Chapter 163 Foundation Building Puppet Beast
Without any hesitation, Chu Ning quickly retreated as the yellow shadow pounced out.
At the same time, he quickly activated the defensive shield on his body.
However, the speed of the yellow shadow was also not slow.
Almost at the same time when Chu Ning activated the defense of the earth spirit bracelet and the jade belt, the yellow shadow had already hit the shield heavily.
Without any obstacles, the two defensive shields broke directly.
Chu Ning didn't even have time to activate the defensive talisman on his body again, and the yellow shadow had already hit him heavily.
Suddenly, a huge force came, and Chu Ning's body flew backwards.
Chu Ning flew nearly 70 or 80 feet away before he stabilized his body and stood up.
After standing still, Chu Ning's expression was full of doubts.
He was surprised at the speed and strong attack power of the yellow shadow.
He was also surprised that he was attacked like this, but except for his body flying out, he seemed to have not suffered any damage.
"With such attack power, even if I continue to practice to near perfection, I can't say that there is no reaction at all.
It's that armor..."
Chu Ning vaguely realized something at this moment.
At the same time, his eyes also looked forward. At this moment, the yellow shadow attacking him turned out to be a wolf-like puppet beast.
Seeing that the puppet beast had pounced on him again, Chu Ning quickly took out the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear.
With both hands casting a spell, a fire python wrapped around the gun body, and then flew out directly from the tip of the gun and hit the puppet beast.
The puppet beast's forward momentum paused and fell to the ground.
However, the body of the puppet beast was not damaged at all.
"The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear used the Fiery Flame Art and couldn't damage this puppet?
A puppet beast actually has the strength of a foundation-building cultivator on both offense and defense!"
Chu Ning's eyes changed slightly, and he was horrified.
What shocked Chu Ning even more was that the restriction on the seventh floor was fluctuating again, and three identical puppet beasts appeared in an instant.
"Xiaobai, run!"
Without any hesitation, Chu Ning quickly flew downwards.
If it was just one puppet beast, Chu Ning could still parry it, but if so many puppet beasts attacked, he would not even have the strength to fight back.
Without Chu Ning shouting, Ling Xiaobai had already rushed down when he saw several puppet beasts appear.
That speed was a few points faster than Chu Ning.
How could the little guy not know that he couldn't afford to offend the puppets that came out of the restriction that even he couldn't break through.
As one man and one beast flew down, the four puppet beasts also followed closely.
They were faster than Chu Ning.
Just as Chu Ning was about to withdraw from the fifth floor and was about to step into the fourth floor, a puppet beast had already rushed to the back and pounced heavily.
Chu Ning had already activated several intermediate-level defense talismans.
Then, as expected, these talismans also failed to withstand the blow.
At this moment, another puppet beast had already pounced on him.
Chu Ning had already released his spiritual sense. Feeling the puppet beast pounce on him, he gritted his teeth and jumped up a little.
The puppet beast that originally pounced on his head hit his back.
Then, Chu Ning felt a huge force coming again.
With the help of this huge force, Chu Ning immediately jumped out more than ten feet away, and in the blink of an eye, he had fallen into the fourth place.
And he distanced himself from the puppet beast behind.
What made Chu Ning happy was that under this huge force, his body was still intact.
"The defense of this armor is too strong, even the defense of the top magic weapon is only so strong."
Chu Ning was ecstatic and continued to run down.
After entering the third floor, Chu Ning was entangled by the puppet beast again, and Chu Ning did the same.
He used the talisman to block one attack first, and then used the defensive power of the armor to take the attack of the puppet beast and use the force to accelerate.
After doing this twice, Chu Ning rushed down the first floor and re-entered the passage of the hall.
At this time, Chu Ning was slightly stunned.
Within the range of his spiritual sense, the puppet beasts stopped directly after rushing to the first floor.
Chu Ning looked sideways and saw that the puppet beasts turned around and ran upward again.
They didn't care about Chu Ning and Ling Xiaobai at all.
Seeing this scene, Chu Ning couldn't help but stop curiously.
