Several months have passed since Ning Fan escaped into Ziwei North Pole Palace.
For a few months, the ancient overhaul of the Jiehe Wan clan did not chase this place, as if they didn't care about Ning Fan's whereabouts.
Naturally, Ning Fan didn't know that all this was because the omniscient old man made a scene in Jiehe.
I don't know: because of his successive actions, a temporary truce agreement was signed between Beitian and Beijiehe; the Liubo chess meeting held in the Palace of the World of Relics was postponed indefinitely; The return of Master Yang has turned into a pot of porridge; the Water Sect that lost the True Monarch of the North Sea was divided up by many Beitian forces; within the Four Sea Sects, the lack of Ancestor Lei Ze to monitor the movements of the stars in Zhoutian caused a lot of trouble...
What's more, after a series of major events, in the land of Beitian and Beijiehe, the prestige of Zhao Jian, the ancient overhauler, became louder.
The day suddenly calmed down.
Time suddenly became abundant.
So Ning Fan found all the pieces of Duowen Wushuang and began to repair it - of course, the credit of Ji Fuyao, Nu Luo and others for finding the pieces was also indispensable.
Duowen Wushuang is one of the four artifacts in the Ziwei Immortal Domain. The four artifacts are combined into one, comparable to the opening of the sky. The high rank does not need to be described in detail; however, this item has been completely destroyed, and it is difficult to repair it. No less than rebuilding a magic weapon of the same level.
With Ning Fan's ability, he had failed five times in a row, and he still couldn't repair this thing.
Today is Ning Fan's sixth retreat to repair Duo Wen Wushuang.
I don't know how long it took, but when I heard an explosion in the stone pass, the closed stone gate was directly shattered by a shock; then billowing black smoke came out of the stone pass, and after that, Ning Fan, who was blasted to the ground, was wearing a black head. With messy hair, he walked out in embarrassment.
"I didn't think it would be so difficult to repair this thing..." After the sixth repair failed, Ning Fan couldn't help sighing because of his determination.
"Not good! Brother Ning's repair this time, shouldn't it fail again!" Chunyang Patriarch, who was waiting outside Shiguan for a long time, asked nervously.
Why is the ancestor of Chunyang waiting outside Shiguan
There is a reason for that.
Realizing that the ancient overhaul of the Jiehe River did not chase into this place, Ning Fan released the ancestors of Lei Ze, the ancestors of Chunyang, and the fish master from Feng Bo's pocket, and let them rest in peace and recuperate in the Ziwei Arctic Palace.
After all, this place used to be the Immortal Emperor’s cave. Even if it has been abandoned for countless years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is far stronger than the outside world.
Coupled with the help of Ning Fan's many anti-heaven healing methods, the recovery of the injury is very fast.
Not to mention how shocked the three of them were when they first entered the Arctic Palace.
Then, after hearing that Ning Fan wanted to restore one of the four artifacts in the Ziwei Immortal Domain? Among the three, the one who was most interested in this matter was Patriarch Chunyang.
"Huh? It failed again." Ning Fan took a deep breath? His mentality returned to his previous calm
"This repair? How much is the loss?" Chunyang Patriarch asked.
"There are still two cold spirit stones left? Nine taels of dragon's blood sand left? Half of the Chishui demon candle is left, and the rest of the materials have been exhausted." Ning Fan replied calmly.
It's as if? What was used in this artifact repair? It's not such a precious treasure.
But in fact, each of these things can be sold for more than tens of gold in Tongtianjiao? They were bought by Ning Fan with real gold and silver; Its preciousness is enough to make quasi-sages fight for it.
"Only one repair? It took so many immortal materials..." Chunyang Patriarch was distressed.
He is helping Ning Fan feel distressed!
Six times! Six full times! Six fixes, six failures! The immortal material wasted by each failure? Equivalent to the entire net worth of an ordinary quasi-sage!
The loss of six times is enough to make the six quasi-sages go bankrupt!
Too expensive, really too expensive...
With so much money, why can't you do anything, why waste it like this.
"Hey, Brother Ning, listen to my advice. This thing is too damaged and there is no hope of repairing it. It's not worth wasting immortal materials on this thing..." Chunyang Patriarch.
