Chapter 624 The storm is coming
Return to the secret room on the fifth floor of the Treasure Pavilion from the ice cave again.
Chu Ning is much more calm this time than he was decades ago.
"Bai Ling, take out all those ice crystal leaves and see how many there are."
Bai Ling had turned into a human form at this moment. When he raised his hand, a pile of ice crystal leaves appeared in front of the two of them.
Chu Ning glanced over with his spiritual consciousness, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Nine hundred pieces, not bad! This is much more than what was collected in the Changkong Palace before."
Chu Ning could roughly guess that the previous master of the Changkong Palace who practiced ice attribute skills probably collected it in a similar way.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough energy in my body, otherwise I could stimulate this giant tree to do another wave."
Chu Ning smiled and put all the ice crystal leaves into the storage bag.
The Yuan Power in his body mainly relies on fellow practitioners of Dual Methods.
Then the driving force is to use the third volume of Jiuyan Body Refining Technique.
This method does allow Chu Ning to use Yuan Li during a magic fight, but the shortcomings are also obvious. Yuan Li cannot be endless like mana.
Just now he continuously drove the Destruction Hammer and the Xuanxiao Mirror, especially the Xuanxiao Mirror which required too much energy.
Now that there is not much energy left in the body, naturally he does not dare to fight anymore.
However, getting 900 pieces of ice crystal leaves, plus two roots of the ice crystal giant tree, was a big gain for Chu Ning.
Of course, a bigger gain is that he has basically tested the power of the Xuanxiao Mirror.
The ice crystal giant tree should be comparable to the existence of the demigod in this world, but the Xuanxiao Mirror can still bring enough damage to it.
This means that even if he is facing a demigod, Chu Ning still has the means to make him extremely fearful.
This made Chu Ning feel at ease.
Ever since he came into contact with the demigod realm in this world, Chu Ning has always had a sense of crisis.
Because he knew very well that once a monk of this level attacked him, he didn't have much ability to resist before.
Now at least I have the ability to protect myself.
Putting away the ice crystal leaves, Chu Ning took out two more large jade boxes, put the two tree roots that he had just chopped off, and affixed sealing talismans on them.
An additional layer of sealing restrictions was added to it.
Chu Ning has already tried to use the Yuanli mark left on the roots of the ice crystal giant tree, Mo Mie, and it is not particularly complicated.
But at this moment, Chu Ning didn't have time to deal with it.
For Chu Ning, the ice crystal cold light that entered his body was the highlight.
This was not the first time that Chu Ning was hit by the cold light condensed from ice crystal leaves, so he didn't feel much panic at the moment.
However, to be on the safe side, it is natural to deal with it first.
Chu Ning had clearly felt before that the destructive power of these ice crystals and cold light on him was not so strong.
Thinking about it, it would be easier to remove the refining.
After all, entering the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength has been significantly improved.
After returning to the cave, Chu Ning continued to use the Purple Sun Spiritual Flame to wrap and seal the ice crystals in his body.
Immediately, he began to practice the second level of the Chaos Immortal Art and the Nine-Evolution Body Refining Art.
After replenishing eighty or ninety percent of the energy in his body that had been squandered, he began to replenish the power of the Ziyang Spiritual Flame.
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Ning truly dealt with the cold glow of ice crystals in his body.
Yuanli first uses the demon to destroy its power, and then refines it with the help of the Ziyang Spiritual Flame.
This time, Chu Ning only spent half a month to refine all these ice crystals.
Not only was he not injured at all, but he was improved with the help of the pure vitality cultivation on the ice crystal leaves.
"With the help of ice crystal leaves, the speed of cultivation can be nearly three times that of normal cultivation."
Chu Ning picked up an ice crystal leaf with a look of surprise on her face.
You must know that he is now in the late stage of Nascent Soul, and coupled with the terrifying speed of practicing the Chaos Immortal Art, the speed at which he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is terrifying.
But now with the help of ice crystal leaves, it can still reach about three times the speed.
This is definitely a rare treasure.
"Now I have 900 ice crystal leaves in my hand, plus the original inventory of Changkong Palace, there are nearly a thousand.
These ice crystal leaves no longer have the power of Yuanli, only pure Yuanqi. It will take nearly ten days to refine one by yourself.
In this way, it would be enough for him to practice for thirty to fifty years. ”
After chanting, Chu Ning casually took out the two roots of the giant ice crystal tree from the storage bag.
Follow the previous method and begin to eliminate the Yuanli aura on it.
