Wu Zhu's answer confirmed Ning Tao's suspicion that Wu Zhu was not sincere in his business, he was just trying to gain nothing.
Although my batch of criminal cultivators are not worth so much, the Shuzhou Immortal Cultivation Circle explicitly prohibits the buying and selling of innocent cultivators, so these criminal cultivators command such a high premium.
Ning Tao shook his head when he heard this, remained silent, and said, "Senior Brother Rong will wait for Ning Tao for a few days, and then he will take these criminal cultivators away. Ning Tao will bear all their expenses here."
When Wu Zhu heard this, he was quite anxious and hurriedly followed. Finally, he said from time to time: "Eleven million, Junior Brother Ning, it's hard to take away this batch of criminal cultivators of yours, so why not leave it to Senior Brother."
Seeing that Ning Tao was unmoved, he continued to follow Ning Tao and kept increasing the price.
Seeing that Ning Tao was still unmoved, he finally added 15 million spirit stones and said, no more.
Ning Tao felt that it was almost enough after he shouted 14 million spirit stones. After he raised the price again, he said: "Okay, just 15 million spirit stones."
Wu Zhu's face turned red and white when he heard this, and finally he said: "Okay, but I have to pay in three years to deliver."
Ning Tao nodded after hearing this, and the two signed the sales contract. After seeing Wu Zhu sign the contract with some discomfort, he put the contract into his storage bag with satisfaction.
At this time, Wu Zhu said: "Hey, Junior Brother Ning, you are really good at doing business. You can hold a lot of spiritual stones in your pocket in front of the shopkeeper."
Ning Tao smiled slightly when he heard this and replied: "Senior brother, you won't suffer any loss. Although you didn't make any profits in the first three years, after three years, won't all the profits from these criminal cultivation be in your hands?"
Although Wu Zhu wanted to refute, Ning Tao was indeed telling the truth, so he stopped talking.
...
Half a day later, Ning Tao left with the token of mission handover brought by Wu Zhu, but in the direction of Shui Ling Sect.
...
Ten days later, a green stream of light streaked across the sky, attracting the admiration of mortals who saw the light.
But it was Ning Tao who sent Fei Zhou back to the sect.
...
In the past year, after dozens of attempts, Ning Tao finally succeeded in carving out the most basic wooden and ghost seal script in his dantian.
However, the wood-element ghosts that contributed a lot of wood-element ghost energy were still skinny and skinny despite being nourished by the ghosts in Ning Tao's hands.
After torturing the wood ghosts, Ning Tao started to trouble the fire ghosts. Wood made fire, and Ning Tao, who already had experience in carving wood ghost seals, finally got the idea after more than ten attempts.
The last time I tried, I was only one step away from success.
In terms of cultivation, Ning Tao has already reached the mid-eighth level of foundation building, and can successfully reach the eighth level of perfection with just water grinding.
Although there has been progress in other aspects, it is not significant.
A few days later, Ning Tao finally returned to the sect. Two huge black magic vultures were soaring in the sky. Many monks in the sect who knew the magic vultures already knew that Ning Tao, who was out on a mission, had returned to the sect.
Ning Tao, who returned to his sect, felt like a wanderer returning to his hometown with a happy mood, like a fish returning to the water, finding the long-lost sense of belonging.
First, he went to the mission hall to hand over his mission, received a generous mission reward, and then came to Dan Chenzi to prepare to meet his master, but was told that the master was in retreat.
The same is true when you come to Senior Brother Zhang Wuji. Senior Brother Zhang Wuji is in retreat preparing to advance to the Golden Elixir.
The third senior sister Xu Bingqing, the fourth senior brother An Ran, and the fifth senior brother Yang Feng have not returned yet because they went out to explore the remains of the monks.
So Ning Tao found his senior brother Wei Dian and asked for advice on a wave of confusion about the formation, and then returned to the cave where he had been away for a long time.
...
Ning Tao came to his hill and looked at the vibrant elixirs and spiritual plants, feeling inexplicably happy.
He said in his heart that this stone is considered a hard work, and if he can reward him with something when he sees him, he will not be owed his hard work.
Arriving at the Jade Bee hive, the huge hive was full of busy bees. The queen bee inside sensed Ning Tao's arrival and came to Ning Tao surrounded by a group of soldier bees, flying up and down happily.
Ning Tao stretched out his palm and let the head-sized queen bee land on his palm, stroking its tentacles.
...
He took out one-third of the honey from the Jade Bee's hive, returned to the cave, and opened the Luan bird's spiritual beast room. The still egg-shaped Luan bird felt the arrival of Ning Tao, as if it were a child that had not seen its mother for a long time, and trembled. Trembling, echoing Ning Tao.
Feeling the joy of Qingluan Bird brought by the touch of spiritual thoughts, Ning Tao couldn't help but reveal a smile. Perhaps because of the deep blood connection between the two, he and Qingluan Bird felt like father and daughter. .
Ning Tao stretched out his palm and stroked the eggshell of the Luan bird. The eggshell of the Luan bird that was still in the egg trembled slightly, conveying a feeling of comfort.