"Thank you Brother Lu for your kind words, but I don't plan to change my mind and will continue this matter. Fortunately, every time I fail, I can find some clues. If I want to try again a dozen times, I should be able to understand more..." Ning Fan.
What
Are you going to fail dozens more times
Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
Unfortunately, no matter how Chunyang Patriarch persuaded, Ning Fan still did not change his mind.
So in the following days, Ning Fan was still repairing Duowen Wushuang, and then suffered the seventh failure, the eighth failure, the ninth time, the tenth time...
Gradually, Patriarch Chunyang got used to it and became numb.
He has lived all his life, and it is not that he has never seen someone who treats money like dung, but he has never seen someone as rich and powerful as Ning Fan.
This son is wealthy, wealthy, decisive in spending money, ruthless, extravagant and wasteful, stubborn, spending money like water and spending money like soil.
I can't really persuade it!
Speaking of which, it is clear that he, Lu Chunyang, is the one who holds the title of God of Wealth, but compared to Ning Fan, he is no bullshit at all.
Judging from Ning Fan's spending these days, it is clear that Ning Fan is richer than him, and his strength is not even a star!
Judging from Ning Fan's daring to spend money, he was a dignified God of Wealth, but he was not as heroic as Ning Fan.
This incident made the ancestor of Chunyang quite hit.
After the blow, it also brought new insights to the ancestors of Chunyang.
What he cultivated in his life was the title of God of Wealth, and what he cultivated was the way of money.
In the past, he was too obsessed with money itself. He was keen to make money and save money. In his life, he had become a mortal and joined the WTO countless times, learning the art of making money as a mortal businessman.
He knows how to make money.
He also understands how hard it is to make money.
Because he understands this, he has a natural saving (miserliness) character in his character.
If he was like Ning Fan, he would probably never be able to spend money like running water for the possibility of repairing an ethereal artifact.
But why, Ning Fan's attitude of spending money like flowing water, but not being stingy, brought him so many touches.
"What I have cultivated in my life seems to be incomplete..."
"The way of money is not only the way of generating wealth, the way of raising wealth, but also the way of dispersing wealth..."
"I make money with a tenth of my heart, and raise my wealth with a twelfth of my heart, but I am too stingy when it comes to dispersing money, and I look forward to the future..."
"People should be frugal, but being the God of Wealth, they are not born to accumulate wealth, and they should not be too obsessed with money itself..."
"Produce wealth and then nourish it, nourish wealth and then disperse it, disperse it for use and then regenerate, reciprocating like this... Yes, yes, it should be like this!"
Day by day passed.
The number of Ning Fan's failures has accumulated to nineteen times.
Chunyang Patriarch actually gained great insights from Ning Fan's repeated failures.
In the body, the cultivation base sealed by the coffin, once again... flows!
"My stagnant mana has grown again with my perception! This..." Chunyang Patriarch was pleasantly surprised.
Normal people cannot continue to improve their cultivation after being sealed in the coffin for years.
In the past, Chunyang Patriarch could only use the speciality of the title of God of Wealth to absorb the power of gold and silver from the heavens to continue to improve his mana.
Now, based on his own perception, he has truly improved his cultivation base!
Thinking of it, the title of God of Wealth is too special, and even the coffin cannot completely seal this matter; or, because he is the inventor of the coffin, he can do this.
"My cultivation base has been stagnant for too long, too long... Countless years of deposition, stagnant water gathered into glaciers, once melted and resumed its flow, it could never be just a stream, but... a torrent!"
Chunyang Patriarch's insights continue to deepen!
The same improvement, there is... the cultivation base that should have been stagnant!
In the days that followed, his mana began to soar, and even the power of the coffin could not be suppressed!
It was approaching the second-order Quasi-Saint at an amazing speed!
It is a pity that at the juncture of breaking through the second-order quasi-sage, the feeling of the torrent has slowed down, and immediately, there is a situation where the current is cut off.
Can't break through the second-order barrier in one breath... Is the perception not enough.
