Chapter 239: Devouring Insects
In the early morning, a thin layer of morning mist covered the nameless deserted island.
Ning Daoran took out all the formations and counted them one by one.
The Green Flood Dragon Demon King was extremely difficult to deal with, and the losses in the battle to kill him were huge. Two second-level formations were directly destroyed by the magic power. In addition, even the White Feather Flowing Sound Formation had three formation plates and five formation flags cracked under the impact of the opponent's powerful magic power, and needed to be re-refined and repaired.
Even the Chilong Ding, a third-rank intermediate-grade magic weapon, was slightly damaged. It would take about three to five years of careful nurturing to repair the cracks.
We weighed anchor and set sail back to Bailong Fairy City.
"Senior Ning..."
The sky was clear and the air was crisp. Jinshan also came to the deck to get some fresh air. He said, "There was a violent storm all night yesterday. I was in the cabin and couldn't see what was happening outside. What happened?"
“It’s nothing serious.”
Ning Daoran said, "Maybe I fished too much here, so I provoked two third-level demon kings. Fortunately, I brought a lot of formations with me this time, which blocked them."
"oh?"
Jinshan was surprised: "Then...where is the demon king?"
"If you fail to break through the formation, you will naturally leave."
"I see……"
Jinshan was shocked and sat cross-legged in a daze.
Ning Daoran was fishing on the way back, and he didn't care too much about Jinshan's affairs.
After all, his impression of Jinshan was only average at this time. Although he killed his two brothers under the coercion of Jindan cultivator Jing Xu, why did Jinhai and Jintian not do it, but you, the eldest brother, did it? Therefore, in Ning Daoran's eyes, after taking Jinshan back to the city, the friendship between him and him should be written off.
…
Half a month later, he returned to Bailong Immortal City.
"Senior Ning, I want to buy some materials..." Jinshan said with a guilty look on his face after entering the city.
He didn't want to travel with Ning Daoran, perhaps because he felt guilty.
"good."
Ning Daoran did not stop him: "Go ahead, fellow Taoist."
The two parted ways.
People were coming and going on the main street in the city center. Ning Daoran was returning to the cave with the big stupid deer, but he found a very familiar figure in front of the cave.
The man was dressed in a green shirt, his eyes were filled with hostility, and his body exuded the aura of an early stage of the golden elixir. It turned out to be Jing Xu who had committed evil on the sea! "Master Lin Fu..."
Jing Xu crossed his arms, with a playful smile on his face, and said, "I just want to buy two third-level low-grade wind-proof talismans. Why does Master Lin keep me away so far? What's wrong with letting me enter the cave?"
The cave was filled with light, and the beautiful Lin Man came out, frowning and saying, "Senior Jing, I have received too many orders recently, and I don't have time to accept your orders. I have said this many times, so why do you have to pester me like this?"
As she spoke, Lin Man saw Ning Daoran returning not far away, and a smile flashed across her lips.
"Master Lin Fu probably misunderstood."
Jing Xu smiled calmly and said, "I only admire Master Lin Fu and have never had any thoughts of usurping power. Even if I am lucky enough to become a Taoist partner with Master Lin Fu one day, it must be Master Lin Fu's willingness."
"Senior Jing is overthinking."
Lin Man was not polite and said calmly: "Even if Lin Man becomes blind one day, I probably won't look down on Senior Jing. I hope you will respect yourself and not cause trouble in the city."
"snort!"
Jing Xu raised his lips slightly: "Master Lin Fu said such a thing, which shows that you are still young. Don't worry, Jing will not hold it against you."
At this time, Ning Daoran's impression of Jing Xu had become even worse.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
Lin Man smiled dimples, walked forward and smiled at Ning Daoran: "You're back? How did you gain from this trip to the sea?"
"The harvest is good. Thank you Master Lin Fu for your concern."
"snort!"
Lin Man said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, you don't know that you've been out at sea for half a year. I didn't even have anyone to talk to. I felt so lonely. I'm glad you're back now. Come over to my house and chat when you're free."
"good."
Ning Daoran nodded, took out the jade talisman of the cave and opened the door.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
Jing Xu crossed his arms and said with a smile, "You and I have met before at sea, but I never thought that Fellow Daoist Ning and Master Lin Fu were actually neighbors. This is good. When I come to see Master Lin Fu in the future, I can also ask for a cup of spiritual tea from Fellow Daoist Ning."
Ning Daoran turned around and glanced at him, then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Jing, I have known Master Lin Fu for many years and I know her personality. If she doesn't like it, then don't pester her anymore. It's very boring."
"oh?"
Jing Xu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you standing up for Master Lin Fu?"
"So what?"
Ning Daoran smiled playfully: "Fellow Daoist Jing, are you going to kill someone in the street?"
"snort……"
Jing Xu glanced at the white deer in the early Jindan stage beside Ning Daoran, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and then he turned away.
…
Ning Daoran greeted Lin Man again and returned to the cave.
There are many things to do next, the most important of which is naturally to refine the True Blood Pill. The amount of Golden Dragon Carp meat obtained this time is huge, so the output of True Blood Pill must be not low.
As for Jing Xu, Ning Daoran did not regard him as a threat. If Jing Xu wanted to die, he would not mind giving him a ride.
Late at night, he began to retreat and practice alchemy.
After a full month, Ning Daoran finally came out of seclusion.
