Chapter 104: Attacked
Chu Ning was still received this time, but after hearing that Chu Ning just wanted to buy some spiritual plant seeds and talismans, he was taken directly to the spiritual plant area.
Finding the place where the orchid was sold last time, Chu Ning inquired about it, and sure enough, there was a batch of orchid seeds.
But there are only a hundred.
Chu Ning spent one hundred and twenty spiritual stones to buy all the seeds of these orchids.
Immediately, he walked around the area again and spent hundreds of spirit stones to buy some seeds that he thought might be used in the future.
Then, Chu Ning came to the talisman sales area.
Chu Ning can make the elementary high-grade talisman by himself, so of course he is not interested.
What he was looking at at the moment was an intermediate and low-grade talisman.
Compared with the primary talismans, the intermediate talismans are at a much different stage.
Elementary high-grade talismans can probably only be compared with the spells of monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
Even if the ninth-level Qi Refining monks have powerful spells, this elementary high-grade talisman is incomparable.
As for the intermediate and low-grade talismans, they can completely compete with the powerful spells in the Qi Refining Dzogchen realm.
Even the ordinary monk spells at the early stage of construction can be compared.
At that time, the price was naturally higher.
An intermediate low-grade attack talisman costs 100 low-grade spiritual stones, while a defensive talisman costs 200 low-grade spiritual stones.
Chu Ning did not buy the attack talismans. Instead, he spent 1,000 spirit stones to buy 5 intermediate and low-grade defensive talismans in case of emergency.
Compared with attacking, Chu Ning's consistent idea is to defend first to save his life.
After leaving Yunhai Pavilion again, Chu Ning looked at the time.
It was still too early to reach the one-hour appointment.
So I just started strolling around Fengxiafang.
After all, the last time he came here with Lin Changqing, he was in a hurry and didn't take a careful look.
After walking around, Chu Ning discovered that Fengxiafang was indeed much larger than Qinghefang.
And what surprised Chu Ning a little was that there was a place specifically for casual cultivators to trade.
Casual cultivators can freely set up stalls on this street and conduct transactions.
Each casual cultivator sells a variety of things, such as talismans, magic weapons, elixirs, etc.
This had never been seen in Qinghefang, and Chu Ning immediately started shopping with great interest.
But after looking at it for a while, Chu Ning couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The things here are still too low-level, and most of them are still used by monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training.
There are very few things for him to use in the later stage of Qi training.
Even if there is one, it is relatively ordinary.
"Presumably the kind of magic weapon that Boss Liu and the others carry can still be used in a place like this."
Chu Ning turned around with this thought in her mind, and then secretly shook her head.
Yanjifang is still too close to Fengxiafang.
Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu should not take out these things.
Chu Ning didn't know if there were a few familiar people here.
He is not short of spiritual stones now, but don't get into trouble because of this.
While Chu Ning was walking like this, a sound of conversation came into his ears and aroused his interest.
"This is just a fragment of a magic weapon, and you still want a hundred spiritual stones. Are you crazy?"
"What happened to the magic weapon fragments? Those who can refine magic weapons must have good materials.
If you don't want to buy it, leave. Don't get in the way. I only sell to people who know the goods. "
Chu Ning followed the sound and looked over, but saw a thin old man in his fifties standing in front of a middle-aged man's stall not far to the left.
The sound was the conversation between the two.
When the thin old man heard what the big man said, he did not leave. Instead, he continued to stand there, smiling and shaking his head:
"Refining magic weapons requires the use of good materials, but this one is obviously made from a fusion of several materials.
It must be used to make exclusive magic weapons. No matter how good the material is, it is useless for us to hold it.
If the damaged magic weapon is complete and incomplete, it is still about the same. After some damaged magic weapon is damaged, although it cannot exert its original power.
But when used under certain conditions, the power is still very good. "
Fragments of a magic weapon? Incomplete magic weapon? When Chu Ning heard these words, she walked over there with some interest.
In fact, the conversation between the two not only attracted Chu Ning's attention, but many people around him also gathered around.
The middle-aged man suddenly had a sneer on his face when he heard what the old man said.
"If there is a damaged and incomplete magic weapon, can I still offer 100 spiritual stones?"
The thin old man had a really good temper. Even though the middle-aged man spoke like this, he wasn't angry at all.
