Chapter 158: How to Break Through the Bottleneck of Physical Training

"You should have heard some rumors outside that our Cen family's formations were actually inherited from a large sect.

Cen Zijin said and Chu Ning nodded.

He had indeed heard Chen Wangdao say it when he first arrived in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.

However, there is no accurate information about the specific sect inheritance.

Cen Zijin also continued:

“There are indeed rumors within the family, but I don’t know exactly what kind of inheritance it is.

My grandfather, who was also the new head of our Cen family, told me a long time ago after discovering that I had a talent for formations.

I hope I can help the family unlock the secret of inheritance. These were also his last words. "

When he said this, a trace of sadness flashed in Cen Zijin's eyes.

It can be seen that she must have a deep relationship with the other party.

Sure enough, the next moment, Cen Zijin said:

“My parents died unexpectedly not long after I was born, and I was raised by my grandfather.

When he passed away, I was only fourteen years old. At that time, this was his only last word.

According to my grandfather, if we can truly unlock the secret of family inheritance, it may not be worse than that of the big sects.

Therefore, I have always been just the registered disciple of my master and have not officially joined the sect. "

Chu Ning did not interrupt the other party's story, and Cen Zijin continued:

“But until now, I still don’t know what the secret of the Cen family’s inheritance is, because according to our family’s rules.

Only the head of the family can master the secret of this inheritance, and it is passed down orally.

Although I have shown excellent cultivation talent since I was a child, I was still young when my grandfather passed away.

Moreover, the foundation had not yet been established at that time, so the position of head of the family fell to the uncle. "

Hearing this, Chu Ning vaguely guessed something.

Sure enough, Cen Zijin's subsequent speech also confirmed his general guess.

Cen Zijin relied on his excellent talent and the guidance of famous teachers to complete the foundation building when he was less than seventeen years old.

However, Cen Zijin's uncle, Cen Wenquan, the current head of the family, did not hand over the position of head of the family to Cen Zijin.

Instead, they secretly suppressed Cen Zijin within the clan.

Fortunately, there are some people in the family who support her, so Cen Wenquan doesn't dare to go too far.

It is also well known that Cen Zijin's formation skills are unparalleled in Qian Lakes and Thousand Islands, so Cen Wenquan simply handed over Cen Zijin's workshop to take care of it.

The euphemistic name is to give Cen Zijin an opportunity to exercise.

And privately, if Cen Zijin can expand the business of Cen Gongfang, it will bring more resources to the family.

The position of the head of the family was passed down to Cen Zijin.

And this is why Cen Zijin is eager to find Chu Ning to cooperate and trade.

"The other five companies of the Thousand Islands League do not want us to become bigger as we have always been neutral, and some of us in the Cen family do not want me to make Cen Gongfang really good."

Cen Zijin's eyes dimmed a bit at this moment.

"The so-called No. 1 Fairy in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and the First Formation of Dharma Masters, is just a false name, and it has never brought me anything.

Even on Pinghu Island..."

Speaking of this, Cen Zijin paused slightly.

Chu Ning followed her words.

"Do you suspect that those two monks were invited by your family?"

Cen Zijin looked towards the distance and the lake, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"That's not necessarily true. In the past two years, my uncle has always wanted to get closer to the Chen family and the Shi family.

Naturally, the other three companies don't want to see this situation, and they may take action. "

Chu Ning frowned slightly and said with some confusion:

"You should be against it. The other three companies don't want to see this situation, so they should support you.

Why are you thinking of assassinating you? "

"The son of the head of the Chen family has a good talent for cultivation. He has already reached the point of perfecting Qi at the age of twenty-five. He should be within a few years of building a foundation. The uncle intends to marry the two families."

After hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning finally understood.

This head of the Cen family has a good trick, if it really succeeds.

Not only did he achieve his goal of getting closer to the other two families, but Cen Zijin naturally could no longer compete for the title of head of the Cen family.

Chu Ning looked at Cen Zijin who looked melancholy at this moment, and asked with some confusion:

"Since your master is a strong man in the golden elixir, it shouldn't be difficult to solve this matter if he comes forward."

