I Have A Martial Arts Panel-Chapter 285 - Seed Token, Gu Songying’s Friendship
Chapter 285 Seed Token, Gu Songying’s Friendship
“What alchemy technique did you practice?” Xu Ning was a little surprised by Gu Songying’s question, but he was not too surprised.
Obviously, Gu Songying had noticed his dao realm alchemy technique, the Red Sea Pill Sutra.
“Just like Brother Gu guessed.” Xu Ning answered truthfully.
“Huh?”
Gu Songying’s pupils shrank when he received Xu Ning’s confirmation. “Is it really the Red Sea Pill Sutra?”
This time, Gu Songying sent a voice transmission to Xu Ning so the others couldn’t hear him.
Xu Ning nodded.
“Brother Xu, can we talk in private?”
Gu Songying thought for a moment and invited Xu Ning. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
“Sure.” Xu Ning did not refuse.
Ding Bo, Xin Andao, and the others couldn’t understand Gu Songying’s invitation to Xu Ning
But they didn’t say anything. They just watched Gu Songying and Xu Ning leave together.
In any case, Xin Andao knew that the crisis of the Source Sect had been averted.
Ding Bo looked a little depressed, but he didn’t dare to go against his cousin’s wishes.
Gu Songying and Xu Ning came to a dense forest not far from the Source Sect.
“Brother Xu, the Red Sea Pill Sutra is the core alchemy technique of the Red Sea Demon Sect. Unless the Sect Master or elders personally teach it to you, it is impossible to learn it. How did you master it?”
Gu Songying went straight to the point.
He looked a little serious. He had to figure this out.
If Xu Ning did not learn from the Red Sea Demon Lord or the elders of the sect, it meant that someone had leaked the core techniques of the sect. If that was the case, this matter must be reported to the sect, and the sect would punish the leaker severely.
Even Xu Ning, who was taught the Red Sea Pill Sutra, had to be captured and brought back to the Red Sea Demon Sect. Even with the protection of the Harmony King Mansion, it was useless.
But if Xu Ning’s Red Sea Pill Sutra was personally taught by the Red Sea Demon Lord or the elders of the sect, even if he was not a member of the Red Sea Demon Sect, he was likely to be absorbed into it in the future and become an elite disciple. “Do you need to know so much?”
Xu Ning smiled, as if he didn’t care.
But Gu Songying had a serious look on his face. “Brother Xu, please tell me the truth.”
Seeing Gu Songying’s expression, Xu Ning didn’t plan to hide anymore.
There was no problem exposing his relationship with the Red Sea Demon Sect to the disciples of the Red Sea Demon Sect.
“This Red Sea Pill Sutra is what I learned from the Red Sea Demon Lord’s inheritance mystic realm.”
Xu Ning told the truth. “Learned it in the Sect Master’s inheritance mystic realm?”
Gu Songying’s eyes twitched.
“Red Sea Demon Lord left behind a mystic realm inheritance in the Abyss North. I passed the assessment there and obtained this Red Sea Pill Sutra.”
Xu Ning added.
“I see…”
Gu Songying remembered what the seniors of the sect said. A long time ago, the Red Sea Demon Lord had indeed gone out to sea to travel.
The places he traveled included the Abyss North.
However, the place where he left his inheritance was not just in the Abyss North.
There was more than one person who obtained the inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord’s mystic realm.
For example, a core figure in the high level of the dao realm in the Red Sea Demon Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Red Sea Demon Lord in the Abyss South decades ago. He then crossed the Endless Sea with the token from the inheritance, came to State Wansheng, and joined the Red Sea Demon Sect, obtaining the identity of a ‘seed’.
Gu Songying was a little excited when he thought of this.
He looked at Xu Ning. “Brother Xu, as far as I know, when the Sect Master leaves his inheritance abroad, not only does he teach the ultimate techniques of the sect, but he also leaves behind a token. I wonder if I can take a look at Brother Xu’s token.”
“You even know such details…”
Xu Ning smiled and took out the black bead he had obtained from the black bird in the inheritance mystic realm.
According to the black bird, holding this black bead would allow one to enter the Red Sea Demon Sect and become a member.
However, because Xu Ning wanted to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect, and his current environment was stable and beneficial to him, Xu Ning did not have the intention to join the Red Sea Demon Sect.
The moment the black bead was taken out, Gu Songying’s eyes lit up.
“Brother Xu, can I take a look…”
Unknowingly, Gu Songying’s attitude towards Xu Ning became a little humble. “Sure.”
