Chapter 221 Island, Wine Pool

The ship was getting closer and closer to the island.

When the ship was about to reach the shore, the apes on the shore all scattered and ran towards the dense forest in the distance.

"Finally on land…"

Xu Ning got off the ship and felt at ease again.

"The golden-eyed demon ape was born here hundreds of years ago, but it awakened its ancestor's bloodline, so it matured quickly."

Wan Ye and Cyan also got off the ship. "After becoming a dao realm demon beast, it would sometimes sneak into the land of the Abyss North. Because there are more precious spirit plants in the Abyss North, it would pick some more precious spirit fruits to brew the Demon Ape Wine."

Wan Ye put away the ship and walked towards the middle of the island with Xu Ning.

This island is not small…'

Xu Ning estimated as he walked.

This was the size of at least three canton cities in State Jifeng.

Cha cha cha.

Xu Ning soon heard the sound of branches rubbing against each other.

Afterwards, they saw more than a dozen silverback apes that were more than three meters tall, hanging from the thick branches and leaves in the dense forest, rushing over and surrounding them.

'They are all void realm demon beasts. Only one of them is in the high level void realm, while the rest are in the mid or early void realm.'

Xu Ning could tell that these giant apes were not very strong.

They wouldn't be able to hurt him, much less the dao realm Wan Ye.

The apes obviously noticed the pressure coming from Wan Ye, Xu Ning, and Cyan. They opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth. They let out low roars from their throats, warning Xu Ning and the others to leave the island quickly. "Back off!"

A loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.

The deafening roar even came with a strong gust of air.

Thump thump thump!

Soon after, there were loud footsteps.

Among the trees, he saw a tall and huge figure walking towards them.

Xu Ning saw that it was a giant ape that was more than ten meters tall.

Its pupils were golden and bright, and its body was covered in golden fur. Every time its feet landed, it left pits.

The giant trees in front of it were easily broken. Its muscles seemed to contain endless power.

'Is it the golden-eyed demon ape…'

The pressure Xu Ning felt when facing a dao realm demon beast was even greater than when he first saw Wan Ye.

Xu Ning had a feeling that even if the golden-eyed demon ape only used its physical strength, he would not be able to dodge its punch. He would be smashed into meat paste.

The curious Cyan also put away its tail and hid behind Wan Ye.

As a demon beast, the bloodline pressure on Cyan was even greater.

"Wan Ye, you're finally here!"

The golden-eyed demon ape spoke in human language. Its voice was deep and full of magnetism.

A dao realm demon beast could speak human language.

This was different from Gray and Cyan who could transmit their voices. The ape was speaking through its throats.

"Jin Meng, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, but your strength seems to have improved again. You have reached the mid level of the dao realm. It seems you can already see the gate."

Wan Ye spoke to the golden-eyed demon ape.

The golden-eyed demon ape approached, and the silverback apes all left.

The pressure of the golden-eyed demon ape made them completely submit.

"I have already drunk all of the Demon Ape Wine I was going to give you the previous time. Now that a hundred years have passed, another pool has been filled with Demon Ape Wine. This time, you should take it."

The golden-eyed demon ape bent down and put its face in front of Wan Ye.

Xu Ning's clothes flutter in the breath of the golden-eyed demon ape.

"This time, I came to collect your Demon Ape Wine."

Wan Ye did not stand on ceremony.

"Okay, I owe you this favor for a hundred years, and now I can finally repay it."

The golden-eyed demon ape sounded relieved. It already had extremely high intelligence when it was in the void realm. After advancing to the dao realm, he sneaked into the Abyss North and concealed his aura, communicated with some human martial artists, learned human language and some social skills.

"This is your junior?"

The golden-eyed demon ape looked at Xu Ning. Xu Ning looked into the golden eyes. He felt like he could be killed at any time from the gaze.

"That's right, I came here to collect the Demon Ape Wine for him."

Wan Ye responded.

"Okay."

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded, its huge head swaying up and down.

"He is very strong, only one step away from being a dao realm master. If he completely absorbs and digests the pool of Demon Ape Wine, he is likely to break through to the dao realm."

The golden-eyed demon ape also sensed Xu Ning's strength.

"Yes, this is why I came here."

Wan Ye said.

"Come up."

The golden-eyed demon ape opened its palm and placed it on the ground.

Wan Ye jumped into the palm of the golden-eyed demon ape with Xu Ning and Cyan.

Carrying the two humans and a beast, the golden-eyed demon ape led them deeper into the dense forest.

"Jin Meng, you should actually listen to me.'

While walking, Wan Ye talked to the golden-eyed demon ape. "You should go to State Wansheng. The spiritual energy there is rich and resources are abundant. With your bloodline level, you can easily advance to the high level of the dao realm."

"No."

The golden-eyed demon ape responded straightforwardly, "That is not where I belong." "As a demon beast, unlike humans, we have a much lower reliance on spiritual energy. Ordinary human dao realm masters can't improve after leaving the environment of State Wansheng—they might even decline in strength instead. But as long as we continue to strengthen our bloodlines, we will be much less restricted."

The golden-eyed demon ape continued, "I was born here, this is my hometown."

After the golden-eyed demon ape finished speaking, Wan Ye shook his head and stopped persuading it. In his opinion, if the golden-eyed demon ape went to State Wansheng, its upper limit would be higher.

Moreover, there would also be golden-eyed demon apes with the same bloodline as it, which could ensure the continuation of its bloodline.

Xu Ning listened from the side. He felt that this golden-eyed demon ape was just like a human. It had complicated emotions and expectations.

Soon, the golden-eyed demon ape brought them deep into the dense forest.

There was a high mountain waterfall here. On the high mountain, there were many apes gathered together in groups of twos and threes.

They were originally chattering, but after the golden-eyed demon ape approached, they all stopped talking. The golden-eyed demon ape didn't look at the apes. It jumped with one foot and went straight into the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall was an empty independent space.

Xu Ning felt that this scene was a little familiar.

"We're here!"

The golden-eyed demon ape put them down and continued to lead them inside.

Xu Ning could see that in the cave behind the waterfall, there were giant chairs, tables, and a bed, like a simple home.

These were all made by the golden-eyed demon ape after coming into contact with human society. 'Wine fragrance…!

As he walked, Xu Ning smelled the pungent scent of alcohol.

Although the scent was strong, the more he smelled it, the more fragrant it was.

'The scent of Demon Ape Wine…'

Xu Ning twitched his nose.

He knew very well that if a mortal realm warrior came here and smelled this wine fragrance, they would immediately be drunk. "A familiar smell…"

Wan Ye also smelled the alcohol.

Although he didn't take the pool of Demon Ape Wine given to him by the golden-eyed demon ape back then, he did take away a few buckets with him. Compared to the wine of human society, this Demon Ape Wine had a different flavor.

After walking for a while, the golden-eyed demon ape brought them to a wine pool.

The wine pool covered a small area, but it was extremely deep. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Ape Wine was extremely clear, he wouldn't have been able to see the bottom. "It should be difficult for you to take away the wine in this pool at once. Your storage ring can't hold this much."

The golden-eyed demon ape said.

"It's fine."

Wan Ye said, "We'll stay on this island for a few days. After we finish drinking and digesting all the alcohol, we will leave."

The golden-eyed demon ape laughed when it heard this. Then, a violent voice echoed in the cave. "If your junior wants to digest this Demon Ape Wine, it will take at least a year!"

The golden-eyed demon ape's tone was firm.

It was the brewer of the Demon Ape Wine, so it naturally knew how strong the Demon Ape Wine was.

It was easy to drink the Demon Ape Wine, but it was very hard to completely digest the energy contained in it.

"One year it is."

Wan Ye didn't care.

"Okay, then you guys can stay here." The golden-eyed demon ape walked to the side of the wine pool, reached out its huge palm, scooped a handful, and put it into its mouth.

"The next time I brew it, it will take another hundred years…"

The golden-eyed demon ape sighed. But this was a promise to Wan Ye, so it was not a shame to give it away.

As demon beasts, their life span far exceeded that of humans. In the long life of the golden-eyed demon ape, it could brew the Demon Ape Wine a lot of times.

After scooping out some Demon Ape Wine into a big stone vat, the golden-eyed demon ape pointed at Xu Ning, gesturing for him to go to the wine pool.

"Xu Ning, go, go straight into the wine pool and drink to your heart's content." Wan Ye said to Xu Ning.

"Okay."

Xu Ning cupped his hands towards Wan Ye. "Thank you, Senior Wan Ye."

"Thank you, Senior Jin Meng." Xu Ning bowed to the golden-eyed demon ape as well.

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded in response.

"What about me, what about me?"

Cyan bit Wan Ye's trousers.

"You can try some too."

Wan Ye gestured.

When Cyan heard this, it quickly went to the wine pool and plunged into it. It drank before Xu Ning could even take a sip of it.

After taking two sips, Cyan still wanted more.

But looking at Wan Ye's eyes, he had to move away.

Afterwards, the golden-eyed demon ape took the big stone vat and left the wine pool with Wan Ye and Cyan, going to another compartment in the cave.

"Let's drink some too."

The golden-eyed demon ape placed the stone vat in front of Wan Ye.

Wan Ye didn't stand on ceremony. He just picked it up and drank it.

But immediately after he drank it, Wan Ye's expression suddenly changed. His face turned pale, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

"Master!"

Cyan quickly stepped forward with a look of concern in his eyes.

"Wan Ye, your injuries…"

The golden-eyed demon ape had a slightly serious expression when he saw this.

He was old friends with Wan Ye, so he knew that Wan Ye had old injuries.

"It's fine…"

Wan Ye took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it.

Report chapter

Chapter 222 Destroying the Yuelan Sect?

After swallowing the pill, Wan Ye's expression was much better.

The golden-eyed demon ape sensed Wan Ye's physical condition and asked, "How long can you last in your current state?".

"If I maintain my current state and don't fight or get injured again, I should still have a few years left to live…"

Wan Ye responded.

"Is that so…?"

The golden-eyed demon ape could feel that Wan Ye seemed to have already calmly accepted this fact.

It didn't feel any panic from Wan Ye's tone.

"I had a lot of regrets before, but after meeting Xu Ning, I feel lucky." Wan Ye said.

"Xu Ning, that junior…"

The golden eyes of the golden-eyed demon ape flashed.

Wan Ye nodded. "He will be the hope of rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect."

Xu Ning leaned down and drank a mouthful of Demon Ape Wine.

The moment it entered his mouth, Xu Ning first felt a tinge of spiciness, with a tinge of sweetness following after it.

Before he could praise the taste of the Demon Ape Wine, a notification popped up on the Martial Arts Panel in front of Xu Ning.

Discovered 100 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

'One mouthful is 100 units?'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

There was a lot of Demon Ape Wine in the pool. Xu Ning estimated that there were definitely more than 300,000 units of energy in there, which was definitely enough for him to break through to the dao realm.

After discovering this, Xu Ning immediately jumped into the wine pool.

Discovered 100 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

Xu Ning's absorption of energy would be much quicker if he dipped his entire body in to soak in the wine.

This way, Xu Ning could directly absorb the energy in the Demon Ape Wine.

Although absorbing it like this wouldn't allow the taste of the Demon Ape Wine to be enjoyed, it could greatly increase the efficiency.

Otherwise, Xu Ning could only drink while forcing the water he had absorbed out of his body, which would be very troublesome.

Energy was accumulating rapidly at 100 unit intervals, and his energy reserves on the Martial Arts Panel were rapidly increasing.

'With my current speed, I can absorb the energy in the Demon Ape Wine in two days at most!

Xu Ning thought to himself.

'Once all this energy is absorbed, I will advance to the dao realm…'

Xu Ning was excited. This time, Wan Ye and the golden-eyed demon ape had helped him a lot.

Xu Ning was grateful for this.

At the same time.

State Chungu

The temporary residence of the Jade Night Sect.

"Sect Master!"

An elder walked into the sealed room where Sect Master Lu Zhanxing was. "Elder Luan, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhanxing was sitting quietly, but after Elder Luan Shijian arrived, he opened his eyes.

"Sect Master, twelve of the seventeen states of the Abyss North have been infiltrated by our people, and we have control of the main sects of three states. Our control network in the seventeen states of the Abyss North has been spread. Now, we just have to wait for news of the Demon Beast Scroll and Old Man Wan Ye."

Luan Shijian reported to Sect Master Lu Zhanxing

"Good job."

Lu Zhanxing said, "As long as we spread a wide net, even if it takes a lot of time, we can dig out the traces of the Demon Beast Scroll and Old Man Wan Ye." "But Sect Master, if we make such a big move, will we alert Old Man Wan Ye and force him to escape from the seventeen states of the Abyss North?"

Luan Shijian was in doubt.

"It's okay. As long as I can find any clues about him, I will personally check it out. Even if he escapes from the seventeen states of the Abyss North, I can still chase after him. The current Old Man Wan Ye is no longer the pill materialization realm master from back then. He is currently seriously injured and his realm has fallen. Currently, he is at most a body smelting realm master. He is no match for

me."

Lu Zhanxing's tone was full of confidence.

"Indeed. With the Sect Master here, as long as Old Man Wan Ye gives himself away, you will definitely sniff him out."

After Luan Shijian heard this, he said to Lu Zhanxing. He then seemed to remember something and spoke again.

"By the way, Sect Master, there is one more thing…" "Tell me."

Lu Zhanxing motioned for Luan Shijian to continue.

"We have investigated the disappearance of Mo Yixian's group." Luan Shijian said cautiously.

Lu Zhanxing frowned. "What is the specific situation?"

In Lu Zhanxing's eyes, the Source Sect in State Feiyun was the sect he was wary of the most.

He didn't want to offend the Source Sect, because the people from the Source Sect in State Wansheng might have already secretly arrived at the Abyss North.

Although the Jade Night Sect was not afraid of them, they did not want to have any friction with them.

However, although they had their concerns, the Jade Night Sect did not want to let it hinder their sect's actions, so the Jade Night Sect planned to secretly control the big states around State Feiyun and isolate State Feiyun.

However, the reality exceeded their expectations. The people who infiltrated State Hurricane and State Jifeng all faced problems.

State Hurricane was still fine, they just couldn't control the important sects. But none of the people they sent to State Jifeng returned alive.

Therefore, Lu Zhanxing could only send out disciples to secretly investigate.

And this time, Luan Shijian brought the result. "The reason why State Hurricane and State Jifeng are so difficult to penetrate is because the major sects in these two states have been on guard."

Lu Zhanxing raised his eyebrows. "How could they have been prepared?" Lu Zhanxing asked, then he realized. "Could it be that the Source Sect revealed the news?"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Luan Shijian gave Lu Zhanxing an affirmative answer. "Before we arrived, State Feiyun, State Hurricane, and State Jifeng had already formed an alliance to help each other."

"This Source Sect…"

A hint of coldness appeared in Lu Zhanxing's eyes.

"What about Mo Yixian's group? Why is there no news after they went to State Jifeng?"

Lu Zhanxing asked again.

"According to the news from the scouting disciples, all of the disciples led by Mo Yixian were all captured except for him."

Luan Shijian said, "And Mo Yixian himself apparently escaped during the fight, but there was no news of him afterwards. He is probably either seriously injured, dead, or…" "Or he ran away because he was afraid of being punished by the sect?"

There was anger in Lu Zhanxing's tone.

Luan Shijian was silent.

After all, Mo Yixian was a core disciple of the sect. If he really fled for his life, then the other disciples of the Jade Night Sect would be tempted to do the same.

"Don't publicize this matter yet…"

Lu Zhanxing said.

"Yes."

Luan Shijian responded.

"Also, which sect captured our people?" Lu Zhanxing asked again. "It's a sect called the Moon Gazing Sect."

Luan Shijian said.

"Moon Gazing Sect?"

Lu Zhanxing knew about the top sects in the seventeen states of the Abyss North.

He only knew that the Yuelan Sect and the Thousand Flood Sect were the only top sects in State Jifeng. "Yes, a small sect."

Luan Shijian continued, "Of course, a small sect can't suppress Mo Yixian and the others in terms of strength. What caused this situation was a Yuelan Sect disciple. It can be said that the one who embarrassed us this time was not the Moon Gazing Sect, but the Yuelan Sect."

"Yuelan Sect…"

Lu Zhanxing sneered and said in an unfriendly tone, "The Yuelan Sect must have colluded with the Source Sect to fight against us. In this case, let's start with them."

"State Feiyun, State Hurricane, State Jifeng, don't you want to be tough? Then let's destroy the Yuelan Sect first."

Lu Zhanxing's methods were domineering. "Let the other sects see what happens if they resist us."

"Elder Luan Shijian, you will personally do this. You have advanced to the dao realm first stage the body smelting realm for a long time. You are also a powerhouse among the body smelting realm masters. It will not be difficult for you to lead twenty disciples to State Jifeng and destroy the Yuelan Sect."

"Yes, Sect Master."

After receiving Lu Zhanxing's order, Luan Shijian quickly responded.

In his opinion, this was not a challenge.

Although he knew that there might be a half-step dao realm master who would forcibly break through in the Yuelan Sect, this was still not enough to be a threat for him.

"Go ahead."

Lu Zhanxing waved his hand, and Luan Shijian left the secret room. "Getting the sect token and finding the Demon Beast Scroll, I have to achieve the goal of this trip!'

Lu Zhanxing clenched his fists.

Two days went by.

While Xu Ning was absorbing the energy from the pool of Demon Ape Wine, the golden-eyed demon ape and Wan Ye did not disturb him. They even went out of the cave behind the waterfall, allowing Xu Ning to have a quiet environment to digest the alcohol.

"Your junior Xu Ning has been drinking the Demon Ape Wine for two days. I wonder how much he has drunk and how much alcohol he has digested?"

The golden-eyed demon ape said.

"Let's go and take a look."

Wan Ye was a little worried that Xu Ning had drunk too much of the Demon Ape Wine, causing his body to be overloaded and suffer a backlash.

Afterwards, the golden-eyed demon ape brought Wan Ye into the cave behind the waterfall.

"Hmm?"

As soon as it returned to the cave, the golden-eyed demon ape acutely noticed that the fragrance of the Demon Ape Wine in the cave was almost gone.

Wan Ye also noticed this.

Immediately after, they quickly rushed deeper into the cave.

Before they arrived at the pool of Demon Ape Wine, they discovered that Xu Ning had already sunk to the bottom of the pool with his eyes closed.

The wine fragrance that was originally everywhere in the air only had a faint smell left.

"Could it be…"

Seeing this, the golden-eyed demon ape's heart trembled.

He quickly scooped up a handful of liquid from the wine pool and put it into his mouth.

"How did this happen?!"

The golden-eyed demon ape was shocked. "The Demon Ape Wine in the pool has turned into clear water. It has also lost its alcohol content and medicinal power!"

"Xu Ning dove straight into the wine pool and absorbed the alcohol and medicinal effects of the Demon Ape Wine!"

The golden-eyed demon ape's eyes widened.

It was not a pity that the Demon Ape Wine was wasted, but Xu Ning could easily explode and die with this absorption method.

"What?"

Wan Ye also panicked.

He knew the consequences of absorbing the alcohol directly from the Demon Ape Wine.

Wan Ye was about to fish Xu Ning out of the wine pool to check his situation.

Yet at this moment, the golden-eyed demon ape stopped Wan Ye. "Don't worry, he is fine."

"I can feel that his condition is stable, and he is still steadily absorbing the alcohol around him."

Wan Ye breathed a sigh of relief at the golden-eyed demon ape's words.

Report chapter

Chapter 223 Advance to the Dao Realm! Wind Smoke Gourd!

"Strange…" The golden-eyed demon ape let out a mutter of doubt.

"After absorbing so much medicinal power from the wine, why can't I sense anything…"

In the golden-eyed demon ape's perception, Xu Ning was like a vortex. After the medicinal power in the Demon Ape Wine was swallowed into his body, it disappeared.

"Your junior seems to have a lot of secrets."

The golden-eyed demon ape said to Wan Ye.

At this moment, Wan Ye calmed down, knowing that Xu Ning was not in danger.

"Maybe…"

Wan Ye noticed Xu Ning's abnormality, but he didn't care.

He had long guessed that Xu Ning must have had a fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, it would be difficult for him to reach his current realm in less than three years.

Of course, Wan Ye would never expect Xu Ning to have a support system such as the Martial Arts Panel.

"Let's go out and not disturb him."

Wan Ye took the initiative to speak.

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded. It knew how strong the alcohol in the Demon Ape Wine was.

After Xu Ning absorbed this, he might be able to break through to the dao realm soon.

Wan Ye and the golden-eyed demon ape left the waterfall cave again.

Xu Ning, who was under the wine pool, had sensed the arrival of the golden-eyed demon ape and Wan Ye, but he did not surface and talk to them.

Because once he surfaced, they would definitely ask him how he could absorb and hold so much medicinal power and alcohol from the Demon Ape Wine.

If it was going to happen, he might as well finish absorbing the last bits of the energy and break through before finding an excuse to dodge their questions.

The notification of energy absorption still appeared in front of Xu Ning's eyes and echoed in his ears. He was still mechanically confirming the absorption over and over again.

'My energy reserves have reached the requirement for me to advance to the dao realm!'

Xu Ning's energy reserves had exceeded 400,000 units.

He had absorbed more than 300,000 units of energy in the wine pool. He had accumulated tens of thousands of units of energy previous to this fortuitous encounter.

'There should still be more than 20,000 units of energy left in the pool…'

Xu Ning estimated in his heart.

Time continued to pass.

Finally, with the last notification of energy absorption, Xu Ning completely absorbed the energy in the Demon Ape Wine.

He glanced at his Martial Arts Panel.

His energy reserves had exceeded 450,000 units.

'I can advance to the dao realm!'

Xu Ning jumped up from the bottom of the wine pool.

Or more accurately, he jumped out from the water pool. Because the liquid in the Demon Ape Wine Pool had become colorless and odorless, turning into a pool of clear water.

Xu Ning controlled his excitement and clicked the "" sign.

Consume 300,000 units of energy to advance to the first stage of the dao realm?

Yes / No

Xu Ning noticed that the Martial Arts Panel prompt had changed.

Previously, the panel would say "Consume xxx units of energy to advance the xxx technique", but now, it was directly stating that he would advance in the realm.

'After advancing to the dao realm, everyone's path will no longer be the same, so there will no longer be a uniform dao realm technique. In this realm, one can only rely on oneself to break through one realm after another.' This tidbit of martial arts knowledge was what Wan Ye had told him when he was sailing on the sea.

"Hu…"

Xu Ning took a deep breath and chose to confirm.

The next moment, 300,000 units of energy were consumed, and the six attribute seeds in Xu Ning's body instantly exploded.

The terrifying energy spread throughout Xu Ning's body.

"The power of attributes is fusing into my body and transforming it!'

Xu Ning could feel his body gradually changing

After the attribute power fused into his body, Xu Ning's skin, fascia, bones, internal organs, and every organ in his body were transformed.

The transformation was accompanied by searing pain.

It was as if his body was being melted and reforged.

This kind of pain was nothing to Xu Ning. After all, he had experienced the mental test in the Red Sea Demon Lord's mystic realm, so his will was extremely firm.

'The body smelting realm is a brand new body reconstruction process!'

Although his body was in pain, Xu Ning was willing to endure it.

The first stage of the dao realm was different from the first stage of the void realm.

The transformation of the mold body realm was to allow a void realm martial artist to better bear the power of attributes.

But the body reforging of the body smelting realm was to allow a dao realm master to integrate the power of attributes into one's body and fundamentally change the mortal body. The void realm was a major realm that separated one from the body and made one rely on the power of attributes, but the dao realm allowed the power to return to the physical body, achieving a major realm where the physical body and the power in the body were combined to gain an explosive force.

This was why after advancing to the dao realm, their life span would increase further, and why they could also ensure that their appearance would not age. 'The more attribute seeds there are, the better the effect of transforming the body. After advancing further in the dao realm, my foundation will become deeper and my strength will be greater!' Xu Ning knew very well how helpful the condensation of the six attribute seeds was to him.

Wan Ye also noticed this, and that was why he chose to place the hope of rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect on him.

Xu Ning's body was still changing.

Finally, Xu Ning roared out alongside a loud rumble that came out from his body. 'The dao realm body with water and fire dual attributes has been successfully refined!'

