Chapter 177 Ancient Sect Token

"This pattern..."

Chu Ning found a brand with a simple shape and unknown material from among the many things in Song Cheng's storage bag.

But the patterns in it were extremely familiar to Chu Ning.

One side of this card depicts a phoenix-like bird-shaped monster.

On the other side, there is a pattern of a monster similar to the body of a cow.

Astonishingly, they were the two patterns Chu Ning had seen on the armrests of the two main seats in the ancient sect ruins hall.

Chu Ning had previously obtained the double fire rings and the thunder bead from the two armrests, and naturally had a deep memory of these two patterns.

"This card must be related to that ancient sect, and these two patterns should be the symbols of that sect."

Chu Ning was thinking about it in her heart, but she was secretly sighing in her heart.

"Being a casual cultivator in this thousand lakes and islands certainly has the advantage of freedom, but on the other hand it also has inconveniences.

The channels for obtaining information are too narrow. Unlike in Qingxi Sect, if you want any information, you can go to the sect to check the information.

And even if you are out to inquire about the activities of thousands of lakes and islands, it is not convenient for you to practice in this cave all year round. "

Thinking like this, Chu Ning's face showed deep thought.

He had thought about this before.

For example, when something happened to the Cen family before, he didn't catch it in time.

Otherwise, I might still be able to meet Cen Zijin.

“Perhaps we can find two more helpers.

After entering the foundation building, even with so many elixirs and elixirs, my cultivation speed increased more slowly than before.

You must spend most of your time practicing every day.

In this way, he could still take care of rare elixirs such as the Flame Wood Twin Fruit and the Iron Soul Flower.

I really don’t have so much energy to take care of some other ordinary spiritual plants and elixirs. "

However, it is not that Chu Ning cannot use these spiritual plants and elixirs.

After all, the Qingmu Yuanyang Pill in his hand is only enough for about half a year, if he needs to refine it later.

Things like Yuanyang Fruit and many auxiliary elixirs are still needed.

"Speaking of which, many of these dozens of acres of spiritual fields have been abandoned for more than half a year. It would be good to find one or two people to help you take care of them."

Thinking like this, Chu Ning looked at other things on a few people.

Chu Ning naturally put away some elixirs and the like, not to mention those spiritual stones.

As for magical weapons, there were a few that caught Chu Ning’s attention.

Among them, there is also a flying boat.

"Each person has one of these magic weapons in their storage bag. Judging from the refining method, they are extremely old.

It seems that they should have obtained it from the outer hall. "

In this way, Chu Ning will naturally use it without any pressure.

As for the other few good magic weapons, Chu Ning hasn't paid much attention yet.

After all, Chu Ning now has magic weapons for both attack and defense.

Chu Ning fell in love with this flying boat at a glance.

After all, the wind-chasing shuttle he purchased before was only a high-level magic weapon and was no longer enough for him to use.

And this flying boat is not only a top-level magic weapon, but also looking at its size, it can carry up to six or seven people.

Chu Ning gave it a try, and found that its speed was more than twice as fast as the previous wind-chasing shuttle.

He was naturally satisfied with using this object as his future flying weapon.

After processing all these things a little, Chu Ning made some adjustments to the layout of the cave the next day.

On the third day, Chu Ning came directly to Jiang Hongguang's cave.

"Senior Chu, why are you here in person? If you have anything, you can just send a message."

As soon as Jiang Hongguang heard Chu Ning's arrival, he immediately went out and welcomed Chu Ning into the hall.

"Foundation-building monk!"

As soon as Chu Ning entered the hall, there was a commotion inside, but there were more than twenty people standing inside.

Most of these people are in the middle stage of Qi refining, and only one or two people are in the late stage of Qi refining, and they are only at the seventh level of Qi refining.

Chu Ning followed into the hall with a smile, and glanced at everyone in the hall with some surprise.

"Oh? Daoyou Jiang has a guest?"

Jiang Hongguang smiled and said to Chu Ning:

"Senior Chu, this hidden spiritual vein is still good for our Feihong Island's spiritual energy concentration.

In the past two years, some spiritual fields have been opened on the island. Before, the outside world didn't know about this, so I couldn't tell the outside world.

But now everyone in the Thousand Island Alliance knows it, and there are foundation-building monks like Senior.

I just thought that by renting out some of these spiritual fields, I could get more spiritual stones. "

After hearing Jiang Hongguang's words, Chu Ning naturally understood that these people were those who were planning to come to the island to rent spiritual fields.

