Chapter 161: Bao Weijing, Youth Regaining Vitality Pill

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bao Mansion.

"It was a one-shot kill. The opponent is much stronger than Bao Xinxuan."

After Bao Qiuhua checked Bao Xinxuan's body, her face was pale.

She didn't expect that Bao Xinxuan would be killed on a trip outside.

"The opponent should be a qualitative change realm martial artist."

Bao Qiuhua inferred.

"No."

Fang Jie was also there.

He also checked and gave an opinion. "The person who killed him is far stronger than a qualitative change realm martial artist, at least in the attribute realm, or even… the common seal realm."

"This…"

Bao Qiuhua had a terrible look on her face when she heard the words. "Bao Xinxuan caused trouble before and made enemies everywhere, but I didn't expect him to provoke an expert of this level…"

If the other party was a warrior in the common seal realm, then even with the Yuelan Sect behind them, they would still face a huge threat.

Bao Qiuhua felt helpless.

Because they were backed by the Yuelan Sect, many people in the family were quite arrogant.

It was the same for Bao Ruyuan. After he entered the Yuelan Sect, in order to warn him, Elder Gujuan even changed his name.

He hoped that Bao Ruyuan could speak and act cautiously.

But unexpectedly, Bao Ruyuan and Bao Xinxian passed away.

The two of them were important figures in the family.

Accidents happening to these two were a major blow to their entire family.

"Common seal realm…"

While Bao Qiuhua was feeling bitter, Fang Jie frowned.

"Disciple-Nephew Fang Jie, what are you…"

Bao Qiuhua noticed the thoughtful look in Fang Jie's eyes.

"I was thinking about the common seal realm martial artist who appeared near the Bao family mansion."

Fang Jie's tone was suspicious.

"Are you saying that the one who did this is that common seal martial artist?"

Bao Qiuhua's heart skipped a beat.

At the time, she only felt that the common seal realm martial artist was just passing by, but now it seemed that the person was trying to scout their family out in advance.

Moreover, he was going to mess with the entire Bao family.

"It's just a possibility."

Fang Jie responded.

He was relatively calm, after all, this had nothing to do with him.

Fang Jie was ready to leave the Bao family.

Bao Qiuhua's heart was heavy.

She knew very well that if Fang Jie left the Bao family, then she would be the strongest person in the family.

However, as an attribute realm martial artist, she was definitely not a match for a martial artist in the common seal realm.

Whether it was Bao Xinxuan who provoked him, or the Bao family who unintentionally provoked him, he was now a huge threat to the Bao family.

If they didn't find out who the person was, the Bao family would be in great danger.

Bao Qiuhua felt a strong sense of unease.

"Disciple-Nephew Fang Jie, the Bao family is in a crisis, so I hope you can stay for a while."

Bao Qiuhua said.

"Auntie-Master Bao, it's not that I don't want to, but I do have important matters to attend to. I have been here long enough."

Fang Jie would not take the initiative to help them.

After seeing Fang Jie's nonchalant attitude, Bao Qiuhua gritted her teeth and said, "If Martial Nephew Fang Jie is willing to help me catch the person who plotted against the Bao family, I will give you a big gift!"

"Auntie-Master Bao, it's not that I don't want to, but…"

Fang Jie didn't care.

In his opinion, what the Bao family could offer would definitely not tempt him.

However, before Fang Jie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bao Qiuhua.

"A dao seal stone tablet!"

Bao Qiuhua's words made Fang Jie stop talking.

"Dao seal stone tablet?!"

Even Fang Jie looked surprised. "Auntie Bao, don't lie to me, do you really have a dao seal?"

Although Fang Jie had seen Elder Gujuan's dao seal, it did not belong to him.

A dao seal stone tablet was a rare treasure, even for Fang Jie.

"Yes."

Bao Qiuhua's heart ached, but she still said, "However, the seal stone tablet has a bloodline seal, and it is currently in the state of being unsealed. However, in at most a month, the seal stone tablet will be unsealed."

"This dao seal stone tablet has the same attribute as both you and me—the wind attribute. I hope that after this dao seal stone tablet is unsealed, I can observe it for three months, then I'll hand it to you. However, the prerequisite is that you must capture that common seal realm martial artist."

Bao Qiuhua continued to perfect her idea.

Fang Jie was intrigued.

If it weren't for the fact that Bao Qiuhua and Elder Gujuan were from the same sect and were old friends, Fang Jie would have wanted to kill and snatch the dao seal stone tablet.

"Okay, I agree."

Fang Jie was also greedy.

"In this case, let's discuss the details of dealing with the evil person."

Seeing that Fang Jie had agreed to the deal, Bao Qiuhua felt relieved.

Inside the Bao family mansion.

Bao Xinxian, Bao Weijing's father, returned home drunk after drinking at the brothel.

"My husband drank so much wine again."

When Mrs. Quan saw Bao Xinxian come back, she quickly served him a bowl of clear soup.

Madam Quan was in a good mood.

In her opinion, Bao Weijing had already been killed.

Although she paid the price of ten Pure Source Pills, it was worth it to have a peace of mind in the future.

"Oh…"

Bao Xinxian took the bowl of clear soup and drank it in one gulp. Soon after, his consciousness became much clearer.

"Madam, you have to pay more attention to Weijing. Although you are not his biological mother, you are still his mother in name. Don't be too mean…"

Bao Xinxian had been trying to reconnect his relationship with Bao Weijing.

"Yes, Husband."

Mrs. Quan smiled. "When he comes back from the trial, I will visit him."

"He is already back."

Bao Xinxian said, "When I entered the house just now, I heard that the group already came back, but Elder Bao Xinxuan seems to have been killed by his enemies."

Thump!

When Madam Quan heard this, the empty bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

"Madam, madam?"

When Bao Xinxian saw that Madam Quan was stunned, he quickly called out.

But Madam Quan did not move, she was like a stone.

…

Another half a month went by.

Bao Weijing was in his courtyard, practicing wholeheartedly.

Now, Bao Weijing had moved out of the small courtyard, had his own villa, and had a servant.

This was partly because of Bao Xinxian's help, and partly because the family valued Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing had advanced to the mortal realm eighth stage.

Bao Weijing's rapid advancement even attracted the attention of Clan Head Bao Shihui.

Bao Shihui even suspected that Bao Weijing had consumed a Stimulating Pill, causing him to overdraw his potential to gain the attention of the higher-ups in the family.

However, after checking Bao Weijing, Bao Shihui found that there were no signs of over-exhaustion in Bao Weijing's body.

This discovery made Bao Shihui very happy. In his opinion, Bao Weijing must have been suddenly enlightened.

In the Bao family's history, there were also some pillars of the family who performed averagely in the beginning, but later on, they suddenly exploded and grew rapidly.

In Bao Shihui's opinion, his grandson Bao Weijing was like this.

Because of this, Bao Shihui even took the initiative to improve Bao Weijing's status and let him participate in the family meeting as an elite descendant.

Among the grandsons, only three to five people had this kind of treatment.

Of course, the truth was not that Bao Weijing was a late-bloomer.

Bao Weijing's rapid progress was all due to Xu Ning's pills.

However, Xu Ning's pill refinement technique was extremely advanced, allowing the pills he refined to have almost no side effects, which gave Bao Shihui the illusion that Bao Weijing was a late-bloomer.

"Phew…"

Bao Weijing breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

Bao Weijing was full of energy, and his eyes were bright.

"With Senior Tao's help, my strength has improved rapidly, and my family status has also risen steadily. Now, some people in the family have taken the initiative to approach me, expressing their wish to help me compete for the spot as the successor of the family head."

Bao Shihui had said before that the next family head might not appear in the next generation, but might also appear in the next generation.

Bao Weijing's continuous improvement and outstanding performance made some people look expectantly at him.

"If I can become the head of the family, then it will be easy to deal with Madam Quan."

Bao Weijing was full of pride.

"Young Master, there are a few young ladies and gentlemen in the family who want to invite you to a lunch party."

A servant came up and reported to Bao Weijing respectfully.

"I refuse."

Bao Weijing refused.

These people all saw his rise in status in the family and wanted to pull strings.

Normally, Bao Weijing would have responded.

But not today, he planned to go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion to see Senior Tao.

When he participated in the family meeting yesterday, Bao Weijing had learned some high-level information that he didn't know before.

Bao Weijing felt that this information might interest Senior Tao.

Afterwards, Bao Weijing left the mansion.

After confirming that no one was following him, Bao Weijing rushed to the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

In a room of the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Six cyan pills jumped out of the furnace in front of Xu Ning.

"Youth Regaining Vitality Pill, done!"

Xu Ning smiled and put away the six pills.

Over the past few days, Xu Ning had been working hard.

He had looted some resources near the Crystal Building, exchanged for a lot of raw materials, and refined many pills.

Over the past month, Xu Ning had filled up his reserves of 1,000 units to nearly 10,000 units.

In addition, Xu Ning also refined some practical pills. He even just refined a Youth Regaining Vitality Pill.

This Youth Regaining Vitality Pill was specially made for his brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan.

Because Tao Yunchuan was not a warrior, and his old injuries had happened a long time ago, the quality of the pill needed to heal his old injuries was very high.

Xu Ning had only recently found the raw materials for the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill and refined it.

When he rescued the Wei family member and returned to the Tao Village, he would give this pill for his brother-in-law to ingest..

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Ning immediately sensed that Bao Weijing was here.

Xu Ning put away the furnace and put on his mask.

"Come in."

Xu Ning said to the door.

Immediately after, the door opened and Bao Weijing walked in.

After closing the door, he bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

"Greetings, Senior Tao!"

The higher his status in the family, the more respectful he was to Xu Ning.

In his opinion, everything he had received was a gift from Xu Ning. Since he was able to give him this position, he could easily take everything away.

Moreover, Bao Weijing was sincerely grateful to Xu Ning.

In addition to these aids, Xu Ning had also saved his life twice.

"Intention realm?"

Xu Ning noticed that Bao Weijing's strength had improved once again.

Although this had a lot to do with his pills, it also showed that Bao Weijing was quite talented.

If he was placed in the Yuelan Sect, he would at least be an inner sect elite.

"It's all thanks to Senior Tao's pills that I can make such progress."

Bao Weijing was humble.

"Senior Tao…"

Bao Weijing took a step forward. "Recently, my strength has improved rapidly, so I have been valued by the Family Head, which has raised my status in the family. Now, I am qualified to participate in the discussion of the family's decision-making hierarchy. There are also many people who secretly want to help me obtain the position of the family head."

"Oh?"

This went smoother than Xu Ning imagined.

Xu Ning helped Bao Weijing in the beginning because he wanted to help him become a senior member of the Bao family, infiltrating the Bao family.

Xu Ning thought this process would take longer, so he didn't expect this to happen so soon.

"Well done."

Xu Ning praised Bao Weijing.

Although it was just a short sentence, Bao Weijing seemed very happy.

"Senior Tao, when I participated in the family meeting yesterday, I received some news."

Bao Weijing said, "The Family Head, family elders, and Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect had participated in this meeting."

"I learned that Bao Ruyuan, the elite disciple of the family and the core disciple of the Yuelan Sect, is dead. Fang Jie came here to deliver the news. Moreover, before Fang Jie returns to the Yuelan Sect, he will take some outstanding disciples of the family clan and let them enter the Yuelan Sect as outer and inner disciples."

Xu Ning's expression did not change, but after hearing the latter half of the sentence, he said, "You are quite talented. If you can enter the Yuelan Sect, you are more than qualified to be an inner disciple."

"I don't plan to enter the Yuelan Sect, I just want to be at your beck and call."

Bao Weijing said respectfully.

Xu Ning smiled.

Bao Weijing said, "In addition, there is one more thing that is related to you."

"The death of Elder Bao Xinxuan made Elder Bao Qiuhua feel threatened. She felt that someone was targeting the Bao family, so she persuaded Fang Jie to stay and help find the person who killed Bao Xinxuan, then get rid of him."

Bao Weijing looked up at Xu Ning with a look of concern in his eyes: "Senior Tao, Fang Jie's strength is said to be at the void realm eighth stage, you must be careful."

Bao Weijing was curious.

Even though Grand Elder Bao Qiuhua was a void realm sixth stage, she didn't dare to face Xu Ning, who had killed Bao Xinxuan, and had to rely on the help of the stronger Fang Jie.

This made Bao Weijing question Xu Ning's strength again.

Prior to this, Bao Weijing had thought that Xu Ning was a void realm fourth stage martial artist, but now it seemed that Xu Ning was a terrifying existence in the void realm seventh stage or even eighth stage.

'She deduced my true strength just from my attack on Bao Xinxuan. This should have been discovered by Fang Jie.'

When Xu Ning attacked, he only used his true qi, but Fang Jie still guessed it.

'Bao Qiuhua must have paid a huge price to persuade Fang Jie to help her. If I'm not wrong, it should be that dao seal.'

Xu Ning sorted out his thoughts.

"Do they have any plans to deal with me?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes."

After seeing Xu Ning remain so calm after hearing that there was an enemy in the void realm eighth stage, Bao Weijing was certain that Senior Tao was a high-level void realm martial artist.

"Bao Qiuhua has inferred that your goal is the entire Bao family, so they plan to use the important members of the Bao family as bait to lure you out."

Bao Weijing continued to speak in detail, "In five days, the family will send the Family Head, several void realm elders, and the elites of the younger generation to go out together. Before that, this news will spread to deliberately bait you. They believe that this will make you have the urge to destroy the core of the Bao family."

"In the meantime, Fang Jie will follow them in secret. And when you appear, he will attack you."

Xu Ning nodded. This plan was reasonable.

"Will Bao Qiuhua participate in the operation?"

Xu Ning asked.

"She won't participate, instead she will stay in the Bao family mansion."

Bao Weijing was certain. "She seems to have something important to do, but she didn't tell us the specifics."

"Is that so…"

After understanding everything, Xu Ning started to think deeply about it.

"Well done."

Xu Ning said, "I have a plan for what to do next."

"These are the pills I recently prepared for you."

Xu Ning threw out a bunch of porcelain bottles, and inside were pills that he had recently refined for Bao Weijing.

"Senior Tao, there's really no need…"

Bao Weijing was a little flattered. "I haven't finished the pills you gave me before…"

"It's okay. You can just increase the dosage, this will speed up your cultivation."

Xu Ning didn't expect Bao Weijing's status to rise so quickly.

The more this was the case, the more Bao Weijing needed strength to support himself.

"Then I'll accept it…"

Although this was not the first time he had received pills from Xu Ning, Bao Weijing was still very happy.

He knew very well that the pills given by Xu Ning were of extremely high quality.

There were almost no side effects, and its effect was no worse than those medicinal pills that consumed potential.

"Go back and strive to advance to the spirit realm as soon as possible. I will also find a way to help you obtain the status of the family heir."

Xu Ning made a promise.

"Yes."

Bao Weijing left.

'This Bao Weijing is quite useful…'

Xu Ning thought, 'Since Bao Qiuhua wants to use bait to make me appear, then I will do the opposite. Not only will I not attack the core of the family, but I will go directly to the Bao family mansions.'

'Fang Jie is not there, so it will not be difficult to deal with Bao Qiuhua and rescue the Wei family members.'

Xu Ning knew that he was about to achieve his goal in the Crystal Mansion.

…

Five days later.

The news that the core members of the Bao family had gone out to visit other big families had spread, and soon they left the Crystal Mansion Prefecture.

Xu Ning didn't fall for it, instead he took advantage of the night and went to the Bao family mansion.

'Sure enough, Fang Jie and the core members of the Bao family are no longer in the mansion, even Bao Weijing has left.'

Xu Ning carefully searched around the Bao family mansion. At this moment, he had already sensed Bao Qiuhua's location.

'Is she in a secret room or an underground dungeon? Moreover, there are three familiar auras next to her… It's the Wei family members!'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up, then he quickly rushed over.

At this time.

Inside the underground dungeon.

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were taken to a secret room.

They were then tied to shelves.

The three of them looked pale and exhausted.

They had experienced this many times before.

Every time this happened, they would lose a lot of blood.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Soft footsteps approached.

A skinny old woman with a dark expression walked in.

She walked into the secret room with a stone tablet on her shoulder.

It was Bao Qiuhua.

After seeing Bao Qiuhua walk in, Wei Changqing and the other two were surprised.

When they had blood taken in the past, it was always done by guards, but this time an old woman came.

And they knew this old woman.

This was because she was the one who abducted the three of them and placed them in such a hopeless environment.

"It's you!"

After recognizing Bao Qiuhua, Wei Changqing's pupils shrunk.

"Senior, can you let us live?"

Wei Changqing quickly begged.

The guards he came into contact with before were all minor characters. They only drew blood from them step by step.

But this old woman was definitely the decision maker. If he could make her agree to let the three of them go, then there was still hope.

"Senior, we are descendants of the Wei family in State Feiyun. If you are willing to let us go back, the family behind us will definitely give you enough treasures as repayment!"

Wei Changqing quickly said.

"Heh…"

Bao Qiuhua's smile was eerie. "What is more precious than a dao seal?"

"Dao seal?"

Although this was not the first time they had heard this term, Wei Changqing and the others were still confused.

They didn't know what a dao seal was.

"Senior, you don't have to let me go, even if you just let my nephew and niece go…"

Wei Changqing still wanted to speak, but Bao Qiuhua pointed her finger and injected three strands of true qi into the bodies of the three people. They suddenly felt their bodies soften, inhibiting them from speaking.

"Stop struggling…"

Bao Qiuhua's voice was hoarse. "Don't worry, after this, your pain will be over."

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng looked confused at first before an expression full of fear appeared on their faces.

They understood what Bao Qiuhua meant—this was the last time they would extract their blood.

After this, they would lose their lives.

Wei Changqing and the other two were in pain, but Bao Qiuhua was in a good mood.

After today, the dao seal would be completely unsealed.

Although it would not be hers in the future, she had enough time to observe it.

After observing, she, who had been stuck in the attribute realm for a long time, would have the opportunity to advance to the common seal realm.

"The dao seal is about to be unsealed!"

Bao Qiuhua's fingertips were sharp, her eyes full of murderous intent..

Chapter 163: Successful Rescue

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wei Changqing and the other two were in despair.

But they were helpless.

The moment the qi shot out from Bao Qiuhua's fingertips, a figure suddenly appeared in the secret room.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The true qi collided three times, producing a sound with each collision.

"Who is it!?"

Bao Qiuhua suddenly saw a young man in white appearing in the secret room.

She found his face familiar, but she could not remember him.

Bao Qiuhua quickly retreated with the dao seal in hand, looking as though she was facing a powerful enemy.

Bao Qiuhua couldn't sense Xu Ning's aura at all.

'Xu Ning!'

At this time, Xu Ning was not wearing a mask, so Wei Changqing and the other two recognized him immediately.

Although they couldn't speak, their eyes were full of disbelief.

Wei Changqing and the other two did not expect Xu Ning to appear at the very last moment.

"It's… it's you!"

Bao Qiuhua also slowly started to recognize Xu Ning.

This young man was the young mortal realm warrior who was captured together with the three Wei family members and thrown into the Flame Crystal Mine.

Shouldn't he be working in the mine right now? Why was he here?

After Bao Qiuhua left Xu Ning there, she stopped asking about his situation.

Thus, she had no idea that Xu Ning had escaped.

"Not good!"

Bao Qiuhua suddenly realized something.

"Y-You killed Bao Xinxuan!"

Bao Qiuhua started to feel some form of danger coming from Xu Ning.

Bao Qiuhua also realized that Xu Ning was probably the one who killed Bao Xinxuan.

He was here for revenge!

Bao Qiuhua realized.

He was not targeting the Bao family as a whole. Rather, he was targeting Bao Qiuhua and Bao Xinxuan.

"How is this possible? He is a martial artist in the common seal realm!"

Bao Qiuhua panicked.

When he was kidnapped to State Jifeng, wasn't he just an ordinary mortal realm warrior? How could he be so strong now?

"Yes, I killed Bao Xinxuan, and now it is time for you to die!"

Xu Ning didn't waste anymore time, the attribute power in his body surged.

Bao Qiuhua was an attribute realm martial artist. If it was in the past, he wouldn't be able to kill her with his true qi.

Xu Ning raised his hand and several blue sword seals appeared out of thin air, instantly piercing Bao Qiuhua's body.

Puchi!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Bao Qiuhua wanted to resist, but there was no hope.

Although there was only a difference of one realm, the difference between the attribute realm and the common seal realm was too vast.

After all, the latter was the watershed of the void realm.

Bao Qiuhua could feel that the true qi and attribute power in her body had been completely sealed by the strange power in the azure sword mark.

At this realization, panic finally appeared on her face.

"You guys killed people like chickens and kidnapped people like dogs. You never expected this to happen, right?"

Xu Ning didn't give Bao Qiuhua any hope to survive.

Another sword seal flew out and Bao Qiuhua's heart was pierced through, her head tilted. She was dead.

His two enemies, Bao Xinxuan and Bao Qiuhua, were completely dealt with by Xu Ning.

"Commander Wei, long time no see."

Xu Ning waved his hand and three strands of true qi entered the three prisoner's bodies, allowing the three of them to move again.

Xu Ning broke the ropes on their bodies.

"Xu Ning, you…"

Wei Changqing and the other two stared at Xu Ning, their expressions a little dazed.

Xu Ning suddenly appeared in front of them.

Not only did he save them, but he also killed the old woman.

The three of them felt a little dizzy. They even felt that the whole situation felt unreal.

This old woman was a genuine void realm martial artist, and when they parted ways with Xu Ning a year ago, he was only in the mortal realm sixth stage, internal qi realm.

Even though Xu Ning's talent was outstanding, he had advanced to the void realm in a single year—this was too terrifying.

In fact, this was because Wei Changqing and the other two did not know much about Xu Ning.

If they knew that Xu Ning had not only broken through to the void realm, but was also in the void realm seventh stage, they would be shocked.

"Enough nonsense, I'm going to bring you three out."

Xu Ning first carried the dao seal stone tablet on his shoulder, then a flame rose in his palm.

Bao Qiuhua's body began to burn ablaze.

Xu Ning had used the Water Cross Sword seals against Bao Qiuhua.

So, in order not to be recognized by Fang Jie, Xu Ning chose to eliminate the evidence.

Xu Ning led the three of them out of the underground prison.

When Xu Ning entered the underground prison, he had knocked out all of the guards, so on his way out, there was no one obstructing his path.

"Finally out!"

Wei Zicheng's eyes suddenly turned red.

She thought she would never see the light of day again and never to breathe fresh air again.

Despair and hope changed quickly. The situation changed in just a short time.

Not only Wei Zicheng, but Wei Changqing and Wei Binglin also had mixed feelings.

"Xu Ning, thank you!"

Wei Changqing sighed.

They were the ones who implicated Xu Ning, but in the end, Xu Ning brought them away from the abyss.

"You're welcome."

Xu Ning responded, then whistled.

A giant eagle demon beast quickly rushed down and landed in front of them.

"Come up."

Xu Ning took the three of them and got on the back of the giant eagle demon beast.

This giant eagle demon beast was a demon beast that Xu Ning had forced to recognize him as its master in a valley near the Crystal Mansion.

