Chapter 12 It’s your turn now (Thanks to the leader who wants to eat sugar recently)
The days at Qibi Peak are quiet and uneventful.
A few days later, a spiritual farmer named Huangshan took over Lingtian No. 81. He threw all of Mr. Lu’s old belongings out of the shack and burned them on fire, as if Mr. Lu had never existed here.
After that, this honest farmer began to take care of the seedlings planted by Mr. Lu, working diligently.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather started to get hot, and the three acres of spiritual rice planted by Ning Daoran outside all grew vigorously, and unlike the other four spiritual fields, what grew was a lush green bamboo.
Those bamboos are translucent and moist, like emerald jade, containing extremely rich spiritual energy.
Green Bamboo Spirit Rice, a second-level spiritual plant!
For a moment, Xin Yan, Zhong Yan, Granny Yun Cui and others were all shocked and congratulated each other. No one thought that Ning Daoran's talent in Lingzhi was so terrifying.
Ning Daoran thanked everyone for their congratulations one by one, and claimed that when the green bamboo spiritual rice matures next year, each household will give a few kilograms as a gift so that everyone can taste the taste of the second-level spiritual rice.
Xin Yan, Zhong Yan, Huang Shan and others are looking forward to this. It is not as simple as the taste. After taking the second-level spiritual rice, you can improve your cultivation, and there is even a very low chance of breaking through the bottleneck!
However, what no one expected was that Ning Daoran and Da Benlu in the Xiaoyunwu Formation had eaten Green Bamboo Spirit Rice a few months ago!
These spiritual rice grown from bamboo tubes are extremely fragrant and contain rich spiritual energy. Ning Daoran's cultivation did not move at all after eating it, while Big Stupid Deer's vitality became much stronger after eating it.
After all, which spiritual beast can be treated like a big stupid deer? Every meal it eats is spiritual rice!
Ning Daoran has his own plan to cultivate immortality in his heart. Cultivating immortality is too lonely by himself, so he has to bring Big Stupid Deer with him!
When he asked, "Old Lu, are you willing to cultivate immortality with me?", Big Stupid Lu was simply ecstatic!
At present, the elixirs on the second underground floor are growing vigorously. Most of them have medicinal properties for more than fifty years. After I learn how to make alchemy in the future, I will start to refine elixirs that can increase mana and blood. The realm of the big stupid deer is knocked up!
But... the alchemy path is extremely difficult and the requirements are high, especially the requirements for alchemy fire.
Monks in the Foundation Establishment stage can use real fire to refine elixirs, but Ning Daoran is not in the Foundation Establishment stage, so he can only rent the Earth Lung Fire in the sect to refine elixirs. However, the rent of Earth Lung Fire is extremely expensive. Ning Daoran's current wealth cannot be consumed.
I won’t mention this, let’s put it aside for now.
He began to look for other long-term development routes. Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, alchemy formation and talisman tools were the first, among which alchemy ranked first. However, the requirements for alchemy were too high, so he put it on hold for the time being. Then he focused on the formation method.
However, Ning Daoran went to the library a few more times and began to despair.
Although there are some books about formations in the library, such as "Introduction to Formation", "Brief Analysis of Small Formations", "Spirit Pattern Science", "Analysis of General Formation Categories", "A Brief History of Formation", "Array" "One Hundred and Eight Applications of Law" and so on.
But looking at it, I don't know the reason and process of the formation at all. I can't understand Ning Daoran at all when he saw it and threw the book!
It seems to be just like the legend.
High-end immortal cultivation skills such as formations and talismans are difficult to master by one person, and they must be passed down.
But where can an outer sect disciple like Ning Daoran find inheritance? Others don’t look down on him?
I have no choice but to give up, put all these things on hold for now, and wait until the opportunity strikes. First, plant spiritual rice properly, and improve your realm and skills!
……
Not long after, news came from the spiritual field No. 80 on Qibifeng.
Xin Yan made a breakthrough!
