Chapter 245 Absorbing Attribute True Source

Three days have passed.

Xu Ning has already completed the Breakthrough Pill that Shi Chenghao entrusted him to refine.

"The Breakthrough Pill is ultimately an external medicine. Once taken, the foundation after the breakthrough will be very unstable."

Although it was his first time refining it, Xu Ning only used two portions of medicinal herbs and succeeded: "However, Shi Chenghao's martial arts aptitude is indeed poor. Without the Breakthrough Pill, he might have even less hope of breaking through."

Xu Ning had already prepared the breakthrough pills and was waiting for Shi Chenghao to come and collect them.

afternoon.

Cheng Zengtao arrived with Shi Chenghao.

"Brother Shi, the Breakthrough Pill has been refined."

Upon seeing Shi Chenghao, Xu Ning skipped the pleasantries and directly took out the porcelain bottle containing the Breakthrough Pill and handed it to Shi Chenghao.

With a broad smile, Shi Chenghao took the bottle and immediately opened it, inhaling the medicinal fragrance inside.

"Brother Xu, you've worked hard!"

Shi Chenghao expressed his gratitude.

Xu Ning simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

He felt slightly awkward being addressed as "Brother Xu" by Shi Chenghao.

Strictly speaking, Shi Chenghao might be older than Mi Xingye, his master in the Yuelan Sect, yet he was now addressing him as a brother.

However, Xu Ning also knew that the more prosperous a place was in martial arts, the more strength and status represented labels of identity and position, while labels such as age would be diluted.

"Brother Xu, you've helped me a lot, so I can't leave without showing my appreciation."

Shi Chenghao carefully put away the Breakthrough Pill, and then took out two wooden boxes from his storage ring.

The two wooden boxes were exquisitely designed and had strange patterns printed on them, clearly made specifically for storing things.

"I heard from Brother Cheng that you were trying to break through to the Origin Realm, but you lacked the true source of water and fire attributes. Coincidentally, my Shi Family Trading Company recently obtained two true sources of water and fire attributes, so I brought them over and gave them to Brother Xu."

Shi Chenghao handed the two copies of the True Source of Attributes to Xu Ning.

"Isn't this a bit too expensive...?"

Xu Ning was also somewhat surprised by Shi Chenghao's generosity.

He needed the true source of attributes, so he asked Cheng Zengtao to help him find it on the market.

Just two days after they started talking, Shi Chenghao brought over two copies.

Although he helped Shi Chenghao refine the Breakthrough Pill, the value of the two elemental essences was definitely greater than the value of his labor in refining the Breakthrough Pill.

Originally, Shi Chenghao owed him a favor, but since he accepted these two sources of true essence, he ended up owing him instead.

"Brother Xu, you're being too distant!"

Shi Chenghao laughed loudly and, without saying a word, stuffed the two portions of attribute essence into Xu Ning's hands.

Previously, Xu Ning had offered to help Shi Chenghao refine the Breakthrough Pill without asking for anything in return, which had already greatly increased Shi Chenghao's goodwill towards Xu Ning.

Moreover, he had already realized the value of Xu Ning's status as a Grand Alchemist, and this gift of attribute essence was also a gesture of goodwill.

"Brother Xu, please accept this. If my family's business has any more water and fire elemental essences in the future, I will keep an eye out and send them to you again."

Shi Chenghao had already learned from Cheng Zengtao that Xu Ning had condensed a total of six attribute seeds, one of which contained water and one of which contained fire.

Shi Chenghao also greatly admired Xu Ning's talent in alchemy and martial arts.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Xu Ning didn't refuse.

I do need the true source of attributes.

Although this kind of thing often appears on the market, it doesn't necessarily happen to be of the water or fire element.

Moreover, searching on your own is time-consuming and laborious.

"Brother Xu, I have already prepared a banquet at the restaurant. Why don't we go and have a drink together?"

Seeing that Xu Ning accepted the gift, Shi Chenghao extended another invitation.

"Next time."

Before Xu Ning could respond, Cheng Zengtao said, "Let's meet again after Xu Ning has absorbed these two elemental sources."

"No need..."

Xu Ning waved his hand: "Brother Shi's kindness is appreciated, don't let it go to waste."

Having just received such a valuable gift from Shi Chenghao, I naturally had to give him face.

"In that case, please."

Shi Chenghao also felt Xu Ning's respect, and then led the way out.

However, at the same time, Shi Chenghao also had a slight doubt in his heart.

He had already keenly sensed that Cheng Zengtao's attitude towards Xu Ning carried a genuine respect.

It seems that Cheng Zengtao is always thinking about Xu Ning in everything he does.

Shi Chenghao couldn't understand the reason behind this.

Afterwards, the three of them shared a lunch.

The ingredients and drinks at this luncheon were all exceptionally precious.

In one meal, Xu Ning actually absorbed 3000 units of energy.

"Sect Master, everything has been arranged at the manor; we can move there at any time."

After parting ways with Shi Chenghao at the restaurant, Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao returned to the Cheng residence together.

With no one else on the road, Cheng Zengtao began to report on the current situation.

"My uncle has also selected ten younger members of the family to follow us."

