Chapter 313: Fighting the Old Demon and Encountering Ancient Treasures
"Lingming Fruit? Everyone was discussing it in the Snow Mist Valley.
But everyone knows that it was just a lie deliberately made up by the demon race!"
"Haha!" Situ Yan chuckled at this moment.
"When the eighth-level demon beast said that, I thought so too.
At that time, I even thought that my last glimmer of hope was gone.
But I didn't expect that there would be a way out, and there was actually a Lingming Fruit in the Snow Mist Valley."
Situ Yan's voice became much louder at this moment.
"And it was found by a Jindan mid-stage cultivator like Chu Daoyou who didn't go deep into the bottom of the valley."
Without waiting for Chu Ning to say anything else, Situ Yan waved his hand and said:
"Chu Daoyou, don't rush to deny it. I have studied the Lingming Fruit for two or three hundred years.
If there is no definite evidence, I would not say so."
After hearing what Situ Yan said, Chu Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"How did Daoyou know it?"
Just now, he had thought about whether Xi Wenxia had leaked the news.
After all, in the past ten years, only this female foundation-building cultivator had entered his cave.
But later, after thinking carefully, he denied his speculation.
Let alone the restrictions he set up, Xi Wenxia could not see the Lingming fruit planted.
This old demon chose to live in the cave next to him before he let Xi Wenxia enter his cave.
The other party could not predict the future.
Hearing Chu Ning's question, Situ Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of heat.
Although he had long speculated that Chu Ning had the Lingming fruit in his hand, he was still very excited when Chu Ning admitted it.
However, Situ Yan was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, and his tone was still very calm at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Chu may not know that I am born with a different sense of breath than ordinary people.
Whether it is a cultivator, a demon beast or various spiritual plants, as long as they appear, I can sense it within a certain period of time.
When the eighth-level demon said that the Lingming Fruit was just a lie, I began to think about retreating.
Later, the two eighth-level demons wanted to eliminate the Yuanying cultivators of Huanling Sect first, so I found an opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of those demon beasts and escape."
Situ Yan paused slightly when he said this.
There was a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"But I didn't expect that when I flew out, I accidentally sensed the breath of the Lingming Fruit.
At the same time, there was also the breath of a human cultivator at the scene."
Hearing this, Chu Ning roughly understood the reason.
And Situ Yan continued:
"Originally, I stayed in Bingdao Fairy City for nearly ten days, but I didn't find that cultivator.
Especially in Changkong Palace, most of the cultivators who entered the valley appeared, but I didn't find him. I was distressed.
Daoyou appeared!"
Situ Yan said, and a smile appeared on his face.
"God is still kind to me, Situ Yan, and has not cut off my life."
Chu Ning sighed softly at this moment.
It seems that the old demon's method of distinguishing breath is not the same as that of ordinary cultivators.
Otherwise, if I had used the Yinmu Spirit Body to change my cultivation breath, how could the other party easily distinguish it.
This person was able to be famous in those days, and he was able to live for so long as a Jindan cultivator.
Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning slowly asked the other party:
"I don't know what Daoyou is going to do now, are you preparing to rob?"
"Daoyou, don't get me wrong." Situ Yan immediately shook his head and smiled.
"If I were going to do it directly, I wouldn't have said so much to you at the beginning.
I'm telling you so frankly just to let you feel my sincerity."
At this time, Situ Yan's face was full of kind smiles, so Chu Ning couldn't associate him with the words old devil, cruel and ruthless, and murderous.
At this time, Situ Yan looked at Chu Ning and said with expectation:
"There should be two Lingming Fruits. For us cultivators, only the first Lingming Fruit is effective.
It's useless for you or me to ask for more.
So I want to exchange a Lingming Fruit with you. You can tell me what conditions you have. I have collected some things for hundreds of years.
I think there should be something you are interested in."
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else about this after the transaction.
And leave Iceland Fairy City immediately.
In fact, when I came out this time, I had already returned the cave."
Chu Ning listened to Situ Yan and sighed in his heart.
If Wu Rongfeng, Chang Lingshan and other familiar cultivators came to negotiate a deal with him.
He might really agree.
After all, as Situ Yan said, cultivators only have one chance to take the Lingming Fruit in their lifetime.
Chu Ning only needs one.
But this person is called the Black Evil Old Demon, although Chu Ning did not know the details of his actions before.
However, Chu Ning does not intend to do such a thing of seeking the skin of a tiger.
He did not expect the other party to keep his promise.
If the deal is really completed, the other party will take the Lingming Fruit and go away to find a place to condense the Nascent Soul.
And this old demon does not even need to do much, just spread the word casually.
