Perhaps the rays of dawn were a little blinding or perhaps she sensed something after being stared at by Su Zimo for a long time, Nien Qi's eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes, waking up slowly.
"Ah!"
When she saw Su Zimo smiling at her not far away, Nien Qi exclaimed and blushed.
Nien Qi stood up hurriedly and patted the dust off her body. She did not dare to look at Su Zimo and said shyly, "Ugh, I accidentally fell asleep."
"How long have you been here?"
The moment he spoke, Su Zimo realized that his voice had already returned to normal, gentle and warm.
"Three days," Nien Qi replied.
Su Zimo felt a warmth in his heart.
Three days ago was the moment his cave abode collapsed when he had just condensed his Inner Core.
He was a dual immortal and demonic cultivator. Even if he did not sleep for three days, it did not affect him and he was still energetic. However, there was no way a young lady like Nien Qi could withstand it.
Su Zimo said gently, "Go back and rest. I'm fine."
"Oh."
Nien Qi nodded and continued, "Master said that your cave abode is damaged and wants you to move to another cave abode."
"Master?"
Su Zimo froze for a moment.
Nien Qi said gleefully, "Senior crane has agreed to take me in as her disciple!"
"That's great,"
Su Zimo was genuinely happy and nodded, teasing, "From now on, your seniority will be higher than mine."
The old immortal crane was the strongest and had the highest seniority in the sect. With her personally imparting her knowledge, Nien Qi's future achievements were immeasurable!
"Don't worry, young master. My cave abode is right beside yours."
Nien Qi explained hurriedly, "From now on, if there's anything you need, feel free to call for me. Nien Qi will help you settle it, just like in Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop."
Su Zimo smiled. "From now on, we're from the same sect and there's no need for us to get along like before. “
"That won't do. If Young Master hadn't taken me in back then, how could there be Nien Qi today?"
Nien Qi shook her head and said seriously, "Young Master, no matter what realm Nien Qi cultivates to in the future, no matter what position I reach, I will always be your little handmaiden."
"Nonsense again."
Su Zimo laughed and did not take this matter to heart.
What he didn't know was that in Nien Qi's heart, these 'nonsense' words were a firm and unrepentant vow.
Su Zimo said, "Let's go. Take me to that cave."
"Yes."
Nien Qi nodded.
The two of them flew in the opposite direction on their swords, one in front of the other.
On the way, Su Zimo thought for a while and asked casually, "Did anything big happen these days?"
"Nothing much."
Nien Qi thought for a moment. "Many itinerant cultivators joined the sects. The Great Zhou Dynasty and the other four major sects sent cultivators one after another with gifts to express their goodwill."
Misty Peak had a Dharma Characteristic expert holding down the fort. Bathed in the flames of war and reborn, its rise was inevitable.
This change was naturally within Su Zimo's expectations.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and narrowed his eyes, asking, "Iridescent Clouds Palace and True Fire Sect sent people as well?"
"That's right."
Nien Qi nodded.
After pausing for a moment, Nien Qi continued, "Don't worry, young master. In the battle at Misty Peak, the Void Reversions of the other four major sects died. Genying Zhenjun, Perfected Jin Dan and countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators died. Their vitality is greatly damaged and they probably won't be able to recover within a thousand years. They won't be a threat to us."
Su Zimo remained silent.
Although the four major sects already had intentions of submitting, there was an irreconcilable feud between him and Perfected Being Cang Lang.
Perfected Being Cang Lang must have realized that the longer this dragged on, the less chance he had!
Su Zimo was at Extreme Foundation Establishment.
What sort of potential did Perfected Being Cang Lang have?
How could he compare to the growth speed of an Extreme Foundation Establishment?!
Before long, the two of them arrived before two cave abodes.
Nien Qi smiled. "This is it. Your cave abode is on the left and mine is on the right, young master."
"Yes, go and rest."
"Alright, call me if there's anything, young master."
Nien Qi did not decline – she was indeed too tired and only headed towards her cave abode after reminding him.
"Right."
Suddenly, Su Zimo stopped Nien Qi and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much do you remember about your childhood?"
"Ah?
A look of panic flashed through the depths of Nien Qi's eyes. Lowering her head, she stammered, "I-I can't remember. I've always been wandering around the capital of Great Zhou until I met you, young master."
Su Zimo looked deeply at Nien Qi and did not continue asking. Nodding, he said, "It's fine, I was just asking casually. Go on."
Nien Qi nodded. Not daring to look at Su Zimo, she jogged towards the cave abode behind her.
Looking at Nien Qi's back view, Su Zimo was deep in thought.
Actually, Nien Qi's background had always been mysterious.
Back in Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop, Su Zimo already knew about it.
It was not only because Nien Qi was born with divine strength and a shocking cultivation speed, but also because of a detail.
Back then, when the two of them met for the first time and Su Zimo handed Nien Qi some dry rations, the Night Spirit in his embrace actually took the initiative to lean over and sniff Nien Qi!
There were not many things that could pique the interest of the Night Spirit.
The dragon egg in the Dragon Bone Valley was one of them …
Of course, that alone was not enough to confirm that there was anything wrong with Nien Qi's background.
Most importantly, from the moment Su Zimo met Nien Qi, the latter was already 14 or 15 years old.
Now that four years had passed, Nien Qi still looked like a young girl!
Time did not seem to have left a single trace on Nien Qi's body.
That was impossible.
Unless Nien Qi was born with a long lifespan and four years was almost negligible compared to her long lifespan!
What sort of person, or rather, what sort of race would possess such a long lifespan the moment they were born?
A vague answer appeared in Su Zimo's mind.
That answer might not be accurate.
After all, there were countless treasures and rare fruits in Tianhuang Mainland. Nien Qi might have consumed some sort of immortal fruit or elixir in the past that resulted in her being born with divine strength and extending her lifespan.
The reason why the old immortal crane chose to take in Nien Qi as her disciple must be because she noticed something.
Of course, Su Zimo did not suspect that Nien Qi had ulterior motives.
Although Nien Qi wanted to hide her background, she was a pure and kind girl who did not have any ill intentions towards him or Misty Peak.
Who didn't have secrets?
Su Zimo had his own secrets as well.
He would not casually mention his demonic cultivation to others!
Su Zimo heaved a long sigh of relief and set the matter aside for the time being. He walked around and relaxed his mind before returning to his new cave abode.
Su Zimo was prepared to continue forming his core and condense his Jin Dan!
Right now, although he had cultivated his Inner Core and his strength had increased exponentially, he did not dare to use the power of his Inner Core recklessly in front of everyone to kill his enemies in his demon form.
He would only be considered a true Jin Dan Perfected Being if he entered the Jin Dan realm on the path of immortality!
Furthermore, Su Zimo was looking forward to what sort of Jin Dan phenomenon he would cultivate!