It was only in the beginning level of the void realm, so it was easily subdued by Xu Ning. In addition, Xu Ning had refined some medicinal pills that could help a void realm demon beast to advance, so it had no qualms submitting to Xu Ning.

With this demon beast, Xu Ning and the others could easily return to State Feiyun.

"Not good, someone has sneaked into the mansion!"

When the giant eagle demon beast landed in the Bao family mansion, it was also discovered by the patrolling guards. There were already people gathering everywhere.

But Xu Ning didn't care, he directly controlled the giant eagle demon beast to fly.

Even if the guards of the Bao family mansion chased them on their demon beasts, they would not be able to catch up.

The giant eagle turned into a black shadow and quickly flew away.

Wei Changqing and the other two sat on the back of the giant eagle demon beast, feeling the wind around them. The feeling of freedom was slowly wearing away their despair.

"Brother Xu, where are we now?"

Wei Zicheng looked at Xu Ning.

Wei Zicheng's eyes were full of respect for Xu Ning.

"We are in State Jifeng."

Xu Ning responded, "The two people abducted us all the way from State Feiyun."

'I was actually brought to State Jifeng.'

Wei Changqing was scared when he heard this.

No wonder after they disappeared, there was no news from the family clan.

They were taken to another state.

If it weren't for Xu Ning, they would never have gotten out of that strange place.

"Brother Xu, are we returning to State Feiyun?"

Wei Binglin asked.

There was a strong desire to go home.

"Wait a few days."

Xu Ning said, "I still have some things to do in State Jifeng."

"Xu Ning, just concentrate on your work. There is no hurry to return to State Feiyun."

Wei Changqing quickly said.

Wei Changqing had already recovered from the excitement of escaping.

He realized that Xu Ning's advancement to the void realm had changed his status.

With Xu Ning's strength, even if he returned to State Feiyun, he would be considered a master in Yunying City, where the Source Sect was located.

Moreover, Xu Ning had saved them. He was their benefactor.

"I will find a safe place to temporarily settle you down."

Xu Ning said, "After I finish what I have to do, I will bring you back to State Feiyun."

Not only did Wei Changqing and the other two miss their hometown, but Xu Ning also missed his home as well.

However, he still had to stay and spend some time arranging everything for Bao Weijing.

Since Bao Weijing had already gained a high status in the Bao family, Xu Ning naturally wanted to promote him to the family head position.

In this way, Xu Ning would gain the strongest mortal force in the southern part of State Jifeng.

And Xu Ning would not let go of this opportunity.

"Xu Ning, what happened in the past year? How did you become a void realm martial artist?"

Wei Changqing asked.

To advance from the mortal realm sixth stage to the void realm in a year was considered very fast, even in the Source Sect.

For this question, Xu Ning had already thought of an excuse.

"After being abducted by those two people to State Jifeng, I was thrown into a mine to do some manual labor. But fortunately, I seized the opportunity to escape, and by chance, I entered State Jifeng's Yuelan Sect."

"After entering the Yuelan Sect, my talent was completely revealed. With a large amount of resources, my advancement speed became faster and faster."

"After I felt that my strength was enough, I looked for your whereabouts. And once I found it, I went there to save you."

His words were vague, but it was an excellent excuse.

"I see."

Wei Changqing understood.

The reason he thought of bringing Xu Ning to Yunying City was because he wanted to recommend Xu Ning to the Source Sect.

"Sure enough, wherever a genius is, they can release their potential."

Wei Changqing sighed.

The growth rate of a genius was terrifying.

The giant eagle continued to fly.

…

At the same time.

Yunshu County.

Yunshu County was not far from the Crystal Mansion, and the first stop for the Bao family's core members was here.

They were currently living with a family in Yunshu County.

Fang Jie had also disguised himself as a member of the Bao family and was currently following them from behind.

"Not good!"

Fang Jie, who had been resting in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.

He took out a crystal square, but the last glimmer on it had already disappeared.

"Bao Qiuhua is in trouble!"

Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua could sense each other.

Bao Ruyuan and Chen Xiaoyi had also used this device while they were in the mystic realm.

Fang Jie was anxious, but he was not worried about Bao Qiuhua. He was instead more worried about the dao seal.

'I have to go back quickly!'

Fang Jie quickly flew back to the Bao family mansion.

This trip took less than an hour.

After returning to the Bao family mansion, Fang Jie entered the underground prison.

After sensing the residual power fluctuation in the prison, Fang Jie's expression turned ugly.

"Bao Qiuhua is dead, and the dao seal stone tablet has also been taken away."

Fang Jie felt that he had seen through the truth. "The goal of that common seal realm martial artist is not the core members of the Bao family, but the dao seal!"

'Leaving the Bao Mansion was exactly what that person wanted. Faced with Bao Qiuhua alone, who was only in the attribute realm, he could easily kill her and seize the dao seal. And because the dao seal has not been completely unsealed, that person took away those prisoners with the needed bloodline.'

Fang Jie was extremely annoyed.

That was a dao seal. If he missed it this time, he didn't know when he would get it again.

'Bao Qiuhua thought that she had kept the fact that she had a dao seal a secret, but in fact, she was targeted right from the get go.'

Fang Jie looked to be in deep thought, as if he was weighing something.

After a while, Fang Jie gritted his teeth and took out a cyan pill.

"Thousand Mile Tracking Pill!"

Fang Jie swallowed it without hesitation.

This Thousand Mile Tracking Pill was a very precious functional dan, as it could be used to track enemies who fled far away.

The weaker the enemy's breath, the closer they were to escape, the clearer the perception.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a ball of pure energy, flowing through his meridians and blood before rushing towards Fang Jie's forehead.

Fang Jie suddenly felt his mind clear up and his perception ability quickly improved.

Fang Jie immediately captured the remaining aura in the prison. Then, in his field of vision, the aura flowed out of the prison like a thread and floated into the distance.

The path of this aura was the path Xu Ning had taken to leave this place.

"Fortunately, that person didn't go far!"

Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes showed a greedy smile.

What he was most worried about was that the person had fled to the point that he couldn't locate him.

If this was the case, not only would he not be able to find the dao seal stone tablet, but he would also have wasted an extremely precious Thousand Mile Tracking Pill.

'I must get that seal!'

Fang Jie walked out of the underground prison and summoned another raptor demon beast before chasing after Xu Ning.

…

Xu Ning didn't know that Fang Jie had sensed his location.

He brought Wei Changqing and the others into a remote mountain. He then found a cave and placed them down.

"Commander Wei, the three of you, excuse yourselves for a moment. I will come back to pick you up after I'm done."

Xu Ning was cautious, trying his best not to let them get close to the Crystal Mansion.

"Okay."

Wei Changqing had no objections. Compared to the harsh environment that they had lived in previously, this cave made him feel unusually warm.

"Xu Ning, you don't have to call me Commander Wei anymore, just call me by my name."

Wei Changqing added.

Now that their identities had changed, Wei Changqing felt that this was inappropriate.

Xu Ning frowned. "Okay, Uncle Wei."

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng treated Xu Ning like a friend.

However, Wei Changqing was on the older side, thus Xu Ning called Wei Changqing uncle.

Wei Changqing was happy to hear Xu Ning call him that.

Xu Ning still regarded him as an elder.

It was good for Wei Changqing to continue to be close with Xu Ning.

"This is for you."

Xu Ning took out two bags of pills.

One of the bags was filled with Grain Pills, while the other was filled with Blood Recovery Pills.

"The pills in this bag can relieve your hunger, and the pills in the other bag can replenish qi and blood. You can take it yourselves."

Xu Ning said.

"Okay."

Wei Changqing accepted them.

"In this case, I'll leave first."

After Xu Ning arranged everything, he got on the back of the giant eagle and disappeared from the three people's vision.

"Brother Xu is so generous!"

Wei Binglin sighed. "Our help to him back then was not even worth a drop of water, but now he is providing us with so much."

"Yeah…"

Wei Zicheng also said, "When we return to State Feiyun, we must report to the family and ask the family to prepare a gift for Brother Xu."

"Take the pills Xu Ning gave you first."

Wei Changqing distributed the two bags of pills, then swallowed the pills.

After swallowing the pills, they felt that their physical strength and energy had recovered greatly.

After Wei Changqing and the other two swallowed the pills, they leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

Although being in such an environment was still inconvenient, they were more relaxed than before.

Now, they were just waiting for Xu Ning to bring them home.

…

Xu Ning rode the giant eagle demon beast and rushed back to the Crystal Mansion.

After Bao Weijing returned to the Crystal Mansion, Xu Ning would help Bao Weijing become the head of the Bao family.

Xu Ning put the dao seal stone tablet into his rib storage space.

The reason why he didn't put it away until now was because Xu Ning didn't want Wei Changqing and the other two to see the rib storage space.

This was Xu Ning's secret.

Below Xu Ning was a continuous mountain range, so in less than half an hour, he would be able to return to the Crystal Mansion.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xu Ning felt a strong aura approaching him.

"This aura… it's Fang Jie!"

Xu Ning suddenly realized. "Fang Jie is here! Didn't he go to Yuntu County?"

"I was too careless!"

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Bao Qiuhua and Fang Jie should have mutual sensing devices. Fang Jie must have noticed that Bao Qiuhua was killed. Moreover, he must have used a special method to chase me here!'

"Avoid him!"

Xu Ning was not afraid of Fang Jie. He just didn't want his identity to be exposed.

Xu Ning ordered the giant eagle demon beast to change direction.

But it was no use, Fang Jie's aura was getting closer and closer.

The giant eagle demon beast that Xu Ning was riding was only in the beginning of the void realm, while the raptor demon beast that Fang Jie was riding was in the middle level of the void realm, so its flying speed was much faster.

"The person in front, hand over the dao seal and I will spare your life!"

Fang Jie's voice was heard near him.

'Sure enough, he has caught up.'

Xu Ning patted the head of the giant eagle demon beast, then jumped down.

Xu Ning ignored the drop of more than a hundred meters.

Soon, Xu Ning landed on a mountain peak.

Afterwards, a strong wind blew above Xu Ning's head.

Fang Jie jumped off a raptor demon beast and blocked Xu Ning's path.

"Yes, you!"

Fang Jie stared at Xu Ning, who was wearing a mask.

Fang Jie hadd finally caught up with Xu Ning.

"You killed Bao Qiuhua and took the dao seal, right?"

Facing Xu Ning, Fang Jie was full of confidence.

The person in front of him was only a void realm seventh stage martial artist, while he was a void realm eighth stage martial artist.

Xu Ning did not speak.

"Not talking?"

Attribute power had begun to surge in Fang Jie's body.

In addition, there was a strange force hovering around him.

'Is this the strength of a void realm eighth stage, a true intent realm martial artist…'

Xu Ning knew that the strange power was attribute true meaning.

Attribute true meaning was not a kind of physical strength, but an invisible support.

Attribute power with true intent could suppress attribute power without true qi.

"It's okay if you don't talk. When I'm about to twist your head off, you will tell me the whereabouts of the dao seal!"

Fang Jie took a step forward and grabbed the air.

Immediately after, a giant hand with strange lines appeared and slapped towards Xu Ning.

When Xu Ning saw this, he instantly avoided it, but soon after, another giant hand came down.

"Tidal Fist!"

Xu Ning couldn't dodge, so he could only use Tidal Fist to block.

However, Xu Ning's realm was one level lower than Fang Jie's, so Xu Ning's Tidal Fist was crushed by Fang Jie's giant wind hand.

"Is this attribute true meaning?"

Xu Ning was shocked.

The moment Tidal Fist came into contact with the giant hand seal, Xu Ning felt a suppressive force that directly shattered the Tidal Fist seal.

'I have no choice, Fang Jie wants to kill me!'

Xu Ning also noticed Fang Jie's unconcealed murderous intent.

Huahua!

Fang Jie's giant wind palm landed one after the other.

At the same time, transparent knife marks fell like raindrops, slashing towards Xu Ning.

There were also hurricanes wrapped in the nature of tearing, cutting, and destruction, formed by countless small wind blades, sweeping towards Xu Ning.

'It seems that I have to expose my identity!'

Xu Ning had no other choice.

He activated his bracer.

Afterwards, Xu Ning's body was wrapped in red armor. At the same time, the Tidal Fist seal, the Water Cross Sword seal, and the Bright Fire Sword seal danced in the air, colliding with Fang Jie's wind attribute attack.

Because of the boost from the dao weapon, Xu Ning's strength was not inferior to Fang Jie's.

"This!"

After noticing that Xu Ning had suddenly become stronger, Fang Jie's pupils shrank. 'How did he suddenly become so strong? And these sword seals…'

"It's the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword!"

As He Mingye's old rival, Fang Jie was familiar with He Mingye's unique skills.

'The Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword are extremely precious secret techniques, and very few people practice them. If this person can use the Water Cross Sword seal and the Bright Fire Sword seal, it means that this person must be related to He Mingye!'

Fang Jie's brain was spinning. 'Sect Master Mi Xingye recently accepted an in-name disciple named Xu Ning. Apparently, this person also practiced a water and fire dual secret scroll!'

'However, Xu Ning is similar in strength to Bao Ruyuan, but this person in front of me is in the common seal realm…'

Fang Jie still had doubts in his heart, but his intuition told him that this masked man was He Mingye's junior brother.

"Are you Xu Ning?"

Fang Jie stopped..

Chapter 165: Power of a Dao Weapon, Over-level Kill

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Did you recognize it?"

Xu Ning was not surprised.

After using the Bright Fire Sword and the Water Cross Sword, Xu Ning knew that Fang Jie could guess his identity.

"Senior Brother Fang."

Xu Ning took off his mask and revealed his face.

This was his first official meeting with Fang Jie.

"Junior Brother Xu Ning, what an eye-opener."

Fang Jie smiled. He was not surprised that Xu Ning knew his identity: "When I heard about you previously, you were only in the qualitative change realm, but now, in such a short time, you have broken through to the common seal realm. Your talent is much better than your Senior Brother He and I. You are the true top genius of the Yuelan Sect."

"Senior Brother Fang is too kind."

After his identity was revealed, Xu Ning also put on a friendly attitude. "Traveling outside the sect, but still meeting Senior Brother Fang, this feels like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Since we are all fellow disciples, then today's misunderstanding is over, right?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"

Fang Jie laughed. "No misunderstandings at all, but some of the things that Junior Brother Xu did seemed to have violated the sect rules."

"You killed a core member of a subordinate family. If this gets out, I'm afraid you will be punished by the Disciplinary Hall. Also, as the disciple of the Sect Master, the Sect Master may be affected by you, causing him to lose his prestige."

"Senior Brother Fang, are you planning to go to the Disciplinary Hall and report me?"

Xu Ning smiled and stared into Fang Jie's eyes.

"Logically speaking, as a sect disciple, it is reasonable to protect the rules of the sect. But you are my junior brother after all. I can't just watch you be punished."

Fang Jie had a strange look in his eyes. "How about this, Junior Brother, if you give me the dao seal tablet, I will help you hide this secret. How about it?"

"Dao seal…"

Xu Ning smiled.

He obviously didn't believe what Fang Jie was saying.

He had exposed too many of his secrets just now. Xu Ning didn't believe that Fang Jie would stop after getting the dao seal stone tablet.

Coupled with the relationship between Fang Jie, He Mingye and Mi Xingye, Fang Jie would definitely not let him go.

If he really compromised with him, then he would face endless troubles in the future.

'Xu Ning has a lot of secrets…'

Fang Jie thought quickly while dealing with Xu Ning.

'In addition to the dao seal, Xu Ning should have another dao weapon on him.'

Fang Jie was surprised when he saw Xu Ning's strength increase, but now he realized: 'And that dao weapon should be an all-attribute dao weapon! If I'm right, this dao weapon should have been obtained from the previous mystic realm. Moreover, he had advanced to the common seal realm. He must have benefited greatly from the mystic realm.'

The greed in Fang Jie's eyes became more and more intense. 'Xu Ning must have a lot of good stuff on him. I did not get to go to this mystic realm, but now that he took the initiative to come to me, I can't ignore it. I have to find a way to kill Xu Ning and take all of his treasures!'

"Okay, it's just a dao seal, I'll give it to Senior Brother Fang!"

Xu Ning pretended to be generous.

"Nice!"

Fang Jie didn't trust Xu Ning. He just wanted to see what Xu Ning would do.

Xu Ning took two steps forward, controlled the rib storage space, took out the dao seal stone tablet, and placed it in front of Fang Jie.

"This is…"

The moment Fang Jie saw the dao seal stone tablet, he was shocked.

What shocked him was not the stone tablet itself, but Xu Ning's method of taking out the stone tablet.

'Sure enough, Xu Ning has gotten a lot of opportunities in the mystic realm!'

Xu Ning's actions made Fang Jie want to kill Xu Ning and seize his treasures.

"Junior Brother, what kind of technique is that?"

Fang Jie licked the corner of his mouth. "That really opened my eyes."

"I obtained a strange object in a mystic realm, and this strange object can hold a lot of things."

Xu Ning seemed to have no ulterior motives. He just answered whatever Fang Jie asked.

"Brother, I have given you the tablet, so you have to keep it a secret for me."

Xu Ning glanced at the stone tablet, then said to Fang Jie.

When Fang Jie heard this, his eyes narrowed. "Junior Brother, I want to take a look at that treasure. How about you let me take a look?"

"This is my secret. It's not appropriate to show it to you."

Xu Ning put on a difficult expression: "How about this? I obtained a dao weapon in the mystic realm, why don't I take it out and show it to you?"

"Okay!"

Fang Jie looked happy, but deep down, he was afraid of Xu Ning.

He didn't believe that Xu Ning was a fool. He couldn't figure out Xu Ning's current behavior at all.

Xu Ning slowly took two steps forward and closed the distance between the two.

Both sides were silently on guard, afraid that the other party would suddenly attack.

Thump!

After approaching Fang Jie, Xu Ning brought out a pill furnace from his rib storage space.

"This is a dao weapon?"

The excitement in Fang Jie's eyes couldn't be concealed.

Although this pill furnace looked ordinary, it gave Fang Jie a very surreal feeling.

He knew that Xu Ning was not lying. This pill furnace was a genuine dao weapon.

"Yes, this is an all-attribute dao weapon."

Xu Ning's words increased Fang Jie's greed.

"Junior Brother, can I get a closer look at this pill furnace?"

Fang Jie was ready to forcibly erase Xu Ning's mark and take it for himself.

Even if Xu Ning had other intentions, as long as he could obtain his dao weapon, he then would definitely be helpless.

'This pill furnace is really good stuff. Not only can it refine pills, but it can also increase one's strength…'

Fang Jie thought that Xu Ning's sudden increase in strength was due to the pill furnace.

He didn't expect Xu Ning to have more dao weapons.

In Fang Jie's opinion, obtaining one dao weapon was already extremely rare. It was almost impossible for anyone to have two dao weapons.

Because he didn't enter the mystic realm, Fang Jie didn't know the vast amount of resources available in the Demon Beast Scroll.

"Of course, go ahead."

Xu Ning didn't mind the other party's request to touch the pill furnace.

Fang Jie reached out his palm and leaned on the surface of the furnace.

'So this is a dao weapon…'

Fang Jie had already begun to secretly accumulate strength. He wanted to take advantage of Xu Ning's lack of response, ready to erase Xu Ning's manipulation mark at any time.

"Senior Brother, you can look inside the furnace."

Xu Ning suddenly said.

"Okay…"

Fang Jie subconsciously reached out his hand and pinched the lid of the furnace.

The lid of the stove was lifted. Fang Jie instinctively leaned in with his head and glanced inside.

Whoosh!

The moment Fang Jie leaned forward with his head, a fiery sword shadow suddenly burst out from the furnace.

'Not good! Xu Ning is plotting against me!'

Fang Jie instantly realized.

He quickly reacted, but it was too late.

The fiery sword shadow rushed out and pierced towards Fang Jie's forehead.

Fang Jie quickly used all his strength to defend.

But this was too sudden.

Even though he tried his best to avoid the fiery sword shadow, he was still seriously injured.

The fiery red sword pierced through half of Fang Jie's face. The attribute power flowed through the wound and poured into Fang Jie's body.

Fang Jie was instantly injured.

Xu Ning had once obtained three dao weapons from Chen Xiaoyi.

One of the three dao weapons was a fire-attribute sword.

Xu Ning had already imprinted the manipulation mark on this dao weapon, and he was now using it skillfully.

"Xu Ning, you are so evil!"

Fang Jie roared in anger.

He wanted to chop Xu Ning into mincemeat, but he also knew that he was seriously injured, so he was not Xu Ning's opponent at this moment.

Fang Jie quickly forced out the longsword. He then began to try his best to stop the injury.

Afterwards, he called for the raptor demon beast to fly over, wanting to escape.

"You are the same, Senior Brother Fang. You want to kill me for my treasures!"

Xu Ning had already noticed Fang Jie's intention to kill him, so he also secretly prepared to kill him.

Xu Ning's strength was now comparable to Fang Jie's. In some ways, he even had a slight advantage.

After all, Fang Jie was at the peak of the true intent realm and was carefully cultivated by Elder Gujuan, making his strength superior to his peers.

Therefore, if Xu Ning wanted to deal with Fang Jie, he could only take him by surprise and strike first.

Shua!

The flying beast was summoned by Fang Jie, but Xu Ning controlled the fiery red long sword and slashed at it.

Afterwards, countless sword seals and fist seals came crashing down towards Fang Jie.

"Xu Ning!"

Fang Jie was angered by Xu Ning. He no longer cared about his injuries, he just rushed towards Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning responded calmly.

When Fang Jie attacked, Xu Ning counterattacked. The two were equally matched.

However, because Fang Jie was injured, the more they fought, the more Fang Jie was losing.

'No, I have to escape, I have to escape first. After that, I'll have my chance to take my revenge!'

Slowly, Fang Jie woke up and understood the danger he was in.

While thinking about how to escape, Fang Jie ignored the fact that there was a pill furnace behind him.

Bang! Bang!

While Fang Jie was facing Xu Ning, he didn't even notice that the pill furnace behind him suddenly flew up and smashed towards him.

Crack! Crack!

Although the pill furnace did not have much attack power, with such a sneak attack, it could exert a huge amount of force, directly shattering the bones in Fang Jie's body.

Fang Jie screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

Xu Ning took the opportunity to activate his bracer. He also held a long sword and stabbed at Fang Jie with the terrifying power of water and fire.

"I am Elder Gujuan's disciple. Xu Ning, if you kill me, my master will not let you off!"

Fang Jie shouted hysterically.

Xu Ning did not hesitate at all.

From the moment Fang Jie found him and wanted to kill him for his treasure, the situation had been irreconcilable.

Poof!

Three dao weapons displayed their power at the same time, and Fang Jie's life was ended..

Report chapter

Chapter 166: Return to State Feiyun

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

'I did it.'

Xu Ning was not too worried about Fang Jie's previous threats.

Although Fang Jie should have sensed the death of Bao Qiuhua through a special tool, Elder Gujuan would definitely not know about Fang Jie's death. Even if he knew, he would not be able to confirm that Xu Ning was behind it.

There was a limit to the distance for these kinds of tools.

This place was very far from the Yuelan Sect, so the probability of Xu Ning being exposed after killing Fang Jie was very small.

