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

The two chatted as they ate, and soon they had almost finished eating.

"How is it? The food here tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi and asked with a smile.

"Hmm, it feels pretty good."

Ning Qi nodded, then looked out the window at the street: "It must be very lively here at night. Let's go out and see what fun things there are to do."

"it is good!"

Xu Qingqiu agreed and then continued to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

After a short while, the two of them finally finished all the food on the table.

"let's go."

Xu Qingqiu stood up and said with a smile.

"Walk."

After Ning Qi agreed, he also got up.

Then they left together.

They quickly arrived downstairs and then headed towards the bustling area.

After a while, they came to a bustling street, which was full of people.

Pedestrians came and went, shoulder to shoulder.

The streets are lined with stalls selling various resources, and some auctions are underway.

"So, are you going again today?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at it and asked with a smile.

"There's no need to go. Let's just wander around outside."

Ning Qi shook his head, showing no interest in the auction.

"it is good!"

Xu Qingqiu clearly didn't want to go either, and upon hearing his words, she immediately skipped away.

After they left, they came to another street where there were quite a few people.

The shops here sell all kinds of weapons and armor, as well as rare and precious materials.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Ning Qi smiled and said after seeing one of the houses.

"Okay."

Xu Qingqiu followed them inside.

"What would you two like to order?"

A waiter came forward and asked with a smile.

"Just browsing."

Ning Qi didn't say anything, but walked straight inside.

Seeing this, the shop assistant followed behind, ready to introduce the treasures here at any time.

Xu Qingqiu followed behind, and after seeing them all step forward, she looked ahead.

At that moment, she saw a weapon hanging on the wall; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a soft sword.

"What, you like it?"

Ning Qi came over and asked with a smile.

"It looks like a lot of fun."

Xu Qingqiu didn't say she wasn't interested; instead, she continued to look at the soft sword in front of her with the same curiosity.

"This sword has a history; it was passed down from the Immortal Realm."

"Our boss found it for a hefty sum."

The waiter stepped forward and introduced the items: "If you two like them, you can take a look."

"Come, let me see."

Ning Qi waved his hand.

"it is good!"

The waiter quickly stepped forward, took it down for Ning Qi, and handed it to him with both hands.

Ning Qi took the soft sword in his hand and first infused it with his immortal power.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, the soft sword unleashed a chilling sword aura.

"boom."

It shattered the wooden chair in front of it.

"See? I wasn't wrong!"

Seeing this, the waiter said smugly.

"Not very good."

Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's take another look."

"Young master, with such great power, how can you say it's not good?"

"Do you see any other things with this power?"

The man immediately became unhappy.

"Have you ever considered that it might be because he's strong?"

Xu Qingqiu smiled and looked at the waiter.

"Young master, it's not that I'm ungrateful, but your strength isn't that great."

"Don't underestimate our weapons."

The guy didn't care at all.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special here, let's go."

Yao Ling, perched on Ning Qi's shoulder, said sullenly.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the waiter quickly said, "You can't leave."

"Oh? Why can't we leave?"

"I didn't buy anything from you, do you think I owe you spirit stones?"

Ning Qi was surprised and couldn't help but look at the waiter.

Is this place going to force people to buy or sell?

"You've already touched our weapons, how are we supposed to sell them now?"

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Qi and continued, "You must buy this sword, or you won't be leaving here."

After he said that, several of his men immediately came over.

Each of them unleashed a chilling aura, clearly preparing to make a move.

Ning Qi remained unmoved by their fierce expressions, simply looking at the group of people.

"Hmph, if we don't buy it, do you dare to cause trouble?"

"This is Ziyun City, what do you think this place is?"

Xu Qingqiu snorted coldly, also displeased.

Those eyes were filled with anger.

I never expected to encounter such a forced sale here.

"Hmph, don't even think about leaving without paying."

"These are our rules, or we'll give it a try."

The waiter looked at the two men coldly, as if they were lambs to the slaughter.

"Yes, you can give it a try."

"You must buy this sword today."

"..."

The other guys chimed in, each looking completely unconcerned.

They've clearly got them cornered.

"What if I don't give it to you?"

Ning Qi stepped forward, his eyes coldly fixed on the people in front of him.

These people are only at the half-step True Immortal level; they have no right to fight him.

At this moment, Ning Qi also unleashed a fierce aura.

This immediately made the group realize that he had been hiding his strength, which was why they hadn't seen through it.

Now that Ning Qi has unleashed his power, the others finally realize that the person in front of them is also a master.

However, they did not give up because he was a master; instead, they became even more arrogant.

"If you won't give it to me, you can try."

The waiter smiled, then said with a hint of amusement, "This isn't an ordinary place. You can't afford to offend the people behind us."

"Then I advise you to hand over the people behind you."

"Otherwise, he'll have to collect your corpses."

Ning Qi also looked at the people in front of him with a disdainful expression.

Just like human corpses.

He was already radiating killing intent; he was clearly preparing to make a move.

"Hmph, don't be so arrogant, you'll regret it later."

The waiter snorted and then said to the person next to him, "Go and call the manager over."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The man agreed and then hurriedly left.

"Now let's see how arrogant you can be."

The former employee grinned smugly, looking at Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu: "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"puff!"

However, before he could say anything more...

Ning Qi punched him directly through the chest.

Before he even knew what was happening, he was already dead.

"How dare you!"

"You dare kill our men!"

"..." The others were immediately enraged upon seeing this.

However, they only dared to shout here, and not a single one of them dared to come forward and make a move.

They knew very well that Ning Qi was very strong, and they were no match for him at all.

Now, all we can do is wait for their manager to come out.

"I'm leaving, let's see who can stop me!"

Ning Qi snorted coldly, completely unconcerned.

