Ji Ning hesitated.

  Which one should I choose?

  "Senior." Ji Ning asked very obediently, "After my Divine Spirit Body reaches the Wanxiang stage and I pass through the fourth floor of the War God's Temple, I will have another chance to choose a treasure. Will there be better treasures then?"

  "Of course there are better ones!" Huang Mao Da Xiong said confidently, "Better than the Earth Fire Heart Lamp, the Cold Frost Mirror, and the Cold Abyss Sword Array... There must be, and not just one! Now you've only passed the third layer of the War God Temple, how could I possibly bring out the best earth-grade treasures now? If those treasures were brought out, you wouldn't choose the Earth Fire Heart Lamp and the others."

  "Hurry up and choose, there are many treasures after all. Unfortunately, it's impossible for you to take them all." Huang Mao Da Xiong looked at Ji Ning, "The master left so many treasures, not just for one master. If you die, you should also leave some treasures for the next master, shouldn't you?"

  Ji Ning secretly curled her lip.

  Crow's mouth!

  Death?

  Ji Ning absolutely did not want to fail on this path of cultivation.

  "I choose it." Ji Ning pointed at the page that had just been turned over, which was precisely the one recording the Frostscythe Sword Formation.

  "I really want to get the Earth Fire Heart Lamp and the Cold Killing Mirror," Ji Ning thought to herself, "but the Earth Fire Heart Lamp and the Cold Killing Mirror cannot increase my strength in a short period of time, whereas the Cold Ming Sword Array can immediately increase my strength! These nine Cold Ming swords are top-grade earth-level treasures, and they are also one of the three longevity paths. Just in terms of power, they are even more powerful than ordinary heavenly flying swords, and can make my 'Small Thousand Swords Array' power increase by a whole level!"

  The closer one's abilities are to their limits, the more difficult it is to make even a slight improvement. To raise them by an entire level is even more extremely difficult.

  The main reason is that the power of the Cold Nether Sword Formation itself is too strong.

  If you want to buy Tianbao Mountain, the price of Hansheng Sword is more than that of ordinary Tiandao Flying Sword. Due to its rarity, it can reach 10,000 kilograms per handle! This same origin Di Jie extreme product is even harder to come by... A whole set for sale, at least 1 million yuan liquid.

  One hundred thousand kilograms of yuan liquid?

  This was enough to make the Yuanshen Taoists change color, and Ji Ning was lucky to have picked up the 'corpse of the Dragon Whale Demon King' without such a harvest.

  The power of 'Xiao Qian Jian Zhen' is completely reliant on the mighty flying swords piling up! There's no falsehood to this point at all!

  "Luckily I have Jingbao Hall," Ji Ning thought to himself. "The Small Thousand Swords Array also met me, and was able to unleash such a terrifying power."

  This sword array is just like a magic treasure - the stronger it is, the more against heaven it becomes.

  Although the original "Thousand Swords Immortal" had made a big name for himself, he still fell at the hands of Yunhua Immortal. But Ji Ning has the "Treasured Pavilion" behind him, and this small Thousand Swords Array will surely have an astonishing power.

  "Come." Yellow Fur Great Bear beckoned upwards with a distant gesture.

  In the depths of the void above, a point of starlight suddenly descended. It quickly pierced through the ban and arrived in front of Ji Ning, these were nine flying swords that were entirely black in color. Although they were entirely black, they had a very lustrous sheen, from the side, one could still faintly see a layer of deep green light on the surface of the flying swords.

  Beauty is an art form.

  "Perfect." Ji Ning couldn't help but softly praise, directly releasing his yuan force, and strands of sky blue yuan force wrapped around the nine Cold Abyss Flying Swords, easily refining them.

  Ji Ning's heart moved slightly, and he saw nine starlights revolving around him in a circle.

  "It's no less than the might of a Heavenly Ladder treasure!" Ji Ning couldn't help but praise.

