Chapter 77: Soul Searching with Bones (Second update! Please subscribe first and give me monthly votes!!)

Deep in the Dragon Valley, there are clouds and mist.

A series of buildings with white walls and black tiles stand in the mountains, giving them a fairy-like aura.

The Luo family is one of the foundation-building families in Shanyang County. It is said that the ancestor is a great cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building.

Ning Daoran brought the big stupid deer and followed the servant in the middle stage of Qi Refining down from the green bamboo leaves and stepped into the ancestral home of the Luo family, which was a foundation-building family.

In the ancestral house, an old man in a gray gown walked out. Although he was old, he was energetic, and his eyes were full of brilliance. He was the ancestor of the Luo family.

When the old ancestor saw Ning Daoran "hostage" the Luo family cultivator, a look of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

"Ning Daoran from the Chaos Sect, nice to meet you, Daoist Brother Luo."

"So he's a friend of the Chaos Sect."

The Luo Family Patriarch's face turned cold: "Your clan is indeed a famous and large clan. The way you do things is different. You actually sent my Luo Family cultivators here directly. I really admire you."

"I think you must have misunderstood."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "To be honest, Longxiang Village is my ancestral home. I just returned to my hometown after building my foundation recently. I found that your family had invested in Longxiang Village and collected a certain amount of tribute from Longxiang Village every year."

"Is this true?"

The Luo family ancestor's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the family steward beside him and asked, "Is Longxiang Village also on the list?"

"Report to the ancestor, I am here!"

"I see……"

The Luo Family Patriarch smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, since you are an elder of the Primal Chaos Sect, you must have learned a unique martial art of the Primal Chaos Sect. I dare to ask, which one is it?"

"True Yang Furnace Technique."

"It's actually this technique..."

The Luo family ancestor's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I am also practicing a fire-attributed technique. I wonder if you would like to learn from me. I really want to see the charm of the Chaos Sect's unique skills."

"I still have to do it once, anyway..."

Ning Daoran sighed. It turned out that if you don’t show some strength, others will not take you seriously.

In the courtyard, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves.

A hint of sternness flashed across the eyes of the Luo family's ancestor, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, a fire-attributed spiritual pressure of the middle stage of foundation building strength enveloped him.

The opponent came at him quickly, but Ning Daoran responded calmly. He lightly raised his foot and stepped forward. Immediately, the True Yang Furnace Art began to run. The floor tiles under his feet crackled and shattered, and a stronger spiritual pressure pushed the opponent's spiritual pressure back.

The sound of subtle spiritual pressure exploding continued to ring in the air. In the distance, a group of Luo family monks shook their bodies and kept retreating, not daring to approach the battle area between the two foundation-building monks.

In just a moment, the perfect level of True Yang Furnace Art suddenly appeared, crushing the opponent instantly!

“Dengdengdeng…”

The Luo family ancestor took several steps back, his face pale.

He originally thought that he was in the middle stage of foundation building and could crush Ning Daoran, but he didn't expect that the other party's foundation building was so profound that his mana strength was even stronger than his! In fact, the Luo family ancestor had an intuition just now that if the other party wanted to, he would have a chance to kill him directly in the instant just now.

For a moment, a chill ran down the back of the Luo family ancestor.

This person must not be offended!

"As expected of a Chaos Sect senior cultivator, I admire you. Brother Ning, please have some tea in the living room."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

After sitting down, both of them had subtle changes in their mentality.

"Fellow Daoist Luo."

Ning Daoran said: "I was born in a humble family. Before I established my foundation, it was your family that cared for and protected my hometown. I am grateful to you."

As he spoke, he gently patted the storage bag and took out an eight-hundred-year-old True Essence Grass, which was the main ingredient for refining the True Essence Pill for the advanced cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building. "Ning was lucky enough to get a magical medicine during one of his travels. I believe it will be useful to you, fellow Taoist. Please accept it."

"ah?"

