Chapter 308 -306: Immortal Seed

The three siblings were dumbfounded as they stared at the person before them exuding an immortal charm.

“Are you… are you an Immortal?”

Zhuo Ting murmured.

“I’m merely a Cultivator.”

Ning Daoran asked again: “I’ll ask you once more, are you willing to follow me and learn martial arts? After learning, I’ll ensure you won’t lack food to eat.”

“Okay!”

Zhuo Ting nodded immediately.

“Sister!”

Zhuo Yang, being a bit older and comparatively sensible, worried Ning Daoran might be a human trafficker.

“You say you’re a Cultivator, how can you teach us martial arts?”

Zhuo Yang frowned: “Could you be a scammer?”

“To learn martial arts, what’s the difficulty?”

With a casual lift of his hand, Ning Daoran drew a blue-glowing brick into his grasp from afar, and with a “Peng” sound, he crushed it to dust, saying, “Any more questions?”

“Ahh?!”

Zhuo Yang was astonished; if he had such techniques, he wouldn’t have almost had his legs broken by the Zhang brothers last time.

“Big Brother.”

Zhuo Yu said: “What are you hesitating for? An Immortal wishes to teach us martial arts; we mustn’t miss this heaven-sent opportunity, or there won’t be a next time…”

He quickly got up awkwardly and mimicking the manner of Jianghu people, he bowed with his fists clasped: “We are willing to follow the Immortal Master and learn martial arts!”

Zhuo Yang and Zhuo Ting also stood up and bowed together.

“Promising young ones.”

Ning Daoran smiled with satisfaction, his palm raised as a strand of Evergreen Technique lifted the three siblings, taking them away from the kiln, back to the Cave Mansion.

Inside the Cave Mansion, a large pot of delicious Purple Jade Spirit Rice had just finished cooking, along with several roast chickens. The three siblings devoured the food ravenously and cleaned up all the dishes, prompting Ning Daoran to shiver slightly at their appetites, nearly rivalling his own.

He took out a hand-copied Dragon Demon Heart Scripture first layer from his chest and handed it to the three, saying, “This is a technique to strengthen the body. You have one night to memorize it thoroughly, then return the technique to me. Practice diligently in the future; I will guide your Entry-level training.”

He raised his eyebrows lightly: “I won’t keep you in the Cave Mansion to practice, but I’ll make the appropriate arrangements. You will still be known as the helpers at the Wansheng Weapon Shop across the way. Apart from forging, you will also diligently practice this technique. Remember to keep it secret; do not let others know of this technique to avoid fatal troubles. I hope the three of you will seize this opportunity.”

“Yes, thank you, Master!”

The three siblings knelt down together.

“Stand up, I’m not your Master.”

Ning Daoran said indifferently: “I’m just accepting disciples on behalf of someone else. Anyway, practice the technique I’ve given you well, and I will check your progress periodically.”

“Yes!”

Zhuo Ting said: “Then… what should we call you?”

“Never mind, just call me ‘Uncle-Master’.”

“Yes, Uncle-Master!”

The girl smiled sweetly.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, calling him Uncle-Master wasn’t really an issue. After all, he too was a practitioner of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, and although he hadn’t joined Dragon Martial Mountain, he was still considered half of its own.

…

Inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

Ning Daoran walked through dozens of Dragon Demon Stakes with a calm and steady mind, only feeling the Dragon Demon Power churning inside his body, yearning to be released, almost making him itch to find someone to spar with immediately. It’s no wonder martial artists were always eager to prove their mettle. Fortunately, with the suppression of the Evergreen Technique, the Dragon Demon Power soon calmed down, turning into a vast abyss within his body.

“Young Master.”

Little Bai brought over a bowl of lotus seed soup and asked, “Do these three lads truly possess talent for martial arts?”

“Hmm, their martial arts physique is quite decent.”

Ning Daoran said: “I’ve observed them for some time and found that all three have the physique for martial arts training, and they are children who have experienced hardships. As long as they are given an opportunity, they will surely seize it with all their might.”

“That’s good.”

Little Bai smiled: “In this way, we can also give an account to Nie Shentong.”

“That remains to be seen.”

Ning Daoran said: “It depends on how far these three youngsters can cultivate the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture. If they can reach the Embracing Elixir Realm in the future, the responsibility to rebuild Dragon Martial Mountain will fall on their shoulders. If not, we’ll have to continue searching. If they can’t even reach the Embracing Elixir Realm, they won’t be able to support Dragon Martial Mountain.”

“You’re absolutely right!”

Shortly after, in the early morning.

Ning Daoran came alone to the Wansheng Weapon Shop located across the street. A fat manager of the shop, who was at the Late-stage Qi Refining, had long recognized Ning Daoran, the Golden Core Cultivator living opposite.

“Senior Ning!”

The fat manager greeted with utmost respect: “What brings Senior over to our sword casting shop?”

“I am here to find your Shopkeeper Liu. I hope you can lead the way on his behalf.”

“Of course, Senior, this way please!”

From the backyard of the Weapon Shop, a middle-aged man with a rugged appearance stepped out. His gaze was deep and resolute. It was Liu Yuting, the manager of Wansheng Weapon Shop, an Early-stage Martial Artist in the Condensed Liquid Realm. Though his hammering technique was excellent, not quite at the level of a Divine Craftsman, he had successfully forged Second Order High-Grade Weapons multiple times.

“Junior Liu greets Senior Ning with respect!”

Liu Yuting had always wanted to make the acquaintance of this Golden Core Cultivator but never had the chance. Now that the visitor had come to his doorstep, he was overjoyed: “May I know what important matter brings Senior here?”

