Late-coming kindness is cheap as grass, I don't need it! Humph!
After packing up his belongings, Xu Ning returned to his thatched hut and began refining pills, then practicing the Soul Refining Technique, the Nine Forms of Divine Inquiry, and finally cultivating.
Before he knew it, it was the next day, and Miao Yunyi ca over again.
After leaving the thatched hut, Xu Ning quickly took out the lanterns and other items.
However, Miao Yunyi did not speak, but stared at Xu Ning, looking him up and down.
Xu Ning was startled: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much!" Miao Yunyi said casually, then continued to stare at Xu Ning, looking him up and down.
Xu Ning felt uneasy under his gaze: "Master, just say what's on your mind! You're making very nervous!"
After hearing this, Miao Yunyi straightened up and said, "You said that you encountered the cave of a senior cultivator when you went out a few days ago, right?"
Xu Ning nodded: "That's right, Master!"
Miao Yunyi: "Is there a great treasure erging from that cave?"
Xu Ning shook his head: "No!"
Miao Yunyi glared: "You even lied to ? Back then, because of the precious treasure, a lightning tribulation was even brought down?"
Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Good heavens, his identity has been exposed!
However, he couldn't admit to such a thing even if he were beaten to death, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Master, I only found that top-grade Qi Condensation Pill in that cave, and nothing else!"
Miao Yunyi stroked his chin and looked at Xu Ning: "Really?"
Xu Ning nodded repeatedly: "It's even more genuine than returning to simplicity!"
Miao Yunyi: "But I heard that a few days ago a cultivator obtained a tribulation-crossing treasure and killed dozens of cultivators with his Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation."
"Among them were inner disciples of the Ling Shan Sect at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and even an inner disciple of the Moon Demon Sect at the twelfth level of Qi Refining was almost killed by him!"
Xu Ning was speechless. This was exactly what they were talking about, but he certainly couldn't admit it. He quickly put on an amazed expression and said, "Wow! This person is too strong. If I t him, I would definitely beco his apprentice!"
Miao Yunyi glared: "Believe it or not, I'll slap you so hard you'll go see him!"
Xu Ning: "No, I was just joking, Master. But what does all this have to do with ? I'm at the sixth level of Qi Refining. I wouldn't even glance at soone at the fourth level of Qi Refining!"
Miao Yunyi didn't answer, but suddenly asked, "My dear disciple, how is your Rain Sword practice going?"
Xu Ning imdiately beca proud: "Master, your disciple has already reached the Great Perfection of cultivation. I'm not bragging, but in the entire Tianbao Sect, apart from you, Master, if I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first!"
Miao Yunyi nodded: "Then you demonstrate for your teacher!"
"Alright!" Xu Ning exclaid excitedly, quickly raising his hand to form a hand seal!
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit for the authentic version.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a light rain began to fall!
"Master, I'm not bragging, but I've mastered the Cloud and Rain Technique!" Xu Ning said proudly.
Miao Yunyi frowned as he watched: "Your Cloud and Rain Technique is weak and feeble. It's fine for watering and planting spiritual herbs, but it doesn't et the standards of a Rain Sword!"
Xu Ning retorted, "Then watch closely, Rain Sword, condense for !"
As a result, nothing happened for half a day.
Xu Ning's face showed resentnt, and he quickly made a hand seal again: "Condense for !"
"Condense!"
"Condense it for !"
Xu Ning kept making hand seals, but the sky remained completely still!
Miao Yunyi was speechless. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Disciple, stop, stop!"
Xu Ning then stopped and said proudly, "Master, how about it? Just give two more hours, and I will definitely be able to condense the Rain Sword!"
Miao Yunyi was speechless, then annoyed: "Shut up! Disciple, you've been practicing this Rain Sword for four or five years now, haven't you? Even a pig would have at least mastered the basics, right?"
"But you can't even pass the Cloud Rain Technique! You've disappointed your master greatly!"
Xu Ning lowered his head, saying, "Master, it's all my fault for being too dull!"
Miao Yunyi waved his hand, then sighed: "Hey, I heard a rumor yesterday that a great treasure appeared a few days ago, which triggered a lightning tribulation. A cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining was the first to discover it, and dozens of other cultivators went to snatch it!"
"As a result, they were all killed by that Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator. In the end, only one inner disciple of the Moon Demon Sect survived, but he was severely injured and lost all his cultivation!"
"The inner disciples of the Moon Demon Sect said that the most distinctive feature of the other party was the Rain Sword Technique. At first, I thought it was you, since you happened to be out of the sect those few days!"
Xu Ning shook his head: "Master, not your disciple!"
Miao Yunyi sighed, a hint of disappointnt flashing in his eyes: "I thought I had soone to carry on my legacy!"
"Master, will the Lingshan Sect co to Tianbao Sect to cause trouble? After all, an inner disciple died." This was actually what Xu Ning was most concerned about!
Inner disciples are far too important to a sect. After all, it takes so many resources, costs, and a lot of ti to train one. If one of them dies like this, the sect will definitely be unwilling!
Miao Yunyi: "Don't worry, when disciples are out there, injuries and deaths from fights are inevitable. It's not like we're going to the other sect to kill! If we're not as skilled, why would they have the nerve to co looking for trouble?"
"However, those disciples at the fourth level of Qi Refining need to be careful. If they can't do it openly, they'll resort to underhanded tactics! Their masters and fellow disciples certainly won't let this go easily!"
Xu Ning looked up at the sky: "Then it has nothing to do with !"
Miao Yunyi didn't speak, but stared at Xu Ning, looking at him again and again, his guesses constantly shifting in his mind!
Xu Ning sensed sothing was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "Master, let's quickly refine the formation!"
Today was destined to be another day of being bombarded with criticism.
This was not the end, but just the beginning. For a whole month, Xu Ning spent every day being scolded.
However, it's impossible to be criticized for nothing for a month; the effect is quite significant.
On this day, Xu Ning finally crafted his first array.
Both the master and apprentice were very happy about this.
"My disciple, very good! You've mastered the basics in just one month!" Miao Yunyi couldn't help but praise.
Xu Ning: "Thanks to my master's excellent teaching!"
Miao Yunyi nodded: "Of course! From now on, you should practice hard!"
Xu Ning nodded earnestly: "Yes, Master!"
Miao Yunyi: "Disciple, I'm going into seclusion to form my core next."
Xu Ning was taken aback: "How long is Master going into seclusion?"
Miao Yunyi: "It could take anywhere from a few months to one or two years!"
Xu Ning: "So long?"
Miao Yunyi nodded: "Yes, after I leave, I will entrust the managent of Xuanzhi Peak to you!"
Xu Ning asked in surprise, "Master, aren't you in seclusion at the sect?"
Miao Yunyi shook his head: "No, the sect may seem peaceful on the surface, but in reality, there are frequent undercurrents of infighting. I cannot gamble."
Xu Ning sighed, "Alright then! Master, head back soon!"
Miao Yunyi stood up and tossed a token to Xu Ning: "This is the Peak Master's token. I have already spoken with your senior brothers and sisters. Xuanzhi Peak is entrusted to you for managent. Don't disappoint your master!"
Xu Ning nodded vigorously: "I will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"
Miao Yunyi left quietly, and out of caution, he didn't even let any of his disciples see him off.
Xuanzhi Peak has returned to tranquility.
But that night, a giant lantern suddenly rose into the night sky.
In an instant, all the sects in the entire Crimson Sea Mountain Range were in an uproar!
Xu Ning was even more distraught upon seeing this.
