Ningcheng, after more than half a year of changes, is no longer what it used to be.
When the city was first built, it was just a row of wooden houses. But now, it has beautiful buildings and houses, and monks come in an endless stream from hundreds of miles away.
At dawn, Ning Fan descended from the fairy clouds, witnessed the great changes in Ningcheng, and sighed.
The hundred-mile city wall is made of jade and gold and is nineteen feet high, which is enough to defend against the full blow of the Fusion Spirit monks. Moreover, a no-air formation is set up above the city wall to prevent enemy cultivators from attacking Ningcheng from above the city wall.
Outside the iron-forged city of Ning, teams of demon cultivators were patrolling back and forth. Their auras were not weak, and they were all above the seventh level of Pimai. They may wear black armor with seven plum blossom patterns embroidered on them, or silver armor with seven sword patterns embroidered on them, or ice armor with seven snow patterns embroidered on them. These three types of demonic cultivators are respectively affiliated with the Plum Guard, Sword Guard, and Ice Guard of the Three Divine Armies of Black Demons. In addition to the three divine armies, there is another type of demonic cultivator that patrols all directions.
This kind of demon cultivator wears red armor, and the word "Ning" is embroidered on the armor! These demon cultivators looked vaguely familiar. Most of them were the South Tower war guards that Ning Fan had conquered. The rest were demon cultivators who had defected.
Under the great reputation of Ning Hei Mo, demon cultivators who came to Ning Cheng to seek refuge were constantly coming and going. Now that the South Tower War Guards have been expanded, there are now six people, and their strength is not much weaker than that of the Three Gods Army.
The Four Guards of Ningcheng... are now famous in the Yue Kingdom. For more than half a year, Nangong led the Three Gods Army many times to encircle and suppress the bandits on all sides. This not only tempered the Three Gods Army in combat, but also greatly stabilized the surrounding areas of Ningcheng.
This is also the reason why Ning Fan walked slowly all night, but only attracted dozens of cultivators.
Nangong, the Duantianji, and Yuchi, the Kuangke, are now extremely well-known in the country of Yue.
The latter has advanced by leaps and bounds through dual cultivation with the pig, reaching the realm of the late stage of soul fusion, and his little pig has also reached the middle stage of soul fusion. One person and one demon, together, even a half-step golden elixir monk can fight!
And Nangong... with the elixir given by Ning Fan, his thunder veins recovered and he became a dual-spirited monk with both ice and thunder skills. His strength has returned to the middle stage of Golden Core. With his own skills, he even defeated an old monster in the later stage!
His reputation makes even the old monsters of the top sects fear him.
The only person whose reputation has disappeared is Situ, the leader of the sword guards.
After receiving the broken sword as a gift from Ning Fan, he left Ningcheng... seemingly to travel, but he was nowhere to be found!
"Brother Fan, look, the great changes in Ningcheng were all brought about by your elixir..." Zhihe's pure smile showed some pride. The proud one was his brother Fan, who had extraordinary abilities.
"The elixir is one of the reasons... Nangong's wisdom is the most important... He has also recovered his cultivation, only Situ is missing... But I feel that Situ's return will not be far away. Let's go , went home..."
Going home...Ningcheng is the home he, Ning Fan, established in the Yue Kingdom.
Lines of patrolling demon cultivators immediately became wary when they saw Ning Fan and others approaching. However, when they saw the people coming, they were Nan Wei and Zhi He, they all lowered their guard.
After the eyes of all the demon cultivators fell on Ning Fan, they all gasped.
This is their young master coming back!
Ning Cheng Ning Hei Mo, the Three Gods Army only knew about this person, but this person had never appeared. But their young master Ning Fan actually exists, and his current reputation is even more resounding than that of the old devil.
Ghost Bird Ning Zun! In his weak years, he defeated a ruthless monk in the middle stage of Golden Core!
"Welcome young master, return to Ningcheng!"
Each demon cultivator greeted them with loud voices and clasped fists. These greetings made the monks living in Ningcheng express surprise.