The Luo Family Patriarch was stunned: "Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. I am ashamed. How can I accept such a valuable gift from you?"

"You are welcome, fellow Taoist. I am practicing in a distant place. I will have to trouble you to take care of my hometown in the future."

"In that case..."

The Luo family ancestor accepted the gift and said to the family steward beside him: "From now on, Longxiang Village will be exempted from all tributes. Every year, a certain amount of blood and qi pills will be drawn from the family inventory and sent to Longxiang Village.

In addition, Longxiang Village’s affairs will be decided by them from now on, and outsiders like us are not allowed to interfere. We will send family monks to patrol the area around Longxiang Village every month to ensure that the village is not attacked by monsters. "

"Yes, ancestor!"

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "In that case, I will not stay any longer. May the green mountains and rivers remain forever. I wish you a long and prosperous journey to immortality. I will take my leave now."

"Farewell, Brother Ning!"

After watching Ning Daoran disappear into a flash of light, the Luo family members all had rather subtle expressions.

The ancestor of the Luo family was secretly sweating profusely. Just now, the path of cultivating immortals for the entire family was almost cut off.

He sighed, fortunately he did not act impulsively, otherwise it would be difficult to remedy the situation.

The other party not only has extremely strong cultivation, but is also young and has just established his foundation not long ago.

With a quick glance with his spiritual sense, the ancestor of the Luo family discovered that the lifespan of this young foundation-building cultivator was actually a bit frightening.

But he only has less than fifty years to live. Once his life is over, the Luo family will no longer have the qualifications to have a dialogue with the other party on an equal footing.

Being able to establish a good relationship with this person is undoubtedly a blessing for the Luo family! ...

Longxiang Village.

Ning Daoran and Dabenlu paid homage to their parents, and then paid homage to the old patriarch and the White Widow with Xiao Hehua and Zhou Tiezhu.

afternoon.

Ning Daoran rode the Green Bamboo Leaf, with Zhou Tiezhu on the left and Xiao Hehua on the right. The three of them each held a bow and arrow and went into the mountains to hunt.

“Ahhhh~~~”

The big stupid deer galloped across the ground, driving the prey for the three people.

Being in charge during the foundation-building period will naturally bring a lot of rewards.

When he returned to the martial arts gym in the evening, Ning Daoran's two storage bags were already filled with prey, including various hares, badgers, wild boars, etc.

This batch of mountain products is enough to keep the people in the martial arts school fed for a long time.

Ning Daoran personally cooked dinner for everyone together with Dabenlu.

After the meal, he picked up the Qinglong Spear and demonstrated the mastery level of the Silver Dragon Spear Technique in the yard, which made a group of disciples and apprentices applaud. No one had expected that a cultivator of immortality could also perform martial arts.

Zhou Tiezhu and Xiao Hehua's eyes also lit up.

"Brother Ning..."

"No need to say more."

Ning Daoran took out a copy of the Silver Dragon Spear Technique that he had copied himself from his bosom and said, "I have copied this set of Silver Dragon Spear Technique secrets and also written down a lot of thoughts and notes. Xiao Hehua, you copy one and give it to Xiao Tiezhu. In the future, you should supervise each other's practice and never slack off in your cultivation."

"good!"

Little Lotus smiled and nodded.

She picked up the secret book, then showed a hint of reluctance, and took Ning Daoran's hand: "Brother Ning, are you leaving?"

"Um."

Ning Daoran said, "I am a cultivator, so I will naturally not stay in the secular world for too long. Moreover, there is no time limit for cultivation in the mountains. A few years or even decades will pass in the blink of an eye. I really don't know when I will come to see you next time."

Suddenly, Xiao Hehua's eyes turned slightly red.

"Brother Ning, do you still remember what I said when I was a child?" She pursed her lips.

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

"You said so many things when you were little, how can I remember them all?"

Ning Daoran turned around, feeling a little uncomfortable.

