"Skywind City? Sure!" Ling Mo Xie nodded decisively. What was there to be afraid of? He was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and Ning Qi was only at the same level. If he showed fear, wouldn't that make him seem cowardly?
Ning Qi was somewhat surprised by Ling Mo Xie's straightforward response and glanced at him. Where did this kid get his confidence?
After all, in Ning Qi's eyes, although Ling Mo Xie seemed unaffected by others' imposing presence for some reason, his cultivation level was still not high. At least, it was much lower than that of himself, a direct disciple of the Azure Emperor.
What Ning Qi didn't know was that in just a few seconds, Ling Mo Xie had already advanced from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, and he was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul, not inferior to Ning Qi's cultivation level!
Ning Qi couldn't even dream of guessing this. After all, in this world, regardless of any heavenly materials or miraculous pills, one needed time to digest them.
Ling Mo Xie's situation was simply beyond the realm of thought for someone from this world.
However, Ning Qi had absolute confidence in his own cultivation. He couldn't believe that his alchemy skills were inferior to this unknown kid whose cultivation level was still lower than his!
As for what had just happened, Ning Qi had already rationalized it; it must have been because he had been too careless earlier and accidentally fell for Ling Mo Xie's trick. If he had taken it seriously...
Ling Mo Xie didn't have time to worry about Ning Qi's thoughts. After reaching an agreement with him, he turned around and continued distributing pills.
With Ning Qi's scheme exposed, he naturally felt embarrassed to stay there any longer. Moreover, having agreed to the battle in Skywind City with Ling Mo Xie, there was no need for him to remain.
In his eyes, Ling Mo Xie's life was already firmly in his grasp.
Soon, the few pills that were available were distributed, and Ling Mo Xie returned to his tent with Bai Yunfei and Sun Xiaoxiao.
As dusk fell, Ling Mo Xie said to Bai Yunfei and Sun Xiaoxiao, "How about watching a grand show?"
"What kind of show?" Bai Yunfei and Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Mo Xie in confusion.
"What kind of show? I want to go too!" Xiao Chi, who had been munching on a chicken leg while playing with Chen Yan nearby, perked up upon hearing this and eagerly asked Ling Mo Xie.
"Haha! What kind of show? It's a good show that will definitely satisfy your cravings!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily as he spoke to them.
"Mo Xie! What is it really about? Are you going to tell us or not?" Sun Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, her pretty face stern as she stared wide-eyed at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie smiled and pinched Sun Xiaoxiao's pouty little face playfully as he said, "Remember when someone caused trouble during the pill distribution today?"
"Yeah! But what do you mean by saying there's going to be a big show? Last time you said that, it was because Ning Qi embarrassed himself at the Elixir distribution meeting, and this time..." Bai Yunfei interrupted, glancing thoughtfully at Ling Mo Xie.
"But what does that have to do with someone causing trouble during today's Elixir distribution?" Sun Xiaoxiao still didn't understand and asked Ling Mo Xie.
Before Ling Mo Xie could respond, Bai Yunfei jumped in, "Don't you get it? The Elixir distribution is a great event for everyone in the Refuge Camp, whether they are from families or commoners. Who would come to cause trouble, except..."
"Except Ning Qi!" Sun Xiaoxiao chimed in.
But then she frowned and shook her head, saying, "Even so, what's the big show to watch? I know that Ning Qi can't get the upper hand against you, but that's all in the past, isn't it? You didn't even invite us to watch back then!" Sun Xiaoxiao said angrily.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Sun Xiaoxiao's cute expression and playfully flicked her forehead, eliciting a pout from her.
Bai Yunfei shivered, wondering if he should leave.
However, Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily and said, "It's not too late now; Ning Qi has challenged me to a decisive battle tonight in Skywind City!"
"What!" As soon as Ling Mo Xie said this, it drew exclamations of surprise from all three of them.
"How can you fight him? He's at the Nascent Soul Stage!" Bai Yunfei and Sun Xiaoxiao both frowned and said.
Meanwhile, Hong Chi was so shocked that he dropped his chicken leg and candied hawthorn on the ground without realizing it.
"Is it really that surprising? You don't believe me?" Ling Mo Xie said helplessly to them.
Bai Yunfei and Sun Xiaoxiao exchanged glances. Finally, Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Mo Xie as if he were an idiot and prepared to persuade him not to go: "How did he manage to convince you to agree to this battle? He is..."
"At the Late Stage of Nascent Soul! Right?" Ling Mo Xie interrupted Sun Xiaoxiao's words, raising an eyebrow as he countered her question.
"He is at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul; does that mean I'm not?" Ling Mo Xie said calmly, as if stating an ordinary fact. At the same time, his aura surged forth, causing Sun Xiaoxiao and Bai Yunfei's expressions to change drastically.
"This powerful aura... what is this..." Bai Yunfei murmured in disbelief. He couldn't believe it; after all, wasn't Ling Mo Xie still at the Late Stage of Golden Core just yesterday?
This is faster than riding a rocket!
Sun Xiaoxiao also took a while to regain her senses and looked at Ling Mo Xie in astonishment, asking, "When did you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage... and even to the Late Stage!"
"Just a little while ago, when I went to find the old man," Ling Mo Xie replied without hesitation.
"So, how did you suddenly break through so many realms?" Bai Yunfei came back to his senses and eagerly asked Ling Mo Xie.
As the sole heir of the Illusory Void Sect, he not only had to be skilled at identifying various treasures but also knew quite a bit about the secrets of the Cultivation World.
However, he had never heard of anyone suddenly increasing their cultivation level by so much in just one day. Was this person even human?
No, even if it were a demon, such a thing shouldn't happen.
"Alright! Stop overthinking it. The old man gave me a treasure that my father left behind. The reason I advanced so much in one day is because of that treasure!"
Seeing the disbelief on their faces as they continued to speculate, Ling Mo Xie had to clarify.
"I see!" The three nodded, while Xiao Chi looked at the chicken leg and candied hawthorn on the ground with a pained expression.
Deep down, they couldn't accept such an unbelievable occurrence, but if it was something left by Ling Liyun, then... it might not be impossible, right?
In the Cultivation World, the legend of Ling Liyun had almost become mythological.
"Haha! No matter what, if Mo Xie is at the late stage of Nascent Soul, then Ning Qi is in trouble! Let's go! We have a show to watch!" Sun Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and said with a smile.