He successfully broke through from the third level of Qi refining to the fourth level, which is equivalent to breaking a bottleneck. Breaking through from the early stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining is a great event for casual cultivating spiritual farmers!
Everyone in Qibi Peak went to congratulate him, but Ning Daoran didn't go. He just asked Da Benlu to send ten kilograms of spiritual rice as a congratulatory gift.
As for why Ning Daoran didn't go there in person, Xin Yan had to figure it out for himself.
But a few days later, Xin Yan decided to go out again to seek opportunities.
Zhong Yan had a bad premonition. She felt that Xin Yan was a little too eager for quick success. It was too risky to try to reach the fifth level of Qi refining in one go without even stabilizing his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Unfortunately, she could no longer persuade him, so Xin Yan still took his magic weapon and left the hut where the couple had lived for many years one night.
Without it, if you don’t fight hard on the road of cultivation, you will only be a mortal for the rest of your life.
Xin Yan had already seen a ray of light of immortality. He was so mesmerized that he was no longer willing to stand still and stop moving forward.
It is more likely that he has tasted the benefits and is no longer willing to rely on planting spiritual rice to slowly improve his cultivation.
……
In the early morning, the warm sunshine dispersed the fog and fell on a rice field.
Ning Daoran carried a spiritual hoe early in the morning and worked with Big Stupid Deer to weed the green bamboo spiritual rice outside. He was sweating profusely and passionate about the work, while Big Stupid Deer did not need a spiritual hoe at all and directly pulled out the weeds with a roll of his tongue. It eats everything above the root system.
“Tuk tuk tuk~~”
The sound of horse hooves was heard on the path, and soon a figure appeared in the sight of Ning Daoran, Zhong Yan, Granny Yuncui and others.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a soap shirt, with a black knife slung around his waist. He was obviously from the imperial court, and judging from the cloud patterns on his sleeves, his rank was not too low, at least he was not an ordinary detective.
The man was riding on a horse, looking at the several spiritual farmers on both sides with his superior eyes, and snorted softly.
Ning Daoran hugged the weeds and frowned. The blood energy coming from that man was so strong. The blood energy of this man was far beyond what ordinary people could compare with!
This is a bloody warrior.
The world of cultivation that Ning Daoran is in is called the "Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World". In the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, mortals have two cultivation options. One is to have spiritual roots and become an immortal cultivator, and the other is to follow the path of a martial artist. , practice the Blood Qi Dao.
Blood Qi warriors do not need spiritual roots, but they need a large amount of elixirs and blood food supplies. Although they are poor in culture and rich in martial arts, as long as they are willing to endure hardship, even children from poor families can still achieve success in the blood and Qi path.
According to strength, the blood and air path is divided into three realms: blood and air realm, liquid condensation realm, and elixir holding realm, which respectively correspond to the Qi refining stage, foundation building stage, and golden elixir stage of the immortal cultivator.
However, there is a huge flaw in following the path of blood and energy, and that is longevity. Immortal cultivators seek from heaven and earth, but blood and energy warriors can only seek from themselves. They develop a large amount of their own blood and energy. The final result is that they squeeze the body too hard and longevity is lost. There is no difference from ordinary people.
Therefore, the achievements of blood warriors are generally not high. Even the top genius warriors can only reach the end of their cultivation to the Dan Bao realm. If they want to practice further, their longevity will not be enough.
In front of me, the imperial warrior who was passing by had a cultivation level of approximately the seventh level of the Blood Qi Realm. He was already in the late Blood Qi Realm. His strength was naturally extremely strong. From the look in his eyes, he was definitely a murderous character.
This man went north to Han Bing's residence.
It only took about a cup of tea, and then amid a quarrel, the warrior mounted his horse and left with a look of resentment on his face, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes before leaving. ……
"Who... is this person?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Fellow Daoist Ning rarely goes out, probably because he has never seen this person."
Zhong Yan looked at the man's back and sneered: "This man's name is Li Xiu. He works as a head catcher in Shanyang County. It is said that he used to be a servant of the Han family. He later became successful in practicing the Blood and Qi Dao. No, the Han family has fallen." ”
"Malicious?"
