Chapter 140 Zhou Wuyou
"Brother Zhao, what's this?"
Ning Daoran came out of the courtyard to greet him. The big stupid deer beside him also barked as a greeting.
"Junior Brother Ning, Junior Brother Lu."
Zhao Lichen still looked like a modest gentleman, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I have been building my foundation for decades but I am still in the early stage of building my foundation. Therefore, I plan to travel abroad recently to find some opportunities to advance to the middle stage."
"What's wrong with the early stage of foundation building? I'm still in the early stage of foundation building after fifty years!" someone said shamelessly.
Zhao Lichen couldn't help but smile heartily, and said, "But Junior Brother is practicing the Changqing Jue, which takes a long time. Maybe he will have a chance to form a pill in the future. Senior Brother is slow, but he can't stand the time."
"It seems that Senior Brother has made up his mind. I wish you a smooth journey and a long and prosperous immortal path."
"Um."
Zhao Lichen smiled and nodded.
Ning Daoran asked again: "How long will it take for Senior Brother to return?"
"It could be three to five years at the shortest, or ten years at the longest. Anyway, once I advance to the middle stage of foundation building, I will come back."
Zhao Lichen was a little embarrassed: "I have been in the sect for a long time and I really don't want to leave."
"Brother."
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag and took out a second-grade superior speed talisman from it, saying, "When I went down the mountain to do a mission, my senior brother gave me a barrier-breaking talisman. This time, I will give you a speed talisman! Senior brother, remember, when you are traveling outside, don't be too stubborn. If the situation is not good, run away immediately. If you really can't run away, this speed talisman will come in handy. Please don't refuse it."
An extremely strong spiritual energy was surging above the talisman.
This second-grade, top-grade talisman made from fine talisman paper is of top quality and worth a fortune at first glance.
Zhao Lichen was a little dazed: "Junior brother, this gift is... too heavy, isn't it?"
"You're welcome, brother."
Ning Daoran rubbed the big stupid deer's head and said with a smile: "Brother, you brought me and the old deer up the mountain. In fact, you are our guide on the immortal path. It's what you deserve."
"good!"
Zhao Lichen immediately accepted the talisman, clasped his fists and said: "Green mountains are always there, green waters are always flowing, Junior brother, we will see you in the middle stage of foundation building!"
Having said that, he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the morning mist.
…
A few days later.
News came that Han Bing had advanced to the late stage of foundation building.
Being in the late stage of foundation building at over eighty years old meant that Han Bing had a chance to form a pill before the age of one hundred and twenty!
The entire Ziyun Peak was cheering for the promotion of this little junior sister.
The next day, Ziyun Peak held a small banquet.
Ning Daoran and Dabenlu were invited and gave some pills to the junior sister.
During the banquet, a senior brother from the Purple Cloud Peak who was in the middle stage of foundation building at the same table asked jokingly, hinting at something:
"Junior Brother Ning, you established your foundation earlier than Junior Sister Han. Now Junior Sister is already in the late stage of foundation building, but you are still in the early stage of foundation building. Is the scenery in the early stage of foundation building really that good?"
The other two Ziyun Peak's middle-stage foundation-building elders also smiled.
"Brother Lu!"
Han Bing frowned and said, "My Senior Brother Ning has his own practice plan, why does he need others to tell him what to do? If Senior Brother Lu feels that the food at this banquet doesn't taste good, he can leave."
"Junior sister, that's not what I meant..."
Senior Brother Lu looked embarrassed, and then immediately apologized to Ning Daoran.
Ning Daoran didn't take it seriously at all. He could kill this kind of guy with just one punch, so why bother with him.
…
About half a year later.
Once again, a major event occurred in the Chaos Sect.
Senior sister Jiang Yu successfully advanced to the late Jindan stage!
It was only twenty years before she was promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core!
Such a speed of improvement made the entire Chaos Sect excited! At this time, Jiang Yu, who was in charge of the magic weapon Thunder and Fire Mirror, was no less powerful than the great elder of the Jiuyun Sect, Master Jiuyun.
