Chapter 321 Flowing Shadow Stone, exchanging spells
In Shenyin Valley, this is not the first time Chu Ning has arrived.
When Di Yan was passing away, Chu Ning also used the illusion technique to report the news.
The name is Valley, but it is only the valley at the outer entrance of the sect.
There are various peaks of various sizes inside.
Chun Ning landed at the gate of Taniguchi Mountain, and was immediately greeted by two foundation-building monks.
When he saw the identity of Chu Ning Jindan monk, he also said politely:
"This senior, this is Shenyin Valley. I wonder, senior, this is?"
"I have a good friend named Wu Rongfeng who is practicing in the valley now. This time I came here at the invitation of fellow Taoist Wu."
After Chu Ning finished speaking, the foundation-building monk immediately smiled and said:
"It turns out that I came here at the invitation of Master Wu. Senior, please wait a moment while I, the junior, send a message first."
As he said this, the man activated a message talisman.
After a while, two figures flew from the valley.
Chun Ning looked from a distance and found that he knew these two people.
One of them is Wu Rongfeng, and the other is Meng Ling, whom he had met before in Snow Fog Valley.
The two later met again in the Changkong Palace, but they only exchanged a few words, but did not communicate much.
Chun Ning was a little surprised that this woman also came together.
While Chu Ning was thinking like this, the two women had already fled to Chu Ning.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, I have finally come to you!”
Wu Rongfeng smiled at Chu Ning, showing a hint of profound expression, which made Chu Ning feel a little proud. Puzzled.
Before he could reply, Meng Ling also slightly arched her hand towards Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, we meet again!"
"Fellow Daoist Meng!" Chu Ning bowed his hands slightly in return, but the next moment he smiled and said:
"One day We haven’t seen each other for several years, and it’s so gratifying that Fellow Daoist Meng has advanced to the middle stage of Golden Core.”
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chu!”
Wu Rongfeng listened and took over the words with a smile. :
"Fellow Daoist Chu, Junior Sister Meng has just made a breakthrough recently and just came out of seclusion a few days ago.
This mountain gate is not the place for detailed discussions. Let's go in first and then talk."
Speaking, Wu Rongfeng took the lead in leading the way and flew towards the valley.
Meng Ling, on the other hand, was one step behind, walking alongside Chu Ning.
"Before, at the entrance of the Snowy Valley, I was saved by fellow Taoists. Meng Ling always wanted to thank me in person again.
Later, I went to the Fairy City in Iceland several times and heard from Senior Sister Wu that you were practicing in seclusion.
< br>So I didn’t bother you.”
“Fellow Daoist Meng is too polite. Chu was just trying to get out of the valley.”
Chun Ning responded, but felt a little strange.
This Fellow Daoist Meng from Shenyin Valley was a little too polite, even though it was indeed Chu Ning who took action in the first place to let everyone out of the valley.
But after all, it has been more than ten years.
Just as he was thinking this, Meng Ling spoke again:
“By the way, I heard from Senior Sister Wu that Fellow Daoist Chu asked her about Jiuyi Jin and Xing Rui. Sand.
But I don’t know if Fellow Daoist Chu has collected this kind of material over the years.”
"These two materials have been collected."
Chun Ning answered, but his heart moved slightly.
This Tianyin Valley’s news is much better than mine. When the Golden Spirit Sword was refined, it was also thanks to Wu Rongfeng’s information from Shenyin Valley.
Although I have prepared in advance for refining the Water Spirit Sword later and collected some materials over the years, there are still one or two materials that I have not collected.
You can inquire about the Shenyin Valley, maybe you will gain something.
But here, Meng Ling seemed a little surprised when she heard Chu Ning say that both materials had been collected.
At this time, I heard Chu Ning say:
“By the way, Fellow Daoist Meng, I have been looking for several other materials recently.
If it is convenient, please help Let me ask about it.”
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Meng Ling’s eyes lit up and she immediately asked:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I don't know what other weapon refining materials I'm looking for?"
"Liuying Stone and Blue Wave Cold Iron." Chu Ning named the two materials he still lacked.