Xu Ning felt the surging power in his body. 'This sense of power…' Xu Ning felt the abundant power from the flesh of his body, and he was a little intoxicated.

In the void realm, because attribute power was too strong, void realm martial artists all ignored the importance of the physical body and only used attribute power to fight enemies.

But now, attribute power had been fused into his body, which allowed his physical strength to undergo a qualitative change! "Martial Arts Panel!"

Xu Ning's Martial Arts Panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Dao Realm First Stage: Body Smelting Realm

Martial Arts:

Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll (Attribute Seed: 6)

Water Cross Sword (Ninth Level) Bright Fire Sword (Ninth Level) Tidal Fist (Ninth Level)

Volcano Fist (Ninth Level)

Water Shadow Aberration (Ninth Level)

Flame Breath Bone Sutra (Ninth Level)

Life Pill Sutra (Ninth Level)

Inkmoon Pill Sutra (Ninth Level)

Available energy: 151,500 units

'Dao realm, success!'

Xu Ning discovered that the dao realm had been reclassified by the Martial Arts Panel and was placed in the realm column.

"The techniques after advancing to the dao realm are all techniques that combine attributes with the physical body. I don't have them yet, but it's okay, I'll just ask Senior Wan Ye for them later…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

This was the advantage of being watched over by someone. There was no need to specially search for the required resources. "Martial Arts Panel, delete!"

Xu Ning controlled the Martial Arts Panel with his mind.

After Xu Ning advanced to the void realm previously, he hid the mortal realm techniques and only kept the void realm techniques.

This time, Xu Ning hid the void realm techniques again and simplified the usable energy.

The Martial Arts Panel refreshed again.

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Dao Realm First Stage: Body Smelting Realm

Martial Arts:

Available energy: 150,000 units

Once the void realm technique was hidden, the martial arts column was empty.

The simple and clean interface made Xu Ning feel comfortable.

"Xu Ning!"

Just as he advanced, Wan Ye, the golden-eyed demon ape, and Cyan all rushed in.

"You advanced!"

The golden eyes of the golden-eyed demon ape flashed.

"The first stage of the dao realm, body smelting realm! Xu Ning, you did it!"

Wan Ye trembled. Xu Ning had advanced to the dao realm much faster than he expected.

Only Cyan had a strange look in its wolf eyes. It was happy, suspicious, and a little afraid.

Xu Ning's advancement to the dao realm was both a good and a bad thing for it.

Wan Ye had said that when Xu Ning went to State Wansheng, it must follow him, and Xu Ning would be its new master.

It was definitely a good thing for him to be protected by his powerful master. However, it was afraid that Xu Ning would hate it for clashing with him previously.

Cyan had already imagined itself interacting with Xu Ning and Gray.

By then, he would become a dog who was bullied by his master and a kitten.

'I have to find a way to repair our relationship…'

Cyan rolled its eyes.

"Yes, I have advanced to the body smelting realm!"

Xu Ning thanked the two again. "Thank you Senior Wan Ye, thank you Senior Jin Meng. If it weren't for the both of you, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the dao realm so quickly!"

"Senior Wan Ye, please hand me the sect token!"

Xu Ning went straight to the topic.

He had received a huge favor from Wan Ye, so he obviously couldn't refuse to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect. Moreover, rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect and becoming the new sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect was extremely beneficial to him.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After seeing Xu Ning take the initiative to accept the sect token, Wan Ye was overjoyed.

This also showed Xu Ning's character. At least for now, he was a man of his word. "The future of the Swallow Heron Sect depends on you."

Wan Ye took out the sect token with both hands and handed it to Xu Ning. His expression was serious, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Xu Ning took the sect token respectfully with both hands.

Xu Ning knew very well that he had not only received a token, but also the hope of rebuilding a sect in State Wansheng.

After looking at the sect badge carefully, Xu Ning put it into his storage ring.

"You used my Demon Ape Wine to advance to the dao realm, so it can be considered fate."

The golden-eyed demon ape suddenly said, "In this case, I will also give you a treasure."

With that, the golden-eyed demon ape raised its head and opened its mouth.

In an instant, a pure white gourd emerged from the mouth of the golden-eyed demon аре.

"This is for you!"

The golden-eyed demon ape threw it in front of Xu Ning

The pure white gourd fell to the ground with a bang. This pure white gourd was about a meter tall and half a meter wide. It looked ordinary on the surface.

"This is… a secret treasure?!"

Xu Ning did not recognize the value of this object, but Wan Ye looked surprised.

"Yes, this is a secret treasure."

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded and looked at Xu Ning. "This Wind Smoke Gourd is for you. In the future, it can be one of your trump cards."

Report chapter

Chapter 224 Enemy Arrives

'It's actually a secret treasure?' Xu Ning was also surprised by the generosity of the golden-eyed demon ape. He had learned from Wan Ye that some dao realm masters would use secret treasures in addition to dao weapons.

Secret treasures were not refined by humans. They were actually strange objects that were birthed by the world. They were then refined and worked on to activate the power contained in the strange object.

There were strong and weak secret treasures. A weak secret treasure might not be comparable to an ordinary dao weapon, but a legendary top secret treasure could even increase the user's strength by ten times.

Of course, most secret treasures were stronger than dao weapons.

"Senior Jin Meng, I can't accept this Wind Smoke Gourd."

Xu Ning refused. "I have already received the benefits of your Demon Ape Wine, so I can't take this treasure anymore."

The golden-eyed demon ape shook his head. "Take it. This Wind Smoke Gourd is useless to me. It was actually refined by a human. I can only use secret treasures that resonate with my bloodline power." Although the golden-eyed demon ape said this, Xu Ning couldn't ignore the value of the Wind Smoke Gourd.

The reason why it took out the Wind Smoke Gourd was because it wanted to form a good relationship with Xu Ning.

The golden-eyed demon ape had predicted that Xu Ning would take a year to digest the Demon Ape Wine, so it had obviously underestimated Xu Ning. In the end, Xu Ning only took two days to completely subvert his one-year prediction. The golden-eyed demon ape felt that this kind of genius was hard to come by.

"Xu Ning, accept it."

Wan Ye said, "Jin Meng is also a senior, so don't refuse a gift from your senior."

On one hand, Wan Ye saw through the golden-eyed demon ape's intentions, and on the other hand, he felt that Xu Ning would be safer with a secret treasure.

Hearing this, Xu Ning did not refuse further.

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Jin Meng."

Xu Ning finally accepted the gift from the golden-eyed demon ape.

"This secret treasure, the Wind Smoke Gourd, can absorb terrifying poisonous gas, miasma, and so on. After refining it into gray fog and wind smoke, you can use it for yourself. However, every time you use it, the gray fog and wind smoke inside will be exhausted. And once the fog inside is exhausted, you have to find a way to replenish it. The more terrifying the poisonous gas and miasma that you absorb, the more powerful it will be after being refined."

"I had accidentally obtained this treasure, but because it was refined by a human, I can't use it, so you have to experience its power for yourself."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning looked at the pure white gourd in front of him and nodded.

In his opinion, this looked a little like a demonic path tool.

The golden-eyed demon ape continued, "A secret treasure is different from a dao weapon. When using a dao weapon, you only need to engrave a manipulation mark, but a secret treasure requires you to drip your blood into it. If one steals a dao weapon, they only need to erase the manipulation mark. But if one wants to steal a secret treasure, you can only kill its owner."

"Quick, bind it with your blood."

The golden-eyed demon ape urged. "Okay."

Xu Ning did not hesitate. He opened up a wound in his hand, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it on the Wind Smoke Gourd.

The blood bead on Xu Ning's finger was bright red and crystal clear. It contained terrifying amounts of energy.

If some unorthodox demonic path warriors obtained this drop of blood, they could cultivate a demonic technique at a rapid pace.

Plop!

After the blood droplet dripped onto the surface of the Wind Smoke Gourd, it made a slight noise before completely integrating into it.

Immediately after, the Wind Smoke Gourd began to tremble. Xu Ning then felt a strange connection between him and the pure white gourd.

With a thought, the pure white gourd suddenly flew up and quickly shrank from a meter tall and half meter wide to only the size of two palms.

After flying up, it landed straight into Xu Ning's palm.

Xu Ning could sense a strange aura inside the Wind Smoke Gourd.

Once he released it, he could command it to fight.

'With the help of the Martial Arts Panel, immediately after advancing, I will be at the peak of the body smelting realm. Moreover, I have the foundation of six attribute seeds and the Wind Smoke Gourd. With these, I have a high probability of defeating an astral qi realm master!

This was the advantage of the Martial Arts Panel. Xu Ning knew that his strength was rapidly increasing Perhaps he now had enough strength to fight against the people of the Jade Night Sect.

"Thank you, Senior Jin Meng, for giving me the Wind Smoke Gourd. If you have anything you need in the future, just say the word." Xu Ning put the Wind Smoke Gourd into his storage ring and said to the golden-eyed demon ape. "Okay."

The golden-eyed demon ape was quite satisfied with Xu Ning's attitude.

"Xu Ning, now that you have advanced to the dao realm, what are your plans in the future?"

Wan Ye, who had not spoken for a while, asked.

Xu Ning had told him that only after advancing to the dao realm and expelling the Jade Night Sect would he go to State Wansheng.

"I plan to deal with the troubles of the Jade Night Sect first."

Xu Ning expressed his thoughts directly.

"But you are only in the early stages of the body smelting realm. You are still not comparable to the Sect Master and the elders of the Jade Night Sect."

Wan Ye said with concern. He was afraid that Xu Ning would let his advancement get in his head and fight the people of the Jade Night Sect.

e

If he accidentally died, it would be a huge loss. "If this was in the past, I really didn't have much confidence, but after Senior Jin Meng gave me the Wind Smoke Gourd, I am more confident."

Xu Ning knew that words couldn't convince Wan Ye, so he was ready to prove it with his strength.

Xu Ning shouted and activated his strength.

Now that the six attribute seeds had perfectly integrated into Xu Ning's body, when he activated his full strength, his body emitted a layer of light.

Blue and red colors intertwined above the light. "This is…"

The golden-eyed demon ape and Wan Ye's expressions changed again.

"This is the result of perfectly integrating one's attribute seeds into one's body!"

Wan Ye was shocked.

When a body smelting realm master just advanced, the attribute seeds would only briefly fuse into their body at the start.

Only with further practice could one perfectly integrate the attribute seeds into their body.

And when one integrated them perfectly, one would have the qualifications to advance to the second stage dao realm. But now, Xu Ning had just advanced, but he had already perfectly integrated the seeds.

Moreover, Xu Ning had integrated six attribute seeds into his body. The difficulty of integrating his attribute seeds was much higher than that of an ordinary body smelting realm martial artist.

'This can only mean that when he was in the void realm ninth stage true domain realm, his foundation was already terrifying! His foundation was so deep that once he breaks through, he will be at the peak of the body smelting realm!'

Although the golden-eyed demon ape was a demon beast, it had a lot of experience, and he deeply understood the martial arts system of a human dao realm master.

"With my current comprehensive strength, I can at least protect my life in front of the Jade Night Sect's astral qi realm sect master."

Xu Ning said, "After the other party knows my strength, they will definitely have concerns and won't fight us head-on. My appearance will also give them a strong sense of intimidation, causing the people of the Jade Night Sect to not be as reckless as before."

Xu Ning's words were very restrained. He felt that he had the strength to defeat the astral qi realm sect master.

Wan Ye fell into deep thought.

"What sect is the Jade Night Sect? Are you in trouble?"

The golden-eyed demon ape asked.

Seeing the golden-eyed demon ape was confused, Xu Ning explained.

"These outsiders came to the Abyss North?"

After hearing this, the golden-eyed demon ape rolled its eyes. "Do you need my help?" Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

The golden-eyed demon ape was a peak early-stage dao realm demon beast, and its strength was comparable to a dao realm third stage master. If it took action, the Jade Night Sect would definitely be driven back to State Wansheng. But after thinking about it, Xu Ning refused the proposal of the golden-eyed demon ape. "No need, Senior Jin Meng."

This had nothing to do with the golden-eyed demon ape. After all, he had already received too many benefits from it. He shouldn't push his luck further.

"I feel that I have enough strength to stabilize the current situation."

Xu Ning was full of confidence.

"In this case, I won't get involved."

The golden-eyed demon ape did not insist.

"If that is the case, let's return to the land of the Abyss North."

When Wan Ye saw Xu Ning's firm stance, he respected Xu Ning's choice.

"Okay."

Xu Ning responded.

"Jin Meng, we're leaving."

Wan Ye said to the golden-eyed demon ape.

"Okay."

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded. "Senior Jin Meng, we will take our leave first."

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

Afterwards, Jin Meng personally sent Wan Ye and Xu Ning to the shore of the island.

After bidding farewell again, Wan Ye took out the silver ship and carried Xu Ning and Cyan away.

On the ship.

"Senior Wan Ye, do you have any dao realm techniques in your hand? I want to practice them."

Xu Ning said to Wan Ye.

Now that he had accepted the sect token, he didn't think it was inappropriate to make such a request. "Dao realm techniques?" Wan Ye who was steering the ship laughed.

"How can there be dao realm techniques in the early stages of the dao realm?".

Wan Ye explained, "Only after reaching the fourth stage of the dao realm will you gain similar fighting methods like techniques. Before that, the techniques you learned in the void realm are enough." "The first three stages of the dao realm are almost entirely dependent on the power of the physical body. You don't have to worry about this at all."

"Is that so…"

After hearing Wan Ye's explanation, Xu Ning realized that he was too impatient.

Afterwards, Wan Ye continued to drive the ship.

A few days later.

State Jifeng.

Elder Luan Shijian, who was entrusted by Sect Master Lu Zhanxing, had already arrived in State Jifeng with twenty high level void realm disciples.

"The fifteen of you, go to the Moon Gazing Sect and rescue our people, then get rid of the Sect Master and the elders of the Moon Gazing Sect."

Luan Shijian pointed out fifteen of them and ordered.

"Yes, Elder Luan."

The fifteen selected disciples responded respectfully.

Among these fifteen people, several were half-step dao realm masters, and none were weaker than Senior Brother Mo.

"The others, follow me to the Yuelan Sect."

Luan Shijian ordered again and rushed towards the Yuelan Sect with the other five disciples.

An hour later, Luan Shijian and five other disciples appeared in front of the Yuelan Sect.

"Who is approaching the Yuelan Sect?"

The disciples stationed outside the sect had already noticed Luan Shijian and the others.

They had already reacted and reported in secret while being on guard.

Luan Shijian ignored the disciple and punched the ground. Immediately, spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and the entire Yuelan Sect shook.

Report chapter

Chapter 225 Piercing through with One Knife!

"The Sect Master and the elders of the Yuelan Sect, show yourselves!"

Luan Shijian's voice spread throughout the Yuelan Sect.

Everyone in the Yuelan Sect panicked.

Luan Shijian wanted to destroy the Yuelan Sect, but he also wanted to attack head-on, revealing his identity and creating a greater panic, letting the other sects in the seventeen states of the Abyss North know how terrifying the Jade Night Sect was, making them afraid to resist.

At this moment.

Inside the Yuelan Sect's assembly hall.

Mi Xingye, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui sat together.

They were the strongest people in the Yuelan Sect, so they stayed here to guard the sect.

When the Yuelan Sect suddenly trembled and Luan Shijian's voice spread throughout the sect, the five people's expressions changed drastically.

They could all sense that a terrifying aura had arrived outside of the Yuelan Sect.

The owner of the terrifying aura was like a light in the night, so powerful that it was impossible to ignore.

"A dao realm master!"

Qiu Renshan suddenly stood up and looked outside the sect with a shocked expression.

"It's the people from the Jade Night Sect!"

The others also stood up. "They actually sent a dao realm master, what are they planning to do?"

They all had a bad feeling.

In the past, they only sent their disciples to work, but this time, a dao realm master personally took action.

Qiu Renshan and the others did not believe that the arrival of a dao realm master was just a formality.

"Yuan Cheng!"

Qiu Renshan suddenly looked at Yuan Cheng. "Elder Qiu!"

Yuan Cheng had a serious expression. He knew that Qiu Renshan was going to issue an order.

"Go to the Source Sect and tell them that a dao realm master has come to the Yuelan Sect!"

Qiu Renshan said, "The dao realm masters of the Source Sect in State Wansheng have probably arrived. Go find them and ask for help."

"Okay!"

Yuan Cheng knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he immediately moved and fled through the back of the sect.

He knew that he was the weakest, so staying behind would not help much.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Qiu Renshan said.

"Okay!"

The other three also went outside the sect in a flash.

They all knew very well that the people in the sect must have been scared. If they did not appear, then the disciples in the sect would panic even more.

Four figures appeared outside the sect in the next moment.

In front of them stood Luan Shijian and five high level void realm disciples.

'He really is a dao realm master…'

Faced with Luan Shijian, Mi Xingye, Qiu Renshan and the other two felt an almost tangible sense of pressure.

They felt suffocated from this sensation.

It was like when they encountered a void realm martial artist when they were in the mortal realm.

"Who are you?!"

Sect Master Mi Xingye's voice spread throughout the sect.

Although he knew that the opponent was a strong enemy, Mi Xingye still asked loudly.

His voice spread throughout the Yuelan Sect.

He had to let all the disciples of the sect hear his voice. Only then would they calm down.

"Jade Night Sect of State Wansheng, Dao Realm Master Luan Shijian!"

Luan Shijian stated his identity.

"Why did you come to the Yuelan Sect with such aggressiveness?" Qiu Renshan took a step forward, proving that he would not lose in terms of momentum.

Behind him, Mi Xingye and the other two were also highly alert, ready to attack at any time. Especially Du Yuan and Duan Qinghui, they were already secretly preparing to forcibly break through to the dao realm first stage.

Although the two of them had condensed two attribute seeds, if they forcibly broke through, not only would their foundation be insufficient, but more importantly, the process of integrating their attribute seeds would also be affected.

"A few days ago, a disciple of your Yuelan Sect captured disciples of my sect for no reason, and he even killed a core disciple. He is simply violent and cruel. This time, I came to seek justice!"

Luan Shijian was aggressive and twisted the facts.

The missing Senior Brother Mo had actually been killed in his words.

The four people's expressions changed at the same time.

They all knew that the disciple Luan Shijian was talking about was Xu Ning from the news Xu Ning had sent back earlier.

"Nonsense!"

As Xu Ning's master, Mi Xingye also walked out.

He had also advanced to a half-step dao realm master. Otherwise, the pressure he would have to bear when facing Luan Shijian would be even greater. At that point, he wouldn't even dare to look at Luan Shijian directly.

ev

ven

"Your Jade Night Sect disciples were the ones who provoked and killed people first! Moreover, those Jade Night Sect disciples were only captured, with none of them killed."

Mi Xingye argued.

But Luan Shijian didn't care about this. He only needed an excuse.

"Hand over that disciple, otherwise today will be the day your Yuelan Sect is destroyed!"

Luan Shijian's voice spread to every corner of the Yuelan Sect.

The disciples who had just calmed down were anxious again.

All the disciples had heard Luan Shijian's self-introduction as a dao realm master.

Now that he said he wanted to destroy the Yuelan Sect, everyone panicked.

"Don't go too far!"

Qiu Renshan had already begun to activate his dao realm method and began to activate his attribute seed, preparing to forcibly advance to the dao realm.

"Are you handing him over or not?" Luan Shijian glanced coldly at the four of them.

"No."

Qiu Renshan said without backing down.

Not to mention that Xu Ning was not in the sect, there was no way to hand him over.

Even if Xu Ning was in the sect, they would not do this.

If an outsider forced them to hand over their disciples for protection, the entire sect would be disappointed.

If he really did that, the hearts of the Yuelan Sect would disperse, and there would only be one ending, that was the sect dissolving.

"In this case, we can only fight!"

With Luan Shijian's order, the five disciples behind him turned into afterimages and entered the sect.

"Xingye, you deal with them, we will deal with this dao realm master!"

Qiu Renshan ordered.

Although Mi Xingye was the sect master, after Qiu Renshan came out of seclusion, everyone followed his orders.

"Yes!"

Mi Xingye glanced at the three resolute elders, gritted his teeth, and entered the sect to attack the five enemy disciples.

He had to go back and join forces with the high level void realm martial artists in the sect to deal with the five enemy disciples together and ensure the safety of the disciples.

Mi Xingye turned around and entered the sect, but Luan Shijian did not stop him.

There was a faint look of mockery on his face.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from Qiu Renshan's body.

He forcibly broke through the shackles of the void realm and was promoted to become an official dao realm master.

"Forcefully breaking through to the dao realm…"

The corner of Luan Shijian's mouth curved into a disdainful smile. "By doing this, your foundation will be completely wasted…"

"Moreover, what's the point of this? A body smelting realm master who forcibly broke through is nothing in front of me!"

Luan Shijian suddenly disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was in front of Qiu Renshan.

'So fast!

Qiu Renshan couldn't react for a moment.

"Ha!"

Luan Shijian threw out a punch.

Qiu Renshan quickly reacted and blocked.

Bang!

In an instant, Qiu Renshan was sent flying.

Even though he had just broken through to the body smelting realm, there was still a huge gap between him and Luan Shijian.

The bones in Qiu Renshan's arm began to crack.

Moreover, between the cracks, there was the anti-healing power of the dao realm.

'It's the terrifying power of the fusion between attribute power and bodily power…'

Qiu Renshan also knew that after reaching the dao realm, his physical strength would rise exponentially. And the combination of his flesh, blood and attribute power would result in an even greater power. Luan Shijian's punch just now could completely shatter a small mountain. If he hadn't forcibly broken through just now, he would have been killed by the punch.

"We're also here!"

There were two more explosions.

Du Yuan and Duan Qinghui also forcibly broke through to the body smelting realm.

The two took out their dao weapons and attacked Luan Shijian.

If they used a dao weapon after advancing to the dao realm, they would be able to unleash an even greater force.

Qiu Renshan also endured the pain and took out his dao weapon. The three of them surrounded Luan Shijian.

Seeing this, Luan Shijian did not panic at all. He took out his brass knuckle dao weapon and put it on his hand.

He took the initiative to face the three of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The four figures turned into afterimages as they fought frantically. The ground was completely cracked underneath them and deep pits appeared frequently. Even the mountain next to it was affected. Cracks began to appear on its surface, as if it would collapse at any time.

Pfft!

In just a few dozen breaths, one of Du Yuan's flaws was caught by Luan Shijian and he got hit by a punch.

Luan Shijian's dao realm strength combined with the knuckle dao weapon pierced a bloody hole in Du Yuan's chest.

The residual power of the dao realm spread into Du Yuan's body.

Du Yuan suddenly turned into a kite with a broken string. He was thrown into the air before losing consciousness. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. "Du Yuan!"

Qiu Renshan was furious.

Duan Qinghui's eyes were fierce.

Although his relationship with Qiu Renshan and Du Yuan was average, they were all united in the face of a powerful enemy.

'I'm going all out!'

Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui attacked with their lives on the line.

"Pathetic!"

Luan Shijian faced the enemies again.

Back when the three of them combined forces to attack Luan Shijian, they were already suppressed. But now, with only two people left, they couldn't contend with Luan Shijian for

long.

Soon, both of them were seriously injured.

'Is the Yuelan Sect finished today?'

Qiu Renshan knelt on the ground and covered his wound with his hand. The invading dao realm power in his body was unstoppable.

Duan Qinghui, who was next to him, was in a daze, ready to faint anytime. Qiu Renshan knew very well that the most dangerous moment of the Yuelan Sect had arrived.

"Weak…"

Luan Shijian no longer had any patience. He walked forward, ready to kill Qiu Renshan first.

Qiu Renshan's will to fight just now was very strong, which angered Luan Shijian to a certain extent.

However, just when Luan Shijian was about to attack, a ball of gray fog suddenly appeared out of thin air, covering an area of hundreds of meters.

'What's going on?!'

Luan Shijian suddenly felt a sense of danger.

He subconsciously wanted to escape. However, in the gray fog, a light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, then Luan Shijian felt his chest go cold.

He looked down and saw that his chest was pierced by a copper knife.

Report chapter

Chapter 226 Crisis Averted

Luan Shijian felt the violent power of the dao realm bursting out from the copper knife, nibbling away at his vitality.

An unfamiliar young face was staring at him with a pair of cold eyes. "Who are you…?"

Luan Shijian asked with difficulty.

