Chapter 572
Battlefield of the Boundary Sea
The two quickly reached the mountainside, where there was a square and two large halls nearby.
There are many caves on the mountainside on both sides, obviously for the disciples here to cultivate.
"Senior Sister Xu, someone is looking for you."
The man shouted towards one of the attics.
Ning Qi looked over curiously, but didn't say anything, just quietly staring at the pavilion in front of him.
"coming!"
Soon, a long-lost voice rang out.
It was Xu Qingqiu's voice.
As she came down from the attic, the first thing she saw was her junior brother.
Then he saw Ning Qi standing next to him.
Ning Qi was looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Ning Qi!"
Xu Qingqiu exclaimed in surprise, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
I never expected that after so long, I would actually run into Ning Qi again.
He even managed to find his own sect.
"Long time no see!"
Ning Qi also wore a bright smile.
"Miss Xu!"
The spirit was also bouncing on his shoulder.
I was exceptionally happy.
"Medicine Spirit".
The first person to call his name was not Xu Qingqiu, but the Nine-Tailed Cat.
Although they didn't spend much time together, they always thought about each other.
Upon seeing the nine-tailed cat, Yaoling flew straight over.
Then it bounced around on the nine-tailed cat.
How did you find your way here?
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi with an incredulous expression on her pretty face.
"What, you're not welcoming me?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"Welcome, of course you're welcome!"
Xu Qingqiu quickly agreed, and then took the initiative to invite, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
"it is good!"
Ning Qi agreed.
"Junior brother, you've worked hard!"
Before leaving, Xu Qingqiu didn't forget to thank the person from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"Senior sister, you're too kind. I'll be going now!"
The man clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then left.
Ning Qi followed Xu Qingqiu directly to the pavilion.
This was clearly where she stayed, and there were some ancient books and other books on the shelves inside.
"Do you usually live here?"
Looking at the books here, Ning Qi couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
"Yes, it's my turn to be on duty this month!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded, then asked, "You still haven't answered me. How did you find your way here?"
"Didn't you tell me this? This is how I found it."
Ning Qi smiled and casually recounted a very complicated matter.
"Thank you for remembering to come see me!"
Xu Qingqiu naturally knew that the process would not be so easy.
"Why are you being so polite?"
Ning Qi smiled and then continued, "We're friends. I haven't apologized to you yet for not having a chance to say goodbye back then."
"No, it's me who didn't say goodbye!"
Xu Qingqiu corrected him, then asked curiously, "By the way, how did you get out?"
"That place was sealed off back then, and I've been waiting for you outside for a long time."
"Unfortunately... a twisted monster is coming to attack, so I have to leave."
"I was taken in as a successor of the immortal race by an old monster inside."
"Then they forced me to cultivate for a long time. When I came out, I found that everyone had already left."
"After I came out, I still couldn't find you, so I came to your world based on my memories."
Ning Qi continued, "Later, I finally found out where you were, and then I came."
He also simplified a complex process.
Xu Qingqiu could naturally understand the meaning behind his words.
"I see. I was worried you were sealed inside!"
Xu Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "You must be tired from your journey. Let me take you to try some of our local delicacies!"
"These are delicacies that only immortals can enjoy; you'll definitely love them."
"Oh? Then I'll have to try it and see if it's as amazing as you say."
Ning Qi became curious after hearing her words.
"I want some too!"
Upon hearing their conversation, Yao Ling immediately jumped up and down.
The nine-tailed cat remarked from the side, "You still love to eat so much."
"Of course, who would turn down food!"
Yao Ling didn't care at all and came over to Xu Qingqiu: "Then let's hurry up and go, I'm actually feeling hungry."
"Okay, let's go!"
Xu Qingqiu gently patted Yao Ling, then looked at Ning Qi: "Let's go."
"go!"
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, then left with her immediately.
I headed downstairs.
After they got downstairs, they didn't go down the mountain, but continued up the mountain.
They quickly reached the summit, and then continued downhill without stopping.
