The next day.

Xu Ning went to the Mission Hall in the inner sect.

The Mission Hall was crowded, but when they saw Xu Ning walk in, they all retreated away.

Xu Ning was now deemed as the strongest in the inner sect, so he had a great reputation in the inner sect.

With Xu Ning’s current strength, he could be promoted to a deacon, but Xu Ning felt that deacons needed to deal with too many complicated matters, so he still retained his disciple status.

Moreover, Mi Xingye had given Xu Ning a hint.

Although there had been no precedent of an in-name disciple becoming a sect elder, Xu Ning could still find a way to become a sect elder in the future.

“Senior Brother Xu, what mission do you want?”

The disciple in front of the counter asked politely.

In fact, Xu Ning hadn’t been in the sect for a long time, but because of his strength and reputation, the inner disciples who were unfamiliar with Xu Ning all called Xu Ning “senior brother”.

Xu Ning glanced at all the missions available and pointed to a mission plate.

“That one.”

Xu Ning selected a mission involving a spirit plant called the Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

This Cold Star Thorns Fruit was extremely rare. When refining precious high-level pills, it could increase the stability of the pill refinement process and increase the success rate of refining pills.

Not everyone was like Xu Ning, who had the help of a dao pill furnace.

Many alchemists would spend a lot of effort to improve their success rate.

The mission to find this fruit was not a personal mission, but a sect mission.

That was because only sect missions can provide no time limit.

And Xu Ning chose this mission to spend more time outside.

After entering the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning used the platform of the Yuelan Sect to obtain vast amounts of resources, and his strength kept improving with the more resources he got.

But now, there were fewer and fewer resources in the Yuelan Sect that could bring substantial benefits to Xu Ning.

The reason why he decided to go out of the sect with the excuse of going on a mission was to break through to the common seal realm, and to also see if he could find a new source of energy.

There was also another important reason.

Xu Ning wanted to return to State Feiyun.

Once Xu Ning advanced to the common seal realm, he would cross State Jifeng and return to State Feiyun.

However, before that, Xu Ning planned to go to the Bao family in the Crystal Mansion to see if he could find traces of the Wei family members.

It had been nearly a year since they were taken to State Jifeng, so Xu Ning was not sure if they were still safe.

If he could find them, Xu Ning would rescue them and find an opportunity to attack the Bao family to take his revenge.

After doing that, he would take the three of them back to State Feiyun.

“Brother Xu, your mission.”

With the help of the disciple, Xu Ning accepted the mission to find a Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

The reward for this mission was 500 contribution points, which was quite a lot.

But because of the uncertainty of the mission, no one had chosen it.

After leaving the Mission Hall, Xu Ning went to the Materials Hall to exchange for some basic materials, as these things might be useful after leaving the sect.

Xu Ning left the sect with the mission to find a Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

…

Yuelan Sect territory.

Xu Ning found a desolate mountain. He then found a cave and hid in it, preparing to advance to the common seal realm.

‘Now that I have left the sect to improve my strength, I don’t have to worry anymore.’

Xu Ning was ready to break through.

The common seal realm was known as the watershed of the void realm.

As long as he advanced to the common seal realm, he could become an elder in State Jifeng.

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel.

‘My energy reserves is at 32,370 units. Even after consuming 23,000 units to break through to the common seal realm, I still have more than 9,000 units left. This amount of energy can advance my four secret techniques from the fifth level to the sixth level.’

Xu Ning’s four secret techniques were gradually unable to keep up with his realm advancement.

In this continued, if Xu Ning did not use a dao weapon against a martial artist of the same realm, even if he practiced a double secret scroll, he would still be at a disadvantage in actual combat.

After thinking about the distribution of energy, Xu Ning no longer hesitated and began to break through.

Xu Ning tapped the “+” sign on the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Consume 23,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

“Yes.”

At the moment of confirmation.

The four qi currents in Xu Ning’s body instantly merged into one, forming a sphere.

The center of the air current was in a liquid state. The outer surface was covered with fog, while the inside was condensed with the properties of water, fire, penetration, cutting, annihilation, and corrosion. They had become one.

A strange pattern appeared on the surface of the air current.

These strange lines were the manifestation of Xu Ning’s attributes.

When Xu Ning and Chen Xiaoyi fought previously, these were the lines on the surface of Chen Xiaoyi’s punch.

Not only could Xu Ning apply the nature of each attribute, but he could also integrate all of them and display terrifying power.

In the future, the more Xu Ning’s secret techniques improved, the more complex the patterns would surface on the air current, and the more lethal it would be.

‘Is this it?’

Compared to before, Xu Ning’s temperament had become much more restrained.

