Early summer morning, exceptionally cool.

  On the mountain of Beiming Peak, in the mansion, Ji Ning walked out wearing a black beast skin suit as usual.

  "Master Ji Ning." Meng Yan stepped forward, his voice filled with respect.

  "Stones, prepare some food, as usual." Ji Ning ordered with a smile. For more than three years, including the two servants sent by Bei Shan Bai Wei later, he had a total of six servants under his command. He was also very familiar with these six servants, but the one he trusted most was still Meng Yan.

  Meng Yan had injured his foundation back then. After entering the Black and White Academy, he began to cultivate both divine and demonic arts, and his entire body became even darker.

  "Yes, Master Ji Ning." Meng Yan immediately withdrew.

  "Ji Ning, brother, you're out." A beautiful figure walked over from a distance, it was Yunluo, behind her followed a young man in black robes, one of Ji Ning's six attendants, 'Wei Fang'.

  Yunlu's eyes sparkled, and under the influence of the Black and White Academy environment, her temperament also became more ethereal. "This time, Shixiong has been in seclusion for a very long time, almost a month."

  Her gaze at Ji Ning was very ardent, although in the Black and White Academy her vision had become even broader... but in her eyes, Ji Ning was still the most dazzling one. More than three years had passed, and compared to more than three years ago, Ji Ning's temperament had become even more simple, just like a young man from the mountains and fields.

  Ke Yunlu understood that Ji Ning had become much stronger than he was in the past, and there were already very few people in the Hall of Discussion who were willing to engage in a debate with him. Many people secretly called Ji Ning a "reincarnated immortal". This showed just how monstrous his talent was.

  "I see you every time I go out." Ji Ning smiled, "Yunluo, you also need to calm down and cultivate carefully. Look at Wei Fang... he came later than all of you, but he is actually the strongest among you few."

  "Elder brother is being modest." The young man in black robes said with a respectful bow, "Compared to elder brother, the difference is unknown tens of thousands of miles."

  "I've also tried very hard," Yunluo said.

  "Your qualifications are good, but your moral character is a bit lacking." Ji Ning shook his head.

  Yunlu's eyes rolled around.

  Ji Ning shook her head secretly. This Yunlu had been trying to seduce him when she first entered the sect, but later on, seeing that there was no hope... Although she still showed great respect for him, she had already begun to flirt with other senior brothers in the academy.

  "Embarking on the path of cultivation without diligent practice, only wanting to be a Dao companion with powerful cultivators. How ridiculous! " Ji Ning also found it helpless.

  He also saw through it.

  Yunluo is not a bad person by nature, and the six attendants. The one he trusts most is Meng Yan, followed by Yunluo. As for the other four attendants, although they are respectful to him, Ji Ning can sense that those four people have great ambitions. Trusting them requires careful consideration.

  ……

  Ji Ning sat there, sipping the millet porridge that contained the essence of heaven and earth, eating some delicious food. His already good mood naturally became even better. Beside him, Bai Shui Ze was lying down, looking at Ji Ning, and transmitted his voice spiritually: "Ning Er, your mood is extremely good."

  "Ah, after being in seclusion for almost a month. I've finally grasped the second move of the 'Three Chi Sword'!" Ji Ning looked at Bai Shu beside him, his face full of smiles.

  "Understood?" Bai Shuizhe's face suddenly showed a look of surprise and delight.

  These past three years...

  There was a fairy who taught. There were also many swordsmanship classics in the Taoist temple for reference, and in his mind, he had the complete "Three Chi Sword" as well as the sword intent passed down by his senior from the north... Ji Ning's progress was naturally extremely astonishing. In the past, there had never been a truly formidable teacher, even his father and others, who were not satisfied with Ji Ning's extraordinary talent.

  While Dian Cai Xian Ren led Ji Ning, Ji Ning was also infinitely delighted, and his progress was incredibly astonishing.

  It's just that I've never quite grasped the second move of "Three Chi Sword".

  "It's been more than three years, and I finally figured it out." Bai Shuizhe stood up, excited for Ji Ning.

  "With this sword technique, I also dare to fight with Master again." Ji Ning showed a smile, "Maybe this time I can get Master's recognition and let me go out and make a name for myself."

  Ji Ning was not allowed to leave his master's door without being acknowledged by his master.

  Logically, Ji Ning's strength should have allowed him to venture out long ago. However, since Ji Ning was a freakishly talented individual, his master, the Celestial Immortal, naturally had even higher expectations for him! Until now... Ji Ning had also sparred with his master several times, and although he made great progress each time, he had yet to receive his master's recognition.

  "Go ahead." Bai Shuizhe smiled and transmitted his voice spiritually, "You go out, I can also follow you to venture out together. Thinking back to the years when I was venturing out with your father, it's still exhilarating."

  With the help of Ji Ning's contribution, Bai Shui Ze naturally reached the Zifu Round Fulfillment level. Ji Ning had also wanted to exchange some powerful secret techniques with Bai Shui Ze, but he didn't need them. He only spent 200 Black and White Pills to obtain some array methods for reference and contemplation. Because studying array methods takes a long time, the cost of exchanging array method books is actually much lower. Ji Ning spent 600 Black and White Pills to exchange for 36 sword technique classics. And as for array method classics... he only spent 200 Black and White Pills to obtain a full 91 volumes.

  The "Nine Volumes of Array Methods" left behind by that immortal back then was incredibly profound and vast, being the complete legacy of an immortal.