In this way, they essentially arrived directly at the back mountain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ning Qi looked at the scene before him and felt refreshed.
This place is full of rare and exotic herbs and plants, with some dense forest on one side, and further ahead you can see the lush green Lingshu.
This place was clearly planted intentionally and arranged in a very orderly manner.
Ahead, there are several more houses.
"These houses are the residences of the elders."
"The innermost valley is the residence of our Supreme Elder, which consists of cave dwellings."
"Then did you see that mountain peak on the other side?"
Xu Qingqiu began to introduce Ning Qi.
"Yes, I see it. Is there a problem?"
Ning Qi glanced ahead and asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the residence of our closed-door disciples."
"It is also the mountain where they cultivate. Our sect leader and several protectors cultivate and live on it."
“There is a similar place on the back of their mountain, but it is better than ours.”
Xu Qingqiu began to explain: "My master is in this house up ahead."
"Oh? So, I have a chance to see your master?"
Ning Qi smiled and asked after hearing her words.
"Yes, I'll take you to see my master."
"By the way, please try our delicious food at his mansion!"
Xu Qingqiu said with a smile.
Ning Qi could tell that she had a very good relationship with her master.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bring so many people to his residence so casually.
This must be where these elders cultivate; they wouldn't allow anyone to disturb them.
Ning Qi followed her all the way to the entrance of the mansion.
They were able to enter without any problems.
This led to the discovery that there was actually an array of restrictions in the courtyard.
However, with Xu Qingqiu leading the way, it naturally did not trigger the arousal.
"Master!"
Xu Qingqiu called out as soon as she entered.
"Junior Sister, Master has gone out."
At this moment, a young man stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, where did he go?"
Xu Qingqiu asked.
"They went up to the mountain on the other side. The sect leader invited them, saying there was something important to discuss."
The young man pointed to the mountain peak that Xu Qingqiu had just introduced to Ning Qi and said.
"Oh? They went to discuss business."
"That's a real shame, we'll just have to eat it ourselves."
Xu Qingqiu nodded, then said to Ning Qi, "Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen in the backyard. You're in for a treat today, I'll cook for you myself."
"Alright! Then I'd like to try your cooking."
Ning Qi readily agreed, looking on with anticipation.
"I want some too!"
Yao Ling followed behind and said.
"Junior sister, who is this?"
The young man looked at Ning Qi, scrutinizing him with curiosity.
The person looked unfamiliar, so I asked out of curiosity.
"Senior brother, this is Ning Qi, whom I've told you about, who saved me several times!"
Xu Qingqiu looked at the young man and took the initiative to introduce him.
"Ah? So you're Ning Qi! Nice to meet you!"
Upon hearing that it was Ning Qi, the young man took the initiative to greet him.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry to bother you."
Ning Qi was also very polite.
"Don't mention it! You've saved my junior sister several times; we haven't properly thanked you yet!"
The young man waved his hand and said, "You guys eat first, I have something to do!"
“It’s evening, so I’ve called a few of my fellow apprentices over. Let’s go out to a restaurant to express our gratitude to you.”
"Senior brother, there's no need for that. I've already disturbed you all, how could I accept your invitation to a meal?"
Ning Qi waved his hand.
I never expected them to be so polite.
"Don't mention it, you are our savior, it's what we should do!"
The young man persisted, saying, "It's settled then. You can't not come. I'm leaving now."
"Take care, senior brother!"
Xu Qingqiu smiled and waved his hand, then patted Ning Qi on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the backyard."
"Miss Xu, your senior brothers are really enthusiastic!"
Ning Qi followed her, smiling as he spoke.
"Yes, we are all very united."
"Compared to other elders, our lineage is the most friendly!"
Xu Qingqiu said very seriously, "Therefore, we all cherish our brotherhood."
"Okay, I understand!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then followed her to the backyard.
We arrived at the backyard quickly.
"Come on, you start the fire. You have to use your internal energy to burn it, otherwise the spiritual energy here won't cook properly."
Xu Qingqiu began assigning tasks to Ning Qi.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
Xu Qingqiu got busy, and the Nine-Tailed Cat and Yao Ling also joined in to help.
