Chapter 179: Phantom Blood Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In a mansion in Yunying City.
“This alchemy technique is amazing!”
In front of Xiang Nanchun was a crushed medicinal pill.
Just now, when Xiang Nanchun carefully looked at the powder of the medicinal pill, he discovered that the alchemy technique used by the alchemist who refined these medicinal pills was very mature and brilliant.
‘The alchemy technique used by this alchemist should be inherited from a dao realm master alchemist. It might be a simplified version of a dao realm alchemy technique. There are many aspects that I can’t figure out
’
There was a look of greed in Xiang Nanchun’s eyes.
‘Dao realm masters are rare, and dao realm master alchemists are even rarer. If I can learn the alchemy technique left behind by a dao realm master alchemist, then my alchemy skills will greatly improve.’
Xiang Nanchun knew very well that although he was a relatively powerful alchemist, his path of growth was reaching its limit.
Xiang Nanchun did not want to miss the opportunity to learn a dao realm master alchemist’s alchemy technique.
‘I have to find a way to learn the alchemy technique from that alchemist
’
Xiang Nanchun thought to himself.
He had already asked Huang Zongshao to search for information about the alchemist.
With the strength of a void realm eighth stage martial artist, it was definitely not difficult for him to find an alchemist in Yunying City.
Not long after, the door was pushed open.
Deputy Sect Master Huang walked in.
“Alchemist Xiang, I have confirmed the situation surrounding the Wei family’s alchemist.”
Huang Zongshao was very polite to Xiang Nanchun.
Although Xiang Nanchun was only a void realm fourth stage qualitative change realm martial artist, his status as an alchemist allowed him to be on the same level as Huang Zongshao, even gaining the upper-hand when Huang Zongshao asked him for help.
“Oh?”
Xiang Nanchun smiled.
“That alchemist came to Yunying City recently, and he is backed by the Wei family. He has refined a lot of medicinal pills and sold them to the trading companies under the Wei family.”
Huang Zongshao gave a rough explanation.
“Deputy Sect Master Huang, do you have a way to have this person meet with me?”
Xiang Nanchun asked.
“This
”
Huang Zongshao had a difficult look on his face. “There are many people in Yunying City who want to see this person, but most of them can’t. I am not from Yunying City, so it will be quite difficult to bring him here to meet you
”
When Xiang Nanchun heard this, he looked annoyed.
He pursed his lips. “Deputy Sect Master Huang, bring this person here, and I can immediately go to State Jifeng to help you refine that demonic pill.”
Huang Zongshao knew that Xiang Nanchun was listing a condition, but this was truly difficult.
After seeing Huang Zongshao’s troubled expression, Xiang Nanchun said, “Deputy Sect Master Huang, you should know that refining a demonic pill is extremely difficult. If I am slightly careless, then all of your previous efforts will be wasted.”
“Just now, when I was studying this pill, I discovered that this alchemist’s technique is extremely exquisite. If I can learn this technique, or understand it a little, I can greatly increase the success rate of refining that demonic pill.”
Xiang Nanchun paused. “This is not just for me, but also for you guys
”
Huang Zongshao was quite reluctant, but after hearing Xiang Nanchun’s words, he was intrigued.
Refining a demonic pill was the most important thing for the sect.
Once the demonic pill was refined, his sect master could use this demonic pill to advance to a dao realm master.
Once that happened, the strength of the sect would rise sharply, and they would have the strength to defeat their enemies like how the Source Sect did in State Feiyun, becoming the number one faction in State Jifeng.
The Yuelan Sect, Thousand Flood Sect, and other large sects would all be stepped on by them.
“Okay, I will find a way to lure that alchemist out.”
Huang Zongshao finally chose to agree. “However, once we lure this person out, whether he is willing to hand over the alchemy technique or not, we have to leave immediately and go to State Jifeng.”
“Okay.”
Xiang Nanchun quickly agreed.
Huang Zongshao turned around and left.
After leaving the room, Huang Zongshao called a few subordinates. “Go and gather information. After confirming the person’s identity and his fixed whereabouts, report it to me.”
“Yes.”
The subordinates received the order and left.
“Wei family
”
Huang Zongshao had already figured out the Wei family.
He knew that the strongest person in the Wei family was only a martial artist in the common seal realm. With his current strength, he could even enter the compound of the Wei family and kidnap the alchemist.
But because he was afraid of alerting the Source Sect, Huang Zongshao decided to secretly find out the whereabouts of the alchemist, then bring him to Xiang Nanchun.
As for the strength of the Wei family’s alchemist, Huang Zongshao didn’t even consider it.
In his opinion, the more powerful an alchemist was, the weaker their martial arts cultivation would be, as most of them were strengthened with medicinal pills.
Xiang Nanchun was an example of this. Although his alchemy skills were very high, he was only a qualitative change realm martial artist.
As long as the alchemist went outside, he would have the opportunity to kidnap him.


At night.
On the street.
Xu Ning walked out of the restaurant and bid farewell to Zhou Weichen and his son.
In the evening, Zhou Weichen took the initiative to find Xu Ning and deliver the raw materials of the Pure Source Pills.
At the same time, he told Xu Ning that after his son consumed the Common Intent Pill refined by him, he crossed the threshold of the common seal realm in just one night.
Zhou Weichen was overjoyed and kept thanking Xu Ning.