'Fang Jie is indeed the second true disciple of the Yuelan Sect. Even with a dao weapon, I only managed to kill him with a sneak attack.'

However, Xu Ning was satisfied with this result.

Even though he had the support of a dao weapon, he was only in the common seal realm. If he was promoted to the true intent realm, even without a dao weapon, defeating Fang Jie should not be difficult.

Xu Ning put the dao weapon and the dao seal stone tablet away.

Afterwards, Xu Ning discovered some unique pills and artifacts on Fang Jie's body.

The value of these things was not high for Xu Ning, but it still supplemented Xu Ning's reserves. These unique pills and artifacts might be used in the future.

Although he did not obtain anything valuable, Xu Ning was not disappointed.

For Fang Jie to work so hard for a dao seal stone tablet, it meant that he had no valuable treasures.

However, this also showed how wealthy Xu Ning was.

With five dao weapons and two dao seals, even the elders of the Yuelan Sect would not be able to catch up to Xu Ning, let alone a core disciple.

Xu Ning disposed of Fang Jie's body, then summoned the giant eagle demon beast before returning to the Crystal Mansion.

Compared to before, the giant eagle demon beast had become more docile.

It was not far from the battlefield just now, so it saw Xu Ning's terrifying strength with its own eyes.

Especially after Xu Ning killed a mid level void realm demon beast that was stronger than it, the giant eagle was greatly shocked.

While being afraid of Xu Ning, the giant eagle demon beast now knew that Xu Ning was a top human powerhouse.

It was easier to just obediently get some pills that could help it improve.

When a demon beast advanced, it was rare for them to use external help. Alchemists who could refine effective pills for demon beasts were elites among alchemists.

Xu Ning rode the giant eagle demon beast and disappeared into the night.

…

Half a month went by.

The senior members of the Bao family had all returned to the Crystal Mansion.

Over the past half month, everyone in the Bao family felt uneasy.

First, Elder Bao Xinxuan was killed, then Elder Bao Qiuhua disappeared. After that, the Yuelan Sect's core disciple, Fang Jie, left without a word.

This made the Bao family, who had already lost Bao Ruyuan, even weaker.

Everyone in the family was anxious.

The Bao family didn't think anything bad had happened to Fang Jie. When Fang Jie left Yunshu County, he didn't tell anyone.

Bao Shihui even had doubts about this.

He felt that Fang Jie killed Bao Qiuhua, took the dao seal, and left the Bao family.

He even felt that Fang Jie was the one who killed Bao Xinxuan, and that there was no so-called common seal realm martial artist.

This was not out of nowhere. Bao Shihui had never seen the so-called common seal realm martial artist, and after Fang Jie learned that the Bao family had a dao seal, he was very active.

Most importantly, ever since Fang Jie disappeared, the Bao family had not encountered any accidents in the past half month.

According to what Fang Jie said, if someone was targeting the Bao family, shouldn't they launch a crazy assault on the Bao family when they had lost their top combat power?

But the truth was, although the Bao family was restless, they did not suffer any substantial losses.

However, Bao Shihui didn't dare to share this thought at all.

The Bao family was obviously no longer the top family under the Yuelan Sect. Without Bao Ruyuan's position in the Yuelan Sect, the Bao family did not dare to doubt Fang Jie.

If they annoyed Fang Jie or Elder Gujuan, the Bao family would be in great danger.

Therefore, when he reported the disappearance of Grand Elder Bao Qiuhua to the Yuelan Sect, Bao Shihui didn't dare to mention that Fang Jie had come to the Bao family.

In the letter, Bao Shihui had only asked someone from the sect to help investigate the reason for Bao Qiuhua's disappearance.

The news had been sent to the Yuelan Sect half a month ago, so Bao Shihui estimated that the people from the Yuelan Sect should be here soon.

However, not everyone in the Bao family was worried about the current situation.

Bao Weijing was calm.

Although Bao Weijing hadn't seen Xu Ning for the past half month, he guessed that the disappearance of Grand Elder Bao Qiuhua was related to Senior Tao.

Bao Weijing had no feelings for the grand elder.

When he was suffering in the family and when his mother died from depression, those high and mighty elders didn't even look at him.

On the other hand, Senior Tao stepped forward at the lowest point of his life and turned his life around.

Over the past half month, Bao Weijing had been consuming the pills given by Xu Ning.

He knew that the pills given by Xu Ning had no side effects, so he was relieved after eating them.

With the help of the surging medicinal energies, Bao Weijing advanced to the peak of the intention realm. Just one more step and he would be able to break through to the spirit realm, becoming one of the most powerful younglings in the Bao family.

As Bao Weijing's strength continued to increase, more and more people joined him.

Bao Weijing already had a solid position in the Bao family.

Bao Weijing even began to use his influence in the Bao family to target Madam Quan.

The manager who colluded with Madam Quan was arrested by Bao Weijing and interrogated.

Bao Weijing learned from the manager that his mother had passed away because of Madam Quan.

This made Bao Weijing even more furious, and his hatred for Madam Quan increased.

After killing the manager, Bao Weijing began to secretly accumulate strength. After his strength and status improved, he would immediately attack Madam Quan to relieve his years of hatred.

"I have to go see Senior Tao."

After practicing martial arts for another day, Bao Weijing went to the Drunken Spring Pavilion again.

After Bao Weijing came to Xu Ning's room, he found that Xu Ning's room was neat and tidy. It was obvious that he had already put away some of his belongings.

Seeing this, Bao Weijing's heart tightened.

"Senior Tao."

Bao Weijing bowed to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning sat at the table and said, "I'm going to leave soon."

"Senior Tao, you…"

Bao Weijing's expression changed.

Sure enough, after Senior Tao's feud with the family elders was resolved, he was about to leave.

"Senior Tao, can you take me with you?"

Bao Weijing did not hesitate. He instantly knelt down and begged. "Give me three days, no, half a day. When I go back and kill Madam Quan, I will go with you and be at your beck and call. I hope you can agree."

Although the promotion of his family status made Bao Weijing reluctant, he was more willing to follow Xu Ning.

"No need to follow me, I don't lack followers."

Xu Ning refused. "You don't have to be too sad. After this farewell, we might have a chance to meet again."

Xu Ning was not lying to Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing had played a big role in the deaths of Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua. He was also a pawn planted by Xu Ning in the mortal world of State Jifeng.

He might need Bao Weijing's help in the future.

"Really?"

After hearing Xu Ning's words, Bao Weijing was relieved.

Since they could meet again in the future, Bao Weijing could still accept it.

"Of course."

Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle. "The pills I gave you previously are only enough for you to advance to the spirit realm. These pills here should be taken after you advance to the spirit realm."

"With your aptitude, after taking these pills, you will definitely reach the void realm within three months."

Xu Ning wanted to support Bao Weijing to become the head of the Bao family. After all, his strength was the foundation of everything.

"Void realm…"

Bao Weijing took the porcelain bottle with both hands. He felt that everything was unreal.

Even though he was now an intention realm warrior, he still felt that the void realm was far away.

However, Senior Tao gave him a promise that he would be able to enter the void realm.

"You have to improve your realm by yourself, but before you leave, I can also help you stabilize your family status."

Xu Ning asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"Senior Tao, you have done enough for me, I can't repay you enough."

Bao Weijing said sincerely, "I can do the rest myself."

Hearing this, Xu Ning didn't insist.

"In this case, let's meet again."

Xu Ning did not delay any longer. He just sent the guest away.

Bao Weijing left the Drunken Spring Pavilion reluctantly.

"Senior Tao, I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Bao Weijing looked back at the Drunken Spring Pavilion with a firm look in his eyes.

'It's time to return to State Feiyun…'

After seeing Bao Weijing off, Xu Ning had a look of expectation in his eyes.

Once everything was done, Xu Ning left the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

After leaving the Crystal Mansion, Xu Ning called the giant eagle demon beast and flew towards the mountain where the Wei family members were hiding.

"Xu Ning!"

"Brother Xu!"

Wei Changqing and the other two were excited to see Xu Ning.

They all knew that it was time to go home.

"Xu Ning, have you settled the matter in State Jifeng?"

Wei Changqing asked.

"Yes, it's done." Xu Ning nodded and said, "It's time to return to State Feiyun."

Xu Ning's words made Wei Changqing and the others smile.

Afterwards, the four of them got on the back of the giant eagle demon beast together.

The giant eagle demon beast let out a cry and flapped its wings, turning into a black shadow before disappearing in the clouds.

'I'm finally going back…'

Xu Ning looked in the direction of State Feiyun.

Before coming to State Jifeng, he was only a mortal realm warrior, but now he was a high-level void realm martial artist.

"Tao Tao, Sister, Brother-in-law, Guo Ye…"

Familiar friendly faces appeared in Xu Ning's mind.

"I… am coming back!"

Chapter 167: War Crisis, Return to the Tao Village

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

State Feiyun.

Kangyun County.

Tao Village.

"Are you done packing?"

Tao Yunchuan limped in and asked Xu Lian.

"Soon."

Xu Lian responded and continued to pack her things.

Compared to a year ago, Xu Lian was much more haggard now, and her eyes were not as bright as before.

Tao Yunchuan sighed as he looked at his wife. He sat by the door and looked at the chickens in the yard, his eyes showed a tired look.

They were moving away.

Or more precisely, the entire Tao Village was moving away.

A year ago, near Kangyun County, Qiuyun County, and Dingyun County, a war broke out between the Black Armored Guards of State Feiyun and the Shadowblood Sect of State Hurricane.

The war ended with the Black Armored Guards' victory.

However, although they won, the friction between State Feiyun and State Hurricane did not end.

It was not just in the southeast of State Feiyun, the entire border between State Feiyun and State Hurricane was burning in war. The friction between the two sides was getting more and more intense.

In order to ease the internal conflict in State Hurricane, the major sects and families in State Hurricane allied together and began to pressure the Source Sect in State Feiyun, wanting to infiltrate State Feiyun.

The Source Sect obviously wouldn't give in, so the war between the two states became more and more frequent and intense.

After the victory of the war a year ago, the Black Armored Guards stationed their troops and expanded their forces again, taking back Qiuyun County and Dingyun County.

But two months ago, the Shadowblood Sect increased their forces and seized Qiuyun County and Dingyun County again.

Moreover, the enemy forces were aggressive this time, with their numbers and combat power having greatly improved.

After taking over the two counties, they began to move towards Kangyun County.

Faced with an enemy several times stronger than the Black Armored Guards, the new commander of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County gave the order to abandon Kangyun County.

After the Tao Village learned that the Black Armored Guards had abandoned Kangyun County, they finally decided to leave with the entire village.

Now, the three big villages in Kangyun County were completely entangled with the Black Armored Guards.

If the Shadowblood Sect successfully seized Kangyun County, they would inevitably slaughter the people of the three villages who had allied with the Black Armored Guards.

In order to avoid a possible tragedy, the members of the Tao Village could only leave their hometown and find another village to take refuge.

There was still one day before the entire Tao Village would move.

Before dawn tomorrow, the Tao Village would gather all the villagers and move away together.

"Dad, are we leaving tomorrow?"

Tao Tao, who was wearing floral clothing, walked over and asked Tao Yunchuan cautiously.

Tao Tao was almost six years old now. She had grown a little taller compared to a year ago. Her hair had also grown longer.

"Yes, We're leaving tomorrow."

Tao Yunchuan looked at his daughter and nodded.

Tao Tao paused for a moment. She then grabbed the corner of his shirt and asked tentatively, "Then we won't wait for Uncle?"

Tao Yunchuan instantly fell silent.

He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

Xu Lian, who was packing up in the room, also heard Tao Tao's words.

Suddenly, the sound of packing stopped.

Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian still remembered the scene when the Black Armored Guards came home.

Xu Ning had just left home for a few days. He had already gone on his journey to Yunying City.

But one night, a Black Armored Guards suddenly came to visit. The Black Armored Guards told them that Xu Ning and his entourage suddenly disappeared together.

Guards were killed at the place where they had disappeared.

After hearing this news, Xu Lian fainted on the spot.

Her younger brother, whom she had always cared for and placed high hopes on, had disappeared on the road to the future.

Xu Lian thought about what her younger brother had done for the family, and thought about the warm memories of their family. Xu Lian didn't take the blow well. She fell seriously ill, needing several months to recover.

After that, Xu Lian would stand at the entrance of the Tao Village for a long time every day, hoping that Xu Ning could return home.

However, a year had passed since Xu Ning had disappeared.

He no longer entered Xu Lian's vision.

"Your uncle…"

Tao Yunchuan paused for a while before finally saying with difficulty. "He will find us."

"But Uncle doesn't know where we are going…"

Tao Tao asked with a look of disappointment.

Tao Yunchuan didn't know how to respond to Tao Tao.

"Sister Lian, Brother-in-law!"

A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Guo Ye walked into the courtyard.

"Are you guys done packing? Do you need my help?"

Guo Ye walked in front of Tao Yunchuan.

Guo Ye knew about Xu Ning's disappearance.

Guo Ye felt extremely distressed about his friend's predicament.

After that incident, Guo Ye took on the responsibility of being Xu Ning's younger brother.

He would take the initiative to come to his home and help Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan with chores.

Although Xu Ning had left enough money and food for the family, Guo Ye still sent food, clothing, and even supplements from time to time, taking good care of Xu Ning's family.

"It's almost ready."

Xu Lian walked out of the house and helped Tao Yunchuan up.

"Just focus on your family, don't worry about us."

Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan noticed Guo Ye's daily kindness and remembered it in their hearts.

"Sister Lian, Brother-in-law."

After seeing that there was nothing that required his help, Guo Ye continued, "Tomorrow morning, I will bring a donkey carriage over. You should put your luggages on the donkey carriage. On the way to our new home, we can sit together and take care of each other."

After saying that, Guo Ye lowered his voice, "Although there are family guards around us, no one can guarantee that there will not be horse bandits, so staying by my uncle's side is the safest place."

"Thank you, Guo Ye."

Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan expressed their gratitude.

"In this case, I'll leave first."

Guo Ye saw that there was nothing to do, so he left.

"Xu Ning has a good friend…"

After Guo Ye left, Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan continued to pack their belongings.

Tao Tao was squatting at the entrance of the house, holding her face in her hands, staring at the small road ahead.

This was the path Xu Ning used to take when he went home.

…

"We're in State Feiyun!"

Xu Ning and Wei Changqing had arrived at State Feiyun.

After being away from their hometown for a year, they finally returned.

"Uncle Wei, Binglin, Zicheng, I have to go home first."

Xu Ning said to the three of them.

The Tao Village was in the southern part of State Feiyun, closer to State Jifeng.

"Of course!"

Of course they would follow whatever Xu Ning wished to do.

After Xu Ning left State Feiyun, he had no relatives around him.

Although the three of them had been tortured, they were always around each other.

"Huh?"

After crossing the border between State Jifeng and State Feiyun, the giant eagle demon beast flew for a while.

Xu Ning looked down at the ground and noticed something strange.

"Another war?"

Xu Ning saw the fortifications on the ground and the garrison troops.

Xu Ning's heart tightened. He began to worry about his family.

Without him, the family had no ability to resist such a war.

"Little Gray, hurry up!"

Xu Ning urged the giant eagle.

The giant eagle demon beast had gray feathers, so it was named Little Gray.

After hearing Xu Ning's order, Little Gray flapped its wings faster.

…

At the entrance of the Tao Village.

Although the entire Tao Village would be moving to another village tomorrow, the guards in the village were still very strict.

The leader of the patrolling guards today was Tao Yunmeng, who was in the mortal realm fourth stage.

Tao Yunmeng was the pillar of the Tao Village. He had helped Xu Ning a lot before.

"Cheer up!"

Tao Yunmeng shouted to the patrolling village guards. "The situation in Kangyun County has been chaotic recently, with many horse bandits looting everywhere. Two days ago, before the Tan Village moved, due to carelessness, they were robbed by horse bandits, causing a lot of damage and even casualties."

"Therefore, we must take precautions to prevent the horse bandits from robbing us!"

"Yes!"

The guards also had serious expressions.

They all knew about the current situation. Everyone was alert to ensure the safety of the entire village.

Caw!

Suddenly, there was a cry in the sky.

The voice was loud and clear, while giving off a sense of oppression.

Tao Yunchuan and the patrolling guards all felt pressured by the new presence.

"What is that?"

A sharp-eyed guard saw a black shadow flying towards the Tao Village.

"That is…"

Tao Yunmeng was quite strong, so he could see clearly.

He saw that it was a giant gray eagle, and it was flying towards the Tao Village.

"Not good!"

Tao Yunmeng's expression changed drastically. He instantly realized that danger was approaching. "It's a demon beast!"

"Demon beast?!"

After hearing Tao Yunmeng's words, the legs of the guards trembled.

They were all ordinary people. Most of them had only practiced external skills, with very few practicing internal skills.

"Quick, tell the clan elders!"

Tao Yunmeng quickly ordered.

Although Tao Yunmeng felt that the clan elders might have also already noticed the giant eagle, he still sent someone to warn them.

"Get ready!"

Tao Yunmeng shouted.

However, Tao Yunmeng didn't know what to do.

Faced with such a terrifying demon beast, he didn't even know how to defend himself.

Huhuhu!

The giant eagle demon beast was landing.

The strong gusts of wind made Tao Yunmeng and the guards behind him lose their balance.

'So scary, what level is this demon beast?'

Tao Yunmeng couldn't even open his eyes.

In addition to the powerful gusts of wind, the pressure from the giant eagle demon beast also made Tao Yunmeng feel nervous.

This kind of oppression was not even something the Village Head could give off.

The giant eagle landed on the ground.

Tao Yunmeng was on guard.

He clenched the long knife in his hand and looked carefully.

However, he saw a familiar figure on the back of the giant eagle demon beast.

"Xu Ning?!"

Chapter 168: The Clan Elders' Shock, Reunion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Tao Yunmeng saw the figure on the giant eagle, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The news of Xu Ning's disappearance on the way to the Source Sect, and whether he was dead or alive had long spread throughout the Tao Village.

When Tao Yunmeng first heard about this, he was extremely distressed.

He was the first person in the Tao Village who was optimistic about Xu Ning's future.

When Xu Ning stood out among the Black Armored Guards, Tao Yunmeng was gladdened by his own vision.

Xu Ning's disappearance even made Tao Yunmeng and the entire Tao Village's higher ups depressed for a long time.

Judging by Xu Ning's achievements, his disappearance was a major loss for the Tao Village.

However, Xu Ning was back.

Not only did he return, but he also rode a terrifying demon beast.

Compared to before he disappeared, he seemed to have become stronger.

"Uncle Meng!"

After a long time, when Xu Ning saw Tao Yunmeng, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Xu Ning jumped down and arrived in front of Tao Yunmeng.

"Xu Ning, you're back!"

Tao Yunmeng was also excited. He hugged Xu Ning's shoulders and patted Xu Ning's back. "What happened to you? Why haven't we heard from you in a year?"

"Uncle Meng, it's a long story, I'll tell you when I have the time."

Xu Ning still respected Tao Yunmeng.

When he was weak, Tao Yunmeng had helped him a lot.

"Okay!"

Tao Yunmeng was very happy.

Xu Ning was fine, and he was obviously stronger as well.

In this case, even if the entire Tao Village needed to move to a foreign land, as long as Xu Ning was still alive, there was still hope of revival.

"Yunmeng, where is the demon beast?"

Tao Jingxing, the head of the Tao Village, rushed over with Tao Jingfang, Tao Jinglu, and other clan elders.

Just before this, they were still discussing the migration tomorrow, but suddenly, they felt a terrifying aura approaching the Tao Village.

As high level warriors, they clearly sensed danger.

The clan elders were all shocked, and they quickly rushed over.

Afterwards, on the way to the entrance of the village, they encountered a village guard who reported that a terrifying demon beast had flown to the Tao Village.

Hearing this, the group of clan elders quickened their steps and came to the entrance of the Tao Village.

They first saw the giant eagle outside the village.

And because the giant eagle demon beast was huge and emitted a terrifying aura, they noticed it at first glance.

Just when they were thinking about how to fight against the beast, they suddenly noticed that Tao Yunmeng was next to them, and that he was holding a young man in his arms.

"You are… Xu Ning!"

After seeing Xu Ning's face, the clan elders were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed.

Xu Ning had been deemed as the hope of the Tao Village. And now that he had returned safely, the clan elders were relieved.

"Clan Head, clan elders!"

When Xu Ning saw the familiar faces, he greeted them one by one.

"Commander Wei?"

Tao Jingxing saw Wei Changqing and the other two behind Xu Ning.

Wei Changqing and the other two also got off Little Gray's back and stood behind Xu Ning.

"Clan Head Tao, long time no see!"

Wei Changqing cupped his fists and smiled.

When he was the commander of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County, he had interacted with Tao Jingxing.

However, back then, Wei Changqing had a high status, so Tao Jingxing was very humble in front of him.

But now, Xu Ning's status had changed, so he was now a friend to Tao Jingxing.

"What happened in the past year?"

Tao Jingxing and the clan elders were also full of questions.

"Clan Head, I won't talk about this with you guys, I want to go home first."

Xu Ning said.

"Yes, yes, go home first, go see your sister and your brother-in-law!"

Tao Jingxing quickly said.

"Clan Head, please take care of the three of them."

Xu Ning said.

"Of course, of course!"

Tao Jingxing quickly responded.

In Tao Jingxing's heart, Wei Changqing and the others were still members of a big family in Yunying City. They still had a lot of respect for them.

"Little Gray!"

Before going home, Xu Ning turned his head and looked at the terrifyingly huge Little Gray. "You stay outside the village and guard it."

Little Gray nodded obediently and flapped its wings.

Afterwards, Xu Ning rushed home.

"That demon beast listened to Xu Ning?"

After Xu Ning left, Tao Jingxing and the other clan elders looked at each other.

'That demon beast should be a high level mortal realm demon beast, right?'

Tao Jinglu stretched his head and looked at Little Gray from a distance, not daring to approach.

Wei Changqing shook his head and smiled. "That giant eagle is a void realm demon beast."

"What? A void realm demon beast?!"

Tao Jingxing, Tao Jinglu, Tao Yunmeng, and the others all felt dizzy.

They looked at Wei Changqing and stared into his eyes, as if to confirm whether Wei Changqing was speaking the truth.

"Yes, it is a void realm demon beast."

Wei Changqing gave them an affirmative answer.

Tao Jingxing's mouth moved. He hesitated for a moment before finally asking tentatively, "That demon beast is so strong, but it still listened to Xu Ning… Xu Ning…"

After Tao Jingxing asked this question, Tao Jinglu, Tao Jingfang, Tao Yunmeng and the others also perked up their ears.

"Xu Ning has long reached the void realm."

Wei Changqing gave another affirmative answer.

Everyone felt their blood rushing to their heads.

Void realm!

This was a legendary realm in Kangyun County.

In the eyes of the warriors in Kangyun County, only in big places like Yunying City and Source Sect would there be such an existence. But now, a void realm warrior had appeared in an ordinary village!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tao Jingxing's face was flushed red and his eyes were extremely bright. "With Xu Ning here, it seems that our Tao Village doesn't have to leave our homeland!"

"Yeah!"

The clan elders said.

