While Xu Ning was on his void realm advancement retreat, Le Caiwei had once asked Xing Er to find Xu Ning.
But Gu Qinghe told Xing Er that Xu Ning had gone into seclusion.
Xing Er brought the news of Xu Ning’s seclusion back to Le Caiwei.
Therefore, Le Caiwei knew that Xu Ning was trying to break through to the void realm.
However, Le Caiwei held no faith in Xu Ning breaking through to the void realm.
She had been stuck in the spirit realm for a long time, so she knew the difficulty of advancing to the void realm.
Those who were able to successfully cultivate a void realm secret scroll in their first attempt was rare among the true disciples, let alone inner disciples.
Xu Ning’s strength had shocked Le Caiwei.
“Yes, I have advanced to the mold body realm.”
Xu Ning turned his head and gave Le Caiwei a look of confirmation.
Le Caiwei pressed her lips when she heard those words, as if the anxiety and panic she showed just now had disappeared.
For some reason, after realizing Xu Ning had advanced to the void realm, Le Caiwei had more hope for the future of the Seven Boxers.
“Xu Ning?”
Gu Zhiyin frowned and looked at Xu Ning.
He seemed to have never heard of this name in the Seven Boxers before.
A void realm martial artist who easily defeated Guo Yuechun seemed to have suddenly emerged out of thin air.
“This Junior Brother, you actually hurt a member of the Knife Moon Crowd in front of me, aren’t you being a bit ridiculous?”
Gu Zhiyin walked forward with a folding fan in his hand and lifted Guo Yuechun up.
“Guo Yuechun striked first. I was just protecting myself, so how am I being ridiculous?”
Xu Ning did not give up his momentum in the face of Gu Zhiyin.
He knew that Gu Zhiyin was a true qi realm martial artist.
However, he had cultivated his secret techniques to the third level, not to mention he was cultivating a double secret scroll.
Considering all these factors, Xu Ning was not scared of an enemy who was only one realm higher than him.
“Okay! Okay!”
Gu Zhiyin flipped his wrist, waving his fan at Xu Ning.
Suddenly, Xu Ning felt a dangerous aura coming towards him.
He raised his hand to block the incoming attack, his palms full of force.
‘A true qi attack!’
Xu Ning felt a stabbing pain in his palm.
However, the true qi did not reach Xu Ning’s bones.
Xu Ning’s force could offset most of the incoming true qi.
‘He really is a true qi realm warrior, even just a quick attack possesses this much power.’
Xu Ning’s body was surging with fiery qi, and the breath of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra quickly healed Xu Ning’s injury.
Once a mold body realm practitioner advanced to the true qi realm, the internal qi in one’s body would undergo a qualitative change to become true qi.
Once inner qi was transformed into true qi, when a void realm martial artist attacked, instead of transforming inner qi into force, they used true qi to directly attack their enemies instead.
And without question, the lethality of true qi was several times higher than that of force.
If a normal martial artist relied on force to fight against a true qi martial artist, they would undoubtedly be crushed. After all, these two powers were not on the same level.
The reason why Xu Ning was able to defend against the true qi attack just now, was because the Martial Arts Panel had allowed Xu Ning to reach the realm limit once he advanced. And to add to that, he was blessed with two third level secret techniques.
The combination of all that allowed Xu Ning to survive.
But Xu Ning also knew very well that even though the opponent could not defeat him, he could not easily defend against the opponent either.
The difference between void realms was greater than that between mortal realms.
“Great strength!”
After testing Xu Ning’s strength, Gu Zhiyin stopped attacking.
With just one attack, he gauged that Xu Ning had practiced at least one secret technique to third level.
“Junior Brother, would you like to join my Knife Moon Crowd?”
Regardless of their previous scuffle, Gu Zhiyin opened his mouth and said, “As long as you are willing to join the Knife Moon Crowd, I am willing to ask the leaders to give you unlimited right to use our aura fountain!”
Unlimited use of an aura fountain.
This temptation was too great.
In the Seven Boxers, only Xiao Qiyun and the four Class Fives had this right.
When Gu Zhiyin said this, Guo Yuechun, Ren Qingzhu and even Shen Qiulun all looked dissatisfied.
Such a major offer from Gu Zhiyin showed that he was very optimistic about Xu Ning.
If Xu Ning really went to the Knife Moon Crowd, his status would definitely be higher than theirs.
At that point, Xu Ning could control them at will.
Forget about getting enough resources, maybe they would even be kicked out by Xu Ning.
When Le Caiwei heard Gu Zhiyin’s offer to Xu Ning, her heart tensed up, but soon she relaxed.
Her intuition told her that Xu Ning would not accept Gu Zhiyin’s offer.