Cen Zijin smiled bitterly and said:

"Master has always been quite dissatisfied with me staying here in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands. If there is a stalemate with the family here, she would be very happy."

When Chu Ning heard this, he shook his head slightly.

The number one fairy in a thousand lakes and islands did not expect that his situation would be so unsatisfactory.

No wonder even the family was unwilling to return after the other party was injured.

I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that Cen Zijin has never had the so-called airs of a foundation-building monk.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ning suddenly said:

"You want to fulfill your grandfather's last words and live to decipher the secret of this family inheritance.

Since this path cannot satisfy you, why not change your mind? "

"Change your thinking?" Cen Zijin turned his head and looked at Chu Ning, with a hint of confusion in his beautiful eyes.

At this time, Chu Ning also looked into the distance and said softly:

"If you can't afford to offend, why can't you hide?

Why not live for yourself, pursue immortality, and get back everything you want after you have the strength. "

Speaking of this, Chu Ning chuckled and said:

"If you form a golden elixir and ask about the family inheritance, will your uncle dare not give it to you?"

Cen Zijin was slightly startled when he heard this.

She never seemed to think about things from this perspective.

But gradually, her bright eyes became clear.

In just a moment, it regained its previous glory.

"What fellow Taoist said, I really haven't thought about it before."

Chu Ning looked at Cen Zijin's expression at this moment and knew that although the other party was touched, he had not made up his mind.

He didn't try to persuade her any more, but continued to look at the blue waves of the lake in the distance.

"On the journey of cultivating Taoism, some bonds must be severed eventually."

Cen Zijin took a deep look at Chu Ning, turned his eyes to the distance, and said no more words.

…

Over the next month or so, the two returned to their previous days.

Cultivation to practice, healing to heal.

However, the time the two occasionally communicated together seemed to be a little longer than before.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

After lunch that day, Cen Zijin looked hesitant and finally said:

"Chun Ning, I have fully recovered from my injury, and it has been too long since I left the Cen family.

Although it was sent back quickly before, if it doesn't show up again, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. "

When Chu Ning heard this, she immediately took out several thick stacks of talismans from her storage bag and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Cen practiced the art of making talismans in seclusion, and developed this method of making talismans from intermediate and low-grade talismans.

Presumably, many monks will be surprised when they return to Qian Huan Dao Fang City. "

Cen Zijin smiled sweetly when he heard this.

"The title of No. 1 Talisman Master in Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands falls on me, not yours."

Chu Ning already had a lot of resistance to Cen Zijin's stunning appearance.

At this moment, he also smiled freely. He wished that the monks here didn't know.

By the way, almost a year has passed since the Thousand Island Competition, and everyone should have almost forgotten about themselves.

Cen Zijin put away his smile and his bright eyes were very clear, as if he was explaining to Chu Ning or telling himself.

"I will give myself three years. If the family is still like this in these three years, then as fellow Taoist said, live for yourself and pursue the Tao for immortality."

When Chu Ning heard this, he smiled and said:

"Okay, I should still be here at Yanfeng within the past three years. Fellow Daoist Cen recognizes me. Come and sit more often when I have time."

"Okay!" Cen Zijin said, and with a sway, he flew out of the formation.

Pausing slightly in the air, Cen Zijin turned his head.

"Next time I will bring spiritual tea for you."

As soon as the words fell, Cen Zijin turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Chu Ning stood there and looked at the sky outside the cave with a calm expression.

"Hey!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao called out.

"There's nothing good to eat."

Chu Ning turned her head, glared at Ling Xiaobai, smiled and cursed:

"Little guy, can you stop being so realistic and just know how to eat?"

When Ling Xiaobai heard this, he called out again with some grievance.

It vaguely remembered that it was the guy in front of it who encouraged it to ask for food.

Cen Zijin left, while Chu Ning continued with his previous days.

Practice, make talismans, cultivate spiritual plants...

Every ten days, Chu Ning will still go to Caiwu Island to hand in the talisman.

It's just that every time, there will be some intermediate and low-grade talismans.

During the three months that Cen Zijin was here, he asked Chu Ning why Liu Ping, who helped Chu Ning hand over the talisman, was not on the island.

Chu Ning just made a joke and said that the other party was the agent he found.

