Chapter 101: Xu Ning Takes Action
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Ning studied the Tidal Fist overnight, but he still did not fully understand it.
Unlike other external skills, the void realm secret technique also involved complex elements such as "characteristic". It would require a few days to fully understand it and implant it on the Martial Arts Panel.
However, Xu Ning was not in a hurry.
The strength of the intention realm was enough for now.
Dawn.
Although Xu Ning only slept for an hour, he was still full of energy.
The more his realm improved, the faster his body would restore itself.
'The atmosphere in the martial arts hall seems a bit depressing.'
After breakfast, Xu Ning patrolled the martial arts hall as usual.
He noticed that only a fifth of the normal amount of apprentices were at the martial arts hall today.
Almost every instructor had a worried look on their face. They all seemed absent-minded.
But when Xu Ning passed by, their eyes were full of expectation and hope.
'Hall Master Han was really respected by the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.'
Obviously, the instructors in the martial arts hall also realized that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall was in trouble.
But so far, no one had resigned yet. On this matter, Xu Ning greatly admired Han Huxiao's personal charm.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Han Yue walked into the backyard and met with Xu Ning.
Han Yue looked a little haggard, and her hair was a little messy.
In addition to taking care of the injured Han Huxiao, she was also responsible for handling all of the administrative work in the martial arts hall.
"Thank you for staying in the martial arts hall."
Although Han Huxiao gave benefits for Xu Ning to stay, Han Yue still thanked Xu Ning for staying.
Yesterday, Han Yue also went to the city to look for other helpers on behalf of her father, but no matter what conditions she offered, no one was willing to provide help to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall at this time.
Everyone knew well that if a mortal realm eighth stage: intention realm warrior was seriously injured, their enemy must be quite powerful.
The more rejections Han Yue received, the more grateful Han Yue felt towards Xu Ning.
"Don't worry about it too much."
After seeing Han Yue's worry, Xu Ning spoke with some relief in his tone, "Things may not be so bad."
"I hope so…"
Han Yue showed a bitter smile.
"Junior Sister!"
Du Che suddenly came out of nowhere.
He first saluted Xu Ning, "Thank you for staying in the martial arts hall, I couldn't be more grateful."
"No worries."
Xu Ning responded.
Somehow, he held no affection towards Du Che.
He didn't know the specific reason.
After all, judging by Du Che's words and actions, he was regarded as a qualified disciple.
"Miss! Deputy Hall Master Xu! Head Instructor Du!"
It was an instructor wearing the uniform of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. He quickly walked through the foyer and arrived in front of them.
"Just now someone received news that there are people causing trouble at the Willow Building!"
The instructor quickly said, "Apparently, there are a lot of troublemakers, and they are all masters, so the guards of Willow Building are not their opponents at all!"
"There are people causing trouble in the Willow Building?"
Han Yue's face changed.
The Willow Building was a brothel on Fanhua Street, and the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall had some equity in it.
According to their previous agreement, if there was a problem that couldn't be solved by the Willow Building, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall must send someone to solve it.
In Chun Rin Canton, unless there was a murder in the city, the City Defense Unit composed of Feng, Xiao, and Ye clan armies would not care about trivial matters, such as fights at a brothel.
The stability of Chun Rin Canton normally was the result of mutual compromise between various large and small forces.
This was why internal martial arts organizations were so common in Chun Rin Canton.
"Already here…"
Xu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yesterday, Han Huxiao was seriously injured, and today someone was causing trouble at the Willow Building.
There was no doubt that behind the troublemakers were those behind the scenes of the recent Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall's downfall.
"Let's go and see."
Xu Ning knew that it was time for him to make a difference.
"I'm going too."
Du Che also reacted positively.
"Brother, you should stay in the martial arts hall. I will go with Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Han Yue said to Du Che.
Du Che frowned upon hearing this. "But…"
"You stay here to take good care of my father and the martial arts hall."
Han Yue was anxious to find out who was behind the scenes, but she was also worried about the situation at the martial arts hall.
In order to see Feng Chengyu yesterday, Han Huxiao forcibly took a pill that temporarily suppressed his injuries. And now that the effects of the medicine had passed, his injury had worsened. Currently, Han Huxiao's condition was very poor.
"All right…"
Du Che finally compromised.
Xu Ning and Han Yue went outside.
Du Che was expressionless as he looked at the two walking outside.
After the two of them disappeared, Du Che smirked.
…
The canton city was as prosperous as ever.
After passing through the streets, Han Yue brought Xu Ning to Fanhua Street.
Soon after, they found Willow Building on Fanhua Street.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Willow Building, they saw a guard waiting there.
After seeing Xu Ning and Han Yue wearing Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall uniform, the guard asked anxiously, "Only you two came? The troublemakers inside are not easy to deal with!"
"We're more than enough."
Xu Ning glanced at the guard and walked directly into the Willow Building.
After stepping through the door, Xu Ning looked around subconsciously.
Inside the Willow Building, the decorations were simple and elegant. It didn't look like a place of debauchery.
But soon, Xu Ning looked around and heard a fight going on.
Xu Ning walked a few steps forward, and Han Yue followed closely behind.
After passing through the door, Xu Ning saw several people in guard uniform lying on the ground.
Several people shouted loudly in front of them, all with weapons on them. At first glance, they looked fierce.
Especially the two leading men, one of them was wearing a sleeveless green shirt and was packed with muscles, while the other was wearing a short coat with a body that was shaped like a ball. Both of them looked fierce, and their aura was domineering. They were obviously powerful warriors.
There were guests watching the excitement from far away, and there were brothel girls worrying about their safety.
"Masters, please stop this madness."
The madam held a fan in her hand and looked anxious. "Our women here sell their performances, not their bodies. If you really wish to indulge in that kind of service, you can go to another place. Take today's performances as a service, free of charge."
"You wanted to charge us?"
The green shirt warrior sneered. "Your women aside, what about my brother's injury?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the guy behind him.
At that point, the man immediately grabbed his arms and wailed—he was obviously just pretending.
The madam wanted to cry. She had obviously suffered losses during the fight just then.
Moreover, there were still a few guards on the ground who couldn't stand up.
Obviously, they were looking for trouble.
Just when the madam was feeling anxious, she turned her head and suddenly saw someone wearing the uniform of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall walking in.
She relaxed at first, but when she saw the young unfamiliar face, she was shocked.
'Why did the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall send such a young warrior? He is definitely not strong enough to fight against these troublemakers!'

"How should we solve this?"
Xu Ning walked straight towards the green shirt warrior.
"What?"
After seeing Xu Ning's uniform and recognizing Xu Ning's affiliation, the green shirt warrior and the short coat warrior looked at each other.
Causing trouble and everything else were secondary. They were mainly targeting the people of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
"The kid is arrogant!"
The martial artist in the short coat looked at Xu Ning.
After seeing how young Xu Ning was, he didn't really take him seriously.
"Bring us 500 gold taels, that should settle it."
The martial artist in the short coat looked like a bandit.
When he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and his tone was murderous.
Obviously, he and the people behind him were cruel men with blood on their hands.
"500 gold taels?"
Xu Ning shook his head. "That's too much."
"400 gold taels and the girl with the long legs is coming with us."
The green shirt warrior stepped forward. He glanced at Han Yue and ordered in a casual tone.
Even though Han Yue was harassed, she was not phased in the slightest. Her expression remained unchanged, and her mental state was also stable.
She had operated the martial arts hall below Han Huxiao for many years, and she had gone through plenty of experiences.
Han Yue knew well that the two people in front of her were deliberately annoying and provoking her and Deputy Hall Master Xu.
After hearing what the green shirt warrior said, Xu Ning gently shook his head and chuckled.
"You guys really are something. You really have no idea where you stand."
Xu Ning suddenly took action. He stretched out his palm with one hand, condensing a spiral force in his palm.
Before the green shirt warrior could react, he suddenly felt pain in his abdominal cavity.
First, there was a needle-like tingling sensation, then a spiral of force came like a tide, as if it was shredding his organs to pieces.
The green shirt warrior immediately spouted blood.
He covered his abdomen, stepped back a few steps, and looked at Xu Ning with eyes full of horror and fear.
"Spiral force, you are in the mortal realm eighth stage, an intention realm warrior!"
'Intention realm warrior?!'
As soon as he said this, the short coat warrior next to him and the subordinates behind him changed their expressions drastically.
The reason why they were so arrogant just now was because they had two state mind realm masters, the green shirt warrior and the short coat warrior.
Before coming here, their employers had told them that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall only had a state mind realm warrior, but now, there was an intention realm warrior here?
Their first thought was that they were lied to by their employers.
"Intention realm?"
Apart from the troublemakers, Han Yue was the most shocked.
'Deputy Hall Master Xu was still in the state mind realm a few days ago. Just when did he advance to the state mind realm?'
'But how old is Deputy Hall Master Xu!'
Han Yue was shocked at first, but then, a wave of joy flooded her heart.
'Mortal realm eighth stage: intention realm!'
'Deputy Hall Master Xu has advanced to the intention realm!'
'The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is probably safe.'
Even without relying on Miss Feng San's power, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall could be restored to its former glory.
Han Yue looked at Xu Ning, who had a complicated look in his eyes.
"Sir, we were foolish and offended you. Please forgive us!"
The warrior in the short coat reacted quickly and cupped his fists to apologize. "We will withdraw immediately."
He was about to leave with the green shirt warrior and his subordinates behind him.
"Hold on."
Xu Ning's voice made the troublemakers feel anxious.
"Come as you please, and leave as you please? What do you think the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is?"
Xu Ning grabbed the short knife from his belt, his eyes narrowed.
The short coat warrior and the green shirt warrior immediately began to sweat.
Their mouths instantly dried up. They were all nervous.
"Sir, what do you want?"
The green shirt warrior asked humbly while in pain.
"Let's start with who told you guys to come here?"
Xu Ning's momentum was aggressive.
"We…"
The martial artist in the short coat said, "We are rangers from outside the city. We entered the city to conduct business, but because we haven't seen women for a long time, we came to the Willow Building. We wanted to find some girls to drink with, but the madam refused, so we…"
Slap!
Before the short coat warrior could finish talking, Xu Ning slapped the short coat warrior on the face.
He couldn't react at all. All he just felt was a flash of light coming towards him. Immediately, he felt dizzy, and his head and face were in severe pain. After that, he just fell to the ground.
"I'm asking who sent you! I didn't ask for you to spew nonsensical lies!"
Xu Ning seemed to have lost his patience. He stepped on the chest of the martial artist in the short coat before pulling out the short knife again.
"I'll ask again, who on earth told you guys to cause trouble here?"
Xu Ning's words were full of impatience, like he could explode at any time. "If you keep talking nonsense, I will destroy all your meridians."
As soon as this remark came out, the troublemakers were terrified.
The administrators of Chun Rin Canton had set a rule that people couldn't be killed, but they did not say that they could not be crippled.
"I'll speak, I'll speak!"
The martial artist in the short coat who was stepped on by Xu Ning quickly succumbed.
He could really feel the murderous intent of this young master.
He had no doubt that if he told a lie again, this young master would immediately pierce the meridians in his body with the tip of the knife and then kill him outside the city.
"Yes, the people from Fenghe Martial Arts Hall told us to come!"
The martial artist in the short coat quickly spoke. He was afraid that if he spoke slowly, he would be crippled by Xu Ning.
"We were originally horse bandits from outside Chun Rin Canton. The people at Fenghe Martial Arts Hall found us and gave us a hundred gold taels to have us come to the canton city and cause trouble for the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
"They asked us to come to the Willow Building to make trouble. Afterwards, they told us to go to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, and once the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is destroyed, our mission would be considered complete."
"We are all horse bandits, so we don't have a fixed home. Moreover, the price offered by the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was tempting, so we wanted to make quick money."
"Sir, please let us go! We were blinded by greed. As long as you let us go, we will traverse far away and never step foot into Chun Rin Canton again."
The martial artist in the short coat explained the matter.
"Fenghe Martial Arts Hall?"
Xu Ning was not familiar.
He turned his head to look at Han Yue at the side.
"He shouldn't be lying."
After listening to the martial artist in the short coat, Han Yue had a solemn and gloomy expression.
"Good job for not lying again."
Xu Ning took his feet off the short coat warrior.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much!"
The short coat warrior quickly got up. He was about to take the green shirt warrior and his subordinates to quickly leave.
They did not want to stay here for another second.
"Hold on."
Xu Ning stopped them again.
"So you targeted the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, and you want to just leave like that?"
Xu Ning put the short knife back into the scabbard. "Leave the gold notes you received from the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, and each of you will break off an arm, then you can leave."
Xu Ning's tone was calm, but the civilians and the girls at the Willow Building were stunned.
No one expected this humble-looking young warrior to be so ruthless and fierce..

They suddenly began to sweat, and their expressions were full of panic.
They looked at Xu Ning with pleading eyes.
But Xu Ning looked indifferent.
Xu Ning did not intend to let them leave intact.
This was different from the situation with Tie Guanxiong.
Most of the martial arts halls in the county were their competitors. They fought each other for the sake of business.
Everyone in the scene was under an agreement. They agreed that they would only to embarrass one another, not hurt anyone, and to jointly maintain the martial arts scene in the canton city.
But these people were different. They had evil motives behind them. If they were allowed to leave like this, there would be outsiders who felt that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall was an easy target.
That would not only be a loss of reputation, but it would also leave more troubles for the future.
"Okay, I hope you will be a man of your word!"
The green shirt warrior gritted his teeth and took out a stack of gold notes from his pockets, then placed it on the table.
Afterwards, he pulled out a knife around his waist, gritted his teeth, and slashed his arm with the knife.
Slop!
His arm fell to the ground audibly.
The civilians in the distance and the girls in the brothel all exclaimed in fright.
Although the fight was violent prior to Xu Ning's arrival, the shock factor was far less than a chopped off arm.
The scene of Xu Ning crushing several fierce gangsters left a heavy impression in everyone's hearts.
The madam of the Willow Building no longer felt that Xu Ning was too young.
She was grateful that she didn't listen to yesterday's rumors about the impending crisis of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. Luckily, she didn't break her contract with the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and sold their shares.
If she had really done that, she would be full of regret.
Seeing that the green shirt warrior had chopped off his arm, the short coat warrior and the subordinates behind them also gritted their teeth and chopped off their arms.
However, there was a timid subordinate who had yet to chop off his arm.
Seeing this, the green shirt warrior immediately cut off his arm.
He was afraid that Xu Ning would change his mind because of the slight delay.
"Sir, can we leave now?"
The green shirt warrior and the short coat warrior stared at Xu Ning nervously.
"Leave, remember what you said, and don't come back to Chun Rin Canton."
Xu Ning grabbed the 100-tael gold notes on the table. "Otherwise, I will feed you to the dogs!"
"Yes, yes!"
They finally felt relaxed.
The green shirt warrior and the short coat warrior now wanted to quickly leave this place.
They had not only offended the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and paid the price, but also betrayed the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
All of a sudden, they made two powerful enemies in the Chun Rin Canton.
They didn't have any feeling of vengeance in their hearts. They knew that no matter how tough they were, there was no way they could defeat such titans.
They just wanted to quickly leave Chun Rin Canton.
"Wait a second."
Xu Ning said, "Take the arms."
The short coat warrior and the green shirt warrior immediately smiled upon hearing this.
Since they were in the state mind realm, their physical body was extremely resilient. As long as they could take back the chopped off arm and use a specific spirit medicine to repair the injury in a short amount of time, they could still reattach their arm.
Although their arm would not be as nimble as before, it was better than having just one arm.
As for the subordinates behind him, it didn't matter whether they could recover.
Instantly, the short coat warrior and the green shirt warrior felt eternally grateful towards Xu Ning.
By contrast, their hatred towards the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall increased.
If it hadn't been for the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall's false information, they wouldn't have been in this mess.
The short coat warrior and the green shirt warrior quickly left with their subordinates.
Han Yue was shocked again.
She now truly felt the horror of absolute power.
After realizing how young Xu Ning was, Han Yue even felt that as long as Xu Ning could obtain a void realm secret scroll in the future, he would definitely break through the shackles of the mortal realm and become a void realm martial artist.
'Void realm martial artist…'
That was something that the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall couldn't even comprehend.
"The trouble has been resolved. We will now return to the martial arts hall."
Xu Ning cupped his fists towards the madam.
The old madam froze for a moment, then immediately smiled. "Thank you for coming here! As a show of thanks, why don't you stay, eat some snacks, and listen to some tunes?"
As soon as the madam finished talking, the eyes of the girls in the background suddenly lit up.
Xu Ning's domineering aura just now had left a deep impression.
"Next time."
Xu Ning turned away and left Willow Building with Han Yue.
"This 100 gold taels…"
Xu Ning placed the gold notes in front of Han Yue.
"This is not an escort mission, so this stack of notes belongs to you." Han Yue was a smart person. She knew that Xu Ning needed more money. Moreover, Xu Ning earned that money himself. "Deputy Hall Master Xu, if you weren't here, we would have been able to resolve this situation."
Xu Ning did not pretend to be polite. He directly accepted the gold notes. "Thank you."
…
"So? Is the trouble solved?"
As soon as they stepped into the gates of the martial arts hall, Du Che and the other instructors leaned forward and looked at them eagerly.
"The two state mind realm warriors were easily cleaned up by Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Han Yue said casually.
Everyone looked at Xu Ning with surprise.
"Don't be too surprised, as Deputy Hall Master Xu has been promoted to the mortal realm eighth stage: intention realm."
As soon as Han Yue said this, the faces of the instructors froze before letting out bursts of joy.
Han Yue's words had stabilized the moods of the people at the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
With a new intention realm warrior in control, the danger of their crisis had been reduced by half.
Han Yue's words were discussed with Xu Ning on the way back.
Xu Ning didn't mind revealing his strength. After settling the fight at the Willow Building, there was no way he could hide his realm.
Additionally, letting Han Yue speak in this manner could help calm their mind.
"Everyone, keep performing your duties, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is going nowhere!"
Han Yue said again with confidence.
Du Che and the instructors quickly dispersed. As for Xu Ning, he went back to his room and continued to study the Tidal Fist.
Han Yue went directly to Han Huxiao's room.
As soon as he walked in, Han Yue saw Han Huxiao leaning against the bed, his face red.
"Dad, did you hear everything just now?"
When Han Yue saw Han Huxiao's face, she could already guess the reason why.
"Is what you said true? Xu Ning has been promoted to the intention realm?"
Han Huxiao asked quickly.
"Yes."
Han Yue responded, "When he fought against the troublemakers just now, one of them exclaimed that Deputy Hall Master Xu had used spiral force."
"Great!"
Immediately after, Han Huxiao coughed out loud because of his excitement.
In an instant, his expression improved a lot. "Yes, only a martial artist in the intention realm can produce spiral force. This young man is really talented!"
Han Huxiao felt that it was worthwhile for him to give Xu Ning the void realm secret technique.
Han Huxiao knew that Xu Ning would definitely not be confined to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall in the future.
When the time was right, Xu Ning was bound to shock people with his strength.
At that time, it would be difficult to create friendships with geniuses after they had reached the void realm..

"Dad."
After seeing Han Huxiao's mood improving, Han Yue felt relieved.
Han Yue continued, "Deputy Hall Master Xu also interrogated the troublemakers, and they confessed that the force behind the scenes was Fenghe Martial Arts Hall."
"Fenghe Martial Arts Hall?"
When Han Huxiao heard this, his eyes looked around, his face full of uncertainty.
Han Yue didn't want to disturb her father's thoughts.
"Xie Ninghe…"
There was a hint of coldness in Han Huxiao's tone.
After hearing about the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Han Huxiao concluded that the troublemakers were speaking the truth.
When Han Huxiao entered Chun Rin Canton and established the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, he had his troubles with Xie Ninghe, the owner of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
When Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was just established, the two sides fought openly and secretly for resources.
Later, with the passage of time, both Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and Fenghe Martial Arts Hall built a foundation in Chun Rin Canton. On the surface, it looked like everything had become peaceful.
But neither Han Huxiao nor Xie Ninghe had completely let go of their grievances.
In the subsequent confrontations, the two sides each received their share of victories and defeats. Last month, the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall even snagged a deal from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
However, even though the competition between the two sides was fierce, Han Huxiao did not expect that Xie Ninghe would dare to try to kill him and destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
"It's not that simple."
After thinking about it, Han Huxiao came to a conclusion.
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Han Yue asked quickly.
"It is absolutely impossible for Xie Ninghe to do this alone." Han Huxiao said affirmatively, "He must have brought in a helper."
"Xie Ninghe can't even recruit the intention realm warrior that had ambushed me. With the power of Xie Ninghe and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall alone, even if the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is defeated, they won't be able to completely eliminate us."
"He is not stupid. He definitely won't spend a lot of effort recruiting other forces."
Han Huxiao inferred, "The only possibility is that Xie Ninghe has pulled someone in! He has teamed up with others and is ready to pull us into the abyss."
"Um…"
Han Huxiao's inference made Han Yue, who had already calmed down, become a little flustered again.
"Then what do we do?"
"Don't panic."
Han Huxiao was still calm. "Although the people who have joined Xie Ninghe are strong, they are not that strong that we can't deal with them. If the people who joined Xie Ninghe really had enough strength, they would not have brought Xie Ninghe in to share a piece of the pie."
"Now that we have Xu Ning in the martial arts hall, although we can't turn the tables against them, it's not difficult to wait for Miss Feng San to come next month."
Han Yue nodded silently after listening.
…
After Xu Ning returned to the room, he did not immediately study the Tidal Fist. Instead, he routinely checked the Thousand Source Bug.
Xu Ning first took off his belt and put it on the table.
Xu Ning had been wearing this belt for a long time, so the surface layer of the belt had worn out.
Two days ago, Xu Ning had found an equipment shop, and he bought a new custom outfit there. In two days, he would collect it.
For something as precious as the Thousand Source Bug, Xu Ning would have to carry it on him to feel at ease.
Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment.
"Um…"
Xu Ning checked it out as usual. Less than two days had passed since the last time the Thousand Source Bug expelled any Aura Crystals.
Inside the hidden compartment, there was an extra silver-white Aura Crystal next to the white insect.
This Aura Crystal was discharged by the fat white bug after it swallowed a kind of stone called pure ore.
'It expelled an Aura Crystal in just a day and a half?'
This was the first time Xu Ning had seen this white fat bug work with such efficiency.
Without hesitation, Xu Ning immediately grabbed the silver-white Aura Crystal.
When Xu Ning's fingertips touched the silver-white Aura Crystal, Xu Ning saw a pop up.
—
2 units of discovered energy, absorb?
Yes/No
—
"2 units?"
Xu Ning felt pleasantly surprised.
When the Thousand Source Bug previously swallowed the fire crystal ore, it took three days to discharge an Aura Crystal that was worth 2 energy units, but now, it only took a day and a half!
Its efficiency had doubled.
According to this calculation, as long as Xu Ning provided the Thousand Source Bug with pure ores, he would have a stable energy generation of 40 units of energy per month.
Xu Ning was overjoyed.
"Absorb."
Xu Ning immediately absorbed 2 units of energy.
Xu Ning's energy reserves went from 98 units to 100 units.
The Aura Crystal in Xu Ning's hand also turned into powder.
The Aura Crystals discharged by the Thousand Source Bug were free of any impurities after being absorbed.
But because it swallowed ores, its Aura Crystals were no longer pure.
For the owners of other Thousand Source Bugs, impure Aura Crystals were definitely a big problem.
But for Xu Ning, this had no effect at all.
'I'll experiment with another ore for this Thousand Source Bug.'
Among the ore purchased by Xu Ning previously, the Thousand Source Bug was only interested in four types of ore.
Xu Ning reached out his finger and pushed the fat white bug abruptly away from the surface of the remaining pure ore.
The white fat bug was forced to move away from the delicious food. It looked a little reluctant.
But soon, Xu Ning gave it a new ore. After the white fat bug sensed it, it happily continued to eat it.
'It sure has a big appetite.'
Xu Ning closed the hidden compartment and tied it on his waist again.
Xu Ning felt that his advancements were getting more and more secure.
'If I can learn Tidal Fist and get a void realm secret scroll, that would be great.'
Xu Ning looked forward to his progress. He then picked up Tidal Fist and continued to study it.
Xu Ning was confident that in two days, he could finish studying Tidal Fist and implant it on the Martial Arts Panel.
However, Xu Ning didn't know exactly how many energy units were needed to advance Tidal Fist.
After all, it was a void realm secret technique, so it must require a ton of energy
However, Xu Ning was not worried about not being able to advance it after implanting the technique. After all, he had 100 units of energy saved up.
In addition to this, he also had 100 gold taels.
Xu Ning planned to wait until the afternoon before he would go buy some spirit medicines with the 100 gold taels he got. Once he finished absorbing them, he would have more than 100 units of energy.
…
In the afternoon, Xu Ning left the martial arts hall.
After Xu Ning left, Du Che also left the martial arts hall.
The direction Du Che went was exactly where the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was located.
On the way to Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Du Che used a rice hat to cover his face.
This was what many rangers wore when they entered a city in order to stay low-key.
When he arrived at the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Du Che entered through the back door and entered a room.
"Hall Master Xie."
After entering the room, Du Che respectfully saluted the person sitting at the table..

