Chapter 358: Chapter 356 Wanren City

“So strong?”

Ning Daoran slightly startled.

With his strength today, having twenty-one layers of the Eternal Green Technique plus fifteen layers of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture shielding his body, a Class A Paperfolk possessing forty percent of his energy was already terrifying. It was stronger compared to an ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage Practitioner, yet it was instantly killed by a strike from the Thunder Sword?

This indicates… without a doubt, the Thunder Sword’s strike is an instant kill against Golden Core Middle Stage, and against Golden Core Late Stage… perhaps it could also have an unexpected effect!

In any case, the lethality of the Thunder Sword is extraordinary. Compared to the Golden Silk Sword, the Thunder Sword’s “Armor-piercing” might be slightly lesser, but when combined with the Five Thunder Divine Spell and Dual Yin Sword Intent, its lethality far surpasses the Golden Silk Sword!

Moreover, the Thunder Sword is incredibly fast, more suitable for sneak attacks than the Golden Silk Sword.

“Buzz~~~”

Ning Daoran kept the Thunder Sword inside his body. He slowly frowned; though powerful, that strike had consumed at least ten percent of his mana. A Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure is indeed a Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure; it’s quite strenuous for a Golden Core Cultivator to wield.

“Swish!”

He trembled his palm again, summoning a second Class A Paperfolk, which resembled a charming middle-aged woman. She flew to the distant sky of the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven and covered her mouth, laughing lightly, “Master, your concubine…”

Before she could finish, Ning Daoran made his move again.

A strong crossbow emitting a bloody glimmer appeared in his hand. With a “swoosh,” a crossbow bolt shot out like thunder, its speed was incredibly fast, and it locked onto the woman’s essence qi, making it unavoidable!

“Ah?”

The Paperfolk resembling a middle-aged woman hurriedly activated Dragon Demon Power, and layers of dragon scale-like essence qi condensed in front of her. Simultaneously, the Eternal Green Technique was vigorously activated, countless undefeated trees surrounded and protected her thoroughly.

“Puff!”

Amidst a gentle sound, the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow’s bolt broke through the layers of barriers, instantly piercing the heart of the middle-aged woman, shooting her amidst the wind. The force was so strong that the wound on her chest was as big as a bowl, with all flesh and blood being evaporated by the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow, indicating its lethal power!

“Peng~~~”

In the next second, the second layer of dark force within the bolt exploded, and the body of the middle-aged woman burst into a cloud of blood in the air, with pieces of scattered paper floating and burning; she was literally evaporated from existence by the arrow!

‘Damn…’

Ning Daoran was immensely shocked, looking down at the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow in his hand, this weapon was truly extraordinary!

Regrettably, the side effect was the same as the Thunder Sword. The consumption of mana by a Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure is enormous. And Ning Daoran was only at Golden Core Mid-stage; indeed, it was like a small horse pulling a large cart – this arrow directly sucked away nearly ten percent of his mana.

If so, both the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow and Thunder Sword must be used cautiously in the future. After all, mana is critically important during magical fights. Once too much is consumed, it could potentially lead him into an irreversible crisis.

Though the Eternal Green Technique is mysterious and regenerates mana very quickly, Ning Daoran had profound foundations; even the Eternal Green Technique would need quite some time to fill his dantian with mana.

Storing the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow inside his body, Ning Daoran frowned slightly. One step at a time; for now, nurture these two treasures internally. After reaching Nascent Soul, he at least wouldn’t have to worry about wielding Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasures, and if he ever obtained a better Spiritual Treasure in the future, he could simply replace them.

Thus, after calming his excited heart, he walked out of the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

“Zhu Yue.”

He looked at the beautiful maid and handed her a Jade Bottle, saying, “This is a bottle of True Essence Pills for advancing mid-stage Foundation Establishment mana. I am about to continue meditating on cultivation techniques. I think you shouldn’t go out these days either, just stay in the Cave Mansion and meditate with me, hoping you can advance to Late-stage Foundation Establishment soon and prepare for Core Formation.”

“Yes!”

Sui Zhuyue smiled lightly with dimples, “Then I will meditate in the side hall. If the young master needs anything, just let me know with a Sound Transmission Talisman.”

“Focus on your cultivation during your meditation, don’t worry about anything else.”

“Yes!”

Thus, master and servant separately entered meditation.

Sui Zhuyue took the True Essence Pill, diligently cultivating to enhance her mana, while Ning Daoran continued to study the Five Elements Unification Skill. Each day this skill was not accomplished, his heart lingered in unease, not knowing when the Black Tide and the Red Demon Army might return to earth; it was crucial to be prepared in advance.

…

Time swiftly passed, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ning Daoran was 240 years old, almost living like an old monster.

Within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Little Bai gracefully entered.

“Young master, I have obtained information you asked me to investigate.”

Little Bai bowed slightly and said, “Three days later, in the auction at Qingfu Square within Wanren City, the finale treasure is indeed a Nascent Condensing Sacred Item, an extremely precious Red Sun Ganoderma. This item was consigned by a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator to Qingfu Square, with a starting price set at fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and the estimated final sale price will not be lower than two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”

“Hmm.”

Ning Daoran nodded, “If that’s the case, I shall make a trip to Wanren City.”

Little Bai smiled and nodded.

Ning Daoran, dressed in a light cyan robe, walked out of the meditation hut. After two years of cultivation, the aura of the Eternal Green Technique around him had become denser, and his entire demeanor became more tranquil and subdued. Plus, with the appearance of an eighteen-year-old, if he didn’t speak, he truly had an air of immortal charm.

