Chapter 564 No Such Person
After returning to Guixu City, Ning Daoran stayed indoors for dozens of days. On the one hand, he dealt with the corpses and demon cores of the monsters, and on the other hand, he tried to avoid the spotlight. After all, the Bi Hai Tianjun was a monster in the God Transformation Stage, with great magical powers. Maybe he had the means to disguise himself and enter Guixu City to look for someone. If that were the case, it would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, Guixu City had a profound foundation and was heavily guarded against monsters, so there was no trouble for a month. Apparently, although the Lord of the Blue Sea had great magical powers, he was not powerful enough to sneak into Guixu Fairyland and kill people.
One afternoon, Ning Daoran finally walked out of the cave and had a cup of tea in the "public area" outside.
"Senior Jianjia!"
Not far away, a young man in the early stage of foundation building was holding a thick stack of official newspapers and said with a smile: "Would you like a copy of Guixu Fairyland Official News? It records all the recent secrets~~"
"Can!"
Ning Daoran threw out two spirit stones.
The young man respectfully handed over the report and then left with a fist salute.
"Fellow Daoist Ning?"
The restrictions on the cave nearby were lifted, and the icy beauty in a green dress and with a calm expression walked out.
The Jadeite Fairy was still the same as usual, looking cold and icy, except that she was a little more familiar with Ning Daoran, the "important customer".
"Congratulations to Brother Ning for returning safely from killing monsters at sea."
Fairy Yuzui smiled calmly and said, "I was worried about you for a while before, but now I am relieved to see you return safely."
"Thank you for your concern, fairy."
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "Xiaobai, make tea for the fairy."
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, the restrictions on the cave on the left slowly dissipated, and Jin Yuanzi, dressed in a dark golden robe, walked out of it. Although this person's cultivation level seemed extremely ordinary to Ning Daoran, he was an early Nascent Soul cultivator after all, so naturally he still had some bearing.
"Friend Ning, long time no see!"
"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuanzi, long time no see!"
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, motioning Xiaobai to pour another cup of tea.
The three of them sat opposite each other and talked casually about things happening in the city.
Ning Daoran's eyes were deep and his spirit was restrained. At this moment, he had the air of a Nascent Soul cultivator. On the other hand, the Jadeite Fairy had a very cold look and her voice, although soft, did not contain much emotion.
Jin Yuanzi was the most enthusiastic, and he glanced at the Jadeite Fairy from time to time. He must have cared a lot about this female cultivator who was also in the Nascent Soul stage.
In fact, there are few Nascent Soul cultivators living in this level of the cave who do not admire the Jadeite Fairy. After all, the attraction of having such an extraordinary talent in the art of talismans and having cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage through her own talent is simply too great.
However, the Jadeite Fairy was not interested in the matter of Taoist companions at all and showed no interest at all.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the union of male and female cultivators also follows a certain bias mechanism, that is, female cultivators with good looks generally will not marry male cultivators of the same level. If they have to choose, they will generally appeal to their superiors.
The same is true for male cultivators. When it comes to finding a partner, they usually look to the lower level. Most female cultivators at the same level are arrogant and difficult to get along with, while female cultivators at a lower level are young and good-looking, and will be a better choice.
However, a combination like Ning Daoran and Lin Man is truly rare. It's a pity that Lin Man is burdened with the responsibility of her senior sister Chi Shan. Although she and Ning Daoran are Taoist partners in name, they are still not Taoist partners in reality.
It's simply a sin. Ning Daoran has been practicing Taoism for more than four hundred years, but he is still a virgin.
"Fellow Daoist Ning."
Jin Yuanzi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This time Ning Daoran went to the Endless Monster Sea to kill monsters. He has been gone for half a year. I wonder what he gained from killing monsters this time?"
“…”
The Jadeite Fairy frowned, feeling secretly dissatisfied.
For cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, this kind of search for opportunities is usually a secret and will not be easily told to others. However, Jin Yuanzi was so ignorant that he asked directly. Isn't this forcing Fellow Daoist Ning to lie?
Ning Daoran has clear eyes and it's obvious that he's not a liar. Doesn't this make it very difficult for him? "Oh, don't mention it. Ning has a bad fate and bad luck this time."
Someone held a teacup and frowned, saying, "After entering the deep sea, we first encountered a sea monster storm. Not only did we not kill many sea monsters, we even lost the Monster Spirit Boat. We could only abandon the boat and escape by water. We wandered on the sea for several months and finally floated back to Guixu City. If we talk about what we gained, it was only a few Golden Core Early Stage Monster Beasts. It's better not to mention it."
"I see……"
Jin Yuanzi nodded and said, "Going out to sea to kill monsters and look for opportunities depends on luck. Fellow Daoist Ning, don't be discouraged. Just prepare for it in two years and start over. You will definitely gain a lot next time!"
"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Taoist."
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled and continued drinking tea.
"Recently, there has been shocking news in Guixu City. Fellow Daoist Ning just returned to the city, but I don't know if you have heard anything about it."
Jin Yuanzi said: "The Jadeite Fairy is in the city, she should have heard the news."
He was just making small talk, he just wanted to say a few more words to the Jadeite Fairy, this made him feel extremely relieved.
"oh?"
Ning Daoran asked, "What kind of news could make Fellow Daoist Jin Yuanzi use the word 'shocking'?"
"snort!"
