Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Chengyu’s study.
“Xu Ning.”
This was the first meeting between Feng Chengyu and Xu Ning after Feng Chengyu became the head of the Feng family.
As the female head of the Feng family, Feng Chengyu was now full of confidence.
“Family Head Feng.”
Xu Ning called her by her new title.
“This was all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been appointed as the family head so quickly.”
Feng Chengyu said, “Moreover, you saved Auntie Wei. Auntie Wei will remember this kindness, and I will also remember it.”
“Xu Ning, I promised you before that I would recommend you to the Yuelan Sect. Now the time has come.”
Feng Chengyu chose to fulfill her promise. “As a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect, we have a spot for the promotion of an outer disciple to an inner disciple every five years.”
“Now, I will recommend you to be an inner disciple.”
Feng Chengyu said.
After Xu Ning heard the words, there was a glimmer of splendor in his eyes.
As long as he entered the Yuelan Sect, he could obtain a void realm secret scroll and become a void realm martial artist.
“Actually, it is not accurate to say that there’s a spot for an inner disciple.”
Feng Chengyu explained, “After entering the Yuelan Sect, those who are recommended as inner disciples will be selected by the elders of the faction. If they are accepted as disciples by the elders of the faction, they will become a core disciple.”
“But whether you can be selected by the elders in the faction is up to you. I can’t help you with that.”
Feng Chengyu’s tone was even apologetic.
“Family Head Feng, you already gave me the spot of an inner disciple. I’m already very satisfied.”
Xu Ning expressed his gratitude.
Uncle Song on the side had a big smile on his face. He interrupted the conversation and said, “Xu Ning, this inner disciple position was given to you by the Family Head. Those clan elders were not willing to give this spot to someone outside the Feng family.”
“Uncle Song.”
Before Uncle Song could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Chengyu. “There is no need to mention this.”
“My apologies.”
Uncle Song apologized.
He knew well that it was inappropriate for Feng Chengyu to say these things, so he said them in her stead.
Xu Ning understood what Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song were implying, so he thanked them again.
“Also…”
Feng Chengyu said, “As far as I know, the environment inside the faction will be very different from the outside.”
“For example, concerning currency, the Yuelan Sect does not recognize gold and silver. It only recognizes Pure Source Pills. Without Pure Source Pills, it will be difficult to survive in the faction.”
Feng Chengyu said, “I have bought the shares of your Shadowmoon Martial Arts Hall, and the total of those shares amounted to 3000 taels of gold. I will exchange all of them into Pure Source Pills and give them to you.”
With that said, Uncle Song removed a large wooden box from the cabinet behind him, opened it, and gave it to Xu Ning.
The box was neat and tidy, and there were thirty dans that had clean, pure surfaces.
Xu Ning did not expect Feng Chengyu to be so caring.
Although the value of his shares was high, if he wanted to sell the shares, he would have to sell them at a huge discount. However, Feng Chengyu bought them at the cost price, which was actually a loss for her.
Moreover, she specifically looked for a channel and replaced it with the Pure Source Pills that he needed after stepping into the Yuelan Sect.
This was a kind gesture.
“Thank you Family Head for the Pure Source Pills.”
Uncle Song interrupted and “reminded”, “Although the Pure Source Pill can be converted into gold, there is no market for it. Obtaining 30 Pure Source Pills is all thanks to the Family Head’s hard work.”
“Thank you, Family Head Feng.”
Xu Ning took the wooden box containing the Pure Source Pills, then touched the surface of it.
—
Discovered energy 100 units, absorb?
Yes/No
—
‘The energy of a Pure Source Pill is 100 units?’
Xu Ning’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
‘This means that I have 3000 units of energy in my hand!’
‘Even if I set aside part of it for my expenses in the Yuelan Sect, there is still a lot left for me to absorb.’
‘As long as I can obtain a void realm secret scroll, I won’t have to worry about the energy needed to advance at all.’
“These are my previous promises to you.”
Feng Chengyu not only fulfilled her promise, but also made arrangements for Xu Ning to enter the Yuelan Sect.
“In addition to that, I wanted to give you a gift.”
Feng Chengyu said, “This can be regarded as your reward for saving Auntie Wei.”
Uncle Song took out a wooden box again.
But this wooden box was much smaller.
