Chapter 157 Living Together in the Cave (Two in One)

After flying all the way for more than an hour, Chu Ning flew into Feihong Island and entered his own cave.

Seeing that Cen Zijin still showed no signs of waking up.

Chu Ning frowned slightly and took out a bottle of pills from the storage bag.

Then he lifted Cen Zijin's veil.

Suddenly, an exquisite and beautiful face fell into his sight.

His eyes were closed, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his whole face looked slightly pale.

But even so, Chu Ning couldn't help but admire in his heart.

She really deserves the title of fairy.

Chu Ning poured a pill from the pill bottle and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.

This pill was obtained from Shang Rui's storage bag before.

It melted in the mouth, which saved Chu Ning from feeding water.

At this moment, Chu Ning put the other person on the bed.

Then, he took out a few rejuvenation talismans from the storage bag, and after activating them, the spell fell on the other person.

Seeing that Cen Zijin was unconscious, but still full of vitality.

Chu Ning was relieved.

Most of the exercises practiced at this level will have the effect of automatically operating after being injured.

With his own auxiliary treatment, it is only a matter of time before he wakes up.

Then, Chu Ning came to sit aside and meditate to recover his mana.

Two consecutive fierce battles today, plus flying all the way, did consume a lot of his mana.

After several big cycles, Chu Ning's mana was fully restored.

However, Cen Zijin was not awake at this moment.

Chu Ning also went directly to the medicine garden at the back and took care of it.

When Chu Ning returned to the cave, he unexpectedly found that Fairy Cen had sat up and was meditating.

The veil on her face was no longer worn, revealing her beautiful and refined face.

Chu Ning knew that the other party should be healing, and he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Chu."

At this moment, Cen Zijin, who was already sitting on the bed, had opened his eyes.

Chu Ning stopped and entered the stone chamber.

"Fellow Daoist Cen has woken up, that's great, how do you feel now?"

Cen Zijin shook his head with a serious expression.

"That man's dying blow was quite fierce, and I was seriously injured this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in two or three months."

Speaking of this, Cen Zijin paused slightly, and then continued:

"Originally, I should have returned to my family to recuperate after I got a little better, but due to some special reasons, it is not convenient to go back now.

I don't know if it is convenient for you. If not, I will find another place."

Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning was a little surprised, but still nodded:

"Fellow Daoist Cen, what are you talking about? There are many stone chambers in my cave, so it is naturally convenient."

Chu Ning actually hesitated for a moment just now, after all, he had a lot of secrets.

However, the other party's request was not excessive. If he refused directly, it would be too inhumane.

Anyway, when they practice normally, they will not interfere with each other, and there are not many secrets.

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin showed a smile on his face.

"In this case, thank you very much, Taoist friend. I will be in seclusion to heal my wounds in the next two days. I hope you will not disturb me."

It was the first time that Chu Ning saw Cen Zijin smile without a veil.

Although her face was still a little pale, her charming and beautiful look was revealed.

He couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Retracting his gaze, Chu Ning said:

"Then Taoist friend, heal your wounds first. If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."

As he said that, Chu Ning left the stone chamber and closed the door.

The next moment, the stone chamber door restriction flashed.

Cen Zijin was naturally very familiar with the formation he had refined, and knew that Chu Ning was activating the restriction in the stone chamber.

In this way, although Chu Ning can rely on the formation to control the jade token to force his way in, there will still be a lot of noise that will be noticed by the people in the room.

Seeing this, Cen Zijin's eyes flickered slightly.

Then, he took out a pill from the storage bag and swallowed it, closing his eyes to practice and heal his wounds.

Chu Ning also left this stone room and went to the practice room next door.

He had arranged a few more stone rooms before, and there were still some empty ones, but there were no beds or other arrangements.

He simply stayed in the practice room for one night, and went to the market outside the island to buy some the next day.

He wanted to take the storage bags of the two foundation-building cultivators to have a look, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, the two were killed by Cen Zijin, and it seemed that the two were obviously coming for her.

Maybe Cen Zijin would find out something from the two people's things.

Before practicing, Chu Ning checked his practice proficiency.

[Yanhuo Shenmu Gong (Xuan-level upper grade), first level (1304/5000)]

[Jiuyan Refining Body Art, first volume, continuous tendons 949/1500]

[Spirit Refining Art, second level 705/2000]

Because Qingmu Yuanyang Pill is gone, he can only use spirit stones to practice next.

