Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 224: Chapter 140: Gang Essence Sword Species, Enlightenment Tea_2

Ning Qi broke the slightly silent atmosphere with a smile. "You all didn’t prepare a new wedding gift for fifth senior brother, but I did."

Everyone’s eyes lit up. "Good for you, Jiu, quietly preparing something on your own!"

They were somewhat looking forward to Ning Qi’s gift.

Everyone was gradually becoming more aware of Ning Qi’s uniqueness. Although they didn’t know, like Luo Wentian did, that Ning Qi was True Man Tianjian, they recognized that Ning Qi was extraordinary. This True Martial Peach Fruit was evidence of that.

Up to today, after years of continuous cultivation, the Peach Fruit, having absorbed part of the essence of the Bright Fruit and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, had become an exceptional Exotic Fruit. Its effectiveness was even better than last year, able to strengthen the foundation and essence and explore the physical body.

One can imagine the reaction when those disciples receive the rewarded Peach Fruits at the end of the year competition.

The crowd was only not overly astonished because they were accustomed to it.

But to Li Ling and Lin Ruhua, it was still extremely impressive.

At this moment.

Jiang Baishan felt even more touched. He had watched Ning Qi grow up step by step. He didn’t care what Ning Qi gave; he was simply moved by the sentiment behind it.

Lin Ruhua was curious.

Even though it had only been a few days, with her cleverness, through observation and the attitudes of others, she could perceive that this ninth junior brother was not simple.

Ning Qi didn’t keep them in suspense.

He got up and went inside, then came out holding a small jade box.

As everyone’s gaze was drawn to it, the jade box opened, revealing a pair of green Mandarin Duck Jade Pendants in front of everyone. The ducks were vivid, as if alive. Ning Qi picked them up and handed them to Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua, saying solemnly: "These are jade pendants I made myself. I wish for fifth senior brother and sister-in-law to fly side by side, united forever, and after traversing countless mountains and rivers, may everything remain as it is."

These words were meaningful, understood slightly by only Luo Wentian, who felt a subtle shock in his heart and then sighed.

Jiang Baishan was grateful and said: "Thank you, Jiu, for your blessings and gift! We both really like it."

Ning Qi smiled gently: "Since you like it, you should wear it close to your heart."

Jiang Baishan didn’t hesitate.

He took the Mandarin Duck Jade Pendant from Lin Ruhua’s hand and placed it on her right waist, while Lin Ruhua placed hers on Jiang Baishan’s left waist.

The crowd looked over.

The green light of the jade pendants enveloped the two in a faint glow, making Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua look like celestial lovers, envied only by Mandarin Ducks, not the Immortals, creating a tangible manifestation in that moment.

Moreover.

Upon wearing the Mandarin Duck Jade Pendants, they both felt rejuvenated, as if their bodies were crystal clear. When they exchanged glances, they saw the amazement in each other’s eyes and realized the jade pendants were not just beautiful, but rare treasures.

Ning Qi felt relieved.

These jade pendants were, of course, not simple.

After Ning Qi detected the alliance between the Southern Border and the Demon Sect, he felt a sense of crisis. He wasn’t worried about his own safety, but concerned that the Demon Sect and Southern Border might target his martial brothers and sisters. After all, they couldn’t stay on True Martial Mountain forever; they would eventually go out.

Therefore, he kept researching ways for them to have some self-defense capabilities.

Among them, the Gang Essence Sword Species was one direction.

It could store a part of Ning Qi’s Gang Qi and Sword Intent for an explosive release. Although it lacked the power of heaven and earth, it could still withstand some of the Celestial Human Realm without issue. This idea was naturally good, but very difficult to achieve. It was nearly impossible to preserve Gang Qi for long. But Ning Qi drew from the principle of condensing the Sword Pill in the Virtual Sword Pill Dissolution Technique and devised a way to condense the Sword Species externally.

But he encountered the biggest problem.

There was no suitable carrier.

If Ning Qi was present, the Gang Essence could naturally transform endlessly, but once it was detached, it couldn’t last. This was an unchangeable nature.
