Chapter 160 Logistics Staff
The total time spent on practicing this pupil technique is not too much. After all, it is just a skill and has little to do with one's own cultivation level.
Ning Daoran stood up and walked out of Lingpu Cave.
At this moment, when he used the Cang Tong Technique to observe the world, he saw a completely different scenery.
Everything can be seen through!
In the fish pond, every lively fish is clearly visible without any obstruction.
Moreover, this kind of pupil technique can directly see through a person's cultivation level.
He only glanced at Chen Weimo and Chen Yuzhu on the second floor and quickly retracted his gaze, not wanting to look at them inappropriately.
…
Early morning.
When it is almost dawn.
"Hiss~~~"
Suddenly, Ning Daoran felt two consecutive slight pains in his soul, and the two souls outside had annihilated themselves.
"Did you succeed?"
He frowned, unsure.
But it is certain that the two souls annihilated themselves, so the chances of success are extremely high.
It turned out that the legendary "Holy Son" of the Jiuyun Sect was no more than this, and two first-grade paper figurines were enough to make him.
A few days later, the news finally came.
An accident happened late at night at the inn where the Jiuyun Sect members were staying. They were ambushed by two cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, one fat and one thin. Saint Son Dong Yu was killed on the spot!
The two assassins rushed forward with extraordinary bravery, and finally broke the restrictions on Madam Xingtong, Fairy Yunlan and other monks from Xiyu Pavilion, and then disappeared into the night.
Later, Master Jiuyun, who was in the late Jindan stage, personally came to Guangling City to track down the murderer, but found nothing. In the end, he could only return to the sect with Dong Yu's body with a cold face.
…
A few months later, Ning Daoran went down the mountain.
Xiyu Pavilion, the same as before.
"Fellow Daoist Ning!"
After seeing Ning Daoran, Chen Ping'er's eyes lit up.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I want to buy some talismans. Please lead the way."
"good!"
After buying the talismans, Chen Ping'er said, "Recently, Xiyu Pavilion has received a new batch of spiritual tea. Would you be so kind as to go to the private room to taste it?"
"Can."
Ning Daoran knew that the other party had something to say, so he didn't refuse.
In the private room, Chen Ping'er opened all the restrictions in the room.
Ning Daoran smiled slightly and added three more restrictions. He was now a third-rank low-grade formation master. The isolation effect of the restrictions he set up was definitely not comparable to the restrictions provided in the private room of Xiyu Pavilion.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen for returning to Xiyu Pavilion!"
Ning Daoran felt a little guilty: "Please forgive me for what happened last time. It was really beyond my ability."
"I understand."
Chen Ping'er smiled and said, "I don't know where these two great foundation-building masters, one fat and one thin, came from, but they were able to kill that devil Dong Yu. But their whereabouts are still unknown."
“It’s best not to know.”
Ning Daoran said: "If you offend the Jiuyun Sect, will they still have something to lose? The methods of Master Jiuyun are not comparable to Dong Yu.
Fellow Daoist Chen, since Xiyu Pavilion can be reopened, could it be that the feud with Jiuyun Sect has come to an end?"
"Yeah, kind of."
Chen Ping'er pursed her red lips and said, "Several major sects in Kuizhou have been vying for interests with the Jiuyun Sect, and the Chaos Sect's Sect Master Jiang Yu seems to have put pressure on them, so the Jiuyun Sect has given up on revenge against Xiyu Pavilion.
In addition, two months ago, the ancestor of the Changsun family, Changsun Wang, had decided to serve as the supreme elder of our Xiyu Pavilion, and two other Jindan families also joined.
We now have three Jindan in Xiyu Pavilion, but a lot of our profits are divided up every year, but there is nothing we can do about it."
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "That's good. It is extremely important for you to have a stable environment to practice."
"Exactly!"
In fact, there are some things Ning Daoran didn't say.
For example, Changsun Wang, the Jindan ancestor of the Changsun family, is said to be a Jindan who is very fond of fishing for women. The condition for him to become the supreme elder of Xiyu Pavilion is that Fairy Yunlan becomes his concubine.
Now, the Fairy Yunlan, who is coveted by the regulars of Xiyu Pavilion, has become Changsun Wang's exclusive lover.
Ning Daoran never pointed out this kind of unspoken rule. Why should he expose everything when the life of cultivating immortals is so difficult? Chen Ping'er is still just a manager in a district and has not been reused, which is a clear example.
The world of immortal cultivation has always been like this. It has always been an exchange of interests. If you have no value, even a dog won’t even look at you.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
Chen Ping'er said softly: "Actually, I have one more thing I want to trouble you with, but..."
"Fellow Daoist, please speak!"
"good!"
Chen Ping'er smiled, took out a storage bag and placed it on the table, saying:
"This is a complete set of medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill, just enough to open a furnace. In addition, there are 500 spirit stones for the furnace opening fee. I would like to ask you to refine the foundation-building pill for me. Regardless of whether the pill is successful or not, I owe you a favor.
Daoist friend, you know that refining foundation-building pills requires the background of a second-level middle-grade or even high-grade alchemist, and second-level alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills are extremely rare. What I am asking for is a private matter, and I cannot easily use the connections of Xiyu Pavilion, so..."
"how?"
Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "How can Fellow Daoist Chen conclude that I am a second-level alchemist and can also refine foundation-building pills?"
"It's just a guess. You bought too many spiritual medicines from me before."
Chen Ping'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ning, I will keep this a secret for you."
"All right."
Ning Daoran groaned, "In that case, I will accept the five hundred spirit stones for the furnace opening fee. Please choose a suitable location, and I will refine this furnace of foundation-building pills in front of you."