After three days of this, four tree roots were placed in front of Chu Ning.
"The roots and leaves of the ice crystal giant tree can condense the energy, which means that it is very likely that it can absorb spiritual energy and energy at the same time.
If you want to plant it yourself, you have to set up a formation that allows the source stone to release its source power. ”
Chu Ning is not short of source stones now.
In the past twenty years or so in Snow Mist Valley, he had explored all the caves deep in the valley.
Naturally, this also includes the cave of the original power.
A hundred years later, many Origin Stones were once again born in this cave.
Chu Ning even harvested a drop of original water there again.
He was actually very curious about the source vortex behind it, and he didn't know what a mysterious place it was that could continuously give birth to the source power.
However, Chu Ning still has an instinctive awe for the original power.
He didn't dare to enter rashly when he couldn't figure out what was going on below.
After wandering around the Xuefeng Mountains behind the Changkong Palace, Chu Ning found a place where ice crystal giant trees were planted and arranged.
With the help of the spiritual plant planting technique that he had mastered before, Chu Ning tried to find a way to cultivate and plant it.
What makes Chu Ning happy is that some of the previous spells that gathered spiritual energy to promote growth are also effective in the growth of giant ice crystal trees.
In just over a month, a small sapling has grown.
It's just that this sapling is very short and has not yet grown the ice crystal leaves that Chu Ning is familiar with.
But only the trunk and branches.
The growth above the ground is very slow, but the roots in the snow grow very quickly.
Sensed by Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness, he could clearly see that in the snow, the roots of the giant ice crystal tree had grown a little over ten feet.
This is much better than the trunk and branches growing above the tree surface.
Knowing that this was probably the habit of the giant ice crystal tree, Chu Ning accepted it.
In the following time, Chu Ning practiced the second level of the Chaos Immortal Technique while pondering over the subsequent techniques.
At the same time, the ice crystal tree was cultivated.
One year later, the growth of the ice crystal tree became normal. In addition to the well-developed root system and continued growth, small leaves also began to grow.
However, these leaves do not contain much spiritual energy and original power for the time being.
Chu Ning was not in a hurry.
After all, the ice crystal giant tree in the ice cave had grown for who knows how many thousands of years to reach such a scale.
Chu Ning did not expect to have leaves as energetic as the ice crystal giant tree.
As long as it can be cultivated for daily practice, it is enough.
Chu Ning looked at the ice crystal tree in front of him and cast a few spells to help it grow.
Immediately, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"I still don't know when the Ice Crystal Tree will be able to really help me practice. But for the Purple Yuan Fruit, I brought the seeds of the Purple Yuan Fruit from Wuling Island, and I started cultivating them from Beihan.
But in the end, he stayed in Jiuhua Sect and asked Zijin to help take care of him. ”
With this thought flashing through his mind, Chu Ning raised his head and looked at the sky, with a trace of longing in his eyes.
It has been almost eighty years since we parted ways with Cen Zijin, and now he has officially begun to practice the second level of Chaos Immortal Art.
Changkong Palace is also very stable, and he does have plans to return to Jiuhua Sect.
After this thought came to mind, Chu Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.
The journey from Beihan to the Ximeng Continent is not short, especially since it has to pass through the boundless sea, and his ten thousand-year spiritual milk is not too much.
It would be a pity if they were all used up on the way like this.
"However, I am now practicing Chaos Immortal Art and have reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, so the time I need to replenish my mana is reduced.
However, you can get some magic-recovering treasures from the Changkong Palace, and you don't necessarily have to use the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk. ”
When this thought appeared, Chu Ning was suddenly moved.
There must still be such treasures in the Changkong Palace.
If it really doesn't work, there is always no problem in getting some treasures and refining several furnaces of elixirs.
With this in mind, Chu Ning prepared to go to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look.
At this moment, a communication talisman fell into the restriction outside the cave.
Chu Ning waved over and took a look.
Then he walked out of the cave with a calm face and came to Tianchang Pavilion from the restricted passage.
"Hall Master!"
In the Tianchang Pavilion, Lu Ziyou and Ren Heng stood in the pavilion.
Chu Ning glanced around and found that several Nascent Soul cultivators were present in the hall, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Since he became the master of the palace, the responsibilities and powers of several Yuanying monks have been clarified, and it is rare for several people to come together like this.
"Everyone is here together. Is there anything important?"
Chu Ning sat down at the main seat in the hall and asked casually.
Ren Heng answered at this time:
"Hall Master, Phantom Spirit Sect has been making various small moves in the past six months. After some discussion, we feel that this matter still needs to be decided by the Hall Master himself."