Chapter 105: Tidal Fist Implant Successful
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The person sitting in front of Du Che was the person behind the recent attacks on the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xie Ninghe, the owner of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
No one could have imagined that the most loyal disciple of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall would be its greatest traitor.
Du Che no longer covered his face. He took off the rice hat and face mask.
"Du Che, the information you told me is wrong."
Xie Ninghe was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. There were wrinkles on his face and a few gray hairs on his head.
"That Xu Ning you talked about is not in the state mind realm! He's in the intention realm!"
There was a trace of murderous intent in Xie Ninghe's tone.
Du Che was also aware of this, so he said in panic, "Apologies, my lord. I did not intentionally provide you false information. You don't need to doubt my loyalty to you."
"You know my desire for the Blood Idea Dan!"
Du Che's words eased Xie Ninghe's mind a lot.
He knew very well how much Du Che was obsessed with the Blood Idea Dan, a dan that would allow him to reach the state mind realm.
If it weren't for his desire for the Blood Idea Dan, he wouldn't have betrayed the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
Han Huxiao's injury also wouldn't have been so serious without Du Che's help.
"Xu Ning just happened to break through in the past two days."
Du Che quickly explained.
He was afraid that Xie Ninghe would kick himself out of the plan. Once that happened, he would never have the chance to advance to the state mind realm.
Du Che was currently only in his thirties, and he was already in the internal qi realm. In the eyes of the public, he had a promising future.
But, only Du Che knew that his current progress was all possible made by taking stimulating dan medicine secretly in order to please his brother and sisters.
In conclusion, his martial arts talent had come to an end.
If he wanted to go one step further and become a high-level martial artist in the state mind realm, he could only advance by using a Blood Idea Dan.
Xie Ninghe had already given him one half of the Blood Idea Dan according to their agreement. And as long as the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall was destroyed, he would be able to obtain the remaining half of the Blood Idea Dan and advance to the state mind realm.
"I'll forgive your mistakes this time."
Xie Ninghe knew that Du Che still had his value, so he was just scaring him.
"However, since Xu Ning has been promoted to the intention realm, our initial plan has to be changed."
Xie Ning said calmly, "If we want to completely destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, we have to get rid of Xu Ning first."
"Get rid of Xu Ning?"
Du Che was puzzled. "He is a very strong person in the intention realm."
Seeing that Du Che was so timid, Xie Ninghe sneered. "Who cares about a newly advanced intention realm warrior? How strong can a newly advanced intention realm warrior be?"
"Du Che."
Xie Ninghe's voice lowered. "You have brought me the wrong information. That was a major mistake. But now, I'm giving you a chance to correct your mistakes."
"Thank you, Hall Master Xie."
After Du Che noticed that the conversation had gone awry, he slightly panicked.
"You have to find a way to lead Xu Ning outside the canton city. I will then join forces with Master Xue to kill him outside the city."
Xie Ninghe's words made Du Che's heart tense up.
"Um…"
Du Che's forehead was full of sweat. He seemed to be hesitant. "He is a martial artist in the intention realm, how can I fool him?"
"Your master is also a martial artist in the intention realm but wasn't he still fooled by you?"
Xie Ninghe spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Du Che gulped. "My master is not suspicious of me, but Xu Ning, he…"
Slap!
Suddenly, Xie Ninghe's posture changed. In an instant, he reached out his hand and slapped the corner of the table into shreds.
"Are you bargaining with me?"
Xie Ninghe sternly said, "Du Che, let me tell you that you have no choice. If you don't listen to me, I will expose what you did and ask your master to personally clean you up."
"I…"
Du Che knew that he had no choice.
"But if you do this, I will not only give you the remaining half of the Blood Idea Dan to help you break through to the state mind realm, but I'll also give you that little Han Yue girl after the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is destroyed. I will also take you under my wing as my assistant."
Xie Ninghe sweetened the deal.
"I agree! Thank you, Hall Master Xie!"
Du Che seemed to have made a decision. "I must find a way to trick Xu Ning out of canton city!"
"Great!"
Xie Ninghe laughed. He was satisfied with Du Che's obedience.
Du Che stood up and cupped his fists. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Xie Ninghe.
"Wait a second!"
Xie Ninghe threw a porcelain bottle into Du Che's hands. "Don't forget to take this Breath Dan."
"Yes."
Du Che responded.
After warriors advanced to the state mind realm, they would gradually improve their perception of danger.
If it weren't for the Breath Dan, Du Che would have easily been exposed.
"Xu Ning…"
After Du Che left, a concealed intent flashed in Xie Ninghe's eyes.
…
Two days went by.
Over the past two days, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall seemed to have recovered to its former calmness.
Even the current number of apprentices in the martial arts hall filled the hall to 60% capacity.
Two days ago, Xu Ning bought some spirit medicines, and after absorbing them, he gained an additional 125 units of energy.
His total energy reserves had reached 225 units.
As long as he gained 75 more units of energy, he could break through the intention realm and reach the spirit realm.
'I think that I will be able to fully understand Tidal Fist tonight.'
Xu Ning sat by the bed and glanced at the sky. It was evening again.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning's study of Tidal Fist had almost reached the point where he forgone sleep and food.
After all, the temptation of the void realm was too high for Xu Ning.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, Xu Ning thoroughly understood the Tidal Fist secret technique. At that moment, it was finally implanted on Xu Ning's Martial Arts Panel.

'It finally implanted onto the panel!'
After seeing Tidal Fist appear on the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning was extremely excited.
'I can finally get a glimpse of the secrets of the void realm!'
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning directly pressed the "" sign besides Tidal Fist.
—
Consume 100 units of energy to advance Tidal Fist?
Yes/No
—
'100 units of energy?'
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, 100 units of energy still exceeded Xu Ning's expectations.
'The energy required for its advancement is so expensive.'
But Xu Ning quickly calmed down.
According to his understanding of the void realm from Wei Changqing, a void realm secret technique was different from a mortal realm external skill.
Mortal realm external skill stood independent from an internal skill; there were no fundamental similarities between the two.
However, there was a mutual influence relationship between a void realm secret scroll and a void realm secret technique.
'Should I advance Tidal Fist now?'
Xu Ning began to contemplate..
Report chapter
Chapter 106: Tidal Fist Advancement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He already had 225 units of energy. With another 75 units, he could directly break through to the mortal realm ninth stage.
If he advanced Tidal Fist now, he would have to slow down his own progress.
Just as Xu Ning was thinking about it, he heard Han Yue calling for him.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, it's time to eat."
"Coming."
Xu Ning put aside the problem of whether he should advance Tidal Fist. He would decide whether to do so after eating.
"Is Hall Master Han eating?"
When he arrived at the dining room, Xu Ning asked Han Yue.
Xu Ning, Han Yue, and Du Che sat at the dining table.
"I'll just bring some food over to my dad."
Han Yue used a clean pair of chopsticks to grab a bowl of food and porridge, which she then delivered to Han Huxiao's room.
Only Xu Ning and Du Che were left at the table.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, go ahead and eat. Otherwise, the food will get cold."
Du Che said politely.
Xu Ning picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
He glanced at Du Che. He always felt that Du Che was a bit cautious.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu…"
Du Che raised his head and glanced outside the room. After seeing that Han Yue hadn't returned yet, he finally asked.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Favor?"
Xu Ning put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Du Che for a few seconds.
In fact, the two were not particularly close with each other.
After being stared at by Xu Ning, Du Che felt his muscles tighten unconsciously, his expression a little unnatural.
"Go ahead."
Xu Ning chuckled, behaving as usual. He didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Du Che.
Seeing that Xu Ning was not doubting him, Du Che breathed a sigh of relief.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, I want to conduct an escort mission."
Du Che spoke, "You know that our Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall has been in serious trouble in these past few days, but fortunately, you have come forward and stabilized the situation."
"But even so, Master is injured, and the reputation of our Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is still damaged. The several escort missions we previously agreed to, were all given to others, and the impact of that was quite significant."
Xu Ning listened seriously. "Continue."
"In order to reduce the negative impact, I made a special trip yesterday in order to save the business." Du Che said while observing Xu Ning's expression, "Tomorrow, a caravan is planning to go to Qingyi Prefecture. They previously arranged with us to provide an eight-person escort team to help them through the journey."
"But because of Master's injury, the other party changed their mind. I went there to recover the deal, but the other party said that they are planning to be escorted by someone else. But I was stubborn, and the other party finally decided to look past the situation before they agreed to let me escort them again."
It seemed that he was afraid that Xu Ning would not believe his words, so Du Che spoke rather cautiously.
"Although this deal won't greatly improve the operation of our martial arts hall, it will display the confidence of our martial arts hall to the public. Let the public see that our martial arts hall still has enough strength to protect our customers."
After hearing this, Xu Ning nodded, seemingly agreeing with Du Che's statement.
"If that is the case, why do you need my help?"
Xu Ning asked Du Che.
Du Che paused, "I hope Deputy Hall Master Xu can escort us out of the city. We won't go too far, just ten miles away."
Du Che felt sweat forming in his palms.
"But why do you need me to escort you?"
Xu Ning asked again with a puzzled look.
"Here's the thing, Deputy Hall Master Xu…" Du Che felt his heart beat out of his chest, "although I am the only escort, this deal is considered part of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall's operations. Thus, I am afraid that our opponents will deliberately go after us. After all, they will definitely hear news about this."
"But we will probably be safe after we reach 10 miles out of the city."
Du Che felt his throat dry up, and he quickly drank some porridge.
For some reason, the pressure Xu Ning gave him was much greater than when he faced Han Huxiao.
Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully after hearing his words, then he went silent.
The silence made Du Che internally panic. 'Could it be that I'm being too obvious that I want him out of the city, causing him to be suspicious?'
The more Du Che thought about what he had just said, the more nervous he felt.
He even felt that there was a big loophole in his words.
'I was pushing him too much.'
However, just when Du Che felt that Xu Ning was suspecting him, he heard Xu Ning saying, "Okay, I will escort you out of the city."
After hearing this, Du Che was overjoyed. "Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Xu!"
"However, Deputy Hall Master Xu, will you please keep this matter a secret from Master and Junior Sister."
Du Che looked distressed, "If Master and Junior Sister knew about this, they would definitely worry about my safety and not let me escort the carriage. If that happened, I would just be wasting my efforts. After you come back from escorting me tomorrow, please explain the situation to Master and Junior Sister."
"No problem."
Xu Ning agreed. "You worked hard for this, I understand."
"Good… good…"
Du Che felt his heart relax. "In this case, let's meet at the city gates tomorrow."
"Okay."
Xu Ning agreed.
After finalizing the matter, the two continued to dine in silence.
Han Yue seemed to be still nursing Han Huxiao, as she still hadn't come back yet.
After Xu Ning finished eating, he stood up.
"Oh yeah…"
After Xu Ning got up, he suddenly turned around and asked abruptly, "The owner of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall is Xie Ninghe?"
Du Che felt his heart skip a beat.
He looked at Xu Ning and forced a smile. "Yeah."
"Oh…"
Xu Ning nodded slowly. "This person is likely to be the man behind the recent attacks on our martial arts hall. We must beware of this person."
"Yep… yep…"
Du Che smiled. "We must beware."
"Don't forget, tomorrow morning."
Du Che reminded Xu Ning.
"Yes."
Du Che responded.
After what he needed to say, Xu Ning left.
Du Che's stiff face instantly collapsed.
'Xu Ning is suspecting me.'
Du Che was already aware of this problem. 'No, he is already certain that I'm a traitor.'
The inattentive look in Xu Ning's eyes before he left the room made Du Che break out in cold sweat.
'But why is he still willing to go out of town with me?'
Instantly, Du Che felt really confused.
'Am I baiting Xu Ning, or is Xu Ning baiting me?'
'If Xu Ning already knows that I am baiting him, then how is he going to counter it?'
Du Che felt confused.
'We'll take it one step at a time.'
Du Che knew very well that he had no other choice.
If Xu Ning turned around and killed him right now, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Han Yue returned with the empty bowl that Han Huxiao had eaten from. "You don't look so good?"
"I'm fine."
Du Che didn't bother to talk with Han Yue any longer, so he stood up and said, "I'm done."
He then left in a hurry.
"Strange."
Han Yue murmured. She didn't think much of it as she ate at the table alone.
…
'There really is something wrong with Du Che.'
Xu Ning returned to his room with a smile on his face.
Du Che's excuse for making Xu Ning leave the city made Xu Ning feel odd at first.
He spoke anxiously and forcefully.
But at that time, Xu Ning was not sure whether Du Che was targeting him.
But after Xu Ning got up and asked about Xie Ninghe, Du Che's intentions were instantly revealed.
Xu Ning clearly sensed Du Che's malice towards him.
Now that he reached the intention realm, Xu Ning's perception of danger and malice directed towards him had become more sensitive.
'I don't know what method Du Che used to hide his aura, but it seems that he was able to fool Hall Master Han."
In this regard, Xu Ning felt a little bad for Han Huxiao.
Everyone in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall respected Han Huxiao, and even in the face of a crisis, no one resigned.
But Du Che, the disciple he most valued, had a huge problem.
'This Du Che is probably related to Xie Ninghe.'
The moment Du Che heard Xie Ninghe's name, his qi was instantly disturbed, which explained the problem.
'Chances are that Du Che is Xie Ninghe's mole at the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.'
Xu Ning speculated in his mind, 'And the conversation at the dinner table was clearly baiting me to leave the city. I guess they are planning to ambush me and kill me like they did to Hall Master Han. After all, I am the pillar of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall right now.'
'Xie Ninghe…'
Xu Ning thought about the name.
Han Yue and Han Huxiao talked about the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall being the mastermind behind the scenes.
Afterwards, Han Yue informed Xu Ning of Han Huxiao's inference.
Xu Ning also knew that, besides Xie Ninghe of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, there was another force against the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
'Tomorrow after I leave the city, the one fighting me should be the strongest warriors of the two forces.'
Xu Ning had basically figured out their whole plan.
'But if you guys want to kill me, why don't I just kill you first?'
Xu Ning's eyes shone with a glimmer of light.
This was why he was still willing to go outside the city after seeing through Du Che's scheme.
Xu Ning's current strength was almost invincible in the same realm. Even if there were two or three intention realm warriors, Xu Ning could easily defeat them.
Even if the opponent sent a martial artist in the mortal realm ninth stage: spirit realm, Xu Ning could still escape using his own skills.
'However, in order to prevent the worst from happening, I have to advance Tidal Fist first.'
Xu Ning had already made a decision in his mind. He was afraid that the opponent's spirit realm warrior would also have mastered a void realm secret technique.
Although this possibility was very low, since he was going to risk everything alone, he should be more cautious.
'After I advance Tidal Fist, there are not many people in the mortal realm who can kill me, right?"
After understanding the power of a void realm secret technique, Xu Ning knew well that even if he only raised Tide Fist by one level, it would still be enough to compete against a spirit realm martial artist and even gain the upper hand.
It was difficult for a mortal realm warrior to fight a mortal realm warrior of a higher realm, but it was possible with the help of a void realm secret technique.
Xu Ning no longer wasted any time. He made a decision to improve Tidal Fist first.
'Martial Arts Panel.'
As Xu Ning began to think, the Martial Arts Panel appeared in front of him.

Martial Arts:
Spring Breeze Tactic (Mortal realm eighth stage: intention realm)

Xu Ning took a deep breath and pressed the "" besides Tidal Fist. He was full of expectations.
—
Consume 100 units of energy to advance Tidal Fist?
Yes/No
—
"Yes!"
After confirming, Xu Ning felt that new knowledge about Tidal Fist entered his mind.
This included the understanding and application of Tidal Fist, as well as various actual combat experiences.
In addition, there was another change that shocked Xu Ning.
Xu Ning discovered that the meridians in his body had begun to strengthen, becoming more resilient and stronger.
'Isn't Tidal Fist essentially the same as the Gale Knife Technique? Why does it improve my physical body?'
Other than the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic, Xu Ning had never seen a technique that could increase his physical body strength.
'No wonder this is a void realm secret technique!'
Xu Ning had slowly sorted out the new knowledge in his mind.
It turned out that these changes in his body were all physical optimizations that allowed him to better use Tidal Fist.
'This void realm secret technique is too powerful!'
Only now did Xu Ning realize how good of a deal Han Huxiao gave him.

Name: Xu Ning
Martial Arts:

Tidal Fist (First Level)

Xu Ning looked at his Martial Arts Panel.
Besides Tidal Fist, the "unlearned" section turned into "first level".
This was different from other external skills.
Mortal realm external skills were divided into beginner, elementary, intermediate, and perfection realms, while void realm secret techniques were divided into levels.
Xu Ning knew about this long ago.
This was related to the system of void realm secret scrolls.
Void realm secret scrolls and void realm secret techniques had a complementary relationship.
'Let's see how powerful this Tidal Fist is!'
Xu Ning began to use Tidal Fist to circulate his internal energy and accumulate his strength.
"Ha!"
Xu Ning punched, giving off a muffled explosive sound.
This punch seemed unremarkable, but in fact, it was the accumulation of Xu Ning's full strength, his strongest and most powerful attack.
Prior to this, Xu Ning needed to prepare for such a perfect punch, but now, Xu Ning could punch like this at will.
But although he made such a perfect punch easily, Xu Ning was not excited.
This was because Xu Ning knew very well that this punch was just the beginning of Tidal Fist!
With the help of the momentum just now, Xu Ning once again followed the technique of Tidal Fist and punched again.
Bang!
This time, the muffled noise was even louder.
Xu Ning even felt that with this punch, the strength of the aftershock blasted his fist with pain.
'The power of this punch has doubled!'
Xu Ning felt some strain on his body.
But he still didn't stop, instead he continued to throw out a third punch..
Report chapter
Chapter 107: The Power of One Punch!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bang!
After the third punch, Xu Ning felt a sudden tingling sensation in his wrist.
That burst of strength when he threw out this punch had already begun to put some strain on his body.
That was because the power of this punch was double of the previous punch!
This was four times the damage that Xu Ning could put out prior to learning Tidal Fist.
'Are all void realm secret techniques this insane?'
This was only the first level of Tidal Fist, and he hadn't experienced a "characteristic" change yet.
'If I throw out a fourth punch, the power of the punch will be twice as powerful as the third punch!'
However, after thinking about this, Xu Ning didn't plan to try again.
If the third punch already made him uncomfortable, then the fourth punch would definitely injure him.
'This is what Hall Master Han said previously, mortal realm martial artists will stress themselves when using void realm secret techniques.'
Xu Ning had just personally experienced this.
'A mortal realm martial artist will never be able to fully utilize void realm secret techniques. When executing it, their level and power will be severely limited.'
Xu Ning thought, 'For the first three punches of Tidal Fist, I can use them against my enemies, but the fourth punch can only be used as a trump card in a crisis situation, otherwise the price I have to pay will be too great.'
'Even then, this Tidal Fist is so powerful. I can continuously double the strength of my punches.'
Xu Ning massaged his wrists. 'I just don't know what the upper limit of this power stacking is. But for now, the only limiting factor is my body strength. The stronger my body, the stronger my punch will be. If my body is too weak, the power of Tidal Fist will be limited.'
'If I advance to the spirit realm, or even to the void realm, then Tidal Fist will create even more terrifying effects.'
'The 100 units of energy spent is worth it!'
Xu Ning smiled.
The usage of these 100 units was extremely cost-effective in Xu Ning's opinion.
It did not only increase his immediate combat power, but it also allowed Xu Ning to have an extra trump card if he was in trouble in the future.
If Xu Ning even had an inkling of worry about tomorrow, that inkling of worry was now completely gone.
Unless the opponent was a void realm martial artist, no one could ever kill him.
And void realm martial artists would never participate in this kind of low-level dispute.
'If the opponent wants to ambush me tomorrow, they must send some top notch martial artists.'
'If all goes well, I can destroy the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and the top brass of another force. After finishing them off, I can take their plates. I will definitely get a share of the loot.'
Xu Ning's thirst for wealth had gradually increased.
This was the confidence brought to Xu Ning from the improvement in his strength.
'We'll see what happens tomorrow.'
When Xu Ning looked at the bright moon outside the window, he felt a lot of anticipation in his heart.
…
The next day.
Sunrise.
Xu Ning and Du Che met in front of the martial arts hall.
After seeing Xu Ning arriving on time, Du Che was both nervous and excited.
At this point, he didn't care whether Xu Ning saw through him or not.
He only hoped that he could successfully bring Xu Ning out of the city.
In Du Che's opinion, no matter what Xu Ning's plan was, as long as he left the city, everything would be fine.
No matter how strong Xu Ning was, he was just a young warrior who had just broken through to the intention realm.
Xie Ninghe and his helpers could easily deal with Xu Ning.
By then, not only would he get the other half of the Blood Idea Dan and be promoted to the state mind realm, he could also get his hands on Han Yue.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Du Che first saluted Xu Ning, then said, "Thank you so much for this."
Du Che didn't know whether Xu Ning believed his words or not.
"It's okay."
Xu Ning did not seem dissatisfied, instead he actively urged Du Che. "Let's go to the city gates and join up with the caravan. Otherwise, we will delay the trip and make them wait for us."
"Yes."
This was exactly what Du Che wanted to hear.
The two set off and quickly went towards the gates of the canton city.
It was still a little dark. As they walked on the road, except for the few breakfast stalls on the street, no other pedestrians were seen.
Du Che walked next to Xu Ning. He wanted to arrive at the city gates safely and quickly.
Du Che felt that this was the longest road he had ever walked.
Soon, the two finally reached the gates of the city.
Looking at the city gates, Du Che felt that his plan was almost complete.
"Where is the caravan?"
Xu Ning checked near the city gate, but he did not see a caravan, so he turned his head and asked Du Che.
"They are waiting outside the city."
Du Che's answer was true.
There was a caravan, and they were indeed waiting outside the city.
However, the caravan was not a real caravan. It was a disguise made by the instructors of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
"Then let's get out of the city."
Xu Ning and Du Che quickly passed through the city gate.
As soon as they left the city, they saw a caravan waiting in the distance.
They didn't need to deliver a lot of goods, so they only brought along two carts. The number of people in the escort team was less than ten, while the rest of them belonged to the caravan.
After stepping out of the gates and seeing the caravan, Du Che finally relaxed.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, they are there, let's go over."
Du Che seemed to have regained his confidence in his words.
"Everyone, apologies for being late."
Du Che took the initiative to walk forward and greeted the leader among them with cupped fists, he then introduced: "This is Deputy Hall Master Xu, he is responsible for escorting us."
"Let's go."
The leader didn't seem to care about Du Che's feelings.
He glanced at Xu Ning before ordering the team to leave.
There were no spare horses in the carriage, so Xu Ning and Du Che couldn't ride the horses. They just sat on a roofless carriage in the back of the caravan.
Xu Ning, who had just gotten into the carriage, suddenly smiled.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, what are you smiling at?"
This time, Du Che asked Xu Ning with a smile.
Du Che was no longer afraid of Xu Ning now.
Because he knew that in the carriage ahead, Xie Ninghe and the others had already taken the Breath Dans and were waiting to assassinate Xu Ning.
After they travel ten miles away, Xu Ning would be unable to escape back to the city, even after discovering their plan.
"Nothing…"
Xu Ning also smiled.
Du Che looked at him and felt uncomfortable.
But after affirming that Xu Ning had fallen into his trap, Du Che felt comfortable again.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
The sound of horse trotting echoed in regular intervals outside the city.
"Stop, stop!"
After traveling a few miles away, Xu Ning suddenly stood up on the open-air carriage.
Xu Ning's gaze swept over everyone in the caravan.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, what are you…"
Du Che was very alert. He immediately got out of the carriage first and distanced himself from Xu Ning.
"I'm sure the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall has done escort missions in the past."
Xu Ning turned towards the caravan, as if speaking to the people in the carriage. "If you want to call yourselves a caravan, you should at least be more serious in your act? All of you staring at me nervously, do you really think I won't notice?"
After Du Che heard this, he ran to the carriage in front of him.
'Sure enough, Xu Ning saw through our plan!'
As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, the carriage in front suddenly burst open, wooden boards scattered everywhere.
Three people jumped out of the carriage, all staring at Xu Ning with a smile.
"Xu Ning my friend, you're so courageous!"
Xie Ninghe, who had half-gray hair, arched his hand at Xu Ning with a smile on his face.
This gesture of his didn't seem like he was about to ambush Xu Ning.
"Kid, how did you find out about us hiding in the carriage? We all took Breath Dans."
This time, it was a little old man who was speaking, his face full of wrinkles with a hideous scar.
This person was the top brass of another force that was against the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xue Chuntong, the owner of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall.
In addition to Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong, there was one other person who seemed to be less than 40 years old, with a murderous look on his face.
If Han Huxiao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person. This person was the intention realm warrior who ambushed Han Huxiao previously.
'So they used Breath Dans.'
After hearing Xue Chuntong's question, Xu Ning understood how Du Che had concealed his malicious intent in the past.
"Nice to meet you all."
Xu Ning cupped his fists.
The two sides did not look like enemies.
"Breath Dans are good, but you have to restrain yourselves."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Although you all have taken Breath Dans, you kept peeping at me from the carriage."
Xue Chuntong laughed. "I really underestimated you. I thought since you have just advanced, you wouldn't be able to detect us. It seems that we were too arrogant."
"Xu Ning, since we are here, you must know what is going to happen."
Xue Chuntong took two steps forward. "Originally, we wanted to kill you instantly, but since I now have a good impression of you, why don't you leave the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall together with us. I will even give you a share of the spoils!"
As soon as Xue Chuntong said this, Du Che panicked.
If Xu Ning really changed his mind, then Du Che would be in great trouble.
Xu Ning would inevitably take revenge against him.
"Who are you?"
Xu Ning did not answer the question immediately, but instead asked another question.
He had only recently come to Chun Rin Canton, and he didn't know a lot of people.
"I am Xue Chuntong from the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall."
Xue Chuntong did not conceal his identity.
After that, Xie Ninghe also introduced himself. "Xie Ninghe from the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall."
The third person besides the two did not speak. He was only here as a hired killer.
"So two seniors from the city."
Xu Ning cupped his fists again.
He finally figured out who was behind the scenes.
"How about it, do you accept my proposal to leave the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and join us?"
Xue Chuntong asked again.
Xu Ning smiled. "Senior Xue, I also have a proposal."
"Oh?"
Xue Chuntong's eyes narrowed. "Speak."
"I think you two are also very kind. Why don't you give up 50% of the shares of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall as compensation to our Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. Then, I'll spare your lives."
Xu Ning's tone was very gentle.
But after Xue Chuntong and the others heard this, they all thought there was something wrong with their ears.
"Xu Ning, do you think we old men are not worthy of being your opponent?"
Xue Chuntong's smile slowly faded, and his tone became somber.
"Yes."
Xu Ning grinned.
"It seems that you don't intend to accept my proposal. Nevermind, there is no need to talk."
Xu Ning glanced at the three of them. "Just three intention realm warriors, that's it?!"
Xu Ning suddenly moved, even facing three warriors of the same realm, he took the initiative to attack.
"Courageous!"
Xue Chuntong stood at the forefront and saw Xu Ning taking the initiative. He faced him straight, without any intention to hide. "You're too naive. I will teach you a lesson today, that not all intention realm warriors are the same!"
Xu Ning ignored Xue Chuntong's words.
Internal qi began to surge in his body.
Xu Ning aimed his punch towards Xue Chuntong.
This was Tidal Fist Punch One.
'This strength!'
When the punch came towards him, Xue Chuntong suddenly felt an enormous strength.
He quickly reached out his arms in an attempt to block the punch.
Bang!
The fist hit Xue Chuntong.
Immediately after, Xue Chuntong felt a spiral force traveling through his arm and drilling directly into his body.
"Sh*t! He is not a recently advanced intention realm warrior! He's at the peak of the intention realm!"
A stream of blood began to flow from the corner of Xue Chuntong's mouth.
When Xu Ning's punch landed on him, he discovered Xu Ning's true strength.
'The peak of the intention realm?!'
Xie Ninghe and the mercenary warrior's expressions changed. After that, they immediately tried to help out their teammate.
But they were still too slow, as Xu Ning had already thrown out Tidal Fist Punch Two.
This punch was twice as powerful as the first punch!
This time, Xue Chuntong, who was hit again, began to vomit blood.
Panic appeared in his eyes.
'This strength is beyond the intention realm!'
Xue Chuntong felt severe pain in his internal organs. He knew very well that he was already seriously injured.
"Help me!"
Xue Chuntong had lost the demeanor of an experienced elder, and he shamelessly called for help.
Xie Ninghe and the mercenary warrior stepped forward instantly, trying to stop Xu Ning.
But Xu Ning's third punch was ready.
This punch should have hit Xue Chuntong's body, but the mercenary warrior blocked the punch with his own body.
Without batting an eye, Xu Ning kept attacking.
Bang!
Punch Three!
This was four times the power of the first punch.
The hired warrior took Xu Ning's third punch.
In an instant, his chest began to collapse and his bones began to crack in his body.
The mercenary warrior spat out a mouthful of blood. He even spat out pieces of his liver.
"How is this possible?!"
Xie Ninghe was right next to the mercenary warrior. He could feel the terrifying aura in that punch, and he could also feel the vitality of the mercenary warrior next to him rapidly dissipating.
Soon after, the mercenary warrior just fell to the ground and went quiet..

