Chapter 654: Fight

Ning Daoran frowned. This true disciple in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was really too arrogant. He originally thought that Long Jiuyu was domineering and particularly annoying, but now it seems that this person was the truly annoying true disciple.

"snort……"

Ning Daoran smiled calmly and ignored her. He just smiled at the beautiful governor and said, "Fairy Xu, can you take me to the area where talismans are sold? I want to buy some high-level talismans."

"good!"

The beautiful governor smiled and nodded: "Senior Ning, please follow me!"

The true disciple had a sinister look in his eyes and glared at Ning Daoran's back fiercely, but he did not attack him.

In the distance, the abbot Lu Qinglong was watching from afar, but his palms were sweating.

The identities of these two people are very unusual. One is the number one in the true teachings, and the other is a new guest official with unfathomable strength. If a fight breaks out in Amaterasu City... it will inevitably be a troublesome matter.

"Master Lu."

But at this moment, Ning Daoran's voice sounded in Lu Qinglong's ears: "This person is so arrogant, but I don't know who he is? Although Ning is a guest official of the Divine Fire Sect, I have always been in seclusion in the cave and rarely go out, so I know very little about the true disciples of the Divine Fire Sect."

"Senior Ning, you may not know that this person is the number one disciple of the Divine Fire Sect, and is far ahead of the other five disciples. He is the direct disciple of the Grand Elder... Oh no, the Guest Elder Zhang Qinghe."

Lu Qinglong said: "Zhang Naiqian's current cultivation level is the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He is also the only one among the younger generation of disciples who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. In addition, he has a first-grade fire spirit root and has practiced the Divine Fire Art to perfection. Therefore, his status in the Divine Fire Sect is extremely high. Many people even think that he is the candidate for the next sect leader."

"oh?"

Ning Daoran frowned and said, "But as far as I know, the Divine Fire Sect has always had a cultivator with the surname Long as the sect master, and this lineage has been passed down until now. Even though this generation of young cultivators with the surname Long is lacking in talent, the female cultivator Long Xian'er eventually became the sect master. Will the next sect master make an exception?"

“Ahem…”

Lu Qinglong felt that he had revealed too much. As the owner of Amaterasu Market, a veteran businessman with hundreds of years of experience, he certainly knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. He smiled and said, "These... I am an outsider after all, so I don't know much. Since Senior Ning is a guest of the Divine Fire Sect, you can ask around in the sect and you will naturally know some secrets that I don't know."

"Whatever."

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "I still have to thank Master Lu for telling me these things."

"Senior Ning."

Lu Qinglong said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but Senior Ning was very wise not to have a falling out or even a fight with Zhang Naiqian. Although Zhang Naiqian is used to being bossy, he is indeed someone that Senior Ning cannot afford to offend. It is best not to have contact with him, otherwise it will only lead to trouble."

"Ning, I understand. Thank you, Brother Lu, for reminding me!"

"You're welcome, senior!"

…

A few days later.

In the Lingpu Cave, Ning Daoran stood up.

After several days of nourishment by the Eternal Green Art, the Hunyuan Flower that had been picked for many years finally regained its vitality. It was now planted in the fertile soil next to the Tianming Fruit, took root, sprouted new buds, and began to thrive again.

He clapped his hands and said, "Xiaobai, I plan to go to Lieyang Tianyuan."

"oh?"

Xiao Bai was surprised and asked, "Master, are you planning to sneak into Lieyang Tianyuan to practice?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Ning has always been upright. How could I do such a sneaky thing?"

He coughed and said, "Besides, the active period of the surging fire in the Fiery Sun Abyss will be eighteen years later. Even if I sneak in now, it may be counterproductive. I just want to use my spiritual sense to explore the Fiery Sun Abyss and get familiar with the rhythm of the breath and some spatial rules in this abyss first, so as to avoid being in a hurry when I enter the abyss."

"You are absolutely right, sir!"

Xiaobai smiled and nodded.

So, Ning Daoran left the cave and headed straight for the Fiery Sun Abyss.

Lieyang Tianyuan is located in the back mountain of Shenhuo Sect. It is heavily guarded, with many inner sect disciples guarding the periphery. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, but Ning Daoran has a guest token, so he made an excuse to go for a stroll in the back mountain and thus passed the first layer of defense.

Afternoon.

The forest was filled with the smell of sun drying, and wild roses were everywhere with a fragrant aroma. There were also some unknown red fruits on the ground, and the scent made people feel relaxed and happy.

Ning Daoran strolled in the mountains, releasing his Nascent Soul consciousness to investigate everything around him.

Soon after, he slowly stopped.

"Fellow Daoist, you have followed me for so long, why don't you show yourself and meet me?"

"Humph, you are quite alert!"

Behind him, a figure rushed out of the void crack like a thunder. It was a person who moved from several miles away. He was wearing the uniform of a true disciple. It turned out to be the number one true disciple Zhang Naiqian who I met a few days ago! "I've been watching you for a long time."

Zhang Naiqian's eyes were cold and stern: "Keqing Ning, what are you doing in the back mountain?"

"Look everywhere."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "I am a guest official of the Divine Fire Sect, and this back mountain is not a forbidden area. I am attracted by the beautiful scenery of the back mountain of the Divine Fire Sect, so I am here to have fun. Is it anyone's business, Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

"I don't care about your words!"

