Chapter 194 News of the Border Battle
A few days later, Ning Daoran visited Duckweed Fang again, this time to talk about real business.
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
In the elegant room, Ning Daoran arranged several restrictions and said: "Can your shop purchase purple jade rice?"
"Purple jade rice?"
Chen Ping'er's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Third-level spiritual rice is scarce everywhere. Our duckweed shop is adjacent to the Shenbing Sect, and we also have a lot of business with the sects in several counties to the west of Kuizhou." , this purple jade rice is naturally in short supply.”
"Okay."
Ning Daoran said: "From now on, I will provide you with three thousand kilograms of purple jade rice every month. I wonder if your family can afford it?"
"Three thousand catties?"
Chen Ping'er was shocked: "Do you really have so much purple jade rice?"
"Of course."
Ning Daoran smiled and said: "As long as your family can eat it, these three thousand kilograms of purple jade rice will be served on time at the beginning of every month. You will never be short of a kilogram or a tael."
"Okay!"
Chen Ping'er nodded heavily: "I wonder at what price Daoist Ning wants to do this business with me?"
"The current market price of purple jade spiritual rice outside is about two spiritual stones per pound. Of course, it is impossible for Ning to let your shop not get the slightest profit."
Ning Daoran groaned and said: "I will sell you eighteen spiritual stones for every ten kilograms of purple jade spiritual rice. In this way, three thousand kilograms of purple jade spiritual rice will be worth 5,400 spiritual stones. Ning will save it." Without the trouble of retailing, your shop can make a lot of profits. How about this business? ”
"Okay."
Chen Ping'er smiled slightly and said: "Just follow the wishes of fellow Taoist."
"Okay, here are three thousand kilograms of spiritual rice for this month."
Ning Daoran took off a storage bag, took out three thousand kilograms of heavy purple jade rice and placed it in the private room.
"I'm going to get the spirit stone right now."
Chen Ping'er turned around and left, returning soon after and handed out a storage bag containing 5,400 low-grade spiritual stones.
Ning Daoran took out the spirit stone and returned the storage bag, and the transaction was completed.
Chen Ping'er was quite sensible and didn't say anything about why Ning Daoran could grow so much purple jade rice and where he grew it.
Everyone in the world of cultivating immortals has their own secrets, not to mention great cultivators like Ning Daoran who came from the Chaos Sect.
Although Ning Daoran appeared outside Fan Book City and released only the aura of the early stage of foundation building, and used the excuse that his life span was short and he did not want to guard the Chaos Sect until he grew old, so he wanted to go out and have a try.
But Chen Ping'er could not see any trace of aging in Ning Daoran's blood and soul. On the contrary, Ning Daoran's temperament was like a vibrant green pine, giving people a feeling of prosperity.
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
Ning Daoran took out two thousand spirit stones and said: "I still have to trouble fellow Taoists this time. I want two thousand spirit stones of demon meat. Can you spare ten or twenty pounds more?"
Chen Ping'er couldn't help but smile: "Fellow Taoist Ning has already spoken, how can I not give in to you?"
In an instant, thousands of kilograms of valuable demon meat arrived, and Ning Daoran put it into a storage bag.
The main reason why I want to buy demon meat is because now my family has a big business and there are more and more mouths to eat.
Not only the big stupid deer, but also the small black turtle and the green water turtle have a huge appetite. If you want these spiritual beasts to grow quickly and even advance, you must feed a large amount of demon meat. This demon meat contains majestic essence and is the best way to feed them. An indispensable item for feeding spirit beasts.
However, the method of obtaining spirit fish meat by feeding purple jade spirit rice is too slow. The fish pond in Lingpu Cave is only so big, and there are not many spirit fish that can be raised.
In this situation where it is impossible to be self-sufficient, it is natural to rely on imports.
"That's right."
Ning Daoran tied the storage bag around his waist and said, "Ning heard that Duckweed Fang is well-informed and even has a business selling spiritual herbs, monsters, and secret realm information. Ning also has some things he wants to inquire about, no. I want to know if Taoist friends will accept this business.”
