Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Ding Fire Spirit Body, Spirit Root Upgrade!

After Shen Luoyan left, Ning Daoran comfortably sat at the bow, continuing to enjoy the sea breeze.

The jade scroll in his hand emitted a faint light, and after injecting mana, a flurry of characters surged into his mind, among which were rough details about the Slaying Immortal Tower in various places.

Moreover, two prominently suspended lists were particularly noticeable in the information from the jade scroll.

The first was the Killer List, with Tower Master Shen Luoyan at the very top, followed closely by over a dozen Gold Medal Killers, and then the Silver Killers.

The second was the Bounty List, where Independent Practitioner Jianjia’s name astonishingly ranked tenth, with a bounty of 100,000 Spirit Stones!

As for those ranking in the top nine, Ning Daoran had basically not heard of them, but without exception, all were Nascent Soul Old Monsters, else they wouldn’t qualify to be at the forefront of this list.

Furthermore, Ning Daoran spotted a familiar name.

Shadow Wolf King!

This cunning Wolf King was actually ranked 24th on the bounty list with a whopping bounty of 50,000 Spirit Stones! Moreover, according to information provided by the Slaying Immortal Tower, the Shadow Wolf King had advanced to the Third-tier Late-stage decades ago and had become a genuine Demon King.

Ning Daoran frowned, remembering the time during the Foundation Establishment Stage when he was powerless in front of the Shadow Wolf King. He couldn’t help but sigh a bit; now that the Shadow Wolf King had advanced to the Gold Core Late Stage, its strength was even greater than before—if they met, he couldn’t let it go easily!

On his little notebook, the Shadow Wolf King’s ranking was quite high, in the “Must Kill” column.

However, the fact that the Slaying Immortal Tower had placed Independent Practitioner Jianjia far ahead of the Shadow Wolf King seemed completely off; could this be what was known as raising the stakes?

On the bow, Independent Practitioner Jianjia fell into deep thought.

…

Several days later, he returned to Immortal White Dragon City.

Ning Daoran entered the city with Big Stupid Deer without any trouble, just as Shen Luoyan had said—Ancestor Xu was a member of the Slaying Immortal Tower and considering Shen Luoyan’s face, probably wouldn’t harbor killing intent towards him again.

However, human hearts are unpredictable, and it was still wise to be cautious while mingling in Immortal White Dragon City.

“Ning Daoran!”

In front of the Cave Mansion, a stunning figure with arms crossed stood—it was Lin Man.

She glared at the arriving duo, saying, “To think you were gone for three years without even a message! You’re really bold, Fellow Daoist Ning, I almost thought you had perished out there!”

“Cough cough…”

Seeing Lin Man apparently angry, Ning Daoran didn’t know whether to feel happy or helpless, and said, “I was cultivating on an island deep in the Tianluo Sea, and I accidentally lost track of time, so my return was delayed.”

“Hmph…”

Lin Man’s mouth twitched slightly, saying, “Since you have returned safely, I can now rest assured and go into closed-door cultivation.”

“Alright, I wish Talisman Master Lin a successful cultivation session!”

After Lin Man began her retreat, Ning Daoran also decided to enter closed-door cultivation.

Having caused such a stir at Tianluo Sea, it was now inappropriate to move about too much upon returning to Immortal White Dragon City.

Moreover, after cultivating the Eternal Green Technique, Ning Daoran felt as if his body was undergoing “remodeling,” a kind of subtle transformation happening all the time; thus, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and control the direction of his future cultivation himself.

Inside the Cave Mansion, the Grotto Heaven of the Spirit Garden.

Big Stupid Deer, Little Blackie, and others were each cultivating.

In the underground chamber beneath the cabin, Ning Daoran sat in meditation, continuously activating the Evergreen Technique and the True Yang Furnace Technique to refine his body. At some point during the return journey, he suddenly realized that after over a hundred years of constantly honing his body with the True Yang Furnace Technique, he was finally about to see results!

“Gulp!”

A top-quality True Blood Pill was swallowed, immediately exploding into scorching Essence Qi in his stomach, surging through his limbs!

Ning Daoran shuddered, hurriedly maneuvering the True Yang Furnace Technique to dissolve and absorb the medicinal energy, while simultaneously using the Eternal Green Technique to protect his body, as wisps of indigo-colored Wood attribute spiritual power swirled around him.

Not long after, as the True Yang Furnace Technique operated within him to the extent of Returning to Nature, it fiercely burned, continually tempering his already extremely strong body.

At this moment, a sensation of reaching a bottleneck was very strong, just one step away!

With each circulation of the True Yang Furnace Technique, the Fire attribute spiritual power inside Ning Daoran grew increasingly pure. Even when he introspected his Divine Sense, he could see veins of spiritual power flowing like molten lava, extremely rich.

And his body underwent gradual changes under the purification of this pure Fire attribute spiritual power. Pore by pore heated up, and the circulation of Fire attribute spiritual power inside him became progressively unblocked.

This sensation was like clearing channels within his body similar to the “Governing and Conception Vessels,” breaking some kind of natural shackles that all mortals are born with, which were also what was preventing his further enhancement.

Thus, with the help of one top-quality True Blood Pill, Ning Daoran’s meditation lasted for nearly half a year.

“Whew—”

Half a year later at a certain moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

At that moment, pure True Yang spiritual power erupted, accompanied by nearly inaudible “crack” sounds, the shackles within Ning Daoran were finally broken!

“Szzz~~~”

Turbulent Eternal Green technique spiritual power quickly transformed into voluminous Fire attribute spiritual power sweeping through his body. For a moment, Ning Daoran felt as if he had plunged into the depths of a volcanic abyss, his entire body enveloped by scorching magma, with every pore fully absorbing the terrifying heat.

