Chapter 226 Formation Business
It turned out that business was coming to the door.
Ning Daoran felt relieved and slightly happy.
"Immortal Pear Blossom Formation..."
He frowned and said, "Although this formation is only a first-grade superior formation, the refining process is extremely complicated. Even with Ning's formation cultivation, I'm afraid it will take at least half a month to complete the refining."
"It turns out that Senior can really refine the Indestructible Pear Blossom Formation!"
Jin Shan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior Ning, how about this? My three brothers will gather all the materials for the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation. As long as you can refine the formation, my three brothers are willing to pay a thousand spirit stones as the refining fee!"
One thousand spirit stones! Ning Daoran was secretly delighted. How could making money be so easy?
"Can."
He nodded slightly: "But I wonder when the three Taoist friends will be able to gather all the materials?"
"Within three days, how about that?"
"Okay, in that case, I will not be in seclusion for three days. As long as you send me the materials, I will start to refine the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation for you."
"Thank you, senior!"
The three Jin brothers bowed repeatedly and then hurried to the market to prepare materials.
Ning Daoran watched the three people go away, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.
The reason why the three Jin brothers were so wasteful and spent so many spirit stones to create the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation was naturally that they had their reasons for doing so.
Before Ning Daoran went south to Yizhou, he actually found out some important information about Bailong Fairy City and Tianluo Sea.
The Tianluo Sea is vast and boundless, and there are a large number of spiritual creatures hidden in the deep sea, among which the Golden Dragon Carp is the most attractive. However, sailing in the Tianluo Sea is extremely dangerous because of the legendary "Three Disasters".
The “three disasters” are named golden wind, jade dew, and moving fog respectively.
That golden wind was the Xin Jin wind, a spiritual wind unique to the Tianluo Sea. No one knew how this spiritual wind was formed, or when it would appear, but the Xin Jin wind could separate gold and jade. If a ship encountered the Xin Jin wind head-on, the chances of being torn into pieces were very high.
The second disaster was named Jade Dew, which was formed by the turbid spiritual energy that continued to rise from the Tianluo Sea. It was a terrifying existence known as the "Eclipse Rain".
On the Tianluo Sea, if you encounter the erosion rain, it will be a natural disaster for ships. Ordinary wood, metal, protective gear, etc. cannot withstand the erosion rain at all and will be corroded in the blink of an eye. Throughout the ages, countless ships that entered the Tianluo Sea were destroyed in the erosion rain.
As for the third disaster, it is called moving fog, which is an extremely rare sea fog. This fog moves on the sea. Once a ship enters it, it will immediately lose its direction and eventually get lost in some mysterious space.
It is said that monks who go to sea to fish often see ownerless ships. Everything on the hull is fine, and even the formation is extremely complete, but when they board the ship, there is no one on it. The monk who is in charge of the ship seems to have disappeared out of thin air. It is extremely terrifying, and the story about the fog is becoming more and more true and creepy as it spreads.
Therefore, over the past thousands of years, the cultivators of the White Dragon Immortal City have summed up a set of methods to deal with the three disasters.
To deal with golden wind, one needs to be quick-eyed and quick-handed. Once you spot the golden wind appearing, steer the ship immediately and leave quickly. This way you can avoid disaster. However, if the golden wind forms too quickly and on a large scale, you will need the legendary wind-proof talisman to escape, and a wind-proof talisman of at least the second level is required.
However, the wind-shelter talismans are very expensive and many cultivators simply cannot afford them. If they use one or two wind-shelter talismans every time they go to the sea, the final catch may not be worth the spirit stones spent on the wind-shelter talismans. This is naturally not acceptable.
As for Yu Lu, there is no good way to deal with the Eclipse Rain. Once the Eclipse Rain condenses in the air, it will be difficult for the ship to get out of the rain curtain in a short time, so the only way is to set up a formation on the ship.
All defensive formations above the second level can resist the Erosion Rain, but these formations are extremely expensive, starting at 10,000 spirit stones. Only the large ships of large families and businesses can afford formations of this level.
Therefore, the independent cultivators who lingered in the White Dragon Fairy City, trying to catch a thousand-jin golden dragon carp in one day to make a fortune, developed another way to resist the evil rain.
The Immortal Pear Blossom Formation, this first-grade superior formation can also resist the Yin-Erosion Rain. Although the coverage of the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation is far less than that of the second- and third-grade defense formations, it is economical and affordable, and meets the needs of some small and medium-sized ships.
Moreover, it only takes a spirit stone roughly equivalent to the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill to set up an Immortal Pear Blossom Formation for the ship once and for all. Naturally, the casual cultivators in the city are flocking to this formation.
Faced with such a high demand, the formation masters residing in the White Dragon Immortal City began to exploit the situation and drastically increased the cost of refining the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation, which easily exceeded one thousand five hundred spirit stones!
Furthermore, although the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation is only of the first-grade superior quality, it is extremely difficult to comprehend, and the inheritance of the formation is also extremely rare. Therefore, in fact, most second-grade formation masters do not have the ability to refine the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation.
Moreover, formation masters are extremely scarce. Looking at the entire White Dragon Immortal City, there are only a handful of formation masters who can refine the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation. Under this situation of supply and demand, Ning Daoran agreed to refine an Immortal Pear Blossom Formation for one thousand spirit stones. Naturally, the three Jin brothers were overjoyed.
Of course, Ning Daoran didn’t feel that he was at a disadvantage.
