Strength Soared

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.

Drops of Gang Qi Jade Liquid condensed and dripped into the boundless space of the Dantian.

In the blink of an eye, it formed a small pond.

But above the "small pond" was a vast and boundless White Mist, and even more White Mist was continuously emanating from Ning Qi's body.

It is foreseeable.

This transformation will not be completed in a short period of time.

The heavy snow, like goose feathers, gradually covered the peach trees outside the courtyard. Ning Qi stood quietly, but the snowflakes seemed to have a spirit, bypassing Ning Qi and forming a small snow vacuum.

When the White Ape returned from playing and saw this scene, it spontaneously became Ning Qi's protector.

In reality, Ning Qi doesn't need it.

The ascension to the Jade Liquid Elixir stage was a natural and inevitable outcome.

He can start at any time, and he can stop at any time.

This transformation took three days.

The heavy snow had long since stopped, and the changes within Ning Qi's body had reached their final moment.

As the last wisp of White Mist condensed into Jade Liquid and dripped into the Jade Liquid sea below, Ning Qi's entire body trembled, and a series of strange changes began to occur. The jade Jade Liquid sea within his body, which had been calm, began to churn, with each wave carrying surging power.

Ning Qi felt that his physical body was becoming stronger and his vitality was becoming more vigorous.

He could sense that his the Unseen seemed to have increased again, which was somewhat unbelievable. After all, ordinary martial artists, whether they were using the White Mist, Jade Liquid, or Yuan Pill, all belonged to the Gang Essence Realm and had a lifespan of four hundred years.

But he has already gone far beyond that scope.

As his mind raced, flashes of inspiration would emerge, the most direct manifestation of which was that each time his life essence was enhanced, the upper limit of his comprehension would rise again.

Ning Qi opened his eyes and smiled and nodded at the White Ape.

Then I focused on my own changes.

"It's so much better than before!"

He casually clenched his fist, and the power of the Jade Liquid Sea within his body erupted, giving rise to a sensation that seemed to shake the void.

This transformation once again unearthed a great deal of potential in Ning Qi's physical body, causing not only a qualitative change in Ning Qi's Gang Qi, but also a quantity that far exceeded expectations. If other people's Jade Liquid was just a small pond, Ning Qi's was an ocean, the difference was unbelievable.

"Right now, with just the power of Gang Qi inner energy, I should be able to contend with the experts on the Celestial Person Ranking, shouldn't I?"

Ning Qi compared the several Celestial Person Ranking level experts he had encountered before.

General Shenyu, Qingniu Daoke, Lin Old Devil, the unknown elder, and the Zhenbei King.

He felt that even without reaching the state of Celestial Person, he was capable of contending with, or even defeating, the top four.

"As for the Prince of Zhenbei... it's hard to judge. He didn't go all out that day. Now, if I use all my abilities, I don't know if I can contend with him?"

Ning Qi's eyes flashed.

He estimated that his current combat strength should be between the top ten and twenty on the Celestial Person Ranking. It was difficult to measure precisely because the sample size was too small, and Ning Qi had many methods, making it hard to judge.

But without a doubt.

Such strength.

Having already reached the pinnacle of the Great Flame, few could pose a threat to Ning Qi's life unless Martial Saint appeared.

Ning Qi's long-standing sense of crisis suddenly lessened considerably.

Although the Demon Sect has temporarily ceased its activities, Ning Qi dares not completely relax. If the Demon Sect were to make a comeback, the power of the fake core alone would be far from sufficient. However, things are much better now. Even if there are peerless experts of the Demon Sect Sect's caliber, they are not many.

Moreover, he will continue to grow.

"If I were to reach the Yuan Pill Realm, I might be invincible among the Celestial Person," Ning Qi with some anticipation.

The next stage of practice.

This is the Jade Liquid Condensed Elixir.

Ning Qi sensed the vast, ocean-like jade Jade Liquid within his body and smiled helplessly. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. For a Jade Liquid sea of his size, condensing it into Yuan Pill would not be an easy task.

Of course, it won't be very troublesome.

It just takes some time to work through it.

Without dwelling on this for too long, Ning Qi began to carefully sense the changes in his own Gang Qi. After advancing to the Jade Liquid Realm, he could clearly feel that his Gang Qi had become much more agile, possessing a kind of spirituality that he had not had before.

He pointed, and his Gang Qi surged and condensed, instantly creating a fierce and powerful mythical Bi'an in the courtyard.

The Bi'an has fierce eyes and is incredibly lifelike.

The White Ape, who had just calmed down to cultivate, instinctively stood on end. He opened his eyes, saw the Bi'an, and was startled.

But immediately.

The Bi'an disappeared.

Then, many other Divine Beast appeared, such as Qiuniu, Chaofeng, Shenying, and True Dragon, all of which were extraordinary in power. Combined with the various True Intention that Ning Qi had mastered, they were truly like real Mutant Beast. However, since they were condensed Gang Qi, they could not compare with flesh and blood.

The White Ape was dumbfounded, what he saw was simply a miracle, and he felt even more awe. Having spent a long time with Ning Qi, he knew that Ning Qi did not hide some of his methods from him. He was probably the person who knew Ning Qi the most besides Daoist Longshan.

He always regarded Ning Qi as his role model.

After the White Ape stepped into the Inner Essence Realm, his cultivation speed remained unstoppable. His current overall combat strength is probably close to that of the Gang Essence Realm. After all, his bloodline has an innate advantage over Human Race, allowing him to unleash even stronger combat power.

