Chapter 42: The Little Green Bamboo Formation Performs Merits (Thanks to Xiao Nuanyang_Silver Alliance Leader!)
Two years passed quickly.
The top of Qiongbi Peak is covered with emerald green, and the scenery is so beautiful that it looks like a fairyland.
"The pill is ready!"
In the alchemy room, Ning Daoran pointed his hands to the sky, with disheveled hair, as if he had gone possessed.
“Swish!”
A colorful spiritual mist rose from the alchemy furnace, and the moment the furnace was opened, three pills jumped out.
Ning Daoran took a closer look and felt overjoyed.
One of them has a crack and is a waste pill, while the other one has a light blue pattern and is a genuine pill.
What surprised him the most was a pill with three golden patterns on it, which turned out to be a top-quality Qi-boosting pill!
The Qi-invigorating Pill uses three hundred year old white rainbow flower as the main ingredient. It has the miraculous effect of improving the magic power of the middle stage of Qi refining. It is quite rare. In Qingxiefang, the price of a genuine Qi-invigorating Pill is often more than thirty spirit stones.
The price of high-quality Qi-boosting pills is basically double that.
"good."
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, with a smile on his face. At this moment, he was getting closer and closer to becoming a first-class top-grade alchemist. Although he had to refine one furnace after another of waste pills, the saying "practice makes perfect" was true...
It would be admirable for anyone to see how a first-class top-grade alchemist was created by using a large amount of spiritual medicinal materials.
He took a look and found that he had accumulated more than 40,000 years of intensive practice time, but he was not in a hurry. He would save some more time and then sort out the priority of his practice.
After the battle with Master Zi Guang, Ning Daoran understood clearly that the physical movement skills of cultivators like Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art were too important and must be given top priority. He should try his best to practice Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art to return to its original state and maximize his physical movement speed!
In this way, whether escaping or attacking by surprise, it will be as if there is divine help! The alchemy is finished and he is out of retreat.
"Chen Weimo!"
From within the small cloud and mist formation, Ning Daoran shouted, "Eat!"
In the backyard, the big black carp in the fish pond was trembling with fear.
After dinner.
Ning Daoran took out a jade bottle and said, "This is a bottle of Qi-boosting pills, which I refined myself. You start taking Qi-boosting pills to practice from today. I don't believe that you can't break through the bottleneck and will be locked in the middle stage of Qi refining for the rest of your life."
“Uncle…”
The little girl said weakly: "Am I too stupid or too unqualified to disappoint you?"
"How could that be? I've seen people with worse qualifications than you."
As he spoke, he looked at the big stupid deer, and immediately both the man and the deer curled up their lips and let out a "hehehe" laugh.
Chen Weimo got goosebumps all over her body: "Okay uncle, I will practice well and go back now."
"good."
As soon as Chen Weimo left, Ning Daoran came to the backyard.
"Little Blackie!"
“Squeak~~”
The big black fish quickly floated its head out of the water. At this time, the big black fish had grown to nearly two meters long, and its body had also developed horizontally from its original slender shape to the size of a "fathead fish".
"Open your mouth."
Ning Daoran raised his head and took out a few medium-grade spirit beast pills to promote Xiao Heizi's cultivation.
Suddenly, the water rippled, and the big black fish flipped out of the water and swallowed all the pills. For a moment, wisps of monster blood appeared on its body surface.
Ning Daoran took a step forward, jumped into the air, and stepped towards the fish head.
The big black fish dared not hide. It floated its huge head above the water and allowed its owner to step on it. Then it swayed its tail and cruised around the six-acre fish pond with Ning Daoran.
"This is all my kingdom..."
Ning Daoran sighed. There were so many spiritual fish in front of him, and they were so plump and delicious that he could hardly eat them all.
"From today on, you can eat 20 kilograms of spiritual fish every day."
“Squeak~~”
Little Heizi was overjoyed, shaking his head and tail, and his black scales all over his body were shining.
