Chapter 103: Chapter 92 Investment Master (Seeking Full Subscription and Follow Subscription!)_2

Ning Qi watched Luo Wentian and the others leave. He didn’t follow but started organizing the Taoist scriptures with several disciples, a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.

The disciples nearby respectfully called out ’Ninth Master Uncle’ and then began their work.

Ning Qi casually picked up a Taoist scripture that the True Martial Sect didn’t have and was engrossed in reading it.

The scripture mostly recorded insights gained by Taoist sect masters from understanding the heavens and earth, experiencing the mortal realm, or observing exotic beasts, which greatly inspired Ning Qi, providing him with plenty of inspiration.

For instance, many ’phenomena’ in his creation, the Myriad Phenomena True Gang, did not come from other martial arts but came from various Taoist scriptures.

Ning Qi was immersed in them.

Absorbing the nutrients within, he felt he had gained a lot.

An old Taoist with wild grass stuck in his hair came over, smilingly asking: ”Little boy, do you understand this Taoist scripture?”

Ning Qi glanced sideways.

He saw the old Taoist also wearing the Taoist robe of the True Profound Sect, but the pure white color on the other disciples turned almost yellowish-white on him, and it was wrinkled, the hairpin on his head was crooked.

Ning Qi retracted his gaze and said indifferently: ”Of course, I understand it.”

The old Taoist grinned, revealing his front teeth: ”Then let me test you.” ”No, thanks.”

Ning Qi’s unexpected response choked the old Taoist. ”Oh dear, you little boy, I heard those little Taoists call you Ninth Master Uncle just now, you must be True Man Longshan’s little disciple, how could you show such disrespect for elders?” The old Taoist was indignant.

Ning Qi ignored him.

The old Taoist scratched his ears and cheeks, finally finding someone pleasant to talk to, only to be ignored.

Seeing Ning Qi immersed in the Taoist scripture, he rolled his eyes: ”Little boy, do you like Taoist scriptures?” ”Yes.” ”Then how about I take you to find more Taoist scriptures?” ”Where?”

Seeing that Ning Qi finally lifted his head with a hint of interest, the old Taoist patted his chest and said: ”Of course, it’s in Tao State!” ”To be honest, I also like Taoist scriptures, but the ones in the True Profound Sect are particularly boring; you have to read other sects’ scriptures. Little boy, you like the True Profound Sect’s scriptures so much, probably fed up with the True Martial Sect’s, haha, this way, we are kindred spirits.” ”Sixty to seventy percent of the world’s Taoist sects are in Tao State, especially six of the top ten Taoist sects are there, including all of the top three.” ”Just imagine, if we plunder all these Taoist sects, you wouldn’t be able to finish reading the scriptures even in ten lifetimes!”

His chest pounded loudly, his eyes gleamed as if talking about some grand achievement.

Ning Qi was speechless.

Knew this rogue old Taoist had nothing worthwhile to say, there’s no reason to hold an ounce of expectation.

Rob those Taoist sects?

How could he even say such a thing out loud?

Ning Qi perceived that this old Taoist is strong, probably almost on the verge of stepping into the Celestial Human Realm, similar to Taoist Longshan before he broke through, but so what, the fifth-ranked True Profound Sect alone has three Celestial Beings.

Not to mention the top three Taoist sects?

Ning Qi gave him a sideways glance.

The old Taoist also glanced back: ”Little boy, don’t you believe in my strength, the Taoist Baishan?”

Ning Qi snorted through his nose: ”What is your relationship with True Man Bai He?” ”He is my junior brother!” The Taoist Baishan was very proud. ”Junior brother?” Ning Qi elongated the note.

The Taoist Baishan understood Ning Qi’s implication, and immediately got anxious. ”Little boy, don’t underestimate me! Though my junior brother has already reached the Celestial Human Realm, he doesn’t have a solid foundation, he’ll stop at that realm for life. But I’m different, let me tell you, I’m practicing an Unparalleled Secret Technique, accumulating over time!” ”It won’t be long before I step into the Celestial Human Realm, then I’ll soar into the skies, on the Celestial Being List, heading straight for Martial Saint!” ”By then, I’ll take you to plunder the Yin Yang Sect, plunder the Pure Sect, plunder the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and rob across all the top ten Taoist sects, lift you high!”

