Chapter 177 The Token of the Ancient Sect
“This pattern...”
Chu Ning found a simple piece from among the many things in Song Cheng’s storage bag. He didn’t know what material it was made of. Made brand.
But the pattern in it was extremely familiar to Chu Ning.
On one side of this card is a bird-shaped monster similar to a phoenix.
On the other side, there is a pattern of a monster that resembles a cow body.
Surprisingly, they were the two patterns Chu Ning had seen on the armrests of the two main seats in the ancient sect ruins hall.
Chun Ning had previously obtained the double fire rings and the thunder bead from the two armrests, and naturally had a deep memory of these two patterns.
"This card must be related to that ancient sect, and these two patterns should be the symbols of that sect."
Chun Ning thought about it in his heart, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Being a casual cultivator in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands certainly has the advantage of freedom, but on the other hand, it also has inconveniences.
The channels for obtaining information are too narrow. Unlike in Qingxi Sect, if you want any information, you can still You can go to the sect to check the information.
And even if you are out to inquire about the activities of thousands of lakes and islands, it is not convenient for you to practice in this cave all year round. "
Thinking like this. Chu Ning's face showed deep thought.
He had thought about this before.
For example, when something happened to the Cen family before, he didn't grasp it in time.
Otherwise, I might still be able to meet Cen Zijin.
“Perhaps we can find two more helpers.
After entering the foundation building, even with so many elixirs and elixirs, my cultivation speed increased more slowly than before.< br>
You must spend most of your time practicing
In this way, he could still take care of rare elixirs such as the Flame Wood Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.
I really don’t have so much energy to take care of some other ordinary spiritual plants and elixirs. ”
However, Chu Ning is not unable to use these spiritual plants and elixirs.
After all, the Qingmu Yuanyang Pill in his hand is only enough for about half a year, and he will refine it later.
Like Yuanyang fruit and many auxiliary elixirs, we still need them.
"Speaking of which, many of these dozens of acres of spiritual fields have been abandoned for more than half a year. It’s also good to have one or two people to help you take care of it together. "
Thinking like this, Chu Ning looked at some other things on a few people.
Chun Ning naturally put away some elixirs and the like, and those elixirs Not to mention the stone.
As for the magical artifacts, there were a few that attracted Chu Ning's attention.
Among them was a flying boat.
"Each person has one of these magic weapons in his storage bag. Judging from the refining method, it is extremely old.
It seems that they should have obtained it from the outer hall."
This way. Once it comes, Chu Ning naturally doesn’t feel any pressure when using it.
As for the other good magical weapons, Chu Ning hasn’t paid much attention yet.
After all, Chu Ning now has magic weapons for both attack and defense.
Chun Ning took a liking to this flying boat at a glance.
After all, the wind-chasing shuttle he purchased before was only a high-level magic weapon and was no longer enough for him to use.
And this flying boat is not only a top-notch magic weapon, but also looking at its size, it can carry up to six or seven people.
Chun Ning gave it a try, and found that its speed was more than twice as fast as the previous wind-chasing shuttle.
He is naturally satisfied with using this object as a flying weapon from now on.
After processing all these things a little, Chu Ning made some adjustments to the layout of the cave the next day.
On the third day, Chu Ning came directly to Jiang Hongguang’s cave.
"Senior Chu, why are you here in person? If you have anything to do, just send a message."
As soon as Jiang Hongguang heard Chu Ning's arrival, he immediately went out to welcome Chu Ning in. in the hall.
“Foundation Building Monk!”
As soon as Chu Ning entered the hall, he immediately caused a commotion inside, but there were more than twenty people standing inside.
Most of these people are in the middle stage of Qi refining, and only one or two people are in the late stage of Qi refining, and they are only at the seventh level of Qi refining.
Chun Ning followed into the hall with a smile, and glanced at everyone in the hall with some surprise.
"Oh? Jiang Daoyou has a guest?"
Jiang Hongguang smiled and said to Chu Ning:
"Senior Chu, this hidden spiritual vein is still good for the concentration of spiritual energy on our Feihong Island.
In the past two years, some spiritual fields have been opened on the island. The outside world didn't know about this before, so I just It's hard to tell the outside world.
But now that everyone in the Thousand Islands Alliance knows about it, and there are foundation-building monks like Senior, I just want to take care of these spiritual fields. If you rent some out, you can also get more spiritual stones.”
Hearing Jiang Hongguang’s words, Chu Ning naturally understood that these people were those who were planning to come to the island to rent spiritual fields.
Immediately smiled and said directly:
"That's good, I just want to find two people to help me take care of the spiritual field."
