Chapter 312 Is the Taoist Fellow's Lingming Fruit Ripe?
"Is the Lingming fruit almost ripe?"
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Chu Ning's eyes lit up.
He immediately walked quickly towards a corner of the spiritual medicine garden.
He had not left the cave for ten years, mostly because of this Lingming fruit.
After all, this thing is said to increase the probability of condensing an infant.
Chu Ning had not seen this fruit for about half a year.
"Is this what the Lingming fruit looks like when it is almost ripe?"
At this time, Chu Ning looked at the spiritual fruit that was completely different from the two spiritual infants before, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Other spiritual fruits grow bigger and bigger, while this Lingming fruit grows smaller and smaller.
Chu Ning had discovered this before, and he had specially collected some relevant information about the Lingming fruit before his retreat.
It was not too surprising.
But seeing the shape of the mature spiritual fruit was another matter.
But the two spiritual fruits that originally looked like spiritual infants had now condensed and shrunk by nearly 80%, and had grown into a long strip similar to a gourd.
The original colorful spiritual fruit has now lost its color and has become transparent.
Only a little white in the middle has not become transparent yet.
"No wonder it is called Lingming Fruit!"
Chu Ning looked at the spiritual fruit and couldn't help but marvel at it.
When he saw this fruit before, he was thinking that it would be more appropriate to call it Lingying Fruit.
Now he saw it and realized that the name was not wrong.
"Looking at the appearance of this Lingming Fruit, it should be fully ripe in five days, right?"
Chu Ning asked Bai Ling.
Bai Ling nodded, "That should be it. Master, you can feel it more clearly when you use the Xuanqing Qinghua technique."
"It will be ripe in five days."
Chu Ning nodded and said:
"Okay, when the Lingming fruit is ripe, I will come out of seclusion. After ten years of seclusion, I should go out for a walk."
Bai Ling heard it and immediately smiled and said: "That's good. Da Jin and Xiao Jin have been stuck here for a long time."
Chu Ning laughed and scolded when he heard this:
"You couldn't be trapped before the Dan was formed. Why can't you be trapped after the Dan is formed?"
Bai Ling blinked her eyes, but didn't say anything, just a smile on her face.
[Five Elements Chaos Art (Heavenly Grade, Middle Grade), Second Level (41948/100000)]
[Nine Evolutions Body Refining Art, Second Volume, Second Level (33085/90000)]
[Spirit Refining Art, Fourth Level (63652/64000)]
For ten years, Chu Ning spent most of his energy on the Five Elements Chaos Art.
This is mainly because Chu Ning has certain limitations in both body and spirit refining.
In terms of body refining, Chu Ning had already stopped bringing out spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines with the power of origin from the Wuling Island, leaving only the last small part for backup.
Without help, although Chu Ning was practicing every day, on average, he only improved by about 2 points.
As for spirit refining, considering that the fourth level of spirit refining is the top.
And Chu Ning did not have any subsequent skills, he was not in a hurry to improve quickly.
Only the Five Elements Chaos Art, practicing to the third level may be the time to enter the late stage of the Golden Core.
So during these ten years, Chu Ning not only kept refining pills to assist his cultivation.
And the Snow Crystal Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid has never been interrupted, and he basically takes one or two drops every month.
However, even so, the average daily cultivation proficiency is only about 10 points.
After ten years, this proficiency has not yet reached half.
It is unlikely to break through in a short period of time, so it is okay to go out for a walk.
It just so happens that he also wants to see what the surrounding area has become after ten years.
Five days passed in a flash.
Chu Ning and Bai Ling have been guarding the Lingming Fruit Tree for a full day.
The characteristics of this Lingming Fruit are rather strange.
The spiritual fruit must fall off by itself after ripening, otherwise even if it is picked, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced.
And after picking, it must be stored in a wooden box made of this spiritual tree immediately, otherwise the spiritual power in it will be lost quickly.
And this spiritual tree will wither and turn into mud in about three days after the spiritual fruit falls.
So the time to pick the spiritual fruit must be very appropriate.
After waiting for ten years to cultivate, Chu Ning was naturally willing to spend a day waiting for maturity.
At this moment, the two Lingming fruits fell almost at the same time.
Chu Ning was quick-witted and reached out to catch the two fruits almost immediately.
