Chapter 144 Different Thousands of Lakes and Thousands of Islands, Completion of Mana Tempering
Chun Ning’s spiritual consciousness is powerful, and his vision is far beyond that of ordinary Qi-training monks.
From a distance, he saw a dock where a boat was parked, and he immediately drove the boat over.
After landing on the island, you will see a long street with people coming and going, and it looks very bustling.
There are many monks among them, and about half of them are mortals with no cultivation.
At this moment, Chu Ning's appearance has not changed, but his cultivation is revealed at the eighth level of Qi training.
When he first arrives at a place, he will naturally not expose his cultivation level completely.
But in such a mixed place, having too low a level of cultivation is not a good thing.
Sure enough, Chu Ning’s cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining is still somewhat intimidating, and it’s okay for some mortals not to see it.
Occasionally, a monk looked at Chu Ning and saw the angry look on his face. After noticing his cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, he immediately looked away.
At the same time, people also stayed away slightly.
Chun Ning was naturally able to notice this scene, but he did not show much expression on his face.
After all, Caiwu Island is the outermost aura island among Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. Judging from the level of aura experienced, it is very average.
It is estimated that there are not many monks in the late stage of Qi refining on this island.
Chun Ning walked along the street, wanting to find a place to inquire about news.
At this time, a figure came up quickly.
“This fellow Taoist is very nervous, but is this your first time in this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands?”
Chun Ning heard the sound and stopped to look, but saw a man standing in front of him. A middle-aged man dressed in a scholarly manner.
This man was wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a paper fan in his hand. He was about forty years old and had faint mana fluctuations on his body.
However, his cultivation level is really pitifully low, probably only at the level of the third level of Qi Refining.
Chu Ning did not shy away. He nodded and said:
"I have just arrived here. I wonder what this Taoist brother has to say?"
The middle-aged man in Rushan heard this. When Chu Ning said this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
“I don’t dare to give you any advice, but I just saw that my Taoist friend came here for the first time, so I thought it was necessary to find out some information.
Chen is not talented and wants to earn some spiritual stones.”
< br>When Chu Ning heard this, he also became interested.
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, are you well-informed?"
At this moment, a trace of contentment appeared on the face of the middle-aged scholar-shirted man, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile:
"Chen's spiritual talent was extremely poor. He had no hope of cultivating one path and had no other immortality skills, so he found another way and started a business of buying and selling information.
It made fellow Taoists laugh."
Chu Ning nodded, "Okay, let's find a place to chat. It just so happens that I also want to hear some things here."
He had indeed seen it from the Qingxi Sect's information before. When it came to the introduction of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, he did not think that the information was accurate and complete.
Now that we are here, it would be better to inquire from the local area.
When the Confucian scholar surnamed Chen heard this, he said with a happy face:
"Fellow Taoist, please come with me. Let's go to Zuixian Tower to talk."
"Zui Xian Tower." Immortal Tower." Chu Ning stood under the restaurant and whispered the name.
I didn’t expect that I could see the name of a restaurant from the mortal world here.
At this moment, the Confucian scholar surnamed Chen next to him said:
"Fellow Taoist, please don’t underestimate these three words. This Zuixian Tower is the number one restaurant in Qianhu Qiandao. Any island with more people coming and going has this Zuixian Tower.
It is said that this Zuixian Tower was founded directly by several alliance leader families.
Oh, by the way, the name of Zuixian Restaurant is not for nothing. There is a kind of wine in this restaurant called Shenxian Zui.
Even monks who have reached the perfect refining stage can get drunk if they drink too much. Fellow Taoist, you might as well try it later. ”
Chun Ning was immediately surprised when he heard this.
The body of an immortal cultivator is washed by spiritual energy. Let alone a perfect Qi refining, even a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining will not get drunk even if he drinks alcohol.< br>
But a monk surnamed Chen actually said that this wine would make him drunk if he drank it.
However, when the two sat down, Chu Ning heard about this. When the pot of wine actually cost five spiritual stones, he immediately shook his head and said:
“Forget it, these five spiritual stones are too expensive, let’s get some ordinary tea instead. ”
There are indeed a lot of spiritual stones in his storage bag, but when he first arrives in a place, he will never reveal his wealth casually.
