Chapter 145 Hidden Spiritual Vein

Chu Ning raised the talisman ring in his hand, and all the real talisman spells in it were emptied.

Then he casually patted his hand from the storage bag and took out five red flame fire talismans.

After waiting for the cooldown period of the real talisman spells in the talisman ring after a quarter of an hour, he integrated all five red flame fire talismans.

At this time, Chu Ning saw a red talisman pattern in the middle of the talisman ring in his palm.

"Talisman seed!"

Chu Ning immediately muttered softly.

After the previous major breakthrough, the hidden talent of the real talisman spirit body was released by Chu Ning.

After using the real talisman spell a hundred times, the talisman seed can be condensed, and the spell can be cast without the help of the talisman ring.

Chu Ning had integrated and used a lot of red flame fire talismans before, and after condensing 5 more just now, it has reached a hundred times.

Chu Ning now senses that even if the real talisman spells in the talisman ring are used up, he can still easily cast this spell.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately raised his hand, and five pillars of fire as big as his forearm were released, directly using up the real talisman spells in the talisman ring.

Then he looked at the talisman in his palm with a flashing eye.

"The second talent of the Wuhuo Spirit Body, using fire attack spells, the spell attack power is doubled.

I just don't know if the spells made of the talisman seeds transformed from the red flame fire talisman will work the same."

While thinking this, Chu Ning's magic power surged around his body and injected into the talisman seeds in his palm.

After the real talisman spells were transformed into condensed talisman seeds, they were no different from the spells he practiced.

Naturally, they were different from talismans, but required his own magic power to support the casting.

The next moment, Chu Ning raised his hand.

Suddenly, a red flame as thick as a bowl flew out of Chu Ning's hand and hit the wall made of spiritual rocks directly.

Suddenly, the whole stone room was full of sparks.

"It really works!"

Chu Ning's eyes lit up.

Whether from the thickness of the red flame or the fluctuation of mana, he could clearly feel the difference between this red flame and the previous one.

In terms of the strength of a single red flame, it has indeed doubled.

"You have already mastered a fire spell, so let's just call it the Red Flame Spell!"

Chu Ning smiled slightly, and then, a jade slip appeared in his hand, which was the Fiery Flame Spell.

"This method is said to be extremely difficult to practice, I want to give it a try."

Muttering in his heart, Chu Ning carefully sensed the spell formula in the jade slip.

After a long while, Chu Ning raised his head, his eyes thoughtful.

"The initial practice of this Fiery Flame Spell is not to directly transform into a monster.

Instead, it starts with a very basic fireball spell to improve your fire control ability."

Chu Ning was a little surprised, but his hands were already moving.

With a raise of his hands, a ball of fire appeared in each hand.

Chu Ning did not send it out, but slowly brought the two balls of fire closer.

"Bang!"

As soon as the two fireballs touched, they exploded directly.

Chu Ning cast a spell to protect himself and avoid getting burned.

Then he shook his head and condensed the two fireballs again, trying to merge them.

This time, less than one-tenth of the two fireballs merged, and then exploded again.

Chu Ning was not discouraged and tried again.

Again and again, Chu Ning forgot to eat and sleep until he tried hundreds of times.

The two fireballs in Chu Ning's left and right hands finally merged together and did not explode.

Unexpectedly, the two fireballs did not grow larger after merging together.

The fireball was still the same size as before.

"A fireball like this is twice as powerful as before!

Add to that the bonus of my noon fire spirit body spell.

If used in a fight, it might cause a big loss.

And according to the Fiery Flame Art, it is not just about fusing two fireballs.

It requires 10 fireballs!"

Chu Ning's eyes flickered under the reflection of the flames.

But he also knew that it was not easy to do this.

The current fireball fusion is still very slow, and it is completely unworkable in a fight.

To truly fuse the fireball attack in a fight, the fusion must be completed at the same time as the spell is cast in the same hand.

This difficulty is more than 10 times higher than the fusion just now.

And to do this, there is no other way except a lot of practice.

So, Chu Ning began to repeat the fireball fusion technique again.

A day later, Chu Ning walked out of the stone chamber.

In his mind, he was still thinking about the process of practicing the Fiery Flame Art.

"With my talent of the noon fire spirit body, the speed of fusing these two fireballs has increased a little in a day.

To truly achieve instant fusion, it is probably extremely difficult to complete without ten days to half a month of practice.

