Chapter 383 Guest
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
After the battle at the source, although the black tide did not retreat and still surrounded Kunpeng Immortal City, its spreading trend was stopped. The number of medium-grade spirit stones consumed by Kunpeng Immortal City to maintain the Big Dipper Formation was also reduced to dozens of pieces per day, which was within the range that Lin Tiannan could happily bear.
As a result, the two sides entered a stalemate.
…
On this day, Ning Daoran, who was in the cave, received an invitation from the Seven Star True Lord, inviting Ning Daoran to participate in the Laba Festival in his cave, saying that many delicious dishes had been prepared.
As for the list of invited guests, in addition to Ning Daoran, there are also Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang.
For the past few months, Ning Daoran has been in seclusion, honing his skills in the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra and refining some paper figurines. Lin Xuyan has come to visit him a few times, but Liu Wushuang was also in seclusion, so they have never met.
The kindness of Yuanying Zhenjun could not be refused, so he had to go. What's more, Ning Daoran had a good impression of Qixing Zhenjun. This Yuanying stage senior had a straightforward personality and was not the kind of person who would hide everything.
noon.
Arrive at a cave on the top floor and visit the Seven Star True Lord.
“Brother!”
The person who came out to greet him was Lin Xuyan, who immediately pulled Ning Daoran into the cave and said with a smile, "Master's maid is preparing the dishes, and they will be ready soon. How about we play a game of chess?"
There is a three-story pavilion in the cave. In the first-story pavilion, a maid in a white long dress is preparing the necessary dishes. She looks very slim.
But when Ning Daoran saw it clearly, he was stunned! Although this woman had a slender figure and a beautiful face, if you look closely, you can still see traces of rivets in her nostrils and mouth. In addition, if you use the Golden Core Divine Sense to scan the joints of her body, you can easily see that most of the internal structures are made of metal and various materials, not flesh and blood! Puppet maid? !
Moreover, it was a third-grade, top-grade puppet! "Huh?"
Ning Daoran was surprised and said in a voice transmission: "Lin Xuyan, your uncle actually uses a puppet as a maid, is that right..."
“Ahem!”
Lin Xuyan coughed lightly and said, "Brother, don't be confused. My Seven-Star Uncle doesn't have that kind of quirk. It's just that in addition to being a mid-Nascent Soul, he is also a fourth-rank low-grade puppet master. So this puppet... is just made by him to take care of his daily life. As for that, there are naturally other candidates..."
“Bang!”
A slap came from the sky, making Lin Xuyan spin on the spot.
The Seven Stars True Lord stood behind him with an air of authority and said, "Lin Xuyan, you are saying bad things about your uncle again?"
"How can that be possible? Master-uncle has wronged me to death."
Lin Xuyan complained bitterly: "Besides, my disciple and I were talking in secret, so how could my uncle know that my disciple said something bad about you? Could it be that my uncle has really mastered the art of mind reading?"
"Stop talking nonsense, kid!"
Seven Stars Master waved his sleeves, not looking like a Taoist master at all, and said, "Uncle Master, I know you have something to hide from the way your lips move and your smirk is obvious!"
Ning Daoran held back his laughter, thinking that this slap was a great and excellent one! "Ahem, nephew Ning, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
The Seven Stars True Lord looked at Ning Daoran, but even the way he addressed him had changed. Last time it was Ning Little Friend, but this time it turned out to be Ning Nephew. However, Ning Daoran and Lin Xuyan were sworn brothers, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with calling him Ning Nephew.
"Okay, let's get ready to eat!"
Seven Stars Master walked up the stairs and said with a smile, "The banquet is on the third floor. Let's go. Wushuang is already waiting for us on the third floor."
…
Come to the third floor.
The beautiful Taoist nun who had changed into a flowing cloud-like plain skirt was already standing at the window, with a smile on her face: "Greetings, Uncle Master, Uncle Master, greetings to Brother Ning."
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Liu."
Ning Daoran clasped his fists and smiled, then sat down with Lin Xuyan.
Soon, a table full of delicious food was prepared. Although the puppet maid's cooking skills were not as good as Ning Daoran and Dabenlu's, they were far better than those of ordinary chefs in famous restaurants, and the food still tasted excellent.
Before he knew it, Ning Daoran had drunk cup after cup of spirit wine, and his head felt a little dizzy.
"Nephew Ning..."
Seven Stars True Lord narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have seen the deep friendship between you and Lin Xuyan. You have also practiced the secret Liang Yi Sword Art of our sect. I have a suggestion. Would you like to join us as a guest of Liang Yi Sect? In this way, you can use Liang Yi Sword Art to travel the world legitimately. And the engagement between you and the little girl Wushuang..."
"Ah, wait..."
Ning Daoran was confused.
"Uncle Master!"
Liu Wushuang blushed: "What...what engagement? Between me and Fellow Daoist Ning..."
“Ahem!”
Seven Stars True Lord coughed lightly and said, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. How old are you? You are over a hundred years old. If you don't want to get married, can't you wait until you condense your infant? What if you can't condense your infant before the opportunity comes? Wouldn't that waste your whole life? Uncle is an experienced person. If you want to get a Taoist couple, then get one. You don't need to ask about this matter. Just let Uncle make the decision."
“…”
Liu Wushuang blushed: "Oh, Uncle Master, you..."
Ning Daoran looked at the Seven Star True Lord with an arrogant look on his face, why else would he be called a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage? His words were so domineering.
“Ahem…”
He said helplessly, "Senior Qixing, since I have already practiced the Liang Yi Sword Art, and I do have a brotherly relationship with Lin Xuyan, it is easy to discuss joining the Liang Yi Sect as a guest official. However, as for becoming a Taoist partner with Daoist Liu, this kind of thing still requires mutual consent, so please don't force it."
