Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1287 - 573: Drowning Sorrows in Wine

"Oh? How many senior brothers do you have?"

Ning Qi became curious.

From what she and Wang Zhengqian had mentioned, he had no idea how many senior brothers she had.

"There are three in total; the eldest is Xu Haoran, the second is Liu Baifeng, and the third is Xu Wenlong."

"The one you met is the third senior brother, and the other two, one has gone out for training."

"The remaining one is my second senior brother. He enjoys drinking and usually hangs around the nearby towns."

Xu Qingqiu said with a smile.

"Oh? So, are you suggesting I should meet your senior brothers?"

Ning Qi had already understood her intentions.

"Yes, otherwise there’s no one to accompany us, the two of us aren’t enough."

"Once we get there, it’s better to have more people to be able to act."

Xu Qingqiu continued: "Let’s go."

"Alright!"

Ning Qi agreed and then followed her out.

As they reached the mountain gate, they saw a familiar face.

It was Gao Yunze.

"Junior Sister!"

As soon as he saw Xu Qingqiu from afar, he rushed over excitedly.

"Who is your junior sister? We’re not disciples under the same master."

Xu Qingqiu showed disdain upon seeing him.

However, because of appearances, she didn’t directly turn hostile.

"We’re from the same sect, how could we not be senior and junior disciples?"

"Our masters are all the Sect Leader’s disciples."

Gao Yunze chuckled and started to argue.

"Ning Qi, let’s go."

Xu Qingqiu ignored him, waved to Ning Qi, and wanted to leave with him.

"Okay."

Ning Qi didn’t waste words, agreed immediately, and followed her out.

Preparing to descend the mountain.

"Wait."

Seeing this, Gao Yunze stepped forward to stop them.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Xu Qingqiu was immediately displeased, her eyes fixed on him.

"Who is this person, why is he allowed to wander around Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

"Have you reported to our Law Enforcement Hall?"

Gao Yunze glanced at Ning Qi and said in a serious tone: "Junior Sister, have you forgotten our rules?"

"The rules are set for ordinary people. I am my master’s direct disciple; I can bring whoever I want. Can you interfere?"

Xu Qingqiu glared at him and continued: "Keep your authority to show off to irrelevant people, don’t try to assert dominance over me."

"Junior Sister, don’t forget about our agreement."

Gao Yunze looked at Ning Qi and then turned his gaze to Xu Qingqiu: "We have a marriage agreement between us."

"Gao Yunze, get it straight; it was just our master’s drunken joke."

"Want me to marry you? You can forget about it in this lifetime."

Xu Qingqiu was instantly displeased, glanced at him, then waved to Ning Qi: "Let’s go."

"Alright!"

Ning Qi answered calmly and then left with her.

After descending the mountain, Ning Qi then laughed and said: "It seems Miss Xu is quite charming in Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

"Someone is pursuing her so fervently."

"Don’t bring him up, he’s giving me a headache."

Xu Qingqiu shook her head, showing a helpless expression: "If I had the choice, I’d rather never see him again."

"You can’t say that; such people have their value and can be used effectively."

Ning Qi teased with a smile.

"Then you use him; I’m afraid to. He’s like a sticky plaster; once attached, it’s bad luck."

Xu Qingqiu quickly shook her head, showing a helpless expression: "Once you get to know him better, you’ll understand how bothersome he is."

"Are we going to walk all the way down from here?"

Ning Qi had lost interest in this person.

Looking at the mountain path ahead, he asked with a smile.

There was still a stretch of the path down the mountain, but it was a picturesque area.

It’s a good place for relaxation.

"Yes, the distance is close, so we don’t need to teleport."

Xu Qingqiu regained her focus and led Ning Qi down the mountain.

By the time they had descended, they weren’t aware that a few people had followed them.

Among them was Gao Yunze.

But they didn’t pay attention and heading directly down the mountain.

They soon arrived outside a small town.

"It’s quite lively."

Ning Qi glanced around and couldn’t help but smile.

This town seemed larger than typical ones.

There were also many cultivators here.

"These people built the town for our Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples."

"We have a large demand for resources, and they come here to do business with us, benefiting us while earning a profit."

Xu Qingqiu explained to Ning Qi: "There are even merchants from other lower realms here."

"Oh? Just for some Spirit Stones, one can go anywhere."

Ning Qi nodded, looking at the people in the small town ahead: "So, there is some value here after all."

"Of course, this place is the closest lower realm to the Fourteenth District."

"We have the possibility to enter the Fourteenth District at any time."

Xu Qingqiu said seriously: "As long as one of our sects produces someone with half-step Golden Immortal strength, or our Sect Leader directly breaks through to Golden Immortal strength."

"Then we’ll have the qualification."

"So you mean, if I’m the first to become Golden Immortal strength in my True Martial Spirit Realm, wouldn’t we enter the Fourteenth District before you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately thought of a question.

"Yes, that’s correct, but it’s a difficult step."

"Without absolute strength, it can’t be achieved!"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi: "Are you currently at Heavenly Immortal strength?"
