Several other people had already been moved. Seeing that Chen Tian was silent and said nothing, they happily followed Min Luo.
Zhao Ning hadn't been to Gui Yuancheng for a long time. She fell behind the team and saw that the city was as lively as ever, with people coming and going, shouting and selling.
But compared with before, this robe of an outer disciple of the Qingxiao Sect has received countless envious looks along the way.
There was rarely anyone competing in the central arena, and many people gathered below the arena to watch.
"The champion is so miserable, it feels like he is being beaten." Guo Ying'er muttered.
"The challenger only defends but does not attack. He must have a plan. Seeing that they are both in the middle stage of Qi training, I am afraid they want to use this opportunity to strengthen their bodies." Minluo took a look at it and lost interest. "There are many people here. It’s very messy, go to Baiwei Tower to see it. I remember there is a private room with a great view.”
After everyone followed them for two steps, Zhao Ning heard someone calling her from behind.
"little fairy!"
Turning around, this familiar voice turned out to be the stall owner who was selling the ore. The stall owner smiled and held his hand in the distance.
Zhao Ning, Minluo and others motioned for them to go up first.
Walking not far away from the stall owner, the stall owner immediately came over and said, "Oh, little fairy, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become an elite of the Qingxiao Sect. I am very happy to congratulate you."
"Thank you stall owner." Zhao Ning responded with a smile. She glanced at his stall out of habit and saw that the stall was full of materials for drawing talisman. "Did the stall owner change his business again?"
But the stall owner let out a long sigh, "This is not what I want. If you ask me, I'd rather sell the ore as I wish. There is no need to remember the messy talisman rituals, poor materials, etc."
"I heard that the new secret realm in Qianren Mountains has stabilized. Why are there still restrictions on mining by casual cultivators?"
"That's not true. There was something wrong with the last batch of mines. It was because the sand mines couldn't be forged. But I've been mining for decades and encountered this problem. I was unlucky enough to be chased by a few people to fix it. I said , if you sell mines every time within three years." The stall owner quickly added, "The batch of mines that the little fairy bought last time was also placer. Don't be angry. I am also ignorant. I have some left here. Ore, supply the little fairy.”
Zhao Ning was at a loss for a moment before she realized that she had indeed bought another batch of ores from the stall owner. Later, she entered Lingwu Forest and forgot about those ores.
This stall owner was sincere. She took the stall owner's storage bag with a smile and transferred the ore inside to her own storage bag. The stall owner chuckled and said, "The little fairy is a big customer. You must not let the little fairy misunderstand." I am a profiteer."
"The stall owner is kind. I don't know what to call him?"
"Hey, there's no such thing as a smart businessman." The stall owner cupped his hands and said, "A certain family's surname is He, and their last name is Jie. The little fairy has to take care of a certain business."
"Shen Zhao Ning." Zhao Ning responded and said frankly, "I'm not good at this talisman. If the stall owner has black iron ore, black iron ore, he can sell it to me."
The stall owner's eyes lit up. These materials are rarer than the previous iron essence and heptyl silver ore, so they are naturally more expensive. This is a big business!
He cleverly congratulated him again and again, "The little fairy's weapon-refining strength is progressing very fast. In just a few months, he can forge more heavy spiritual weapons. Look at this, I will dig the spiritual ore from Qianren Mountain later. Is it okay to go to the Qingxiao Sect’s Guiyuan City agency to summon Little Fairy?”
Zhao Ning nodded, and then heard the noise around him get louder by three points. Then he saw the champion on the ring activating a talisman, and a golden light curtain blocked his face, directly blocking the opponent's killing move half an inch away, and even blocked the opponent's killing move. People were knocked out of the ring.
The challenger was furious, "Fellow Taoist promised not to use any killing moves! How come I have passed so many moves in your hands at the fourth level of Qi training? Do you think you have no face and want to kill me?"
The onlookers also criticized him.
Zhao Ning's gaze fell on the light curtain that had not completely dissipated.
