Chapter 301 Lingming Fruit, Fruit of Infant Condensation
After returning to his cave, Chu Ning was still full of doubts.
The fact that Xi Wenxia could use the talent of Gengjin Qi lingered in his mind.
Thinking of the fact that Dan Taisong could vaguely feel the breath of the spirit beast through the spirit beast bag before.
Chu Ning guessed that he might be very special in this world of immortal cultivation.
However, he was not the only special existence.
This discovery made Chu Ning secretly alert and cautious in his heart.
The idea of refining several special spirit beast bags that he had thought of before was also put on the agenda by Chu Ning.
Chu Ning had already come into contact with the refining of spirit beast bags and storage bags in Jiuhua Sect before.
However, because this thing is universal, Chu Ning did not do any special research.
After recalling the refining method again, Chu Ning recorded it in the jade slip.
Looking at the materials for refining, the materials of these things are not particularly complicated. As long as Chu Ning is willing, he can buy them in the market at any time.
Even the sea monsters that Chu Ning had hunted before, many materials can be used to refine more advanced storage bags.
But Chu Ning wanted to refine something more special.
"Whether it is a spirit beast bag or a storage bag, it is actually based on the foundation of the power of space.
And the rune array of the power of space is actually the most difficult to depict, and it is even more difficult to combine it with other rune arrays."
Chu Ning was constantly thinking about it at this moment.
The power of space is one of the most complex forces, this is definitely not a lie.
In fact, in the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators have not thought about making storage bags or teleportation arrays smaller.
The reason why there are no storage rings, bracelets and other items in this world.
It is still because the rune array that carries the power of space is relatively complex and difficult to depict in detail.
Even if Chu Ning is practicing the Void Finger at this moment, his understanding of the power of space is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
He feels that he still can't do it.
However, with Chu Ning's understanding, combined with the depiction of some other arrays, it is not impossible to try.
In the next few months, Chu Ning spent most of his time on this.
In addition to going out once every ten days to see if there was anything to buy at Shuangyue Pavilion,
he also sent new things to Xi Wenxia for sale and brought back the spirit stones.
This woman was very dedicated, especially after Chu Ning casually refined two furnaces of gold-attributed elixirs and gave them to her.
Almost every time Chu Ning took something, it was sold out in about ten days.
This was naturally due to the recent situation in Bingdao Fairy City and Chu Ning's things were all good.
On the other hand, this woman also spent a lot of thought.
After all, she was just a casual cultivator, and she only set up a small stall in the market.
At first, some cultivators were eyeing her.
However, after Chu Ning appeared twice, those cultivators naturally did not dare to target her anymore.
As for the spirit stones sold, Xi Wenxia also gave them all to Chu Ning every time, and Chu Ning took back a small part for her.
Although Chu Ning did not sell these things directly, he went to Shuangyue Pavilion from time to time, so he knew the basic market conditions.
Xi Wenxia took out more spirit stones every time than he expected, so he naturally knew that this woman had no bad intentions, and he was very satisfied.
Except for going out once every ten days, Chu Ning spent the rest of the time studying the runes and patterns of the space storage bag in the cave.
He thought about how to add some array runes that could hide and isolate detection.
And how to make these storage bags and spirit beast bags as small as possible, so that they would not be so conspicuous.
Even if you have the talent of array spirit body and weapon master spirit body, this kind of thing is not that easy to do.
It took four months to study the superposition of runes and arrays, and another month to find suitable materials and try to refine them.
It took a lot of time to test.
In this way, after nearly six months, Chu Ning finally refined a few storage bags and spirit beast bags for his own use.
Chu Ning looked at his storage bag and spirit beast bag, which were obviously smaller than the previous ones, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The space is twice that of the storage bag I used before, but the size is only half.
Moreover, after stacking several formations, the concealment of the breath is much stronger!"
Chu Ning smiled and poured out all the things in his original storage bag.
Then he put them into the new storage bag.
