Chapter 390: Spiritual Fruit of the Wanfa Tree
"Chu Ning, are you okay?"
Cen Zijin came to Chu Ning's side and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Chu Ning shook his head.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the remaining six Jindan cultivators around him.
Jiang Cheng, He Feng, Yuan Xiaolu...
Each of them was looking at him at the moment, and their faces were all filled with shock, and vaguely, they seemed to be a little awed.
Chu Ning had just received the attacks of two mid-Yuanying cultivators and was safe and sound.
Even when several mid-Yuanying cultivators were in great pain for the extraterritorial demon, Chu Ning was able to seriously injure the monster.
Thinking of the other late Jindan cultivator before, under the attack of this extraterritorial demon, he had no power to resist and his Jindan was completely destroyed.
Everyone naturally realized.
Chu Ning's strength was obviously not on the same level as the others present.
The scene was quiet for a few breaths, and Jiang Cheng spoke first, bowed his hands and smiled bitterly:
"Thank you for showing mercy during the competition. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chu was so powerful.
Jiang was really a frog in the well before."
Jiang Cheng was indeed quite emotional at this moment.
If Chu Ning was able to take on the attack of Du Xianming of Daluo Sect in the competition before.
It surprised him greatly.
The strength Chu Ning showed in this valley today was enough to make him feel afraid.
Jiang Cheng didn't even dare to imagine if Chu Ning really used these magical means in the competition.
How many rounds could he, the so-called No. 1 Jindan cultivator of Yunxiao League, last.
This title was on his head before, but now it seems ridiculous.
"Fellow Daoist Chu deserves the title of No. 1 Jindan cultivator of Yunxiao League, and Yuan is convinced!"
Yuan Xiaolu also spoke at this moment, and bowed to Chu Ning.
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chu who seriously injured that monster, we don't know what would have happened to us."
As soon as Yuan Xiaolu said this, the other Jindan cultivators also spoke up.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Chu's magic weapon can actually seriously injure an extraterritorial demon comparable to the middle or even late Yuanying stage. It's really amazing!"
"Just now, the magic of the senior from Taihe Academy didn't seem to be able to injure that demon so seriously!"
"Fellow Daoist Chu's magical power is really amazing, thank you!"
Chu Ning heard everyone sighing and praising, and shook his head at this moment.
Seriously said: "It's fortunate that this demon was careless and didn't know that my magic weapon just happened to have the effect of restraining monsters.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Chu to succeed easily."
Chu Ning said this, but it was not entirely an overly modest statement.
This extraterritorial demon is different from the extraterritorial demon in the Golden Spirit Seed Spirit Realm.
That demon is still in the Jindan stage. If he faces it one-on-one, he will also have the strength to fight.
But today, the monster's cultivation level is much higher than his own.
If the monster didn't know that there was black gold on Chu Ning's magic weapon, and Chu Ning used the special defensive function of the immortal golden body shield, it would have the effect of defeating the enemy.
If the monster didn't think about attacking directly, but used other magical powers.
It would be impossible for Chu Ning to injure the opponent so badly.
After all, although his Five Elements Spirit Sword is powerful, with his current late Jindan cultivation.
If he wants to use it to seriously injure the Yuanying cultivator, he may not be able to do it.
In this way, there is indeed a bit of luck.
However, Chu Ning's words were still considered to be humble by everyone.
After all, they saw that Chu Ning not only used the Five Elements Spirit Sword to seriously injure the extraterritorial demon.
Even the first few Ice Shadow Sword Symbols were enough to have the strength of a Yuanying cultivator.
Chu Ning didn't explain too much at this moment.
He put the remaining three spirit swords back into his body, and his eyes fell on the two spirit swords below that nailed the two hands of the extraterritorial demon, but his expression hesitated a little.
In the end, he did not choose to take back the two spirit swords.
Instead, the two spirit swords still imprisoned the two hands of the demon.
At this time, Cen Zijin also recalled her magic flying sword.
But not only did it lose its spiritual charm, but even the sword body was full of pits.
