Chapter 086 Breakthrough: Bai Yingying and Yun Mengling
The moonlight was cool and clear, hanging high in the sky.
Ning Kui awoke from the altar, his mind clear and his internal energy flowing smoothly and effortlessly.
He had just broken through to the minor completion of the Blood Refining Realm, and his strength had increased to 150,000 jin, his blood as red as mercury.
When it surges at full speed, it makes a "whooshing" sound like a rushing river.
With a major battle imminent, he must maximize his combat strength.
There were two Blood Spirit Pills left in the magic gourd, and he swallowed and refined both of them at once.
The medicinal properties of this pill have diminished considerably over time, but fortunately, its original quality was extremely high.
It could very well be some unfortunate deity who was captured and refined in a gourd by an evil person.
Therefore, after swallowing a blood pill, Ning Kui immediately activated the "Heavenly Record of Exterminating Evil".
This technique, which combines the strengths of many schools of thought, has been enhanced with a large amount of Yin energy points, making it of high quality enough to support his breakthrough to the Elephant Realm.
Moreover, it is comprehensive in its categories; the Mind Method alone is divided into four chapters: Water, Evil, Thunder, and Fire.
In the Blood Refining Realm, he chose to focus on the Great Dao of Thunder and Fire, and after achieving minor success, he has already seen initial results.
If he were to cut his wrist at this moment, the blood that flows out would not only be as warm and viscous as lava, but would also contain specks of silvery lightning mixed in.
His choice to focus on the paths of thunder and fire was not because he wanted to emphasize one aspect over the other.
Instead, the essential condition for breaking through to the Elephant Realm is to first integrate a Great Dao into oneself and condense it into a martial will.
His many supernatural abilities are sometimes a happy kind of trouble.
After careful consideration, he still felt that the Thunderfire Path was the most suitable for his current situation, as it could both subdue evil spirits and humans.
The Blood Spirit Pill transformed into intense vitality and spiritual energy within his abdomen, promoting the transformation of his blood.
"With the 'Gluttony' supernatural power catalyzing my progress, I'm already much faster than the average person. With the Blood Spirit Pill to nourish me, my cultivation speed will reach an even higher level."
"I wonder if I can break through to the Great Perfection of the Blood Refining Realm before the Ghost Mother devours Lin Wenlong and Lin Qimo."
Once you reach the Bone Refining Realm in martial arts, it's all about gradual, painstaking practice.
He would rather give up killing the Ghost Mother than force a breakthrough before achieving perfection.
"Let's see how powerful it is; perhaps there's still room for improvement."

[Yin Qi Point: 14500]
[Comment: Poor, poor, poor! Why aren't you hurrying off to slay the evil spirits? Are you waiting for some yin energy to fall from the sky?!]
The evaluation on the stone tablet made Ning Kui's lips twitch.
It's necessary to emphasize this three times...
The Yin Qi Points are a pitiful 14500, and that's only after killing two Blood Refining Realm warriors and one Bone Refining Realm young master Cai today.
"Besides advancing a mid-level divine ability to its highest level, there's nothing else I can do."
Of these supernatural powers, only [Celestial Phenomenon] seems to be able to counter the Ghost Mother's appearance.
"Add points to advance [Celestial Phenomena] to its highest level!"
With a thought, Ning Kui's [Celestial Phenomenon] divine power immediately began to evolve.
A strange Dao Fruit was visibly growing on the Divine Tree. It seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of water vapor, and lightning and fire occasionally burst forth from within.
"As expected of an intermediate-level divine ability, the Dao fruit it yields is much greater than that of a minor divine ability."
Ning Kui left the Temple of Consciousness with a wry smile. He stood up from the Divine Path Platform. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he might as well go for a walk outside.
If you're lucky, you might just grab a few hundred points of Yin energy, which is pretty good.
The moonlight in the courtyard was like water, shining on the bluestone slabs as if a thin halo was formed.
Ning Kui opened the door and found a figure in white sitting in the pavilion, chin propped up, gazing at the moon, motionless as if lost in thought.
"Miss Yun..."
He thought for a moment, then simply walked over and sat down beside her: "Miss Yun, you can't sleep either?"
Ning Kui's voice suddenly rang out, startling Yun Mengling. She calmed down after realizing it was Ning Kui, patting her chest.
"Young Master Ning, do you walk without making a sound?"
"I'm already at the Blood Refining Realm, and you can still hear me walking? What's the point of all my cultivation...?"
"That's true..."
The two fell silent again. Since Ning Kui rescued her, they had rarely had time to meet.
This is the first time I've ever spent time alone under the moonlight like tonight.
Essentially, in Yun Mengling's imagination, there is a Ning Kui that she knows.
That person was a young hero, handsome and dashing, kind and gentle to the common people, but cruel and domineering to evil spirits.
Ning Kui knew that she liked more the Ning Kui she imagined.
He didn't know if he met her expectations in reality.
Therefore, his attitude towards Yun Mengling remained lukewarm.
Just as the two were feeling awkward, a soft "pfft" of laughter suddenly came from the top of the wall.
Ning Kui turned his head and saw Bai Yingying, that vixen, perched on the wall, looking like she was watching a melon.
"Oh no, why would she come to see me in the middle of the night? If Miss Yun sees me like this, won't she think I often meet with women at night?"
...It doesn't seem like I'm being wronged, after all, I had a relationship with Lingduo once.
But that time it was because I couldn't beat Lingduo, and I was also poisoned with the Burning Desire Gu.
Ning Kui sighed speechlessly, and when his gaze swept over Yun Mengling, he saw that her face had indeed turned pale.
He stood up and said to Yun Mengling, "Miss Yun, it's late. You should go back to your room and sleep."
I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now.
Given his current relationship with Yun Mengling, there's no need for him to explain anything.
If Yun Mengling were to give up on liking him, it would be a relief for him.
After all, he was quite troubled, unsure whether Yun Mengling simply liked him or whether his act of saving her had sparked feelings of affection in her.
It's good to end it like this, shattering illusions and letting go of entanglements.
Ning Kui arrived outside the courtyard, and Bai Yingying, sticking out her tongue, walked over cautiously and asked, "Holy Son, did I ruin your plans?"
"hehe."
Ning Kui glanced at her; this vixen was definitely doing it on purpose.
"Don't be angry, Holy Prince. At worst, I, Yingying, will warm your bed for you tonight instead of Miss Yun, okay?"
"If you say another word, get out."
Bai Yingying immediately showed a wronged expression, turned around and choked up, saying, "Holy Son, after Yingying came back, she has been investigating the Ghost Mother's weaknesses."
As soon as I get a message, I rush over to find you without even taking a break.
In the end, it was Yingying who was being unreasonable; she should have waited until dawn to come over.
"I'm sorry, please forgive Yingying, Holy Son!"
"..."
Even if Ning Kui had a heart of stone, he couldn't bear to scold her. He said a few soft words to comfort her and then got straight to the point.
"What are the weaknesses of that demon mother?"
"Holy Son, you're so realistic..."
_______
Tonight, many people in Uotani Prefecture are still unable to sleep.
Among them was the madam of Chunfeng Tower, who was now wearing carefully applied light makeup and a thin veil, sitting by the window gazing at the moon.
"Young Master Cai, will you be coming again tonight?"