They had lived in Kangyun County for a hundred years, and no one was willing to leave.

However, in order to avoid the war, they had to make the decision to move.

But now, a void realm warrior had appeared in the Tao Village, increasing their battle power.

Xu Ning alone could help Kangyun County!

"Move out of our homeland?"

Wei Changqing looked confused:-. "Why are you moving away?"

Wei Changqing and the others were relatively weak, so when they were on Little Gray's back just now, they did look down at the ground, but they couldn't see the fortifications on the ground and the garrison troops.

"A war has gotten more intense."

Tao Jingxing explained while leading the way, "Come, Commander Wei, let's find a place to rest first. We can talk while sitting…"

"Okay."

Wei Changqing responded.

Wei Changqing and the other two were a little tired.

…

At this time.

Tao Tao was still squatting outside the house.

She was still holding her face in both her hands, stubbornly looking at the road in front of her.

It was afternoon, causing the sun to shine on Tao Tao's face, making her face red.

Suddenly, Tao Tao noticed a long shadow on the road.

Tao Tao looked up, but the sun was too bright for her to see clearly.

Tao Tao reached out her hand and put it above her eyes, blocking the sunlight.

A familiar figure stopped a few steps in front of Tao Tao.

After Tao Tao saw the face, her small body stiffened.

She rubbed her eyes hard, and the person was still there.

Tao Tao stood up, walked to the person, and carefully poked him.

It was a person, a physical being, not an illusion.

Tao Tao wanted to laugh, but she suddenly burst into tears.

"Uncle!"

Tao Tao hugged Xu Ning's leg and cried.

"Tao Tao, I'm back!"

Xu Ning picked Tao Tao up and hugged her.

Xu Ning felt like he had never left Tao Tao.

He reached out his hand and tidied Tao Tao's messy hair.

"What happened?"

Footsteps came from the courtyard.

When Xu Lian heard Tao Tao's cries in the room, she quickly came out to check.

The moment Xu Lian saw Xu Ning, she froze.

When Tao Yunchuan walked out, he was also stunned.

"Sis, Brother-in-law, I'm back."

Xu Ning smiled warmly.

Xu Lian's face was full of tears. She couldn't say a word.

Tao Yunchuan was overjoyed: "Great, welcome home!"

"Sorry for worrying you all."

Xu Ning's tone was full of guilt and apology.

Xu Ning could see from the eyes of his family that his disappearance had impacted them greatly.

Fortunately, everything was over.

"What do you want to eat?"

Xu Lian wiped away her tears. She didn't ask Xu Ning what he had experienced over the past year.

"Pancakes."

Xu Ning thought back to when he first came to this world.

"Okay, I will make you some pancakes."

Xu Lian wanted to go up to him.

But she felt like she couldn't control her emotions when facing Xu Ning.

Tao Yunchuan accompanied Xu Ning into the house.

"Tao Tao, go get your Uncle Ye."

Tao Yunchuan said to Tao Tao, who was still lying on Xu Ning's body.

Tao Tao quickly got off Xu Ning and ran out of the house to find Guo Ye.

"Guo Ye did a lot when you were away…"

Tao Yunchuan said, then fell silent.

Xu Ning noticed that Tao Yunchuan's hand was trembling.

"Brother-in-law…"

Xu Ning knew that he had to let his family calm down first, so he didn't talk about his experience over the past year.

"Eat this."

Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle.

Inside the porcelain bottle was the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill that Xu Ning had previously refined for Tao Yunchuan.

"What is this?"

Sure enough, Tao Yunchuan calmed down a little.

However, Xu Ning's next words made Tao Yunchuan's heart tremble.

"This is a pill. After you swallow it, it can completely heal your old injuries."

"Completely heal my old injuries?"

Tao Yunchuan was in a daze. "You mean, my arms and legs can be like a normal person?"

"Yes."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded.

Tao Yunchuan looked at the porcelain bottle.

He carefully took the porcelain bottle and stared at it..

Chapter 169: One Man Can Defend One Side

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"I don't want this pill."

After looking at the porcelain bottle for a while, Tao Yunchuan unexpectedly placed the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill on the table.

"Brother-in-law, what are you…"

Xu Ning was puzzled.

"I've been like this for twenty years, I'm used to it."

Tao Yunchuan said, "Moreover, if this pill of yours has such an effect, it is definitely not an ordinary pill. It is too wasteful for me to swallow it. As a warrior, injuries are common. It is better for you to use this as your guarantee."

Tao Yunchuan's words made Xu Ning feel a little sad.

"Brother-in-law, this pill is called the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill. It may be a rare treasure for others, but for me, it is not that precious."

Xu Ning said, "I personally refined this Youth Regaining Vitality Pill."

"You know how to refine pills?"

Tao Yunchuan looked at Xu Ning in surprise.

Before he was injured, he had cultivated martial arts, so he knew about the lofty status of an alchemist.

"I have experienced a lot this year, and I have gained a lot."

Xu Ning said, "Brother-in-law, you have to take this Youth Regaining Vitality Pill. For my sister and Tao Tao, you have to do this. You don't want to be taken care of for the next few years, right?"

Xu Ning's words hit Tao Yunchuan's heart.

Tao Yunchuan was not afraid of suffering, but he couldn't bear to see his family suffer.

"Are you sure you can refine this pill?"

Tao Yunchuan confirmed.

"Of course."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I can also refine other pills. When your body recovers, I will refine some pill to strengthen your body to let you practice martial arts again."

"No need…"

Tao Yunchuan quickly shook his head, then looked at the Youth Regaining Vitality Pills on the table with a look of expectation in his eyes.

'In this case, I shall use this pill…'

Tao Yunchuan was a little embarrassed.

Xu Ning opened the porcelain bottle and handed it to Tao Yunchuan. "There are a total of six pills in here. Swallow three pills first, then swallow one every other day. After swallowing all of them, in half a month, when the medicinal effect is completely absorbed, you will completely recover."

Tao Yunchuan's hand trembled slightly as he grabbed the porcelain bottle.

After smelling the strong medicinal fragrance wafting out from the porcelain bottle, Tao Yunchuan poured out the three Youth Regaining Vitality Pills and swallowed them.

Three Youth Regaining Vitality Pills instantly dissolved inside Tao Yunchuan's mouth, turning into a warm current that went directly into Tao Yunchuan's abdominal cavity.

Tao Yunchuan felt his body warm up.

Especially his injured arm and leg.

"My arm, my leg…"

Tao Yunchuan felt his old injuries starting to itch.

It seemed that his flesh, muscle, and bones were starting to heal.

"Brother-in-law, how do you feel?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I feel full of strength like my arms and legs are at my beck and call."

Tao Yunchuan's expression was a little gleeful.

He stood up and began to stretch his muscles, trying to pace back and forth in the room.

"Nice, nice!"

Tao Yunchuan's movements were much more flexible than before.

Although he was far from being completely healed, he was obviously in a better state than before.

Tao Yunchuan walked faster and faster. As he walked, he felt the heat in his abdominal cavity continue to surge to every part of his body. The feeling of his old injuries healing was becoming more and more real.

After a while, Tao Yunchuan's movements became a lot more agile.

Tao Yunchuan also noticed that the scars on his hideous old wounds were smoothed out, as if they were wiped away.

"Xu Ning, I…"

After feeling the changes in his body, Tao Yunchuan suddenly didn't know how to express it.

The life of a normal person he had lost twenty years ago seemed to have returned.

"Brother-in-law, calm down, in half a month, you will completely recover. You will be able to run and jump like a normal person."

Xu Ning comforted Tao Yunchuan.

"The pancakes are ready!"

Xu Lian moved quickly.

She walked into the house with the pancakes and saw Tao Yunchuan walking slowly in the house.

Xu Lian noticed that Tao Yunchuan, who used to walk with a limp, was now walking like a normal person, but his movements were still slow and sluggish.

"Yunchuan, what are you…"

Xu Lian looked at her husband in a daze.

She had never seen Tao Yunchuan like this.

She had brought Xu Ning into the Tao Village, and when she first married Tao Yunchuan, Tao Yunchuan was already injured.

"My old injuries are healed!"

Tao Yunchuan looked at his wife and smiled, revealing his teeth. "Xu Ning gave me a kind of pill that can heal my old injuries. In half a month, I will be like a normal person!"

"Okay, okay."

Xu Lian's eyes were red again as she kept repeating "okay".

Xu Ning was happy to see Xu Lian so happy.

"Ah Lian, go kill another chicken, make a dish and take out the wine. When Guo Ye comes later, let's have a good meal!"

Tao Yunchuan suddenly changed his words. "No, I will go, I will go personally."

Tao Yunchuan was fascinated by the feeling of regaining control of his limbs.

More than half an hour went by.

Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, Tao Tao, Guo Ye, and Xu Ning sat together at the dining table.

When Guo Ye heard Tao Tao say that Xu Ning was back, he quickly ran over.

After seeing his missing good friend returning safely, Guo Ye was so excited that he couldn't control himself. After a while, his emotions stabilized.

"Guo Ye, when I was not here, thank you for taking care of my sister, my brother-in-law, and Tao Tao, let me give you a toast."

Xu Ning poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, then thanked Guo Ye.

Although the difference in their strength and status was huge, Xu Ning still had the same attitude when facing Guo Ye.

"You're welcome."

Guo Ye also drank the wine in one gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he looked at Xu Ning. "Xu Ning, what have you experienced in the past year?"

After Guo Ye asked, Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, and even Tao Tao, who was eating chicken feet, put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Xu Ning.

"It's a long story."

After Xu Ning saw this, he briefly explained his experience over the past year.

However, Xu Ning skipped some details.

He only said that because of the Wei family members, he was taken to State Jifeng to do some manual labor. Afterwards, he cleverly escaped and joined a sect before improving greatly in his martial arts.

When the time was right, he rescued the three Wei family members and returned home.

Xu Ning avoided talking about the danger and just described his gains.

However, although Xu Ning said this, everyone at the table also knew that Xu Ning's trip did not go so smoothly.

He had obviously suffered a lot.

"It's all in the past, at least now we're together again."

Xu Ning stopped talking about this topic.

"Yes, everyone is reunited again."

Guo Ye said before pausing, "By the way, Xu Ning, the entire village is moving away tomorrow, so help Sister Lian pack her stuff."

"We are moving away?"

Xu Ning was surprised.

He thought about it. When he was walking in the village just now, some of the villagers had already placed their belongings in the courtyard and sorted them out.

"Yeah…"

Guo Ye then explained the situation in Kangyun County, Dingyun County, and Qiuyun County.

Xu Ning now understood why there were defensive fortifications and a fight between the garrison troops.

"I see…"

Xu Ning finally knew everything.

"Don't worry about moving. I will find the Clan Head to discuss this matter again."

Xu Ning said to his family and Guo Ye.

"Xu Ning, what do you mean?"

Guo Ye was puzzled.

Although Xu Ning said that his strength had greatly improved, in Guo Ye's opinion, he had only grown to a level similar to the leader of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County. He couldn't imagine a higher realm.

"You will know soon."

Xu Ning continued to eat with his family.

After dinner, Xu Ning didn't stay at home, he instead went to find Tao Jingxing.

Tao Jingxing and the other clan elders were still eating with Wei Changqing and the other two.

"Clan Head, clan elders."

Xu Ning walked straight in.

Everyone didn't mind Xu Ning's sudden intrusion.

After knowing that Xu Ning had advanced to the void realm, all of the Tao Village elders were even more enthusiastic about Xu Ning.

He even vaguely saw Xu Ning as the core of the Tao Village, even though Xu Ning was an outsider.

"I already know about the plan for the village to relocate and the current situation."

Xu Ning said, "I can resolve this situation. Clan Head, you just need to inform the clan to stop the entire village from moving. Leave the rest to me."

"Okay, thank you!"

Tao Jingxing planned to explain the situation to Xu Ning later, but Xu Ning took the initiative to request this.

After knowing that Xu Ning had advanced to the void realm, Tao Jingxing knew that the Tao Village and even Kangyun County were safe.

"Clan Head, who is in charge of Kangyun County now?"

Xu Ning asked.

"He is Commander Wei Changqing's nephew, Wei Bingqi."

Tao Jingxing said.

Wei Changqing also added, "Wei Bingqi is the son of my brother, and is also Bing Lin and Zicheng's cousin. The reason he came here to be the commander of the Black Armored Guards was to wait for news from the three of us."

Tao Jingxing had told Wei Changqing about this.

"In this case, let's go to the Black Armored Guards in the county city and ask about the situation."

Xu Ning said.

"Okay, let's go now."

Wei Changqing immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Xu Ning left with the Wei family members.

Only the clan elders of the Tao Village were left at the table.

"Xu Ning is growing too fast…"

Tao Jingfang sighed.

"Yeah, I taught him his internal skill."

Tao Jinglu responded.

"Clan Head, can Xu Ning really stabilize the situation?"

A clan elder asked.

Tao Jingxing pondered for a moment. "The power of the void realm…"

"One person can defend one side.."

Chapter 170: Void Slaying Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kangyun County.

Black Armored Guards Commander Mansion.

"Commander Wei, are we really giving up Kangyun County?"

Qu Dayou asked the young man in front of him.

The young man looked to be in his thirties. He was tall and had a face similar to Wei Changqing and Wei Binglin.

This person was Wei Bingqi, who replaced Wei Changqing to become the commander of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County.

"Yes, Master Commander, although the other side has the numbers advantage, we shouldn't abandon the city without a fight, right?"

Xia Yuanxing spoke.

Ning Fengwen was next to Xia Yuanxing.

The upper echelons of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County were all gathered together.

Hearing the doubts around him, Wei Bingqi was not impatient at all.

"Indeed, if they have only the numbers advantage, we can still defend this city."

Wei Bingqi said, "But this time, there is a factor in the battle that we can't resist."

"According to my spies, a void realm martial artist has arrived in the Shadowblood Sect camp."

"A void realm martial artist?"

The three captains looked at each other.

The three people who were suspicious of Wei Bingqi's cowardice all fell silent.

If a void realm existence suddenly appeared on the mortal realm battlefield, the battle would be completely tilted to one side.

A void realm martial artist could no longer be resisted by pure mortal realm martial arts.

"Do you really think I'm willing to give up Kangyun County?"

Wei Bingqi sighed. "My third uncle and my cousin are definitely still alive. I came here to wait for news of their appearance. However, not only did they not appear, but I also gave up the city that my uncle was protecting. I am more powerless than you."

"What I can do now is to preserve the strength of the Kangyun County's Black Armored Guards and protect the safety of the people in the city."

Wei Bingqi continued, "Moreover, I have requested my family for help again. I hope they can also send a void realm martial artist to oversee the city. If a void realm martial artist can come, then even if we abandon the city, we can still fight our way back."

"Commander Wei, we were too impatient just now."

After Wei Bingqi explained everything, Qu Dayou and the others now understood.

Faced with a void realm martial artist, they could only retreat.

Wei Bingqi looked at the three captains and didn't say anything else.

Although he said that he had already requested his family for help, Wei Bingqi knew very well that the possibility of his family sending a void realm martial artist was low.

Kangyun County was not an important base of the Wei family. The only connection between the Wei family and Kangyun County was that Wei Changqing had been here before.

Therefore, the arrival of a void realm martial artist was just an unlikely expectation.

However, right at this time, a sharp cry echoed through the clouds.

Wei Bingqi and the three captains were all high level warriors in the mortal realm, but they instantly felt the suppressive force on their mortal realm cultivation.

"No way, the family really sent a void realm martial artist? And so quickly too?"

Wei Bingqi was puzzled.

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Wei Bingqi walked out of the room first.

The three captains followed behind him.

He saw a giant eagle demon beast hovering above the commander mansion, flapping its wings.

The giant eagle demon beast landed, allowing the four people to see the figures on the giant eagle's back.

"Uncle? Binglin? Zicheng?"

Wei Bingqi thought he was seeing things. He quickly shook his head to confirm that he was not hallucinating.

Their guards were killed and Wei Changqing and the other two disappeared. The Wei family thought that Wei Changqing and the others had little chance of survival.

After searching for a while, except for Wei Bingqi who insisted on coming to Kangyun County to wait, everyone else in the family had given up.

Wei Bingqi also didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect them to come back.

"Commander Wei, Xu Ning!?"

The three Black Armored Guards were also surprised. They not only saw Wei Changqing, but also Xu Ning.

"Bingqi, the three captains!"

The four jumped off the eagle's back and quickly gathered together.

"Uncle, you all are…"

Wei Bingqi was very excited.

He had a good relationship with his uncle and sister-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Kangyun County alone.

"We were captured by a traitor, but thanks to Xu Ning's advancement to the void realm, we were saved!"

Wei Changqing explained.

"Void realm? Xu Ning?"

The three captains looked at each other.

Although the three of them were optimistic about Xu Ning's talent, they didn't expect Xu Ning to break through to the void realm in just a year.

"Thank you, Brother Xu!"

Wei Bingqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him.

He knew that a young man named Xu Ning went missing with his uncle, but he didn't care at the time.

"Brother Xu saved my uncle and sister-in-law, you are the benefactor of the Wei family. The Wei family will repay you in the future!"

Wei Bingqi quickly made a promise.

70% of his gratitude towards Xu Ning came from his heart and 30% was out of kindness.

A void realm warrior who was less than 20 years old was considered a core disciple in the Source Sect.

"Brother Wei."

Xu Ning cupped his hands in response. "Let's not talk about this first. I heard that the war ahead is critical, have you decided to abandon the city?"

The three captains' eyes immediately lit up.

They could tell from Xu Ning's words that Xu Ning wanted to protect Kangyun County.

"Yes."

Wei Bingqi responded, "A few days ago, my spies sent news over that the Shadowblood Sect has sent a void realm martial artist. We are no match for this level of existence."

"But Brother Xu, if you are willing to guard Kangyun County, then we don't have to abandon the city. Even if they have the numbers advantage, we can still successfully defend the city."

Wei Bingqi said to Xu Ning.

"Kangyun County is my hometown, so I will definitely protect it."

Xu Ning first expressed his attitude, then asked, "Brother Wei, do you know where the void realm martial artist of the Shadowblood Sect is?"

"He is now in Dingyun County."

Although Wei Bingqi didn't understand why Xu Ning suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully.

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded. "Brother Wei and the three captains, please gather the army and prepare to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County."

"Brother Xu, what do you mean?"

Wei Bingqi was puzzled.

"Wait for my news."

Xu Ning got on Little Gray's back again. "Little Gray, go southeast!"

After receiving the order, Little Gray flapped its wings and flew away, turning into a black shadow before disappearing.

"Brother Xu…"

Wei Bingqi reacted. "Brother Xu went to find a void realm martial artist from the Shadowblood Sect?"

"Uncle…"

Wei Bingqi looked at Wei Changqing blankly. "He…"

"Listen to Xu Ning."

Wei Changqing was extremely confident in Xu Ning. "He is not any normal martial artist in the void realm."

"Xu Ning must have gone to solve the problems brought by the void realm martial artist. Listen to him, gather the army and prepare to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County."

"You don't have to worry about Xu Ning's strength. Don't forget that the giant eagle under him is also a void realm demon beast."

Wei Changqing's words gave Wei Bingqi and the three captains confidence.

"In this case, captains, go and gather the army. As soon as Brother Xu gives us the good news, we will send out our troops!"

Wei Bingqi was holding a sword, his tone full of confidence.

"Yes!"

The three captains obeyed.

…

At the same time.

Dingyun County.

Shadowblood Sect camp.

"Everyone, I was ordered by the deacons of the Shadowblood Sect to come here, to take over all ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun!"

On the camp field, a middle-aged man wearing a blood red robe and holding a blood-patterned wooden cane stood on a high platform.

Below the high platform were troops.

They were wearing blood-colored light armor, holding spears and knives, full of fighting spirit.

These troops were all mortal elites sent by the Shadowblood Sect from State Hurricane. They were also responsible for seizing the main force of the ten counties in State Feiyun.

The elite warriors of the Shadowblood Sect all looked at the blood-robed man on the high platform with reverence.

They all knew that this blood-robed man was a void realm martial artist.

As long as they followed him, they would be able to take down all ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun.

Once they won the war, they would receive great rewards.

"Dingyun County and Qiuyun County are already in our hands."

The blood-robed man continued, "I plan to completely seize the remaining eight counties in three months."

"Tomorrow, we will attack Kangyun County first!"

"This will definitely be an easy victory. I have heard that the people in Kangyun County are already in a state of panic. Many people have begun to leave their homes. Even their leaders have made plans to abandon the city!"

"We can easily crush such an enemy."

The blood-robed man's eyes had a hint of ruthlessness. "If we can win tomorrow, I will reward you all with three days of plundering in Kangyun County, and allow you to practice the Shadow Breath Blood Passage freely during this period!"

As soon as the blood-robed man said this, the Shadowblood Sect soldiers below all had greedy eyes.

Practicing the Shadow Breath Blood Passage required blood as a supplement.

Usually, when they practiced, they often lacked blood.

However, the blood-robed man promised to let them practice freely, which meant that they could slaughter as they pleased, obtain blood, and improve their cultivation in the Shadow Breath Blood Passage.

Looking at the excited Shadowblood Sect soldiers, the blood-robed man smiled with satisfaction.

The deacon of the sect had promised him that if he could successfully take over the ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun, he would be given 20 Blood Trace Pills to help him break through to the true qi realm.

The blood-robed man knew that his potential was limited, so he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

However, just when he was looking forward to obtaining the Blood Trace Pills, he suddenly heard a sharp eagle cry.

The blood-robed man raised his head subconsciously and saw a giant gray eagle demon beast swooping down at him with a figure on the eagle's back.

Shua!

Before the blood-robed man could react, he saw a flash of light.

Pata.

The blood-robed man's head rolled off his shoulder..

Chapter 171: Retaking Two County, Cultivating Tao Tao and Guo Ye

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Pata.

The blood-robed man's head rolled, but his body only fell off the platform after a few seconds.

The fanaticism and greed in the eyes of the Shadowblood Sect soldiers in blood-red armor had completely disappeared, replaced by confusion, fear, and other complex emotions.

In front of their eyes, the void realm leader who was going to lead them to attack the ten counties in the southeast of State Feiyun was easily killed.

This visual impact made them feel surreal.

They wanted to escape, but they discovered that the terrifying power of the void realm made everyone lose control of their bodies. Their legs and feet couldn't move at all.

The giant eagle demon beast slowly descended onto the high platform.

It closed its wings and raised its head. Its red eyes were full of indifference as it looked down at the Shadowblood Sect soldiers who were completely terrified.

The aura of a void realm demon beast on Little Gray's body was released, covering the entire field.

Xu Ning slowly stood up.

The Shadowblood Sect soldiers then saw Xu Ning.

They could only see the outline of Xu Ning's body.

"I am Xu Ning from Kangyun County."

Xu Ning's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the venue.

The Shadowblood Sect soldiers felt a heavy blow to their hearts.

"You must leave Dingyun County and Qiuyun County within half a day."

Xu Ning glanced at everyone. "If there are still people from the Shadowblood Sect who haven't left in half a day, then don't blame me for killing you one by one."

In fact, with Xu Ning's current strength, it would only take a few seconds for him to slaughter everyone on the field.

