Chapter 44: Evergreen Secret, Part 1! (Thanks to Xiao Nuan Yang_Silver Alliance Leader!)
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 38 years old.
…
In the early morning, the clouds in the mountains covered the entire Qiongbi Peak.
At this time, the time spent on intensive cultivation has accumulated to more than 70,000 years. Ning Daoran decided to solve a problem that had been weighing on his mind for many years.
Attack the eleventh level of the Evergreen Art, completely break through the bottleneck, and deduce the complete Evergreen Art!
Inside a secret room twenty feet deep.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and poured his time and energy into the Changqing Jue technique.
[In the 13,400th year, you sat in the mountains for tens of thousands of years. You were isolated from the world and looked dull and almost integrated with the mountains. Only your breaths revealed your thriving vitality.]
[In the 23rd and 24th thousand years, the vines covered your body, birds built nests on your head, and even a giant python once entangled you. In the end, it was confirmed that you were just a piece of dead wood, and you escaped.]
[In the 31,500th year, the tenth level of the Changqing Jue skill has been running through your body countless times. You have tried to touch the bottleneck again and again. Finally, the bottleneck seems to have loosened.]
[In the 40,600th year, spring returned to the earth. You sat like an ancient stone statue among countless rotten vines. But at the moment when the vines in front of you sprouted their first buds, your heart suddenly opened, and all the doubts accumulated in your heart were resolved.]
[Deduced: Changqing Jue Part 1. Earth Rank Top Grade]
[Eternal Youth Secret Part 1. Earth Rank Top Grade (Eleventh Level)]
[Qi Refining Stage (Ninth Level)]
[Time remaining for intensive cultivation: 34,422 years]
…
"call……"
Ning Daoran slowly opened his eyes, and saw the green Evergreen Spiritual Energy visible to the naked eye constantly emerging and flowing around him. At this moment, he was like a big tree full of vitality, a thriving scene!
“I’ll go…”
He frowned. This was a bit unexpected. The Changqing Jue that he had spent 40,000 years to deduce was not the complete one, but the first part. And this first part was already of the upper grade of the earth rank! If it was the complete Changqing Jue, it would undoubtedly be a peerless and unique skill of the heaven rank! Incredible!
He once guessed that the Chaos Sect's Changqing Jue was incomplete, perhaps only half of it.
But I didn't expect it to be so incomplete. The content recorded in it might not even fill the title page of the entire Changqing Jue! And with the breakthrough of Changqing Jue, the state that had remained motionless for seven or eight years finally moved. The ninth level of Qi Refining, I finally reached this step! Continue to accumulate the foundation of cultivation, and reach the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is the legendary Qi Refining Great Perfection.
Once it is completed, it means that you can consider the important matter of building the foundation.
Without building the foundation, you can never be considered to have truly entered the immortal world.
He was somewhat complacent. He thought that his decision to practice the Changqing Jue first was a wise and decisive one.
As the Changqing Jue reached the eleventh level, his life span in the Qi Refining Stage had reached 220 years, more than twice the life span of an average Qi Refining Stage cultivator! In fact, he could slowly build his foundation, and there was no need to rush.
With this lifespan, he could easily survive and build his foundation.
After taking a look at the time for intensive cultivation, there is still a lot of time left, which can be used to practice the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art. This life-saving skill must be fully utilized!
He sat cross-legged again, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all the time he had practiced into the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Technique.
[In the 2762nd year, you were as swift as a meteor, performing the Riding the Wind and Freely Art to travel the world. You swept through the city like a gust of wind, and a pretty woman on the second floor propped up a window with a stick that was blown off and hit a handsome man.]
[When you were walking through the wilderness, a monkey trapped under the mountain opened his mouth to bite a peach that had fallen from a tree, but your wind blew it away, and the monkey became furious.]
[When you crossed the Yangtze River, you saw two powerful armies fighting on the river. The east wind you brought caused a fire, which caused the northern army to suffer a series of defeats. Someone in the fire cried out in grief: If Fengxiao were here...]
[Five thousand four hundred years, you have been running for too long, like a tired bird. The moment you decide to stop and rest, magical power suddenly surges into your legs, and the bottleneck of your practice is unlocked.]
[Riding the Wind and Freely Acting. Mysterious Level Lower Grade (Transformation Realm)]
[In the seventh thousand six hundred and forty-fourth year, you have been running for too long, your legs have become swollen, and you are finally about to be unable to run anymore]
[An old man fishing by the river asked with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why not stop and look at the spring and autumn fruits of this world, and smell the fragrance of the wild flowers in the mountains?"
[In the 9940th year, the Riding the Wind and Freely Art has become your curse. You no longer see any hope of a breakthrough.]
[You sit on the stone bridge and decide to endure the wind and rain for 500 years]
[In the 1440th year, you sat on the stone bridge, enduring the wind and rain for 500 years. Suddenly you looked back and found that the woman holding the green oil-paper umbrella at the end of the stone bridge looked familiar. When you wanted to see her clearly again, she had gone with the wind and rain for 500 years, and you burst into tears]
[Since you know that I am heartbroken today, why didn’t you cherish me then? 】
[Riding the Wind and Freely. Xuan-level Lower Grade (Returning to the Original Nature)]
[Time remaining for intensive cultivation: 23,982 years]
…
It’s done, the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art at the level of returning to nature!
In an instant, Ning Daoran felt as light as a swallow.
He floated outside the courtyard, looked at the fertile fields in the east, and decided to try the speed of the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Technique.
The perfect level of Breath Concealment Technique is fully activated, suppressing the breath as much as possible so as not to attract the attention of others.
Riding the wind and free from worries, let’s go!