For a moment, as Jiang Yu broke through, the entire Qingzhou cultivation world was filled with a sense of impending storm.
Thirty-three years ago, during the battle between the righteous and the evil in Qingzhou, the Jiuyun Sect took advantage of the situation and turned the Fenhai Sect into a lower sect, swallowing up the three top spirit stone mines in Qingzhou! The only thing they relied on was that the Supreme Elder Jiuyun was a late Jindan.
Now that Jiang Yu has been promoted to the late Jindan stage, this has directly made Chaos Sect a leader among the first-rate sects. Together with the other three Jindans, it already has the power to compete with Jiuyun Sect.
Therefore, it is time for the Jiuyun Sect to give out some of the immortal cultivation resources that it has swallowed up in Qingzhou.
What's more, during the last Qingzhou competition, Gong Yangyan was almost killed in an assassination attempt, and the Jiuyun Sect might have been involved in this matter.
More importantly, Kuizhou is also in a precarious situation.
Several first-rate sects joined forces to contend against the Jiuyun Sect, forcing the Jiuyun Sect to shrink its strength and recall the late-stage foundation-building cultivators stationed in the spiritual veins of the Fenhai Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect.
In this way, it is the best time for the major sects in Qingzhou to counterattack.
…
Everyone thought that there would be a battle between the Chaos Sect and the Jiuyun Sect, but they didn't expect that the Jiuyun Sect would be the first to show weakness.
Half a month later.
Master Du Ye, a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm from the Jiuyun Sect, led a group of disciples to the Chaos Sect and signed an interstate alliance with Jiang Yu.
In the end, the Jiuyun Sect transferred two of the three top-level spirit stone mines it occupied in Qingzhou to the Chaos Sect.
In the name of suppressing evil, the Chaos Sect sent two late Foundation Establishment cultivators to assist the Soul Devouring Sect in controlling the spiritual vein.
As a result, the two giants of Kuizhou and Qingzhou formed a win-win situation.
The Jiuyun Sect made concessions and the Chaos Sect contributed manpower and resources, on the one hand maintaining the balance in the immortal cultivation world of the two states, and on the other hand continuing to maintain their crushing advantage over the demonic sect.
For a time, the Soul Devouring Cult's initial signs of recovery were directly suppressed.
The Soul-Devouring Demon, who was previously rumored to be about to return with his disciples to restore the Soul-Devouring Sect, has disappeared again.
It is said that the Soul-Eating Demon has also advanced to the late Golden Core stage.
He might have some chance of winning against Master Jiuyun alone, but now with the addition of Jiang Yu, the Soul-Devouring Demon can only lie dormant again.
…
The changes in the world of immortal cultivation had no effect on Ning Daoran.
But he keeps his eyes and ears open and is aware of the turmoil of various forces.
This day.
In the living room, Ning Daoran picked up the newsletter on the world of immortal cultivation that had just been delivered by Xiyu Pavilion and read it with great interest.
The headline news was that a Soul Devouring Sect elder in the middle stage of foundation building was killed by a righteous golden elixir deep in the Huanglong Mountains, which caused cheers from the righteous.
There are also a lot of small news items next to it.
For example, a certain foundation-building cultivator returned to his cave and found a demon beast mount parked outside. He rushed into the cave in anger and fought with his concubine's adulterer for three hundred rounds before being subdued.
Or maybe a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator led his family cultivators to capture a first-grade superior spiritual vein, but they didn't expect that the vein was guarded by a second-grade early stage demon beast, and the Qi Refining family was directly wiped out.
There is never a shortage of interesting stories in the world of cultivating immortals.
At the side, the big stupid deer also opened his eyes wide and read the bulletin of the immortal world with his elder brother.
Over the years, it has not only focused on the practice of shapeshifting.
He also did not forget to improve his literary literacy and learned a lot of characters from Chen Weimo. Although he could not recite poems or compose couplets, reading the court bulletin was no longer a problem for him.
“Uncle…”
Not long after, a figure appeared at the door. It was Chen Weimo.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She looked a little solemn.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Um."
