Watching Miao Yunyi's departing figure, Xu Ning couldn't help but smile slightly. "That old man is still as fun as before!"
The thatched hut then spoke up. "Could it be that he's only like this with you?"
Xu Ning said, "Perhaps! Besides spending ti with Master Qi Ruifeng, I should also spend more ti with him! Once I leave, we probably won't see each other again!"
Xu Ning absolutely wouldn't allow the news of his extended lifespan to leak out. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
After all, for cultivators, increasing lifespan goes against the natural order, so it's extrely difficult to do so. Therefore, any trace of it will attract endless attention. This is certainly not what Xu Ning wants, so he must frequently change his identity to avoid being exposed.
What made Xu Ning speechless next was that his fifth senior sister, Yin Qingli, ca looking for him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, long ti no see!" Yin Qingli greeted Xu Ning with a smile after arriving.
Xu Ning said, "Long ti no see, Fellow Daoist Yin!"
Yin Qingli said, "I ca here this ti to thank Fellow Daoist Ye for his guidance last ti, which helped resolve my inner conflicts!"
Xu Ning said, "Fellow Daoist Yin, you're too kind!"
To Xu Ning's relief, Yin Qingli's words in the subsequent conversation didn't reveal any romantic feelings.
Presumably, Yin Qingli still loved the Xu Ning of the past—yes, she was very devoted.
That was good. Xu Ning didn't have to be so tense talking to her, making things much more relaxed.
A year after Yin Qingli left, Su Yufan arrived with a woman.
The woman's face was veiled, and Xu Ning couldn't see her features.
Upon arrival, Su Yufan introduced, "Brother Ye, this is Xia Yuxue, the Holy Maiden of my Ice and Snow Sect."
He then introduced Xu Ning to the woman. "Junior Sister Xia, this is Fellow Daoist Ye Yunhao whom I ntioned to you!"
Xia Yuxue bowed slightly. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ye!"
Xu Ning returned the bow slightly. "You're too kind!"
Su Yufan continued, "Brother Ye, after I returned, I talked a lot with my junior sister, mostly about the path to Foundation Establishnt. She is also a legendary Foundation Establishnt cultivator, walking the sa path as us! Since I was coming here, Junior Sister Xia said she wanted to co and et you, Brother Ye."
Xu Ning gestured to the stone table and benches. "Sit down and let's talk!"
The three of them then sat down.
Su Yufan spoke first. "Fellow Daoist Ye, what are your plans for the future? I'm afraid the Tiancheng Sect can't afford your cultivation resources, can it?"
Xia Yuxue nodded in agreent. "Yes, our master also asked us to ask Fellow Daoist Ye if he's interested in joining the Ice and Snow Sect!"
If you co across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Su Yufan continued, "That's right. The Ice and Snow Sect distributes a certain amount of resources every month. Our master also said that if Fellow Daoist Ye is willing to join the Ice and Snow Sect, the resource allocation will be the sa as ours!"
Listening to the two of them talking back and forth, Xu Ning was speechless. To be honest, even if he sold all the resources the Ice and Snow Sect possessed, it might not be enough.
Shaking his head, Xu Ning said, "Gentlen, I have no intention of defecting from the sect. If the Ice and Snow Sect wants my position, they will naturally offer it up if I pass away within the sect. There's no need for that!"
Su Yufan and Xia Yuxue felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, as what Xu Ning said was true. Wanting him to join was tantamount to coveting his position.
Seeing their expressions, Xu Ning continued, "Besides, I'm a Divine-grade Foundation Establishnt cultivator, requiring more resources than you two. Even if I join the Ice and Snow Sect, it wouldn't make much difference!"
Xu Ning also suspected that if he joined, he might be imprisoned until his lifespan ended.
After all, he joined later, and the Ice and Snow Sect couldn't completely trust him, so they wouldn't invest so many resources in him.
Xia Yuxue said, "Since Fellow Daoist Ye's stance is firm, we won't try to persuade you further! But Fellow Daoist Ye, when will the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion you ntioned last ti be available at the North Sea Peak?"
Xu Ning waved his hand. "I don't know!"
The people Luo Xiu sent should be arriving soon, but Xu Ning couldn't say that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to distance himself.
Su Yufan and Xia Yuxue both looked disappointed after hearing this.
Xu Ning then spoke up. "You two can actually go to other mountain ranges. They all have Heavenly Mystery Pavilions!"
Su Yufan shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Ye, if we go out, the resources provided by the sect will be cut off!"
Xu Ning was relieved to hear this. After all, the amount of resources a Holy Son and Holy Daughter receive each month is enormous, especially for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of an ancient and powerful sect like the Ice and Snow Sect.
Xia Yuxue asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Ye have any connections?"
Xu Ning replied, "I am unskilled, but I know how to refine pills!"
Xia Yuxue and Su Yufan were surprised to hear this, and Su Yufan hurriedly asked, "You know how to refine pills? What grade are they?"
Xu Ning replied, "Just second-grade high-quality pills. I suppose the Ice and Snow Sect doesn't lack second-grade high-quality pills, right?"
Su Yufan and Xia Yuxue looked disappointed. The Ice and Snow Sect didn't lack them.
Afterward, the three of them discussed so ways to obtain resources, but ultimately couldn't reach a conclusion.
After seeing the two off, Xu Ning entered the thatched hut and took out an iron pot, a lantern, and a desk.
These were items that Xu Ning had specially upgraded for his master, Miao Yunyi.
Of course, aside from upgrading to Divine grade at the Mortal level, after reaching the Spirit level, he only upgraded to the Supre grade and imdiately upgraded to the Yuan level. He didn't want to undergo tribulation.
Although this accumulation would be much less than what Xu Ning had, it was enough for Miao Yunyi for the ti being.
After taking the items, Xu Ning went to the Tianbao Sect to find his master, Miao Yunyi, and gave him the items.
Miao Yunyi then gave Xu Ning a large amount of resources. "Disciple, since you are unwilling, your master will do everything in his power to help you!"
Looking at the storage bag in Miao Yunyi's hand, Xu Ning's heart was filled with complex emotions. Without being pretentious, he raised his hand and accepted it. "Thank you, Master!"
Miao Yunyi said, "From now on, I will regularly send you resources to help you!"
Xu Ning said, "Okay!"
Miao Yunyi said, "Perfect, let's try out your alchemy equipnt!"
After saying that, Miao Yunyi set up the iron pot that Xu Ning had brought, lit the fire, and began refining pills.
"My good disciple, you're here just in ti. I've been practicing refining precious pills for the past few years! Watch and learn carefully!"
Xu Ning said, "Master, please don't! If the precious pills explode, it will be terrible!"
Miao Yunyi imdiately beca displeased. "What are you saying? What are you saying? In your heart, my alchemy skills are so bad?"
Xu Ning muttered, "Isn't that what everyone says!"
Miao Yunyi turned his head and glared at Xu Ning. "So many years have passed, do you think I haven't improved at all?"
Xu Ning was still skeptical. "Master, why don't I believe it?"
Miao Yunyi said, "Just watch!"
After saying that, Miao Yunyi began to concentrate on refining pills.
Precious pills, also known as treasure-grade pills, are a level higher than Yuan-grade pills and are used by Golden Core cultivators.
If the furnace were to explode while refining pills of this caliber, the resulting explosion would be equivalent to a strike from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