The group of people were busy and having a great time.
They quickly prepared a meal.
Four dishes and one soup, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
Looking at the delicious-looking and fragrant food, Yao Ling's mouth was already watering.
Wow, this looks delicious!
Yao Ling rubbed his hands together, already quite impatient.
"Then let's eat, don't be shy."
Xu Qingqiu said with a smile.
At the same time, she didn't forget to put some food on Ning Qi's plate: "Try this, it's venison, we brought it back from the Immortal Realm."
"Oh? You can even go to the Immortal Realm?"
Ning Qi immediately became interested after hearing her words.
"Yes, our sect leader is at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm."
"I have to go to the Immortal Realm every three years!"
“They always bring back a lot of rare and precious treasures.”
“These deer were all brought back by him, and we keep them in captivity on the back mountain.”
Xu Qingqiu said with great pride, "In our realm, our sect leader is the strongest, and no one can rival him."
"Oh? The strength of a peak Celestial Immortal is the strongest?"
Ning Qi became interested immediately after hearing what she said.
If that's the case, then wouldn't my strength be at its peak in this realm?
"Yeah, you just arrived so you don't know yet!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded, then picked up a piece of meat for him: "If there's a chance, I'll introduce you to our sect leader, and then you'll understand."
"What are the strengths of your Supreme Elders? And what about your Dharma Protectors?"
This, ironically, became something that interested Ning Qi.
"They are all at the level of Celestial Immortals, and the two guardians are also at the level of Celestial Immortals of the ninth rank."
"It is said that our sect leader has already reached the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal."
Xu Qingqiu thought about it seriously and then said to Ning Qi.
"They're all very strong!"
Ning Qi said with emotion.
This is definitely not on the same level as their True Martial Spirit Realm.
The few of them only possessed the strength of True Immortals; in the Myriad Swords Sect, they would only be ordinary elders.
They are not qualified to be their supreme elders at all.
"Come on, eat your food!"
Xu Qingqiu began to serve Ning Qi dishes.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi stopped thinking about it and began to eat heartily.
The two of them ate with great relish, and Yaoling and the Nine-Tailed Cat also enjoyed their meal very much.
"Stay with us for a few more days, and I'll show you around!"
While eating, Xu Qingqiu said enthusiastically, "Let me show you the scenery and local customs of our place."
"Okay, I'll take a look!"
Ning Qi readily agreed, because he actually wanted to see the strength of their Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"That's great! Let's eat quickly, and I'll take you again tomorrow!"
Xu Qingqiu was delighted to hear that he wanted to stay a few more days.
"By the way, besides your Myriad Swords Sect, what other sects here are quite powerful?"
Ning Qi was also very interested in this.
He wanted to see just how big the gap was between the True Martial Spirit Realm and the strength of their lower realm.
"There are also two other sects."
"Although their strength is not as great as ours, they still have a few experts at the Celestial Immortal level."
"If we try to fight them head-on, we'll suffer losses."
"Moreover, we don't dare to fight head-on, because if we push them too far, they will join forces."
"If we defeat one force, the other force will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on us."
"In short, our tripartite balance of power is not going to be broken easily."
Xu Qingqiu continued talking to Ning Qi, "We both know this very well, so we rarely have any conflicts. Even if things get urgent, we can always get along peacefully."
"I see. No wonder there are so many experts here."
"If there were no conflict, no one would fall, and strength would only increase."
"However, there's one more thing: your people probably lack practical combat experience, right?"
Ning Qi thought of something and asked curiously.
"No, that's not true at all!"
Xu Qingqiu shook his head and retorted, "Every year, a group of people from our area are conscripted by the immortal sects to go to the Boundary Sea Battlefield!"
"These people have all been through countless battles and crawled out of piles of corpses!"
“They are all seasoned veterans!”
"Oh? There's also the Boundary Sea Battlefield?"
Ning Qi had never heard of this place before and immediately became curious: "What kind of place is this? Is it dangerous?" (End of Chapter)