He handed the Lingming fruit to Bai Ling first.
Chu Ning pulled up the spiritual fruits by the roots, then opened his mouth and sprayed out the wooden sword.
He began to cut and make wooden boxes.
The Lingming fruit tree is actually extremely hard, and it is not easy to cut with ordinary magic weapons.
Fortunately, Chu Ning's flying swords are all fused with black Xuanjin, and the sharpness is enough, so it can be so easy.
After a while, two wooden boxes of suitable sizes were made.
Chu Ning packed the two spiritual fruits, which were now completely transparent, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and put them into the storage bag.
"Lingming fruit!" Chu Ning laughed at this time.
"Back then, the demons made up a lie about the Lingming Fruit to lure all the cultivators into the Snow Mist Valley.
In the end, many cultivators died, and even the two elders of the Huanling Sect escaped with only their Nascent Souls.
But I didn't expect that I would benefit from it in the end."
Bai Ling had long heard Chu Ning talk about what happened back then.
He chuckled and said, "I was asleep at that time, otherwise the spiritual fruit would definitely not escape my sense."
Chu Ning nodded. He still believed in the little guy's ability.
He smiled at Bai Ling and said, "Two spiritual fruits, one for each of us."
Bai Ling, who always liked to eat spiritual fruits, smiled and shook her head.
"The main function of this Lingming Fruit is to help you human cultivators condense your Nascent Soul.
Although I can transform into a human form, I am still a spirit beast, and this thing doesn't have much effect on me.
You can eat it, but it's a bit wasteful."
When Chu Ning heard this, he immediately said:
"Oh, forget it, don't waste it."
Bai Ling: "..."
"Don't look at me like that, this thing is precious. It's not particularly helpful to you, and it's not bad to have this one delicious.
Now I'll take you out for a walk, but you should restore your original form and hide it, so as not to be too conspicuous.
Oh, by the way, when you are outside, if you want to transform into a human form, don't call me master, just call me young master."
"Okay, young master!"
Bai Ling smiled lightly and turned her body, and she had restored her snow-white original form.
But she didn't enter the spirit beast bag, but went directly into Chu Ning's sleeve.
Then, Chu Ning asked the snow crystal to shrink, put it into the jade box and put it into the storage bag.
He then walked out of the cave.
As for other spiritual medicines, Chu Ning didn't need to be particularly wary of anyone.
After leaving the cave, he felt that this Iceland Fairy City was the same as before.
There were many caves in the upper city, although many Jindan cultivators died in the Snow Mist Valley ten years ago.
But looking at the current situation, many caves are fully restricted and inhabited.
I think that in the past ten years, many Jindan cultivators have come to the city one after another.
"This may also be related to the situation in the sea."
Chu Ning thought to himself at this moment. After all, there were still some Jindan cultivators in various seas before.
But since human cultivators and the sea monsters had a dispute, they could not be completely unaffected.
And in the past ten years, there were also cultivators who formed pills in this Iceland Fairy City.
Chu Ning felt that there were two strange phenomena in the world.
And in the lower city of Iceland Fairy City, it was as lively as ever.
The proportion of the batch of foundation-building cultivators who entered the Snow Mist Valley was not particularly large.
Moreover, there are more foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators in each island, and many of these cultivators are still crowding into the Iceland Immortal City.
Chu Ning did not look for Xi Wenxia, but went out of the city directly.
"Bai Ling, let's go to the Boundless Sea first."
"Okay!"
Bai Ling's voice came without hesitation.
"I've been to the mountains a lot."
After communicating with Bai Ling, Chu Ning immediately took off and flew towards the inner sea.
In the past ten years, with the hostility between the human and demon races, the danger level in the middle sea area is not much worse than that in the outer sea.
Even if the Jindan cultivators go out, they have to travel cautiously in groups.
Relatively speaking, the inner sea area will naturally be better.
In fact, there have been occasional disturbances in the inner sea in recent years.
But with the Jindan cultivators sitting in each island, those monsters have also been relatively restrained.
With Chu Ning's strength, he doesn't need to worry too much in the inner sea area.
After flying for a while, Chu Ning patted the storage bag on his waist.
Released the two golden thunder eagles.
"Cry!"
The two golden thunder eagles had not experienced the feeling of flying freely for more than ten years, so as soon as they were released, they made a cheerful cry.
