Chapter 204 [Attribute Seed: 0]; Goodbye He Mingye

"Xu Ning?!"

Upon hearing Deacon Jia's words, a terrifying aura instantly descended upon Gu Juan.

Deacon Jia's face turned deathly pale, under immense pressure.

But he didn't dare say a word to Gu Juan.

Are you sure?

Gu Juan stared intently at Deacon Jia, his face extremely grim.

Xu Ning's very presence was a great stimulus to Gu Juan.

Now, hearing that Fang Jie's disappearance was connected to Xu Ning, Gu Juan's heart was about to explode.

"affim."

Deacon Jia quickly replied, "I made inquiries in Yunying City and confirmed this information."

Gu Juan clenched his fist, the bones in his hand making a cracking sound as they rubbed together.

At this point, Gu Juan was almost certain that he suspected Xu Ning.

According to Steward Jia, after the Wei family descendant was rescued, he returned home safely and reappeared with Xu Ning by his side.

Therefore, there is a very high probability that Xu Ning was behind this.

Moreover, based on the calculation of strength, Xu Ning is now able to kill Feng Changge, so he must be at least at the True Domain Realm. According to this calculation, half a year ago, he was very likely already at the Tongyin Realm or even the True Intent Realm. If Mi Xingye had given him a Dao Weapon, then killing Bao Qiuhua would have been a piece of cake. Even if it was the other party, he might have been able to kill her.

"He's most likely the one who caused Fang Jie's disappearance..."

Although there is no direct evidence, this is too much of a coincidence.

Gu Juan didn't believe that such a low-probability event could happen at the same time, and that Xu Ning was indeed traveling outside the sect when Fang Jie disappeared.

"Steward Jia, you did a good job."

Gu Juan's voice was eerily calm, and even Steward Jia felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing it.

"This is all within my duty."

Deacon Jia immediately lowered his head.

Gu Juan glanced at him, then flipped her wrist, and a porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"Here's your reward, go back now."

Gu Juan tossed the porcelain bottle to Steward Jia: "Remember, don't make a fuss about this. Just pretend you know nothing."

"Yes, yes..."

Deacon Jia quickly responded, bowing and backing away. As if only then realizing what had happened, he stood still and said, "Thank you, Elder..."

Afterwards, Deacon Jia left the room.

Inside the room, only Tanijuki remained.

"Fang Jie..."

Gu Juan's gaze was icy; he knew very well that Fang Jie might have met with misfortune.

"Xu Ning..."

Gu Juan already disliked Xu Ning because of his hatred for her, and after this incident, he immediately harbored murderous intent towards Xu Ning.

"Even if it wasn't Xu Ning, he's definitely involved..."

Gu Juan was pondering how to learn about Fang Jie's situation from Xu Ning: "Xu Ning killed Feng Changge, so he must be a Dao weapon from outside the True Domain..."

Gu Juan's guess about Xu Ning was basically correct.

However, this speculation itself is flawed.

The news that Xu Ning killed Feng Changge is true, but the fact that Feng Changge advanced to the half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster has not spread widely.

Therefore, Gu Juan believed that Xu Ning's true overall combat strength was only at the peak of the ordinary True Domain Realm.

"I have been at the True Domain Realm for quite some time, and I am only one step away from becoming a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster. Moreover, I wield a Dao Weapon. If given the opportunity, killing Xu Ning would not be difficult..."

Gu Juan thought to himself, "However... my goal is not to kill him directly, but to capture him alive and extract information about Fang Jie from him."

Although she knew that Fang Jie might have been killed, Gu Juan still held onto a sliver of hope.

"It would be difficult for me to capture him alive by myself. To be on the safe side, I need to find some help..."

Gu Juan's eyes held a cold gaze.

He pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his sleeve, he walked out of the room and left Elder Peak.

Although they now had news of Fang Jie, Gu Juan did not heed Duan Qinghui's advice and inform him of the matter.

He had to keep his attack on Xu Ning a secret.

……

At this moment, Xu Ning was unaware that Gu Juan had already set her sights on him.

Even if she knew, Xu Ning wouldn't panic.

Now, he is not only at the peak of the True Domain Realm, but also has mastered the dual-attribute secret manual, and has cultivated four secret techniques to the ninth level. In addition, he has a Dao weapon arm guard. Even a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster wielding a Dao weapon would still be no match for him.

inside the house.

Bang!

Before Xu Ning, inside the alchemy furnace, a completely transparent and pure pill flew out.

Xu Ning took it; it was still warm in his hand.

"So this is the Heartless Pill..."

Xu Ning spent several days collecting ten sets of materials and refining them six times before finally producing the Heartless Pill.

"The difficulty of refining this Heartless Pill is truly immense..."

Although the Heartless Pill is an exclusive pill for alchemists of the Qi Sect, Xu Ning had already cultivated the Ink Moon Pill Scripture to the ninth level, yet he still failed five times before successfully refining it, which is enough to illustrate how difficult it is to make the Heartless Pill.

"We have four sets of materials left. Let's see if we can refine another Heartless Pill."

I have just refined a Heartless Pill and am currently working on it. If I could refine another one, it would be good to have one for future needs.

Then, Xu Ning threw another bunch of materials into it.