…

early morning.

Before dawn, Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer had already left quietly.

“Ahhh~~”

Outside the village, the big stupid deer called out softly, it was reluctant to leave everyone.

"The immortals and the mortals are separated, and we have to let go even if we are reluctant."

Ning Daoran also looked back at the village and said softly, "Old Deer, we can only move forward. If we keep looking back, it will only increase our pain."

The big stupid deer nudged his shoulder.

"Let's go back to Chaos Sect. Chen Weimo and Xiao Heizi are still waiting for us!"

“Ahhhh~~”

When Chen Weimo and Xiao Heizi were mentioned, Dabenlu's sadness was alleviated a lot.

The green bamboo leaves soared up, passing through countless blue clouds.

…

Qiongbi Peak.

"Uncle, you're back!"

Chen Weimo made tea for the man and the deer, and then began to tell them what had happened in the sect in the past few days.

The biggest event was that Liu Ruyan left the Chaos Sect.

Perhaps because of her guilt towards Lin Sheng, Liu Ruyan's practice has not been able to successfully break through the bottleneck, and she has never been ready to build a foundation, so she decided to leave Chaos Sect and return to the Liu family to practice.

This move might be a good thing for both her and Lin Sheng.

…

After that, Ning Daoran began to prepare for another thing.

Explore the ancient monks’ caves.

At the beginning, Master Zi Guang, Ning Jiaojiao and others discovered the cave. According to Master Zi Guang's original plan, they wanted to kill Ning Daoran and Wang Chongyan outside the restriction, and then start exploring the ancient cultivator's cave.

Unfortunately, the boat capsized at the first step.

Now, the ancient monk's cave is still there under the cover of restrictions. Ning Daoran sent a tit to confirm this.

It is said that the ancient cultivator is in the late stage of foundation building. So with Ning Daoran's current strength, the risk of exploring this ancient cultivator's cave alone will be greatly reduced. Moreover, he has a substitute paper man, so the problem will not be too big.

The next day.

Ning Daoran took the big stupid deer and a bunch of substitute paper dolls out and headed straight for the small secret realm.

We arrived at the secret realm before noon.

All traces of Master Zi Guang, Ning Jiaojiao, Zhu Ya and others had long since returned to dust. Today, this piece of woodland is growing wildly again, with dense forests and vines everywhere.

"open!"

Ning Daoran scanned the area with his spiritual sense again and again, and after confirming that there was no one around, he raised his hand and activated the eleventh level of the Evergreen Art. Immediately, the surging magic power pushed across the outer restrictions, forcing them open.

Inside, there is an ancient monk's cave and many Liuhe stones on the rock wall.

“Ahhh~~~”

The big stupid deer shouted, reminding people that the secret realm was dangerous and they must be careful.

"Know."

Ning Daoran raised his hand and threw out five paper people. They were all ordinary paper people made from fine talisman paper. They transformed into the shapes of five young men and women and rushed into the secret realm.

Not long after, the two secret restrictions in the cave were triggered, and the three paper figures turned to ashes.

Ning Daoran continued to throw out three more cards to supplement, maintaining the lineup of five paper monks exploring the secret realm.

After a cup of tea.

A female paper cultivator walked out, holding a pile of heavy Liuhe stones in her arms.

Another young male cultivator walked out, holding two broken spiritual weapons in his hands. Perhaps because it had been too long, the two spiritual weapons were severely corroded by time and could no longer be used.

There is still a little difference from the estimate.

Ning Daoran was a little disappointed. This ancient cultivator in the late stage of foundation building existed too long ago and almost nothing valuable was left behind.

He decided to go into the secret realm and take a look himself.

After uttering a spell, he successfully performed the wood escape and followed a vine into the cave. The cave was not big, and a skeleton was sitting inside. It was the ancient cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

"Is it impossible that there is no profit left for me?"

Ning Daoran waved his hand lightly and searched the soul of the skeleton directly!