Chun Ning's words There was no sound transmission, so everyone in the hall heard it. For a moment, a hint of excitement flashed on the faces of many Qi Refining monks in the hall.
Being able to take care of the spiritual fields for a foundation-building monk is far better for them than renting some spiritual fields to grow on their own.
Just when everyone was excited and ready to welcome Chu Ning’s selection.
At this time, Chu Ning suddenly looked at an old and young man and woman in the crowd.
"Are you two willing to come to my cave?"
The thin old man who was questioned by Chu Ning was slightly stunned at first, but the next moment, his face suddenly became overjoyed.
"Junior is willing."
After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, come with me."
Suddenly, The thin old man followed Chu Ning out of the hall with the girl in full joy.
Jiang Hongguang was about to leave when he saw Chu Ning, so he immediately sent Chu Ning out the door.
Everyone left in the hall was disappointed and envious.
“That old man Cheng is really lucky to be favored by a foundation-building monk.”
"Perhaps, that senior is interested in his little granddaughter."
...
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.
The middle-aged monk who had just spoken out his words also realized that he should not have said nonsense, and his face turned pale.
Fortunately at this time, Chu Ning had already led a few people out of the yard, and it seemed that they did not hear what he said.
Chun Ning really didn’t pay attention to the chatter of the low-level monks behind him.
If he really wanted to hear it, with his spiritual consciousness, he could hear it clearly even from Jiang Hongguang's entire cave.
As for whether he would choose the old and the young, it is also very simple.
These two people were clearly the pair of grandfather and grandson he met when he was pretending to be chased by the toad demon on the lake a few days ago.
After leaving Jiang Hongguang’s cave, Chu Ning also asked for their names.
The thin old man's name is Cheng Zuyuan, just let Chu Ning call him Old Man Cheng, and the little girl's name is Cheng Xinxin.
At this moment, the two of them naturally did not know that the foundation-building monk in front of them was the person they met two days ago.
Chun Ning naturally had no intention of telling the two of them, but he casually asked:
"Old man Cheng, where did you make a living before? Why did you suddenly think of coming to Feihong? Island?" When Cheng Zuyuan heard Chu Ning's question, he immediately replied politely:
"Reporting to senior, I used to take my young granddaughter to make a living by fishing for spiritual fish near Qingshi Island and Shuiyun Island.
I accidentally got the corpse of a first-level high-level monster that was killed two days ago, and I could sell some spiritual stones
That’s all I wanted to do. Find a spiritual field to farm, which will be more stable."
Chun Ning just nodded slightly and didn't ask too much.
He chose Old Man Cheng not only because of the affinity between the two, but also because of what he said to Cheng Xinxin later.
Although helping to plant and take care of the spiritual field does not expose him to too many secrets.
But Chu Ning naturally hopes to find someone who is cautious, calm and strict-tongued.
Cheng Xinxin only has the second level of Qi Refining, and the wind control speed is too slow.
After thinking about it, Chu Ning released a flying boat directly from the storage bag.
He said to the two of them:
"Come up, you two, I will take you to the cave."
This flying boat is what he collected yesterday and two days ago.
That’s it for Cheng Zuyuan. After all, he is older and he should have seen some things even if he has never used them.
When Cheng Xinxin stepped onto the flying boat, she immediately looked around with a look of surprise.
Chun Ning casually cast a magic shield around the two of them, and the next moment, he soared into the sky in the little girl's shining eyes, and flew away towards Yan Feng in a blink of an eye.
In just a short while, Chu Ning led the two of them outside the cave.
"There is a formation here. Follow me and be careful not to go astray."
Chun Ning turned to Cheng Zuwu and Cheng Xinxin and warned them. He immediately followed behind him carefully.
Bringing the two of them to an open space outside Lingtian, Chu Ning turned to Cheng Zuyuan and said:
"You guys just build a house here and live here in the future. ..."
As he spoke, Chu Ning handed Cheng Zuyuan another token for entering and exiting the perimeter of the formation.
Even if it is simply to settle the other party.
As for how to arrange the place to live, it is naturally up to the other party.
In the following days, Chu Ning told Cheng Zuyuan everything he had to do every day.
And tell the other party to inquire about the bigger news about Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands from time to time.
The grandfather and grandson have officially settled down.
As for Chu Ning, she was cultivating wholeheartedly in the cave.
Time flies so fast, two months have passed in an instant.
In the past two months, Chu Ning has gained something.
The three kinds of spiritual fruits that were accidentally formed by the mixture of spiritual fruits, Chu Ning had been waiting for so long, and he had obviously lost his expectations.
