Chapter 431 Tu Yang Zhen Jun
Two months later.
In Qinzhou of Sangyu Kingdom, around the Demon Dragon Mountains.
“Shua~~~”
A green figure jumped out of the soil and landed on the tree gracefully, looking like an immortal. He raised his hand and pointed at the ground. Suddenly, fiery red fluorescent lights flew out from the soil, connected into a line, and flew into the spirit beast bag on his waist.
This person is of course Ning Daoran who transformed into Qiu Shui Zhenren.
After arriving at the Demon Dragon Mountains, he has been searching here for two months. Not only has he mobilized a large number of paper men, he has even sent out fire-eating ants to search for the essence of the Demon Dragon.
The result was disappointing. After two whole months, he only found a piece of Dragon Demon Essence the size of a quail egg! It was no secret that Dragon Demon Essence was produced in the Dragon Mountain Range. During these two months, Ning Daoran encountered a large number of independent cultivators in the Dragon Mountain Range, ranging from Jindan Great Cultivators to Qi Refining Stage cultivators. All kinds of independent cultivators were digging for food in the soil in this area, their eyes wide open, like mice in a wheat field that had just been harvested, hoping to find their own opportunity.
It seems that there is no rush to find the Dragon Demon Essence.
Dragon Demon Essence is a condensed substance of the essence of heaven and earth. It is the product of the fusion of the aura of a real dragon and the essence of heaven and earth. Legend has it that the Demon Dragon Mountain Range was transformed from the corpse of a real dragon. Although it sounds like some kind of myth, it is true that some Dragon Demon Essence can be condensed every once in a while.
There is no rush for this matter. We need to release the paper man and search slowly.
Therefore, Ning Daoran decided to find a permanent place to live in the Demon Dragon Mountains. Regardless of whether he could find the Dragon Demon Essence or not, his own practice could not be delayed.
Besides, Dabenlu, Xiaobai, Xiaoheizi and others also need a quiet environment for practice.
Coincidentally, on the edge of the Demon Dragon Mountains, there stands a sect that is famous throughout Qinzhou.
Qianyuan Sect, headed by two Nascent Soul stage masters, is one of the top immortal sects in Sangyu Country!
Qianyuan Sect possesses a fourth-order spiritual vein that has been passed down from generation to generation and has a profound heritage. There are nine peaks in the sect, guarded by the sect master and eight peak masters respectively. Tens of thousands of cultivators in Qianyuan Sect practice on the nine peaks, so it is not isolated from the outside world.
"Well, let's go to Qianyuan Sect."
Ning Daoran frowned and confirmed his next itinerary. He would rent a cave in Qianyuan Sect and then slowly search the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. He would not leave until he had accumulated enough Dragon Demon Essence. After all, his Dragon Demon Heart Sutra was destined to be cultivated to above the 30th level.
"Huh?"
But just as he was about to leave, Ning Daoran sensed the rhythm of the breath of a demon beast. He turned quickly and saw a figure falling into the forest. It was an old man in a Taoist robe with mottled patterns.
"This fellow Taoist."
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have lived here for a long time, but I have never seen you, fellow Taoist. I wonder where you came from?"
Ning Daoran also narrowed his eyes, a flash of white light flashed across his pupils, and he saw the man clearly. It turned out to be a giant lizard, a demon beast in the late third stage. Its strength was slightly stronger than that of a human in the late golden elixir stage.
At this time, Ning Daoran transformed into Qiu Shui Zhenren, and his external cultivation remained at the middle stage of the Golden Core, which caused the other party to look at him with extreme contempt.
"I am Yi Dao Ren."
The old man bowed and said with a smile, "I don't know, friend?"
"You are all old foxes. Why are you pretending to be so arrogant?"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and took out the Autumn Water Sword, and said with a smile: "Come on, fellow Lizard, take my sword first!"
"You actually saw through my whereabouts?"
Yi Daoren was shocked, and he twisted his body to reveal his true form, with demonic energy emanating from his body. He rolled up his long tongue and attacked without saying a word. In an instant, the demonic energy and spiritual pressure surged, and the surrounding woods were turned into dust. The energy rushed out of control and the whole place was in chaos.
"snort!"
Ning Daoran was too lazy to waste any more words with him. After failing to chop off Yi Daoren's head with his sword, he quickly flew back. With a startled spirit, he instantly used a soul-calming spell on him!
Silently, Yi Daoren's movements came to an abrupt halt, and his long tongue remained in mid-air.
Ning Daoran floated over, raised two fingers and pressed them on the monitor lizard's forehead. With a "puff", a golden sword condensed and pierced through the opponent's head. At the same time, his body retreated, and the sword light of the Autumn Water Sword flashed, and the monitor lizard's long tongue was split into two.
“Wooo ...
The giant lizard, having woken up from a severe blow to its soul, roared, and its body disappeared from sight in a flash.
Burrow underground!? Ning Daoran was startled. It had been a long time since he had encountered a monster that was as good at burrowing underground as the big stupid deer.
Chase! That set of third-stage late-stage monster materials cannot be wasted!
So, after injecting a magic mark, he followed the panicked giant lizard and chased it all the way. Soon after, he arrived at an underground monster cave.
"Um?"
Ning Daoran's heart sank. No, there was not only the aura of a monster, but also the aura of a human.
"Fellow Daoist, don't run away, prepare to die!"
