Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 404 - 402 Coincidence

…

The next day, early in the morning.

A swirl of Spirit Cloud spanning nearly twenty li rose above the Main Peak of Liu Hua Island as Sui Zhuyue began her Core Formation.

At the cliff of Qingzhu Peak, Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer were barbecuing, looking distantly at the Spirit Cloud.

“Old Lu, do you think Sui Zhuyue will succeed in forming her core?”

“Ao ao~~~”

“Hmph, I thought so too. Sui Zhuyue is a very determined woman; although she has temporarily lived under my protection on Flowing Flower Island for these years, she has conducted everything in an orderly manner and has strong learning capabilities. Actually, at the time she sought Wu Qingshan to concoct the Dust-falling Pill, I knew she wouldn’t stay on Flowing Flower Island for long.”

“Ao?” Big Stupid Deer widened his eyes, showing he hadn’t noticed anything.

“Consider this.”

Ning Daoran elaborated, “She didn’t even inform me when she decided to concoct the Dust-falling Pill, presumably because she doesn’t want to owe me too much and plans to rely on her own skills and abilities to successfully form her core. Isn’t that obvious? A woman like Sui Zhuyue wouldn’t stay on Flowing Flower Island forever.”

“Ao ao~~”

Big Stupid Deer nuzzled his arm, signifying that men may be as steadfast as iron and women like flowing water, the women come and go like fleeting blooms, only Old Lu remains eternal.

Ning Daoran deeply agreed.

Several days later, the Spirit Cloud dispersed.

Sui Zhuyue entered the second stage of Core Formation, everything was extremely smooth.

At Liu Hua Square, many loose cultivators were discussing the ongoing Core Formation at the Main Peak, and many immediately recognized that it was the usually amiable beautiful manager undergoing Core Formation. Instantly, those Foundation Establishment cultivators admired her even more, wishing they could marry into Flowing Flower Island.

Thus, a hundred days later.

Sui Zhuyue successfully formed her core, and her Golden Core was incredibly stable!

…

“Young Master!”

After successfully forming her core, she flew straight to Qingzhu Peak and bowed on the cliff, her face showing irrepressible excitement, “Zhuyue has formed her core… being able to glimpse the splendor of the Golden Core Stage in this life, all thanks to Young Master’s care!”

“Zhuyue, no need for such courtesy.”

Ning Daoran smiled and said, “The biggest reason for your successful Core Formation is your own efforts and talent. If it weren’t for your talent, even my care might have been futile.”

Sui Zhuyue’s cheeks flushed slightly.

“Let’s hold a grand Core Formation ceremony.”

Ning Daoran said, “It’s been many years since Flowing Flower Island had such a grand event; make this Core Formation celebration a bit more lavish, the more gifts the better, it’ll also increase the revenue for Flowing Flower Island! As for the Spirit Stones needed for the ceremony, just take them directly from the treasury of Flowing Flower Island, we’re not short of that bit of money now.”

“Good!”

Sui Zhuyue smiled and said, “I’ll draft the invitation list with Yiyi right away!”

As a result, two months later, a grand Core Formation celebration was held on Flowing Flower Island.

Although Ning Daoran had been mixing in the Cultivation World of Kunpeng Immortal City for many years, he was always extremely low-profile, barely leaving home except to fight. Many cultivators who had been living on the island for decades hadn’t even seen the Island Master himself.

Now, as Flowing Flower Island’s Island Master, Ning Daoran hosted the Core Formation celebration for Sui Zhuyue. Besides the invited guests, many cultivators arrived uninvited, eager to make connections with the Island Master.

Though Lin Tiannan didn’t personally attend, he sent Chen Liang with a hefty gift roughly worth two hundred thousand Spirit Stones… It almost seemed like Lin Tiannan was discreetly subsidizing Ning Daoran’s younger generation with Spirit Stones.

Also, Liangyi Sect sent a generous gift worth around fifty thousand Spirit Stones, which was quite substantial. Additionally, Fierce Sun Dao Palace sent a gift, although it was formally in the name of the Dao Palace, the accompanying letter was written by Feng Jingshan, clearly indicating the gift was prepared by Feng Jingshan himself.

It seems that Ning Daoran is Independent Practitioner Jianjia, and Independent Practitioner Jianjia is Ning Daoran, this secret is no longer a secret.

The pseudonym of Independent Practitioner Jianjia… must be thoroughly discarded!

Furthermore, gifts arrived from Wanhua Sword Sect’s Nian Wuya, and Furong Immortal Palace’s Lin Baoping among others, leaving Sui Zhuyue and Huang Yiyi astounded, never imagining their Young Master had such extensive connections, almost knowing half of the Ten Great Immortal Sects!

So, the Core Formation celebration was held for three full days, and Ning Daoran also spent three days entertaining guests, earning himself a fortune. After deducting various expenses for the celebration, he made a net profit of at least five hundred thousand spirit stones!