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Chen There was a faint look of disappointment on the face of the scholar named Confucian, but he quickly put it away and said:
"I, Chen Wangdao, haven't asked for my friend's name yet. ”
"Chu Ning!"
Chun Ning did not change his name. After all, this place is far away from Qingxi Sect, and to the north is the sphere of influence of other large sects.
Qingxi Sect’s tentacles can’t reach this place yet.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Chu. I wonder what news Fellow Daoist wants to hear." Chen Wangdao asked.
"The rough division of power in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, some matters that need attention, how to find a better place to open a cave, etc..."
After Chu Ning finished speaking, Chen Wangdao nodded. , began to tell.
After hearing this, Chu Ning was slightly stunned.
“You are saying that even if you are willing to give the spirit stone, you cannot buy a place from the Thousand Islands League to open a cave?” Just exchange the spirit stones from the Thousand Island Alliance.
But in recent years, the number of monks in the Thousand Lakes Islands has increased, and there are already monks on the islands with spiritual veins, even those with the lowest level of spiritual veins. "
Chen Wangdao nodded and told Chu Ning:
“In recent decades, the management of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands has been very different from before.
Almost every spiritual island has One or several monks in the late stage of Qi Refining will jointly serve as the island master, and they will be responsible for collecting the spiritual stones from the monks on the island and then handing them over to the Thousand Island Alliance. "
Chun Ningting. At this point, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
“So if I want to find a place to open a cave for cultivation now, I should no longer look for the Thousand Island Alliance, but the island owners of each island?”
Chen Wangdao shook his hand lightly. The folding fan said:
"It is true, and in these spiritual islands, wherever the spiritual energy is richer, there are mostly monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
Fellow Taoist is in the late stage of Qi refining. Even if we go to the islands now, we may not be able to get a satisfactory place.”
Hearing this, Chu Ning frowned even more.
Without a place with rich spiritual energy, his cultivation would be greatly affected.
After all, even if he can make talismans, the spiritual plants in his hands must find a place with strong spiritual energy to plant them, which is equally important to his cultivation.
“However, it is not completely impossible.”
Chen Wangdao smiled and spoke slowly at this moment.
Then under Chu Ning’s gaze, he said calmly:
“Thirty years ago, the Thousand Island Alliance launched the Thousand Island Competition, which was held once every five years. As long as there are monks who are interested in it, Other islands.
In the Thousand Islands Competition, you can challenge that island. If you win, you can obtain the residence and jurisdiction of the island. "
"Thousand Islands Competition?" Chu Ning. After hearing this, I also vaguely guessed that what Chen Wangdao was talking about was related to this.
Sure enough, the other party immediately said:
“In one month, there will be the Thousand Islands Competition, and there may be no movement on some large islands with second-level mid-grade or above spiritual veins.
But there are some islands with second-order low-grade spiritual veins or first-order spiritual veins.
Now many are recruiting experts from all walks of life, hoping to strengthen the strength of their islands.
Either don't let others occupy it, or go to a better island. "
Speaking of this, Chen Wangdao looked at Chu Ning:
"With the strength of fellow Taoists, as long as they are willing to join, I think there are still islands that are willing to accept them. ”
Chun Ning also understood at this moment, that is, he must first represent an island in the Thousand Island Competition.
If he can help this island win, he will naturally be able to get a place to build a cave. .
Hearing this, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
He originally thought that spending some spiritual stones would solve the problem in the cave. But I didn't expect that I would have to join this fighting competition in the end.
But after thinking about it, Chu Ning sighed secretly in her heart and made up her mind to give it a try.
After all, he has been away from the Qingxia Mountains for several months, and his cultivation has been slowed down a lot. Many spiritual plants in the storage bag have also reached the point where they must be planted.
For a while, he really couldn't find a suitable place other than here.
So, Chu Ning asked Chen Wangdao:
"Where can I get the news about recruiting helpers from various islands?"
"I am not talented, I have a If you want this information, fellow Taoist, just give me two spiritual stones with both hands."
Chen Wangdao looked at Chu Ning with a smile on his face as if he had expected it.
Chun Ning didn't waste much time immediately. He took out four spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to Chen Wangdao together with the fee for inquiring about the information.
