Chapter 101: During this period of time when Tu Lingjing
followed Chu Ning, Ling Xiaobai was able to understand and speak more words with spiritual consciousness than before.
From Ling Xiaobai's intermittent messages, Chu Ning finally got a general idea.
Ling Xiaobai said that when he came out of the mountain a few days ago, he was chased by these two monsters.
So after seeing Chu Ning's breakthrough in strength, he invited the other party to avenge him.
The little guy said that there was a bigger guy who was even more powerful, and that he would go after Chu Ning and it to improve their strength together.
Chu Ning was squatting next to the corpse of the blood-stained one-horned ape just now.
After hearing these words, his eyes flickered for a few times, and he asked Ling Xiaobai:
"Did you run out of the Qingxia Mountains? Where?"
Ling Xiaobai called out twice, roughly responding to Chu Ning guessed, but the little guy couldn't tell exactly where.
At this moment, Chu Ning finally confirmed the previous animal disaster.
It really has something to do with this little guy.
The powerful big guy mentioned by Ling Xiaobai is most likely the monster with the strength of the foundation-building stage mentioned by Lin Changqing.
And this further confirmed Chu Ning's judgment that Ling Xiaobai was indeed of extraordinary origin.
Chu Ning stopped asking at this time and should be able to figure it out later.
At this moment, he looked at the blood-spotted one-horned ape corpse in front of him again.
This first-level high-level demon beast has not yet formed a demon elixir, and the only things that are valuable are some parts of its body.
And the most valuable thing about this blood-spotted one-horned ape is undoubtedly the horn.
Next is this fur with good defense.
But when his eyes fell on the horn, he frowned slightly.
The blood-spotted one-horned ape has rough skin and thick flesh, but it is not easy to get.
This can be seen from the fact that the monster did not suffer much trauma when his own spell hit the opponent just now.
Thinking like this, Chu Ning began to try to use magic to cut.
But at this time, Chu Ning tried to use the blade technique and the Cangmu Sword Technique, but could not cut off the horn from the blood-spotted one-horned ape's head.
He frowned and looked at his storage bag.
There are a few magic weapons here, such as the slender young man's thorn and the yellow-faced man's short spear, but they don't look very sharp.
Sure enough, Chu Ning took it out and tried it, but to no avail.
Finally, his attention fell on Old Man Sun's black knife, and he took it out of the storage bag.
Since the last time these things were put into the storage bag, Chu Ning has never picked them up again.
At this moment, when he took out the black knife, he couldn't help but let out a surprised "Eh".
But he saw that the knife, which had lost its spirituality, had returned to its normal appearance at this moment.
As soon as Chu Ning got it, he could feel that its quality was not low, and he could sense the magic power.
"Could it be that after leaving it for a while, this black knife can be used again?"
Thinking like this, Chu Ning tried to gather mana from his hands and inject it into the black knife.
This knife was no longer unable to inject mana like last time. As soon as Chu Ning's mana came into contact, it easily entered the knife.
Immediately, the black knife began to tremble slightly, and it made a whining sound, as if it was about to fly out at any time.
Chu Ning quickly withdrew his magic power, and the black knife suddenly returned to normal.
"It's really like that." Chu Ning felt happy.
He could clearly feel just now that as long as he continued to inject mana, he would be able to fully activate the knife.
Moreover, this jet-black knife gave him the feeling that it was very lethal.
It requires a lot of mana.
"It seems that this is indeed a rare treasure, but there are great restrictions on its use. I don't know whether it is because of damage or some other reason.
It's no wonder that Old Man Sun never used it."
Chu Ning held the jet black knife. , trying to cut the base of the blood-spotted one-horned ape's horn.
To his surprise, he could easily cut off the blood-spotted one-horned ape's horn.
"This knife is so sharp!"
Chu Ning held the horn of the blood-spotted one-horned ape in one hand and the black knife in the other, and couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed.
He slashed directly at the body of the blood-spotted one-horned ape, and a blood mark suddenly appeared, and then the piece of fur was torn open.
Without using any magic power, this jet-black knife was able to easily break through the fur of the blood-spotted one-horned ape.
This made Chu Ning couldn't help but marvel.
If this attack really hits the target with mana, it would be extremely lethal.
