"This fruit was picked up on the road …" Xuan Zijun felt guilty and subconsciously glanced at Ning Qi.
"Really?
This looks like a Spirit Fruit. I can even pick up Spirit Fruits on the road. How come Senior Sister hasn't encountered such a good thing after so many trips? "
Nangong Di looked suspicious and then looked at Ning Qi, "Junior Brother, you just joined the Great Development Gate. I believe you don't dare to lie. Where did you get this fruit?"
Xuan Zijun's heart skipped a beat. Then, he heard Ning Qi say, "Senior Sister, we picked this fruit up on the road."
"Phew ~" Xuan Zijun sighed in relief and blinked at Ning Qi.
Nangong Di had no choice but to believe that they picked it up on the road.
"This spirit fruit's type is unknown. We can't eat it randomly. I will go to Sha Lin Mountain and ask Elder Shen."
Then, Nangong Di left with the fruit.
"Junior Brother, thank you for not betraying me just now."
Xuan Zijun stepped forward and held Ning Qi's hand with a trace of gratitude.
Ning Qi smiled and didn't say much.
Soon, Nangong Di came back with a surprised expression. She told the two that the fruit was identified as a vermilion fruit and it was mature enough.
Eating one could increase one's cultivation by five years! "Five years of cultivation?
No wonder I reached the fourth level of the mortal body realm so quickly last time. "
Xuan Zijun suddenly understood.
Nangong Di called Leng Yue over and then called the other junior sisters one by one. Finally, each of them ate a vermilion fruit and slept for three days and three nights.
Ning Qi also got one, but Nangong Di said that he hadn't practiced martial arts and couldn't eat it. So, he gave his one to her for safekeeping.
Three days later.
Everyone's cultivation improved. Leng Yue was surprised and felt that her skin seemed to have become more beautiful. She kept asking Xuan Zijun where he picked up the vermilion fruit. She also wanted to pick up a few.
During this time, Senior Sister Wu would occasionally show up. Every time, she would look at Ning Qi with a cold gaze.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
During this month, Ning Qi basically didn't have the chance to leave the mountain, but he did find out some information about the sect behind the Grand Development Gate from Nangong Di and the others.
The founder of the Great Development Sect came from Mount Qing Yun. From then on, the Great Development Sect became the representative of Mount Qing Yun in the Jianghu. They were responsible for managing some of their businesses and would send a batch of pure gold to Mount Qing Yun every year.
This was a bit similar to the Pavilion of Many Treasures, but the Pavilion of Many Treasures was obviously being asked for protection fees, while the Grand Development Gate had a cooperative relationship with Mount Qing Yun. Although it was not completely equal, the Qing Yun Gate would never be too forceful. Every year, the Pure Gold would increase and decrease, and they never asked.
One month later.
Qi Xun returned to Cloudhouse Peak, but she was injured. The moment she returned, she went into seclusion and waited for another month before coming out.
After she came out, she passed on a set of cultivation methods to Ning Qi. This cultivation method might be of a higher level than the one passed down in the Ning Mansion, but it was still a cultivation method of the mortal world. Ning Qi naturally wouldn't cultivate it.
What he wanted was Spiritual Energy. Now, he was short of one or two thousand to gather ten thousand. He should be able to advance to the great attainment of the Foundation Establishment realm. After that, it would be the next big realm.
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, Master asked me to call you over."
One day, Xuan Zijun hurriedly ran over.
"Elder Qi Xun is looking for me?"
Ning Qi pushed open the door and said with a faint smile.
"Master said to see what level you have cultivated the Qi Developing Technique to."
Xuan Zijun pulled Ning Qi and ran. "Senior Sister, I have high hopes for you. You must have broken through to the first level, right?
As long as you have the first level, you definitely won't be chased off the mountain! "
Ning Qi smiled. With his means, it was very easy to simulate the aura of the first level of the Qi Developing Technique. Qi Xun was only at the later stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. As long as Ning Qi was unwilling, she couldn't detect Ning Qi's true cultivation at all.
