Chapter 84 Refining the Chilong Cauldron (9th update! Please subscribe first!)
Ning Daoran's heartbeat accelerated! With a light sweep of his spiritual sense, he knew that the gains from entering the Qingyun Secret Realm this time were extremely rich.
Those seeds were the seeds of the colorful flower.
There is still a little vitality in the seeds. I believe they will take root and sprout if nurtured with the Rain-Transforming Technique.
As for that piece of pitch-black bamboo root, although Ning Daoran was not quite sure and did not find any signs of life when he scanned it with his spiritual sense, he could basically confirm that this piece of bamboo root was most likely a piece of golden bamboo root.
Who is True Man Qingyun? He is the golden elixir that he achieved enlightenment more than a thousand years ago.
During this long thousand years, it is quite reasonable that the vitality of the golden bamboo roots that he treasured dissipated.
But Ning Daoran still held a little hope in his heart. Perhaps if he used the eleventh level of the Evergreen Technique to nourish it, there would be a certain chance that the golden bamboo root would sprout again.
Put it in the storage bag first.
There was still some time before the secret realm closed, so Ning Daoran was not in a hurry to leave.
He sent out all the paper figures to search the secret realm, and indeed, he harvested a few spiritual herbs again. Although their value could not be compared with the "magic medicine" like the Rainbow Flower, it was also good.
There is still a lot of space for planting in Lingpu Cave. The more nourishing the spiritual energy is, the more vigorous it becomes, so naturally the more spiritual medicines there are, the better.
"Old deer, go home."
Ning Daoran was satisfied. He waved his hand and put a group of paper figures into his sleeves. Then, under the escort of three top-level paper figures, he used earth and wood escape techniques to return to the entrance of the secret realm.
After leaving the secret realm, an old paper monk rode the green bamboo leaf back to the sect, while Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer hid in the Lingpu Cave on the old monk's waist to avoid any accidents on the way back.
…
Qiongbi Peak, underground secret room in courtyard No. 77.
Inside Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran spent a small amount of time practicing and cultivated the Huayu Jue to the seventh level.
Afterwards, using the power of the seventh level of the Rain-Transforming Technique to plant the seeds of the colorful flower in a fertile spiritual field.
Although he was still far from forming an elixir, it was always a good idea to plan ahead. Besides, the colorful flower would need to have medicinal properties for at least ten thousand years before it could be used to make the Luochen Pill.
Even if we plant it now, it will take a hundred years for it to be useful as medicine.
Ning Daoran opened a well in Lingpu Cave and dug a small pond beside the well. He then used the clear and sweet well water as nutrients to nourish the piece of golden bamboo root that looked like charred wood.
He sat aside, his Changqing Jue magic power circulating throughout his body, continuously flowing into the small pond and beginning to continuously nourish the golden bamboo.
A few days later.
The golden bamboo did not change at all, and one end of it was even a little moldy from being soaked in water for too long.
"I'm... "
Ning Daoran let out a desperate cry.
There is no other way, you still need to spend time every day to nourish yourself with the Evergreen Secret.
Half a day later, a sound transmission note appeared in the small cloud and mist formation.
After letting him in, he found that it was Chen Ping'er from Qingxiefang who sent him a message: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ning has returned... I am a little worried, so please return the message."
I have to say that this talented woman from Qingxiefang is really good at dealing with people and has a good grasp of her character.
Ning Daoran naturally didn't think that Chen Ping'er had taken a fancy to him. There were so many young and handsome men active in Huanglongfang Market every day, and in terms of looks, many of them were better than him who didn't care about his appearance.
In fact, it would not be bad for Ning Daoran to dress up, as he would naturally have a bit of an immortal aura, but he doesn't dress up.
Looking at the sound transmission talisman, Ning Daoran frowned, and finally decided to respond a little and make up some lies to get past Chen Ping'er first.
“Thank you for your concern, I have returned a few days ago. Due to my low level of cultivation, I did not go deep into the secret realm. I only harvested a few spiritual herbs on the periphery and returned.
I am not sure what happened to Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Huo, and the others afterwards, and whether they obtained the opportunity in the Qingyun Secret Realm."
