I Have A Martial Arts Panel - Chapter 180
Chapter 180: Pills That Can Break Through To Dao Realm?
Huang Zongshao was taken hostage by Xu Ning to their residence.
As soon as Xu Ning entered the residence, he knocked out all of Huang Zongshao’s subordinates.
“What’s the commotion?”
Xiang Nanchun heard the commotion and opened the door.
He then saw Huang Zongshao, who was controlled by Xu Ning, and the Demon Sect’s subordinates lying on the ground.
“I heard you are looking for me?”
Xu Ning looked at Xiang Nanchun with a smile.
Xiang Nanchun was taken aback. After seeing Huang Zongshao’s condition, he immediately reacted, wanting to escape from the residence.
However, Xu Ning did not give him this opportunity. He shot out a stream of true qi and Xiang Nanchun’s body immediately stiffened before falling on the ground.
Xu Ning grabbed Huang Zongshao’s neck with one hand and dragged Xiang Nanchun into the house.
“You are the alchemist invited by the Phantom Blood Sect from State Yanshui?”
Xu Ning casually sat on a soft chair and threw the two to the ground.
“You are the alchemist behind the Wei Trading Company?”
Xiang Nanchun pretended to be calm as he looked at Xu Ning.
“That is right.”
Xu Ning smiled. “I heard that the Phantom Blood Sect invited you to State Jifeng to refine a demonic pill?”
Xu Ning had received a lot of information from Huang Zongshao, including the demonic pill of the Phantom Blood Sect.
The reason why Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao to bring him here was to figure out the situation behind the demonic pill and the Phantom Blood Sect.
Otherwise, Xu Ning would have either directly killed these Demon Sect martial artists or handed them over to the Source Sect.
Xiang Nanchun did not answer. He instead glanced at Huang Zongshao first.
Obviously, Huang Zongshao had already said something.
Since this was the case, there was no need for Xiang Nanchun to hide anything. He was not a member of the Phantom Blood Sect. And since Deputy Sect Master Huang had already told him, he had no reason to insist on hiding anything.
“Yes, the Phantom Blood Sect invited me over to refine a pill called the Demon Blood Great Pill. According to them, after swallowing this Demon Blood Great Pill, one can break through the void realm shackles and advance to the dao realm.”
Xiang Nanchun said truthfully.
“Demon Blood Great Pill? One can break through the dao realm after eating it?”
Xu Ning was shocked.
There was not a single dao realm master in State Jifeng, or even State Hurricane and State Feiyun.
If someone could really break through to the dao realm, then it was possible to build a dynasty and rule over several states.
“Are you sure this Demon Blood Great Pill can really have such an effect?”
Xu Ning didn’t believe it.
“I don’t know, the Phantom Blood Sect is the one that invited me.”
Xiang Nanchun said, “I didn’t intend to go to State Jifeng to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill, but they gave me too generous of a reward. I also had a friendship with their sect master, so I agreed to go.”
“Tell me about the origin of the Demon Blood Great Pill.”
Xu Ning looked at Huang Zongshao. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, he must know very well. “Why didn’t you refine it in the past, but now?”
Although Huang Zongshao was worried about the Phantom Blood Sect, his life was obviously more important.
“The Demon Blood Great Pill’s formula was obtained by our sect master, Feng Changge, when he explored a mystic realm in an outer state a few months ago. After obtaining it, he began to use the power of the entire sect to search for materials and alchemists to refine this Demon Blood Great Pill. However, the refinement process of the pill is extremely cumbersome and difficult, so ordinary alchemists are unable to successfully refine it.”
“We had no choice. Our sect master sent me to State Yanshui to seek help from Xiang Nanchun.”
Now that he was at the mercy of others, Huang Zongshao explained everything.
“Hmm…”
Xu Ning was carefully sensing Huang Zongshao’s emotions just now, and he didn’t notice anything strange.
Huang Zongshao was probably speaking the truth.
The Demon Blood Great Pill that could allow one to break through to the dao realm sounded bizarre, but it should really exist.
If a beast tamer could leave a Demon Beast Scroll in State Jifeng, powerful masters from other states could also leave their legacy elsewhere.
However, although Xu Ning felt that Huang Zongshao was speaking the truth, he still wanted to test him.
“Are you speaking the truth? According to what you said, that mystic realm should have been left behind by a dao realm master.”
“It must have been left by a dao realm master.”
Huang Zongshao quickly explained, “Our sect master was only in the void realm ninth stage. After coming out of the mystic realm, he was already a half-step dao realm master.”
Huang Zongshao knew that the Phantom Blood Sect and the Yuelan Sect were mortal enemies. If he wanted to survive in Xu Ning’s hands, he must show absolute obedience and value.
“Half-step dao realm master?”
Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.
Xu Ning knew a little about the half-step dao realm. This realm was a step between the void realm and the dao realm.
However, Xu Ning did not know the definition of a half-step dao realm master, nor their combat power.
Before leaving the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning was not in the common seal realm. He had not been promoted to the high stages of the void realm, so Mi Xingye and He Mingye did not tell Xu Ning about the higher level martial arts system.