After Meng Ling heard the names of these two materials, she couldn't help but look thoughtful.
“These two things are really rare. I have to inquire about them in the sect.”
Hearing Meng Ling’s words, Chu Ning also smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"So, thank you Daoist Meng."
After hearing this, Meng Ling smiled sweetly and did not reply.
He then began to introduce the Shenyin Valley to Chu Ning.
Although Chu Ning had been to Shenyin Valley once before, that time it was just a monk who led him into it in a hurry, and then left in a hurry.
This time Meng Ling introduced him, and he had a better understanding.
In fact, it is the same as most sects. Different halls, halls, and pavilions also bear different functions.
However, in the Shenyin Valley, every mountain peak is larger, so the monks are relatively more concentrated.
And according to what Meng Ling said, there are mostly female cultivators in the valley, accounting for about 70%.
“Seventy percent?” Chu Ning was slightly surprised. He had previously known that there were many female cultivators in Tianyin Valley.
But I never knew that there was such a high proportion of female cultivators in this sect.
No wonder some of the monks he came into contact with in Shenyin Valley were female monks.
Hearing the surprise in Chu Ning's eyes, Meng Ling smiled and nodded.
“Actually, Shenyin Valley had no tradition of recruiting male disciples before. Instead, it would introduce some male monks and elders, most of whom were the companions of the monks in the sect.
Later, these monks were born There were descendants, and the number of male descendants gradually increased. Senior Yanzhong made an exception and came to practice in Valley, and then he gradually had male disciples.
But the proportion was naturally not high.
And because the exercises within the sect are mainly suitable for female practitioners, they are not very attractive to male practitioners.
Even among the male cultivators among the descendants of these sects, many have joined other sects. ”
After hearing this, Chu Ning had a look of surprise on his face.
This sect in Shenyin Valley is quite different from the sects he encountered before.
< br>A few people were talking, and Meng Ling and Wu Rongfeng took Chu Ning to a medium-sized mountain peak.
Then they led Chu Ning into a small courtyard. Only then did Wu Rongfeng take over the conversation:
“Fellow Daoist Chu, after all, there are mostly female cultivators in the valley, so there are many inconveniences.
This peak is specially prepared for outside guests. How about you just rest here? ”
Chun Ning nodded noncommittally, and he didn’t mind where he would settle down.
While Meng Ling was brewing the spirit tea with his own hands, he turned to Directly towards Wu Rongfeng:
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you told fellow Taoist Chang Lingshan that I must come to the Shenyin Valley, but I don't know why?"
"This matter is not urgent." Wu Rongfeng said with a smile at this time.
“In a few days, there will be a grand competition held every three years in Bengu. Three years ago, I specially asked fellow Taoists to invite them to the ceremony.
Since we met by chance this time, why not Let’s observe the ceremony in the valley first, and then talk with fellow Taoists in detail after the sect competition.”
When Chu Ning heard this, doubts flashed across his eyes.
I wanted to ask a question, but in the end I held back my words and nodded:
"That's good. I have heard the name of Shenyin Valley from the outside world for a long time. I just happened to take a look at the Taoists in the valley. Friend’s magical power.”
“Fellow Daoist Chu, don’t be disappointed. With Friend Daoist’s magical power, these Qi-training and foundation-building monks’ competitions may not be acceptable to Friend Chu.”
As Meng Ling spoke, she brought a cup of spiritual tea to Chu Ning and stared at Chu Ning with her bright eyes.
“You Taoist friends may wish to try this Yuanyang flower tea. This tea is different from the spiritual tea that Taoist friends taste in the outside world.”
"Mandarin duck flower?" Upon hearing the name, Chu Ning couldn't help but look at the tea cup in front of her curiously.
This was the first time he had heard of this kind of spiritual plant.
But I saw a petal in the cup at this moment. The petal was two-color, half pink and half white, which was very strange.
Meng Ling explained immediately.
“This mandarin duck flower is a unique spiritual flower in our Shenyin Valley. It is named because the flower is shaped like a pair of mandarin ducks leaning against each other. It is graceful and colorful, and its flowers are brilliant.”
