Chapter 5: Unexpected Joy

Suddenly receiving a message from the island owner, Cui Ning raised his eyebrows, because he had never met this Qingling Venerable Master.

So I don't know what this uncle of the Jindan period is looking for himself.

But he didn't hesitate, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Miao, he flew to the main peak of Tianhuan Island alone, the main hall where the Lord of Jindan Island was located.

Ten minutes later, Cui Ning came to the main hall where the Venerable Qingling was located.

He was just about to sacrifice the transmission note, but the door of the temple in front of him opened with a bang.

Cui Ning was stunned for a moment, but then showed a relieved expression. Although this Tianhuan Island owner rarely appears in public, he is a genuine immortal cultivator of the Jindan period.

Jindan's powerful supernatural powers are naturally unpredictable.

Cui Ning stepped into the main hall without hesitation, only to see a middle-aged man in a yellow robe living directly above the main hall, a pair of eyes staring at Cui Ning, his deep black eyes, as if there was a wide world, which was difficult to understand.

"Meet the Owner!" Cui Ning lowered his head when he saw this, and said calmly.

"Hmm." The Venerable Qingling looked away and nodded, "Sit!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Island."

Cui Ning said politely when he saw this, but his two legs did not have the slightest intention of moving.

"You sent a voice to call the disciple over, is there anything wrong?"

"I heard that Senior Nephew Cui built the foundation not long ago, this is indeed a gratifying thing on this island, as the owner of the island, I don't have anything else, this eight-pole shield should be regarded as your promotion gift."

Master Qingling's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the emotional fluctuations at all, but he didn't even move his hand, and a small shield suddenly appeared in front of Cui Ning.

"Take it, some of the spiritual consciousness has been erased, you only need to re-confess the Lord to know the wonder of this shield."

"Thank you, Island Master!" Cui Ning suppressed his excitement and carefully put this shield into the storage bag, this is indeed the defensive magic weapon he needs the most at the moment, and he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy here.

******

"Just now, the owner of this island received an invitation from a friend of Shanglin Sect, inviting me to attend his seven-hundredth birthday."

"Birthday gift." Cui Ning didn't say anything when he heard this, still quietly listening to the island owner's narration.

"This Taoist friend is my best friend, and he is also an old guy who likes to be lively. That's why I called you here to attend this birthday ceremony. ”

When Cui Ning heard this, he swallowed his saliva: "The island master called his disciple to come, did he want me to accompany you?" ”

"No, I'm not going to attend, but I want you to go on my behalf."

"What?" Master Qingling's words were completely beyond Cui Ning's expectations, but he didn't speak, because Cui Ning knew that there was no need to ask, the island owner would definitely explain it to himself.

Sure enough, the Venerable Master Qingling paused for a moment, and then continued:

"First, this seat has been in retreat to cultivate a kind of supernatural power recently, and it just happened to be at a critical juncture, and you can't get out, and second, you also need these sect contribution points."

"Sect contribution points?" Cui Ning was stunned.

"That's right, what happened to your deliberations on the main island, Jinguang has already sent a voice to me. That day Yang did a bit unauthentic! ”

Cui Ning didn't dare to answer when he heard this, so he could only keep his head down and continue to listen.

"Still." Master Qingling sneered, "You and Senior Nephew Zheng are both disciples of my Tianhuan Island, otherwise I can't satisfy both of you."

So this sect task for me to pay homage to my birthday must be yours, and this task will only be assigned to you, do you understand? ”

Looking up at the sharp gaze of the Master Qingling, Cui Ning could only nod blankly.

******

Half an hour later, Cui Ning returned to his cave mansion, thinking about the words and deeds of the Master of the Pure Spirit in the temple, Cui Ning was silent, he did not expect that the Master of the Pure Spirit had always lived in a simple place, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

This Jindan Island Lord first sent a magic weapon shield to congratulate Cui Ning on entering the foundation building, and then sent him the sect contribution points in disguise with the task of worshipping Shou, so as to offset the contribution points he lost after being sent abroad, and at the same time warned Cui Ning that the grudge between Cui Ning and the monk surnamed Zheng must also be put aside.

This is the genius of this Jindan Island Lord, compared to the Tianyang Venerable Master's favor to one side to resolve the dispute, Cui Ning is more willing to accept the Qingling Venerable's approach, because the benefits are visible to the naked eye.

In order to understand the next trip to pay homage to his birthday, Cui Ning also went to Zhang Miao to ask about the situation of Shanglin Zong.

Although Cui Ning had known a little about the pattern of the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm before, it was far less detailed than what he heard from Senior Brother Zhang Miao today.

Listening to Zhang Miao, this information was also heard by him from that Senior Brother Qin.

The East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm is indeed very prosperous.

It is still a combination of sects, immortal cultivation families, and scattered cultivators.

The power of the sect is the largest, and the three sects of the East China Sea refer to the Shanglin Sect, the Stone Demon Sect, and the Qingfeng Pavilion, which have been three-legged and maintained in a relatively balanced situation for thousands of years.

Whether it was compared in terms of the number of Jindan monks or in terms of the highest-end combat power, the Shanglin Sect was ahead of the other two.

Because the ancestor of the Shanglin Sect was a mid-stage cultivator, and the Stone Demon Sect and the Qingfeng Pavilion were only in the middle stage.

But there are so many resources in the East China Sea, and the three sects are also secretly accumulating strength, wanting to overpower each other.

And many immortal cultivation families and scattered cultivators are surviving around these three major sects.

As far as Qingfeng Pavilion is concerned, in addition to establishing a lot of immortal cultivation families on land, it is also centered on Flame Island, and many of the resource islands explored around are also taken care of by some vassal families.

The path of immortals is difficult, although there are eight stages of cultivating immortals, ninety percent of the monks only linger in the qi refining period all their lives.

There are very few people who enter the foundation building period, and the Jindan period is rare, and when they enter the Yuan infant stage, unless they have excellent qualifications, they also need to have great opportunities. Normally, among the tens of thousands of immortal cultivators, there will be a real person in the Yuan Infant stage.

Monks in the foundation building period generally have a lifespan of 200 to 400 years, the Jindan period has 800 years, and the Yuan infant period has a lifespan of almost 2,000 years.

Many Jindan elders will take risks in order to break through when they are approaching the limit, but there are also some who enjoy life.

The Venerable Master's friend was the latter.

According to the invitation, this time to celebrate the birthday, the Jin Dan of the Shanglin Sect invited almost all the friendly forces and families in the East China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the day must be a stormy and lively meeting.

After listening to the Venerable Qingling's request, Cui Ning only thought for a moment in his heart and nodded in agreement.

As far as he is concerned, of course he will not refuse, he was originally thinking about how to get a large number of contribution points in exchange for the Tsuki-dan medicine before leaving the island, but now that he has the opportunity, how can he give it up.

And for Cui Ning, there is another important thing, that is, to find the dragon grass, so that he can start the cultivation of the brute golden body.

Cui Ning asked Zhang Miao about the dragon grass very early, but Zhang Miao claimed that he had never heard of it.

And this banquet of the Shanglin Sect, representatives of various factions and families will rush from all over the East China Sea to participate, and these people may have information about Hualong Cao.

And there seems to be no reason to miss such an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the spectacle and increase your knowledge.

Ten days later, Cui Ning, who was ready, left Tianhuan Island for Shanglin Sect with the birthday gift delivered by the Venerable Qingling.