However, there were more than ten thousand soldiers stationed at the Shadowblood Sect, so it was meaningless to kill these hundreds of people.

Moreover, the Shadowblood Sect had no shortage of ordinary mortal soldiers.

He might as well let them go back and spread their fear to others, completely disrupting their morale.

Whoosh!

After he said that, Little Gray began to flap its wings.

The strong wind blew the Shadowblood Sect soldiers around.

Xu Ning grasped the air with one hand and the blood-robed man's head floated into his hand.

Little Gray flew high in the sky, leaving the Shadowblood Sect soldiers in chaos.

At this time.

Kangyun County.

The troops waiting outside the city had just begun to gather outside the city.

Large numbers of Black Armored Guards and garrison city guards gathered outside the city.

"Are the enemies outside of the city?"

"Why did the Black Armored Guards mobilize…"

"…"

There was a commotion in the city. Those who were still in the city were all worried.

"Don't panic!"

"Black Armored Guards and city guards gather, prepare to counterattack!"

A city guard began to ride a horse and stabilize the mood of the citizens.

"They are going to counterattack?"

"It seems that Kangyun County is safe!"

The city guard's method of stabilizing people's hearts was very effective.

Outside the city.

"Master Wei, the troops should be assembled in half an hour."

Ning Fengwen, Qu Dayou, and Xia Yuanxing stood behind Wei Bingqi.

Wei Changqing and the other two did not appear here.

"Wait for Brother Xu's news."

Wei Bingqi looked in the direction of Dingyun County.

As soon as he finished speaking, they suddenly saw the giant eagle demon beast flying towards them.

"Brother Xu is back so soon?"

Wei Bingqi was surprised and a little worried. "Could it be that the enemy is too strong, causing Brother Xu to not succeed?"

Little Grey had already landed in front of them.

"The void realm martial artist of the Shadowblood Sect has been killed. We can send our troops at any time!"

After Xu Ning landed, he threw the blood-robed man's head at the feet of Wei Bingqi and the others.

"Huh?"

Wei Bingqi and the others subconsciously avoided the head and took a few steps back.

Looking at the bloody head, Wei Bingqi and the others were stunned.

Xu Ning returned with the head of the other side's void realm martial artist.

"Brother… Brother Xu…"

Wei Bingqi gulped and asked tentatively, "Your strength is…"

In fact, it was inappropriate to ask about someone else's realm.

Even Wei Changqing did not ask Xu Ning directly.

But Xu Ning's impact on Wei Bingqi was too great, which made Wei Bingqi curious about Xu Ning's strength.

"Common seal realm."

Xu Ning said directly.

"Common seal?"

Wei Bingqi felt his body stiffen, as if his blood had stopped flowing.

'He advanced from the mortal realm to the void realm seventh stage?'

This talent could no longer be described as terrifying.

If Xu Ning was placed in the Source Sect, he would be the number one genius ever since the establishment of the sect.

Even Wenren Jin, who had risen in the Source Sect in recent years, was not on the same level as Xu Ning.

Wei Bingqi thought that Xu Ning would be in the true qi realm or the qi realm. He didn't expect Xu Ning to be in the common seal realm.

The strength of a common seal realm warrior was comparable to a grand elder in his family.

"Common seal?"

Compared to Wei Bingqi, Qu Dayou and the other two were a little confused.

They were not born in a big family like Wei Bingqi, so their knowledge was relatively shallow. They barely knew anything about the void realm, so they couldn't understand how Wei Bingqi had almost died from shock.

"Brother Wei, you can now order the army to set off. In half a day, when we reach the two counties, we should be able to easily take over."

Xu Ning said to Wei Bingqi.

"Oh… okay…"

Wei Bingqi was still a little numb.

"Good luck."

Xu Ning knew that his mission was complete, so he didn't stay any longer.

Afterwards, Little Gray flew away with Xu Ning.

"Commander Wei, what realm is the common seal realm?"

After seeing Xu Ning leave, Qu Dayou whispered to Wei Bingqi.

Wei Bingqi pursed his lips and answered simply, "Void realm seventh stage."

When Qu Dayou and the other two heard this, they instantly became like Wei Bingqi.

"Okay, let's not waste time, let's go!"

Wei Bingqi also reacted. "Take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County!"

With Wei Bingqi's orders, the Black Armored Guards and the city guards stationed in Kangyun County were dispatched to the two counties.

The process of taking back the two counties was much easier than Wei Bingqi had initially expected.

When they arrived at the two counties, the Shadowblood Sect stationed troops were all gone.

Xu Ning had cast a huge shadow on the Shadowblood Sect soldiers.

They had no choice but to escape.

Because of Xu Ning, the difficult situation in the southeast of State Feiyun was easily reversed.

A day later, news came that the Black Armored Guards had captured two counties.

The residents of Kangyun County who were worried about their personal safety all breathed a sigh of relief. The city and the citizens were full of enthusiasm.

As for Xu Ning, he just returned to the Tao Village and continued to reunite with his family.

A few days went by.

Tao Tao and Guo Ye were in Xu Ning's house.

"Xu Ning, why did you call me here?"

Just now, Xu Ning had asked Tao Tao to call Guo Ye to come to their house.

Xu Ning ignored Guo Ye and took out two porcelain bottles.

"One bottle for each of you, eat the pills inside."

Xu Ning spoke in a commanding tone.

"Medicinal pills? You can't eat this stuff, right?"

Guo Ye was quite cautious.

But Tao Tao had already leaned forward and reached out her hand to take the porcelain bottle.

Pop ~

Tao Tao opened the cork.

A strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the room.

"It smells so good!"

Tao Tao was already salivating. She quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then pointed the bottle towards her mouth and raised her head.

The pills rolled into Tao Tao's mouth and flowed into her stomach.

"So hot!"

Tao Tao held her stomach with a regretful expression.

She had obviously melted the pills before she even tasted it.

"Uncle Ye, you're not eating them? If you're not eating, then I'll eat them."

Tao Tao glanced at the porcelain bottle on the table, then glanced at Guo Ye.

"I'll eat!"

Guo Ye quickly grabbed the porcelain bottle.

Guo Ye also smelled the medicinal fragrance just now, which made his mouth water.

Guo Ye swallowed the pill.

'This feeling…'

After swallowing the pills, Guo Ye felt comfortable.

"What kind of pills are these?"

Guo Ye asked Xu Ning.

"A type of pill that builds your martial arts foundation."

Xu Ning replied.

"Then if I eat it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

After Guo Ye heard this, he suddenly felt regretful. "My martial arts talent is already so poor. It's useless even if I eat it!"

Xu Ning smiled and shook his head. "It's okay."

The reason why Xu Ning fed Tao Tao and Guo Ye these pills was to prepare them for their martial arts path.

Moreover, Xu Ning had already formulated a different cultivation plan for the two.

Tao Tao was young and had great potential. He could build a good foundation for her and improve her aptitude, then steadily improve her strength in the future.

As for Guo Ye, he was older and his martial arts aptitude was extremely poor. Xu Ning had already planned to use pills to increase his strength.

Since the upper limit was not high, Xu Ning was not afraid of him consuming too many pills, deteriorating Guo Ye's potential.

"Take this internal skill."

Xu Ning threw out an internal skill book called .

With Xu Ning's current foundation, taking out an internal skill book suitable for Guo Ye was not difficult.

"Light Miao Technique…"

Guo Ye took it and glanced at the cover with a frown.

"From today onwards, you have to come to my house every day, and I will teach you this internal skill."

Xu Ning said.

"Huh?"

Guo Ye instantly looked conflicted. "Forget it, I…"

"After eating my pills, you still want to say forget it?"

Xu Ning sneered.

Guo Ye felt that he had been tricked, so he just resigned himself to fate. "Okay…"

"What about me?! What about me?!"

Tao Tao quickly said, "Uncle, what should I practice?"

"You?"

Xu Ning flicked Tao Tao's forehead: "You are still young, wait a bit longer."

"No!"

Tao Tao immediately objected. "I also ate pills."

"Um…"

Xu Ning pursed his lips and pretended to think. "Okay, I will teach you a set of basic external skills you can practice first."

"Okay!"

Tao Tao grabbed her pigtail and tilted her head, her eyes lit up..

Chapter 172: Liu Yijian's Old Injury

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A few days went by.

Inside the house, Guo Ye was sweating profusely as he practiced the Gale Knife Technique, while Tao Tao was practicing a routine.

Xu Ning stood at the side and looked at the two.

"Xu Ning, this is enough. I feel that my Gale Knife Technique has improved a lot."

Guo Ye felt his back aching, and every time he swung, he felt his muscles tearing.

Over the past few days, Guo Ye practiced the Light Miao Technique under Xu Ning's coercion. And because he swallowed high-quality basic pills, his strength soared.

In just a few days, Guo Ye had reached the mortal realm third stage.

Guo Ye was overjoyed.

Xu Ning noticed that since Guo Ye had improved too quickly, he sometimes couldn't control his body perfectly, so Xu Ning let Guo Ye practice the Gale Knife Technique, in order for him to regain the feeling of perfect control over his body.

Guo Ye did not like to practice external skills.

Because compared to internal skill cultivation, his improvement was not visible to the naked eye.

Practicing external skills could only rely on one's own perception, which made Guo Ye feel abnormally tortured.

"Far from it…"

Xu Ning did not give Guo Ye any face. "Your knife technique is not in the elementary realm. You will definitely be defeated in a few moves against other inner enrichment warriors."

"I didn't want to fight anyone…"

Guo Ye felt miserable.

"Uncle Ye, practicing martial arts requires perseverance."

Tao Tao walked over, looked up at Guo Ye, and said in an adult-like tone. "My uncle said that only with perseverance can one become a master."

Guo Ye felt embarrassed after being scolded by Tao Tao. He grabbed Tao Tao's pigtail. "Go play in the mud."

"No, I want to continue practicing martial arts."

Tao Tao began to practice again.

Xu Ning taught Tao Tao a set of external skills.

Practicing this set of external skill would not harm the body, nor would there be any particularly large increase in strength, but it would accelerate Tao Tao's absorption of medicinal properties.

Tao Tao was still far too young and her body was too fragile. She had to build a good foundation before she could practice martial arts.

The sun rose higher and higher, and soon it was noon.

"Yunchuan, slow down!"

A voice came from outside the courtyard.

"I'm fine!"

Tao Yunchuan walked in with an axe in his hand and two bundles of firewood on his shoulders.

His thin shirt was soaked in sweat, but he had a smile on his face.

Xu Lian followed him into the courtyard.

"Look at your brother-in-law, he went to chop firewood all morning."

Xu Lian sounded like she was complaining, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Ever since Tao Yunchuan regained his mobility, he liked to work hard.

Early this morning, he took Xu Lian to the back mountain to chop firewood.

Tao Yunchuan ignored Xu Lian's complaints. He put down the firewood and threw down the axe. "Guo Ye can eat at home today, I will cook some dishes for you."

"No, Brother-in-law, I'm going home."

When Guo Ye saw Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian return, he quickly wanted to retreat.

He just wanted to take a shower and sleep on his bed.

Guo Ye fled in a hurry.

Xu Ning shook his head helplessly. Guo Ye was not good at martial arts.

"Xu Ning, you are now a big shot in Kangyun County."

After Guo Ye left, Tao Yunchuan said to Xu Ning, "When your sister and I were walking on the road, there were people constantly coming up and talking to us."

The news of Xu Ning saving Kangyun County and helping the Black Armored Guards to take back Dingyun County and Qiuyun County had spread throughout the Tao Village.

"Look at how great you are…"

Xu Lian smiled and looked at Xu Ning. "I met someone who praised you. Hearing the praise, your brother-in-law's back immediately straightened, as if he is the one being praised."

Xu Ning saw the two bickering. He didn't interrupt. He just felt warm in his heart.

After his return, especially after Tao Yunchuan was treated, the atmosphere at home began to become more lively.

"Okay, go cook."

Xu Lian gently pushed her husband away.

"I'll go right now."

Tao Yunchuan ignored his physical fatigue and went straight into the kitchen.

The family of four ate lunch with four dishes and a soup.

After lunch, Xu Ning didn't stay at home any longer. He called Little Gray and went to the Yunze Mountains.

Xu Ning had been back in Kangyun County for some time. He had met most of his old friends, including his former subordinate Feng Sigua.

Two days ago, Feng Sigua came to visit with his wife and children.

Xu Ning gave Feng Sigua some pills and some ordinary things, which made Feng Sigua grateful.

This time, Xu Ning went to the Yunze Mountains to see Liu Yijian.

Xu Ning did not have a deep relationship with Liu Yijian, but he had given Xu Ning a Thousand Source Egg.

Although the Thousand Source Bug was basically dispensable to Xu Ning now, Xu Ning still remembered the gift.

If it weren't for the Thousand Source Bug on his body, Xu Ning might still be working in the Fire Crystal Mine.

Little Gray carried Xu Ning and soon arrived at Luoyue Lake in the depths of the Yunze Mountains.

"Who came to visit me?"

As soon as Grey landed, Liu Yijian walked out of his courtyard.

He held a walking stick in his hand with a cautious look in his eyes.

When he was in the room just now, Liu Yijian felt a terrifying aura approaching.

The owner of the aura was much stronger than him.

"Xu Ning greets Senior Liu!"

Xu Ning jumped off Little Gray's back and cupped his fists towards Liu Yijian.

"It's you?"

Liu Yijian obviously didn't expect Xu Ning to come.

"You are back?"

Liu Yijian knew about the disappearance of Xu Ning and Wei Changqing.

After they disappeared, the Wei family sent someone to ask Liu Yijian.

When Liu Yijian heard this news, he felt quite regretful.

"Yes, Uncle Wei, Binglin, Zicheng, and I came back a few days ago."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"What happened to you all?"

Liu Yijian asked as he invited Xu Ning into his courtyard.

After entering the house, Xu Ning explained his experience with Wei Changqing and the other two.

"Xu Ning, I was right about you."

Liu Yijian praised Xu Ning.

Liu Yijian saw that Xu Ning was special, so he gave him the Thousand Source Egg.

"Cough…"

Liu Yijian coughed lightly.

Xu Ning frowned. In fact, when he saw Liu Yijian just now, Xu Ning noticed that he seemed to have some old ailments.

Liu Yijian was a martial artist in the fifth stage of the void realm. A martial artist of this level would not suffer from illnesses unless they were seriously injured.

"Senior Liu, you seem to have a chronic illness?"

Xu Ning asked tentatively.

When Liu Yijian heard this, he hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head: "It's like this… A few years ago, I encountered a high level void realm demon beast. I escaped with difficulty, but I was injured in the process, causing these problems in my body."

"The reason why I lived in seclusion in the depths of the Yunze Mountains was to avoid the noise and heal my injuries, but the effect was not good."

Liu Yijian seemed to have no hope of healing his injuries.

Xu Ning thought about it and said, "Senior Liu, can I check your injuries?"

"Oh?"

Liu Yijian knew that Xu Ning was being kind, so he didn't refuse. "Take a look."

Liu Yijian rolled up his sleeves and placed his arm on the table.

Xu Ning put his fingertips on Liu Yijian's pulse and activated his internal qi to enter Liu Yijian's body.

'This true qi…'

The moment Liu Yijian felt Xu Ning's true qi entering his meridians, his expression changed slightly.

Although he did not use his attribute power, just the strength of his true qi made Liu Yijian understand how powerful Xu Ning was.

'This should be the true qi strength of a martial artist in the common seal realm!'

Liu Yijian looked at Xu Ning's young face. He suddenly felt like a new generation had replaced the old.

'His injuries are indeed serious.'

Xu Ning also noticed that between Liu Yijian's meridians and flesh, there was a lot of water element power.

The attribute power was stubborn as it was embedded inside Liu Yijian's body.

As long as the water attribute power was still there, Liu Yijian's true qi and attribute power would be affected.

Not only would it prevent him from using his full strength, but his life force would also be damaged.

'No wonder Senior Liu chose to live in seclusion. He can't continue to travel around.'

Xu Ning began to activate the fire attribute power in his body. Together with his true qi, he drilled into Liu Yijian's meridians and flesh to cleanse the water attribute power.

"It works!"

Xu Ning discovered that under the repeated washing of his fire attribute power, the water attribute power in Liu Yijian's body was quickly being consumed.

'The residual water attribute power in my body is disappearing!'

Liu Yijian also noticed this situation.

He looked a little excited, even his wrists were trembling slightly.

Liu Yijian had completely lost hope in his injuries. He didn't expect Xu Ning's test to have such an excellent effect.

'A Thousand Source Egg granted me such a benefit.'

A year ago, Liu Yijian never expected such a result.

He just wanted to form a good relationship with Xu Ning, hoping that Xu Ning would remember his kindness.

He just didn't expect that Xu Ning would give him such a big reward in just a year.

After half an hour, Xu Ning stopped.

The water attribute power in Liu Yijian's body had been completely cleansed by Xu Ning.

However, the damage caused by the attached force was still not healed yet.

"Senior Liu, take this pill."

Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Liu Yijian: "After taking the pill inside, you need to rest for another 30 days before your injuries can be completely healed."

The pill Xu Ning took out was a type of restoration pill that aimed to heal attribute damage.

This pill was not refined by Xu Ning. Xu Ning had taken this from Fang Jie's body. It was now useful.

"Um, I…"

Liu Yijian seemed embarrassed.

"Senior Liu, just accept it."

Xu Ning said, "The Thousand Source Egg you gave me back then had helped me a lot."

Liu Yijian's tone had a hint of shame.. "Then I'll accept it…"

Chapter 173: Going to Yunying City, Wei Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Yijian took Xu Ning's medicinal pills.

He held the porcelain bottle tightly in his hand.

"Xu Ning, you will return to your sect in State Jifeng, right?"

Liu Yijian put away the pills and asked.

Xu Ning had told Liu Yijian about his experience.

"I have to go back."

Xu Ning said, "I plan to stay at home for a few more days. After that, I will go to Yunying City before returning to State Jifeng."

With Xu Ning's current situation, he couldn't stay in a small place like Kangyun County forever.

It was impossible for Xu Ning to obtain sufficient resources here to improve.

The stronger Xu Ning was, the more resource abundant his environment had to be.

"Speaking of which…"

Xu Ning pondered for a moment. "Senior Liu, I have a request."

"Please ask."

After hearing Xu Ning's words, Liu Yijian's expression became serious.

He didn't know how to thank Xu Ning just now, but now that Xu Ning was asking him for something, Liu Yijian obviously had to seize the opportunity.

"After I leave Kangyun County, there will be no masters to guard the village behind me. If possible, I hope you can take care of the Tao Village and Kangyun County when I leave my hometown."

Xu Ning said his request.

Xu Ning was most worried about his family's safety.

"Of course."

Liu Yijian agreed readily. In his opinion, this was a trivial matter.

"In a few days, I will refurbish this place, then move into the Tao Village."

Liu Yijian continued, "I have been away from the mortal world for too long. This is the best chance for me to integrate into the mortal world."

"Thank you, Senior Liu."

Xu Ning smiled, a weight was finally off his shoulders.

If Liu Yijian personally oversaw the Tao Village, then the Tao Village and even the entire Kangyun County would be taken care of.

After all, Liu Yijian was a void realm fifth stage martial artist. Xu Ning would feel completely at ease with him around.

Afterwards, the two continued their conversation until Xu Ning thought it was finally time for him to leave.

After returning to the Tao Village, Xu Ning began to teach Tao Tao and Guo Ye martial arts.

This kind of life made Xu Ning feel relaxed and comfortable.

However, the comfortable time was coming to an end.

Half a month later, Xu Ning chose to leave home again and go to Yunying City.

As a member of State Feiyun and a high level void realm warrior, Xu Ning had a deep desire to visit Yunying City and the Source Sect.

This time, he would take the opportunity to learn more about Yunying City and the Source Sect while also sending the Wei family members home.

Although Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, Tao Tao, and Guo Ye knew that Xu Ning would leave, they were still reluctant to part.

But compared to the previous time they separated, they were less worried this time.

They all knew that Xu Ning's growth was beyond their ability to worry about.

Before leaving, Xu Ning left behind enough medicinal pills.

These medicinal pills would lay a martial arts foundation for Tao Tao, aid Guo Ye's martial arts advancements, and improve his sister and brother-in-law's physique.

After these making arrangements and welcoming Liu Yijian, Xu Ning took Wei Changqing, Wei Bingqi, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng to Yunying City.

…

Two days went by.

Kangyun County was not close to Yunying City. But because they rode on Little Gray, the void realm demon beast, they traveled extremely fast.

Traveling day and night, they reached Yunying City in just two days.

"So this is Yunying City…"

Xu Ning could see the tall city gates of Yunying City. It was a crowded city.

This was the first time Xu Ning had seen such a prosperous scene.

"Finally home!"

Wei Changqing and the others were overjoyed.

The three people who were abducted felt it more clearly.

When they were imprisoned, they thought about Yunying City countless times in their sleep.

They thought they would never be able to return, but they had finally returned home.

"Sir, please stop!"

Xu Ning wanted to ride Little Gray and fly directly into the city.

But just as they were about to cross the city wall, several flying demon beasts on the city wall took off and flew over with several Black Armored Guards on them. They stopped Xu Ning and the others.

"Sir, I am a Black Armored Guard of Yunying City."

The leader of the flying demon beast took the lead to explain his identity. He then persuaded, "This may be your first time in Yunying City, so you might not know the rules. In Yunying City, unless you have a designated certificate of identity from the Source Sect, you are not allowed to fly into the city. Also, your flying demon beast is also not allowed to enter the city. I hope you can abide by this rule."

The leader of the Black Armored Guards had a humble attitude.

He knew very well that someone who could control a void realm demon beast was definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, the young man in front of him intimidated him with just one glance from his eyes, which made the leading Black Armored Guard feel extremely afraid.

"As expected of the Source Sect, the rules are indeed strict."

Xu Ning looked at the Black Armored Guard leader.

This person was a void realm second stage true qi realm martial artist, but he was only the leader of the city gate guards, which made Xu Ning feel emotional about the Source Sect's strength.

'The difference between the Black Armored Guards in Yunying City and the Black Armored Guards in ordinary county cities is huge.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

"Since this is the rule of the Source Sect, then as an outsider, I should abide by it."

Xu Ning did not force his way in.

For him, there was no need to fight with the Black Armored Guards here just to show off his status as a strong warrior.

The leader of the Black Armored Guards was relieved when he saw that Xu Ning was so easy to talk to.

Prior to this, many masters from other states traveled here, and some of them just scoffed at the rules of Yunying City. They got into conflicts with the Black Armored Guards, and even fought.

It was rare for people to take the initiative to be understanding.

"Thank you."

The Black Armored Guard leader said with cupped fists.

Afterwards, Xu Ning asked Little Gray to land outside the city. After the five of them came down, Xu Ning asked Little Gray to find a place to stay outside the city.

Before leaving, Xu Ning gave Little Gray a few medicinal pills that had demon beast characteristics.

Little Grey was now a demon beast at the peak of the void realm elementary stage. Breaking through to the void realm intermediate stage was right within its grasp.

Xu Ning gave these medicinal pills to help Little Gray cross over this barrier.

After eating the medicinal pills, Little Gray also felt that its advancement was imminent, making it extremely happy.

