Chapter 357 Wanren City
"So strong?"
Ning Daoran was slightly stunned.
With his current strength, with twenty-one layers of the Eternal Green Art and fifteen layers of the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra protecting his body, an A-grade paper figurine with forty percent of his strength is already terrifying, and is only stronger than an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator. Yet, he was killed in an instant by a single strike of the Thunder Sword?
This means that... the Thunder Sword's attack will undoubtedly kill a Jindan in the middle stage, and against a Jindan in the late stage... it may also have unexpected effects! In short, the Thunder Sword has superb killing power. Compared with the Golden Silk Sword, the Thunder Sword's "armor-breaking" ability may be a little worse, but when used in conjunction with the Five Thunder God Mantra and the Yin-Yang Sword Intention, its killing power is far greater than that of the Golden Silk Sword!
Moreover, the Thunder Sword is extremely fast and is more suitable for sneak attacks than the Golden Sword.
"Buzz~~~"
Ning Daoran took the Thunder Sword into his body and frowned slowly. Although the Thunder Sword was powerful, this attack consumed at least 10% of his magic power. A fourth-level spiritual treasure is just a fourth-level spiritual treasure. It is indeed quite difficult for a Jindan cultivator to use it.
“Swish!”
He shook his palm again and released the second first-class paper figure. This first-class paper figure was a young woman with a charming appearance. She flew to the far side of the sky above Lingpu Cave, covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Master, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Daoran attacked again.
A powerful crossbow with a blood-colored glaze luster appeared in his hand, and a crossbow arrow shot out like thunder, at an extremely fast speed, and the crossbow arrow locked onto the young woman's aura, making it impossible to avoid! "Ah?"
The first-class paper figurine that looked like a young woman hurriedly activated the Dragon Demon Power, and suddenly layers of dragon scale-like energy condensed in front of her. At the same time, the Eternal Green Art was running, and countless evergreen and undefeated tree artistic conception protected her.
"puff!"
With a slight sound, the crossbow arrow of the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow broke through layers of barriers, instantly pierced through the young woman's heart, and shot her to death in the wind. Due to the great force, the wound on the young woman's heart was as big as a bowl, and all the flesh and blood were evaporated by the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow. The killing power can be imagined!
"Bang~~~"
The next second, the second level of hidden power in the crossbow arrow exploded, and the young woman's body exploded directly into a cloud of blood mist in the air. Scattered pieces of paper in the blood mist floated and burned, and she was actually shot away and evaporated from the face of the earth!
“Oh shit…”
Ning Daoran was shocked, and looked down at the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow in his hand. This thing was really extraordinary! It was a pity that the side effects were exactly the same as the Thunder Sword. The fourth-level spiritual treasure consumed a huge amount of mana, and Ning Daoran was only a middle-stage Jindan. He was indeed suspected of a small horse pulling a big cart. This arrow directly absorbed nearly 10% of his mana.
If this is the case, both the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow and the Thunder Sword must be used properly in the future. After all, mana is extremely important during a fight. Once too much is consumed, it is very likely that one will fall into an irretrievable situation.
Although the Eternal Youth Art is mysterious and can generate magic power very quickly, Ning Daoran has a profound foundation after all. Even with the Eternal Youth Art, it will take a lot of time to fill his dantian with magic power.
After putting the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow into his body, Ning Daoran frowned. Take it slow. Let him nurture these two spiritual treasures in his body first. After he condenses his infant soul, at least he won't have to worry about a fourth-level spiritual treasure. As for if he gets a better spiritual treasure in the future, he can just replace it.
So, he put away his excitement and walked out of Lingpu Cave.
"Bamboo Moon."
He looked at the beautiful maid, raised his hand and handed her a jade bottle, saying, "This is a bottle of Zhen Yuan Dan for improving the mana of the middle stage of foundation building. I am about to go into seclusion to continue to comprehend the skills. I think you should not go out for the next few days. Just stay in seclusion with me in the cave. I hope you can advance to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible and plan to form a pill."
"yes!"
Sui Zhuyue smiled dimples and said, "Then I will retreat in the side hall. If you need anything, please inform me with a sound transmission note."
"Just rest assured and concentrate on your practice. Don't worry about anything else."
"yes!"
So, the master and the servant went into seclusion separately.
Sui Zhuyue took the Zhenyuan Pill and practiced diligently to increase his magic power, while Ning Daoran continued to study the art of combining the five elements into one. As long as he failed to master the art, he would feel uneasy. He didn't know when the Black Tide and the Crimson Demon Legion would descend on the earth again, so he had to be prepared in advance.
…
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was two hundred and forty years old and was almost turning into an old monster.
Into the Lingpu Cave, Xiaobai floated in.
"Sir, the information you asked me to find out has been revealed."
Xiao Bai bowed and said, "Three days later, at the grand auction in Qingxiefang in Wanren City, the grand finale treasure is indeed the Nascent Soul Sacred Item, a very precious Red Sun Ganoderma. It is said that this item is consigned to Qingxiefang by a Nascent Soul cultivator. The starting price is set at 50,000 Spiritual Stones, and the final transaction price is estimated to be no less than 200,000 Spiritual Stones."
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "In that case, I will go to Wanren City."
Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
Ning Daoran walked out of the wooden house where he was in seclusion, dressed in a green shirt. After two years of practice, the artistic conception of the Eternal Youth Art became more and more intense, and his whole temperament became more calm, peaceful and indifferent. Coupled with his eighteen-year-old face, if he didn't speak, he would indeed have the feeling of an immortal.