Chu Ning put the horn of the blood-spotted unicorn into the storage bag, and then peeled off the complete animal skin.
The freshly peeled animal skin looks a little scary, but it's not a big problem.
Chu Ning directly used a cleaning technique, and the animal skin was clean.
Putting the animal skin into the storage bag, Chu Ning came to the body of the female blood-spotted one-horned ape.
Following the same pattern, he cut off the horn, peeled off the animal skin and put it into a storage bag.
At this time, Chu Ning glanced at the cave of the two monster beasts.
After thinking for a while, I sensed it with my spiritual sense and found that there was no monster inside.
Only then did he greet Ling Xiaobai and walk in.
The two blood-spotted one-horned apes were killed by him, and nothing else came out, so there must be no danger in entering.
But he had never seen this monster's cave before.
Entering the cave, a fishy smell of monsters suddenly came.
Chu Ning frowned slightly, glared at Ling Xiaobai and said,
"You can't make such a stink in the future, or you won't live in my place."
Ling Xiaobai let out an aggrieved "嘤", then It should mean how could I be like this with them.
Chu Ning took a quick look and saw that there were indeed no other monsters inside.
However, the cave is littered with the corpses of many first-level monster beasts.
Chu Ning even saw the remains of one or two first-level monsters.
Among them, there are also some monster materials that can be directly sold.
For example, armored ox horns, wild boar tusks, etc., although these materials are not very valuable.
But Chu Ning didn't want too little, so he simply collected everything he could sell.
Anyway, he now has enough storage bags, so he can easily pick up spiritual stones.
Chu Ning also discovered at this moment that the spiritual energy in this cave was quite good.
After thinking about it, while picking it up, he once again used his spiritual consciousness to sense it carefully.
Want to see what else is good.
After a while, his eyes fell on the place where the two monsters usually lay.
Use the clearing technique to clear away all the debris on the surface.
Immediately, a fist-sized yellow spar was revealed.
Chu Ning walked over and took a look, and immediately felt the rich spiritual energy contained in it.
He pondered for a while, suddenly thought of something, and squatted down happily.
"Is this an earth spirit crystal?"
The so-called spirit crystals are actually of the same type as spirit stones. They are both formed by the long-term condensation of spiritual energy into fossils.
But the spiritual stones that monks usually use have no attributes.
Spiritual crystals generally refer to spiritual stones with pure spiritual energy.
For example, the earth spirit crystal contains pure earth attribute spiritual energy.
This kind of spiritual crystal is much more effective for monks who practice earth attribute skills to absorb the spiritual energy than spiritual stones.
Moreover, some special earth magic tools also need to be used, so they are very popular in the market.
Chu Ning didn't know the specific value of such a piece of earth spirit crystal, but he thought it was worth a lot.
Chu Ning once again took out the black knife and carefully dug out the spiritual crystal from the ground.
And when he dug it out completely, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Just now he only saw a fist-sized earth spirit crystal exposed on the surface.
And when he dug deeper, he discovered that the spiritual crystal was actually long.
The earth spirit crystal, which is the size of a fist, is nearly 8 inches long.
"No wonder these two earth monsters chose to build their caves here. It turns out that there are such large pieces of earth spirit crystals inside.
It seems that the earth spirit energy here is relatively richer."
Chu Ning smiled while adding the earth spirit crystal. The spiritual crystal was put directly into the storage bag.
After carefully scanning the cave again to make sure nothing was missing, Chu Ning came out of the beast cave.
Calling up Ling Xiaobai, he drove the wind-chasing shuttle and flew back and forth. "Xiaobai, when I become stronger, you can take me to where I came from."
Chu Ning smiled and said to Ling Xiaobai in the air.
"Hey!"
What he got was Ling Xiaobai's reply.
It seems that this little thing is looking forward to it.
The chasing shuttle flew all the way to the outside of the mountain. Chu Ning did not return directly to Fangshi, but landed at Lingtian.
Entering the spiritual field, Chu Ning used the Aoki Chunhua Technique on Jin Yuanguo.
Feeling the growth of Jin Yuanguo, Chu Ning smiled.
"In about half a month, Jin Yuan Guo will be ripe.
By then, they will believe the number of Jin Yuan Guo if we directly say that 20 acres of Jin Yuan Guo have been planted."