"It's time to enter the late stage of the first stage, right?"
Ning Daoran lowered his head and glanced at the fish head. "I heard that a spiritual food material store has opened in Qingxiefang, and they have imported a kind of pickled cabbage that contains spiritual energy... I should buy some back for emergencies."
"squeak!!!"
The scales of the big black fish were about to stand up, and it felt like it was about to die. It squeaked and said that it would not be lazy in the future, and would practice day and night, and make great progress, and catch up with Brother Lu's cultivation! Ning Daoran sneered, and didn't bother to care about the big salted fish, and jumped back to the courtyard.
…
late at night.
In the underground secret room, Ning Daoran sat on the ground and practiced the Changqing Jue, while Dabenlu was pushing a stake not far away, practicing the Shape-Changing Jue.
Enjoying life was one thing, but when it came to cultivation, the man and the deer never slacked off.
I don’t know how much time had passed.
Suddenly Ning Daoran opened his eyes, and a spider with double pupils sensed the aura of foundation building entering Qiongbi Peak. Then a figure floated towards the No. 79 Lingtian Courtyard like a fallen leaf.
It’s Chen Weimo’s residence!
"Old deer, go!"
Ning Daoran immediately stood up, quickly injected a magical formula into his body, then activated the earth escape technique to leave the courtyard and head straight for Chen Weimo's residence.
"boom--"
In the darkness of the night, a green light shot up into the sky!
The small green bamboo formation was triggered. From afar it looked like there were thousand-year-old green bamboos stretching across the sky and earth. The bamboo shadows swayed and wisps of bamboo leaves were like flying swords, constantly attacking the invaders.
"Asshole, there is actually a formation..."
The trapped foundation-building cultivator was shocked, and he kept controlling his magic tools and using his magic to dissolve the attack from the Green Bamboo Formation.
"Old Deer, just follow me and enter the formation!"
Ning Daoran sank his body and went underground again. This formation was newly refined by him and he already knew it like the back of his hand. He went straight through the life gate, through the killing formation, and entered the hut.
"Uncle!"
Immediately, he saw Chen Weimo with a pale face. She was practicing the Changqing Jue when suddenly someone broke into the courtyard and triggered the small green bamboo formation.
"Don't panic."
Ning Daoran picked up Chen Weimo by the waist, turned around and rushed into a tunnel dug by the big stupid deer, and then appeared dozens of meters away from the green bamboo formation.
He had no intention of taking action. With such a loud commotion in the middle of the night, it was impossible for the foundation-building elders in the outer sect to fail to sense it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the small green bamboo formation, the foundation was trapped in the maze and was extremely angry. He began to use powerful magic to push the formation! But even pushing the formation would take a certain amount of time. In a blink of an eye, his breath became more and more disordered.
In the wind, two other foundation-building auras flew over.
As expected, they were two foundation-building masters wearing outer sect elders’ uniforms. One of them often received spiritual rice and spiritual fish from Ning Daoran, so he looked concerned: “Nephew Ning, are you okay?”
"It's okay, Uncle Master."
Ning Daoran pointed his finger and said, "A foundation-building cultivator suddenly broke into Chen Weimo's residence. Fortunately, I had already set up a small green bamboo formation."
"I see."
The foundation-building elder was furious: "Brother, how dare this man break into the outer mountains of our Chaos Sect? He really doesn't take us brothers seriously! Don't worry about his status as a foundation-building person, just use your spiritual weapon to smash him!"
"Brother, what you said makes sense!"
The two foundation-building masters took advantage of the other party's breaking of the formation and smashed down three or five spiritual weapons with strong mana fluctuations in a row. One of them was even a mid-grade spiritual weapon with extraordinary power! "Two fellow Taoists..."
The man in the green bamboo formation vomited blood and said, "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding. My surname is Zhao, and I am the patriarch of the Zhao family in Baisha River. I came to your sect this time just to get rid of the descendants of my old enemy. I hope you can show some leniency!"
