Chapter 228 Going out to sea
"Senior Ning, has it really been refined?"
"Exactly."
In the pavilion, Ning Daoran lightly tapped his storage bag, and suddenly twelve formation flags and formation plates flew out, lingering around him, with a strong breath of magical power.
"It really is the Jade Toad Devil Trapping Array..."
Lin Man's pretty face was full of surprise.
She quickly took out three talismans from her storage bag and said, "This is the Wind-Proofing Talisman, the Forbidden Breaking Talisman, and the Divine Frost Talisman that you need. Please check them!"
"good."
Ning Daoran took the talisman and examined it carefully.
On the side, Lin Man also carefully checked the formation flags and formation plates to see if there were any flaws. Both of them were cautious people.
After a few breaths, they both breathed a sigh of relief, both having completed their work perfectly, and each of them revealed an awkward yet polite smile.
…
"Is Senior Ning home?"
At this time, someone was talking outside. He was an old monk in the middle stage of the second order with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
"Yes, what can I do for you, fellow Daoist?" Ning Daoran said in a voice transmission.
"I would like to ask you for an immortal pear blossom formation. Could you spare some time to help me refine it?"
"Yes, fellow Taoist, please come in."
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves and opened the restriction of the cave.
"Huh?"
The old monk saw Lin Man at a glance and was stunned. Then he showed a "that" expression and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Master Lin Fu to be here... It seems that I am disturbing you two..."
"You misunderstood, fellow Daoist."
Ning Daoran explained, "Master Lin and I are also discussing the matter of refining the formation, so please don't think too much, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, which is not good for both Ning and Master Lin."
His voice was soft, but he brooked no argument.
How could a foundation-building cultivator dare to disobey the words of a great Jindan cultivator?
"yes!"
The old monk nodded repeatedly.
"One Immortal Pear Blossom Array costs six thousand spirit stones. You have to wait at least seven days after booking. Fellow Daoist, do you have the spirit stones?" Ning Daoran asked.
“I brought it!”
The Mediterranean monk was quite straightforward. He slapped his storage bag and took out six thousand spirit stones.
Ning Daoran immediately signed the contract and handed it to the other party, then Hai Di turned and left.
The entire order process took no more than ten breaths...
"Since you have accepted the order, Lin Man will not interfere with you and will take my leave now."
Lin Man stood up and bowed.
Ning Daoran nodded and watched Lin Man leave.
…
For several days in a row, cultivators visited Ning Daoran's cave almost every day, and most of them came to ask for the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation.
Ning Daoran offered a price of six thousand spirit stones.
Among them, the price of materials for the formation fluctuates between 4,000 and 4,500 spirit stones. That is to say, every time Ning Daoran refines an Immortal Pear Blossom Formation, he can earn at least 1,500 spirit stones with tears and blood.
In addition, as his proficiency in refining increased, he was able to save a lot of materials each time. So later on, he was able to use those saved scraps to refine formations, and still ensure the integrity of the Immortal Pear Blossom Formation.
This way, the profit is higher. Almost every time an Immortal Pear Blossom Array is refined, a profit of about 2,000 to 2,500 spirit stones can be made. As the orders continue to accumulate, he makes so much money that he simply hangs a sign that says "Orders Full" at the entrance of the cave.
It’s not that the orders are really full, but Ning Daoran has to start preparing to go out to sea!
First of all, you need a big ship to go out to sea. A small ship will not do. The deep sea of the Tianluo Sea is full of raging waves, and ordinary small boats cannot withstand the wind and waves at all.
Therefore, Ning Daoran spent a full five hundred spirit stones and ordered a ten-meter-long ship from a shipyard on the coast. A thirty-meter-long ship should be enough!
Inside Lingpu Cave.
The Chilong Ding was burning red, and the golden essence in the cauldron had turned into golden melt. Ning Daoran once again cut down a thousand-year-old golden bamboo, refined the bamboo branches into golden melt, and fused it with the golden essence to refine it into more than a dozen fish hooks.
These fish hooks are extremely strong, and even if they hook a third-level monster, it is extremely difficult to get rid of them.
In addition, he carefully refined the thousand-year-old golden bamboo, increasing its flexibility and hardness. In this way, it became a top-quality fishing rod that was worth a fortune.
As for the fishing line...
A few days ago, Ning Daoran went to Qingxiefang and spent more than four thousand spirit stones to buy a third-stage early dragon tendon. He then spent three days refining the dragon tendon into an extremely solid one.
As for the fishing float, a feather from a third-stage mid-stage Fire Falcon was directly used, and it was refined into a color that alternated between fiery red and white.
In this way, from the big ship to the fishing rods, fishing lines, and fish hooks, they are definitely the top configuration in Bailong Fairy City.
"well……"
Ning Daoran looked at the complete set of fishing gear in front of him and suddenly remembered a sentence.
Poor students have more stationery...
Could he be a poor fisherman? That was not possible. His ultimate goal was to catch the king of fish in the Tianluo Sea!
"Senior, are you really going to sea?"
Lin Man came, wearing a white dress and pink shawl. Her beautiful eyes looked at the fishing rod and the fishing line, but I don't know if she figured out anything.
She crossed her arms, gently touched her chin with the back of her right finger, and said in a deep voice: "Senior, as far as I know, if you want to catch more Golden Dragon Spirit Carp, you need a kind of fish-attracting grass. The fish-attracting grass is called Han Chi grass, which is a very common spiritual grass. The older the Han Chi grass is, the better its effect as a fish-attracting grass will be."