He could refine a mere Immortal Pear Blossom Formation within a day. What's the difference between this and making money without doing anything? What's more, he also needed the three Jin brothers to help him spread the name of the formation master so that he could get continuous orders.
Therefore, after the first Immortal Pear Blossom Formation was refined, Ning Daoran planned to raise the price. Charging 1,500 spirit stones as a labor fee for each formation was not excessive. Moreover, his attainments in the art of formations were extremely profound, and the first-level formations he refined would surely be flawless. Even the refining fee of 1,500 spirit stones was considered to be good value for money.
…
In the evening, the three Jin brothers arrived.
Jinshan led his two younger brothers and stood outside with their hands in their sleeves, like three honest farmers.
"Senior, we have bought all the materials for the Eternal Pear Blossom Formation."
A sound transmission note flew into the cave.
After a few breaths, a ripple appeared at the gate of the cave, and Ning Daoran walked out in a green shirt. His aura was extremely calm, like an undefeated green pine.
"good."
He gladly took the storage bag from Jinshan, released his spiritual sense to scan and count it, and said: "The materials are indeed ready. I will retreat to refine the formation now. Please wait for a while. However, I have to say something in advance. After the refining is completed, no matter how much materials are left, I will not return them. This is the rule of the formation master."
"I understand!"
Jin Hai nodded repeatedly: "Senior Ning, don't worry, we all know the rules!"
"Okay, the refining time will be about half a month, please wait for a moment."
Ning Daoran bowed slightly, turned around and went back into the cave.
The reason why the refining time is announced to be so long is simply to tell the other party that refining the formation is not easy and it is all hard-earned money. Don't think that your spirit stones are not worth it.
One day later.
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag, and immediately three formation flags and three formation plates flew out. An extremely perfect Immortal Pear Blossom Formation had been refined.
He swept his spiritual sense outside the cave, but found that the three Jin brothers had not left. They were actually guarding outside the cave, waiting anxiously.
It seems that the three Jin brothers are really eager for this Immortal Pear Blossom Formation. They may be waiting for the formation to be completed before going out to sea to fish and "replenish their blood"!
…
Ning Daoran was not in a hurry. He practiced diligently in the cave, and practiced the twenty levels of Changqing Jue diligently every day. He used the Changqing Jue time and time again to temper his body and improve his magical power.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although the progress is extremely slow, it is better than lying down and doing nothing.
Cultivating immortals has always been like this. Although with the help of intensive practice time, one can cultivate the skills to a very high level in a short period of time, but the foundation of one's own realm must be improved slowly through accumulation over time.
In this way, half a month later, Ning Daoran finally walked out of the cave slowly.
"Senior Ning!"
Outside, the three Jin brothers, who had been waiting for half a month, looked excited and full of joy.
"Senior Ning, the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation..."
Jinshan's voice trembled slightly, for fear that something might go wrong during the refining. After all, the success rate of refining an array formation was not 100%. There were many precedents of array masters failing to refine an array formation and consuming materials but failing to complete the refining.
"rest assured."
Ning Daoran tapped his storage bag lightly, took out the complete array flag array plate, and said with a smile: "Although Ning's talent for cultivation is average, I am quite confident in my talent for array formation."
For a moment, the three Jin brothers were filled with joy and kept praising each other.
"Senior, you are too modest..."
"It's actually a perfect and indestructible pear blossom formation..."
"As expected of you, Senior Ning..."
"I admire your accomplishments in the art of formations..."
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and waited for the other party to pay.
The Jin brothers are both in the middle stage of foundation building. They are now in the city and have a written contract for refining the formation. Ning Daoran is not worried that they will cheat.
"Senior, this is one thousand spirit stones!"
Jinshan presented a heavy bag of spirit stones, still expressing gratitude: "Thank you, senior!"
“You’re welcome~~”
Ning Daoran gladly accepted the spirit stones and said with a smile, "This is the first Immortal Pear Blossom Formation that I have refined in White Dragon Immortal City, so I will only charge one thousand spirit stones for the refining fee. If there are others who need the formation in the future, the refining fee will not be so high. I hope you three can promote it for me."
"We understand, please rest assured, senior!"
The Jin brothers left with joy on their faces.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran went to Qingxiefang and bought several golden dragon carps weighing more than ten kilograms at a high price, and returned to the cave to refine the True Blood Pill again.
Since taking the True Blood Pill, Xiao Heizi and the Green Water Turtle have made much faster progress. As we all know, the growth cycle of spiritual beasts is relatively long. It often takes two to three thousand years for many spiritual beasts to grow to the third level. Especially for spiritual beasts with a long lifespan like the Green Water Turtle, it may take more than tens of thousands of years for it to break through to the Golden Core.
He couldn't afford to wait, and had to use the True Blood Pill to speed up the growth of several spirit beasts.
Ning Daoran's goal of cultivating immortality is different from that of ordinary cultivators.
It's not like "Emperor Ning Tian, who is invincible by destiny, Haoran mobilizes three thousand states". Ning Daoran's goal is to make the Ning family army sweep everything. He sits high on the throne and doesn't have to do anything himself. The generals, cavalry generals, and former generals under his command can do it! In the evening, the setting sun shines on the streets of Bailong Xiancheng, which is particularly quiet and leisurely.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ning Daoran saw a woman standing in front of a cave. The woman was wearing a snow-white flowing cloud skirt and a light pink shawl. She had an extremely delicate face, bright eyes, white teeth, fiery red lips, a slender and fair figure, and shoulder-length hair swaying slightly in the wind.
This woman is extremely beautiful.
