Chapter 126 Status Enhancement, Entering the Spiritual Energy Spring

When Xu Ning was in seclusion advancing to the Void Realm, Le Caiwei asked Xing'er to go find him.

But at that time, Gu Qinghe told Xing'er that Xu Ning was in seclusion.

Xing'er then brought back the news of Xu Ning's seclusion to study the secret manual to Le Caiwei.

Therefore, Le Caiwei knew that Xu Ning was trying to break through the Void Realm.

However, Le Caiwei initially had little hope that Xu Ning could successfully break through to the Void Realm.

She had been stuck in the Inspiration Realm for a long time, so she knew how difficult it was to break through to the Void Realm.

Even among true disciples, few can successfully break through to the Void Realm from the very beginning of their study of the secret manuals, let alone inner disciples.

However, the strength that Xu Ning has shown has given Le Caiwei a great shock.

"Not bad, I have advanced to the Body Forging Realm."

Xu Ning turned around and gave Le Caiwei a firm look.

Upon hearing this, Le Caiwei pursed her lips, as if her previous unease and panic had gradually disappeared.

For some reason, seeing Xu Ning advance to the Void Realm gave Le Caiwei a renewed sense of hope for the future of the Seven Fists Clan.

"Xu Ning?"

At this moment, Gu Zhiyin frowned and looked at Xu Ning.

He didn't seem to have heard of this name among the previous Seven Fists.

This Void Realm martial artist, who easily defeated Guo Yuechun, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"Junior brother, isn't it going too far to injure one of my Blade Moon Clan members right in front of me?"

Gu Zhiyin, holding a folding fan, stepped forward and helped Guo Yuechun up.

"Guo Yuechun attacked first; I was merely defending myself. What's wrong with that?"

Xu Ning faced Gu Zhiyin with unwavering confidence.

He knew that Gu Zhiyin was a True Qi Realm martial artist.

However, he had already cultivated both of his secret techniques to the third level, and they were dual-attribute secret manuals with extremely strong suppressive power at the same level.

Facing an enemy who was only one level higher than himself, Xu Ning was not afraid at all.

"well!"

Gu Zhiyin flicked her wrist and pointed her folding fan at Xu Ning.

Then, Xu Ning sensed a dangerous aura approaching.

He used his palm, which was filled with strength, to block.

"It's a true qi attack!"

Xu Ning felt a sharp pain in his palm.

However, this true energy did not injure Xu Ning's muscles and bones.

Xu Ning's strength also neutralized most of the true energy.

"As expected of a True Qi Realm martial artist, such power can be achieved with just a casual test."

Fire elemental energy surged within Xu Ning's body, and fiery breath nourished his bones and meridians, rapidly repairing his injuries.

After advancing from the Body Forging Realm to the True Qi Realm, the internal energy within the body undergoes a qualitative change, transforming into True Qi.

Once all the internal energy has been converted into true qi, a martial artist in the Void Realm can attack again without converting internal energy into force; instead, they can directly use true qi to fight the enemy.

The destructive power of true qi is several times greater than that of physical strength.

In general, martial artists at the Body Forging Realm would be overwhelmed if they relied on physical strength and true qi to fight, since these two types of power are not on the same level.

The reason Xu Ning was able to withstand the true qi test earlier was because his martial arts panel allowed him to reach his limit after leveling up, and he was also supported by dual-attribute secret manuals and two level-three secret techniques.

It was this accumulation that enabled Xu Ning to contend with Gu Zhiyin.

However, Xu Ning was also very clear that his opponent could not defeat him, nor could he easily control his opponent.

The differences between realms in the virtual world are greater than those between realms in the mortal world.

"Impressive skills!"

After testing the waters, Gu Zhiyin also stopped.

With just one strike, he could tell that Xu Ning had mastered at least one secret technique to the third level.

"Junior brother, would you be willing to join my Blade Moon Clan?"

Ignoring the previous pause, Gu Zhiyin spoke directly: "As long as you are willing to join the Blade Moon Clan, I am willing to apply to the leader to grant you unlimited access to a spring of spiritual energy!"

Unlimited use of the spiritual energy spring.

The temptation is just too great.

Among the Seven Fist Group members before this, only Xiao Qiyun and the four Five-Patterned Members had this qualification.

When Gu Zhiyin said this, Guo Yuechun, Ren Qingzhu, and even Shen Qiulun all looked grim.

The fact that Gu Zhiyin dared to offer such a bargaining chip shows that he has a very high opinion of Xu Ning.

If Xu Ning were to truly join the Blade Moon Clan, his status would definitely be above that of them.

By then, Xu Ning will still be someone they can easily manipulate.

Forget about getting enough resources; they might even be secretly driven out by Xu Ning.

When Le Caiwei heard Gu Zhiyin's offer to Xu Ning, she was initially taken aback, but she quickly seemed to calm down.

