Start cultivating immortals from full talent

Chapter 55 The mantis stalks the cicada
The Fire-Spotted Toad is a second-order early stage demon beast, whose cultivation is comparable to that of a great cultivator in the early stage of foundation building of the human race.

What is unexpected is that it can actually transform into a magical medicine and use it as bait to lure and kill human monks. It is really insidious!

Ning Daoran's heart beat faster. This fire-spotted toad had a second-level fire-attribute demon core on its body, which was the treasure he had been seeking for a few years ago.

Now that we have met each other today, I will avenge the three fellow Taoists from Ziyun Sect!

By the way, take the materials from the fire-spotted toad.

……

He escaped into a morning glory vine using wood escape technique, and released his spiritual sense to scan the area within a hundred feet, confirming that apart from himself and the fire-spotted toad, there was no other life force.

Shot!

The breath-concealing technique, invisibility technique, and sound-absorbing technique of the returning to nature level were running smoothly. He cast incantations one after another, and quickly and silently used wood escape along the surrounding trees and vines.

Not long after, Ning Daoran was less than ten feet away from the Fire-Spotted Toad, but the other party was completely unaware of him.

"Hiccup~~~"

The Fire-Spotted Toad, which had just devoured so much flesh and blood of human cultivators, actually burped, narrowed its eyes, and its body slowly shrank, transforming once again into a Tianluo grass swaying in the wind.

Ning Daoran took out a big green dragon from his storage bag and stared at the front. Although he saw the Tianluo grass, the shape and position of the Fire Spotted Toad were clearly visible when his spiritual sense swept over it!

He gently hooked the five fingers of his left hand, and suddenly a strand of blood-colored thread trembled violently.

With a sharp and suppressed sound, a piece of broken porcelain flew straight to the head of the Fire Toad from the front!
"Gugua!"

The fire-spotted toad screamed and involuntarily stepped back.

However, at this moment, Ning Daoran fell silently from the wind like a fallen leaf, and went straight to the back of the fire-spotted toad's head!

The tip of the Qinglong Spear in his hand was wrapped with a wisp of silver dragon's afterimage, and the force of tens of thousands of pounds fiercely chopped down on the top of the head of the Fire Spotted Toad!
Secret Technique: Silver Dragon Fetching Water!

"Pong!"

With a loud bang, the protective aura of evil spirit condensed above the Fire-Spotted Toad's head was instantly shattered. The power of the Green Dragon Spear was so strong that it instantly smashed the skull and opened a skylight above the Fire-Spotted Toad's head.

"Gu..."

The fire-spotted toad let out a scream that was as loud as it could, but it did not spread too far as it was all suppressed and eliminated by the sound-absorbing technique of the Return to Nature level.

Ning Daoran's body was in the air, he aimed at the bloody hole on the top of the fire-spotted toad's head, raised his left hand, and with a "swish" a fiery red sword finger burst out!

The Samadhi True Fire based on the eleventh level of the Evergreen Art was so terrifying that it penetrated the body of the Fire Spotted Toad in just one strike, and the sword energy created a big hole from the top of the head to the chin.

"Puff puff!"

He raised his hand and another six invisible needles flew out, piercing all the important meridians where the Fire Spot Toad's demonic energy flowed, and then he fired another shot!
The fire-spotted toad suddenly lost all its breath and was killed instantly.

Ning Daoran's movements were smooth and fluid. He first raised his hand and absorbed a second-order fire-attribute demon core into his hand, and then put the entire body of the fire-spotted toad into the storage bag.

It’s a second-level monster, and its body is full of treasures. Take it back and dissect it carefully.

"Shh!"

The moment the gathering was completed, Ning Daoran cast a spell, and his body immediately sank into the ground, leaving the place using the earth escape technique.

……

Two hours later.

Ning Daoran moved slowly forward along a dark mountain range, without showing his figure from beginning to end, so as to avoid being discovered by other cultivators.

Soon after, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted from near an ancient and vigorous pine tree.

"Ok?"

Ning Daoran frowned and found a purple ginseng hidden under a few fiery red maple leaves.

Suddenly, his mind went blank with a buzz. It turned out to be the purple-blood ginseng. It was exactly the same as recorded in the prophecy distributed by the sect. It was the purple-blood ginseng, one of the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Moreover, this is a purple-blood ginseng that is at least five hundred years old.

Purple Blood Ginseng, Ganoderma Lucidum, and Heart-Concentrating Grass, these three kinds of spiritual medicines can be used as medicine for foundation-building pills as long as they are one hundred years old. And if the purple blood ginseng is five hundred years old, the chance of refining a high-quality or even fine foundation-building pill will be greatly increased!
Ning Daoran had not expected to encounter the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill so soon.

He was a little agitated, his heart was beating faster and his breathing was becoming difficult.

No, it doesn't feel like it should be that easy.

He frowned, and still used Wood Release to hide in a dead vine about fifty meters away from the purple blood ginseng. He spread out his spiritual sense and used it to explore any movement nearby.

After a few breaths, a breath of air was discovered under a rotten leaf.

He is a cultivator who has reached the perfection of Qi training. He uses some means to conceal his breath and lies dormant here without moving. He is like a hunter waiting for his prey with great patience.

If Ning Daoran had not possessed spiritual awareness in advance, he would probably not have been able to detect this person's existence at all.

"So insidious..."

Ning Daoran felt a chill down his spine and was extremely frightened, but luckily he managed to control himself and not get too excited.

At this moment, a voice came from a distance.

"Senior Sister, this is it..."

A female cultivator in a plain skirt came over holding a jade-shaped magical instrument in her hand. The moment her eyes fell on the purple-blood ginseng, she was surprised and delighted: "Look, it's purple-blood ginseng, one of the three main ingredients of the foundation-building pill!"

