Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Inside the cave dwelling on the back mountain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Ning Qi is currently focusing on his cultivation.

He finally finished his cultivation in the middle of the night.

He then returned to the stone bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he found that it was already daylight.

Xu Qingqiu came to find him early in the morning.

"Ning Qi."

Her clear voice came from outside the cave.

"Miss Xu."

Ning Qi also came out of the cave, smiling.

"Did you enjoy your stay here last night?"

Xu Qingqiu asked with a smile.

"Habit is far better than living a life of hardship and exposure to the elements."

Ning Qi smiled and said, half-jokingly.

"That's good, otherwise people would say I neglected you."

Xu Qingqiu smiled and joined in the joke.

What are your plans for today?

Ning Qi looked at her and couldn't help but ask.

If he came so early, he must have some plans; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to find him so early.

"Yes, there's something I need you to do together."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then looked serious.

"Oh, what is it?"

Ning Qi immediately became curious and looked at Xu Qingqiu with his eyes to ask.

"Here's the thing, I received a mission today to check on the situation of one of our branch headquarters."

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi and then said seriously, "Since you're here, come with me."

"Does the branch headquarters still need regular inspections?"

Ning Qi was also curious, as he had never encountered anything like this before.

"No, because this branch has been out of contact for two months."

"In principle, they should report to our sect once a month."

"So, we feel that they must have encountered some kind of danger."

"That's why this mission was assigned. We already had two groups of people accept the mission before."

"But after they all went there, there was no news of them ever again."

"So this task came up again."

Xu Qingqiu explained earnestly to Ning Qi, "After reviewing this mission, I felt something was off, so I wanted to go and see what was going on."

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

After listening to her explanation, Ning Qi asked seriously, "What else do we need to prepare?"

"No need, I've already prepared the flying boat, let's go teleport first."

When Xu Qingqiu heard his question, she smiled and said, "This trip should last about seven or eight days, but if things don't go smoothly, it could take ten days to half a month."

"By the time we come back, it will be almost time to set off again."

"Oh? Are we leaving so early?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

"Yes, because we still need some time on the road."

Xu Qingqiu nodded and then said, "It will take about ten days to get from here to the Boundary Sea Battlefield."

"Hmm, I see."

Ning Qi only realized what was going on after hearing her words.

"Let's go then, let's hurry."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, and then took the initiative to invite him.

"Okay, let's go."

Ning Qi agreed and then followed her down the mountain.

The two set off together and arrived at the mountain gate in no time.

On one side of the mountain gate, there were also many flying boats, which were obviously prepared for the people who were going to carry out the mission.

Xu Qingqiu led Ning Qi over and greeted one of the disciples.

"Junior brother, is my flying boat ready?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at the disciple and asked with a smile.

"Senior sister, it's been prepared for a long time."

"Everything I've picked out for you is the best."

After the disciple agreed, he pointed to the flying boat in front of her and said, "How about this? If you like it, use it."

"My junior brother recommended this one. Is there anything else you don't like? This is it."

Xu Qingqiu stepped forward without hesitation and said.

"Okay, then you can keep it. Be careful on your journey!"

The disciple handed a token to Xu Qingqiu and then gave him instructions.

"Okay, don't worry."

Xu Qingqiu agreed and then boarded the flying boat, waving to Ning Qi: "Ning Qi, let's go."

"Yes, it's here!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he boarded the flying boat.

Xu Qingqiu's nine-tailed cat also went up with them.

"set off!"

Xu Qingqiu placed his spirit stones on the flying boat and then activated it.

The airship sped off ahead.

After she left, Gao Yunze came over from a distance.

"Junior brother, where did Miss Xu go?"

He looked at Xu Qingqiu and then asked with concern.

"Senior brother, she set off after receiving a mission, and I cannot reveal that to you."

When the disciple heard his question, he shook his head and said...

"She was with a young man, wasn't she?"

Gao Yunze then asked.

"Yes, they just left a little while ago."

