Chapter 548: Dongming City after the War
“Don’t be lazy.”
Ning Daoran nodded and looked at Xiaoqing, saying: "Although you have already condensed your infant, your ghost energy has not yet been consolidated. I will stay here for another year or so, and leave after your foundation is solid."
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
Xiaoqing immediately sat cross-legged, and with a ghostly aura all over her body, she began to consolidate her Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
"Sir."
On the side, Xiao Bai said softly: "Shall we wait here?"
"Um."
Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag and arranged a Nine-Turn Ruyi Formation and a Kunpeng Liuyin Formation around him. For a moment, the scenery around the ancestral land of the Yanluo Sect in Yunxi Ridge was completely obscured.
…
A few days later, in Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran slowly opened his eyes and finally erased all the marks on Jing Long's storage ring. When his spiritual sense explored the treasures in the storage ring, he was suddenly amazed.
Almost half of Qiyun Tower's wealth is in this storage ring. There are more than four million spirit stones alone, and the rest of the treasures, spiritual medicines, spiritual fruits, pills, etc. are countless.
This old man Jing Long is indeed a dictator. He only cares about himself. He has been the ancestor of Qiyun Tower for many years, but he has plundered so much money and has no intention of giving it away.
According to Jing Long's plan, if he can survive another thousand or two thousand years, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to the God Transformation Stage, and then plan to ascend to the Earthly Immortal Realm. In this way, he may really succeed in cultivating immortals, and eventually enter the Mahayana stage by sharing the long lifespan of the Southern Stone Turtle, and even ascend to the Immortal Realm later.
It's a pity that this old man stretched his hands too far and offended someone he shouldn't have offended.
In addition, deep inside the storage ring, there is a jade slip and a piece of animal bone engraved with tiny characters. The animal bone records the original version of the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art, while the jade slip is imprinted with a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art.
"finally……"
Ning Daoran breathed a sigh of relief. After lingering in Dongming City for nearly twenty years, he finally got the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art!
"Old deer!"
He took a deep breath and threw the jade slip to the big stupid deer: "The Five-Colored Deer Calling Technique is in harmony with your destiny. From now on, practice well. This technique will greatly improve your cultivation!"
“Ahhh~~~”
The big stupid deer was very excited. He rushed into his room in the cabin with the jade slip in his mouth and started practicing in seclusion.
Ning Daoran held the animal bone and looked at it for a long time. Forget it. This thing belonged to the Beast Taming Sect. Lu Wen Yao was not dead yet. He would return it to her when he had the chance. It would be considered as earning a favor from the Beast Taming Sect.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
When Ning Daoran walked out of Lingpu Cave, Xiaoqing was already waiting outside.
Now Xiaoqing's Nascent Soul cultivation has been stabilized. She wears a green flowing cloud skirt and her beautiful eyes are misty, which makes her look extremely beautiful. She is less ghostly than before, but has more of the aura of an immortal female cultivator.
The Nascent Soul Stage is indeed extraordinary! Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows and released his Nascent Soul consciousness without hesitation to patrol Xiaoqing's body, looking through her from inside to outside.
"Young Master..."
Two blushes appeared on her face, making her look quite charming and beautiful.
"snort!"
Ning Daoran snorted softly, now he had already figured it out clearly.
Xiaoqing is indeed in the early stage of Nascent Soul now. The Nascent Soul with extremely heavy Yin energy has been completely solidified. It's just that evil spirits are not easily accepted in the world of immortal cultivation. From ancient times to the present, even the existence of the Black Mountain Old Demon is no more than this. A real great cultivator can easily manipulate him.
So although Xiaoqing is in the early Nascent Soul stage, her combat power is inferior to that of ordinary human Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage. In a real fight, she is a little bit short of the mark. Although she can fight for hundreds of moves without being defeated, she is obviously far from being comparable to Dabenlu, who is in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
"Xiaoqing, remember to be modest and guard against arrogance. Although you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, you are still a ghost. This has not changed at all. You must remain humble in your heart, lest you accidentally fall into the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"yes!"
Xiao Qing bowed and said, "Master, I will remember every word you said in my heart!"
"Um."
Ning Daoran waved his sleeves and said, "Well, we have stayed in Yunxi Ridge for half a year. It is time to return to Liuyun Mountain."
"Exactly."
Ji Ning pursed her red lips and said, "Dongming City and Liuyun Mountain, I don't know what they have become now."
"Let's go."
Ning Daoran hung the Lingpu Dongtian around his waist, then disguised himself as Huo Yuan Zhenjun, transformed into a flash of blood-red light and headed straight for Dongming City.
…
late at night.
There were explosions of fire in the sky above Dongming City. It turned out that a middle-stage Jindan fire cultivator was fighting with an early-stage Jindan sword cultivator. What they were fighting for was a teahouse on the commercial street.
It seems that the immortal cultivation world in Hunzhou has been seriously damaged. Even a middle-stage Jindan cultivator dares to be so arrogant and domineering.
Ning Daoran passed by and just glanced at the two of them.
"not good!"
The two Jindan hurriedly controlled the escape light to the ground and hid in the streets and alleys. They looked up at the blood-colored escape light in the sky. The real Nascent Soul stage aura was too scary! "Could it be...that Huo Yuan Zhenjun is back?" The two were stunned and stopped fighting.