He also specially engraved the spirit consciousness formation in these storage bags, which can not only block the spirit consciousness detection.
If someone really uses the spirit consciousness to detect, he can also detect it and bless the spirit consciousness for protection.
The spirit beast bag is the same. In order to test, he also bought a lot of spirit beasts from the market and put them in for half a month.
After confirming that there is no problem, let the golden thunder eagle stay in for half a month.
After getting feedback from the golden thunder eagle, entering this spirit beast bag can normally sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
At this time, Chu Ning put the little white spirit into the new spirit beast bag.
After all, the little guy is now in the stage of promotion. If the spirit beast bag affects the other party, it will be bad.
After replacing all the things on his body, Chu Ning put away the snow crystal again and took it with him, and then walked out of the cave.
Headed straight to the destination, the Snow Mist Valley.
For half a year, although Chu Ning searched many times in the market and Shuangyue Pavilion, he still couldn't find the Jiuyi Gold.
So, the trip to the Snow Mist Valley became imperative.
Chu Ning entered the Snow Peak Mountains and flew all the way to the outside of the Snow Mist Valley.
At this moment, many Jindan cultivators had already gathered outside the valley, and there were even some foundation-building cultivators.
Most of the Jindan cultivators were within a thousand feet outside the valley.
Some sat cross-legged, while three or two gathered to talk.
As for those foundation-building cultivators, they gathered more on the periphery.
As soon as Chu Ning arrived, he saw Chang Lingshan and Wu Rongfeng and his wife waving at him from afar, and he flew over directly.
However, Chu Ning did not see Han Shihong.
Several people bowed to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning returned the greeting, and then took the lead to ask:
"Are all the Taoist friends here too?"
"Yes, I have to come. The sea has changed dramatically, and I don't know what the situation will be like later."
Chang Lingshan sighed, raised his long arm and pointed in the direction of the Snow Mist Valley.
"It will take another ten years for this valley to be open. I'd better take this opportunity to come in and see if I can accumulate some resources.
Let alone cultivation, it's hard to say whether I can live in this Iceland Fairy City."
Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:
"Fellow Daoist Chang, what you said is exaggerated. With your previous accumulation, it's no problem to live here for a hundred years."
After a long time of contact, he realized that the reason why Chang Lingshan ran to the Frost Moon Pavilion so diligently was that he often hoarded some cultivation resources.
In the past six months, the prices of various resources in Iceland Fairy City have risen, and Chu Ning has certainly made a lot of money.
In the later period, Chu Ning even drew a lot of intermediate talismans and gave them to Xi Wenxia to do, which really earned a lot of spirit stones.
But old guys like Chang Lingshan may not earn less than him.
"Prepare for a rainy day, prepare for a rainy day!" Chang Lingshan laughed.
"So many Jindan cultivators have come, and even many foundation-building cultivators have come to try their luck. They must have the same idea."
Chu Ning nodded. He felt that most of these foundation-building cultivators were forced to do so.
Now the cultivation environment in Bingdao Fairy City is gradually deteriorating, and it is even more difficult for these low-level cultivators to survive.
Xi Wenxia said that if Chu Ning hadn't helped her find an opportunity to earn spirit stones.
This time, she would naturally come to the Snow Mist Valley to try her luck.
Of course, now she is still selling things in the market.
"I didn't expect Brother Chu to come this time." Chang Lingshan said with a little surprise.
"So I didn't look for you before I set off."
Chu Ning smiled and said, "I am just like Brother Chang, I just came here to try my luck."
When Wu Rongfeng and his wife heard Chu Ning's words, they looked at each other.
They both guessed that the purpose of Chu Ning's trip was probably more about the Nine-Emperor Gold.
However, since Chu Ning did not ask them to help with the search, the two of them would not take the initiative to point it out.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk, Chu Ning also began to look around to see who had entered the valley.
Among them, there were many Jindan casual cultivators, and Chu Ning had dealt with them in Shuangyue Pavilion.
