Chapter 554: Jiuyan Lingshan (two in one)

Thousands of miles away, Chu Ning, who had already changed his appearance with the shape-shifting spell, continued to cast the forbidden divine spell to fly forward.

But at this moment he no longer used the void escape technique, but instead used the thunder escape technique.

“Thanks to the fact that I have figured out a method to use Yuanli to drive the power of space in the past few months on Ziguang Island.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape easily today."

Feeling that the two late Nascent Soul cultivators from Xingyu Sect did not chase after him, Chu Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He could still use the teleportation technique, but the energy in his body was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, I had spent a few months on Ziguang Island and had been learning how to use my energy.

Not only can the teleportation distance reach forty feet.

The consumption of energy has also been greatly reduced compared to the beginning.

This allowed him to use the void escape technique to continuously increase the distance between him and the two great monks.

Finally, with the help of the cover of clouds and the rational use of forbidden magic, he was able to completely escape.

“I didn’t expect that Xingyu Sect actually had two Nascent Soul late stage cultivators near this sea area.

From today on, the feud with the Xingyu Sect has truly deepened."

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Ning's eyes at this moment.

Since he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he has rarely been in such a state of distress.

But since he was alone anyway, he didn't have much to worry about.

If I really encounter a cultivator from the Xingyu Sect again in the future, I will have to kill them all!
While thinking, Chu Ning used the Thunder Escape Technique to move forward quickly.

He even consumed a drop of thousand-year-old spiritual milk in the process.

They flew like this for several days, and were sure that the two late Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xingyu Sect would no longer be able to catch up.

Chu Ning then found an uninhabited deserted mountain and began to practice and recover.

He has the magic power of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, but to restore the energy in his body, he can only rely on the practice of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra and the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Sutra.

Now that he had realized the magical effect of Yuanli, he naturally wanted to keep his Yuanli full in case of emergency.

After waiting for his condition to fully recover, Chu Ning flew up again and headed towards the Jian family.

After several days passed, he came to a villa built on the mountain.

It is called a villa, but in Chu Ning's opinion, it is more like a small town.

People were coming and going, it was bustling, it was so lively.

"It seems that this Daoist Fellow Jian has really spread his branches and leaves and has many descendants."

Chu Ning took a quick look and found that many of the people had similar faces, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Then it landed directly in front of the gate of the compound.

Chu Ning had already been seen by the gatekeeper when he flew in from the sky.

At this moment, a foundation-building cultivator stepped forward and glanced at Chu Ning, then immediately bowed and said:
"Is this person Senior Chu?"

Chu Ning had now returned to his original appearance, and knew that this must have been something Jian Qingshan had explained before.

He nodded and said, "Yes, is Fellow Daoist Jian here?"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I am sorry for not coming to meet you in person. I am so rude!"

Chu Ning had just finished speaking when a voice came from the courtyard, approaching from afar.

When the last word fell, a figure appeared in front of Chu Ning. It was Jian Qingshan.

He smiled and bowed to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is really punctual. Come in!"

Jian Qingshan returned the gift and made an inviting gesture.

The two of them entered the yard side by side and went straight to the inner courtyard.

Some monks who were entering and leaving before now showed expressions of surprise.

"Who is this senior? He looks so young, and he even has the ancestor come out to greet him personally."

"Just now, the ancestor addressed this senior fellow Taoist as a friend. Could he be a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Such a young Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Many young people at the door were talking, and the middle-aged man who was guarding the door before immediately scolded:

"No rudeness!"

As soon as this person said this, all the young people were suddenly silent.

At this moment, Jian Qingshan, who was leading Chu Ning inside, smiled bitterly at Chu Ning and said:
"The young generation at home is ignorant, please forgive me for making fun of you, fellow Taoist."

With their spiritual awareness, they could clearly hear the discussions outside the door.

"It's okay." Chu Ning smiled at this moment.

