Starting with the drowned ghost, he synthesized the Myobo no Shinjun.

[Yin Qi Point: 33400]

Ning Kui lay under the old tree in the Temple of Consciousness, looking at the words on the stone tablet while looking up at the Dao Fruit on the tree.

Among them, the minor supernatural powers [Gluttony] and [Flying Stone] have been greatly mastered, with fruits hanging on the branches. They only need to be improved by adding 9,000 points to each to reach perfection.

Intermediate-level supernatural abilities such as [Water Escape Technique], [Yin Ghost Transport Technique], and [Mystic Ice Domain] are all at the beginner level.

Currently, only a few silver stamens are visible on the branches.

"The Dao Fruit is precious, and although Chen Qi is my disciple, I cannot bestow it upon him without a life-or-death test."

"The young lady is certainly worthy, but which one should we give her? She is gentle and kind and doesn't like to fight with others."

While Gluttony is beneficial, it requires sufficiently high base stats to be effective.

As for the "Flying Stone Technique," with the young lady's strength, the things she throws will only tickle a martial artist.

Ning Kui felt that neither of the two Divine Ability Fruits he had was very suitable for his young lady.

"Let's wait a little longer. One person can only bear one Dao Fruit, so we must be careful."

If only there were a Dao Fruit that could make you stronger by nourishing your health...

Aside from his mistress, Ning Kui could only trust Xia Chan and Yun Mengling.

Xia Chan was rescued by him from the hands of slave traders and served his concubine with great care.

The city has been quite chaotic lately. Although the little girl isn't very capable, her stepmother said that whenever trouble comes, she always steps forward to protect her.

"Just give her a [Gluttony] card."

Ning Kui couldn't help but chuckle when he thought back to their first meeting, when Xia Chan rolled up her sleeves and pretended to throw a set of wild, unorthodox punches.

"Xia Chan should also practice martial arts. With the [Gluttony] supernatural power boost, her cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

How about making her the senior disciple of the Demon-Slaying Martial Arts School?

As for Yun Mengling...

Ning Kui was quite troubled; this little girl's thoughts were practically written all over her face.

He is not heartless; it's just that the current situation is turbulent.

Once Li Qijue leaves, Yugu County will inevitably face a bloody counterattack.

He had to seize every day to become stronger, so he had no time for romance.

"Let's keep the [Stone Flying Technique] for now."

Having made up his mind, Ning Kui immediately mobilized 18,000 Yin Qi points to push the two supernatural abilities, [Gluttony] and [Flying Stone], to their peak.

[Minor Supernatural Power: Gluttony (Perfect), Progress (10000/∞)]

[Characteristics: Can accumulate ten times its own energy reserves; can fuse with other supernatural abilities to advance to intermediate-level supernatural abilities.]

[Minor Supernatural Power: Flying Stone Technique (Perfect), Progress (10000/∞)]

[Characteristic: Can mark targets with flying star imprints, causing thrown objects to fly towards the target even when unseen. Can be fused with other supernatural abilities to evolve into new intermediate-level supernatural abilities.]

"Flying Star Seal?"

Ning Kui suddenly remembered the two golden pills in the Seven Star Bag.

This explains why he was tracked when he left Yugu County to buy rice.

"We need to remove the flying star mark from those two golden pills as soon as possible."

Ning Kui belatedly realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.

With this tracking device, any expert from the Yuan family in Sichuan could easily throw a stone lion at them and kill them.

Of course, this is on the premise that the opponent's strength is great enough and the stone lion is hard enough.

The Bone Refining Realm is a realm that requires gradual and painstaking effort. Even if Ning Kui had enough Yin Qi points to break through, he still had to wait for his bones to complete their transformation.

It's like his current strength is 60,000 jin, while the limit marked on the stone tablet is 68,000 jin.

He will not allow himself to break through in an imperfect state.

They could only patiently wait for their bones to completely transform into silver bones.

Looking at the remaining 15400 Yin Qi points.

Ning Kui could only first increase the skill points of the intermediate-level divine abilities [Water Escape Technique], [Yin Ghost Transport Technique], and [Mystic Ice Domain] to the minor mastery level.

This was a last resort; for him, the most urgent task should have been to improve his martial arts level.

……

Ning Kui's mind was immersed in the temple in his sea of ​​consciousness, and to outsiders it looked as if he were taking a nap under the shade of a tree.

Chen Qi stood in a horse stance, his face covered in sweat, his legs trembling as if he were being shaken.

But he remained silent, and since Ning Kui didn't tell him to stop, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Hey, you idiot, didn't you see the young master is asleep? Go take a rest."

Xia Chan walked over with a cup of herbal tea, looking at Chen Qi with a smile as if he were a fool.

She first poured a cup of tea for Ning Kui, and then poured another cup for Chen Qi.

"Take it, you idiot."

Chen Qi's mouth was dry; his vocal cords were so dry that it seemed they would snap if he spoke any louder: "No...no need...thank you."

Xia Chan raised an eyebrow: "Not only is she dull, but she's also stubborn."

She reached out and held the bowl to Chen Qi's lips: "Is this alright? It won't interfere with your cultivation of divine skills."

The cool, sweet and sour plum tea flowed down Chen Qi's throat and into his stomach, and wherever it passed, his flesh and blood seemed to groan with pleasure.

After finishing his tea, Chen Qi licked his lips, a hint of gratitude showing on his honest face: "Thank you, Little Sister Chan."

"No need, just focus on your training and help the young master as soon as possible."

Xia Chan waved generously, and as she turned around, she saw Ning Kui looking at her with a half-smile under the tree.

"Oh, young master, you're awake?"

Ning Kui stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the house: "Xiao Chan, come here, I have something to say to you."

"what?"

Xia Chan blushed slightly when she saw Ning Kui walking towards the bedroom.

Has the young master finally come to his senses?

She quickly skipped and hopped after Ning Kui into the house, and very sensibly locked the door behind her.

Chen Qi stared in disbelief outside, then quickly turned his head away, trying to convince himself that he hadn't seen anything.

The room was dimly lit. Ning Kui sat down at the table and asked, "Xiao Chan, do you want to practice martial arts?"

"what?"

Xia Chan's eyes widened. "Young Master, you could have asked this question outside. Why did you have to call me into the room?"

It wasn't until Ning Kui held up a strange, dark-black fruit with a skin that looked like it was covered in teeth that she realized what was happening.

The young master is going to give her his precious treasure!

The [Gluttony] Dao Fruit emanated a deep, dark light, possessing an inexplicable allure.

Xia Chan nodded frantically, even having to cover her mouth with both hands to suppress the urge to scream.

"This Dao Fruit is called [Gluttony], which can convert food into energy and store it in the body."

It has many uses, including healing injuries, breaking through bottlenecks, increasing attack power, and even devouring enemy spells.

I give it to you today; remember, do not reveal it to others unless absolutely necessary.

Especially in front of government officials.

"Uh-huh!!"

Xia Chan was so excited that tears were about to fall; the young master was so good to her.

She was willing to give anything for the young master, just by saying the word! Although she had been willing before, now her desire to do something for the young master had reached its peak.

"Alright, go out now."

"Huh? So fast?"

Xia Chan accepted the Dao Fruit, but before she could express her gratitude, she was kicked out of the room.

Chen Qi watched as the bedroom door opened and Xia Chan walked out, her eyes red, looking like she had just been crying.

Immediately, I focused my attention on my nose and mind, and tried my best to get into a proper horse stance.

Oh, so this is what kind of master you are.