'This Xu Ning guy…'
Xie Ninghe felt his body stiffen.
He turned his head and glanced at the mercenary warrior.
Although it was hard to believe that this was reality, the mercenary warrior who was equally as strong or even slightly stronger than him, was killed by that terrifying young man!
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong's heads suddenly began to spin.
Killing a martial artist in the intention realm with one punch was difficult even for a spirit realm warrior.
Right now, Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong could no longer spare any thought about this.
There was only one thought in their minds right now, which was to run!
The power of Xu Ning's punch had already made them lose all their fighting spirit.
"Run! Run away!"
Xie Ninghe roared and ran without looking back.
Xue Chuntong no longer cared about his injuries. He grabbed a pill out of his pockets. After taking it, he split up with Xie Ninghe and fled.
The instructors of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall who pretended to be part of the caravan also scattered and fled.
"How could this be?! How could this be?!"
Du Che felt his mind collapsing.
Half a month ago, when he met Xu Ning, he was only in the state mind realm, so how could he be able to kill intention realm warriors in such a short amount of time?
'I must take advantage of the chaos and run!'
Du Che knew very well that if he was caught by Xu Ning, whether he was sent back to the martial arts hall or not, he would end up dead.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Du Che fled in the opposite direction of Chun Rin Canton.
'He reacted quickly!'
Xu Ning didn't hesitate when he saw his enemies running.
He decided he would first finish off Xue Chuntong and Xie Ninghe, ignoring the minor characters.
Once Xu Ning decided to pursue them, he took the lead to chase after Xue Chuntong first.
This person had been just injured, so it would be easier to chase after him.
'If it wasn't for Punch Three stressing my body out, causing my rhythm to be incoherent, I could have attacked Xie Ninghe before he could even react.'
Although Xu Ning did not fight perfectly, he did not feel regretful.
As he advanced Tidal Fist again in the future, his physical strength would increase as well. At that point, these problems would be solved.
"Xu Ning my friend, I know I was wrong!"
Xue Chuntong felt that Xu Ning was getting closer and closer.
Although he took the Anti-injury Dan just now, his previous injuries were still not completely suppressed.
He was already weaker than Xu Ning, and now that his pace had been slowed down by his injuries, Xu Ning was about to catch up with him.
"I am willing to give you 50% of the shares of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, no, 70% will be given to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall!"
Xue Chuntong begged for mercy loudly. "As long as you can spare me!"
Xu Ning sneered. "If I kill you, we can get 100% of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall!"
Xu Ning continued to chase after him.
Just as Xu Ning was right behind Xue Chuntong, he hit Xue Chuntong's back again with three punches.
100% power!
200% power!
400% power!
Xue Chuntong, who had no resistance left, instantly died.
'I'm not a ruthless person. It's just that you wanted to kill me, so you leave me no choice. If I don't kill you now, there will be endless troubles in the future.'
Xu Ning took a look at Xue Chuntong's body, after which Xu Ning then began to chase after Xie Ninghe.
During the process of pursuing Xie Ninghe, Xu Ning glanced at the direction Du Che had fled.
After mapping out Du Che's escape route in his mind, Xu Ning continued to hunt down Xie Ninghe.
'Xu Ning is so ruthless!'
The mountains were overgrown with weeds and thorns.
Du Che fled frantically. His hair was messy, and his clothes were damaged. He was in terrible shape.
As he ran away, Du Che wanted to find a fast horse, but the instructors of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall moved faster than him, which left him no horses to ride on.
Therefore, Du Che could only escape on his own legs.
'I have been running away for so long, so he should not be able to catch up.'
While running away, Du Che kept looking back.
'If it hadn't been for Xu Ning's sudden appearance, I would have advanced to the state mind realm and got together with Junior Sister!'
Du Che's teeth shook with hatred. "Xu Ning, just wait and see!"
"Wait until I join a Magic Sect and practice some magic techniques, one day I will be promoted to the void realm, then I will come back to take your worthless life!"
Du Che had already made plans to escape far away.
There was no turning back now. The farther he got away from Chun Rin Canton, the better.
"Du Che, who do you want to kill?!"
When Du Che looked back, he suddenly heard a terrifying voice.
He turned his head around, only to see Xu Ning's face appear in front of him.
He was carrying a cloth bag with a few round things inside, and the bag currently had blood dripping off of it.
"You…"
Du Che's heart suddenly tightened, his whole body trembled.
He was nervous and speechless, his mind blank.
"You traitor!"
Without any hesitation, Xu Ning stepped forward and hit Du Che's chest with his fist.
Du Che's entire body absorbed the impact, and blood started to spurt out of his mouth, killing him instantly.
Xu Ning had heard what Du Che said just now.
This person had betrayed the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall without any remorse, and he even wanted to join a Magic Sect and practice magic techniques to get his revenge.
If this kind of person was not eliminated, it could come back and bite him in the back.
'The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall crisis has finally been averted.'
Xu Ning said as he looked at Du Che's body.
After killing Xue Chuntong, Xu Ning caught up with Xie Ninghe.
In order to survive, Xie Ninghe was forced by Xu Ning to spill the details of Du Che's rebellion and their plans for the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
As he revealed the details, Xie Ninghe took the opportunity to attack Xu Ning, but Xu Ning easily dodged the attack and killed Xie Ninghe in return.
After everything was done, he cut off the heads of the three culprits and prepared to take them back to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
This was mainly to give Han Huxiao an explanation.
As for Du Che, Xu Ning hesitated at first whether or not to kill this person.
After all, he was the only apprentice of Han Huxiao, so it was best to hand him over to Han Huxiao for trial.
But Xu Ning was worried that Han Huxiao would be too softhearted, and after hearing Du Che's words of revenge just now, Xu Ning made the decision to deal with Du Che on the spot.
'I'll return to the city.'
Xu Ning took out a short knife, cut off Du Che's head, and wrapped it in the bag.
Afterwards, Xu Ning rushed back to Chun Rin Canton.
At that moment, the sun had just begun to rise.
…
Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
"What did you say? Xu Ning followed Du Che out of the city?"
Han Huxiao's tone filled with suspicion as he asked Han Yue.
"Yeah, Dad."
Han Yue said, "I heard this from an instructor that the two of them are heading out of the city."
"If they are going out of the city, why didn't they tell us?"
Han Huxiao asked.
"Um…" Han Yue asked, "I don't know either."
Han Huxiao looked worried.
"Father, what are you worried about?"
Han Yue noticed this. "Do you think that Deputy Hall Master Xu and Senior Brother both escaped?"
Han Huxiao did not respond. He paused for a while before asking, "Han Yue, do you think Du Che has been acting weird lately?"
"Acting weird?"
Han Yue thought about it carefully. "Kind of…"
She really didn't pay much attention to Du Che recently.
"What's the matter, Dad?"
Han Yue wondered.
Han Huxiao waved his hand. "Forget it, let's wait and see."
"Hall Master!"
An instructor's voice came from outside the door.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu is back!"
Han Huxiao had already given out an order that if Xu Ning or Du Che returned, they must report it to him immediately.
"How about Du Che?"
Han Huxiao asked.
"He didn't come back."
The instructor said.
"Let's go, let's see what happened."
Han Huxiao wanted to get out of bed.
"Dad, your injuries…"
Han Yue said with concern.
Han Huxiao waved his hand dismissively. "It's okay."
Han Huxiao seemed to have realized something.
With the help of Han Yue, Han Huxiao arrived at the backyard.
Xu Ning was already standing in the backyard.
Many instructors gathered next to Xu Ning.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu…"
Han Huxiao saw the bloody bag in Xu Ning's hand.
"Hall Master Han, Miss Han, instructors…"
Xu Ning said to everyone present, "The crisis of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall has been averted!"
Xu Ning threw the cloth bag in his hand.
Heads of several people rolled out.
"T-this is…"
Han Huxiao walked two steps forward and took a closer look.
Immediately after, his entire body froze, his eyes full of disbelief.
Xie Ninghe, owner of Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, Xue Chuntong, owner of Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, the intention realm warrior who ambushed him, as well as his only disciple Du Che.
Han Huxiao suddenly felt confused.
Not just Han Huxiao, Han Yue and other instructors felt the same.
They had been in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall for a long time, so they easily recognized top players such as Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, what's going on?"
Han Yue didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.
She could only ask Xu Ning.
Xu Ning had prepared his words for a long time. "Previously, they ambushed Hall Master Han, which greatly injured Hall Master Han. The people that wanted to destroy the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall were Xie Ninghe from the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, and Xue Chuntong from the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall!"
"And I have personally dealt with them!"
Xu Ning's words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.
"As for Du Che, this guy was a traitor!"
Xu Ning threw out another bomb that made everyone feel numb.
Xu Ning explained the process of Du Che luring him out of the city to ambush and kill him.
He told everyone what Xie Ninghe had revealed to him.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, are you saying that the reason why my father was ambushed at the previous escort mission was because of Du Che?"
Han Yue couldn't believe for a moment that her senior brother actually wanted to kill her father, his master.
"That's right."
Xu Ning looked at Han Huxiao. "Hall Master Han, if you don't believe me, we can go to Fenghe Martial Arts Hall; there must be evidence on Xie Ninghe's desk!"
"No need!"
Just when Xu Ning was about to prove his argument with empirical evidence, Han Huxiao let out a long sigh and said, "Deputy Hall Master Xu, I believe you!"
In fact, Han Huxiao had always felt that Du Che was suspicious after the ambush.
This was why Han Huxiao was worried about Du Che and Xu Ning going out of the city.
Han Huxiao had guessed that something was wrong with Du Che, but he did not sense any malicious intent from him. And since Du Che had been with him for a long time, Han Huxiao did not think much of it.
Xu Ning's words enlightened him.
Especially since Xu Ning's words exactly matched his experience.
If it hadn't for Du Che, he would have never gone on that escort mission.
"Du Che betrayed the martial arts hall, linked up with outsiders, and tried to murder his own family members! He deserves to die!"
After Han Huxiao recognized this reality, he was disappointed at first before getting furious.
He was an upright person, so he couldn't stand a traitor.
Du Che was not the only student of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, the instructors were also students of Han Huxiao.
Even if Xu Ning did not kill Du Che, Han Huxiao would follow the rules of the hall and kill Du Che himself.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Han Huxiao took a step forward, cupped his fists Xu Ning, and bowed deeply. "Thank you for saving the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall!"
After seeing Han Huxiao act like this, Han Yue and the other instructors also did the same.
They cupped their fists and bowed deeply to Xu Ning. "Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Xu!"
In fact, they were all grateful to Xu Ning from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Xu Ning was their deputy hall master, he had only recently come to the martial arts hall.
However, over this short period of time, Xu Ning saved the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall with his own efforts and solved the crisis for everyone.
"Hall Master Han, everyone, you're all too kind!"
Xu Ning humbly said, "When I first came here, I was taken care of by Hall Master Han and everyone here. We are all martial artists of the same sect, so we should of course help each other!"
Xu Ning's remarks made everyone respect him even more.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, you have worked hard. Let's rest first. We will go to the restaurant to celebrate in the afternoon."
Han Yue knew that since Xu Ning fought against strong enemies, she guessed that he must be tired.
Xu Ning waved his hand after hearing her words. "It's not the time to celebrate yet.
He turned his head to look at Han Huxiao. "Hall Master Han, isn't it our turn to cause trouble for the other halls?"
"What?"
When Han Huxiao heard this, he instantly reacted.
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong were dead, so Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall were now left unguarded.
Although they wouldn't be able to completely take over the halls, they should act as soon as possible.
"Then I'll have you thank you in advance, Deputy Hall Master Xu."
Han Huxiao said to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning nodded in response.
Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong wanted to take over the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
But now, Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and Chuxue Martial Arts Hall were about to be divided up and taken apart.
"Han Yue, select a few people and follow Deputy Hall Master Xu to take over the other halls!"
Han Huxiao ordered Han Yue.
"Yes."
Han Yue answered.
After a while, a group of people left the martial arts hall.
The instructors who followed Xu Ning were all very excited.
It had been a long time since they walked with such great confidence.
Because Chuxue Martial Arts Hall was closer, they went to the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall first.
When Xu Ning and the others arrived at the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall had not yet opened.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The head instructor knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A voice came from inside the door.
The head instructor who knocked on the door was full of confidence.
"Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, we are here to teach a lesson!"

Chapter 109: Miss Feng San's Surprise
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"There are troublemakers!"
More and more people were on the street.
Many people gathered around.
It was uncommon to see a martial arts hall being challenged, so the people in the city also wanted to join in the fun.
The doors of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall slowly opened.
The head instructor of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall opened the doors with a terrible look on his face.
Being challenged early in the morning would definitely not be fun for anyone.
"The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall is challenging us?"
The head instructor sneered, obviously unaware that their hall master Xue Chuntong had been killed while trying to ambush Xu Ning.
Xue Chuntong had only told a handful of people in the martial arts hall about his scheme, and all of them were high-level officials in the martial arts hall.
"Ask for your boss to come out."
Xu Ning took a step forward and pushed the head instructor away. "I want to learn martial arts from him."
"Who are you?"
The instructors in the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall began to move from the backyard to the foyer.
The instructors of the two sides faced each other aggressively, as if a fight could break out at any moment.
"Xu Ning, Deputy Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
Xu Ning did not conceal his identity. He directly revealed his status.
These words weakened the other party's momentum.
Xu Ning was a deputy hall master, so a head instructor was definitely no match for him.
Just when the instructors of Chuxue Martial Arts Hall were at a loss, another person walked out from the backyard.
The newcomer was a middle-aged woman. She wore a masculine battle outfit with her hair tied high.
"Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xu Ning?"
The middle-aged woman had obviously heard Xu Ning's introduction just now, as she had a surprised expression on her face.
She was the Deputy Hall Master of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, Ding Jianqiong.
She knew that Xue Chuntong and Xie Ninghe went to ambush Xu Ning this morning.
But right now, this person claimed that he was Xu Ning, which puzzled Ding Jianqiong a little.
'Didn't Xu Ning go out of the city today?'
Ding Jianqiong thought to herself, 'But if this person hasn't been tricked out of the city, then why hasn't the hall master come back yet?'
"Yes, I am Xu Ning."
Xu Ning stared at Ding Jianqiong.
Ding Jianqiong didn't hide her aura, so Xu Ning could easily tell that she was also a martial artist in the intention realm, but she must have recently advanced to the intention realm.
"It's perfect that you are a martial artist in the intention realm. I was afraid that you might be too weak and would refuse my challenge."
Xu Ning invited her to a spar. "Please do me a favor and spar with me. If you refuse or lose, you must hand over the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall's plate."
Ding Jianqiong frowned when she heard these words.
Generally speaking, if there was a challenge between martial arts halls, the loser would at most lose some reputation.
If he was here to grab their plate, then he was ready for a head-on fight.
"Please come to the backyard."
Ding Jianqiong was in a tough spot.
She had a terrible feeling in her heart.
"Just here, no need for all that."
Xu Ning waved his hand, and the head instructor of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall cleared up the space.
The crowd outside applauded for a while. They were all excited to watch the fight.
"Then please."
Ding Jianqiong's face was pale.
The instructors of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall also stepped back to make room.
'This person is not easy to deal with.'
Ding Jianqiong looked at Xu Ning cautiously.
She only hoped that Hall Master Xue Chuntong could come back soon.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, apologies in advance!"
Ding Jianqiong took the lead in the fight.
The only perfection realm external skill she had mastered was a palm technique.
Ding Jianqiong was agile. She rushed in front of Xu Ning. At the same time, she waved her palm, aiming to hit Xu Ning on the chest.
Xu Ning didn't try to dodge at all. He just threw out a punch in retaliation.
The punch hit her palm!
Bang!
Ding Jianqiong was pushed away. She slammed into the wall, and blood began to pour from her mouth.
Instantly, the crowd outside went silent.
"Okay!"
After a while, everyone reacted. There was a sudden burst of cheers.
The spectators outside the door and the instructors of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall all began to roar.
The Chuxue Martial Arts Hall was silent.
"That's that."
Xu Ning glanced at Han Yue. "Take the plate."
"Understood."
Han Yue smiled and looked at Xu Ning. Her look of worship became stronger and stronger.
What's terrifying about Xu Ning was not only his strength, but also his speed of improvement.
"Wait a second!"
At this time, on the side of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, an older instructor came out.
"Taking the plate is a bit too ridiculous." The person said, "According to the rules, you have to defeat the strongest person of a martial arts hall to be eligible for plate taking. Our hall master is not here yet, and you have not defeated him yet, so on what grounds do you deserve to take our plate?"
"Your hall master?"
Xu Ning looked at the man, then turned his eyes to Ding Jianqiong, who was struggling to stand up. "He's not coming back."
'Not coming back?'
Just when the others were still wondering, Ding Jianqiong's pupils shrunk, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Hall Master…"
Ding Jianqiong's head was spinning.
Ding Jianqiong thought back to Xu Ning's strength just now. Ding Jianqiong finally understood Xu Ning's words; she knew why Xue Chuntong had not returned.
'Hall Master Xue Chuntong failed to ambush Xu Ning. I'm afraid he's already…'
"You!"
The instructor still wanted to argue with Xu Ning, but was suddenly stopped by Ding Jianqiong.
"Shut up!"
Ding Jianqiong's body trembled slightly. "Let him take it."
"What?!"
The instructors at the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall's side all looked confused.
"All of you, shut up."
Ding Jianqiong's eyes swept over everyone coldly. "I said, let him take it."
The foyer was silent.
Ding Jianqiong finally understood why Xu Ning came to the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall. It was not to challenge her nor to spar, but to destroy the hall.
"Han Yue, after you take the plate, stay behind."
Xu Ning knew that Ding Jianqiong had already guessed what was going on. "Talk to the deputy hall master about what happens next."
Xu Ning's words were vague. Most of the people present did not understand him.
But Ding Jianqiong knew that the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall was going to be divided.
…
After leaving the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, Xu Ning went straight to the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall.
When Xu Ning came to the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall was already empty.
The Fenghe Martial Arts Hall instructors who pretended to be part of the caravan fled back to the city and brought news that Xu Ning had killed Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong.
The news scared the instructors of the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, and they all fled and ran away.
When Xu Ning saw this, he was baffled. He ordered someone to pick up the martial arts hall plate and take the evidence of Xie Ninghe's connection with Du Che. Afterwards, he went back to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
The next step was to take over the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall before the other parties in the canton city could react.
Xu Ning was not good at doing these things, so he just left it to Han Yue and other people in the martial arts hall.
Now, Xu Ning only needed to wait for everything to be done and get his share of the profits.
Over the next few days, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall took over the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall. The news of this soon spread in the martial arts circle of the canton city.
Instantly, the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall went from an ordinary martial arts power to one of the top powerhouses, second only to the three family clans of Chun Rin Canton.
Xu Ning's name was also respected by many martial arts masters.
…
Chun Rin Canton.
Feng family.
Miss Feng San's boudoir.
"Miss San."
A maid came in from outside the house and saluted Feng Chengyu.
Feng Chengyu was currently wearing a thin dress that outlined her graceful figure.
"Just now someone came and said that Fourth Young Master asked Father Master if he could obtain the rights to govern the newly developed pure mine of the family."
The maid reported respectfully.
Feng Chengyu frowned upon hearing this.
"Did my father agree?"
Feng Chengyu asked coldly.
"No, Father Master is still deciding."
The maid responded.
Feng Chengyu snorted coldly. Her eyes showed dissatisfaction. "My fourth brother always goes against me."
"If I wasn't a woman, he would have never gotten the chance to compete with me."
Feng Chengyu was filled with hatred. This was not the first time that her fourth brother Feng Haoqi got into a confrontation with her.
Feng Chengyu's eldest brother and second brother, the true pillars of the Feng family, had already become official disciples of the Yuelan Sect.
The two younger siblings were both born from mistresses, not to mention they were still young.
Hence, in the future, the authority of the family would either fall in the hands of Feng Chengyu or Feng Haoqi.
Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi were both born from mistresses.
But in terms of talent, Feng Chengyu was one level higher than Feng Haoqi.
But compared to Feng Chengyu, Feng Haoqi had a huge advantage, which was that he was a male.
It was precisely because of this that the elders of the family were more inclined to let Feng Haoqi become the successor of the Feng family.
Fortunately, in the Feng family's past history, there had been women in powerful positions, so Feng Chengyu did not lose the right to compete to be the successor of the family.
Faced with Feng Chengyu's complaints, the maid dared not speak in fear that she might offend Feng Chengyu.
"You can go…"
Although Feng Chengyu was dissatisfied, she was helpless for the time being
"Miss San, one more thing…"
The maid said cautiously.
"What?"
Feng Chengyu controlled her mood and asked.
"The two martial arts halls in the canton city, the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall, were recently unplated." The maid said, "There are already many forces who have gone out to take their share of the loot. Miss, should we intervene?"
"The Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall…"
Feng Chengyu muttered to herself as she thought.
She had heard of these two martial arts halls before.
Although they were not the top martial arts forces in the canton city, they were quite famous.
Feng Chengyu didn't expect their plates to be taken away so suddenly.
"Who did this?"
Feng Chengyu asked.
"A martial arts hall called the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
The maid answered truthfully.
"The Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall?"
Feng Chengyu's expression was weird. "Are you sure?"
"That's right, Miss San." The maid quickly explained, "The martial arts circles in the city have spread news that the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall and the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall had joined forces to deal with Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. But in the end, they were defeated by the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. Not only were the two martial arts masters killed, but the fattest piece of meat was also bitten off by the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
Feng Chengyu's eyes were filled with surprise.
A few days ago, the Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Han Huxiao, came to ask her for help.
At that time, Han Huxiao also seemed to be seriously injured.
'Only a few days have passed since then, but the situation has been completely reversed?'
"Han Huxiao has this ability?"
Feng Chengyu didn't believe it.
"It's not Han Huxiao." The maid continued, "Apparently the person who reversed the situation was a person named Xu Ning. This person just became the Deputy Hall Master of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall not long ago."
"Xu Ning?"
Feng Chengyu said this strange name.
"Apparently this person is extremely strong. With his own strength, he killed three warriors who were in the intention realm."
The maid added, "Moreover, this man is also very young."
"Is that so…"
Feng Chengyu nodded silently.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Chengyu said, "Let's go to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, I want to personally see this Xu Ning."
"Yes."
The maid answered quickly.
…
Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
Inside the martial arts hall, everyone was busy.
After looting the resources of the two martial arts halls, everyone was busy working.
Even the injured Han Huxiao had to show his face several times and deal with the relationship between all parties.
Out of everyone, Xu Ning was the laziest.
While everyone was busy working, Xu Ning was in his room, studying the Thousand Source Bug.
After changing to the new ore, the Thousand Source Bug began to release a new type of Aura Crystals.
But this time, it did not meet Xu Ning's expectations.
This new type of Aura Crystal only contained 3 units of energy.
Although it contained a lot of energy, the interval of the Thousand Source Bug expelling Aura Crystals had risen to six days.
At this rate, Xu Ning's harvest was only 15 units a month.
This was 5 units less than when the Thousand Source Bug was swallowing pure ores.
However, Xu Ning was not too disappointed.
That was because Han Huxiao had already made a promise to him.
Once the resources of the two martial arts halls had been completely digested, not only would Xu Ning be given a considerable amount of resources, but Xu Ning would also be given equity.
With that, Xu Ning now had a steady stream of dividend income.
At this point, the energy he could harvest from Aura Crystals seemed inconsequential.
But even so, Xu Ning did not ignore the Thousand Source Bug. After all, a penny was a penny.
Moreover, the Thousand Source Bug would gradually mature, and as it matured, the quality of Aura Crystals it would produce would also improve.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu!"
The second after Xu Ning gave the Thousand Source Bug a new ore, Han Yue's voice came from outside the door.
"What do you need?"
Xu Ning packed up and opened the door.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, come with me to the parlor."
Han Yue quickly said, "Miss Feng San is here, and my father wants you to meet her."
"Miss Feng San?"
After hearing this, Xu Ning nodded. "Coming."
After living in Chun Rin Canton for a while, Xu Ning had learned that the Feng, Xiao, and Ye family clans were the top players in the canton city. The three of them formulated the administrative rules of Chun Rin Canton.
"Miss Feng San didn't come here to ask for her part of the shares, right?"
On the way to the parlor, Xu Ning asked Han Yue.
Han Huxiao had told Xu Ning that they had asked Feng Chengyu for help in the past.
"I don't know."
Han Yue shook her head. "I just hope that Miss Feng San won't be too outrageous. Although we did beg her for help, she never actually helped us."
The two walked quickly, and they soon arrived at the parlor.
Xu Ning finally met the famous Miss Feng San..

