Chapter 138 Return to Longxiang Village
Inside the Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran plowed the mud to loosen the soil, created a small spiritual field, and planted the seeds of Nirvana grass.
In order to refine the first-level longevity elixir, the Nirvana grass must be at least a thousand years old.
If planted with the Holy Spirit of vegetation, it would only take ten years to be used as raw material for refining elixirs.
As for the other main ingredient, Jinyang Ginseng, I bought seeds and planted them in the cave of Lingpu decades ago, and now they are all red.
‘Something’s wrong…’
A few days later, Ning Daoran put his hands behind his back and walked around the fields in Lingpu Cave like an old farmer.
Recently, the growth of various spiritual trees, elixirs, and third-level spiritual rice has been much worse than before, and the spiritual energy in the Lingpu Cave has begun to become thinner.
He thought about it over and over again, and finally figured it out.
After decades of cultivation, the original spiritual veins under the Lingpu Cave are almost exhausted.
If it is not replenished, the land in Lingpu Cave will no longer be Lingtian.
"Old deer!"
Ning Daoran immediately stopped drinking, patted the storage bag, and densely packed spiritual stones floated out.
One person and one deer began to get busy. They buried a large number of spiritual stones in the ground, and used the spiritual energy of these spiritual stones to feed back the entire spiritual garden cave.
After consuming more than five thousand spiritual stones, the spiritual energy in the Lingpu Cave became rich again.
Ning Daoran frowned, not knowing how long these five thousand spirit stones could last.
Come to think of it, the circulation of spiritual energy in Lingpu Cave is not rootless duckweed. It does not come for no reason. It still has to follow the law of conservation of matter.
"Old Lu, we not only want to cultivate immortality, but also believe in science." He said in a persuasive way.
"Ouch~~~"
Dabenlu looked like he was enlightened. It turns out that there is such a thing as science in the world.
……
A few months later.
News came that Lin Yun had successfully built his foundation.
It is said that Lin Yun spent a hundred days building the foundation, and the process was quite smooth. In the end, he was smoothly promoted to the foundation building and became one of the young foundation building members of the Chaos Sect.
In the afternoon of that day, Lin Yun visited Qibi Peak.
"Uncle Ning..."
Although he was already wearing the uniform of the Foundation Establishment Elder, he still looked respectful: "Lin Yun was able to establish the Foundation thanks to Uncle Ning's Foundation Establishment Pill. These are some small gifts. I hope Uncle Ning will accept them."
He sent some spiritual fruits and meat.
Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves, and Chen Weimo accepted them.
"Lin Yun, you have just succeeded in building a foundation, and your foundation is still relatively weak. Don't spend too much time on interpersonal relationships during this period."
Ning Daoran warned: "Practice more and consolidate your cultivation in the foundation building period is the most important thing."
"Yes, Uncle Ning!"
Lin Yun nodded. At this moment, he was obeying Uncle Ning's words.
"What are your plans in the future?" Ning Daoran asked.
"I..."
Lin Yun thought for a while and said: "The sect promoted me as an outer sect elder and wanted me to be the leader of the sect, so... Lin Yun planned to accumulate some spiritual stones first, and then look for opportunities to plot the spiritual veins of the ancestral land. Things.”
"Well, this matter can't be rushed. You'd better not alert the enemy before you advance to the middle stage of foundation building."
"Yes, Uncle Ning!"
After Lin Yun visited, he left.
Chen Weimo stood in front of the bamboo building, looking at Lin Yun's back, her eyes full of complexity.
Lin Yun also succeeded in building a foundation at an older age, but she failed and wasted one of Ning Daoran's top-grade foundation building pills.
Chen Weimo knew very well how valuable the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was.
"Uncle..."
She turned around: "I went upstairs to practice..."
"Go ahead."
Ning Daoran glanced at her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
……
After that, Ning Daoran once again immersed himself in practice.
The White Feather Flowing Sound Formation and the Fiery Fish and Dragon Formation require careful study and thorough understanding.
In addition, a lot of thought was spent on refining weapons and elixirs, which are required courses for cultivating immortals in the future.
Big Bendeer devoted himself to practice, mastering several existing forms of shape-shifting to perfection.
In this way, there is no time to practice.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In these ten years, many people have left and many have gone up the mountain.
Only Ning Daoran was still in his prime, wearing a thin green shirt, and his whole person exuded the tranquil and indifferent temperament of an ancient well.
This year, Ning Daoran is ninety-two years old, already an advanced age!
Among the foundation builders of the same generation, Lin Sheng, Zhao Lichen and others have grown into middle-aged people, but Ning Daoran still looks like a teenager.
Many people in the sect saw the clues and knew that Ning Daoran must have achieved a very deep level in the Evergreen Technique.
But due to his status as a foundation-building monk and the master of Qibi Peak, no one asked him any questions.
After all, Ning Daoran has been building the foundation for more than fifty years. According to some information revealed by Gong Yangyan, Lin Xingyuan and others, everyone also knows that although this foundation-building elder who devotes himself to farming has low spiritual roots, his talent in practicing skills is Quite impressive.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable for Ning Daoran to spend more than fifty years practicing the Evergreen Technique, and to cultivate the Evergreen Technique to the fourth level or even higher.
The ten-year period has arrived, and the Nirvana grass has reached a thousand years old, so it can be used as a first-level life-extending pill.
Ning Daoran was not in a hurry to refine the elixir. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the Lingpu Cave and poured his time and energy into the Evergreen Technique. He decided to practice the Evergreen Technique to the seventeenth level first.
For a moment, the soul swayed and fell, falling into a rather vague period of intensive cultivation.