"Junior sister, be careful."

Her senior sister was a little older, a young woman who had achieved perfection in Qi training.

"Ah."

The junior sister raised one hand, and suddenly a small fiery red sword floated above her shoulders, with the tip of the sword pointing warily at the surroundings.

The senior sister took out a protective talisman from her sleeve and stared ahead with her pair of phoenix eyes.

"Junior sister, be careful. Dig out the entire purple blood ginseng. Don't move the roots. It will damage the medicinal properties."

"I know, Senior Sister."

At this moment, a flash of blood-red light suddenly flashed through the rotten leaves, and then the sister's heart was pierced, a stream of blood spurted out from her back, and she died tragically on the spot.

"Junior sister!"

The senior sister was shocked and quickly lit the talisman. Suddenly, a yellow light enveloped her body.

But the second blood-red light passed by again, and with a "puff" sound, it pierced through Senior Sister's throat, with such force that it even caused her body to float up like a fallen leaf. "..."

Ning Daoran said nothing and watched the two sisters die.

There is no other way. It is better to ignore such things. Besides, now is not the best time for me to take action.

The man hiding in the dark, his blood-colored flying arrow magic weapon is very powerful, it can even penetrate the protective aura of a first-grade mid-quality talisman. If I take action, it would be best if I could find an opportunity to kill with one blow.

……

After the two sisters from Xingyue Pavilion died tragically, that man did not even come out to touch the corpses.

He was still hiding under the fallen leaves, motionless.

Ning Daoran frowned. With such good patience, this person must be really troublesome!

After a while, footsteps were heard again in the distance.

This time it was a man wearing the uniform of a Ziyun Sect disciple, he looked middle-aged, was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and was extremely cautious.

"Ok?"

After he smelled the bloody scent, he quickly lay down, then used some means to conceal his breath, and his breath quickly became weak. After that, he cast a spell, and his body actually began to blend with the color of the surrounding terrain.

He actually mastered the art of invisibility to a small degree!
Ning Daoran was slightly startled, and sighed in his heart, "I am not alone..."

The man moved forward slowly, taking dozens of breaths to move one step. He first came to the bodies of the two female cultivators from the Xingyue Pavilion and touched them first.

The look in his eyes when he looked at his senior sister was a little burning, and then he looked at the purple blood ginseng, and his gaze became even hotter.

He moved forward slowly and silently, trying his best to blend into the world.

But there is no way to escape the hunter's prying eyes.

"Whoosh!"

A bloody streak broke through the air!

"Who?!"

The male disciples of Ziyun Sect were shocked and hurriedly stood up to resist, but it was too late.

A blood-red arrow shot into his forehead, piercing through his entire head, and a puff of blood splattered on the ground behind him.

In the bushes, the master who had reached the perfection of Qi training still did not show his head.

Ning Daoran is not in a hurry, so he won't show up either. Let's see who can outlast the other.

Another moment passed.

There were footsteps heard in the distance, and two disciples of the Gangmen Sect appeared.

They are a pair of brothers who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

“Purple blood ginseng!”

The senior brother recognized the old ginseng under the tree at a glance!

"Brother, be careful. Someone has been killed. There are probably guardian monsters nearby."

"That's right!"

The senior brother frowned and said, "We can give up the purple blood ginseng, but the storage bags of those people... Junior brother, maybe we can just take the storage bags and not provoke the guardian beast."

As he spoke, the senior brother took out a magic rope from his storage bag, threw the rope far away, then took out a jade flute and began to play it.

As the jade flute sounded, the rope actually raised its head like a snake, and its body meandered away. In a blink of an eye, it took all the three storage bags from the male disciples of Ziyun Sect, and then returned directly to its owner.

"Got it!"

The senior brother took the storage bag and put the rope and jade flute into his arms.

"Junior brother, run away!"

The two of them turned into afterimages and disappeared in the wind.

……

'Fuck...'

Ning Daoran was stunned. He was worthy of being a member of the Gangmen Sect. How could he be so unethical?
"whispering sound……"

The figure in the fallen leaves seemed unable to bear it any longer, and suddenly turned over and shook off the leaves on his body. He looked like a sinister young man, wearing the clothes of a true disciple of the Soul-Devouring Sect.

It's not surprising that he is a person from the evil way.

"You bastards from the Steel Sect, don't fall into my hands, or I'll make sure you're all dead!"

He spat, seemed to be tired of playing, and walked straight towards the purple blood ginseng.

"puff!"

However, he had just taken three steps when his body suddenly shook, a bloody thread flashed across his neck, and immediately his entire head rolled off his body.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

From beginning to end, this person thought he was in control and had everything under control, but he didn't even notice Ning Daoran's existence.

I waited for a whole incense stick of time.

After confirming that there were no other yellow birds, Ning Daoran burrowed directly into the ground, stretched out one hand into the mud and skillfully touched the corpse, and put into his pocket the storage bag and magic tools of this Soul-Devouring Sect's Qi-refining Perfect disciple, as well as the purple blood ginseng.

Then he escaped into the woods and left this ominous place.

In his hands, there was a set of blood-colored sleeve arrows, which were the treasures of the Soul-Devouring Sect disciple just now. They were first-class top-grade magical weapons, of the same grade as the shadowless needle and broken porcelain pieces. They could kill people invisibly and were a good thing.

So, underground, Ning Daoran immediately refined this set of sleeve arrows and quickly transformed them into his own combat power.

　In order to rank high on the new book list, today’s two updates will be posted in the early morning, and tomorrow’s will return to the original time.

　　I didn't understand the rules of this new book, and I lost a lot of money. It makes me cry when I talk about it.
