Chapter 82: Wu Lao's Wisdom and Ning Fu's Protection

  "Huh?"

  Ning Feng saw the four words "Starlight Refining Treasure Technique" and subconsciously thought of the Huo Huan flag, his spirit involuntarily stirring.

  Next to him, Ning Caichen refilled his tea cup again and again, drinking until he was bored out of his mind.

  Feeling that it was the last one, with the remaining jade slip being unimportant, and not disturbing Ning Feng, he finally spoke out in a stifled tone: "Son, are these things useful?"

  Ning Feng had just roughly browsed through the Star Refining Treasure Manual, and only then did he move the cow-bone-colored jade slip from his forehead, his face showing an indescribable strangeness.

  Useful...

  Although the methods recorded on some jade slips are ordinary and not worth paying attention to, the ideas behind them are quite insightful and have a ripple effect.

  "That's good, that's good."

  Ning Caichen cracked his fists and rubbed his palms, feeling great, as long as he was useful.

  During the conversation between the two father and son, for such a long time, there was always a middle-aged man with a goat beard standing at the door, paying attention to the movement here.

  Upon hearing Ning Feng's words, the goat-bearded man plucked a few of his whiskers, and though he wanted to disagree, he thought that since Ning Feng was a direct disciple of the Divine Palace, with the precious treasures stored in the Incense Pavilion for thousands of years, and the Nine Laws and Thirteen Transformations renowned throughout the world, it wasn't surprising that he looked down on these things.

  The goat beard sighed in his heart: "Alas, the treasure that is rare and precious in the eyes of scattered cultivators, high and unattainable, accumulated over many years just to bear the pain of coming to see it once, in his eyes, it's just a matter of analogy."

  Ning Caichen finally shifted his attention from his son, "Ah, I see" the goat beard, and suddenly remembered that there was such a person. He introduced: "Son, this is Wu Yingming, the old master of our Langya Fudi, who is in charge of appraising and grading various jade slips purchased."

  "Ning Feng has met Wu Lao before. Thanks to Wu Lao's presence, Langya blessed land can operate smoothly, Ning Feng pays his respects here."

  Ning Feng was very polite. After a brief glance just now, he could completely confirm that this old man with low cultivation was truly talented and had real skills.

  If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be these things that catch his eye, especially...

  Ning Feng's gaze involuntarily fell on the jade slip that recorded the Starlight Refining Treasure Technique.

  "It's too kind of you, Master Dong is being too polite."

  Wu Yingming hastily declined and said: "If it weren't for the master's idea of benefiting all scattered cultivators, Wu would also be useless."

  He himself became emotional, and sighed: "If Wu had such a master when he was young, who knows, maybe it wouldn't have been like this. At least he wouldn't have sought immortality in vain and spent his whole life in frustration."

  Ning Feng glanced at Ning Cai Chen, his old father looked pleased with himself, that expression seemed to be saying: "Well said, come on. Say some more."

  "This idea of father is really good, as for Yu San Xiu. Indeed, there's nothing more precious than this."

  "In the past, things that had to be exchanged for with blood and tears can now be obtained by gritting one's teeth and exchanging them for spiritual jade. In the future, when it becomes big, I don't know how many people will benefit from this."

  Ning Feng thought of the crowds he had seen outside Langya Blissful Land before, and this was just one place in Chaoyang Town. He didn't know how many cultivators' lives had been changed.

  What if it's all over the world?

  Ning Feng had to admit that Ning Cai Chen's idea about Langya blessed land was indeed extraordinary, and the grandeur of it could be considered a great event in the history of cultivating immortals.

  "Wu Lao Da Cai, Ning Feng has already experienced it."

  Ning Feng stretched out his hand to pat the jade slips that had been browsed through and piled up on one side, then picked up the cow-bone-colored jade slip and asked: "There is only one thing that I don't understand, does Wu Lao have any impression of this jade slip?"

  Yes!

