Chapter 248 Elder Yan’s Counterattack

Fast forward fifteen years.

Chu Ning opened her eyes in the cave, and her eyes fell on the black iron box in the corner.

The eggs of Taixu Breaking Forbidden Ant have hatched.

Chu Ning opened the iron box and found nine finger-sized ants covered in yellow inside.

From the fifteen eggs, nine Taixu Forbidden Ants hatched and came out. The remaining six eggs also burst, but the Taixu Forbidden Forbidden ants failed to crawl out and were already dead.

Chu Ning formed a seal with his hands and placed a tiny restriction on the iron box. The nine young ants seemed to smell the smell of food and began to swim around.

Buzz!

The next moment, a young ant flew up and hit the ban, but it did not bounce back. Instead, its entire body stuck to the ban.

Young ants are sucking the ban.

Chu Ning just observed this, and soon the other eight young ants also flapped their wings and flew up, all of them sticking to the edge of the ban.

Three days.

The entire restriction was devoured by these nine young ants.

This is a second-level restriction, equivalent to the energy of a second-level formation.

The young ants that had sucked the restraint did not fly back to the iron box, but just hung motionless in the air, as if falling asleep through the air.

Taixu breaks the forbidden ants and feeds on forbidden energy, but it also takes time to digest, especially since they are still young ants, the forbidden energy they can swallow is limited.

Chu Ning waved his hand and controlled the other eight young ants back into the iron box, and there was a young ant in his palm.

The young ant did not fall into a dangerous panic at all, and still maintained a peaceful sleep. Chu Ning noticed that on the young ant, there was a layer of yellow halo flowing up and down the abdomen of the young ant.

According to the jade slip in Yue Canghai's storage bag about the feeding of Taixu-breaking forbidden ants, the young ants will fall asleep and digest after they are full of forbidden energy.

After waking up, it will continue to eat. The more forbidden energy it swallows, the higher the level of the forbidden energy it can crack.

Chu Ning put the young ants in his palm back into the iron box, and then placed several small restrictions so that the young ants could actively absorb the restricted energy after they woke up.

After all the restrictions were placed, Chu Ning closed the iron box, put it back into the storage bag, and then walked out of the cave.

The next moment, Chu Ning's figure appeared on a lake.

For safety reasons, Chu Ning moved the cave from the top of Nian Tang Mountain to a lake on the mountainside.

The cave was moved under the lake to prevent sneak attacks. The concealment formation he set up meant that unless he was a god-transforming monk, his spiritual consciousness would not be able to scan the cave under the lake.

For the past fifteen years, Chu Ning has been refining elixirs in the cave in Tangshan.

He made a batch of each type of elixir from the medicinal materials given to him by his master, and each batch was made of top-grade elixirs.

With the help of the Mysterious Mirror, it is not difficult to refine a top-quality fourth-grade elixir.

And this is what the master asked of him.

Only when these elixirs are refined into high-grade ones, the sect will arrange for him to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and then try to refine fifth-grade elixirs.

After coming out of the cave, Chu Ning immediately headed to the Lingtian area on the mountainside.

In the Lingtian area, there is his formation layout. Looking outside the formation, it is an ordinary mountainside with some trees and weeds.

Chu Ning formed a seal with her hands, opened the formation, and walked in.

Walking into the formation, the scent of elixir hit your nostrils.

Looking around, one can see a vast expanse of green with several exotic flowers blooming in it.

These few elixir plants that have already bloomed were already at the end of their growth period when they were in the elixir garden, and they were only a hundred years away from their maturity before they withered.

Chu Ning spent thousands of contribution points to get it from the senior brothers in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

In the center of this area, there are four small waist-high trees.

Although the tree is not tall, its body is wide enough for two people to embrace it, and hundreds of roots are exposed on the surface.

Asparagus tree.

The sixth-level strange tree takes three thousand years to mature, and after it matures, it will bear asparagus fruits every three hundred years.

Asparagus fruit is an extremely precious elixir that can be taken directly or used to make elixirs. In addition, the roots of the asparagus tree can also be used as medicine and are an excellent material for refining weapons.

The Dragon Beard Tree is truly a treasure.