He wanted to fight back, but the violent power of the dao realm and the tyrannical aura emitted by the copper knife had already made his body stiffen, and his life aura was weakening away. Generally speaking, even if a martial artist's heart was pierced through, they would not die immediately, but if their body was injected with the power of the dao realm, it would be difficult to persist. "You came here to find me, right?"

Xu Ning tilted his head.

After returning to the land in the Abyss North, Xu Ning went to the Moon Gazing Sect first.

And as soon as Xu Ning arrived at the Moon Gazing Sect, he encountered the fifteen Jade Night Sect disciples.

Just like the previous batch of disciples, they were easily suppressed by Xu Ning and were captured alive.

The fact that Xu Ning had advanced to the dao realm shocked Yuan Yuan, Si Ying, and the others.

Even Gray and Xu Hujun didn't expect Xu Ning to advance so quickly.

Afterwards, Xu Ning learned from the captured disciples that Elder Luan Shijian of the Jade Night Sect had gone to the Yuelan Sect, preparing to destroy the Yuelan Sect, so he rushed over to the Yuelan Sect with Wan Ye.

As soon as he approached the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning saw Du Yuan and Duan Qinghui unconscious, with Qiu Renshan ready to be killed at any time.

At the critical moment, Xu Ning activated the copper knife and the Wind Smoke Gourd, seriously injuring Luan Shijian in an instant.

Although Luan Shijian was also at the peak of the body smelting realm, his foundation was still weak compared to Xu Ning's six attribute seeds.

Moreover, the most important reason for this successful kill was the power of the Wind Smoke Gourd.

Xu Ning activated the Wind Smoke Gourd this time, releasing the gray fog, but he did not activate the poison. But even so, when the gray fog and wind smoke from the Wind Smoke Gourd were released, it could isolate the perception of a body smelting realm martial artist, while allowing Xu Ning to sense everything inside the gray fog.

Thus, Xu Ning easily succeeded in his attack in this way.

"You are… that Yuelan Sect disciple…"

Luan Shijian finally knew Xu Ning's identity at the end of his life.

After sensing the danger, he planned to activate his life-saving treasure and teleport away.

But after being enveloped by the gray fog and wind smoke, the spatial transfer device lost its effectiveness.

"I only wanted to negotiate with the Jade Night Sect, but you want to destroy the Yuelan Sect. Since this is the case, we can only fight to the death."

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the copper knife again. And the violent power spilled out, taking away Luan Shijian's last trace of life. Xu Ning had asked Wan Ye about the secrets of the copper knife and the copper fan.

This pair of copper knife and fan were a type of special dao weapon. These two special dao weapons were refined with the blood essence of a high level dao realm demon beast, the Blizzard Cyan Wolf.

That Blizzard Cyan Wolf was the source of Cyan's bloodline.

These two dao weapons could be used by human martial arts masters, but Cyan could also use them by activating his bloodline power.

These two special dao weapons were stolen by Gu Juan and another person when Wan Ye's injuries relapsed. And after being lost for a while, they finally fell into Xu Ning's hands.

After understanding all of this, Xu Ning returned the Cyan Wolf Fan to Cyan, leaving only the Cyan Wolf Knife for himself.

After advancing to the dao realm, Xu Ning could easily use this Cyan Wolf Knife. He could perfectly control the tyrannical power of the cyan wolf's will, while not suffering the backlash from before. "This gray fog came so suddenly, what is going on?'

Qiu Renshan was also enveloped in this gray fog, which completely isolated his perception. He was already in a desperate situation, but suddenly this gray fog suddenly came and changed everything.

'This gray fog is extremely terrifying!

Qiu Renshan could sense a terrifying power in the gray fog. If it moved, it could easily kill him.

Just when Qiu Renshan was about to escape from the gray fog, he noticed that the gray fog around him suddenly began to flow.

Swoosh!

The gray fog was absorbed into a pure white gourd in two to three seconds.

After seeing the owner of the pure white gourd, Qiu Renshan felt his vision blur. He thought he didn't see it clearly. "Xu Ning?!"

After confirming repeatedly, Qiu Renshan was certain.

Xu Ning's temperament had changed greatly.

Luan Shijian's corpse was lying next to him. "Elder Qiu!"

Xu Ning quickly went to Qiu Renshan's side and directed his dao realm power into Qiu Renshan's body to stabilize his injuries.

Xu Ning currently did not have any pills that could heal the injuries of a dao realm master.

He could sense that Qiu Renshan was seriously injured.

Qiu Renshan had forcibly broken through to the dao realm, so his foundation was already unstable. Moreover, he was also violently attacked by Luan Shijian, which seriously injured his body.

"Don't worry about me, go and see Elder Du Yuan and Elder Duan Qinghui first."

Qiu Renshan said to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning went to check on Du Yuan and Duan Qinghui.

'Elder Du Yuan's injuries are very serious…'

Xu Ning discovered that Du Yuan was on the verge of death. He could die at any time.

He quickly directed a wisp of dao realm power into his body to disperse Luan Shijian's dao realm power.

But even so, Du Yuan still didn't wake up, but fortunately, he was still alive for the time being.

Xu Ning went to stabilize Duan Qinghui's injuries.

Although Duan Qinghui strictly had a feud with Mi Xingye in the past, Xu Ning did not feel any estrangement from him as he had stood up for Yuelan Sect in the face of death.

Duan Qinghui slowly regained consciousness.

"Elders, there seems to be some trouble in the sect, I will go and solve it first."

Xu Ning disappeared and entered the sect.

There were still five Jade Night Sect disciples in the Yuelan Sect who were causing chaos.

"Xu Ning actually advanced to the dao realm…"

Duan Qinghui coughed lightly, unable to calm down for a long time.

The Sect Master and elders all knew that Xu Ning had gone to find an opportunity to advance to the dao realm.

It was just that they didn't expect Xu Ning to really find it and return at such an important time. Moreover, Xu Ning's current strength had far exceeded that of an ordinary body smelting realm martial artist.

"That's right, he is the number one genius since the founding of the Yuelan Sect…"

Qiu Renshan said with a look of relief in his eyes.

"No, he might be the number one genius in the history of the seventeen states of the Abyss North."

An old man suddenly appeared beside the two.

Because Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui were both seriously injured, they did not notice the old man at all.

Seeing the old man, the faces of the two stiffened again. They thought the visitor was Luan Shijian's helper.

"Don't panic."

The old man saw the alertness of the two and explained, "I know Xu Ning, and my name is Wan Ye."

"Old Man Wan Ye!?"

After hearing Wan Ye's introduction, Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui's hearts trembled.

They all knew very well that Old Man Wan Ye was one of the reasons why the Jade Night Sect came to the seventeen states of the Abyss North.

And he just appeared in front of them like this.

"These can heal your injuries."

Three pills appeared in Wan Ye's palm. Two of them fell into the hands of Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui, while the other one was stuffed into the mouth of the unconscious Du Yuan.

Xu Ning did not have a pill to heal the injuries of a dao realm master, but Wan Ye did.

Wan Ye and Xu Ning actually set off from the Moon Gazing Sect at the same time and rushed back to the Yuelan Sect.

But Xu Ning was eager to protect his sect, so he traveled extremely fast. Wan Ye actually couldn't catch up to his speed, so he had just arrived.

Looking at Luan Shijian's body on the ground, Wan Ye already knew what had happened.

"Cough, cough…"

After getting fed the medicinal pill, Du Yuan began to react.

Seeing Du Yuan's reaction, Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui no longer had any worries. They immediately swallowed the pill.

As soon as the pills entered their stomachs, they felt their injuries were healing faster.

"Thank you, Senior Wan Ye."

Qiu Renshan and Duan Qinghui stood up and thanked Wan Ye.

They all guessed that the dao realm opportunity Xu Ning had mentioned should be related to Old Man Wan Ye.

The five Jade Night Sect disciples in the Yuelan Sect were easily subdued by Xu Ning.

After learning that Xu Ning had advanced to the dao realm and resolved the crisis of the sect, Mi Xingye felt that everything was a blur. Everything felt unreal. Coincidentally, Wan Ye and the three elders had also returned to the sect at this moment.

"Master, this is Senior Wan Ye. He helped me advance to the dao realm."

Xu Ning introduced.

"Old Man Wan Ye?"

Mi Xingye was shocked, but he still bowed.

"This is my master, Mi Xingye, the Sect Master of the Yuelan Sect."

Xu Ning introduced again.

After a short exchange, Mi Xingye said, "I will take the three elders to rest. Xu Ning, you will accompany Senior Wan Ye first."

"Yes."

Xu Ning responded.

"Senior Wan Ye, do you want to walk around the Yuelan Sect?"

Xu Ning said as the four left.

"Forget it, you should recover your strength first."

Wan Ye stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Xu Ning heard him and nodded.

He did sense that his body was in a deficient state. This feeling was similar to when he practiced martial arts or fought against enemies in the mortal realm after exhausting all his energy.

"Now do you know why a dao realm master would go to State Wansheng after advancing?"

Wan Ye said.

"I do."

Xu Ning smiled helplessly.

Replenishing the dao realm power consumed required one to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

However, the spiritual energy on the land of the Abyss North was too thin.

When he was in the mortal realm, Xu Ning could recover to his peak state in a short period of time.

But now, before he could even release his full potential, he felt that the recovery process was very slow. "It's fine for a body smelting realm martial artist, but once you advance to the astral qi realm, I don't know how long you will have to rest after a battle. It may even cause your strength to decline."

As he said that, Wan Ye took out two more pills that could help in the recovery of dao realm power.

Xu Ning took and swallowed them, accelerating the recovery of his dao realm power.

"Also, this storage ring was obtained from that elder of the Jade Night Sect."

Wan Ye handed the storage ring to Xu Ning.

Chapter 227 Taking the Initiative

"His storage ring…"

Xu Ning took it from Wan Ye's hand.

Because Xu Ning was in a hurry to solve the troubles in the sect, he didn't have the time to take the storage ring from Luan Shijian.

Xu Ning erased the mark in the storage ring and checked it. He found that there were many recovery pills inside. The refinement technique of these pills was not difficult. Even if he had not practiced a dao realm alchemy technique, Xu Ning could still barely refine them. However, it was difficult to find all the materials needed to refine these pills in the seventeen states of the Abyss North.

'These recovery pills should be specially brought to deal with the lack of spiritual energy in the seventeen states of the Abyss North.'

Xu Ning guessed.

In addition to a large number of recovery pills, the knuckle dao weapon that Luan Shijian used previously was also in the storage ring. "So, what are your next plans?"

Wan Ye asked Xu Ning

"I plan to rest and adjust my body to the best possible state before taking the initiative to find the people from the Jade Night Sect and completely get rid of this trouble."

Xu Ning's eyes flashed.

Since the people of the Jade Night Sect wanted to destroy the Yuelan Sect, he must make them pay a heavy price.

"Are you confident?"

Wan Ye raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Xu Ning nodded. "The Wind Smoke Gourd given to me by Senior Jin Meng is extremely powerful. Even if it is one against many, I can separate them one by one and slowly deal with them. If the poisonous effect is activated, I will even have a chance to fight against a second stage astral qi realm martial artist."

"Is that so?"

Wan Ye sighed.

Thinking back to when he was in the body smelting realm, he was overjoyed when he first broke through to the dao realm, whilst also being deathly afraid of facing other body smelting realm masters.

But Xu Ning, on the other hand, who had just broken through, had already begun to plan how he would defeat an astral qi realm master.

"Now that Senior have taken the initiative to appear, your whereabouts may soon be heard by the people of the Jade Night Sect, so we have to finish them off."

Xu Ning took the initiative to confess. "Moreover, the Demon Beast Scroll is on Gray, so the people of the Jade Night Sect are a threat that must be dealt with."

"Gray, you mean the void beast? The Demon Beast Scroll is on it?"

Wan Ye frowned.

"Yes."

Xu Ning responded.

Wan Ye shook his head helplessly.

The person and the item that the Jade Night Sect wanted were all with Xu Ning.

Moreover, the conflict between the two sides was already irreconcilable, and the final result of this conflict was a decisive battle.

"Do you still need any recovery pills?"

Wan Ye asked, planning to prepare for Xu Ning's upcoming battle.

"No need, this storage ring has a lot of basic medicinal pills that are effective for dao realm masters. There are enough for me to use."

Xu Ning responded.

"In this case, you should find a place and slowly recuperate."

Wan Ye said.

Afterwards, Mi Xingye helped the three elders.

After a few hours, Yuan Cheng returned.

With his return, he brought a dao realm master from the Source Sect in State Wansheng.

The name of the dao realm master was Teng Yunkong, and he was one of the two dao realm masters who had returned to the Source Sect in the Abyss North. He was a peak body smelting realm master.

After receiving the request for help from Yuan Cheng, Teng Yunkong quickly rushed over, even using a one-time use special tool to increase his speed. Before arriving, Yuan Cheng was anxious.

He only hoped that the three previous generation elders of the Yuelan Sect could hold on for half a day after forcibly breaking through to the dao realm.

However, after bringing Teng Yunkong here, they discovered that the Yuelan Sect was not in danger at all.

After entering the sect, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed. Yuan Cheng grabbed a disciple and asked. He then learned that Xu Ning had advanced to the dao realm and killed the invading dao realm master after returning to the sect.

Hearing this, Yuan Cheng was dumbfounded.

Even Teng Yunkong from the Source Sect of State Wansheng also felt that this was unbelievable.

A young man who had just advanced to the dao realm had killed a long-standing dao realm master. This was quite ridiculous.

When Teng Yunkong was in State Wansheng, he had interacted with the Jade Night Sect.

So he knew very well that the elders of the Jade Night Sect were all quite strong among body smelting realm masters. In order to confirm this fact, Yuan Cheng brought Teng Yunkong to see Mi Xingye.

After receiving Mi Xingye's confirmation and learning that Xu Ning had the foundation of six attribute seeds, Teng Yunkong immediately wanted to befriend Xu Ning and quickly asked to see Xu Ning.

With no choice, Mi Xingye could ask his disciple to call Xu Ning over.

"Disciple-Nephew Xu Ning!"

The moment Teng Yunkong saw Xu Ning, he felt his extraordinary and deep foundation.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and sensed it personally, he wouldn't have believed that Xu Ning had just advanced to the dao realm.

"Senior Teng."

After Mi Xingye's introduction, Xu Ning also learned of Teng Yunkong's identity.

After several hours of taking pills, Xu Ning had recovered about 90% of his energy.

"Disciple-Nephew Xu Ning is indeed talented."

Teng Yunkong's words were sincere.

He knew very well that he was not Xu Ning's opponent at all.

"Senior Wu is too kind."

Xu Ning said humbly.

"Now that Disciple-Nephew Xu Ning has killed an elder of the Jade Night Sect, this will definitely anger their sect master, Lu Zhanxing."

Teng Yunkong reminded.

"It's okay, even if he doesn't come, I will find him."

After hearing that, Xu Ning quickly expressed his intention to take the initiative to find trouble with the Jade Night Sect.

When Teng Yunkong, Mi Xingye, Yuan Cheng, and the others heard this, they all looked at each other in disbelief.

Mi Xingye was suddenly worried. He dissuaded Xu Ning. "He is still an astral qi realm master. Although your foundation is deep, you are still a realm lower than him."

Although he didn't know the true combat power of the astral qi realm, Lu Zhanxing, the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect, was a realm higher than Xu Ning. It would definitely be dangerous to deal with him.

"Master, don't worry, my advancement of six attribute seeds has a solid foundation that ordinary dao realm masters can't compare to. Moreover, I have other trump cards in my hands. Even if I can't defeat Lu Zhanxing, I can definitely preserve my life." Xu Ning explained his advantages to Mi Xingye to let him have a peace of mind.

After hearing this, Mi Xingye chose not to say anything else. He just said with concern, "In that case, please be extra careful."

Xu Ning's growth was already beyond his control.

Teng Yunkong no longer knew what to say.

All he could think about was how to build a good relationship with Xu Ning.

Teng Yunkong knew very well that with Xu Ning's aptitude and strength, even if he went to State Wansheng, he would definitely grow into a big shot.

The Source Sect in State Wansheng was also an unofficial sect at the Endless Sea Abyss. The environment they lived in was extremely cruel.

If Xu Ning could mature in State Wansheng in the future, they would definitely benefit from it.

After a short conversation, Teng Yunkong took the initiative to ask Xu Ning for a private conversation.

When Mi Xingye saw this, he took away the people around and found an excuse to leave. "Disciple-Nephew Xu Ning, although this is the first time we have met, we have a deep relationship."

Teng Yunkong began to close the distance between the two of them. "You were born in State Feiyun, so you are basically friends with the Source Sect. When you go to State Wansheng, we can take care of each other. I can even say that if you are willing, you can join the Source Sect in State Wansheng."

Teng Yunkong already knew that Xu Ning's combat power might be comparable to an astral qi realm master.

In State Wansheng's Source Sect, the strongest person there was only so-so. But if Xu Ning could join the Source Sect in State Wansheng, even as a guest elder, he would be a huge help to the sect. "I'm afraid that won't do."

Xu Ning refused.

When Teng Yunkong heard this, he thought that Xu Ning was concerned about changing his sect identity.

He was about to explain to Xu Ning that after entering State Wansheng, it was normal to change sects. However, Xu Ning's next words immediately cut off his thoughts.

"I have already accepted Senior Wan Ye's sect token. When I go to State Wansheng, I will be a member of the Swallow Heron Sect."

"This…"

Teng Yunkong was stunned.

"I broke through to the dao realm this time because of Senior Wan Ye."

Xu Ning explained.

'So the sect token that the Jade Night Sect has been searching for has already fallen into Xu Ning's hands…!

When Teng Yunkong heard this, he also knew that it was impossible for Xu Ning to be pulled into his sect.

"The Swallow Heron Sect…"

Teng Yunkong pondered for a moment. "In this case, I naturally can't force it." "But Xu Ning…"

Teng Yunkong said, "It is not easy to rebuild a sect in State Wansheng. Especially since the Swallow Heron Sect has been disbanded for a hundred years and with the hearts of people dispersed. For you, this will be a huge challenge."

"Thank you Senior Teng for the reminder, I am ready."

Xu Ning responded.

"In this case, when you arrive in State Wansheng and wish to rebuild your sect, you can come to us for help at any time."

Teng Yunkong also showed some kindness.

Xu Ning thanked him again.

"By the way, when are you going to solve the matter of the Jade Night Sect?".

Teng Yunkong asked.

"Tomorrow."

Xu Ning guessed that he would be in his best condition tomorrow morning.

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

Teng Yunkong said, "In one day, I will call my peer in the body smelting realm. After that, we can go face the Jade Night Sect together."

"The Jade Night Sect is a problem in the seventeen states of the Abyss North. Since we are born here, we are naturally responsible for dealing with them."

Xu Ning weighed his options before finally nodding. "Okay."

Together with Wan Ye, they could gather four dao realm masters.

Moreover, they had all broken through naturally. Compared to those who did otherwise, their foundation was stronger, and their strength was stronger.

After resting for another day, another dao realm master from the Source Sect called Gu Man came.

Gu Man was a female body smelting realm master. Because the appearance of a dao realm master was permanent, Xu Ning couldn't infer her true age. After the four of them gathered together, they left for State Chungu.

They had learned from the disciples of the Jade Night Sect that the headquarters of the Jade Night Sect in the seventeen states of the Abyss North was in a county city in State Chungu. In just three days, they crossed the entire seventeen states of the Abyss North and arrived at State Chungu from State Jifeng.

"The Jade Night Sect…"

Xu Ning and the others soon found the specific location of their headquarters.

Report chapter

Chapter 228 Battle Across Realms

Lu Zhanxing, the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect, was a little uneasy.

Luan Shijian had been dispatched for a few days. According to Lu Zhanxing's expectations, he should have returned two days ago.

Even after facing some difficulties, he shouldn't have taken this long.

'Luan Shijian is already at the peak of the body smelting realm. Even if someone from the Yuelan Sect forcibly breaks through to the body smelting realm, they are definitely not his opponent.'

Lu Zhanxing thought to himself. 'But, why hasn't he brought back any news yet?'

Lu Zhanxing paced back and forth in the room.

He had been in State Jifeng for some time, but he still had no clues about the Demon Beast Scroll and Old Man Wan Ye.

'Could it be…!

Suddenly, Lu Zhanxing stopped.

He thought of a possibility. 'Could it be that the people from the Source Sect have returned from State Wansheng?'

The more Lu Zhanxing thought about it, the more he felt that this was likely.

"That should be the case… The Yuelan Sect and the Source Sect of State Feiyun have already joined forces, so it is extremely likely that the Source Sect of State Wansheng will help them…'

Lu Zhanxing knew very well that if this was the case, Luan Shijian might return in failure.

Lu Zhanxing felt more at ease after thinking of this.

In his opinion, the Source Sect's dao realm masters from State Wansheng might be quite strong, but they definitely couldn't kill Luan Shijian.

'Their sect master in the astral qi realm will definitely not come…'

Lu Zhanxing had a pondering look in his eyes. 'In State Wansheng, they are still facing a lot of trouble. Sect Master Xin Andao will definitely not be able to make himself free. At most, he will send two to three body smelting realm masters…'

'Source Sect…' A hint of coldness appeared in Lu Zhanxing's eyes. 'After obtaining the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, I will definitely make you submit when I return to State Wansheng.'

Just when Lu Zhanxing was thinking about the future, he suddenly felt the auras of four dao realm masters approaching.

'Four dao realm masters?'

Lu Zhanxing first looked puzzled.

The spiritual energy in the seventeen states of the Abyss North was thin, so it was difficult to find a native dao realm master, let alone four. 'Let's go and take a look.'

Although Lu Zhanxing was cautious, he did not panic.

He was an astral qi realm master, so he was not afraid at all when facing four body smelting realm masters.

Lu Zhanxing walked out of the room.

The place they were currently staying at was the mansion of a county city family. They had taken over it by force and made it the temporary base camp of the Jade Night Sect. The disciples of the Jade Night Sect were very satisfied with their current living environment.

They were all considered top-level experts here, so they were not under any pressure to survive. Ordinary martial artists and masters could only look up to them.

Although Lu Zhanxing felt that there was something wrong with the change in attitude of the disciples, he did not reprimand them. He planned to curb their lax attitude after returning to State Wansheng.

Outside the mansion.

Xu Ning, Wan Ye, Teng Yunkong, and Gu Man had already arrived outside the temporary residence of the Jade Night Sect. "This is the main camp of the Jade Night Sect all right."

Wan Ye said.

They could sense that in this large mansion, there were several dao realm masters and more than 20 high level void realm martial artists.

"The Jade Night Sect must have sent more than half of their disciples to go on their mission, leaving only a small portion of their disciples here. They are probably on standby at all times."

Teng Yunkong said. "When we were in State Wansheng, we had some feud with the Jade Night Sect. If we can get rid of Lu Zhanxing today, we can eliminate a lot of trouble in the future."

Gu Man was the one who spoke.

As a member of State Wansheng's Source Sect, they were also a little worried that if Lu Zhanxing really obtained the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, he would be ruthless to his former competitors.

This time, Gu Man and Teng Yunkong returned to the land in the Abyss North not only to protect the Source Sect in State Feiyun, but to also try their best to disturb the people of the Jade Night Sect from obtaining the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token.

Xu Ning didn't say anything. He already could sense the auras of the several dao realm masters approaching.

He noticed them, but they also noticed him.

"Xu Ning, are you ready to fight?" Wan Ye glanced at Xu Ning. Xu Ning was the strongest of the four, so this operation was led by Xu Ning. "Ready."

Xu Ning gave an affirmative answer. When he just advanced to the dao realm and returned to the land in the Abyss North from the golden-eyed demon ape's island, Xu Ning initially did not plan to fight the Jade Night Sect to the death.

In the beginning, he just wanted to show some strength and make the Jade Night Sect retreat. However, Lu Zhanxing's attempt to destroy the Yuelan Sect completely crossed Xu Ning's bottom line.

Now that he had killed Luan Shijian, both sides were in an irreconcilable situation.

"When we fight later, I will deal with Lu Zhanxing. The three of you shall deal with the other four body smelting realm masters."

Xu Ning said to the three of them.

"Okay."

The three of them nodded.

"Then let's strike first."

Xu Ning was full of fighting spirit. Whoosh!

