Chapter 621 Water Vine

"This fairy boy..."

Ning Daoran smiled calmly: "Please tell me that I have a fourth-level middle-grade puppet that is slightly damaged. I just want to ask Daoist Qingxuzi to help repair it. It won't take much time. If you can repair it successfully, I am willing to give you a third-level top-grade ancient treasure as a thank you."

"Okay, please wait for a moment, I will go and report to Master."

"Thank you very much!"

The boy turned and left. Not long after, he walked out of the cave again and said, "Master said that during the retreat, no visitors are welcome. Senior Ning, please go back. Master is unwilling to see you because of all the disturbances outside."

"this……"

Ning Daoran frowned. If that was the case, this Qingxuzi was too arrogant!

He felt a little indignant. He was just a fourth-rank middle-grade puppet master. What was so great about that? He was a fourth-rank middle-grade formation master, and he was never like this on weekdays. How could he be so approachable...

But at this moment, a ray of golden light flashed across the sky above the bamboo forest and turned into a beautiful figure that appeared beside Ning Daoran. It was Ning Mingyu.

She frowned and said, "I heard from the servants that you came to the City Lord's Mansion but didn't come to see me and my father, so I came here after hearing the news. What are you doing?"

“Ahem…”

Ning Daoran was a little embarrassed: "I heard that Daoist Qingxuzi is a fourth-rank middle-grade puppet master, and I happen to have a middle-stage Nascent Soul puppet obtained in the secret realm, but it is slightly damaged and cannot be used, so I wanted to ask Daoist Qingxuzi to repair it. But I didn't expect that Daoist Qingxuzi was in retreat, and I am the one who disturbed him."

"Yeah?"

Ning Mingyu refused to believe in evil, and walked to the front of the cave, put his hands on his waist and said, "Uncle Qingxu, I am Ning Mingyu!"

After a while, the cave opened and an old man in a light blue robe came out. He looked a little embarrassed and looked at Ning Mingyu with a very doting look: "Mingyu, why are you here?"

"Huh, you're so bold to say that."

Ning Mingyu looked annoyed: "My brother came to visit you sincerely, but you turned him away. Is this polite? Besides, my brother just wanted you to help repair the puppet. It's not as time-consuming and laborious as refining a new puppet. You are not willing to help with such a small matter?"

"Ah? This..."

Qingxuzi was even more embarrassed. He lost all his airs in front of Ning Mingyu. He clasped his fists and smiled at Ning Daoran, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I offended you before, but it was because I have always been a dull person and don't want to contact with outside cultivators. Therefore, I turned down all visits. I hope fellow Daoist Ning don't take it personally."

Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless: "I wonder if Daoist Fellow Qingxuzi is willing to spend a little time to repair the puppet for me? Daoist Fellow, please rest assured that I will definitely fulfill my promise, and there is absolutely no deception."

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist."

Qingxuzi smiled and said, "Since you are Mingyu's brother, we are all family. Come in, and let's talk about repairing the puppet in detail."

"Okay, thank you very much!"

…

Inside the cave.

Ning Daoran and Qingxuzi sat opposite each other, while Ning Mingyu stood beside Ning Daoran, looking extremely partial to his sworn brother.

Qingxuzi was a guest official on the island. He had watched Ning Mingyu grow up and doted on her, with helplessness in his eyes.

“Swish!”

Ning Daoran used a wisp of his magic power to take out the Fire Hound Puppet and put it aside, saying, "Daoyou, please look, this is exactly it. The control part of it was damaged in the secret realm, but I didn't know how to repair it and refine it into a form that other cultivators can control."

"this……"

Qingxuzi took a quick glance and knew that this puppet was extraordinary.

He had been promoted to a fourth-rank middle-grade puppet master for many years, but he had only refined two fourth-rank middle-grade puppets. However, the two puppets he refined were obviously not as powerful as the one in front of him.

"This puppet...is not from the modern era."

Qingxuzi looked at him with a sharp gaze and said, "If I am not mistaken, this puppet was probably brought out from some ancient secret realm, is that right?"

"Daoyou is indeed very observant."

Ning Daoran did not mention which secret realm he obtained the treasure from. After all, the name of Taixu Fairyland was too grand. It was the greatest opportunity in the entire Endless Sea of ​​Demons. If the other party knew that he had entered the inner hall of Taixu Fairyland, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

As for the Purple Flame Demon Lord, if he leaks the news, there will be nothing we can do.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qingxuzi is confident that he can repair this puppet?"

"Let me take another look."

Qingxuzi looked at the Fire Hound carefully and said, "To be honest with Fellow Daoist Ning, the manufacturing method of this puppet and the spiritual patterns inside it are extremely complicated. Even a fourth-rank mid-level puppet master would find it extremely difficult to replicate. Fortunately, the puppet was only damaged by some control crystals, which is simple. I can repair it."

He groaned and said, "It will take a long time to repair this puppet, about two months. I wonder if you can..."

