Chapter 515: Old People Don’t Change
"Lin Wuxian..."
Ning Daoran put the Four Symbols Spear Technique in his arms, feeling very proud. In the past, if one wanted to inherit such a unique skill, one would have to rack his brains or wait for decades before getting it. However, he did not expect that Lin Guo would be so straightforward and give it to him just like that.
"Thank you, Lin Wuxian. I will always remember your kindness!"
Ning Daoran clasped his fists again.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you are too polite."
Lin Guo smiled slightly: "The capital is very busy. If Fellow Daoist Ning is not in a hurry to leave, you can stay for a while. I can also have the opportunity to fulfill my hospitality as a host."
"It's really unfortunate."
Ning Daoran said, "Ning has just condensed his infant, and I am in a hurry to rush back to my hometown to announce the good news. As the saying goes, if you don't return home when you are rich and noble, it's like traveling at night in fine clothes. Lin Wuxian should also know this, right?"
"Know."
Lin Guo smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll drink and chat with you fellow Daoist Ning next time!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Ning Daoran cupped his fist towards Lin Guo, and then cupped his fist towards True Lord Xuehun who was not far away, and said, "Aunt, I'm sorry for offending you this time. Next time, I will drink three cups as punishment!"
“…”
True Lord Xuehun was speechless.
Lin Guo's pretty face blushed slightly. This guy actually followed her and called her aunt.
The next moment, Ning Daoran floated away and disappeared into the snowy night of Sangyu Kingdom.
It is true that he wants to return to Chaos Sect as soon as possible, but he wants to find a safe place as soon as possible to spend time practicing the Four Symbols Spear Technique.
…
A few days later, in Sangyu Country, the western border of Qinzhou.
Deep in a misty forest, a first-class paper figure sat under a tree with a Lingpu Dongtian hanging around its waist.
Ning Daoran sat cross-legged in front of the small house in the cave.
“Huh~~~”
In a moment, he slowly opened his eyes with a gleam of light in them. When he stood up, there were wisps of spear intent lingering around him, and his whole body was filled with the strong aura of a master!
It only took Ning Daoran 12,000 years of intensive practice to master the Four Symbols Spear Technique to its original state. All at once, the vast experience and insights in spear techniques poured into his body like the sea. When he held up the Great Blue Dragon, he looked much more experienced.
To put it in the words of kendo, Ning Daoran has already mastered the art of swordsmanship.
He has practiced a mid-grade heavenly spear technique to the point of returning to its original state. At this moment, he has become one with the spear, and can be called the spear god in the Eastern Wilderness's immortal world!
Moreover, now that he has entered the Nascent Soul stage and has the foundation of Dinghuo Spirit Body, his cultivation talent has indeed improved a lot. It only takes a little more than 10,000 years of intensive cultivation to cultivate to the point of returning to the original state. In the past... it might take at least 100,000 years! This is also good, saving more time for intensive cultivation to spend on the two ultimate foundations of Dragon Demon Heart Sutra and Eternal Evergreen Art.
"Congratulations, young master, on your mastery of the spear!"
On the side, Xiaobai bowed with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded and said with a smile: "The Four Symbols Spear Technique is indeed extremely unique!"
He raised his hand lightly, and the big blue dragon danced a spear flower in the air. Suddenly, the sound of Vermillion Bird's sharp scream passed through the wind. Fire light flickered around the tip of the spear, and the image of Vermillion Bird was hidden in it, ready to go. It was extremely shocking.
After the Four Symbols Spear Technique was cultivated to its original state, a total of four terrifying secret techniques were derived:
White Tiger Soul-Destroying! Azure Dragon Spinning Strike: Strangling! Vermillion Bird World-Destroying: Exploding! Black Tortoise Wandering: Defending! Each of the four secret techniques has its own merits. White Tiger Soul-Destroying focuses on breaking through thousands of troops, Azure Dragon Spinning Strike is good at breaking through defenses from point to surface, while Vermillion Bird World-Destroying is a large-scale attack and killing method. As the name suggests, Black Tortoise Wandering is a technique of defending against enemies with spearmanship.