Even if they were not very familiar, at least they had met.
After all, he had entered Shuangyue Pavilion more times in the past six months.
As for some other casual cultivators who obviously looked like they were from overseas islands, or some sect cultivators from the other two continents, Chu Ning did not know them.
At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes swept through the group of people without stopping, but he was muttering in his heart.
"The people from Huanling Sect are here, but the young sect master does not seem to have come in person."
Among the crowd of Huanling Sect cultivators, there was no figure of Tan Taisong.
It was not known whether the other party was seriously injured by the ground pulse shock, or whether there was nothing worth coming to this Snow Mist Valley.
But Chu Ning thought about it and was not surprised.
The reason why the opening of the Snow Mist Valley ten years ago attracted many late Jindan peak cultivators to come.
The main reason was the thousand-year-old snow crystal fungus.
This time, no special treasures were found in the Snow Mist Valley.
These ordinary resources are still attractive to casual cultivators, but they may not be very attractive to those large sects.
Chu Ning looked around at this moment and found that there were indeed some late Jindan cultivators, but not many.
At this moment, there were only three or five late Jindan peak cultivators.
Chu Ning naturally observed all of them.
With his current means, these people are not too afraid.
But if you can avoid fighting with them, it is better to avoid them as much as possible.
After all, Chu Ning's purpose this time is still the Nine Instruments Gold.
As time passed, the number of cultivators around him gradually increased.
Han Shihong had also come to the outside of the valley, and he joined them directly after seeing a few people.
At this time, Chu Ning found that the number of late Jindan cultivators around him gradually increased.
There were even a few who were late Jindan peak cultivators.
Moreover, several of these people had old faces and were obviously not young, which was somewhat similar to Di Yan's condition.
However, compared with Di Yan, their condition was much better.
At least Chu Ning did not feel the lack of vitality.
Just when Chu Ning was puzzled, another white-haired old man arrived.
This man was dressed in a gray shirt, of medium build, and looked like a dying old man, even his eyes were slightly cloudy.
However, the aura on his body was extremely strong, and he was actually at the peak of the late Jindan stage.
Chu Ning didn't know this person, but with such a strange situation, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But at this moment, among the many golden elixir monks outside the Snow Mist Valley, there was some commotion.
Many monks had strange expressions on their faces.
"Why is this old devil here too? Are the recent rumors true?"
At this time, Chang Lingshan couldn't help but scream.
Several people on the periphery had already cast a spell to place a restriction, so Chang Lingshan's voice could not be heard.
When Chu Ning heard this, she couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Chang, who is this person?"
"Black evil old demon Situ Yan." Chang Lingshan answered with a solemn look on his face.
After seeing the puzzled expression on Chu Ning's face, he started to explain again.
"This person was already a Golden Core cultivator eight hundred years ago. I heard that for some reason he was unable to condense the Nascent Soul and has been trapped in the late Golden Core realm."
"Eight hundred years ago?" Chu Ning was slightly startled after hearing this.
The same was true for Wu Rongfeng and his wife. She lost her voice and said:
"A golden elixir monk's lifespan usually reaches its peak at eight hundred years old. Even if he condenses the golden elixir before he is a hundred years old, his lifespan should be gone."
Chang Lingshan nodded and said:
"It stands to reason that he has already passed away, but it is said that he practiced some secret method three hundred years ago and extended his lifespan.
But it is said that this secret technique also seems to have some negative effects, and this person is originally a murderer.
But in the past three hundred years, he has never been seen taking action again.
Many monks speculated that it might be related to the secret technique he practiced.
He is also here today. Is it possible that the news is true? "
Hearing Chang Lingshan talk about "news" again, Chu Ning and the four of them looked at each other and couldn't help but ask.
Chang Lingshan hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Actually, this news only came out in the past two days.
Some foundation-building monks spilled the beans, saying that they had seen the Lingming Fruit before in this snow-fog valley. "
"Lingming Fruit?" Upon hearing this, several people couldn't help but shout.
