Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 155 - 153 Flying Star Centipede

Chapter 155 -153 Flying Star Centipede

“Senior Bai Ming, what’s going on?”

Ning Daoran frowned and raised his hand to perform the Jianjia Sword Finger. With several “sizzling” sounds, he chopped off all the thorns confining Lay Practitioner Bai Ming.

Instantly, black liquid oozed out from the cuts in the thorns, seeming to contain living creatures that writhed as if struggling.

Ning Daoran thought of a foreign movie series he had seen in his past life.

He glanced at Bai Ming, hoping nothing strange would emerge from Bai Ming’s mouth or stomach; that would be truly terrifying.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist…”

...

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming was extremely weak. He turned his gaze to a small blood-colored pagoda and the invaluable Void Divine Stone, saying,

“This old man’s life was saved by you, Fellow Daoist. Thus, all the opportunities within this Demon King Cave Mansion naturally belong to you. Go ahead and take the treasure. I will recover my mana, and then we should quickly leave this ominous place!”

“Alright.”

Ning Daoran nodded, not doubting Bai Ming’s intentions, his eyes clear.

However, just as he reached for the treasures, Lay Practitioner Bai Ming suddenly hurled a flying sword, attacking him!

“Poof!”

The flying sword pierced through Ning Daoran’s shoulder, blood splattered everywhere.

“Fellow Daoist, you can’t blame this old man!”

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming extended his five fingers and suppressed Ning Daoran with his mana, speaking calmly, “Without the opportunities before us, this old man would likely have no hope of forming a Nascent Soul.

There are only so many opportunities, and without killing you, this old man cannot rightfully claim the treasure. Fellow Daoist Jianjia, please go on without worry; I will not forget the favor you did by saving my life.”

“If Senior says so, then I feel reassured.”

A voice suddenly came from behind Lay Practitioner Bai Ming.

“You…”

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming’s heart trembled violently as he turned around, only to see another Independent Practitioner Jianjia.

Right as he was about to react, several blood-red silk threads crisscrossed in the air!

The next second, not only was Lay Practitioner Bai Ming beheaded, but his body was also cut into several pieces.

The instantaneous killing power of the Spirit Cage Silk was truly terrifying!

Ning Daoran dared not delay any longer, as nobody knew when the Nascent Soul Stage Wolf King might return.

At this moment, he even hoped that Soul-devouring Demon would hold on a bit longer and delay some more.

He quickly collected the treasures—the Blood-colored Pagoda, Void Divine Stone, and all other treasures Lay Practitioner Bai Ming possessed.

Immediately afterward, protected by dozens of Class A and Second-class Paperfolk, Ning Daoran swiftly retraced his path and made for the exit of the Secret Realm.

…

While using Earth Escape.

Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense scanned and found not many treasures in Lay Practitioner Bai Ming’s storage bag, mostly spiritual artifacts and spirit stones.

Due to the urgency, there was no time for a Soul Search, but given that Lay Practitioner Bai Ming was a Supreme Elder of Xiyu Pavilion, his foundations couldn’t be that meager.

He must have had one or two magical treasures on him, which if not in the storage bag must have been destroyed in the fight against the Nascent Soul Demon Wolf or taken by the Soul-devouring Demon.

A bit of a pity.

However, the moment Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense swept over the spirit beast bag that he had taken from Lay Practitioner Bai Ming’s waist, he couldn’t help but shudder violently.

Within the spirit beast bag, there were four wholly azure Flying Star Centipedes, shaking their heads and tails while eating a pile of blood food. The patterns on their backs resembled eyes!

Flying Star Centipedes!?

Ning Daoran was ecstatic, for they were indeed Flying Star Centipedes, identical to those depicted in the Ten Thousand Insects List.

These were among the strongest of spiritual insects, ranking fourteenth on the Ten Thousand Insects List!

‘Holy sh*t…’

Ning Daoran calmed his ecstasy, his eyes once again becoming clear.

Although this adventure into the Secret Realm had brought many gains, these items weren’t entirely his until he returned to Qiongbi Peak—he had to make it back alive!

In the secret passage.

The Golden Puppet Beast was still there, watching Ning Daoran’s return journey through the passage with a gloomy gaze.

“Go!”

Ning Daoran waved his hand, once again using numerous Paperfolk as cannon fodder.

Using the Green Vine Talisman and Divine Speed Talisman without hesitation, he appeared in the Outer Hall in just a few breaths.

Half a day later, by the Flowing Ice River.

The water surged with demon qi, huge creatures ready in tight formation, as if one Tan Shangyu wasn’t enough to fill their bellies.

Ning Daoran skimmed over the surface, his fingertips lightly lifted.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Upon his wrists, the Twelve Silver Moon Flying Swords rose one by one, swirling rapidly around him like tiny swift fish. Just as an Octopus Demon Beast lunged out of the water, Ning Daoran raised his right hand.

A giant, blue-colored cauldron plummeted down from above!

The Third-tier Middle-grade Magical Treasure, the Chi Long Ding!

Arriving there, this Octopus Demon Beast seemed to remember Ning Daoran’s scent and truly believed him to be powerless, possessing no magical treasures.

Yet now, calling Ning Daoran “Independent Practitioner Duo Bao” would be quite fitting.

“Boom—”

With a loud crash, the Octopus Demon Beast’s face was smashed and it plunged straight into the water.

But another wave spiraled up quickly, as a fish demon covered in yellow and black stripes leapt out of the water, its huge mouth gaping to engulf him!

Also a Third-tier Early-stage, equally monstrously strong!

“Little Qing, block it!”

Ning Daoran swung his left hand, waving the Green Ghost Flag, and the Green-clothed Lady burst forth with a piercing scream, attacking the Fish Demon.

