Chapter 269: Fire Ants Save the Master

Three months passed in a flash.

Under the continuous forging of Big Dumb Deer's Return to Nature-level All-Things Cloud Thunder Hammer Technique, the embryo of a new Autumn Water Sword emerged. After repeated hammering, it was finally forged into a sword that was exactly the same as the previous Autumn Water Sword!

At the moment when the sword was sharpened, a deep blue vision shot up into the sky from the cave!

All of a sudden, all the experienced blacksmiths and foundry masters in the city were stunned and started talking about it.

"Is this... a vision of a divine weapon emerging from the world?"

"Oh my god, that strange phenomenon seems to have rushed out from Master Ning's cave..."

"Incredible, could it be that Master Ning is not only a third-level master, but also a master craftsman? That's not right, Master Ning doesn't look like a blacksmith, he has more of a refined temperament."

"Master Ning is indeed gifted and is actually a master craftsman. This is strange. Why would Master Lin leave when he has such a good Taoist partner?"

"It is said that it was a stormy night, and someone saw Master Lin Fu leaving Master Ning Zhen's cave with his face covered and heartbroken. In my opinion, Master Ning Zhen must have let Master Lin Fu down."

"How hateful! Master Lin Fu is such a beautiful and intelligent woman with outstanding talent, why did Master Ning Zhen let her down? Master Ning Zhen, Master Ning Zhen, you are so confused..."

…

Ning Daoran didn't care about the rumors in the city, and he couldn't do anything about it.

He decided to leave Bailong Immortal City when he was about two hundred years old, because he had sensed that he might be able to advance to the middle stage of Golden Core when he was two hundred years old. At that time, he would go home to visit his parents, and then consider going to Jicheng, Ningzhou, to learn the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra.

However, there is one more thing to do before that.

Although the Green Water Turtle has been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, it seems to be lacking in the rules of wood attribute. Therefore, Ning Daoran plans to find a treasure land with rich wood attribute spiritual energy, practice with the Green Water Turtle for a period of time, and figure out what secrets are hidden in the seal characters on the turtle's back.

Coincidentally, there is a Bamboo Wind Lake hundreds of miles east of Bailong Fairy City.

There is a second-level wood-attributed vein deep underground in the Zhufeng Lake. Because this vein is buried too deep underground and at the bottom of the lake, it cannot be excavated. Therefore, although this second-level superior vein is rare, it has always been abandoned.

Jindan stage cultivators can dive underwater for a long time to practice, but people don’t look down on the second-level earth veins.

Cultivators below the Golden Core stage cannot practice underwater for a long time. For a time, this wood-attributed vein became useless.

However, these are not problems for Ning Daoran.

So, on a stormy night, he disguised himself and left the cave with the Green Water Turtle, and then used the earth and water escape techniques to come to the underground of Bamboo Wind Lake.

He dug up a temporary cave underground and continued practicing with the Green Water Turtle.

After several months, we have benefited a lot. Part of the silver seal characters on the back of the Green Water Turtle have turned into gold and become more complete. It is obvious that we have made the right decision to come to Zhufeng Lake!

Moreover, absorbing the wood-attributed spiritual energy from the earth veins here will be of great benefit to the Green Water Turtle's future pill formation.

…

In this way, Ning Daoran took the Green Water Turtle to practice underwater in Zhufeng Lake, and this practice lasted for half a year.

It was late at night.

Ning Daoran sat cross-legged in the cave, refining his body with the Eternal Green Art.

“Squeak~~”

Suddenly, the fire-eating ant kept in the spirit beast bag around the waist called softly and began to resonate with the soul of its master.

Because of the practice outside, Ning Daoran left Lingpu Dongtian, Dabenlu, Xiaobai and others in the cave in Bailong Immortal City, and he took the green water turtle and thousands of fire-eating ants with him.

At this time, the fire ants chirped sharply, as if to warn others.

The next moment, the lake surface and the several second-class paper figures hidden in the wild also resonated with each other, and then a majestic aura instantly enveloped the entire Qiushui Lake, pressing the lake water to drop several feet! "Not good!"

Ning Daoran was horrified. It was the Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure! He raised his hand and released all the thousands of fire-eating ants in the spirit beast bag. At the same time, he activated his Golden Core Divine Sense and soon found dozens of black insects sneaking into the ground under the lake. Their tentacles were shaking wildly, as if they were looking for their breath.

He had seen the appearance of these insects on the Ten Thousand Insects List.

The Soul-Seeking Insect is ranked 147th on the Ten Thousand Insects List. It is not ranked high, but it is extremely sensitive to Qi and can find the target's breath within hundreds of miles. Even an isolation formation cannot prevent the Soul-Seeking Insect from capturing spiritual energy.

Obviously, someone was using the Soul-Searching Bug to find him, and there was only one person who was so obsessed with him and had the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul.

Ancestor of the Xu family!

This old man still didn't give up. He probably discovered the clues in Ning Daoran's cave in the city, and actually found Ning Daoran's new cave in the Bamboo Wind Lake outside the city! At this time, the spiritual pressure from the sky crushed down, directly crushing the Canghai Xuanbing Formation that Ning Daoran had arranged underwater, and the lake water continued to penetrate.

The second-level formation was obviously unable to withstand the overwhelming power of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Little friend Jianjia."

The voice of the Xu family ancestor was transmitted directly into the water: "I have finally found your place of residence. Shouldn't you please show your hospitality and entertain me?"

"Xu Old Dog!"

Ning Daoran said without mercy: "I am already a member of the Immortal Killing Tower, how dare you still want to kill me? Aren't you worried at all that Master Shen will investigate?"

"Afraid?"