Her intuition told her that Xu Ning would not accept Gu Zhiyin's request.

Le Caiwei's guess was correct.

"Just a spring of spiritual energy."

Xu Ning smiled: "My Seven Fist Clan has four springs of spiritual energy."

Gu Zhiyin slowly suppressed her smile: "Are you really sure that in a few more days, your Seven Fist Clan will still have four springs of spiritual energy left?"

Xu Ning didn't reply, she just smiled.

"Good, that's confident enough!"

Gu Zhiyin flicked her folding fan: "Since you're unwilling to join my Blade Moon Clan, I won't force you. However, I hope you won't change your mind after some time!"

Gu Zhiyin had already realized that she couldn't sway Xu Ning's mind at all.

"Walk."

Gu Zhiyin gave Xu Ning a deep look and then went straight out the door.

In fact, Gu Zhiyin really wanted to subdue Xu Ning on the spot.

However, during their initial exchange, Gu Zhiyin felt that she might not actually be able to gain the upper hand in her fight against Xu Ning.

To be on the safe side, Gu Zhiyin chose to hold back for the time being.

This trip has already recruited many elites from the Seven Fists Clan, and the objective has been achieved.

Once the time comes, when his older sister, Gu Yishang, the leader of the Blade Moon Clan, personally steps down, all of the Seven Fists Clan's resources will be taken over one by one.

Seeing Gu Zhiyin leave, everyone else followed.

Xu Ning's refusal of Gu Zhiyin's invitation relieved Guo Yuechun and the others, but it also deepened their resentment towards Xu Ning.

The members of the Blade Moon Clan had left, leaving only Xu Ning, Le Caiwei, and the remaining seven or eight members of the Three-Pattern Clan in the pavilion.

"Xu Ning, thank you so much this time."

Only then did Le Caiwei completely relax.

After experiencing intense mental stress, Le Caiwei suddenly felt somewhat tired.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I'm a member of the Seven Fists."

Xu Ning replied that those words were quite sincere.

Even when Gu Zhiyin offered him unlimited access to a spring of spiritual energy as a temptation, Xu Ning remained unmoved.

He knew beforehand that the Sword Moon Clan was the Seven Fist Clan's old rival.

Even if the Seven Fists Clan disbands or is absorbed, Xu Ning will not join the Blade Moon Clan and defect to the enemy.

With his current strength as a Void Realm Martial Master, entering other inner sect forces would be a very easy matter.

Even if you don't join an inner sect, the resources you get by improving your strength through martial arts skills might not be much worse.

Moreover, with the Seven Fists Clan currently in turmoil, if I stay here and seize the opportunity, I might be able to get a share of the spoils.

Not only Le Caiwei, but also several other Three-Patterned Disciples who firmly stood on the side of the Seven Fists looked at Xu Ning with respect.

Although Xu Ning has only recently joined the Seven Fists Clan, his strength and sense of responsibility have already won everyone's trust.

Moreover, Xu Ning is currently the strongest member of the Seven Fists.

Even if Ning Xun returns, this identity may not change.

After all, everyone had just witnessed Xu Ning fighting against Gu Zhiyin, a martial artist at the True Qi Realm, without being at a disadvantage.

"Xu Ning."

Le Caiwei said, "You are now the pillar of the Seven Fists Clan, and you just protected our vital resources. Now, if you have any requests, please feel free to make them."

Currently, among the Seven Fists, Le Caiwei has become the most powerful person.

"I want to visit the Reiki Spring."

Xu Ning didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his thoughts.

He really wanted to go inside and see if he could enter and absorb the energy.

"Can."

Le Caiwei agreed to the request without any hesitation.

"You can go in and focus on your cultivation."

Le Caiwei said, "Within the spring of spiritual energy, there will be a bonus whether you are practicing secret scriptures or secret techniques."

"Although we don't know when the Blade Moon Clan will come looking for trouble, Xu Ning, you can just focus on your cultivation."

Le Caiwei's gaze was firm: "We will not sit idly by and wait to die. In the meantime, I will also see if I can bring in some helpers."

"it is good."

Xu Ning nodded.

"I'll take you to the Reiki Spring right now."

Le Caiwei felt the situation was urgent and didn't want to waste any time.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning did not immediately agree: "I would like to go back to my residence first."

Xu Ning had been unconscious for several days, so the Thousand Source Worm must have expelled spiritual energy crystals again.

However, the pendant containing the Thousand Source Worm was left in the room, and Xu Ning planned to go back first to absorb the spiritual energy crystal.

"it is good."

Le Caiwei continued, "After that, go find Xing'er and have her take you to the spiritual energy spring of our Seven Fists Clan."

Le Caiwei also had other matters to attend to.

"no problem."

Afterwards, the group separated.

Xu Ning returned to her residence.

