Chapter 446: Fire Ruyi

Luoxia Peak.

Beside the stone table in the bamboo forest, Ning Daoran and Liu Ruyan sat opposite each other, sipping spiritual tea.

"Master Jiulei?"

Liu Ruyan was slightly startled.

"Senior sister also knows this person?"

"Exactly."

Liu Ruyan said, "Junior brother, you have just arrived and are not very familiar with everything in Sangyu Country. This Nine Thunder Master is known as the King of Thieves, and it is said that there is nothing he cannot steal. When he was young, he had great luck and learned a technique of escape from a great cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage who was about to die. It is called the Nine Heavens Escape Thunder Art, and it is a mid-level heavenly-grade unique skill."

She smiled calmly, "Master Jiu Lei relied on this escape technique to come and go freely. Later, he seized many opportunities and even changed his Taoist name to 'Jiu Lei'. If this person is really targeting Qianyuan Sect, this is indeed a problem. Qianyuan Sect cannot open the formation all year round, and this is not very realistic."

'Nine Heavens Thunder Escape Technique...'

Ning Daoran frowned. This mid-level heavenly escape technique almost made him drool on the spot.

"In addition to stealing treasures, will this person steal people? If so, Senior Sister should be more careful."

"ah?"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry about that. This man is greedy and vicious, but he doesn't care about women. There probably isn't any opportunity on my Qingxia Peak that he would be interested in, so don't worry."

"That's best."

Ning Daoran nodded happily.

But at this moment, a loud cry of grief suddenly came from Zixia Peak: "My little turtle... why did you leave me without even saying hello, my little turtle~~~"

Someone was crying, it seemed to be Bishui Zhenren.

When a Jindan-stage cultivator cries, the noise he makes is quite loud.

"What's going on?"

Ning Daoran stood up suddenly: "Go and take a look?"

"Um!"

The two of them turned into two beams of light and headed straight for Zixia Peak.

On Zixia Peak, beside a pocket-sized lake at the foot of the mountain, True Man Bishui sat there, stamping his feet and beating his chest, crying loudly, "My two Taoist friends, the purple spirit turtle that I raised is gone, gone... Everything is over... It's over..."

"Fellow Daoist Bishui."

Liu Ruyan said: "Don't worry, maybe the purple turtle ran out to play by itself?"

“Not likely.”

Ning Daoran scanned with his spiritual sense and found that the formation beside the pocket-sized lake was intact as a whole, but a lot of the formation plate buried underground had been eaten away, and a corner of the formation was broken in an invisible place.

Moreover, this formation was corroded from the outside, and it was definitely not done by the Purple Spirit Turtle.

"It was done by an outsider."

Ning Daoran took a deep breath, raised his hand and summoned a wisp of magic power. Immediately, the part of the formation plate that had been eaten away floated out of the soil, and the entire restriction became completely ineffective.

"It's over. It's really over..."

Bishui Zhenren looked tired: "My turtle may have been stewed into soup..."

Ning Daoran frowned.

At the side, Liu Ruyan opened her red lips and transmitted her voice, "Junior Brother Ning, you don't know, this True Man Bishui secretly raised a purple spirit turtle, feeding it with all kinds of spiritual medicines and rare spiritual fruits, and cherished it very much. He bet his own great way on this purple spirit turtle. Now that the purple spirit turtle has been stolen, True Man Bishui's great way is almost cut off. Otherwise, he would never do this."

"We still need to inform Qianyuan Sect about this matter."

Ning Daoran said: "After all, the three peaks of Ziqing belong to the outer mountains of Qianyuan Sect. The treasure on Zixia Peak was stolen. Qianyuan Sect may be able to follow the clues and catch the thief."

He transmitted his voice: "Perhaps, it was the work of the Nine Thunders Immortal."

"If that's the case..."

Liu Ruyan was a little pale and said, "If True Man Jiulei sets his sights on the Purple and Green Three Peaks, then we might be in real trouble. This man is not only good at escaping, but also very good at concealing his presence and hiding his form. If he sets his sights on the Purple and Green Three Peaks, Qingxia Peak and Luoxia Peak may not be able to be saved."

“Hmph~~~”

Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "Qianyuan Sect will definitely not care about the theft on the Purple and Green Three Peaks. They can't even protect themselves, so we can only rely on ourselves. Senior Sister, don't worry too much. I have my own plan."

"Um!"

Liu Ruyan nodded heavily.

…

late at night.

A figure flew between the three purple and green peaks, appearing and disappearing from time to time, which was extremely exquisite.

This person was Ning Daoran. In his hands, a series of formation tools flew out. He had buried many restrictions on the three peaks of Ziqing and Qing, waiting for True Man Jiulei to come to him.

Unfortunately, after True Man Jiulei succeeded, he seemed to disappear and has not appeared since.

Ning Daoran had no choice but to continue his retreat.

Regardless of whether or not he could capture Master Jiulei, his own cultivation progress must not be affected.

In this way, another four years passed in the blink of an eye.

Time passed so quickly. Ning Daoran was already 330 years old this year, having lived longer than most people in ancient dynasties.

In early spring, a major event happened again on the Three Peaks of Ziqing.

Liu Ruyan's spiritual medicine garden was robbed, and all the spiritual medicines in the garden were taken away. The thief did not even leave her any spiritual medicine for the Qi Refining stage.

Liu Ruyan's face was pale and she was in a daze. All her savings of many years were gone in a single day.

