When cultivators gain something, they often lose it.
Fasting can prevent hunger, but it also deprives monks of their appetite and the sense of satisfaction after a full stomach.
Killing the red dragon can prevent menstrual troubles, but it will weaken the fertility of female cultivators.
The Yin Zang of Xiangma can deepen Taoism, but it will lose the joy of fish and water.
The higher the resourcefulness and the deeper the city, the harder it is to trust others.
Life is long, almost eternity, but we cannot find happiness in the mortal world.
Ning Fan had long forgotten the feeling of being hungry, but at this moment, he actually felt the urge to eat.
This feeling troubled him, made him confused, and made him nostalgic.
A person with a pure heart and a person whose eyes are blinded by desire see the world differently.
Just like, a man who has been holding back for countless years can forget about it when he suddenly sees a picture of Chun Palace.
But if he releases all his desires, he will enter the realm of a sage with a heart as solid as stone. Looking at this picture again, he will only find it boring.
A monk who has no appetite looks at all living things, mountains, rivers and vegetation as if he were looking at a painting. They can appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers, and understand the great ways of the heavens, but it is difficult for them to truly integrate into them and they can only pass by.
Ning Fan is different.
Now that he had an appetite, he suddenly looked at the vegetation, mountains, rivers, and all creatures differently.
He passed a mountain, a large mountain located south of Quail Tail Palace.
He saw the white deer leaping among the mountains.
His first reaction was not that this white deer was so agile and beautiful, but that he suddenly remembered the past of hunting deer when he was young.
He recalled all the times he went into the mountains to hunt deer as a mortal when he was young, and recalled that once, he chased a deer deep into the mountains. He finally hunted the deer, but unfortunately he got lost in the mountains. It was getting late, and the mountain rain came suddenly. He carried the deer on his thin body and looked around for a place to hide from the rain, and finally found a cave.
Then he lit a bonfire and roasted the venison. Fortunately, he brought a little salt with him, and he also found some honey from the mountains and spread it on the roast...
“Roast venison might be good…”
Ning Fan thought like this.
He never thought that when Ning Fan planned to hunt white deer, those white deer actually had the same idea.
Sensing Ning Fan's arrival, the white deer, which had been jumping happily, became quiet for a moment, and then... each of them rushed towards Ning Fan with a fierce look in their eyes.
Some people think that deer are only vegetarian, but that’s just an illusion. Deer also eat meat. When Ning Fan went hunting in the mountains when he was young, he saw wild deer eating fish, birds and dead rabbits.
The deer in front of them were obviously more aggressive. They even dared to regard those who entered the mountains as prey and take the initiative to attack.
As a result, hundreds of murderous white deer surrounded Ning Fan in the blink of an eye.
The leader of the deer herd is an old deer king.
The Deer King looked at Ning Fan indifferently, as if looking at food. It lowered its head proudly and crashed into Ning Fan with its huge antlers.
The power of one blow was astonishingly powerful as several stars!
Such a terrifying impact was enough to make some Mo Dharma Immortal Lords panic, but it was not enough to make them look sideways.
Ning Fan just pressed the button casually and pinned the approaching deer king to the spot, unable to move.
The Deer King's head was held down by Ning Fan. It wanted to break free, but was shocked to find that Ning Fan was far stronger than itself.
"You are hunting me, and I think you are ready to wake up..."
Ning Fan showed a ruthless expression.
After a while, these white deer were slaughtered one by one by Ning Fan and made into roasted deer.
The Godhead of Wood set up a huge grill.
Hundreds of deer were cut up and placed on the grill.
The magic fire was roasting below, and Ning Fan was busy applying sauce. After a while, the venison was roasted until it was golden brown, and the aroma was overflowing.
Ning Fan took off a piece of roasted venison and tasted it, but in the end he shook his head with regret.
"The venison is not as delicious as the venison of my childhood. It's because the venison is different, or maybe it's because my heart is different..."
Having said that, the amount of venison on the grill was still decreasing rapidly. Ning Fan was very hungry and would not waste the food in front of him.