Then, he saw that the puppet beast ran up a few floors quickly and disappeared in the restriction in the blink of an eye.
"Did these puppet beasts set some kind of restriction that prevents them from entering this hall?
Or is there some kind of restriction in this hall that prevents puppets and magic tools from being used?"
Chu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of the previous time when his puppet bird could not be used even after entering the range of this hall.
After thinking about it, he raised the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear in his hand.
He injected his magic power into it again.
This top-level magic tool did not react at all.
"There is indeed some kind of restriction in this hall that prevents the use of magic tools."
Chu Ning thought secretly in his heart.
Then, he looked at the several layers of caves in the distance, his eyes flickering.
There is definitely no hope of going up there.
Ling Xiaobai couldn't even see through the restriction there, let alone break it.
"Xiaobai, is there anywhere else to leave?"
"Go down." Ling Xiaobai's voice rang out quickly.
Chu Ning was stunned, "Down? Didn't you just say that you were injured and couldn't open the restrictions down there?"
"After taking the Tianyuan grass, if you practice the Xuanming Jue again.
In about two or three days, my magical powers will be able to recover a lot, and I can take you out from outside."
Ling Xiaobai said with his spiritual consciousness at this time.
While saying this, Ling Xiaobai's eyes continued to look at the layers of caves behind.
The little guy's eyes were quite unconvinced at this moment.
It was obvious that he was still worried about the previous inaccurate judgment of the restrictions, and he couldn't directly break through the restrictions above.
When Chu Ning heard this, his face was full of joy.
"Two days? No problem, we will stay here for another two days, and we will go out after you recover."
Chu Ning said this, and at the same time he was quite surprised by the miraculous healing effect of the Tianyuan grass.
Ling Xiaobai's injuries were very serious before, and even if he practiced the Xuanming Jue with him, he didn't say that he could recover his magical powers.
Now, after planting a Tianyuan grass, with the help of the Xuanming Jue, the supernatural power can be restored.
"Since this Tianyuan grass is planted in the cave, in addition to being directly taken to heal injuries.
It is very likely that it can also be used to make pills. Maybe there will be relevant introductions in the Lingdan Collection."
Chu Ning thought to himself.
Then he asked Ling Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, do you still need to practice the Xuanming Jue now?"
"Ying!"
Ling Xiaobai nodded, and Chu Ning immediately sat down cross-legged and practiced the Xuanming Jue with Ling Xiaobai.
At this time, Chu Ning also found the difference from the previous practice.
Before, Ling Xiaobai was seriously injured and almost dying, so it was only Chu Ning who was practicing.
At this moment, with the help of the Xuanming Jue mana channel, Chu Ning could feel that Ling Xiaobai himself was constantly absorbing spiritual power to recover from injuries.
It was not like the passive reception before.
"In this way, it can indeed speed up."
Chu Ning thought to himself, the only restriction was actually Chu Ning's own mana.
The Xuanming Jue consumed too much mana, and Chu Ning had to stop to recover his mana after only half an hour.
In the next two days, Chu Ning and Ling Xiaobai healed their wounds while exploring outside.
The ruins of this ancient sect are very large. Although there are no spiritual fields, they are several times larger than the inner and outer gates of Qingxi Sect.
The two began to explore outside while healing.
Unfortunately, the area outside the hall was severely damaged.
Even though there were no restrictions in most places, Chu Ning could enter at will, but he did not find anything valuable.
According to the scope of this sect, there should have been many people at the beginning, and it seems that a big change has occurred, and there should have been a fight.
But from beginning to end, Chu Ning did not find any remains such as a corpse, which made Chu Ning feel very surprised.
"The caves above the seventh floor among those caves may have other secrets."
Two days later, Chu Ning finally stood at the outermost edge of the ruins, and returned to this place that was obviously full of spiritual energy but lifeless.
"Xiaobai, we are not strong enough now.
When we are stronger, we can come here to explore again, how about it?"
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Ling Xiaobai cried out "嘤".