He gave ten percent directly to Sui Zhuyue, and the rest went into the treasury of Flowing Flower Island.

…

Thus, life calmed down once again.

Months later, Ning Daoran decided to take a trip to check on the ancient transmission formation that Lin Man had left him. He tied the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven around his waist, draped a cloak over his shoulders, put on a bamboo hat, and set off with Big Stupid Deer.

Half a month later.

In the deep mountains on the eastern coast of Yunzhou.

A green figure gently landed, followed by a Spiritual Deer also descending into the mountains.

“Old Lu, enter the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven!”

As soon as Ning Daoran landed, he sensed something was wrong. The moment Big Stupid Deer sprinted into the Cave Heaven, the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, Great Void Expansion Technique, and Great Absorption Skill were all activated simultaneously, and his body swiftly disappeared into the woods.

“Fellow junior, are you sure it’s really here?”

A strong voice came from the woods.

Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and saw two figures clad in yellow robes landing at the foot of the mountain, one in Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and the other in Early Stage Golden Core.

The one in Early Stage Golden Core even had a First Grade Fire Spirit Root!

As for the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, he was much less impressive, possessing only a Fourth Grade Spirit Root.

“It’s definitely here. How could I deceive you, senior brother? I even left a mark here, the mark is right here, but suddenly those rocks are gone… what could be the reason…”

The young Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator frowned, completely puzzled.

“Hmph!”

The Early Stage Golden Core brother casually said, “If that’s the case, there’s only one explanation. There must be an Illusion Technique prohibition here, which is why you can’t discern the truth. Move aside, let your senior brother take a look.”

“Alright!”

The Foundation Establishment junior quickly stepped aside.

His Golden Core senior raised his palm, and a surge of thick mana forcefully pushed forward, causing a crisp sound in the woods, sounding as if a huge mirror had shattered. The lush scenery in front of them disappeared, replaced by a dark cave entrance where stones were piled up haphazardly to form an array.

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows. It was indeed an ancient transmission formation. Those Great Cultivators of the Ancient Era had immense cultivation but were far less developed in terms of material refining and array techniques. Many things were crudely made, such as the arrays, which in the Ancient Era were mostly built with stones and were not refined.

“Indeed, it’s an ancient formation…”

The brother’s eyes lit up, and he laughed, “Junior, you’ve made a great contribution! Once we return to Yellow Dragon Valley, I will surely report truthfully to the Ancestor, who will definitely acknowledge your great merit!”

“Really?”

The Foundation Establishment junior’s face lit up with excitement, and he hurriedly bowed, “Thank you in advance for your help, senior brother!”

However, before he could look up, a whooshing sound erupted, and a blood-colored blade descended from the sky, directly decapitating the young Foundation Establishment Cultivator, whose body shook and then completely perished.

“How ludicrous…”

The Early Stage Golden Core brother sneered and immediately turned towards the slightly damaged ancient transmission formation, murmuring, “Finally, I can return to Sangyu Country, finally I can go back…”

…

At that moment, Ning Daoran also finally understood why he felt a very familiar aura from this Early Stage Golden Core youth, something seemingly familiar despite never having met before.

It turns out, the aura of mana emanating from him was identical to that of the Immortal True Monarch who had pursued him above the Eastern Sea five years ago!

Ning Daoran chuckled to himself.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

Based on his inference, it was likely that after Immortal True Monarch’s physical body was destroyed by Shen Luoyan, his Nascent Soul fled north all the way here to the so-called Yellow Dragon Valley, and took possession of a disciple here who had a First Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root!

Meaning, this young man in Early Stage Golden Core was actually the Immortal True Monarch!

After lying low in Xia Country’s Cultivation World for five years, he finally found an ancient transmission formation. For him, a Nascent Soul who took another’s body and whose realm had not yet recovered, returning to Sangyu Country was of utmost importance, hence his jubilation.

As it happened, this ancient transmission formation was the very one left by Lin Man—what a twist of fate!

“Hey…”

Ning Daoran stepped out from the void, holding a Big Green Dragon, and smiled, “Fellow Daoist, this ancient transmission formation is a treasure, it should be shared by those who see it!”

“You…”

The Immortal True Monarch turned abruptly, recognizing Ning Daoran at first glance.

“Back then, Immortal Taoist pursued Ning at the Nascent Soul Stage, must not have expected the tables to turn, right?”

Ning Daoran raised his hand, immediately setting up a Ten Directions Forbidden Array, isolating everything around.

“Ning Daoran, you…”

The Immortal True Monarch felt utter despair, couldn’t help but roar in anger.

A Nascent Soul cultivator has only one chance to take over a body, and he had already used it. Now with this body in Early Stage Golden Core, how could he possibly match the infamous Independent Practitioner Jianjia?