However, Chu Ning felt that the other party should have realized that this was his excuse, but he just didn't expose it.

Chu Ning didn't explain too much. After three months, the two of them learned some of each other's secrets.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed.

On this day, after entering the Lingtian, Chu Ning went straight to the place where Yuanyang Fruit and Tiestem Orchid were hybridized and cultivated.

Looking at the spiritual fruit that had completely turned into iron brown at this moment, his eyes flickered.

Originally, when it first bore fruit, there were still some red spots on the surface of the peel.

But at this moment, there was no red color at all outside the spirit fruit.

This hybrid spiritual fruit is actually the same color as the previous iron stem orchid.

And the size of this spiritual fruit is even smaller.

In the past few days, Chu Ning used the Xuan Qing Hua Technique and found that the spiritual fruit could no longer absorb spiritual energy.

Obviously, this fruit is fully mature and has no further possibility of growth.

But the problem is, Chu Ning can't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from the surface of this spiritual fruit.

"It seems that the cultivation has failed in all likelihood."

Chu Ning shook her head at this moment, and without any hesitation, she picked the fruits from all the trees one by one.

Since it took nearly a year to cultivate, I had to give it a try.

Back in the cave, Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai, then took out a freshly picked fruit and handed it to him.

"Hey!"

Ling Xiaobai glanced at it, then showed a lack of interest and refused to eat.

Chu Ning glanced at the other person, this little guy was quite a ghost.

However, Chu Ning still chose to squeeze the little fruit open.

Suddenly, a ball of red pulp slipped from the spirit fruit, and at the same time, a strong spiritual energy rushed towards his face.

"Very rich spiritual energy!"

Chu Ning looked at the fruit pulp falling into the jade bowl, her eyes flashing slightly at this moment.

"Hey!"

On the side, Ling Xiaobai, who had just ignored Guo Guo, also jumped up.

Looking at the fruit pulp in the jade bowl, I was very greedy.

"Xiaobai, can this be eaten?"

Seeing Ling Xiaobai's look, Chu Ning asked with a smile.

"Ying!!"

Ling Xiaobai kept nodding.

Chu Ning laughed out loud. From the richness of this spiritual fruit, he felt that it must be useful.

Instead of giving it to Ling Xiaobai directly, Chu Ning once again used a few ordinary spiritual rabbits he found on the nearby mountain yesterday to conduct experiments.

Three days later, Chu Ning came to the cave with spring water next door.

He held a spiritual fruit that he had newly named Tieyang Fruit in his hand and squeezed it into a large bucket.

Although this Tieyang Fruit was not big and there was not much pulp.

But when it was squeezed into the large bucket, it quickly dyed the entire bucket red.

Seeing this, Chu Ning jumped directly into the bucket and soaked it.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the results of the experiments in the past few days.

"This Tieyang fruit can actually temper the body, and the effect is much better than the previous Jinlan fruit and Tielan fruit.

The spirit rabbit couldn't stand the fruit pulp directly, and it can only be applied after dilution.

At the same time, taking it directly doesn't work, and there is not much effect."

After several attempts, Chu Ning finally determined that this is the enhanced version of Tielan fruit.

It is not like taking Jinlan fruit, but soaking or applying it is more effective.

After Chu Ning tried it with the spirit rabbit again, he finally decided to soak it.

The main reason is that the absorption of this Tieyang fruit is very slow, and the effect is better if it is soaked for a long time.

As for what kind of help it can bring to his body refining, Chu Ning is not sure.

After all, he has now entered the bottleneck period of body refining. The Jinlan fruit that could increase his proficiency by 2 points before can now increase by 1 point every day for 10 days.

Even starting this month, this time has been extended to 12 days.

Obviously, the bottleneck will be stronger as time goes by.

Jinlan fruit may become ineffective at any time.

At this moment, Chu Ning's body was immersed in the red warm water, and he began to experience the changes in his body carefully.

What made Chu Ning frown slightly was that he didn't feel much in his body.

The usual burning sensation of tempering the body did not appear.

This made Chu Ning's heart sink slightly.

He originally wanted to use the Iron Sun Fruit to see if it was better than the Golden Orchid Fruit.