After reviewing the growth of the elixir, Chu Ning left with satisfaction.

This elixir garden will be his greatest reliance in a thousand years.

Chu Ning's plan for himself was to use the Harvest Project to break through to godhood after a thousand years.

However, this harvest plan has just begun. His goal is to plant five hundred kinds of high-level elixirs.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Chu Ning sighed with emotion, restarted the formation, and the next moment his body transformed into a rainbow of light and left Nian Tangshan towards the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

After being in seclusion for more than ten years, I should be able to go to the elixir garden to purchase goods again.

After Chu Ning left Nian Tangshan, the surrounding clouds and mist quickly surrounded Nian Tangshan. From the outside, only the outline of the mountain could be seen.

Chu Ning arranged a total of fifteen formations around Nian Tangshan, all of which were third-level formations. The clouds and mist were only the outermost layer. Once someone came close, they would be bounced away by the first-level formations inside. And if they were to If you force your way in, a formation attack will be triggered.

The sixth peak.

In the main hall, Qi Shiyun and four other elders were discussing matters at the moment.

The peak master of the sixth peak of Danshan Sect has been in seclusion for a long time. Many matters on the sixth peak are decided upon by the elders.

"Elders, no matter what, this broken baby fruit must belong to my disciple Chu Ning."

Qi Shiyun spoke firmly. Qin Libang listened to this and smiled bitterly: "Elder Qi, the four of us naturally have no objections. Now it is the Fifth Peak that is causing trouble."

The Broken Baby Fruit is a sixth-level spiritual fruit that is extremely precious and is the main material for refining the Broken Baby Pill.

In the early stage of Nascent Soul, Broken Infant Pill is considered to be the most valuable pill.

Taking a Broken Infant Pill can allow a monk in the early stage of Yuanying to enter the middle stage of Yuanying.

The way Qi Shiyun prepared for Chu Ning to enter the middle stage of Yuanying was to take the Broken Infant Pill. As long as Chu Ning took the Broken Infant Pill and spent decades in seclusion to refine the power of the Broken Infant Pill, he would be able to smoothly enter the Nascent Soul. mid-term.

Originally, Qi Shiyun had made arrangements to refine the Infant Broken Pill for her disciples as soon as she got the Broken Baby Fruit. But now something unexpected happened, she naturally would not agree.

"What do you mean when the fifth peak is causing trouble?"

"The Hidden Baby Tree in the Spiritual Medicine Garden was planted by Elder Yan of the Fifth Peak. Elder Yan has the right to dispose of the broken baby fruit."

Qin Libang told Qi Shiyun what he learned, and Qi Shiyun also fell silent for a while.

If it were any other elder, she would come directly to discuss with them, but Elder Yan from the Fifth Peak...

Although decades have passed, the stone tablet erected in front of Elder Yan's palace is still there.

Obviously, Elder Yan is still angry.

"If we look for Broken Infant Fruit temporarily now, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find."

Qi Shiyun frowned. Taking the Broken Infant Pill was not only a way to advance from the early stage of Yuanying to the middle stage of Yuanying, but other methods would have an impact on the subsequent breakthrough into the later stage of Yuanying.

Only the Broken Infant Pill is recognized throughout the Dan Realm as a pill that will not affect subsequent cultivation.

"How about discussing this with Elder Yan?"

Another elder spoke, and Qin Libang shook his head: "Elder Yan has already told us that even if we use this broken baby fruit to feed dogs, we will not give it to the Sixth Peak."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Elder Yan completely hated visiting their sixth peak.

"Elder Yan has already told the outside world that for the sake of face, he will not give us the Broken Baby Fruit again unless we can ask the sect leader to come forward."

"It's difficult, the sect master will not interfere in the affairs between the peaks."

Qi Shiyun said thoughtfully: "This is not a matter between the peaks, but related to our entire Danshan Sect. Chu Ning will represent the Danshan Sect in the newcomer competition."

The next newcomer competition is very important to the entire sect.

"It's useless. Chu Ning's level is too low now, and the newcomers selected by other peaks are already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Among them, the newcomer disciple from the second peak is already able to refine fifth-grade elixirs."

