Chapter 155: Xu Ning’s Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bao Weijing looked at the plate that represented the identity of the Bao family guard.
‘Someone in the family wants to kill me?’
‘I’m already in this poor situation, so why is someone in the family still targeting me?’
Bao Weijing couldn’t think of anyone who he could pose a threat to.
Xu Ning was intrigued.
“You seem to be quite tired in the Bao family?”
Xu Ning asked casually.
“Yes…”
Bao Weijing looked a little lonely.
A trace of hatred appeared in Bao Weijing’s eyes.
After his mother passed away, Bao Weijing began to hate the Bao family.
After experiencing injustice and being ignored in the family, Bao Weijing had thought about leaving the Bao family more than once.
But every time he mentioned it to his father, Bao Xinxian would not allow it.
Although Bao Xinxian didn’t care about this son, he also felt that if he took the initiative to leave the Bao family, outsiders would think that the Bao family was heartless.
Therefore, Bao Weijing had been growing up in this environment.
He thought he could practice martial arts well enough that he could improve his status in the family and make himself better.
Prior to this, he had such a dream.
But now that he was certain that someone from the Bao family wanted to kill him, his only hope was shattered.
“Senior, do you understand my situation?”
Bao Weijing asked Xu Ning.
He didn’t know who Xu Ning was, but this person saved him, making Bao Weijing feel grateful and respectful to him.
“I understand a little.”
Xu Ning responded.
Bao Weijing had a look of hesitation in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask.
“In this case, Senior, you should also know that I am struggling in the family, can you give me a chance to let me leave the family and follow you? I will not ask to be your disciple, just your servant, I will follow you everywhere!”
Bao Weijing’s tone was sincere.
“No.”
Xu Ning refused Bao Weijing’s proposal.
The hope in Bao Weijing’s eyes turned into disappointment.
However, this was not unexpected.
The other party was a void realm martial artist. With his strength, he could be a big shot in a family clan, at least a family head.
How could an existence of this level lack a small character like him as a follower?
“You hate the Bao family?”
However, Xu Ning suddenly asked.
“Yes.”
Bao Weijing responded without hesitation.
He had suffered too much in the family.
“In this case, why don’t you take back what you lost and return what you have suffered?”
Xu Ning’s words stunned Bao Weijing, then his forehead began to sweat.
He stuttered, “I-I want to do this, but… I just can’t.”
“But what if I can help you?”
Bao Weijing was stunned.
“This…”
Bao Weijing did not respond immediately. He just felt confused.
“But Senior, why are you helping me?”
Bao Weijing asked cautiously.
Xu Ning didn’t hide it, as he said, “I have a feud with some of your family elders.”
This was the truth.
Xu Ning initially wanted to deal with the Bao family, but because of the Bao family’s special status among the subordinates of the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning couldn’t do anything openly.
Even if he secretly took revenge on the two people who abducted him, he didn’t know if the Bao family had any backup plans.
After all, on the surface, the family only had Bao Ruyuan in the sect.
If he took action and exposed himself, Mi Xingye might even face pressure from Elder Gujuan, and such a thing would be very bad.
Thus, it was better to use Bao Weijing’s identity to infiltrate the Bao family first.
After sorting out the situation, he would deal with the two and rescue the Wei family members.
This method was the safest, and once it succeeded, the result might even be greater.
If Bao Weijing became a powerful figure in the Bao family, then Xu Ning would be in control of some mortal forces in the southern part of State Jifeng.
“Are you targeting the Bao family?”
Bao Weijing looked surprised.
However, although he was targeting his family, Bao Weijing didn’t mind. After all, the family had completely broken his heart.
“Yes.”
Xu Ning said, “If you want, I can help you stand firm in the Bao family.”
Xu Ning was confident that with his current powers, he could easily push Bao Weijing to the peak of the mortal realm.
If he was talented enough, he could even use pills to forcibly advance him to the void realm.
Although the Bao family was a big family with many void realm warriors, most of them did not care about the affairs of the world and focused on cultivation.
At that point, Xu Ning would have his own voice in the Bao family.
“I’m willing!”
Bao Weijing no longer hesitated.
There was no time to lose. If he gave up this opportunity, he would either return to his family and wait for death, or he would have to go into exile.
Bao Weijing knew very well that this void realm martial artist wanted to use him, but so what? As long as he could benefit from this, everything was worth it.
“However, Senior…”
Bao Weijing reminded, “Behind the Bao family is the Yuelan Sect, one of the overlords of State Jifeng. The Yuelan Sect is extremely terrifying, and there are many experts inside. Bao Ruyuan, the most outstanding disciple of the Bao family, is a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect.”