Chu Ning was a person who was very interested in spiritual plants. After hearing this, he was immediately curious and picked up the food to taste.
Take a sip, and as soon as the tea enters your mouth, a strong floral fragrance and aura reverberate throughout your mouth.
This floral fragrance is naturally that of mandarin duck flowers.
And the richness of this spiritual energy is the only one Chu Ning has ever drunk.
He even cultivated some spiritual tea himself and asked Bai Ling to ripen it together.
But when it comes to the richness of spiritual energy, it is inferior to this tea.
This is not a question of cultivating spiritual tea, but purely a question of variety.
When Chu Ning drank this sip of tea, he could even clearly feel a strong spiritual energy entering his body.
This is comparable to practicing in a place with rich spiritual energy and absorbing a ray of spiritual energy.
However, the floral fragrance still echoes in the mouth.
“Good tea!”
Chun Ning praised it heartily.
Meng Ling and Wu Rongfeng looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Obviously they are very proud of this Yuanyang Flower Tea.
Wu Rongfeng smiled even more at this moment:
"This Mandarin Duck scented tea, even in our Shenyin Valley, is only served by distinguished guests.
Junior sister Meng is an expert in growing and brewing this scented tea. Many monks in the valley want to take a sip of Meng's scented tea in person. The mandarin duck flower tea brewed by junior sister has no chance.
Speaking of it, I have benefited from you, Daoist friend Chu.”
Chun Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this. Looking at Meng Ling, he asked:
“Is Fellow Daoist Meng actually proficient in this spiritual plant?”
Coming to this northern cold land, Chu Ning rarely saw monks cultivating spiritual plants.
Of course, this is related to the fact that he rarely has in-depth contact with other monks.
In fact, it may be because of the abundant resources for cultivation.
Even when he was in the Ximeng Continent, Chu Ning rarely saw monks cultivating spiritual plants.
This is completely different from when Chu Ning was in Dongsheng Continent.
"I do know a thing or two."
Meng Ling nodded, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
“From what Fellow Daoist Chu means, could it be that Fellow Daoist Chu is also interested in cultivating spiritual plants.”
Chun Ning had nothing to hide at this time and said directly:
"Chu did practice the art of cultivating spiritual plants for a period of time before." "That's great!" Wu Rongfeng quickly picked up the conversation and said with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, I happen to have some things to do these days. In the days before this sect competition, why not let Junior Sister Dao Meng take you around more.
It just so happens that you have interesting topics to talk about, and Fellow Daoist Chu, you can also take a look at the spiritual plants planted by Junior Sister Meng.”
“Then there is Fellow Daoist Lao Meng.”< br>
Chun Ning nodded, he could tell that Wu Rongfeng came to him.
There didn't seem to be anything urgent, but he didn't know what medicine the other party was selling.
However, Chu Ning has been exposed to the cultivation methods of many sects in terms of alchemy, weapon refining, formations, talismans, etc.
On the contrary, this kind of spiritual plant cultivation has never been exposed to other places since it was in Qingxi Sect.
He is indeed interested in some spells from other sects.
So he did not reject Wu Rongfeng’s proposal.
The two women chatted here for a while, and then they both said goodbye and left.
Chun Ning was alone in this courtyard, but he didn’t care.
I might as well start practicing on my own.
Although this peak is not the main peak of the Shenyin Valley, the aura is pretty good.
Chun Ning is not practicing anything like the Nine Evolution Body Refining Awareness at this moment, but is simply practicing the Five Elements Chaos Art.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Meng Ling came outside the courtyard where Chu Ning lived.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, I wonder if you are still used to living in Shenyin Valley?”
Chu Ning smiled and said: “We practitioners don’t pay much attention to the aura here. It’s rich, but it’s quite suitable for cultivation.”
“Meng Ling admires fellow Taoist disciples for their dedication. I heard from Senior Sister Wu that fellow Taoists often stay in retreat for several years.
No wonder. Because he improves so quickly, his magical power is also so powerful."