He just shook his head and smiled, said no more words, and then walked away.
The thin old man left, but many other monks were still watching.
Chu Ning was a little curious and was about to go forward to see what this so-called magic weapon fragment was.
However, a young man quickly squeezed in, and then picked up a gray-black object in front of the middle-aged man.
"Fellow Taoist, are these magic weapon fragments really 100 spiritual stones?"
The young man asked and waited until the middle age was determined.
He quickly took out some spiritual stones from his body, gave them to the middle-aged man, and then left quickly without looking back.
The speed was so fast that no one else had a chance to react.
When Chu Ning saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He has never seen any of the so-called magic weapon fragments.
Although 100 spiritual stones is not a small amount, for him, it is just a matter of a few talismans.
It's a pity that it was a step too late.
Shaking his head, Chu Ning could only lament that this thing had no connection with him.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Chu Ning continued to walk forward.
After walking for a short while, he saw the thin old man from before turning back from the front.
Turning his head slightly, Chu Ning was surprised to find that the thin old man actually walked up to the middle-aged man again.
Then, the middle-aged man took out a few spiritual stones and handed them to him.
This scene immediately made Chu Ning open his mouth slightly.
Good guy, it turns out that this thin old man is actually a stooge?
I just saw him looking good-tempered and experienced, which was really confusing.
At this moment, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh for the young man who looked like he belonged to a cultivating family.
The other party is at the fourth level of Qi refining, and these one hundred spiritual stones are not a small amount.
After seeing this, Chu Ning was even less interested in shopping here.
Presumably this place is where low-level casual cultivators trade, and there won't be anything good there.
So, Chu Ning turned around and left.
At this time, Chu Ning glanced around and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
It was actually the first day the market opened, and the spiritual farmer exchanged the green spirit fruit seeds with himself for the purple sweet potato fruit.
At this moment, he was squatting there with a sad face, with several low-quality spiritual plants placed on his face.
"At the bottom of this world of immortality, life is actually very difficult. People in the world only want to practice well, but they really don't have the talent or opportunity. This kind of practice..."
Chu Ning felt a little sigh in her heart and decided not to go forward, lest the spiritual farmer see her embarrassed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked towards the gatehouse of Fangshi.
Chu Ning was the first to arrive. After a while, Shen Zhengquan and Gu Xiaoqing arrived one after another.
A few people chatted for a while before Luo Yiping and Lu Miaoying arrived.
"Hey, you are all earlier. Since everyone is here, let's go."
Luo Yiping looked like he had gained a lot, his face was very happy, and he took the initiative to speak.
Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan responded one after another, but Chu Ning said with an ugly face at this moment:
"Wait a moment!"
After hearing this, several people looked at Chu Ning in confusion.
At this moment, Chu Ning felt inexplicably horrified.
It’s not surprising that Chu Ning reacted like this, because just now, a figure flashed past.
He actually saw the man in black who appeared outside Qingxi Fufang on the day of the beast disaster.
Combining what happened during the beast disaster later, Chu Ning concluded that those people were most likely members of the Yin Demon Sect.
"Why are the people from the Yin Demon Sect here? Are they here specifically for me and others?
Or is it that this person is not from the Yin Demon Sect, so he was not eliminated by the sect in the first place? "
For Chu Ning, no matter what the situation was, the moment he saw the person, he vaguely felt danger.
"Chun Ning, what exactly do you want to say?"
While Chu Ning was thinking about it, she didn't speak immediately.
Luo Yiping suddenly shouted with dissatisfaction.
Chu Ning ignored the impatience in the other party's words and said in a deep voice:
"I just thought I saw someone following you sneakily."
"What?" Hearing Chu Ning's words, Luo Yiping turned his head in surprise.
Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan did the same at the same time, and they all looked towards the city.
However, at this moment, people are coming and going in the city, and nothing can be seen anywhere.
Luo Yiping turned around and asked Chu Ning with a puzzled look on his face: "Where is the person you are talking about?"
"He saw me looking over and walked away."
Chu Ning also frowned slightly at this moment. The man just passed by from afar, but now he has walked away.
When Luo Yiping heard this, he immediately looked disapproving.
"Are you dazzled? How come someone is following me in Fengxiafang? And even if I am, can you still see me?"
