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

"Okay, follow me."

Li Xinlian nodded, then led her to prepare to leave.

Ning Qi was standing to the side, seemingly unsure of what to do.

"Lian'er, take Young Master Ning to rest."

Soon after, Li Xinlian's reminder came again.

"Yes!"

A maidservant walked gracefully towards them.

Then he respectfully waved to Ning Qi and said, "Young Master Ning, this way please."

"it is good."

Ning Qi agreed and then set off with Lian'er.

She led Ning Qi through the corridor, but did not go up to the attic.

Instead, they stopped on one side of the bamboo house.

This is also a side room built with bamboo.

"Young Master Ning, please rest here."

"Master and the others must have gone to the Sumeru Space."

“In there, their time is controllable.”

"With the support of the formation, five hours will only take about an hour for us outside the capital to conduct state affairs."

The maid explained to Ning Qi.

"Oh? This is a time-suppression formation?"

Upon hearing her explanation, Ning Qi immediately understood what was going on.

“That’s right, this formation was set up by my master, and it’s a lost formation.”

The maid nodded, then continued, "Young Master Ning, you should get some rest. It should be done in about an hour."

"Okay! Thank you."

Ning Qi nodded and then went directly into the side room.

“Master, we also have this formation on our alchemy furnace, but Wei Xian and the others destroyed it.”

The spirit medicine, residing in his dantian, said helplessly, "At that time, I was not fully awake and could not stop them."

"Yes, I've heard that alchemists also know this kind of formation."

"And they also know how to forge weapons."

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "Unfortunately, this kind of formation is usually very difficult to set up."

"Some cultivators who pursue the ultimate will also ask experts to help them set up this kind of array space."

"Yes, that's right. It's a pity that setting up this kind of array space is too complicated."

Yao Ling nodded, then said, "We don't need to."

"Hmm, I wonder what Lei Shan and the others will do tomorrow."

Yao Ling suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but say, "We can't exactly go and deal with Miss Xu's people, can we?"

"We'll see."

"We'll all be disguised, so nobody will recognize us."

Ning Qi agreed and then looked out the window of the side room.

As night deepens, the calls of birds and animals can still be heard from time to time.

It fills the night with vitality.

"Master, do you think what we're doing is putting Miss Xu in a difficult position?"

"We clearly agreed to set off with her, but now we're setting off with the demons."

Yao Ling remembered something else and couldn't help but remind her.

"It doesn't matter to me."

Ning Qi said nonchalantly, "As long as it can improve my strength, that's fine. As for the deaths of those people, that's not my problem."

"Don't forget how badly we were chased down by the people from the Immortal Realm."

"Yes, I almost forgot."

Yao Ling nodded, then continued, "Then we can only remind Miss Xu to protect her."

"As for the others, they can only pray for their own good fortune."

"Yes."

After Ning Qi agreed, he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he sat on the bed and began to regulate his breathing.

After a while, some noises could be heard coming from the attic.

"Master, it seems they've come down."

The spirit medicine also sensed the movement, and in a flash, it returned directly to Ning Qi's dantian.

"That's right, it should be healed."

Ning Qi nodded, then pushed open the door.

The two chatted for a while, and he took a break to adjust his breathing, and soon an hour had passed.

When Ning Qi arrived in the courtyard, he saw several people coming out of the bamboo house.

"Young Master Ning, it's already been refined for you."

After Zhao Zhirou came out, she went up to Ning Qi and said something.

"Oh, thank you."

Ning Qi agreed and quickly thanked him.

"Here, keep it safe."

Li Xinlian waved her hand and handed a brocade box to Ning Qi.

"Thank you, senior."

Ning Qi caught it with both hands and then explored the soul blood inside.

They discovered that there had indeed been changes within the soul blood.

“You can integrate into it now. My master is here too, and he can help you adapt.”

Zhao Zhirou looked at Ning Qi and said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately opened the brocade box.

"call."

Immediately, a powerful life force surged forth.

He was enveloped in a green light.

