Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 388 - 386 Recurrence

“Master Qi Xing.”

Ning Daoran lightly raised his hand, and a blood-red Crystal Stone flew out from his Storage Bag, saying, “This object dropped after I killed that Blood Demon, but I don’t know what it is?”

“Blood Demon Crystal Stone.”

True Monarch Qi Xing, having seen much, said, “This crystal stone is the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi nurtured by the Blood Demon for many years. It can greatly enhance the mana of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and is even more beneficial than ordinary Spirit Pills. I had once seen this item from a Divinity Transformation Stage Expert.”

As he spoke, he said in a serious tone, “You keep it well. If you step into the Nascent Soul in the future, this item will be of great use to you.”

Ning Daoran took a deep breath and said, “Master Qi Xing, I can feel the Essence Qi within this item fading away over time. In a hundred or two hundred years, the Essence Qi will be gone. Currently, I am only at the mid-stage of Golden Core, and I don’t even know when I’ll be able to ascend to Nascent Soul, so this item is of no use to me.”

As he spoke, he propelled the Blood Demon Crystal Stone forward with a thread of mana, saying, “I offer this to Master Qi Xing as a belated meeting gift. After all, having learned the Liangyi Sword Technique for so many years, there should be some recompense.”

“Good!”

True Monarch Qi Xing accepted it immediately, saying, “Since we’re all family, I won’t stand on ceremony! Nephew Ning, have you prepared your Nascent Condensing Elixir? If not, I might be able to help.”

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Qi Xing,”

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, “I have already prepared my Nascent Condensing Elixir in full, just waiting for Golden Core Perfection. Thank you for your kindness!”

True Monarch Qi Xing didn’t say anything more, but Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang were both secretly shocked. Neither of them had collected their Nascent Condensing Elixirs yet, and here Ning Daoran had already made the preparations ahead of time, even though he was a Loose Cultivator!

“By the way.”

True Monarch Qi Xing said, “City Lord Lin has already issued orders. Now that four Nascent Soul Cultivators are stationed in the Immortal City, starting from tomorrow, we will gradually reclaim the territories lost to the Kunpeng Immortal City. I will continue to defend the Immortal City. Xuyan, Wushuang, prepare yourselves to take your junior brothers and sisters back to the Liangyi Sect. After nearly a year of outside experience, it’s time to return and concentrate on your cultivation.”

“Yes, Master Qi Xing!”

Despite some reluctance, the two of them nevertheless complied with the instruction.

…

A few days later.

The Black Tide originating from the source began to gradually dissipate, and the siege of Kunpeng Immortal City was entirely lifted. The parts of South City, East City, and West City that had been occupied by the Black Tide were all returned to the control of Kunpeng Immortal City.

Under the direction of Fourth Order Array Master True Monarch Liu Yun, a large number of Array Masters gathered in Kunpeng Immortal City to redeploy the City Protection Array Formation, and an additional array was added five miles outside of the city wall to enhance the defensive strength of Kunpeng Immortal City.

Ning Daoran went to observe the source several times, discovering that only a two to three-mile radius of Black Tide remained on the surface, with all Blood Demons and Red Demons retreating back to the depths of the source, perhaps having been deterred by his slaying of a Blood Demon.

In the evening, Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang were about to leave.

The two lingered and loitered in Ning Daoran’s Cave Mansion, reluctant to depart.

“Brother.”

Lin Xuyan’s face showed a hint of shame, “Reuniting with brother this time, Lin Xuyan thought I could fulfill one of brother’s wishes. However, I did not expect brother to be dissatisfied even with a Fairy like Junior Sister Wushuang. There’s no other way. After returning to the Liangyi Sect, I will continue to help brother look until I find a sister-in-law who pleases you.”

Ning Daoran held his forehead with a pained expression, not wanting to deal with him.

“Senior Brother Ning.”

At the time of parting, Liu Wushuang stepped forward, vivaciously took out a deep blue artifact from her Storage Bag, and presented it in her hands, “This object is a Treasure given to me by my Master, called the Liangyi Spirit Lamp. Although it’s just a Low-grade Magical Treasure, it has the effects of Gathering Spirit and calming the mind. Placing it where you cultivate could be somewhat beneficial, I hope Senior Brother will accept it.”

“I can’t!”

Ning Daoran frowned, “Junior Sister, this was a gift from your Master, how can I accept it?”

“The debt of saving a life outweighs all others. If Senior Brother doesn’t accept this, Wushuang’s heart will be troubled,”

Liu Wushuang’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “This item is just a Low-grade Magical Treasure after all. It might be treasured outside, but it’s nothing special in the Liangyi Sect. It’s just a small token of Wushuang’s affection. Now that we are parting, who knows when we’ll meet again, and Wushuang hopes this item can accompany Senior Brother’s side. Seeing the Spirit Lamp, Senior Brother will remember Wushuang… It would make me very happy.”

“…”

Lin Xuyan’s eyes bulged, “How about… taking advantage of the fact you haven’t left yet and you two just blow out the lamp and enter the bridal chamber straight away, I’ll stand guard for you outside!”

Liu Wushuang’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she lifted her leg to kick him.

Lin Xuyan winced in pain and backed away with a grimace.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll gratefully accept Junior Sister Wushuang’s kind intention.”