Now it seems a bit uncertain.

However, Chu Ning also observed that as he practiced the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Technique, the red color in the wooden barrel was indeed slowly fading.

This means that the medicinal effect was indeed absorbed.

However, until the red in the water disappeared completely, the color had returned to normal.

Chu Ning didn't feel anything either.

Shaking his head and standing up from the barrel, Chu Ning wanted to give up, but after thinking about it, he still practiced the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Technique again on the spot.

After practicing once, Chu Ning was just about to stop.

Suddenly, a burning feeling surged from his limbs.

Chu Ning was slightly stunned at first, and the next moment, he was overjoyed.

Feeling the changes in his body, Chu Ning no longer hesitated and practiced the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique again.

And as Chu Ning practiced with his movements.

The burning sensation in his limbs became stronger and stronger.

When Chu Ning practiced for the third time, this burning sensation reached its peak.

And then, when Chu Ning continued to practice, the burning sensation began to gradually decrease.

It was not until Chu Ning completed the six times of practice that it all disappeared.

Chu Ning immediately looked at the proficiency in his mind, and the next moment his face was full of joy.

[Yanhuo Shenmu Gong (Xuanjie Upper Grade), First Level (1754/5000)]

[Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique, First Volume, Unbroken Muscles 784/1500]

[Spirit Refining Technique, Second Level 945/2000]

1 point! The progress of the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique's Unbroken Muscles was actually improved by 1 point in this practice.

You should know that in the past few months, his Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art, under the effect of the Golden Orchid Fruit, also took about 10 days to increase by 1 point.

"This Iron Sun Fruit is actually useful for breaking through the bottleneck of continuous tendons!"

This discovery undoubtedly made Chu Ning extremely happy.

Although such a bottleneck breakthrough is not like the immortal skin and the unblighted bones with the help of the Seven Star Spirit Fruit, it is a big breakthrough in a short period of time.

However, being able to have a chance to break through when facing a bottleneck.

It is enough to make Chu Ning extremely happy.

At this moment, Chu Ning picked up the peel of the Iron Sun Fruit again.

There are still a few small black spiritual fruit seeds in the peel.

Chu Ning collected it and put it into a small jade box.

There are also a few spiritual fruit seeds in it, which he left when he was doing experiments yesterday or two.

Although the previous Golden Orchid Fruit could not be cultivated, the newly cultivated Iron Sun Fruit is different after all, and Chu Ning still wants to make a try.

Then, Chu Ning sat cross-legged in the cave and practiced the Flame Fire God Wood Skill.

After half an hour, he opened his eyes.

"This Yanhuo Shenmu skill has not improved. It seems that this Tieyang fruit is not very helpful for the cultivation of Qi.

But in terms of body training, it is indeed a pleasant surprise."

At this moment, Chu Ning had time to think about the medicinal properties of this Tieyang fruit.

It is obvious that this Tieyang fruit is completely different from the previous Tielan fruit and Jinlan fruit.

The medicinal effects of those two spiritual fruits are immediately exerted after use.

But after using this Tieyang fruit, you have to practice the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique to stimulate the medicinal effect.

The effect of the medicine is hidden deeper, but the intensity of the medicine is also greater.

"Is it possible that the medicinal effect of the Iron Yang Fruit is still partially hidden, and my current practice has not fully stimulated it?"

After Chu Ning had this thought, he was not in a hurry to use the Tieyang Fruit to temper his body.

After all, he had only cultivated ten strains of Tieyang Fruit before, and the total number of them was less than 60 spiritual fruits.

And this fruit is useful for this body-refining bottleneck, so he can't waste it casually.

In the following days, Chu Ning continued to take Golden Orchid Fruit to practice the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique.

What made Chu Ning slightly happy was when he practiced the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique after taking the Golden Orchid Fruit.

It can be clearly felt that the burning sensation in the limbs and bones surges up from time to time.

Just as he thought, the medicinal effect of the Iron Yang Fruit was not fully digested.

After practicing like this for five days, Chu Ning's proficiency in breaking muscles unexpectedly increased by 1 point.

This time is shortened by half compared to simply taking Jinlan Guo before.