"Scattering wealth! Scattering wealth! I must comprehend more ways of spreading wealth before I can break through to a deeper level!"
The ancestor of Chunyang decided to break through the second-order quasi-sage in one go!
…
This is Ning Fan's 26th repair failure!
As usual, Ning Fan walked out of Shiguan with a dismal face.
The ancestor of Chunyang, as always, was waiting outside Shiguan.
Chunyang: "Brother Ning, is this a failure again?"
Ning Fan: "Yes, but after this failure, I have more clues..."
Chunyang: "Are you really going to give up?"
Ning Fan: "Why give up?"
Chunyang: "Sure enough, we still have to continue, Brother Ning is a determined person, which is admirable! Or, Brother Ning actually mentioned this to me on purpose? To make me understand the true meaning of loose money? If so, then Let Brother Ning worry."
Some Ning Fan who didn't quite understand: "???"
I always feel that the recent Chunyang Patriarch is a little strange and wrong, and what is wrong, and some can't tell.
"Brother Ning didn't want this thing before? I'll give it to Brother Ning." While speaking, Patriarch Chunyang gave Ning Fan some jade slips.
fqxsw.org
At that time, in order to improve the purity of mana, Ning Fan bought a formula called "Refining Pure Art" from the ancestor of Chunyang.
But not all of them were bought, these formulas, Ning Fan only bought the six tribulations of the past.
What Chunyang Patriarch gave to Ning Fan this time was all the remaining formulas.
"Give it to me? It's too precious." Ning Fan didn't want to take this thing in vain.
He still remembers the price that Chunyang Patriarch gave to Lian Chunjue back then.
The purity formula for the five kalpas of the Immortal King is five hundred gold; six kalpas, one thousand gold; seven kalpas, one thousand five hundred gold; eight kalpas, two thousand gold; ninth kalpa, two thousand five hundred gold; ; second-order, three thousand gold; third-order, three thousand gold…
The follow-up formulas sent by Chunyang Patriarch this time are worth 15,000 Heavenly Dao Gold.
So precious, how could Ning Fan take it for nothing? Not to mention that he was helped by Chunyang Patriarch some time ago.
He should not take the gift of the Chunyang Patriarch in vain.
On the contrary, he should be the one who thanked the ancestors of Chunyang.
"Brother Ning looked hesitant. Could it be that he wanted to give me money?" Chunyang Patriarch joked when he saw Ning Fan's delay in accepting the gift.
"Naturally not..." Ning Fan sighed secretly, and accepted the gift after thanking Patriarch Chunyang.
He lied.
This thing is too expensive, he was hesitant just now, in fact, he really intends to pay for it.
But in the end, he didn't do it.
It is not that he is reluctant to pay 15,000 gold, but that he is unwilling to take mere gold and silver to measure the mind of Patriarch Chunyang.
However, considering that gold and silver are of great significance to the ancestors of Chunyang, Ning Fan will remember this in his heart.
In the future, there will be other rewards, but they will not be mentioned at this time.
Patriarch Chunyang seemed to see through Ning Fan's thoughts, and smiled, "Brother Ning really doesn't have to be so open to the outside world! Before the battle of life and death, Lu came at the risk of death, where righteousness lies, life can be sacrificed, why not treasure gold and silver! , I will send it to you, don't worry about it!"
"Thanks a lot." Ning Fan sternly clenched his fists and thanked him.
Patriarch Chunyang just waved his hand indifferently, and then embarrassedly said, "And... this pure refining formula is actually not worth much. To be honest, this formula was actually made up by me when I was very bored in the past. In terms of cost, it only cost me half an hour and a few empty jade slips. For such a cheap thing, I actually charged Brother Ning for tens of thousands of gold, and even deceived Brother Ning of thousands of gold. I am ashamed. , ashamed! In the past, I cherished gold like my life, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. Every time I thought about it, I just felt complacent. Now my Taoism has gone a step further, and I feel that this is what it was and what it was yesterday. I can't say it, I can't say it... What kind of treasure can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars? As a god of wealth, I don't have any reverence for money. what!"
Ning Fan: "???"
Ning Fan: "!!!"