"The Phantom Sect's little move?"
Chu Ning was slightly surprised at this time.
"What little move?"
"We have found out that the Phantom Spirit Sect has recently recruited many casual cultivators to join the Phantom Spirit Sect.
Some sect forces in the sea area around Haiyun Basin have also been recruited by him.
The Phantom Sect seems to be eager to increase its power, which is really unusual. ”
Hearing Ren Heng's words, Chu Ning was slightly surprised.
Among the three continents of Beihan, Haiyun Basin is the smallest in area and relatively weak in strength.
Although the Phantom Spirit Sect is the dominant sect, it does not have as many top combat powers as Changkong Palace.
Therefore, in most cases, the Phantom Sect does not recruit too much from the surrounding small sect forces and casual cultivators.
After all, even if they are recruited, they may not be able to provide enough resources.
"Is there any further news?"
After Chu Ning asked, Lu Ziyou took the words and responded:
"According to the news from the monks installed in the Haiyun Basin, Yu Taoxing seemed to have gone out a few years ago and then came back half a year ago.
And there is news that other monks seem to have returned to the sect with him.
It is very likely that he is a monk at the late stage of Nascent Soul. ”
"Oh?"
Chu Ning was surprised.
As the largest force in Beihan, Changkong Palace actually has a certain degree of monitoring of all major sects.
These extremely secretive secrets are often able to obtain some sect secrets, and it is the relatively calm Lu Ziyou who is in charge.
Since Lu Zi has the news from Anzi here, there can be nothing wrong.
Moreover, at the level of a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage, he could still be detected by the Anzi of Changkong Palace, which only showed one possibility.
In fact, these people don't really want to hide their traces.
"Where did the Phantom Spirit Sect come from in the late Nascent Soul stage?"
After hearing Chu Ning's inquiry, Lu Ziyou and Ren Heng shook their heads.
Lu Ziyou hesitated and said:
"There are only a few late Nascent Soul monks in Beihan, but the one who appears will definitely not be the island owner of Xuanfeng Island, otherwise the monks in the temple will not be able to recognize him."
"Beihan doesn't have it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other places." Chu Ning said calmly at this moment.
Lu Ziyou and others also said with serious expressions:
"We also speculate that monks from other continents may have come to Beihan, but there have been almost no outside monks in Beihan for thousands of years.
But I don’t know…”
"It should be from Tianmu Continent."
Chu Ning interrupted Lu Ziyou without waiting for him to finish.
"In the past thousands of years, perhaps there really were no foreign monks appearing in Beihan.
But don’t forget where the trouble happened to Fan and Lu, fellow Taoists, and Tantai Ze of the Phantom Sect.
Also, how did I come to Beihan again. ”
As soon as Chu Ning said this, everyone else fell silent.
In fact, they had already made speculations, but it was difficult to tell because of Chu Ning's identity.
Chu Ning said faintly at this moment:
"What you may not know is that tens of thousands of years ago, a group of late Nascent Soul monks came to Beihan from Tianmu Continent.
There was an ancient teleportation array between the two continents.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the monks from Tianmu Continent will appear here.
The only thing we need to confirm now is why these monks came.
Judging from the actions of the Phantom Sect in this short period of time, it seems that they are most likely coming towards our Changkong Palace. ”
A cold light flashed in Chu Ning's eyes at this moment.
The monks from the Tianmu Continent will appear here, and they will also get involved with the monks from the Phantom Sect.
Then it might be the monks of the Demonic Sect. After all, Fan Zexian, Lu Xuedao, and Tantaize were able to use the teleportation array to travel to the Tianmu Continent.
Of course Yu Taoxing can do that.
And the teleportation point that the teleportation array leads to is exactly within the scope of the Demonic Sect.
Although decades have passed, since Lord Mosha has repaired the teleportation array, it is impossible for him to leave it unattended.
When Yu Taoxing teleported from Beihan, he most likely came into contact with the Demonic Sect.
Presumably, Yu Taoxing and Mo Shamen would all suspect the disappearance of Tantai Ze and Huang Kui on themselves.
In this way, there is a greater chance that they will come after you.
Thinking like this, what Chu Ning said next moment immediately made several Nascent Soul monks present in Changkong Hall look horrified.
"If the monks from the Tianmu Continent really come, maybe they are not just in the late Nascent Soul stage, but there may be monks in the demigod realm.
The storm is coming, Beihan, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down anymore! ”