"nice one!"

After realizing that the Tieyang Fruit was extremely crucial for his body refining, he focused his energy on it in the next few days.

Chu Ning first transplanted fifty existing Yuanyang fruit and fifty orchid plants each to the same spiritual field.

It just so happens that the two spiritual fruits are about to bloom. In terms of time, if they are cultivated well.

In about half a year, a batch of Tieyang fruits can even be cultivated again.

As for the two hundred iron stem orchids before, pollination of the Golden Dollar Fruit had just been completed again at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Ning decided not to do anything else.

After transplanting the orchid that was originally going to be planted with golden orchids, some spacing was created.

At the same time, about fifty Yuanyang fruit plants were planted crosswise among them.

Anyway, the flowers of the iron stem orchid have not faded so quickly, and the Yuanyang fruit will bloom in about a few days.

Let's just see if any new varieties can be produced by crossing these three types of pollen.

After all, I won’t be able to use so many golden orchid fruits in the future, and cultivating too many golden orchid fruits will be of no use.

After completing the transplantation, Chu Ning came to the medicine garden holding a small jade box.

After a few days, Chu Ning completed the production of Tieyang fruit seeds according to the Zongli Lingzhi seed production method.

Now Chu Ning also wants to try whether the Tieyang fruit can be cultivated directly.

Chu Ning took out a seed from the jade box, placed it in the spiritual soil, and then directly hit it with a hair-raising technique.

At the same time, his spiritual consciousness was released, carefully sensing this change.

The first hair-raising technique went on, but there was no reaction.

Chu Ning fired another triggering spell without any hesitation.

After firing five activation spells in succession, Chu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, with a hint of joy.

Because within the range of his spiritual consciousness, there seemed to be some kind of life force emerging inside this seed.

"The triggering technique works!"

Realizing this, Chu Ning fired one activation technique after another.

Finally, after completing the twenty-fifth hair-raising surgery.

A slender streak of tender green burst out from the black seed!

"This Iron Yang Fruit can be cultivated!"

When Chu Ning saw this, she was immediately overjoyed.

Without any further hesitation, he took out all the Tieyang fruit seeds from the jade box and planted them in the medicine garden one by one.

Now that he discovered that the Iron Yang Fruit could be planted and cultivated, Chu Ning would use one Iron Yang Fruit every three days to increase his body refining speed.

They are also constantly producing Tie Yang Guo seeds.

At the same time, the existing iron stem orchids and Yuanyang fruits that bloomed one after another completed a new round of pollination.

It is conceivable that Chu Ning will be able to harvest a batch of Tieyang fruits in less than a year.

This body-refining bottleneck problem that had troubled Chu Ning for a long time finally had the possibility of a breakthrough.

This morning, Chu Ning was busy in the medicine garden, when a voice came from outside the formation:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, Jiang is here to visit!"

Hearing this voice, Chu Ning walked out of the medicine garden and returned to the semi-open stone room outside.

At the same time, the channel for the formation was directly opened.

After a while, Jiang Hongguang walked in from the passage.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is on time."

Chu Ning said with a smile, but it was exactly half a year since the last time Jiang Hongguang sent the divided spiritual stones.

Jiang Hongguang smiled and said, "Of course we can't forget this."

As he said that, Jiang Hongguang's eyes fell on Chu Ning, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Chu has reached the ninth level of Qi refining?"

Chu Ning smiled and nodded, "Luckily!"

Jiang Hongguang suddenly looked at Chu Ning with envy.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed extremely talented. He has already broken through to the Qi Refining Level at a young age, and there is hope for foundation building.

Jiang has been at the eighth level of Qi Refining for many years. He doesn't know when he will reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It seems that there is no hope for foundation building in this life. "

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is so humble. You are not very old and you still have a lot of time." Chu Ning responded casually.

Jiang Hongguang laughed and said, "That's right. I came to visit fellow Taoist for two things this time."

With that said, Jiang Hongguang took out a small bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and placed it in front of Chu Ning.

"This is my share for the past six months. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for fellow Taoists to carry them, so I have replaced them all with medium-grade spiritual stones."

Chu Ning didn't have any excuses. She reached out and took it and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is interested."