Just now, Chen Wangdao gave Chu Ning a rough map of Thousands of Lakes and Thousands of Islands, along with the information, including two spiritual stones.
Chen Wangdao was immediately overjoyed and said:
"Fellow Taoist is really a refreshing person."
As he said this, he took out a thin booklet from his storage bag and handed it to Chu Ning.
Chun Ning took it immediately and looked through it carefully.
Although Chen Wangdao is average in strength, he seems to be jealous of money. But this thing is still good.
After Chu Ning opened the booklet, he saw detailed records of which islands needed to recruit helpers and what cultivation levels were required.
There are hundreds of messages.
Chun Ning glanced at it briefly and put it into his storage bag.
At this time, Chen Wangdao continued:
“Fellow Taoist, this month’s competition is on Qianhuan Island where the Thousand Island League is located.
Therefore, most of the islands are currently recruiting people there. Fellow Taoists only need to go to Thousand Fantasy Island. "
After Chu Ning nodded, he asked the other party:
"Then how to get to this Thousand Fantasy Island? "
"Teleportation array. "Chen Wangdao glanced at Chu Ning with some confusion.
Then he patted his head and said, "I forgot that Taoist friend just came here.
In fact, this kind of short-distance teleportation array is not difficult for sects, and many sects can also arrange it.
But among these different sectarian forces, the management of the teleportation array is a big trouble.
So I heard that except for places under the jurisdiction of some large sects, there are relatively few teleportation arrays in other places. ”
Chun Ning nodded. For example, the area near Qingxi Sect is not that big, but it is not as big as going to Qinghefang. , it seems that the formation is not suitable.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the formation method of the Qingxia Mountains itself is not good.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning asked curiously:
"Then in this Thousand Island Alliance, are there people who are proficient in formations?"
"Fellow Taoist is really You guessed it right." Chen Wangdao replied with a smile.
“One of the past leaders of the Thousand Islands Alliance is a family called the Cen family, and the people in this family are indeed proficient in the art of formation.”
Chun Ning then looked astonished.
Immediately, he said goodbye to Chen Wangdao and left. Following the direction indicated by the other party, he found the location of the teleportation array in the center of the island.
In the teleportation formation, there is a monk in his thirties at the moment.
After Chu Ning explained his intention, the monk said expressionlessly:
“Go to Qianhuan Island for ten spirit stones at a time. You can give out ten spirit stones and leave immediately, or you can Wait here until everyone is gathered before going over.”
As soon as Chu Ning heard this, she immediately chose the second option.
When you first enter this Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands area, it’s better to keep a low profile.
The monk was not surprised and asked Chu Ning to wait beside the formation.
Fortunately, there are many people on Caimu Island, and Qianhuan Island is the main island here, so there are many people going there.
Chun Ning only waited here for less than a stick of incense before gathering ten people.
After each person handed over a spiritual stone, the thirty-year-old monk started the teleportation array.
“This is Thousand Fantasy Island?”
Stepping out of the teleportation array, Chu Ning looked around and saw that the island was surrounded by spiritual mist, which was already faintly comparable to the ordinary inner sect of Qingxi Sect. Richness.
“This island is probably a higher-grade second-level spiritual vein.”
Chun Ning muttered to himself, but when he thought that this was the location of the Thousand Island Alliance itself, he felt relieved. .
Walking into the street, Chu Ning paid careful attention. Compared with Caiwu Island, there were many fewer mortals on this island.
Looking around, seven to eight out of ten of them are all cultivators of immortality.
Also, the level is higher than that of Aya Kirishima. Basically, they all have cultivation level above the middle stage of Qi training, and those in the late stage of Qi training are not particularly rare.
However, it is rare to see the ninth level of Qi refining and complete Qi refining.
Chun Ning was not in a hurry to check the places where helpers were recruited on each island. The previous words were just Chen Wangdao's remarks.
Although he believed a little bit in his heart, naturally he didn't believe everything, so he still had to do some research.
Zui Xian Tower.
Chun Ning once again chose this place where dragons and snakes were mixed.
Although the news that can be heard in this kind of place is mixed and many of them are gossip, there is still a lot of information that is very useful.