  Wu Yingming had just read for half a day, and replied without thinking: "This records the practice of a star-refining treasure-raising technique. According to its explanation, Wu guessed that this should be a method specifically used for refining treasures."

  "Although I don't know its efficacy, it should be no less than the forbidden techniques of several major sects in this world that are not spread outside."

  "Isn't it inferior?" Ning Feng silently added in his heart: "Far from it!"

  "What a pity..."

  Wu Lao grasped his wrist and sighed, "The day we sold this jade slip to our Luoyang blessed land was a young man. According to him, his ancestors also had a connection with the Temple of the Sun God, but it has long since declined."

  Yu Jian was a method created by his ancestors, originally two jade slips, upper and lower.

  "This is Volume 2."

  Wu Lao pointed to the cow bone-colored jade slip and said, "Inside there is a complete set of Star Refining Treasure Manual, but it lacks the most crucial method of guiding star power, rendering it useless."

  "Wu Mou took it as a treasure, valuing its rarity and preciousness of the Star Refining Treasure Manual, as well as the ideas inside. As for its true value..."

  Wu Yingming's old face turned red with shame, and he said, "It has no use."

  His words were clear and concise, even Ning Caichen, a complete outsider, understood them.

  The Xīng Chén Liàn Bǎo Jué should be a good thing, but without the Xié Yǐn Xīng Lì Fā Mén, it's just a pure waste.

  Ning Cai Chen and Wu Ying Ming did not notice that Ning Feng's face had turned strange again, just like when he first saw the contents of the Cow Bone Jade Strip.

  "Is this a case of 'as soon as I lay down my head, drowsiness arrives'? Or is it that as soon as I touch the pillow, the sleep demon immediately surrenders?"

  Ning Feng played with the cattle bone jade slip, lost in thought and speechless.

  After that, Wu Yingming said with embarrassment, and then continued to express his views.

  "Master, in Wu Xuan's view, the first volume of the Star Refining Treasure Manual should be a grand and complex array, mainly used to guide star power, which is the essence of the entire Star Refining Treasure Manual."

  "The content of this second half is perfect, it uses the power of the stars to form a seal within the treasure, this idea can be borrowed, and there's nothing else."

  Ning Feng generally didn't dare say that inviting Xing Li would be a problem, since his own master had just rewarded him with the Huo Huan flag this morning?

  He thought for a moment and said: "Wu Lao, Ning Feng wants to trouble you with something."

  "Please speak, Young Master."

  Ning Feng waved the jade tablet in his hand and said, "I've taken this jade tablet away. The news about the Star Refining Treasure Technique in the blessed land of Langya will be known only to us three from now on."

  "One day, if there is news about the first half of this method or a message from that young man who sold jade slips, Old Wu will pay attention to it. If there is any gain, report back to me."

  Ning Feng's explanation left Wu Yingming bewildered, but he still agreed immediately, it was just a casual task after all.

  "Wu Lao, you can go and attend to your business now, don't worry about us father and son anymore."

  Ning Cai Chen looked at Ning Feng after he finished his explanation, waved his hand and said with a somewhat majestic tone.

  Wu Yingming indeed accumulated a lot of things and retreated in an orderly manner.

  Wait until his footsteps are gone. Ning Caichen is still uneasy, peering out the door and then closing it to come over, asking nervously: "Good stuff? Found treasure?"

  Ning Feng was first astonished, then burst out laughing, indeed it's true that no one knows a son better than his father.

  He was in a great mood, and suddenly thought of Shu Bailin, subconsciously imitating his tone and lowering his voice: "Very good, extremely precious!"

  "Haha, that's good. That's good, put it away. Put it away."

  Ning Caichen laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, and after finishing speaking, he said with a pleased expression: "As your father, I guessed that there might be some good things inside, which you can use, so these jade slips have not been put in the front cabinet for people to borrow."

