Chapter 78 Qingyun Secret Realm (Third update! Please give me a monthly ticket and first order!!)
After building the foundation, Ning Daoran's spiritual awareness grew by at least twice as much.
In addition, the eleventh level of the Evergreen Art and the practice of the Soul Searching Technique both have the effect of strengthening his spiritual consciousness, so at this time his spiritual consciousness strength is not inferior to that of the Perfect Foundation Establishment, and may even be comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core! In addition, with the mysteriousness of the Return to Nature Soul Searching Technique, perhaps he can really search out something.
…
This ancient monk's cave was hidden so well that the restrictions had not been broken for thousands of years, so the remaining soul of the ancient monk might still be preserved.
Sure enough, under the control of the powerful soul-searching technique, wisps of gray residual light continued to gather and eventually condensed into the appearance of an old monk. His image was extremely blurry and his face could not be seen at all.
"Where am I..."
“I am only one step away from refining the formation I have always dreamed of…”
"It's a pity that God won't give me longevity. I am really just a little bit away from death!"
"The Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation is my lifelong dream. I am just one step away from successfully refining it. I am unwilling to give up..."
Ning Daoran was speechless.
This old monk lived for too long. He was actually a monk from five thousand years ago. It is really too long ago.
Moreover, only a few remnants of his soul were left, and it was difficult to find useful information.
As for the name "Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation", Ning Daoran had seen it in a book on formations. It was said to be a formation from ancient times and its inheritance had long been cut off.
"so……"
He looked at the remnant soul and asked, "Where is the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation?"
"You bastard!"
The remnant soul immediately shouted: "Are you trying to steal my inheritance?"
Ning Daoran immediately strengthened his soul-searching power and finally found out that the formation inheritance was in a hidden mechanism in the cave.
He slapped out a paper figure, which turned into a graceful female cultivator. She stepped forward and pressed a mechanical pattern on the wall. Suddenly, a blood-colored restriction was triggered, crushing the paper figure into pieces! Ning Daoran slapped out a second paper figure and took out a storage bag from the mechanism.
Unfortunately, this storage bag is too old and has been corroded.
However, inside the storage bag, there is another storage bag.
As usual, this one was rotten, but there was actually another one in it! Ning Daoran was shocked. This person actually cherished the inheritance of this array so much that he put seven or eight layers of storage bags on it! Finally, a jade slip was found in a red storage bag. Under the multiple protections of the storage bag, this jade slip actually escaped the erosion of time and preserved a heritage.
“Oh shit…”
Ning Daoran was overjoyed. This was a really good thing! The Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation was a second-level superior formation inheritance! According to the records in the jade slip, as long as the formation master was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, there was a chance to upgrade this formation to a third-level formation!
"call……"
Ning Daoran took a deep breath. He didn't have high expectations at first. He just came here to get some free money. But he didn't expect to find something good in this inconspicuous ancient monk's cave! He quickly put the jade slip into his storage bag and left quietly with the big stupid deer and a bunch of paper figures.
…
Half a month later, Qiongbi Peak.
Ning Daoran came out of retreat, wearing a dark blue sect uniform that looked spotless, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. After half a month, he finally comprehended the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation and had a deeper understanding of it.
The so-called Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation is actually a killing formation that is a perfect combination of magic weapon and formation.
It is not enough to have only the formation. One also needs to refine a set of complementary flying swords. Only when they cooperate with each other in harmony can the power of this sword formation be truly unleashed.
According to the records in the jade slips.
A true third-order Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation requires the refining of a set of golden bamboo swords to work with it.
The main material for refining the Golden Bamboo Sword is the Golden Silk Bamboo, which is known as one of the ten great spiritual bamboos. This Golden Silk Bamboo is extremely rare and is said to have long been extinct. Moreover, it takes ten thousand years of Golden Silk Bamboo to refine a genuine Golden Bamboo Sword.
This set of magic weapons is surprisingly difficult!
First of all, golden bamboo itself is difficult to obtain, and even information about it is difficult to obtain.
Secondly, even if he got the golden bamboo, with Ning Daoran's current growth rate of the Holy Spirit of Plants, it would take him a hundred years to grow the bamboo. This is truly a huge and long plan of a hundred years!
But according to the jade slips, once the third-level water cloud gold bamboo sword formation is really refined, the flying sword refined by the ten thousand year golden bamboo will have its own Gengjin essence, and its killing power is unparalleled in the world! If it is refined, the foundation building kills the golden elixir, the golden elixir kills the Yuanying, and the Yuanying kills the Shenhua. It is really not a dream to cross the level and reverse the attack! Ning Daoran suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.
Let’s not think about golden bamboo for the time being. According to the records in the jade slips, there is another material that can be used as a substitute for golden bamboo.
Silver Moon Bamboo, a second-level material.
The Silver Moon Flying Sword made from Silver Moon Bamboo can also be used in conjunction with the second-order Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation to form a sword formation with extremely strong killing power.
Apart from other things, if this sword formation is truly refined, it will be enough for Ning Daoran to use during the foundation-building period, and he will be able to fight even if he encounters a golden elixir.
Go down the mountain and visit Qingxiefang.
…
Huanglongfang Market, Qingxiefang.
