Chapter 339 Five Elements Kung Fu
"I am Sui Xuan, a Taoist priest, and I have come to thank you for helping me out."
"You're too polite, Brother Sui."
Ning Daoran smiled and led Sui Xuan and his daughter into the cave and served them tea.
The furnishings in the cave were quite simple, and no utensils had been added yet. The big stupid deer placed a small table in the pavilion and began to brew spiritual tea.
Sui Xuan glanced at the spirit deer and was secretly shocked. The aura it exuded was actually that of a terrifying third-stage mid-stage spirit beast. The actual combat power of such a third-stage mid-stage spirit beast was comparable to that of a human in the late Jindan stage!
Ning Daoran himself is a third-level formation master and in the middle stage of the Golden Core. With the addition of a third-level middle stage spirit deer... his true combat power is probably better than that of a late stage Golden Core.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, this is my daughter Sui Zhuyue. Zhuyue, come and meet Senior Ning."
"yes!"
Following behind Sui Xuan was a young girl in a green short skirt. She had a beautiful face and looked very spiritual. She was the kind of girl who looked very fresh and lively at first glance.
Sui Zhuyue stepped forward quickly, bowed to Ning Daoran, and said with a smile: "Sui Zhuyue greets Senior Ning!"
"Young friend Sui, there is no need to be so polite."
Ning Daoran motioned for the two to sit down. At this time, the big stupid deer had already served three cups of spiritual tea. It had a holy aura, and its pair of antlers were glowing with a bright glow. The three cups of spiritual tea were placed on top of the antlers, very steadily without any shaking. When the spiritual tea fell on the table, Sui Xuan and Sui Zhuyue, father and daughter, were both extremely careful.
Sui Xuan was only an early Jindan cultivator, while Sui Zhuyue was in the middle foundation building stage. Things like the spirit beast senior serving tea to them made both of them extremely restrained.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, is this your first time visiting Kunpeng Immortal City?" Sui Xuan asked.
"Exactly!"
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled: "I'm new here, and I just happen to have a lot of things to ask Brother Sui for advice."
"I don't deserve your advice, but if you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know."
"In that case, thank you very much!"
Then, Ning Daoran asked some questions about the charges for refining formations and pills in the city, as well as the market conditions for selling materials in the city and the price fluctuations of materials, etc. They were mainly related to the business of cultivating immortals, and nothing else was mentioned.
Sui Xuan's eyes were sharp. It was a rare occasion for him to deal with a cultivator of this level, so he naturally told the story in detail, telling him everything he knew. As for Sui Zhuyue, she sat next to her father in a pretentious manner, with her legs together and her hands on her legs, looking extremely well-behaved.
During the conversation, Ning Daoran also learned some information about Sui Xuan and Sui Zhuyue.
Sui Xuan succeeded in forming a golden elixir in his early years, but he was a straightforward person and was unwilling to do anything against his will, so he did not have many ways to earn spirit stones. The only channel he had was a second-level mid-grade talisman master.
And what kind of place is Kunpeng Immortal City? It is crowded with all kinds of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage. It is naturally difficult for Sui Xuan to make a name for himself in the Immortal City with his mere second-grade, mid-quality talisman skills.
Not to mention the second-grade top-quality talismans, even the third-grade talismans can be refined by many talisman masters in the city. Under such pressure, Sui Xuan can naturally obtain fewer resources. He himself has consumed a lot of elixirs and spirit stones in his Jindan cultivation. Now that Sui Zhuyue has also advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, the prices of elixirs that improve the magic power of the foundation building period are not cheap. For a while, the life of this father and daughter became extremely tight.
Coincidentally, when Ning Daoran arrived at Kunpeng Immortal City, he encountered the situation that Sui Xuan wanted to cancel the lease and change the cave. Without Ning Daoran's help, it would be difficult for Sui Xuan to get that large amount of spirit stones.
After chatting for nearly an hour, Sui Xuan said goodbye to Sui Zhuyue and left.
The cave they are renting now has a second-level spiritual vein, which is far away from Ning Daoran's cave on the 66th floor, but it is convenient for cultivators to fly back and forth. Ning Daoran said a few polite words, and Sui Xuan also expressed that he would visit often in the future.
…
After Sui Xuan left, Ning Daoran began to arrange the cave.
He released Xiaobai and let Xiaobai preside over the decoration of the cave. Then all kinds of furniture and furnishings in Xiaobai's storage bag appeared in the cave one by one. In a blink of an eye, this cave of considerable size had the feeling of a fairy cave. Even Xiao Heizi and the green water turtle were released to play in the lotus pond.
Afterwards, Ning Daoran began to retreat in the main hall of the cave.
The main goal of this retreat is to study the Crimson Demon imprisoned in the Soul Refining Tower. Due to the existence of the Black Tide, the Crimson Demon Legion will definitely make a comeback, and a cautious person like Ning Daoran will definitely have to respond in advance.
"Gah~~~"
After setting up countless restrictions, Ning Daoran released the Crimson Demon. Although the Crimson Demon was suppressed in the Soul Refining Tower, its murderous aura did not weaken in the slightest. Once it left the Soul Refining Tower, its aura continued to regenerate, and it soon recovered to its peak state.
Ning Daoran had the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra to protect him, so he had nothing to worry about and began to experiment on the crimson demon.
For a moment, the cave was filled with attacks of various attributes such as lightning, fire, water, strong winds, and rock spikes. Under such a fierce attack, the crimson demon screamed wildly and was extremely violent.
Ning Daoran frowned. After studying for a long time, he discovered some details. The Crimson Demon could indeed absorb the magic power of the five elements, but the absorption speed had a threshold. Once the threshold was exceeded, the overflowing magic power could still cause damage to the Crimson Demon's body. This was why his Five Thunder Divine Curse could burn the Crimson Demon to a crisp.
