Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 487 - 485: Land of Great Evil

Several months later.

A figure of incomparable beauty once again appeared in Fish-Dragon Square; the Holy Daughter of Wind Snow Tower had returned.

"Seal Master Ning."

Bai Feiyu came to the shop, her figure graceful and stunning to behold.

She gave Ning Daoran the impression of two words: serene beauty. She might not have the striking appearance like Lin Man, but her temperament was exceptionally refined, exuding an extremely quiet and virtuous aura.

"Fairy Bai is here?"

Ning Daoran stood up, smiling, "Please come in. Little Bai, serve the tea."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Little Bai brewed two cups of tea and attended to the Holy Daughter of Wind Snow Tower beneath the ginkgo tree in the backyard of the shop.

"I heard that after Fairy Bai left last time, you were ambushed by Robbery cultivators in the Green Leaf Forest and were injured. I, Ning, was concerned for a time, but seeing the Fairy unharmed and personally coming to collect your order, I can rest easy."

"Oh?"

Bai Feiyu smiled lightly, "Seal Master Ning... you’re kind, thank you!"

As she spoke, she sipped her tea and then glanced at Little Bai serving alongside, "Who is she?"

"I am the Young Master’s maid, Little Bai."

"Oh..."

Bai Feiyu nodded with a smile, "Seal Master Ning’s taste is indeed not bad. A maid of such beauty is rare to see even throughout Sangyu Country."

"Cough cough..."

Ning Daoran said, "I met Little Bai by chance. Back then, she had not started cultivation and was extremely poor. I took her in as a maid and brought her along on my cultivating journey. It’s only now that she has reached such cultivation. Ah, my feelings for Little Bai are complex, like a lord like a father, and when I get old, perhaps I’ll find a good family to marry her off to, so this heavy stone weighing on my heart can finally be set down."

Little Bai silently scoffed to herself, Just keep making up stories!

"Oh?"

Bai Feiyu gave a small smile, "So that’s how it is. I was presumptuous just now and thought Seal Master Ning was one to indulge in pleasures, and this maid was actually a bedwarmer."

Ning Daoran felt a bit awkward, Such thoughts dare not arise. Lin Man will return sooner or later. With her sharp wits, if she notices any clue, wouldn’t the sky fall!

"Seal Master Ning."

Bai Feiyu, with a profound look in her eyes, said apologetically, "Regarding the last order... I was heavily injured in the ambush, and the Storage Bag containing the order was stolen by the Robbery cultivators, so Feiyu has come without the order. Can I rely on this face to pick up the goods?"

Ning Daoran’s mind stirred.

Last time Bai Feiyu placed an order, only he and Bai Feiyu knew the detailed contents, but when Han Liang came, he blurted out the hundred Third-tier Lower Grade Talismans that Bai Feiyu had ordered.

Good on you, Han Liang, to be such a wealthy fool. As a Golden Core cultivator, to act so carelessly.

"No problem."

Ning Daoran nodded and then used the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique to sense Bai Feiyu’s Divine Soul, used the Grey Eyes Technique to check if she had altered her appearance, and then scanned her from head to toe with his Divine Sense.

"Fairy Bai, I must verify your identity. Please do not take offense."

"It’s alright."

Never had Bai Feiyu been scrutinized so thoroughly; her pretty face blushed with embarrassment, "This was indeed Feiyu’s fault, I’m the one troubling Seal Master Ning."

"You are too courteous, Fairy."

Ning Daoran took out a hundred Talismans, "I would ask Fairy to leave a receipt as proof for Ning."

"That’s only right!"

Bai Feiyu promptly wrote down a list, her handwriting exceptionally elegant.

"Done."

Ning Daoran accepted the list, smiling, "If there’s a need for more Talismans, Ning will be sure to accommodate."

"Mhm!"

Bai Feiyu put the Talismans into her Storage Bag and smiled, "Since that’s the case, Feiyu will take her leave, Seal Master Ning. We will meet again another time."

"Safe travels, Fairy!"

Ning Daoran watched as Bai Feiyu departed.

Would she be ambushed again this time?

Probably not.

When Ning Daoran extended his Golden Core Divine Sense to scan the Green Leaf Forest hundreds of miles away, he sensed a very strong Gold Core Late Stage presence, along with several Gold Core Mid Stage presences.

Without a doubt, it was Wind Snow Tower Master Bai Ying personally leading a group of Wind Snow Tower Experts to escort her.

This time, Bai Feiyu was clearly fishing. If those Robbery cultivators really made another move, with the elite forces of Wind Snow Tower emerging, few of those Robbery cultivators would be able to escape intact.

Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless. Indeed, wherever there are cultivators, there lies Jianghu, with the three major forces of Hidden Dragon Sect, Wind Snow Tower, and Fish-Dragon Square converging upon Dragon King Mountain, a true tempest brewing!

Fortunately, all this had nothing to do with him.

...

Several months later.

After accumulating a certain number of Talismans, Ning Daoran had Little Bai watch over the shop while he used Earth Tunneling to leave. He had settled near Dragon King Mountain for nearly a year, and it was time for him to explore this mountain range and seek his own fortune.

About half a month later.

Deep in the ancient forest, roars of wild beasts echoed. The rugged old pines extended from the abrupt rock walls, and at this time, Ning Daoran sat on the branches of an old pine.

In the deep of the night, strands of faint light gathered from all directions.