Within the body, ninety-nine strands of gluttonous power flowed in the stomach.
As the venison was digested and absorbed, at some point, the gluttonous power decreased by one, leaving only ninety-eight. And while the power of gluttony decreased, an even more intense hunger hit Ning Fan's stomach.
"It's weird. I obviously ate so much venison, but instead, I became more and more hungry..." Ning Fan was puzzled, but he didn't delve into the details.
The aroma of barbecue wafts far, far away.
Deep in the mountains, a huge black tiger that had been sleeping for many years opened its eyes at this moment and saliva flowed from its mouth.
It followed the aroma and found it all the way. The moment it saw the venison on the grill, it rushed over desperately.
boom!
A gust of wind passed by, and the black tiger was slapped in the air. He screamed and flew backwards.
"This is my thing, you can't steal it." Ning Fan said calmly.
"Roar!" The black tiger seemed to be angered by Ning Fan's actions.
But after hearing the roar of the black tiger, billowing black wind suddenly blew in the forest. The black wind gathered in the mouth of the black tiger and condensed into a dazzling black wind ball.
Bang!
The wind ball was shot out with a bang, facing Ning Fan directly, and it was almost as powerful as the Immortal King's blow.
Ning Fan didn't even look at the wind ball. He casually rolled up his sleeves and robe, and the wind ball disappeared.
Black Tiger was agitated and finally realized that Ning Fan was not easy to mess with.
At this moment, it didn't dare to snatch Ning Fan's food, so it turned around and wanted to run away.
Ning Fan casually fired a sword light and heard a scream. The black tiger had been nailed to the ground by the Nihai Sword.
So, Ning Fan had more tiger meat on his grill.
The strength of this black tiger is close to that of the Immortal King. The essence contained in its flesh and blood far exceeds that of venison. Once grilled, it almost goes straight into the sky.
Far away, the three Magic Well Birds smelled the smell of tiger meat, and all of them drooled at this moment.
"It smells so good! Brothers, there seems to be something delicious in that direction. Should we go and have a look?" the youngest Mojingniao said excitedly.
"Senior Tansheng sent us here to supervise the construction of the magic well to connect the two realms. We must not leave our posts without permission and don't mess around!" the second eldest Demon Well Bird scolded.
"The old Mo Dan was killed, and the coolies from the four villages who built the magic well here also fled back to their respective villages. Even if we stay here, the magic well will not be built. Occasionally we go out to find blood food, Why not?" The youngest Devil's Well Bird didn't take it seriously, and finally flapped its giant wings alone and flew out of the dark Devil's Well.
"Hmph! My little brother is always so disobedient, and he will get into trouble sooner or later. Big brother, don't talk about him. He never listens to me, but if it were you, you should listen!" said the second child dissatisfied.
"Huhuhu..." The oldest Mojingniao was busy sleeping soundly, as if he didn't care about anything in the outside world.
…
Ning Fan finished eating venison and started eating tiger meat.
I don’t know what kind of black tiger it is. It tastes very fragrant when grilled, but it tastes a little sour in your mouth, which is not very delicious.
Fortunately, Ning Fan was extremely hungry at the moment, so he didn't care whether it was delicious or not, and ate half of the roasted tiger in the blink of an eye.
Strangely enough, after eating the white deer, the gluttonous power in his body was reduced to ninety-eight.
At this moment, after eating the black tiger, the gluttonous power in the body was reduced to ninety-six channels.
Ning Fan didn't know the special significance of the reduction of Taotie power in his body.
All he knew was that the less gluttonous power he had in his body, the hungrier he became. It was really strange.
"This tiger meat is not enough, I need more food..."
Ning Fan was thinking about where to find more food when the sky above his head was suddenly shrouded in shadows and plunged into darkness.
But it turned out that a huge and nutritious Devil's Well Bird had flown here. Its wings spread out, completely blocking the sky above the mountain forest.
The huge killing intent was immediately targeted at Ning Fan.
