Chapter 318: Chapter 316 Feng Jingshan
Chapter 318 -316 Feng Jingshan
“Test my martial arts?”
Ning Daoran couldn’t help but recall the line from the movie “The Deer and the Cauldron” said by Ao Bai. If Feng Yinghai wanted to test his cultivation, what should he do?
At this moment, after enduring so many years, it shouldn’t be the time to turn tail and run, right?
He furrowed his brows, extended his left arm, and was prepared to sacrifice his arm if needed to survive if Feng Yinghai launched an attack; at most, he would lose an arm, how bad could it be!
Moreover, Ning Daoran’s Soul Suppressing Attack could be launched at any moment. If Feng Yinghai really harbored lethal intentions and caught him off guard with a Divine Thought Attack, surely he could handle it.
“Pat…”
Feng Yinghai lightly placed a finger on the wrist of Ning Daoran, where his veins were visible, immediately a wisp of green aura rose, and the Evergreen Technique inside Ning Daoran’s body began to automatically rebound.
Ning Daoran’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly ran the Eternal Green Technique silently, retaining only the cultivation of the Sixth Layer, safely concealing any excess.
“Hmm.”
Soon, Feng Yinghai nodded his head, opened his eyes to look at Ning Daoran, and said, “Wood Fire Spirit Root, so young yet you have cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the Sixth Layer, adding the Small Accomplishment Stage of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, intending to tread the path of nurturing fire with wood?”
Ning Daoran showed a look of shame: “Vice Palace Master sees clearly… Before ascending the mountain I had a master who not only taught me the Burning Flame Technique but also passed on the Evergreen Technique. I practiced both techniques, but later found that the Evergreen Technique advanced faster, thus I focused on cultivating it. After ascending the mountain, I cultivated the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, which can now only be considered to have achieved minor success.”
“That’s quite impressive already.”
Feng Yinghai smiled and said, “So you have already cultivated the Evergreen Technique to the Sixth Layer, no wonder you were able to achieve great success in yesterday’s fight against demon birds. Without you from Ning City, it would have been difficult for the other Guardian Disciples to suppress that Second Rank Middle Stage demon bird.”
“Vice Palace Master overpraises.”
Ning Daoran bowed with his hands clasped together, displaying a humble demeanor.

“Ning City, if I were to give you a chance to cultivate the sixth chapter of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, would you be willing?” Feng Yinghai suddenly asked.
“Ah?”
Not just Ning Daoran, but even Xu Baisheng and the other two disciples looked surprised.
“However, this sixth chapter is a secret not passed down within the Taoist Palace, only the Palace Master, Vice Palace Master, and Inheriting Disciples are entitled to cultivate it. Thus, to obtain the sixth chapter, you need to pass a trial of mine.”
Feng Yinghai’s gaze shifted to the three disciples: “The same goes for you, participate in this trial together with Guardian Ning. If you can pass, I’ll make an exception and teach you the complete True Yang Furnace Technique.”
Immediately, they were overjoyed and knelt together: “Thank you, Master!”
Ning Daoran spoke softly, “May I know what kind of trial Vice Palace Master is referring to?”
“No hurry.”
Feng Yinghai returned to his seat, sitting upright and said: “Ning City, this trial has been prepared by me for many years, originally for my own disciples. However, seeing that you have good talent and have been loyal to Heavenly Mechanism Peak, I’ll also give you a chance. You’ll participate in the trial as the Guardian of Heavenly Mechanism Peak.”
As he spoke, he added: “Actually, it’s fitting for me to take you as my disciple and have you participate in the trial as a disciple. However, as the Vice Palace Master, taking a disciple is a matter of great importance; my senior brother is also in seclusion, so this matter can only be postponed. We’ll let you try first, how does that suit you?”
“Disciple will follow the Vice Palace Master’s arrangements.”
“Good!”
Feng Yinghai took out four Jade Scrolls from his sleeve, with a wave of his hand, they flew towards the four individuals, saying: “This scroll records a Treasure Skill called the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique, a nourishing life technique which isn’t much help in advancing realm, but it can prolong life. From today, you all will start cultivating this technique; whoever first cultivates the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique to the Fifth Layer, will obtain the sixth chapter of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique and the complete Divine Technique Heart Method!”
At that moment, everyone showed joy.
The young man with a slightly fierce look in his eyes was Meng Yuliang, Feng Yinghai’s second disciple, immensely talented and had already advanced to Late-stage Foundation Establishment at a young age.
At this moment, Meng Yuliang slightly raised his head and a hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes when he looked at Ning Daoran.
He felt somewhat unwilling in his heart. It was one thing for him, his older senior brother Xu Baisheng, and younger junior brother Fu Yan to receive the trial from their master with the opportunity to obtain the sixth chapter, but what was Ning City, merely a Guardian, not even a True Disciple, to receive such a heavenly opportunity?
As for Xu Baisheng, the eldest disciple, he merely frowned slightly.
At this moment, he finally understood the deep intention of the master. The reason for exceptionally allowing Ning Daoran to take part in the trial was precisely because Ning Daoran’s Evergreen Technique had already been cultivated to the Sixth Layer, and from the names, it was obvious that the Evergreen Technique was related to the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique; with the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Evergreen Technique, cultivating the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique might indeed receive divine assistance.
Therefore, his master had never shown favoritism towards himself; instead, everything that his master had done was to achieve that final goal.
The third disciple Fu Yan, a person with a gentle gaze, smiled and nodded at Ning Daoran.