After saying that, he put the sound transmission note back.
Not long after, the sound transmission note flew back again, bringing Chen Ping'er's relieved smile: "Fellow Daoist Ning, just return safely, then Ping'er will not disturb your cultivation."
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and felt that a woman like Chen Ping'er was really amazing. She handled every detail very well and made people feel very emotional. If it were in his previous life, this kind of woman would be very suitable to be a girlfriend.
However, I have already started cultivating immortality in this life. Who would still want to fall in love if I am cultivating immortality? ...
Late at night, inside Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and stopped nourishing the roots of the golden bamboo today.
It’s difficult. Too difficult.
When he scanned the bamboo roots with his spiritual sense, there was still no trace of life in them, and they looked as if they were completely dead.
But this is golden bamboo. The roots of one of the ten spiritual bamboos should not be so fragile. Could it have exhausted all its vitality in just a thousand years?
"well……"
He sighed like a helpless old father.
He opened the storage bag and began to review the rest of the gains from this trip to the Qingyun Secret Realm.
Since they are all foundation-building cultivators, the number of spiritual weapons they have is not small.
But the only thing that really caught Ning Daoran's eye and made him decide to refine it into his own treasure was the short knife of the Wang family's ancestor.
The Jade Knife is a second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon. It is at the top of the spiritual weapons list, second only to magic weapons!
This jade knife can pierce through a paper man with 30% of Ning Daoran's combat power, which shows how sharp it is. It will be very useful for attacking and sneak attacks.
In addition, there was the Hun Tian Bao Jia worn by Old Ghost Huo, a second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon, which blocked several of Ning Daoran's fatal attacks during the fight.
Fortunately, in the end, Old Ghost Huo was burned to death by the real feather fan, so this piece of Hun Tian armor was preserved intact.
It just so happened that Ning Daoran's two magical weapons, the Silver Scale Armor and the Jade Bamboo Spirit Tablet, had been damaged, so he had some supplements in terms of defensive treasures.
Having the Hun Tian armor and the beast bone shield to protect him is enough for Ning Daoran.
In fact, he rarely uses his body to withstand attacks. Most of the time, it is his substitute paper man who fights. His real body pursues the opportunity to kill with one blow. Only sneak attack is the best way to be safe.
He pondered for a moment and began to refine the two spiritual weapons.
Not long after, the Jade Knife and the Hun Tian Armor were refined and became his own treasures.
Afterwards, Ning Daoran took out the Chilong Ding.
This Chilong Ding is extraordinary. It is a third-grade intermediate magic weapon. Logically speaking, only a Jindan master is qualified to refine and use this kind of thing. After all, the mana consumption is too great each time it is used.
But Ning Daoran relied on the eleventh level of the Evergreen Art to provide him with an endless supply of mana, as well as a bonus of 10 points of mana talent.
It seems that it is not impossible to refine the Chilong Ding in the early stage of foundation building, but the frequency of use should be reduced to avoid the magic power being sucked away by the magic weapon.
"A magic weapon..."
He was a little excited. Once the refining was completed, this Chilong Ding would become his most powerful treasure.
Of course, in Ning Daoran's opinion, the strongest foundation should be Lingpu Dongtian. The value of Dongtian magic weapon is naturally far superior to Chilong Ding, but Lingpu Dongtian is an auxiliary magic weapon and cannot be compared with Chilong Ding, which is an integrated attack and defense magic weapon that can also be used for refining equipment.
He used the power of Changqing Jue to begin refining the Chilong Ding.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Buzz——”
The Chilong Ding slowly rotated in the air, emitting a forbidden glow all over.
The mark on this tripod is from its previous owner, True Man Qingyun.
After an hour, he successfully wiped out the mark of True Man Qingyun, and then began to formally refine the Chilong Ding.
This process was quite long. Ning Daoran was refining a mid-grade magic weapon with his cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, which was somewhat like stirring a water tank with a toothpick. The more he refined, the more nervous he became.
After three full days, the Chilong Ding was finally successfully refined!
“Swish!”