After Xu Ning heard this, he also knew that the reason why Zhou Weichen’s son could break through so quickly was because he had accumulated enough experience. Consuming the Common Intent Pill was only a form of help.
In order to thank Xu Ning, Zhou Weichen and his son personally invited Xu Ning to dinner. It was not until late at night that they parted ways.
Xu Ning walked into an alley. When he passed through this alley, he could return to the compound of the Wei family.
Xu Ning had basically visited the entire Yunying City.
‘It seems that they are really following me
’
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Ning felt that there was a true intent realm martial artist following him from a distance.
Although the person deliberately concealed his aura, it was useless, as Xu Ning could easily notice him.
Xu Ning was already at the peak of the true intent realm and his Life Pill Sutra was already at the seventh level, thus his perception was extremely strong.
‘Could it be someone from the Wu family?’
Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.
Ever since he came to Yunying City, it seemed that he only had a feud with the Wu family.
Xu Ning thought about it and walked faster.
‘This alchemist is actually a true intent realm martial artist! And he’s so young.’
The one following Xu Ning was naturally Huang Zongshao.
After Xu Ning came out of the restaurant, he had been following Xu Ning, ready to knock Xu Ning out and kidnap him.
But he didn’t expect Xu Ning to be so strong.
‘Fortunately, I only asked my subordinates to investigate and not follow this person, otherwise we would have been exposed.’
Huang Zongshao felt lucky, but he didn’t expect that Xu Ning had already noticed him.
Huang Zongshao followed Xu Ning into the alley.
“Huh?”
As soon as he walked into the alley, Huang Zongshao suddenly noticed that Xu Ning’s aura had disappeared.
“What’s going on?”
Huang Zongshao’s face changed slightly and a strange sense of danger emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Huang Zongshao felt a cold gust of wind behind his ears.
His heart tightened and he quickly dodged.
But it was useless, as a fire and water dual attribute force entered Huang Zongshao’s body.
“Who are you? Why are you following me?”
Xu Ning took advantage of Huang Zongshao’s internal injury and grabbed his neck.
At the same time, Xu Ning activated the dao bracer and attached true intent to his true qi, directly sealing Huang Zongshao’s meridians.
As a void realm eighth stage true intent martial artist, Huang Zongshao did not even manage to retaliate against Xu Ning at all.
With the help of the bracer, the current Xu Ning was comparable to a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist.
“You!”
Huang Zongshao looked at Xu Ning in horror.
“Tell me, why did you follow me?”
Xu Ning’s eyes were cold.
“Sir, this is a misunderstanding.”
Huang Zongshao quickly said.
“Misunderstanding? Ever since I left the restaurant, you have been following me from a distance. Do you really think I didn’t notice?”
Xu Ning sneered.
When Huang Zongshao heard this, his heart was in chaos.
So he was already discovered long ago.
“Sir, I didn’t mean to offend you, but I have a friend who wants to meet you and discuss alchemy with you. My friend is also an alchemist.”
Huang Zongshao thought quickly.
“Oh?”
Xu Ning chuckled. “Your behavior doesn’t seem like you’re inviting people to meet your friend.”
Huang Zongshao wanted to explain, but he felt a sudden pain in his body.
Xu Ning’s attribute power was injected again, directly injuring Huang Zongshao.
“Stop pretending, the blood qi in your body is heterogeneous and your true qi is strange. You practice the secret scroll of a Demon Sect, right?”
Xu Ning pointed out Huang Zongshao’s secret directly.
Huang Zongshao’s expression changed again.
He had deliberately taken a high-level Breath Restraining Pill to hide his aura.
“Tell me your true identity, or I will send you to the Source Sect.”
Xu Ning threatened, “You should know the consequences of exposing one’s Demon Sect identity in the Source Sect’s territory, right?”
Huang Zongshao’s expression was ugly.
He knew very well that the Source Sect was extremely cruel to the martial artists of Demon Sects.
“I am from State Jifeng’s Phantom Blood Sect
”
Huang Zongshao chose to speak the truth.
“From State Jifeng’s Phantom Blood Sect?”
Xu Ning looked surprised.
He didn’t expect to encounter a true intent realm martial artist from State Jifeng.
“What a coincidence, I am from State Jifeng’s Yuelan Sect.”
Xu Ning smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.
“People from the Yuelan Sect!?”
Huang Zongshao’s face turned pale.
In State Jifeng, the Yuelan Sect and the Phantom Blood Sect were hostile forces.
Although the Phantom Blood Sect was relatively weak and the Yuelan Sect did not take them seriously, the Phantom Blood Sect regarded the Yuelan Faction as their number one enemy.
“Tell me the truth, why did you follow me?”
Xu Ning asked again.
“An alchemist entrusted me to kidnap you. He wants to obtain your alchemy technique.”
This time, Huang Zongshao was honest.
“Doesn’t he want to see me? Take me there.”
Xu Ning let go of Huang Zongshao and motioned for him to lead the way.
Although Huang Zongshao was not restrained, his internal injuries were quite serious. If he wanted to escape, he would definitely be caught by Xu Ning.
At that time, he would definitely be killed or sent to the Source Sect.
‘I can’t believe this!’
Huang Zongshao hated Xiang Nanchun. If it hadn’t been for Xiang Nanchun, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
‘I have to find a way to escape
’
Huang Zongshao thought hard.
