Chapter 146 Soul-fixing Pearl, a successful breakthrough
When Chu Ning agreed, Jiang Hongguang was very happy.
Under his kind invitation, Chu Ning went to his cave as a guest for a long time before leaving Feihong Island.
As for Jiang Hongguang and others, because of the addition of Chu Ning, they will no longer go to Thousand Fantasy Island for the time being.
The two parties agreed to meet at the Thousand Fantasy Island Dojo ten days later.
After Chu Ning left, Jiang Lan immediately said:
“Brother, although this Chu Ning’s cultivation seems to be at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he looks younger than me. How old is he?
I don’t know if he has the ability. Is it really useful to invite him to join?”
When Jiang Hongguang heard this, he immediately glared at Jiang Lan and said:
“How many times have I told you, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I think that although this fellow Daoist Chu is young, his temperament is quite calm. I think he must have experienced things.
It is different from people like you who have been cultivating on the island since childhood. "
Hearing Jiang Hongguang's words, Jiang Lan said a little unconvinced:
"Huh, who are you looking down on? When the time comes, someone will come to us to compete and challenge us. We may not know who is better. "
Listening to Jiang Lan's words, Jiang Hongguang also shook his head helplessly.
On the other hand, Yu Yuanxiu on the side answered at the moment:
"Xiao Lan, your brother invited me. Fellow Daoist Chu joined just in case.
After all, this fellow Daoist Chu has reached the eighth level of Qi refining at a young age. With him here, it will be helpful for others who want to challenge us.
It is also an invisible deterrent, which is more effective than having one more monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining. "
After Jiang Hongguang heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Look, my sister-in-law still understands me.
I am also planning for a rainy day, but we have a second-order spiritual vein matter here, and the news has been kept very secret.
Logically, there should be no one outside. It’s better to know. I hope no one will come out to interfere in the end.
In this way, we can practice here in peace for a few more years.”
……
Feihong. While the three people on the island were discussing, Chu Ning had returned to Thousand Fantasy Island.
Because Chu Ning has already found the island to join, naturally there is no need for Chu Ning to go to the dojo anymore.
So, he continued to go to the place where casual cultivators gathered.
The Thousand Islands Competition is about to begin. The popularity here has obviously become much more popular recently, and there are many more people buying and trading.
Chun Ning will naturally not let go of such an opportunity to make money.
He even took out two intermediate and low-grade talismans, and one of them was quickly bought.
However, the other one has no one interested in it for the time being.
At noon, Chu Ning closed the stall and prepared to go directly back to the stone room of the inn.
After taking a few steps, Chu Ning's eyes suddenly fell on an item in front of a casual cultivator.
A jet black bead.
"Soul-fixing Pearl?"
Chun Ning showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then quickly calmed down his expression and walked to the stall pretending to be nonchalant.
Behind the stall, a tall and thin monk in his thirties was standing.
When he saw Chu Ning coming to the stall, he didn't say hello and just let Chu Ning watch on his own.
Chun Ning picked up two or three magic weapons with great interest, all of which were intermediate magic weapons. After asking about the price, he shook his head and put them down.
I don’t know if it’s because there are many casual cultivators here, or because there are no major sects.
The price of the intermediate magic weapon sold here is seven to eight hundred spirit stones, which is much more expensive than the magic weapon bought near the Qingxia Mountains in Chuning.
At this time, he picked up the black bead with some curiosity.
The feeling of getting it was very familiar to Chu Ning. He then scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
This bead is actually exactly the same as the soul-fixing bead he bought from Fengxiafang for 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Thinking back to the introduction of the female cultivator named Zhang, this bead should be one of a certain magic weapon.
At this moment, Chu Ning asked inadvertently:
"Fellow Taoist, what are these beads used for?"
"I don't know!" The tall and thin monk was at this moment. Chu Ning was obviously not very patient after asking for multiple magical artifacts in succession.
“I got it from others accidentally, and I didn’t find it had any special effect.”
After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled secretly in her heart.
To use this bead, you must be able to use your spiritual consciousness externally.
The other party, an ordinary monk in the Qi refining stage, would naturally not be able to discover the mystery.
"How many spiritual stones are there in this bead?" Chu Ning asked.
"Ten spirit stones, take them if you want them."
The next moment, the tall and thin man's words made Chu Ning open his mouth.
