Chapter 77: Bones Searching for Souls (Second update! Please subscribe for the first time and ask for monthly tickets!!)
Deep in the Dragon Valley, clouds cover and fog surrounds.
A series of buildings with white walls and black tiles stand in the mountains, giving them a unique fairy-like charm.
The Luo family is one of the foundation-building families in Shanyang County. It is said that the ancestor is a great monk in the middle stage of foundation-building.
Ning Daoran took Da Benlu and followed the servant who was in the middle stage of Qi refining as he fell from the green bamboo leaves and stepped into the ancestral home of the Luo Ji-building family.
In the ancestral house, an old man wearing a gray gown walked out. Although he was old, he was energetic and his eyes were full of light. He was the ancestor of the Luo family.
Seeing Ning Daoran "holding" the Luo family monks hostage, the ancestor's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Chaos Sect Ning Daoran has met Fellow Daoist Luo."
"Turns out he is a friend of the Chaos Sect."
The ancestor of the Luo family had a cold look on his face: "Your sect is indeed a famous sect, but his style of doing things is different. He actually sent me, a monk from the Luo family, directly over. I really admire you."
"Fellow Taoist must have misunderstood."
Ning Daoran was unhurried: "To be honest with you Taoist, Longxiang Village is Ning's ancestral home. I just returned to my hometown recently and found that my Taoist family had invested in Longxiang Village and charged Longxiang Village every year." A certain amount of tribute money.”
"Is this happening?"
The ancestor of the Luo family had a cold look in his eyes, looked at the family steward on the side, and asked: "Is Longxiang Village also on the list?"
"Ancestor Qi, here!"
"That's it..."
A smile flashed across the corner of the Luo family ancestor's lips: "Since Fellow Daoist Ning is an elder of the Chaos Sect, he must have learned a secret skill of the Chaos Sect. I dare to ask, which one is it?"
"True Yang Furnace Technique."
"It's actually this skill..."
The ancestor of the Luo family's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I also practice a fire attribute technique. I wonder if fellow Taoists are willing to learn from each other. I really want to see the style of the Chaos Sect's true secret technique."
‘I still have to do it once, whatever...’
Ning Daoran sighed. Sure enough, if you don't show some strength, others won't be able to take you seriously.
In the courtyard, the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves.
A stern look flashed across the eyes of the ancestor of the Luo family, and when he fluttered his robe sleeves, the fire spiritual pressure of the mid-stage foundation building was overwhelmingly shrouded.
The opponent came quickly, Ning Daoran responded calmly, gently raised his foot and stepped forward. Suddenly, the True Yang Furnace Technique started rolling, the floor tiles under his feet crackled and shattered, and a stronger spiritual pressure pushed back the opponent's spiritual pressure.
There were continuous sounds of subtle spiritual pressure explosions in the air. In the distance, a group of Luo family monks shook their bodies and kept retreating, not daring to approach the battle field between the two foundation-building monks.
In just one breath, the perfection-level True Yang Furnace Technique suddenly appeared and crushed him instantly!
"Deng Deng Deng..."
The ancestor of the Luo family took several steps back, his face pale.
He originally thought that he could crush Ning Daoran in the middle stage of foundation building, but he didn't expect that the other party's foundation in the early stage of foundation building was actually so deep that he actually crushed him in terms of mana strength!
In fact, the ancestor of the Luo family had an intuition just now. If the other party was willing, he would have the opportunity to kill him directly in that instant.
For a moment, a chill ran down the back of the ancestor of the Luo family.
This person must not be offended!
"As expected, you are worthy of being a superior cultivator of the Chaos Sect. I admire you so much that I would rather invite you to the living room to serve tea."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
After sitting down, their mentality changed subtly.
"Fellow Daoist Luo."
Ning Daoran said: "Ning came from a humble background. Before the foundation was established, it was the family of fellow Taoists who cared for and protected Ning's hometown. I am very grateful in my heart."