"Anyone who hunts here without the permission of our Demon Well envoys will be punished by death!" the Demon Well Bird said in a condescending tone.
It flapped its wings, and its sharp feathers flew out like blades, cutting off all the vegetation on the hillside in an instant.
Those feather blades also came towards Ning Fan, but when they got close to Ning Fan, they were blocked by circles of invisible walls.
The invisible wall is not a magical power, it is just the thought released by Ning Fan.
Just a thought can make ordinary attacks unable to get close!
"Hiss! This person actually blocked my Feather Blade Technique just by relying on Taoism!" Mojingniao was startled.
However, the fright only lasted for a moment. The next moment, its eyes became fierce again, and it said coldly, "Bold! How dare you resist the sanction of this messenger!"
It turns out that this magic well bird actually regarded Ning Fan as the local elixir demon, so he had a condescending tone.
"This big bird has a lot of meat, but I don't know if it can satisfy me..." Ning Fan ignored the noise of the Devil's Well Bird and completely regarded the Devil's Well Bird as food delivered to his door.
His eyes were full of memories, and he inadvertently recalled the past of climbing trees and touching birds when he was young...
Mojingniao was angered by Ning Fan's attitude, and his murderous intention increased instantly! However, they saw that the magic well bird was mumbling something, and the fourteen feathers on its wings suddenly changed color, from jet black to red gold, and from red gold to fiery red.
"My lifelong practice is to cultivate the fourteen fire feathers of post-heaven. The fourteen fire feathers come out together. They are comparable to the innate fire. They can burn the sky and the earth. They can burn your Taoist thoughts with ease!"
Tsk tsk tsk!
Fourteen fire feathers turned into fire and flew out, and the world was reflected in red for an instant!
Mojingniao was full of confidence. The power of its attack was comparable to the innate demonic fire. How many people under the Immortal Emperor could catch it? Most of the low-level elixir demons in front of them would be burned to ashes in an instant!
The fire flew closer and closer, and was about to burn in front of Ning Fan. Ning Fan suddenly raised his hand and caught the fire directly in his hand.
Completely ignoring the blazing temperature of the innate demonic fire!
"You burn me with fire, and I will burn you with fire. This is cause and effect..."
Ning Fan opened his mouth and swallowed the fourteen magic well bird fire feathers in his hand.
He vomited again, but spit out a piece of fiery red soil.
The clod of soil seemed ordinary, but once it was lifted into the air, it suddenly turned into an infinite giant.
What kind of clod is this?
This is obviously a whole continent! And it's not an ordinary continent, but a land of fire in the ten realms!
Ning Fan's demonic fire burned blazingly in this land of fire, and with the addition of the land of fire, its power increased several times.
The magic well bird is scared!
From here to the Fire Continent, it feels the unrivaled fire temperature. If it is attacked by this thing, it will definitely be burned to ashes in an instant!
"Among the four village alchemy demons, there is no one as powerful as you! You are not the four village alchemy demons, you are the foreign cultivator who killed Mo Dan!" Mojingniao realized something.
It flaps its wings, grabs the road and flees. How dare it stay here longer, but it can't escape at all.
No matter how far it escapes, an entire continent of fire will always hang above its head.
The Fire Continent finally fell. In desperation, the Demon Well Bird tried its best to block it, but in just a moment, all its feathers were burnt by the Fire Continent. Then, its flesh was roasted bit by bit...
It's not that it's too weak, it's that Ning Fan's skill is too great. He actually used the Ten Realms to the Land of Fire to barbecue. How many people in this world can avoid being roasted to death.
Ning Fan carefully controlled the temperature of the fire, fearing that the temperature would be too high and burn the magic well bird to charcoal.
While grilling, I’m still wondering.
"This bird just said that I killed Mr. Mo Dan. Who was it? This bird may have mistakenly recognized the wrong person..."
Mo Dan Lao was actually the name of the old Dan King of Quaiwei Palace, and his real body was the Ten Turns Stomach and Digestion Pill that Ning Fan had eaten. He was indeed killed by Ning Fan. In this regard, Mojingniao did not wrong Ning Fan.