Even He Yongzhi, who had never spoken much, blurted out at this moment:
"Is it the legendary Spiritual Bright Fruit that can increase the chance of condensing the Nascent Soul?"
Chang Lingshan nodded slightly.
Suddenly, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the four of them.
Condensing Nascent Soul, this is what many Jindan monks dream of.
But in fact, it is extremely difficult to condense the Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many late-stage Jindan monks who would end up stuck at the peak of the late-stage Jindan stage.
Although Chu Ning has amazing talent in cultivation because he can refresh his talent, he has already entered the middle stage of Golden Core in just a few decades.
According to calculations, it is highly probable that the Nascent Soul will be condensed.
However, no one is 100% sure about this kind of thing.
For a treasure like the Lingming Fruit, which can increase the chance of condensing the Nascent Soul, it is naturally impossible for Chu Ning to say that he was not tempted at all after hearing about it.
However, at this moment, Chu Ning quickly calmed down from the shock of hearing the news.
He asked very puzzledly:
“Since there is such a thing as Lingming Fruit, why hasn’t the news come out so early?
Now it has suddenly come out again, which is a bit strange. "
"It's a bit strange." Chang Lingshan nodded.
"I heard this news yesterday or two days ago, and it was said by a foundation-building monk, so I didn't mention it to any fellow Taoists.
However, seeing that so many cultivators at the peak of the late Golden Core stage are here today, I am afraid that many people will believe this news. "
Chang Lingshan seemed to know that everyone still had doubts, so he said directly at this moment:
“Everyone knows that the elixirs, materials and other treasures in the Snow Fog Valley are different every ten years from before, and even the terrain changes slightly every time.
Therefore, many people have been speculating that this place may be connected to other dimensions. "
Chang Lingshan's words made Chu Ning and others nod. Everyone knew this.
This was also the reason why Chu Ning was still overjoyed that the Golden Winged Spirit Butterfly had advanced to the next level after getting the map given by the Yuanying monk from Shenyin Valley.
Because he was not sure whether he could still find the location according to the map he was given.
And even if it is found, will there still be the Nine Yi Gold?
At this time, Chang Lingshan continued:
"According to what the foundation-building monk said, before he came out of the valley ten years ago, he once saw a place where the Lingming Fruit grew.
But at that time, the Snow Fog Valley was about to be closed again by the blizzard, and the Lingming Fruit disappeared directly.
Therefore, he was unable to pick it. "
Chu Ning frowned slightly after hearing this.
“This kind of information is so secret, how could this person tell it?
And it was said just before the opening of Snow Mist Valley, so it didn’t sound reliable. "
Chang Lingshan nodded and continued:
"Who says it's not the case? But this person shouted three days ago before he was attacked by monsters and died in the inner sea. Many people heard it at that time.
In addition, this person has been attacked and killed by a monster, so there is no way to verify it.
I thought that not many people would believe it.
But now it seems..."
"Advancing to the level of Nascent Soul is still too tempting for Jindan monks." Wu Rongfeng sighed at this time.
"Especially for those late-stage Jindan cultivators who don't have long lifespans, being able to advance to Nascent Soul is their only hope.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no reason for a foundation-building monk to suddenly fabricate such a piece of information before his death. "
Several people nodded.
Although everyone felt that this information was too sudden, they also understood why there were so many late Jindan cultivators.
Chu Ning couldn't help but frown at this moment. Just now he thought that there wouldn't be too much trouble on this trip.
After all, there are not many people with real strength.
But now it seems that he was too optimistic just now.
Especially when he saw that there were more than ten late Jindan peak cultivators, Chu Ning couldn't help but shake his head.
The water in this world of immortal cultivation is really deep, and it is impossible to imagine how many old monsters are still hiding.
Just as Chu Ning was sighing like this.
A figure appeared, causing many cultivators to stir up again.