Cheng Zengtao said, "Moreover, among the disciples that Yanlu Sect dismissed at that time, I have selected the three most trustworthy ones and asked them to come to Guanghe County to rebuild the sect together. They have all agreed and I estimate that they will arrive one by one in a few days."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xu Ning also expressed his gratitude.

Right now, I'm just a hands-off manager; Cheng Zengtao does all the actual work.

"It's my duty."

Cheng Zengtao did not take credit for anything.

……

After returning to the Cheng residence, Xu Ning went back to his room and began absorbing the true essence of attributes.

He took out the wooden box that Shi Chenghao had given him and placed it in front of him.

"In some ways, the True Source of Attributes is similar to the Secret Treasure; both are treasures naturally formed between heaven and earth. However, compared to the Secret Treasure, the Secret Treasure is much rarer."

For example, Xu Ning's Wind and Smoke Gourd could absorb poisonous gas and miasma when it was first created. After being refined, users could control it at will.

Xu Ning tried to open the first wooden box.

"It possesses the power of restraint..."

Xu Ning didn't open the wooden box: "The seal is excellent..."

Then, he infused his Dao Realm power into the lid before finally lifting it.

A wave of heat hit me.

"Lava Crystal..."

Xu Ning recognized the contents of the box at a glance.

It was a fist-sized, fiery red crystal, transparent on the outside and crimson inside, as if flames were dancing within it.

"These lava crystals are said to only form in the craters of volcanoes where spiritual energy is particularly abundant..."

Xu Ning examined it carefully: "This lava fire crystal is actually just a carrier of elemental essence; the blazing energy pulsating within it is the true power of elemental essence..."

The true source of attributes is essentially a mutated condensation of natural attribute power in a rich spiritual environment.

-

2.9 units of energy were detected. Should it be absorbed?

whether

-

"Nearly 3 units of energy..."

Xu Ning naturally wouldn't choose to absorb it.

The 2.9 units of energy are merely incidental energy; the natural attribute power within them is the truly precious element.

After refusing to absorb the energy, Xu Ning then gripped the lava crystal tightly and began to guide the natural fire elemental power within it into his body.

"It's so hot..."

As the true source power within the lava fire crystal entered his body, even with the physical attributes of a Dao Realm Grandmaster, Xu Ning felt a burning sensation.

Fifteen minutes later.

Wow!

After absorbing the last trace of true source power, the lava fire crystal in Xu Ning's hand immediately turned into dust and scattered.

Within Xu Ning's body, the power of the Dao Realm and the power of the Fire Element True Source intertwined and condensed into a crimson sphere.

"This is the rudimentary form of the inner core. After advancing to the fourth level of the Dao Realm, the Core Formation Realm, it will transform into a true inner core..."

After sensing the changes in her body, Xu Ning opened another wooden box.

"These are moon lotus and water lilies."

Inside the wooden box lay a palm-sized, translucent blue lotus.

As the wooden box swayed, ripples spread across the surface of the moon lotus, making it appear as if the moon lotus was made of water.

Xu Ning touched it with her finger.

Another energy indicator: the lotus in this month contains 3.2 units of energy.

After refusing to absorb energy again, Xu Ning began to introduce the true source power from the Moon Lotus into his body.

Compared to the intense heat he felt when absorbing the Lava Flame Crystal, Xu Ning felt a refreshing sensation when absorbing the Moon Lotus Water Lily.

Finally, the true source power within the Moon Lotus was absorbed, and then it vaporized and disappeared.

The crimson sphere inside Xu Ning's body also turned half blue and half red.

"It feels pretty good..."

Xu Ning felt that his skills had improved significantly.

"The gradual advancement of the Dao Realm is essentially a process of pursuing the origin... It is said that when one reaches the pinnacle of the Dao Realm, one can become a part of the world's origin..."

"After absorbing the power of four more elemental sources, I can break through to the Origin Returning Realm..."

The Return to Origin Realm is a realm that can only be advanced upon after returning to the true source.

……

Several more days have passed.

With the help of the Cheng family, Xu Ning and his group moved to a villa in the suburbs.

This suburban villa belongs to the Cheng family and is extremely large, about one-third the size of the bamboo forest.

Currently, the Yanlu Sect only has a few members, and even with the accompanying guards and servants, it is more than enough to accommodate them.

There are some inconveniences in the city, but in the suburbs, you can do whatever you want.

However, the risks are higher outside the city compared to inside the city.

After all, martial arts combat is not prohibited outside the city.

"Sect Master, everything is ready!"

After moving to the villa outside the city, Cheng Zengtao was quite excited.

The reconstruction of Yanlu Sect has already taken shape.

"The young family members my uncle selected are already waiting. Would you like to go and meet them?"

Cheng Zengtao asked.

"Let's go take a look."

Xu Ning naturally had to meet these people, who were the first batch of disciples after the reconstruction of the Yanlu Sect.

Xu Ning himself also planned to select one disciple from among them as his personal mentor.

"Sect Master, most of these family members are born out of wedlock and have low social status, but their talents are not bad..."

Cheng Zengtao said, "The reason we didn't select any core disciples was to reduce unnecessary trouble."

"understand."

Xu Ning nodded.

The core young members of the family have high status and are frequently seen outside Guanghe County. Taking them into the family would indeed cause some trouble.

Then, led by Cheng Zengtao, Xu Ning arrived at a courtyard.

At this time, ten teenagers were already waiting there.
