Chapter 308: Lieyang Dao Palace
"oh?"
Chen San's eyes lit up. He had been looking for an immortal seedling everywhere, but this was the first time he had met one who took the initiative to recommend himself.
But Chen San became alert in his heart. His many years of experience in cultivating immortals told him that the benefits that come to one's door often hide huge dangers. Unless both parties can benefit, the other party's target is very likely to be himself.
"Ningcheng, right?"
Chen Sanyi flicked his sleeves, and a chair in front of him moved forward automatically without any wind. He said, "Sit down. I will help you check your spiritual roots, bone age, and foundation of cultivation."
"yes!"
Ning Daoran sat down immediately and stretched out his hand.
Chen San took out the spiritual root test item from the storage bag. After a shake, it turned out to be a fifth-grade fire spiritual root. He then released a ray of magic power which landed on Ning Daoran's wrist. With a light touch, the other party's bone age was clearly known.
Sixteen indeed.
"Ning Cheng, why did you come to see me alone? Where are your family and your sect?"
"My dear senior, I am a casual cultivator... My master passed away a few years after I was initiated into the sect."
Ning Daoran said, "I have been practicing the Burning Flame Art for many years and finally reached the fourth level of Qi Refining with great difficulty. If I don't enter a famous sect, I am afraid I will never have another chance in this life. That's why I came here from afar and asked the senior to introduce me so that I can have a chance to enter the top ten immortal sects."
"Um."
Chen San was relieved. Everything could be explained with this. He nodded and smiled, "It is indeed too hard to practice alone for so many years, but your bone age is a little older. When the Lieyang Dao Palace opens its gate in two years, you will be eighteen years old... If you can break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen, I will recommend you to enter the Immortal Gate. How about it?"
"Okay, I will practice diligently and strive to advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining."
"good!"
Chen San immediately took out a refined bamboo slip and wrote Ning Daoran's age, cultivation, spiritual roots, etc. on it. He then left his own magic mark and said, "Meet me at Lushan Tower at this time in two years. I will take you up the mountain. As for whether you can succeed and whether you will be accepted into the mountain gate, it depends on your own luck."
"Okay, thank you, senior!"
Ning Daoran accepted the bamboo slip and showed an excited expression.
After he went downstairs, Chen San revealed a look of delight. Every time he found an immortal seedling for the Lieyang Taoist Palace, he would get some benefits from the Taoist Palace. Although the boy surnamed Ning's bone age was a little old, his cultivation was still not behind. In addition, he had a fifth-grade spiritual root, which actually met the conditions of the outer sect. The benefit of this immortal seedling quota was equivalent to falling into the pocket.
Thinking of this, Chen San was in a good mood: "Boss, give me another pot of wine, from Xinghua Village!"
…
Time flies and the years pass quickly.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. This year, Ning Daoran was 210 years old, already considered an elderly cultivator.
In the early morning, a ray of spiritual light shot up into the sky from Lingpu Cave.
In front of the cabin, the big stupid deer was bathed in auspicious light, and the five-colored plum blossoms on its body were slowly turning, making it look even more holy. At this moment, it had completed a breakthrough and was promoted to a third-level mid-stage spirit beast!
From this moment on, it should be no problem for Big Dumb Deer to fight against a human cultivator in the late Jindan stage alone.
"Old deer, you are awesome!"
On the side, Ning Daoran looked excited, even happier than when he himself had achieved a breakthrough.
The big stupid deer even let out a loud roar, indicating that it was just a piece of cake.
Ning Daoran immediately admonished Xiao Heizi and Bishuigui, indicating that they should follow Brother Lu’s example and keep running on the road to breaking through the levels.
As for the Demon Tai Sui raised in the pigsty, it does not need to break through the ranks. It is just a salted fish lying flat, eating and drinking every day, growing a lot of Gold Tai Sui and Blood Tai Sui meat, providing an endless supply of nutrients to the Ning family army.
After some research, Ning Daoran discovered that Erhei is really not picky about food.
Sometimes, by feeding it some bones of spirit fish or spirit sheep, it can even grow extremely precious Golden Tai Sui meat. The Golden Tai Sui meat can be eaten directly or used to refine fine True Blood Pills. It is rich in essence and can be regarded as an accelerator for Ning Daoran on the road to practicing the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra.
So, Erhei eats grass and squeezes out milk! In the afternoon, Ning Daoran sneaked into the Wansheng Weapon Shop opposite and secretly went to see what the three brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family were doing.
The three siblings made quite good progress. The elder brother Zhuo Yang made the fastest progress and was the first to advance to the seventh level of the Blood Qi Realm, making him a warrior in the late stage of the Blood Qi Realm. Within the next few months, Zhuo Yu also advanced to the seventh level of the Blood Qi Realm.
Zhuo Ting is a few years younger, so she is still at the sixth level of the Blood Qi Realm. However, with her talent, it should not be difficult for her to catch up with her two brothers.
The only shortcoming of this little girl is that she is a little weak in character. She is too well protected by her two brothers. However, as her cultivation level improves, her character will naturally change.
It is said that income is the backbone of a man, and realm is the confidence of a warrior.
A man cannot possess a Maybach and have an inferiority complex at the same time. Similarly, a warrior cannot possess the Baodan realm and be cowardly at the same time.
The principle is the same.
"come over."
On the roof, Ning Daoran was lying leisurely with a dogtail grass in his mouth.