The disciple continued to respond, not paying any attention.

"Well, for your senior brother's future happiness, you should also tell him where she went."

As Gao Yunze spoke, he specially handed a storage bag to the disciple: "There's a small token of my appreciation inside, thank you for your hard work, junior brother."

"Senior brother, you're putting me in a difficult position."

The disciple said that, but his hands were very honest.

They took the storage bag directly into their hands.

"Junior brother, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but if you don't tell and I don't tell, who else will know?"

Gao Yunze smiled mysteriously and gave him another storage bag.

It was bulging inside, clearly filled with spirit stones.

"This is her mission, take a look."

The disciple ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and handed over Xu Qingqiu's task to Gao Yunze.

"Oh? Thank you, junior brother!"

Gao Yunze took it and began to look at it seriously.

"Senior brother, remember, don't make any noise, or I'll be in trouble."

After handing it over to him, the disciple hurriedly gave him a reminder.

"Junior brother, don't worry, how could your senior brother possibly harm you? I won't tell anyone about this."

Gao Yunze patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

"Okay! Thank you, senior brother."

The disciple nodded, then looked at Gao Yunze with a thoughtful expression, thanked him, and left.

After leaving, Gao Yunze headed straight up the mountain.

The way they rushed along indicated that they had something important to do.

When he returned to the mountain, the first thing he did was find his master.

"Master!"

Gao Yunze arrived in front of a hall and bowed respectfully.

"What's the matter?"

After hearing his greeting, his master asked in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, a blurry figure appeared in front of him.

It was a white-haired old man.

"Master, may I borrow your golden boat for a moment?"

Gao Yunze asked respectfully.

"Golden Boat? What use do you have for it?"

Upon hearing this, the old man asked in a deep voice.

"Master, I have to go on a mission and want to come back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing his question, Gao Yunze replied with a solemn expression, "In order to save time, I would like to borrow Master's golden boat so that we can get there faster."

"It's rare to see someone with ambition like you, so feel free to use it."

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled across his aged face.

He then patted his storage bag, and a golden boat the size of a palm appeared.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the golden boat flew to Gao Yunze's front.

"Thank you, Master." Gao Yunze accepted the golden boat with both hands and bowed respectfully.

"Go ahead, but be careful when you get out."

The old man waved his hand, and then his body swayed.

It suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

Gao Yunze took the golden boat and then suddenly activated it.

"Whoosh."

The golden boat instantly grew larger, and he leaped onto it.

It landed steadily on the golden boat.

"set off!"

Gao Yunze did not leave immediately, but instead maneuvered the golden boat to the back mountain.

"Senior brother?"

Where are you headed?

"..."

When he arrived at the back of the mountain, he saw his fellow disciples from the previous night.

Everyone watched him ride in the golden boat and asked curiously.

"We're going out on business. Anyone who's not busy, come with me."

Gao Yunze glanced at the people present and said in a deep voice, "After the matter is accomplished, each person will be rewarded with ten thousand top-grade spirit stones."

"I go!"

"I'm fine too."

"Senior brother, I'll go with you."

"..."

After he finished speaking, several disciples immediately raised their hands and spoke up.

"Alright, then everyone come up."

Gao Yunze accepts all comers.

His golden boat can be made large or small, so there's no need to worry about not having enough room.

"it is good!"

"I am coming!"

"..."

At his command, more than a dozen people leaped into the air and landed on his golden boat.

"Set off."

Gao Yunze brought a large group of people and then set off in the golden boat.

The direction was exactly the one Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu had left in.

At this moment, the two had already flown away from the Myriad Swords Sect.

Flying in an unnamed mountain range.

"Roar!"

"..."

Below, the roars of ferocious beasts can be heard from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

"There are quite a few ferocious beasts here."

Ning Qi listened to the roars below and couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, this is Longevity Hill."

Xu Qingqiu pointed downwards and said, "However, this is our Wanjian Sect's territory. Only we are allowed to come here to hunt."

