Chapter 345: Chapter 343 Extremely Careless Shen Luoyan

The next day.

Sui Xuan’s essence, qi, and spirit were completely rejuvenated, and he, along with Sui Zhuyue, visited Ning Daoran to express their gratitude for his assistance.

“Fellow Daoist Sui.”

Ning Daoran inquired, “Have you taken the Returning Life Pill? Where did this Returning Life Pill come from?”

Sui Xuan’s face reddened, “Fellow Daoist Huang Yihan happened to have one, and I purchased it from him for a hefty sum.”

“I see.”

Ning Daoran gave a faint smile, thinking to himself about how Sui Xuan had completely omitted the details of the transaction!

“As long as the injuries are healed, after all, spirit stones are merely external objects.”

“Exactly!”

Sui Xuan nodded emphatically, saying, “After this calamity, I dare not say much, but I will engrave Fellow Daoist Ning’s kindness deeply into my heart!”

Ning Daoran responded with a smile.

Sui Zhuyue pursed her red lips, delighted by her father’s recovery, and at the same time, she stealthily glanced at this Senior Ning, who had treated her father’s injuries without uttering a word of condition, distinctly different from that Huang Yihan.

After chatting for a while, Sui Xuan and Sui Zhuyue took their leave.

Subsequently, they did not visit Huang Yihan but instead turned around and left.

After all, in Sui Xuan’s heart, Huang Yihan’s act of jacking up the price was extremely unkind, and more importantly, he even had advances towards Sui Zhuyue while Sui Xuan was injured, leaving a knot in Sui Xuan’s heart.

…

“Fellow Daoist Ning.”

At this moment, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew into the cave mansion, from Nangong Rou: “I would like to propose a transaction with Fellow Daoist. This time it is a true, pure transaction without any schemes.”

Ning Daoran flicked his sleeve and the Cave Mansion Restriction opened.

Nangong Rou, with her skirt lightly lifted, stepped into the cave mansion, walking gracefully, evidently not employing her Bewitching Technique this time, and thus she seemed rather refined.

“Fairy, please have a seat.”

Ning Daoran indicated for Big Stupid Deer to serve tea, saying with a smile, “I wonder what kind of array Fellow Daoist wishes me to refine?”

“A Third-tier Lower Grade Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array, I wonder if Fellow Daoist is capable of refining it?”

“How coincidental, I am extremely adept at refining such an array.”

“Oh?”

Nangong Rou’s eyes widened. If you can, you can; if you can’t, you can’t—what does “extremely adept” mean? Isn’t that a priceless array? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ning can refine Third-tier Arrays as easily as cabbages?

“Alright.”

She nodded her head, saying, “That’s precisely the array I want.”

“The Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array is a Killing Array, not the kind used for concealing one’s aura, gathering spirit, or defense. May I ask what Fairy intends to do with this Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array? Don’t tell me your enemy is a large family?”

“…”

A hint of alarm crossed Nangong Rou’s beautiful face, clearly struck by Ning Daoran’s accurate guess.

She indeed needed the array for revenge, and her enemy was a Golden Core family, where the ancestor was a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator close to passing away. This family happened to have a blood feud with the Nangong family behind Nangong Rou.

She was already planning her Core Formation. If she could successfully form her core and add the Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array to her arsenal, she might even have a chance to uproot this Golden Core family completely!

“Fellow Daoist Ning, since when do you question the purpose of an array during its refinement? I just took an interest and wish to obtain a Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array to add to the bottom of my Storage Bag. Does this explanation satisfy you?”

“Satisfied. As long as the fairy has explained, I shall refine it for you.”

Ning Daoran said, “However, the Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array is a large array, and the materials required for its construction are vast. The price is not cheap. A complete Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array, including materials and refining fees, comes to 60,000 spirit stones. Have you considered it thoroughly, Fairy?”

“I have considered it.”

Nangong Rou pursed her lips and immediately pulled out a Storage Bag, throwing it onto the table, “Here are 60,000 spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, please count them. If it’s agreeable, then let’s sign a contract for you to refine the array for me.”

“Okay.”

Ning Daoran picked up the Storage Bag and swept his Divine Sense over it. Indeed, there were 60,000 Spirit Stones, even a few hundred extra.

“No need to sign a contract.”

“Oh?”

Nangong Rou narrowed her eyes, “It’s not that I don’t trust Fellow Daoist, but it is always the rule in Kunpeng Immortal City to trade spirit stones directly for goods, so why would you accept the spirit stones without signing a contract?”

“Fairy, you misunderstand.”

Ning Daoran patted the Storage Bag and said, “It’s just that I happen to have a brand new Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array here, so there’s no need for refinement at all. Fairy just needs to temper and assimilate the Jade Talisman for control.”

With that, he activated a trace of mana to re-temper the control Jade Talisman, erasing his own aura while leaving a backdoor.

Nangong Rou had once offended Ning Daoran, necessitating a precautionary measure lest one day she decides to use the Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array against him. Ning Daoran would then let Nangong Rou understand what a foolproof “Enemy-Friend Identification System” is!

“This…”

Nangong Rou picked up a set of array flags and array plate for an array, her face full of astonishment. To think there was a complete array ready for use, just how profound was Ning Daoran’s foundation?

After all, a third-tier array could easily cost tens of thousands of spirit stones—is he so rich as to have spare ones to craft?

However, on second thought, it made sense. Over these years, Ning Daoran had forged arrays for Kunpeng Immortal City, and just the commission fees alone amounted to a great sum. It was not surprising for him to possess several ready-made arrays.