Jin Yuanzi smiled and said, "Not long ago, a fellow Taoist codenamed 'Huaguoshan Giant Monkey' shot up from tens of thousands to 99th place on the Monster Killing List in a short period of time, and even made another sharp advance later, reaching the 88th place! The top 100 cultivators on the Monster Killing List are either powerful warriors from past generations, or peak cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage or the Spiritualization stage. The ranking of the top 100 may not change for decades, but I didn't expect this person to be so powerful that he rushed to such a high ranking of 88th in one go!"
As he spoke, Jin Yuanzi looked amazed and said, "If this person is not a senior in the Spiritualization Stage, he must be at least a Taoist fellow in the late Nascent Soul Stage."
"I have heard something about this matter."
The Jadeite Fairy, who had been silent for a long time, said, "I heard from the people on the Demon Killing List that no one knows who this Flower-Fruit Mountain Giant Horse Monkey is, but his fighting power is comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul!"
Jin Yuanzi said, "It's strange. There are only a handful of late Nascent Soul and Spiritualization cultivators in my Eastern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. Basically, their rankings can be found on the Monster Killing List. For example, Ning Tianyi, the Lord of Guixu City, is ranked 91st on the Monster Killing List. He just happened to be overtaken. But no one knows who this Flower-Fruit Mountain Giant Monkey is."
He was somewhat speechless: "What is the Flower-Fruit Mountain? Have you ever heard of it?"
The Chalcedony Fairy shook her head.
Ning Daoran frowned and whispered in a guarded tone, "We, at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, should not ask too much about the affairs of such a rare great cultivator, so as to avoid provoking him and bringing ourselves trouble."
"Exactly."
Fairy Yuzui rarely smiled: "Fellow Daoist Ning is extremely worried. We should not investigate the source of this matter."
“Yes, yes…”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Jin Yuanzi nodded repeatedly.
…
A few days later.
Ning Daoran decided to sell the stolen goods. A large amount of third-level materials and third-level demon pills needed to be processed. It would be better to exchange these things for spirit stones as soon as possible. After all, you might have to spend a lot of spirit stones at any time. How could you use the mere 10 million spirit stones in the storage ring! If Lin Man returns in the future, the betrothal gift for her must be at least 5 million spirit stones? So, Ning Daoran re-refined a batch of first-class paper figurines and released them secretly.
A few days later, all the major markets in Guixu City were in chaos. Suddenly, nearly four hundred third-level demon pills flooded into the market. What was even more terrible was that there were more than twenty pure demon pills among them!
As a result, all the major markets took out pure demon pills as selling points and prepared their own auctions to compete for the market resources of Guixu City. These days, the competition has been very lively, with one party taking over and another coming on stage. They have tried every possible means to obtain the precious market resources of Guixu Fairyland.
Ning Daoran was too lazy to care about these things. He already had millions of spirit stones in his pocket anyway.
However, the senior officials of Guixu City began to speculate. Although Guixu Immortal City itself had a relatively large turnover and various great repairmen went out to sea to kill monsters, and brought back many monster pills and materials for the Immortal City, third-level monster pills were not common goods after all. According to the usual shipment volume, there were only three to five third-level monster pills per day at most. But at this time, hundreds of third-level monster pills flooded into the market in just a few days!
So, who has the ability to produce so many third-level demon pills in just a few days?
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but think of the mysterious monk "Huaguoshan Big Horse Monkey" who rushed into the 88th place on the Demon Killing List. Only this person could have such a hand! Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion sent monks to track down the seller. They used various soul and breath locks to track down, but in the end, "there is no such person", so they had to let it go.
…
A few months later.
The practice in Guixu City is quiet and fulfilling.
One day, Ning Daoran was meditating in the cave when he heard the sound of restrictions from outside. It seemed that someone had just walked out of Jin Yuanzi's cave, and then that person stopped in front of Ning Daoran's cave.
“Swish!”
A sound transmission note flew into the cave, and a man's voice came out: "Senior Ning, my name is Zhou Yunlong. Like you, I am a cultivator from the Xia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. I would like to meet you!"
"oh?"
Ning Daoran frowned, raised his hand and brushed away the restriction: "Young friend, please come in."
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhou Yunlong bowed hurriedly, lowering his back very low.
Ning Daoran glanced at the other person. He was in the late Jindan stage and his foundation seemed relatively solid, but he didn't know why this person took the initiative to find him.
After serving tea, Ning Daoran said, "Since you are a fellow Taoist from Xia Country's cultivation world, please speak frankly. I still need to practice."
"yes!"
Zhou Yunlong clasped his fists and said, "I wonder if you have any need to go out to sea to kill monsters recently. I hope to have a chance to follow you to go out to sea to kill monsters. I have stayed in Guixu City for hundreds of years and am very familiar with the Endless Monster Sea. I can act as your guide. I hope you can consider it. Of course, the chance to kill monsters in the Endless Monster Sea belongs to you. I only hope to gain a little military merit."
"Ning understands."
Ning Daoran said calmly, "However, I have no plans to go out to sea to kill monsters recently. Besides, I am a loner by nature. I can go out to sea to kill monsters alone. I don't want to travel with others."
"I see……"
Zhou Yunlong looked disappointed and left immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, open the door."
Outside, the voice of the Chalcedony Fairy was heard.
Ning Daoran opened the ban.
The Jadeite Fairy floated in, raised her hand and cast a few soundproof prohibitions, frowned slightly and said: "Did Zhou Yunlong invite you to go out to sea to kill monsters together? You must not agree, this guy is not a good guy."
