Mythical Cultivation

Seeing Yin Lenghai executed, Pan Ning felt relieved. If he had let Yin Lenghai go unchecked for even a day, he didn't know how many people would have lost their lives because of him. Now that this demon had been eliminated, he finally felt relieved.

Looking at the bloodied Wu Ming, Pan Ning decided to first heal his fellow apprentice on the ground. Pan Ning first injected some vital energy into Wu Ming to stabilize his injuries, then stuffed several pills into his mouth. He then removed Yin Lenghai's head, retrieved his storage bag and flying sword, and left with Wu Ming.

Three days later, Wu Ming finally woke up. Seeing himself lying on a bed, he knew he was saved, but he didn't know where he was.

He was previously in a state of blurred consciousness and thought that he was completely finished this time, but unexpectedly he vaguely saw someone coming, and then he fell into a coma.

He looked at himself wrapped in bandages, wrapped like a dumpling, and felt pain everywhere. Then he looked inward and saw that all six vortexes were empty, as if his entire body had been hollowed out. This injury was serious, probably the worst he had suffered in years.

Wu Ming's awakening was noticed by a servant who had just finished changing Wu Ming's medicine. He hurried away, and Wu Ming was about to ask him where he was. Seeing this, Wu Ming also began to absorb the surrounding heavenly and earthly energy, filling the vortex a little. However, he didn't dare to do it too quickly, because if he did, he would feel like being pricked by needles.

After a cup of tea, the servant came into the room with a middle-aged man in a black robe who looked wealthy.

Before Wu Ming could open his mouth to speak, he heard the middle-aged man say, "You are seriously injured now. You should rest and recuperate as much as possible, and don't practice."

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Wu Ming also stopped absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth.

"I don't know what your name is, but Wu Ming would like to thank you for saving my life."

"Wu Ming, right? My name is Pan Ning, you can just call me Senior Brother."

When Wu Ming heard the middle-aged man ask him to call him senior brother, he realized that the person in front of him was also from Qingyun Sect, so he quickly took advantage of the situation.

"Brother Pan, I have to thank you for saving my life this time. I can never repay you. From now on, as long as Brother Pan has any instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Haha, that's not necessary. We are all from the Qingyun Sect, so we should help each other in times of trouble. If I, your senior brother, were to encounter an enemy, I'm sure you, your junior brother, wouldn't stand idly by.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, Yin Lenghai has long been on the sect's must-kill list. I have hunted him down several times before, but he escaped every time. If it weren't for my junior brother, I wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so easily this time. I have to thank my junior brother."

Pan Ning also said with a smile. He didn't think that he would need Wu Ming's help in anything. He said this just to discourage Wu Ming from repaying his kindness.

Wu Ming only now realized that the middle-aged man was a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, named Yin Lenghai.

"No wonder I felt that although Yin Lenghai's strength was high, he couldn't completely crush me. It turned out that he was being hunted by my senior brother and was injured."

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. How did you manage to provoke this demon? How did you injure him so badly and escape from his clutches?"

Pan Ning also raised his doubts. The place he first arrived at was the site of Wu Ming and Yin Lenghai's first battle. He saw that the battlefield area, covering hundreds of meters, was in tatters. He thought it was a battle between two Foundation Establishment cultivators. When he saw Yin Lenghai later, he was covered in wounds and missing an arm.

Even with Wu Ming's strength at the sixth level of Qi Refining, it would have been difficult for him to injure Yin Lenghai this badly. It wasn't that he looked down on Wu Ming's cultivation, but the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was enormous, at least ten times, and it wasn't something that could be easily bridged. Only a genius could fight a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Qi Refining cultivation.

But that requires the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining. For someone like Wu Ming, who is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, even a genius cannot hurt a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone defeat him.

Hearing Pan Ning's words, Wu Ming also smiled bitterly. This was not a victory at all, it was just an escape. If Yin Lenghai had not been careless, he would not have been injured so badly.

"Brother Pan, you think too highly of me. It was just an external object. I was lucky enough to purchase two Heavenly Thunder Seeds and some second-tier talismans from the sect's weapon hall, and then used some strategies. Furthermore, Yin Lenghai was already injured, and he was careless against a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator like me, which is why I got hurt.

As for how I offended Yin Lenghai, that was also an accident."

Wu Ming told Pan Ning about the sect mission he had accepted, how he investigated, tracked the Bilin Snake, and finally encountered Yin Lenghai.

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Pan Ning suddenly realized that it was a sect mission. However, this junior brother was unlucky. Even the lowest-level mission could attract a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Fortunately, Junior Brother Wu has a lot of wealth, otherwise he would have become a wronged soul in Yin Lenghai's hands before he arrived.

The battlefield was ravaged like that because of the power of the Heavenly Thunder Seed and the second-level talisman. No wonder he mistakenly thought that it was a battle between two Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, he would not underestimate Wu Ming because of this.

The Heavenly Thunder Seeds were powerful, but they required a specific target. Even if a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining possessed a Heavenly Thunder Seed, they wouldn't necessarily be able to harm a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The fact that Wu Ming could injure a battle-hardened Demon Sect disciple so severely already surpassed any cultivator of the same level at the ninth level.

"Junior brother, there's no need to be too modest. Your record alone is already better than ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the Qingyun Sect. Furthermore, your serious injury is largely due to you. If you hadn't been careless and allowed Yin Lenghai to escape, you wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster.

Junior brother, just take good care of your injuries. When you are well, I will not let you lose those things in vain."

After listening to Pan Ning's words, Wu Ming also realized that this senior brother was a person worth making friends with. He was not so complicated and did not have so many thoughts. He treated him, a Qi-refining cultivator, equally.

"Brother, you are too polite. If you hadn't come in time, I would have already passed away. You are my savior, how could I ask for your things?"

"You've lost so much, and it will also affect your own combat power. If you encounter danger in the future, you will have no way to defend yourself. I also got a lot of things from Yin Lenghai, and Yin Lenghai's head is also worth a lot of things. This is a Class C mission of the sect, I'm sure you will understand it.

I took the lion's share, and Junior Brother took the smaller share. I can't let Junior Brother's efforts go to waste. It's settled. If Junior Brother refuses again, it would be like he's looking down on me, and I'd be angry."

After hearing Pan Ning say this, Wu Ming knew that Pan Ning was sincere, and he couldn't refuse anymore.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Senior Brother."

Hearing Wu Ming agree, Pan Ning also smiled.

"Then you should have a good rest these days. No one will disturb you in my mansion. I will have someone change your medicine on time." After saying that, Pan Ning left with his attendants.
