Chapter 266: There Will Be a Great Reward
"What is your plan?"
Ning Daoran said, "Even if you can guarantee that Chi Shan's soul will not dissipate, what can you do? She is already a soul. When she was possessed, her cultivation was low, so there is no possibility of possessing another person's body. I have never heard of any technique to bring the dead back to life."
"Ghost cultivator..."
Lin Man frowned slightly. "It is said that there is a method in the world of immortal cultivation that can make the soul cultivate, which is called ghost cultivation. Of course, it is not the despicable method of refining corpses and souls in the devil's way. It is to continue to improve through the cultivation of one's own soul. It is said that the ultimate limit is to cultivate to the level of godhood."
She pursed her red lips and said, "Senior sister has a first-grade spiritual root. She was one of the few proud daughters of heaven in the sect back then. She has the hope of becoming a god. If she and I can both break through to the god level, I will find a way to sneak across the Feixiantai and take Senior sister to the spirit world, and seek a way to restore Senior sister's body in the spirit world."
"I see……"
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and said, "Master Lin Fu's next step must be to form a pill?"
"Exactly."
Lin Man said: "After returning to the Immortal City, I will try to form a pill. I hope you can protect me. After forming a pill, Lin Man will take my sister's soul to Li's Immortal City and go to other places to find a way to store souls. So you don't have to worry about Lin Man leaking the secret. It won't do me any good if you betray you."
"In that case, let's keep this memory of Master Lin Fu."
Ning Daoran stood up and left. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "I wish Master Lin Fu all the best and hope that he can sneak across the sky with Chi Shan's soul and ascend to heaven."
"Um!"
Lin Man nodded heavily with a smile on her face.
…
A few days later, they arrived at Bailong Immortal City.
Since Lin Man wants to go into seclusion, Ning Daoran naturally has to do so as well.
However, before going into seclusion, he disguised himself as Jianjia Sanren and went to the Shixian Tower.
In the Immortal Killing Tower, when Ning Daoran took out Long Zhuojun's frozen head, the Yuanying-level old monster Zhang Lao, who was in charge of distributing bounties, couldn't help but be stunned: "You killed Long Zhuojun?"
"no?"
"OK!"
Elder Zhang smiled meaningfully and said, "In the Immortal Killing Tower, there is a rule that one cannot go down a level. Although Long Zhuojun deserves to die, the Yuanying Stage Gold Medal Killer in the tower has never made a move. Humph, Long Zhuojun has become more and more arrogant and arrogant with his late Baodan Stage cultivation. I almost couldn't help wanting to switch from a civilian position to a gold medal position...
It's not bad for you to kill Long Zhuojun. No one can say no to a Jindan killing a Baodan. Even those in the building who have old acquaintances with Long Zhuojun or have interests in him have to accept it. "
As he spoke, Old Zhang took out a bag of heavy spirit stones and threw it over.
He glanced at the points in Ning Daoran's identity jade talisman: "Huh? Ten thousand points accumulated... Boy, give me your silver medal, and I will upgrade you to a gold medal."
In the Immortal Killing Tower, you can be promoted to a gold medal killer by accumulating 10,000 points.
It should not be too harsh. Killing Jindan stage targets can accumulate more than 100 points. Killing more can always lead to promotion to gold medal. However, the truth is not so. The safety factor of silver medal killers is extremely low when performing bounty missions. Almost more than 99% of silver medal killers die before accumulating 10,000 points.
Soon, Ning Daoran's killer token turned golden.
But he is definitely not the youngest gold medal killer in the Shixian Tower. There are many people who are more talented than him.
Take Lin Man and Chi Shan as examples, the talents of these two top ten geniuses of the immortal sects are far better than Ning Daoran's.
But none of this matters. Ning Daoran takes the path of accumulating strength over time and not competing for short-term gains.
"Boy, what do you want to exchange for 10,000 points?" asked Mr. Zhang.
"It needs to be changed."
Ning Daoran nodded repeatedly: "Senior, the fourth-level middle-grade Tiger King Demon Pill worth 10,000 points..."
"So this is what you're staring at."
Elder Zhang stood up and said with a smile, "This thing may seem precious, but it is actually useless for those in the Nascent Soul stage. There are too many side effects if you swallow it directly, so no one wants it. I will get it for you."
"Thank you, senior!"
Not long after, a brocade box covered with restrictions was placed in front of Ning Daoran. The reason for the restrictions in the brocade box was to seal the spiritual energy in the demon pill and increase its shelf life.
Otherwise, if you just leave it like this, after a few hundred years the spiritual energy of the fourth-level demon pill will probably decay to a level even lower than that of the third level.
Elder Zhang picked up Ning Daoran's identity jade talisman and swiped it on a flickering machine...
Ten thousand points disappeared.
"Thank you, senior!"
Ning Daoran thanked him again and again.
Since Shen Luoyan and Long Xingtian were not in the building, they returned to Bailong Immortal City without any delay.
…
In the fairy city, everything remains the same as before.
Monks of various levels of cultivation came and went, and the afternoon was extremely leisurely. Everything was exactly the same as in the past. As expected, the news of Long Zhuojun's death outside had not yet reached Bailong Immortal City.
Or maybe... the person in charge of Long Zhuojun's life card felt that it should not be announced at this time to avoid causing unrest, and it would not be announced until Long Zhuojun's industry was completely taken over and the dust settled.