Flew forward quickly.
At this time, Bai Ling also flew out from Chu Ning's sleeves.
The two wings as thin as cicada wings flapped and turned into a white light, and in the blink of an eye, they had already caught up with the two golden thunder eagles.
"Hey, you are quite fast!"
Chu Ning exclaimed in surprise.
The man also turned into a blue shadow and chased after the three spirit beasts.
Flying forward for thousands of miles, Bai Ling seemed to feel that she had experienced enough.
The body directly transformed into a young girl in the air, and then sat on the back of a golden thunder eagle like Chu Ning.
The two golden thunder eagles had already seen Bai Ling's human form in the cave, so they were not surprised at this moment.
"Hey, young master, it seems that it feels different to fly like this." Bai Ling looked curious.
Spirit beasts and demon beasts may also fly and flee.
However, immortals travel through the sky and overlook everything. Such a feeling may not be experienced by spirit beasts.
Otherwise, so many demon beasts may have stronger original strength. Why do they like to transform into human form when they can transform into human form?
The two eagles flew aimlessly in the air.
After flying forward for more than a thousand miles, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at a small island not far ahead.
He directly commanded the two golden spirit eagles to fly to the island.
This is an island with not much spiritual energy, so no cultivators live there.
Even the demon beasts are only low-level ones, and they feel the breath of the two golden thunder eagles and Chu Ning.
The low-level demon beasts on the island either ran around or began to hide.
Chu Ning did not go hunting, but found a place to land at random and meditated directly.
The golden thunder eagle was directly put into the spirit beast bag.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Bai Ling asked in confusion while hiding in Chu Ning's sleeve.
Chu Ning said calmly: "It's okay, wait for someone."
As he spoke, Chu Ning looked towards the sky in the direction he came from before.
After about a quarter of an hour, a beam of light approached the island silently.
But he was not in a hurry to land on the island.
His body was hidden in the air, and there was a cloud and mist surging around him.
If Chu Ning had not noticed it long ago, and his spiritual sense was far superior to that of ordinary people, he would not have been able to find the other party in the first time.
The person in the air seemed to be searching for something at this moment, and his spiritual sense swept across the island below.
If Chu Ning used the forbidden magic, he would not be discovered by him.
However, at this moment, Chu Ning deliberately did not use it, but took the initiative to say:
"Since Daoyou have been following all the way, why don't you come down and see it directly?"
"Daoyou Chu has good eyesight and magical powers."
Accompanied by an old voice, a figure appeared from the cloud and mist.
But Chu Ning did not dare to underestimate the other party at all.
This person was the famous black evil old demon Situ Yan.
Although Chu Ning had some guesses just now, his eyes still flickered slightly when he really saw the other person's face clearly.
His face was calm as he asked:
"Situ Daoyou, you are not just passing by, right?"
"No, I came here specially with Chu Daoyou." Situ Yan actually showed a smile on his face at this moment.
He looked very kind.
"Chu Daoyou can really stay here. He has not left the cave for ten years."
"Daoyou is really patient. He has waited for ten years." Chu Ning replied lightly.
At this moment, he was very sure that Situ Yan came to Bingdao Fairy City because of him.
But Chu Ning still couldn't understand why the other party was interested in him.
"Ten years, haha." The Black Demon still had a smile on his face.
But his turbid eyes had a glimmer of light at this moment.
"For the Lingming Fruit, let alone ten years, I can wait even a hundred years."
Hearing Situ Yan's words, Chu Ning was suddenly shocked.
What does this old demon mean?
He actually knew about the Lingming Fruit in his hand?
Although Chu Ning was shocked, his face remained calm.
He was waiting for the other party to say something.
Sure enough, seeing Chu Ning did not respond.
Situ Yan stared at him at this moment, with a hint of expectation in his eyes:
"Daoyou did not leave the cave for the past ten years. I think you were cultivating the Lingming Fruit, right?
And this sudden exit should be because the Lingming Fruit is ripe?"
Chu Ning looked at the other party's old face, and kept thinking in his heart how the other party knew about this.
You know that I got the Lingming Fruit, but I never let anyone know.
However, Chu Ning still would not admit it so easily at this moment.
So he said: "Daoyou Situ said, why don't I understand?"