Seeing Chu Ning's expression, the tall and thin man thought Chu Ning thought the price was high.
Frowning slightly, he continued:
"Although this bead is of no use, its texture is still good, very hard, and it is also good for decoration
10 pieces of spirit Stones are not very expensive, so if you want, you can get 8 spiritual stones.”
When Chu Ning heard this, she felt like she had made a lot of money.
But at this moment, he still hesitated and said:
"That's it, 8 spirit stones are okay."
As he said that, Chu Ning put the beads directly Put it into the storage bag, and then handed the 8 spiritual stones to the other party.
After thinking about it, Chu Ning asked again:
"Fellow Taoist, do you still have these beads? If I want to use them for decoration, a pair would be better."
“No more.” The tall and thin monk quickly took the spirit stone, as if he was afraid that Chu Ning would regret it.
When Chu Ning heard what the other party said, he turned around and left without saying much.
After Chu Ning walked away, the tall and thin monk showed a happy smile on his face and said softly:
“I didn’t expect that he would be casually walking by the Shuiyun Island Lake. A bead obtained can actually be sold for 8 spiritual stones
If I had known, I would have looked more to see if there were any beads like this. "
Chun Ning, who had already walked far away, kept walking, but he was already muttering secretly in his heart.
"Shuiyun Island! "
With the strength of his consciousness at this moment, he naturally listened to the words of the tall, thin middle-aged monk word for word.
Chun Ning remembered these words in his heart, and then He returned to the stone room of the inn with a normal expression.
He did not start practicing immediately. At this moment, Chu Ning had a jade slip in his hand.
It was the Yanhuo brought out from the sect. Shenmu Kung Fu.
“The peak state of the ninth level of Qi refining has been tempered in the first three months, plus the consolidation in the past 20 days since I came here.
The problem that my realm was somewhat unstable due to using too many elixirs and elixirs no longer exists.
It’s time to break through and reach the perfection of Qi refining! ”
In fact, Chu Ning was already familiar with the cultivation methods in this jade slip, but he still took it out and reviewed it again at this moment.
Not only did he carefully read the cultivation techniques for Qi Refining Perfection, but he also did not miss the subsequent foundation-building techniques.
After all, the perfection of Qi refining is actually preparation for the subsequent foundation building.
To build a foundation, monks actually need to meet several conditions.
The first is a strong body. If you are seriously injured, have a loss of Qi and blood, have weak essence and blood, etc., it will be difficult to build a foundation.
So the older the monk, the more difficult it is to build a foundation. Generally, if a monk does not build a foundation before the age of fifty, it will be more difficult later on.
And if there is no foundation building at the age of sixty, there is basically no hope.
The second is abundant mana and mana condensation. Without abundant mana, it is impossible to do it.
The third is that the spiritual consciousness is powerful. In fact, ordinary cultivation methods also have a certain effect in strengthening the spiritual consciousness, but it is slower.
As a result, the Foundation Building Pill has become a very popular pill in the world of immortality.
One of the great effects of this elixir is that it can strengthen your spiritual consciousness and strengthen your body.
Remove some hidden injuries and erysipelas impurities left behind by taking elixirs.
On the contrary, in terms of increasing mana, the role of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not that great.
The perfection of Qi refining is an important stage in the transition from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period.
The most important point is to increase mana, and to fill the Dantian with mana to the extreme.
Chun Ning went through all this information one by one before putting the jade slip into the storage bag.
He casually took out a medium-grade spiritual stone.
At the same time, he looked inside to check the status of his mana in his Dantian.
In the dantian at this moment, nine mana circles are clearly visible layer by layer.
“The nine mana circles merge into one and turn into a ball, which means we have entered the state of perfect Qi refining...”
Chu Ning thought to himself, then started the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique and started formal practice.
This practice lasted three days.
Chun Ning used three middle-grade spiritual stones before he opened his eyes in the stone chamber.
“Qi refining is complete!”
Chun Ning smiled slightly and jumped up.
The right hand suddenly raised, and three fireballs appeared at the same time.
And as soon as the three fireballs appeared, they merged together instantly.
As Chu Ning waved his wrist, a ball of fire suddenly flew out of the air and hit the wall.
“Bang!”
As a burst sounded, a burst of mana fluctuations echoed in the stone chamber.