Xu Ning activated the Wind Smoke Gourd, releasing the gray fog and wind smoke from it, enveloping most of the mansion.

Lu Zhanxing and the other four elders that hurried over were instantly enveloped.

"Not good! They are enemies!"

Lu Zhanxing and the others wanted to investigate the intruders, but once the gray fog was released, they realized that their enemies had come.

"Get out of this gray fog!"

Lu Zhanxing quickly said to the four elders next to him.

After being surrounded by the gray fog, Lu Zhanxing felt a strong sense of danger.

Whoosh!

As soon as Lu Zhanxing finished speaking, a blade shadow came towards him.

He reacted instantly and dodged the attack.

'As expected of a second stage dao realm, his reaction speed is indeed fast!'

Xu Ning was the one who attacked.

If his target was a body smelting realm master, even if he couldn't kill him in one blow, he would be seriously injured with that attack. But against an astral qi realm master, he was unharmed. 'Where did this dao realm master come from?'

Lu Zhanxing was full of questions, but soon he felt two familiar auras.

'It's Gu Man and Teng Yunkong from the Source Sect! There are people from the Source Sect among these four people!'

Lu Zhanxing also realized.

He couldn't manage to guess Xu Ning and Wan Ye's identities.

Otherwise, if he knew that Old Man Wan Ye was in front of him, he would definitely attack Wan Ye first.

"Lure the enemies away, don't let the disciples of the sect get hurt!"

Lu Zhanxing secretly transmitted it to three elders.

Afterwards, he himself rushed out of the county city and did not fight back immediately.

There were still many high level void realm disciples in the mansion. If they were affected, it would seriously damage the foundation of the Jade Night Sect.

'Should I go outside the city as well?'

Xu Ning also noticed Lu Zhanxing's intentions and followed behind him closely.

Xu Ning also hoped to fight outside the city. He had planned to lure Lu Zhanxing outside the city if he couldn't end the fight quickly

Otherwise, their fight would definitely affect some innocent people in the city. In order to prevent the disciples of the Jade Night Sect from getting injured, Lu Zhanxing took the initiative to leave the city, which saved Xu Ning a lot of trouble.

Lu Zhanxing turned into a shadow and quickly left.

Xu Ning controlled the Wind Smoke Gourd and covered himself with the gray fog. His speed was not much slower.

"The speed of an astral qi realm master is indeed fast. The gray fog and wind smoke can no longer cover him.' Xu Ning could at most activate the gray fog spanning to a few hundred meters around him, but this would consume a lot of energy.

'This gray fog should be activated by a secret treasure…'

Lu Zhanxing was relieved after taking Xu Ning away from the disciples.

He was afraid that Xu Ning would abandon his goal of killing him and slaughter the disciples of the Jade Night Sect.

'A secret treasure…!

Lu Zhanxing's eyes showed a hint of greed.

A secret treasure was a rare treasure even in State Wansheng, but he had encountered one here.

'If I can obtain this treasure, then even if I don't obtain the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, this trip will be worth it…'

Lu Zhanxing's mind was active. He was already preparing to counterattack. "Who are you?! Why are you involved with the Source Sect? Are you a helper they invited from State Wansheng?"

After leaving the city, Lu Zhanxing suddenly turned around and held an ice crystal spear in his hand.

Xu Ning ignored him. After seeing Lu Zhanxing stand still, he walked forward with the gray fog.

Lu Zhanxing sneered. He raised the ice crystal spear in his hand and slashed down fiercely.

The tip of the spear slammed into the ground. A huge force immediately spread out and broke the ground.

A light blue translucent and domineering force slashed into the gray fog.

'This is… astral qi!'

Xu Ning also noticed the danger and quickly dodged.

Swoosh!

The domineering astral qi cut off the gray fog, revealing Xu Ning's position.

"Forget it, I don't care who you are. I just want to kill you and obtain your secret treasure!"

After Xu Ning showed up, Lu Zhanxing stepped on the tip of his toes and stabbed forward with his spear.

'Is this the pressure from an astral qi realm master?'

Xu Ning quickly activated the Wind Smoke Gourd and closed the gray fog. But Lu Zhanxing's movements were too fast. Before Xu Ning could hide in the gray fog again, Lu Zhanxing's spear had already reached Xu Ning

Xu Ning activated the power of the dao realm in his body and slashed the Cyan Wolf Knife, knocking the tip of Lu Zhanxing's spear away.

Immediately after, the gray fog and wind smoke closed up, and Xu Ning's figure disappeared again, with Lu Zhanxing also enveloped.

"Huh?!"

The moment Lu Zhanxing's spear collided with the Cyan Wolf Knife, he felt a violent aura.

The violent aura even shook his mind.

'There is something wrong with that dao weapon!'

Lu Zhanxing noticed the uniqueness of the Cyan Wolf Knife.

"This is unbelievable. This person is only a body smelting realm master and yet, he has a secret treasure and a dao weapon with special effects. If I defeat him, the rewards will be too great!

Lu Zhanxing was excited. "The difference between the dao realm is still very obvious…'

Xu Ning, who was hidden in the gray fog, observed Lu Zhanxing.

If it weren't for his strong foundation of six attribute seeds, he would have been injured in that exchange just now.

'Fortunately, I haven't revealed the trump card of the gray fog, so I still have a chance to defeat him!'

Until now, Xu Ning remained calm, looking for the best opportunity to strike.

Report chapter

Chapter 229 Frost Crystal, Kill Across Realms

'This gray fog is indeed strange…'

Lu Zhanxing was very alert. "Once I am in it, I can't sense the other party's existence, but he can grasp all of my movements." 'But… can't I just disperse it?'

Lu Zhanxing waved the ice crystal spear in his hand and astral qi shot out from his body.

The dense gray fog was instantly cut into pieces, forcing Xu Ning to reveal his true body. After being exposed, he could only hide in the gray fog again.

Occasionally, he would seize a few opportunities to attack Lu Zhanxing, but he was also prepared to prevent Xu Ning from successfully attacking him.

'This Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect is not only strong, but also has rich combat experience…'

Xu Ning discovered that even though Lu Zhanxing was wrapped in the gray fog, it was still difficult for him to find a flaw.

'However, although I can't succeed for the time being, he can't catch me either…'

Every time Lu Zhanxing dispersed the gray fog with his astral qi, Xu Ning would instantly disappear.

"This person is hiding in the gray fog and is very patient. He is obviously waiting for me to let down my guard and deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.'

Lu Zhanxing also figured out Xu Ning's thoughts.

Xu Ning felt that Lu Zhanxing was watertight. On the other side, Lu Zhanxing also felt that Xu Ning was not easy to deal with.

'In this case, I have to use other methods…' Lu Zhanxing thought.

"Ha!"

Lu Zhanxing suddenly jumped out of the gray

fog.

This time, Xu Ning did not immediately activate the gray fog. He could feel that Lu Zhanxing was about to show his cards.

Xu Ning was not afraid that Lu Zhanxing would escape. During the fight, Xu Ning had already noticed that Lu Zhanxing was very eager to obtain his Wind Smoke Gourd and the Cyan Wolf Knife. He obviously wanted to seize his treasures.

This kind of greedy and confident person would never give up this opportunity.

Lu Zhanxing flipped his hand and an irregular-shaped transparent ice crystal appeared in his hand.

The ice crystal emitted colorful light under the refraction of the sunlight.

'Although it is a waste to consume this frost ice crystal, if I can obtain his secret treasure and special dao weapon, then this loss is nothing!'

Kacha!

Lu Zhanxing took the initiative to crush the frost ice crystal.

The shattered frost ice crystal instantly turned into a light blue qi current, which then attached to his ice crystal dao weapon. "Frost!"

Lu Zhanxing stepped on the ground and cracks started to spread on the ground. His entire body flew into the air.

In an instant, dozens of ice crystal spears condensed and floated in front of Lu Zhanxing.

"Fall!"

As soon as Lu Zhanxing finished speaking, dozens of ice crystal spears instantly pierced into the gray fog.

Two of the ice spears brushed past Xu Ning.

'What a domineering aura!'

Xu Ning was shocked.

Astral qi flowed on the surface of the ice crystal spear, instantly shattering the gray fog.

Xu Ning couldn't escape.

Just when Xu Ning was about to close the gray fog, he suddenly noticed that the speed at which the gray fog flowed was extremely slow. 'These ice crystal spears have the power to freeze the gray fog!' Not only the gray fog, but Xu Ning also noticed that his body had begun to freeze, and his body had also begun to stiffen.

"Die!"

Lu Zhanxing roared and jumped down with the ice spear in his hand, stabbing towards Xu Ning's head.

Xu Ning immediately activated his dao realm power.

Because his previous attribute seeds were water and fire, Xu Ning's dao realm body was also infused with water and fire.

Therefore, after activating the water and fire dao realm power, the frost in his body was first melted, then dispersed. Xu Ning's body also recovered to its initial state.

Bang!

Lu Zhanxing's spear came down, and Xu Ning dodged it. In his place, a deep pit with a radius of ten meters appeared on the ground.

"The gray fog you controlled has been frozen and is flowing slowly. It is no longer a threat to me!"

Although this attack did not succeed, Lu Zhanxing was not in a hurry.

"Without the support of the secret treasure, how can you be my opponent?"

Lu Zhanxing looked straight at Xu Ning. "If you hand over the secret treasure and the special dao weapon, I will spare your life. Moreover, your strength is not bad. You can join the Jade Night Sect, and I won't pursue your actions today."

Lu Zhanxing's words were half true. He did admire Xu Ning's strength. Lu Zhanxing could sense that Xu Ning's bodily strength and dao realm power were extremely fierce. This showed that when he was in the true domain realm, he had condensed a lot of attribute seeds. If such a person was taken under his wing, it would be a huge help.

Of course, even if Xu Ning was taken in as a subordinate, Lu Zhanxing would definitely use methods to restrict his freedom.

"It's useless to talk too much. When you decided to destroy the Yuelan Sect, the feud between the two of us could no longer be resolved!"

Although the gray fog was frozen and it was flowing slowly, Xu Ning still calmly responded without showing any signs of fear.

"You are from the Yuelan Sect?"

Lu Zhanxing's eyes twitched. He had always thought that Gu Man and Teng Yunkong had found Xu Ning for help from State Wansheng.

Xu Ning smiled and did not respond.

He injected the power of the dao realm into the Cyan Wolf Blade.

Auoo!

With a heart-trembling howl, the apparition of the cyan wolf head floated out of the cyan wolf knife and connected to Xu Ning's body.

When he was in the true domain realm, this cyan wolf apparition would consume Xu Ning's blood qi, causing Xu Ning to suffer a huge backlash.

But after advancing to the dao realm, Xu Ning's body had transformed, so this consumption could now be completely controlled. "I didn't expect that there would be someone like you hidden in the sects of the seventeen states!"

Lu Zhanxing's words were full of praise, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lu Zhanxing had clearly realized that Luan Shijian, who had been sent to the Yuelan Sect to carry out the annihilation mission, would never return again. "Although I don't know why you are still in the seventeen states of the Abyss North after advancing to the dao realm, but if nothing goes wrong, you will never have the opportunity to go to State Wansheng again!"

Lu Zhanxing thought that Xu Ning had been in the dao realm for a long time.

"Because today is the day you will die!"

Lu Zhanxing rushed towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning did not retreat. With the help of the cyan wolf apparition, he faced Lu Zhanxing head-on.

Bang! Bang! Bang! As the two fought, waves of qi burst out, breaking trees and stones in a radius of hundreds of meters.

Although Lu Zhanxing had astral qi attached to the surface of the ice crystal spear, Xu Ning could still hold on with the support of the cyan wolf apparition. However, after a while, it was getting a little difficult.

'I have to obtain this dao weapon!'

The more they fought, the more Lu Zhanxing noticed the extraordinariness of Xu Ning's dao weapon.

The greed in his heart made Lu Zhanxing explode with greater strength.

For a moment, Xu Ning was at a disadvantage. "Can't take it anymore? Even if you beg for mercy now, it's too late!" Lu Zhanxing became more and more arrogant.

Whoosh!

Another spear came.

Seeing this, Xu Ning's pupils shrank. "It's time!"

The moment Xu Ning resisted with his knife, another gray fog enveloped the two.

"What?!"

Lu Zhanxing was shocked. "How can you still activate this gray fog?"

'No, it's not reactivated. The gray fog from before is still frozen. It's impossible to break out of the frozen state in such a short time. This gray fog that just appeared is another type of fog.'

Obviously, this was Xu Ning's last resort.

Lu Zhanxing was suddenly amazed by Xu Ning's forbearance. Even when facing a higher-level opponent, he could still retain his trump cards until the critical moment.

"I underestimated you!"

After realizing this, Lu Zhanxing praised loudly, "But what can you do?"

Just when Lu Zhanxing was about to take out another frost ice crystal, he suddenly felt the dao realm power in his body begin to lose control. Inside his body, he felt stinging pain from his muscles and bones, and his internal organs were tearing apart. 'What's happening?' This time, Lu Zhanxing panicked.

This sudden change caught him off guard.

'How did this happen?'

Lu Zhanxing suddenly realized. 'It's… it's the poisonous fog! This gray fog is poisonous!'

Only then did Lu Zhanxing realize that Xu Ning had more than one trump card.

He first deliberately showed that he was forced into a desperate situation, then threw out all his trump cards, catching him off guard and making him unable to resist.

"It's time to end this!"

Xu Ning suddenly appeared in front of Lu Zhanxing.

"Stop!"

Lu Zhanxing quickly shouted, "I am the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect, Lu Zhanxing. If you spare my life, I can give you all the resources of my sect!"

"I can also get everything you have after I kill

you!"

Xu Ning no longer held back his strength. The cyan wolf behind him almost materialized.

Roar!

in

The cyan wolf behind Xu Ning roared as he slashed down with his knife. Pfft!

V

Lu Zhanxing's head instantly rolled down.

Xu Ning's dao realm power and the tyrannical aura of the Cyan Wolf Blade destroyed Lu Zhanxing's vitality.

"It's over…"

With his six attribute seeds, the secret treasure Wind Smoke Gourd, and the special dao weapon Cyan Wolf Blade, Xu Ning could kill enemies above his realm.

In the dao realm, there was a huge difference between realms. It was extremely difficult to kill enemies above one's realm.

It was rare for Xu Ning to do this.

Especially since Lu Zhanxing was a strong warrior in the astral qi realm. Moreover, he had used a special item, making it more difficult to defeat him.

"Hu…"

The moment he killed Lu Zhanxing, Xu Ning put away the cyan wolf apparition and his face turned extremely pale.

Although he had killed Lu Zhanxing, he had consumed a lot of energy.

In an environment with thin spiritual energy, Xu Ning felt that his recovery speed was extremely slow, just like an ordinary person breathing in the highlands after running for a while.

Xu Ning quickly took out a handful of recovery pills and stuffed them into his mouth. He sat down cross-legged and began to rest. Soon, the discomfort he felt slowly disappeared.

Although he still hadn't recovered to 20% of his strength, he could now move flexibly.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out the Wind Smoke Gourd and put away the gray fog. After Lu Zhanxing was killed, the dozens of ice crystal spears had shattered and the gray fog's frozen state had also been lifted.

Report chapter

Chapter 230 Return in Victory

After putting away the Wind Smoke Gourd, Xu Ning put away Lu Zhanxing's storage ring and erased its manipulation mark.

Xu Ning checked.

'Lu Zhanxing has more resources than Luan Shijian…'

Xu Ning had only obtained some basic cultivation resources from Luan Shijian's storage ring

As for Lu Zhanxing's storage ring, in addition to a lot of medicinal pills, there were also some things that Xu Ning was unfamiliar with, such as the frost ice crystals he had used previously.

'However, although the storage ring has a lot of resources, it is still much lower than I expected.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

After all, he had brought almost the entire sect to the seventeen states of the Abyss North. Lu Zhanxing must have also brought all the resources of the Jade Night Sect.

'But this is also understandable…'

Xu Ning remembered that Wan Ye had said before that in State Wansheng, it was relatively difficult for unofficial sects, especially small sects, to obtain cultivation resources.

Moreover, the consumption of their daily cultivation was huge, and it was difficult to accumulate resources efficiently.

'Although the resources are average, it should be able to provide me with more than 300,000 energy units. Moreover, this storage ring is quite good. It has a lot of space. I won't have to squeeze everything inside like before.'

In fact, as long as Gray followed Xu Ning, his belongings could be stored in the Demon Beast Scroll, but that would be inconvenient.

Now that he had a storage ring with plenty of space, Xu Ning could carry more resources on his person in the future.

'With this, the troubles from the Jade Night Sect are basically solved.'

Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

After dealing with Lu Zhanxing, the remaining elders and disciples of the Jade Night Sect would be much easier to deal with.

Afterwards, Xu Ning cleaned up the battlefield and took the initiative to find Wan Ye and the others.

At this moment.

Outside the county city.

Wan Ye, Teng Yunkong, and Gu Man were fighting with the four elders of the Jade Night Sect.

"You are Old Man Wan Ye!"

A Jade Night Sect elder noticed this.

"So what?"

Although Wan Ye's realm had fallen and his old injuries still hadn't recovered, he was not at a disadvantage when fighting against his opponent.

"After our sect master takes care of that person, he will come back to capture you!"

The elders of the Jade Night Sect felt happy.

Old Man Wan Ye, who they had been searching for for a long time, took the initiative to come to them.

They didn't think that the body smelting realm martial artist led away by their sect master could survive under Lu Zhanxing's hands.

Although the person seemed to have a secret treasure, the difference in strength was not easily even out. Moreover, Lu Zhanxing was a peak level astral qi realm master, so the elders of the Jade Night Sect were confident in him. "Wan Ye, will Xu Ning be okay?"

After hearing the clamor of the elder from the Jade Night Sect, Teng Yunkong was a little uncertain for a moment. His voice turned into a whisper as he secretly asked Wan Ye.

"Of course."

Wan Ye clearly understood Xu Ning's true combat strength. "Even if Xu Ning can't kill him, he can still fight evenly without being killed."

"That's good."

Teng Yunkong relaxed a little.

He was a little worried that Xu Ning would be killed by the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect. If such a thing really happened, he would come and deal with them next after dealing with Xu Ning.

Although the Source Sect of State Wansheng had some friction with the Jade Night Sect, they were not mortal enemies.

If it weren't for the fact that the Source Sect in State Wansheng was facing trouble, and if it weren't for the fact that they were worried that the Jade Night Sect would return to State Wansheng to attack them again after obtaining the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, Teng Yunkong and Gu Man wouldn't have fought them directly.

Currently, they were still fighting.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a silver shadow pierced through the air where they were fighting.

Bang!

The silver shadow fell to the ground, creating a deep pit.

It was the spear dao weapon that Lu Zhanxing had previously held.

This sudden change made them stop fighting and pull away from each other. "It's Sect Master's dao weapon!"

The four elders of the Jade Night Sect suddenly laughed. "Sect Master has dealt with that person!"

Afterwards, they looked into the distance to find traces of Lu Zhanxing.

"This…"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man also realized this and their expressions changed drastically.

'Not good, Xu Ning is in trouble!'

Teng Yunkong panicked.

"Run!"

Gu Man said to Wan Ye and Teng Yunkong. "Don't worry!"

Wan Ye was still calm.

Just when Teng Yunkong and Gu Man were puzzled, they saw a figure suddenly appear in the air and land on the ground, holding the ice crystal spear tightly in his hand.

"How is this possible?!"

When the four elders of the Jade Night Sect realized Xu Ning's identity, their heads buzzed.

It was not the sect master they expected, but the martial artist in the body smelting realm. "It's Xu Ning!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man were stunned at first, then they relaxed.

Obviously, Xu Ning had won the fight between him and Lu Zhanxing.

They all knew that this ice crystal spear was Lu Zhanxing's dao weapon.

If Xu Ning could obtain it, it could only mean that Lu Zhanxing had not only lost, but also died.

"Go!"

One of the elders reacted quickly.

The other three elders quickly fled as though they had just woken up from a nightmare.

"Trying to leave?"

Xu Ning did not give them a chance.

Although he had consumed 80% of his energy, his strength was not affected. What was affected was just his endurance.

Whoosh!

Xu Ning wanted to end the battle quickly, so he activated the Wind Smoke Gourd and enveloped the four of them.

He directly used the poisonous miasma of the gray fog.

The four elders of the Jade Night Sect were caught off guard and were instantly seriously injured by the poisonous miasma.

Afterwards, the gray fog and smoke dispersed, leaving the four elders of the Jade Night Sect to be captured by Wan Ye, Teng Yunkong, and Gu Man.

"Spare me!"

One of them surrendered.

The other three looked at him with contempt, but they didn't dare to lash out.

"Xu Ning, what should we do with these four?"

Teng Yunkong asked.

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man looked at Xu Ning with respect and even slight fear. It was as though they were facing a senior.

Even their Sect Master Xin Andao couldn't kill Lu Zhanxing.

With Xu Ning's current strength, even if he was alone, he could completely support a small sect in State Wansheng. Xu Ning glanced at the four of them coldly. The four elders had definitely supported the Jade Night Sect's decision to destroy the Yuelan Sect.

"Senior Wan Ye, what do you think?"

Xu Ning didn't make the decision himself, instead he asked for Wan Ye's opinion.

"The Jade Night Sect wanted to destroy your entire sect, so it is not wrong for you to destroy them in return."

Wan Ye's words shocked the four elders.

At this moment, they regretted their decision to support Lu Zhanxing's decision to come to the seventeen states of the Abyss North.

They didn't expect to be defeated in such a small place.

"However…"

Wan Ye changed the topic. "It's a shame to kill them like this, instead why don't we cripple their realm and use some methods to control them."

"Then I shall listen to Senior Wan Ye."

Xu Ning had no objections.

"You want to cripple our cultivation?!"

After hearing Wan Ye's words, one of the elders of the Jade Night Sect started to curse at Xu Ning, Wan Ye, and the others.

When Wan Ye saw this, he did not hesitate to kill this person.

When the other three saw this, their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to say another word.

Xu Ning looked at the other three. At this point, he knew that everything was over.

He glanced at the horizon. The sun was blazing.

Xu Ning knew very well that the day of his trip to State Wansheng was getting closer and closer.

The reason why he was going to State Wansheng was firstly to fulfill his promise to Wan Ye and rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, and secondly, because a dao realm master was no longer suitable to stay on the land in the Abyss North. He had to go to places with richer spiritual energy and resources.

"Let's go and capture those Jade Night Sect disciples."

Wan Ye said.

In Wan Ye's opinion, if those Jade Night Sect disciples were left alone in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, it would be troublesome.

"Okay."

Xu Ning and the other two responded. Afterwards, the four swallowed recovery pills.

They had consumed a lot of energy in the battle just now. They didn't know how long it would take for them to completely recover with just the meager spiritual energy in the surroundings.

After a while, the four of them adjusted their conditions.

They then controlled all the disciples of the Jade Night Sect in the city.

The disciples of the Jade Night Sect did not expect this situation at all. Just now, they were still waiting in the mansion for the return of their sect master and elders.

Wan Ye suppressed the cultivation of all the disciples of the Jade Night Sect, then found a local sect to strictly guard these disciples. The sect commissioned by Wan Ye had become a puppet of the Jade Night Sect. So now that the Jade Night Sect was dealt with, they were extremely glad and quickly agreed to Wan Ye's request.

Afterwards, Xu Ning and the other three went straight back to State Jifeng.

State Jifeng.

Yuelan Sect.

In the sect's sealed room.

Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui were resting here.

Since they forcibly broke through and were seriously injured, if they wanted to recover to their peak state, it would take at least three to ten years.

"I wonder if Xu Ning has solved the problem of the Jade Night Sect…"

The one who spoke was Qiu Renshan. After sitting cross-legged for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said. Sitting next to Qiu Renshan were Duan Qinghui and Du Yuan.

Both of their injuries were heavier than Qiu Renshan's. If Xu Ning hadn't arrived in time, the two of them would have been killed by Luan Shijian.

"It should be fine…"

Du Yuan said, "After all, the dao realm masters from the Source Sect are accompanying him."

"But the Source Sect's dao realm masters are not as strong as Xu Ning…"

Qiu Renshan frowned.

The sealed room suddenly fell silent.

"Mi Xingye is better at taking in disciples than he is at being a sect master."