Xu Ning took it and saw that there was a book inside.
And the name of the book was called “Flame Breath Bone Sutra”.
“This is my Feng family’s most precious void realm secret technique, the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.”
Feng Chengyu explained to Xu Ning, “According to my elder brother and second brother, after entering the Yuelan Sect, although they would be taught a void realm secret scroll, void realm secret techniques and other resources can only be purchased through Pure Source Pills, or Yuelan Sect contribution points.”
“If you just entered the faction, you definitely don’t have such resources, so I will give you a void realm secret technique first, so that you can save some trouble in the future.”
“A void realm secret technique? Flame Breath Bone Sutra?”
Xu Ning did not expect that Feng Chengyu would give him such a gift.
Feng Chengyu had thoughtfully made all of the preparations necessary for him to enter the Yuelan Sect.
What she had done had obviously exceeded her promises.
“I appreciate Family Head Feng’s gesture.”
Xu Ning was a smart person. Feng Chengyu’s rewards had obviously indicated a desire for friendship.
She wanted to maintain a relationship between the two.
Xu Ning also understood that if he really became a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect, then Feng Chengyu would definitely receive returns in the future.
Her gift was an investment.
“If you go to Yuelan Sect, it is best to leave within half a month.”
Feng Chengyu said, “The Yuelan Sect receives new disciples two months before the demon slaying practice session. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year.”
“Later, I will give you a steed with the blood of a demon beast. You ride it to the Yuelan Sect, which will take less than a month. And before you leave, I will send someone to give you a certificate to enter the Yuelan Sect.”
“Farewell for now, I wonder when we will see each other again.”
Suddenly, Feng Chengyu said, “I hope you can become a core disciple and stand firm in the Yuelan Sect.”
“I will do my best.”
Xu Ning responded.
The two exchanged some small talk. Once that was done, Xu Ning left with Feng Chengyu’s gift.
After Xu Ning left, Feng Chengyu stood up and looked respectfully behind the room divider.
Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song then saw a figure slowly walking out.
It was an old man wearing a long gown.
When Xu Ning was in the room just now, Xu Ning didn’t notice the existence of this old man at all.
It was not that Xu Ning’s perceptive ability was too poor. It was rather because this old man was a void realm warrior in the Feng family.
“Chengyu, you have a good eye.”
The old man smiled with satisfaction. “That kid is indeed worthy of friendship.”
Feng Chengyu nodded and smiled upon hearing this.
She was very confident with her own vision.
“It’s just that Xu Ning is not an intention realm martial artist.”
The old man said, “He is in the mortal realm ninth stage: spirit realm.”
“Spirit realm?”
Feng Chengyu and Uncle Song were both taken aback.
Neither of them expected Xu Ning to hide his strength.
“So young, yet amazingly talented, and knows to hide his strength.”
The old man smiled. “I’m sure that within ten years, he will definitely be a deacon of the Yuelan Sect.”
Feng Chengyu did not expect the old man to be so optimistic about Xu Ning.
“You are much better than your father.” The old man looked at Feng Chengyu. “I’m relieved the Feng family is in your hands.”
…
A few days went by.
State Jifeng.
In the mountain ranges.
Between the mountains, the rocks and trees stood tall.
There were thunderous beast roars from time to time.
Xu Ning rode a tall horse through the mountains.
As long as he crossed this mountain range, he could reach the Yuelan Sect.
“Purr.”
Gray’s head popped out of Xu Ning’s pocket.
Gray was now completely acquainted with Xu Ning.
The two could even make simple conversations. Gray would even follow some of Xu Ning’s orders.
“What, hungry?”
After getting along with Gray for so long, Xu Ning had already figured out its habits.
Gray’s head nodded a few times, and he climbed out of Xu Ning’s pockets.
Xu Ning suddenly heard a few birds above his head.
Xu Ning looked up and saw a few demon beast birds.
They were at most in the mid level mortal realm, but they were very large.
Gray fell to the ground, and its feet bended as it jumped in the air.
Afterwards, it turned into a silver shadow, jumping tens of meters high.
Gray’s body hovered in the air, then its head suddenly expanded. After that, it swallowed the several demon beasts into its stomach in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, Gray steadily fell down from mid-air and into Xu Ning’s pocket.
