Ji Ning sat cross-legged beside the pool, his breathing like a turbulent wave. He opened his mouth to absorb the primordial liquid from the pool, which was already just a thin layer at the bottom, and it quickly decreased further.

  Ji Ning suddenly shut his mouth.

  "Ah."

  Jing Ning opened his eyes with a smile, took a look at the green liquid in the pool, "Let me break through from the initial stage of Qi refining to the perfect round, first opening up the Zi Fu, and then consolidating the early stage of Zi Fu. It reduced my cultivation by one or two years, consuming about one-third of my yuan liquid!"

  The time spent in the small tea cup was less than a moment, and then the Purple Mansion was opened up again, and the previous consolidation of the Purple Mansion was about to begin. Ji Ning's cultivation progress was astonishing, but it would still take one or two years.

  "Two-thirds of the yuan liquid is left, if used for cultivation, it may be possible to reach the Zi Fu period." Ji Ning understood that his Zi Fu pre-period had been consolidated, and relying on the remaining yuan liquid from Chapter 26 "Wind and Rain are Coming" (the final chapter of this volume), he completely had the possibility of breaking through again. However, if he really relied on the "Water Yuan Gong" cultivation method to reach the Zi Fu period, then his future path of refining qi would be difficult to walk.

  After all, the "Water Yuan Gong" is a very inferior method, used to open up the Zi Fu Palace, it's nothing special, because everyone's Zi Fu Palace is the same. But if used to break through to the Zi Fu period? The refinement of the original force itself will be much worse, one step out, and in the future, wanting to regret will not work. In the future, wanting to become a Wan Xiang True Person will increase the difficulty by tenfold or even a hundredfold.

  "I've now transcended a major boundary and become a Violet Mansion cultivator! Even if I break through to the Violet Mansion stage, my strength will only increase slightly." Ji Ning thought to himself, crossing a major boundary was a fundamental leap forward! However, advancing within a minor boundary had a relatively small impact on one's strength.

  Innate spirit sweeps away acquired nature.

  Zǐ Fǔ Xiū Shì Héng Sǎo Xiān Tiān Shēng Líng!

  Translation: The Purple Mansion Master sweeps away the innate spirits of the prenatal world!

  Even in the early stages of Zi Fu, it still sweeps away the innate perfection. This is a difference in quality. Want to transcend levels? Difficult!

  But in the early stages of Zi Fu. And when Zi Fu started fighting... it's hard to say who will live or die, this kind of small boundary crossing has limited power enhancement.

  "Wasting the remaining yuan liquid, the increase in strength is limited, and it will ruin my future path. It's not worth it." Ji Ning flipped out a symbol card, on which was written the divine magic character 'Right Second Twenty-Sixth Chapter: Wind and Rain are Coming (End of Volume)'. It was exactly the symbol card from the Water Mansion. Ji Ning's eyes shone with expectant light. "Although I have opened up the Purple Mansion, if I were to face Duanmu Huangqi again, I am confident that I can suppress him or even kill him. But this time, I will be facing not just one Duanmu Huangqi, but a large group of strong practitioners from Xue Long Shan."

  "I hope this Water Palace... can increase my strength once again."

  "The water palace that can cultivate the beautiful fairy. It should be extraordinary." Ji Ning expected, his hand touched a green energy into the token, and soon it was refined.

  A faintly discernible ancient aura emanated from it, evoking a sense of reverence in Ji Ning.

  "Good fellow." Ji Ning looked at this token, "It's really unknown who was the first master of Shui Fu back then."

  "He's gone."

  Ji Ning stood up directly, and with a flip of his hand, a jade bottle the size of a palm appeared. This was just an unranked treasure, although it was only the size of a palm, it could store several thousand kilograms of fine wine. Ji Ning had quite a few storage items like this, such as when he was in the Water Palace making the oath to refine the divine demon blood, Ji Ning used a gourd to store a thousand kilograms of blood.

  "Received." Ji Ning gazed at the yuan liquid inside the pool, his divine sense immediately stirring. Whoosh! A stream of yuan liquid shot through the air, entering the mouth of that jade bottle, not a single drop remaining.