"Oh?"
Chen Ping'er raised her lips: "I wonder what you want to know about?"
"The Battle of the Border."
Ning Daoran said: "The border war between the Xia Kingdom and the Sangyu Kingdom has been going on for many years. Although various gossips in the world of immortality are flying all over the sky, it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false.
Ning was once a member of the Chaos Sect and was extremely concerned about the situation of Jiang Yu, Gong Yangyan and others. If Daoyou Chen could find out about the situation of the Chaos Sect members during the border battle, Ning was willing to pay spiritual stones for it. ”
"I understand."
Chen Ping'er said: "Friends, please rest assured. I will take care of things later and ask the monks who are out to inquire more about the border battle. Once there is news about the monks of the Chaos Sect, I will definitely inform my friends in advance."
"Thank you."
Ning Daoran said goodbye and left.
……
Swordsmith's shop.
"铿铿铿~~~"
In the refinery, the big stupid deer kept swinging the hammer, landing on the iron block again and again, with clear and firm eyes.
On the side, Mr. Ou Yeping crossed his arms.
There is no word about the big stupid deer's hammering method into the country.
"Old man."
Ning Daoran returned with three kilograms of spirit wine and two roasted chickens, raised his head to take a look, and said, "Has the old deer's hammering skills improved?"
"Yes, but not big."
Ou Yeping said calmly: "Although my disciple is considered smart, his talent in hammering skills... huh, it's not perfect for the ages. He still needs to practice more."
He glanced at the roasted chicken and spirit wine: "Boss Ning, you've been like this all day long, how about you go to the yard and play chess with me?"
"Okay."
Ning Daoran had experienced the power of the old man and said: "But we have agreed beforehand that we cannot regret chess, and forget about our bad chess pieces. If we continue to regret chess, our character will be ruined."
"You talk so much nonsense!"
"Hahahaha~~~"
In the courtyard, under a towering jujube tree.
An old man and a young man started playing chess, each with a roast chicken and a jar of spiritual wine.
Take a sip of wine and make a move.
"Ning Daoran."
When the old man drank until his face turned red, he had already lost three games of chess. He raised his head and took a deep look at the opponent, and said with a smile: "Tell me honestly, what state are you in? Middle stage of foundation building? Late stage of foundation building? Also Or have you already reached that point? "Why do you ask?"
Ning Daoran reset the chessboard and said with a smile: "You can't afford to lose, can you? What's the point of talking about practice if you don't talk about the chess game? My realm... is always a little better than you, old man."
< br>
"Humph, I knew it!"
The old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my life is about to end, and my ambition has been extinguished long ago. There is nothing left that I can't look away from. This White Deer... has really good talent, I will love it." Nang Xiangshuo, you don’t have to worry.”
"Thank you, old man!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand gently and sent out a jade bottle, saying: "Toss peaches and plums. The old man taught the old deer the wind and thunder hammer technique. I will give this bottle of elixir to the old man. This elixir can prolong life and prolong life." Live a few more years, old man.”
"Oh?"
Ou Yeping opened the cork of the bottle, took a sniff, and immediately frowned and said: "Life extension pill?"
"Exactly, three first-level longevity pills."
Ning Daoran smiled and said: "I can guarantee that the old man will live for at least twenty more years!"
Ou Yeping's eyes flashed with joy: "Boy Ning, play chess, play chess! Hahahahaha~~~"
……
night.
Inside the Lingpu Cave.
Dabenlu set up a blacksmith's stand in front of the wooden house and began to stay up late at night in the Lingpu cave to forge iron and sharpen his hammering skills.
Ning Daoran took Xiaobai around the fish pond.
At this time, there were not only little black ones in the fish pond, but also green water turtles.
“Plop~~~”
Suddenly there were huge ripples in the water.
"Little Heizi, get out of here!"
Ning Daoran's eyes were stern and he said in a deep voice: "Don't bully the Blue Water Turtle just because of your high level, otherwise I'll take you for granted!"