“Creak, creak, creak…”

Amid slight sounds, his body was undergoing some kind of change.

On his chest, a kind of fiery red pattern, resembling an ancient symbol, gradually appeared on his mountain-like thick pectoral muscles, and the changes were not merely superficial—under the skin, every muscle seemed coated in a golden-red flame, even the bones exhibited some arcane and difficult-to-understand patterns.

“Boom—”

Inside his body, a loud sound echoed as the shackles naturally placed on mortals were finally shattered!

At that moment, Ning Daoran felt a refreshing clarity and majestically rose to his feet.

Countless fierce flames swirled around his body, burning his clothing clean off, leaving a fiery ribbon-like blaze across his waist, shielding scenes that defy description.

All his body’s meridians were now unblocked, Ning Daoran felt reborn, his true thoughts clear and unobstructed!

He had finally succeeded!

With the foundation of the Evergreen Technique, and reaching the extreme realm in the True Yang Furnace Technique, after more than a hundred years of tempering, Ning Daoran had finally succeeded in crafting his first Daoist Body—

The Ding Fire Spirit Body!

Legend has it, the Ding Fire Spirit Body is a supreme Daoist Body that could seldom be achieved by those who major in fire attribute techniques and are of great fortune.

Once the Ding Fire Spirit Body was achieved, it was akin to rebirth—improving not only his talent and understanding but even transforming the cultivator’s spirit root quality!

Ning Daoran used his divine sense to introspect his body, and when his gaze fell upon the intertwined green and fiery red spirit root, his heart pounded fiercely, he was no longer a weakling!

Transformed by the rebirth of the Ding Fire Spirit Body, his Ninth Grade mixed spiritual root had refined and evolved into a Fourth Grade Wood Fire Spirit Root!

This also meant… Ning Daoran’s cultivation speed would henceforth be faster, and the difficulty of breakthroughs significantly reduced!

Many say that when a cultivator awakens their spirit root, their ultimate potential is already predetermined—this determinism comes from the laws of spirit roots, the quality of which can dictate the length of a cultivator’s path.

At this moment, having transformed his Ninth Grade mixed spirit into a Fourth Grade Wood Fire Spirit Root, Ning Daoran had arguably defied fate!

He was in high spirits!

When Ning Daoran once again sensed the spiritual energy within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, it indeed felt more distinct; having evolved into a Fourth Grade spirit root, his sensitivity to spiritual energy was incomparable to before!

A Fourth Grade Dual Spirit Root, just one step away from the Top Three Qualities.

While still not the highest quality of spirit roots, Ning Daoran was immensely satisfied.

Moreover, achieving the Ding Fire Spirit Body might not be Ning Daoran’s limit, especially since the True Yang Furnace Technique was only an incomplete chapter—if one day he could acquire the complete heart method from the Fierce Sun Dao Palace and cultivate his physical body for another hundred years, perhaps an even stronger Daoist Body than the Ding Fire Spirit Body could be crafted!

Learning is endless, so is the path of cultivation.

For a moment, Ning Daoran seemed to see the direction of the Dao, overjoyed.

…

In the afternoon, he emerged from seclusion.

Ning Daoran sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, inviting Lin Man over to discuss talismans; in the last sea battle, he had expended a large number of talismans against Nascent Soul Old Monster Ancestor Xu, especially Divine Speed Talismans and Divine Frost Talismans, which needed replenishing.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, you look quite radiant.”

Lin Man held a teacup by the handle and took a light sip, casually wrapping some hair behind her ear.

The simple gesture was tantalizing.

For a beautiful and dignified woman like her, such movements were profoundly lethal, especially so for someone like Ning Daoran, a long-time bachelor and older male cultivator.

“Mm.”

Ning Daoran smiled slightly. Protected by the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, the aura of his Ding Fire Spirit Body was completely concealed. With Lin Man’s cultivation at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, she could hardly notice anything amiss—only a slight change in her perception.

“Talisman Master Lin, I wish to refine another batch of Third-tier High-Grade Talismans. Would you have time?”

“I do,”

Lin Man smiled gently. “However, after a long period of seclusion, my supply of Dan Sand for talisman creation has run out, and my talisman pen is severely worn. To not compromise the quality of your talismans, it’s best we first head to Qingfu Square to get a new Third-tier Talisman Pen.”

“In that case…”

Ning Daoran said, “Shall I accompany Talisman Master Lin for a trip to Qingfu Square? I would like to see if there’s anything of interest for me there as well.”

“Indeed.”

Lin Man flashed a small smile. “Let’s not delay and head out now?”

“Agreed.”

In the afternoon, Qingfu Square was bustling with people.

Dressed in a green robe, Ning Daoran emitted a faint Golden Core aura. Although nearly two hundred years old, he still looked youthful but with an air of profound experience similar to a deeply rooted tree.

Lin Man was in a deep blue long dress with a white shawl that seemed to be crafted from the fur of a Third-tier Demon Beast, categorized as “Vestment Robe” that could offer formidable defense during combats. As a Third-tier Talisman Master who was not lacking in wealth, wearing such treasures was perfectly reasonable.

Thus, this duo, often covertly referred to as an “Immortal Couple” by many in Immortal White Dragon City, immediately drew many gazes upon their arrival.

Even Workshop master Zhao Yuanlong of Qingfu Square looked somewhat astonished.

“Array Master Ning, Talisman Master Lin, what brings you two here together?”

His emphasis on “together” was notably pronounced.

Instantly, Lin Man’s face turned slightly red, yet she remained silent, merely stealing a glance at Ning Daoran—it was naturally up to the man to explain such matters.
