Chapter 258 Gift from the Prince, Small Tree World
Two months went by.
During this period, the Swallow Heron Sect basically relocated their sect.
The elders, guest elders, and disciples in the Guanghe Canton villa had basically all moved to Chuiyun Mountain.
Only a portion of the guest elders remained in Guanghe Canton to plan the Swallow Heron Sect’s martial resource trading channels in Guanghe Canton.
Relying on the Cheng family and the Shi family’s trading company would not be difficult for the Swallow Heron Sect.
As long as the Swallow Heron Sect could rebuild the trading channels for martial resources, subsequent resources would be provided continuously. Moreover, during this period of time, the Wind Parasol Pavilion specially sent an elder to discuss with Xu Ning about letting their people go.
The reason why Xu Ning did not kill the Wind Parasol Pavilion’s members and just detained them was firstly because he did not want to further offend Princess Mo Lan, and secondly, it was to exchange for more resources for the gradual expansion of the Swallow Heron Sect.
After some negotiation, Xu Ning obtained medicinal pills, spirit medicine, weapons, martial resource trading channels, and various other resources from the Wind Parasol Pavilion.
There were a lot of these resources, totalling up to almost 60% of the treasures that were originally in the Hidden Moon Bead.
If he could convert them all into pills, then he should have 5 million units of energy.
Xu Ning only left 30% of these resources for himself. They were all spirit medicines or pills that could be absorbed as energy.
After Xu Ning absorbed them, he obtained close to 1.6 million units of energy, which was just enough for Xu Ning to advance the Red Sea Pill Sutra to the fourth level, crossing two levels.
After reaching the fourth level of the Red Sea Pill Sutra, Xu Ning could basically refine all the medicinal pills that were effective for mid level dao realm masters.
The current Xu Ning could already attract a large number of followers just like Leng Ran by just relying on his identity as a master alchemist.
Chuiyun Mountain.
Swallow Heron Sect
“Sect Master!”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
As Xu Ning walked in the sect, disciples, guest elders, and prospective elders greeted Xu Ning respectfully.
The scale of the Swallow Heron Sect had expanded again. There were more than six hundred people in the entire sect.
Now, there were already many talented disciples who were willing to come and learn from him. Moreover, many of the old members of the Swallow Heron Sect that Cheng Zengtao had previously summoned had become prospective elders, causing the martial arts realm of the higher ups of the Swallow Heron Sect to no longer be as stagnant as before.
Although it would take decades for the Swallow Heron Sect to return to its former state, it was only a matter of time before they returned to the right path.
Xu Ning looked at the reclaimed sect grounds and the large number of disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect.
Coming to this point, he could finally give Wan Ye an answer.
Xu Ning returned to his Sect Master Peak.
“Master…”
Xu Ning returned to the Sect Master Peak and saw his two disciples waiting for him
One of them was Cheng Xiu, the eldest disciple who had dark skin and a similar appearance to Guo Ye. The other person was more than two meters tall and had muscles all over his body. He was Shi Baoqing, the disciple who was sent to the Swallow Heron Sect by the Shi family and accepted as Xu Ning’s personal disciple.
Although Shi Baoqing looked tall, he was only 16 years old and was even younger than Cheng Xiu.
He was an elite disciple of the Shi family in Guanghe Canton. When he entered the sect, he was already in the void realm second stage.
After Cheng Xiu learned that he had a true qi realm junior brother, he was under a lot of pressure, so he practiced even harder.
Because of this, coupled with Xu Ning’s deliberate guidance and resources, Cheng Xiu broke through to the void realm first stage.
Although he was still not as good as Shi Baoqing, he could at least regain some face as a senior brother.
“Come, tell me about your recent martial arts state, your practice experiences, and your doubts.”
Xu Ning sat on a rock on the main peak and said to the two disciples.
He was still quite concerned about these two disciples.
Every half a month, Xu Ning would see them and give them pointers on their martial arts.
“Yes!”
Cheng Xiu and Shi Baoqing listened obediently.
Afterwards, the two began to exchange pointers with Xu Ning and humbly accepted his teachings.
Soon, an hour went by.
Over the past hour, Cheng Xiu and Shi Baoqing had gained a lot from Xu Ning’s guidance.
In their opinion, Xu Ning’s guidance each time was more than what they had gained from cultivating in the past half month.
“After you go back, digest what I said and practice repeatedly.”
After his guidance session, Xu Ning urged them.
“Yes, Master.”
The two responded respectfully, then left the Sect Master Peak.
Xu Ning was the only one on his Sect Master Peak. He did not even have a single servant.
“Xu Ning!”
Not long after Cheng Xiu and Shi Baoqing left, Xu Ning suddenly heard someone call his name.
‘It’s Prince Duan Chaofeng…’
Xu Ning instantly realized who the owner of the voice was.
He looked up and saw Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He sitting on the back of a rainbow-colored bird. After circling around the main peak, they landed on the ground.
“Your Highness.”
Xu Ning stood up and bowed.
