Seeing Huibai rubbing his head against his clothes, Xu Ning felt an inexplicable warmth.
The way Huibai galloped just now let Xu Ning know that Huibai had been thinking about herself during these three months.
"Hui Bai, I'm going to perform a sect mission, you come with me."
Xu Ning groped his gray head.
Huibai heard the words, and consciously crawled out of Xu Ning's arms, nestling on Xu Ning's shoulders.
It was also at this time that Xu Ning realized that Hui Bai seemed to have gained a lot of weight.
It used to be able to get into his clothes, but now it can't get in.
"It looks like the food is good..."
Xu Ning flicked his gray forehead again.
"Let's go to Qinggu County."
Xu Ning headed directly to the southwest.
This time Xu Ning didn't ride a horse.
Now Xu Ning is already a Void Realm Martial Artist belonging to the Yuan Realm, and his speed is faster than a horse with the blood of a monster.
Unless taming a flying monster in the virtual world, Xu Ning's own way is the fastest way.
However, it is still possible to capture and kill the flying monsters in the virtual realm. If you want to tame them or form a partner with them, you must have special means.
There are precedents for this kind of relationship with monster beast partners like Hui Bai who are naturally acquainted with Xu Ning, but they are very rare.
Xu Ning galloped all the way.
With Xu Ning's current strength, it will take a few days to rush to Qinggu County.
Now that he has been promoted to the Void Realm, he doesn't need to take in special food, and with the help of free spirit energy, he can guarantee what his body needs.
"What's the matter gray?"
After galloping for a while, Xu Ning found that Hui Bai kept sniffing at himself, his expression still full of doubts.
"Are you surprised that my strength has improved?"
Soon, Xu Ning came to his senses.
After all, when I parted from Huibai before, I was only in the Mortal Realm, and after three months of improvement so much, it is normal for Huibai to have doubts.
"Speaking of which, what kind of monster is Huibai..."
When Huibai was in normal form, Xu Ning couldn't even perceive its power fluctuations.
"Let's see what level it is when the gray and white prey next time..."
…
Soon, six days passed.
Xu Ning arrived outside Qinggu County.
The sect's mission this time is to assist the Ling family in Qinggu County to wipe out a group of thieves outside Qinggu County.
According to the description of the task, that group of thieves suddenly appeared a few months ago, among them were masters of the Void Realm.
Since the appearance of that group of thieves, they have been making waves against Qinggu County.
They have led their subordinates to enter the city several times, looting supplies and people, and forcing the Ling family to give up their resources.
The Ling family of Qinggu County, like the previous three families of Feng Xiaoye in Chunlin County, are all subordinates of the Yuelan Sect, responsible for managing ordinary affairs.
It's just that in Chunlin County, the three families are separated, while in Qinggu County, the Ling family dominates.
The Ling family couldn't deal with the gang of thieves, so they had to report it.
When they reported it, the Ling family suspected that these people might be enemies of other forces, or they might be the downcast sects living here.
In Jifeng Prefecture, there are wars all the time, and many small sects can only be displaced after losing their base.
Xu Ning entered Qinggu County.
"It doesn't feel like being in Chunlin County at all..."
Walking on the street, although the population is quite large, the street is also full of shops.
But everyone's face seemed to be tired and lifeless.
Xu Ning suspected that this was caused by the gang of thieves outside the city repeatedly harassing Qinggu County, making the residents in the city live under the shadow of environmental turmoil all day long.
Xu Ning asked for directions on the street and found the Ling family mansion.
"Who are you? But you want to enter the mansion?"
When Xu Ning arrived at the gate of Ling's house, a guard asked him.
The guards saw that Xu Ning was carrying two swords and had an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he was not an ordinary warrior, so his attitude was very polite.
"I am a disciple of Yuelan Sect."
Xu Ning directly took out his waist card and showed it to the guard.
Hearing the words, the guard cheered up: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the Patriarch right away."
After a while, Xu Ning saw a group of more than a dozen people walking out of Ling's house and facing him.
The leader, who seemed to be over 60 years old, was wearing a gray robe, and when he saw Xu Ning, he was all smiles.
"True Qi..."
Xu Ning sensed that the aura on Ling Xuzong's body was a genuine state of true energy.
True Qi is nothing in the Yuelan Sect, but it is extremely rare outside the Sect.
"Ling Xuzong, the head of the Ling family, has met little friend."
Ling Xuzong's attitude was very polite.
"I am Xu Ning, an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect."
As he spoke, Xu Ning showed his waist card again.
After Ling Xuzong confirmed Xu Ning's identity, his smile became wider.
"So it's Brother Xu, please."
Ling Xuzong is dozens of years older than Xu Ning, but he still calls his brother: "I have ordered my servants to prepare a luncheon to welcome you."