"If other sects want to come here to hunt ferocious beasts and spirit beasts, they must obtain the consent of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

"Moreover, it's impossible for them to take everything; they need to give us 20% before they can leave."

"Oh? Are you all that domineering?"

Hearing her say that, Ning Qi couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Ning Qi, when it comes to resources, everyone is equal. Would you stand by and watch your enemy take away your resources without doing anything?"

Xu Qingqiu gave a very vivid example.

"That's true."

Ning Qi had no way to refute it.

"It will take us two or three days to fly like this."

"It's going to be very boring to be on this airship for the next few days."

Xu Qingqiu sat on the flying boat and couldn't help but sigh.

A pair of eyes gazed into the distance.

"Is there any way to make it fly faster?"

Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes, it requires spiritual essence, but that would be too wasteful."

Xu Qingqiu thought for a moment before responding.

"Spiritual marrow? How fast would it be if we used spiritual marrow the entire time?"

Ning Qi became interested immediately after hearing what she said.

"It can save half the time."

Xu Qingqiu nodded and said.

"That's worth it. It saves us time on the road, which gives us more time to do the mission."

Upon hearing her say that, Ning Qi immediately took out a storage bag from his own storage bag and handed it to her.

"This is……"

Xu Qingqiu had already guessed what it was, but still asked uncertainly.

"This is spiritual essence, you can take it and use it."

"Saving time might even allow us to travel and enjoy the scenery."

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

Xu Qingqiu nodded and said.

"Don't be so polite with us, just use it."

Before Ning Qi could say anything, Yao Ling spoke first.

"Little guy, can you still be in charge of your master's affairs?"

Xu Qingqiu made a joke.

"I can't do it, but didn't my master give it to you?"

"Is that even a question? It's obviously for you to use as you please."

Yao Ling shrugged, revealing an innocent and harmless appearance.

"Little guy, you're sharp-tongued."

Xu Qingqiu tapped his little head, then turned and walked towards the cabin: "I'm going to put the spiritual essence in there to use. You wait a moment."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed without hesitation, and then sat on the deck, gazing into the distance.

"Whoosh!"

They were admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.

Suddenly I felt something fly away from above my head.

"Master, what is that?"

Yao Ling noticed it immediately and pointed to a golden light in the distance, asking curiously.

"I don't know, it was too fast, there wasn't enough time to see clearly!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then analyzed, "However, it should be a flying boat."

"Ah? It would be wonderful if we could have a flying boat like that."

"That speed is simply unbeatable!"

Yao Ling immediately showed envy as he watched the golden light disappear before his eyes.

What are you talking about?

Just then, Xu Qingqiu came out.

Seeing the two of them staring blankly ahead, I couldn't help but ask them a question out of curiosity.

“We just saw a golden flying boat fly by.”

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"Golden light shimmering? It looks like Gao Yunze's master had a golden boat, just like that."

Xu Qingqiu thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Could it be him?"

At this moment, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Gao Yunze is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

He might very well go and cause trouble after he finds out what task she's going to be doing.

"So what?"

Ning Qi said disdainfully, "If it really is him, I'll just take his golden boat."

"That won't do. We're from the same sect. If word gets out, people will start gossip!"

Xu Qingqiu immediately shook her head, a look of unease flashing in her eyes: "You can't do anything reckless."

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but let's make this clear first."

"If it really is him, I won't show any mercy if he dares to cause trouble."

Ning Qi nodded, then earnestly reminded her.

"I feel like he probably wouldn't dare."

Xu Qingqiu shook her head and continued looking ahead: "Alright, we'll pick up speed soon, I'm going to activate the protective formation."

"okay!"

Ning Qi nodded, then circulated his cultivation technique, preparing to withstand the intensity of this first wave of acceleration.

"Okay, come on."

The spirit medicine had already hidden inside Ning Qi's clothes, waiting for her to speed up. (End of Chapter)