The Seven Stars True Lord's eyes lit up: "Okay, in that case, it's settled that you will become a guest official of my Liangyi Sect!"
The biggest purpose of his "Hongmen Banquet" was to win over Ning Daoran as a guest official of the Liangyi Sect. After all, to be honest, it was impossible for him, the Seven-Star True Lord, not to be envious of such a Jindan cultivator who could fight the Blood Demon alone and sweep away the Crimson Demon.
Even if he was only a guest official, and had established a good relationship, this relationship would be extremely precious to the Liangyi Sect, and it might even influence the future of the Liangyi Sect.
"but……"
Ning Daoran groaned for a moment, and then said, "I am ambitious and want to travel around and see all kinds of scenery in the world of immortal cultivation. So although I can serve as a guest official of your sect, I cannot stay here permanently. I hope you can forgive me."
"No problem!"
Seven Stars True Lord smiled and said, "You just need to leave your name on the guest list, so that everyone in the entire cultivation world knows that Ning Daoran is a guest of Liangyi Sect, and that's all."
"That's great!"
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "Thank you, senior!"
"Since you are already a member of the Liangyi Sect, why do you still call me senior?"
“That’s right.”
Ning Daoran changed his words and said, "Then I will do the same as Lin Xuyan and call you Uncle Master! Ning Daoran greets Uncle Master!"
"good!"
Seven Stars True Lord stroked his beard. He felt so comfortable when he heard the name "Uncle Master". He then glanced at the pretty Taoist nun opposite him and said, "Wushuang, what are you waiting for? Go meet Brother."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"yes!"
The blush on Liu Wushuang's pretty face had not yet completely faded. She immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Wushuang greets Senior Brother Ning!"
"Junior sister, there is no need to be so polite!"
Ning Daoran clasped his fists and smiled: "Sit down and eat."
"good!"
At this moment, Liu Wushuang felt that Senior Brother Ning was much more reliable than Senior Brother Lin. Senior Brother Lin was not as arrogant and unreasonable as him, who always wanted to tie him up and throw him into Senior Brother Ning's bed. That... that was so embarrassing!
…
"Uncle Master."
After three rounds of drinks, Ning Daoran frowned and said, "Now Kunpeng Immortal City and Black Tide have reached a stalemate, and as the master of Liuhua Island, I have been out for half a year, so I plan to return to Liuhua Island. I wonder if Master Uncle is willing to go to Liuhua Island as a guest. I will definitely arrange the best cave for Master Uncle to retreat. Although it is certainly not as good as the cave provided by Nantian Palace, it is also a good place to recuperate the body and mind."
"Oh, Liuhua Island?"
Seven Stars True Lord smiled and said, "I heard earlier that you, the island master, played a great role in the battle of Liuhua Island. You joined hands with fellow Daoist Du'e to kill the physical body of the old demon Wuwei. This sounds very gratifying. So, I will live on your Liuhua Island for a while. Xu Yan, Wushuang, will you two come with me?"
"nature!"
Lin Xuyan said in a deep voice: "My brother is the island master, and I, Lin Xuyan, am the deputy island master. As the deputy island master, since I have already arrived in Yunzhou, how can I not go for an inspection?"
Liu Wushuang said with disdain: "Brother, do you have any shame?..."
“Hahaha~~~”
Lin Xuyan smiled and said, "Brother, when are we leaving?"
"You choose the time. Any time is fine."
"Okay, then we'll pack up and leave this afternoon. What do you think, uncle?"
"Can!"
…
In the afternoon, the Seven Stars True Lord left most of the disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect to guard the Big Dipper Formation, while he, the Seven Stars True Lord, Lin Xuyan, and Liu Wushuang boarded a medium-sized flying boat and set off from the dome of the formation, directly breaking out of the confinement of the black tide and heading to visit Liuhua Island.
There are layers of clouds over the vast sea, and the ocean is azure blue.
On the deck of the flying boat, Lin Xuyan sat at the bow, overlooking the beautiful scenery in the sea, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, my brother is such a polite person. Although he is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core and not as good as you and me, his combat power must be stronger than you and me. Don't you really want to consider it?"
“Senior Brother…”
Liu Wushuang's pretty face flushed again: "Why are you here again? Senior Brother Ning is also my senior brother now. If I want to marry him, I will naturally discuss it with him. How can it be your turn to force a match?"
“Hahaha~~”
On the side, Ning Daoran smiled with glee.
"Alas... look at you, look at you... Junior sister has grown up and has become independent, and she is no longer obedient. And what about you, brother..."
Lin Xuyan said helplessly: "Why did I try so hard to be a matchmaker? It was because on that cold and lonely night, when my senior brother sleeps, he can hug a beautiful junior sister in his arms. It's better than sleeping alone, right?"
Suddenly, Liu Wushuang's face became even redder.
“Ahem…”
Ning Daoran said: "I usually don't sleep, so why don't I practice and hone my skills during that time?"
Liu Wushuang immediately joked, "Brother Lin, look at what Brother Ning is like, and then look at yourself. Even though you are in the late Jindan stage now, maybe Brother Ning has condensed his Nascent Soul earlier than you."
“…”
Ning Daoran was speechless. This might be difficult. He knew his own foundation very well. After all, he only had ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots. How could he compare with Lin Xuyan, a top genius with first-grade heavenly spiritual roots who was almost as abnormal as a demon? It was destined that he would break through the level more smoothly than himself.
"You and I, as senior brothers and sisters, only talk about love and romance, and never talk about cultivation." Lin Xuyan said angrily.
…
At this time, the clouds parted and an island came into view.
We have finally arrived at Liuhua Island.