  Bai Shuizhe, as a divine beast, followed Ji Ning's father to study array techniques. Obtaining the "Nine Volumes of Array Techniques" was like adding wings to a tiger, and he also got to refer to many array technique books from the Black and White Academy, naturally making rapid progress all the way.

  At times, Bai Shui Ze would also go listen to some Yuan Shen Dao people or even Xian people lecture on the Dao at the Hei Bai Academy.

  "I'm going then." Ji Ning stood up.

  "Hmm." Bai Shuizhe watched as Ji Ning walked out, then stepped onto a boat and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the distance.

  ……

  Standing on a boat, flying through the air, scanning the ground below with his eyes, he soon arrived at the residence of Master Zai Xianren.

  Wow.

  Ji Ning descended in front of the mansion gate, and the guards at the gate also smiled at Ji Ning. Ji Ning himself walked directly inside, as Tian Xian had already given orders... allowing Ji Ning to enter without needing to be announced.

  Main hall.

  The black-robed and raven-haired Dian Cai Xianren sat cross-legged on the jade bed, and more than three years of time seemed to have had no effect on his master.

  "Today isn't the first day of the month, you've come today to cross hands with me again?" Dian Cai Xianren looked at his beloved disciple, more than three years had passed and he grew even fonder of this sole disciple. Not even the younger generation of his own clan could compare to Ning's ability to win his affection.

  "Yes." Ji Ning looked at his master and replied.

  Ji Ning's eyes revealed a tangible sword aura, and his entire being began to gradually emanate a terrifying sword intent.

  Sword intent soars through the heavens!

  "It seems like you've made some progress." The Immortal nodded, "Come on, make your move against me."

  "Be careful, Master."

  Ji Ning suddenly materialized a pair of Northern Frost Swords in mid-air, one sword in each hand.

  Splash!

  Ji Ning transformed into a blurry phantom, his sword flashing like a ghostly apparition, reaching the extreme of speed, instantly stabbing towards Dian Cai Xianren sitting on the cloud bed.

  The fairy-like person sat leisurely on the cloud bed, stretched out his finger and formed a sword finger. With a light tap, a sword glow instantly cut through an arc line, "Whoosh~~" This arc-shaped sword glow collided with Ji Ning's sword shadow in mid-air, Ji Ning's sword shadow was eerie, this sword glow trajectory was all arc lines, also fluttering and uncertain.

  "Hmm." Ji Ning's sword light changed, becoming fierce and overbearing.

  Boom!

  The surroundings instantly fell into a scorching sea of flames, and Ji Ning's sword light also became a flame, extremely fierce and brave, directly slashing towards Dian Cai Xianren. At this moment, Ji Ning's sword... had already far surpassed the realm of "Lei Huo Jian Can Bian", probably even the cultivator who created "Lei Huo Jian" couldn't match Ji Ning's current level in terms of swordsmanship.

  "Destroy." The Temple's Immortal also revealed a smile, and with a light finger, the sword light that flew out from his fingertips instantly transformed into tens of thousands of silk threads. These threads intertwined, forming a large net-like shape, which enveloped and trapped Ji Ning's Flame Sword Light in an instant.

  "Water and fire are ruthless!" Ji Ning also smiled.

  The surroundings changed in an instant, with scorching flames on one side and endless rainwater on the other.

  Ji Ning's one hand transformed into a Flame Sword Light, while his other hand turned into a Rain Water Sword Light.

  Ji Ning met the incoming sword light with an unstoppable aura, his dual swords swirling together like a vortex.

  "Boom!"

  The light of the Water and Fire Swords clashed head-on, exploding in a burst of energy.

  The sword light suddenly burst apart.

  "This move is ruthless and merciless, it's finally got some flavor." The Celestial Sword pointed a little further away.

  Whoosh!

  A sharp sword tip, with an astonishing degree, killed towards Ji Ning. At the same time, Dian Cai Xianren's sword finger moved again and again... A series of sword tips shot out one after another, all extremely fast.

  "Last time was defeated by this move, and there were many blood holes on his body. I don't know if he can withstand it this time." The eyes of the Temple Fairy had expectation.

  Ji Ning was no longer smiling as he had been earlier, but his eyes lit up and his entire being erupted.

  Wow! Wow! Wow!

  Ji Ning's dual swords moved, and for a moment, giant water and fire grinding wheels appeared around Ji Ning. The two different heavenly powers of water and fire... intertwined to form a massive grinding wheel. At the center of the entire grinding wheel, the collision of water and fire formed a terrifying power of wind. Only to see this three-colored grinding wheel encircle Ji Ning, wherever Ji Ning's sword light swept past, it was accompanied by an endless intense gust of wind!

  Hurry!

  Almost there!

  "Cut! Cut! Cut!" Ji Ning directly took Master's pointed sword edge, and continuously cut off.

  Water and fire grind the millstone, strong winds surround the body.

  Ji Ning's sword was as swift and elusive as lightning, each time striking at the weak points on the sides of his opponent's sword, rather than confronting them head-on.

  "Faster, faster!" The Temple's Sage pointed again and again, the empty sword edges grew more numerous, crazily enveloping Ji Ning. Surrounded by the giant water-fire millstone, Ji Ning's sword light was also incredibly fast, cutting off those sword edges one after another.

  "Go!!"

  The fairy-like figure lightly flicked his fingers, and the thousands of sword tips that were originally high in the air suddenly became like a thousand shining stars, each one subtly resonating with the others, and at the same time, they all joined forces to attack Ji Ning together.