“From today onwards.”
Feng Yinghai said, “Ning City, you will also move to the Quiet Heart Courtyard to reside together. The Spiritual Energy here is richer, which will be helpful for your cultivation of the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique. I will have someone clean up a room for you, and you can move here tomorrow.”
“Yes, thank you, Vice Palace Master!”
…
At night, within the roaring wind of the Cave Mansion.
Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, currently unclear of Feng Yinghai’s intentions by having four people cultivate the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique together—could there be some trick within this technique?
However, the good news was that Feng Yinghai indeed had not seen through his actual cultivation and identity.
Since that was the case, there was no other choice. Ning Daoran proceeded step by step. Cultivating Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique wasn’t difficult. Although this technique was a bit peculiar and couldn’t be recorded into the intensive cultivation system, it wasn’t a mysterious or hard to comprehend cultivation method. With the foundation of the Eternal Green Technique’s twenty-first layer, if Ning Daoran was willing, he could advance its realm to the Fifth Layer within one year!
However, there was no need to rush.
He was more curious about why Feng Yinghai needed the cultivation of the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique to reach the Fifth Layer. What was his goal?
Of course, if he could take advantage of Feng Yinghai’s scheme and get his hands on the sixth chapter of Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique in the process, that would be the best outcome. By then, he could instantly cultivate to the Return to Nature stage, and together with the Soul Suppressing Book, even if he couldn’t defeat Feng Yinghai, escape would be more than viable.
The next day.
Ning Daoran arrived at the mountaintop’s courtyard named “Quiet Heart Courtyard” with a small amount of baggage. A few remarkably pretty servant junior sisters had already cleaned up a tidy and bright room and respectfully called him “Senior Brother Ning.”
Ning Daoran momentarily felt dazed; it had been a long time since anyone had called him that, and it was quite nostalgic.
Thus, he began his life in Quiet Heart Courtyard.
Since he was under Feng Yinghai’s watchful eye, Ning Daoran dared not overstep too much. The restrictions in Spirit Garden Cave Heaven were directly enforced, letting Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai focus on cultivation; as for his own room, Ning Daoran didn’t dare set up any prohibitions, to avoid arousing Feng Yinghai’s suspicions.
He had to keep Feng Yinghai entirely in the dark for safety.
As the sun set.
A servant junior sister brought him food, which tasted quite good.
After eating, Ning Daoran stayed in his room, not daring to go out, worried about overstepping.
Until the moon was high in the sky, Ning Daoran opened his room’s door and stretched his limbs under the moonlight.
“Are you Senior Brother Ning?”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from the direction of the main house.
Following that, a figure emerged from the main house; it turned out to be a very delicate-looking woman in a white robe, her face finely crafted, exuding a sense of ethereal charm, though there was a distinctly odd air about her.
Ning Daoran sensed that this woman seemed unwell.
This woman, if no surprise, was indeed Feng Yinghai’s only daughter, Feng Jingshan, known as Young Junior Sister by everyone.
“That’s correct.”
Ning Daoran bowed with clasped hands and said, “Ning Cheng has seen Young Junior Sister!”
Feng Jingshan paused, feeling that this Senior Brother Ning’s demeanor was quite different from the other senior brothers like Xu, Meng, and Fu; he gave a gentle, comforting presence, yet it was difficult to clearly describe.
“Feng Jingshan, has seen Senior Brother Ning!”
She performed a formal greeting with a smile, “I heard yesterday that Senior Brother Ning was moving here. I indeed saw Senior Brother today. By the way… have you started cultivating the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique?”
“Yes.”
Ning Daoran nodded: “Unfortunately, how profound is the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique, and I’m naturally a bit slow in understanding, it’s really embarrassing.”
Feng Jingshan covered her mouth and chuckled: “Which technique in this world can be mastered all at once? Senior brother is too modest.”
“By the way…”
She suddenly remembered something and said softly, “Senior brother, don’t go away, I’ll get something for you!”
“Oh?”
Ning Daoran was surprised. This little junior sister he just met was really not treating him as an outsider.
In fact, he was just a guardian disciple temporarily residing in Quiet Heart Courtyard, and he really couldn’t compare with the other three True Disciples.
Returning with footsteps, Feng Jingshan came back holding a jade bottle, smiling, “Senior brother, this is a bottle of Primordial Multiplication Pills, not any extremely precious elixir, but it is helpful for cultivating the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique. Father also gave me some to consume more for consolidating fundamentals, but I know these pills are useless for me, so I would like to give them to Senior Brother.”
“Ah?”
Ning Daoran was astonished, “Young Junior Sister, we just met for the first time, this may not be appropriate…”
He was very uneasy. This was not a trivial matter!
If his identity were exposed, he might not die, as Feng Yinghai would probably refrain from a deadly assault considering the Slaying Immortal Tower’s stance, but if Feng Jingshan treated him so well… knowing Feng Yinghai in the Fierce Sun Dao Palace was a well-known “daughter-slave”, it would be strange if he didn’t react violently!
Moreover, with Ning Daoran’s keen senses, he already felt there were four ears perked up listening to their conversation.
“Senior Brother!”
Feng Jingshan said, “Senior Brother just arrived at Quiet Heart Courtyard, and since it’s the first time I meet you, giving a small gift is no big deal. Senior brother, please accept it. I will tell father truthfully, and he will definitely not oppose.”
…
“Sigh…”
A sigh came from the secret chamber inside the main house, aging etched over Feng Yinghai’s solemn face. How was he to deal with this situation?