It will take a longer time, after all, no matter how good he is at absorbing spirit stones, it can't be directly compared with pills.

He took a golden orchid fruit first and completed the practice of Jiuyan Refining Body Art.

Chu Ning then took a medium-grade spirit stone and began to practice Yanhuo Shenmu Gong.

After entering the perfection of Qi Refining, a medium-grade spirit stone can support the improvement of the proficiency of Yanhuo Shenmu Gong by 3 points.

But it takes a lot of time, so Chu Ning usually chooses to use it at night.

During the day, he uses the spiritual energy in the Yanmu Twin Fruit to practice.

After practicing Yanhuo Shenmu Gong, Chu Ning finally practices the spirit refining technique.

This night was spent directly in the practice room.

In the following three days, Chu Ning's cave was back to normal.

On the way, he went to Caiwu Island, handed the talisman paper to the people in Cen Workshop, and also bought two sets of bedding.

Naturally, he didn't want to sleep on the floor in the practice room every day.

The people in Cen Workshop traded with Chu Ning normally, and they didn't know that the shopkeeper of the workshop was in Chu Ning's cave.

In three days, Chu Ning's spiritual plants and medicines also had a small harvest.

A small batch of the first planted Jinlan fruit was harvested, and the subsequent body refining was naturally guaranteed.

It's just that the speed of this body refining is now too slow.

At the same time, after more than ten days, Chu Ning found that the Iron Soul Flower was growing normally and there was nothing abnormal.

So, he planted twenty seeds in one breath.

Because it was not clear how long the wood essence of this flower could last in the flower.

Chu Ning did not dare to plant all at once, but prepared to plant in batches.

By then, to prevent the flower from withering before he could absorb the wood essence in it.

So on the fourth day, Chu Ning was preparing to go to the medicine garden.

When he opened the stone chamber, he found that the stone chamber next door had also been opened.

When he heard the movement from Chu Ning, Cen Zijin in white also came out.

He looked not much different from his previous state before he was injured, and his face was no longer covered with that veil.

Chu Ning looked at him and found that Cen Zijin's face was not as pale as the previous two days, but a little more rosy.

Seeing this, Chu Ning asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Cen seem to have recovered a lot from his injury?"

"It is considered stable." Cen Zijin nodded slightly.

"But this injury is more serious than I thought. It will probably take about three months to fully recover."

After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cen, just rest assured to recover from your injury. Generally, no one comes to Feihong Island.

After my cave was opened, no one came to visit except Fellow Daoist Jiang, the island owner of this island, for three months."

There were also three short-lived ghosts, who were naturally ignored by Chu Ning.

"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist. If there are any taboos in your mansion, please let me know in advance."

Chu Ning thought for a while and said, "There are some medicine gardens and spiritual plants behind my cave, but there is nothing else."

In his medicine garden and spiritual field, there are things like Yanmu Twin Fruit and Iron Soul Flower.

Even if he is familiar with Cen Zijin, it is better not to let him know easily.

After all, he got these two things from the Spirit Realm, which are not common outside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning said:

"Oh, by the way, I also raised two spirit beasts. Let's get to know each other first to avoid misunderstandings later."

Cen Zijin was stunned, "In addition to the art of making talismans, are you also proficient in spirit plants and spirit beasts?"

"I can't say I'm proficient, but I've had some contact with them."

Chu Ning responded and took Cen Zijin directly to the spirit beast room.

Then he released Ling Xiaobai and the Iron Rock Beast respectively.

After being raised for more than half a year, the Iron Rock Beast has grown a lot.

At this moment, it is more than one person tall and as big as an ordinary elephant.

Its strength has reached the peak of the first-level primary level, and it should be promoted to the first-level intermediate level soon.

Cen Zijin didn't care much about the Iron Rock Beast.

But when he saw Ling Xiaobai, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine.

"What a beautiful spirit beast."

As she said that, she pointed at Ling Xiaobai who had jumped onto Chu Ning's shoulder and said:

"What spirit beast is this? Can I touch it?"

"I'm not sure what spirit beast this little guy is. I named him Ling Xiaobai.

This little guy is a little shy, but he likes to eat spirit fruits. If Daoist Cen wants to get in touch with him..."

Before Chu Ning finished speaking, Cen Zijin waved his hand and took out a green spirit fruit.

Ling Xiaobai immediately jumped off Chu Ning's shoulder.

