Chapter 254 Conflict of Skills
In the blink of an eye, 20,000 years of refinement time passed by rapidly.
Vajra Demon Subduing Technique, return to nature!
It seems that after the spiritual root is promoted to the fourth level, the time consumed in practicing the technique has really become shorter. It stands to reason that it would not take 100,000 years to practice this kind of earth-level secret skill until it returns to its original state?
“Buzz~~~”
At the moment when Ning Daoran quit the time of intensive cultivation, the skills were like seawater pouring back into the body. For a moment, the majestic blood and energy were running wildly in the body, and the skin, flesh, muscles and bones seemed to be bursting in an instant!
Ning Daoran was sweating profusely in an instant. When he looked down, his skin was covered with a golden sheen, shining like an Arhat.
That's right, it's similar to the eighteen bronze men in "The God of Cookery".
However, what Ning Daoran didn't expect was that a wisp of black-gold demonic energy flowed out of the meridians unconsciously. And just after the black-golden demonic energy appeared, the Eternal Evergreen Secret in the body seemed to awaken instantly, and the energy in the meridians The mana of the Evergreen Technique is billowing, constantly resisting the flow of these black-golden demonic energies.
There is a clear distinction between the two!
‘Skill conflict? ’
Ning Daoran was stunned, this was the first time this happened.
At this time, his physical strength has indeed become much stronger due to the practice of the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique. However, if he continues to use the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique to polish and refine his physical body in the future, the Evergreen Art will be suppressed. There seems to be incompatibility between them.
In an instant, Ning Daoran felt blood loss.
If the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique will affect the practice of the Evergreen Technique, then the choice is naturally very clear. The Eternal Evergreen Technique is the foundation and cornerstone of his cultivation. Compared with the Evergreen Technique, the body tempering effect of the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique is not worth mentioning.
After all, Ning Daoran's fighting skills are now quite strong. The reason why he still wants to continue training is simply because of the romance of "close combat". The feeling of killing his opponent with one punch is fascinating.
But if the consequence of practicing the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique is that the Evergreen Technique stops progressing, then you should give up the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique completely!
Loss of blood, 40,000 spirit stones, 20,000 years of intensive cultivation, all lost!
……
One month later.
Lin Man came out of seclusion and entered Ning Daoran's cave.
Although she was still as beautiful as a fairy, she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her whole body was empty of power, and she looked like she had been hollowed out.
Within a month, a total of more than ninety talismans were refined. Most of them were third-level high-grade talismans. There were also a few that were in poor condition and fell into the third-level mid-grade talismans when they were produced.
Ning Daoran was extremely grateful as soon as he accepted it.
"Friend Daoist Ning, how is your practice of the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique?" Lin Man asked with a smile.
"A slight success."
Ning Daoran waved his hand gently, and suddenly a demonic energy rose up and lingered around his arm. Then he frowned and said: "Maybe Ning has no connection with this technique. When practicing, he always feels that his blood is stagnant, which is extremely uncomfortable. Smooth.”
"Oh, it's true..."
Lin Man said softly: "I wanted to warn fellow Taoist before, but I was worried that it would be too presumptuous, so I thought it would be good to let fellow Taoist give it a try. Now it seems that my guess is indeed right."
"Master Lin Fu, can you tell me more specifically?"
"Back then, when I was still in the sect, my master once mentioned this Vajra Demon Subduing Technique. This demon technique was evolved from the Shenjin Demon Technique thousands of years ago. Although it is called Subduing Demons, it is It is actually a kind of magic skill in itself. Although it can invigorate the blood after practicing it at first, as long as it reaches a certain level...
The demonic energy of Shenjin in the Vajra Demon Subduing Technique will infect the physical body, but fellow Taoist practitioners practice the Evergreen Technique. The demonic energy of Shenjin and Evergreen Technique are naturally in conflict with each other, and you can only choose one of them. ”
She glanced at Ning Daoran and said: "If you want to keep the Evergreen Art, you should stop practicing the Diamond Subduing Demon Technique."
"Thank you Taoist friend for reminding me."
Ning Daoran nodded with deep understanding: "It's not too late to make amends at this time. Ning will just stop practicing the Diamond Subduing Demon Technique in the future. It's just a pity for those spiritual stones..."
Lin Man chuckled: "When I came, I saw that fellow Taoist sent a maid to take orders to refine formations. I think these formations can help fellow Taoist earn back spiritual stones soon, but that maid... …Beautiful appearance, good luck.”
Ning Daoran was stunned, Lin Man seemed to be thinking too much.
Before he could think of how to explain, Lin Man had already turned around and left to return to the cave to rest.
As a result, Ning Daoran began to work hard to refine formations to make money.
A few months later, after refining dozens of formations, the profit exceeded 40,000 spiritual stones. The spiritual stones lost in the Diamond Subduing Demon Skill were earned back!
……
Late at night, the city lord's mansion.
A gray figure floated into the city lord's palace and appeared behind the city lord Long Zhuojun. One of his sleeves was empty, and one arm had long since turned into nothing.
If Ning Daoran were here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person at a glance as the old man in gray who sneaked into Lin Man's cave with the array-devouring insect and wanted to kidnap Lin Man.
This person's name is Han Gong, Jing Xu's senior brother. The two have very similar personalities. They traveled together in the world in their early years and did many evil things.
"What's the news?"
Long Zhuojun held the Jade Light Cup in his hand and did not look back.