Feng Chengyu, dressed in a pure white garment, had her long hair casually tied.
While sitting on the seat, she exuded an arrogant temperament.
Han Huxiao sat next to her.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, come."
After seeing Xu Ning walk into the meeting room, Han Huxiao quickly got up.
"This is Miss Feng San."
Han Huxiao secretly gave Xu Ning a look, indicating that Miss Feng San was a very important figure.
Xu Ning understood his signal. He didn't even care that the other party was near his age. He just cupped his fists and bowed slightly.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Feng San."
Han Yue also bowed.
Feng Chengyu kept her gaze on Xu Ning's body, scanning him from top and bottom.
"Xu Ning…"
A faint smile appeared on Feng Chengyu's mouth. "So you killed three warriors in the intention realm?"
"Yes, luckily."
Xu Ning said humbly.
"That was not luck." Feng Chengyu seemed very interested. "How did you do it?"
After Xu Ning heard her, he glanced at Han Huxiao with an inquiring look in his eyes.
The reason why he could easily slay three warriors in the intention realm was because he had the Tidal Fist void realm secret technique.
He was not sure whether to hide this from Feng Chengyu.
Immediately, Han Huxiao gave Xu Ning an affirming look.
Xu Ning understood that Feng Chengyu was a member of the Feng family after all. A void realm secret technique was not a rare commodity for her.
"The reason I could do that is because I practiced a void realm secret technique to the first level."
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
"Practiced a void realm secret technique?"
Feng Chengyu looked surprised.
She was a member of the Feng family, and the family clan obviously had void realm secret techniques.
It was precisely because of this that Feng Chengyu knew how difficult it was to cultivate a void realm secret technique while in the mortal realm.
Although Feng Chengyu looked young, she was almost 30 years old. Her martial arts talent was average. With her family resources, she was only in the state mind realm, and she had not personally practiced a void realm secret technique.
However, she knew some of the genius disciples in the family tried to practice a void realm secret technique when they were in the mortal realm eighth stage or mortal realm ninth stage, and very few of them succeeded.
Among the people Feng Chengyu knew, only her eldest and second brother could practice a void realm secret technique while in the mortal realm.
And both of them entered the Yuelan Sect.
Not just Feng Chengyu, even Han Huxiao looked shocked.
Han Huxiao knew about this for a long time, but now that Xu Ning told him again, he still found it amazing.
Han Huxiao had kept Tidal Fist for decades, but he had never studied it.
But Xu Ning had learned it in such a short time.
"Awesome, impressive!"
Feng Chengyu did not hesitate to compliment him.
There was a look of surprise and joy in her eyes, and at the same time, she began to plan in her mind.
"Xu Ning, if you come to the Feng family, you will be the best out of the young geniuses."
Feng Chengyu said, "No wonder you saved the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall alone. I have to thank you, you saved me a lot of effort. After all, Hall Master Han had also asked for my help, but before I could get my hands dirty, you already solved the problem."
She was complimenting Xu Ning.
But after she finished speaking, Feng Chengyu looked at Han Huxiao.
There was an underlying meaning in her words.
After Han Huxiao heard this, his heart tensed up.
He instantly realized Feng Chengyu's intentions.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu is indeed very strong, but Miss San, you did promise to protect us back then. I will never forget this."
Han Huxiao knew that although Feng Chengyu did not provide any practical help to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, he would definitely not be able to leave Feng Chengyu out of the profit share.
Otherwise, Feng Chengyu would harbor feelings of resentment. If that happened, the small gain would not be worth the loss.
Feng Chengyu was a distinguished person, even if she couldn't become the head of the Feng family in the future, she was still a powerful figure in Chun Rin Canton.
"You are quite sharp."
Feng Chengyu nodded gently. "Since you are so kind, I can't be too greedy."
"Although I did not personally end up helping the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Center, the promise I gave you wasn't for nothing."
Feng Chengyu went on to say, "So it is reasonable for you to give me some shares."
"Of course."
Han Huxiao nodded in agreement.
"As for how many shares, I won't negotiate, you can figure that out."
Feng Chengyu spoke casually.
But Han Huxiao suddenly felt a wave of pressure.
The words "figure that out" had a deeper meaning.
Because if she did not have a specific amount in mind, he must carefully consider the amount of shares himself.
If he distributed too many shares to Feng Chengyu, he would lose out too much.
However, if he gave too little shares, Miss Feng San would not be satisfied, which also would be troublesome.
Han Huxiao was lost in thought, his mind spinning rapidly.
After a while, Han Huxiao slowly said, "Miss San…"
"We are about to integrate the plates of the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall. By then, the net profit of our Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall will be around 1,500 gold taels a year."
The profit of Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall had increased by more than 80%.
Han Huxiao said, "I am willing to give you 50% of the shares after the merger, Miss San."
"50%?"
Feng Chengyu was taken aback for a moment before she leaned back with a smile. "You are really generous."
Not only did Feng Chengyu feel this way, Han Yue also felt that her father had given too much.
"Yes, I have decided." Han Huxiao continued, "50% goes to you, 30% goes to Deputy Hall Master Xu, the remaining 20% goes to me, but my split will be used to cover the expenses of the hall."
Xu Ning looked surprised after hearing this.
Han Huxiao had informed Xu Ning that Xu Ning's monthly salary would be exchanged for shares instead.
But Han Huxiao did not tell him the specific details.
But according to what Han Huxiao said just now, if he received 30% of the shares, he would make a ton of money.
Although looking at the profit share, he would only receive a little more than 30 gold taels per month. Compared to the past, his monthly income did not increase by too much.
However, this was only a split of the profit share, it did not include the shares themselves.
If he counted the value of the stocks, Han Huxiao gave him close to 3000 gold taels.
If he did not want to accept it and sold it directly, he would gain a considerable amount of wealth.
"You won't take part of the profit?"
Feng Chengyu looked at Han Huxiao.
Han Huxiao said, "This is my life's work. If the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall survives, keeping 20% of the stock is enough. As for the profit share, there's no need for me to take anything."
Feng Chengyu listened and smiled. "You are quite generous. However, if I take 50% of your stock, I will be tied to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. That's quite smart."
Faced with Feng Chengyu's words, Han Huxiao just smiled and said nothing.
He didn't explain anything. This was indeed one of his considerations. There was no need to cover up the obvious.
"However, Hall Master Han…"
Feng Chengyu paused, the smile on her face gradually faded. "Actually, you don't need to give me so much if you want to tie me to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
"If you can promise me one condition, I will only need 20% of the shares to protect your Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall."
Feng Chengyu's words made Han Huxiao frown.
"Miss San, please tell me."
Han Huxiao cautiously said.
"I want to borrow someone from you." Feng Chengyu looked at Xu Ning. "I want to borrow Deputy Hall Master Xu for a favor."
Xu Ning, Han Huxiao ,and Han Yue were all taken aback.
Especially Han Yue, she bit her lip seemingly reluctantly.
No one thought Feng Chengyu would mention his name suddenly.
"So, Hall Master Han, do you agree with my request?"
Feng Chengyu saw that they weren't responding, so she took the initiative to ask.
Han Huxiao pondered for a moment before responding, "Miss San, I can't decide on this. It's up to Deputy Hall Master Xu on whether or not to help you."
Han Huxiao never regarded Deputy Hall Master Xu as his subordinate.
In fact, in his eyes, Xu Ning was the pillar and foundation of the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
"Xu Ning, what do you think?"
Feng Chengyu asked Xu Ning again.
Xu Ning didn't know what to say.
"Xu Ning."
Feng Chengyu stood up and walked slowly in front of Xu Ning.
"You may feel very pleased that Hall Master Han is giving you a large piece of the pie. But I know that young people like you with extremely high potential do not wish for money, instead you wish for the resources that money cannot buy."
Feng Chengyu stared at Xu Ning. "You want to use resources to improve your strength to a higher realm."
"But…"
Feng Chengyu changed her words. "You have to know that gold and silver and other ordinary currency can only help you reach the peak of the mortal realm. If you want to reach past the mortal realm, you will need different kinds of resources."
Xu Ning listened, his eyes narrowed.
Feng Chengyu's words did intrigue him.
"If you stay in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, no matter how much money you get, you will not be able to advance to the void realm. Even if you have a void realm secret technique, you have no way to obtain the more precious void realm secret scroll."
Feng Chengyu went on to say, "You are so young and so talented. Your goal isn't just the spirit realm, right?"
"If you follow me, I can assure you that when the time is right, in three years… no, within two years, I will definitely get you a void realm secret scroll!"
Feng Chengyu's tone was full of confidence. "You have to know that the Feng, Xiao, and Ye families in Chun Rin Canton are all backed by the Yuelan Sect."
Yuelan Sect was one of the strongest martial arts factions in State Jifeng.
Feng Chengyu's words piqued Xu Ning's interest.
Like Feng Chengyu said, currently there was no way for him to obtain a void realm secret scroll.
Moreover, even if he advanced to the void realm, the resources bought by using gold and silver would be difficult to support the subsequent Martial Arts Panel advancements.
Just reaching the first level of Tidal Fist required 100 units of energy. If he really wanted to advance to the void realm in the future, then the demand for energy would definitely be far greater.
Only by entering a higher-level environment could Xu Ning obtain better resources and enhance his strength.
Hence, Feng Chengyu was indeed offering a valuable opportunity.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu…"
At this time, Han Huxiao spoke.
Just now, he clearly noticed that Xu Ning was tempted.
Moreover, Han Huxiao did believe that what Feng Chengyu said was the truth.
"I think you can accept Miss Feng San's proposal." Han Huxiao took the initiative to persuade Xu Ning. "With Miss Feng San's protection, our martial arts hall will no longer be in danger. You can leave in peace and follow Miss Feng San. I will fully reserve your shares for you."
Xu Ning looked at Han Huxiao with a very grateful expression. "Thank you, Hall Master Han, for everything."
Although Han Huxiao didn't have any real qualifications to make decisions for him, his words made Xu Ning feel very warm.
"Okay!"
Feng Chengyu felt relieved when Xu Ning agreed.
Now that the competition between her and her fourth brother Feng Haoqi was getting more and more intense, she was in urgent need for talents.
If Xu Ning joined, not only would he increase the immediate combat power on her side, but he would also grow in the future and even become her own trump card.
"Hall Master Han, I won't bother you any longer."
Feng Chengyu didn't plan to stay any longer once her goal was achieved.
Before leaving, Feng Chengyu said to Xu Ning, "In three days, come to Feng Mansion to find me."
"Understood, Miss San."
Xu Ning nodded in response.
Afterwards, Feng Chengyu left without letting Han Huxiao and others send her off.
"Han Yue, you're excused. I need to talk to Deputy Hall Master Xu."
After Han Yue left, only Han Huxiao and Xu Ning were left in the parlor.
"Deputy Hall Master Xu, goodbye now. I actually expected this to happen long ago."
Han Huxiao took the initiative to speak, "I know very well that a person like you would never be tied to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall forever. Thus, I consider myself quite lucky to have been acquainted with you."
"Hall Master Han, you're too kind."
Xu Ning had always been grateful for Han Huxiao.
After joining the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, Xu Ning had gained a lot from Han Huxiao, whether it was the salary or the Tidal Fist void realm secret technique.
"I also hope that after you leave with Miss San, if you ever have some spare time, come and visit the martial arts hall."
Han Huxiao smiled happily.
"Of course."
Xu Ning nodded.
"Oh yeah…"
Han Huxiao seemed to remember something. "Once we merge with the Chuxue Martial Arts Hall and the Fenghe Martial Arts Hall, in addition to their businesses, we will also obtain a lot of spirit medicine and gold notes. Because we are currently coordinating with every party, there is an urgent need for money, so the gold notes will be spent instead. As for the spirit medicines, you can take them. Those spirit medicines should be worth about 500 to 600 gold taels."
When Xu Ning heard this, he thanked him and accepted the spirit medicine.
He didn't plan on selling the shares for the time being, so Xu Ning still needed the energy gained from these spirit medicines.
At the same time, Xu Ning understood why he couldn't find any loot on Xie Ninghe and Xue Chuntong's bodies.
It seemed that all of the precious resources were left at their homes.
"Also, Deputy Hall Master Xu…"
Han Huxiao said, "Because Miss Feng San now only owns 20% of the shares, I am going to increase the percentage of shares allocated to you to 50%."
"50%?"
Xu Ning refused. "Hall Master Han, this is not necessary, 30% is enough."
When Han Huxiao saw Xu Ning's resolute attitude, he finally changed his words. "40% then, you get 40%, and I will also get 40%."
Xu Ning finally chose to agree.
Xu Ning had basically received all of the profits from this incident. He was very satisfied with his harvest.
Xu Ning was about to absorb the energy from the spirit medicines, preparing himself to advance to the spirit realm..

Chapter 111: Great Strength Improvements: Spirit Realm, Tidal Fist Level Two

The next day.
Han Huxiao delivered the spirit medicines to Xu Ning as promised.
Because there were many types of spirit medicine, making it quite troublesome to use, Xu Ning did not exchange all of them for spirit medicines that had greater efficiency.
Except for some highly functional elixirs, such as Breath Dans, Xu Ning absorbed most of the spirit medicines and dan medicines.
This allowed Xu Ning to absorb 550 units of energy.
Combined with the previous 125 units from before, Xu Ning now had 675 units of energy.
Before improving his strength, Xu Ning first chose two external skills from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
One of the external skills was called Step Cloud Wave, which was a body technique.
Xu Ning had a strong physical body coupled with strong qi, so his agility and speed were not weaker than an opponent in the same realm. In addition to that, Xu Ning's energy points were more precious before, so Xu Ning did not practice an external skill body technique.
But now that he had plenty of energy, Xu Ning decided to make up for his shortcomings.
The other external skill he chose was called Hidden Breath Tactic.
This was a highly functional external skill, but there was no gain in combat power from mastering it.
There were almost no martial artists who would spend their time and energy to practice this external skill.
The reason why Xu Ning selected this external skill was to cover up his later advancement to the spirit realm.
After all, it had only been less than a month since he advanced to the intention realm. If someone noticed that he had advanced to the spirit realm, then his speed of advancement would likely bring a lot of unnecessary attention.
Although a powerful warrior could hide his aura, they could also easily accidentally expose it.
With the Hidden Breath Tactic, he had a double guarantee.
As long as he didn't run into a void realm martial artist, Xu Ning's true strength after his advancement would not be revealed, giving himself a true ace up his sleeves.
Once everything was ready, Xu Ning shut himself in his room.
Xu Ning first improved his internal skill.
He spent 300 units of energy to advance from the intention realm to the spirit realm.
The "" sign beside his Spring Breeze Tactic disappeared.
Xu Ning's strength had risen to the top of the mortal realm.
If he wanted to advance further in the future, he would have to wait until he got his hands on a void realm secret scroll.
After consuming 300 units of energy, Xu Ning still had 355 units of energy remaining.
Afterwards, Xu Ning raised his Tidal Fist to level two.
This once again consumed 300 units of energy.
After the Tidal Fist was raised to level two, the meridians and bones in Xu Ning's body were raised by another level. He could now withstand more strain from throwing out Tidal Fist punches.
Prior to this, Xu Ning felt pain in his muscles and bones when he executed a quadruple strength punch, but now, this pain had weakened a lot.
In addition to that, Xu Ning could now throw double strength punches without throwing a single strength punch to pave the way.
Prior to this, he needed to throw a single strength punch first to stimulate his body and internal qi before he could throw a double strength punch.
But now, that was unnecessary.
This allowed Xu Ning to develop an extremely powerful attack method, a storm-like series of uninterrupted double strength punches.
Each punch was a double strength punch, hitting the enemy like raindrops. The intensive and continuous punches would no doubt cause the enemy to collapse.
With the advancement, Xu Ning was also now able to throw quadruple strength punches.
600 units of energy were instantly consumed, leaving Xu Ning with 75 units of energy remaining
Afterwards, Xu Ning split the remaining units of energy into two parts, consuming 44 units of energy to improve his Step Cloud Wave and Hidden Breath Tactic to the perfection realm.
Xu Ning consumed another 18 units of energy and smoothly advanced his Light Feather Bow Technique to the perfection realm.
After everything was over, Xu Ning became an almighty fighter in the spirit realm with multiple combat methods, including boxing, knife, body, and bow.
In addition, the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic improved Xu Ning's frontal combat capability, while the Hidden Breath Tactic improved Xu Ning's assassin-type combat capability.
Now, Xu Ning could truly say that he was the strongest mortal realm martial artist.
Xu Ning's Martial Arts Panel was updated.

'It feels like I'm a new man!'
When Xu Ning looked at the long list of perfection realm skills on the Martial Arts Panel, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
'Now, the only thing left to do right now is to obtain a void realm secret scroll!'
Xu Ning's heart was overwhelmed with expectations.
After thinking about his experience over the past six months, Xu Ning felt disappointed.
If everything went well, he would have arrived at the Source Sect already.
But he could have never expected that he would be dragged into Wei Changqing's mess, and be taken as a slave to the mines in State Jifeng.
After nearly half a year of grueling work, Xu Ning accumulated enough strength and found the right time to escape.
Afterwards, he joined the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and was taken under Han Huxiao's wing.
Although he solved the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall crisis by himself, the help Han Huxiao provided to him was much greater.
After all these troubles, Xu Ning's realm improved, his experiences accumulated, and his desire for martial arts strength had gotten even stronger.
'After I advance to the void realm, I will return to State Feiyun.'
Xu Ning was looking forward to it.
Xu Ning had been worried about his family.
The news of his disappearance must have reached the Tao Village. His sister-in-law and Tao Tao must be concerned about him.
Fortunately, before Xu Ning left, he had given enough money to them. At the very least, they were in good financial condition.
'Furthermore, after returning to State Feiyun, I can also bring news to the Wei clan, and let the Wei clan rescue their three abducted family members.'
Wei Changqing had previously helped Xu Ning a lot. Xu Ning had always been concerned about him.
But right now, his strength was limited. Xu Ning did not have the strength to rescue them at all.
Xu Ning took a deep breath.
Whether it was reuniting with his family or rescuing the abducted, the prerequisite was to break through the shackles of the mortal realm and become a void realm martial artist.
…
Two more days went by.
Xu Ning bid farewell to his colleagues in the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall.
Although they had only gotten along for a short amount of time, everyone went through thick and thin together and formed friendships with each other.
Xu Ning's prestige among the instructors was already close to Han Huxiao's.
Although reluctant to leave, Xu Ning bid farewell to Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall and went to the Feng mansion in Chun Rin Canton.
The Feng mansion was on the east side of Chun Rin Canton.
Xu Ning quickly rushed to the mansion.
While on the way to the Feng mansion, Xu Ning thought back to what Han Huxiao had told him about the three families of Chun Rin Canton.
The overall environment in State Jifeng was rather chaotic, with many factions and families fighting each other frequently.
Among them, one of the strongest forces was the Yuelan Sect.
There were six prefectures and ten cantons.
Chun Rin Canton was one of them.
In order to better govern the territories under its command, the Yuelan Sect sent out disciples to station here many years ago.
When these disciples set up their families and spread their influence, they would become local powerhouses. According to the instructions of the Yuelan Sect, they supported each other and formulated rules for the canton or prefecture to ensure stability.
During this process, the Yuelan Sect would provide resources to the families of their disciples in order to ensure their hold of power.
This was how the Feng, Xiao, and Ye families started in Chun Rin Canton.
The Feng family that Xu Ning was visiting was very strong.
Within the family, there were more than one void realm martial arts master.
However, they practiced hard all year round and hardly showed up.
The Feng family possessed a huge amount of resources, and they supported the cultivation of younger generations.
However, they were not just advocating the doctrine of martial arts, but also aptitude.
For example, the most talented Feng family descendants all went to the Yuelan Sect.
These geniuses were responsible for gaining a foothold in the Yuelan Sect, thereby gaining more power in the Yuelan Sect and fighting for more resources for the family.
Ordinary talents, such as Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi, were used to manage the family and ensure the stability and growth of the family.
Even though they were average in strength, they had a lot of resources on their hands.
After sorting the information in his mind, Xu Ning soon arrived at the Feng mansion.
He was still two hundred meters away from the Feng mansion, but there were already guards patrolling back and forth.
Xu Ning realized a problem.
Feng Chengyu only told him to come here in three days, but she did not leave a token for him.
Without a token, getting into the Feng mansion would be a problem.
However, just when Xu Ning was about to be sent away by the patrol guards, a young girl appeared at the gates of the Feng mansion.
Xu Ning recognized this young girl. She had followed Feng Chengyu to the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall. She was Feng Chengyu's personal maid named Xiao Die.
"Xu Ning!"
Xiao Die saw Xu Ning and greeted him with a smile, avoiding Xu Ning's embarrassment from being kicked out by the guards.
"Xiao Die."
Xu Ning also greeted her.
"It seems that I came at the right time."
Xiao Die was young. Her whole body exuded the vitality of a young woman.
Xu Ning suddenly realized that he was only 19 years old this year.
"Miss San has a good impression of you."
While leading Xu Ning into the Feng mansion, Xiao Die said to Xu Ning, "Sister has been talking about you nonstop for the past two days. She said that when you come here, we have to treat you nicely."
"Then please extend my gratitude to Miss San."
Xu Ning replied.
"Miss San keeps praising you, so Uncle Song is also very curious about you. He said that when you come, he will test you."
Xiao Die's eyes blinked. "You must perform well."
"Uncle Song?"
Xu Ning looked confused. "He is…"
"Uncle Song is the chief manager in our yard. Not only is he very strong, but he is also very capable in getting things done. He is highly regarded by Miss San."
Xiao Die seemed to be quite innocent. She answered all of Xu Ning's questions.
Xu Ning nodded when he heard her words.
Xu Ning discovered a piece of information from her words.
Xiao Die mentioned "yard" and "chief manager", which showed that within the Feng mansion, there were still internal cliques.
Their yard should be one of the internal cliques, with Feng Chengyu as the leader.
Xiao Die took Xu Ning through the garden and the corridor. They walked for nearly 15 minutes before reaching Feng Chengyu's courtyard.
"Almost there."
After walking for a while, Xiao Die said.
However, after turning a corner, a few people walked towards him.
After seeing the faces of those people, Xiao Die looked like she wanted to hide from them.
But when she saw that the other party had noticed her, Xiao Die could only bite the bullet and walk forward. She lowered her head and quietly said to Xu Ning,"That is Fourth Young Master, remember not to offend him."
Xu Ning nodded.
Before coming here, Han Huxiao had told him about the dispute between Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi.
One of them would be in control of the Feng family in the future.
"Hello, Fourth Young Master."
Xiao Die took the initiative to bow to the person in front of her.
Xu Ning stood behind her, nodding slightly, but did not say anything.
Feng Haoqi was a young man with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes and a majestic figure. He wore a brocade with a jade belt on his waist. He exuded an extraordinary aura.
He intended to walk past Xiao Die, but he caught a glimpse of Xu Ning.
Feng Haoqi stood still and looked at Xu Ning.
"Who is he?"
Feng Haoqi squinted.
"Fourth Young Master, he is the yard protector your sister invited."
Xiao Die had already prepared the excuse.
"Yard protector?"
Feng Haoqi smiled and asked Xu Ning, "What's your name?"
"I'm Xu Ning."
Xu Ning responded truthfully.
"Xu Ning?" Feng Haoqi scratched his head. With a folding fan in his hand, he asked, "Xu Ning from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall?"
"That's me."
Xu Ning didn't expect Feng Haoqi to know his name.
After confirming Xu Ning's identity, Feng Haoqi laughed. "My sister is sure fast. You only gained your reputation a few days ago, but my sister already poached you away. Unfortunately, I am a step slower."
Xu Ning did not answer.
Judging by what Feng Haoqi said, he seemed to want to recruit Xu Ning.
"You should be careful." Feng Haoqi's tone was cold. "She is a person with a surly personality, and she is definitely not easy to relate to. If you ever want to leave her side, come find me."
After Feng Haoqi finished speaking, he walked away.
"Let's go, Xu Ning."
Xiao Die was angry that Feng Haoqi had ridiculed Miss San in front of her, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Even Feng Chengyu's people did not dare to speak ill of Feng Haoqi behind his back.
"It seems that the dispute between Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi is quite public."
Xu Ning had already figured out the situation from the short exchange.
'It seems that the children of big family clans don't have easy lives.'
Xu Ning thought in his mind.
Afterwards, he followed Xiao Die, took a few turns, and came to another courtyard filled with fragrant flowers.
There were two guards at the courtyard gates.
Xu Ning noticed that they were in the internal qi realm.
After entering the courtyard, they were surrounded by greenery. The flowers and plants were planted gracefully.
"Miss San, Xu Ning is here."
As soon as Xiao Die entered the yard, she shouted..