And Le Caiwei’s guess was correct.
“Just one aura fountain?”
Xu Ning smiled: “The Seven Boxers has four aura fountains.”
Gu Zhiyin’s smile slowly disappeared. “Are you really sure that in a few days, the Seven Boxers will still have four aura fountains?”
Xu Ning did not answer, he just smiled confidently.
“Okay, confident!”
Gu Zhiyin’s folding fan flicked. “Since you don’t want to join my Knife Moon Crowd, then I won’t force the matter. However, I hope you don’t regret this!”
Gu Zhiyin already knew that he couldn’t change Xu Ning’s mind at all.
“Let’s go.”
Gu Zhiyin took a long look at Xu Ning, then left.
Gu Zhiyin really wished to fight Xu Ning on the spot.
However, Gu Zhiyin intuitively felt that he might not be able to gain the upper hand in a battle against Xu Ning.
For the sake of being on the safe side, Gu Zhiyin chose to hold back for now.
He had poached many elites from the Seven Boxers, so his goal could be said to have been achieved.
As long as he waited for the follow-up of the incident, his sister, Gu Yishang, the Leader of the Knife Moon Crowd, would nab all the resources of the Seven Boxers one by one.
After seeing Gu Zhiyin leave, everyone followed behind him.
Xu Ning refused Gu Zhiyin’s invitation, which relieved Guo Yuechun and the others, but their hatred for Xu Ning grew deeper.
The members of the Knife Moon Crowd left, leaving only Xu Ning, Le Caiwei and the remaining seven to eight Class Threes in the room.
“Xu Ning, thank you very much for this.”
Le Caiwei completely relaxed.
After experiencing very high levels of mental stress recently, Le Caiwei suddenly felt a little tired.
“No need to thank me, I am a member of the Seven Boxers.”
Xu Ning replied in a sincere way.
Even though Gu Zhiyin had offered him an unlimited use of their aura fountain as part of the offer, Xu Ning was not tempted.
He knew that the Knife Moon Crowd was an old rival of the Seven Boxers.
Even if the Seven Boxers disbanded, Xu Ning would not join the Knife Moon Crowd like a quisling.
As a void realm martial artist, it would be very easy for him to enter other inner sect groups.
Even if he didn’t join another inner sect group and used the Martial Arts Panel alone to improve his strength, the resources he could get would still be enough.
Moreover, now that the Seven Boxers was having internal problems, if he stayed here and seized the opportunity, maybe he could get a share of the resources.
Not just Le Caiwei, but the other Class Three disciples who stood firmly on the side of the Seven Boxers also looked at Xu Ning with respect.
Although Xu Ning had only recently joined the Seven Boxers, his strength had earned everyone’s respect.
Moreover, Xu Ning was now the strongest member in the Seven Boxers.
Even if Ning Xun returned, this fact might still remain true.
After all, everyone had seen Xu Ning’s exchange against Gu Zhiyin, a true qi realm martial artist.
“Xu Ning.”
Le Caiwei said, “You are now the backbone of the Seven Boxers, and you have protected our important resources. So if you have any requests, you can put them forward at will.”
Le Caiwei had now become the most high-ranked person in the Seven Boxers.
“I want to take a look at the aura fountains.”
Xu Ning directly expressed his thoughts.
He wanted to make sure if he could enter it to absorb energy.
“Sure.”
Le Caiwei agreed without any hesitation.
“You can enter and concentrate on cultivating.”
Le Caiwei said, “In an aura fountain, whether you are practicing a secret technique or secret scroll, there will be a boost to your speed.”
“Although I don’t know when the Knife Moon Crowd will cause trouble for us, but Xu Ning, you just need to concentrate on cultivating.”
Le Caiwei’s eyes looked firm. “We will not just sit around and wait to die. I will also see if I can get some help.”
“Okay.”
Xu Ning nodded.
“I will bring you to the aura fountains now.”
Le Caiwei felt that the situation was urgent, so she didn’t want to waste any more time.
When Xu Ning heard this, he did not immediately agree. “I want to go back to my residence first.”
Xu Ning had been in a coma for a few days just before this, so the Thousand Source Bug must have expelled some Aura Crystals again.
However, the belt containing the Thousand Source Bug was in his room, and Xu Ning wanted to go back and absorb the Aura Crystals.
“Okay.”
Le Caiwei continued, “Then, go to Xing Er and ask her to take you to the aura fountains of the Seven Boxers.”
Le Caiwei had other matters to deal with.
“No problem.”
At the end of the discussion, everyone left.
After that, Xu Ning returned to his residence.
—
Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?
Yes/No
—
“Absorb.”
Xu Ning absorbed three Aura Crystals.
With 30 new units of energy, his energy reserves had reached 100 units.