As soon as Luo Yiping said this, Shen Zhengquan also looked at Chu Ning with some suspicion.
"It's not dazzling. There was really a man in black following you just now."
Chu Ning's face was determined and serious. This was obviously not the time to compete with Luo Yiping.
If someone from the Yin Demon Sect really appears, the most important thing is to work together to survive this disaster.
At this time, he even took the initiative to guide a few people to think in that direction and said:
"Didn't Yin Demon Sect disciples attack you before the beast disaster? Is it possible that they are one of them?"
"Yin Demon Sect?" After hearing Chu Ning's words, the faces of several people changed.
During that beast disaster, several of them suffered a lot from the people of the Yin Demon Sect.
But soon, Luo Yiping raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"Then it's even more impossible. Last time, the deacons of our sect's foundation-building period teamed up with Feng Canyon to clean up the surrounding areas. How could there be so many people from the Yin Demon Sect."
Gu Xiaoqing's face looked serious at this time and said:
"It's better to believe that it's true than to believe that it's not. Without further ado, we'd better leave as soon as possible. Later we'll fly with all our strength, regardless of mana consumption.
I have some Yuan Yuan Pills here that I can share with everyone to restore mana in time.
Let’s all be more careful and take care of each other on the road. "
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoqing took out several bottles of elixirs from the storage bag and distributed them to several people.
Chu Ning sighed inwardly. As of now, it seems that this is all she can do.
He actually wanted to look around the city to see if there were any monks in the foundation-building stage who could give him and others a ride.
But obviously, even if you find it, even if you find it, you may not send it to yourself and others.
As for Lin Changqing and Du Han, it is impossible to contact them.
Gu Xiaoqing still made sense. It was most important to return to Yanjifang as quickly as possible.
"There are too few teleportation arrays in the sects near the Qingxia Mountains. Only teleportation arrays are set up at very long distances.
After all, it's because none of the seven sects in the Qingxia Mountains are good at this array."
Chu Ning secretly complained in his heart at this moment.
When the others saw Gu Xiaoqing saying this, they didn't say anything else.
Several people took out magic weapons and flying swords from their storage bags, soared into the air, and quickly flew towards Yanjifang.
The five people were still the same as when they came.
Gu Xiaoqing, who was the strongest, took the lead in urging the flying sword with all his strength, and swept forward like a startling rainbow.
Shen Zhengquan followed closely behind in a flying boat carrying Lu Miaoying.
Chu Ning was in the middle of the line driving the wind-chasing shuttle. His magic weapon level was actually higher than Shen Zhengquan's, and it was easier to control the speed.
If he wasn't afraid of being left alone, he would have left directly.
As a result, Luo Yiping fell behind.
He used all his strength to drive the flying sword, but he could not reach Chu Ning, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Especially after flying for a while, he replenished a Huiyuan Pill, but Chu Ning did not react at all, which made him feel a little jealous.
Flying with a sword consumes much more mana than this flying magic weapon.
So, Luo Yiping, who was a little unbalanced, finally couldn't help but shouted softly:
"Chu Ning, did you see it clearly just now?
You didn't deliberately tease us and make us rush so hard, did you?"
Chu Ning was speechless that the other party would have such a stupid idea, so naturally he didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, Luo Yiping was more and more convinced that Chu Ning had something to hide.
He actually stopped directly at this moment, and shouted at the same time:
"Mr. Chu, tell me clearly, are you kidding me?"
Chu Ning never expected that Luo Yiping would be so arrogant and brainless.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan in front of him were about to stop, he continued to fly forward on the wind-chasing shuttle.
"My cultivation is low, and I won't joke with my life."
After saying this, Chu Ning passed Gu Xiaoqing and flew forward at a constant speed.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan, who had just stopped, continued to fly forward.
Seeing this, Luo Yiping could only grit his teeth and follow the crowd.
Chu Ning flew less than five miles in front of the team, and his speed dropped slightly.
Rushing in the front like this still made him feel insecure.
He intended to return to the middle of the team again.
But at this moment, Chu Ning suddenly became alert.
Almost subconsciously, he immediately activated the silver crystal frost bamboo shield that he had already held in his hand and blocked it in front of him.
