Chapter 98: Chapter 96: Wishing Qingyun Dao Attainment and Becoming an Immortal

"The speed of constructing the fourth world channel is so slow..."

"It’s not about distance, nor my deep karmic connection with that world. It actually stems from simultaneously constructing three channels... It’s the limit that the Void Celestial Gate can bear."

Ning Xunqiu gazed at the Void Celestial Gate, secretly pondering in his heart.

"If I were to open another world gate, would it take millions of years?!"

Fortunately, the world gate he first worked on constructing was "Returning Void Heaven."

"Tap tap!"

At this moment, three hundred elite soldiers from the Red Flame Soldiers hurriedly came to guard this gate.

Upon hearing the sound, Ning Xunqiu, Ah Qing, and Gao Fei Xue each returned from their thoughts.

Ning Xunqiu looked at the two women beside him and softly asked, "Junior Sister, Ah Qing, aren’t you planning to go back and see Cyan Mountain?"

"No." Gao Fei Xue sighed lightly and declined gracefully.

Ah Qing gently shook her head, looking at Ning Xunqiu earnestly and said, "As long as there’s a place with Senior Brother, for me, that’s Cyan Mountain."

Ning Xunqiu smiled, gently stroking Ah Qing’s head, saying, "Senior Brother hasn’t cared for you in vain all these years. Ah Qing, you must cultivate well and don’t die easily."

"There aren’t many people Senior Brother cares about, and you’re definitely one of them."

After speaking, Ning Xunqiu took Gao Fei Xue out of Cyan Mountain to "Cliff Mountain" to find Bailing and the others.

The two had just arrived near Cliff Mountain.

"Second Brother, you finally made it here, coo."

A palm-sized seven-colored dove flapped its wings and landed on Ning Xunqiu’s shoulder. Its sound was crisp like a bell, exceptionally melodious, "Hello Sister-in-law~ coo."

Gao Fei Xue’s lips curved into a gentle smile, "Bailing, hello there."

Ning Xunqiu’s lips slightly curled up, leisurely taking out a crystal clear Cyan Jade Spirit Seed from his sleeve, carefully feeding it to the seven-colored dove on his shoulder.

Soon after joining the Liuli Immortal Venerable sect, the Zizhu Demon Master returned, seemingly aware of some insider information.

Wenren Hong, curious at heart, went to ask the closest ones: Bailing and Monkey, only to find out that Ning Xunqiu had saved Jade Sky Immortal Island.

Then, he formed a deep friendship with one person and five demons at Cliff Mountain, and naturally became sworn brothers. Ning Xunqiu never looked down on these friends despite his outstanding strength.

"Chirp~"

At this time, a clear call came from another direction.

"Flame Sparrow, hello coo~"

The seven-colored dove immediately stretched out its head, waving its colorful wings, greeting Flame Sparrow.

Soon after, Bailing transitioned into the main topic:

"Second Brother, Big Sister Head and Bi Ji specifically went to other mortal countries, trading spiritual objects for a massive amount of gold, as much as a million catties! If it’s not enough, we can go and exchange more."

"Chirp chirp!" Flame Sparrow’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing the word "gold."

"A million catties of gold are enough." Ning Xunqiu nodded.

He calculated in his heart, the gold required for casting spirit weapons would not exceed 100,000 catties.

And the remaining 900,000 catties, he planned to allocate a third for reserve, providing them to the battle generals in the Red Flame Army capable of raising troops to forge spirit weapons.

As for the rest, it would be left to Flame Sparrow as food.

Enough to consume for a hundred years.

The seven-colored dove continued, "There’s also a surprise coo~"

"What?"

"Second Brother, don’t ask much coo~~"

Bailing transformed into human form, pulling Ning Xunqiu along the path.

On Cliff Mountain, Wenren Hong, Panda, Old Niu, Bi Ji, and Monkey gathered together, a red cloth covered the stone table before them.

"Dun dun!"

Monkey lifted the red cloth, revealing an antique purple pill furnace with a faint purple light flowing on it.

He pointed to the pill furnace, introducing it one by one:

"Second Brother, this Purple-Blue Furnace, was specially prepared for you by our careful efforts."

"Sixth Sister suggested, Third Sister ran around, using her connections to find the precious pill furnace diagram, Big Sister generously provided rare spiritual materials for refining, and Old Niu, with his superb craftsmanship, personally crafted it."

"And Brother Xiong devoted all his efforts, meticulously carving the array patterns on the furnace body."

"After three years, Second Brother, are you satisfied?" Monkey’s face was smug.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Ning Xunqiu accepted the Purple-Blue Furnace, his gaze swept over the smiling faces of one person and five demons, a warm current surged in his heart. Immediately, he turned to Monkey, laughing, "But—"

"Seventh Brother, why is it that you didn’t contribute at all?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Monkey’s proud expression froze instantly, he awkwardly scratched his head, then fetched a banana from somewhere, skillfully peeling it, "Second Brother, here, want a fresh banana?"

Ning Xunqiu took the banana, laughing scoldingly, "Get lost, thinking you can fob me off with just a banana?"

Monkey was instantly aggrieved.

Wenren Hong and Panda exchanged a glance, bursting out in hearty laughter, "Hahaha, Monkey, you watched us closely throughout the process, yet couldn’t find a single gap to join in!"

Several people teased and bantered about Monkey.

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, sit down, let’s taste this freshly brewed tea." After a ruckus, Panda warmly invited.

"Sure." Ning Xunqiu sat down with his wife Gao Fei Xue, smiling.

At the Purple Bamboo Mountain meeting, the Seven Friends of Cliff Mountain brewed tea around the stove, talking and laughing.

"‌Zheng zheng~"

The crisp and pleasing sound of a zither, accompanied by the roaring waves of the sea, serenely floated into the distance, echoing endlessly.

...

Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth.

Ning Xunqiu held the Purple-Blue Furnace, examining it carefully, there were quite a few surprises, with the crooked smiles of one person and five demons carved upon it, and a line of elegant handwriting below—Wishing Qingyun attainment in the Dao, carefree longevity.

He chuckled softly, gently placing the Purple-Blue Furnace down.

Opening the Celestial Derivation Volume, he found the Demon Sword Life page.

...

[The next day, the beggar carrying the Demon Sword seized the opportunity to transfer it, just then, a team of knights in armor rode through the streets. Unable to avoid in time, the beggar stumbled instantly, spraying blood, staining the bluestone street.]

[The knight only glanced back quickly before spurring his horse away, disappearing in a cloud of dust.]

...

Ning Xunqiu glanced at the Fortune column.

[Current Fortune: 329~398.]

Since the Gold Life "Martial Master" received a massive amount of fortune, he no longer needed to calculate meticulously.

Ning Xunqiu took up the pen.

[The next sword carrier holding the Demon Sword will not die the following day.]

[Use five points of fortune to rewrite this segment of life?]

"This takes five points of fortune, let’s first use ten points of fortune to see." Ning Xunqiu pondered slightly, weighing in his heart that Demon Sword Life concerns "Primordial Spirit Dao Practice" which is very worth investing in, then he writes.

[The next sword carrier has great fortune, can hold the Demon Sword long-term, and I can forcefully bind the sword carrier by some mysterious means.]

[Use twelve points of fortune to rewrite this segment of life?]

Ning Xunqiu’s eyes lit up.

"Adding this, it doesn’t need permanent use of fortune, nice."

"Rewrite."