Although Duan Chaofeng had not given him any direct benefits other than the two attribute true origins, he was able to take back the old grounds of the Swallow Heron Sect without being avenged and was even able to exchange a large amount of resources with the Wind Parasol Pavilion, This was all because of the backing from the Harmony King Mansion.
If Duan Chaofeng was not behind him, then the Wind Parasol Pavilion would definitely not be afraid of him.
“I said before that once you take back the old grounds of the Swallow Heron Sect, I will personally visit and congratulate you.”
Duan Chaofeng jumped down from behind the bird and walked over with a smile. Zhang He followed closely behind.
“What I didn’t expect is your efficiency to be so high. It hasn’t been long since we parted ways last time, but you have already advanced to the core materialization realm. This really broadened my horizons.”
Duan Chaofeng praised Xu Ning.
“It was all because of the two attribute true origins that I broke through so quickly.”
Xu Ning said politely.
Duan Chaofeng laughed. He knew that Xu Ning was giving him face.
“I see that the Swallow Heron Sect has begun to take shape. In a few decades, it should be like the Swallow Heron Sect of a hundred years ago.”
Duan Chaofeng stood on the main peak of the sect and looked down at the entire Swallow Heron Sect.
“That’s right, I also said that I have a big gift for you if you took back the old grounds of the Swallow Heron Sect.”
Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning. “And now is the time for me to fulfill my promise.”
Duan Chaofeng walked to the rainbow-colored bird and took out a palm-sized black seed from its feathers.
“A sect with a strong foundation must have an environment to accelerate cultivation. Only with such an environment can it continuously attract more talents.”
Duan Chaofeng said, “This is the seed of the Small Tree World. After planting it, it can provide an excellent cultivation place for the Swallow Heron Sect. And when danger comes, you can also enter and hide inside it.”
After that, Duan Chaofeng shot out a gust of astral qi and dug a pit in the soil nearby. He then threw the palm-sized seed into the pit, flicked his sleeves, and buried it with soil.
Finally, he condensed a ball of water in his hand and sprinkled it on the soil covering the seed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xu Ning saw a sprout the size of an arm breaking out of the ground and growing at a visible speed.
In just a few seconds, it had grown to a giant tree more than thirty meters tall and more than ten meters wide.
On the giant tree, there were verdant branches and leaves. Standing in the distance, one could feel the rich vitality.
“This…”
Although Xu Ning had never heard of what the Small Tree World was, he could feel a strange force inside the giant tree. “His Highness gave you a big gift. Xu Ning, go and take a look.”
Zhang He, who had not spoken before, reached out his hand and gestured to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning nodded slightly and walked to the giant tree.
He reached out to touch the tree trunk.
“Hmm?”
When Xu Ning’s palm touched the surface of the tree trunk, he went straight in.
‘It’s an internal space.’
Xu Ning stepped in without thinking.
After entering the giant tree, he saw a mass of green in front of him.
“This is…’
Xu Ning was amazed.
There were trees, flowers, rivers, lakes, and even birds and insects inside this Small Tree World.
Its area was ten times larger than the Hidden Moon Bead. Although it was not comparable to the Demon Beast Scroll, its environment was much better than the Demon Beast Scroll. ‘The spiritual energy here is so dense…’
Xu Ning could sense that the concentration of spiritual energy in this Small Tree World was more than five times that of the outside world.
Moreover, the closer he got to the center, the denser the spiritual energy became.
“Small Tree World, Small Tree World … A world in the tree…”
Xu Ning was certain that this Small Tree World was an independent space that was extremely beneficial for cultivation.
“How is this Small Tree World? Are you satisfied?”
Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He also walked in.
“Thank you for the gift, Your Highness.”
Xu Ning thanked him.
This Small Tree World was indeed very useful to the current Swallow Heron Sect.
With this Small Tree World, the advancement speed of the outstanding disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect would greatly increase.
Moreover, when the sect encountered danger in the future, there would be a place to hide from danger.
“You can open and close this Small Tree World at any time… When you open it, it will become a tree, and when you shrink it, it will become a seed.”
Duan Chaofeng said, “After you turn it into a seed and repeatedly cleanse it with the power of the dao realm, this Small Tree World’s seed will be yours to use. Whoever can come in, whoever can’t come in, or whoever you want to kick out can all be controlled by you.”
When Xu Ning heard this, he knew how to use this Small Tree World.
After figuring out the secrets of the Small Tree World, the three of them left the Small Tree World.
Afterwards, Duan Chaofeng turned the Small Tree World back into a seed and handed it to Xu Ning. Xu Ning took it and placed it in the Hidden Moon Bead.
This Small Tree World was an independent space, so it could not be placed in a storage ring, because the spatial stability of a storage ring was extremely poor.
However, this Small Tree World’s seed could be placed in items such as the Hidden Moon Bead, the Demon Beast Scroll, or even in the stomach of Gray, who had advanced to the dao realm. This was because the spatial stability of those spaces was stronger, and it would not cause space to collapse.
However, after entering another space, the independent space could no longer be opened, making it impossible to form an independent space inside an independent space.
