Chapter 220 Jindan monks’ sharing session
Fire Phoenix City.
It's very lively.
The Lord of Fire Phoenix City broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was not only a grand event for Fire Phoenix City, but also a grand event for the entire Hundred Cities region.
If the mayors of other cities broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, all major forces in the Hundred Cities region would be unable to sleep or eat. However, if the mayor of Fire Phoenix City broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, these forces would only be happy.
The reason is that the Feng family of Fire Phoenix City will not expand their influence externally.
Even if the Lord of Fire Phoenix City is at the Nascent Soul stage, the major forces in the Hundred Cities will not be reshuffled.
On the contrary, the Fire Phoenix City Lord's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage gave hope to many Jindan cultivators in the Hundred Cities, because he broke the shackles of the lack of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hundred Cities area. All major forces in the Hundred Cities came to Fire Phoenix City to participate in the ceremony. At the same time, the three major sects also sent people to come.
The appearance of a Nascent Soul expert means that the Feng family of Fire Phoenix City has the strength to stand on equal footing with the four major sects. The only thing they lack is the foundation.
The reason why there are three major sects is that the reputation of Xuantian Sect has declined to the extreme in the past two hundred years. The disciples who should leave have left, and most of those who stay will not leave the mountain gate.
I am ashamed to be associated with Xuantian Sect.
This is the common understanding of all cultivators in the entire Chengshan Region.
Whenever a disciple of Xuantian Sect walks out of the mountain gate, he or she will be despised by other cultivators. There are also some extreme cultivators who, because their loved ones died on the border battlefield, assassinate the disciples of Xuantian Sect who are outside.
The decline of Xuantian Sect is inevitable. The reason why it is still listed among the four major sects is because Yue Canghai, the Nascent Soul powerhouse of Xuantian Sect, is still alive.
All the major sects in Chengshan Region knew that when Yue Canghai’s lifespan ran out, it would be the beginning of Xuantian Sect’s true decline.
Chu Ning and Cao Qin flew to Fire Phoenix City together on their swords. Cao Qin represented the Xiyue Sect.
One of the four late Jindan elders of Xiyue Sect has passed away, and Fei Yuelan, as the sect master, cannot come in person. Duan Yurong is in seclusion, so the task of congratulating falls on Cao Qin.
When Chu Ning came to Huofeng City again, he found that the temperature in Huofeng City had returned to normal, and the original basin layout in the city had also been changed into a flat layout.
However, the stone tower still exists in the center of the city. This stone tower is the symbol of the Feng family. Even if the stone tower is no longer needed to suppress the underground fire, the Feng family will not demolish it.
The one who greeted Chu Ning and Cao Qin was also Chu Ning's old acquaintance, Feng Wensu, the elder of the Feng family.
Two hundred years have passed, Feng Wensu has become even older, and even has a hint of decadence, which is a sign that the life of a Jindan expert is coming to an end.
"Elder Cao, Fellow Daoist Chu, please."
Feng Wensu personally led the way and took the two to the guest house arranged by the Feng family, which was two adjacent courtyards.
The Feng family's Nascent Soul celebration will be held in three days, but many invited guests have arrived half a month or even longer in advance.
Chu Ning returned to his yard, and after a while he suddenly smiled and said, "Since you are here, why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
As Chu Ning finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open and a graceful figure walked in.
When Chu Ning saw Xu Ruobing coming in, his eyes lit up. Among the many female cultivators he had met, Xu Ruobing was the one who was best at dressing herself up.
She was wearing a quiet aqua green dress, tied with a jade pendant at the waist, revealing her slender waist. She pursed her beautiful lips and walked lightly in a pair of red shoes. She couldn't be ignored just standing there.
"How did you find me?"
Xu Ruobing glanced at Chu Ning. Chu Ning's current realm was the middle stage of the Golden Core, while she had already entered the late stage of the Golden Core. After restraining her aura, Chu Ning should not be able to detect her.
"I have a characteristic, which is that I am good at discovering beauty."
Chu Ning smiled slightly. His spiritual awareness was now close to the Nascent Soul stage. It would be useless even if Xu Ruobing restrained his aura.
Xu Ruobing: …
"I have good news for you. Liu Piaopiao has also entered the Golden Core Realm."
Chu Ning: ...
"Ahem, Brother Xu, did you come to me just to tell me this news?"
Chu Ning chose to change the subject. The days he spent with Liu Piaopiao in Juling City were indeed a wonderful memory.
I thought that after two hundred years, the beauty would fade away, but I didn't expect that Liu Piaopiao would actually enter the golden elixir stage.
"There are many treasure sharing parties held by Jindan monks in the city recently. Do you want to participate?"
Treasure sharing party? Chu Ning was a little surprised. Xu Ruobing saw Chu Ning's puzzled look and explained: "Every time there is a big event that can gather a group of Jindan masters, many Jindan masters will come in advance and gather together, take out some precious treasures that they can't use, and share them with others."
"It's a treasure trading fair. Take out the treasures you don't need. If someone needs them, you can trade them privately."
