I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 259 Sailing Arrangement, Strange Disciple

“Xu Ning, now that the Swallow Heron Sect is on the right track, you don’t have to do everything yourself, right?”

Duan Chaofeng asked Xu Ning. “No, besides cultivating in peace, I usually refine some medicinal pills…”

Xu Ning obviously wouldn’t tell Duan Chaofeng that he didn’t need to cultivate.

“You know how to refine medicinal pills? You are a master alchemist?”

Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He looked at Xu Ning in surprise when they heard what he said.

It seemed that they didn’t know much about Xu Ning

“I am indeed a master alchemist…”

Xu Ning admitted.

Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He both looked surprised.

“I truly underestimated you!”

Duan Chaofeng walked next to Xu Ning and patted his shoulder.

Zhang He didn’t say anything, but when he saw Duan Chaofeng’s intimate behavior towards Xu Ning, the corner of his eyes twitched.

Zhang He knew very well that this prince of his was very arrogant to the bones.

He rarely showed this current side to his subordinates.

This showed that Duan Chaofeng thought highly of Xu Ning.

‘When the prince inherits the position of the Harmony King, Xu Ning will probably become an important official in the mansion…’

Zhang He thought to himself.

Just as Zhang He was thinking, Duan Chaofeng admired Xu Ning.

Otherwise, he would not have given Xu Ning such a precious gift.

It was a secret treasure after all.

“Oh yeah…”

Duan Chaofeng seemed to remember something. “We just talked about how you don’t have to do everything yourself with how the sect is currently operating. In that case, you should have some free time.”

“That is true.”

Xu Ning responded.

He could tell that Duan Chaofeng seemed to have something to ask of him.

“In this case, come with me to the sea in a month, to an overseas island.”

Duan Chaofeng said. ‘Going to an overseas island in a month…’

Xu Ning didn’t know Duan Chaofeng’s aim, but he didn’t ask. He just agreed. “Yes, Your Highness.”

Duan Chaofeng smiled when he saw Xu Ning agreeing without hesitation.

“This trip is very important. We are going to capture a Night Beast.”

Duan Chaofeng explained the reason to Xu Ning without hiding any details.

“Capture a Night Beast?”

Xu Ning’s pupils contracted. After staying in State Wansheng for so long, he had obviously heard of a Night Beast.

One of the six apex demon beasts that could easily advance to the high level of the dao realm, or even the limit of the dao realm.

Moreover, because of their special bloodlines, the six apex demon beasts all had strange abilities that seemed to exceed martial arts.

Even Gray and Cyan were not strong enough to fight against any one of the six apex demon beasts.

“That’s right.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “This trip overseas will be dangerous, but you don’t have to worry. I have already asked my father to transfer a dao realm seventh stage master to my side.” Xu Ning’s heart stirred. ‘A high-level dao realm seventh stage master…’

It seemed that he was not the main force to capture the Night Beast.

The key to capture that Night Beast would definitely be that high-level master.

“I’ll give you half a month to prepare.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “In half a month, go to the mansion and find me. At that time, we will go out to sea together.”

“Also…”

Duan Chaofeng said, “Don’t you have two demon beasts with extremely high bloodlines? You can take them with you. There must be a lot of resources that are beneficial to demon beasts in places that can attract a Night Beast. If you take them with you, they might have a chance to advance.”

Duan Chaofeng was concerned about Xu Ning.

In fact, with Xu Ning’s true combat strength, even if he was comparable to a dao realm fifth stage, he would not be of much help at the critical moment.

The reason why Xu Ning was called along this time was because Duan Chaofeng wanted Xu Ning to show his face in the mansion.

He wanted the people in the other residences to know that Xu Ning was supported by him, so that they could be ready when he would promote Xu Ning as a trusted aide in the future.

Xu Ning finally understood Duan Chaofeng’s intentions.

“Understood, Your Highness.”

Xu Ning responded.

“Also…”

Duan Chaofeng said, “We have another competitor in our trip to capture the Night Beast: Mo Lan, daughter of the Promise King of State Luzhi.”

“Huh? Princess Mo Lan?”

Xu Ning’s eyes narrowed.

This Princess Mo Lan was the backer of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.

Xu Ning had always been hostile to her.

However, the difference in status between the two sides was too great.

Even when he detained the people from the Wind Parasol Pavilion, Xu Ning did not kill them, all because he did not want Princess Mo Lan to hold a grudge against him.

“She should be sending the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect as her main forces. This time, you might have a chance to face these two sects.”

Duan Chaofeng observed Xu Ning’s expression and noticed that his expression remained unchanged.

“Okay, that’s it for today.”

Duan Chaofeng waved his sleeves. “I’m going back to the mansion first. I’ll see you in half a month.”

After that, Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He got on the back of the rainbow-colored bird.

“Farewell, Your Highness.”

Xu Ning bowed.

Afterwards, the rainbow-colored bird spread its wings and disappeared from Xu Ning’s vision.

‘Night beast, Princess Mo Lan, Wind Parasol Pavilion, Green Edge Sect…’

Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘It seems that I will face some challenges in the future…’

While he was thinking, Cheng Zengtao came up to the main peak.