Next, Chu Ning will face endless troubles, and it is also likely that he will attract the Nascent Soul cultivator to take action.
After all, none of these Yuanying monks have any disciples.
This kind of thing that can help condense the Nascent Soul is really too tempting.
As for why the other party behaves like this, first talk to yourself for a long time.
Chu Ning guessed that the fact that he killed everyone in the Snow Fog Valley should still make the other party somewhat afraid.
Secondly, either the secret method that the other party has practiced before does have many restrictions on fighting.
Or the other party wants to get the thing first before talking about it.
But no matter what, Chu Ning would never believe that the other party would give up after completing the transaction.
And Chu Ning also knew very well that if he didn't give it this time, the old devil would definitely take action.
Today, the two sides are clearly fighting to the death.
However, Chu Ning still asked:
"Haha!" Situ Yan chuckled at this moment.
"The Lingming Fruit is very important to me, so I have no choice but to take action against my fellow Taoist."
After hearing this, Chu Ning sighed and said:
“At this point, I don’t seem to have much choice.
Fellow Taoist has already reached the peak of the late Jindan stage three hundred years ago. If I really don't give it to you, I am afraid that I will face the end of physical death and Taoist disappearance. "
Speaking of this, Chu Ning paused slightly.
Then he continued: "But fellow Taoist should also know the value of this Lingming Fruit, if I really take the initiative to exchange it.
It must be enough to make the late-stage Jindan monks and even Nascent Soul monks in the entire Northern Cold Land fight for their heads.
Naturally, you can choose whatever you can exchange for.
How about you, Taoist friend, first tell me what items you are willing to give, and I will think about it later? "
"That's what it should be." Situ Yan nodded, then stretched out his hand and took out several things from the storage bag.
"I have a rare piece of weapon-refining material here, Xuanling Earth Crystal, which is an excellent material for refining top-level magic weapons.
And it can be applied to materials with various properties, making it one of the top ten most popular weapon refining materials in ancient times. "
After hearing this, Chu Ning's eyes flashed slightly.
Xuanling Earth Crystal is a weapon refining material as famous as Black Xuanjin in ancient times.
The main function of Black Mysterious Gold is to enhance the attack power of the magic weapon and increase its mana.
And this Xuanling Earth Crystal increases the toughness of the magic weapon.
At this time, Situ Yan raised a jade box again.
"There is also a Wonderful Divine Fruit here. Although this spiritual fruit is not as effective as the Lingming Fruit in helping to condense the Nascent Soul.
However, this fruit is the best treasure for strengthening spiritual consciousness, and it is also effective for Nascent Soul monks. "
Chu Ning nodded, this is also a good thing.
He had heard the name of the Wonderful God Fruit before, but had never seen it before.
At this time, Situ Yan took out a jade slip again.
"This slip records the location of Taixuyuan, the most treasured place in Beihan.
Fellow Taoist is so young and has such a treasure as the Lingming Fruit, it is only a matter of time before he can condense the Nascent Soul.
At that time, you can go to this abyss to explore, and it is very possible to harvest one or two ancient treasures. "
"Tai Xuyuan?" This was the first time Chu Ning heard this name, and she couldn't help but feel slightly startled.
However, he had always been calm, and he remained unmoved at this moment.
When Situ Yan saw this, the wrinkles covering his forehead wrinkled together.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, could it be that these three kinds of treasures are not enough to meet the needs of fellow daoist?"
Chu Ning sighed softly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Situ, these treasures of yours are indeed very good.
But apart from this wonderful fruit, the other two things may not be used for a long time. "
After a pause, Chu Ning asked tentatively:
"I wonder if my fellow Taoist has any ancient treasures, or treasures like thousand-year-old spiritual liquid that can be used by me?"
When Situ Yan heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Fellow Taoist is joking, even Yuanying monks may not have this ancient treasure in their hands.
I'm just a golden elixir cultivator, so how can I be there?
As for the Millennium Spiritual Milk..."
Situ Yan gave Chu Ning a meaningful look.
"I do have a few drops left, but I can't give them to fellow Taoist friends now.
Otherwise, the Taoist friend will suddenly regret it after getting it and start fighting with me.
With this thousand-year-old spiritual milk to replenish my spiritual power, my old bones can't bear it. "
"Old fox!"
Chu Ning muttered secretly in her heart at this moment.
He really wanted to see if he could get one or two things from Situ Yan that would enhance his immediate combat power.
But he didn't expect that the other party had already been on guard.
Therefore, Chu Ning could only say:
As he said that, Chu Ning touched the storage bag in his hand.
Situ Yan looked at Chu Ning's actions, a strange color flashed in his turbid eyes, but he still nodded and said:
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please respect yourself and don't play any tricks.