"What! Ning Zun is back! Great, I didn't expect that I didn't see the Black Demon Master during this trip, but I could see Ning Zun!"
...
As soon as he returned to the city, Ning Fan immediately summoned Nangong and informed him of the decisive battle after three months.
Nangong was naturally shocked, but amid the shock, there was a hint of excitement. Being able to fight against the Jiyin Sect and Tiandao Sect, and according to the young master's plan, the chance of success must be high.
This matter has not been notified to the Three Gods Army for the time being, in order to avoid too many people talking.
After a secret discussion with Nangong, Ning Fan immediately wrapped himself in a black cloak to cover his appearance, and recited the pseudo-spell to completely hide his cultivation.
With half-step Nascent Soul's spiritual thoughts, he used the Pseudo Nian Jue, and he immediately disguised himself as an old monster who had cultivated half-step Nascent Soul.
This scene greatly interested Zhihe, while Si Wuxie's beautiful eyes flashed with more confusion...
"Why, he wants to destroy my sect..." She seemed to remember some things about Tianli Sect, but it was still incomplete!
Then, a sensational news spread in Ningcheng.
Ning Heimo, who had been in seclusion for a long time since Ningcheng's Hundred Sects sought elixirs, has come out of seclusion!
Wearing a black cloak, his appearance could not be seen clearly. Walking in Ningcheng, he showed the terrifying aura of a half-step Nascent Soul, no weaker than the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom!
Those who are interested secretly release their spiritual thoughts to sense the details under Ning Heimo's cloak, but when they meet Ning Heimo's eyes, their hearts suddenly pour like a torrential rain, and their hearts and souls tremble!
This kind of method is simply unheard of in the Yue Kingdom. A look can make a monk's magic power freeze... This Ning Hei Mo is indeed as mysterious and powerful as the rumors say!
All the people who took a look at Ning Cheng secretly collected their thoughts.
Afterwards, Ning Heimo summoned the commanders of Ningcheng's four guards...Nangong, Yuchi, Nanyangzi and Lu Nanzi.
Under the influence of the elixir, Lu Nanzi has become a half-step golden elixir monk, not far away from forming an elixir! And Nanyangzi also successfully broke through the middle stage of Jindan and became a well-known figure in the Yue Kingdom...
The two of them looked at Ning Hei Mo with fiery eyes. They knew that all this was thanks to the Black Demon City Lord in front of them!
After being captured before, the two of them were almost in despair, but later, after discovering that Ning Heimo was a fourth-level alchemist, the two of them became desperate and hoped for happiness. They looked forward to following Ning Heimo and having a bright future. . Afterwards, Ning Heimo did not disappoint the two of them. A large number of pills made the two of them improve greatly.
They have become convinced that becoming slaves of the dark devil is not a sin for them, but an opportunity!
It's just that they haven't seen the Black Demon City Lord for a long time. Now that Ning Hei Demon is "out of seclusion", when the two of them face him, they feel like ants facing the sky.
Half a step of Nascent Soul cultivation is not enough to bring about this feeling... That feeling is as if the Ning Hei Demon in front of me is not a human being, but an earth-shaking rain that defies the sky!
The two looked away in shock, lowered their heads, and clasped their fists respectfully.
"I've met the city lord!"
"Yeah." Ning Heimo just responded with a hoarse voice.
"The country of Yue has not been at peace recently. The four guards of Ningcheng have stepped up their training. All affairs have been temporarily suspended. Later, I will pass down the new formation..."
Ning Heimo's tone was serious, and none of the experts present dared to express their anger. Only the little paper crane on the side pursed his lips and snickered.
Brother Fan, how serious and serious he is is really interesting...
"Sisi, do you think so?" Zhihe asked in a low voice.
"I don't know..." Si Wuxie was confused. More and more memories came to her mind, making it difficult for her to make a choice.
The conversation in the main hall was a bit boring for Zhihe.
'Ning Hei Mo' only made adjustments to the formations and training of Ning Cheng's four guards.
At the same time, he gave guidance on the cultivation of the four people's techniques. Even Nangong gained great insights under the guidance of Ning Heimo.