Chapter 112: The Fight For Power, The Chance Of Entering The Yuelan Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
'How lavish…'
Xu Ning felt that this spacious courtyard covered an area equivalent to that of a wealthy man's house in a county town.
In addition to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, there were also a few villas. It was hard to imagine that this was just a courtyard in the mansion.
There were several maids in the yard. They were either sweeping the floor, watering the flowers, cleaning the weeds, or trimming the branches. They were all busy working.
After seeing Xu Ning come in, everyone looked at him curiously.
Men rarely entered Miss San's courtyard, especially younger men.
"Where is Miss San?"
Xiao Die walked to the main villa in the courtyard.
"Miss Sister went outside."
An old man with a white beard and white hair came out of the main villa.
He was skinny and had a face full of wrinkles. As he walked, he even slightly trembled.
Just looking at his eyes alone, Xu Ning concluded that this trembling old man was a master.
"Uncle Song?"
Xiao Die quickly saluted the old man.
'So this is Uncle Song.'
When Xu Ning saw this, he also nodded. "I'm Xu Ning, nice to meet you Uncle Song."
"So you are Xu Ning."
Uncle Song happily walked over.
He walked next to Xu Ning and stood still. He looked at Xu Ning's face. "How old are you?"
"20."
Xu Ning added one extra year.
"20…"
Uncle Song smiled and said, "A twenty-year-old intention realm warrior, quite strong."
"Miss Sister was called away by Father Master just now. It will take roughly half an hour before she will come back."
Uncle Song said.
"Just now we ran into Fourth Young Master. He seemed to be walking towards Father Master's study. Was he called away together with Miss Sister?"
Xiao Die said.
"Perhaps…"
Uncle Song stroked his gray beard. "At this point in time, the patriarch is gradually focusing on his martial arts practice, hoping to become a void realm martial artist, to escape from Feng family's control."
"The day when he steps down as the head of the household and hands over the power to either Fourth Young Master or Miss Sister is getting closer."
Although Uncle Song was answering Xiao Die, he kept looking at Xu Ning.
"Xu Ning, I heard that you are a very capable young man. Would you like to spar with this old man?"
Uncle Song took the initiative to ask.
Xu Ning naturally understood what Uncle Song meant by his words.
It was normal for a newcomer to be tested by the elderly.
"Uncle Song, please go easy on me."
Xu Ning cupped his fists.
Xiao Die also knew of Song Uncle's intentions, so she took the initiative to distance herself from them.
There was a lot of space in the yard, so when the two fought against each other, they could move around freely.
The working maids also went to the corner and put down their brooms. They had curious looks on their faces.
On weekdays, they couldn't enter or leave the Feng mansion at will, so life was very boring.
"I heard Miss Sister said that you have practiced a void realm secret technique?"
Uncle Song stood still and asked softly.
"Yes."
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
"Then start with your void realm secret technique."
Uncle Song said.
Xu Ning looked at Uncle Song.
Uncle Song was very strong.
Xu Ning was certain that he was in the mortal realm ninth stage.
"Thank you, Uncle Song."
Xu Ning knew that if he exerted his full strength, Uncle Song would definitely not be worthy as his opponent.
But on the surface, he was just an intention realm artist who had just practiced a void realm secret technique.
Xu Ning took the initiative to attack. He simply used a Tidal Fist Punch One, hitting Uncle Song's chest.
When Uncle Song saw Xu Ning's punch, his eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
Facing Xu Ning's violent blow, Uncle Song didn't panic at all. He just reached out a finger and tapped Xu Ning's fist.
Xu Ning suddenly felt a violent force in his bones.
Immediately after, his forearm bounced away.
'A void realm secret technique!'
Xu Ning's pupils shrank.
The power from Uncle Song's finger just now was outside the realm of possibility for a mortal realm external skill.
'The Feng mansion is full of masters.'
"Continue."
Uncle Song gestured.
Xu Ning understood Uncle Song's strength, so he no longer held back.
Xu Ning attacked again, throwing out a double strength punch.
Uncle Song clearly felt the pressure.
He moved fiercely. With his fingertips that were accompanied by a spiral piercing force, he tapped on Xu Ning's fist.
The force of the contact pushed the two of them away from each other.
"Enough."
Uncle Song smiled happily. "You are quite strong, you live up to your reputation."
After hearing Uncle Song praise Xu Ning, Xiao Die and the maids kept looking at Xu Ning with admiration.
Although Uncle Song was friendly, as the maids of Miss San's household, they had never seen him admire any newcomer this much.
"Xiao Die, when you arrange accommodation for Xu Ning later, remember to arrange a separate villa."
Uncle Song turned his head and said to Xiaodie.
"Understood, Uncle Song."
Xiao Die agreed, and at the same time, she realized that Uncle Song valued Xu Ning very highly.
There were very few outsiders who could get a separate villa in the Feng mansion. In Miss Feng San's courtyard, only Uncle Song and Auntie Wei could get this treatment.
For the other people in the courtyard, even if they had the qualifications, they would only live in a single room in the backyard. Xu Ning was the first one to live in a separate villa like this.
"Xiao Die, go and arrange it."
After Uncle Song finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ning again. "Come in, let's talk as we wait for Miss Sister."
…
Inside the study of Feng Qizhi, the head of the Feng family.
Inside the study, the shelves were full of books, and the walls were full of famous calligraphy and paintings.
Feng Qizhi sat at the desk, looking at two dutiful children.
"Sit down."
Feng Qizhi waved his hand to let Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi sit down.
"Yes, Dad."
Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi looked at each other with an unfriendly look.
The two of them were each other's biggest opponent.
After seeing the brother and sister act like this, Feng Qizhi sighed in his heart.
The two were not in harmony, Feng Qizhi was aware of this.
The reason for this was to gain authority in the Feng family.
Feng Qizhi felt a little regretful about this, but he did not have a choice.
This kind of contention between relatives annoyed Feng Qizhi a lot.
He had been the head of the Feng family for twenty years.
In the public's perspective, he was extremely respected, highly regarded by the Yuelan Sect, and a tycoon of Chun Rin Canton. However, Feng Qizhi knew that this was not what he wanted.
Ever since the beginning, his goal was to pursue martial arts.
When he was young, Feng Qizhi hoped to be able to enter the Yuelan Sect and become an official disciple.
However, because of his insufficient talent, Feng Qizhi's eldest brother entered the Yuelan Sect instead, while he was forcibly appointed as the head of the family by his father.
The past two decades of work had delayed Feng Qizhi's martial arts practice.
Now that his son and daughter had grown up, Feng Qizhi was ready to move on from leading the Feng family, and was ready to practice martial arts.
Choosing between Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi was one of his final decisions.
"I asked you two to come here because I have something for you to do."
Feng Qizhi's eyes swept across the faces of Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi.
"Father, please speak."
The two said at the same time.
Feng Qizhi said, "The first thing is about the dan medicine business. You all know that our Feng family's dan business started relatively late, so it's not comparable to the Xiao family and the Ye family. However, it is still a very lucrative industry, so the Feng family can't give it up."
"Recently, I invited a group of alchemy masters to refine dan medicines for our Feng family. This batch of dan medicine is of high quality. It will be our stepping stone to take over the dan medicine market."
"You two, use this batch of dan medicine to find a way to open up more sales channels, whether it's in Chun Rin Canton or other canton cities."
"You guys should do this together. Try to work together, do you understand what I mean?"
Feng Qizhi's words made Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi's hearts skip a beat.
They understood Feng Qizhi's intentions.
This was part of their final test before Feng Qizhi's resignation!
"Understood."
The two responded at the same time.
Feng Qizhi nodded. "The second thing is that there was news from the Yuelan Sect. In four months, they will hold a demon slaying trial, so we need to provide the Yuelan Sect with demon beasts."
"In the past, we all went to Chuanhe Mountain to capture the live demon beasts, then transferred them to the Yuelan Sect. We will do the same this year. You guys will handle this matter."
"In a few days, you two will also send your people to Chuanhe Mountain to capture the live demon beasts. At the same time, I will send a transfer team to wait outside Chuanhe Mountain. Deliver the captured live demon beasts to the team, and they'll send it to Yuelan Sect."
"Remember, you must capture live demon beasts. The stronger the better, and the more the better, understood?"
"Understood!"
Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi had already concluded that this was Feng Qizhi's final test for them.
Opening sales channels for dan medicine was a test of their business acumen.
Capturing live demon beasts seemed to be a test of their martial artists strength, but it actually depended on their ability to gather and employ people.
If they did a good job, they would gain the qualifications to become the head of the family.
"Chengyu, Haoqi…"
Feng Qizhi suddenly lowered his voice. "Behave well. After all, managing a family is not easy."
"Okay, now go do your own work."
After seeing the excitement of the two children, Feng Qizhi felt a little bored.
Feng Chengyu and Feng Haoqi went outside together.
They didn't even bid farewell to each other before they went their separate ways.
'The head of the family!'
Feng Chengyu held a strong desire in her heart.
'I must defeat Feng Haoqi.'
…
"Miss San is back!"
As Xu Ning was talking to Uncle Song, he suddenly heard Xiao Die's voice.
"Come, let's go see Miss San."
Xu Ning and Uncle Song went out together.
"Xu Ning, you are here!"
Feng Chengyu smiled when she saw Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was here at the perfect time.
In Feng Chengyu's opinion, although Xu Ning was only in the intention realm, he was successful in practicing a void realm secret technique, which made him comparable to a spirit realm martial artist.
This was why Feng Chengyu wanted to hire Xu Ning.
The combat power of a martial artist in the spirit realm was extremely important at this moment.
"Go and tell Auntie Wei to come over."
After Feng Chengyu and Xu Ning greeted each other, Feng Chengyu spoke to the yard protector.
"When Auntie Wei comes, we'll talk in detail."
Feng Chengyu said to Uncle Song and Xu Ning.
After a while, Auntie Wei entered Feng Chengyu's study.
She was a woman who seemed to be nearly forty years old. She was wearing a battle outfit with her long hair tied in a hairpin. There were some wrinkles on her face, but she still exuded a mature charm.
"Miss San, you called for me?"
After Auntie Wei walked into Feng Chengyu's study, she saw Uncle Song and an unfamiliar young man sitting there.
"This is Xu Ning."
"And this is Auntie Wei."
Feng Chengyu took the initiative to introduce the two to each other.
"Xu Ning?"
Auntie Wei had heard Feng Chengyu mention Xu Ning's name a long time ago.
She took a look at Xu Ning. She then noticed that Uncle Song was giving her a look of confirmation.
With that look, Auntie Wei knew that Xu Ning had already passed Uncle Song's test.
Xu Ning already knew of Auntie Wei.
She was Feng Chengyu's subordinate. Besides Uncle Song, she was the only martial artist in the spirit realm who was highly regarded by Feng Chengyu.
"Uncle Song, Auntie Wei, Xu Ning…"
After Feng Chengyu saw her three most powerful warriors here, she said, "My father is going to delegate his power and determine the family heir!"
Feng Chengyu told everyone what she had heard in the study.
Uncle Song and Auntie Wei were very excited after hearing this.
They had been following Feng Chengyu for a long time, so they wanted Feng Chengyu to lead the family.
Once Feng Chengyu became the head of the family, she could control the resources of the entire family.
As her subordinates, they would surely be able to receive rich benefits. Not only could they obtain a large amount of martial arts resources, they could also help their own families, completely changing their family status.
This was why they had been working under Feng Chengyu.
Although Feng Chengyu was weak in martial arts, she was a daughter of the Feng family, which in turn meant that she had unlimited potential.
When Feng Chengyu saw that Uncle Song and Auntie Wei were excited, she seized the opportunity to speak, "I will definitely not be able to do these two tasks alone, so I have to rely on the help of you three. If we are successful, you all will definitely be rewarded."
She wanted to make a promise to make the three of them feel at ease.
"Xu Ning."
Feng Chengyu looked at Xu Ning.
She knew that Auntie Wei and Uncle Song's wishes were mainly to help their own family, but Xu Ning was different.
"Xu Ning, if I can become the head of the Feng family, I can directly recommend you to the Yuelan Sect. With your qualifications, you will definitely become an inner disciple, and even have the opportunity to be selected as a top-tier talent!"
Fearing that Xu Ning did not understand her kindness, Feng Chengyu emphasized, "In State Jifeng, the situation is quite chaotic. In order to ensure the stability and purity of factions, top factions recruit their disciples not only based on qualifications, but also on talent."
"If you go to Yuelan Sect alone, you will only be an outer disciple, and you will just receive a lower grade void realm secret scroll. But if I recommend you, you will become an inner disciple or even a core disciple. At that point, you will have the opportunity to obtain a high quality void realm secret scroll!"
"You surely know that the quality of the void realm secret scroll will directly determine your upper limit."
Feng Chengyu said, "So please help me!"

Chapter 113: Casually Capturing A Void Realm Demon Beast?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Ning had to admit that Feng Chengyu's words were very enticing.
A high quality void realm secret scroll was indeed what Xu Ning cared about the most.
If everything went according to Feng Chengyu's plan, he could obtain a void realm secret scroll in a few months.
In a few months, he was likely to be at least an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect.
The quality of the void realm secret scroll that he could obtain was even better than what he would receive from the Source Sect.
"We must help each other with all our strength."
Now that Xu Ning had already decided to come here, he was prepared to do what it took.
He just so happened to be involved in a family battle, and if they succeeded, this would also accelerate Xu Ning's progress.
"Miss, what do you plan to do next?"
Auntie Wei asked.
"These two tasks must be carried out at the same time, so the people under my command must be split into two groups."
Feng Chengyu's plan was clear. In fact, she had already thought about it on the way back from her father's study
"Opening up the sales channels for dan medicines, I can actually do that alone." Feng Chengyu said, "However, in order to deal with some emergencies and for the sake of stability, I still plan to keep Uncle Song by my side."
"As for capturing live demon beasts, Auntie Wei and Xu Ning will do it. I will allocate a hundred warriors, and you two will go together. Auntie Wei is experienced in such a task before, so she will be the leader."
Feng Chengyu expressed her plans in a few words.
"Do you think my plan is feasible?"
Auntie Wei and Uncle Song glanced at each other, then they both nodded.
Xu Ning also had no questions, so he nodded as well.
"In that case, thank you all in advance."
The rough plan was in place, and Feng Chengyu had a look of ambition in her eyes.
…
A few days later.
Chuanhe Mountain.
In front of a cave nest.
A black tiger that had a fierce face let out a thunderous roar.
Several people surrounded it, ready to besiege it at any moment.
The black tiger cautiously stared at the uninvited guests in front of it. It obviously wanted to kill them.
But because it sensed danger from these people, it just stood its ground.
"Are we taking action?"
One of the members asked his teammates around him.
"Stabilize it first!"
Another person said, "This demon beast is a high level mortal realm beast. We will struggle dealing with it. When Leader Xu arrives, we'll let him deal with this black tiger!"
These people were part of the team sent by Feng Chengyu to capture the live demon beast.
They had been with Feng Haoqi's people in Chuanhe Mountain for two days.
They had a clear division of labor during this time period.
The weaker ones were responsible for searching for demon beasts, or catching weak demon beasts.
The stronger ones were responsible for capturing even more powerful monsters.
Auntie Wei had skillfully managed the team.
"Leader Xu is here!"
They suddenly saw a figure coming from the distance.
Xu Ning was wearing a black battle outfit. There was a thick chain between his chest and back.
"Leader Xu, this demon beast is a high level mortal realm beast!"
After seeing Xu Ning come over, someone immediately explained the situation.
"Understood."
Over the past three to four days, Xu Ning had become accustomed to fighting demon beasts.
He had also captured a high level demon beast with his own hands.
Demon beasts were different from human beings. They don't have a cultivation system. Basically, their growth could only rely on their innate potential, or just moments of luck, such as stumbling upon spirit medicine.
Because of this, people only had a rough division of demon beasts' strengths.
In the mortal realm, only elementary, intermediate, high, and peak level were used to divide their strengths.
This high level mortal realm demon beast's strength was between a mortal realm seventh stage and a mortal realm eighth stage warrior.
A few people stepped aside, and Xu Ning walked straight over.
When the black tiger saw Xu Ning approaching, its biological instinct told him that this person was very dangerous.
It wanted to escape.
Xu Ning would obviously not let it escape.
Xu Ning used his Step Cloud Wave and caught up with the black tiger in an instant.
He then leaped onto its back and hammered it with both of his fists.
Xu Ning acted with precision. Although it seemed that he was punching fiercely, it would not cause much injury to the animal; it would only cause short-term minor injuries.
The black tiger was in pain. It wanted to fight back, but it was unable to move.
Seeing that the time was right, Xu Ning pulled off the chain on his body. After that, he immediately wrapped it around the black tiger's neck.
Afterwards, Xu Ning jumped off the black tiger and tied the iron chain around the black tiger's limbs.
Finally, Xu Ning pulled backwards and the black tiger fell on the ground.
It was tightly trapped by the chain, unable to move. It could only roar helplessly.
"Send it to the transfer team!"
After Xu Ning captured the black tiger, he instructed the hunting team nearby.
"Leader Xu is outstanding!"
After seeing Xu Ning easily capture the black tiger, all of them were amazed.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning had used his own strength to impress everyone in the hunting team.
"Our speed in capturing demon beasts is much faster than that of Fourth Young Master's team."
One of them said with a smile.
Since they were hired by Feng Chengyu, they all received benefits.
If they won the competition in capturing demon beasts, then Feng Chengyu would give them generous rewards.
So everyone was happy to see another high level demon beast captured.
Xu Ning didn't make a big deal about this.
Judging from their short-term performance over the past few days, his hunting team was obviously much faster.
This was not only due to the powerful strength of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei, but also due to Auntie Wei's delegation skills.
"Go deliver this demon beast first, I'll go look around."
After Xu Ning sent away the team, he walked deeper into Chuanhe Mountain.
The environment of Chuanhe Mountain was very similar to Yunze Mountains. Xu Ning felt like he had returned to the Tao Village.
When he first came to this world, he gathered medicine in the mountains to make a living.
"A spirit medicine."
After taking two steps, Xu Ning saw a flower-shaped spirit medicine swaying in the wind on the side of the mountain.
Xu Ning quickly grabbed it.
—
3 units discovered energy, absorb?
Yes/No
—
"Yes."
Xu Ning quickly accepted these 3 units of energy.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning's energy harvest had reached nearly 20 points.
Although it wasn't a ton, this kind of energy was readily available, and he wouldn't let it go to waste.
'Apparently, the Yuelan Sect's demon slaying trial is in four months, but they only gave us one month to capture the demon beasts. If that's the case, the transfer process must take a long time.'
'I will probably have to stay in the Chuanhe Mountains for more than 20 days. By the time I leave, I might even collect 100 units of energy in total.'
With Xu Ning's current strength, as long as he didn't enter the core area of Chuanhe Mountain, it was difficult for creatures to pose a threat to him.
So while walking in Chuanhe Mountain, Xu Ning was not worried about his own safety.
"What?"
When Xu Ning walked past a tall tree, he suddenly heard the sound of a young beast above his head.
He looked up subconsciously.
A black shadow suddenly fell down from the tree.
Xu Ning instinctively stepped back, but he then reached out and grabbed it, only to see a small furry thing between his palms.
'What is this?'
Xu Ning felt the little furry thing twisting its body.
Xu Ning didn't hold it tightly, so the little thing rolled in Xu Ning's hands.
After it was done rolling around, Xu Ning was finally able to clearly look at it.
"A kitten?"
This little thing was covered in gray hair. It looked like a kitten.
Xu Ning felt a little confused.
He was in a relatively deep area in Chuanhe Mountain, and the environment here was relatively harsh.
The rabbits and wild cats that were on the outskirts of the mountain couldn't survive here.
"Is this really a cat?"
Xu Ning looked at the kitten carefully.
The kitten was not afraid at all. Its big blue eyes stared at Xu Ning.
It took the initiative to inch forward, sticking out its little tongue and licking Xu Ning's nose.
'It really does seem like a kitten.'
Xu Ning could not perceive the aura of a demon beast from the kitten.
'Strange…'
Xu Ning wiped the kitten's saliva off his nose.
Xu Ning pondered for a moment. He then squeezed the kitten tightly and used his Step Cloud Wave to climb up the tree.
He looked carefully around the tree, but he did not see a big cat.
It seemed like this kitten was living independently in the dense forest.
'Whatever…'
Xu Ning was too lazy to figure it out.
He tapped the grayish-white kitten's head. "Fortunately, you met me."
Perhaps moved by those marble eyes, Xu Ning did not intend to leave the kitten behind.
The kitten was not big, so he could carry it in his pocket.
Xu Ning was going to raise it for a period of time before returning it to the outskirts of Chuanhe Mountain.
Xu Ning stuffed the kitten into his front shirt pocket. The kitten was very cooperative. After getting inside, it poked out its head.
It looked up and stared at Xu Ning.
It could only see Xu Ning's chin at this angle.
After seeing the kitten, Xu Ning laughed.
Roar!
Xu Ning suddenly heard a muffled roar from a distance.
"A high level demon beast"
Xu Ning instantly knew that there was a high level mortal realm demon beast nearby.
'It's uncommon to encounter two high-level monsters in one day.'
For the two hunting teams competing with each other, the more high level monsters they could capture, the greater their advantages were.
With this, Xu Ning himself had gotten one step closer to a void realm secret scroll.
Almost without hesitation, Xu Ning rushed towards the direction of the beast roar.
Xu Ning concluded that the roar of the beast just now should be from a high level demon beast establishing its territory to low level demon beasts.
The stronger the demon beast, the more they preferred to live alone, and the stronger their desire for territory was.
Sure enough, after Xu Ning walked a few hundred meters, he saw a giant bear tearing apart its prey.
It must have found a meal while expelling the low-level demon beasts out of its territory.
The giant bear did not sense Xu Ning's approach at all.
'Its body is so big. It will be very troublesome to drag it back.'
But even so, Xu Ning did not intend to let it go.
Xu Ning lurked in the trees, hiding his aura, ready to attack.
"Purr."
However, the kitten in Xu Ning's pocket suddenly purred towards the giant bear.
Its voice was very soft, but as a high level demon beast, the giant bear still noticed it.
It raised its head and looked in the direction of the sound.
"You little…"
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Xu Ning wanted to go down the tree and prepare to capture the giant bear.
However, the kitten's movements turned out to be much faster than Xu Ning.
Xu Ning felt something pounce against his chest. The kitten that seemed harmless suddenly turned into a silver shadow, jumping out of Xu Ning's chest and appearing directly in front of the giant bear instantaneously.
When the giant bear saw a small thing suddenly appear in front of it, it was frightened and jumped back. It then roared with its sharp teeth, waved its giant claws, and was about to slap the kitten into meat mince.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ning saw something that shocked him.
The head of the palm-sized kitten quickly grew into several meters in diameter, like a balloon being pumped with air.
It suddenly opened its mouth, stretched its neck, and swallowed the giant bear in one bite.
Afterwards, its big head shrank, turning back to its original form.
Xu Ning was baffled.
Suddenly, he felt his body tense up.
He didn't expect that the little thing in his hands would be so powerful.
Xu Ning only had one thought in his mind and that was to escape!
Almost without hesitation, Xu Ning reacted instantly.
He just wanted to get away from this little thing as far as possible.
It just swallowed a high level mortal realm demon beast, yet Xu Ning couldn't sense its aura.
Xu Ning even suspected that this little thing that looked like a kitten might be a void realm demon beast!
However, Xu Ning suddenly stopped moving.
This was because the fluffy kitten was already lying on his shoulders.
Xu Ning felt his body go cold.
Xu Ning could see the kitten sticking out its tongue again and licking his face.
When the kitten previously licked him, Xu Ning thought it was playing with him.
But now, Xu Ning felt like the kitten was just getting a taste of him.
However, Xu Ning's worries were superfluous, as the kitten didn't seem to want to hurt him.
After licking Xu Ning's cheek, the kitten climbed over Xu Ning's shoulder and crawled back into Xu Ning's chest pocket.
It poked its head out again.
Burp!
The kitten seemed to hiccup.
Xu Ning looked down and stared at the big, round blue eyes again.
Xu Ning didn't even know what he should do next.
'I found a void realm demon beast in the mountains?'