Duan Qinghui said. Decades ago, he was against Mi Xingye being the sect master, and instead he supported Gu Juan.

The relationship between Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui was very stiff in the past, but this crisis repaired their relationship.

"With this, I won't object to him being the sect master any longer."

Duan Qinghui sighed.

Du Yuan slapped his thigh and laughed. "You are only saying this now when Xingye has already been the sect master for decades, what a joke…" Duan Qinghui wanted to refute, but the door of the sealed room suddenly opened. He then saw Yuan Cheng walk in with an excited expression. "Elders, Xu Ning is back!"

Chapter 231 Shock from All Sides, Reserve Pills

"Xu Ning is back?"

The three of them stood up at the same time and took the initiative to ask, "Is he safe?"

"He has returned safely!"

Yuan Cheng was also full of smiles. "The Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect was killed by Xu Ning, and the elders were captured!"

"Great!"

The three elders were overjoyed, and the burden on their hearts were also lifted.

The fact that the Jade Night Sect wanted to destroy the Yuelan Sect was like a thorn in the hearts of every Yuelan Sect member.

As long as the Jade Night Sect was still around, the Yuelan Sect would always be in danger.

Now that Xu Ning took the initiative to resolve the matter of the Jade Night Sect, not only would the crisis of the Yuelan Sect be resolved, but the entire seventeen states of the Abyss North would also return to peace.

"Let's go see Xu Ning!"

The three elders were about to leave the sealed room.

"Elders, your injuries…"

Yuan Cheng had a concerned tone.

"It's fine!"

The three elders were in a good mood.

"Now that the seventeen states of the Abyss North are peaceful again, we have plenty of time to recuperate!"

Du Yuan said.

"That's right." Duan Qinghui nodded. "We don't plan to go to State Wansheng for the time being anyway."

Qiu Renshan agreed.

It was unrealistic for the three of them to go to State Wansheng. Everyone else had left because they couldn't bear the harsh environment for their cultivation. However, for them, their recovery was the only thing on their minds.

The three elders ignored Yuan Cheng's concern and left the sealed room to personally welcome Xu Ning back.

After Xu Ning returned to the Yuelan Sect, he was personally greeted by Sect Master Mi Xingye and others.

After Xu Ning explained the news, everyone in the Yuelan Sect was excited.

Not only was the crisis averted, but the Yuelan Sect also produced the number one powerhouse in the Abyss North.

Because of Xu Ning's existence, the Yuelan Sect could be said to be the number one faction in the Abyss North

Of course, everyone knew that Xu Ning would definitely not stay in the Abyss North for long.

However, like Shi Fengxu three hundred years ago, he would still be remembered by everyone in State Jifeng and even by the entire Abyss North.

Afterwards, the news of the destruction of the Jade Night Sect spread from the Yuelan Sect to the ears of all the sects in the Abyss North.

Moon Gazing Sect.

"Big news!" Si Ying was excited. "The Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect was killed by Xu Ning, and the elders were captured! The crisis of the Abyss North is solved!"

"Really!?"

Yuan Yuan was shocked.

"Really!"

Si Ying nodded. Afterwards, the entire Moon Gazing Sect cheered.

Outside the crowd, Gray and Little Gray raised their heads with proud expressions.

Xu Ning was their boss.

State Feiyun, Yunying City.

"Xu Ning solved the problem of the Jade Night Sect!"

Feng Xiu, the Sect Master of the Source Sect, said to Wu Lanqiong. "Really?"

Wu Lanqiong's muddy eyes flashed with a terrifying light. "The information is from Senior Teng Yunkong and Senior Gu Man!"

Feng Xiu laughed.

"Xu Ning… He is amazing!"

Wu Lanqiong leaned on her cane and praised, "Although I have high expectations of him, his advancement is really shocking! Xu Ning is truly the number one genius in the history of the Abyss North!"

"Unfortunately, due to an unexpected turn of events, Xu Ning didn't enter the Source Sect back then."

Feng Xiu looked deeply regretful.

"Let's not dwell on the past, doesn't Xu Ning have a niece?"

Wu Lanqiong raised her eyebrows. "That's right!" Feng Xiu suddenly realized. "I overlooked this matter because of the issue with the Jade Night Sect. Now that the Abyss North is stable, I have to send a disciple to contact her and get to know her better, then we can have her join the Source Sect!"

In a small sect in State Jifeng.

"Good job, Junior Brother!"

He Mingye was happy to hear this news.

After bidding farewell to everyone, he quickly rushed back to the Yuelan Sect with the burden of having a dao weapon Xu Ning gifted to him.

Similar scenes were still happening all over.

After Xu Ning met with the seniors of the sect, he took the initiative to enter the sealed room to recover his energy.

Over the next month, Xu Ning did not step out of the sealed room.

While Xu Ning was in the sealed room, the outside world was in an uproar. Almost all of the martial arts forces in the Abyss North were talking about Xu Ning's strength.

An endless stream of people came to visit Xu Ning outside State Jifeng, wanting to see Xu Ning's face.

However, Xu Ning was in seclusion, so they could only be received by Mi Xingye, the elders, He Mingye, and other core disciples.

The reputation of the Yuelan Sect spread.

Many genius descendants from other states came all the way to State Jifeng to become their disciples, including many descendants of big families.

Seeing this situation, the Yuelan Sect also relaxed the restrictions on recruiting disciples.

The current Yuelan Sect no longer needed a disciple to ensure the safety of the sect.

At the same time, the Yuelan Sect, the Source Sect, and some other top sects sent their powerhouses to search for traces of the other Jade Night Sect disciples scattered around the Abyss North.

These Jade Night Sect disciples were all sent out on missions previously. They had to find them all now, in case any trouble would sprout in the future.

After these Jade Night Sect disciples were caught, they were all sent to the Source Sect to be imprisoned for the time being.

With Teng Yunkong and Gu Man still in Yunying City, they could intimidate these disciples.

More than a month went by.

Xu Ning finally reached his peak state with the help of a large number of recovery pills. However, after completely recovering, Xu Ning did not immediately leave the sealed room. Instead, he engraved and practiced the miraculous dao realm alchemy technique left behind by the Red Sea Demon Lord.

The elders who were captured previously had all given their resources to Xu Ning. Coupled with Lu Zhanxing's reserves, Xu Ning absorbed a total of 300,000 units of energy.

Xu Ning was actually holding back when absorbing this amount of energy.

Xu Ning left a portion of the resources he had obtained from the people of the Jade Night Sect as a contingency. They were mainly higher-level functional pills and recovery pills. In addition to these pills, there were also some consumables that could be used in actual combat, such as those frost ice crystals.

Xu Ning now had a total of 450,000 units of energy after combining these 300,000 units of energy with the 150,000 units of energy he had obtained from the Demon Ape Wine previously.

Although it was a lot, he was still far from advancing to the astral qi realm.

This was because advancing to the second stage dao realm required 900,000 units of energy. However, this amount was enough to improve his dao realm alchemy technique.

After advancing to the dao realm, Xu Ning had broken through the Red Sea Demon Lord's inheritance and obtained the Red Sea Pill Sutra.

The Red Sea Pill Sutra was created by the Red Sea Demon Lord, and the refinement technique of the miraculous sect in it widened Xu Ning's horizons.

Xu Ning consumed 100,000 units of energy to advance the Red Sea Pill Sutra to the first level.

Although he had only advanced one level, it was enough. Inside the sealed room, Xu Ning took out a pill furnace and began to use the Red Sea Pill Sutra to refine pills.

The pills that Xu Ning refined this time were not for himself.

After all, he had held back in the energy absorbing session just now, so he still had enough pills to use.

Xu Ning mainly refined this batch of pills for his family and friends.

He would soon go to State Wansheng, and he didn't know when he would return.

During this period of time, Xu Ning had prepared all the pills that Tao Tao, Guo Ye, He Mingye, and the others needed. Especially Tao Tao's needs, from the mortal realm first stage to the void realm ninth stage, Xu Ning didn't care whether Tao Tao needed it or not, he just prepared it for her.

In addition to that, Xu Ning also refined a large number of pills for Little Gray.

When he would go to State Wansheng, Xu Ning would only bring Gray and Cyan, but not Little Gray. With Little Gray's strength and bloodline, it was difficult for it to survive in State Wansheng.

Therefore, he might as well leave behind some pills to help it break through to the high level of the void realm and let it live freely in the Abyss North.

And lastly, Xu Ning refined pills for Wan Ye as well.

Wan Ye was injured, and after Xu Ning advanced to the dao realm, Xu Ning checked his injuries and discovered that Wan Ye's life was about to end.

After learning of this, he found pills that could relieve Wan Ye's injuries in the medicinal encyclopedia left by the Red Sea Demon Lord.

Although these pills could not treat his injuries from the root, it could reduce Wan Ye's injuries a little.

The pills refined for Wan Ye were extremely difficult to refine, and resources required to create the pills were scarce. If he hadn't found the necessary raw materials in the storage rings of the Jade Night Sect and others, Xu Ning would have been in a difficult situation.

After preparing all the pills, Xu Ning walked out of the sealed room.

After leaving the sealed room, Xu Ning first met with the visitors, then he went to the back mountain of the sect to find Wan Ye.

After dealing with the matter of the Jade Night Sect, Wan Ye followed Xu Ning back to the Yuelan Sect.

"Senior Wan Ye."

When Xu Ning found Wan Ye, Wan Ye was still resting

Although Wan Ye had consumed less energy than Xu Ning in the previous battle, his recovery speed was far slower than Xu Ning's.

"It seems that you have completely recovered."

When Wan Ye saw that Xu Ning was in excellent condition, he sighed.

The fast recovery speed was one of the signs of a deep foundation.

The help of condensing six attribute seeds was reflected in many aspects.

"Yes."

Xu Ning nodded. Then, he took out the pills he had prepared for Wan Ye and handed them to him.

The pills Xu Ning had prepared for Wan Ye filled a total of twenty porcelain bottles, which required him to take at different periods of time.

These twenty porcelain bottles were placed in a wooden box.

"What is this?"

Wan Ye took the wooden box, opened it, and found several rows of porcelain bottles inside. Next, he opened the cork of one of the porcelain bottles and smelled it.

"Hmm?"

After smelling a wisp of herbal fragrance, Wan Ye felt the old injuries in his body easing up.

"These are pills that can relieve your injuries." Xu Ning said "Pills that can relieve my injuries?"

Wan Ye was puzzled. "You obtained these pills from Lu Zhanxing's storage ring?"

"No."

Xu Ning shook his head. "I refined them myself."

"You refined them yourself?"

Wan Ye obviously didn't expect this.

"When I was in the void realm, I had a fortuitous encounter, and I obtained a dao realm alchemy technique. After I broke through to the dao realm, I practiced it. Just recently, I reached the elementary realm and refined these pills for you."

Xu Ning explained.

"Is that so…"

Only then did Wan Ye realized that Xu Ning had such talent in alchemy.

At the same time, Wan Ye was gratified that Xu Ning had specially refined pills for him.

Report chapter

Chapter 232 Farewell, Wansheng

"Thank you very much."

As his understanding of Xu Ning continued to deepen, Wan Ye's approval of Xu Ning spread from his talent to his behavior.

In Wan Ye's opinion, with Xu Ning's character, it was not a problem to place the future of the Swallow Heron Sect in his hands. "When are you leaving for State Wansheng?"

Wan Ye put away the pills given by Xu Ning and asked.

He asked this not to secretly urge Xu Ning to leave, but Wan Ye had already noticed Xu Ning's desire to leave for State Wansheng.

"I'm going back to State Feiyun to take a look."

Xu Ning responded, "After a few days, I will go to State Wansheng. I have discussed this with Teng Yunkong and Gu Man from the Source Sect. We will leave together then."

"Mmm…"

Wan Ye nodded.

"Senior Wan Ye, do you have anything else to instruct?"

Xu Ning asked.

"There are indeed some instructions…"

Wan Ye said, "After you go to State Wansheng, don't be in a hurry to plan the rebuilding of the sect, you have to find someone named Leng Ran first."

"Leng Ran?"

Xu Ning remembered this name. "That's right." Wan Ye nodded. "The Swallow Heron Sect was forced to disband, and the previous sect master handed all the treasures of the sect to Leng Ran. But Leng Ran is not a member of the Swallow Heron Sect, she is an old friend of the previous sect master."

"Where is Leng Ran located at?"

Xu Ning asked for more details.

"She is living in seclusion in Fenghe Canton, State Guqing. She is an extremely high-level dao realm alchemist."

Wan Ye replied, "You should easily know where she lives by asking around."

"After seeing her, just state your identity and explain your intentions. She will tell you what to do next."

"Fenghe Canton, State Guqing…"

Xu Ning bore this place in mind.

Xu Ning now knew that in State Wansheng, under the rule of the Imperial Court, there were states, cantons, and counties.

State Guqing was an administrative region of the State Wansheng Dynasty.

"Remember, after you go to State Wansheng, don't get into conflict with the Imperial Court."

Wan Ye reminded, "State Wansheng is different from the seventeen states of the Abyss North. The power of the Imperial Court is beyond your imagination. It can even be said that the Imperial Court is the strongest sect in State Wansheng."

"Understood."

Xu Ning remembered this. "By the way, Senior Wan Ye."

Xu Ning asked, "How are they going to deal with the disciples of the Jade Night Sect?"

"The disciples of the Jade Night Sect scattered in the Abyss North were all captured." Wan Ye said, "The reason why it is so efficient is because the two dao realm masters of the Source Sect, Teng Yunkong and Gu Man, sacrificed their recovery time and took the initiative to do this."

"Many people in the top sects in the Abyss North want to get rid of these Jade Night Sect disciples. After all, the motives of these disciples were indeed unfriendly. Moreover, there are so many high level void realm martial artists. If they are not dealt with, there will definitely be chaos in the future."

"However, Teng Yunkong and Gu Man suggested taking them all to State Wansheng and recruiting them as outer disciples to expand the Source Sect."

After Xu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Turn them into Source Sect disciples? They can acknowledge a new identity like that?"

Xu Ning felt a little strange.

To a certain extent, they were enemies. Wan Ye smiled when he heard this and explained, "State Wansheng is different from the Abyss North. Disciples of unofficial sects in State Wansheng, especially small sects like the Jade Night Sect, have low loyalty towards their sect. They can only obtain the resources of the sect by continuously completing sect missions, so the relationship between the two are mutual."

Xu Ning understood that this seemed like a relationship between a boss and a waiter.

In any case, since the potential risks left behind by the Jade Night Sect had been resolved, it was a good thing

Afterwards, the two talked again, and Xu Ning bid farewell to Wan Ye. This would not be the last time the two met before Xu Ning left the Abyss North

When he returned from the Tao Village, he would come back again.

Time flew by.

Four months later.

On the Endless Sea, a dao weapon ship was sailing quickly between the waves.

Xu Ning stood at the bow of the ship and saw the outline of land in the distance.

"State Wansheng, we're almost there."

For a moment, Xu Ning felt rather emotional.

After Xu Ning returned to the Tao Village in State Feiyun, he spent a month with his family.

During this period, Feng Xiu from the Source Sect came to visit, saying that he wanted to introduce Tao Tao into the Source Sect and have her become his personal disciple. Xu Ning agreed after some consideration.

In Xu Ning's opinion, the Source Sect had a strong foundation.

Because Tao Tao was still young, Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian went to Yunying City together.

They lived with the Wei family and took care of Tao Tao.

At the same time, Xu Ning also gave the pills he had prepared for Tao Tao to Feng Xiu, trusting him to allow Tao Tao to take the pills according to her situation. As for Chu Yeyang, who was sent to Tao Tao's side, Xu Ning sent him to Wan Ye to be his servant. As for Guo Ye, with Xu Ning's deliberate help, Guo Ye established his own trading company in Yunying City which was supported by the Wei family. Because of his status as Xu Ning's brother, Guo Ye had many void realm martial artists under him despite being just a mortal realm warrior.

When he was bidding farewell with his family and friends, everyone was reluctant to part.

But Xu Ning's relatives and friends all knew that it was inevitable for him to leave the Abyss North and step onto a broader stage.

After bidding farewell to his family, Xu Ning left State Feiyun.

Xu Ning bid farewell to Mi Xingye, He Mingye, Si Ying, Xie Wenyue, and the others.

Before he left, Xu Ning left the pills he refined for Little Gray.

Little Gray knew that Xu Ning was not bringing it along for its own good, but it was still depressing Xu Ning told Little Gray to go to Yunying City and accompany Tao Tao as her mount. Little Gray agreed. In the end, Wan Ye personally sent Xu Ning and the others to the coastline of the Abyss North and to their ship.

If it weren't for the pills refined by Xu Ning that relieved Wan Ye's old injuries, he might not have lasted this long.

But even if his injuries were relieved, he could not help much even if he returned to State Wansheng to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, so he could only place all his hopes on Xu Ning.

Afterwards, Xu Ning, Gu Man, and Teng Yunkong went to State Wansheng with dozens of Jade Night Sect disciples.

After sailing on the dangerous Endless Sea for nearly three months, they were finally reaching State Wansheng. "We are less than half a day away from State Wansheng." Teng Yunkong walked on the deck and came to Xu Ning's side. "Look at those dao weapon fishing boats."

Teng Yunkong pointed at the shadow of boats in the distance.

"Dao weapon fishing boats?"

Xu Ning followed Teng Yunkong's gaze. On some ships, dao realm masters and even void realm martial artists used special artifacts and even dao weapons to capture some fierce demon beasts under the Endless Sea.

"Although the Endless Sea is dangerous, there are plenty of resources below."

Teng Yunkong said, "It is said that under the Endless Sea, there are many mystic realms left behind by top powerhouses. I don't know if it is true."

"As expected of State Wansheng, the Endless Sea, which seems to be full of danger elsewhere, is actually the fishery of the martial artists of State Wansheng.' Xu Ning was a little speechless.

The closer he was to the coast of State Wansheng, the more dao weapon ships Xu Ning could see.

"Not really…"

Teng Yunkong explained, "Those searching for resources at the Endless Sea are basically members sent by unofficial sects, or some lone masters. Their strength is considered strong in State Wansheng, but the resources here are richer and easier to obtain, which is why they became 'fishing' masters."

"In State Wansheng, most people are just ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts. They are the foundation of State Wansheng."

Teng Yunkong said, "It's just that it is easier for ordinary people to come into contact with martial arts here. And once they step into the path of martial arts, the upper limit of their advancement in the future will be higher as well."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning had a better understanding of State Wansheng.

Xu Ning had always thought that State Wansheng was full of martial artists.

It seemed that as a dao realm master, he was still considered an elite martial artist in State Wansheng

The ship was getting closer and closer to the shore.

Bang!

Finally, after six hours, the dao weapon ship hit the rocks on the shore.

"We're here!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man were both a little excited.

Although there were three dao realm masters on the ship, sailing in the Endless Sea was still risky.

It was rare for them to return safely without experiencing any major risks at sea. "Is this State Wansheng…"

Xu Ning felt the dense spiritual energy around him and felt refreshed.

When he was near State Wansheng, Xu Ning had already felt the change in the concentration of spiritual energy at sea.

Now that he was close to land, this feeling became more vivid and intense. 'If I were in this kind of environment, I would only need four hours to completely recover from a single battle.'

Xu Ning felt like a fish in a stream returning to the sea. "Senior Teng, Senior Gu, let's part ways here!" Xu Ning didn't forget what he should do when he stepped on the land of State Wansheng.

According to Wan Ye's instructions, he should first go to Fenghe Canton in State Guqing to find a dao realm alchemist named Leng Ran.

"Farewell!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Juan also cupped their fists and said to Xu Ning.

They had previously invited Xu Ning to visit the Source Sect in State Wansheng, but Xu Ning refused.

"When you have the opportunity in the future, come visit our sect!"

Teng Yunkong said.

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded.

Afterwards, the two sides parted ways.

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man rushed back to the Source Sect with the newly recruited high level void realm disciples.

These dozens of high level void realm disciples could greatly expand the strength of the sect.

This trip to State Wansheng had been quite a harvest for Teng Yunkong and Gu Man. As for Xu Ning, he took Gray, as well as Cyan and Xu Hujun who were hidden in the Demon Beast Scroll, and went to Fenghe Canton according to the map of State Wansheng that Wan Ye had given him.

Report chapter

Chapter 233 State Guqing, Leng Ran

State Guqing.

Fenghe Canton. After a long journey, Xu Ning finally arrived at Fenghe Canton with Gray.

'State Wansheng is too big!'

Xu Ning sighed.

On the way, Xu Ning discovered that in State Wansheng, the area of a canton might be larger than a state in the Abyss North, and the population was higher too.

"No wonder there are so many top masters in State Wansheng. With such a population base and such a high-quality cultivation environment, it would be abnormal if there are not many top masters."

Xu Ning had a rough understanding of the overall environment of State Wansheng.

Like the Abyss North, the population here also mostly gathered in cities.

The Imperial Court managed states, cantons, and counties by setting up officials.

In the city, everyone had to strictly abide by the laws of the Imperial Court, otherwise even a dao realm master would be punished.

Even when a dao realm master injured an ordinary person, they had to pay compensation.

Therefore, compared to the Abyss North, the living environment of ordinary people in State Wansheng was relatively stable.

But outside cities, the Imperial Court rarely intervened in the disputes of the martial arts world.

Of course, if an unofficial sect attacked an official sect certified by the Imperial Court, or damaged the interests of the Imperial Court in other ways, they would be surrounded by the Imperial Court's troops.

"Gray, how do you feel after coming to State Wansheng?"

Xu Ning asked Gray, who was lying on his shoulder.

"The spiritual energy is strong, it feels good!"

Gray was a little excited.

Although the dependence of demon beasts on spiritual energy was not as high as that of humans, dense spiritual energy could still also stimulate their bloodline, which was beneficial to their strength.

"When I find Senior Leng Ran and obtain the Swallow Heron Sect's treasury, we will find a place to settle down. At that time, we will release Xu Hujun and Cyan. In this environment, their chances of breaking through to the dao realm are quite high." Xu Ning said.

Soon, the two arrived at a county city.

The size of this county city was about the size of dozens of Kangyun County.

"Let's enter the city and find out where Senior Leng Ran is."

Wan Ye had only told Xu Ning that after coming to Fenghe Canton, he could ask for Leng Ran's whereabouts.

Wan Ye only knew the approximate location of Leng Ran. He didn't know where Leng Ran lived in seclusion exactly.

Strictly speaking, Wan Ye and Leng Ran were not close.

However, before the former sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect died, he told Wan Ye that if there was a chance to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, he should find Leng Ran.

Soon, Xu Ning successfully entered the county city.

'In this county city, the weakest patrolling soldiers are in the high level of the mortal realm, and the leading soldiers and officers are all in the void realm.'

Xu Ning learned that in State Wansheng, ordinary county magistrates, county governors, and high-level officials in other counties were all in the mid levels or even high levels of the void realm. The weakest among the canton governors was a dao realm master, while the most powerful state overseers were in the mid levels or even high levels.

When a special situation occurred in the administrative field, these masters in charge had the power to control the entire situation.

A single administrative state taken out from the Imperial Court's system was the configuration of a top sect in State Wansheng.

"To the restaurant."

A restaurant was usually the most crowded and frequented place in the martial arts world.

He could easily obtain some information here.

Xu Ning chose the best restaurant in the county city. This kind of restaurant was usually reserved for powerful warriors or even martial artists. Here, they could eat demon beast meat and dishes cooked with spirit medicine and spirit herbs. Eating a meal here could improve one's cultivation.

The payment method for this kind of restaurant was mainly in medicinal pills. In State Wansheng, Pure Source Pills were still the basic currency of powerful martial artists.

Ordinary restaurants provided ordinary food and settled the bills with gold and silver.

"Esteemed guest please!"

Xu Ning walked into the restaurant and a fragrance assaulted his nostrils.

He glanced at the waiter and noticed that he was in the mortal realm ninth stage.

Xu Ning found a place to sit down.

"Isn't it a waste of talent for a mortal realm ninth stage to be a waiter here?"

Xu Ning was not in a hurry to order food. He just chatted with the waiter.

"Our restaurant is the most prosperous restaurant in the county. Even some dao realm masters will rest here when passing by. In this kind of place, although we are just doing odd jobs, we receive a lot of income."

