Chapter 583: Joining forces to hunt for treasure

“Swish, swish, swish~~~”

As one miniature formation after another rose up, Ning Daoran set up dozens of restrictions outside of the restriction. He continuously cast spells, using the method of softness overcoming hardness to continuously dissolve the ancient restriction before him.

"Fellow Daoist Ning's array method..."

From within the forbidden area, the voice of the True Lord Long Ji was heard: "It is truly superb, and I admire it to my heart's content!"

"Fellow Daoist Long Ji, thank you for your compliment."

Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "It's just some common methods of the fourth-level formation."

“…”

Hearing this, Longque Sanren felt very uncomfortable.

Ning Daoran made the fourth-level formation sound so common, but he didn't know the value of a fourth-level formation master in the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. No matter in which sect or force, a fourth-level formation master must be worshipped, and even have to be given a distinguished status like guest elder or deputy sect master to retain him.

He made the fourth-level formation sound so commonplace. Could it be that a genius could really do whatever he wanted?

…

Half an hour later, with three consecutive spells being cast like a storm, the restrictions in front suddenly dissipated, and with the sound of the millstone turning, the entire green cloud dissipated instantly.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators walked out of the formation.

The one walking in front was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, wearing a dark red robe. He had an immortal look and a very immortal aura, with a white beard, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an accomplished Taoist master.

The Pilgrimage Sect is considered a top-level sect in the Sangyu Kingdom, and its leader is indeed extraordinary.

Next to her was a female cultivator wearing an off-white fairy dress, in the early Nascent Soul stage. She was graceful, with a natural jade-like appearance, delicate features, and full breasts. At first glance, one could not help but want to take a second look.

Lord Jinghong, the deputy leader of the Pilgrimage Sect, has an extremely beautiful face, which can be described as stunning at first glance. He is truly worthy of the word "jawn".

“Senior Long Ji, Senior Jing Hong!”

Ning Mingyu bowed and said, "Junior Ning Mingyu greets you!"

"Mingyu, long time no see!"

Master Jinghong smiled and nodded.

True Lord Long Ji bowed his head and looked at Ning Daoran: "Fellow Daoist Ning, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I finally meet you. I am deeply grateful for your help!"

"Fellow Daoist Long Ji, you are too polite. I just did it for the sake of convenience."

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded.

Zhenjun Longji then exchanged greetings with Sanren Longque. Meeting old friends in a foreign land, both sides were extremely polite.

"So the two of you are here to protect Mingyu. No wonder you came here."

True Lord Long Ji groaned and said, "However, Jin Yuanzi only knows one thing, but not the other. There will indeed be a treasure on this Jiulong Island, and many cultivators are coming. However, most of the cultivators have been forced back by the Nascent Soul monsters outside the Jiulong Island, and most of them have already retreated in the face of difficulties."

"We did encounter two monsters."

Longque Sanren said: "One is a Nascent Soul Early Stage Black Dragon, and the other is an even more powerful Nascent Soul Early Stage Extreme Flame Snail."

"It's these two evil beasts!"

True Lord Long Ji gnashed his teeth and said, "When my junior sister and I landed on the island, we were also entangled by these two evil beasts. After going through untold hardships to get rid of them, we finally landed on the island, but we didn't expect to be trapped by the ancient restriction on this island and have been trapped here for a long time."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what the precious treasure that will be unearthed on this island is?" Ning Daoran asked.

"It is said that it is the legendary Nine Dragon Mirror..."

"What!?"

Longque Sanren was horrified: "Nine...Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror?"

"Exactly!"

Jinghong Zhenjun said: "After my senior brother and I arrived on the island, we solved an ancient proverb that confirmed that the treasure that will appear on Jiulong Island is indeed the legendary Jiulong Treasure Mirror."

"Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror..."

Long Que Sanren's breathing quickened, and he said, "It is said that this item is not only a top-grade spiritual treasure, but also that an ancient saint hid a forbidden technique in the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror. If you get this mirror..."

“Ahem!”

True Lord Long Ji said: "The Nine Dragon Mirror is just a legend after all. I don't know if it really exists. However, my junior sister and I are sure that even if there is no Nine Dragon Mirror on this island, there must be treasures worthy of our visit."

"That's right!"

Jinghong Zhenjun looked at Ning Daoran with his wonderful eyes: "Fellow Daoist Ning is a fourth-level formation master, and has learned a lot about formations and prohibitions. In this case, why don't we work together to explore the treasures of Jiulong Island. What do you think?"

"That's good."

Longque Sanren narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I just don't know how we should divide the treasure if we really find it?"

“This is easy.”

True Lord Long Ji said: "It can be divided according to the contribution. Whoever contributes more will get more, and whoever contributes less will get less. How do you think?"

"Can."

Ning Daoran nodded: "Fellow Daoists Long Ji and Jing Hong are old friends of City Lord Ning, so they are considered as our own family. There is no need to haggle over the division of the treasure. We should work together to get the treasure first."

"Fellow Daoist Ning is absolutely right!"

True Lord Long Ji gave him a look of approval and said, "This Jiulong Island is full of dangers. We must work together to get the treasure without any casualties. We must completely trust each other this time!"

"Fellow Daoist Long Ji said very well!"

Longque Sanren groaned and said, "It's settled!"