Ning Fan: "…"
Chunyang Patriarch: "Brother Ning's expression seems to be mixed?"
Ning Fan: "I just didn't expect that such a subtle formula was actually made up by Brother Lu..."
Chunyang Patriarch: "I didn't expect that someone would actually give it to someone who asked for a price casually back then..."
"..." Ning Fan was offended.
In other words, back then, I was actually a... idiot in your eyes
"Uh, I made a slip of the tongue for a while, I'm sorry." Chunyang Patriarch said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter, back then you and I never knew each other, so it was normal to calculate and slander each other. No matter what, how amazing your fellow Daoist is, I can feel it today." Ning Fan sincerely praised.
Invented the heaven-defying things like the coffin.
When I have nothing to do, I write such wonderful formulas as "Lianchun Jue".
It is not a lie to say that the ancestors of Chunyang are amazing!
These people are trapped in the realm of fantasy and dreams, and their luck is not good, so they are only first-level quasi-sages; if this life is in the real world and worships a sage as a teacher, I don't know what the future will be.
Ning Fan was convinced that Chunyang Patriarch had the aptitude for sanctification.
"Speaking of which, Brother Lu's mana has improved a lot recently. I'm afraid it won't be long before he will break through to the second-rank quasi-sage?" Ning Fan asked after putting away the jade slip.
"Uh, can you see that my cultivation is diligent?" Chunyang Patriarch was startled.
He used the power of the God of Wealth title to cover up his aura. Even if he was a great cultivator in ancient times, he shouldn't see through his cultivation.
Why was Ning Fan seen through!
This kid's perception is simply monster-level meticulous!
"Um."
"When did you see it through? This kind of thing takes some time to see through, right? It should be that I was close to breaking through the second-order quasi-sage in recent days, and I neglected to cover my breath, so you saw through it, right?" Chunyang Patriarch was hit hard and asked.
"..." Ning Fan didn't know how to answer.
Do you want to say that I saw the clue from the first day of your cultivation and diligence? Just haven't found the opportunity to ask questions
"You kid, what a monster." Grandmaster Chunyang saw through Ning Fan's thoughts and was even more shocked.
"I heard that when the quasi-sage breaks through the second rank, he will often call friends and ask for help. When Brother Lu is fully prepared and decides to break through, don't forget to let him know." Ning Fan.
"Hehe, if the day comes to break through to the second rank, it is natural to ask Brother Ning for help. People say that a friend born by birth is a friend who will die. I have lived too long, and there are no friends of my generation left. How many people are there. Except for Brother Ning, I really don't know who to invite..." Patriarch Chunyang sighed for a while, only to feel the vicissitudes of life. In the vicissitudes of life, waiting for those who do not return, it is really... very lonely.
"The day of fellow Daoist breakthrough will surely come."
"Hehe, no need, if there is something important, it doesn't matter if Brother Ning doesn't come." Having said that, Patriarch Chunyang knew that since the person in front of him said he would come, there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, and he would definitely know it. Come.
It's great, in this lonely world of self-cultivation, I can still find a true fellow Daoist.
"Okay, okay, keep busy, I should go to Yu Jizi!" Chunyang Patriarch said goodbye.
Yujizi is the real name of the fish master.
"...In that case, I'll go with you." Ning Fan said.
"Don't! I'm going to find old man Yu for money, what are you doing with me? And old man Yu seems to be still angry, so he may not want to see you! You should concentrate on the repair of your artifact!"
…
The fish master was really angry with Ning Fan.
But in fact, it was only at the beginning that he was angry when he learned of Jiuxiaojiu's whereabouts.
After figuring out the cause and effect, he would never regain Ning Fan's anger, but instead felt a little sorry for Ning Fan.
Yes, the fish master already knew that the wine demon, who he regarded as his granddaughter, was missing because he was taken away by Ning Fan.
How did the fish master know about this
This also starts with Ning Fan inviting the fish master to heal in the Arctic Palace.
Time went back to that day, and the fish master said goodbye to Ning Fan, Chunyang, and Lei Ze.