Although he only planted 10 acres of Jin Yuan Guo, in terms of the number of Jin Yuan Guo, The harvest may not be worse than others planting 20 acres.
The Qingmu Chunhua Technique performed by the Yinmu spirit body can really bring a lot of help to these spiritual plants. He didn't even let Ling Xiaobai follow them to ripen them.
The 10-acre spiritual field next to it is still empty for the time being because there is no need to plant amethyst bamboo anymore.
Let Jin Yuan Guo grow slowly under the influence of Qingmu Chunhua Technique, and Chu Ning returned to Fang City directly by the wind.
When they arrived at Fangshi, Chu Ning was about to enter. Gu Xiaoqing, who was opposite, seemed to hear the noise and walked to the door and called out to him.
"Junior Brother Chu is back. Deacon Lin came to us just now to hand over the harvest.
Since you were not here, let me inform you that he has been selecting disciples from various cultivating families recently and will be here tomorrow morning..." "
Selecting from the cultivating families Disciple?"
When Chu Ning heard this, she immediately turned to Gu Xiaoqing curiously and asked:
"Senior Sister Gu, what kind of selection process is used to select disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Family to join the sect?"
Chu Ning was indeed a little curious about this.
He had been selected through the mortal city before, and he really didn't know much about how these disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Family who were attached to the Qingxi Sect entered the sect.
Gu Xiaoqing explained with a smile.
"Actually, the selection among cultivating families is similar to the selection of mortals by sects. It is nothing more than arranging deacons or elders from each sect to go to the family to test the spiritual talent.
Then, according to the level of talent, they are arranged to different places."
"Of course, there are also There are some differences..."
Following Gu Xiaoqing's explanation, Chu Ning finally had a general understanding.
That is the major cultivating families that are attached to the sect, and the sect has arranged for the deacons of the Foreign Affairs Hall to be responsible for liaison.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, there will not be large-scale selection.
When these deacons usually go to the Immortal Cultivation Family, they directly check their qualifications and bring them back to the sect if they find the best ones.
As for some family members with four or five spiritual roots, they would generally not be brought to the sect.
After all, you can practice within the family, and you can be responsible for things like planting spiritual plants.
"If that's the case, then why does Deacon Lin have to come here specifically for selection this time?"
Chu Ning asked with some confusion.
Gu Xiaoqing also said with some confusion: "I'm not particularly sure, but I heard it from Senior Brother Du the other day. It seems that the
selection is different this time. The disciples selected this time from the major cultivating families are all at the sixth level of Qi training. Or there are disciples at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation who hope to reach the sixth level of Qi Cultivation.
It does not depend on any spiritual qualifications. As long as they have reached this level of cultivation, they can be brought into the sect to practice."
Is it the sixth level of Qi Cultivation again?
When Chu Ning heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
Why does the sect need so many disciples above the sixth level of Qi refining?
Is it related to the secret mission again?
Or do you want to recruit more disciples to fill the vacancies within the sect?
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning didn't ask more questions like Gu Xiaoqing, maybe she didn't know very well.
On the other hand, you can ask more about Lin Changqing, maybe you can hear some news.
After getting in touch in the past few months, with Chu Ning giving some spiritual stones or talismans from time to time, the relationship with Lin Changqing has become much closer.
Although he is not as familiar with Zhuang Yunde as before.
But this cold-faced deacon was pretty good when it came to treating Chu Ning.
However, when thinking of Zhuang Yunde, Chu Ning remembered that this serving disciple from District D had gone on some secret mission a few months ago, and he didn't know what the situation was like.
Perhaps, we can try asking Lin Changqing together tomorrow.
Early the next morning, not long after Chu Ning opened the door, Lin Changqing arrived.
Chu Ning took out the spiritual stones that he had prepared long ago. In addition to the 500 that he handed over to the sect, he also took out an additional 30 spiritual stones and gave them to Lin Changqing.
When Lin Changqing saw the two piles of spiritual stones, a gentle smile appeared on his cold face.
He did not directly put away all the spirit stones. Instead, he took out 40 spirit stones from the 500 spirit stones and handed them back to Chu Ning.
"Recently, there are not many people from various families, and there are not many people in this city. Your cultivation level is low.