Seeing that the fusion of three fireballs that had never been completed before was completed so easily, Chu Ning suddenly felt very satisfied.
After reaching the perfection of Qi refining, the control over mana is indeed stronger. At this time, Chu Ning felt something in her heart and took out a long gun from her storage bag.
This gun was obtained from Shang Rui, who was in the realm of perfect Qi refining in the spiritual realm.
The other party calls it the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, which is a top-notch magic weapon.
Chun Ning tried it before, but because the wood attribute of this magic weapon could not be activated, he kept it in the storage bag.
When he returned to Qingxi Sect, he was worried that someone in the sect would know that Shang Rui died at his hands.
I didn’t even dare to take it out.
At this moment, holding a spear in his hand, Chu Ning poured mana into his hand.
The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear instantly became hot, and the whole body was condensed with flames.
Chu Ning danced randomly, and suddenly a flame swept out.
Looking at the power, it was much more powerful than Chu Ning's two fireballs just now.
“This top-notch magic weapon is indeed ready for use!”
Chun Ning’s eyes brightened, and he was also greatly surprised by its power.
He even had a vague feeling that if he pushed it with all his strength, the movement would be so loud that the stone chamber might not be able to cover it up.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning would naturally not try it easily.
Putting away the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, Chu Ning immediately checked it in his storage bag.
He will participate in the Qiandao Competition in a few days, and he will naturally be prepared to represent Feihong Island.
In addition to having many talismans to use, it is natural to also have a magic weapon.
The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear is inappropriate.
This top-level magic weapon, just like the jet-black knife, will not be used easily until the critical moment.
There is also a blazing bracelet, but he needs to prepare one more. The most important thing is that he has tried this blazing bracelet before.
The talisman condensed in his red flame talisman cannot be emitted by the red flame technique with the help of this magic weapon.
The same is true for the fireball formed by the Fiery Flame Technique.
The Blazing Bracelet seems to be able to only exert its own attack.
In this case, the function of doubling the fire attribute spells of his Noon Fire Spirit Body will not be able to be used.
What made Chu Ning frown slightly was that none of the high-end magic weapons in his storage bag had fire attributes.
Back then, I killed several Yin Demon Sect disciples in the spiritual realm and harvested several high-attribute magic weapons, including earth, wood, metal, and water, but there was no fire-attribute magic weapon.
"Is it possible that I can only use this long knife..." Chu Ning picked up the long wooden knife.
The brows furrowed slightly. A relatively directional spell like Cangmu Sword Jue seemed inappropriate to use.
As for the life-saving method of body cultivation, I don't know how to use it.
“Hey!”
At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly took out a handful of thorns from his storage bag.
This thing was obtained from killing the feminine young man during the fierce battle in the Diling Spring Water Cave.
Because it was a primary magic weapon, Chu Ning never paid attention to it.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the feminine young man seemed to be using fire spells.
At this moment, Chu Ning took it out and felt it in his hand.
Sure enough, I discovered that this is a fire-attribute magic weapon.
When Chu Ning tried to activate the Red Flame Technique and the Flame Splitting Technique, he unexpectedly discovered that both of them could be used.
Although it is a primary magic weapon, the increase is not much.
But the two spells themselves are not weak in power, plus the bonus of Chu Ning Wuhuo Spirit Body.
When superimposed, it is actually stronger than the spell emitted by the blazing bracelet.
“It’s up to you!”
Chun Ning held the thorn and smiled slightly.
After three days of seclusion, Chu Ning came out of the stone room of the inn again.
He went to the casual cultivator place again to sell talismans. At the same time, he also walked around to see if there were any opportunities to pick up missing items.
Unfortunately, this opportunity to pick up the missing items does not come often. Chu Ning searched for several days but still found nothing.
The time for the Thousand Island Competition came soon.
This morning, after Chu Ning completed his training, he walked directly out of the stone room of the inn.
Then go straight to the island dojo.
Arriving at the high platform formed by Feihong Island, Jiang Hongguang, his wife and his sister Jiang Lan had already arrived.
“Several fellow Taoists came quite early.”
Chun Ning entered the high platform and saluted several people, who also returned the salute.
It was Jiang Lan who looked at him with a provocative look, which made Chu Ning a little surprised.