After rubbing its head on Xu Ning's body, Little Gray spread its wings and flew away to find a place to complete its advancement.

"Xu Ning, these are the rules of the Source Sect, don't mind them."

Wei Changqing was afraid that Xu Ning would hold a grudge so he explained to him, "Even members of the Wei family have to follow the rules of Yunying City. Everyone is treated the same."

Although Wei Changqing knew that Xu Ning was open-minded, he was still worried that Xu Ning would feel unhappy.

After all, the younger a powerful warrior was, the more arrogant and decisive they were.

Most people would be dissatisfied if they were stopped and made to abide by their requests.

"It's fine. Since it's a rule, I'll just follow it."

Xu Ning didn't care.

Seeing this, Wei Changqing was relieved. "In this case, let's quickly enter the city."

"When we were still in Kangyun County, I already told my family that we will return in a few days. They should have been waiting for us."

Wei Bingqi said.

After that, they entered the city.

Walking on the wide streets, Xu Ning felt the rich and colorful life of the residents in Yunying City.

"The Source Sect is truly unique to have set the location of their sect in this prosperous city."

According to what Xu Ning knew, in State Jifeng, almost all sects, like the Yuelan Sect, would build their sect in a place with very few people.

Under the Wei family members' lead, Xu Ning arrived at the Wei Mansion.

"Tell the Family Head that we are back."

Wei Changqing said to the guard with a trembling voice.

"You are…"

The guard looked at Wei Changqing, then his eyes widened as he looked at the people behind him.

"Third Young Master, Young Master Sun, Young Miss Sun, you… you are all back!"

The guard was an old man from the Wei family, so he recognized their identities with a single look.

"I'll report it right away!"

The guard quickly entered the mansion.

"Xu Ning, please."

Wei Changqing took the initiative to welcome Xu Ning.

Xu Ning followed Wei Changqing through the gate and entered the mansion.

Halfway through, more than a dozen people suddenly ran into the mansion.

The person in the lead had white hair and a beard, but he looked energetic and tall.

His face was similar to Wei Changqing's.

"Changqing, Binglin, Zicheng!"

The old man looked excited, and he quickly walked forward.

"Dad."

"Grandpa."

Wei Changqing and the others finally reunited with their family.

After the reunion, Wei Changqing seemed to remember something. He quickly grabbed the old man's sleeve and brought him to Xu Ning. "Dad, this is Xu Ning. He saved us."

"Greetings, Family Head Wei."

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

When Wei Changqing and the others reunited with each other, Xu Ning stood aside quietly.

"Little Friend Xu Ning!"

The old man quickly cupped his fists with a sincere attitude. "I am Wei Xingfeng, the Head of the Wei family. Thank you so much for saving the members of the Wei family. You are our Wei family's great benefactor."

Wei Bingqi's letter to the family had already explained the situation.

Wei Xingfeng not only knew that Xu Ning had saved them, but also knew that Xu Ning was a martial artist in the same realm as him.

His attitude towards Xu Ning was 70% gratitude and 30% admiration.

"You're too kind, Family Head Wei."

Xu Ning said, "Uncle Wei took good care of me in the past, and Binglin and Zicheng are my friends. There is no such thing as a benefactor between us."

After Xu Ning said this, Wei Xingfeng and the members of the Wei family behind him suddenly had a better impression of Xu Ning.

"No matter what, we have to thank you."

Wei Xingfeng said, "Let's invite Xu Ning to the parlor first. I will prepare a lunch banquet later to specially thank you."

With that, Wei Xingfeng took the Wei family members and accompanied Xu Ning into the mansion..

Chapter 174: Wei Family Gift, Return of the Dao Seal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Accompanied by Wei Xingfeng and other higher-ups of the Wei family, Xu Ning enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

In addition to the plates of demon beast meat, there were also some rare spirit fruits and spirit herbs. Ordinary void realm martial artists would benefit after eating them.

Of course, for Xu Ning, he ate this meal just for the taste of it.

After the banquet, Wei Xingfeng personally led Xu Ning to his study.

"Little Friend Xu Ning."

After closing the door, Wei Xingfeng made some arrangements. After making sure that their conversation would not be overheard, he spoke.

"To show my gratitude, I decided to give you something, I hope you can accept it."

Wei Xingfeng fumbled around the bookcase, then the bookcase slowly opened like a door, revealing a secret room.

The secret room was not big. There was only one stone platform in the room, and on the stone platform was a damaged long knife.

The surface of the long knife had many dents and there were several obvious cracks.

But looking at the edge of the blade, it still gave off a cold murderous intent.

"This is a damaged dao weapon with all attributes."

Wei Xingfeng carefully picked up the damaged long knife with both hands and handed it to Xu Ning. "Although its power is damaged, it is still beneficial for a void realm martial artist to have it. Although you can't kill a higher realm enemy with it, you can be invincible in the same realm."

"Damaged dao weapon with all attributes?"

Xu Ning took the damaged long knife and gently wiped the blade with his finger.

'Family Head Wei is quite generous.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

He already had five dao weapons in his hands, so Xu Ning was not interested in this dao weapon.

This damaged long knife was useless even in Xu Ning's hands. He had no need for it.

However, this did not negate the value of the damaged long knife and Wei Xingfeng's generosity.

Although a damaged dao weapon with all attributes was not attractive to him, other void realm martial artists, and even those in the void realm ninth stage true domain realm, would be tempted.

For the Wei family, this damaged long knife was extremely valuable.

'Xu Ning is still calm and composed after hearing the words 'dao weapon', how impressive.'

Wei Xingfeng sighed.

After taking out the damaged long knife, Wei Xingfeng had been observing Xu Ning's expression.

'There are only two possibilities for him to have this kind of composure. Either he has an extremely strong mental state and is extremely confident in his own strength, or he has seen a real dao weapon before, or even has a real dao weapon…'

The more Wei Xingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Ning was unfathomable.

In fact, although Xu Ning had saved Wei Changqing and the other two, the damaged dao weapon was still too precious to be given to him.

Wei Xingfeng did this not only to thank Xu Ning, but also to maintain a good relationship with Xu Ning.

The current Wei family was under the control of the Source Sect in Yunying City, making it inconvenient to do things. There were many restrictions, and there were few talented descendants in the family.

As such, Wei Xingfeng was a little worried about the Wei family's future.

Under such circumstances, if he established a stable friendship with Xu Ning, then the situation would be very different.

With Xu Ning's martial arts aptitude, it was almost certain that he would advance to the void realm ninth stage true domain realm. Once this happened, the future development of the Wei family would be much smoother.

"Thank you, Family Head Wei."

Xu Ning looked at the damaged long knife several times before returning it to Wei Xingfeng.

Accepting a useless weapon in return for owing a favor was not worth it.

"This…"

Although Wei Xingfeng discovered that Xu Ning was not interested in this damaged dao weapon, he was still quite surprised to see Xu Ning returning the gift.

"As I said before, there is true friendship between me, Uncle Wei, Binglin, and Zicheng. There is no need for gifts."

Xu Ning declined.

Wei Xingfeng saw that Xu Ning was really not tempted, so he thought for a moment. He then placed the damaged long knife back on the stone platform before taking out a ring from his sleeve.

The ring was made of a milky white crystal which had a simple design, but it looked luxurious.

"Since Little Friend Xu Ning doesn't want a dao weapon, I will give this to you."

Wei Xingfeng placed the plain ring on Xu Ning's hand. "Don't refuse this time."

"Huh?"

The moment Xu Ning touched the plain ring, he felt a sense of familiarity.

There was a stream of energy flowing inside the ring, and that energy seemed to be related to the power of the void.

"This is a storage ring."

Wei Xingfeng seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning wouldn't understand, so he explained, "The so-called storage ring is a ring that can store items independently. In this ring, there is an independent space. Except for living things, you can place anything you can put inside."

"This storage ring was refined by my dao realm ancestor. The raw material is a special kind of void crystal, which is very rare. With this storage ring, it will be much more convenient to travel around."

Xu Ning finally looked surprised.

This storage ring had the same function as his rib storage space.

Prior to this, Xu Ning had been thinking that the space in the rib storage space was getting more and more cramped. He didn't expect Wei Xingfeng to give him a storage ring.

Xu Ning poured a wisp of true qi into the storage ring.

'It's also about ten cubic meters.'

Xu Ning looked at it and thought. 'This storage ring is also a rare object, and its value is much higher than the damaged dao weapon.'

Xu Ning thought about it, then said, "Family Head Wei, I really need this storage ring. I will accept your gift."

"Just accept it."

After seeing Xu Ning accept the storage ring, Wei Xingfeng felt relieved before letting out a smile.

This also showed that Xu Ning had accepted his kindness.

"Family Head Wei."

After Xu Ning accepted the storage ring, he said, "Since you have given me a treasure, I too have something to return to you."

Wei Xingfeng raised his eyebrows. He seemed puzzled.

"Something to return to me?"

"That's right."

Xu Ning brought out the dao seal stone tablet that he had snatched from Bao Qiuhua's hand from his rib storage space.

"This is?"

When he saw Xu Ning take out the stone tablet, Wei Xingfeng was shocked.

He was shocked not because he recognized the dao seal stone tablet, but because of the way Xu Ning brought it out.

There was nothing in the storage ring he gave Xu Ning just now. And since Xu Ning brought out a stone tablet in this way, it meant that Xu Ning had a storage equipment in his hand.

'This Xu Ning is really unfathomable…'

Wei Xingfeng sighed.

Xu Ning took out the dao seal stone tablet this way meant he no longer wanted to conceal his storage equipment.

Wei Xingfeng had already given him a storage ring, so there was no need to hide his methods.

"What is this?"

Wei Xingfeng walked to the stone tablet and looked at it carefully. However, he did not recognize it.

Because the dao seal stone tablet had not been completely unsealed, Wei Xingfeng could not sense the wind attribute dao seal.

But when he approached the dao seal stone tablet, Wei Xingfeng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"This is the dao seal stone tablet left behind by the Wei Clan's dao realm ancestors."

Xu Ning said to Wei Xingfeng.

"What!?"

After Wei Xingfeng heard Xu Ning's words, his expression changed instantly.

"The dao seal stone tablet of the Wei family ancestor was lost when we moved from other states to State Feiyun."

Wei Xingfeng seemed to be in disbelief.

"Yes, it was indeed lost at that time."

Xu Ning said, "After a while, it finally got into the hands of one of the martial arts families in State Jifeng."

"After the martial arts family obtained the dao seal stone tablet, they speculated that its unsealing method required the blood of the Wei Clan, so they abducted Uncle Wei and the others."

Xu Ning said, "After I rescued Uncle Wei and the others, I grabbed the stone tablet as well. Now, it's time to return it to the Wei family."

Wei Xingfeng didn't know what Xu Ning was talking about.

Wei Changqing and the others did not transcribe this information on the letter they had sent back.

Although Wei Changqing knew that they were abducted because of the dao seal, he didn't know what a dao seal was, nor did he know that the stone tablet Xu Ning seized was the dao seal itself.

"This… this…"

Wei Xingfeng's heart was beating fast.

Even though he was in the common seal realm, he still felt that his breathing was getting out of control.

This dao seal stone tablet was too significant for the current Wei family.

There were two common seal realm martial artists in the Wei family.

One was Wei Xingfeng himself, who had just entered the common seal realm, and the other was the Grand Elder of the Wei family, who was already at the peak of the common seal realm.

If these two common seal realm martial artists were placed elsewhere, they would definitely be overlords.

But the Wei family was situated in Yunying City.

In Yunying City, the Source Sect was the true master. In addition to the Source Sect, there were many big families.

The strength of the Wei family was not enough.

Whether it was Wei Xingfeng or the Grand Elder, they were stuck in their current realm and couldn't advance any further.

They all knew that without external help, they might never improve in their lives.

Wei Xingfeng and the Grand Elder had also tried to borrow someone else's dao seal, but they were rejected.

A dao seal was precious even to the Source Sect. It could not be borrowed by others.

However, in Wei Xingfeng's opinion, the nearly impossible to borrow dao seal was delivered to his hands by Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning…"

Wei Xingfeng tried his best to calm down. "This is too precious…"

Wei Xingfeng knew that although this dao seal stone tablet belonged to his ancestors, it had fallen into Xu Ning's hands. Strictly speaking, it belonged to Xu Ning now.

"This originally belongs to the Wei family. There's no such thing as too precious, you should accept it."

Xu Ning smiled and said to Wei Xingfeng.

Although a dao seal was precious, it was useless to Xu Ning.

Moreover, this dao seal stone tablet had not been completely unsealed.

Xu Ning couldn't bring himself to use the blood of the Wei family to unseal the dao seal stone tablet.

Thus, he might as well take advantage of the gift and return another gift back to him..

Chapter 175: Void Realm Eighth Stage, True Intent Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"In this case, I will accept this dao seal."

Wei Xingfeng knew very well that once he obtained this dao seal, the Wei family's future would be much brighter.

First of all, the Grand Elder at the peak of the common seal realm would be more likely to break through the shackles of the common seal realm and advance to the true intent realm.

Even he had the opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to the true intent realm.

Once someone in the family advanced to the true intent realm, the Wei family's status in Yunying City would also rise.

Moreover, with a dao seal, it would benefit the entire Wei family for a long time.

"This dao seal has not yet been completely unsealed. Family Head Wei, you should be able to find a way to unseal it by yourself."

Xu Ning reminded him.

"Little Friend Xu Ning, I heard from Changqing that you plan to stay in Yunying City for a while?"

Wei Xingfeng calmed down, put away the dao seal stone tablet, and asked Xu Ning.

"That's right."

Xu Ning said, "I have a lot of expectations for the Source Sect, and I want to find an opportunity to experience the glory of the Source Sect."

"This is not difficult."

Wei Xingfeng said, "In two months, the Source Sect will hold this year's sect conference, and the Wei family will also be invited. Xu Ning, you can just follow us."

"Thank you in advance."

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

"You're welcome."

Wei Xingfeng waved his hand. "During the time you are in Yunying City, you can stay in the Wei family. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."

"Okay."

Xu Ning did not hesitate.

The exchange of gifts brought the relationship between Xu Ning and the Wei family closer.

…

Half a month later.

Wei family.

At a villa.

Inside the villa, there were dozens of servants and maids, all sent by Wei Xingfeng to wait on Xu Ning.

After living with the Wei family for a while, Xu Ning did not immediately tour around Yunying City. Instead, he asked the Wei family to sell the medicinal pills he had refined and exchange it for raw materials.

Because of the environmental restriction, it had been more than three months since Xu Ning advanced to the common seal realm. Currently, he only had 20,000 energy units.

He was still 25,000 units of energy away from advancing to the void realm eighth stage true intent realm.

Xu Ning sold medicinal pills in exchange for raw materials in order to quickly accumulate enough energy and advance to the true intent realm.

Inside the house.

The door was closed.

Xu Ning sat cross-legged on the mat with a pill furnace in front of him.

Xu Ning controlled his water and fire attribute power to refine the medicinal pills.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

When it was time, the pill furnace opened and several pure white pills popped out. Xu Ning caught them all, and he then absorbed all the energy through the Martial Arts Panel.

'My energy reserves are full!'

After absorbing enough energy, Xu Ning decided to begin his advancement to the true intent realm.

After opening the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning's energy reserves had reached 57,800 units.

He had gotten nearly 60,000 units of energy because he was in Yunying City. If he was in any other place, it would be difficult to gather so much in such a short time.

Even in Yunying City, Xu Ning was only able to obtain sufficient supplies because of the Wei family's channels.

But even so, Xu Ning's large purchases of raw materials for medicinal pills had led to a shortage of spirit medicine in Yunying City.

Xu Ning pressed on the "" sign next to the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.

…

Consume 45,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

"Yes!"

Xu Ning clicked yes.

Afterwards, Xu Ning felt the attribute power in his body stagnate slightly, before continuing to rotate slowly.

There seemed to be a layer of invisible force attached to the attribute power in his body.

The invisible force was a sublimation of attribute power.

'The attribute of true intent!'

Xu Ning smiled.

He had successfully advanced to the true intent realm.

When he fought against Fang Jie who was in the true intent realm, Fang Jie's attribute power was comparable to him in the common seal realm. But when Fang Jie's true intent was attached to his attribute power, he easily suppressed Xu Ning's attribute power.

If he didn't have a dao weapon and relied on an ambush, Xu Ning wouldn't have been able to kill Fang Jie.

'I'll improve the four secret techniques and the Life Pill Sutra.'

Xu Ning's four secret techniques and the Life Pill Sutra were all at the sixth level.

Advancing a secret technique from the sixth level to the seventh level required 2500 units of energy, which added up to 12,500 units of energy.

Xu Ning used up his energy to advance them all.

The Martial Arts Panel refreshed.

…

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll (Void Realm Eighth Stage: True Intent Realm)

Water Cross Sword (Seventh Level)

Bright Fire Sword (Seventh Level)

Tidal Fist (Seventh Level)

Flame Breath Bone Sutra (Seventh Level)

Life Pill Sutra (Seventh Level)

Available Energy: 300 units

…

After using up all the energy to advance his skills, Xu Ning's strength was greatly improved.

'After advancing through the Martial Arts Panel, I will reach the peak of each realm after each advancement.'

Xu Ning thought to himself. 'In addition, I have a dao weapon with all attributes, so I am not afraid of a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist. Even if the other party has a dao weapon, they can't kill me with just them alone.'

'With my current strength, no one can endanger my life unless a dao realm master comes or there are several true domain realm martial artists with dao weapons!'

Xu Ning was full of confidence.

As such, in the nearby states such as State Feiyun, State Jifeng, State Hurricane, no one could defeat Xu Ning except for a dao realm master.

It could be said that Xu Ning was at the peak of these states.

This feeling made Xu Ning feel extremely relieved.

"Phew…"

Xu Ning took a deep breath and stood up. 'Since I have advanced to the true intent realm, and the raw materials and spirit herbs for refining medicinal pills are relatively scarce for now, I shall now relax and go take a tour around Yunying City.'

Xu Ning walked out of the room and left the villa.

"Brother Xu!"

Just as he walked out, Xu Ning saw Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng walking side by side.

"Binglin, Zicheng."

Xu Ning greeted.

"According to the servants in the villa, Brother Xu, you seem to be cultivating in seclusion?"

Wei Binglin had tried to visit Xu Ning several times before, but was stopped by the servants.

"That's right."

Xu Ning responded.

"Now that Brother Xu has come out, does it mean you have improved on your martial arts?"

Wei Zicheng asked.

"There's indeed some improvement."

Xu Ning smiled and didn't conceal anything.

Xu Ning no longer had to hide his strength.

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng looked envious.

The two of them were still in the mortal realm, but their martial arts wouldn't improve frequently.

Xu Ning was now in the high stages of the void realm, and yet he could still improve from time to time.

This made the two sigh at Xu Ning's terrifying aptitude.

"You guys seem to be resting well."

Xu Ning could see that Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng had completely made up for their previous physical strain.

In addition to taking his medicinal pills, they were also nourished after returning to the family.

Compared to before, Wei Binglin's strength had risen from the mortal realm seventh stage to the mortal realm eighth stage.

"Our bodies are basically fine."

Wei Binglin said, "In a few days, we will be able to return to the Source Sect to cultivate."

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were both inner disciples of the Source Sect.

The Source Sect was different from the Yuelan Sect, one could change their outer, inner and true disciples status.

Once they were selected to enter the Source Sect, mortal realm warriors were all outer disciples. After reaching the void realm first stage, they would become inner disciples. After reaching the void realm fourth stage, they could become true disciples.

Because Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were from the Wei family, one of the six affiliated families of the Source Sect, they were promoted to the inner sect even though they were in the mortal realm.

"That's good."

Xu Ning nodded and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"We are going to Dianyuan Mountain to see the maple trees. It is now late autumn, the most beautiful time for viewing the maple trees."

Wei Zicheng responded, then invited, "Brother Xu, do you want to come with us?"

"Okay."

Xu Ning wanted to walk around Yunying City, so he agreed.

Afterwards, the three of them walked for nearly an hour before arriving at Dianyuan Mountain.

"So many people!"

Coming to the foot of Dianyuan Mountain, Wei Zicheng sighed, but he looked happy.

Wei Zicheng originally didn't like crowds, but after the traumatic experience, her personality had changed.

Xu Ning looked over and saw a sea of people at the foot of Dianyuan Mountain.

There were commoners dressed in ordinary clothes, children of wealthy families dressed in luxurious satin, and regardless of their status, they all had excited expressions on their faces.

In addition, there were many stalls on the side of the road. The sounds of vendors were endless, making Xu Ning feel that this place was full of the atmosphere of the mortal world.

"Brother Xu, not only are the maple trees on Dianyuan Mountain beautiful, but there is also a garden."

While walking up the mountain, Wei Binglin introduced to Xu Ning. "The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of tamed demon beasts. The scenery is beautiful, just like a paradise."

"If that's the case, I have to go in and take a look."

Xu Ning was also looking forward to it.

"Get out of the way!"

Just when they were enjoying the lively atmosphere at Dianyuan Mountain, the three suddenly felt a push beside them.

A team of black-clothed guards dispersed the pedestrians on the road, squeezing them to the sides of the road.

Between them was a luxurious and beautiful palanquin, carried by several porters.

"Who is causing a ruckus?"

The pedestrians who were pushed aside complained, even Wei Binglin frowned with a look of displeasure.

Although Wei Binglin was not strong, he was still a member of the Wei family in Yunying City. He had a noble status.

"Brother, he seems to be from the Wu family."

Wei Zicheng took a look and remembered.

Wei Binglin's face turned cold when he heard the words. "Judging from the situation, the person sitting in the carriage should be Young Master Wu Qingfu."

"It should be him."

Wei Zicheng also frowned. "The Wu family is full of powerful people, and many of the clan elders are pillars of the Source Source Sect, so they enjoy great prestige and are respected. However, Wu Qingfu is really domineering. This kind of behavior is a disgrace to the Wu family."

"Wu Qingfu?"

Xu Ning looked at the luxurious carriage and narrowed his eyes..

Report chapter

Chapter 176: Conflict in the Garden

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In Yunying City, there were many strong people, crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Being able to show off his domineering behavior in such a place could only mean that the family behind Wu Qingfu was extremely powerful, and he was quite favored in the family.

"Brother Xu, sorry to disappoint you."

Wei Binglin's tone was apologetic.

"What's the big deal…"

Xu Ning waved his hand and wasn't bothered at all.

Wu Qingfu's domineeringness was not deliberately targeted at Xu Ning, so Xu Ning would not hold any grudges.

However, although Xu Ning didn't feel anything, Wei Binglin felt a little uncomfortable.

He was also a family disciple of one of the six families in Yunying City, yet the gap between him and Wu Qingfu was too big.

Whether it was family power or personal realm, Wei Binglin was not comparable to Wu Qingfu.

'If I had one-tenth of Brother Xu's talent, I wouldn't have remained unknown in Yunying City…'

Wei Binglin sighed.

Afterwards, the three continued to climb the mountain.

The higher they went, the denser the maple trees became, and the more lush they grew.

The maple leaves were bright red like fire, and they were very beautiful.

"Huh?"

