“Trying to refine a type of demonic pill that can allow one to advance to the dao realm?”
Mi Xingye frowned. “You learned this from them?”
“That is right.”
Xu Ning said, “Huang Zongshao went to State Yanshui to find an alchemist named Xiang Nanchun in order to refine that demonic pill.”
“That demonic pill is called the Demon Blood Great Pill, and the formula was obtained from a mystic realm when Feng Changge was traveling. Moreover, after exiting the mystic realm, Feng Changge is now a half-step dao realm master.”
Xu Ning added.
“Is that so…”
Mi Xingye’s expression was a little serious, but he did not panic.
Xu Ning also noticed this.
‘It seems like just as Sect Master Feng Xiu said, the top sects in each state have extremely deep foundations, and the Yuelan Sect should be the same. Otherwise, Master wouldn’t be this calm when he knows that there is a half-step dao realm master as his enemy.’
Xu Ning thought about this.
“Call them in.”
Mi Xingye thought for a moment, then said to Xu Ning.
“Master, please wait a moment.”
Xu Ning did not immediately follow his instruction. “Before that, I have something important to tell you.”
“Something important?”
Mi Xingye raised his eyebrows. He then spread out a formless true domain, enveloping the two of them.
“Master, you have some ties with the Source Sect, right?”
Xu Ning was ready to hand over Feng Xiu’s letter.
“Yes, I was old friends with Wu Lanqiong from the Source Sect, but that was when I was young. We haven’t contacted each other for decades.”
Mi Xingye looked nostalgic.
“Master, I returned to my hometown, State Feiyun, and went to visit the Source Sect.”
Xu Ning said.
“So you are from State Feiyun.”
This was the first time Mi Xingye heard about Xu Ning’s background.
In fact, when Xu Ning joined the Yuelan Sect, his identity had already been investigated.
However, the origin of Xu Ning’s identity in State Jifeng came from the Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall in Chun Rin Canton.
Mi Xingye did not care about Xu Ning’s past. And Xu Ning also did not take the initiative to tell him, so he did not ask.
“Yes, I was originally from State Feiyun. I only came to State Jifeng after a series of lucky encounters, and after a few twists and turns, I entered the sect.”
Xu Ning did not mention the specific reason why he came to State Jifeng.
Otherwise, his killing of Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua would inevitably be exposed.
Mi Xingye nodded and didn’t probe further.
“When I went to visit the Source Sect this time, I saw Sect Master Feng Xiu, as well as your old friend Wu Lanqiong from decades ago. Before leaving, Sect Master Feng Xiu wrote you a letter and asked me to hand you a memory crystal.”
Xu Ning handed the letter and memory crystal to Mi Xingye.
Mi Xingye was a little confused. He didn’t have much contact with the Source Sect.
Thus, Mi Xingye didn’t expect Feng Xiu to send this letter.
Mi Xingye opened the letter and read it slowly.
At first, Mi Xingye’s expression was calm, but the more he read, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he put away the letter with a serious expression.
Mi Xingye then activated the memory crystal and read its contents.
Xu Ning stood aside throughout the whole time and did not disturb him.
“There is such a thing…”
After learning the contents of the memory crystal, Mi Xingye seemed to be in disbelief.
“Xu Ning, do you know the news that Sect Master Feng Xiu has asked you to bring?”
Mi Xingye asked Xu Ning.
“I know roughly.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“This matter is too important to be revealed.”
Feng Xiu and Wu Lanqiong had reminded Xu Ning before, but now Mi Xingye was reminding him again.
“I know, Master.”
Xu Ning responded.
“Xu Ning, I have to go out.”
Mi Xingye stood up. Xu Ning didn’t know if he was going to ask for help or confirm the information.
“Master, how should we deal with Feng Changge?”
Xu Ning quickly asked.
Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun were still standing at the door.
“Just now, I was thinking about going to find a senior of the sect to get rid of him, but now there is an even more urgent matter. I have to delay Feng Changge’s matter…”
Mi Xingye said, “Since you brought them here, you can decide for yourself.”
“Decide myself?”
Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before nodding.
He pursed his lips, paused, and suddenly asked, “Master, how strong is a half-step dao realm master?”
“A half-step dao realm master is just a title. They are still a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist.”
Mi Xingye explained to Xu Ning, “It’s just that they have already mastered the method to advance to the dao realm and have some understanding of the secrets of the dao realm. They are still far from being a true dao realm master. If a true domain realm martial artist possesses a dao weapon, they may not be at a disadvantage when facing a half-step dao realm master.”
“What, you are only in the true intent realm, but you are already considering how to advance to become a half-step dao realm master?”
Mi Xingye smiled.
“I was just curious.”
Xu Ning knew very little about the dao realm.
“This is for you.”
Mi Xingye took out another memory crystal and handed it to Xu Ning. “This is the method to advance to the dao realm.”
“This…”
Xu Ning didn’t expect Mi Xingye to give him the method to advance to the dao realm so easily.
In contrast, it took him a lot of effort to obtain a void realm secret scroll when he was in the mortal realm.