He directly took out the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow and shot an arrow! The arrow passed through the soil layer and shot directly into the giant lizard's body, instantly exploding into several pieces! At this time, Ning Daoran was in the late Jindan period, and his mana reserves were at least three times higher than those in the middle Jindan period. In the middle Jindan period, launching the Zhuxian Divine Crossbow once consumed 10% of his mana, and he could activate it at most ten times. This time was different. He could shoot thirty arrows in a row, which was no problem.
“Shua~~~”
He summoned a wisp of magic power, wrapped the corpse of the giant lizard and put it into the storage bag.
Ning Daoran stepped into the cave, chanted a few spells, and released hundreds of fire-eating ants. In a blink of an eye, he broke all the restrictions outside the cave. Although this giant lizard is a late-stage third-order monster, monsters are still monsters, and the restrictions they set are not too powerful.
A strong fishy smell came from the cave.
It's too unrefined! Ning Daoran frowned, thinking of the cave of the shadow wolf king. His cave was clean and tidy, and everything was similar to that of human cultivators. It was nothing like this giant lizard, which looked like a primitive cave.
“Help…Help…”
At this moment, a faint shouting sound was heard from deep in the cave.
Sure enough, there was someone in the cave.
Ning Daoran flew over and saw an iron cage embedded in the rock wall deep in the cave. Inside the iron cage was a female cultivator lying there. She was dying, her body was seriously injured, and her magic power was almost exhausted.
Ning Daoran was startled. This woman... was actually quite beautiful. Her graceful body was wrapped in a white dress and tears were in the corners of her eyes, making people feel pity for her.
Moreover, this woman was in the middle stage of the Golden Core! But her injuries were too severe, as if she had been poisoned by a monster. Her face was ashen and her breath was extremely weak.
“Fellow Daoist…”
The moment she saw Ning Daoran, it was like she saw a life-saving straw: "Daoyou, please save me. No matter what the conditions are, Ning Xin will definitely agree to it. I only ask Daoyou to save me and leave this place..."
"Who are you?"
Ning Daoran stood in front of the cage and did not intend to rescue people directly. He wanted to make sure at least. At the same time, he sent out several paper men to search the cave. Yi Daoren’s treasure must be taken away together.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The woman was in the cage, her eyes tearing up, she cried, "I am a casual cultivator who strayed into the Demon Dragon Mountains. My name is Ning Xin, and I was captured by the demon beast Yi Dao Ren. He used coercion and bribery to force me to become his Taoist partner. I refused, so his magic power was taken away, and I have been imprisoned here for more than half a year."
"oh?"
Ning Daoran nodded: "I have a way to see into people's hearts. If the girl lies to me, she will not end well."
"ah?"
The woman was shocked.
Ning Daoran raised his hand and opened the door of the cage. He flashed behind the woman and knocked her out with a single blow!
Soul search!
After searching his soul, Ning Daoran frowned.
He used a ray of magic power to wake the girl up and said, "So, why did you lie to me?"
"I……"
The woman burst into tears immediately: "I am Zhang Ningxin, a disciple of Master Tuyang of Qianyuan Sect. I have been imprisoned by a monster for half a year. If this humiliating experience gets out, how can I face people in the future... Daoist friend, Ningxin is definitely not lying on purpose. As a woman... face is really important. Daoist friend has already seen through Ningxin's state of mind, I..."
“That’s enough!”
Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows slightly, took out a pill to restore mana and handed it to her, saying: "Since Fairy Ning Xin is a senior disciple of Qianyuan Sect, I should naturally help her. The giant lizard monster is not in the cave now. Let's leave quickly to avoid being hunted down!"
"good!"
Zhang Ningxin swallowed the pill in one gulp, but he was still very weak. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, can you help me?"
"well……"
Ning Daoran turned around and grabbed one of Zhang Ningxin's arms, then performed an earth escape technique and quickly escaped from the cave. There were indeed a lot of gains in the cave. A first-class paper man found several pieces of dragon demon essence in the cave, so it was not a wasted trip.
As for Zhang Ningxin, Ning Daoran searched her soul and spied on her state of mind. As the daughter of a wealthy family, she had a very simple mind. She lied to him because she was afraid that it would be embarrassing if the news got out. She was originally a true disciple of Qianyuan Sect. If people knew that she was imprisoned by a monster for more than half a year, even if her Yuanyin was not lost, she would probably become the laughing stock of Qianyuan Sect.
Ning Daoran saved Zhang Ningxin, which was considered an introduction, allowing him to successfully enter Qianyuan Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
Zhang Ningxin pursed her red lips, looking sick. She had already learned that Ning Daoran's Buddhist name was Qiushui Zhenren and his surname was Ning, so she said, "I want to stay in the inn outside for a few days to recuperate before returning to the sect. Daoist friend, what do you think..."
She was worried that she looked too haggard and that it would affect her appearance.
Women, what troubles you are...
Ning Daoran said speechlessly: "Okay, let's stay in the inn for a few days."
So, with Zhang Ningxin, the two stayed in an inn in a nearby town for a few days. They chatted a lot with each other. Zhang Ningxin gradually changed his opinion of Ning Daoran. He felt that although this Qiushui Zhenren was a casual cultivator, he was well-spoken and had a good temperament. He was really good! ...
A few days later, he returned to Qianyuan Sect.
A great cultivator wearing a crimson robe and exuding the aura of an early Nascent Soul stage rushed towards the mountain gate in surprise. It was none other than Master Tu Yang, the deputy leader of the Qianyuan Sect.
"Ning Xin!"
Master Tu Yang was pleasantly surprised; he had never expected that his beloved disciple could come back alive.
“Master!”
Zhang Ning's eyes were filled with tears.
"who is he?"
The next second, Master Tu Yang's gaze turned to Ning Daoran.
