Qian Yang smiled. "Holy Son, we often reminisce about the days of fighting and killing. Compared to that, the Tiancheng Sect has given us protection and peace of mind. It's a world of difference."
"We've always known that we are where we are today thanks to the Holy Son. Thank you again for taking us in back then!"
Xu Ning raised his glass. "To the right choice we made back then!"
Tonight, Xu Ning drank freely. Here, he felt more at ease.
But Xu Ning knew he couldn't stay here long. There were still many things he couldn't do at the Tiancheng Sect.
Early the next morning, Qi Ruifeng arrived, bringing a large number of cultivation techniques and incantations.
After putting them away, Xu Ning looked at his master, Qi Ruifeng. "Master, I don't have much life left. I need to give it my all! Either I'll return as a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, or I'll never return to the Tiancheng Sect!"
Qi Ruifeng looked at Xu Ning with complicated emotions and nodded gently. "Go ahead and do it. But I must remind you, if sothing is impossible, don't force it!"
Xu Ning nodded. "Yes, Master!"
After saying goodbye, Xu Ning left the Tiancheng Sect and entered the Tianbao Sect as a mortal, becoming a nial disciple.
Everything seed to have returned to when he first entered the cultivation world and beca a nial disciple.
However, although the situation was similar to before, the environnt and the people had completely changed.
Whether by coincidence or not, Xu Ning was once again assigned to the Fifth Planting Area.
Standing in the thatched hut, Xu Ning looked at the spirit fields outside the window with complicated emotions.
When he first ca to the cultivation world, he lived in constant fear in the Fifth Planting Area.
Now it was different. Compared to before, with his cultivation and confidence, he was already in control.
He wondered how his master had been all these years.
Xu Ning subconsciously took out the communication talisman he used to contact his master.
However, Xu Ning didn't send a ssage. More than 140 years had passed since he beca Miao Yunyi's disciple. He couldn't reveal that he was still alive. No Qi Refining stage cultivator could live that long.
So, for about forty or fifty years, Xu Ning stopped replying to Miao Yunyi's ssages.
However, in the anti, Miao Yunyi had left Xu Ning many ssages.
Miao Yunyi: "Disciple, are you there?"
"Disciple, are you there?"
"Disciple, I told you, this path is blocked, but you didn't believe ! You'd rather exhaust your lifespan than settle for Foundation Establishnt? You've really disappointed your master!"
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringent.
"Disciple, are you really dead? You rebellious disciple!"
"Disciple, Liu Yong's lifespan has run out. He's gone!"
"Disciple, your third senior brother has fallen in the war against the demon race. Your master is so sad. Why do you all leave one after another when you're all younger than ?"
"Disciple, your fifth senior sister hasn't returned to the sect for many years! I'm so afraid sothing has happened to her!"
"Disciple, the Tianbao Sect has recovered to its forr glory. If you successfully establish your foundation, co back! I'll leave the best mountain peak for you!"
"Disciple, your fourth senior sister is gone. I don't want to take on any more disciples. I'm going into seclusion. If you co back before I erge, I'm afraid no one in the sect will recognize you!"
Xu Ning didn't know how many tis he had read these ssages. Every ti he saw them, he felt a tightness in his chest.
However, he couldn't reply. He couldn't explain it clearly, fearing the news would leak and cause serious problems.
Putting everything out of his mind, Xu Ning sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the cultivation manuals and incantations given to him by Qi Ruifeng, and began to study them.
For the next period, Xu Ning stayed temporarily at the Tianbao Sect.
He would try to plant as many spiritual herbs as possible to accumulate contribution points.
Sotis, he would take on so tasks to gain more contribution points.
At this ti, Xu Ning truly resembled a sect's nial disciple.
As ti went on, Xu Ning would choose to reveal his cultivation level and participate in sect activities to earn a large number of contribution points as rewards.
Along the way, once he had enough contribution points, Xu Ning would exchange them for cultivation manuals and incantations.
In the blink of an eye, five years passed.
On this day, Xu Ning exchanged for another cultivation manual.
Returning to his thatched hut, Xu Ning couldn't wait to read it.
As he finished turning the last page of the manual, all the information about the cultivation manuals and incantations in Xu Ning's mind suddenly rged, and then suddenly beca profound.
Bang bang bang—
The breakthrough in martial arts techniques brought about the first change. Xu Ning's martial arts cultivation broke through again, and his body was elevated to an extrely terrifying level.
According to Xu Ning's calculations, even without using his cultivation, he could now withstand most of the spells from Foundation Establishnt cultivators, and even so spells from ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivators.
Next ca the changes in the Blood Demon Technique and the Spirit Origin Technique, both advancing to the seventeenth level.
Various spells also received a great improvent. Take the Cloud and Rain Technique, for example. It already possessed offensive power. Even without releasing the Rain Sword, the rain from the Cloud and Rain Technique could easily pierce through the bodies of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.
The Rain Sword's improvent was the greatest. A single strike could easily kill an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Originally, Xu Ning was thinking of leaving, but he suddenly heard about the sect's grand competition.
After thinking about it, Xu Ning chose to stay temporarily. He wanted to see if he could see his master and so old friends.
Five days later, the sect's grand competition began.
Xu Ning followed the crowd of servants to the sect square.
Elders with cultivation levels above Foundation Establishnt from various sects flew across the sky.
Xu Ning looked up, hoping to see a familiar figure.
He hadn't held out much hope, but then Wang Ergou flew by and landed on the elder's seat.
Xu Ning continued to gaze at the sky, hoping for Li Yun's appearance.
However, Li Yun never appeared. The outco was obvious: either he was in seclusion or he had perished.
It was unexpected that the three of them had co to the Tianbao Sect together, with Xu Ning leaving first.
Li Yun was steady and reliable, while Wang Ergou was sowhat cunning and opportunistic.
Yet, in the end, it was Wang Ergou who survived.
Xu Ning sighed, about to turn and leave.
But then, another figure appeared in the sky.
Glancing at it out of the corner of his eye, Xu Ning felt a sense of familiarity and quickly turned to look. He imdiately saw his master, Miao Yunyi, flying past and landing directly on the sect leader's seat.
At that mont, Xu Ning felt a sense of satisfaction.
Of all the sects, why had he chosen to enter the Tianbao Sect to collect cultivation techniques? Xu Ning was also hoping to catch a glimpse of his master, Miao Yunyi. Just seeing him would make the trip worthwhile.
Originally, Xu Ning planned to leave, but after his master Miao Yunyi appeared, he didn't rush off. Instead, he stayed to watch the entire sect competition. His purpose, of course, was to see his master as much as possible.
After all, who knew when he would see him again?
After the competition ended, Xu Ning packed his things and quietly left, heading towards the mortal realm.
