His appearance has changed from his previous grotesque appearance to that of an ordinary person, except for the ferocious head. Putting on the blood-colored armor, he looks like a mortal general.
Moreover, their faces also changed slightly, and there was a hint of majesty in them.
...
Half a month later, Ning Tao said goodbye to his master and came to Taiyi Sword Sect.
Ning Feng, who heard his brother's arrival, brought Li Ruoxue to greet him.
...
A few days later, Ning Tao, who saw the scenery of Taiyi Sword Sect, took Ning Feng to Shuiling Sect to visit his sister whom he had not seen for a long time.
It was said that he was going to see his sister, but Ning Tao felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.
...
A few days later, in Shuiling Sect, there was a side hall of the outer gate hall.
A Jindan elder from Shuiling Sect and his leader were entertaining Ning Tao and the others.
Listening to the Jindan elder's words, Ning Tao frowned unconsciously.
"Two junior brothers, Junior Sister Wuyou is in retreat now, but it's hard to see each other. Why don't we go back first, wait for Junior Sister to come out of seclusion, and then arrange for the disciples to go and report."
When Ning Tao heard this, he felt a little confused.
Normally, my sister is in seclusion, and because of her connection with the Shui Ling Sect, she wouldn't arrange for a golden elixir to tell me.
Moreover, Shui Yue was nowhere to be seen. Regarding this, Ning Tao's intuition told him that he had some bad premonitions.
So Ning Tao cupped his hands and said.
"It doesn't matter. We have nothing to do. We haven't fully appreciated the scenery near Yunwuze yet. It doesn't matter if we wait."
...
After Ning Tao and the others left, the Jindan monk looked at the leaving figures and sighed slightly.
The leader on the side was a little confused when he saw this, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Ning Feng, who left Shuiling Sect, saw his brother with a gloomy face next to him. He was a little confused and did not ask.
"What's wrong, brother, what's the matter?"
After hearing this, Ning Tao expressed his suspicions, and Ning Feng's face became a little uncertain after hearing this.
Then Ning Tao spoke again: "You and Ruoxue go back first. I have a secret method. Unless the Shui Ling Sect's Nascent Soul cultivator comes, it will be difficult for me to be found."
"When there is any news, I will send someone to Taiyi Sword Sect to inform you."
Ning Feng wanted to say something when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he just left.
...
Two years later, outside the Shui Ling Sect, a phoenix-like, snow-white spirit bird carried a young girl and flew towards the outside of the sect. Two Golden Core cultivators followed closely behind, looking like they were the masters.
Upon seeing this, Ning Tao hurriedly followed. Before he could get closer, he felt the majestic power of spiritual thoughts and saw the girl's face. He couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
After he left, Ning Tao stumbled in the air and quickly regained his consciousness.
Staggeringly, he headed back toward Yaowang Sect.
Along the way, he couldn't get rid of the girl's cold gaze when she looked at him.
...
With Ning Tao's current cultivation level, the journey that originally took three or four days was taken by Ning Tao for more than ten days.
Returning to Yaowang Sect's cave, Ning Tao closed the door tightly and saw no visitors.
Many people close to Ning Tao who have not yet congratulated Ning Tao for his golden elixir are also quite confused.
Among them were Ning Tao’s senior brothers and sisters.
.....
More than ten days later, Ning Tao, who looked a little haggard, came to Dan Chenzi.
Dan Chenzi looked at the haggard Ning Tao and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
At this time, Ning Tao didn't know that his master had already known about this matter.
He spoke hesitantly.
"Master..."
Before Ning Tao could continue speaking, Dan Chenzi interrupted him.
"Ning Tao, I know what you want to say, and I can rely on you in everything. But I can't do this, not because I don't want to, but because I can't."
Ning Tao's face turned even paler when he heard this, and he staggered out.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around, knelt down deeply and said softly.
"Master, take care."
After Ning Tao left, Dan Chenzi's cave suddenly closed.
At this time, An Ran, who was practicing not far from Dan Chenzi's cave, suddenly heard Dan Chenzi's voice in his ears.
"As a master, I will be in seclusion for a period of time. During this time, I will not see any guests."
An Ran got up and returned after hearing this.
"Disciple, please obey your instructions."
...
A few days later, at Yang Feng's place, Ning Tao handed him the jade talisman for controlling his cave and told him that he would be out for a while.
Please help me, senior brother, to take care of the cave.
Yang Feng saw that Ning Tao looked strange and pale, and couldn't help but become concerned.
Ning Tao didn't say much about this, he just said that it was due to excessive damage to the essence and blood due to refining the magic weapon, and then left.
...
A few days later, outside Taiyi Sword Sect.
...
Half a month later, a huge eastbound ship was flying in the sky. Ning Tao stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers passing by his feet, wondering what he was thinking.
...
Half a year later, Ning Tao looked at the endless blue sea in front of him and couldn't help but roar.
...
Two years later, there was a second-level cave in Linghuan Realm, Haizhou, Qixing Island, and Qixing City.