Chu Ning understood instantly that there were no markets for Jindan cultivators in the Baicheng area or even in the entire Chengshan area. Most of the markets sold things used by Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Jindan cultivators also have trading needs. No wonder after he arrived in Fire Phoenix City, he felt the presence of many Jindan cultivators in the city. At that time, he was curious about what these Jindan cultivators were doing so early.
It is not called a trade fair but a sharing fair, because they are afraid that some Jindan cultivators may bring out treasures that others may not appreciate, which would be embarrassing.
"Thank you very much, Brother Xu, for leading the way."
Chu Ning naturally wouldn't refuse. He had a lot of spirit stones on him and it was time to spend some of them.
…
…
A teahouse in Huofeng City.
Xu Ruobing took Chu Ning inside. When they entered the teahouse, Chu Ning felt several spiritual senses sweeping over him.
When he came, he had already learned from Xu Ruobing that there were many large and small golden elixir sharing sessions in Huofeng City in recent days, and the sharing session he was attending was the highest level.
The Jindan cultivators in the teahouse are not ordinary Jindan cultivators. They are either in the late Jindan stage or, like Xu Ruobing, are the rulers of a faction.
Chu Ning and Xu Ruobing sat down at a table in the teahouse. There were a total of twenty-three tables in the lobby on the first floor, and most of them were occupied by monks.
Some were sitting alone at a table, while others were sitting at a table of two or three. When these cultivators saw Xu Ruobing, they all smiled and nodded, but when they looked at Chu Ning, their eyes were filled with doubt.
Xu Ruobing and the others knew each other, but Chu Ning was a stranger in comparison.
This is also because Chu Ning has been staying in Xiyue Sect for the past two hundred years. No other Jindan powerhouse would spend most of his life in seclusion like Chu Ning. After all, these Jindan cultivators do not have as much life to waste as Chu Ning.
Half an hour later, another seven Jindan cultivators came in, four in the late Jindan stage and three in the middle Jindan stage. Only a few empty tables were left in the entire teahouse.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Everyone, as the host of this sharing session, I will just throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion."
An old man in the late Jindan stage stood up with a smile. He was the only one at the table. His words attracted everyone's attention.
"Twenty years ago, by chance, I obtained a piece of clear water sand, which I would like to share with you fellow Taoists."
A storage bag appeared in the old man's hand. He reached out to grab the storage bag, and there was a handful of green fine sand on his palm.
Green water and sand.
A water-attribute energy treasure.
Chu Ning knew that this old man was probably not practicing water-attributed skills, but was preparing to exchange the green water sand he had obtained.
"This green water sand is of great interest to me."
The old man in a green robe on the left spoke. Chu Ning glanced at the old man and knew without even looking that the old man was practicing water-attributed martial arts.
Although he has been staying in Xiyue Sect, there are many Jindan elders in Xiyue Sect. Chu Ning discovered some characteristics of Jindan cultivators a long time ago, that is, they wear clothes with corresponding colors according to the attributes of the Jindan they cultivate.
"Bishuisha, good stuff."
…
Not only this green-robed old man, but also several other Jindan cultivators expressed their thoughts.
"Fellow Taoists, please come in and have some tea."
The old man who took out the green water sand smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and several people stood up and walked into the teahouse.
At a Jindan cultivator's trade fair, it is impossible to take out the treasures that one wants to trade with in public. Instead, one has to go inside and take out the treasures in private, and the seller will choose who to trade with.
Five people entered and came out not long after. Except for the old man who took out the green water sand, the other four had no expression on their faces, and it was impossible to tell who got the green water sand.
Chu Ning saw that the expressions of other people in the lobby did not change much, so he knew that everyone was very familiar with this trading model.
This trading model is also the best, as it ensures that no one knows who will get the treasure in the end.
The Jade Water Sand was not enough to make these Jindan cultivators think too much, but if someone took out a treasure that was amazing enough, who could guarantee that these Jindan cultivators would not have other ideas? Then, several people stood up and took out the treasures they wanted to exchange, but Chu Ning did not move. Most of these treasures were five-element treasures, which were also useful to him, but the price exceeded the cost.
Until a man in the late Jindan stage took out a red crystal, which caught Chu Ning's attention.
"Green Spirit Crystal, used to refine puppets, has a certain chance of allowing the puppet to break through its original realm."
"You have a puppet?"
Xu Ruobing felt Chu Ning's gaze and asked through telepathy.
"Um."
Chu Ning replied that his two puppets were only in the early stage of Golden Core. With his current strength, if the realm of the two puppets was not improved, they would be useless.
"This person is the deputy leader of the Haoyue Pavilion. If you want to get this Qingling Crystal, you can trade it with him for the elixir. The Haoyue Pavilion is in need of an alchemist."
In this kind of private transaction, sometimes it is not about who offers the more valuable item, but what the seller needs.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Finally, there were two Jindan cultivators who were equally interested as Chu Ning. Both of them were in the middle Jindan stage. This also showed that after reaching the late Jindan stage, many cultivators no longer focused on puppets.
Instead of cultivating a puppet in the late Jindan stage, it would be better to spend more time preparing for the Yuanying stage.
