Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 283 - 281 Accidental Gain

Chapter 283: Chapter 281 Accidental Gain

Chapter 283 -281 Accidental Gain

Several days later, under the nourishment of the Eternal Green Technique, Han Bing’s injuries had basically healed, and she returned to Purple Cloud Peak to continue her seclusion for consolidating her cultivation.

Ning Daoran still resided at Qiongbi Peak. He didn’t leave in a hurry—there were some matters that he must resolve for his young junior sister.

…

In the dead of night, following the sending of several Sound Transmission Talismans, not long after, the figures of Lin Yun, Zhou Qingshan, and Lin Ye gathered at Qiongbi Peak.

“Shua shua shua~~”

With a flick of his sleeve, Ning Daoran enveloped the living room with layers of Third-tier Restriction, completely isolating this place from the outside world.

Instantly, Lin Yun and the others were inwardly astonished.

Back when Ning Daoran left the Sect, it was said that his Array Path cultivation was extraordinarily notable. Now that he had become a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, who could know to what extent his Array Path prowess had reached!

“Speak.”

Holding his tea cup, Ning Daoran said, “There’s no one else here, and you all are elders with profound seniority in the Sect. What exactly happened to my junior sister’s injuries, and who did she have a conflict with during my absence?”

Lin Ye was speechless and glanced at Lin Yun, seemingly seeking his opinion.

Zhou Qingshan remained silent. The events regarding Han Bing’s injury had been explicitly ordered not to be spread. The impact was too significant—if the news leaked, it could affect the entire Chaotic Sect.

“Uncle Ning.”

Finally, it was Lin Yun who spoke, “The matter of the Sect Master’s injury is related to the Chang Family of Qiushui Lake.”

“Oh?”

Ning Daoran frowned, “Let’s hear the details.”

“Yes.”

Lin Yun nodded respectfully, “Several years ago, the Chang Family from Qiushui Lake once again took action to clear out the descendants of the Han Family with extremely ruthless means. The False Core Ancestor Chang Hao personally made a move, and it’s said that a genius of the Han Family with a Fourth Grade Spirit Root was killed. The incident caused a huge uproar. The descendants of the Han Family came to the Sect, pleading desperately for the Sect Master to take revenge for the Han Family.”

He paused, then continued, “I think, the matters of the Han Family at Qiushui Lake have always been a knot in the Sect Master’s heart. In the end, she decided to take action, but the Sect Master didn’t want to use the power of the Chaotic Sect and only took Elder Ning Xinran from Purple Cloud Peak with her. The two stirred up a great battle at Qiushui Lake, and the Sect Master killed the False Core Ancestor Chang Hao of the Chang Family.

However, she was later ambushed by Chang Hao’s good friend, the Mid-stage Golden Core Nine Revolutions True Man, suffering severe injuries. Elder Ning Xinran was even killed by Nine Revolutions True Man. This battle significantly injured the Sect Master and was also a huge loss for our Chaotic Sect.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Ning Daoran’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, “What about now? What’s the situation at Qiushui Lake now?”

“After the Sect Master was injured, the Inner Sect’s Three Peaks held a discussion and decided that this matter can’t just be dropped. Thus, the Chaotic Sect joined forces with the Star Moon Pavilion and the Steel Gate Sect’s fellow daoists to completely drive out the influence of the Chang Family from Qiushui Lake. Now, Qiushui Lake is under the control of the Han Family’s descendants, but the Nine Revolutions True Man has yet to show himself…”

Lin Yun expressed his worries, “The Nine Revolutions True Man is an Independent Practitioner who has always been inscrutable, even claiming to be the second Huanglong True Man, boasting that he alone could flatten the Chaotic Sect. His arrogance is extremely overbearing. As long as this person is alive, he remains a significant threat to our Chaotic Sect.”

“I understand.”

Ning Daoran slowly stood up, “You all may return. I have now comprehended the ins and outs of the matter. Let Old Lu and I handle the rest. You don’t need to worry.”

“Yes!”

Zhou Qingshan and Lin Ye nodded emphatically.