But after trying it for a while, I unexpectedly discovered that its effect on body training is even better than that of the Tieyang Fruit.
This fruit was named Iron Yuan Fruit by Chu Ning, and became an auxiliary object for Chu Ning’s body training.
Chun Ning also took this opportunity to think.
In the past two months, he designated multiple small areas in the elixir garden and began to try various hybrid elixirs.
In addition to the iron stem orchid, Yuanyang fruit, and Jinyuan fruit that he had used before, he also tried some spiritual fruits brought from the spiritual realm such as the Flame Wood Twin Fruit.
He even took out the Iron Soul Flower and tried it.
Since there are only a few strains of each type of hybrid fruit, Chu Ning also wants to see if there will be any surprise discoveries later.
That day Chu Ning was practicing in the cave, and suddenly Old Man Cheng's voice came from outside.
"Sir, I have something important to report."
Chun Ning is only in his twenties after all, and it feels a little awkward for a man who is nearly fifty years old to call him "senior" every day.
So he asked the other party to change his name to Young Master.
At this moment, hearing Old Man Cheng's shouting, Chu Ning walked out of the cave and came to the peripheral Lingtian area.
Rather than looking at Old Man Cheng immediately, Chu Ning's eyes fell on Cheng Xinxin.
"The little girl has reached the third level of Qi Refining? Not bad."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cheng Xinxin, who was wearing two pigtails, immediately bowed and saluted:
"Thank you for the elixir, sir. Xinxin just made a breakthrough a few days ago."
At this time, Cheng Xinxin's eyes were dazzling on her face, with a look of excitement that could not be concealed.
But a month ago, Chu Ning saw that Cheng Xinxin was very talented and had reached the peak state of the second level of Qi Refining, so he casually gave him a few low-level pills.
I didn’t expect that the other party would use this to break through and reach the third level of Qi Refining.
Chun Ning nodded, receiving a courtesy from the other party, and then turned his gaze away from Old Man Cheng.
"Old Cheng, you just want to tell me this."
"No, it's about the Song family's affairs in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands." Old Cheng immediately shook his head and said.
“What happened to the Song family?”
When Chu Ning heard this, he asked Old Man Cheng to continue talking, and he finally understood the general story.
Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Chu Ning.
After several foundation-building monks from the Song family died at the hands of Chu Ning, there was no big commotion at first when Song Li stepped in to stabilize the overall situation.
But as time went by, Song Cheng and the others did not show up, and even people knew that something must have happened.
There was originally a relative balance in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. The Cen family had previously voted for the Chen and Shi alliance, which had already slightly broken the balance.
But now that the Song family's strength has suddenly been greatly reduced, this balance can no longer be maintained.
“A group of robbery cultivators jointly attacked the Song family, except for Song Li who escaped in the late stage of foundation building.
The rest of the Song family were wiped out, and the remaining five families of the Thousand Islands League were furious. A tracing order was issued across thousands of lakes and islands, vowing to track down the murderer."
When Cheng Zuyuan said this, there was a hint of sarcasm on Chu Ning's face.
He asked meaningfully:
"The Song family has always been on good terms with the Liu family and the Huo family. When the Song family was attacked, they did not show up to help resist."
Cheng Zuyuan said with a strange expression:
"It is said that that day, the families of the Thousand Island League discussed the Thousand Island Competition.
Song Li, the ancestor of the Song family, left in anger for some reason and took the Song family away from the Thousand Island Palace.
He returned directly to them This happened on the Song family’s own island at night, and everyone was beyond their reach.”
“It’s beyond our reach.” Chu Ning chuckled.
“Although several foundation-building monks of the Song family are missing, there are still late-stage foundation-building monks like Song Li.
There should also be a few familiar foundation-building island owners. This group of For Jie Xiu to be able to force the Song family into this situation, either there were late-stage Foundation Establishment monks to take action
Or there were many Foundation Establishment monks joining forces. Which family in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands could do this? Such strength."
Chun Ning did not directly name the five families, but Cheng Zuyuan could also hear them.
In fact, no one with a little bit of brains among these thousands of lakes and islands can’t guess it.
It’s just a matter of whether anyone is willing to say it.
Chu Ning naturally didn't want to pay attention to these things about dogs biting dogs with hairy mouths.
He said to Cheng Zuyuan: "Okay, I know about this, and it has nothing to do with me."
Cheng Zuyuan immediately answered:
"Sir, I'm afraid I have something to do with you."
After hearing what the other party said, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