Then he walked to Cen Zijin's feet and rubbed them gently.

Then he cried "嘤" and happily ate the spirit fruit that Cen Zijin handed over.

After Cen Lejin reached out and touched the white hair on his body, he didn't seem to refuse.

Chu Ning was slightly stunned when he saw this.

This little guy, is milk his mother? If there is something delicious, he will rub it directly.

As if sensing Chu Ning's gaze, the little guy looked over, and then suddenly sent a telepathic message:

"It's more comfortable to be with her than with you, it's not hot."

Chu Ning was slightly startled when he heard this.

Only then did he remember that Ling Xiaobai was actually of ice attribute.

I am now practicing the Yanhuo Shenmu Gong, and I often practice fire attribute spells.

It seems normal that the little guy dislikes me a little.

"Does she have any spiritual fruits?" At this time, Ling Xiaobai sent a telepathic message again.

Chu Ning smiled secretly in his heart, and then sent a telepathic message in the same way:

"She should have other spiritual fruits here, ask her to give you some occasionally."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Xiaobai's eyes moved more intelligently.

Cen Zijin's spiritual consciousness was originally quite strong, but Chu Ning's spiritual consciousness was not weak either. During this conversation with Ling Xiaobai, the other party did not sense it.

Seeing Ling Xiaobai and Cen Zijin enter the cave, Chu Ning smiled and took the Iron Rock Beast to the Medicine Garden and Lingtian.

Although there are many spiritual plants planted in Chu Ning's spiritual field, there are still many open spaces.

The iron rock beast went to find a place to eat dirt.

Chu Ning continued to cultivate his spiritual plant.

At noon, Chu Ning made some spiritual rice and some dishes, and invited Cen Zijin to eat together.

At the foundation building stage, it is actually possible to live without food for a longer period of time.

However, Cen Zijin agreed directly.

The two came to the east side of the cave, ate spiritual rice and looked at the scenery of the lake.

After the meal was finished, Chu Ning used a few small spells to clean up.

Cen Zijin suddenly thought of something at this time. He took out a few tea-making tools from the storage bag, then smiled at Chu Ning and said:

"I remember Taoist friend said last time that the spiritual tea seemed good, and I happen to still have some in my storage bag."

For two people who are good at fire-based and water-based exercises and spells respectively, making some spiritual tea is naturally a trivial matter.

After a while, the two of them had a steaming cup of spiritual tea in front of them.

Only then did Chu Ning remember that she had been growing spiritual plants, but it seemed that she had never planted this spiritual tea.

Anyway, there are still some spiritual fields in the back, and it would be nice to plant some of these things.

So he asked Cen Zijin:

"Fellow Daoist Cen, are there any seeds for this spiritual tea? If so, I can plant some in the spiritual field behind."

Cen Zijin shook his head.

"I have never been exposed to spiritual plant cultivation, but I have not prepared seeds. If fellow Taoist wants it, wait until I get the seeds later and send them to fellow Taoist."

Chu Ning asked casually, but when he heard whether the other party was there, he didn't take it seriously.

Remembering that the storage bags of the two foundation-building monks had not been touched before, Chu Ning took them out at this moment.

At the same time, he took out the Ghost Head Zhang and the Dragon Bone Claw used by the two of them respectively from his storage bag, and put them together on the stone table in front of him.

Then he said to Cen Zijin:

"These things were obtained from the two people who were killed by fellow Taoists. I'm afraid these things may be useful to you.

So I never moved. "

"Thank you!" Cen Zijin said, taking out a few things from two storage bags and looking at them.

There are some elixirs and some jade slips and the like.

Chu Ning seemed to vaguely see a few jade tablets.

After reading these things, Cen Zijin looked at the lake in the distance with his beautiful eyes, his eyes changing.

When Chu Ning saw this, he didn't bother him and just drank tea aside.

Judging from Cen Zijin's performance, his previous guess was not wrong.

The other party should have seen something from the storage bags of these two people, and might even have guessed the purpose of their visit.

Otherwise, there would not be such a complicated expression on his face.

After Chu Ning drank four or five cups of tea, Cen Zijin finally sighed and looked away.

He said apologetically to Chu Ning:

"It makes Fellow Daoist Chu laugh. This place is indeed a place for self-cultivation. It's rare for me to have such peace of mind to think about all the troubles."