The Fish Demon raged, a mere evil spirit daring to strike at a Third-tier Demon King?

With undulating ripples beneath his feet, Ning Daoran successfully crossed the river.

“Little Qing, come back!”

In the wind, the soul of the Green-clothed Lady was warped and deformed by the Demon Qi of the Fish Demon. After turning into a stream of green smoke and returning to the Green Ghost Flag, she sat on the ground, her legs crossed, her green shirt disheveled, revealing glimpses of her white cleavage. She gazed at Ning Daoran with a pitiful look.

‘I swear…’

Ning Daoran inwardly cursed, enough with these tricks!

…

After a bumpy journey, when Ning Daoran stepped out of the secret realm, two days had already passed.

“Swish!”

The moment he stepped out of the secret realm, he directly used Wood Escape into an old tree and then continued to escape through the roots to a location dozens of miles away. Only when he confirmed it was relatively safe did he finally take a deep breath.

The expedition to the Feixing Secret Realm was extremely perilous.

Had he not been patient enough and refrained from competing with the Soul-devouring Demon and other Golden Core cultivators for fortunes, he might have casually become the Blood Essence for that Nascent Soul Stage Demon Wolf.

“Crisp crackling~~~”

Accompanied by the sound of bursting bones, Ning Daoran quickly circulated the Return to Nature Level Body Refining Technique, disguising himself as a young man with broken eyebrows, his eyes emitting a fierce aura, making him look like a Demon Cultivator.

Subsequently, he took a white robe from the Storage Bag and put it on, then transformed into a streak of tunneling light, returning to the Chaotic Sect!

Several days later.

Chaotic Sect, Qiongbi Peak.

Ning Daoran, accompanied by Big Stupid Deer, emerged from underground, directly appearing in the Spiritual Field Courtyard No. 77.

“Uncle!”

“Young Master!”

Chen Weimo and Chen Yuzhu were both shocked and delighted.

“Cough cough…”

Ning Daoran said, “Having returned from traveling abroad, have you two diligently cultivated during these days?”

“Yes, indeed, young master, don’t worry.”

Chen Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

Chen Weimo felt somewhat ashamed. She had already given up on cultivation, merely completing her daily chores was enough; after all, she was getting older, her vitality waning, and Foundation Establishment was completely out of hope.

On the contrary, Chen Yuzhu advanced in cultivation rapidly and was treated as Chen Weimo’s personal legacy and hope.

“Chen Weimo, slaughter two Spirit Chickens. I’ll go to the backyard to catch some fish, and we’ll have a nice meal tonight!”

“Yes, Uncle!”

…

Fish Pond.

“Go!”

Ning Daoran patted the Spirit Beast Bag, releasing Little Blackie.

Instantly, the giant Ink Jiao Dragon hit the water, causing the school of Spirit Fish to panic.

Their nemesis had returned!

Originally, a few nearly sentient Spirit Fish had planned to rally all the Spirit Fish to openly elect a Fish King to reign supreme over the pond again.

But now, with the return of the Second-rank Ink Jiao Dragon, all such dreams dissolved like mirrored flowers and water moon.

A sense of grief filled the water.

Ning Daoran ignored all that and scooped up a ten-pound Big Green Fish from the water, then began preparing the legendary Three Delicacies from One Fish.

Late at night.

Well-fed and with his mood settled, Ning Daoran descended twenty zhang deep into his secret chamber, where he began to decipher several Storage Bags’ marks.

Now at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his mana was profoundly deep, making it not too difficult to erase the marks of Old Monster Jinxia and Lay Practitioner Bai Ming.

Not long after, magical treasures floated out one after another.

First was the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, which was lustrous, clear, and rich in Essence Qi. Ning Daoran even suspected it might actually be an Ancient Treasure.

This bracelet, like the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll, was a treasure suited for both offense and defense. Theoretically, it was a notch above the scroll and also very aesthetically pleasing.

Years back, when he had caught a glimpse of it outside the Cangnan Secret Realm, the impression it left was profound.

At that time, Ning Daoran actually felt that the bracelet did not suit Old Monster Tian Hai very well; rather, it matched Jiang Yu, the deeply mana-endowed senior sister with mesmerizing charm.

He furrowed his brows.

He had considered gifting the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet to Jiang Yu to offset the favor of her gifting him the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

After all, the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven was a Grotto Heaven Magical Treasure of immeasurable value, possibly even surpassing the bracelet.

However, he soon dismissed the idea.

Firstly, he needed powerful magical treasures for protection, and this bracelet was top-tier, potentially life-saving during critical moments.

Secondly, as a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator and leader of a sect, possessing two top-tier Spirit Stone mines, Jiang Yu certainly had access to top-grade treasures and did not need his worries.

Thirdly, him being able to secure such a top-tier treasure at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was not reasonable, and since this bracelet was once the possession of Old Monster Tian Hai, it was essentially “stolen goods” that could cause trouble if revealed.

Thus, it was best to secretly keep it for himself!

…

“Sigh~~”

He gently expelled a breath of Samadhi True Fire, began re-refining the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, erasing Old Monster Jinxia’s Divine Soul Mark, and making it his own magical treasure.

The refining process took an entire day and night.

It was indeed a Third-tier Top-Grade Magical Treasure; refining it as a mere beginner in Foundation Establishment required a significant amount of time.

If he didn’t possess the Eighteen Layer Longevity Technique, Ning Daoran might have needed months or even half a year to refine this magical treasure!

Of course, using the bracelet instantly consumed a vast amount of mana, which meant Ning Daoran, with his foundation, could not sustain its use.

It could only be deployed in an instant, to resist an enemy’s fierce attack or ambush an opponent, but even those capabilities were already sufficient.