  "I don't know which immortal left this stone room." Ji Ning looked at the stone room before leaving, "It brought disaster to my family, but it also allowed me to open up the Purple Mansion ahead of time."

  Ji Ning's heart is clear. No wonder that immortal blamed him, if there's anyone to blame, it can only be Ji himself for being weak.

  "Wow!"

  After leaving the stone room, Ji Ning was surrounded by Water Fire Lotus and directly tore out a passage from Yuan Shi Mine, rushing upwards swiftly. Ji Ning knew that it would take a while to rush from over a hundred miles deep underground to the ground, and two magical artifacts appeared in his hand, one of which was a palm-sized boat-shaped artifact, and the other was a black wing-shaped artifact.

  The boat is the magic treasure of Mozi Shan, and the black feathered wings are the magic treasure of that giant dispersal, both are entry-level magic treasures.

  "Once you enter the Purple Mansion, you can use these entry-level treasures!" Ji Ning understood that a major breakthrough was not only about enhancing one's power, but also about upgrading one's treasures. Only when both aspects were combined could a Purple Mansion cultivator absolutely dominate all pre-heavenly born spirits.

  ……

  Boom!

  A lotus flower of water and fire burst out of the ground, in the lotus flower was Ji Ning.

  "Ji Ning." In the distance were Ji Yunhuo, Shadow Lady and others. The surrounding maze had long since dissipated, restoring the desolate landscape of mountains and forests. Only in some areas could one see the remnants of the previous battle.

  "Tribe leader, father." Ji Ning also walked over.

  "You came out quickly, we just arrived on the ground not long ago." Ji Jiu Huo and four others walked over with a smile, "Liu Zhen also just left to go back."

  Ji Ning thought for a moment, he had been cultivating for about the time it takes to boil tea, and yet he emerged from the ground first. The clan leaders took longer to emerge... probably by just a hair's breadth.

  "Right, Ji Ning," Ji Difu asked, "what magical treasures did you obtain after killing the giant disperser?"

  "There are several." Ji Ning said.

  The old woman next to her explained in a gentle tone: "We are going to figure out which of these treasures will be useful for whom. This is also the simplest way to utilize the treasures."

  Ji Ning nodded: "That giant dispersal has a flying treasure, a storage treasure, a protective armor, and a giant axe, as well as a winged treasure! This winged treasure is useful to me, the others are useless." On Banzi Shan's body, Ji Ning had already obtained storage, flight, and protective armor-type entry-level treasures, only this entry-level winged treasure was useful.

  "What do you need?" Ji Jiu Huo looked at Ji Ning.

  "Sword!" Ji Ning said, "I only need flying swords that can enter the stage, the others are of no use to me, the more flying swords that can enter the stage, the better."

  He fights alone in two ways: close combat and the Small Thousand Swords Formation.

  Especially after opening up the Purple Mansion, using the Small Thousand Sword Array will naturally be even more powerful. However, if one still uses a non-stage sword... their strength might only increase by one or two levels. But if they were to switch to all stage-flying swords, Ji Ning felt that he might even be able to fight against the True Person of Myriad Images.

  "Entering the stage with flying swords? The more the better?" Ji Jiu Huo, Ying Po Po, Lao Bin A Xing, and Ji Yi Chuan all said in a low voice. He said I have one flying sword here. He said that there are two flying swords over there.

  "We have five flying swords here that are temporarily unused." Ji Jiu Huo looked at Ji Ning, "Is it enough?"

  Ji Ning was slightly disappointed.

  Five mouths?

  It's useless.

  Each base of his own small thousand sword array is composed of nine sword equipment treasures! Nine bases form a small sword array! In other words, the smallest unit 'base' requires nine flying swords to enter the stage... If you want your own small thousand sword array to transform and upgrade, you need 81 flying swords as the foundation, and then carry other non-stage sword equipment treasures, and the power will naturally surge.

  Of course it's best to use all the flying swords of the entering grade...

