After the three of them arrived, Xu Ning led them to Elder Wei and asked him to check and record their information.
After talking to Elder Wei, Xu Ning learned that Duan Chaomian’s three disciples had also been selected. As for Yu Qiao and the other three seeds, they had not yet brought their selected disciples.
In regards to that, Xu Ning could already feel Duan Chaomian’s advantage in this assessment.
With the help of the forces behind him, Duan Chaomian’s efficiency would definitely be higher than others.
After returning from Elder Wei’s place, the first thing Xu Ning did was to exchange those dao weapons and other non-energy absorbable resources for medicinal pills and spirit herbs.
With Xu Ning’s current status in the Core Sea Demon Sect, it was not difficult to exchange for vast amounts of resources.
In a short period of time, he had obtained another 20 million units of energy.
After absorbing them, Xu Ning used it all to advance the Core Sea Pill Sutra to the ninth level.
The reason for this was because for Xu Ning, the creation of medicinal pills was his strongest trump card to assist his three disciples in their cultivation.
In the Core Sea Demon Sect, besides the Core Sea Demon Lord, there were only three master alchemists who specialized in alchemy, and their martial arts realm was only in the elementary level of dao realm.
In the Core Sea Demon Sect, only Xu Ning and the Core Sea Demon Lord had such achievements in both alchemy techniques and martial arts.
After Xu Ning exchanged for some spiritual herbs and medicinal materials to refine some supplementary pills, he left the Core Sea Demon Sect’s garrison island with Zhang He and his three disciples.
Xu Ning was ready to take them to a quiet place with few people and try his best to block any outside interference.
In the middle north of State Wansheng, there was a continuous chain of snow mountains.
The environment here was extremely cold, with snow blowing all year round. It was impossible for people below the void realm to survive here.
Even in the void realm, survival here was still relatively dangerous.
This was because there were many dao realm demon beasts lurking here.
But with Xu Ning and Zhang He by their side, Fang Youli, Bian Huang, and Ling Jie did not have to worry about safety.
“Let’s put this Small Tree World here!”
Zhang He threw the seed into the soil, and a big tree quickly grew out of the soil.
This was what Duan Chaofeng had asked Zhang He to bring.
The Small Tree World was a spatial treasure that was beneficial for cultivation. Duan Chaofeng had previously given a Small Tree World to Xu Ning, and it was still in the Swallow Heron Sect.
“From today onwards, in the next half a year, I will train you three with all my effort.”
Xu Ning said to Fang Youli and the other two.
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
“Thank you, Master Xu!”
Fang Youli still looked frank.
Bian Huang and Ling Jie were very humble.
“You three are now considered my in-name disciples.”
Xu Ning added.
Bian Huang and Ling Jie were shocked.
They actually became Master Xu’s disciple?
“Master!”
The two quickly saluted.
This was not just a relationship with Xu Ning. They had truly become master and disciple.
This time, Fang Youli was a little moved.
When he first joined the Swallow Heron Sect, he wanted to become the disciple of the sect master, but Xu Ning refused.
And now that his wish was fulfilled, Fang Youli was a little happy.
Although he wanted to become Xu Ning’s disciple because he wanted to use the title of the sect master’s disciple to enjoy more resources, after seeing Xu Ning’s strength, his desire to become Xu Ning’s disciple never faded.
Finally, today, he was an in-name disciple.
“Bian Huang, Ling Jie…”
Xu Ning looked at the two.
The two listened at the same time.
“I have already figured out the martial arts foundation of the two of you. Next, I will help you break through to the dao realm, then you will fight against the dao realm demon beasts in this snow mountain to improve your combat strength.”
Xu Ning took out two bottles of pills and gave them to the two of them.
“The pills in here are specially refined for you. For these pills, remember to swallow one every day. After finishing the bottle, I will create another type of medicinal pill for you.”
“You don’t have to worry about overconsuming these pills or that it may damage your potential. These medicinal pills are tailor-made for you, it is only beneficial and not harmful to you.”
Xu Ning was telling the truth.
Although obtaining the status of the Core Sea Demon Sect’s sect master was attractive to Xu Ning, it was not necessary for him to obtain it.
He didn’t plan to completely squeeze out the potential of the three of them and let them quickly explode in strength, and caused their future potential to be exhausted and their future advancement to be limited.
“Thank you, Master.”
Bian Huang and Ling Jie took it respectfully.
They were not worried that Xu Ning would harm them.
Even if Xu Ning was burning their potential, the two of them accepted it. In their opinion, becoming Xu Ning’s in-name disciple was already a huge gain.
Moreover, they all knew that the three of them were the pawns that would help Xu Ning become the sect master of the Core Sea Demon Sect. If they performed well and gave Xu Ning help, then they would most likely become Xu Ning’s true disciples.
By then, they would be able to reach the top of State Wansheng.
“You guys enter the Small Tree World and cultivate.”
Xu Ning said, “Fang Youli, you shall stay.”
“Yes.”
Ling Jie and Bian Huang responded obediently.
Although they knew that Fang Youli was being treated specially, they didn’t dare to show it.
“Fang Youli.”
Xu Ning said, “After deliberating over the past few days, I have some guesses about your uniqueness.”
Fang Youli’s ears perked up.
Fang Youli was curious about why he could increase his physical strength and realm after swallowing resources.
He didn’t know anything about his birth.
“I suspect that the bloodline of the Devour Beast is in your body.”
Xu Ning said.
“The bloodline of the Devour Beast?”
Fang Youli was taken aback.
Zhang He, who had been silent all this time, also looked surprised.
Like the Night Beast, the Devour Beast was one of the six apex demon beasts in State Wansheng.
“There’s such a thing?”
Zhang He was the one who asked first.
“According to my investigation, Fang Youli’s advancement mechanism is very similar to the Devour Beast. Moreover, there is indeed a strange energy in his bloodline. In fact, from the beginning, I suspected that he had fused with a demon beast bloodline, but I had felt that this conjecture was ridiculous. After all, how can a demon beast bloodline coexist with a human bloodline?”
“However, during the attack on the Harmony King Mansion, I came into contact with a master of the Hidden Sect. At that time, he had integrated the blood of a top-tier demon beast into his own, and he could even transform into the form of that demon beast.”
“That’s why I have this guess.”
Xu Ning explained.