“I still envy the young people in Fellow Daoist Jian’s family, who were able to come into contact with Nascent Soul level cultivators at such an early age.

When I was this age, I thought that becoming a foundation-building cultivator was out of my reach."

Jian Qingshan laughed after hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is really good at joking. For a genius like you, the elders in the sect must be extraordinary."

Chu Ning smiled and didn't respond.

Except for Cen Zijin, no one else knows about his starting point and experience, and even if he tells it, I'm afraid others won't believe it.

Who would have thought that when he first entered the world of cultivating immortals, he was just a menial disciple of a small sect.

The two chatted and laughed as they entered a hall in the backyard. There were already three monks in the hall.

There were two men and one woman. The men were older and looked to be nearly sixty years old.

One of them is in the middle stage of Jindan, while the other is in the late stage of Jindan.

At this moment, Chu Ning's gaze couldn't help but sweep over the old man in the late Jindan stage.

He vaguely guessed that this was the cultivator from the Jian family who had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage that Wu Chenzi had mentioned.

As for the woman, she looked to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Judging from her appearance alone, she looked similar to Chu Ning.

However, he is at the middle stage of the Golden Core.

This woman is quite pretty, and can be ranked among the top among the many female cultivators Chu Ning has seen before.

Jian Qingshan also smiled and introduced to Chu Ning:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, these are considered to be the few younger generations in the clan who are more worthy of your attention.

The rest of the people's cultivation was too low, so they were not allowed to appear."

As he spoke, he introduced his name to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning had seen them all, but didn't take them too seriously.

Having reached the level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, he no longer paid much attention to ordinary Jindan cultivators.

Jian Qingshan also knew Chu Ning's purpose. After a brief greeting, he turned to the woman and said:
"Man'er, take out the materials we prepared and let Fellow Daoist Chu take a look."

Upon seeing this, the young woman named Jian Man immediately took out three boxes from her storage bag and placed them on a tray.

Then he opened them one by one and said to Chu Ning:
"Senior Chu, these are the materials that the patriarch asked us to find. Please see if they meet the requirements."

When Jian Man took out a few things, Chu Ning had already looked around.

There were three items on the tray.

A piece of vine as crystal clear as jade, a piece of dark yellow stone, and a piece of silvery-white metallic material.

Chu Ning was naturally very familiar with the materials he wanted to collect, and he recognized them all at a glance.

"White Jade Vine, Yellow Obsidian, and Cold Glass Iron."

As Chu Ning whispered the names of the three materials, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face.

Then he reached out and picked up the three ingredients one by one from the tray in Jian Man's hand.

Jian Qingshan immediately smiled and said:

"It seems that we were not wrong. We have finally lived up to your trust."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jian. I am very satisfied with these materials."

Chu Ning did not beat around the bush at this moment.

He was very satisfied with the materials provided by Jian Qingshan, not just because the other party provided the three materials as promised.

But these three materials are actually the materials for refining the Black Turtle Shield.

With this and the various materials he had accumulated before, there is only one kind left for refining the Black Turtle Shield, the Gray Gang Stone.

At this moment, Chu Ning put the three materials into the storage bag one by one, and asked Jian Qingshan directly:
"Friend Jian, I still need a material called Gray Gang Stone. I wonder if you can help me."

"Gray Gang Stone?" After hearing this, Jian Qingshan turned to Jian Man and said:

"Man'er, do you know where it is?"

After saying that, looking at Chu Ning's slightly puzzled expression, Jian Qingshan smiled and explained:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, Jian Man is currently in charge of all matters concerning the clan's contacts with the major trading companies.

She also manages many of the family businesses.

So if there is something rare in the outside world, she knows it better than me."

Hearing this, Chu Ning's gaze fell on Jian Man, who was standing not far from him, with a little surprise.

Jian Man is already in the middle stage of the Golden Core at such a young age. Chu Ning thought that she must be the kind of person who practices hard in the family.

I didn't expect that this person is still running the business.