  According to Ji Ning's estimation, if he were to use all the flying swords in a Thousand Swords Formation, he would probably only be able to execute two or three layers. However, its power would be many times stronger than it is now! Quality over quantity. More importantly!

  "How much do you want?" Jiufei asked.

  "I want seven-tiered flying swords, the more the better, a few hundred would be great!" Ji Ning said with a smile. Sword artifacts were common treasures, and from Bi Zishan's body, Ji Ning had already obtained two tiers of flying swords. Adding another seven tiers of flying swords would mean adding an entire smallest unit 'array base'. With this array base as the core, the power of the entire Small Thousand Swords Array might increase by one or two times!

  "Hundreds of flying swords?" Ji Jiu Huo and Ying Po were shocked, but they also remembered the scene where Ji Ning had previously deployed the Small Thousand Swords Array. Indeed, there were over 700 flying swords surrounding Ji Ning. It seemed that Ji Ning really did need a lot of flying swords. But hundreds of low-grade spiritual treasures? The entire Ji clan would go bankrupt if they tried to collect that many!

  "We'll gather for you, and strive to gather the Seven Flying Swords." Ji Jiu Huo said after changing the subject, "The Snow Dragon Mountain will send a wide invitation to fellow disciples, I estimate that in one or two days we'll have to welcome the battle, before that you need to go back and take some treasure, or arrange some matters, all of you hurry up. Afterwards, we'll still gather here."

  "Go."

  Whoosh!

  Jiǔ Huǒ, Yǐng Pópó and Lǎo Bōn ā Xǐng three people rode on a giant wine gourd and quickly broke through the air. Only Ji Ning and his father were left behind.

  Ji Ning understood that this also had a bit of an afterlife arrangement feeling.

  "Father, are you going back to Xifucheng?" Ji Ning looked at her father.

  "No, let's go to Winged Snake Lake." Ji Yichuan nodded, "I want to see Xiao Bai now, he and I are like brothers. No matter what, I have to see him." He has been living in Winged Snake Lake for nearly five years, and Baisu is also there.

  "White Uncle?" Ji Ning nodded slightly.

  Shen Shui Ze and his father had a very good relationship, they went out to explore together, even going to the North Sea. The time they spent together was probably longer than that of his parents, indeed they could be called sworn brothers.

  "Go." A flat boat appeared under Ji Ning's feet, and Ji Yichuan also stepped onto the boat.

  Wow.

  The boat immediately rose into the air and soon flew through the vast sky among the clouds... Yanshan has a total of ten cities. Xuelong Mountain occupies three cities, just like Ji Shi occupied Dashu City and renamed it "Wanjian City". When Dongzi Qi first invaded Yanshan, he renamed the city he occupied as "Xuelong City" to announce to all parties that this is a branch of Xuelong Mountain!

  Even if they later occupied two other cities, the core of the Yanshan branch was still in Xuelong City.

  "What about the person? What about the others?"

  Three figures stood on a canvas high above the Snow Dragon City, gazing afar at two people riding on a green leaf that broke through the air - Dongzi Qi and Muxi.

  "What about the other three? Are they dead?" The three figures asked anxiously, and these three were also three purple mansion cultivators from the Yanshan branch of Xuedragon Mountain, namely the Ju and Dong families. Earlier, the purple mansion cultivator 'Ju Nianxiong' from the Ju family discovered that his nephew's life was in danger and rushed to Xuedragon City, and the two old men from the Dong family were also frightened when they heard the news, knowing that something must have happened.

  Unexpectedly, not only did Ju Zhan die, but also the He siblings died.

  "They're dead, all three of my junior brothers and sisters are dead." Dongzi Qi gritted his teeth, "It was all because of that Ji family's sudden ambush, they set up a large formation beforehand and launched a surprise attack, leaving us unprepared. My three junior brothers and sisters were surrounded and killed one by one. The He Zhuang siblings were also killed, I'm afraid even the Minister's token has been taken."

  Three city-states, respectively under the control of Dongshi, Heshi and Jushi. One of them is a vassal state that is on the body of Heshi's brother and sister.

