Chapter 370: Still Strong in Age
In just less than a month, the Qingxiefang branch opened up and became a booming business on Liuhua Island.
On the day of the store opening ceremony, not only did the island owner Ning Daoran come in person to congratulate, even the great elder Chen Liang of Kunpeng Immortal City came with a group of Jindan cultivators to congratulate.
In addition, a handwritten scroll from the city lord Lin Tiannan was delivered. The simple four words "Business is booming" undoubtedly gilded the Liuhuafang City branch of Qingxiefang.
If the backer of Liufeng Market is a late Jindan great cultivator, then the backer of Liuhua Market is now a mid-Yuanying great cultivator, plus a Kunpeng Immortal City as the backer! Those casual cultivators who were waiting and watching naturally all flocked to Liuhua Market, there was no suspense about that.
Ning Daoran also understood the courtesy of reciprocity. Before Chen Liang left, he not only gave him tens of thousands of kilograms of purple jade rice, but also gave Lin Tiannan ten kilograms of the best spiritual tea on the island for him to taste.
Chen Liang came happily and left happily, with his mouth almost grinning to his ears.
However, compared with the booming business in Liuhua Market, the business in Liufeng Market suddenly became much quieter.
…
Liufeng Island, the island owner’s cave residence.
“How hateful!”
Huang Yihan gently placed his palm on the table and said, "In the past few days, the business in the market has decreased by at least 50%. Many cultivators and family forces have requested to cancel their leases."
"Who would have thought that Ning Daoran could actually invite Qingxiefang to come."
Nangong Rou's beautiful eyes were filled with hatred, and she said, "What's even more hateful is that Lin Tiannan is so partial to Liuhua Island. Could it be that our Liufeng Island and Chigua Island are not territories under the rule of Lin Tiannan?"
"Rou'er, don't be anxious."
At the side, the old Zhao family ancestor frowned and said, "How many times do I have to tell you to be patient? Although the business in the market is much worse now, we should not give up. Next, we should attract more forces, lower the rent, and refund the difference to those forces that have already rented shops. The reputation of my Liufeng Market must be maintained bit by bit."
"snort……"
Nangong Rou looked at the Zhao family ancestor with resentment: "Husband, what else are you talking about~~"
"You are just too impatient."
The Zhao family's ancestor raised his hand and gently stroked Nangong Rou's beautiful face, his eyes full of pity.
"Well."
Huang Yihan, who was drinking tea, almost vomited in the cup.
"In that case, Huang will go back to Chigua Island first and won't disturb you two anymore." Huang Yihan was a tactful man and quickly turned around and left.
The restrictions in the cave flickered, and a great battle began. About half a minute later, Nangong Rou, with a flushed face and sweat dripping, lay on the Zhao family ancestor's mountain-like chest muscles, and said softly: "You, I really misjudged you at the beginning. I didn't expect you to be so strong and healthy."
"Hahahaha, that's natural..."
There was a hint of guilt in the Zhao ancestor's hearty laughter.
…
As a result, the business of Liuhuafang City flourished, and soon the revenue accounted for more than 90% of the profits of Sandao.
Liuhua Market has the best timing and location, and Liufeng Market has no choice but to accept it.
In this way, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran is 252 years old.
At this time, in the cave of the island master of Liuhua Island, a wisp of spiritual cloud rose into the sky and rushed out of the cave directly, forming a spiritual cloud with a radius of about 30 miles on the island! After more than a hundred years of refining and polishing, the green water turtle that Ning Daoran had high hopes for was finally about to form a pill!
For a moment, the aura of Dan Jin enveloped the three Liuhua Islands! In the pond in the cave, the body of the green water turtle grew a lot. The tortoise shell was huge, with a radius of about ten meters. It lay on the water like a small island.
"Xiao Gui, come on, make the pill successfully in one go!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and threw out dozens of fine True Blood Pills! "Brother Ran, I'll try my best..."
The Green Water Turtle swallowed all the True Blood Pills in one gulp, and immediately, a surge of blood energy began to surge in its body. For a moment, the spiritual clouds above its head began to sway slowly.
After two full days, another strange phenomenon occurred.
On the shell of the green water turtle, which was constantly gathering strength, lines of ancient characters with flickering light suddenly appeared. Those characters were vague, extremely sacred, and filled with a strong ancient flavor.
"Um?"
Ning Daoran frowned.
When he looked up, he found that these ancient characters were actually shining in the sky. In the spiritual clouds above his head, there were also wisps of ancient characters constantly flashing and disappearing, as if some kind of ancient totem ritual was being performed.
Sure enough, just as Ning Daoran had expected, the Green Water Turtle's bloodline was extremely good, possessing the two major attributes of water and wood. Now it was about to form a pill, and it had reached an important stage in the return of its bloodline to its ancestral roots.
Soon after, the spiritual cloud slowly retracted, and the Green Water Turtle began to condense the liquid into a pill.
"Sir."
At this time, Sui Zhuyue walked in from outside, frowning slightly and said, "The island master Huang of Chigua Island wants to see you."
"What is he doing here?"
Ning Daoran frowned slightly and walked out.
Huang Yihan is the owner of Chigua Island. Although he is now joining forces with Liufeng Island to open Liufeng Market to compete with Ning Daoran, he still has to give him the due face.
"Friend Huang, long time no see."
Ning Daoran offered tea and said with a smile, "I wonder why you suddenly came to visit me?"