As he spoke, he patted the storage bag gently and took out an eight-hundred-year-old true essence grass, which is the main medicine for refining the true essence pill for improving cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building:
"Ning was lucky enough to get a magical elixir during one of his travels. I believe it will be useful to fellow Taoists, so please accept it."
"Huh?"
The ancestor of the Luo family was startled: "Fellow Taoist is too polite. I feel ashamed. How can I accept such a valuable gift from fellow Taoist?"
"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be polite. Ning is practicing in a distant place. From now on, I will have to ask my fellow Taoist to take care of things in my hometown."
"In that case..."
The ancestor of the Luo family accepted the gift and said to the family steward on the side: "From now on, all tribute money from Longxiang Village will be waived. Every year, a certain amount of blood elixirs will be taken from the family inventory and sent to Longxiang Village.
< br>
In addition, the affairs of Longxiang Village will be decided by their own people from now on, and we and other outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Family monks will be sent to patrol the Longxiang Village area every month to ensure that the village is not invaded by monsters. ”
"Yes, ancestor!"
Ning Daoran smiled happily: "In that case, I won't stay much longer. The green mountains will always be there and the green water will always flow. I wish fellow Taoists that the road to immortality will always be green. Ning will take his leave now."
"Farewell to fellow Taoist Ning!"
After watching Ning Daoran disappear into a flash of light, the expressions of the Luo family were quite subtle.
The ancestor of the Luo family was secretly sweating. Just now, he almost cut off the entire family's path to immortality.
He sighed, but fortunately he didn't have the urge to take action directly, otherwise it would be difficult to remedy the situation.
Not only is the opponent's cultivation extremely strong, he is also young and has just established his foundation.
With a quick glance, the ancestor of the Luo family discovered that the young Shou Yuan who was building the Foundation was a bit scary.
And he only has less than fifty years to live. Once his lifespan is over, the Luo family will no longer be qualified to talk to each other on an equal footing.
Being able to form a good relationship with this person is undoubtedly a blessing for the Luo family!
……
Longxiang Village.
Ning Daoran and Da Benlu paid homage to their parents, and then together with Xiao Hehua and Zhou Tiezhu, they paid homage to the old patriarch and the White Widow.
afternoon.
Ning Daoran is driving green bamboo leaves, Zhou Tiezhu is on the left, and Xiao Hua is on the right. The three of them each carry a bow and arrow into the mountains for hunting.
"Ouch~~~"
The giant deer galloped on the ground, driving away prey for the three of them.
Sitting in charge during the foundation building period will naturally bring you great rewards.
When he returned to the martial arts hall in the evening, Ning Daoran's two storage bags were already filled with prey, including a lot of rabbits, badgers, wild boar, etc.
This batch of wild goods is enough for the people in the martial arts hall to eat for a long time.
Ning Daoran personally took the spoon and cooked a dinner for everyone together with Dabenlu.
After the meal, he picked up the Green Dragon Spear and performed a Dacheng-level Silver Dragon Spear in the yard, which impressed a group of disciples and apprentices. No one expected that the immortal cultivator could actually learn martial arts. Zhou Tiezhu and Xiao Hehua's eyes also lit up.
"Brother Ning..."
"No need to say more."
Ning Daoran took out a book of Silver Dragon Spear Techniques that he had transcribed by himself, and said: "I have copied this set of Silver Dragon Spear Techniques manuals, and also written a lot of experiences and notes. Little Lotus, you can copy an article and give it to me." Tiezhu, we will supervise each other’s practice from now on, and we must not slack off in our practice.”
"Okay!"
Little Lotus smiled and nodded.
She picked up the secret book, but then showed a trace of reluctance, holding Ning Daoran's hand: "Brother Ning, are you leaving?"
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran said: "I am a cultivator of immortality, so naturally I will not stay in the secular world for too long, and there is no time to practice in the mountains. Years and decades pass in the blink of an eye. I really don't know what will happen next time I come to see you. time.”
Suddenly, the circles around Little Lotus's eyes turned red.
"Brother Ning, do you still remember what I said when I was a child?" She pursed her lips.