Facing Chu Ning's gaze, Jian Man smiled and said:
"Senior Chu, after the patriarch gave me the materials I needed, I asked around and found out that all the materials I could get are here.

I have never heard of anywhere else that material called gray stone can be found.

However, one month later, Tianyi Sect will organize a large-scale trade fair, during which many treasures may be taken out.

If you want some refining materials, why not try this trade fair?"

"Tianyi Sect!"

Hearing this name, Chu Ning's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly.

The nine top forces in the Tianmu Continent are the Four Sects, Three Gates and Two Palaces.

Among them, one sect is considered to be the most powerful sect.

They are the righteous Tianyi Sect and the evil Wanmo Sect.

Since it is a trading conference organized by Tianyi Sect, the probability of various treasures appearing is indeed higher.

So Chu Ning immediately asked:
"I wonder how to participate in the Tianyi Sect's trading conference. Are there any restrictions?"

“There are no limits!”

Jian Man smiled at this time.

“At that time, as long as you pay a certain amount of spirit stones to Tianyi Sect, you will be able to enter the venue and participate in the transaction.

Of course, cultivators of different levels of cultivation pay different numbers of spirit stones and enter different venues.

The cultivators below the Jindan stage pay 10,000 spirit stones, the Jindan stage cultivators pay 30,000 spirit stones, and the Yuanying stage cultivators pay 50,000 spirit stones."

When Chu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The so-called no restrictions, the admission qualification is actually the threshold.

For cultivators below the Jindan level who can pay 10,000 spirit stones to purchase the qualification to enter once, they must either have a high level of cultivation or be of extraordinary wealth.

This has actually screened out a large portion of the monks.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivator taking out 50,000 spirit stones, in Chu Ning's opinion, it was not a threshold.

However, with this charging threshold, as the number of monks increased, the amount of admission fees received by Tianyi Sect alone was an astonishing number.

Jian Qingshan saw Chu Ning's expression and laughed:

"Ha, Fellow Daoist Chu, this trade fair does cost a lot of spirit stones to enter. But there are indeed a lot of good things every time, some of which belong to Tianyi Sect.

In fact, many of them were entrusted by other sects to Tianyi Sect to be put into the trade fair, so basically the cultivators who went there would not return empty-handed.

In fact, after Tianyi Sect received these spirit stones, it was also going to distribute them to other sects.

Otherwise, even if Tianyi Sect was very powerful, the other major forces would not allow Tianyi Sect to monopolize it. "

After hearing this, Chu Ning suddenly understood.

He said that the other sects in Tianmu Continent were also so powerful, so how could they be like Tianyi Sect.

Jian Qingshan continued to laugh at this time:

“If you are willing, you might as well stay in this village for a longer time.

Jane will also go to join in the fun, so we will have company."

When Chu Ning heard this, he thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but I do want to join in the fun.

But I have an urgent matter to deal with, and I don’t know if I can make it in time.”

Chu Ning was naturally very interested in the Xintian Sect's trade fair.

But he also knew that since it was such a large-scale trade fair, there would probably be many sects attending.

It may include Xingyu Sect and Tianqiong Palace.

I'm afraid these two sects will be targeted as soon as he appears.

So if he wants to attend, it would be better for him to change his appearance.

In this case, it would naturally be inconvenient to travel with Jian Qingshan.

When Jian Qingshan heard Chu Ning say this, he was obviously a little surprised.

In his opinion, Chu Ning would almost certainly go.

However, their relationship had not yet reached the point where they could talk about anything, so it was naturally not appropriate for Jian Qingshan to ask at this time.

At this time, Jian Man took out a jade slip from her storage bag and showed it to Chu Ning.

"Senior Chu, you have lived overseas for a long time. I wonder if you have seen this kind of material?"

Origin Stone!
When Chu Ning saw what was engraved on the jade slip in Jian Man's hand, his heart moved slightly.

However, there was no change in the expression on his face.