Qin Libang looked at Qi Shiyun. He knew that Elder Qi had a normal relationship with the elders of other peaks, so he didn't know much about other peaks, unlike him who liked to make friends with the elders of other peaks.

But what happened with Elder Yan, and now that he goes to other peaks, the elders of other peaks are starting to be wary of him.

Three years ago, a new disciple of the Second Peak successfully refined a fifth-grade elixir, and was immediately identified by the sect as the number one seed disciple in the newcomer competition.

Now the sect's resources are beginning to be tilted toward this new disciple at the second peak.

"Unless Chu Ning can prove his talent in alchemy, once he breaks through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, there will be no problem in refining fifth-grade elixirs."

Hearing Qin Libang's words, Qi Shiyun's pretty face looked helpless. How could this be guaranteed?

Even when she was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it took decades to ensure that she could successfully refine the fifth-grade elixir.

"If there is really no other way, use other methods to get Chu Ning into the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

"no."

Qi Shiyun flatly refused. She had to be responsible for her disciples. If she used other methods, it would affect her disciples' future cultivation path.

Rather than doing this, she would rather not let Chu Ning participate in the rookie competition.

"Then tell the sect master that if my disciple withdraws from this newcomer competition, I will return the alchemy ingredients given to my disciple to the sect."

Qi Shiyun left the main hall after leaving her words, leaving the four elders of Qin Libang smiling bitterly in the main hall.

"Just report to the sect as Elder Qi said."

after one day!

The elders of each peak, including the sect leader, all knew that the Sixth Peak had a newcomer participating in the competition, but most of the elders did not take it seriously.

After the new disciple at the second peak came from behind and successfully refined two furnaces of fifth-grade elixirs, the sect promoted him as the number one seed.

The elixir garden.

When Chu Ning came to purchase goods for the third time, Fang Ping suddenly asked: "Junior Brother Chu, are you not going to participate in the newcomer competition?"

"?"

"I also heard from the elders of the Spiritual Medicine Garden that the Sixth Peak has changed the list of disciples participating in the newcomer competition."

Listening to Fang Ping's words, Chu Ning frowned. The master had clearly said that he would represent the sect in the newcomer competition.

Could it be that something happened somewhere?

Thinking of this, Chu Ning decided to go find his master to find out what happened.

The sixth peak.

Chu Ning came to his master's palace.

"master!"

"Chun Ning, you came just in time. I want to inform you of the news. I don't want to participate in this newcomer competition."

"ah?"

Chu Ning felt depressed after listening to his master's words. He was still hoping to participate in the competition and let the sect help him break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Qi Shiyun saw her disciple's shocked expression, pondered for a moment, and finally told him the reason.

"Master, what if the disciple can ensure that he breaks through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and can successfully refine the fifth-grade elixir?"

Chu Ning was unwilling to give up this opportunity, not because of the limelight, but because it would save him hundreds of years of practice. Only a fool would give up.

"Promise?" Qi Shiyun thought that Chu Ning was speaking out of anger, and advised: "Who can completely guarantee the alchemy matter? Don't say such angry words again."

"Master, if my disciple tells me that of the medicinal materials you gave me, my disciple has made a batch of each elixir, and every batch is of top quality. Does this count as a guarantee?"

Qi Shiyun was stunned for a moment, her eyes shining brightly: "Is this true?"

Chu Ning did not answer, but directly took out the pill bottles from the storage bag. Qi Shiyun glanced with her consciousness and found that the pills in these pill bottles were indeed of top quality.

"The refining was successful in one attempt?"

"Well, the excess medicinal materials are still in this storage bag. Master, you can check it."

"No."

Qi Shiyun waved her hands, she believed that Chu Ning would not lie about this matter.

Therefore, if my disciples are currently refining fourth-grade elixirs, they are guaranteed to be of top-grade quality. Once they break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, they can definitely refine the fifth-grade elixirs successfully even if they are not guaranteed to be top-grade.

"Disciple, please don't publicize your success in refining a high-quality elixir in one go."

Chu Ning saw the corners of his master's lips raised, as if he had seen the scene when his master took him to the Sixth Peak Hall.

So, who is my master planning to trick again?