“Uncle Ning…”

Lin Yun, however, frowned, “The Nine Revolutions True Man is a Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and it is said that from his youth, he has been an Independent Practitioner, dealing with the Cultivation World’s trials and tribulations for many years with extremely ruthless and cunning methods. If Uncle Ning truly intends to take action against the Nine Revolutions True Man, you must prepare a foolproof plan. After all, one fears not the ten thousand, but the ‘just in case’…”

“Don’t worry.”

Ning Daoran chuckled lightly, “I will be careful.”

Saying so, he rose into the air, heading straight for Purple Cloud Peak.

…

“Elder brother?”

Han Bing dispelled the Cave Mansion Restriction and walked out with her long dress floating.

“There’s something I forgot to give you.”

Ning Daoran slapped his Storage Bag and immediately an exquisitely crafted Inner Armor floated out, “This armor is named Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor, an item I obtained by chance. It’s a Third-Order Mid-Grade Magical Treasure Level Inner Armor. Whenever you leave to fight with others, make sure to wear it on your person. This armor can save your life.”

He felt somewhat emotional.

Had Han Bing worn the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor when she last took action, she surely wouldn’t have been injured so severely.

A Magic Treasure Level Inner Armor can have a considerable impact on battles between Golden Core cultivators.

“Okay…”

Han Bing pursed her red lips and, without being pretentious, took the Inner Armor with both hands and immediately channeled mana into it to put it on.

Instantly, the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor transformed into a glow within Han Bing’s dress, initiating the adaptive system that rapidly morphed into a soft armor suitable for female cultivators. It looked nearly invisible, not affecting the beauty in the slightest.

“It’s done.”

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded, raising his hand to ruffle Han Bing’s head, “Continue your seclusion, cultivate well.”

“Mhm!”

Han Bing nodded with a smile as Ning Daoran turned and left, transforming into a tunneling light with White Deer.

“Hmph~~~”

The corners of Han Bing’s mouth lifted slightly, her hands softly touching the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor on her chest, her pretty face blushing slightly. Although the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Armor wasn’t some top-tier treasure, it was still quite famous in the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World—the treasure of the Red Leaf Valley Divine Weapon Sect. How did it become his “item obtained by chance”?

Bad senior brother, you can’t even lie!

In the evening breeze, Ning Daoran’s leisurely tunneling light headed south, yet his mind was meticulously going over the events at Qiushui Lake again and again.

The only way to ensure the young junior sister could rest easy was to eliminate Nine Revolutions True Man.

But Nine Revolutions True Man was a Loose Cultivator, always elusive and without a fixed abode, like a dragon seen in head but not in tail.

Therefore, the best clue to finding Nine Revolutions True Man’s whereabouts still lay with the people from the Chang Family.

After all, the encounter of Han Bing and Ning Xinran at Qiushui Lake, with both Chang Hao and Nine Revolutions True Man taking action at the same time, was clearly a trap set by the Chang Family for the junior sister. Chang Hao’s ambition was great; he aimed to eliminate Han Bing directly so that the Chang Family could permanently occupy the Spirit Vein of Qiushui Lake.

Nine Revolutions True Man not only had connections with the Chang Family but there must have been business dealings as well; plotting to kill Han Bing was one of their businesses.

And now, finding the core members of the Chang Family might reveal Nine Revolutions True Man’s whereabouts!

According to the descriptions from Lin Yun, Chen Yuzhu and others, the Chang Family had not been wiped out; after all, established and orthodox groups like Star Moon Pavilion and Steel Gate Sect had merely expelled the Chang Family members from Qiushui Lake.

The current descendants of the Chang Family, it is said, had all changed their names and scattered to hide in the Green Bamboo Square not far from Qiushui Lake.

Their reluctance to leave was naturally because they felt with Nine Revolutions True Man, a Mid-stage Golden Core, as their backer, they would be able to return to Qiushui Lake sooner or later and continue to control that Spirit Vein.

“Green Bamboo Square…”

Ning Daoran’s mouth curled into a smile, rapidly executing the Body Tempering Technique, altering his appearance to match that of Independent Practitioner Jianjia.