He did ask casually before about the exchange rate between the middle-grade and low-grade spirit stones in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.

Jiang Hongguang was quite concerned.

"You are welcome, Fellow Daoist Chu." Jiang Hongguang said, and took out a red post with a smile.

He handed it to Chu Ning, and said:

"Ten days later, my son will be one month old. I will prepare some wine and invite you to come."

Chu Ning was a little surprised to hear this, but he immediately reached out to take it and said with a smile:

"I was wondering why Fellow Daoist Jiang looked so happy. It turns out that you have a son. Congratulations. I will definitely be there by then."

Jiang Hongguang and his wife were both around 40 years old, and I had never heard them say that they had descendants before.

I didn't expect that they would have another son at this age, which really surprised Chu Ning.

Hearing Chu Ning's congratulations, Jiang Hongguang laughed.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Jiang Hongguang said goodbye and left.

Chu Ning began to think about what gift to give to the other party.

Over the years, Chu Ning has actually stored a lot of things in his storage bag.

But many of these things were obtained by killing other cultivators.

It is not appropriate to give them to a full-moon child, and these things are also afraid that someone will recognize them in the future, which will bring disaster to the other party.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning still felt that it would be more appropriate to give a few talismans.

However, the grade of this talisman cannot be too low. Intermediate talismans are inevitable. As for what kind of talismans.

At this moment, Chu Ning's heart moved slightly.

He didn't have many intermediate-level middle-grade talismans in his hand, mainly bought in Yunhai Pavilion before.

But after experiencing the Spirit Realm and some large and small battles afterwards, he only had one or two in his hand.

However, it seems that he can try to draw this intermediate-level middle-grade talisman.

In fact, after entering the perfection of Qi Refining and being able to make intermediate-level lower-grade talismans, Chu Ning has already begun to use this intermediate-level middle-grade talisman to analyze the source of talismans.

But before, the success rate of making this intermediate-level lower-grade talisman has not been improved.

Chu Ning did not try to make the intermediate-level middle-grade talisman.

After Cen Zijin made this cloud pattern talisman pen two months ago, Chu Ning began to make more primary-level lower-grade talismans.

The success rate of making several primary-level lower-grade talismans that he knows now has exceeded 70%.

It is indeed possible to try to make the intermediate-level middle-grade talisman.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately came to the talisman making room.

After taking out the tools, his mind began to think about an intermediate-level middle-grade talisman called Tushi Lingfu.

This talisman is the earth-attributed defense talisman that Chu Ning bought from Yunhai Pavilion.

The analysis of the talisman source has been completed long ago, and it is just right to try it now.

The difficulty of making an intermediate-level middle-grade talisman is indeed not low. After Chu Ning analyzes the talisman source, he can theoretically complete the talisman making of this kind of talisman.

However, it is not easy to actually try it.

After all, this is a cross-level talisman.

After trying dozens of talismans, Chu Ning finally succeeded in making the first talisman.

This talisman making rate is the lowest since Chu Ning learned to make talismans.

However, after completing the first talisman, the success rate increased rapidly.

In the next few days, Chu Ning kept practicing.

The talisman making rate quickly increased from only about 10% to nearly 30%.

The quality of this talisman is also constantly rising and stable.

Chu Ning picked the three most satisfactory earth arrow talismans, took a piece of jade to make a hollow jade pendant, and put all three talismans into the jade pendant.

When it came to the time agreed by Jiang Hongguang, Chu Ning left the cave and flew all the way to the center of Feihong Island.

Because there were guests from other islands coming today, Jiang Hongguang might also think that it would be bad if too many people knew about this second-level hidden spiritual vein.

So this banquet was not held in his newly opened cave.

Instead, it was set up in the original island master's mansion.

Because the spiritual energy of the first-level spiritual vein was scattered before, Jiang Hongguang did not specially open a cave.

Instead, he built a large courtyard in the center of the island as the island master's mansion.

Chu Ning did not use the wind-chasing shuttle, but directly flew here with the divine wind escape.

After he got this escape technique, he didn't use it much, and he wanted to take this opportunity to try it out.

