Chapter 590: Survival
The Kowloon Treasure Mirror is the most precious treasure on Kowloon Island and a legendary object!
Since ancient times, many great monks have perished in the endless sea of monsters for the sake of the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, but the human monks still continue to fight for the "Supreme Treasure Technique" recorded in the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, and never repent...
"Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror..."
Ning Daoran raised his hand and grasped the magic mirror, and suddenly shuddered. It was indeed a treasure. The moment he held it, countless images flashed through his mind.
This precious mirror is probably not just a magical treasure, but contains many secrets.
Don’t worry, take it back and study it slowly.
"Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror. Ning needs it, so I'll take it."
Ning Daoran glanced at the other treasures, pointed to a piece of withered wood placed in the treasure box next to the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, and said, "I will take this piece of wood as well. You two can choose any of the other treasures."
"Fellow Daoist Ning has made great contributions in this treasure hunt. It is only natural that you accept the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror."
Master Jinghong had recovered a lot and had completely accepted the reality of his brother's death. He said very calmly, "This piece of wood next to it... could it be the legendary Nine Dragon Wood?"
"Nine Dragon Wood?"
Ning Daoran just felt that although most of the wood had dried up, there was still some vitality inside it. Perhaps it could be nourished by the Eternal Green Art. Moreover, if this thing was placed together with the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, it must not be too bad. However, he did not expect that it was actually Nine Dragon Wood.
"That's right."
True Lord Jinghong said, "The Nine Dragon Wood is a spiritual wood. When a real dragon dies, its dragon soul has a very low chance of producing seeds. When the seeds grow up and thrive, they become the legendary Nine Dragon Wood. The Nine Dragon Wood contains the essence of the real dragon's blood amber, and even has part of the life rules of the real dragon. It is a rare thing. It's a pity that this piece of Nine Dragon Wood has dried up and there is little vitality left. I'm afraid it can't be planted anymore."
"I see……"
Ning Daoran casually threw the Nine Dragon Wood into the storage ring and said, "It doesn't matter though. Seeing each other is fate. I will accept it with a smile. You two can choose any of the remaining treasures."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning."
True Lord Jinghong chose a lower-grade spiritual treasure-level Yu Linglong, while Ning Mingyu chose a lower-grade spiritual treasure-level Liuli Cup. Both treasures were quite good.
The remaining treasures were divided among the three of them: "One for me, one for my fellow Taoist." None of them were world-shattering things, so it was harmless to divide them up at will.
"Let's go."
At this time, the treasures deep in Jiulong Island had been moved away. Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "We have to leave this place quickly to avoid any complications."
"good."
The two nodded, and immediately recovered some of their magic power and left the cave together.
…
"Fellow Daoist Jinghong."
In the midst of the escaping light, Ning Daoran transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist Long Ji's death... I wonder how you plan to explain it after you return to the Holy Sect?"
"What suggestions does Fellow Daoist Ning have?"
Master Jinghong asked back.
"Simple."
Ning Daoran said, "In fact, there is no grudge between Daoist Fellow Long Ji and me. Daoist Fellow Long Ji was greedy for a moment and wanted to kill me, so I had to do it. I hope Daoist Fellow can cover up this matter. Otherwise, the Pilgrimage Sect will inevitably bear a grudge against me. Ning does not want to destroy the gate of the Pilgrimage Sect one day and become an enemy of Daoist Fellow Jing Hong."
“…”
Zhenjun Jinghong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Ning Daoran to speak so directly.
In fact, if the invincible Jianjia Sanren of the same level was provoked, he might really go to the Pilgrimage Sect. After all, it is not the first time for him to wipe out an entire family.
The only remaining members of the Pilgrimage Sect now are Jinghong Zhenjun, who is in the early Nascent Soul stage, and her Fire Falcon, who is also in the early Nascent Soul stage. There is absolutely no way they can withstand Ning Daoran.
It's actually best that he could say that.
"Don't worry, Brother Ning."
Jinghong Zhenjun smiled and said, "I know what to say. Senior brother and I, along with Ning Daoran and Mingyu, teamed up to challenge the Nine-headed Snake in the late Nascent Soul stage. I was injured in the battle, and Senior brother died at the hands of the Nine-headed Snake in order to save me. Fellow Daoist Ning was like a pillar that supported the situation, and ultimately led us to defeat the Nine-headed Snake, allowing me to return to the sect with the Lingbao Liuli Lamp."
"good!"
Ning Daoran nodded repeatedly.
Jinghong Zhenjun is not only beautiful, but also a wonderful person. Just a few casual words have changed the essence of the entire treasure hunt process.
"That's right."
Ning Daoran pondered for a moment and said, "The news of finding the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror this time..."
He glanced at Master Jinghong, then at Ning Mingyu, and said, "Mingyu, Fellow Daoist Jinghong, please keep it a secret. Just say that I only got a mid-grade spiritual treasure in the Hydra's cave, and didn't get the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror. This will also save me from the risk of being targeted by others for carrying a valuable treasure. I really don't want to get into trouble."
"Can."
Ning Mingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will keep the secret strictly!"
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I know my limits."
Jing Hong Zhen Jun pursed his red lips and said: "This time... I really have to thank you, fellow Taoist."
"It's just a small matter. Fellow Daoist, please don't bear a grudge against me."