With these four methods, Ning Daoran is basically not afraid of anyone in close combat!
After all, there are cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage in the Eastern Wilderness’ immortal cultivation world, but no fifth-level warriors.
Even Shen Luoyan had only reached the fifth level of spiritual cultivation, while his martial arts realm was still at the perfect Hunyuan realm, and he had not been able to break through that step.
"Old deer."
Ning Daoran stretched lazily and said with a smile: "It's time to go home and take a look. Let's go!"
“Ahhh~~~”
So, a man and a deer walked out of Lingpu Cave, collected the first-class paper man, and then, under the leadership of Ning Daoran, they turned into two blood-colored lights and flew out, heading straight into the depths of the forest.
Not long after, Ning Daoran landed among vines and bushes and cast several spells in succession. Suddenly, dozens of restrictions slowly dispersed, revealing an ancient teleportation array below that had been hidden for many years.
"Fortunately it's still there."
Ning Daoran was extremely grateful. He took out ten middle-grade spirit stones and filled them into the foundation stone of the formation. He then checked it and found that the teleportation formation opposite the Xia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world was not damaged. This ancient teleportation formation could still be used!
"Let's go!"
He activated the restriction again, and immediately took the big stupid deer into the teleportation array, chanting some magic words, and strands of milky white light rose from the soles of his feet!
"boom--"
With a loud bang, a man and a deer rose rapidly in the strong light, as if they were going straight to the dome of the world. The earth kept shrinking before their eyes, and the entire territory of Sangyu Kingdom was almost in sight.
Afterwards, after a brief dizziness, Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer fell rapidly and landed in another world.
I'm back! The ancient array stone in front of me is the same as before. It is the ancient teleportation array that Lin Man left for me a hundred years ago.
Ning Daoran released his Nascent Soul consciousness to investigate, and after confirming that there was no one else nearby, he took the big stupid deer out of the teleportation array, and immediately set up dozens of restrictions again to hide the formation.
"Old deer."
Ning Daoran was hanging in the air above the jungle, and smiled slightly, saying, "Let's go back to Liuhua Island to collect rent first?"
“Ahhhh~~~”
The big stupid deer wagged its tail excitedly, and collecting money was the happiest thing for him.
"Walk!"
A man and a deer broke through the wind and went directly into the Wuwang Sea, then rushed towards Liuhua Island.
…
Half a day later.
On the tranquil sea, three islands are connected together, which are the Liuhua Islands.
After an absence of ninety years, Ning Daoran and Dabenlu returned to the place where they had lived for many years, feeling deeply moved.
At this time, the dock of Liuhua Island was crowded with people. Many workers were loading batches of spiritual rice onto merchant ships. And nearby, there was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who was holding a book and recording the number of bags of spiritual rice in detail.
"Puff~~~"
There were two explosions in the air, the void was opened, and then two figures appeared.
One was the figure of a handsome young cultivator in a green robe, and the other was the figure of a strong and muscular spirit deer with abundant spiritual energy. Moreover, both figures exuded the aura of Nascent Soul without any concealment!
"ah?!"
The young man in the middle stage of foundation building who was holding the book was horrified.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He had been on the island for only forty years. Although this was not a very long time, he had heard from the Island Master Huang and a group of casual cultivators living on the island about many glorious battles that had taken place there.
Back then, Ning Daoran, the Lord of Liuhua Island, led a group of heroes to fight against the army of cultivators from Sangyu Country and kept the enemy out of the country. He had killed Yuanying cultivators like Wuwei Zhenjun and Huocanzi, and he had killed countless Jindan-stage cultivators!
Although these legends are extremely far away and many young cultivators no longer believe that a Jindan stage cultivator can surpass the Yuanying stage, this young Foundation Establishment stage cultivator firmly believes it because Island Master Huang said it himself.