Chapter 114: Gray
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Ning felt like he was in big trouble.
But it seemed like this kitten, who was suspected of being a void realm demon beast, did not seem to be malicious.
But he wasn't sure. At any moment, this little guy could just suddenly attack and swallow him.
Even though he was invincible among mortal realm martial artists, he could not compare to this suspected void realm demon beast.
One man, one kitten, they looked at each other like this.
'I better get rid of it.'
Xu Ning wanted to try getting rid of it.
He carefully took the kitten out of his pockets and grabbed it with both hands.
Then, he gently placed it on the ground.
The kitten did not resist.
Xu Ning felt relieved and turned around to move.
But after taking two steps, Xu Ning felt something on his shoulders again.
Xu Ning had concluded that the kitten was becoming attached to him.
"You, are you going to follow me?"
Xu Ning tilted his head slightly and tried to communicate with the kitten.
Generally speaking, the intelligence of void realm demon beasts was almost comparable to that of human beings.
But he didn't know if this kitten was naturally small, or was only born recently.
If it was the latter, it would have never been in contact with humans and it certainly couldn't understand Xu Ning's words.
"Purr."
There was a sound from the cat's throat, not a meow.
It kept rubbing Xu Ning's ears with its furry face.
'It seems to understand what I'm saying.'
Seeing this, Xu Ning started to understand.
It was a good thing to be able to communicate.
"Then I'll take you with me."
Xu Ning was overwhelmed.
In fact, he really didn't have the courage to disobey this monster that he suspected of being in the void realm.
As a result, Xu Ning stuffed it into his pockets again and rushed to the camp where he was temporarily stationed.
…
A few days went by.
At the camp accommodation.
After the entire hunting team had been working for a whole day, the sky was getting dark.
The hunters dragged their exhausted and even wounded bodies to rest in the camp.
However, although physically exhausted, everyone's mental state was good.
This was because compared to Feng Haoqi's hunting team, their quantity and quality of the demon beasts they had captured were obviously superior.
The hunting team sat together in groups by the bonfire, grilling meats on the wooden fire rack.
Xu Ning and Auntie Wei sat opposite each other. A greasy deer leg was roasting on the wooden frame between them.
Both of them were the leaders of the hunting team, but Auntie Wei took care of the internal affairs.
"Leader Xu, I'm really jealous of you. You are young and talented. You might even become a disciple of the Yuelan Sect in the future."
Auntie Wei tore a piece of meat and handed it to Xu Ning. "As for us, our talent has basically dried up, even if we receive more resources, we can only rely on luck to improve further."
Over the past few days, Xu Ning's success rate in capturing high level demon beasts was 100%.
As long as Xu Ning found a demon beast, he would definitely be able to capture it.
The difficulty of capturing a live monster was much harder than directly killing it.
"Life works in mysterious ways." Xu Ning's mouth was covered in grease. "If Miss San successfully takes over as the family head and gives you the void realm secret scroll, you will soon be able to successfully practice it and become a void realm martial artist."
Auntie Wei smiled.
In fact, Auntie Wei gave up on pursuing martial arts a long time ago.
What she was doing now was more for her family.
After some chatting by the bonfire, the large deer leg was eaten cleanly by the two.
There were some scraps left, so Auntie Wei just cut it up, wrapped it in a leaf, and handed it to Xu Ning.
"Give it to your kitten."
A few days ago, Auntie Wei had heard that Xu Ning had brought a kitten back to the camp.
"Thanks."
Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before taking it.
Afterwards, Xu Ning went back to his tent.
In the hunting team camp, only Xu Ning and Auntie Wei had their own tents.
Xu Ning's tent was spacious. It was comparable to a small room.
As soon as Xu Ning went in, he saw the kitten curling up on his bed.
"Gray."
Xu Ning called out.
Over the past few days, Xu Ning had gotten close to this kitten.
Xu Ning discovered that this little guy didn't wish to hurt him. Even if he accidentally stepped on it, it would only lick its fur without getting angry.
As the relationship got closer, Xu Ning named it Gray.
This was a reflection of its fur color.
After seeing Xu Ning come in, Gray looked up at Xu Ning, walked out of the bed, and rubbed against Xu Ning's foot.
"Do you want to eat this?"
Xu Ning routinely asked.
He knew that there was a high probability that Gray would ignore him.
Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, Gray was not interested in the roasted meat.
Ever since Xu Ning took Gray in, Gray never took the initiative to eat food, but every two days, it would go outside for a short period before returning quietly and staying by his side.
Xu Ning guessed that it went outside to hunt for food.
After a few days of getting along with each other, Xu Ning had gotten used to Gray being around him.
Xu Ning began to feel a hint of joy.
Although he still couldn't make Gray follow his instructions, it would definitely be a good thing to have a void realm demon beast around him.
…
Late at night.
Feng Haoqi's hunting team camp.
Inside a large tent, two people talked under the dim lights.
"What do we do? If this continues, when the one-month period ends, we will definitely not be able to compete against Miss San's people!"
The one talking was a big bearded man, and he looked worried.
Opposite him was a feminine middle-aged man with a kind expression.
Both of them were Feng Haoqi's right-hand men, and both were martial artists in the spirit realm.
"Actually…"
On the feminine man's face, there was a look of worry. "They are indeed very lucky. They ran into so many high level demon beasts, and their capture rate is also so high."
"What do we do? If we lose, even if Fourth Young Master becomes the head of the family in the future, we won't receive any benefits. We might even end up in an unfavorable position."
The bearded man said.
"We have to think of a way…"
The feminine man began to think.
"I heard that the reason why they could capture so many high level demon beasts is because they have a leader named Xu Ning, who is very good at dealing with monsters, and Auntie Wei. That woman also has a lot of techniques. If we…"
There was a fierce look in the bearded man's eyes.
"That's impractical."
The feminine man sneered at the bearded man. "With our strength, how can we be sure that we can beat them?"
"Furthermore, if we really do that, we will definitely get into big trouble. This is something that Family Head Feng pays attention to. If we use this method to gain the advantage, we will inevitably be in trouble afterwards."
The words of the feminine man made the bearded man speechless.
"Then, what should we do? Just sit and wait to die?"
The buff man asked anxiously.
The feminine man thought for a moment, when a hint of insidiousness suddenly appeared on his face.
"We can't just sit and wait to die." The feminine man said, "Although we can't directly harm them, we can do it indirectly."
"Indirectly?"
The bearded man was taken aback.
"When I went deep into the mountain a few days ago, I found a semi void realm demon beast waiting to give birth."
The feminine man said.
"Semi void realm?"
The bearded man raised his eyebrows.
The so-called semi void realm demon beasts were mortal realm demon beasts that had not completely transformed into a void realm demon beast just yet.
Demon beasts were different from human warriors.
There was no concept of semi void realm among human warriors.
Breaking through the void realm was essentially breaking through the barrier of a martial arts system.
One would either break through or fail. This was a binary classification.
But for a mortal realm demon beast transforming into a void realm demon beast, the difference between the two realms was more muddy.
Some of the demon beasts in the mortal realm had already stepped into the mud, but couldn't crawl out of the mud. Those who were stuck in between the void realm and the mortal realm were called semi void realm monsters.
The destructive power of a semi void realm realm demon beast was unmatched even by a spirit realm warrior.
"We only need to secretly buy out their teammates to lure Xu Ning and Auntie Wei into the territory of the semi void realm demon beast."
"Demon beasts that are just about to give birth are very cruel to outsiders who break into their territory."
The feminine man smiled. "With its strength, it can easily get rid of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei."
…
The next day.
Most people in the hunting team had already gone out.
Xu Ning and Auntie Wei were still in the camp.
Except for occasionally going deep into the mountains, they mostly stayed and waited for feedback from the hunters.
"Leader Wei, Leader Xu!"
A member of the hunting team came over. "The hunting team said that a wounded peak level mortal realm demon beast has been found!"
"Are you sure?"
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning asked at the same time.
It was difficult to capture a peak level mortal realm demon beast.
But if the peak level demon beast was injured, it would be much easier to capture it.
If this was true, this would be a rare opportunity.
Their hunting team was already in the lead. If they could catch a live peak level demon beast, they could just declare victory in advance.
"We are sure!"
The hunting team was very excited. "The peak level mortal realm demon beast is located five miles north from the first high level demon beast we captured!"
"Leader Xu…"
Auntie Wei looked at Xu Ning. "This is a rare opportunity. Let's go together and try to take down this peak level demon beast."
"Okay."
Xu Ning responded immediately.
However, Xu Ning did not leave immediately. He first returned to the tent and petted Gray.
Xu Ning didn't plan to bring Gray along, as he was afraid that Gray would eat the peak level demon beast.
If that happened, they would be in big trouble.
Xu Ning and Auntie Wei went to the place where the demon beast was located based on the information reported.
They were in a valley between mountains. When Xu Ning and Auntie Wei arrived, members of the hunting team were already waiting on the hillside.
"Who discovered this wounded peak level mortal realm demon beast first?"
Auntie Wei asked the members of the hunting team.
"It was discovered by Wu Liu."
A hunting team member said, "He said that he was on the mountainside and saw a demon beast covered in scales. The monster had a strong aura, and it is likely a peak level mortal realm beast."
"Wu Liu thought that he was going to die. But the peak level demon beast suddenly let go of Wu Liu and went to the valley below. It was also at this time that Wu Liu discovered that the monster was actually injured."
"Wu Liu quickly told us the news. He told us to stay here before he went to report the news."
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning did not have any doubts about this explanation.
"What about Wu Liu?"
Auntie Wei asked.
"He went back to report the news, but he hasn't come back yet."
Auntie Wei nodded.
She and Xu Ning were much faster. They had already arrived here before the person reporting the news could return.
"Leader Xu, let's go down and have a look."
Auntie Wei was intrigued.
"Okay."
Xu Ning was also quite cooperative.
The two followed the hillside and arrived at the valley.
The environment was wet and muddy in the valley.
"Look at this footprint."
Auntie Wei saw that there was a huge footprint in the mud.
"Wu Liu's information should be reliable. Following this footprint, we should be able to find the injured demon beast."
Auntie Wei seemed rather anxious.
She walked together with Xu Ning, looking for the demon beast by following along the footprints.
"What?"
However, after taking a few steps, Xu Ning suddenly stopped.
Auntie Wei noticed Xu Ning's strange behavior. "What's wrong?"
"Auntie Wei…"
Xu Ning looked back and said, "Someone's there."
"Someone?"
Auntie Wei was taken aback for a moment, then followed Xu Ning's gaze.
She saw that where Xu Ning was looking, there were rocks covered in dense vines.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Xu Ning moved. He used his Step Cloud Wave and quickly rushed over.
Auntie Wei also followed him.
'Xu Ning has sensed people behind the rocks!'
"Sh*t! He noticed us!"
Xu Ning's guess was correct. The bearded man and the feminine man were behind the rocks.
The two of them were hiding here to confirm that Xu Ning and Auntie Wei would take the bait and be torn to pieces by the semi void realm demon beast.
However, just when everything went according to their expectations, Xu Ning noticed them.
All of their plans were now ruined.
"Run! Don't fight him!"
The feminine man said, "If we are caught, this matter will inevitably be exposed, then the two of us will be in big trouble."
"Okay!"
Although the bearded man felt that it was unfortunate, he listened to the words of the feminine man and the two fled quickly up the hillside.
"Want to escape?"
Xu Ning took out the short knife and threw it at the two of them instantly.
The short knife was wrapped in tearing force. It quickly sliced the hamstrings of the bearded man.
In an instant, he stumbled, screamed, and fell down.
After seeing this, the feminine man had no choice but to stop and drag the bearded man.
Soon after, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei caught up to them.
"You two!"
Auntie Wei recognized the two..

"Both of them work for Fourth Young Master! And these two are the leaders of Fourth Young Master's hunting team!"
Auntie Wei said to Xu Ning.
"Fourth Young Master…"
Xu Ning quickly began to think.
Their identities were confirmed, so these two must be their enemies.
Moreover, when they were exposed and saw Auntie Wei and Xu Ning chase after them, they chose to flee immediately. They obviously did not want to meet them.
Their rivals appearing here was definitely suspicious.
"Chuanhe Mountain is huge, and the two of us came here to ambush an injured demon beast, what's the problem?"
The feminine man took the lead to speak, "But you attacked us before we could even chase after the demon beast!"
After hearing this, the bearded man quickly reacted.
"You cut my hamstrings! You obviously want to violate the rules of competition, so you sneakily attacked me. I will definitely report this matter to the Family Head!"
The bearded man tore off his shirt and wrapped it around his legs.
Suddenly, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei fell into a passive state.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning looked at each other.
"According to you, we're the ones in the wrong here?"
Auntie Wei was not convinced. "You were hiding, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to suspect that you were trying to kill us. If we hadn't noticed, you might have succeeded."
"Nonsense!"
The bearded man said, "How could we know that both of you are here? And how could we possibly lead you here?"
After saying this, the bearded man seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he subconsciously glanced at the feminine man.
At the same time, the feminine man also frowned.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning also noticed the subtle change in their expressions at the same time.
"This matter is not over!"
The feminine man was afraid of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei, and he said, "This matter will be settled by the Family Head soon!"
Afterwards, the two of them quickly prepared to leave.
"Stop!"
Auntie Wei noticed something was wrong, so she stopped the two of them.
But at this time, they heard a violent roar coming from the valley.
This roar had a thunderous force, like it could tear people apart.
'This force…'
Xu Ning suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"A void realm demon beast?"
This was Xu Ning's first thought, but he quickly rejected it. 'No, the aura of a void realm demon beast should be stronger, so it should be a semi void realm demon beast!'
"The demon beast is awake, run!"
The bearded man suddenly became impatient.
He was certain that because four high stage mortal realm warriors had appeared on its territory that it felt threatened.
As a demon beast that was about to give birth, it was extremely alert.
After the bearded man said this, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei reacted at the same time.
'These two knew that there was a semi void realm demon beast here!'
He thought back to what the bearded man said just now and he easily inferred that the two of them were trying to bait him.
Xu Ning and Auntie Wei had never seen messenger Wu Liu either.
"You two are plotting against us!"
Auntie Wei was extremely angry.
If it hadn't been the semi void realm demon beast getting closer, Auntie Wei would have already drawn a knife and chopped both of them into pieces.
"Leader Xu, let's go!"
Auntie Wei forced herself to calm down. Knowing that she couldn't waste any more time, she said to Xu Ning, "Once we get away from this semi void realm monster, let's report them and make them pay!"
Auntie Wei grabbed Xu Ning and was about to rush up the hill.
However, the feminine man suddenly waved his forearm, throwing dozens of flying spikes at Xu Ning and Auntie Wei.
Xu Ning suddenly felt warning signs blaring in his head and turned away to avoid the flying spikes.
But because Auntie Wei was too close and that she was not as strong as Xu Ning, she could not react in time.
Several flying spikes hit her back, and its force penetrated into her body.
"What a shame!"
The feminine man looked regretful.
He thought he could kill both of them with a sneak attack.
Auntie Wei and Xu Ning were already suspicious of them. If they were allowed to leave, they would definitely conduct a follow-up investigation.
Thus, the feminine man wanted to kill them immediately.
He just didn't expect that Xu Ning could react in time from such a short distance.
But the feminine man didn't plan to continue firing spikes, as the semi void realm monster was already getting very close.
He grabbed the bearded man. "Go!"
"But we have not killed that kid yet!"
The bearded man said.
"It doesn't matter, let's run for our lives first. Once we get out of this valley, let's ambush him again! Of course, it's best if he gets eaten by the semi void realm monster!"
After that, the feminine man rushed up the hillside with the bearded man.
"Leader!"
Xu Ning reacted the moment Auntie Wei was injured.
After getting injured, Auntie Wei had completely lost consciousness.
He first put his hands around Auntie Wei's wrist and said in relief, "She's still breathing!"
Afterwards, Xu Ning carried Auntie Wei on his back and looked at the two who were fleeing away frantically.
Xu Ning felt a dangerous aura approaching behind him. In an instant, Xu Ning released all of his strength, activating his Step Cloud Wave to chase after the escaping two.
"That kid actually caught up!"
The feminine man looked back.
He saw a terrifying demon beast covered in scales and thorns. It had the shape of a giant crocodile, and it was quickly crawling in the mud.
He then saw Xu Ning carrying Auntie Wei on his back, catching up to them step by step.
"So fast?"
The bearded man also panicked.
With Xu Ning chasing after them, he would obviously also lead the semi void realm demon beast to their direction.
The feminine man turned to face Xu Ning and threw several spikes, but Xu Ning easily dodged them.
Xu Ning had enemies in front and a demon beast behind him, but he did not panic at all.
Although he might not be able to beat the semi void realm demon beast behind him, he could definitely catch up with the two men in front.
Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, he soon caught up with the two of them.
The semi void realm demon beast was close behind him. They were almost out of the valley.
"He has passed us!"
The bearded man was anxious.
The two of them had now become the closest targets for the semi void realm demon beast.
"Damn it!"
The feminine man had already thrown out all of his spikes.
Seeing that the semi void realm demon beast was about to chase up to him, his eyes became fierce and he pushed the bearded man beside him.
"You!"
The bearded man staggered and fell backwards.
The semi void realm demon beast immediately dashed forward. Its giant claws suddenly slashed at him, and its feet stepped on the bearded man.
He didn't even manage to scream. He just instantly turned into a meat pancake.
"How cruel!"
Xu Ning sneered. He had already climbed out of the valley first.
The feminine man relied on the bearded man to gain some time, so he was about to climb out of the valley as well.
But Xu Ning stood on top of the valley, blocking the feminine man.
"You!"
The feminine man noticed this.
He was flanked from both front and back.
Xu Ning had put away the short knife in his hands, but now he drew it out again, directly blocking the path of the feminine man.
The feminine man moved out of the way too slowly, so his shoulder was scratched by the knife, resulting in him losing balance.
The huge scaly demon beast behind him immediately accelerated and slapped him with its claw, turning him into a pool of minced meat.
Xu Ning didn't stay here any longer, and he quickly fled away with Auntie Wei on his back.
Roar!
The semi void realm monster stood in the valley and let out a roar.
But because it was about to give birth, it did not continue to chase him, and it just returned to the valley below.
"I'm safe!"
Xu Ning felt the terrifying aura going further away.
Xu Ning stopped and found a relatively flat piece of land in the mountains, then placed Auntie Wei on the ground.
Xu Ning fumbled around Auntie Wei's pockets.
He found a porcelain bottle.
Xu Ning opened the bottle cork, took out the dan medicine inside and stuffed it into Auntie Wei's mouth. Xu Ning then activated his force and pushed the dan medicine into Auntie Wei's stomach.
It was an Anti-injury Dan.
"The wounds from the spikes have stopped bleeding."
Xu Ning quickly pulled out the spikes from Auntie Wei's back.
"She should live."
Xu Ning felt that Auntie Wei's injury had stabilized.
However, even so, Auntie Wei was unable to regain consciousness because of her injuries.
'Since they both died, we'll easily be able to win the demon beast capture competition.'
Xu Ning had already helped Feng Chengyu win this competition.
Someone would inevitably investigate the deaths of the two later.
But Xu Ning was not afraid at all. As long as he told the truth, he only needed to find the guy named Wu Liu in the follow-up investigation, then hide the fact of him blocking the feminine man from escaping. By doing that, he could disguise himself as the victim.
Even though he was the one that had survived.
Xu Ning carried Auntie Wei on his back again and went back to the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, Xu Ning took the initiative to look for the transfer team and reported what had happened just now.
…
Two days went by.
Chun Rin Canton.
Feng Mansion.
Feng Qizhi, the current head of the family, read the letter from Chuanhe Mountain.
The letter gave a detailed description of the conflict and competition between the Feng Chengyu's camp and the Feng Haoqi's camp.
"This kid Haoqi…"
Feng Qizhi suddenly sighed. "Still too far behind Chengyu."
'Whether it is about hiring people or managing operations, the two are not comparable at all.'
Although the assessment had only gone on for half a month, Feng Qizhi already had some thoughts about the candidate for the next family head.
In terms of the dan medicine business, in only half a month, Feng Chengyu had opened up the channels of two canton cities and prefectures. Moreover, within Chun Rin Canton, she had reached some kind of agreement with the Xiao family and the Ye family, allowing the Feng family's dan medicine to be sold through the Xiao and Ye family's channels.
This showed that Feng Chengyu had already made the connections before the assessment.
On the other hand, Feng Haoqi did not accomplish anything during this half month period. He was even rejected by the people of the Xiao family and Ye family, bringing huge shame to his name.
In addition to that, Feng Haoqi was completely defeated in the competition in capturing demon beasts in Chuanhe Mountain.
His subordinates even harbored evil intentions. In the end, they were defeated by their own cleverness and lost their lives.
In Feng Qizhi's opinion, Feng Haoqi was incompetent.
In fact, from the very beginning, Feng Qizhi wanted to pass on the position of family head to Feng Haoqi.
It's not that he had a preference for Feng Haoqi, it's just that he preferred to have a male family head.
As long as Feng Haoqi had the upper hand in the competitions, he would pass the position of family head to Feng Haoqi.
However, soon after the assessment began, Feng Haoqi was completely defeated, and he was surpassed by Feng Chengyu with no power to fight back.
This made Feng Qizhi extremely disappointed.
'It's a good thing to pass on the position of family head to Chengyu.'
Feng Qizhi thought back to Feng Chengyu's growth.
His own daughter had been extremely strong ever since she was a child. She was also very competitive.
She didn't love martial arts, but she was obsessed with family power.
Feng Qizhi suddenly felt that handing the family to Feng Chengyu was a good choice.
After Feng Qizhi learned of what happened in Chuanhe Mountain, Feng Chengyu also heard of the news.
She also received a letter.
"Miss Sister, what's the situation with Xu Ning and Auntie Wei?"
Uncle Song stood by Feng Chengyu. After he waited for her to finish reading the letter, he asked.
Feng Chengyu looked at Uncle Song and smiled. "Uncle Song, the situation is looking good!"
"Really?"
Uncle Song showed a look of surprise.
He took the letter and read it quickly.
"Miss Sister's vision is really amazing!"
Uncle Song said, "This Xu Ning not only killed the person who set up the trap, but also saved Auntie Wei!"
"Xu Ning really exceeded my expectations."
Feng Chengyu did not hide her appreciation for Xu Ning. "Not only is he talented, he also has a sense of reason in him. When he is sent to the Yuelan Sect in the future, we have to maintain a good relationship with him. I think he is very likely to become a high-level member of the Yuelan Sect, at the very least a deacon!"
Uncle Song didn't expect Feng Chengyu to be so optimistic about Xu Ning.
If Xu Ning could really become a deacon of the Yuelan Sect after Feng Chengyu was in charge, then with the help of Xu Ning's power, Feng Chengyu could even completely take back power from the family clan elders.
"Let's wait for the news, I understand that my father must be extremely disappointed with Feng Haoqi at this moment."
Feng Chengyu was confident. "In at most ten days, I'm sure my father will make me the family head!"
"Congratulations, Miss!"
Uncle Song smiled.
If Feng Chengyu became the family head of the Feng mansion, then he would also be the right-hand man of the new Feng Family Head.
The foundation and strength of the family would inevitably rise to a higher level.
Feng Chengyu was also very happy when she heard this.
She sacrificed her youth as a woman, and after more than ten years of hard work, she had finally begun to see a return.
Ten days went by.
Just like Feng Chengyu expected, Feng Qizhi didn't have much patience to wait for a few months. He just directly announced that he would hand over the control of the family to Feng Chengyu's hands.
Feng Chengyu thus became the new female head of the Feng family.
More than ten days later, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei returned back to the city.
Feng Chengyu went to Xu Ning personally after going through the family affairs.
She not only fulfilled the promise of recommending Xu Ning to the Yuelan Sect, but also prepared a gift for Xu Ning..

Feng Chengyu's study.
"Xu Ning."
This was the first meeting between Feng Chengyu and Xu Ning after Feng Chengyu became the head of the Feng family.
As the female head of the Feng family, Feng Chengyu was now full of confidence.
"Family Head Feng."
Xu Ning called her by her new title.
"This was all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been appointed as the family head so quickly."
Feng Chengyu said, "Moreover, you saved Auntie Wei. Auntie Wei will remember this kindness, and I will also remember it."
"Xu Ning, I promised you before that I would recommend you to the Yuelan Sect. Now the time has come."
Feng Chengyu chose to fulfill her promise. "As a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect, we have a spot for the promotion of an outer disciple to an inner disciple every five years."
"Now, I will recommend you to be an inner disciple."
Feng Chengyu said.
After Xu Ning heard the words, there was a glimmer of splendor in his eyes.
As long as he entered the Yuelan Sect, he could obtain a void realm secret scroll and become a void realm martial artist.
"Actually, it is not accurate to say that there's a spot for an inner disciple."
Feng Chengyu explained, "After entering the Yuelan Sect, those who are recommended as inner disciples will be selected by the elders of the faction. If they are accepted as disciples by the elders of the faction, they will become a core disciple."
"But whether you can be selected by the elders in the faction is up to you. I can't help you with that."
Feng Chengyu's tone was even apologetic.
"Family Head Feng, you already gave me the spot of an inner disciple. I'm already very satisfied."
Xu Ning expressed his gratitude.
Uncle Song on the side had a big smile on his face. He interrupted the conversation and said, "Xu Ning, this inner disciple position was given to you by the Family Head. Those clan elders were not willing to give this spot to someone outside the Feng family."
"Uncle Song."
Before Uncle Song could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Chengyu. "There is no need to mention this."
"My apologies."
Uncle Song apologized.
He knew well that it was inappropriate for Feng Chengyu to say these things, so he said them in her stead.
Xu Ning understood what Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song were implying, so he thanked them again.
"Also…"
Feng Chengyu said, "As far as I know, the environment inside the faction will be very different from the outside."
"For example, concerning currency, the Yuelan Sect does not recognize gold and silver. It only recognizes Pure Source Pills. Without Pure Source Pills, it will be difficult to survive in the faction."
Feng Chengyu said, "I have bought the shares of your Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, and the total of those shares amounted to 3000 taels of gold. I will exchange all of them into Pure Source Pills and give them to you."
With that said, Uncle Song removed a large wooden box from the cabinet behind him, opened it, and gave it to Xu Ning.
The box was neat and tidy, and there were thirty dans that had clean, pure surfaces.
Xu Ning did not expect Feng Chengyu to be so caring.
Although the value of his shares was high, if he wanted to sell the shares, he would have to sell them at a huge discount. However, Feng Chengyu bought them at the cost price, which was actually a loss for her.
Moreover, she specifically looked for a channel and replaced it with the Pure Source Pills that he needed after stepping into the Yuelan Sect.
This was a kind gesture.
"Thank you Family Head for the Pure Source Pills."
Uncle Song interrupted and "reminded", "Although the Pure Source Pill can be converted into gold, there is no market for it. Obtaining 30 Pure Source Pills is all thanks to the Family Head's hard work."
"Thank you, Family Head Feng."
Xu Ning took the wooden box containing the Pure Source Pills, then touched the surface of it.
—
Discovered energy 100 units, absorb?
Yes/No
—
'The energy of a Pure Source Pill is 100 units?'
Xu Ning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
'This means that I have 3000 units of energy in my hand!'
'Even if I set aside part of it for my expenses in the Yuelan Sect, there is still a lot left for me to absorb.'
'As long as I can obtain a void realm secret scroll, I won't have to worry about the energy needed to advance at all.'
"These are my previous promises to you."
Feng Chengyu not only fulfilled her promise, but also made arrangements for Xu Ning to enter the Yuelan Sect.
"In addition to that, I wanted to give you a gift."
Feng Chengyu said, "This can be regarded as your reward for saving Auntie Wei."
Uncle Song took out a wooden box again.
But this wooden box was much smaller.
Xu Ning took it and saw that there was a book inside.
And the name of the book was called "Flame Breath Bone Sutra".
"This is my Feng family's most precious void realm secret technique, the Flame Breath Bone Sutra."
Feng Chengyu explained to Xu Ning, "According to my elder brother and second brother, after entering the Yuelan Sect, although they would be taught a void realm secret scroll, void realm secret techniques and other resources can only be purchased through Pure Source Pills, or Yuelan Sect contribution points."
"If you just entered the faction, you definitely don't have such resources, so I will give you a void realm secret technique first, so that you can save some trouble in the future."
"A void realm secret technique? Flame Breath Bone Sutra?"
Xu Ning did not expect that Feng Chengyu would give him such a gift.
Feng Chengyu had thoughtfully made all of the preparations necessary for him to enter the Yuelan Sect.
What she had done had obviously exceeded her promises.
"I appreciate Family Head Feng's gesture."
Xu Ning was a smart person. Feng Chengyu's rewards had obviously indicated a desire for friendship.
She wanted to maintain a relationship between the two.
Xu Ning also understood that if he really became a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect, then Feng Chengyu would definitely receive returns in the future.
Her gift was an investment.
"If you go to Yuelan Sect, it is best to leave within half a month."
Feng Chengyu said, "The Yuelan Sect receives new disciples two months before the demon slaying practice session. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year."
"Later, I will give you a steed with the blood of a demon beast. You ride it to the Yuelan Sect, which will take less than a month. And before you leave, I will send someone to give you a certificate to enter the Yuelan Sect."
"Farewell for now, I wonder when we will see each other again."
Suddenly, Feng Chengyu said, "I hope you can become a core disciple and stand firm in the Yuelan Sect."
"I will do my best."
Xu Ning responded.
The two exchanged some small talk. Once that was done, Xu Ning left with Feng Chengyu's gift.
After Xu Ning left, Feng Chengyu stood up and looked respectfully behind the room divider.
Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song then saw a figure slowly walking out.
It was an old man wearing a long gown.
When Xu Ning was in the room just now, Xu Ning didn't notice the existence of this old man at all.
It was not that Xu Ning's perceptive ability was too poor. It was rather because this old man was a void realm warrior in the Feng family.
"Chengyu, you have a good eye."
The old man smiled with satisfaction. "That kid is indeed worthy of friendship."
Feng Chengyu nodded and smiled upon hearing this.
She was very confident with her own vision.
"It's just that Xu Ning is not an intention realm martial artist."
The old man said, "He is in the mortal realm ninth stage: spirit realm."
"Spirit realm?"
Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song were both taken aback.
Neither of them expected Xu Ning to hide his strength.
"So young, yet amazingly talented, and knows to hide his strength."
The old man smiled. "I'm sure that within ten years, he will definitely be a deacon of the Yuelan Sect."
Feng Chengyu did not expect the old man to be so optimistic about Xu Ning.
"You are much better than your father." The old man looked at Feng Chengyu. "I'm relieved the Feng family is in your hands."
…
A few days went by.
State Jifeng.
In the mountain ranges.
Between the mountains, the rocks and trees stood tall.
There were thunderous beast roars from time to time.
Xu Ning rode a tall horse through the mountains.
As long as he crossed this mountain range, he could reach the Yuelan Sect.
"Purr."
Gray's head popped out of Xu Ning's pocket.
Gray was now completely acquainted with Xu Ning.
The two could even make simple conversations. Gray would even follow some of Xu Ning's orders.
"What, hungry?"
After getting along with Gray for so long, Xu Ning had already figured out its habits.
Gray's head nodded a few times, and he climbed out of Xu Ning's pockets.
Xu Ning suddenly heard a few birds above his head.
Xu Ning looked up and saw a few demon beast birds.
They were at most in the mid level mortal realm, but they were very large.
Gray fell to the ground, and its feet bended as it jumped in the air.
Afterwards, it turned into a silver shadow, jumping tens of meters high.
Gray's body hovered in the air, then its head suddenly expanded. After that, it swallowed the several demon beasts into its stomach in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, Gray steadily fell down from mid-air and into Xu Ning's pocket.
"You're such a glutton. What should I do after I bring you into the Yuelan Sect?"
Xu Ning pinched Gray's neck.
After Gray heard this, it stuck out its tongue to lick Xu Ning.
Although he had just swallowed a few demon beast birds, there was no stinky bloody smell in Gray's mouth.
In addition to worrying about Gray's food sources after entering the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning was worried that Gray would be detected by the powerful Yuelan Sect warriors.
Once Gray was found, both he and Gray would be in trouble.
The horse continued to trot as Xu Ning looked at the mountain scenery.
Suddenly, Xu Ning thought of a solution.
"Gray, let's make a deal."
Xu Ning hugged Gray in front of his chest. "I'm afraid that you will be in danger after I enter the Yuelan Sect, so why don't you stay in this mountain range for a while. There is food and water here, and it is very far from the Yuelan Sect. I can also come to see you at any time."
Xu Ning knew that Gray could understand his words.
After Gray heard his words, its two big blue eyes looked around.
After a while, Gray nodded.
Xu Ning smiled. This way, he didn't have to worry about Gray's safety.
"Climb up to that mountain and live there."
Xu Ning pointed to a mountain in the distance. "I will go there and look for you in the future."
This was their agreed upon meeting place.
After hearing this, Gray nodded.
It also waved its paw twice in agreement.
After they walked out of the mountain range, Xu Ning and Gray parted ways.
Gray went directly to the mountain Xu Ning pointed at.
Although they were separating, Xu Ning and Gray had no sad feelings.
The Yuelan Sect was close to here, so as long as Xu Ning wished, he could come and look for Gray at any time.
Feng Chengyu once told Xu Ning that the disciples of the Yuelan Sect, whether they were outer, inner or core disciples, often went out to conduct missions.
When Xu Ning went outside to do tasks, he could pick up Gray.
One reason was to see each other, and the other was to provide security for himself.
Xu Ning had basically concluded that Gray was a void realm demon beast. However, he did not know what level Gray was at, nor why it was so infatuated with him.
'Yuelan Sect, here I come.'
Xu Ning thought about entering the faction and began to look forward to it.
He was about to enter the Source Sect more than half a year ago, and now, he would be joining a different faction.
Xu Ning would be able to reach the Yuelan Sect as long as he walked through this dense forest.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a cold light suddenly burst from the dense forest.
Xu Ning suddenly felt a warning sign blaring in his head and instinctively tilted his head.
The light brushed past Xu Ning's cheek, drawing a line of blood.
'I was ambushed?'
A murderous intent flashed past Xu Ning's eyes.
He rode the horse quickly and chased.
At the same time, the wound on Xu Ning's face began to coagulate, slowly healing itself.
In just a few seconds, the wound disappeared, leaving not a single scar behind.
This was all because of Xu Ning's void realm secret technique, the power of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra!
"You!"
Xu Ning went straight through the forest and found someone hiding behind a big tree looking at him in fear.
"Why did you attack me?"
Xu Ning got off the horse. With a short knife in his hand, he approached the person slowly.
The man was in ragged clothes and had messy hair. Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as Xu Ning.
"It was a mistake!"
After seeing Xu Ning walking towards him with murderous intent, the person quickly explained, "I just heard the sound of a horse behind me, so I thought you were the killer who was chasing after me!"
"The killer chasing after you?"
Xu Ning was suspicious.
He was a newcomer here, so there was no reason for someone to try and assassinate him.
But even so, Xu Ning didn't immediately believe this man's words.
"I am a disciple who is going to enter the Yuelan Sect!"
Seeing that Xu Ning didn't believe his words, the young man took out a cyan plate from his pockets.
'A voucher for admission!'
Xu Ning took a look and recognized it.
This entry certificate plate was exactly the same as his own.
This showed that this young man was the same as him; he was not only a new disciple, but also an inner disciple.
Xu Ning put away his knife.
After seeing Xu Ning back down, the man was relieved.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I really thought the killer was chasing after me."
"Killer?"
Xu Ning cautiously looked at the surroundings, but he couldn't sense any danger.
"I'm also a new disciple of the Yuelan Sect."
Xu Ning revealed his identity..