Zhang Naiqian suddenly raised his arms, and wisps of flames rose from his body. His eyes were full of fierceness, and he sneered, "Keqing Ning, I heard that you fought your way from the first floor of the Divine Fire Tower to the seventy-second floor in one go, and directly surpassed that loser Long Jiuyu. This matter has spread like wildfire in the sect. I guess Keqing Ning is also a capable person..."

He paused, then smiled and said, "I wonder if Guest Ning has the courage to compete with me, Zhang Naiqian? Let me weigh you and see how much you are capable of. Are you really worthy of being a guest of my Divine Fire Sect?"

"oh?"

Ning Daoran smiled calmly: "The third rule of the Divine Fire Sect prohibits private fighting between disciples. Disciples who harm each other will be punished with death, regardless of the reason!"

He smiled slightly and said, "As a guest official, I must abide by the sect's rules. If you want to spar with me, please go find someone else. I am afraid that I might accidentally kill you and break the sect's rules."

"Are you looking for death?!"

Zhang Naiqian's eyes were cold: "Ning Daoran, whether you are willing or not, I must fight you today!"

"Oh? Really?"

Ning Daoran smiled, twisted his body, and disappeared on the spot.

"you……"

Zhang Naiqian was shocked and quickly slapped Ning Daoran where he was. Immediately, the ground cracked and wisps of flames spewed out from the ground.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Ning Daoran's breath completely disappeared. Even though Zhang Naiqian spread his spiritual sense over dozens of miles and searched repeatedly, he still couldn't find any clues.

"How is it possible... How is it possible?"

Zhang Naiqian was shocked: "What kind of method is this to suppress his breath?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

Back mountain, the other side.

Ning Daoran floated out of the void and completely restrained his breath.

He raised his head and looked upwards. The top of the main peak of the back mountain was a volcano with clouds and smoke rising up. It was the entrance to the Fiery Sun Abyss.

It is said that the formation of Lieyang Tianyuan was caused by the impact of extraterrestrial sparks, and it has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Until tens of thousands of years ago, a monk named Long discovered that there was a kind of "cosmic spark" energy in the core fire deep in the crater of this volcano. He then confined it and founded the Divine Fire Sect here.

The fire at the core of the earth in the scorching sun abyss is not an ordinary fire, but a kind of fire from outer space. This is where the real opportunity lies.

Therefore, according to Ning Daoran's speculation, the meteorite that hit the Eastern Wilderness's immortal world was extremely huge, and it might have come from the wreckage of a certain stellar fragment, otherwise it would not have been possible for it to continue to exist for so many years.

If this is the inference...

Could it be that the fire in the earth's core is still undergoing nuclear fusion? Just like the sun? This is too scary.

but……

My body is that of a Nascent Soul, so it is naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary person. Even if there is radiation, I can withstand it.

This reminded Ning Daoran of the nuclear pollution in Japan. If he could travel back in time and eat seafood contaminated by nuclear weapons in Japan with his Nascent Soul body, he might not be afraid at all, right? Thinking of this, he almost laughed out loud.

Just as he was daydreaming, a slovenly old man was lying cross-legged on a huge rock in the mountains. He glanced over and said, "My friend, why are you staring at the abyss for so long?"

"Um?"

Ning Daoran turned around and looked over.

In the back mountain of the Divine Fire Sect, there was an unkempt old man...

He was naturally not stupid enough to think that this man was an ordinary person. However, after scanning him with his Nascent Soul consciousness, the aura of the old man was completely restrained, and he could not even tell that he was a cultivator.

Either the other party is really a mortal, or his means of concealing his breath are extremely extraordinary.

"Who are you?" Ning Daoran asked.

"Should I be asking you?"

The old man grinned and said, "Who are you? Why did you come to the back mountain of my Divine Fire Sect? I have never seen you before."

"My name is Ning Daoran, and I am the new guest official of the Divine Fire Sect."

Ning Daoran asked with a smile: "Who is the senior? Can you tell me?"

"This old man... this old man is a leisurely person."

The old man laughed, and seemed quite satisfied with his answer. He said, "My friend, did you bring any food? I have been sleeping for several months and I am starving."

"Whatever."

Ning Daoran patted the Lingpu Cave Heaven and said, "Old Deer, come out and roast a spiritual sheep for this senior."

“Ahhh~~~”

The big stupid deer rushed out with a barbecue grill, and immediately started to skillfully kill and barbecue the sheep, with an incredibly high level of professionalism.

Not long after, a spiritual sheep was roasted and the fragrance filled the air.

The old man took out a small knife and cut the meat and started eating. His mouth was full of oil. "Good... It tastes good. Your Yuanying stage spirit deer is quite good. It actually has such a trick!"

Ning Daoran threw a jar of wine over and said, "Senior, you don't have to be polite. Eat and drink with confidence. I have plenty more."

So, after the old man had eaten his fill, Ning Daoran sat on a stone beside him, crossed his legs, and said, "Senior, according to those vernacular novels circulating in the martial arts world, after eating and drinking, can you grant me some opportunities, teach me some punches and kicks, or teach me the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

"No!"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "But I really want to fight with you, kid!"

Ning Daoran slapped his thigh angrily: "You're going to beat the cook after dinner, right?"