Ning Daoran checked the formation of Qingxia Peak. The bottom of the formation was eaten by spiritual insects. The thieves sneaked in through the loopholes in the formation without anyone noticing. They succeeded and emptied the spiritual medicine garden without Qingxia Peak knowing.

It was exactly the same as the theft of Master Bishui’s purple turtle.

Afternoon.

True Lord Tu Yang personally led the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and a group of disciples to inspect the scene, but ultimately came to no conclusion. He only told Liu Ruyan that it was most likely the work of True Lord Jiu Lei, the King of Thieves.

For a time, the people on the three peaks of Ziqing were in panic, and everyone knew that they were being targeted.

It seems that Master Bishui has other background. As Zixia Peak is the main peak of the three peaks, he took advantage of the situation to hold a banquet and invited the masters of the other two peaks and Master Tuyang, the deputy leader of Qianyuan Sect, to attend the banquet, in order to use this as an excuse to strengthen his own power.

That night, Master Bishui took out the spiritual wine that he had collected for many years, and everyone drank a little too much.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Fairy Liu..."

Master Tu Yang's face flushed, and he took out a fiery red Ruyi from his storage ring. This turned out to be a third-grade top-grade ancient treasure, filled with a very strong ancient treasure aura! Both offensive and defensive, it was almost at the same level as Ning Daoran's Lingxiao Wumeng bracelet, and might even be better than the Lingxiao Wumeng bracelet.

"This is an ancient treasure that I have treasured for many years, and it is called Fire Ruyi."

Master Tu Yang frowned, looking at Liu Ruyan with sincerity in his eyes, and said, "Since the day I first saw the fairy, I knew that I must be with you in this life. Today... I am willing to present this treasure to the fairy as a gift, and I only ask that the fairy can marry me and become a Taoist partner with me. What do you think?"

Suddenly, Ning Daoran, Master Bishui, and several maids in the Foundation Establishment Stage in Master Bishui's mansion were all shocked.

Although everyone knew that Master Tu Yang loved and pursued Liu Ruyan, it was all tacit knowledge. Master Tu Yang did not point it out, and Liu Ruyan pretended to be confused. But this time was different. Master Tu Yang, while drunk, even prepared a betrothal gift. A third-rank ancient treasure was extremely heavy.

"Fairy Liu..."

Master Tu Yang held the Fire Ruyi in his hand, his face full of sincerity: "I only ask you one question, are you willing?"

"Senior Tu Yang."

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly: "Senior is the deputy leader of Qianyuan Sect and a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, while I, Liu Ruyan, am only a casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage. I am not qualified to marry you. Moreover, Ruyan has become accustomed to the life in the Purple and Green Three Peaks and does not want to make any changes. I hope Senior Tu Yang will forgive me..."

"you……"

Master Tu Yang's face flushed red, and he felt a little embarrassed. He thought that under such circumstances, Liu Ruyan would definitely agree, but he didn't expect that she would actually refuse.

"Fairy Liu..."

Master Tu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Does Fairy Liu really want to hurt my true heart like this?"

"I……"

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth, not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, Ning Daoran frowned slightly, and with a "pa" sound, he placed the wine pot heavily on the table, and stood up and said, "Senior Tu Yang, since Fairy Liu is unwilling, it means that the matter of forming a Taoist couple has not yet come to fruition. I hope Senior Tu Yang will give up. It would be bad if you force her at this time."

"Master Qiushui!"

Master Tu Yang suddenly turned around, his eyes turned cold, "What does this have to do with you?"

“It’s relevant.”

Ning Daoran said calmly, "Senior Tu Yang may not know that Fairy Liu and I once lived in the same small sect and got along for decades. She was my Senior Sister Liu and even the Taoist partner of my Senior Brother Lin Sheng. If Senior Tu Yang forces Senior Sister Liu to stay and be your Taoist partner, I cannot stand idly by!"

"joke……"

True Lord Tu Yang sneered, "Mr. Ning, let's not talk about whether Liu Ruyan is the Taoist partner of your Senior Brother Lin Sheng. Even if she is your Taoist partner, so what? The woman I, True Lord Tu Yang, like, so what if I snatch her away?"

"So, Senior, do you want to take action?"

Ning Daoran frowned, and silently made up his mind. At this time, he had already refined the second Mirror Flower Water Moon Array. If it was combined with the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, it might be possible to cross the level and kill Master Tu Yang here! If Master Bishui was not convinced, he would kill them all, and then escort Senior Sister Liu to another state to settle down.

As a Sanren of Jianjia, Ning Daoran would not be timid when he came to Sangyu Country. As the number one person in the Golden Core Stage, should he be bullied by Master Tuyang? "Senior Tuyang!"

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, please calm down and don't hurt Junior Brother Ning!"

"snort……"

Master Tu Yang snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the door: "Ruyan, I have expressed my feelings today. If you are willing, come to me. If you are not willing... I will never force you!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Daoran with a cold look in his eyes and said, "Master Qiushui, right? I will remember you."

Master Tu Yang turned away.

Liu Ruyan gave a bitter smile.

There was a hint of murderous intent in Ning Daoran's eyes.

Master Bishui's back was covered in cold sweat. He felt as if he had died many times at that moment just now.

Several maids trembled and remained silent.

…

Ning Daoran looked indifferent. After sending Liu Ruyan back to Qingxia Peak, he began to retreat again.

At this moment, the refining of the Nine-turn Ruyi Formation must be put on the agenda! If this formation is refined, combined with the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation, Ning Daoran will have at least a 30% chance of killing an early Nascent Soul alone!