“At the half-step dao realm, one’s strength far exceeds the true domain realm. There are many hidden elders in the Yuelan Sect, and all of them are in this realm.”
Huang Zongshao also said some things that Xu Ning didn’t know.
“Oh?”
Xu Ning asked again, “Do you know what kind of existence a half-step dao realm master is?”
“I only know that a half-step dao realm master has already mastered the method to advance to the dao realm, but they can’t break through. I don’t know the rest.”
Huang Zongshao responded.
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning thought to himself. He planned to wait half a month before entering the Source Sect and see if he could find someone to ask and learn from.
After a pause, Xu Ning asked Huang Zongshao, “Did Feng Changge say what goal he has after successfully refining the Demon Blood Great Pill?”
“Um…”
Huang Zongshao’s expression froze.
But after seeing Xu Ning staring at him, Huang Zongshao said, “He said that once he advances to the dao realm, he will destroy the Yuelan Sect, the Thousand Flood Sect, and the other big sects in State Jifeng, building a martial arts dynasty.”
“Heh…”
Xu Ning chuckled, but he was a little afraid.
If this Demon Blood Great Pill really had the effect of helping people break through to the dao realm, then Feng Changge could really do that.
‘It seems that I have to return to State Jifeng as soon as possible and bring this news back…’
Xu Ning glanced at Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun.
This glance made their hearts tighten.
If Xu Ning wanted to kill them, the two would be powerless.
“Eat these pills.”
Xu Ning took out four white and blue pills that gave off a cold aura.
“These are… Frozen Seal Pills!”
Xiang Nanchun’s expression changed.
“As expected of an alchemist who was invited to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill, your knowledge is vast.”
Xu Ning said emotionlessly.
“Frozen Seal Pills?”
Huang Zongshao gave a pondering look before he finally remembered the effect of a Frozen Seal Pill.
Once a Frozen Seal Pill was swallowed, the person who swallowed it would immediately fall asleep.
If one couldn’t take the antidote within a certain time limit, they would die.
The reason why Xu Ning decided not to kill the two and let them take the Frozen Seal Pills was because he felt that they were still useful.
In regards to Demon Blood Great Pill, Xu Ning was a little worried about Mi Xingye.
Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun looked at each other with panicked expressions and hatred.
Huang Zongshao felt that if it weren’t for Xiang Nanchun’s condition, he wouldn’t have encountered this Yuelan Sect expert.
Xiang Nanchun felt that if Huang Zongshao hadn’t gone to find him and invited him to go to State Jifeng to refine that Demon Blood Great Pill, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“Eat or die.”
Xu Ning’s words were straightforward.
Xu Ning had refined many types of functional medicinal pills a while ago, and these Frozen Seal Pills were one of them.
“Eat.”
The two had no choice.
“You eat one, while you eat three.”
Xu Ning distributed the medicine.
Xiang Nanchun was only in the void realm fourth stage so one pill was enough.
Huang Zongshao was in the void realm eighth stage so Xu Ning was worried that the medicine might be too weak, causing him to wake up early. Thus, he let him take three pills at once.
The two looked hesitant when they received the pills.
Once they swallowed it, their life would be completely in the hands of others.
However, they had to eat it now, so the two swallowed all of the Frozen Seal Pills.
As soon as they swallowed the Frozen Seal Pills, Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun’s skin were instantly covered with ice crystals.
Before they could feel any chill, their consciousness completely fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Ning checked the two of them, then laid them flat on the ground.
Xu Ning had learned that their residence was rented from someone else for half a year.
For the next three months, no one would notice them if they were left here.
After doing all this, Xu Ning closed the door and walked into the courtyard.
Xu Ning looked at the fainted guards of the Phantom Blood Sect and did not hesitate. He took care of them all and wiped away their traces.
He didn’t know how much blood was in Phantom Blood Sect’s hands to have trained them to their current realm.
Coupled with the grudges between the Phantom Blood Sect and the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning showed no mercy.
After doing all this, Xu Ning secretly returned to the Wei Estate.
…
Half a month went by.
This morning, Xu Ning changed into a white robe and went to the Source Sect with Wei Xingfeng.
Today was the Source Sect’s conference, and all the big families in Yunying City would participate.
Not only could Xu Ning witness the graceful bearings of the Source Sect disciples, but he could also witness the true strength of the Source Sect higher-ups.
The Source Sect built a high wall in the center of Yunying City.
From the outside, the Source Sect was like a city within a city.
There were disciples stationed outside the Source Sect, and people came from all directions. They were either martial arts masters or members of the big families in the city.
“Family Head Wei, are we the only two here today?”
Xu Ning asked, “The other members of the Wei family are not participating in the Source Sect’s conference?”
Wei Xingfeng smiled and said, “They came early. You and I are both high-level void realm martial artists, so our status is different.”
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning nodded.
Afterwards, the two entered the Source Sect, and under Wei Xingfeng’s lead, the two arrived at a simple courtyard.
There was a sign outside the courtyard, Elders Hall.
