Chapter 253 Heading to Dan City
The Chu Yuanli period lasted one hundred years.
The sixth peak.
Qi Shiyun felt the spiritual power fluctuations coming from her disciple's cave and had a smile on her face.
Any cultivator will experience unstable control over his spiritual power when he breaks through a realm. This is because his strength suddenly surges when he breaks through to the next realm.
It seems that the day when his disciple breaks through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul will be here soon.
After fifty years of seclusion, the medicinal effects of the Infant-Smashing Fruit have been almost absorbed.
It’s just that from this aura, it seems that this disciple of his is not practicing the skills given by the sect.
The Danshan Sect's cultivation method is the Yi Mu Jue, but the Danshan Sect does not force all disciples to practice it. If disciples have better methods, they do not have to practice the Yi Mu Jue.
For the past fifty years, she has been protecting her disciples. Although there would not be too much danger in Danshan Sect, she still asked Chu Ning to break through in the cave on the sixth peak instead of going to Nian Tangshan.
…
Inside the cave.
The spiritual power surged and continued to spread outwards like a tide. Even though there was a formation blocking it, the terrifying spiritual power caused the formation to fluctuate from time to time.
Chu Ning sat cross-legged in the center of the cave. The surging spiritual power of the entire cave was flowing out from his body. At this moment, there were hundreds of spiritual patterns on his body surface.
These spiritual patterns are most concentrated on the chest, like a green breastplate protecting the front and back of the chest.
Qingshan Armor, now I can finally make one part into armor.
In Chu Ning's Dantian, the Nascent Soul's size doubled, changing from a baby to a five-year-old child.
The next moment, Nascent Soul opened its eyes, formed a hand seal with its right hand, and the mountain in Chu Ning's body began to rotate.
Boom! The mountain turned a circle, and a terrifying spiritual power rippled from Chu Ning's body, rushing out of the cave like a flood.
Countless lights were shining all around the cave, and many formations were directly destroyed by this spiritual power at this moment. Even at the entrance of the cave, where the formation energy was the strongest, an explosion was heard at this moment.
The cave exploded, the rocks shattered, and dust fell all over the ground.
This sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of many disciples from the Sixth Peak. Qi Shiyun was the first to appear in front of the cave with worry in her eyes.
But the next moment, the worry in Qi Shiyun's eyes disappeared, and her spiritual sense had already sensed the breath of her disciple.
There was no big problem with the stabilization of his breath, it was just that he failed to control his spiritual power at the moment of breaking through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"A mid-Nascent Soul cultivator can destroy this formation. It seems that what was spread in the sect was true. My disciple in the Golden Core stage really killed a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Qi Shiyun thought back to several decades ago when news suddenly spread in the sect about some of her disciple Chu Ning's experiences in the Lower Realm.
What caught her attention most was that her disciple Chu Ning had killed a Nascent Soul cultivator when he was in the late Jindan stage.
By the time she found out about this, her disciple's past deeds had already spread throughout the sect. She asked several disciples but couldn't find the person who had originally spread the information.
Fifteen breaths later, the rubble in the cave turned into powder and Chu Ning walked out.
unkempt.
"Master, wait a moment!"
Seeing his beautiful master standing outside the cave, Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he walked back into the cave. After a few breaths, he came out again, his body clean again.
"Your breakthrough to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul made quite a big fuss."
Qi Shiyun's lips curled up. She now understood the joy that other elders felt when they accepted disciples, especially when they saw their disciples break through to a higher realm. The sense of accomplishment was no less than when she herself broke through.
"I couldn't control it for a moment."
Chu Ning scratched his head. At the moment of breakthrough, he indeed had some trouble controlling his spiritual power.
"Consolidate your realm, and then start refining the fifth-grade elixir. Here is the recipe for the fifth-grade elixir. If you need any medicinal materials, go to the medicine pavilion and get them. If you have any questions, come and ask me."
Qi Shiyun threw two jade slips to Chu Ning, one of which contained some recipes for fifth-grade elixirs, and the other contained some of her experiences when she was refining fifth-grade elixirs.
"Thank you, Master."
"You are my disciple, there is no need to be so polite. Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I will be responsible for you."
Qi Shiyun looked at Chu Ning. According to the rumors circulating in the sect, the reason why Chu Ning fought with the Nascent Soul cultivator was to avenge his master.
