Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 435 - 433: Fire Silkworm Play

Ning Daoran explained: “I have traveled the world with Old Lu, with the purpose of conquering demons and eliminating evil, so I dealt with all the Demon Beasts we could defeat on the way, naturally accumulating a large amount of materials. Furthermore, during the border battles and in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm, I slew countless Golden Core cultivators of Sangyu Country. The materials in their Storage Bags, when gathered together, are naturally quite plentiful, and this is only a part of it. After Senior Sister finishes refining, there’s still more.”

“…”

Fairy Liu Ruyan felt overwhelmed. Was this not treating Senior Sister as an outsider? Seeing her for the first time in hundreds of years, and immediately putting Senior Sister to hard work, wasn’t it?

However, recalling that Ning Daoran only charged 30,000 Spirit Stones for refining a Third-tier mid-grade Defense Array for her, Liu Ruyan had no dissatisfaction. Ning Daoran was actually very good to her as a Senior Sister; he was someone who cherished old relationships.

If it were not so… forge an array? I’d pound your brains out!

Independent Practitioner Jianjia’s fearsome reputation was something Liu Ruyan had heard thunderous tales of in Sangyu Country.

The name of Independent Practitioner Jianjia had the effect of stopping a baby’s tears in Sangyu Country. Due to the sheer fear, the folks of Sangyu Country compiled various stories of Jianjia into books, novels, and spread them widely through plays and shadow puppetry. Among them, “Mirror Flower Water Moon Vindication Records,” “Dreams End in the Wuwan Sea,” “Fire Silkworm Play,” “The Battle of No-Action True Monarch and Liu Hua Island,” and others were the best known.

Thinking of Ning Daoran, with his formidable reputation, personally refining an array for her, Liu Ruyan’s heart felt warm, and she began to reminisce about the old days.

Thus, Liu Ruyan left late at night, taking away a large number of talisman materials, and immediately started a closed-door cultivation.

…

Inside the Cave Mansion, Little Bai, Little Blackie, and others came out.

“Master.”

Little Bai’s graceful eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying, “I don’t quite like this woman.”

“Uh-huh.”

Ning Daoran said, “I don’t quite like her either, but after all, she is an old acquaintance.”

“This woman is quite opportunistic; I urge the master to be extra cautious in dealing with her.”

“I know.”

Ning Daoran cheerfully said, “Don’t worry, I won’t take a liking to her, and she certainly won’t develop any peculiar thoughts towards me. However, we still need to be wary; we’ll have to set up a few more Defensive Arrays and Illusion Arrays underneath Luoxia Peak.”

He turned around and took out a Jade Bottle from his chest. The bottle was filled with high-quality True Blood Pills, saying, “Little Bai, don’t delay your Cultivation. Starting from today, begin using the True Blood Pills for cultivation. In the future, I plan to form a Nascent Soul. I hope that when I form my Nascent Soul, both you and Old Lu can also achieve Nascent Soul. Then our Ning Family will walk sideways in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World with three Nascent Souls in one clan.”

“Okay!”

Little Bai happily accepted the Elixir Pills, her lovely face brimming with joy.

She knew from this moment on, her status in Ning Daoran’s heart was finally changing. Although she definitely couldn’t compare to White Deer, at least she was now on the same level as Little Blackie and Ning Xiaogui, far surpassing Er Hei.

So, Ning Daoran began his cultivation life at the Purple and Green Three Peaks.

…

Several days later, an aura of a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator came to the front of the Cave Mansion, wearing a deep blue Taoist robe.

“Fellow Daoist Ning.”

The other party clenched his fist in greetings, “I am the Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak, Master Bi Shui. I was in closed-door cultivation a few days ago, and I came to visit today after exiting cultivation. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is free to meet?”

The Peak Master of Purple Mist Peak was finally here!

“Buzz~~~”

Ning Daoran flicked his sleeve, dispersing the Cave Mansion’s restriction, smiling, “Fellow Daoist Bi Shui, please come in. I’ve been waiting many days for you to exit your cultivation.”

“Oh?”

Master Bi Shui, with a hearty character, laughed, “I’ve been closed away too long, that was rather presumptive of me.”

“Please, Fellow Daoist!”

“Please!”

After both were seated, Ning Daoran immediately narrowed his eyes, smiling, “I heard that Fellow Daoist is a Third-tier Top-Grade Puppet Master?”

“Indeed!”

Master Bi Shui smiled wide, “Does Fellow Daoist have a need for a Third-tier Puppet?”

“Indeed.”

Ning Daoran said, “Puppets, such treasures, are essential for guarding and protecting. Since we’ve rented the Outer Mountain, it’s most important to protect our own stake of land. I just don’t know whether Fellow Daoist can refine a Third-tier Top-Grade Puppet?”

“Possible.”

Master Bi Shui said, “Eight years ago, I had refined a Third-tier High-grade Puppet, which was bought by Qianyuan Sect for 100,000 Spirit Stones. Does Fellow Daoist also have a need for one?”

“Indeed.”

Ning Daoran said, “If Fellow Daoist can craft Third-tier High-grade Puppets, I am willing to offer 100,000 Spirit Stones for each one, and for every Third-tier High-grade Puppet you sell to me, I will gift you one Second-Order Middle-Grade Array. How does that sound?”

A single Second-Order Middle-Grade Array is priced at around 15,000 Spirit Stones, considered a bonus. Ning Daoran didn’t really care about it, what he truly valued was the kind of Third-tier High-grade Puppets that could last a long time. Obtaining more to send back to the Chaotic Sect would ensure its enduring prosperity.