As the Taoist Baishan spoke more and more enthusiastically, he seemed to imply Ning Qi should cling to his coattails now before it’s too late.

Ning Qi looked down at his book: ”Oh.”

By the time you become a Martial Saint, I won’t even know what realm I’m in, will you still take me high?

The Taoist Baishan went crazy.

The True Profound Sect disciples counting Taoist scriptures up front all wore wry smiles, they heard the Taoist Baishan saying ’it won’t be long before I enter the Celestial Human Realm’ ten years ago, but ten years later, he’s still the same Taoist Baishan, not a True Man Baishan.

Now he’s even trying to deceive a little boy, but the key is the little boy doesn’t buy it.

They lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed even for the True Martial Sect.

Ning Qi chuckled to himself, closing the Taoist scripture, and asked: ”Why don’t you tell me about the situation in Tao State?”

Since the old Taoist is babbling around, he couldn’t concentrate anyway, might as well ask something practical, after all, the True Martial Sect will inevitably deal with Tao State when entering the world’s Taoist sect ranking.

The old Taoist instantly brightened up. ”You came to the right person!” ”Decades ago, I started scouting, there’s no one more familiar with the situation of those Taoist sects than me in Tao State, Tao State with many strong sect masters ranks in the top among the Great Yan Thirteen States. Let’s start with the top-ranked Yin Yang Sect. This Yin Yang Sect, let’s say, practices the Great Path of Yin and Yang and has the most female Daoists, hehe...”

As the old Taoist talked animatedly, spit flew around.

Ning Qi asked questions from time to time, finding it quite beneficial, the old Taoist’s incessant chatter seemed much more pleasant.

He also had a general understanding of the various Taoist sects in Tao State. ”The Yin Yang Sect practicing the Great Path of Yin and Yang, the Pure Sect skilled in Alchemy, the Spirit Treasure Sect adept in Artifact Casting, and the Heavenly Thunder Sect primarily practicing the Path of Thunderous?” ”Interesting.”

However.

During the period, the old Taoist would quietly inquire about the True Martial Sect’s situation, his eyes cleverly glancing around, leading Ning Qi to think.

This guy came to the True Martial Sect this time.

Isn’t he here to scout as well? ...

In the following days.

The Taoist Baishan would occasionally visit Ning Qi, saying that he only held Ning Qi in high esteem throughout the True Martial Sect, he even tried to coax Ning Qi into secretly returning with him to the True Profound Sect. Ning Qi indicated that it’s fortunate his master didn’t know about this, otherwise, he’d have a fit.

Ning Qi was browsing the newly acquired Taoist scriptures, excluding the duplicates, there were more than a thousand volumes of fresh material.

He felt he gained a lot.

Especially some of the rare editions, which provided him great inspiration; he felt that the time required to create the Fake Pill Technique would be significantly reduced, maybe he would succeed in several days.

During this time.

The Taoist Baishan saw the White Ape, eyes full of brilliance, exclaiming its intelligence.

He thought he needed such an exotic beast Taoist child to showcase his status. ”Little White Ape, the old Taoist will soon step into the Celestial Human Realm, then soar into the skies, on the Celestial Being List, heading straight for Martial Saint!” ”If you follow me now, you’ll be the first Taoist child under the True Monarch in the future!”

His words were full of allure, and he even took out Spirit Fruit from somewhere as a promise.

In response.

The White Ape bared his teeth, showing a fierce appearance.

He has immense respect and reverence for Ning Qi; if he didn’t feel he couldn’t defeat this old Taoist, he would have probably already revealed his Ape King true form for a fight.

Ning Qi laughed heartily, the Taoist Baishan looked embarrassed.

He became more determined to take Ning Qi away.

After all, this was a great deal, buy one, get one free.

Unfortunately.

Until the day the True Profound Sect left, he was unsuccessful.
