the storage bag. It was the second-level water-attribute demon core of the black dragon.

He flicked his finger and ejected the demon core, saying, "Swallow it!"

The big black fish opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the demon core in an instant. Suddenly, a huge amount of energy rapidly expanded in its body! It is conceivable how huge the demon power contained in the second-level top-grade water-attribute demon core is.

Ning Daoran calculated with his fingers and concluded that it would take Xiao Heizi at least half a year to completely refine the demon core.

This is good. If you feed the monster core, there is no need to feed it monster meat.

Moreover, the demonic power in the demon core is purer and easier to absorb.

Xiao Heizi was extremely lucky. Ning Daoran had made rich gains from killing monsters several times. There were more than ten second-level monster cores in his storage bag.

Xiao Heizi is lucky. A wild monster like him can actually receive such "rich" treatment. Even the spiritual beasts of a sect cannot be like this.

"Give you ten years."

Ning Daoran said calmly: "If you don't break through the level again, you will really have to go to the table. I will not break my promise this time."

"squeak--"

Xiao Heizi stood at attention in the water and saluted.

…

"Chen Weimo, check your progress!"

"Yes, uncle!"

Chen Weimo practiced the Changqing Jue technique, and although it seemed like he was working hard, his cultivation level actually did not improve at all.

"good……"

Ning Daoran's mouth twitched and he said, "Keep up the good work."

Chen Weimo was praised and left happily.

Inside Lingpu Cave.

The white deer was taking care of a few acres of purple jade rice. It galloped back and forth in the spiritual field, sticking out its tongue and screaming loudly.

Suddenly, all the pests breeding in the purple jade rice were engulfed by its magic power, flew into its mouth and were swallowed in one gulp.

It also flew to the edge of the pool, opened its foundation-building stomach, sucked in hundreds of cubic meters of clean water in one breath, and then galloped across the sky and earth.

Countless water splashes out from the tips of his antlers, continuously nourishing the spiritual field.

It calls it the Mobile Sprinkler, and it’s pretty proud of it.

Ning Daoran was too embarrassed to watch, so he walked to the front of the hut, sat on the floor, kicked off his Feiyun shoes, and stepped barefoot on the cool ground.

"Xiaoqing, come out!"

He started chatting with Lady in Green.

Suddenly, the female ghost that covered the sky and the earth appeared.

Under Ning Daoran's stare, her body continued to shrink, and finally became the size of a normal person. She knelt in front of Ning Daoran in a green skirt, with a pair of slender legs spread out.

To be honest, if it weren't for the heavy green on her face, she would still be charming.

Ning Daoran started to nag.

"As an evil spirit, you must not indulge yourself... (10,000 words omitted)"

"Humans have their own nature, ghosts have their own nature... (10,000 words omitted)"

"I have heard the teachings of the saints. If you hear them in the morning, you can die in the evening. Even though you are a fierce ghost... (10,000 words omitted)"

"Xiaoqing, Ning actually has great expectations for you, I hope you know (10,000 words omitted)"

"You need to devour more souls to practice. I have considered this, but it won't work this time. I will definitely do it next time (10,000 words omitted)"

"Xiaoqing, I see that you have a very good understanding, can you dance a song for Ning (10,000 words omitted)"

…

A few days later.

The Green-Clothed Lady was tortured to exhaustion, and when she learned that she could return to the Green Ghost Flag, she felt as if she had been pardoned.

She felt that this master was somewhat eccentric.

However, after a few days, Ning Daoran no longer woke up the Green-Clothed Lady.

She began to feel strange in her heart, and actually looked forward to Ning Daoran's chattering.

She felt that this master was different and was completely different from those filthy men in the world.

“Woo woo~~~”

She wailed sadly in the Green Ghost Flag and hinted at it again and again.

"Quiet."

Ning Daoran, who was practicing, just replied with a cold sentence.

…

This day.

Ning Daoran and Dabenlu went down the mountain and strolled around the Huanglongfang Market to see if they could find any bargains.

After walking around the market, the man and the deer felt disheartened.

There are no leaks in the market, only various tricks used to deceive people by passing off fake goods as genuine ones and inferior goods as good ones.

"Old deer."

After walking for a while, Ning Daoran frowned and asked, "Is someone following us?"

“Ah~~”

The big stupid deer nodded, it had discovered it a long time ago.

Following them was an old man in a grey robe, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining and looked to be around sixty or seventy years old. He didn't dare to get too close, and his eyes revealed embarrassment and difficulty.

When he saw Ning Daoran looking back, he immediately stepped forward respectfully, clasped his fists and said, "My name is Cheng Shuang. May I ask if you are Senior Ning, the head of the Qiongbi Peak?"

"It is Ning."

Ning Daoran nodded: "Daoyou, is there anything?"

"Yes, Senior, would you mind speaking with me for a moment?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Okay, let's go with Yipin Pavilion."

"yes!"