Ning Daoran was too lazy to think about these complicated things, and he didn't want to get involved in the interest disputes in Bailong Immortal City.
The reason why he killed Long Zhuojun was that he asked for death himself. Ning Daoran had no reason to kill Long Zhuojun, he just did it for the sake of convenience.
Return to the cave and begin retreat.
The main task of this retreat is to refine the Flowing Fire Demon God Formation. As long as this formation is completed, Ning Daoran will be promoted to a genuine third-grade top-grade formation master!
If I could go one step further and become a fourth-level formation master...
I can't believe that there are only a handful of fourth-level formation masters in the entire Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World, and even the fourth-level formations in the entire Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World are only a handful! Those formations are basically in the hands of the top ten immortal gates, and are only used to guard the gates.
Therefore, if Ning Daoran can be promoted to a fourth-rank formation master, his rarity will be no different from lice on a bald man's head.
However, it is extremely difficult to advance to the fourth level. Firstly, the inheritance of the fourth-level formation is a big problem. Most of the inheritances of the fourth-level formation have been broken, and even if there are any, they are in the hands of some great figures.
This kind of opportunity needs to be encountered slowly and cannot be rushed.
…
In this way, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 182 years old.
During the two years, he was neither impatient nor anxious, and did not start to refine until he had sorted out the distribution of the spiritual patterns, the structure of the formation, and so on. The refining process did not take long, and it was completed in less than a month.
"Buzz~~~"
Ning Daoran walked out of the weapon refining room. His aura was even more unfathomable than before, and he carried the aura of a master of formations.
"It's done!"
He flicked his sleeves lightly, and suddenly twenty-four formation flags and twenty-four formation plates appeared before his eyes. A complete set of Flowing Fire Demon God Formation was completely refined, and one of the formation flags carried the energy of the formation's eye, in which was embedded the fourth-grade intermediate Tiger King Demon Pill.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this time, he was already a true third-rank top-grade formation master!
"Old Deer, I did it!"
“Ahhhh~~~”
As part of the routine celebration, Xiaobai quickly lifted her skirt and went to cook.
"Brother is awesome, he is truly a role model for our generation..."
Xiao Heizi transformed into a young man in black with an expression that looked like he deserved a beating, and he kept playing the supporting role.
Since he was only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, his transformation was not complete. There were layers of inky scales on his neck and a fiery red mark between his eyebrows, making him look extremely evil.
"Little Blackie."
Ning Daoran glanced at him and said, "How did you become like this? You're more handsome than me."
"oops……"
Xiao Heizi scratched his head: "Then I should make myself uglier?"
"OK."
Ning Daoran glanced at the big stupid deer and said, "Old deer, it's time for you to break through, right?"
“Ahhh~~~”
The big stupid deer said that if the elder brother doesn’t break through, I won’t break through either, so there’s no rush.
Ning Daoran was speechless for a while. Didn't he want to break through? He couldn't break through, okay? !
Even if he obtained the Dinghuo Spirit Body, it was only a fourth-grade spiritual root. Throughout history, how many cultivators with fourth-grade spiritual roots could reach the middle stage of the Golden Core? Not many.
However, for him, the promotion to the middle stage of the Golden Core was a sure thing! ...
“Swish!”
A sound transmission note flew into the mansion, coming from Lin Man: "Fellow Daoist, have you come out of retreat? You can come to Lin Man's cave residence for a small gathering when you have free time. I have to prepare for the formation of the elixir."
"good."
In the afternoon, Ning Daoran brought Bai Lu into Lin Man’s cave.
At this point, no one was jealous anymore.
Those who were jealous were basically all dead... It was obvious that the world of immortal cultivation was so cruel.
Inside the cave, maple leaves were scattered in the courtyard, and in the small pavilion, Lin Man was already waiting.
Ning Daoran took a quick glance and saw that after two years of seclusion, Lin Man had completed her foundation building and had reached the point where there was no further progress. Her foundation building was a bit terrifying. She could probably beat two people of the same level who had completed their foundation building. This was the terrifying aspect of the first-grade spiritual root talent.
"Ning has been in seclusion. Is there any important news in the Immortal City recently?"
"some."
Lin Man smiled calmly, "The news that Long Zhuojun colluded with the Zhutian League and was wiped out by a mysterious force in Tianluo Sea finally reached Bailong Immortal City, and the top leaders in the city began to reshuffle. Not long ago, Long Zhuojun's brother Long Tianqi died in a training. Although the Immortal City claimed that he encountered a third-level mid-stage spirit beast, some people speculated that Long Tianqi's death was deliberately caused by someone."
She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Now, most of the industries in White Dragon Immortal City have fallen into the hands of the Xu family. The Xu family ancestor who is in the Nascent Soul stage lives in the City Lord's Mansion. The head of the Xu family, Xu Yuan, is now the official city lord. This White Dragon Immortal City has been named after Xu."
Ning Daoran didn't have a good impression of the Xu family either.
He could still vividly remember how the Xu family's ancestor, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage, was despicable and shameless, and how he ambushed him.
"Sir, have some tea."
A very pretty woman came forward to pour tea.
"Yingxiu, my maid."
Lin Man said, "During this period of time, I have been in seclusion all the time, and the cave is full of fallen leaves and spider webs. Someone needs to clean it up."
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled: "When will you start the retreat to reach the golden elixir?"
"It depends on your time."
Lin Man said: "I can break through at any time. Come and protect me when you are free. Although the few months of breaking through will waste my time, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