Let's give a slight discount on these spiritual stones."
When Chu Ning heard that, he took back the 40 spiritual stones, and naturally said the same thing. Thanks again and again.
Immediately, he remembered what Gu Xiaoqing said yesterday, and asked curiously:
"Deacon Lin, I heard that the sect has been selecting a large number of disciples from the immortal cultivating family recently. What is the reason for this?"
Lin Changqing glanced at Chu Ning and pondered. After a while, he still said:
"It was still because of the previous sect mission. This time, the sect arranged too many people. After these few months, it was found that many places could not operate.
So the sect thought that Some qi-refining disciples from the Immortal Cultivation Family are selected to enter the sect."
After a pause, Lin Changqing continued:
"It's not just the Immortal Cultivation Family, the sect plans to adjust the selection among mortals to once every two years.
Okay, these are It doesn't have much to do with you.
Since Fangshi has arranged for you alone, you can pay the monthly payment on time, and the sect will not arrange for anyone else."
Chu Ning nodded, and then pretended to ask casually. Said:
"Deacon Lin, when I was in District D, I was taken care of by a senior brother named Zhuang Yunde.
He previously participated in a sect mission and said he would visit me when he came back. I don't know if he has come back."
"Master Zhuang Nephew? I know him, he went to participate in the sect mission..."
Speaking of this, Lin Changqing shook his head.
"Most likely he has not come back. Generally, even if someone goes back, it will take him a year or two, and some even take ten years.
But if he comes back, he will become an inner disciple, and it may not be so convenient to come see you. "
Chun Ning wanted to speak again, but Lin Changqing had already waved his hand and said:
"I know you want to ask the sect about the mission, but you really asked the wrong person. This kind of thing is something that even us deacons can't do. I don't know.
Probably only the elders and sect masters of the sect know about it. Even if you ask me, I can't answer it."
Lin Changqing finished speaking and left in a hurry.
Chu Ning shook his head. He didn't expect that even a foundation-building deacon like Lin Changqing didn't know about the sect's mission.
I don’t know why this sect is so secretive.
It's better to stop asking yourself.
In the next few days, Chu Ning practiced peacefully.
While practicing the Jiuyan Body Refining Technique to strengthen the muscles, he also consolidated his status at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Of course, the art of refining the gods has not fallen behind either.
At the same time, he also increased his efforts in cultivating the Golden Yuan Fruit in Lingtian.
After all, this spiritual plant is about to harvest.
At the same time, he was also thinking about whether to go to Fengxiafang.
In fact, Chu Ning wanted to go to Fengxiafang more than once or twice.
The main reason is that there are few people in Yanjifang who buy high-grade elixirs, so Gu Xiaoqing only has the Juyuan Pill, which is a pill that improves cultivation.
As for Chu Ning's current cultivation level in the late stage of Qi refining, if he takes Juyuan Dan, the effect will certainly be there, but it will not be as obvious as in the middle stage of Qi refining.
It is best to have primary and high-grade elixirs suitable for use in the later stages of Qi refining, so that the speed of cultivation can be faster.
At the same time, after feeling the effect of body tempering last time, Chu Ning also wanted to see if there were any body tempering products for sale.
After all, although the Tielan orchids he planted have already grown Tillandsia fruits, they are still one or two months away from being mature for picking.
But before that, because he had to go to the cave every day to temper his body with the water of the Earth Spirit Spring, Chu Ning had been Didn't make it.
Now that the Golden Dollar Fruit is almost ripe again, Chu Ning thought about it and decided that it would not be too late to wait until the Golden Dollar Fruit is ripe and picked.
During this period, something happened that surprised Chu Ning a little bit.
This little guy, Ling Xiaobai, actually quietly advanced to become a first-level high-level monster.
Especially what made Chu Ning feel a little incredible was that Ling Xiaobai was just sleeping in the yard that day.
Chu Ning is practicing the Qingmu Changchun Kung Fu, but after Chu Ning finishes practicing.
However, he discovered that Ling Xiaobai had already entered the first level of advanced level from the first level of intermediate level.
Chu Ning could only sigh inwardly at the fact that he could improve his cultivation even while sleeping.
It felt like Ling Xiaobai's cock was bigger than his own.