He had seen this kind of origin stone in the North Cold Land and the Western Alliance Continent. It was not surprising that the Sky Curtain Continent existed in such a large area.

What Chu Ning didn't expect was that in a place like the Jian family, they could take out Origin Stones at will.

With a calm expression on his face, Chu Ning continued to stare at Jian Man's origin stone and said:

“I seem to have seen it in the hands of a fellow Taoist before, but it’s been so long that I can’t remember clearly.

Moreover, I didn’t know the name of this crystal stone, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

When Jian Man heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Senior Chu, have you really seen the Origin Stone overseas? Do you remember where exactly?"

Seeing Jian Man's expression, Chu Ningli moved again. He vaguely guessed that there might be some secret behind this.

Then he looked thoughtful.

"Oh, is this thing called Origin Stone? It's been a while, I saw it in a small market."

Having said this, Chu Ning paused for a moment, and asked Jian Man in a casual tone:
"Fellow Daoist Jian, is there something special about this Origin Stone? It has attracted so much attention from you."

When Jian Man heard this, she showed a hint of hesitation. Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled faintly and said:
"I am just curious for the moment. If it is inconvenient for you, you don't have to tell me."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, what are you talking about now?" Jian Qingshan took over the conversation with a smile.

Then he said to Jian Man:

"Man'er, just tell Fellow Daoist Chu the truth."

"Yes, head of the family!" Jian Man responded to Jian Qingshan.

Then he turned to Chu Ning and said:
“Senior Chu, we also heard some gossip.

It is said that the Jiuyan Sacred Mountain, where the cave of Master Jiuyan, the first cultivator in this world to advance to the God Transformation Stage and fly to the upper world, is located, will appear in the world in one or two years.

If you can get this source stone, combined with the map of Jiuyan Lingshan, you can enter Jiuyan Lingshan."

"Nine Yanling Mountain!"

At this moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Chu Ning's face.

At this moment he was indeed very surprised.

You know, what he hoped most when he came to Tianmu Continent was to find some cultivation methods.

Among them, the third volume of the Jiuyan Body Refining Art and the subsequent techniques of the Soul Refining Art are the most urgent.

You know, after advancing to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, practicing the Five Elements Chaos Art will at least bring a certain increase in his magic power.

However, the Nine Evolutions Body Refining Technique and Soul Refining Technique would basically not bring any improvement to his physical body and spiritual consciousness.

Now that I have obtained the True Spirit Secret, I have begun to practice it.

Hearing the news about Jiuyan Lingshan at this moment, Chu Ning was naturally very concerned.

Because according to his guess, the most likely place for the third volume of the Jiuyan Body Refining Art to appear is in the Jiuyan Sacred Mountain.

Chu Ning's expression changed at this moment, but it didn't surprise Jian Qingshan and others too much.

Almost all high-level cultivators have heard of the name of Master Jiuyan.

As long as you hear about the existence of an ancient cave like Jiuyan Lingshan, you will naturally pay attention to it.

"Friend Jian, could you please explain this matter in more detail?"

Chu Ning immediately asked.

After receiving instructions from Jian Qingshan, Jian Man did not hide anything and told everything the Jian family knew.

According to her, this Jiuyan Sacred Mountain appears once every thousand years.

Most of the locations are in the sea areas surrounding the Tianmu Continent.

At this time, anyone who holds the Jiuyan Lingshan map can sense the location of the Lingshan Mountain.

And possessing the Origin Stone is the key to entering the Jiuyan Lingshan Mountain.

Although the present time is not very accurate, the deviation is basically only one or two years.

If we calculate based on the time, Jiuyan Lingshan will appear in the world in one or two years.

Now that the cultivator has the map of Jiuyan Lingshan in his hands, naturally there will be no leakage of any news.

However, the Origin Stone is still being sold at extremely high prices among many forces in the Tianmu Continent.

When Chu Ning asked further about the Jiuyan Lingshan, Jian Man was unable to give any more details.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, among those large sects with inherited traditions, there may be more detailed information about Jiuyan Lingshan.