She knew that Chu Ning's feelings for her master were definitely not as deep as those for his previous master, but she was confident that her feelings for Chu Ning would definitely not be worse than his previous master.
Will you be responsible for yourself?
Chu Ning had a strange expression, but he said seriously: "Disciple knows that Master loves him, but I still have to respect Master."
"Um."
Qi Shiyun didn't say much on this issue. She and Master Chu Ning had only spent a short time together, and she would know the outcome in the future.
"Then I will go back to Tangshan first."
After fifty years, Chu Ning was a little worried about the elixirs in Nian Tangshan. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong, he was still a little worried unless he took a look himself.
"You are obsessed with Nian Tangshan. Did you put some treasure in the mountain?"
Qi Shiyun smiled. She didn't know why her disciple cared so much about Nian Tangshan. Could it be that he had placed some treasure on the mountain? With her realm, as long as her spiritual consciousness swept the mountain, everything on the mountain would be in her sight. However, out of respect for herself, she did not do so.
There was a look of hesitation on Chu Ning's face. When Qi Shiyun saw her disciple's expression, her eyes lit up. Could it be that she was right?
"Master, I really have hidden treasures in Tangshan."
"Even though I am your master, there are some things you don't have to tell me. In the world of monks, even between master and disciple, we can keep our secrets."
Qi Shiyun interrupted Chu Ning and said that her disciple was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and the so-called treasures were nothing to her.
"Master, you should come with me to Tangshan to have a look."
Chu Ning smiled slightly. He had deliberately shown a hesitant expression before. As an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, it would never happen for him to show his joy on his face.
What his master just mentioned gave him an idea. He had obtained so many spiritual medicine seeds and was planting them in Nian Tangshan. With the formation he had arranged now, they would sooner or later be discovered by the elders of Danshan Sect.
Tell this to the master and ask him to help set up the formation so as to hide it from those gods.
As for whether his master would have any interest in Nian Tangshan, after so many years of observation, Chu Ning was sure that his master was not that kind of person.
Qi Shiyun finally agreed. Seeing the expression on her disciple's face, she became a little curious.
…
…
Thinking of Tangshan, Lingtian area.
Qi Shiyun looked at the many spiritual herbs that were growing very well and smelled the fragrance emanating from them, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
It took several breaths for him to calm down.
"Disciple, where did you get these spiritual medicines from?"
Even she was shocked by the number of high-level spiritual medicines planted in this spiritual field. It accounted for almost 20% of the spiritual medicine garden.
Growing elixirs is not an easy task.
The higher the level of the spiritual medicine, the higher the requirements for the soil and the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual medicine garden of Danshan Sect took thousands of years to build.
The place with the most concentrated earth energy in the entire Danshan Sect is the Spiritual Medicine Garden, which also has a seventh-order super spirit gathering formation that continuously provides spiritual energy to those spiritual medicines.
At the same time, the spiritual medicine garden also needs many disciples who are good at planting to take care of these spiritual medicines, but even so, the spiritual medicines in the spiritual medicine garden often wither.
However, his disciple had been in seclusion for fifty years and had not taken care of these spiritual herbs at all. Yet, not only did so many spiritual herbs not wither, they seemed to be growing better than those in the spiritual medicine garden.
"These spiritual medicines were first exchanged by my disciples from the spiritual medicine garden."
"No wonder you want elixir seeds. It seems you have taken a minor in planting techniques."
Qi Shiyun misunderstood Chu Ning and thought that her apprentice must have practiced planting techniques and had a high level of attainment in planting techniques.
There are such cultivators in the Dan Realm.
Some independent alchemists practice alchemy and planting at the same time, and their main characteristic is complacency.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You asked me to come here, didn't you just want to show off your magical medicines?"
"Of course not." Chu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Master, you have also seen that I have set up many formations around this mountain, but these formations can only prevent Nascent Soul cultivators, and cannot stop the God Transformation strongmen."
Qi Shiyun understood that her disciple wanted her to rearrange the formation on his mountain.
However, she is not good at formations.
"The sect has elders who are good at practicing formations. They can also set up formations for your mountain to block the spiritual consciousness of the Divine Transformation cultivators from spying on you."
Qi Shiyun looked at Chu Ning and said, "But I think you probably don't want others to know that you are planting spiritual herbs on this mountain."