As he spoke, Meng Ling suddenly reached out and took out something from his storage bag, and then handed it to Chu Ning.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, look at this, is it what you need?”
Chun Ning’s eyes fell on Meng Ling’s hands.
However, he saw that his hand was holding a fist-sized white stone at the moment. There were various lines on it, as if there were water waves flowing.
"Liuying Stone?"
Seeing this white stone, Chu Ning's eyes lit up.
This object is the Liuying Stone that Chu Ning told Meng Ling yesterday, but she didn't expect that she would find it today.
"It was a coincidence. I made some inquiries yesterday and found that a senior sister from the sect had some.
So I asked her for it."
As Meng Ling spoke, she handed the Liuying Stone into Chu Ning's hand.
Chun Ning naturally took it with joy, and then asked Meng Ling:
"Fellow Daoist Meng, it is the fellow Taoist from the Ignorance Sect who wants to take this stone. What to exchange for?”
Meng Ling said with a smile:
“I have already given you what senior sister needs.”
"Does Fellow Daoist Meng have anything that is urgently needed? There are some materials for refining elixirs and weapons here." Chu Ning asked hurriedly.
Meng Ling thought for a while and said: "I haven't decided what I want yet.
Fellow Taoist is still here these days, let me think about it again."
Chun Ning thought it was okay, so she nodded and put the Liuying Stone back into the storage bag.
At this time, Meng Ling invited Chu Ning to his elixir garden.
Chun Ning would not refuse, so he flew with him for a cup of tea and arrived at a cave inside a mountain peak.
"This is my cave. Because I always like to grow elixirs, this cave is a little bigger than other senior sisters."
Meng Ling said, opening the formation restriction, He led Chu Ning into a medicine garden outside the cave.
Suddenly, the breath of the elixir penetrated directly into the tip of Chu Ning's nose.
"Orchid grass, nine-winged flower, ancient rattan bamboo, amethyst fruit..."
Chu Ning looked at the elixirs all over the garden and subconsciously identified them carefully.
Meng Ling listened to Chu Ning naming these elixirs one by one, with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Chu is so proficient in this spiritual plant. Not even a few senior sisters in the sect can recognize the spiritual medicine here.”
“I was really familiar with this before. I'll work hard to understand it," Chu Ning replied calmly.
He was able to know so many elixirs not entirely because of spiritual plant cultivation.
In my previous research on improving elixir recipes, I had to think about the combination of various elixirs, so I naturally had to learn more about the types and effects of elixirs.
Even though Meng Ling grows many elixirs from the northern cold land.
But Chu Ning also spent a lot of time collecting and researching the elixir refined using demon pills.
At this moment, Chu Ning watched Meng Ling plant all these elixirs together, and couldn't help but asked with some surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Meng, many of these elixirs have different medicinal properties. If you plant them cross-wise like this, aren't you afraid that these elixirs will interfere with each other during their growth and ultimately affect their effectiveness?"
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Meng Ling smiled sweetly and did not directly answer Chu Ning's words.
But he stretched out his bare hand and punched out a series of spells, which landed on several spiritual plants.
At this time, Meng Ling said to Chu Ning: "Fellow Daoist Chu, feel it again."
"Huh?" Chu Ning felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy on these spiritual plants for a moment. , his eyes suddenly showed some surprise.
“The aura on these spiritual plants seems to be locked somewhere, no, it’s not just the aura.
Even the essence on these spiritual plants seems to be locked. "
Speaking of this, Chu Ning asked Meng Ling again:
"Fellow Daoist Meng, if I am not wrong, can pollen and the like be locked in it? Overflow."
"Yes!" Meng Ling nodded slightly.
“This spell is equivalent to casting an invisible aura shield on it.
Later, it will be nourished by the spiritual energy absorbed by the spiritual plant, which can be maintained forever. "
Chun Ning understood immediately after hearing this, and pointed out pointedly:
"It's just that in this way, some of the spiritual energy absorbed by the spiritual plant will also be dispersed. Growth will inevitably be slower. "
Meng Ling nodded, and then continued to use both hands to hold magic formulas and land on these spiritual plants.