The waiter was good at talking. "Our income is all in martial arts resources. As long as I practice martial arts hard and have enough resources to support me, maybe I can break through to the void realm one day. At that time, I can find a better job." The waiter's realm was low, so he didn't know that Xu Ning was also a dao realm master.

"Good ambition."

Xu Ning smiled.

He could sense that the people in State Wansheng had a stronger desire for martial arts.

Of course, this was normal.

In the Abyss North, the living environment of powerful warriors and ordinary people was divided, but in State Wansheng, it was different. In a city, an ordinary person that you passed by could actually be a void realm martial artist.

This kind of close and real contact would make ordinary people have a greater desire for martial arts.

Afterwards, with the help of the waiter, Xu Ning ordered a few delicacies.

The ingredients for these delicacies were relatively precious.

Xu Ning calculated the price. The total price of these delicacies was two and a half Pure Source Pills.

"Wait a moment."

Just as the waiter was about to inform the kitchen to serve the dishes, Xu Ning stopped the waiter.

"I have something to ask you." Xu Ning took out a Pure Source Pill.

This Pure Source Pill was only an ordinary quality Pure Source Pill, which he had obtained from the Jade Night Sect.

"Sir, please speak."

The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the Pure Source Pill in Xu Ning's hand.

His half a year's worth of martial arts resources added up to the price of one Pure Source Pill.

"Do you know of a dao realm alchemist named Leng Ran near Fenghe Canton?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Master Alchemist Leng Ran?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Of course!"

The waiter even had a look of reverence in his eyes.

Those who could become master alchemists had to advance to the dao realm first, followed by mastering dao realm alchemy techniques. "You know? Where is she?" Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

He thought he would have to search hard, but he didn't expect to find out some information so soon.

This was the advantage of being in State Wansheng. A mortal realm warrior could also learn about a dao realm master.

If he was in the Abyss North, the difference in strength would be too great. He might not even have heard of the different cultivation environments.

"Master Alchemist Leng Ran lives in the Faint Bamboo Forest outside Luoxu County." The waiter answered truthfully.

"The Faint Bamboo Forest outside Luoxu County…" Xu Ning remembered this place. "Thank you very much."

Xu Ning handed the Pure Source Pill to the waiter.

"Thank you, sir!" The waiter was overjoyed.

The value of this Pure Source Pill was comparable to half a year of his savings.

The waiter guessed that the guest in front of him might be a powerful high level void realm martial artist. Otherwise, even a mid level void realm martial artist would rarely give out a Pure Source Pill.

Afterwards, the waiter went to the kitchen to push out the dishes. "This friend, are you also going to the Faint Bamboo Forest to find Senior Leng Ran and ask to be her disciple?"

Just when the waiter left, a voice came from behind Xu Ning.

Xu Ning turned his head and saw a refined man in his thirties.

Xu Ning could sense his true strength. He was a void realm seventh stage martial artist.

"Ask to be her disciple?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. "I just want to visit Senior Leng Ran."

"You are old friends with Senior Leng Ran?"

The man in the common seal realm asked.

Xu Ning thought about it and shook his head. "No."

Although Xu Ning and Leng Ran had never met before, he was still the junior of an old friend. However, this matter concerned the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect, so Xu Ning did not want to tell strangers.

"Since you are not Senior Leng Ran's old friend, you will definitely not be able to meet

her."

The common seal realm man shook his head and smiled.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning saw that the man seemed to know a lot about Leng Ran, so he took the initiative to invite him. "Why don't you come and sit at my table?"

"Sure."

The common seal realm man had not ordered yet, so he sat next to Xu Ning.

"I am Xu Ning, may I know your name?"

Xu Ning first introduced himself and asked.

"My name is Zheng Yiqing."

The man cupped his fists. "Huh? This is your demon beast?" At this moment, Zheng Yiqing noticed Gray lying on the seat next to Xu Ning. "That's right."

Xu Ning responded.

"Your demon beast looks extraordinary…"

Zheng Yiqing also vaguely noticed Gray's uniqueness.

The void beast bloodline was considered top-notch among the demon beasts in State Wansheng.

However, Zheng Yiqing did not continue to focus on Gray.

"Brother Xu, you are an alchemist, right?"

Zheng Yiqing asked. "You can guess?"

Xu Ning asked with a smile.

Zheng Yiqing waved her hand. "Those who take the initiative to find Senior Leng Ran must be alchemists. If they want to find Senior Leng Ran, they either want to be her disciple or to learn a few moves from her."

"Brother Zheng, are you looking for Senior Leng Ran to be her disciple?"

Xu Ning guessed his intentions from Zheng Yiqing's words. "I am indeed going to the Faint Bamboo Forest to become her disciple."

Zheng Yiqing didn't hide anything. "Senior Leng Ran only accepts disciples once every ten years, so of course I can't miss this opportunity. As long as I can obtain recognition in Senior Leng Ran's assessment, I can become Senior Leng Ran's disciple and receive her guidance, allowing my alchemy skills to improve greatly."

After Xu Ning heard this, he asked, "Are there a lot of people looking for Senior Leng Ran to be her disciple?"

"Of course!"

Zheng Yiqing said, "Not only is Senior Leng Ran proficient in both orthodox and miraculous alchemy techniques, but she also has a deep understanding in both of them. Her alchemy skills are famous throughout State Guqing."

"It is also because of this that every ten years, there would be at least a hundred people who would come to become her disciple in admiration for her. And this number is only low because there is a requirement they need to reach to be accepted, otherwise the bamboo in the Faint Bamboo Forest would have been trampled to the ground."

Zheng Yiqing's tone was extremely exaggerated. "This is the third time I have come to be her disciple. In the previous two times, I didn't pass the assessment. This time, I must succeed!"

Report chapter

Chapter 234 Assessment, Gao Zhice

After hearing what Zheng Yiqing said, Xu Ning's interest was piqued.

Xu Ning had not communicated with other alchemists when he was in the Abyss North.

This was because Xu Ning's advancement in alchemy was all due to the help of the Martial Arts Panel, so there was no need to communicate with other alchemists.

Moreover, the level of alchemists in the Abyss North was relatively low. Even if Xu Ning wanted to communicate with other alchemists, they would not be on the same level.

But after hearing what Zheng Yiqing said, Xu Ning felt that if he went to see Leng Ran, he might be able to get in touch with the alchemy circle in State Wansheng.

"Brother Xu, you are trying to find Senior Leng, Ran because you want to follow Senior Leng Ran and advance your alchemy, right?"

Zheng Yiqing looked at Xu Ning as though he had seen through him.

"That's right."

Xu Ning stopped explaining and just said, "I just wanted to ask Senior Leng Ran for some pointers, but I didn't expect Senior Leng Ran to still be accepting disciples."

"In this case, let's go and become her disciples together, what do you think?"

Zheng Yiqing invited.

"Sure, but if I join, you will have one more competitor."

Xu Ning smiled.

Zheng Yiqing waved his hand. "Senior Leng Ran does not restrict the number of disciples she accepts. As long as you can complete the assessment, you can become an in-name disciple."

"An in-name disciple…"

After Xu Ning heard this, he asked, "Then how do I become a core disciple?"

"A core disciple?"

Zheng Yiqing shook his head gently. "It's difficult, too difficult. Senior Leng Ran accepts in disciples once every ten years, and each time, she may only recruit one or two core disciples. Those who can be selected as core disciples must basically be at the level of a master alchemist."

"Oh?"

Xu Ning realized that he had underestimated Senior Leng Ran.

This Senior Leng Ran's alchemy standards might even be considered high-level even among the master alchemists.

"No wonder the former sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect gave the sect's treasury to Leng Ran…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'It is probably because Leng Ran has a high status in the alchemy circle and a very powerful faction behind her. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to protect the treasury of the Swallow Heron Sect. An example of this case was Senior Wan Ye. Senior Wan Ye had only taken the sect token but was chased away from State Wansheng.'

"There is a big difference between an in-name disciple and a core disciple."

Zheng Yiqing didn't notice Xu Ning's thoughts. He said, "In-name disciples can only learn from Senior Leng Ran for ten years. Once the ten-year period ends, they have to leave the Faint Bamboo Forest. Only core disciples can stay by Senior Leng Ran's side and learn her alchemy knowledge for a long time."

"Let's not think too much about it. Being able to become an in-name disciple and observe Senior Leng Ran's alchemy skills for ten years is enough."

Zheng Yiqing didn't have any hopes of becoming a core disciple, nor did he think Xu Ning had the opportunity to become Leng Ran's core disciple.

After all, Zheng Yiqing had never heard of Xu Ning in the alchemy circle.

"Thank you Brother Zheng for explaining."

Xu Ning learned about Leng Ran from Zheng Yiqing, so he thanked him.

Soon, the delicacies were served, and Xu Ning invited Zheng Yiqing to enjoy them together.

During this period, Gray tasted these precious cooked delicacies, but it showed not much interest in it.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went to the Faint Bamboo Forest with Zheng Yiqing.

Because Xu Ning had to accommodate Zheng Yiqing's speed, this trip took nearly ten days.

Soon after, the two arrived at the bamboo forest where Leng Ran stayed.

Xu Ning looked around. It looked more like a sea of bamboo than a bamboo forest.

There seemed to be no end to the green shadows.

The wind blew, creating jade-green waves.

"We're here!"

Zheng Yiqing looked at the familiar scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited.

He had already been eliminated twice, so he came here with the intention to burn his bridges.

"Who are you?"

As soon as the two walked a few steps along the path between the bamboo forests, a figure suddenly flashed in the sea of bamboo.

A man in white with a bamboo sword in hand blocked their path.

'"'Dao realm master…"

Xu Ning noticed that the white-clothed bamboo swordsman in front of him was a body smelting realm master.

"We are here to participate in Senior Leng Ran's disciple assessment."

Zheng Yiqing was not surprised to see this white-clothed man. This was not the first time he had come here. And every time he came here, he would be interrogated.

"Participating in the assessment…"

When the white-clothed man heard this, his serious expression relaxed a little.

"You too?"

He asked Xu Ning specially.

The white-clothed man also noticed Xu Ning's strength as a dao realm master.

"Yes."

Xu Ning did not explain his intentions.

Xu Ning felt that he couldn't tell anyone that he was here to take the Swallow Heron Sect's treasury. He had to see Leng Ran personally.

"Both of you can go in, but not this demon beast." The man in white stared at Gray on Xu Ning's shoulder.

Xu Ning did not argue.

"Gray, wait for me outside the bamboo forest."

Xu Ning said to Gray.

He was not worried about Gray's safety. If it really encountered any danger, Gray could hide in the Demon Beast Scroll.

Moreover, this bamboo forest was Leng Ran's territory. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to cause trouble here.

"Brother, after you are done with your work, just find me outside."

Gray turned into a silver shadow and left the bamboo forest.

"Go in."

The man in white looked at Xu Ning.

"There are a hundred and fifty spots for this year's assessment, and there are already more than a hundred candidates here. Quickly hurry over."

The man in white reminded.

"Thanks a lot."

Zheng Yiqing and Xu Ning said at the same time.

Afterwards, the white-clothed man disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"That person is a disciple of the Faint Bamboo Forest?"

Xu Ning asked.

"No, he is Senior Leng Ran's follower."

Zheng Yiqing said, "Although Senior Leng Ran recruited disciples, she did not establish a sect. But in order to maintain the safety and stability of the Faint Bamboo Forest, she recruited a group of followers. These followers are responsible for the chores of Senior Leng Ran, and in return Senior Leng Ran would provide them with the medicinal pills needed for their cultivation."

"For example, recently, the Faint Bamboo Forest is recruiting new disciples, and these followers are responsible for interrogating the candidates who come here. Only those who have reached the common seal realm and are willing to be a disciple are allowed to enter."

Zheng Yiqing continued to add, "To become a follower for a master alchemist of Senior Leng Ran's level, they would have to go through a process of selections. After all, following Senior Leng Ran means not only would you receive enough medicinal pills, but also high quality medicinal pills, which will greatly increase one's speed of advancement."

"I see…"

Xu Ning understood and nodded.

"Let's go, let's occupy a spot first."

Zheng Yiqing urged.

Xu Ning quickly followed.

After passing through the bamboo forest, Xu Ning saw other white-clothed followers.

He also saw some demon beasts that were not particularly fierce moving about in the forest.

These demon beasts were different from Gray and Cyan. They obviously did not have the fierceness of demon beasts. They even looked like domesticated pets. They were obviously raised in the Faint Bamboo Forest. "Sure enough, most of them have arrived."

Zheng Yiqing brought Xu Ning to the assessment venue.

It was an open space in the bamboo forest. The open space was laid with cyan bricks, and one hundred and fifty tables were neatly arranged on the ground.

There were people sitting cross-legged next to each table.

Most of them were high level void realm martial artists, and only a few were elementary level dao realm masters.

There were several people in white waiting at the edge of the open space. When Zheng Yiqing and Xu Ning arrived, some looked over, but most of them closed their eyes and waited for the assessment. "Find a table and sit down. By sitting down, your spot is secured."

Zheng Yiqing whispered, "When all hundred and fifty candidates are here, the assessment will begin."

"Understood."

Xu Ning responded.

He planned to participate in this assessment first. After that, he would meet Leng Ran in person and explain his intentions.

After passing this assessment, he could also observe the standard of ordinary alchemists in State Wansheng. Afterwards, Zheng Yiqing and Xu Ning found two vacant connected tables in the corner and sat down.

Zheng Yiqing closed his eyes and adjusted his mental state.

On the other hand, Xu Ning was quite relaxed. With nothing to do, he checked the decorations on the table.

On the table in front of him was a half meter tall and half meter wide pill furnace, as well as the special burning wood needed to refine pills.

Not everyone who practiced the alchemy sutra could directly use the power of their attributes to break down the medicinal effect. Some people had to use flames to refine the medicinal effect of the raw materials.

"The equipment on everyone's table is the same. This kind of assessment can avoid external interference to the greatest extent."

Xu Ning understood the intentions.

For example, Xu Ning's dao weapon pill furnace could provide an increase in success rate and quality.

Although its boost when it came to refining dao realm medicinal pills, which were harder and had higher requirements to refine, was limited, its function could not be completely ignored.

After observing all the candidates, Xu Ning sat down like everyone else.

Several hours had passed. Although Xu Ning did not open his eyes, he could still sense people coming in one after another. "There are almost a hundred and fifty people here…"

Xu Ning opened his eyes again and found that it was already dark.

Of course, the weakest person present was in the common seal realm, which did not affect them.

"Gao Zhice is actually here!"

"Gao Zhice? He is Gao Zhice?"

"He also came to participate in Senior Leng Ran's disciple assessment?"

"It seems that he is going to be a core disciple after this assessment!"

.

.

Suddenly, the quiet assessment venue became noisy.

A handsome man in a green robe walked into the assessment venue step by step.

He ignored the discussions around him and sat down on an empty seat.

He waved his long sleeves and sat down to rest. "Gao Zhice…"

Xu Ning took a few more looks at this person.

Although he didn't know about this Gao Zhice before, he could infer from the reaction of others that this Gao Zhice was very famous in the alchemy circle of State Guqing.

Report chapter

Chapter 235 Shock

"Gao Zhice…"

Zheng Yiqing opened his eyes, his face full of surprise. "He is a master alchemist. He is probably here for the identity of a core disciple." "Who is this Gao Zhice?" Xu Ning asked in a low voice.

Zheng Yiqing was surprised. "You don't know Gao Zhice?"

Xu Ning shook his head.

Zheng Yiqing looked surprised, but he still patiently explained to Xu Ning, "Gao Zhice comes from a martial arts family, and he has displayed his martial arts talent and alchemy talent ever since he was a child. He is very famous in the alchemy circle of State Guqing."

"He must be aiming to be a core disciple this time."

Zheng Yiqing's tone was full of envy. "I see…" Xu Ning could see that even a master alchemist of Gao Zhizhi's level would come to be her disciple. This meant that Leng Ran's alchemy skills were indeed extremely high.

Soon, the crowd quieted down.

Time slowly passed by.

The next morning, the last alchemist participating in the assessment arrived.

A person in white who was waiting on the side all this while walked up to everyone. "All disciples participating in the assessment have arrived. The assessment will officially begin at noon today."

an

се

Many people's hearts shook after the announcement. Except for Xu Ning, Gao Zhice, and a few others, everyone else was a little nervous.

Especially for those alchemists with average talent and resources. They were about to see the end of their alchemy path, and only by becoming a disciple of Leng Ran would they have a chance to advance further.

At noon.

"The examiners are here!"

Someone suddenly said.

Several figures walked over from the depths of the bamboo forest.

The leader was a woman. She was wearing a light yellow dress and exuded a cold and arrogant temperament.

Behind her, there were also several dao realm masters. When they looked at the candidates, they subconsciously had the look of a superior.

"Hmm?"

The woman in the yellow dress noticed Gao Zhice.

She obviously knew Gao Zhice, so she nodded unobtrusively.

"She is Pei Xuewen. She and the people behind her are all core disciples of Senior Leng Ran. They are all dao realm alchemists."

At this moment, Zheng Yiqing secretly transmitted information to Xu Ning. "So she is a core disciple…" At first Xu Ning thought that the woman in the yellow dress was Leng Ran.

Because of a dao realm master's longevity, one's seniority could not be determined by appearance.

'Gao Zhice is actually here…'

Several core disciples behind Pei Xuewen also transmitted their voices secretly.

"It seems that we are about to have a Junior Brother Gao."

These core disciples did not care about any other participants, they only cared about Gao Zhice.

"Everyone."

Pei Xuewen walked in front of everyone. "I am Pei Xuewen, a core disciple of the Faint Bamboo Forest. I will preside over today's assessment."

"There are two assessments today. The first assessment is for you to refine basic medicinal pills in order for us to assess your skills. The second assessment is to refine the best medicinal pill you can refine with the limited spirit herbs we provide you. This test will assess your limits."

"After the two assessments are over, we will judge whether you have reached the standard based on the results of your refinement. The qualified ones will become my master's in-name disciples. The outstanding ones will personally meet my master after the test. If you can obtain the approval of my master, then you will become our junior brothers and sisters, possessing the core disciple identity of the Faint Bamboo Forest."

Everyone listened carefully when Pei Xuewen spoke, afraid to miss any details.

"Lastly, when everyone is refining pills, don't try to cheat or exchange pills. Once you are discovered, you will have no fate with the Faint Bamboo Forest. Moreover, it will be difficult for you to stay in the alchemy circle of State Guqing as well."

Pei Xuewen warned.

"Okay, let the assessment begin."

Pei Xuewen waved her hand, and some green-clothed servants presented the medicinal materials.

Soon, five types of materials were placed in front of Xu Ning. It was a total of fifteen sets of raw materials. 'Pure Source Pill, Breath Restraining Pill, Youth Returning Pill…'

Xu Ning discovered that these five types of pills were all extremely basic pills.

Some of these medicinal pills were even able to be refined by beginner void realm alchemists.

"You can refine each pill three times."

After everyone received the pills, Pei Xuewen said again, "Because it is a basic pill, you must have a 100% success rate. Even if you just waste one set of raw materials, you will still fail the assessment."

Some people began to feel uneasy when they heard the assessment requirements.

Although they were all basic medicinal pills, if the psychological pressure was too high, some mistakes might pop up while they were refining

"In addition, the fifteen pills you refined must include eight superior-grade pills."

Pei Xuewen added.

The ranks of medicinal pills were divided into perfect, superior-grade, ordinary, and unqualified wasted pills.

"Eight superior-grade…" Most of the candidates below were already frowning

This was equivalent to a superior-grade success rate of more than 50%.

Unless one was immensely skilled, refining a superior-grade pill required some luck.

For many candidates, this was a huge challenge.

Even Pei Xuewen herself believed that not more than fifty people could pass the first assessment, and at least 60% of the candidates would be eliminated by this.

"Let's begin, the time limit is four hours."

Pei Xuewen listed one last condition. As soon as she finished speaking, all the candidates began to move.

"Let's see how Gao Zhice refines pills."

At this moment, Pei Xuewen and the core disciples next to her all looked at Gao Zhice.

The other candidates were stared at by the white-clothed people to prevent any cheating from happening.

Compared to the nervousness of others, Gao Zhice, who was deliberately being paid attention to, did not panic at all.

He first patted the table with his sleeves, then, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, he stuffed all fifteen sets of medicinal materials into the pill furnace.

He then began to refine it with his alchemy technique.

"This Gao Zhice is trying to refine all five types of medicinal pills at once!"

Someone exclaimed among the core disciples.

"Refining all five types of pills in the same pill furnace at the same time and to ensure a superior-grade rate of more than 50%. Isn't this too difficult?"

Some of the core disciples were already wondering if they could pass the assessment by using Gao Zhice's method.

Gao Zhice didn't care about what others thought, he just refined the pills step by step.

He activated his dao realm alchemy technique and activated the power of the dao realm. He began to break down the medicinal effect, then began to refine the pill at an extremely fast speed, condensing the pill to form the shape. From the beginning to the end, Gao Zhice did not look troubled at all. He seemed to be at ease throughout the entire process.

'Gao Zhice's alchemy level has improved again.'

Pei Xuewen's eyes were full of admiration. 'He has probably raised his alchemy technique to the peak of the first level. He will soon reach the second level…'

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, there was a series of muffled sounds.

Fifteen pills jumped out of Gao Zhice's furnace and landed neatly on the table in front of him.

"Someone refined a pill so quickly?"

"It's not one pill, it's fifteen pills. Gao Zhice has already refined all the required pills!"

Gao Zhice's strong performance stunned everyone participating in the assessment.

Many of them were affected by Gao Zhice's performance, causing their pill refinement to fail.

The next moment, Pei Xuewen and the others quickly walked next to Gao Zhice. "I have refined all fifteen pills."

Gao Zhice was calm, as if he was not surprised by his performance.

"Let me check the quality."

Pei Xuewen personally checked. "This…"

Pei Xuewen's expression stiffened as she checked the pills one by one. The core disciples behind her looked at each other in disbelief.

"Eight superior-grade…"

Pei Xuewen's voice was suspicious. "The remaining seven are all… perfect!"

Gao Zhice had achieved a 50% superior-grade success rate in another sense.

'Even when I have followed Master for thirty years, this is the best I can do…'

Pei Xuewen thought to herself, 'This Gao Zhice is truly amazing! In the future, he might be the leader of the alchemist circle in State Guqing.'

The eyes of the core disciples next to Pei Xuewen completely changed. If they used to think of Gao Zhice as their junior brother, then now they all knew very well that even before Gao Zhice entered the sect, they were already far inferior to this junior brother.

"I passed the first assessment, right?"

Gao Zhice's smile made everyone feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

"You passed."

Pei Xuewen nodded. "Wait for the second assessment." "Okay."

Gao Zhice responded.

Pei Xuewen and the other core disciples didn't know what to say. "Core Disciple Pei…"

Right at this moment, a person in white walked next to them.

He pointed in Xu Ning's direction. "That person has also refined all fifteen pills." "What?"

Pei Xuewen and the others quickly followed the direction pointed by the white-clothed person and saw the calm face of Xu Ning.

On the table in front of him, there were also fifteen pills lined up.

'Someone can match the refining speed of Gao Zhice!?'

They were shocked again. Gao Zhice also noticed this and turned to look at Xu Ning

"Let's go and take a look."

Pei Xuewen led them to Xu Ning's side.

Gao Zhice frowned, paused for a moment, then got up and followed.

Logically speaking, as a candidate, he should sit still.

But because of his relatively special status, the white-clothed person and several other core disciples did not stop him.

Pei Xuewen walked over and looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning nodded slightly as a gesture.

Pei Xuewen went to check the quality of the pills in doubt.

"Perfect, perfect, perfect…"

Boom!

Pei Xuewen, Gao Zhice, and the other core disciples were shocked. After checking the pills, Xu Ning's fifteen pills were all perfect!

Report chapter

Chapter 236 Extreme Strength Pill, Moonlight Pill

Gao Zhice's near 50% perfect-grade success rate was already ridiculous.

And a success rate of 100% was even more unimaginable.

Instantly, everyone present had a thought. Did he really not cheat and swap the pills? "Are you sure he refined these pills?"

A core disciple behind Pei Xuewen asked the man in white who had told them Xu Ning had successfully refined the pills. He had a doubtful look on his face, but he did not ask Xu Ning directly.

Xu Ning saw this and raised his eyebrows.