The later stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and the later stage of the Embryonic Breathing Realm were at least worlds apart.
The two of them quickly arrived at the main hall. Qi Xun was already waiting there, and so was Nangong Di. There was also that Senior Sister Wu, who was currently attentively pouring tea for Qi Xun. When she saw Ning Qi, a hint of coldness that was difficult to detect flashed in her eyes.
"Ning Xuan, have you been cultivating the Qi Developing Technique during this period of time? You haven't been slacking, right?"
Qi Xun asked plainly.
"I have always been cultivating."
Ning Qi nodded. He had already made his preparations. The aura in his body had become roughly at the first tier of the Physical Body Realm. This was also the level that could be achieved at the first level of the Qi Developing Technique.
However, Qi Xun didn't make a move to detect his cultivation. Instead, she threw a jade pendant to Ning Qi.
"Take it and circulate your energy for me to see."
Qi Xun said.
Ning Qi was stunned. He immediately picked up the jade pendant and circulated his energy. There was no movement.
A glint of disappointment flashed in Qi Xun's eyes.
Nangong Di and Xuan Zijun's expressions also changed slightly.
Senior Sister Wu, on the other hand, had a smile on her face. The gaze that she looked at Ning Qi became increasingly cruel.
"So you are a piece of trash. After so long, you still can't cultivate the first level of the Qi Developing Technique. Elder Qi Xun won't value you at all. As long as you stay at Yunju Peak, see how I deal with you!"
Senior Sister Wu thought to herself.
"Although your martial arts talent isn't good, you can still cultivate at Yunju Peak because of the old relationship between the Ning Mansion and the Grand Development Gate."
Qi Xun took the jade pendant and turned to leave. She had no intention of personally checking Ning Qi's cultivation.
The jade pendant was specially used to detect the advancement of the Qi Developing Technique. Every elder of the Grand Development Gate would have one. Compared to direct vital energy detection, using it was more convenient and straightforward. Moreover, there was no risk. After all, when vital energy entered the body, if it wasn't controlled properly, it could hurt the meridians of others.
"Junior Brother Ning Xuan, don't be discouraged. I believe that you can cultivate the first level of the Qi Developing Technique."
Nangong Di cheered Ning Qi on. "When you cultivate to the first level, I will give you that Scarlet Fruit. Then, you will quickly reach the second level.
Good luck. "
She patted Ning Qi's shoulder and turned to leave.
Scarlet Fruit! Hearing this, the resentment in Senior Sister Wu's heart deepened. She looked at Ning Qi as if she wanted to eat him. If it wasn't for Ning Qi, she would have taken the fruit from Xuan Zijun.
Even if she only needed a few, as long as she ate it, her cultivation could break through again. At that time, even if Nangong Di and the others came to question her, she could pretend that she didn't know anything.
Based on her understanding of Qi Xun and Nangong Di, nothing would happen! But because of Ning Qi, she didn't get the fruit. Now, the last one was in Nangong Di's custody. She had no chance at all! "Little Junior Brother, Senior Sister is right. Don't be discouraged."
Xuan Zijun also comforted him.
Senior Martial Sister Wu chuckled as if she was talking to herself, "In recent days, the number of ghosts and monsters on Yunju Peak has increased. I don't know who they are going to look for at night …" Xuan Zijun's face revealed a trace of fear.
Ning Qi looked at Senior Sister Wu and smiled. "I heard that ghosts like to find bad guys."
"Hehe, is that so?"
Senior Sister Wu sneered and turned to leave.
"Little Junior Brother, I am afraid."
Xuan Zijun whispered.
"Don't be afraid. There won't be ghosts."
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
After nightfall.
A figure quietly approached Ning Qi's residence. Ning Qi seemed to be aware of it. He smiled and took out the Seven-Color Glaze Furnace and put it on the table. "Entertain the guest for me."
"Yes …"