"So if I have time, I will use some spirit gathering. Spells can also be regarded as making up for it and promoting the growth of spiritual plants. ”
After seeing this, Chu Ning felt the speed of these spiritual plants absorbing spiritual energy.
He found that although there was a certain acceleration, it was not the same as the Xuan Qing Hua Technique he used. It is far inferior to Qingmu Chunhua Technique.
"Qingxi Sect's differences aside, these two techniques are indeed unique. place. ”
Chun Ning thought to himself and began to ponder a little.
Meng Ling's spell does have certain limitations, but it also has its applicability.
If the same kind of spiritual plant is planted in a large area, it is naturally the most trouble-free to follow your own method and use formation layout to divide the areas.
However, like Meng Ling’s current planting method, some spiritual plants even only have one or two, so many spiritual plants are planted together.
It is naturally inappropriate to use formation restrictions to separate.
On the contrary, this spell is quite suitable.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart.
Immediately made a hand with both hands and cast a series of spells, which was the Aoki Chunhua Technique.
These spells fell on those spiritual plants. After a while, the gathering speed of spiritual energy obviously accelerated.
"This..."
Seeing this, Meng Ling couldn't help but widen her bright eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this spell of yours is very effective in gathering spiritual energy in spiritual plants."
After saying that, Meng Ling raised her head and looked at Chu Ning.
"How about we exchange spells with each other?"
Chun Ning actually had this idea just now when he performed the Aoki Chunhua Technique.
After hearing this, he nodded lightly, and then answered:
“But before the exchange, I have a small condition, and I hope fellow Daoist Meng will agree.
I originally learned this spell from a sect. In order to prevent the spell from being leaked everywhere, we need to swear by our inner demons that this spell can only be used by ourselves and cannot be passed on to others. "
Chu. Although Ning didn't have deep feelings for Qingxi Sect, his cultivation journey started from this sect after all.
Aoki Chunhua Technique and Xuanqing Chunhua Technique are indeed unique. Although he is only showing Aoki Chunhua Technique at the moment, he does not want this spell to be spread all over the place.
When Meng Ling heard this, she readily agreed.
"This is natural. Even if fellow Taoist does not say anything, I will raise this matter.
In fact, there are so many guest elders in this valley, but the sect has never had many inheritance sects.
It is precisely because of this that it is a customary rule of this valley."
Both of them had no objection and immediately took out a blank jade slip. , one after another recorded the spells they cast.
Then they each swore by their inner demons not to leak the spell to a third person, and then they made an exchange.
After getting the jade slips, Chu Ning couldn’t wait to start looking at them.
This spell is the same as the Aoki Chunhua Technique. Although the effect is not small, the level of the spell is not high.
With Chu Ning’s current cultivation level and Yin Mu’s spiritual body’s talent, he was able to master it in a short time.
Although Meng Ling does not have the talent of Yinmu Spirit Body, the practice of Qingmu Chunhua Technique is not very complicated, and it took some time to master it.
In the next few days, Meng Ling would invite Chu Ning to his cave almost every day to exchange some methods of cultivating elixirs and plants.
I don’t know if Meng Ling’s spiritual planting technique was passed down from Shenyin Valley or had another chance. It is different from the spiritual planting technique that Chu Ning had come across in Qingxi Sect before.
After a few days of communication, Chu Ning gained a lot.
Five days later, the sect competition in Shenyin Valley officially began.
In the beginning, it was just a duel between Qi refining disciples and ordinary foundation-building monks. This level of fighting would not be very attractive to Chu Ning.
And Shenyin Valley did not invite Chu Ning to watch.
Only on the last day, Chu Ning was allowed to attend the duel between several late-stage foundation-building monks.
It also gave Chu Ning a certain understanding of the largest sect in Hanyan Continent.
His cultivation method is indeed unique, and he is especially good at using various sounds to launch spiritual attacks.
But it also opened Chu Ning’s eyes.
At the end of the viewing ceremony, Chu Ning finally found Wu Rongfeng, who had not been seen for several days.
I want to ask the other party why they came to me.
