Three hundred miles away from the Dark Sparrow Valley, there was a maple forest that stretched for hundreds of miles. It was called Maple Forest. It seemed to be an abandoned forest garden of a cultivator family, but now, it was barren and uninhabited.
There were still three days left until the disciple recruitment ceremony of Sinister Sparrow Sect. In the sky above the desolate maple forest, a splendid ten-thousand-zhang-long fortress ship suddenly appeared!
On the ship, three Harmonious Spirit experts were flying in the sky. One was casting an ice magical technique, one was controlling a purple demonic pet, and the last one was wearing a monastic robe and holding a sword. They attacked one after another, cutting down the forest.
In just half an hour, the forest was razed to the ground by the three of them!
Occasionally, the experts that passed by would think that it was a Golden Core Realm old monster traveling when they saw the three thousand zhang long ship and the eerie glow of treasures, so they all avoided it, not daring to spy on it.
It seemed that the mysterious Gold Core old monster wanted to build a city in this barren mountain. The only thing that puzzled them was why would a Gold Core expert like this Maple Forest.
This place had no mountains, no water, and no spiritual Qi. It was too wasteful to build a city here.
The ship landed on the ground. 1400 evil cultivators came down from the ship as if they had received an order to build houses with the wood on the ground. Then, a young man and two women came down from the ship.
The young man pointed his finger and the thousand zhang ship turned into a palm-sized golden ship and was kept into his storage pouch.
The young man's face was pale and his injuries were severe. But he forced himself to control the construction and layout of the houses. From time to time, he would use immortal jades, immortal ores, and divine sense to connect with the Heaven and Earth to set up a grand formation.
The physical strength of cultivators far surpassed that of mortals. Under the guidance of the young man, it only took half a day for the 1,400 devil cultivators to build 2,000 wooden houses. The houses were arranged in a circular shape, which was in line with the formation. They were surrounded by a wall that was thirty feet tall, and there was only one gate.
The young man used fifty thousand immortal jades and countless rare immortal ores to set up a Core Realm defensive formation around the city wall. With this formation, even Gold Core old monsters wouldn't dare to come here. But the young man frowned, still not satisfied.
The wooden houses and stone city can only defend against beasts. If it is attacked by cultivators, it will certainly collapse. Moreover, this is a barren mountain with thin spiritual qi, which is disadvantageous to the cultivation of the Three God Armies … Fine, I'll let the Three God Armies stay here for the time being. In the future, I'll get some immortal mines and spiritual veins to transform the environment and rebuild the city! "
The young man was none other than Ning Fan who had come from afar. Arriving at the western region of the Yue Kingdom, far from Seven Apricot City, the first task was to establish a base of operations.
A city of three miles and a city of seven miles was barely livable.
On top of the city gate, Situ Sword Qi trembled and wrote the two words' Ning City '. Ning City meant the city of Ning Fans!
Ning Fan had little interest in joining the Sinister Sparrow Sect. If it wasn't because he wanted to repay the old monster's favor, if it wasn't because he wanted to steal some Mysterious Yin Qi, he wouldn't have been willing to join the Sinister Sparrow Sect even if his so-called fiancée was here.
Two thousand houses and a seven-kilometer city. The scale was pitifully small, and the materials used to build the city were extremely ordinary.
Seven Apricot City was built with Profound Ice, and its defense was astonishing. The Heaven Separation School was built with Jade Jades and had an oppressive spirit energy. Ning City, if a master architect were to see this city, he would laugh incessantly.
Ning City, other than a passable defensive formation, the materials used could be described as simple and crude. There was nothing remarkable about it.
Sisi, you open the underground fire vein, I want to open a dan refinement room in the city.
While everyone was busy, Ning Fan ordered Si Wuxie to open the earth vein in order to use the earth fire to refine dans. What he was refining was naturally the Jade Royal Dan!
He didn't think that once the earth vein was opened, it would cause a small trouble that was negligible.