Chapter 117: Entering The Yuelan Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After looking at the cyan plate in Xu Ning's hand, the young man showed a look of excitement.
"Same team!"
He seemed to be happy to see Xu Ning.
"My name is Gu Qinghe, and I belong to the Gu family from the Gushan Canton."
"Gushan Canton…"
Xu Ning had heard of this place.
Gushan Canton was not far from the Yuelan Sect. If one traveled quickly, one could arrive there in less than ten days.
Gu Qinghe explained, "After I left the city, I was ambushed by an enemy halfway through my journey. However, I was too far away from the Gushan Canton so I couldn't escape back the same way. With no choice, I could only rush all the way here."
"Throughout my journey, I went through hardships and several fierce battles. I almost even died."
Gu Qinghe's words were full of bitterness. "There were originally more than a dozen guards around me, but they were all killed while protecting me."
It seemed that Gu Qinghe had been holding back these words for too long. After Gu Qinghe saw Xu Ning, he blurted everything out.
"My apologies…"
Xu Ning said, "However, enough with the small talk, it is better to enter the faction as soon as possible. If they are still chasing after you, I might be dragged in as well."
Gu Qinghe replied, "You're right."
Gu Qinghe quickly brought out a horse from nearby. Xu Ning noticed that it was not an ordinary horse.
However, the horse's body was covered with wounds, and it seemed to have a sluggish aura.
"Where are you from?"
After getting on the horse, Gu Qinghe asked.
"Chun Rin Canton, Xu Ning."
Xu Ning briefly introduced his identity.
"Out of the three big families in Chun Rin Canton, I remember there is no Xu family, right?"
Gu Qinghe had a casual personality, so he was direct when asking questions.
"No, my spot was given to me by the Feng family."
There was no need to hide this.
Gu Qinghe talked along the way.
If it weren't for his appearance, Xu Ning would not have believed that this guy had just escaped from death.
After half an hour of riding on their horses.
A huge gate appeared in their vision.
The writing on the gate became clearer as they got closer.
Yuelan Sect.
"Finally here."
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe both felt relieved.
After rushing along the way, they finally reached their destination.
From a distance, they could see disciples wearing uniforms stationed at the gate.
Beside the disciples stationed at the gate, there were two giant demon beasts, lying beside the gate. They seemed to be dozing off.
There were also disciples coming in and out of the gate.
"Who wants to enter the Yuelan Sect?"
When Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe approached on their horses, a garrison disciple suddenly blocked them.
"We are new disciples."
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe took out the cyan plates that proved their identity.
The disciple checked their plates, his expression softened.
"Two juniors, in that case, come with me."
After seeing the cyan plates, the disciple immediately changed his attitude.
Anyone with this plate would begin as an inner disciple.
"Thank you brother."
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe thanked him.
"The horses cannot enter the faction."
The disciple reminded.
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe looked at each other, then both dismounted.
"Follow me."
The disciple then began to lead the way.
Obviously, he was responsible for leading newcomers into the faction.
When crossing the gate, Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe passed by the two demon beasts.
The two vicious dog demon beasts opened their eyes at the same time. Their noses twitched a few times, as if they were smelling their aura,
'Void realm demon beasts.'
Xu Ning had already gauged the level of these two gatekeeper demon beasts.
Just now, when the eyes of the two vicious dogs looked at him, he suddenly felt a sense of chilling danger.
The disciple led the two of them and continued walking up the stairs along the mountain.
After taking many steps, they finally reached a flat piece of land.
At this place, there were various buildings, as well as disciples in different uniforms, walking quickly on the streets.
"I will take you to verify your identity first."
The disciple first led the two to a nearby concierge.
He talked with the working disciple inside before taking out a booklet.
"Tell me where you are from, who recommended you, and what is your first and last name."
The disciple opened the booklet.
"My name is Xu Ning, and I was recommended by the Feng family in Chun Rin Canton."
After hearing the words, the disciple searched the booklet and found Xu Ning's name.
Below Xu Ning's name, there was a small portrait of Xu Ning's face, which looked quite similar to Xu Ning's real face.
Both Xu Ning's information and Xu Ning's portrait were prepared by Feng Chengyu and the people that delivered the demon beasts in advance.
The Yuelan Sect was quite strict when it came to verifying their new disciples.
This was to prevent people from ambushing disciples along their journey and pretending to be the disciples themselves.
"Verified."
Afterwards, the disciple confirmed Gu Qinghe's identity.
He was also verified.
"In this case, I will first take you two juniors to the temporary residence."
The disciple said.
"There are still ten days before the elders would start selecting the core disciples."
While leading the way, the disciple explained to the two of them, "For these ten days, you two are still not officially part of the faction."
"If you are selected as core disciples after ten days, then you will follow the elder who selected you to their mountain peak. If you are not selected as core disciples, then you will automatically gain the status of inner disciples."
Additionally, the disciple also explained various precautions the two should take.
Afterwards, they were taken to a residential area.
Inside the area, there were rows of cyan brick houses. They looked quite rustic.
"This is the place where the new disciples live. If there is a wooden sign hanging outside the door, it means that no one is living there yet."
The disciple said, "You can choose the room yourself. The basic daily necessities are included in the room. Over the next ten days, someone will deliver you food everyday. After ten days, someone will take you away for the core disciple selection."
"By the way, remember, do not fight here."
Before the disciple left, he specifically reminded, "If you start a fight, you will be immediately denied entry and be expelled from the faction directly."
Afterwards, the disciple left.
"There are so many rules in a big faction."
Gu Qinghe shook his head and sighed. "Brother Xu, choose a room."
Gu Qinghe was impatient. He wanted to quickly find a place to wash and change his clothes.
"Okay."
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe walked in front of the cyan brick houses.
Xu Ning roughly estimated that there were close to a hundred cyan brick and tiled houses here, of which only a small number of people lived in.
According to what the disciple said just now, these people should all be newcomers with the qualifications of an inner disciple.
"Brother Xu, how about this?"
Gu Qinghe stood still in front of two connected rooms that were empty.
"If we live closer to each other, we can take care of each other."
Gu Qinghe said.
Xu Ning did not object. By staying so close together, he and Gu Qinghe would share one common living room.
After entering the living room, Xu Ning looked around.
The room was not big, but everything was neat.
Xu Ning put the bag he carried with him on the table, then opened it.
In this bag, there were mainly some clothes and a wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was the gift from Feng Chengyu—the Pure Source Pills that had a monetary value in the Yuelan Sect.
There were 30 Pure Source Pills, but Xu Ning had used 15 of them to convert them into 1500 units of energy.
Coupled with Xu Ning's stash from Chuanhe Mountain and the Aura Crystals discharged by the Thousand Source Bug, Xu Ning now had 1650 energy units.
Out of the 1650 units of energy, Xu Ning used 600 of them to raise his Tidal Fist to level three.
After advancing it to level three, when Xu Ning used Tidal Fist, his lethality increased to an even greater extent.
Now, Xu Ning was able to hit quadruple strength punches continuously without the aid of single strength punches and double strength punches.
With this kind of strength, Xu Ning could basically instantly kill someone.
Even in the face of a semi void realm demon beast in the mountains, Xu Ning could try and fight it.
However, after Tidal Fist advanced to level three, Xu Ning discovered a problem, which was that the "" besides Tidal Fist on the Martial Arts Panel had disappeared.
There were nine levels in a void realm secret technique, and his Tidal Fist had only been cultivated to the third level. There was still a long way to go before it was completely cultivated.
Xu Ning knew the reason for this.
This was because, after reaching the fourth level, the void realm secret technique would involve change on the "characteristic" scale, and if he wanted to cultivate his "characteristic", he must reach the void realm first.
This was one of the manifestations of the connection between a void realm secret scroll and a void realm secret technique.
Before Xu Ning became a void realm martial artist, his Tidal Fist was stuck in the third level.
Afterwards, Xu Ning consumed another 1,000 units of energy to raise his Flame Breath Bone Sutra gifted by Feng Chengyu to the third level.
The Flame Breath Bone Sutra was, to a certain extent, a higher level version of the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic.
It was a technique that strengthened the physical body. Once a mortal martial artist turned into a void realm martial artist, their body would undergo a qualitative change.
The strength of their body would also increase by another magnitude.
The Flame Breath Bone Sutra could hammer and strengthen a void realm physical body.
In addition, the Flame Breath Bone Sutra also had the function of healing injuries.
According to the description of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, once one cultivated it to the ninth level, as long as one wasn't killed on the spot, even if one's bones were crushed, one could still recover from the injuries.
Although Xu Ning had only cultivated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the third level, Xu Ning could still quickly heal his injuries.
Xu Ning's face was scratched by Gu Qinghe with a flying knife just before this, which healed within a few seconds. This was the power of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.
After raising the Tidal Fist and Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the third level, Xu Ning only had 50 units of energy left.
Xu Ning began to feel stressed from his energy reserves running low.
"I have to save these 15 Pure Source Pills first. There may be other uses for it in the future."
Xu Ning put away the Pure Source Pills.
He had basically reached his limit in terms of his strength, so he didn't need energy for the time being.
Afterwards, Xu Ning took out his belt and checked the Thousand Source Bug.
After devouring several kinds of ores, it expelled Aura Crystals every few days.
But now, the Thousand Source Bug fell into a state of deep sleep.
The Thousand Source Bug curled up, making its whole body look like a little white ball.
Xu Ning was not worried about this. He actually looked forward to it.
It was because this was the precursor to the metamorphosis of the Thousand Source Bug.
After hatching, the Thousand Source Bug would continue to grow over time and transform again and again.
After each metamorphosis, the Thousand Source Bug would evolve and expel higher-quality Aura Crystals.
The Aura Crystal that the Thousand Source Bug expelled was no longer enough to meet Xu Ning's requirements.
After this metamorphosis, Xu Ning hoped that this Thousand Source Bug would give him a satisfactory result.
After everything was cleaned up, Xu Ning changed his clothes and closed his eyes on the bed to rest.
After he went through that long journey, Xu Ning did feel tired.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Xu Ning actually fell asleep.
Xu Ning woke up after hearing an argument outside.
'Someone seems to be arguing.'
Xu Ning sat up and listened to the argument outside.
"This voice seems to be Gu Qinghe's?"
Xu Ning winced.
He quickly walked out of the living room.
More than ten meters away, Gu Qinghe was having an argument with a handsome young man.
Both of them looked like they could start fighting at any time.
"What is going on?"
Xu Ning couldn't understand the reason why Gu Qinghe, who had just arrived here, would start an argument with others.
If it were not for the restrictions, the two would have definitely started fighting.
Not only was Xu Ning watching them, but there were also people popping out of their living rooms.
However, no one moved forward. They just watched the excitement from far away.
Some of them have been here for more than ten days, so their daily lives were rather very boring. It was rare to see something this exciting, so they all wanted to watch.
Xu Ning thought about it and finally walked towards the two of them.
"Brother Gu, calm down."
Xu Ning walked behind Gu Qinghe and patted him on the shoulder.
Although Gu Qinghe had inadvertently hurt him before, Xu Ning felt that he was a good person, so he was willing to help him.
Xu Ning and the handsome young man on the opposite side looked at each other. He then persuaded Gu Qinghe, "In ten days, there will be a core disciple admission test. If you get into a dispute now, the gain will not be worth the loss."
After Gu Qinghe was convinced by Xu Ning, his anger seemed to have faded.
But he still gritted his teeth and said cruelly to the handsome young man, "Duan Xuefeng, just you wait!"
"What?"
When Xu Ning heard this, he realized that the feud between the two was not recent.
The two of them should be old acquaintances..

Chapter 118: Thousand Source Bug Metamorphosis
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The handsome young man named Duan Xuefeng sneered when he heard the words. "Gu Qinghe, if you really think my Duan family arranged for someone to assassinate you, then you should show some evidence. Otherwise, I won't let you spout this nonsense."
"Now that I have arrived at the Yuelan Sect, your family members can't clean up your mess anymore."
After Duan Xuefeng spoke, he took a long look at Xu Ning before turning around and leaving.
Gu Qinghe clenched his fists. It was obvious that he had a long history with Duan Xuefeng.
Xu Ning patted Gu Qinghe on the shoulder. "Let's go."
Xu Ning could basically guess what the two were fighting over.
Gu Qinghe, who ran for his life just before arriving at the Yuelan Sect, thought the killer who pursued him was this man named Duan Xuefeng.
"Brother Xu, thank you very much."
Gu Qinghe forcibly calmed his mood.
Gu Qinghe had always suspected that the killer was a member of the Duan family, and now that he saw Duan Xuefeng and was provoked by him in every possible way, Gu Qinghe couldn't hold back and almost started fighting him.
If Xu Ning hadn't appeared, maybe Gu Qinghe would have thrown hands.
"The great families in our Gushan Canton are not in harmony."
Gu Qinghe took the initiative to explain to Xu Ning, "Our Gu family and their Duan family have been in conflict. If it weren't for the warnings and rules of the faction, our two families might have already started fighting."
Xu Ning didn't have too many comments to make about this matter. After all, this was a dispute between other people's families.
"Now that we're at the Yuelan Sect, let's concentrate on practicing."
Xu Ning said, "If you can successfully train and gain the status of a deacon in the faction, wouldn't it be easy for you to clean him up then?"
"So, relax, wait for the assessment to come, maintain a good state, and strive to be selected as a core disciple first."
Xu Ning's words made Gu Qinghe feel relieved.
"What you said is extremely true."
Gu Qinghe responded.
…
Ten days went by.
A leading disciple came and called out all the disciples in the residential area before gathering them in an open space.
"Brothers and sisters."
The leading disciple looked at the crowd. "Today is the day for the selection of core disciples. Please be prepared."
After the leading disciple spoke, everyone in the crowd looked full of expectations.
Everyone was well aware of the difference between a core disciple and an inner disciple.
A core disciple had a special mentor, and if one had any doubts, one could personally ask their mentor.
Moreover, the mentors of core disciples were all elders in the faction.
Disciples of faction elders not only had a high status, but they also had easier access to resources.
But inner disciples were different.
The training resources provided to inner disciples were nothing more than a Pure Source Pill every month.
If one wanted to obtain more resources, one could only earn contribution points by completing faction missions.
Moreover, if they had any questions about their martial arts practice, they could only ask the deacons for help once a month, and the effectiveness of doing that was far worse than asking elders.
"Brother Xu, do you think we can become core disciples?"
Gu Qinghe was a little nervous.
"I don't know. Let's just go with whatever happens."
Xu Ning said.
"Brothers and sisters, come with me."
The leading disciple walked out of the residential area with more than 30 people behind him.
After walking for around 15 minutes, they were taken to a garden.
There were pavilions, terraces and gardens everywhere, filled with birds and flowers.
"This is the venue of the assessment?"
Gu Qinghe looked puzzled as he mumbled, "Are we here to enjoy the scenery?"
Xu Ning didn't speak, he instead just looked around.
Suddenly, Xu Ning saw a pool of water not far away from the garden.
And in that pond, there were colorful fish swimming everywhere.
Xu Ning suddenly realized something.
'This… this shouldn't be the spirit fish for testing aptitude, right?'
Xu Ning suddenly remembered that when he first saw Liu Yijian, a martial artist in the void realm, he had seen a similar pond in his yard.
And the fish in his pond seemed to be the same species as the fish in this pond.
'We might be in trouble…'
Xu Ning thought, 'If they are using spirit fish to test our aptitude, my results will be horrible.'
Xu Ning hoped that the colorful swimming fish in the pond were just ordinary fish.
However, the next words from the leading disciple made Xu Ning feel hopeless.
"Brothers and sisters, please stand near the pond."
'I knew it.'
Xu Ning felt regretful.
Xu Ning had concluded that he might not have a chance to be a core disciple anymore.
As the crowd surrounded the pond, the spirit fish seemed to have sensed something. They scattered and swam in the direction of certain disciples.
A few people were bombarded with fish, while most of the crowd had no fish in front of them.
This made Xu Ning breathe a sigh of relief.
Since most people didn't have any spirit fish in front of them, the fact that his own talents were extremely poor would not be noticed.
Otherwise, it didn't make sense how he was so strong with such a poor aptitude.
While the crowd gathered around the pond, several people were watching from the garden loft.
These people were the high-ranking elders in the Yuelan Sect.
"There are very few talents in this year's batch of newcomers."
One of the gray-haired old men expressed his disappointment.
"Actually…"
A beautiful woman also said, "Aptitude is the most important thing in martial arts practice, and this batch of newcomers are indeed very talented. Although there were spirit fish that swam towards some disciples, they are in the minority. Most of the spirit fish are still lazy and don't wish to swim up at all."
"Since you are not satisfied, all of these disciples who are recognized by the spirit fish will belong to me."
A sloppy-looking man suddenly spoke.
"No way!"
The beautiful woman then pointed to a girl in a yellow shirt. "I will accept her as my apprentice, and no one will snatch her from me."
"You stole the most talented one."
The sloppy man said, "Then that person belongs to me."
The rest of the elders also finished selecting their disciples.
In front of the pond.
"Brothers and sisters."
Soon after, someone gave a piece of paper to the leading disciple.
The leading disciple glanced at it before pointing out a few people.
"You have been selected as core disciples!"
'I knew it.'
These words were not directed to Xu Ning nor Gu Qinghe.
But Duan Xuefeng, Gu Qinghe's former rival, was selected.
Xu Ning felt a little unfortunate.
There were too many benefits for being a core disciple. Xu Ning felt rather unfortunate that he lost the selection just like this.
"What?"
As soon as the leading disciple finished talking, people began to discuss.
"Isn't it an assessment? The assessment hasn't even started yet, but it's already over?"
Most of them didn't know that this type of spirit fish could assess their aptitude.
The leading disciple was very patient. It was obvious that this was not the first time this situation had happened.
"Everyone, please stay calm."
The leading disciple said, "In this pond, there are spirit fish that can assess aptitude. Just now when you surrounded the pond, your aptitude was tested."
"Does it just test aptitude?"
One of the disciples that wasn't chosen asked.
"Yes, there is only one test."
The leading disciple said, "If you think this is unfair, you can go to the loft."
The leading disciple pointed in a direction. "The elders are all gathered there at this moment. If you are not satisfied, you can ask the elders. After all, every selected person was picked by the elders personally."
As soon as this remark came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at the loft, but no one dared to complain.
The leading disciple said, "If you are not selected as core disciples, please leave. Someone will arrange for you to enter the inner sect."
"For everyone who has been selected, please follow me. I will take you to see the elders."
"Brother Xu…"
Gu Qinghe had a terrible look on his face.
Neither he nor Xu Ning was chosen as core disciples, but the guy he hated the most was chosen.
Gu Qinghe spoke in a hoarse voice.
"It's fine, just accept reality."
Xu Ning could only comfort him.
"Gu Qinghe."
Duan Xuefeng stepped forward and said with a grin, "Back in Gushan Canton, you were always fighting with me. Now you know the gap between our strengths, right?"
"You!"
Gu Qinghe's teeth rattled.
"When you see me next time, remember to call me Senior Brother."
Afterwards, Duan Xuefeng laughed out loudly and followed the leading disciple to the garden loft.
Gu Qinghe's face was pale. He felt helpless.
The 30 people who were not selected as core disciples all returned to their rooms in low spirits.
Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe walked behind the group.
"Brother Gu."
Xu Ning took the initiative to speak.
Xu Ning wanted to clarify a problem.
"Apparently, core disciples are able to obtain superior-grade void realm secret scrolls, but we inner disciples can only get middle-grade void realm secret scrolls. What is the difference between the two?"
In fact, Xu Ning was most concerned about the quality difference between void realm secret scrolls.
Xu Ning was not jealous of the status of a core disciple. Even though more resources were allocated to them, Xu Ning could obtain resources through other means.
The only thing that worried him was the difference in the quality of void realm secret scrolls.
After being questioned by Xu Ning, Gu Qinghe switched his attention to him.
"Superior-grade void realm secret scrolls and middle-grade void realm secret scrolls are the same for the first six stages."
Gu Qinghe seemed to be knowledgeable about this. He explained, "But starting from the void realm seventh stage, the advancement speed of a middle-grade void realm secret scroll will be significantly slower than a superior-grade void realm secret scroll."
"It's just the advancement speed?"
Xu Ning looked surprised. "The strength and foundation isn't different?"
He remembered that Feng Chengyu said that the difference in quality between void realm secret scrolls would cause a significant difference in the strength of the practitioners.
"Only an inferior-grade void realm secret scroll would cause a practitioner to be weaker than their peers."
Gu Qinghe explained, "It is because inferior-grade void realm secret scrolls have flaws."
"On the other hand, middle-grade and superior-grade void realm secret scrolls are able to construct a complete void realm martial arts system, but a superior-grade void realm secret scroll is much more sophisticated, so in the later stages, its advancement speed will be much faster."
"I see."
Xu Ning's eyes showed a relaxed look.
'So it turns out that the difference between a middle-grade and a superior-grade void realm secret scroll only lies in the speed of advancement.'
The last thing Xu Ning worried about was the speed of advancement!
As long as he had the Martial Arts Panel, whether it was a difficult or a simple advancement, all Xu Ning needed to do was to click the "" sign.
As long as a middle-grade void realm secret scroll didn't have any disadvantages when fighting against their peers, then Xu Ning did not care.
After clarifying the problem, Xu Ning no longer felt unfortunate that he wasn't selected as a core disciple.
Gu Qinghe saw Xu Ning's relaxed expression and asked, "Brother Xu, don't you feel unfortunate that you weren't selected?"
"Of course I feel unfortunate."
Xu Ning smiled. "On the bright side, at least we are still inner disciples. Compared to those outer disciples, we are much better."
"True…"
Gu Qinghe was affected by Xu Ning's optimism, so he felt much better as well.
…
Because the person responsible for taking the crowd to the inner sect had not yet arrived yet, the inner disciples who failed to be selected as core disciples were still in their previous residences.
At night.
Before Xu Ning was about to go to bed, he heard a slight gurgling sound in his belt.
Xu Ning suddenly remembered his Thousand Source Bug was in the process of metamorphosis.
He quickly took it and opened the belt compartment.
Inside the hidden compartment, the Thousand Source Bug was no longer curled up into a ball. It had completely stretched out its body.
Compared to the past, the Thousand Source Bug had undergone tremendous changes.
The previous Thousand Source Bug was white and the size of a rice grain. Other than when it was swallowing ores, one couldn't tell its head from its tail.
But now, the Thousand Source Bug was a size bigger, growing into the size of a cabbage caterpillar.
Not only that, but under its fleshy, fat body, there were two rows of barbed legs, and its eyes and mouth could also now be distinguished.
"Has the metamorphosis been completed?"
Xu Ning took a closer look.
Suddenly, he noticed that the Thousand Source Bug's mouth seemed to be wriggling.
Its fleshy stomach also seemed to have suddenly shrunk.
"Is it about to expel Aura Crystals?"
Sure enough, the Thousand Source Bug opened its mouth and a transparent aura crystal was spat out.
Before the metamorphosis, the Thousand Source Bug had stopped eating ores, so this Aura Crystal was formed from the pure natural aura absorption of the air.
Soon after, a transparent Aura Crystal was spat out.
The size of this Aura Crystal was at least twice as large than before.
Xu Ning couldn't wait to see how much energy units this Aura Crystal contained.
—
Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?
Yes/No
—
"10 units of energy!"
Xu Ning smiled. 'So every time the Thousand Source Bug undergoes a metamorphosis, the quality of Aura Crystals will be greatly improved!"
"I just don't know how long it takes to expel Aura Crystals.."