When Chu Ning heard this, she glanced at the other party's stunning face and said casually:

"It seems that Fairy Cen, who is famous in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands area, is not as beautiful as she appears."

When Cen Zijin heard this, not only was he not angry, but he nodded slightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chu is the first person to say this to me, but he is right."

Cen Zijin seemed to want to say something, but then he stopped, pointed to the storage bag and magic weapon on the table and said:

"This time against the enemy, if it weren't for the fact that Fellow Daoist Chu was holding the battle from the side and came to help at the critical moment.

I'm afraid I can't escape the vicious hands of these two people. Logically speaking, these things should belong to fellow Taoists.

However, I still have use for these things, and I hope fellow Taoists will let me use them, and I will give you some additional compensation. "

"No problem." Chu Ning nodded lightly and agreed to Cen Zijin's request.

He originally didn't think much about dividing the things here, but since Cen Zijin took the initiative to speak, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

In fact, even though he is a foundation-building monk, the cultivation methods are inconsistent.

I'm afraid there aren't many things that can really be used.

It would be nice if I could get something practical instead.

When Cen Zijin saw Chu Ning agreeing so readily, he immediately asked:

"I wonder what you want?"

Chu Ning thought for a while and said: "Elixirs, pills that can be taken by monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining and Qi Refining Perfection."

After a pause, he added: "If there is an elixir with dual attributes of fire and wood, it would naturally be the best."

During the previous fight on Napinghu Island, Chu Ning had actually revealed that he practiced wood attribute techniques and spells.

So at this time, there was naturally nothing to hide.

"For elixirs of this level, I have sixty Jade Dew Pills here, but they are not special ones with dual attributes of fire and wood."

Cen Zijin said, taking out three bottles of elixirs from the storage bag and placing them in front of Chu Ning.

At the same time, there was a somewhat stunned expression on his face.

"Fellow Taoist turns out to be a cultivator of the Huo Mu Di Spiritual Root. No wonder he has such a method."

Chu Ning smiled slightly, acquiescing.

At this time, Cen Zijin also remembered the scene when Chu Ning faced the enemy on Pinghu Island.

Looking at Chu Ning with bright eyes, her long eyelashes blinked gently.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, has two top-notch magic weapons in his hands. Even the foundation-building monks have a headache against them.

In the Thousand Island Competition before, he had many tricks up his sleeve, but he even hid them from us. "

Chu Ning shook his head and said:

"At that time, the eighth level of Qi refining was naturally still a bit inferior, and the treasures were not easily revealed to others."

After saying that, Chu Ning said seriously to Cen Zijin:

"As for my matters, I ask fellow Taoist Cen to help me keep it a secret. I just want to practice quietly and don't want to cause too much trouble."

Cen Zijin nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, I don't want this matter to cause an uproar."

Chu Ning nodded after hearing this.

It was very stable for the first half year after moving here, but in the past half month, things kept happening, which gave Chu Ning a headache.

He picked up the three bottles of Jade Dew Pill released by Cen Zijin and was about to ask about the efficacy of the pill.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"This is a fellow Taoist's cave, please come out and meet me."

Chu Ning was slightly startled when she heard the shouting outside.

His brows wrinkled inadvertently at the same time.

He looked outside, but this formation did not block the view inside the cave.

Outside the formation, there were two monks wearing blue robes and yellow robes. The clothes gave Chu Ning a vague sense of familiarity.

And looking at the auras, they are actually foundation-building monks.

Just when Chu Ning was thinking this, Cen Zijin on the side said:

"Liu Wanhong and Song Feng, why did they come here together?"

Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder he felt that their clothes looked familiar. They turned out to be monks from the two leader families.

It's just that he has never seen these two people before in the Thousand Island Competition.

Immediately, he thought that Shadow Moon Island and Bitao Island were respectively attached to two major families.

"These two people are not here for Peng Dajun and Nahe Mingjin."

Chu Ning was secretly vigilant at this moment.

"Which fellow Taoist is inside, please come out and see me."

At this time, Song Feng, who was wearing a yellow robe outside, spoke again, with obvious impatience in his tone.

Chu Ning immediately stood up and prepared to walk out, when Cen Zijin said from the side:

“These two are both mid-stage foundation-building monks, and Liu Wanhong is okay.

But Song Feng is extremely difficult to talk to, so Fellow Daoist Chu should be more careful. "

Hearing Cen Zijin's reminder, Chu Ning nodded, and then quickly flew out of the cave.