When he advanced to the void realm, Xu Ning’s stash of Pure Source Dans had already been used up.
Xu Ning had now completely run out of resources to absorb energy from.
Thus, Xu Ning hoped that the aura fountains could give him a pleasant surprise.
Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment on his belt.
He would stay for at least ten days in the aura fountains, so Xu Ning decided to carry the Thousand Source Bug on him.
Once everything was cleaned up, Xu Ning walked out of his room.
Just when he was about to leave, Xu Ning suddenly remembered something. He thought about it and knocked on Gu Qinghe’s door.
“You’re back? What’s the situation at the Seven Boxers?”
Gu Qinghe greeted Xu Ning.
“The situation is serious. The Seven Boxers may be disbanded at any time.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“That serious?”
Gu Qinghe didn’t expect this either.
He shook his head and said, “In any case, you should leave the Seven Boxers as soon as possible. With your current strength, any inner sect group will be willing to accept you.”
“I don’t plan to leave for the time being.”
Xu Ning said, “In fact, I want to ask if you are willing to join the Seven Boxers?”
“What?”
Gu Qinghe thought he had misheard. “Join the Seven Boxers?”
“Yes.”
Xu Ning nodded.
“Are you joking with me?”
Gu Qinghe was puzzled.
Xu Ning explained, “Although the Seven Boxers is in chaos now, there may still be a chance of a comeback. If you join the Seven Boxers during their down period, you will receive plenty of resources once they stabilize in the future. Even if you lose the bet and the Seven Boxers disbands, you won’t lose anything. After all, you are just a newcomer.”
Xu Ning wasn’t 100% confident in the future of the Seven Boxers.
But if he could use the aura fountain to improve his strength in a short period of time, gaining the strength needed to fight against the Leader of the Knife Moon Crowd, the Seven Boxers would stabilize their situation and keep their position.
Gu Qinghe had a good relationship with him, so Xu Ning was willing to give him this opportunity.
“Um…”
After hearing this, Gu Qinghe began to think.
Xu Ning did not disturb his thoughts.
If Gu Qinghe was unwilling, he would not force him.
“Okay!”
Gu Qinghe slapped his thigh. “I want to join the Seven Boxers!”
“Okay, then come with me.”
Xu Ning said, “I will find someone to arrange for you to join the Seven Boxers.”
“No problem.”
Gu Qinghe said.
Xu Ning knew that Gu Qinghe was a good person, and Gu Qinghe also understood Xu Ning’s character.
Since Xu Ning was suggesting he should do this, then this was definitely a good decision.
Afterwards, Xu Ning took Gu Qinghe to Spring Moon Courtyard Room 16.
Xu Ning first asked Xing Er to take him to the aura fountain before requesting Xing Er to register Gu Qinghe into the Seven Boxers.
…
There was a round pit with a diameter of three meters and a depth of about one meter in front of Xu Ning.
There was a faint wave of smoke lingering from the pit.
Xu Ning took a breath, feeling refreshed in his chest and lungs.
“This is an aura fountain?”
Xu Ning discovered that white air currents flowed from the round pit.
But Xu Ning was certain that it was definitely not aura.
This was because aura itself had no color, and this white air current was composed of small particles.
‘I forgot to ask Xing Er how this aura fountain is formed.’
Xu Ning walked to the edge of the round pit. ‘According to an elder, the aura fountains in the inner sect are of inferior-grade, while those in the true sect are of middle-grade. Only the elders and some deacons use superior-grade aura fountains.’
‘Let’s check out this inferior-grade aura fountain!’
Xu Ning no longer hesitated, and he went straight into the round pit.
As soon as he entered the round pit, Xu Ning felt internal qi entering his body.
After entering the mold body realm, a void realm martial artist could directly absorb aura to replenish oneself, furthering their cultivation.
However, Xu Ning’s talent was too poor. He could only rely on aura to supplement his needs, but he no longer needed to do that.
If he used an aura fountain to practice his secret scroll or secret techniques like other void realm martial artists, the efficiency would be very low.
However, Xu Ning didn’t care about this. As long as the aura could be converted into energy, his practice speed would be much faster than regular martial arts practice.
‘I have to test it out and see if I can convert the aura in the aura fountain into energy.’
Xu Ning stood in the middle of the aura fountain, closed his eyes, and began to feel himself absorbing aura.
While Xu Ning was on his void realm advancement retreat, Le Caiwei had once asked Xing Er to find Xu Ning.
But Gu Qinghe told Xing Er that Xu Ning had gone into seclusion.
Xing Er brought the news of Xu Ning’s seclusion back to Le Caiwei.
Therefore, Le Caiwei knew that Xu Ning was trying to break through to the void realm.