-

Energy of 10 units detected. Should we absorb it?

whether

-

"absorb."

Xu Ning absorbed three spiritual energy crystals in succession.

With these 30 units of energy added, his remaining energy became 100 units.

When Xu Ning advanced to the Void Realm, he had already used up all his Pure Origin Pills.

Xu Ning now has no resources left to absorb energy.

Therefore, Xu Ning really hoped that the spring of spiritual energy would give him some surprises.

Xu Ning fastened the hidden buckle belt around his waist.

Entering a spiritual energy spring for cultivation usually requires staying for at least ten days, so Xu Ning carries the Thousand Source Worm with him at all times.

After tidying everything up, Xu Ning left the room.

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Ning seemed to remember something. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on Gu Qinghe's door again.

"You're back? How's the situation within the Seven Fist Gang?"

Gu Qinghe invited Xu Ning into the house.

"The situation is very serious, and the Seven Fists may be disbanded at any time."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"Is it that serious?"

Gu Qinghe was also surprised.

He shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "In that case, you'd better get out of the Seven Fists Clan as soon as possible. Anyway, with your current strength, I reckon any inner sect would be willing to accept you."

"I don't have that plan at the moment."

Xu Ning said, "On the contrary, I'd like to ask you if you'd be willing to join the Seven Fists Clan?"

"what?"

Gu Qinghe thought he had misheard: "Join the Seven Fists Clan?"

"That's right."

Xu Ning nodded in agreement.

"Are you kidding me?"

Gu Qinghe was very puzzled.

Xu Ning explained, "It's true that the Seven Fists Clan is in turmoil right now, but there's still a chance to turn things around. You joined the Seven Fists Clan during their low point, and if they stabilize the situation later, you'll naturally reap huge rewards. Even if you lose your gamble and the Seven Fists Clan is disbanded, you won't suffer any losses, since you're just a newcomer."

Xu Ning couldn't say he was 100% confident about the future of the Seven Fists.

However, if they can use the spiritual energy spring to improve again in a short period of time and have the strength to fight against Gu Yishang, the leader of the Blade Moon Clan, then the Seven Fists Clan will be able to stabilize the situation and maintain their position.

Xu Ning was willing to give Gu Qinghe this opportunity, as they had a good relationship.

"this……"

After hearing this, Gu Qinghe fell into thought.

Xu Ning did not disturb him.

If Gu Qinghe is unwilling, I will not force him.

"I'll listen to you!"

Gu Qinghe slapped his thigh: "I want to join the Seven Fists!"

"Okay, then come out with me now."

Xu Ning said, "I will find someone to arrange for you to join the Seven Fists Clan."

"no problem."

Gu Qinghe said.

Xu Ning knew that Gu Qinghe was a good person, and Gu Qinghe also knew Xu Ning's character.

Since Xu Ning gave me this advice, he definitely wouldn't be a liar.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took Gu Qinghe to Chunyue Courtyard No. 16.

Xu Ning first had Xing'er take him to the place where the spiritual energy spring was located, and then had Xing'er take Gu Qinghe to join the Seven Fists Clan.

at this time.

In front of Xu Ning was a circular pit with a diameter of three meters and a depth of about one meter.

A faint mist lingered in the circular pit.

Approaching this spot, Xu Ning felt a refreshing sensation in his chest and lungs every time he took a breath.

"Is this the spring of spiritual energy?"

Xu Ning discovered that white gas was constantly emanating from the bottom of the circular pit.

However, Xu Ning was certain that this was definitely not spiritual energy.

Because spiritual energy itself has no color, and this white energy stream is composed of tiny particles.

"I forgot to ask Xing'er earlier how this spring of spiritual energy was formed..."

Xu Ning walked to the edge of the circular pit: "According to Xing'er, the spiritual energy springs in the inner sect are all of low quality, while those in the true sect are of medium quality, and those used by the elders and some deacons are of high quality..."

"Now I'll see just how good this low-grade spiritual energy spring really is!"

Without further hesitation, Xu Ning entered the circular pit.

The moment Xu Ning entered the circular pit, he felt free spiritual energy entering his body.

After entering the Body Forging Realm, Void Realm Martial Masters can directly absorb spiritual energy to replenish themselves and then cultivate.

However, Xu Ning's aptitude was not good enough, so he could only rely on spiritual energy to meet his own needs and no longer needed to eat anything to replenish his body's requirements.

If one were to rely on spiritual energy to cultivate secret texts or techniques like other Void Realm martial artists, the efficiency would be too low.

Xu Ning wasn't too bothered by this. As long as spiritual energy could be converted into physical energy, his cultivation speed would be far more efficient than that of a conventional martial artist.

"I need to test this out and see how to convert the spiritual energy within the spring into real energy..."

Xu Ning stood in the middle of the spring of spiritual energy, closed his eyes, and began to sense and absorb the spiritual energy.