She pouted and said, "I heard that there was a Jindan master in the city who used 2,000-year-old fish-luring grass as bait. One year, he actually caught a quasi-golden dragon spirit carp king weighing 300 kilograms. Senior, you are rich and powerful, so you can go to Qingxiefang to see if there is such fish-luring grass for sale."
Ning Daoran remained silent, thinking to himself that he was not so wealthy.
However, as for the Hanchi grass, he actually did have it, and it was of extremely high age.
Not long after entering the Chaos Sect, Ning Daoran bought various spiritual herbs and planted them underground, including the extremely common Hanchi grass.
Counting... when he went up the mountain at the age of 20, the age of these cold chi grasses has basically reached about 14,000 years! And there are a lot of them. In the Lingpu Cave, there is a large area of blue and green, just like cabbage.
"Well, I'll buy it later."
Ning Daoran glanced at her and said, "Doesn't Brother Lin need to practice today? You actually have the time to come to my humble abode to watch the fun?"
"The matter of cultivation is not urgent."
…
A few days later, Ning Daoran left Bailong Immortal City and went out to sea, and Lin Man began to retreat.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Coast, port.
A large ship raised its sails and slowly left the coast.
This ship is medium-sized, much smaller than the large fishing boats of trading companies, large families, and immortal city government offices, but much larger than the small fishing boats used by low-level cultivators.
Ning Daoran named the ship "Big White Deer". Because of this name, Big Stupid Deer was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
Soon after, the Great White Deer left the shore, and many monks were confused. There was only one man and one deer on the ship, not even a sailor. Who would drive the ship after entering the deep sea? As a result, not long after leaving the shore, Ning Daoran threw out dozens of second-class paper figures: "Come out!"
"Boom boom boom~~~"
Amid the sound of expansion, figures of monks appeared on the deck, both men and women, all of whom were at the foundation-building stage. All of these paper figures were sailors, and it was rare to see a fleet with such a lineup.
For a moment, a group of B-grade paper figures, each doing their own job, were busy on the big ship.
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag and took out a set of third-order intermediate-grade White Feather Flowing Sound Array, plus three Immortal Pear Blossom Arrays, which directly formed an indestructible stacked array. Caution is the top priority, and safety is the most important thing. The last thing he lacks when going out to sea is the formation!
"Senior Ning!"
After being dozens of miles offshore, I met an acquaintance.
In the distance, a boat much smaller than Ning Daoran's ship slowly approached. Three familiar men were standing on the deck. They were none other than the Jin brothers.
Their ship was not big, and could just be covered by an Immortal Pear Blossom Formation.
"What a coincidence, senior is also going out to sea?" Jinshan asked with a smile, clasping his fists.
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran stood on the side of the boat and said with a smile, "Come out to try your luck and get some fresh air."
"Okay."
Jinshan said: "However, senior, you must be careful after entering the deep sea. The deep sea is different from the coastal sea. There are many Tribulation Cultivators. These Tribulation Cultivators are very hateful, just like locusts. They kill people, set fires, and do all kinds of evil in the sea. They are even more hateful than the three disasters."
"Brother."
On the side, the second oldest, Jin Hai, said with a smile: "Senior Ning is a great Jindan cultivator, so what if he encounters a Jie cultivator?"
"Too."
Jin Shan said with a smile: "I am just giving you a reminder, please forgive me, Senior!"
"No problem."
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "You guys should be careful too. I wish you all a good catch!"
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior."
The three Jin brothers raised the sails, and soon the small boat disappeared on the sea.
…
Time passes quickly at sea.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The Great White Deer cut through the waves and entered the depths of the Tianluo Sea. So far, they still had not encountered the so-called three disasters of the Tianluo Sea, and had not seen any of the golden wind and jade dew.
In fact, the probability of encountering the three disasters is not too high. Otherwise, if the danger is so great, there would not be so many cultivators from the White Dragon Immortal City going out to sea. After all, no one is stupid. When the benefits are far lower than the risks, no one will take the risk.
Ning Daoran started to fish.
“Plop~~~”
A ball of bait entered the sea, mixed with a little bit of cold grass, and immediately a wisp of fragrance quickly spread in the sea water.
The fishing float kept sinking and floating, and soon Ning Daoran discovered an extremely cruel reality.
The small fish are disturbing the nest!
Although Hanchi grass is an excellent fish attractant, the golden dragon carp that came were only two or three pounds in weight, and at most seven or eight pounds. They did not meet the standards for refining True Blood Pills at all and were only equivalent to ordinary spirit fish.
If you invest so much but can only catch ordinary spirit fish, it would obviously be a big loss.
There is no other way, I can only fish slowly, relying on my luck and willpower to wait for the big catch! "Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ning Daoran slowly raised his head and looked at a small dot on the horizon. Countless figures broke through the wind and came. They were all foundation-building monks, more than 20 of them! These foundation-building monks left the big ship and flew directly over the sea, gathering from all directions.
“It’s actually a big one!”
A man with a broken eyebrow in the late stage of foundation building sneered, "Brothers, it's an early stage of golden elixir... Just like last time, everyone, bring out your spiritual weapons and come with me. The chance to form a golden elixir that we are waiting for is with him!"
…
This group of people is too arrogant. More than 20 foundation-building people want to bite off a golden elixir? It seems that they must have tasted the sweetness before. Who knows which unlucky golden elixir actually became an elephant bitten to death by the ants.
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes. When he was in Bailong Immortal City, he heard that there were many robbery organizations rampant in Tianluo Sea. Their names were quite famous, such as the Heart Devouring Society, the Soul-Destroying Gang, the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, etc. He didn't expect to encounter them on his first trip to the sea!