Arriving in front of the two of them, Chu Ning bowed and saluted:

"Junior Feihong Island Chu Ning has met two seniors who were practicing just now. Please don't be weird, seniors."

"Feihong Island Chu Ning, I seem to have heard this name before..."

Liu Wanhong, who was wearing a blue robe, muttered softly.

On the side, Song Feng, who was wearing a yellow robe, suddenly said:

"Are you the one who defeated Chu Ning who had perfected Qi refining in the Thousand Island Competition?

I heard that Feihong Island has a second-level spiritual vein. Is this where you practice? "

"Oh, I remembered. I heard that you are also a famous talisman master with quite a few tricks."

Liu Wanhong also remembered about Chu Ning at this moment and said.

Chu Ning didn't expect that this person named Song Feng would still remember him after half a year.

Then he said repeatedly: "This trivial skill cannot catch the eyes of these two seniors.

There is indeed a very small second-level spiritual vein here, so the younger generation built a cave here. "

Hearing Chu Ning's honest answer, the expression on Song Feng's face became a little more satisfied.

But then, two eyes pierced Chu Ning again, and even the consciousness shrouded and oppressed Chu Ning.

"Have any foundation-building monks from other islands been here recently?"

Feeling this spiritual consciousness, Chu Ning suddenly had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

He also answered quickly:

"No, these two seniors are the first time I have met the foundation-building monks since the cave was opened."

"Really?" Song Feng increased the pressure of his spiritual consciousness, and his voice became colder.

Chu Ning shook her head, "Indeed, I don't dare to deceive my senior."

Liu Wanhong heard someone whispering softly:

"Someone clearly saw them heading in this direction before, why didn't they show up?"

Song Feng did not speak, but looked at Chu Ning and then at the cave formation behind him, his eyes flashing.

Seeing the look in the other person's eyes, Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little bad.

If the other party really proposed to go into the cave to have a look, he wouldn't be able to refuse it completely for a while.

At this time, the blue-robed monk named Liu Wanhong opened his mouth and said:

"Let's go then. If you see two foundation-building monks with such looks later, go to Thousand Fantasy Island and inform our two families in time."

With that said, Lao Wanhong described the appearance of the two monks to Chu Ning.

"As expected, I came here for these two people."

After hearing this, Chu Ning sighed inwardly, because what Lao Wanhong described was exactly the appearance of Peng Dajun and He Mingjin.

At the same time, he kept promising that as long as he saw the two of them, he would report them in time.

Hearing this, Liu Wanhong stopped talking and looked like he was about to leave directly.

But Song Feng smiled coldly at this moment.

“How dare we, the Thousand Island Alliance’s foundation-building monks, neglect to summon us, and think it’s a big deal just because we have the Cen family’s formation?

If that's the case, then just suffer a little bit..."

While speaking, the man named Song Feng stared at Chu Ning.

At the same time, Chu Ning only felt a spiritual consciousness rushing towards his brain.

"Spiritual consciousness attack?"

Chu Ning immediately reacted, what exactly did this guy named Song Feng want to do.

At this moment, Chu Ning actually only needed to use the forbidden magic, and he was sure enough to make the other party suffer a loss.

However, in this way, he could rest in peace.

Of course, Chu Ning would not really let the other party attack his spiritual consciousness so recklessly.

The forbidden magic was used to block the opponent's spiritual consciousness attack, and Chu Ning controlled the forbidden magic to prevent it from backlashing.

The next moment, Chu Ning screamed "Ah" and held his head.

His face also turned extremely pale in an instant.

His eyes looked a little dull.

Seeing this scene, Song Feng sneered.

Then he turned around and flew away.

Liu Wanhong didn't even look at Chu Ning.

In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared.

Until this moment, Chu Ning slowly put down his hand that was covering his head.

At the same time, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Song, I remember."

Chu Ning's eyebrows slightly raised.

Then, he turned around and walked slowly back to the formation.

As soon as Chu Ning entered the cave, Cen Zijin immediately came to meet him.

Seeing Chu Ning's pale face at this moment, a trace of anger flashed in her bright eyes.

"This Song Feng is really getting more and more excessive. He actually used his spiritual sense to attack a Qi Refining cultivator."

After saying that, Cen Zijin looked at Chu Ning with some concern.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you okay now?

The spiritual sense of you Qi Refining cultivators recovers very slowly. If it is seriously damaged, I am afraid it will take a long time to recover."

