Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1338 - 598: This Sedative Packs a Punch_2

"That’s right, we’ve been prepared for a long time."

"Even if there’s something unexpected, we can handle it."

Zhao Shilin nodded and said in a low voice, "Originally, our Commander Lei was thinking about dealing with their Saintess."

As he talked, he revealed a sinister smile.

Ning Qi understood with just a glance.

"Yes, if that happens, they’ll lose face big time."

A guard added.

"Indeed, Master Ning, this matter is now up to you."

Zhao Shilin nodded and continued, "It’s said that this Saintess has a Sacred Body, and if you dual cultivate with her, your power will advance rapidly."

"It’s said that you might even directly breakthrough a major realm."

"Oh? Directly breakthrough a realm?"

"How is that possible."

Ning Qi, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but become curious.

He never expected that there would be people with such a constitution.

"Master, it seems people with this ability exist, but they are all those in the Immortal Realm."

"In other words, only those of the Immortal Race have such a constitution; it’s the first time I’ve heard of ordinary people having it."

The Medicine Spirit began analyzing in his Dantian: "Unless this is someone who has drifted to the Lower Realm from the Immortal Race, or perhaps a branch of the Immortal Race."

"Hmm, that’s possible too."

Ning Qi responded.

"Master Ning, if you’re interested, you might want to give it a try."

Zhao Shilin saw Ning Qi frowning in thought, and thus smiled.

"If it’s really like that, then it’s not impossible."

Ning Qi, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but become interested.

However, it was only a verbal agreement; he wasn’t moved.

He looked down on the idea of harming others to gain power.

"Master Ning, you can take this packet of drowsiness powder."

"If the opportunity arises, you can use it on Wang Meng; just a sprinkle can render him powerless."

Zhao Shilin took out a packet of powder and handed it to Ning Qi.

"Oh, is the drowsiness powder that strong?"

Ning Qi took the packet and asked curiously.

"If it was made by someone else, perhaps not."

"However, since it’s crafted by Elder Li, it’s absolutely effective!"

Zhao Shilin nodded earnestly and said, "Just one packet is enough to incapacitate him for a cup of tea’s time."

"Alright, if needed, I’ll give it a try."

Ning Qi didn’t hold back and directly took the packet of powder.

"Come, let’s have a drink for tonight’s operation!"

Zhao Shilin saw Ning Qi accept it, so he proposed a toast again.

"Cheers!"

"..."

The crowd raised their glasses in succession and downed them in one go.

"Commander Zhao, it’s still early for the night; I might go check out the city."

After they ate and drank their fill, Ning Qi suddenly spoke.

"Oh, do you need me to send someone with you?"

Zhao Shilin, upon hearing this, asked.

"No need, I’ll return before the operation."

Ning Qi shook his head, declining his goodwill.

"Alright, then be careful, Master Ning, this place is crawling with their people."

"If you’re exposed, we’ll be very passive."

Zhao Shilin nodded and had no intention of sending someone to accompany him.

"Alright, I’ll take my leave then; you all continue."

Ning Qi agreed and then stood up to leave the private room.

After he left, several subordinates showed worry.

"Commander Zhao, do you think we can rely on him?"

One of them couldn’t help but ask first.

After his question, everyone focused on him, waiting for his answer.

"Don’t worry; he’s like us, grasshoppers tied to the same rope, not a problem!"

Zhao Shilin laughed and continued, "Moreover, he can make our clan much stronger, don’t have second thoughts."

"I heard Commander Lei say, our Family Head is even thinking of having him marry the young lady."

"I see."

"No wonder Commander Lei respects him so much."

"..."

Several people echoed.

"Alright, don’t overthink it, let’s drink!"

"Tonight we must give it our all, don’t fail again!"

Zhao Shilin raised his glass again, inviting everyone to toast.

"Yes!"

"Commander Zhao, just watch!"

They raised their glasses again, downing them in one go.

While they were upstairs exchanging drinks, Ning Qi had already arrived downstairs.

After stepping out, he looked around the street.

"Master, where are we heading?"

The Medicine Spirit appeared and curiously asked from his shoulder.

"Looking for a place where there are no people, I need to contact Miss Xu."

Ning Qi scanned around and said, "Zhao Shilin didn’t place someone to watch us, that’s convenient."

"Hmm, so where are we heading?"

The Medicine Spirit relaxed and asked.

"A place with few people, of course."

Ning Qi looked around and said, "Let’s go, check ahead."

"Alright!"

The Medicine Spirit agreed and began searching around on his shoulder.

Trying to find a quiet place.

Ning Qi continued walking forward, the place was bustling with people.

The area was indeed lively, with shops lining both sides.

Occasionally, sect disciples passed by.

"Master, how about ahead."

The Medicine Spirit pointed towards the lake and said, "We can use a boat, so no one can disturb us."

"Indeed! Let’s go!"

Ning Qi followed the gaze and saw many boats.

Clearly, they were prepared for people with leisure.

He soon arrived at the lakeside, rented a boat from the boater, and left.

He rowed alone to the center of the lake; finally, there was no one.

He then activated his Jade Pendant to contact Xu Qingqiu.

After a momentary illusionary shadow, Xu Qingqiu appeared before him.

"Ning Qi? Why do you look like this?"

Xu Qingqiu, seeing his illusionary figure, saw his appearance.

"I’ve infiltrated the Demon Race and changed my appearance to theirs for cover."

Ning Qi looked at Xu Qingqiu and continued, "How is your situation?"

"I’ve brought my master and others; we’ve been searching but haven’t located the Demon Race’s base."

"Ning Qi, have you found it, where is it?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi and asked repeatedly.

"Yes, I found it."

"But, they are on guard against me, not letting me know their exact location."

"I’m now in a safe place, but I don’t know exactly where it is."

Ning Qi shrugged and continued, "So I’ll have to wait and see."

He didn’t tell Xu Qingqiu his actual situation or their impending operation.

"Master, should we keep this from Miss Xu?"

The Medicine Spirit couldn’t hold back, "Why not tell her the truth?"

"Don’t interrupt."

Ning Qi chastised.

"Oh, that’s too bad; we’ve arrived."

"But it’s better, at least we’re prepared."

Xu Qingqiu showed disappointment but continued, "You must be careful, don’t let them discover you, it’ll be troublesome."

"Don’t worry, they can’t possibly find me."

Ning Qi laughed, "I’ve disguised myself as one of them."

"Alright, if you have any situation, remember to notify me!"

"We’re fully prepared; once they act, we can catch them all!"

Xu Qingqiu faced Ning Qi and continued, "You must be careful."

"Don’t worry, I’ll notify you if there’s news!"

"You be careful too; I heard they’re planning to act."

Ning Qi reminded her.