"No need, Patriarch Ling."
Xu Ning declined and said, "I want to know the situation of the thief outside the door first."
Seeing Xu Ning being so caring, Ling Xuzong was also full of joy.
The sooner the troubles outside the city are resolved, the better.
"I also ask Brother Xu to follow me to the study."
Ling Xuzong personally led Xu Ning.
After arriving at the study room, Ling Xuzong told Xu Ning everything he experienced after the forces outside the city appeared.
After knowing everything, Xu Ning guessed that the gang of thieves, they are more likely to be wandering downcast sects.
"Brother Xu, our Ling family has been devastated by that group of thieves. Not only have our resources been lost, but two of the Void Realm Martial Artists in the family have also been injured by them. If you haven't come today, maybe in a few days, then The gang of thieves went straight to the door and wiped out our Ling family."
Ling Xuzong's tone was full of bitterness.
"Patriarch Ling, how many martial masters are there in the Void Realm of the Ling family, and what are their strengths?"
Xu Ning asked.
"Don't be afraid of brother Xu's jokes... There are three virtual-level martial artists in my family, among whom I am a true-qi-level martial artist, and the other two are cast-body-level martial artists. But apart from me, those two cast-body-level martial artists were seriously injured, and one of them was temporarily injured. I have lost the ability to move, and the other person is even more unconscious, and only I can still have the strength to fight against the enemy."
Ling Xuzong replied truthfully.
"Is that so..."
Xu Ning asked again: "Since a Void Realm martial artist was injured, does that mean you have fought against each other before?"
"Yes."
Ling Xuzong said: "That group of thieves, we have fought against each other a few times. But at the beginning, it was just a trial, and it was not until last month that we really risked our lives to fight once. As a result, the two Void Realm Martial Artists of my Ling family suffered serious setbacks."
"Among the gang of thieves, there are at least five Void Realm Martial Artists, and the strongest may be the existence of Yuan Realm."
Ling Xuzong's tone was somewhat tentative.
"so… "
Xu Ning nodded after hearing this.
If Ling Xuzong's information is true, then the enemy's strength is not strong in Xu Ning's view.
Seeing Xu Ning's expression unchanged after hearing the thief's strength, Ling Xuzong felt relieved.
This shows that this inner disciple named Xu Ning is very confident about his own strength.
"Patriarch Ling, do you know the exact location of those thieves?"
Xu Ning asked again.
"Know the approximate range."
Ling Xuzong replied.
"In that case, I'll rest overnight and set out tomorrow to wipe them out."
Xu Ning's words directly shocked Ling Xuzong's heart.
Tomorrow they will be wiped out. From Ling Xuzong's point of view, Xu Ning is very decisive in his actions.
"Then thank you brother Xu!"
Ling Xuzong was quite excited.
After finishing speaking, Ling Xuzong got up, took out a beautiful wooden box from under the desk, and presented it to Xu Ning.
"This is… "
Xu Ning opened the wooden box and found ten pure source pills lying inside.
"Brother Xu has come all the way here to help my Ling family, please accept it as a small gesture."
Ling Xuzong said with a smile.
"Then thank you."
Xu Ning didn't refuse, and just accepted it.
…
outside the city.
A barren hill.
A cottage is built with this.
In the cottage, there are figures who are constantly busy.
But if you distinguish carefully, you will find that there are two groups of people in the same cottage.
One of them was dressed casually, with a gangster look on his body, and was responsible for doing odd jobs and doing coolies in the cottage.
The other group, wearing the same clothes, but with strict discipline, directs the other group to work.
"Deacon Ding."
In a house in the cottage, a middle-aged man walked in.
He said respectfully to the bald old man in the seat above: "There is news from the county that someone from the Yuelan Sect has arrived at Ling's house."
"People from the Yuelan Sect are here?"
The bald old man known as Deacon Ding frowned: "The Ling family really asked for help from the Yuelan Sect..."
"Deacon Ding, people from the Yuelan Sect are here, what should we do?"
asked the middle-aged man.
"How many people from the Yuelan Sect have come?"
Deacon Ding asked.
"Only one, a young man."
The middle-aged man replied.
"Just one? A young man?"
Deacon Ding seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I guess it's a young disciple of the Yuelan Sect... It's easy to handle. If we encounter it in the future, we can solve it directly."
"You want to kill someone from the Yuelan Sect?"
There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the middle-aged man, who was obviously afraid of the Yuelan Sect.
"The Yuelan Sect is indeed a colossus, but we don't stay here permanently. Let's loot the Ling family, then leave here, and escape from the range of the Yuelan Sect."