Not far away, a first-class paper figure that looked like an old man floated over and knelt beside him with a respectful attitude.
Ning Daoran patted his storage bag, took out a notebook, and said, "It contains the second to fifth levels of the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra. You should keep it with you and give it to them at the right time to urge them to practice. I will not be in Yangji City for a long time in the future."
"Yes, Master!"
I accept the paper figure respectfully.
…
A few days later, Lushan Tower.
Ning Daoran changed into a green short shirt and transformed into the young man named "Ning Cheng". His bone age remained at eighteen years old, but his cultivation had already been promoted to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
At the age of eighteen, someone who has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining is actually already a genuine immortal seedling. With a little training, he has the chance to build a foundation before the age of thirty.
"Ning Cheng, you're here!"
Chen San, who was dressed in brocade clothes, took a liking to the young man at first sight.
Behind him, there were three other immortal seedlings, all of whom were in the Qi Refining stage. The oldest one was about the same age as Ning Daoran, and the youngest was only six or seven years old, at the first level of Qi Refining, a black charcoal boy who had just drawn Qi into his body.
"Let's go."
Chen San summoned a flying boat, carrying several people away from Yangji City and heading straight for the Lieyang Mountains in the north.
Everyone waited outside the mountain for two days.
Outside the fog, there are more and more people waiting. There are hundreds of people like Chen San who provide immortal seeds. There are also more and more young people from all over the place, nearly a thousand people, and it is bustling.
It is no wonder that the ten major immortal sects stand tall in the Eastern Wilderness’ immortal cultivation world and are always attracting a constant stream of worshippers. It would be a miracle if they could stop absorbing fresh blood on such a large scale.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Soon after, a ripple of magical power appeared in the fog ahead.
"The mountain gate is about to open!"
Chen San looked back at the young men and said, "Remember, follow the rules and don't make any noise, so as not to leave a bad impression on those immortal masters."
Ning Daoran nodded, and the other young men also nodded.
About a cup of tea later, the fog in front began to dissipate. Ning Daoran frowned. Although he did not release his golden elixir consciousness, he could easily capture the power of a fourth-order large formation in the fog, which was constantly being retracted. Soon the fog dissipated, and rays of sunlight shone down. The front was no longer a hazy forest, but instead a beautiful picture of green mountains and green waters.
"This... is this the Lieyang Dao Palace?"
The group of teenagers were stunned.
Ning Daoran was quite calm and didn't bother to pretend.
Figures fell from the sky, some at the Golden Core stage and some at the Foundation Establishment stage. They were all elders of the Lieyang Dao Palace. An elder at the early stage of the Golden Core stage flicked his sleeves and said calmly, "All immortal seedlings will register immediately, and the verification and selection will begin later."
"yes!"
Chen San and other providers of immortal seedlings nodded respectfully, and then began to take out the refined bamboo pieces to register their identities one by one. Ning Daoran was assigned an identity jade talisman, which was similar to the feeling when he first went to the Chaos Sect.
However, nearly two hundred years have passed, and his mentality has changed. He is now a Jindan cultivator, and this is just a formality. His only purpose is to sneak into the Lieyang Taoist Palace.
…
Not long after, an elder in the middle stage of foundation building, with a blazing aura all over his body, came over and said, "Ning Cheng, your bone age is too old, so you are not eligible to enter the inner sect selection. You will be directly listed as an outer sect disciple. Tomorrow, an outer sect elder will come to select disciples. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands!"
Not long after, Ning Daoran and hundreds of outer disciples were divided into several large courtyards.
For dinner, we had dinner in the outer canteen and the food was average.
Late at night, Chen San came.
"Ning boy..."
Chen San dragged Ning Cheng to a corner, took out a heavy bag from his storage bag, and said, "There are 100 spirit stones in it. Keep them. Practice well in the Taoist Palace in the future. You will need these spirit stones."
"ah?"
Ning Daoran was surprised and a little surprised.
Of course, this is a habit of Chen San.
Every time he brought in a fairy seedling that met the requirements from outside, he would receive two hundred spirit stones as a reward from the Lieyang Taoist Palace, and he would take out one hundred spirit stones from them and give them back to the fairy seedling in question. This was considered an investment. If the fairy seedling took off in the future, wouldn't it be of great benefit?
In the beginning, the reason why Chen San was able to build his foundation was because he invested in one of the immortal seedlings. That immortal seedling later became an inner disciple of the main peak and directly gave Chen San a foundation-building pill!
If it weren't for that investment, Chen San would have died of old age in the Qi Refining Stage. Whenever he thought of this, he felt that he was very wise! "Good!"
Ning Daoran was not shy. This was the money he earned from selling his body, so he had to take it!
…
late at night.
A group of young men in the Qi Refining Stage finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the snoring sounds like thunder came one after another in the bunk bed.
Ning Daoran turned around and left, and in a blink of an eye he disguised himself as Jianjia Sanren. He cast a spell and used the earth escape technique to leave the front yard hall, and then went directly to the main peak of the back mountain.
He came here for the Nine Yang Furnace Secret. If he could easily obtain the skills, why would he stay and become a disciple?
On the main peak, there are many restrictions.
Ning Daoran continued to crawl underground, slipping through the gaps in the restrictions, and finally entered the main peak without touching the formation. Further ahead was a towering ancient palace with a hint of the aura of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