At the same time, in front of Chu Ning, four figures suddenly rose into the air.
At the same time, three rays of light mixed with red and black shot directly at Chu Ning and others.
Chu Ning, who was at the front, was naturally the first to be hit.
The strong power of the attack shocked Chu Ning.
As the wind-chasing shuttle was about to flash to the side, he activated a mid-level defensive talisman at the fastest speed to protect his body.
At the same time, the Nine-evolution Body Refining Technique was fully activated.
Chu Ning's reaction was not slow, but the speed of the red and black light was too fast.
It was so fast that he had just moved, and the three red and black lights had already flashed over.
"Pop! Pop!"
Two black lights hit the mid-level low-grade defensive talisman shield outside Chu Ning's body, and the defensive shield that could withstand the attack of a cultivator in the perfect state of Qi Refining was instantly broken.
Then, the other red and black light directly hit the silver crystal frost bamboo shield in front of Chu Ning.
The next moment, Chu Ning's face changed drastically.
The silver crystal frost bamboo shield only resisted for a short while, and was actually directly pierced.
The red-black light, which was a little weaker, hit him directly.
"Puff!"
After being hit by the red-black light that broke through the multiple layers of defense, Chu Ning's body made a dull sound.
Then, he flew backwards with this force.
This scene was too fast. When Gu Xiaoqing, Shen Zhengquan and others reacted.
They had already seen Chu Ning being knocked away and falling to the ground.
At this time, they didn't care to see what happened to Chu Ning. Several people quickly landed on the ground.
Because at the same time, several figures had already attacked them.
"Be careful!"
Gu Xiaoqing shouted while pointing the flying sword at a tall and thin man in black.
At the same time, the other hand pinched the magic formula and pointed.
A red light blade attacked another person.
However, several people found that Gu Xiaoqing had the highest cultivation level, and two people attacked her.
And the other two, one attacked Shen Zhengquan, and the other attacked Lu Miaoying.
Luo Yiping, who was the last one to fall, also landed on the ground at this moment, and was about to help Lu Miaoying.
At this moment, another red and black light suddenly appeared from behind, shooting directly at Luo Yiping.
It was the same powerful attack spell that attacked Chu Ning before.
Luo Yiping was somewhat alert at this moment, so he also reacted immediately.
After using some kind of magic weapon, a layer of green shield suddenly appeared on his body.
At the same time, the magic power on his body surged, and it seemed that he should have cast some kind of body protection spell.
However, he obviously underestimated the power of this red and black light.
Chu Ning's intermediate-level defense talisman and the silver crystal frost bamboo shield, an intermediate-level defense magic weapon, were not able to resist.
With only two layers of protection, how could he resist such an attack?
Seeing the black-gold light directly penetrate his magic weapon protection and hit the body protection magic shield.
Luo Yiping finally showed panic on his face at this moment, and wanted to fly away.
However, it was too late at this moment.
The red and black light pierced through the defense shield mercilessly and passed through his body.
The next moment, a black figure appeared. It was the black man who had shown his face outside Chu Ning's shop before.
But this man had been following behind after notifying his companions of the ambush.
Finding the right opportunity, he killed Luo Yiping with one blow.
Then, the black shadow flashed and flew forward.
Holding a black magic staff in his hand, he was about to join the battle.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiaoqing, Shen Zhengquan, and Lu Miaoying all changed their faces.
The power of this red and black light was so great that they were very afraid.
The only thing that comforted them a little was that these people seemed to have restrictions on the use of this red and black light.
After each person sent out one, they never used it again.
But even so, they were still uneasy.
In just one encounter, their side lost two combat forces. Now in a five-to-three situation, there is almost no chance of winning.
Especially Lu Miaoying, who looked desperate at this moment.
She was only at the fifth level of Qi training, and she was already inferior to the attack of a man in black at this moment.
If there was another man in black, she would definitely die.
But at this moment, she was surprised to see that the man in black who flew from behind suddenly changed his expression and yelled at her side.
"Be careful!"
The gray-clothed man who was fighting with Lu Miaoying was also a little surprised, and didn't understand what his companion was shouting at him.
However, he subconsciously activated the magic shield.
At the same time, a green sword-shaped spell flew from not far away and hit the shield directly.
Then, the shield dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the green sword shone brightly.