Ning Fan: "This place is the Immortal Emperor's Cave, which is the most suitable for healing. Brother Yu might as well stay here for a while to heal his injuries. Why are you so eager to leave?"
The fish owner: "I have an urgent matter, so I can't stay for a long time."
Chunyang: "If you have any difficulties, you might as well talk about it, maybe we can help you."
The fish master: "Hey, it's like this, I know a little guy who I grew up with, just like my granddaughter. This little guy has never been away from me for too long, but recently, she has Nowhere to be found."
Lei Ze: "Missing? Is there a clue?"
The fish master: "No. I planted a mark on her body, but now I can't sense it. I don't know if she is trapped in some ancient ruins or involved in some danger... Or, she actually hates me. Always stealing her wine and drinking? Are you so angry that you hide on purpose? Please help me analyze and analyze, which is the most likely?"
Ning Fan: "Do you have her life card?"
The fish owner: "Yes. The life card is not broken."
Ning Fan: "She has your Quasi-Saint mark on her body, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will take action against her; but if your enemy seeks revenge... As for the possibility of being trapped in the ancient ruins, I can't say that there is no..."
The fish master: "In the fantasy world, I should have no enemies."
Ning Fan: "So sure?"
Fish Master: "All enemies with cause and effect have been killed."
Ning Fan: "…"
Fish Master: "It's very possible to be trapped in a special space such as ancient ruins. This girl, who is usually out of her temper, often likes to drill into ancient ruins..."
Lei Ze: "That's a little dangerous. Although Beitian has the laws of heaven to maintain the law, there are also many demons. These demons love to build caves in ancient ruins. Don't your granddaughter explore in which ruins? At that time, he was taken away by some lecherous devil and locked up in the space of the cauldron."
The fish master: "Hateful! I will go to the Beitian ruins to find them one by one, and I must rescue Xiaojiu!"
Chunyang: "Don't go! Old man Lei just said it casually, do you really believe it? Those magic cultivators are chasing the cauldron, and they don't dare to arrest those who are related to the quasi-sage. Brother Ning said this before. Is it?"
Lei Ze: "Old man Lu, what you said is wrong! How can someone who is anxious to look forward to the future, what if there is really a hungry ghost who is not afraid of death? You look at the majestic appearance of Brother Yu, and his granddaughter must also be closed Yue. Shame..."
Chunyang: "They are not grandfathers and grandsons..."
Lei Ze: "In short, the granddaughter of old man Yu is right."
Chunyang: "But you haven't seen it before, how can you assert this?"
Lei Ze: "Intuition! This old man has acted in his life, and has lived and died many times. Whenever a disaster strikes, he relies on his own intuition to turn evil into good."
The fish master: "Hehe, Old Man Lei is really right. My granddaughter is indeed very handsome. My granddaughter, Brother Lei and Brother Lu may not have met, but Brother Ning should have. Ah, this girl is secretly watching, and wants to take action on Ning brother, I said a few words to her, she should have listened..."
While speaking, the fish master took out the portrait of Jiuxiaojiu and showed it to everyone.
After that...
Time goes back to the present.
"Grandpa Fish Master! You don't know how abominable that Ning Fan is! After he arrested me, he was locked up with his cauldrons! Do you know how many cauldrons he kept, one hundred thousand, no, maybe one One million, ten million... I didn't count it, because I couldn't count it at all! I was shocked by how lecherous he was! I was really frightened at the time!" Jiu Xiaojiu.
"Brother Ning's bone age is still young, and he is young and strong. He has a hundred and eighty thousand cauldrons, but it is normal." The fish owner disagreed.
"This... is this normal?" Jiu Xiaojiu was startled.
"Do you know how many eggs our fish family produces at one time? Even the common grass carp can produce 400,000 eggs at a time. If it is some special fish, it can produce hundreds of millions of eggs at a time..." The fish master.
"This is obviously two different things!" Jiu Xiaojiu.
"Then let's just talk about the matter. You take action first, and although they imprison you, they haven't hurt your life or touched you in the slightest. It's benevolence. If it were me, someone who didn't have a good eye would come and cause trouble. , will be killed with one sword directly, how can there be so many truths to say. So, be content, with this lesson, don't make trouble again in the future." The fish master.