And this is just the most basic, no wonder it is said that this fire cracking flame technique is extremely difficult to practice."

Chu Ning muttered to himself, and he also had a direction for the focus of his next spell practice.

First complete the instantaneous release of the fireball spell, and then fuse the two fireballs.

Then increase the number of fireballs.

During this period, Chu Ning did not plan to stay and practice all the time.

There are also transactions with casual cultivators here, and the talismans in his hand can still be sold.

And this is also his means of earning spirit stones in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.

He knows his own business. It is true that the Yin Wood Spirit Body and the Noon Fire Spirit Body have a fast practice speed.

But to have the current practice speed, various resources are inseparable.

If you want to maintain this cultivation speed in the future, these resources will naturally have to keep up.

Nothing is possible without spiritual stones.

Chu Ning is not planning to sell some specific talismans and talismans learned from Qingxi Sect here.

After all, he was still too sensitive, and Chu Ning was worried that some clues would be revealed.

However, common talismans such as low-level fire talisman, black ice talisman, rejuvenation talisman, etc. do not matter.

As for the more advanced ones, he also has other preparations in hand.

These days, by analyzing the source of the talisman, he not only mastered the method of making the talisman of the Sword Sealing Talisman and the Xuanshui Talisman.

He also mastered several kinds of talismans.

This intermediate-low-grade talisman is a little exaggerated when taken out, but these elementary-mid-grade and elementary-high-grade talismans are completely sellable.

Now he is starting to become a Talisman Master among casual cultivators, which will also help him prepare to join the island recruitment in ten days.

Chu Ning came to the place where casual cultivators trade.

He randomly found an open space, then took out a table, and then took out all the various talismans in his hand.

At the same time, a sign was erected next to it with the prices of various talismans written on it.

He has already gone to explore the markets of Thousand Fantasy Island.

I learned that in the entire Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, the level of talisman making is actually not high, and there are very few intermediate talismans.

As for the elementary talismans, they are available, but the price is 20% higher than Chu Ning’s previous request in Nayanjifang.

Most of the other magic weapons and elixirs are also like this.

This is probably the disadvantage of not having a large sect. Without systematic cultivation and inheritance of immortal cultivation skills such as the Alchemy and Talisman Array, it is still relatively difficult to cultivate a large number of talents.

The formation was an exception because of the Cen family.

It is said that the ancestors of the Cen family have received the inheritance of ancient formations, and this family is indeed very talented in understanding formations.

After Chu Ning put the talisman out, soon someone came up to inquire about buying it.

Although Chu Ning's talisman-making method was obtained by analyzing the source of the talisman, the quality of the talisman he made was only higher than the spiritual talisman method he had learned before.

Plus his price isn't any higher.

Those who came to buy basically bought it as long as they saw it.

"It seems that in the Thousand Island Competition twenty days later, there will be many people using talismans."

Chu Ning thought to himself, but he was not afraid. When it came to using talismans, no one had the advantage over him.

Even if others had it, no one would be willing to use it like him.

In the next ten days, Chu Ning spent two or three hours every day selling talismans at the place of casual cultivation.

The rest of the time was spent practicing in the stone room of the inn, and the days passed quite quickly.

After leaving the inn that day, Chu Ning did not go to the place where talismans were sold.

Instead, he came directly to a grand venue on the south side of Thousand Fantasy Island.

This will be the location for the Thousand Island Competition ten days later.

At the same time, islands that need to recruit manpower will also recruit here in advance.

During this period of time, Chu Ning had already read all the information on the jade slips provided by Chen Wangdao.

Although this place is known as Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, there are about four to five hundred islands where monks actually live and practice.

The remaining islands either have no spiritual veins.

Either it is occupied by monsters and is not suitable for monks to live in.

Among these islands, not only are they different in size, but their auras are also vastly different.

Chu Ning had already identified several targets before. When he entered the dojo, he looked for the names and walked over.

"Our Hanshui Island is full of recruits."

“At the eighth level of Qi Refining, if fellow Taoist contact us earlier, we can still consider it.

Now our Fengpo Island is full of recruits. "

"full……"

After Chu Ning visited several islands in succession, his brows suddenly wrinkled slightly.

These islands are indeed recruiting people well, but many of them have already been invited by monks on the island who are familiar with them.

Someone like Chu Ning, who had no one to recommend him, couldn't find a suitable place to join him.