Ning Daoran frowned: "How to say?"
Zhong Yan sneered and said: "The right way is for a villain to succeed. Once such a person succeeds, he wants to trample under his feet and suppress those who were above him and humiliate him to his heart's content!
Han Bing is the legitimate daughter of the Han family, and now she is here to take care of the spiritual field. Li Xiu has come here many times to persuade Han Bing to agree to be her concubine. How shameless! ”
There was no concealment of contempt in Zhong Yan's eyes: "After the villain succeeds, he wants to taste the taste of his master's daughter. He is really an out-and-out beast!"
"Isn't there anyone in the sect taking care of this matter?"
"Control?"
Zhong Yan looked in the direction of No. 78 Courtyard and frowned: "If it weren't for Han Bing's status as Xiaonizi's outer disciple, Li Xiu would have become the overlord long ago.
It's a pity that Han Bing, this little girl, has a ninth-grade fourth spiritual root, and her spiritual root is a bit lacking. Otherwise, if she could become a disciple of a foundation-building elder in the outer sect, even if she was a registered disciple, Li Xiu would not dare to be so arrogant. ”
Ning Daoran suddenly fell silent.
“Ouch~~~”
On the side, Big Benlu screamed angrily, someone dared to bully Junior Sister Han Bing like this, is this okay?
But it immediately thought of what Ning Daoran had said, not to get involved in causes and effects that had nothing to do with it, and its momentum immediately weakened by half, and it just arched Ning Daoran's arm with its big head.
……
In the end, reason prevailed, and Ning Daoran decided not to care.
A few days later in the afternoon.
Han Bing was drinking tea in the small courtyard of No. 77. At this time, she was already fifteen years old. She was tall and graceful, and she was already a veritable little beauty.
"Fellow Taoist, please open the formation and let me in."
Li Xiu's voice came from outside the small cloud formation.
Han Bing looked panicked at first, then quickly regained his composure and said softly: "Brother, I'll go out first..."
"No need."
Ning Daoran shook his head slightly, walked up to the balcony of the small building, and said: "Junior sister is a guest at my place, fellow Taoist, please come back."
"Oh?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Li Xiu's face, and she immediately left with a sneer.
Ning Daoran frowned, knowing that cause and effect had been attached.
A month later, Lin Bo left Qibi Peak and never came back.
Han Bing stayed behind closed doors.
Ning Daoran had an ominous premonition in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
……
Summer solstice.
Ning Daoran decided to go down the mountain, sell another batch of spiritual rice, reduce the number of underground cellars, and exchange for some spiritual stones to prepare for his future breakthrough.
After selling the spiritual rice in the market and exchanging it for a dozen low-grade spiritual stones, Ning Daoran took the big stupid deer back to the mountain.
This time I walked a little faster to avoid any further accidents on that sparsely traveled section of the road.
But not long after, Ning Daoran still felt like he was being watched.
He slowly stopped, and while ordering the big stupid deer to escape, he turned around and said: "Friend, you have been following me for so long, why don't you come out to meet me?"
Sure enough, a person walked out from behind the tree. It was Li Xiu who was dressed in black and had a black sword hanging on his waist.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so alert..."
"Did you kill Uncle Lin?"
"That's right."
Li Xiu did not deny it, and sneered: "That old guy, I told him to stop meddling in his own business a long time ago, but he didn't listen!
He thought that sending a letter to the Han family in Qiushui Lake would save Han Bing? What a joke, the Han family doesn’t even have a late stage Qi refining person now, who can do anything to me? ”
He looked over coldly: "It's your turn now."
As he spoke, Li Xiu slowly pushed the scabbard with his thumb, and the black sword came out of the scabbard, and it was freezing cold!
It’s a new week, and I’m starting to hit the new book list this week!
I am asking for all kinds of votes, and all fellow Taoists please give me a helping hand~~~
