Sword Spirit
What's the surprise?
Ning Qi became immediately interested after hearing his explanation.
"Don't rush, let's talk about it when we have the chance."
Shi Xiaokun said in a low voice.
"Good!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he withdrew his Divine Sense.
They returned to the outside world once again.
At this point, he and Ye Lingshuang had already left the area they had been in.
They have already begun their journey to other islands.
Following this collaboration, they have decided to continue their partnership.
"Let's go to the island ahead; we'll rest here tonight."
Ye Lingshuang pointed to the island above and said to Ning Qi.
"Good!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he followed.
Before long, they arrived at the island.
Here, there is an abandoned village.
However, due to years of neglect, many of the houses are now in a dilapidated state.
However, they didn't mind and after finding a few relatively nice courtyards, they decided to rest there.
"I'll rest here tonight."
Ye Lingshuang also found a small courtyard.
It's in fairly good condition.
Everything here is made of Spirit Stone.
This family is obviously wealthy.
This courtyard is a rare find in the village, consisting of two courtyards, one in front and one in back.
I'm going to the backyard.
After Ning Qi walked in, he pointed to the backyard and said.
"Okay, then I'll stay in the front yard."
Ye Lingshuang didn't say much and chose to stay in the front yard.
Ning Qi greeted her and then headed straight for the backyard.
After arriving at the backyard, we found a side Side Room and went inside.
He then opened his own Sumeru Space and entered the passage leading to the Inner Realm.
They arrived directly in the Inner Realm.
"Call!"
As soon as it appeared, I sensed a very strong Life Essence.
Then, they arrived directly at a valley.
I was immediately stunned by what I saw.
This completely absorbed all the Life Essence from that pool of water.
"Owner!"
At that moment, a person emerged from the pool.
It was indeed the Medicine Spirit.
Ning Qi stared wide-eyed at Medicine Spirit, who had grown into a half-grown child.
He has always been a tiny person, no bigger than the palm of your hand.
This is the first time I've seen him turn into a child.
What's wrong with you?
Ning Qi looked at him, then realized what he meant and asked.
"I absorbed and refined the Life Essence here, which allowed my strength to break through."
"After my strength broke through, I grew up a bit."
Medicine Spirit scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good. What's your strength now?"
Ning Qi looked at him, carefully examining Medicine Spirit.
He showed a look of curiosity.
I never expected that Medicine Spirit would actually grow up after breaking through her strength.
"I should have reached the peak of the Golden Immortal Peak by now."
Medicine Spirit stretched out his hands, sensing the changes in his own strength.
"That's right. If you break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, you should directly become an adult."
Ning Qi looked at him with a look of satisfaction.
This is a child he's watched grow up.
I've always followed him silently.
I've never asked for anything.
She always stepped forward to help him in times of danger.
"I don't know, but it's good enough as it is for now."
Medicine Spirit shook his head and continued, "I feel that if I refine all the Life Essence here, I can break through to the next level!"
"Sure, if you can refine them all, then they're all yours."
Ning Qi nodded and spoke without reservation.
He was willing to gather another pool of Life Essence, as long as it could make the Medicine Spirit stronger.
Not to mention that it already exists now.
"That won't do, everyone will need to use it from now on."
"I want to break through, but there are other ways!"
Before he could finish speaking, Medicine Spirit shook her head and said...
He had never thought of such a thing.
"Master, you've arrived."
Shi Xiaokun also walked over at this moment, with a smile on his face as well.
"Yes, this must be the surprise you told me about!"
Ning Qi nodded, pointing to the pool of water, and said, "It's truly surprising; I didn't expect you to actually bring it in."
"Bringing them in isn't difficult at all."
Shi Xiaokun smiled and continued, "However, the surprise I told you about isn't about that; it's something else entirely!"
"Oh, anything else you found?"
Ning Qi immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"This."
Shi Xiaokun didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand.
He then summoned the iron box he had brought earlier.
"Boom."
Then, the metal box suddenly fell to the ground.
A cloud of dust was stirred up.
"Whoosh!"
Upon landing, Sword Qi immediately began to crisscross the area.
It sliced through the surrounding rocks, sending trees flying everywhere.
"This is?"
Ning Qi looked at the iron box in front of him and asked curiously.
"This must be Heavenly Tribulation."