“Actually, it’s nothing major.”

Ning Daoran said, “I was entrusted by a friend to take in three disciples and teach them some basic cultivation techniques. However, I prefer my Cave Mansion to remain a quiet place, hence the three cannot stay there. Therefore, I came to discuss with the shopkeeper the possibility of letting these three stay at your Weapon Shop, allowing them to do some servant work while practicing their martial arts on the side?

Rest assured, Shopkeeper Liu, I shall generously compensate the Weapon Shop for their living expenses and so forth. Additionally, here is a very elementary handbook of hammering technique insights from a Divine Craftsman friend of mine, given as a small token of appreciation. I hope you won’t find it too modest.”

“Oh?”

Liu Yuting cracked a slight smile: “This is indeed not a major issue. Our Weapon Shop has more than two hundred mouths to feed including disciples and servants, three more won’t make a difference. As for these insights on hammering technique…”

He picked up the handbook that consisted of only a few pages, not expecting much from it, considering he was just a Golden Core Early Stage Loose Cultivator with little to no knowledge of hammering techniques.

But as Liu Yuting’s eyes fell on the first few lines, he was struck as if by lightning, his mind buzzing. The lines were straightforward and enlightening, and proved incredibly beneficial to the advancement of his own hammering technique!

In truth, these hammering insights were naturally written by Big Stupid Deer.

Ever since reaching Golden Core Stage, Big Stupid Deer had been diligently making up for his lack of cultural knowledge, and now had long mastered reading and writing. The insights were penned carelessly, just in time for Ning Daoran to use as a favor. This ensured that Liu Yuting would take extra care of the three Zhuo siblings.

“Senior Ning, you are too kind!”

Liu Yuting immediately accepted the hammering insights and spoke earnestly: “Senior and our Weapon Shop are neighbors. For the living expenses of the three disciples, I, Liu Yuting, will not accept a single cent. It is an honor for you to trust our Weapon Shop with them, and we will take good care of them. Please be entirely at ease, Senior.”

“In that case, many thanks to the shopkeeper!”

“Senior is being too polite!”

Liu Yuting respectfully saw Ning Daoran out of the shop, his gaze following the departing figure like that of parting with a family member.

In the afternoon.

Ning Daoran led the three Zhuo siblings to the Weapon Shop where Liu Yuting personally arranged their accommodation in a side room in the backyard. The room had a communal sleeping area, normally accommodating at least a dozen disciples, but Liu Yuting, being extraordinarily generous, declared the entire room would only be for the three, without placing anyone else there.

The three Zhuo siblings were greatly excited.

They had previously stayed for half a month at the Weapon Shop, only managing to sleep in a crowded communal area where turning over was a struggle. Now, such living conditions were beyond their imagination.

After Liu Yuting left, Ning Daoran repeatedly cautioned: “Remember to diligently practice your martial arts, do not show off or be reckless in the shop, and do not bully others using your martial skills, or else, do not blame me for not showing mercy.”

“Uncle-Master, rest assured, we will be obedient!”

Zhuo Yang said, “We will work hard in the shop and will not neglect our martial practice.”

“That’s good.”

Ning Daoran nodded: “Someone will regularly bring you elixir pills for your cultivation.”

“Yes, Uncle-Master!”

…

A month later.

The three Zhuo siblings had entered the Early Stage Blood Qi Realm one after another. Indeed, as Ning Daoran had predicted, all three had a decent martial foundation, especially Zhuo Ting, whose talent was even considered first-rate.

Then, Ning Daoran left a Class A Paperfolk in the Cave Mansion and gave it a vial of True Blood Pills; this Paperfolk would deliver one True Blood Pill to each of the Zhuo siblings every year to support their Blood Qi needs.

To cultivate the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture with True Blood Pills was a luxury that even former True Disciples of Dragon Martial Mountain could not have imagined. Yet, these three siblings knew nothing about it.

Half a year later, Ning Daoran reached the Eleventh layer of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, and his power had increased significantly again.

At this time, Fierce Sun Dao Palace released news. The once-in-a-decade opening of the Mountain Gate was approaching, and those seeking “Immortal Seeds” began to get busy.

According to the information gathered by the Paperfolk, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator named Chen San was residing in the Lu Mountain Building in the city. He was reputedly searching for Immortal Seeds on behalf of Fierce Sun Dao Palace, was well-connected in Yangji City, and frequently ventured out. Over the years, he had provided several Immortal Seeds to the Dao Palace, some of whom had even become Inner Sect Disciples of Fierce Sun Dao Palace.

As a result, Chen San received many benefits and took to the task of searching for Immortal Seeds with relish.

…

In the afternoon.

Ning Daoran changed into a green short robe and disguised himself as a young and immature boy. He revolved his Return to Nature Divine Skills at the Returning to Nature Level, keeping his cultivation at the Qi Refining Fourth Level and exhibiting the appearance of a sixteen-year-old. Moreover, he suppressed his Spirit Root’s responsiveness, displaying it as a Fifth-grade Fire Spirit Root. With these adjustments, he could be considered an inconspicuous “Immortal Seed.”

At Lu Mountain Building.

Filled with the scent of meat and wine, Ning Daoran made his way upstairs and spotted the legendary Chen San sitting by the window. He was a lean cultivator in the Early-stage Foundation Establishment with shrewd eyes.

“Is Senior Chen San?”

He directly recommended himself: “Junior Ning Cheng, at Qi Refining Fourth Level with a Fifth-grade Fire Spirit Root, has traveled from Qingzhou. I wonder if I could catch Senior’s discerning eye, and if there’s a chance for me to enter Fierce Sun Dao Palace?”