This was rather disrespectful.

But he didn't seem to care.

When everyone's attention was on Gao Zhice just now, Xu Ning activated hiw dao realm alchemy technique, the Red Sea Pill Sutra, and threw fifteen sets of materials into the furnace.

The speed at which he refined fifteen perfect pills was even faster than Gao Zhice.

But when the pills were ready, Xu Ning did not make any noise, so everyone's attention was not on him.

"Yes, ever since the pills were being refined, I have been observing him."

The man in white who was responsible for monitoring the candidates said, "He threw in fifteen sets of raw materials and took out these fifteen pills."

After receiving the affirmation from the white-clothed person, the core disciple who asked just now stopped talking.

Everyone looked at Xu Ning with complicated expressions. Unlike Gao Zhice, Xu Ning came out of nowhere and was a stranger to them, so Xu Ning's impact on them was far greater than Gao Zhice's.

'I wonder where this master alchemist came from…'

Gao Zhice's heart was complicated. At the beginning, he was calm and composed, thinking that no one could compare to him in this assessment.

But when he saw Xu Ning use the same technique as him, but with a 100% success rate, Gao Zhice felt a strong sense of frustration.

'It's okay, there is still the second assessment, as long as I perform better than him in the second assessment. After all, the first assessment is only refining basic medicinal pills. For master alchemists, refining scarce and difficult medicinal pills is the true assessment of our skill level.' Gao Zhice comforted himself in his mind.

"May I ask for your name?"

Pei Xuewen dropped her airs and took the initiative to ask Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning."

Xu Ning gave a simple response.

"Xu Ning…"

Pei Xuewen only received a name, but she did not ask further.

In his opinion, Xu Ning would definitely become this year's core disciple, so there would be plenty of opportunities to learn more in the future.

"I look forward to your performance in the second assessment."

Pei Xuewen gave everyone a look.

They stepped away from Xu Ning and walked to the front of the field.

"Someone is stronger than Gao Zhice?" "Xu Ning, I have never heard of this name. Is he not from State Guqing?"

There was a flurry of discussion.

When people were impatient, refining medicinal pills in such a state was more difficult. For the other candidates whose mental states were affected, this also increased the difficulty of the assessment.

However, this kind of external impact was a part of the assessment.

Otherwise, the candidates present would have been assigned to an alchemy room for the assessment.

'Brother Xu's level is comparable to Gao Zhice?' Zheng Yiqing couldn't calm down for a long time.

When they were travelling together, out of courtesy, he didn't ask Xu Ning too much in detail. He just regarded Xu Ning as an outsider who didn't know much about State Guqing's alchemy circle.

But the facts proved that Xu Ning was not only an alchemy expert, but a master alchemist.

"Hu…"

Zheng Yiqing took a long breath and calmed down.

'Brother Xu's performance is so amazing, I can't compare to him. It's better for me to pass the first assessment first.'

Zheng Yiqing adjusted his mental state and began to refine pills one by one. As for Xu Ning, he sat at the table and quietly observed the other alchemists.

Xu Ning also noticed that Gao Zhice was paying attention to him from time to time. He obviously regarded him as a competitor.

Xu Ning didn't care.

Soon, four hours went by.

During this period of time, many candidates who had problems with the refinement process took the initiative to leave before the time was up.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer candidates in the venue.

Due to the influence of Gao Zhice and Xu Ning, the number of people who successfully passed the first assessment was lower than Pei Xuewen's expectations of fifty people, with only thirty-seven people passing. "I did it!"

Zheng Yiqing reached the requirements at the final moment.

He successfully refined all fifteen medicinal pills, with eight of them being of superior quality.

Zheng Yiqing was overjoyed. He had never passed the first assessment before when he came here the past two times.

"Congratulations, Brother Zheng."

Xu Ning whispered.

"Brother Xu, I really can't judge you by your cover."

Zheng Yiqing sighed.

During their journey together, Xu Ning had never revealed his strength and true level. He had always communicated with him as an equal.

According to the difference between their realm and alchemy skills, Zheng Yiqing knew very well that if everything was placed on the stage, he was not qualified to compete with Xu Ning.

"Don't say that."

Xu Ning waved his hand. "Adjust your state of mind and prepare for the second assessment."

"Okay."

Zheng Yiqing stopped talking and waited for the second assessment.

After reviewing the qualified candidates for the first round, Pei Xuewen announced the start of the second round. Green-clothed servants appeared and brought the medicinal materials needed for the second assessment.

This time, they brought along thirty types of medicinal materials, with each medicinal material being of equal quantity. "Oh?"

Xu Ning looked at the medicinal materials and noticed something special.

"After mixing and matching these thirty medicinal materials, there are more than ten types of medicinal pills that can be refined."

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'But just like what Pei Xuewen said before, the second assessment tests one's knowledge and skill with the limited spirit herbs provided. The higher the level of the pill refined, and the better the quality, the higher the evaluation it would be given.'

"In the second assessment, you only need to refine one pill, and you are allowed to fail multiple times. As long as there are enough medicinal materials, your number of times you can refine your desired pill will not be limited. Thus, I hope everyone can challenge your limits as much as possible. Only by doing better can you stand out in our assessment."

Pei Xuewen stood in front and said, "Okay, the second assessment begins now. Time limit: two hours."

The time for the second assessment was half of the previous one.

Unlike last time, after Pei Xuewen spoke, no one immediately began.

Everyone, including Xu Ning and Gao Zhice, who performed spectacularly in the previous assessment, were deep in thought.

This assessment seemed to have a high degree of freedom, but it was also extremely difficult.

Ordinary candidates would think about how to find a balance between the level of the pill and the success rate of refining that specific pill in order to obtain a high evaluation.

On the other hand, Xu Ning and Gao Zhice were thinking about how to refine the most difficult pill.

Especially Gao Zhice, who had been stimulated by Xu Ning previously, had an obsession with winning now.

'In my knowledge, there are a total of sixteen types of medicinal pills that can be refined.' Xu Ning weighed his options and said, "The hardest among them is a pill called the Extreme Strength Pill recorded in the Red Sea Demon Lord's alchemy encyclopedia. According to the alchemy encyclopedia, this Extreme Strength Pill is not famous in the outside world, so not many people know about it. Moreover, it has some demonic path characteristics."

"This one it is…'

Xu Ning finally made a decision. "With my abilities, I should be able to guarantee a 50% success rate. The quantity of these medicinal materials is enough for me to refine the pill twice. Therefore, the probability of success is extremely high." After making up his mind, Xu Ning began to make his moves.

'He has already begun…'

When Gao Zhice noticed that Xu Ning had already taken action, his heart tightened.

"Forget it, I will refine a Moonlight Pill."

Gao Zhice also made a decision. The Moonlight Pill was the most difficult pill to refine in Gao Zhice's knowledge with the limited spirit herbs provided.

'A Moonlight Pill is even effective on an elementary level dao realm master. Moreover, it is also a dao realm pill. Once refined, I will definitely be the winner.'

Gao Zhice thought to himself, 'But that Xu Ning may also choose to refine a Moonlight Pill, so I have to ensure that it is of superior-grade. If it is superior-grade, he should not be able to surpass me.'

Afterwards, Gao Zhice took action.

"What kind of pills do you think Gao Zhice will refine?"

The core disciples began to talk.

"It must be the Moonlight Pill."

A disciple said, "With his temperament, since he was suppressed by Xu Ning just now, he definitely wants to prove himself in this assessment. Therefore, he will definitely choose the most difficult Moonlight Pill."

"Xu Ning is probably also refining a Moonlight Pill as well. I'm afraid the quality of the Moonlight Pill will determine the win."

"However, everything is uncertain. What if they refine some kind of pill that we have no knowledge of?"

"How is that possible? We have been with Master for a long time, and our knowledge of medicinal pills is already extremely deep. How can there be medicinal pills that we don't know about?"

The core disciples communicated with each other while observing Gao Zhice and Xu Ning.

Xu Ning had taken away most of the attention that was originally on Gao Zhice.

The assessment was in progress.

Pak!

Suddenly, Gao Zhice's expression changed. A wisp of white smoke emerged from the furnace in front of him.

"Gao Zhice's first refinement failed."

Pei Xuewen noticed this.

"Gao Zhice actually failed his first refinement of the Moonlight Pill…" "It's okay, he has three chances to refine a Moonlight Pill with the materials in front of him."

The core disciples were talking.

Gao Zhice's expression was a little ugly. He noticed that Xu Ning was still calmly refining.

'I was too impatient. He has affected my mental state.'

Gao Zhice forcibly calmed down and began his second refinement.

He knew that if he did not adjust, he might not even be able to pass the assessment.

"The Extremely Strength Pill… is done!"

After half an hour, the furnace in front of Xu Ning trembled slightly. Suddenly, a gray pill jumped out of the pill furnace and landed in Xu Ning's hand.

Report chapter

Chapter 237 Leng Ran's Fear

'Superior-grade Extreme Strength Pill…'

Xu Ning looked at the gray pill in his hand with a satisfied expression.

Refining a superior-grade Extreme Strength Pill in one try was not easy for Xu Ning. There was a lot of luck involved.

"Xu Ning didn't refine a Moonlight Pill…"

Pei Xuewen and the other core disciples looked over.

"Can these limited medicinal materials be used to refine this kind of pill?"

Surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.

In their knowledge, the pills that could be made from these thirty medicinal materials did not have this kind of appearance.

"It's actually a type of pill that we don't know about…"

Pei Xuewen and the others had a new understanding of Xu Ning. Although they didn't know the effect of this pill, Xu Ning being able to refine a pill that they didn't even know about already showed that Xu Ning's knowledge in alchemy had exceeded theirs.

'Who is this Xu Ning?'

Pei Xuewen thought to herself, 'With the foundation he displayed, there must be a great master in alchemy behind him, so why did he come to learn from Master…'

On the other hand, Gao Zhice had completely adjusted himself. He was immersed in the state of refining pills, so he didn't notice that Xu Ning had already refined an Extreme Strength Pill.

Bang!

Gao Zhice finally refined a Moonlight Pill successfully.

'Superior-grade!'

Gao Zhice was relieved.

For him, refining a superior-grade Moonlight Pill was already extraordinary.

'I wonder if Xu Ning has refined a Moonlight Pill…'

Gao Zhice looked at Xu Ning.

'That is…'

Gao Zhice saw a gray pill on Xu Ning's table.

'It's not a Moonlight Pill!' The corner of Gao Zhice's eyes twitched. 'It's a pill I don't know about…'

'Where is this person from? How could he refine a pill that even I don't know about?'

Gao Zhice felt that Xu Ning was extremely mysterious. He suddenly appeared and had unfathomable skills in alchemy.

Gao Zhice turned his head, feeling a little annoyed.

All along, Gao Zhice had been regarded as one of the top alchemy descendants in State Guqing. He had always been confident.

Only after meeting Xu Ning today did he feel powerless.

At this moment, Pei Xuewen and the others came to Gao Zhice's side before the assessment was over.

"Moonlight Pill, superior-grade."

Pei Xuewen first checked the medicinal pill refined by Gao Zhice.

"Good, wait to meet Master. You will definitely be selected as a core disciple."

Pei Xuewen's words confirmed Gao Zhice's identity as an in-name disciple in a sense.

Gao Zhice thanked her in a low voice, but his expression was calm.

Pei Xuewen then walked next to Xu Ning.

"What kind of pill did you refine? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Pei Xuewen held the pill in her hand and looked at it repeatedly.

Although she didn't know what kind of pill this was, Pei Xuewen knew that the quality of this pill was superior-grade. "This is an Extreme Strength Pill."

Xu Ning explained, "Swallowing this pill can allow you to maintain your peak state for three days and three nights. You won't be tired, nor will you need to recover. You can ensure a long battle at your peak state." After a pause, Xu Ning added, "It can also be used by an elementary-level dao realm master."

"Peak state for three days and three nights? And it can even be used by an elementary-level dao realm master?"

Pei Xuewen seemed to be in disbelief.

Whether it was a mortal realm warrior, a void realm martial artist, or a dao realm master, everyone's limit couldn't be maintained for a long time. At most, they could last for an hour before entering a state of exhaustion. Even though this was the land of State Wansheng and the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, it was impossible to recover without calming down.

"You're talking nonsense."

Behind Pei Xuewen, a core disciple felt that Xu Ning was talking nonsense.

Xu Ning didn't argue. He said, "I'm not exaggerating the effect. In exchange for this effect, the user just needs to suffer a backlash."

"What kind of backlash?"

Pei Xuewen asked.

"Dying from exhaustion."

Xu Ning said.

Pei Xuewen pursed her lips. "I can't judge the quality of your Extreme Strength Pill. I have to bring it to Master and let her judge."

"Sure."

Xu Ning nodded.

Afterwards, Pei Xuewen left and walked deeper into the bamboo forest.

Pei Xuewen went to the deepest part of the bamboo forest.

There was an extremely wide bamboo structure, making it look like a small sect.

Pei Xuewen walked into a bamboo house.

There was a woman in her thirties sitting cross-legged in the room.

Although her appearance was young, she gave off an ancient feeling.

"What is it? Have you finished selecting the in-name disciples?"

The woman opened her eyes and looked at Pei Xuewen.

"Master…" The person in front of Pei Xuewen was the person Xu Ning was looking for, Leng Ran.

"Soon…"

Pei Xuewen said, "It's just that in the second assessment, someone refined a pill that we have never seen before. We can't determine its level and effectiveness, so we can only let you examine it first."

"Oh?"

Leng Ran seemed interested.

"There are pills that you guys don't know?"

Leng Ran knew very well the alchemy skills of her disciples. If they had never heard of this pill, it meant that it was very unpopular.

"What medicinal pill is it, let me see."

Leng Ran was intrigued.

"Master, please take a look, this is the pill."

Pei Xuewen handed the gray Extreme Strength Pill to Leng Ran.

Leng Ran took it and looked at it.

When she began to examine it, her expression was relaxed, but soon her expression became a little serious.

"Did that person say what kind of pill this is? And what is its effect?"

Leng Ran frowned.

When Pei Xuewen saw Leng Ran's serious expression, she didn't dare to hesitate. She quickly said, "That person said that this pill is called the Extreme Strength Pill. After swallowing it, it can allow an elementary level dao realm master to be at their peak for three days and three nights. But after the time limit, they will suffer a backlash and die."

"Extreme Strength Pill?" After Leng Ran heard this, she had a complicated look in her eyes. "It really is an Extreme Strength Pill…"

"Call that person over, I want to see him personally."

Leng Ran suddenly said.

Pei Xuewen didn't expect Leng Ran to act like this.

After learning that this pill was an Extreme Strength Pill, Leng Ran's expression seemed like she was facing a great enemy, with a hint of nervousness.

"Understood."

Pei Xuewen's heart skipped a beat when she saw Leng Ran's reaction.

Pei Xuewen received the order and left. When she left, Leng Ran's eyes instantly became sharp.

'Extreme Strength Pill, isn't this a pill that was developed by the Red Sea Demon Lord… If he knows about this pill and can refine it, he must be related to the Red Sea Demon Lord!'

Leng Ran was extremely afraid. 'Red Sea Demon Lord, this person is neither good nor evil. It is difficult to figure out what his people mean by coming to me…'

Inside the room, Leng Ran fell into deep thought. 'Who is this Xu Ning?'

Pei Xuewen quickly returned to the assessment venue.

"Xu Ning, my master asked you to see her."

After Pei Xuewen returned, she did not hesitate.

"Master wants to see him personally?"

The other core disciples were also taken aback. Gao Zhice didn't expect this either. "Go."

Pei Xuewen urged.

"Okay." This was beyond Xu Ning's expectations.

'It seems that the Extreme Strength Pill of the Red Sea Demon Lord seems to be very unusual. Even an alchemist of Leng Ran's level is alarmed…'

However, Xu Ning felt that this was a good thing.

At least he could see Leng Ran in private now.

Afterwards, Xu Ning was brought to Leng Ran by Pei Xuewen under the gaze of all the candidates.

'Is this the Leng Ran Senior Wan Ye asked me to find?'

When Xu Ning saw Leng Ran, he noticed that Leng Ran was staring at him cautiously. "Xuewen, stand down."

Leng Ran said to Pei Xuewen. Pei Xuewen glanced at Xu Ning and responded, "Yes."

After Pei Xuewen left, only Leng Ran and Xu Ning were left in the room.

"Senior Leng."

Xu Ning saluted. Leng Ran was expressionless. "What is your name?"

"Xu Ning."

Xu Ning was thinking about how to approach her about the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect, but he felt that Leng Ran was hostile to him.

"Let's not beat around the bush. Tell me, who are you to the Red Sea Demon Lord?"

Leng Ran went straight to the point. "The Extreme Strength Pill is the first dao realm pill created by the Red Sea Demon Lord not long after he entered the dao realm. If you can refine it, it means that you must be related to the Red Sea Demon Lord, and it is very likely that you are from the Red Sea Demon Sect. Why did you come to our Faint Bamboo Forest?"

Xu Ning suddenly realized when he heard her words.

So Leng Ran misunderstood that he was a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

"The Red Sea Demon Lord seems to be very intimidating in State Wansheng… Even a famous dao realm master alchemist like Leng Ran is so afraid of him…'

Xu Ning didn't know much about the Red Sea Demon Lord in the past. He only knew from Wan Ye that the Red Sea Demon Sect was a top existence among the unofficial sects in State Wansheng. Even some people in the Imperial Court, even princes and kings, had personal ties with them.

Moreover, the Red Sea Demon Lord was extremely domineering. He was one of the top individuals in State Wansheng.

"Senior Leng Ran, you are mistaken."

Xu Ning quickly explained, "I'm not a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect, I just learned the Red Sea Pill Sutra."

"You learned the Red Sea Pill Sutra?!"

Leng Ran's expression turned cold again. "The Red Sea Pill Sutra is the core dao realm alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Lord. If you weren't a core disciple of the Red Sea Demon Sect, why would the Red Sea Demon Lord teach it to you?"

Xu Ning knew that he couldn't explain any further.

Even if he answered truthfully, Leng Ran would not believe him.

Left without a choice, Xu Ning directly revealed his identity.

"Senior Leng Ran, look at this."

The sect token that Wan Ye had given him appeared in Xu Ning's hand. "Sect token?"

Leng Ran asked, "What about it, why are you showing me this?"

"This is the sect token of the Swallow Heron Sect."

Xu Ning handed it over.

"The Swallow Heron Sect's sect token?"

Leng Ran quickly took it and checked the back of the sect token.

Soon, Leng Ran confirmed the authenticity of this sect token.

"The sect token of the Swallow Heron Sect is obviously on Wan Ye, so why is it in your hands?"

Leng Ran's tone became more and more unfriendly. Xu Ning even heard a hint of murderous intent.

"This sect token was personally handed to me by Senior Wan Ye. He asked me to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

Chapter 238 I'm Not Qualified to Teach Him

"You are saying that this sect token was handed to you by Wan Ye?"

Leng Ran was doubtful.

Xu Ning explained the process of his meeting with Wan Ye to Leng Ran in detail.

Moreover, he talked about many details, including the secrets of the Swallow Heron Sect that Wan Ye had told him before.

"Senior Wan Ye said that the Swallow Heron Sect's treasury is in your hands. He asked me to come and take it from you to rebuild the sect."

Xu Ning explained the situation clearly.

After everything was explained, Leng Ran's expression finally eased.

This was because the details described by Xu Ning were extremely accurate and detailed, and the logic behind everything was completely reasonable. It couldn't be faked.

Moreover, the sect token in his hands was the strongest evidence. "Wan Ye is still alive…"

Leng Ran did not have a close relationship with Wan Ye.

She only knew that after the former sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect, Li Shengmao, gave her the treasury of the Swallow Heron Sect, he told her that the sect token was taken away by Wan Ye.

After Li Shengmao died, Leng Ran had tried to search for Wan Ye.

However, the last piece of news she heard of him was that Wan Ye was being hunted down and had escaped from State Wansheng. She didn't even know if he was dead or alive.

"Wan Ye is alive, and he has chosen a successor in the Abyss North…"

Leng Ran no longer looked at Xu Ning with hostility.

She had misunderstood Xu Ning before, thinking that Xu Ning was a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect.

The Red Sea Demon Sect was unpredictable. If they were targeted and dragged into some kind of trouble, it would be difficult to escape.

This was why Leng Ran was so afraid of Xu

Ning.

But now that she knew that Xu Ning was a member of the Swallow Heron Sect, it meant he was one of them.

"Xu Ning, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to know, you came from the Abyss North, so how did you learn the core dao realm alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon

Lord?"

Leng Ran asked.

"Red Sea Demon Lord left behind a mystic realm inheritance in the Abyss North. I passed the inheritance test, so I obtained the Red Sea Pill Sutra."

Xu Ning spoke the truth.

Xu Ning could sense that Leng Ran was very sensitive to the Red Sea Demon Sect. If he lied to cover up his secrets, it might cause more unnecessary suspicions. "The Red Sea Demon Lord left behind an inheritance in the Abyss North…"

Leng Ran nodded in deep thoughts and looked up at Xu Ning. "You were able to pass his inheritance test, so you are indeed talented. It is reasonable that Wan Ye chose you."

"The Red Sea Demon Lord is unpredictable, but you still have learned the Red Sea Pill Sutra. Didn't he tell you in the mystic realm to join the Red Sea Demon Sect once you arrive at State Wansheng?"

Leng Ran asked again.

"He did."

Xu Ning said, "I obtained a keepsake in the mystic realm. As long as I hold that keepsake, I can join the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"But why didn't you go join the Red Sea Demon Sect, but instead take on the responsibility of rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect? This path is full of obstacles."

Leng Ran asked this because she wanted to solve her doubts and understand Xu Ning's attitude.

"I have already told you before that the reason why I was able to advance to the dao realm was because of Senior Wan Ye's help. Plus, I have already accepted the sect token, so I will naturally not change my mind and join the Red Sea Demon Sect."

"Moreover, the demonic path is not suitable for me."

Xu Ning knew that the demonic path in State Wansheng was not the kind of murderous path that was like the demonic path in the Abyss North. Its position in martial arts was similar to that of miraculous alchemy. It took risks on the road of martial arts cultivation, constantly challenging its limits.

For people who had no talent and were willing to take risks, the pure demonic path was indeed the best path to take, but Xu Ning, who had the Martial Arts Panel, had no need to withstand the backlash from the demonic path.

Xu Ning's answer satisfied Leng Ran.

'This Wan Ye really has a good eye in picking a successor…'

At this moment, Leng Ran had completely acknowledged Xu Ning.

"In this case, I will give you the Swallow Heron Sect's treasury."

A round bead appeared in Leng Ran's hand.

The appearance of the bead reminded Xu Ning of the bead that was finally formed by the Demon Beast Scroll. "This is a spatial secret treasure called the Hidden Moon Bead. It is an independent space that can allow living creatures to enter and leave."

Leng Ran said, "All of the Swallow Heron Sect's foundation is hidden inside."

"Hidden Moon Bead? Living creatures can enter and leave?"

This Hidden Moon Bead was similar to the Demon Beast Scroll.

"When Li Shengmao gave me the Hidden Moon Bead, he told me to wait a hundred years. If Wan Ye can find a suitable successor, I can then hand it over. If not, he will let me deal with the things inside." There was a look of reminiscence in Leng Ran's eyes as well as a hint of sadness.

Xu Ning remembered that Wan Ye had mentioned that Leng Ran had a complicated past with Li Shengmao.

This was one of the reasons why Li Shengmao gave the sect's treasury to Leng Ran. "I have always kept it as a treasure, and with that hundred-year period coming to an end, I thought that Wan Ye had died overseas. I didn't expect you to come." Leng Ran placed the Hidden Moon Bead in Xu Ning's hand. "Now, it's returned to its rightful owner."

After handing the Hidden Moon Bead to Xu Ning, Leng Ran looked relieved.

A very important and heavy burden seemed to have been lifted off her heart.

"Thank you, Senior Leng."

Xu Ning bowed to Leng Ran again.

"Generally speaking, the treasury of ordinary sects is not very rich."

Leng Ran said, "After all, in State Wansheng, where the competition for martial arts is so fierce, maintaining the operation of a sect requires a lot of resources. But the Swallow Heron Sect is different. In the past, the Swallow Heron Sect was a large sect. Its first sect master was a high level master in the seventh stage of the dao realm. After a long period of accumulation, its reserves are relatively abundant."