Ning Tao looked at the ugly birds chirping in front of him, and finally saw a long-lost smile on his gloomy face.
After decades of hard work, I never expected that it would finally bear fruit.
Ning Tao couldn't help but be envious of the naked baby-sized Qingluan Bird, which had the foundation-building stage of cultivation right after it was born.
But no father would be jealous of his child. In Ning Tao's eyes, Qingluan Bird was just like his own daughter, connected by blood.
Ning Tao couldn't help but smile as he looked at the green luan bird that was getting close to him and wanted to eat.
...
In the Linghuan Realm, the Jiuzhou Continent is the largest gathering place for human monks.
After countless years of development.
In addition to the original Kyushu, there are also some places occupied by human monks and named states. Among them is the overseas immortal world called Haizhou.
Haizhou is slightly smaller than Shuzhou and is the largest island here, hence the name of Haizhou Cultivation World.
In the Haizhou Immortal Realm, there are countless islands that are densely covered with stars. Counting the area of the sea area, it is not much compared to Kyushu.
There are also four or five slightly smaller islands, each occupied by several large sects.
In addition, there are countless immortal cultivating sects and casual cultivating forces occupying islands of various sizes here.
And there is another magical thing about Haizhou, that is, besides water aura, there is the largest amount of fire aura in the air.
This should be directly related to Haeju's vicious sun. Of course, there are also many active volcanoes here that are in a semi-erruptive state all year round.
The Seven Star City where Ning Tao is now located is located in the east of the Haizhou Immortal World. It is a huge island covering an area of about thousands of square kilometers. There are millions of mortals and countless monks living on the island.
It is named Qixing Island because there are seven islands dotted with dozens of square kilometers around it.
On these seven small islands, there are several islands with volcanoes on them.
The purpose of Ning Tao's trip was to find the largest volcano here, enter it, and find a place to stay.
By the way, take this opportunity to sacrifice your natal magic weapon.
On the second day, in the streets of Qixing City, Ning Tao couldn't help but marvel at the harmonious coexistence between mortals and immortal cultivators in front of him.
Although most of these mortals are the family members of immortal cultivators, there are still hundreds of thousands of mortals gathered in the outer city.
Ning Tao, who had hidden his cultivation and was wandering on the street, suddenly found a young man following him furtively. He stopped and looked back.
I saw that this young man was not afraid when he saw this, and jogged over openly.
He bowed first and then spoke.
"Chief Immortal, I see that you are not familiar with Seven Star City. It must be your first time here. I wonder what I can do for you."
Ning Tao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would meet a broker as soon as he arrived in Haizhou.
"Do you know where in this city I can sell maps?"
"You know, you know, in our Haizhou, a detailed map is very necessary. It is a must-have when going out. If the immortal can trust me, then come with me, but..."
As he spoke, he stretched out a small hand and rubbed it constantly.
Ning Tao smiled slightly when he saw this and said.
"You take me there first. If it goes well, it will be of great benefit to you."
The young man said hello and led Ning Tao forward.
On the road, people greeted the child from time to time. When passing a fruit stall, they even handed over two fruits that looked like apples.
The young man handed a piece of fruit to Ning Tao and said.
"The fruit of Immortal Growth is called red fruit. Although it is not as good as the spiritual fruit, it is sour and sweet and tastes quite good. It is the best way to quench your thirst."
Ning Tao heard this and took the fruit, took a bite and found that it tasted good as the young man said.
After a while, the young man led Ning Tao to a shabby old shop. The young man shouted something as soon as he entered the door.
"Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan, we have a visitor, we have a visitor."
As he spoke, he slapped the counter in front of him.
Ning Tao swept his mind and found a short old man dozing on a recliner behind the counter. When he heard the young man talking, he woke up in a daze.
However, Ning Tao discovered that not only that, the old man actually hid his cultivation. He was by no means the Qi-training period cultivation on the surface. He was at least a foundation-building monk.
After the old man got up, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw Ning Tao's appearance, and then returned to normal. It seemed that he had discovered Ning Tao's hidden cultivation.
Seeing the strange behavior of the old man, Ning Tao knew in his heart that this man was by no means a foundation-building monk. He had at least a golden elixir cultivation level, and not just an ordinary golden elixir cultivation level.
When the old man saw the young man, he said, "You brat, what are you yelling about? Are you disturbing me in my dreams?"
Seeing this, the young man smiled and took out the fruit he had just received from his arms and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the fruit angrily and slapped the young man on the head.
Then he said to Ning Tao.
"A distinguished guest is coming to our door, but I am not welcomed from afar. I wonder what you want to buy?"
Ning Tao smiled and said.
"I am new to your area and want to find a map that is as detailed as possible. Price is not an issue."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Hearing this, the old man took out a blue jade slip from the shelf behind him and handed it to Ning Tao, saying.
"Fellow Taoist, check it out first. If you are satisfied, we will discuss the price."
Ning Tao placed the object on his forehead, looked at the detailed map inside, and secretly thought that the old man really had some skills, and then he spoke.
"I wonder how much this map costs, friend?"
...