Murder and arson were tasks best suited to Independent Practitioner Jianjia!

Several days later, in Green Bamboo Square.

After a spring shower, the square was teeming with people.

Mortal foot traders, porters, along with many Loose Cultivators and Family Cultivators residing in the square, each seeking their own fortune and opportunity.

Beside a teahouse, Ning Daoran, in the guise of Independent Practitioner Jianjia, had set up a stall to sell Talismans.

At this time, his outward cultivation level was maintained at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

As for the Talismans he was selling, all were personally crafted. It’s been eighteen years since parting with Lin Man, and in those eighteen years, Ning Daoran had not been idle, working hard to study the Talismanic way, eventually grasping some insights. Now, he was a Second-Order Middle Grade Talisman Master.

Actually, it was mainly supported by his Realm.

Being a Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, he naturally stood high and saw far. He could understand the principles behind many techniques in the Cultivation Hundred Arts at first glance. Although his talent in the way of talismans left much to be desired, leveraging his higher realm, it was not difficult to grind his way to becoming a Second Order Talisman Master.

Ning Daoran had been running his stall in the square for seven or eight days and was extremely popular.

With numerous Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement cultivators in Green Bamboo Square, the demand for his Second-tier and First-tier Talismans was tremendous. So, in just seven or eight days, his reputation had grown, and many in Green Bamboo Square knew about the arrival of a Loose Cultivator Talisman Master near the teahouse.

Even a few Cultivation Families had reached out to Ning Daoran, but he had refused them all.

“Fellow Daoist.”

That afternoon, an old man in a green robe stopped in front of the stall, saying, “Fellow Daoist, are you the Transcendent Zhang who recently sells Second-tier and First-tier Talismans in the square?”

“That is indeed me.”

Ning Daoran glanced over; the other concealed his cultivation level, appearing to be at Early-stage Foundation Establishment while actually at Late-stage, but the method was so crude that it was transparent at first glance.

“Are you looking to purchase Talismans?” he asked with a smile.

“There’s no rush for the Talismans.”

The old man smiled and said, “I must not deceive you, Fellow Daoist, I am an Elder of the Wang Family, which possesses a Second Order High Grade Spiritual Vein. I wonder if you would be willing to join the Wang Family and serve as our Guest Elder? You need not do anything else but craft a large quantity of Talismans for the Wang Family. Of course, all materials will be provided by my family.

In addition, you are free to come and go as you please, leaving the Wang Family whenever you wish, according to your heart’s desire. Apart from the fee for crafting Talismans, we will also provide a Tribute of one thousand Spirit Stones every month. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?”

To tell the truth, it was quite tempting.

If it were an average Second-tier Foundation Establishment Talisman Master, they might have agreed on the spot. After all, there was not only a large amount of materials for practice to increase proficiency in Talisman making, but also a Tribute of a thousand Spirit Stones a month was more than enough to make the eyes of a common Foundation Establishment cultivator turn green.

Such an offer was well beyond market prices!

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, feeling that there was something fishy about such an uncommon offer, this ‘Wang’ Foundation Establishment was probably not simple.

“Really?”

He feigned great interest: “If that’s the case, the Wang Family’s terms are indeed very tempting to this poor Daoist!”

“Certainly true!”

The ‘Wang’ Foundation Establishment said: “Fellow Daoist can follow me right now to the Wang Family, and you will naturally understand the sincerity of my family.”

“Good!”

Ning Daoran immediately packed up his stall.

A hint of delight flashed in the eyes of the ‘Wang’ Foundation Establishment; recruiting a Second-Order Middle Grade Talisman Master for the family was no trivial matter, as Talismans had always been scarce commodities at any time.

In the mountains, two flickers of tunneling light flew by slowly.

Looking at the back of the head of the ‘Wang’ Foundation Establishment, Ning Daoran could hardly contain his eagerness, and with a wave of his hand, he struck with a hand-chop to topple him, immediately starting a Soul Search.

Sure enough, this person did not bear the surname Wang. His real identity was that of the former manager of the Chang Family’s boat fleet on Qiushui Lake, named Chang Kun!
