Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 541 - 539: Meeting Chen Sanli Again

Several months later, the turmoil in Sangyu Country settled, and the new emperor ascended to the throne, announcing his reign to the world.

In the afternoon, outside the city.

In the lush woods, two figures walked side by side, one being Ning Daoran, the other being Lin Guo, who had just been released.

At this moment, the once glorious Lin Wuxian seemed extremely serene.

Ning Daoran took her to many places, the newly reconstructed Martial Temple, the streets and alleys within the capital city, the villages outside the city, watching farmers sow and fishermen cast nets, all just to calm her mental state.

"How about now, do you still think about dying for the Chen Dynasty?" Ning Daoran asked.

"..."

Lin Guo was somewhat lost in thought, and after a while, she softly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, thank you."

"You needn’t be so formal with me. Your Four Symbols Spear Technique was a gift from you, I owe you a great debt, and these past few months have been my way of repaying that debt."

"So after returning the favor, Fellow Daoist Ning, are you no longer a friend of Lin Guo, is that it?"

"Of course not."

Ning Daoran said helplessly, "No matter how far apart, no matter at the ends of the earth, you and I are friends."

"Good."

Lin Guo pursed her red lips, caught an insect on a nearby branch with her hand, and then let it fly away. frёeωebɳovel.com

"I plan to return to the Lin Family Ancestral Land."

She turned to look to the south, slowly saying, "The Lin Family Ancestral Land is deep in the southern woods. Although it has declined, there should still be a few descendants suitable for martial training. I will personally teach them martial arts after I return, to cultivate a few good seeds for the Lin Family."

"That is very good."

Ning Daoran nodded and smiled, "If I have free time, I will come to visit you."

"Really?"

Lin Guo took out a jade talisman and handed it to him, saying, "This is the location of the Lin Family Ancestral Land. If Fellow Daoist Ning truly wishes to find Lin Guo, you can follow the guidance inside this jade talisman."

"Okay."

Ning Daoran accepted the jade talisman.

Lin Guo smiled and bowed, "With this, I take my leave. We’ll meet again in the Jianghu!"

Ning Daoran returned the salute.

When he looked up again, Lin Guo had already turned into a silhouette disappearing southward over the top of the forest, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

A Martial God in the early Primordial Chaos stage, now freeing herself from all bonds, there was nowhere in the world she could not go. Only at this moment, Lin Wuxian was truly free.

Ning Daoran took a deep breath and then transformed into a streak of blood-red tunneling light, heading toward Hun State.

...

Days of cultivation on Liuyun Mountain passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, six years had gone by.

Today, Ning Daoran decided to go out to Wuzhou City to purchase a batch of new materials for arrays, as several fourth-tier arrays lacked some rare supplemental materials, which were not available in Dongming City but had been seen last time in Wuzhou.

Changing into a blue shirt and disguising himself as Master Qiu Shui, he went upstream with Big Stupid Deer.

At this time, the world was in great chaos, although the Li Family Emperor had ascended to the throne, the cultivation communities in the various states of Sangyu Country were thrown into disorder, with numerous robbery cultivators rampaging and looting various sects and cultivation forces.

Ning Daoran couldn’t help but secretly have contempt, Shen Luoyan staged a play to destroy the Chen Dynasty but did not help the new dynasty stabilize the regions. Slaying Immortal Tower really is nothing more than a ragtag troupe!

In Wuzhou City, First-class Pavilion.

After purchasing the materials, Ning Daoran made a brief stop in the city.

At a nearby table, a Golden Core Early Stage old man was enjoying Spiritual Tea with his Qi Refining Middle Stage young disciple, looking as if watching the world’s drama with a smile.

"Master."

The little disciple looked at the cavalry continually rushing down the street and frowned, "Is Wuzhou going to war again?"

"Hmph!"

The old Golden Core narrowed his eyes, laughing, "The Lingnan Zhao are unhappy with the Li Family ascending the throne, perhaps feeling resentful. They have now garnered a large amount of forces from both mountains and valleys to resist the new dynasty. It’s said that the Lingnan King has recently recruited a group of powerful robbery cultivators and is about to attack Zhenxian Tower outside the city. It should be time by now."

"Oh..."

The disciple seemed to understand but merely nodded.

"Fellow Daoist,"

Ning Daoran spoke up, "May I know if Zhenxian Tower outside the city is still occupied by Chen Sanli, Immortal Chen?"

"Indeed!"

The old Golden Core looked at Ning Daoran, eyes brightening as he smiled, "Fellow Daoist knows Chen Sanli?"

"Just a little acquainted."

Ning Daoran frowned, asking, "What’s the background of this Lingnan King?"

"What background can he have, nothing more than a lord with great power."

The old Golden Core shook his head, smiling, "We cultivators... it’s better not to get involved in such affairs. Those little benefits, we can’t get a share anyway."

"Very true, Fellow Daoist,"

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded.