Xu Ning put the black bead in Gu Songying’s hand.
Gu Songying looked excited, his hands trembling
He carefully looked at the black bead. After confirming it a few times, he carefully handed it back to Xu Ning with both hands.
“That’s right, it’s a seed token of the sect!”
Gu Songying said. “Seed token?”
Xu Ning glanced at the black bead in his hand. “What is that?”
“A seed token is the identity certificate of the most core disciples of the sect!”
An inexplicable flame burned in Gu Songying’s eyes. “With a seed token, you will be supported by the sect and gain access to a massive amount of resources. Moreover, with this seed token, you will have the qualifications to become the sect master of the Red Sea Demon Sect!”
Gu Songying couldn’t hide his excitement when he said that.
“Oh?”
Xu Ning didn’t expect the seed token in his hand to be so valuable.
When the black bird handed it to Xu Ning, it only said that he could join the Red Sea Demon Sect, but unexpectedly, with this black bead, he could directly become a core disciple of the sect.
“Brother Xu, you haven’t joined the Red Sea Demon Sect yet, right?” Gu Songying looked at Xu Ning hopefully.
“No.”
Xu Ning shook his head.
“In this case, why don’t you let me be your guide and bring you to join the Red Sea Demon Sect!”
Gu Songying’s eyes were full of eagerness.
“Join the Red Sea Demon Sect?”
Xu Ning didn’t think for long before giving an answer. “I don’t have this intention for now.”
In Xu Ning’s opinion, although the Red Sea Demon Sect had abundant resources, the Harmony King Mansion was not bad.
Now that he was highly valued by Duan Chaofeng, it would not be difficult for him to obtain the resources of the Harmony King Mansion in the future.
Moreover, he had to take good care of the Swallow Heron Sect. With the Harmony King Mansion as his backer, he was quite free.
But if he went to the Red Sea Demon Sect, he would definitely face a new competitive environment. Thinking up to this point, there was no need for him to give up everything he had and rely on the uncertain Red Sea Demon Sect.
“Brother Xu, after joining the Red Sea Demon Sect, there will be many benefits!”
Gu Songying seemed a little anxious seeing how Xu Ning rejected the invitation so firmly.
“Now, our Sect Master, the Red Sea Demon Lord, who is at the limit of the dao realm, is preparing to concentrate on cultivation to break through the limit of the dao realm and become a grandmaster! Just two years ago, he sent a message to the sect. He stated that he will choose a qualified successor for the sect in the next ten years!”
“And this successor of the sect will only appear amongst the seeds!”
Gu Songying showed an excited expression. “In other words, once you become the sect’s seed, you are likely to become the leader of State Wansheng’s top sect, the Red Sea Demon Sect!”
When Gu Songying said this, he was very excited, as if he was the one holding the seed token, not Xu Ning. “Oh?”
Xu Ning was a little surprised at Gu Songying’s words.
The top sect in State Wansheng was actually about to change its leader.
Moreover, with the black bead, he had the qualifications to compete for this position.
This surprised Xu Ning.
“Brother Xu, join the Red Sea Demon Sect!”
Gu Songying’s eyes were full of eagerness.
The reason why Gu Songying was so eager was because he felt that this might be an extremely rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.
He was fully aware of Xu Ning’s strength and aptitude.
It was rare to see a dao realm master in the core cleansing realm who could defeat a dao realm master who had mastered an origin technique.
And he happened to have a seed certificate.
Gu Songying believed that with Xu Ning’s foundation, if he could join the Red Sea Demon Sect, he would definitely be able to grow rapidly in ten years after receiving a lot of resources.
By then, Xu Ning would really have the qualifications to compete with those veteran seeds for the position of sect master of the Red Sea Demon Sect.
Although this probability was less than 10%, once he succeeded, as Xu Ning’s first follower in the Red Sea Demon Sect, Gu Songying would definitely gain a lot.
Moreover, even if Xu Ning couldn’t become the sect master, he had a 50% chance of becoming a sect elder.
Even with just this result, he would also become the trusted aide of an elder of the Red Sea Demon Sect.
Gu Songying knew very well that with his aptitude, his martial arts path was almost at its end.
The probability of breaking through to the high level dao realm was almost nil.
Therefore, his status in the Red Sea Demon Sect could only be fixed as an external sect deacon, making it difficult to advance further.
Only by following Xu Ning and seizing the opportunity in front of him could he continue to realize the possibility of his status leap.