He immediately smiled and said directly:

"That's good. I just need two people to help me take care of the spiritual field."

Chu Ning's words were not transmitted, so everyone in the hall heard them. For a moment, a hint of excitement flashed on the faces of many Qi Refining monks in the hall.

Being able to take care of the spiritual fields for a foundation-building monk is far better for them than renting some spiritual fields to grow on their own.

Just when everyone was excited and ready to welcome Chu Ning's selection.

At this time, Chu Ning suddenly looked at an old and young man and woman in the crowd.

"Would you two like to come to my cave?"

The thin old man who was questioned by Chu Ning was slightly startled at first, but the next moment, his face suddenly turned overjoyed.

"Junior is willing."

After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded immediately and said:

"Okay, come with me."

Immediately, the thin old man led the girl out of the hall with joy.

When Jiang Hongguang saw Chu Ning was about to leave, he immediately sent Chu Ning out.

Only the people in the hall were left feeling disappointed and envious.

"That old man Cheng is really lucky to be favored by a foundation-building cultivator."

"Maybe, that senior has taken a fancy to his granddaughter."

...

When these words came out, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to respond.

The middle-aged cultivator who had just spoken also realized that he should not have said anything nonsense, and his face turned pale.

Fortunately, at this time, Chu Ning had led a few people out of the yard, and it seemed that he did not hear what he said.

Chu Ning really did not pay attention to the gossips of the low-level cultivators behind him.

If he really wanted to listen, with his spiritual sense, he could hear it clearly even in Jiang Hongguang's entire cave.

As for why he chose these two people, it was also very simple.

These two people were the grandfather and grandson he met a few days ago when he pretended to be chased by the toad monster on the lake.

After leaving Jiang Hongguang's cave, Chu Ning also asked the names of the two people.

The thin old man was called Cheng Zuyuan, and Chu Ning just called him Old Man Cheng, and the little girl was called Cheng Xinxin.

At this moment, the two naturally didn't know that the foundation-building cultivator in front of them was the one they met two days ago.

Chu Ning naturally had no intention of telling the two, but he also asked casually:

"Old Man Cheng, where did you make a living before? Why did you suddenly think of coming to Feihong Island?"

Cheng Zuyuan immediately answered politely when he heard Chu Ning's question:

"Reporting to the senior, I used to make a living by catching spirit fish with my granddaughter near Qingshi Island and Shuiyun Island.

A few days ago, I accidentally got the corpse of a first-level high-level monster that was killed by someone, and sold it for some spirit stones.

I thought about finding a spiritual field here to plant, which would be more stable."

Chu Ning just nodded slightly and didn't ask too much.

He chose this old man Cheng, not only because he saw that the two of them had some affinity, but also because of what he said to Cheng Xinxin later.

Although helping to plant and manage the spiritual field would not expose him to too many secrets.

But Chu Ning naturally still hoped to find someone who was cautious, calm and tight-lipped.

Cheng Xinxin was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and her wind speed was too slow.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning directly released a flying boat from the storage bag.

He said to the two of them:

"You two come up, I will take you to the cave."

This flying boat was what he had sorted out in the past two days.

Cheng Zuyuan was fine, after all, he was older, and even if he hadn't used it, he should have seen some things.

Cheng Xinxin stepped on the flying boat and immediately looked around with a look of surprise.

Chu Ning casually cast a magic shield outside the two of them, and the next moment, he soared into the air in the girl's shining eyes, and flew towards Yanfeng in a flash.

In just a short while, Chu Ning led the two of them to the outside of the cave.

"There is a formation here, follow me and be careful not to go astray."

Chu Ning turned his head and told Cheng Zuwu and Cheng Xinxin, who immediately followed carefully.

After bringing the two to an open space outside the spiritual field, Chu Ning said to Cheng Zuyuan:

"You can build a house here and live here in the future..."

As he said that, Chu Ning handed a token for entering and exiting the periphery of the formation to Cheng Zuyuan.

Even if it was a simple settlement, the other party was settled down.

As for how to arrange the living place, it was naturally up to the other party to do it himself.

In the following days, Chu Ning told Cheng Zuyuan what to do every day.

And told him to find out the bigger news about the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands from time to time.

The grandfather and grandson were officially settled down.

And Chu Ning was practicing in the cave.

Time passed quickly, and two months passed in a flash.

During these two months, Chu Ning did have some gains.