Golden light talisman? The effect of this kind of talisman is weak, with almost negligible defensive power, but it is usually used to blindly escape, but this talisman is strong enough to withstand a blow from the sixth level of Qi training. Could it be another internal rumor in Qingxiao Sect? The best talisman?
I remembered that the stall owner He had switched to the talisman business, and when I glanced around, I saw that almost all the stalls were selling some materials for making talismans.
"A lot of people are buying materials for making talismans recently?" Zhao Ning asked He Jie.
He Jie nodded without hesitation, "That's not much. Almost all the casual cultivators who have returned to Yuancheng are trying to make talismans. Does the little fairy know that there is a kind of top-quality talisman that has been circulated recently, which does not require mysterious ancient cloud patterns? Increase the power of the talisman by several percent."
Zhao Ning was surprised when he heard He Jie say mysteriously, "There are a few tips on how to make it in the dark market. How can we hide this thing? All the casual cultivators in Guiyuan City know about it in a flash."
Zhao Ning still remembered the terrifying aspects of the explosive flame talisman. Even if she didn't need the best spiritual talisman, she still needed to know herself and the enemy to avoid being caught off guard.
"Is this refining method available on the dark market?"
"I heard rumors that the auction will be held in half a month!"
Zhao Ning was disappointed. She was going to Lingwu Forest soon, and it would take at least a month to go back and forth. She seemed to have no connection with this thing, but she politely thanked her.
Because of the episode just now, no new challenger came up for a while. The crowd gradually dispersed, too lazy to wait. Zhao Ning bowed her hands to He Jie, said goodbye, and turned back to Baiwei Tower.
The waiter immediately came up to Zhao Ning and explained the situation. The waiter led Zhao Ning to the private room on the second floor.
On the second floor, screens were used to separate closed spaces. No one was seen, but sounds came from behind the screens.
Before reaching Minluo, Zhao Ning heard a familiar voice again.
"I haven't been to Guiyuancheng for a long time, I just wanted to come and have a look."
The voice was very calm, but it was Ye Ziying's voice.
"Ziying, don't be angry." The young male voice explained, "I don't think I feel that since the Golden Elixir Ceremony has been coming and going for nearly a hundred days, I am really tired and my cultivation has been delayed. I want to go to the Luoxia Sect as soon as possible."
"Please go back, I have to go...Zhao Ning!" Ye Ziying's tone was impatient at first, but she didn't expect that she saw Zhao Ning's figure from the gap between the two screens, and her voice immediately raised, with a Indescribable excitement.
Zhao Ning stopped and turned around to see Ye Ziying running over in a few steps, with a smile on her face that was kinder than Guo Ying'er and sweeter than Yun Jinfan.
She opened her arms with great enthusiasm to hug Zhao Ning, but Zhao Ning avoided her, so she hugged Zhao Ning's right arm instead.
"Sister Zhao Ning, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. I heard that you entered the outer gate of Qingxiao Sect, and I was thinking about whether I could go to Qingxiao Sect to visit you!" She spoke in a friendly manner, as she had not seen a good sister for many years. His tone was as if the chaos in Lingwu Forest a few months ago had never happened.
Zhao Ning withdrew her arm, smiling lightly and distantly, "Unfortunately, I have to go out to do sect tasks in the near future, and may not be in the sect for a long time."
Ye Ziying's face stiffened, she bit her lip and lowered her head, "Sister Zhao Ning, are you still angry with me? I was really... really unconscious at that time... I..."
Zhao Ning raised her head and looked behind her. Ye Ziying paused, and another person in the screen compartment came out.
The man had a high level of cultivation, but he nodded politely towards Zhao Ning, "I am Su Maoyan of the Luoxia Sect."
"Shen Zhaoning, an outer disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, pays homage to the senior." Zhao Ning bowed before him. Su Maoyan's cultivation level and coercion were on par with Wu Hanhai's. They were both at the foundation-building level. "Uncle Su came from the Golden Elixir Ceremony of the Yuhua Sect. ?”