Our Jian family became wealthy from Jian, and there is no more detailed information. "

Jian Qingshan spoke with some regret at this moment.

After a pause, he added:

"But it is said that the Jiuyan Lingshan map may appear at the Tianyi Sect's trade fair this time."

Chu Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"The Tianyi Sect would actually offer such a treasure for a trade?"

After hearing this, Jian Qingshan sighed and said:

“In fact, among the major sects in Tianmu Continent, there must be more than one map of Jiuyan Lingshan.

For them, as long as they can find the location of Jiuyan Lingshan, one more or one less map doesn't really matter."

After saying this, Jian Qingshan laughed at himself and said:

"Besides, even if we really get the map of Jiuyan Lingshan, what are the chances that casual cultivators like us can get treasures if we go in?"

“In fact, we want to find this source stone because some sects and forces wanted it recently.

And the other party also proposed that the treasure that our Jian family had set their sights on could only be exchanged for the Origin Stone."

At this time, Chu Ning was unable to judge whether what Jian Qingshan said was true or not.

However, even if what the other party said was true, Chu Ning did not intend to take out his Origin Stone.

Firstly, I have already said that. If I take out the Origin Stone now, it would be contradictory.

Secondly, since this source stone has such wonderful uses, if Chu Ning takes it out, the news will inevitably leak out.

I'm afraid it will be too troublesome by then.

After all, Chu Ning couldn't say that he completely trusted the Jian family.

So at this moment Chu Ning also laughed and said:
"Your words are reasonable, fellow Daoist. We, as casual cultivators, should not covet such a sacred mountain and precious land."

As he spoke, Chu Ning handed the jade slip back to Jian Man.

"Fellow Daoist Jian, if I remember correctly, I saw this item in the hands of a casual cultivator in the Donglai Island Market a hundred years ago.

After so many years, I'm afraid there won't be any clues left."

Donglai Island is the largest island for independent cultivators in the eastern waters. This random reason Chu Ning came up with sounds flawless.

Sure enough, after hearing Chu Ning's words, both Jian Man and Jian Qingshan showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Chu Ning's information is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jian Man returned to her seat at this time, while Jian Qingshan started chatting with Chu Ning.

It was not until this moment that his other two juniors occasionally added a word or two.

After staying in the Jian family villa for half a day, Chu Ning got up and said goodbye and left.

Although Jian Qingshan tried to persuade Chu Ning to stay many times, after seeing that Chu Ning was determined to leave, he had no choice but to send Chu Ning out the door.

Only after Chu Ning fled far away did he return to the main hall of the manor with a few younger generations.

"Master, is this Fellow Daoist Chu really so powerful?

Even the secret of Jiuyan Lingshan is to be told to him without reservation?"

Jian Man asked with some confusion.

Jian Qingshan's expression was unusually calm at this time.

“I asked you to speak up and test the waters before because I thought he had been overseas for many years and wanted to see if he had any news about the Origin Stone.

But now that I've opened the door, there's no need to hide anything anymore.

After all, this news is not really a big secret. If he really goes to the Tianyi Sect's trade fair, he will be able to find out more.

and……"

Having said this, Jian Qingshan paused for a moment and said seriously:

“Moreover, this person has extraordinary cultivation and magical powers. He fought with Master Yuan Lang in front of us and was not at a disadvantage.

After we left, the two of them probably fought each other, and then Master Yuan Lang went into seclusion.

This shows that even though Master Yuan Lang did not look down on others, he probably did not have an absolute advantage.

Remember, we can't afford to offend such people.

Since we cannot make closer friends with such people, we should try not to make them enemies."

Jian Qingshan turned around and warned them seriously.

"Yes, master!"

Several descendants of the Jian family came immediately.

Jian Man even raised her head and looked at the seat where Chu Ning had been sitting before, and a strange look flashed in her bright eyes.