“Agreed!”

Master Bishui replied, “Fellow Daoist is indeed straightforward! May I ask if besides the Array Path, you have any other expertise?”

“I do.”

Ning Daoran said, “I am also a Third-tier Alchemist, may I inquire if you have any needs concerning Elixir Pills?”

“Ah?”

Master Bishui was greatly surprised, “You’re a Third-tier Alchemist? This poor Daoist has been disrespectful… If that is the case, may I ask if you can concoct Third-tier Elixirs such as Sheng Yuan Pills and Dragon Transformation Pills?”

Both of these pills have enormous demand during the Golden Core Stage; the Sheng Yuan Pill can refine the mana of the Golden Core Early Stage, while the Dragon Transformation Pill is an essential Elixir for breaking through to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Cultivators like Ning Daoran, who force a breakthrough without relying on pills, are quite rare.

In the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, most Cultivators are not exceptional geniuses, and each minor realm breakthrough actually requires the aid of pills; hence, Elixir Pills are always in high demand.

Perhaps the Qianyuan Sect does have Sheng Yuan Pills and Dragon Transformation Pills, but they would surely be very expensive and beyond what Master Bishui could afford.

“It’s possible.”

Ning Daoran nodded happily, “If Fellow Daoist prepares the materials, I can start the pill concoction for you. These two types of pills are entry-level Third-tier Elixirs, and my success rate is above ninety percent.”

“Really?”

Master Bishui was overjoyed, “If that’s the case, I will prepare the materials right away. I’ll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Ning with the alchemy!”

“No need for such politeness!”

Ning Daoran nodded, “However, I’d appreciate it if Fellow Daoist could help spread the word about my dual roles as a Third-tier Array Master and Alchemist, after all, I plan to make a living here in the future.”

“Of course!”

Master Bishui stroked his beard and laughed, “We, as Independent Practitioners living under others’ roofs, should indeed help each other out. Fellow Daoist Ning, rest assured, I have extensive connections in Qinzhou and will definitely help spread the word for you.”

“Agreed!”

The two struck a deal immediately, and Master Bishui hurried off to prepare the Spiritual Medicines. He had been stuck in the Golden Core Early Stage for too long, and had long wished to break through. Now that he had found a Third-tier Alchemist, he naturally cherished the opportunity.

…

“Little Bai.”

Ning Daoran said, “Starting today, set up a welcome and send-off office at the base of the mountain. From today onwards, Luoxia Peak will officially start doing business in crafting arrays and concocting pills. Since we’ve settled here, we should look like we’re settling.”

“Yes, young master!”

Little Bai giggled, “But will mass production of pills and arrays affect your cultivation, young master?”

“Did I say I’d do it myself?”

Ning Daoran responded in an expressionless voice, “Let the Class A Paperfolk do it.”

“…”

Little Bai said nothing, mentally criticizing Ning Daoran, the ruthless businessman, for exploiting the labor of the Class A Paperfolk!

Several days later.

“Swoosh swoosh~~~”

Two streams of tunneling light came from the Qianyuan Sect in the south. One landed on Qingxia Peak, the other on Luoxia Peak.

“Fellow Daoist Ning~~”

Zhang Ningxin, having resumed her appearance as a True Disciple of the Qianyuan Sect, wore a white dress and carried a sword. Her delicate face was as exquisite as a sculpture, and the aura of her Golden Core Middle Stage was fuller than ever, once again making her the greatly admired Senior Sister of many male disciples within the Qianyuan Sect.

“Immortal Ning Xin.”

Ning Daoran was outside his Cave Mansion watering flowers and raising fish, nourishing his body and soul. He smiled, “You’ve arrived?”

“Yes!”

Zhang Ningxin clapped her hand on her Spirit Beast Bag, and several delicate Spiritual Sheep jumped out. With a smile, she said, “I heard Fellow Daoist Ning is skilled at raising Spirit Beasts, and has a habit of making hot mutton pots at home, so I bought these rare Desert Spirit Sheep from Junior Brother Zhou. Their meat is firm, and the Spiritual Energy within them is extremely vigorous. You might want to try raising them.”

“Oh?”

Ning Daoran’s eyes lit up; this was indeed what he needed. He accepted them immediately and said, “Don’t leave at noon, eat at my place. I’ll show you my cooking skills!”

Zhang Ningxin had a sweet smile and nodded repeatedly.

Ning Daoran’s gaze swept across the room, a strand of Divine Sense disguised by Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique drifted toward Qingxia Peak, where he saw the esteemed senior of Liangyi Sect, the Deputy Sect Master. He was taking out a bunch of gifts from his Storage Ring.

“Fairy Liu, long time no see. I recently made a trip to the Northern Wasteland and acquired a very rare Snow Jade Spirit Mushroom that can prolong life. In addition, here is a comb made from the horn of a Fourth-tier Demon Beast, the Wildfire Rhinoceros. It is said that combing your hair with this will prevent hair loss, which makes it a perfect match for you, Fairy. Please accept it.”

“Senior Tu Yang…”

Liu Ruyan emerged from her Cave Mansion, her brows slightly furrowed, “As I’ve said before, our statuses are too different, and there is not the slightest possibility between us. The treasures you brought are so precious, how can I accept them?”

“Fairy, you misunderstand me, I…”

True Monarch Tu Yang hurried to explain.

‘Damn…’

In Ning Daoran’s shocked mind, damn you, True Monarch Tu Yang, so this is the true face of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!