...
In one day, a new Ning City was added to the Western Yue Kingdom.
However, during this period of time, the Yue Kingdom's evil sects were holding their disciple recruitment ceremonies, so no one paid attention to Ning City.
The only one that was hostile to Ning City was the Western Yue Kingdom's cultivation clan, the Lu Clan.
The Lu Clan's Patriarch, Lu Nanzi, was a peak Harmonious Spirit expert, only one step away from forming a Gold Core. He was also proficient in the Body Refinement Technique and was quite famous in the Yue Kingdom. The location that Ning Fan chose to build Ning City, the Maple Forest, was actually an abandoned forest garden of the Lu Clan.
Decades ago, the Maple Forest was rich in a type of Fire Maple Fruit. This fruit could refine one's body and was quite expensive, bringing endless benefits to the Lu Clan. Later, due to the change of the terrain, the fire vein was blocked, and the tree stopped growing. The Maple Forest was also abandoned by the Lu Clan.
A group of evil cultivators occupied the Maple Forest and built Ning City. This news was impossible for Lu Nanzi to not know, but he didn't pay attention to it in the beginning.
It was just an abandoned forest garden, if it was lost, then so be it. There was nothing to fuss about.
But the next news made Lu Nanzi unable to stay calm, his eyes were burning with excitement.
The fire vein at the bottom of the Maple Forest was opened by someone with great magical power!
The fire vein is opened, doesn't that mean that the Fire Maple Fruit can grow again? Lu Nanzi was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, he was cursing in his heart. That year, when the fire vein was blocked in the Maple Forest, he couldn't open it even with his peak Harmonious Spirit magical power. Today, a group of evil cultivators built a broken city and accidentally opened the fire vein. This group of evil cultivators was really lucky.
But now that the fire vein was opened, this Maple Forest couldn't be given to this group of evil cultivators to build a city
He stroked his beard, his eyes lit up, and looked at the old servant beside him. Lu Ming, who is the person who occupied the Maple Forest? What is his cultivation, origin, and background?
Reporting to Patriarch, this old servant has sent people to investigate. The so-called Ning City is called a city, but in fact, it is very simple and inconspicuous. This Ning City shouldn't have any background, perhaps it is a new force.
A new force? This is also possible. En, let me think. Ning City. I think the lord of this city is surnamed Ning, surnamed Ning. There doesn't seem to be a force with the surname Ning in Yue Country. How about this, you bring the Southern House Battle Guards to drive this group of evil cultivators out of the boundary of the Maple Forest. Don't kill them if you can. Of course, if they are stubborn, you don't have to be merciful.
What? Master wants this old servant to bring the Southern House Battle Guards!
The old servant named Lu Ming revealed a shocked expression.
In the Cultivation World, generally, a big force would use their experts to form a battle guard using a formation. For example, the Old Devil had three battle guards, the Ice Guards, the Apricot Guards, and the Sword Guards. And the Yue Country's Lu Family had a 500 man Southern House Battle Guards, ranked seventeenth in the Yue Country's Battle Guard List. Even the battle guards of some big sects were not as powerful as the Lu Family.
The Southern House Battle Guards had a cultivation of Fourth Level Vein Opening and above. These 500 men were well trained. If they were sent out, they could probably destroy a small family.
Lu Ming couldn't understand why the Patriarch would use the Southern House Battle Guards to deal with a new force. Isn't this like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?
Isn't the Patriarch being a little too cautious?
He swallowed his saliva and whispered, Patriarch, don't send the Southern House Battle Guards. This old servant alone, a dignified early Harmonious Spirit expert, is more than enough to destroy a small city.
Lu Ming, you are good at everything except for one shortcoming, you are too arrogant. Remember, no matter how weak the enemy is, you must go all out. Like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, spare no effort. This sentence, remember it well. Go
After Lu Nanzi finished, he closed his eyes and no longer spoke.
