Refining Immortal Qi

Hearing Wuxiang Zhenren's words, Xue Hongyuan's expression darkened slightly. He nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "That's true. If Ning Wangshu really is the person who killed my daughter—and if he really is the Grand Greatmaster surnamed Ning whom Master Cao mentioned—then it will be extremely difficult to surround and kill him."

Wuxiang Zhenren's eyes flickered. "That's why, Sect Master Xue, in my opinion, if you truly wish to avenge this blood feud, the safest course is to first complete the matter I mentioned to you before."

"Once that is done, I'm highly confident I can succeed. By then, no matter how miraculous his technique is, there's no way he'll escape me..."

Xue Hongyuan naturally understood what Wuxiang Zhenren meant: he wanted him to help refine the Huntian Pill first. With the pill, Wuxiang Zhenren would have a very good chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

Once that happened, Wuxiang Zhenren would be at the Above the Golden Core level, and his chances of killing Ning Wangshu would naturally rise considerably.

"Fine! What you've said really is the safest course of action!"

Xue Hongyuan replied in a low voice.

Then he immediately added, "However, we still can't be completely certain whether that young man called Ning Wangshu really is the Grand Greatmaster surnamed Ning from Jiangnan Province."

"Master Cao..."

As he spoke, Xue Hongyuan looked up at Cao Qinming. "Could you give me a photo of Ning Wangshu? I'll contact some friends in the Southeast Seven Provinces and ask whether he really is that Grand Greatmaster surnamed Ning."

Cao Qinming hurriedly replied, "Of course. Since we found out that he left Jingzhou by high-speed rail, we just need to have someone identify him from the station's surveillance footage."

"Then I'll trouble you with this, Master Cao."