"I'll check it out."
Han Jing said calmly: "The person who killed Jing Xu and the person who broke my arm should be the same person. It is the Ning Formation Master next to Linman Cave. This person is very secretive. It is said that he recently refined a The third-level low-level formation master is a third-level formation master. In addition, his fighting skills are also extremely difficult and cannot be regarded as an ordinary golden elixir."
"That's it..."
Long Zhuojun's face was ashen. Over the years, he had been admiring Lin Man. The more Lin Man refused, the more he wanted this woman.
Therefore, a few years ago, Long Zhuojun sent Han Gong to sneak into Lin Man's formation with formation-devouring insects in an attempt to suppress Lin Man's magic power. He took her to his bed and took her Yuan Yin first!
For so many years, Long Zhuojun has served as the master of White Dragon Immortal City. He has improved his cultivation and is ranked among the ten thousand people in White Dragon Immortal City, but he can't even deal with such a woman. This makes him extremely angry.
Since you can't get her heart, then get her person!
As long as you can get people, does it matter whether you get love or not?
unimportant!
"I'm going to Ning Zhenshi's cave, you don't have to follow me."
Long Zhuojun raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Let me test it a little. If Jing Xu is really killed by him, this city lord will have no mercy. If not...it's fine, he will be recruited as a city guard formation master and made a white dragon." Immortal City repairs the formation. As a monk of White Dragon Immortal City, he has no reason to refuse.”
"That's fine."
Han Jing said calmly: "When the city leader takes action, he must inform me about the hatred..."
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will definitely call you."
……
Late at night, the city lord Long Zhuojun visited Ning Daoran's cave with a golden elixir monk and a Baodan realm warrior.
After exchanging pleasantries, Long Zhuojun went straight to the topic.
"Master Ning, I heard that when you first came to White Dragon Immortal City, you met Bai Xiaotian and his wife, and you also have some friendship with Bai Xiaotian."
"It's just a one-time relationship."
"I also heard that Jing Xu had insulted Bai Xiaotian's wife on Tianluo Sea. Fellow Taoist priests had witnessed this with their own eyes. Although Jing Xu had misbehaved, it was not a capital offense."
"City Lord."
Ning Daoran said sternly: "Ning is a cultivator of immortals. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Don't say that Ning and Bai Xiaotian only have a relationship. Even if they are really friends, how can they fight for a mortal with the same level of immortal cultivators?" Ning is not confused, what is the purpose of this? ”
Long Zhuojun was a little embarrassed, but the other party's answer was reasonable and irrefutable.
"Master Ning, actually Long came here today to ask for something. I hope Master Ning will not refuse."
"City Lord, please speak!"
"Recently, the defensive formations and restrictions of White Dragon Immortal City have been severely damaged, and this formation is a third-level formation. The formation masters in the city are not skilled enough and are helpless. Since the formation master Ning is a third-level formation master, I also hope that I can help the fairy city repair the damaged formation. Of course, I will not let my fellow Taoist work in vain.”
With a gentle push, a storage bag containing spiritual stones flew over slowly: "These are ten thousand spiritual stones, which should be considered as the cost of hiring fellow Taoists from Immortal City to repair the formation. Please do not refuse, Fellow Daoist Ning. ”
"Master Ning!"
Not far away, a middle-stage foundation-building monk following Long Zhuojun looked familiar. It was Chen Wen. He looked embarrassed: "I am one of the city-protecting formation masters, but I am only a second-level low-grade formation master." I know very little about third-level formations and restrictions, and I hope Master Ning can help us resolve our predicament.”
Ning Daoran frowned. It seemed that the repair work of the city defense formation would be impossible if he did not continue.
I just don’t know if Long Zhuojun has arranged for another back-up plan. It is inevitable that the person who comes is not good, so we must be careful next time.
"In this case, Ning is disrespectful."
After Ning Daoran accepted the 10,000 spirit stones, Long Zhuojun and others left immediately.
Outside the cave, there are only two foundation-building formation masters left. One is Chen Wen and the other is Zhang Yi. They are both second-level low-level formation masters. It is okay to start with their formation cultivation, but they have to preside over a third-level formation master. The repair work of the large array is quite reluctant.
"Senior Ning!"
Chen Wen looked earnest: "Tomorrow morning, fellow Daoist Zhang and I will come over and accompany you to inspect the damage to the formation outside the city?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, junior."
After everyone left, the cave next door was filled with darkness, but Lin Man walked out.
She looked at the backs of Chen Wen and Chen Wen with her beautiful eyes and said, "Is Long Zhuojun a friend?"
"That's not true."
Ning Daoran shook his head: "However, the Lord of Dragon City spent 10,000 spirit stones to ask me to take charge of the work of repairing the city protection formation, but I don't know if he has other intentions."
"In short, be extra careful."
Lin Man felt anxious and said through a message: "Long Zhuojun is not a kind person. It is said that he started his career as a tribulation cultivator."
……
Early next morning.
Before dawn, two foundation-building monks, Chen Wen and Zhang Yi, were already waiting outside with a very respectful attitude. They are both formation masters, so they naturally know how difficult the formation is. For the two of them, Ning Daoran Not only a golden elixir, but also a third-level formation master. This kind of person is like a god who guides the way. Chen Wen and Zhang Yi are as enthusiastic about him as an idol.
"Senior Ning, we can set off!"
The moment Ning Daoran walked out of the cave, Chen Wen looked excited.