On an autumn afternoon, Chen Ping'er, holding a Luo fan, had a slightly lazy look on her pretty face. The moment she saw Ning Daoran, she smiled: "Fellow Daoist Ning... Oh no, I should call you Senior Ning now!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
Ning Daoran smiled slightly: "You and I have known each other for many years, so let's just stick to it and don't call me senior."
"good!"
Chen Ping'er smiled dimple-like, "If that's the case, then I'm overstepping my authority. From now on, I'll still call you Fellow Daoist Ning."
"Um."
Ning Daoran nodded: "I came down the mountain this time to buy some materials. Does Brother Chen have any information about golden bamboo?"
"Golden bamboo?"
Chen Ping'er's beautiful eyes widened. "Golden Bamboo ranks third among the ten great spiritual bamboos. How can our Qingxiefang have such a magical item? Not to mention the branch, even the head office can't have it."
“I see…”
Ning Daoran said, "Okay, then does your shop have materials like Silver Moon Bamboo?"
"There is Silver Moon Bamboo, but it is not an adult second-level Silver Moon Bamboo, but a section of Silver Moon Bamboo root. Daoist friend, you know that this kind of gold-attributed material is a rare treasure for refining flying swords. All sword cultivators in the world are eager to get it, and adult Silver Moon Bamboo has always been a hot commodity."
"Only bamboo roots?"
Ning Daoran frowned and said, "Alright, give me a cheap price and I'll buy it to study it."
"Can."
Not long after, Chen Ping'er took over an exquisite box from a steward, which contained a piece of silver bamboo root, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Ning, this piece of Silver Moon Bamboo root is three feet long, with six tender buds on it. It is expected to grow six Silver Moon Bamboos. Since Fellow Daoist Ning is an old customer, I will give you 80% of the price, which is 240 spirit stones."
"good."
Ning Daoran took out the spirit stone and put the Silver Moon Bamboo into the storage bag.
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When he was about to leave, a voice came from the direction of the box next to him.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"Um?"
Ning Daoran turned around and saw an old man in a fiery red robe, exuding the aura of a middle-stage foundation building stage.
There are many hidden talents in Huanglongfang City recently!
"Who are you, fellow Taoist?" Ning Daoran asked with a smile.
"This is Senior Huo, and he's also a regular customer of Qingxiefang." Chen Ping'er introduced with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Senior Huo..."
The old man smiled and said, "This fellow Taoist and I are both at the foundation-building stage, so we can just call you Fire Old Ghost. I was born with a hot temper and I have a fourth-grade fire spirit root, so people call me Fire Old Ghost."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Huo."
Ning Daoran smiled and nodded. The other party was being modest, but he couldn't go beyond that.
After all, he is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, one level higher than himself, so he should still be given some face.
"Just now I heard from you and Miss Chen that they wanted to find out the whereabouts of Jin Sizhu. Coincidentally, I happen to have some news about Jin Sizhu. I wonder if you are interested?"
"oh?"
Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'd like to hear more details!"
"In that case, let's talk in the box?"
"good."
In the box, Huo Laogui raised his hand and set up several restrictions, and Ning Daoran also set up a few restrictions.
"I didn't expect that Ning Daoran is actually a formation master. I admire him!" Old Ghost Huo continued to greet.
"You are too kind, fellow Taoist."
Ning Daoran remained calm and said, "I wonder where the Jinsizhu you mentioned is...?"
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Master Qingyun?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
Ning Daoran said, "The name of this senior is recorded in the Qingzhou Immortal Cultivation Records. He is said to be an extremely powerful golden elixir sword cultivator. Unfortunately, he failed to condense his infant soul, and ultimately chose the tragic path of death by arms when his family was facing a crisis."
"That's right."
Huo Laogui said: "This Qingyun Zhenren was a great monk more than a thousand years ago. It is said that he once obtained a piece of golden bamboo root a year before his death.
This bamboo root was planted in the secret realm of his cave, which is called Qingyun Secret Realm. Recently, the forbidden power of the secret realm is about to weaken to its weakest stage. "
"As expected, it is another secret place..."
Ning Daoran was speechless, thinking that getting the high-quality materials comfortably was something that could probably only happen in dreams.
"oh?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the Qingyun Secret Realm?"
"Exactly."
Huo Laogui said: "I am a casual cultivator, wandering around Qingzhou, Ningzhou, and Huangzhou. This time I stayed in Shanyang County of Qingzhou for such a long time just to wait for the opening of this Qingyun Secret Realm."
"I believe you have already arranged to travel with me. May I know who the other person is? Also, what is their realm? What is their character like? Please tell me clearly."
"Okay, fellow Taoist, I am happy too."
Huo Laogui said in a deep voice: "Also traveling with us are the ancestor of the Lingnan Wang family, who is in the late stage of foundation building, Chen Wu, a sword cultivator from the Qiyun Sword Sect, who is in the early stage of foundation building, and Xin Lei, a second-level talisman master, who is in the early stage of foundation building.
These three Taoist friends are all well-known people. Together with you and I who have made some progress in formation, I believe we will gain something if we enter the Qingyun Secret Realm."
"OK."
Ning Daoran said, "I can join, but if we really find the bamboo roots of the golden bamboo, the bamboo roots will belong to me, and I don't need anything else. Daoist friend, do you think this is feasible?"
"Can!"
Huo Laogui said: "I will send a sound transmission note to the other people right away. We will gather here in five days and go to Qingyun Secret Realm together!"