Otherwise, the name of the Black Demon is not called in vain. "
With that said, this person threw all three things directly towards Chu Ning.
Chu Ning did not reach out to take it.
Instead, he used his magic power to transform into a big hand that directly held three things.
The next moment, Chu Ning cast several spells and landed on the jade box containing three things.
After a few spells, several wisps of white smoke quickly emerged from the jade boxes.
Seeing Chu Ning's actions, Situ Yan's eyes flashed.
Then he gave Chu Ning a meaningful look.
At this time, Chu Ning put all three jade boxes into an empty storage bag expressionlessly.
Facing Situ Yan's gaze, Chu Ning said calmly:
"I heard that there was a secret talisman in ancient times. If you stick it on an item, it will appear as if it is nothing, and if the item is stored in a storage bag.
The person who casts the talisman can not only see the contents of the storage bag.
Even clever ones can use this secret talisman to control the opponent's storage bag.
Fellow Daoist Situ, I wonder if what I’m saying is right? "
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Situ Yan laughed dryly.
"Fellow Taoist is joking, I have never heard of such ancient secret talismans.
What was just on the jade box was just some small marks I had made out of caution before.
These things have been kept in the storage bag for more than two hundred years, and I have forgotten them. "
After hearing this, Chu Ning smiled lightly.
There is no need to say anything more. He saw this secret talisman from a classic book he obtained from the Wolong Valley.
Although Chu Ning does not know how to make talismans, it is not difficult for him to remove such talismans.
The next moment, Chu Ning took out something from his hand and threw it directly towards Situ Yan.
But it's a wooden box.
"Fellow Taoist, continue!"
Situ Yan looked at the flying wooden box, his eyes flashing slightly.
It also transformed into a big black hand and grabbed the wooden box.
As soon as the big hand appeared, Chu Ning felt an extremely vicious demonic energy.
"snort!"
But at this moment, Situ Yan's cold snort sounded.
But at this moment, the wooden box in the air was opened. Where was the Lingming Fruit, there was only a red flame.
There was a faint hint of dark purple in the middle of the flame. When the lid of the box was opened, it flew straight out and flew towards the old black devil.
With this old devil's powerful magic hand full of demonic aura, he was unable to stop him in the slightest!
Upon seeing this, the demon's entire aura changed, and its entire body was filled with demonic aura.
Vaguely, the whole person was wrapped in a layer of faint purple energy.
At the same time, his hands were raised quickly, and a purple-black demonic energy was directed at the small flames in the air.
But this flame is indeed overbearing.
Many purple demonic energies came into contact, but they melted away one after another.
It wasn't until the flames flew two feet in front of Situ Yan that the demon opened its mouth and sprayed out.
A short sword glowing with black light flew out, and was immediately wrapped in purple-black demonic energy, facing the earth vein essence fire.
The flames dispersed under this blow.
But a very thin wisp of red-purple flame flew back, fell into Chu Ning's hand again and disappeared.
As for the old black demon, his expression was not very good at the moment.
"Earth Essence Fire, you have refined this kind of strange fire, I look down upon you."
Hearing what the other party said, Chu Ning smiled faintly, then raised his hand, and there was a flaming red flying sword in his hand.
"The power of the Earth Vein Essence Fire is indeed extremely powerful. I only condensed a very small trace into an ordinary fire ball.
It can produce such power.
If you directly rely on the earth vein essence fire to attack, the opponent may not be able to resist it at all.
However, although the earth vein essence fire is said to be used normally, it will not consume much.
But after refining, it merges with its own essence.
If it is used in large quantities, especially if it is damaged, it is possible to lose some essence.
So it’s better to combine it with spells and magic weapons, and let’s talk about it at critical moments…”
In ten years, Chu Ning has already mastered the use of earth vein essence fire.
The Fire Spirit Sword flew out and wrapped a wisp of earth essence fire directly on it.
Chu Ning casually pointed, and the Fire Spirit Sword shot towards the black evil old demon.
When the old devil saw Chu Ning offering his magic weapon, he sneered and waved his hand.
The short sword wrapped in purple mist came directly towards him.
"!!"
The two collided in the air, and the purple demonic energy that was originally wrapped around the short sword was now directly wrapped around Chu Ning's Fire Spirit Sword.
"Eh? This purple mist is a bit weird!"
When Chu Ning saw this, she was slightly shocked.
Then I felt relieved again.
Since the purple mist was transformed by demonic energy, it might be used for pollution.
Not to mention that he has earth vein essence fire attached to the sword body.
Even the spiritual sword refined with black black gold cannot be contaminated by anything.
