Chapter 659 Spirit Fire Technique
Ning Daoran let out a long sigh, showing that he was somewhat tempted but had given up after an inner struggle, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I am just a casual cultivator. I really can't stand the constraints of the sect's rules, let alone the qualifications to be the master of a peak. This matter... Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist Zhang, I am afraid I am not worthy of it."
"In that case..."
The enthusiasm on Zhang Qinghe's face suddenly diminished a lot, and he said, "I am not in a position to force you to do anything. Let's put this matter aside for now. If you figure it out one day, I welcome you to visit me at any time. This matter is not urgent, not urgent."
"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Taoist."
Ning Daoran clasped his fists and said, "I am deeply ashamed!"
"You don't have to be so polite, fellow Daoist."
So, Zhang Qinghe exchanged a few more pleasantries, but after that he no longer had the desire to continue chatting, so he made up an excuse and left.
Ning Daoran looked at Zhang Qinghe's back and frowned slightly. The Zhang family was deeply rooted in the Divine Fire Sect. He had offended the master and disciple pair of Zhang Qinghe and Zhang Naiqian, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble in the future.
But there is no other way. For the opportunity in the Fiery Sun Abyss, one must endure until the moment the Abyss reopens.
…
Late at night, a beautiful figure came outside the cave.
"Guest Ning, are you in the cave? Long Xian'er greets you."
Finally, this beautiful sect leader is here!
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves, dispelled the restrictions of the cave, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Ning greets the Sect Master, please come in and serve tea."
"Thank you very much."
Long Xian'er walked into the cave with an elegant demeanor, holding up the hem of her fairy skirt.
Although she is the leader of the Divine Fire Sect, Long Xian'er has probably taken the Beauty Pill, so her appearance remains in her twenties and is extremely beautiful. No one knows how such a female fairy in the late Nascent Soul stage could fall in love with that old man Zhang Qinghe.
Ning Daoran led Long Xianer into the pavilion, and Xiaobai served her tea.
"The sect leader visited me so late at night. I wonder what's the matter?" Ning Daoran spoke first.
"Nothing serious."
Long Xian'er smiled and said, "It's just that I heard that Ning Keqing and Zhang Naiqian had a big fight before, and even injured Zhang Naiqian, so Xian'er came to visit, hoping to resolve this feud."
"I see."
"Guest Ning, Zhang Naiqian is gifted and his talent for cultivation is second to none among the younger generation of disciples in my Divine Fire Sect, so he is highly valued by the sect. He is also the direct disciple of my husband Zhang Qinghe, and you, Guest Ning, are a guest invited by Xian'er herself, so Xian'er does not want any irreconcilable conflicts between the two of you."
She blinked her eyes and said, "I also know that Zhang Naiqian is arrogant and domineering. He has always looked down on everyone and didn't take anyone seriously. It was he who came to your house to cause trouble and injured your maid, which led to the subsequent war."
As she spoke, she said quietly, "It's not Mr. Ning's fault, but Zhang Naiqian is my husband's disciple, and I can't blame him too much, so I can only mediate. I hope Mr. Ning won't bother with that brat, and just give me some face."
"What are you talking about, Master?"
Ning Daoran said, "Although Zhang Naiqian injured Xiaobai, I injured him more seriously. This matter makes me feel extremely guilty. Now that the sect master has personally mediated, I have no reason to hold a grudge. So please rest assured, the sect master, this grudge has been resolved for me. As long as Zhang Naiqian stops being aggressive in the future, I will naturally not do anything unnecessary."
"That would be great!"
Long Xian'er raised her hand and took out five jars of fine wine from her storage bag and placed them on the table. She smiled and said, "These are five jars of top-grade Fire God wine. They are my gift to you. I hope Mr. Ning will accept them!"
This is the wine that Long Xianer gave to apologize on behalf of Zhang Naiqian.
Ning Daoran put it into his storage ring without thinking, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you for the gift, Sect Master. I have nothing to give you, so I will take a basket of spiritual fruits and give it to you."
Saying that, he pinky-pink fingers.
In the Lingpu Cave, Big Dumb Deer, Little Heizi, Ning Xiaogui, and Xiaoqing turned into a few afterimages and flew by. In just three seconds, a bamboo basket was handed out from the Lingpu Cave. It was filled with various spiritual fruits, and they were all freshly picked, with thorns and dew.
"oh?"
Long Xian'er couldn't help but laugh. She could tell at a glance that these spiritual fruits were extremely good. Many of them were old fruits that were quite old. Their essence was very rich and they were very tonic for Nascent Soul cultivators.
"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
She accepted the fruit basket and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ning!"
"What are you talking about, Sect Master? These spiritual fruits of Ning pale in comparison with your five jars of top-grade Fire God Wine. They are almost not worth showing off. Sect Master, you are already satisfied that you don't despise me."
"These spiritual fruits are extremely good, how could Xian'er dislike them?"
Long Xian'er smiled with dimples.
Ning Daoran was speechless in his heart. It was such a pity that such a sunny and cheerful fairy married Zhang Qinghe.
"metropolitan."
After a while, Ning Daoran thought of another thing and said, "I have an unwelcome request..."
"oh?"
Long Xian'er looked over and said with a playful smile, "Ning Keqing is one of us, there's no need to be so restrained. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I had a confrontation with Zhang Naiqian last time, and I got a glimpse of the Divine Fire Art. I am very interested. I wonder if I have the honor to see the complete chapter of the Divine Fire Art? If it is inconvenient, it is fine."