It's a pity that Ning Fan didn't even ask for the name of a supporting character who wouldn't survive more than half an episode, so how could he know about it? Of course, even if he didn't know, he wouldn't care.
…
"Damn it! The third child's life card is shattered!" Almost at the same time as the younger brother Mojingniao died, the second child Mojingniao let out an angry roar.
The boss of the Demon Well Bird, who had been sleeping soundly, also woke up from his deep sleep, with a sharp cold light rising in his eyes.
"If you dare to kill my brother, I will kill your entire family!" the two Demon Well Birds said through gritted teeth.
Then, the two Magic Well Birds, who lost their minds due to anger, rushed out of the Magic Well and killed Ning Fan.
Then, a lot of fresh roasted bird meat appeared on Ning Fan's grill.
Ning Fan was feasting on the Devil's Well Bird. I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly a wisp of fragrant wind blew by, and a woman in a green skirt fell from the sky.
"Brother Taoist, can you be satisfied just by eating these offal? My name is Nv Luo, would you like to come with me and eat something better..." the woman said with a sweet smile, her voice was extremely pleasant.
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head, and looked at the woman's beautiful face. Finally, his eyes fell on the woman's throat.
There, there seems to be a less obvious Adam's apple.
This is... a man dressed as a woman? ? ?
…
"Senior said he was going to look for food. How come he hasn't come back after being gone for so long? Could it be that senior is staying in the water village tonight..."
Ji Fuyao waited and waited until it got dark, but Ning Fan didn't come back to look for her.
When Ning Fan said he was going to look for food, she subconsciously thought that Ning Fan was going to attend a banquet hosted by the four village alchemy demons.
Ning Fan didn't come back for a long time, so she subconsciously thought that Ning Fan was staying at the home of the alchemy demons tonight.
Ji Fuyao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she thought of Ning Fan hugging the girl from the Dan Demon Clan.
It's not that she is jealous, but she has been hunted down by the Dan Demon Clan too many times, and she deeply hates creatures like the Dan Demon.
She was full of admiration and gratitude for Ning Fan, and regarded Ning Fan as a benefactor. Her benefactor was just looking for pleasure, and he shouldn't have gone to the despicable Dan Demon.
Ning Fan deserves better!
You can't belittle yourself so much, senior!
"No, I have to persuade the seniors not to put all the cats and dogs in the house..."
With a strange mentality, Ji Fuyao came all the way to Shuicun.
After arriving here, Ji Fuyao was surprised to find that there was no banquet at all in Shuicun.
After asking a random alchemy demon, I found out that Ning Fan was not here at all.
"Senior didn't come here, so where did he go to eat?"
Ji Fuyao was wondering when suddenly several alchemy demons who were patrolling outside returned to the water village with happy faces.
"Great joy, great joy! The three magic well birds that have enslaved us for many years have been eliminated! The person who eliminated them is our benefactor Ning Fan!"
"What? My benefactor refused to accept our banquet, but he helped us get rid of the enemy of the Demon Well Bird?"
"The real hero!"
"How did my benefactor kill those three evil birds? Tell me quickly."
"Incredible! My benefactor actually directly sacrificed a land of fire and roasted and ate three evil birds?"
"Where is my benefactor now?"
"It turns out to be in Nanquail Mountain."
"What? Not only the three evil birds, my benefactor also killed the black tiger spirit who had been doing evil for many years?"
"What? Those man-eating deer were also eradicated by our benefactor?"
"I have lived my whole life, and I have never seen a person as chivalrous and righteous as my benefactor!"
"My benefactor has helped us time and time again. Even if he doesn't want to come here for the banquet, we should show his support!"
"Yes! We will move the banquet to Nanquail Mountain. If our benefactor doesn't come, we will come to the door in person. No matter what, we must express our gratitude to our benefactor!"
The alchemy demons carried the wine and food, and the huge team headed straight for Nan Quail Mountain.