Chu Ning heard and waved his hand slightly. Although his face was still a little pale, it had begun to have a little redness.

At the same time, he answered:

"The treasure I used to defend against the attack of the ghost has some effect in resisting the attack of the spirit.

Although there was indeed a moment when the avatar was about to explode, the injury was not very serious."

Chu Ning didn't want to make his injury too serious, otherwise he would have to pretend every day, which was really hard.

Anyway, when he was resisting the ghost before, Cen Zijin had seen some of his methods.

They were all attacks that were more like spirits, so there was no big flaw in what he said.

Sure enough, after hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin did not intend to continue asking, but breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"In this case, that's the best.

Speaking of which, you may have been implicated by me just now."

Cen Zijin sighed slightly and said:

"The Song family and our Cen family have many disagreements. He may have seen that your formation here has something to do with me."

When Chu Ning heard this, he opened his mouth slightly.

At this time, he felt that after the Thousand Islands competition, when Fairy Cen asked the maid to call him, he decisively refused and it was really wise.

Just as he thought at that time, the title of the first fairy of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands sounded like a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, he ended up getting involved with the other party for this formation and the talisman.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning sighed lightly.

"Now we are sympathizing with each other.

Daoist Cen, you shouldn't have any more troubles living here.

It's really dangerous to contact Daoist friends."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin's beautiful eyes glared at him.

Although she also knew that Chu Ning was telling the truth, but she was such a beautiful woman alive here, did this guy just think it was troublesome?

Cen Zijin wanted to refute a little, but when she saw Chu Ning's pale face, she thought of her previous experience on Pinghu Island.

Fairy Cen finally swallowed her words back.

Then her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

"From the description of the two people by Liu Wanhong just now, they seem to be Peng Dajun from Yingyue Island and He Mingjin from Bitao Island.

Some cultivators mentioned before that there were foundation-building cultivators fighting in this area. Could they be these two people?"

Cen Zijin said, his eyes thoughtful.

"These two islands are indeed attached to the Liu family and the Song family respectively."

Chu Ning listened to Cen Zijin's words and pretended that he didn't understand.

After this incident, the two lost interest in the conversation just now, and returned to their respective caves to practice.

In the following days, one of them focused on healing and the other on practicing.

Different stone chambers are separated by restrictions, but they do not interfere with each other.

And under the protection of the stone chamber restrictions, Chu Ning can practice the Fiery Flame Art without worrying that any movement will be heard by Cen Zijin.

The communication between the two people was just a few occasional conversations before and after meals at the beginning, and then the number of conversations gradually increased unconsciously.

From the general situation of the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, they talked about the path of cultivation.

Occasionally, Chu Ning would raise some questions about cultivation, and Cen Zijin would answer them one by one.

After a period of time, Chu Ning gained a lot.

For example, he learned from Cen Zijin that the six major families of the Thousand Islands Alliance were not united.

There were three factions in total.

The Liu family, the Song family and the Huo family were closer.

The other Chen family and the Shi family were closer.

The Cen family has always been relatively independent between the two factions.

The ability to maintain such a pattern is mainly due to the formation.

After all, among the thousands of lakes and islands, the teleportation array and various arrays on each island are inseparable from the Cen family.

And this teleportation array is also one of the important sources of income for the Thousand Islands Alliance.

However, in recent years, the head of the Cen family, Cen Zijin's uncle Cen Wenquan, seems to have the idea of ​​getting closer to the Chen family and the Shi family.

This also caused the other three families to start deliberately targeting the Cen family.

The reason why Cen Zijin pulled Chu Ning into the group before was that he was somewhat excluded by the three families in the market.

Except for the array, the rest of the business was basically very bleak.

When the two chatted, they also asked about each other's news.

For example, Cen Zijin was a little curious about Chu Ning's many methods, and once asked Chu Ning about his origins.

Chu Ning naturally evaded the question casually.

He also chatted and asked whether the rumors about Cen Zijin were true.

For example, if she was really accepted as a disciple by a Jindan cultivator, why would she choose to stay here instead of going to that big sect?

However, it was also fruitless.

In the blink of an eye, Cen Zijin had lived here for more than a month.

That day, Chu Ning was stunned after entering the spiritual field.

It was the spiritual fruit that was a hybrid of the Yuanyang fruit and the iron stem orchid. After the fruit was produced, the cultivation speed was extremely slow.