After another round of refining, using four sets of materials, Xu Ning refined another Heartless Pill.

"Whether it is orthodox alchemy or unorthodox alchemy, both are infinitely profound."

After mastering two different core alchemy methods, Xu Ning's understanding of elixirs themselves became increasingly profound.

"Now that I have mastered the Dao Realm techniques... what I need to do next is to upgrade the two new secret techniques to the ninth level, and then condense attribute seeds..."

Xu Ning had previously attempted to inscribe the Dao Realm.

However, surprisingly, this burning attempt failed.

It wasn't that Xu Ning lacked talent, but rather that this Dao Realm Method was a method in itself, not a martial art.

After Xu Ning thoroughly understood it, the Dao Realm Technique did not appear on the martial arts panel, but the martial arts panel changed.

Previously, after Xu Ning advanced to the True Domain Realm, the "+" sign after the Frost Flame Dual Source Codex disappeared.

This means that the Dual Source Scripture of Cold and Flame has been cultivated to its limit and cannot be improved further.

However, after learning this method of attaining enlightenment, the "+" symbol reappeared.

That section has now changed to "Dual Source Codex of Frost and Flame (Nine Levels of the Void Realm: True Domain Realm [Attribute Seed: 0]) + "

This means that Xu Ning has another avenue for improvement.

However, despite having a path to further improvement, Xu Ning faces another problem: he urgently needs a large amount of energy.

He also needs to learn two new Void Realm techniques and upgrade them from level zero to level nine, which requires more than 30000 energy units.

Moreover, condensing attribute seeds consumes 25000 units of energy per seed, and six seeds would require 150000 units of energy.

At this level of consumption, the process of constantly refining and selling pills to recoup losses would be extremely lengthy.

Xu Ning felt that 180000 units of energy was a resource reserve that only elders of the level of Mi Xingye, Gu Juan, or Yuan Cheng could possess.

As for himself, he certainly couldn't let Mi Xingye use all his wealth to help him advance to the level of a half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster with six attribute seeds.

"If there's really no other way, then we'll just have to trade time for energy..."

Although the process of selling and reselling the pills is relatively long, it is also relatively stable and can be considered Xu Ning's last line of defense.

Of course, Xu Ning hoped even more that he could obtain another large amount of resources to directly replenish the energy he needed.

After all, the arrival of people from Wansheng Prefecture is a huge potential crisis. Only by increasing our strength can we better deal with the uncertain situation.

"How about we go to the Misty Night Abyss first?"

Xu Ning's heart stirred: "If I could enter the Demon Beast Map again, perhaps Lord Xu Hu and Gray White could help me. After all, there are abundant resources inside that Demon Beast Map."

With this in mind, Xu Ning decided to search for an energy source inside the monster map.

However, before that, Xu Ning had to consult with Mi Xingye.

With his current high overall combat strength, he is already a core member of the sect. Now that the Yue Lan Sect has many affairs, Xu Ning will have to help deal with them if necessary.

In addition, Xu Ning also had to give Chu Yeyang the Heartless Pill to see its effect.

After that, Xu Ning also refined some pills, using up almost all the remaining raw materials he had on hand.

As Xu Ning stepped out the door, heading towards the sect's main peak, he suddenly heard a disciple say that He Mingye had returned to the Yue Lan Sect and was now in the True Inheritance Sect.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning temporarily changed his mind and decided to go see his long-lost senior brother, He Mingye, first.

Xu Ning walked towards the entrance of the True Inheritance Sect.

Soon, Xu Ning arrived at He Mingye's villa.

At the entrance, Xu Ning saw the young man and woman carrying swords from He Mingye's villa again.

Before He Mingye left, they were all at the Mortal Realm, the Inspiration Realm, but now they have all advanced to the Void Realm, the Body Forging Realm.

It's obvious that their promotion was due to He Mingye's guidance after his return.

"Senior Brother Xu."

The two were not surprised to see Xu Ning arrive; they seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"After Senior Brother He returned to the sect, he wanted to go find you, but after learning that you were in seclusion, he did not disturb you."

The sword-wielding youth said, "He knew that you would definitely come looking for him after you came out of seclusion, so he has been waiting for you in the villa."

Xu Ning smiled upon hearing this and said, "I understand."

Xu Ning walked into the villa.

At this moment, Xu Ning could already sense He Mingye's presence.

He Mingye has now advanced to the ninth level of the Void Realm, the True Domain Realm.

"Junior brother!"

After walking a few steps, He Mingye came out to meet him.

When Xu Ning arrived, he also sensed Xu Ning's presence.

"Senior brother!"

After not seeing each other for a long time, they smiled knowingly upon meeting again.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on achieving the True Domain Realm!"

Xu Ning clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Junior brother, stop teasing me."

He Mingye stepped forward: "Compared to your feat of killing Feng Changge, I, your senior brother, am far behind you."

He Mingye's tone contained no jealousy or envy, only a sense of delight.

"Senior brother, you've left the sect and traveled extensively. I wonder where you've gone and what you've gained?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I've traveled through most of the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei, which has tempered my mind and brought me great gains in martial arts."

He Mingye said, "Let's go to the backyard for a chat."

The two had something to say to each other.

Please vote for me during the double reward period!
