Qimei City, the last night.
Ning Fan and Zhihe sat under the grape vines, lying on the wicker chairs, looking at the moonlight side by side.
Tomorrow, Ning Fan will leave, but he is not going to take away Zhihe.
"Why don't you take me there? Because I'm too weak and not worthy of you?" Zhi He gently leaned his head on Ning Fan's shoulder.
"No...it's because I'm too weak to protect you..." Ning Fan blamed himself.
"Brother Fan, you are not weak, you are more powerful than everyone Zhihe has ever seen..." Little Zhihe gently pressed Ning Fan's mouth with his smooth hands and comforted him.
The two stopped talking and leaned their heads together again, watching the moonlight shine down.
Zhihe is not suitable for practicing Taoism, even though she has the best natural charm and a cultivation speed that even Ning Fan can't envy. But in the world of cultivation, one does not have to be talented to survive... Many demon lords may not have good qualifications, but they have been able to climb up step by step with their ruthless and cunning character. With Zhihe's naivety, she would be in danger even if she faced a monk whose cultivation level was far lower than hers.
She is not suitable for practicing Taoism. Even if one day she makes great progress in cultivation and breaks through to become an immortal, she is still not suitable.
Ning Fan could also take the paper crane with him and hone his indifferent personality in the sea of blood, but he didn't want to...
Ning Gu didn't want to kill anyone, so he promised Ning Gu an ordinary life.
Zhihe doesn't want to kill anyone, but he will also promise Zhihe a peaceful and joyful path to Taoism.
Zhihe is not wrong, only the times are wrong... In the farthest ancient times, there were many weapon refiners. At that time, it was said that the fairy world was peaceful, and there were no killings and fights at all... Zhihe should live in that era, and live in that era. A love story between immortals and a great story...
The Yue Kingdom is just a lower-level cultivation country, and it doesn't even have a real Nascent Soul master... Ning Fan doesn't count, and Jing Zhuo only counts half of it.
But in the more powerful intermediate cultivation countries, the Yuanying old monsters there are just like the Jindan old monsters in the Yue Kingdom. Although there are not many, they are not less.
There are even old monsters who transform into gods in the superior cultivation country... As for the destination of Ning Fan's trip, the Endless Sea, it is a place where monks from the superior cultivation country must be careful when entering it.
The endless sea, people call it, repair the grave! The grave of the monks! No one cares about killing people there, even Yudian can't interfere... There is no distinction between the righteous demon sects, only the strong and the weak. There, there are their own rules of survival... If Ning Fan walks alone and encounters danger, he can escape for his life, but if he takes the paper crane with him, if something happens to the paper crane, Ning Fan will regret his life.
Zhihe was the first woman to enter his heart. That steamed bun and jade lock saved Ning Fan's life and brought him a different life.
Under the moonlight, Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly, and the fragrance of paper cranes lingered in his nose...
Hehuan Sect, scenes of meeting each other appeared before our eyes.
Zhihe is an ordinary girl. She yearns for the ordinary, doesn't like fighting, and has a pure mind. She has no special skills, but she is the one who understands Ning Fan best among all the women.
She understands Ning Fan's gentleness, understands Ning Fan's helplessness, and knows that Ning Fan, like her, actually doesn't like to fight...
In Ning Fan's heart, he has the complacency of Zhihe, but fate forces him to meet the old demon and embark on a path of cultivating demons from which there is no turning back.
Take half of Zhihe's character, take another half of Old Demon's character...that's Ning Fan today!
"That...Brother Fan..." Zhihe had big eyes and had something to say.
"Um?"
"When you come back from the Endless Sea, will you bring me a lily of the valley?" Zhihe begged.
"Lily of the valley? Doesn't this kind of orchid exist in Yue?" Ning Fan said in surprise.
"It's different... I heard that the orchid grass in the Endless Sea can make a sound like wind chimes when the wind blows. It's very nice... When I hear that sound, I know that you are back..." Zhihe said stupidly Then, he fell asleep in Ning Fan's arms.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, silently remembered this silly girl's silly wish.
Lily of the valley is just an extremely ordinary mortal flower in the endless sea... The wish of the paper crane is very simple, so simple that it makes people pity.