"good!"

Everyone hit it off and decided to formally cooperate.

…

Soon after, they passed through the dense forest ahead and came to a valley in the core of Kowloon Island. They saw the surrounding area was filled with spiritual energy. Apart from the rich spiritual energy, there were only strange-shaped stones placed in the canyon.

"This is an opening formation."

Ning Daoran glanced over and immediately understood, saying: "I have seen the prototype of this formation before in an ancient teleportation formation in Xia Country. If nothing unexpected happens, the treasure is located under this formation. Give Ning half a day, and I will definitely be able to crack this formation!"

"good!"

True Lord Long Ji nodded immediately and said, "We are here to protect Fellow Daoist Ning. Fellow Daoist Ning, please take your time and be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Long Ji."

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

Ning Daoran stepped forward, took out various formation materials, and began to work on cracking this ancient formation.

The ancient teleportation array left behind by Lin Man, its array structure and spiritual pattern characteristics are indeed exactly the same as this array. They are all the works of array refining in ancient times and are completely different from today's arrays.

But Ning Daoran had an extremely high talent for formations. He was able to draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other instances. He "translated" this ancient formation into a modern one by replacing the characteristics of spiritual patterns and transforming the formation structure. It was no problem to crack it afterwards.

Not far away, True Lord Long Ji stood in mid-air with one hand behind his back, quietly protecting Ning Daoran.

He looked relaxed, as if nothing was wrong, and he was already feeling very confident.

The way to divide the treasure is that the more you work, the more you get, so the people who will benefit the most in the end must be myself and my junior sister. After all, I am one of the strongest middle-Nascent Soul masters in the entire Sangyu Kingdom, and my junior sister Jinghong Zhenjun is also one of the strongest in the early-Nascent Soul stage. The chances of winning the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror based on the amount of merit are very high.

At least he would never lose to a paper-thin middle-stage Nascent Soul like Long Que San Ren! Deep in his heart, True Lord Long Ji was confident that he could easily win even if Long Que San Ren had to do it alone. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the leader of a top sect, while Long Que San Ren could only become an old retainer who looked after Ning Tianyi's house.

He glanced at Ning Mingyu not far away and couldn't help but frowned.

Ning Mingyu is the apple of Ning Tianyi's eye. If possible... he can lend a helping hand in this treasure hunt. If Ning Mingyu is saved once or twice, it will be of great benefit to the future of the Pilgrimage Sect after Ning Tianyi finds out. It may even allow the Pilgrimage Sect to remain on the throne of the top sect for hundreds of years!

…

Half a day later.

"It's done!"

Ning Daoran suddenly waved his hand and a spell came out. Immediately, there was a ringing and shaking sound under the stone formation in front of him. Huge rocks began to move. Soon, a pile of stones were scattered all around, and the blank surface disintegrated like a Rubik's Cube, revealing a stone staircase leading to the underground.

"The entrance to the secret realm is opened!"

True Lord Long Ji showed a look of joy. He did not expect that Ning Daoran, the wanderer from Jianjia, had such a high attainment in the art of formations that he could crack such an obscure ancient formation so easily.

"Fellow Daoist Ning's attainments in the art of formations are truly extraordinary. I admire you deeply!"

Master Jinghong smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Jinghong, thank you for your compliment."

Ning Daoran was humble for a moment, then said, "The aura of the monsters in this cave is extremely strong... Although we are here for the treasure, our own safety is more important. Fellow Daoist Longque, Fellow Daoist Jinghong, you two can stay behind to protect Mingyu, while Fellow Daoist Longji and I will lead the way in front. What do you think?"

"good!"

Longque Sanren nodded heavily. Ning Mingyu's sworn brother was indeed an outstanding person. He was not only thoughtful but also very responsible. The city lord really had a good eye for people and even such a talent was won over by him.

"good."

True Lord Long Ji smiled and nodded: "That's the best. Mingyu's safety should really be put first."

As he spoke, True Lord Long Ji flicked his sleeves and rode an ancient treasure into the cave first.

Ning Daoran, holding the big blue dragon and with blood and energy surging around him, also rushed down.

Inside the cave, it suddenly darkened, and then red flames came from deep in the stone steps, and the demonic aura became stronger and stronger.

"Fellow Daoist Long Ji, be careful..." he warned.

"Um!"

True Lord Long Ji nodded, and "pa pa" sent out two magical spells, which turned into two pathfinders flying in front, which were somewhat similar to Ning Daoran's paper man technique.

I don’t know how long I flew, but the light ahead became brighter and hotter.

At the end of the stone steps, there was a stone slab with cracked texture. When Ning Daoran released his Nascent Soul consciousness to explore, he felt the burning breath and strong demonic energy under the stone slab.

"This should be the legendary rock formation."

True Lord Long Ji frowned and said, "Under the rock layer is the magma layer, and the scorching temperature is coming from the magma layer."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Ning Daoran raised his hand and cast a few prohibitions, but found that the cracks in the rock strata were getting bigger and bigger, and soon bulges appeared, as if something was about to break out.

"careful!"

At the moment when True Lord Long Ji gave the warning, there were suddenly four loud bangs of "bang bang bang", and then four huge blood-red insect figures rushed out from the magma layer, screaming and rushing towards the monks above like lightning!
