Chapter 104: Chapter 93 Combat Power Soars (Seeking Full Subscription and Follow Subscription!)

The 1,800 volumes of Taoist scriptures are indeed very useful.

On the day when the disciples of the True Profound Sect descended the mountain, Luo Wentian escorted the True Inheritor disciples all the way to the outskirts of True Martial City, and they reluctantly bid farewell. ”Taoist Friend Luo, let’s part here. Someday, come visit our True Profound Sect, and we’ll welcome you warmly.”

The Taoist with the surname Ye from the True Profound Sect felt the enthusiasm of the True Martial disciples and smiled warmly.

Luo Wentian laughed and said: ”Certainly! I’ve long heard of the famous True Profound Sect, and I will definitely visit in the future!”

In recent days, the disciples of the two sects exchanged their teachings and skills, benefiting from each other, and had a good impression of one another. The disciples of the True Profound Sect were not arrogant, nor did they look down on the True Martial Sect for being ranked fifth among Taoist sects. ”Farewell!”

The Taoist with the surname Ye waved with a smile.

Turning his head, he was suddenly speechless.

Not far away, an old and a young figure were walking arm in arm; to be precise, the old Taoist was clinging to the young Taoist, whispering about something. ”Uncle Baishan!”

The veins at the temple of the Ye-surnamed Taoist throbbed, and in a raised voice, he felt his face burning with embarrassment. He didn’t need to think much to know that it was their own uncle trying to fool someone again, with words he had heard countless times.

Taoist Baishan impatiently waved his hand, then shamelessly smiled at Ning Qi and said: ”Little Ning Qi, you must come to Tao State for a visit sometime. Within three years, this old Taoist will surely reach the Celestial Being Realm—I’m not lying to you! At that time, during the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony, come, and this old Taoist will take you to look at some small Taoist scriptures first!”

Ning Qi was somewhat surprised.

The old Taoist usually wasn’t serious, but he spoke these words quite naturally.

He sensed the old Taoist’s aura, feeling it might actually happen, and couldn’t help but nod slightly. ”Make sure to bring the Little White Ape with you then!”

The old Taoist reluctantly waved as he was pulled away by the Ye-named Taoist with a darkened expression.

The group from the True Profound Sect departed into the distance.

Faintly, one could still hear the bickering between the old Taoist and the Ye-named Taoist, which brought smiles to the faces of everyone. Luo Wentian, familiar with Taoist Baishan’s antics, couldn’t help but sigh: ”Taoist Baishan is truly an amusing person.”

Ning Qi’s mouth curved into a smile.

Luo Wentian waved broadly: ”Let’s go, we’re heading back to the mountain.”

But Ning Qi shook his head and laughed: ”Senior Brother, I’m going to take a look at True Martial City.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Watching Ning Qi walk towards the direction of True Martial City, Ye Qinghe’s eyes lit up: ”I’ll accompany Jiu. You all head back first.”

Luo Wentian chuckled softly.

He thought it was a good thing. Ning Qi had always stayed within the sect and rarely went down the mountain. Now that he actively wanted to visit True Martial City, everyone felt gratified. ”Return early,” Luo Wentian only admonished. ...

This was indeed Ning Qi’s first visit to True Martial City.

He had visited the small town once or twice before, but now, after True Man Longshan’s Celestial Being Grand Ceremony, it had been rebuilt into True Martial City, which was much grander.

The eastern, southern, western, and northern gates subtly embodied the Four Symbols, with main roads extending in all directions, dividing the city into small blocks. For the citizens of the former town, this was beneficial, and many gained from the restructuring. ”So, what do you think, is this True Martial City impressive? I was one of the overseers back then. Jiu, you should have come to see it earlier,” Ye Qinghe eagerly introduced it at his side.

Ning Qi merely nodded with a smile.

He wasn’t here today for sightseeing.

He was here to find the Celestial Human Realm experts hidden by the Imperial Court.

If the Imperial Court sent experts to lurk around the True Martial Sect, then True Martial City was the most suitable place. If a strong member of the Demon Sect attacked True Martial Mountain, they could immediately offer support.

Ning Qi’s Silence Technique concealed his aura so that no one could detect it. Additionally, he reversed it into a powerful Perception Martial Arts, the results astonishing.

These past few days, thanks to the many Taoist scriptures sent by the True Profound Sect, Ning Qi found inspiration from a Taoist scripture on Wind Phenomenon and further developed his Perception Martial Arts, creating a Wind Sensing Chapter.

At this moment.

Walking on the bustling streets of True Martial City.

Ning Qi could sense the movement of the wind. An invisible breeze fluttered, brushing against passersby, and even the slightest aura he could detect.

Ning Qi stopped in front of a butcher shop.

The shopkeeper was a strong, muscular butcher with an open chest, barely suppressing his ferocity, forcing a smile: ”Little kid, want some top-grade black pork?”

Ning Qi smiled slightly: ”I’ll take a pound.”

Ye Qinghe was puzzled; there was plenty of Exotic Beast meat on the mountain, which was much better than ordinary pork, but she wisely didn’t ask more questions. ”Alright, here, take it!”

After Ning Qi received it, the two left, and watching their backs, the butcher was puzzled. He recognized these two as disciples of True Man Longshan, but why come to him for meat?

Could they have recognized his identity?

But even True Man Longshan didn’t know he was here; he was very confident in his Breath Concealment Technique.