"Fellow Daoist Ning is asking questions even though he already knows the answer. It's naturally because of this Dan-forming phenomenon."
Huang Yihan said, "I wonder who has formed the elixir? Judging from the appearance, it is not a human. Could it be the spirit beast in Daoyou's house?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran did not hide it: "When I was young, I passed by a wild lake. By chance, I took in a green water turtle. After so many years of practice, it finally began to form a pill. The vision you saw was exactly the sign of forming a pill."
"This turtle is so extraordinary?"
Huang Yihan's eyes were burning: "Would Huang be honored to see it?"
“No.”
Ning Daoran shook his head and said, "Not to mention that this is the critical stage of Dan formation. Even if it is not, this turtle is one of Ning's trump cards. I will never show it to others. I hope that Huang Daoyou will forgive me."
"I see."
Huang Yihan nodded: "In that case, I will not disturb you and will leave now."
"Farewell, fellow Taoist."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
Liufeng Island, the island owner’s cave residence.
Huang Yihan explained everything.
"It turns out to be a green water turtle that is about to form a pill."
Nangong Rou frowned slightly, "This tortoise has such a strange phenomenon after forming a golden elixir. I'm afraid its strength after forming a golden elixir cannot be underestimated. In the early stage of golden elixir, it may have the combat power comparable to that of a human in the middle stage of golden elixir. Ning Daoran is even more powerful. What should we do?"
The Zhao family ancestor looked calm and said, "So what? It's just a third-level early stage spirit beast. I can kill it in three moves. What is there to worry about?"
"Don't forget it, both of you."
Huang Yihan said with deep eyes: "Ning Daoran also has a third-stage spirit deer. Although this spirit deer has only appeared a few times, Huang has a deep impression of it. This deer's cultivation is unfathomable, and its combat power may not be inferior to Ning Daoran. If Fellow Daoist Zhao really wants to avenge Zhao Xin, he'd better think twice before speaking."
"When did I ever say I would avenge Zhao Xin?"
The Zhao family ancestor's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said, "It's just a descendant. If you lose him, you can still have another one. When I will take action to eliminate this evil obstacle Ning Daoran depends on my own situation. It has nothing to do with the rest of the people."
Huang Yihan smiled slightly: "Daoyou Zhao is right. I would like to ask you if you are going to prepare for the Infant Condensation?"
"Ning Ying..."
A hint of enthusiasm flashed across the eyes of the Zhao family ancestor, and he said, "Humph, it's not that easy to achieve Nascent Soul Condensation. How many people in the world who have reached Golden Core Perfection have died at the threshold of Nascent Soul Condensation? However, do you really think that I can't kill Ning Daoran without Nascent Soul? You are underestimating me. Don't worry, when the time comes, I will take his life."
Huang Yihan didn't say anything more.
…
A few months later.
The Green Water Turtle successfully formed a pill and became a third-order early spiritual beast. After forming the pill, it transformed into a young man in a green shirt. He had a soft voice and followed Ning Daoran around all day, calling him "Brother Ran".
During this time, Ning Daoran imprinted all the seal characters that appeared on the tortoise shell of the green water turtle in his mind, and finally confirmed with Xiaobai that these were actually the seal characters of the spirit turtle, one of the four ancient demon clan heavenly books! "Young Master."
Xiao Bai's face showed a little excitement. "This Spirit Turtle Seal is one of the opportunities from ancient times. When I was young, my father told me that in this human world where we live, the seals of the four ancient demon tribes have been lost for tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect that the blood of the Jade Water Turtle returned to its ancestral lineage and reproduced these characters. Although this Spirit Turtle Seal is incomplete, it is still an opportunity given by God."
"Indeed."
Ning Daoran's face was also full of excitement: "If I completely refine this Linggui seal script, what will happen?"
"Perhaps it will allow you to obtain a method that only existed in ancient times."
Therefore, Ning Daoran decided to go into seclusion and began to concentrate on studying this kind of turtle seal script.
…
However, the tree wants to stop but the wind does not calm down.
During the time that Ning Daoran was in seclusion, a number of things happened on Liuhua Island, and Sui Zhuyue went directly to Ning Daoran's seclusion cave to report all of these things.
First, Liuhua Market was attacked by a group of robber cultivators, and several shops were lost. Among the robber cultivators who attacked the market, there was even a Jindan-stage cultivator, which put Liuhua Market in a very passive position.
For this purpose, Ning Daoran specially refined a large-scale White Feather Flowing Sound Array and gave it to Sui Zhuyue to set up. Since then, Liuhua Market has returned to peace again. In addition, Liuhua Island paid to hire a great monk in the early Jindan stage named Xue Gui from Kunpeng Immortal City to sit in charge of the market. Liuhua Island is now extremely wealthy, and the commission of a mere early Jindan stage monk is a drop in the bucket.
A few months later, another big event happened.
The merchant ship of Qingxiefang was attacked by robbers on the Wuwang Sea and suffered heavy losses. A batch of talismans worth at least 100,000 spirit stones were stolen. The matter even reached the headquarters of Qingxiefang in the capital, and Zhao Yuanlong was severely scolded.
Although he did not vent his anger on Ning Daoran, it was obvious that Liuhua Island was to blame for this matter.
…
"Buzz~~~"
A figure walked out of the restricted cave, Ning Daoran came out of retreat. He frowned, "The movements are getting bigger and bigger. It seems that we really have to hit Liufeng Island hard."
Xiao Bai was slightly excited and said, "I will go with you, sir!"