Back then, Ning Daoran was possessed by the late Jindan-stage Huanglong Zhenren in Yipin Pavilion. Although the attempt failed, he still remembered this place clearly.

After that incident, Yipin Pavilion changed its owner.

Basically, all the people who were originally involved with Master Huanglong have been "dealt with" by Gongyang Yan.

In the private room.

Ning Daoran set up a few extra restrictions, refused to be interrupted by the maid, and said, "You can talk now."

"yes!"

Cheng Shuang said respectfully, "I understand that you have been looking for rare materials such as Qiantian Fire Spirit Stone in the past few years.

As it happens, I have a material that is comparable to this one, and it is also a second-grade top grade. I just don’t know if you have a need for it as well.”

"Oh, take it out and let me see it?"

"yes!"

Chen Shuang gently tapped the storage bag, and suddenly a round, warm jade the size of a thumb emerged.

When Nuan Yu appeared in the private room, a warm feeling spread out, leaving Ning Daoran stunned.

"Is this... the legendary Yuanyang Warm Jade?"

Yuanyang Warm Jade is also a second-grade top-grade material for refining equipment and formations. It can be used as a substitute for Qiantian Fire Spirit Stone, and the effect will be better.

Because the essence of fire contained in Yuanyang Warm Jade is more refined, if the Fiery Fish Dragon Formation uses Yuanyang Warm Jade instead of Qiantian Fire Spirit Stone, the overall power will be even stronger! "Yes, it is Yuanyang Warm Jade." Cheng Shuang nodded.

“…”

Ning Daoran's eyes were calm and his expression was normal.

But in his heart, he was already wondering about Cheng Shuang's background.

It was no secret that he was looking for the Qiantian Fire Spirit Stone in the Huanglongfang City. At this time, Cheng Shuang suddenly appeared and took out the Yuanyang Warm Jade, which was better than the Qiantian Fire Spirit Stone.

This person must have some ulterior motive.

An intuition told Ning Daoran that there might be great danger hidden behind this matter.

"Daoyou."

He looked straight at Cheng Shuang and said, "I don't know if you plan to use this Yuanyang Warm Jade to trade for spirit stones or exchange it for something else. Please give me your advice. Even if it's the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will try my best to find a way."

"At my age..."

Cheng Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Even with the help of the foundation-building pill, the chance of successfully building a foundation is less than 40%. In fact, I have already given up the idea of ​​building a foundation a long time ago."

"So what do you want to exchange for the Yuanyang Warm Jade?"

"This matter is a little difficult to talk about, but I..."

Cheng Shuang gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, actually what I'm asking for is related to my daughter."

"Daoyou's daughter?"

"That's right. I have placed my daughter in a residence not far from here. You will understand everything when you see her."

"Can it be in Huanglongfang Market?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, lead the way."

After passing through several alleys, we came to a shabby alley.

Those who live in these shabby alleys are generally casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage with low levels of cultivation.

These people are like the bottom cells of the huge city, using their lives to provide basic nutrition for this behemoth.

In a remote house, Cheng Shuang pushed the door open and walked in.

Ning Daoran scanned with his spiritual sense and saw that there was indeed a girl lying on the bed, so he followed her in using a first-class paper doll as a substitute, and hid himself in the Lingpu Cave on the paper doll's waist.

"Lingyu, Dad is back."

Chen Shuang pushed open the window, and when the sunlight came in, the girl lying on the bed immediately squinted her eyes and put up her hands to block the sunlight.

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she was wearing coarse cloth, her beauty could not be concealed.

Eyebrows as dark as ink, eyes like stars.

Moreover, this woman looked weak and sickly.

When Ning Daoran swept over with his powerful spiritual sense, he was slightly startled.

This girl actually possessed a third-grade spiritual root! But her condition was not good. Her entire body seemed to be on fire, constantly burning and corroding her flesh.

Moreover, his cultivation level is only at the initial stage of Qi Refining, which is not like the cultivation level that a person with third-grade spiritual roots would have at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"Friend Cheng."

Ning Daoran frowned and said, "What's wrong with your daughter's body? At this rate, I'm afraid she won't live long."

"Exactly."

Cheng Shuang's expression darkened: "This is exactly why I asked you to come back and take a look. My daughter Cheng Lingyu was born with a third-grade fire spirit root. She originally followed a foundation-building cultivator to practice, but who would have thought...

When she had her first menstruation at the age of thirteen, she actually awakened her Fire Body... Her Yin body was in conflict with her Fire Body, so she needed to take Cold Dew Pills every day to survive, but..."

Cheng Shuang gritted his teeth and said, "I am just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. How can I afford to use the Cold Dew Pill to prolong his life every day? Therefore, I would like to beg you, Senior..."

"Dad, stop talking..."

Not far away, Cheng Lingyu, who was lying sickly on the bed, had tears in her eyes.

Ning Daoran frowned but said nothing.