Ning Daoran's heart suddenly sank. It turned out to be the Zhao family from Baishajiang who built the foundation!
He immediately sent a message to his outer sect's foundation-building elder: "Uncle Master! This person is the mortal enemy of Chen Weimo's family. The Zhao family is known for having two foundation-building masters, but one of them was killed by Grandma Yuncui using a formation a few years ago.
The remaining foundation-building warrior is here today. Uncle Master, please don’t show mercy and help me kill him!
After killing him, I will give Uncle Shi a gift of two hundred catties of green bamboo spirit rice and fifty catties of spirit fish!"
"Is this really true?!"
The foundation building elder was shocked: "Don't worry, nephew, Yun Cui and Chen Weimo are spiritual farmers hired by my Chaos Sect's outer mountain. This person came to the outer mountain to kill people, which clearly shows that he does not take the Chaos Sect seriously!
As an elder of the outer sect, how could I let such a villain go! As for the respect from my nephew, forget it. I am doing this for the sect and I am just fulfilling my duty!"
"Uncle Master, you misunderstood. These are two different things. My filial piety is from my heart, and not even a little bit can be missing."
"It's rare that my nephew is so sensible. Just put your mind at ease. As your uncle, I will definitely not leave any trouble for you today!"
For a moment, the two outer sect foundation-building elders communicated with each other, and the murderous aura of the spiritual weapons became even stronger. Within just a few dozen breaths, they actually used the spiritual weapons to smash the foundation-building elder surnamed Zhao to death!
While the people from the outer sect had not arrived yet, Ning Daoran quietly separated a wisp of his spirit to search the soul of the man surnamed Zhao who was building his foundation. It turned out that he had come here specifically to kill Chen Weimo.
He believed that as long as Chen Weimo, the only remaining direct descendant of the Chen family, was killed, the rest of the Chen family would be out of legitimacy and would inevitably fall into long-term internal strife.
In this way, the Zhao family will be able to firmly own the two first-class superior spiritual veins in the Baisha River area! Unfortunately, he did not expect that he would be trapped and killed by a small green bamboo formation on the Qiongbi Peak.
“Uncle…”
Looking at the broken body of the Zhao foundation-building cultivator from afar, Chen Weimo still felt a lingering fear.
"It's all right."
Ning Daoran calmly comforted her.
He did not take any direct action in this matter, so he did not reveal any of his background.
The only thing that was exposed was probably this small green bamboo formation, but that was easy to explain.
It's no secret that my mother-in-law entrusted Chen Weimo to me before she passed away.
And the news that Grandma Yuncui exchanged her life with that of a foundation-building cultivator by using a Five Elements Wandering Formation also spread throughout the outer sect.
Therefore, before leaving, Grandma Yuncui made a deal with Ning Daoran. The condition for entrusting Chen Weimo to her was to give Ning Daoran a formation inheritance.
Afterwards, Ning Daoran refined the first-level intermediate-grade formations, the Small Cloud Mist Formation and the Green Bamboo Formation, which were all very logical.
Of course, Ning Daoran’s popularity today was indeed a bit too much.
The titles of second-level spiritual farmer and first-level mid-grade formation master were a bit eye-catching, but his cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining could suppress them.
It’s better than killing the foundation-building one directly, right?
If the Chaos Sect knew that Ning Daoran had the ability to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would probably pull him to the outer sect to be an elder, or even to the inner sect to be a true disciple.
…
Ning Daoran did not touch the storage bag, spiritual weapons and other things that Zhao used to build his foundation.
Since it was an outer sect who was building the foundation and killing the enemy, these things naturally had nothing to do with him. He still understood the ways of the world.
But I can't let my many years of business on Qiongbi Peak be ruined because of a little greed.
Besides, Ning Daoran doesn’t lack that much for a storage bag of the Zhao family’s patriarch. At most, it has only about four or five thousand spirit stones.
If the other party really had great potential, he probably wouldn't have come after a novice cultivator like Chen Weimo.
