Chapter 340: Chapter 338 Five Elements Cultivation Technique

“Senior Sui Xuan has come to visit and specially to express thanks for Fellow Daoist’s assistance,”

“Fellow Daoist Sui is too courteous.”

Ning Daoran smiled lightly and led Sui Xuan and his daughter into the Cave Mansion for tea.

The interior of the Cave Mansion was quite simple; no utensils had yet been added. Big Stupid Deer prepared a small table in the pavilion and started brewing Spiritual Tea.

Sui Xuan glanced at the Spiritual Deer and immediately felt a shock in his heart. The aura emitted by the deer was a horrifying Third-order Middle-stage, a Spirit Beast like this could have the combat power comparable to a late-stage Human Clan Golden Core!

Ning Daoran himself was a Third-tier Array Master and in the Golden Core Middle Stage, and with such a Third-order Middle-stage Spiritual Deer… his true combat strength was probably already surpassing a late-stage Golden Core.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, this is my daughter, Sui Zhuyue. Zhuyue, come and greet Senior Ning.”

“Yes!”

Following behind Sui Xuan was a young lady in a green short skirt, with a fine appearance and full of spiritual energy, the type of woman who seemed vibrant at first glance.

Sui Zhuyue quickly approached, bowed to Ning Daoran with her hands clasped, and said with a smile, “Sui Zhuyue greets Senior Ning!”

“You don’t need to be so formal, Young Sui.”

Ning Daoran gestured for them to sit down. By then, Big Stupid Deer had also served three cups of Spiritual Tea. Its presence was divine, and its antlers shimmered brilliantly. The three cups of Spiritual Tea, perfectly stable atop the antlers, did not wobble at all when placed on the table. Both Sui Xuan and Sui Zhuyue took great care in handling them.

Being just a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator, and Sui Zhuyue a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, such a situation of being served tea by a Spirit Beast elder made them feel quite restrained.

“Is Fellow Daoist Ning new to Kunpeng Immortal City?” Sui Xuan asked.

“Indeed!”

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, “I’ve just arrived and happen to have many things to consult Fellow Daoist Sui about.”

“I dare not be a teacher, but if Fellow Daoist has any questions, I shall spare no detail in my answers.”

“Thank you very much!”

Then, Ning Daoran inquired about the city’s fees for refining arrays and elixirs, as well as the market situation for materials and the fluctuation of prices, mainly focusing on matters related to the business of cultivation, not mentioning other topics.

Sui Xuan, with his sharp eyes, cherished the rare interaction with a cultivator of such level, and enthusiastically shared all the information he knew. As for Sui Zhuyue, she sat quietly by her father’s side, with her legs together and hands on her lap, looking very well-behaved.

During the conversation, Ning Daoran also learned some details about Sui Xuan and Sui Zhuyue.

Sui Xuan had struggled in his early years to succeed in Core Formation and joined the ranks of Golden Core, but being straightforward in nature, he was unwilling to partake in disheartening endeavors, thus there were not many ways for him to earn Spirit Stones, only one channel remained through being a Second-Order Middle Grade Talisman Master.

Kunpeng Immortal City is a place where cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage gather like crucian carps crossing a river; thus, for Sui Xuan, with his mere Second-order Middle Grade talismanic skills, it was naturally difficult to rise to prominence within the city.

Not to mention Second Order High Grade Talismans, even Third-tier talismans could also be refined by many Talisman Masters within the city, so under such competition, the resources that Sui Xuan could secure were naturally even less. He himself consumed a massive amount of Elixir Pills and Spirit Stones for his Golden Core cultivation, and now Sui Zhuyue had also advanced to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and the Elixir Pills needed to enhance the mana at that level were not cheap either, making the life of this father and daughter duo all the more difficult.

Coincidentally, when Ning Daoran arrived in Kunpeng Immortal City, he encountered Sui Xuan wanting to cancel the lease and change his Cave Mansion, and had it not been for Ning Daoran’s help, it would have been very difficult for Sui Xuan to obtain that large amount of Spirit Stones.

After chatting leisurely for nearly two hours, Sui Xuan, accompanied by Sui Zhuyue, took his leave.

The Cave Mansion they were currently renting was at a Second-order Spirit Vein, quite far from Ning Daoran’s place on the sixty-sixth layer, but flying back and forth for cultivators was convenient nonetheless. Ning Daoran politely exchanged a few words, and Sui Xuan also expressed intentions of frequent future visits.

…

After Sui Xuan left, Ning Daoran began to arrange his Cave Mansion.

He released Little Bai to oversee the arrangement of the Cave Mansion, and before long, various pieces of furniture and decorations from Little Bai’s Storage Bag appeared in the mansion, instantly giving this sizable Cave Mansion the feel of an Immortal’s abode. He even let out Little Blackie and the Green Water Turtle to frolic around in the lotus pond.

Subsequently, Ning Daoran began a closed-door cultivation in the main hall of the Cave Mansion.

The primary goal of this cultivation was to research the Red Demon imprisoned in the Soul Refining Tower. Due to the presence of the Black Tide, it was inevitable that the Red Demon Army would make a comeback, and Ning Daoran, being a cautious person, certainly wanted to be prepared in advance.

“Ga~~~”

After laying out numerous heavy prohibitions, Ning Daoran released the Red Demon, which, although suppressed within the Soul Refining Tower, had its ferocious aura undiminished; once released, its aura continually regenerated, quickly returning it to its primed state.

Protected by the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, Ning Daoran had no concerns and began to experiment on the Red Demon.

For a time, flashes of lightning, flames, water, fierce winds, and rock spikes—all various attributes of attacks—hurled chaotically; under such fierce onslaught, the Red Demon howled continuously, extremely violent.