"Disciple really doesn't want outsiders to know."
Chu Ning nodded. Qi Shiyun felt happy when she heard what her disciple said. It seemed that Chu Ning did not treat her as an outsider.
"If you don't want others to know, there are only two ways. One is to buy the formation scroll, and the other is to practice the formation yourself."
Qi Shiyun gave Chu Ning two choices, and then continued: "The latter is too time-consuming. To be able to block the consciousness of a Divine Transformation cultivator, at least a fifth-level formation is required."
Qi Shiyun didn't know that Chu Ning was already a master of formations and was now able to set up a fourth-level formation.
Although there is only one level difference between the fourth and fifth levels, the gap between them is greater than the previous four levels combined.
There are hundreds of arts to cultivate, and each one becomes more difficult to improve as you progress.
"Master, what is the formation scroll?"
This was the first time that Chu Ning heard of something like a "Formation Scroll".
"A high-level formation master can compress some formations into a scroll, and anyone who possesses the scroll can set up the formation. And you are the owner of the formation scroll, so you will know how to enter and exit the formation."
"When the Dan Territory Newcomer Competition comes, many strong men from other regions will come to watch. At that time, I will buy you a scroll of formation diagrams."
After listening to his master's explanation, Chu Ning's eyes lit up. The formation scroll was indeed suitable for him. Moreover, if he purchased it anonymously, even the formation master himself would not know where the scroll was used.
"Thank you, Master."
"You should focus more on alchemy now. The newcomer competition is not only related to the sect, but if you can achieve outstanding results in the competition, it will also be of great benefit to you."
Qi Shiyun did not explain to Chu Ning what the specific benefits would be because she was afraid that Chu Ning would lose his composure.
In previous rookie competitions, many disciples were often too excited and focused on results, which ultimately led to unsatisfactory results.
"Disciple will work hard to refine a fifth-grade elixir as soon as possible."
For Chu Ning, who suddenly reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, refining fifth-grade elixirs was not a difficult task.
"In addition to refining pills, your master will also give you special training. Although the newcomer competition is mainly about refining pills, there is also a written test, which will also have a certain score. If the quality of the pills you refine is the same, whoever has a higher written test score will rank higher."
The newcomer competition is divided into two parts: written test and alchemy.
As for the content of the written test, it will not be announced in advance. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent the major sects from conducting targeted training.
For the Alchemy Domain, what they need is a new alchemist who is good in all aspects, not just in one aspect.
The following days were boring yet fulfilling for Chu Ning.
In addition to refining elixirs, he also received special training from his master.
…
…
The Chu Yuanli period is one hundred and fifty years.
The entire Dan domain began to become lively.
The once-in-three-hundred-years rookie competition is about to begin again.
This is a grand event in the entire Dan Domain. No matter what sect it is, they all pay great attention to the newcomer competition. It is related to the reputation of the entire sect. It will also be an opportunity for the talented disciples to make a leap forward.
The newcomer competition is organized by the Danta Association.
Danta will be an extremely special existence in the Dan Domain. It does not belong to any one force. The purpose of Danta is to improve the alchemy level of the entire Dan Domain.
From newcomers to veteran strongmen, the entire Danta membership is composed of Danta strongmen.
Building the Dan Tower is the pursuit of all alchemists in the Dan Realm.
Once the Dan Tower is established, one will enjoy the worship of all the alchemists in the entire Dan Domain.
In this lively atmosphere, Danshan Sect also had a flying boat ready to set off.
This time, Danshan Sect was led by four elders, carrying dozens of disciples to the venue of the newcomer competition: Dancheng.
Chu Ning was resting in the flying boat's separate lounge. This was his treatment as a contestant. In addition to him, Zhang Sheng also received this treatment.
As for the other disciples, they did not receive such treatment and could only sit on the deck.
"Master, have so many brothers been there before?" The deck was very lively, and Chu Ning asked his master curiously.
"In the past, there were at most a dozen disciples."
"What about this time?"
Qi Shiyun shook her head: "I don't know either. It is said that it was Elder Yan who suggested to the Sect Master that we bring more disciples to watch the newcomer competition to encourage them to refine pills."
"Elder Yan's suggestion?"
Chu Ning was a little confused. Why was Elder Yan so concerned about this competition?
It shouldn't be.