And Lu Ming didn't dare to disobey Lu Nanzi's order. He went out and gathered 500 Southern House Battle Guards. Under the cover of the night, they rushed towards Ning City.
500 Southern House Battle Guards, each of them was at Fourth Level Vein Opening. They were riding strange beasts with an imposing manner. Along the way, when the cultivators saw the Southern House Battle Guards of the Western Yue Lu Family coming out in full force, they hurriedly ran away in surprise.
The Lu Family sent out the Southern House Battle Guards again. This time, which evil sect are they going to destroy?
Look, the early Harmonious Spirit Commander Lu Ming personally leading the army. Tsk tsk, to be able to see the glory of a Harmonious Spirit senior, this life is not in vain.
Along the way, there were occasional discussions between cultivators. Mixed with the sound of horse hooves, it entered Lu Ming's ears, making him even more impatient.
The Patriarch is making a mountain out of a molehill. To destroy a small Ning City, he actually sent out the Southern House Battle Guards.
Two hours later, the Southern House Battle Guards had traveled a few hundred li. In the distance, an inconspicuous small city appeared.
Lu Ming was, after all, a Harmonious Spirit expert. With his experience, he could naturally see that the building materials used in this so-called Peace City were just ordinary stones and wood, not worth mentioning, so he disdained it.
He waved his hand. Ten li away from Ning City, the Southern House Battle Guards stopped their horses.
Then, his divine sense moved. Under the waning moon, an arrogant voice resounded throughout the entire Ning City.
This old man is Lu Ming, the commander of the Southern House Battle Guards of the Lu Family. I have come to reclaim Ning City. Lord of Ning City, this old man will give you ten breaths of time to come out and see me. If you surrender, this old man can spare your life.
Lu Ming squinted his old eyes. Sitting on the unicorn, he had the bearing of a senior.
The corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. His early Harmonious Spirit divine sense didn't scare the evil cultivators of Ning City, right?
The evil cultivators living in this dilapidated Ning City must be country bumpkins. How could they have seen a Harmonious Spirit expert before?
He was sneering in disdain. Suddenly, his smile froze on his face. His old eyes widened in disbelief.
Because of excessive fear, the muscles on his old face cramped. His face became distorted, making him look ridiculous. He couldn't even speak clearly.
"Three … Three Harmonious Spirit experts … Two intermediate … One late … And … so many … men …"
Under the moonlight, Nangong, Situ, and Yuchi stood in the sky. Their Harmonious Spirit Qi was released arrogantly. Each of them had a murderous look on their faces. And the 1400 evil cultivators, in just a few breaths, rushed out of Ning City like a tidal wave. Then, they quickly arranged themselves into three large formations.
Yin and Yang Chaotic Apricot Formation, Three Talent Killing Sword Formation, and Four Ice Emperor Formation!
1400 people. The lowest cultivation was Fifth Level Vein Opening. The killing intent that these 1400 people had been hiding for 40 years was released on this night!
What kind of bullshit is this? How dare you disturb our Young Noble Ning's dream in the middle of the night? You don't want to live anymore!
Yuchi's face was flushed. He was holding the little purple pig and laughing. His intermediate Harmonious Spirit magical power rolled out. Commander Lu Ming coughed out blood and fell off his horse. He was terrified to death.
Young Noble Ning? Who is Young Noble Ning? To be able to command three tyrannical battle guards and have three Harmonious Spirit experts as his subordinates, this Young Noble Ning was not a nobody in Yue Country.
It's over. This time, our Lu Family has kicked a big iron plate
Kill! This father's broadsword is already thirsting for blood! "Yuchi took the lead and the Three Black Demon Armies immediately surrounded the Southern House Battle Guards. It was a one-sided battle.
...
Half an hour later, 300 of the Southern House Battle Guards were dead and 200 were captured. Commander Lu Ming was beaten half to death by Yuchi and was captured.