Not only was the time before pollination longer than the previous hybrid Jinlan fruit.

The growth rate after the fruit was produced was far slower than that of the original Jinlan fruit, and even slower than that of the iron stem orchid.

In the past two months of growth, the spiritual fruit has not changed except that it has grown a little bigger.

As time went by, the golden color of the previous Jinlan fruit would continue to spread.

And this spiritual fruit, in the past two months, has basically not changed much.

But when Chu Ning looked at it again today, he found that the fruit began to change a little bit.

The size is still small, but the red spots on it seem to be less than when I carefully observed it two days ago.

"What's going on? It's ok that this spiritual fruit doesn't grow, but why are the red spots getting smaller? Could it be that the cultivation failed?"

Chu Ning muttered to himself, and then wrote down the changes of this spiritual fruit.

Then, Chu Ning looked at the two spiritual medicine gardens that he paid the most attention to, the Flame Wood Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.

"Hey, it's borne fruit!"

Looking at the few small spiritual fruits on the Flame Wood Twin Fruit Tree, Chu Ning was immediately happy.

He walked forward quickly and came to the Flame Wood Twin Fruit.

I saw that this spiritual fruit was green, not as fiery red as the one Chu Ning picked in the spiritual realm before.

And the size was much smaller.

But the shape was exactly the same.

Chu Ning's face was full of smiles when he saw it.

It took 8 months, and the Flame Wood Twin Fruit finally borne fruit. Next, I just need to cast spells intermittently.

It is only a matter of time before the spiritual fruits mature.

Chu Ning remembered that when he was picking them in the spiritual realm, a Yanmu twin fruit tree could grow 5 or 6 spiritual fruits.

Now he has planted 36 here. If it is normal, it should be able to grow more than 150.

By then, whether he takes it directly or takes it after refining the Xuanling Baodan, it should be enough.

In terms of time, it is better to cultivate these spiritual fruits as soon as possible.

"I have to ask Ling Xiaobai to ripen them more."

Chu Ning would not think that these spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits can grow so fast because of his spellcasting.

His Yinmu spirit body casts the Xuanqing Qinghua technique, which is indeed more effective than ordinary cultivators.

However, such a growth rate is definitely inseparable from the ripening of Ling Xiaobai.

Thinking of this in his heart, Chu Ning turned and walked into the cave.

This little guy has been getting some benefits from Cen Zijin recently, so when this girl wants it to play together, it will respond immediately.

But I can't forget my business.

Cen Zijin, who was playing with Ling Xiaobai in the stone room, saw Chu Ning holding Ling Xiaobai, and the latter looked unwilling.

Suddenly asked curiously:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, what exactly do you want Xiaobai to do? Why does it look so reluctant?"

"Pee! Come back soon!"

Chu Ning answered casually.

"Hey!"

Ling Xiaobai cried out in grievance when he heard this.

And Cen Zijin's face flushed slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still followed Chu Ning out.

However, after watching Chu Ning take Ling Xiaobai into the medicine garden, she stopped.

Cen Zijin certainly remembered that Chu Ning had reminded her that there were some spiritual plants planted behind it, and it seemed that he didn't want others to see it.

Because of the restrictions, even Cen Zijin could not see what was planted in the medicine garden and the spiritual field when standing outside the medicine garden.

After a short while, Chu Ning came out again with Ling Xiaobai.

Cen Zijin reached out and took Ling Xiaobai from Chu Ning, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked:

"Why did you ask Xiaobai to come here?"

"To apply fertilizer." Chu Ning said as a matter of course.

"The feces of spiritual beasts have spiritual energy, which can promote the growth of spiritual plants. In fact..."

As he said this, Chu Ning looked at Cen Zijin.

Cen Zijin's bright eyes glared at him when he saw this.

He seemed to be too unpretentious as a foundation-building cultivator, and felt that the guy in front of him was getting more and more presumptuous.

Chu Ning felt Cen Zijin's eyes, and was slightly stunned. He said in confusion:

"Actually, anyone who has had some contact with spiritual plant cultivation knows these things.

For example, in the sect, the feces of spiritual beasts are often made into fertilizer."

Cen Zijin blinked slightly when he heard this.

"Are you telling me this?"

Chu Ning nodded, and was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, what else can I say?"

"Nothing!" Cen Zijin's face flushed, and then he walked quickly into the cave with Ling Xiaobai in his arms.

