Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1395 - 627: Water That Corrodes the Divine Soul

"Indeed, we should split up and act separately."

Ning Qi nodded, then headed towards the backyard.

Medicine Spirit stayed in the front yard and began to fly towards the side rooms.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi arrived at the backyard.

In the open space here, there was a martial arts arena that had been set up.

However, due to the ravages of time, it had already collapsed.

Clearly, the former owner of this place was also a cultivator.

Ning Qi discovered some spiritual marrow here.

He bypassed the martial arts arena and came to the side rooms.

After checking several rooms, he arrived at the study.

On the bookshelf by the wall, he saw some ancient texts.

Ning Qi opened them to have a look, but they were written in classical scripts he could not comprehend.

So, he directly summoned Shi Xiaokun.

"Master."

He greeted respectfully upon appearing.

"Look at these ancient texts and tell me what they record."

Ning Qi pointed at the texts on the wall and said to him.

"Alright, let me have a look."

After Shi Xiaokun agreed, he approached the bookshelf and started to examine the texts.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi continued to search here for other useful items.

But after a round of searching, he found nothing new.

"Master, most of these texts are records concerning this family."

By this time, Shi Xiaokun had finished looking through the texts.

"Hmm, is there anything valuable?"

Ning Qi nodded and asked again.

"Master, some of it is related to this city, but it’s mostly business records."

"Additionally, they introduce some situations concerning the City Lord here, but none of it is useful to us anymore."

"The people here have all been killed."

Shi Xiaokun shook his head and continued, "Valuable things have lost their significance, given that this Inner Realm is already in ruins."

"Are there no cultivation technique or array texts?"

Ning Qi pressed on.

"No, this isn’t a family of cultivators."

"However, there is one note mentioning a sect located a hundred miles outside this city."

"It’s called the Wanxiao Sect, although it was destroyed long ago, but we can’t guarantee we won’t find anything if we visit."

Shi Xiaokun suddenly remembered something, picked up one of the texts, and said, "This household used to supply them with some resources, so there are records."

"Hmm, keep that one. We’ll search through this city and then head over to take a look."

Ning Qi nodded and then said.

"Alright, then I’ll go ahead and search."

"With more people, we can find things faster."

After Shi Xiaokun agreed, he proposed.

"By the way, how many people do we have available in our Inner Realm now?"

Ning Qi also thought of something and asked in return.

"Master, for now, there aren’t any. They need to be nurtured by the Origin Power here."

"It’s not that fast yet, but once they’re mature, I’ll inform you."

Shi Xiaokun shook his head and explained.

"Alright, then go ahead."

"We’ll search separately."

Ning Qi nodded and then left the study.

He proceeded towards the other side rooms.

After seriously searching for a while, he found nothing.

Finally, he greeted Medicine Spirit, then parted ways completely with the two.

After leaving the mansion, he headed forward.

Soon he arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

He explored for a moment; this place had long since lost its vitality. As for Medicine Spirit and Shi Xiaokun, they went off to search in different directions.

Therefore, Ning Qi directly ascended to the sky above the City Lord’s Mansion, overlooking the land below.

Evidently, this was the place for the most violent battles.

In the courtyard, there were several gullies, deeply sunken.

However, there must have been an array here, preventing complete destruction.

Ning Qi flew through the void and began to investigate if there was anything here worth finding.

From the front yard to the backyard, he passed through several courtyards without gaining anything.

The exception was that there were still some side rooms in the City Lord’s Mansion.

From time to time, skeletons could be seen, nothing but dry bones now.

Beside these skeletons, Ning Qi found leftover storage bags.

He found more than ten in one go, choosing not to open them one by one, but instead collecting them all to examine their contents later.

Perhaps he could find some useful information there.

The City Lord’s Mansion was made up of cultivators, so they might hold some secrets about the place.

Ning Qi searched thoroughly here, finally arriving at the garden in the back.

This was actually a small courtyard, and the garden was still well-preserved.

The rockeries remained, although some weeds were growing on the ground.

But where the ground was paved with bricks, there were no traces of weeds.

"This seems more like a woman’s boudoir."

Ning Qi scrutinized the surroundings, very certain.

He took a look around and then headed straight to one of the side rooms.

Here he saw dried blood stains, with skeletons on both the stool and the bed.

Already weathered.

Apparently, there was a battle here as well, but the people here were weaker and didn’t cause much destruction.

Other than that, Ning Qi didn’t find anything else useful.

Then he walked out, gazing at the still relatively intact back garden.

Ning Qi expanded his divine sense, trying to investigate and uncover any details here.

But after a thorough search, he found nothing.

As he took flight and prepared to leave, he happened to be above the garden.

"Huh."

Suddenly, he sensed a disturbance below.

This kind of disturbance carried a sense of excitement.

Causing Ning Qi to abruptly stop.