After the discussion was over, Lu Nanzi suddenly showed a hesitant look.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell Ning Heimo about the matter to show his loyalty.
"I have something I want to report to the city lord..."
"explain."
"It has been half a year since Ningcheng's fire veins were opened. Now, fire maple fruits are growing one after another. They can be sold for a lot of money, but it requires a special birth secret method to give birth to... I would like to be the city lord and plant the seeds. This is the result..." Lu Nanzi said respectfully.
"Fire maple fruit? I've heard of this fruit. It seems to be expensive, but... right now, it doesn't seem to be the time to plant fire maple fruit... But I'll try to cultivate this fruit in the future..." Nangong stood aside. , quite doubtful.
He had heard of the name of Fire Maple Fruit, which monks could swallow to improve their body refining skills, but the effect was not obvious. Although the price was not bad, Ningcheng was not short of money nowadays...
Nangong was worried because he learned from Ning Fan that there would be a war in less than three months!
It may be two months, or it may be longer than March, it depends on the time when the leader of Tiandao Sect comes out of seclusion... But there is a war in Ningcheng, and the main thing is to prepare for the war with all our strength. Planting Fire Maple Fruit at this moment is a bit of a waste of time...
Nangong's suggestion was extremely pertinent, and after hearing this, Lu Nanzi suddenly looked disappointed.
The Lu family once made a fortune from the Fire Maple Fruit, but he was somewhat regretful that the Fire Maple Fruit could not be produced.
But Nangong's voice in Ning Cheng was only lower than that of Ning Heimo and Ning Fan, so he did not dare to refute.
However, his words did not arouse Nangong's interest, but made Ning Heimo beside him look quite surprised.
"Fire Maple Fruit? Are you really able to induce this fruit?"
"Well, the Lord of the City needs this fruit? If so, this season is when the Fire Maple Fruit is born. In just three days, my subordinates will lead the Nanlou Guards and use secret techniques to produce a large number of Fire Maple Fruit."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you! I need fire maple fruits, the more the better!"
Ning Hei Mo, no, Ning Fan, his eyes flashed!
Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng would unexpectedly harvest the Fire Maple Fruit... The ancient elixir scroll that Xue Qing gave him recorded an elixir called Huangjin Dan.
The third-level elixir, the Yellow Turban Pill! This elixir was the secret medicine for body refining of the Yellow Turban Warriors in ancient heaven. Even in ancient times, not many people knew about it.
The refining of this elixir requires several ancient elixir refining techniques. Not to mention that without the Fire Maple Fruit, even if there were, Xue Qing and others would not be able to refine it.
But Ning Fan knew those alchemy techniques, and now, he got the Fire Maple Fruit by chance.
Outside Ningcheng is where the Fire Maple Fruit grows. This kind of chance coincidence is not God's will, but luck!
Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly. The monks had luck, which was ethereal and invisible. It was said that there were gods and demons in ancient times who could change their luck. If you have good luck, you will encounter treasures everywhere; if you have bad luck, you will encounter difficulties everywhere.
Those with the best luck were naturally the giants of ancient times. The person with the worst luck, the most famous one in ancient times, was named Shen Gongbao... let’s not mention this for now. What is worth mentioning is the Yellow Turban Pill.
This elixir is not as effective as the Jade Emperor elixir, but if there are a large number of Fire Maple Fruits, Ning Fan can refine a large number of Yellow Turban elixirs. Depending on the quantity, he can enhance his body refining realm!
His body refining realm is at the peak of the sixth realm of silver light. He only needs to break through three more realms to reach the realm of silver bone!
The silver light converges into the bones, the bones are like silver, and the fist shakes the Nascent Soul!
If you can swallow a large amount of Yellow Turban Pills in three months, after three months, even if you are just a white-clothed incarnation, your physical strength alone will be enough to defeat the invading enemy!
Ning Fan's luck is pretty good so far, although there are many people with better luck than him.
Perhaps this luck was attached to the Yin-Yang Lock and once belonged to the Luangu Emperor, but was inherited by Ning Fan.