Obviously, her life magic weapon was completely destroyed by the attack of the extraterritorial demon.
Seeing this, Cen Zijin couldn't help but show a trace of regret on his face.
Chu Ning immediately comforted him:
"Zijin, it doesn't matter if the magic weapon is destroyed. I will help you refine another one after returning to the sect."
As he said that, Chu Ning pointed to the tortoise shell in Cen Zijin's hand and said:
"Take this thing first, for self-defense."
Cen Zijin nodded slightly. Chu Ning had given her this tortoise shell many times, but today was the first time she really saw the power of this thing.
Before facing the magic attacks of two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, the tortoise shell was completely intact, which surprised Cen Zijin.
Thinking of this, Cen Zijin's face also flashed a trace of doubt and said:
"Just now, the two seniors in the alliance attacked us. Do you suspect that we are the accomplices of the extraterritorial demon?"
Chu Ning did not answer directly, but turned to look at Jiang Cheng and He Feng.
The two famous Jindan cultivators of Guiyuan Sect suddenly changed their faces at this moment.
Jiang Cheng immediately shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, we really don't know about this matter, and Uncle Lu didn't tell us either."
As he spoke, there was a hint of vigilance in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Another Jindan cultivator from Taiheyuan was even thinking about flying back.
After seeing Chu Ning's previous methods, they were really worried that Chu Ning would bear a grudge against the two Yuanying cultivators for their actions and suddenly attack.
Chu Ning took in the faces and actions of the few people, and at this moment, a faint smile flashed across his face and said:
"Fellow Daoists, don't be nervous. Chu will not attack you."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Jiang Cheng and the others looked a little unnatural.
As a late Jindan cultivator, he was so afraid of Chu Ning. If this were to be spread out, it would indeed surprise everyone.
But in fact, after this incident, I'm afraid that none of the other cultivators in the valley are not afraid of Chu Ning.
Chu Ning ignored them and turned to Cen Zijin:
"The Yuanying seniors in the alliance may have noticed the appearance of this extraterritorial demon, but they are not completely sure.
The means that Zhuang Zhong and I showed in the competition exceeded those of ordinary Jindan cultivators, so we have become objects of suspicion.
Just now, Senior Lu and his men attacked us, which should be a test."
Speaking of which, Chu Ning smiled at Cen Zijin and said:
"Speaking of which, you may have been implicated by me this time.
As for whether it is true or not, we can only know when the seniors come back."
Speaking of which, Chu Ning glanced at the valley entrance.
"The seniors don't know when they will come back, so let's practice and regulate our breathing here first."
Chu Ning had just tasted the sweetness of absorbing and refining energy here, and he was not willing to waste time at this time.
"Okay!" Cen Zijin responded lightly.
The other cultivators heard that Chu Ning was going to practice and regulate his breathing, so they didn't dare to disturb him and left one after another.
However, after what happened before, everyone's chosen positions have changed.
No one dared to practice near Chu Ning and Cen Zijin.
The area around Zhuang Zhong and the Jindan cultivator who died at the hands of the extraterritorial demon was also empty.
Then, the remaining six people sat in groups of two.
As for whether they had a better relationship before or when they formed an alliance, Chu Ning didn't know.
At this moment, he didn't have the mood to care.
Sitting cross-legged, Chu Ning didn't rush to practice at the first time.
In his mind, the words that the extraterritorial demon said before flashed.
"It seems that this extraterritorial demon came here not just for the spiritual fruit of the Wanfa Tree.
But for the energy that floats between heaven and earth here."
Chu Ning thought to himself.
"And from what the other party said, the absorption speed should be not slow, plus my absorption speed is fast.
This attracted the attention of several Yuanying cultivators, and then tried to test it."
Chu Ning thought of this, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
According to his guess, this energy should be the fusion of spiritual energy and origin power.
But why can it be fused here, and what kind of relationship is there between the origin power and spiritual energy, Chu Ning was confused.
The extraterritorial demon may be more familiar with this energy. It would be great if I could learn what's going on from the other party.