After Chu Ning walked around again, his eyes couldn't help but twinkle.

Several of the islands he had previously intended for were no longer recruiting.

Even the top-ranked big islands that he didn't want to have too much contact with before are no longer recruiting at the moment.

Only some islands in the back with first-order spiritual veins even took the initiative to find Chu Ning after seeing him.

If Chu Ning, a monk at the eighth level of Qi Refining, joins, they will naturally welcome him.

However, the small island with that first-level spiritual vein was really unable to meet Chu Ning’s cultivation requirements.

"This Taoist friend is invited!"

While Chu Ning was hesitating, a voice rang out.

Chu Ning turned around and saw a yellow-robed monk with an eighth level of Qi refining standing not far from him.

This monk was about fifty years old. When he saw Chu Ning looking over, he immediately cupped his hands and said:

"In Shimoda Xiangfei, do fellow Taoists also want to find an island as a place to stay?

I wonder if you are interested in chatting with Tian and other fellow Taoists. "

Chu Ning glanced at the other party, shook his head and said:

"I don't know fellow Taoists, so I'm not interested."

After Tian Xiangfei heard this, he saw Chu Ning was about to leave, and immediately smiled and said:

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist. I see that Fellow Daoist has been wandering around here for a long time, but has not found a suitable island to join.

Tian and several fellow Taoists are also in the same situation. We intend to form a team to directly compete for the qualification of this island, and would like to invite fellow Taoists to join us. "

Chu Ning, who was about to leave, looked at the other party slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Form a team to qualify for the island?"

Chu Ning just thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning of these words.

Chen Wangdao had indeed told him before that the Thousand Islands War could not only be a competition between islands to win the management rights of better islands.

At the same time, if there are monks who think they are stronger than the island owners, they can also issue a challenge.

As long as you win, you can also obtain the qualification of the island owner accordingly.

As for the owner of the original island, should he stay or find another island?

It is up to the new island owner to decide.

However, there is a stipulation in this law, that is, the number of challengers can only be half of the number of people participating in the original island competition.

Therefore, relatively few people choose this method. After all, the island owners of these islands have been operating here for many years, and there are many late-stage Qi refining monks on the islands.

It is not easy for the newly formed team to successfully challenge with half the number of late-stage Qi Refining monks.

In addition, to use this method, you also need to hand over a large amount of spiritual stones to the Thousand Island Alliance.

If the challenge fails, the spiritual stone belongs to the challenged party.

Chu Ning went through this matter in her mind, and quickly shook her head and said:

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Chu Ning was indeed not interested in suddenly teaming up with strangers to fight for the island.

If it were just a challenge between islands, exchanging islands would still cause problems.

But after all, there are many such situations in every Thousand Islands Competition, and everyone is used to it.

But it is different to take the island directly from someone else's hands. This hatred can be deep.

The owners of the islands here have been operating here for many years and have some connections. Such a high-profile feud is not in line with Chu Ning's original intention of stable development.

Seeing that Chu Ning did not agree, the middle-aged monk took a deep look at Chu Ning and left.

Chu Ning continued to spin around at this moment. After all, there were hundreds of islands with spiritual energy here, and he wanted to see if there was any suitable one.

After walking for a few steps, there was another person in front of Chu Ning, but it was a middle-aged monk who looked to be in his forties.

"This fellow Taoist, next to Jiang Hongguang, the owner of Feihong Island, I don't know that fellow Taoist wants to find an island to join."

Feihong Island?

Upon hearing the man claiming to be the island owner, information about the island immediately flashed through Chu Ning's mind.

This island is a lower-middle-class island among the thousands of lakes and islands. It has a first-order spiritual vein and is of average quality.

However, this spiritual vein is too small, so although the island is not small, it is not well-known among the entire Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands.

"I'm really checking to see if there are any islands recruiting, but the level and size of your Feihong Island's spiritual veins are not my ideal place."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, the man named Jiang Hongguang didn't think about it. After looking at it, he suddenly said:

"Fellow Taoist, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Facing Chu Ning's confused gaze, the person continued to transmit the message:

"A new spiritual vein has been discovered on this island. If nothing else happens, it should be a second-level spiritual vein."

When Chu Ning, who was originally uninterested, heard this, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he continued to look at Jiang Hongguang.