It is obvious that the little guy should have had some ideas a long time ago.
Chu Ning turned to look at the formation and restrictions in front of him, his eyes flickering.
"Although two days have passed, the red-faced old man is very likely to stay near Luoxia Island to find us.
This ancient sect ruins is a small world in itself, and the overlap with the real world is very subtle.
If I leave this place now, I may be thousands of miles away, or I may be here."
Thinking of this, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
There are not many dangers in this ruins. Under normal circumstances, he can even stay here for a few months.
But he finally got the white grass, which can only be preserved for half a month.
In addition, the twin fruits of Yanmu are about to mature.
These are all related to his next step of building the foundation.
Once the time is missed, it is unknown how much time and energy it will take to gather these things.
Even if time and energy are spent, it may not be possible to gather them.
So although it is a little risky, Chu Ning still wants to take a chance.
"After all, the possibility of going out of this small world in different directions and still being in the same place is extremely small..."
After thinking about this, Chu Ning turned to Ling Xiaobai and said:
"Let's go, Xiaobai, take me out!"
"Ying!"
Along with this call, Ling Xiaobai, who was standing on Chu Ning's shoulder, emitted a white light from his head.
After this white light wrapped Chu Ning, the little guy went forward and drilled out of the restriction.
The scene in front of him changed instantly.
Chu Ning found that his whole body was cold and wet. When he looked closely, he found that he was actually in the water.
Reaching out and patting the storage bag, Chu Ning directly took out the green light bead.
Suddenly, all the lake water around him receded.
Chu Ning was not in a hurry to fly up. He carefully used his spiritual sense to explore outside.
"There is lake water for nearly a hundred feet around. I should be in a lake."
Feeling this scene, Chu Ning was relieved a little.
He immediately took off and floated in the air.
Looking up, there was lake water all around, and about dozens of miles away on the left, an island could be vaguely seen.
Chu Ning did not hesitate and flew straight to the island.
He naturally wanted to see where the island was before he could determine his current location.
After flying forward for about fifty miles, Chu Ning finally landed on the island.
Of course, his appearance and aura had naturally changed.
At this time, Chu Ning was an ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining. As for Ling Xiaobai, who might expose his identity, he was also put into the spirit beast bag.
After a brief inspection, Chu Ning did not feel any familiarity with this island.
"I have either never been to this island before, or I have stayed there for a short time and did not feel it deeply.
However, this rich spiritual energy looks a bit like an island with a second-level spiritual vein."
Muttering to himself, Chu Ning carefully flew towards the island.
If there are cultivators living on the islands among the thousands of lakes and islands, the teleportation array is generally located in the center of the island.
After about five or six miles, Chu Ning's eyes lit up and he saw a cultivator.
The cultivator was about the same age as he was now, but his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Chu Ning immediately shouted, "Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist in front."
Hearing Chu Ning's shout, the middle-aged cultivator stopped and looked at Chu Ning with a look of doubt.
Chu Ning smiled at him, then bowed and said,
"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, how do I get to the teleportation array on this island?"
Hearing that Chu Ning was asking about the teleportation array, the middle-aged cultivator's expression relaxed a lot.
He pointed to a direction slightly to the east of the center of the island and said,
"That's the method of the teleportation array. Don't go directly to the center of the island. That's the location of the caves of several island masters.
Ordinary cultivators cannot approach at will."
Chu Ning heard this, a serious expression on his face, and then reached out and took out a low-grade spirit stone directly from the storage bag.
"Daoyou, after hearing what you said, I really have to pay attention. I wonder if you can take me on a trip. This spiritual stone is a reward."
When the middle-aged cultivator heard that there was a spiritual stone as a reward for leading the way, his face immediately lit up and he agreed without hesitation.
The two flew towards the teleportation array using ordinary wind control techniques.
Chu Ning casually found some topics and easily got some useful information.
However, this also made Chu Ning's face look a little strange.
"What a coincidence, the island I came to is Fengya Island."
When he encountered Song Ye before, Chu Ning pretended to be a cultivator from Fengya Island.