Flying to the center of Feihong Island, Chu Ning saw a mansion from a distance.

Chu Ning also came here once when he first entered Feihong Island, and then quickly landed in front of this courtyard.

"Is this Senior Chu?"

Chu Ning had just landed in front of the gate, and immediately a 25-26-year-old Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator came forward and asked respectfully.

Chu Ning nodded and said with some surprise:

"Do you recognize me?"

The cultivator immediately bowed and said:

"My master gave me a portrait to recognize me, and asked me to come here to welcome you."

Hearing the words of the young man, Chu Ning was a little amused and sad about Jiang Hongguang's solemnity.

This Jiang Hongguang actually accepted a disciple, which surprised Chu Ning.

But thinking about the fact that among the thousands of lakes and islands, the eighth level of Qi Refining can already be a small island owner, he thought it was normal.

Under the guidance of the young man, Chu Ning had only taken a few steps into the gate, and Jiang Hongguang had already walked out quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is here, Jiang is sorry for not welcoming you in person, please forgive me."

Chu Ning bowed to the other party, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are polite."

As the two talked, Jiang Hongguang led Chu Ning to the hall.

The young man behind him looked at Chu Ning's back with envy.

"I heard from Master that this senior Chu has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is younger than me."

The young man muttered slightly.

Although Chu Ning was farther away, he still heard these words.

At this moment, he smiled and asked: "How many disciples has Jiang Daoyou accepted?"

When Jiang Hongguang heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said:

"Ashamed, I never had any children in my early years, so I just wanted to have a few juniors around me.

He accepted seven or eight disciples one after another, which was quite misleading, but made Fellow Daoist Chu laugh. "

"It's nothing. These people are able to embark on the path of cultivation, thanks to the guidance of fellow Taoist Jiang."

Chu Ning smiled and responded. He just asked casually and didn't mean anything else.

So I didn't ask too much.

At this moment, the two of them entered the hall, where many people were already sitting.

Jiang Hongguang also introduced everyone one by one.

Because Jiang Hongguang's own strength is not outstanding, Feihong Island only had first-level spiritual veins before.

Naturally, most of the people I made friends with were island owners from some of the surrounding islands.

There were eight guests in this hall. Chu Ning glanced at Yun and saw that only one middle-aged monk was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and most of the others were at the eighth level.

Everyone was extremely surprised when they saw that Chu Ning had reached the ninth level of Qi refining.

He is also extremely enthusiastic towards Chu Ning.

After all, they had seen Chu Ning's strength in the Thousand Island Competition a year ago.

At that time, Chu Ning was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

At this time, Jiang Hongguang had already introduced the last middle-aged monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, this is Wen Yanchao from Shuiyun Island, Friend Daoist Wen."

"Nice to meet you!"

After Jiang Hongguang finished speaking, Chu Ning and the middle-aged man named Wen Yanchao immediately bowed their hands and looked at each other.

Wen Yanchao was obviously a little curious about Chu Ning, a young ninth-level Qi refining monk.

What Chu Ning was thinking about at this moment was the identity of the other party.

"Shuiyun Island? The soul-fixing bead that I accidentally purchased at that place where casual cultivators gathered.

It seems that the person got it near Shuiyun Island. "

After Chu Ning arrived, two more people arrived one after another, and everyone was here.

The people in this hall can be regarded as people with some status in this thousand lakes and islands, and they are arranged in a separate hall.

As for the rest of the people on the island, Jiang Hongguang arranged them in other locations.

When everyone came to the table, Jiang Hongguang wanted Chu Ning to sit at the top of the table, but he naturally refused to do so no matter what.

In the end, Jiang Hongguang sat at the top as the master, with Chu Ning and Wen Yanchao on the left and right.

At this time, Yu Yuanxiu came out with the child in his arms, followed by Jiang Lan.

Everyone also took out the gifts they brought.

When Yu Yuanxiu came forward, Chu Ning took out the white jade pendant that he had prepared long ago.

The white jade itself was not a rare thing, so everyone was a little surprised when Chu Ning took out a pendant.

Chu Ning smiled at this moment and said: "This pendant is just a souvenir. Fellow Taoist, this son should have the spiritual roots to enter the cultivation realm.