  "In this case, only Wu Lao and my son have seen the manual, there is no copy. Wu Lao can't possibly remember everything after reading so many copies in one day. If my son takes away this jade slip, it will be his exclusive skill."

  Ning Cai Chen spoke rapidly and continuously, Ning Feng listened until he was stunned.

  He didn't bother to ask why Wu Lao thought it was only for reference, but his own son thought it was a treasure. Anyway, believing in his son was not wrong.

  Various preventive measures ensure that this method is unique to Ning Feng.

  Ning Caichen paced back and forth, his mouth moving non-stop as he considered all sorts of possibilities and scenarios.

  Ning Feng let out a long sigh of relief after Ning Cai Chen finally stopped talking: "It's good, it's good. It's still my old father at home, and he hasn't been possessed by a ghost or had any ideas about killing people to silence them."

  At the same time, Ning Feng looked at Ning Caichen with a red glow on his face, and was deeply moved, unable to speak.

  Ning Caichen's ideal was to establish a place where he could share his cultivation scriptures and benefit the world of cultivators.

  This is similar to what Ning Feng said when he first entered the Shen Gong Temple and was asked by the abbot, his answer differing only slightly from this great vow.

  Langya Bliss is just such a place, Ning Caichen has already started doing it.

  Of course, in this process, various spirits gather jade, facilitate Ningfeng, and are naturally the meaning that should be in the topic. Anyway, the original intention is always good.

  That was Ning Caichen's idea, his wish.

  But once Ning Feng was involved, Ning Cai Chen immediately changed.

  All sorts of measures, all kinds of ideas, carefully preventing, are all for letting one's own son enjoy exclusively.

  Involving Ning Feng, Ning Cai Chen's paternal instincts immediately emerged and overwhelmed everything.

  "By the way, son, isn't that Stellar Crest's first volume very important?" Ning Caichen suddenly asked as if he had just remembered something.

  Having solved the immediate problem, he is now thinking of continuing to seek benefits for his own son.

  Ning Feng smiled slightly and shook his head: "What's important isn't the first half of the book, that's useless to me. I'm just interested in the things hidden inside."

  "What's hidden?"

  "Ah, Wu Lao has a broad knowledge and sufficient discernment of various martial arts techniques. Father, you're lucky to have found him to help."

  Would you like to hear Ning Feng's praise? Before Ning Cai Chen's pleased expression had a chance to fully emerge, he continued: "However, this old man ultimately has limited vision and can't see some things clearly."

  He raised the jade slip in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became profound. "The Star Refining Treasure Raising Method involves introducing star power to form a natural treasure seal, which is definitely not something that can be created by personal ability."

  "Just like our Sun God Temple's Nine Laws and Thirteen Transformations, which were perfected by the ancestors of each generation with extraordinary talents."

  "The Starlight Refining Treasure Technique is also like this."

  Ning Feng said up to here, stopped talking and shook his head: "Father, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I've already instructed Wu Lao, if there's any news, he'll let me know."

  Ning Caichen nodded somewhat dazedly.

  "There's something hidden in this matter that's not trivial, it's better not to involve Father."

  Ning Feng thought to himself, feeling somewhat regretful about entrusting Wu Lao with this matter. Fortunately, there was more to the story, and heaven only knew what would happen in the future, so he didn't need to worry too much about it for now.

  "Dad, let's go back."

  Niu Bone Color Jade Strip was picked up by Ning Feng, he slowly got up, smiled and said: "Go back and have a good chat, Father, what's going on that you don't want to let your child know?"

  "Huh?"

  Ning Caichen's face turned white as if he had seen a ghost, and he instinctively wanted to shake his head.

  "Dad, I've just coaxed the child into leaving home with me. Now we can almost go back and have a good chat."

  This time, Ning Feng supported Ning Caichen's arm, and the two father and son walked towards their own courtyard.

  Unconsciously, they spent half a day in Langyafudi. The wind blew and the sun slanted, as the father and son's silhouettes sank into the western horizon...