Wei Binglin suddenly gasped.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Ning and Wei Zicheng looked at Wei Binglin at the same time.

Wei Binglin responded, "On the way up the mountain, besides Wu Qingfu, I also saw a few acquaintances from the sect, and among them were inner disciples and true disciples. But they are not as ostentatious as Wu Qingfu, they were all quite low-key."

"Could it be that the disciples of the sect are having a meeting at Dianyuan Mountain today?"

Wei Zicheng asked.

She had only joined the Source Sect not long ago before she was taken to State Jifeng, so she couldn't recognize many disciples in the sect. If it weren't for Wei Binglin's reminder, Wei Zicheng wouldn't have even noticed the disciples of the Source Sect rushing up the mountain.

"Maybe."

Wei Binglin nodded.

Hearing that, Xu Ning was looking forward to it.

He really wanted to see the glory of the Source Sect's elite disciples. After all, Xu Ning almost became one of them.

Another hour went by.

Xu Ning and the other two slowly walked to the top of the mountain.

"Brother Xu, we will be reaching the garden I mentioned soon."

Wei Binglin led the way.

Soon, a stone fence appeared in front of them on the top of Dianyuan Mountain.

Behind the stone fence, there were beautiful, strange flowers and branches. They could smell the strong fragrance of flowers from far away.

Just looking at it from a distance made one feel endless vitality as though it was spring, causing people to forget that it was already late autumn.

"What beautiful scenery."

Xu Ning praised.

The three of them walked towards the garden gate and were about to enter, but they saw young men in the same uniform standing at the gate.

"They are outer disciples of the Source Sect."

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng recognized these people.

"The three of you, there is a meeting for the Source Sect's disciples in the garden today. If you are not a disciple of the Source Sect, or have an invitation letter, please leave this place."

A Source Sect's outer disciple stepped forward and said.

"I am an inner disciple of the Source Sect."

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng took out their waist plates.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister."

After confirming Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng's identities, the outer disciple quickly saluted.

He could sense that Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were only mortal realm warriors.

Being able to become inner disciples when they were still mortal realm warriors could only mean that these two were from the six big families in Yunying City.

"Please, Brother Xu."

Wei Binglin motioned for Xu Ning to enter first.

"Please wait…"

The outer disciple stopped the three of them with a hesitant expression. "Please show your waist plate or your invitation letter."

Wei Binglin's face changed when he heard the words. He stared at the disciple. "We are both members of the Wei family. Do we need identification to bring a friend into the garden?"

"This…"

The disciple looked troubled.

Although he was an outer disciple of the Source Sect, he was not strong enough to deal with the Wei family.

"Brother Xu, please."

Wei Binglin ignored the disciple and led Xu Ning into the garden with Wei Zicheng.

The outer disciple hesitated for a long time, in the end, he didn't dare to stop them.

"The people holding this meeting today are too much."

Wei Binglin said, "This Dianyuan Mountain doesn't belong to anyone, and yet they privately encircle the place and restrict outsiders from entering. This is too inappropriate."

Afterwards, Wei Binglin took Xu Ning around the garden while explaining some flower varieties to Xu Ning.

Suddenly, the three of them turned a corner and ran into several people.

One of the people walking in front looked to be 26 or 27 years old. He was wearing a brocade robe with a gold belt around his waist. And behind him, there were several young people who followed him.

At the side of this person, there was a middle-aged guard in black clothing. His face was ordinary, but his eyes were sharp.

"Wu Qingfu…"

Wei Binglin instantly recognized the other party.

He snorted in his heart and looked down on the outer disciples who blocked Xu Ning's entry.

The middle-aged guard next to Wu Qingfu was obviously not a disciple of the Source Sect, but he was still let in.

Obviously, the person guarding the door was a bully who feared the strong.

"Who are you?"

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng wanted to take Xu Ning and avoid them, but the moment they brushed shoulders, a person behind Wu Qingfu took the initiative to ask the three of them.

"This place has been occupied by the Source Sect disciples. If you three have sneaked your way in, get out."

The person who spoke was skinny, had a feminine face, and his eyes had a gloomy look.

This person was one of Wu Qingfu's followers in the sect, named Yu Ziming.

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng had left the sect for a year, so they were relatively unknown. Thus, Yu Ziming didn't find their faces familiar.

Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng frowned at the same time. "The outer disciples have already identified our identities, do we still have to report it to you?"

There was a hint of hostility in Wei Binglin's tone.

Wei Binglin was already annoyed by Wu Qingfu's tyrannical behavior.

And now he was furious that his entourage dared to question him.

Yu Ziming was used to showing off around Wu Qingfu, so after being rebuked by Wei Binglin, he took a step forward and said in a threatening tone, "If you don't show your identification, I will throw all of you out."

When Wu Qingfu saw Yu Ziming like this, he frowned slightly, as if he was very unhappy with Yu Ziming's behavior. But in front of others, Wu Qingfu didn't say anything to stop him.

He decided to find a chance to teach Yu Ziming a lesson afterwards.

"Throw us out?"

Wei Binglin sneered and stepped forward to confront Yu Ziming.

When Yu Ziming saw this, he took action and grabbed Wei Binglin's arm.

Wei Binglin reacted instantly.

Wei Binglin was now in the mortal realm eighth stage, and he had also mastered an intermediate realm external skill.

Soon, the two began to fight.

Wu Qingfu looked impatient when he saw this so he gave a look to the middle-aged guard next to him.

The middle-aged guard immediately understood what he meant.

He stood on the spot and his wrist trembled slightly, shooting out a stream of true qi towards Wei Binglin.

Just when the middle-aged guard felt that he could easily knock down Wei Binglin, he discovered that his stream of true qi had disappeared.

"A genus realm martial artist launching a sneak attack on a mortal realm warrior, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

At this moment, Xu Ning walked forward and grabbed Yu Ziming's neck, throwing him at Wu Qingfu's feet.

Yu Ziming felt dizzy after he was thrown to the ground before he could even see Xu Ning.

"You…"

Yu Ziming wanted to get up, but was suddenly kicked away by Wu Qingfu. "Isn't this embarrassing enough?"

"Senior Brother Wu…"

Yu Ziming consciously stood behind Wu Qingfu after getting scolded.

"May I ask for your name?"

Wu Qingfu looked at Xu Ning with fear in his eyes.

Wu Qingfu was a void realm first stage martial artist while the middle-aged guard next to him was a void realm third stage martial artist.

Wu Qingfu noticed that after his guard shot out a stream of true qi, it was instantly dispersed, which surprised him.

He could sense that Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng were both mortal realm warriors, so it must have been the young man next to them.

To be able to easily disperse the true qi of a genus realm meant that this person must be a master in the qualitative change realm or higher.

However, Wu Qingfu didn't remember that there was such a young and powerful martial artist in Yunying City.

"I'm just a traveler in Yunying City."

Xu Ning chuckled. "Since outsiders are not welcome here, let's leave."

"Binglin, Zicheng, let's leave."

Xu Ning said.

"Okay."

The two were also very unhappy, but they still responded.

"Oh yeah."

Before leaving, Xu Ning suddenly turned his head and looked at the middle-aged guard who had launched the sneak attack. "Next time, don't lay your dirty hands on mortal realm martial artists, it's a disgrace."

The middle-aged guard looked at Xu Ning and wanted to refute.

But for some reason, when he looked at Xu Ning's eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of terror.

Soon, Xu Ning and the others left.

Pfft!

The moment Xu Ning and the other two disappeared around the corner, the middle-aged guard suddenly vomited blood.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Wu Qingfu's expression changed.

"Before that person left, he injected a stream of true qi into my body…"

The middle-aged guard felt the chaos in his body and his face went pale. "His strength is at least in the void realm sixth stage!"

"Attribute realm?"

Wu Qingfu looked at the place where Xu Ning had disappeared, his expression uncertain.

'Where did such a young outsider in the attribute realm come from?'

Wu Qingfu frowned slightly. Offending such a person for no reason made him very annoyed.

"What a disgrace!"

Wu Qingfu vented his anger on Yu Ziming and kicked him.

Yu Ziming knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"I won't be attending today's meeting, let's go back."

Wu Qingfu was in a hurry to go back and find out Xu Ning's identity..

Chapter 177: Entrustment to Refine Pills

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After leaving Dianyuan Mountain, Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng seemed to be greatly affected.

Xu Ning noticed this so he took the initiative to ask the two of them to accompany him to another place.

Afterwards, they strolled around Yunying City a few more times until it was evening, before returning to the Wei Estate.

At night.

Xu Ning was lying on a recliner in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky.

There was a small wooden table filled with fruits next to the recliner.

Xu Ning initially had a maid serving him, but he sent her away.

"Little Friend Xu Ning!"

Wei Xingfeng's voice came.

Xu Ning quickly got up, and Wei Xingfeng strode in.

"Sorry to bother you so late."

Wei Xingfeng apologized first.

"It's fine."

Xu Ning waved his hand. "Why is Family Head Wei looking for me?"

Wei Xingfeng smiled. "Let's talk about that later. Before that, I have to thank you."

"My Grand Elder used his own blood and managed to break the seal."

Wei Xingfeng's expression was energetic. "After observing the dao seal, he has gained a lot of insights. Now that he has begun his seclusion, he may be able to break through to the void realm eighth stage."

"This is a good thing, congratulations."

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't given the dao seal to the Wei family, we might not have had a true intent realm martial artist for decades."

Wei Xingfeng's tone was full of joy.

"By the way, Xu Ning, I came here because someone requested me to."

Wei Xingfeng paused for a second and spoke.

"Oh? By whom? What for?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I was asked by Zhou Weichen to ask you to refine a type of medicinal pill."

Wei Xingfeng explained, "This Zhou Weichen is an elder of the Zhou Family in Yunying City. He is a true intent realm martial artist, and has a good relationship with me."

"Today, he took the initiative to come to me and ask our Wei family if we have contacted a powerful alchemist. Because recently, the medicinal pills you had asked us to sell were excellent in quality and efficacy. After Zhou Weichen discovered this, he took the initiative to contact me."

"Because we are familiar with each other, I didn't hide anything from him. I told him that we did know a powerful alchemist. And after he learned about this, he wanted to request you to help him refine a kind of medicinal pill."

Wei Xingfeng said while observing Xu Ning's expression, afraid that Xu Ning would show dissatisfaction.

But Xu Ning's expression was normal.

"What pill does he want to refine?"

Xu Ning asked.

He didn't mind exposing his identity as an alchemist. With his current strength, there was no need to hide anything.

"He wants to refine a kind of pill called Common Intent Pill."

Wei Xingfeng replied.

"Common Intent Pill…"

Xu Ning nodded silently after hearing those words.

This Common Intent Pill was a type of pill that helped in one's advancement. It was mainly used to break through to the common seal realm, and had some effect for breaking through to the true intent realm.

It was extremely difficult to refine any medicinal pills used for advancement, and the raw materials were difficult to obtain.

For example, ordinary alchemists were not qualified to refine the Common Intent Pill, and high-level alchemists normally only had a 30% success rate.

Even with Xu Ning's Life Pill Sutra that had been advanced to the seventh level and the help of his pill furnace, his success rate was only about 50%.

"How about it, Xu Ning. Can you refine this Common Intent Pill?"

Wei Xingfeng asked tentatively.

"I can refine it, but how many sets of raw materials can he provide?"

Xu Ning thought for a moment and asked.

Wei Xingfeng frowned when he heard the words. "Zhou Weichen did not tell me. He said that if you are willing to, he will bring the raw materials to you personally."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning replied, "Then let him come to me tomorrow."

Since Zhou Weichen was Wei Xingfeng's friend, Xu Ning was willing to help him.

"Then thank you very much, Little Friend Xu Ning!"

Wei Xingfeng smiled when Xu Ning agreed.

Wei Xingfeng knew very well that Xu Ning had only agreed to help Zhou Weichen because of him.

"In that case, I will take my leave. Tomorrow, I will bring Zhou Weichen here."

Wei Xingfeng left Xu Ning's villa.

…

The next morning.

Wei Xingfeng brought Zhou Weichen over.

Zhou Weichen was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and he looked very elegant.

"Brother Zhou, this is Alchemist Xu Ning who refined those high-quality pills."

Wei Xingfeng first introduced Xu Ning, then introduced Zhou Weichen to Xu Ning.

"Such a young alchemist?"

After seeing Xu Ning, Zhou Weichen was obviously surprised.

Although a void realm martial artist could slow down their rate of aging, Xu Ning was definitely not more than 30 years old.

He thought that an alchemist who could refine extremely high quality medicinal pills would be very old, so he didn't expect that he was still a junior.

This was not because Zhou Weichen did not trust young people, but because refining pills required not only perception, but also experience.

This kind of experience required years to accumulate.

"Senior Zhou."

Xu Ning also took the initiative to greet him.

Zhou Weichen and Wei Xingfeng were friends. They were much older than him, so it was reasonable for him to call him "Senior".

"Little Friend Xu Ning."

Although he was surprised by Xu Ning's age, Zhou Weichen still greeted him politely.

He did not look down on Xu Ning because Xu Ning was young. On the contrary, he valued Xu Ning even more highly.

He could already refine extremely high-quality medicinal pills at such a young age. With this ability, even if he entered the Source Sect, he could easily become a guest elder.

'Not only is Little Friend Xu Ning highly skilled in refining medicinal pills, but his martial arts cultivation seems to be unfathomable as well…'

Zhou Weichen thought to himself after roughly estimating Xu Ning's abilities.

He was a common seal realm martial artist so he could roughly sense that Xu Ning's strength was above the common seal realm.

'Even the Source Sect can't groom such a young man…'

Zhou Weichen thought to himself. 'If I'm not wrong, he should be from one of the big states with strong martial arts backgrounds. He probably traveled here for experience and made friends with the Wei family.'

"Senior Zhou, I heard from Family Head Wei that you want to refine a Common Intent Pill?"

Xu Ning took the initiative to ask.

"That is right."

Seeing that Xu Ning was straightforward, Zhou Weichen quickly said, "My son is quite talented. He advanced to the void realm sixth stage attribute realm when he was 32 years old…"

When he said this, there was a hint of pride in Zhou Weichen's tone that even he himself did not notice.

His son was a core elite in the Zhou family, and he had a high chance of becoming the next head of the Zhou family.

"However, now that seven years have passed, he is close to 40 years old, yet there is still no signs of him breaking through to the common seal realm…"

Zhou Weichen's tone had a hint of concern for his son. "Recently, I discovered that it has begun to affect his state of mind since he hasn't been able to break through to the common seal realm. This makes me a little worried. Therefore, I want to request for a Common Intent Pill to help him break through to the common seal realm."

"It's just that a pill like the Common Intent Pill is too precious. I have sought help from various parties many times, but I haven't found one for sale. Thus, I have no choice but to gather the materials and find an alchemist to refine it."

"However, after searching through a large number of alchemists, I discovered that their refining standards are relatively ordinary, and their success rate is generally less than 30%. I only have three sets of raw materials in my hands, so I really can't afford to lose them."

Zhou Weichen continued, "After searching for a while, I still didn't find the alchemist I wanted, and I had even planned to give up. Until a few days ago, I saw the pills you refined, and was amazed by the quality of the pills, so I found my way to you."

"Little Friend Xu Ning, please help me. You can directly ask for the payment, I have no objections."

Zhou Weichen's attitude was sincere.

"You are friends with Family Head Wei, there is no need for payment."

Xu Ning waved his hand.

For others, refining medicinal pills took a lot of effort.

But for Xu Ning, it wasn't difficult at all.

"That can't do."

Zhou Weichen quickly said, "How can I not pay?"

"It's fine…"

Wei Xingfeng said, "Give the raw materials to Xu Ning and let him finish refining the medicinal pills first. You can talk about the payment afterwards."

"Okay."

After hearing Wei Xingfeng's words, Zhou Weichen did not bother to bicker with him anymore. He took out the three sets of materials for the Common Intent Pill and handed them to Xu Ning.

After Xu Ning took it, he did not immediately return to the room to refine it, instead he said, "Senior Zhou, there are some things I have to say first."

"With my personal abilities, the success rate of refining the Common Intent Pill is around 50%. But even so, I can't guarantee that I will be able to refine one out. After all, there are many uncontrollable minute details in refining a medicinal pill."

"It's fine."

Zhou Weichen said, "Little Friend Xu Ning, don't worry about it. Even if all of them fail, it's still fine."

"Okay."

Xu Ning turned around and entered the room.

"Little Friend Xu Ning is going inside the room to refine the medicinal pills?"

After seeing Xu Ning return to his room, Zhou Weichen was a little surprised. "Doesn't he need to go to an alchemy room or a quiet and sealed off room?"

"Xu Ning's realm is different from ordinary alchemists. He can easily clear his mind without being disturbed by the outside world."

Wei Xingfeng explained.

When Xu Ning was refining medicinal pills in the past, Wei Xingfeng specially prepared a sealed off room for him, but Xu Ning declined and told Wei Xingfeng that he didn't care about the surrounding environment when he was refining pills.

"Truly impressive."

Zhou Weichen smiled. He was very confident that Xu Ning could successfully refine a Common Intent Pill.

Inside the room.

Xu Ning took out the pill furnace.

'Three sets of materials to refine a Common Intent Pill is not difficult for me.'

Xu Ning was more relaxed.

He opened the furnace and threw in one set of the materials.

In the past, Xu Ning would put several or even dozens of sets of materials into the furnace to refine at the same time, as it was more efficient.

But in order to increase the success rate, Xu Ning decided to do it one by one..

Chapter 178: Alchemist From Another State

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ning activated the dual attribute power in his body. Soon, the materials in the furnace began to melt and the liquid medicine separated from the residue.

Afterwards, Xu Ning closed his eyes and began to calmly refine the pill.

'The difficulty of refining the Common Intent Pill is quite high,'

During the process of refining the pill, Xu Ning also discovered that he was consuming a lot of energy to refine it.

If he was not careful, there was a possibility of failure.

Xu Ning operated the Life Pill Sutra while maintaining a stable state of mind.

Half an hour later, Xu Ning suddenly opened his eyes.

Bang!

A grape-sized emerald pill popped out of the pill furnace.

Xu Ning caught it.

'So this is the Common Intent Pill…'

This was the first time Xu Ning had refined a Common Intent Pill, so he took a closer look.

The surface of the emerald green pill was smooth. As it had just popped out of the furnace, it was still warm to the touch.

A medicinal fragrance spread from the surface of the Common Intent Pill. If a mortal realm warrior smelled this medicinal fragrance day and night, he could advance to the high stages of the mortal realm even without cultivating by himself.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle and placed the pill in it.

These porcelain bottles were specially made to ensure that the medicinal properties of the pills inside would not be lost.

After successfully refining one Common Intent Pill, Xu Ning did not stop. He continued to refine the remaining two sets of raw materials.

It was just that when he was refining the second Common Intent Pill, Xu Ning failed because of a mistake.

Fortunately, when he was refining the third pill, Xu Ning maintained his state of mind throughout and refined the pill in one go.

Refining two Common Intent Pills with three sets of raw materials meant he had a success rate of nearly 70%. If other alchemists knew about this, they would definitely feel inferior.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and slowly recovered his energy.

Soon after, Xu Ning felt full of energy again.

Xu Ning stood up, put away the furnace, and went outside.

It had only been slightly more than two hours since Xu Ning began to refine the Common Intent Pill.

"Little Friend Xu Ning is out."

After seeing Xu Ning walk out of the room, Zhou Weichen and Wei Xingfeng quickly got up from their seats.

After Xu Ning entered the house, the two waited in the courtyard.

"Fortunately, I have succeeded in refining the Common Intent Pill."

Xu Ning handed the two porcelain bottles to Zhou Weichen.

"So fast?"

Zhou Weichen took the two porcelain bottles and asked, "There are two Common Intent Pills?"

"That is right."

Xu Ning responded, "One of the three sets of raw materials was wasted after I failed. The other two sets have been refined into medicinal pills and placed in these two porcelain bottles."

Zhou Weichen and Wei Xingfeng looked at each other, both sucking in a deep breath.

He refined two Common Intent Pills in two hours; the success rate was close to 70%.

Although he knew that Xu Ning's pill refinement technique was superb, the impact of the reality in front of him was still huge.

Zhou Weichen quickly opened one of the porcelain bottles and poured a pill into his palm.

"This quality!"

Although Zhou Weichen was not an alchemist, he could sense the extraordinariness of this Common Intent Pill.

"Little Friend Xu Ning, thank you so much!"

Zhou Weichen put away the pill and wholeheartedly thanked Xu Ning.

He knew very well that his son had a high probability of advancing to the common seal realm after obtaining a Common Intent Pill of this quality.

"However, according to the rules, I can only take one of these two pills."

Afterwards, Zhou Weichen returned one of the Common Intent Pills to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn't stand on ceremony and put away the pill.

Generally speaking, when an alchemist accepted a commission, as long as they completed the requirements of the commissioner, the remaining materials and the extra refined medicinal pills would remain in their own hands.

"Little Friend Xu Ning, you have helped me a lot."

Zhou Weichen said, "Logically speaking, I have to reward you."

"Senior Zhou…"

Xu Ning waved his hand. "I have a close relationship with the Wei family, and you are also good friends with the Family Head Wei. It is inappropriate for me to accept payment. Moreover, I have also received a Common Intent Pill."

"This…"

Zhou Weichen didn't know what to say.

"Brother Zhou, since Xu Ning said so, don't force it."

Wei Xingfeng's face was full of joy. Xu Ning's words just now had actually boosted his reputation. "Just treat it as a favor from Xu Ning. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can repay it."

Wei Xingfeng's words were actually beneficial to Xu Ning.

He knew very well that Xu Ning's resources were extremely abundant. Ordinary resources were meaningless to him.

Thus, it was better to let Zhou Weichen owe Xu Ning a favor, which was more important.

"I owe you a favor. In addition, I will give you two hundred sets of raw materials for the Pure Source Pill. I will send someone to deliver them another day."

When Zhou Weichen was talking to Wei Xingfeng just now, he knew that Xu Ning favored Pure Source Pills. "In the future, if you need anything in Yunying City, just feel free to ask me."

"In that case, thank you Senior Zhou."

Xu Ning noticed that Zhou Weichen was being firm, so he did not refuse.

Afterwards, the three of them exchange pleasantries as Xu Ning and Wei Xingfeng walk Zhou Weichen out of the door.

…

At the same time.

A group of people walked into a medicinal shop under the Wei Trading Company.

Among them, the person walking in front was wearing a long robe, holding a bone fan, and had light cyan lines drawn at the corners of his eyes. He did not look like someone from State Feiyun.

Beside him was a middle-aged man in a martial arts outfit, giving off an inexplicable sense of majesty. He was obviously a high-level figure of a sect.

Behind the two were gray-clothed guards, each of them having an extraordinary aura.

"Esteemed guests, what kind of medicine do you need?"

After these people walked in, the manager of the medicinal shop noticed that they were extraordinary, so he personally greeted them.

Although the leader was dressed uniquely, the manager did not care. Yunying City was the core city of State Feiyun, so there were countless foreigners visiting from other states.

"Do you have any excellent medicinal pills for me to see?"

The robed man didn't specify his needs and asked casually.