"You said so many things when I was a child, how can I remember them all?"
Ning Daoran turned around, feeling a little uncomfortable.
……
early morning.
Before dawn, Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer had already left quietly.
"Ouch~~"
Outside the village, the big stupid deer barked softly. It was very reluctant to leave everyone.
"Between immortals and mortals, you have to let go even if you don't want to."
Ning Daoran also looked back at the village and said softly: "Old Lu, we can only move forward. If we look back blindly, it will only increase the pain."
The big stupid deer arched his shoulders.
"Let's go back to Chaos Sect. Chen Weimo and Xiao Heizi are still waiting for us!"
"Ouch~~"
As soon as Chen Weimo and Xiao Heizi were mentioned, Da Benlu's sad mood diluted a lot.
Green bamboo leaves sway above and pass through countless blue clouds.
……
Qibi Peak.
"Uncle, you're back!"
Chen Weimo made tea for one person and one deer, and then began to tell what happened to the sect in the past few days.
The biggest thing is that Liu Ruyan left the Chaos Sect.
Probably because of his guilt towards Lin Sheng, Liu Ruyan's practice had never been able to successfully break through the bottleneck, and he was never ready to build the foundation, so he decided to leave the Chaos Sect and return to the Liu family to practice.
This move may be a good thing for her and Lin Sheng.
……
After that, Ning Daoran started to prepare for another thing.
Explore the cave of ancient monks.
When Master Ziguang, Ning Jiaojiao and others discovered the cave, Master Ziguang's original plan was to kill Ning Daoran and Wang Chongyan outside the restricted area, and then start exploring the ancient monk's cave.
Unfortunately, the boat capsized at the first step.
Nowadays, the ancient monk's cave is still there under the cover of the restriction. Ning Daoran has just sent a tit to confirm this matter.
It is said that the ancient monk is in the late stage of foundation building, so with Ning Daoran's current strength, the risk of exploring the ancient monk's cave alone will be greatly reduced, not to mention that there is a substitute paper man, so the problem will not be too big.
The next day.
Ning Daoran took Big Stupid Deer and a lot of paper substitutes out and went straight to the small secret realm.
A little before noon, we arrived at the secret place.
The traces of Master Ziguang, Ning Jiaojiao, Zhu Ya and others back then have long since returned to dust. Today, this woodland has grown wild again, with dense forests and vines everywhere.
"Open!"
Ning Daoran scanned the area repeatedly with his consciousness, and after confirming that no one was there, he raised his hand and activated the eleventh level of Evergreen Technique. Immediately, the billowing mana pushed across the peripheral restrictions, and directly forcibly opened the restrictions.
Inside, an ancient monk's cave and many Liuhe stones on the rock wall are in front of you.
"Ouch~~~"
The big stupid deer shouted, reminding him that the secret realm was dangerous and he must be cautious.
"Know."
Ning Daoran raised his hand and threw out five paper figures with a "swish" sound. They were all ordinary paper figures made from high-quality talisman paper. They transformed into five young men and women and rushed into the secret realm.
Soon after, two secret restrictions in the cave were triggered, and the three paper figures were wiped out.
Ning Daoran continued to throw out three more cards to supplement, maintaining the lineup of five paper monks exploring the secret realm.
After a cup of tea.
A female paper repairwoman walked out, holding a pile of heavy Liuhe stones in her arms.
Another young male cultivator walked out, holding two broken spiritual weapons in his hands. It must have been too long. These two spiritual weapons were severely corroded by time and could no longer be used.
There is still a little difference from the estimate.
Ning Daoran was slightly disappointed. The ancient monks in the late foundation building period had existed for too long, and almost nothing of value was left behind.
He decided to enter the secret realm to see for himself.
After casting a spell, he succeeded in Mudun and entered the cave along a vine. The cave was not big and there was a white skeleton sitting in the cave. It was the ancient monk in the late stage of foundation building.
‘It’s impossible not to leave any oil or water for me, right? ’
Ning Daoran waved his hand gently and searched directly for the soul of the white bones!