The common seal realm was essentially an integration of the first six stages of the void realm.

All of the complex powers mastered by a martial artist would be condensed into one in the common seal realm.

Afterwards, Xu Ning consumed 8,000 units of energy, advancing his Water Cross Sword, Bright Fire Sword, Tidal Fist, and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the sixth level.

When the four secret techniques were advanced to level six, one-third of Xu Ning’s qi current had turned into a liquid state.

“I now have the qualifications to establish a sect in State Jifeng.”

Xu Ning felt extremely confident.

With the strength of the common seal realm as a foundation, coupled with his superb alchemy skills, Xu Ning could indeed establish a sect.

“Everything is ready, let’s go to the Crystal Mansion.”

Xu Ning walked out of the cave and rushed towards the Crystal Mansion.

Xu Ning wanted to save the people in the Crystal Mansion as well as take his revenge.

As for the mission of finding a Cold Star Thorns Fruit, Xu Ning was not worried.

…

Two days later.

Crystal Mansion.

This was one of the most prosperous cities under the Yuelan Sect.

The population, economy, and martial arts had all been developed vigorously.

“Crystal Mansion…”

Xu Ning arrived at the Crystal Mansion.

This was the first time Xu Ning had come here. The mine Xu Ning was in before was outside the Crystal Mansion.

After arriving at the Crystal Mansion, Xu Ning did not immediately seek trouble with the Bao family.

Although Xu Ning felt that no one in the Bao family could threaten him, if he went to the Bao family and killed that old woman and that strong man, the result would be terrible.

After all, the Bao family was the most powerful subordinate family in the Yuelan Sect, and they had a certain amount of influence even in the Yuelan Sect.

Giving the Bao family a hard time was the same as embarrassing the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning decided to figure out the situation of the Crystal Mansion and the Bao family first before making his arrangements.

Xu Ning first walked into a small restaurant.

The restaurant was in an alley, and there were not many customers inside.

Xu Ning found a seat, ordered some ordinary food and drinks, and enjoyed them.

Ever since he broke through to the void realm, Xu Ning had not enjoyed delicious food for a long time.

“Young Master Bao, you’re here!”

After Xu Ning drank a glass of wine, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper’s jubilant call.

Xu Ning looked up and saw a pale, skinny young man walking in.

“Young Master Bao?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

There was only one Bao family in the Crystal Mansion.

He looked at the person.

“Stop teasing me, what kind of young master am I?”

Young Master Bao shook his head and said, “Prepare five pounds of pancakes and half a pound of pickled vegetables for me to eat on the road.”

“Okay.”

Soon, the shopkeeper prepared what Young Master Bao wanted.

“Thanks.”

After Young Master Bao took the food, he handed over a copper coin.

Just when he was about to leave, he looked at the packed food and turned around.

“Why is there so much meat in here?”

Young Master Bao asked.

“For you.”

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

When Young Master Bao saw this, he quickly walked to the shopkeeper, took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, and stuffed them into the shopkeeper’s hands.

“No, no, I said, this meat is for you.”

The shopkeeper quickly refused.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was refusing him so adamantly, Young Master Bao placed the silver pieces on the table and quickly left.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

“Shopkeeper.”

Xu Ning called the shopkeeper over.

“What can I do for you?”

The shopkeeper quickly leaned forward.

Although the small restaurant was not big, it had served many customers over the years.

This shopkeeper was a waiter in his restaurant, so he had seen many people. He knew that Xu Ning’s status must be extraordinary, so he was very polite.

“Young Master Bao is a member of the Bao family who rules the Crystal Mansion?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Yes, guest.”

The shopkeeper quickly responded, “This Young Master Bao is called Bao Weijing, and his grandfather is the current Head of the Bao family, the ruler of the Crystal Mansion Prefecture.”

“Oh?”

Xu Ning had a strange look in his eyes. “But from what I see, Bao Weijing doesn’t seem to be a member of a big family, he seems more like a poor scholar.”

The shopkeeper sighed. “Although Young Master Bao is a member of the Bao family, his life is quite tragic. You are right to say that he is a down-and-out scholar.”

“Can you elaborate? I’m quite interested in this Young Master Bao.”

Xu Ning smiled.

“This…”

The shopkeeper seemed to be in a dilemma.

After all, he felt that it was inappropriate to talk about Young Master Bao’s private matters like this.

Xu Ning had obviously noticed that the shopkeeper was hesitating. Therefore, he took out a gold ingot and threw it on the table.

The gold ingot fell on the table with a crisp sound.

“Go ahead.”

Xu Ning said again.

“Speak, speak!”

After seeing the gold ingot on the table, the shopkeeper’s eyes widened, his breaths became heavier.