When the manager heard this, his eyes moved. He smiled and said, "Recently, a batch of excellent pills has entered the shop, I will take you to take a look."

The robed man responded with a "Mm" and followed the manager to the second floor.

After passing through the first floor, the robed man glanced at the medicinal pills on the counter with a look of contempt.

It seemed as though these expensive pills were defective in his eyes.

The manager also noticed this, but he didn't care.

Because he knew very well that once this guest saw the medicinal pills displayed on the second floor, he would naturally change his attitude.

"Sir, look at these medicinal pills."

The manager brought the robed man and the others to a table, on which were several boxes of samples.

"If you have any needs, I will go to the back and get it for you."

The manager smiled and stood aside.

The robed man glanced at the medicinal pills on the table casually.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his fingers tightened around the bone fan. He looked surprised.

"This medicine pill…"

The robed man discovered that although the medicinal pill displayed on the table was not rare, its quality was excellent.

Those who could refine this kind of medicine pills were all highly skilled alchemists.

He quickly took out a pill and looked at it.

"What an impressive refining technique!"

The robed man exclaimed with a strange look on his face.

The manager was not surprised at all. He just smiled and watched.

Ever since this high-quality pill appeared in the store recently, there were countless buyers who showed this expression.

"How many of such medicinal pills are there, I will buy all of them."

The robed man said.

The man was about to pay the bill, but was interrupted by the manager.

"My apologies, esteemed guest, only three of each type of pills can be purchased."

The manager responded skillfully.

If it weren't for the restrictions on purchase, this batch of high-quality medicinal pills would have been sold out long ago.

"Interesting…"

The robed man smiled and waved the bone fan in his hand. "Manager, can you introduce me to the alchemist who refined these medicinal pills."

"Sir, these medicinal pills were all distributed by our master, so I don't know which alchemist refined them."

The manager responded politely.

The robed man looked at the manager. Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, he asked, "Who is your master?"

"Wei family of Yunying City."

The manager straightened his back subconsciously.

"Wei family of Yunying City."

The robed man was in deep thought. After a while, he waved his hand. "For pills like this, no matter what kind you have, I will buy as many as I can, wrap them all up."

"Okay!"

The manager personally went to the warehouse to collect the medicinal pills.

"Deputy Sect Master Huang, we have to postpone our trip to State Jifeng."

The robed man said to the man dressed in the martial arts outfit. "I have to study the refining techniques of these medicinal pills in this city."

"This…"

When the man in the martial arts outfit heard this, he was obviously in a difficult position. "Alchemist Xiang, the sect has already made preparations… It seems inappropriate for us to delay our journey…"

"Why don't we go to State Jifeng and study these medicinal pills after buying them."

Deputy Sect Master Huang tried to discuss with Alchemist Xiang.

When Alchemist Xiang heard this, his face turned cold. "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. Refining that demonic pill consumes a lot of energy. If it weren't for your generous conditions, I wouldn't have traveled so far to State Jifeng."

"Don't forget, Deputy Sect Master Huang, you have promised to listen to me."

Alchemist Xiang swung the bone fan in his hand with a dissatisfied tone.

"Then… okay…"

Deputy Sect Master Huang finally compromised. "We will stay in Yunying City for a few days. When you want to leave, we will set off again."

"Also…"

Alchemist Xiang added, "During this period of time, you are responsible for finding out who the alchemist who refined this pill is. I want to confirm his identity."

"Understood, Alchemist Xiang."

Deputy Sect Master Huang obviously felt that this order from Alchemist Xiang was difficult to complete, but he reluctantly agreed.

'Everything is for the demonic pill…'

Deputy Sect Master Huang was dissatisfied. 'When the demonic pill is refined… heh…'

A murderous intent was suppressed by Deputy Sect Master Huang..

Chapter 179: Phantom Blood Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In a mansion in Yunying City.

"This alchemy technique is amazing!"

In front of Xiang Nanchun was a crushed medicinal pill.

Just now, when Xiang Nanchun carefully looked at the powder of the medicinal pill, he discovered that the alchemy technique used by the alchemist who refined these medicinal pills was very mature and brilliant.

'The alchemy technique used by this alchemist should be inherited from a dao realm master alchemist. It might be a simplified version of a dao realm alchemy technique. There are many aspects that I can't figure out…'

There was a look of greed in Xiang Nanchun's eyes.

'Dao realm masters are rare, and dao realm master alchemists are even rarer. If I can learn the alchemy technique left behind by a dao realm master alchemist, then my alchemy skills will greatly improve.'

Xiang Nanchun knew very well that although he was a relatively powerful alchemist, his path of growth was reaching its limit.

Xiang Nanchun did not want to miss the opportunity to learn a dao realm master alchemist's alchemy technique.

'I have to find a way to learn the alchemy technique from that alchemist…'

Xiang Nanchun thought to himself.

He had already asked Huang Zongshao to search for information about the alchemist.

With the strength of a void realm eighth stage martial artist, it was definitely not difficult for him to find an alchemist in Yunying City.

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

Deputy Sect Master Huang walked in.

"Alchemist Xiang, I have confirmed the situation surrounding the Wei family's alchemist."

Huang Zongshao was very polite to Xiang Nanchun.

Although Xiang Nanchun was only a void realm fourth stage qualitative change realm martial artist, his status as an alchemist allowed him to be on the same level as Huang Zongshao, even gaining the upper-hand when Huang Zongshao asked him for help.

"Oh?"

Xiang Nanchun smiled.

"That alchemist came to Yunying City recently, and he is backed by the Wei family. He has refined a lot of medicinal pills and sold them to the trading companies under the Wei family."

Huang Zongshao gave a rough explanation.

"Deputy Sect Master Huang, do you have a way to have this person meet with me?"

Xiang Nanchun asked.

"This…"

Huang Zongshao had a difficult look on his face. "There are many people in Yunying City who want to see this person, but most of them can't. I am not from Yunying City, so it will be quite difficult to bring him here to meet you…"

When Xiang Nanchun heard this, he looked annoyed.

He pursed his lips. "Deputy Sect Master Huang, bring this person here, and I can immediately go to State Jifeng to help you refine that demonic pill."

Huang Zongshao knew that Xiang Nanchun was listing a condition, but this was truly difficult.

After seeing Huang Zongshao's troubled expression, Xiang Nanchun said, "Deputy Sect Master Huang, you should know that refining a demonic pill is extremely difficult. If I am slightly careless, then all of your previous efforts will be wasted."

"Just now, when I was studying this pill, I discovered that this alchemist's technique is extremely exquisite. If I can learn this technique, or understand it a little, I can greatly increase the success rate of refining that demonic pill."

Xiang Nanchun paused. "This is not just for me, but also for you guys…"

Huang Zongshao was quite reluctant, but after hearing Xiang Nanchun's words, he was intrigued.

Refining a demonic pill was the most important thing for the sect.

Once the demonic pill was refined, his sect master could use this demonic pill to advance to a dao realm master.

Once that happened, the strength of the sect would rise sharply, and they would have the strength to defeat their enemies like how the Source Sect did in State Feiyun, becoming the number one faction in State Jifeng.

The Yuelan Sect, Thousand Flood Sect, and other large sects would all be stepped on by them.

"Okay, I will find a way to lure that alchemist out."

Huang Zongshao finally chose to agree. "However, once we lure this person out, whether he is willing to hand over the alchemy technique or not, we have to leave immediately and go to State Jifeng."

"Okay."

Xiang Nanchun quickly agreed.

Huang Zongshao turned around and left.

After leaving the room, Huang Zongshao called a few subordinates. "Go and gather information. After confirming the person's identity and his fixed whereabouts, report it to me."

"Yes."

The subordinates received the order and left.

"Wei family…"

Huang Zongshao had already figured out the Wei family.

He knew that the strongest person in the Wei family was only a martial artist in the common seal realm. With his current strength, he could even enter the compound of the Wei family and kidnap the alchemist.

But because he was afraid of alerting the Source Sect, Huang Zongshao decided to secretly find out the whereabouts of the alchemist, then bring him to Xiang Nanchun.

As for the strength of the Wei family's alchemist, Huang Zongshao didn't even consider it.

In his opinion, the more powerful an alchemist was, the weaker their martial arts cultivation would be, as most of them were strengthened with medicinal pills.

Xiang Nanchun was an example of this. Although his alchemy skills were very high, he was only a qualitative change realm martial artist.

As long as the alchemist went outside, he would have the opportunity to kidnap him.

…

At night.

On the street.

Xu Ning walked out of the restaurant and bid farewell to Zhou Weichen and his son.

In the evening, Zhou Weichen took the initiative to find Xu Ning and deliver the raw materials of the Pure Source Pills.

At the same time, he told Xu Ning that after his son consumed the Common Intent Pill refined by him, he crossed the threshold of the common seal realm in just one night.

Zhou Weichen was overjoyed and kept thanking Xu Ning.

After Xu Ning heard this, he also knew that the reason why Zhou Weichen's son could break through so quickly was because he had accumulated enough experience. Consuming the Common Intent Pill was only a form of help.

In order to thank Xu Ning, Zhou Weichen and his son personally invited Xu Ning to dinner. It was not until late at night that they parted ways.

Xu Ning walked into an alley. When he passed through this alley, he could return to the compound of the Wei family.

Xu Ning had basically visited the entire Yunying City.

'It seems that they are really following me…'

After leaving the restaurant, Xu Ning felt that there was a true intent realm martial artist following him from a distance.

Although the person deliberately concealed his aura, it was useless, as Xu Ning could easily notice him.

Xu Ning was already at the peak of the true intent realm and his Life Pill Sutra was already at the seventh level, thus his perception was extremely strong.

'Could it be someone from the Wu family?'

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Ever since he came to Yunying City, it seemed that he only had a feud with the Wu family.

Xu Ning thought about it and walked faster.

'This alchemist is actually a true intent realm martial artist! And he's so young.'

The one following Xu Ning was naturally Huang Zongshao.

After Xu Ning came out of the restaurant, he had been following Xu Ning, ready to knock Xu Ning out and kidnap him.

But he didn't expect Xu Ning to be so strong.

'Fortunately, I only asked my subordinates to investigate and not follow this person, otherwise we would have been exposed.'

Huang Zongshao felt lucky, but he didn't expect that Xu Ning had already noticed him.

Huang Zongshao followed Xu Ning into the alley.

"Huh?"

As soon as he walked into the alley, Huang Zongshao suddenly noticed that Xu Ning's aura had disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Huang Zongshao's face changed slightly and a strange sense of danger emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Huang Zongshao felt a cold gust of wind behind his ears.

His heart tightened and he quickly dodged.

But it was useless, as a fire and water dual attribute force entered Huang Zongshao's body.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Xu Ning took advantage of Huang Zongshao's internal injury and grabbed his neck.

At the same time, Xu Ning activated the dao bracer and attached true intent to his true qi, directly sealing Huang Zongshao's meridians.

As a void realm eighth stage true intent martial artist, Huang Zongshao did not even manage to retaliate against Xu Ning at all.

With the help of the bracer, the current Xu Ning was comparable to a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist.

"You!"

Huang Zongshao looked at Xu Ning in horror.

"Tell me, why did you follow me?"

Xu Ning's eyes were cold.

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding."

Huang Zongshao quickly said.

"Misunderstanding? Ever since I left the restaurant, you have been following me from a distance. Do you really think I didn't notice?"

Xu Ning sneered.

When Huang Zongshao heard this, his heart was in chaos.

So he was already discovered long ago.

"Sir, I didn't mean to offend you, but I have a friend who wants to meet you and discuss alchemy with you. My friend is also an alchemist."

Huang Zongshao thought quickly.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning chuckled. "Your behavior doesn't seem like you're inviting people to meet your friend."

Huang Zongshao wanted to explain, but he felt a sudden pain in his body.

Xu Ning's attribute power was injected again, directly injuring Huang Zongshao.

"Stop pretending, the blood qi in your body is heterogeneous and your true qi is strange. You practice the secret scroll of a Demon Sect, right?"

Xu Ning pointed out Huang Zongshao's secret directly.

Huang Zongshao's expression changed again.

He had deliberately taken a high-level Breath Restraining Pill to hide his aura.

"Tell me your true identity, or I will send you to the Source Sect."

Xu Ning threatened, "You should know the consequences of exposing one's Demon Sect identity in the Source Sect's territory, right?"

Huang Zongshao's expression was ugly.

He knew very well that the Source Sect was extremely cruel to the martial artists of Demon Sects.

"I am from State Jifeng's Phantom Blood Sect…"

Huang Zongshao chose to speak the truth.

"From State Jifeng's Phantom Blood Sect?"

Xu Ning looked surprised.

He didn't expect to encounter a true intent realm martial artist from State Jifeng.

"What a coincidence, I am from State Jifeng's Yuelan Sect."

Xu Ning smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.

"People from the Yuelan Sect!?"

Huang Zongshao's face turned pale.

In State Jifeng, the Yuelan Sect and the Phantom Blood Sect were hostile forces.

Although the Phantom Blood Sect was relatively weak and the Yuelan Sect did not take them seriously, the Phantom Blood Sect regarded the Yuelan Faction as their number one enemy.

"Tell me the truth, why did you follow me?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"An alchemist entrusted me to kidnap you. He wants to obtain your alchemy technique."

This time, Huang Zongshao was honest.

"Doesn't he want to see me? Take me there."

Xu Ning let go of Huang Zongshao and motioned for him to lead the way.

Although Huang Zongshao was not restrained, his internal injuries were quite serious. If he wanted to escape, he would definitely be caught by Xu Ning.

At that time, he would definitely be killed or sent to the Source Sect.

'I can't believe this!'

Huang Zongshao hated Xiang Nanchun. If it hadn't been for Xiang Nanchun, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

'I have to find a way to escape…'

Huang Zongshao thought hard..

Chapter 180: Pills That Can Break Through To Dao Realm?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huang Zongshao was taken hostage by Xu Ning to their residence.

As soon as Xu Ning entered the residence, he knocked out all of Huang Zongshao's subordinates.

"What's the commotion?"

Xiang Nanchun heard the commotion and opened the door.

He then saw Huang Zongshao, who was controlled by Xu Ning, and the Demon Sect's subordinates lying on the ground.

"I heard you are looking for me?"

Xu Ning looked at Xiang Nanchun with a smile.

Xiang Nanchun was taken aback. After seeing Huang Zongshao's condition, he immediately reacted, wanting to escape from the residence.

However, Xu Ning did not give him this opportunity. He shot out a stream of true qi and Xiang Nanchun's body immediately stiffened before falling on the ground.

Xu Ning grabbed Huang Zongshao's neck with one hand and dragged Xiang Nanchun into the house.

"You are the alchemist invited by the Phantom Blood Sect from State Yanshui?"

Xu Ning casually sat on a soft chair and threw the two to the ground.

"You are the alchemist behind the Wei Trading Company?"

Xiang Nanchun pretended to be calm as he looked at Xu Ning.

"That is right."

Xu Ning smiled. "I heard that the Phantom Blood Sect invited you to State Jifeng to refine a demonic pill?"

Xu Ning had received a lot of information from Huang Zongshao, including the demonic pill of the Phantom Blood Sect.

The reason why Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao to bring him here was to figure out the situation behind the demonic pill and the Phantom Blood Sect.

Otherwise, Xu Ning would have either directly killed these Demon Sect martial artists or handed them over to the Source Sect.

Xiang Nanchun did not answer. He instead glanced at Huang Zongshao first.

Obviously, Huang Zongshao had already said something.

Since this was the case, there was no need for Xiang Nanchun to hide anything. He was not a member of the Phantom Blood Sect. And since Deputy Sect Master Huang had already told him, he had no reason to insist on hiding anything.

"Yes, the Phantom Blood Sect invited me over to refine a pill called the Demon Blood Great Pill. According to them, after swallowing this Demon Blood Great Pill, one can break through the void realm shackles and advance to the dao realm."

Xiang Nanchun said truthfully.

"Demon Blood Great Pill? One can break through the dao realm after eating it?"

Xu Ning was shocked.

There was not a single dao realm master in State Jifeng, or even State Hurricane and State Feiyun.

If someone could really break through to the dao realm, then it was possible to build a dynasty and rule over several states.

"Are you sure this Demon Blood Great Pill can really have such an effect?"

Xu Ning didn't believe it.

"I don't know, the Phantom Blood Sect is the one that invited me."

Xiang Nanchun said, "I didn't intend to go to State Jifeng to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill, but they gave me too generous of a reward. I also had a friendship with their sect master, so I agreed to go."

"Tell me about the origin of the Demon Blood Great Pill."

Xu Ning looked at Huang Zongshao. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, he must know very well. "Why didn't you refine it in the past, but now?"

Although Huang Zongshao was worried about the Phantom Blood Sect, his life was obviously more important.

"The Demon Blood Great Pill's formula was obtained by our sect master, Feng Changge, when he explored a mystic realm in an outer state a few months ago. After obtaining it, he began to use the power of the entire sect to search for materials and alchemists to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill. However, the refinement process of the pill is extremely cumbersome and difficult, so ordinary alchemists are unable to successfully refine it."

"We had no choice. Our sect master sent me to State Yanshui to seek help from Xiang Nanchun."

Now that he was at the mercy of others, Huang Zongshao explained everything.

"Hmm…"

Xu Ning was carefully sensing Huang Zongshao's emotions just now, and he didn't notice anything strange.

Huang Zongshao was probably speaking the truth.

The Demon Blood Great Pill that could allow one to break through to the dao realm sounded bizarre, but it should really exist.

If a beast tamer could leave a Demon Beast Scroll in State Jifeng, powerful masters from other states could also leave their legacy elsewhere.

However, although Xu Ning felt that Huang Zongshao was speaking the truth, he still wanted to test him.

"Are you speaking the truth? According to what you said, that mystic realm should have been left behind by a dao realm master."

"It must have been left by a dao realm master."

Huang Zongshao quickly explained, "Our sect master was only in the void realm ninth stage. After coming out of the mystic realm, he was already a half-step dao realm master."

Huang Zongshao knew that the Phantom Blood Sect and the Yuelan Sect were mortal enemies. If he wanted to survive in Xu Ning's hands, he must show absolute obedience and value.

"Half-step dao realm master?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Xu Ning knew a little about the half-step dao realm. This realm was a step between the void realm and the dao realm.

However, Xu Ning did not know the definition of a half-step dao realm master, nor their combat power.

Before leaving the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning was not in the common seal realm. He had not been promoted to the high stages of the void realm, so Mi Xingye and He Mingye did not tell Xu Ning about the higher level martial arts system.

"At the half-step dao realm, one's strength far exceeds the true domain realm. There are many hidden elders in the Yuelan Sect, and all of them are in this realm."

Huang Zongshao also said some things that Xu Ning didn't know.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning asked again, "Do you know what kind of existence a half-step dao realm master is?"

"I only know that a half-step dao realm master has already mastered the method to advance to the dao realm, but they can't break through. I don't know the rest."

Huang Zongshao responded.

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning thought to himself. He planned to wait half a month before entering the Source Sect and see if he could find someone to ask and learn from.

After a pause, Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao, "Did Feng Changge say what goal he has after successfully refining the Demon Blood Great Pill?"

"Um…"

Huang Zongshao's expression froze.

But after seeing Xu Ning staring at him, Huang Zongshao said, "He said that once he advances to the dao realm, he will destroy the Yuelan Sect, the Thousand Flood Sect, and the other big sects in State Jifeng, building a martial arts dynasty."

"Heh…"

Xu Ning chuckled, but he was a little afraid.

If this Demon Blood Great Pill really had the effect of helping people break through to the dao realm, then Feng Changge could really do that.

'It seems that I have to return to State Jifeng as soon as possible and bring this news back…'

Xu Ning glanced at Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun.

This glance made their hearts tighten.

If Xu Ning wanted to kill them, the two would be powerless.

"Eat these pills."

Xu Ning took out four white and blue pills that gave off a cold aura.

"These are… Frozen Seal Pills!"

Xiang Nanchun's expression changed.

"As expected of an alchemist who was invited to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill, your knowledge is vast."

Xu Ning said emotionlessly.

"Frozen Seal Pills?"

Huang Zongshao gave a pondering look before he finally remembered the effect of a Frozen Seal Pill.

Once a Frozen Seal Pill was swallowed, the person who swallowed it would immediately fall asleep.

If one couldn't take the antidote within a certain time limit, they would die.

The reason why Xu Ning decided not to kill the two and let them take the Frozen Seal Pills was because he felt that they were still useful.

In regards to Demon Blood Great Pill, Xu Ning was a little worried about Mi Xingye.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun looked at each other with panicked expressions and hatred.

Huang Zongshao felt that if it weren't for Xiang Nanchun's condition, he wouldn't have encountered this Yuelan Sect expert.

Xiang Nanchun felt that if Huang Zongshao hadn't gone to find him and invited him to go to State Jifeng to refine that Demon Blood Great Pill, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Eat or die."

Xu Ning's words were straightforward.

Xu Ning had refined many types of functional medicinal pills a while ago, and these Frozen Seal Pills were one of them.

"Eat."

The two had no choice.

"You eat one, while you eat three."

Xu Ning distributed the medicine.

Xiang Nanchun was only in the void realm fourth stage so one pill was enough.

Huang Zongshao was in the void realm eighth stage so Xu Ning was worried that the medicine might be too weak, causing him to wake up early. Thus, he let him take three pills at once.

The two looked hesitant when they received the pills.

Once they swallowed it, their life would be completely in the hands of others.

However, they had to eat it now, so the two swallowed all of the Frozen Seal Pills.

As soon as they swallowed the Frozen Seal Pills, Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun's skin were instantly covered with ice crystals.

Before they could feel any chill, their consciousness completely fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Ning checked the two of them, then laid them flat on the ground.

Xu Ning had learned that their residence was rented from someone else for half a year.

For the next three months, no one would notice them if they were left here.

After doing all this, Xu Ning closed the door and walked into the courtyard.

Xu Ning looked at the fainted guards of the Phantom Blood Sect and did not hesitate. He took care of them all and wiped away their traces.

He didn't know how much blood was in Phantom Blood Sect's hands to have trained them to their current realm.

Coupled with the grudges between the Phantom Blood Sect and the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning showed no mercy.

After doing all this, Xu Ning secretly returned to the Wei Estate.

…

Half a month went by.

This morning, Xu Ning changed into a white robe and went to the Source Sect with Wei Xingfeng.

Today was the Source Sect's conference, and all the big families in Yunying City would participate.

Not only could Xu Ning witness the graceful bearings of the Source Sect disciples, but he could also witness the true strength of the Source Sect higher-ups.

The Source Sect built a high wall in the center of Yunying City.

From the outside, the Source Sect was like a city within a city.

There were disciples stationed outside the Source Sect, and people came from all directions. They were either martial arts masters or members of the big families in the city.

"Family Head Wei, are we the only two here today?"

Xu Ning asked, "The other members of the Wei family are not participating in the Source Sect's conference?"

Wei Xingfeng smiled and said, "They came early. You and I are both high-level void realm martial artists, so our status is different."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning nodded.

Afterwards, the two entered the Source Sect, and under Wei Xingfeng's lead, the two arrived at a simple courtyard.

There was a sign outside the courtyard, Elders Hall..