Ning Daoran frowned, and after a long period of research, he discovered some details—the Red Demon indeed could absorb the mana of the Five Elements, but there was a threshold to the speed of absorption; once surpassed, the overflow of mana could still inflict harm on the physical body of the Red Demon, which is why his Five Thunder Divine Spell could so starkly char the Red Demon.

Thus, cultivators with slightly lower cultivation appeared “immune” on the surface in their attacks against the Red Demon, meaning they couldn’t inflict any damage, whereas the attacks of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators could shock the heavens and the earth, capable of suppressing the Red Demon in a short period and immobilize it.

However, the Red Demon’s physical body was not within the Five Elements, and even Forbidden Techniques from Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators couldn’t kill the Red Demon’s body, at most they could temporarily paralyze its combat capabilities, and after a while, the Red Demon would absorb all the suffered Five Elements mana and launch an attack once again.

Therefore, there was a limit to the number of Red Demons a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could handle; once the number surpassed the mana capacity of the Nascent Soul Stage, situations like “ants killing an elephant” would occur, which was also the reason why Lin Qing’er, a Nascent Soul cultivator, fell during that disaster.

…

Cultivation knows no time, and in the blink of an eye, two whole years had passed.

Ning Daoran had been in closed-door cultivation for two full years, casting countless spells on the Red Demon during these years and conducting various trials in different scenarios. Ultimately, Ning Daoran concluded one thing.

To truly resolve the Red Demon’s problem, to be able to kill it in one strike when facing it, one must discover a “power outside the Five Elements,” for only by mastering this power could one handle the crisis of the Black Tide.

But the entire Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World is encompassed within the realm of heaven and earth; how can any substance, even the likes of wind, fire, and rain, escape the influence of the Five Elements?

Eventually, Ning Daoran thought of a direction—

Unification of the Five Elements!

Only by unifying the Five Elements could he attempt to suppress the Red Demon.

However, the thought of unifying the Five Elements has crossed the mind of almost every Great Cultivator, but no one who has achieved it has ever been heard of, not even the Divinity Transformation Stage seniors who have lived for thousands of years in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.

Ning Daoran decided to give it a try.

In the afternoon, he arrived at Qingfu Square, the largest shop in the city.

Qingfu Square, claiming to be the world’s number one commerce guild, spans across three nations of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World. The Qingfu Square in Kunpeng Immortal City, a top-tier Immortal City, is particularly vast, resembling a flagship store.

“Senior.”

Inside Qingfu Square, a woman in a white dress and red shirt, smiling pleasantly, approached and said, “I wonder what Senior is looking to purchase? Mei Ning could lead the way for you.”

“Mei Ning?”

Ning Daoran slightly smiled: “A lovely name. I am Ning Daoran.”

“So it’s Senior Ning!”

Mei Ning covered her mouth, giggled lightly and said, “I have never seen Senior before. Did Senior just arrive at Kunpeng Immortal City?”

“Not exactly, I settled in Kunpeng Immortal City two years ago but spent those years in closed-door cultivation.”

“I see.”

Mei Ning said softly, “May I know what Senior wishes to purchase?”

“Cultivation Techniques.”

Ning Daoran said, “I wonder if your esteemed establishment has high-level Cultivation Techniques for the Water Element, Metal, and Earth attributes?”

“We do, but it’s uncertain if they will meet the standards of Senior.”

Mei Ning, holding a peach blossom fan, smiled and said, “Please follow me, Senior. I will take you to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.”

“Thank you!”

Inside the workshop, atop a building, the air was filled with the scent of raw wood. The space within the building was vast, with rows of shelves filled categorically with various scrolls, jade scrolls, and beast bones, ranging from Yellow Rank to Earth Rank.

Ning Daoran glanced quickly; there were three Earth Rank Techniques, but they were of little use to him and highly overpriced, each costing over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, making him think, “Why don’t they just rob?”

In the section for Water Attribute Techniques, Ning Daoran examined and eventually fixed his eyes on a scroll.

Water Moon Profound Technique, a Dark Rank top-quality Cultivation Method, priced at thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones.

This price… was still somewhat expensive.

However, Ning Daoran was already liberal with his Spirit Stones and didn’t mind the cost.

He then selected two more techniques.

Golden Cauldron Profound Technique, Dark Rank top-quality Cultivation Method.

Earth Skill, Dark Rank top-quality Cultivation Method.

These three techniques together comprised the Water, Metal, and Earth attributes among the Five Elements. Ning Daoran’s idea was to cultivate each of these techniques to their essence, and their refined essences combined might reveal a way to unify the Five Elements.

“Young Mei Ning.”

Ning Daoran said, “I’ll take these three techniques. Could you possibly offer a discount, say, a total of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones?”

“This…”

Mei Ning pursed her red lips and said, “Since Senior genuinely wants them and is purchasing all three at once, I’ll take the lead this one time— one hundred thousand it is.”

“Thank you!”

Ning Daoran nodded. He didn’t need to think about it; even at one hundred thousand, Qingfu Square was definitely making a killing.

…

After acquiring the techniques, he returned to his cave mansion to continue his secluded cultivation.

An hour later.

Water Moon Profound Technique, Golden Cauldron Profound Technique, Earth Skill—all reverted to their fundamental essence!

Now, Ning Daoran possessed a Ding Fire Spirit Body, a Fourth Grade Spirit Root, and was considered a quasi-genius. He had no difficulty in quickly mastering these Dark Rank Techniques, and it took him less than four thousand years to return each to its essence.

Next, he began to try mixing the essences of Water Moon Profound Technique, Golden Cauldron Profound Technique, Earth Skill, along with Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique and Eternal Green Technique, hoping to blend the essences of all five techniques and see if any unexpected transformations emerged.