He then waved to Xu Qingqiu and said, "Let's go."

"it is good!"

Xu Qingqiu agreed and then followed Ning Qi as they continued walking outside.

"stop."

Just as they were about to leave, an old voice came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi turned his head and saw an elderly man with gray hair walking towards them.

Those eyes were filled with a solemn expression.

When they arrived at Ning Qi's side, they looked him up and down.

"You must be the shopkeeper."

Ning Qi also looked at him, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

He could sense the old man's strength, but compared to himself, he was still slightly inferior.

Most importantly, he has Xu Qingqiu by his side, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, as that would be detrimental to her.

"Young man, you killed my men, looked at my goods, and you're just going to leave like that?"

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Qi and spoke to him in a cold voice.

"Oh? You open a shop for business, but you don't show your wares to people?"

Ning Qi looked at the old man and continued, "Then why don't you close the door? Are you saying you came here specifically to extort money?"

"presumptuous!"

Before the shopkeeper could speak, one of the waiters behind him said, "If you dare to make another sound, you'll regret it."

"boom!"

However, before he could finish speaking...

He was directly blown away by Ning Qi's fierce aura.

It crashed heavily into the wall, and was pierced through the body by a sword.

The guy who was just jumping around and shouting was killed without warning.

"How dare you!"

Upon seeing this, the old man was enraged and stepped forward to attack Ning Qi.

A pair of withered hands were already reaching towards his chest.

Clearly, they were ready to crush his chest.

"Snapped!"

Instead of retreating, Ning Qi advanced, and with just one hand, he forced the old man back several steps.

"Be careful."

Xu Qingqiu was also behind, offering a worried reminder.

The old man took a few steps back, but did not give up. Instead, he unleashed his power again, sweeping towards Ning Qi.

He wanted to crush Ning Qi with his own strength and let him know how powerful he was.

"boom!"

However, before he could unleash his full power, he was blown away by a gust of air.

He crashed into the counter and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"you!"

Only then did the old man realize that Ning Qi's strength far surpassed his own.

The arrogance that had been there just moments before was gone from those eyes.

His face was filled with disbelief.

"Me? What's wrong?"

Ning Qi smiled and walked over: "Speak."

"You are a celestial master!"

The old man then realized what was happening, and a look of panic immediately appeared on his old face.

I never expected Ning Qi to be a celestial master.

He's practically a sect leader in a sect, how could he come to a place like this? Shouldn't he be in seclusion cultivating within the sect?

"You're good at noticing."

Ning Qi smiled, then looked at the old man: "So, are you still asking me for spirit stones?"

"You flatter us, sir. We were blind just now."

The old man immediately realized what was happening and quickly put on a smiling face.

He had no intention of resisting in front of a celestial master; this was the difference in absolute strength.

He believed that if he was not careful, he might be killed by Ning Qi.

That would be a truly unjust death.

It was only because I listened to that guy that I encountered such a jinx.

However, Ning Qi had already killed that guy, so it was impossible to settle accounts with him now.

"Give me 100 million spirit stones and I can let bygones be bygones."

"Otherwise, I'll tear down your shop."

Ning Qi held up one finger, a playful look on his face: "Otherwise, you won't learn your lesson."

"Excuse me, we have so many spirit stones there."

"Please forgive me, sir."

"You can choose any weapons and armor here, as long as you like them."

The old man quickly shook his head, then pointed to all the weapons and armor present, inviting Ning Qi to choose.

"None of the ones here are to my liking."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "However, if you have something useful to offer, I might spare your life if I'm in a good mood."

"This……"

Upon hearing his words, the old man immediately began to hesitate.

He never expected Ning Qi to make such an outrageous demand.

But for now, the only option is to spend money to avoid further trouble.

"What? You don't want to?"

Seeing his hesitation, Ning Qi's face immediately darkened.

A murderous intent was already surging in his eyes.

"Sir, please... come with me to the backyard."

The old man eventually made a decision and had Ning Qi follow him to the backyard.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed and then followed the old man to the backyard.

Seeing this, Xu Qingqiu didn't hesitate and followed along.

They soon arrived at the backyard, where Ning Qi followed the old man into a study.

After Ning Qi and the old man came in, she followed closely behind and walked in directly.

After they entered, the old man invited them to sit down one by one.

"Gentlemen, this is our treasure. You may take a look."

As the old man spoke, he took a brocade box from the bookshelf behind him.

He placed it on the table and addressed the two of them.

"Open it and take a look."

Ning Qi didn't rush to open it, but asked the old man to open it for him.

That way, even if there is danger, it won't affect him.

"Shh."

The old man opened it.

A glint of light flashed from within.

After a flash of light, a pagoda appeared inside.

However, it looks ordinary, just like a piece of scrap metal.

“Master, he’s playing a trick on us.”

Upon seeing this, Yao Ling immediately became displeased.

They finally managed to get in, and you're joking around with a piece of scrap metal?

"Please calm down, my lord. This is no ordinary tower. It truly came from the upper realm."

"However... there are restrictions inside, so we can't activate them."

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly explained.

"Oh? Let me see."

Ning Qi became interested after hearing what he said.

So he stepped forward, took the iron tower down, and began to feel it in his hands.

It felt heavy in my hand; it didn't seem like an ordinary thing.

He is now a master with the strength of a celestial being, so this kind of scrap iron should theoretically be of no value in his hands.

However, once he acquired it, it still carried some weight when he circulated his internal energy.

"How about it?"

Seeing this, Xu Qingqiu asked curiously.

"I don't know yet, I'll give it a try."

Ning Qi shook his head, then circulated his immortal power, causing it to surge within the iron tower.

As his immortal power surged, the pagoda rippled slightly.

There was actually a slight reaction. (End of Chapter)