If it is really True Lord Huo Yuan who returns to Dongming City to take charge of the situation, then the fight among the remaining people will lose its meaning, and everything here will eventually belong to that great cultivator.
Liuyun Mountain.
There were also cultivators fighting on the mountainside, and what they were fighting for was nothing more than the right to use some high-level caves.
Ning Daoran took Ji Ning straight to the top of the mountain and came to his own fifth-level spiritual vein cave, but found that the restriction he had casually set up before leaving was still there and no one had touched it.
"Good fellow..."
Ning Daoran was secretly shocked. How could a Yuanying-stage cultivator's deterrent power be so terrifying? After being away for so long, no one dared to touch his fifth-level spiritual vein cave. The whole Dongming City was about to be in chaos, but this place was extremely quiet, and no one had even been here.
"Is it... is it Senior Ning?"
Not far away, a timid voice came.
Ning Daoran looked up and saw that it was the Beast Tamer who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was not wearing the Beast Tamer's uniform at this time. He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Ning would return to Dongming City. That's great!"
"Um."
Ning Daoran asked, "Does this young friend have any news about your clan leader, Lu Wenyao?"
"some."
The man said respectfully, "The sect master is leading the elders of each mountain and the masters of each hall of the Beast Taming Sect to gather troops in Hunzhou and Wuzhou. They will return to Dongming City soon to take back their ancestral property."
"good."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ning Daoran smiled calmly: "In that case, I will continue to retreat and wait for Sect Master Lu to return to Dongming City!"
"yes!"
The eyes of this foundation-building cultivator lit up and he was overjoyed. Ning Daoran's words were equivalent to having a Nascent Soul cultivator supporting the Beast Taming Sect's return to Dongming City. The weight of these words was actually quite heavy!
…
So, Ning Daoran began his days of seclusion and practice again.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was 420 years old. When he walked out of Lingpu Cave Heaven, the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra had reached the 26th level, and his blood and energy were even more vigorous! At this time, the big stupid deer had already practiced the Five Color Deer Calling Art and had made some progress.
The Five-Colored Deer Calling Technique is a secret technique of spiritual beasts that is extremely compatible with the big stupid deer's own bloodline. At this time, only one deer call is needed to kill people invisibly, which is hard to guard against!
At this point, the combat power of the big stupid deer has increased significantly again, and it is almost able to see the taillights of the big brother!
"Um?"
Inside the cave, Ning Daoran glanced at Xiaobai not far away, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Xiaobai, have you shown signs of condensing your baby?"
"Exactly."
Xiao Bai had a smile on her face, and said happily, "As expected of you, Master. You can tell at a glance that during your retreat, I had already shown signs of forming an infant half a year ago. However, my foundation is not yet completely solid, so I want to continue to practice for a while."
"Well, you're right to think so."
Ning Daoran patted his storage bag and took out a huge jade bottle from it, saying, "This jade bottle contains at least 200 fine True Blood Pills. You don't have to be stingy with the consumption of pills in the next period of time. Concentrate on practicing and condense your infant as soon as possible. If you can condense your infant, the combat power of my Ning family army will be greatly enhanced!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xiaobai smiled and nodded: "Sir, are you planning to leave Dongming City?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and said, "We have stayed in Dongming City for twenty years, which is enough. There will be no more benefits if we stay any longer."
"Sir, have you decided where to go next?"
"Yuzhou, the endless sea of monsters."
Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "Now that you are about to condense your infant, I plan to go to the Endless Demon Sea to see the scenery of the demon world, and by the way, make some advance preparations for the future plan of becoming a god in the Endless Demon Sea."
"good!"
Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
At this moment, a ray of light spread out from the entrance of the cave, and then a figure stepped into the cave. It was Ji Ning.
"Senior Ning, are you out of seclusion?"
Ji Ning had a look of surprise on her face, and she rushed to Ning Daoran in one step, appearing extremely well-behaved, with even a hint of hope in her eyes that Ning Daoran would pat her on the head.
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Ning has been in seclusion for two years. Has anything happened outside during this time?"
“There’s definitely a lot going on.”
Ji Ning said, "I will just pick out some important things to say. Not long ago, Lu Wenyao led the people of the Beast Taming Sect back to Dongming City. They fought a fierce battle with a group of robbery cultivators in the Beast Taming Sect's ancestral land and finally won, regaining the Beast Taming Sect's ancestral land. A few months ago, Lu Wenyao had already led the Yuanying stage rock dragon to occupy Liuyun Mountain and regained control of Dongming City."
She pursed her red lips and said, "In addition, there is another major event. Jing Qiyun, the chief disciple of Qiyun Tower who went to explore the secret realm and never returned, actually came back from the secret realm and cultivated to the late Jindan stage. Now he has gathered the remaining members of Qiyun Tower who were scattered outside and was elected as the owner of Qiyun Tower. He has taken back the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower."
Ning Daoran said calmly: "The return of the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower to Dongming City will probably lead to disputes."
"Um."
Ji Ning nodded, expressing his deep agreement.
But at this moment, a graceful figure appeared outside the cave. It was Lu Wenyao who had just been mentioned.
"Excuse me, Senior Ning, are you in the cave? Lu Wenyao wants to see you!"