Paper cranes cannot go to the Endless Sea because the Endless Sea has endless dangers. That is the origin of the word "Endless".
As for Ningcheng, it was Ning Fan's home, and there needed to be people in the family who were looking forward to his return.
It may take ten years, dozens of years, or even a hundred years to go to the Endless Sea.
This waiting may be torture, but this is the life of a monk. Even for a Taoist couple, when the husband goes into seclusion, the wife may not be able to see him for decades.
A monk has the helplessness of a monk. Even a true immortal cannot be free.
"A lily of the valley... I remember it."
...
Outside Qimei City, a magnificent ship is approaching.
Under the boat, Patriarch Jingzhuo and Ning Fan said goodbye to their relatives and friends, and to the Yue monks who were seeing them off.
Most of the visitors were monks from the Huoyun and Guique sects, and people from other sects also came to watch, but obviously they were not as enthusiastic as the monks from the second sect.
Nangong, Situ, Yuchi, the four Qimei tribes, and the four guards of Ningcheng.
Gui Quezi, Xue Qing, Nan Wei, and even Yan Zhuiyun, who had had friction with Ning Fan, Bai Feiteng, and Yan Bai, who had some resentment.
To say goodbye to these people, a few words of advice and pleasantries are enough.
But saying goodbye to Lan Mei and other girls made Ning Fan a little reluctant to leave.
"Ning Fan, take this piece of fairy jade... I asked for it from my father..." Lan Mei stuffed a bulging storage bag into Ning Fan's arms rather resentfully.
And Ning Fan swept away his mind and suddenly looked surprised... Three hundred thousand immortal jade... This is probably all Gui Quezi's base. I'm afraid that in Gui Que Sect, Lan Mei must have dug three feet into the ground to get it. To these fairy jade.
"In the Endless Sea's Lost World Tower, if you start practicing, it can't be exaggerated to say that a thousand gold pieces of gold a day can't be exaggerated... When you go out... don't be reluctant to spend money..." Lan Mei asked... I'm sorry for Ning Fan not taking her with him. , she was quite resentful, but still extremely worried about Ning Fan's safety.
Of course, she was also slightly worried about whether Ning Fan, with his playful temperament, would flirt with women outside...
Lan Mei and Ning Fan are related to each other. This matter is not a secret to many Yue monks.
The farewell gift was three hundred thousand immortal jade... Even the ancestors such as Jing Zhuo were extremely envious of Ning Fan's luck. The State of Yue was afraid that it would be difficult to find another good wife, so she waved her hand and spent 300,000 immortal jade on her husband...
The egret also came, but did not come forward to talk to Ning Fan, and only watched Ning Fan leave from a distance.
When Ning Fan saw that insignificant figure among the crowd, he smiled at him. Immediately, the egret's beautiful eyebrows trembled, and he turned his back to take another look at his expression.
"Be careful on the road..." She finally said this.
"You too, practice hard, and when I come back, you might have a chance to kill me." Ning Fan teased back.
"Hmph! Do you think I can't do it? Just wait. When you come back, I will definitely improve my cultivation and surprise you!" Bailu said dissatisfied.
"Well, I'll wait."
...
After saying goodbye, Ning Fan and Jing Zhuo received many generous gifts from old monsters and took a boat to the north.
On the boat, there were even twenty delicate maidservants given to Ning Fan by the ancestor of the Seizing Body Sect... Actually, they were originally given to Ning Fan as a cauldron, but as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, Ning Fan No matter how short the cauldron is, it will not bring harm to these female cultivators from the Yue Kingdom. Moreover, these female cultivators have good looks, but their cultivation is only at the fourth or fifth level of Pulmonary Pulse. After harvesting it, it will not be of much use...
I'd rather just be a maid... Didn't you see that Lan Mei and the other girls' faces looked a little ugly?
And among the twenty maids, Ning Fan recognized an acquaintance at a glance, but did not reveal it.
These maids were only responsible for serving tea and water on the boat. Ning Fan did not issue an order to share the same bed, which made the maids secretly relieved.
In addition, Ning Fan did not know how to conjure ice spirits, moon spirits, etc., a total of seventeen female cultivators.