There are three talismans inside for the nephew to use for self-defense in the future. "

After hearing Chu Ning's words, everyone suddenly realized.

Wen Yanchao smiled at this moment and said: "Everyone has seen Taoist friend Chu's talisman technique for a long time. I think this must be my proud work."

After hearing this, Chu Ning immediately waved her hand and said:

"I can only draw some elementary talismans. It would be too shabby to take them out."

Chu Ning clicked it, but everyone also understood that it was naturally an intermediate talisman.

Everyone immediately couldn't help but take another look at the pendant.

A low-level mid-level talisman costs 200 spirit stones. Chu Ning got three of them, which cost a total of 600 spirit stones.

This is already as much as the income of some of the island owners here in half a year.

"This Chu Ning is quite generous. The income of a Talisman Master is indeed considerable."

No one in the crowd had ever thought about the fact that the talisman contained in it was an intermediate-grade talisman.

After all, this intermediate-grade talisman is within the range of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, and it costs 500 spirit stones and up.

Even if the defensive talisman is of higher quality, it will cost more than 600 spirit stones.

No one thought that Chu Ning would take out more than a thousand spiritual stones as a greeting gift.

However, despite this, everyone at this table was a little more enthusiastic about Chu Ning.

After some exchanges at the wine table, everyone became familiar with each other.

While Jiang Hongguang went to other tables to toast, Wen Yanchao took the initiative to invite Chu Ning and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I heard from Daoist Jiang that you spent most of your time practicing in seclusion.

After leaving customs this time, I wonder if I have time to visit my Shuiyun Island for a few days? "

Upon hearing Wen Yanchao's invitation, Chu Ning replied casually:

"Since friend Wen Dao took the initiative to invite me, Mr. Chu will go and visit him immediately."

Wen Yanchao was slightly surprised when he heard this. He and Jiang Hongguang have been friends for many years.

When I came to Feihong Island before, I once overheard some inquiries about this young monk who helped his friend retain the jurisdiction of the island.

Jiang Hongguang's reply was that Chu Ning had almost no contact with outsiders.

So Wen Yanchao subconsciously thought that Chu Ning was a very withdrawn person.

But he didn't expect that Chu Ning would agree so readily.

Chu Ning felt the color of the other party to some extent and smiled slightly:

“Before, I only wanted to practice hard and reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, so I had little contact with people.

I feel quite depressed during this period of cultivation, and I need to relax a little. It would be great if I could visit Daoyou Wen’s residence.”

“That’s right. The way of cultivation requires relaxation and respite. "Wen Yanchao laughed when he heard this.

After Jiang Hongguang came back, Wen Yanchao told the story, and the island master Jiang was also quite surprised.

So the two sides agreed to go to Shuiyun Island the next day.

In order to make it not too abrupt, Chu Ning also stayed in Jiang Hongguang's house for a while after dinner.

After everyone else left, Chu Ning got up and said goodbye.

As for Wen Yanchao, he said he lived in Jiang Hongguang's house.

The three agreed to set off together the next day when Chu Ning came again.

That night, Jiang Hongguang and Yu Yuanxiu saw that the jade pendant contained a mid-level middle-grade talisman, and they were extremely surprised and didn't say anything for the time being.

Chu Ning returned to his cave, and immediately took out the soul-fixing bead and the jade slip he had received from He Mingjin and examined them carefully.

"This Shuiyun Island was previously called Shuiyun Cave. It is said that this Shuiyun Cave really produced a great man, but the details are unknown. "

Chu Ning looked at this information, his eyes flickered slightly, thinking about some possibilities.

The next morning, after Chu Ning cast a spell on the medicine garden and the spiritual plants, he came directly to Jiang Hongguang's mansion.

The three of them came to Shuiyun Island together.

"Is this island like this all year round? No wonder it is called Shuiyun Island."

After Chu Ning landed on the island, he looked around in surprise.

Although the spiritual energy of this island is not particularly rich, it looks like a relatively advanced first-level spiritual vein.

But the mist is so thick that even Chu Ning's eyesight can't see through it at all.

However, after Chu Ning tried to use his spiritual sense to explore, he found no obstacles.