The ancestor of the Xu family sneered: "Shen Luoyan is currently patrolling the Immortal Killing Tower in Ningzhou, so I'm afraid he has no time to take care of your affairs. As for the Immortal Killing Tower in Yizhou... humph, do you really think that someone would offend a Nascent Soul cultivator like me for a mere golden elixir like you?"

Shit, he had a point.

Ning Daoran did not panic. After putting the green water turtle into the spirit beast bag, he raised his hand and pointed. Suddenly, thousands of fire-eating ants turned into a chain of fire and entered the ground, attacking those soul-sucking insects that could lock their breath. No matter what, kill these soul-sucking insects first! Suddenly, the fire-eating ants screamed and rushed into the soil with their blood advantage, quickly grabbing and gnawing those soul-sucking insects. In a blink of an eye, dozens of soul-sucking insects were left with only a piece of broken legs.

"Do you think you can escape by killing the Soling Bug?"

The ancestor of the Xu family activated his Nascent Soul Spiritual Pressure and went directly into the water. He quickly approached and sneered, "I still have thousands of Soul-Searching Insects. Can you kill them all?"

Ning Daoran also sneered.

As an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, the vision of the Xu family ancestor is too narrow.

How many thousands of Souli insects are considered a lot?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

During all these years in the White Dragon Immortal City, Ning Daoran had been constantly feeding his fire-eating ants with purple jade spirit rice and true blood pills. His number of fire-eating ants had already reached as many as 70,000 or 80,000, but none of them was as proud and complacent as the ancestor of the Xu family.

“Swish!”

He tapped the storage bag lightly, and immediately, a series of formation flags and formation plates flew out, setting up a formation directly underground! At the moment when the ancestor of the Xu family, covered with blood-colored spiritual pressure, rushed into the broken cave, a blood-colored formation rose up, directly covering the world under the ground! The Flowing Fire Demon God Formation, a third-level upper-grade killing formation! In an instant, the Dharma image of a fourth-level middle-stage demon tiger rose from the formation, looking very much like a saber-toothed tiger, with sharp teeth several feet long and colorful hair all over its body. It raised its claws and chopped at the opponent.

"Formation?!"

The ancestor of the Xu family shouted loudly, raised his hand, and immediately sent out a bloody claw, pressing it hard on the head of the demon tiger, pushing it directly back into the formation.

It is obviously impossible to kill an old ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage with a third-grade superior formation.

"superior!"

Ning Daoran shook his left hand, and countless Grade A and Grade B paper figures rushed out and headed straight for the ancestor of the Xu family.

At the same time, golden swords broke through the wind.

"It's just a trifle!"

The Xu family ancestor sneered and lightly hooked his finger. Suddenly, a light of the Chilong Bi on his belt surged. The Chilong on the jade disk spun around and turned into a spiritual object. With the sound of dragon roars, its claws swept across, and it actually knocked away the golden swords one by one, making it impossible to attack! The Chilong Bi was also a magic weapon, but in the hands of the Yuanying ancestor, it was indeed far beyond the reach of Ning Daoran, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core.

"Still want to fight like a trapped beast?"

The ancestor of the Xu family flicked his sleeves, and the power of the Nascent Soul swept over. Immediately, the Flowing Fire Demon God Formation began to buzz. Although there were still continuous streams of fire killing the opponent, the entire formation seemed to be wailing, and cracks continued to appear under the powerful power of the Nascent Soul stage.

"You are so stubborn, it's really ridiculous!"

The ancestor of the Xu family's eyes turned cold, and gray flying swords appeared around him, with sword energy crisscrossing down. It turned out that he was also a sword cultivator. In the last battle at sea, this old monster in the early Nascent Soul stage did not show his true ability at all.

For a moment, flying swords swept across the sky, shining like stars.

Ning Daoran kept manipulating the golden sword to block, and the Liangyi Sword Art was running until it returned to its original state, but the overall magic power was extremely different, and it was impossible to block it. In a blink of an eye, a gray flying sword found a flaw, broke through the air and landed on the Wanxiang Yunlei Armor! "Puff!"

The Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor clanged, sparks flew, and after a moment, a hole was drilled in it. Then the flying sword pierced Ning Daoran's heart and directly hit his heart meridian! "Puff..."

He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly.

At this point, there is no chance of winning.

He uttered a spell and used the water escape technique to quickly dive into the depths of Bamboo Wind Lake. Then he took back the Golden Silk Sword and the flags and plates of the Flowing Fire Demon God Formation. As a cover, the overwhelming number of Grade A and Grade B paper figurines were swept away by the magic power of the Nascent Soul stage!

It was simply impossible to resist. Even the top-grade paper figures would explode under the opponent's powerful magic power!

"You little bastard, can you escape?!"

The ancestor of the Xu family tried his best to chase and kill them, and some soul-seeking insects that could track breath appeared again in the water and mud.

Ning Daoran's face turned pale, and he quickly used his soul to order the fire-eating ants to kill the insects. Instantly, dozens of soul-seeking insects were killed by the fire-eating ants again. At the same time, thousands of fire-eating ants soared into the sky and turned into a stream of fire and wind to attack the ancestor of the Xu family!

"Um?"

The ancestor of the Xu family roared, swung his iron palm to smash the fire-eating ants, and said in a deep voice: "Top ten spiritual insects? So what, can they resist my true meaning of the void?"

As he spoke, he pushed his palms sideways, and instantly a vortex formed around him. Suddenly, thousands of fire-eating ants exploded one after another as if they had fallen into a frying pan!

But even so, there were still more fire-eating ants rushing out of the ground and killing the ancestor of the Xu family, trying to give Ning Daoran a chance to escape.