Jiang Hongguang also saw Jiang Lan's gaze, and immediately glared at her, and then said to Chu Ning apologetically:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, my roommate is reckless, you Don't be offended.
This girl, seeing that you have reached the eighth level of Qi refining at such a young age, I feel a little dissatisfied.
I just want to perform better if there is a competition. To surpass Taoist brother is to be a fool in the well and to overestimate one's own abilities."
Chun Ning chuckled when he heard Jiang Hongguang speak so sincerely and said:
"Fellow Taoist Jiang Lan's worries are not unreasonable. , I don’t usually fight with others, so I am really weak in this aspect
If there is really going to be a battle of wits, I'm really worried. ”
Hearing what Chu Ning said, Jiang Lan immediately glanced at Jiang Hongguang proudly.
After Jiang Hongguang heard this, not only did he not look worried, but he showed a hint of profound meaning.
This made Jiang Lan feel very strange.
But what Jiang Hongguang was thinking at this moment was, "This fellow Daoist Chu is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. , but he is so low-key and calm.
Based on my inference, there must be something extraordinary about it. ”
Immediately, Jiang Hongguang and Chu Ning started chatting again.
However, most of them were Jiang Hongguang talking and Chu Ning listening.
People from other islands appeared. , Jiang Hongguang briefly talked to Chu Ning about the other party's identity and general strength
This also gave Chu Ning a general understanding of the strength of these islands
Among the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, there are about fifty islands with second-level spiritual veins.
However, there are only twenty islands with relatively large second-order spiritual veins.
These twenty islands all have a monk who is in the middle stage of foundation building.
As for the other thirty, at most they only have monks in the early stages of foundation building.
As for the rest of the islands, there are no foundation-building monks. Although those island owners also have some who have reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
But there are also many monks like Jiang Hongguang who are at the eighth level of Qi refining.
So among the thousands of lakes and islands, although there are many monks, the overall strength is indeed not too strong.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the large platform in the front and sat down on the six chairs one after another.
“These six are the leaders of the Thousand Islands Alliance. The position of the main leader of the Thousand Islands Alliance is implemented on a rotational basis.
They are held by the heads of several alliance leader families. They are the leaders of the Thousand Islands Alliance. The one who controls the face.”
Jiang Hongguang introduced it at this moment.
“However, these people are not necessarily the strongest people in each family. It is said that among these families, there are people in the late stage of foundation building.
So, even those who have foundation building The top ten islands in the mid-term rankings do not dare to have any evil thoughts about the Thousand Islands Alliance.
There is also a saying that the top ten islands are actually inextricably related to these six. . ”
Hearing Jiang Hongguang’s words, Chu Ning felt that this was very likely.
After all, if it were anyone else, he would probably find a way to control islands with more advanced spiritual veins in his own hands.
“It’s Fairy Cen from the Cen family!”
“It’s really Fairy Cen!”
……
At this moment, there was a burst of sound from below A burst of noise reached Chu Ning's ears.
After all, the Thousand Island Competition is a major event in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, so in addition to the island owners of each island, many other monks also came to watch.
This group of people naturally don’t have a high platform like the island owners, so they all gather below.
The noise at this moment is coming from these people.
But the restriction of this high platform can isolate the sound from coming out, but it does not isolate the sound from the outside world.
Hearing the noise, Chu Ning looked over curiously.
On the big high platform at the front, after the six family heads sat down, some more people came out one after another. They seemed to be the descendants of each family.
Behind the person in the middle, there was a woman in white, with a veil covering her face, making it difficult to see her true face.
However, judging from her graceful figure and extraordinary temperament, she does have some charm of a fairy.
“It’s really Fairy Cen!”
At this time, Jiang Lan, who was standing beside Chu Ning, also spoke out.
Even as a woman, her eyes were fixed on the woman in white at the moment.
There was a trace of envy in his eyes and tone:
“I heard that Fairy Cen is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has extremely outstanding cultivation talent, and has successfully built a foundation.
< br>And he has inherited the essence of the Cen family’s formations, and his attainments in formations are among the best in the entire Cen family.
He is known as the first formation mage in Qianhu Qiandao.” >
Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but be a little curious about Fairy Cen.
He couldn't help but ask: "How old is this Fairy Cen?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lan glanced at Chu Ning and said in a complicated tone:
"If the rumors are correct, I am eighteen years old!"