Ning Tao, who had not used the blood contract technique on the Luan Bird for a long time to deepen the connection between the two, skillfully formed a formation on the ground, and the blood connected. After a moment, the blood mist emitted by the blood formation that exuded red light was breathed by the Luan Bird. Generally, it is absorbed through the eggshell.
...
Lu Dingtian and Han Wuque, who heard that Ning Tao was back, came to Ning Tao's cave to pay their respects. Ning Tao invited them to sit down at the waterside pavilion by the pond.
At this time, both of them have reached the middle level of foundation building, one is on the fourth level and the other is on the fifth level.
Drinking tea and listening to the two of them reporting what happened in the sect in the past two years.
…
After an hour, Yang Song and Pan Yue also came together and saw Ning Tao, who was looking leisurely at this moment.
When Yang Song saw Ning Tao's appearance, he couldn't help but joked: "Brother Ning is really leisurely. How about this mission? I heard that you have made a fortune now and have become a wealthy landlord."
Ning Tao laughed when he heard this: "Brother Yang, it's not about getting rich, it's just a small gain. Aren't you and Panyue both advanced to the foundation building stage? How can I dare to relax?"
...
After a while of pushing cups and changing lamps, spiritual fish wandered leisurely in the pond, birds sang in the sky, and the breeze blew through the green leaves, so happy.
...
On the second day, Ning Tao took the Poman Order given to him by Geng Yuanzi and came to the Poman Palace where he had followed his master Dan Chenzi.
The monk from Poman Temple who was guarding the door of the temple finished the body check and asked Ning Tao to wait for a moment while he arranged for a monk next to him to enter the temple. He didn't know what to do.
After a while, the monk from Poman Palace walked out of the main hall and whispered to another monk.
After hearing the reply, the monk couldn't help but soften his attitude, and led Ning Tao to the hall. When Ning Tao entered the hall, he saw the huge portal in the center of the hall and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
I saw this huge portal, just like the space passage when I first entered the secret realm of the ancient demon gate, shimmering with mysterious vortexes.
Seeing Ning Tao's appearance, the monk from Poman Palace opened his mouth to explain: "Brother Ning, what this leads to is the real location of Poman Palace, and it is connected to a secret realm that is a hundred miles in radius."
Ning Tao was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that the Poman Palace he saw was just a portal. It turned out that there was a cave inside.
Entering the portal with this monk, after the simple dizziness passed, I saw the blue sky, green water, beautiful mountains and handsome peaks. From time to time, there were monks flying with their swords, and the light streaked across the sky.
Feeling the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, Ning Tao couldn't help being shocked. This secret realm with a radius of a hundred miles actually contained richer spiritual energy of heaven and earth than the ancient magic gate secret realm.
Feeling it carefully, you can see that it is close to the peak of the first-order spiritual veins. There are elixirs and herbs everywhere, and the waves of spiritual rice are undulating in the breeze.
Seeing Ning Tao's surprised look, the monk smiled slightly and explained.
"There are countless spiritual veins here, and the whole place is covered by large and small spiritual veins. Although it is not as strong as the fourth-level spiritual veins, it is wider. There are countless monks living in it, which is the foundation of the sect. First, many sects’ golden elixirs come from this world.”
After saying this, he led Ning Tao to fly inward, and after a while he came to a palace that covered the entire mountain peak.
On the way, Ning Tao observed countless mortal villages scattered among them. The appearance of immortal cultivators in the eyes of these mortals did not attract too much attention from them.
The monk introduced it to Ning Tao.
There are hundreds of thousands of mortals living in a small secret realm with a radius of hundreds of miles. These mortals were originally the descendants of the monks of the sect. From generation to generation, there are now hundreds of thousands of them.
And because their parents and fathers are all monks with qualifications for cultivating immortals, and they marry each other, the chance of their offspring having qualifications is much higher than that of the outside world.
Moreover, due to the rich spiritual energy here, the cultivation speed is quite fast and breakthroughs are easier.
However, due to confidentiality reasons, one must take an oath to enter this world and leave the world, so the outside world knows very little about them.
Ning Tao was stunned when he heard this, wondering if he would not be able to go out of bounds.
The monk seemed to have glimpsed Ning Tao's thoughts and said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Ning, don't worry about this. People like you don't need to take the Dao Oath. After all, the Dao Oath will increase your own karma. For a talented disciple like you, the sect will not let you do anything to it. It will have an impact on the future.”
"but......"
Ning Tao was relieved when he heard the previous words, but after hearing the monk's turn, he thought to himself, is there any turning point?
"But you need to find Uncle Jindan to plant a special magic weapon for you. If someone wants to search your soul, your soul will be broken and the information in your soul will not be found."
When Ning Tao heard this, he was even more reluctant, but the monk didn't say anything and led Ning Tao into the palace.
After wandering around, I came to a small courtyard, knocked on the door, and the door creaked open. The monk saw this and said.
"Brother Ning, Senior Uncle Geng Yuanzi should be waiting for you inside. I'll take my leave now."
With that said, he left here.
Ning Tao entered the small courtyard and looked around. The pavilions, flowing water, and jade in the small house made the small courtyard of Mu Xu have a unique scenery.