Strange indeed.

He shook his head, not thinking much of it, assuming it was just a coincidence.

Ning Qi turned around, a slight smile on his face. With the recent close contact, he finally was able to accurately assess the butcher’s strength.

There was no doubt about it.

A bona fide Celestial Human Realm expert. ”Looks like the Imperial Court wasn’t just making empty threats.”

Ning Qi relaxed a little.

He was just afraid that the Great Yan Imperial Court would play with trickery and deception. If the Demon Sect truly came, it would be too much for the True Martial Sect to bear.

Next.

He and Ye Qinghe strolled casually through the city, stopping occasionally to buy or inquire, looking like a curious child. Ye Qinghe cheerfully explained everything to Ning Qi.

However.

Ye Qinghe didn’t know that during this process, Ning Qi managed to clearly identify the hidden experts from the Imperial Court within the city.

The Wind Sensing Chapter was used for a broad scan first, then any anomalies were carefully sensed; no one could escape Ning Qi’s Dharma Eye.

Two hours later.

Looking at the large and small packages in his hands, Ning Qi said with a smile: ”Senior Sister, let’s go back.”

On the road back to the mountain.

Ning Qi felt much more relaxed. ”There are three Celestial Human Realm, ten Primordial Core Realm within the city. It seems Great Yan places great importance here. Although the firepower attracted by Divine Feather Grand General and the Wang Clan is even greater, there’s no telling if the Demon Sect might strike unexpectedly, with the Imperial Court lying in wait.” ”I just don’t know if there are hidden Celestial Realm experts besides within True Martial City.”

Ning Qi pondered.

At least on the surface, with himself and his master, there are already five Celestial Human Realm combat forces. In this case, the Demon Sect would need to dispatch seven or eight or even more Celestial Realm experts to forcibly take this tough nut.

This possibility is not great.

The True Martial Sect doesn’t have that much weight.

And if the number of Celestial Realm coming is less, they could be easily blocked. ”At least during the time the Imperial Court Celestial Realm are present, True Martial Mountain is relatively safe. As long as the Fake Pill Technique is developed before they leave, it will be even safer.”

Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

This night, he ate two more pieces of pork.

In his previous life, he liked pork, but today, this black pork felt especially delicious. ...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeking Tao Institute.

The White Ape was cultivating Ape King Strength; after entering the Inner Essence Realm, he continued to cultivate diligently as always. Ning Qi also taught him the Sleep Dream Skill and prepared a Sleep Dream Pill, hence the White Ape’s progress was extremely rapid, far exceeding ordinary people.

As for Ning Qi himself.

He was in enlightenment.

With Taoist Scriptures unconsciously flipping through his hands, Ning Qi’s mind recalled the scene of the Divine Feather Grand General and the Cyan Bull Blade Master besieging Old Demon Lin. Strictly speaking, that was the only Celestial Realm battle Ning Qi had observed.

Not to mention that all three were experts on the Celestial Being List, their use of the Power of Heaven and Earth surpassed that of ordinary Celestial Beings.

Many parts of it inspired Ning Qi.

His research on the Fake Pill Technique was essentially about the use of the Power of Heaven and Earth, and that battle allowed him to draw analogies. ”After all, the Beast King’s Inner Core is an external object; if you want to replace the Primordial Core, you might have to take a risky move?”

Ning Qi remembered how, during that battle, Old Demon Lin’s body was maimed, with blood mist spraying, fleshy buds wriggling constantly, yet he remained ferocious in battling the two, which was astonishing. ”This is because the body has established some kind of connection with the Power of Heaven and Earth. As long as the Primordial Core isn’t shattered, the Power of Heaven and Earth floods back, no matter if the body is maimed.” ”If that’s the case, perhaps I can also try forming a connection between the body and the Fake Pill?”

Spiritual Light surged in Ning Qi’s mind, as if a great bell was tolling.

The biggest problem that plagued him these days was already solved.

The jade box in front of him opened automatically.

The Inner Core, shining with a thunderous light, floated up.

The Beast King’s Inner Core at this moment, after being cleansed by the Power of Heaven and Earth, appeared like a flawless purple pearl.

Ning Qi’s gaze was calm and resolute, as Gang Qi surged at his fingertips. He lightly slashed at his own heart area, the skin parting like fabric, with even a glimpse of the beating heart faintly visible, while the blood that wanted to gush out was locked in by the powerful body.

Then, he held the Inner Core, and slowly pressed it against the heart’s blood scar.

As the blood scar gradually healed, the Beast King’s Inner Core was also integrated into Ning Qi’s body.

Ning Qi immediately entered the Unity of Heaven and Man state, with the Power of Heaven and Earth surging around. He performed inner observation, seeing the Beast King’s Inner Core settle on the surface of his heart, yet not integrated into it.

Gang Qi began to vibrate and operate at a special frequency, with Dominating Tiger True Intent permeating all over.

Tiny blood-colored branches extended from the surface of the Inner Core and the heart, resembling blood vessels, which then entwined together.

In an instant.

Ning Qi’s body trembled.

An unprecedented strong feeling filled his entire body. ”Using the Beast King’s Inner Core to condense a Fake Pill, preemptively peering into the Celestial Being Realm, this method could be called the Fake Pill Co-Heaven Technique!”

Ning Qi opened his eyes, lightly clenched his fists, excitement in his eyes.

He felt that now, he was somewhat strong.