After the latter nodded again, Chu Ning also sent a message:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let's find a place to talk in detail."

When Jiang Hongguang heard this, his face suddenly showed joy. He stretched out his hand and led Chu Ning to the side.

In this dojo, every island has a high platform.

The smaller island has a platform area of ​​about one foot, while the larger island is several feet.

There are restrictions placed outside each island. This restriction not only has the effect of isolating sound, but also has a certain defensive effect.

This actually surprised Chu Ning.

Entering the high platform of Feihong Island, there were two people sitting inside, both of them were women.

Jiang Hongguang pointed to a beautiful middle-aged woman of similar age to him and the younger woman beside him and said:

"This is my Taoist companion Yu Yuanxiu and my sister-in-law Jiang Lan. I haven't asked my Taoist friends for their names yet."

Chu Ning cupped her hands towards the three of them, "Chun Ning, my fellow Taoist just said..."

"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute!" Jiang Hongguang interrupted Chu Ning and then took out a talisman.

When Chu Ning saw that the other person was holding an isolation note, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Hongguang will activate the talisman, and suddenly, a light shield will envelope the four people.

Only then did Jiang Hongguang speak:

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Chu, I'm used to being more cautious."

Chu Ning smiled and did not answer.

Jiang Hongguang then continued:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, from what you just said, you should have some knowledge of our Feihong Island before.

There is indeed only one small first-order spiritual vein in Feihong Island, so only three people from our family were in charge of this island before.

But recently, we accidentally discovered that there is a second-order spiritual vein inside. "

When Jiang Hongguang said this, he kept paying attention to Chu Ning's expression.

Seeing that Chu Ning didn't show much expression, he continued:

"Although this spiritual vein is not big, it is a second-level spiritual vein after all. It should be no problem to support the cultivation of one or two more people.

At the same time, we are also worried that other islands will take the initiative to challenge and compete if they know about it.

I just want to recruit another Taoist friend to jointly take charge of this island. "

Chu Ning roughly understood what the other party meant at this moment, and her heart suddenly moved.

He did understand why the other party came to him.

Among the three people, Jiang Hongguang and his wife were both at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while Jiang Lan was at the seventh level.

In their view, his "eighth level of Qi Refining" cultivation is just a powerful supplement, but it will not pose too much threat to them.

For Chu Ning, if what the other party said is true, it is indeed a good choice.

With a second-level spiritual vein, the relationship between the people on the island is not complicated.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning said:

"I wonder if fellow Daoist Jiang can take me to the island to have a look. If it is true as you said, I am willing to join."

"Of course, I can take you now."

As he said, Jiang Hongguang dispersed the soundproof cover, and then the four of them went directly to the teleportation array of Qianhuan Island.

There is a teleportation array in each island, which really makes Chu Ning feel very convenient.

As soon as he entered Feihong Island, Chu Ning sensed it a little, and then his eyebrows slightly raised.

The spiritual energy here is much worse than that of Qianhuan Island, and it is obviously a first-level spiritual vein.

However, since the other party said there is a second-level spiritual vein, Chu Ning will not rush to make a conclusion.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me." Jiang Hongguang said, flying in front of the wind.

Then, when he came to a barren mountain in the island, he suddenly stopped.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, the spiritual vein is in this mountain.

The spiritual energy of this vein is condensed and not dispersed, so it cannot be sensed from the outside."

As he said, Jiang Hongguang took out a formation flag.

"In order to worry about someone accidentally breaking in, I specially bought a simple formation to arrange here."

As he said, Jiang Hongguang took out the formation flag and waved it.

The formation mist dissipated, and the four people followed into the belly of the mountain. Chu Ning immediately sensed the concentration of spiritual energy that was completely different from the outside world.

"Huh, I really didn't expect that there is a hidden spiritual vein here."

Chu Ning was also quite surprised at this moment.

The so-called hidden spiritual vein refers to those spiritual veins where the spiritual energy is condensed and not dispersed due to special reasons.

And now there is one in front of Chu Ning.

Chu Ning stretched out his hand and patted it, releasing Ling Xiaobai from the spirit beast bag.

This kind of thing, the little guy is best at.

"Hmm!"

Under the curious gazes of the three, Ling Xiaobai poked his head out, turned around, and then sent a message to Chu Ning.

After hearing what the little guy said, Chu Ning went straight to Jiang Hongguang and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'm joining."
