"What's that? A sky lantern—"
Outside the thatched hut, Xu Ning stood barefoot with his hands behind his back, looking up at the lantern in the distance with wide eyes, completely bewildered!
The Sky Lantern was a treasure-level magical artifact jointly crafted by various sects in the Red Sea Mountains; it was also commonly known as a magic weapon.
The purpose of crafting this magical artifact was to deal with unforeseen dangers.
Once the entire Red Sea Mountain Range faced a life-or-death crisis, the Sky Lanterns would be lit.
If so cultivators did not wish to stay, they could leave the Crimson Sea Mountains after seeing the sky lanterns light up.
Those cultivators who remained would receive the buff from the Heavenly Lantern, which would amplify their spiritual power and enhance the power of their spells.
Damn it, they even said they'd train a cheap master and henchn to protect them for hundreds of years!
As it turned out, just as I gave the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill to my master, the sect was about to be destroyed!
I wonder what Master will think when he returns from seclusion and sees the sect in ruins!
Never mind that, let's settle things at Xuanzhi Peak first, then get out of here quickly.
He took out the peak master's token that his master had left behind, and infused it with spiritual power. Instantly, a terrifying wave enveloped the entire Xuanzhi Peak.
"All disciples of Xuanzhi Peak, proceed to Xuanzhi Hall."
After giving the order, Xu Ning went back to his thatched hut to put on his shoes and then headed to the Xuanzhi Hall.
Everyone saw the sky lanterns and knew the situation was special, so they all rushed to Xuanzhi Peak imdiately.
Third Senior Brother Yao Shuyu, Fourth Senior Sister Hua Ziyao, and Fifth Senior Sister Yin Qingli were all in the sect and were the first to arrive.
After Xu Ning arrived, he quickly greeted them: "Senior brothers and sisters are all here!"
Yao Shuyu and Hua Ziyao nodded slightly to Xu Ning.
Yin Qingli then asked with great interest, "Sixth Junior Brother, how did Master give you the Peak Master's token?"
Xu Ning: "It's a long story. Master once made a bet with my junior brother. If he lost, he would pass the position of peak master to ! In the end, Master lost!"
Yin Qingli and the others were all suspicious upon hearing this, their faces full of disbelief.
Xu Ning: "Before Master left, he gave the Peak Master's token and asked to manage Xuanzhi Peak well."
Yin Qingli muttered, "Why wasn't it given to Third Senior Brother?"
Yao Shuyu hurriedly said, "Master talked to about this. He said I'm not suitable and he trusts Sixth Brother to handle it. He told not to overthink it!"
Hua Ziyao: "Sixth Junior Brother, the sky lanterns are lit. Is there sothing you want to discuss with us?"
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Xu Ning: "It's like this, the lighting of the sky lanterns ans that the sect has reached a critical mont of life and death. In order to fulfill Master's last arrangents, I need to ensure your safety!"
Hua Ziyao laughed after hearing this: "Junior brother, your cultivation is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, the lowest among us. I think you should think about your own safety first. I'm afraid you can't take care of us!"
Xu Ning did not refute, and nodded, saying, "I really can't take care of all the senior brothers and sisters. I'll just give everyone a suggestion. Whether the senior brothers and sisters listen or not is your business. Anyway, I've done my duty."
If it weren't for his master's instructions, Xu Ning would probably have run away by now, and wouldn't be arguing with them anymore!
Yao Shuyu: "Junior brother, please speak freely!"
Xu Ning: "Here's what we'll do. Senior brothers and sisters, apply to go out for training, and each of you take so miscellaneous disciples with you. After a while, if the sect is still around, you can co back. If it's not, you don't need to co back!"
Hua Ziyao: "Junior brother, if the sect ends up with nothing, how will we have the face to co back?"
Xu Ning: "Fourth Senior Sister, is your life more important, or your reputation?"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this; it was indeed true.
The battle involving lighting sky lanterns would be extrely terrifying, with battles between Golden Core cultivators being commonplace.
There might even be a major battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, at which point those with their cultivation levels wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftershocks.
In the end, the group unanimously agreed with Xu Ning's plan and nodded in agreent. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
After discussing it, Yao Shuyu and Hua Ziyao went together to lead the servant disciples away.
Yin Qingli, however, did not leave.
Xu Ning asked in surprise, "Fifth Senior Sister! Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Yin Qingli: "Junior brother, if I rember correctly, you know how to refine pills, right?"
Xu Ning nodded: "Senior Sister knows this!"
Yin Qingli: "What level is your alchemy skill?"
Speaking of this, Xu Ning imdiately revealed his pride: "Senior sister, your junior brother is not very talented, but he has already reached the first-level low grade!"
"Then junior brother, please help..." Yin Qingli paused, then said, "Wait, isn't first-grade low-level alchemy just the entry level? Hey, how did you manage to say that with the tone of a master alchemist?"
Xu Ning imdiately retorted, "Senior sister, that's a bit disrespectful of ! Do you know how many years it took Master to beco a disciple?"
Yin Qingli opened her mouth, wanting to say it was because her master was a bad cook! But she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Xu Ning: "Senior sister, if there's nothing else, I'll go back and pack my things!"
With that, Xu Ning walked directly out of the hall.
"Wait for !" Yin Qingli quickly followed after him.
Walking down the street, seeing that Xu Ning wasn't waiting for her, Yin Qingli quickly ran ahead of Xu Ning, then her leg twisted: "Ah~~ I fell down!"
Xu Ning quickly dodged when he saw this.
Bang--
Yin Qingli fell to the ground, glaring at Xu Ning through gritted teeth: "Why didn't you help up?"
Xu Ning nodded quickly: "Senior Sister, I admire you, and I dare say that no one on the entire Xuanzhi Peak disagrees with you!"
Yin Qingli: "Ah! Xu Ning, you bastard! I've done all this, and you still don't understand romance?"
Xu Ning: "Ah! I don't know what Senior Sister is talking about!"
After saying that, he quickly quickened his pace and left.
"Xu Ning, you bastard!" ca Yin Qingli's scream from behind.
After walking quite a distance, Xu Ning couldn't help but pat his chest and breathe a sigh of relief: "Damn, who would believe that a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining would fall down while walking!"
A voice ca from Xu Ning's clothes: "Xu Ning, it's obvious that the other person likes you!"
Xu Ning shook his head: "You don't know anything. My master said that anyone who gets close to has an ulterior motive."
"I think Fifth Senior Sister is just after my Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation. Haven't you heard? If a cultivator gets married and then divorces, half of their cultivation will be taken away!"
"If she succeeds, she mustn't take away my Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation!"
Clothes: "How co I've never heard of such a saying? And is half of one's cultivation level calculated like this?"
Xu Ning: "You're too young, you don't understand, this is an adult matter!"
Clothes: "I doubt you're capable!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his chin: "I've upgraded three sets of mortal-grade divine-quality clothes in total, and I only need to upgrade one more set. I'm thinking now! Which set should I upgrade?"
Clothing: "No! Xu Ning, all three upgraded sets are still useful!"
Xu Ning: "Don't be like that, I still prefer your unruly self just now!"