[In the 41st thousand years, you came to a dry salt lake. All life here was cut off. Even the birds in the sky were unwilling to settle here. You sat quietly in the water deep at the bottom of the lake, as if An old submerged tree】
[Unfortunately, the Evergreen Technique remains motionless. Facing the sixteen-layer Evergreen Technique, you seem to be looking at a seamless stone wall with no trace to be found]
[In the 79600th year, the years have changed, countless heavy rains have fallen on the earth, and the water in the salt lake has filled up again] [At this time, a fairy in the middle stage of the golden elixir passed by and expressed his willingness to become a Taoist companion with you, provided that You need to teach her the secret of evergreen, and you happily agree to live with the fairy by the lake. She allows you to taste all the happiness in the world]
[Hundreds of years later, the fairy's life was about to end. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she yelled, 'You liar, I have served you for hundreds of years, why can I only practice the Evergreen Art to the seventh level? You must be hiding something! ’]
[You can’t argue, watch the fairy leave, or decide to concentrate on cultivating immortality in the future]
[In the 122400th year, the salt lake you are in has turned into a green lake, and countless creatures are thriving here. When you open your eyes at the bottom of the lake, your body rises like a towering tree, and all things are unexpectedly Resurrection and renewal with every breath you take]
[Evergreen Jue. Top Grade Earth Level (Seventeenth Floor)]
[Remaining time for intensive cultivation: twenty-four thousand four hundred years]
……
"Hu~~~"
Ning Daoran breathed a deep sigh of relief and woke up from the time of intensive cultivation.
The whole person seems to have really experienced the precipitation of 120,000 years, and there is an extremely vigorous and ancient artistic conception lingering throughout the body.
In the artistic conception of old age, there is still a sense of endless life, which is breathtaking.
At this time, at the seventeenth level of the Evergreen Technique, the wood attribute mana in the body is more refined, and the mana intensity is about three levels stronger than that at the sixteenth level!
Although it is extremely outrageous to spend 120,000 years of intensive cultivation time to break through one level, the benefits that the improvement of Evergreen Technique brings back to oneself are also quite exaggerated.
With the blessing of these seventeen layers of Evergreen Technique, Ning Daoran's mana intensity is far from being comparable to that of the general mid-stage foundation building stage. At this time, it is roughly comparable to the level of the early stage of the golden elixir, and it is the strongest early stage of the golden elixir.
Look inwards with your spiritual consciousness and observe the longevity.
In the middle stage of foundation building, his lifespan at this moment is 680 years, which has far exceeded the lifespan of the golden elixir stage.
‘Very good. ’
He smiled slightly, his longevity was abundant, and he had no worries on his way to becoming an immortal!
"Old Lu, protect me, I'm going to make an elixir."
"Ouch~~~"
The big stupid deer lived directly outside the alchemy room.
Ning Daoran moved into the alchemy furnace and began to refine pills day and night.
The recipe for longevity elixir is quite simple, and the difficulty of refining the elixir is not too high.
As a genuine second-level alchemist, Ning Daoran naturally has a very high rate of elixir formation, even almost 100%.
Two days later.
"Exit!"
Ning Daoran walked out of the alchemy room in a dusty state. At this time, there were already a large number of first-level longevity pills in the jade bottles in the storage bag.
Inside the Lingpu Cave.
Ning Daoran began to try taking longevity pills.
Each monk can only take three first-level life-extending pills in his lifetime. Any more pills will no longer be able to absorb the power of the medicine.
After Ning Daoran took the first pill, he sat quietly all afternoon.
After that, longevity increased by ten years.
According to rumors in the world of immortality, the first-level life extension pill can extend life by about five to ten years, so the effect of Ning Daoran has reached its limit.
He then took the second life-extending pill.
After half a day, his life will be extended by nine years.
This time the effect was slightly worse, probably due to so-called drug resistance.
Immediately afterwards, he took the third life-extending pill.
One day later, life will be extended by eight years.
Three life-extending pills can extend your life by a total of twenty-seven years.
Now, Ning Daoran's total lifespan is seven hundred and seven years, one step closer to being a thousand-year-old turtle!
……
"Chen Weimo."
Ning Daoran stepped into the bamboo building: "Come down and give you some elixir."
"Uncle."
Chen Weimo walked downstairs slowly.
She doesn't look good. She is now seventy-two years old. Coupled with the negative impression caused by the failure to build the foundation, her energy, blood, mana, and soul are already declining.
If it hadn't been for taking the Strengthening Pill before, I'm afraid Chen Weimo would have looked like an old woman now.
"Here are three first-level longevity pills."
Ning Daoran took out a jade bottle and handed it to her, saying: "If you take one pill every three days, it should have some effect on extending your life."
"Uncle, I..."
Chen Weimo pursed her red lips: "Don't waste your efforts on a useless person like me in the future. Uncle, I know you are good to me, but..."
"Stop talking."
Ning Daoran said: "Go upstairs and continue practicing."
"Yes..."
Chen Weimo went upstairs with the longevity pill.
"Old deer."
Ning Daoran frowned: "How long has it been since we last saw Zhou Tiezhu and Xiao Hehua? Let's go back to our hometown and give them some life-extending pills?"
"Yo yo yo~~"
The big stupid deer roared loudly and looked very excited.
It also misses Zhou Tiezhu and Xiao Hehua very much, and it has been fifty-two years since it last returned to the village.
……
Ning Daoran sacrificed a middle-grade bamboo leaf flying magic weapon and returned to his hometown with the big stupid deer.
early morning.
The sky above Longxiang Village was covered with fog, and drizzle was falling in the sky.
Outside the village, there was an old farmer wearing a raincoat and holding an old cow. The sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking could be heard in the village.
Suddenly, Ning Daoran refused to enter the village.
He was afraid that something bad would happen over the years.
