Ning Qi once thought that if the old man who imparted the Emotion Extinguishing Swordsmanship to Old Man Mysterious Sword was really a mortal, perhaps only a mortal could master the Emotion Extinguishing Swordsmanship.
Therefore, he searched for similar posts in the All-heavens Forum to see if there was anyone in a similar situation as him. In the end, he really found a method.
Mortalization. Many existences above the Grand Heavenly Realm would adopt such a method when they encountered a bottleneck when comprehending some special cultivation technique or encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation. They would turn into a mortal and comprehend the mysteries within from the insignificant. Therefore, a mighty figure invented a type of pill — the Mortalization Pill.
。
After reading many posts about turning into a mortal, Ning Qi came to a realization. Perhaps the old man back then was a mighty figure who was in the process of turning into a mortal. As for Old Man Mysterious Sword, he didn't know that there was a path to turning into a mortal in this world, so he treated the old man as a real mortal.
Of course, this was only a possibility. As for the truth, perhaps only the old man who left behind the Emotion Extinguishing Swordsmanship would know.
Ning Qi spent a total of 300,000 Heaven-grade coins to purchase a Mortalization Pill. The Mortalization Pill had no grade because it was a special pill. However, according to the guy who sold it, as long as one was willing to mortalize, even a Taiyi True Immortal could become a mortal after consuming this pill.
After becoming a mortal, it would depend on one's comprehension ability when one could regain their cultivation. If one could comprehend the reason why one wanted to mortalize, one would be able to be ranked as an immortal again. If one could not comprehend it, one might really end up like a mortal, dying of old age, illness, or due to natural or man-made disasters. The reason why Ning Qi became a mortal was because of the Emotion Extinguishing Swordsmanship. In other words, if he did not comprehend the principles behind the Emotion Extinguishing Swordsmanship, he might not be able to regain his previous cultivation. However, if he did, he might not even need the Immortal Extermination Bow.
By killing a Grand Heavenly Realm expert, he would truly have the strength to protect himself in this world!
The risk was great.
The rewards were also great.
Bluestone Town. Half a month later, as Bluestone Town was located at the junction of several other big cities, there were a lot of merchants coming and going. Ning Qi, a new face, was able to blend in well with this place. Ning Qi bought the busiest shop along the street and spent about ten times the price of the supermarket to buy the original shop.
Only then did the fur shop's owner mercilessly hand over the shop to Ning Qi, and he took his family to the neighboring city to retire and enjoy a happy life. Ning Qi did not start selling furs again. Instead, he opened a blacksmith shop. Every day, the owners of the nearby shops could hear Ning Qi's half-closed door and the clanking sounds of iron forging coming from inside. A month later, the door was opened again, and the counter where the furs had been placed was now covered with a silver glow.
A flowing sword.
Since he had chosen the path of becoming a mortal, Ning Qi temporarily forgot everything in the past. The matters of the cultivation world had nothing to do with him. Even when he occasionally heard merchants talking about immortals gathering at certain places, Ning Qi ignored them.
He blended in very well with the role of a sword seller, patiently answering the questions of those who came to ask him about his sword. Ning Qi's sword was not an immortal sword, but it was still a rare top-grade sword among mortals. After the shop opened, there would be merchants passing by every day, bringing along a few swords.
Business was not booming, but it was enough for Ning Qi to get by.
"Little Qi, these are a few pieces of baked sesame seed cakes made by my wife. You haven't had lunch today, have you? Go ahead, don't stand on ceremony. "
The shopkeeper who sold silk across the street smiled as he walked into the shop with a few pieces of baked sesame seed cakes and placed them in front of Ning Qi. When his eyes swept across the swords that Ning Qi had personally forged, a hint of envy flashed across his eyes.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. He took the baked sesame seed cake and swallowed it in a few bites. Then, he smiled at Chen Asan and said, "The baked sesame seed cake is delicious. I think you can open another sesame seed cake stall. Business will definitely be booming."
Seeing Ning Qi's sincere praise, Chen Asan was also happy. "I can't bear for your sister-in-law to show her face in public. By the way, Little Qi, your sword-forging skills, was it passed down from your ancestors, or did you learn from someone?"
"I guess it was passed down from my ancestors."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
At this time, a strong man walked into the shop, his eyes bright and piercing. Seeing this, Chen Asan returned to the silk shop across the street with a smile.
"Are you the boss here?"
The strong man looked around and then looked at Ning Qi.
"Yes, sir. Are you looking to buy a sword? You can choose any sword here. One sword costs 20 taels of silver, no bargaining. "
Ning Qi smiled.
"20 taels of silver is very cheap …" The strong man was stunned for a moment. He was originally a famous swordsman in the neighboring giant city. Some time ago, he saw some high-quality swords in the hands of several merchants. He was curious and asked all the way to Bluestone Town. He didn't expect that these swords, which were of excellent quality in his eyes, were only sold for 20 taels of silver.
Twenty taels of silver, it was really strange.
Not long after, the strong man chose a sword and threw an ingot of silver worth 30 taels of silver. Without waiting for Ning Qi to give him the change, he strode away. In the next few days, Chen Asan often came to Ning Qi's shop. He didn't know why he felt comfortable when he saw Ning Qi. It seemed that standing at Ning Qi's side for a while made him feel refreshed. This feeling made Chen Asan find Ning Qi to chat with when he had nothing to do, except when Ning Qi was forging swords.
。
"My husband, the food is getting cold."
On this day, Chen Asan was chatting with Ning Qi as usual. He was so excited that he even forgot the time. It wasn't until a woman with a delicate face came into the shop with a three-year-old baby that Chen Asan remembered that it was time for dinner.
"Little Qi, you haven't seen your sister-in-law, right? Come, let me introduce you …"
Chen Asan introduced the woman with a smile.
The three-year-old was Chen Asan's son. Chen Asan was already over 40 years old and had a son in his old age. He loved his son very much and specially found a scholar to name him Chen Huan.
"Uncle Little Qi, can I touch these swords?"
Chen Huan's big eyes suddenly flashed.
Ning Qi smiled. "They are a bit sharp. Aren't you afraid of cutting your hand?"
Chen Huan: "No, no!"
He was not afraid, but Chen Asan was. After all, Chen Huan was his precious son. Ning Qi's swords looked very sharp, so how could he dare to let Chen Huan touch them? So he coaxed and lied to Chen Huan to take him away. Before leaving, Chen Asan invited Ning Qi to eat with him, but Ning Qi declined with a smile.