Therefore, cultivators with slightly lower cultivation bases appear to be "immune" to the attacks of the Crimson Demon, that is, they cannot cause any harm. However, the attacks of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are often earth-shattering and can suppress the Crimson Demon in a short period of time, making it lose its ability to move.
But the body of the Crimson Demon is not in the Five Elements. Even the forbidden techniques of the Nascent Soul cultivators cannot kill the Crimson Demon's body. At most, it can only paralyze the Crimson Demon's combat power for a short period of time. After a long time, the Crimson Demon will be able to absorb all the Five Elements magic power it has received, and then launch an offensive again.
Therefore, the number of crimson demons that a Yuanying cultivator can deal with is limited. Once the number of crimson demons is too many and exceeds the magic capacity of the Yuanying cultivator, the same situation of "many ants bite an elephant to death" will occur. This is also the reason why Yuanying cultivators like Lin Qing'er died in that disaster.
…
Time seems to have no place in cultivation, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Ning Daoran also secluded himself for two whole years. During these two years, he cast spells on this crimson demon countless times and conducted experiments in various situations. Finally, Ning Daoran came to a conclusion.
If you want to truly solve the problem of the Crimson Demon and want to kill it with one blow, you must develop a power that can "jump out of the five elements." Only by mastering this power can you deal with the Black Tide crisis.
But the entire Eastern Wilderness world of immortal cultivation is encompassed between heaven and earth. Which of all matter in the world, even light, wind, fire, rain, etc., can be separated from the five elements?
Finally, Ning Daoran thought of a direction——
The five elements become one!
The only way is to combine the five elements into one, and then try to see if the crimson demon can be suppressed.
However, almost every great cultivator has thought about the unity of the five elements, but no one has ever heard of anyone who can accomplish it. Even among the old immortals in the Spirit Transformation Stage who have lived for thousands of years in the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world, no one has ever heard of anyone who can achieve the unity of the five elements.
Ning Daoran decided to give it a try.
In the afternoon, we came to Qingxiefang, the largest store in the city.
Qingxiefang is known as the best chamber of commerce in the world, spanning three kingdoms of the Eastern Wilderness's immortal world. The Qingxiefang in a top immortal city like Kunpeng Immortal City is quite large, like a flagship store.
"senior."
Inside Qingxiefang, a female administrator in a white skirt and red shirt came forward with a smile and said, "I wonder what you would like to buy at Qingxiefang, senior. I, Mei Ning, can guide you."
"Mei Ning?"
Ning Daoran smiled faintly: "Not a bad name, my name is Ning Daoran."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It turns out to be Senior Ning!"
Mei Ning covered her mouth and chuckled, "I have never seen you before, Senior. Have you just arrived at Kunpeng Immortal City?"
"That's not the case. I have already settled in Kunpeng Immortal City two years ago. I just secluded myself for two years after arriving."
"I see."
Mei Ning said softly, "I wonder what you would like to buy?"
"Kung Fu."
Ning Daoran asked, "Does your house have any high-level water, metal, or earth-attributed skills?"
"Yes, I do, but I don't know if it will be worthy of your approval."
Mei Ning held the peach blossom fan in her hand and said with a smile: "Please follow me, senior. I will take you to the Gongfa Pavilion right away."
"Thank you!"
In the market town, on top of an attic, the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of wood. The space in the attic was extremely spacious, and rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of bamboo slips, jade slips, animal bones, etc., which were classified very meticulously, ranging from yellow-level techniques to earth-level techniques.
Ning Daoran took a quick glance and found three earth-level martial arts techniques, but they were all relatively useless and not what he needed. Moreover, they were too expensive. Each one was priced at more than 100,000 spirit stones, which made him wonder, "Why don't they just rob them?"
Ning Daoran picked through a list of water-attributed skills, and his eyes fell on a scroll of bamboo slips.
The Mysterious Secret of Water and Moon, a top-grade Xuan-level skill, is priced at thirty-eight thousand spirit stones.
This price... is still a bit expensive.
However, Ning Daoran already had his own spirit stones, so this was not a big deal for him.
Afterwards, he selected two more techniques.
Golden Tripod Mysterious Art, a top-grade Mysterious-level martial art.
Hou Tu Jue, a top-grade Xuan-level martial art.
The three kinds of skills just happen to have the attributes of the three elements of water, gold and earth. Ning Daoran's idea is to choose one skill from each of the five elements and practice it until they return to nature. In the end, by combining the essence of returning to nature together, perhaps they can find the direction of the unity of the five elements.
"Friend Mei Ning."
Ning Daoran said, "I want all three of these skills. Can you give me a discount? How about 100,000 spirit stones?"
"this……"
Mei Ning pursed her red lips and said, "Since Senior really wants it and wants to buy three manuals at once, I will make the decision. One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand."
"Thank you!"
Ning Daoran nodded. In fact, there was no need to think about it. Even if it was 100,000, Qingxiefang would definitely make a huge profit.
…
After acquiring the skills, he returned to the cave and continued his practice in seclusion.
An hour later.
The three skills of Shuiyue Xuan Jue, Jinding Xuan Gong and Hou Tu Jue have all returned to their original simplicity!
Ning Daoran now possesses a Dinghuo spiritual body, and his spiritual roots have reached the fourth level. His talent and comprehension are already in the category of "quasi-genius". It doesn't take too much time to practice these Xuan-level techniques. It only took less than four thousand years for each one to return to its original state! After that, he began to try to mix the essence of the five elements, Shuiyue Xuan Jue, Jinding Xuan Gong, Hou Tu Jue, Jiuyang Ronglu Shen Jue, and Wan Gu Changqing Jue, to see if there would be any unexpected changes.