Chu Ning had waited so long for the three kinds of spiritual fruits that were accidentally formed, and he obviously had no expectations.

But after trying it, he unexpectedly found that its effect on body refining was even better than that of the Iron Yang Fruit.

This fruit was named Iron Yuan Fruit by Chu Ning, and became an auxiliary item for Chu Ning's body refining practice.

Chu Ning also used this to think.

During these two months, he marked out several small areas in the spiritual medicine garden and began to try various hybrid spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines.

In addition to the iron stem orchid, Yuan Yang Fruit, and Jin Yuan Fruit, which he had used too much, he also tried some spiritual fruits brought out from the spiritual domain, such as the Flame Wood Twin Fruit.

He even took out the Iron Soul Flower and tried it.

Anyway, he cultivated a few plants of each hybrid fruit, and Chu Ning also wanted to see if there would be any surprises later.

That day, Chu Ning was practicing in the cave, and suddenly the voice of Old Man Cheng came from outside.

"Young Master, I have something important to report."

After all, Chu Ning was only in his twenties, and it was a little awkward for Old Man Cheng, who was nearly fifty years old, to call him "senior" every day.

So he asked the other party to change his words to "young master".

At this moment, hearing Old Man Cheng's call, Chu Ning walked out of the cave and came to the outer spiritual field area.

Without looking at Old Man Cheng at the first time, Chu Ning's eyes fell on Cheng Xinxin beside him.

"Little girl has reached the third level of Qi Refining? Not bad."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cheng Xinxin, who had two pigtails, immediately bowed and saluted:

"Thank you for the elixir, young master. Xinxin just broke through a few days ago."

At this time, Cheng Xinxin's eyes were blinking on her face, and she was excited.

A month ago, Chu Ning saw that Cheng Xinxin had good talent and was close to the peak state of the second level of Qi Refining, so he gave her a few low-level pills.

I didn't expect that the other party would break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Chu Ning nodded, as if he accepted the other party's courtesy, and then turned his eyes away from Old Man Cheng.

"Old Cheng, you just want to tell me about this."

"No, it's about the Song family in Qianhu Qiandao." Old Man Cheng shook his head immediately.

"The Song family's affairs?"

When Chu Ning heard it, he asked Old Man Cheng to continue, and he finally knew the general situation.

Speaking of this, it was related to Chu Ning.

After several foundation-building cultivators of the Song family died at the hands of Chu Ning, when Song Li came forward to stabilize the situation, there was no major commotion at first.

But as time went by, Song Cheng and his men still hadn't shown up, and even humans knew that something must have happened.

The Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands were originally relatively balanced, and the Cen family had previously joined the alliance of the Chen and Shi families, which had already slightly broken the balance.

And now that the Song family's strength has suddenly decreased, this balance can no longer be maintained.

"A group of robbery cultivators attacked the Song family, except for Song Li, who escaped in the late stage of foundation building.

The rest of the Song family was exterminated, and the other five families of the Thousand Island Alliance were furious, and issued a search order in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands, vowing to track down the murderer."

As Cheng Zuyuan said this, Chu Ning's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

He asked meaningfully:

"The Song family has always been on good terms with the Liu family and the Huo family. When the Song family was attacked, they did not show up to help resist."

Cheng Zuyuan said with a strange expression:

"It is said that on that day, the Thousand Island Alliance discussed the matter of the Thousand Island Competition.

Song Li, the ancestor of the Song family, left in anger for some unknown reason and took the Song family away from the Thousand Island Hall.

He went directly back to their own island of the Song family, and this incident happened at night. The families were also out of reach."

"What an out of reach." Chu Ning chuckled.

"Although several foundation-building cultivators of the Song family are missing, there are still late-stage foundation-building cultivators like Song Li.

There should also be several familiar foundation-building island masters. This group of robbery cultivators can force the Song family into this state, either there are late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

Or there are many foundation-building cultivators working together. Which family in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands can have such strength."

Chu Ning did not directly point out the surnames of the five families, but Cheng Zuyuan could hear it.

In fact, anyone with a little bit of brains in the thousands of lakes and islands could guess it.

It's just a matter of whether someone is willing to say it.

Chu Ning naturally didn't want to pay attention to these dog-biting and dog-mouthed things.

He said to Cheng Zuyuan: "Okay, I know about this matter, and it has nothing to do with me."

Cheng Zuyuan immediately responded:

"Master, I'm afraid it has something to do with you."

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Ning frowned slightly.
