Chapter 17: Body Tempering Technique, Return to Nature! (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Tianyi!)
Qingxiefang, the largest shop in Huanglongfang City, covers an area of several acres. It is said that Qingxiefang has a huge business and is spread all over the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world.
"This young master."
A young man in plain cloth appeared in front and said with a smile, "How about going to Qingxiefang? The shops in Qingxiefang are complicated and intricate. Sir, do you need me to lead the way?"
This was indeed Ning Daoran's first time at Qingxiefang, so it would be best if he had someone to lead the way.
"Okay, what's your name?"
He nodded and smiled: "I want to buy some spirit fish fry, do you know where to buy them at a reasonable price?"
"My name is Zhou Qi. I know about the spiritual fish. The spiritual fish in Gao's spiritual fish shop are plump and tender, and they also have fish fry for sale. Please follow me, young master."
Soon after, they arrived at a shop in Qingxiefang.
“Yo!”
The shopkeeper was a shrewd middle-aged man named Gao. His eyes lit up immediately when he saw Ning Daoran's outer disciples' clothes. He stood up and said with a smile, "Does this Taoist friend want to buy spirit fish?"
"Um."
Ning Daoran threw a tael of silver to a mortal guide named Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi's face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy. As a mortal who made a living by guiding immortal cultivators in the market, someone who was willing to pay him one or two taels of silver at one time definitely regarded him as a big customer.
He saluted repeatedly, then left happily at the wave of Manager Gao's sleeves.
"I'm not going to buy spirit fish."
Ning Daoran's eyes kept roaming over the plump and beautiful fish in the glass pond. When he had seen enough, he said, "Boss, I want to buy some fish fry and raise them myself."
"Oh, fish fry? Sure!"
In another pond, Manager Gao displayed a large number of fish fry that he had bred, including various species of spiritual fish.
The fish fry are not too expensive. Ten low-grade spirit stones can buy tens of thousands of fish fry.
"Daoyou."
Shopkeeper Gao said with a smile, "These fish fry are very delicate. If you are not careful, they will die. Daoist friend, do you have a spirit beast bag? If you want to carry the fish fry on a long journey, you will definitely need a spirit beast bag. Otherwise, at least half of the fish fry will die when you get home."
Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "So, Boss, you also sell spirit beast bags here?"
"Exactly!"
Shopkeeper Gao patted the storage bag on his waist, and brand new spirit beast bags flew out. "These spirit beast bags are made by the master of Qingxiefang. They are fair to everyone. Ten spirit stones each."
Ning Daoran had a strong spiritual sense and he could see through the slight flicker in the shopkeeper's eyes at a glance. The price of this spirit beast bag was about eight spirit stones.
He didn't argue: "Okay, I'll give you two spirit beast bags, and give me 10,000 fish fry. Here are 30 spirit stones. Keep them, shopkeeper."
"Okay, thank you for your patronage!"
Not long after, Ning Daoran put more than 10,000 fish fry into the spirit beast bag.
"Daoyou."
Shopkeeper Gao added, "These spirit fish are precious because they are extremely difficult to keep alive. They have extremely high requirements for water quality, food, and sunlight. I have a handbook on Spirit Fish Breeding passed down from my ancestors. If you need it, I can give it to you as long as you pay me fifty spirit stones!"
He looked like he was reluctant to give up something, and it didn't seem like he was acting.
"oh?"
Ning Daoran looked at the boss and immediately sneered in his heart.
You are a profiteer, you want to sell a crappy book for fifty spirit stones?
I, Ning Daoran, need this kind of breeding manual to raise fish? What a joke, what do these spirit fish want to eat, what kind of environment do they want, can't I just ask it directly after I tame one? ?
After politely declining, he left Qingxiefang and returned to Hundun Sect.
Only after leaving Huanglongfang Market did we hang up the safe sign, and indeed, everything went smoothly along the way.
…
Wind Stop Tower.