Over the years, Ning Daoran had been planning for the Nascent Condensing Elixir.

The Demon Infant Grass had been obtained in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm and was now planted in a heavily prohibited Spirit field within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. Moreover, the seeds of the Demon Infant Grass had been replanted by him and had grown only some green sprouts over two years, indicating the long growth cycle of this top-tier medicinal ingredient.

As for other Nascent Condensing Elixirs, they naturally had to be obtained through various channels, and purchasing them at sky-high prices at auctions was one of the most time-efficient and effortless shortcuts, albeit slightly riskier.

“Master.”

After Ning Daoran left the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Sui Zhuyue emerged from a side hall, clad in a Flowing Cloud Plain Skirt. Over the past two years, her mana had improved significantly, and her entire spirit had greatly enhanced, respectfully saying: “Master, are you going out?”

“Indeed.”

Ning Daoran said, “I’m going to handle some matters in Wanren City. You stay in the Cave Mansion and continue your cultivation without distraction.”

“Yes!”

Sui Zhuyue bowed and paid her respects, her beautiful eyes watery, not daring to look directly at Ning Daoran.

…

In the afternoon, Ning Daoran left Kunpeng Immortal City and used Wood Escape in the dense forests to the north. By the time he flew out of the forest, he had disguised himself as a thin young cultivator with high cheekbones, wearing a gray-yellow long robe, his aura still in the Golden Core Middle Stage, but his appearance and Divine Soul aura had greatly changed, his eyes showing a trace of hostility.

As a Golden Core Cultivator possessing the power to shatter mountains, it was normal for him to have some hostility.

This incarnation, named Master Huanglu, roamed as a Loose Cultivator in Yunzhou.

The sound of wind broke sharply, and he no longer hesitated; his tunneling light headed directly towards his destination.

Two days later, he arrived at a majestic city situated on the plains in the Eastern Territory of Yunzhou, just like Kunpeng Immortal City, but Wanren City was a city where cultivators and mortals lived together, with a stronger mundane atmosphere, unlike Kunpeng Immortal City where only figures from the Cultivation World flew around.

Inside the city, a huge Qingfu Square spanned across.

The moment Ning Daoran stepped into the square, he saw a very familiar figure; the man wore a blue robe, a token indicating he was the Workshop master hanging from his waist, his appearance mature and composed— it was Zhao Yuanlong!

Back in the day, at Immortal White Dragon City, Ning Daoran and Lin Man had wandered around Qingfu Square, and Zhao Yuanlong was the Workshop master of that Qingfu Square. He did not expect to meet this Workshop master again in Wanren City after sixty years!

It seems that after the Qingfu Square in Immortal White Dragon City had been severely damaged during the beast tide, Zhao Yuanlong, disheartened, had moved his family to Wanren City to take on the role of Workshop master, hoping for a resurgence.

Moreover, Zhao Yuanlong had succeeded in his cultivation and had managed to achieve Core Formation, now a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist.”

Zhao Yuanlong immediately recognized Ning Daoran’s identity as a Golden Core Middle Stage Practitioner and personally came forward to greet him with a smile: “May I ask how to address Fellow Daoist?”

“I am Master Huanglu, just a Loose Cultivator.”

“Pleased to meet you, Fellow Daoist Huanglu, I am Zhao Yuanlong, the master of this Qingfu Square. May I know what Fellow Daoist Huanglu seeks in our store?”

“The auction tomorrow.”

Ning Daoran said, “I wonder how many Spirit Stones are needed to participate in the auction?”

“One hundred Spirit Stones!”

Zhao Yuanlong smilingly said, “Our square has plenty of guest rooms in the backyard. If Fellow Daoist Huanglu is attending tomorrow’s auction, it would be convenient to stay at Qingfu Square tonight. Our square is fully equipped, and at night, there are light songs and dances for guests, ensuring that Fellow Daoist will not be disappointed.”

“That would be excellent; thank you, Workshop master.”

Ning Daoran took out one hundred Spirit Stones, and Zhao Yuanlong waved his sleeve, then a young and pretty female cultivator handed a Jade Talisman to Ning Daoran, leading him to a very elegant small courtyard in the backyard to stay.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, releasing his Divine Sense for a scan and secretly marveling—the Qingfu Square had as many as a hundred such small courtyards in its vast backyard, which was quite frightening.

At that moment, many Great Cultivators were residing in these small courtyards. Upon sensing Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense sweeping through, several Golden Core Divine Senses came probing, reciprocating the favor, making a lively scene of mutual exploration for a while.

Soon, Ning Daoran grew tired of it.

Returning to the main building in the small courtyard, he set up dozens of layers of prohibition for Isolation before sitting down to continue studying the Five Elements Unification Skill, no longer concerning himself with the affairs outside.

…

The next day, in the morning.

“Senior Huanglu.”

The pretty female cultivator came again and said, “The Workshop master has asked me to lead Senior to the front hall; the auction is about to begin, and since Senior has come for this purpose, you shouldn’t miss it.”

“Alright.”

Ning Daoran, dressed in a Yellow Robe, stepped out with the female cultivator towards the front hall.

The backyard had winding paths and interconnected small roads; the female cultivator led Ning Daoran through several turns, escorting him to the designated elegant room, where she knelt down on the floor, smiling: “The auction is about to start, Senior. Do you need my attendance again?”

“No need; I know the rules.”

“Yes!”

The female cultivator left reluctantly, a hint of disappointment on her pretty face.