Shi Xiaokun said seriously.
"Oh, it's Heavenly Tribulation?"
Ning Qi immediately became interested upon hearing this.
However, they quickly realized what was happening.
That can't be obtained so easily.
How come others struggle to find it, yet I found it so easily?
"Indeed, I can sense the Sword Qi within."
"However, that's not necessarily the case."
"But the Sword Qi here is so strong, it must be related to the Heavenly Tribulation."
Shi Xiaokun nodded and continued his analysis, "So, it's not wrong to bring it back and check the situation."
"Hmm, didn't you open it to take a look?"
Ning Qi nodded, then asked.
Now that we've brought it back, we should open it and take a look.
That saves us from having to think about it anymore.
"It won't open, I've tried."
"I feel that only those who have received the Inheritance can unlock it."
"So, we've been waiting for you."
Shi Xiaokun shook his head before speaking.
He and Medicine Spirit had already tried it before, but they couldn't open it no matter what they did.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
After Ning Qi agreed, he walked forward.
They quickly arrived at the iron box.
"Master, be careful."
The Medicine Spirit reminded him again.
"It's alright, the Sword Qi isn't as violent anymore after seeing its master."
Shi Xiaokun said comfortingly.
However, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
His hands were clenched tightly, and he had already circulated the immense Immortal Power within his body.
He would immediately lend a helping hand should Ning Qi encounter any problems.
"Call."
Ning Qi had already walked up to the iron box.
He first took a deep breath, and then immediately circulated the Immortal Power within his body.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a burst of Immortal Power shot out towards the iron box in front.
It was bombarded directly onto the iron box.
In the blink of an eye, they had opened the box.
"Buzz."
Once the box was opened, a burst of sword Sword Qi suddenly erupted into the sky.
"Boom..."
In just a moment, it pierced through the sky.
"Click..."
The next moment, rumbling thunder roared in.
Completely surround this place.
Arcs of electricity flashed and surged downwards.
"Snort."
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then suddenly activated his Taiyi Golden Immortal power.
They went to meet him.
"Whoosh!"
"Click!"
Dozens of Heavenly Thunder surged forth, all striking his body.
At first, Ning Qi was able to hold on, but later even he started to struggle.
"Call!"
At this moment, Shi Xiaokun came over to help.
In just a moment, it shielded him from the remaining power of the lightning.
Then, their attention turned to the iron box.
At this moment, the power of lightning had completely dissipated.
Only the sword at the bottom remains.
"Buzz."
Even when no one is wielding it, the sword continues to hum.
"Is this Heavenly Tribulation?"
Ning Qi looked at the sword in the box, his expression turning solemn.
Judging from its imposing presence, it is indeed very strong.
However, it feels like something is missing.
It was somewhat different from the peerless sword he had imagined.
"Yes."
Shi Xiaokun said with certainty, "I can feel its power; there's absolutely no mistake."
Something's missing.
Medicine Spirit also came over, looking puzzled. "But, what's missing?"
"I understand, Soul!"
Ning Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "There's no Sword Spirit!"
"Sword Spirit?"
Shi Xiaokun and Medicine Spirit spoke at the same time.
"Yes, you've forgotten? There are countless Sword Spirit here!"
"They must have all been scattered from this sword!"
Ning Qi nodded and said seriously, "In other words, it doesn't have Sword Spirit, which is why it has been sealed here all this time!"
"Therefore, the Sword Qi he unleashed earlier wasn't particularly powerful!"
"These are all interdependent; Sword Spirit is just as weak when it has no Sword Qi."
His words caused both of them to look serious.
"But there are so many Sword Spirit in the outside world, how can we possibly collect them all?"
"Besides, the Sword Spirit might not even be his Sword Spirit, right?"
Medicine Spirit was the first to react and said seriously.
"That's absolutely true; finding a needle in a haystack here is like searching for one in a vast ocean."
Ning Qi nodded.
This is indeed a problem; finding the lost Sword Spirit is extremely difficult.
It's simply impossible to find.
There's always a way; things will work themselves out!
Medicine Spirit smiled and said, "Besides, we already have the Heavenly Tribulation, shouldn't finding the Sword Spirit be easier?"
"You have a point."
"When we go out later, take it out and try it out, to sense its location."
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Perhaps, this is the best way."