Situ Yan didn't know it, but he watched the purple mist wrap the Fire Spirit Sword.
He pointed casually, and the black knife turned in the air and shot directly towards Chu Ning.
What surprised Situ Yan was that at this moment, a burst of red light suddenly burst out from the purple mist.
There was a faint red-purple light.
At the same time, the spirit sword turned into a red light streaking across the sky with blazing red and purple flames all over its body.
In just a blink of an eye, he was in front of Situ Yan.
The black short sword that Situ Yan used before was blocked by a golden flying sword at this moment.
The sudden changes on both ends of the offense and defense were indeed far beyond Situ Yan's expectations.
But this old demon who had experienced many battles was not at all panicked.
I saw purple mist surging around him, quickly gathering in front of him.
It turned into a purple-black shield.
He instantly resisted Chu Ning's menacing Fire Spirit Sword.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand to recall the black magic weapon short sword.
How could Chu Ning let him get what he wanted.
With a hand seal, a stream of Gengjin Qi shot out and landed on the golden spirit sword.
"Bah!"
Above the Golden Spirit Sword, a loud bird song suddenly erupted!
The next moment, the golden spirit sword struck the black short sword heavily with Gengjin energy.
"Ding!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
The black short knife was hit hard and fell down, and most of its spiritual charm was lost.
It was Situ Yan's magic weapon, and it was almost destroyed under Chu Ning's attack!
"There is something strange about your flying sword!"
Since the fight, Situ Yan finally lost his composure for the first time.
This is his life magic weapon that he has nurtured and cultivated for hundreds of years, but it was destroyed by this attack. How can this not make people angry!
But at this moment, Situ Yan could no longer care about driving the black short knife.
But at this moment, Chu Ning raised his hand, and a ball of nail-sized, purple-red flame floated out.
It seemed slow, but it was already on the Golden Spirit Sword in just a blink of an eye.
The purple mist on Situ Yan's purple mist shield also quickly dissipated.
And at the same time as the shield dissipated.
The Fire Spirit Sword also blasted directly towards Situ Yan!
But at the same time, purple mist flashed where Situ Yan was.
The Fire Spirit Sword actually missed.
"Not good!"
At this time, Chu Ning's heart moved.
The Divine Wind Escape was used, and the man disappeared ten feet away.
At the same time, purple mist surged where he had just stood, and a figure appeared.
Who else could it be but Situ Yan?
"What a fast body movement!"
Chu Ning was slightly surprised.
When he saw that Situ Yan's figure disappeared again, he couldn't help but snorted.
The Divine Wind Escape was used again, and the man also flashed out.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed directly behind him.
Void Finger!
Situ Yan, who was chasing closely, saw that he could get close to Chu Ning and attack him, but he didn't expect that at this time, Chu Ning could actually launch a fierce attack.
When he felt the power of the Void Finger, it was too late to dodge.
"Hmm!"
He took a blow from the Void Finger and felt a strong destructive force drilling into his body.
Situ couldn't help but groan, and retreated quickly.
Chu Ning remembered to fight at this moment, how could he let the other party go so easily this time.
With a wave of his hand, two flying swords shot out quickly.
Forcing Situ Yan to dodge constantly.
He could only rely on his excellent escape technique to dodge constantly.
But Situ Yan's escape technique was indeed very good, and Chu Ning's two flying swords were extremely fast.
But he could almost dodge every time.
It was just that Situ Yan, who had been at the peak of the late Jindan for many years, could only flee in embarrassment when facing a mid-Jindan cultivator, which made the old black devil very frustrated.
His face became uglier and uglier.
And Chu Ning could also feel that the escape technique performed by Situ Yan seemed to consume a lot of mana.
After just a while, he found that the aura on the other party was much weaker.
"The other party should have some tricks up his sleeve, but I don't know why he didn't use them."
Just as Chu Ning was thinking this, Situ Yan dodged several times and suddenly took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag.
He poured a drop of something from it into his mouth.
Then, purple demonic energy surged around him, and his breath was strong.
"Thousand-year spiritual milk!"
When Chu Ning saw this, he immediately knew what the other party had just eaten.
He also knew in his heart that this old demon was probably going to use his best tricks at this moment.
He immediately recalled the two spiritual swords, opened his mouth and sprayed out two more spiritual swords.
The four spiritual swords merged into one, forming a huge spiritual sword.
At this time, Chu Ning saw that Situ Yan raised his hand and unexpectedly had a black short knife that was extremely similar to his life magic weapon just now.
Chu Ning was slightly stunned, and the next moment, he suddenly felt a strong power from the short knife.
Immediately, his eyes flashed slightly, and two words blurted out.
"Ancient treasure!"