Among these female cultivators, except for the two golden elixir cultivators, some other women even volunteered to serve Ning Fan on the mat... As for whether Ning Fan agreed or not, these maids did not know.
The building ship had been flying for several days, far away from Ningcheng, and heading towards the northern border of Yue Kingdom. At this moment, Ning Fan suddenly summoned the maids and said meaningfully to one of the female cultivators,
"Fairy Suqiu left without saying goodbye that day. Ning thought that she would never see the fairy again in this life, but she never thought that the dignified Fairy Suqiu would come to my ship and become a slave through the introduction of Ancestor Duoshe..."
The acquaintance Ning Fan recognized at a glance was Fairy Suqiu, and she actually got into the building.
After her identity was discovered, Su Qiu immediately figured out the art of disguise and smiled lightly.
"It makes Ning Zun laugh. I have no sect now, but I want to join a friend's sect in the Endless Sea... But all my immortal jade has been left to the Taixu sect. Now I am penniless and alone. However, it is difficult for me to reach the Endless Sea despite my strength, so I want to come and seek refuge with Ning Zun... Why, Ning Zun, the dignified person, don’t you want me to go with you?”
"No, I'm just a little flattered... Fairy Su Qiu got on my pirate ship. It won't be easy to get off." Ning Fan said with a smile.
"Pirate ship..."
Hearing Ning Fan's joke, even Su Qiu's face was full of seriousness, and she couldn't help but laugh. Is there anyone in the world who calls himself a thief?
But when she thought of Ning Fan's metaphor, it was quite ambiguous, and Su Qiu recalled the fragrant detoxification that day, her heart trembled slightly, and she immediately looked away.
"I am no longer the ancestor of Taixu Sect, nor Fairy Suqiu. From today on, just call me Taoist Fellow Yin..." Suqiu sighed slightly as if she was troubled, but this sigh was immediately laughed at by Ning Fan. Sweep away the boredom.
"Can I call you Suqiu?"
"not good!"
"Okay, you win... Fellow Daoist Yin, since you came to my building and asked me to take you to the Endless Sea, then let's calculate the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way..." Ning Fan pretended to be serious. .
"Ah? I have to charge money to ride on your boat..." Su Qiu was a little at a loss. She left the fairy jade to the sect in an upright manner, but she had no money to give to Ning Fan.
"I heard that Fairy Su Qiu's flute sound is extremely clear, and paired with Xuan Gong, it is even enough to cleanse the inner demons of monks... If the fairy is willing to occasionally play a piece of music for Ning on the boat, then the boat fee will be forfeited. ..”
"Do you want to hear me play the flute... Of course that's possible. It would be great if you can pay the ship fare with just the sound of the flute." Su Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Ning Fan would collect money from her.
In the Yue Kingdom, she is now considered to have no relatives, but when she was young, she followed her master into the Endless Sea, and made a friend of a female cultivator in the Endless Sea... That person had extraordinary talents and was not weak in Su Qiu. I heard that Now he is the head of a sect...
The Taixu Sect's ruthlessness made her unwilling to stay in Yue Country any longer. It was better to go to the Endless Sea.
In contrast, although Ning Fan was a demon cultivator and his ruthless methods made Su Qiu quite displeased, he was more humane than the two senior brothers from Taixu Sect. Going to the Endless Sea, the Ancient Teleportation Formation of the Jin Dynasty, and the Sky-Escape Boat of the Ying Kingdom all cost extremely expensive immortal jade. Ning Fan was willing to pay for this money, so she was secretly grateful. The matter of playing the flute, It seems insignificant...
Su Qiu didn't know that the reason why Ning Fan offered to collect the money was just to make this woman feel at ease.
This woman's personality is too stubborn, and she definitely doesn't want to receive favors in vain. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately acted as a maid and hidden herself on the Qimeilou boat.
Playing the flute will pay off the ship's fare, so that this woman will feel at ease because she does not owe Ning Fan any favors.
With this woman accompanying him, Ning Fan would have to spend more than 100,000 yuan of immortal jade, but compared to the favor this woman had shown Ning Cheng, a mere amount of fairy jade was insignificant.