And Chu Ning had indeed been to Fengya Island before.
As an island with a second-level spiritual vein, there are many cultivators on this island.
There is even a small place where casual cultivators gather to trade.
This is mainly because not every cultivator is willing to spend the cost of the teleportation array to go to Qianhuan Island for trading.
Especially those small businesses.
However, that place is just a small fight, and it has not yet developed into a market.
Chu Ning would go there to look for some alchemy materials before.
He has been to Fengya Island twice, and both times he went directly to the place where the scattered cultivators gathered to trade.
He has not been to other places on this island, so it is no wonder that he felt quite unfamiliar when he first came to the island.
After walking for dozens of miles, Chu Ning almost understood everything he wanted to know.
He found an excuse to say that he already knew the way to the teleportation array and separated from the middle-aged cultivator.
Before leaving, Chu Ning also spent two more spirit stones to buy a few spiritual medicines called fire maple grass from the cultivator.
This spiritual medicine is unique to this island, and the middle-aged cultivator mentioned that he was going to sell it at the place where the scattered cultivators gathered.
Chu Ning said that he came to this island just to find this spiritual medicine, and the price he gave was also the normal trading price of this spiritual medicine.
The middle-aged cultivator naturally sold it to Chu Ning happily.
After the middle-aged monk turned and left, Chu Ning's expression became more serious.
"After all, I had made up my identity as a monk on this island. The red-faced old man might come to this island to investigate.
I am a strange monk. I am not going to be found out if I appear on this island rashly.
Now I have both my identity and motive. Even if someone investigates me, it doesn't matter."
Thinking of this, Chu Ning quickly fled in the direction of the teleportation array.
Not long after, he came directly to the teleportation array.
Like other places, it also costs ten spirit stones to go to Qianhuan Island.
Chu Ning is now a middle-aged monk of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Naturally, it is impossible for him to go all at once.
So he waited in the teleportation array with the other three people.
After a while, two more monks appeared, and Chu Ning didn't care.
But then, his eyes suddenly condensed, and then returned to normal.
"Senior Song, we have never heard of a cultivator named He Jie on Fengya Island.
The other party is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was able to escape from the hands of the senior. If he was a cultivator from Fengya Island, I would have heard of it."
As the voice sounded, several figures appeared outside the teleportation array.
The leader, an old man with a red face and an amazing aura, was Song Ye whom Chu Ning had met on Luoxia Island before.
And next to him, there was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Chu Ning had seen the other person from afar during the Thousand Islands Competition. He was Zhou Xinquan, the island owner of Fengya Island.
This person is also at the foundation building stage, but in front of Song Ye, he calls himself a junior.
In addition to being younger, it is also related to the fact that the other party is in the middle stage of foundation building and is a member of the Song family.
Seeing the appearance of several people, Chu Ning was quite surprised.
He did not expect that Song Ye would come to Fengya Island so soon.
According to his idea, the other party should stay on Luoxia Island for a while.
Song Ye's face was gloomy at this moment. He was originally on Luoxia Island, but after two days of guarding, he did not find anything.
He finally couldn't sit still.
Thinking of the treasure that "He Jie" had that could backfire on the divine consciousness, Song Ye immediately came to Fengya Island to find out.
To his surprise, Fengya Island said that there was no such person at all.
"That guy actually hid his identity from the first time he saw me."
Thinking of this, Song Ye couldn't help but feel angry.
Walking into the place where the teleportation array was located, Song Ye ignored Zhou Xinquan who was still explaining.
His eyes swept over Chu Ning and the others, and he asked coldly:
"Are you all cultivators from Fengya Island? Have you ever seen a cultivator named He Jie?"
This was a name that Chu Ning made up, and everyone had never heard of it.
They all shook their heads.
Song Ye still frowned at this moment, and then asked someone next to Chu Ning:
"What's your name? Are you from Fengya Island?
You are from Fengya Island? What are you going to do now?"
Song Ye asked two or three people in succession, and then his eyes fell on Chu Ning.
"What's your name?"