Outside of Ning City, there was a commotion. Inside the newly opened alchemy room, Ning Fan's spirit sense swept through the room. He smiled. The situation outside had already entered his eyes.
Not bad, it seems like I don't need to do anything. The Three Black Demon Armies trained by Master are really extraordinary.
He recollected his thoughts and concentrated on alchemy. The ground in front of him had a three zhang fire pit. The earth fire was drawn out from the ground.
Above the fire pit was the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron. The eight fire dragons were sealed inside the Yin Yang Locket. At this moment, the cauldron was refining the Jade Royal Dan.
The Jade Royal Dan was not complicated to concoct. It was only a Fourth Revolution Dan, but its ingredients were extremely rare.
The supplementary ingredients were fine, but the two most important ingredients were Jade Royal Grass and Coiling Evil Grass. These two grasses were known to be hard to find by Immortal Emperors. The Jade Royal Dan concocted with these grasses had the heaven-defying effect of cleansing the marrow.
It could improve one's cultivation physique and increase the strength of the body. Rumor has it that after consuming the Jade Royal Dan, one could finally cultivate a Transcendent Immortal Body. At that time, even an immemorial divine weapon would not be able to break the defense of the body. It could be called immortal!
However, the ingredients for this Jade Royal Dan were hard to find. Moreover, there was a harsh condition for consuming it. One had to be seriously injured. The so-called reconstruction after destruction. Without destruction, there would be no reconstruction. If you don't shatter your bones and break your meridians, how can you truly reshape your body and cleanse the marrow?
Just removing the impurities from the body was not enough. Even after removing the impurities from the cotton, could it still turn into steel?
Ning Fans body had been malnourished since he was young. His physique was weak, and now he was seriously injured, with broken bones and damaged meridians.
This body could not be any more broken. And this was the perfect time to take the Jade Royal Dan.
In the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron, a wisp of pill fragrance came out. Outside the cauldron, there was a spiritual fluctuation.
There was still half a day before the Jade Royal Dan would be completed!
The sky gradually brightened. Five hundred miles away, the Lu Family was in a mess.
Lu Nanzi had a comfortable sleep, but when he woke up, Lu Ming and the Southern House Battle Guards had not returned.
Strange Mobilizing the seventeenth ranked Battle Guard in Yue Countrys to destroy a small new city, why did it take so long? Not even one night was enough?
"Could it be that there's been some sort of accident? Hehe, how could it be? Lu Ming's temper is a bit wild, but he is still a Harmonious Spirit expert. With the Southern House Battle Guards' formation, even a Gold Core old monster would have to retreat. En, this old man is thinking too much. Perhaps Lu Ming had some matters on the way and was delayed. He will be back in a while.
He waited and waited until noon, but Lu Ming still had not returned. Lu Nanzi's eyelids kept twitching, and his heart was faintly uneasy.
He took out a jade talisman. This talisman was called the Sound Transmitting Talisman. It was divided into a main talisman and a sub talisman. As long as the talisman was within a thousand miles, the person holding it could communicate.
Making a hand seal, Lu Nanzi cleared his throat and smilingly scolded the talisman. Lu Ming, come back quickly! How long do you want to spend to destroy a Ning city
There was no reply from the other side of the talisman.
Lu Ming? Answer me!
There was no reply.
Not good, could it be that something happened! Lu Nanzi was shocked. Lu Ming was a Harmonious Spirit expert, leading the Southern House Battle Guards out. How could something happen? What could happen?
But if nothing happened to Lu Ming, how could he not respond when he called him!
While Lu Nanzi was still in shock, a feminine man's voice came from the other side of the talisman. Even through the talisman, Lu Nanzi felt a chill in his soul.
Such a profound ice spirit force cultivation!
My name is Nangong, your people are in my hands. Hehe, if you want to ransom them, come to Ning city and discuss the conditions.
On this day, in the cultivation world of Yue Countrys, there was a shocking kidnapping and extortion case. And Ning city, for the first time, entered the sight of an expert!