The storage bag around his waist was heavy, already filled with jade bottles of elixirs.
Among them, he refined more than 400 pills of True Blood Pills. His alchemy skills increased greatly, so he picked herbs from the Lingpu Cave and refined some third-level longevity pills and Lihuo Pills that could improve his magic power in the Golden Core Stage.
The success rate of the Lihuo Pill is extremely high. At this time, Ning Daoran is already a genuine third-level top-grade alchemist, and he is a third-level top-grade alchemist who is fed with the True Blood Pill. He can be said to have profound skills! In the following days, he began to take the third-level longevity pill.
Within three days after taking the first pill, his life span increased by sixty-five years, while the second pill increased his life span by fifty years.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The third life-extending pill had the worst effect, probably because drug resistance had already been developed, and it only increased one’s lifespan by thirty-five years.
Therefore, the three third-level longevity pills increased Ning Daoran's lifespan by a total of 150 years, which is quite considerable compared to the 500-year lifespan of a Jindan-stage cultivator.
At this time, Ning Daoran's total lifespan reached a terrifying two thousand two hundred and thirty years, which was longer than that of the Nascent Soul monster and comparable to that of a God Transformation. It was truly terrifying.
It can be predicted that many people will be outlasted by him in the future.
…
For a month, the city was peaceful.
The news of the killing of the two demon kings, Green Jiao and Red Carp, had not been spread. Ning Daoran kept it secret himself, and Jinshan knew nothing about it. The people from Linlu Trading Company left early and did not send anyone to watch the battle, for fear of being implicated.
In addition, the combined strength of the two demon kings was too terrifying, and the people at Linlu Trading Company would never have thought that Ning Daoran, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core, had the ability to hunt down the two demon kings.
Therefore, it will probably take some time for the news of the death of the two demon kings to be confirmed before it can spread.
Lin Man has been practicing in seclusion.
Not only is her talent in the art of talismans quite outstanding, her talent in cultivation is equally outstanding. She is already in the late stage of foundation building at the age of only sixty. If she can form a pill before she is eighty, it will be earlier than her senior sister Jiang Yu. She can definitely be called a top genius in the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness.
Early this morning.
Ning Daoran put his hands behind his back and patrolled the Lingpu Cave.
In the cave where every inch of land is valuable, he and Bai Lu still planted two rows of cucumbers. Now small flowers have grown on the cucumber racks, and they will soon be able to eat smashed cucumbers.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he felt that the fire ants' mood seemed to have changed.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Daoran rushed into the insect room and saw a group of fire ants squeaking. Several tamed fire ants kept shaking their antennae and squeaking at Ning Daoran.
There must be a reason for the sudden agitation of these fire-eating ants. Through the connection between the soul and the spirit, Ning Daoran quickly came to the conclusion that something seemed to be happening underground in the cave, and the fire-eating ants had noticed it.
"What's going on?"
He stepped out of Lingpu Cave, sat quietly in the cave, released his golden elixir consciousness, and began to explore the situation of his cave.
Could it be that Jing Xu was holding a grudge and was going to attack him? Thinking of this, Ning Daoran suddenly felt a little excited.
However, after searching for a week with his spiritual sense, he found that his cave was perfect, and all the restrictions and formations showed no signs of loosening.
Could it be another cave? He immediately released his divine sense and began to explore Lin Man's cave nearby.
This investigation was not a big deal. He actually saw a group of densely packed beetles with his spiritual sense. The shells of these beetles were a deep sea, and the spiritual energy contained in their bodies was extremely strong. Moreover, these beetles were shaking their heads and gnawing at the formation of Lin Man's cave next door! Could it be that someone was plotting against Lin Man? Ning Daoran frowned. He knew the blue beetle. It ranked 124th on the Ten Thousand Insects List. It was called the Formation Devouring Beetle. Its combat power was average and could not be compared with the Fire Devouring Ant. Its main magical power was to gnaw at the formation and prohibitions.
There is actually someone feeding array-eating insects in Bailong Immortal City and using them to deal with Lin Man?
Quite interesting.
Ning Daoran did not hesitate. He raised his hand and took out the Big Green Dragon from the storage bag. He then cast a spell and used the earth escape technique to escape along the edge of the cave. In a blink of an eye, he passed through the corroded formation of Lin Man's cave and entered the underground of the cave.
The Acalanatha secret technique, the sound absorption technique, and the invisibility technique were all working at their peak. When Ning Daoran burrowed upwards into the earth, he felt the fluctuation of magic power above the surface. Someone was fighting!
When his spiritual sense swept over, he saw an old man in a gray robe with his arms outstretched, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. He used the spiritual pressure of the early Jindan stage to directly suppress Lin Man, who was in the late foundation building stage.
"Little girl, you are so ungrateful!"
The old man raised his arm and summoned a tender golden vine. The vine seemed to be alive, and it quickly tied up Lin Man tightly. In this way, it accidentally outlined her perfect curves.
"Be obedient, or you will die."
The old man sneered, raised his hand and summoned a magical power, carrying Lin Man on his shoulder and was about to burrow away.
"Um, no?!"
In an instant, a blood-colored thread swept across the void and directly passed over the old man's right arm. This sneak attack came silently, and even this great cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core was unaware of it! "Pada~~"
The next moment, a bloody arm fell to the ground.