"However, this could reveal that the Heavenly Tribulation has already occurred."
Shi Xiaokun, realizing something, quickly reminded him, "His appearance has already caused turmoil within the Inner Realm."
"No rush, let me try to get it running and see."
Ning Qi spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Then he waved his hand.
"Whoosh."
The Heavenly Tribulation suddenly leaped up and landed directly in Ning Qi's palm.
Ning Qi then circulated the Immortal Power within his body.
It suddenly slashed down forward.
"Buzz!"
With a sword's cry.
A chilling Sword Qi suddenly appeared.
At the same time, a phantom appeared behind Ning Qi.
The illusory figure, just like him, swung a sword and slashed down.
In the blink of an eye, they leveled the mountain that was right in front of them.
"Boom!"
The mountain suddenly collapsed.
A cloud of dust rose up in an instant.
Beneath the billowing smoke and dust.
It unleashed bursts of Sword Qi that sent chills down one's spine.
It keeps cutting everything in front of it apart.
"So strong!"
Ning Qi looked at the destructive power before him and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
After this sword strike was unleashed, under the influence of the Heavenly Profound Sword Art, it was able to condense over a hundred Sword Qi.
It extinguished all life in the surrounding area.
Sure enough, this Sword Art was tailor-made for this Heavenly Tribulation Sword.
Otherwise, if these Sword Qi are not released, they will backfire on their master.
At this point, Ning Qi finally understood the usefulness of the Sword Art he had learned.
The first thing to do is protect yourself.
This is the only way to effectively kill more enemies.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
"Too powerful. Within the same realm, he's practically invincible."
Shi Xiaokun also said with emotion, "Congratulations, Master, on obtaining such a precious treasure."
"It's a pity there's no Sword Spirit!"
Medicine Spirit sighed.
This is still not perfect.
"Let's go, I'll go out and try to summon Sword Qi!"
Ning Qi looked ahead, then suddenly leaped away.
In the blink of an eye, they were gone.
"Call!"
When the object reappeared, they were already in the courtyard.
After he appeared, the first thing he did was to bring out the Heavenly Tribulation.
Without any prompting, there was no disturbance here.
"That's right, follow your heart."
Ning Qi smiled.
If you don't want it to unleash Sword Qi fluctuations, the Heavenly Tribulation will behave itself.
There will be no unauthorized fluctuations.
Since it's so obedient, let's try summoning Sword Spirit!
Ning Qi's heart stirred, and he began to give commands to the Heavenly Tribulation in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
This Heavenly Tribulation seemed to understand his words afterward.
It began to tremble slightly.
Even so, no disturbance occurred.
It's clearly to protect themselves from being exposed.
Ning Qi became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
However, after the Heavenly Tribulation tribulation trembled for a while, there were no fluctuations in the surroundings.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"No response?"
Looking at the Heavenly Tribulation before him, Ning Qi couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
That's the only downside.
I had originally thought that once I obtained this Sword Spirit, I could rest easy.
Without the Sword Spirit, the essence of this sword is lost.
"Master, perhaps... I can give it a try."
The Medicine Spirit had already emerged by this time.
He approached Ning Qi and said, "I already possess the strength of Golden Immortal Peak."
"Let me be its Sword Spirit, perhaps that wouldn't be bad!"
"You?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi turned his gaze to Medicine Spirit.
"That's not impossible either; Sword Spirit are also created from nothing."
"And that's how he condensed his essence; he used to be Medicine Spirit."
"Being a Sword Spirit for now might not be so bad!"
Shi Xiaokun also came out and said in a deep voice.
"Well, if that's the case, then let's go back and give it a try."
"Any disturbance here could cause unnecessary trouble!"
Ning Qi nodded and then spoke.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Shi Xiaokun suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Ning Qi asked curiously.
"Master, I feel we should first let the Medicine Spirit fuse with some Sword Qi."
"Also, you must teach him the Sword Art!"
"This way, he can gain the sword's approval more easily."
Shi Xiaokun paused for a moment before saying, word by word, "In this way, we can succeed in one fell swoop."
"Yes, that makes sense. Let's go then."
"I'll go to the Inner Realm and teach you Sword Art!"
Ning Qi nodded and then headed back into the Inner Realm.
Medicine Spirit followed closely behind.