"this……"
Long Xian'er pursed her red lips and said, "The Divine Fire Art has always been passed down only to disciples of the Divine Fire Sect. If Guest Ning wants to learn the Divine Fire Art... he needs to serve as an elder of our Divine Fire Sect."
"It was Ning who was abrupt."
Ning Daoran clasped his fists and said, "It doesn't matter. I am only slightly interested, but I am not desperate to obtain the Divine Fire Art."
"Um……"
Long Xian'er bit her lip, thoughtfully.
"Master, there is something I want to tell you but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"I've said it before, Mr. Ning is one of us, you can speak directly to me if you have anything to say."
"Okay, then I'll just speak frankly."
Ning Daoran frowned and said in a voice transmission: "Ning is just a guest official living in the Divine Fire Sect, an outsider, but in the past few years in the Divine Fire Sect, I have discovered a drawback of the Divine Fire Sect."
"What kind of problem?" Long Xian'er was surprised.
"Among the true disciples of the Divine Fire Sect, one is surnamed Long, and five are surnamed Zhang. I have also seen the list of the six peaks of the inner sect disciples. The Zhang disciples account for more than 50%, while the Long disciples are less than 20%. On the contrary, the number of Long disciples among the outer sect disciples is huge, far more than that of Zhang. Moreover, I have also checked their cultivation. Many outer sect disciples surnamed Long are qualified to join the inner sect but have been excluded. I am afraid that the sect master has never paid attention to these things, right?"
"this……"
Long Xian'er was stunned: "I have been in seclusion for many years, and most of the affairs in the sect are handled by Qinghe, so..."
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "I am an outsider after all, so I cannot speak out many things. But as the head of the Long family, you should do something. Fellow Daoist Zhang Qinghe takes great care of the children of the Zhang family, so you should also take care of the children of the Long family. This is what we call fairness."
"good."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Long Xian'er pursed her red lips and said, "I've kept it in mind. Thank you, Mr. Ning, for reminding me."
Not long after, Long Xian'er left.
…
Ning Daoran, on the contrary, lost interest in seclusion and felt a little irritated.
For the sake of Lieyang Tianyuan's opportunity, he was still somewhat bound by his own hands. Otherwise, based on his previous temper, he would have found a chance to get rid of Zhang Naiqian long ago. This man was violent and arrogant, and he deserved to be put to death. Keeping him alive would only bring harm to the world.
So, late at night he decided to go out for a walk.
As we walked, we arrived at the back mountain.
"My friend!"
Late at night, a familiar voice was heard from the gray forest.
Old dragon head! "Senior Long."
Ning Daoran looked over and found that the old dragon head, a great cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, didn't even have a house and was lying on a piece of bluestone. So he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ning is restless and can't sleep. Why isn't Brother Long asleep yet?"
"I'm so hungry that I can't sleep. My stomach is sticking to my back." The old dragon head held his stomach with a look of pain on his face.
"well……"
Ning Daoran was speechless: "Drink something?"
"good!"
The old dragon head suddenly sat up, with a flattering look on his face: "Thank you, my friend!"
Ning Daoran set up a ban to isolate everything here, then called out Lao Lu, fried a few dishes on the spot, and set up a barbecue rack to grill some lamb skewers for this old senior in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
As for food, they are all local specialties of Lingpu Cave.
A plate of stir-fried snail meat from the Emerald Spring was prepared, as well as a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers and stir-fried green beans. A few quick dishes plus a skewer of barbecue were the perfect match with fine wine late at night.
After three rounds of drinking, Lao Longtou's face was red from drinking.
"My dear friend, I have seen you come to the outskirts of the Abyss more than once. Are you sensing the rhythm of the fire element in the Fiery Sun Abyss?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran said, "Senior, you should also know that I have practiced the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art, intending to take the fire attribute as my path. This is also the reason why I came to the Star Sea Divine Realm. Practicing in the Fiery Sun Abyss may be an opportunity for me to break through."
"Indeed."
The old dragon head nodded and said, "By the way, I heard that you had a fight with Zhang Naiqian down the mountain? And you even crippled one of his arms. Is that true?"
"It is true."
Ning Daoran frowned: "Zhang Naiqian is very aggressive. Ning was forced to take action. There is nothing he can do."
“Hmph~~~”
The old dragon head smiled softly: "Although I am not close to you, I know your temper. If you fight with Zhang Naiqian, it must be Zhang Naiqian's fault."
"Senior, your words should be made clear!"
Ning Daoran raised his glass.
The old dragon head took the cup and drank it all, then said with a smile: "Since you have fought with Zhang Naiqian before, you must have learned the Divine Fire Art. Since you have practiced the Nine Suns Furnace Divine Art, I wonder what you think of this Divine Fire Art?"
"The Divine Fire Art is extremely magical, but whether it is Zhang Naiqian or others, it seems that they have not practiced this technique to the extreme, so they have not exerted the power of the Divine Fire Art."
"My friend is indeed an expert!"
The old dragon head laughed, took out a wrinkled notebook from his bosom, and said, "I also have a fire-related skill here, called Spirit Fire Technique. Although it is just a trivial skill, I hope you will try to practice it and learn something from it. Perhaps it can complement the Nine Sun Furnace Divine Technique."
"oh?"
Ning Daoran took the note, with a look of doubt on his face, and scanned it with the system. Immediately, with a "ding dong" sound, a new technique was recorded into the Jingxiu Time System.