When Xu Ning heard Bao Ruyuan’s name, a strange smile appeared on his face.
‘Bao Ruyuan’s death hasn’t spread to the Bao family yet.’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
But on the surface, Xu Ning said calmly, “It’s fine.”
This confidence made Bao Ruyuan’s heart burn with curiosity.
This senior was so unafraid of the Yuelan Sect, could he be a powerful martial artist above the void realm fourth stage?
“Come, let’s find a place to improve your cultivation.”
Xu Ning didn’t wait for Bao Weijing’s answer. He just grabbed Bao Weijing’s collar and quickly went up the mountain.
Bao Weijing subconsciously called out the “goods”, but then he stopped talking.
To him now, these goods were nothing.
Xu Ning brought Bao Weijing into a cave in the mountains.
“Here.”
Xu Ning took out a Pure Source Pill.
This Pure Source Pill was a high-quality Pure Source Pill refined by Xu Ning himself.
Most of the Pure Source Pills that Xu Ning refined had been absorbed by himself, leaving only a small portion left for use.
“Pills!”
Bao Weijing’s eyes lit up when he saw the pills Xu Ning gave him.
He had never taken pills before. Even in order to replenish his energy after cultivating martial arts, Bao Weijing bought cheaper spirit medicine and brewed it himself.
This was because pills were too expensive, and only the favored descendants of the family clan had enough pills to use.
‘This pill is not ordinary!’
Although Bao Weijing had never taken pills before, he had seen it before.
The Pure Source Pill given by Xu Ning had a crystal clear surface and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. It looked like an exquisite work of art, making Bao Weijing a little reluctant to eat it.
After looking at it for a while, Bao Weijing swallowed the Pure Source Pill.
The Pure Source Pill rolled down Bao Weijing’s throat and into his abdominal cavity.
After the Pure Source Pill entered his abdominal cavity, Bao Weijing felt a warm and comfortable energy spread from his abdominal cavity to his limbs and bones. A sense of strength that he had never felt before instantly spread throughout his body. There was also a fragrance coming out from his mouth and nose.
Subsequently, Bao Ruyuan discovered that he had suddenly broken through the shackles of his realm. His strength, which was originally in the mortal realm fifth stage, directly rushed to the mortal realm sixth stage, internal qi realm.
Moreover, this increase in strength did not stop. Bao Ruyuan’s internal qi became stronger and stronger, soon reaching the peak of the internal qi realm.
‘This Bao Weijing has quite a good foundation.’
Xu Ning was quite satisfied with Bao Weijing’s martial arts talent.
Pure Source Pill was not a pill used for breaking through realms. The reason why Bao Ruyuan could quickly improve his strength after swallowing one was because although he had enough of a foundation, his energy could not never be replenished, so his body had always been in a deficient state.
But after taking a high-quality Pure Source Pill, Bao Weijing’s body was instantly full, so his realm had naturally advanced.
‘I was so close to breaking through the state mind realm.’
Bao Weijing felt a little unfortunate.
He could sense that the medicinal effect of the pill in his body was leaking, but he couldn’t completely absorb it. He could only watch as it got wasted.
However, Xu Ning gathered his qi with his fingertips and tapped Bao Weijing’s chest.
Then, Bao Weijing felt the medicine that was about to disperse gather in his body before it slowly spread out and nourished his body.
Bao Weijing felt that this slowly spreading medicinal effect was extremely helpful to him, and the effect of this was many times stronger than the spirit medicine soup he had taken before.
“You have a good foundation. Continue to cultivate, and you will soon break through to the state mind realm.”
Xu Ning said.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Bao Weijing knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Ning.
This was the first time Bao Weijing felt that his future was full of hope.
“No need.”
As soon as Bao Weijing knelt down, Xu Ning pushed him up with his true qi.
Afterwards, Xu Ning gave Bao Weijing a wooden box containing Pure Source Pills and a large bag of powder.
“Once you are promoted to the state mind realm, you can take another pill. As for that bag, it contains some poisonous powder. Once the powder enters the body of a mortal realm warrior, it is very lethal. Even a void realm warrior will be poisoned by it. So, consider it as a life-saving treasure.”
Xu Ning mixed the poisonous powder casually with some residue of the pills. He only experimented with it and left some behind, which was now very useful to him in this current situation.
Bao Weijing’s family wanted to kill him, so he decided to give him some life-saving methods. If he encountered any danger, he would have a chance to survive.
“Thank you, Senior.”
Bao Ruyuan didn’t know what to say. He was just full of gratitude towards Xu Ning..