  Heavenly Staircase Treasure. Only cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Path can activate it.

  And the treasure he used now had such mighty power, so it was called 'Earthly Supreme Treasure'. Moreover, he had a full set of nine handles!

  "This is probably enough to make Yuan Shen Dao people jealous. Come and kill me in the next life." Ji Ning said with a soft smile.

  "If you don't personally refine it, just watching is hard to determine the grade of a treasure." said Huang Mao Da Xiong.

  "Good baby."

  Ji Ning is getting more and more beautiful.

  "Go on, if you want to choose another treasure, go back and cultivate well." Huang Mao Da Xiong urged.

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Suddenly a huge bear skull phantom appeared and swallowed Ji Ning in one gulp.

  ******

  Yixi Lake's Mingxin Island soon learned that Ji Ning had come out of his closed-door meditation after more than half a month.

  Except for Ji Ning, no one knew of the existence of 'Shui Fu', and since Ji Ning was not to be disturbed while in closed-door meditation, everyone thought he had been meditating all along.

  "Master, master." The young maid in green appeared at the door of the quiet room in an instant.

  Ji Ning walked out of the quiet room and looked up at the outside. The outside was filled with a chilling air, and the sky was still drifting with goose feather-like snowflakes.

  "Master, how is it that since you went into seclusion, I can no longer sense your presence?" The green-robed girl looked at Ji Ning with a puzzled expression, asking through their mental connection, "It feels as if you're very far away, but I'm your spiritual beast and our contract hasn't been dissolved, so I know you're not dead. But since you're not dead, why can't I sense you?"

  Bai Shui Ze walked over beside her and also communicated spiritually: "Ning Er, previously when you were in closed cultivation, this empty Qing Snake came looking for you, I stopped her."

  "Oh." Ji Ning smiled.

  When I first entered the Water Temple that year, it caused concern for both my father and mother. They all knew that I had entered a special place of ancient relics. Bai Shu also knew about this very early on.

  "I've had a strange encounter," said Ji Ning.

  "What a coincidence?" Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.

  The endless land ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty is full of secrets, anything can happen. Even in the midst of a fierce battle, an ancient demon god can suddenly appear out of nowhere. What else can't happen?

  Qing Qing understood that Ji Ning didn't want to talk about it in detail, and couldn't help but mutter: "So petty."

  Ji Ning smiled.

  The matter involves the Three Lifespan Daoist, and its impact is so great that it's likely to shake all three realms! How could Ji Ning dare spread it casually? After all, he is now the master of the Water Mansion, and only he can enter the Water Mansion. Others are unable to enter the Water Mansion... So Ji Ning didn't even tell his parents, after all, they couldn't enter either, telling them would only lead to trouble, not good fortune.

  "Gongzi." A distant autumn leaf walked over with a happy smile on his face, "You've come out of seclusion, you were in seclusion for so many days, Ji Mo Gongzi also came and wanted to ask for your guidance."

  "Did he come?" Ji Ning nodded, "In those three days after I just came back, he indeed didn't come."

  Ji Mo is arguably the best among the younger generation of the Ji family, aside from himself.

  "Ji Mo Gongzi was also out and about, tempering himself," said Autumn Leaf. "So after the young master returned, the clan leader sent people to find Ji Mo Gongzi, which took several days. On the ninth day of your seclusion, Ji Mo Gongzi came alone."

  Ji Ning smiled and nodded.

  Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, and with just two flashes, he was already close by. It was a handsome young man with a tall and majestic build, and a pair of sword-like eyebrows. His gaze at Ji Ning was even more fervent, and he immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Greetings, Young Master Ji Ning."

  "It seems you've made quite a bit of progress over the years." Ji Ning smiled and praised.

  At first glance, Ji Mo's temperament has changed a lot. The former Ji Mo was quiet, but now he seems like an unsheathed battle sword, with a strong fighting spirit honed from battles.

  "It's still far from being comparable to Gongzi." Ji Mo said respectfully.