"But..." Jiu Xiaojiu.
"Find a chance to apologize to Brother Ning." The fish master.
"What! He took me, I have to apologize to him?" Jiu Xiaojiu.
"Hehe, if you don't go, next time he catches you, I won't bother." The fish master.
"Uh, then I'd better find a chance to apologize to him... There are a lot of adults, and they will definitely not remember my villain's mistakes." Jiu Xiaojiu said.
While talking, the ancestor of Chunyang came to the door.
As soon as they met, they brought gifts to the fish master.
This is what Chunyang Patriarch calls loose wealth. In his opinion, as long as he spreads more wealth and comprehends the way to loose wealth, he will definitely be able to break through the second-order quasi-saint realm.
After sending the fish master's family, Chunyang Patriarch went to Lei Ze again, and also gave a big gift.
This really startled Ancestor Lei Ze.
Mysterious! This is mysterious!
On weekdays, the indomitable Chunyang Patriarch came to the door for the first time to give gifts, and what he gave was something of great value. No matter how you looked at it, it was terrifying.
…
Jiu Xiaojiu decided to apologize to Ning Fan.
I don't know if I really know what I'm wrong and can correct it, it's mainly her, cowardly. She was really afraid of being taken away by Ning Fan this time. If she had the backing of the fish master, she would still have the confidence to not be afraid of Ning Fan, but now...
In order not to be retaliated by Ning Fan, she had no choice but to go out in person to end the cause and effect.
Besides, Ning Fan seems to have something that Grandpa Fish Master is looking for, she wants it.
To show sincerity, this apology certainly cannot go away empty-handed.
"Excuse me to ask, where can I find the best brewing materials here?" Jiu Xiaojiu grabbed a little demon from the Arctic Palace and asked.
"Go, go, go, while going, grandpa still has to patrol the mountains, so I don't have time to talk to you!" Xiao Yao said impatiently.
"Hey, hey, before I say you are arrogant, let's see if the difference between you and me is good. I'm a great master at crossing the real world, and you're a golden elixir, okay!" Jiu Xiaojiu said speechlessly.
"Crossing the real world? Just you?" The little demon looked at Jiu Xiaojiu with the eyes of the mentally retarded.
No matter how I look at it, I don't think this second-hand girl in front of me looks like a powerful person.
"If you don't believe me, I will put some coercion and let you experience the terrifying power of crossing the real world." In order to prove his identity of crossing the real world, Jiu Xiaojiu decided to release some coercion to show the other party.
However, just as she was about to release her coercion, there was an invisible star power that scattered her coercion in the world.
It didn't land on the little demon's head at all.
Can't fall!
Because... Ziwei Arctic Palace does not allow it!
This is the former Immortal Emperor's Cave Mansion, and the cultivators who came from outside are not even qualified to release coercion here!
"How is it, you're scared!" Jiu Xiaojiu's coercion was only put away for a moment, mainly because he was afraid that if he put it too much for too long, he would directly kill the little demon. She thought that she had already shocked the other party, and she did not notice the fact that her coercion was dispelled, mainly because the moment when the coercion was dispelled was too fast.
"It turns out that you are really capable of transcending the real world. Oh, you really scared me to death... Okay, aren't you looking for brewing materials? Go, go there and ask our commander for it. Poor, what a good girl, It hurts my brain at such a young age." In the end, Xiao Yao still showed Jiu Xiaojiu the way.
Probably sympathizing with the girl's poor mind.
Jiu Xiaojiu didn't mind the little demon's criticism.
Mainly because she didn't hear the little demon saying that her brain is not good.
after she left.
The little demon looked up at the sky, looked at the ethereal dome of Ziwei Arctic Palace, and muttered.
"At that moment, how could I have the feeling of being sheltered by heaven and earth? That feeling is like the protection of the crape myrtle described in the book. It's so warm and soothing, it makes people feel sleepy. It should be just an illusion."
"The old one has passed away, and the new one has not yet arrived, so the protection of Ziwei can't be reproduced at all."
"I really want to see what the owner of Ziwei Arctic Palace looks like."