“How could it be…”
Master Jinghong said softly, "I have always had a very good impression of you. If it weren't for what happened to you, Senior Brother... I would have even wanted to take the initiative to ask you if you already have a Taoist partner, and if you would be willing to consider me..."
“…”
Ning Daoran was confused, thinking, has he become so popular with women after cultivating immortality? How could a beautiful woman like Jinghong Zhenjun, who has a good figure and a sweet voice, be willing to throw herself into his arms? This kind of thing... I would never dare to think about it in my previous life. In my previous life, I was just a bald programmer. I was always rejected when I went on blind dates. I was always cheated by all kinds of people but never succeeded. I didn't even know which way the door of the nearby hotel opened...
"???"
Ning Mingyu glanced at Master Jinghong and looked unhappy.
…
Soon after, the three returned to the surface, passed through the dense forest on the island, and arrived at the Sea Dragon Fairy Boat in the shallow sea.
"Miss, you're finally back. I was so worried about you!"
Longque Sanren had already changed into clean clothes and was looking at everyone with excitement.
However, Ning Daoran and the other three were all covered in blood, as if they had just been through a bloody battle. Especially Ning Daoran, his blue shirt was covered with numerous holes and burn marks, and there were injuries all over his fists, face, and legs, obviously he had just been through a fierce battle! "That Jiulong Island..."
Longque Sanren narrowed his eyes and started gossiping.
Not far away, several elite soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion dressed as boatmen also came over, tilting their ears and blatantly carrying out City Lord Ning's secret order to "eavesdrop".
“Ahem…”
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, revealing a look of being seriously injured and dying, and said: "Ning's injuries are extremely serious. You can ask Mingyu and Jinghong Zhenjun about the things on the island..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Well, let's not talk about it. A lot of things happened." Ning Mingyu frowned slightly.
"Where is Lord Long Ji?"
Longque Sanren frowned. He had a good impression of Longji Zhenjun, a man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. After all, he was one of his own.
"My senior brother..."
Master Jinghong's eyes turned red. "Fellow Daoist Longque, you may not know that after we entered the underground cave, we encountered the legendary late Nascent Soul demon beast Hydra. In the fierce battle with the Hydra, my senior brother was killed by the Hydra in order to save me. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Ning was decisive and led Mingyu and me to finally kill the Hydra after going through hardships."
"ah?"
Long Que San Ren's blood boiled when he heard this: "Then... the legendary Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror?"
"Where is the Nine Dragon Mirror..."
Jinghong Zhenjun showed an annoyed expression: "The legend of Jiulong Island may just be a deliberate hoax set up by someone, so that human cultivators like me can die on Jiulong Island and become the flesh and blood essence of the nine-headed snake. After we kill the nine-headed snake, there is no Jiulong Treasure Mirror at all, only a few low-grade spiritual treasures."
“To be honest…”
Longque Sanren frowned: "However, it is also good to have a lower-grade spiritual treasure."
"Exactly!"
Master Jinghong nodded.
"Miss."
Longque Sanren turned and looked at Ning Mingyu: "After this battle, what is your ranking on the Monster Killing List?"
"We have entered the top 400, please rest assured, Senior Longque."
"That's great."
Longque Sanren suddenly remembered something and came to Ning Daoran and said, "Brother Ning, that nine-headed snake is a late Nascent Soul demon beast. Whoever gets the credit for killing it must have his ranking on the Demon Killing List improved a lot, right?"
"Military exploits?"
Ning Daoran's heart trembled, and he forgot about this part. He quickly wove a lot of nonsense in his mind, and said, "It's ridiculous. We went through so much hardship, but this nine-headed snake finally shook off its demon soul, leaving not even a trace. It is said that it is the spirit beast of a certain master in the God Transformation Stage. That master in the God Transformation Stage is the first leader of the Tiannan Immortal Alliance, so he planted a restriction in the body of the nine-headed snake. Once it is killed, its soul will be destroyed, and it will not be able to increase its ranking on the Demon Killing List at all."
This nonsense is of high quality, mixed with truth and falsehood, and with some of my own inferences, it seems very real.
"I see……"
Longque Sanren looked regretful: "This is... really too regrettable, but it doesn't matter, it's a good thing that everyone can return safely."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Ning Daoran nodded repeatedly: "Brother Longque is absolutely right!"
He showed a trace of fatigue and said, "We have been away for many months. It's time to return, right?"
"Yes, return!"
Long Que San Ren suffered heavy losses on this trip, even losing an arm. He hated this place so much that he immediately ordered, "Listen, weigh anchor and set sail, return to Guixu City!"
"Yes, Master Longque!"
A group of boatmen nodded, and most of them called him that on purpose by Longque Sanren himself.
…
Ning Daoran sat cross-legged and calmed his mind.
When a ray of divine consciousness penetrated into the demon-killing token, he suddenly discovered his new ranking—
Seventh place! That's a bit exaggerated, it's already in the top ten of the monster-killing history! On the side, Ning Mingyu and Jinghong Zhenjun both gave him a meaningful look, their beautiful eyes full of "So the Flower-Fruit Mountain Monkey is you".
Ning Daoran gave the two of them a fierce look and said, "You two better keep the secret, otherwise be careful or I will kill you to silence you."
"snort!"
The two girls crossed their arms, with an expression that said, "That depends on how you bribe me."
