Chapter 435 Fire Dragon Master
A few months later.
Liu Ruyan visited Ning Daoran's residence again and brought the first batch of third-level medium-quality talismans, totaling more than 30 pieces. In terms of the efficiency of refining talismans, she was indeed far from comparable to Lin Man.
This is understandable. Lin Man is not only a cultivator, but also the top genius in the art of talismans in the Eastern Wilderness. Liu Ruyan's art of talismans is at most above second-rate.
Besides, Lin Man is now a genuine Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and Liu Ruyan is not even comparable to him.
As a return gift, Ning Daoran has prepared a complete set of flags and plates for the White Feather Flowing Sound Array.
"Senior sister."
Ning Daoran integrated the entire formation into a formation box and said, "This is a third-level intermediate-grade formation, the White Feather Flowing Sound Formation, which combines the effects of defense, illusion, isolation, spirit gathering, and maze. Do you need me to personally help you set it up at Qingxia Peak?"
“That’s best!”
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother Ning!"
"You're welcome, Senior Sister."
Ning Daoran nodded, but then asked, "Senior sister, what did Master Tu Yang say to you..."
He hesitated to speak.
"Um."
Liu Ruyan did not hide it and nodded, "After I moved to the Purple and Green Three Peaks, True Lord Tu Yang... He wanted me to be his Taoist partner, but Junior Brother Ning, you know..."
She sighed and said, "Since your Senior Brother Lin Sheng, no other man has been able to enter my heart. Besides, I just want to practice cultivation and have no intention of looking for a Taoist partner. Although Master Tu Yang is very sincere, I will not agree. I have made up my mind and will not make a Taoist partner anymore."
"I see."
Ning Daoran nodded and said nothing more.
As for what Liu Ruyan said about losing the desire to make friends, Ning Daoran was just going to listen to it and would never take it seriously.
After all, when they were in Chaos Sect, Liu Ruyan and Lin Sheng had not really reached that stage, and now when they met again, Ning Daoran knew at the first glance that Liu Ruyan had already lost her Yuan Yin body.
After Lin Sheng, she must have had another Taoist partner, but she just didn't want to mention it to Ning Daoran.
Ning Daoran was too lazy to say anything more about this matter. After all, at the moment they were not truly in a master-disciple relationship. This relationship had disappeared hundreds of years ago when Liu Ruyan withdrew from the Chaos Sect.
Afterwards, after helping Liu Ruyan set up the formation, Ning Daoran returned to the cave and continued his retreat. On the one hand, he studied and reversed the Falling Star Formation, and on the other hand, he relied on the Dragon Demon Essence to continue practicing the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra. His days were quite fulfilling.
…
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 315 years old. He ended his retreat in the afternoon one day. The moment he walked out of the cave, his aura became richer and deeper, his eyes revealed tranquility and indifference, and he looked like an immortal.
"Sir."
Xiao Bai walked forward, holding a book in his hand, and said, "The profits from refining formations and elixirs last month came out, totaling 8,460 spirit stones, an increase of nearly 10% from the month before last. Business is getting better and better."
"good."
Ning Daoran nodded with satisfaction, and then he saw several pale-faced, first-grade paper figures that looked as if they were hollowed out.
So he gently raised his hand and quickly filled each paper man with magic power. For a moment, several paper men showed excitement, and it felt that they could function for another five hundred years!
"noob."
Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "I plan to go to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range in person. The locations of many dragon demon essences discovered by the fire-eating ants and the second-level paper figures have been determined, and the dragon demon essences I have stored are almost gone. I have to go there in person. You stay at Luoxia Peak and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, Xiaobai was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, her cultivation was suppressed to the middle stage of foundation building, and she was the nominal manager of Luoxia Peak. It was appropriate for her to stay and guard the cave.
In the afternoon, Ning Daoran quietly left the Purple and Green Three Peaks and headed for the Demon Dragon Mountains.
…
Several months later, deep in the Demon Dragon Mountains.
"Shua~~"
A handsome figure in a green shirt emerged from the ground. It was Ning Daoran, who had disguised himself as Jianjia Sanren. He was holding a fist-sized dragon demon essence in his hand, his heart filled with joy.
"Go away!"
He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a gray figure screamed and flew out in the wind, turning into an evil spirit covered with a misty sheen and disappeared into the forest in an instant.
The Dragon Demon Essence is a treasure formed by the breath of a true dragon and the essence of heaven and earth. It is not only useful to cultivators, but also attracts evil spirits in the world. Therefore, after each piece of Dragon Demon Essence is formed, there may be evil spirits attached to it, as if it is a guarding object.
However, this level of evil was nothing to Ning Daoran, and he didn't even have the interest to kill it.
“Crash~~”
Ning Daoran threw the Dragon Demon Essence into the storage ring. This was the tenth piece of Dragon Demon Essence he had obtained in the past few months. It was a pretty good harvest. If he could keep it up, he would have all the materials to practice the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra for the next few decades.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he felt a slight chill. From underground in the distance, a spirit insect's aura was approaching rapidly.
A few seconds later, a fiery red fluorescent light rushed out from the ground and instantly landed on a branch in front of Ning Daoran. It was a fire-eating ant covered in miniature fiery red armor.