“Brother Gu…”
Xu Ning pondered for a longer time.
“In State Guqing, I am not only the sect master of a sect, but I am also a first-class guest of Harmony King Mansion. With my complicated identity, it is not appropriate to enter the Red Sea Demon Sect, right?”
Xu Ning was still not interested in Gu Songying’s advice.
Gu Songying seemed a little anxious. “Why
not?”
“Brother Xu, you don’t know, but there are some people in the Duan royal family who have the status of a disciple in the Red Sea Demon Sect. The current princes and princesses are all in the Red Sea Demon Sect.” “Huh?”
Xu Ning was a little surprised. “There are disciples of the Duan royal family in the Red Sea Demon Sect?”
It was rumored that the Duan royal family had a relatively close relationship with the Red Sea Demon Sect, but Xu Ning didn’t expect them to be this close. “Yes!”
Gu Songying quickly nodded. “Moreover, the current Third Prince and Eighth Princess both have seed tokens of the Red Sea Demon Sect, and they have the status of seeds!”
“Is that so…”
This tempted Xu Ning.
If even people from the Duan royal family, princes and princesses, were willing to join the Red Sea Demon Sect.
This meant that the benefits brought to them by the Red Sea Demon Sect were no less than the benefits brought to them by their imperial status. “What do you think, Brother Xu?”
Gu Songying asked again eagerly.
“I’ll decide later.”
Xu Ning did not immediately make a decision. “I have to return to State Guqing and discuss this with the Harmony Prince.”
Gu Songying’s explanation tempted Xu Ning.
But before that, Xu Ning still felt that he should visit Duan Chaofeng.
Duan Chaofeng was a member of the Duan royal family, so he should definitely know more about the Red Sea Demon Sect than him.
This…”
Gu Songying knew that he couldn’t persuade Xu Ning anymore.
Otherwise, if he was too hasty, it might be counterproductive. “Okay.”
Gu Songying said, “In this case, after you make the decision, you can immediately come and tell me. I will personally take you to the Red Sea Demon Sect.”
“Okay.”
Xu Ning responded.
This made Gu Songying a little happy.
His previous kindness and persuasion worked.
“I have been sent to State Fengling by the sect. If you make the decision, you can tell me at any time.”
Afterwards, Gu Songying gave Xu Ning his address.
ICO
After Xu Ning asked Gu Songying for more details, the two ended the conversation and began to return to the Source Sect together. “Ding Bo, let’s go!” After Gu Songying returned to the Source Sect, he called out Ding Bo.
Ding Bo quickly went behind Gu Songying.
“Brother Xu, I’ll leave first. I’ll be waiting for your news.”
Gu Songying took the initiative to bow to Xu
Ning.
This stunned Ding Bo, Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, He Mingye, and Si Ying.
Just an hour ago, when Gu Songying came with Ding Bo, he was still full of hostility.
But after the exchange, he became so humble, causing the people present to not be able to react properly. “Cousin…” Ding Bo looked at Gu Songying suspiciously. But Gu Songying gave him a threatening look.
Seeing this, Ding Bo panicked and bowed to Xu Ning as well.
Afterwards, Gu Songying left with Ding Bo.
“Xu Ning, what is going on?”
As soon as Gu Songying left with Ding Bo, Xin Andao quickly leaned forward.
“Nothing…”
Xu Ning just smiled and didn’t answer.
It was better not to spread this news for the time being
When Xin Andao and the others saw that Xu Ning did not answer directly, they knew that it was inconvenient for him to respond, so they stopped asking
Afterwards, the group returned to the Source Sect.
On the other side, Ding Bo finally couldn’t help but ask his cousin Gu Songying.
“Cousin, aren’t you being too polite to Xu Ning?”
Ding Bo was a little dissatisfied. “Even if he is slightly better than you, you don’t have to act like this… You are a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect…”
“What do you know?!”
Gu Songying said coldly, “Xu Ning is not as simple as you think!”
“My status in the sect is difficult to improve any further, and Xu Ning is the only person who can change my situation!”
After Gu Songying finished speaking, Ding Bo was stunned.
“Cousin, what do you mean?”
Ding Bo asked.
Gu Songying sneered. “You don’t have to know so much right now. You just have to remember to be more polite to the Source Sect in the future. If the Source Sect needs any help, you have to help! We have to win Xu Ning’s favor.”
“Yes…”
Although he felt aggrieved, Ding Bo reluctantly agreed.