"Exactly. Master Ping Qiuzi succeeded in attacking high-grade golden elixirs in just sixty years. He is a role model for us." He looked at Zhao Ning. After all, Zhao Ning belonged to the Qingxiao Sect, so he still had to say something in the scene, "The next impact is The person with the highest grade golden elixir is probably the leader of your sect Qin. Seeing the shock of spiritual pressure all over the head of Qin, I am afraid he is already halfway to the golden elixir."
Zhao Ning was slightly stunned. She rarely felt the terrifying pressure from Senior Qin. The last time Kong Zhaoshan saw Senior Qin, his aura was also restrained.
"The first master's uncle went to congratulate him with gifts, but he has not returned yet. His cultivation is not for us and other disciples to pry into."
"Oh, by the way." Su Maoyan seemed to remember something, "Something happened to Ping Qiuzi's precious disciple, and he left the head of your family alone. It's normal that he hasn't come back yet."
"What did he do?" Ye Ziying interrupted their exchange with dissatisfaction and looked at Zhao Ning intently, with even some pleading in her eyes.
"Sister Zhao Ning, don't separate us because of the past. We are friends who share weal and woe." She looked at Su Maoyan again, her eyes bright, "Brother Yan, I heard that the scenery of Qingxiao Sect is the same as the sunset. Zongda is different, can we go to Qingxiao Sect to visit the two of them."
Zhao Ning had some doubts in her heart. She felt that Ye Ziying was too impatient and wanted to repair the relationship with her and go to Qingxiao Sect, which Zhao Ning couldn't handle.
He spoke before Su Maoyan, "I heard that Ping Qiuzi's Golden Elixir Ceremony also lasted for seven days. I think it will be very beneficial to Master Su's foundation-building practice."
"It's natural. What Master Ping Qiuzi thinks and understands is beyond my reach. I need to think about it carefully." He couldn't wait to think about it. He looked at Ye Ziying apologetically, "Ziying, since Miss Shen is involved in affairs, it's better to Let’s find another time.”
"Can……"
Ye Ziying wanted to say something else, but Zhao Ning had already handed Su Maoyan goodbye.
Chapter 078
Half a month later, everyone passed through the Lingwu Forest.
Zhao Ning and Chen Tian were already outside the forest. They both looked into the forest with helpless expressions. The others had not come out yet.
After a long while, Minluo and the others walked out laughing, looking back from time to time. After a while, Guo Ying'er came out carrying the little tiger cat in a state of embarrassment. One person and one cat were all in a state of thunder and lightning.
Mingluo teased, "Junior sister Guo, you little tiger cat is very powerful. It specializes in finding monsters that are not easy to mess with. Your thunder control skills are also top-notch!"
Guo Ying'er was so angry that she blew her nose and stared, and spit out a mouthful of black smoke.
Mingluo spoke sarcastically. The little tiger cat is very active in the Spirit Mist Forest. Fortunately, the monsters in this area of the Spirit Mist Forest are not very strong, and Zhao Ning leads the way to avoid areas where high-level monsters are entrenched. Everyone should practice their spells.
There are all kinds of spells, and this little tiger cat is also gearing up. He wants to show off his ability to control thunder, so he finds some powerful monsters to challenge him. Although he does not hit his master again, there are trees everywhere, and he hits the trees next to his master. Following the disaster, Guo Ying'er was in such a state of rage.
The little tiger cat curled up and held its head with its two little paws, pretending to be dead. Guo Ying'er was angry and funny, "If you don't obey me, I will throw you into the spirit beast collar!"
The spirit beast collar is not easy to stay in. The whole beast is in a hazy state, almost dizzy but not dizzy. The little guy struggles to express his unwillingness.
Guo Ying'er didn't want to keep her pet away unless necessary. She took the little tiger cat back into her arms, pinched it with a Qingchen Jue, and walked towards the crowd with a fresh look.