Ji Fuyao had no place to look for Ning Fan, so she followed the Dan Demon's team to Nan Quail Mountain.
Unfortunately, when she arrived at Nanquail Mountain, Ning Fan was no longer here.
The bonfire had been extinguished, leaving only the huge blackened grill and the cleanly chewed bones on the ground.
There are deer bones, tiger bones, and giant bird bones. They are all garbage left by Ning Fan here.
In addition, there is a Taoist boy carrying a huge medicine gourd waiting here.
"Hiss, could this person be the Yaotongzi from Lady Nvluo's sect!" Some alchemy demons recognized the boy's identity and bowed down one after another, showing great respect.
The boy's attitude was very indifferent. When he saw all the alchemy demons bowing down, he just said lightly, "Excuse me, get up." Then he ignored these alchemy demons and walked towards Ji Fuyao.
"I've met Mr. Yaotong!" Ji Fuyao saluted the boy.
She was no stranger to Ziwei Arctic Palace, and of course she knew how powerful the medicine boy in front of her was.
Although this person was born as a boy, his cultivation was comparable to that of the ancient emperors, and she could not tolerate her disrespect.
Facing the Alchemy Demon, Yaotongzi had an indifferent expression on his face, but facing Ji Fuyao, this indifferent boy actually managed to squeeze out a smile, "Senior Ning has ordered me to pick up the girl here and take her to Xuanzhu Palace."
"Going to Xuanzhu Palace? Senior Ning asked you to pick me up here?" Ji Fuyao seemed not to believe it.
Every time she entered Ziwei Arctic Palace, she would be chased by the monsters here. She was extremely wary, so she was half-trustful of Yaotongzi's words, but not gullible.
Seeing that Ji Fuyao didn't believe it, Yaotongzi wasn't angry either. He patted his storage bag, took out a bronze mirror, and made a finger gesture into the mirror.
Then, Ning Fan's figure was reflected in the bronze mirror.
At this time, Ning Fan, following a beautiful woman, had left the Quail Tail Palace and entered the eighth palace, the Quail Fire Palace.
The two were chatting happily, but sensing that he was being watched, Ning Fan stopped the conversation and said to Ji Fuyao through the bronze mirror, "I was invited by Taoist friend Nuluo, and I have some things to do. You can follow the medicine." Let’s go to Xuanzhuo Palace together, boy, don’t have any doubts.”
"What a terrifying perception. I can actually detect the peeping of Wushan ancient mirror, and even use it to have a conversation!" Yaotongzi was shocked, and then he was amazed by Ning Fan's perception.
Ji Fuyao was familiar with the Wushan Ancient Mirror, and knew that this ancient mirror was actually the treasure of the owner of Xuanzhuo Palace, Ancestor Nu Luo.
The person speaking in the ancient mirror was undoubtedly Ning Fan, and his aura could not be faked, so the medicine boy in front of her was really sent by Ning Fan to pick her up.
"So, fellow Taoist, would you like to follow me to Xuanzhu Palace?" Yaotongzi asked with a smile.
"Yes." Ji Fuyao naturally wanted to go to Xuanzhu Palace to find Ning Fan.
But she still doesn't understand.
Ning Fan is so good, why should he accept the invitation from Ancestor Nuluo?
Legend has it that the ancestor of Nuluo loves men so much that many of the powerful male demons in Ziwei Arctic Palace have been touched by her...
Could it be that... Ancestor Nuluo fell in love with Senior Ning's beauty, so she invited Senior Ning to Xuanzhu Palace to have sex? ? ?
"How is this possible? How can senior be so casual? He and Nuluo Ancestor have only met once. This, this is too fast..."
Thinking of this, Ji Fuyao felt bad all over, as if the male god in her heart was about to be defiled.
…
Ziwei Arctic Palace, Eighth Palace, Quail Fire Palace.
Ning Fan followed Ancestor Nuluo and flew over the Quail Fire Palace. Countless fire demons in the Quail Fire Palace were alarmed, but they did not dare to stop him.