"You can use the resources in Hidden Moon Bead to complete the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect. However, the prerequisite is that you have to grow quickly. After all, martial arts strength is the foundation here."

Leng Ran encouraged him while also warning him.

"Understood, Senior Leng Ran."

Xu Ning responded. "Oh yeah…"

Leng Ran seemed to remember something. "Did Wan Ye tell you about the plan to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect?"

"Not yet." Xu Ning said, "Senior Wan Ye said that after he was chased away from State Wansheng, he didn't understand the situation in State Wansheng anymore. Thus, he asked me to find you and ask you to guide me."

Leng Ran smiled when she heard his words. She thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Cheng family in State Guqing Guanghe Canton and find Cheng Zengtao." "Cheng Zengtao from Guanghe Canton…"

Xu Ning remembered this place and name. "Senior Leng, he is…"

Xu Ning asked.

"Cheng Zengtao was a core disciple of the Swallow Heron Sect when it was disbanded a hundred years ago. He was also Li Shengmao's personal disciple, and he is loyal to the Swallow Heron Sect to this day. If it weren't for Li Shengmao's strict expulsion, he would have died with Li Shengmao."

Leng Ran said, "Even after the sect was disbanded and after he returned to his hometown, he kept thinking about the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect. Over the past hundred years, he came to me many times to ask if there was any news of the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect, but he always returned disappointed."

"If you had not appeared, I would have decided to give this Hidden Moon Bead to him the next time he comes."

Leng Ran was very certain about Cheng Zengtao.

"After finding Cheng Zengtao, he can help you rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect."

"I see…"

Xu Ning remembered this.

"Senior Leng, now that I have the Hidden Moon Bead, I won't stay for long."

After explaining everything, Xu Ning was ready to bid farewell.

"Wait."

Leng Ran waved her hand and a small table appeared in front of her, filled with paper, ink, and paper. She wrote a letter and handed it to Xu Ning. "Give this to Cheng Zengtao and take out the sect token, then he will know everything."

Xu Ning took the letter from her. Xu Ning was full of thanks for Leng Ran.

"Go ahead."

Leng Ran waved her hand. "If you really have any problems, come find me." Leng Ran made a final promise.

"Senior Leng Ran, farewell."

Xu Ning bowed deeply. "Xuewen."

Leng Ran hollered outside.

Pei Xuewen quickly entered the house upon hearing her summon. "Master…"

Pei Xuewen glanced at Xu Ning secretly.

"Send him out of the Faint Bamboo Forest."

Leng Ran said.

"Yes…"

Pei Xuewen's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, 'Could it be that Xu Ning's aptitude is insufficient, or maybe he is performing poorly? Master is not willing to accept him as a disciple?'

Pei Xuewen was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask.

Thus, she took the initiative to lead Xu Ning out of the room.

After Xu Ning left, Leng Ran suddenly sighed.

'In any case, Xu Ning is involved with a character like the Red Sea Demon Lord. I wonder what kind of changes will happen in the future…'

On the other side, Pei Xuewen sent Xu Ning out of the bamboo forest.

Just as they were about to part, Pei Xuewen stopped Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning, your alchemy aptitude is excellent. Even if you are not accepted as a disciple by Master, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the path of alchemy."

Xu Ning was a little surprised. Pei Xuewen was actually encouraging him. "Thank you very much." Xu Ning cupped his fists and left the bamboo forest.

Soon after Xu Ning left, the second assessment was over.

Ten disciples had passed the second assessment and were selected as in-name disciples of Leng Ran.

Zheng Yiqing, who was with Xu Ning, was quite lucky to pass the assessment.

They were brought to Leng Ran.

"Master, these are this year's in-name disciples."

Pei Xuewen said.

"Gao Zhice, you are here too."

Leng Ran knew Gao Zhice. "Senior Leng."

Gao Zhice bowed respectfully, but his expression was a little unnatural.

"You seem to have something to say?"

Leng Ran noticed that Gao Zhice was hesitant. "Senior Leng, I want to know why you didn't take Xu Ning as your disciple?"

On the way to see Leng Ran, they learned from Pei Xuewen that Xu Ning had been driven away by Leng Ran.

Although Gao Zhice felt that Xu Ning was a strong opponent, he also felt that he should have stayed in the bamboo forest.

Gao Zhice also planned to continue sparring with Xu Ning in the future.

Pei Xuewen frowned. She felt that Gao Zhice was being rude to her master.

She was about to stop him, but then she saw Leng Ran smile and take the initiative to answer. "It's not that I don't want to accept him as a disciple, but I don't have the qualifications to teach him. I will never be able to be on par with the master alchemist behind him."

"What!?"

The room suddenly fell silent.

Gao Zhice was stunned, his eyes full of shock.

Pei Xuewen suddenly realized.

No wonder Xu Ning was so calm before leaving. It was not that his master did not want to accept him, but the master alchemist behind him made Leng Ran feel that she was far inferior.

"Xu Ning…"

Instantly, all the core disciples and in-name disciples in the room remembered this name.

This person was likely to be a famous figure in the future.

Report chapter

Chapter 239 Massive Resources, Second Stage Dao Realm

After Xu Ning left the Faint Bamboo Forest, he found Gray.

According to Leng Ran's advice, he should go to Guanghe Canton and find a person named Cheng Zengtao.

But before that, Xu Ning decided to find a quiet place and enter the Hidden Moon Bead to take a look.

If the conditions allowed, Xu Ning wanted to absorb some of the resources in the Hidden Moon Bead and advance to the second stage dao realm first.

Whether it was Wan Ye or Leng Ran just now, they both told Xu Ning to ensure his martial arts advancement speed.

Only when he became stronger could the Swallow Heron Sect stand firm after rebuilding.

Thus, Xu Ning brought Gray to a desolate mountain on the outskirts.

Xu Ning found a cave and entered it.

"Gray, I'll take a look at the Hidden Moon Bead. Take good care of it."

Xu Ning said to Gray.

At this point, Xu Ning had already dropped his blood into the Hidden Moon Bead and completely refined it.

"Brother, don't worry."

Gray nodded vigorously.

Whether it was the bead formed by the Demon Beast Scroll or the Hidden Moon Bead, after the owner of the secret treasure refined it, he could enter freely and completely hide himself from danger.

However, after entering, the secret treasure would be exposed, so he had to hide it well.

Otherwise, if the enemy discovered it and destroyed the secret treasure from the outside, the secret treasure space would completely collapse and be swept into the space-time turbulence, causing everything inside to be completely annihilated.

Only after handing the mission of protecting the Hidden Moon Bead to Gray, Xu Ning was relieved.

Moving his consciousness, he appeared in the Hidden Moon Bead.

Swoosh!

The scene changed.

Xu Ning felt like he was suddenly in the middle of the night, surrounded by darkness.

He looked up and saw a bright full moon hanging high in the air, scattering silver light, preventing the space from falling into complete darkness.

'It really is a Hidden Moon Bead…' Xu Ning stared at the round moon and thought to himself.

Afterwards, Xu Ning looked around and saw that not far away, there were items piled up like hills.

Xu Ning walked over.

'Is this the Swallow Heron Sect's treasury?'

Xu Ning looked at the large amount of resources in front of him with surprise in his eyes.

The types of resources in front of him were mainly divided into medicinal pills, spirit medicines, dao weapons, and some other special artifacts.

'If these things were exchanged for energy sources of the same price, they would be worth 8 million units of energy! Even just medicinal pills and spirit medicine alone would provide more than 5 million units of energy!'

Xu Ning had a rough estimate of the energy value of the resources here with the examination of the Martial Arts Panel.

'Although the Swallow Heron Sect was at its end when they hid these resources, the amount of resources here far exceeds what I obtained from the Jade Night Sect…'

Xu Ning had looted all of the resources of the Jade Night Sect from Lu Zhanxing, the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect. The total amount was only 400,000 units, with Xu Ning only absorbing 300,000 units. A sect at the end of its twilight years had twenty times the amount of resources of the Jade Night Sect.

'I can't use all of this on myself…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'After all, I still have to preserve a portion of the resources and use it to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect.'

Xu Ning was not a person without principles. He would naturally do what he promised Wan

Ye.

He couldn't abandon the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect for his own selfish reasons.

'However, I am the foundation of the Swallow Heron Sect, so spending more resources on myself is the right choice. Once my strength improves, I can also nurture the Swallow Heron Sect.'

Xu Ning thought clearly.

"The resources in this Hidden Moon Bead should be enough for me to advance to the fourth stage of the dao realm and become a mid level dao realm master.'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Now I will absorb a portion of the energy and advance my strength to the second stage dao realm. And after finding suitable attribute true origins, I will use the resources here to advance to the third stage dao realm.'

After advancing to the astral qi realm, if he wanted to advance to the origin returnance realm, he had to find enough attribute true origins.

Xu Ning had condensed six attribute seeds, three water and three fire seeds, which meant that Xu Ning had to find three water and three fire attribute true origins each.

Only after gathering six attribute true origins, Xu Ning could use energy again to advance.

Afterwards, Xu Ning began to absorb energy from the small mountain of pills.

A notification appeared in Xu Ning's eyes and ears.

'When I advanced the Red Sea Pill Sutra to the first level, I consumed 100,000 units of energy, so I still have 350,000 units of energy left. I'm still 550,000 units of energy away from reaching the astral qi realm.' Xu Ning had to absorb another 550,000 units of energy in order to advance to the astral qi realm.

Time flew by.

Xu Ning soon absorbed 550,000 units of energy.

"This is enough to advance to the astral qi realm!'

Xu Ning was overjoyed. 'Next, I should leave the Hidden Moon Bead and advance.'

The reason why he wanted to advance in the outside world was because the Hidden Moon Bead was an independent space with almost no spiritual energy.

If he broke through here, he would need to absorb a huge amount of spiritual energy to advance. If he advanced in a place with no spiritual energy, he would become a dried-up shrimp, and he would also be seriously injured during his advancement.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning moved his body out of the Hidden Moon Bead.

"Brother, you're out?"

Gray quickly appeared and leaned over.

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded. "I'm ready to advance to the astral qi realm."

"Brother is going to advance again?"

Gray's eyes were full of worship. In Gray's eyes, Xu Ning was a powerful brother.

Gray felt that Xu Ning would always break through every now and then.

His breakthrough was like the process of a person's growth. It came naturally.

There was no awkwardness unlike when other martial arts masters were stuck in a realm.

"Don't be lazy all day. You have to find a way to stimulate your bloodline and advance to the dao realm as soon as possible."

Before Xu Ning advanced, he didn't forget to beat some motivation into Gray.

Hearing this, Gray rolled its eyes.

Xu Ning ignored it and opened the Martial Arts Panel. He pressed on the '' sign next to the realm.

Consume 900,000 units of energy to advance your realm?

Yes / No

"Yes!"

After confirming this, Xu Ning felt that his powerful body from the body smelting realm had begun to strengthen again.

The surging spiritual energy was absorbed into Xu Ning's body in a vortex shape.

Such turbulent spiritual energy!'

The amount of spiritual energy that surged into his body shocked even Xu Ning.

The stronger a person's foundation was, the more spiritual energy they would have to absorb to advance their realm.

'If I were in the Abyss North, I might not have been able to successfully advance…'

The spiritual energy in the Abyss North was thin. If Xu Ning really tried to break through there, even if he succeeded, he would definitely be injured, which would affect his foundation.

"The power of the dao realm is changing…'

Xu Ning felt that the dao realm power in his body was rapidly changing.

'In the future, I can activate my astral qi with my dao realm power!'

The pleasure of breaking through made Xu Ning feel relaxed.

Whoosh!

Finally, Xu Ning felt his blood boiling, and his dao realm power surged. 'Second stage dao realm, astral qi realm, done!'

Xu Ning looked at the Martial Arts Panel.

Name: Xu Ning Stage: Dao Realm Second Stage: Astral Qi Realm

Martial Arts:

Available Energy: 0 units

The Martial Arts Panel had been refreshed.

"There is no '' next to the astral qi realm. This shows that I have to find six attribute true origins first before I can advance to the origin returnance realm.'

As for obtaining the attribute true origins, Xu Ning didn't think this was a big challenge.

In a place like State Wansheng, where martial arts resources were abundant, attribute true origins could be obtained through trading.

This was the advantage of living in a top-notch martial arts environment.

Xu Ning walked out of the cave and activated his dao realm power.

Whoosh!

A gust of astral qi flew hundreds of meters away, cutting a giant rock in half, causing it to roll down the mountain.

'Is this the power of astral qi?'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up. If he held a dao weapon, his astral qi could be even more powerful. 'It is said that some powerful mid level dao realm masters can match the power of a dao weapon with their pure astral qi. And high level dao realm masters can even destroy a dao weapon with their astral qi.'

After experiencing the power of astral qi, Xu Ning was satisfied.

For an astral qi master with abundant dao realm power like him, he could use a huge amount of astral qi to execute the violent attack method of "astral qi rain".

The more he advanced, the advantage of his incomparably strong foundation was displayed.

'With my current strength, with the help of the Cyan Wolf Blade and the Wind Smoke Gourd, I can even defeat an origin returnance realm master!

Xu Ning had a new understanding of his strength. "Brother is amazing!"

Gray jumped onto Xu Ning's shoulder.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in State Wansheng is very beneficial to the advancement of your bloodline, don't waste it."

Xu Ning said, "After we settle down, we will release Cyan and Xu Hujun from the Demon Beast Scroll and let them enjoy the rich spiritual energy of State Wansheng."

Xu Ning's expectation for Gray, Cyan, and Xu Hujun was for them to break through to the dao realm quickly. In this way, they would also become the helpers of the Swallow Heron Sect.

"Okay, Gray, get ready to go."

Xu Ning said, "Next, we will go to Guanghe Canton to find Senior Brother Cheng Zengtao."

Guanghe Canton, Liuyan County.

Liuyan County was the core county of Guanghe Canton. The canton governor and other officials of the Imperial Court were all here.

This county city was larger than State Jifeng of the Abyss North.

Because Liu Yan County was a core county, there were many big families with the influence of a canton here. Cheng Zengtao, whom Xu Ning was going to find, was backed by the Cheng family, which was a well-known family in Liuyan County and even Guanghe Canton.

There were many people in his family who held official positions in the Imperial Court and their status was also extremely high.

'Guanghe Canton, Liuyan County…'

Xu Ning finally arrived with Gray after a wind-beaten journey.

'Let's go into the city and find out where the Cheng family is…'

Afterwards, Xu Ning followed the crowd and entered the county city.

Chapter 240 Start Rebuilding

After asking around, Xu Ning finally found the Cheng family.

"May I ask if Cheng Zengtao is in the mansion?"

Xu Ning came to the Cheng family mansion. "You are finding Elder Cheng Zengtao?"

The Cheng family guard glanced at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning did not deliberately hide his aura, so the guard easily noticed that Xu Ning was a martial arts master.

"May I ask who you are?"

The guard was very polite.

"Just say that I'm from the Faint Bamboo Forest."

Xu Ning obviously wouldn't tell the guard his real intentions.

"Please wait a moment."

The guard quickly reported.

Soon after, the guard walked out with a middle-aged man.

'Third stage dao realm, origin returnance master…'

Xu Ning sensed the strength of the middle-aged man.

"I am Cheng Zengtao."

When Cheng Zengtao heard that the people from the Faint Bamboo Forest were visiting, he put down his work and took the initiative to welcome them.

Cheng Zengtao knew the significance of the Faint Bamboo Forest to the Swallow Heron Sect, so when he heard that her people were coming, he naturally didn't dare to delay.

After expressing his identity, Cheng Zengtao glanced at Xu Ning first, then noticed Gray on Xu Ning's shoulder.

Although he did not confirm that it was a void beast immediately, he did notice that Gray was not an ordinary demon beast. Its bloodline was not inferior at all.

"Are you from the Faint Bamboo Forest? Why do you look unfamiliar?" Cheng Zengtao looked away from Gray and asked.

He had always regarded rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect as an important matter, and because of this, he had visited Leng Ran many times in the bamboo forest.

Therefore, he remembered all the important people in the Faint Bamboo Forest.

But Cheng Zengtao had never seen Xu Ning before, so he was a little suspicious.

Xu Ning smiled when he heard this. A black token suddenly appeared in his hand.

As soon as it was revealed, the black token was put back into Xu Ning's sleeve.

Although he only showed it briefly, Cheng Zengtao still saw the appearance of the token.

'Sect token!'

Cheng Zengtao's heart was in turmoil.

"Please come in!"

Cheng Zengtao calmed down and took the initiative to lead Xu Ning into his study.

After entering the study, Cheng Zengtao made some arrangements to ensure that no one would disturb their conversation.

"Are you holding a sect token?"

Cheng Zengtao stared at Xu Ning.

"Yes."

Xu Ning took out the sect token and handed it to Cheng Zengtao. After Cheng Zengtao carefully took it, he gently rubbed it and confirmed that the sect token belonged to the Swallow Heron Sect.

"The Swallow Heron Sect!"

Cheng Zengtao looked excited. "Who are you exactly, and why is the sect token of the Swallow Heron Sect in your hands?"

He knew that Wan Ye had fled State Wansheng with the sect token.

Over the years, he had been worried about Wan Ye's safety. "My name is Xu Ning, and this sect token was personally handed to me by Senior Wan Ye."

Xu Ning said slowly.

Cheng Zengtao's eyes trembled as he sized up at Xu Ning "Are you serious?"

Cheng Zengtao knew the significance of this action.

If what Xu Ning said was true, then Xu Ning was the new sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect selected by Wan Ye.

Xu Ning did not explain. He took out Leng Ran's letter and handed it to Cheng Zengtao.

"Senior Leng Ran…"

Cheng Zengtao sensed the mark Leng Ran had left on the letter.

This showed that this letter was written by Leng Ran.

Cheng Zengtao opened the letter and quickly read it.

Although Xu Ning didn't know what was written in the letter, he could roughly guess that the contents were Leng Ran's credentials for him.

The sect token and Leng Ran's letter were enough for Cheng Zengtao to trust his identity.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, Cheng Zengtao looked at Xu Ning differently.

He faced Xu Ning with a respectful gaze and bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Cheng Zengtao had officially recognized Xu Ning as the sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect.

In Leng Ran's letter, Cheng Zengtao learned about Xu Ning's identity.

"Senior Brother Cheng, there is no need to be so polite."

Xu Ning quickly grabbed Cheng Zengtao's arm.

He also knew that in the process of rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect, Cheng Zengtao would become his right-hand man.

"Sect Master, I have been waiting a hundred years for this day…"

Cheng Zengtao's voice was trembling.

The scene before the collapse of the Swallow Heron Sect quickly flashed in his mind.

The painful memories of the disbandment of the sect and the death of his master still lingered in his mind.

"In the future, if Sect Master needs anything, just tell me."

Cheng Zengtao expressed his stance. "Senior Brother Cheng, you don't have to be so polite."

Xu Ning said, "According to Senior Leng Ran's guidance, I should be the one to listen to you. After all, I am not from State Wansheng, and I have no experience in forming a sect. If I want to restore the glory of the Swallow Heron Sect, some things have to be done by Senior Brother Cheng." After chatting for a while, both sides acknowledged each other.

Both Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao had established a stable trust between the two sides through Leng Ran's letter.

"Now that we have the sect token, what is Sect Master's first step?"

Cheng Zengtao began to ask. He couldn't wait to rebuild the sect.

"I have no idea, but since we are going to pass on the sect, the disciples of the sect must be the foundation."

Xu Ning said, "Before I came to State Wansheng, Senior Wan Ye told me not to be too hasty in the beginning stages and to not make a fuss."

Cheng Zengtao nodded thoughtfully.

"Sect Master, in fact, after the sect was forced to disband back then, there were still some disciples I kept in contact with."

After a pause, Cheng Zengtao said, "These disciples still have old ties with the Swallow Heron Sect, and many of them have expressed their wish for me to lead and rebuild the sect." "Oh?"

Xu Ning's eyes lit up. "Can we gather these people again?"

In Xu Ning's opinion, if the loyal old members of the Swallow Heron Sect could gather again, then the rebuilding of the sect could immediately begin.

"Of course."

Cheng Zengtao gave Xu Ning an affirmative answer. "If Sect Master allows it, I will handle this matter. I will send out the news today and let those people come to the Cheng family."

"Okay."

Xu Ning nodded. "Sect Master, not only must there be people in the sect, but there must also be a sect."

Cheng Zengtao said again, "It's just that our old location has been occupied by other sects. If we take the initiative to take it back now, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect."

The Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were the enemies that forced the Swallow Heron Sect to collapse.

Xu Ning could hear Cheng Zengtao's hatred for the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.

"Just before the sect was destroyed, the people from the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect pressured us too much. In order to protect us disciples from being implicated, Master took the initiative to disband the sect and took revenge on the two sects with his own body. In the end, he died." Cheng Zengtao said, "Elder Wan Ye also wanted to take revenge for Master, but he was also hunted down after failing. Some of the core disciples of our sect were also targeted by the two sects. If it weren't for Senior Leng Ran and the elders of my Cheng family, we might have been killed."

"With these two sects around, we have to act cautiously and secretly strengthen the Swallow Heron Sect." "Do you have a location in mind for the sect?"

Xu Ning asked.

"If Sect Master doesn't mind, the location of the sect will be temporarily set at a villa outside Liuyan County. That villa is the property of the Cheng family, and it has not been officially used yet. There are only some servants taking care of it."

Cheng Zengtao said.

"In that case, the location of our sect will be there temporarily."

Xu Ning agreed.

Just like Leng Ran said, with Cheng Zengtao's help, rebuilding the sect would be much easier.

"Sect Master…"

After finalizing the two important matters, Cheng Zengtao hesitated.

"Senior Brother Cheng, just say what you want to say."

Xu Ning was straightforward.

"Sect Master, you were given a sect token by Elder Wan Ye, so you must have excellent martial arts talent."

Cheng Zengtao carefully chose his words. "To rebuild the sect, your strength is the core… Only after you advance to the core materialization realm will we be qualified to stand tall and let the Swallow Heron Sect stand under the sun again, without fear of the threats and suppression of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect…"

"I know what you mean."

Before Cheng Zengtao could finish speaking, Xu Ning interrupted him.

Cheng Zengtao was beating around the bush because he wanted to understand his martial arts talent.

"You should also notice that I am a dao realm second stage astral qi realm master."

Xu Ning said, "Half a year ago, when I first met Senior Wan Ye, I had just condensed six attribute seeds and was still a true domain realm martial artist at that time."

"What!?"

Cheng Zengtao felt blood rushing to his head.

For Cheng Zengtao, it was unheard of for a true domain realm martial artist to advance from the second stage to the dao realm in just half a year.

After advancing to the dao realm, the difficulty of advancing each realm increases sharply.

Take Cheng Zengtao as an example. He was once the top genius of the Swallow Heron Sect, but this was how he was now. He had been practicing martial arts for a hundred and fifty years, and he had just broken through to the origin returnance realm not long ago.

But Xu Ning had advanced two realms in half a year, which made Cheng Zengtao feel surreal.

"Sect Master, are you serious?"

Cheng Zengtao couldn't believe it.

Because this completely exceeded his understanding.

Even for the imperial princes and princesses, not many of them could do this.

"I am."

Xu Ning gave Cheng Zengtao an affirmative reply.

Cheng Zengtao pursed his lips. With the current exchanges he had with Xu Ning, Cheng Zengtao felt that Xu Ning was not an arrogant person. Moreover, there was no need to lie to him. 'Is this why Elder Wan Ye chose him as the sect master?'

Cheng Zengtao gradually got out of his shock and replaced it with expectations for the future of the Swallow Heron Sect.

"I hope Sect Master can advance to the core materialization realm as soon as possible and restore the glory of the Swallow Heron Sect!"

Cheng Zengtao said to Xu Ning seriously.

Xu Ning nodded. "I will not disappoint you."

"Sect Master, you don't have a residence right now, so you should temporarily stay in the mansion. After gathering those loyal disciples, we will move to the villa on the outskirts."

Cheng Zengtao calmed down and said to Xu Ning

"In that case, I would have to bother you."

Xu Ning did not hesitate.

Xu Ning was also trying to adapt to his new identity.

The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect had begun.