Compared to the Zuixian Tower on Caiwu Island, the Zuixian Tower on Qianhuan Island is larger and has more people.
And most of them are monks who are in the middle stage of Qi refining and above.
Many of them are still using sound transmission techniques when talking.
However, under the influence of Chu Ning’s powerful spiritual consciousness, these words were heard one by one.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chu Ning left the Zuixian Tower.
"Sure enough, as Chen Wangdao said, one month later, there will be the Thousand Island Competition.
However, judging from the discussions among the people in Zuixian Tower, those who are eager to recruit now are some Islands with relatively average aura and strength
Those islands with second-level spiritual veins will only come out to recruit in the last ten days because they are not worried about recruiting people. ”
Chun Ning’s mind. With this information emerging from my mind, I made a decision in my heart.
“Although I don’t want to join those big islands with the strongest aura, I still have to get by. In that case, I have to wait.
This island, on the other hand, There is a place specifically for casual cultivators to trade. You can check it out for yourself
There will be many places that need spiritual stones in the future, so I might be able to make some talismans in the next few days and sell them. ”
Chun Ning thought to himself, and walked towards the gathering place of casual cultivators on the island, ready to explore the way first.
After half a day like this, Chu Ning moved in There is an inn specially prepared for foreign monks on the island.
It is said to be an inn, but it is built on the top of a mountain, and it is quite mysterious.
"This room turns out to be. Built with special spiritual rock, it can not only isolate mana fluctuations.
Moreover, monks below the middle stage of foundation building cannot be damaged by spells. "
Chun Ning looked at this ten-foot-sized room, and he was a little curious.
He tried to directly send out a Cangmu Sword Technique, and sure enough, the wall of this room was not the same at all. No damage.
“It is indeed a good place to practice, but the price is a bit high, four spiritual stones a day.
Even if it is a one-month subscription, it still costs 100 spiritual stones. ”
Chu Ning shook his head. This price was simply beyond the reach of ordinary monks.
But after all, this place is located relatively close to the core spiritual veins in Thousand Fantasy Island, and the spiritual energy is quite rich.
Plus one hundred low-grade spiritual stones is really not too much for Chu Ning, and he already has a need for a training venue.
So even though the price was not low, he still chose to rent a room.
“The practice of Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique will be accelerated. We will take advantage of this month to complete all the mana tempering.
At the same time, other delayed practices must be completed as soon as possible. Follow."
Making up his mind, Chu Ning just looked around and immediately sat down cross-legged.
[Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high-grade Xuanjie), the first level (90/5000)]
[Nine Evolution Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Continuous Tendons (702/1500) 】
【Alchemy, second level (255/2000)】
In the past three months, Chu Ning has been in a place where spiritual energy is lacking, so he has basically not been able to absorb enough fire attribute spiritual energy.
As for the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique, its natural progress will not be very fast.
However, Chu Ning was not without gains, because it was all based on the conversion of wood-attributed mana in his body, and he had a deeper understanding of how wood can generate fire.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is relatively strong, so Chu Ning simply did not use any pills or fire crystals.
Continue to follow the most primitive method and use water milling skills to continue to complete the tempering and conversion of mana.
After practicing this way, a full seven days will pass.
Seven days later, Chu Ning, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
[Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), first level (100/5000)]
As he expected, when the proficiency of Yanhuo Shenmu Kung reached 100, his All mana has been tempered and converted.
Chun Ning raised his hand casually, and a magic power condensed on his fingertips.
Sensing the perfectly balanced dual attribute mana of wood and fire above, Chu Ning nodded with satisfaction.
After nearly a hundred days of hard work, the results are undoubtedly very significant.
He not only consolidated his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi refining.
At the same time, he has extremely pure and easy control over the mana with the dual attributes of wood and fire.
At this moment, Chu Ning thought, and the mana on his fingertips was immediately transformed into pure wood-attribute mana.
Then he waved again, and another wisp of fire attribute mana appeared on his left finger.
The next moment, Chu Ning's heart beat, and the two groups of mana instantly changed again, turning into dual-attribute mana balanced by wood and fire.
"The Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique is now considered a real introduction to me. I can practice this technique normally in the future.
And it’s time to practice this fire attribute magic too!"