But Chu Ning thought about it again, and shook his head again, not to mention whether the extraterritorial demon knew it.
Even if he knew, the other party might not tell him.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't think so much.
Just absorb and refine it first.
Besides, now that the Yuanying cultivators are not here, no matter how much he absorbs and refines, he doesn't have to worry about being noticed by others.
Immediately, Chu Ning closed his eyes, and then operated the Five Elements Chaos Art, constantly absorbing the energy gas between heaven and earth.
Just like before, these energy gases entered Chu Ning's body.
Once again, they activated the two spirit seeds in his body and the water droplets of the origin force.
The three different forces quickly merged together, which not only strengthened Chu Ning's golden elixir, but also nourished and strengthened Chu Ning's body.
After the three forces converged, the huge suction force generated in Chu Ning's body also attracted the surrounding heaven and earth energy to accelerate towards Chu Ning.
If someone is sensitive to this kind of energy, they will find that the energy that is gathering towards Chu Ning at this moment.
It even exceeds the sum of the other seven people.
As time passed, Chu Ning absorbed more and more energy. In just a few days, the two spirit seeds and the water droplets of the origin force in Chu Ning's body were refined by more than one percent.
Chu Ning didn't know whether the refining speed of the water droplets of the origin force was slow or fast.
But the refining speed of the two spirit seeds was more than ten times that of before.
These days, Chu Ning would observe the ripening of the fruit of the Wanfa Tree from time to time during his practice.
He found that the white spot in the middle was getting smaller and smaller, and the whole fruit was getting closer and closer to being transparent.
He knew that the fruit of the Wanfa Tree was not far from ripening.
On this day, Chu Ning was practicing.
Jiang Cheng's voice suddenly rang out in the valley.
"The Wanfa Tree fruit is about to ripen!"
Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately ended his practice and looked up.
Sure enough, he saw that the white in the middle of the Wanfa Tree fruit had completely dissipated.
The whole fruit became crystal clear, swaying on the branch, and it seemed that it might fall at any time.
Not only did Chu Ning end his practice, but the other cultivators also stood up at this moment.
Looking at the Wanfa Tree fruit, there was a hint of curiosity and passion in their eyes.
Only Jiang Cheng, although there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, there was also a hint of worry.
"After the Ten Thousand Dharma Tree Spiritual Fruit matures, it must be picked and eaten on the same day, otherwise it will fall directly.
But Uncle Lu and others have not come back yet, what should they do? "
Hearing this, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, since this spiritual fruit is ripe, just pick it and eat it.
Is there anything else I can say? "
"There's no other way to say it." Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"But fellow Taoists, do you still remember that Uncle Lu reminded everyone not to enter within a hundred feet of this tree.
This is because within a hundred feet of the tree, there will be strong pressure. Once it enters, both spiritual consciousness, body and mana will be impacted.
And the closer you get to the tree, the more so.
If Master Lu and other Nascent Soul cultivators were there, they could naturally use their magical powers to forcibly pick the spiritual fruit.
It's just that we, the late-stage Jindan cultivators, may only be able to reach the bottom of the tree at most, as we are unable to withstand such pressure.
Not to mention flying up and picking the spiritual fruit. "
As soon as he said this, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up slightly and he looked at Chu Ning and said:
"But Brother Daoist Chu, your cultivation level is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul monk. Maybe you can give it a try."
After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Ning again.
"Let me try it first." Chu Ning looked up at the Wanfa Tree and responded.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Chu, this Ten Thousand Dharma Tree Spirit Fruit cannot be put into a storage bag, nor can it be put into a jade box."
Jiang Cheng reminded at this moment and said,
"When you want to pick the spiritual fruit later, just break off the branch at the top of the tree crown with a flying sword.
Then just pick them off one by one and distribute them to everyone. "
Chu Ning nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, then stood up and walked forward.
The rest of the people, including Cen Zijin, were a little curious at this time and couldn't help but follow forward.
The next moment, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Especially Cen Zijin, who is only in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, the feeling is particularly obvious at this time.
She only felt the coercion coming from the Wanfa Tree less than thirty feet inside.