  "If you don't mind, you can come over and stay for a while anytime." Ji Ning said suddenly.

  Ji Mo was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a joyful expression.

  At that time, he knelt down and begged Ji Ning to accept him as a disciple, but Ji Ning was focused on seeking the Tao at the time and didn't have time for him. Now, Ji Ning has decided to stay in Winged Snake Lake... and is naturally willing to occasionally take out some time to guide the best of the younger generation of the Ji family, apart from himself. This is also a way to cultivate high-level experts for the Ji family.

  Suddenly——

  "Is Junior Brother Ji Ning here?" A very familiar voice instantly echoed throughout the entire Winged Snake Lake.

  "Junior Brother Ji Ning?"

  "Call me Shizun's junior brother?" Akira's face showed a look of astonishment.

  "Calling out to Master Ning?" Many of the maids and others on Ming Xin Island looked at each other in shock and confusion. The island master was naturally the owner of Ming Xin Island, Ji Ning.

  "Junior Brother?"

  In an instant, the islanders of Winged Serpent Lake were filled with puzzlement and curiosity. Only a very small number of people who knew that Ji Ning had entered the Black and White Academy guessed: "I'm afraid it's the disciples of the Black and White Academy who have come."

  ……

  Upon hearing this voice, Ji Ning was equally astonished and involuntarily raised his head to look in the direction of the sound.

  All I saw was a sailboat flying in from afar, with two beautiful figures faintly visible on the sailboat.

  "Ning Er, it seems like those two female seniors of yours are after you." Bai Shuizhe transmitted his voice, "You're really something, to have two female seniors chasing after you upon your return."

  "It's just a casual visit." Ji Ning glanced at Uncle Bai.

  Bai Shuizhe couldn't help but laugh.

  Ji Ning immediately looked up and gazed at the sailboat in the distance, softly saying: "However, it's indeed a coincidence. I just left the passageway. They also happened to arrive."

  Whoosh.

  Ji Ning immediately rose into the air with a whooshing sound, directly meeting her: "Jiu Lian Shijie, Qing Qing Shijie."

  In the sky above Winged Snake Lake, Jiulian in her aqua-blue Daoist robe and Qingqing in her silver dress also flew down.

  "I learned from Wooden Brother that you, Ji Ning Brother, reside here." Jiu Lian smiled and said, "This time I came out to travel, passing by Yan Mountain, I thought of coming to visit. Brother indeed has a good eye for choosing this beautiful place... the vast Winged Snake Lake, and the island in the middle of the lake is also very beautiful."

  Ji Ning turned her head to look, and indeed, at a glance, the rippling water was like jade, and the island in the center of the lake, with its countless flowers and grasses, as well as its pavilions and towers, was truly a secluded paradise.

  "Sister, you don't know that this place was originally a lair of a monster," Ji Ning said with a smile. "Later, I eliminated the monster and arranged for many people to reform and tidy up the island for a long time, turning it into its current state. Two sisters, let's not talk too much here, come on, take a look around the island, and also let Brother Ji show his hospitality."

  "Go."

  Jiulian Shijie, Qingqing Shijie and Ji Ning immediately flew down.

  Some mortal servants and maids on Mingxin Island whispered: "Wow, fairy!"

  "In flight."

  "So beautiful."

  "Immortal."

  Whatever people get excited about.

  Ji Ning and the other two quickly descended, and Qing Xuan and Bai Shui Ze naturally followed.

  "Are these two big demons the 'Qing Qing' and 'Bai Shu' that Mu Shidi mentioned, the Azure Serpent and the White Water Marsh?" Jiulian asked with a smile.

  "What, Qingqing!" The silver-robed woman beside her suddenly widened her eyes.

  "Yes, Qingqing, she's also called Qingqing." Jiulian was holding back her laughter, and this sentence had been held back for a long time, waiting until the two "Qingqings" met to say it.