"good!"
…
A few days later, Chen Ping'er chose a location for refining the elixir, which was in a secret room in the backyard of Xiyu Pavilion.
The one who followed her to watch Ning Daoran making the elixir was her disciple Yin Muxue, and this matter had already been approved by Ning Daoran.
In fact, this foundation-building pill was made for Yin Muxue.
“Master…”
Yin Muxue looked at Ning Daoran's back as he was refining the elixir, and asked in a voice transmission, "Senior Ning... can he really refine the foundation-building elixir?"
"Shh, don't talk."
Chen Ping'er smiled and said, "I believe him."
She should believe it.
Ning Daoran has mastered the art of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, which he has acquired after hundreds of failed attempts.
Now his chance of successfully refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is terrifyingly high, close to 100%!
Not long after, a five-colored spiritual mist appeared above the alchemy furnace.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It's done!"
Ning Daoran opened the furnace, and immediately three foundation-building pills jumped out.
Among them, one was a useless pill, and the remaining two were bright in color, and they were actually genuine foundation-building pills.
"Okay."
Ning Daoran handed over three pills and said, "I'll take the five hundred spirit stones as well. Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, I'll send you off, Brother Ning!"
Chen Ping'er looked delighted.
A few months later.
Yin Muxue successfully established his foundation.
Chen Ping'er personally brought this favorite disciple to visit Qiongbi Peak, thanked Ning Daoran for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and promised that she and Yin Muxue would keep the matter of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill a secret.
…
The days became peaceful again.
Ning Daoran spent his days farming, raising fish, feeding insects and other things. His cultivation level improved little by little, and he continued to accumulate the foundation for forming a pill.
In this way, time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 118 years old.
If he were a mortal, he would have probably already seen off his sons and grandchildren by this age.
Inside the insect room.
Ning Daoran, who still looked like he was eighteen years old, threw lumps of blood food into the insect room. Immediately, there was a continuous squeaking sound, and a group of fire ants devoured the blood food frantically, just like a group of fireflies clinging to the blood food.
At this time, the fire ants have reproduced to about a thousand. Although their combat power is not as strong as that of the original mother ant, they are already quite powerful.
As long as Ning Daoran gives the order, this group of fire-eating ants will rush out together, and ordinary foundation-building techniques will definitely not be able to resist them.
Even if it is the early stage of Jindan, it would probably be extremely difficult to deal with.
A few days later.
News came from deep in the Huanglong Mountains that a new beast tide was brewing.
Due to the pressure from the Aries Demon King of the Five Sacred Sect, the living space of the demon clan deep in the Huanglong Mountains is becoming increasingly tight, and they have been constantly launching invasions into human territory.
As the number one sect in Qingzhou's immortal cultivation world, the Chaos Sect immediately dispatched a large number of cultivators to the north to build positions deep in the Huanglong Mountains to resist the attack of the beast tide.
That afternoon, the elders held a meeting in the Hall of Elders.
Gong Yangyan looked solemn and said, "The casualties on the front line are too fast. The sect master has ordered me to lead ten foundation builders to resist the beast tide. Is there anyone willing to go?"
Immediately, several young people who had established their foundation came out.
Meng Xiao and Lin Sheng were among them.
"Nephew Ning."
Gong Yangyan looked over and said, "I heard that you inherited the first-grade upper-grade formation from Madam Yuncui, and now you have found a new way and have become a second-grade lower-grade formation master. Is that true?"
"almost."
Ning Daoran did not deny it.
"In that case..."
Gong Yangyan smiled slightly: "You are not good at fighting, so it is not necessary for you to go to the front line, but the front line needs formation masters, so you can go with us. Junior Brother Ning, you don't have to fight with monsters, you just need to lead the sect disciples to repair and set up the formation.
In addition, all the materials obtained from killing monsters on the front line will be yours to prepare, what do you think?"
"Can."
Ning Daoran nodded: "If the sect needs it, it is my duty to help!"
Many of the fellow disciples smiled slightly, except for the chief disciple Meng Xiao who frowned.
…
Soon after, everyone packed up and set off for the northern battlefield.
Ning Daoran not only brought Big Dumb Deer and Little Heizi with him, but also the thousand fire ants in the insect room.
It takes a thousand days to raise an army and only a moment to use it. We can't just let these fire-eating ants eat and drink for free on the Qiongbi Peak forever.
Half a day later, they arrived at a battlefield shrouded in clouds and mist.
Gong Yangyan led Meng Xiao, Lin Sheng and others into the battlefield, while Ning Daoran stayed behind with a group of disciples.
"Uncle Ning."
The person who spoke was named Xiao Ze, an inner sect disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although his cultivation was average, he had profound attainments in the art of formations and was already a first-class, top-grade formation master.
He looked at the dilapidated second-level formation in the distance and said, "The outer part of this second-level low-grade Lengque Wushang formation is already seriously damaged. Several formation flags and formation plates need to be replaced. My disciple's formation skills are already superficial and I can't see any clues. Please let Uncle Master make the decision."
"You stay here for now. I'll go check the extent of the damage to the formation and the array."
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
After Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer disappeared into the night, they sank into the mud in the blink of an eye and disappeared directly into the earth.
Underground, after checking several flags and formation plates of this defensive formation, he found that they were indeed seriously damaged, but not beyond repair, so he listed some materials and gave them to Xiao Ze.
For a moment, when Xiao Ze saw the materials and refining methods, his eyes lit up.
With just one glance, he knew that Uncle Ning's attainments in formations were definitely at the second level! (End of this chapter)