The foundation-building master Huang Chengyan gently stroked the plump and round grains of the green bamboo spirit rice and squinted his eyes to look out the window.
"Master."
A disciple pushed the door open and walked in.
"How is he?"
"Hey... this junior brother is also interesting. He went to Qingxiefang and bought some spiritual fish. It seems that he wants to raise fish in the outer mountains. However, he did not wear the jade token during the whole journey. He did not take out the jade token and hung it around his waist until he left the market and was on his way back to the sect."
"Oh……"
Huang Chengyan couldn't help but smile: "He is also a sensible person. It is rare to have such a polite and measured personality. You should learn from him."
"Disciple, I will teach you!"
"By the way, when Ning Daoran walks in the market from now on, you should keep an eye on him and don't let him get bullied. We in the Chaos Sect cannot afford to be wronged in the Huanglong Market."
"Yes, disciple understands!"
…
No. 77 Lingtian Courtyard.
The man and the deer began to work hard again.
Ning Daoran went to the outer sect to apply for land use smoothly. The outer sect elder who was responsible for approval took the fifty kilograms of second-level spiritual rice very skillfully, and then gave Ning Daoran a knowing look: "Nephew, you are really too polite!"
"What is Uncle Master talking about? As an outer sect spiritual farmer disciple, isn't it my duty to honor Uncle Master with some local specialties?"
"Oh my, don't do this again next time!"
Today, a piece of land of nearly two acres in the backyard has been approved as a fish pond and recorded in the sect’s land use book.
Ning Daoran "followed the emperor's order" to raise fish. In just three days, he dug up a fish pond with the brute force of himself and the big stupid deer. Then he directly drew water from the stream on Qiongbi Peak, filled the fish pond and put in the fish fry.
He tamed two of the fry, chatted with them every day to learn about their daily routines, and planted trees beside the pond to provide shade.
In addition, the feed for the fry is powdered first-grade spiritual rice. When the fry grow up a little, they start to be fed with shredded rice husks.
When the spirit fish is about one finger long, the bamboo leaves and stems of the green bamboo spirit rice are directly thrown into the fish pond, and the spirit fish are used to continue digesting the remaining spiritual energy. The entire breeding procedure can be described as scientific and reasonable.
The spirit fish grew bigger day by day and became one of the solid foundations of Qiongbi Peak.
Every time Ning Daoran went to the Contribution Hall to receive a mission or ask someone to do something for him, he would wear one or two plump spirit fish around his waist, and any elders, deacons, and senior brothers would be dazzled when they saw them.
For a time, Ning Daoran became well-known in the outer sect. Everyone who saw this kid would praise him, saying that he was a very sensible child, except that his aptitude was a little lacking.
Senior Brother Lin Sheng and Junior Sister Han Bing also come here often. Every time they come, they are served with spiritual fish and spiritual rice, which are local specialties, making them both feel a little embarrassed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Once, Lin Sheng was so embarrassed that he just carried 200 kilograms of green bamboo rice and walked away, his mouth almost opened with shame.
…
The days of farming in Qiongbi Peak are happy and fulfilling.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Daoran is 27 years old, and he has been in the Chaos Sect for seven years.
early morning.
Ning Daoran woke up from a secret room twenty feet deep, took a deep breath, and felt that the time had come.
The time spent on intensive practice has accumulated to nearly 40,000, and it’s time to rush to the last step of the Body Tempering Technique!
After all, whether it was the Evergreen Art or the Soul Searching Art, the improvement in his cultivation was not that great. Only the Body Tempering Art could allow him to take another step forward and enter the seventh level of Qi Refining, breaking through the late stage of Qi Refining! No matter how much spiritual rice he planted, no matter how many spiritual fish he raised, these would eventually feed back into his own cultivation and strength, otherwise they would just be resources on paper and meaningless.
He sat cross-legged, his mind clear, and poured his time and energy into the Body Tempering Technique.