“You’re such a glutton. What should I do after I bring you into the Yuelan Sect?”
Xu Ning pinched Gray’s neck.
After Gray heard this, it stuck out its tongue to lick Xu Ning.
Although he had just swallowed a few demon beast birds, there was no stinky bloody smell in Gray’s mouth.
In addition to worrying about Gray’s food sources after entering the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning was worried that Gray would be detected by the powerful Yuelan Sect warriors.
Once Gray was found, both he and Gray would be in trouble.
The horse continued to trot as Xu Ning looked at the mountain scenery.
Suddenly, Xu Ning thought of a solution.
“Gray, let’s make a deal.”
Xu Ning hugged Gray in front of his chest. “I’m afraid that you will be in danger after I enter the Yuelan Sect, so why don’t you stay in this mountain range for a while. There is food and water here, and it is very far from the Yuelan Sect. I can also come to see you at any time.”
Xu Ning knew that Gray could understand his words.
After Gray heard his words, its two big blue eyes looked around.
After a while, Gray nodded.
Xu Ning smiled. This way, he didn’t have to worry about Gray’s safety.
“Climb up to that mountain and live there.”
Xu Ning pointed to a mountain in the distance. “I will go there and look for you in the future.”
This was their agreed upon meeting place.
After hearing this, Gray nodded.
It also waved its paw twice in agreement.
After they walked out of the mountain range, Xu Ning and Gray parted ways.
Gray went directly to the mountain Xu Ning pointed at.
Although they were separating, Xu Ning and Gray had no sad feelings.
The Yuelan Sect was close to here, so as long as Xu Ning wished, he could come and look for Gray at any time.
Feng Chengyu once told Xu Ning that the disciples of the Yuelan Sect, whether they were outer, inner or core disciples, often went out to conduct missions.
When Xu Ning went outside to do tasks, he could pick up Gray.
One reason was to see each other, and the other was to provide security for himself.
Xu Ning had basically concluded that Gray was a void realm demon beast. However, he did not know what level Gray was at, nor why it was so infatuated with him.
‘Yuelan Sect, here I come.’
Xu Ning thought about entering the faction and began to look forward to it.
He was about to enter the Source Sect more than half a year ago, and now, he would be joining a different faction.
Xu Ning would be able to reach the Yuelan Sect as long as he walked through this dense forest.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, a cold light suddenly burst from the dense forest.
Xu Ning suddenly felt a warning sign blaring in his head and instinctively tilted his head.
The light brushed past Xu Ning’s cheek, drawing a line of blood.
‘I was ambushed?’
A murderous intent flashed past Xu Ning’s eyes.
He rode the horse quickly and chased.
At the same time, the wound on Xu Ning’s face began to coagulate, slowly healing itself.
In just a few seconds, the wound disappeared, leaving not a single scar behind.
This was all because of Xu Ning’s void realm secret technique, the power of the Flame Breath Bone Sutra!
“You!”
Xu Ning went straight through the forest and found someone hiding behind a big tree looking at him in fear.
“Why did you attack me?”
Xu Ning got off the horse. With a short knife in his hand, he approached the person slowly.
The man was in ragged clothes and had messy hair. Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as Xu Ning.
“It was a mistake!”
After seeing Xu Ning walking towards him with murderous intent, the person quickly explained, “I just heard the sound of a horse behind me, so I thought you were the killer who was chasing after me!”
“The killer chasing after you?”
Xu Ning was suspicious.
He was a newcomer here, so there was no reason for someone to try and assassinate him.
But even so, Xu Ning didn’t immediately believe this man’s words.
“I am a disciple who is going to enter the Yuelan Sect!”
Seeing that Xu Ning didn’t believe his words, the young man took out a cyan plate from his pockets.
‘A voucher for admission!’
Xu Ning took a look and recognized it.
This entry certificate plate was exactly the same as his own.
This showed that this young man was the same as him; he was not only a new disciple, but also an inner disciple.
Xu Ning put away his knife.
After seeing Xu Ning back down, the man was relieved.
He quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I really thought the killer was chasing after me.”
“Killer?”
Xu Ning cautiously looked at the surroundings, but he couldn’t sense any danger.
“I’m also a new disciple of the Yuelan Sect.”
Xu Ning revealed his identity.