Over the years, Ning Daoran has been planning for the Holy Medicine for Condensing Infants.
The Demon Infant Grass has been obtained in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, and is now planted in a spiritual field with many restrictions in the Lingpu Cave. In addition, the seeds of the Demon Infant Grass have also been replanted by him. Now, after two years of growth, there are only some green sprouts. It can be seen that the growth cycle of this top-level medicinal material is indeed very long.
As for other holy medicines for forming infants, they must naturally be obtained from various channels, and buying them at sky-high prices in auction houses is the most time-saving and labor-saving shortcut, but the risks are slightly greater.
"Sir."
After Ning Daoran walked out of the Lingpu Cave, Sui Zhuyue, dressed in a flowing cloud skirt, walked out of the side hall. In the past two years, her magic power has improved a lot, and her spirit has greatly improved. She said respectfully, "Sir, are you going out?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran said, "I have to go to Wanren City to do something. You stay in the cave and continue to practice. There is no need to be distracted."
"yes!"
Sui Zhuyue bowed and saluted, her beautiful eyes like water, not daring to look Ning Daoran in the eye.
…
In the afternoon, Ning Daoran left Kunpeng Immortal City and performed a wood escape in the dense forest in the north. When he flew out of the dense forest, he had disguised himself as a thin young monk with extremely high cheekbones. He was wearing a gray-yellow long gown. His aura was still in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but his appearance and soul were very different. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
For a Jindan cultivator with overwhelming power, it is normal for him to have a bit of violent temper.
The identity of this incarnation is called Huanglu Zhenren, a wandering cultivator who roams around Yunzhou.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The sound of breaking wind was sharp, and he no longer had any concerns, and headed straight for his destination.
Two days later, they arrived at a majestic city located on the plain. This city, like Kunpeng Immortal City, was a big city in the eastern part of Yunzhou. The only difference was that Wanren City was a city where immortal cultivators and mortals lived together, and it had a heavier atmosphere of worldly affairs. It was unlike Kunpeng Immortal City, where only immortal cultivators were flying around in the sky.
Inside the city, there stands a huge Qingxiefang.
The moment Ning Daoran stepped into the shop, he saw a very familiar figure. The man was dressed in a green shirt, with a shop owner's token hanging from his waist. He looked mature and dignified. It was Zhao Yuanlong! In the past, when he was in Bailong Fairy City, Ning Daoran and Lin Man went to Qingxie Shop together. The owner of that Qingxie Shop was Zhao Yuanlong. He didn't expect that sixty years later, he would see this shop owner again in Wanren City!
It was probably because after the Qingxiefang in Bailong Immortal City suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, Zhao Yuanlong became disheartened and finally moved his family to Wanren City, where he served as the head of the shop in an attempt to make a comeback!
Moreover, at this time, Zhao Yuanlong had made great success in cultivating immortals and had even successfully formed a golden elixir, becoming an early-stage golden elixir cultivator.
"This fellow Taoist."
Zhao Yuanlong recognized Ning Daoran's identity as a mid-stage Jindan at a glance, and stepped forward to meet him, smiling, "What's your name, friend?"
"I am Master Huanglu, a casual cultivator."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Huang Lu. I'm Zhao Yuanlong, the owner of Qingxiefang. May I ask what you need from me?"
"Tomorrow's auction."
Ning Daoran asked, "I wonder how many spirit stones are needed to qualify for the auction?"
"One hundred spirit stones will do!"
Zhao Yuanlong smiled and said, "There are many guest rooms in the backyard of our hotel. If Daoist Huang Lu wants to attend the auction tomorrow, you might as well stay at Qingxiefang tonight. Our place has everything you need, and there will be singing and dancing to entertain guests at night. We will definitely not let you down."
"That's great. Thank you, Master."
Ning Daoran took out a hundred spirit stones, and Zhao Yuanlong flicked his sleeves. Then a young and beautiful female cultivator handed a jade talisman to Ning Daoran and took him to the backyard, where they settled down in an extremely elegant courtyard.
Ning Daoran frowned, released his spiritual sense to take a look and was secretly amazed. There were more than a hundred such courtyards in the huge backyard of Qingxiefang. It was indeed a bit scary that Qingxiefang could be developed to this extent.
At this time, many great cultivators had already lived in these small courtyards. After sensing Ning Daoran's spiritual sense exploration, several Jindan spiritual senses also came to explore, with an appearance of not returning the favor. For a while, everyone was exploring back and forth, and it was quite lively.
After a while, Ning Daoran got bored.
After returning to the main building of the courtyard and setting up dozens of prohibitions to isolate the investigation, he sat on the ground and continued to study the art of combining the five elements, no longer caring about the right and wrong outside.
…
The next day, early morning.
"Senior Huang Lu."
The beautiful female cultivator came over again and said, "The master ordered me to take you to the front hall. The auction is about to begin. Since you are here for this, you must not miss it."
"good."
Ning Daoran walked out in a yellow shirt and went to the front hall with the female cultivator.
The backyard was winding and secluded, with paths leading in all directions. The female cultivator walked around and then took Ning Daoran into the private room with the corresponding number. She knelt on the ground and said with a smile, "The auction is about to begin. Senior, do you need me to serve you again?"
"No need, I know the rules."
"yes!"
The female cultivator left in displeasure, with a hint of disappointment on her pretty face.