The Chilong Ding rose into the air, emitting a rich and precious light.
Ning Daoran raised his hand and waved it. As soon as he thought about it, the Chilong Ding suddenly turned into a Chilong pattern and appeared around him, as if he was wearing a Chilong armor.
For a moment, he felt full of a sense of solidity. The defensive effect of the Chilong Ding was quite powerful! Afterwards, Ning Daoran summoned the Chilong Ding and smashed it towards the distance. Suddenly, a small hill in the depths of Lingpu Cave was instantly shattered. The force of this attack even exceeded that of the Qinglong Spear!
It really is worthy of being a third-tier magic weapon, you get what you pay for!
In addition, two top-grade spiritual weapons, the golden silk ropes of the Wang family's ancestor, were also refined. These two ropes can bind the target by themselves and are quite tough in themselves, so keeping them might be useful.
As for spirit stones, there were more than 24,000 spirit stones in the storage bag obtained by the group in Qingyun Secret Realm, which was just enough to fill the hole in Ning Daoran's talent system and directly fill up all 30 points of talent.
At this point, in addition to the Holy Spirit of Plants and Trees, the five major talents of mana, strength, defense, speed, and animal taming have all been maxed out by 10 points. Many invisible changes have occurred! Ning Daoran was overjoyed and felt very confident.
…
Three months later.
In Lingpu Cave, Ning Daoran worked diligently and cultivated his Changqing Jue magic power for nearly a hundred days. Now he finally got the reward.
In the early morning, when he came to the bamboo root, he found a series of green veins inside the bamboo root. Finally, under his long-term nourishment, the golden bamboo regained its vitality! A few days later, under the withered shell, a tender golden bud appeared in the middle of the bamboo root. The golden bamboo finally began to sprout! "Old Deer!"
Ning Daoran was ecstatic and laughed loudly, "Today is a good day, I'll go cook two dishes for you later!"
“Ahhhh~~~”
The big stupid deer roared loudly, even happier than his big brother.
After a few days, more and more new buds appeared on the roots of the golden bamboo.
Ning Daoran carefully transplanted it to a spiritual field with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Lingpu Cave, watered it, cultivated the soil, and then waited for the bamboo shoots to break through the soil! In the evening.
"Chen Weimo, eat!"
"Come on~~~"
Chen Weimo, who was already a grown-up girl, hurried downstairs.
"Uncle."
Chen Weimo shared the chopsticks, pursed her red lips and said, "Have you heard about Lin Zhuojun's incident?"
"oh?"
Ning Daoran was surprised: "What happened to Lin Zhuojun again?"
"Two months ago, Lin Zhuojun tried to build his foundation again. It is said that his second foundation-building pill was also a genuine one. It was obtained by the Qingyuan Lin family behind him at a cost of nearly 6,000 spirit stones. It's a pity..."
Chen Weimo frowned and said, "Perhaps there is something wrong with Lin Zhuojun's state of mind. Everything was fine and he had almost succeeded in building his foundation, but when he was consolidating his foundation, something went wrong and he ultimately failed."
“I see…”
Ning Daoran frowned. In this case, Lin Zhuojun might not be able to get a third foundation-building pill. After all, the second foundation-building pill almost emptied the Lin family's wealth behind him.
"Eat well."
Ning Daoran said, "After eating, I will go to the Contribution Hall to get some third-level spiritual rice seeds. Starting tomorrow, we will start planting third-level purple jade spiritual rice in Qiongbi Peak."
"ah?"
Chen Weimo was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle's Huayu Jue has reached the seventh level?"
"It's just the seventh level of Huayu Jue, something that is within your control, why make a fuss?"
A gleam of light flashed in Ning Daoran's eyes.
It is very reasonable and logical for a dignified spiritual farmer to have mastered the seventh level of the Rain-Transforming Art and to grow third-level spiritual rice.
Moreover, with his current strength, he is indeed worthy of the title of a third-level spiritual farmer. Even if someone is jealous and wants to make a move, they may not be able to do so.
Ning Daoran has always been able to control himself very well, eating only as much as his appetite allows.