[For 9,400 years, the Body Tempering Technique you have been practicing for many years has not changed at all. It seems that you have been doing useless work for the past 9,400 years.]
[In the 17,000th year, you refused to give up and began to polish your body with various spiritual sands. You bathed your whole body in an iron bucket filled with sharp iron sands. You were hit by a strong current under a waterfall hundreds of feet high. You let out a deafening roar that was terrifying, but it seemed to be of no use.]
[In the 24,560th year, your blood began to dry up again, and in the blink of an eye you turned into an old man. Your concubine left you again. You closed your eyes, as if you saw the end of your life. Your heart was clear but helpless.]
[In the 32,400th year, you, who were about to turn into a pile of yellow earth, suddenly opened your eyes. You looked at the sunlight shining on your face through the gaps between the dense leaves of the towering tree. The leaves were so dense that the sunlight could still penetrate a gap. Why can't you?]
[Suddenly, you comprehend a little bit of the divine secret, and your vitality feeds back, and your body instantly returns to the appearance of a young man! ]
[Seventy-two Transformations of Qi and Blood]
[Body Tempering Technique. Yellow Rank Lower Grade (Return to Nature)]
[Qi Refining Stage (Seventh Level)]
[Time remaining for intensive cultivation: 5,433 years]
…
“Sizzle~~~”
Wisps of green smoke rose from Ning Daoran's body. At the moment when the Body Tempering Technique was tempering his body to the point of returning to its original state, his body was undergoing extremely drastic changes.
Beneath the membrane, the fiery red blood flowed like burning magma, the muscles became tighter, and when he clenched his fists, wisps of spiritual energy naturally and densely covered his whole body, and his body was filled with explosive power.
What's even more strange is that when he activated the power of the Body Tempering Technique to the point of returning to nature, his entire body was covered with layers of golden light, and even his hair stood up in clumps, turning into long golden hair.
There were also wisps of tender golden spiritual power of the Changqing Jue rising up around him, like flames wrapped around his body.
"F*ck! Me!"
Ning Daoran looked at himself in the bronze mirror and felt a sense of déjà vu...
At this time, the Body Tempering Technique has reached its peak. If only this technique is used, the body can be tempered to the limit! The ultimate tempering brings the ultimate strength. Ning Daoran gently swings his arm. At this time, the power of his punch is probably at least equivalent to that of a warrior in the early stage of the Condensation Realm! ! If five points of strength talent are added, the power of this punch is comparable to that of a warrior in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm!
What does this mean? Basically, in a hand-to-hand fight, it should be no problem to kill a person in the early stage of foundation building with three punches.
Of course, the premise is that the other party does not have a protective spiritual weapon or a high-level protective talisman, otherwise it is another matter.
In the world of cultivation, victory or defeat in battles is not determined by absolute realm or strength. Sometimes, as long as one is decisive enough, the weak can defeat the strong.
In addition, there was another huge gain from this practice.
He has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining! The seventh level of Qi Refining, this level of cultivation has already caught up with Senior Brother Lin Sheng five years ago! Moreover, even in the outer sect of Chaos Sect, disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining are like "treasures".
Most disciples would directly enter the inner gate once they reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and practice in an aura environment of at least the lower grade second-order spiritual veins.
And if Ning Daoran, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator who could grow second-grade spiritual rice, were really discovered, he would most likely be reported to the sect's higher-ups and then be trained intensively.
Ning Daoran didn't want to be too much in the spotlight, as it would be easy for him to die without knowing why. He just wanted to quietly grow magical rice on Qiongbi Peak.
Then, the breath-retaining method began to work.
His cultivation level still remains at the third level of Qi Refining.
A useless outer sect disciple with ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots who has been practicing for seven years is still in the early stage of Qi Refining. This is quite logical and no one can find fault with it.
I, a newbie, beg all readers not to keep the book for later use. The follow-up reading data during the new book period is extremely important for this book. It is easy to destroy the book by keeping the book for later use. Thank you very much!