Ning Daoran one by one called back the Fire Devouring Ants, which had fused with Divine Souls. They shook their heads and wagged their antennae, reporting back to their master about their scouting mission, but most returned empty-handed.

The Dragon King Essence in the Dragon King Mountain was indeed plentiful, but alas, the aura of the Dragon King Essence was exceptionally well concealed, making it incredibly difficult to locate.

"Squeak squeak~~"

Suddenly, one of the Fire Devouring Ants landed in the palm of Ning Daoran’s hand, frantically moving its antennae and squeaking loudly, signaling urgency. Ning Daoran’s heart tightened—something big had come!

This Fire Devouring Ant had actually discovered a treasure trove with a vast amount of Dragon King Essence. If he could capture this treasure, it would provide a reliable source for his cultivation of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture!

"Lead the way, go!" freewebnσvel.cøm

With a light shout, he flew out following the Fire Devouring Ant.

Dawn, the first light of daybreak enveloped the east.

The Fire Devouring Ant "whooshed" and disappeared into a crevice in the rocks ahead. Ning Daoran immediately accelerated, transforming into a bolt of lightning. With a "Peng," Instant Teleportation was successful, and after passing through a mountain wall, an ancient valley appeared in front of him with the Fire Devouring Ant still buzzing and leading the way.

After flying for about an hour, the morning light was about to penetrate the clouds.

"Hmm?"

Ning Daoran rushed into a fog, and shortly after releasing his Divine Sense, he found a treasure underground. Indeed, tens of feet beneath the surface lay a treasure!

When Ning Daoran used his Divine Sense to inspect it, he saw that the treasure resembled a perfect square boulder, approximately ten feet on each side. Its surface was covered with mottled patterns, glowing deep red—it was a massive chunk of Dragon King Essence, terrifyingly large!

’I’m going...’

Ning Daoran’s heart raced with excitement. If he could truly take this large piece of Dragon King Essence into his pocket, there would indeed be no more worries about Dragon Demon Essence in the future. He might even allocate some as a gift to Shen Luoyan, to curry favor with Shen Building Master.

However, the treasure of Dragon Demon Essence was surrounded by more than a hundred layers of Ancient Restrictions, which were extremely tricky.

Fortunately, the treasure had encountered a Fourth-tier Mid Grade Array Master!

"Alright, let’s begin!"

Ning Daoran clenched his fists, joints cracking, and quickly cast a spell. He tunneled into the depths of the earth and soon arrived at a huge underground space.

The enormous chunk of Dragon Demon Essence was right before his eyes, and around it, "zzt zzt," strands of lightning flickered—the 100-plus layers of restrictions.

When a lizard from deep underground approached, it was "snap crackle" instantly turned to ash by a strand of lightning from the restrictions, looking extremely frightening!

Ning Daoran slapped his Storage Bag, taking out a large amount of Array Formation Restriction materials. He began placing restrictions around the perimeter, while using Fire Devouring Ants and continuously casting breaking spells to resolve the Restrictions.

After about an hour like this, he had only breached one layer of the Prohibition.

Fully unlocking the Prohibition would probably take at least ten days to half a month.

Fortunately, having cultivated for many years, what Ning Daoran lacked in other areas, he more than made up for in patience, so he settled in for half a month.

...

"Zzt zzt~~"

Ahead, only the last layer of restriction remained on the Dragon Demon Essence. Once breached, it could be taken into his Storage Ring!

Ning Daoran had many Storage Rings for collection, among which No-Action True Monarch’s ring had the largest space, enough to take in this entire chunk of Dragon King Essence!

However, just as he was about to breach the last layer of prohibition, a breath suddenly fell from the sky, then turned into a tunneling light, appearing not far from Ning Daoran.

It was a late stage Golden Core elder, wearing a tall hat and wide belt, exuding the aura of an old Immortal.

"Little friend."

The old Immortal narrowed his eyes, smiling, "Such a huge piece of Dragon King Essence, I’m afraid it’s too much for you alone. I have a suggestion—how about you and I share this Essence, what do you think, little friend?"

"Fellow Daoist is good at calculating."

Ning Daoran frowned, already intent on killing, said: "If Fellow Daoist truly fancies this treasure, why don’t you try to solve this last guarding prohibition. Don’t wait until everything is done by me and then appear, such opportunistic behavior is quite contemptible."

"Haha, indeed!"

The old Immortal actually planned to take action. He clapped his hands together, swiftly casting dozens of spells. He seemed prepared; he was also a Talisman Master, with a rather high grade!

Ning Daoran frowned, ceased breaking the array, called back the Fire Devouring Ants, and took out the Qiushui Sword. He would wait for the old Immortal to open the restriction before killing him and then seizing the treasure.

For such shameless cultivators, there was no need for courtesy.

...

"Hmm?"

Just as the last layer of restriction was about to be broken, the old Immortal suddenly trembled all over, eyes filled with disbelief: "How could this be? How could this..."

Next moment, a breath emanated from the treasure, locking onto the old Immortal’s Divine Soul. A sinister skull emerged and blew a breath of foul air at the old man.

"No..."

The old Immortal screamed as if he had seen a ghost. Holes rapidly appeared on his face, his body, and in the blink of an eye, the other’s breath corroded through his flesh, leaving him full of holes, dying instantly!

’Not good!’

Ning Daoran turned to leave. His years of Cultivation experience and intuition told him that this place harbored a Great Evil!