“Thank you, Master.”
Xu Ning quickly thanked him.
“I have already created settings for this memory crystal. Before you advance to the true domain realm, you will not be able to read its contents.”
Mi Xingye said, “The reason for this is because I don’t want you to be distracted in advance. There has been a precedent in the Yuelan Sect. Some genius disciples had tried to pry into the secrets of the dao realm before advancing to the true domain realm, causing their cultivation to be messed up, which in turn wasted a lot of energy and effort.”
“The more talented you are, the more conceited you will be. Xu Ning, don’t make the same mistake again.”
Mi Xingye wanted to remind Xu Ning to calm down and not be too hasty because of his rapid advancement.
“I will remember Master’s teachings.”
Xu Ning understood Mi Xingye’s intentions.
“I’m leaving.”
After answering Xu Ning’s questions, Mi Xingye left the Sect Master Peak in a hurry.
When he pushed open the door and walked out, he looked at Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, causing their hearts to freeze.
Fortunately, Mi Xingye left immediately, making the two feel like their lives were just saved.
‘Master must have gone to find the sect senior he had mentioned just now…’
In the room, Xu Ning hadn’t left yet.
‘To be called a senior of the sect by Master and even to ask advice from means that the person must be at least a half-step dao realm master… It seems that many of the elders and even previous sect masters of the sect are hidden in the dark. They are the ultimate power of the sect.’
Xu Ning finally understood.
‘This dao realm technique…’
Xu Ning tried to pry into the contents of the memory crystal. Sure enough, he found a barrier.
This barrier was relatively strong, making it difficult to break through.
However, after Xu Ning tested it, he discovered that if he was willing to forcibly break through this barrier, he could do it.
He was in the true intent realm. Moreover, he cultivated a dual attribute secret scroll and mastered four eighth-level secret techniques. With his strength, he was invincible against ordinary true domain realm martial artists.
Therefore, Xu Ning could pry into this dao realm technique now.
But since Mi Xingye had reminded him not to, Xu Ning felt that there was no need to do this out of curiosity.
‘Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, I will deal with these two myself…’
Xu Ning thought of the two people outside the door.
He weighed his options before walking out of the room.
“You saw my master just now?”
Xu Ning asked the two.
“Yes.”
Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun quickly responded.
Especially Huang Zongshao, when he thought back to Mi Xingye’s glance, he still felt shocked.
He felt that Mi Xingye was stronger than his half-step dao realm sect master.
“My master told me to punish the two of you.”
Xu Ning scratched his head.
“Master Xu, what do you plan to do with us?”
The two looked at Xu Ning cautiously.
“Both of you have a close relationship with the Phantom Blood Sect, and you are enemies with the Yuelan Sect. What do you think I should do with you?”
Xu Ning’s words made the two panic.
Xu Ning obviously wanted to take their lives.
Huang Zongshao knew that if he did not show his value, he would not be able to walk out of the Yuelan Sect alive.
“Master Xu…”
Huang Zongshao struggled for a while before finally revealing a look of determination. “I have a proposal.”
“Go ahead.”
Xu Ning looked at Huang Zongshao with interest.
“Our Sect Master Feng Changge has obtained a lot of treasures from the mystic realm. If you allow me to go back, I will definitely do my best to help you obtain those treasures.”
He seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to add. “If you don’t believe me, you can feed me poison pills. After everything is done, you can give me the antidote.”
“Oh?”
Xu Ning didn’t expect Huang Zongshao to suggest this.
He wanted to tease him, but Xu Ning suddenly had a thought.
‘After Feng Changge came out of the mystic realm, he became a half-step dao realm master and obtained the method to advance to the dao realm. Although the method is through refining the Demon Blood Great Pill, which is still considered as external help, this also shows that the mystic realm has abundant resources.’
‘If I really obtain what he obtained in the mystic realm, I’m afraid I can easily advance to the true domain realm.’
Xu Ning was a little tempted.
‘However…’ Xu Ning thought again. ‘Compared to what I can get from the mystic realm, if I can get close to Feng Changge and understand the secrets of the mystic realm, I might be able to obtain more and even touch the threshold of the dao realm.’
‘Now that Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun are in my hands, this is indeed an opportunity.’
Xu Ning had tasted the benefits of being in a great mystic realm before, so he was instantly tempted.
‘If I can use their identities to sneak into the Phantom Blood Sect, I might be able to gain something…’
Xu Ning’s alchemy skills were extremely high. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to refine some high-level Breath Restraining Pills or even pills that could change his appearance.
“Huang Zongshao…”
Xu Ning began to confirm the feasibility of this plan. “Tell me the specific structure of the Phantom Blood Sect and the details of its important members.”
“Okay!”
Huang Zongshao saw that Xu Ning was interested, so he quickly began to explain.
“Trying to refine a type of demonic pill that can allow one to advance to the dao realm?”
Mi Xingye frowned. “You learned this from them?”
“That is right.”
Xu Ning said, “Huang Zongshao went to State Yanshui to find an alchemist named Xiang Nanchun in order to refine that demonic pill.”