The reason why he said this was simply because he wanted to spend more time on it. Repairing the Yuanjing components was simple, but carefully observing a Yuanying middle-stage puppet that had been passed down from ancient times, such opportunities were rare, and this Fire Hound puppet was well preserved, which was a rare item for a puppet master like him.

"Can."

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled: "Ning is also quite interested in puppetry, can I observe the repair process from the side?"

His meaning was very simple. As a time traveler, Ning Daoran hated the practice of 4S shops replacing parts when repairing cars in his previous life. The Volkswagen CC he inherited from his father had to retire early because the 4S shop replaced several important parts. He couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it now.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Qingxuzi nodded and smiled.

On the side, Ning Mingyu smiled sweetly. She knew nothing about the overt and covert affairs of the two "old drivers".

…

So, Ning Daoran stayed in Qingxuzi's cave for two and a half months.

“Roar~~~”

With a terrifying roar, the Fire Hound Puppet stood majestically in the cave and had been completely repaired.

Moreover, the control crystal of Huohuo was restored and the original imprint had been completely erased. After being refined by Ning Daoran in an instant, it had become one of his puppets.

And if one wants to give the puppet to Chen Yuzhu later, all one has to do is erase the mark on it and let Chen Yuzhu refine it again.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxuzi, thank you very much!"

Ning Daoran was sincerely grateful. He raised his hand and took out an ancient treasure from his storage bag, which was a whisk.

Although he had been cultivating for many years, he was still not particularly interested in Taoist things, so he said: "This whisk was obtained in the secret realm, so I will give it to you. I hope you will not despise it and accept it with joy!"

"this……"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Qingxuzi was startled: "Two months of repair is just a trivial matter. This ancient treasure is worth a lot..."

"You don't have to be polite, my friend. This is what you deserve."

Ning Daoran said, "Besides, I had already said clearly that I would give you an ancient treasure as a reward. Could it be that you want me to become a person who does not keep his word?"

"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Ning!"

Qingxuzi accepted the whisk and seemed to like it very much. He took the opportunity to put it between his arms and said, "I think the rumors about Fellow Daoist Ning are totally wrong. Fellow Daoist Ning is not that kind of person."

"oh?"

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "What did the outside world say about Ning?"

"The old demon Jianjia is cruel and tyrannical. He is a wicked man who kills people and robs people, betrays his teachers and ancestors, and leaves rivers of blood wherever he goes."

Qingxuzi smiled and said, "But these are all slanders against you by the immortal cultivation community of Sangyu Country. I now understand them clearly."

Ning Daoran said goodbye angrily with Ning Mingyu.

In the bamboo forest, the two walked side by side for a while.

"Mingyu..."

Ning Daoran turned around and glanced at her, saying, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as a late Jindan cultivator, it's not a good habit to just jump in when you see something exciting. Your father has high hopes for you. Ning asked fellow Daoist Qingxuzi to repair the puppet, and we both got what we needed. You said you've been watching the excitement for two months, is that right?"

"Brother, I was wrong."

Ning Mingyu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Why don't you go back to retreat if you are wrong?"

Ning Daoran said: "I hope that the next time I see you, you will already be a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. This time I will also be in seclusion for a period of time to thoroughly master the two formation inheritances I just got."

"good!"

Ning Mingyu vowed: "Just wait, I will definitely be a Nascent Soul when we meet again!"

evening.

Ning Daoran returned to the cave, said hello to the Jadeite Fairy, and then began a long period of seclusion.

There are three things to do during this retreat. The first is to nurture the treasures just obtained, the second is to refine the White Dragon Sea-Splitting Formation and the Taixu Returning Formation, and the third is still to study the mutation of the fairy vine.

…

In this way, outside the cave, spring went and winter came, the leaves turned green and then yellow, there were cool breezes in summer and falling snow in winter, and the bamboo forest on the mountain turned white again and again, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ning Daoran is 440 years old.

Inside the cave.

"come out!"

Ning Daoran, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a light shout, and suddenly a small Nascent Soul figure appeared above his head. It was his Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul. Around the Nascent Soul, a ray of fiery red light and a ray of golden light were lingering.

One is the Fire God Sword, and the other is the Earth Gold Tripod.

After five years of nurturing, these two treasures have become life-saving objects, and their power has naturally increased a lot.

At this time, the White Dragon Sea-Splitting Formation has been completely mastered, and there are even three sets of White Dragon Sea-Splitting Formation that have been refined in the storage bag. As for the Taixu Return to Formation, the inheritance of the formation has been basically mastered, but there is still some distance to refining the first Taixu Return to Formation. Ning Daoran still does not have enough confidence to refine it directly.

Moreover, the Taixu Guizhen Formation requires a huge variety of natural and natural treasures. Ning Daoran already has most of these materials, but some of them need to be collected again, and all of this takes time.

In addition, there was another major breakthrough during these five years.

The Eternal Immortal Vine and the Water Moon Divine Art finally merged successfully, allowing Ning Daoran to obtain the legendary water vine!