After finishing the tea, he rose to his feet: "Old Lu, let’s go!"

"Oow oow~~~"

Big Stupid Deer stood up, and together with Ning Daoran, they shot up from the ground, transforming into two blood-red streaks of tunneling light that flew out the window, heading straight south!

"Ah?"

Old Golden Core felt a chill in his heart, suddenly getting goosebumps. The aura emitted by this man and deer in that instant was actually at the Nascent Soul Early Stage!

"Master, what’s wrong?" The young disciple, with his low cultivation, didn’t notice anything amiss.

"Nothing... Nothing..."

Old Golden Core wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that this state city indeed hid dragons and crouching tigers. He, merely an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, must never be arrogant again in the future, otherwise he might unknowingly lose his life!

...

Outside the city, in the lush southern forests.

In the midst of the woods stood a towering building, precisely the Zhenxian Tower that guarded Wuzhou City!

"Hmm?"

Ning Daoran had not approached yet but already smelled traces of blood in the air, indicating ongoing carnage, and could even see the figures of cultivators darting across in flying shuttles.

Following the scent of blood, the ground outside the Zhenxian Tower was littered with bodies scattered haphazardly, most of which were the tower’s martial artists, all from the Condensed Liquid Realm, clad in Cloud Pattern Captain Uniforms.

"Damn it!"

Below Zhenxian Tower, an early-stage Baodan martial artist, his body swelling with blood qi, roared, "Those who can still breathe, follow me for one more charge. As long as we break their prohibition, we can escort Immortal Chen out... We cannot let Immortal Chen die a suffocating death here!"

"Charge!"

A group of blood-soaked martial artists charged out, but what met them was a rain of swords. The cultivators surrounding the Zhenxian Tower were numerous, many of them strong Golden Core cultivators, who had already set up prohibitions and readied their magical treasures, just waiting for their foes to walk into death.

"Whoosh!"

Ning Daoran cast a spell and earth tunneled, avoiding several obvious prohibitions, and tunneled directly beneath the Zhenxian Tower. He then used the Wood Escape along the building’s structure to silently ascend to the top floor.

The scent of blood grew thicker. By the window of the top floor, a few young Condensed Liquid Realm martial artists were on high alert, with an old, blood-stained figure lying behind them.

This person was none other than Chen Sanli, severely wounded all over and his aura fluctuating wildly.

After many years apart, Ning Daoran hadn’t expected Chen Sanli to end up in such a state.

The void slightly distorted, and Ning Daoran appeared out of thin air.

"Who?"

The young martial artists turned together, their swords and blades drawn.

"Nascent Soul... Nascent Soul Stage?"

Chen Sanli’s pupils constricted sharply. Gazing at the figure who emerged from the void, he felt an overwhelming familiarity, almost bursting into tears and stammered, "Ning... Fellow Daoist Ning? No... Senior Ning, have you advanced to Nascent Soul?"

"Indeed, it is I."

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, "Immortal Chen, long time no see."

"Indeed, it has been a long time..."

Chen Sanli revealed a bitter smile, "But I didn’t expect that upon reunion, Fellow Daoist would see me in such a state."

"Sangyu Country is in chaos; no one can stay detached, particularly someone like Immortal Chen, who is involved with the court."

Ning Daoran’s mouth curved into a smile, "Immortal Chen, how about a deal? I help you escape from here, and you owe me a favor. Someday, you’ll have to treat me to a drink, and I’ll choose the type of Spiritual Wine myself. Don’t be stingy with the spirit stones."

"It’s nothing, just a drink of Spiritual Wine..."

Chen Sanli was initially delighted but then started to worry, saying, "However... the matters at Zhenxian Tower, I’m afraid Fellow Daoist might not be able to handle. The Lingnan King has decided to annihilate Zhenxian Tower and kill Chen Sanli. Fellow Daoist may not know, but outside there’s an early-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, extremely formidable... "

He frowned, "Fellow Daoist is not a person from Zhenxian Tower, it’s better not to get involved. You should leave now, I believe the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator won’t make it difficult for you."

"Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator?"

Ning Daoran smiled lightly, he had already used his Nascent Soul Divine Sense to scout that Nascent Soul, whose cultivation was merely average, absolutely not worth his concern.

"Why beat around the bush, Immortal Chen."

Ning Daoran slightly raised his eyebrows, "Since I’ve already offered to save you, why not just agree and leave with me?"

As he spoke, he turned to the few young Condensed Liquid young men, "You foolish young fellows, stop dawdling. Help your Immortal Chen and follow me out of here."

"Yes!"

The young martial artists, visibly excited, quickly helped Chen Sanli up.

Ning Daoran stepped out of the window and glided out, his hands clasped behind him, summoning the Cold Dragon Stone Plate, forming a blue barrier that protected the space behind him, saying, "Just follow me."

"Yes, Senior!"

The young martial artists, filled with gratitude, aided Chen Sanli out of the Zhenxian Tower, following behind Ning Daoran.