Chen Weimo nodded: "Old Ma... passed away an incense stick ago... The Ma family is right at the door, do you want to meet them, uncle?"
"knew."
Ning Daoran walked out of the courtyard.
"Peak Master!"
A group of people were kneeling outside, all of them were descendants of Ma Quanyou.
Although Lao Ma had bad conduct and impure purposes in cultivating immortals, he contributed half of the money he earned from growing spiritual rice to those so-called "fairies".
But after getting along for many years, I find that Lao Ma is actually a pretty good person, not a bad one.
There is only one reason why the Ma family came here, and that is the issue of whether to keep or go to Spiritual Field No. 78.
Ning Daoran is now the master of Qiongbi Peak, and he has the final say on who will take care of the entire spiritual field.
However, he didn't have a good impression of the Ma family.
Everyone was petty-minded, and there were endless fights between the second and third rooms, and there were even several cases of infighting within the family.
If these people stay in Qiongbi Peak, they will become trouble sooner or later.
What Ning Daoran needs is someone who can grow spiritual rice peacefully and who can be carefree and do his duty.
What's more, none of Ma Quanyou's descendants have spiritual roots. Even if they are asked to take care of the spiritual fields, the output of spiritual rice is not optimistic.
"Stop talking."
Ning Daoran said, "The money for Lao Ma's funeral was paid by Qiongbi Peak. Now that Lao Ma is gone, you should move out of Qiongbi Peak. Qiongbi Peak will subsidize 300 taels of silver to each of the three houses. There is no need to talk about other things."
"Didn't you hear?"
Chen Weimo looked calm and said, "I'll give you three days to move out of Qiongbi Peak. Each household will receive three hundred taels of silver from me."
A few days later.
No. 78 Lingtian is now deserted, with only a few dilapidated houses that were once inhabited by people left.
Although those mortals were resentful in their hearts, who dared to complain?
No one dared to provoke the peak master. After all, for a foundation-building cultivator, killing a few mortals was almost the same as stepping on a few ants.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran went down the mountain and went to Xiyu Pavilion to buy some auxiliary materials for the Baiyu Liuyin Array.
"Fellow Daoist Ning!"
Chen Ping'er was dressed in a flowing cloud-like plain dress, and was incredibly beautiful. After being promoted to the foundation-building stage, this woman's appearance became even more outstanding.
I don't know if it has benefited the Xiyu Pavilion's Grand Elder Bai Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
Ning Daoran was in a very good mood and didn't want to have anything to do with these women. He directly took out the list of formation materials.
"Wait a moment, Daoist friend. I will order someone to collect these materials."
Chen Ping'er smiled dimple-like, "Is there anything else you want? I just happen to be free, can I accompany you for a walk?"
"Okay."
The two walked side by side, and when they passed a corner, they heard scolding coming from the front.
A man wearing the uniform of an elder of the Chaos Sect was scolding a servant.
The servant, wearing the uniform of Lord Xiyu, kept bowing his head to admit his mistakes, saying that he had bumped into the other person accidentally.
Ning Daoran knew the foundation-building elder, a new outer sect rookie who had only been building his foundation for a few years.
But when he turned his gaze to the young man, he was stunned for a moment. He had an illusion that this person's appearance was gradually overlapping with that of another person he knew, and they were extremely similar.
"What's your name? Who are you to Zhou Qi?" Ning Daoran suddenly asked.
The young man was stunned: "My name is Zhou Wuyou... Zhou Qi is my grandfather..."
They are indeed the descendants of Zhou Qi.
Ning Daoran took a quick glance and found that this person possessed a ninth-grade mixed spiritual root. This spiritual root was quite complex, and its sensitivity to the wood attribute was close to the eighth grade.
It turned out to be a holy body for farming! "Senior Brother Ning, you are here too?" The outer sect elder recognized him.
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Junior brother, let me deal with this person, how about that?"
"Brother, I will follow your instructions!"
…
"Zhou Wuyou, are you willing to go to Qiongbi Peak to take care of the spiritual fields?"
"Yes, I do!"
Zhou Wuyou kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes. Cheap labor is here.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone~~~ (End of this chapter)