“Sect Master, was it the Harmony Prince just now?”

Cheng Zengtao asked.

When Duan Chaofeng rode the rainbow-colored bird and hovered at the main peak, Cheng Zengtao rushed to the foot of the main peak.

“That’s right.”

Xu Ning said, “The prince came specially to congratulate the Swallow Heron Sect on taking back our old grounds. He also gave us a secret treasure as a gift.”

Cheng Zengtao was full of smiles when he heard that.

Not many sects in State Guqing had the qualifications to be personally congratulated by the Harmony Prince.

More than half a year ago, Cheng Zengtao still didn’t know when the Swallow Heron Sect would be rebuilt.

And in just more than half a year later, the Harmony Prince even took the initiative to visit and congratulate them, even giving them a secret treasure as a gift. “Sect Master, what is the secret treasure given by the prince?”

Cheng Zengtao also wanted to know.

The Harmony Prince was a big shot in State Guqing, so Cheng Zengtao was extremely curious.

“The Small Tree World.” Xu Ning took out the palm-sized black seed. “The Small Tree World?!”

Cheng Zengtao’s eyes widened.

“You know about the Small Tree World?”

Xu Ning didn’t expect Cheng Zengtao to be so knowledgeable. He obviously knew what the Small Tree World was.

“The Small Tree World is a spatial treasure. Not only can it store things, but it can also allow people to enter it. It can absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world, and the concentration of spiritual energy inside it is several times higher than the outside world. If martial artists are able to enter it, they can greatly accelerate their cultivation speed.”

Cheng Zengtao knew the treasure well. “It is a treasure that every sect wants to obtain. With this Small Tree World, the disciples’ cultivation speed will be greatly increased. It is said that in the Harmony King Mansion, there is a Big Tree World, which is several levels higher than a Small Tree World. Even then, it is a top-notch treasure.” “You sure are knowledgeable about it…”

Xu Ning noticed Cheng Zengtao’s excitement and knew that he had probably learned about the Small Tree World a long time ago.

“Since you like it so much, I will let you take care of this Small Tree World.”

Xu Ning put the Small Tree World into Cheng Zengtao’s hands.

“This…”

Cheng Zengtao was dazed for a moment. “Leave this Small Tree World to me?”

This was an extremely rare treasure, yet Xu Ning just handed it to Cheng Zengtao so casually

Cheng Zengtao was shocked. Xu Ning smiled. “This Small Tree World is useless in my hands. It is at most a larger storage ring. I already have the Hidden Moon Bead, so I don’t need it at all.”

“You, on the other hand, are responsible for handling the affairs of the sect and disciplining the disciples. This thing will be more effective in your hands. Plus, it is very beneficial for our disciples.”

“Sect Master…”

Leaving such a precious treasure to him, Cheng Zengtao felt Xu Ning’s trust in him. “Sect Master, don’t worry, I will definitely use this Small Tree World well to help all the disciples improve their martial arts level.”

Cheng Zengtao promised. “Mmm…”

Xu Ning nodded. “This Small Tree World can be used as a reward for the disciples. Only those who perform well can be allowed to enter, so don’t let everyone in.” The reason why Xu Ning said this was to maintain some internal competition in the Swallow Heron Sect.

Only when the disciples competed would everyone be energetic, allowing the Swallow Heron Sect to grow faster.

“Understood, Sect Master.”

Cheng Zengtao responded. “By the way, Sect Master.” Cheng Zengtao didn’t have a stable spatial secret treasure, so he could only hold the seed in his hand. “Something interesting happened just now.” Cheng Zengtao said, “Just now, a void realm martial artist came to join the sect.”

“This void realm martial artist went to Guanghe Canton to be a disciple, but when he came to Guanghe Canton, he discovered that our sect had already moved. So after a long journey, he rushed to Chuiyun Mountain and applied to become a disciple.”

“Oh?”

Xu Ning smiled. “This disciple is quite obsessed with our Swallow Heron Sect. If his aptitude is not too poor, and if there are not too many sect members, we can accept him as a disciple.”

When Cheng Zengtao heard this, he smiled bitterly. “The guest elder responsible for accepting disciples also thought the same. But when he was about to accept him into the sect, he said that he only wanted to be the disciple of the Sect Master.”

“He only wants to be my disciple?”

Xu Ning shook his head slightly. Hundreds of disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect also wanted to be Xu Ning’s disciple, so Xu Ning would definitely not agree to this request.

“Yes, when the guest elder heard this, he explained to him that he should first become an inner disciple after entering the sect. But he didn’t listen, so the guest elder could only refuse him.”

“However, this kid refused to leave, so the guest elder went to find me. But just when I was about to go and take a look, I saw the prince’s flying bird rushing to the main peak, so I didn’t see him. I wonder if the kid has left yet.”

Cheng Zengtao said with a strange expression.

Obviously, he also felt that this disciple was a little strange.

“Interesting…” When Xu Ning heard this, he was also interested. “Come, let’s go see him together and see what kind of confidence he has to take only the Sect Master as his master.”