Ning Daoran accepted the Liangyi Spirit Lamp, but took out a White Silk Magical Treasure from his Storage Ring, saying, “This White Silk is a Third-tier Middle-grade Magical Treasure, not particularly impressive, but its offensive power is very fierce. Junior Sister Wushuang refining it will add another method to your arsenal.”

He added, “Just a few days ago during the battle with the Blood Demon, if Junior Sister Wushuang had this treasure, you could’ve used it to entangle the Blood Demon. Although it wouldn’t be enough to kill it, temporarily trapping it would not have been an issue.”

“That gave me a scare.”

Lin Xuyan said, “I thought Senior Brother was giving Junior Sister Wushuang this thing to hang herself with…”

“Shut your mouth!”

Ning Daoran and Liu Wushuang admonished him in unison.

The next second, the chiding look on Liu Wushuang’s face was suddenly replaced by a sweet smile as she accepted the White Silk and said, “Thank you for the treasure, Senior Brother. Since it’s a gift from you, I will accept it!”

“Good!”

Ning Daoran nodded with a smile.

This White Silk came from No-Action True Monarch’s Storage Ring, and it was a mystery what that messy old man needed this White Silk for. Was it really for hanging himself should he fail to breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation and grow tired of living?

Well, giving it to Liu Wushuang now seemed appropriate.

As for Liu Wushuang, being the True Disciple of Liu Wushuang herself and the apple of the Sect Master’s eye, her Lifebound Magical Treasure was certainly a Spiritual Treasure. This Third-tier Middle-grade Magical Treasure might not even catch her eye, but since it was a gift from Ning Daoran, she happily accepted it.

“Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Liu, it’s time to leave.”

At this moment, a voice from a Liangyi Sect Disciple came from outside.

“Alright.”

Ning Daoran slowly stood up and said, “You should return to the Sect, I’ll see you off.”

In the sky outside, two Daoist Flying Boats hovered as Ning Daoran watched Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang depart.

Afterward, he went to the Southern Heaven Palace.

“Young Friend Ning.”

Lin Tiannan looked slightly weary and said, “Are you leaving now?”

“Indeed.”

Ning Daoran bowed respectfully and said, “Now that my home is set up on Flowing Flower Island, even though the Spiritual Energy inside the Immortal City is richer, I still wish to return for peaceful cultivation on the island. But rest assured, Senior Lin, if there is any situation in the Kunpeng Immortal City, I will definitely come.”

“That’s good.”

Lin Tiannan nodded and said, “Then please proceed back to Flowing Flower Island, Young Friend. The merits you have established have all been noted by me as the City Lord, and after this storm passes, you will certainly be rewarded!”

“You’re too kind, Senior!”

Ning Daoran said his farewells and left.

Inside the palace, peace returned.

“Letting him go just like that?”

From the shadows, a slender figure emerged – it was True Monarch Liu Yun, who said with a light smile, “Ning Daoran is a rare genius, having devised a method to counter both the Red Demon and Blood Demon on his own. Looking across Yunzhou, aside from the Divinity Transformation Stage Experts, probably only this young man could slay the Blood Demon.”

“Young Friend Ning is a Loose Cultivator.”

Lin Tiannan sighed, “Although I’ve bestowed upon him the title of Flowing Flower Island Master, he ultimately isn’t a person from the Kunpeng Immortal City. We have no reason to keep him here to deal with the war against the Black Tide. He is someone who lives a carefree life, so how could he willingly accept such a duty.”

“Fellow Daoist makes a valid point.”

True Monarch Liu Yun laughed lightly, “For such a talent, we do not ask for him to serve Xia Country’s Cultivation World, but rather, just not to force him into becoming an enemy of Xia Country’s Cultivation World is already quite good.”

Lin Tiannan smiled agreeably, as someone who had been in charge understood the principle.

…

Flowing Flower Island.

Ning Daoran returned to his usual lifestyle, with Big Stupid Deer and Ning Xiaogui, they opened up two mu of Spirit field in the backyard of the Island Master Cave Mansion and planted various crops like potatoes, green beans, and skyward peppers. Nourished by the robust Spiritual Energy, these vegetables thrived, just waiting to be cooked.

Sui Zhuyue wanted to help, but Ning Daoran persuaded her to return to the Cave Mansion for cultivation.

Dressed in a light yellow gown, Huang Yiyi brewed tea by the Spirit field, always ready to serve drinks to the hardworking people.

Once the crops were flourishing, Ning Daoran began his closed-door cultivation.

Continuing to refine his Golden Core Stage Mana, striving toward breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage, believing that combating the Blood Demon would be a bit easier after such a breakthrough.

…

Three years swiftly passed. In those three years, Flowing Flower Island prospered, and Kunpeng Immortal City enjoyed peace, with no new disturbances from the source of the Black Tide.

However, three years later, a staggering figure arrived at Flowing Flower Island. He was a Late-stage Foundation Establishment young Sword Cultivator who knelt outside the Island Master Cave Mansion with a plop: “I report to the Flowing Flower Island Master, the Black Tide has once again struck Kunpeng Immortal City! The city has suffered heavy losses! The City Lord commands me to request the Island Master’s assistance!”