In fact, the more arrays Ning Daoran crafted, the better he became at conserving materials. The Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array was actually pieced together using leftover materials from other arrays like the Heavenly Gang Hundred Fierce Formation and the Purple Lightning Frost Array.

Originally, Ning Daoran planned to give his young junior sister a set after returning to his sect, but unexpectedly, Nangong Rou showed up at his door.

Well, that settled it. Since the array was assembled from scraps, it didn’t cost him a dime, yet Nangong Rou had spent sixty thousand spirit stones to buy it. What could Ning Daoran say? He could only weep as he pocketed a hearty profit of sixty thousand!

“Good, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning.”

Nangong Rou pursed her red lips. Overall, she actually profited from the deal. After all, there were very few array masters capable of crafting the Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Array, and those great formation masters who could were mostly “kept” by Southern Heaven Palace, leaving them no spare time to craft. And if they did, the price would surely be above sixty thousand spirit stones.

Thus, Nangong Rou happily returned to her cave mansion.

Ning Daoran put away the spirit stones and continued his secluded cultivation, studying the Five Elements Unification Skill.

…

Life in Kunpeng Immortal City was tranquil and rewarding, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ning Daoran was 238 years old.

Throughout these three years, the Boundary War continued intermittently, with both sides sinking into a war of attrition and only certain areas experiencing intense combat, while most regions maintained a standoff.

It had reached a point when neither side could fight on, with heavy losses of cultivators on both sides, necessitating a period of recuperation.

Yet, three years later, another big piece of news spread throughout Kunpeng Immortal City.

A legendary secret realm rumored to be located above the Eastern Sea was about to open!

This secret realm was known as the “Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm,” opening once every hundred years, and the time was nearing once again. The secret realm was said to be full of opportunities, believed to have been the Land of Silence for several Divinity Transformation Stage experts. Not just treasures and Jiedan Elixirs could be found within, but people rumored there was even the Nascent Condensing Elixir!

Nascent Soul—the stage every cultivator dreamt of reaching. Once Nascent Soul was achieved, one would skyrocket to the top ranks of cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World. As long as those at Divinity Transformation did not intervene, the realm was ruled by those at Nascent Soul Stage.

The Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World was part of the “Mortal World,” lacking the Heaven and Earth Qi essential for the Divinity Transformation stage of cultivation. A Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator could refine very little Qi in the Mortal World, so they typically would not act before ascending as each use of their Qi meant that much less to spend, a non-renewable resource.

Therefore, in the Mortal World, Divinity Transformation stays quiet while Nascent Souls dominate!

The Nascent Condensing Elixir might very well be the most coveted treasure in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, its value no less than a fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure!

During these three years, aside from his cultivation, Ning Daoran had consistently sent out Paperfolk to collect information about the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm. With the realm about to open, he intended to visit.

Though each exploration of a secret realm was fraught with extreme danger, with the risk of perishing, after meticulous assessment by Ning Daoran, he concluded this one seemed relatively safer.

This was due to a certain setting… or rather, a restriction within the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm. It was said that aside from a multitude of Magical Treasures and Spiritual Treasures, there was also a Fifth-Order Shapeshifting Treasure prowling within!

This treasure was known as the Nascent Soul Sword, capable of transforming on its own. True to its name, the sword was once the Life-bound Item of a Divinity Transformation Stage expert. After its master’s passing, the Nascent Soul Sword assumed its master’s identity and took control of the entire Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, hunting down any Nascent Souls that entered!

The sword could obliterate a Nascent Soul in an instant!

Thus, no Nascent Soul cultivator from outside the realm would dare step half a foot into the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, unless they were old immortals wanting to taste the bitterness of arsenic.

Without any Nascent Souls entering, Ning Daoran’s concerns lessened considerably. Although he was still in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he was almost invincible among those in the Golden Core Stage within the realm. The only risk to entering the secret realm was if he were to be ganged up upon—otherwise, there was no danger at all.

Furthermore, there was something that greatly intrigued Ning Daoran.

Since the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm was located above the Eastern Sea, not only the cultivators from Xia Country were plotting to enter, but also a great number of Golden Core cultivators from Sangyu Country didn’t want to miss this chance and would be entering in droves!

Moreover, as the two parties were still at war, slaying opposing Golden Core cultivators within the secret realm had become a matter of great importance to the higher-ups of both sides.

For this reason, the Nascent Soul Mid-stage Palace Master Lin Tiannan of Southern Heaven Palace had long ago decreed that any Xia Country cultivator who slain an enemy in the secret realm and produced their head could claim their rewards at Southern Heaven Palace.

The head of a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator was worth fifty thousand spirit stones, Mid-stage was worth thirty thousand, Early Stage was worth ten thousand, and for Foundation Establishment, each head was valued at three thousand spirit stones.

For Ning Daoran, this was clearly an immense wealth!

…

One evening.

A silhouette flew into Southern Heaven Palace and stood firm outside Ning Daoran’s sixty-sixth-layer cave mansion.

She wore a fiery red dress with a rust-gold cape fluttering behind her. Her face was stunning enough to cause fish to sink and wild geese to fall, her proud bosom accentuated by deep red chest plates, her waist delicate and slender, her buttocks round, and her snow-white legs in boots. Most importantly… she radiated the aura of a Late-stage Nascent Soul!

Shen Luoyan—she had actually sought him out!

In the adjacent cave mansion, Huang Yihan and Nangong Rou were each shivering, daring not to extend their divine sense to investigate this visitor outside the mansion.

Even at the very top of Southern Heaven Palace.

“Hmm?”

Palace Master Lin Tiannan suddenly woke from his nap, his heart not helping but grow cold. Why had she come?