"The Quail Fire Palace is the territory of the Fire Demon. This place has been the place where Ziwei Zun raised fires since ancient times. It was not until Ziwei Zun passed away that the powerful flames raised here were taken away by Zi Dou Immortal Emperor. Since then, There are only a few inferior flames left here, and over time, the inferior fires transformed into fire demons. These fire demons may seem powerful, but they are actually not worth mentioning." Ancestor Nuluo explained to Ning Fan while leading the way.
Her tone was very contemptuous, and she did not take the Fire Demon of the Quail Fire Palace into her eyes at all. Of course, she was qualified to be so contemptuous.
She is a second-level quasi-sage, with such a level of cultivation, so what if she looks down on a group of fire demons!
"Fellow Taoist said he would take me to find delicious food. I wonder if there is any delicious food in the Quail Fire Palace?" Ning Fan asked.
Being able to communicate with all things, he could sense that the Ancestor Female Luo in front of him had no ill intentions.
He was very curious as to why this nvluo ancestor wanted to find him so well. Did she really just want to help him find food? Or, there is another purpose.
"Gee, there are indeed some delicious things in the Quail Fire Palace. I just wonder if fellow Taoists dare to eat them." Ancestor Nuluo said with a sweet smile.
"Although I'm not picky about food, I don't eat everything." Ning Fan was noncommittal.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, you will definitely like this thing after seeing it. I just don't know how much you can and dare to eat."
Ancestor Nuluo took Ning Fan all the way to the far east of the Quail Fire Palace.
Where you enter is a deserted desert.
Ancestor Nuluo brought Ning Fan to the desert, lifted her lotus feet lightly, and then stepped hard, "Young fire demon boy, come out and see me quickly!"
The tone is strong and cannot be refused! With the power of one step, the entire desert split into two halves, and from the crack, a white-haired fire demon with an angry face flew out.
"What a thief, how dare you..." When the old fire demon saw that it was a foreign cultivator like Ning Fan, he subconsciously showed murderous intent. But when he saw that there was a girl following Ning Fan, his face turned pale with fright. .
"Wanwanwan, junior Long Yansheng has met senior Nuluo! I don't know if senior is here today, but he wants to 'stay overnight'..."
The fire demon named Long Yansheng almost cried when he mentioned the word "stay overnight".
This person is also an Immortal Emperor after all, and he looks like the kind of person who is not afraid of death. Such a person was so scared to the core when facing Nu Luo, it really made Ning Fan curious about what happened between this person and Nu Luo.
"Gee, you are old and beautiful. No matter how hungry I am, I will not find you..." Nu Luo looked at Long Yansheng with contempt, and there was endless pity and regret in her contempt.
I think back then, this Long Yansheng was the most handsome man among the fire demons, but unexpectedly, he was picked up by her a few times, and he turned into this withered and old look. It was really useless!
Long Yansheng, instead of feeling a little bit humiliated after being scolded by the female idol for being old and senile, showed a look of joy, as if he was very happy to not be favored by the female idol.
Once he was in a good mood, a smile appeared on Long Yansheng's face. He looked at Ning Fan. It didn't matter. Only then did he realize that Ning Fan's appearance was so good!
"I understand, I understand. It turns out that senior is not here to stay overnight today, but to stay overnight. Don't worry! Junior will definitely drive away everyone here and not let anyone disturb senior's enjoyment..." Say it, Long Yansheng sympathized again He patted Ning Fan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Serve Senior Nv Luo well. If you really can't hold it any longer, just...just use this..."
The kind-hearted Long Yansheng gave Ning Fan a medicine bottle.
Ning Fan's face suddenly turned dark as his mind swept away.
What's inside the medicine bottle is not a pellet, but a whole bottle of liquid medicine, which is used to moisturize the valley...
"Don't talk nonsense! This girl invited Fellow Daoist Ning to come here to do business! Open the seal quickly, I am going to the Fire Quail Pond!" Nuluo said displeased.