Chu Ning saw this, smiled, and followed into the cave.

After walking a few steps ahead, Cen Zijin slowed down his pace again, and waited until Chu Ning came forward before walking side by side.

Then he reached out and took something out of the storage bag and handed it to Chu Ning.

"Here you go, this cloud pattern talisman pen. I was healing my wounds before and didn't put my mind at ease.

I've cleaned up the iron meteorites in the roots these days. See if it works."

Chu Ning reached out to take it. Cen Zijin had asked him how to make this cloud pattern talisman pen before.

When he took it, he saw that the green bamboo body had turned yellow and was shorter.

The top of the pen and the pen holder near the pen head had been processed to a certain extent.

And the roots at the bottom of the pen head, which were as thin as hair, were obviously taken care of.

It no longer looked like the original cloud pattern bamboo, but like a carefully made talisman pen.

Chu Ning injected a little magic power, and immediately felt that the magic power went straight through the tip of the pen, which was indeed much better than the previous medium-grade talisman pen.

"Okay, just when I dealt with the golden-feathered giant leopard before, I made some more advanced talisman ink, so now I have everything."

Chu Ning happily took the pen, then took out a box of talisman ink from the storage bag and went straight to the talisman making room.

As for talisman paper, he had already made a batch of medium-level talisman paper before, which was enough.

Cen Zijin watched Chu Ning enter the talisman making room, but still did not follow him.

She herself was a formation master, so she naturally knew that it was not appropriate to follow him in if the other party did not take the initiative to invite her.

Chu Ning came to the talisman making room alone. In fact, he had already been able to make elementary and low-grade talismans.

Now, it was just the success rate of talisman making that needed to be improved, so it was not suitable for Cen Zijin to watch.

Otherwise, if the success rate of talisman making was so high at the beginning, the previous words would not be justified.

About half an hour later, Chu Ning put all the talismans he had made into the storage bag, and walked out of the talisman making room with only a few Xuanshui Lingfu.

With a smile on his face.

The high-quality talisman pen and ink are indeed different when used.

No matter how he made this Xuanshui Lingfu before, the success rate was only about 50%.

Now, with a little try, the success rate has directly increased by 10%.

If he practices a little bit in the future, it should not be a problem to improve it a little bit, and it should be 70% to 80%.

Cen Zijin heard the noise of Chu Ning coming out and walked out of the stone room. After seeing the smile on Chu Ning's face, a glimmer of light flashed in his almond eyes.

"Looking at your expression, you should have successfully made the talisman?"

"Fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission." Chu Ning handed all the talismans in his hand to Cen Zijin.

"It is indeed possible to make this intermediate-level low-grade talisman, but the success rate needs to be improved."

Cen Zijin immediately took it and felt it for a while, and her pretty face was surprised and happy.

"What a high-quality talisman."

As he said, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Chu Ning, and his eyes moved.

"Intermediate-level low-grade talismans can also have such quality. It seems that Daoyou's talent and level in making talismans are really good."

Chu Ning did not respond to Cen Zijin's words, but instead asked:

"How did Daoyou explain that there were suddenly so many high-quality talismans in the Cen Workshop? Now even intermediate-level low-grade talismans have appeared."

When Cen Zijin heard this, he looked at Chu Ning with some dissatisfaction.

"It's best to tell the truth. Now, I can only bear this reputation myself.

Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, I am a genius. I know the formation, and it's nothing to learn to make talismans."

When Chu Ning heard this, he laughed and said:

"I really have to congratulate you, fellow Daoist Cen. With everyone's admiration for you, I'm afraid that the reputation of the first talisman master in Qianhu Qiandao will fall on you sooner or later."

Cen Zijin glanced at Chu Ning, sighed lightly and said:

"Do you really think that the bigger the reputation, the better? This is just a burden to me..."

Speaking of this, Cen Zijin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still went on to say.

"Didn't you ask me before if there was a Jindan cultivator with a natural spiritual root who wanted to accept me as a disciple?

This is true, and that is the leader of a large sect. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to break through to the level of a Yuanying cultivator within a hundred years."

Hearing Cen Zijin's words, Chu Ning was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Cen Zijin would suddenly open up to him and talk about his family affairs.

He immediately asked with some curiosity:

"Why didn't you choose to join that big sect, but stayed in this thousand lakes and thousands of islands?"

"This actually has something to do with the secrets of our family." Cen Zijin hesitated for a moment and answered.