Deacon Ding said: "After meeting with the Young Sect Master, we will rebuild the sect from another place and completely get rid of the suffering of being displaced."
Having said that, Deacon Ding sighed.
Since the sect was destroyed, several groups of people scattered and fled. They have been occupying the magpie's nest, occupying the territory of the horse bandits, and sustaining themselves by looting resources.
"By the way, young suzerain and the others, when will they be able to arrive in Qinggu County?"
Deacon Ding asked.
"Probably tomorrow or the day after."
The middle-aged man said.
"So fast?"
A look of thought appeared in Deacon Ding's eyes.
He tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and after a while, there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
"In that case, let's rob the Ling family tonight."
Deacon Ding made the final decision: "After obtaining the resources, we will leave here directly when the Suzerain Rishao arrives tomorrow."
"Go and arrange the manpower."
Deacon Ding waved his hand.
The middle-aged man obviously wanted to dissuade him, but seeing Deacon Ding's firm attitude, he finally chose to obey.
…
late at night.
Xu Ning sat cross-legged in the room.
At this time, Xu Ning had just absorbed the ten pure source pills gifted by Ling Xuzong.
Another 1000 units of energy are in hand.
Now Xu Ning's energy unit is 1250.
Before leaving the sect, Xu Ning consumed a total of 600 units of energy to upgrade the Yueshui sword and Yinghuo sword to the second floor at the same time. Therefore, the energy exchanged for the pure source pill borrowed from Gu Qinghe at that time was left Down 200.
In the past ten days, the thousand source insects released five spiritual crystals, contributing 50 units of energy.
Add this latest 1000 units and the remaining energy becomes 1250.
"The energy of 1250 units is just enough for me to upgrade the Yueshui Sword and Yinghuo Sword to the third floor at the same time."
Xu Ning didn't hesitate, and directly opened the martial arts panel.
—
Name: Xu Ning
Martial arts:
Cold Flame Dual Origin Code (Triple Illusory Realm: Belonging to Yuan Realm)+
Tidal Fist (four layers) +
Flame-breathing bone meridian (four layers)+
Sword of Yueshui (second floor)+
Yinghuo Sword (Second Floor)+
Available energy: 1250 units
—
Afterwards, Xu Ning clicked the "+" behind the Yueshui Sword and Yinghuo Sword respectively.
After consuming 1200 units of energy, the Yueshui Sword and Yinghuo Sword were upgraded to the third floor.
"Although the Yueshui Sword and the Yinghuo Sword both have three layers, but the two swords cooperate, the lethality should not be worse than my current four-layer Tidal Fist."
"Furthermore, if the two swordsmanship is upgraded to the fourth level, I can even integrate the understanding and application of the Tidal Fist with it. By then, the power of the two swordsmanship will be even higher!"
Xu Ning thought to himself.
At this time, Huibai came up.
Facing the moonlight, his gray hair shines silvery white.
"Hui Bai, you may not be my opponent now."
Xu Ning said with a smile.
Now that Xu Ning has figured out Huibai's strength, it should be a mid-level monster in the Void Realm.
It's just that Xu Ning still hasn't figured out the variety of gray and white, and has no way of knowing where the upper limit of gray and white is, and what it will grow in the future.
"Guibai should be just a young monster now... in the young period, it was a middle-level Void Realm, so how strong is the adult body? Above the Void Realm?"
Xu Ning is looking forward to Gray's growth.
But to really witness the gray and white mature body, it may take decades or even longer.
Because the growth cycle of monsters is much longer than that of humans.
Just when Xu Ning was imagining the scene of gray and white growing up, suddenly, one man and one beast, their eyes froze at the same time.
They all sensed the danger.
"The Ling Family has Void Realm Martial Artists approaching!"
Xu Ning directly put the two swords on the table on his back.
Huibai also nestled on Xu Ning's shoulder, his eyes were cold.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a thief outside the city."
Xu Ning went out directly to find Ling Xuzong.
"The sound of fighting!"
Outside Ling Xuzong's courtyard, Xu Ning has already sensed that some thieves are already fighting Ling Xuzong.
Xu Ning stepped across the courtyard wall, and there was a black-clothed Void Realm martial artist fighting with Ling Xuzong.
Both of them are True Qi Realm Martial Artists, and when they fought, the entire courtyard was messed up.
Seeing this, Xu Ning was about to draw his sword and stepped forward to help.
However, the next moment, Xu Ning heard a low whimper from the gray throat on his shoulder.
Xu Ning subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a touch of silver appearing in the gray pupils.
Then there was a bang, and the head of the Void Realm Martial Artist who fought against Ling Xuzong suddenly shattered like a watermelon that had been hammered.
"Is this Huibai's ability?"
Xu Ning showed a look of surprise.