Ning Qi was having a great time, finding it all quite novel.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and the Jade Liquid Sea surged as a humanoid figure formed from Gang Qi is a type of internal energy) emerged from beside Ning Qi.

His gaze was cold and devoid of any emotion; his movements were initially stiff, but quickly became incredibly agile.

If one were to don a robe, the disguise would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

The only drawback is that it will collapse if subjected to strong bombardment.

"Perhaps we could try to study this aspect. If we could condense a clone of Gang Qi into it, it would have a surprising effect at certain times."

Ning Qi thought to himself.

Heavenly Sword Real Person cannot remain hidden forever. If the enemy is too strong, he will have to take action in his true form. If the Prince of Zhenbei had not come last time, Ning Qi would have already revealed himself. Although he could disguise himself, it would be better to have such a Gang Qi clone as a substitute.

However, to reach the level of using Gang Qi clone to fight against the Celestial Person Realm experts or even those on the Celestial Person Ranking, it will take some more time to deduce the possibilities.

Otherwise, if it remains at its current level, it won't be very practical.

Ning Qi dispersed his Gang Qi and figure.

Then they continued to deduce the Azure Profound Body Protection Technique.

Now that the Gang Qi has greatly increased, this defensive secret technique can also be improved again. Originally, it was enough to reach 70% of the defensive power of the Azure Treasure Armor, but now, after being pushed to its limit, it is easy to surpass the Azure Treasure Armor.

A few days later.

Ye Qinghe successfully broke through the barrier and advanced to the White Mist Realm, becoming the fourth True Disciple of the Gang Essence Realm True Martial Sect to openly reach the Gangyuan Realm.

Everyone in the True Martial Sect was overjoyed, as this signified that the True Martial Sect's foundation had become even stronger.

At this point, apart from the fourth disciple He Yan, the sixth disciple Sun Chuanhai, and the seventh disciple Song Cheng, all the True Disciple have reached the Gang Essence Realm.

Of course, they were unaware that Ning Qi had already reached the Gang Essence Realm.

Ning Qi advanced to the Jade Liquid Realm, but no one knew it.

He's not the flamboyant type, he's always been.

In the days that followed, his life continued as before.

He spends part of his time reading Daoist classics in the Scripture Pavilion to improve his foundation, and another part of his time improving and creating various secret techniques. After advancing to the Jade Liquid, there is still room for improvement in several of his secret techniques.

Finally, there is the daily, methodical tempering of one's inner Gang Qi.

The essence of breaking through from the Jade Liquid Realm to the Yuan Pill Realm is no different; it still involves tempering one's Gang Qi. Although Ning Qi's body contains an immense amount of Jade Liquid, progress is made step by step, and his daily cultivation has been quite rapid.

It's a pity we don't have the Golden Jade Pill anymore, otherwise cultivation would be much faster.

"We still have luminous pearls and other spirit medicine, but relics are hard to find."

Generally speaking

Buddhist relics are used to repay kindness and are not traded, as that would be considered disrespectful to deceased Arhats and high-ranking monks. Obtaining relics from within Buddhism is unrealistic unless one were to exterminate the entire sect and destroy the temple.

This does not align with Ning Qi's principles.

He can be ruthless and decisive if someone provokes him, but he cannot bring himself to massacre an entire family for his own cultivation without cause.

Another option is to exchange it with someone who has previously received a relic. Such people are rare, and this is something that can only be tried once or twice. Ning Qi has already spoken to Daoist Longshan and Luo Wentian about this, only saying that the relic would be useful to him and asking them to help him find one.

Of course, Ning Qi did not place all his hopes on the relic; he was also looking for other alternatives.

Daoist Longshan returned to the mountain some time ago.

The Great Flame is in chaos, with the imperial court and the Demon Sect sects locked in endless conflict, and martial arts sects also constantly clashing. Assassin organizations like the Blood Rain Tower will naturally not remain hidden and will occasionally make their move. Through some connections, Daoist Longshan managed to find some traces of the Blood Rain Tower, but this only made him more alarmed.

This Blood Rain Tower is no ordinary place; there are other forces operating behind it.

He became even more cautious, lest he alert the enemy.

If we forcefully investigate, it might arouse suspicion and cause the Blood Rain Tower to hide even deeper.

After Daoist Longshan informed Ning Qi, the two made a plan: to wait until they had a clearer understanding of the Blood Rain Tower's movements before descending the mountain together, and then strike a decisive blow to eliminate any remaining threats.

Without realizing it.

Ning Qi is already nine years old.

Ning Qi now tall and slender, almost the same height as a teenager. Years of studying scriptures and comprehending the Dao have given him an intangible, transcendent air that captivates people.

His thoughts drifted back nine years.

I had just transmigrated to this world when I was attacked.

He only caught a fleeting glimpse of his mother in this life, and never even saw his father before becoming an orphan. Ning Qi himself almost perished in the sea of fire. If it weren't for Daoist Longshan arriving in time, he would probably have died again. Ning Qi naturally remembered all of this.

Over the years, he had only cultivated in silence, occasionally using this matter as one of his motivations. After all, he did not want to be like Huang Shang, whose enemy was already dead after he had achieved Major Completion power.

Now, Ning Qi's strength is among the top in the Great Flame, so he naturally has the means to take revenge.

He doesn't need to wait any longer.

"Father and Mother, the debt of giving birth to me can never be repaid; I can only offer the blood of my enemies to your spirits in heaven."

Ning Qi gazed at the heavy snow falling in the courtyard and sighed softly.

That year, it also snowed heavily.