Fire ants have evolved to the point where they can develop armor on their own, greatly enhancing their defense.
"How is it?"
"Squeak~squeak~squeak~squeak~~~"
The fire ant shook its head and tail, and its two antennae waved wildly, alerting Ning Daoran.
"I see……"
Ning Daoran was ecstatic. This fire-eating ant said it had found a piece of dragon demon essence the size of a washbasin. How could this be possible! "Lead the way!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"squeak!"
The fire-eating ant waved its antennae and instantly turned into a beam of fluorescence and rushed into the depths of the forest. Ning Daoran quickly burrowed underground and followed behind the fire-eating ant. It was better for him to be cautious. After all, he was only in the late Jindan stage at this time and was not really invincible in the human world.
Soon after, a gray valley appeared.
There was a gray mist all around, and the fire ants quickly sank into the mist. Ning Daoran, who was burrowing underground, frowned. There was an indescribable ominous atmosphere in this place, and it felt like a very dangerous place.
But it is not clear why this is the case.
“Squeak~~~”
The fire-eating ant flew forward and entered the depths of the valley. It shouted excitedly, indicating that it was almost there. Less than a mile away was the place where the Dragon Demon Essence was buried.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Ning Daoran's heartbeat started beating. Something was coming! In the valley, the fog that was everywhere suddenly became clear and evaporated. It was only then that Ning Daoran realized that this place was strange.
It was clearly early spring, when everything was reviving and the earth was lush and green, but this valley was all pale, with nothing but stones, without even a trace of green to be seen.
A huge figure flashed past in the air.
“Roar~~~”
It's the roar of a dragon!
The huge figure swept down, and a dragon claw with a chaotic aura fell from the sky. With a loud "bang", it slapped the poor fire-eating ant into the mud, and then the dragon energy gushed out, crushing it directly! Ning Daoran only felt his soul tremble. Before the fire-eating ant died, it responded to his soul, saying goodbye to the master. If there is a next life, I am still willing to be your little bug.
…
"Daoyou, why don't you come out and see me?"
In the air, the huge figure that killed the fire-eating ants trembled slightly, shrank rapidly, and finally turned into a young human in a fiery red gown, with a pair of fiery red vertical pupils that exuded the majesty of the dragon race. His eyes swept towards the ground, and he had already locked onto Ning Daoran's aura! At this moment, Ning Daoran confirmed the other party's identity.
The fourth-order early stage demon dragon, judging from its appearance, should be a fire dragon! In the Demon Dragon Mountains, there is only one demon dragon with legends and biographies, the legendary Fire Dragon True Lord! It is a Yuanying stage demon dragon that has been lingering in the Demon Dragon Mountains for many years. It is extremely powerful. It is said that its bloodline is extremely pure and it is one of the descendants of the true dragon. Although it is now a juvenile body and has only awakened the initial stage of the Yuanying, its real combat power is extremely terrifying. There were many Yuanying middle stage masters of the Sangyu Kingdom who joined forces in the depths of the Demon Dragon Mountains, but they were unable to do anything to it.
'not good……'
Ning Daoran frowned. His aura had been locked by the opponent's Nascent Soul stage dragon energy. It would be extremely difficult to escape at this time. The opponent would definitely chase him. If he led a Nascent Soul stage fire dragon back to the Purple and Green Three Peaks, then the three peaks would be finished.
For a moment, he cried out that his fate was miserable. He had been dormant in Qianyuan Sect for five years, and the first time he went into the mountains to look for the essence of dragon demons, he was actually targeted by the Fire Dragon Master. What kind of luck was this? Fortunately, he was just an early Nascent Soul demon dragon. Ning Daoran was confident that even if he couldn't beat him, he would still have no problem saving his life. If it was a mid-Nascent Soul demon dragon, such as the Viper Dragon in Fulong Tianyuan, it might be really dangerous! "Daoyou."
Ning Daoran floated out, and a wisp of magic power transformed into the appearance of Jianjia Sanren, holding a large blue dragon in his hand, frowned and said: "You and I have no grudges, but I don't know why you killed my spirit insect?"
"snort!"
Fire Dragon Master narrowed his eyes, dragon energy surging all over his body, and smiled slightly, "So you are just a junior in the Jindan stage. In that case, there is no need to say more. All the dragon and demon essences in this Demon Dragon Mountain Range belong to me. You are so ignorant that you dare to compete for my opportunity. If I don't kill you on the spot, where is the dignity of Fire Dragon Master? Won't those human Yuanyings poop and pee on my head?"
Ning Daoran frowned, and a fourth-level inferior speed talisman slipped out from his sleeve, saying, "Daoyou are really unwilling to give up? Even if I am willing to offer two spiritual treasures, ten magic weapons and a million spiritual stones, Daoyou still insists on killing me, is that right?"
"snort!"
Fire Dragon Master sneered, "Treasures are useful to you humans, but what use are they to my dragon race? Why do I need your treasures? Your wood-attributed flesh and blood essence is very appealing. Well, I will swallow you up and make you a part of me! Hey, wait... where are you going? Come back!"
“Shua——”
While Lord Fire Dragon was speaking, Ning Daoran had already floated away, his body turning into a residual shadow.