Not only did his mana surge, his body felt the pressure of a thousand pounds, even the consciousness in the sea of consciousness began to fluctuate.
Cen Zijin immediately stopped moving forward.
At the same time, he whispered to Chu Ning and reminded:
"Chun Ning, the pressure here is far beyond imagination, please be careful."
"good!"
Chu Ning responded softly. At this moment, he had already moved forward to a distance of twenty feet, and he now had a better understanding of the pressure brought by this pressure.
The exciting effect of mana is actually secondary. What is really suppressed is the physical body and spiritual consciousness of cultivation.
Fortunately, in these two items, even compared with Yuanying monks, he can't make any concessions.
Immediately, he no longer walked forward on foot, but directly jumped into the air and flew directly towards the top of the tree.
Seeing this scene, the monks' eyes naturally followed Chu Ning's figure.
When he saw that Chu Ning seemed completely unaffected by the pressure here, flying forward although not very fast, was extremely smooth.
The eyes couldn't help but show horror.
"This fellow Daoist Chu has magical powers, which is truly remarkable.
If it weren't for his aura, he would really be just a golden elixir cultivator, and we would know that he just formed the elixir a few decades ago.
I'm afraid we all will think that he is the Yuanying monk. "
He Feng couldn't help but send a message to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng nodded and looked at Chu Ning without saying a word, but from the look in his eyes, He Feng had already seen the result.
He Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time.
Previously, Yu Changge of Jiuhua Sect was obviously not as strong as Jiang Cheng in fighting magic.
But unexpectedly, he entered the Nascent Soul stage earlier than Jiang Cheng.
This has already surprised many Guiyuan Sect monks.
Unexpectedly, Jiuhua Sect now has another existence that is even more heaven-defying.
This Chu Ning is not yet at the peak of the late Golden Core cultivation level, but he already has actual combat power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul monk.
It is really unimaginable that if this person reaches the peak of the late Jindan stage, or even becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator.
What kind of existence would it be?
After gathering his thoughts, He Feng turned his attention to Chu Ning in the sky again.
At this moment, Chu Ning had already flown within fifty feet of the spiritual fruit at the top of the tree crown.
He also felt more pressure than before.
"The pressure is very strong, but it cannot completely suppress either my physical body or my spiritual consciousness.
If you want, you can even fly faster.
However, while the pressure is strong, it seems that the energy here is also more intense.
If he could practice within this one hundred feet range, he might be able to go even faster. "
Chu Ning muttered secretly in her heart, but she didn't show too terrifying strength at this time.
He just continued to fly towards the spiritual fruit of the Wanfa Tree in front of him unhurriedly.
Fifty feet, forty feet, thirty feet...
When Chu Ning got closer to about ten feet away, his expression turned serious.
At this moment, he had to deal with the pressure coming from the Wanfa Tree.
Even the speed of flying is slower.
However, such coercion still did not completely restrain Chu Ning.
With all his strength to carry this pressure, Chu Ning came directly to the top of the Ten Thousand Dharma Tree.
He took a look at the branch in front of him that had a spiritual fruit growing alone.
Sure enough, I found that its color was much lighter than other branches, and the leaves looked much more tender than the others.
Thinking of Jiang Cheng's reminder just now, Chu Ning didn't hesitate much and released the Wood Spirit Sword to cut off the branch directly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu has picked the spiritual fruit!"
Seeing this scene, everyone looked happy.
Then, he stared closely at the figure of Chu Ning who flew back with the branch and ten spiritual fruits.
It wasn't until Chu Ning actually flew back to the crowd that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Ning held the spirit fruit in her hand and asked Jiang Cheng:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, can I just pick this spiritual fruit directly?"
"Yes, just take it off and take it." After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he sighed lightly.
"It's just a pity that Zhuang Zhong was actually possessed by an extraterrestrial demon, and fellow Taoist Xu also died unexpectedly.
Two more spirit fruits cannot be saved, but they will be wasted. "
Chu Ning frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Can I only take one of this spiritual fruit?"