This woman seems to have broken the magic weapon of the Water Ring for Ning Cheng. Now that the woman is on the ship, Ning Fan is willing to refine a new ring treasure for her in return.
"This woman is good at using ring treasures... In the ancient memories, there is a powerful fairy ring treasure called 'Qiankun Circle'... I can't refine this treasure, but if I just imitate it, I should be able to Refining a magic weapon that is more advanced than the water-like ring and giving it back to this girl..." Ning Fan thought to himself.
In this way, on the Qimei Tower Ship, in addition to the two masters Ning Fan and Jing Zhuo, Su Qiu once again joined the journey.
As for the reason why Su Qiu joined, Ning Fan told Jing Zhuo, but Jing Zhuo didn't believe it at all.
He looked at Ning Fan with a hint of admiration. What he admired was that Ning Fan had even stolen Su Qiu's heart. What a talent. Otherwise, why didn't Su Qiu board someone else's ship but boarded Ning Fan's pirate ship?
This was a huge misunderstanding, Jing Zhuo kept it in his heart, and Ning Fan didn't explain it at all.
The road to the North Vietnam Locked World was relatively uneventful. Except for the occasional monk who boarded the ship to see everyone off, everyone was living their own lives.
Jing Zhuo and Mrs. Yunhua were like a couple of gods and immortals, playing chess and planting flowers, so uncomfortable.
Ning Fan and Su Qiu also practiced separately, but every day, when the sun was about to set, Ning Fan would stand on the bow of the boat, bathing in the long wind. Behind him, Su Qiu played the flute gracefully, and the sound seemed to be able to clear the air. Cleanse Ningfan's inner demons...
Living like this, half a month later, the building boat finally sailed to the lock border of North Vietnam, left Vietnam, and entered the Song Dynasty in the north of Yue Kingdom.
The movement of the Qimei Tower Ship was not small, but it was not big either. After all, there were not many monks on the ship, so it should not be hostile to the Song Dynasty.
However, as soon as the building boat sailed into the Suojie of the Song Dynasty, it immediately attracted a group of monks guarding the Suojie of the Southern Song Dynasty, and their expressions were unprecedentedly wary.
There were even three old monsters in the late Jindan stage. After receiving the alarm from the border guard monks, they immediately rushed to the lock world and stopped the Qimeilou ship.
"Who is here! Is he with the 'Red Flower Old Demon'!"
The three old monsters in the late Jindan stage seemed to be righteous monks. They immediately showed hostility as soon as they sensed the unusual demonic aura of Qimeilou Ship.
One of the old men in sackcloth was so angry that he almost attacked the building ship directly.
"If the owner of this ship doesn't come to see me within ten breaths, don't blame me for destroying the ship!" The old man in linen clothes had blood red eyes with hatred.
This incident made Ning Fan, Jing Zhuo, and Su Qiu extremely surprised.
The Song Dynasty seems to be in an extraordinary period... Otherwise, a mere ship entering the country will definitely not attract three old monsters in the late Jindan stage to come all the way to ask questions...
"Two fellow Taoists, please take a break again. Don't show your face, so as not to make these 'frightened birds' even more afraid...Bing Ling, Yue Ling, follow me to see what the three old men are doing outside."
Ning Fan smiled and took the ice spirit and moon spirit with him and leisurely walked out of the building ship.
"I am the owner of the ship. I wonder why the three Taoist friends from the Song Dynasty stopped my ship? I have nothing to do with the 'Red Flower Old Demon' you are talking about..."
Ning Fan was only able to integrate spirits, but behind him, there were two golden elixir women guarding him, and those two women seemed to be following Ning Fan.
This battle actually made the three Song Jindans a little surprised.
"The owner of this ship is just a junior from Fusion Spirit? But what is the background of this junior? He actually has two Jindan women as concubines..."
(I sweat when I see the update ticket... Do you blame me for being slow in updating? Recently, I wrote the ending of the story before the elixir formation and leaving the country of Yue, very carefully and slowly. I was afraid of missing something, so I often wrote it. Changed again, it’s really not suitable for an explosion... Sorry, I owe you 13 updates, I still remember... It’s too early to die again, it’s written into chapter 149, has been corrected)