"Boom——"
With a sound of breaking wind, his body turned into an afterimage that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye and rushed down the mountain! "Damn it, that's not right!"
Ning Daoran's scalp suddenly went numb. He saw a person passing through his body and running wildly down the mountain!
Just like a donkey that has just been released from the pen, it is impossible to stop it! But... no, that seems to be me!
"ah!?"
Ning Daoran's scalp was about to explode as a huge force pushed him madly towards the figure.
The person running wildly in front is myself, so who am I now?
He glanced down.
Shit, it’s transparent! What I’m sensing at this moment is actually my own soul.
And what rushed out was his own physical body!
What the fucking speed is this!
Is this the legendary...
The person is flying in front, and the soul is chasing behind? "Boom!"
Pushed by a huge force, the soul caught up with the body. The moment the two merged into one, Ning Daoran breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel comfortable. Just now, I almost thought that I had entered the Nascent Soul stage ahead of time and that the Nascent Soul could leave my body.
"The speed is too fast, beyond the endurance of the soul, overloaded..."
He sat on the small path at the foot of the mountain and reviewed the situation silently.
Afterwards, he kept his mind focused and used the Return to Nature level of the Wind-Riding Free and Easy Art to charge back and forth a few times over short distances. This time there was no problem. Although his soul was shaking, it did not leave his body.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It’s done, the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Technique can be used!
Just based on this speed, it has far surpassed the speed of Qi Refining cultivators flying with flying tools, and is even higher than the speed of Foundation Establishment cultivators escaping with all their strength! From now on, the ability to survive in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators will be greatly increased! As for the Golden Core Stage...
Besides, we haven’t seen the full speed of the Jindan’s escape light yet, so it’s hard to say.
Moreover, the Jindan masters are so terrifying that you should try not to provoke them if possible.
He took a deep breath.
He practiced the Breath-Containing Technique and his cultivation level remained at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
After achieving great perfection in Qi training in the future, you can directly apply for cave dwelling foundation building and catch the sect off guard. This way the safety factor is the highest.
Once I succeed in building my foundation, it may be impossible for people in the sect to touch me.
His heart is as clear as a mirror. In the world of immortal cultivation, those who are considered waste live the longest.
Although Ning Daoran has gained some fame in the outer sect, he is not well-received in the inner sect.
Whenever an inner disciple passed by Qiongbi Peak, their attitude was generally not very positive.
"That second-level spiritual farmer has been refining Qi for a long time, but he is still at the seventh level, not moving at all. It is said that he is nearly forty years old and will soon pass the golden period of foundation building. It is most likely that he will have no hope of building a foundation in this lifetime."
"Although this person has made great achievements in spiritual planting, if we talk about cultivation, my Senior Brother Long has already established his foundation at the age of 25. How can this person compare?"
"A nearly 40-year-old Qi Refining Level 7, no hope. We in the inner sect don't want such trash."
Whenever Ning Daoran heard these words, he was not angry at all. The more such words he heard, the better. He would be able to live a more stable life.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran decided to prepare to refine a first-grade superior Five Elements Wandering Array.
Over the past few years, while he was concentrating on studying formations, he also refined several sets of small cloud and mist formations and green bamboo formations. He has mastered the first-grade mid-quality formations.
Now is the time to challenge the first-grade superior formation.
Moreover, this Five Elements Flowing Formation is the pinnacle of the inheritance left by Grandma Yuncui. It gathers the power of the five elements and strangles the opponent in the formation, even the foundation building can be killed! However, the Five Elements Flowing Formation requires the refining of five formation flags and five formation plates, and the materials required for each formation flag and formation plate have corresponding attributes.
A formation with great killing power naturally requires very demanding materials.
The Five Elements Wandering Formation requires five second-level materials belonging to the five elements, namely: Millennium Mysterious Spirit Wood, Gold Essence, Earth-soluble Soil, Guishui Stone and a second-level fire-attribute demon core.
The first few materials are easy to get, but the second-level fire-attribute demon core requires killing a fire-attribute demon beast in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it is not certain to be available even if you kill it.
Some monsters in the Foundation Establishment Stage do not have sufficient cultivation and may not yet have formed a monster core.
Ning Daoran couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of so many materials.
There’s no other way, just get it together slowly.
Afternoon, Huanglongfang Market.
People come and go in Qingxiefang.
Chen Ping'er was wearing a palace dress, which made her look even more graceful and elegant, and she already had a bit of a fairy-like feeling.
But Ning Daoran could see clearly that Chen Ping'er was just a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining and had nothing to do with fairies.
Don't be fooled by her incredible beauty and the awe-inspiring and inviolable look.
But she would also flirt with those crude and wild monks in order to sell an item, and would pout and pretend to be aggrieved to the bald and muscular monks. In fact, she was no different from an ordinary woman.
"Friend Ning, long time no see!"
The moment she saw Ning Daoran, Chen Ping'er's lips curled up slightly, and she actually trotted over. As she jogged, her plump breasts swayed, stunning everyone around them.
"I'm... "
Ning Daoran's scalp was numb, and he couldn't stand it. Why did he feel like he had fallen in love with someone he loved for a thousand years? Just at this moment, he suddenly felt that Chen Ping'er treated him differently from others.
This kind of illusion is unacceptable. Use the Changqing Jue to suppress it forcefully! "Daoyou Chen, long time no see."
He took out a list and said with a smile, "I want to try to refine a formation. Here are the materials I need. Master Chen, please take a look at them for me and see how much Qingxiefang can gather."
"No problem!"
Chen Ping'er smiled with dimples, and her beautiful eyes were quite alluring.
