The Thunderstorm Martial Saint wholeheartedly agreed, his cultivation was slightly higher than the other two, but in terms of actions, he was not as nimble as the others. After his delight, he frustratingly patted his head, saying:
"I’m dood. I don’t have any decent Earth attribute spiritual treasures in hand right now!"
Martial Saint Heize laughed and said:
"Don’t worry, Brother Lei, I have two, just enough to provide both."
The Thunderstorm Martial Saint was overjoyed:
"Good brother, rest assured, I won’t take your spiritual objects without giving sothing in return. I will exchange them for others!"
The three of them all smiled.
They discussed the details of the gift-giving for a long ti and as they talked, they found themselves more and more in tune. The Thunderstorm Martial Saint slapped his leg and shouted:
"Both brothers are people of character. If you don’t mind a brute like , why don’t we beco sworn brothers?"
Martial Saint Heize and White Cloud Martial Saint both revealed excited smiles.
"That is exactly what I was thinking!"
In an unnad valley, the three of them perford a ritual and beca sworn brothers then and there.
"Elder Brother!"
"Second Brother!"
"Third Brother!"
The Thunderstorm Martial Saint was the eldest, White Cloud was the second, and Heize was the third.
The three laughed heartily and then departed into the air with great spirits.
If soone who didn’t know the inside story saw them, they might think the three were about to embark on so earth-shattering grand undertaking.
...
The next day.
At True Martial Mountain.
The three Thunderstorm Martial Saints arrived together, their deanor extrely respectful. The Thunderstorm Martial Saint stood in front of his two sworn brothers, showing great loyalty, and cautiously said:
"Taoist Brother Tianjian, I have often offended you in the past. This is a small token of our sincerity. Please forgive us."
Opposite him was Ning Qi, holding a Taoist Scripture. His ethereal deanor was like that of an immortal exile, sitting beneath the Enlightennt Tea Tree, which made the three Thunderstorm Martial Saints even more restrained.
Ning Qi glanced at the three items brought over, then lifted his eyes casually:
"Enough, let’s put this behind us."
After learning the ins and outs from the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, he was more lenient toward the other Martial Saints. Besides, even without this incident, he had no intention of doing anything against the three Thunderstorm Saints. He wasn’t the type who enjoyed killing.
As the other party had paid the price and shown their attitude and sincerity, that was sufficient.
However, deep down, Ning Qi was a bit surprised that these three were once strangers, having suddenly grown so close.
The three Thunderstorm Martial Saints exchanged glances, feeling imnse relief as if they had been pardoned.
"Thank you, Taoist Brother!"
The three bowed respectfully, then prepared to leave.
"Wait." Ning Qi’s calm voice halted their delighted steps simultaneously.
The Thunderstorm Martial Saint turned his head with a forced smile:
"Taoist Brother Tianjian, do you have any further advice?"
Ning Qi chuckled gently and said:
"As guests, would you not stay for a cup of tea before you go, lest others say I don’t know how to entertain?"
As he spoke, three cups of rich and fragrant Enlightennt Tea floated before the three. Ning Qi chuckled lightly, and the three were initially stunned, then their faces blossod with smiles:
"Thank you, Taoist Brother Tianjian!"
This ti, their thanks were more heartfelt.
After finishing the Enlightennt Tea in one go, the three entered a state of enlightennt, erging from it only after a stick of incense had burned. The three had gained much, a trace of gratitude and respect surfacing in their eyes. This ti, they didn’t speak, rely bowed slightly to Ning Qi before leaving slowly.
Ning Qi shook his head with a smile.
He had done it effortlessly.
Turning his gaze towards the items the three Thunderstorm Saints brought once more, a smile crept onto his lips.
"They were thoughtful."
He could naturally see that the three spiritual treasures were Earth attribute spiritual objects.
Two of them, a Molten Rock Crystal Core and an Earth Marrow, were similar to the Earth Vein Essence Stone given by the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint before. They would be beneficial to Ning Qi’s cultivation and could help him quickly break through to the Fifth Realm Martial Saint.
The other spiritual object was a Spirit Fruit.
An Earth Essence Fruit.
Extending his hand, Ning Qi summoned the fist-sized, pale yellow Spirit Fruit into his palm, his brows lifting at the intense Earth attribute spiritual power.
Imdiately.
He turned his gaze towards the True Martial Peach Tree outside the courtyard.
On the day of Spiritual Awakening, thanks to the transformation of the Enlightennt Tea Tree, the True Martial Peach Tree also advanced considerably, but Ning Qi wanted it to progress further.
"With this Earth Essence Fruit, I can experint with so formations to enhance the True Martial Peach Tree’s cultivation, transforming it into a true Spirit Tree!"
Even though the threat of the Mountain and Sea Realm was looming.
Ning Qi believed that one day it would be resolved, so he didn’t plan to abandon so long-term plans.
Furthermore.
Nowadays, the environntal conditions were far better than before, especially with the ergence of certain spiritual objects giving martial artists hope for rapid advancent. He also planned to gather a batch of treasure and spirit dicines to refine suitable pills to help Luo Wentian and the others enhance their strength, giving them a ans of self-preservation in the upcoming great battle.
For example, the Heaven-Reaching Pill, Ning Qi had them gathering materials for it before.
Of course.
All of this was left to Luo Wentian and the others to accomplish. Ning Qi only needed to devote a bit of ti to deduction and refining without hindering himself.
He was very clear-headed.
His current strength was the priority because, even if Luo Wentian and others were forcibly raised to the Martial Saint Realm, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Collecting the three spiritual objects.
Ning Qi took to the skies.
His target.
Was directly High Heaven.
This was the first ti Ning Qi ventured to High Heaven after entering the Martial Saint Realm, having not been here for quite a while since reaching Celestial Being Perfection, as there was no longer any need for cultivation here.
Now revisiting this place, he imdiately sensed sothing extraordinary.
Spiritual Qi also perated this place, not as intensely as below, but still decent. Hence, visible to the naked eye, the originally terrifying Thunderous Forbidden Zone now beca even more formidable, with bolts of thunder seemingly coming alive, unleashing their power recklessly.