"This is……"

Ning Qi looked at the light before him and the drop of soul blood in the brocade box, and couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"Master, why does this feel more like a pill to me?"

The spirit medicine could also sense the power and difference of this drop of soul blood in his dantian.

"I feel that way too."

Ning Qi responded to Yao Ling's words in his heart.

"This disguise technique can change a thousand times; it is actually a combination of alchemy."

"This is actually a Thousand Faces Elixir."

Seeing his confusion, Li Xinlian smiled and explained, "After you take it, you only need to refine it."

"I also have a set of cultivation techniques here. Once you have refined the pill, you can use these techniques to transform into anyone at will."

“Senior, then this junior will give it a try first.”

Ning Qi nodded, then stopped hesitating and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

The pill immediately entered Ning Qi's meridians after he took it in.

They transformed into countless stars, becoming inextricably linked with every inch of his skin and flesh.

At the same time, Ning Qi could also feel that the power of this pill could completely merge with his internal organs and soul.

To be precise, he was integrated into it. Ning Qi tried to activate the medicinal power, but it was just a matter of his mind.

These twinkling medicinal forces began to change within his body under his control, and even his soul changed along with them.

"Good, not bad, it's completely fused together."

Li Xinlian also praised it, and then said, "Take this disguise technique with you and practice it well."

"Write down the names of your seniors."

While thanking him, Ning Qi didn't forget to put away the cultivation manual.

"Let's refine it in this room tonight and not waste any more time."

Li Xinlian pointed to the side room and then said to Ning Qi, "If there's anything you don't understand here, I can give you some pointers."

"Then, I will take my leave of you."

Ning Qi didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.

"Then I'll stay too!"

When Zhao Zhirou heard that he wanted to stay, she also decided to stay.

They clearly wanted to see how powerful this elixir was.

"Okay, you can stay, but you can't bother him."

Li Xinlian nodded, then gave a stern reminder.

"Master, don't worry, how could I possibly disturb him?"

Zhao Zhirou shrugged: "I was thinking that I could guide him tomorrow."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's hurry up and refine it!" Li Xinlian nodded, then gestured for Ning Qi to go back.

"Yes, senior!"

Ning Qi respectfully agreed and then went back to his room.

After he returned, he began to seriously study the mental cultivation method that allowed him to disguise himself.

"Master, do you think this will work? Something feels off about it!"

The spirit medicine had also come out and was perched on Ning Qi's shoulder, studying the cultivation technique with him.

"I feel pretty good, don't make wild guesses, just get some rest."

Ning Qi rolled his eyes at him, then continued to study the mental cultivation method.

The night began to fly by.

By early morning, Ning Qi had already fallen asleep.

"Master, it's getting late, time to get up."

It was Yao Ling who woke him up.

"Oh? So fast? I feel like I just lay down."

Ning Qi woke up in bed with a yawn.

A pair of eyes gazed at the sky outside.

It was indeed dawn, but it was still in the hazy state of the morning, clearly indicating that it hadn't been light for very long.

"Yes, Master, the people outside are already up, and I'm worried they'll come and wake you."

Seeing that he had gotten up, Yao Ling then began to explain.

"Okay, let's go out and check the situation."

Ning Qi nodded, and then walked out on his own.

He had just arrived in the courtyard when he saw Zhao Zhirou also come out.

"Young Master Ning, how is your cultivation of the mental technique going?"

Zhao Zhirou also saw him come out, so she smiled and came over to ask what was going on.

"Fortunately, I can change at will now."

Ning Qi smiled and said casually.

"Oh? So fast? Then show me how to do it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhirou immediately became interested.

"Okay, then I'll just look like Brother Lei."

Ning Qi nodded, and then began to change his appearance.

At first, his changes were very slow, but with Ning Qi's control, his figure and appearance changed.

Zhao Zhirou looked at him in front of her, as if he were a completely different person, and couldn't help but clap her hands.

"How about it?"

