65. Killer Queen~
Being approached by the protagonist, it would be false to say that he was not intrigued.
And it might be the first time he had a proper look at the protagonist. No, his 'stalking' didn't count.
"You are Ning, right?" Xiao Fan strode towards Ning, his previous exhaustion nowhere to be found. His pitch-black eyes scanned him up and down in a split second, indicating his proficiency, and soon his eyes snapped to meet Ning's.
"That's me."...

64. Official Meeting~
"Junior Brother, how long will your mission be anyway?" Liu Sisi inquired, her gaze shifting towards Ning who was fervently packing pills and talismans into his space pouch.
"To reach the Goldenrod City, it will take at least 20 days, so this mission will probably take a few months," Ning responded.
"That's so looong...." Liu Sisi sighed, swinging her legs as she sat on the bed, clearly discontent with the duration.
"I know. Senio...

63. A New Mission~
In the realm of foundation-building, one could master the art of voice transmission. So, within this realm, it was not uncommon for his master to call him in this way.
Ning arrived at the Spirit Flower Peak. After quickly ensuring that the plants were hale and healthy, he opened the doors to the alchemy hall.
As usual, Ling Huang happened to be performing alchemy. Red-colored beetles were thrown into the cauldron, occupying a small portion...

Looking at the spark of lightning flowing through his fingertips, Ning was happy. At least, he found it hard to keep the grin on his face from growing.
Lightning Qi: Acquired.
Ning played with his newfound ability, carefully analyzing it in the process, finding something peculiar. Channeling his lightning Qi, he noticed a streak of purple in the Qi.
"An advanced form of lightning Qi?" Ning mumbled, taking a d...

Under the rainy sky, Ning flicked his hand, and in front of him appeared a small plate.
On the plate were three grilled fish. They were the three Lightning carps he had found during 'his' chance encounter. They were said to greatly increase the chance of forming lightning Qi, even going so far as to directly condense it if one were lucky enough.
After finding that it was impossible to breed the fish, Ning naturally decided to eat the fish...

"Thank you for the help, Brother Ning," a middle-aged man said with a look of gratitude.
"There is no need for thanks. It's my mission, after all," Ning shook his head modestly.
After ferrying the souls present in the graveyard, Ning set his sights on other graveyards present all over the area.
For this, he took quite a lot of missions to roam around. Just like this one, he only needed to get rid of a blood-sucking loach that was ...

The mortality rate in this world was off the charts. It far outclassed the mortality rate compared to his previous life.
Each week, one or two disciples quietly passed away in the Pure Qi sect. This situation was not only prevalent in the Pure Qi sect but also all around the world.
In this world, where there were superpowered individuals who could refine the sun and moon and various beasts who competed with them, this high death rate was ...

"I could finally do some work," Ning sighed, looking at the empty alchemy hall.
For the past month, Ning had refrained from taking any 'unique' action. He already knew that he had already piqued the interest of his master with not only his unique talent but also his loot. So, it was unwise to continue to show his specialty any longer.
After all, too much of a good thing may not necessarily be good anymore.
So, Ning had been patiently bid...

Then, with another incantation, Ning spread out his spiritual Qi in the air, and suddenly, a gust of...

Patriarch Li Changsou was a distinguished figure in the Pure Qi sect, especially...

Pills, as his master had stated, constituted the second method. Therefore, there must be a first method, and Ning was not one to box himself into a singular path; he liked to keep his options open.

Ever since completing his hunt, Ning couldn't help but find some things increasingly strange.
The rewards were too abundant. Even though one had to face a foundation-buildi...

Unexpectedly, the Luo father and son were not there, and the guard present directed him towards th...

Due to the flood of memories and rapid expansion of his spiritual consciousness, Ning experienced mental overload once again, but unlike the other time, he forced himself to stay awake, so h...