It is impossible for Island Master Huang, who is at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, to talk nonsense.
And before my eyes...
This man and this deer are so similar to the Liuhua Island Master described by Island Master Huang and the white deer, his first spiritual beast!
It is said that the owner of Liuhua Island and Bailu are inseparable and as close as brothers. Could it be that these two...
The young foundation-building cultivator's heart began to beat wildly. Could it be that... Liuhua Island Master and Bai Lu have both advanced to the Nascent Soul stage? !
This is such a big event that it will surely shake the entire Xia Kingdom's cultivation world!
"Excuse me……"
The voice of the young foundation-building cultivator trembled slightly: "Two seniors...are you the former master of Liuhua Island and Senior Bailu?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran looked at him with a disdainful look and said with a smile, "Lao Lu and I happened to pass by Liuhua Island on our way back to our hometown, so we came to see if Huang Yiyi is still the island owner of Liuhua Island?"
"Exactly!"
"Very good, take me to see her."
"Yes, Senior Ning!"
The young foundation-building cultivator quickly flew up into the air and headed towards the main peak of Liuhua Island.
…
On top of the main peak, the bamboo forest sways.
Before Ning Daoran stepped onto the main peak, a figure rose into the air. She was wearing a long dress and looked graceful and elegant. It was Huang Yiyi. She looked almost the same as she did back then, except that her aura had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core.
"Uncle Ning!?"
Huang Yiyi almost cried, she rushed forward and held Ning Daoran's hand.
"Yiyi, you're already this big."
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "It's been ninety years since we last met. How have you been?"
"Okay, very good..."
Huang Yiyi pursed her red lips and smiled, "Uncle Ning, Uncle Lu, have you already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran nodded: "The group from Sangyu Country has benefited a lot. Now you are already in the Nascent Soul stage. Tell me quickly, has anyone bullied you over the years? Old Deer and I will get back at you right away!"
"No, no!"
Huang Yiyi chuckled: "Liuhua Island is a fairy island under Uncle Ning's name. I, Huang Yiyi, the acting island owner, am using Uncle Ning's name to bully others. I also have Senior Lin from Kunpeng Fairy City's Nantian Palace as my protector. Who dares to bully me?"
"That's good!"
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "Old Deer and I will stay on the island for one night and leave tomorrow."
"Okay, Yiyi will go clean the room now!"
On the main peak, Ning Daoran, Bai Lu, and Huang Yiyi floated down.
For a moment, the cultivators in the nearby caves all looked over from afar, stunned. After finding out that the man and the deer were both in the Nascent Soul stage, they all withdrew their spiritual consciousness. To investigate the Nascent Soul ancestor was to seek death.
At this time, many caves were opened on the main peak, and many Huang family cultivators lived in them.
As the current head of the Huang family, it is reasonable for Huang Yiyi to arrange more Huang family monks on the island. Ning Daoran can understand this, as long as he does not forget his identity.
…
At night, after a big meal, the moon is bright in the sky.
Ning Daoran stood on the cliff of the main peak, looking at Qingzhu Peak where Lin Man lived in the past. He suddenly missed her. He didn't know how Lin Man was doing now, and how Chi Shan's ghost cultivation plan was going.
"Uncle Ning."
Behind him, Huang Yiyi came slowly, holding a thick book in her right hand and a heavy storage bag in her left hand. She smiled and said, "Uncle Ning has been away from the island for ninety years. During these ninety years, the island has enjoyed good weather and good harvests. The income from spiritual rice and spiritual tea is quite good. The income from the cave rental is even more stable. The average annual income is about 40,000 spiritual stones. Yiyi shares half of it with the monks on the island. This is 1.8 million spiritual stones that belong to Uncle Ning. Yiyi has exchanged all of them for medium-grade spiritual stones for easy carrying."