After Ning Qi had completely transformed into Lei Shan's appearance, he asked with a smile.

"Not bad, really impressive. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have been able to tell who you were at all."

Zhao Zhirou looked Ning Qi up and down and said, "Let me see your aura."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi didn't hesitate; after agreeing, he immediately unleashed his aura.

"Indeed, even his aura is exactly the same as Lei Shan's."

"Moreover, even when sensing your soul, I can't sense your original appearance anymore."

Zhao Zhirou nodded in satisfaction and then said, "That's really good, you're quite talented."

"It's not that I have high talent, it's that your master's pills are too powerful."

Ning Qi shook his head, not attributing the credit to his own talent.

In fact, it's really because of his high talent; otherwise, an ordinary person couldn't have mastered the technique so well overnight.

"That's something you can only do if you have talent!"

"I've also taken her pills, but I didn't recover as quickly as you!"

Hearing him say that, Zhao Zhirou shook her head and continued, "Alright, let's go find Lei Shan and see what their plans are for today."

"Oh? Don't you need to greet your master?"

Ning Qi suddenly realized something and quickly asked.

"No need, she went out early this morning."

Zhao Zhirou shook her head, then beckoned to Ning Qi: "Come with me."

"You went out early this morning?"

Ning Qi frowned upon hearing her words.

"Yes, I went out with my dad."

Zhao Zhirou nodded, then said again, "Alright, let's go and see what their plans are for today."

"Okay, let's go."

Hearing that she left with Zhao Yunze, Ning Qi finally felt relieved.

Otherwise, he would have really started to doubt Li Xinlian's motives.

After he agreed, the two left and headed back to the Zhao family's residence.

When they arrived at the mansion, they found Lei Shan waiting for them in the back garden.

"Brother Lei!"

Ning Qi called out to him from afar.

"Brother Ning, you're back."

Lei Shan heard him call his name and turned around to look.

Upon discovering that Ning Qi had returned, he hurriedly stepped forward to examine Ning Qi, saying, "Tsk tsk, not bad, you look exactly like me."

"Exactly, can this be changed at will? If it stays like this, I'm starting to doubt if I'm even real."

"Of course you can."

Ning Qi nodded, then instantly dodged away.

He transformed from Leishan's appearance back into his own.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

"It's truly amazing! Miss, your master is a miracle worker!"

Lei Shan was full of praise.

"Of course!"

Zhao Zhirou said proudly, "My master's disguise skills are unmatched in the world."

"By the way, where is your master?"

Lei Shan also seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask.

"I went out with my dad early this morning."

After responding, Zhao Zhirou continued, "You guys discuss the operation for the next two days."

"So that we don't find ourselves being watched without even realizing it."

"Since Brother Ning has taken on my appearance, I must also disguise myself."

"Otherwise, if they discover there are two of me, it will be troublesome."

Lei Shanxian responded first: "Then come with me to the outside world, and we'll discuss our next strategy at the entrance."

"Alright, let's go then."

Ning Qi nodded, and then prepared to leave with him.

Are you in such a hurry to act?

Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhao Zhirou hurriedly asked.

Clearly, she also wanted to go along.

"Miss, this operation is quite dangerous. You'd better be careful and not go."

"If you have any problems, we won't be able to explain it to the family head!"

Seeing this, Lei Shan turned around and said seriously.

"You underestimate me, thinking I'll be a burden to you!"

Zhao Zhirou said angrily, "I don't care!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Never mind her, let's go!"

Lei Shan shook his head, then invited Ning Qi to leave with him.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, then left with him.

They followed the path they had taken yesterday and headed together toward the array at the entrance.

Along the way, people would come up to greet Ning Qi from time to time.

Ning Qi then greeted these people as Lei Shan had suggested.

They eventually made it back to the entrance they had used the day before.

At this time, there were already some people waiting for them here.

Clearly, they were all Lei Shan's confidants.

"Commander Lei, Young Master Ning!"

"..."

When the crowd saw them come out, they all came over to greet them. (End of Chapter)