"Zhizhi~~"
In the water, a ferocious huge head surfaced, it was the ink dragon.
In its huge mouth, it was holding a green water turtle with its head and limbs retracted into the shell, and its sharp teeth made the shell squeak.
The defense of this green water turtle is really outrageous. In this case, it was not damaged at all. It was just that the flesh and blood structure inside the turtle shell was slightly compressed and congested.
If the Blue Water Turtle also advances to the late second level, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Xiao Heizi to break through the defense without using his natal magical power.
Ning Daoran had seen Xiao Heizi's natal magical power. He could absorb the enemy's flesh and blood and essence with a wide opening of his mouth. The killing scene was quite terrifying, and the green water turtle might not be able to block this move.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Heizi shook his head and threw the green water turtle out.
Suddenly the turtle's back materialized on the water, making dozens of rising and falling waves.
‘Beautiful…’
Ning Daoran secretly cheered in his heart, Xiao Heizi still had something.
"Hiss~~"
Not far away, the green water turtle turned over like a carp and nodded repeatedly at Ning Daoran, his soul filled with gratitude.
After getting along with him for so long, Ning Daoran basically understood the nature of the green water turtle.
In fact, it is somewhat similar to the big stupid deer. They are both the kind with clear and stupid eyes. They have a kinder and gentler personality. They are not like the little black deer. You can tell it is a ferocious beast at a glance.
Therefore, Ning Daoran actually likes Lao Lu and Jade Water Turtle more.
"Practice well."
Ning Daoran raised his hand and took out a piece of demon meat weighing at least ten kilograms, and threw it to the green water turtle.
"Hiss~~"
The green water turtle paddled wildly with its four legs, swam over quickly, opened its mouth and grabbed the demon meat, then turned around and sank into the water to enjoy it.
"Zhizhi~~"
Little Heizi moved his head bit by bit, begging for food from his master.
Ning Daoran took out the bamboo leaf knife and whirled it through the storage bag, and suddenly about twenty kilograms of dragon meat flew out. These dragon meat all came from the Hantan dragon of the Five Saints Sect.
A genuine third-level monster, this dragon has been entrenched in the cold pool for hundreds of years, devouring countless flesh and blood of human monks. One can imagine the richness of the essence contained in its meat.
By feeding him with level 3 dragon meat, Xiao Heizi should be able to advance faster and more stably.
"After eating such a good thing, when will you break the Demon Formation Pill?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Zhizhi——"
Xiao Heizi's pupils shrank violently, and the dragon meat in his mouth no longer smelled good.
"I'll give you twenty years. If you can't form a pill, I'll feed you to the green water turtle." Ning Daoran said calmly.
Xiao Heizi showed a look of horror.
"And."
Ning Daoran turned around and looked at it again, and said: "You are not allowed to bully the green water turtle, and you are not allowed to hurt its life. Otherwise, I will definitely slice you into fish, refine your soul into a wick, and give it to the old deer. Used for striking iron by holding a candle.”
"Zhizhi~~"
Xiao Heizi finally showed an obedient expression and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would go all out to attack the golden elixir.
"Hmph!"
Ning Daoran walked away. In fact, he was not sure when Xiao Heizi would be promoted to the third level. After all, the way Xiao Heizi was raised was purely to raise spiritual beasts.
But Bai Lu is different. Lao Lu has practiced the secrets of spiritual beasts, and he is serious about foundation building and elixir formation. He is more similar to a human monk.
As for why this is the case, he can't explain it, anyway, that's it.
……
In Fan Book City, he farmed, raised fish, raised turtles, fed insects, frightened Little Heizi, teased Little Bai and Little Qing, and watched the big stupid deer forging iron. This kind of life was extremely pleasant.
It wasn't until a year later that a man wearing duckweed factory clothes rushed into the sword-making shop and said to Ning Daoran, who was playing chess with Ou Yeping: "Senior Ning, the owner of the shop ordered me to come and tell senior that you want to inquire." The matter finally came to light not long ago!”