Chapter 119: Inner Sect Training
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yuelan Sect.
Inner sect.
'From now on, I will be an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect.'
Xu Ning was carrying his waist paiza, clothing, room key, and a Pure Source Pill that he had just received as a reward for new disciples.
Just this morning, all of the 30 people who failed the core disciple selection test were taken to the inner sect to seal their identity as inner sect disciples.
"Xu Ning, what are you going to do next?"
Gu Qinghe and Xu Ning had gotten closer with each other; they were no longer acquaintances.
When Gu Qinghe asked Xu Ning this question, he was also confused.
As inner disciples, their degree of freedom was very high.
Except for completing missions at least once every three months, as long as they didn't leave the sect, they could do almost anything they wanted.
Whether they practiced or had fun, no one cared.
"Do missions and strive to get a void realm secret scroll as soon as possible."
Xu Ning had already planned for this.
After receiving their supplies just now, Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe strolled around the inner sect.
In the Materials Hall, they saw the price for middle-grade and inferior-grade void realm secret scrolls.
After going through them, an inferior-grade void realm secret scroll cost 100 contribution points, while a middle-grade void realm secret scroll cost 200 sect contribution points.
In the inner sect, contribution points could be exchanged for Pure Source Pills, with a ratio of ten to one.
Ten contribution points could be exchanged for one Pure Source Pill.
However, the Materials Hall did not support the exchange in both ways.
"Yes, it's most important to get a void realm secret scroll first."
Gu Qinghe thought that what Xu Ning was saying was reasonable. "A middle-grade void realm secret scroll costs only 200 contribution points, which is really not expensive. I went through some of the missions in the Mission Hall, and some of the rewards are paid with hundreds of contribution points."
"But those missions that pay huge amounts of contribution points are beyond our abilities."
Xu Ning said, "Those missions are for the void realm disciples of the inner sect."
Inside the inner sect, there were also void realm disciples.
When void realm disciples advanced to the void realm fourth stage, they could choose to leave the inner sect and become a deacon of the sect, allowing them to be in charge of external affairs.
If they did a good job, they might become an elder of the sect in the future.
But because they were from the inner sect, they could not compete for the position of sect master.
"That's true."
Gu Qinghe felt a little regretful. "It would be great if Pure Source Pills can be exchanged for contribution points. If it is possible, I can ask my family to send me some Pure Source Pills and exchange it for some contribution points."
After getting to know each other better, Xu Ning had figured out Gu Qinghe's identity.
He was a bastard son of the contemporary family head of the Gu family in Gushan Canton, and he was sent here because of his outstanding talent.
His family could indeed provide him with resources.
"Why can't Pure Source Pills be exchanged for contribution points?"
Xu Ning said, "It's just not possible at the Materials Hall. Inner disciples can definitely exchange with each other, but if you do this privately, it will be at a premium. A Pure Source Pill may be exchanged for less than ten contribution points."
"It's fine if it's less than ten. At least, it will save me a lot of effort."
Gu Qinghe was confident that he had his family to support him. "If it weren't for that killer on the road, I wouldn't have lost the 50 Pure Source Pills that I had carried with me. Even at a premium, I can exchange them for two middle-grade void realm secret scrolls. One for you, and one for me."
Gu Qinghe spoke with anger in his voice. He obviously thought of Duan Xuefeng who had become a core disciple.
"You really are wealthy."
Xu Ning smiled when Gu Qinghe said this.
Gu Qinghe was indeed a good friend.
"When I get back to my room and clean up, I will send a letter to my home and have my dad send me another 50 Pure Source Pills."
Gu Qinghe said.
"Aren't Pure Source Pills very rare in the outside world?"
Xu Ning remembered that Feng Chengyu had only obtained 30 Pure Source Pills with the help of her status as the family head.
"It is…"
Gu Qinghe scratched his head. "However, my father has been nice to me ever since I was a child. If he worked hard, he should be able to get 50 more Pure Source Pills."
Xu Ning was speechless.
"Let's go back home. After we pack up our stuff, I have to go to the Mission Hall and look at the available missions."
Xu Ning didn't want to wait around for a single second. He just wanted to earn contribution points, then redeem them for a middle-grade void realm secret scroll.
…
In the afternoon.
Xu Ning came to the Mission Hall.
Gu Qinghe didn't go with him, instead he was writing a letter to his family.
The Mission Hall at this time was full of people.
Although the sect had no requirements for inner sect disciples, since they came to the Yuelan Sect, most of them were still motivated in their pursuit of martial arts.
In order to obtain the necessary resources for their martial arts practice, everyone was willing to complete missions.
'Let's see if there are any missions I can take.'
On the wall of the Mission Hall, there were black boards filled with descriptions of various missions.
If the mission was accepted by someone, someone would take it off and update it with a new mission.
'Mission content: Ten feathers from a void realm Night Hunting Snow Eagle; mission reward: 150 contribution points; mission time limit: unlimited; remarks: none.'
'Mission content: eliminate the Danggushan Horse Bandits; mission reward: 300 contribution points; mission time limit: three months; remarks: none.'
'Mission content…'
Missions were placed in front of Xu Ning's eyes.
Some of these missions were commissioned by the faction, while some were commissioned by individuals.
"There are a lot of missions."
Xu Ning was dazzled. The more choices, the harder it was to choose.
Some missions, although the rewards were attractive, were too dangerous.
Some missions were relatively simple, but had low rewards and were time-consuming.
This was the first time Xu Ning would conduct a mission, so he wanted to stay on the safe side.
"What?"
Xu Ning saw a mission description in the corner.
'Mission content: sparring partner for void realm secret technique practice; mission reward: 10 contribution points/day; mission time limit: long-term; remarks: spirit realm warrior, mastered a void realm secret technique.'
'This seems to suit me well.'
Xu Ning was interested in this mission.
This mission must be a private commission, and the opposite party should also be an inner disciple.
He wouldn't have to go out of the faction, so there was no danger involved.
In addition to this, Xu Ning had already cultivated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the third level.
Even if he suffered from some minor injuries during the sparring session, he would recover quickly.
So overall, this mission was quite suited for Xu Ning.
'10 contribution points every day. It's quite a lot.'
Xu Ning thought in his mind, 'As long as I work for 20 days, I can get the 200 contribution points needed to buy a void realm secret scroll.'
As long as Xu Ning got his hands on a void realm secret scroll, he could immediately break through the realms with the help of the remaining 15 Pure Source Pills.
'This one.'
After Xu Ning decided, he quickly went to the counter to line up.
If someone accepted this mission while he was in the queue, he wouldn't have a chance to accept this mission anymore.
But Xu Ning was quite lucky, as the mission was still there after he finished queuing up.
"Which mission do you wish to accept?"
The mission receptionist in front of the counter was a young girl who was also an inner disciple. She was working at the Mission Hall to obtain more Pure Source Pills.
Xu Ning described the mission he wanted.
"Sure, that mission has not been claimed yet."
The girl took out a piece of paper. "Tell me your information."
Xu Ning said his name and the house number of his residence.
The girl recorded it and handed another piece of the mission details to Xu Ning.
"Take this and you can do the mission."
"Thanks a lot."
Xu Ning took it and walked out of the Mission Hall.
'Mission requester: Le Caiwei; mission location: Spring Moon Courtyard Room 16."
Xu Ning looked at the mission location and was a little surprised.
Spring Moon Courtyard was where the elites of the inner sect lived.
Ordinary inner disciples, like Xu Ning and Gu Qinghe, lived in ordinary rooms. Although they were individual rooms, they were relatively small.
However, the advantage of such rooms was that there was no need to pay for rent.
On the other hand, the Spring Moon Courtyard contained single-family houses.
In the inner sect, living in a place like this required a large sum of Pure Source Pills every month.
"Le Caiwei isn't a void realm warrior, right?"
Xu Ning said doubtfully.
Generally speaking, people who lived in the Spring Moon Courtyard had a strong family background, and most of them were void realm disciples.
"Probably not…"
Immediately, Xu Ning rejected this idea.
A void realm warrior would never practice a void realm secret technique with a spirit realm warrior. After all, this kind of practice was too weak to be effective.
'Since she's not a void realm warrior, then her family background must be strong.'
Xu Ning looked at the information on the paper. 'Should I go to find Le Caiwei tomorrow, or should I go now?'
The mission paid 10 contribution points a day for the sparring session, but it was already in the afternoon, so they could spar for half a day at most.
'Forget about it, I'll go and take a look first. I have nothing to do anyway.'
Xu Ning put away the mission details and walked towards the Spring Moon Courtyard.
In the morning, Xu Ning had already mapped out the inner sect, so Xu Ning was not afraid of getting lost.
'Spring Moon Courtyard Room 16.'
Soon after, Xu Ning found the location.
Xu Ning walked to the door and knocked on the door.
Soon after, he heard the sound of footsteps and the door opened.
He saw a chubby girl standing in the courtyard. "Who are you?"
"I'm Xu Ning, I claimed the sparring mission from Le Caiwei."
The chubby girl heard him and said, "Come in."
"Sister Caiwei, the sparring partner for your mission is here."
The chubby girl shouted into the loft of the house.
Xu Ning realized that Le Caiwei was someone else.
A tall woman suddenly walked out. She looked to be in her late twenties.
She was not wearing the clothes of an inner disciple, instead she wore a dark green dress.
"I'm Xu Ning, and I accepted your mission."
Xu Ning handed over the mission details.
Le Caiwei took a look and then returned it.
Her attitude was neither warm nor cold. "You are in the mortal realm ninth stage, have you practiced a void realm secret technique?"
"Yes."
Xu Ning replied.
He didn't care about Le Caiwei's attitude as long as Le Caiwei gave him the contribution points.
"Let's spar for a bit first."
Le Caiwei motioned Xu Ning to walk to the open space in the courtyard.
"Sister Le."
Xu Ning said, "It's afternoon already. If we start sparring now, what about the contribution points?"
"Ten."
Le Caiwei answered simply.
"Okay."
Xu Ning smiled.
'How generous.'
"But I have to test your strength first. If you are too weak, then I have to ask you to leave."
Le Caiwei said.
"Sure."
Xu Ning was prepared to fight.
Seeing this, Le Caiwei waved her fists and swung at his face.
'Her void realm secret technique is also a punching technique.'
Xu Ning was also ready to face Le Caiwei.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two punched at each other.
Because it was just a spar and that Xu Ning was on the defensive side, he didn't take the initiative to attack, so all of his Tidal Fist moves were defensive.
"What?"
Le Caiwei punched out and saw that Xu Ning could easily block her punches.
She narrowed her eyes and the speed of her punches increased again.
'Le Caiwei's punching technique is completely opposite to Tidal Fist.'
Xu Ning dissected Le Caiwei's punch. 'Tidal Fist is tough and powerful, one punch is more powerful than the other. Although it is a secret technique of the 'water' characteristic, it is extremely fierce, like a hurricane wave.'
'But Le Caiwei's punches are light and fast. Between each punch, there is a feminine dark force, which causes her opponent to feel out of control.'
Xu Ning quickly figured out the essence of Le Caiwei's punching technique.
"Your strength is not bad."
Le Caiwei attacked continuously, but she still couldn't find any flaw in Xu Ning's defense.
She smiled with satisfaction. "I found several sparring partners in the past, but no one is your level. You not only mastered a void realm secret technique, but also a punching technique like me, which is beneficial to me."
"In this case, before I advance to the void realm, you will be my sparring partner."
Le Caiwei was very satisfied with Xu Ning.
"Come on, this time, you attack me."
Le Caiwei said to Xu Ning.
"Okay."
Xu Ning answered.
Le Caiwei wanted to practice her defensive punching skills.
'Practicing a void realm secret technique is so troublesome.'
Whether it was a void realm secret technique or a mortal realm external skill, Xu Ning used the Martial Arts Panel to improve.
Xu Ning absorbed all of the techniques and routines after advancing.
However, martial artists such as Le Caiwei could only improve through practice, sparring, and even actual combat.
"Here!"
This time, Xu Ning took the initiative to attack.
Xu Ning used a Tidal Fist punch combo.
Because he was not facing a real enemy, Xu Ning only used single strength punches.
If he used double strength punches, Le Caiwei might not be able to defend against it.
Xu Ning inferred that her void realm punching technique was only in the first level, and there was still some gap before she could reach level two.
"You aren't using your full strength!"
Le Caiwei realized that Xu Ning was holding back, so she punched out and said, "Show me all your strength!"
"All my strength?"
Xu Ning knew very well that if he used quadruple strength punches, Le Caiwei's defense would collapse, and within five punches, Le Caiwei would lose consciousness.
'I'll use double strength punches first.'
Internal Qi began to surge in Xu Ning's body.
"What?"
Le Caiwei suddenly felt a sense of danger.
'His next punch seems… very strong!'

Chapter 120: Le Caiwei's Invitation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After sensing the threat, Le Caiwei raised her attention to the extreme.
Noticing that Xu Ning was getting ready to go on the offensive, she was ready to defend.
Bang!
Xu Ning threw out a double strength punch.
Le Caiwei used her forearm to block it.
'Double the power!'
Le Caiwei's pupils shrunk: 'Sure enough, he was going easy on me before.'
'But it's not just that his punch is stronger, it's…'
Just when Le Caiwei was about to fight back, Xu Ning punched out again.
He was still using double strength punches.
Le Caiwei's eyebrows began to frown.
'His explosive power suddenly doubled, but why is he still so fast?'
Xu Ning's punching speed suddenly increased again.
The double strength punches completely wrapped Le Caiwei like a violent storm, leaving Le Caiwei with no chance to breathe.
'Painful!'
This was Le Caiwei's current feelings.
Her face and forearm were assaulted by a powerful force. She could feel them swelling up.
Le Caiwei wanted to fight back, but Xu Ning would not stop attacking. Everytime she tried to counterattack, her flaws would be revealed.
Suddenly, Le Caiwei's arm flicked to the side.
Her defense was now wide open.
Xu Ning punched forward.
His fist barely stopped just when it was about to touch Le Caiwei.
A gust of wind blew away Le Caiwei's messy hair.
'This inner disciple is so strong.'
The chubby girl had been watching the spar from the sidelines all this time.
In her mind, Le Caiwei was one of the strongest inner disciples outside of the void realm.
But this new inner disciple easily surpassed Le Caiwei.
"What level is your void realm secret technique at?"
Le Caiwei flipped her hair behind her ears and looked at Xu Ning.
She was confused, surprised, and puzzled.
"Third level."
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
"Third level…"
Le Caiwei bit her lip and a look suddenly flashed in her eyes.
'Strong enough.'
Le Caiwei paused for a moment. She seemed to be adjusting her mental state. "You should hold back your strength, otherwise… I can't defend myself."
"Okay."
Xu Ning would certainly meet the demands of his employer.
"Let's continue practicing our punching techniques, but this time I will be on the offensive side."
Le Caiwei said to her sparring partner.
"Sure."
Xu Ning got into a defensive position.
Time flew by, and soon after, two and a half hours had passed.
It was already evening.
"That's it for today."
Le Caiwei stopped.
Le Caiwei was sweating. Her clothes were soaked, and her hair was stuck together.
At the end of it all, her aura was now in a disorderly state. She was obviously exhausted.
Xu Ning's clothes were still clean, and he was calm as a cucumber. Looking at him, Le Caiwei felt a little frustrated.
"Go bring 100 contribution points."
Le Caiwei looked at the chubby girl.
Soon after, the chubby girl brought a paper voucher worth 100 contribution points.
"For Xu Ning."
The paper voucher was handed over to Xu Ning.
"This is your pay for the next ten days."
Le Caiwei said, "Remember to come early tomorrow."
"Sure."
Xu Ning nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the 100 contribution point paper voucher.
It was refreshing to work with a generous employer.
"I will head off then."
Xu Ning put away the paper voucher and was about to leave.
"Wait." Le Caiwei called Xu Ning, "I've never seen you around before."
"I just entered the inner sect today."
Xu Ning explained.
"You became an inner disciple just today?"
Le Caiwei was obviously surprised.
Her eyes narrowed. She thought about it before asking, "Would you like to join the Seven Boxers?"
"Seven Boxers?"
Xu Ning was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Le Caiwei explained truthfully, "The Seven Boxers is an organizational group within the inner sect."
"The inner sect has a relatively relaxed environment, but because of this, it is difficult for individuals to be competitive. In order to make up for such personal weaknesses, some powerful inner sect disciples have formed their own minor forces."
"The Seven Boxers was formed by Senior Brother Xiao Qiyun, and he is in the void realm third stage."
Le Caiwei continued, "As long as you join the Seven Boxers, you will receive internal assistance from us. Besides strictly prohibited behavior, everyone will help each other."
Xu Ning heard this and began to think.
But Xu Ning did not immediately agree to this.
Joining them would be convenient, but naturally there would also be constraints.
He had to collect more information before deciding whether to join or not.
"Thank you Sister Le for the invitation, but I have to think this over first."
Xu Ning declined.
"Okay, you can think about it first."
Le Caiwei did not force him.
Afterwards, Xu Ning bid farewell and left the Spring Moon Courtyard.
"Sister Caiwei, you seem to be very satisfied with this sparring session."
The chubby girl brought a wet towel with warm water and gently wiped Le Caiwei's cheeks.
"I am very satisfied."
Le Caiwei nodded: "Xu Ning's void realm punching technique is very clever. Whether it is offensive or defensive, he is excellent at both. No matter what kind of practice I need, he can meet my requirements."
"It's hard to find such a good sparring partner. Giving him ten contribution points a day is practically a steal."
"Do you think he will join the Seven Boxers?"
The chubby girl asked.
"I'm not sure."
Le Caiwei shook her head. "An ordinary disciple would definitely join the Seven Boxers instantly. But he probably won't, unless the benefits tempt him."
"For people like him, even if they don't join an inner sect organization, they can still stand out in the inner sect and make a name for themselves."
"But…"
Le Caiwei paused: "I will still try to get him, since I am not actively helping the Seven Boxers currently."
"Before, Guo Yuechun and I were similar in strength, but recently, she managed to break through the void realm and start to squeeze me out of the Seven Boxers."
Le Caiwei's expression turned a little cold. "If I want to continue to stand on my two feet, I have to find a teammate, and Xu Ning is a good candidate. He is not only strong, but also young and sufficiently talented. He will be able to enter the void realm in a few years. By then, I will definitely enter the void realm as well. If Xu Ning is willing to support me, I will be qualified to fight for the next leader position of the Seven Boxers."
The chubby girl listened and scratched her head. "So complicated."
…
Xu Ning ate some food first before returning to his room.
Looking at the paper voucher that was worth 100 contribution points, Xu Ning had a smile on his face.
"Xu Ning, you are finally back."
Gu Qinghe pushed open Xu Ning's door.
His room was next to Xu Ning's.
"What did you do this afternoon? Why haven't I seen you around?"
Gu Qinghe walked in. "I wanted to go to the Mission Hall and look at the missions with you."
"I already went to the Mission Hall."
Xu Ning said, "I have already accepted a mission, and I even got paid."
Xu Ning shook the paper voucher worth 100 contribution points.
"What?"
Gu Qinghe quickly grabbed the paper coupon in Xu Ning's hand and took a closer look.
"What kind of mission gives you 100 contribution points in one afternoon?"
Gu Qinghe returned the paper voucher to Xu Ning and quickly asked.
"Sparring practice."
Xu Ning explained: "I accompanied a senior sister to practice her void realm secret techniques. I make ten contribution points a day. This is my pay for the next ten days."
Gu Qinghe was a little envious after hearing this: "Tomorrow I have to go to the Mission Hall and accept a mission."
"What did you do this afternoon?"
Xu Ning asked casually.
"When you were away, I walked around by myself, got to know some people, and asked about the inner sect."
Gu Qinghe replied.
"Asked about the inner sect…"
Xu Ning heard the words and asked, "Do you know about the Seven Boxers?"
"Seven Boxers?"
Gu Qinghe replied, "Of course I know, the Seven Boxers are one of the largest internal groups in the inner sect. They can even influence the decisions of inner sect deacons."
"As far as I know, many of the new disciples want to join these internal organizations, but are not able to. Why do you ask? Do you want to join the Seven Boxers?"
Gu Qinghe asked casually.
"The senior sister who practiced with me, wants me to join the Seven Boxers."
Xu Ning responded, "But I didn't immediately agree."
Gu Qinghe frowned and said, "Don't you value this opportunity?"
"I heard that as long as you join the Seven Boxers, you will be given an extra Pure Source Pill every month by the Seven Boxers."
Gu Qinghe said, "Moreover, as long as you can complete the internal missions, there will be additional rewards, and I heard the rewards of the missions are very generous."
"In addition, if you are attacked by other people or other internal groups, Seven Boxers will take the initiative to help you. Apparently, Xiao Qiyun, the leader of the Seven Boxers, is a good leader."
"I see…"
After hearing what Gu Qinghe said, Xu Ning was a little tempted.
Once he met Le Caiwei tomorrow, he would ask her about the details.
If the benefits were tempting enough, he would accept the invitation.
But if it took too much effort, then he wouldn't.
…
The next day.
According to the agreement, Xu Ning went to the Spring Moon Courtyard for their sparring session.
Just like yesterday, he fought fiercely.
At noon, Le Caiwei suddenly waved her hand.
"Enough, that's it for today."
Xu Ning looked at Le Caiwei, who seemed a little tired. "Not practicing in the afternoon?"
"Enough."
Le Caiwei said, "I still have some stuff to do this afternoon, and…"
Le Caiwei pulled up her sleeves.
Her two forearms, together with her fists, were completely red and swollen.
This happened yesterday as well. Le Caiwei even had to soak her arms in water to relieve the pain.
Now one day later, after more high-intensity training, the injuries on her arms had worsened.
Xu Ning was not tired at all.
Although he had suffered some injuries, his Flame Breath Bone Sutra had healed all of those injuries in no time.
"Next time I'll go easy."
Xu Ning said.
"No need, this is better."
Le Caiwei responded.
Although Le Caiwei had only spent one day sparring with Xu Ning, she believed that her punching technique had improved.
Le Caiwei felt that if she practiced this way for a month, she would advance her void realm secret technique to level two.
"Sister Le, I want to ask some questions about the Seven Boxers."
Xu Ning said.
When Le Caiwei heard Xu Ning say this, a flash of a smile appeared on her face.
She guessed that after Xu Ning left yesterday, he must have asked about the Seven Boxers.
"Go."
"If I join the Seven Boxers, what will I receive, and what do I need to do?"
Xu Ning's question was very direct.
"As long as you join the Seven Boxers, then every month, in addition to the one Pure Source Pill that the inner disciples receive, we will also give an extra Pure Source Pill."
"In addition, if you have a problem in the inner sect, the Seven Boxers will take the initiative to help you solve the problem."
Le Caiwei's words were similar to what Gu Qinghe said yesterday.
Seeing that Xu Ning was not tempted, Le Caiwei said, "In addition to this, there are some smaller benefits. For example, in the Seven Boxers, Pure Source Pills and contribution points can be exchanged both ways. In terms of getting missions, the Seven Boxers will receive worthwhile missions that are not available to the public. These missions will be directly assigned to our internal group."
"And what you need to do is to complete an internal group mission every month, which will also be paid."
Le Caiwei said.
"Hmm…"
Xu Ning was still not too excited.
Judging from the current benefits, the gains from joining the Seven Boxers did not seem very obvious.
In addition to one more Pure Source Pill, he would receive more worthwhile missions, which slightly tempted Xu Ning.
After seeing Xu Ning hesitating, Le Caiwei thought about it and said, "This is only for beginners. There are internal classes in the Seven Boxers. If you reach a higher class, you can receive more Pure Source Pills and a higher degree of freedom."
"Like?"
Xu Ning asked.
"With your strength, coupled with my help, you can reach Class Three. At Class Three, you'll receive three Pure Source Pills every month!"
"Additionally, your degree of freedom will also increase. At that point, internal missions can be done once every three months, but the difficulty of those missions slightly increases."
Le Caiwei's conditions finally made Xu Ning somewhat satisfied.
Three more Pure Source Pills every month was worth 300 units of energy.
"If that is the case, I am willing to join the Seven Boxers."
After thinking about this, Xu Ning made a decision.
"Okay!"
Le Caiwei smiled.
'I introduced Xu Ning to the Seven Boxers.'
'As long as I maintain a relationship with Xu Ning in the future, I will surely become friends with him.'
"I have to attend a meeting for the Seven Boxers this afternoon."
Le Caiwei explained, "I recommend you to come."
"By the way, if you want to reach a higher class, remember to show your greatest strength in the afternoon."
Le Caiwei couldn't wait to show those people her latest recruit..