  "This Ji family is looking for death!" Ju Nian Yong's eyes were bloodshot.

  Beside, Mu Si said in a cold voice: "This time the heaven and earth yuanqi fluctuation, we went to investigate and found that within the Ji family's territory, there is a giant yuan stone mine vein, and it is a mine vein with a large amount of high-quality yuan stones. The entire mine vein spans over 4,000 miles in circumference and has a depth of more than 300 miles."

  "What?!"

  Juguo Xiong and Dong Shi's two old men were frightened and jumped high.

  "Ji's family refused to hand it over, that's why there will be a massacre." Dongzi Qi said in a low and solemn tone.

  The two old men of the Dong family, who were hunched over, shouted urgently: "Such a huge yuan stone vein, our sect must be in urgent need! Hand it over to the sect... and it will be a great merit. The Ji family dares to oppose Snow Dragon Mountain, then exterminate the Ji family, annihilate them!!!"

  "Of course, they must be exterminated!" Dongzi's eyes gleamed with cold light, "But what I'm most worried about now is that the Ji clan and the Great Xia Dynasty will sign a transfer contract."

  "The Great Xia Dynasty?"

  Dong Shi's two elders and Ju Nian Yong were shocked, if they really signed the contract, then Xue Long Shan wouldn't dare to intervene either, going to provoke the Great Xia Dynasty? Are you looking for death?

  "But the Ji family must report first, and then wait for the arrival of the Daxia Dynasty's envoy. At least three days. If we drag it out as much as possible, we can delay even longer." Dongzi Qi said in a row, "So we are in a hurry, we must invite other fellow disciples as soon as possible, let them come to Yanshan and destroy the Ji family together."

  "Hmm." Everyone nodded.

  The Ji family has already killed three Zifu disciples, and there are only five left. If they go to fight, even if they win, they will probably lose half of their lives. Even with great merit, one must have a life to enjoy it.

  "You four go and invite Snow Dragon Mountain's branches in various places. I will personally go to Yanshan City to see the garrison general, trying to delay for as long as possible."

  "Good." The four of them nodded.

  "Invite a few dozen fellow disciples to come, and when the time comes, dozens of fellow disciples will join forces... It's simply crushing, and it's easy to destroy the Ji family." Dongzi Qi said, "Everyone joining forces is almost risk-free, and they can also share the credit. Those fellow disciples are sure to come."

  "Good."

  "Then let's go now."

  They soon arranged the route, and the other four Zifu disciples flew away in four directions to invite their fellow apprentices. Dongzi Qi went to Yanshan City.

  ……

  Wingsnake Lake, vast and boundless.

  A small boat descended from the sky and landed on the other end of Ming Xin Island, where Father lived. It was a very secluded residence, without even a servant, only a large white dog lying there.

  Bai Shuizhe suddenly raised his head, and a high-flying boat quickly fell from the sky.

  "Uncle Bai." Ji Ning looked at Bai Shuizhe with some emotion, knowing that Uncle Bai and his father had gone through thick and thin together, and had also saved his and his mother's lives. Also, when he was practicing archery every day outside the Western City, it was Uncle Bai who followed and protected him by his side.

  Watching Father and Uncle Bai reunite, although Uncle Bai still can't speak, the master and servant can communicate with each other spiritually, on the condition that they are very close.

  Ji Ning quietly left as well.

  Very soon.

  Ji Ning returned to his residence and entered the quiet room used for cultivation, directly locking it. Earlier, when flying over the Winged Snake Lake region, Ji Ning had already sensed the Water Abode! As Hei Wushuang said, once one refines a talisman, they can sense the Water Abode in this area and enter it at any time.

  "This time in one war, I have greatly increased my strength but it is still far from enough. I hope that this ancient water temple has something that can greatly increase my strength." Ji Ning expected and yearned for.

  "In." Ji Ning's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly a giant bear skull phantom appeared in the quiet room. The massive bear skull phantom opened its mouth and swallowed Ji Ning whole.

  Ji Ning disappeared in this quiet room.