"Senior Sister Ming, please stop laughing at me. Go pick them up quickly."
The vegetation around the Lingwu Forest is still dense, and ordinary people dare not go deep into it. According to Mingluo, this group of mortals usually wait in the small town outside the forest.
After communicating with them along the way, Zhao Ning realized that it was unusual for him to directly enter the world of cultivation with Immortal Master Baiyun. Most of them were disciples with fake names. Counting the time to receive the guidance mission every year, they waited in the west of Lingwu Forest. Waiting for the team of disciples from the sect to arrive, and then bringing them in together.
Mingluo sent out a signal as soon as he came out of Lingwu Forest.
The group was chatting and making trouble, and after walking for half a cup of tea, they saw a group of people waiting outside the town in the distance. When they saw them coming, the group immediately came forward respectfully and saluted. There was also a man about ten years old among them. The children look very familiar.
"Sister Fairy!"
When Zhao Ning heard him call him such a name, she suddenly remembered, isn't this child the child of the woodcutter in Qiushui Town?
I still remember the little guy introducing himself and saying that his name had a lot of stones in it.
Zhao Ning walked over and squatted in front of him, "Xiao Shi Lei, why are you here?"
Xiao Shi Lei pursed his lips, and his eyes turned red when he looked at Zhao Ning, "My parents don't want me, and my grandparents don't want me either. Little Bao'er has no home, oh oh oh oh."
Zhao Ning thought something had happened and wiped his tears. Just when he was about to ask what happened, the old man in charge of them came closer and bowed to explain.
"Xiangu knows this kid? This kid is used to making people feel bad with his mouth. He hasn't stopped all the way." The old man smiled, and it didn't look like he was lying.
After being exposed, Xiao Shi Lei stopped crying and pulled on Zhao Ning's clothes and pouted.
Zhao Ning stood up and listened to the old man continue to explain, "We passed by Qiushui Town and saw that this child was full of energy, so we thought he was a good candidate. We asked his family if they would like to have the child practice with me. Their family was so happy that they agreed on the spot. , the little guy jumped happily."
The old man's cultivation level is only at the second level of Qi training, but he wears a loose classic Taoist robe, holds a whisk in his hand, has crane hair and a long beard. He looks more celestial than Immortal Master Baiyun. No wonder he is trusted by Xiao Shi Lei's family.
Zhao Ning patted Xiao Shi Lei's head and comforted him, "Didn't Xiao Shi Lei also want to be a god at the beginning? Now he will become a god soon. He should be happy. How can he cry?"
Xiao Shi Lei wrinkled the tip of his nose, "I don't want to be a fairy, I just want to see more fairies as beautiful as Sister Fairy!"
The children's words made everyone laugh. Mingluo came over and said, "You have such a sweet mouth at a young age. So do you think my sister is good-looking?"
Little Shi Lei raised his head, "Good-looking, good-looking, the sisters all look good, little Bao'er is so happy!"
"You little guy, do you know what happiness is?" Mingluo teased, and then looked at Xiao Shi Lei carefully. She had participated in two immortal recruitment orders, and she had a vague estimate in her heart when she saw the fate of immortals. , it does seem to be a fairy tale."
The old man smiled and said, "That's good. I originally thought that if there was no immortal fate, I would accept him as a disciple. It would be their blessing to be able to enter the sect as a little boy first."
Xiao Shi Lei broke away from Min Luo's hand and tugged on the hem of Zhao Ning's skirt, "I want to be with Sister Fairy!"
Everyone thought the little guy was afraid of life and didn't take it to heart. Zhao Ning patted him on the head gently, which was regarded as consent. The next section of the Lingwu Forest was difficult to walk, so he had to protect him for the whole journey.
Mingluo didn't care about Xiao Shilei's choice. Her eyes turned to the carriages behind the crowd. The carriages were piled extremely high and several large boxes were stacked on top of each other.
